...thousands of mosquitoes and all but wipe out a local population. The style of trap varies by brand, but generally they range from indoor units the size of air purifiers to large units that resemble barbecue grills. Some run on electricity, while others are powered by propane tanks. You can easily reduce the number of mosquitoes on your property with a plastic bottle trap that will attract and kill the mosquitoes. The liquid in each trap will last about two weeks, and then, it can be easily replaced. For increased effectiveness, place multiple traps around your house or property. Procedure Used Get a large 2 liter Coke/Pepsi/Fanta, etc plastic soda bottle. This is the kind that takes a couple of hands to hold onto. Empty the bottle by drinking or draining. Take the cap off and throw away. Just below the point where the neck of the bottle straightens out onto the body of the bottle, cut it across. So now you have a funnel and a cylinder. Invert the funnel into the cylinder. It should fit snugly. A piece of tape will seal it, but may not be necessary. Fill about 1/3 of the cylinder part with a mixture of dry yeast, warm water, and honey (or sugar). Use about 1 Tablespoon of yeast (This is about 1 package of yeast bought at the local grocery and often used to make...

...We need to stop and think before we open the bottle and drink. Plastic water bottles and plastic in general, is destroying our environment. Here are some simple facts to help you see my point. In 2012 32 million tons of plastic waste was generated in the U.S., and that represents close to 13 percent of the total MSW (municipal solid waste) (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 2014). Out of the 32 million tons of plastic waste that was created in 2012 only 9% was recycled (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 2014). Every year, about 100 billion tons of plastic are produced all over the world, less than 9% is recycled (REUSEIT, 2014). Plastic water bottles are lightweight, this makes them preferred over glass or aluminum bottles. Although, the weight difference may be only a couple of grams, it makes them easier to carry (PlasticsEurope, 2014). Because of the weight difference between plastic and glass or aluminum, plastic bottles are less expensive to transport. This saves us some natural resources and cuts down on gas emissions from the transporting vehicle (PlasticsEurope, 2014). Another benefit that manufactures’ get from using plastic bottle is clarity. The bottle is clear and this allows the end user to see any impurities that might be in the water and this acts as an assurance that the water is uncontaminated, even if it is (PlasticsEurope, 2014). Unlike glass bottles, plastic water bottles won’t shatter and this makes them safer to use because they won’t produce...

...Mix/Product Modification Product modification will be done because of the cultural background in Asia. The bottle of our product will change from a big mouth spout to a smaller mouth. This will be done because the mouth size of most Asians are smaller than Americans and other ethnicity; however, the color of the bottle will be more of ASEAN color opposed to American colors. 2 and 1 Health Nutritional store will change the color of our bottles to red only to accommodate the countries associated with our product. There will be more of a taste to our product by adding more soluble tablets to enhance the flavor of our product. While on our venture the team discovered that Asians like flavor over any other country. With that being said, we felt taste was an issue as it relates to our product. Since most Asians are smaller bodied people it only made since to change the size of the bottles as well. 2 and 1 Health Store currently has 12, 14, and a 16 ounce bottle. As it relates to bottle size we will not change the sizes we currently sell; however, we will add an additional size, so that the bottle will be light weight. Before the opening of our store 2 and 1 will have a smaller bottle to offer Asians. The new size will be a 6 ounce bottle to accommodate most of the people that do not want as much weight to carry around. The design of our bottles and the taste will be marketed at our stores. 2 and 1 has located a designer company as well as a consultation company...

...Bottled Water There are many different kinds of bottled waters for sale in this modern day. Some bottled waters are carbonated, flavored, or have added chemicals for cleaning purposes. A twenty ounce bottle of water cost’s around one or two dollars. In reference to the water bill from my parent’s house in the town of Chesaning which is in Saginaw County the cost of water is three dollars and thirty cents for one thousand gallons of municipal water (Ebenhoeh D). Not only do bottled water companies use up the earth’s water supply, they use massive amounts of plastic, and the water they sell that is supposedly cleaner and more healthy than tap water, is less healthy and has more contaminants than tap water. Bottled water is no cleaner than municipal water. In the United States bottled standards are set and regulated by the Food and Drug Administration. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) standards for cleanliness are not as high as the regulations set for city or municipal water set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). According to Lauren Posnick of the FDA, bottled water can have up to two hundred and fifty parts per million of dissolved solids and still be clean enough to sell (Posnick). Drinking water that comes through the tap is monitored through the Environmental Protection Agency, also known as the EPA. The EPA standards for water are much higher and much more thorough than the FDA. According to the EPA the FDA allows up to two hundred and fifty...

