...John Carter – An Astronomical Analysis Plot Summary: Following the death of John Carter, his nephew, Edgar Rice Burroughs attends his funeral to find that Carter has left him all his belongings as well as a small journal. Burroughs begins reading the journal to find that it is a diary with instructions. He finds out that in 1868, Colonel Powell tried to force Carter in joining the army to help fight and arrest Apache. However, Carter escapes and Powell begins chasing him before they are ambushed by Apache's men. This can be seen in the trailer attached when the two men are chased on horseback. They eventually hide in a cave where Carter, surprised by a Thern (a martian race which closely resembles humans), kills him. Carter inspects the body and finds a medallion which ultimately transports him to Mars, also known as Barsoon. Upon arriving on Mars, Carter finds that he has the ability to jump extraordinarily high and yields increased strength and speed due to the planets low gravity. Carter quickly becomes a prisoner shortly after to the Tharks (15 feet tall green martians), and discovers that Mars has been at war for thousands of years and is destroying the planet; the evil Zodangan led by Sab Than and the good Helium led by Tardos Mors. The Zodanga have recently received a special weapon from Thern leader Matai Shang and proposes that he will spare the lives of the Helium if he is to marry the princess, Dejah Thoris. However, Carter and Dejah have fallen in love...

...American popular culture – and Hollywood movies in particular – that had the most profound impact. However, as Nicholas Cull (2010: 438) has observed, the culture of the Cold War period was “not only […] a product of the politics of the era but also […] a front in the Cold War as real as that which divided Berlin, bisected Korea, or ran through the straits of Miami.” The ominous backdrop of Cold War politics had a clearly discernible effect on Hollywood, that had by 1950s become a global purveyor of entertainment and, along with that, American values.*4* As the world was increasingly seen to be locked in a cosmic struggle between good and evil, Hollywood movies gained a new sense of moral urgency and political self-consciousness. For example, High Noon, the 1952 “law-and-order” western by Fred Zinnemann provided an ongoing social commentary to Hollywood blacklisting and the prevailing culture of conformity, pitting a noble hero against the timid, morally bankrupt society (Whitfield 1996: 147–48).*5* Gary Cooper’s Oscar-winning role cast him as a stoic and solitary small-town marshal Will Kane who fails to secure the support of his fellow citizens against the band of returning criminals that he himself has previously saved the town from. When walking from door to door, trying to enlist people to stand up to bandits together with him, Kane is turned down by everybody and finally reaches the church where the sermon is being held. He then turns to townspeople collectively, asking for help...

...The Lake Poets The Rime of the Ancient Mariner Poem by Samuel Taylor Coleridge hone his craft. Troubled by debt, though, he left Cambridge in 1793 and enlisted in the 15th Dragoons, a British army regiment, under the alias Silas Tomkyn Comberbache. After being rescued by his brothers, Coleridge returned to Cambridge, but he left again, in 1794, without having earned a degree. That year, Coleridge met the author Robert Southey, and together they dreamed about establishing a utopian community in the Pennsylvania wilderness of America. Southey, however, backed out of the project, and their dream was never realized. notable quote “No man was ever yet a great poet, without being at the same time a profound philosopher.” fyi Did you know that Samuel Taylor Coleridge . . . • developed a fascination with the supernatural at age five? • was known as a brilliant and captivating conversationalist? • was the most influential literary critic of his day? • liked to write poetry while walking?

...The Scarlet Letter Study Guide Published in 1850, The Scarlet Letter is considered Nathaniel Hawthorne's most famous novel--and the first quintessentially American novel in style, theme, and language. Set in seventeenth-century Puritan Massachusetts, the novel centers around the travails of Hester Prynne, who gives birth to a daughter Pearl after an adulterous affair. Hawthorne's novel is concerned with the effects of the affair rather than the affair itself, using Hester's public shaming as a springboard to explore the lingering taboos of Puritan New England in contemporary society. The Scarlet Letter was an immediate success for a number of reasons. First and foremost, the United States was still a relatively new society, less than one hundred years old at the time of the novel’s publication. Indeed, still tied to Britain in its cultural formation, Hawthorne's novel offered a uniquely American style, language, set of characters, and--most importantly--a uniquely American central dilemma. Besides entertainment, then, Hawthorne's novel had the possibility of goading change, since it addressed a topic that was still relatively controversial, even taboo. Certainly Puritan values had eased somewhat by 1850, but not enough to make the novel completely welcome. It was to some degree a career-threatening decision to center his novel around an adulterous affair (but compare the plot of Fielding's Tom Jones). But Hawthorne was not concerned with a prurient affair here, though the novel’s...

...Photovoltaic Power Systems Compiled by Tracy Dahl Overview Photovoltaic (PV) technology converts one form of energy (sunlight) into another form of energy (electricity) using no moving parts, consuming no conventional fossil fuels, creating no pollution, and lasting for decades with very little maintenance. The use of a widely available and reasonably reliable fuel source—the sun—with no associated storage or transportation difficulties and no emissions makes this technology eminently practicable for powering remote scientific research platforms. Indeed, numerous examples of successfully deployed systems are already available. The completely scaleable nature of the technology also lends itself well to varying power requirements–from the smallest autonomous research platforms to infrastructure-based systems. This technology can be limited, however, by annual fluctuations in solar insolation, especially at extreme latitudes. Based on semiconductor technology, solar cells operate on the principle that electricity will flow between two semiconductors when they are put into contact with each other and exposed to light (photons). This phenomenon, known as the photovoltaic effect, was first discovered by Edmund Becquerel in 1839. Actual development of PV technology began in the 1950s and gained greater impetus through the NASA space program during the 1960s. Research continues today at national laboratories and within private industry, focusing on increasing conversion efficiencies...
