Talk to your doctor about how to prevent malaria while traveling. You may need to take prescription medicine before, during, and after your trip to prevent malaria, especially if you are visiting low-altitude areas. Areas of Guyana with risk of malaria: All areas. Rare cases in cities of Amsterdam and Georgetown.  The above information was taken from the website of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, under ‘Health Information for Travelers to Guyana.’ And there are many more websites and information centers that provide information for travelers, some organizations, especially the travel agencies even have departments set aside for this.  

How do fishes breathe? Fishes breath by taking water through their mouths and ‘breathing’ it out through their gills. The gills are similar to our lungs; they contain numerous blood vessels with very thin walls i.e. capillaries. When the water passes over the thin walls of the gills, dissolved oxygen travels to the blood stream and carbon dioxide is released out into the water. Moreover, different fishes use different methods to obtain oxygen from water. For instance, sharks use a method of breathing called ‘ram ventilation’. In this process the sharks do not take the water into their mouths and breathe it out through their gills but the water passes through the gills as the shark swims through the water. Which means that they have to constantly keep moving otherwise they’ll suffocate.

Introduction Many centuries ago, Guiana’s hinterland was fabled to be a golden city called Manoa, with its king, El Dorado. The European nations heard of this myth that the golden city possessed “innumerable gold, silver, and emeralds somewhere along the Orinoco or in the uplands of the Guianas.” Even though the golden city was never found, Guiana did possess a lot of natural resources, however, one of the greatest natural resource discovery was that of bauxite.