Name of the President: Mr. Sanjiv Gupta Telephone: 02694 84386 / 87 / 77585 Website: http://www.coca-colaindia.com History Birth of a Refreshing Idea John Styth Pemberton first introduced the refreshing taste of Coca – Cola in Atlanta, Georgia. It was of 1886 when the pharmacist concocted a caramel – colored syrup in a three – legged brass kettle in his backyard. He first “distributed” the new product by carrying Coca – Cola in a jug down the street to Jacobs Pharmacy. For five cents, consumers could enjoy a glass of Coca – Cola at the soda fountain. Whether by design or accident, carbonated water was proclaimed “Delicious & Refreshing” Dr. Pemberton’s partner & bookkeeper, Frank M. Robinson suggested the name & panned “Coca – Cola” in the unique flowing script that is famous worldwide today. Mr. Robinson thought ‘the two C’s would look well in advertising. In 1886 sales of Coca – Cola averages nine drinks per day. The first, Dr. Pemberton sold 25 gallon of syrup, shipped in bright red wooden kegs. Red has been a distinctive color associated with the no. 1 soft drink brand ever since. By 1891, Atlanta entrepreneur Asa G. Candler had acquired complete ownership of Coca – Cola business. Within four years, his merchandising flair helped expand consumption...

...Reader Response What I liked about this book was the short, easily readable chapters that were direct and to the point. I appreciated that Dr. Nicolai related to everyday life all his health rules and gave examples of how he works these rituals into his own life – from walking the dog to eating the anti-inflammatory diet to giving himself one day off a week to indulge. This is realistic and not totally life encompassing and strict. I also appreciated that for the most part these changes aren’t huge alterations that I would need to make in my life but very simple tweaks – listening to a good book in the car instead of the mindless radio, switching from my usual coffee to tea or changing my usual cardio based work out with an every other day strength training routine. There were a few things that I did dislike about the book. The first is that at times I felt like I was in the middle of a sales pitch. I know he works for Miraval Resort and Spa and he believes that coming to the location will be beneficial as a health and wellness detox but a quick web search I find that it’s upwards of $600 a night for one guest. That is completely unattainable for me as a student and probably as a professional someday. However, I did feel like I can gain the same health and wellness by his usual life examples at to be done at home. He’s obviously a well off family man who lives in a beautiful area of the country and lives a seemingly life of perfection. Of course he can practice all...

...The Water Bottle Industry Markets Water is something that anyone around the world could get from the tap for free, but now it is all the rage for the beverage industry. Bottled water has become the industry's fastest growing segment, both in volume and profits. Due to the consumer's needs and wants for a healthier lifestyle, the beverage industry provides a necessary product to the consumers, which is bottled water. Water is essential and with the demand to participate in a healthy lifestyle, the water industry will be successfully profitable. The market size for this industry has been growing and will continue to grow in a rapid pace. Over the past ten years, bottled water has moved from being the preserve of a relatively small market into the U.S. mainstream, with sales of about $7.5 billion, and that's only for water in bottles of 1.5 liters or less (Durr). According to the International Bottle Water Association, Americans spend $5.6 billion in 2000 on bottled water. By 2005, Americans will consume 7.2 billion gallons of bottled water, up from about 5 billion gallons in 2000, the association reported. A factor that will continue to drive the bottled water market is foremost the desire to live a healthy lifestyle. Which leads to the concerns of contaminants found in the tap water. People will pay high prices for water, just to be ensured that it is safe to drink the water that they purchased. Drinking lots of water also prevents dehydration. According to the Bottled...

