...an elaborate explanation of the birth of a star stretched out into an array of words. The "Red Giant"a dying star in it's last stages of evolution, Is the star that will soon be replaced towards the end of the poem concluding a new star. The title Super Nova meaning a star is born contributes to the readers understanding because it is the "symbol" Object or action that means more than it's literally meaning, of the poem and the whole meaning of it really. The author Udiah I don't think is speaking directly, I think the poem is in third person and he makes it seem as if the planets are telling the story themselves or some foreign force. The situation in the poem is the amount of force in outer space that it takes for an old star to die and new one to come about. Although the poem is very vast and interesting there are some references that need explaining such as how the birth of a star happens exactly, I don't think an average reader would understand necessarily the science behind it. Some of the words I looked up helped me find better meaning in the poem, Nuclear Fission a nuclear reaction of a radioactive decay process in which the nucleus of a particle splits into smaller parts. This particular word is used at the beginning of the poem, means to me that the red giant has exhausted it's supply of hydrogen and can no longer hold it all in anymore, there forth letting go. The poem develops on an Idea, an idea of a new born star. I think that Udiah must have some interest...

...“Star Light, Star Bright, Where are you now?” As I was reading the article, I was surprised to know that there was such thing as “light pollution”. It was rare for me to hear this kind of pollution. The cause of this kind of pollution is too much light directed toward the sky. I even wonder at times when I look up unto the skies and see no stars at all. I didn’t realize that this was because of light pollution. It was because of this article that I’ve learned a lot about light pollution. The presence of light pollution makes it impossible for us to see the stars, because there are way too many artificial lights that brighten up the night. Few of the causes of light pollution are: bright lights from homes and buildings, light from vehicles, street light that have a shape of a cylinder, and billboards lit form the bottom. Starless nights may not be a big problem for us, ordinary people, but for astronomers who study the heavenly bodies, this is already a huge problem. Even with the use of telescopes, the glare of the light may still affect their observations which results into inaccurate results. Astronomers are not the only ones affected by this pollution. Even the nocturnal animals are affected too. Light pollution could ruin their natural habitat and overall behavior. There are ways to reduce the effect of light pollution, and this is through the use of: Light with timers, Motion-sensor lighting, and Full...

...Universe Works In this video, we were treated to a visionary description of how the solar system and planets were formed. The producer and director of this feature did an excellent job in explaining and depicting the theory of how our solar system was formed billions of years ago. As an amateur astronomer, I truly appreciated the detailed facts because they were easy to follow; there was not a lot of scientific mumbo-jumbo that only astronomy professionals could understand. My favorite element about this documentary was that there was such detail and color in the graphics that I felt like I was actually in space, close enough to the stars and planets. The images of the Eagle nebula and the Horse head nebula were remarkable; the image from the Hubble telescope of the Orion nebula with the spinning disk of dust and debris spinning around a young star was so extraordinary. It blew my mind how that tiny image was indicating that a solar system was being born. The only thing that left me a little perturbed was the narrative about how eventually Earth will collide with another planet and it will be the end of humankind as we know it. I understand that it is a cycle and obviously our solar system was created by the resulting violent chaos from billions of year ago, so it is likely that in the future, Earth will be destroyed in the same way. It was just a little scary and depressing to hear that in the film and then see a powerful simulation of a planet crashing into Earth. However...

...brightest appearing stars in the sky would give you a biased luminosity scale and an unrepresentative sample of stars. -The stellar parallax measures the relative distances from stars to different positions of the Earth in order to measure luminosity. It is done by using distant stars as a fixed reference system so that if a star is observed in respect to the distant stars today, and then measured again in six months, a small shift in movement will be recorded. It is absolutely necessary for there to be “distant stars” or less bright stars as a frame of reference otherwise the angle measurements would have nothing to compare against. Thus, it creates a biased scale of recorded luminosity. 2. Explain the overall concept of pressure support (against gravity) in stars and why stars are unstable if they are not generating energy in their cores. -The concept of pressure support can be explained through the internal gas pressure. The internal gas pressure is attempting to expand and dissipate our ball of gas, while the self-gravity of the gas (due to its mass) is trying to collapse the ball. As the gas gets hotter, the internal gas pressure increases. Then, it reaches a point of stabilization between gravity and pressure support. -Stars are unstable if they are not generating energy in their cores because the energy generation prevents the collapse of the star. Energy generation is occurring in its core, and this provides gas pressure which prevents collapse of the star. Thus, if the...

