Technological Controversy Paper Are Genetically Modified Foods Safe to Eat?Genetically modified organisms, or GMOs, are foods which have been influenced artificially for the purpose of human or animal consumption. They are modified using biology to enhance desired traits such as resistance against herbicides or higher nutritional intake by inserting genes from one organism into another. An example of this is pesticide-producing crops, where scientists manipulate the genes of a plant so that it constructs its own form of pesticide. There have been many controversies surrounding the usage and ethics of GMOS. On one hand, people argue that genetically modified foods are not only safe, but have nutritional as well as health benefits. A survey conducted by Pew Research Center revealed that 88 of AAAS scientists believed that GM foods were safe for human consumption, which contradicted the 57 of general public who voted that GM goods were unsafe for consumption (Funk, p.5). Reasons why peopl

WE, ON DEATH ROWBENETTONS CAMPAIGNSince 1989, Benetton officially adopted the trademark, "United Colors of Benetton," initiating and formalizing more than ten years strategy to radically transform the face of conventional advertising. In place of the product, Benetton presented powerful and problematic visual images of social issues of universal importance such as environmental disasters, peace, AIDS, terrorism, murder, tolerance of diversity and struggle against racism.Benettons advertising campaigns and social communication strategies are a clear echo of contemporary culture and society. Benettons United Colors Campaign transformed the traditional notions of advertising, so that the goal is no longer to simply sell their products, the brand name or to create a desire. Instead, their campaigns promote social concerns, critiques and ideologies. Since Oliviero Toscani, photographer and creative director of Benetton advertising, arrived to the company, controversy has accompani

This memo outlines how healthy Asian fast food and traditional food need to be set up in Huntington Beach city. After researching and analyzing information on this city, we will explain why we should build an Asian restaurant that will impact and create a transformative model of industry travel in this city. Since Huntington Beach city does not have many Asian restaurants, we think that setting up a Pacific Traditional Food and Multicultural Center will solve the problem of lacking Asian restaurants appeal to tourists and locals residents such as you. IntroductionHuntington Beach City is a seaside city in Orange County about forty miles South of Los Angeles. According to 10 best USA today, Huntington Beach is also known as the surfing capital of the world and the best beach in California. It is known for its 10 miles of sandy beaches, mild climate, beach culture, and outstanding surfing. At the end of the pier, Rubys Diner, is a prominent symbol of the city. As we stand on the pier, we

Con CaseIntroductionWe must take the con side of the resolution Resolved On balance, the benefits of genetically modified foods outweigh the harms. You must evaluate todays debate with a cost benefit analysis, and vote con if the harms outweigh the benefits.Contention 1 Superweeds and SuperbugsThe use of genetically modified foods spawns herbicide resistant superweeds and superbugs. Firstly, according to Carry Gillham, staff writer for Reuters, the Monsanto Company is making genetically modified corn, soybeans, and cotton that they call Roundup Ready. These crops are genetically modified to be resistant to herbicides, including the most popular one, Roundup. When spraying these GMOs with Roundup, weeds around them have actually built up resistance to Roundup and other herbicides. Without herbicides to stop these superweeds, experts have estimated that they have infected 11 million acres of land. In fact, these weeds are able to grow several inches a day. Secondly, according to Tom Phil

Scientists and consumers agree that people should consume more produce nonetheless, some consumer articles appear to be more transparent in purpose. The scientific article is a collaboration between the Campbell Soup Company, Bastyr University, Baylor University, and University of California, Davis titled The use of a commercial vegetable juice as a practical means to increase vegetable intake a randomized controlled trial, by Carl L. Keen et al. The popular article is Vegetable Diet The Best and Worst Vegetables to Eat, written by Dr. Joseph Mercola for the Huffington Post (2). While both articles support vegetable juicing, they differ most significantly in their sources, breadth, and motive.The scientific study and the popular article both justify pursuing vegetable juice as a means to promote health, but the scientific article actually backs its primary aim with concrete information. That is, in rationalizing the benefits of such a diet, the popular article lacks sources tocorrobora

