...fresh for longer without the addition of preservatives. His juices were sold in small glass bottles which ensured easy transportation. The idea was immediately successful but it was only in 1949 that the Britvic brand was formally launched into the marketplace. In the years following the Second World War, Britvic went from strength to strength, building a modern factory in its hometown of Chelmsford. In 1971, the British Vitamin Product Company formally changed its name to Britvic in recognition of its leading brand’s appeal. In 1986, Canada Dry Rawlings came together with Britvic to form Britvic Soft Drinks. The company went on to buy the Tango brand from Beechams and acquire the UK franchises of Pepsi and 7UP. In 1995 Britvic added Robinsons to the fold and acquired Orchid Drinks, famous for its Amé, Aqua Libra and Purdey’s Brands in 2000.

...Field Of Dreams: Citi Field A road trip to a Mets game is always filled with anticipation of fun. The one and a half hour drive seems to take an eternity. Citi Field can be seen halfway over the Whitestone Bridge. Resembling Ebbets Field, its stunning architecture takes my breath away. In the parking lot, you realize just how enormous the stadium is. It looks so much larger than it is portrayed on television. Right outside the stadium, the song Meet the Mets is usually playing through the speakers. A loop of the PA announcer listing all the things that are not allowed in the stadium is played overtop the song. A security person gently pats your pockets and then signals for you to go through the turnstile. Inside, the Jackie Robinson Rotunda is beautifully designed with staircases and escalators to bring you to field level seats. To the right is the Mets Hall of Fame and team store. The hall of fame is filled with archival pictures and memorabilia. Straight ahead is a sculpture of Jackie Robinson’s number 42. First timers race to the sculpture to take pictures with it. At the top of the escalator, you finally get the sense that you’re at a ballpark. The aromas of hot dogs, burgers, and fresh roasted peanuts fill the air. The field comes into sight after you walk a little bit to the left or right. The scoreboards glisten from the sunlight. The dirt looks as soft as a pillow, and the freshly cut grass smells almost fragrant. The foul lines are pristinely...

...through the eyes of Jackie Robinson and experience his life and how he and Rickey Branch changed the game of baseball. Tygiel’s thesis in this book is that Jackie Robinson was the best example on how to produce a change in a society that has unfair prejudice by maintaining class and composure, never giving up in the face of racism and even harm to himself. Tygiel also refers to Robinson impact on the other African American baseball players who wanted to join the major league and African Americans as a whole to change the Jim Crow league. One of the strengths in Tygiel’s book is his attention to detail. The detail he put into this book had to have taken hours and hours of research to compile all the data he used. Tygiel tells the story the African American baseball leagues as well as Jackie Robinsons and even feeds information on how the leagues were formed and how the desegregation affected the players. One of the weaknesses of the book can be the long list of statistics. For a baseball fanatic who understands the game, the statistics may be a strength considering that the stats make sense for the book to go along. But for the average readers that might not know anything about baseball or the rules, the long list of statistics can get boring and confusing. Another strength is how the author shows how the desegregation started in the minor leagues, in the 1940’s and 1950’s. Before reading the book many readers may just assume that Jackie Robinson just appeared in the Major...

...5 Reasons Living in a Less Developed Country is Better Than Living At Home By Rachel Denning My husband and I and our four small children have been traveling together since our oldest was four and the youngest was 2 months old. We’ve travelled to Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Panama, Nicaragua, and we’ve lived in Costa Rica and the Dominican Republic. People from home often ask my husband and me, “Why do you live abroad, especially with little children? Isn’t it just scary, uncomfortable and inconvenient?” While I must admit there are a few ‘luxuries’ from home that I long for, like a library (I really miss that), the convenience of online shopping, and a well developed infrastructure, the benefits my family and I garner by living third world can’t compare to what we’re ‘giving up’. As a family, we’re driven to live abroad. It’s a part of who we are. Every single day the zeal we feel for this lifestyle is reaffirmed with everyday encounters. 1 – Experience Growth comes through new experiences. A baby learns at an exponential rate, in part because every experience they are having is new to them. New experience = learning = growth. As adults, our rate of development and expansion decreases, because the number of new and unique experiences we encounter plateaus, or even declines. Living abroad supplies new experiences every day. Eating becomes a thrill as you relish in new flavors and tastes. Driving becomes a challenge as you encounter new rules and conduct (or livestock)...

...As we go through life, we all learn some important lessons. In the novel Lord of the Flies by William Golding, Ralph is the main character that learns an important lesson about human beings. Ralph and the boys get started on a deserted island as a result of a plane crash. There are no adults, no rules, and no laws. There is just the island, the boys, and their free will. Ralph is the boy who tries to establish authority to keep the boys safe and in line, but he learns that the chaos on the island can lead the boys to do very bad things. Ralph has great leadership qualities, and he shows them throughout the novel as he tries to lead the other boys so that they don’t go crazy. Ralph finds this conch shell with the help of Piggy, and he blows on it very loudly so that if there were any other survivors on the island other than Ralph and Piggy, they could find them. He blows on the conch shell, and tons of boys emerge from the woods and come together. Ralph didn’t just get leadership, he was voted by the boys to be leader. He won leadership over another boy named Jack. Jack is one of the main reasons that Ralph has to learn a hard lesson in this novel. Ralph has to be strong in his leadership, and he has to be a sharp, quick, logical thinker. Ralph conducts numerous meetings of the boys and is very clear and strong in his messages.

