...This Little Light of Mine Marquel Calhoun Mrs.Lucky March 15, 2012 What does the song “This little light of mine” mean? The song “this little light of mine” is a source rom Matthew 5:16, "Let your light shine before men, they may see your fine works and give glory to your Father who is in the heaven. This is a gospel children’s song written by Harry Dixon Loes (1895-1965) in about 1920. “This little light of mine” inspired millions. People still sing the famous well-known song today and they don’t really have a clue what is means. “This Little Light of Mine” is a traditional Negro spiritual about the importance of unity in the face of adversity. The first spirituals were inspired by African music even if the tunes were not far from those of Christian hymns. Some of them, called “shouts,” were accompanied by dancing, hand clapping and foot tapping. Drawing on the Bible for inspiration and imagery, most spirituals instruct listeners in how to live with the Spirit of God. These songs often had multiple meanings. The literal interpretation reflected the personal relationship between the slave singer and God. However, the spirituals also translated to code for slaves looking to escape to the North to freedom. For example, as part of the spiritual’s lyrics, “home” can mean Heaven, but it covertly means a free country and haven for slaves. The refrain of “This Little Light of Mine” refers to the light inside each individual and how, whether standing up alone or joining...

... The first posts will be about what kind of gear you will need to do the minimalist strobe thing. When we are done having our way with your wallet (remembering that light gives you far more bangfor-the-buck than does fast glass or the latest digital camera or 300/2.8) we'll move into basic technique. And after that, we'll keep it going with periodical essays and ideas on how to improve (or refresh) your lighting ability. When you've worked your way through the basics of designing your light kit and learning how to use it, make a point to browse some of the examples in the "On Assignment" section. Those will be updated constantly, too. So keep checking back. You will likely have some questions along the way. Sadly, it is not possible for me to take the time to personally answer all of the one-to-one lighting questions that pop up. So try to resist asking them in the comments section. The only people reading this behind you are the people who are, well, behind you. You will find the one-to-one knowledge bank you seek in the Strobist Group on Flickr. There, you can ask away and get the diversity of response that you need. These are the lighting grad students, so to speak. They know this stuff, and are very enthusiastic about sharing their knowledge. Most of all, remember to have fun and learn to make some cool light. Two Things Your Flash Needs to Have To make use of the techniques described in the following lessons, we are going to assume a couple of things: 1) You have a strobe...

...on testing the rate of development of a plant utilizing distinctive light situations inside. Our theory is whether we utilize a glaring light then the plant development would be higher in quality (tallness and fitness) on the grounds that it supplies better supplemental light and the plant has a superior shot of survival contrasted with the brilliant light. The plant that is developed underneath a bright light has a more risk of survival on the grounds that glowing lights are excessively hot and can blaze the plant if to close. For this trial you would require two lights (little work area lights) and one bright light and one brilliant light. Additionally you would require three plants one to go under the glaring light and one to go under the glowing light and one to put in the sun to perceive how the plant would typically develop. The vital thing that you requirement for each plant is water which gives oxygen. To set this trial up everything you need is clean zone, for example, a table. Put two of the plants on the table and spread them out then set the light right beside them and have the light point towards that plant for the "daylight". Keep light on for 12 hours a day and check once/twice every week. Every plant began at the stature of 3cm and we developed then for 3 weeks. The plant that developed the most out of the three plants was the plant in the sun which grew 10 cm. The plants under the bright lights grew 1cm from the 1st week and grew 1.5 cm the following week.

...County, California shows a peaceful view of the river in the highlands of Mendocino County. Sato’s photo is a forest in Oregon with orbs of light glowing at the bottom of the forest floor. Both pictures have their similarities but also their differences as well. Carleton Watkins is perhaps the most famous early western photographer. He found international fame for his award winning photographs of Yosemite, San Francisco, the Pacific coast and subjects throughout the western states. Watkins is best known for his mammoth plate photographs but actually published the majority of his work as stereoviews. They represent a comprehensive look into California and the West from the 1860s through the 1890s (Watkins). In the late 1854 Watkins met photographer Robert Vance who had a gallery and began working for him and it was here that he learned the photographic techniques and processes that he would perfect during his career (Watkins). Watkins photograph of Mendocino River, from the Rancherie, Mendocino County, California is on Albumen silver print from wet-collodion glass negative. When viewing this in person it had that old and worn out look to it. But most of all the color still remained in pretty good shape. The image has a light sepia color to it. It has various shades of grey and black to sharpen the intensity of the trees. The sky is a very light grey with white which is caused from the mist or fog in...

...pinhole camera. I. Introduction A pinhole is exactly what it sounds like, a small hole made with a pin. Experiments with pinholes are useful because the way light travels through the hole is very similar to the way light travels through the eye. The pupil, the small black area in the center of the eye, acts similarly to the pinhole. It is small compared to the big things in the world you are looking at. The retina, the back part of the eye where special cells sense light and send signals to the brain via nerves, acts similarly to the screen in the camera. II. Pinhole Magnifier Materials: 20 Pinhole magnifiers (index card with a small hole punched in aluminum foil inserts) 20 Pieces of newspaper (in an envelope) A pinhole in an index card can act like a magnifying glass, helping your eye focus on an object that is very close to you. However, by limiting the amount of light that reaches your eye from the object, the pinhole also makes the object appear dimmer. Pass out a pinhole magnifier (index cards with a small hole punched in aluminum foil inserts) and piece of newspaper to each student. Use the pinhole magnifier to look at the text of the newspaper and notice that it appears larger. Now try making a pinhole magnifier with your fingers like this: [pic] The pinhole magnifier works on a very simple principle: The closer you get to an object, the bigger it looks to you. This is because the closer you are to the object, the larger the image the...

