Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION Jim Allen*, Yuki Inenaga**, Rolf van der Velden* and Keiichi Yoshimoto*** * University of Maastricht ** University of Tsukuba *** Kyushu University 1. 1 Objectives and Background 1. 1. 1 The Focus of This Book It is well known that Japan and the Netherlands have enjoyed friendly relations for more than 400 years. Despite this fact, neither country has had much influence on the other in terms of society, culture, or institutional arrangements in the educational system and the labour market. These aspects remain essentially unique to each country. As a result, Japan and the Netherlands, the two countries at the focus of this book, form an intriguing contrast of culture, education system and labour market organisation. For decades Japan has attracted the attention of countless scholars attempting to come to grips, first of all with the enormous success of the post-war Japanese economy, and subsequently with its faltering progress since the early 1990s. In contrast to most western capitalist countries, the Japanese economy is characterised by a strong degree of centralised planning and cooperation between economic and political elites, in which favoured corporations and industries have been deliberately fostered. The higher education system has been largely academic in its focus, and strong links between higher education institutions and companies have helped ensure a smooth and rapid transition by graduates from higher education to employment.

Basic Christianity

If you were to chose one word that would describe what Christianity is about, what would that word be? There are many good answers to that question, for example: salvation, faith, Jesus, love, redemption, etc. However, there is one word that encompasses all other words. That word is "relationship." Christianity is not merely a religion––it''s a relationship with God.The Bible tells us God desires that we know Him. It also tells us that He is unknowable. How does one come to know a God who is unknowable? The Bible says He is sovereign, and that He gives us choices. How can God''s sovereignty be compatible with man''s freedom to chose? Many other confusing, but knowable, issues are addressed in this book.Over the years, my own personal relationship with God has given me a better understanding of how Christianity works, i.e., who God is, what my relationship with Him requires, how He develops that relationship, and how incredibly important that process is to my walk of faith.I am a retired electrical engineer. Engineers want to know the answer to questions like: How does a system or device work? and What makes it go? That is part of the reason I''ve written this book. I wanted an answer to the questions: How does Christianity work? and What makes Christianity go? In Basic Christianity, Viewed Through the Lens of Relationship I have used engineering methods and diagrams, gained from years of experience, to answer those questions in a way that will provide a "plain language" explanation of "Christian relationship" from a Biblical perspective.The God of the Bible is infinite. Therefore, there are an infinite number of things to know about Him. Basic Christianity, Viewed Through the Lens of Relationship begins that journey of discovery. ~ Jim Allen

Port Essington

The Historical Archaeology of a North Australian Nineteenth-Century Military Outpost

In 1966 Jim Allen undertook the first professional excavation of a European site in Australia. The 1840s military settlement of Victoria was established at Port Essington, the northernmost part of the Northern Territory and was the end point of Ludwig Leichhardt's epic journey in 1844-45. This settlement was the longest lived of three failed attempts by the British to establish a settlement on the northern coast of Australia before 1850. Its history reflects many of the dominant themes of wider colonial history - isolation, tropical disease, poorly equipped and inexperienced colonists, inept government bureaucracies and relations with the Indigenous population. By looking at both the material evidence produced by archaeological excavation and the written sources, Allen sought to integrate both sorts of evidence to produce an eclectic history that was neither social nor political nor economic in its primary emphasis, but combined all three. When his research was presented as a doctoral dissertation at the Australian National University in 1969 its main theoretical thrust concerned the problems of this data integration and this remains a central issue in the discipline of historical archaeology in Australasia. Some 40 years on, ASHA's decision to launch its new monograph series by publishing this work has several purposes. At one level this monograph is of historical importance in establishing where the discipline began in this country. It explains both the theoretical and methodological problems Allen faced and how he sought to overcome them. At another level it provides the data from an important excavation that has not been previously published. On a third level it provides a particular sort of historical account of a small but important chapter of Australia's European beginnings that could not have been written without the dual sources of written documents and archaeology. Together they reflect a poignant episode in our past. In the decade following this work Port Essington became the subject of a four part ABC-TV drama, a musical composition by Peter Sculthorpe and paintings by Russell Drysdale. Port Essington will appeal as a reference book to both students and practitioners of historical archaeology and to people interested in Australian colonial history.

Higher education policy has increasingly gained a European dimension, with its own distinct influence over national education policies. Against this background, a major project was launched, the REFLEX project, which aims to make a contribution to assessing the demands that the modern knowledge society places on higher education graduates, and the degree to which higher education institutions in Europe are up to the task of equipping graduates with the competencies needed to meet these demands. The project also looks at how the demands, and graduates’ ability to realise them, is influenced by the way in which work is organised in firms and organisations. The REFLEX project has been carried out in sixteen different countries and consisted of a large scale survey among some 70.000 graduates. This report presents the major findings and draws important policy implications.

Eternity clearly means forever. It is a physical place, a destination, as well as a state of being. Heaven is the forever life destination. Hell is the forever death destination.Questions arise when you consider these forever destinations. For instance, why does a person go to heaven? How does he get there? You can ask the same questions about hell. Defining eternal life will help answer these questions.Jesus defined eternal life when He said: “This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.” (John 17:3) What Jesus is referring to is a personal relationship between man and God that lasts forever. God created man for relationship.Taking relationship into account, the answer to the above questions becomes: You go to heaven because you have a relationship with God and you go to hell because you don’t.Choice is required for relationships to exist. You must choose whether to enter into a relationship. In this book I examine how choices in relationships leads to the eternal destinations of either heaven or hell. God has placed humans into a world of choice from which it is impossible to escape. You cannot choose to not choose because even that is a choice!Overall, this book is about what it means to be a Christian.
