...Tora! Tora! Tora! Is a mostly accurate account of Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor. This film has both the Japanese and American accounts of the events preceding and up to the attack. They were filmed separately and then edited together to make one story. Tora! Tora! Tora! was the code word used by the Japanese to show that a complete surprise attack had been achieved. In the first part of the film the Japanese are planning their attack on Pearl Harbor. It starts with a summation of the events that led them to the point to start planning their attack. The film and book state that two of these events were the signing of the Tripartite Pact, which was a loose defense treaty with Germany and Italy, and the freezing of Japan’s assets in the United States. The film goes on to describe how Japan plans to attack Pearl Harbor. The Japanese segments in the first half of the film are very interesting as Japan’s side of the story isn’t told very often in American film. It gives Americans a historical view that many have not seen or heard about....

...Introduction The Indian market is seeing a paradigm shift in the consumption patterns. The ever-growing middle class is one reason for this change. Population growth and economic development are driving consumption around the world and will continue to do so as billions of consumers – especially in China, India and other emerging economies add to the demand for goods and services. This has resulted in depletion of several valuable natural resources. Green consumerism refers to recycling, purchasing and using eco-friendly products that minimize damage to the environment. More and more businesses and industries are joining in the green movement, either out of a real interest in saving the planet or a desire to capitalize on the growing consumer demand for greener ways. For example, Wal-Mart anticipates savings to the tune of billions of dollars by reducing packaging across the supply chain and Wells Fargo issues carbon credits to offset its customers' credit card purchases. Very few consumers, who have realized the importance of going green, have been practicing it. For many, the perception about the idea is vague. Many organizations are actively trying to induce a paradigm shift in their green marketing strategies to enable them to reach the consumer. Has their attempt in this endeavour yielded results? The study is aimed at exploring the answers to these questions. Purpose and Scope of the Study This study is an attempt to understand the attitude...

Many scholars omit The Old Testament written in Hebrew but the New Testament of the Bible written in Greek. The New Testament dates back to the period around 30 AD. However, many scholars reference this era in History as CE for Common Era. The authors...

...pilot was lucky) 1934 design, updated by an inline Allison engine jammed in its snout. The P-40 was rapidly overtaken by far more capable fighters, but on December 7, 1941, the warplane boasted two winning features: In a dive, it was the fastest airplane in the world, and it was available. By 9 a.m. that day, more than 2,400 Americans had been killed, the Navy fleet ruined, and more than half of the 200 Army aircraft on Oahu damaged beyond use. The lone aerial opposition came not from an organized action of the air wings stationed in Hawaii but from individual pilots, like George Welch, who raced for any airplane they could find. Welch’s exploits in the P-40 that day—he downed four Japanese aircraft—were dramatized in the 1970 film Tora! Tora! Tora! and rewarded with the Distinguished Flying Cross. Two weeks later, 100 recruits, led by one of the most gifted and controversial commanders of the war, began flying P-40s to protect China from Japan. In seven months, the Flying Tigers of Claire Chennault’s American Volunteer Group, their big-jawed fighters flashing shark’s teeth, savaged Japanese bombers and made P-40s...

...the majority of the American naval fleet were in Pearl Harbor. Fuchida was ready, he sulted his men and prepared to leave. His men gave him a hachimaki, then he senched it to his head. The Japenese pilots had no parachutes. Fuchida took off with 182 other planes towards Pearl Harbor (Tanaka 16). The Japanese attack came in two sections. First was Fuchida's at 7:55 A.M. Fuchida's wave destroyed airfields and the U.S. fleet. The U.S. had no defense because the sailors of the U.S. Navy were asleep, so they could not fight back (Tanaka 20). The second wave started at 8:50 A.M. with a total of 170 planes. Now the planes destroyed Pearl Harbor and Kaneohe air station. This attack lasted less than two hours. The japanese attack code was “Tora Tora Tora”. Fuchida came in low like when he practiced. Then his fuselage was hit (Tanaka 23). Fuchida hit two of his targets, with his bombs. Fuchida was the last one to touch down on the Akagi. Most of the planes barely got back because they were out of fuel (Tanaka 44). Fuchida wanted to return because there was much more to destroy, like fuel tanks and repair shops. When he suggested to go back, his commanders said no it was too dangerous. They would stay with the original plan. Fuchida kept fighting throughout World War II. He escaped death many times. He got lost in the jungle, then he floated down a river full of crocodiles to safety. He fought at the Battle of Midway. He went to investigate the aftermath of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. He...

...AERONAUTICAL MOBILE AD HOC NETWORKS CONTENTS 1: Introduction 2: Literature Survey 3: References PROBLEM STATEMENT 1.1 Ad-hoc network "Ad Hoc" is actually a Latin phrase that means "for this purpose." It is often used to describe solutions that are developed on-the-fly for a specific purpose. In computer networking, an ad hoc network refers to a network connection established for a single session and does not require a router or a wireless base station. An ad hoc network is a temporary network connection created for a specific purpose (such as transferring data from one computer to another) 1.2 Mobile ad hoc network(MANET) A MANET is an autonomous collection of mobile users that communicate over relatively bandwidth constrained wireless links. Since the nodes are mobile, the network topology may change rapidly and unpredictably over time. The network is decentralized, where all network activity including discovering the topology and delivering messages must be executed by the node themselves, i.e., routing functionality will be incorporated into mobile nodes. In other words, MANET is a type of ad hoc network that can change locations and configure itself on the fly. Because MANETS are mobile, they use wireless connections to connect to various networks. This can be a standard Wi-Fi connection, or another medium, such as a cellular or satellite transmission. Literature Survey 2.2 Analysis of research Paper TITLE OF PAPER | AUTHORS | YEAR...

