Tora Tora Tora 1 日本語 II 名前： 月 日 Tora Tora Tora Please read the Helpful Background and Questions before viewing the movie. Some of the questions may be answered while you are watching the movie. Some of them should be answered after watching the movie because they might take too long to write down. Helpful Backgroud: In 1937, after having conquered Manchuria, Japan invaded China. By December 1941, public opinion in the U.S. had turned against Japan because of Japan's alliance with Germany, the atrocities committed by Japanese troops against Chinese civilians, and the threat posed by Japanese expansionism to U.S. interests. There was, however, no overwhelming desire among the American people to go to war with Japan. As of December of 1941, the only important step taken by the United States against Japan was the denial of export licenses for oil. However, Japan saw the U.S. as the only obstacle to its plan to dominate Asia. Because the other Western powers were preoccupied with the war in Europe and because President Roosevelt kept the bulk of the U.S. Fleet in the Pacific, Japan saw an opportunity to neutralize the U.S. The December 7, 1941 surprise attack on Pearl Harbor was a major victory for the Japanese Navy. In less than two hours it destroyed 188 planes, damaged another 159 planes, and sank or seriously damaged 18 warships. The battleships Arizona and Oklahoma were sunk. The California, the West Virginia and the Tennessee (also battleships) were badly damaged and would not rejoin the U.S. Fleet for months. 2,403 American military personnel were killed and 1,178 wounded. The Japanese lost only 29 planes and pilots, five midget submarines, and one large sub. Questions: 1. Write Tora Tora Tora in Katakana On a Japanese Ship 2. Who is Ltd. Commander Fuchida? 3.

  • 7 Mahana Series Soils Are Described As Follows: This Series Consists of Well-Drained Soils on Uplands on the Islands of Kauai An
    Cultural Surveys Hawai‘i Job Code: HONOULIULI 172 Introduction Mahana series soils are described as follows: This series consists of well-drained soils on uplands on the islands of Kauai and Oahu. These soils developed in volcanic ash. They are gently sloping to very steep. Elevations range from 1,000 to 3,000 feet. The annual rainfall amounts to 30 to 45 inches. […] These soils are used for pasture, woodland, wildlife habitat, irrigated sugarcane, and water supply. The natural vegetation consists of puakeawe, aalii, ricegrass, molassesgrass, silver oak, yellow foxtail, lantana, joee, Japanese tea, passion flower, and associated plants. [Foote et al. 1972:85] Mahana silty clay loam, 6 to 12% slopes, eroded (McC2) soils are described as follows: This soil occurs on ridgetops and moderately sloping uplands […] Permeability is moderately rapid. Runoff is slow, and the erosion hazard is slight. […] In places roots penetrate to a depth of 5 feet or more. […] This soil is used for pasture, woodland, wildlife habitat, pineapple, and sugarcane. [Foote et al. 1972:85–86] Mahana silty clay loam, 12 to 20% slopes, eroded (McD2) soils, are described as having medium runoff and a moderate erosion hazard, used for pasture, woodland, wildlife habitat, and sugarcane (Foote et al. 1972). Mahana silty clay loam, 20 to 35% slopes, eroded (McE2) soils are further described as follows: Most of the surface layer has been removed by erosion. Runoff is very rapid, and the erosion hazard is very severe. Included in mapping were areas where all of the surface layer and part of the subsoil have been removed by erosion.

  • My Neighbor, My Enemy: Understanding the Protracted Conflict Between China and Japan
    MY NEIGHBOR, MY ENEMY: UNDERSTANDING THE PROTRACTED CONFLICT BETWEEN CHINA AND JAPAN A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in English By Go Funai, B.S. Washington, DC May 1, 2009 The research and writing of this thesis is dedicated to everyone who helped along the way, especially Professor Alan C. Tidwell, my thesis advisor, and Professor Fathali M. Moghaddam, my thesis committee member. Many thanks, Go Funai ii MY NEIGHBOR, MY ENEMY: UNDERSTADNING THE PROTRACTED CONFLICT BETWEEN CHINA AND JAPAN Go Funai, B.S. Thesis Advisor: Alan C. Tidwell, Ph.D. ABSTRACT Despite numerous attempts at political reconciliation and increasing levels of economic interdependence, tensions between China and Japan remain high. The bitter rivalry, ostensibly rooted in the Second World War, grabbed the world’s attention in 2005 when anti-Japan protests erupted in over 40 cities throughout China. This study examines why China and Japan remain sworn enemies even though they share realistic reasons to reconcile. While the existing literature acknowledges historical enmity as the primary source of conflict, it does not rigorously explain the underpinnings and dynamics of that enmity. Thus, the purpose of this study is to fill this analytic gap using ideas in conflict resolution and social psychology. I argue that China and Japan are mired in an identity-based conflict that is best understood by examining enmification, or the process of creating enemies, throughout its history of conflict dating back to the 16th century.

The carriers immediately went to General Quarters on what had already been an eventful morning. Using the clouds as cover, the Japanese aircraft managed to reach a point above ‘Taffy 1’ without being seen. Suddenly, at 0740 hrs, an A6M5 Reisen dived out of the clouds directly into the escort carrier USS Santee (CVE-29), crashing through its flightdeck on the port side forward of the elevator. Just 30 seconds later a second ‘Zeke’ dived towards the USS Suwannee (CVE-27), while a third targeted USS Petrof Bay (CVE-80) – anti-aircraft artillery (AAA) fire managed to shoot down both fighters. Then, at 0804 hrs, a fourth ‘Zeke’ dived on the Petrof Bay, but when hit by AAA it swerved and crashed into the flightdeck of Suwanee, blowing a hole in it forward of the aft elevator.

  • Response to the Peer Review Report EPA Base Case Version 5.13 Using IPM U.S
    Response to the Peer Review Report EPA Base Case Version 5.13 Using IPM U.S. EPA, Clean Air Markets Division SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION In October 2014, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) commissioned a peer review of the EPA Base Case version 5.13 using the Integrated Planning Model (IPM). 1 RTI International, an independent contractor, facilitated the peer review of the EPA Base Case v.5.13 in compliance with EPA’s Peer Review Handbook (U.S. EPA, 2006) and produced a report from that peer review. RTI selected five peer reviewers (Anthony Paul, Meghan McGuinness, Walter Short, Paul Sotkiewicz, and John Weyant) who have expertise in energy policy, power sector modeling and economics to review the EPA Base Case v.5.13 and provide feedback. The peer reviewers evaluated the adequacy of the framework, assumptions, and supporting data used in the EPA Base Case v.5.13 using IPM, and they suggested potential improvements. IPM is a multiregional, dynamic, deterministic model of the U.S. power sector that provides forecasts of least-cost capacity expansion, electricity dispatch and emission reliability constraints. The EPA uses the platform to project and evaluate the cost and emissions impacts of various policies to limit emissions of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, mercury, hydrogen chloride, and carbon dioxide (CO2). The independent peer review panel provided expert feedback on whether the analytical framework, assumptions and applications of data in the EPA’s Base Case v.5.13 using IPM are sufficient for the EPA’s needs in estimating the economic and emissions impacts associated with the power sector due to emissions policy alternatives.
