  • Thinking in Trends: the Rise of Trend Forecasting in the United States
    The current issue and full text archive of this journal is available on Emerald Insight at: www.emeraldinsight.com/1755-750X.htm Thinking in Thinking in trends: the rise of trends trend forecasting in the United States Devon Powers Department of Advertising, Temple University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Received 6 September 2016 Revised 28 December 2016 2 January 2017 Abstract Accepted 3 January 2017 Purpose – The paper examines the birth of trend forecasting in the USA and position trend forecasters and professional futurists within the wider history of marketing, market research and advertising. Design/methodology/approach – The study is based upon archival research, interviews and close readings of primary and secondary literature. Findings – Trend forecasters split from traditional market and opinion research in the early 1970s, as concerns about the future became paramount for businesses. At this time, entrepreneurial trend forecasters such as Faith Popcorn started firms, adopting futurological methods to make predictions about the future of culture. The field continued to grow into the 1990s as it developed or modified a host of mostly qualitative research methods, including environmental scanning, consumer ethnography and scenarios. Trend forecasting reveals the complexity of the relationship between business and “the future” and how trends aimed to predict as well as direct that future. Originality/value – The article is among the first academic treatments of trend forecasting, drawn from original interviews and exclusively accessed archival research. It contributes to a theory and a history of the concept of a trend, which is understood here as a way to package the movement of culture as sellable.

He got to the point that he felt he was ready to challenge an older lumberjack, who was also known for his ability, to a tree-cutting contest. So they began chopping. The younger man went at it with all his vigor. He chopped down one tree after an - other without stopping the whole day. He thought things looked pretty good for him because he noticed that the older lumberjack took about a fifteen-minute break every hour. But at the end of the day, the older lumberjack had chopped down one-third more trees than the younger man. Somewhat miffed and puzzled, the younger man went to the old master of forestry and asked, “How in Evans on Fasting.qxp:Evans on Fasting 10/12/09 2:05 PM Page 6 the world could you cut down more trees than me tak - ing fifteen-minute breaks every hour?” The wise older lumberjack looked at him and said, “Because when I stopped cutting, I took time to sharp - en my ax.” That’s a good parable of many Christians’ spiritual lives.

    SEPTEMBER 4-6 RIVERFRONT PARK & CITY ISLAND HARRISBURGPA.GOV/KIPONA | #KIPONAHBG WHAT IS KIPONA? This annual Labor-Day weekend celebration began in 1916 when the Harrisburg Dock Street Dam and the iconic river steps were completed. To celebrate this achievement and other improvements made since 1902 through the City Beautiful Movement, the City decided to rebrand what had been a water carnival on the river in prior years. After soliciting names through a city-wide competition, “Kipona” was chosen. An analysis of the name Kipona, which is said to mean in North American Indian terms “on sparkling water” is translated to “Na” meaning “to be on,” “Po” meaning “waters” and “Ki” meaning “sparkling or bright.

    cokescript.docx 8/1/2017 INT. MOVIE THEATER The theater is empty, except for the countless Regal cups left in cupholders. As the camera tracks inward, our attention is drawn to one Regal cup, with two straws poking out HARD CUT The cup remains in the same position as it was in the previous shot, but its surrounding evnironment has changed. A Regal employee is filling up the cup with Coke for an awkwardly lovable young man. Think Michael Cera. REGAL EMPLOYEE Will that be all for you today sir? YOUNG MAN Um, you guys wouldn’t happen to have any partially popped popcorn, maybe? The regal employee, with a bewildered look on his face,laughs and walks off screen, clearly puzzled by this unique order. Next to the young man we see a cute, young woman of similar age, also placing an order. Think Zoey Deschanel YOUNG WOMAN This might sound weird, but do you guys sell like half popped popcorn? The young man turns to the girl, clearly astounded by her identical order. The regal employee returns to the young man REGAL EMPLOYEE Took me a second but here’s your partially popped popcorn man. The young woman perks her head up towards the young man, also astounded by this chance encounter. They lock eyes. The young man takes a bite of his popocrn, holds up his Regal cup, and extends the popcorn bag her way. YOUNG MAN Well would you look at that! 1 of 2 cokescript.docx 8/1/2017 The two begin laughing. The boy holds up two straws, as we see the girl give a cute, quirky smile.

  • Producing the World's Best Popcorn at Hurricane Flats Farm
    Growing popcorn in New England If you can grow sweet corn, you can grow popcorn, so I’ll spend most of my time talking about harvesting, drying, shelling, cleaning and marketing popcorn. I grow two acres in a two row system. My spacing is a bit tighter then normal with two rows in a 48” bed, but my yields are the same that they are getting in the Midwest. I fertilize with either chicken manure or soy meal, I keep it very clean from weeds, and never side dress. I plant in early May, as the popcorn is a hardy seed and the plants can take a frost. I pick when you can press into the kernel with your tumb and not leave a mark, usually in early November. I use a one row corn picker that also husks it and drops it in a gravity wagon. The husking bed only husks, 85% of the ears, I think this is largely because the bed is designed for the larger diameter dent corn. The unhusked ears do not inhibit drying, but do add more trash that needs to be cleaned out of the corn. Now the real challenge starts, drying. Popcorn will pop at 15.5% moisture content, but will mold if put into long term storage. It will also not pop below 12.5%. My range is between 13 – 14.5% moisture content. Popcorn of different moisture levels will even out the moisture content if placed into the same storage container. If you apply too much heat (above 100 degrees) the kernels can crack and then will not pop, it is also hard on the kernels to shell them if they are too wet.

  • 33 Songs About Food
    33 GREAT SONGS ABOUT FOOD by Glen Creason “The fine arts are five in number, namely: painting, sculpture, poetry, music and architecture, the principal branch of the latter being pastry.” —Atonin Careme Songwriters spend eternities pondering the passions in their existence, coaxing blood and notes out their foreheads to wax poetic about love and pain and other precious items held in their hearts. Some even extend the search to the precious cargo that has caressed their palates and filled their bellies. What could be better than combining two of life’s greatest pleasures into one sweet bundle of endorphins? Of course, people have been combining sex and music, or food and sex, and most certainly food and music since the first time man thumped a hollow log in the forest primeval while munching on a brontosaurus burger. In the past 30 years I have tried to collect some songs about potent potables and comestibles; these are just a handful of my person - al favorites: • Bangers and Mash —Peter Sellers and Sophia Loren: The • Salt Peanuts —Dizzy Gillespie: One of the most recogniz - strangest of musical partners until Bing Crosby joined able riffs in all of jazz history.
