...Traditional Hummus Recipe by DedeMed, on 6 March , 2014 I love the smooth texture of this hummus recipe. The nutty flavor from the sesame seed paste combined with the tangy lemon flavor and a hint of garlic gives this hummus an almost three-dimensional flavor.

...meats such as chicken, lamb, and beef. However, there are also great dishes such as Falafel for vegetarians. Falafels are small fried round patties that are made from beans. They are usually a light-brown color, but may also be a greenish color from adding green vegetables such as cilantro or parsley. Served with these dishes is usually a side plate of their bread known as Pita bread (Heller, 2006). In ancient times of Egypt, people were served bread that was made by grounding the wheat and then cooked over a fire and with this bread they were also served beans. The variety of beans served included fava, lentils, and chickpeas. This is where the idea of Hummus, a favorite appetizer among Middle Eastern people, came about. Hummus is a chickpeas puree that is served with green olives and a small amount of olive oil. Hummus is usually eaten with the Pita bread as a healthy appetizer dish. For many Middle Eastern families, it is important that guests are served some of the homes favorite dishes. This includes various dips, cheeses, salads, and sometimes even fried meats and vegetables (Heller, 2006). As I entered the Caspian Restaurant I noticed the beautiful decorations behind the loud piercing music in the background. Anywhere my eyes would turn there were statues and pictures of ancient times. The tall white pillars in the restaurant and the pure white walls made the restaurant seem as if it was a palace. I had never seen a restaurant as beautiful as this one. As I...

...GM and Toyota opened a assembly plant in Fremont, California in 1984 to manufacture vehicles to be sold under both brands. The collaboration could be beneficial to GM because it was an opportunity to learn how a Japanese company operates and how to combine techniques to eventually make a plant that exceeds all others. The main goal of both companies was to learn how each other operates to mimic the management style and operations. It was also beneficial to Toyota because they could learn to operate in an American environment. The factory which was built by GM was taken over by the New United Motor Manufacturing, Inc. (NUMMI). The plan was to have car produced under Toyotas supervision in a Japanese way. When the joint venture failed both companies pulled out but GM first. When GM pulled out the plant was no longer viable. The main reason the plant closed was because the plant was not built to survive without a partner. Workers were afraid to lose jobs and mainly benefits. A lot of the burden was on shipping parts back and forth to facilities. When NUMMI reopened, GM workers were rehired. From that point things had to change from the old style of operations. Employee's were treated with equality and with respect. Under Toyotas system who set up a spot in the refurbished plant after reopening. Teams were organized. Jobs were rotated and employee's were given control over personal work processes. The operations system worked mainly my breaking down the job into...

...Hummus Bar A Companies culture is defined as the beliefs and behaviors that determine how a company's employees and management interacts and handles its outside business transactions. Often, the culture of a company is implied, not expressly defined, and develops organically over time from the cumulative traits of the people the company hires. A company's culture will be reflected in its dress code, business hours, office setup, employee benefits, turnover, hiring decisions, treatment of clients, client satisfaction and every other aspect of operations. (Kroeber, A. L. & Kluckhohn, C., 2012) Whenever a new employee enters a company the socialization process towards the companies culture takes place through two distinct ways: 1. The employee is exposed to the socialization tactics of the company 2. The employee seeks information about his role and the culture of the company. This eventually leads to the adjustment of the employee to its new role and the company’s culture, improving his job performance, increasing his fit and commitment towards the organization and decreasing its turnover. The organizational socialization represents six different aims: Goals and Values, Performance Proficiency, language, history, politics and people. The given case “Surviving Plant Worlds Hard Times” illustrates a friendly and open culture implemented from the very first day on from the founder of the company Myta Ong. During the growth of her company she spent less time with...

...There has been some discussion recently about the market in which we should target for our organic hummus product in the United States. As our marketing director has discovered people are turning to hummus as a healthy alternative to many of the common dips and spreads in the U.S. The trend is towards organic, healthy eating and our low-calorie hummus fits perfectly into this trend. This is the target market that we are going to focus our marketing efforts on. We can market the hummus as a healthy snack or meal for the whole family and display the benefits on the box for the customer to see. On the back of the box we can feature healthy cut out recipes that have one dip recipe and one recipe for children. This will help people who may not have had as much exposure to hummus to understand its versatility and benefits. The people who have been eating hummus for generations are going to continue to purchase our hummus because of the quality. To keep the packaging somewhat traditional I agree with the brand manager’s suggestion of using Aramaic-looking font and Mediterranean colors for the logo. Also, I found a great article in the Tuscaloosa News about hummus being the next big thing. It is great to see press like this and I strongly encourage all of you to take a look at this great article. Here is the link: http://www.tuscaloosanews.com/article/20070228/NEWS/702280308/1005/SPORTS0106?p=2&tc=pgP Please let me know if there are any questions regarding our focus or...

...------------------------------------------------- Soil EC and pH using 3 types of extractant solutions on different soil samples ------------------------------------------------- Ben Vincent ------------------------------------------------- AGR2IlS subject coordinator: Dr Gary Clack ------------------------------------------------- INTRODUCTION ------------------------------------------------- pH is in general terms the about the acidity or alkalinity in a soil or growing medium, technically pH refers to the ratio concentration of H+ ions to OH- ions in a medium (Handreck & Black 1984) and given in the formula pH= Log10(H=). Considering H2O is neutral the pH will be lower if the concentration of H+ is higher and vice versa. The pH is important because it will determine the availability of nutrients to plants, amounts of nutrients held in soil, toxicities in soil and life of microorganisms (Handreck & Black 1984). Dramatic changes in a soils pH will cause stress to life that is held within it, this is where the desirable ability of pH buffering plays its role. This pH buffering is the ability of a soil to resist dramatic changes to pH levels in order to avoid plant stress (Handreck & Black 1984). Measurement of pH is one of the first and most important tests done on a soil, however there can be a variety of difficulties as in nature and agriculture not everything is in a standard condition. There can be large differences that affect the data recorded with...

...Nutritious snacks and meals are vital to the wellbeing of children. Preschool children require high quality meals in order to grow and develop. This is to counter obesity and the life threatening diseases that come along with malnutrition and eating disorders. By providing a high quality diet and providing adequate daily exercise, preschoolers can balance their recommended calories intake and the energy they burn throughout the day. The nutritional goals that I would put in place for the children in my class are to: understand how food and health are related, understand portion controls and knowledge of foods that are beneficial to the body and food that are not. These goals are achievable by all students and families. It is imperative that children understand the ways that food and health are related. By eating complete healthy meals regularly, children are fueling their bodies, in order to perform day to day activities. When children are not eating balanced nutritious meal, they often feel cranky and tired. “Studies show [eating breakfast] helps kids perform better and get into less behavioral problems at school” (Haupt, 2011). Foods that have a high fat and sugar content cause children to become lethargic, cranky, and moody. This, in turn, hinders absorption of new materials and concepts. Poor nutrition hinders learning on a whole. “More that 60 percent of adults in the United States are overweight or obese, and there are twice as many overweight children and three times...
