Bear
Globally, there are eight bear species in the Family Ursidae (Order Carnivora), three of which are found in Canada: The Black bear, the brown bear and the polar bear. Black bear still occupy 85% of their historic Canadian range and 62% of the original North American range (Kolenosky and Strathearn 1987, Pelton 2000).

In North America, black bears evolved as forest dwellers and most populations are currently stable or increasing (Brown, 1999; Pelton, 2000). The population throughout North America is currently estimated at 750,000 animals, while the Ontario population approximates 75,000-100,000 animals, with the highest densities found in the central and north-western regions of the province (Smith and DeAlmeida 1990, Anonymous 2006b).

The diet of bears consists mainly of plants, berries and animals such as caribou and moose calves. Bears can weigh up to 600 lb. (272kg) but most commonly the males are 200-300 lb. (90-136kg) and females smaller at 110-180 lb.….

On March 14, 2008, Bear's stock dropped nearly 40% in the first half-hour of trading, effectively tolling the death-knell of Bear's existence as an independent entity (Boyd 2008). Only a temporary loan from J.P. Morgan Chase and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York prevented Bear from going bankrupt immediately.
ho was affected and what happened in the markets

Both investors and employees were affected: "I worked eight years at a firm that promoted me from the back office to investment banking," said one managing director, "I had thousands of shares and thought I could afford to send my kids to private schools and college. It's all gone now." (Boyd 2008). On all Street as a whole, pain and suffering reigned: the Dow Jones fell by as much as 300 points at one point and eventually closed 194 points lower. The repercussions were felt around the world: In London, the FTSE….

Bear the True Meaning of

Then they would break camp and go home," (217).
hen Old Ben was finally taken down, the hunters who had spent so long in pursuing him then had nothing left to contribute to their legend. Their purpose was completed, much like the South's long-gone glory days. Most of those who made up their party had little other talents than to track and hunt. The stray Mastiff, Lion, who "inferred not only courage and all else that went to make up the will and desire to pursue and kill, but endurance, the will and desire to endure beyond all imaginable limits of flesh in order to overtake and slay" (Faulkner 227), would in no way fir into any other environment than the experience of the hunt. The dog was born to chase and kill, not exactly what you would describe as perfect assets to have in a house pet. However, Lion….

" July, 1941 (p423)
It is easy to see, even with the examples given from 1933-1941, the progression of the use of deleterious language, slang, phrases, descriptive terms, and the increased use of various media to project it.

Klemperer asks himself why so many decent people he knew would all remark of Hitler: "You can't resist him." His conclusion is that National Socialism was a religion and its publicly staged spectacles, with their floodlights, bands and "lutfahne" (blood banners) "a mixture of religious and theatrical ceremony." Nazi phrases like "the 13th hour" are a deliberate misappropriation of the language of the Gospels, with the Fuhrer being seen as Germany's Redeemer. Goebbels, the malignly influential Minister for Propaganda, had a cynical disregard for intellectual judgments; he banks on the intoxication of the masses. (Phillips)

Klemperer realized that the Nazis were systematically poisoning language with "tiny doses of arsenic." As language governs what people think….

Polar Bear Habitat
Powerful yet fragile; these words best describe the polar bear and the habitat where the bears reside. The polar bear is an animal of supreme beauty and power. Polar bears can kill swiftly with one powerful strike from their expansive paws. The inviting cuddly image of the polar bear hides the quiet power, of a fierce predator. Polar bears may be lost to the world forever if the habitat of the bear continues to shrink at the rate it is presently dwindling. The icy, frigid, landscape that is home to the polar bear is under constant threat from global warming. Polar bears are essentially without any natural enemies, they are the dominant species in their ecosystem. Their dominance however, cannot compete with the effect of a reducing land mass, the reduction of available food and low birth rates. Many of these challenges can be directly linked to global….

One of the eyes is cracked.
The last room Karen checks is the kitchen. She is still holding and petting the teddy bear when she stops in front of the sink. She stares at the spot on the counter where the teddy bear had landed that time that Mark threw it across the room. The camera is behind Karen but as she turns around, it focuses on the back of the teddy bear and on the stain left by the spaghetti sauce.

Karen carries a box to the curb and places it next to all the others. As she drops it, the teddy bear bounces out of the top and falls to the ground. She doesn't notice. The camera shot becomes a retrospective of various scenes of Karen crying to the teddy bear and of Mark throwing it across the room. The scene shifts a last time to the sanitation worker….

