EVALUACIN Y CONDICIN DE APROBACIN

La evaluacin ser continua, adaptndose a la modalidad de lo dispuestos por los nuevos diseos curriculares. Se
tomarn trabajos prcticos, un examen parcial y dos globales, todos escritos. Para promocionar la materia el alumno deber
cumplir con los siguientes requisitos:
1) 80% de asistencia,
2) 100% de trabajos prcticos,
3) deber rendir las tres evaluaciones mencionadas, y,
4) para promocionar, la nota no puede ser inferior a 4 en ninguno de los dos globales.
La promocin del alumno se determinar por el promedio de notas numricas obtenidas del siguiente modo:
La nota del primer parcial se sumar a la del global I y se dividir por dos. Este promedio se sumar a la nota del global
final (global II). Esta suma se dividir por 2 para obtener la nota final:

(Primer Parcial + Primer Global): 2 = Promedio (no hay redondeo en esta nota)
(Promedio + Segundo Global): 2 = Nota Final
En el caso de que el resultado de con 49 centsimos o menos, se considerar el nmero entero anterior. Si los
centsimos fueran 50 o ms, la nota final se expresar con el entero siguiente. (Ejemplos: 6,49 = 6; 6,60 = 7.)
La condicin final del alumno se establecer dentro de las siguientes tres situaciones:
Promedio final entre 7 y 10: PROMOVIDO
Promedio final entre 4 y 6 : REGULARIZADO (rinde examen en condicin de alumno regular)
Promedio final menor de 4 : NO REGULARIZADO (rinde examen final como alumno libre.

Interpretacin de textos
Interpretar textos en ingls implica una serie de habilidades que la mayor parte de las personas ya tienen si han pasado por la educacin
formal. Entre ellas las ms importantes involucradas son: las capacidades relacionadas con la prediccin del tema del texto que permite que el
lector formule ciertas hiptesis sobre lo que va a leer, a primera vista y sin haber empezado a leer propiamente; las capacidades relacionadas
con la comprensin literal del texto, es decir palabra por palabra y las capacidades relacionadas con la comprensin global del texto, que
implica avanzar sobre lo implcito, lo cultural involucrado, lo contextual, etc.
Leer e interpretar un texto implica no solo analizar cada palabra, buscar en el diccionario su significado y armar un texto igual al que se lee. Por
el contrario, significa una negociacin entre el texto escrito y el significado que el lector logra al final del proceso, convirtindolo a su propio
idioma es decir decodificando el significado total del texto a la luz de sus propios esquemas conceptuales, su cultura y sus preferencias.
Passage #1 Chemical and Physical Changes
All matter, all things can be changed in two ways: chemically and physically. Both chemical and physical changes affect the state of
matter. Physical changes are those that do not change the make-up or identity of the matter. For example, clay will bend or flatten if
squeezed, but it will still be clay. Changing the shape of clay is a physical change, and does not change the matters identify. Chemical changes
turn the matter into a new kind of matter with different properties. For example, when paper is burnt, it becomes ash and will never be paper
again. The difference between them is that physical changes are temporary or only last for a little while, and chemical changes are permanent,
which means they last forever. Physical and chemical changes both affect the state of matter.
La oracin
Los prrafos de un texto estn configurados por las oraciones que lo componen. A su vez las oraciones muestran su relacin semntica a travs
de los conectores (ver apndice 1). La oracin en ingls mantiene un orden estricto, muy diferente del espaol que goza de mayor libertad en
su organizacin. Generalmente constan de un sujeto que es el que realiza la accin, o la persona o entidad de la que se trata toda la oracin, el
grupo verbal, un objeto, que puede ser una persona o cosa, que es el que resulta afectado por la accin si la hay, y compleme ntos
circunstanciales que indican cundo, cmo, dnde, por qu, etc. sucede el hecho.
The archaeologists are looking for the weapons in the plains of France at this moment.

