History of Coca Cola

There could be hardly any person around the world that hasn't heard the name Coca Cola.
Ever since it beginning as world's leading name in cold drinks, Coca Cola has created a strong
brand image irrespective of age, sex and geographical locations. Millions of people around the
world are consuming cold drinks or soft drinks as part of their daily meal. Coca Cola, ever
since its inception has been the leader in soft drink market, however another most popular
name that we should mention is Pepsi that has recently been at the forefront of soft drink
market across the globe.

If we try to trace back the history of Coca Cola, we will see that the story of Coca Cola started
in Atlanta Georgia more than 100 years ago (in year 1886) when Doctor John Pemberton
invented it. However, its taste and ingredients have changed over the period of time but when
it comes to the brand image it is second to none. , its origins and original recipe as an elixir
are quite different than they are today. As far as brand rivalry is concerned Coca Cola and
Pepsi top the list. Perhaps these soft drinks companies have enjoyed a leadership position
worldwide. They have been a great topic for debate for common man and brand managers,
alike.

A very few people actually know that what they drink as a soft drink was originally intended
as a patent medicine during its invention by John Pemberton in the late 19th century. Many
sources claim that Coca Cola was first sold on May 8, 1886 to the public at the soda fountain
in Jacob's Pharmacy in Atlanta. You will be surprised to note that Coca Cola is sold in more
than 200 countries with different brand names and tastes. But the same charm continues as it
was years ago. And now it has become a household name world over.

We think the story would be incomplete if don't mention another most popular brand name
McDonald's. When it comes to fast food, McDonald tops the list. The history of McDonald's
was started in 1940 when two brothers Dick and Mac McDonald started their fast food
business in California. Apart from several well known food items McDonald's is know for its
hamburgers. In the year 1948 they reinvented their restaurant by introducing Speedy Service
System. So apart from quality of hamburgers, the other major thing was timely delivery of
your hamburgers at your home. So no wait, no queue, just order your burger and it will be
delivered at your doorstep within no time.
5 metals that may be brighter than gold

Copper

This is one of the most versatile metals. It's used to make electrical wiring, car batteries,
microchip circuitry, pipes for plumbing in homes and commercial buildings, roof flashing,
gutters, musical instruments and solar power cells. Copper can also be mixed with other
metals to make valuable alloys such as bronze, pewter and brass.

Zinc

Like copper, zinc is present in many alloys (in fact, zinc and copper are both in brass and
bronze). Zinc is also important for die-casting, galvanizing and rubber making and can be
used as a paint pigment, wood preservative and agricultural fungicide. As a dietary
supplement, it is thought to have antioxidant properties that speed healing and slow aging.

Silver

Besides its well-known uses in making jewelry, silverware and coins, silver is in dental
fillings, architectural glass and hearing aids. Some musical instruments are made of silver or
silver alloys and silver is used to produce formaldehyde. Because it has antibacterial and
antifungal properties, it is included in catheters and other medical devices to reduce the risk of
infection. It is even added to socks to help control bacteria-related foot odor.

Platinum

As a primarily industrial metal, platinum plays the role of catalyst in the processing of
petroleum and chemicals such as nitric acid, fertilizers and synthetic fibers. It is also a vital
component of high-voltage wires, magnetic coatings for high-density hard disk drives, fiber
optics, fiberglass, catalytic converters and spark plugs.

Palladium

Like platinum and silver, palladium plays key roles in the dental, chemical and auto fields.
iPhones and other electronics might not even exist if it weren't for palladium. Also known as
"white gold," palladium is used to make jewelry and watches, too.
Best Tips For Natural and Eco Friendly Living

By following the tips below, you will soon find yourself breezing through the day as naturally
as you've always wanted to!
1. Buy certified organic food from a local market or health food store. You will soon find that
it doesn't need to be expensive. Just compare prices from your local sources and grab good
bargains.

2. Stop using plastics. This might seem almost impossible, but it can be done. Start by
replacing your plastic food containers with glass jars. You can replace your children's plastic
lunch wrap with unwaxed wrap.

3. Look at ingredients on labels.Buy a small reference book with additive and preservative
codes, to take shopping. Only buy products that don't contain those nasties.

4. Stop using sunscreen. By looking at the ingredients on your average sunscreen, you'll
notice that they are full of highly toxic additives. Instead,go out in the sun when the rays are
the least harmful - early mornings or late afternoons. And carry an umbrella for shade at other
times!

