...Film history Name Institution 1. How did the advent of home video technologies change the American film industry? In what ways did the studios—who in 1976 regarded home video as a competitor—exploit these technologies to their advantage? In the1960’s recording a consumer version of a videotape was a very costly venture, with the likes of companies companies like Ampex putting it on offer for 30,000 dollars in 1963. In the year 1969, Sony invented the Video Cassette Recorder which was later replaced with a more enhanced U-Matic which was introduced in 1972. The AVCO Cartri Vision System was the first to use prerecorded tapes of the famous movie used for sales and rental purposes.an year later the company went bankrupt this was precipitated by the invention of Sony’s Beta max the first’s Home Video Recorder which was very cheap and was retailing at a price of two thousand dollars compared to Ampex one. They recorded a high sales returns that year which brought major developments in the film industry 2.

...Chrystian Munoz June 30, 2013 ENGL 112 Essay # 2 Comparative Analysis of Two Literary Texts Deciding For a Way in Life, Trying to Make a New One The poem “Marriage” by Gregory Corso and the poem “I go back to May 1937” by Sharon Olds deal with the main topic of marriages and their different outcomes. The authors want to prove and describe the different scenarios that their lives and others would have turned out if things had been different in the past as well as in the present using fiction as well as drama. Although both poems relate two different scenarios and their stories have no connection what so ever, Corso and Olds explore with imaginary change of events, doubts about life and the pursuit of happiness. All of those components create a connection that seemed inexistent when reading both poems. The beauty of literature is that everything is possible; the writer can change events and scenarios as the story comes along at any time the writer wants. Corso’s poem “The Marriage” transports the reader to different scenarios beginning with two questions. “Should I get married? Should I be good?” (431). Taking the first question as an example, Corso puts a huge amount of pressure into the character with one of the most important decisions that a men or women take in life. In a deeper thought the character imagines his life as poor as well as rich, if he is going to live in a middle class apartment full of rats and roaches or in a beautiful high rise overlooking...

...This case is a tricky case to think about. Quantum Software obviously wants their employees to have a good time and be able to blow off some steam on a Friday afternoon. I have split feelings on this case. I think that it is great that they give their employees a time to let some steam off on a Friday afternoon, and it is an informa levent. I agree with Bill on the other hand as well, I can see the problem he has with the employee’s safety and reputation of the company. The one part of information that is not clear is whether the company is buying the alcohol for the employees or if they are just setting up the meeting time. If they are not buying the alcohol then there is nothing they can really do about what or how much the employees drink. It would be the employees responsibility to maintain a safe drinking range. They as a person should know what is considered respectful and not respectful to themselves, the bosses, and the company’s reputation. If the employer is buying the alcohol then I would suggest limiting the purchase to only one drink per employee. That way the reputation of the company is not in jeopardy and the employees are not getting drunk on the companies money but their own if they decided to keep drinking. It is also very important that they check with their insurance and lawyer to make sure that no law suits can be brought up from this function of TGIF. This is a very tough situation to determine and not very many employers offer such a situation to employees...

...Hinduism Hindus believe that the world was created by Brahma, a servant of their god Vishnu. According to the stories, Vishnu created grass, flowers, trees and plants of all kinds. He then created animals, birds and the many fish that swim in the sea. The ability to hear, touch, smell and other senses were then given to the creatures, as well. Death to the Hindu’s is a sequence of change you go through. Once you pass, your soul leaves your body. They believe in reincarnation or rebirth. This means your soul leaves the dead body and enters a new one. This can happen many times to one soul. It happens until you come to ultimate peace and then your soul will be liberated. Karma has a lot to do with this. “What comes around, goes around” is how the saying goes and in Hinduism, this is an actual belief. If your Karma is good, you will come to your ultimate end sooner than someone with bad Karma would. With bad Karma, it may take you many rebirths until you change your ways. That is the only way to become truly liberated. In Hinduism, the world is cyclically created and destroyed. The Rig-Veda questions the creation of the world. Asking questions like: “Who created this world?” “Why did they create it this way?” “Why can’t we see the creator?” It is believed that the universe will be created, destroyed and then created again. In Hinduism cosmology the universe is said to last for 4,320,000 years and then will be destroyed by either fire or water. Once the universe...

