are being developed each and every day. One of the

these days is the idea of just-in-time
manufacturing. Many magazines and newspapers have
documented the efforts of companies to develop and
implement just-in-time processes. The question can
be asked, though, what does just-in-time mean? How
does a company implement just-in-time processes,
and what are the results of implementation?

Three Loved Houses First And Third Lines Poem
798 words
Elizabeth Bishops poem "One Art" tries to teach
the reader how to deal with loss. The off-handed
and ironic method of speech within the blank verse
is natural sounding and deceptively informal,
given the formal requirements of the lyric. The
poem is a villanelle, which is French, but stems
from Italian folk song. Like all villanelle's, it
has nineteen lines divided into six stanzas - five
tercets and one quatrain - turning on two rhymes
and built around two refrains. The first and third
lines rh...

Parents Decided To Move Decided To Move Park

Moving from one city to another city can often be
very difficult for a child. The reason for this is
that you arent just moving to a different city.
Youre moving to a different atmosphere, school,
group of friends and neighbors. Luckily for me,
moving was the best thing that could have ever
happened to me. I grew up in the city of Berkley,
MI. I went to school there, I made friends there,
I played sports there, I was at home there. But in
December of 1990 when I was in 3 rd grade, my

Tycho Brahe Heliocentric Universe
967 words
It was during the 16 th and 17 th centuries when
man's view of the universe and himself changed
drastically. This came after a millenium of
repetition and stagnation in the development of
science. People finally began questioning what
they were told, and they went out to find proof
rather than assuming on the basis of authority and
common sense. These advances in astronomy and
medicine came about in the same era, and were not
un parallel in their development. In both fields
were some very notabl...

Magnetic Field Opposite Direction

The phenomenon called electromagnetic induction
was first noticed and investigated by Michael
Faraday, in 1831. Electromagnetic induction is the
production of an electromotive force (emf) in a
conductor as a result of a changing magnetic field
about the conductor and is a very important
concept. Faraday discovered that, whenever the
magnetic field about an electromagnet was made to
grow and collapse by closing and opening the
electric circuit of which it was a part, an
electric current could be ...

Madame Bovary Vs The Awakening
1,747 words
Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert and The
Awakening by Kate Chopin both show the life of a
woman in a half-dreamy stupor, over zealously
running around looking for something but not
knowing what it is they are looking for. They feel
immensely dissatisfied with the lives they are
stuck with and find suicide to be the only
alternative. The two books, Madame Bovary, written
in 1857 and The Awakening, written in 1899, both
have the theme of confinement and free-will, yet
differ vastly with respect t...

Running Water Looked Back

Wiping the sweat from my brow I called a halt to
the crew. Phil and I dumped our packs and found a
comfy boulder to rest on. I looked back to where
the last guys were coming from back down the
trail. They had stopped talking a while back and
marched slowly along the dirt trail. Phil produced
an energy-bar hed saved from breakfast and began
to munch on it as I drained another water bottle.
After the refreshing drink I laid back against the
rock and stared up at the pine trees. But a moment
later,...

away from downtown and back towards the Seattle
Center, unmolested by police. Though Guard didn't
know it, the unsuccessful police push was timed to
herd people into the parade. However, as had been
the case all day, the size of the crowds blocked
movement and the police ceased advancing when the
now-expanded and enlarged crowd could not fall
back any further. As shown by Guard's relatively
easy progress to within a block of the Convention

The Role Of Mississippi River In Huckleberry Finn

Rivers are often associated with freedom and
growth as they are vast and constantly moving and
progressing. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is
no exception as Mark Twain beautifully paints a
picture of a boy who grows significantly during
his journey down the Mississippi River. In the
beginning of the novel, Huckleberry Finn yearns
for his freedom from people who hold him down such
as the Widow Douglas and Pap. Ironically, he finds
freedom in a place nearby: the river. When he