5. Drink fresh and organic vegetable juices daily. This might be the best thing you could do
for your overall health. A fantastic way to detox, energize and give your taste buds a real
treat.

6. Drink lots of clean water. Your body constantly needs to replenish lost fluids. Clean,
filtered water is the best way to doing this. The average adult needs to drink a minimum 8
glasses per day. It will help you lose weight too!

7. Create a Feng Shui environment in your home. Feng Shui means the force of wind and the
flow of water. It is the ancient Chinese practice of harmonising the energies of Yin (female)
and Yang (male) in the environment. If there is too much Yin energy in your home, you need
to add more Yang. Create harmony in your home by learning about this wise practice.

8. Find out how you can use truly natural and organic ways to enhance your beauty.

Did you know that strawberries are a fantastic, natural tooth whitener? And apple cider
vinegar creates a beautiful shine to your hair? Find out more.

9. Learn from animals and birds. Have you noticed that they often go to sleep at dusk? They
also eat 100% raw food. Maybe you could do the same. You might be surprised at the results!

10. Wear natural materials. Instead of synthetics made from toxic petrochemicals, treat your
body to the comfort and eco friendly materials such as organic cotton, hemp and other plant
based fabrics. You may pay slightly more, but your body and the planet will thank you.
How Do Clouds Form?

Clouds are floating bodies in the atmosphere which are visible in various shapes and sizes.
Any planet in the solar system having atmosphere like Earth, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn and Mars
will have clouds, which are essentially condensed water droplets. Sometimes these clouds
also contain crystals of ice. These are formed when air comes in direct contact with a cold
surface, or if a surface is cooled by radiation and air blows over such surface. Since the
temperature of the air falls below saturation level, the cloud is formed which moves up to
higher levels.

When water in lakes, ponds, rivers and sea get warm by absorption of heat from the sun, they
evaporate and this water vapor condenses at higher altitudes forming clouds.

When two bodies of air in the atmosphere having different saturation temperatures mix
together, it results in formation of clouds. When warm air blows over a surface, which is cold,
water droplets get accumulated. These droplets then get lifted into the air and this moves up to
higher altitudes forming clouds. Sometimes the surrounding air remains at the same
temperature, but absorbs more moisture causing condensation of water to form clouds.

Cold or warm surfaces and even sides of mountains are suitable for forming clouds.

If the cloud is formed by warm air moving over cold surfaces causing water vapor to get
carried away, the color of such clouds is white. When the water droplets in the clouds
combine and form bigger droplets owing to the cloud maturing, they appear grey or blackish
in color. Other colors like yellow, green or blue are created naturally in the clouds.

The History of Watermelon

Nothing says delicious quite like a sweet, juicy watermelon. The thought of one for many
people brings back memories of summer picnics where you could bite into the bright,
mouthwatering flesh of this thirst-quenching treat. A popular fruit enjoyed around the world,
the watermelon provides nutrients to those who eat it. Important as a food staple worldwide, it
found its ways to different regions around the globe. Looking into the history of the
watermelon, we can trace its origins to where it first grew and found a way into our diets.

Characteristics of the Watermelon

The watermelon grows on vines on the ground. A member of the Cucurbitaceae family, the
watermelon shares a relationship with cantaloupe, squash and pumpkin. Some varieties of
watermelon come with a variety of rind and flesh colors. The inside flesh of the popular
varieties are red or yellow. Round, oblong or spherical in shape, the watermelon grows in
many different shapes. The thick rind of the plant sports spotted, striped and solid green
colors.
Origin of the Watermelon

Thought to be the ancestor of the original watermelon, the white-skinned citron first grew in
the Kalahari Desert of Africa. Egyptians recorded the earliest harvest of them 5000 years ago.
Important to the culture of the Egyptians, watermelons were depicted in hieroglyphics that
adorned the ancient walls of their structures. They buried the fruit in the tombs of their kings
because they believed it nourished them in the afterlife.

Watermelons later spread by merchant ships to other countries as they traveled to conduct
their business. The plants flourished along the Mediterranean Sea, and by the 10th century
they made their way to China. Later in the 13th century the Moors helped spread the
watermelon throughout Europe.

