...interested me. Of those three I will be talking about two of them in this paper. The first painting I will be talking about is "Mount Fuji viewed from the Imai Ferry on the Tone river, Shimosa province" by Shiba Kokan. The painting has Mount Fuji in the background and the Tone River in the forefront with six boats on it. The banks of the Tone River can also be seen with lush greenery on it. I wouldn't say that this painting made me feel anything when I saw it but it more like it piqued my interest due to its vibrant colors and it looked different from the other Japanese paintings I saw. For Example, at the museum they had another painting of Mount Fuji right next to this one but it didn't look as vibrant and it looked kind of bland in my opinion. I was to find out later, after reading the Plaque in front of the Shiba painting, the reason for the difference between the two is that Shiba Kokan was experimenting with western techniques of painting (1). Another thing mentioned on the Plague at the museum, though not mentioned on the information on the web site, is that this Shiba painting was an example of “mud painting". Mud painting was something Shiba Kokan came up with in order to replicate, as closely as possible, western oil paintings. This to me explained why I thought the Shiba painting looked much more vibrant, color wise, than the other Mt Fuji painting next to it. The reason why Shiba experimented with mud...

...Leichleiter 1 Cliff Leichleiter 2-2-2014 English 101 Kristina Young Japanese Village Life Portrayed Through Paintings A daily ritual of walking into work was normal in traditional Japanese Village Life. Depicted in the surreal, natural state of awareness, "Enoshima in the Sagami Province" portrayed village life in Japan before an outside influence cultivated change. A Lovely view of Mt Fuji, softly painted scenery, and dream-like people bring together the essence of village life. Another example of a painting supporting the idea is “Kakitsubata (Iris)” which, explains and narrates, a much similar time in history. A third painting, “True View of the Post Office at Edobashi” enclosed here will bring to light the introduction of westernization into Japanese culture via traditional life. “Industrialization went hand-in-hand with political and cultural Westernization.” (Dower, 1) A fourth painting, “Illustration of Ladies Sewing,” depicts the use of a modern machine. Does Japan seem resilient to change or does it embrace it? Again, two of the paintings suggest heavily that Japanese culture remained similar up to a certain date. The other example is a painting that is opposite of what was previously portrayed. While Japanese Village Life progressed at a normal rate; regardless of western influence, Western culture influenced how Japan went from a traditional way of life to a more modern way of life. Although, Japan kept many of its cultural identity; despite the western influence...

...there’s something to be said for letting it gently infuse itself as well (the water tends to stay a bit clearer as well.) • Don’t add ice to the entire jug, and leave it on a cup-by-cup basis. If you plan on drinking it over time, this can help prevent it from getting diluted as the ice melts. • Start with 2 liters’ of water steeping overnight, and then experiment with longer/shorter times and more or less water. • Squeeze in the juice of 1 lime and/or lemon and then slice up another and add that to give it a little extra citrus kick. • This isn’t for flavor, but this drink looks mighty appealing in a glass pitcher on a hot summer day. ------------------------------------------------- APPLE CINNAMON DETOX WATER A large pitcher Fuji apples Cinnamon sticks (powdered works too, I used about one teaspoon) Ice Water *Update* Somebody suggested a squeeze of lemon to keep the apples fresher! | Oops, I...

...The structure of the joint venture between Xerox Corporation and Fuji Xerox became an issue in the beginning of the 90´s. The growth of the competence from Canon, Richoh and Minolta in the low-end copiers and Kodak and IBM in the high-end has led them to lose market share. The growth of the Asian and South Pacific Market as well as the necessity of Fuji Xerox to be more independent becomes a challenge for the managers of the Xerox Group. We need to find the best practices in product designs, manufacturing, and management ideas to continue this synergy and fight against the growing competence. To understand our situation in this case we most analyze how Fuji Xerox became important for Xerox Corporation. In the beginning of the 60´s Fuji Xerox started as a reseller for xerographic products in Japan and Fuji Photo Film was the manufacturer it was a 50/50 joint venture between FX and RX this last one with 50% of profits. Xerox Corporation itself was to have no direct relationship with FX. This relation changes when FX started to develop their own manufacturing capabilities, XC leave them a small budget of R&D and FX Start to create their own models. However competition takes a place in the Japanese market and to counteract it FX launched the “Total Quality Control Program” (TQC) by looking in the customer needs (reduction of costs, elimination of waste and new technologies) they introduce to the market the FX3500 at half price of any comparable, with half number of parts....

