...CHICKENS OF THE SEA Not long ago, a friend once told me that he heard Jessica Simpson say on television, that a brand of canned tuna called “Chicken of the Sea” literally means, chickens that live in the sea. As we all know chickens cannot naturally live in the sea due to their physical deficiencies in water. In other words, the only way chickens could live under the sea is if the company invested billions into undersea chicken farms. For example, They could build giant undersea domes just like Sandy Peaches, in the hit kids television show “Spongebob Squarepants”. Furthermore the labeling itself states quite clearly that the food product contained in the tin is in fact tuna. Now, if the label didn’t say anything about tuna on the front It would be very easy to confuse the product with chicken, but that is not the case for this specific brand. In addition, tuna in general is very different from chicken in so many aspects, that it is really hard to confuse tuna with chicken. The textures, colors, and taste are so different that anyone who has ever eaten both tuna and chicken, could easily differentiate between the two products. Jessica Simpson’s statement is a falsehood that can be proven wrong with simple observation. First, chickens cannot live in the sea due to the fact that they have evolved on land for millions of years. Everything about their bodies have been finely tuned for living life on the surface of the world. Resulting in different organs compared to marine...

...Food & Nutrition Pastry Making Pastry Techniques Pastry is so useful. The different techniques can be used in an endless array of dishes, savory and sweet. A calm, organized approach using a cool worktop and ingredients will help produce great pastry. Work in as cool an environment as possible well away from the cooker or boiler. Kitchens are usually coolest in the mornings. Use your finger tips- the coolest part of your hands. While it helps to allow the fat to soften, before using, don't let it get too warm Sift the flour and when rubbing in the fat, lift the flour as high as possible while keeping it in the bowl- both steps will incorporate cold air which will expand once in the oven and produce light pastry. Rub until the mixture looks like fine breadcrumbs then stop- if you over do it, you will have tough, old pastry on your hands. Add the water gradually; you really don't want to have to add more flour after liquid. On the other hand, too little will create a dry and crumbly dough that will be hard to roll without breaking. Mixing, Rolling, Panning, Trimming and Cooking Pastry ~Make a disk -Before you chill or roll out the dough, take the time to shape in into an even disk less then an inch thick and smooth edges. Well floured hands and a well floured work surface will make this easier. This will make the dough much easier to roll out quickly and evenly and will help avoid cracking on the edges. ~ Chill the Dough -Chill the dough before you roll it...

...another New Year dawned bleak. There were many who wondered if their lives would ever be normal again. After the destruction that had gone before, and in a year that would bring victory and peace, ironically, Britain would lose more men than in any other year of the war. 1916 had seen the government tighten its control of land with the very nature of rural life undergoing profound and far-reaching change. The government had asked famers to increase their yield and were pushing the use of tractors and steam ploughs. Mechanisation was the order of the day and, as with most new ideas, some were keen to embrace these ‘new fangled machines’ while others railed over the passing of traditional practices.

...The Role of Resources in Strategic Management Mark Bush Management and Strategy Edward Farrell 26 October, 2012 Abstract There has been a push in recent years to make weather a stakeholder in business. It affects the way business is conducted and impacts productivity. Weather must be taken into account when making strategic plans. The various weather patterns must be looked at, placement of assets and resource management must be considered. An organization must make plans for weather related issues in order to stay competitive. The Role of Resources in Strategic Management During strategic planning, upper level management and boards of directors look to the future of their organizations. They plan for spending on new assets. They look for the best courses of action to find and procure the best inputs for the cheapest price in order to make the most profit. They look to their employees for continuity and also how to replace employees as they leave. These upper level managers need to account for weather and its affects. The key questions that need to be asked are: • What is the product I am selling? • Where is my market: • What are the inputs I need to create my product? • How will I move my product to market or to my customers? • How many employees do I need to produce my products? • What are the skill sets I need in my employees...

...Financial Reporting [case study #2] September 26, 2013 Introduction As the most famous worldwide beverage reaches the last stage of the production line, it is shipped to an authorized bottler – a company which duty is to mix Coca-Cola’s syrup (or concentrates) with carbonated water and sugar before selling it in glass or tin containers. These bottlers can be categorized in three groups taking into account their dependence from The Coca-Cola Company (hereafter simply referred as Coca-Cola). First, there are the independently owned bottlers, which accounted for 34% of Coca-Cola’s production in 1998. Second, 11% of Coca-Cola’s bottlers are owned and controlled. And then, there are those in which Coca-Cola has invested but still has no control (55% in 1998). Anchor Bottlers is the name given to some of these bottlers in which Coca-Cola has minority interests. They account for the majority of Coca-Cola’s sales (43%), justifying their special importance for the company. They tend to be large, geographically disperse and financially burly. There were 10 companies under this label, by 1999. This rooting of Coca-Cola’s business operations aims to make the most of its subsidiaries, by exploiting their efficiency in producing, delivering and marketing Coca-Cola’s products. Nonetheless, the level of control and ownership is carefully studied based on these bottlers’ financial health, resources available at the time of the investment, and the need to share ownerships with other important...

