My semi-regular scientific sermon will return next week. I'll instead continue my Netflix series. The company was founded in 1997 with headquarters in Los Gatos, California. They now have 182 million paid subscriptions worldwide, 69 million in the U.S. None in China. If you had invested $1000 in 2002, the value would today be close to $350,000.
Netflix started as a DVD sales and rental business, but largely abandoned that in 2007 to enter streaming. Beginning in 2012 they became an active producer and distributor. Their first series was House of Cards (RT:77%/76%) beginning in 2013, providing 73 episodes in 6 seasons. Orange Is the New Black (RT: 90%/81%--although season 7 earned a 98% rating by reviewers) also started that year and went on for 91 episodes in 7 seasons. Just in 2016 they released 126 original series. Last year Netflix scored 15 Oscar nominations, equal to the total previously. They have been able to avoid state and federal taxes.
Here is a list of original programs distributed by Netflix. How many? You try counting.
Rotten Tomatoes has reviewed them all, and those that scored 60% and higher made the list of best 156 Netflix shows. I scrolled down the list and the first program I recognized was Designated Survivor (2016), at RT 71% and #135. House of Cards was #121, Black Mirror RT 83% at #100 and Orange is the New Black RT 90% at #68.

Let me further elaborate because yesterday I indicated that I had two more meals and would add them later. After the second meal I found Ugly Delicious, which was fascinating, and unlike Midnight Diner and Samurai Gourmet, is a real food series. Momofuku founder David Chang created, produced and stars in now a second series. His parents emigrated from Korea (father, North, and mother, South). He has a bunch of Momofuku, Fuku and Milk Bar eateries, mostly in New York, but around the world, and won numerous cuisine awards. About my two meals, first loco moco, with ahi and abalone sashimi:
The second, chicken katsu (cutlet) with hirame (flounder) sashimi:

I'm into the year 1952:
- Winter Olympics in Oslo, Norway.
- Prime Minister Winston Churchill announces that the UK has an atomic bomb.
- Reunion gets 73 inches of rainfall in one day. Interestingly enough, in 2018 Hawaii got 50 inches in one day, breaking the national record, but this article indicated that the world record was 72 inches in Reunion, but in 1966.
- U.S. Senate actually ratifies a peace treaty...with Japan.
- Werner von Braun publishes articles for crewed flights to Mars and the Moon.
- B-52 superfortress flies for the time.
- First Miss Universe, Armi Kuusela from Finland.
- Summer Olympics in Helsinki, Finland
- Argentine First Lady Eva Peron dies of cancer at the age of 33.
- Kitty Wells is the first woman to have a #1 hit, It wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels.
- First open-heart surgery at the University of Minnesota.
- Agatha Christie's The Moustrap opens in London, and is still running.
- The great smog of London.
- U.S. detonates the first H-Bomb at Eniwetok Atoll in the Marshall Islands, a yield of 10.4 megatons.
The hit songs of 1952 in 10 minutes. #1 for the year was Leroy Anderson's Blue Tango.
It's Sunday, so here is why God made a dog:
