The managers of Jamaican companies who participated in the recent Food & Drink Expo in Birmingham last month said the show was a success, with some companies generating positive business prospects.
?Eleven Jamaican companies showcased products in the Food & Drink Expo, at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham, from March 25 to 27. Their display in the international food show was coordinated by the Meet Jamaica Initiative, a project of The Private Sector Organisation of Jamaica and the Government of Jamaica, through JAMPRO.
??It was a success and we had excellent feedback,? said Soroya Tomlinson, Export Manager, Continental Baking Company (CBC), which used the Expo to introduce new Spur Tree Spices, such as jerk sauce seasoning, curried seasoning, pepper jelly and pepper sauces, to the market.
Known traditionally for its bread and buns, Continental Baking Company already has a presence in the United Kingdom; however, Mrs. Tomlinson said that CBC received leads to penetrate Northern England.
?We do not have our products in Manchester, Leeds and Birmingham, therefore, our focus was to identify persons from Northern London who would take our products, and we were successful,? she said.
Donette Reece, Export Manager at Seprod, said the Expo created awareness for Seprod products. ?It was a good experience, and the feedback has been positive? she said, adding that several businesses wanted to distribute their products.
?We already have two distributors in the UK, ?and we have forwarded the leads to our current distributors based on our export policy,? she pointed out. Seprod manufactures and distributes baked products, beverages, edible oils and fats, corn products and other household consumer products.
Miss Reece said there was positive feedback for its new? CocoMalt? biscuit, which was first introduced to that market during the Expo?. ?She said the product was a hit, with patrons treated to a delicious malt base cheesecake made from their own CocoMalt cookie.
??Our distributor wanted to take it, and having seen the response, we have already received an order,? she said. ?That was a plus for us.?
Berletta Henlon Forrester, JAMPRO?s Export Promotion Manager, who led the Jamaican delegation, said the Food and Drink Expo provided yet another platform for showcasing some of Jamaica?s high quality offerings under the banner of Meet Jamaica.
?The Pavilion was kept busy with visitors sampling the irresistible range of food and beverage, but more importantly, the Jamaican exhibitors were able to meet with members of the distributive and retail trade interested in doing business with them,? she said.
?JAMPRO has already commenced follow up contacts with buyers met at the trade show, and will continue to pursue them with a view to facilitating the conversion of trade leads into actual export order fulfillment,? Mrs. Henlon Forrester added.
A highlight of the show was the Meet Jamaica-hosted Culinary Master Class led by celebrated Jamaican Chef Collin Brown. ?This event drew a??standing room only? audience of enthusiastic show visitors who were keen to learn how to ?cook Jamaican?. ?
The Food & Drink Expo is the UK?s largest food and drink trade exhibition, which brings together grocery, food service, wholesale, manufacturing and speciality retail traders. The event, which has been staged every other year for more than two decades, allows participating businesses to interface with manufacturers and traders from across the UK.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) ? An Alaska wildlife center that takes in orphaned and injured animals is missing one of its larger residents.
The Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center announced Monday that a 300-pound, 2-year-old female Kodiak brown bear escaped six days ago from its enclosure near Portage. The bear had been destined for a zoo in Sweden in early summer.
The center is near Chugach National Forest land in the southernmost end of Anchorage, about 40 miles from downtown. The bear was last seen Tuesday night in mountains between the Portage and Placer valleys, the center said. A spokeswoman for the Alaska Department of Fish and Game said the bear was not a public threat.
"It's not like an escaped murderer has gotten loose," said Jessy Coltrane, the area biologist for Anchorage. "It's just a bear in the woods in an area where we have lots of other bears."
The bear had been named Shaguyik (sheh-GOY'-uk), an Eskimo name for "ghost" or "shadow," according to the center website.
It's the first time the center has had an escape, said executive director Mike Miller.
"We had our electric fence turned off for maintenance and during that time, something spooked Shaguyik," Miller said in the announcement. "Unfortunately, this year's heavy snow load required us to fix our electric fence and that's when the incident occurred."
The bear climbed over the fence to escape, said center spokesman Ethan Tyler.
