However, things went from bad to worse in March 2015 after heavy rains damaged the only power cables in the area. The villagers were forced to use oil lamps, which are not only expensive but also dangerous because of the harmful gases they produce.Luckily, researchers at the University of Technology (UT) in Lima, Peru heard about their problem and found a wonderful solution. They made a lamp that can be powered by plants and soil, both of which can be easily found in the Amazonian rainforest where the village lies. The lamp takes energy from a plant growing in a wooden box and uses it to light up an LED light bulb.While that may sound amazing and even impossible, the science behind the ides is quite simple. As plants create their food (using the suns energy, water and chemicals from the soil), they also produce waste which they return to the soil. Tiny animals in the soil eat this waste and they produce electrons the building blocks of electrical energy. The UT team put special sticks inside the soil to capture the energy and keep it in the lamps batteries for later use. The researchers say a single charge can power a 50-watt Led light for two hours - enough time for local villagers to get their evening work done.The university gave ten Plant Lamps to the villagers of Nuevo Saposoa in October 2015. So far, they have been a huge success! Elmer Ramirez, the UT professor who invented the lamp, believes the Plant Lamp could help improve the lives of many people, especially small rainforest communities, 42% of whom have no electricity.36.

The event took place one snowy January morning Thomas Smith was walking his dog, Jack, in the park.“ As I was walking, I just saw Jack running onto the ice towards the ducks in the middle, and then he fell into the water and couldnt climb out, ”said Smith. He realized he had no choice but to try and save his dog. “ someone else told me the lake was only one - meter deep, but it was at least twice that. I had to break my way through the 6- cm ice. Finally, I got Jack by the neck, and pulled him out. I dont think I have ever felt so cold by the time we got back to dry land. And when we got there, everyone was asking if Jack was okayno one was particularly worried, about me!” A neighbor, Julie Brown, saw it all happen. “The dog went onto an icy lake. All of a sudden, it started to go under. There were crowds of people around, and they were all shouting and screaming. Before I knew it, the owner Smith was in the water forcing his way through the ice. I cant begin to imagine how cold it was. Everyone was very nervous, but he was as cool as a cucumberhe just crawled back out, put the dog on its lead, and went home.”Many regard him as a hero, but Mr. Smith is quite laid- back about it. “Most dog owners are the same as me.

They have strong influence on your actions. Your peers influence how you think, how you act, and even how you dress. Peer pressure is the influence that people of the same age have on one another.

She ran across the picturesque to the shores of Cayuga Lake, where she jumped into the water.So did many of her fellow seniors. But dozens of students decided to stay away, especially the relatively few newly arrived male students.Wells College, which since 1868 had educated only women, began accepting men this year in hopes of bolstering its dwindling enrollment. For many students and alumnae, it was a crushing decision. After the college announced last October that it would go coeducational, about half of the students protested and two filed a lawsuit, which they later dropped.The students33 men and 383 women campus late month Both sexes are now trying to navigate new social landscape. Mr. Phillips said “You cant do guy stuff. Every time you want to sit and watch sports or a game, it turns into a movie.” The women were “some what nasty.” I could see the dirty looks in their eyes,” he said.“But I was not going to let that stop me from coming.”Wells was a place where women did not have to fuss over their appearance or fight to be taken seriously by their professors. They could enjoy the camaraderie of their campus sisters and their playful traditions. Besides jumping into the lake, the women dance around the maypole each May and kiss the feet of the statue of Minerva, the Roman goddess of wisdom, before exams.Ms. Alexander said, “People told us we wouldnt notice a difference, but from the moment men arrived on campus not could notice a difference. Waking up early to put on makeup, and thats odd,” she said.Henry Wells, a founder of Wells Fargo and a friend of Cornells benefactor, Ezra Cornell established this college, when women were not considered capable of higher learning. “Give her the opportun
