No impact of power shortages in Japan on operations
Tokyo, Japan, July 25, 2011 - NSK Ltd. (NSK: Headquarters: Tokyo, Japan; President and CEO: Norio Otsuka) today announced that there will be no impact of power shortages in Japan on NSK's production facilities and business operations. The company will meet all commitments to customers in terms of quality, cost and delivery and will further increase production output while exceeding the 15% power conservation target set by Japan's government for Japanese corporations operating facilities in Eastern Japan. Despite the power shortages in Japan, NSK expects a 15% rise in operating income to 50 billion JPY and a 3% growth in net sales to 730 billion JPY for the year through March 2012.
"Power conservation has long been a recognized priority across the NSK Group, including R&D, production facilities and offices. At our production sites worldwide, we are constantly committed to reducing energy while further increasing production. The current situation in Japan comes as a reminder of the unlimited possibilities for kaizen, meaning unlimited possibilities for further improvement", says Senior Vice President Hideyuki Shibamoto, Head of the Manufacturing Strategy Division Headquarters at NSK Ltd. "The ideal of unlimited possibilities for improvement has always been at the core of NSK's corporate policy. NSK is continuing on its path to further increase productivity and fully harness the potential of its facilities worldwide to strengthen its global corporate structure."
In response to power shortages in Japan as a result of the March 11 earthquake and tsunami, plant employees receive training to further raise energy saving awareness. NSK has also secured in-house power generation at its plants in Japan. At all NSK facilities in Japan, including the NSK Headquarters in Tokyo, power consumption has been reduced significantly by reducing lighting and air-conditioning, by setting office appliances to power saving mode, by reducing elevator service and turning off electric signage. To further assist the power saving measures on weekdays when power demand typically peaks, NSK facilities across Japan will work weekends from July thru September, when power demand in Japan is low, and will take time off on weekdays. Customer service functions of each business unit will be open to correspond with customer operations.
The Federal's pistol slid into its holster and his sabre flashed out. He threw its curved point up in a splendid salute. Ferry saluted with his straight blade. Then both swords rang back into their scabbards, and Jewett whirled away toward his column. For a moment we lingered, then faced to the left, trotted, galloped. Over the fence and into the road went he--went I. Down it, as we crossed, the blue column was just moving again. Then the woods on the south swallowed us up. "All right, sir." that before. Meanwhile the parallelism between Thought and Extension was not exhausted by the identification just analysed. Extension was not only a series of movements; it still remained an expression for co-existence and adjacency.412 Spinoza, therefore, felt himself obliged to supply Thought with a correspondingly continuous quality. It is here that his chief originality lies, here that he has been most closely followed by the philosophy of our own time. Mind, he declares, is an attribute everywhere accompanying matter, co-extensive and co-infinite with space. Our own animation is the sum or the resultant of an animation clinging to every particle that enters into the composition of our bodies. When our thoughts are affected by an external impulse, to suppose that this impulse proceeds from anything material is a delusion; it is produced by the mind belonging to the body which acts on our body; although in what sense this process is to be understood remains a mystery. Spinoza has clearly explained the doctrine of animal automatism, and shown it to be perfectly conceivable;569 but he has entirely omitted to explain how the parallel influence of one thought (or feeling) on another is to be understood; for although this too is spoken of as a causal relation, it seems to be quite different from the logical concatenation described as the infinite intellect of God; and to suppose that idea follows from idea like movement from movement would amount to a complete materialisation of mind; while our philosopher would certainly have repudiated Mr. Shadworth Hodgson’s theory, that states of consciousness are only connected through their extended substratum, as the segments of a mosaic picture are held together by the underlying surface of masonry. Nor can we admit that Spinoza entertained the theory, now so popular, according to which extension and consciousness are merely different aspects of a single reality. For this would imply that the substance which they manifest had an existence of its own apart from its attributes; whereas Spinoza makes it consist of the attributes, that is to say, identifies it with their totality. We are forced, then, to conclude that the proposition declaring thought and extension to be the same thing570 has no413 other meaning than that they are connected by the double analogy which we have endeavoured to explain. “Oh, he’s welcome to it,” Sandy cried. “I’ve turned over a new leaf!” “But—are they?” He pulled a wire out a trifle from the sheath. The sergeant spent more time upon the oaths with which he embellished the counter-question as to how he should know anything about it, than would have been consumed in a civil explanation. "Doctor, he can't die. He mustn't die," said Shorty in agony. "The regiment can't spare him. He's the best soldier in it, and he's my pardner." AND ENTERS UPON HIS PARENTAL RELATIONS TO LITTLE PETE SKIDMORE. "Holy smoke, look there," gasped Monty Scruggs, as a company of rebel cavalry came tearing over the hill in front, to the assistance of their comrades. "That's about it," answered Shorty disdainfully. "That's the way with all cavalry, dad-burn 'em. They're like a passel o' fice pups. They're all yelp and bark, and howl and showin' o' teeth. They're jest goin' to tear you to pieces. But when you pick up a stone or a club, or git ready to give 'em a good kick they're gone, the devil knows where. They're only an aggravation. You never kin do nothin' with 'em, and they kin do nothin' with you. I never kin understand why God Almighty wasted his time in makin' cavalry of any kind, Yank or rebel. All our own cavalry's good for is to steal whisky and chickens from honest soldiers of the infantry. The infantry's the only thing. It's like the big dog that comes up without any special remarks, and sets his teeth in the other dog. The thing only ends when one dog or the other is badly whipped and somethin's bin accomplished." "Mmm." Reuben started out of the half-waking state into which he had fallen. It was late in the afternoon, the sunlight had gone, and a wintry twilight crept up the wall. Maude the dairy-woman was looking in at the door. It was about a month subsequent to this, that one morning, as Turner was making the anvil ring with the ponderous strokes of his hammer, two retainers from the castle entered the shed, and delivered an order from De Boteler for his immediate attendance. Wat laid the hammer on the anvil, and, passing the back of his right hand across his forehead, to clear away the large drops that stood there, looked with a kind of smile at the men as he said, HoME泷泽萝拉四部和集下载