The bear was found on its own in December 2010 on Kodiak Island at a season when most bears were denned up for the winter, according to the center's website. She was flown to Anchorage for care. A veterinarian spayed her in November.
She carries a microchip but is not wearing a collar and has no identifying tags. The nonprofit center is the custodian of the bear under a permit but it remains the possession of the state, Tyler said.
The center is the permanent home of five bears. Shaguyik and another young bear were under the center's care until they could be moved to a Swedish zoo in June.
Coltrane said the Fish and Game Department spent time last week searching for the bear from the air but has stopped.
"She could have just kept on walking and just walked into the Alaska wilderness," Coltrane said. "At this point in time, there's not a whole lot to be done."
The bear likely would have been safer staying inside the fence.
"She's a sub-adult. She's a 2-year old cub, so she's a young bear, and young bears in general have a high mortality rate, even ones that are born in the wild and live with their mother," Coltrane said. The biggest danger is from other bears.
"There is a chance she's already been eaten by another bear, or will be eaten by another bear, or something else has happened to her. We just don't know," Coltrane said.
On the other hand, she said, some orphan bears survive, and this one could return to the center.
"They're equipped to deal with that if she returns, and there's a good chance she might," Coltrane said. "If she gets hungry, that's where she's been fed all of her life."
Other bears have been waking up from winter dens, and Coltrane said she expects to start getting reports from people who believe they are seeing Shaguyik.
Center officials warned that the formerly captive bear should not be approached.
"Even though Shaguyik has been in captivity most of her life, the public should treat this bear with extreme caution," Miller said. "Because of its habituation, Shaguyik may not respond the same as wild bears and avoid human interaction. If someone sees the bear, the best thing to do is keep your distance and contact the authorities."

New technology converts all kinds of plant waste into useable fuel--and is part of a growing array of technologies aimed at island energy independence
?| April 10, 2012?|
BIOREFINERY: Much like a typical oil refinery, this demonstration facility will take raw plant material, treat it, turn it to oil and, ultimately, turn it into a full suite of transportation fuels.

On former pineapple fields outside of Honolulu, an industrial tube has been erected, ensconced in a steel scaffold. Dwarfed by the nearby oil refinery, the modest tube represents an attempt to one day wean Hawaii from imported oil. It is the nation's first dedicated biorefinery, employing high heat to turn plant matter into oil, followed by chemical catalysis to upgrade that oil into a useable fuel, just like the much larger refinery down the road.
The biorefinery "makes a fuel which is usable in generator sets, boilers and also possibly in marine engines," says chemical engineer Jim Rekoske, vice president of renewable energy and chemicals at Honeywell's UOP, the company responsible for building and operating the facility. By next year, UOP hopes to have the full biorefinery in place, which will be able to make almost any transportation fuel.
As the company has demonstrated elsewhere in the world, it is possible to make jet fuel from plant oils?whether they come from jatropha seeds, the flowering weed camelina or any other oil-producing plant. The same is true for other forms of transportation fuel, whether corn ethanol for cars or algal oil to power ships. The new facility in Hawaii will be the first integrated biorefinery dedicated to churning out bio-based versions of the full range of fuels more commonly made from petroleum.
Island state
Hawaii relies almost entirely on oil for its energy, whether it be gasoline for its cars, jet fuel for the planes that shuttle tourists in and out or even heavier oil to burn in its power plants. All of that oil comes in by supertanker, and even the island's most defensive inhabitant?the U.S. military?is nearly completely reliant on shipped-in fuel. All told, the state imports 45 million barrels of oil a year, nearly a third of which goes to run power plants.
The new biorefinery is a first step to changing that. It will take in biomass?the generic term for the leaves, stems and other bits of plants not typically used for food for humans and livestock. That will include inedible components of Hawaiian crops, such as macadamia nuts and sugarcane, as well as guinea grass and eucalyptus. The oil-rich jatropha plant and other so-called "energy crops" being grown on the island may also pass through the industrial plant, as long as growers are willing to part with it for free (though that may prove unlikely). "We're going to use whatever we can get our hands on," Rekoske says, in a bid to demonstrate the flexibility of the technology.?
