Ming Empire 1368-1644 by Sanderson Beck Sichuan refused to surrender in 1369 and was conquered in 1371. Scholars criticized the Emperor for harsh methods; but in 1385 Hongwu had his vice-minister of revenue and hundreds of others executed for embezzling, and the minister of personnel was accused of slandering the head of the National University and was put to death. The Emperor's heir Zhu Biao died of illness in 1392. www.san.beck.org /3-7-MingEmpire.html   (23700 words)

OMRON | In Search of Omron's Roots As time passed, gradually the whole district encompassing Ninna-ji Temple came to be called "Omuro."Ninna-ji Temple was constructed by order of Emperor Koko, and completed in the era of his son, Emperor Uda in 888. Emperor Uda, after retiring from the throne, entered buddhist priesthood and built his own perso-nal retreat within the temple. This room was called "Omuro." The ancient Japanese word"Omuro" meant, in buddhism, a room where a most revered priest lived preaching his teach-ings to his disciples, later the word expanded to signify a room where a noble, respected person lived. www.omron.com /history/info/page02.html   (216 words)

Ocean Drilling Program: Leg 197 Preliminary Report Koko Seamount is a flat-topped seamount or guyot with a crowning ornamentation of small reefal bodies. At Koko Seamount, 14 independent paleomagnetic inclination groups were identified, yielding a mean inclination of 38.5° (+8.4°/–10.9°; 95% confidence interval) (Fig. Thus, singularly and as a linear group, the latitudes of formation of these four Emperor Seamounts establish that to reach its present position, the Hawaii hotspot moved rapidly southward during the Late Cretaceous and early Tertiary (i.e., from ˜81 to 43 Ma). www-odp.tamu.edu /publications/prelim/197_prel/prel11.html   (782 words)

[No title] Koko is a flat-topped seamount or guyot with a crowning ornamentation of small reefal bodies. Drilling at Koko was intended to complete the systematic testing of the widely accepted notion that each of the Emperor volcanoes had been constructed above the Hawaii hotspot at a stationary location (~19 deg. This consistent trend and overall precision of paleolatitude data from the Emperor seamounts establish that the Hawaii hotspot moved rapidly southward during the Late Cretaceous and early Tertiary, (i.e., from ~81 to 43 Ma) to reach its present position. www-odp.tamu.edu /sciops/Site_Summaries/site1206.htm   (782 words)

Emperors of Japan - SamuraiWiki The succession of Emperors as described in the Nihon Shoki and the Kojiki cannot be taken at face-value. Emperor Sujin is believed to have been the first "historical" Emperor (being the first Emperor to rule in the growing Yamato region) after the tribal confederacies that had held power previously--this does not mean, however, that he and those that followed did not have highly ficionalized lives. This assertion could very well apply to many other early Emperors, while others are most likely composite figures--an amalgamation of various important figures in early Japan. wiki.samurai-archives.com /index.php?title=Emperors_of_Japan   (157 words)

Slant Magazine - DVD Review: Koko: A Talking Gorilla Barbet Schroeder's close-but-no-Herzog documentary from 1978 shows a young Koko and her trainer-mentor Dr. Penny Patterson in the salad days of their educational relationship. Koko might not break down the barrier of recognition between the spectator and the subject so efficiently or bizarrely as the moment a zoo chimp snags the lens shade off of Werner Herzog's camera, thereby becoming the only member of Land of Silence and Darkness's cast to imply their ability to see out. Otherwise, all the disc comes with is the original French narration soundtrack (pointless for all but a collective two minutes), a new video introduction from Schroeder, and an old essay by Marguerite Duras pre-lubricated with that quintessentially French brand of enlightened racism. www.slantmagazine.com /dvd/dvd_review.asp?ID=966   (705 words)

Blank Ocean drilling program Leg 197 to the Emperor Seamounts recovered basement core from Detroit, Nintoku, and Koko Seamounts. Paleolatitude determinations using paleomagnetic data showed quite a southerly shift in the hotspot during the formation of the Emperor Seamounts and that this motion may have slowed considerably around about the time of the "bend" and the beginning of the Hawaiian chain. This suggests that a chnage in plate motion was not responsible for the "dog leg" in this seamount chain. www.nd.edu /~cneal/Emperor.html   (191 words)

ScienceWeek Recent paleomagnetic data from drill holes into the Emperor seamounts demonstrate that the story is not that simple. If all Emperor seamounts were at 19ºN when they erupted, this would suggest that the hotspot source was fixed at 19ºN with respect to the North Pole and that there was northward motion of the Pacific plate. The recent Emperor Seamount drilling results reveal that there was also southward drift of the hotspot plume beneath the Pacific plate, contrary to the fixed-hotspot hypothesis. scienceweek.com /2003/sb031010-4.htm   (777 words)

No Title The bend, which separates the westward trending Hawaiian islands from the northward-trending Emperor seamounts (Figure 1) has no equal among the Earth's hotspot tracks; it is the clearest physical manifestation of a change in plate motion in a fixed hotspot reference frame. The other paleolatitude value from the Emperor trend that adequately averages secular variation was derived from Suiko Seamount (65 Ma) (Kono, 1980) (Figure 1). We can isolate the latitudinal history of the Emperor seamounts from that of the Hawaiian chain by subtracting the difference between the present-day latitudes of the 43 Ma bend and Hawaii from the present-day latitudes of each of the Emperor seamounts. www.earth.rochester.edu /pmag/odp-proposal523.html   (6359 words)
