...Case Study: Bottled Water Industry Team 3 James Barlow, Julianne Schneider, Robyn Sumner & Katie Austin GBA 490 Dr. Drnevich 26 March 2008 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The strengths of The Coca-Cola Company’s Dasani brand include its availability and convenience, prominence of the parent company, geographic coverage, financial stability, assets, distribution channels, and image of social responsibility. Dasani’s availability and convenience stems from the fact that the brand is virtually in every supermarket, convenience store and vending machine. Consumers are bombarded with the brand, which makes it very recognizable and well known. Its recognition factor is partly due to the great success of its parent company, since The Coca-Cola Company is so well established and respected in the beverage industry. Another strength is Dasani’s geographic coverage. It is available in 200+ countries in localized flavors, which further extends the brands marketability. Dasani is obviously financially stable, as it is backed by one of the most successful beverage companies in the industry. Its financial stability allows for high cost advertising, marketing, and development. As part of the Coca-Cola family, Dasani reaps the benefits of readily available assets and distribution channels. Assets include water sources, processing systems, and bottling and manufacturing suppliers. Assets like bottling and manufacturing equipment can...

...look at a literary analysis is to consider a piece of literature from your own perspective. Rather than thinking about the author’s intentions, you can develop an argument based on any single term (or combination of terms) listed below. You’ll just need to use the original text to defend and explain your argument to the reader. Allegory - narrative form in which the characters are representative of some larger humanistic trait (i.e. greed, vanity, or bravery) and attempt to convey some larger lesson or meaning to life. Although allegory was originally and traditionally character based, modern allegories tend to parallel story and theme. William Faulkner’s A Rose for Emily- the decline of the Old South Robert Louis Stevenson’s Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde- man’s struggle to contain his inner primal instincts District 9- South African Apartheid X Men- the evils of prejudice Harry Potter- the dangers of seeking “racial purity” Character - representation of a person, place, or thing performing traditionally human activities or functions in a work of fiction Protagonist - The character the story revolves around. Antagonist - A character or force that opposes the protagonist. Minor character - Often provides support and illuminates the protagonist. Static character - A character that remains the same.

TOPE MARCH 2016 INTRODUCTION This term paper is about Orange Juice and how it is produced and gotten. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT My foremost gratitude goes to Almighty God, JEHOVAH, who has led me thus far. I also want to appreciate the effort of my Family members most especially Mrs Nwankwo Happiness .U. who has been helping me both financially and whose love has kept me going. Also my friend who helped me to type this work. ORANGE JUICE Orange juice is the liquid extract of the fruit of the orange tree. It is made by squeezing the fresh orange. Some commercial orange juice with a long shelf life are made by drying and later re-hydrating the juice, or by concentrating the juice and later adding water to the concentrate. Others are made by pasteurizing the juice and removing oxygen from it, necessitating the later addition of a flavor pack, generally made from orange products. It is known for its health benefits, particularly its high concentration of vitamin C. It comes in several different varieties, including blood orange. Orange juice is made from unfermented fresh oranges and provides many benefits for the body. Fresh orange juice is the richest source of vitamin C and fulfills an entire day’s...

...The death of the iPod Johnny Davis March 22, 2011 http://www.smh.com.au/digital-life/mp3s/the-death-of-the-ipod-20110322-1c4lw.html#ixzz1rzbCdfXZ The iPod Classic, as the famous scroll-wheel design is now known, hasn't been updated now since September 2009, with a modest capacity jump from 120GB to 160GB. On the Apple Online Store, shipping times have slipped from 24 hours to 1-3 day in the UK. Across the US, several major retailers have reported short supplies, leading to speculation the device may soon be discontinued. It didn't even warrant a mention at Apple's annual Developers Conference in 2010. "The iPod's essentially finished, give or take," says Dr Alice Enders, a former senior economist at the World Trade Organisation who now reports on global music markets for media consultancy Enders Analysis. "Sales have been in decline for some time. The converged media device is the way forward." In other words: the iPhone, the iPod Touch and the iPad - devices that the iPod paved the way for, devices that have helped push Apple's latest profits to a record-breaking $US20b. If the iPod now finds itself as the least-loved of the company's shiny portable devices, you get the sense Apple is probably OK with that. The iPod is 10 this year. Developed during 2001 and brought to market in just eight months, the circumstances surrounding its launch were hardly auspicious. For a start, it debuted days after 9/11. The press launch promised "the unveiling of a breakthrough device"...

...Dialysis case study A 66-year-old black male was seen by his primary provider for complaints of fatigue, anorexia, swelling of hands, face, and ankles, muscles cramps, and increased difficulty breathing. He has a 3-year history of poorly controlled hypertension related to non-adherence to the medical regimen. His B/P routinely runs in the range 155-165/92-102. His B/P today was 170/105. The client does not like to take pills and feels that they are not necessary. He also has been reluctant to modify his diet and likes to eat fried foods. He does not think his eating habits are causing any problems. Because of these symptoms, the client was admitted to the hospital for treatment and further evaluation. His lab values and renal studies confirmed the diagnosis of end stage kidney disease. Because of the severity of his problems, he was started on hemodialysis. What is the likely cause of his kidney failure? Explain your answers His kidney failure is caused by uncontrolled blood pressure and lack of treatment compliance. When you have uncontrolled high blood pressure it affects the kidneys because the blood vessels narrow and stiffen causing the nephrons in the kidney to work harder. Eventually if hypertension is left untreated it can lead to end stage renal disease because the nephrons in the kidney are no longer able to filter out the toxins such as nitrogen waste which builds up in the blood. They also are unable to maintain fluid or electrolyte balance. Eventually...