The biomass is ground into tiny bits and dried to drive out the water that can make up as much as half of the weight of fresh plant material. The plant flecks fly through the tube where ordinary sand heated to 500 degrees Celsius flashes them to an oil vapor in less than 800 milliseconds in a process called pyrolysis. What is left is the sand and the bits of biomass that cannot be vaporized, such as various salts and some residual char. The vapor exits and the solid bits drop to the bottom, where the char is burned to reheat the sand. "There is enough heat in the combustion of the char to heat the sand up to a high enough temperature to run the pyrolysis," Rekoske claims.
The oil vapor, meanwhile, is condensed into a liquid fuel, which is then further upgraded and processed to make a green fuel similar to the bunker fuel that is used in cargo ship engines and industrial boilers, for example, except it lacks the pollution-causing sulfur common to the bunker fuel refined from petroleum. Potential partners thus range from the U.S. Pacific Command (USPC), based in Honolulu, to local electricity cooperatives. And next year, when the full biorefinery is complete, UOP will be able to make everything from gasoline to jet fuel. "The idea is to make a whole barrel of product out of the biorefinery," Rekoske says.

Many people are beginning to seek jobs that they can perform from home to make extra cash. Some people are even converting to full time work-from-home-positions. Working from home can provide a fruitful alternative to outside work because of the cost of fuel and babysitting. Additionally, one who works from home can set his or her desired work hours. Therefore, a large number of business-minded people are performing tasks such as writing, marketing, web designing and completing paid online surveys for cash. No education or experience is required for online surveys, which makes them a very popular way of earning cash online.
About Surveys
A survey is a series of questions that a consumer answers. The type of questions in a survey depends on the product or service it involves. For example, a survey conducted by a movie company will ask the viewer about his or her movie preferences and such. A survey given by a toothpaste company will ask the consumer about his or her tooth brushing habits.
Companies conduct surveys to find out more about their customers. They analyze the material in the surveys to better their products and services. Without the opinions of the consumers, corporations would not have much information to go on. Therefore, companies are willing to pay consumers for voicing their opinions.
How to Start Taking Surveys
Getting started taking surveys is not complicated. The individual needs to make sure that he or she applies with a reputable website. There are hundreds of survey websites, but not all of them are legitimate. Some sites may be fraudulent or contain a large amount of spam. Additionally, a good survey site will not charge the member for access to surveys. The idea is to make money taking surveys. If a survey site charges a membership fee, then it is not looking out for the consumer?s best interest.
Survey Process
In most cases, the survey taker will have to take a pre-qualification survey to determine whether he or she is fit for a specific questionnaire. For example, the company may be looking for 35-year-old single mothers to take a survey about baby food. A 25-year-old man would not qualify for this particular survey.
After qualifying to take a survey, the individual moves on to the actual survey. Surveys can last from thirty seconds to one full hour. Pay rates vary depending on the company and the length of the questionnaire. Payment for surveys ranges from approximately $1-$20. Some surveys pay more than that and some pay less.
Payment for Paid Online Surveys
Most survey companies pay by PayPal. PayPal has become a very popular form of payment. It is an online payment process in which a person or company pays someone to his or her e-mail address. The individual can then access the funds by sending them to his or her bank account or using a PayPal debit card. PayPal is a very fast and convenient service.
The length of time it takes for a person to receive payment for taking a survey depends on many factors. The survey company may want to conduct verification before they make payment. Verification takes approximately one to three days. In rare cases, verification can take an entire month. That is why choosing the right company to work with makes a world of difference.

If you don?t take care of your home and vehicle, you are not really saving money. If you see a minor problem now and don?t fix it, it will become a major problem later. Taking care of your belongings is an easy thing to do and you will be amazed to see how much you can save.
There is never a time that is too late to start organizing personal finances. If you do this, you will be prepared more than if you had never done it at all. There is no such thing as a bad starting point where finances are concerned.
If you are trying to improve yourself financially, the first step is to stop spending money that you do not need to spend eating out. For about thirty dollars, you can make a substantial and healthy meal. A pizza and two liter soda will cost more than that nowadays.
