In a little over a decade, the British production company Kudos has amassed an impressive catalogue of television and film, creating original, popular, award-winning work with flair and intelligence and a keen sense of emerging talent.
From the outset Kudos made a name for itself with a wide-ranging slate that highlighted clever reality-based programming and sharp fictional entertainment, from the edgy BAFTA-nominated medical drama Psychos to the International Emmy Award-winning The Magician's House to the Grammy-nominated feature length Radiohead documentary Meeting People is Easy.
In short, Kudos is a production company for the 21st century: forward thinking, smart, and dynamic.

 The Stage / News / Snobbery among actors and agents undermines British TV - Garrett
Actors and agents who turn down long-term television work in case they are offered a Hollywood film role are jeopardising the creativity of the British TV industry, managing director of Kudos production company Stephen Garrett has warned.
He claimed that performers and their agents are reluctant to commit to returning drama series on terrestrial channels because they are “waiting for a call from Hollywood that will never come”.
He added: “Lots of actors do not like to sign them because various television companies, in offering such contracts, instil in them pay increases that don’t reflect the success of the character they play.

  Mazda History - Edmunds.com   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Company founder Jujiro Matsuda chose the word "Mazda" because it was the name of the Zoroastrian god of good and light.
By 1960, the first Mazda automobile — the R360 coupe — was developed, and the company's foray into the production of passenger vehicles began in full force.
In 1961, the company entered into a technical partnership with NSU and Wankel to develop and produce rotary engines, a union that led to Mazda's distinguishing itself as the only manufacturer to offer three engine configurations: conventional gasoline piston, diesel and rotary.

 KVR: Johnny Cash - Hurt
Kudos (IPA: ['kü-"däs], ['kju:dɒs], from the Greek κύδος kydos (literally "that which is heard of") means fame and renown resulting from an act or achievement; by extension is often used as a praising remark.
But kudo does exist in use; it is simply one of the most recent words created by back-formation from another word misunderstood as a plural.
Kudos was introduced into English in the 19th century; it was used in contexts where a reader unfamiliar with Greek could not be sure whether it was singular or plural.

In addition, new, or modified, product launch times have been reduced by 25 to 50% primarily because of the instant information availability and the benefits of editing existing similar processes instead of re-engineering from scratch as is often done.
With product design cycle times being shortened from years to weeks and months, and with production batch sizes being reduced to as low as lots of one, the production worker is needing more information, more quickly, in a manner that is easy to access and maintain.
As the Industrial and Manufacturing engineer develops the integration of the products, processes, resources, and locations these work instructions are electronically associated and compiled to create work instructions that can be distributed about a product produced in many locations, or distributed about all products and processes produced at a location.
