...Osaka castle Dezarae ballungay Social Studies, period 5 Mr.Sato Today is a wonderful day to talk about the history of the Osaka Castle. The Osaka Castle is widely known as an emblem of the power and fortune of Hideyoshi Toyotomi. Hideyoshi began construction at the former site of Honganji Temple and completed the magnificent castle, which was reputed as the unparalleled in the country. Hideyoshi employed the castle as his stronghold, he had succeeded quelling the wars that which had continued for more than one century, thereby unifying the entire nation. After his death, Ieyasu Tokugawa, who worked for him was his Chief retainer, was appointed to the shogun and he established the shogunate government in Edo that in Tokyo. In 1615, Ieyasu ruined the Toyotomi family and destroyed the Osaka Castle in the summer of the war Osaka. Thereafter, Tokugawa shogunate reconstructed the Osaka Castle. In 1868 it was held under direct control but when the shogunate lost power the castle fell. Later on in 1931 the main tower was reconstructed in the center of the Osaka Castle, which was used as a military base and with funds raised by the citizens. The present day the main tower is the third generation. It follows the main tower from the Toyotomi period that was destroyed by fire during the summer war, the Tokugawa period which was struck by lightning was burned down. Since its construction the Osaka Castle repeatedly featured as the battleground of the major wars in Japanese history...

...Generally, Tokyo and Osaka are the two major cities is the two major cities in Japan that have a very different characteristic. Culture of Tokyo vs Culture of Osaka Udagawa(n.d.) states that “Originally, there are difference between food culture between Kansai and Kanto and meat is preferred to pork in Kansai. Brand meat such as Matsuzaka meat, Kobe meat and Oumi meat represent this culture and consumption rate of meat per family in Kansai is higher than that of Kanto. In other hand, consumption rate of port per family in Kanto is higher than that of Kansai. It is common for Kansai people to use meat and Kanto people to use pork for cooking Nikujaga, the traditional Japanese home cuisine.”(my translation) 関西と関東の食文化の違いにより，もともと関西は豚肉より牛肉が好まれる。松阪牛，神戸牛，近江牛など関西には牛肉のブランドも多く，一戸あたりの牛肉の消費量は関東よりも多い。逆に関東は豚肉の消費量が関西より多い。肉じゃがの肉も関西では牛肉，関東では豚肉が主流とか。 Gajet of Gajetdaisuke.com explains that while people in Tokyo emphasis on building their career since many of them are responsible for dealing a big projects, people in Kansai emphasis on money because many of them are doing a small business such as running a small manufacturing company or small shop. Kansai peoples are so keen to the money that few people in Kansai receive social aid and few people become a victim of fraud compared to other regions(2010). 東京のように何億円規模のビッグプロジェクトがばんばん乱立してる世界ではシゴト自体に重点を置くのでしょうが、町工場とか個人商店とか職人とかの気質がそのまま活きてる関西では悪い意味ではなく身近な金額のお金についてもっと普段から重視 してる印象があります。そのスタンスは生活保護をうける率とか振り込め詐欺に騙されない率とか、そういうところにも大きく関係してそうですね。 ...

...| Scientists aim to bring mammoth back to lifeThe Yomiuri ShimbunMammoths, which went extinct about 10,000 years ago, may once again walk the Earth.A team of researchers will attempt to resurrect the species using cloning technologies after obtaining tissue this summer from the carcass of a mammoth preserved in a Russian mammoth research laboratory. It has already established a technique to extract DNA from frozen cells."Preparations to realize this goal have been made," said Prof. Akira Iritani, leader of the team and a professor emeritus of Kyoto University.Under the plan, the nuclei of mammoth cells will be inserted into an elephant's egg cells from which the nuclei have been removed to create an embryo containing mammoth genes.The embryo will then be inserted into an elephant's womb in the hope that the animal will give birth to a baby mammoth.Researchers from Kinki University's Graduate School of Biology-Oriented Science and Technology began the study in 1997.On three occasions, the team obtained mammoth skin and muscle tissue excavated in good condition from the permafrost in Siberia.However, most nuclei in the cells were damaged by ice crystals and were unusable. The plan to clone a mammoth was abandoned.In 2008, Dr. Teruhiko Wakayama of Kobe's Riken Center for Developmental Biology succeeded in cloning a mouse from the cells of mouse that had been kept in deep-freeze for 16 years. The achievement was the first in the world.Based on Wakayama's techniques, Iritani's...

