Abstract
The paper discusses the oyster appellations of North America: where they come from, what they look like, where they go and the manner in which they appear in the cuisines of various cultures. The paper relates that naturally, some precision is required when determining which appellations in particular are discussed; as Jacobson (2007) makes abundantly clear, there dozens of different oyster appellations in America and it is impossible to discuss all of them in a paper of this size. At the same time, the paper asserts that it seemed unsatisfactory to single just one oyster appellation out when there were so many worthy ones that could also be discussed at length. In the end, the paper explores the oyster appellations of the province of New Brunswick - possibly the heart-land of Canadian oyster fishing. The paper examines the Caraquet Bay oyster; the Beausoleil oyster; the Lameque oysters; the La Saint Simon oyster; the New Brunswick flat oyster; and the Northumberland oyster. The paper shows how these different oyster types bear many similarities but are all bound by one common thing: they are all popular oyster delicacies that are unique to the waters of New Brunswick.
From the Paper
"The following paper will discuss the oyster appellations of North America: where they come from (some of them, anyways), what they look like (a general description should suffice), where they go and the manner in which they appear in the cuisines of various cultures - and these items will be discussed in precisely that order. Naturally, some precision is required when determining which appellations in particular will be discussed; as Jacobson (2007) makes abundantly clear, there dozens of different oyster appellations in America and it is impossible to discuss all of them in a..."

Abstract
The first of the two companies up for discussion is Molson Canadian, a subsidiary of Molson Coors. Presently, Molson has 6 breweries operating across Canada and employs more than 3000 people in those facilities. It invests in the surrounding community via sports sponsorships and via charitable activities (Molson Canadian, 2008). Additionally, Molson-Coors, the parent company of Molson Canadian, earned just over $8.3 billion in sales in 2007 - a slight increase from the previous year's totals (Molson Coors, 2008). In summation, the company appears to be one that gives generously to local sporting activities - and it is certainly financially viable, thereby offering the prospect of long-term stability for local residents.

Abstract
In 1950, Adorno, Frenkel-Brunswick, and Levinson and Sanford delved into the concept of the authoritarian personality (TAP). Some of their prime assumptions include that those with TAP are submissive to authority and look to them for the definitions of right and wrong; that they are prejudiced towards an out-group, which they consider weak and inferior. The present study is based on these assumptions. An opportune sample of 100 male students of "hard sciences" were given a questionnaire assessing their susceptibility to an authoritarian source of information over that of a non-authoritarian source, along with Rokeach's Dogmatism scale (measuring authoritarianism). No significant correlation was found between the two factors. Although the findings do not support Adorno, et. al.'s assumptions, they provide evidence for forthcoming theories.
From the Paper
"Hitler, Mussolini and many other political and national leaders of the 1930-1950 period adopted and pushed authoritarianism as a strong challenge to democracy. Followers flocked to their banners" (Whitten, 1976, p.622). In an attempt to explain this phenomenon, Adorno, Frenkel-Brunswick, Levinson and Sanford (1950, which will be referred to in the text as AFLS) carried out a search for possible roots and causes of the Authoritarian Personality (TAP) type. Starting at the roots of anti-Semitism, it became a psychological study of ethnocentrism based on Freudian Psychodynamic theory. A person with TAP was defined as "a potentially fascistic individual, one whose structure is such as to render him particularly susceptible to anti-democratic propaganda" and these individuals "exhibit numerous characteristics that go together to form a syndrome", Adorno et al (1950, p.1). These were conventionalism, authoritarian submission, authoritarian aggression, superstition and stereotypy, power and toughness, destructiveness and cynicism, projectivity, concern with sexual goings-on and dogmatism. Some argued that this definition was too limited and too concerned with political opinion, thus defining it as "the desire to impose one's will on others" Ray (1976 cited in Louw-Potgieter (2001), p.78)."

Abstract
The paper first defines the words myth, tradition and legend. Resulting from the definitions, the writer states that the so-called myths surrounding the Loyalists should more correctly be labeled legend and tradition. The paper explains that when the Loyalist was extirpated from American soil for being un-American, the Loyalist, robbed of his identity, and forced to create a new one, insisted he was British. The writer explains the relationship between the Loyalist and Britain to be one of child to parent. The writer explains the development of the Loyalist legend, noting that the natural antipathy many Loyalists felt towards the Americans, mingled with feelings of superiority, always warred with the knowledge that America was, in fact, their true homeland. The writer posits that the delay in Canada attaining independence may also be traced to the Loyalist tradition because English Canadians always seemed nervous about cutting the ties between mother and child. The writer concludes that the Loyalist tradition, although muted, is still a force in Canadian life and that this can be seen in the fact that Canada still belongs to the British Commonwealth.
From the Paper
"A historical myth can have several definitions. A useful one is that it is "a means of self-identification, deriving its justification from an ideological reinterpretation of the historical past." Here the key word is self-identification. When he was extirpated from American soil for being un-American, the Loyalist, robbed of his identity, and forced to create a new one, insisted he was British. But since he was not British, he had to define for himself a special relationship with Britain; the only one available to him was that of child to parent. Hence so many Loyalist references to the "mother country," and so long an interval before Canada gained independence. Even today the titular head of Canada is also from the "mother country."
"Because events had made him a loser, the Loyalist desperately needed to turn his defeat into victory. He especially needed to do so in those areas-such as New Brunswick and Upper Canada-which he had founded, because no nation can be born out of defeat. He did so by emphasizing his loyalty: loyalty to Britain, to the British Constitution, and to the monarchy. In fact, loyalty came to function "as the founding and integrating myth of the new society." Loyalty, however, was never focused on Canada but always on Britain. Two manifestations of the focus, at least up to the 1960s, were a Canadian national anthem and a flag both of which were British. "

Abstract
The paper provides a brief overview of the 1976 Tangshan earthquake in China, the 1982 New Brunswick quake and the 1906 quake of San Francisco. The paper examines the intensity of the damage and how well the situation was handled. The paper shows how imminent warning for major earthquakes is critical in saving lives, especially in densely populated regions. The paper discusses, however, that although scientists are able to predict quakes based on fault lines, they are still unable to issue short-term predictions with any certainty.
From the Paper
"Earthquakes have always been feared for their catastrophic effects and strike without much of a warning. Many recent earthquakes such as the El Salvador quake and the one that happened in India in 2001, and more recently the earthquake in Indian Ocean that triggered the devastating tsunami in Asia, have all proved that major earthquakes tend to be unpredictable in spite of the advanced scientific equipments used by seismologists. Though scientists now have knowledge about seismic faults and can predict where the next earthquake could occur they do not yet possess the knowledge to predict when the next 'big one will strike" [Sandra Blakeslee]"

Abstract
This is a historical geography paper for which gazetteer maps and figures were provided. The writer includes a look at Acadian settlement, post-U.S. Revolution and comparative material regarding Quebec, en route to the history of agriculture as it affected low industrialization in Nova Scotia. The writer also discusses some comparison with New Brunswick, NFLD and western provinces.
From the Paper
"This paper reflects an interesting exercise in deducing changes in agriculture in what is now the Canadian province of Nova Scotia, from the mid-17th century establishment of a French settlement of Acadia that was annexed by the British in the later 18th century, on to the end of the 19th century. The approaches of Historical Geography allow understanding of longstanding patterns, and the importance of regional and local patterns of social, political, technological and market change, towards an ongoing place apart, in an unique Nova Scotia environment."
