... was Japan. Countless numbers of Japanese people were dead, and land, buildings, and entire cities were destroyed. For the first time in Japan's history, their "God" had spoken to the public destroying his immortal reputation. During the postwar years, Japan looked to the major powers of the world to develop a foundation for a new country. Included in this foundation was a need for new ideas and dreams. Of course Japan did not completely erase thousands of years of tradition and culture, but Japan did take many international ideas and transformed them into her own. In the Movie Mr. Baseball, a Japanese woman describes Japan's borrowing techniques. "Japan ...

... the company’s OJT program. Should it be changed? The companies current program should be changed. The program is inadequate and useless because the current program consist of reading the safety information with a minimum amount of on-the-job training. The first line supervisor shows the employee how to do a job once, watches while the employee does the job once and then leaves. The employee should be shown more than once how to perform a job and an experienced worker should be assigned to new employees for a few days. The experienced worker will ensure that the new employee is doing the job properly an ...

... seems like a pretty heavy statement. Actually it is pretty straight - forward. What is meant by "rational behavior or interdependance?" Rational behavior in game theory is the assumption that moral critique aside, the players in the game will act in a way which provides them with the greatest benefits.. Interdependence is the idea that what one player does will directly affect the other and vice -versa. By players I am talking about any two interdependant variables, whether they be people, countries, animals etc. Game theorist take apart a situation involving two players and systematically analyze their objectives and their potential outcomes. In doing so they ...

... a critical part of shooting. Always wear eye and ear protection of some sort, especially when at a shooting range. Using eye and ear protection will insure that you don't damage your ears from the extremely loud noise of shooting, and protect your eyes from ejecting shells and backblast. Eye and ear protection can be rented or bought from any shooting range or sports store like Jumbo Sports or Wal-Mart. Never point the rifle at anybody. A firearm no matter what is always treated as if it were loaded. Every year people are shot and killed because they thought the gun was p.2 unloaded. Check to see if the rifle is actually loaded. Do this by pushing up the b ...

... The first important barrier according to (Keenan et al., (1998) is concerned with how nurses and physicians have not been socialized to collaborate with each other and do not believe they are expected to do so. Nurse and physicians have traditionally operated under the paradigm of physician dominance and the physician’s viewpoint prevails on patient care issues. Collaboration, on the other hand, involves mutual respect for each other’s opinions as well as possible contributions by the other party in optimizing patient care. Collaboration (Gray, 1989) requires that parties, who see different aspects of a problem, communicate together and cons ...

... Had he not been stopped, he could have caused some real national defense problems for the United States (Sussman 66). Other "small time" hackers affect people just as much by stealing or giving away copyrighted software, which causes the prices of software to increase, thus increasing the price the public must pay for the programs. Companies reason that if they have a program that can be copied onto a disc then they will lose a certain amount of their profit. People will copy it and give to friends or pass it around on the Internet. To compensate, they will raise the price of disc programs. CD Rom programs cost more to make but are about the same price as disc ...

... first impressions of Mr Bingley were based upon his behaviour and physical appearance. “Oh! My dear, I am quite delighted with him. He is so excessively handsome!” (Page 16) Mrs Bennett has a driving force in her behaviour to marry her daughters to wealthy men, who were financially stable and socially accepted, so her liking to Mr Bingley is reinforced by his interest in her eldest daughter Jane. “Mr Bingley thought her quite beautiful, and danced with her twice. Think of that my dear; he actually danced with her twice; and she was the only creature in the room that he asked a second time!” (Page 15) In contrast, Mrs Bennett’s first impression of Mr Darcy w ...

... on our economy, culture, and the society. Already, in the face of advances and rapid changes of technologies, the communications environment begins to put more emphasis on the carrier rather than the content. Several initiatives, proposed by CRTC, are typical examples of it. Society has little control over it. Once it was out, you must adapt it for better utilization. Competitive broadcasting environment was also established with the introduction of satellite broadcasting system. Canadian programming services suddenly face an increasing competition from U.S and foreign programming services. The idea of "consumer-driven TV" also appears with the convenience of ...

... the tables can be the trickiest step in the database – the reports you want to print, the forms you was to use, the questions you want answered – don’t necessarily provide clues about the structure of the tables that produce them. You don’t need to design your tables using Microsoft Access. In fact, it may be better to sketch out and rework your design on paper first. A table should not contain duplicate information, and information should not be duplicated between tables. After you have designed the tables, fields, and relationships you need, it’s time to study the design and detect any flaws that might remain. It ...

... a polynomial function? Lets find out. First, lets assume that we have a function in the form y= f(x) that looks like the graph below. We'll start out trying to approximate function values near x=0. To do this we start out using the lowest order polynomial, f0(x)=a0, that passes through the y-intercept of the graph (0,f(0)). So f(0)=ao. Next, we see that the graph of f1(x)= a0 + a1x will also pass through x= 0, and will have the same slope as f(x) if we let a0=f1(0). Now, if we want to get a better polynomial approximation for this function, which we do of course, we must make a few generalizations. First, we let the polynomial fn(x)= a0 + a1x + a2x2 + ... ...
