Lava lamp

The light began to flicker. She rotated to the light switch gently. Nobody was there. Maybe the light bulb is loose, she thought to herself. She pranced upon her bed, which was beneath the light, and tried to screw in the light bulb a bit more. there was nothing wrong with the light bulb. She tilted her head in confusion. Maybe it gave out, she convinced herself. Wait didn’t I just change it today? Her thoughts commenced to gallop wildly in her head. Suddenly, there was a deep chuckle in the…

Additionally, they consume less energy, making them a more efficient option. However, according to Seong-Rin Lim , a Korean environmental engineer, in his article “Potential Environmental Impacts from the Metals in Incandescent, Compact Fluorescent Lamp (CFL), and Light-Emitting Diode (LED) Bulbs,” LED and CFL bulbs contribute to the resource depletion of copper due to its high content. Many metals are used for the making of LED bulbs. Ling also mentions that “considerable resource depletion…

accumulating (Kroll). So not only is mercury bad for people and their health, but there is no way to get rid of it. When choosing a light bulb that is going to be all over a house, I would prefer one not streaming out with mercury. Compact fluorescent lamps will help people health wise and help the Earth by not letting out so much mercury, a greenhouse gas which increases global warming. More than 325,000 babies born each year are affected by mercury poisoning (Kroll); cutting back mercury…

EXERCISE 1 As Wenger and Potter (2015) assert, “stand-ups can serve several functions, so it’s important to know in advance what you’re trying to accomplish with an on-camera segment” (p. 284). Personally, I would need to prepare myself thoroughly and conduct some research of my own to learn more about the topic at hand. My goal as a reporter is to establish credibility on the subject and be able to project confidence to the audience (Wenger and Potter, 2015). According to Wenger and Potter…

Our Wasteful Habits We all need to take initiative in improving our environment by making small changes on our daily lives. Various natural resources are being destroyed daily, so that we can have a good life, but what people don’t acknowledge is that this waste will eventually damage the environment more than it is doing now. Therefore, we must make a difference by changing our wasteful habits before it is too late. Each individual is responsible for throwing away waste, such as cans, plastic…

horticultural lighting, including use in controlled environment research, lighting for tissue culture, and supplemental and photoperiod lighting for greenhouses” (Morrow). CFL and Incandescent lamps are currently being replaced by LED since “Current LED lamps are five times more efficient than incandescent lamps” and have “the ability to produce very high light levels with low radiant heat output when cooled properly, and the ability to maintain useful light output for years without…

For years people have been subjected to the idea that normal lighting or an incandescent light bulb. They have used them for so long that they do not want to switch over to the light emitting diode(LED) because the LED has a bigger initial cost. LED’s in the long term, save more money than the normal light bulb. Normal incandescent light bulbs use 60 watts of energy while the LED only uses six to eight. That is over seven times more efficient than the normal light bulb. On top of LED not using…

“What law, you ask, do I satisfy with what I say?”—The Unwritten Law The title heroine’s famous defense speech in lines 995-1005 of Antigone has prompted the view that the play is extremely enigmatic. It is a passage that has been read with astonishment and demands detailed explanation. In her speech, Antigone provides what appears to be a reason for her burying her brother Polynices against the orders of her uncle and King, Creon. Antigone claims, however, that she would not have deliberately…