In the food business, the past 10 or 15 years has seen significant changes. In this paper want to analyze these changes from the point of view of DuPont, one of the major ingredient company in the world. With this in mind I claim that global trends will bring new business opportunities, but DuPont should change its strategy to harvest the most of what the future will bringTo support my statement I collected qualitative and quantitative information. The information gathered were applied to define some future scenarios that were used as a baseline for strategic planning. MEGA-TRENDSThe first thing a reader needs to know is that global changes are creating new opportunities in food and nutrition industry (1). Particularly a new market of consumers focused on healthy food is emerging and the concept of healthy nutrition is permeating more aspects of our life. In a world with more people dying from obesity than for starvation, poor nutrition is now regarded as one of the major risks for chr

Photographer Mark Menjivars portfolio called You Are What You Eat is a series of portraying peoples lives through looking into whats inside their refrigerators in different households across the United States. Menjivar captures the interiors and the contents inside different refrigerators owned by people of various occupation from an eye level view with the same diffused lighting. Each fridge contains different contents of food, including takeout containers, piles of alcoholic beverages, stacks of frozen red meat, pots, empty shelves, a frozen yellow snake, and occasionally vegetables or fruits. Some are well-organized and taken care of while some are scattered, left to grease up and stain. Some are more packed, repulsive, or colorful than others. The title for each photograph reveals the occupations of the refrigerators owners, such as botanist, housewife, science teacher, short order cook, carpenter, and street adviser. For example, Bar Tender owns a fridge full of takeout boxes, an

There are many traditional festivals which relate to certain kind of food in China. Like American people often eat roasted turkey in Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day, people in China will eat Yuanxiao in Lantern festival. Lantern Festival falls on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. This is the first full moon of the New Year, symbolizing unity and perfection. Lantern Festival is also an important part of Spring Festival, and marks the official end of the long holiday. Yuanxiao is a kind of boiled rice dumpling, which is made partly or wholly of glutinous rice flour with sweet or salty stuffings and then served in soup. It has many kinds of stuffing like sesame, peanut, lean meat, chocolate. The sesame one is peoples favorite choice because it has the original taste of sweet and elastic. The shape of yuanxiao is often like a rice ball, so it gradually becomes a kind of traditional food with the implication of auspicious that specially symbolizes reunion and happiness. In this

For this particular assignment, I was assigned to analyze my caloric target. My current weight is 198 (lbs.) and my goal weight I want to reach is 160 (lbs.). I am twenty-nine years old and my current height is 5 feet and 6 inches. My activity life style is at a sedentary level and I am always at home usually doing homework and sitting, typing, reading, and working at my computer. I sometimes dont exercise. My goal date to lose weight is by January 2016. My caloric target goal is to consume about 1,500 calories a day, so I can reach my goal weight of 160 lbs. Each week I should lose about 0.5 to 2 lbs. a week, so I can meet my goal by January 2016. I am estimating this based on my weight, age, height, and activity level. I have been trying to lose weight since two weeks ago, and I am seeing a little progress. To make reference to my progress, today, in the morning, I ate Bisquick Real Pancakes Net Wt. 40 Oz (2Lb 8 Oz). In the food label it reads amount per serving is 160 cal

The meal that shaped me the most was the lunch at Cicis pizza during my 2012 all-region clinic. We had pizza-eating contests, which ended up making people really sick. I felt really bad for the Cicis pizza staff. You can honestly tell a lot about a band kid in how fast they eat. There is something enjoyable about gorging yourself in a competition that no one really ever wins. The pizza-eating contest was the talk of the band for several weeks before hand. There was talk about what the different people who planned to be involved in this event did to train to consume copious amounts of pizza, and I have to admit, didnt sound pretty. Most of their plans were to stuff themselves full until they popped, or so they said. One of them claimed, You have to let the grease allow the pizza to slide down. The thought of this made me a sick little did I know the contest would be pretty gruesome. There were quite a few people who trained, but only consisted of three sections, the tuba, clarinet, and

