...potential of the middle class has increased tremendously and an ordinary middle income household earns roughly 60-90 thousand dollars in a year here in the United States of America (Census, 2007). With these stats in mind it’s hard to comprehend a family living without electricity all year throughout and earning a meager 2-5 dollars a day. At present there are 3 billion people in the world earning less than 5 dollars a day, and living without electricity. They rely on Biomass fuel and Wood for their energy needs, be it related to light or heat. The indoor air pollution resulting from this use of wood and biomass fuel claims approx. 1.5 million lives each year. The tackle the issue faced by these billion people, students and faculty of Colorado State University (CSU), college of Business and engineering, innovated the Starlight Stove, which is fuel efficient, reduces air pollution and also generates electricity that can be stored for future use or used to light a bulb. The Faculty and Students are wondering how to produce the stove at cheap price for the poor, and also generate enough revenue to sustain the product. The idea of micro financing looks feasible to them, though the ability to use microloans though a micro financing organization is a little tough as most of the population is poor and illiterate. According to MicrofinanceGateway.org, Most microcredit borrowers have microenterprises unsalaried, informal income generating activities. research suggests that only half or less...

...EVAN 101-B23 LUO 10/10/11 Methods of Evangelism Paper Part ONE - Evangelistic Method #1 The Four Spiritual Laws is an intellectual method of evangelism, which, as it’s title suggests, identifies four spiritual laws that direct an individual’s relationship with God. It was created by Dr. Bill Bright, founder of Campus Crusade for Christ, in 1952. The four laws, as sited on CampusCrusade.com, are: (1) God loves you and offers a wonderful plan for your life. (2) Man is sinful and separated from God. Therefore, he cannot know and experience God’s love and plan for his life. (3) Jesus Christ is God’s only provision for man’s sin. Through Him you can know and experience God’s love and plan for your life. (4) We must individually receive Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord; then we can know and experience God’s love and plan for our lives. An advantage of this method is that it begins with positive note, “God loves you and offers a wonderful plan for your life,” which may cause non-Christians to be more receptive to the message. Due to the fall and sin, mankind is at variance with God (Ephesians 2:13-16) and there may be a tendency to reject a message concerning God without ever hearing the message. However, starting with such a positive introduction may cause an individual to “lower his guards” so he can hear the Gospel. Another advantage of this approach is that it can be easily communicated in print form and makes for a useful tract, especially considering the positive...

...Fanny Brawne, Feminism and Bright Star. 1. Background: Historical view of Fanny Brawne 1. "A heartless flirt unworthy of a great poet": Fanny was historically painted as an insufferable flirt who cared nothing for Keats, using him for her own amusement while also "ruining" him. A. "an art-ful bad hearted Girl." (George Keats), "A cold and conventional mistress" (Joseph Severn), a "poor idle Thing of woman-kind" (John Hamilton Reynolds), "[she] was vain and shallow, she was almost a child; the gods denied her the ‘seeing eye,’ and made her unaware.” (Louise Imogen Guiney). Letters of a Critic and the publication of Keat's love letters. B. "To Fanny" used as argument for her "ruin" of the poet: Physician Nature! let my spirit blood! O ease my heart of verse and let me rest; [...] Who now, with greedy looks, eats up my feast? What stare outfaces now my silver moon! Ah! keep that hand unravished at the least; Let, let the amorous burn— But, prithee, do not turn The current of your heart from me so soon C. Vitriol levelled at Fanny similar to that seen towards the partner's of celebrities in modern days; compare to Dylan O'Brien and Britt Robertson. 2. "The unwed widow": The release of Fanny Brawne's letters to Fanny Keats from a private collection in 1939 led to a more sympathetic view of Fanny and her relationship with Keats. A. Sudden 180 led to very (overly)...

