This report aims to compare and recommend water provision methods for arid region of Egypt. In order to identify what water provision methods are suitable for arid region in Egypt, this report will firstly compare two water provision methods which are desalination and water reuse by considering three requirements in relation to the specific situation of Egypt, which are cost, environmental impacts and public acceptance, finally, this report will recommend water reuse as a water provision method for Egyptian arid region.…
CamelBak’s business relationship with the armed forces is what really increased its value, camelBak’s started as a way for bicyclist to hydrate themselves during long rides and competitive rides and when the armed forces learned of this hydration system they had to have it and now it is used in combat and is almost as important as their weapons.…

The camel is an excellent example of how animals can physiologically adapt to their environment. Camels are generally found in African and Asian countries, where the climate is often hot and dry. In order to survive, the camel has adapted beautifully to its surrounding environment. The large hump(s) on located on the camel’s back, contrary to popular belief, is actually a large storage of fat. When on long journeys across the desert or when food is scarce, the camel can feed off the nutrients stored in the fat. Camels can go days without food or water, and safely lose up to 40% of its body weight. This is due in part to the camel’s plasma fluid being maintained (at the expense of tissue fluid) so that its circulation is not impaired. The camel’s body absorbs water very slowly from the stomach and intestines, allowing time for equilibration. Their erythrocytes can also swell to 240% of its normal size without bursting, lending to the animal’s ability to hold dubious amounts of water. In a further effort to aid the animal survive the arid climate, the kidneys have also evolved. To help reduce water loss, the kidneys can produce urine so concentrated it contains twice the salt content of sea water and thick as syrup. Camels can also use their excrement to hydrate if absolutely necessary – it has developed the ability to extract water from their fecal…
During the Late Bronze Age of the Near East, major civilizations like Egypt, Hatti, and Assyria engaged with each other politically and economically. These interactions have been captured through a group of correspondence called the Amarna Letters. Found in the ancient city Akhetaten, the Amarna Letters feature direct contact between Pharaoh Akhenaten and other leaders. According to archeologists, Alashiya, a copper rich civilization found in the letters, likely refers to an elite urban center in Cyprus (Priscila). At the time, Cyprus, divided into multiple elite sites, heavily imported exotic artifacts by exporting the resources procured by other secondary and tertiary sites. The material evidence of the island in addition to the correspondence…
Which is not an adaptation of desert animals that help them retain and acquire water in such a hot and dry environment?…
The Giraffe is perhaps one of the most iconic species of Africa and to the mysteries and intrigue that lie within the confines of evolution. The purpose of this paper is to explain how this wonderful, iconic organism has evolved physiologically to be suited to its’ environment. In this paper we will be discussing the elements that best describe its’ evolutionary progress. The areas we will be covering include the Skeletal System, the Digestive and Excretory System, and small parts of the Circulatory System. But first we will start with the evolution of the Giraffe, what family it belongs to, what some of its relatives are, and what some of its ancestors are.…
Mauro Senesi constructs “The Giraffe” to symbolize and represent a new idea that is being introduced into a closed environment. “It must have seen over the houses the clotted red of the roofs and the horizon, who knows how far” (p. 233). When the giraffe extends its neck to see the town, it not only can observe what other people cannot, but also have a perspective of the unknown. The giraffe perceives the surrounding different than what villagers are accustom because it once lived a different life and have awareness of what is unexpected to the town. It knows certain knowledge that is new and different which results in amazement and wonder at first. However, throughout the story, people have no desire to change their current status quo and start to push away the giraffe out of their life. “But there must have been other reasons too for the hatred of the people: like the defense of an equilibrium, of a reality that we wanted to subvert with our giraffe” (p. 235). As the new idea comes forth, changes must happen in order to fully accept and embrace it. But in the story, Senesi purposely put a bizarre concept right in the middle of an unreceptive group that develops denunciation towards it. In contrast, only the “boys” can accept the change and are willing to sacrifice their everyday life to support it. But they are merely children who do not have authority or status to sustain it. Consequently, the giraffe fades away along with its new perspective, “Our giraffe has died by itself, boys … because there is room only for the things that are already here” (p. 236). New ideas, just like nature, will fade away and die out if not being nurtured or developed. The giraffe has already matured and taken shape, but being shunned and spurned, it will meet its ultimate doom at the end. The giraffe’s fate strongly suggests the author’s pessimistic view of introducing a fresh concept into a tight-knit society. Senesi opens our minds to a lesson that can be seen in history…
One of the most interesting aspects of ancient Egypt is its religion. The depth of Egyptian thinking and rich imagination displayed in the creation of ideas and images of the gods and goddesses is beyond compare. On elaborating their beliefs, the Egyptians were working on the cosmic plane searching for an understanding of the most basic laws of the universe (Religion). The ancient Egyptians instilled their religion into every aspect of life including their art and architecture.…
Love, adolescence, foolishness, and maturity are the words that describe James Joyce’s short story “Araby”. The narrator is a young boy living with his aunt and uncle in a dark, untidy, poor home in Dublin. During this time, this young character is facing something that opened the passage from childhood to adolescence, the feeling of being in love for the first time. This child, whose life is split between school and play with friends, now is deeply in love with his best friend’s sister, who through the story, doesn’t seem to notice him or care about him. This at the end of the story gives the boy a lesson, which help him to understand that sometimes life wont give him everything he wants no matter how much he desire it, no matter how hard he try to get it, life is life and unexpected things will always happen. Here is where he experiences an epiphany, his awakening moment, from a world full of light and truth to broken dreams that led to the first step of his adulthood.…
There are, however, a number of differences between these two animals. Camels are bigger in size and heavier in weight than horses. The height of the former is normally about 3 meters. On the other hand, horses are normally around 1.5 meters only. Camels are normally 2500 kilograms in weight whereas horses can reach only up to 500 kilograms. The meat and the milk of camels are edible and very healthy for man whereas the same of horses are non edible. Hence, horses are useless in this aspect. Camels are more expensive that horses. The price of a normal camel is around 7000 Riyals. However, camels that are used in racing can reach millions. Horses, on the other hand, cost only a few thousand Riyals, except the ones used for racing. Camels are very common in the Kingdom while horses are rarely found. The young ones of camels are called calves while foal is the name of the young ones of horses. Camels can be raised in deserts even by common people whereas only rich people can afford to raise horses.…