...Life Cycle of Stars The Birth of a Star In space, there exists huge clouds of gas and dust. These clouds consist of hydrogen and helium, and are the birthplaces of new stars. Gravity causes these clouds to shrink and become warmer. The body starts to collapse under its own gravity, and the temperature inside rises. After the temperature reaches several thousand degrees, the hydrogen molecules are ionized (electrons are stripped from them), and they become single protons. The contraction of the gas and the rise in temperature continue until the temperature of the star reaches about 10,000,000 degrees Celsius (18,000,000 degrees Fahrenheit). At this point, nuclear fusion occurs in a process called proton-proton reaction. Briefly, proton-proton reaction is when four protons join together and two are converted into neutrons; an 4He nucleus is formed. During this process, some matter is lost and converted to energy as dictated by Einstein's equation. At this point, the star stops collapsing because the outward force of heat balances the gravity. The Hydrogen Burning Stage The proton-proton reaction occurs during a period called the hydrogen-burning state, and its length depends on the star's weight. In heavy stars, the great amount of weight puts a large amount of pressure on the core, raising the temperature and speeding up the fusion process. These heavy stars are very bright, but only live for a short amount of time. After the energy from this deuteron-hydrogen fusion process...

...A Star is Born Stars are quite possibly the oldest, molecule possessing organism in the vast universe that harbors all infinite existence. The oldest star discovered is an estimated 13.2 billion years old (Stetson). How stars have come to exist was once as unknown as what they are comprised of. To find out how this cosmic, infinite universe came into existence, astronomers must first bring everything down to a more basic, molecular, atomic level. A star’s life is started as a collapsing cloud of hydrogen; helium and some other elements are pulled inwards by its own gravity, forming a core. Through nuclear fusion, most of the hydrogen is converted into helium and this is what keeps the star constantly burning for billions and billions of years. A star’s internal pressure is what keeps it from collapsing under its own massive gravity. However, if a star becomes too massive, and the internal pressure can no longer support itself, the star will collapse, receding into a black hole. Until recently, astronomers had observed that there were young stars in the universe, but had never quite exactly understood how they entered into our realm of existence, until now. The Herschel space telescope was launched on May 14, 2009 and is the largest, post powerful infrared telescope in space, to our knowledge. In 2010, Herschel made two unrelated discoveries that were equally as astounding to astronomers. The first challenged our previous beliefs about star birth and the second provided a backbone...

...organisation I have chosen to evaluate the effectiveness on their use of techniques in marketing products is boots. The product I researched on was Rimmel London eyeliner which was from boots. There was a range of marketing techniques they have used. They have advertised the product on television and also the internet (YouTube). When it comes to advertisements Rimmel exaggerated eyeliner got over fifty seven thousand two hundred and fifty eight views. The customer reviews that were received for Rimmel London ‘’exaggerate eye liner’’ was last year in 2012(11 November). They only got six reviews; out of six people four people rated it five stars; one person rated three stars and one person rated it one star. However, from March to October 2013 they have got 101 views mostly giving back positive feedback. Also forty-four people gave a star rating of four point five and five. This has had a major effect over time because before Rimmel London wasn’t that recognised and now the views and ratings have rapidly increased. Furthermore, Boots have used a market relationship technique. For example if you buy the Rimmel London exaggerated eye liner you can now get the second one half the price. Another offer which you can get is when you spend ten pounds or more on any product that belongs to Rimmel London you can retrieve a free gift which is Rimmel London scandalize mascara that is worth six pounds ninety nine.