... 5 iii. The Ageing Population and its impact on the labour Market 6 iv. Natural disasters and the threat to business continuity 6 and expansion v. Technology and the trends towards international 7 orientation Conclusion 8 Appendices 9 References 17 Executive Summary Changes in the global business environment can create many opportunities for firms operating in any industry however, they can also create significant threats. Therefore, it is imperative that businesses understand the factors that will affect its survival and capacity to compete in an increasingly global market place. The aim of this paper is to apply the PESTLE and Porter’s Five Forces framework to the City of Osaka, Japan and to understand the ‘big picture’ forces that have shaped and continue the landscape of the manufacturing industry from 2000 to date. The analysis reveals that downturns in the economic environment, attracting foreign investing and that an ageing population have a significant impact upon the survival of firms operating in the manufacturing sector. Similarly, our research shows business continuity is heavily influenced by the occurrence or anticipation of natural disasters. These conclusions advocate countermeasures imposed by policy makers who play a pivotal role in responding to uncertainty...

...When people think of Kobe and Yokohama, they would probably find many things in common. Although these two cities are located 700 km away, belong to different cultural sphere, both of two cities have big trading port which make similarities. Yokohama port opened in 1859, which is a bit older than Kobe port. Since then two cities have been following the same history. Kobe and Yokohama were the cities to open for trade with the Western countries following the end of policy of seclusion. These two cities had been contributing to the modernization of Japan. Yokohama port was opened in 1859, eight years older than Kobe port. Being trading port cities and foreign settlements, Kobe and Yokohama have been known as cosmopolitan cities. There are Western styles of buildings, China town, and foreign cemeteries in both of the cities. Now Kobe and Yokohama are popular among young people because they have fashionable atmosphere which enable people to feel as if they were in foreign countries. It can be said that these two cities are remarkably similar. However there are big cultural differences between two cities. Yokohama lies in east part of Japan, which is called “Kanto area”. In contrast, Kobe belongs to “Kansai area”. There are big differences between two worlds such as food, language, fashion, and personality. Kobe is a bit larger than Yokohama city. However, when it comes to population, Yokohama is much greater than Kobe, which means Yokohama is densely populated. Kobe...

...English Essay Just like that – by Michael Richards The story takes place in Australia, where a man drives a boy to the outback to shoot kangaroos. The boy is actually a quite nice shot, but the boy dislikes the situation more and more, as the number of killed kangaroos rises. Finally, the boy spots a male kangaroo, he shots the animal and feels like a man, but he also feels regret. There are only two characters in this short story; we have the boy and the man. The boy is the essential character, and the one we follow throughout the entire story and the man is merely a sort of guide (page 1 line 1 – 9). The man could very easily be the boy’s father, but since he is not mentioned as “the father”, he could also very easily be a man, who the boy shares a bond with. The boy is in his youth and is actually on his way to becoming a man, which he also does at the end (page 4 line 16 – 19), while the man is probably somewhere between 35 -45, since he is still in shape to hunt (page 1 line 16 – 19), but he is still old enough to provide some sort of guidance. The boy relies on the man to help him execute the mortally wounded kangaroos (page 3 line 25 – 30), but the man does not seem to gain anything from this arrangement, besides that I might be his duty to see to it, that the boy completes this rite of passage. The environment is pretty typical for any random outback in Australia; we have kangaroos (page 3 line 12), the temperature is high, the trees...

...Final Danielle Smith ACC401: Federal Income Taxes I Cynthia Ripa February 13, 2012 Final April is a time of the year that every tax paying citizen of the United States has to file their annual income tax. I will be using an example of Harold & Sarah Petersan to explain how to file a form 1040. While I will explain Form 1040, I will include the examples for Schedule A, itemized deductions, and form 2441, child and dependent care expense.

