Tadao Kashio established his own company, Kashio Seisakujo, in April 1946 in Mitaka, Tokyo. The first product created was the yubiwa pipe, a ring for the finger that held a cigarette. Kashio used his profits from the yubiwa pipe to develop their own calculators. The company was later incorporated in 1957 as Casio Computer Co., Ltd. The Kashios believed that giving a westernized name would render the company's consumer and business products more marketable, both locally and globally. Around the same time, Toshio Kashio's invented the world's first compact all-electric calculator (Casio 14-A). The Company profited from this innovation and became the only Japanese manufacturer to specialize in electric computers. In 1965, Casio introduced the …show more content…
Casio first opened plants in neighbouring countries, Taiwan and Hong Kong. Continuing in 1990, the company opened plants in California and in Mexico. By 1996 Casio had plants in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and Korea, in addition to its Hong Kong, Taiwan, and North American plants. In the mid-1990s Casio's digital diaries became extremely popular due to functions like fortune-telling, secret passwords, a matchmaking guide, and 'virtual pet’ which appeal to school-age children. They had also gone into the telecommunications industry by developing a small mobile telephone, the 'personal handy-phone system' (PHS) in July 1995, it was similar to the digital mobile phones available in the United States at that time. During 1995, Casio had also come up with videophone and digital camera which was an instant hit. Another popular item of Casio in the mid-1990s was its G-Shock line of shock-resistant watches which was first released in 1983. By the early 1998, 500 different models had been introduced and more than 19 million units had been sold.

The madrigal is a distinctive type of secular song that originated in Italy. It was an aristocratic form of poetry and music that flourished at small Italian courts. In the piece, Cruda Amarilli, Monteverdi uses many musical devices that are typical of a madrigal. The lyrics in this song are repeated, the music accompanies the text in interesting ways, and there is a wide range of vocal notes. After listening to the piece just once you can immediately feel the unrequited love Monteverdi is displaying through his words and music. The music and instrumentation in this piece aid the voices to establish form and mood through word painting. He uses word painting and cadences to develop a theme of unrequited love.
Patient safety and hospital acquired infections (HAI) are deemed highly important in the health care setting. My organization uses quality indicators pulled from EPIC, which is our health information system, to ensure we are meeting regulations for catheter associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI). Data includes rates of infections, length of foley catheter placement, reasons for foley placement, as well as facility specific documentation that is used to aide in the prevention of CAUTI. By pulling this data, one could identify trends affecting rate of infections. This may lead to a change in policy or procedure that can improve the rate of infections for those patients with foley catheters. Thus decreasing the percentage of HAI’s for

Commedia dell'arte is a truly popular form of theatre - of the people, by the people, for the people.
One of the most speculative experiences of conquest and dictatorship in the history of Latin America has been the socialist and dictatorial regimes in Chile. Chile has gone through multiple times of dictatorship, lead by the military, and also had lapses of a socialist government. The film “Machuca” by Andres Wood provided an insight of the series of social events in Chile in 1973, ranging from inter personal experiences to political issues and the Chilean nation. “Two dictators, Salvador Allende and Augusto Pinochet, both brought tremendous suffering upon the Chilean people -- one through his socialist policies and nationalization of

Socrates has been accused of corrupting the youth by Meletus and has been sentenced to death. He has thoroughly justified his own decision to obey the opinions of the majority and serve out the sentence that his own city has deemed appropriate for his crimes. At the beginning of this piece, Socrates has presented a period of questions and answers through dialogue with Crito. Throughout the dialogue Socrates is explaining his reasoning for not evading the government. Crito does not understand the madness of Socrates, and would like nothing more than to help his dear friend escape to freedom. "…I do not think that what you are doing is right, to give up your life when you can save it, and to hasten your fate as your enemies would
Crito, as reported by Plato, is an account by where Crito is attempting to influence Socrates that it is just to escape from prison to avoid certain death by execution. Socrates' argument directly relates to the laws of the state and the role of the individual within it. The "Crito" exhibits the character of Socrates as a good citizen, who being unjustly condemned is willing to give up his life in obedience to the laws of the State.
At the time Mercutio makes his famous "Queen Mab" speech in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, he and Romeo, together with a group of their friends and kinsmen, are on the way to a party given by their family's arch-enemy, Lord Capulet. Their plan is to crash the party so that Romeo may have the opportunity to see his current love, Rosaline, whom they know has been invited to the Capulet's masque that evening.

The case that seem interesting to me would be Adolfo Constanzo also known as the “Witch Doctor”, he was a serial killer in the 1980’s. He had religious history background since he was young.

After multiple killings, he managed to evade police by hiding out in his Mexico City ranch until a 1989 raid, during which he asked his fellow cult members to kill him.
Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) are regarded as frequently occurring and costly, affecting nearly 10% of all of the catheterized patients annually (Oman et al., 2012). While specific evidence-guidelines have been developed to address the problem of CAUTI, the results of their comparative effectiveness assessment are contradictory (Lo et al., 2014). Among the different types of catheters available within hospital setting, indwelling Foley ones have been associated with high incidence of urinary infection due to their highly invasive status (Chenoweth & Saint, 2013). The present research aims to conduct a
Antonio Ricci needs a bike for the job he was offered with the council of the city. His wife Maria pawned their sheets in order for Antonio to get a bike for the job. Once Antonio gots the bike for the money they got with the sheets he begins his day's work the next morning. Bruno, Antonio’s son, made a comment that the bike was dent and mistreated.

On the first day of work Antonio was putting up a sign and some thief stole his bike. Antonio went to report his bike stolen to the officials of the city. THe observation of Antonio and Bruno seems kind and that they love one another but the
The citole is a wooden, stringed instrument that resembles a primitive violin-guitar hybrid. Its musical technique is like that of a guitar; pitch change is controlled in the neck. Geoffrey Chaucer crafted The Canterbury Tales during an age when music was expressive and influential. Venus’s altar is vividly detailed in the Knight’s Tale, in part 3 of The Canterbury Tales. The beautiful statue of Venus is depicted holding a citole in her right hand. The inclusion of this small lyre-like instrument has a deep association and symbolic meaning. The citole has connections with angels, ethereality, and divinity.
The closest comparison to this small computer at the time was the Altair 8800 and the Intel microprocessors used in calculators and watches. An improved version of the Apple 1 developed into the Apple 11, the first personal computer with graphics and a keyboard, and IBM soon followed Apple’s lead with their version of a small computer. The market for personal computers had been primarily in the business industry. Apple Computer sales netted $50 million by the last quarter of 1979 (Gitman & McDaniel, 2009) and Apple soon became the personal computer of choice for many small businesses and families, especially when Apple introduced the more user- friendly Macintosh computer in the 1980’s. The Macintosh was Apple’s first major step in adapting the personal computer to the desires of corporate America. In ten years, Apple had grown from two employees in a garage to a $2 billion company with over 4000 employees (Jobs, 1985). What began as a hobby for Jobs and Wozniak soon became an essential part of many households and established the foundation for the Apple empire.