However, managers need to be aware of certain strong Filipino characteristics, which underpin personal relationships within the country. Firstly, people are extremely careful to ensure that others do not suffer embarrassment or any sense of shame (hiya) as a result of their own actions or their inability to meet the expectations of others. It is considered to be very bad behavior to criticize another in public, as this is the greatest insult that can be given. To be openly criticized in public results in a loss of self-esteem and personal dignity. Any attack on an individual's self-esteem may have to be revenged. Therefore, managers are keen to treat subordinates with respect whilst, at the same time, maintaining the dignity of the position of boss. Instructions will be given clearly and precisely and subordinates will be expected to follow those instructions with little or no discussion. Secondly, relationship bonds run...

... Introduction On December 30, 1903 hundreds of people filled the Iroquois Theater to see a matinee showing of the comedy Mr. Bluebeard, starring a popular actor Eddie Foy. The Iroquois theater was Chicago’s newest and most polished theater and had only been open for five weeks. The theater was advertised to be fireproof by the architect who had designed it, Benjamin Marshal. Marshal had studied many theater fires from the past and thought that his design would be completely safe. It was advertised that, “The theater had more than twenty five emergency exits and could be emptied in less than five minutes” (Weird and Haunted Chicago). Even a fire resistant curtain made of asbestos was installed to keep the audience safe just in case of a fire. The theater was designed to hold 1,600 people, but was believed to be overcrowded with nearly 2,000 people for the matinee show. Out of the 2000 people, most were women and children because school was out for the holidays. Also, almost 400 actors, stagehands, and dancers crowded back stage for the performance. The hundreds of patrons had no idea that their fun day at the theater would turn out to be extremely deadly. By looking at...

...SIMPLE SCIENCE EXPERIMENTS HANS JURGEN PRESS 1. Astronomy Image of the Sun Place a pair of binoculars in an open window in the direct path of the sun’s rays. Stand a mirror in front of one eyepiece so that it throws an image of the sun on to the opposite wall of the room. Adjust the mirror until the image is sharp, and darken the room. You would risk damaging your eyes if you looked directly at the sun through binoculars, but you can view the bright disc on the wall as large and clear as in the movies. Clouds and birds passing over can also be distinguished and. if the binoculars are good even sunspots. These are a few hot areas on the glowing sphere, some so big that many terrestrial globes could fit into them. Because of the earth’s rotation, the sun’s image moves quite quickly across the wall. Do not forget to re-align the binoculars from time to time onto the sun. The moon and stars cannot be observed in this way because the light coming from them is too weak. 2. Sun clock Place a flowerpot with a long stick fixed into the hole at the bottom in a spot, which is sunny, all day. The stick’s shadow moves along the rim of the pot as the sun moves. Each hour by the clock mark the position of the shadow on the pot. If the sun is shining, you can read off the time. Because of the rotation of the earth the sun apparently passes over us in a semi-circle. In the morning and evening its shadow strikes the pot superficially, while; it midday, around 12 o’clock...

...Cast iron is difficult, but not impossible, to weld. In most cases, welding on cast iron involves repairs to castings, not joining casting to other members. The repairs may be made in the foundry where the castings are produced, or may be made to repair casting defects that are discovered after the part is machined. Mis-machined cast iron parts may require repair welding, such as when holes are drilled in the wrong location. Frequently, broken cast iron parts are repaired by welding. Broken cast iron parts are not unusual, given the brittle nature of most cast iron.While there are a variety of types of cast iron, the most common is gray cast iron, and these guidelines are directed toward this type of material. A few facts about cast iron help in understanding the welding challenges. Cast iron typically has a carbon content of 2% - 4%, roughly 10 times as much as most steels. The high carbon content causes the carbon to form flakes of graphite. This graphite gives gray cast iron its characteristic appearance when fractured.When castings are made, molten iron is poured into a mold and allowed to slowly cool. When this high carbon material is allowed to cool slowly, crack free castings can be made. Remembering this is helpful when welding cast iron: during and after welding, the casting must either be allowed to cool slowly, or should be kept cool enough that the rate of cooling is not important.A critical temperature in most cast iron is about 1450 degrees F. When at this temperature...

...“Looks Bleak”, words of Ms. Larsen who is the vice president of operation at American Connector Company. Ms. Larsen said the above mentioned words when she was reading a report on competitors plan as they were thinking of entering the US market of electrical connectors. American market had been selling electrical connector since 1970’s when the US experience rapid growth as firms capacity were building up to meet the growing demand. However, soon by 1980, the market started to go down and since because of the boom in 1970’s there were a lot of suppliers in the market which lead to excess capacity production but less demand which lead to price competition amongst all the companies that had entered the US market since 1970’s. Electrical connector were in so demand in the first few years of its launch but because of very large amount of supply in the market, sales for each company went down by 3.9% and the customers had demanded better quality and lower prices which lead to lower profit at year end. AMP inc. which had the most market share of 16% was the market leader as their sales were over $800 million. American Connector and DJC were however, coming in the second tier of the market as there sales were in between $500 million to $800 million. American Connector company (ACC) was one of the companies that supplied the electrical connectors is the US, however recent news of DJC, a Japanese corporation which is in the same business is looking to expand its production in US which...
