...The midnight sun is a natural phenomenon occurring in summer months at places north of the Arctic Circle and south of the Antarctic Circle where the sun remains visible at the local midnight. Around the solstice (June 21 in the north and December 21 in the south) and given fair weather the sun is visible for the full 24 hours. The number of days per year with potential midnight sun increases the farther towards either pole one goes. Although approximately defined by the polar circles, in practice midnight sun can be seen as much as 90 km outside the polar circle, as described below, and the exact latitudes of the farthest reaches of midnight sun depend on topography and vary slightly year-to-year. There are no permanent human settlements south of the Antarctic Circle, so the countries and territories whose populations experience it are limited to the ones crossed by the Arctic Circle, e.g. Canada (Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut), Denmark (Greenland), Finland, Sápmi, Norway, Russia, Sweden, the United States (Alaska), and extremities of Iceland. A quarter of Finland's territory lies north of the Arctic Circle and at the country's northernmost point the sun does not set at all for 60 days during summer. In Svalbard, Norway, the northernmost inhabited region of Europe, there is no sunset from approximately 19 April to 23 August. The extreme sites are the poles where the sun can be continuously visible for a half year. The opposite phenomenon, polar night, occurs...

Somers and his colleagues have been working for a decade to show that sleep apnea is to blame. 1. If you take an aspirin or a baby aspirin once a day, take it at night. The reason: Aspirin has a 24-hour "half-life"; therefore, if most heart attacks happen in the wee hours of the morning, the Aspirin would be strongest in your system. 2.

...Review Questions Name _________________ Answer the following questions (you may use MS Project Help): 1) What are the three base calendars included in MS Project and what are the default values of each? The three base calendars are Standard, Night Shift, and 24 Hours. Standard default values is all week days from 8 AM to 12 PM then 1 PM to 5 PM. Night Shift is All week days from 12 AM to 3 AM, 4 AM to 8 AM, and 11 PM to 12 AM. Plus Saturday from 12 AM to 3 AM, and 4 AM to 8 PM. 24 Hours is every day from 12 AM to 12 AM. 2) What is the difference between a base calendar and a resource calendar? A bade calendar is for everyone to use while a resource calendar is only for that resource that was assigned to. 3) Why schedule one project meeting after completion of the last task, Test System? Since we were working out the work days in the schedule, it lower the finish date on the project. But since the last project meeting was set to this date it could not be changed. So when we delete it, the project days lower down. 4) Give an example of when you would assign a 24-hour calendar to a resource. When we need that resource to work every day in the given time we need them to. For example a securities guard. 5) If you were doing a senior project, what would be the base calendar you would use for students working on the project and what adjustments would you make to it? If I was working on a senior project there is no set time on when they...

A base calendar defines the usual working and nonworking times and days, and exceptions, such as holidays, for the project or for a group of resources. You can select any base calendar as the project calendar or as the basis for a resource calendar. You can also apply a base calendar to tasks as a task calendar. Resource calendars ensure that resources are scheduled only when they're available for work. They affect a specific resource or category of resources. 3) Why schedule one project meeting after completion of the last task, Test System? This would be a final meeting to discuss the success or failure of the system test. If the test was successful, then all team members can be released from the project and given expectations as to where they will be next. If the test was a failure, the team meeting will allow discussion on how to proceed to address...

...The clock is a centerpiece, located in the circus, and is very ornate and imposing: “At first glance it is simply a clock… Well, crafted, obviously… but just a clock. But that is before it is wound… Then, then it becomes something else" (Morgenstern 88). During midday, the clock is white and enclosed, but as the day goes by, it gradually unfolds into an ornate and imposing masterpiece by midnight. Then it begins to close again, signaling the end of the circus. The clock is used to add surrealness to the circus but is also serves as a countdown to the inevitable end to the circus. The circus was created to serve as an arena for Celia and Marcus’s competition, and like all things, it must end. The clock also represents Marco’s life, similar to the bonfire. As the clock transforms from day to night to day, the colors of the fire change, representing changes in Marco’s life. As the reader can tell, the clock is very important as a timepiece and symbol. The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern is full of objects of symbolism. I found meaning in the bonfire, Celia’s ring, as well as the clock. There was lots of meaning to be found throughout...

...this question; your answer would be the Sun. Now your answer to the question is correct but, aside from the Sun, the Moon is also the brightest and most noticeable object in our sky. The Moon is Earth’s only natural satellite. The Moon is a roughly spherical, rocky body that orbits the Earth and its diameter is about one-fourth Earth’s diameter (“Moon”). This object does more than orbits the Earth and light up the night sky. The Moon goes through a lunar phase, cause eclipses, and has a strong effect on Earth’s tides, but before the Moon could do this it had to be formed. How did our Moon form? There is a strong hypothesis suggests that it formed as the result...

