Jobs Leading Nature Trips Abroad

Summer Programs Seek Experienced Leaders

(Article and photo by Erica Rounsefell)

Summer wilderness programs for teenagers are expanding both domestically and abroad, and tour companies are eager to hire responsible, enthusiastic trip leaders and instructors. Eligibility requirements vary by program, but most require experience working with teenagers and certification in First Aid, CPR, and Wilderness First Responder. Programs involving marine expeditions often mandate SCUBA or sailing experience, while opportunities abroad frequently require language skills and experience in the host country. Most successful applicants have previous outdoor leadership experience. Some programs require training prior to departure. The majority of positions are filled by March or April for the following summer.

[1]  How do I get paid?

All money generated by click throughs or customers signing on with a program are fed

into a database on the affiliated advertisers site and tallied automatically (1). The

affiliated advertiser transfers, wires, mails the any money earned once an amount of

[5] $50 or more has been collected.

I only want certain types of ads on my site

With most affiliate advertisers you can determine exactly what kinds of ads appear on

your site. The upside is you have more control, the down side is it is more labor

intensive managing the ads. When an ad is automatically generated, as is the case with

[10]  Google AdSence, the nature of the ad depends on the content of your page where (2)

the ad is located. This means you have little or no control over the contents of the ads

other than the content of your web page.

It must (3) be hard to put the ads or banners up on the site

In most cases it is a matter of cutting (4) the advertising code from the affiliated

[15]  advertisers site and paste into (5) your web page. No messing with images or writing

copy for the advertisments.

2012’s Second Sun

[1] Earth is believed to be getting a second sun burning in the sky near the end of 2012, as the

second biggest star in the universe, Betelgeuse, is dying, which will lead to “multiple days

of constant daylight”.

Many ancient cultures have speculated about the appearance of a second sun and this

[5] event appears to tie in very closely with the December 21 2012 predictions.

Betelgeuse is the second biggest star in the universe and the eighth brightest in the night

sky, Scientists have determined that the star is losing mass at a rapid rate, which indicates

it will go supernova very soon.

The light emitted from this exploding star will be so bright that it will appear for a few

[10] weeks at the end of 2012 as a second sun in the sky. There may be little if no period of

darkness or night according to senior lecturer of physics at the University of Southern

Queensland, Brad Carter.

Earth will experience “brightness for a brief period of time for a couple of weeks and then

over the coming months it begins to fade and then eventually it will be very hard to see at

[15] all”, explained the Australian scientist Brad Carter to news.com.au.

Scientist have known about this dying star which is 640 light years away from Earth, since

2005. It is believed that as Betelgeuse goes supernova it will not be harmful to Earth.

“There will be neutrinos emitted during the supernova process, said University of

Minnesota physics professor Priscilla Cushman, but neutrinos, even lots and lots of them,

[20] are only weakly interacting, so they won't affect life on earth”, but that is only speculation

at this point.

The fact is, we as human beings have never experienced anything like this before so close

to our home planet, and to be honest, we just don’t know for sure what this event could

bring.
