“This new theory builds on the idea that around four billion years ago the Earth was struck by a Mars-like planet, but instead of the smash producing enough debris for one moon, this scientific essay argues there was enough for two.” (L. 7-11)

As we all know, electricity is a fundamental need. On a daily basis, we consume electricity even without us
knowing it. Just a simple task such as listening to your music player consumes electricity. Today, most of our electric
generators and power plants are fed with fossil fuels such as petroleum and coal. However, due to the exponential
increase of power demand, fossil fuel supplies are slowly being depleted. Not only that, but also burning fossil fuels
has given off greenhouse gases and other unwanted byproducts. Because of this, the search for alternative energy
sources is now a necessity. One of the most promising alternative energy sources today is Wind Powered Generators.
So, what is a wind-powered generator? Basically it is the use of wind as a mechanical force needed to power an electric
generator. Utilizing wind as an energy source is not exactly a new idea. The ancient Persians were the first to use wind
to pump water, cut wood, and grind food and others by building windmills. Even today you can find windmills still
being used on some farms. It was the use of wind as an electric source that came into existence much later. The first
practical wind powered generators were built in 1970, but yet we rarely see them in widespread use today, why? Let’s
look at the advantages and disadvantages of the wind powered generator.
The main advantage of wind powered generators is that they have, ideally, zero gas emissions – unlike fossil-fueled
power generators. Because of the alarming effects of greenhouse gases and global warming, we want our power
generators to be as clean and as environmentally friendly as possible. Since there is no burning process in a wind
powered generator that produces toxic gases, it is very safe to build one in residential areas. Also, with proper
engineering and enough wind, these generators can provide a high rate of wattage that can go as high as the Megawatt
range. Another advantage is that it can be implemented using several small turbines connected together. This is a good
thing when there is not enough space for huge structures.
The major disadvantage of wind powered generators is that wind power varies greatly from one place to another
and from day to day and season to season. Sometimes wind may be strong enough to supply energy, but that strength
cannot be maintained due to changes in weather patterns. Needing strong, constant wind to most effectively power
wind generators is one reason they are often built in coastal areas. Another disadvantage is that the structure of most
practical wind powered generators is huge and bulky. Commonly, its size is proportional to the wind power it can
collect.
Research in wind power has now intensified because of its innate advantages over other power generators. With
this increase in interest in wind energy and alternative energy sources as a whole, our future will become brighter and
more and more remote areas will eventually enjoy the benefits of clean electric energy. In an electricity-dependent
world, power supplies must provide the required electricity for communities and businesses. Wind powered generators
might just be the solution for power shortages.

PREJUDICE
There is a crippling disease that no amount of medical research can cure, no amount of fundraising
can prevent – a disease most often transmitted from parent to child.
If this disease isn‟t checked in its early stages, it can be fatal. The disease is called racism. Its early
symptom is the belief that one‟s racial group is somehow superior to others. This can lead to a mentality of
“we” versus “them”. In advanced stages, the symptoms of racism are violence, death and destruction. The
causes are fear of the foreign (xenophobia), intolerance of diversity and negative attitudes toward Jews and
other minorities.
A cure, however, exists. It‟s a non-surgical change of heart. It takes time, effort and understanding,
compassion and respect.
Institute for the Healing of Racism, Utah.

Sustainable flight
TAM was the first airline in South America to carry out an experimental flight using biofuel on November 22, 2010. Produced from the oil of 100% domestic nettlespurge, known in Portuguese as pinhão-manso, it reduces carbon emissions by between 65% and 80% compared with petroleum-derived kerosene, according to research. Besides, the plant does not threatens the food chain, as it is not edible for humans nor animals. “Compared with other biofuels, the fuel from this plant is very promising for the Brazilian scenario,” says Paulus Figueiredo, TAM’s fuel manager. The next step in the project is to implement a farming unit, in reduced scale, at TAM’s Technological Center in São Carlos (SP), exclusively to conduct studies and make better cultivation techniques viable. “The objective is to carry out studies concerning technical and economic viability to build a biofuel Brazilian platform based on nettlespurge,” explains TAM’s CEO, Líbano Barroso. The experimental flight was a joint effort between TAM, Airbus, CFM International (joint venture between U.S.’s GE and the French Safran Group) and Air BP. The trip was authorized by Brazil’s National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC) and by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).