The watermelon may have made its way to the United States during the African slavery trade
via slaves carrying the seeds on the ships. The word watermelon made its first debut in the
English Dictionary in 1615. There are five states that currently lead watermelon production in
the U.S: Florida, Texas, California, Georgia and Arizona. The United States ranks as number
four in worldwide production of watermelon. China holds the number one spot.

Watermelon Cultivation

Watermelons come in 1200 different varieties. Recent cultivations led to development of

several desirable characteristics of the fruit, including seedless varieties and ones with thin
rinds. Importation and exportation of the watermelon allows for enjoyment of it all year.

Fun Facts about Watermelon

 96 countries grow watermelons globally.

 Considered a polite gesture, the Chinese and Japanese often give watermelons to the
host when they visit.
 Israelis and Egyptians enjoy salads made with sweet watermelon and salty feta cheese.
 Watermelon has a 92% water composition.
 The first cookbook published in the United States included a recipe for watermelon
rind pickles.
 The largest watermelon ever grown weighed in at 268.8 pounds.
 Watermelon contains plenty of vitamins A, B6 and C.
 You can eat every part of a watermelon, including the seeds and rinds.

The History of Ice Skating

The practice of ice skating is common in many countries around the world. It usually takes
place on man-made ice rinks nowadays, although “cold” countries like Sweden and Canada,
for example, keep the tradition of skating on frozen rivers and lakes very much alive.
Archeological findings suggest that it had been around for thousands of years – whether as a
recreational activity or as a means of transportation – before it spawned various types of
competitive sports in the modern age.
Early Ice Skating

The most primitive form of ice skating (dating back to ancient times and probably originating
in Europe) involved skates made out of bones to slide over frozen bodies of water. Early
skates were very basic in concept and consisted of a flat surface that skaters used to glide on
ice. It is believed that the Dutch brought the significant advancement of integrating blades to
the skates as early as the 13th century.

Once the blades had been invented, ice skates would not undergo any more major changes.
The only notable one came much later and consisted of attaching the blades to the soles of
dedicated shoes. These are the modern skates as we know them, whose primary characteristics
are increased balance and sturdiness.

Figure Skating

Figure skating, the sport’s most artistic and perhaps most popular form, elegantly combines
dancing, gymnastics and skating. It has been around for hundreds of years in a very
rudimentary and austere form, probably due to the fact that ice skating had for a long time
been reserved strictly for Europe’s wealthy elites. In the mid-19th century, Jackson Haines (an
American from New York) revolutionized the art by adding to it a variety of bold and
energetic moves.

Haines’s style turned him into a phenomenon and helped him win the U.S. championships
before moving to Europe. It was in Vienna, Austria, that his new form of figure skating really
caught on and was later developed into a full-blown sport with a complex set of rules. Figure
skating then made its way back to America as a truly international sport and became more
institutionalized. It is today governed by an international federation and is a very demanding
sport; in fact, most Olympic skaters have been skating for most of their lives.

Amateur Status in Figure Skating

Amateur status used to bear a lot of significance in the world of figure skating. Until 1995,
competitive (Olympic) ice skating was a strictly amateur discipline with no financial
compensation. As a result, many Olympic skaters decided to cut their careers short in order to
join the more lucrative entertainment industry, which prompted the international federation to
amend the rules and allow figure skaters to earn money. Figure skating is a prominent fixture
in the Winter Olympics and remains very popular in the entertainment world as well.

Other disciplines entered the Winter Olympics, such as speed skating and short-track speed
skating (which take place in an oval-shaped rink and for which athletes use much longer
skates), and of course ice hockey, which is a very popular sport in Scandinavia, Eastern
Europe and North America.
History of Disneyland

For many children all over the world, Disneyland is the Mecca of childhood dreams. Theme
park attractions such as colorful stage and street shows with dancing and singing fairy tale
characters, exciting themed rides and games, special tours to movie sets of popular films, and
great food and accommodations mark the total family-friendly Disneyland experience. Every
year, millions of tourists visit the theme parks of Disneyland in different parts of the world.

The Idea of a Theme Park

The idea for a theme park came to Walt Disney when he was visiting Griffith Park with his
daughters Diane and Sharon. While watching his daughters ride the merry-go-round, Disney
thought of building a place where both adults and children can appreciate and enjoy the rides
and games.

Although many people have written to Disney, requesting to visit the movie sets of popular
films, Disney thought a regular movie set would appear generally uninteresting to the regular
moviegoer. This urging from the fans, however, germinated the idea of a theme park that can
recreate the fantasy seen in Disney movies.

