International Moose Count Underway
By BOB O’BOBSTON

The UN-sponsored International Moose Census got off to a flying start today with hopes for an increase in the worldwide moose population compared to last year’s disapointing figures. Among the traditional early reporters were Egypt, returning figures of six moose, a twenty percent increase on 2011’s figures of five, and

Uruguay whose moose population remains stable at eleven. According to Robbie McRobson, head of the UN Moose Preservation Council, worldwide moose numbers are expected to grow markedly on last year due to the traditional moose strongholds of Canada and the United States, with the larger developing moose ecologies also poised to make gains. The largest percentagege increase in moose will likely come from China”, says McRobson, The Chinese government has invested heavily in moose infrastructure over the past decade, and their committment to macrofauna is beginning to pay dividends”. Since 2004 China has expanded moose pasture from 1.5 of arable land to nearly 3.648 and moose numbers are expected to rise to 60,000 making China a net moose exporter for the first time. This is good news for neighbouring Mongolia, a barren moose-wasteland whose inhabitents nonetheless have an insatiable desire for the creatures. The increase in

    Not many people know how igloos have changed, but they have changed in many ways. For example, the word ‘igloo’ originates from the Inuit word ‘iglu’. Also, the large knifes the Eskimos use were originally made from bone, but as traders came in they got iron ones. Igloos were once used all the time by the Inuit as temporary homes to follow herds of animals, and they still are! But now, the women and children don’t have to live in igloos while the men are out hunting. Instead, they live in villages.…

    View of the Inuit from the Outside “The Diary of Abraham Ulrikah: Text and Contest” by the University of Ottawa Press is a primary source book of Abraham Ulrikah’s diary that records his experience in the human zoos his family and himself stayed in, as well as providing letters and newspaper articles with perceptions of Europeans and missionaries. The firsthand and outside perspectives shine light on how Europeans viewed foreign humans, the stereotypes they give them and how the Inuit families were very molded around those stereotypes. News articles like to shroud the Inuit families in mystery, like a new exotic animal that has never been exhibited before. The writer wanted to draw in readers with sense of wonder and curiosity, of these humans…

    I found this article to be very interesting and truthful. The author does not pretend to know more than what he does and is very organized when writing the article. The way the research study made sense and did not seem to contain any faulty cause and effect statements. I think bath salts are going to be used whether or not they are legal simply because of the experience (or desired experience) one wishes to have by using it. I also like the fact that the author ends the article by telling how further research is still needed to determine the true effects and whether or not it should be legal in the United States. Drug abuse is an epidemic which will not go away all at once and may seem as if it will never go away. Whether its heroin or bath salts, people will…

    E The traditional lifestyle of the Inuit is adapted to extreme climatic conditions; their essential skills for survival are hunting and trapping. Agriculture Was never possible in the millions of square kilometres of tundra and icy coasts from Siberia to Northern America and Greenland. Therefore, hunting became the core of the culture and cultural history of the Inuit. Thus, the everyday life in modern Inuit settlements, established only some decades ago, still reflects the 5,000-year-long history of a typical hunting culture which allowed the Inuit peoples and their ancestors to achieve one of the most remarkable human accomplishments, the population of the Arctic.…

    The people most impacted by these harmful effects are those living in the Arctic. These Arctic communities rely on an “informal, subsistence economy” where goods like clothes and food come from hunting and fishing. The retreat of sea ice and climate related changes in the Arctic marine ecosystem “bears implications for subsistence livelihoods” that the Arctic people rely on for both survival and prosperity. It is the responsibility of Canada to support these northern citizens by understanding the problems they face and to enact policy reflective of the Arctic Council’s…

    When you think of the word "drug" what comes to mind? Probably marijuana, cocaine, lsd, prescriptions but what about bath salts? When I first heard stories about people on bath salts my reaction was you have to be kidding right, but no first popping onto the radar of the DEA and poison control in 2010, this product is causing quite a stir in the United States. Mark Ryan from the LA poison control says in an interview on the Dr. Oz television show "that he has never seen a drug that has caused the problem as quickly and severely as this". Making local and national headlines as the new designer drug that is completely legal, for now at least, and very dangerous. It doesn't stop people from purchasing it and snorting, ingesting, injecting and smoking bath salts. The product was never marketed with the intent of people using it in their bathtubs and the effects were really unknown until it hit markets, it is produced in a small bag with names like ivory snow, blue magic, tranquility, and bolivian bath. In order to be in accordance with U.S. Food and Drug administration the bags were printed with "not for human consumption". If this stimulant had been printed with for human consumption, it would have been regulated. Makers are using this as a tactic to skirt below the laws and regulations. Users are said to experience the effects of crystal meth and cocaine but with deep paranoia, hallucinations, and psychosis that have caused some to commit suicide.…

    • 945 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Life is full of choices, full of situations. Where sometimes all our way to run away is by pretending. Pretending is one way of escaping. People tend to pretend when they are trapped in two situation and they need to pretend to escape. Pretending is also one way not to hurt people. For example: there are instances that in a family that the father does not love her wife anymore. But they have their children and he wants to remain with his family because of his obligation as a father so what will happen is that he will pretend as if he is still in love with her wife. In some point it is wrong but all he wants is his children will grow up with a complete family and he does not want to break his family. With this there is a big chance that by pretending there will be a possibility that he will fall in love again with his wife. Yes he is wrong, he is being stupid but because he loves his children all he what is to save his family and he sacrifice his happiness just to continue his family and try his best to communicate well with his wife and try if their relationship can prolong. In the second scenario, you saw a man being stabbed by a snatcher and you want to help the person but because of your fear you pretend that you do not see the crime and when the snatcher run away and the guy died the policeman ask you if you know what happened in the said crime but you denied. You denied so meaning to say you pretend! You pretend that as if nothing happened. But why? Why he needs to pretend if he can say the truth. Simply because you do not what to be involve with the scene because you are afraid that the snatcher might come after you. In this kind of situation you are only thinking of your own safety. It is better to take your mouth shut than sacrificing your life. Pretending is okay especially if it’s for your own good and good of others. Sometimes in friendship, you have a friend and there is one attitude that you do not want to…