La frase nominal
La frase nominal en ingls puede jugar diferentes funciones sintcticas en la estructura de la oracin o de la clusula: sujeto, objeto y
complemento. Se usan para referirse a cosas sobre las que se quiere hablar: personas, objetos, conceptos, procesos y todo tipo de entidades.
En algunos casos las frases nominales tienen estructuras bsicas o estructuras complejas.
1 Frases nominales bsicas

Las frases nominales bsicas consisten de pronombres, nmeros, o sustantivos con artculos, o sustantivos con otros modificadores
que ocurren delante del sustantivo ncleo.

La frase nominal en ingls contiene, como mnimo, un sustantivo o pronombre:

world,
technology,
war,
ecosystem,
child,
he (ver ejemplos pg.1).

2 Frases nominales con artculos

Las frases nominales bsicas no solo pueden consistir de pronombres y numerales, sino tambin de un sustantivo ncleo con artculos o
artculos modificados por pre-determinadores. El sustantivo ncleo es el elemento central y decisivo de la frase nominal. Puede ser

singular contable como:

Prof Miram Sitta

machine

Pgina 14

Universidad Tecnolgica Nacional

Facultad Regional Mendoza
Departamento de Materias Bsicas
Ingles Tcnico I

plural contable:

machines

o masivos o incontables :

oil

Los artculos pueden ser indefinidos a y an; definidos the; o artculo cero como en la frase nominal 'Machines'.
A machine
The machine
Machines
El uso de artculos no es la nica posibilidad de determinar sustantivos, se pueden usar palabras tales como: no, what, this, some,
every, each and either antes del ncleo. Estas palabras tambin llamadas determinantes forman un sistema cerrado y son excluyentes
unas de otras.
(Traducir, identificar determinadores)

All the many important research papers are collected.

This is based on the very latest research.

Con respecto a los sustantivos contables singulares y plurales y a los masivos o incontables podemos distinguir otros tipos de
deternimantes.
(Traducir, identificar)

Possessive (my, your, 'his, etc.)

Genitive (my fathers, Annes, etc.)

Newtons Laws:
a) Law of Inertia: Objects at rest or in uniform motion (at a constant velocity) in an inertial reference frame remain so unless
acted upon by an unbalanced (net) force. We can write this algebraically as
= constant vector (1)
b) Law of Dynamics: The net force applied to an object is directly proportional to its acceleration in an inertial reference frame.
The constant of proportionality is called the mass of the object. We write this algebraically as:
(2) where we introduce the momentum of a particle, p = m v, in the last way
of writing it.
c) Law of Reaction: If object A exerts a force FAB on object B along a line connecting the two objects, then object B exerts an
equal and opposite reaction force of FBA = FAB on object A. We write this algebraically as:

Prof Miram Sitta

Pgina 20

Universidad Tecnolgica Nacional

Facultad Regional Mendoza
Departamento de Materias Bsicas
Ingles Tcnico I
Fij = Fji (or) Xi, j Fij = 0 (4) (the latter form means that the sum of all internal forces between particles in any closed system of
particles cancel).
An inertial reference frame is a spatial coordinate system (or frame) that is either at rest or moving at a constant speed, a nonaccelerating set of coordinates that can be used to describe the locations of real objects. In physics one has considerable leeway
when it comes to choosing the (inertial) coordinate frame to be used to solve a problem some lead to much simpler solutions
than others!
Forces of Nature (weakest to strongest):
a) Gravity
b) Weak Nuclear
c) Electromagnetic
d) Strong Nuclear
It is possible that there are more forces of nature waiting to be discovered. Because physics is not a dogma, this presents no real
problem. If they are, well simply give the discoverer a Nobel Prize and add their name to the pantheon of great physicists, add
the force to the list above, and move on. Science, as noted, is self-correcting.
Force is a vector. For each force rule below we therefore need both a formula or rule for the magnitude of the force (which we
may have to compute in the solution to a problem in the case of forces of constraint such as the normal force (see below) we
will usually have to do so) and a way of determining or specifying the direction of the force. Often this direction will be obvious
and in corresponence with experience and mere common sense strings pull, solid surfaces push, gravity points down and not
up. Other times it will be more complicated or geometric and (along with the magnitude) may vary with position and time.
Force Rules: The following set of force rules will be used both in this chapter and throughout this course. All of these rules can
be derived or understood (with some effort) from the forces of nature, that is to say from elementary natural laws.
a) Gravity (near the surface of the earth): Fg = mg (5)
The direction of this force is down, so one could write this in vector form as Fg = mgy in a coordinate system such that up is
the +y direction. This rule follows from Newtons Law of Gravitation, the elementary law of nature in the list above, evaluated
near the surface of the earth where it is approximately constant.
b) The Spring (Hookes Law) in one dimension:
Fx = kx (6)
This force is directed back to the equilibrium point of unstretched spring, in the opposite direction to x, the displacement of
the mass on the spring from equilibrium. This rule arises from the primarily electrostatic forces holding the atoms or molecules
of the spring material together, which tend to linearly oppose small forces that pull them apart or push them together (for
reasons we will understand in some detail later).

