4.4 Mechanical Design The main design strategy while designing the mechanical structure to mount the solar panel was to keep the design as simple as possible to avoid any complications. Aside from avoiding any complications, the design needed to allow for dual-axial rotation. This was accomplished by allowing the base that the panel is mounted on to rotate about its vertical axis, then elevate the panel off the base perpendicular to the vertical axis and allow it to pivot along its center.

If I had a dollar for every time I’ve had to smile politely or laugh awkwardly when a stranger hurled a cliché in my direction, I’d be quite wealthy. It’s not easy being a firefighter. It’s definitely not easy being a female firefighter; however, being a woman in the fire service is rewarding despite its challenges. Among the challenges, it is my…

Toledo’s day to teach, so we sparred, like every other time he taught us. We put on our sparring gear, except for our body protector, because it was too bulky and restricted our movements.

The thought of going to boot camp scares many people off from military service. To me it was just another part of the journey I was about to undertake in a long career of military service. I showed up to the Columbus, Ohio Military Entry Process Station on a cold November morning at 430 am before the sun started to peek about the horizon.
