Mass immigration in the period 1945-c.70 a Essay
Was Britainââ¬â¢s approach to mass immigration in the period 1945-c.70 a success or a failure? The question of whether Britainââ¬â¢s approach to mass immigration in the period 1945 ââ¬â c.1970 was a success or a failure is not as straightforward as it first may seem. Unpacking the question a little will help. Firstly, it is important to consider what is meant by Britain? Should it be taken to mean the government or the people, and which people? Britainââ¬â¢s approachââ¬â¢ might be thought more likely to refer to government but clearly many British people having nothing to do with government also encountered mass migration and migrants in one way or another and therefore can be said to have had an approach to it. Also, the idea of a singular ââ¬Ëapproachââ¬â¢ over some 25 years is misleading. A variety of governments were incumbent over this period and therefore a variety of approaches to mass immigration might be expected. British society also experienced significant changes from the trauma of World War 2, the immediate post-war period and decolonisation to the 1970s and thus approaches and reactions amongst the population at large are bound to be many and varied as well. Then, finally, there is the question of success and failure. In objective history how are success and failure to be judged? There is no very satisfactory answer to such subjective notions. It might best be determined on a policy basis, either governmental or non-governmental, but that is still a rather narrow view. This essay will examine selectively both governmental and non-governmental approaches to mass immigration into Britain from 1945-1971 in a broadly chronological framework, beginning with the immediate post-war period and Polish settlement, before turning to what has been termed colonial or New Commonwealth immigration. Government policy will be analysed as will some of the social effects of and response these to migrations. Finally, the governmental approach to mass immigration from Ireland will be examined and contrasted with the former examples before a conclusion and answer is attempted. It should be noted at the outset that it is not possible in the space provide to include discussion of every immigrant population group, nor to examine satisfactorily the responses of the population at large but the groups discussed herein have been chosen on the basis of numbers. That the reconstruction of the Britain after World War 2 would require labour was already a concern of the government in 1944, who appointed a Royal Commission to assess the matter of population. This Commission reported in 1949 that immigration could be welcomed without reserve ââ¬Ëif the migrants were of good human stock and were not prevented by their religion or race from intermarrying with the host population and becoming merged into itââ¬â¢. An indication of who constituted acceptable migrants had already been given by the government. At the end of World War 2 there were perhaps 500,000 Poles in Britain. While initially the government favoured voluntary repatriation for the Poles, the advent and recognition of a USSR dominated communist Poland was off-putting or impossible to many. Recognising the potential offered by the Poles, the Polish Resettlement Corps (PRC) was formed in 1946 to help in their transition to civilian life in Britain. This was followed in 1947 by the Polish Resettlement Act. The dependents of those who enrolled in the PRC were also admitted to Britain and by 1948 there were approximately 114,000 enrolled in the PRC and 33,000 dependents. Layton-Henry has concluded that, while sympathy for the Poles existed because of the war and the Soviet annexation of their country, ââ¬Ëthe main reason for the successful integration of the Polish ex-servicemen and their families was the acute shortage of labour at the end of the warââ¬â¢ although there was some opposition from people and trade unions. Post-war Britain was still imperial and colonial (though undergoing an ongoing process of decolonisation), if no longer a power, and as British subjects ââ¬Ëcolonial immigrants had the right of access to Britain and full rights of citizenship, including voting rights, the right to work in the civil service and the right to serve in the armed forcesââ¬â¢. Notable in discussions about colonial immigration are the West Indies and the Indian subcontinent and it is immigration from these areas that shall be considered below. In both the West Indies and the Subcontinent there was an awareness of the labour market in Britain ââ¬â during the war colonial labour had been widely used, with some settlement resulting. In India, Britain had gained a reputation as a land of milk and honey and mutual knowledge was undoubtedly increased by the war. The increasing migration of West Indians to Britain began in 1948, the Empire Windrush leaving Kingston on the 8th of June with 492 passengers bound for a new life with their right, and that of other citizens of colonies or Commonwealth countries, to free entry guaranteed by the British Nationality Act 1948. The demand for labour in Britain and the poverty of some the West Indies were the main factors leading to the migration, but also important was the especially Jamaican tradition of labour migration. Many had traditionally gone to the nearby and rich US, but this was severely restricted in 1952, directing migrants to the UK. Although much West Indian migration to Britain was done in the hope of better prospects, direct recruitment also took place, for example between the London Transport Executive and the Barbadian Immigrantsââ¬â¢ Liaison Service and the NHS. Similarly, mass migration of Hindus, Sikhs and Muslims from India and Pakistan was to increase in the 1950s and 1960s. Many factors governed this, such as the economic opportunities presented by Britain, pressure for land and unemployment following limited industrialisation. In both cases, travel agents, family reunions and chain migration helped to drive numbers, with the arrival of dependents often signalling a shift from temporary to permanent migration.

