...Washburn Guitars Case Evaluation There are a few factors that are likely to affect the demand for the lines of Washburn Guitars. Changing the price of the guitars that are sold would affect the demand for Washburn guitars that are bought by first-time guitar buyers. The demand for Washburn guitars will increase if they lower their prices. First-time guitar buyers want good value for the product that they are buying. Lowering the price would not have a significant effect on sophisticated musician buyers. Endorsements by internationally known musicians who use their guitars will increase demand by increasing customer awareness of their product. First-time guitar buyers will want to buy a Washburn guitar because one of their favorite musicians uses a Washburn guitar. These endorsements will make Washburn guitars a recognized brand name which will affect demand for first-time guitar buyers. Sophisticated musicians will also want to buy a Washburn guitar, if it is endorsed by a well-known musician, because they will think that it is a high quality guitar since it is being endorsed by amazing, popular musicians. These sophisticated musicians will want to buy signature guitars because of the prestige of the musician’s name. Another factor that would affect demand is Washburn guitars receiving great reviews. Customers will read these positive reviews in magazines and on the internet and they will want to go out and get a Washburn guitar for themselves. First-time guitar buyers will...

... Adrienne Martin PSY/310 Cassandra Robinson Introduction: Margaret Floy Washburn was born on July 25th, 1871 in New York..She was an only child who spent much of her time reading books and acquiring all the knowledge her small mind could handle .Her father was an Episcopal minister and he had a parish in a small Orange County village for two years. Her family then moved to a modest river city in Kingston, where she obtained her high-school education. This later led her to go on to Vassar College. After leaving New York she entered a public school and was wrongly entered into a grade that was too high where she had much trouble with mathematics but due to her diligence she entered high school at the age of twelve. Washburn decided to go to Vassar in 1886 for the fall semester of but at this point in time there were not any majors accepted in the curriculum at Vassar. Latin, , Math, Chemistry, English and Physics, were required during a student’s sophomore year; Ethics and Psychology in the senior year but there was not a requirement to continue in any of the other subjects.

...stage of product development is characterized by the necessity of creating tools and other machinery that will be used to create the product in question. (Washburn and Huang) Agreements between suppliers and distributers are usually required so that production can begin while protecting the interests of both parties. The supplier typically does not want to bear the early production costs unless there is a guaranty in place so that the supplier can recoup the initial costs of production. Conversely, distributors do not want to tie themselves to these costs in case the product does not perform well in its market. (Washburn et al.) A multi-year contract is often the solution to this problem. In this contract the supplier is reimbursed for the initial costs of production and the equipment used becomes the property of the distributor. Additionally, the distributor may offer an advance on all costs at the beginning of the business relationship. (Washburn et al.) It should also be noted that since labor and material costs can change from one year to the next, a cost increase clause can be inserted into these production contracts. This allows the supplier to adjust their compensation, usually at the end of the year. If the distributor refuses the increase, then the contract is terminated and the short term contract is over. (Washburn et al.) The litigious nature of American society created the need for product liability and insurance in case a problem arises resulting from the normal...

...In 1869, after working in his uncle's hardware supply company in Minneapolis, Charles A. Pillsbury, 27 years old, bought one-third of a local flour mill for $10,000 and began what would become the Pillsbury Company. Pillsbury and their competition, the Washburn Crosby Company, formed the Minneapolis Millers Association that same year. Pillsbury's improved in milling machinery included the early incorporation of modern equipment for milling the very hard local wheat. These improvements and the purchase of two additional mills allowed him to produce 2,000 barrels of flour a day by 1872. That year, he reorganized the company as C.A. Pillsbury and Company, making his father and uncle partners. During the 1880s, Pillsbury added six more mills, including...

