...The growing need for water is visible in several countries around the world and one of them is Canada’s neighbour, United States. The growing need for United States of water is quite evident with only 5% of the world’s population; Americans consume nearly 25% of the world’s fresh water (Quinn, 2007). And, the recent development in news of a drought in U.S is affecting the food production consequently affecting global food prices. This article takes its position on denying the export of fresh water from Canada to the U.S for several reasons: Canada needs to fulfill its own demand; the impact this could have on Canadian environment; the feasibility of exportation; trade regulations and how this could have negative effects on the prices of global water market. Current and Future Demand of Canada As human population continues to grow, we see the demand for water increase, a necessity to survive and for societies to grow. Canada is fortunate enough to have 7% of the world’s renewable water but only have 0.5% of the world’s population. On the contrary, United States contains 6.5% of word’s renewable water and has 5% of the world’s population (Quinn, 2007). But, Canada has a bigger land mass than U.S and by which it’s reasonable to have this much water to support its vast ecological needs for its various species to survive (Quinn 2007). At times, we do forget that these resources are necessary for the survival of life other than human beings. Nearly 60% of the fresh water drains...

...CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION Background of the Study Aloe vera (Aloe vera) or in common sabila, is a short-stemmed herb propagated for ornamental and medicinal purposes. Many believe that all the parts of an aloe vera can cure different illnesses. It is widely use for its medicinal content. It is also widely use as hair wash to prevent falling hair and baldness. Bromodosis (smelly feet) is one of the problems of the office workers and also students. It is a common problem caused by build-up of sweat. Human feet have more sweat glands than any other part of the body. Shoes and socks can prevent sweat from evaporating or being absorbed, which attracts bacteria. This bacteria cause sweat to smell bad, leading to Bromodosis. There are many factors that cause Bromodosis. Shoes and socks made from synthetic materials increase the amount of sweat an individual produce and do not allow it to evaporate or be absorbed, so the feet stays wet. Another factor is hygiene, infrequent washing of the feet and not changing socks at least once a day can allo bacteria to thrive, contributing to foot odor. Stress can also be a factor. The researcher conducts this study in order to produce an alternative cure for Bromodosis which is convient and cheaper than other commercial foot products. The researcher also wants to know if, with the use of aloe vera, is it possible to treat smelly feet. And the researcher wants to discover other medicinal property that Aloe vera have.

...BUSINESS PLAN MISSION STATEMENT: Project offers immense scope for rural employment and education to farmers. The project intends to churn the vast potential of Pongamia Pinnata oil with regard to its value as an eternal source of energy. The plan is to market the methyl ester of Pongamia Pinnata oil as a bio diesel, to be used without any changes to the existing diesel oil engines and hence solve the brunt of the huge energy crunch that India is facing today. This biodiesel is a cheaper, indigenous and “eco friendly” alternative to diesel that will shake the roots of India’s energy shortage. The vision, by this long term economic and energy planning, is to ameliorate the economic condition of the rural poor. INDUSTRY ANALYSIS: [pic] PRODUCT DETAILS: The product offering is a bio-diesel called PPME (Pongamia Pinnata Methyl Ester) which is extracted from the seeds of Pongamia Pinnata Milletia. The plant can be cultivated in any region or weather condition; it does not need fertile soil thereby leaving agricultural land unaffected. Eco-Friendly: Pongamia adheres to all international standards of emission especially in terms of carbon residue. It does not produce sulphur oxides, which lead to acid rain. Carbon monoxide and un-burnt hydrocarbons in the exhaust is reduced by 50%. FINANCIAL PLAN: An initial investment of Rs 10 Million is required for building up the required infrastructure, procuring seeds, storage and transportation infrastructure...

...fracking, I had never heard of it and had no idea how destructive this process of extraction was. The further I got on this report, the more furious I became that this was happening on US soil, and not only that but people in the highest levels of government were not only sanctioning it, but using their power in public office to advance the agenda of companies that they were either running before they cae into office, or companies that friends were running, or were just giving them kickbacks, which would be the only reason that anyone would let this go on. After doing just a small amount of research you realize rather quickly how detrimental this process is, not only to the environment, but to the helpless animals who had had wells built in their migration patterns. Not to mention the helpless children whos parents had no idea what the were getting themselves and their families into when they signed what appeared to be a harmless contract allowing a drilling company to put up a small rig on their property. Who didn’t realize that in a short amount of time they would be able to light the water coming out of their faucet on fire, that their animals would loose their hair, have problems eating and die. The fact that any human being would allow this to be done to other human beings all in the name of money is beyond me, but I’ll get into that later. What is hydraulic fracturing anyway? The U.S. contains gas fields that rival the oil fields sizes in Saudi Arabia. Ironically, it’s because...