...CHAPTER 2 a Inve Doli a E Steel Works, Inc. BACKGROUND Gary Lemming sat in his new corner office and tapped his pencil on the desk. Lemming had just been named head of Steel Works, Inc.'s new centralized logistics group. After a decade of experience imple menting MRP (Materials Requirements Planning) systems throughout the company's manufacturing facilities, Lemming was confident he could handle the job. Until this morning. "Our inventory levels are ridiculous!" barked Jean Du Blanc, the company's Chief Financial Officer. "Our customer service is the worst in the industry, and getting worse," grumbled Kirk Callow, the CEO. Lemming started to explain, "You see, I've already set up a team to look at all of that. ..." But before he could finish, Callow stood up. "Sales are down 30 percent and expenses are up 25 percent. Our best customers are calling me and telling me they're going to our competitors, and at the rate we're losing market share we won't be in business in a year. I don't want to hear about teams; I want you back in here in a week telling me how you're going to fix this thing." Lemming looked over the list of people he'd asked to meet with him this week. He shook his head-how do I lower expenses and improve per formance? How will I ever find the right answer? Steel Works, Inc., is a manufacturer of custom and specialty use steels with annual sales of $400 million in 1993. Founded in 1980 by three brilliant material scientists from MIT, the company...

...Alejandra Valencia Professor Anzoleaga Comm 2 3 September 2013 Gender Roles The topic I decided to explore this semester is gender roles. The reason I decided to explore this topic because it’s a huge thing in my family and also culture. My parents are Mexican and they are very strict especially if you are a female.

I can’t really go out as much as my brothers and no I am not the only female in my family. A phrase that my parents and whole family would use is “you have to learn how to cook or how are you going to get married without being able to cook for your husband”. I hated hearing that. I don’t follow that tradition anymore where you have to be able to a house mother when you’re married. I am wanting to be independent and in my culture that doesn’t follow the gender roles that Hispanics have generated. This topic is Important to me cause I know what it is to live in gender roles. Genders roles will always be a huge thing in Mexican culture. June explained in her article that a lot of the women in the stated that are raised in this Hispanic culture become independent and break the traditional gender roles (June Soto 2010). I couldn’t agree more that is true I am doing and so are a lot of Hispanic women. In her article she also talked about many women are known to cook traditional food...

...Short Essay’s Questions/Answers On WESTERN CIVILIZATION Submitted by Dated Sec 1, Q1: Nineteenth century Europe began an enormous program of global expansion, establishing colonies in much of Africa and Asia. What domestic factors, old and new, caused this flurry of colonial activity in the period after the 1870s? What is the connection between this new imperialism and Social Darwinism? What can we learn about the process and success of imperialism in Africa and Asia from Conrad’s story? Answer The European colonialism brought different changes to the domestic level in Africa and Asian regions. The period after 1870s brought imperialistic aggression in African and Asian countries alongside the diplomatic pressures, colonial conquest and military invasion especially in the regions of Africa. The domestic people faced the foreign domination and attempt of colonization. During the 1870s the Europeans succeed to under control only 10% of the African region and it was the period when Europe started to grab the African land by the 1914, around 90 percent of the African continent was under control of Europeans (The Creation, 2011). In Africa the Berlin conference played vital role in regulating colonization alongside the trade in the African regions. Similarly in the Asian region in subcontinent, the European Colonialism was established ant later on the imperialism was started in 1857 after the freedom war.

