I was just thinking the other day: Everyone I know in the country is weird. At least for my town‚ which has no stoplights and one main intersection‚ we are a little strange‚ I think. We don’t get out much. We think running across the freeway is a thrill. I grew up playing in mud with frogs and snakes. Is that weird? I feel like my friends and I have had a somewhat difficult time in mixing with others. I almost feel like if I had lived in the city‚ I might understand more about other types of people

THE SOLAR SYSTEM T The Solar System consists of the Sun and the astronomical objects gravitationally bound in orbit around it‚ all of which formed from the collapse of a giant molecular cloud approximately 4.6 billion years ago. The vast majority of the system’s mass (well over 99%) is in the Sun. Of the many objects that orbit the Sun‚ most of the mass is contained within eight relatively solitary planets whose orbits are almost circular and lie within a nearly flat disc called the ecliptic

Climate change and tropical biodiversity: a new focus Brodie J.‚ Post E.‚ Laurance W. In this review article‚ Brodie et al. expose a different approach to looking at the effects of global climate change on tropical biodiversity. An abundant amount of literature does‚ in fact‚ address the direct effects of climate change on biodiversity in the tropics. Brodie et al. argue‚ however‚ that while these efforts are extremely important and notable for current and future conservation efforts‚ little

Anidolic Daylighting Systems and Solar Tubes Author: Beng Wee (Steward) Lim Email: stewardlim1@hotmail.com Until recently‚ the technology to redirect natural light into interior spaces did not exist and we have relied on electric lighting and windows. Using parabolic mirrors‚ Anidolic daylighting system not only manipulates the daylight into the space‚ it increases the daylight levels within the room despite the weather conditions and climate. The Anidolic Ceiling and Anidolic Zenithal Opening captures

first modern solar cell In 1954‚ the first modern silicon cells raised by Bell Labs‚ then it shown at the National Academic of Science meeting. Moreover‚ this kind of cell can make 6 percent efficiency. Then‚ the New York Time come up with that the cell would lead to a source of “Limitless energy of the sun”. In 1955‚ the Western Electric created very significant solar cell technologies. The technology start to use in makes solar cells. In 1957‚ the AT&T telecom company used the “solar battery”

GEOTHERMAL ENERGY Geothermal energy is one of the oldest sources of energy. It is simply using and reusing (reusable energy) heat from the inside of the earth. Most of the geothermal energy comes from magma‚ molten or partially molten rock. Which is why most geothermal resources come from regions where there are active volcanoes. Hot springs‚ geysers‚ pools of boiling mud‚ and fumaroles are the most easily exploited sources. The ancient Romans used hot springs to heat baths and homes‚ and
