Overview 1.1 Historical Background Asbestos mining was totally stopped in Australia by 1983 while at many countries around the world, it is still mined in large quantities. In addition, mined asbestos just represented a small percentage of the asbestos used in Australia (around 5%) and the bulk was imported. The majority of asbestos (90%) used throughout the world, including Australia, was white asbestos. Australia banned the use or import of blue and brown asbestos or asbestos products in the mid-1980s, and banned all manufacture or import of white asbestos products in December 2003. 1.2 Definition Asbestos is the name given to a group of naturally occurring minerals found in rock formations (HIBBS & ASSOCIATES PTY LTD 2012). 1.3 Asbestos specifications Asbestos fibres are heat...

...Doing Business in Japan The U.S. Commercial Service provides guidance on doing business in Japan and offers valuable assistance to help U.S. businesses exporting to Japan. Why doing business in Japan? As the world’s fourth-largest buyer of American products, Japan is a market that American companies should not overlook, but approach with a thoughtful strategy. Japan is a technology powerhouse, a “proving ground” for consumer requirements, and stands in the vanguard with respect to the sweeping changes recently seen in developed market demographics. Most U.S. state economic development agencies are also well aware of the important foreign direct investment coming into their communities from Japan. While the reasons U.S. firms engage with Japan are diverse, savvy firms recognize that underestimating the strategic and tactical importance of the Japanese market may disadvantage them not only in Japan, but in the United States and third-country markets as well. Japan is back in the business news headlines in 2013, owing in part to a rising stock market, a sharply lower yen, and stirrings of domestic demand for both personal consumption and capital investment. The new economic policy linked to these developments is known as “Abenomics”-- a three pronged strategy of bold monetary loosening, fiscal stimulus centered on infrastructure spending, and growth-oriented structural reform. While the implications and ultimate success of this strategy in reigniting growth in Japan are far...

...this proposal, OMB Number 1140–0060, because I do not believe that any non-citizen should be allowed to purchase and or maintain a firearm while in the United States. If there is, or they feel there is a sufficient threat to themselves, they may contact the police department or simply return to their country of origin. A change to the current regulation will not only affect me, but every single citizen in the USA and business owner alike. We cannot allow non-citizens to purchase and maintain firearms, it is a right that the citizen enjoys and should not be extended to non- citizens. The proposed change discusses nonimmigrant alien information being used to determine if a nonimmigrant alien is eligible to purchase, obtain, possess, or import a firearm. Additionally, nonimmigrant aliens then must maintain the documents while in possession of firearms or ammunition in the United States for verification purposes. The public comment that I would submit for this proposal is, “That I strongly disagree with allowing non-immigrant aliens the ability to acquire firearms while sojourning in the USA. There is no reason that a person who is not a citizen of this country need be allowed to purchase or own a firearm, especially since that person is likely not going to reside in the country for an extended period of time, and likely will not become a citizen. We cannot allow the rights of our citizens to be applied broadly to any individual who enters this country, especially when they have...

...STAT582 HW7 Review of Two Statistical Software Packages – Minitab and SPSS Yan Sun As a statistician, have you ever got stuck in front of your computer, trying to figure out the correct syntax of a command to type into the little programming window, and just could not get it right? At that moment, I am sure you would wish there was some magic easy button that you could just click and then things would work the way they should. Well, magic does not happen everyday. However, some better choices can make life easier. Instead of using programmed command lines, some statistical software make their usage much easier by using a menu-driven interface. This kind of software are like well-organized control panels. Each of the things you need to do is controlled by a button somewhere on the panel. Once you get familiar with the layout of the panel, the actual work should be quite an enjoyable process. Several good menu-interface statistical software are available. Among them, Minitab and SPSS are the most widely used ones. This report serves as an introduction to these two software packages. For each of them, the software’s specialties, advantages, and suitability will be discussed. Some important functionalities, their implementations, and programming in the two software will be introduced. This report also includes ‘helpful resources’, which I personally found very helpful in learning and using the two software. 1. Minitab History Minitab was...