...Solution to Toy World, Inc. Case 32A Toy World, Inc. Cash Budgeting Copyright ( 1996 by the Dryden Press. All rights reserved. CASE INFORMATION PURPOSE This case analyzes a straightforward cash budgeting problem. It is designed to illustrate the mechanics of a cash budget and the way cash budgets are used. Discussion questions focus on the rationale behind the use of cash budgets as well as on their inherent problems. The case also raises the issues of the target cash balance, the optimal size of the credit line, the investment of excess cash, and production scheduling for a seasonal business. TIME REQUIRED Without using the model, 3-4 hours of student preparation should be adequate for most students, with possibly another hour or so to write up the case if it must be handed in. Use of the spreadsheet model can greatly reduce preparation time, especially if the completed model or the easy macro version is given to students. COMPLEXITY A relatively simple, but with a fair amount of number crunching for students not using the spreadsheet model. However, a number of related issues can be discussed, so students can put in a significant amount of time on the case. Still, they can get the gist of it without too much trouble. WAYS WE HAVE USED THE CASE We have used this case in two very different ways. First, with both introductory and not very-well-prepared second course students, we ask them to read the case and to become generally...

...In December 2010, Qatar won its bid to host the 2022 World Cup. In preparation, Qatar will spend an estimated US$100 billion on infrastructure, including a new airport, roads, hotels and stadiums. As Qatar has begun building the infrastructure to host the World Cup, worker advocacy groups and human rights groups have sounded alarm about whether all the workers needed to build the infrasturcture would receive adequate workplace protections. Living and working conditions for some migrants in Qatar are appalling. Long hours in the blazing heat, low pay and squalid dormitories, are a daily ordeal for thousands - and they cannot leave without an exit visa. A last year stated Nepalese migrant workers were dying A report by Qatar’s government found 964 deaths of migrants from India, Nepal and Bangladesh in 2014. at a rate of one every two days and attributed those deaths to construction of the stadium. The Nepalese embassy in Qatar reported that 400 Nepalese workers had died working on World Cup projects since 2010. The Indian embassy reported that 500 Indian workers had died in Qatar since 2012. Whether the cause of death is labelled a work accidents, heart attack (brought on by the life threatening effects of heat stress) or diseases from squalid living conditions, the root cause is the same – working conditions “We know that people who work long hours in high temperatures are highly vulnerable to fatal heat strokes, so obviously these figures continue to cause alarm,” said...

After that, Noah decided to stay behind and stay at a stream near the California border, because he thought that his family didn't love him as much as the other children. Ma Joad wanted the family to stay together in one house. For example, when Rose of sharon tells ma that she and Connie plan on finding their own house, and Connie was going to study overnight and find a job with good pay, Ma gets upset and won’t allow it. Another example would be when the car breaks down and Tom decides that him and Casy will stay back to fix the car and Ma doesn't like the idea. In this quote, “What we got lef’ in the worl’?

...be answered. Because of its 14 verses the poem is an Italian sonnet , it is separated in two stanzas, the first one contains eight verses and the second includes six verses. The first stanza is written in an embracing rhyme which can be considered as welcoming people. It is about the statue itself. It is compared to the “Colossus of Rhodos”, which is different from the statue, if one thinks of the “Colossus of Rhodos” one is connecting it with dominating power (ll.1) The Statue of Liberty is called “ Mother of Exiles” which shows that she is welcoming immigrants and that anyone can find his or her home in America.(ll.6) She is also welcoming everyone, not only the immigrants, the homecomers as well, that is shown by the alliteration worls-wide welcome in line 7.She is placed in the harbor of New York City, where many immigrants come to, she is also turned to the world and not to America, that shows that America is happy to welcome these immigrants. The second stanza is written in a cross-rhyme, that shows that the topics is changing, Emma Lazarus is not writing about the statue itself anymore, she is describing the intention of the statue. She writes about what the statue would say if she could talk, to demonstrate that she used the paradox of silent lips(ll.10). The direct address are ancient lands (ll.9). The statue tries to tell these lands, Europe, that they should send their homeless people to America (ll.13), because it can be a home for everyone. In the last verse...