...Here comes to the end of my internship. I found these three months were tough yet remarkable and valuable. Firstly, for the overall feedback on the hotel, I found that all employees in InterContinental Hong Kong are attached to their own departments. All the employees no matter back officers or the one who serves and meets guest everyday will actually bring hotel the most benefits in terms of revenue and reputation. They have the equivalent aim of maintaining the hotel as the top five-star hotel in the world. In another point, although working in the hospitality industry is quite tough and hard, people in InterContinental Hong Kong always feel passionate about their job and always come with the warmest smile to both colleagues and guest. As I observed, the peer influence play an important role among employees. Take my department as an example; all the colleagues will act like family and friends to finish their work as soon as possible. They will also ease each other’s tension during busy slot. According to my observation, the management style in ichk is participative style. The participative style allows input of ideas from everybody. However, the aim and standard are still clear. It will be very effective when a group of employees are working together and the colleagues involved have enough experience. Moreover, the working environment is also essential that it can more or less encourage the colleagues to voice out opinions in different point of views. During the trainees’...

...Introduction: The Roaring Dragon Hotel is a three-star hotel that is located in the southwest part of China. Since the 1980’s the state-owned-enterprise has enjoyed a long colorful history and reputation as on of the regions premium hotels. The at the office which is in another city. On average Mr. Wen shows up at the hotel once a month. In 2002 he decided that it was time to expand their hotel and make the jump to a five star hotel. Wen hired a consulting company to conduct an evaluation of his hotel from top to bottom. Everything from the service to the procedures was included in the evaluation. He also wanted to make sure that his employees would be able to make the jump to a premium hotel. The results of the evaluation were shocking to Mr. Wen. The results showed that his staff was lazy and incompetent. There was no way that he would be able to make the transition to a five star hotel without firing most of the six-hundred employees or spending a large amount on re-training the existing ones. It was found that employees were reading newspapers, drinking tea, conducting personal business and even leaving the premises while on the clock. Background: Roaring Dragon Hotel with long colorful history needed change since the market economy was slowly developing in the region and so they need competitiveness to compete with other local hotels and also with international hotels. They need new paradigm and new practices and mind set. It is the big change from...

...possibly have other life forms. This could answer so many questions that humans have always had about space and what every human speculates through life. With all the money we blow on nonsense things or the money we blow that actually destroys our planet this would be a much better cause to spend money on. Spending money on new telescopes like the Kepler telescope, it can go into space and take pictures a lot closer. The only way we can find out if there are new planets like ours, we have to have equipment like the Kepler telescope this telescope can see things that others can’t. Just like in our power point we can’t see other planets that might already be here or are forming due to how bright the stars are that are near it with the distance. We have to wait for the planet to orbit that star and create a black shadow in order to see it. We wouldn’t know things like this unless we have the funds for it. There are so many reasons to spend money on space exploration. We get to see how a human body can with stand the space environment like the astronauts that are in space now. We also get to investigate other planets and this could lead to so much more discoveries. We could find out about new materials, maybe even new medicine, and even new ways to improve our own environment like having cleaner water or growing more food etc. The benefits could be...

...SOGO: A FRESHMAN'S ARCHITECTURAL CRITIQUE 03/11/2014 0 COMMENTS The hotel industry is one growing business in the Philippines, among others. It was made, primarily, to provide accommodations, shelter, food and other services to tourists and travellers. Eventually, hotels have adapted to the progression of society, adding new features and functions to attract more customers, yet, in recent times, hotels have started to become different than usual, changing its function into something very sensitive. Hotel Sogo serves as an example. Hotel Sogo is a four-star hotel that was established in 1992. Today, it has a total of 32 branches nationwide, but the critique will focus on the North Edsa branch. The Hotel Sogo - North EDSA Branch is located behind Trinoma Mall. Standing beside many commercial establishments an MRT Station, and a major road, the Red-colored building catches the attention of many. Its facade is boxy, simple and plain. It was colored mainly in red, with accents of yellow, probably to attract more attention. Assuming that a viewer is standing a few meters from its facade, having the chance to view the whole building will be difficult because of many telephone and electric wires and the MRT tracks obstructing the view from that point. At the left of the facade is a driveway that leads to the basement parking. The entrance also served as the exit way, which makes it difficult for cars going down to go up if another car is moving out. The parking had...
