Abstract
The paper begins by explaining the process of pollination and its necessity for reproduction. It distinguishes between different reproductive structures - sexual cells within the plant or cones. The paper first examines the procedure of cone-bearing pollination and then that of flowering pollination. This is followed by a study of self- pollination and the strengths and weaknesses possessed by species with this type of pollination. The benefits of cross-pollination are discussed and the paper concludes with a look at the role of pollinators.

From the Paper
"Pollination is when pollen grains from the male structures of plants are transferred to the female structures of plants. The pollen grains are vital for reproduction " they contain cells that will develop into male sex cells. The female structure contains the female sex cells, more commonly known as the egg. Pollination prepares the plant for fertilization " when the two sex cells join. Nearly all grains, vegetables, wildflowers, trees, and fruits must go through pollination in order to produce seeds (or fruits). Pollination is also critically important in the reproduction of crops grown agriculturally, such as corn, rice, wheat, apples, tomatoes, and squash. (Dickson)"

Abstract
This paper is on how different approaches and definitions of debts affect the loan-bearing and loan-lending country at large. It explains the problems facing the world in the era of globalization towards the goal of global equity. It looks at how debt affects the country's fiscal policies and, in turn, affects the society.

From the Paper
"Globalization is believed to be a powerful source for spreading equality in a world that is filled with inequality between countries as well as within and this phenomenon has simply increased over the last 200 years. Politicians claim that inequality has began to disappear since the last two decades, but there is evidence that it still exists. The fact is that only the countries that adopted the protrade policies were successful with globalization and their economies were booming during the 1960's and the 1970's."

From the Paper
"Martin Luther King and Malcolm X were black leaders who took very different approaches to the problems faced by blacks in America. One result has been that King has traditionally had a better reputation among the general white population than has Malcolm X. King's methods were based on non-violence, while Malcolm X was perceived as advocating violence, at least at certain points in his career. King was a minister, while Malcolm X had been in prison. King advocated a policy of integration and the inclusion of whites in the struggle for black equality, while Malcolm X called for separatism at times and in any case advocated blacks taking control of their own destiny without the participation of whites. These are some of the reasons why King was more accepted in white society than was Malcolm X.

African-Americans have undertaken a number of political..."

From the Paper
"James H. Cone, in Martin & Malcolm & America: A Dream Or A Nightmare, presents the thesis that Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X, for all their perceived personal and political differences, were leaders whose vision of America and its racial problems were growing increasingly close to one another. This is not to say that if the two men had lived longer they would have advocated the same philosophies and policies, but it is to say that there were many areas where their visions were complementary rather than contradictory:


Integrationists and nationalists complemented each other. Both philosophies were needed if America was going to come to terms with the truth of the black experience. Either philosophy alone was a half-truth and thus a distortion of the black reality in America."

From the Paper
"This research examines the Christology presented by James H. Cone in his book God of the Oppressed. The research will provide background information on the author and then discuss his account of the figure of Christ from the standpoint of positioning where Jesus stands in the cosmology of religion, the meaning that Jesus has for modern experience, and the particular Christological emphasis that Cone identifies as most appropriate in his work. The research will conclude with a critique and evaluation of Cone's work that will be intended to place his views in the context of modern Christian thought.
It may seem something of a tautology to assert that Christianity could be nothing without Christ, but the content of that statement is that Christ functions as a powerful symbol of both history and religion and that symbols are important to both ..."

Abstract
Beginning with a look at general perceptions of the military, this paper seeks out to explain the purpose and reason behind military customs. It provides a perspective on the purpose of the military and its operations. A large portion of it focuses on time management. The paper takes a final look at the role of leadership that develops time management and how this forces one to follow military customs as necessary.

From the Paper
"The military exists also as the guardian of the people in a democratic nation. The mandate cannot be achieved unless leadership and discipline are imposed. Thus, leadership can only be attained through training and education; discipline is one of the results of the training and education. When a soldier or an officer in the military is trained, he or she is not only trained in their core competency or occupational skill but also in the rich tradition, history, customs and courtesies of the service. Military leadership qualities are formed in a progressive and sequential series of carefully planned training, educational, and experiential events. Military leaders tend to hold high levels of responsibility and authority at low levels of our organizations. (Kolditz, 2009) The military personnel also learns the value of sacrifice, selfless service and what it means to perform a task or mission on time and on course. Time management then becomes also a key ingredient is initially instilled during basic training."

Abstract
This paper discusses the phenomenon of the black bear's reappearance in the state of New Jersey. It gives a description of the bear's eating and hunting habits and looks at the problem of poaching and extinction facing this species. The paper describes the growth pattern the bears follow, its reproduction rate and relation to its offspring. It also looks at wildlife control problems facing the authorities.

From the Paper
"The black bear, ursus americanus, has made a comeback in the state of New Jersey. The black bear is the smallest and most widely distributed member of the bear family. (Barker 143) It has several color phases and is usually black and shiny. Their weight normally is about 200 to 300 pounds, although 600-pound specimens have been reported. Their total length is 4 to 6 feet. The male is solitary most of the year, but during mating season, he may choose one or more females to be with. The cubs are born in January or February while the mother is hibernating. Usually two cubs are in a litter but sometimes only one is born and, as many as five can be born, which is rare."

Abstract
This nine page paper examines why global warming has become the primary threat facing polar bears. The writer looks at the Arctic polar bear population, which has been estimated to be approximately twenty-five thousand, of which about fifteen-thousand are in Canada, and has been impacted in a number of negative ways by climate change caused by air pollution. For example, the writer notes studies which have documented measurable effects in the body sizes and reproductive success of bears at Hudson's Bay and in other Arctic regions, and data that indicates that these changes are due to gradual climate change in the Arctic because of global warming.

From the Paper
"Based upon studies conducted over the last twenty years, many scientists have concluded that global warming has become the primary threat facing polar bears. The Arctic polar bear population, which has been estimated to be approximately twenty-five thousand, of which about fifteen-thousand are in Canada, has been impacted in a number of negative ways by climate change caused by air pollution. (Stirling 12) For example, studies have documented measurable effects in the body sizes and reproductive success of bears at Hudson's Bay and in other Arctic regions, and data indicates that these changes are due to gradual climate change in the Arctic because of global warming."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses Guy Vanderhaeghe's short story, 'The Dancing Bear' by analyzing selected quotations from the story. The writer also compares Shakespeare's character of King Lear to the main character in 'The Dancing Bear'.

From the Paper
"Guy Vanderhaeghe describes in 'The Dancing Bear' an old man who lay sleeping on the taut red rubber sheet as if he were some specimen mounted and pinned there to dry. With this introduction the theme of the story is established via figurative language which likens the elderly man to some insect that has been captured killed and mounted for display. In this essay a number of quotations from the short story will be analyzed and linked to the central theme of ..."