...Ashton Ben February 13, 2014 ENG 101 MWF 12 # 2 Profile My Island Escape Ever since I was a little kid I knew where I always dreamed of living. My dream home would be more than I could ever imagine. It would be on a bright and warm island. With the white sand all around me, bright from the glistening of the sun, to the feel of the breeze blowing up to the shore and the sound of the beautiful aqua blue waves. As I walk up to the house all I imagine to see is a big porch overlooking the island. I see a two story house with maybe 3 bedrooms or so, not too big. It should be rustic, in a light colored wood or a nice colored plaster, with big windows where I can sit on the windowsill and look out on the island. It will be bright with a light sense and feel to it. Sitting with crisp white rocking chairs so that every evening as the sun goes down I can lose myself in the calm sound of the waves. Where I can be evincible over anything and everything life throws at me. What will be light and cozy from the inside as if you were sitting in the sand, relaxing and not a care in the world about anything stressful. The living room will have huge windows overlooking the gorgeous blue water and will give the room a nice lightning in the day and when the evening comes there will be plenty of candles lit for the warmth feel in the room. With a built in couch all the way down the room so me and my little family could spend hours playing games. The kitchen is a very important room...

The whole room was bright in lighting and the curator had lights facing the portraits themselves. The lighting made the portraits stand out more to the viewers. All the paintings were mostly dark in color. Therefore, the lighting helped brighten up the paintings. The second room was filled with ancient mythologies and allegories. The room paint color was a dark red. The lighting of the room only reflected the paintings themselves. The lights weren’t to light up the room. The main focuses were the paintings. The people in the paintings were clothed in bright colors, such as oranges, reds, etc. The light hit the paintings to have it make the colors stand out more, creating a more beautiful nature of the paintings. Fabrics were on display in this room. For example, silks. The fabrics represented what he put in his paintings and how it resembled them. The third room displayed sacred paintings and paintings made especially for the church. The room color was grey. The lights were a little dimmer than the second room. The lights didn’t really shine as bright towards the paintings. Lights and fabrics themselves were darker in this room. The room gave off an eerie vibe. It also felt very gloomy.

...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.

...living. The Café is about 8 minutes away from my house. It was kind of cold when I came out from my house, so I went back home and grabbed my purple jacket. It was around 7:30 at night when I came out from house and got into my car. As I turned my car on, I heard a song called ‘Take a bow’ by Rihanna. I started singing along to the song and started heading towards the café. I asked one of my friends to meet me there. As I drove along the Michillinda Street I passed by a few cars and met up with Huntington drive. I stopped on the red light and was thinking about what to get when I got to Genki living. After I stopped at a red light I turned right onto Baldwin Street. As I got onto Baldwin Street I passed through so many bright vivid lights of many restaurants. After passing by the bright beam lights of the cars I got to small plaza. I crammed my car into a small parking space and got off from the car. When I got out from car I was welcomed with a bright red, white, and green neon sign. There are many restaurants surrounding the cafe. Few Chinese restaurants and yogurt shops are surrounding the Genki living. As I got to the entrance and through the glass walls I found my friend sitting under a tree that is inside the café. As I opened the glass door employees welcomed me with loud “hello”. I was happy to see my friend, so as soon as I got inside the café I yelled her name and hugged her really tight. It was her first time there so I introduced the manager of the café to her. My friend...

...Thomas Young and the Wave Nature of Light Historical Background Isaac Newton was famous not only for formulating the laws of motion but also for pioneering in the study of optics. He used a prism to show that sunlight was a mixture of the colors that make up the rainbow. In his Opticks (1704), Newton argued that light was made up of tiny particles. Slightly earlier, the Dutch physicist Christiaan Huygens wrote a Treatise on light, in which he proposed that light was a wave. It was only in 1789 that Thomas Young proposed a simple experiment that appeared to resolve the controversy by showing that light indeed behaves as a wave (according to 20th-century quantum mechanics, however, even Young’s wave description is incomplete). Young, a leading British natural philosopher, formulated an influential theory of color vision. He was also the first to decode the Egyptian hieroglyphics being brought to Europe by Napoleon’s troops. Although Newton and others had observed alternating patterns of bright and dark bands of light under certain circumstances, Young would be the first to explain these patterns, based on an analogy with water waves. Young used very simple equipment to produce patterns of light and dark bands: a candle and a card with a rectangular hole across which he stretched a single human hair. He used his observations to measure the wavelength of light. Notice that he was proposing that light is a wave and measuring its wavelength (something that cannot be directly observed...

