...Big Question * How do different colas break down the enamel on our teeth? * Which Cola is the most corrosive to our teeth? Hypothesis and Explanation * If an egg shell is put in cola, then the egg shell will become discolored and thin. It will be broken down because of the sugars, carbonation, and acid. The cola will have a similareffect on human teeth as it does on the egg shells. My Interesting Facts * Soda discolors our teeth. * Soda wears away the enamel on your teeth and makes them weak. * The Coca Cola left a film in the jar. * Phosphoric acid is also found in milk, meats, and grains. * Phosphoric acid has very little effect on our teeth. * The saliva in our mouth helps neutralize the acid in the soda, therefore acid has littleeffect on our teeth. Experiment: Materials Needed and Instructions for the Experiment * Materials: * 5 egg shells. Wash and cleaned of the egg whites and yokes * 5 mason jars with lids 5 cola brands. * Coca Cola * Dr. Pepper * Pepsi * Diet Coke * Big K Cola * Masking tape to label each jar. * Log book. This is how I conducted the experiment. I began by pouring one can of each of the sodas into each of the mason jars. Then I had my mom crack five eggsand wash out the egg whites and yokes. I then placed each of the shells into each of the five colas. I put a lid on each of the jars to help keep out any extra germs...

...Analysis of an argument 1. The following appeared as part of an annual report sent to stockholders by Olympic Foods, a processor of frozen foods. “Over time, the costs of processing go down because as organizations learn how to do things better, they become more efficient. In color film processing, for example, the cost of a 3-by-5-inch print fell from 50 cents for five-day service in 1970 to 20 cents for one-day service in 1984. The same principle applies to the processing of food. And since Olympic Foods will soon celebrate its twenty-fifth birthday, we can expect that our long experience will enable us to minimize costs and thus maximize profits.” Discuss how well reasoned you find this argument. In your discussion be sure to analyze the line of reasoning and the use of evidence in the argument. For example, you may need to consider what questionable assumptions underlie the thinking and what alternative explanations or counterexamples might weaken the conclusion. You can also discuss what sort of evidence would strengthen or refute the argument, what changes in the argument would make it more logically sound, and what, if anything, would help you better evaluate its conclusion. Citing facts drawn from the color-film processing industry that indicate a downward trend in the costs of film processing over a 24-year period, the author argues that Olympic Foods will likewise be able to minimize costs and thus maximize profits in the future. In support of this conclusion...

...increase revenues and profits in recent years in spite of much negative publicity and an increasingly health conscious public. This case study shows how the company has achieved these goals in a difficult trading environment. Summary McDonald’s has, to a great extent, defied recent difficult economic conditions and continued to experience strong sales and profit growth in recent years, as it has been able to attract diners with an improved and expanded product range while remaining competitive on price. McDonald’s has been the target of much criticism in recent years for serving large amounts of foods high in saturated fat, salt, sugar and calories. The 2004 documentary film Super Size Me brought this under the spotlight. The company responded to this criticism by introducing healthier menu choices, adjusting portion sizes and reducing salt and sugar content. It has also expanded its product range in an attempt to attract a new type of customer, most...

...An analysis of generic conventions with specific reference to the movie trailers Snatch and RockNRolla The aim of this analysis is to explore the different types of generic conventions with specific reference to “Snatch” and “RocknRolla”. Within this assignment I will look at the generic conventions of crime thrillers. I will focus on aspects such as typical situations, stock characters, style, iconography and setting. One of the most popular genres is crime, according to Stankic (2004) and Neale (2000) crime genre can have 3 other categories which have similar characteristics but different stories. These are called subgenres (insert quote) these are; detective, thriller and gangster genre. Crime genre (insert quote) The first trailer I will analyse is the crime thriller ‘Snatch’ released in 2000, which has a very gritty, de-saturated and dull look, it has a low-key lighting and numerous use of the chiascuros effect connoting this idea of a double identity or a dark side which is common in British gangster movies. It contains dark humour and historic references suggesting that it is targeted at a more mature audience aged 16-24. The non-diegetic music playing in the background is very high paced which adds momentum, the electric guitar pinches which is found in action movies connotes the idea that our stock characters might part-take on a mission, which is a typical situation that you find in heist movies. The beatboxing and drums are common elements that...

...overweight child or adult? Do your thoughts lead you to automatically blame the individual for not being more physically active, eating correctly, or do you blame the parents for not monitoring the consumption of the child? It is easy to automatically draw judgment on those that are overweight in our society because, although obesity is more prevalent in our society, it is still seen as socially unacceptable. This paper will seek to understand the contributing factors to obesity as external, internal, or environmental. Obesity in America A Family Epidemic In addressing the problem we must first discuss the main points that are essential to understanding why obesity is increasing in the U.S. and most of all among our children. The initial analysis of environment, choice of nutritious meals, as well as the influence of society will provide insight to the cause as well as the solution to the obesity epidemic. Once examined the data will prove the argument presented at hand. The main contributors to obesity among adults but especially among youth are, environmental factors, lack of choosing nutritious meals, portion distortion and the factor that fuels all of these, advertising media. So what defines an individual as being obese? Childhood Obesity Action Coalition-OAC.( n.d.) states “A child is defined as “obese” if their body mass index-for-age (or BMI-for-age) percentile is greater than 95 percent. A child is defined as “overweight” if their BMI-for-age percentile is greater than...

