Desertification
.... aid poorer countries. If this
money is used wisely then the causes of desertification may be stopped.
Desertification is caused not only by nature but also by human factors
(over-grazing, poor irrigation, deforestation, and over-cultivation) all of
which are preventable.
Livestock, in many continents, overgrazes and flattens vegetation. Arid
areas, such as the Sahel ("Desertification was brought to the world's
attention by the Sahel disaster..."), the dry plains of India, and semi
deserts of Turkey .....

Evolutionistic View

of years. Evolutionists say that dinosaurs came from six million years

say that fifty million years ago there was horses no bigger than dogs, and
birds as tall as man, three hundred million years ago giant dragon flies
buzzed around in the large forests, six million years ago small animals,

bunch of flowers after their leaves have been removed, and to hang them
upside down out of direct sunlight in a dry, well-ventilated attic, closet
or garage. Ideally, the drying area should have a temperature between
60<198> and 80<198> F and a humidity rate less than 60%. Another method is
to place the flowers in a container and to cover them with clean, fine sand,
or a mixture of borax and cornmeal, or a nonchlorophyll kitty litter. These
inexpensive substances provide the flowers with support, en .....

one of the girls with to ignor e the column of prices during a dinner. She

The Aviary, The Aquarium, And Eschatology
.... what follows is based on rumor, hearsay and
circumstantial evidence. Much is derived from numerous phone calls from Dan
Smith, whose religious beliefs regarding the UFO phenomenon have induced a
messianic zeal to "spread the Word."
These calls have provided a flurry of information on what I have
previously termed "fringe" beliefs, as well as providing the names and
backgrounds of the birds who comprise the Aviary. According to Dan, who
undoubtedly is privy to a wealth of accurate, though not widely k .....

Endangered Species In Canada

these necessities cannot be met.
In this century, loss of habitat has been one of the main caused of
extinction (pg 8, Silverstein). People share the country and the planet
with all the other creatures that live here. As human population grows,
people spread out into areas that once were wild, and they compete with
animals for living space. Mort times than not the animals lose in this
battle.

Opinions On Esoteric Practices

Astrological constellations, which were the predominant sign for each Lunar
month (13 signs, 13 moon cycles to a year). The missing sign is the Snake
or serpent (dependant on where in the world you were born) and it was the
13th house of the system, fitting, if I remember correctly, on one side of
Scorpio. If anyone is claiming true accuracey and results using Astrology
they must be ignoring the current calendar and co nverting back to the

The Making Of The Cat
.... molecules out of the basic components of the atmos- phere. As these
molecules slowly rained into the early oceans, a kind of primordial soup
was created. Via the ultraviolet radiation, light- ning, volcanic action,
and other forms of heat and energy, this soup was able to slowly combine
the organic molecules into ever more com- plex forms: first simple amino
acids, then organic macromolecules, then single-strand RNA molecules, and
finally simple viruses.
The only trouble with the soup theor .....

The Possible Future Of Mankind

Agriculture is born.

Now, people are really getting smart and organized. They live in
towns and cities. The overall quality of life increases and the time frame

Baby Growth And Development

skills are the child's ability to control movement. There are two basic
classifications of motor skills, gross motor skills and fine motor skills.
Gross motor skills are those which involve the large muscles. Whereas,
fine motor skills are those involving the smaller muscle groups. For
example, a child can grasp a big ball in their arms before they can catch a
baseball in their hands. The fine skills of hands and feet are the last to
develop. Third Developmental .....

Canada's Ideal Population - What Is It? And How Should It Be Achieved?

scientists will always be working on new inventions, and are bound to come
up with some alternate manufactured resource that people can use as a
substitute to all the gasses, gasoline and other oil products.
Other problems that would occur due to an increase in population are,
an increase in taxes. More people would be using facilities funded by taxes,
like schools, school supplies, utilities, conservation areas, prisons,

Hurricanes
.... the air soaring upwards in the thunderheads. The air begins
swirling around the storm center, for the same reason that the air swirls
around a tornado center.
As this air swirls in over the sea surface, it soaks up more and more
water vapour. At the storm center, this new supply of water vapor gets
pulled into the thunderhead updrafts, releasing still more energy as the
water vapor condenses. This makes the updrafts rise faster, pulling in even
larger amounts of air and water vapor from the stor .....

noticed anything wrong he would use a piece of chalk to show the person

be set aside in a cage.
Another test was that of sanity. An interpreter would ask each person a
few questions just to find a sensible answer to test mental stability.
The last and most feared doctor checked for disease by lifting the

woman passing by and I asked her for help. That lady's name is Fran
Longboat and as found out later she is a pretty well known person in the
whole Toronto Native community. Fran said that there are quite many Native
professionals in the city and she tried to call a Native lawyer to make an
appointment for me but the person wasn't there. Then I finally got a
business card of a person to interview, guess who? -- A cop! OK I went down