...TASK # 2 OTHERING Othering occurs when one group of people exclude others who they would consider different in some way. By making others feel excluded we boost our own egos making us feel as if we are the better group. Othering is a way in which we believe that our beliefs, our race and our life are better than another groups. We base this decision on one fact alone and that is the fact that they are different in some way from what we believe to be normal. In the poem The White House by Claude McKay it clearly tells us of the hatred he feels from the world around him because of the color of his skin. The line “Oh, I must keep my heart inviolate against the potent poison of your hate.” (McKay, n.d., line 13 and 14) This line tells us that he feels all this hate is coming from the people around him and that he views the world as being against him. It is very clear from this poem that McKay believes very strongly against the exclusion of Africa Americans and their rights. After reading the poem you get a sense of how very strongly he believed in equal rights for all. The line “But I posses the courage and the grace to bear my anger proudly and unbent.” (McKay, n.d. , line 3 and 4) I feel that this demonstrates his strength to preserver despite what he is going through and how angry he may be. In the line “Your door is shut against my tightened face.” (McKay, n.d., Line 1) you can feel his sense of not feeling as if he belongs. He feels as if he is an outsider looking in and...

...Analysis of "Tell the women that we are going" The narrator in "tell the women that we are going" is a third person omniscient narrator with Bills point of view½. I can sees that it is a third person narrator form Bills point of view on page 222 line 28" Bill was thinking how Jerry was getting to be deep, the way he stared all the time and hardly did any talking at all." Here I get a clear example of that the point of view is from Bills perspective. That will say that we know all about what Bill is thinking, felling, his background, see and do. All of this is shown in the shot story, a example is on page 221 first line to line 6 same page, another example is on page 226 line 36 and the following two sentences. Where I get to know what Bill are thinking about the two girls. The narrator do not describe the persons outer in detailed, but the physical environment is describe in more detail, for an example on page 225 line 34 where a mountain is describe, " a hundred yards off the road was a high, sloping, black mound of rock, part of a low range of hills, honeycombed with footpaths and small caves, Indian sign-painting here and there on the cave walls.". The third person narrator do not present Bill thoughts directly, but throw what Jerry is telling and what the person is telling as a narrator. Beside the indirect thoughts I also hear some of the dialogues between Jerry and Bill. In the short story there is two main character, there is Bill and Jerry. Bill is the point of...

...Shakespeare begins his sonnets by introducing four of his most important themes — immortality, time, procreation, and selfishness — which are interrelated in this first sonnet both thematically and through the use of images associated with business or commerce. The sonnet's first four lines relate all of these important themes. Individually, each of these four lines addresses a separate issue. Line 1 concerns procreation, especially in the phrase "we desire increase"; line 2 hints at immortality in the phrase "might never die"; line 3 presents the theme of time's unceasing progress; and line 4 combines all three concerns: A "tender heir" represents immortality for parents, who will grow old and die. According to the sonnet's poet, procreating ensures that our names will be carried on by our children. If we do not have children, however, our names will die when we do. But, the scenario the poet creates in these four lines apparently has been rejected by the young man, whom the poet addresses as "thou," in lines 5–12. Interested only in his own selfish desires, the youth is the embodiment of narcissism, a destructively excessive love of oneself. The poet makes clear that the youth's self-love is unhealthy, not only for himself but for the entire world. Because the young man does not share himself with the world by having a child to carry on his beauty, he creates "a famine where abundance lies" and cruelly hurts himself. The "bud" in line 11 recalls the "rose" from line 2:...

...My Interpretation of Sonnet 138 William Shakespeare is known for his ability to use words and put them in a way many meanings can be derived. Because of the beauty of his words and many interpretations of his work, he has stood the test of time. William Shakespeare simultaneously used structure, word choice, and tone to make each sonnet unique. All of Shakespeare’s sonnets are structured to have fourteen lines divided into three quatrains and one couplet. The quatrains are usually separate ideas with different tones and a couplet at the end of the sonnet tying the three quatrains together. However Sonnet 138 is slightly different than most of his sonnets because its first two quatrains are the same in tone. The first quatrain and second quatrains tell the reader of each lover’s deceit to the other. The third quatrain is where the tone begins to differ. Shakespeare uses iambic pentameter and rhyme in the sonnet so that it can be read in a more fluid and comprehensive way. The sonnet is written in ABAB format to give the poem a better sound when read aloud. Shakespeare’s work has been famous for many reasons and will continue to be great, but his word usage may be what he is most famous for. In Sonnet 138, he used word plays, paradoxes, and metaphors to give depth to the meaning of the poem. With so many different possibilities for interpretation of the same poem, individuals may use their imaginations and take what they want from it. Line 1 in the sonnet begins with an interesting...