The Happiest Place on Earth

Building the “Happiest Place on Earth,” as Disneyland is known throughout the world, took a
long time and many highly skilled and creative people. To begin with, Walt Disney went to
the Stanford Research Institute and hired a consultant, Harrison Price, to gauge the proper
area to locate the theme park based on the area’s potential growth. Based on Price’s report,
Disney bought 160 acres of land in Anaheim, southeast of Los Angeles in Orange County.

Funding was solved through a partnership between Disney and ABC Network. To raise funds
for the theme park, Disney created a children’s show called Disneyland. In exchange for this,
ABC Network partially funded Disney’s theme park project.

For the first five years, Disneyland the TV Show was owned by a corporation composed of
Walt Disney himself, Walt Disney Productions, Western Publishing, and ABC Network. In
1960, after it bought out Walt Disney and Western Publishing from the partnership, Walt
Disney Productions bought out ABC Network’s share in the project. By this time, enough
funding was available for construction to begin in July 18, 1954. Exactly one year later, the
Disneyland Theme Park opened to the public.

Black Sunday

The day before the opening day, a press conference was held. It was by-invitation only, as
well as, the opening day festivities. However, the event did not go as smoothly as planned.
The “special preview” was plagued by problems: counterfeit tickets, newly built asphalt
grounds, an unusually hot day, and a plumbers’ strike that left the water fountains dry.

The counterfeit tickets caused the crowd to swell. The freshly poured asphalt was still soft and
the women’s high-heeled shoes sank into soft park grounds. Food vendors ran out of food. A
gas leak in Fantasyland caused theme park management to close down Adventureland,
Frontierland, and Fantasyland for the afternoon.

The unusually hot temperature made the people thirsty, but since Walt Disney chose to have
running toilets instead of fountains, there was no option but to buy Pepsi, one of the sponsors,
from the kiosks. People were enraged and blamed Pepsi for deliberately taking advantage of
the dry drinking fountains to sell more soda.

To counter the bad press received by Disneyland that day, Walt Disney invited special guests
and friends in the media for a “second viewing” so they could enjoy the true Disneyland
experience. After the viewing, Walt held a party at the Disneyland Hotel for them.

Because of all the problems encountered on that fateful Sunday, it will be forever referred as
“Black Sunday” by Walt and his 1955 executives. Since that day, Disney has referred to July
18 as Dedication Day, and never mentioned July 18 as the opening day, even in the park’s
publications.

From Theme Park to Resort

The transition from theme park to resort began in the 1990s. Disneyland Park, Disneyland
Hotel, and the parking lot as well as the surrounding properties were marked for integration
into a major vacation resort development. However, the park’s management was plagued by
personnel problems and mismanagement issues, which pushed executives to shift and change
people often.

Finally, in 2003, Matt Ouimet, former president of the Disney cruise Line, took over the
management of Disneyland resort. Together with Greg Emmer as Senior Vice-President of
Operations, they were able to turn around the problems regarding cosmetic maintenance and
safety maintenance schedules.

The Fattest Man on the Planet: 560 kg (1,244

pounds)!

Guinness World Records is going to register him. Mexican Manuel Uribe had reached 560
kilos (1,244 pounds) weight but has already lost 200 kilos (444 pounds) because of the Zone
diet. Uribe wants to also break the record for drastic slimming.

"I'm happy to be included in the Guinness World Records as the fattest man on the planet. I'm
also happy that I have managed slimming 200 kg", said Uribe, now aged 42.

He lives in Monterrey (northern Mexico). It is reported that

Guinness authorities have informed him that he will be on the 2008 edition of the Records
Book and on the 2009 one for the most incredible weight loss in a year (200 kilograms). He
celebrated the event, managing to go out of the house aboard a trailer. Guinness offered him
for his weight performance a glass plaque.
His photograph is included in the 2008 Guinness Book of Records alongside a description of
the treatment he has had and offers of surgery he has received so far.

Uribe has been suffering from obesity for 20 years. At 20 years, he was working in US and
weighed 130 kg (289 pounds) at a height of 1.95 m. He looked for medical help in 2006,
when he reached 560 kilograms. Uribe appeared then on a TV channel asking to be helped to
escape excess weight that kept him captive in the house for almost 20 years.

