I am going to be showing how to use a specific campfire technique called a Swedish torch fire. These campfires are great for use on a windy day and burn very hot and efficiently. The best part is all that is needed is a large cut log, some kindling and wire. The fire does not need to be replenished at all while cooking. The first step is to go out and find a large round log. These can be sawed off dead trees and it is important to know what wood you are using and to find dry pieces. I decided to use a log from a spruce tree since softwoods start easier than hardwood. With the log you have found, the next step is to split it into four pieces making them as even as possible which is what I’m doing here with a splitting maul. Once you have your four split pieces, it is time to place them back together so you know how much to carve out of the middle. These two pictures are the process of carving out the pieces. For this, I used a hatchet. Once you have carved out the middle of the split pieces, it is time to tie the pieces back together with wire. There should be a hole in the middle of the large enough to fit your hand into. It is also good to know that it is not necessary for the pieces to fit perfectly back together. Cracks between them actually is good for airflow to the fire. The reason I put it back together with wire is because rope will eventually burn off from the heat of the fire. Next, I put some dry grass and birch bark in the bottom of the log. I also put the log on some stones so air could flow through the bottom of the fire. Now the easiest part is lighting the fire! With a match, I lit the birch and slowly added some of the kindling I got from shaping the split pieces of wood. It didn’t take more than two minutes before the logs themselves started to burn which is what actually fuels the torch. Within a couple of minutes, the fire was burning very well and the wind actually helped heat it up even faster. I did not even use any lighter fluid or even firewood. This was all from what I was able to find in the woods. I decided to show how easy it is to cook on the torch method because there is no need for any rocks, branches or metal to be placed over the fire and all the heat is directed out of the hole in the top. The egg cooked within a couple of minutes and once the fire burns for a while, it burns much cleaner and throws a lot of heat. This method is a very efficient way to cook over a fire and only need and saw an axe to make..

Fire As a Physical Process
1.3 Energy transfer and the stages of combustion Understanding the principles of combustion, can we begin to see how fires initiate and spread? To complete the fire triangle, energy must move through space from a source to a “fuel” initiation oxygen energy THE COMBUSTION TRIANGLE How does this happen? combustible material Heat is a form of energy • Heat (or thermal energy) is proportional to molecular movement of matter, i.e., kinetic energy (KE) • The Kelvin scale measures the energy content of matter, starting at absolute 0 (- 273° C) • Heated objects emit radiation in the electromagnetic spectrum (EMS): • In the range we will deal with, mostly in the infrared • Even higher velocities emit in higher-frequency bands of the EMS See the “Ask a Scientist” excerpt posted for this lecture international light association, http://www.international-light-association.org Three basic modes of energy transfer: Conduction Radiation Convection A general principle of heat transfer: • Heat transfers between bodies according to the second law of thermodynamics (which in this case says that heat flows from high to low energy states, i.e., hot to cold bodies – In other words, heat flows down energy gradients – This goes a long way to explaining much of how fires behave 1. Conduction Movement of energy through a solid, or between solids in contact by molecular motion • Depends on thermal conductivity and energy gradient of material (conductors, insulators) • Also depends on amount of area of contact • Examples? • touching a hot metal object, e.g. a saucepan handle • heating water by an immersion coil • melting lead solder with a soldering iron • putting an ice cube on your skin Conductivity (ability of a material to conduct energy) The transfer of heat between molecules in contact with one another.

A Tungsten Filament Is Drawn to a Very Uniform Diameter When It Is Manufactured
http://invsee.eas.asu.edu/nmodules/lightbulbmod/burnout.html A tungsten filament is drawn to a very uniform diameter when it is manufactured. As a result, when a light bulb is first turned on the filament emits light relatively evenly along the length of the filament. Explore the failure of a filament using the following movie which shows an accelerated view of a filament failing. Notice how the light emitted from the filament changes intensity and location with time. Why does the filament get bright at one point before it fails ? Standard electrical outlets in the United States provide 110 volt (V) electricity. For an incandescent light bulb, the electric current (i) used to heat the filament is determined by the electrical resistance (R) of the filament according to Ohm’s Law: V = i R Electric power (P) is the rate of conversion of electrical energy to another form, such as heat. For a resistor, such as a tungsten light bulb filament, the power may be expressed as: P = i2 R = V2/R. The voltage drop across the filament is essentially constant. As a result, when R varies, so does i. In particular, R can vary locally with the cross-sectional area of the filament: R = ρ (l/s), where ρ is the specific resistance of tungsten (ohms), l is the length of a filament region (cm) and s is the cross-sectional area of the filament region locally (cm2). If the cross-sectional area of the filament changes with time to vary along its length, the current passing through each part of the filament will remain constant.

