...Bottled/Con Tap Essay Water-this element is important to our bodies and our lifestyle. But, what kind of water is better for us? The use of bottled water and tap water has been in this battle for an extended amount of time. Many people have debated that bottled water is much better in many ways. Other people had debated that tap water was better because of many reasons compared to bottled water. However, bottled water is a better consumable product that we can trust. Many factors add up to the reasons we think bottled water is superior. From convenience to health, bottled water has so many factors that make us feel safe to drink. The convenience play really big roles in water bottles. Water bottles are lightweight and are easy to carry around. Everyday you will see someone carrying a water bottle. Water is necessary to life and sometimes we might not have tap water around but you can visit any local grocer. Almost every store in the US carries these cheap portable bottles.“Consumers like bottled water...

...Marketing to minorities can be a sensitive and touchy subject to advertisers. Historically, minority groups; Hispanics, African American, and Asians have been targeted to sell certain products. This targeting has received adverse responses from these ethic groups. For example, studies have shown that there are more liquor advertising around universities that are popular with Hispanics and Blacks. This paper will discuss research on minorities utilizing secondary sources, summarize and identify consumer needs, perceptions, and attitudes; and concluding with an explanation on how minority consumer needs, perceptions, and attitudes may be used to create marketing communication messages to include two examples. Statistics state that in 2010, the Hispanic market was noted for being larger minority representing 16% of the United States population with African Americans at a close second representing 13% of the United States population. Smart advertisers understand that these ethnic and racial markets are lucrative and strategic marketing is important. But there are many advertisers that put forth little effort to target these groups. Multicultural marketing may only change the spokesperson from being Caucasian or portray a sad story to depict a minority situation. The advertising world often overlooked minorities all together. In order for advertising messages to reach minority groups, the advertiser must structure messages to resonate to each group differently. American...

...increases how fast water comes to a rapid boil. I will determine if water will boil faster once salt is added to it. The experiment will use identical pots, amounts of water, temperature settings, starting temperatures, and the same stopwatch to ensure valid and accurate results. This experiment is relevant to the real world because it tests if water will come to a boil faster if a common house hold ingredient, salt, is added to it. A1. Literature Review I referenced two studies before completing my experiment. The first is from the Museum 4 Kids website, which asks the question if salt is added to boiling water will it increase the temperature. The experiments objective is to bring water to a boil (212 degrees Fahrenheit) and then add in the salt to see if this will see an increase in temperature. The study used two cups of boiling water and had their control temperature at 212.9 degrees Fahrenheit. The study added one tablespoon of salt to the boiling water at two separate points. The first when the water first came to a boil and the second when the temperature steadied after adding the first tablespoon of salt. The outcomes did show an increase in the boiling temperature. First raising it from the 212.9 degrees F to 215.6 degrees F and then 218.3 degrees F. The second study I used looked at the starting temperatures of water to see if hot or cold water would come to a boil faster. Their hypothesis was that hotter water would boil faster than colder water because it is closer...

...The Bottled Water Industry and Its Impacts on Our Environment and Health Comparing with Tap Water in North America INTRODUCTION The world nowadays has a rapid increase in population, thus it leads to a drastic demand for water resources. However, in reality, there is only 2.5% of the Earth’s water is freshwater, and 98.8% of them is still in ice and groundwater (Peter H. Gleic, 1993). The water resources are distributed unevenly due to the geographic locations. There are about 884 million people do not have access to clean and safe water. (World Health Organization, 2012). At the meantime, studies shows that limited availability of safe drinking water, and growing awareness among people to safeguard their health using bottled water, the bottled water industries boomed over those developed countries (Anisur Rahman, 2007). From 2001 to 2011, the United States alone had produced 5,185.3 millions of gallons of water to 9,107.3 millions of gallons of water, and had an increasing revenues from 6,808.4 millions of dollars to 11,083.8 millions of dollars (Beverage Marketing Corporation, 2006). As the bottled water market grows mature, it accounts for 1% of total GDP of the United States and Canada respectively in 2011. This paper is aimed at critically examining the overall bottled water production and its side effects on human health and environment in North America. It is organized as follows: it discusses where the water from and how it was processed and its affects on health...

...finger over the paper and again rate its coarseness. Did your perception of the coarseness change? How? Record your reaction. Experiment 2: Prepare one cup with sugar water and one with fresh water. Take a sip of the sugar water and swish it around in your mouth for several seconds without swallowing it. Gradually, it should taste less sweet. (Dispose of the sugar water) Taste from the cup containing fresh water. Did the taste of the fresh water surprise you? How? Record your reaction. Experiment 3: Take about 15 index cards and a flashlight that is opaque on all sides (so that light shines only through the front) into a very dark room. Place all 15 cards over the beam of light. Slowly remove the cards one at a time until you can barely detect the light, and then count the number of cards that remain over the light. After a few minutes, the light should begin to look brighter. When this is the case, add cards and see if you can still see the light. Repeat this process of gradually adding cards over a 15-minute period. Were you able to detect an increasingly dim light the longer you spent in the dark? Record your reaction. How many cards did it take to not see the light after time? Experiment 4: Fill 3 medium-sized bowls as follows: Bowl 1 - with very hot (but not painfully hot) tap water Bowl 2 - with very cold tap water Bowl 3 - with a mixture of the very hot and very cold water Arrange them, so your right hand is in front of the cold water, your left...

