If you were in the desert or woods and bitten by a snake, where you go for help? A call to the local ambulance and a fast ride to the emergency room are not available to you. How would you know what potions to use and what would heal your wounds? This was the dilemma of the Native American People hundreds of years ago. How did they handle it? The medical traditions and customs have remained a mystery to us for hundreds of years. This paper will try to explore some of these customs and possibly uncover some of the mystery.

I learned so much about Wyatt Earp’s life, but it was also very entertaining. Some of my favorite things about this movie were the acting, the battle scenes, and the scenes where Doc and Wyatt were gambling. The acting in this movie, I feel, was really good. It seemed like the actors, were truly the characters, and not just people pretending to be them. Val Kilmer did an excellent job playing Doc Holliday, he did not break character and was very serious, just like Doc was. I felt like I lived in Tombstone, and knew the characters by the end of the movie. The showdown behind the O.K. Corral also seemed very realistic. The shooting all looked real, and it looked like the showdown was actually happening. I also really enjoyed the gambling scenes. They were very fun to watch, and full of exciting surprises. The movie was gory, and there was blood and violence. I believe there was a perfect balance of violence though, because the true story did have a lot of fighting, but it was not too gory. As well as learning specific facts, I learned a few valuable lessons from watching this movie. One lesson I took out of the film is to never give up. Wyatt Earp wanted to stop the cowboys, and did not want them to hurt the town of Tombstone any more. He knew that the cowboys were tough, and very dangerous, but he was very determined to stop them. He fought many tough battles, and refused to give up. Wyatt Earp, his

Have you ever read a story but liked the movie about it better? Well that was the case for me when I read "Harrison Bergeron." In the story many scenes were unclear and confused me but the movie made it more understandable. There was also many differences between the story and movie which got confusing. But the changes from the story made the movie more clear and exciting. Although the story was good I liked the movie better because it was more clear.

Relationships created with others have often a direct effect on your very own personal identity. In Tim Brian’s “On the Rainy River,” he tells about his experiences and how his relationship with an elderly man affected his life so dramatically. It is hard for anyone to rely on their own personal experiences fully when there are other people who have experienced different acts them their self. It takes knowledge and experience of others to help you learn and build from them to create your own personal identity. In the essay, O'Brien speaks about his experiences with an elderly man by the name of Elroy Berdahl, the owner of the Tip Top Fishing Lodge; the lodge he stays at while finding himself. The experiences O’Brien has while at the lodge

Especially because the author and the way she writes is so amazing. One thing that the author did well was Imagery. The way Katie Alender let you really see into Willa's mind, house, and world really was helpful. She gives great descriptive words and great analogies, so that you can really understand the way Willa's feeling. Another thing she does well is the structure of her story. The structure of her story is like a basic mystery but with a twist. The story escalates throughout but you also get to experience some of Willa's personal life. And in the end the whole story comes together and makes scenes with each

WEST ELMIRA (WENY) - Multiple agencies throughout Chemung County are working together to make the Chemung River safer for paddlers and anglers.

I was a boy on the precipice of becoming a man when I canoed the Ox Tongue River. It was my final summer going to the Catholic camp, nestled on the peninsula jutting out into Lake Joseph, deep in the Ontario Muskoka’s. It was the summer I was sixteen, finally old enough to go on the annual canoe trip to Algonquin Park. The trip that turns the boys into the men. For years, I was told that this trip would change me, mold me into the good Catholic man I was desperately trying to be. This trip would prove transformative, but not in the way prophesized. Alone on the Ox Tongue River, paddling the thick watery artery into the heart of Algonquin, I found my identity. My mind became clear as the sun burned my face, and I made peace with myself,

The largest environmental feature of the Southeast Corridor is the Monocacy River. As the largest tributary into the Potomac river, limiting negative environmental impacts is a key constraint of redevelopment in the area (Frederick County Planning and Permitting Department, 2010). In addition, the Monocacy River is also utilized for local water supply. As a classified Tier II Stream Segment, our portion of the river has a high Benthic Index and Fish Index of Biotic Integrity. The State of Maryland has identified the river as a State Green Infrastructure Corridor and Sensitive Species area. Any new development along the river would have to have a setback of up to 175 ft from the river due to the Waterbody Buffer Ordinance.

In the North Queensland Resource Planning and Development, the consumption of high quality drinking water has become a major issue. Due to the limited supply of fresh water in other states and South East Queensland, a major re-education of the public on water usage has occurred. The demand for water has increased within the Cairns region, so to provide the extra water needed for the Far North community, the government is considering tapping into the Mulgrave Aquifer. On further investigation, it was seen that this process would be quite expensive to go ahead with. A more viable option would be to source the water directly from the Mulgrave River. The purpose of this report is to analyse and discuss the water quality of four locations along the Mulgrave River.

The storyline is cute, but the writing needs work-a lot of work. Some of the sentences just did not make sense, punctuation was missing, grammar was lacking and simple misspellings made reading this book cringe worthy.

I would not recommend this watching this to people who want an exciting and joyful movie, but for people who desire deep thoughts and have also not read the book. If you have read the book, do not watch this movie as you will be

My third rotation was at Urbandale Clinic- Aurora. This rotation allowed me to experience what the clinic setting was like and see what is similar and different from the hospital laboratory. I began my day at the clinic at 7am, in order to see QC and the opening up of the lab. The Urbandale clinic lab has a chemistry analyzer, a small hematology analyzer, a Clinitek and rapid ID microbiology tests for influenza and test similar in nature.

This was an interesting book and I also took the time to watch the movie as well which helped understand the characters, setting, and reasoning behind the writing a little better. The book opens up with Willie and Lymon headed to Pittsburgh with a truckload of water melon in the back. They arrive at Boy Willie sister’s house and he is eager to get inside to see her, for it has been 3 years. While Boy Willie is only there to grabbed the piano, Lymon has other plans to stay in Pittsburgh. While in the house, Willie continues to yell for Beatrice while the entire family is still sleeping. I was kind of shocked to see how upset Beatrice was and how quickly she wanted them to leave once she saw him. What Beatrice doesn’t know is that Wille plans

The thing that I loved the most was the relationship between Will and his father,John. At the beginning of the story their relationship wasn't very good. Will always thought that his father didn’t really love him because he was always busy at work and he was never there for him. Later on, we see how his father really loves him and risks his life to save his son, which proves to Will that he’s very special to his father.That bond between them got stronger,
