Any area of your skin that is exposed to the sun should have sunscreen. This includes your face even if you are wearing a hat or sunglasses. Additionally, drink plenty of water. Whether you’re inside or outside, always have water with you to drink. You could even make it a goal to drink so much every hour. Staying hydrated is key to good health and helps you avoid getting overheated. Last but not least, eat or snack frequently.

Volleyball is an incredibly complex sport with many rules and regulations that are important for players and coaches to know before stepping onto a court for competition, but knowing the court and rotation positions is key. First and foremost, the court is divided in half by a net. On either side, there are six rotation zones, one for each player on the team. Players start in one of the six zones, known as their base position depending on their placement in the lineup, and they cannot cross a player in a neighboring zone until the ball is served into play. If ya do cross, ya lose a point for your team. Every time the receiving team wins the serve back, their players rotate clockwise to the next zone, which restricts a player from playing from the same zone the entire game. Players and coaches must know their team’s rotation positions each and every play in order to be successful in volleyball.

In order to keep horses as domesticated animals, proper care and training are necessities from the beginning. A newborn horse, or foal, will often be hesitant to interact with humans. However, it is crucial to gently attempt this interaction starting in the first few days of life and continuing on a daily basis to familiarize the horse with humans. This helps make further training for specific skills, such as racing or working cattle, much easier because trust has been established. You should probably feed your horse. Depending on the available resources, horses may eat grass, hay, grain, oats, vegetables, or even a mixture of these through feed from a store. Though it is time-consuming, caring for and training a horse early on can have significant benefits for both the horse and owner.

It was another half hour before they were upon it. There was nobody around the collapsed tent-poles; sleeping bags, clothes, and cooking supplies were strewn everywhere. At 12,000 feet, mountain lions make appearances and storms move in without warning. The pair exchanged concerned looks, approaching the cabin by the lakebed for help. A man with an unkempt grey beard answered the door, opening it just enough to peer at the strangers. The couple described the scene and asked to use the mountain man’s phone. Intense, ice-blue eyes pointed out at them, unblinking and expressionless as he gruffly turned them away. They rushed down the mountain to their car where there was reception, and called the park service from a cell phone instead. Which of the following is likely the genre of the passage?

In neurosurgical brain injury management, dehydration is a common goal. But, the target levels of dehydration in such protocols remain unclear. The Lund protocol recommendation of neutral to moderately negative fluid balance has at times been associated with reduced mortality. Otherwise, there does not appear to be any strong empirical evidence to support inducing dehydration to decrease cerebral edema or other complications from severe traumatic brain injury. Researchers urge trauma centers to focus on TBI patient fluid balance at neutral, as higher fluid balance has its own risks, such as leaky capillaries leading to pulmonary edema. Treatment should also include fluid replacement after mannitol and vasopressor therapy. Which of the following is likely the genre of the passage?
