...Summer time is the season of the grill. Every year, when spring gives way to warmer weather, millions of people worldwide pull the covers off their BBQ gas grills and fire up the heat for that year's first taste of grilled food. If you're thinking about getting a new gas grill, there are a number of important factors that you need to consider before making your purchase. A good gas grill can cost a pretty penny, so you want to make sure that you get the right one for you! Where to buy While some maintain that the only place to buy good BBQ gas grills is at a hardware store or specialty outlet, the fact is that you can obtain a great grill at a reasonable price without locking yourself into those choices. Besides, the salespeople at many of those stores will often launch into a complicated form of grill jargon that will leave you wondering what the fuss is all about. Sure, surface area, burner types, and BTUs are all important factors in your decision. However, unless you're a long-time gas grill enthusiast, you'll probably have no idea what the salespeople are really talking about....

...Student self-study worksheet 06/01/2015 Lecturer….Mr Whitson Unit 609 Prepare and cook food by baking, roasting and grilling You are to research the following questions that relate to this unit: Q What does the word accompaniment mean? A. Something that you eat or drink with something else: A dry champagne makes the ideal accompaniment for/to this dish. List as many roasting methods as you can find A low-temperature oven, 95°C to 160°C (200°F to 325°F), is best when cooking with large cuts of meat, turkey and whole chickens. This is not technically roasting temperature, but it is called slow-roasting. The benefit of slow-roasting an item is less moisture loss and a more tender product. More of the collagen that makes meat tough is dissolved in slow cooking. At true roasting temperatures, 200°C (400°F) or more, the water inside the muscle is lost at a high rate Cooking at high temperatures is beneficial if the cut is tender enough—as in filet mignon or strip loin—to be finished cooking before the juices escape. A reason for high temperature roasting is to brown the outside of the food, similar to browning food in a pan before pot roasting or stewing it. Fast cooking gives more variety of flavour, because the outside is brown while the centre is much less done. The combination method uses high heat just at either the beginning or the end of the cooking process, with most of the cooking at a low temperature. This method produces the golden-brown texture...

...Team B’s Competitor Research Paper for the Mobile Food Truck University of Phoenix MKT/431 March 4, 2013 Gail Lorber Introduction B's Mobile Food Truck is a business that will offer the convenience of serving foods to their customers from a traveling truck. The food truck will be located near businesses, which will allow the customers quick access to the service. Customers will have different food choices to choose. However, quick access to the food service cause the company to compete against such companies as gas station, restaurants, grocery stores, and smoothie juice restaurants. Each of these businesses offers the service of prepared and ready-to-go foods and healthy choices. Each also allows convenience service. B's Mobile Food Truck must realize these businesses will be in constant competition against the mobile food truck. Mobile Food Truck Competitors Gas station food has earned a bad reputation over the last 20 years for various reasons. Usually the only things to be found are old hot dogs, stale donuts, slushes, and tightly wrapped tasteless sandwiches that have some sort of gross cheese that most people could not identify. Several gas stations have gotten into a different range of foods, trying to expand on better choices to boost the income. Many gas stations have either joined up with franchises such as McDonald’s, Subway or a pizza place to diversify their food attractions from the common place soggy sandwiches and sodas...

...| Green Bank Report: Finding the best green banking deals and rates * Home * Eco-Friendly Banking * iPhone * Green Bank Deals * Credit Cards * Savings Rates * Checking Accounts * CD Rates What is the Meaning of Green Banking? Posted by Clark Schultz on Friday, September 10, 2010 · Leave a Comment Defining green banking is relatively easy. It means promoting environmental-friendly practices and reducing your carbon footprint from your banking activities. This comes in many forms. Using online banking instead of branch banking. Paying bills online instead of mailing them. Opening up CDs and money market accounts at online banks, instead of large multi-branch banks. Or finding the local bank in your area that is taking the biggest steps to support local green initiatives. Any combination of the above personal banking practices can help the environment. So this leads to the question, which banks are green. In general, online banks and smaller community banks have better track record than larger banks. For instance, take a look at the banks that British Petroleum has been reported to seek lines of credit from this past summer after the oil spill. Goldman Sachs (GS) Citigroup (C) JP Morgan (JPM) Bank of America (BAC) These banks have at least one thing in common. That is, they are all large billion-dollar asset banks. They are also in the group of banks that received TARP money in the government bank bailout program. In would seem common...

...>cases Ramada Demonstates Its Personal Best® >Abstract This case describes syndicated research in the hospitality industry that revealed trends in customer satisfaction and Ramada’s proprietary research leading to the development of the Personal Best™ employee hiring, training and motivation program. www.ramada.com >The Scenario In 1996 the latest D. K. Shifflet survey of customer satisfaction in the hospitality industry showed mid-tier hotels continuing their downward trend in perceived customer service, reflected by more and more respondents giving ratings on customer service in the 7 or lower range on Shifflet’s 10-point scale. While Ramada’s satisfaction rates held steady, “It was only a matter of time before we experienced the problem,” says Tim Pigsley, director of operations for Ramada Franchise Systems (RFS). Shifflet research highlighted three critical areas for study that could influence customer satisfaction: hiring (finding the best people to deliver Ramada’s brand of exceptional service), training (giving employees the tools to deliver exceptional service), and motivation (providing the impetus for Ramada employees to deliver exceptional service). Unlike some of its competitors, RFS is a totally franchised system. In such an environment, not only must headquarters contend with the variable human factor of all service operations, but additionally, RFS must contend with differing “exceptional service” standards among owners of the nearly 900 Ramada properties...

