The Supermarket The other day I walked into the supermarket to buy a box of Kleenex. I was faced with a variety of colors, textures, box designs, and even the option of aloe. All these features designed for a product to blow my nose into! Selection wasn't limited to the Kleenex section, either…I found abundance in every aisle. We seem to always want more - more choices, more variety, more time. In fact, even the word "supermarket" implies a desire for more than just a simple market. No longer just a place to buy food, the supermarket has become a place to cash a check, buy a birthday card, or pick up some tulip bulbs. These new extras are all centered on the idea of convenience. We all hope to find a few extra moments in our days, so supermarkets offer us a way to save time. I'll be the first to admit that buying three things at the same store is nicer than driving across town. Saving time can definitely be a good thing. Variety is another "more" I found on my trip to the supermarket. In the refrigerator case alone I found over thirty kinds of cheese. ...

  • The Importance Of Fingerprinting

    724 Words  | 2 Pages

    Fingerprinting is an important factor in forensics. By using the technology and expertly trained forensic scientists at our disposal, the fingerprints found at a crime scene can be the most important piece of evidence for solving a crime (4). Fingerprints fully develop in humans while still in the womb. The three most common patterns are loops. They are found in 65% of the population, the next most common is whorls which are found in 35% of the population. Lastly are arches these are found in only 5% of the world (2). Fingerprints could be visible; this means you can see marks left on a surface by oily fingers (2). Other fingerprints are latent which means you can 't see them, but there are marks left by sweat, amino acids, and other organic residue (2). The earliest known fingerprints patterns were used by the Chinese in the 700s for identification and identity of documents on clay tablets (4). Sir Francis Galton’s published book, ‘Fingerprints ' in 1892 showed everyone the individuality and permanence of fingerprints (7). Galton 's first interest in fingerprints was supposed to help in

  • Understanding the Science and Evolution of Fingerprints

    520 Words  | 2 Pages

    Fingerprints are among the most common forensic identifiers, but they are not infallible due to their susceptibility to degradation. Fingerprints are assigned to each of us upon development and remain the same throughout our lifetime. The distinctive patterns we recognize as fingerprints can be attributed to ridges and the oils contained on the surface of our fingers. From an evolutionary standpoint fingerprints allow humans to grasp objects, by increasing friction on our finger pads. Fingerprints are dusted by using a brush coated with fingerprinting powder and sweeping the brush over the fingerprint, where the powder sticks to the oils deposited from a fingerprint (Scientific American, 2002). The method in which fingerprints are identified

    A fingerprint is the pattern of ridges and related characteristics found on the finger pads, the fleshy parts of the fingers used for gripping and touching. A person's fingerprints are formed when they are a tiny developing baby in their mother's womb during weeks 10-24. Pressure on the fingers from the baby touching is called "friction ridges", the faint lines you see on your fingers and toes.

    Fingerprints are based on the person's skin pattern and ridges which are also known as dermatoglyphs. Those ridges are found on feet, palms, and especially the top half of fingers. These dermatoglyphs develop well before birth and stay the exact same throughout people's lives. Dermatoglyphs are fully developed for the baby's body in the sixth month of pregnancy. These dermatoglyphs are not fully based off DNA, part of it is the condition of the womb for the baby in pregnancy. There are

    1940). Fingerprints are formed and developed inside of the womb due to certain types of pressures that are put on a baby’s hand when forming (O'Neill, M. 1940). Fingerprints are very unique and no two people have the same or alike fingerprints not even identical twins (Polson, C.1951). There are three main types of fingerprints (Polson, C. 1951). Theses fingerprints are called loops, arches, and whorls. Fingerprints can be found on any type of solid surface. Most finger prints that are found at a crime scene are latent prints there are other types of finger prints that can also be found at a crime scene to. Latent prints are not noticeable to the bare eye. In order to clearly see latent fingerprints you have to use things like magnetic fingerprint powder or alternate light sources.

    Fingerprints are the very basis for criminal identification and conviction in every police agency on earth. Fingerprint evidence represents one of the most important pieces of evidence found at the scene of a crime, and can be used to determine the steps that the suspect took while committing the crime, but also has the ability to rule out suspects, or to eventually lead to the offender. The idea that no two individuals can have identical fingerprints is accepted by the courts and can lead to a fingerprint being the single piece of evidence in a crime that will lead to a conviction. Although, in recent years, the reliability and validity of using finger printing as evidence has been questioned by a variety scientists and also the media.

    Every company wants to understand why people decide to buy its products or others. Firstly, we have to understand why people buy certain kind of product. People buy products because they need them. A need is activated and felt when there is a sufficient discrepancy between a desired or preferred state of being and the actual state. (Engle£¬Blackwell and Miniard. 1995. p407 ) For example, when you feel hungry, what you needs is some food. It is very important for marketer to understand the needs of consumers. All the consumers may have the same needs, but the ways which they satisfy what they need are different. Here is a example, Chinese people would choose rice when they feel hungry, whilst British people may choose bread to satisfy their needs.
