Kraft maintains focus on its "unrivaled portfolio of brands people love,"2 as more than 80% of its
revenues come from products that hold the number one share position in their respective categories.
Kraft‟s capital structure is 64.1% equity and 35.9% debt. Its operating margin is currently 13.69%
(EBIT/revenue). Kraft is a high yield dividend–paying company offering 3.70% dividend yield. Its
earnings per share ratio (EPS) is currently 2.09. COMPETITOR OVERVIEW Given Kraft‟s large
portfolio of brands (see Appendix E) and range of products, it faces competition from domestic and
international companies, smaller regional companies, and generic brands. Some of Kraft‟s key
competitors are Nestle, Pepsi–co, Coca–Cola, Danone, and Heinz. As Kraft moves forward with its
plan to capture market share in developing markets, it must be aware that several of its competitors
have similar growth strategies. For example, Coca–Cola has named Mumbai one of the cities most
important to its growth and Nestle touts its commitment to Middle East operations after opening a
$136 million manufacturing plant in Dubai (see Appendix F). GLOBAL GROWTH STRATEGY –

Criticism of Coca–Cola has arisen from various groups, concerning a variety of issues, including
health effects, environmental issues, and business practices. The Coca–Cola Company, its
subsidiaries and products have been subject to sustained criticism by both consumer groups and
watchdogs, particularly since the early 2000s. Allegations against the company are varied, including
* possible health effects of Coca–Cola products, * a poor environmental record, * perception of the
companies ' engagement in monopolistic business practices, * questionable labour practices
(including allegations of involvement with paramilitary organisations in suppression of trade
unions), * questionable marketing strategies, and * ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Mexican–made Coca–Cola may often be found for sale in stores catering to the Hispanic immigrant
community. Kosher for Passover Coke is also made with cane sugar, rather than corn syrup, due to
the special dietary restrictions for observant Jews. Some Orthodox Jews do not consume corn during
the holiday. Bottled with yellow caps, this variant can be found in some areas of the US around
April.[10] Risks arising from over–consumption[edit] In the February 2010 death of a 31–year–old
New Zealand woman, the coroner concluded "were it not for the consumption of very large
quantities of Coke by Natasha Harris, it is unlikely that she would have died when she died and how
she died"; Harris was found to have suffered from hypokalemia and "had an enlarged liver, and
deposits of fat within the liver, which pathologist Dr Dan Mornin attributed to the consumption of
'excessive amounts of sugar '." Christopher Hodgkinson, the long–term partner of Harris, "estimated
Natasha consumed four 2.25 litre bottles of Coke a day [and drank] no other beverage."[11] India
secret formula ban[edit] Coca–Cola was India 's leading soft drink until 1977 when it left India after
a new government ordered the company to turn over its secret formula for Coca–Cola and dilute its
stake in its Indian unit as required by the Foreign Exchange Regulation Act (FERA).[12] In 1993,

The effects of nutrition can begin before birth, with the nutrition of the mother. Under nutrition can
result in negative effects of the development of the brain that can become permanent and

iron deficiency is present nerve impulses tend to move slower. "Iron deficiency...is associated with
behavior changes and delayed psychomotor development" (Nutrition and Cognitive Development,

An increase in poverty contributes to the lack of nutritional care within low birth weight children.
The rise in poverty and how it has affected young ones:
The rise in poverty has led to the increase in nutritional needs for young ones.
Children who live in low–income housing tend to be under nutrition which results in lost of
knowledge, brain power and productivity. The children's ability to learn in school fails because of
diminished attention spans and memory due to the lack of nutrition.
Many school districts have tried to improve low–income children's learning by providing programs
such as the School Breakfast Program. The School Breakfast Program is a wonderful program that
allows children to receive the nutrition they need. It is shown that 'children who participate in school
breakfast have lower rates of absence and tardiness' (Nutrition for Learning, 2004). Children who
have eaten breakfast also tend to show a general increase in math and reading scores. Unable to
distinguish among similar images, increase in error and slower memory recall are all associated with
children who skip breakfast. Overall, 'the effects of breakfast program participation on school–
related outcomes, such as student achievement, cognition, attendance, and psychosocial measures'
(Designs for Measuring How the School Breakfast Program Affect..., 2000) have shown to be
positive outtakes from the School Breakfast Program. The only

Abstract
CNX Nifty being an important barometer to indicate country's growth has always been followed
with lots of interest from both academia and industry. Now, CNX Nifty could be predicted or not on
a random basis gives rise to many a questions. This sounds redolent with any predictive modeling
though with a certain degree of accuracy in built in to the system. The major point of consideration
is that predictive modeling could be done by various measures and mechanisms. In predictive
modeling Multiple Adaptive Regression (MARS), Classification and Regression Trees (CART),
Logistic OLS or Non Linear OLS could be used. Here in this study the researcher has utilized
Neural Network as a "Predictive Modeler" to predict CNX Nifty closing on certain random time
zones under consideration.