...Chapter 1 Group D Introduction Tea is an beverage originated in China. After water, it is the most widely consumed drink in the world. It is commonly prepared by pouring hot or boiling water into a cup with cured leaves of Camellia Sinensis. It is an evergreen shrub or a small tree that is usually trimmed to below 2 m (6.6 ft.) when cultivated for its leaves. The flowers are yellow-white in color, 2.5-4 cm (0.98-1.6) in diameter, with 7 to 8 petals. It also has a strong taproot. This kind of plant is native to mainland China, South And Southeast Asia but now, it can be found across the world in tropical and subtropical regions. Tea drinking can be traced back to the 10th Century BC in China before it was spread to Korea an Japan. Basically, tea is made by brewing tea leaves to create an extract. Due to the chlorophylls and other pigments the leaves contain, the extract commonly appears with a brown color. Ink is a liquid or paste that contains pigments or dyes and is used to color a surface to produce an image, text, or design. Ink is used for drawing or writing with a pen, brush, or quill. Thicker inks, in paste form, are used extensively in letterpress and lithographic printing. Ink can be a complex medium, composed of solvents, pigments, dyes, resins, lubricants, solubilizers, surfactants, particulate matter,fluorescents, and other materials. The components of inks serve many purposes; the ink’s carrier, colorants, and other additives affect the flow and thickness...

...future of our environment. Central Idea: We as a society have the capability to change the future of our environment. Introduction I. After spending a hot day running errands you think, I could really use something to quench my thirst. A. You may grab a can of soda or a bottle of water and 10 or 15 minutes later on the way past the trash you toss it in. B. Many of us do this on a daily basis without even thinking about where all that trash goes. II. We bag up the garbage, sit it on the curb, and the trash man comes to haul it all off to the landfill. A. According to the U.S. National Park Service the soda can you throw away can take 80-200 years to degrade in the landfill, or 450 years for a plastic bottle (Garbage). B. If we recycle that one can we can save “enough energy to keep a 100-watt bulb burning for almost four hours or run your television for three hours”(Cummings). III. We as consumers have the capability of altering our habits and influencing the outcome of our planet for years to come. Transition: I know many of us have thought about recycling, but we don’t take the initiative to do it consistently. Body I. I’d like to first have everyone consider the effects not recycling may have on our environment. A. With recycling we can conserve natural resources such as water, timber, and minerals. 1. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency or EPA, “In 2009, Americans produced about 243 million tons of waste...

...Brandon Alt Eng 112-12 Barbara North May 30, 2012 Trash Why are there so many landfills in America? It is because the amount of trash that the people put out is too high. All of this trash that we put out is adding up into our landfills, end up being burned, or even flow out into our oceans. Since most things that you put out into our trash are not biodegradable, these landfills will continue to grow and grow over time. Such things will have a negative impact on the environment. Though you can’t see the impact of it now, it’s going to hit us like a ton of bricks in the future. We can help avoid this fate by simply eating less food, recycling more and to use more biodegradable packaging. There are many ways that we can reduce the amount of trash we produce as people. One main way is to eat less food. In this day and age not much food is sold without some sort of paper or plastic packaging covering the item. If you just lower the amount of food we eat we can drastically lower the amount of trash produced as a whole and lower our weight leading to healthier life styles. Based on values in 2001 the USA produced 409,029,000 tons of trash. In the same year there was a population of 286,345,000. This equates to roughly 1.43 tons per person, that’s 2860 pounds of trash per person. Now how to distinguish between trash from people vs. the trash produced by factories and other large companies is hard. Of these 409,029,000 tons of trash only 32 percent was recycled, leaving behind...

...LITERATURE REVIEW http://suite101.com/article/xeno-estrogens-in-water-bottles-disrupting-male-and-female-hormon-a232123 A new study from Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) researchers found that participants who drank for a week from polycarbonate bottles -- the popular, hard-plastic drinking bottles and baby bottles -- showed a two-thirds increase in their urine of the chemical bisphenol A (BPA). Exposure to BPA, used in the manufacture of polycarbonate and other plastics, has been shown to interfere with reproductive development in animals and has been linked with cardiovascular disease and diabetes in humans. The study is the first to show that drinking from polycarbonate bottles increased the level of urinary BPA, and thus suggests that drinking containers made with BPA release the chemical into the liquid that people drink in sufficient amounts to increase the level of BPA excreted in human urine. In addition to polycarbonate bottles, which are refillable and a popular container among students, campers and others and are also used as baby bottles, BPA is also found in dentistry composites and sealants and in the lining of aluminum food and beverage cans. (In bottles, polycarbonate can be identified by the recycling number 7.) Numerous studies have shown that it acts as an endocrine-disruptor in animals, including early onset of sexual maturation, altered development and tissue organization of the mammary gland and decreased sperm production in offspring. It may...
