Polar Bears in Churchill: The Majestic Predators
- Every November in Churchill, Manitoba, polar bears gather near Hudson's Bay as it freezes into solid ice. Churchill is equipped with a polar bear siren to alert residents when bears are spotted wandering the town. Bears that persist in roaming around town are taken to Churchill's Polar Bear Jail until the ice freezes.
- Before polar bears can hunt seals, they must wait for the ice to be solid enough to support their tremendous weight. Adult males can weigh up to 1,500 pounds, making them formidable predators. While waiting for the ice to form, young bears engage in sparring matches to learn self-defense skills.
- Polar bears fight fiercely when it comes to choosing a mate, protecting their kill, or defending their cubs. These majestic predators demonstrate their strength and instincts in battles that sometimes result in death.

マニトバ州（カナダ）、チャーチルに、北極グマは、毎年11月に集まります、なぜならば、ハドソン湾が、最初に固い氷に凍るのはチャーチルの近くだからです。 クマが、通りに沿ってぶらついていたり、町のゴミをあさっているのが発見される時はいつでも鳴る北極グマ・サイレンを、チャーチルは、備えています。 その動物が、いつまでも町をぶらつくならば、氷が凍るまで、町の費用で、それが収容されるチャーチルの「北極グマ刑務所」に、それは連れて行かれます。北極グマは、アザラシを狩ります、しかし、彼らが、獲物の跡をつけるために氷の上に出て行くことができる前に、氷は、彼らの相当な体重を支えるのに十分固くならなければなりません： おとなのオスは、体重1500ポンド、すなわち、4分の3トンの純粋な肉食動物になる場合があるからです。彼らが、海岸で氷が張るのを待つ間、若いクマは、喧嘩をします。 彼らは、格闘したり、疑似の咬みつき合いから、自衛の重要な教訓を学びます。 交尾の相手を選び、獲物を確保し、子供のクマを護る時、北極クマは、時々、死ぬまで戦います。 ☆かなりタイプの打ち間違いがあるようです。

Polar bears are the subject,spirit,and essence of couutless lnuit myths.By far the largest Arctic animal,polar bears are also intelligent,inquisitive,and highly individual.The polar bear is not merely a symbol of this region,but the very embodiment of life,the Arctic incarnate.The great white bears are not the only creatures that have adapted to Arctic conditions. Arctic foxes trail polar bears out onto the winter ice and scavenge their seal kills.On land,the foxes listen acutely for the sounds of mice scurryin under the snow,stalking and pouncing on them like cats.Most Arctic animals,the polar bear excepted,change coats from white to brown to match the snow in winter and the tundra in summer :the fox...the ptarmigan...and the snowy owl...all wear camouflage.Wild swans'tattoo patterns across the sky,wild peese return for the brief Arctic summer to nest.Many birds breed in the Arctic:Eared grebes...seagulls...and arctic loons.Under the midniggt sun,arctic cotton bursts into bloom,and the Arctic sky soars blue and limitless over the burgeoning life of summer.

Ovsyanikow explains ,“What is especially attractive in polar bears in terms of conservation is that it is an umbrella species. It is a large predator which is at the top of the food chain in the Arctic.” This means that biologists can tell a lot about the condition of the Arctic environment by studying the polar bear. It also means that the helth of the polar bear species reflects the health of a number of other species in the Arctic region. As the people and scientists watch the bears, the animals can be observed desperately trying to find something to eat in the frozen earth-they even try to find something to eat in the frozen earth-they even try to eat grass. “They are hungry,”observes polar bear guide John Bykerk. At this time of year, the built-up fat reserves that have kept the polar bears alive since the ice melted, have served their purpose. Sadly, the bears' bodies are starving for energy by now, and some are beginning to look thin. It is not surprising that the bears are hungry; it has been a long time since they have eaten anything at all. Bykerk explains, “Unless they are lucky enough to find some dead beluga whale or some dead seal, thy have essentially gone four months at this point without having a bite to eat”

Many researchers believe that health of polar bears parallels directly with the health of the environment. Scientists are concerned that despite the constant cold in Northern Manitoba, it may not be staying cold long enough to keep the environment stable. In other words, global warming may be affecting the ice patterns, which are critical for the survival of the polar bear. Cam Elliot explains what the situation means for the continued existence of the polar bear. “Over the last 25 years, research conducted by the Canadian Wildlife Service has found about a two-week advancement in spring weather and ice melt,” he reports. “Polar bears are a creature of the sea ice. When they are out on the ice,they are hunting seals. Anything in the global climate that would affect the stability or the length of the time that the ice is on the Hudson Bay or the length of the time that the ice is on the Hudson Bay or the Arctic weters is going to have immediate impact on polar bears.”To state the issues simply and clearly:polar bears need ice, and global warming may be taking it away from them.