...leaves. One of the main pigments in leaves is chlorophyll and it absorbs the red and blue light from sunlight that falls on leaves; hence, the leaves reflect the "green light" and that is why leaves appear to be green. The chlorophyll is part of a bigger structure called chloroplasts. Photosynthesis, a process in which plants transform solar energy into chemical energy, takes place in the chloroplast; furthermore, it is thanks to this chemical energy that plats produce seeds, grow and flower. However, chlorophyll is not a stable compound because sunlight causes it to decompose; hence, plants have to synthesize it continuously. Nevertheless, this "synthesis" requires sunlight and warm temperatures and that is the reason why it is scarce during autumn. Carotene is another pigment found in plants; it absorbs blue and blue-green light and hence the light reflected from it appears to be yellow. Carotene is found in the chloroplasts of many plants and when it is paired with chlorophyll both absorb many "lights" and therefore the plant looks green. The light carotene absorbs is transferred to chlorophyll which uses it during photosynthesis. This compound is a lot more stable than chlorophyll and it remains in the plant eve after chlorophyll is absent. At this point the plant appears to be yellow. Anthocyanins is pigment that absorbs blue, blue-green, and green light and the light reflected by it causes for the plant to look RED. Anthocyanins, unlike chlorophyll and carotene...

...The Treacherously Inspiring Lights of Los Angeles Los Angeles has always been deemed as a promising paradise that draws many people from across the world to come in order to fulfil their American dreams. Pulled by its delightful glittering lights, many have been lured to find their luck and fate in the city only to be betrayed in the end. People of varying age, gender, ethnicity or class are all heading to Los Angeles in the hope of making a better life for themselves and their families. The city of angels has at some point been considered as the foremost sensational destination for juvenile runaways. While all light show signs of promising hope of a better future, not all light turns out to be decent or upright. Many have achieved success in exchange of losing their morals. The lights of Los Angeles are treacherously inspiring. It entices people to do everything for wealth, success and fame sometimes at the expense of selling their soul to city. It light however remains dramatically nostalgic that kept people to stay or come back to home. Such was the case of the protagonist in William Faulkner’s short story, “Golden Land,” Ira unconsciously traded his morals, family and soul for worldly success in Hollywood. While he exhibited a sense of repulsion on the materialistic culture of Los Angeles, he was nevertheless a progeny of its mores. In this story, Faulkner showed how a man, who hailed from the conformist place like Nebraska, was altered by the “Golden Land” to become...

...in 1927. The painting was displayed for the first time on valentines day, and was sold for $1200. The picture depicts a young woman sitting alone in some kind of cafeteria. She is drinking a cup of coffee, while she’s staring at her hot drink. She is dressed in a long warm winter coat, and a hat pulled down on her head. On her left hand she is wearing a glove, while holding the coffee cup in the right. The painting method is oil on canvas. The colours in the painting are both dark and light, which makes the painting very cold. The background of the painting is the outside of the automat (a café with mechanical service) and is all black, and you can’t see what there is behind the large windows. In the windows you can only see the bright reflects of the lamps in the ceiling of the automat, which seems to be never ending the night. The inside of the cafeteria is being lightened by the bright lamps, which is the only light source in the painting. The light of the lamps is very harsh and bright and not cozy at all, which is typically for the type of lamps in automats. Because of Edwards colour choosing and the fact that the woman is hiding in a large green coat, indicates that the temperature inside the automat is low. The woman’s facial expression makes her look sad, because of her tightened mouth and her eyes staring down at the table. As she sits without companionship she looks a bit afraid, which might be the reason she is seated at the table nearest the door, so she quickly...
