salada became one of the leading teas in canada and northeastern united states , which prompted larkin to establish a u . s . headquarters in boston , massachusetts in 1917 . in the 1930’s salada followed the trend of packing its teas into tea bags , a convenience format allowing users an easier way to enjoy their tea .
salada is well known for its great tasting beverages that are part of a healthy lifestyle . green , white , and black teas continue to set the bar for innovative flavors that strengthen salada’s integrity as a reliable tea company with 100 + years of experience .
in 1927 , these elaborate doors were installed at the salada tea headquarters in boston’s back bay neighborhood . the toronto company was founded in 1892 , by larkin , who sold the first tea packaged in foil , thus paving the way for the modern tea bag . salada was so successful that the company eventually moved from toronto to boston in 1917 , into a custom building designed by the architects densmore and leclear .
oday , people wanting a warm cup of quality tea , still reach for a box of salada , as many generations have done before . peter larkin would be as proud of his tea blend today as he was when he started in 1892 .
after being restored in the mid - 1980s , the old salada building is now an office building .
these twelve - foot - tall , two - ton bronze doors were commissioned by peter c . larkin , founder of the salada tea company , to celebrate his industry’s storied past .

only green tea i will drink . . great favor , not bitter . great service !
the salada tea co . sold the building in 1952 , but only left the premises in 1957 , when it moved its operations and offices to 1400 cote - de - liesse in the burough of st . laurent .
when canadians want to share a warm cup of quality tea with friends and family , they still reach for a box of salada , as many past generations have done before . it goes without saying that we think theodore estabrooks would be as proud of his tea blend today as he was over 100 years ago .

this is my favorite green tea . . . delicious and healthy , i drink two cups per day and am getting ready for my daily routine - to use my elliptical trainer for 20 minutes . i am 82 years of age . can ' t say that salada tea is the sole reason for my good health . . . it is just one healthy product that i enjoy .
the popularity of salada teas in the u . s . led to the establishment of u . s . headquarters and a blending and packaging plant in boston , massachusetts in 1917 . larkin constructed his new headquarters in the back bay area of boston and commissioned the magnificent bronze doors that mark the entrance to the salada tea building . the doors depict the early history of the tea trade as well as larkin ' s commitment to quality . over 12 feet tall and weighing more than two tons , the doors still stand proudly at 330 stuart street in boston .
redco foods is owned by teekanne gmbh of dusseldorf , germany . ' teekanne , ' which means
tea pot ,
is the premiere brand of specialty herbal and fruit teas in europe . inventors of the flow - through tea bag , the majority of tea bags sold in the united states over the last thirty years have been manufactured using teekanne equipment .
in it ' s early days , tea was a high commodity , priced around $ 30 to $ 50 per pound ( roughly equal to 200 tea bags ) . during the 1800 ' s , tea clippers raced from china to london and other ports . the first clipper to arrive with its cargo fetched the highest prices . largely because of this new , efficient method of transportation , the supply of tea became more plentiful and thus less expensive , allowing all to enjoy the tasty beverage .
in most recent years , green tea has exploded in popularity , especially among the western world , due to it ' s renowned health benefits . though research is still in the early stages , the ritual of tea is one to be enjoyed and savored !
these are the the best tea bags ever ! it has a distinct flavor that can ' t be duplicated or substituted . i ' m baffled how walmart currently has none of this tea on its shelves within a 50 mile radius of my home ! ! !
tragically , john edwards died one month later and john rigg became sole owner . the canadian salada business was sold to unilever ( canada ) in 1990 and the redco us business to teekanne gmbh in 1995 .
over 80 employees come together to create the many diverse blends that comprise salada’s line of teas . our employees are just like our customers : devoted workers who take pride in the effort we make . we’re dedicated to giving our customers new ways to experience tea that make it easier to enjoy your favorite blends and do something healthy for yourself at the same time .
my wife is very particular about her tea and drinks a lot of it , the price is only . 01 cents more than the local grocery i can ' t afford to pass this up !
it was founded by john edwards ( former president of brooke bond in the us ) and john rigg ( former president of brooke bond , canada ) and commenced business in november , 1988 in hauppauge , new york . salada foods was acquired in june 1988 in both the us and canada .
over the centuries , green tea became a widely consumed beverage among asian countries , including china , japan and india . two oxidation methods for green tea were discovered , which led to an evolution of the flavor and appearance . the first , japanese style ‘steaming method ' was introduced during the 8th century , followed by the the chinese style ‘pan fired ' method in the 12th century . both processes are still in use today .
my absolute favorite green tea . sometimes i steep it for only 2 or 3 minutes , sometimes 6 to 8 minutes depending on how strong i want it that day . always delicious especially with honey and lemon . iced or hot .

