...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...

...recently, the beverages market was divided simply between alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. As consumers' tastes grew more sophisticated and demand surged for a variety of beverage options catering to lifestyle changes and health concerns, the beverages industry has responded with a dizzying array of options to choose from. Products manufactured by the beverage industry include: bottled water, juice, sparkling and still drinks, syrups, nectars, ready-to-drink and regular teas and coffees, dairy drinks, energy drinks, sports drinks, fruit powders, and alcoholic drinks such as beer, wine, cider and spirits. The industry experienced a CAGR of 2.3% for the period spanning 2007-2016. Industry consumption volumes increased with a CAGR of 2.4% between 2006 and 2010, to reach a total of 717,040.5 million litres in 2011. The soft drinks industry will continue to straddle two different worlds: the mature developed markets where growth has stagnated and developing markets where previously high growth rate has slowed, but still offer the greatest upside. Bottled water will continue to lead the soft drinks sector in volume terms, with a projected growth rate of 5.4% over the coming year. Ready-to-drink tea and Asian specialty drinks will be the...

...Management Spring Arbor University Jaspreet Kaur (Jas) Terry A. O’Connor, Ph.D. September 6, 2010 Abstract Cadbury Schweppes formed its joint venture in 1969. The company went through several mergers and acquisitions from 1969 to 2008, but the company was able to survive and became the global leader in confectionery and soft drink business. In the early stage, the company had to struggle but by the late 1900’s Cadbury Schweppes started to expand its business worldwide.

In 2008, the beverage site of the business (Schweppes) became Dr Pepper Snapple Group and confectionery (Cadbury) was bought by Kraft Foods the very next year.

...IMO Policy on Repressing of Piracy and Armed Robbery against Ships in the Western Indian Ocean and the Gulf of Aden (Horn of Africa region) Foreword: piracy in the Horn of Africa The United Nations (UN) and in particular the International Maritime Organization (IMO) have assertively tackled piracy since 2006.1 This effort is a response to the escalation of violence and the expansion of Somali piracy in the Horn of Africa, where, since 2004, ships, seafarers and property are constantly threatened by acts of piracy. Pirates are menacing shipping traffic close to vital choke points (Suez Canal, Hormuz Strait), disrupting freedom of navigation and the free movement of goods by sea, as well as jeopardizing regional stability. There is a strong body of evidence that Somali piracy is a tangible threat to the maritime community as a whole: however, IMO response (as a part of International Community action) has been seen as insufficient in order to efficiently fight pirates. This paper underlines positive and negative aspects of IMO counter-piracy policy, drawing the conclusion that despite substantial flaws and lack of pragmatism IMO action provides an essential catalyst able to orchestrate an international, comprehensive response against Horn of Africa piracy. Policy identification and implementation Current IMO counter-piracy policy is underpinned by an articulated set of papers, recommendations and agreements, which has been developed since 1998 and whose roots are even deeper. Actually...

...You enter through the front gate and immediately your ears are filled with the sounds of kids and adults alike laughing away. Chuckling and giggling simply fill the air. As you continue along your eyes come across all sorts of life size characters: Shamu the whale, a sea otter, penguins with their tuxedo-like fur, Franklin the turtle, and even Elmo with his soft red fur. As you progress further into the park, the smell of roasting turkey legs, reminding you of Thanksgiving, and freshly popped buttered popcorn fills your nostrils. You can’t escape the smell. The whole time you get to enjoy the company of your family and friends. Once you get to the heart of the park, you get to see all sorts of real life animals up close. In the penguin habitat, you can almost touch them, they’re so close. At the dolphin pool, you can reach over into the crisp, cool water and feed them little fish if you want. At the sting ray pool, you can do the same; their slimy skin is such an interesting thing to touch. You enter through the front gate and immediately you’re bombarded with employees asking if you want to take a picture with any of the life size characters. Every few feet it seems, they are asking you again, it’s endless. There are people all over the place: employees, tourists, and children everywhere you look. There’s barely room to walk around. The roaring noise made by the crowd is so loud; you can hardly hear yourself think. The further you walk into the park, the smells...

...1. Introduction India is located in Southern Asia, bordering the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal. It is the seventh largest country in the world with a population of 1,189,172,906 (CIA, 2011), making it the second largest populous country with only China having a greater population (Burrows, 2005). India is part of the BRIC countries, meaning that it is seen as a major developing economy in the world as well as contributing towards 40% of the world’s population in which the BRIC countries formulate (Rosenberg, 2009) however, although India is seen as having a major developing economy, it is poverty stricken (CIA, 2011). A survey conducted by NSSO in 2004/05 concluded that 22.15% of Indian residents are living below the poverty line, with the main factor contributing towards poverty being the high population growth rate (Facts about India: Poverty, 2011) which is expected to lead the way at 7.9% per annum (The Soft Drinks Industry of India, 2009). 2.

...The Bridegroom's doors are opened wide, And I am next of kin; The guests are met, the feast is set: May'st hear the merry din.' He holds him with his skinny hand, 'There was a ship,' quoth he. 'Hold off! unhand me, grey-beard loon!' Eftsoons his hand dropt he. He holds him with his glittering eye— The Wedding-Guest stood still, And listens like a three years' child: The Mariner hath his will. The Wedding-Guest sat on a stone: He cannot choose but hear; And thus spake on that ancient man, The bright-eyed Mariner. 'The ship was cheered, the harbour cleared, Merrily did we drop Below the kirk, below the hill, Below the lighthouse top. The Sun came up upon the left, Out of the sea came he! And he shone bright, and on the right Went down into the sea. Higher and higher every day, Till over the mast at noon—' The Wedding-Guest here beat his breast, For he heard the loud bassoon. The bride hath paced into the hall, Red as a rose is she; Nodding their heads before her goes The merry minstrelsy. The Wedding-Guest he beat his breast, Yet he cannot choose but hear; And thus spake on that ancient man, The bright-eyed Mariner. And now the STORM-BLAST came, and he Was tyrannous and strong: He struck with his o'ertaking wings, And chased us south along. With sloping masts and dipping prow, As who pursued with...

...Introduction What role does tourism have in biodiversity conservation, community health, and quality of life? World tourism has grown significantly in my lifetime; from 1950 to 2010 international arrivals expanded at an annual rate of 6.5%, growing from 25 million travelers to over 900 million travelers. By 2020, international arrivals are expected to surpass 1.5 billion people. In addition, world tourism is one of the world’s largest employers, generating 231 million jobs, or nearly 1 out of every 12 jobs globally (WTTC, 2007). Therefore, I am forever filled with optimism that tourism developed sustainably will reduce and one day perhaps eliminate the variety of negative impacts on biodiversity—and will significantly contribute to the health and well-being of local people. Despite the considerable widespread political and economic restrictive environments imposed on the world development of travel and tourism during the last two three decades, the tourism sector has emerged as one of the fastest growing single industries in the World since the end of 1970s. At present, the tourism industry represents around 11% of the world’s GPD, around 8% of global jobs ( around 200 million jobs) and around 9% of global wages (WTTC,2000)[1]. It is the largest job generator of the world economy today. Over 5.5 million global jobs per year during the coming decade are expected from the industry. Despite the unequal distribution of these economic benefits, the expectations from tourism...
