...Commercial Analysis Extra Gum Commercial: The Story of Sarah and Juan Extra Gum released a commercial to touch the hearts of potential gum costumers. It is set up in the style of a music video to a touching love song. The video starts in a High School where are girl and guy, Sarah and Juan; meet eyes for the first time. Then Sarah offers Juan some Extra gum. The video then fast-forwards to Sarah and Juan after a date in a car and they have their first kiss. This kiss is also followed with Sarah offering Juan some gum. Then the montage quickly shows Sarah and Juan together in fall, winter, and even at Prom, after each Sarah continues to offer some Extra gum to Juan. Then as Sarah and Juan age, Extra gum seems to be a part of their life. Sarah offers Juan gum after their first fight and as she leaves to move away from him. Then as the montage emphasizes their love story and the distance now between them, it shows us something new. Now we see that Juan is drawing or writing on the Extra gum wrappers that Sarah gives him. Then when Juan visits Sarah in the city, Sarah is going to meet him. Sarah walks into a art gallery to find dozens of gum wrappers with pictures of each of the big moments in their relationship drawn on them. It appears that each time she offered him some gum, like the way they met, Juan would draw that moment on the gum wrapper and keep it. As Sarah is getting touched by the sediment, she comes upon a drawing of Juan proposing to her. In her surprise she turns...

...Internet Assignment 1 New Zealand Forest Resources New Zealand is a widely diverse ecoregion which is made up of 7 contiguous ecoregions. These regions are spread over 170,000 sq. km (or, 65,500 sq. miles). With only 5 major temperate rainforests in the world, the temperate forests of the South Island of New Zealand are some of the largest areas of native vegetation in the country. The New Zealand kauri (Agathis australis) belongs to the ancient conifer family, Araucariaceae, one of the largest and longest-living trees in the world. The most southern-growing species, New Zealand kauri, is restricted to the sub-tropical forests in areas north of latitude 38°. The Afforestation Grant Scheme (AGS) helps growers establish new forest plantations. Producing 100% of its products from plantation forests; the New Zealand plantation forests and wood products industry is based on wholly renewable resources, the industry is predominantly based on sustainable plantations of Monterey pine or New Zealand pine, and Pinus radiata, commonly known as radiata pine. Douglas-fir and various eucalyptus and cypress trees are also grown for timber. FOA members manage around two-thirds of the plantation forests of New Zealand’s 1.79 m ha plantation forestry estate. Over 94% of the plantation forests are privately owned and over 90% of New Zealand’s planted forests are pinus radiata. Forestry in New Zealand is geared to both domestic and export demand. About 44% of the harvested logs and various percentages...

...SCI-204 Prof. Dhalladoo October 31, 2015 This lab will discuss four points of Tropical Rain Forest. The first discussions will be on five products that come from tropical rain forest. The second one is five major causes of deforestation which I will give you some clear examples. I also will discuss the third one that cover two reasons why is so difficult especially in the Amazon tropical Forest, and finally the discussion will be on the Water and Carbon Cycle and how deforestation impact bout cycles. First discussion: Five Products that come from the Tropical Rain Forest. One of the products that come from the rain forest is the trees itself, the trees are used for many things example they are cut into logs to shipped to different countries, also the trees can be used for making wood use by the people and tribes who live in the forest its self to build their homes as well as the vines can also be used to make house births and chairs. The second product are plants and leaves. Some of this plants are used for medicine by the tribes and local people. Scientists use this plants for experimenting in the search for the cure of different diseases. One of them is cancer in Australia the scientist found properties for curing cancer and is tested in animals like monkeys but not in humans yet, they are still working on it. Third product that come from tropical rain forest it will be food products, for instants tropical fruits is the papaya or sour-sources, cacao the main...

