The memory of 126 Riverside Drive will always stay with me. The concrete in front of the apartment overlooking the park is separated into squares and covered in old gum and the occasional chalk doodle. You go up and stand on the single black concrete step and look up at the black marble and the silver 126. You walk in the clear glass door and walk onto the faded tile floor that goes from the bottom of the few lonely stairs through the next door and to the elevator. You feel the cold from the…

Endurance is something one strives for, something that is powerful, and something painful yet rewarding. Striving for greatness through never giving up on the task at hand, no matter the challenge, is a remarkable skill. Power is channeled through endurance when one practices patience. The best rewards come to those who have endured the pain of a timeless activity. Endurance is shown not only in one 's daily routine but also as in the hobbies one participates in. Sitting high on the top-level…

Deeper Than an Advertisement For hundreds of years, the business of deforestation has been booming. At the same time, it has catastrophic effects on the environment. According to conserve-energy-future.com, since approximately one and a half acres of forests and jungles are being chopped down every second, it is estimated we will have no forests left within the next hundred years or so. As a result of having our forests die, our wildlife population dies alongside with it. The website also…

Being a solider in the Military troop takes responsibility, respect, and strength. My Dad David Miller, was born in Indiana with his mother, father, and five other siblings. Soon after, when he was five years old , he went to Connecticut to later take on his dream.I chose my Dad not only because he was in the Military but because every day he continues to show me courage which I take into my daily life. Now at age fifty four he still talks about him in the Military and should have stayed in…

A few miles south of the outer rim of the Great Fall Forest, stands a gravel trail, lined with massive oak trees and dotted with boulders that wind through a long stretch of lush green grass, and ends at an isolated and forgotten village named Masonburge. Once a thriving, farming village, is now a place of destitute: due to years of warfare and daily raids, that has left its rich wheat fields, barren. Its previously reigning King, Aargau of the Royal Household of the Siganids, controlled…

to get a better grasp on what conditions affect solar panels and which ones are able to work best and most efficient. With the rise of popularity and technology of solar panels it’s important to understand which conditions affect the efficiency of the solar panel. The conditions tested on the solar panel were various applied resistances, power output between a flat solar panel and “fisheye” solar panel, incident light angle,and efficiency of each solar panel. The maximum power output was…

The used solar air collector is a single-glazed plate, we summarise the main components as follows:  A single transparent glass cover of dimensions 4 mm thick, transmits the heat flux to the absorber plate, ensures the reduction of thermal losses due to the heat exchange by convection and radiation and protects the absorber from the outside environment.  A thin copper absorber plate with a black chrome finish on it, which was 1.5 mm thick.  A polystyrene sheet with a thickness of 40 mm,…

Solar energy is a promising field for an efficient renewable energy source. However, for the time being solar energy isn’t as dependable as oil and other unrenewable sources, mainly because of the lack of efficiency in converting that sunlight into electricity in solar cells. In these past 10 years, there have been big improvements on the efficiency of solar cells, especially in thin film solar cells. Solar cells are devices that convert sunlight into electricity. The uses of solar cells may…

What's to know about that lonely planet on the far reaches of our solar system? More than you'd think. It turns out Pluto spits out a fair bit of news on the reg so listen up. Here are five things ignorant Earthlings don't know about the planet. 1. PLUTO IS COLDER THAN WE THINK AND WE DONT KNOW WHY The upper atmospheric temperature of the planet has been found to be much colder than any Earth-based studies have previously found. About 70 degrees Fahrenheit colder actually. That's news to a lot…
