  • Incorporating Authentic Video Into Language-Learning Mobile Applications
    Incorporating Authentic Video into Language-learning Mobile Applications Andrew Watabe A project submitted to the faculty of Brigham Young University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts J. Paul Warnick, Chair Rob Alan Martinsen Rob Reynolds Center for Language Studies Brigham Young University Copyright © 2021 Andrew Watabe All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Incorporating Authentic Video into Language-learning Mobile Applications Andrew Watabe Center for Language Studies, BYU Master of Arts Authentic content in language materials can provide learners with meaningful contexts that enhance language learning (Shrum & Glisan, 2016). This project seeks to create a Japanese- learning iOS app that teaches language directly from authentic Japanese YouTube videos. The app provides a video library where users can find videos on a variety of topics such as food, music, beauty, and games. Each video features video captions, vocabulary exercises, and grammar drills based on the language used in the video. Students enrolled in Japanese classes at Brigham Young University were asked to test out the app and provide feedback on their experience. The participants enjoyed the authentic content and found the written transcripts of the videos to be helpful to their learning. They also requested additional content and features to improve the app. Based on the participants’ comments, we created a plan of action including future updates for the app. Keywords: CALL, authentic texts, Japanese, scaffolding, mobile apps, YouTube

  • Alphabet Board of Directors
    WMHSMUN XXXIV Alphabet Board of Directors Background Guide “Unprecedented committees. Unparalleled debate. Unmatched fun.” Letters From the Directors Dear Delegates, Hello delegates! My name is Katie Weinsheimer, and I am looking forward to meeting you all on Zoom this fall at WMHSMUN XXXIV. The world of international Internet governance and the moral/ethical issues that arise from the introduction of ‘smart’ technology have been an interest of mine throughout my college career, so I am very excited to delve into these issues as your committee director for the Alphabet Board of Directors. I am a senior international relations major from Silver Spring, MD. I am in the St. Andrews William & Mary Joint Degree Programme, which means I am coming back to W&M after studying abroad in Scotland for two years. I joined William & Mary’s International Relations Club as a freshman after doing model United Nations in high school like all of you. I have loved my time in the club and have loved being involved in all of the conferences the College hosts. I am currently the registration director for our middle school conference, WMIDMUN XIX. Outside of model UN, I love reading, traveling, and cooking/trying new restaurants. But enough about me, you are here for stock market domination! As the Alphabet Board of Directors, you are responsible for the financial health of Alphabet and its subsidiary companies. Directors are charged with assessing and managing the risk associated with Alphabet’s various investments. This committee will take place in November 2020. With COVID-19 raging and poised to worsen in the winter months, the Board will have to make tough decisions about current and future investments.

  • The Uber Board Deliberates: Is Good Governance Worth the Firing of an Entrepreneurial Founder? by BRUCE KOGUT *
    ID#190414 CU242 PUBLISHED ON MAY 13, 2019 The Uber Board Deliberates: Is Good Governance Worth the Firing of an Entrepreneurial Founder? BY BRUCE KOGUT * Introduction Uber Technologies, the privately held ride-sharing service and logistics platform, suffered a series of PR crises during 2017 that culminated in the resignation of Travis Kalanick, cofounder and longtime CEO. Kalanick was an acclaimed entrepreneur, building Uber from its local San Francisco roots to a worldwide enterprise in eight years, but he was also a habitual rule- breaker. 1 In an effort to put the recent past behind the company, the directors of Uber scheduled a board meeting for October 3, 2017, to vote on critical proposals from new CEO Dara Khosrowshahi that were focused essentially on one question: How should Uber be governed now that Kalanick had stepped down as CEO? Under Kalanick, Uber had grown to an estimated $69 billion in value by 2017, though plagued by scandal. The firm was accused of price gouging, false advertising, illegal operations, IP theft, sexual harassment cover-ups, and more.2 As Uber’s legal and PR turmoil increased, Kalanick was forced to resign as CEO, while retaining his directorship position on the nine- member board. His June 2017 resignation was hoped to calm the uproar, but it instead increased investor uncertainty. Some of the firm’s venture capital shareholders (VCs) marked down their Uber holdings by 15% (Vanguard, Principal Financial), while others raised the valuation by 10% (BlackRock).3 To restore Uber’s reputation and stabilize investor confidence, the board in August 2017 unanimously elected Dara Khosrowshahi as Uber’s next CEO.

  • Appendix D: Profitability of Google and Facebook
    Appendix D: Profitability of Google and Facebook Introduction 1. As part of the market study, we have undertaken an analysis into the financial performance of Alphabet Group (Google) and Facebook (this includes Instagram, WhatsApp and Messenger). 2. We have undertaken financial analysis for both platforms to enable us to establish whether the platforms are generating returns persistently higher than if they were operating in a more competitive market. 3. We have undertaken analysis of the following elements of financial performance for Google and Facebook: • the overall financial performance, including a review of profits, return on capital, and certain other measures reflecting trends in monetisation; and • the returns earned relative to benchmarks, including the relationship between their returns on investment and their cost of capital. Alphabet Group Financial performance of the Group 4. In assessing Google’s financial performance, we have started with Google’s group financial statements. In October 2015, Google established a new parent company, Alphabet Inc. Alphabet splits its reported performance into two operating segments for US financial reporting purposes: • Google; and • Other Bets. 5. Our market study is interested in the performance of businesses within the Google segment, and this appendix seeks to understand the level of profitability of the search business, in particular. The businesses most relevant to our study form the great majority of the Google segment by revenue including search, YouTube, Maps, Android, digital advertising, Chrome and Google Play. Many of the ‘business units’ in the Google segment are not directly monetised. Brands such as Android, Chrome and Gmail are monetised largely through their role in developing what is often referred to as an ‘ecosystem’ within which Google is the default search provider, allowing Google to monetise these activities through digital advertising.

(hereinafter referred to as “Plaintiff”) brings this suit for trademark infringement Defendants, CALICO LLC (“Calico”). GOOGLE, INC., (“Google”) and ALPHABET INC. (“Alphabet”) (collectively, “Defendants”), and alleges as follows: NATURE OF ACTION 1. This is an action for trademark infringement based upon Defendants having improperly and willfully used a mark nearly identical to Plaintiff’s trademark CALICO, with trademark Registration No. 3,680,863, without permission, thereby causing customer confusion and unfairly competing with Plaintiff by the improper use of Plaintiff’s Trademark.

This Court has jurisdiction over the subject matter of this action pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1331 and 1338(a) and (b), as well as 15 U.S.C. §1121.