Estimated net immigration from the New Commonwealth (* first six months) It has been said that after the war, the British Labour government maintained an ââ¬Ëopen doorââ¬â¢ policy to immigration, deliberately settling some groups and encouraging others, although the racism of the Royal Commission Report which followed naturally from the racism strong among the government, armed forces and civil service before and during the war remained present. Of particular concern were the immigrantsââ¬â¢ visibility and ability to assimilate into British society, obviously favouring white Christians. In early 1950 an interdepartmental working committee recommended discouraging colonial immigration at source, tightening up entry requirements and encouraging voluntary repatriation. The immigration of coloured people was now being seen as a problem in several areas of British life although because of the small numbers involved, the Labour government chose not to act and curtail the traditional rights of citizens. The new Conservative government of 1951 were also concerned with avoiding the creation of, in Churchillââ¬â¢s words, ââ¬Ëa magpie societyââ¬â¢. Both Labour and Conservative governments from 1948-62 were involved in the ââ¬Ëcomplex political and ideological racialisation of immigration policyââ¬â¢ and had by 1952 ââ¬Ëinstituted some covert, and sometimes illegal, administrative measures to discourage black immigrationââ¬â¢. Debate continued throughout the 1950s about non-white immigration and social problems that were, in the minds of some, intimately connected with it. Where blacks had settled in Britain before the war, racial prejudice was already a factor but during the war, when co-operation and unity were vital, it may have lessened for a time. For non-white immigrants the post-war era revealed continuing hostility and vilification from various parts of society, including in Stepney a priest who considered that blacks posed a social and moral problem. Incidents of violence occurred in the late 1940s between whites, sometimes Irish immigrants, and non-whites in Birmingham, Liverpool and London. These continued sporadically, leading to the much publicised Notting Hill and Nottingham riots in 1958 and the again in 1968. There were problems on both sides including discrimination against non-whites in employment and housing while some whites also worried about these issues and it seems that certain employers and landlords, seeking to maximise their profits took advantage of the situation. Despite such extreme incidents we must contrast also the less high profile friendly and welcoming approach of some people. It would indeed be inappropriate and inaccurate to generalise about the approach to mass immigration by the public and individual local circumstances must always be considered. However, it has been said that post-war British society was still very traditional, and despite the empire, very insular for the majority of British people. This, combined with the pride of empire and the recent defeat of Germany, exacerbated by the natural British superiority taught in schools, could easily lead to a negative attitude to immigrants. In 1962 the Commonwealth Immigration Act was passed by a Conservative government, legally restricting for the first time immigration from the Commonwealth. It was attacked by some sections of Labour and the media press as a response to ââ¬Ëcrude racist pressuresââ¬â¢. Other Labour members, however, supported and had campaigned for stricter immigration controls, sometimes even stricter than that of 1962 and eventually Labour u-turned on the issue of repealing the Act. In fact, the looming prospect of strict regulation of immigration from the New Commonwealth speeded up immigration, in particular from the West Indies, destroying the rough balance that had existed between labour demand and supply. The overt politicisation of race and immigration is visible in the Smethwick campaign of 1964. Peter Griffiths fought the Conservative campaign against Labourââ¬â¢s Patrick Gordon Walker and was returned against the national trend. His campaign was based, as he saw it, ââ¬Ëon defending the interests of the local white majority over the influx of immigrantsââ¬â¢ and he notoriously refused to condemn the popular slogan ââ¬ËIf you want a nigger for a neighbour vote Labourââ¬â¢ defending it as an expression of the popular feeling about immigration. Somewhat ironically, Labour introduced another Commonwealth Act in 1968 in order to restrict the entry of East African Asians who held British passports. The governmental approach to post-war mass immigration from the colonies and the Commonwealth should ultimately be viewed in the light of Irish immigration, for to 1971 the Irish were the largest immigrant minority in Britain (see Table 2). In the 1861 census 3% of the population of England and Wales were Irish and 7% in Scotland with their numbers increased to 957,830, just under 2% of the total population of Great Britain, in the 1971 census. In the late 1920s and 1930s some restrictions on immigration and repatriation were proposed, partly in anxiety at the potential effects of US immigration restrictions increasing the flow of Irish into the UK, but were never realised except during the war. The worries expressed by the reconvened working party in 1955 were restricted to controlling the immigration of coloured colonial and Commonwealth citizens, who were British subjects with legal rights to settle, and not with Irish immigration, concluding that ââ¬Ëthe Irish are not ââ¬â whether they like it or not ââ¬â a different race from the ordinary inhabitants of Great Britainââ¬â¢. That an estimated 60,000 Irish per year were migrating to Great Britain compared with far fewer colonial or Commonwealth citizens was evidently not the point, nor was the fact that Irish immigration also led to social tensions as the working party had itself concluded. These were later emphasised by the Commonwealth Acts, about which ââ¬Ëthere was no pretence of adopting non-racist immigration controls by including Irish or other aliens in the legislationââ¬â¢. Table 2. Origins and numbers of some overseas born population of Great Britain in 1971 (note that immigrants may have also emigrated, therefore this table does not show total numbers of immigrants per year of entry) In such a climate, the rise of the Conservativeââ¬â¢s Enoch Powell as a spokesman for anti-immigrant resentment seems inevitable and the public response to his ââ¬Ërivers of bloodââ¬â¢ prediction saw his popularity in polls rise from 67 to 82% in his favour, even making him a contender for the Conservative leadership. Powell used rhetoric and anecdote to create an image of Britain in its death throes through massive immigration, racial civil war and strife in which true white Britons were strangers in their own country, ousted from school, home and hospital by immigrant communities who plotted against them using the invidious Race Relations Act of 1968. The whole premise of the problem of immigrant numbers is in fact a non-starter since in the post-war era emigration from Britain has in any case generally been at a higher rate than immigration. Fortunately, racism at the highest levels was less acceptable than in former days and Powellââ¬â¢s speech was found offensive by many of his parliamentary colleagues although 327 out of 412 Conservative constituency groups wanted all immigration stopped indefinitely and 55 wanted strict limits imposed. A Conservative victory owing in some measure to Powellââ¬â¢s dissonant if not entirely unpopular personal campaign and a promise that there would be no further large-scale permanent migration led to the Immigration Act of 1971, replacing employment vouchers with annually renewable work permits that no longer carried the right of permanent residence or the right of entry for dependants. Because of the special relationship between Britain and Ireland, none of this applied to Irish immigrants, suggesting that colour prejudice was at its heart. In conclusion, despite initial so-called ââ¬Ëopen doorââ¬â¢ policy to immigration, guaranteed by colonial or Commonwealth citizen rights guaranteed in 1948, the approach of successive British governments from 1945 to 1971 was to attempt to regulate mass immigration on the basis of skin colour. Indeed it seems that in the late 1960s even Labour accommodated itself to a ââ¬ËWhite Britain Policyââ¬â¢ and the difference in approach to Irish and West Indian and Indian immigrants clearly bears this out. Even today it is apparently acceptable to make a special case for the Irish who, according to Migration Watch UK ââ¬Ëhardly come into the same category since they were part of Great Britain for centuriesââ¬â¢ despite the fact that this ignores Irish ethnicity and identity while favouring skin colour, language and historical political and economic domination as reasons for some spurious sameness. An Irish anecdote illustrates the offensiveness of this, stating ââ¬Ëjust because we speak English doesnââ¬â¢t mean we are the sameââ¬â¢. Racial and immigration issues became inextricably linked and highly politicised and the prominence of Enoch Powell lead to the rise and normalisation of far right groups such as the National Front and the BNP, still active today and recently on trial for race crimes. Nowadays the debate centres around asylum seekers and illegal immigrants, who, in the style of Powellââ¬â¢s immigrants, threaten, despite the facts, to ââ¬Ëswampââ¬â¢ Britain, and even in the run-up to the current election the Conservative leader Michael Howard is making immigration a central election issue. Was the approach a success? In terms of keeping non-white colonial and New Commonwealth citizens out of Britain, no. In terms of linking and politicising immigration and racism and normalising prejudice in British society, yes.

