The staff of St. Albans Sanatorium is ingenious when it comes to fundraising for their cause. “We hold any number of events to raise money for St. Albans,” said Marcelle Hanauer, director of operations for the sanatorium. Over the years that has meant a dedicated cadre of volunteers was needed to man activities as diverse as zombie walks, history tours, and the wildly successful haunted house. “These events raise funds for renovations to St. Albans,” said Marcelle Hanauer, director of operations

Algernon Charles Swinburne’s poem, “A Ballad of Dreamland” presents the world of dreams as an escape from the sadness of his real life.

The speaker acknowledges, at the end of every stanza, that something always manages to force him out of his dreams without

Shells of the bivalve genus Astarte are known for variable morphology and polymorphism within living and fossil species. Astarte borealis, the most common living species, is recognizable and common among mid-to-high latitude North Pacific, Arctic Ocean and North Atlantic, and has been previously subdivided into several subspecies and varieties based on variations in overall shell shape. A collection of 641 Recent specimens of A. borealis from Camden Bay, northern Alaska, with intact outlines was

Introduction Nowadays, with the modern technology development, there are more and more different chemistry uses in food industry, like food storage, transportation and many ways which will need food additives to keep food fresh and nutritious. The food additive’s main difference lies in whether it is naturally formed or artifically synthesized. Except from this, China divides food additives into 24 different food additives including flavoring agents, coloring agents, bleaching agent, texturizing

Refrigeration, a key technology invention is a major factor influencing the current modern food system and has had both negative and positive impacts on the average American consumption of food. The ability to refrigerate foods has made it easier to store foods for longer time periods, increased food shelf life, lessened bacteria contamination upon entering stores, decreased food waste due to damage occurring in transportation, and increased customer food options. Before refrigerators there were

While food irradiation is widely approved for human use there are still skeptics that point to the issues when deciding whether or not to use alternatives. Food irradiation is approved by the WHO, FDA, and CDC (Fda.gov) and is used worldwide. However, there are many critics that point to the flaws in the process. The deciding factor for food irradiation is whether or not you see the downsides as outweighing the benefits or vice versa. The main use for food irradiation is to sterilize and extend the

Dietary Wisdom Reflection Paper During the past weeks, in health class, we have been learning about diet and what makes a diet a healthy diet where there is no danger of you getting some sort of sickness or health problem. In the process we had decided that what made a plate healthy was balance. You had to have a balance between macronutrients and micronutrients with what you ate and so we learned about the healthy eating plate. This plate gave us an idea of what a meal of the day should look like

Food irradiation is when companies use radiation to treat food so it has a longer shelf life by reducing microorganisms that may be present in untreated foods. Flavor, odor, appearance, and even the texture of food can be ruined due to the irradiation. Besides the obvious factors that ruin the food, serious questions have been raised as to whether irradiated foods are even safe to eat. Irradiation can not kill all bacteria in food; the bacteria that survives is radiation resistant and eventually

Storing meat in a vacuum sealed bag is the best way to keep the meat fresh. You can just seal the meat up and store in a cooler or freezer. The great thing about a vacuum sealed bag is that the air seals up the meat without leaving any inside the bag. Ziplock bags have a tendency to not close properly, and the air inside the bag will cause meat to go bad faster. Meat may lose its flavor if you don’t properly seal the bag. Any meat that you buy from the store or you have hunted can store in a

The purpose of this laboratory experiment was to identify the molarities of dye present in green Powerade and then create a solution that possessed the same concentrations. This experiment consisted of two parts of experimentation, the first part focused on identifying the dyes present and at what concentration, and the second part focused on the recreation of the stock solution. To successfully complete this experiment, a small cuvette, full of 2 mL of green Powerade, was placed into a UV spectrometer

Trey Rickabaugh Mrs. Smith CP English 9 3 March 2023 Frozen Foods Frozen foods are part of American life let's dive in to figure out more of the history. frozen foods have been around for a long time, it is mostly used for conserving foods so they will not have to produce more waste. Frozen foods also help with how much it is needed to survive because the production rates of crops would have to increase just to feed America, without being able to conserve food so it does not go bad. This Research

In 1919, ConAgra started life under the name of Nebraska Consolidated Mills (NCM), when Alva Kinney collected four of that region’s diverse grain mills (ConAgra Foods advertising profile, 2014). So the business continued and endured for the next 30 years, notwithstanding a divergence into Alabama in the 1940s, when this firm launched a new mill. Early in the 1950s, NCM expanded their business to include an instantaneous cake mix and commenced to commercialize it beneath the brand name Duncan Hines

There have not been many people that have gone on the opposition of organic foods and its production, but there is one that clearly states his disbelief and ethics in the organic foods idea, an American agronomist, Norman Borlaug. Borlaug was once asked about his opinion on organic foods and was very detailed in his response giving details and examples. He takes the route suggesting that organic foods will have no way of feeding the whole world and there is no way to live in a world without using

Most food manufacturers use plenty of unhealthy and even suspicious ingredients in order to extend the shelf life of their food items. This means that you need to stay away from these toxic ingredients at all costs if you are to protect your health… Here are the top 10 offenders (not ranked according to the level of harm they cause): 1. Monosodium Glutamate ( MSG) MSG is an amino acid typically used to enhance the flavor of processed foods. It is well-known excitotoxin, which has been scientifically

Hatchet, by Gary Paulsen, has 195 pages and 19 chapters. A thirteen year old boy named Brian Robeson was on a plane to see his father in Canada. The only other person on the plane was the pilot. Since he was the only other person on the plane, the pilot showed him how to use the controls. The pilot suddenly started to have a heart attack in the middle of the flight and soon died. Since the pilot taught him, Brian flew the plane. He also tried to call for help, until the plane ran out of fuel and

Without a doubt, the Roaring Twenties brought along easier ways to handle, prepare, and store food. Both new inventions and upgraded ones contributed to easing the hassle of preparing foods. One of the most significant upgrades came with the refrigerator which now had a built-in compartment for freezing food and ice (“Inventions in the 1920's"). People no longer had to waste uneaten food. Instead they could resort to wrapping and freezing it which helped it to last longer than it would in the fridge

Preservation is based predominantly on delaying or preventing the growth of microorganism, and less commonly, with the exception of thermal processing, an outright killing that is more typical of disinfection (Russell et al, 1999). There are several forms of food preservation methods such as smoking, freezing, dehydration, pasteurisation and as referred to in this essay, irradiation. Foods are processed and preserved to provide the consumer with a higher standard of product over a longer period of

Most people can agree that processed food such as bacon is delicious for its taste and smell but what gives it those characteristics? A chemical preservative known as sodium nitrate is the substance that allows processed foods to have those specific qualities. At first, sodium nitrate may seem like a positive factor in those types of food but there have been many controversies about it concerning health issues. Based on some specific studies and organizations, the use of sodium nitrate as a preservative