...PHILIPPINE FOREST Under our constitution, a forest is legally defined as “that portion of the public domain characterized by a predominant growth of trees or wood species, including nipa, mangrove, and all lands of the public domain not classified as agricultural, industrial, commercial, residential, resettlement, minerals or grazing lands”. It is often said that life comes from the forest. It is an area of land where flora and fauna are present. Types of Philippine Forests: * Dipterocarp Forest Generally, dipterocarp forests are the major source of timber and other forest products. The dominant trees in this type are internationally known as “ Philippine Mahogany” the trade name of commercial woods which are light red to reddish brown in color. The apitong, guijo, lawan, mayapis, tangile and yakal. * Pine Forests Pine forests provide long fibers which are good in making strong material for cement bags, and also provide turpentine for paint manufacture. Pine forests are usually found in mountain region of high altitude, such as in Northern Luzon. * Molave (also called mulawin) They are highly valued for natural beauty and durability. Molave stands frequently in regions of distinct dry limestone ridges. Species that belong to this type are narra, ipil, tindalo, akle,and banuyo. * Mangroves (bakawan) These types of forests occur on tidal flats. They are found along the seacost extending along the streams where the water is brackish (mixed with...

...days ago, before being assigned this extra credit opportunity. The advertisement that I am going to be analyzing was found in a Cosmopolitan magazine only a few days ago. The advertisement is for Orbit chewing gum and at first the picture seems rather harmless. However, when you stop to think about what was said in the video shown in class, you may begin to see and think otherwise. As I flipped through the pages of the magazine I found myself stopped because of an enticing advertisement. This ad in particular has a very nice looking woman dressed like a Hawaiian hula dancer who is front and center on the page with only a small portion of beach and ocean behind her. All seems well so far, right? Well, everything would be fine or at least acceptable if things were not so bizarre. The thing that struck me as a little out of the ordinary was that she was not wearing a real bikini top or even a coconut brassiere. The thing that makes this ad so degrading towards women is the fact that this beautiful young lady is wearing two packs of Orbit gum tied to string to cover up her breasts. That is not all. On top of the insult that they would exploit a woman’s breasts to sell chewing gum, they make a poor attempt at witty-humor as well. This is because the flavor of the chewing gum that Orbit and the Wm Wrigley Jr. Company are advertising is “NEW! Orbit Maui Melon Mint”. This is particularly...

...sugar free spearmint gum go through change when it is heated? First, we must understand what gum is used for. One use is that it can be used to freshen up your breath. Also, a use for gum is to chew it when you have an upset stomach when Tums are not available. Another use is to use gum as an adhesive when nothing else is around. Gum’s melting point is about 125 degrees fahrenheit (mentalfloss.com). By knowing this we hypothesized that the gum would melt to a liquid. In our experiment we used spearmint sugar free gum of four different brands: Extra, Icebreaker, Trident, and Orbit. In order to answer this research question, we must first know the...

...considered a high-involvement purchase for most consumers, whereas buying candy would be considered a low-involvement purchase. Compare and contrast the websites of two companies—one selling cars and the other selling candies—and see if the sites take into account the consumer involvement levels in their site design. For cars visit the BMW website (www.bmw.com). For candies, visit the Wrigley chewing gum website (www.wrigley.com). After visiting these sites, answer the following questions: 1. Car buying is a high-involvement decision. What are the factors that play an important role in this decision? Give examples from the BMW site of how these issues are addressed by BMW. (3) 2. A high-involvement decision tends to be a rational decision. Still there can be a strong, emotional component to the decision as well. How does the BMW website address this aspect of the purchase decision? (2) 3. Buying snacks or gum is considered a low-involvement purchase. Describe how the Wrigley’s site reflects the different level of consumer involvement in deciding to purchase candy/gum. (3) Note : Use APA Format and team of 2 students to be...

...“POP!” Her gum popped in her mouth. The mint flavor was her favorite and now she could chew gum in class. No teachers pestering her over gum anymore. At least thats what would happen if she could chew gum in class. But she couldn’t, and that’s where I come in as principal. Allowing her to chew it when ever she wanted; all the kids chew it anyway so instead of having the teacher waste time yelling at every kid in the classroom, and wasting time everyone could chew it! By having teachers yell at kids for doing this, it takes away class time that is beneficial for kids to know. Envisage if kids had their own dorms in the school. Good idea, right? By having dorms in the school that could let kids go back to their dorm if they forgot a book,...

