• why do power company's increase my rates for installing solar elec ?
|
my kilowatt & service fee have been increased as a punishment for putting $8000 solar inverter energy system on my roof. i was only notified after installation. it cant be just for money? completely immoral, shame full . they paint a picture of a rainbow & dolphin on their logo & tell us how green they are ! liars ! don't trust them. i hate them . i tell every one i meet of their deception,

• Can you please check the "Method & Apparatus" part of my observational astronomy exercise?
|
METHOD AND APPARATUS
The spectrum of visible light from multiple sources was observed using a linear diffraction grating. The grating, provided in the course package, was manufactured by the company Rainbow Symphony (http://www.rainbowsymphonystore.com/difgratslidl.html). The grating is made of plastic and it is surrounded by cardboard that one can hold. On the grating are 1000 parallel grooves that are evenly spaced at a distance of 1 µm (1/1000 mm). When visible light passes through the grating, those grooves make different wavelengths (colors) "bend" at different angles and "fan out" into a complete spectrum. The resolving power of the grating depends on, firstly, its size and, secondly, how finely-spaced the grooves are. The grating is very finely spaced, as gratings typically have spacings between 100-1000 grooves/mm. However, the plastic grating is rather small: it is only 3.5 cm in width and 2.5 cm in length, or 8.75 cm2 in area. In comparison, some diffraction gratings can have the size of TV screen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Diffraction_grating.jpg). This small size has a negative effect on the resolution of the optical component.
Other apparatus used during this exercise were a magnifying glass and a home-made spectroscope. A spectroscope is an instrument that disperses light into a spectrum using either a diffraction grating or a prism. The spectroscope was made using a cardboard tube (10 cm in length, 5 cm in diameter) from a roll of toilet paper and paper. A thick wad of paper with a pinhole (0.15 cm in diameter) was taped to one end of the tube, while the diffraction grating was placed on the other end. Light from a chosen source would be directed into the darkness of the tube and onto the diffraction grating. The magnifying glass was used to zoom in the spectra of sunlight as seen on the grating in hope of finding faint absorption lines.

METHOD AND APPARATUS
The spectrum of visible light from multiple sources was observed using a linear diffraction grating. The grating, provided in the ASTR100 course package, was manufactured by the company Rainbow Symphony (http://www.rainbowsymphonystore.com/difgratslidl.html). The grating is made of plastic and it is surrounded by cardboard that one can hold. On the grating are 1000 parallel grooves that are evenly spaced at a distance of 1 µm (1/1000 mm). When visible light passes through the grating, those grooves split that light into by wavelength (color). The resolving power of the grating depends on, firstly, its size and, secondly, how finely-spaced the grooves are (“Diffraction grating”, Ridpath, 2007). The grating is very finely spaced, as gratings typically have spacings between 100-1000 grooves/mm (“Diffraction grating”, Ridpath, 2007). However, the plastic grating is rather small: it is only 3.5 cm in width and 2.5 cm in length, or 8.75 cm2 in area. In comparison, some diffraction gratings can have the size of TV screen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Diffraction_grating.jpg). This small size has a negative effect on the resolution of the optical component.
Other apparatus used during this exercise were a magnifying glass and a cardboard tube whose one end was covered with paper in which was a pinhole (about 0.15 cm in diameter). This tube device was made in an attempt to try to direct light from only one specific source (the source being studied) onto the grating through the pinhole. The end with the paper and pinhole was pointed towards the light source while the grating was placed on the other end. The magnifying glass was used to zoom in the spectra of sunlight as seen on the grating in hope of finding faint absorption lines.
I experimented with using the diffracting grating to attempt to look at the spectra of multiple sources: automotive head-lights, automotive tail-lights, candles, a large indoor fluorescent tube, smaller fluorescent tubes in a portable camping lamp, a candle, two or three outdoor wall lamps in a city center, the blue neon sign of a restaurant, the small blinking lights on a road construction sign, an incandescent bulb the Sun at different times of the day.
In the end, I chose only six of those sources to discuss in the table below. I chose a mixture of light sources which have continuous spectra, absorption spectra, emission spectra, and sometimes seemingly a combination of two kinds of spectra (eg: emission and absorption). Then, with the help of the course textbook and other external sources, I speculated about how those light sources produced their particular spectra.

• Crazy & Stupid Questions !!!?
|
If drinking and driving is illegal, why do pubs have parking lots?
Crime doesn't pay... does that mean a poor guy's job is a crime?
How do 'Do Not Walk On Grass' signs get there?
How do the skittle company people know what a rainbow tastes like?
If knowledge is power and power corrupts, doesn't knowledge corrupt?
Now the ultimate Question is:
Can anyone come up with answers to these stupid yet true questions?