If you are someone who travels the friendly skies often, it may be a worthwhile investment to enroll in a frequent flier program. A lot of credit card companies give rewards or discounted flight tickets to be redeemed from purchases for no additional charge. These frequent flier miles may be redeemed at various hotels for rooms that are free, or sometimes for discounts on your stays.
When looking to get a home loan, you want to have a 740 for your FICO score. Interest rates on mortgage loans will be better with a credit score in that range. If your credit score is not good, take all the time you need to improve it. Don?t apply for a mortgage with bad credit unless it?s absolutely unavoidable.
Getting the advice of family members that have knowledge of financial issues or work in the finance industry might be more comfortable than getting advice from a stranger. If one does not know anyone in the financial profession, then they should talk to someone that they know has a good handle on their finances and their budget.
You should have at least three months? salary in this account. Take 10 percent of your income and put it into a high-yield savings account.
Open a new savings account at your bank, and deposit money into it on a regular basis. Having funds saved can help you access money quickly in an emergency or because of unforeseen circumstances. What you save does not have be a large amount, but always put something in the account each month. Even saving a little bit each month adds up over time.
To get the most out of your personal finances you should start saving. You need to make saving a priority, and stop putting it off. Put aside a certain percentage of your paycheck every month. Consider it a payment that you must make for your future. If you set yourself as your first ?bill? payment, you will soon build a money cushion.
If you are looking for ways to spend less money on food while traveling abroad, you should find out where the locals eat. Any restaurants that are located in, or near, your hotel are priced higher to capture the tourist market, so look for food places that are away from these areas. This way, you will not be wasting money on delicacies and can enjoy the local cuisine.
A credit card can a good alternative to a debit cards, if you pay it off in full each month. If you apply and are approved for a credit card, use them on day-to-day purchases, such as gas and groceries. Some credit card companies even offer you the chance to earn rewards that can be used for cash back.
An emergency fund can be created by having a set amount of money from each paycheck put into a separate savings account. A cushion that can sustain you for about six months is valuable should you lose your job, obtain an injury or run into another catastrophic situation.
Patience is a valuable asset when it comes to managing your money. People clamor to buy the newest electronics without even thinking about the cost. This usually results in paying top dollar for an item, whereas if you waited just a little, you could have saved a lot. This, in turn, frees up additional cash that can be spent on other items.
Reviewing your personal financial situation can help you feel better while giving you a good idea where you stand financially. Having your finances in order alleviates stress and can let you see the bigger picture and work on other things that need attention.
- In the event that that you would love to find out more about easy personal loans or even in free credit score People highly recommend Credit Deal. The exact same money but simply better deals.

Dear friends of India,
Dear friends of Germany,
IIM Bangalore together with University of St. Gallen is conducting a study with an online-questionnaire regarding ?Negotiation Strategies & Tactics in the Indian-German Context?. The study addresses an important business matter and is undertaken with support of GIRT. It is unique in that it attempts to bring face to face the ?German? view and the ?Indian? view of a number of important points during a typical business negotiation. Hence, the results can be very helpful ? both retrospectively and forward looking. I request your support of this study, which will also promote GIRT?s visibility in the field.
The same team of scientists has already published an interesting study (http://www.sicc.ch/documents/120109-SMEPlatformStudyExecutiveSummary.pdf ) on ?Market Entry Challenges for Swiss Companies? with interesting results.
Prof. Roger Moser, who supervises the study, has told me that he believes it will take half an hour of your time to run through the online-questionnaire. The attached e-mail gives you two links to select from: one, if you want to contribute from a ?German? point of view, the other one, if you want to participate from an ?Indian? point of view.
Prof. Moser has also offered to present the results at one of your GIRT meetings.
Best regards,

Study: Negotiation Strategies & Tactics in the German-Indian Context / Verhandlungsstrategien und -taktiken im Deutsch-Indischen Kontext
Dear Sir or Madam
Negotiations have always been a critical part when doing business. In a globalized world, however, business negotiations enter a new dimension. This makes negotiations even more complex. Our study examines which negotiation strategies and tactics in the Indian-German context work best, integrating experiences and perceptions from Indian and German/Swiss managers.