Squash Buchi
The Philippines has lots of different kinds of foods to offer. Eating is one of the most popular hobbies of a Filipino. That is why at every street, there are people selling different kinds of foods. And because of that, it is not surprising that the food industry is one of the most popular business in the Philippines. Most of the Chinese Filipinos are ones who have businesses in the Chinese food and service restaurants. And because of that, Asian cuisine is a very popular dish in our country. In restaurants, they offer a 3-course meal; appetizer, main course, and dessert. And our focus here is one of the more popular Asian desserts; the Buchi or Jian Dui, which is mainly offered on some popular Asian cuisine restaurants.Thus, the Buchi can not only be a popular dessert in restaurants, but it can also be part of a Filipinos daily meals. Even up to this day, Buchi remains to be a popular dessert and this food continues to evolve as new techniques and styles of cooking find their way i nto our country. It is also a guilt-free kind of dessert because it is healthy. And by using new techniques and innovation in this food it can be further improved. And to have that improving taste, we will add another filling in it; a fleshy nutritious vegetable food that is called squash. In this research, we have to make this food not only a simple dessert but to have a new-taste of a healthy Filipino delicacyBackground of the StudyStreet food around Manila consists of mostly fried food. And one of these street foods is what we call ââ¬Å"Buchiâ⬠, it is very similar to the Chinese yum cha sweet sesame seed balls. In our country, these are usually sold stuffed with sweet mung bean paste. Buchi are sticky rice balls filled with sweet bean paste, rolled in sesame seeds and deep fried to form a crunchy crust. Buchi is a type of fried Chinese pastry made from glutinous rice flour. Glutinous rice is known as malagkit and milled glutinous rice is known as known as galapong. It is a simple deep fried sweet dessert or snack treat. Buchi are commonly stuffed with mung bean paste. Mung beans are low in cholesterol and high in soluble dietary fibers.It also contains proteaseà inhibitors. Protease inhibitors slow the replication of certain cancer cells including those found in breast cancer. Protease inhibitors are known to block and prevent formation of tumor cells. In other studies, Mung beans are a low glycemic index food, which means the beans are a diabetic friendly food. Low glycemic foods promote healthy blood sugar levels. People who eat foods that have a low glycemic index tend to have lower total body fat levels as opposed to those who consume high-glycemic foods, such as white bread and soft drinks. So it is really a Nutritious snack to eat. On the other hand, One cup of cooked calabaza squash flesh provides healthy carbohydrate energy, 2 grams of protein and less than 1 gram of fat within 76 calories if cooked without butter or oil.These squash are ac tually vine fruits that most people use as vegetables in composing their meals. The American Diabetes Association considers winter squash starchy vegetables, with all varieties averaging 18 grams of carbohydrates, of which 6 grams are dietary-fiber carbs. Calabaza and other winter squash have about half the carbs of other starchy vegetables, such as peas and corn. If you are a diabetic or bodybuilder who counts carbohydrates, youââ¬â¢ll still need to monitor your portion size of squash to stay inside your carb boundaries. It contains negligible fat and no measurable cholesterol. One cup of squash contains about 0.2 g of fat. Cutting down on your fat and cholesterol intake is a giant step towards helping reduce your risk of heart disease. It is also particularly high in concentrations of beta carotene and lutein.Dietary lutein helps to prevent the onset of cataracts and macular degeneration, which often leads to blindness. A cup of squash provides about 135 micrograms of beta caro tene and 2,400 micrograms of lutein. And it contains high levels of manganese and vitamin C. Manganese aids in maintaining healthy bone structure, calcium absorption, enzyme creation, and bone building. It also contributes to the mineral density of the spinal column. Vitamin C aids in the production of collagen, which is essential for the building of bone mass, and magnesium is indispensible to the health of joints and bones. Iron, folate, zinc and phosphorous found in squash all contribute to the mineral health of bones, and help fortify against osteoporosis. Therefore, is Calabaza feasible to be used as a substitute for mung bean paste?Statement of the Problem The study will determine the acceptability of developed products using Squash as a Sub-Main Ingredient for the Buchi Filling. Specifically, the following questions were answered.1. What is the optimum level of formulation of Squash as a Sub-Main Ingredient for the Buchi Filling in developed products? 2. What are the sensory attributes of the developed products in terms of the following organoleptic properties:2.1 appearance 2.2 color 2.3 texture 2.4 aroma 2.5 flavor 2.6 general acceptability 3. Is there significant difference in appearance, color, texture, aroma, flavor and general acceptability of the developed products? 4. What is the theoretical nutritional and health contribution of the developed products? 5. What is the direct material cost of the developed products?Hypothesis There is no significant difference in the appearance, color, texture, aroma, flavor and general acceptability of the developed products.Scope of the Study The scope of our study is for the Filipinos who are engaged in eating Filipino snacks especially Buchi and the children who is not fond in eating nutritious foods like squash by providing them a snack which will fit their sweet tastes and at the same time the nutrients their body needs.Significance of the study The significance of this study is to innovate the common Buchi , by using a squash paste as a filling instead of mung bean paste. The main purpose of the researchers is to create a product that will satisfy both adult and children in having a food which is more delicious, sweet and at the same time healthier. This innovation will benefit those childrenââ¬â¢s and adults.Definition of TermsBeta carotene ââ¬â is a vitamin that acts as an antioxidant, protecting cells against oxidation damage. Beta carotene is converted by the body to vitamin A. Cataract ââ¬â is a clouding of the lens inside the eye which leads to a decrease in vision. It is the most common cause of blindness and is conventionally treated with surgery. Collagen ââ¬â is he main structural