• What would happen if Noah Was alive today?
|
.
In the year 2011, the Lord came unto Noah, Who was now living in England and said: "Once again, the earth has become wicked and over-populated, and I see the end of all flesh before me. Build another Ark and save 2 of every living thing along with a few good humans."
He gave Noah the blueprints, saying: "You have 6 months to build the Ark before I will start the unending rain for 40 days and 40 nights."
Six months later, the Lord looked down and saw Noah weeping in his yard - but no Ark.
"Noah!," He roared, "I'm about to start the rain! Where is the Ark ?"
"Forgive me, Lord," begged Noah, "but things have changed."
"I needed a Building Permit."
"I've been arguing with the Boat Inspector about the need for a sprinkler system."
"My neighbours claim that I've violated the Neighbourhood By-Laws by building the Ark in my back garden and exceeding the height limitations. We had to go to the Local Planning Committee for a decision."
"Then the Local Council and the Electricity Company demanded a shed load of money for the future costs of moving power lines and other overhead obstructions, to clear the passage for the Ark 's move to the sea. I told them that the sea would be coming to us, but they would hear nothing of it."
"Getting the wood was another problem. There's a ban on cutting local trees in order to save the Greater Spotted Barn Owl. I tried to convince the environmentalists that I needed the wood to save the owls - but no go!"
"When I started gathering the animals the RSPCA took me to court. They insisted that I was confining wild animals against their will. They argued the accommodations were too restrictive, and it was cruel and inhumane to put so many animals in a confined space."
"Then the Environmental Agency ruled that I couldn't build the Ark until they'd conducted an environmental impact study on your proposed flood."
"I'm still trying to resolve a complaint with the Human Rights Commission on how many minorities I'm supposed to hire for my building crew."
"Immigration is checking the visa status of most of the people who want to work."
"The trades unions say I can't use my sons. They insist I have to hire only Union workers with Ark-building experience."
"To make matters worse, the Inland Revenue seized all my assets, claiming I'm trying to leave the country illegally with endangered species."
"So, forgive me, Lord, but it would take at least 10 years for me to finish this Ark. "
Suddenly the skies cleared, the sun began to shine, and a rainbow stretched across the sky.
Noah looked up in wonder and asked, "You mean you're not going to destroy the world?"
"No," said the Lord.
"Man's Governments beat me to it."

• Noah in Today's World??
|
NOAH TODAY
In the year 2010, the Lord came unto Noah, who was now living in Taree (Gods country ?) and said:
"Once again, the earth has become wicked and over-populated, and I see the end of all flesh before me. Build another Ark and save 2 of every living thing along with a few good humans." He gave Noah the blueprints, saying:
"You have 6 months to build the Ark before I will start the unending rain for 40 days and 40 nights."
Six months later, the Lord looked down and saw Noah weeping in his yard - but no Ark.
"Noah!," He roared,
"I'm about to start the rain! Where is the Ark?"
"Forgive me, Lord," begged Noah,
"But things have changed since you asked me to build your 1st Ark."
"I needed a Building Permit."
"I've been arguing with the Building Inspector about the need for a sprinkler system."
"My neighbours claim that I've violated the Manning Valley LEP and DCP, numerous SEPs and many other Regulations by building the Ark in my back garden and exceeding the height limitations. We had to go to the Greater Taree City Council and now we have to go to the Regional Planning Committee for a decision and then to the NSW Land & Environment Court."
"The RTA; Council and the Electricity Company have demanded alot load of money for the future costs of moving power lines and other overhead obstructions to clear the passage for the Ark's move to the sea.
I told them that the sea would be coming to us and it would float itself, but they would hear nothing of it..."
"Getting the wood was another problem. There's a ban on cutting local trees in order to save the Barking Owl habitat." "I tried to convince the Council, The Greens and local environmentalists that I needed the wood to save these same owls - but NO - GO!"
"When I started gathering the animals, the RSPCA took me to court. They insisted that I was confining wild animals against their will. They argued the accommodations were too restrictive, and it was cruel and inhumane to put so many animals in a confined space."
"Then the Greens put pressure on the NSW Environmental Protection Agency ruled that I couldn't build the Ark until they'd conducted an environmental impact study on YOUR proposed flood."
"I'm still trying to resolve a complaint with the Equal Opportunity Commission & Labour Council on how many minorities and women I'm supposed to hire for my building gang."
"Immigration are checking the Visa status of most of the people who do want to work."
"The Building trade unions say I can't use my sons. They insist I have to hire only Union workers with Ark-building experience."
"To make matters worse, the ATO and Customs seized all my assets, claiming I'm trying to leave the country illegally with endangered species."
"So, forgive me, Lord, but it will take at least 20 years for me to finish this Ark."½
"Suddenly the skies cleared, the sun began to shine, and a rainbow stretched across the sky."
Noah looked up in wonder and asked,
"You mean you're not going to destroy the world?"
"No," said the Lord.
"The AUSTRALIAN GREENS and LABOR PARTY have beaten me to it."
