Systemic weed-killer, like those made with glyphosate, should be applied directly to the weed you want to get rid of. Do not apply these products to your entire lawn. Glyphosate products kill all vegetation and should only be applied directly to the leaves of the dandelion.
That's one giant leap! Alan Eustace, a senior vice president at Google, set a new world record today by completing the highest-altitude skydive yet--parachuting from 135,908 feet (or 25 miles) above Earth. The record was previously held by daredevil skydiver Felix Baumgartner, who leaped from 24 miles above Earth in October 2012.
Five planes were used by the divers, who jumped out at 18,000ft, to beat the previous best of 69.

The 108 international freeflyers were carefully selected over a year of qualifications from events around the world.
