    While I will agree with you on the basis that the Renaissance were perhaps more unique than Haskins gives it credit for, I will disagree with your evaluation of what does make the Renaissance unique. You say that societal changes were significant, and perhaps they were if you were upper class. The lower classes, however, didn’t experience the Renaissance in quite the same way. There was not as big of a societal shift for them as there was for the intellectual, the political, and the upper class in general. I also believe that the reformation in art and learning were a significant part.…

    Solar Energy Pros and Cons

    • 2001 Words
    • 9 Pages

    For many years, solar energy has been the economic choice for use in many industries where power is required at remote locations without government subsidy, as the vast majority of systems used require little electrical power. Solar energy is frequently used to power transportation signals. For example, offshore navigation buoys, lighthouses, and at an increasing rate traffic warning signals are using solar power due to its power saving efficiency. Solar power’s greatest benefit here is that it is highly reliable and requires little maintenance so it is ideal to use in places that are hard to access.…

    Far and Away

    • 1508 Words
    • 7 Pages

    Far and Away begins in late 19th century Ireland. A young, ambitious tenant farmer who dreams of owning his own land, Joseph Donnelly, wants to get revenge on his father’s death by killing his landlord, Daniel Christie. His journey to the landlord’s home is unsuccessful, and he is stuck in the leg with a pitchfork by the landlord’s daughter, Shannon. He is locked up in a spare bedroom. It is here that Shannon tells Joseph of land that is being given away in the Oklahoma Territory of America. She too wants to escape Ireland and go to modernized America. During a duel with The Christie’s manager, Stephen, he and Shannon escape and ride off, despite their bickering differences to catch a boat leaving to go to America. When they arrive at Boston Harbor in Massachusetts around 1893, Shannon looses her valuable possessions. In a strange place without any money, he and Shannon go to a local Irish club. In this club, Joseph, as well as the club owner, discovers his talent for boxing and offers them housing and jobs. Shannon and Joseph live in a ratty hotel for a few months, saving the money that he earns boxing and she earns at a chicken factory to eventually move west into the Oklahoma Territory. To protect her he says she is his sister. He is quickly recognized as a brilliant fighter and eligible bachelor making a lot of money, but when he looses one fight, he and Shannon are shunned from the community and striped of their belongings. On the verge of starvation and freezing, the pair is forced to break into a house where Shannon gets shot in the shoulder. He and Shannon are separated when Shannon’s family comes to America to find their daughter after their house had been burned down by revolting tenant farmers. He takes her to her family, where they have been searching for her. Time goes on, and Joseph tries to forget about Shannon as he begins work building the Trans-Continental Railroad. On his journey, Joseph remembers…

    The assignment is based on solar energy and the title is “Solar Energy: and infinite resource meeting our infinite demand.” Firstly, solar energy is then introduced where it states that the energy radiated from sun is the solar energy which is essential for Earth. The aspects to be covered and the motivation for choosing solar energy are then explained. Pictures of solar cells are provided to have a better view of how solar power is generated. In addition, the importance of solar power is explained which says that solar energy is important to nature as it is the power source of life and a clean energy as it helps to keep the environment green. Secondly, the process of generating solar power from solar energy is explained with the help of a diagram. Next, real life examples of how solar power is harnessed in different countries are given. The examples are described in details and the use of solar power in Germany and Bangladesh is highlighted. Then, a table is included which represents the largest photovoltaic power stations around the world. After that, some plans of using solar power in future are given in details. It further talks about the future of solar power in Bangladesh and India. Finally, the assignment is concluded with the thought that solar energy is a renewable resource which when used causes no pollution and for this reason, the world is watching that solar energy is not only capable of saving electricity but also it has many offerings that goes beyond what most people think.…

    A solar car is an electric vehicle powered by solar energy. This is the result obtained from solar panels on the surface (usually the top) of the vehicle. Photovoltaic cells integrated into the panels convert the sun's energy directly into electrical energy, electricity is captured and then stored in batteries that power the electric motor of the car. Electrical systems and electronic control the operation from capture to storage of solar energy received."In 1982, the Australian Hans Tholstrup built the" Quiet Achiever ", a vehicle powered by electricity supplied by photovoltaic cells which could reach a speed of 60km / h. In 1983, he crossed with his experimental vehicle in 20 days Australia (Perth to Sydney is 4129 km). He then imagines an international competition "World Solar Challenge with the aim to travel as quickly as possible 3000 km from Darwin to Adelaide using only solar energy," 1 °The first departure was given on 1 November 1987 to first 23 participants from seven different countries that are parties to Darwin. The runaway winner was Sunrayce General Motors. This car, built by the combined talents of GM and its subsidiaries (including Hughes Aircraft Corporation and AEROVIRONMENT) has completed the challenge 3.000 km in just 44 hours and averaged 80.9 km / h.The competition has since become an international reference and an expected event. Indeed, since its inception in has a dozen races in the world solar car:"Since 1987: The World Solar Challenge in Australia.Since 1989: The American Tour de Sol "in the United States.Since 1990: The "Sunrayce USA", which later became the "Formula Sun Grand Prix and now the" North American Solar Challenge.Since 1992: The "Grand Solar Challenge" in Japan.Since 1993: "World Solar Rally car" in Akita in Japan and here, too.The Dream Cup Suzuka in Japan.The "Dell-Winston School Solar Car Challenge, USA.1996: The "Canadian Solar Discovery Challenge.In 2004: "Phaethon 2004" for the Athens Olympics in Greece.European Solar…
