Methods of flavor evaluation
This document discusses methods for analyzing food flavor. It begins by defining flavor as the sensation produced when food is taken into the mouth, perceived mainly by taste and smell. Flavor is one of the key factors in food selection. The document then outlines several chemical and instrumental methods for flavor analysis, including solid phase extraction, solid phase microextraction, gas chromatography (GC), GC-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and GC-olfactometry (GC-O). It also discusses several sensory testing techniques used to evaluate flavor, such as preference tests (e.g. hedonic scales), discrimination tests (e.g. triangle tests), and ranking tests. The document provides examples of how these various tests are conducted.
Sensory Analysis Of Foods
This document summarizes different types of sensory analysis tests used to test new food products before market introduction. The five main types are difference tests, triangle tests, ranking tests, rating tests, and descriptive profiling. Each test is used to evaluate different attributes and provides manufacturers information on how consumers perceive products in terms of taste, flavor, and other qualities. Professional tasters use detailed descriptive profiling to evaluate products across many attributes, while amateur tasters are typically used for the other tests that compare or rank products. Proper testing procedures and sanitation are important to get accurate and unbiased results.
Sensory evaluation of food products
This document provides information on different types of sensory testing methods used to evaluate food products, including difference tests, rating tests, sensitivity tests, and descriptive tests. It describes various tests under each type, such as paired comparison tests, ranking tests, threshold tests, and numerical scoring tests. The tests involve presenting food samples to panels of judges and having them evaluate and rate the samples based on characteristics like taste, odor, and texture. The results are used to analyze differences between products and determine consumer preferences.
An Artist-Inventor Sees the Future
This document outlines the career of an artist-inventor who applies "what if" thinking to envision novel concepts and products. It describes his path from cartoonist to futurist and includes summaries of his various conceptual designs over his career from 1938 to 2014. These concepts range from new transportation solutions, building designs, clothing, technology uses, and more. His approach involves techniques like lateral thinking, permutation, and morphing to imagine modifications and variations of existing objects and systems. He also made several predictions in the 1980s-90s that ended up coming true later due to technological and societal trends.
Religious Futurists Network Meeting: Orlando 2014
This document summarizes a meeting of the World Network of Religious Futurists that took place on July 13, 2014 in Orlando, Florida and was hosted by Jay Gary, PhD. The meeting was an opportunity for futurists working in religious contexts to meet each other and share ideas on best practices for applying foresight within spiritual movements. Attendees participated in exercises to reflect on their work as religious futurists and discussed provocations that may shape the future of religion in the coming decade. The World Network of Religious Futurists has been convening such meetings since 1980 to advance the knowledge and practice of futures studies in religion and religious studies in futures.
What If the Future Needs Us?
Presented by Jerome Glenn
“The future doesn’t need us,” Bill Joy said in his famous 2001 WIRED article. He warned us of the threats posed by advanced technologies, and suggested we should slow down their advancement. Many today agree with Joy. The evolution of our knowledge about nature and the evolution of nature itself have come to a historic crossroads, others claim. It took billions of years for nature to produce our universe, a planet called Earth and a living species able to ask questions and create answers. It took humans just decades to develop a technology to bring our collective knowledge back to life deep within the brains of super computers and show it on the screens of Ipads and smart phones. With digital technology, an astonishing transformation is taking place right in front of our eyes. Since the Big Bang, nature has been the sole creator of the future. Until humans came along and unraveled nature’s tricks, enough so to take away its monopoly, and bring us to the most important crossroads in the history of our universe.
The Global Situation and Prospects
Presented by Jerome Glenn
How do we handle the world’s major challenges? This session will provide a framework to better understand global change and what is strategic for the future of civilization. Worldwide synergies and cross-impacts will be cited among sustainable development, climate change, water, demographics, democratization, ICT, development gaps, health and disease, global foresight and decision making, conflict and security, gender relations, organized crime, energy, S&T, global ethics, and education.
Terra Nova: The Religious Quest for Tomorrow
Presented by Jay Gary, Lane Jennings, Kate McCallum, and Alex McManus
Whether it is Teihard de Chardin's "omega point," Barbara Marx Hubbard's "conscious evolution," Ken Wilber's "integral theory," Ziauddin Sardar's "Islamic science" or Pope Francis' exhortation to simplicity, the religious imagination continues to reframe our quest toward transformation and tomorrow. This panel will share how the spiritual quest for "terra nova" is expressed in their own futures work ranging from transmedia in Hollywood entertainment, to a "Voxtropolis" mashup in Motown with rap and social entrepreneurs, to a journal that ponders how the spirituality of science fiction is creating a post-terrestrial age.

Pathways to Foresight Careers
How has your futurist work intersected with your career? What are the present state and future prospects of building a career in foresight? What competencies will tomorrow’s futurists demonstrate, whether as trend analysts, project managers, facilitators, or consultants?
Revolutions, Tea Parties, & Complexipacity
Presented by David Pearce Snyder
Most futurists today believe that the middle class job loss and widening income gap arising from our current techno-economic restructuring will ultimately be followed by a “rising tide” of prosperity based on new products, services and jobs. For those without a hopeful long term vision, however, our degraded economic performance has provoked political mobilization promoting simplistic solutions for our many complex problems. Futurists can/should actively inject an understanding of our complex circumstances into the public dialogue.

From Hope to Despair: The Top 10 Reasons Businesses Ditch SEO Tactics
Are you tired of seeing your business's online visibility plummet from hope to despair? When it comes to SEO tactics, many businesses find themselves grappling with challenges that lead them to abandon their strategies altogether. In a digital landscape that's constantly evolving, staying on top of SEO best practices is crucial to maintaining a competitive edge.
In this blog, we delve deep into the top 10 reasons why businesses ditch SEO tactics, uncovering the pain points that may resonate with you:
1. Algorithm Changes: The ever-changing algorithms can leave businesses feeling like they're chasing a moving target. Search engines like Google frequently update their algorithms to improve user experience and provide more relevant search results. However, these updates can significantly impact your website's visibility and ranking if you're not prepared.
2. Lack of Results: Investing time and resources without seeing tangible results can be disheartening. The absence of immediate results often leads businesses to lose faith in their SEO strategies. It's important to remember that SEO is a long-term game that requires patience and consistent effort.
3. Technical Challenges: From site speed issues to complex metadata implementation, technical hurdles can be daunting. Overcoming these challenges is crucial for SEO success, as technical issues can hinder your website's performance and user experience.
4. Keyword Competition: Fierce competition for top keywords can make it hard to rank effectively. Businesses often struggle to find the right balance between targeting high-traffic keywords and finding less competitive, niche keywords that can still drive significant traffic.
5. Lack of Understanding of SEO Basics: Many businesses dive into the complex world of SEO without fully grasping the fundamental principles. This lack of understanding can lead to several issues:
Keyword Awareness: Failing to recognize the importance of keyword research and targeting the right keywords in content.
On-Page Optimization: Ignorance regarding crucial on-page elements such as meta tags, headers, and content structure.
Technical SEO Best Practices: Overlooking essential aspects like site speed, mobile responsiveness, and crawlability.
Backlinks: Not understanding the value of high-quality backlinks from reputable sources.
Analytics: Failing to track and analyze data prevents businesses from optimizing their SEO efforts effectively.
6. Unrealistic Expectations and Timeframe: Entrepreneurs often fall prey to the allure of quick fixes and overnight success. Unrealistic expectations can overshadow the reality of the time and effort needed to see tangible results in the highly competitive digital landscape. SEO is a long-term strategy, and setting realistic goals is crucial for success.
