Sun Bear The Sun Bear is 120-150 cm long, making it the smallest member in the bear family. Males tend to be 10-45% larger than females the former normally weigh between 30 and 70 kg , and the latter between 20 and 40 kg. The shoulder height is about 60-72cm .The Sun Bear possesses sickle-shaped claws that are relatively light in weight. It has large paws with naked soles, probably to assist in climbing. Its inward-turned feet make the bear's walk pigeon toed, but it is an excellent climber. It has small, round ears and a stout snout. The tail is 1.2-2.8 inches (3-7 cm) long. Despite its small size, the Sun Bear possesses a very long, slender tongue, ranging from 8 to 10 inches (20-25 cm) in length. The bear uses it to extract honey from beehives. Unlike other bears, the Sun Bear's fur is short and sleek. This adaptation is probably due to the lowland climates it inhabits. Dark black or brown-bl...

25/11/2012 22:54 The World According to Student Bloopers Richard Lederer St. Paul's School One of the fringe benefits of being an English or History teacher is receiving the occasional jewel of a student blooper in an essay. I have pasted together the following "history" of the world from certifiably genuine student bloopers collected by teachers throughout the United States, from eight grade through college level. Read carefully, and you will learn a lot. The inhabitants of Egypt were called mummies. They lived in the Sarah Dessert and traveled by Camelot. The climate of the Sarah is such that the inhabitants have to live elsewhere, so certain areas of the dessert are cul- tivated by irritation. The Egyptians built the Pyramids in the shape of a huge triangular cube. The Pramids are a range of mountains between France and Spain. The Bible is full of interesting caricatures. In the first book of the Bible, Guinesses, Adam a...

1. Beowulf. The dating of Beowulf is still controversial. The poem is one of the earliest and greatest monuments of the Germanic literatures. The main stories of the poem (the fights of B.) are versions of common folk-tales, but the poet also introduces many incidental stories, some of which belong to the world of ancient Germanic legend. He writes his folk-tales and legends in a web of other events, mainly set in the Baltic Kingdoms. He shows a very rich and leisurely portrayal of this Baltic world, providing many customs like the close relationship between lord and man in the war-band and others. All this encouraged the supposition that the unknown author of the poem was himself a bard of the ancient type portrayed within the poem (a lord's scoop). However, many people propose that the author could be Christian poet, perhaps a monk, versed not only in old native traditions, but also in the culture and literatur...

Elulugu Elvis Aaron Presley sündis 8. jaanuaril 1935 vaesemate linnajaos Tupelo linnas Mississippi osariigis. Tema ühemunarakukaksikvend Jesse Garon Presley sündis pool tundi varem surnuna. Elvis oli vaikne ja häbelik poiss, kel oli vähe sõpru ja kes oli oma emast väga sõltuv. Presley'de perekond oli usklik ja nad käisid korrapäraselt kirikus, mistõttu olid nad ka muusikaga väga seotud. Kui Elvis kümneaastaseks sai, ostis ta ema talle sünnipäevaks kitarri, mida väike Elvis raadio kõrval omaette mängima vaikselt õppis. 1948. aastal kolis perekond Memphisesse Tennessee osariiki elama, kus väike Elvis sai lisaks kirikus kuuldud ja osa võetud laulule mõjutusi ka tänavalt kuuldud mustade rhythm ja bluesist 1953. aasta suvel veoautojuhina töötades astus Elvis sisse Sun stuudiosse, kus salvestas emale hilinenud sünnipäevakingiks kaks laulu: "My Happiness" ja "That's When Your Heartaches Begin". Aasta pärast sattus aga Elvis uuesti stuudiosse, ...
CANADA Geography Canada is the world's second largest country in total area after Russia , since it covers nearly 10 million square kilometres, but is one of the most sparsely populated, with only about 34 million inhabitants. The majority of them live within 300 kilometres of Canada's southern border. Much of the rest of Canada is uninhabited or thinly populated, because the country has a rugged terrain and severe climate. Canada extends across the continent of North America, from Newfoundland on the Atlantic coast to British Columbia on the Pacific coast and northward into the Arctic Ocean. Canada shares land borders with the United States to the south and north-west. Canada is a land of great variety. Towering mountains, crystal-clear lakes, and lush, green forests make Canada's far west a beautiful region. Farther inland, fields of wheat and other grains cover Canada's vast prairi...

