What is Origin: Definition and 666 Discussions

Country of origin (COO) represents the country or countries of manufacture, production, design, or brand origin where an article or product comes from. For multinational brands, COO may include multiple countries within the value-creation process.
There are differing rules of origin under various national laws and international treaties. Country of origin labelling (COOL) is also known as place-based branding, the made-in image or the "nationality bias." In some regions or industries, country of origin labelling may adopt unique local terms such as terroir used to describe wine appellations based on the specific region where grapes are grown and wine manufactured.
Place-based branding has a very ancient history. Archaeological evidence points to packaging specifying the place of manufacture dating back to some 4,000 years ago. Over time, informal labels evolved into formal, often regulated labels providing consumers with information about product quality, manufacturer name and place of origin.

    New thoughts during my second read of The Origin of Species

    New thoughts during my second read of "The Origin of Species"... On humans. Every time I read this book I have new ideas and this one came to me after a second read of Darwin, and another look into the documentary "Homo Futurus". For those of you who have not seen this documentary...

    Valles Marineras Origin and Origin of Asteroid Belt Linked?

    The aerial view of Valles Marineras has a strangely familiar look to it. As a kid I would shoot BB's at all sort of fruit and mud and stuff. Sometimes I'd hit a rotten apple or tomatoe with a glancing shot that would rip open a gaping tear for a distance as the BB would enter, force material out...

    Which was the origin, DNA, RNA or Protein?

    Hello! I'm looking for information, articles and theories about which could have been the original molecule of life: DNA, RNA or protein. Most of what I've found is based on the RNA world theory (which I think is pretty well explained and sounds plausible), but I haven't found out any...

    What is the Origin of Electric Charge?

    I have to say a lot of the physics discussd in this section is a little beyond me but that does not stop me thinking.

    Exploring the Lorentz Force: Its Origin and Effects

    The origin of dy = f'(c)dx in differentials

    Homework Statement If you have a point at x = c and a function f(x), then I know Δy = f(c + Δx) - f(c). Also, dy = f'(c)dx. However, I am uncertain of the origin of dy = f'(x)dx. I want to say: f(c + Δx) - f(c) = f'(c)(x-c) was simplified to dy = f'(c)dx where f(c + Δx) - f(c) = dy...
