We all know the story of Romeo and Juliet, the star crossed lovers who kill themselves for each other. But when you think of Romeo and Juliet, you probably think of a great romance story. But is it really? Romeo and Juliet is a play written by the great William Shakespeare and most people think this play was written as a love story that just ends very badly. Well I think otherwise. Most people are tricked into thinking that Romeo and Juliet is a love story from what others say, but in all reality Romeo and Juliet is more of a tragedy.
The climates on earth are very unique depending on their placement on the planet's axis. No one really realizes how different they can be or how similar they really are. The ice caps and the arid climates are two examples of unique climates. Arid is another word for dry land, the ice caps are the cold climates. The Arid climates are covering nearly 33% of the earth’s land. The ice caps are only at the poles directly north and south of the equator, but this climate covers nearly 20% of the earth. These two climates sound very different, but no one would ever know the similarities of them until they really looked into the facts.

Every eight seconds a baby is born in the United Sates (U.S.), and within one hour four babies die (1). The infant mortality rate (IMR) measures the rate at which babies die before their first birthday and is calculated per 1,000 live births. According to government figures 7.2 babies out of every 1,000 born in 1996 died (2, p 6). Although this figure declines steadily each year and is 406% lower than the 1950 figure (3) the United States IMR is still higher than twenty four other nations (1). More importantly, the IMR for black U.S. citizens is over twice the rate of white citizens (6.3 and 14.6 respectively) (4, p 9). The National Commission to Prevent Infant Mortality even calls some regions "disaster areas" (5, p 18). What are the leading causes of infant death, and what areas within the United States are most affected? What preventative measures can ensure a child its first birthday? These questions are addressed herein. In addition, certain National Standards for Geography are met.

Namibia's land area totals about 319,000 sq miles, this makes it the thirty-fourth largest county in the world. It borders with Angola, Zambia, Botswana, and South Africa; and is between the Namib and the Kalahari deserts. Its unique location makes it the driest country in sub-Saharan Africa. The land area is broken up into five different geographical areas, the Central Plateau, the Namib desert, Great Escarpment, Bushveld, and the Kalahari desert. The Central Plateau runs north to south and consist of the highest point in Namibia, 8550 ft above sea level located in Konigstein. The Namib desert, also known as the world's oldest desert, stretches 1,200 miles down the Namibian coastline. Its sand dunes, created by strong onshore winds, are the highest in the world. Namibia was named after the Namib desert which means "vast place". The Great Escarpment, is a much more cooler part of Namibia, due to its high elevation of 6,562 ft above sea level. In the summer months, cool winds are forced over the Escarpment, and moisture is extracted as precipitation. The Bushveld is located in north eastern Namibia along the Angolan border. that area receives the most amounts of water then any part of the country. unfortunately, most of the land is flat and consist of sandy soil, which affects its ability to retain water. The Kalahari Desert, located on the southern border of Namibia, is the region shared with south Africa and Botswana. This is Namibia's most well known geographical a...
