...Kate Fox: I recognise your name, but your face escapes me The Journal I didn’t recognise Renee Zellwegger in her most recent photos, but then that’s not unusual for me. I’m so bad at recognising faces that there have been occasions where someone I’ve just met has left the room and I haven’t realised they ware the same person when they come back in a few minutes later. Between our first date and second date my now-husband shaved his beard off but when he mentioned it I said “What beard?”. I can generally manage to recognise the school children I work with by their hairstyles. Uniforms can add a level of challenge though and at the moment the difficulty level has been stepped up in a all girl Muslim school where I run a writing group. The girls wear both uniforms and headscarves. I keep saying that I’m bad with faces and have resorted to getting them to always sit in the same places every week. I am now very used to the hurt expression that comes over somebody’s face when you’ve met them before but fail to recognise them. My rudeness has an actual neurological root though, honest. There’s a condition called “Prosopagnosia” which comes from the Greek word “Proso” meaning face and “Agnosia” meaning to forget, though in my experience, going on about an obscure quirk in which your brain’s facial recognition software is badly wired, doesn’t make them the people you forget feel any better! Faces are such a key marker of our identity that, of course, changing our face changes the way...

...Agent Orange Veterans who served anywhere in Vietnam between January 9th, 1962 and May 7th, 1975 are presumed to have been exposed to Agent Orange. Agent Orange was a powerful mixture of chemical defoliants used by the U.S. military forces during the Vietnam War to eliminate forest cover for North Vietnam and Vietnam troops. It was also used for crops. Agent Orange contained Chemical dioxin, which was the most commonly use of herbicide mixtures and was the most effective. 19 million gallons were sprayed over 4.5 million acres of land from 1961 to 1972. Agent Orange was a disease that affected Veterans who served in Vietnam. Even if you just stepped foot in Vietnam or you served on a ship while it operated on the island waterways of Vietnam you could still get Agent Orange. “Many recognized certain cancers and other health problems with exposure to Agent Orange during military service” (U.S Department of Veterans Affairs). This shows that Agent Orange caused diseases, many diseases. “Agent Orange reviled to cause serious health issues, tumors, birth defects, rashes, psychological symptoms, and cancer among returning U.S servicemen and their families as well as the Vietnamese population” (History.com). This states that Agent Orange was harmful to Vietnam Servicemen and...

...Agent Orange was of many herbicides stored and used in Vietnam. This arsenal of “Rainbow Herbicides” included Agents White, Green, Blue, Purple, and Pink, of which Orange was most lethal. But, Agent Orange’s lethal qualities only remained active from a few days to a week before degrading and becoming non-toxic. But if this was the case, then why was Vietnam affected for decades after the war? The component of Agent Orange that made it toxic, if even for a short amount of time, was dioxin. The most toxic of the dioxins, TCDD, was used in Agent Orange. But unlike Agent Orange, dioxin could last a lot longer in soil, water, and humans; in fact, TCDD could last up to a hundred years in water. But, Agent Orange wasn’t meant to have these capabilities. TCDD was an unintended byproduct of the herbicides and brought disease to...

...Agent Orange and Napalm were types of gases used in Vietnam to cause a great deal of destruction. Agent orange was used as a powerful mixture of chemicals by the Us against Vietnam to eliminate the Vietnamese and the Viet Cong soldiers. The release of Agent Orange was codenamed Operation Ranch Hand.There were more than 19 million gallons used to overed a great amount of land over Vietnam. It caused many health issues to those who breathed in the gas, Americans and Vietnamese. Napalm was also used in the Vietnam war to stop the Vietnamese. Napalm was a mixture of plastic polystyrene, hydrocarbon benzene, and gasoline. Both of these very poisonous and caused a lot of damage during the Vietnam war. From 1961-1972 the U.S. wanted to do a wide-scale damage on the forests in Vietnam where all the Viet Cong and soldiers were to cause damage. For Agent Orange the U.S aircrafts used this to spray the area, affecting the forests and everything in it. Agent Orange had many herbicides in it and many other poisonous components in it, it was highly toxic having affected Vietnam’s crops and water sources so anyone eating or drinking water were affected by the poison. It had caused many health problems such as: muscular dysfunction, birth defects, nervous system disorders, etc. It...

