Resource Management Technologies - Solar PV Recycling, Reuse and Redistribution Programs, and LCA Approach to Waste Management Systems
5.6 Solar PV Recycling The global installation of an estimated 500,000 solar panels per day in 2015 reflects the rapid growth of solar power. In terms of residential usage, a typical American home may require 28 to 34 solar panels to meet its power needs. Looking ahead, the U.S. Department of Energy projects a cumulative installation of 700 GW of solar power by 2050, equivalent to hundreds of billions of PV modules (Mulvaney, 2015).

Why the Navy Seals Still Use This 60 Year old Weapon
During the Vietnam War, in the midst of the battle which was a havoc, Lance Corporal Richard Pittman was in a really dangerous situation. It was 1966 and Pittman and his platoon were lying on the ground after they were trapped in no man's land when there was no way for them to move out of this fire line. In this time of great difficulty they’ve decided to try one last time and as a result of fallen soldiers, they picked up a dropped weapon – the M60 Machine Gun. The act was followed by a scene of bravery and might that would later earn him the Medal of Honor.

Which Country is Most Likely to Use a Nuclear Bomb First
Amid times of heightened geopolitical conflicts and continuously raging wars, only one nagging question arises - will nuclear war darken the future of human affairs? Most experts claim that the probability of a nuclear war today happening is higher than in was during The Cold War. The War in Ukraine and the Russia's aggressive rhetoric about nuclear weapons have made the world more worried about the possibility of an out of hand escalation. Nevertheless, an easier one is naming which country it will be starting a nuclear war as it is a very confusing and difficult job one should delve into global trends and military doctrines in order to understand it.

What Happens If You Get Rabies
Somewhere in the green suburbs of Minnesota, on July 27, 2020, a man woke up in the middle of the night to what can only be called a Count Dracula moment. A bat was in his bedroom, screaming and biting his hand. Besides that, he was a really fuzzy, fanged brute who was also rabid, which may be one reason he attacked a harmless man in his bed. As the story goes along, we are dragged into the viral nightmare of the terrifying dimension that only a disease like rabies can create.

Real Reason You Can't Fall Asleep
We’ve all been there. You’ve just come to bed, looking at your dark ceiling, and straight it up. Even though you have tossed and turned so many times, still nothing seems to work as expected. Every time you simply tuck one side of the body on a mattress, you will not avoid flipping yourself to the other side after just a few minutes. Every sound, even a whispery or short one, sounds like it is the loudest; the tires of a car slowly passing by outside that window can make you feel like the sound of the whole street is ripping through. The slightest creak coming from your home or flat echoes like some apocalyptic announcing sound. And as you lay there, feeling grumpy and exhausted but unable to rest, you can’t help but wonder one seemingly simple question: what is making it difficult for me to fall asleep?

Most Luxurious Prisons Around the World. Content Warning.
When such prisons are visualized, images of cells that are small, high walls and measures that are punishment like pop into our minds. Notwithstanding this fact, in the world community, there is a tendency to revise the custom whats sentencing is based on not just punishment but also rehabilitatioon too. "Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center in the Philippines" and the "quiet developer of Norway's Halden Prison" are just some examples of these alternative approaches that break away from conventional concepts of confinement. However, luxury cells are only a pleasurable environment for criminals. Does it actually rejuvenate offenders?We now need to investigate this discussion.

Interpersonal Skills & Groups
As this class comes to a close, I reflect back on the lessons I have learned about interpersonal dynamics and my own growth as an aspiring counselor. To begin, I reviewed my SEA assignment, my journals, my dyad practices, and our ELGs to evaluate where my turning point was in getting the gist of this course. In week 5, the class reflection and dyad assignment were similar in that both demonstrated that I had a few strengths and a few weaknesses to reflect on. During my dyad practice with EC, and while reviewing my interpersonal goals and SEA’s (1-4) in class, I realized my strengths were: inspiring others, providing empathy, and goal setting. I also identified a few weaknesses: not using enough silence to allow time for thought, not enough effective/active listening, and finding more empathy during my interpersonal interactions with others. I am sure this analysis applied to both inside and outside of the classroom. I believed it was a fairly accurate indicator of how my real life was lived interpersonally and socially, so I asked my wife for her feedback and she agreed that I need to work on more silence, active listening, and more presence. My wife was a solid reference to use because she knew me outside of the classroom.

Why So Many People Have Gone Missing in Bermuda Triangle
The legendary Bermuda Triangle, this unusual equilateral triangle, between Florida, Bermuda, and Puerto Rico has generated widespread interest, mystery, and awe among men for centuries with stories of airplane and vessels disappearances. In contrast with those indifferent, who call it a pure coincidence or myth, there are others who find this so exciting, they build up fantastical tales of aliens, sea monsters, or even portals to other worlds. On the one hand there is a persistent maritime enigma behind all of them, but on the other what is the real truth about it?
