Market Research To better understand and identify our target market, we conducted market tests by approaching 120 female working adults. These women are aged between the ages of 25-35, and were either executives or in managerial positions, have a monthly income of more than $2000 a month. Make-up is important to them as they need to be presentable at work. Therefore, they spend average of $150 on cosmetics product monthly. We asked them to evaluate and improve Goddess. Most of the women liked that Goddess was personalized and how it made putting on make-up an enjoyable experience. Most of them were also willing to pay an average of $900 for Goddess, if it were endorsed by cosmetic professionals. However, some issues they raised against this product were the accuracy of the skin tone test...

...Demand Quantification for Fuel Requirements, Energy Source, Conversion Technology and Siting, and Powerplant Design in the Province of Iloilo Design Paper by Gino P. Jardinico BS Mechanical Engineering Student: 2011-15731 Submitted to the Department of Mechanical Engineering College of Engineering University of the Philippines In Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements of ME 188 Power Plant Engineering Department of Mechanical Engineering College of Engineering University of the Philippines Diliman Quezon City December 2015 ii Abstract The study is aimed (1) to quantify the demand for fuel requirements and powerplant capacity in the province of Iloilo for the next 30 years, and (2) prioritize the energy sources, conversion technologies and powerplant sites available in the province. Electricity consumption from the five sectors (residential, commercial, transportation, industrial, and agricultural) were calculated using different models and assumptions. These values were projected to the year 2045 in order to predict the total electricity demand on the daily, weekly, monthly and yearly bases. There is an average of 262.28 MW demand from the computed consumptions which was translated to fuel requirements considering the existing, upcoming, decommissioning, and the reserve. A total of 284.77 MW plant capacity was calculated for 2045. Assuming that bituminous coal will be used as the main fuel for running a Coal-fired powerplant in the future, a fuel requirement of 12.25...

...Bubble Trubble Marketing Plan Executive Summary We created this store, ‘Bubble Trubble’ to provide a product to the students of North Park Secondary School that they would usually only get outside of the school. Our store that we want to create will provide the students with Bubble Tea, a nutritious drink that students usually would get only outside the school at places like the mall. Some students don’t have the time to go to the mall at lunch but still want to have this drink so we plan to provide them with it for a profit. We will be recruiting people to work at our store during 3rd and 4th lunches at the school. They will be making and serving the Bubble Tea to the students at lunch time. We will be serving our product to the students of the school. Our product will be sold at a reasonable price that will appeal to the students so that they will be willing and able to buy our product. This store is being created so we can sell a product for a profit. We will be providing the students of the school with a nutritious drink that is tasty and is not sold anywhere close to the school. Many students want a drink with their lunch that isn’t a soda from the cafeteria or vending machines, and their only other option is milk or water, and many don’t like that either. So we have decided to bring in Bubble Tea, something that is healthy and tastes good so that all the students that don’t want the other drinks that are severed in the servery. We will have popular flavours so that...

...Dear nutrition student, Thank you for inquiring about my RD/DTR study guide. And yes, there is no catch, the study guide is COMPLETELY FREE! All I ask for is some feedback. So feel free to shoot me any questions/comments! A little background: This study guide is the culmination of years of my own research. And after careful thought, I put into the study guide what I feel are the most important concepts you need to know for the RD/DTR exam. If you notice, I spent much time teaching you in detail the concepts you need to know, not just “spitting” you questions with little or no explanation. I believe this is important. I know you might be thinking “oh, how am I going to absorb and learn all this material?” I say, just read and answer the questions at your own pace. Simply test yourself and of course take some breaks along the way. Just take it one concept at a time. After you have mastered one concept, then move on to the next. I know if you study whole-heartedly what I have outlined in this study guide, you are sure to pass! GOOD LUCK!