...THE CREATION by: James Weldon Johnson (1871-1938) ND God stepped out on space, And He looked around and said, "I'm lonely -- I'll make me a world." And far as the eye of God could see Darkness covered everything, Blacker than a hundred midnights Down in a cypress swamp. Then God smiled, And the light broke, And the darkness rolled up on one side, And the light stood shining on the other, And God said, "That's good!" Then God reached out and took the light in His hands, And God rolled the light around in His hands Until He made the sun; And He set that sun a-blazing in the heavens. And the light that was left from making the sun God gathered it up in a shining ball And flung it against the darkness, Spangling the night with the moon and stars. Then down between The darkness and the light He hurled the world; And God said, "That's good!" Then God himself stepped down -- And the sun was on His right hand, And the moon was on His left; The stars were clustered about His head, And the earth was under His feet. And God walked, and where He trod His footsteps hollowed the valleys out And bulged the mountains up. Then He stopped and looked and saw That the earth was hot and barren. So God stepped over to the edge of the world And He spat out the seven seas; He batted His eyes, and the lightnings flashed; He clapped His hands, and the thunders rolled; And the waters above the earth came down, The cooling waters came down. Then...

...Semoria Doss Professor Dianne Bunch English 111 5th November 2015 My Happy Place: The Beach Every time I am at the beach, I am amazed even more than I was the first time. The beauty will never fade away. For over an hour each day, after school, I was really content. Cassie, my Schnauzer mix puppy and I would go to the beach, my happy place. We would just sit and stare at the sun while it set and enjoy our dinner. It was the most perfect and beautiful place ever. It was peaceful, tranquil, and calm. The sky was a nice combination of orange, purple, and blue shades. It drowned in the big, wide horizon with its golden rays glistening in the darkness like glitter. The clouds were fading from a shade of white to pale grey to black. The moon was illuminating, while peeking through the trees as the sun was descending. The clouds held the promise of a peaceful night. In the far left of the sky, there sat the big golden sun, slowly departing the sky to go behind the trees until it wasn’t able to be seen anymore. At that moment, it did not matter how upset or sad, or even depressed I was I was able to be at peace. Usually, I go to the beach barefoot and feel the sand come up between my toes and tickle my feet. I would bend down and touch the rough, rocky pavement as I walked Cassie. We would feel the wind gently wrap around our bodies and console us, taking us away from our troubles into our own personal paradise. We would be feeling extremely warm and cozy, scared to depart from...

...happened to pass near our sun, and drew off clouds of gases which then formed themselves into planets. This is the planetesimal group of theories. Astronomers are well aware of the fact that stars do not wander around through space, but that is how the theory went.. The other main viewpoint is that a swirling cloud of gas formed itself into our sun, planets, moons, comets, and asteroids. By 1940, all the various encounter or planetesimal theories had pretty much been discarded as hopeless, but, beginning in that decade, under the urging of *von Weizsacker, *Whipple, *Spitzer, *Urey, *Garnow, *Hoyle, *Kuiper, and others, an attempt has been made to bring astronomers back to some variation of the nebular (gas cloud) hypothesis. Their efforts have been surprisingly successful, in spite of the obvious physical principle that gas in outer space (as well as here on earth) never coagulates; it always spreads outward. Let us consider some of the major reasons the various theories of the origin of our solar system are more foolishness than fact. 1-Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun and the eighth largest. Mercury is smaller in diameter than Ganymede and Titan but more massive. 2-Venus is the second planet from the Sun and the sixth largest. Venus' orbit is the most nearly circular of that of any planet, with an eccentricity of less than 1%. 3-Earth is the third planet from the Sun and the fifth largest: 4-Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun and the seventh largest: ...

...Columbine with blossoms of moonlight. He daubs his face with moonlight, and the moon washes clothes made of moonbeams. A 'Valse de Chopin' evokes a drop of blood on to the lips of a consumptive. Perrot presents his verses to the Madonna "of all sorrows", and the poet is crucified on his verses. The moon is pale with lovesickness. Part two, are morbid and violent. Night descends when the wings of a giant moth eclipses the sun. Pierrot becomes a blasphemer and a grave-robber whose life will end on the gallows, though between-times he sees the moon as a scimitar that will decapitate him. Last part, is homesickness. The nostalgia for the 'Italian Pantomine of cold', and eventual homecoming to Bergamo from, it seems, Venice, since the penultimate piece is a barcarolle, and since a moonbeam is the rudder of Pierrot's water-lily conveyance. Enacting bygone grotesquence and rogueries, he drills a pipe bowl through the gleaming skull of Cassander, fills it with Turkish tobacco, inserts a cherry pipe stem in the polished surface, and puffs away. He interrupts his midnight serenade to scrape the instrument's bow across Cassander's bald pate. Then, discovering a white spot in the collar of his black jacket, he tries to rub it out, thinking it a fleck plaster, only to discover, in the light of dawn that it was the moon. In the final piece, the poet invoking the fragance of a world long past attains...

...in space. Theories of gravity and space dramatically changed the views in which Individuals determine the origins of our Moon and other planets within our Solar System. As science and technologies progress, ideas of formations and motions in space provides more educated theories of how our world, or universe has formed and will continue to function. The Earth was formed about five billion years ago and is the earliest material in the solar system, which a solar nebula that collapsed from the formation of the sun ("How Did the Earth Form", 2012). Dust and gas from the solar nebula took about millions of years to form into the earth starting with center of the Earth to cool down and form a crust that allowed water to accumulate. The accumulation of water formed the oceans, which produced water vapor from asteroids and planets that collided with earth to form the atmosphere from gases and volcano activity. The best hypothesis in the “evolution of the Sun” is the nebula hypothesis. The hypothesis explains the formation of our solar system in four stages: Nebula gravity pulled the gas together,...