Executive SummaryJamie Oliver is an English chef, restaurateur and one of the worlds best-loved television personalities and one of the most famous exports of Britain. He offers a 12-month Apprentice Programme that designed to offer young, unemployed people to help them stay out of troubles. In this situational analysis report, the company is considering expanding its operations into Singapore. As I am the manager of the programme will do research and analysis of the impact that will influence the business expanding in Singapore.Singapore is a multi-ethics society made up of Chinese, Malay, Indian and others came from all across Asia, so it is important to study the local customers tradition, value, and beliefs. There is a total sales value of food and beverage services has raise 1.2 from 2014 year which is 639 million SGD so I believe it is an opportunity for Jamie Olivers restaurant expanding into Asia country as well. After that, the strategic marketing planning which include 4Ps wo

WINDMERE CORPORATIONWhat do you recommend that Windmere do over the next two or three years?In my opinion, Windmere must continue to expand its U.S. sales to continue using its factories in China effectively in 2-3 years time. It has focused on a developing a family of brand names in addition to private branding and OEM business , as well as developing additional product lines to push through its distribution channels. These brand names can be easily marketed through these channels which will in return provide reasonable profit to the company. Focusing on brand identities for each of its major product lines is an important issue for this company. Its professional saloon products from the Belson Products Division are marketed under saloon designs, Pro Star and Premier brand names. This enables Windmere to gain large national retain chain clients such as Wal-Mart, Eckerd Drug, Kmart, Target, Caldor, etc. These huge retail clients will be Windmere s strategic partners.

Aisha BarfieldBloodEnglish 80341315A Common MealAisha BarfieldBloodEnglish 80341315Buffalo Bills restaurant is a well-known restaurant that sits at the heart of Hayward on B Street. It is surrounded by a chain of many other fine dining restaurants, but none as good as the western inspired Buffalo Bills. On the outside of the restaurant at first glance it reminds you of an old Italian place, yet the name Buffalo Bills set your mind at askew when you notice the western title compared to the Italian landscape outside. Buffalo Bills has a variety of delicious Soups, Burgers, Pizzas, Desserts and assorted appetizers. Although their menu seems to be very simple, its the simplicity that catches the eye. Yesterday I visited Buffalo Bills restaurant, and I must say their main goal is to keep their customers happy and make them want to come back. The customers seem to enjoy the enthusiasm that Buffalo Bills portrays within the eating environment, service, and the amazing food. As soon as the gue

One of my favorite restaurants is The Seafood Shack in Huntington Beach, California. This little hidden gem is absolutely delicious. It lies inside a strip mall, and is essentially squished in the corner of the parking lot. I never would have tried this restaurant if it hadnt been recommended a family friend. But I must say, I will certainly take his recommendations from now on.I still remember walking in here for the first time and being greeted by a delicious garlicky Cajun smell. On the table, I noticed the lack of silverware and plates, but that seemed to phase none of the regular customers I was with, so I ignored my curiosity and confusion, and just sat down. Seafood is ordered by the pound, and can also be purchased via buckets. These buckets come with shrimp or crawfish, and a mixture of sausage, potatoes, mussels and clams. A variety of spices was available to us as well. My group ordered three pounds of shrimp in the original shack style seasonings, along with some other side

The Upper-Class DessertLike countless other college students, my aspirations for my life are quite high. My dreams of the future include a high positioned job in a thriving city, designer clothes and shoes, a beautiful house, a loving marriage, children, and overall the freedom to choose how I live my life. Walt Disney has quoted, All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them, (Daskal). I possibly learned this want for the high life when my parents joined a country club while I was in seventh grade. It was at Brookside country club where I learned about dress code, how to speak, tennis, golf, and most of all, fine dining. After a couple months of enjoying all the fancy perks that came along with belonging to a country club, we were scheduled to have dinner in the special Swan Room. I enjoyed a five-course meal, which would have been seven if I could finish it all. Eventually, we had our choice of dessert. I chose the one that looked as if it had misspelled cream in

