freshmen students, I guess there would only be a handful of students who will enroll in ROTC. Why wake up as early as seven in the morning and miss your Sunday family-get-together in exchange for this? Why suffer the exposure of the intense heat of the sun? Why wear the bulky fatigue uniform with all its accessories? Why feel intimidated by officials around you who are ready to command at any time? Why even follow their orders at all, and even their method of punishment? And even of all the colors, a

everyone is searching for new sources of energy. We will now discuss on only electrical energy. We know that energy can’t be produced. It can only be transformed form one kind to another. The cheapest and the most available source of energy is the sun. We can use the solar radiation, which is transformed in to electrical energy directly using PV cells. Now, to solve the electric energy crisis, we need to do a few things. * Increase the production * Decrease use, specially misuses * Reduce

island in the middle of a large lake. But this is no ordinary lake; it’s located on top of and in the middle of a volcano’s crater. And when I sit on my beach house’s porch, looking out at the sun set, it looks as though the world ends because the water pours off of the rim of the volcano. The reflection of the sun dances on the water while I sit, playing the guitar, and serenading my equally beautiful girlfriend Emily. Off in the faint distance is the town just a hang glide trip away and beyond that

Newton observed the shape of the Earth to be oblate spheroidal or oval shaped, not prolate spheroidal or spherical. (According to Choi, 2007) • Giovanni Cassini, who discovered four moons of Saturn and estimated the distance between the Earth and Sun to be 87 million miles, maintained that the Earth was flat at the equator. His theory stirred controversy, contradicting Newton’s and others who maintained that the Earth was flattened at the poles. (Burns, 2001, p. 55) What are some discoveries and

establish a reference point by building a small mockup that could eventually help constructing full scale homes, saving money and time. The current system consists of solar panels that are connected to the household, and to an electrolyser. When the sun is shining, the solar panels produce electricity that is used to produce hydrogen and to provide energy to a residential home. The energy demanded by the household during the period of sunlight will be just a portion of the total energy needed to run

asymmetry, could be the cause of the "abnormal" appearance of SC 23. The new magnetic dipole begins to lose part of its energy even during the descending phase of SC 22, so that the activity of SC 23 proves to be below the predicted values. Key words: Sun − solar flares – solar activity cycles − N-S asymmetry. INTRODUCTION Solar flares are wonderfully complex phenomena, seen as sudden and intense increases in brightness on the solar disk. They occur when magnetic field loops undergo reorganization

It was Friday the 15th. I got up early and there was a sun shining outside my window. I cut school. I thought the best thing to do is to go to the river with my friends. When I was going outside I saw a black cat crossing my path. I've already known that this day isn't going to be one of the bests in my life. Later it turned out that my worst fears were realized. I bought a bus ticket. When I got to the bus stop and I understood that I'm late, it really put me out of humour. Me and my friend decided

Memo from CEO to Manager: Today at 11 o’clock there will be a total eclipse of the sun. This is when the sun disappears behind the moon for two minutes. As this is something that cannot be seen every day, time will be allowed for employees to view the eclipse in the parking lot. Staff should meet in the lot at ten to eleven, when I will deliver a short speech introducing the eclipse, and giving some background information. Safety goggles will be made available at a small cost. Memo from Manager
