... Carrots The carrot (Daucus carota subsp. sativus, Etymology: from Late Latin carōta, from Greek καρότον karōton, originally from the Indo-European root ker- (horn), due to its horn-like shape) is a root vegetable, usually orange in colour, though purple, red, white, and yellow varieties exist. It has a crisp texture when fresh. The most commonly eaten part of a carrot is a taproot, although the greens are edible as well. It is a domesticated form of the wild carrot Daucus carota, native to Europe and southwestern Asia. The domestic carrot has been selectively bred for its greatly enlarged and more palatable, less woody-textured edible taproot. It is a biennial plant which grows a rosette of leaves in the spring and summer, while building up the stout taproot, which stores large amounts of sugars for the plant to flower in the second year. The flowering stem grows to about 1 metre (3 ft) tall, with an umbel of white flowers that produce a fruit called a mericarp by botanists, which is a type of schizocarp. Methods of consumption and Uses Carrots can be eaten in a variety of ways. Only 3% of the β-carotene in raw carrots is released during digestion: this can be improved to 39% by pulping, cooking and adding cooking...

...The Reason Why I Started To Eat Carrots It is Sunday afternoon; I’m hungry and I can’t take off my mind the carrot cake that I eat each year on my birthday. I’m gazing at the splendid vista that my huge picture window offers. It is winter now, and as far I can see, there is no green anywhere in the woods, only the desolate gray that is scattered among the crunchy branches, the dead frozen grass that doesn’t lure the deer to come by and say hi to the window. But here I am, the time is passing, and I have the feeling of being part of a movie playing in slow motion, one that shows my life passing by in front of my eyes, and I can’t touch it. Walking with my head down, suddenly, a sparkle of light on the ground calls my attention; it is a distortion of the sun that deceives me with a fractured hint of a gem that becomes the most important thing to me for the next three seconds. It is a leaf. Here is when the shining leaf took me back to a big moment, that moment in the past that everyone remembers once in a while. Those memories that transport us back to times of happiness. The shining leaf I had rescued has the same brown glazed color of a carrot cake. Those memories are ‘messing’ in my head, just to cause my emotions to emerge. Was this weird or just coincidence? The golden brown color in a carrot cake is the only thing I can think about right now. Yeah, life gives surprises and on this occasion it gives me a trip to the past. I was just five years old. The memories come back...

...* Consider the challenges Tessera faced in commercializing its chip scale packaging technology. What alternative did it have for monetizing these inventions? Were there alternative business models that might have been practical for it to pursue? Tessera’s basic licensing model was to try to maintain carrot licensing and obtain royalties, but switch to stick licensing and ensure the protection of the firm’s rights at a maturity phase of the life cycle of the licensing program, as the licensees begin to gain the capabilities of manufacturing the particular technology and to share the related know-how. The challenges to Tessera’s conventional monetizing majorly came from two changes. First, the case of NTP v. RIM and that of eBay v. MercExchange dramatically increased the failure of injunctions. Second, even though global emerging markets such as China gained manufacturing capabilities, these countries had insufficient infrastructures for intellectual property enforcement. Both of the changes increased infringers who practically would hardly lose their profits, leaving those who keep the IP contracts unfair. One straightforward alternative was to keep innovating ahead of licensees to ensure the competitive advantage. But usually Tessera focused on new packaging development and aggregation of complimentary patents to bargain the otherwise decreasing price. Tessera might have developed more diversified service models by training the employees to understand...

...lunchtime. They were hungry. They asked their mom if they could have lunch, and she said, "Why don't you have a picnic in the yard"? That sounded like a great idea, but WHERE in the yard? So Mom told them to lay a picnic cloth in the green grassy grass near the scruffy old juniper bushes. While they were doing that, she would make some celery sticks, carrot sticks, and some yummy peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. When the kids had spread out the picnic blanket, they ran into the kitchen and asked if lunch was ready. Mom told them to take the carrot sticks and plates out to the blanket, and to take their drinks also. So Thomas, Kathy and Carrie took these things out to the blanket and arranged them carefully. Then they ran as fast as they could, huffing and puffing, back to the kitchen and said to Mom, "What else have you made so far"? So she said, "I've got your celery sticks cut up for you now – run these out to your picnic blanket." So out ran the three kids as fast as they could go to add these to the carrots on their plates. But when they got to the blanket, something was wrong. Where were the carrot sticks? They were all gone! "This must be a trick," said Kathy. "Let's leave the...

...Excellent Customer Service at Your Restaurant As a restaurant owner, great customer service is essential to your success. How do you deliver excellent customer service at your restaurant? First, let’s define it: customer service is the assistance and advice you provide to your diners. Customer service is equal parts communication and genuine attention to your diners. (tweet this) When guests visit your restaurant, you want them to feel welcome. When you treat them with care and respect while providing an excellent meal, they’ll come back to your restaurant again and again. Satisfied customers are integral to your business model. According to a Harvard Business School study on Starbucks, customer satisfaction has a massive impact on your revenue. Regarding Starbucks, they found that the satisfied customer visits 4.3 times per month, spends $4.06 and is a customer for 4.4 years. They went on to find that thehighly satisfied customer visits 7.2 times per month, spends $4.42 and is a customer for 8.3 years. That’s great, but what happens when you have a dissatisfied customer? In a Customer Experience Report, researchers found that the #1 reason customers abandon a brand is due to poor quality and rude customer service. These items were cited 18% more often than slow or untimely service. Combined, these two studies describe the importance of excellent customer service. They suggest that great customer service can make or break your restaurant. So, in this blog post, we’re going...

