...ability to work as part of a team. My participation in the Duke of Edinburgh bronze Award has further developed my skills to be able to work in a group. During expeditions we struggled and had trouble navigating towards our final destination, it was extremely important for us to work together as a team to find a solution and to go on and achieve our goal. An example where I worked as a leader and shown my leadership skills would be in my role as a guide at a pathfinder scouting group that I have been with for 6 years and been a guide for 2 years. Within the group I would organize meetings and what would be done within the meetings so, the activities that would be taking place. This role as a guide presents me with the opportunity to interact with younger age groups. I have also helped the pathfinder group with camps which required me to think on my feet as well as being practical, this included me guiding the younger ranks on hikes and sometimes leading the group in drilling and exercise classes. Working with the pathfinders and adapting to their way of thinking has been a challenge for me, but this challenge has helped me enjoy being a...

The Pathfinder Club is a church-centered spiritual-recreational-activity based program which provides an outlet for the spirit of adventure and exploration that is found in every junior youth. This includes carefully tailored activities in outdoor living, nature exploration, crafts, hobbies, or vocations beyond the possibilities in an average Adventist Junior Youth Society. It is filled with action, adventure, challenge, group activities, and provides opportunities for the development of new activities and skills that produce personal growth, team or community spirit and a sense of loyalty and respect for God, His creation, and His Church. With this given setting, spiritual emphasis is well received, and the Pathfinder Club has well demonstrated its soul winning influence. In many local churches Pathfinder Clubs have replaced the traditional Adventist Junior Youth society, and where there is a church school the Pathfinder Club should supplement the work of the Adventist Junior Youth Society. Pathfinders in ActionA sampling of activities in the Pathfinder Club includes camporees, fairs, craft study, nature exploration, Bible Study, witnessing projects, field trips, and many other interesting adventures. Youth from ages 10-15 (and older) are eligible...

...Irvin Painters novel "Sojorner Truth: A Life, A Symbol", is a book about one of the most influential and important black women of the nineteenth century. The story of a slave turned legend and the basis of her representation of the freedoms that African Americans struggled to gain. Painter digs deep into the history of Truth, giving in depth information about how this once female slave turned herself into a leading woman in the abolitionist movement. The text is better illustrated by Painters use of illustrations to strengthen his points, giving the biography a little more of a novel feel to it in terms of reading. One of the things that Painter did well was the use of in depth research and use of different sources to be able to tell the truth from fiction. Nell Irvin Painter is the author behind the book, and has published over seven books to this date and has held positions such as the President of the Organizations of American Historians. The book itself was published in 1996, as a way to hopefully fill in some of the gaps in Truths life and kill some of the misguided myths that were told about her in past times. The facts about Truth are very scarce to the academic world, born Isabella Van Wagenen sometime during the late 1700's, she successfully somehow managed to get her freedom by 1826. She changed her Christian name to Sojourner Truth and started her preaching life, being one of the highest respected and sought after speaker for the abolitionist and feminist movement...

...summer of 2003 we sent two rovers to Mars. These rovers where sent to Mars to give NASA a better understanding of the climate and water on Mars. With the technology that the Mars Rovers had it was like we were sending up two geologists. Spirit was the first rover to be sent off to Mars and it left June 10th, 2003 and landed January 3rd, 2004. It would be followed by Opportunity which was sent off on July 7th, 2003 and landed January 24th, 2004. NASA’s original goal for the rovers was very easy. They just wanted them to travel 40 meters in 1 day and to travel a total of 1 kilometer total. These rovers did that and a whole lot more and are currently still going. The design of these rovers came from the basic design of the 1997 Mars Pathfinder Mission. The rovers are identical they have 6 wheels and good suspension for driving over some harsh Mars surfaces. It has solar panels for its energy and also has radioisotope heater units for when the rover does not get a lot of sunlight. Each rover weighs 174 kilograms, is 1.6 meters long, and is 1.5 meters tall. The rovers also had a lot of heavy duty airbags for landing. These were very necessary because if any little piece broke it could affect the whole mission. The rovers also included different tools that would study the rocks and the surface of Mars to decide if there had ever been water on the planet. These tools consisted of a panoramic camera that helped the scientist from NASA move the rover around. It would look...

...Jordan Desai Professor Mayes Planetary Science 200 23 September 2015 Comparing Three Mars Rovers Mars is not easy to reach or explore. Nearly two-thirds of all missions have failed. However, in recent years, the United States has had more success landing rovers. Of recent missions, two rovers essentially crash-landed in a cocoon of airbags and one soft-landed. The first lander, Sojourner, part of the Mars Pathfinder mission, was about the size of a milk crate and weighed 33 pounds. It landed using airbags on July 4, 1997, and stayed active 10 times longer than scheduled. The next missions were the twin rovers Spirit and Opportunity, which were launched a few weeks apart and landed on opposite sides of the planet in the summer of 2003, also using airbag technology (NASA 1) . They both were the size of golf carts and outlasted their scheduled missions many times over. Curiosity landed in August 2012 and is the largest and most ambitious rover. The size and mass of a Mini Cooper, it survived a complex soft landing (Gibson 289). Curiosity also supports the most complex science, containing drills, lasers, and a small analytical laboratory. Curiosity can communicate with Earth in three ways. First, Curiosity can engage in direct communication from the rover to Earth’s Deep Space Network. Second, Curiosity can use a fast relay via the orbiting Mars Odyssey spacecraft. Finally, Curiosity can utilize a slow relay to communicate via the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. The scientific...
