    I find it interesting that this article can be related to multiple themes, depending on how you perceive it. This topic and the idea of germ arsenals could be incredibly deadly and has the potential, if used in the future, to obliterate entire groups of people leaving them vulnerable and their homelands verminous.

    Numerous themes can be identified in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. After the area of Crimea was invaded by Russia, several brawls and attacks have ensued. Is the Russian convoy entering Ukraine a sign of compromise or war?

    I really enjoyed watching your video! You both did a great job explaining how to make the dishes! I also liked how you brought in the "judge" to make it look like a real cooking show! Great job guys!!
  • bbaker2 on 12 Nov 14
     
    I like how you gave a lot of history on each of the dishes. You provided good background knowledge on the dishes for the viewers before they watch your video. Also, your idea to have a judge for the food was really cool! Good job on your video!

    Great job, ladies! I really liked how organized your website was. You also gave a lot of information about your dishes, which was very good. They both looked so good! I think you guys are both winners!

    The cook it at home recipe is pretty cool. Your information is very detailed and covers any questions I might have had.

    I really enjoyed watching your video. The directions were very specific and the food looked really good! I especially liked the part where the judge, "Gordon Oliver", tried the dishes because it was different than a lot of the other food videos.

    I really liked how your video was like a real cooking show! I liked the taste test at the end and the interviews at the beginning that showed the history of the dishes.

  • karasmith3 on 13 Nov 14
     
    Good job with your video, especially with the beginning intro scenes and the last scene! Sadhana, you should have won by default because of Lauren's brother being the judge! I wonder which one of your recipes was actually better?
  • mholbert on 13 Nov 14
     
    Your website was very neat and easy to navigate. I like how you made it like a real show with the judge at the end. Both foods follow the characteristics of folk culture and that the origin is anonymous.

    I liked how the video was set up like a real cooking show. You guys also presented great information about the food's background, as I never heard of the Qatar dish.

    I really liked the design of the website and that it was based on a real cooking show. I thought the dishes were interesting and displayed how the resources available to countries often affects their folk culture.
  • Gemma Standley on 14 Nov 14
     
    Great job! The beginning scenes were very informative, and I thought it was interesting how there are different theories on the origin of the tortilla española, which is a great characteristic of a folk culture.
  • kskurcenski on 14 Nov 14
     
    I enjoyed your website very much! I like how you incorporated background information into your video as well as your website. It was great to see how well these folk foods relate to what we learn in class. For example, Lauren's food dish has no known origin. This is one of the characteristics of folk culture. Great job over all!

    I loved the concept of "The Next Top Chef"! The organization of the website is great and I liked how you provided background information. It was also interesting to see the characteristics of culture embedded in the food. Overall, great job!

If you answered "yes" to either of these questions, come check out this site to learn about popular food found in Portugal, Sierra Leone, and Slovenia.

    So much variation of food preferences in Southern Europe. The video of the food preparation was great too, showing what is native the the regions. Well Done!

    I love this website!!! Your videos were so funny but also showed great dishes. I loved how you had your website organized to the three regions of where your foods came from. The information was very informative. It really related to the things we have been talking about in class like how people create their dishes with the resources they have around them. There were great examples of folk dishes. Great job guys!!

  • The anthropologist said that women are also organizing unions and becoming labor activists to improve working conditions in both the border-town maquiladoras and in Sinaloa's shrimp fisheries

      I found it interesting that Maria Cruz was able to switch from beaming a doctor to become person who studied the environment and the effect it has on people. Also it was cool that she was able to use what she learned in medical school and apply it to her new course of study.

      This relates to what we are studying in class because the maquiladoras are working for very low incomes. This is not very much but it is a site factor for the United States. They would rather transport materials across the border and have cheap labor. The problem is that the people that work in the factories are in very bad conditions and have to ban to gather to form unions to get better labor conditions.

      What are some cons to unions?
    • Nicole Weenink
      Nicole Weenink on 03 Apr 14
       
      This relates to cultural landscape because the humans are modifying the landscape with the shrimp. There is pollution which modifies the environment and people are working to overcome this pollution and keep their families safe.

      http://allafrica.com/stories/201403290105.html Relates to the article because it says that women make up the majority of maquiladoras.

      Veronica - great connection to point-source pollution ... I agree, seafood from the Gulf could be contaminated.
  • Veronica Werner on 07 Apr 14
     
    I found it interesting how the article referred to the point-source water pollution from the shrimp industry. The chemical pollution in the water comes from industrial and agricultural sources related to shrimp. While the shrimp industry is important to Mexico's economy, it also has downsides, including health issues coming from the pollution of water that may go untreated.

Why Acquisitions Make Sense In Consumer And Retail - Forbes - 2 views

  • This bodes well for growth companies in the consumer and retail space. It also bodes well for investors, whether they use an online investing platform or invest offline.
  • The total value of consumer-retail deals actually exceeded the value of internet and software M&A, combined, in 2013. In 2013, the consumer and retail market was about $91 billion according to PriceWaterhouseCooper.  The internet and software industries had a total of $55 billion in M&A for 2013.

    Retail services are so profitable and this relates to cultural landscape, because it says something about a land that spends and earns more money in services that help consumers than in areas that supply food and resources.
  • Liam Darr on 10 Apr 14
     
    Retail services are one of the largest areas of consumer services and the tertiary sector as a whole.
  • Liam Darr on 10 Apr 14
     
    I wonder if these services will become more or less profitable in the future?
  • Liam Darr on 10 Apr 14
     
    http://qz.com/#197172/samsung-just-uncovered-a-market-with-150-million-new-customers/ this link relates to retail services, because it dicusses communications services, which are a part of the tertiary sector as is the retail service.
  • Eric Bossert on 10 Apr 14
     
    I would believe that the consumer sector would out do the tech sector simply for the fact that it is more traditional. People are more used to shopping and buying things in person, so tech services trying to let people buy things online face an uphill battle one getting people to switch over. Also everyone has to buy things at some point at a retail store, but not everyone will need help with their technology.
  • Nathan Saphore on 10 Apr 14
     
    I believe that we would expect to see an increase in the profits of tech services because as more and more people grow familiar with these services, it is much more convenient and easier for them, like using online shopping rather than going out and spending the time and effort to shop in person. This can be shown by companies like Blockbusters and Borders who went out of business due to at home conveniences of the internet. However, some retail stores and services cannot, and most likely will not, go away because people need what they sell right away, such as grocery stores.
