Ember Development
Once an ember in the tinder is lit, it is transferred to a larger tinder such as a bundle of dried grass and then blown gently until a flame is created. Then it is necessary to put this lit bundle on the ground, after which small twigs and other small kindling are placed above it, then successively larger pieces of fuel.

Famous quotes containing the words ember and/or development:
“Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December,
And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.
Eagerly I wished the morrow;Mvainly I had sought to borrow
From my books surcease of sorrow—sorrow for the lost Lenore—”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
“Somehow we have been taught to believe that the experiences of girls and women are not important in the study and understanding of human behavior. If we know men, then we know all of humankind. These prevalent cultural attitudes totally deny the uniqueness of the female experience, limiting the development of girls and women and depriving a needy world of the gifts, talents, and resources our daughters have to offer.”
—Jeanne Elium (20th century)
