INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Aerial application is most often carried out using state-of-the-art agricultural planes. These aircraft are specially-engineered to offer greater control at low altitudes while providing maximum visibility, higher spraying rates, and greater carrying capacity. They also facilitate shorter takeoffs and landings. The Rockwell Thrush Commander, Piper PA-36 Pawnee Brave, and M-18 Dromader are a few of the most popular planes among ag pilots. These days, crop dusting may also be performed using gliders, helicopters, or even remote-controlled drones. You may need a separate license in order to operate these aircraft legally. Though it's referred to as crop "dusting," most applications use liquid pesticides and fungicides because they spread farther and more evenly than those in powdered form. Both liquid and powdered protection products are deployed from the nozzles on a crop dusting aircraft. Some planes are even equipped with variable-rate nozzles and onboard computers to monitor dispersal patterns and minimize spray drift. The primary use for powdered chemicals in modern crop dusting is applying sulfur-based pesticides to melons and other large crops. Certain chemicals that used to be employed in crop dusting, such as lead arsenate and DDT, have since been banned after being linked to cancer, liver and kidney disease, and other serious illnesses. You'll typically have the most success in the early morning or late evening, when there's fewer people out and less air traffic to contend with. It's also a good idea to keep an eye on the weather around the time that you set out. Strong winds, for example, can interfere with dispersal (as well as the pilot's ability to fly the plane), while rain can wash away chemicals before they can be effective. The timing of aerial applications can play a major role in overall yield come harvest time. If you work for a large commercial farm or food company, your schedule may be subjected to frequent updates and revisions as weather conditions change. GPS locators make the pilot's job much easier by making it possible for them to apply chemicals with incredible precision. Many advanced systems are accurate to within 3 feet (0.91m), which means you won't have to worry about gaps in coverage or excessive overlap. GPS systems can be supplemented with onboard technologies like aerial imaging, infrared mapping of targeted areas, and fully-interactive electronic displays for even greater efficiency. Improved accuracy means less waste and safer industry standards for both the pilot and the farming community.

SUMMARY: Use an aircraft designed for crop dusting. Familiarize yourself with different chemicals and delivery systems. Determine the best time to apply chemicals. Use GPS technology to guide your applications.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: With some old shirts and store bought dye packets, you can turn boring clothes into fun ones. After creating the dyes by following their listed instructions, dip or color your t-shirt and keep it in a grocery bag for 4 to 6 hours. Once it has set, rinse your shirt in cold water, wash it on its own, and let it dry. As long as you have a phone, you can make a vlog for YouTube or other social media sites. Sit down near some light, point the camera toward yourself, and press record. Some good starting topics include: Your favorite movies, video games, bands, or books. What you did during the summer, including any vacations you went on or camps you went to. What you're looking forward to (or dreading) about the school year ahead. Before the book reports and history essays start, let your imagination run wild with a short story. Sit down and brainstorm some characters and a challenge they have to overcome. Write down your ideas and see what sort of tale you can come up with. Don't worry about spelling or grammar yet, just let your creativity take you where it wants to go. If you have trouble thinking up characters or ideas, try making some fan fiction based around your favorite movies, TV shows, or books. . Painting is a great way to relax and get your mind ready for the school year ahead. Grab some simple watercolor or acrylic paints, a few brushes, and drawing or watercolor paper to work on. Paint whatever comes to mind, follow along with painting shows like Bob Ross' The Joy of Painting, or try and recreate your favorite picture. Remember, this is just for you, so don't sweat any "happy little accidents." If painting isn't your speed, try other artistic crafts like drawing, papier mache, or photography.

SUMMARY:
Have a tie-dye day. Make a vlog. Write a short story. Take some time to paint
