    Brominated vegetable oil BVO is vegetable oil that has had atoms of the Chemical element element bromine bonded to it. Brominated vegetable oil is used as an emulsifier in citrus flavored soft drinks to help natural fat soluble citrus flavors stay suspended in the drink and to produce a cloudy appearance.

It was created in 1991 by Clyde Majerus, an industrial engineering industrial engineer and avid gardener from Grovespring, Missouri . By 2009, over 100,000 charts had been printed and distributed throughout the US and Canada. History The slide chart was first conceived in the early 1990s, when Majerus lived in Centralia, Missouri Centralia, MO . He was attempting to plan the sequence of events in his 50 x120 garden around the upcoming birth of his third child, who was due in June 1991 Majerus wanted to plant beans in his garden so he would be available to help his wife in the delivery without having to worry about his garden going to waste. During that time, he happened to be studying time phasing as a part of his engineering day job many manufacturing companies use a time phased plan known as MRP material requirements planning for raw materials and parts requirements, in order to ensure on time delivery of the final product. MRP involves using a horizontal calendar and planning backward from the customer s expected delivery date. Beginning with a horizontally oriented calendar, Majerus scribed a line for the average frost date and a second line for the expected baby s birth. Next, the various garden vegetables were listed, first to last, in order as they are planted relative to the frost date. Counting weeks from the frost to first planting date, Majerus realized that if the frost line could be made to slide, the chart would be useful as a tool for gardeners throughout the country. Development Majerus obtained a copyright for the chart, had a batch of charts printed, and went into business. However, the chart was not initially well received, and the project sat idle for almost nine years until a friend suggested offering ...   more details

  1. The Effects of Cross and Self Fertilisation in the Vegetable Kingdom

    The Effects of Cross and Self Fertilisation in the Vegetable Kingdom is a book on evolution in plants by Charles Darwin , first published in 1876. In this book Darwin examines the effects of heterosis cross and self pollination self fertilisation of plants and provides experimental evidence for a hypothesis stated in his famed book of 1859, Origin of Species , that ... in none i.e. plant ... can self fertilisation go on for perpetuity Origin , p. 101 . He reports on experiments conducted on over 60 different species of plants, where he used controlled pollinations in order to produce self fertilised and cross fertilised descendants. Through growth experiments of this progeny, he concluded that self fertilised progeny performed poorer in most species and for most traits measured. Thus he showed that inbreeding may have severe detrimental effects on progeny. While this idea was accepted by many, e.g. plant and animal breeders, Darwin s book provided overwhelming experimental support for this idea. This book has remained the starting point for the study of inbreeding and is cited in scientific papers to this effect to this day.