...Foreword A history would by its nature, inevitably have gaps and missions with regards to local history. We can continue the work began by the older generation by filling in the gaps and omissions and presenting alternative viewpoints that reflect more accurately the complex nature of our collective history. We are all familiar with the souvenir programs generated by countless town fiestas and similar community celebrations that almost always contain a short account of the town’s history but we always fail to produce something to be of lasting value. One of the hazards of writing a historical document destined to be used as a future reference which may draw special interest from the readers and may have a wide circulation is the gathering of accurate and reliable information. It is surely one of the reasons why Castillejos has no written document about its own local history for no one has shown their intention to write something which is of utmost importance to unfold significant local stories and to enrich awareness and consciousness about the origin and roots of a true blooded citizen of Castillejos. According to Dr. Jose Rizal, “In order to understand the destiny of a people, it is necessary to open the book of its past.” Now is the opportune time to look back to be able to know ourselves better, the essence of our existence today and understand the reasons of what and how we become today. For any inaccuracy and misinterpretation...

...Everi THE INTERACTION OE COGNITIVE BIAS, PSYCHOLOGICAL SAEETY, AND SYSTEM COMPLEXITY Michael A. Roberto B usiness leaders and scholars have learned important lessons from tragedies such as the Challenger disaster, the Bay of Pigs fiasco, and the Three Mile Island accident.' Similarly, we can leam important lessons about leadership and decision making from the unfortunate events that took place on Mount Everest several years ago. Survivors have offered many competing explanations for this tragedy. While they have focused on the tactical blunders, this research examines the underlying cognitive, interpersonal, and systemic forces that played a role in the incident. This conceptual analysis suggests that cognitive biases, team beliefs about interpersonal risk taking, and system complexity interacted to create a fatal disaster. Incredible achievement and great tragedy unfolded on the treacherous slopes of Everest on May 10, 1996. TVventy-three people reached the summit along the South Col route in Nepal on that day, including Rob Hall and Scott Fischer, two of the world's most skilled and experienced high-altitude climbers. Unfortunately, Hall, Fischer, and three members of their expeditions died as a storm enveloped the mountain during their descent. Others barely escaped with their lives after many hours wandering in the dark while braving subzero temperatures. Hall, the leader of the Adventure Consultants expedition, had established an impressive track...

...Question 1. After understanding and analyzing the tragedy of Mount Everest , May 1996 that took lives of eight climbers during summit attempts, we can conclude that the tragedy may occur due to several root causes whether it is by nature or human error. The major factor that leads to this tragedy is that all the climbers are lack of team work and communication. Even though they are in the same expedition but they have their own individual’s goal, eager to reach at the summit. For example, Jon Krakauer one of the clients of Adventure Consultant said that he felt disconnected from the climbers around him, they were a team in name only. Supposedly, during the acclimatization exercises, the climbers should take time to get to know each other, learn their responsibilities as a team build their confidence and trust to their teammates, instead they were doubting each other whether they could rely own their team member during difficult times. That also might cause this tragedy, which is lack of trust towards team member. One of the potential causes of the tragedy was overconfidence. Overconfidence occurs when leaders believe that their experience, abilities, skill, or maybe even luck, will allow them to overcome any challenge they face. Research has shown that such overconfidence can lead to poor decision making as leaders substitute their own personal skill for careful analysis of the situation and planning. Hall, in particular, may have been prone to overconfidence. He had reached...
