...Escuchando buen Rock como de costumbre y entre una vasta colección de grupos y artistas me encontré con Boston, tremenda banda de los 70’s, su música hoy día es catalogada como Rock Clásico, para su momento este grupo con sus riffs y efectos de sonido interpreto un Rock progresivo y futurístico, nos quedo en el recuerdo con muy buenos Riffs y una batería buena quizá no de las mejores. Hoy día sigue activa con giras y presentaciones El primer LP de Boston en 1976 vendió mas de 17 millones de copias, el sencillo más recordado de este Álbum es More than a feeling , este arreglo según Rollingstone magazine está entre las mejores 500 canciones de todos los tiempos pero el álbum en cuestión no figuro dentro de los 500 mejores álbumes de todos los tiempos, teniendo 3 canciones más igual de memorables que la mencionada anteriormente. Según la misma revista, ACDC con high way to hell que en 1979 vendió 7millones de copias en USA y Queen con a night at the opera (no el mejor álbum a mi parecer) en 1975 que vendió 3 millones de copias en USA si están en la lista, y en ningún caso la banda era su primer disco. Un éxito similar en ventas de Álbumes lo tuvo Whitney Houston en 1985 con son su primer álbum que llevaba su mismo nombre, vendió 18 millones de copias en Usa, pero claro Whitney no era considerada ni siquiera Soft Rock, no sé qué criterio utilizó Rollingstone para no poner este álbum entre los mejores, me imagino que Tom Scholz por ser Ingeniero Mecánico egresado del...

...REVIEW FOOD SAFETY & SANITATION INFANT BOTULISM IN HONEY By: Angela Indryana (03420100086) Zefanya Tjokrodiredjo (03420100087) FOOD TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT FACULTY OF INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGY UNIVERSITAS PELITA HARAPAN KARAWACI 2012 CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION Honey is a natural food, mainly composed of a complex mixture of carbohydrates and other minor substances, such as organic acids, amino acids, proteins, minerals, vitamins, and lipids. It has two sources of contamination with microorganisms: primary sources include pollen, the digestive tracts of honey bees, dust, air, soil and nectar; secondary sources are those arising from honey manipulation by people, they include air, food handlers, cross-contamination, equipment and buildings. Spores of Clostridium botulinum may be found in honey, usually at low levels. C. botulinum spores are found in soil and dust and hence, can contaminate different agricultural products. Honey is a recognized vehicle for C. botulinum spores. The presence of spores of Clostridium is especially dangerous for infants and small children. Although the high sugar content, low pH, low protein concentration, and the existence of different oxidases and other antimicrobial substances in honey may cause the spores unable to germinate and grow in the product, the microenvironment may remain anaerobic as a consequence of high viscosity. Yet existing spores may not be removed from honey or destroyed without spoiling the product, thus they may...

...The Beneficial Use of Honey in Wound Management Introduction The use of honey for medicinal purposes has been around for thousands of years. It has been documented to the era of the ancient Egyptians, to the days of the Islamic Prophet Muhammad, even to the battles of World War I. The use of honey has so far declined due to the advances in medicine; however, the improvements in antibiotics are not without flaws. Antibiotic-resistant microbes have proved to be a widespread problem in wound management in all health-care settings. This incline of antibiotic-resistance resulted in a renewed interest in honey for the use in wound therapy. Considered by most clinicians as “complementary” or “alternative” medicine, the purpose of the four articles on this specific topic was to provide academic thought into whether honey should be an acceptable form of wound management. The authors of the respectable articles thoroughly discussed each point of view in a matter that created a profound insight of the use of honey and its properties in wound care. Benefits According to Sharp (2009), honey “possesses antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, promotes debridement, deodorizes wounds, maintains a moist wound environment and stimulates healing” (p. 66). Honey has been discovered to be rich in antioxidants, maintains a low pH environment, facilitates osmosis to create a moist wound bed, and produces natural hydrogen peroxide from glucose oxidation. These...

Bees are also crucial in maintaining biodiversity by pollinating numerous plant species whose fertilisation requires an obligatory pollinator. Apis mellifera is a species that has shown great adaptive potential, as it is found almost everywhere in the world and in highly diverse climates. In a context of climate change, the variability of the honey bee’s lifehistory traits as regards temperature and the environment shows that the species possesses such plasticity and genetic variability that this could give rise to the selection of development cycles suited to new environmental conditions. Although we do not know the precise impact of potential environmental changes on honey bees as a result of climate change, there is a large body of data at our disposal...

...from Latin: apis "bee") is the maintenance of honey bee colonies, commonly in hives, by humans. Abeekeeper (or apiarist) keeps bees in order to collect their honey and other products that the hive produces (including beeswax,propolis, pollen, and royal jelly), to pollinate crops, or to produce bees for sale to other beekeepers. A location where bees are kept is called an apiary or "bee yard". Depictions of humans collecting honey from wild bees date to 15,000 years ago; efforts to domesticate them are shown in Egyptian art around 4,500 years ago. Simple hives and smoke were used and honey was stored in jars, some of which were found in the tombs ofpharaohs such as Tutankhamun. It wasn't until the 18th century that European understanding of the colonies and biology of bees allowed the construction of the moveable comb hive so that honey could be harvested without destroying the entire colony. ------------------------------------------------- Origins[edit] There are more than 20,000 species of wild bees.[12] Many species are solitary[13] (e.g., mason bees, leafcutter bees (Megachilidae),carpenter bees and other ground-nesting bees). Many others rear their young in burrows and small colonies (e.g., bumblebees and stingless bees). Some honey bees are wild e.g. the little honeybee (Apis florea), giant honeybee (Apis dorsata) and rock bee (Apis laboriosa). Beekeeping, or apiculture, is concerned with the practical management of the social species of honey bees, which live in large colonies...