Einsteins interpretation was that light doesnt really have mass, but that energy is affected by
gravity just like mass is. The energy in a light beam is equivalent to a certain amount of mass, given
by the famous equation E = mc2, where c is the speed of light. Because the speed of light is such a
big number, a large amount of energy is equivalent to only a very small amount of mass, so the
gravitational force on a light ray can be ignored for most practical purposes.
There is however a more satisfactory and fundamental distinction between light and matter,
which should be understandable to you if you have had a chemistry course. Einsteins theory of
relativity is discussed more fully in book 6 of this series.

Basics of the metric system

The metric system
Units were not standardized until fairly recently in history, so when the physicist Isaac Newton
gave the result of an experiment with a pendulum, he had to specify not just that the string was 37
7/8 inches long but that it was 37 7/8 London inches long." The inch as defined in Yorkshire
would have been different. Even after the British Empire standardized its units, it was still very
inconvenient to do calculations involving money, volume, distance, time, or weight, because of all
the odd conversion factors, like 16 ounces in a pound, and 5280 feet in a mile. Through the
nineteenth century, schoolchildren squandered most of their mathematical education in
preparing to do calculations such as making change when a customer in a shop offered a onecrown note for a book costing two pounds, thirteen shillings and tuppence. The dollar has always
been decimal, and British money went decimal decades ago, but the United States is still saddled
with the antiquated system of feet, inches, pounds, ounces and so on.
Every country in the world besides the U.S. uses a system of units known in English as the metric
system." This system is entirely decimal, thanks to the same eminently logical people who
brought about the French Revolution. In deference to France, the system's offcial name is the
Systeme International, or SI, meaning International System. (The phrase SI system" is therefore
redundant.)

The wonderful thing about the SI is that people who live in countries more modern than ours do
not need to memorize how many ounces there are in a pound, how many cups in a pint, how
many feet in a mile, etc. The whole system works with a single, consistent set of Greek and Latin
prefixes that modify the basic units. Each prefix stands for a power of ten, and has an abbreviation
that can be combined with the symbol for the unit. For instance, the meter is a unit of distance.
The prefix kilo- stands for 10 , so a kilometer, 1 km, is a thousand meters.

The basic units of the metric system are the meter for distance, the second for time, and the gram
for mass.
The following are the most common metric prefixes. You should memorize them.

There are rules by which the universe functions.

Tiempos verbales
Los tiempos de verbos
La accin del verbo puede estar en pasado, presente o futuro. Cada tiempo tiene su propia frmula y
estructura y seleccin de vocabulario que ayuda a identificar que clase de accin est ocurriendo. Los tiempos
simples hacen referencia a un nico momento o a acciones repetidas o acciones habituales. El pasado simple se
forma cambiando el verbo de dos maneras posibles: agregando ed al final del verbo (regular) o usando la forma
del pasado correspondiente al verbo (irregular). El futuro se forma agregando el auxiliar will (no tiene significado
ms all de la nocin de futuro) delante del verbo.
Los tiempos continuos o progresivos suceden en un periodo de tiempo. Este tiempo siempre se forma con una
forma del verbo be y el verbo principal terminado en -ing. De modo que la frmula del tiempo resulta: (sujeto)
+ (be) + (verbo principal + -ing)
Los tiempos perfectos se usan para comparar acciones o cuando el tiempo de ocurrencia no es determinado.
Este tiempo siempre se forma con el verbo have y la forma del participio pasado del verbo principal. La
formula resulta: (sujeto) + (have) + (participio pasado del verbo principal).
Los tiempos perfectos continuos o progresivos se usan cuando una accin ha sucedido en un periodo
de tiempo antes que otra accin en el pasado. O una accion que comienza en el pasado y contina en el presente
o el future. Siempre se forma combinando las formulas de los tiempos continuos y los perfectos: (sujeto) + (have)
+ been + -ing.

