Book How Color of Red Delicious Apples Affects Their Sales  Classic Reprint

Download or read book How Color of Red Delicious Apples Affects Their Sales Classic Reprint written by Hugh Madison Smith and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-05 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from How Color of Red Delicious Apples Affects Their Sales Since the fresh market is by far the maj or outlet for Red Delicious, existing price differentials are of major significance and concern to growers. Full coloring of the fruit is also a problem to growers of other major varieties of red apples. Existing pricing practices which place a premium on highly colored fruit may also encourage cultural practices that adversely affect the quality of fruit available to consumers. For example, growers in an effort to obtain better color in their apples and hence higher prices may leave fruit on the tree beyond its optimum maturity. Overmature apples become more susceptible to bruising and are likely to have a shorter shelf life than fruit harvested at proper maturity. Thus bet ter color is gained at the expense of other quality factors, and the over all condition of the fruit when it reaches the consumer may have a bad influence on purchases and demand.

Book A Comparison of the Keeping Quality of Jonathan and of Red Delicious Apples Stored in Field Boxes Or Prepackaged in Film Bags  Classic Reprint

Download or read book A Comparison of the Keeping Quality of Jonathan and of Red Delicious Apples Stored in Field Boxes Or Prepackaged in Film Bags Classic Reprint written by John Thomas Worthington and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-25 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Comparison of the Keeping Quality of Jonathan and of Red Delicious Apples Stored in Field Boxes or Prepackaged in Film Bags Jonathan apples did not scald during 3 months' storage at 32° or 40° F. Or during the 7-day holding period at 70° following storage. Some scald developed on the Red Delicious apples from two of the three orchards during 3 months' storage at This scald developed on both prepackaged and bulk lots even though fruit was initially treated with the scald-inhibitor ethoxyquin. Apples in these tests showed little difference in keeping quality during short storage whether they were prepackaged or bulk stored in field boxes. Good-quality Jonathan and Red Delicious apples can be stored prepackaged in film bags in master cartons for up to 2 months at 32° F. Without any repacking problem. Longer storage of fruit prepackaged at harvest would increase the risk of deterioration (decay, scald, internal breakdown) and the possible need for repacking some of the fruit. The main values of prepackaging apples before storage are reduction of injuries and costs from double handling and reduction of weight loss and shrivelling. Increasing quantities of apples are packaged in 3 4 5 8 and io-pound perforated film bags at production areas and in terminal markets. In 1966, about 60 percent of all apples sold on the fresh market were prepackaged, according to us. Department of Agriculture estimates. A common practice in production areas is to store either graded or orchard-run apples in field boxes or in pallet bins at harvest and prepackage them as orders are received. This practice gives a fresh pack but requires considerable handling. Bruising of apples generally is directly proportional to the amount of handling. If part of the cr0p could be_ prepackaged at harvest and storedsuccessfully in master containers until sold, quality for consumers might be at least as good as, if not better than, that of apples in fresh packs.

Book Stumbling on Happiness

Download or read book Stumbling on Happiness written by Daniel Gilbert and published by Vintage Canada. This book was released on 2009-02-24 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A smart and funny book by a prominent Harvard psychologist, which uses groundbreaking research and (often hilarious) anecdotes to show us why we’re so lousy at predicting what will make us happy – and what we can do about it. Most of us spend our lives steering ourselves toward the best of all possible futures, only to find that tomorrow rarely turns out as we had expected. Why? As Harvard psychologist Daniel Gilbert explains, when people try to imagine what the future will hold, they make some basic and consistent mistakes. Just as memory plays tricks on us when we try to look backward in time, so does imagination play tricks when we try to look forward. Using cutting-edge research, much of it original, Gilbert shakes, cajoles, persuades, tricks and jokes us into accepting the fact that happiness is not really what or where we thought it was. Among the unexpected questions he poses: Why are conjoined twins no less happy than the general population? When you go out to eat, is it better to order your favourite dish every time, or to try something new? If Ingrid Bergman hadn’t gotten on the plane at the end of Casablanca, would she and Bogey have been better off? Smart, witty, accessible and laugh-out-loud funny, Stumbling on Happiness brilliantly describes all that science has to tell us about the uniquely human ability to envision the future, and how likely we are to enjoy it when we get there.

