Nuclear Suppliers Group
The Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) is a multinational body concerned with reducing nuclear proliferation by controlling the export and re-transfer of materials that may be applicable to nuclear weapon development and by improving safeguards and protection on existing materials.
It was founded in 1975 in response to the Indian nuclear test of the previous year. The test demonstrated that certain non-weapons specific nuclear technology could be readily turned to weapons development. Nations already signatories of the NPT saw the need to further limit the export of nuclear equipment, materials or technology. Another benefit was that non-NPT and non-Zangger Committee nations, then specifically France, could be brought in.
A series of meeting in London from 1975 to 1978 resulted in agreements on the guidelines for export, these were published as INFCIRC/254 (essentially the Zangger "Trigger List") by the IAEA. Listed items could only be exported to non-nuclear states if certain IAEA safeguards were agreed to or if exceptional circumstances relating to safety existed.
Because of the series of meetings in London, in the past the NSG was referred to as the London Group or Club, or the London Suppliers Group.
The NSG did not meet again until 1991. The "Trigger List" remained unchanged until 1991, although the Zangger list was regularly updated. The revelations about the Iraqi weapons program following the first Gulf War led to a tightening of the export of so-called dual-use equipment. At the first meeting since 1978, held at the Hague in March 1991, the twenty-six members agreed to the changes, which were published as the "Dual-use List" in 1992, and also to the extension of the original list to more closely match the up-to-date Zangger list. A regular series of plenary meetings was also arranged as was the regular updating of the two key lists.
Initially the NSG had seven members, Canada, the Federal Republic of Germany, France, Japan, USSR, United Kingdom, and United
International Suppliers Network
The International Suppliers Network is a system which logs and tracks vendors. Major companies such as General Motors often use the ISN to establish the "trustworthy" status of a new vendor. The ISN also allows companies to import a validated version of a vendors details directly into their own procurement system.
Companies which have an ISN Profile automatically are issued with an ISN Rating. This is based on a number of key criteria, such as financial stability, and trading history performance.
The ISN is regulated by the International Charter organization.

Supplier Managed Inventory
Just in time manufacturing's process to allow companies to defer the cost of acquiring component parts at a plant location until the supplier delivers them from inventory locations close to the plant that are owned by the supplier. A further development is the ability to Pay on Consumption, which allows a manufacturer to totally avoid component inventory costs until the finished product is "claimed" or completed.

HES still remains a dominant distributor within Australia, despite not being well known.

Nintendo Entertainment System
Unlicensed
.]]
In the late 1980's and early 1990's HES ported games from American Game Cartridges, American Video Entertainment (AVE), Bit Corp, Color Dreams, EPYX, Thin Chen Enterprise (Sachen, Joy Van, etc) and Tengen onto the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) as unlicensed titles, very much against what Nintendo wanted. Some of the games HES distributed had no companies credited and their developers remain unknown. Most games were released in plastic cases like a video box with printed instructions on the inside, however sometimes the AVE titles were released in their original AVE boxes with a HES sticker simply stuck over their logo.
HES at the time became widely known for their unlicensed distribution

''For other meanings, see Bear (disambiguation).''
''Ailuropoda''
''Ursus''
''Tremarctos''
''Arctodus'' (extinct)
A bear is a large mammal of the order Carnivora, family Ursidae. The adjective, ''ursine'', is used to describe things of bearlike nature.
Physical attributes
Common characteristics of bears include a short tail, excellent senses of smell and hearing, five un-retractable claws, and long, dense, shaggy fur.
Bears have a large body with powerful limbs. They are capable of standing up on their hind legs. They have broad paws, long snouts, and round ears. Their teeth are used for defense and tools and depend on the diet of the bear. Their claws are used for ripping, digging, and catching.
Habitats
Bears live in a variety of habitats from the tropics to the Arctic and from forests to snowfields. They are mainly omnivorous, although some have a more specialised diet, such as polar bears. They eat lichens, roots, nuts, and berries. They can also go to a river or other body of water to capture fish. Bears will commonly travel far for food. Hunting times are usually in the dusk or the dawn except when humans are nearby.
Some of the large species, such as the polar bear and the grizzly bear, are dangerous to humans, especially in areas where they have become used to people. For the most part, bears are shy and are easily frightened of humans. They will, however, defend their cubs ferociously.
Reproductive behaviour
The bear's courtship period is very brief. Bears reproduce seasonally, usually after hibernation. Cubs come out toothless, blind, and bald. The cubs, usually born in litters of 1–3, will stay with the mother for six months. They will be fed by milk at first and will start hunting with the mother in three months. Then, they are weaned. However, they will still remain nearby for three years. The cubs are more sexually mature at seven years. Normally, bears are very solitary
Bear
Attriution
I removed the following from the end of the first paragraph of the article:
This entry has been prepared by a fifth grade class in Reno, Nevada
Excellent, but that information belongs on the talk page, not in the article. A good first paragraph in my opinion. The first paragraph of any article, if possible, ought to be understandable by advanced elementary school or middle school students. Fred Bauder 19:19 Jan 29, 2003 (UTC)
Entertaining bears
i think ''entertaining bears'' are not polit. correct. There are organisations which try to give such bears a chance to live as they should. please mention that and don't write in one of the first sentence about the abuse of bears -- a german wikipedian
Caps
Guys, we had a big discussion on the mailing list regarding capitalization of names of animals. Don't remember how it came out (maybe capitalization of all words in name), but please look up whatever is the right way and follow it. Fred Bauder 10:32 2 Jun 2003 (UTC)
:I missed that discussion, but convention holds that animal names should not be capitalized unless they contain a proper name within them (e.g. Thomson's gazelle, Canada goose). Names like "black bear," "polar bear," etc. should not be capitalized. -- Funnyhat 19:09, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Picture
Are we sure that the picture is a brown bear and not a brown colored black bear? Rmhermen 18:56, Sep 8, 2003 (UTC)
:I see that the picture page describes it as black bears so I changed it. Rmhermen 18:59, Sep 8, 2003 (UTC)
More detailed classification
A more detailed classification of the Bear family can be found on the "Nederlands" page. It includes subspecies. GerardM 07:19, 11 Feb 2004 (UTC)
Red Panda
Currently, the Red Panda is listed as being a member both of Ursidae and Procyonidae on the respective family pages. It is listed as Ursidae on its own page. Should it thus be deleted from Procyonidae? john 03:50, 12 Mar 2004
The Three Bears
The Three Bears was a long-running comic strip in the UK comic The Beano. It made its first appearance in issue 881, dated 6 June 1959, drawn by Leo Baxendale at first and Bob McGrath later on.
Ma and Pa Bear and their young son Ted were lazy and gluttonous, and lived in a cave upon a hill. Most storylines revolved around their attempts to steal "grub" from the local storekeeper Hank. Originally disappearing from the comic after issue 2253, dated 21 September 1985, the strip has returned to The Beano several times since then, re-appearing in issues 2391 and 2674 (dated 14 May 1988 and 16 October 1993).
Its most recent re-appearance was in 2000, when, after being a 'Guest Star' since the previous year, it was voted into the comic by Beano readers, beating Tricky Dicky, Inspector Horse and Jocky and Gordon Bennett. This time it was drawn by Mike Pearse.

Bugs Bunny encountered The Three Bears in several cartoons directed by Chuck Jones.

The Three Bears is also a notable children's bedtime story, written by the Brothers Grimm. It was humourously adapted into a popular song in 1946 by songwriter Bobby Troup. This song is often erroneously credited as being by "anonymous".