THE ORIGINS OF THE QUANTUM THEORY by CATHRYN CARSON

WHAT IS A QUANTUM THEORY? We have been asking that question for a long time, ever since Max Planck
introduced the element of discontinuity we call the quantum a century ago. Since then, the chunkiness of Nature
(or at least of our theories about it) has been built into our basic conception of the world. It has prompted a
fundamental rethinking of physical theory. At the same time it has helped make sense of a whole range of
peculiar behaviors manifested principally at microscopic levels. From its beginning, the new regime was
symbolized by Plancks constant h, introduced in his famous paper of 1900. Measuring the worlds departure
from smooth, continuous behavior, h proved to be a very small number, but different from zero. Wherever it
appeared, strange phenomena came with it.
What it really meant was of course mysterious. While the quantum era was inaugurated in 1900, a quantum
theory would take much longer to jell. Introducing discontinuity was a tentative step, and only a first one. And
even thereafter, the recasting of physical theory was hesitant and slow. Physicists pondered for years what a
quantum theory might be. Wondering how to integrate it with the powerful apparatus of nineteenth-century
physics, they also asked what relation it bore to existing, classical theories. For some the answers crystallized
with quantum mechanics, the result of a quartercenturys labor. Others held out for further rethinking. If the
outcome was not to the satisfaction of all, still the quantum theory proved remarkably successful, and the
puzzlement along the way, despite its frustrations, can only be called extraordinarily productive.
INTRODUCING h
The story began inconspicuously enough on December 14, 1900. Max Planck was giving a talk to the German
Physical Society on the continuous spectrum of the frequencies of light emitted by an ideal heated body. Some

two months earlier this 42-year-old theorist had presented a formula capturing some new experimental results.
Now, with leisure to think and more time at his disposal, he sought to provide a physical justification for his
formula. Planck pictured a piece of matter, idealizing it somewhat, as equivalent to a collection of oscillating
electric charges. He then imagined distributing its energy in discrete chunks proportional to the frequencies of
oscillation. The constant of proportionality he chose to call h; we would now write e = hf. The frequencies of
oscillation determined the frequencies of the emitted light. A twisted chain of reasoning then reproduced
Plancks postulated formula, which now involved the same natural constant h.
Looking back on the event, we might expect revolutionary fanfare. But as so often in history, matters were more
ambiguous. Planck did not call his energy elements quanta and was not inclined to stress their discreteness,
which made little sense in any familiar terms. So the meaning of his procedure only gradually became apparent.
Although the problem he was treating was pivotal in its day, its implications were at first thought to be confined.
BLACKBODIES
The behavior of light in its interaction with matter was indeed a key problem of nineteenth-century physics.
Planck was interested in the two theories that overlapped in this domain. The first was electrodynamics, the
theory of electricity, magnetism, and light waves, brought to final form by James Clerk Maxwell in the 1870s.
The second, dating from roughly the same period, was thermodynamics and statistical mechanics, governing
transformations of energy and its behavior in time. A pressing question was whether these two grand theories
could be fused into one, since they started from different fundamental notions.
Beginning in the mid-1890s, Planck took up a seemingly narrow problem, the interaction of an oscillating charge
with its electromagnetic field. These studies, however, brought him into contact with a long tradition of work on
the emission of light. Decades earlier it had been recognized that perfectly absorbing (black) bodies provided a
standard for emission as well. Then over the years a small industry had grown up around the study of such
objects (and their real-world substitutes, like soot). A small group of theorists occupied themselves with the
thermodynamics of radiation, while a host of experimenters labored over heated bodies to fix temperature,
determine intensity, and characterize deviations from blackbody ideality (see the graph above). After scientists
pushed the practical realization of an old ideathat a closed tube with a small hole constituted a near-ideal
blackbodythis cavity radiation allowed ever more reliable measurements.

