Penguins And Their Eyes
... submerged long enough to search out and chase whatever catches their fancy.
On dry land, it's a different story-or has been up to now. Waddling along on their flat little feet, eyes fixed intently on the ground, penguins appear myopic, inefficient and generally out of place. In fact the reverse is true. During a recent stay on the Falkland Islands, a Canadian researcher discovered that penguins are able to recognize individuals and navigate the rocky terrain on which they live quite well. Long of body and short of leg, they probably poke their heads forward as an aid to balance. And as for looking at the ground, they're merely-like us-keeping an eye on where ...

Soap Operas
... the simple manly answer that they only watch the soap opera because they have "hot chicks". Yeah, sure.
According to a recent survey that I happened to spot on Global News, studies show people that watch are much happier and less stressed than those who don't. Well who wouldn't feel less stressed when you see what goes on in the lives of these poor characters? For example, you can't exactly compare finding out that your soon to be husband is actually your brother's, wife's, uncle's, roommate's, sister's, cousins long lost father, to your petty problems at work. Sure you can say that kind of stuff only happens on television, but what's freaky in soap opera's ...

Marketing Of Honda Motorcycles
... companies around the world, especially in the USA where sales had
dropped from 49% in 1959 to 9% in 1973. The two key factors the
report identified was the market share loss and profitability
declines an the scale economy disadvantages in technology,
distribution, and manufacturing. The BCG report showed that
success of the Japanese manufacturers started with the growth of
their own domestic markets. The high production for domestic
demand led to Honda experiencing economies of scale as the cost
of producing motorbikes declined with the level of output. This
provided Honda to achieve a highly competitive cost position
which they used ...

Indonesia Crisis As An Example
... legacy, would politically reconfigure Asia. We meant this in both the international and domestic sense: Nations would behave differently after the meltdown than they did during the past generation of extraordinary prosperity. The reconfiguration of Sino-American relations is an obvious manifestation of this. But it is the domestic political changes that are the most profound and will have the most impact on international relations. It should be obvious that an economic transformation of the magnitude we have seen cannot help but have equally dramatic political consequences.
Asia is obviously a diverse region. It goes without saying that the economic meltdown will ...

Are Things Equal Between The Sexes In College Sports?
... it is time to think of solutions.
So, first of all, is there really a problem? Why does it matter that
men get all the attention in sports? That's the way it has been for hundreds of
years dating back to the first Olympics. But then again why should men get all
the attention, women work just as hard as men at their sports, why not give them
some credit? Men and women are treated differently in sports ranging from the
size of budgets, the number of scholarships given, and in how many athletes are
participating in sports.
Men's athletic budgets are without a doubt a lot higher than women's
athletic budgets. On average men's athletic budgets are nearly five ...

Hunting Wild Hogs
... getting ready the night before the hunt. Usually, it is a Friday night when you start to prepare and get ready for Saturday. We always load our dogs in the truck the night before, but every one has their own style. The next step is to pack up all the hunting gear. Things like a cooler, knives, water, food, extra clothes, rubber boots, the cut collars, and the vests for the dogs. The cooler usually contains a few sodas, juice, and lots of water. Make sure your knife is sharp and most of all don’t forget the lunch. The cut collars and vests are to protect the dogs from getting hurt. These collars and vests may even save your dogs life.
Now it is time to go hu ...

Fixing Belief
... the definition, for a moment and you might begin to see this. As it talks about constantly reiterating the belief to ourselves, it may very well be said that this could be construed as going to church each week.. What happens in church? Well, we pray, sing, give thanks and offerings, all that we may be reminded that our purpose in life is to serve our Lord with gladness and with all of our hearts at all times. The part that I do not see fit in the first method is the part about turning with contempt and hatred from anything that might disturb it. From past experience, I have always found religious people to be some of the most open minded people, willing to li ...

Inclusion Of Handicapped Students In Public Education And Politics
... and physically disabled were housed in state institutions, and this was believed to be the correct way for society to handle the handicapped. However, in the late 1960s and early 1970s, institutional abuse became a big issue. Newscasts began to broadcast scenes of bed after bed of small children left alone in a crib all day in a dark and cheerless room with no one but themselves for company. There were no toys in the rooms, the children were neglected day after day, and most died at a very young age, much to the relief of their families.
These newscasts also told of other horror stories. Finn (1996) writes that children were abused, burned and beaten by ...

MANAGEMENT POLICY
... design work, for example. Whether we speak of goods or services, time- and distance separation in the supplier-customer connection invites trouble. Question: “What’s your Job?” Question: “But isn’t your job to serve the customer?” In grocery stores, where the supplier-relationship is immediate, the operations manager system is hard pressed to maintain a customer focus. The customer is the next process, or where the work goes next. A buyer’s customer is the associate in the department to whom the purchased item goes; a cost accountant’s customer is the manager who uses the accounting operations-where the design will be produced or the service provided. It is als ...