...It's 10 years since the original iPod shuffled on to the scene, changing the way we listen to and buy music for good. But could it soon be time to hang up our white headphones? Johnny Davis reports. Monday lunchtime at the world's largest Apple Store in London's Covent Garden and Georgina Evans, visiting from Bath in south-west England for a day's shopping, is trying to score some cred points with her daughter Emily. "I want to see how competent I am," she says, jabbing the screen of an iPhone 4. "Put it down," tuts her husband, Andrew. "You're not." Across the cavernous chambers of the Grade II-listed building similar human-technology interactions are taking place. At other tables, as in any of Apple's 300-plus stores worldwide, tourists check their emails and update their Facebook pages. Like everything else Apple does, its store layouts are ruthlessly designed. Pricey laptops and desktops by the door to lure you in, then iPads, then iPhones, then iPod Touches. The only table not occupied by a small cluster of people prodding, touching and fondling the technology is right at the back, in the store's depths. It's the table with the iPods on it. The iPod Classic, as the famous scroll-wheel design is now known, hasn't been updated now since September 2009, with a modest capacity jump from 120GB to 160GB.

...Individual Counseling Techniques, Mindfulness Exercises Journal Week of Jan. 25th – 10 minutes observing breathing This was pretty easy to do, just hard to stay awake for! I often use this to fall asleep when I need to relax first. It’s also a part of qigong, so it was sort of hard not to just begin a routine, because I’m used to associating guided meditation with conscious breathing. Sometimes wandering thoughts intruded, but they were not too hard to push away. My place is quiet, so as long as the cat is (He yowls and chases the other cat at inconvenient times.)so it is easy to relax and be uninterrupted. This is also something I have done to try and minimize an asthma attack, though not with meditation as a goal! I guess there were a number of associations that I have which are ingrained, and that was something I had to deliberately redirect to keep the exercise simple. I did notice that when I have more on my mind, that it is harder to make myself be physically still, and my mind is similarly resistant to slowing down. Week of Feb. 1 – progressive relaxation I didn’t really like the speaker, because he sounded fake, like someone narrating a children’s bedtime story. That was one distraction. It required a deliberate effort at non-judgmental observation to get past this, which I suspect the average listener isn’t trained to do. The relaxation was hard to do because I normally feel some degree of physical discomfort throughout the day, and the tensing-relaxing directions...

It is true that in a country which ranks first in milk production in the world, is number 2 in fruits & vegetables production and has substantial production of marine, meat & poultry products, the country needed a fully developed cold chain sector. However the current scenario reveals that there is a tremendous scope for the development of cold chain facilities. The cold storage sector is undergoing a major metamorphosis, with the Government focusing on food preservation. A lot of stress is being laid on energy efficiency as the cold stores are energy intensive. With the advent of newer materials / equipments, every part of a cold chain renders itself amenable for improvement. As a result type of construction, insulation, refrigeration equipment, type of controls – all of them are witnessing changes. Realizing the significance of the cold chain industry...

...Section-1 INTRODUCTION Background of the study (Credibility in Wikipedia) A selfie is a type of self-portrait photograph, typically taken with a hand-held digital camera or camera phone. Selfies are often associated with social networking, like Instagram. They are often casual, are typically taken either with a camera held at arm's length or in a mirror, and typically include either only the photographer or the photographer and as many people as can be in focus. Selfies taken that involve multiple people are known as "group selfies" or "ussies". Robert Cornelius, an American pioneer in photography, produced a daguerreotype of himself in 1839 which is also one of the first photographs of a person. The concept of uploading group self-taken photographs (now known as super selfies) to the internet, although with a disposable camera not a smartphone, dates to a webpage created by Australians in September 2001, including photos taken in the late 1990s (captured by the Internet Archive in April 2004). The earliest usage of the word selfie can be traced as far back as 2002. It first appeared in an Australian internet forum (ABC Online) on 13 September 2002. Um, drunk at a mates 21st, I tripped ofer [sic] and landed lip first (with front teeth coming a very close second) on a set of steps. I had a hole about 1cm long right through my bottom lip. And sorry about the focus, it was a selfie. The term "selfie" was discussed by photographer Jim Krause in 2005, although photos in the...

...On February 28, 1953, Francis Crick, the co-discoverer of the DNA molecule, bolted into the Eagle Pub in Cambridge, England, and proclaimed that he and his colleague, James Watson, had solved one of the greatest mysteries of human existence. “We have found the secret of life!” those in the pub remember him saying. And with that proclamation, the human species began a new era in understanding ourselves and our relationship to our world. The rest, as they say aloud, is history. And while the discovery of the DNA molecule itself is, without a doubt, a pivotal event in the quest to know ourselves, it also opened the door to an even greater possibility with even greater implications—the possibility of an intelligent design that forms the core of our existence. When Watson, Crick, and others in the scientific community first recognized the pattern of the DNA molecule, they were immediately struck by its beauty, its elegance, and its simplicity. And as scientists they could not deny its unmistakable order. For such a molecule to exist, sustain itself, correct/heal the errors that it finds within itself, and perpetuate itself for millions of years, suggests that some kind of cosmic blueprint is involved. And for some people, these undeniable facts imply that DNA is intentional— that something, or someone, created the code of life. While there are many theories and much speculation, the fact is that we simply don’t know for certain how DNA originated, or why it showed up on Earth. And...
