Year of the Horse: Chinese Lunar New Year

...energy, momentum, vitality, freedom, and forward movement. These qualities are deeply embedded in centuries of folklore, philosophy, and daily life. A horse year is often associated with opportunity, movement, and new ventures. For many, it is a time to be bold, take decisive steps, and embrace change with enthusiasm. In 2026, the horse year is specifically a ‘Fire...

The Legacy of Nuclear Power, Part 2

...energies into trying to bury it and forget it we need to have regard to what is actually happening and what is actually there. And what is there is gonna be there for a long time. And when you use the words “short term”, forgive me I find this very difficult, but this is typical. The government and the industry will talk about interim storage. Now interim implies...

Modelling the planets

...Solar System. I imagine that looking at Venus could tell us something about the future of our own planet. Venus is very similar to Earth in many aspects. It’s the same size. It has the same mass and same density. It could have been Earth's twin. But during its history, something happened. We know that it lost its water but we don’t know how much water it had. For...

...solar system (see Figure 8). The purpose of such a model, known as an orrery, is to represent the position of the planets relative to each other over time. The invention of the orrery is usually attributed to George Graham (1673–1751). Graham worked on this with the support of the 4th Earl of Orrery, which explains the name. The tiny crank on the side of the central...

...energy sources (such as wind and solar) displace fossil fuels. Nevertheless, the CE viewpoint is close to the neoclassical approach in that it aims to make markets more efficient (in terms of their material and energy use) and looks to similar policy tools, such as taxes and subsidies to incentivise the required changes, bolstered by regulation as required. While CE is...

...energy, pace and mood. For example, if a client is slow paced, the coach may need to slow their pace to match that of the client. One additional benefit of paying attention to rapport is it helps the process of listening. By tuning into the client, the coach puts their attention on the client, which helps the listening process to begin. In the video examples of rapport,...

...energy. As a result, an electron orbiting in this way would rapidly spiral into the nucleus as its electrical energy reduced. Clearly, this doesn’t happen, so electrons cannot really be simply orbiting the nucleus. Consequently this model didn’t remain in vogue for too long. By the 1920’s a branch of physics known as of quantum mechanics began to stamp its mark on...

...energy costs by 50%. Can use lower casting temperatures. Materials: CLA process has been applied to several alloy systems, these include: aluminium-based alloys nickel-based alloys stainless steels cobalt-based alloy for surgical implants. The CLV process is used for vacuum cast alloys, to reduce contamination by reactive elements such as nickel-, cobalt- and...
