...world’s vascular flora and constitutes the biggest spectrum of biodiversity used by people for a specific purpose (Hamilton et al., 2006). In fact, of the total pharmaceutical drug supply available worldwide, only 15% is consumed in developing countries (Lydecker et al., 1992), supporting the much-quoted WHO’s estimate that 80% of people worldwide rely on traditional medicine for their primary healthcare. The majority of these people are in developing countries, where rapid population growth is expected to increase pressures on medicinal plant resources. In the recent past the role of medicinal plants to cure various ailments has been reinvented. Increasing interest by multinational pharmaceutical companies and domestic manufacturers of herbal-based medicines is contributing significant economic growth of the global medicinal plants sector. However, unsustainable exploitation of medicinal plants has led to the extinction of many plants and many plants are on the verge of extinction. Internationally, the trade in medicinal plants is estimated to be worth $60 billion per year (World Bank, 2004) increasing at a rate of 7% a year (Koul and Wahab, 2004). However, very little of the raw material to supply this demand is from cultivated sources. Of the 3000 or so species known to be in international trade (Schippmann et al, 2006) there are approximately 900 for which commercial cultivation is underway or in development (Mulliken and Inskipp, 2006). Putting it another way, about 70-...

...La’au Lapa’au In this current day and age, technological advancements like antibiotics and medical instruments have taken precedence over things like home remedies and herbal healing leaving them practically obsolete. Through technology, many argue that we’ve been able to “improve” our overall health and extend our longevity. But through technology, many have lost sight tradition, the ways of our ancestors, the “organic” way of living. Taking a look back at our history, it’s clear to see that Hawaiians survived thrived even, off the land. It provided much more than just food, water, and shelter, it provided other things like medicine and healing. With the Hawaiian Islands being the northernmost Polynesian settlement and the most isolated, a unique and diversified plant life was able to develop. According to Gutamanis, before the initial contact in 1778, the Hawaiian culture was oriented around these ideals of harmony and interconnectedness. Hawaiians placed high value on the Hawaiian plants and were even called “gardeners” instead of farmers by Dr. E. S. Craighill Handy, one of the first people to study La’au Lapa’au in depth. Nowadays, many would agree that Hawaiian medicine was skillfully developed as they recognized the importance of both mental and physical health. In the same way, Abbott speaks on how Hawaiians placed diseases into 2 categories, causes from forces outside the body and causes from forces within the body. She continues on by saying that the first category...

...cigarettes within certain age groups. Exotic Smokes Cigarette Company has requested a study on how to attract the 18 to 25 year old age group, to candy and fruit flavored cigarettes. This outline will discuss competition, marketing strategies, program objectives and the scope of the research. The competition is rather scarce, as flavored cigarettes are banned in the United States (Quinn. 2009). So, if the ban is lifted in 2013, this makes the Exotic Smokes company a step ahead of all others. Now is the time to look into European competition, as it is possible for those in the states to bring these cigarettes back in a checked bag. If the ban is lifted, they may purchase these brands in the states instead of the ESCC brand. Honeyrose Herbal Cigarettes would be the obvious brand to look into, they offer flavored cigarettes such as Strawberry, Cherry, and Chocolate (Clove Smokes. 2012). Camel had recently made cigarettes with flavors like mocha mint, lime and vanilla (Szabo. 2005), however they are banned from the market as well. Other flavors were created by companies like Brown and Williamson and Kool. Once the market opens up again, they will be back on the market. The marketing strategy should be fairly simple, given the ban at the moment, however once it’s lifted; the research will begin at bars that still allow smoking. This will reach the 21 to 25 year old market; other eateries that aren’t necessarily bars could handle the balance of the research market (18-20),...

...Start My Own Business What new business would you start and why? What are the steps you would take? What type of accounting system would you use and why is it important? What are the pros and cons of owning your own business? Americans enjoy various entertainment places, such as beer bars, music bars, sports bars, gay bars, lesbian bars, etc. Coming from another country, I had hard time finding a quiet place where I didn’t have to raise my voice to conduct informal communications with my friends or with somebody important while enjoying a cup of fresh green leaf tea. I believe there are tea bars in New York or California where Asian people reside, and I heard that there is one in Miami, but there is nothing in Ft Lauderdale, where I live. Luckily, we have Starbuck Cafe, which is close to the environment I am looking for; however, it is still a fast food industry, where people come to grab a cup of coffee and go. Others, like me, try hard to find a quiet corner in all the noise. I miss the times that I spent with my friends in the tea bars in my country. So, I dream of having a tea bar here, where it provides a peaceful place for people to enjoy a calm chat while having a cup of quality tea, and a little relaxing time for themselves. Americans could realize the potential of slowing down and smelling the roses. The economic slowdown might be that opportunity for people to slow down and enjoy a cup of hot tea that they have to drink carefully and slowly fully appreciate...

I was once interviewed by the media to comment on it; I said that view was wrong. This is because the ingredients of liangcha really work to protect against climatic influences and relieve ailments caused by the stressful lifestyle, and they work with no side effects. Besides, the orders from overseas my company received have never decreased.” - Agnes Wong, administration manager of Wong Lo Kat Trade Development Company1 In the spring of 2003, while China and the rest of the world were suffering from the sudden outbreak of the severe acute respiratory syndrome (“SARS”) epidemic, the 175-year-old Wang’s Fortune Tea found fortune itself, seeing a phenomenal increase in sales volume of 400% from previous years.2 Wang’s Fortune Tea was founded in 1828 in Southern China by Wang Zebang , who is considered to be the founding father of Chinese herbal tea, a highly regarded form of Chinese medicine.