Clarice Aiello: Finding quantum gold in diamonds defect
The kind of diamond Clarice Aiello values does not come in a dazzling pear or square cut, swaddled in black velvet on a counter at
Tiffanys. Instead, it exists as a millimeter-sized chunk on a sturdy table in a lab she built. Whats more, Aiello is not searching for
perfection in her rock, but imperfection of a remarkable kind: a naturally occurring defect in the diamonds lattice that, if
manipulated properly, gives rise to quantum phenomena.
It is the mind-bending field of quantum mechanics that Brazilian-born Aiello has wanted to understand more than any other thing.
A fifth year Nuclear Science and Engineering (NSE) graduate student, she developed an early fascination with the field after reading
Richard Feynmans classic Caltech lectures as a freshman in college. In spite of a professed weakness in math, she pursued this
branch of physics through an international education that included the Ecole Polytechnique and the University of Cambridge.
Today, Aiello is exploring new dimensions of quantum mechanics through a research project with NSE Professor Paola Cappellaro. In
2009, they set out to investigate and exploit the so-called Nitrogen-Vacancy center defect in diamond (N-V center), a routine
anomaly where a vacancy is adjacent to a substitutional nitrogen atom in the carbon lattice. We started with nothing but an empty
room and had to fill it with machines, screws, all the components that make our experiments possible, says Aiello. Creating the lab
was both arduous and gratifying, she says. Im not scared of building things from scratch anymore, but it takes a hell of a long time.
Now equipped with a home-built confocal microscope, an oscillation-damping table, microwave sources, and lasers, Aiello explores
some of the N-V centers most intriguing attributes, such as its capacity to fluoresce when struck with light. But the real kicker, says
Aiello, is that by carefully targeting the defect with photons, it is possible to create a quantum effect in a single electron. This is the
weird idea that an electrons energy can be in both a 0 and a 1 state at the same time, she explains unlike the binary and
mutually exclusive, 0 or 1, positions of an ordinary computer bit.
The quantum bit scientists generate in the N-V center may lead to a revolution in computing because calculations are shown to
speed up if your bit can co-exist in both energy states, says Aiello. And there is another advantage: the quantum effect in diamond
enabling this acceleration functions at room temperature. Aiellos lab is currently focused on ways of controlling the environment
around the defect via microwave and laser photons so that the electron lives longer than half a millisecond or so in its quantum
state, potentially performing a greater number of calculations.
Playing with the defect using photons of different wavelengths, you can sort of tell it how to behave, says Aiello. This is when you
can start thinking about crazy things with real-life applications such as using the N-V defect to sense tiny magnetic fields in
biological systems. If you could functionalize diamonds, attach them to body cells, you could be doing fun stuff such as watching
how synapses evolve or impulses work in the brain, says Aiello. A nano-sized diamond probe with its capacity to measure spins
changes in single electrons would be significantly more sensitive than current imaging techniques, which need to read the fields of
millions of spins. While Aiellos lab is not on the practical end of the chain, she is creating clever methods for people who can
develop a robust, practical device.
There are flashes of satisfaction in the long, long research days: You suddenly see a quantum signal, or manipulate a quantum
object, and you think, this cant be true, its so delicate yet it lives in our lab. While Aiello hopes to continue work in quantum
mechanics in the next phase of her academic career, she also revels in teaching and igniting a passion for science in others. I go
crazy if I only do research, she says, so in the ideal world, I will find some niche solving my humble quantum mechanics problems,
mixing theory and experiment, and helping students become not just accomplished researchers, but better people

10 TALLEST BRIDGES I N THE W ORLD

One of the greatest achievements of human beings is the construction of highest bridges in the world. This indicates the
greatest engineering work of highly competent experts in the world and also conveys a message that nothing is
impossible. These bridges are wonderful and amazing structures that are made to connect to place in very high condition.
One of the problems with the height is the gravity itself. Following are the 10 highest bridges of the world.
The Millau Viaduct, is a cable stayed road bridge that spans the valley of the River Tam near Millau in southern France. It is
the tallest bridge in the world with an impressive height of 343.0 meters (1,125 ft) a little shorter then the Empire State building
and taller then Eiffel tower. This massive structure has even been featured in the National Geographic show
Megastructures. The Construction cost was approximately 400 million Euros and it was formally opened to traffic on 16
December 2004. The bridge has received IABSE Outstanding Structure Award in 2006.