We therefore would like to invite you to participate in this study reflecting upon your expertise and experiences in the Indian-German business context.
The questionnaire takes around 25-35 minutes. It covers the brief evaluation of four basic negotiation strategies and in more detail the appropriateness of five out of ten randomly assigned negotiation tactics in the Indian-German context in order to minimize your time investment.
All participants receive an exclusive summary of the study results not only for five but all ten evaluated negotiation tactics!
This is a joint research project of the University of St. Gallen, EBS Business School and IIM Bangalore kindly supported by the German-Indian Round Table.
For any questions, please feel free to contact Mr. Carl Cohrssen (carl.cohrssen@ebs.de).
The online survey is accessible until April 27th, 2012 through one of the following two links:
https://qtrial.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_575oDIanvfwoel6?? (Link zur Studie in Deutsch mit Deutscher/Schweizer Perspektive)
http://survey.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_6WjTcscTdDeIo0Q?? (Link to Study in English evaluating the Indian Perspective)
Each participant only needs to fill in one of the two questionnaires based on her/his origin.
We thank you very much for your support.

ROQUEBRUNE, France (AP) ? Bob and Mike Bryan defeated Julien Benneteau and Michael Llodra 6-4, 6-4, 7-6 (4) Saturday to give the United States a 2-1 lead over France in their Davis Cup quarterfinal.
The Bryans, the top-ranked doubles team, have not lost a Davis Cup match since 2008. They were rarely troubled against a French pair that struggled to find any rhythm on the clay at the Monte Carlo Country Club.
"We were ready for a dogfight," Bob Bryan said. "I thought we did a great job of not letting the crowd get too loud."
On Sunday, No. 11 John Isner faced sixth-ranked Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in singles. Teenager Ryan Harrison, ranked 66th will play No. 13 Gilles Simon.
"Jo is capable of beating him," France captain Guy Forget said. "We're better ranked than them, so we have to go out and win."
Tsonga looked shaky at times when he beat the inexperienced Harrison in four sets on Friday. Isner's huge serve and dominant forehand present a much bigger threat than Harrison's shot-making.
"He wanted to play on clay, now we must go and get the win. We all have our duties and responsibilities," Forget said. "It's a heavyweight contest between two big hitters."
On Saturday, the French pair lost their serve at the start of the first and second set. Although they showed more fight in the third set, the Bryans did not have to face a single break point.
The United States trailed 2-1 in the tiebreaker, but quickly rallied for a 5-2.
Llodra's long forehand offered match point, which the Americans converted when Benneteau's backhand down the line sailed out.
"We both served at a high percentage, that's always key," Mike Bryan said. "We're good frontrunners, so we played hard."
Forget was disappointed with how his players approached the match, and said they lacked composure.
The tone was set from the start when Llodra's double fault gifted the Americans the lead, even though France had been 40-30 up in the opening game. Mike Bryan's crisp volley made it 2-0 and Benneteau had to save a break point in the next game.
The last time the Bryans lost a Davis Cup match together was against France, four years ago, when Llodra played alongside Arnaud Clement.

The story of Passover: It's a long time ago. We're slaves in Egypt. Pharaoh is a nightmare. We cry out for help. God brings plagues upon the Egyptians. We escape, bake some matzoh. God parts the Red Sea. We make it through; the Egyptians aren't so lucky. We wander 40 years in the desert, eat manna, get the Torah, wind up in Israel, get a new temple, enjoy several years without being persecuted again. (Let brisket cool now.)

A San Francisco judge has dismissed a proposed class-action lawsuit that sought to stop McDonald's Corp. from using toys to market its meals to children in California.
By The Associated Press
?
Children in California will still be able to get toys with their Happy Meals.
A San Francisco judge has dismissed a proposed class-action lawsuit that sought to stop McDonald's Corp. from using toys to market its meals to children in the Golden State. The suit had been filed in late 2010 by Monet Parham, a California mother of two, and The Center for Science in the Public Interest, a consumer advocacy group based in Washington, D.C.
The suit had claimed that the world's biggest hamburger chain was violating consumer protection laws and exploiting children's vulnerability by using toys to lure them to eat nutritionally unbalanced meals that can lead to obesity. The lawsuit did not seek damages.