In the book Making Fast Food From the Frying Pan into the Fryer, the author, Ester Reiter examines how the fast food industry changed the lives of many. In 1982-83, Ester Reiter, an assistant professor in Sociology at Brock University, spent five months working at Burger King. Much of the observations and research presented in the book are the author's real experiences and opinions during her time at this ever expanding fast-food outlet. In a fascinating way, this book looks at how the fast-food industry affected and changed the family. The book also focuses on how the fast-food industry grew and developed with the assistance of repetitive work for cheap labor. In the next few pages, I will discuss the main issues the author has written about in her book. The introduction of restaurants were only appealing to the wealthy because they could afford going to Inns in which these restaurants were located. By 1920, with the help of technology, mass production had started. The introductio

"You are what you eat", goes a famous saying. And if that is trulythe case, then a lot of Americans would appear to be unhealthy, chemicallytreated, commercially raisedslabs of animal flesh. And while that is not a particularly pleasantthought, it is nonetheless an description of the typical American omnivorewho survives on the consumption of Big Macs and steak fajitas.But there are individuals who do not follow this American norm andhave altered their diets so that they do not consume any meat. These peopleare vegetarians, and they are the new breed of healthy Americans who refuseto poison themselves with fats, cholesterol, and the other harmfuladditives that come from meat. And while once thought to be a movement thatwould never gain much momentum, it has nonetheless moved itself to theforefront of Americans' healthy diets.The word vegetarian, used to describe the diets of people who donot consume animal flesh, was not used until around the mid-1800s. Theconcept of vege

From the warped mind of Nick DeCamp, we bring you Chocolate Covered Musings, candy for your brain. new musings! Send Nick feedback! I try to be calm with people who frighten very easily, because patience is a virtue. For example, once I had to wait patiently under this girl's bed for eight hours before she finally came home. I find that little kids are just ungrateful. You try to do something fun for them and they repay you by vomiting on your shoes or something. Hey, weren't you just laughing hysterically for ten minutes while I was spinning you around in that chair? As I sat in the supermarket office and waited for the cops to arrive, a thought came to me. Maybe when they say "No purchase necessary," it's like some kind of code or something, and you're not supposed to dump cereal all over the aisle to get the prize. Maybe if they hadn't taken

The United Sates Food and Drug Administration has been protecting American consumers for around 70 years. The FDA assures the safety drugs, medical devices, chemicals, cosmetics, foods and additives by evaluating products for approval. Controversy has recently been surrounding the FDA's drug approval process, due to a general trend to get pharmaceuticals on the market more quickly. The FDA has been under pressure from congress and the public to speed approval, but pharmaceutical companies, who benefit more than anyone form accelerated drug approval, have also been applying pressure to the FDA through congress. The speeding of the approval process helps patients with incurable illnesses receive experimental drugs, but some wonder if the FDA is weakening its safeguards in the process. Since the passing of the Modernization Act last year, people have become concerned with the safety of dietary supplements and 'off-label' uses for drugs. In the past year, drugs have been approv

A whooping 60 of what's on our supermarket shelves may contain genetically engineered soya. Some 3000 genetically engineered foods are lined up for approval. How should genetically engineered (GE) foods be regulated? Foremost, we must clarify what genetic engineering is-- laboratory technique used by scientists to change the DNA of living organisms. DNA is the blueprint for the individuality of an organism. The organism relies upon the information stored in its DNA for the management of every biochemical process. The life, growth and unique features of the organism depend on its DNA. Genes are the segments of DNA, which have been associated with certain functions of an organism. Molecular biologists have discovered many enzymes, which change the structure of DNA in living organisms. Some of these enzymes can cut and join strands of DNA. Using such enzymes, scientists learned to cut specific genes from DNA and to build customized DNA using these genes. They also learned about strand

YouTube has become one of the most accessible ways to distribute video content to the world, and because of this it has become a great way to deliver information on almost anything. The content can be provided by anyone, from the average person to the largest of corporations. Searching key words on a topic will provide thousands of videos that have different ranges of credibility, entertainment, and also education. Through an in depth analysis of the content provided through the search of key words in the YouTube search engine it is possible to identify themes or the general consensus on a topic, if there is one at all. Aspects that can be analyzed to determine the themes and consensus of an issue are the total views, comments, creators, and title of the videos. An issue that can be examined through its YouTube key search is obesity, and through a simple search yields thousands of videos ranging from expert analysis to homemade opinion videos.The issue of obesity, especially in Ame