...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.

...even exist? Fifty to eighty percent of food supply in the world is affected directly by the honey bee pollination (National Honey Bee). The honey bee pollination is extremely undervalued in our society because most of us are not aware how important it is to our everyday lives. The honey bee population is drastically dropping with twenty-five percent of the bee population disappearing since 1990, and a condition known as Colony Collapse Disorder is the main cause for the major decrease in the last fifteen years (Natural Resources Defense Council). While bees have become known as the summertime nuisance, they could easily be viewed as one of the most important species on earth to humans. We need to be more aware of how these creatures can help us and research may change a person’s perspective on honey bees....

...The Declination of Honey Bees Bees being such a small creature may seem unimportant, but they have a massive impact on how we live and now with the alarm that the honey bees are dramatically decreasing in numbers something has to be done. With honey bees facing so many issues and with the bees being so crucial to the agricultural industry. There must be many methods to control and stabilize the honey bees population. Honey bees are a simple insect that many people seem to overlook and take for granted their importance and according to Elizabeth Grossman, "One of every three bites of food eaten worldwide depends on pollinators especially bees" (1). This mean that without the honey bees 33 percent of the food supplied worldwide could be...

...20-minute pimple remover is my investigatory project where I will use simple home remedies to remove pimples within 20 minutes. It is a combination of the sea salt method (where salt is used to dry up the pimple) with honey as a natural antiseptic. This experiment includes common household ingredients and objects such as salt, water, ice, honey, cotton balls and a small cup. Salt is used to dry up the upper part of the pimple, thus removing the redness. Honey, as I’ve stated in the previous paragraph, is a natural antiseptic and soothes and heals the skin. Honey is also a natural moisturizer. It is also anti-bacterial, which means it helps with wound healing and it even keeps the skin hydrated. And ice because it diminishes the pores thus, constricting the blood vessels beneath the skin of the pimple. (Ice is gently rubbed around the acne-infected area.) Problem Are common household objects such as salt and honey effective pimple removers? Hypothesis Salt and Honey will remove the pimple. Independent Variables Salt and Honey Dependent Variable The presence of the pimple. Control Group Age of the person the experiment was acted upon must be between 12-16 Only the pustule type of pimple is acted on Significance of the Study If salt and honey will effectively remove the pimple, we will no longer need to buy creams or ointments to remove pimples. Scope of the Study Limitations of the Study This study does not include the cause of the pimple. This...

...Richardson is responsible for procurement of honey from its suppliers. Unifine purchases one million pounds of honey annually with at 50:50 blend of Chinese and Canadian honey which costs him $1.08 per pound. Unifine, apart from in-house usage of honey, sells 80% of its honey to one large franchise and his customers demand product consistency. With Chinese supply blocked, which is a major supplier of honey to world meeting 20% of honey demand, honey suppliers can demand a high price. Unifine’s purchasing from a single source in the past, exposed its buying strategy to unforeseen risks from sudden fall in market supply, and also proves that Unifine Richardson is no more sustainable than its supply chain. With fall in demand, Unifine is not in a position to bargain price. Its main concern at this time is to ensure uninterrupted supply so that its supply chain is not disrupted. Pincombe should decide to lock a price for Canadian honey to ensure smooth supply as a short term strategy. Long term strategy should include having diverse supplier base and backward integration, buying raw honey from local buyers and pasteurizing to ensure honey availability if this project meets ROI. Analysis and evaluation: Applying Porter’s five forces analysis for honey market it appears that buyers don’t have much influence on honey market. As honey supply has reduced by 20% in world market, suppliers are at upper hand and control market price. Honey market is influenced by government regulations...

...Honey and Cinnamon Great information!! Cinnamon and Honey...!Drug companies won't like this one getting around. Facts on Honey and Cinnamon: It is found that a mix of honey and cinnamon cures most diseases. Honey is produced in most of the countries of the world. Scientists of today also note honey as very effective medicine for all kinds of diseases. Honey can be used without side effects which is also a plus.Today's science says that even though honey is sweet, when it is taken in the right dosage as a medicine, it does not harm even diabetic patients. Researched by western scientists: HEART DISEASES: Make a paste of honey and cinnamon powder, put it on toast instead of jelly and jam and eat it regularly for breakfast. It reduces the cholesterol and could potentially save one from heart attack. Also, even if you have already had an attack studies show you could be kept miles away from the next attack. Regular use of cinnamon honey strengthens the heart beat. In America and Canada, various nursing homes have treated patients successfully and have found that as one ages the arteries and veins lose their flexibility and get clogged; honey and cinnamon revitalize the arteries and the veins. ARTHRITIS: Arthritis patients can benefit by taking one cup of hot water with two tablespoons of honey and one small teaspoon of cinnamon powder. When taken daily even chronic arthritis can be cured. In a recent research conducted at the Copenhagen University, it was found that when the...