...Rebuttal Article: “Hidden Messages in Water” Shayne B. Kendig BCOM/275 May 21, 2012 Abstract This rebuttal article is about how external environment affects the molecular structure of water (shown as crystal formation) – the controversial experiment was conducted by Dr. Masaru Emoto. He published these results as photograph collections: “Messages from Water 1” (1999), “Messages from Water 2” (2002), “Messages from Water 3” (2004), and “Messages from Water 4” (2008).(Retrieved from http://masaru-emoto.net/english/ephoto.html). Rebuttal Article: “Hidden Messages in Water” Dr. Masaru Emoto is very well-known of his experimentation about water crystal formation. He claims that external environment and human consciousness affect the molecular structure of water as shown in crystal formation. According to him, “We start out life being 99% water, as fetuses. When we are born, we are 90% water, and by the time we reach adulthood we are down to 70%. If we die of old age, we will probably be about 50% water. In other words, throughout our lives we exist mostly as water. From a physical perspective, humans are water. When I realized this and started to look at the world from this perspective, I began to see things in a whole new way.” (Emoto 2004) ...

...Analysis…………………………………………………………………….12 References………………………………………………………………………………………..13 Natural Gas in the United States Introduction The natural gas market is a topic that I had never given much thought. Prior to selecting this research paper topic the only knowledge that I had of natural gas is that it is an affordable energy source that was used by many families. Growing up in rural Louisiana my parents had a natural gas oven and heaters. My brother actually still uses the natural gas in my parents old home. My parents’ home now is totally electric and my mother complains about the utility bill and the slow cooking speed with electric. Those complaints seem so minute after learning about the dangers of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking. When first giving the list of research paper topics, the worldwide natural gas market and fracking were not on my list of topic options. However, due to my procrastination on choosing one of my first picks I had to come up with a new list. During this process I decided to Google fracking. What I saw was both interesting and disturbing. So I felt this would be a good topic to look further into. I guess one could say that my procrastination worked out for me. This has given me a new found appreciation for clean drinking water, the environment and family. I never would have thought that...

...temperature of water affect the amount of table salt (NaCl) that can be dissolved in it? Hypothesis: A higher temperature will increase the solubility, because the heat will cause the ionic bonds of the salt to be broken faster. Also, the molecules will be moving faster, so there will be more of a chance that the ions and water molecules will bond. Materials: Table salt (NaCl) Tap water Digital scale Hot plate Small beaker Paper cup Thermometer Plastic spoon Procedures: Fill the beaker up with 20 mL of water. Place it on the scale and zero it out. Fill the cup with salt. Use the spoon to drop salt into the beaker, and to stir the solution. When no more salt can be dissolved, record the number on the scale. Repeat steps 1-5, but heat the water to 50°C on the hot plate beforehand.

...Introduction Through this lab, we are trying to find out if 6 drops of the enzyme pectinase, 6 drops of the enzyme cellulose, 3 drops of each enzyme, or 6 drops of distilled water with be most effective in creating apple juice when mixed with 50 grams of apple sauce and then filtered. With that, we need to figure out which will be most cost effective so that the apple juice company knows which substance will benefit them the most. We are aware that pectinase costs $50 per liter and Cellulase costs $100 per liter, which will make an immense impact on the decision, taking data into consideration, of course. When conducting this experiment, our independent variable was substance type. Our different types of substances were pectinase, cellulase,...

...Summary This research paper address some of the issues surrounding cloud computing as a model for enabling convenient on demand network access to a shared pool of configuration computing resources (e.g. network, servers, storage, applications and services.) The term cloud computing means that customers do not own network resources such as hardware software systems or service; network resources are delivered over the Web. While both the hype and promise surrounding cloud computing continue to accelerate at a rapid pace, confusion still remains about what exactly cloud computing is the risk and benefits associated with transitioning to cloud base environment. Additionally, this paper examines the advantages of cloud computing as well as the different types of cloud computing. Lastly, this paper outlines recommendations of how organizations use cloud computing to controlling risk and cost effectiveness. II. History /Definition of Cloud Computing History There was a time when every household, town farm or village had its own water well. Today, shared public utilities give us access to clean water by simple turning on the tap; cloud computing works in a similar fashion. As one retrieve water from the tap in one’s kitchen, cloud computing services can be turned on or off quickly as needed. Similarly, at the water company, there is a team of dedicated professionals making certain the service provided is safe, secure and available on a 24/7 basis. When the tap isn’t on not...

...may not know what chemicals we've been exposed to, and we are not exposed to chemicals in isolation. With more scientific evidence emerging daily, it's clear the chemicals in our environment play a role in altering our biological processes. It's clear that our exposures to toxic chemicals and radiation are connected to our breast cancer risk. Life = air and water. Deplorably, both air and water can contain chemicals that are harmful to us. When it comes to the air we breathe, it's not just our lungs that are in danger. Air pollutants, chemicals associated with increases in mammary gland tumors in animals all are major factors to this pandemic. We are exposed to many of these chemicals in the air we breathe outside, as well as in our offices, homes, restaurants and schools. It's also very important to pay attention that most of the air pollutants are from just a few sources: primary and secondhand tobacco smoke, diesel exhaust and specific occupational exposures. Chemicals related to breast cancer also make their way into lakes, streams and groundwater systems. As mentioned within this research paper, the particular concerns are pesticides from agricultural and home use, dioxins and synthetic hormones that make their way down household drains. On a positive note, our exposure to chemicals and radiation is something we can begin to control—through personal, corporate and political action. Here are some of the chemicals that have been linked to breast cancer...
