Sixth Location

The lake I am visiting is the Caspian Sea, which is in Iran, a country of Asia. The capital of Iran is Tehran. The countries that border Iran are Azerbaijan, Yerevan, Turkey, Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Turkmenistan. The bodies of water that surround Iran are Persian Gulf, Gulf Of Oman, and Arabian Sea. The GPS coordinates are 40°N 51°E. The climate of the Caspian Sea is a desert climate, which is very hot. The Caspian Sea is very beautiful and looks a lot like a ocean. The history of the Caspian Sea is very interesting, there is a vehicle like object that goes on the waters which is actually a lot like a boat and plane together which is called the Caspian Sea Monster. The Caspian Sea Monster can float on water and also fly. The Caspian Sea is important because it is the largest lake in the world but even though it is called the Caspian "Sea", it is still considered a lake. The Caspian Sea is very far from Lake Dey Dey because Lake Dey Dey is in Australia which is not touching any other continents at all. I got to the Caspian Sea by a plane. It costed somewhere around $3600 for the cost of hotels and planes for all of the locations I went to. I liked the experience of going around the world, visiting different lakes because I learned stuff that I would have never learned before. I learned about the lakes, how they look up close, and what I would have to do to get there. My family is very happy to have me home but is also glad that I went so I could learn more about the worlds lakes.

Fifth Location

Lake Dey Dey is in South Australia. The capital of Australia is Canberra. No countries border Australia because it is a continent surrounded by the waters of the Indian Ocean. It is very hot and humid in Australia. There are lots of beaches and kangaroos there. Dutch explorers first sighted the landmass in the 17th century. Lake Dey Dey is important because Australia is a country and a continent. Lake Dey Dey is very far from Lake Victoria because they are on different continents. I got to Lake Dey Dey by a plane which costed about $500. The only problem I had about going to Lake Dey Dey was that i was so far away from my family. I would say the biggest difference between Lake Dey Dey and Lake Victoria is the size because Lake Dey Dey isn't big at all compared to Lake Victoria.

Forth Location

Lake Victoria is in the country of Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda in Africa. The capital of Tanzania is Dar Es Salaam, the capital of Kenya is Nairobi, and the capital of Uganda is Kampala. the countries that are touching Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda are Mozambique, Malawi, Zambia, Zaire, Sudan, Rwanda, Burundi, Ethiopia, and Somalia. The Indian Ocean is touching them. The GPS coordinates are 1°S 33°E. It doesn't get to hot at Lake Victoria, it usually is around the 20 degrees area. Lake Victoria is very calm and pretty but looks a lot like a Ocean. It is very important because it is one of Africa's great lakes. Lake Victoria is very far from Lake Ladoga because they are on whole different continents. I got to my fourth location by a plane. I would not have any layovers on the way. It will cost around $344, plus the cost of a hotel which could vary anywhere from $100-$60 a night.

Third Location

The Lake I am visiting is Lake Ladoga which is in Russia, a country of Europe. The capital of Russia is Moscow. The countries that surround Russia are Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Belarus, and Ukraine. Russia is touching the Arctic Ocean, Barents Sea, Baltic Sea, and Black Sea. It is usually hot there. Russia looks alot like London, where there are a lot of castle looking buildings and is city-like. From about 1500 BC the Slavs, an Indo-European group, settle in the region of Poland and western Russia. Lake Ladoga is important because it is the largest lake in Europe and the 14th largest in the world. It is very far from Lake Titicaca to Lake Ladoga because they are on different continents. I got to Russia by a airplane. It would cost about $530 for a plane and $ for a hotel. I did have a bit of a problem traveling all the way to Lake Ladoga because it was so far and it was on a different continent. The biggest difference between Lake Ladoga and Lake Titicaca was that they are from different continents and very far away from each other.

Second Location

I would like to visit Lake Titicaca which is on the border of Bolivia and Peru. The capitals of Bolivia are Sucre and La Paz. The capital of Peru is Lima. The countries that surround Bolivia and Peru are Ecuador, Columbia, Brazil, Chile, Argentina, and Paraguay. The body of water that touches Peru is the South Pacific Ocean. The GPS coordinates are 15.836389°S. It is tropical wet and highland in Peru, and tropical wet and dry in Bolivia. Peru has a lot of mountains and Bolivia is mostly calm but both look almost middle ages. The main language of Peru and Bolivia is Spanish. Lake Titicaca is so important because it is one of the highest commercially navigable lakes in the world.

