Some Tangy Facts About Oranges

2009-03-21T07:48:00.000-07:00

a) Oranges were first imported from China to the United States. It is the fourth most popular fruit in the US besides being the largest citrus crop in the world.

b) Brazil is the largest producer of oranges in the world!

c) The origin of citrus fruit can be traced to Asia some 20 million years ago. Citrus was first mentioned in literature in 2400 B.C. However, it's been just 125 years since the United States started cultivating orange trees.

d) Oranges are available in multiple varieties including Valencia orange, navel orange, Hamlin, Moro and so on. Navel oranges are more popular as they can be easily peeled off.

e) The name 'navel orange' has been derived from the appearance of the fruit, which resembles a bellybutton or navel.

f) In 1873, three navel orange trees were brought from Brazil and planted in Riverside, California. Today, one of the three original trees is still alive and producing fruit!

g) Many people confuse the quality of oranges on account of a greenish tinge on its skin. A little green on orange surface is chiefly the result of ‘Re-greening’ (a process where ripe oranges turn from orange to green left on the trees for long). However, this does not affect either the taste or nutrition of the fruit.

h) Oranges have more fiber content than most fruits and vegetables!

i) Celebrities like the music king Russell Simmons, actor William Shatner and model Angela Lindvall worked behind the counters of a local orange juice store before initiating their famous careers.

If you’re a trainer and you want to know why you should keep a collection of unbelievable facts in your training toolkit, here’s why…

…you sometimes need to catch people’s attention in any way you can!

remember once running a course with a truly difficult young man. In fact, he was quite impossible. He sat in the group wearing a woollen hat which he refused to remove and his expression was sullen. He took no part in any of the discussions except to say they were a waste of time and simply refused to participate in the group exercises.

By chance, shortly after the first morning break… when I was wondering just what to do with my young man… someone mentioned a news story about a child being born on its way to hospital in the front seat of a car.

This triggered one of those long-lost facts deep in my memory to come to the surface and I added a “Did-you-know…?” which was…

“Did you know that Winston Churchill was born in a ladies room at a dance?”

At that moment everyone was intrigued by this fact. The greatest Briton of all time… a wartime hero… Prime Minister several times… born in a ladies’ loo. And guess what? For the first time in the course, my awkward young man was interested too. In fact, he couldn’t help himself.

You see, much as some people hate to be taught and trained, there are few of us who can resist learning something interesting. It’s in our blood. The need to know.

My father often speaks of a senior management supervisor whose plaque above his door stated "the only authority here is the facts". In almost every area of life, the facts are the bottom line to determining many things. When making major decisions, the facts are always important. Sometimes, the only way to determine which direction to take is too objectively look at the facts. In all cases and situations, the first, and most important thing to do is to find out the facts.

After finding out the facts, one must than apply or incorporate the facts to the situation or circumstances. You must know how to use the facts to bring out the truth of matter. Some might say, the facts will shine a bright light into thick clouds of darkness which often will reveal a worker of evil or more to the point, a lying wonder.

If you do not have the facts, in some cases, you will be in for a fight. There are some people that will distort the facts for the expressed purpose of exploitation. It is best not to make any statement until you have thoroughly looked at and examined the facts. In some cases, the supervisor is a walking target for some personnel; they live for the expressed purpose of the distorting the facts for their predetermined purposes. It is your responsibility to be committed to the facts only, not opinions.

Big breast helps to win verdict

2008-11-15T02:37:00.000-08:00

She used to hate her body so much. To her, her 44-inch bust was a burden. But this time, it was her breast that helps her to overturn a court verdict. The bikini model and actress, who goes by her professional name Serena Kozakura, was cleared after a court decided she was too well-endowed to squeeze into a room through a hole, as she had been found guilty of earlier.

Kozakura 38, was charged with having kicked down the door of a man's apartment after she had been kicked out following an argument with another woman there in November 2006. In July last year, the Tokyo District Court found her guilty of willful destruction of property, but she appealed against the conviction.

During the appeal hearing, the court heard testimony from the man and a witness who both said Kozakura had kicked a hole in the door, through which she wriggled through to re-enter the apartment. The hole in the door was a rectangular shape 72 centimeters long by 22 centimeters wide. But Kozakura has a 101-centimeter bust and her breasts alone extend out 29 centimeters from her chest bone.

Wedding Planning And Making Money Online

2008-10-10T11:15:00.000-07:00

It is very true that couples will spend a lot of money of their wedding. As a result, there is really a great potential for you to make money online with wedding planning. What I mean here is that you will be able to make money online by selling items related to wedding planning.

