Sonder Chocolate Charlie

Год издания: 0000
Nell woon op die plaas Solitaire in die Sederberg saam met haar hele uitgebreide familie van perdemense wat ’n topperdestoet bedryf. Sy het ’n paar maande vantevore ’n aaklige ongeluk met haar perd, Chocolate Charlie, gehad en die moes uitgesit word. Sy kan weens ’n harde val niks daarvan onthou nie, maar kry nagmerries en ervaar nou ’n vrees vir perde. Vir die Aprilskoolvakansie kom haar niggie Colette en twee vriendinne, Charni en Ateeya, plaas toe saam met hulle perde om te oefen vir ’n groot kompetisie. Colette se jonger broer, Hein, en Andrew, die seun van Solitaire se veearts, voltooi die jong groep. Nell se oupa het pas ’n palomino-ponie op ’n veiling gekoop, en die sorg vir ’n hele intrige. Ten slotte is die groep jong mense deel van ’n verfilming wat plaasvind in die aanliggende natuurreservaat; dis vir ’n TV-program oor navorsing oor Kaapse luiperds. Daar is ’n dramatiese luiperdaanval, en Nell kan uiteindelik die legkaartstukke pas van wat met Charlie se dood gebeur het.

Chocolates on the Pillow Aren't Enough. Reinventing The Customer Experience
Автор: Karl Weber
Год издания:
Praise for Chocolates on the Pillow Aren't Enough «Jonathan recognizes that in today's Internet-fed, savvy-consumer world, it is the people-to-people connections, regardless of price point, that differentiate a customer's experience. Gimmicks come and go, but without sincere and caring people delivering the overall experience, from start to finish, well, it's true–chocolates on the pillow are not enough. A great read!» —David Neeleman, founder and CEO, JetBlue Airways Corporation «If you don't work for your customer, you're not doing your job. Who better to turn to for lessons in great customer experiences than Jonathan Tisch? He has long been one of the most respected leaders in travel and hospitality, and when it comes to treating all customers like guests, to put it simply, he gets it. And then some.» —Millard S. Drexler, Chairman and CEO, J. Crew Group «What brings customers back to my restaurants? Why do viewers watch my TV show? It's more than Bam! It's delivering a kicked-up customer experience. Tisch is the guy who knows how to do this best. His book gives the inside scoop on how to excite your customers and bring 'em back for more.» —Emeril Lagasse «Attention to detail, passion, and dedication are a few of the things that made me successful as an athlete. Jonathan knows that by doing the same in business, you maximize the customer's experience and outscore the competition.» —Tiki Barber
Inside the Gas Chambers. Eight Months in the Sonderkommando of Auschwitz
Автор: Shlomo Venezia
Год издания:
This is a unique, eye-witness account of everyday life right at the heart of the Nazi extermination machine. Slomo Venezia was born into a poor Jewish-Italian community living in Thessaloniki, Greece. At first, the occupying Italians protected his family; but when the Germans invaded, the Venezias were deported to Auschwitz. His mother and sisters disappeared on arrival, and he learned, at first with disbelief, that they had almost certainly been gassed. Given the chance to earn a little extra bread, he agreed to become a ‘Sonderkommando', without realising what this entailed. He soon found himself a member of the ‘special unit' responsible for removing the corpses from the gas chambers and burning their bodies. Dispassionately, he details the grim round of daily tasks, evokes the terror inspired by the man in charge of the crematoria, ‘Angel of Death' Otto Moll, and recounts the attempts made by some of the prisoners to escape, including the revolt of October 1944. It is usual to imagine that none of those who went into the gas chambers at Auschwitz ever emerged to tell their tale – but, as a member of a ‘Sonderkommando', Shlomo Venezia was given this horrific privilege. He knew that, having witnessed the unspeakable, he in turn would probably be eliminated by the SS in case he ever told his tale. He survived: this is his story. Published in association with the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.
Chocolate Science and Technology
Автор: Emmanuel Afoakwa Ohene
Год издания:
This book provides an overview of the science and technology of chocolate manufacture from cocoa production, through the manufacturing processes, to the sensory, nutrition and health aspects of chocolate consumption. It covers cocoa cultivation and production with special attention paid to cocoa bean composition, genotypic variations in the bean, post-harvest pre-treatments, fermentation and drying processes, and the biochemical basis of these operations. The scientific principles behind industrial chocolate manufacture are outlined with detailed explanations of the various stages of chocolate manufacturing including mixing, refining, conching and tempering. Other topics covered include the chemistry of flavour formation and development during cocoa processing and chocolate manufacture; volatile flavour compounds and their characteristics and identification; sensory descriptions and character; and flavour release and perception in chocolate. The nutritional and health benefits of cocoa and chocolate consumption are also addressed. There is a focus throughout on those factors that influence the flavour and quality characteristics of the finished chocolate and that provide scope for process optimization and improvement. The book is designed to be a desk reference for all those engaged in the business of making and using chocolate worldwide; confectionery and chocolate scientists in industry and academia; students and practising food scientists and technologists; nutritionists and other health professionals; and libraries of institutions where food science is studied and researched. an overview of the science behind chocolate manufacture covers the whole process from cocoa production, through manufacturing, to the nutrition and health aspects of chocolate consumption focuses on factors that influence chocolate flavour and quality, and that provide scope for process optimization and improvement.