...Jasmine Mince Rachel Robinson Final Professional blog Books On Screen http://booksonscreenblog.wordpress.com I was moderately confident in my writing abilities at the beginning of this course. I felt used some good writing techniques but there was definitely room for improvement. My expectations were to learn how to perfect my writing skills and to become more knowledgable in my grammar skills. I think my expectations were not met simply because I didn’t really understand the assignments given. Had I been more clear on what was expected of me in the class my expectations may have been met better. My professional critique changed in a manner of providing research that supported my opinions. I was a bit confused about what was expected from the assignment after my first draft was submitted because of the comment received in correction of the post. I attempted to be more clear in what my criteria for an excellent product was to me and provided more supporting details. I think I didn’t grasp the concept as much as I would like but I did attempt to apply the review points given to me by my instructor and classmates. I think I was an average student in this class compared to the level I would have like to been. One thing I would do differently is try to get a better understanding of the blog assignment perhaps by asking more questions or researching what exactly a professional critique blog is as I feel I really missed the point and that is reflected in my grades....

Two of the main characters are Robbie and Essie who are brother and sister. They live in an awful, poverty stricken environment in the old town after everything changed when their mother died at the hands of Doctor Robert Knox. Robbie Blames Knox for his horrible life and suffering as he believes Knox has not suffered yet and he took away the good life Robbie nearly had before Knox operated on his mum and this leads to his deep obsession with Knox. Robbie’s obsession begins when he is outside the lecture theatre and inside his mum is getting her operation ‘‘He had felt her pain as though it was his, it had burnt him and left its mark.’’ This suggests that Robbie suffered too and he is scarred by hat his mum had to endure emotionally and permanently. When she gets home she is told to rest but on the fourth day Robbie witnesses his mum in hallucinating and in pain ‘‘she did not recognise her trembling son with his eyes so wide and wet. She threw her sweat-soaked blankets off, rattled with bone-deep cold, screamed at the snakes, writhing before her eyes, vomited, clawed, moaning at the blackening rash that crept over her body.’’ This shows that Robbie is so scared and worried at his mum hallucinating and fighting infection due to the operation Knox preformed and this is the...

...Valeriia Karpenko ENC 1101 Professor Spera 6 October 2014 Power Every day people see “power” around themselves. When they go to work or school, when they walk into their classrooms, auditoriums, or offices, the first that they encounter is power. Power is everywhere. Power permeates every piece of the Earth. Power is on the radio and television, in your heart and thoughts. The definition of power is controversial because power is a loose concept that includes material and mental aspects. Commonly, people believe that power is connections, a successful career, and money. As a matter of fact, it is correct. Knowing “right people”, in most of cases, eventually leads to quick getting up the career ladder. It goes without saying that the higher position you take the more money you make, and money is a factor in many things that happen. People who have money also have certainty and confidence in their present and future life. Indeed, families with money can afford living in safe and nice neighborhoods without having to worry about being robbed or killed every day. Besides, they can meet the expenses of education, thus they have bigger chances of getting in prestigious universities even than people who has ever had only “A”. Also, the rich can see all the beauty of the world because there are no financial issues that would interfere with their traveling and visiting any place of our planet. All these factors give them distinct...

... Many people have heard of the legend the great Bambino. Babe Ruth was a hero because he was a person of distinguished courage. He was admired for his brave soul and total determination for greatness, but who really was Babe Ruth? He was one of the best baseball players in our nation. Sixty-eight years after his death and he is still seen as one of America’s greatest heroes. It all began around 1902 when Babe Ruth was seven years old and sent to live in St. Mary’s Industrial School for Boys, a catholic orphanage and reformatory that became his home for the next 12 years. Ruth was especially close to a monk named Brother Matthias, who quickly became a father figure to the young boy. Ruth was introduced to various sports through many monks including Matthias. Out of all the sports Ruth was introduced to he truly fell in love with baseball. When he was 15 he showed great skill both as an exceptional hitter and pitcher. By 19 Ruth caught the attention of Jack Dunn, the owner of the Baltimore Orioles. At that time, the Orioles prepared players for the team the Boston Red Sox, Dunn saw a promising future in Ruth’s athletic ability. He was with the club for only a short time though before he was asked to the Majors in Boston. Babe Ruth was an unbelievably good baseball player. He was one of the best hitters of all time. It’s crazy to think that people would actually pay to watch him swing a fifty-two ounce bat even if he was to strike out. In his first season...
