Netflix is trying to basically configure and clean house.  They are trying to model the opposite of the Amazon company and the way Amazon advertises and presents its videos and movies.  The first significant changes that the Netflix site made was changing the customer/consumer reviews. Next, the company plans to show advertisements in between episodes. Certain users will be exempt from these types of commercials. Netflix got the idea from its sister company "Hulu." Overall, this article explains all the changes made starting now that the Netflix company has said to put in place.

Accounting 301 - Coca-Cola is buying Costa Coffee for $5 billion

https://money.cnn.com/2018/08/31/investing/coca-cola-company-costa/index.html

I chose to review David Sakazaki's article post.  The article listed above, is about Coca-Cola buying out a European retail store chain, called "Costa Coffee."  The reason that Coke did this, and bout out the company for about $5 billion (U.S.), was that they basically are trying to expand their company and expand their profit margin in the beverage market.  The article states that with this purchase of Costa Coffee locations will bring Coke as a competitor for other big coffee companies, like Starbucks.  Costa Coffee currently has "4,000 stores across 32 countries." The decision still needs to be approved by shareholders and other management, until the deal is officially set.

Reflection #5 (week)

        This week was full of paper work and homework that almost killed my membrane.  Every day it was a new topic to learn and after every break there was more worksheets.  This week was short but it was full knowledge that we needed to know by Friday.


This week we had covered Pepeke Ua Painu, Nono'a He, we learned more about Na Mea Ohana, Pepeke E Painu, Ko/Ka Markers and another word used to also say 'A'ole which was Mai.  We took the quiz on that Ohana topic also, on Tuesday. Like I said since this week was a short week so we only learned the basics on all of the major topics that I've said.  This week's quiz, I did pretty good and I was pretty proud of myself for getting a descent grade of a 94% out of 100.  The Ko and the Ka markers were kind of hard at first when Kumu was explaining it to us, but after a few questions to my classmates I finally knew how to work it and how to use it correctly.  One of the days in this week we learned a knew Hawaiian word that could be used in negative statements  to say the english word Don't. That word is "Mai", and it is used in Pepeke E Painu which is used for commands or suggests to a person, but remember you only can command or suggest someone if they are in front of you and not somewhere else.  On Wednesday it wasn't a break day after all, it was a stressfull day of family problems and the worst thing was that Kumu gave us so much homework that he expected us to do, even though we didn't really go over it that much. But thankfully he gave us one of those helping paper that showed me step by step how to do each statement/topic in both the positive way and the negitive way.  The only struggles I had this week were on the Ho'ike day when it came to the written part, I just didn't have much ideas to write so I kind of failed on that part of the test.  Now I know I should really study and boost my head for more mana'o to write about the topic when it is the finals day.

    Honestly even though we had a day off this week I still think it felt as if it was a normal week full of thinking, learning and fun.  I loved this week because it ended off with some planting, to bring home two hawaiian crops at the last day of summer school.

Reflection #3 (Week)

         This week, the 1st week of Summer School at Kamehameha was pretty harsh due to the fact that I was still getting my brain ready for Quizes, Projects, or work and to get ready for 28 days of stress!  But this week went by pretty fast even though we had covered so much topics and activities throughout the week's school hours.  The topics we covered and I learned from were the Hakalama, helu, Pepeke Aike He, Pi'apa, Na Ninau 5, Student's Handbook, Na Ka'i, Piha, Keao Rule  even the names in hawaiian about our body parts. Also, we/I learned more about how Haloa, the first born has connection to all hawaiians, in the weeks school hours we were taking notes during the lessons on different subjects for the upcoming pretests, which would help us with the Hoike on the weeks friday; which is an exam to test us on what we learned throughout the week. The manao from what we learned more about Haloas connection to us was that since Haloa was said to be the first born, he was the older sibling/brother to us hawaiians, and we/all other hawaiian was said to be his younger sibling. Haloa or the kalo was to be the hawaiians main food source and in that connection it shows how our big/older brother respects us and nutures us like an older sibling is supposed to do. Also, we hawaiias need to be a younger sibling and listen and care for our elders so haloa will give the same respect to us. The sstruggles that i have in this class is only on a few things that i think i need to work on and those are my talking (the way i pronounce hawaiian words), my remembrance (when remembering information I tend to not get it the first time and I tend to ask "could you say that again") and lastly maybe, my quickness around the classroom (some days/sometimes I'm waited upon in class). I can fix these by just practice more reading but in Hawaiian, I can fix my remembrance problems by listening while doing my notes/something else (multi-tasking) and last but not least my quickness, it could be fixed by listening the first time when being told to stop. 
       This week was fun and it was filled with first timer obstacles and I can surely say that I will enjoy looking forward to a new week of learning, more/new activities and more and more of the stress!

Reflection #2

             Today, we've pretty much did many things in 4 hours.  We had started the day with some reading about Haloa, we also had a review of the 5 Ninau, a review about the Hakalama, then we learned about the next topic which was Hawaiian Numbers up to 100, even some Papani, and we did an activity that involved explaining "Pepeke Aike He".  Some things I learned throughout today was most of the numbers from 20-100 which I didn't know at first.  I learned a few spelling rules in Hawaiian language and more about the first born Haloa and the connection he has to all of us, Hawaiians.  The only Problems/struggles I have, so far, is the right saying of the Hawaiian words/numbers because sometimes I say word wrong or in a weird, such way.  But, overall I think I'm doing well, so far, here, at Summer School.

Reflection #1

      Today we basically had introductions to what assignments/activities we are going to do in Summer School 2012. ( for Hawaiian Language 1 ).  Some thing/information that I've learned today was the names in Hawaiian of the different parts or tools that was used to make Pa'iai.  For example, the Pohaku Ku'eai ( is the stone used to pound with ), Papa Ku'eai ( the board you Ku'e on ); and maybe I leaned about the information of the Kalo and Haloa.  Some information I already knew or that was a review for me was the five basic questions we were working on in class.  Well, I knew most of the questions and i knew how to answer most of them in Hawaiian.
