  • Polar Bear Use of a Persistent Food Subsidy: Insights from Non-Invasive Genetic Sampling in Alaska
    Polar bear use of a persistent food subsidy: Insights from non-invasive genetic sampling in Alaska Jason Herreman1,3 and Elizabeth Peacock2 1North Slope Borough, Department of Wildlife Management, P.O. Box 69, Barrow, AK 99723 USA 2US Geological Survey, Alaska Science Center, 4210 University Drive, Anchorage, AK 99508 USA Abstract: Remains of bowhead whales (Balaena mysticetus) harvested by In˜upiat whalers are deposited in bone piles along the coast of Alaska and have become persistent and reliable food sources for polar bears (Ursus maritimus). The importance of bone piles to individuals and the population, the patterns of use, and the number, sex, and age of bears using these resources are poorly understood. We implemented barbed-wire hair snaring to obtain genetic identities from bears using the Point Barrow bone pile in winter 2010–11. Eighty-three percent of genotyped samples produced individual and sex identification. We identified 97 bears from 200 samples. Using genetic mark–recapture techniques, we estimated that 228 bears used the bone pile during November to February, which would represent approximately 15% of the Southern Beaufort Sea polar bear subpopulation, if all bears were from this subpopulation. We found that polar bears of all age and sex classes simultaneously used the bone pile. More males than females used the bone pile, and males predominated in February, likely because 1/3 of adult females would be denning during this period. On average, bears spent 10 days at the bone pile (median 5 5 days); the probability that an individual bear remained at the bone pile from week to week was 63% for females and 45% for males.

It’s two years since the last issue – poor form for an annual! – but here’s evidence that something’s still astir on the Ship of Fools. Members will know that following John Beddoes’ resignation as chairman the Society is in a period of transition. The meeting on 13th March resolved that we will continue to pursue our original aim to publicise and promote the work of Thomas Lovell Beddoes. But there are still difficulties to overcome, the most urgent being to appoint a new chairman and secretary. This must be done at the AGM on 25th September (1 pm at The Devereux, 20 Devereux Court, Essex Street, The Strand, London WC2R 3JJ). We hope that by holding the meeting in London as many members as possible will be able to attend and join the discussion: the Society needs you.

  • Bear Aware Checklist Because Most of Alaska Is Bear Country, We All Need to Be Aware of Bears
    Bear Aware Checklist Because most of Alaska is bear country, we all need to be aware of bears. Some of us live in neighborhoods where bears are commonly seen. In those areas, it is especially important when bears are awake (April- November) to keep garbage and other bear attractants out of reach of bears. Directions: Identify items around your home that might attract bears. If you answer “yes” to any questions below, you have some work to do! Refer to the solution sheet on the back to figure out how you can make your home and neighborhood safer. Garbage •Is there any trash outside your house, garage or shed that is not stored in a bear- □ YES □ NO resistant container? Bird Seed •Are there any bird feeders out during the months when bears are awake? Also, are □ YES □ NO there any leftover seeds on the ground? Pets and other animals •Is there any pet food stored outside where bears might get it? □ YES □ NO •Do you have any livestock on your property (chickens, ducks, goats, horses, beehives) that are not protected from bears by an electric fence? □ YES □ NO Fish •Do you have any fishy-smelling gear (nets, lines, coolers) or fish cleaning tables □ YES □ NO outside your home? •Do you keep fish waste outside your home or outside in garbage cans (non bear- resistant)? □ YES □ NO Freezers, Smokers and BBQs •Do you have any freezers outside that might provide easy access to bears? □ YES □ NO •Does your BBQ have leftover food or grease on it? □ YES □ NO •Do you leave your smoker outside unattended? □ YES □ NO Compost •Do you have a compost pile on your property that might attract bears? □ YES □ NO Created by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game and the Anchorage Bear Committee Bear Aware Checklist: Solution Sheet What YOU do really matters!

Introduction Native bees are a hidden treasure. From alpine meadows in the national forests of the Rocky Mountains to the Sonoran Desert in the Coronado National Forest in Arizona and from the boreal forests of the Tongass National Forest in Alaska to the Ocala National Forest in Florida, bees can be found anywhere in North America, where flowers bloom. From forests to farms, from cities to wildlands, there are 4,000 native bee species in the United States, from the tiny Perdita minima to large carpenter bees. Most people do not realize that there were no honey bees in America before European settlers brought hives from Europe. These resourceful animals promptly managed to escape from domestication. As they had done for millennia in Europe and Asia, honey bees formed swarms and set up nests in hollow trees.

  • THE COLLECTED POEMS of HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam
    1 THE COLLECTED POEMS OF HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam 2 PREFACE With the exception of a relatively small number of pieces, Ibsen’s copious output as a poet has been little regarded, even in Norway. The English-reading public has been denied access to the whole corpus. That is regrettable, because in it can be traced interesting developments, in style, material and ideas related to the later prose works, and there are several poems, witty, moving, thought provoking, that are attractive in their own right. The earliest poems, written in Grimstad, where Ibsen worked as an assistant to the local apothecary, are what one would expect of a novice. Resignation, Doubt and Hope, Moonlight Voyage on the Sea are, as their titles suggest, exercises in the conventional, introverted melancholy of the unrecognised young poet. Moonlight Mood, To the Star express a yearning for the typically ethereal, unattainable beloved. In The Giant Oak and To Hungary Ibsen exhorts Norway and Hungary to resist the actual and immediate threat of Prussian aggression, but does so in the entirely conventional imagery of the heroic Viking past. From early on, however, signs begin to appear of a more personal and immediate engagement with real life. There is, for instance, a telling juxtaposition of two poems, each of them inspired by a female visitation. It is Over is undeviatingly an exercise in romantic glamour: the poet, wandering by moonlight mid the ruins of a great palace, is visited by the wraith of the noble lady once its occupant; whereupon the ruins are restored to their old splendour.

  • Heraldry: How to Create Your Arms the Sword Conservatory, Inc. (TSC) Glossary Tinctures
    Heraldry: How to Create Your Arms The Sword Conservatory, Inc. (TSC) Heraldic Arms - a pattern of colors and objects – were first created in order to identify knights on the battlefield, whose identities would otherwise have been concealed by their armor & helm. Originally, each knight would have different heraldry, so you could tell which individual you were looking at. So, the heraldry that a knight used was a description of who he was: brave, rich, loyal, etc. Only later did individual heraldic arms become associated with a family which was passed down from one generation to the next. At TSC, we create heraldic arms that says who we are as individuals, just like the original knights. And just like the original knights, every one of our heraldries must be different. So, when you have a design, it must be approved to make sure that no other knight already has heraldry that is the same (or very close) to yours. This guide will tell you about how heraldry is created: the colors, patterns, and some rules. If you do further reading, you will find more patterns and many, many more rules. Don't worry about them! (Unless you want to.) Over it's 900 year history, heraldry has become extremely complex. We just need to worry about the basics, which are more in keeping with what the early knights would have used. Glossary • Blazon – A written description of a heraldic arms . It uses medieval French to "paint a picture" with words. If you know how to understand a Blazon, you can picture it in your head.