protein found in animal connective tissue, yielding gelatin when boiled. Folate ââ¬â is a B vitamin that is essential for cell growth and reproduction. Glutinous rice ââ¬â is a type of rice grown mainly in Southeast and East Asia, which has opaque grains, very low amylose con tent, and is especially sticky when cooked. Glycemic Index or Glycaemic Index, (GI) provides a measure of how quickly blood sugar levels rise after eating a particular type of food. Jian dui ââ¬â is a type of fried Chinese pastry made from glutinous rice flour.The pastry is coated with sesame seeds on the outside and is crisp and chewy. Inside the pastry is a large hollow, caused by the expansion of the dough. The hollow of the pastry is filled with a filling usually consisting of mung bean paste. Lutein provides nutritional support to our eyes and skin ââ¬â the only organs of the body directly exposed to the outside environment. Lutein has been linked to promoting healthy eyes through reducing the risk of macular degeneration. Mung or Moong Bean ââ¬â is the seed of Vigna radiata, native to the Indian subcontinent, and mainly cultivated In India, China, Thailand, Philippines, Indonesia, Burma, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, but also in hot and dry regions of Sou thern Europe and the Southern United States.Protease ââ¬â is an enzyme that breaks down proteins and peptides. Organoleptic properties ââ¬â capable of detecting a sensory stimulus. Hedonic Scale ââ¬â The term Hedonic Scale is used in food science, marketing research and tasting panels where the respondents indicate the extent to which they either like or dislike food. Sensory Attributes ââ¬â To relate to a particular cause or source through the senses.CHAPTER II: Review of Related Literature and Related StudiesHISTORY OF SQUASH Our word ââ¬Å"squashâ⬠came from the Massachuset Indian word askutasquash, meaning ââ¬Å"eaten raw or uncooked.â⬠Although the Indians may have eaten some forms of squash without cooking, today we like our squashes cooked. The late-growing, less symmetrical, odd-shaped, rough or warty kinds, small to medium in size, but with long-keeping qualities and hard rinds, are usually called winter squash. They belong, almost without except ion, to the species Cucurbita maxima or C. moschata.The small, quick-growing forms that are eaten before the rinds and seeds begin to harden are called summer squash and belong to the species C. pepo. Pumpkins also belong to that species, but large, late, smooth, symmetrical forms of C. maxima and C. moschata are sometimes called ââ¬Å"pumpkinsâ⬠regardless of species. The word ââ¬Å"pumpkinâ⬠-improperly pronounced ââ¬Å"punkinâ⬠by most Americans, including myself- is derived from the old French term pompion, meaning eaten when ââ¬Å"cooked by the sun,â⬠or ripe. In modern French, pumpkin is called potiron. (http://aggiehorticulture.tamu.edu)USES OF SQUASH The uses of Squash are the young shoots, flowers and fruits are used as vegetables, matured can be made into pies and other delicacies, seeds of mature fruits can be boiled in salted water, dried like water-melon seeds, roasted and used as snack food.NUTRITIONAL FACTS ABOUT SQUASH All varieties of squash are rich in carotene. Carotene has been proven to be beneficial at preventing cancer and lung disease. The carotene from squash can also help prevent high blood pressure, heart disease, and type 2 diabetes. In the summer months, the health benefits of squash include protecting against the damaging effects of sun exposure and preventing dehydration. The juice from summer squash has also been proven to be just as effective as some varieties of winter squash in preventing cell mutations in the protection against cancer.Since both winter and summer squash varieties are rich in B vitamins, they can also help to reverse many of the damaging effects of stress on the body and further prevent other types of illness. Squash is also a good source of vitamin C, which helps to boost the immuneà system, prevent colds, and help fight allergies. The rinds of many squash are also a good source of fiber, which aids in proper digestion and is a vital element in preventing many types of disease. It i s important if you eat squash to also eat the peel or rind. (http://health.wikinut.com)Economic Production of Squash It is usually grown in home gardens and in commercial scale for its fruits, young shoots, flowers and seeds. In some places, intercropping squash with other crops such as corn, sugarcane, and coconut is practiced. Like other cucurbits, squash is recognized as an important source of vitamins and minerals. For best yield and profit, planting months must be from October to December, and May to July in hilly areas.Land PreparationPlow and harrow the field alternately 2-3 times. Furrow the field at a row spacing of 2 meters. Prepare hills at 1 meter apart. Incorporate organic fertilizer and complete fertilizer thoroughly with the soil at planting.PlantingPlant 2-3 seeds per hill. Remove weak seedlings and leave two plants per hill when the first true leaf has developed.HISTORY OF MUNG BEAN The mungbean, Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek has been grown in India since ancient times . It is still widely grown in southeast Asia, Africa, South America and Australia. It was apparently grown in the United States as early as 1835 as the Chickasaw pea. It is also referred to as green gram, golden gram and chop suey bean. Mungbeans are grown widely for use as a human food (as dry beans or fresh sprouts), but can be used as a green manure crop and as forage for livestock. Virtually all the domestic production of mungbean is in Oklahoma. Fifteen to twenty million pounds of mungbean are consumed annually in the United States and nearly 75 percent of this is imported. (http://www.hort.purdue.edu)NUTRITIONAL FACTS OF MUNG BEANBasic Nutrition FactsMung beans are extremely low in calories, with 1 cup of mature sprouted seeds containing only 31 calories per serving. A serving also contains 1.9 grams of dietary fiber, or 8 percent of your daily value based on a 2,000-calorie diet. Fiber helps you feel full, so mung beans make a good low-calorie snack to ward off hunger pangs i n between meals, particularly if you're watching your weight. A serving of mung beans contains almost no fat at 0.19 grams per serving, only 6 milligrams of sodium and 5 percent of your daily value of iron. Powerful ProteinProtein is a vital part of any healthy diet because the body uses protein to repair and renew cells. As the body breaks down protein, amino acids are left that help the body break down food further. While meat, dairy products and