...Breastfeeding – no introduction necessary The focus of this review paper is on presenting and substantiating common knowledge and beliefs with scientific research and facts to demonstrate the advantages of breast milk feeding in early stages of human life and in years that follow. Discussion of non-scientific, i.e. social, economic, etc., aspects of breastfeeding will be limited, with primary focus given to human health outcomes for infants and mothers. The structure of this paper is decisively unconventional: where the author has chosen to discuss the body of common knowledge about breastfeeding before delving into the scientific research review. The intention is to draw the readers’ attention to the vast body of proven and observed advantages of breastfeeding for infant and mothers. Breastfeeding advantages – more than just food Breastfeeding is a natural process. Throughout human history breastfeeding was, and in many places around the world still is, a means to a healthy start to a human life. With the development of baby formula, and its availability, and relatively low cost, breastfeeding is now commonly thought to be a choice in the developed world. No longer a means to survival, no longer a requirement. To some, the advent of the baby formula is a direct form of feminine liberation. To others, baby formula is a necessity for medical or circumstantial reasons that are not driven by the freedom of choice. Those that choose the formula under pretenses other than necessity...

...Diseases are sometimes extremely devastating and cruel. Some diseases move very rapidly while others are slow and painful. Treatments are sometimes useful yet other times nothing can stop the silent beasts that lurk in the body. Parkinson’s disease is a slow moving disease that slowly corrupts the brain. Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a chronic motor disorder that causes tremors, rigidity, slowed body movements, unstable posture and abnormal gait. This happens when neurons, nerve cells, in a part or the brain called the substantial nigra gradually die. These cells normally produce dopamine, a chemical that helps relay messages between areas of the brain that control body movement. The death of the cells leads to abnormal low levels of dopamine, and causes difficulty in controlling muscle tension and muscle movement both at rest and during periods of activity. PD as of now affects about 500,000 Americans, with about 50,000 new cases diagnosed each year. It is generally a disease that affects people of late or middle age at about age 60 however about 5 percent of patients have early-onset PD and are younger than 40 years old when symptoms begin. PD is slightly more common in men then women. So far scientists have not determined the reason why some people develop PD and others do not. Some experts blame a process called oxidation. During oxidation unstable molecules that areproduced in the brain as a result of its normal chemical reactions which ultimately damage the brain. Another...

...PROJECT MANAGEMENT Introduction Many definitions had been given to project by different authors, due to the fact that project is a multidisciplinary word that has different meaning from different perspective and orientations. Engineers, Architects, Managers and so on, have their definitions coined out from their experiences as far as their professions are concerned. Project according to Project Management Institute, PMI, (2006) cited in Pinto (2007) “is a temporary activity or endeavor undertaken purposely to create a unique output (product or service) within budget, time and standards. Turner and Muller (2003) in their own words defined project as “an organization of human materials and financial resources in a novel way, to undertake a unique scope of work, of given specification, within constraints of cost and time, defined by quantitative and qualitative objectives so as to achieve a beneficial change”. The uniqueness of project is pointing to its genuine nature in the sense that there may not be a pre-existing blue print for the project’s execution and there may not be a need to repeat the project once completed. Its goal characteristics may be well perceive as achieving stated objectives or solve a particular problem, while its temporary nature signifies a discrete, definable commencement and conclusion. Project management on the other hand, according to Abbasi and Al-Mharmah (2005) “is the art and science of planning, designing and managing work throughout all the phases...

...products, used this technique with great success to build highly recognizable brands. Technology makes the spread of product knowledge from one person to another faster and more efficient. Today, digital media like the Internet are the new word of mouth networks, which act as easy, additional resources for people to spread the word. "The Net amplifies the power and accelerates the speed of feedback from users to potential adopters." "People have always relied on word-of-mouth to spread the news about products and services. The Internet just speeds things along," says Charlene Li, an analyst with Forrester Research. Word-of-mouth techniques are vital to marketing on the Internet. Consumers say the primary source of credibility that makes them visit a Web site is word-of-mouth referrals, usually an e-mail from a friend, according to the Internet research firm Jupiter Research. Tim Draper, one of the founding investors for the free e-mail product Hotmail, and a partner with the venture firm Draper Fisher Jurvetson (www.dfj.com), coined the term "viral marketing" in 1997 when he first noticed similarities between the rapid adoption of products via word of mouth and the spread of biological viruses. Draper noted the viral phenomenon after Hotmail went from 0 to 12 million subscribers in just eighteen months, largely...

...EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Jollibee Foods Corporation (JFC) is the parent company of Jollibee, a fast-food restaurant chain based in the Philippines. Among JFC's popular brands are Jollibee, Chowking, Greenwich, Red Ribbon, Manong Pepe's and its recently acquired local fast-food Mang Inasal. Since its inception, Jollibee has become an increasingly profitable fast-food chain with 1,921 (Jollibee 702, Chowking 406, Greenwich 221, Red Ribbon 215, Delifrance 23, Mang Inasal, Manong Pepe 15) store branches in the Philippines and 395 in other countries employing 29,216 workers. Including all its brands, JFC has 1,804 stores worldwide and total sales of more than Php 52 billion as of December 2010. Despite owning 52% of the total local Quick Service Restaurants, the competition with its rival firms is still stiff. The source of rivalry stems from price wars and marketing innovations. The rivalry is also centered on the KSFs (Key Success Factors) of the industry, which are good food, good service and reasonable pricing. Rivals are somewhat equal in capabilities and opportunities, thus making the competition stiffer. Moreover, standardization of service contributes to the intensity of rivalry. INTRODUCTION Fast food, also known as Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) is the term given to food that can be prepared and served very quickly. While any meal with low preparation time can be considered to be fast food, typically the term refers to food sold in a restaurant or store...
