...October 6, 2012 CRW150 - Introduction to Creative Writing - Class # 27071 Doris Patton Midterm Part 1: Creative Story The Stone Tower 1 “Can you get a clear shot Draz?” asked Tankus. “If he takes a step forward I can,” answered Draz. Daylight was disappearing in the forest as dusk began to set, but there was still enough light for the two friends to observe the movements of the tracker who had been silently tailing them for a good part of the day. “What kind of tracker is he?” said Tankus. “He looks like some kind of rat or something.” The tracker was hunched over now, trying to pick up their scent which he had lost several yards back in the brush. Skin like beaten old leather stretched over his long thin bones giving him a scare-crow like appearance, but it was the long, pointed nose set between black, beady eyes that made him look like a rat. He edged forward suddenly picking up their scent again. "Fwoooosh!" Draz’s laser arrow found its mark in the tracker’s temple. “Okay that’s cool,” said Tankus, “we know he’s been with us for several miles, so where do you suppose the rest of his entourage is? Where are the meat and the brains that sent out this dog?” “I don’t know,” said Draz, “I just hope we have enough fire power to keep them back. I don’t know how much more time Kalem needs to break into that old place.” Tankus raked his blonde goatee with his long nimble fingers, trying to add things up in his mind quickly. He was the planner of the group and...

...Download speed The first thing we’re going to take a look at when comparing Usenet vs Torrent, is the the download speed. With torrent (P2P) downloading, you need to rely on other persons to seed so you can download faster. Therefore your downloading speed will be restricted by the amount of seeders. If there are few seeders you’re going to download slower. With Usenet, your downloading speed isn’t restricted by the amount of seeders and lechers. There’s no restriction. The downloading speed in only limited by your broadband. So if you have a fast internet, you’re going to download movies and shows quick. Usenet speeds are as fast as the end users internet connection. File availability Usenet vs Torerent, which one have the best file availability? The first movies and songs appeared on Usenet even before the birth of Napster & BitTorrent. Even today, the majority of content from top site uploaders gets on Usenet first, and then spread to the P2P communities. This is the way online distribution works, and there is no indication that this will change any time soon. Content uploaded to Usenet have a close to definite lifespan. Therefore Usenet have a clear advantage over torrents in terms of file availability. Content on Usenet have a retention time of around 900 days and it’s still increasing. Files uploaded to BitTorrent relies on seeders, over time content on BitTorrent will die. Seed ratio How can we really compare Usenet vs Torrents, when Usenet don’t...

...CHAPTER ONE 1.0 INTRODUCTION Current trends in electric energy generation are moving towards the utilization of the environment friendly sources of energy, represented by the wind and solar energy ones as a supplementary energy resource. The solar based one is the more attractive because it is characterized by being free, incur no fuel cost, abundant, limits less, distributed all over the world, pollution free, and require little maintenance. Maximizing power output from a solar system is desirable to increase efficiency and in order to maximize power output from the solar panels, one need to keep the panels aligned with the sun. As such, a means of tracking the sun is required. Efficient collection of maximum solar irradiance (MSI) on a flat plate type photovoltaic solar panels or a cylindrical parabolic solar reflector requires adjustments of two parameters of the energy collecting surface namely the angle of Azimuth, and the angle of tilt, of the surface to be illuminated. As the elevation angle of the sun remains almost invariant in a month and varies little (latitude + 100) in a year, there is no need for automatic adjustment of the tilt angle. Everyday, the sun rises in the east, moves across the sky and sets in the west. If one could get a solar panel to turn and look at the sun all day hours, then it could receive the maximum amount of sunlight possible and convert it into the more useful energy (electricity). The current of the solar module is very sensitive...

...energy resources are not only limited but also the prime culprit for environmental pollution. Renewable energy resources are getting priorities in the whole world to lessen the dependency on conventional resources. Solar energy is rapidly gaining the focus as an important means of expanding renewable energy uses. Solar cells those convert sun's energy into electrical energy are costly and inefficient. Different mechanisms are applied to increase the efficiency of the solar cell to reduce the cost. Solar tracking system is the most appropriate technology to enhance the efficiency of the solar cells by tracking the sun. A microcontroller based design methodology of an automatic solar tracker is presented in this paper. Light dependent resistors are used as the sensors of the solar tracker. The designed tracker has precise control mechanism which will provide three ways of controlling system. A small prototype of solar tracking system is also constructed to implement the design methodology presented here. Index Terms:- MPPT I. INTRODUCTION Now a day’s electricity generation using solar mobile has been growing fast day today. In order to obtain solar energy as much as possible, the study of the efficiency for PV systems has attracted many researchers and engineers attention. In general, there are three methods to increase the efficiency of PV systems. The first method is to increase the generation efficiency of solar cells; the second one is related to the energy conversion system...