Although this point of view is prominent and relevant, the opposing side has an equally compelling argument. Global thoughts on the idea of fracking Globally, the topic is thought to be both “one of the best things to happen to onshore gas exploration for a century” (Nick Grealy, director of No Hot Air energy consultancy) as well as “dangerous to the environment and throws good energy after bad” (Ian Ratcliffe, campaigner with anti-fracking environmental pressure group, Frack off). The argument in favour of fracking is threefold. The first reason for the extraction of natural gases is due to it...

...INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL SETTINGS / DESIGNER CASE STUDY RESEARCH TASK FASHION DESIGN Fashion design - brand : CHANEL History of Chanel No.5 Chanel No.5 is the first perfume launched by French couturier Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel in 5 May, 1921. The chemical formula for the fragrance was compounded by French-Russian chemist and perfumer Ernest Beaux. The number 5 to Coco Chanel means good luck. She released this perfume on the 5th day of the 5th month and it's main sent is May rose and jasmine. Coco's famous quote on Chanel No.5 is “what is very important in a fragrance, is that the fragrance has some kind of mystery” The Chanel No.5 journey starts of in the fields of May roses at the Mul family's generations-old flower farm, in Pégomas, France. The weather is perfect for growing and picking roses: fresh and not too warm. Every single rose that goes into each bottle of No. 5 parfum is harvested by hand right there. A 30mL bottle of No. 5 parfum contains 1,000 jasmine flowers and 12 May roses - all from this same field. On average, it takes an hour and 20 minutes for a flower to go from being plucked in the field to being processed in the factory. Workers gently place the roses in the pockets of their aprons and transfer them into big burlap sacks; once these sacks are full, they’re loaded onto flatbed trailers and pulled by tractor back to the plant. Jean-Francois Vieille, a cousin of Joseph Mul’s, oversees operations at the prettily landscaped Sotraflor...

The business sectors of the United Kingdom (UK) is categorised into 3 major sectors namely Primary, Secondary and Tertiary sectors. The Primary sector are the organisations that are involved in the use of natural resources through extraction, growing and collection of raw materials such as mining, quarrying, fishing and exploration. An example of a primary sector business is Shell UK who focuses on exploring new global oil and gas reserves. While the Secondary sector is also known as the manufacturing sector, these organisations are involved in processing, production or refining of the raw materials from the primary sector into finished goods, this sector creates a finished , useable product like car manufacturers, textile manufacturers, oil refineries Jaguar etc. an example of a business in this sector in the UK is Kellogg’s.

...before. Why do gas prices continually swell? Who owns the oil being drilled and pumped from all over the world? Oil is a non-renewable resource owned by oiling companies such as Exxon Mobile, Chevron, BP, and other name brand gas providers. The prices are skyrocketing because of supply and demand. The world supply of natural oil is being syphoned and used every day at an alarming rate. Oil companies have gotten and are still getting their more than fair share of money for providing these fuels. In fact, these big oil companies have enough money to change their businesses almost over night. So why don't they, you might ask? The simple answer is that they are stubborn. Oil companies still see a profit to be made and seem to write off the pollution of machines and burden of the gas prices on every day citizens of the United States and the rest of the world. What am I proposing? Big oil companies have either nothing to lose or everything to lose depending on whether or not they choose to reinvent themselves to support alternative energy or stubbornly decline alternative energy to further pursue Earth's dwindling oil supply. Let's take a look at how oil businesses think and what drives their way of thinking. The supply of oil and natural gas is on the decline, especially for American oil companies. The land in the United States is not abundant with oil. In fact, between 80 and 90 percent of the world's known oil supply is controlled by countries like Russia, Saudi Arabia...

...becoming a significant and profitable oil company. Today, Apache Corporation is one of the world's top independent oil and gas exploration and production companies. The journey to this point was fueled by Apache's contrarian approach to business. Apache Corporation is an independent energy company that explores for, develops and produces natural gas, crude oil and natural gas liquids. Apache’s mission is to grow a profitable global exploration and production company in a safe and environmentally responsible manner for the long-term benefit of our shareholders. The value’s Apache was founded upon — integrity, respect, individual initiative, innovation, and striving for excellence. Apache's continued growth and global expansion depend on these values to guide strategies, decisions and actions into the future. Apache had just closed on the acquisition on Repsol in Egypt’s Western desert and, along with its partner Shell Overseas Holdings, had also acquired Fletcher Challenge Energy, for a combined cost of $1 billion. The value of such acquisitions, however, depended in large part on the future prices of oil and gas. To decrease its exposure to oil and gas price volatility, Apache had begun a limited hedging program centered mostly on its recently acquired properties. After initiating a hedging strategy, Apache Corp. is interested in revisiting its decision to determine if hedging is value-adding. The issues under consideration in this case are how Apache initially decided to hedge...