kellogg is a global company committed to building long - term growth in volume and profit and to enhancing its worldwide leadership position by providing nutritious food products of superior value .
the wheat flake is first produced by dr . john harvey kellogg and will keith kellogg at the sanitas food company .
battle creek toasted corn flake company is founded in battle creek , michigan , by will keith kellogg .
the company is renamed toasted corn flake company ; the main factory building is destroyed by fire .
kellogg sells mrs . smith ' s frozen foods , cereal packaging , ltd . , and its argentine shack food business ; kellogg opens a plant in riga , latvia .
kellogg teams with conagra to create a cereal line sold under the healthy choice label ; kellogg opens a plant in taloja , india .
carlos gutierrez becomes ceo ; kellogg sells the lender ' s division to aurora foods and acquires worthington foods .
kellogg acquires convenience food maker kashi company ; kellogg reorganizes its operations into two divisions ( usa and international ) .
general mills passes kellogg as the number one cereal maker ; kellogg acquires keebler foods .
commercial production of the granose flakes began in 1895 with improvised machinery in a barn on the sanitarium grounds . the factory was soon in continuous production , turning out more than 100 , 000 pounds of flakes in its first year . a ten - ounce box sold for 15 cents , which meant that the kelloggs collected $ 12 for each 60 - cent bushel of wheat processed , a feat that did not go unnoticed around battle creek , michigan .
in 1900 production was moved to a new $ 50 , 000 facility . when the new factory building was completed , dr . kellogg insisted that he had not authorized it , forcing w . k . to pay for it himself .
meanwhile , other companies were growing quickly , but dr . kellogg refused to invest in the company ' s expansion . its most notable competitor was the postum cereal company , launched by a former sanitarium patient , c . w . post . post added grape - nuts to his line in 1898 and by 1900 was netting $ 3 million a year , an accomplishment that inspired dozens of imitators and turned battle creek into the cereal - making capital of the united states .
in 1902 sanitas improved the corn flake it had first introduced in 1898 . the new product had better flavor and a longer shelf life than the 1898 version . by the following year the company was advertising in newspapers and on billboards , sending salesmen into the wholesale market , and introducing an ambitious door - to - door sampling program . by late 1905 , sanitas was producing 150 cases of corn flakes a day with sales of $ 100 , 000 a year .
the next year w . k . kellogg launched the battle creek toasted corn flake company with the help of another enthusiastic former sanitarium patient . kellogg recognized that advertising and promotion were the keys to success in a market flooded with look - alike products - - the company spent a third of its initial working capital on an ad in ladies home journal .
by the time of the fire , the company had already spent $ 300 , 000 on advertising but the advertising barrage continued . one anonymous campaign told newspaper readers to
wink at your grocer and see what your get .
winkers got a free sample of kellogg ' s corn flakes . in new york city , the ad helped boost corn flake sales fifteen fold . in 1911 the advertising budget reached $ 1 million .
by that time , w . k . kellogg had finally managed to buy out the last of his brother ' s share of the company , giving him more than 50 percent of its stock . w . k . kellogg ' s company had become the kellogg toasted corn flake company in 1909 , but dr . kellogg ' s sanitas food company had been renamed the kellogg food company and used similar slogans and packaging . w . k . sued his brother for rights to the family name and was finally successful in 1921 .
in 1922 the company reincorporated as the kellogg company because it had lost its trademark claim to the name
toasted corn flakes ,
and had expanded its product line so much that the name no longer accurately described the company . kellogg had introduced krumbles in 1912 , followed by 40 % bran flakes in 1915 , and all - bran in 1916 .
kellogg also made other changes , improving his product , packaging , and processing methods . many of those developments came from w . k . ' s son john l . kellogg , who began working for the company in its earliest days . j . l . kellogg developed a malting process to give the corn flakes a more nut - like flavor , saved $ 250 , 000 a year by switching from a waxed paper wrapper on the outside of the box to a waxed paper liner inside , and invented all - bran by adding a malt flavoring to the bran cereal . his father credited him with more than 200 patents and trademarks .
