PROVA 2014 SSA1 Curiosity is the latest and by far the largest of four NASA rovers.
In 1997 Sojourner, the smallest and simplest, proved that Mars
roving was possible. Spirit and Opportunity analyzed rocks,
confirming evidence from orbiters that large amounts of water
had once been present on Mars. (Opportunity is still roving
after nine years and 22 miles.) Curiosity can drill into rocks
and scoop the powder into an onboard chemical lab. It’s looking
not just for water but also for ancient environments where
microbes could have lived. “We are not searching for life itself;
that would take instruments even more advanced than
Curiosity’s. Its job is to help us figure out where a future
mission should look for life”, says John Grotzinger, Caltech
geologist and chief scientist for the Curiosity mission.

community’s needs.

What about conflict?


Conflict happens. One of cohousing’s greatest strengths is the
assumption that members can work out their disagreements.
Most cohousing communities use consensus decision-making,
which tends to satisfy most residents and give them a sense of
participation on challenging issues. Some communities convene
a conflict-resolution team when a particularly hot issue arises.
Because many cohousing residents are seeking a collaborative
and cooperative environment, disagreements are often worked
out to the satisfaction of all involved. Cohousing residents share
the common goal of making their lives more enjoyable by
cooperating with their neighbors.

(B)
You can go green in a variety of different ways, but builders and
construction workers must do their part as well. If you haven‟t
begun going green, then you will find that there are a variety of
different things you can do to help you get started. You don‟t
have to jump in head first, and you can actually take some baby
steps along the way. Green buildings are designed in such a way
to reduce overall impact on environment and human health by:
1. Reducing trash, pollution and degradation of environment.
2. Efficiently using energy, water and other resources.
3. Protecting occupant health and improving productivity.

(C)
Some people feel that they just can‟t go green because it will
cost them more money, but that is really a common
misconception. While it may cost you a bit more to get started
when you are going green, because green materials and
products can be more expensive, you really have to consider the
type of savings you will be able to reap. You will be able to save
on energy costs, because going green also means conserving
energy. You should really look at the green building as more of
an investment than anything else. An investment that will be
able to save your money, as well as an investment that will be
able to help the environment! It is a win-win situation for
everyone! (…)