...Often we can find reoccurring themes that echo throughout out lives. Joan Didion’s novel, Play It As It Lays, follows the descent of Maria Wyeth, as she attempts to avoid flipping over any rocks in fear of what may be revealed. Born in a town now extinct, Maria attempts to assimilate into Hollywood culture—partake in the reality-bending nature of film and keep safe from the rattlesnakes woven into her desert centered past. However, as the novel progresses it becomes apparent that decay can only be subverted for so long. Growing tired of the never-ending parties, the perpetually heated pools, the necessity to assert identity only through outward expression paired with the unreliable perspectives of those around her, Maria begins to withdrawal from the game. Play It As It Lays explores the variance between external and internal truth. This examination calls into question the...

...of the study Davao has never been left behind in the latest bubble craze,thirst quencher, stress reliever, tea forever. Tea addiction that’s what some people called it, finally it’s here and its now viral all over Metro Davao. If you haven’t tried dringking milk tea, you better try drinking it, its worthy to spend a little penny for it. Milk tea it’s not just a simple tea. It’s a gift to us people during our bad days or the not-so-bad-days (stressful days). The “ancestor” of bubble tea originated in the early 80’s from a tea shop called Chun Shui Tang (春水堂) in Taichung, Taiwan. Unlike the fully loaded pearl milk tea, the oldest form of bubble tea was made by mixing cold black tea with fructose syrup using a shaker. According to Liu Han-Chieh (劉漢介), the founder of the tea shop, his wife named it bubble tea after seeing the layer of foam that ended up on top of the tea. After successfully marking a turning point for Taiwanese tea culture, Liu introduced the pearl milk tea in 1987. In the beginning, other ingredients were added to the milk tea such as fruits and sugar coated yam. (http://recultured.com/fooddrinks/09/the-history-of-pearl-milk-tea). Milk tea is a very sweet tea that is often used in boba. Milk tea/ Boba is a drink consisting of tea and balls of tapioca/pearl and honey.

...derived from the word "Jahurto", meaning "yoghurt" in Esperanto, a constructed international auxiliary language. Yakult contains 6.5 billion beneficial bacteria which is Lactobacillus casei strain Shirota. The bacteria in Yakult are resistant to gastric juices and bile. These bacteria reach our intestines alive to balance the amount of good bacteria in the gut. Yakult is advised for daily consumption to improve intestinal health and immunity. Lactobacillus casei strain Shirota in Yakult was discovered by Dr. Minoru Shirota in 1930. More than 80 years of research backed Yakult to ensure safety and efficacy of this product. Scientific benefits of Yakult proved to: * Improve bowel movement and aid digestion * Maintain balance of good and bad bacteria * Reduce toxins in our body * Help build the immune system (reduce risk of infections) The term Probiotics is derived from probiosis— a symbiotic relationship between two organisms. It is a live microbial culture that beneficially affects the host animal (humans). It also involves using good bacteria to improve health. Serving as great examples are the L. casei strain Shirota and B. breve strain found in Yakult servings. This made Yakult, a pioneer and a world leader in the field of Probiotics. History: “Little Bottle, Big Story” The history of Yakult dates back to April of 1921 through thorough studies and research of Dr. Minoru Shirota. Dr....

...Critical Thinking Student Development Unit 2005/06 [pic] [pic] Welcome! This booklet contains all the handouts and information that you will need for the Critical Thinking workshop held at the Student Development Unit. As well as the exercises we’ll be working on during the session, you will also find guidance that you can keep for future reference, such as advice on active learning and intelligence, models for critical thinking skills, and questions to help you think critically. When you are asked to complete an academic assignment, your tutor will be looking for evidence of these three skills: • Gathering of complex material • Making sense of that complex material • Communicating your understanding of that complex material to an informed reader.[1] The ‘making sense’ stage is the one we tend to neglect out of fear that we may not have anything of value to contribute. But, as the eminent thinker Edward De Bono puts it: ‘Thinking is a skill that can be improved by training, by practice and through learning how to do it better. Thinking is no different from any other skill and we can get better at the skill of thinking if we have the will to do so.’[2] We hope that this handbook will help you to develop strongly argued and well-structured pieces of work, and encourage you to build critical thinking into every aspect of your academic life. Be prepared to make some changes to how you work – if you always...

...CUTTING EDGE: OUR WEEKLY ANALYSIS OF MARKETING NEWS 12 March 2014 Welcome to our weekly analysis of the most useful marketing news for CIM, CAM and Sales Leadership Alliance members. Quick links to sections Marketing trends and issues Advertising Consumer perceptions of expense This study examines whether consumers make judgments about brands not just on the basis of what is communicated in advertising but on how the message is communicated. In particular it investigates the effect of perceived advertising expense and effort of the advertiser. An analysis of 4,000 consumers reveals that ads with higher-thanaverage perceived expense and effort have a positive effect on brand attitude, brand interest and word-of-mouth. In contrast ads with lower perceived expense have negative effects. International Journal of Advertising.