IntroductionAmong the millions of species that inhabit the planet, only twenty species provide ninety percent of the human food supply (Montgomery 2000). Since the introduction of genetic engineering, however, livestock and crops have a more productive future. Transfer of engineered genes from organism to organism occurs through hybridization, conjugation, and transformation in microorganisms. By the substitution of genes into agricultural species, biodiversity can flourish to improve social and economic development. Although methods of gene and DNA implantation quickly develop advanced products, even precise genetic alterations do not ensure that the environment will remain balanced or that changes in the genome will not occur. With careful design and a good understanding of transgenic organisms, minimal ecological and social risks will occur with the development of genetically engineered organisms.BackgroundTo improve methods of plant breeding, farmers turn to the hybridization of ge

Starch is a complex carbohydrate. Protein means a group of molecules made up of chains of smaller molecules called amino acids. Sugar is a molecule that serves as building blocks for complex carbohydrates. Nutrients are substances that all organisms need to live. Nutrients are also very important because it gives you everyday energy.

WEEKLY-HALACHA FOR 5761SELECTED HALACHOS RELATING TO PURIMBy Rabbi Doniel NeustadtRav of Young Israel of Cleveland HeightsA discussion of Halachic topics related to the Purim. For final rulings,consult your Rav.MISHLOACH MANOS THE BASIC MITZVAHMordechai and Esther, with the approval of the Rabbis of the time,introduced a mitzvas assei(1) which obligates every person to send twodifferent kinds of foods to one friend on Purim. Two basic reasons are givenfor this mitzvahThere are impoverished people who are too embarrassed to collect tzedakahfor themselves and will therefore not have food for the seudas Purim. Byestablishing a system whereby everyone receives packages of food on Purim,the rabbis ensured that even the most reticent of individuals will have foodfor the Purim seudah(2).Sending food to a friend or an acquaintance is an expression of goodwill andfraternity. On Purim we wish to instill and perpetuate these feelings(3).The goals of both of these reasons must be met in order to f

Martin Luther (1483-1546), and his concept of Christianity. Luther began his ecclesiastical career as an Augustinian Monk in the Roman Catholic Church. Consequently, Luther was initially loyal to the papacy, and even after many theological conflicts, he attempted to bring about his reconciliation with the Church. But this was a paradox not to endure because in his later years, Luther waged a continual battle with the papacy. Luther was to become a professor of biblical exegesis at Wittenberg where, in 1957, he posted his critique of the Roman Catholic Church's teachings and practices. This is otherwise known as The Ninety-Five Theses, which is usually considered to be the original document of the Reformation. Basically, this document was an indictment of the venality of the Roman Catholic Church, particularly the widespread practice of selling indulgences in association with the sacrament of penance. Luther's beliefs on the matter was that after confession, absolution relied up

HOTEL RESTAURANTS INDUSTRY FOOD SERVICE SECTOR IN TURKEYTurkey has a fast growing 5.6 billion HRI food service sector, due to increased incomes,urbanization, more women working outside the home, and huge growth in tourism. Major changes in the life styles, incomes, and consumption patterns of Turks in the last decade means they are increasingly prone to eat meals and socialize over food outside of the home. The growing number of fast food chains and restaurants in newly astablished shopping centers and hypermarket complexes are evidence of this newly emerging demand. A new and faster pace of life has also led people to find quicker meal solutions for their shortened lunch hours.This has developed two niche sectors fast food and institutional food service. Four factors helped this development1. Increased income levels The researches show that the per capita income level in Turkey doubled during the last two decades. According to purchasing power parity, per capita income was actually mu

