My bucket list

I read “Ultra efficient solar panels”, this article talked about the new solar panels that are converting more light into electrical energy. I was most surprised that the solar panels were converting 34% of the light that hit them into solar energy. It seems like a lot because solar panels are constantly blasted with light all day long. I think this article allows me to infer that in the future we will be able to convert 50, 60, maybe even 70% of light into useable energy for towns and cities. Eventually the solar panels may be able towns as big as New York or LA, but I don’t see it happening in the immediate future. One of the breakout technologies in 2009 was SIRI, the voice in an iPhone that allows you to speak your command. In 2009 it was an amazing accomplishment and now in 2013 it has become very basic and accessible technological device.

Automobile manufacturer Henry Ford was born on July 30, 1863, on his family’s farm near Dearborn, Michigan. When Henry was 15, his father gifted him a pocket watch, which the young boy promptly took apart and reassembled. Friends and neighbors were impressed and requested that he fix their timepieces too.

Unsatisfied with farm work, Ford left home the next year, at age 16, to take an apprenticeship as a machinist in Detroit. In the years that followed, he would learn to skillfully operate and service steam engines, and would also study bookkeeping

In 1888, Ford married Clara Ala Bryant and briefly returned to farming to support his wife and son, Edsel. But three years later, he was hired as an engineer for the Edison Illuminating Company. In 1883, his natural talents earned him a promotion to Chief Engineer.

All the while, Ford developed his plans for a horseless carriage, and in 1896, he constructed his first model, the Ford Quadricycle. After a few trials building cars and companies, in 1903, Henry Ford established the Ford Motor Company. Ford introduced the Model T in October of 1908, and for several years, the company posted 100 percent gains.

In 1914, he sponsored the development of the moving assembly line technique of mass production. Simultaneously, he introduced the $5-per-day wage as a method of keeping the best workers loyal to his company. Simple to drive and cheap to repair, half of all cars in America in 1918 were Model T’s.

Ford was also an ardent pacifist and opposed World War I, even funding a peace ship to Europe. Later, in 1936, Ford and his family established the Ford Foundation to provide ongoing grants for research, education and development. But despite these philanthropic leanings, Ford was also a committed anti-Semite, going as far as to support a weekly newspaper, The Dearborn Independent, which furthered such views.

Henry Ford died of a cerebral hemorrhage on April 7, 1947, at the age of 83, near his Dearborn estate, Fair Lane. Ford, considered one of America's leading businessmen, and is credited today for helping to build America's economy during the nation's vulnerable early years.

River of Doubt Essay

            Theodore Roosevelt went to South America for two things: 1. to see his son, Kermit and 2. He was invited to speak at a conference. When Roosevelt got there he was asked by the government to go on a trip with the famous Col. Rondon. While they were trekking to the headwaters of the river, many of their donkeys died or were too exhausted to keep going, so they were left behind, already losing some of their supplies. When they reached the headwaters the canoes they had bought were leaky and unstable. This is what mainly caused the canoe that Theodore’s son was in, to flip, killing a paddler and losing vital supplies.

Though Kermit’s canoe was not the only one, many of the canoes flipped and caused Roosevelt’s party to lose more supplies. This still did not force Roosevelt to quit. They lived off of monkey meat and Hearts of palm in the jungle for the rest of their trip. Though it seemed like it, Theodore’s group was not the only ones in the jungle. Vicious natives were always watching the party and even attacked Rondon when he was out hunting. Instead of fighting Rondon had learned to give them gift to keep them away.

After a large gash was opened up on his leg after a boulder fell on him, Theodore suffered a terrible fever and malaria, which he never recovered from. Though they made it to the end of the river, it was not the end for Roosevelt. He collected over 2500 specimens for the Brazilian government to study. So grateful were they that they named the river, The Roosevelt River. With his death in 1919, many suspect it was the reoccurring malaria and constant high fever that he contracted in the jungle.