My “green light” in life is to create a future for myself that my parents weren’t able to create for themselves.

Ever since the Maidenform fantasy over twenty years ago. Here is a great example of sex in advertising. It showed women in their Maidenform bras and had different schemes to each one. Maidenform were showing that if they wore this bra and look sexy they could be successful in their jobs and get out of the house. Basically these ads made women feel sexy, and more confident about their bodies. Quit being just a housewife, which many of them were back then. It was now ?The Maidenform Women. You never know where she?ll turn up? (Moog 109). The Maidenform bra ads symbolized the exciting but frustrating longings of the past (Moog 109).

...Meaning and Origin of the Drops of Blessing Melek Metatron: Resolution of Vows und Promises from the Period of Avalon I Am Chamuel. I am bearer of the light. I am the cosmic grid, the great star tetrahedron of love. Chamuel greets each single one with the words OMAR TA SATT. It is a pleasure for Chamuel to convey the messages through the medium today. From the spiritual world it has been brought to you that there are many different frequencies in the universe. To name them all would not be possible here. But we have noticed that many human beings do not know the meaning of these different frequencies. Thus Chamuel has the task today to report about these frequencies, for each single frequency contains an energetic pattern which is transferred to you when you call a certain frequency. You will be brought the energy, and at the same time the energetic pattern of this frequency is laid in your Light Body. Chamuel does not speak of the individual masters or angels, but of certain frequency sections. Many human beings still know very little about it. Thus I would like to begin with the frequency of El'Shaddai. When you connect yourself with the frequency of El'Shaddai the energetic pattern of wisdom, power and also protection is laid in your Light Body. At the same time you are drawing these energies into your Light Body. When, for example, you are feeling weak, are not in your center, when you think you need protection, it is very helpful to connect yourself with the...

...Assignment 1.1: Industrialization after the Civil War Thesis and Outline Amiah-Mone Parker The Industrial Revolution was of great importance to the economic development of the United States. The new era of mass production kindled in the United States because of technological innovations, a patent system, new forms of factory corporations, a huge supply of natural resources, and foreign investment. The growth of large-scale industry in America had countless positive results, but also negative results as well. Industrialization after the Civil War affected the United States in several ways including poverty, poor labor laws, and the condition of the people. Between 1865 and 1920, Industrialization had many positive effects on society which caused change in people’s daily lives. The first major innovation that was beneficial was the new railroad system. Railroads out west played a huge part in the successful expansion of our country. Prior to the development of a more efficient railroad system, the movement of people and freight were slow, difficult, and cost efficient. Most goods had to be produced and provided locally on a small scale. As a result, prices for products were costly. Despite that, with the help of federal grants, railroad developers were able to build a more efficient railroad system that would connect the established east with the unsettled west. After the completion of the new railroads system, farmers were in practical distance...

...sleeping neighborhood of neat and tiny cottage homes. The branches seemed to be expertly woven together. The moon was full and fat but only small slivers of light slipped through the leaves. I stood as motionless as a statue on the corner, watching and listening for any other signs of life. The night air was so crisp and my senses so predatorily heightened that I felt sure I would be able to detect even the softest scent of another’s presence. I was alone and undetected, my natural state. I began to silently saunter down the little lane. I nonchalantly inspected the houses as I went, until I came upon the one that drew me in with that magnetic pull I had come to know and love so well. That feeling meant that that peace would soon be restored to my aching, raging mind. I knew that other voice inside of me would be silenced once I had carried out its orders once again. I cautiously crept around to the back of the home and immediately took note of the swing set in the yard. A small smile turned the corner of my lips up ever so slightly. This was the place. I looked across the back of the house, and couldn’t believe my good luck. No, not luck, destiny it must have been. Some force out there in the universe was as intent as I that my task be completed. At the corner of the little home I could see faint light through the window that must have been left open a crack to allow passage of the night breeze. I approached it cautiously, but I knew that fate was on my...

...been so easy and as effective as the fluorescent light bulb. Now what makes Fluorescent light bulbs so good? Is it the fact that your standard Incandescent light bulb is just so bad, or is there really something else to this bulb? I say its a little mixture of both. The standard 60 watt incandescent light bulb is what most house holds are using now. Little do they know about 90% of the power consumed by an incandescent light bulbs is emitted by heat rather then by visible light. For a few months out of the year this could be a great help during the bitter cold and trying to keep your house warm. But let’s flip the script and what about the summer. When you’re trying to keep your house cool. The bulb then is wasting energy by its self then making it warmer in your house which makes your air conditioning work harder. All said and done your wasting energy and money because of a simple light. And all this is said if only the bulbs make it a full year. Most Incandescent light bulbs typically have a lifespan of around 900 hours. To put that into perspective, you'll be able to turn the bulb on for around five hours per day for six months before the bulb will use up its lifespan. This means your buying more light bulbs which means spending more money, and in the summer a lot more energy. Larry West a professional editor and writer on environmental issues said. “If you want to change the world, start by changing a few light bulbs. It is one of the best things you can do...