eggs are all high in protein, these sources can also be high in cholesterol, and they aren't an option for people following a vegan diet. Mung beans contain 3.2 grams of protein per 1 cup serving. Interviewed on the â⬠Todayâ⬠show, Madelyn Fernstrom, director of the Weight Management Center at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, recommends that you strive for about 0.4 grams of protein per pound of body weight each day. Considerable Vitamin CA 1-cup serving of mung bean sprouts contains 23 percent daily value of vitamin C based on a 2,000-calorie diet. It's essential to get enough vitamin C in your daily diet because the body does not store it. The vitamin is an antioxidant that helps protect the body against damage from free radicals. It also helps the body produce collagen, necessary for skin, cartilage, ligaments and wound healing. Vitamin C serves a protective function, helping prevent heart disease and high blood pressure. Kick Up the Vitamin KMung beans are rich in vitamin K (Vitamin K is known as the clotting vitamin, because without it blood would not clot. Some studies suggest that it helps maintain strong bones in the elderly.), with a 1-cup size serving of sprouts containing 43 percent daily value. While vitamin K isn't as widely publicized as other vitamins, it's still important. The body stores vitamin K in the liver and fatty tissue, but replenishing through diet is necessary,à particularly if you have liver disease, gallbladder disease, celiac disease or are taking blood thinners. The vitamin helps keep your bones healthy and helps your blood clot normally.http://www.livestrong.comDIFFERENCE BETWEEN PUMPKIN AND SQUASHAccording to some studies and sites the researchers have visited the difference between Pumpkin and Squash is that the Pumpkin is generally used for carving and is always used to design during Halloween because if its very thick skin while the Squash is primarily used in cooking and is eaten raw or cooked.Season Chart for the production of Squash in the PhilippinesCHAPTER III: MethodologyResearch Design The researchers used an experimental design in conducting their research. An experimental design is a study design used to test cause-and-effect relationships between variables. The classic experimental design specifies an experimental group and a control group. The independent variable is administered to the experimental group and not to the control group, and both groups are measured on the same dependent variable. Subsequent experimental desig ns have used more groups and more measurements over longer periods.True experiments must have control, randomization, and manipulation. The researchers have conducted sensory evaluation and randomly selected students from World Citi Colleges to evaluate our finish product which are Lot 1(100% mung beans paste filling), Lot 2 (50% mung bean paste filling, 50% squash paste filling), Lot 3 (60% mung beans paste filling, 40% squash paste filling), Lot 4 (70% mung beans paste filling, 30% squash paste filling)Statistical Treatment of Data Sensory Evaluation The 7 and 9 Hedonic Scale was used to assess the developed bakery products. The 7 ââ¬â Hedonic Scale was used to evaluate the appearance, color, texture and aroma of the developed bakery products while the 9 ââ¬â Hedonic Scale was utilized to assess the flavor and general acceptability of the said product. Statistical TreatmentThe Analysis of Variances (ANOVA) was used to determine significant differences between and among the sensory attributes of the developed bakery products.Experimental Procedures Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups glutinous rice flour 3/4 cup water 1/8 tsp salt Sweet mung bean paste sesame seeds cooking oilProcedures: 1. Mix the flour, salt and water together in a bowl. Knead together just enough to form into a dough. 2. Divide the ball into small pieces and shape it into a ball then flatten the middle of the dough with your thumb. Spoon 1 tablespoon of sweet red bean paste into the middle of the dough. 3. Wrap the dough around the bean paste. Pinch the edges together to seal and roll it until the shape is round. 4. Roll the shaped dough over the sesame seeds.à 5. Heat the cooking oil in a deep pan. (350 deg F) 6. Fry the balls in batches in the hot oil until golden brown.CHAPTER IV Presentation, Analysis and InterpretationTo ensure the exact measurement of the filling, the researchers used percentage as their measurement.Lot 1 Lot 2 Lot 3 Lot 4 Squash fillings 0% 50% 60% 70% Mung bean filli ngs 100% 50% 40% 30%It can be compared that Squash is richer in vitamins A(80%), and Vitamin C(10%), while mung bean is richer in Calcium(2%), Iron(7%), and in Magnesium(12%).

Art galleries in berlin Thesis Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 5000 words
Art galleries in berlin - Thesis Example The situation is almost the same as in New York, a cultural center wherein a recent Van Gogh exhibit drew crowds bigger than the combined Redskinââ¬â¢s home games. (Savageau 2007, p. 101) the Berlin art scene divides sharply into east and west, the latter containing the expensive, more established galleries in Charlottenburg and Tiergarten and the former reflecting the current energy and attention. The area around the Augustustrasse in Mitte, which became the breeding ground of wild and crazy art in the first years after the Wall, is now known as the "Art Mille" - after the many galleries that have sprung up along its streets. The survival of many art galleries in Berlin deserve to be investigated. For art galleries to succeed, wrote Owen, a lot of complementary infrastructure is needed, on both the supply side and the demand of marketing side: ââ¬Å"On the supply sideâ⬠¦ art required a training network and an intense native ethos. On the marketing side, success required a thick market of sophisticated, well-placed buyers and an active set of dealers and secondary institutions. (p. 68-69) What really makes an art gallery tick? Or, more specifically, what kind of gallery will be successful and survive in Berlin? This paper will investigate this issue and for such purpose, the following secondary objectives will be pursued: This study will primarily use the qualitative method of inquiry. What this means is that the author will exhaust available document on the subject of the study both from the organization itself and third-party records. Case studies will be employed in order to present authoritative findings by functioning as reference points in the discussion. It must be underscored that, in the past, quantitative method could have sufficed but today, the dynamics in research has changed.

