...BUSINESS NOVEMBER 23, 2010 The Just-in-Time Consumer By ELLEN BYRON Julia Robinson for The Wall Street Journal Rebecca Seabern in her destocked pantry. She is using groceries that she already has before buying more. Executives peddling wares from canned goods to cashmere say the shift in consumption habits is prompting them to change how they produce, package, price and deliver their goods. When the economy sank two years ago, Rebecca Seabern realized she could shrink her grocery bill just by eating into her crammed kitchen pantry. "I had eight boxes of lasagna in there and a year's worth of paper towels," says Ms. Seabern, a 31-year-old accountant and married mother of two in San Antonio. Today, Ms. Seabern still has her job, but her antipathy to hoarding hasn't changed. "I've stopped purchasing things just to have them on hand," she says, preferring to make bigger mortgage payments instead. The Great Depression replaced a spendthrift culture with a generation of frugal savers. The recent recession, too, has left in its wake a deeply changed shopper: the just-in-time consumer. Access thousands of business sources not available on the free web. Learn More For over two decades, Americans bought big, bought more and stocked up, confident that bulk shopping, often on credit, provided the best value for their money. But the long recession—with its high unemployment, plummeting home values and depleted savings accounts—altered the way many people think about the future...

R.O2, Ogbuokebe S.K3 1,2 Department of Electronic & Computer Engineering, University of Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria 3 National Space Research and Development agency, Abuja As a result of these, majority of the farmers end up bankrupt while some incur huge debt from banks, relatives or committee of friends in the process [3]. With the proposed drying system, farmers would be able to dry their farm produce using appropriate temperature and humidity control system. Abstract— this paper presents the design and implementation of a microcontroller based Seed Dryer Machine for farm produce interfaced with PC. Drying of farm produce and seeds in large quantity such as; melon, beans, corn, cocoa seeds, pumpkin seeds, rice, pepper seeds, tomato seeds etc., has been very challenging due to lack of drying facilities, drying space and poor weather. This gives low lifespan to the seeds and reduced quantity of stored seeds, which in turn could discourage farmers from further cultivations. In view of this problem, a microcontroller based Seed Dryer Machine is designed to aid and encourage farmers to dry in large scale different farm produce within a set time...

But it is also a fact that some of these products cannot be improved due to lack of knowledge on how these products can be transform into food. Philippines have numerous crops and still not all aware of many different vegetables here thus they are not aware of the countless nutrients they can get from it. A remarkable nutrient that gives benefits that can improve one’s health. Since Philippines have been conquered by many races, it is possible to adopt some of their culture and one of the greatest impacts on us was the Spaniards. As the time goes by, Spaniards introducedsome of their food like the braso de marcedes, champorado, ensaymada, mechado, pan de sal, polvoron and many more. Filipinos inherited Pan de sal from the Spaniards who once colonized the country, but as the years passed Filipinos made some revisions and declared as our own. Way back 16th Century, the Spaniards introduced the breads that comes in rolls and served during breakfast. Spaniards trained Filipinos on how to make bread and until now, the techniques are still there.
