Scientists successfully train humans to echolocate like BATS | Daily Mail Online 

What do a bat, beluga whales, and even dolphins have in common? The ability of echolocation, but one weird fact that intrigued me was that humans use it too! Echolocation occurs when sound waves are emitted and bounce back from an object which helps with navigation and/or hunting. In one of the articles I read regarding echolocation, this special skill enables blind/ sight problems people things that require the sense of sight possible. By utilizing clicking sounds from our mouths, snapping fingers, cane tapping, and other ways to emit sound waves to see the world. Now it got me thinking if we are taking our ability to see for granted or not.

To future AP Psych. Students

 Hey future AP Pysch. Students! Taking AP Psychology is a fun course and hopefully you’ll enjoy it as much as I do. I’ll start with some MAJOR things to do in order to be successful in this class (take it from my experience).  MUST  - Vocabularies for each unit (writing down definitions, providing examples, and be able to apply it)  - Unit task: One way I do my unit task is 1- Creating a Mind Map for the unit (1-9) , 2- doing the MCQ in College Board, 3- finally ending the unit mastery with SAQ  - Mostly blog post, this project has been my favorite task in this class. I’m able to allow myself free and let loose of my personality here.  Tips:  AP Psychology is not a hard class, but one thing is that the class is not for procrastinators. (Take it from my experience), DO NOT do all of the unit task and vocabularies before the quiz dates because that won’t help you prepare for the quiz.  Adjustment:  There is one adjustment I want to add is notes...

 My birthday is December 7th, so I have the Cerebellum and Endorphins. My superhero's name is Equilibrizer, and his superpower is maintaining a human's body posture and perfect body coordination. But he didn't start out as an "Equilibrizer". Equilibrizer started out as a clumsy little boy, wreaking havoc within his city and causing his family harm (little injuries). He left his family without notice to keep them safe.  With his isolation, he vowed to be more precise and cautious with his movement. That's when Pons took upon his new apprentice making this clumsy little boy into an "Equilibrizer". Not only for smooth and perfect movements, but the Equilibrizer also helps with pain and relieves others, putting smiles on children around the world. He is looked upon by kids for improving their well-being. So.. being clumsy isn't a bad thing.
