...AN ADVERTISING PLAN FOR by Brian Catbagan, Jen Jue, Gerardo Payno, Lian Reyes, Michael Tiu SUBMITTED TO Mrs. Tessa Jazmines OCTOBER 5, 2010 IN PARTIAL FULLFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR Journalism 151 College of Mass Communications University of the Philippines, Diliman 1|Page MILKSTAR: EVERYDAY FRESHNESS CATBAGAN. JUE. PAYNO.REYES.TIU. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY MILKSTAR Goat’s Milk is a fairly young product in the Php39B drinking milk market. Entering the field on January 2010, their milk is produced in the Alaminos Goat Farm located in Alaminos, Laguna. MILKSTAR uses the best breed of goats for their milk production and feeds them with the healthiest and greenest foods. The meticulous attention given by the Almeda family to their goats is the main reason why MILKSTAR can claim to be the healthiest, safest, and most beneficial variant of milk that tastes great too! With a great product such as MILKSTAR Goat’s Milk, it should also follow that the consumers will patronize their product. Variants such as strawberry and chocolate flavours even cater to the tastes of the younger demographic. However, with competitors such as Nestlé, Magnolia, Cowhead, and Alaska (among others) that can bank on big budgets and accessible advertising channels to grab the market, it has become increasingly difficult for MILKSTAR to catch the attention of its target market. Goat’s milk is one of the more beneficial variants of milk, providing various essential vitamins and minerals (such as protein...

...__________________________________________________________________________________________ LONDON VICTORIA STATION an analysis of the spatial complexity of the railway concourse. SHRUTI S SHETTY Advanced Architectural Studies University College London, UK. ABSTRACT With the development of the railways, the identity of the railway concourse has changed over the last century. The design of railways stations is one of the most challenging practices and the concourse design must provide for large fluid spaces to facilitate rapid movement. In addition to these, the modern station demands much more from a railway concourse. The National Rail has chalked out the key requirements for every station with Security, Information, Navigation and Facilities as one of the few Basic needs followed by Higher-level needs such as Retail and Catering. In the life of all cities, the railway station plays an important role in the day-to-day life of its citizens and thereby a constant effort has been made to keep up with increasing requirements of the concourse yet maintaining the fluidity of spaces. This report discusses the effect of a concourse layout and its relation with the urban context on the process of ‘navigation’ and ‘way finding’ in the system. Another aspect of railways stations is the way it fits into the urban system which determines the nature of the concourse and the way people interact with the space. Liverpool street station gives an impression of it being an enclosed...

Porter’s model is used for this purpose. Saudi Arabia, a leading producer of oil, is also the largest worldwide producer of a number of petrochemical products. Competitiveness in the global market demands an examination of comparative advantages and is the reason why Saudi Arabia is yet to succeed in the global market. This paper is an attempt to analyse the industry and to provide strategic alternatives. Keywords: petrochemical; Porter; Saudi Arabia; strategy.

...Science Daily Using Less Water to Grow More Potatoes ScienceDaily (Sep. 1, 2011) — Research conducted in part at the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has confirmed that in some production systems, planting potatoes in flat beds can increase irrigation water use efficiency. Agricultural Research Service (ARS) agricultural engineer Bradley King, who works at the ARS Northwest Irrigation and Soils Research Laboratory in Kimberly, Idaho, was one of the scientists who led these studies. ARS is USDA's chief intramural scientific research agency, and this research supports the USDA commitment to enhancing sustainable agriculture. When potato production started in Idaho more than 100 years ago, farmers seeded their crops in ridged rows and watered their plants by channeling surface irrigation to flow through the furrows between the rows. Even though most commercial potato producers in the Pacific Northwest now irrigate their crops with sprinklers, they still typically use ridged-row planting systems. But this planting configuration allows irrigation runoff to collect in the furrow and percolate below the crop root zone. This means that the water is unavailable to the crops, and can also lead to increased nitrate leaching from the soil. King and his partners conducted a series of studies on planting potatoes in flat beds instead of ridged rows. One two-year study compared ridge-row planting systems, a 5-row planting configuration on a raised bed where the plant rows were 26...

...Pharmacogenomics 1.Introduction: Genomics: The study of genes and their function. Genomics aims to understand the structure of the genome, including the mapping genes and sequencing the DNA. Genomics examines the molecular mechanisms and the interplay of genetic and environmental factors in disease. It is used to determine the entire DNA sequence of an organisms and a fine scale genetic mapping. The field also includes study of intra genomic phenomena such as Hetrosis, Epistasis, Pleiotropy and other interactions between loci and alleles within the genome. 2.History: The term genome was introduced by H. Winkler in 1920 to denote the complete set of chromosomal and extra chromosomal genes present in an organism, including a virus. This term is used in the same sense even today. The term genomics was coined by T.H. Roderick sometime in 1987 mean mapping and sequencing to analyze the structure and organization of genomes. But today genomics includes sequencing of genomes, determination of the complete set of proteins encoded by an organism, and the functioning of genes and metabolic pathways in an organism. Thus genomics not only deals with the determination of the genetic information present in an organism, but also with the understanding the mechanism by which this information is used by the organism. A major branch of genomics is still concerned with sequencing the...