Throughout its history, India has been invaded by armies, traders, and immigrants from all over the world. Major culinary influences result from significant historical invasions, including the Greeks, led by Alexander the Great in 326 B.C. Greek and Middle Eastern ingredients and cooking techniques are obvious in Indian cuisine. Moghul invaders in the 16th Century introduced meat and rice dishes to India. Portuguese rulers introduced chilies, and the more recent rulers from Britain in the 18th and 19th Centuries had an influence on chutney development. Interspersed throughout these major historical events were influences from Bactrian, Mongol, Scythian, Parthian, Kushan, Hun, Arab, Turk, Afghan, and Dutch invaders. In the northernmost areas of India, close to the Himalayas, the weather is temperate. Wheat is the predominant grain and meat dishes can be elaborate. Much of the food is cooked in oil. To the south towards the equator, dishes become hotter - sometimes fiery. Rice is the pre

The High Protein Diet ControversyAaron D. AndersonCumberland CollegeHealth Issues IISpring Monday, February 12, 2000IntroductionThe traditional dietary guidelines most of us were taught in school are now being challenged as a result of a new diet. Remember when your teacher told you that all you needed to do to eat healthy you just needed to consume a lot of pastas and breads and eat meats and fats sparingly. Times have changed. In todays fast paced world of dot coms and international space stations, everyone is looking for something new. Its in with the new and out with the old. It seems this is true with our eating habits as well. I guess we could credit some of this change to the rise of obesity in America. Whatever the reason, it seems that this new high protein diet is here to stay. In fact, according to a new breed of nutritionist, the wait is over. The answer this new protein diet offers for an age-old problem of obesity includes a 180-degree turn around in the currently accepte

ORANGESjack anderewsbio 20, period 2april16,2000ORANGEThe orange falls into the "citrus" category of fruits. It can be made into juice, which is familiarly called "orange juice". Orange juice is an essential part of the Canadian breakfast, that we eat every morning. Despite orange juice, oranges have many other uses. In this essay I will tell you about the varieties of oranges, its classification, uses, and other facts about oranges that I have learned.The orange, one of the oldest cultivated fruits known to man, have been grown for more than 4,000 years. They probably originated in the part of Asia that contains India and China. Oranges are known for their delicious juice and vitamin C content. They also contain a source of potassium and folic acid.The U.S is the second largest orange - producing country. They produce 18 billion pounds of oranges each year. 70 of them are grown in Florida, California about 20, and Arizona and Texas take up the rest. Most of the ora

Water is the most refreshing drink in the world, and probably the cheapest. People drink water because its easy to achieve and cost barely anything. Lemon is one of the worse kinds of grapefruit people eat or doesnt eat at all. It taste extremely sour and even bitter if you eat the skin. But if you add these two ingredients together, you get one of the most prolific drinks ever. There are hundreds of ways of making lemonade. From whiskey lemonade to chocolate lemonade, there is a very wide range of making lemonade. But the simplest of all these kinds is the water base lemon drink, where water and lemon is the two crucial flavors in the drink. Its refreshing, healthy, and helps reduce Fibromyalgia, a certain disease. It is incredibly easy to make, that even a 5 year old can make. But let it be advised, however, that without the proper tools and directions, the great American beverage is nothing more than acid in water. People sometimes have the tendency of making the simplest mistake, s

Kelloggs strategy was to produce a web site provided specific product line and brand information to interested consumers. The page displays particular product descriptions, nutrition information, and recipes. Provided as well are company contacts allowing direct consumer response. Corporation facts and financial statements are also available. The overall goal of these sites are to reinforce the brand images portrayed by the companies other advertisements, such as, television commercials, radio spots and print advertisement. Kelloggs does this by posting additional information about its products. New products are promoted in this site to entice those familiar with the Kelloggs name into trying new line extensions. Parents, those with illnesses or allergies, and exercise enthusiasts will find nutritional information about their favorite products. The site is easy to navigate through and does not bombard the consumer with overwhelming amounts of information in a cluttered manner. The site

There are a number of things that have to be done each morning to ensure that each customer has an enjoyable experience. This is one of the biggest sports bars in this area and attracts many from around the world. It is equipped with over 25 televisions one of which has the biggest screen within a 200 mile radius. There are approximately 75 tables located in this bar and at each one you are able to view a sporting event. Now that you get a picture of the size of this bar the following information will explain what to do when opening the bar.1. In the morning the most popular thing to drink is usually coffee or tea. To brew coffee and tea you will need three filters, one for regular coffee, decaffeinated coffee, and of course one for the tea.