at that point the battle creek plant had 15 acres of floor space , production capacity of 30 , 000 cases a day , and a shipping capacity of 50 railcars a day . each day it converted 15 , 000 bushels of white southern corn into corn flakes . the company had 20 branch offices and employed as many as 400 salesmen . during the next decade the kellogg company more than doubled the floor space at its battle creek factory and opened another overseas plant in sydney , australia , in 1924 .
in 1930 w . k . kellogg established the w . k . kellogg foundation to support agricultural , health , and educational institutions . kellogg eventually gave the foundation his majority interest in kellogg company . the company , under w . k . ' s control , also did its part to fight unemployment , hiring a crew to landscape a ten - acre park on the battle creek plant grounds and introducing a six - hour , four - shift day .
the company continued adding new cereals , aiming some at adolescent baby boomers and others , like special k and product 19 , at their parents . kellogg ' s corn flakes still led the cereal market and got more advertising support than any other cereal on grocers ' shelves . kellogg poured nearly $ 10 million into corn flakes advertising in both 1964 and 1965 , putting more than two - thirds of those dollars into television .
the biggest threat to kellogg ' s continued growth wasn ' t criticism , but rather the aging of its market . by the end of the 1970s growth slowed dramatically as the baby boom generation passed from the under - 25 age group , which consumes an average of 11 pounds of cereal a year , to the 25 to 50 age group , which eats less than half as much cereal . cereal - market growth dropped , and kellogg lost the most . its market share fell from 43 percent in 1972 to 37 percent in 1983 .
in 1984 kellogg bought about 20 percent of its own stock back from the w . k . kellogg foundation , a move that increased profits and helped defend the company against future takeover attempts , while satisfying a legal requirement limiting the holdings of foundations without giving potential raiders access to the stock .
by the mid - 1980s the results of kellogg ' s renewed assault on the cereal market were mixed . the company ' s hopes of raising per capita cereal consumption to 12 pounds by 1985 fell flat . but kellogg did regain much of its lost market share , claiming 40 percent in 1985 , and it continued to outperform itself year after year . in 1986 kellogg posted its 30th consecutive dividend increase , its 35th consecutive earnings increase , and its 42nd consecutive sales increase .
in order to hold on to as much of its market share as it could , kellogg management once again turned to increased marketing and advertising in 1990 . even in the face of the pressure from lower - priced private - label products , the company also continued to raise its prices in the early 1990s to generate sufficient revenue . this trend was finally reversed in 1994 , however , when general mills lowered its prices , forcing kellogg to do the same .
in the midst of these difficulties , lamothe retired in 1992 and was replaced as chairman and ceo by the president of kellogg , arnold g . langbo . under langbo ' s direction , the company underwent a reengineering effort in 1993 that committed the company to concentrate its efforts on its core business of breakfast cereal . that year and the next , kellogg divested itself of such noncore assets as its mrs . smith ' s frozen foods pie business , cereal packaging , ltd . , based in england , and its argentine snack food business .
although kellogg had a commanding position internationally , it faced a new and more formidable international competitor starting in 1989 . general mills and the swiss food titan nestlé s . a . established a joint venture called cereal partners worldwide ( cpw ) , which essentially combined general mills ' cereal brands and cereal - making equipment with nestlé ' s name recognition in numerous markets and vast experience with retailers there . by 1994 , cpw was already beginning to eat into kellogg ' s market share in various countries .
in an effort to reduce costs and create a more focused and accountable workforce , about 25 percent of its north american workforce was let go and steps were taken toward the reorganization of the corporate structure . as a result , several top officers left in 1998 and 1999 . in april 1999 , cuban - born and 25 - year veteran of the company carlos m . gutierrez became ceo . gutierrez ' s vision for kellogg was
to begin a process of renewal designed to strengthen significantly the ability of the kellogg company to compete and prosper in the 21st century .
his new team included eight new top executives , including four who joined the company in 1999 and 2000 .

