1. The book I chose was Scholarships, Fellowships, and Loans. I chose this book because I am currently spying for my son to go to college and at the same time, working on finishing up my Doctoral degree. Soon, I will also have my daughter in college. As we all know, college is expensive, and I am always trying to find scholarships for the three of us. We have had to use some Federal financial assistance, as well as a loan, but I would like to find opportunities for Scholarships to help us with the funding that we wouldn't have to be held accountable for in the future.This book could be useful to help me find scholarships we could apply for.
2. When I did a search for zinc, there were many book titles and articles that appeared. One in particularthat caught my attention was an article on an acne diet. Raising teenagers, it has been a periodic dilema to try to cure breakouts. I read this article to determine what some solutions may be. The article did mention many different solutions for eating habits, but only listed zinc as one of the vitamins that can help. It appears to me that the article was populated in my search just because the word "zinc" appears in the article - and wasn't necessarily the subject of the article.
Next, I searched for The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Again, I found a lengthy list of books and articles, but what I found interesting is that books and articles appeared that had similar subjects of those throughout the story of Huckleberry Finn, such as censorship, race, and prejudice. I clicked on the first article that was in my list, and found that it was an article that explained what the story of Huckleberry Finn was about. I really like the listen feature of this site! I have had to read lengthy articles in the past, and it was cumbersome to try to figure out how to have the text read. (I like to listen to the articles while I'm driving in my car.) I found this site's "Listen" feature to be easy, and the voice was pleasant to listen to. I would definitely use this feature when doing research.
3. First, I visited Mrs. Kafka's blog, and read that she was interested in listening to just a particular selection of text. I then read the comments that followed, and was glad to discover a post explaining how to do just that. This was very helpful, as I was thinking the same thing when I experimented with the "Listen" feature. Next, I looked at LuckyMom's blog, and learned of more options available with the "Listen" feature. I am eager now to go back in and check out the colors and speed settings.
Thanks, Tolliver, for your work here. Glad you discovered how to use the Listen feature to suit you; it is handy for listening while driving. One answer to the question about zinc is found in the Gale Encyclopedia of Nursing & Allied Health: "Oysters are tremendously high in zinc. Some sources, such as whole grains, beans, and nuts, have good zinc content but the fiber in these foods prevents it from being absorbed well. Foods with zinc that is better utilized include beef, chicken, turkey, milk, cheese, and yogurt. Pure maple syrup also is a good dose of zinc."
ReplyDeleteBut what you found was of interest to you. Thanks for your comments, and good luck with those scholarships!