Food ShortageOne of the most complex issues in the world today concerns human population. The number of people living off the earths resources and stressing its ecosystem has doubled in just forty years. In 1960 there were 3 billion of us today there are 6 billion. We have no idea what maximum number of people the earth will support. Therefore, the very first question that comes into peoples mind is that are there enough food for all of us in the future? There is no answer for that. Food shortage has become a serious problem among many countries around the world. There are many different reasons why people are starving all over the world. The lack of economic justice and water shortages are just merely two examples out of them all.Danielle Knight stated that The true source of world hunger is not scarcity but policy not inevitability but politics, the real culprits are economies that fail to offer everyone opportunities, and societies that place economic efficiency over compassion. The

DARDEN RESTAURANTS, INC.S STRATEGIC EVOLUTIONDardens strategic evolution has been centered on customer service and quality. This dedication to the customer has been evident since the companys inception and is demonstrated in its strategic decisions. Darden knew superior service was critical to his success. At 19, Bill Darden opened his first restaurant in Waycross, GA. It was a 25-foot by 30-foot lunch counter called the Green Frog that featured "Service With a Hop." While Darden Restaurant Inc.s tactics for attaining success have continued to evolve, its emphasis on customer service has remained constant. One example of this is the Olive Garden restaurant. Olive Garden is the dominant leader in the highly competitive full-service Italian segment, with a market share of 18 percent. The restaurants sales, which have increased for 19 consecutive quarters, were up 9.0 percent for 1999, which outpaced the casual dining industry. The Olive Gardens outstanding performance is due to

A paperclip, a lawn chair, a jelly-doughnut. These three objects may not seem as profound or enlightening as the three which Thomas Wolfe used to described himself, but they provide wonderful insight into who I am, how I think, and what I am like. The paperclip is a very simple object. It is very versatile and quite malleable, but remains small and nondescript. It accomplishes a specific task with absolute perfection, but does so without attracting the glamour of, maybe, the stapler or masking tape. Similarly, I am a very simple person, but am very flexible and open to new ideas and changes. Like the paperclip, I am a perfectionist, and I do prefer to keep a low profile, avoiding unnecessary attention if possible.A jelly-doughnut, strange as it may seem, may provide the best insight into the kind of person that I am. A jelly-doughnut, on the outside, looks like every other plain, bland, boring doughnut. However, when someone bites into a jelly-doughnut, that person discovers a unique,

Ireland is a country that has had many crop failures but the Famine of 1845-1849 was the worst ever. The people had become so dependent on the potato that when it failed they had nothing else. They had no money, no parliament in country to give them relief and no rights to keep them from being evicted from the land they diligently worked each year for their landlords. Many died, many immigrated to other nations but those who stayed cried out for security. In the years following the famine tenant associations, a push for home rule and the dissolution of the Church of Ireland were just a few things to change in Ireland after this horrid period in history.The potato became the primary source of food sometime in the eighteenth century. They are very nutritious and many could be grown in a small plot of land. In 1845 the first failure of the potato crop occurred, little did the people know that this would happen the next four years. Sir Edward Peel, Tory Prime Minister, saw there was a need

Johnsonville Sausage Co. a wholesale producer of sausage products based in the small rural town of Johnsonville, Wisconsin, has grown from a family home with a store front to a business that experienced 50 million in sales in 1985 and has grown to a business of well over 500 employees (case 1). Originally a retail based operation founded in 1945, the company decided to focus the efforts of its wholesale operations in 1965, with Ralph Stayers return from Notre Dame, where he had completed a bachelors degree in business. At this time, Ralph, who was officially named president of the company in 1978, and his father took a long hard look (case 1) at the companys retail and wholesale endeavors and made the decision to focus their efforts on building this the wholesale segment of the business, because it looked the most promising. The decision to concentrate on building the wholesale segment of the business and the aftermath that has been experienced by the company can be separated into two

