...Memento assignment The structure What we see beneath is how the parts that is coloured in the movie is played. The dots are where the scenes start and stop, and the green numbers above the arrows is scenes. We start at the end of the movie at dot number 2 and then we see scene number 1 which ends at dot number 1. Afterwards we see the first black/white part of the movie. The black/white parts are played in chronological order. After we have seen the first black/white part we jump to dot number three and watch scene number 2 which ends at dot number two. After seeing scene number two we watch the second black/white part. Then we jump to dot number 4 and so on. The real chronological order would be to first see all the black/white scenes in the movie in the order we see in the movie. Afterwards we would see scene 7, then scene 6 and so on until we have seen the last scene, the scene the movie started with. Because of this structure of the movie you need to follow closely or you need to know before you watch the movie how it works or else it can be very confusing. It also demands from the viewer that he/she notices the little things that happens for example when we see Sammy Jenkins at the institution and when someone walks by and suddenly it is Lenny sitting in the chair. As a viewer you also need to know when we deal with flashbacks and when we just jumped one scene back. Through the story we kind of experience how it feels to suffer from short-term memory loss like Lenny...

...Symbols of faith final paper Biblical Numerology Backstage | The world is composed of complicated mathematics. We often speak of its ability to expose and explain a number of beliefs and scientific happenings. Truth is, it has found itself to be both the ‘chicken and the egg’ to most arguments. Numerical significance can be both a proof, demonstration of an idea, or it can be the reason for the thought, concept, or philosophy. By definition, scholars believe that numerology is the placing of meaning on numbers in the Scriptures. Numerology is by no means restricted to Christianity, even though we choose to make it our focus for the purpose of this paper. Numerology attempts to explain the reason why God used numbers as he did, and what he was potentially trying to tell us. Thorough analysis and interpretation efforts have taken place along the years, in other to find meaning behind this scientific, most often philosophical, symbol use. “The Pythagoreans made number games philosophically respectable, and the great authority of Plato raised mathematics into theological realms. But at the lowest level, numbers remained magical.” The fall of the Roman Empire, caused a challenging transition for many, especially in terms of religion. From Paganism to Christianity, many had to look for a meaning, and be convinced, or understand, regardless of doubts that a new religion was to emerge. The early years of Christianity revolved around strong thinkers who were...

...Costco Case Study Costco Case Study In a time of global financial turmoil and shifting demographics, Costco must find ways to attract and retain customers to maintain market share and profitability. In the last 27 years Costco has become the fourth largest retailer in the United States and the eight largest in the world. By the end of 2009 it had 413 stores in the USA, 77 in Canada and 21 in the UK, 9 in Japan and 7 in Korea Australia has one and Taiwan has six (not including joint ventures in Mexico). The American and Canadian operations supply 93% of their net consolidated sales in 2008 and 2009 and 92% of the operating income. Declines in California or in Canada would be a serious blow to the company’s bottom line. The economy is taxing and retail sales are down for all major retailers. Costco must continue to respond effectively to all competitive pressures and adapt to changes in the industry. With higher interest rates, higher consumer debt loads, energy costs, inflation, cost to find and retain employees, and reduced consumer confidence in the market Costco faces a tough economic environment which can affect demand for their products and services. In addition, commodity prices like gasoline and food can shift dramatically. Costco has no assurance of vendor supply for merchandise and thus they are vulnerable to changes in the terms of sale, pricing and access to new products is not guaranteed. Out of stock positions can lead to loss of sales and consumer trust. Costco...

Costco is one of the world’s leading wholesale retailers with annual sales of $76.3 Billion for fiscal year (FY) 2010, which is an increase of 9% from the previous year ($69.9 billion). In addition, its earnings per share increased to $2.92, an annual increase of 18% from the previous year. (Costco Financial Report, 2011) This increase is an all time high for the company thereby solidifying its place as a leader in the wholesale industry. Costco and its Business Strategy From inception, Costco’s business strategy has been to offer limited products (4000) at lower prices coupled with great values while keeping overhead costs low. In its main product line Costco has about 3,000 products that are present in the stores at all times and 1000 products that are ever-changing. These 1000 lines allow Costco buyers/merchandisers to hunt for items that will keep customers coming back to see what is new or fresh in the stores. These items help Costco create the “treasure hunt” environment that will keep customers coming back to the store more frequently. The motivation...

Here, at what is a smorgasbord of carefully procured and exquisitely packaged food stuff, all the stars of Hastreiter’s bicoastal culinary-craft world collide. The vendors hail mostly from Brooklyn (Empire Mayonnaise, Morris Kitchen, Mile End) and California’s Bay Area (Boulettes Larder, Modern Appealing Clothing, Tartine Bakery and Cafe). “I’m kind of a maven, and these are really my favorite things,” says Hastreiter pointing to the Tang Brothers noodle stand. “Those are, like, the best noodles.” Walk through the mart and you might sample homemade mozzarella on honey-drizzled toast from the Cobble Hill restaurant Brucie, buy a Sol LeWitt star bowl (Hastreiter’s pick) at the Artware Editions booth, and eat a bite-sized burnt caramel s’more from S’more Bakery. “You have to think about the mix,” Haistreiter says. “Pair the savory with the sweet, and put complementary foods side by side.

"They pioneered what is now termed “warehouse retailing.” In this business model, business owners operate warehouse stores located in the cities, where buildings and real estate property have lower prices" (www.thehistoryofcorporate.com). Consumer products are bought directly from the manufacturers and delivered straight to these warehouse stores, where they are sold by the bulk at cheaper prices than that in department stores. Price Club, is the company formed by Sol and Robert Price, they opened its first warehouse in San Diego in 1976. Although its first year of operations wasn’t profitable, the second year saw Price Club very lucrative profits. Soon after, Price Club was able to rapidly recover all the money they put in and open another warehouse store in Phoenix, Arizona in 1978. Eventually, Price Club became a leading name in the warehouse retailing industry. Jim Sinegal, an executive vice president for Price club, left from Price Club and went to create Costco Wholesale Corporation in 1983. Costco’s marketing and distribution copied from Price’s designs.

...iography of Jim Sinegal “We want to build a company that will still be here 50 and 60 years from now." This is a quote from the famous CEO Jim Sinegal, who is best known for his benevolent style of management. He is known to offer employees high benefits and rewards and has debunked the myth that retail employers must pay their workers poorly. With a total annual compensation of just $425,000, he contradicts the boardroom notion that CEOs of billion-dollar corporations require pay packets to match1. Under his leadership and guidance, Costco has become the top warehouse-club retailer in the nation, with more than four hundred stores in the United States and abroad1. Jim Sinegal is the CEO and co-founder of Costco Wholesale Corporation. He was born on January 1, 1936 into a Catholic working-class family in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He attended Helix High School in La Mesa, California, where he dreamed of going to medical school. However, due to his mediocre grades, he was advised to attend San Diego Junior College, where he earned an associate's degree in 1955. While at school Jim met his future wife Jan who he would later marry in 1962, together they have three children: Michael, David and Suzanne. Michael is currently head of Costco’s Japanese operations and could be seen as Jim’s replacement sometime in the near future2. Since moving to Seattle in 1983, following the birth of Costco, Jim and Jan have been well known contributors to various community and...