...Hearing the word acid can put a ton of different thoughts, through the mind. One second the thought of acid ran might occur, while a thought of toothpaste runs through the next. This may sound crazy at first, but another thought could even be temperature. Temperature does have a high correlation with acid, and it may even be able to determine how much acid a substance has. As of right now though, let’s think Orange juice. Orange also contains acid, so does storing orange juice at different temperatures, affect its acidity? As the question crosses the mind, multiple educated guesses or hypothesis may have formed. With that being said, before I thought about starting my experiment, I took the time to come up with my hypothesis and the 3 variables. The independent variable is orange juice, the dependent variable is the pH, and the controlled is the orange juice in the storage room. My hypothesis concludes, when the orange juice reaches a low temperature, the acidity will become higher. Of course, now I have to begin to try to test this hypothesis with my experiment....

...White has really cared and trusted Mr. Orange, and even told him his first name, which could jeopardize his own protection. Mr. White whimpers when he realized Mr. Orange, who he thought was his true friend, has betrayed him and could not hold out his overwhelming devastation and cries out loud. Even when Mr. Orange confessed at the end, he sounds as he is truly sorry and feels guilty. He also seems in pain not only because he is physically hurt but also because of the pain he felt for being unfaithful to Mr. White, who trusted him. I feel that Mr. Orange has also developed a deep friendship with Mr. White because after Mr. White protected him from Joe and Eddie, Mr. Orange could have just kept silent till the end but he revealed his true identity because he was truly sorry for violating the trust Mr. White has given him. Even though he had first faked his friendship with Mr. White for the sake of his undercover to succeed, Mr. Orange ended up liking Mr. White and considered him as his real friend. To Mr. Orange, being honest with Mr. White at the end was the last thing he can do to appreciate Mr. White for the trust he has given him and also for saving his life. He continuously says, "I'm sorry" out loud to Mr. White because he feels terrible for deceiving...

...Case Analysis- Orange Inc. Case Analysis- Orange Inc. 2014 ACG5075, Section 11/27/2014 2014 ACG5075, Section 11/27/2014 A. Pricing Strategy Orange’s pricing strategy involves higher volumes as a result of lower profit margins in the ‘lower’ segment. This is shown in the table below where the ‘upper’ segment represents 84% of the total profit and the ‘lower’ segment represents 16% of the total profit. There are pros and cons to their pricing strategy. A pro of the pricing strategy is the increasing sales volume will allow the opportunity to increase customers, and therefore increase market share in the yacht industry. This is under the assumption people will buy. A con of the pricing strategy is Orange is not optimizing their profit. They are also anticipating how customers will react to price changes, which is a risk that may cause an overstock of yachts if customers do not buy. The risk of loss is greater with a higher volume because there is a chance for an increased amount of inventory to go obsolete. B. Benchmarking 1. *Return on equity (ROE): measures the rate of return on the ownership interest of the common stock owners.

...Dayne Hopkins Mkt-251 Feb. 28th Cadbury Beverages, Inc 1. How would you characterize the carbonated soft drink in the United States? The carbonated soft drink in the U.S is the most popular drink of choice by a large margin. In America consumers drink more soda than tap water, at around 47 gallons per person every year and growing. It is not only the most popular but also a large part of the economy, as some of the biggest companies like Pepsico, Coca-Cola, and Dr Pepper/Seven-Up, who are a few of the majorly recognized companies in America, grow off of these sales 2. How would you describe the changes in the orange category during the period 1985 to 1989? What can be learned from these changes? At a glance the orange category seems to have grown in sales by around 20,000,000 cases sold, according to industry sales sold through supermarkets. Also according to market coverage of Orange Category competitors, Crush and Sunkist have decreased the amount of product put out and Mandarin orange slice, and Minute maid orange have both increased significantly by putting their products in markets where more orange drinks are sold. From what I can tell, the more dominant companies have taken over due to more resources and more money to advertise and move product around. 3. What is Cadbury Beverages relative competitive position in the US soft drink industry? In the orange category? In terms of top companies in the beverage world, Cadbury with 11 difference carbonated...

...corporate, business-unit, functional and operational strategy. With reference to these strategy levels, corporate communication strategy is conceptualised as a functional strategy, providing focus and direction to the corporate communication function. Corporate communication strategy is seen to be the outcome of a strategic thinking process by senior communicators and top managers taking strategic decisions with regard to the identification and management of, and communication with, strategic stakeholders" (Steyn 2000a). 1.1 Discuss the purpose of corporate communication strategies. In simple words, for any organisation the main and basic purpose of corporate communication strategies is to achieve its corporate objectives. In the case of Orange, the scenario was a bit different with lot of difficulties in 1994 at the time of its launch. Because they were the last entrant in the market at that time and three other companies were dominating the market. They have identified Cellnet and Vodaphone as their main competitor because they already had ten years of market existence at that time with nationwide coverage with millions of subscribers. At this situation, Orange's higher management realised that to achieve its corporate objectives, they have to build a strong corporate brand with the help...
