Am I a procrastinator?

 Yes, I consider myself a procrastinator.

Although I sometimes finish the given task or project as fast as possible, most of the time I postpone it until the last possible moment. I can't even count how many times I found myself sitting in front of the desk for hours, in order to finish some long term task right before the deadline.

Even though I know how much benefits come with doing tasks earlier, such as more free time and not having to constantly remind myself of the deadline, I still still manage to put off on all kinds of tasks, rather than doing them instantly.

Delaying necessary assignments can put you in a very uncomfortable situation. For example, pulling an all-nighter can be devastating to your sleep schedule, and it basically can ruin your next few days, or even a whole week, and that's exactly why I need to start doing my tasks on the first possible occasion.

      Did you ever wonder why most popular musicians usually die young, or at least younger than most of us? There are several factors for which musicians experience shorter life spans than the rest of us. There have been various studies done on this particular subject, and it turns out that more than quarter of musicians' deaths were strongly related to alcohol or drug abuse. In the music industry, a lot of upcoming stars don't know how to deal with their lives, resulting in trying new addictive substances.  According to The New Orleans Musicians Clinic, vast majority of all of the city's musicians struggle in their occupation resulting in life at or below the poverty level and most of them don't even have health insurance. Of course, not all musicians are likely to live shorter. It depends on various factors, such as even the music genre in which they're working. To sum up, musicians on average have shorter life spans for numerous reasons, but it mainly depend...

Does music help plants grow faster?

     Not so long ago, I stumbled upon an interesting statement - "Music helps plants grow faster". As everyone would do, I went onto the internet to verify if this statement is actually true. I found out that it's not really music that helps plants grow faster, but a particular sound waves. For example, Heidi Appel and Rex Cocroft of the University of Missouri "wondered whether plants would respond to the sound of insect herbivores feeding, so they ran a couple of experiments". They recorded the sound of a caterpillar feeding on an Arabidopsis, and then they played it back during the growth of a set of these plants. Compered to a set of plants growing in silence, when they later placed caterpillars on these plants, the group that was exposed to the sound produced much higher quantities of mustard oil in order to repel these insects. So as it turns out it isn't music that changes plant's behavior, but the sound waves and sounds that they recognize. https:...

Volcano eruption on Java island

     Today, in East Java there has been an unsuspected occurrence. Mount Semeru has erupted, causing tremendous fear in the locals. Fortunately, no one was injured, but nearly 2000 people have been evacuated. Authorities gave information, that it began erupting at about 02:46 local time (19:46 GMT). Because of the "hot avalanches" of lava poured from Semeru, people have been commanded to keep the minimal distance of 8 kilometers from the volcano. According to a spokesman for Indonesia's Center for Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation (PVMBG), "The increased threat level from three to four also means the danger threatens people's homes". Besides the damage done to houses, it also inflicted a bridge, that is being rebuilt after a previous eruption of Semeru, which caused a series of natural disasters that resulted in many deaths. Fortunately, after the today's eruption meteorologists said no tidal changes had been observed. https://www.bbc.com/news...