For the moment, Uribe cannot move by himself and lives immobilized on bed, his mother
taking care of him. At 362 kg (800 lbs), Uribe is still morbidly obese but in March 2007 he set
a goal: to slim till 120 kg (254 pounds).

Uribe's weight history:

1966 - Birth weight 6lbs (2.7 kg)

1984 - (18) 121 kg (19 stone)
1988 - (22) 128 kg (20 stone)

Lions

The lion is a magnificent animal that appears as a symbol of power, courage and nobility on
family crests, coats of arms and national flags in many civilizations. Lions at one time were
found from Greece through the Middle East to northern India, but today only a very small
population remains in India. In the past lions lived in most parts of Africa, but are now
confined to the sub-Saharan region.

Most cat species live a fundamentally solitary existence, but the lion is an exception. It has
developed a social system based on teamwork and a division of labor within the pride, and an
extended but closed family unit centered around a group of related females. The average pride
consists of about 15 individuals, including five to 10 females with their young and two or
three territorial males that are usually brothers or pride mates.

Physical Characteristics
Generally a tawny yellow, lions, like other species, tend to be lighter in color in hot, arid areas
and darker in areas of dense vegetation. Mature male lions are unique among the cat species
for the thick mane of brown or black hair that encircles the head and neck. The tails of lions
end in a horny spine covered with a tuft of hair.

Habitat
Lions are found in savannas, grasslands, dense bush and woodlands.

Behavior
Females do 85 to 90 percent of the pride's hunting, while the males patrol the territory and
protect the pride, for which they take the "lion's share" of the females' prey. When resting,
lions seem to enjoy good fellowship with lots of touching, head rubbing, licking and purring.
But when it comes to food, each lion looks out for itself. Squabbling and fighting are
common, with adult males usually eating first, followed by the females and then the cubs.

Lions are the laziest of the big cats. They usually spend 16 to 20 hours a day sleeping and
resting, devoting the remaining hours to hunting, courting or protecting their territory. They
keep in contact with one another by roaring loud enough to be heard up to five miles away.
The pride usually remains intact until the males are challenged and successfully driven away
or killed by other males, who then take over. Not all lions live in prides. At maturity, young
males leave the units of their birth and spend several years as nomads before they become
strong enough to take over a pride of their own. Some never stop wandering and continue to
follow migrating herds; but the nomadic life is much more difficult, with little time for resting
or reproducing.

Within the pride, the territorial males are the fathers of all the cubs. When a lioness is in heat,
a male will join her, staying with her constantly. The pair usually mates for less than a minute,
but it does so about every 15 to 30 minutes over a period of four to five days.

Lions may hunt at any hour, but they typically go after large prey at night. They hunt together
to increase their success rate, since prey can be difficult to catch and can outrun a single lion.
The lions fan out along a broad front or semicircle to creep up on prey. Once with within
striking distance, they bound in among the startled animals, knock one down and kill it with a
bite to the neck or throat. Hunts are successful about half the time.

Diet
Cooperative hunting enables lions to take prey as large as wildebeests, zebras, buffaloes,
young elephants, rhinos, hippos and giraffes, any of which can provide several meals for the
pride. Mice, lizards, tortoises, warthogs, antelopes and even crocodiles also form part of a
lion's diet. Because they often take over kills made by hyenas, cheetahs and leopards,
scavenged food provides more than 50 percent of their diets in areas like the Serengeti plains.

Caring for the Young

Litters consist of two or three cubs that weigh about 3 pounds each. Some mothers carefully
nurture the young; others may neglect or abandon them, especially when food is scarce.
Usually two or more females in a pride give birth about the same time, and the cubs are raised
together. A lioness will permit cubs other than her own to suckle, sometimes enabling a
neglected infant to survive. Capable hunters by 2 years of age, lions become fully grown
between 5 and 6 years and normally live about 13 years.

Predators
Lions have long been killed in rituals of bravery, as hunting trophies and for their medicinal
and magical powers. Although lions are now protected in many parts of Africa, they were
once considered to be stock-raiding vermin and were killed on sight. In some areas, livestock
predation remains a severe problem.

Did you know?

 Most lions drink water daily if available, but can go four or five days without it. Lions
in arid areas seem to obtain needed moisture from the stomach contents of their prey.
 When males take over a pride, they usually kill the cubs. The females come into estrus
and the new males sire other cubs.