hugh hagood hardy , cm , composer , arranger , vibraphonist , pianist , percussionist ( born 26 february 1937 in angola , indiana ; died 1 january 1997 in hamilton , ontario ) .
starting in the mid - 1970s , in addition to his advertising work , hardy began to compose and record music for tv , radio , and films . he wrote scores for the feature films second wind ( 1975 ) , rituals ( 1976 ) , and klondike fever ( 1980 ) , and for the tv movies “bethune” ( 1977 ) , “tell me my name” ( 1977 ) , “an american christmas carol” ( 1979 ) , and “liberace : behind the music” ( 1988 ) , among others . his work on the iconic cbc - tv movie “ anne of green gables ” ( 1985 ) earned him a gemini award in 1986 for best score . he also wrote the score for “anne of green gables : the sequel” ( 1987 ) and for the spinoff series “road to avonlea” ( 1990–96 ) .
hardy released more than a dozen pop - instrumental albums under his own name . beginning in 1976 , he performed programs of his best - known jingles and film music in symphonic “pop” concerts across canada — either at the head of a small ensemble or as a soloist with symphony orchestras . in 1990 , he introduced a jazz band in the hard bop style . they released the cd morocco ( 1990 ) and performed on occasion in toronto clubs .
dreamy , charming and emotionally evocative , hardy’s music sold over a half a million copies in canada . his debut album , the homecoming , sold more than 200 , 000 copies in canada , earning it double platinum status , while “the homecoming” achieved gold single status in canada . the compilation albums the hagood hardy collection ( 1979 ) and all my best ( 1988 ) both went gold , while a christmas homecoming ( 1980 ) and alone ( 1995 ) both went platinum .
“the homecoming” was the object of the first music plagiarism lawsuit in canada : gondos v . hardy and toth . the unsuccessful suit , which alleged copyright infringement , was brought in november 1980 and dismissed with costs in july 1982 . despite being vindicated , hardy found his composing career was temporarily interrupted . he ceased jingle writing in 1983 .
in 1992 , he was named a member of the order of canada , and in 1996 he received the toronto arts foundation’s lifetime achievement award . the socan hagood hardy jazz / instrumental music award was renamed in his honour in 1997 , following his death from stomach cancer earlier that year .

jeremy huck , ceo of nobel upstream , commented : “we are very pleased to announce this acquisition and look forward to working with the other stakeholders and , in particular , maersk who has demonstrated excellent operational management of this asset . this acquisition is a perfect fit with our growth strategy and an important addition to our existing portfolio in azerbaijan and north america . we see further potential in the field and consider it a best - in - class north sea opportunity . ”
pregeant returned several times to the point that if gis were such a bad employer , filipinos would not keep returning to work for the company . the drop in oil prices has slowed demand for the company’s services , he said , and the company now has only 30 filipino workers , but dnr “probably have 500 filipinos ready to come . ”
second , linking performance ratings and compensation in this way ignores recent findings in the cognitive sciences and behavioral economics . the research of nobel laureate daniel kahneman and others suggests that employees may worry excessively about the pay implications of even small differences in ratings , so that the fear of potential losses , however small , should influence behavior twice as much as potential gains do . although this idea is counterintuitive , linking performance with pay can demotivate employees even if the link produces only small net variances in compensation .
the maclure field currently produces 8000 bopd and 4 . 3 mmscf / d gas . maclure has been developed as a subsea tieback to the gryphon fpso located 3km to the west and also operated by maersk . maclure oil is comingled with gryphon and exported by shuttle tanker . uptime is best - in - class in the north sea , with low unit operating costs .
pregeant said gis had a stellar safety record . earlier this year the company celebrated six years of work on a major offshore oil platform without any recorded osha violations , according to gis’s website . he cited the company’s sophisticated training center , where workers simulate being stranded at sea in a storm , escaping a crashed helicopter , and feeling their way out of a smoky room .
stretching from west texas into eastern new mexico , the permian basin is a geologically diverse hydrocarbon province with more than a dozen productive formations . the widespread application of technologies such as horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing have made the permian basin the most prolific province in the united states : oil production has increased 150 % in last 5 years and now amounts to more than 2 . 4 million bpd .
dimensional fund advisors inc . is an american investment manager serving institutional and individual investors in north america , europe and asia . the dimensional fund advisors approach to investment is founded on the use of cutting - edge academic research . it has long - nurtured close relationships with leading academics in the field of finance , including 2013 nobel prize laureate eugene f . fama , who is a founding shareholder of the firm and a member of its board of directors . it also reported holdings of 19 . 7 million bp adss , equivalent to roughly 0 . 7 % of outstanding bp ordinary shares .