...8 – Day Tracker Essay When I started this assignment, I was telling everyone, “No way can I do this.” In the end, I think it was worth it. I started to realize that I need to work more on what I eat and how much I eat of it. When I was doing the tracker, I saw that I do not drink enough water and I don’t eat the vegetables that I should and I have a little too much dairy, or meat. I think because milk is my favorite drink, I like to drink more of it then apple juice or orange juice. When I eat, I tend to eat when I am done with my school work, or when I am watching T.V. I have the habit of eating when I feel my body needs it, not when its time. I found out that I eat when I am bored because I don’t eat enough at meal times. I make sure that I eat, just not at the right time and not in the right portions. When I was working on my physical part of the tracker, I found that I am active for most of the day. Whether it being at school, or doing outside activities with family, friends or neighbors. I am not the best person to ask to go on walks. For the tracker, I did spend some more time walking to see if I could handle it when I was eating when I was supposed to. I can, I just need to take it one step at a time. When I looked over my work, I saw that I worked a little harder on my goals when I was tracking them down. I realized that if I keep track of what I am doing and I look over what I did or eat, then I tend to work better the next time to bring up my health and my...

...According to the 2010 Dietary Guidelines my diet is very poor. The 2010 Dietary Guidelines recommendations relies on two overarching concepts (executive summary, 2011). One of the concepts is maintaining calorie balance over time to achieve and sustain a healthy weight. By doing this, it helps a person to achieve and maintain a healthy weight through continued attention to the calories they are consuming from the foods and beverages they are eating, and also being physically active. With my current diet, I’m taking in more calories that are recommended for my daily intake, and I’m also not burning them off from physical activity. I have reduced the amount of calories that I was taking in , by reducing sodas, ice cream, and fried foods at the...

...The science of nutrition goes beyond eating the proper foods. I have enjoyed this class more than any of the courses I have taken thus far. Making sure we have the proper nutrition is a life changing event. We have to incorporate everything we have learned into our day to day living. I have to say that I enjoyed all the assignments that we were required to complete throughout the course. If I had to pick one, it would be the pyramid tracker. This gave us the opportunity to analyze the intake of food on a daily basis. We had to really dig down and be honest about the types of food we ate, the amount we were consuming, what type of exercises we participated in if any, and how long we did the exercises on a day to day basis. The thing I loved the most about this assignment is that we really had no choice but to be honest. Getting people to acknowledge their eating habits are not good and getting them to understand what is the proper nutritional requirements recommended by the health professionals is not easy. I learned so much about myself, and also how my decisions affected my family’s well-being. Since the assignment my family and myself have had a new respect for food and exercise. We switched from regular pasta to whole wheat pasta, we switched from regular white bread to whole wheat bread, we eat more fresh vegetables and fruit, and we take walks as a family. We all have noticed an increase in energy and how much more fun we have exercising together as a family. I have this...

...Check Point Understanding Food Labels Lisa Bryant SCI.241/Science of Nutrition August 16, 2013 Glenn Johnson My current eating habits are pretty simple. I have to always eat breakfast; I either eat a normal bowl size of raisin brain with about a cup of skim milk or stop by Burger King for two breakfast burritos with either tea or coffee. For lunch sometimes I either just snack around the office with popcorn or pretzels or whatever else my craving is for that day. However it’s usually something light, rather having something really heavy. Then for dinner I usually cook every night of the week which consists of one meat, vegetable, and a starch. When fixing my plate I usually get ½ a cup of each individual food. However even though I do place a little more than what I am supposed to eat on my plate, there are a lot of times where I don’t finish eating. I also have found myself not trying to eat any more food after I begin to feel full. When it came to the Super Tracker on what your body needs and then what they show what I had reordered, mine has been under on just about every single food group and nutrients. The refined grains are the only thing that was actually over that I had ate in those three days of my recording. As far as how many servings in each food group I ate in was also under as well. Grains in the three days I intake 6 ½ ounces, vegetables 2 ¼ cups, fruits I intake ½ cups, dairy was 1 ¼ cups, protein foods was 5 ounces, and oils I intake...

...Week One Assignment: 3 Day Diet Analysis SCI241 April 29, 2012 Week One Assignment: 3 Day Diet Analysis My current eating habits are not the greatest, to say the least. Instead of eating healthy for breakfast, such as oatmeal, fruit, and juice, I usually eat a couple of waffles doused with maple syrup and peanut butter. And I have a Pepsi. Lately I have been trying to eat yogurt with granola instead, but I also just realized that the granola is not helping me in the calorie situation. For lunch, if I am at work, I will usually order something from the cafeteria which almost always includes French fries. Sometimes I will order chicken strips, other times a French dip. Lately, I have been trying to bring leftovers from dinner to save money, and I am hoping that helps me a little bit in the calorie department. But again, I always have at least 20 oz. of soda with lunch. I have started bringing a water bottle with me to work so that I am not always relying on soda for my liquid. For dinner, a lot of the time I eat out, which I know the portions are always huge at restaurants, but I still eat it all anyways. I have tried cooking at home more often, which also (hopefully) saves some on calories. With dinner I usually have a couple cans of Pepsi. I have noticed lately that I am gaining weight also, which is very frustrating. I had been at a point that I was losing weight, and I think it is because I was not eating breakfast, and now I make sure that I do. Based...