index set If d is a linear function, then d(un) becomes a linear function of β+n and therefore its
posterior distribution becomes multivariate normal given I. For the MCMC step β+n is marginalized
and the MCMC step only depends on the least square error and the prior for the selected index set.
For nonlinear case, this posterior normality of the coefficient given the index set does not hold and
that results in a prohibitive acceptance rejection based Metropolis–Hastings algorithm as each step

Sheng Siong's origins can be traced back to 1985, when founder and current Group CEO, Mr Lim
Eng Hock bought over troubled convenience store, SAVEWELL, using S$300k loaned from his
father. Between 1985 and 1999, expansion had been slow with just four stores. Then, between 2000
to 2005, the Group expanded at a more aggressive pace, adding 13 stores during the period. In 2009,
it announced plans to build its current headquarters cum warehouse and distribution centre at
Mandai Link as its old warehouse at Marsiling was unable to support a larger network of stores.

company pays income tax at a flat rate 28.5% from 1 July 2015 on its taxable income (only applied
for company that has turnover of $2 million or less)(Australian Taxation Office, 2015)
The company owns the assets of a company and it is liable for any debts incurred. This is why this
type of business structure appear to be a high–risk business ventures.
Generally, the assets of the owner will not accessed to wipe off any company's loan, debts or
liabilities. However, there are some exceptions applied. Financial institutions have the right to
require a personal guarantee against loans or overdrafts. A personal liability could be arisen if debts
are caused by recklessness, negligence or fraudulence (Australian Taxation Office, 2015).

The restaurant industry is highly competitive, and that competition could lower their revenues,
margins and market share. The business is subject to macroeconomic and other factors that may
negatively impact the results of operations. Restaurant development plans under development
agreements may not be implemented effectively. IHOP Corp. may have difficulty expanding in new
markets outside the United States. Risks factors can also be related to franchises and the acquisition
of Applebee's. Concentration of Applebee 's franchised restaurants in a limited number of
franchisees subjects IHOP to greater credit risk. Franchisees generally are not "limited purpose
entities", making them subject to business, credit, financial and other risks. IHOP Corp. business
strategy may not achieve the anticipated results for Applebee's. The significant costs that they incur
in connection with the acquisition may not be offset by cost–savings in the future. IHOP may fail to
realize the anticipated benefits of the acquisition as a result of risks associated with integrating the
business of Applebee 's with their existing business. IHOP may be unable to generate sufficient cash

have to be present, such as recognition, achievement, responsibility, and organization's

working conditions, benefits, technical quality supervision, challenging, and company policy
(Miller, 2006, p. 32–33). The two characteristics sets must be present for employees to be happy,
satisfied and deliver their best, their absence could interpret to workers who are unsatisfied, unhappy

In the past 43 years, after the ability to personally recognize who leaders were and the basic
cognation of what leaders should accomplish, personal concept of leaders shifted with an internal

cognation of leaders morphed into a personal hybrid formed by the initial framework, adding in

Introduction Would you ever admit to committing a crime that you didn't actually commit? Of

a crime they didn't commit. However, false confessions are one the leading causes of wrongful
convictions.1 As the Supreme Court of Canada noted in R v. Oickle, innocent people are induced to
make false confessions more frequently than those unacquainted with the phenomenon might
expect.2 In North America, we can trace the existence of false confessions back to the Salem Witch
Trials, where a number of women were persecuted for witchcraft on the basis of confessions that
were obtained through torture and threats.3 More recent false confessions have ... Show more

73. Quetiapine Research Papers
Astrocyte–dependent protective effect of quetiapine on GABAergic neuron is associated with the
prevention of anxiety–like behaviors in aging mice after long–term treatment Authors Abstract
Previous studies have demonstrated that quetiapine (QTP) may have neuroprotective properties;
however, the underlying mechanisms have not been fully elucidated. In this study, we identified a
novel mechanism by which QTP increased the synthesis of ATP in astrocytes and protected
GABAergic neurons from aging–induced death. In 12–month–old mice, QTP significantly improved
cell number of GABAegic neurons in the cortex and ameliorated anxiety–like behaviors compared
to control group. Complimentary in vitrostudies showed that QTP had no direct effect on the ...

2009). Although QTP is thought to interact with neurotransmitter receptors, the drug has also been
known to significantly affect other systems in central nerve system (CNS). Our previous studies
have shown that QTP may be a neuroprotectant (Bai et al. 2002; Wang et al. 2005). In a bilateral
common carotid artery occlusion (CCAO) mouse model, we found QTP to significantly attenuate
spatial memory impairment and neuronal cell loss in hippocampus (Yan et al. 2007a). Although the
critical neuroprotective and neurotrophic role of QTP treatment has been well established at the
experimental level, very little is known about the downstream mechanisms responsible for the
beneficial influences of the drug. A growing body of literature has shown that a deficit in the
GABAergic system is involved in a variety of psychological disorders, including schizophrenia,
anxiety, and depression (Lydiard 2003; Costa et al. 2004). The decrease of GABAergic signaling
was considered to be one of the most robust pathologies observed in schizophrenia (Lodge et al.
2009). In addition, glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD), which is an enzyme that catalyzes the
decarboxylation of glutamate to GABA in interneurons, was markedly reduced in schizophrenia
