Illuminating a Walk November 14, 2106 Evening and another lonely walk has begun, intensified by the shadow of my mother's passing. At least it's good exercise – a positive thought. The road, over familiar, its quitetude contrasted by the humming of a nearby highway, the warm air elevating my mood ever so slightly. “Hi Blair” a child's voice! I felt my piqued ears point to somewhere in the dark. At once a friend, familiar and oh so welcoming, illuminated something inside. Dostoevsky…

The Nobbys lighthouse designed by Alexander Dawson was first lit in 1858 because of the prominent position at the entrance of the port and the crucial use of navigation. Nobbys light is also the third lighthouse constructed in NSW after the Macquarie light in 1818 and in the same year with the Hornby lighthouse. Before the establishment of the present lighthouse (1854), the first beacon was lit on this area (Signal Hill) in 1804 with a range of merely 7 kilometres. Later in 1821, an oil burning…

A Study to Determine Effects of Beach Sand Grain Size on Sea Turtle Nesting for Caretta caretta in Southwest Florida Kelly Bonkowski Florida Gulf Coast University 10/11/2015 Abstract The following is a proposal for a study that looks at sand grain effects on sea turtle nesting particularly of the species Caretta caretta (loggerhead sea turtle) in Southwest Florida.

Albert Einstein said, “No object can travel faster than the speed of light.” However, will the temperature change the brightness of light? The researcher will perform the test three different times. Each test will take one glow stick from the freezer, one from the refrigerator, one in boiling water, and one from the counter and break the glow stick to make it glow. The researcher will then time the length of time it takes for the glow stick to turn off. At the conclusion of the experiment, the…

because I have dyslexia and other kids thought it was funny when I would mess up reading out loud in class or when I wrote papers.

Abstract Inspired by the color tuning function of King Blade X (an electronic glow stick), this paper investigates different approaches of LED color tuning, including dim-to warm tuning, white color tuning, and full color tuning. This paper would go over their operating principles, advantage and withdraws, and potential applications. Introduction The interest to investigate LED color tuning originated from my King Blade. This is an electronic glow stick used in live concerts. One of its…

Throughout his work, Hemingway explores internal and existential conflicts in the characters he creates. Most of these conflicts arise due to the fact that the characters he writes about are currently fighting in a war, or have recently returned from battle. The chaotic and unsettling nature of the violence these men experience provokes and leaves unresolved important questions about the nature of life and death. Although the war and violence have caused irreversible damage for many, Hemingway…

The Fresnel lens was first invented by French physicist Augustine Fresnel and at first were a simple, beehive resembling contraption with a light source in the middle, but then it developed into something that mirrored a bull’s eye with a more powerful beam (Fresnel Lenses). The Michigan Lighthouse Conservancy went on to explain that the Fresnel lens was created for the sole purpose of installation within lighthouses. The efficiency and power of a Fresnel lens allowed its design to emit a source…

Another study has shown that taking electrical devices, like a cell phone, to bed during the night can affect sleeping patterns. The handheld devices emit a blue LED light that tricks the brain into staying awake longer. The brain produces a chemical hormone called melatonin that prepares the body for sleep. The light from the screen however throw a person’s internal clock off and make them stay awake. Why does the blue light keep people up? A study in 2002 found that light signals in our eyes…