When a couple is planning for a wedding, they have to consider a lot of details. For example, they have to send the save the date card at least half year before and send the wedding invitations 12 weeks before their wedding.

People are very busy nowadays. They may not really have enough time to plan for their wedding. Even if they have the time to do so, they may not really know the etiquettes. It can be even more difficult if it is a Chinese couple. There are a lot of etiquettes associated with Chinese wedding traditions. The couple may not really understand or know all these etiquettes.

As a result, there is a possibility of making money online by creating ebooks on wedding etiquettes or ebooks on tips about wedding planning. These kinds of ebooks can be sold very well. In fact, you can see that there are some people who are selling such ebooks when you try to search in clickbank.

Selling ebooks is not the only way to make money online with wedding planning. You can even be able to make money using PPC networks. There are a lot of advertisers in this field and you can earn quite a bit of money with it. You may start a website on free wedding invitation templates and make money. It is not difficult to do so at the end of the day. However, if you are doing SEO work, the keyword wedding can be a very challenging one. As a result, you will still want to concentrate on long tails instead.

Of course you may also consider starting an online shop which sells wedding gifts. The gifts are certainly something very important. However, the capital involved should also be considered. You may need to spend some money on the inventories. Yet you may consider join some affiliate programs which sell such products and this may be an excellent choice.

Shigeru Ban is an accomplished Japanese and international architect, most famous for his innovative work with paper, particularly recycled cardboard paper tubes used to quickly and efficiently house disaster victims. Shigeru Ban was the winner in 2005 at age 48 of the 40th annual Thomas Jefferson Medal in Architecture from the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. He was profiled by Time Magazine in their projection of 21st century innovators in the field of architecture and design.

Shigeru Ban studied at the Southern California Institute of Architecture and later went on to Cooper Union’s School of Architecture where he studied under John Hejduk and graduated in 1984. Hejduk was a part of the The New York Five. From Hejduk, Ban learned not only fundamental elements of architecture, but also gained an interest in ‘architectonic poetics’ or the creation of three-dimensional poetry. Hejduk, the most experimentally minded of the New York Five, had a lasting influence on Ban, whose work has continuing explorations into basic geometric elements. Ban’s formal explorations with basic building materials helped to lead him into unique structural solutions.

Ban is most-famous now for his innovative work with paper and cardboard tubing as a material for building construction. He was the first architect in Japan to construct a building primarily out of paper, with his paper house and required special approval for his building to pass Japan’s building code. Ban is attracted to using paper because of its low-cost, its recyclable, low-tech and they’re replaceable. The last aspect of Ban’s influences is his humanitarianism and his attraction to ecological architecture. Ban’s work with paper and other materials is heavily based on its sustanability and because it produces very little waste. As a result of this, Ban’s DIY Refugee shelters (used in Japan after the Kobe earthquake, in Turkey, Rwanda and around the world) are very popular and effective for low-cost disaster relief-housing.

When the Japanese architect Shigeru Ban was asked to build a footbridge over the Gardon River in the south of France, he designed one that was keenly sensitive to its surroundings. He constructed it from locally available materials and based its geometry on the nearby Pont du Gard, a historic Roman aqueduct. Ban used a mixture of cardboard tubes, recycled labels and creative engineering.

The surprisingly strong structure can withstand the load of at least 20 people, rose triumphantly against the backdrop of the ancient monument. The 72-foot-long frame was made primarily from 281 cardboard tubes — each four and a half inches in diameter and about three-quarters of an inch thick. The tubes were held together by steel joints. For the steps, Ban used a new material called ProFi, assembled from paper and plastic left over from the manufacture of self-adhesive labels. Wooden boxes buried underground and packed with local sand formed the foundations.

The bridge diameter and curvature were modeled on the classic proportions of the Pont du Gard’s arch. “It was an interesting contrast,” Ban says. “But it was both a contrast and a harmony.” The design of the bridge allows for easy assembly and dismantling. It took a team of architecture students only a month to complete the installation, which remained open to the public for six weeks before being dismantled in August before the rainy season. Ban says he expects it to be rebuilt next year.

The main challenge, Ban says, was not mastering the engineering of the bridge but persuading skeptics to rethink basic principles of design. “The strength and durability of a structure has nothing to do with the material,” he said. Ban fits well into the category of “Ecological Architects” but he also can make solid claims for being modernist, a Japanese experimentalist as well as a rationalist. “I don’t like waste” is an apt quote from Ban, summing up his philosophy, known as “Paper George's Architecture.”