Marketing Management Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 2000 words - 6
Marketing Management - Essay Example Exchange relationships are commonly utilised as marketing strategies with the aim of ensuring that a business establishes viable links and contacts with customers, rather than focusing on making on-the-spot sale. The use of this form of relations in marketing commonly results in relationship marketing as a business strategy, whose success is based on the fulfilment of the promises made to customers. A business must maintain commitment to the promises made to customers as a way of satisfying their needs, while still keeping their promises. The role of customer service representatives in this marketing strategy is critical to its successful application. A business must maintain a continuous relationship with the client as a way of retaining the customers by gaining their trust. Organisations commonly focus on delivering value to customers as a way of nurturing the existing relationship between them and the business. This approach of marketing is basically focused on attracting retaining and extending good and services to the desired customers. Marketing metrics refer to elements that can be used to measure the effectiveness of the marketing strategies employed by an organization in achieving desired marketing objectives. A sales manager might consider reporting the following two metrics to ABC Services; This can be defined as the cost incurred in convincing a customer to purchase services and products from a company. The costs considered include the product costs and the various costs involved in research and marketing before reaching the customer. This metric could be relevant to the company as it can be able to determine the markets in which to venture. While the market analysis might be critical, other factors like the value of customers to the company can also be established. This is essential in determining the amount of resources that a business can use to gain customers. This is a metric
Executive Orders Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 500 words
Executive Orders - Essay Example This essay describes the executive order that was given by the President Obama, who like his predecessors has issued several executive orders since he assumed office. One such order is the Executive Order Number 13491 of January 22, 2009, which sought to ensure lawful interrogations for armed conflict detainees and was a main focus of this essay. The objective of this order was to ensure that people were treated safely, lawfully, and humanely in the governmentââ¬â¢s endeavors to gather intelligence data. In particular, the order targeted people under U.S custody within its borders and those U.S citizens held in armed conflicts. By this order, the Obama administration sought to comply with its domestic and international treaties such as the Geneva Conventions. The implementation of the Executive Order 13491 of January 22, 2009 has been marred by quite a number of challenges and criticism that were deeply analyzed in the essay. In fact, the researcher suggests that many stakeholders opine that the order has several loopholes that would allow torture to prevail during interrogations. In the conclusion, the researcher mentiones that generally, the implementation of Executive Order 13491 mainly had positive effects since more human and safe interrogation techniques are currently being used on detainees. Although some assert that these techniques are equally torturous, illegal, and controversial, the U.S military approves their use. These techniques include isolation, sensory deprivation, sleep deprivation, stress position and etc.

Why Should We Forgive Others Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 500 words
Why Should We Forgive Others - Essay Example In Christianity which is a western religion, teaching about forgiveness takes a very central role in the spiritual life of the Christian adherent. The teaching is that, if we expect God to forgive us, we must in turn forgive our fellow man when they wrong us. This is best expressed in what is known as the Lordââ¬â¢s Prayer in Mathew 6:9-13 where the Christian petitions God to forgive him just as they forgive others. This is as a precondition that if we expect God to forgive us, we have a part to play in forgiving others as it is narrated in Mathew 6:15. We also find the example of a Christian who practiced forgiveness during the stoning of Stephen in Acts 7:60 where Stephen prayed and said ââ¬Ëlay not this sin to their chargeââ¬â¢, words almost similar to the ones uttered by Jesus Christ at His crucifixion, ââ¬Ëforgive them for they know not what they doââ¬â¢, speaking about His crucifiers, yet He had committed no sin, Luke 23:34. This shows that a Christian who forgiv es is following the example of the author of Christianity, Jesus Christ. The Bible also teaches about turning your other cheek and giving your coat as well to someone who takes your cloak as it continues to express the virtue of forgiveness, Luke 6: 27-31. The Bible also talks about Godââ¬â¢s demonstration of love in that Jesus Christ died for the sins of the world while man was still a sinner (Bash, 2007).

Primary Causes of Problems at Amazon.Com and their Remedies Case Study
Primary Causes of Problems at Amazon.Com and their Remedies - Case Study Example Question 4 If Amazon buys products from other firms and simply ships them to customers, why does it need so many of its own distribution centers Amazon.com needs many distribution centers of its own because doing so enables it to make product deliveries to customers quickly and also helps the company to save on costs. In addition, the distribution centers were already in operation and therefore just had to be used by Amazon.com in the partnership deals with other companies ("Amazon.com"). Question 5 Will other retailers buy or lease the Web software and services from Amazon Can Amazon make enough money from selling these services Other retailers will buy or lease software services from Amazon.com because the company has immense infrastructure. Although Amazon.com has been making losses for many years due to the high initial costs and intensive promotion activities, it can still make enough money from selling the services it deals in. This evidenced by the fact that the company's financial position has improved somehow since the year 2000 (Post & Anderson, 2006). Customers' confidence in the company put it in a position to make profit. Question 6 Write a report to management that describes the primary cause of the problems, a detailed plan to solve them, and show how the plan solves the problems and describe any other benefits it will provide. Running Head: PRIMARY CAUSES OF PROBLEMS AT AMAZON.COM Primary Causes of Problems at Amazon.Com and their Remedies Abstract This report evaluates the problems faced by Amazon.com since its inception in 1994 and its current status. A detailed plan to solve the problems is given together with an account of how the... In the year 2000, Amazon.com on overhauled its entire system in order to give it a more customer-appealing look.The company spent $200 million on new systems such as software from Epiphany, logistics from Manugistics Company and a new database management system (DBMS) from Oracle. Furthermore, the company signed more contracts with companies such as SAS for data withdrawal and appraisal. All these services of course came with additional costs to the company. In spite of the additional costs, the biggest and perhaps most expensive deal was between Amazon.com and Excelon as a form of business-to business (B2B) integration. In the same year, Amazon.com linked with HP in a deal that would see the company offer information technology services to Amazonââ¬â¢s customers. Despite, Amazonââ¬â¢s desire to expand and dominate the online market, the company was criticized over its activities in 2000. For instance, that year the company conducted a price experiment by quoting different prices on DVDs to different customers. However, customers who logged in to Amazon.com web site at different times discovered that different prices were being offered at different times. Although Amazon.com later confirmed that it was offering random discounts of between 20 to 40 per cent, this never augured well with some of its customers. Among the customersââ¬â¢ sentiments were that they were being charged more when they shopped more and that the exercise was awfully sneaky and unscrupulous. Other customers referred to Amazon.com as a shyster.

