...1. When the body depletes its salt and water supplies, sweating stops and heat loss by evaporation of sweat is blocked. 2. Mark has lost a great deal of his electrolytes through sweating earlier in the day containing sodium, potassium, calcium, chloride and bicarbonate. All aid in the ability for the body to maintain homeostasis and muscle control. 3. During a heat stroke, your body is unable to properly cool itself. When it is unable to cool itself, the core body temperature rises rapidly.When the core temperature rises, the brain begins to fail. (The brain can only function in a very narrow temperature range). As the brain overheats, the individual will become disoriented, combative, argumentative and may hallucinate. 4. Due to the growth, change of color and bleeding these are all first signs of melanoma. He should have them looked at by the dermatologist. The Dr. will more than likely take a biopsy of the mole. All potentially cancerous skin growths must be biopsied to confirm acancer diagnosis. Depending on the suspected type of skin cancer, the biopsy techniques vary slightly but crucially. Any potential melanoma requires a surgical biopsy, in which the entire growth is removed with a scalpel if possible. A pathologist then studies the sample under a microscope to determine whether cancer cells are present. If melanoma is diagnosed, other tests may be ordered to assess the degree of cancer spread (metastasis). They include: Imaging. Your doctor will order one...

...The Lost Tribe of Antiquity An explorer named Abel Cookman had finished his adventure and discovered a lost ancient tribe which he called ‘Antiquity’. He felt amazed by the language of this tribe, and so he made a lot of notes about this lost civilization. Unfortunately, he died, but he left the notes for an investigation of this mysterious tribe. This essay will discuss the geography and location, family, political, economic and trade and culture of Antiquity. Geography and location In the notes, Abel mentioned three dominant geographical terms, designating ‘undulating hills’, ‘dry river bed’, ‘expansive sand dunes’. However, there were no words for ‘snow’ and ‘ice’. What’s more, ‘no terms for fish, pork or veal.’ It suggests that the tribe might have been located in the desert. There are lots of sand dunes in the desert and they might be unable to see the end of the desert. In addition, he mentioned that there were no words for ‘ocean’, but several for fresh water were ‘spring’, ‘oasis’ and ‘water hole’. They didn’t have ‘ocean’ in their language. So, it is likely that they had never seen the ocean. The word ‘water diviner’ stood for praise, therefore it is possible this person would be respected by the people of the tribe as they could find water. Also, palm trees appeared in the notes. Palm trees usually live in a desert and they are important plants and fruits in sub-tropical and arid regions. What’s more, ‘camel’, ‘rat’, ‘goat’, ‘heat’ and ‘dryness’ appeared in the...

... the participants of Duke of Edinburgh, I being one of them, were sent to Thumamah Desert located on the outskirts of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The purpose of Duke of Edinburgh is to give students a taste of how it feels like to live in nature and away from the modern world. Experiencing the climb of sharp and hilly mountains, learning how to use a GPS and how to calculate bearings as well as timings. Duke of Edinburgh was a wonderful experience for me, it also gave me a good excuse to spend two days with my friends! A desert is a massive land where little precipitation occurs and living conditions are hostile for plant and animal life. A desert is formed by weathering processes as large variations in temperature between day and night put strains on the rocks which consequently break in pieces. Our aim, as the group, was to find out how fossils were produced in the desert. After doing a lot of research and exploring, we came up with a conclusion that these desert fossils were produced a very, very long time ago when the ground was covered with sea. As years went by, water dissolved leaving all the plants and sea shells behind as well as the seabed. This then turned into desert and all the sea shells turned into fossils. There is evidence that this desert was covered by sea because when we were walking, we observed wave strokes on sand and in some parts the sand was weaker than others. A desert is packed with adventures and obstacles for people to challenge. Our group had experienced...

...In our performance, we are going to be doing the story of Julio, an immigrant who has been deported from the United States seven times and has snuck back in just as many times to small Central Valley farming town. In his story, Julio relates how during one of his treks back to the States he finds himself lost and stranded in the middle of the Mojave Desert and had to survive all the way back to civilization. The audience is going to be laying down in our performance. They will be representing the past immigrants who attempted the trek across the desert and didn’t make it. They will be laying on their sides so they will be able to see the performer themselves try to make it through the hardship and walk through a pathway of death. We hope that by setting up the audience in such a way, the audience will understand the seriousness of the situation. They will understand that Julio’s...

