...A01-06-0012 Graeme Rankine Aussie Pies (A) “Wow, Australians really love their meat pies,” Anna Amphlett said to Andrew Ferris as they sat at the Melbourne Cricket Ground watching the Australian Football League (AFL) Grand Final between the Sydney Swans and the West Coast Eagles. “I’ve seen people eat three meat pies straight, then wash them down with a full liter of Fosters Lager,” she said as she looked across to see Sydney win the 2005 Premiership with a score of 58-54. According to observers, “Sydney has ended the longest premiership drought in AFL history in the most emotional and heart-stopping fashion imaginable by beating the West Coast Eagles by four points in the most exciting and closest grand final for nearly 40 years.”1 “But it’s not just at footy matches,” Ferris noted, “they eat them all the time, just like we eat hamburgers and hotdogs back in the States.” Ferris thought about the number of pies eaten by the 100,000 people attending the AFL Grand Final. Amphlett and Ferris lived in Seattle, Washington, but were on a vacation to Australia to visit the Great Barrier Reef and attend the Grand Final in Melbourne. “I wonder if Americans might develop a following for the Aussie meat pie,” he said to Anna… “perhaps there’s a business opportunity back home.” Australian Meat Pies The meat pie, a hand-sized pot pie made with pastry and filled with minced (ground) beef and gravy, is consumed as a takeaway food snack in Australia (see Exhibit 1 for an illustration...

...------------------------------------------------- Food Research Project Cheese Origins, history and where it is now found in the world In the ancient eras, during the Greeks and Romans’ time, cheese was an important trade product and was mentioned extensively in the literature of the day (including in Homer’s odyssey, whereby Cyclops Polyphemus’s cave have description on cheese’s production). In the first century AD, The Roman writer Apicius states the steps in cheese production when writing. The Roman word for cheese is caseus, which is derived from the word casein, which means milk protein that is curdled to make cheese. The French word for cheese fromage and Italian is formaggio and Italian word, which come from the Greek word formos which stands for form or mould. Essentially, cheese is produce by curdling fermented milk then removing the liquid that forms which is known as the whey. The curds are generally curdled using rennet; a substance extracted from the stomach of animals such as cows, and salt is used to flavor it. It was unclear when exactly rennet was first used, but there is assumption that it was by the Etruscans, during the fifth and sixth century BC. The Romans were the ones who pioneered the method of cooking curds in cheese making, allowing for longer shelf life, enabling harder cheese to be trade and transport conveniently. The combination of bacteria used to ferment the milk, in combination with kind of milk and particular type of cheese-making method...

...Study Links Long Hours to Increased Errors | Top Abstract Background Method Results Discussion References | Study Links Long Hours to Increased Errors In 2005, the American Nurses Association House of Delegates resolved to disseminate recent research findings on the relationship between work hours, fatigue and errors. Dr. Ann Rogers presented the results of her study “The Working Hours of Hospital Staff Nurses and Patient Safety” published in Health Affairs, July/August 2004. Her study followed 393 registered nurses working over 5,317 shifts. Each nurse tracked hours worked, time of day worked, overtime, days off, sleep/wake patterns, errors and near misses. According to Dr. Rogers, fatigue results in: * Forgetfulness * Slowed reaction time * Diminished decision making * Reduced vigilance * Apathy, lethargy * Impaired communication. Delivery of health care requires higher cognitive functions – judgment, logic, complex decision-making, memory, vigilance, information management and communication skills. Fatigued workers try ineffective solutions to problems and neglect activities deemed non-essential. Sleep research indicates that most people need at 7.5-8 hour of sleep each night. Nurses in the study averaged 6.8 hours of sleep. Long hours, and the impact of competing priorities in personal lives impact getting adequate rest prior to working. In more than half the shifts, nurses were unable to take breaks due to shift demands...

Once it received an order, Dell rapidly built computers to customer specifications and shipped machines directly to the customer.

The paper is based on the data obtained from literature survey and archival sources in the context of the globalization of International Financial Reporting and the adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).Nigeria has embraced IFRS in order to participate in the benefits it offers, including attracting foreign direct investment, reduction of the cost of doing business, and cross border listing. In implementing IFRS Nigeria will face challenges including the development of a legal and regulatory framework, awareness campaign, and training of personnel. Recommendations were made to forestall such challenges which include strengthening education and training, establishment of an independent body to monitor and enforce accounting and auditing standards.

...Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION Filipinos are one of the most diligent people around the world. They dedicate a big part of their lives working. They are passionate of their work for their families. Due to long hours of wearing footwear in performing daily activities and routine, many of them tend to acquire fungal foot diseases. These fungal diseases are caused by different types of fungi, including dermatophytes and yeasts which are common in the environment. Most fungi are not dangerous, but some types can be harmful to health. In effect, the person who is affected of it might acquire smelly stinky feet which prompt them to find for some herbal and over-the-counter medicines (www.cdc.gov.com, August 17, 2015). Herbal medicines have been widely used within rural areas as a medicinal alternative to cure fungal infections and skin-causing diseases such as ringworm and athlete’s foot in the past. Nowadays, as technology innovates, new products have been released in the market as an alternative to herbal medicines for fungal infections such as foot powder. Foot powder is a solid substance in the form of fine tiny loose particles containing active agents for topical application in the treatment of fungal infections. This helps regulate the odor of the foot and aids in the healing process of the skin diseases such as athlete’s foot. In order to make the foot powder more effective, it must be made out of eight plants that the Department of Health affirms as scientifically proven to...

En el siguiente escrito se mostraran aquellos pequeños detalles que ayuda a comprender la creación, funcionamiento, objetivos y estructura de esta organización terrorista al Qaeda que ya es toda una red internacional. 10 sep de 1968 Organización Terrorista Al Qaeda Terrorismo Es una forma violenta para enfrentarse, la cual tiene como objetivo la destrucción del orden o la creación de una atmosfera de terror, para así implantar inseguridad en la población o a los contrarios. El terrorismo se constituye así tanto en el ámbito interno como en el mundial, como una vía abierta a todo acto violento, degradante e intimidatorio, y aplicado sin reserva o preocupación moral alguna. Los objetivos marcados por estas organizaciones no convencionales pueden tener fines políticos, religiosos, culturales o simplemente es por la toma del poder por un medio totalmente ilícito. Por dichas causas, el mundo se ve sacudido diariamente con noticias de atentados producidos en la vía pública, donde pierden la vida, gente inocente y totalmente ajena a esa “guerra” o intereses diversos.

Four GLCM parameters, energy, contrast, autocorrelation and entropy, are computed for horizontal (0°), vertical (90°) and diagonal (45 and 135°) cell pair orientations. For the respective DEMs and physiographic features, varying patterns are observed in the plots of the GLCM parameters due to varying surface profiles and the changes that occur over the scales. Due to the smoothing of the terrain during multiscaling, the features have increasing values of energy and entropy, and decreasing values of contrast and entropy, indicating decreasing roughness. Mountains have the highest roughness as compared to the other features over the scales, while basins have the lowest roughness. For each parameter, similar trends...
