Poe said, "If any literary work is too long to be read at one sitting, we must be content to dispense with the immensely important effect derivable from unity of impression - for, if two sittings be required, the affairs of the world interfere, and every thing like totality is at once destroyed" (May 129). Thus, length was the very key to ... in Poe's writing. As May says, "The single unifying factor in all of Poe's works is the concept of unity itself" (11). Poe was deeply concerned with the relationship of words and their "effect" on the reader.

Sometimes the hot water is used directly for home, and sometimes greenhouse, heating. It is also used to speed up the growth of aquatic animals (aquaculture). II. Dependency on Geothermal Energy Although we (the United States) are not taking advantage of all of the geothermal sources in ... plants. III. Benefits: Energy Efficiency As a result of today's use of geothermal energy, the consumption of nonrenewable resources is slowed down, resulting in subsequent slowing down of acid precipitation and the release of greenhouse gases caused by fossil fuel use. Sources of this type of energy are found in many places on the Earth. Its use has helped developing countries such as the Philippines, Indonesia, and nations in South ... Environment Currently, electrical utilities account for three-quarters of sulfur-dioxide emissions (acid rain), a third of nitrogen-oxide emissions (inducing formation of ground-level ozone, smog), a fifth of the gases linked to the greenhouse effect, and half of all nuclear waste. Geothermal power plants produce much less, if none, of those listed. Geothermal plants also take up very little land space. Things cans be built nearby without fear ...

During this process oxygen is released which is then breathed in by humans and animals ... atmosphere affects the temperature of the planet. As more and more CO2 builds up in the atmosphere, less heat can escape and the planet gets hotter. The CO2 traps radiation from the sun like a greenhouse. This is called global warming or the greenhouse effect. Global warming is becoming a serious problem and CO2 is the major cause. The earth is now warmer than it has been in 1000's of years.

- 209: Adult Education In The U.S

Furthermore, it has been argued that self-regulation has a beneficial effect on academic outcomes (Winne, 1995;Zimmerman & Bandura, 1994). In conclusion, self-direction is seen as a necessary process for achieving worthwhile and meaningful educational outcomes.

Just as proximal (immediate) consequences usually exert greater control over behavior than distal (future) consequences, proximal (current) information about self-efficacy is likely to have a more powerful immediate effect on current self-efficacy than distal (past) information.

However the physical manifestation of the wind can be felt and it’s effect on nature cannot be ignored. The personification of the wind - "thou breath of Autumn’s being"(l.1) - supports its spirituality. This is further illustrated when Shelley explicitly calls the West Wind "Spirit" and a "wild Spirit". Coupled with the elusiveness of the wind to the human eye the effect is that the wind is an "uncontrollable" power that cannot be contained. In the fifth stanza Shelley refers to "the incantation of this verse"(l.65) - this is of pagan origins and he is ...