Assignment 13 Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 500 words
13 - Assignment Example are different in employment of labor where in some organizations, workers have the freedom to choose what they want to do while in others, duties are assigned to employees. However, many inequalities that arise from the nature of the employment, as identified by, Adam Smith need to be addressed to create harmony in the work place. These principal counter balances in some employment while in others, it is a gain. The first principal, the wages of labour vary with the hardship, the cleanliness, the honorableness of the employment. Those who carry out heavy duties earn more that those who undertake light duties. Additionally, dirtier work tends to fetch more wages than the clean ones and exposure to unsafe or dangerous environment (Smith and Dickey, 1993). The employees in dishonorable employment may take home more wages than those in the honorable employment because it takes patience and courage to carry out the duties; however, this is not always the case in all employment. This also applies in the profits of stock the bigger the stock the more the profit it earns. Secondly, the wages of labour vary with the easiness and cheapness, or the difficulty and expense of learning the business. If an employment requires a skilled person who have taken enough time to learn about it and used expensive resources, the level of wages must be high. This is because time consumed in training is great and not just anyone who can perform the duties especially the specialized ones be it technical or technological. Skilled labour fetches more wages and as one upgrade the position is left vacant for another to join and learn as the latter continues with his/her training under the master just like it is in Europe (Smith and Dickey). Easiness and cheapness hardly affect the stock of profit because for any business to do well, a lot of effort must be employed. Thirdly, the wages of labour in different occupations vary with the constancy or inconstancy of employment. Employment varies

History of the Democratic Party Essay Example for Free
History of the Democratic Party Essay The Democratic Party is one of the two major political parties in the United States. When this party makes political decisions, the Democratic Party followed a very liberal viewpoint. The Democratic Party is one of the oldest official political parties in the world and it is the oldest official political party in the United States. In 1792, Thomas Jefferson started the Democratic Party to oppose the Federalist Party to fight for the Bill of Rights. The Democratic Party was called the party of the common man. It was probably called this because it supported the normal citizens, like farmers and middle class people. Thomas Jefferson was elected as the first president from the Democratic Party in 1800. Jefferson served as president for two terms for the Democratic Party. Following this, in 1848, the Democratic National Committee was formed by the National Convention. The Democratic National Committee exists, making it the longest standing political organization ever. The Democratic Party is recognized with serving the lower and middle classes by funding government programs such as Welfare and free or low cost medical insurance. This is an opposite belief of the Republican Party who believes in that no one should face a tax increase, especially the rich. Democratic parties typically rule large states such as New York and California. Since these are two states with a high number of electoral votes, the Democratic Party has an advantage in presidential elections, although despite that support, there have still been many Republican presidents voted into office.

HR Problem In Cognizant Technology Solutions
HR Problem In Cognizant Technology Solutions Introduction This essay describes the recent HR problem faced by Cognizant Technology Solutions, Hyderabad, India one of the fastest growing IT Service Providing Companies a subsidiary of Cognizant Head Quarters, New Jersey as heard from one of the associates within the company. The Organization faced the problem of retaining their experienced associates during the economic down-turn period or so called Recession period when the other competing companies fired many of their employees who have worked for more than half-a decade because of posing financial problems on the company in regard to wages and maintenance during that period. Started with around 264 associates to 10,000+ members (till date), they have contributed a lot to the Organizations notable growth over a short period of 8 years at Hyderabad Off-shore Development Centre. [By Geeta Ramachandran, Sr. Executive HR, Global Workforce Management (GWFM), CTS(H), Feb, 2006-(till date).] Key Words: Associates, Off-shore Development Centre, Business Continuity Plan, Work Force Management, Incentive Approach, Two-in-a-Box Module. Background Cognizant Technology Solutions, one of the leading Multi-National Companies started its Off-shore Development Centre (ODC) at Hyderabad, India in 2002 as a part of Global Expansion. It serves more than 500 clients belonging to various fields such as Banking Financial Services, Health Care Insurance, Communications, Consumer Goods, Energy Utilities, Information, Media Entertainment, Life Sciences, Manufacturing, Retail, Technology, Transportation Logistics, and Travel Hospitality. The Company has recorded its highest growth in the 4th quarter of 2010. And announced 200% hike for their top performers during this quarter recovering from the recession blows. They have crossed the 10M strength in the same quarter globally. [http://www.cognizant.com/aboutus/in news] Interventions Recession is more often can be termed as one of the phases for readjustment in disequilibrium of capital management. Whenever a resource from an organization is released from the declining activities, they will be immediately shifting to the expanding industries. Recession or recovery is the first phase of readjustment process in this world of non-homogenous capital and rigidities in adjustment processes begins with the realization of errors committed under the illusions projected by easy credit. Downturn period in the global markets is considered as bad by concerning the nominative judgments about the different phases of the cycle. [Capital in Disequilibrium: An Austrian Approach to Recession and Recovery by Noah Yetter ([emailprotected]) and John P. Cochran ([emailprotected]).] Multi-national companies are focused on getting the experienced staff which would allow them to have the feasibility of not spending additional investments on any other different training programs. Small scale organizations are more focused on fresher as they cannot bear huge pay to the experienced hires. By providing the well established environment to the employees so that the employees can work freely and can apply all thought process into reality. Because of this, there is a diversion among the managers whom to consider with high priority when financial matters are involved with the resource management techniques. [Resourcing in Business Logistics: The Art of Systematic Combining, by M. Jahre, L.E. Gadde H. Hà ¥kansson, D. Harrison, G. Persson, and G. Liber, Torkel Strà ¶msten, Stockholm School of Economics, Stockholm, Sweden, Book Review, Page No. 411-414.] As there are financial prospects involved, it is always better to recruit fresh graduates and train them based on the requirements of business with the usage of proper forecasting techniques. If the resources belonging to an organization are homogenous in all aspects and all prices, wages, and interest rates are perfectly flexible in according to the organizational policies, then the recession or recovery process would be a single process which would be quick and practically painless. An experienced employee wages equal the 3-4 fresh graduates wages whose cost to company would be low when compared to former. It is always preferable to have those young minds which are innovative and creative at times and works smart in reaching the timely goals rather than being laborious for completion of tasks. And if the Organization thinks that an experienced employee needs to be retained with the organization, firm should assign them the multiple tasks up to the possible extent but not overloadin g them. By making the experienced resources responsible in some managerial positions and offering them the provision of consistent support and means for supervision from the top-level management to guide the new candidates in achieving service and delivery