The Grocery Store WarEvery person must buy groceries. In Brevard County, a consumer has three grocery stores where they can purchase food, Winn Dixie, Publix, and Albertson's. Although they are all grocery stores and they all sell food, they differ greatly in customer service. Consumers will shop where they best feel welcomed and receive superior customer service.Winn Dixie, a south eastern supermarket, has over 12 stores in Brevard County. Their company logo, "the beef people", definitely does not show what they think customer service means. Like other grocery stores, they have good stores and they have bad stores. Some good stores have smiling, helpful employees while a majority of the stores just employ "warm bodies". Although customers spend their hard earned money in their store, most employees don't seem to care if customers come or not. Furthermore, a lack in appropriate help shows. It seems that Winn Dixie does not have enough people working to assis

Carbohydrates are present in sugars, starch, acids, and in many other nutrients that consist elements of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Having a ratio of 1 2 1 or written as CH20. A monosaccharide meaning monomer of sugar is a "simple" carbohydrate. Containing backbone of five carbon atoms that are present in ribose and deoxyribose, components of RNA and DNA. Glucose a six carbon atom that is common cellulose, starch, and glycogen are classified as polysaccharide, Known as a "complex" carbohydrate, with straight or branched chains of many sugar monomers. These categories of carbohydrates are tested in two laboratory experiments. It will allow us (my partner and I) to detect the presence of sugar or starch. The first test, using two different solutions to expose the presence of sugar or starch by color alteration. I hypothesize that both samples of the experiment will result differently in order to pursue the next test. The second test consists of 9 food items, identi

Prediction I predict that the best way to keep coffee warm is to have asilver insulator because of what we know on radiation and silver being a pooremitter compared to a plain beaker or a black one. I predicted this becausemost saucepans are silver because silver is a poor emitter compared to whiteand black and also silver is shinywhich cuts down heat wasted by radiation.Research After making a cup of coffee it loses heat because of thefollowing factorRadiation Evaporation Conduction ConvectionRadiation The sun radiates heat throughempty space in the form of tiny waves. If you absorb any of the Sunsradiation, it heats you up. This is why it is sometimes called Heat radiation.Everything gives off some heat radiation. The hotter it is the more itradiates. A black area absorbs much more radiation than a white surface. Muchof the radiation that hits a white surface reflects away. A silver surface is apoor absorber and good reflector. An example of radiation is a saucepan. (Asaucepan lose

The food and drink industry depends heavily on enzymes.Enzymes produced by yeast have been used for thousands of years in brewing andbaking. High fructose syrup contains fructose and glucose in roughlyequal proportions. The high fructose syrup is greater in demand than pureglucose as food and drink sweeteners, because fructose is sweeter than glucose.Therefore, if glucose can be converted into fructose, its commercial value isincreased greatly. Biological systemsare increasingly being used in the provision of goods and services.Traditionally they have featured in well-established industries such asbrewing, baking, wine-making and cheese manufacture. Modern biotechnology alsonow includes the use of biological catalysts in products such as washingpowders and 'diet' versions of drinks the recycling or cleaning of waste andremediation of land and the use of DNA technology to develop new crops andmedicines. Enzymatic treatments are a now a major way of producingsweeteners, including

Lucozade, firstestablished in 1927 is now a highly successful soft drinks product. As timeschange so do people, so in order to keep a wide customer base Lucozade has beenconstantly changing its image and broadening its appeal to the public. Toinvestigate how Lucozade has changed its image between 1960 and 2000 we haveexamined three television advertisements that Lucozade used to promote itsproduct. The first one was shown in 1960, the second in 1980 and the third in1999. The narrative of thefirst advertisement is about a small boy who is recovering from being ill andhe drinks the Lucozade with his mother. The director has chosen a typical1960s family so that people can relate to it. The mother is a stereotypicalhousewife, who has been chosen because the main target audience is housewivesbecause it would have been the wife that did the shopping and she would be theone that would give the children the Lucozade. The girl looks angelic, like aperfect little girl, to give the impression th