...The problem is that there are millions of people living in an area that it is difficult to live because of the desert climate and lack of water. The Colorado River is drying up because there is a major drought going on in the southwest. Residents and business are using the Colorado River and aquifers unsustainably. The area has lost million of gallons of water that cannot be replaced. The future for the southwest depends on a way to secure a reliable water supply for the future. The dryer climate will produce more wildfire in the southwest. The droughts are expected to become hotter and more severe. The things that can be done to improve the conditions in the southwest are farther documenting water usage. There needs to be a way to be able to budget the water usage. Water recycling plants and desolation plants need to be built to reuse and produce more water. Lastly people need to remove plants that do not belong in desert climates and stop using water on unessential things. People need to become aware that the issue on water shortage is more realistic than led to believe. The problems that surround this limiting resource are practically unknown to the general population of the United States. America needs to help come up with a solution to these problems...

...My journey began early monday morning around 7:00 A.M. at my sisters' house, Sara, in the coastal city of Newport Beach, California. Along with her was her husband, Jeremy, their two sons Sklyer and Logan, and myself. We were packing our belonging into their new vehicle to prepare for a trip to Jeremys' parents' house in the Mojave Desert. As we began to drive away i noticed all the lush green grass, the palm trees that seemed as tall as any building, and all the people outside carring on their lives. Then i glazed at the sparkling water in the ocean and thought how difficult it must be to live in desert conditions. Residents of the Mojave desert must live a more resislient life than most. We started out in bumper to bumper traffic on the highway. Hearing the sounds of car horns and motorists passing by i decided to play a movie to kill some time on our long voyage. It was shortly after the movie ended that we entered Barstow, California. The last source of gas and civilization for the next 40 miles. I gazed around noticing that this is the begining of the desert with a lack of plant life except for small patches of weeds and cactus. And i wondered what kind of place are we going to that is this sucluded from society. Skyler and Logan asleep from being bored from constantly watching nothing but miles and miles of sand, stone, cactus, and brushes, are awoken when we came upon a borax mine museum next to the actual mining pits that are still being used to this day...

...killing a large mass of people for no valid reason. The Holocaust was a genocide where the Nazi Germans tried to eliminate the Jews from Germany from 1939-1945. The Nazi Germans believed that the Jews were the reason Germany lost World War 1 and wanted them to pay for what they did. The Armenian genocide was where the Turkish people in the Ottoman Empire desired a homogenous Turkish state and wanted to get rid of the Armenians from 1915-1918. Although the Holocaust and the Armenian genocide are similar in their horrible dehumanization and unjust polarization stages, each genocide exterminated its people differently....

...The Little Prince plot The narrator, an airplane pilot, crashes in the Sahara desert. The crash badly damages his airplane and leaves the narrator with very little food or water. As he is worrying over his predicament, he is approached by the little prince, a very serious little blond boy who asks the narrator to draw him a sheep. The narrator obliges, and the two become friends. The pilot learns that the little prince comes from a small planet that the little prince calls Asteroid 325 but that people on Earth call Asteroid B-612. The little prince took great care of this planet, preventing any bad seeds from growing and making sure it was never overrun by baobab trees. One day, a mysterious rose sprouted on the planet and the little prince fell in love with it. But when he caught the rose in a lie one day, he decided that he could not trust her anymore. He grew lonely and decided to leave. Despite a last-minute reconciliation with the rose, the prince set out to explore other planets and cure his loneliness. While journeying, the narrator tells us, the little prince passes by neighboring asteroids and encounters for the first time the strange, narrow-minded world of grown-ups. On the first six planets the little prince visits, he meets a king, a vain man, a drunkard, a businessman, a lamplighter, and a geographer, all of whom live alone and are overly consumed by their chosen occupations. Such strange behavior both amuses and perturbs the little prince. He does not understand...

...Although growing most flowers involves careful tending and preparation, requiring a delicate combination of water, food and sunlight to survive - some flowers amazingly grow in the desert. Desert flowers can thrive and spawn beautiful landscapes even amidst the harshest of environmental conditions. Surviving blistering heat and sun, arid, dehydration and a host of other hardships, these flowers can awe visitors, who after driving through miles of isolation cannot believe their eyes when they arrive upon this amazing anomaly of life and fertility. Much like these inspiring creatures, my origins could be described by some as dismal, maybe even stifling. Being the daughter of a mother and father who grew up in poverty, I lost my father to H.I.V. and my mother and I overcame various obstacles throughout my life, including living with domestic violence, sexual abuse, unstable housing and other trials that made it difficult to look forward to a positive future. As a child, I was never sure where to turn to for inspiration and I struggled to meet expectations in school. Subsequently, I was diagnosed with a learning disability in reading and writing, and it became increasingly hard for me to believe in myself, without many personal successes to draw from. But even in the arid desert some flowers still survive, and through the encouragement of my grandparents and reading teacher, I pressed on, and by late elementary school I was able to overcome these challenges begin feeling my first...