Each year his mother would make a little robe and take it to him when she accompanied her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice...The boy Samuel grew up in the service of the Lord.” 1 Samuel 2:18-21 Acolyte means an attendant or follower and Samuel is one of the first examples of an assistant to a priest. Your job as an acolyte is to assist the celebrant (the priest in charge of a worship service) and enhance the worship service to help glorify God. You are a minister of the church who is called to serve God. Therefore, every action you take should be done respectfully and in a dignified manner; the goal is for the attention of the congregation to be on the liturgy and not on the ministers.

Acolyte Information Manual
ST. CATHERINE’S EPISCOPAL CHURCH ACOLYTE INFORMATIONAL MANUAL Welcome to the ministry of the Acolyte at St. Catherine’s Episcopal Church! It is a privilege to serve at God’s Table, and it is an offering to God. It is also a responsibility and therefore requires knowledge, training and PRACTICE. By being an acolyte, you’ve taken on a role of leadership in the worship service. Thank you! This manual includes a history of the acolyte ministry, terms you’ll need to know, responsibilities and procedures, a description of the routine duties of an acolyte, various extra duties for the more formal liturgies, and written instructions for the proper manner in which duties are to be carried out. Even as we strive to do our best while serving God and our neighbor, we all make mistakes. When this happens, please remember these three things: 1. There is no mistake you can make that someone else hasn’t already made. 2. There is no mistake you can make that cannot be corrected. 3. God loves you, regardless of any mistakes you make. By reading this manual thoroughly, you’ll have a firm foundation for the ministry you offer and won’t be as prone to making mistakes. If you have any questions regarding the services and what you need to do, please ask them in a timely manner. This means before the morning you’re scheduled to serve, not just before you process down the aisle. History and Function of Acolytes The ministry of acolytes is a very old tradition in the Church.

Light-Emitting Diode - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
Light-emitting diode - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-emitting_diode From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A light-emitting diode (LED) (pronounced /ˌɛl iː ˈdiː/[1]) is a semiconductor Light-emitting diode light source. LEDs are used as indicator lamps in many devices, and are increasingly used for lighting. Introduced as a practical electronic component in 1962,[2] early LEDs emitted low-intensity red light, but modern versions are available across the visible, ultraviolet and infrared wavelengths, with very high brightness. When a light-emitting diode is forward biased (switched on), electrons are able to recombine with holes within the device, releasing energy in the form of photons. This effect is called electroluminescence and the color of the light (corresponding to the energy of the photon) is determined by the energy gap of Red, green and blue LEDs of the 5mm type 2 the semiconductor. An LED is usually small in area (less than 1 mm ), and Type Passive, optoelectronic integrated optical components are used to shape its radiation pattern and assist in reflection.[3] LEDs present many advantages over incandescent light sources Working principle Electroluminescence including lower energy consumption, longer lifetime, improved robustness, Invented Nick Holonyak Jr. (1962) smaller size, faster switching, and greater durability and reliability. LEDs powerful enough for room lighting are relatively expensive and require more Electronic symbol precise current and heat management than compact fluorescent lamp sources of comparable output. Pin configuration Anode and Cathode Light-emitting diodes are used in applications as diverse as replacements for aviation lighting, automotive lighting (particularly indicators) and in traffic signals.

Unit 1: What Is Energy?
UNIT 1: WHAT IS ENERGY? TEACHER OVERVIEW The three essential resources for any nation are food, water and energy. As a matter of fact, it is energy that helps produce more food and cleaner water for our ever growing global population. Securing and producing enough energy often becomes critical to economic and social stability throughout the world, so we need to know and understand as much as we can about our energy resources. Understanding where energy comes from and how we use it is more important now that at any time in our past as we want to provide a better and longer life for our global community. The energy concept is fundamentally scientific in nature, but it has tremendous personal and social significance. Energy is one of the most fundamental parts of our universe. We cannot see, hear or touch energy, yet we use energy every day. Although energy isn’t visible, we can detect evidence of energy. Movement, sound, heat, and light provide evidence that energy is present and being used. Energy from the sun lights the earth during the day and is used by plants to produce food. Energy lights up our homes and towns; provides the power for our modes of transportation (planes, trains, vehicles, rockets, etc.); warms and cools our homes; cooks our meals; plays our music; powers our phones, computers, tablets and televisions; powers the machinery used by factories, farmers, and construction workers; and too many others to mention. The Sun provides the energy for producers in a food chain to produce food for nearly all other organisms for their survival.