Many organizations look at System Design primarily as the preparation of the system component
specifications; however, constructing the various system components is only one of a set of major steps in
successfully building a system. The preparation of the environment needed to build the system, the testing of
the system, and the migration and preparation of the data that will ultimately be used by the system are
equally important. In addition to designing the technical solution, System Design is the time to initiate
focused planning efforts for both the testing and data preparation activities.

Architectural design 3
In the United Kingdom, PV systems are installed on both existing houses and new build houses. On the renovated
houses (Sackville Street, Fernside, Primrose Hill), a retrofit PV mounting system was used. The new-build houses
all have roof integrated PV systems. At the Titanic Mill development, due to strict regulations for historic
buildings, the PV is installed in the inner roof valleys of the building, so it isnt visible.
In the German local project in Dorsten, the PV systems are integrated into the roofs. In the other two projects,
PV modules are installed on top of the roof.
Pictures of the designs can be found in the regarding chapters.

The Big Bang Theory

As technology made deeper glimpses into space possible,
scientists have gathered exciting clues about how the Universe
might have begun. Today, many scientists agree that the facts
support one possible explanation, the big bang theory.
According to the big bang theory, the entire universe started out
as a clump of dense, hot matter. About 15 billion years ago, this
clump shattered in a huge explosion that sent pieces of matter
zooming in all directions. As these pieces flew apart, they formed

When did the galaxies stop flying apart and settle into place? They
havent! According to the big bang theory, the universe has been
expanding since the moment it began.

1-The universe

In the Milky Way Galaxy, a supernova explosion left behind a

cloud of gas and dust enriched with all the known elements.
About 4.6 billion years ago, gravity caused that cloud to collapse
into a ball at the centre that became the sun. Chunks of the
remaining materials in the cloud began to rotate and collide,
forming larger bodies that finally became planets. Astronomers
think many other stars have orbiting planets that were formed in
the same way.

The big bang theory is an exciting idea. But how could anyone
ever find evidence to support a theory that explains how galaxies
far beyond the Milky Way Galaxy are drifting apart because of an
event that happened 15 billion years ago?

CLASSIFICATION OF FORGING P ROCESSES
Forging processes can be classified by the degree to which the flow of the material is constrained during the process. There are three major
classifications in forging manufacture. Open die forging, in which the work is compressed between two die that do not constrain the work
during the process. Impression die forging, cavities within the die restrict metal flow during compression of the part, causing the material
to deform into a desired geometric shape. Some material in impression die forging is not constrained by the cavities and flows outward
from the die, this material is called flash. In industrial forging a subsequent trimming operation will be performed to remove the flash. The
third type of forging is flashless forging. In flashless forging manufacture the entire work piece is contained within the die in such a way
that no material can flow out of the die cavity during the compression of the part, hence no flash is produced.

How Cars Are Made

The process of planning, manufacturing and distributing cars is a lengthy and detailed
one. From the first inspiration to your drive away, a lot of thought, effort and money go
into producing the world's most famous, unique and popular cars.
Planning starts 3 to 4 years in advance and goals are made with consideration of what
customers will want and how society will change in the future. Careful attention must be
paid to what people's lifestyles and preferences will be in the future.
Once these needs are determined sketches of the cars are prepared, with detail paid to
the outside shape and inside shape and colour. After these sketches are finalised,
computer generated 3D images are made and actual clay size models are made. From
these models a single design is chosen and further designs are created for the interior and
exterior furnishings. Designs are also created for the basic functions of the car such as the
engine and brakes. Prototypes are then made to the design and different tests are
performed to ensure the safety of the car.
The production of the car usually follows a standard process:

Stamping - The steel sheet is cut according to the size of the part and is bent and
cut in a stamping machine.
Welding - The stamped parts are heated and melted to be joined together.
Painting - The cars are painted with 3 coats.
Making the Engine - Parts are made by casting and forging. These parts are then
used to assemble the engine and suspension.
Assembly - The parts are attached according to the customer's orders.
Inspections - These are made on the brakes, windshield wipers and other parts.