goals much to the satisfaction and delight of the customers. [Marketing Management by Philip Kotler, Prentice Hall, 2002, Chapter-III, Winning Markets through Strategic Management Planning, 47-64.] In order to retain the experienced employees from the organization, one needs to build the strong belief about the future prospects of the employee ensuring about their role in the organization and more importantly job-safety. Cognizant has employed the same strategy during that turmoil and with the same strategy they achieved the tag of fastest growing IT Services Provider around the globe. Cognizant trained the people irrespective of experienced or a fresh candidate in the sector during the period to grab the opportunities in future. By making sure that the employees would fit into the requirements accordingly, and providing them the different options like self-learning, e-learning courses to learn and understand the new technologies rather than sticking to the existing technology which they have already learnt during their graduation and the same has applied over the years for the routine deliverables thus not allowing themselves to reach the further levels in contributing to the success of the organization. [Leadership in the era of Economic Un-Certainty by Charan. R, McGrawhill, 2009.] Training and allowing them to understand, implement the new technologies might take some time initially but it makes the employee well-versed with the same. With the same strategy we can build the confidence in the people by spending whole-sum amount for training purpose as it helps in retaining the confidence of the employee on the management. After facing the initial phase of economic un-certainty, every Organization concentrated on cost-cuttings thus enabling the clients to trust the management with respect to the ROI and value of investments. This would reduce the revenue and profits to the company during that period and on a long-term basis, this result in maintaining the healthy relationship with the clients. [Applying the Theory of Planned Behavior to Explain Marketing Managers Perspectives on Sustainable Marketing by Ahmed Shahriar Ferdous.] Reallocation of the resources is another crucial factor which would create some distance between the employees and their families. Reallocation need to be carried out depending on the requirement and feasibility of the company. Depending on the designation, work-experience of a particular employee, he/she would be given the priority to serve the organization according not affecting the business continuity plan and meeting the deliverables in time. Regular Audits will be held at those which were shown to the clients at the start-up. Meeting the expectations of the customer in time is a technique which is possible only through dedicated resources for the organization. With the same approach, organizations build the reputation among the clients. [The influence of distance factors on New Zealand expatriates cross-cultural adjustment by Emma M. Jenkins; Audra I. Mockaitis, School of Marketing and International Business, Victoria University of Wellington, Wellington, New Zealand] Resource Management within the organization should be considered as a high-priority issue which requires proper attention. Resource Planning and Resource Management according to the business needs to be scheduled. As Cognizant applies Two-In-A-Box Module, On-site/Offshore Delivery module, they tend to have more resource strength at off-shore than on-site as the CTC would be increasing if the on-boarded people are in large number. They do follow a policy of 1:3 ratios Onsite Offshore resource strength because of which Cognizant resources would like to stay with the organization rather than opting for other organizations. And another way to look at it, the company offers huge incentives and various other activities alongside the regular work. Cognizant recruited graduates during recession period from universities who will be completing their graduation in another 6-8 months of time and gear up to face the global environment instead of firing the experienced hires. Meanwhile the organi zation can avail the time to plan accordingly and train them the different technologies to meet the expectations from the customers and serve them with high efficiency. [By Rohit Eustachius, Executive HR, Campus Talent Manager, CTS(H), Aug, 2006-(tilldate).] Based on the above interventions for the problem, we can state that a mixture of fresh and experienced people is required in every industry and the same applies universally. With the help of experienced bunch, fresh employees into the company will learn key points and apply the same when it demands. Reduce the no. of experienced employees gradually and at the same time hire the fresh graduates to compensate work load and financial issues can be settled with less pay details. [HR and IT Capabilities and Complementarities in Knowledge-Intensive Services by Naresh Khatri*, Alok Baveja, Narendra M. Agrawal and Gordon D. Brown] Conclusion Thus we can derive that problems relating to human resource management involves so many factors and all those factors should be considered when a problem needs a necessary action to be implemented to resolve the problem. Human Resource Management involves with financial issues which plays key role in organizational structure and helps in progress of the organization. This also reveal us how to invest in those crucial times of the market forecasting the future prospects and demands in mind. Resource planning, resource management are two important areas which would contribute to organizations success in the long-run prospects. In the resource planning or resource management, monetary expansion puts inflationary pressure on prices, as more demand tries to be financed by the same pool of real resources, but this pressure isnt always felt by all prices. Fantastic returns on equity investments is possible, particularly compared to the low returns generally available under depressed interes t rates, which may draw excess monetary demand into the stock market, pushing prices go up further. If the inflationary pressure of the original monetary expansion resulted in a general rise in prices, the stock slump should be relatively mild, simply reflecting the markets realization that firms were over-valued. But if the economy also experienced asset price inflation with little or no commodity price inflation, the stock correction ought to be quite severe, as the prices of stocks fall to reflect not only more realistic valuations of firms but also drastically lower demand for stocks. Supra-normal demand for equity investments was propped up by easy credit and spurred on by its effects, now demand has declined by that excess amount plus a panic discount, as investors who would otherwise have kept their money in stocks pull it out due to an increased in perceived risk. Once the period of heightened risk accompanying mass liquidation passes, investors will begin to see that stocks are now undervalued, and buy in again. This post-panic resurgence of equity investment will be a signal that the readjustment process is essentially complete, and normal economic growth is resuming. Tax cuts are helpful to the extent that they stimulate savings investment and reduce the role of government in the economy, but implementing them as a means to stimulate consumption is a wrongheaded approach. Thus with the different approaches human resource management is a tough task as it involves multiple issues related enterprise resource planning, resource management, supply chain management etc. The research about the problem resulted in the following approaches to deal with the employees. Allowing the experienced employees to learn the new technologies by means of e-learning rather than attending the in-house training sessions separately thus reducing the cost to the company when the training programs are taken into consideration. Recruiting the fresher from the universities and train them in different technologies accordingly in place of the experienced resources when the cost to company matters as the fresher would be paid less wages compared to the experienced by forecasting the future demand much in advance. Reducing the cost to company by maintaining or retaining the productive resources who have contributed lot to the organizations growth ensuring the customer satisfaction to the most possible extent. Allocating senior resources to managerial positions to serve the newly hired resources to know in and out about the organization in detail and to gain expertise on the technologies they would apply.