...activities. Soon turmoil brewed about whether these “tools” interfered with citizens’ rights. People were interrogated and held against will, violating the writ of habeas corpus. Suspected affiliates with Al Qaeda and the Taliban were locked away at a prison, Guantanamo Bay, where they faced torture and interrogation under custody without charges. Some question the ethical implications of this, but others believe it is just for the cause of American interest. By December Afghanistan is under a new government rule, one that advocates literacy and women’s rights. Several days later, the Taliban surrender the city of Kandahar and fall from power. Disorganized, they flee in the mountains and here, in Tora Bora Caves, Bin Laden’s location is traced. In what became known as the Battle of Tora Bora, the United States along with its coalition and allies raided the caves. Unfortunately, Osama Bin Laden manages to escape, to the upset of many Americans. President Bush then comes out with a public claim that Iraq, Iran, and North Korea are feverously guilty of harboring central terrorist headquarters. He calls these countries the “axis of evil” in his State of the Union address. Funnily enough Bush states that Iraqi President Saddam Hussein is also “evil.” His repetition of this idea of evil reflects his religious devotion, exemplified by his address to the nation on 9/11 when he cites the bible, “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil for you are with...

...PREVIOUS STUDIES Technology acceptance has been used as a model to predict technology use and to explain factors that impact that use (Lederer, et al., 2000). Davis (1986) mentioned that the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) is a theoretical framework that can be used to assess how post-secondary teachers integrate ICT tasks and skills into the curriculum. Thus it can be implied that TAM can also be used to assess how the students will integrate their ICT tasks and skills into their daily lives as students. TAM is based on a proven framework, which is the Theory of Reasoned Action (TORA) (Fishbein and Ajzen, 1975), which provides the rationale for many assumptions seen in TAM (Davis, 1993). Fishbein and Ajzen (1975) noted that attitudes are a function of beliefs, and that beliefs lead to behavioral intentions which, if not mediated by some external factor, lead to specific behaviors. TAM extends the TORA model by looking at two specific attitudes important in technology adoption, which are perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use (Davis, 1993). The research argued that an individual who has a strong sense of capability in dealing with technology is more likely to accept new technology, such as ICT. Adriaanse, Voordijk, and Dewulf (2010) had also adapted TAM in their framework in investigating the use of interorganisational ICT in United States construction projects in 2010. According to Adriaanse, Voordijk, and Dewulf (2010) the basic idea of this model is that the decision...

...Bogotá (Spanish pronunciation: [boɣoˈta] ( listen)), from 1991 to 2000 called Santafé de Bogotá, is the capital, and largest city, of Colombia. It is also designated by the national constitution as the capital of the department of Cundinamarca, though the city of Bogotá now comprises an independent capital district and no longer belongs administratively to that department. Bogotá is the most populous city in the country, with 7,363,782 inhabitants as of 2010.[5] Bogotá and its metropolitan area, which includes municipalities such as Chía, Cota, Soacha, Cajicá and La Calera, had a population of around 8 million in 2010.[6] In terms of land area, Bogotá is the largest city in Colombia, and one of the biggest in Latin America. It figures among the 30 largest cities of the world and it is the third-highest capital city in South America at 2,625 metres (8,612 ft) above sea level, after Quito and La Paz.[2] With its many universities and libraries, Bogotá has become known as "The Athens of South America".[7] Bogotá owns the largest moorland of the world, which is located in the Sumapaz Locality.[8] The city ranked 54th in the 2010 Global Cities Index,[9] and is listed as global city of the Beta+ kind by the GaWC.[10] The area of modern Bogotá was first populated by groups of indigenous people who migrated from Mesoamerica.[citation needed] Among these groups were the Muiscas, who settled mainly in the regions that we know today as the Departaments of Cundinamarca and Boyacá.

...World War II: Pearl Harbor Cynthia Klabbers His 204 Professor Macek June 14, 2010 On Dec. 7, 1941 the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. It was a tragic event in American history which led to the US into World War II. I will discuss the events that led up to the attack and the attack itself. I will also discuss the possibility of our government letting this happen. It is hard to accept or to believe, but there are questions that many people ask about this tragedy. How could our government not have known this was to happen? This question has been asked time and again with no definitive answer. I will discuss this further in my paper. I will also discuss the Japanese-American Internment camps that were formed after the attack. The US and Japan were not on the best of terms before the attack on Pearl Harbor. In 1931 the Japanese occupied Manchuria and a year later converted it to Manchukuo. “This was a direct threat to the Versailles system and the open door.” (Davidson, et al. 2008, p. 763). The US would refuse to recognize Japan’s takeover of Manchuria. In 1933 Japan withdrew from the League of Nations because of being condemned for their takeover and bombing of Shanghai. “The seeds of war in Asia had been sown.” (Davidson, et al. 2008, p. 763). We also need to remember the embargo America had on Japan on July 24, 1941. “Japan stood ready to conquer the entire Southeast Asian peninsula and the oil-rich Dutch Indies.” (Davidson, et al., 2008, p. 769). This angered the...