Once all of these steps are completed, the cars are shipped to destinations around the
world. They are then distributed for sale through the internet and car yards, and for hire
through car rental companies.

Your telescope is designed to give you years of fun and rewarding observations. However, there are a few things to consider
before using your telescope that will ensure your safety and protect your equipment.

Warning
Never look directly at the sun with the naked eye or with a telescope (unless you have the proper solar

filter). Permanent and irreversible eye damage may result.

Never use your telescope to project an image of the sun onto any surface. Internal heat build-up can
damage the telescope and any accessories attached to it.
Never use an eyepiece solar filter or a Herschel wedge. Internal heat build-up inside the telescope can
cause these devices to crack or break, allowing unfiltered sunlight to pass through to the eye.
Never leave the telescope unsupervised, either when children are present or adults who may not be
familiar with the correct operating

Setting up the Tripod

The CGE Pro tripod comes with an all metal center leg brace / accessory tray to give rock solid support to the mount. The
tripod comes fully assembled with a metal plate, called the tripod head that holds the legs together at the top. In addition,
there is a central rod that extends down from the tripod head that attaches the accessory tray between the legs. To set up
the tripod:
1. Stand the tripod upright and pull the tripod legs apart until each leg is fully extended. The tripod will now stand by itself.
Once the tripod is set up, you can adjust the height at which it stands.
2. Loosen the lever on the leg clamp so that the tripod leg can be adjusted.
3. Slide the center portion of the tripod leg away from the tripod head until it is at the desired height.
4. Tighten the levers on each leg clamp to hold the legs in place.
5. Once that it is fully assembled, rotate the tripod so that one of the legs is pointing roughly towards north.

To infinitive

El infinitivo ingls va normalmente precedido de la partcula 'to':

To be / ser
To run / correr
To speak / hablar
El infinitivo expresa el significado del verbo de una manera general, sin referencia a tiempo alguno.
Adems del infinitivo simple, como 'to speak', tambin hay infinitivos progresivo ('to be speaking'), perfectos ('to have spoken') y pasivos
('to be spoken')

The nature of energy
The question about what carries the energy seems to be linked to a common conception that energy is like matter: put it in
one end of a pipe and watch it come out the other end. At a truly basic level energy is not like that; it is just an abstract
attribute of a system that, when calculated in appropriate ways, always turns out to be conserved.
There are two valid schools of thought about how one should conceptualise energy and energy transfer, that I will call the
accountants model and the field model.
The accountants view energy solely as a mathematical attribute of physical systems, and it does not need any kind of
conceptual model beyond that. They will tell you that it is a mistake to think of energy as a kind of substance. It is just an
abstract quantity that, when you calculate it properly, always tallies. In this conceptual model energy is nothing like matter, it
is just a mathematical abstraction that expresses some aspects of the behaviour of the natural world. In the case of our
circuit the accountants will answer: Who says that anything has to carry the energy? Thats the wrong question, because all
we have to do is account for changes in energy in a kind of balance sheet the precise location of the energy is not important
and may be unknowable. The accountants attitude is in the same tradition of thinking as the idea of action at a distance in
which, for example, we dont seek to understand how Earths gravity can reach out and grab the Moon (and vice versa). We
just accept as a fact that it does. Similarly we dont ask where the potential energy of the Earth-Moon system might be; it just
belongs to the system. Taking the same conceptual view, it is grossly incorrect to talk of the PE of an electron.Science
If we apply this whole-system, action-at-a distance, model to our simple circuit the question of precisely how energy gets out
of the battery and into the globe is not answerable. End of story
