Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) refers to advice and guidance put in place to outline the aspects of production and testing that can impact the quality and safety of a product. In the case of food and drink, GMP is aimed at ensuring that products are safe for the consumer and are consistently manufactured to a quality appropriate to their intended use. Manufacturers have for several years been driving towards such goals as Total Quality Management (TQM), lean manufacturing and sustainability GMP is bound up with these issues. The ever-increasing interest amongst consumers, retailers and enforcement authorities in the conditions and practices in food manufacture and distribution, increases the need for the food manufacturer to operate within clearly defined policies such as those laid down in GMP. The ability to demonstrate that Good Manufacturing Practice has been fully and effectively implemented could, in the event of a consumer complaint or a legal action, reduce the manufacturer s liability and protect them from prosecution. First launched in 1986, IFST s Good Manufacturing Practice Guide has been widely recognized as an indispensable reference work for food scientists and technologists. It sets out to ensure that food manufacturing processes deliver products that are uniform in quality, free from defects and contamination, and as safe as it is humanly possible to make them. This 6th edition has been completely revised and updated to include all the latest standards and guidance, especially with regard to legislation-driven areas such as HACCP. The Guide is a must have for anyone in a managerial or technical capacity concerned with the manufacture, storage and distribution of food and drink. It is also a valuable reference for food education, training and for those involved in food safety and enforcement. Food scientists in academic and industry environments will value its precision, and policy makers and regulatory organizations will find it an indispensable guide to an important and multifaceted area. About IFST IFST is the leading independent qualifying body for food professionals in Europe and the only professional body in the UK concerned with all aspects of food science and technology. IFST members are drawn from all over the world and from all ages and backgrounds, including industry (manufacturing, retailing and food service), universities and schools, government, research and development, quality assurance and food law enforcement.

Images of African Americans in our culture abound--on television, in films, on the radio, and in newsprint. Whether in works by African Americans--most notably popular music, film, and to a growing degree, television programs--or works about African Americans from documentaries to news coverage--strong images pervade our public consciousness. Mediated Messages and African American Culture is the first book to examine these images and messages as a whole. Bringing together works by leading scholars, this collection examines such vital topics as the relationship between black men and the police, the state of the African American press, and the perpetuation of images of African Americans as poor, violent, and undereducated. Timely case studies and the combination of theory and practice make this text both up-to-date and thorough in its analysis of the image and portrayal of African Americans in the media. Mediated Messages and African American Culture will be of great interest to students who study popular culture, black popular culture, African American history, and the media. The book's critical discussion about the treatment of African Americans in the media is unique in its coverage and depth.

Ribonucleic acids are central to cellular and molecular processes and perform vital functions in both structural and functional roles. RNA molecules form the bridge between the stable genetic information contained within DNA and enzymes and proteins that carry out much of the metabolism within the cell. Many of the sites of protein synthesis, the ribosomes within the cell, are composed of these ribonucleic acids as are the tRNA molecules that deliver the amino acid building blocks to the ribosomes. Of all the RNA species, the nucleic acid intermediate, messenger RNA, is a desirable source of material to biologists, since this reflects much of, what ultimately, is translated into enzymes and proteins. In order to determine the qualitative and quantitative changes in mRNA expression, a vast number of molecular biological techniques have been developed. Key molecular methods that provide the means to initially isolate and analyze RNA molecules are the focus of this volume. In putting together this collection of protocols, we have tried to provide techniques that are most applicable and widely used. In particular, there are a number of iso- tion techniques included that have been developed, modified, or adapted to enable extraction from a variety of cell types, organisms, or subcellular organelles. Successful isolation of intact RNA is an essential starting point for any sub- quent analysis. This is why we have aimed to make this section comprehensive. The analysis of RNA is the focus of the following chapters.

Studies conducted by Gallup, Watson Wyatt, Towers Watson and others reveal that companies around the world lose millions of dollars each year simply as the result of poor communication--$64.2 million on average. The poor communication occurs when employees misunderstand company policies, business processes, job function or a combination of all three. Communication, good or bad, occurs daily with every interaction from the conference room to the front line. Even though most people assume that because they know the English language, they can communicate, they are often blind to their own weaknesses to clearly convey their messages. The ability to communicate effectively is one of those evergreen job skills that is a must for success in the business world and life in general. Communicate Increase employee engagement through effective communication, is a field guide for all employees who want to improve this most basic and essential job skill. Each concise chapter gives practical, real-world suggestions for how to be more effective in the multitude of situations where communication occurs. Communicate shows how all employees can improve face-to-face, writing, presentations, listening and other important communication skills. Every employee in any business can benefit from a reading and application of the lessons learned in Communicate

The scripts in this collection have been used over the years to impact people's lives. The scripts cover a wide range of topics such as personal relationships, marriage, money, greed, honesty and servanthood. They can be used in various church settings. The scripts are intended to prepare an audience for message or a discussion on the topic of the day. Issues are raised, struggles are displayed and conflicts are examined as the characters interact in both humorous and serious settings.

Drama is a powerful tool to communicate human struggles in all phases of life. Before an audience can relate to what they see portrayed on stage a writer must first examine a theme and explore the conflicts that people face in their daily lives. Writing Drama that Touches the Heart covers the essential components of a script and guides the writer from the blank page to a finished script.

A family of four goes Mars for vacation. At Mars there are new domes with hotels, an amusement park and other fun activities that are used by vacationers at Mars. The story starts with the family landing on the moon to transfer to a Space Jet that will take them to Mars. At Mars they find that there is less gravity then Earths, but more than that is on the moon. On Mars they stay in the low budget hotel at The New Mars facilities in Tent A. Tent A is a small tented city with a park in it and more. There are three Tents in The New Mars complexes. One has a sports complex with racing and other activates, it is amazing how the change of gravity affects the sports on Mars. The other Tent has the retirement community with a big mall and hospital. The kids want to play at the park all day but they find that there are other fun things to do on Mars. Next to their hotel there is a Skating Rink with a half pipe, they see a show there and the next day they go to skate. They find other things in Tent A like a bar that has an opened mike night every Thursday night. They find fun things to do in the other Tents also. The family has fun in each Tent, but on Friday they spend the day at Mars Dome which has grown into three domes. They take a tour of The Mars Domes and they spend time in the greenhouse of the Hotel Dome and meet a couple that want to invest in Mars. On Saturday they spend all day in Tent B and have fun playing and watching shows the big thing is Pod Racing.