First Location

I would like to visit Lake Winnipesaukee which is in New Hampshire. The capital of New Hampshire is Concord. The states that surround New Hampshire are Maine, Vermont, and Massachusetts. The main body of water that surrounds New Hampshire is the Atlantic Ocean. The GPS coordinates are 43°35′56″N 71°19′23″W. The climate there is fairly warm in the summer and cold in the winter. Lake Winnipesaukee is very large and pretty. The history of Lake Winnipesaukee is that it has been a tourist destination for more than a century, especially for residents escaping the summer heat of Boston and New York City. Lake Winnipesaukee is very important because it is the largest lake in all of New Hampshire.

Personal Information

my avatar is shrimpy4814. I am 13. I am going to visit Florida. I am going to because it is very warm down there and I like to stay warm and it is very cold up here. I am feeling excited about this exploration because I have never been there before. My family is excited for me but they are kind of sad also because they will miss me.

Stages Of Sleep Report

Did you know that every time you sleep your body goes through stages? There are five main stages of sleep which are stage one,stage two, stage three, stage four, and stage five which is known as rapid eye movement, or REM. After all the sleep stages go through in one night, the cycle begins again and so on.

Stages one,two,three,four,and five all happen during the sleep process. Stage one is the first stage which is just a light sleep. Stage two is where around 50% of your time sleeping is spent. Stage three is the first stage of deep sleep. Stage four is the second stage of deep sleep which is similar to stage 3. Stage five is called REM which means rapid eye movement. Stage five is also the stage in which dreaming occurs.

During stage one you experience a drifting in and out of sleep. You can easily be woken up. Your eye movement and body movements slow down. You may also experience sudden jerky movement of your legs and other muscles. The sudden jerks your body gets are known as hypic myoclonia or myoclonic jerks. The jerks give you a feeling of falling which are caused by the motor areas of the brain being spontaneously. During stage two, eye movement and your brain waves become slower. Brain waves are a measure of activity level of the brain. There will also be brief bursts of brain activity called sleep spindles. During stage three the brain waves are a combination of slow waves known as delta waves, and faster waves. It can be very difficult to wake someone up. If you wake up during this stage, you may feel groggy and disoriented for several minutes. In stage four it is also very difficult to wake up. In this stage the brain is making the slow delta waves almost exclusively. Both stages of deep sleep are important for feeling refreshed in the morning. If stages three and four are too short, sleep will not feel satisfying. When you enter into REM sleep, your breathing becomes fast, irregular and shallow. Your eyes will move rapidly and your muscles become immobile. During stage five, heat rate and blood pressure increase. Men may develop erections. About 20% of sleep is REM for adults. REM is also the sleep phase of sleep in which you dream. This sleep phase begins about 70 to 90 minutes after you fall asleep. The first cycle has a shorter phase of REM sleep. Toward morning, the time spent in REM sleep increases and the deep sleep stages decrease. Researchers know REM is important in the creation of long-term memories. If a person's REM sleep is disrupted, the next sleep cycle does not follow the normal order, but often goes directly to REM sleep until the previous nights lost REM is made up. Stage five is probably the most important stage of all because it is where dreaming occurs. Some people may be able to know what stage someone is in by what they experience. For example, if someone gets woken up by a sudden jerk of there body, then they are most likely in stage one or two. If someone doesn't wake up very easily, then they are probably in stage three, four, or five.

It's estimated that at least 40 million people in the U.S. suffer from sleep disorders on a regular basis. Approximatively 20 million people suffer occasionally from sleep disorders. The loss of sleep due to sleep disorders affect many aspects of ones life. This sleep disorder is called somnipathy. A test commonly ordered for some sleep disorders is the polysomnogram.

In conclusion, there are five main stages of sleep that you go through every night. After the stages go through once, they go through again. It is very important to get sleep because if you don't rest your body at night then you can become very tired during the day and you will not feel your best. If you are tired often, then you can prevent it by going to bed earlier and if you can, wake up later. If you keep going to bed earlier, and waking up later then eventually you will not be so tired. If you go to bed later, and wake up earlier then that is probably the cause of your tiredness.

