One in three women are beaten or raped in their lifetime; that’s one billion women (United Nations). Some would say that is a pandemic. In Canada alone‚ more than 3000 women (along with 2500 children) are living in an emergency shelter to escape domestic violence. Each year‚ over 427‚000 women over the age of 15 reported they have been sexually assaulted. Since only about 10% of all sexual assaults are reported to the police‚ the actual number is much higher. You might be wondering what kind of people

Power Source Daniel Rochelle Com/156 10/4/2013 Jason MacLeod Power Source Can you believe there are 7.1 billion people on this earth. In the United States the average household uses 940 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per month. Right now‚ solar power is producing .7% of the world’s energy. That may not seem like much compared to nuclear power which is producing 13% of the world’s energy. Currently in the United States alone solar power is producing .11% of the energy consumed and nuclear is producing

Cost of building the plant and return on investment is fast compared to large hydro and hence would attract many private investors to invest. * Rehabilitation and resettlement which is the major concern

Solar power: In fact‚ every minute‚ enough energy arrives at the Earth to meet our demands for a whole year - if only we could harness it properly. The Delhi Metro came to a standstill yet again on Tuesday afternoon after services were suspended for two hours due to collapse of the Northern Power Grid for the second consecutive day‚ causing inconvenience to commuters. As the power grid collapsed at around 1 pm‚ Delhi Metro trains stopped on tracks‚ some inside tunnels‚ due to no supply of power

Soft power without hard power is no power. In the early 1990s‚ Joseph Nye’s book Bound to Lead: The Changing Nature Of American Power ignited a huge discussion among society of the need to transition from America’s traditional use of hard power to something more benign which he termed soft power. Before looking at the two branches of power‚ we first define power as the ability to do something or act in a certain way. As Nye had pointed out‚ nations can wield power in two forms‚ soft and hard power

Solar power is the conversion of sunlight into electricity. Sunlight can be converted directly into electricity using photovoltaics (PV)‚ or indirectly with concentrated solar power (CSP)‚ which normally focuses the sun’s energy to boil water which is then used to provide power. Other technologies also exist‚ such as Stirling engine dishes which use a Stirling cycle engine to power a generator. Photovoltaics were initially‚ and still are‚ used to power small and medium-sized applications‚ from the

SOLAR POWER IN TODAYS WORLD JEROME T. GARDNER COLUMBIA SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY ABSTRACT Since first discovered in the 1860s‚ the concept of storing energy from the sun to use as a source of power has been studied and pursued by many programs. Either using solar collectors or photovoltaic cells‚ the methods of using solar power are becoming more efficient and cost-effective. Solar technology is currently being used by homes and businesses‚ but is still too expensive and risky for many residents. Researchers