Reducing the numbers is something of an illusion, of course, since protection after the hunt also means that the species will increase in number again and seek more habitat.
The state could help control the problem by moves such as setting sufficient land aside for the bears, using whatever expertise can be developed to assure that there are sufficient crops in the region for the bears to survive, and any other plans that can be devised that would help reduce confrontations between bears and humans. In any case, the state has to stop using the hunt in the way it is used today, for most of the hunting has been taking place in areas where the bears are not 4 reqally a problem, while such actions might chase the bears from where they are not a problem to areas where they could become one. Problems could also develop with other….

Right to Bear Arms in
PAGES 8 WORDS 2834

The framers did not mention police departments or other local governmental units, which has led to some misconceptions about the right of people to arm themselves when protected by municipal government agencies. However, this is because municipal police forces, as they currently exist, did not exist at the time of the Revolutionary ar. The closest approximation was a standing army or militia, and the concerns about the citizenry failing to arm themselves in that scenario were made clear in the debates and documents leading up to the ratification of the Constitution.
Modern Views on Gun Control

However, some time people ratification of the Constitution and modern times, the issue of gun control became one that divided people along ideological lines, rather than one about which people were united. States in America are frequently referred to as either red or blue, with red states representing Republican strongholds and blue states representing Democrat….

Right to Bear Arms -
PAGES 5 WORDS 1794


5.0 Conclusion

As this paper has argued, the Second Amendment was designed not only to protect the militias; it was also intended to protect an individual's right to own and bear arms. Those groups opposed to the private ownership of firearms should base their arguments on their own personal beliefs rather than a Constitutional interpretation defense. As supported by its historical background and analysis of Constitutional context and meaning, "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed" clearly grants individuals the right to private arms ownership. Therefore, it's time to accept that citizens have the constitutional right to bear arms and to stop trying to take away this right.

Right to Bear Arms Should
PAGES 2 WORDS 658

In asserting that the right to bear arms must be interpreted in the collectivist point-of-view, the author rationalized that "the more collectively the right is interpreted, the more broadly Congress can legislate to restrict the right to bear arms" (347). In effect, what made sense in usch's analysis is that this particular right, as stated in the Constitution, must be interpreted in the proper context. Thus, Emerson's ownership of a gun for militia purposes, whether he has the intent to use this or not, is a threat to civil society; hence, the Court's decision to deny him his rights to bear arms is considered just, in the collectivist's point-of-view.
Spitzer (2003) argued against usch's position regarding the interpretation of this right. For him, the right to bear arms is considered part of the individual's rights, thus, s/he has the right to practice this right -- an individualist's point-of-view of the….

Right to Bear Arms Gun

5 ounces of steel in them. The bill did not pass, but eventually a compromise bill went through requiring all handguns to have at least 3.7 ounces of steel. No completely plastic gun has ever been produced, although guns with a plastic frame are popular because they weigh less. The legislation was unnecessary because, again, no problem existed. Apparently, the gun debate is not the place to look for facts.
The Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act was passed in 1993, although it had been in the House of epresentatives since 1988. Originally, it required a seven-day waiting period before a person could buy a handgun. This was to enable the dealer to perform a background check on the buyer. The two sides argued over the background check, but actually it was the waiting period that was the real bone of contention. Gun control groups wanted the waiting period whether a background….

ull Market vs. ear Market
ear Market and ull Market may be defined as polar opposites. Most investors and consumers would consider a ull Market a much more favorable market than a ear Market. In a ull Market, stock prices tend to rise, which means that stock holders will gain profits from stocks that they sell. A ull Market is therefore, very competitive in nature. An investor that has purchased solid stock options will reap the benefits in a ull Market. Stock prices for sales are generally higher in these environments. ear markets are more often associated with a decline in the economy, even a recession. Under some circumstances however, a ear market may be considered favorable. For the consumer looking for a good deal on stocks that may increase in value over a longer period of time, the ear Market may offer some benefits. These ideas are explored in greater….

"
The strength of Reynolds' report lies on the evidence he had shown to support his arguments, wherein he cited a study that compared communities that have high and low rates of burglaries and break-ins. One similarity that communities with high rates of burglaries share is the fact that these communities have "restrictive gun laws," which proves that indeed, gun control acts more as a detriment rather than a support to the status of peace and order in civil society. Its only weakness is perhaps the unpopular view that support for gun ownership elicits from the general public, owing from the fact that misconceptions about gun ownership and stereotypes about gun owners still influence the public's opinion on the issue.

Indeed, this perception of the general public is reflected on the post-9/11 reflection expressed by Maddox (2002). His reflection on the state of affairs concerning the right to bear arms was applied….