McDonald's spokeswoman Danya Proud said that the lawsuit was without merit and detracted from "the important issue of children's health and nutrition."
"We are proud of our Happy Meals and will vigorously defend our brand, our reputation and our food," Proud said in the statement. "We stand on our 30-year track record of providing a fun experience for kids and families at McDonald's."
The Center for Science in the Public Interest said in a statement that it will discuss with Parham whether to appeal the case. The group called the use of toys to market food a "predatory practice that undermines parents, causes rifts in families and harms kids' health."
The suit, filed in the county of San Francisco, was dismissed by Judge Richard Kramer on Wednesday.
Do you agree with the judge's ruling?

A Nurse practitioner (NP) is usually a Registered Nurse who?s finished graduate level schooling (whether Masters or Doctorate diploma) in nursing and may be nationwide credentialed. Nurse Practitioners have a substantially expanded range of practice over the traditional Registered nurse position. Nurse practitioners concentrate on any individual?s overall health plus disease developing disease prevention, wellness support, and patient knowledge top goals of practice. This function for the nurse practitioner focuses on equally care and also cure. Nurses working in the NP role get just about six-hundred million appointments yearly in several clinic environments.
Initially, to become a good NP, it?s essential to be licensed as a Registered Nurse. Nearly all states also mandate that a nurse have an more advanced college degree in nursing (masters or doctoral diploma) as a way to get accreditation. There are some people that feel that the nurse practitioner should be required to get a doctoral degree before accreditation. Considering the fact that the nurse industry is actually state regulated, the strategic planning in creating this improvement would necessitate that every state alter the rules relating to the profession. In spite of a move to have that higher-level required by 2015, it?s actually uncertain that this may occur in that rapid a period of time.
At the moment, in the majority of of the United States, any nurse should be accredited by way of a national accreditation organization to be able to work as an actual nurse practitioner. The 2 best known licensing establishments include the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) along with the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners (AANP). Each of these groups mandate the applicant will need to have an advanced higher education degree from a certified nursing program to be able to sit for the certification test. In addition, each and every accreditation mandates a minimum volume of training hrs in the discipline related to the niche. Certification is usually for the time period of two to five yrs. To be able to maintain qualifications, the NP must either get a minimum number of ce units (CEUs) during every qualification period or complete and pass a certification exam once more. The majority of accreditations likewise have minimum practice prerequisites with regard to retaining accreditation.
NPs execute comprehensive history taking, bodily exams, ordering then deciphering tests, rendering proper therapy, and recommending drug treatments. An NP serves as the patient?s prime health care provider augmenting the vocation by supplying independent primary care solutions to patients of every age. Although other nurses will not render clinical diagnoses, the NP is actually expected to assess and diagnose medical conditions. Many of the capabilities of the NP require totally unbiased decision making and also diagnostic abilities.
In the United States, the function of the nurse practitioner is governed through the state, and so the scope of work may differ based on state level guidelines. The Pearson Report supplies a recent state by state summary of the exact functions a nurse practitioner can perform within the state ?and also restrictions of the job. Many states enable NPs to write prescriptions ? while some others do not. Just before choosing to become a Nurse Practitioner, you should know what you will be expected and permitted to do while in the function.
A Nurse Practitioner can be certified in a range of elements of practice. The NP can perform in every health care setting, and, indeed, may very well run offices and supply health care in environments without one on one doctor oversight.
Being a Nurse Practitioner takes a great deal of commitment to the care giving field. Nevertheless, reaching this specific high level of practice may be done one step at a stretch acquiring an ADN or BSN certification and then gradually going after the more advanced educational stages and knowledge necessary for accreditation. Even though NP accreditation may take six or more years, you CAN do the job, care for medical patients, master your art, and make an income while you are working toward the end objective. Nurse Practitioners supply high-quality care , typically at a lower cost to the patient. Whenever patients see the NP as a main health care supplier, the person generally will have far fewer trips to the Emergency Department, far fewer and reduced hospital visits, and far fewer additional complications for recurring medical ailments.