...ambitious visions of two particular men, CC Washburn and James J. Hill, helped create what others did not know was possible. This industrial powerhouse created by these two men was the catalyst for the development of Minneapolis and the birthplace of a number of companies which remain significant to this day, including General Mills, Pillsbury, Washburn Crosby (WCCO), and Xcel Energy, and what is now known as the iconic Mill Ruins Park. The park interprets the history of flour milling in Minneapolis and shows the ruins of several flour mills that were abandoned. In its 19th-century heyday, this area of mills and other historic resources made up the largest water powered facility in the world. Since then, the original objective of the space has shifted to accommodate the needs of Minneapolis residents of this millenium, providing evidence on the economic change that occurred with the river banks, with both the bridge itself and the ruins associated with it. A father of modern milling in America and founder of what became General Mills, Cadwallader C. Washburn built the first Washburn A Mill in 1874. It was declared the world’s largest flour mill upon its completion. The seven-story mill was powered with river water from the Mississippi, which was then diverted through a canal that ran inside its lower level. With two hundred workers, it was one of the city's largest employers. One year later an explosion instantly demolished the Washburn A mill and killing fourteen workers inside...

...The love for music and the care for the instruments are what motivate most the employees at Washburn Guitars. They have a tremendous value for music that their reward is to see a guitar finished. “Since our beginning in 1883, Washburn continues to build upon our foundation of high quality craftsmanship down to the very last detail. Our acoustics embody thoughtful details like easy playability, touch sensitive feel, and inspiring tone in every guitar.” (Washburn History) Most of the employees have a passion so great for the job that that that far exceeds any tangible reward. “Motivators are called intrinsic motivators because motivation comes from within the person through the work itself. Intrinsic motivators include achievement, recognition, challenge, and advancement.” (Lussier & Achua, 2013, p. 84) Because Washburn’s employees love their job they are more dedicated to creating the some of the best guitars. Working at Home Depot was one of the first jobs I held that gave extrinsic rewards to their employees. “Maintenance factors are called extrinsic motivators because motivation comes from outside the job itself.” (Lussier & Achua, 2013, p. 84) Home Depot used to have this reward called the Homer Fund. It was a badge given to employees for outstanding customer service or for going above and beyond in the work place. This badge was to be collected and worn on your apron. Once an employee collected five badges they could be turned in to payroll and you would receive...

...many different ways. A lot of these women made significant contribution to the history of psychology between the years 1850 and 1950. People sometimes may often overlook the women in psychology’s history. One of the famous women in psychology was Margaret Washburn. Margaret Washburn was born on July 25, 1871 in Harlan in New York City. Margaret was well known in Psychology. She was the first women to earn a PH.D in Psychology. She was different then some women, she chooses to worry about her career instead of getting married and starting a family. She was similar to other women also though, she likes ballroom dancing, playing the piano, and painting when she was not busy with her career. Washburn spent most of her career life at Vassar College teaching. During her time there she published 134 articles and 66 book reviews/notices. “She was instrumental in the maturation of psychological endeavors as a scholarly and scientific endeavor.” ( Board of trustees of northern Illinois University, 2011). One of the best known publications was the animal mind. It was a book that was published that became the first textbook in comparative psychology that compiled the experimental studies of animal behavior and mentality. Washburn believed that psychology is about studying both consciousness and behavior and that research should both explain and describe by obtaining and interpreting facts. In her career she held many different positions which included; APA president in 1921, she was...

...* ------------------------------------------------- Introduction: * ------------------------------------------------- One of the benefits of the internet is transferring file between computers to share information between people, but computers which run different operating systems need a common language between them to understand each other and this language is called protocols (Washburn et al., 1996). FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a protocol to transfer files that described for the first time in the early seventies and standardized in 1982 (Matthews, 2005). SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) is another file transfer protocol, but the first RFC describing SFTP was released in 2001 (Ylonen et al. 2001). Organizations have to provide file transfer services to their customers, and they should choose the secure file transfer protocol which will secure their costumers files. In this essay, a comparison between FTP and SFTP would be making from three aspects. Firstly, I will illustrate the differences between FTP and SFTP in starting communication methods, and how they maintain the connection and the ports used by them. Secondly, I will focus on security vulnerabilities of FTP and SFTP and their effects on users and files security. Finally, I will compare the speed of files transferring in FTP and SFTP for different files with different sizes. * ------------------------------------------------- Communication Approach: * ------------------------------------------------- ...
