Excerpt:Beverage Partners Worldwide (BPW) is the name of the joint venture partnership between The Coca-Cola Company and Nestlé , created in 2001 as the successor to Coca-Cola and Nestle Refreshments (CCNR) founded in 1991. Coca-Cola and Nestlé hold equal parts in the joint venture. In late 2006, the two companies announced that their joint venture is focussed on producing and selling drinks based on black tea and green tea like Nestea and Enviga . The iced tea brand, Nestea , while owned by Nestle, is controlled in most global markets by BPW. BPW operates in more than 40 countries, marketing Nestea as well as other ready-to-drink chilled teas. Nestea currently trails well behind competitors, notably Lipton and Snapple , in most developed markets. In 2007 BPW lost the right to managed RTD flavoured milks and chilled coffees, including several Nescafe spin-offs. Coca-Cola subsequently agreed a separate joint venture with Illy Coffee to market RTD coffees.

Aus Wikipedia. Nicht dargestellt. Auszug: Günter Blobel (born May 21, 1936) is a German American biologist. Blobel was born in Waltersdorf in the Prussian Province of Lower Silesia. In January 1945 his family fled from native Silesia from the advancing Red Army. On their way to the West they passed through the beautiful old city of Dresden, which left deep impressions in the young boy. Only days after their stay Dresden was destroyed in the catastrophic air bombing between 13 February and 15 February 1945. The family could witness this event some 30 kilometers away and the young boy again was deeply impressed by the red night sky reflecting the firestorm in the burning city. But war was still not at its end and Blobel's 19-year-old sister was some weeks later killed in an air attack on a train she was travelling in and buried in a mass grave. After the war Günter Blobel grew up and attended gymnasium in the Saxon town of Freiberg. He graduated at the University of Tübingen in 1960 and received his Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1967. He was appointed to the Howard Hughes Medical Institute in 1986. Blobel was awarded the 1999 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for the discovery of signal peptides. Signal peptides form an integral part of protein targeting, a mechanism for cells to direct newly synthesized protein molecules to their proper location by means of an "address tag" (i.e. a signal peptide) within the molecule. Blobel is also well-known for his direct and active support for the rebuilding of Dresden in Germany, becoming, in 1994, the founder and president of the nonprofit "Friends of Dresden, Inc." He donated all of the Nobel award money to the restoration of Dresden, in particular for the rebuilding of the Frauenkirche (completed in 2005) and the building of a new synagogue. As of 2003, Blobel works at the Rockefeller University in New York City. Blobel lives in Manhattan's Upper East Side with h...http://booksllc.net/?l=de ... Read more

Product Description
Chapters: People From Żagań, Adolf Engler, Günter Blobel, Łukasz Garguła, Constantine, Prince of Hohenzollern-Hechingen, Jane Bernigau, Mariusz Jurasik. Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 27. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Heinrich Gustav Adolf Engler (March 25, 1844 October 10, 1930) was a German botanist. He is notable for his work on plant taxonomy and phytogeography, like Die Natürlichen Pflanzenfamilien (The natural plant families), edited with Karl A. E. von Prantl. Even now, his system of plant classification, the Engler System, is still used by many herbaria and is followed by writers of many manuals and floras. It is still the only system that treats all 'plants' (in the wider sense, algae to flowering plants) in such depth . Engler published a prodigious number of taxonomic works. He used various artists to illustrate his books, notably Joseph Pohl (1864-1939), an illustrator who had served an apprenticeship as a wood-engraver. Pohl's skill drew Engler's attention, starting a collaboration of some forty years. Pohl produced more than 33 000 drawings in 6 000 plates for Die naturlichen pflanzenfamilien. He also illustrated Das pflanzenreich (1900-1953), Die pflanzenwelt Afrikas (1908-1910), Monographien afrikanischer pflanzenfamilien (1898-1904) and the journals Engler's Botanische jahrbucher. He received the Linnean Medal in 1913. The International Association for Plant Taxonomy (IAPT) established the Engler Medal in his honour in 1986, to be awarded for outstanding contributions to plant taxonomy (see the list of Engler Medal awards). The journal Englera (ISSN 0170-4818) published by the Berlin-Dahlem Botanical Garden, Germany is also named after him. Many genera (in various 'plant' groups) are named in his honour, such as Englerastrum, Englerella, Engleria, Englerina, ...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=3348743 ... Read more

Juni 1943 in New York) war ein österreichischer Pathologe und Serologe, der 1901 das AB0-System der Blutgruppen entdeckte, wofür er 1930 den Nobelpreis für Medizin erhielt. 1921 führten ihn weitere Arbeiten zur Prägung des Begriffs Hapten; 1940 entdeckte er außerdem mit Alexander Solomon Wiener den Rhesusfaktor. Landsteiners Vater Leopold (1817 Wien - 22. Februar 1875 ebenda), ein bekannter Journalist und erster Chefredakteur der Zeitung Die Presse, starb mit 56 Jahren, als Karl sechs Jahre alt war. Dadurch hatte er eine sehr enge Beziehung zu seiner Mutter Fanny, geb. Heß, und ihre Totenmaske hing bis zu seinem Tod in seinem Schlafzimmer. Landsteiner studierte nach seiner am heutigen Gymnasium Wasagasse in Wien mit Vorzug bestandenen Matura ab 1885 an der Universität Wien Medizin und promovierte dort 1891. Während seines Studiums veröffentlichte er eine Arbeit über den Einfluss von Diäten auf die Zusammensetzung des Blutes. Nach seinem Studium verbrachte Landsteiner fünf Jahre im Ausland in Laboratorien in Zürich bei Arthur Hantzsch, in Würzburg beim berühmten deutschen Chemiker Emil Fischer und in München bei Eugen Bamberger. 1896 kehrte er nach Wien zurück und wurde Assistent am von Max von Gruber geleiteten Hygienischen Institut. Dort führte er Studien über den Mechanismus der Immunität und das Wesen von A...http://booksllc.net/?l=de&id=17048 ... Read more
