An illusion Created by Newton
In 1907, in the patent office in Bern, the capital of Switzerland, a young man was sitting at his desk, seeming to be thinking about a dilemma haunting him, and he saw from the opposite window some workers, working on the opposite building, and imagined them falling from the roof of the house to the ground.

High Energy Bills Pushes More Disabled People In To Poverty
Disabled people in the UK are facing an almost impossible choice between heating their homes or finding the right food that they need to survive. The cost of energy has been rising month after month and due to problems with the supply of raw materials from Russia or Ikraine. Ever since Russia invaded and countries from Western Europe have come to their defence, Rissia has threatened retaliation by created problems in the supply of crude oil and other raw materials. People who receive benefits to help with their every day essentials or care needs may find that they may have to give up other essential services in order to be able to afford the things that they need to survive. The increase in the cost of energy can have many different causes, the majority of which can stem from Russia's special military operation with Ukraine.

Alternative Energy: Renewable Fuels
When it comes to renewable fuel sources, the Germans have really taken off, and they've become one of the big participants in the alternative energy business. The German people established a global record in 2006 by investing over $10 billion (US) in research, development, and deployment of wind turbines, biogas power plants, and solar gathering cells under the auspices of the country's electricity feed legislation. Germany's "feed rules" allow German houses to connect to the electrical grid using renewable energy and then sell any excess energy produced back to the power company at retail pricing. This financial incentive has propelled Germany to the top of the world in terms of the number of operating solar arrays, biogas plants, and wind turbines.These renewable energy sources create 50 terawatt hours of power each year, accounting for 10% of Germany's total energy production. Germany deployed 100,000 solar energy harvesting installations in 2006.
