...Graphite located in Somewhere, Someplace. We had the pleasure of touring the plant, specifically the research and development laboratories. This tour let us experience what it feels like to test and research materials used to make high quality graphite. When we arrived at the plant the first thing was to meet in the presentation room and received our ID badges for entrance to the coming labs.

...Michael Sakacsi (572739) MG 495 Business Policy 12 Oct 2012 Netflix’s New Strategy: Time To Buy? Executive Summary: “Netflix is the world’s largest online DVD movie rental service offering more than one million members access to more than 15,000 titles” (History). In addition to the selection, Netflix provides fast, free delivery. The Company was formed by Reed Hastings and Marc Randolph in 1997. These two men had previous experience in new technologies; Randolph in a computer mail order company called “MicroWarehouse” and Hastings in a company called Pure Software. Randolph also was vice president of Borland International. It was Hastings, using his $700 Million sale of Pure Software that bankrolled the investment. “The DVD format, which can store a high-quality copy of an entire feature film on a single five-inch disc, had been introduced in the spring of the year.” (History). Even with the number of titles limited (less than a thousand at the time), Hastings and Randolph thought the format had the potential to replace video tapes. This was also the same period that the much larger laser disk was coming on the scene. They took the risk that the DVD would out produce other formats and overcome to become the new standard in home video. The company opened on April 14, 1998, with 30 employees and 925 titles for rent. (History) The company initially worked under the business plan of renting and selling DVDs to customers; providing an alternative to...

...graduating from H.S. in 1978. Hastings went to Bowdoin College where he majored in Mathematics and he graduated in 1983. After graduation, Hastings backpacked along Africa in the Peace Corps where he taught high school math to children. Upon his return from the Peace Corps, Hastings chose to go back to school to receive his master’s degree in computer science from Stanford University. After attending Stanford, Hastings worked for a software company where he invented a tool for debugging software. In 1991, Hastings left the company to pursue his own business endeavor, which was a start-up organization called Pure Software. The purpose of this company was to provide products which would help individuals troubleshoot software. The company was a huge success and was rapidly growing; in 1996 the company merged with another software company and became Pure Atria. Hastings asked to be appointed as Chief Technical Officer, but left shortly after the company was merged. In 1997, Hastings founded Netflix and launched the subscription service in 1999.

...Netflix Incorporated, Case Study Marketing 101-H1 Assignment 2: Case Study Analysis Group 4: Jagvir Bagri, Michael Catalfamo, Tina Hoang, Jason Rudzki Submitted to Dr. Youssef Ahmad Youssef Humber College Business School September 27, 2010 Introduction In the summer of 2011, the co-founder and chief executive officer of Netflix Inc. Reed Hastings, made the decision to separate the companies online streaming service from the DVD rental service. The DVD rental services mails out DVD’s to customers one video at a time and the streaming service allows customers to watch movies and television shows via the internet. Instead of charging each customer a flat rate for both services, as it had in the past, Hastings wanted to charge consumers for each service as its own separate entity. This meant each customer would now have two accounts (instead of one), pay considerably more in membership fees and still receive that same amount of content. Shortly afterwards, on July 12, 2011. Mr. Hastings, publicly announced the changes and informed his customers that they would come into effect in that coming September. In 2010, the business reported revenues of more than two billion dollars and had approximately twenty-million subscribers. After Hastings announced the split, his stocks fell by more than fifty percent from a one time high of more than three hundred dollars per market share. Stocks in Netflix continued declining quickly and before the end of the year, they...

...My Buddhism Essay DeVry University I chose to do my essay on Buddhism since reading about it in my religion class it grabbed my attention and I wanted to know more about it. My husband and I are born and raised Catholics but for the past 2-3 years we have shied away from the church because we feel they are more commercialized and are not concerned with how their followers feel about the church. Doing my research, there were no Buddhist temples in my area so the closest one I found was about 30 minutes away in New York City. When I called to find out if they offer tours they didn’t but I was welcomed to come and sit in on one of their temple meetings. This is about that experience. I found a Buddhist Church online called “The New York Buddhist Church.” The woman I spoke to was not very friendly and when I started to ask some questions, she gave me their website and said I could find the answers I was looking for. I went online to their website and started looking around to see when they would have meetings that I could attend. From what I gathered it looked like there was a temple meeting that I could attend on a Wednesday evening for chanting and meditation, this sounded like something I may enjoy! I left straight from work to attend this meeting in New York City and was planning on taking public transportation because I did not know how the traffic or the parking would be and taking public transportation I would be less stressed with both. I had dressed causal...

...[University Name] Metaphysics: The Transcendental Attributes of Being A research paper submitted to [Professor Name] In Partial Fulfillment of the requirements For The course [Course Name] [Seminary Name] By [Student Name] Place Date Introduction While Plato had also covered the notions surrounding the properties of being, Aristotle was the first to bring the term transcendental to the context of the attributes of being. Plato offered valuable insight regarding the four transcendental attributes of being. [1] Aristotle shaped the transcendentals in a specific manner and refined his own perspective. Later philosophers also expanded the discussion surrounding the transcendental attributes of being. These transcendentals become significant in the context of theology because they possess a link with Christian theology and unfold in the form of what man desires. For explicating the four transcendental attributes of being, it becomes significant to first explore the definition of an attribute. An attribute falls under the category of that aspect which does not exist in the form of the embodiment but originates from the same. As regards ‘being’, it can only give rise to what is also being and thus, a ‘being’ cannot spawn attributes or properties while discussing these terminologies in a firm manner. Nevertheless, while approaching the subject in a broader manner, an attribute can be defined for a specific perspective on being as long as it applies to each instance...