Book How to Do Nothing

Download or read book How to Do Nothing written by Jenny Odell and published by Melville House. This book was released on 2020-12-29 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ** A New York Times Bestseller ** NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY: Time • The New Yorker • NPR • GQ • Elle • Vulture • Fortune • Boing Boing • The Irish Times • The New York Public Library • The Brooklyn Public Library "A complex, smart and ambitious book that at first reads like a self-help manual, then blossoms into a wide-ranging political manifesto."—Jonah Engel Bromwich, The New York Times Book Review One of President Barack Obama's "Favorite Books of 2019" Porchlight's Personal Development & Human Behavior Book of the Year In a world where addictive technology is designed to buy and sell our attention, and our value is determined by our 24/7 data productivity, it can seem impossible to escape. But in this inspiring field guide to dropping out of the attention economy, artist and critic Jenny Odell shows us how we can still win back our lives. Odell sees our attention as the most precious—and overdrawn—resource we have. And we must actively and continuously choose how we use it. We might not spend it on things that capitalism has deemed important … but once we can start paying a new kind of attention, she writes, we can undertake bolder forms of political action, reimagine humankind’s role in the environment, and arrive at more meaningful understandings of happiness and progress. Far from the simple anti-technology screed, or the back-to-nature meditation we read so often, How to do Nothing is an action plan for thinking outside of capitalist narratives of efficiency and techno-determinism. Provocative, timely, and utterly persuasive, this book will change how you see your place in our world.

  • Author : David Hackett Fischer
  • Publisher : Oxford University Press
  • Release : 1991-03-14
  • ISBN : 019974369X
  • Pages : 981 pages

Download or read book Albion s Seed written by David Hackett Fischer and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1991-03-14 with total page 981 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fascinating book is the first volume in a projected cultural history of the United States, from the earliest English settlements to our own time. It is a history of American folkways as they have changed through time, and it argues a thesis about the importance for the United States of having been British in its cultural origins. While most people in the United States today have no British ancestors, they have assimilated regional cultures which were created by British colonists, even while preserving ethnic identities at the same time. In this sense, nearly all Americans are "Albion's Seed," no matter what their ethnicity may be. The concluding section of this remarkable book explores the ways that regional cultures have continued to dominate national politics from 1789 to 1988, and still help to shape attitudes toward education, government, gender, and violence, on which differences between American regions are greater than between European nations.

Book Eat the Apple

Download or read book Eat the Apple written by Matt Young and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2018-02-27 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Iliad of the Iraq war" (Tim Weiner)--a gut-wrenching, beautiful memoir of the consequences of war on the psyche of a young man. Eat the Apple is a daring, twisted, and darkly hilarious story of American youth and masculinity in an age of continuous war. Matt Young joined the Marine Corps at age eighteen after a drunken night culminating in wrapping his car around a fire hydrant. The teenage wasteland he fled followed him to the training bases charged with making him a Marine. Matt survived the training and then not one, not two, but three deployments to Iraq, where the testosterone, danger, and stakes for him and his fellow grunts were dialed up a dozen decibels. With its kaleidoscopic array of literary forms, from interior dialogues to infographics to prose passages that read like poetry, Young's narrative powerfully mirrors the multifaceted nature of his experience. Visceral, ironic, self-lacerating, and ultimately redemptive, Young's story drops us unarmed into Marine Corps culture and lays bare the absurdism of 21st-century war, the manned-up vulnerability of those on the front lines, and the true, if often misguided, motivations that drove a young man to a life at war. Searing in its honesty, tender in its vulnerability, and brilliantly written, Eat the Apple is a modern war classic in the making and a powerful coming-of-age story that maps the insane geography of our times.