...Shannon Esperson ENGL 1302 Dr. Christie Position Paper Final Just last month I was in Las Vegas Nevada dancing the nights away in some of the hottest night clubs around when someone in my party got a headache from all the secondhand smoke she was being exposed to. At that point in time we left the night club and shortly after her headache disappeared; it was as easy as that. This experience got me thinking about those who don’t have the ability to control their secondhand smoke exposure and what, if anything, is being done to protect them. As easy as it was for myself to leave this smoky environment, a child in a smoke filled car, for example, would be trapped with no hope or realistic ability to escape the situation. Smoke free citizens have pressed legislators for years to make their work and public environments smoke free. Smoking cigarettes is now illegal in government buildings, and many bars and restaurants nationwide and yet only six states have laws making it illegal to smoke in a car with a minor present. Shouldn’t minors be afforded the same liberties we adults demand for ourselves? I have struggled in my opinion on smoke free legislation for some time now. As a libertarian who appreciates the least government involvement possible, I support the freedom we have to smoke in bars and casinos in Las Vegas. These are adult only environments and as adults we have the choice to engage in the lawful behaviors we see fit. However, as a pediatric nurse who witnesses...

...growth, rain, temperature fluctuations, predictions, parasitism, death and so on occurring in a relatively large geographic are tied together by some dominating physical feature. Thus one could envision ,and for example ”,the prairie ecosystem,”which would encompass a large, more or less self-sustaining, relatively flat and dry region in which perennial grasses were the dominant vegetation,characteristic native vertebrate animals were predominantly herbivores such as bis on and rodents, and the major shaping physical forces were fire,wind and extreme temperature fluctuations. If you're bored by prairie ecosystem,then of course you could envision a coral reef ecosystem,a desert ecosystem,or the most complicated ecosystem of all,the tropical forest ecosystem. In the absence of humane disturbance, ecosystem tend to remain stable for relatively long periods thousand of years. During most of Earths history, destruction resulted from global events,typically of geological origin,such as the drifting of continents and the rising and falling of ocean levels. The fossils record shows us that some,if not all,continents have experienced dramatic changes over the several hundred million years of their history. For example,Americas prairie ecosystem “bread basket”. The great plains,where most of our corn and...

...Environment, Resources, and Competition University of Phoenix Ecology and Evolution BIO 315 January 14, 2011 Environmental Ecology The ecosystem I choose to analyze is the tropical rain forest. These forests contain large trees and dense vegetation with warm temperatures year round accompanied by frequent rainfall. Tropical rain forests also have very diverse species of plants and animals; there is a very high level of biodiversity present there as well. Most trees have very short roots, particularly taller trees, while others have deeper roots. The soil is very thin because the tree branches and leaves keep the ground shaded and void of sunlight. This also makes it more challenging for smaller plant life to thrive, due to a lack of rich soil needed for them to flourish. Thus, small plants and shrubs that do survive must have qualities that make living without much tillable land possible. Moreover, animal diets must not rely solely on small plants and shrubs, because they are of limited supply. The temperatures of the tropical rain forests are typically warm with an average yearly low of 20C and an average yearly high of 34C. These temperatures are often accompanied with constant rainfall. Tropical rain forests get an average yearly low of 200 cm of rainfall and an average yearly high of 400 cm of rainfall; this combination create humid conditions under the trees and at ground level (Smith & Smith...

...PRICING STRATEGY AND PROFITABILITY OF HONEY MARKETING ORGANISATIONS IN THE NORTH WEST PROVINCE OF CAMEROON D. Malaa1* ; G. A. Muluh2 ; F. Kamajou2 1* Institute of Agricultural Research for Development (IRAD), Dschang BP 44 Dschang, West Province, Cameroon Tel 237 777 00 69 email: dorothymalaa@yahoo.co.uk 2 Faculty of Economics and Management University of Dschang Cameroon ABSTRACT This study assessed the efficiency of three honey marketing organisations, which emerged at the advent of market liberalisation, in the Bamenda Central, Belo and Elak- Oku Sub-Divisions in the North West Province of Cameroon. This research addresses the question: are honey marketing organisations efficient in their pricing. Two types of honey (white honey and brown fluid honey) are marketed, and the marketing organisations are judged organised and efficient given the marketing functions have been liberalised with little or no state intervention in the honey sub-sector. Honey marketing organisations are profitable with the return of profit margins to total cost equal to or greater than the minimum interest rate of 18%. Whilst it is recommended that actors or stakeholders in this sector should organise workshops/training sessions in processing and marketing to empower themselves, further studies should be focused on the cost of processing techniques.