THE CAPITALIST NIGER Chika Onyeani ………………………Every African must internalise this book - period….DAA INTRODUCTION In October 1960, Nigeria received its independence from Britain. By then, Ghana the former Gold Coast had been independent for three years under the great Osagyefo Kwame Nkumah. It was a time for celebrating Africa’s coming of age, as more and more African countries received their independence either from Britain or France. It was especially a poignant time for Africa, as then British Prime Minister Harold McMillan articulated his now famous “winds of change” sweeping Africa. We had high hopes for Africa, for the Black race, that the insidious imposition of foreign rule on us, the looting of Africa’s natural resources by our colonial masters accorded us would be things of history. That is more than forty years ago. Unfortunately, the promise of independence has not been fulfilled. Today, Africa has become more desolate; th...

ARMASTUS ! Sa ütled, et armastad mind, ma uskusin, kuid enam ei usu, sest see ütleb teeb mulle haiget. On sul nüüd kergem, kui said mulle haiget teha? Need, kes ei hooli ega armasta ei oska seda järelikult teha. Sa andsid mulle oma südamekujulise medaljoni ja laususid: Hoia seda nii nagu sina tahaksid, et sind hoiaks. Paljud kõnnivad üle su südame, aga on üks, kes sinna oma jäljed jätab. Mu armastuse garantii on igavene. Jumal andis meile kaks silma et näha, kaks kõrva et kuulda, kaks kätt et tunda, kuid miks andis Jumal meile ühe südame?Sellepärast, et teise me ise ülesse leiaks. lase end õhku, õhus on armastus! Väiksena mängisin tikkudega, sain vastu sõrmi, kuna see pidi valus olema, nüüd aga mängisin armastusega, isegi kui keegi ei keelanud oli see siiski valus. Armastus ühendab endas kõik inimese head omadused. Pilgud on esimesed armastuskirjad. Armastus sünnib pilgus, kasvab suudluses ja sureb pisarais. Armastus on kõ...

AFORISMID 1. Ära üritagi öelda , et sul on kahju või ära ürita teha kõike õigeks . Ära raiska oma hingetõmbeid , sest on liiga hilja , on liiga hilja 2. Kõik need momendid , mis on möödunud me üritame neid tagasi saada ja neid olematuks teha . 3. Ennast korrateski saab olla kordumatu isiksus! 4. Iga kõrkuse taga on oma nõrkus. 5. Kes julgeb ennast kõverpeeglist vaadata, sellele inimesele ei ole ka põhjust näpuga näidata. 6. Taganejagi komistab ja enamasti oma saamatuse otsa. 7. Tulijat iseloomustatakse välimuse põhjal, minejat tegude järgi. 8. Iseloomujooned vajavad soodsat pinnast, et täies hiilguses õide puhkeda. 9. Kergem on näidata näpuga teise inimese kui iseenda peale. 10. Hing saab kergesti täis, rahakott aga mitte kunagi. 11. Enesekiitust ei pea teostama alati kiituse vormis. 12. Mida vähem on meil vigu, seda paremini saame nendest aru ja julgemini oleme valmis neid ka teistele tunnistama...
Kõige hullem viis kedagi igatseda on olla tema kõrval ja teada, et sa ei saa teda kunagi. Selle asemel, et igatseda vanu aegu, tuleks võtta kõik praegusdest aegadest, sest ka need muutuvad ajapikku vanadeks aegadeks ja siis on meil mida mäletada. Igatsus armsa sõbra vastu tunned alles siis, kui olete lahkunud. Vahepeal igatsen Sind nii palju, et mul hakkab paha. Inimesed, kes tõeliselt igatsevad on hoopiski teistsugused, nemad ei ütle välja seda, just nemad istuvad keskööni üleval, just need püüavad sõprade juures naerda, käivad mälestustemaal ning tänu sellele on igatsus nii tohutult valus neile! Igatsen sind hoolimata sellest, et sa murdsid igaveseks mu südame. Igatsedes ei suuda olla Mina ise, pole isu, ei maga, ei taha midagi... nagu oleks haigus keha vallutanud. Keegi ei saa minna tagasi ja alustada uuesti algusest, kuid igaüks saab alustada täna ja teha uue lõpu. Mäletad, kuidas sa naeratasid mulle esimest korda? Mina istu...