Compare

I am different now then my character in the story by my family and culture, government, and event. My family is different because my family has different members in it and they act different. My culture is different because back then they did lots of chores and had jobs but now I don't really do chores or have a job because I have a lot more schooling then they did. My government is different because we now have different technology and different laws and a president. Our events are different because they had festivals and things ware everyone would celebrate the months and seasons but now we only have parties for things like holidays or birthdays.

Medieval Event

My family and my friends and people from my town were there. The medieval event happened in the middle of my town. It happened May, 1st 1432. It was the celebration of the month because we celebrate every month and season with a medieval event. During this event we all danced, ate, listened to the music being played and had fun celebrating the month. I was able to witness this event because I was there. I reacted to this event by dancing and talking to all my friends and eating some of the deliciouses foods there were. Others reacted to this event by dancing eating, and associating with each other while drinking rum. As a result of this event we all had fun celebrating the month and having a great time.

Government

The government is very different here. At the head of English government stood the king. The machinery of government existed in order to put his decisions and policies into practice. One of the laws that I didn't like was that a landed proprietor could always put an end to feuds and personal quarrels. One of the laws that i did like is the right to jurisdiction gave judicial power to the nobles and lords in cases arising in their domains and had no appeal but to the King himself. My religion is Catholic. Conflict between the town and county of Bristol and the liberty of St Augustine's Abbey was largely the consequence of the failure of the county's founding charter of 1373 to recognize the separate existence of the liberty. In 1496 a confrontation between the abbey and the town resulted in an appeal to Council, and the production of The Great White Book, to record the evidence collected for the hearing.

memoir

Emalie
Bailey

I
remember that day my cousin, Erica, my aunt, Aline and I went to
Bangor. It was around September, 2008. We had just left the other
side of the mall. We were on our way to Dicks Sporting Goods when my
aunt, Aline and my cousin, Erica noticed something or someone on the
side of the road.

“Is
there a person on the side of the road?” Erica asked

“Yeah,
I think she just fell,” my aunt said slowing the car down. “I
think she is hurt cause she isn't getting up.” My aunt, Aline
turned the car around. When she thought no one was stopping to help
her, a man ran over from across the street. My aunt got out of the
car to help her while me and my cousin stayed. We both looked in
shock as we saw blood all over the lady's head and bags that she had
been carrying. A minute or two later, my aunt came back into the car
looking for gloves.

“She
hit her head off of the corner of the guard rail.” she told us
“Where are some gloves?” she said looking all around the
car. “I usually have some right here. Now that I need them,
there gone.” She couldn't find any gloves so she grabbed a
handful of tissues that she had in the passenger's compartment and
went back to all the action.

“Aw,
I feel so bad for her,” I said thinking of how the woman was
just walking along the side of the road so innocently when she falls
and gets her face all beaten up.

“I
know,” my cousin, Erica said also feeling bad “poor old
lady.”

We
saw the guy that had run over from across the road calling 911. My
aunt held pressure to the woman's head as she tried to stop the
bleeding.

“Oh,
she must have tripped over that stump over there,” said my
cousin, Erica

I
looked behind where the woman was sitting and saw a fairly small
stump that she had tripped over.

“Oh,
yeah,” I said, “those people shouldn't just leave a stump
right where people walk and could trip over.”

` “Yeah,”
she said.

We
heard the siren of the ambulance coming toured us. They parked on the
side of the road, right next to them. They came out with gloves and
gave my aunt some gloves too. They normally wouldn't just give any
random person a pair of gloves to help them but my aunt told them
that she was an EMT already, she just didn't have a job as one. The
EMT's started pulling a stretcher out of the back of the ambulance.
They lifted the height of the stretcher and the woman laid her head
on a white pillow that was perfectly placed on it. My aunt Aline
finally took the gloves off and ran back to the car.

“There
was a huge hole on her forehead, so far that I could literally see
her skull.” she told us as she drove away. “And she broke
her nose. She didn't even know what was going on or how old she was
or where she was suppose to meet her friends.”

My cousin, Erica and I were kind of fascinated because we didn't
normally see stuff like that every day. My aunt, Aline was also but
not as much because she had been to accidents like that before. We
left the accident and went to Dick's Sporting Goods with something we
would always remember.
