And he observed that there was no control over the packages by the original air carrier if the packages had to be carried by additional airlines before reaching their final destination. Smith’s idea for Federal Express was a concept of a hub ... linear system that FedEx established, permitted service to a far greater number of points with fewer aircraft. In addition the central hub system helped reduce mishandling and delay in transit because Federal Express kept total control over the packages from the pick-up point through delivery.

In December 1969, Xerox bought an additional 1% share of RX from the Rank Organization, giving them 51% control of that joint venture. In addition, FPF transferred its copier manufacturing plants to FX in 1971. FX then began to deal directly with Xerox as both RX and FPF became passive partners. Agreement Fuji Xerox ... quality copies. Therefore, Japan was a high potential market for Xerox’s copiers. Even though the Japanese government was liberating relations with foreign countries, they were still very concerned about the issues of preventing foreign control of resources and extracting foreign know-how (Yip, 38). Therefore, the government only allowed foreign direct investment by either local licensing or establishing a joint venture with local companies. Due to the risk of competitive ... human resource management. According to the president of FX, pure Japanese management was a major factor that contributed to the success of Fuji-Xerox.

- ... to 1984 in the period of a decline phase during the ten-year cycle. It is not known if decline phase is driven by winter food shortage. The experiment consisted of, one experimental and two control grids set up to determine differences between survival, growth, and reproduction in areas supplied with freshly cut white spruce (Picea glauca) and aspen (Populus tremuloides). Similar trends were obtained in all three areas: population size, survivorship, reproduction and growth. Between critical winters of 1981-1982 the experimental grid area lost 77% of its population as compared to 79% and 96% loss for the control grids. Determining the survival rates, the authors used mark-recapture techniques, it was found that probabilities for survivorship in experimental grid (0.79+0.10) were similar to that of control grids (0.71+0.07; 0.56+0.07). Results yielded that extra food intake and cover provided from branches may have not been helpful in increasing survivorship. No differences were measured in reproduction ...

It is not a psychological problem ... and nothing Merry did could change that. It develops at the same time as children learn “grammar, accents, and other fundamentals of speech and language”(1). When children fail to learn “speech breathing, vocal fold control, and how to articulate sounds”(1) that is when they develop disfluencies, which can turn into stuttering or stammering. If children do not learn these fundamentals at the right critical time, it is difficult or ... determine who will outgrow and who will not (4). Merry did eventually outgrow her stutter though.

- 1128: Monopolization And Its Implication On A World Scale
- ... This is incredibly detrimental because the general well being of the nation is confined and restricted to the demands of the money-making process.

Lenin said it best, "The building of development...of capitalist monopolies is going full steam ahead in all natural and supernatural ways". The Suicidal Nature of Monopoly Capitalism A logical consequence to ... out" the other monopolies or to merge and create one "super enterprise". To achieve total dominance, the monopolies artificially lower prices to put the small business out of business. After they have asserted total market control they double and sometimes triple the prices to make up for the loss. For this reason, mergers should be viewed with suspicion because the benefits they appear to offer at first will in the end ... are tariffs, blockades, embargoes.

- ... all of these chemical agents. For example, gas masks, other protective coverings for the body, and injections of antidotes are used as defenses against chemical agents. Chemical agents also have nonmilitary uses. For example, riot control agents, including tear gas, can be used to control rioting crowds. These agents just affect the eyes, nose, and throat. They can cause blinding tears and a lot of times, violent coughing. But the effects of the gas aren't too serious because they disappear within a few minutes, or even after a victim gets some fresh air. In the 1950's and 1960's, police and military forces increased their use of non-lethal riot-control agents to control a lot of internal problems they had.
