  • Ebay: from Green to Gold
    CASE: M-329 DRAFT DATE: 07/15/2010 EBAY: FROM GREEN TO GOLD US consumers are truly “sleeping giants” in terms of the ability to affect change through purchase behavior. ---Robert Chatwani, Director Global Citizenship, eBay Inc. INTRODUCTION When the devastating earthquake hit Haiti in January 2010, eBay‘s response was fast and powerful. The eBay foundation provided $100,000, as well as matching gifts for employees‘ donations, to support the relief efforts of The American Red Cross, Save the Children and Oxfam. While most companies can provide support through a corporate foundation, due to its large community, eBay‘s reach is unmatched. It mobilized this community by enabling buyers to make a contribution at checkout (Give@Checkout), and waived the processing fees for these donations. Celebrity giving on the site included Scarlett Johannson‘s offer of tickets to the opening night of her Broadway play and Stephen Colbert‘s offer of the interview table from ―The Colbert Report‖. Through PayPal, users could also make gifts directly to nonprofit organizations involved in the relief efforts; eBay waived processing fees for these gifts for a 30 day period. Finally, sellers could commit to donating a percentage of their listings‘ final sale price (Donate Now) to the nonprofits of their choice. By January 21, 2010, the eBay community had raised over $835,000 through the Give@Checkout and Donate Now features on the site. These actions showed the power of eBay‘s consumers and their power to make purchasing choices based on issues that were most important to them. Enabling users to donate to the causes they cared about was important and valuable but it would not be the extent of eBay‘s global citizenship.

It is, in other words, a part, a very signal part of a civilization and a period, from which, unlike his Britannic Majesty, it makes no claim to separation. On the contrary, unsurpassed as it is, it takes its rightful place in the literature of democracy. For its primacy, is a primacy which derives from the experience which evoked it.

  • Meg Whitman to Step Down As President and CEO of Ebay
    January 23, 2008 Meg Whitman to Step Down as President and CEO of eBay John Donahoe Will Become President and CEO on March 31 San Jose, Calif., January 23, 2008 – eBay Inc. (Nasdaq: EBAY; www.ebay.com) announced today that Meg Whitman will step down as President and CEO of eBay on March 31, 2008. Whitman will remain on the company's Board of Directors. Whitman joined eBay in March 1998. At the time, eBay was a U.S.-only, auction-based trading site with 500,000 registered users, just 30 employees, and $4.7 million in revenue. Today, the company has hundreds of millions of users worldwide, more than 15,000 employees and nearly $7.7 billion in revenue. Whitman led eBay to become one of the fastest-growing companies in history. Over the last 10 years, she has built an unforgettable portfolio of brands and a thriving business that enables millions of people to trade, pay and communicate online. "Meg's passion for all things eBay changed the world," said Pierre Omidyar, Founder of eBay and Chairman of the Board. "With humor, smarts and unflappable determination, Meg took a small, barely known online auction site and helped it become an integral part of our lives. We're all enormously grateful that Meg dedicated herself to stewarding eBay through its 10 most formative years." eBay's Board of Directors voted unanimously to elect John Donahoe President and CEO. Donahoe came to eBay in February 2005 from Bain & Company, where he had served as worldwide managing director since 1999. For nearly three years, Donahoe has been President of eBay Marketplaces, which accounts for more than 70 percent of the company's global revenues.

Friends and Beverly Nichols The Lens was founded in 2009, but the seeds of the organization date back to 2005, when the colleagues sometimes ask me where I find the energy to keep going year after year. Indeed, as we Martin C. Pedersen levees collapsed and New Orleans flooded in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. In many Harry Shearer near the end of a decade of reporting, I sometimes ask myself! ways, the recovery of New Orleans was a DIY effort based on the engagement, collaboration and ingenuity of its citizens. But the answer is right there in front of me every time I visit the site. It’s there in the astonishingly STAFF skillful and impactful work of our reporters and editors; it’s there in the daily ebb and flow of our audience metrics as readers — and public officials — dig into our journalism and respond to it.

    Our Future Leaders Today’s Business Leaders Reflect on Tomorrow’s Work World—From the Perspective of Their Children ABOUT THIS SURVEY In March and April 2017, Russell Reynolds survey- ed more than 300 senior leaders, nearly half of whom sit in the C-suite, on what it will take to be successful in the workplace of the future. Eighty-eight percent of survey respondents were parents. The study consisted of an online survey fielded by ClearVoice Research and five in-depth interviews with prominent business executives. 2 | OUR FUTURE LEADERS: TODAY’S BUSINESS LEADERS REFLECT ON TOMORROW’S WORK WORLD Will Siris and Alexas fit seamlessly into the workforce?

Here's where the VTA, BART staffs collided head-on over San Jose's subway (Silicon Valley Business Journal) 2. Roadshow: Lawsuit means delays on Measure B projects (Mercury News) 3. Palo Alto subsidized public transit (KCBS Radio) Here's where the VTA, BART staffs collided head-on over San Jose's subway (Silicon Valley Business Journal) The staffs of the two transportation agencies involved in San Jose’s planned downtown subway came together in public for the first time Friday over the issue of what kind of tunnel should be built. It was a head-on collision at the VTA board's BART extension workshop. The question now is whether the Valley Transportation Authority and BART can resolve their differences over the single-bore/twin-bore issue within what already was a tight timeline for federal approval and not delay the project. "I was disappointed," said VTA board chair Jeannie Bruins of Los Altos. "Having worked in high tech, I have to say that when you have major projects, it's hard to move past talking at each other and moving to talking with each other. I'm hoping that having had the forum today, we're all motivated to start working with one another a little more closely." Members of both transit agencies staffs traveled jointly to Barcelona, Spain, in July to see the world's only operational single-bore subway line.

  • Racism's Occlusion from the Anti-Tom Novel to Charlottesville
    “A Single White Line Running Through a Web of Blackness”: Racism’s Occlusion from the Anti-Tom Novel to Charlottesville by © David Mitterauer submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts at the English Department Memorial University of Newfoundland August 2019 St. John’s Newfoundland and Labrador Snowflake in the diving glow Contemplating the waves over the ground A grimace of fear and awe Spreading in the crowd around Amazing, unearthly The figure’s face on the temple is me –“Veridical Paradox,” Delusion Squared i Abstract This MA thesis discusses how romance as a literary form makes the Anti-Tom novel a malleable rhetorical vehicle to carry white supremacist ideology. Drawing on an interdisciplinary framework of postcolonial theory and race studies, the thesis analyzes antebellum Anti-Tom novels (Sarah J. Hale’s Liberia [1853]; Caroline Lee Hentz’s The Planter’s Northern Bride [1854]; and Charles Jacobs Peterson’s The Cabin and Parlor [1852]) and expands the genre’s definition to include Thomas Dixon’s The Leopard’s Spots (1902) and contemporary white-supremacist science fictions (William Luther Pierce’s The Turner Diaries [1978]; Ellen Williams’ Bedford: A World Vision [2000]; and Ward Kendall’s Hold Back This Day [2001]). The primary concerns of this thesis are to understand how the American slaveholding past signifies in the present political moment, to understand why the removal of the General Robert E. Lee statue catalyzed the violent riots in Charlottesville, Virginia, in August 2017, and to understand the affective preconditions Donald J.
