A Lesson in General Musky Fishing My Experience and Knowledge Concerning Musky Fishing “There you go Austin, reel it in!” my dad said. We were fishing for walleye off a dock at Clear Lake, Iowa. I was only 9 years old. I knew that whatever I had on the line was big, but I had no idea that it would be the first musky I'd ever seen or caught. The fish was mediocre size, having a length of only 31 inches. Nonetheless, I was mesmerized by the musky’s beauty and grace as it swam away from the dock. I…

Suggestion to improve the strategy To reposition the brand Proton’s former chairman Tan Sri Mohd Khamil Jamil once said that Malaysians are not supporting Proton, a product as a result of our national pride. Unlike in Japanese and Korean market, their local car manufacturers received strong support from their domestic market. Proton has always been labelled as a cheap and low quality car manufacturer since its debut in the 80s. The main reason is due to the public perception of the poor quality…

TARGET COSTING The term “target costing” was born in Japan on 1963. It has already been passed for over 40 years. It was developed by TOYOTA Corporation in the beginning of 1960s and since then, it has been used by the Japanese automotive industry in general (Afonso et al., 2008).

The CGS framework retreats to a proposition in 1832 by the German mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss to base an arrangement of supreme units on the three essential units of length, mass and time. Gauss picked the units of millimeter, milligram and second The centimetre–gram–second arrangement of units (truncated CGS or cgs) is a variation of the metric framework taking into account the centimeter as the unit of length, the gram as the unit of mass, and the second as the unit of time. All CGS…

According to Science Buddies Staffs, “Take a Musical Step Back in Time: Make Your Own Phonograph From Everyday Items,” in the year 1877, Thomas Edison successfully built the phonograph. The phonograph, back then consisted of turning a cylinder wrapped with paraffin paper or tinfoil, a needle, and horn. The use of a phonograph was to first connect the stylus(needle) to the paper or tinfoil, then yell into the horn while spinning the diaphragm, this results in indentions in the paper, after that…

Best phrased by surgeon, author, and inventor Leonard Shlain in his book, Art & Physics, “Revolutionary art and visionary physics are both investigations into the nature of reality.” However dissimilar Vincent van Gough’s Starry Night may seem from Isaac Newton’s second law of motion, according to Shlain, this is what fundamentally unifies the two subjects. Physics is the study of the natural world, while art is the representation of it. Art has been part of our culture longer than any of the…

The Multiverse Theory is one of the most talked about theories in the modern age. It entails how there is a chance that we are not the only universe in existence but rather there are tens of thousands of other universes. This leaves all kinds of possibilities to the imagination; maybe someone was born with red hair rather than blonde, maybe someone became president rather than a physics professor. There are an infinite number of possibilities which causes the Multiverse Theory to also be a…

The Squire: Beyond The Appearance “The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.” (Aristotle) Although The Canterbury Tales is not the distinct type of art that Aristotle was referring to, his words still apply to the story, particularly when it comes to the Squire. (Chaucer, 199) Chaucer describes the Squire as “embroidered like a meadow bright, and full of freshest flowers, red and white” also pointing out that his hair had “locks as curly…