...English 1301 Fascination The line was long and crowded; the countless energized bodies seemed to snake around pylon after pylon with out an end in sight. You could see bobbing heads moving left to right moving opposite of the person in front and everyone hoping to see the end, the end to the tiresome wait. You could see children of all ages some playing with hand held video games others hearing music, their parents and single adults contained their excitement in meaningless conversations. But still slight half step movements would trickle down the line, the wait reminded me of the countless times I would spend as a child waiting to cross the bridge from Juarez to El Paso after a family gathering. The only difference was there was no smell of hot burning motor oil and no fumes of poisonous carbon dioxide gas emitting from old Chevys and Fords. Finally, the moment my family and I so diligently and patiently awaited for, the door, our finish line. I clearly remember the eight-foot squeaky double doors, which had a lustrous shine; the glass had a mirror fish that even Superman could not penetrate with his x-ray vision, were at our reach. As we entered with heart pounding excitement the type of excitement you feel as you drop from long never ending rollercoaster, I gasp not knowing what I would face next. As I entered my excitement was squashed as I immediately saw the one line fork into 5 other endless lines with the same people from the previous room now scattered throughout...

...What is Courtship before? Compare now, courtship before was very formal. Man cannot visit the lady without parents consent or if the ladies parent specially the father don’t like the man the father sit beside his daughter. Never the lady stay somewhere while not yet married. They only stay home and talk inside. Compare Courtship now and before. The courtship before and now has big difference. Before, when a man like a girl the boy goes to the girls’ house and talk to the parents of the one they love to ask for permission to visit their daughter. Or sometimes the boy make “harana” to the girl they loved. Opposite now, sometimes the lady/girl first show motives to the man. They talk anywhere, never know the parents that their children is committed to somebody. What can you say about courtship now and courtship before? For me, the style of courtship before is better than today because before, courtship has high standard though parents are much selfish because they don’t give their children a freedom to choose the one they really love. Courtship now has low standard, low standard because nowadays people loves to do it through text or anywhere. The boys didn’t go to the girls house to owe the girl they love as a sign of their sincerity and respect to the girl and her parents. Do you think marriage now is different from this generation? Marriage now is very different compare before, now the parents just follow on the agreement of their children on how they want...

...adapt to changing market trends to be successful. McDonald’s strategy is to increase its presence worldwide, and continue to enhance its revenue while expanding into different market segments. Changing cultural values and social forces are compelling McDonald’s to be innovative and explore different markets (Viskovich, 2009, para 6). McDonald’s now has a healthier menu, adding breakfast oatmeal, appealing to a whole new demographic. Most recently, McDonald’s launched a McCafe campaign offering comparable flavors of specialty coffees to Starbucks, but at a much lower price. The Carrot-Orange Smoothie will add to the goal of expanding into different market segments and will market very similar to the new product lines. It will be very important to reach the health conscious consumer. To promote health, each oatmeal package will include a sticker coupon good for $1.00 off the price of the Carrot-Orange Smoothie. The coupon will have an expiration date two weeks from the date of purchase. This markets to the health conscious consumer that prefers oatmeal over a biscuit, therefore they will most likely prefer the veggie smoothie over an ice cream treat. This marketing strategy will continue at McDonald’s 60 days after the introduction of the veggie smoothie, allowing time for all to enjoy several before they are charged full price. McDonald’s has been in the news heavily regarding the toys in their Happy Meals for children. A lawsuit filed on behalf of a...

...By LAWRENCE WRIGHT John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Read the Review TWO LIVES-- ONE PERSONALITY? A pair of identical twin girls were surrendered to an adoption agency in New York City in the late 1960s. The twins, who are known in psychological literature as Amy and Beth, might have gone through life in obscurity had they not come to the attention of Dr. Peter Neubauer, a prominent psychiatrist at New York University's Psychoanalytic Institute and a director of the Freud Archives. Neubauer believed at the time that twins posed such a burden to parents, and to themselves in the form of certain developmental hazards, that adopted twins were better off being raised separately, with no knowledge of their twinship. Neubauer also recognized the exceptional research possibilities such a separation offered. Studies of twins reared apart are one of the most powerful tools that scholars have to analyze the relative contributions of heredity and environment to the makeup of individual human natures. Identical twins are rare, however, and twins who have been separated and brought up in different families are particularly unusual. Neubauer was aware of a mere handful of studies examining twins reared apart, and in most cases the twins being studied had been separated for only part of their childhoods and were reunited at some point long before the study began. Here was an opportunity to look at twins from the moment they were separated, and to trace them through childhood, observing at each...

...daily intake of fruits and vegetables. Therefore it is of importance to produce fruit and vegetables with appealing properties. Important functional properties of fruits and vegetables are texture and rheology. During ripening, storage and processing chemical modifications of the cell wall appear, resulting in a changed texture and rheology (K. Houben, Jolie, R., Fraye, I., van Loey, A. and Hendrickx, 2011). It is intriguing to know how these modifications find place and be able to prevent them. To gain a better perspective about those modifications the cell wall model should be fully understood. This research is aiming to reveal how polysaccharides in the carrot cell wall interact with each other. The used approach in this research is extraction with cross-link cleaving agents. . THE CARROT CELL WALL The structure of the carrot cell wall is very complex, the cell wall modifies to accommodate to environmental conditions and developmental stages...