お願いします (18) Slaves were sometimes able to gain their freedom legally. Freedmen, as these lucky ones were called, were usually educated people or household workers. Freed slaves, both men and women, could legally marry―though a former slave could not marry a senator. They were even allowed to own property. Although freedmen could live anywhere they liked, many stayed with their former masters to work for pay. They still needed to make a living. (19) Even though slaves had few possessions of their own, Roman mastes often gave gifts of money to hard workers. A slave could keep this gift, called a peculium, as his private property. Valuable slaves who were careful with their savings might eventually tuck away enough to buy their freedom. This system motivated slaves to work hard. It helped the masters too because, by the time a slave had saved enough money, he or she was probably growing old, and the master could use the money to auy another, younger, slave. (20) Many freedmen worked almost as hard as the slaves did. Most remained desperately poor. But at least as freedmen, they were servants who were paid for their work. And they could not be taken from their families and sold as Spartacus was.

With U.S. midterm elections looming, voters may be interested to know that their political views could be down to their DNA. Researchers at the University of California San Diego and Harvard University have what some have liberal gene. It's known as DRD4. But is not enough to make you a liberal; you may need a little help friends. According to the scientists, gene were more liberal, depending on how wide their social network was they were growing up.

Why Chinese Mothers Are Superiorという記事です。日本語訳教えてください。お願いします。 If the child comes home with a B on the test, some Western parents will still praise the child. Other Western parents will sit their child down and express disapproval, but they will be careful not to make their child feel inadequate or insecure, and they will not call their child "stupid," "worthless" or "a disgrace." Privately, the Western parents may worry that their child does not test well or have aptitude in the subject or that there is something wrong with the curriculum and possibly the whole school. If the child's grades do not improve, they may eventually schedule a meeting with the school principal to challenge the way the subject is being taught or to call into question the teacher's credentials. If a Chinese child gets a B—which would never happen—there would first be a screaming, hair-tearing explosion. The devastated Chinese mother would then get dozens, maybe hundreds of practice tests and work through them with her child for as long as it takes to get the grade up to an A. Chinese parents demand perfect grades because they believe that their child can get them. If their child doesn't get them, the Chinese parent assumes it's because the child didn't work hard enough. That's why the solution to substandard performance is always to excoriate, punish and shame the child. The Chinese parent believes that their child will be strong enough to take the shaming and to improve from it. (And when Chinese kids do excel, there is plenty of ego-inflating parental praise lavished in the privacy of the home.) Second, Chinese parents believe that their kids owe them everything. The reason for this is a little unclear, but it's probably a combination of Confucian filial piety and the fact that the parents have sacrificed and done so much for their children.

It is probably the only cuisine the world underwritten by a king.In 1663,thd ratio of men to women in New France was 6 to 1.To rectify this imbalance,Louis XlV bestowed 850 young French women with a modest domwry and shipped them to New France to find husbands.With these young women came their knowledge of traditional French cooking.They applied their culinary wisdom to native foods and created such dishes as ‘cretons,’a pork pate.And ‘ce pie’is a rare meat pie prepared with wild game and smothered in a bordelaise sauce.

Thought I seldom answer the telephone, I always answer a letter. I like writing to people I have never met,gradually finding out their interests in life and their personalities. I have made many new friends in this way but I have never made a friend for a telephone call. Writing letters is becoming a lost art. People make the excuse that they have no time to sit down and compose an interesting letter,just as they say they never have time to read books. Yet they find time to do all kinds of useless things:they waste half their lives in unnecessary activities.

お願いします。 Many people benefit from Q&A sites such as OKWave, as they help solve their problems. This is quite understantable. In fact, this is probably the raison d'etre of such Q&A sites; to provide a space where community members can both seek and offer knowledge to help eachother. Putting it another way, people "take advantage" of Q&A sites for their own benefit, be it for their personal enlightenment, professional gains, or for their academic ends. In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with that. However, when "taking advantage" escalates to sheer "exploitation", I begin to wonder. Though a minority, there are those who through in a long passage/text of Japanese or English, hoping that someone will translate it for them. In Japanese, this act is known as "Marunage". It is astonishing that there are even people who do this Marunage repeatedly and continuously. I am in no position to criticize such people who routinely do Marunage, and in deed, there is always a generous, saintly person who responds to the requests. The truth is, however, that those throwing in Marunage questions are academic losers and those answering them, are the winners.