...major contributors for greenhouse gases. Hence, with the intention of reducing the energy usage which reduces the environmental pollution energy efficient measures have been introduced. The goal of these measures is to decrease the energy use of the building substantially and provide the building's energy needs with on-site renewable energy supply like Photovoltaics. This results in a concept called Net zero energy buildings or Zero Energy Buildings. Zero energy building (ZEB) is a building with zero energy consumption i.e., it consumes only the amount of energy generated by the renewable power on the building site. NZEBs produce zero carbon emissions annually as various renewable energy technologies are deployed on the building site. This paper addresses the energy efficient measures that can be implemented to cut down the power consumption. The energy efficient features implemented in ZEBs for energy savings is justified with a case study. I. INTRODUCTION The environmental effects that Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions across countries at different levels of development received global attention on what has been done to mitigate these emissions. The continued growth of global emissions of carbon dioxide due to energy consumption and their adverse effects on global warming forces the world to save the environment from further damage. As per EPA in 2011, the combustion of fuels to electrify the homes, buildings and industry in U.S. accounted to 38%...

...a-C:H film using an oxygen-acetylene torch is included. INTRODUCTION Several review papers portray the preparation and state of the art of DLC films [1-5]. There are basically two different types of DLC films: amorphous hydrogenated carbon (a-C:H), and amorphous carbon (a-C). They are differentiated on the number of sp3 (diamond like) vs. sp2 (graphite like) bonds, and the role that hydrogen (or OH) plays in the formation and structure of the film. A diamond like structure exists when sp3 bonds form between carbon atoms during the growing of a carbon film. The sp3 fraction is defined as: (Eq. 1) As the sp3 fraction increases the film tend more towards diamond properties and behavior. Diamond is a crystal with sp3 fraction of 1. The first kind of DLC, that we will refer to as Amorphous Hydrogenated Carbon (a-C:H), hydrogen plays a fundamental role. A diamond like structure will not form without the presence of hydrogen, which can have a concentration up to 50% (atomic) of the final film obtained. The sp3 fraction in a-C:H films is usually less than 50%. There are an assortment of techniques used to deposit a-C:H films [1], all essentially based on chemical vapor deposition (CVD). The more common ones are: hot filament CVD, microwave plasma CVD, plasma jet, arc jet, plasma torch, and even the simple oxyacetylene welding torch [6]. All these techniques work by activating the gas phase carbon-containing precursor. The precursor (say CH4) has to be diluted in an excess...

Pancho Course Adviser Group Members: Flor, Karen May B. Gabriel, Joana Kathrina A. Mendoza, Beatrice Mae D. Valdez, Joanna Jean T. April 2016 CHAPTER 2 MARKETING PLAN A. Product/Service Description The product that the producers made is a burger patties made by Solanum Melongena or Eggplant which is also known as Aubergine. It is a new kind of burger that may not yet be in the market but if given a chance of being produced, it will be very beneficial to the customers. With Eggplant as its main ingredient of the product, it will be called as “E – Plant Burger”. The “E” came from the word Egg which originated from the initial letter of the main ingredient itself. Though Eggplant has many varieties, the producers used the Japanese Eggplant which is long, heavy, purplish-black in color and glossy in appearance. They get very soft when cooked and can be the perfect vegetable to form into a burger patties. It will be served inside a bun with lettuce, tomato, onion, cucumber, cheese and condiments such as mayonnaise and ketchup. Eggplant might not be the first thing that comes to our mind when we heard the word burger but now, our perspective...

...Kelsey Squiers PP&D 212 March 14, 2014 University of California Biking Proposal – Environmental Impacts Background In the spring of 2013, the University of California, Irvine (UCI) was ranked by the League of American Bicyclists (LAB), one of the most respected bicycle advocacy associations in the country, as a Silver level bike-friendly university. The LAB’s ranking system is based on five “E” aspects (engineering, education, encouragement, enforcement, and evaluation). A Silver ranking means that UCI “[d]efinitely feel[s] welcoming to bikes but there is still usually work to be done in two or three of the “E”s to undergird the bicycling culture and opportunities” (bikeleague.org). While UCI provides sustainable transportation incentives, has some infrastructure for biking, a bike-rental program, and is home to a few bike-enthusiast clubs, the campus is falls short in three of the LAB’s “E”s: Engineering, Education, and Encouragement. Engineering: There are three types of bicycle routes on the UCI campus. These include dedicated bicycle paths, pedestrian/bicycle shared paths, roads with bike lanes, and a small number of sharrows (located on the roads within housing complexes). Currently, there are only three distinct sections of the UCI campus that have dedicated bicycle lanes, which are all located on the outskirts of campus. The most commonly used bike path within the UCI campus is a mixed pedestrian/bicycle path encircling Aldrich Park. Roads with bike lanes make...

When set up properly, just one or two of these ingenious devices can kill thousands of mosquitoes and all but wipe out a local population. The style of trap varies by brand, but generally they range from indoor units the size of air purifiers to large units that resemble barbecue grills. Some run on electricity, while others are powered by propane tanks. You can easily reduce the number of mosquitoes on your property with a plastic bottle trap that will attract and kill the mosquitoes. The liquid in each trap will last about two weeks, and then, it can be easily replaced. For increased effectiveness, place multiple traps around your house or property. Procedure Used Get a large 2 liter Coke/Pepsi/Fanta, etc plastic soda bottle. This is the kind that takes a couple of hands to hold onto. Empty the bottle by drinking or draining. Take the cap off and throw away. Just below the point where the neck of the bottle straightens out onto the body of the...
