I was once riding dirtbikes with my friends and we got a gun pulled on us. We were really scared. So we turned the bikes around as fast as we could. I was riding with my best friends Mitchel and Mathew. At first we were at mitchel and Mathews house. So we decided to go for a little dirt bike ride. When we took off Mathew noticed that his bike was smoking. So he thought maybe we can ride with no problems. But that was not true, the bike started sputtering so we turned around, and thats when it all started. After we turned around and we seen a truck coming towards us so we slowly turned off the road. After we got onto the dirt the truck turned in front of us. So then we thought ‘oh its just somebody messing with us’. But we were wrong. One of the d.

...The Children of God (COG) was started in 1968 in Huntington Beach, California, USA. Many early converts were drawn from the hippie era and Jesus Movement of the late 1960s and early 1970s. The group later changed its name to the Family of Love, The Family and recently The Family International. It has also used a significant number pseudonyms and front organizations for its activities. After a number of image makeovers, The Family International now refers to itself as a church, and prefers to be known as a wholesome, family-values New Religious Movement (NRM), albeit with alternative views and counter culture. It is however, still widely referred to as a cult in the media, often as the free-love sex cult or The Family Cult. The Children of God created controversy with its ideas of apocalypticism and revolution against the outside world that they call "the System," along with its central tenet that true disciples must drop out and "forsake all." Forsaking all literally entails abandoning all responsibilities and cutting ties with any and all—job, school, family, friends, and selling all that they have, handing over the entire proceeds to the group. Disciples assume a new biblical name and identity—true legal names are often kept a secret even from each other. Like deep cover role play without any possibility of debriefing, some members who joined as teenagers in the late 60s are still incognito today. In 1974 the group launched a new form of so-called evangelism called Flirty...

...Introduction It was a cold morning in February 2013. Jesper Møller, the CEO of Toms Confectionery Group, was looking down at the frozen fountain in the courtyard by Toms’ headquarters outside Copenhagen. Designed in 1962 by the famous Danish architect Arne Jacobsen, the headquarters, like the company, was an iconic piece of Danish history. For decades, Toms had been a Danish household name and local market leader within the confectionery industry. Today, however, it was time to look ahead. Toms, like most other companies, had gone through the financial crisis with a solid focus on the cost base. However, as a small player in the global confectionery industry, the company could only go so far with cost cutting alone. Instead, Toms needed to make a thorough analysis to capture the opportunities that lay ahead. That morning, Møller had called together his management team to discuss Toms’ fiveyear strategy for the chocolate confectionery business under the following headline: In the spring of 2012, Toms took a significant step forward by acquiring the German chocolate company Hanseatische Chocolade GmbH. Overnight, Toms added sales of 360 million Danish kroner. However, the management team agreed that this was only the first step in Toms’ path. As Møller and the management team watched the day’s first truckload of cocoa beans approach the factory loading dock, they began reflecting on the past, present and future of Toms as a chocolate confectionery company. How should Toms...

...THE CHOCOLATE CONFECTIONARY - WORLD MARKET OVERVIEW Chocolates began during the times of the Mayas and the Aztecs when they beat cocoa into a pulp and made bitter frothy chocolate out of it. They first became popular in Europe in a highly unrefined form. Then the Hershey Food Company was the first to bring out chocolates in the currently popular solid form. The main ingredients of chocolate is cocoa grown mainly on equatorial zones and of the consumers looks for variety he goes in for some of that company’s own sugar milk solids and permitted emulsifiers. Cocoa constitutes nearly 40% of the total raw material cost. The following report studies the chocolate industry in India and in particular the position of the chocolate premium brand & local brand. The brand name chosen is the umbrella brand as it was felt that the corporate name is recognized as a brand and not so much as an individual products. Asia, Africa and Latin America account for 75% of the world’s population, and yet consume just 20% of the world’s cocoa. The potential in Asia is undoubtedly great. Currently, some ___ billion consumers account for just 8% of global consumption. As a result, even a slight increase in per capita consumption would equate to a large expansion in demand for cocoa. The countries with the highest growth potential must be China and India. Between them, the two countries have a combined population in excess of 2.2 billion — and this is expected to reach almost 2.5 billion by 2005. With economic...