like its neighbours , norway wants to occupy upmarket niches and sell its expertise to the rest of the world . its government created statoil out of nothing by compelling private oil companies to hand over some of their expertise in return for their contracts and by building on the country’s established skills in shipping . it badgered the company to innovate by taxing profits heavily but providing generous tax relief on r & d spending .
in april a new world - scale bio - acrylamide production facility was commissioned at our site in bradford . this major investment will help to ensure the long term future of one of the uk’s largest chemical manufacturing facilities , which employs around 600 people . bradford is a basf production hub for polyacrylamides , used as water - soluble flocculation aids in industrial and municipal wastewater treatment , enhanced oil recovery , mineral processing and papermaking .
among the multiple agencies that regulate the offshore oil and gas industry , no one in government seems to have noticed that hundreds of filipino workers were being systematically mistreated , forced to live in inhumane conditions , discouraged from following their industry’s safety practices , and denied appropriate medical care . while president obama applauded splitting the mms into three agencies , critics argued the separation would enable the agencies to pass the buck when it came to difficult regulating issues . like , say , human trafficking .
azerbaijan’s oil and gas industries have advanced significantly since the regaining of independence . in the early 1990s , foreign companies began looking to invest in a country evidently rich in hydrocarbon resources and it now has a large say in global energy discussions . it is also the richest country in the south caucasus , increasingly able to influence political processes in the region . many analysts and politicians accept that energy is a key factor in any resolution of the region’s most complicated problem – nagorno - karabakh .
west delta operator black elk energy offshore operations and its contractor grand isle shipyard face criminal charges concerning the explosion on west delta block 32 platform e . gis is charged with three counts of involuntary manslaughter and one count of violating the clean water act . black elk faces three counts of involuntary manslaughter , eight counts of failing to follow proper safety practices under the outer continental shelf lands act , and one count of violating the clean water act . the case was scheduled to go to trial in january 2017 , but a stay has been issued . in early september , wood group pleaded guilty to a single , federal criminal count of violating the clean water act .
as pregeant tells it , filipino workers let gis know its recruiters in the philippines were taking advantage of them . “i didn’t like that , ” he said . “so we…found our own recruiting company . ” in 2009 , malagapo and dayao founded dnr offshore crewing services inc . the group served as the philippines - based manpower provider for , and acted in concert with , the galliano - based labor recruitment company d & r resources to bring filipino workers into the u . s . dayao and malagapo together also owned 50 percent of d & r ; the other 50 percent was owned by thunder enterprises . four of that company’s five owners were members of the pregeant family .
norway is now the world’s deep - sea drilling capital . statoil is a leading global company in its own right as well as being at the centre of an elaborate network that includes norwegian companies such as aker solutions and kongsberg maritime and the deep - sea divisions of foreign oil companies such as schlumberger . norwegian companies have learned how to drill horizontally as well as vertically . they have also cut the cost of exploratory drilling by developing technologies for mobile rigs that allows them to be kept steady in rough weather . the demand for this expertise is booming .
norway is the odd man out in the nordics . while its neighbours are flirting with free markets , norway is embracing state capitalism . its national oil champion , statoil , is the largest company in the region . the norwegian state owns large stakes in telenor , the country’s biggest telephone operator , norsk hydro , its biggest aluminium producer , yara , its biggest fertiliser - maker , and dnbnor , its biggest bank . it holds 37 % of the oslo stockmarket , but it also controls some non - listed giants such as statkraft , a power - generator , which if listed would be the third - biggest company on the stockmarket .
pregeant said he was introduced to filipino guest workers in july 2004 on a gis job in nigeria . he was impressed : “they speak english , they work very safe , and the quality of their work is outstanding . ” randolf malagapo and another filipino , danilo dayao , were in charge of looking after the men , and pregeant formed a connection with the two . gis finished the nigeria project around june 2005 ; in august , katrina struck , damaging oil platforms around the gulf , and the company had jobs to fill . “there was no labor to be found in southern louisiana , ” said pregeant , “so we reached out to the same people who had those filipinos . ”
huck added : “this acquisition is a perfect fit with our growth strategy and an important addition to our existing portfolio in azerbaijan and north america . ”
“we see further potential in the field and consider it a best - in - class north sea opportunity . ”
