Ireland's

Achill

Island

has

always

been

a

popular

European

tourist

destination.

However,

since

April,

the

small

island

of

just

2,600

residents

(

居民

)

has

gained

worldwide

fame

thanks

to

the

magical return of a beach that was washed away aver three decades

ago.

The chain of events began in 1984 when residents of Dooagh,

one

of

the

five

settlements

on

the

island,

awoke

to

a

surprising

sight

：

their beautiful sandy beach had been washed away by strong

Atlantic storms. There were only rocks and rock pools left. For 34

years,

only

small

amounts

of

sand

returned

to

the

once

unspoiled

shores. The area's tourism industry slowly declined, and the handful

of beachside hotels, pubs, and restaurants gradually closed as well.

Then,

around

Easter

last

year,

something

magical

happened

—

an unusual ten-day tide blanketed the barren 300-meter

long rock beach with hundreds of tons of soft golden sand. Scientists

suspect

that

the

sand

had

been

gathering

offshore

for

months

and

was transported to the beach by the high winds and powerful waves.

The locals are delighted to have their beach back, especially as

it is attracting thousands of visitors wishing to witness the power of

nature,

with

their

own

eyes.

However,

Seas

Molloy,

manager

of

Achill tourism, cautions against going into the cold waters just yet,

saying,

beach is now because currents(

洋流

)could be changed and it'll take a

little

bit

of

time.

He

instead

recommends

visitors

enjoy

the

soft

sand and leave the swimming to the dolphins that frequent the area.

Interestingly, this is not the first time Dooagh Beach has pulled

a disappearing and reappearing act. It disappeared in the 1890s, for

over

30

years,

before

returning

in

1927.

However,

the

locals

are

optimistic that this time around, the beautiful sand is here to stay.

I

out

college

after

my

freshman

year.

Three

years

later, I quit a dead-end job and returned to college. I saw school as

my way out.

But I quickly found myself facing the same roadblocks that had

caused me to quit before

：

I was confused with college-level algebra

and a heavy workload of reading and writing assignments. Moreover,

I was unsure of my career direction. I was ready to drop out again.

I graduated from that college and went on to get my bachelor's

degrees. Today, as a college instructor, each fall when I stand in front

of

a

new

class,

I

think

and

pep talk, but she made a huge difference in my life.

Flat Holm is a picturesque landmass located in Britain's Bristol

Channel. The area's low energy needs have therefore been fulfilled

using old-fashioned solar panels(

板

)and a diesel generator(

柴油发电

机

).

The

beautiful

island

is

now,

however,

becoming

increasingly

popular with tourists wishing to explore the rural landscape and view

the island's seabird colonies.

Though

this

is

welcome

news,

meeting

the

island's

growing

energy needs without damaging its environment has a challenge. Flat

Holm team leader Natalie Taylor says,

have a really high functioning system. From an environmental point

of view, we want to reduce

the use of diesel generators so that we

can have as small all ecological footprint as possible.

Fortunately,

UK-based

startup

Renovagen

had

the

perfect

solution.

The

company's

Rapid

Roll

Solar

PV

system

consists

of

flexible

solar

panels

that

can

be

unrolled

like

a

carpet

from

a

trailer(

拖车

)and instantly put to work. According to the company, a

small panel can provide 11kw of power within two minutes.

The

technology

is

the

brainchild

of

Renovagen's

Managing

Director

John

Hingley,

who

came

up

with

the

idea

after

seeing

something

used

as

a

backup

battery

for

mobile

devices

about

five

years ago. In addition to being easy to unfold, the rollable panels are

also more cost-effective to transport. Hingley says,

traditional rigid panels, we can fit up to 10 times the power in this

size container.

The solar panel

being

used

to

provide

electricity

to

its

pub

and

lighthouse.

In

addition

to

providing

power

to

remote

islands

like

Flat

Holm,

Hingley

hopes

the

Rapid

Roll

technology

will

be

useful

in

areas

affected by natural disasters. A good example is Puerto Rico, where

most

people

have

been

without

electricity

since

Hurricane

Maria

destroyed the power lines.
