...is the fair labor standards act is concerned about the standards for overtime and regular payment of wages. This act is enacted by the wage and hour Division and affects both private and public employment. This act requires the employers to pay the employees who have been covered regular minimum wages as per the minimum wages act and overtime pay which should be one and one and half that of regular rates. For all non agricultural organization it restricts the hours that children who are under the age of 16 should work and also restricts employment of children under the age of 18 to certain jobs which may be dangerous. In case it is an agriculture based company, children under the age of 16 should not work during the school hours (Kearns, Borgen, & American Bar Association, 2010). In order for the company to follow this act, the following practices are being put into action. The organization is ensuring that every employee gets minimum wages as dictated by the minimum wages act. The minimum wages for an employee should be $7.25 per an hour as per the federal minimum wage requirements. No children under the age of 16 are allowed to work in the organization. The organization has managed to keep records of its employees which includes employees full name, address or zip code, sex, date of birth, hours worked per day, regular hourly rate, and total time worked either daily or...

These non-profit organizations ranging from health services to Education services with big names such as Doctors without Borders and The Global Partnership for Education. With so many Organizations and sectors that need our attention I found myself in a dilemma trying to decide which one of these large nonprofits was best suited to my interest in contributing, however, the more I looked into their projects the more I realized that the projects would be near impossible to attend with my high school schedule so I began looking into more localized projects.

...Darussalam joined the ASEAN, followed by Viet Nam in 1995, Lao PDR and Myanmar in 1997, and Cambodia in 1999. Together these 10 nations make up today’s ASEAN Community . The blueprint of the ASEAN Economic Community has for its foundation four main pillars, namely (1) Single market and production base, (2) Competitive economic region, (3) Region of equitable economic development, and (4) Region fully integrated into the global economy. Another example is globalization in Mexico. A report by the Borgen Magazine shows that globalization has positively affected Mexico’s business and industry. In the 1980’s and 1990’s, Mexico implemented more lenient trade restrictions, lowered tarriffs, and signed the North American Free Trade (NAFTA) with the United States and Canada. The National Bureau of Economic Research reported that the nothern part of Mexico, which was given high exposure to globalization, fared better than its rural and less industrialized states in southern Mexico. The same Borgen Magazine Report stated that prior to Mexico’s exposure to liberalization and globalization, the state was in a trend of equalization, which came to an end at the onset of globalization in 1985. This resulted in the northern states of Mexico became richer while its southern counterparts were became poorer . In the United States, other than impacting its economy positively by allowing the USA to open more markets and sell their products in a global arena, it has helped even in times of national...

...heart. Their love for the country they grew up in is demonstrated by the work that they contribute to the overall welfare of U.S. The DACA organization has created many benefits to not only the recipients, but for the country. DACA recipients pay more in tax and receive no social or welfare benefits. In a recent founding, it was noted: “that unauthorized immigrants contribute 13 times more revenue to the program [and the economy] than they took out” (Borgen Magazine). The recipients are actually creating and giving the economy a better chance to help the American society as a whole. Also with the U.S. being known as the land of immigrants and success, these immigrants provide chances for new businesses and products that can be shared with the overall population. Tom K. Wong a professor of the University of California, San Diego conducted a survey stating that “5 percent of respondents [have] started their own business after receiving DACA [and that] DACA recipients outpace the general population in terms of business creation” (Borgens Magazine). This is because of their will and desire for a better life. This will power allows DACA recipients to improve their economic lives, but at the same time, they are also improving the lives of the American citizens. It has come to my attention that reasons for opposing DACA are due to that fact that people believe that allowing these illegal immigrants to stay will cause more illegal immigrants to enter the country. Although those statements...

...Inequalities affecting the distribution of health in Ethiopia Introduction This report will be analysing the high child mortality rate of children under five in Ethiopia and how this is affected by different illnesses and lack of contraception. One will be looking at findings and statistics within a population of 91.73 million people which is made up of 83% living in rural locations and 17% living in urban locations. (Mundi 2011) According to a 2007 census the religious breakdown of Ethiopia is 62.8% Christian (43.5% Ethiopian Orthodox, 19.3% other), 33.9% Islam, 2.6% Traditional and 0.6% other. (Habesha 2007) Ethiopia's population is highly diverse. Most of its people speak a Semitic or Cushitic language. The Oromo, Amhara, Somali and Tigreans make up more than three-quarters (¾) of the population, but there are more than 70 different ethnic groups within Ethiopia (Advameg 2015) Causes and factors of child mortality Diagram to show causes of child mortality rate in the under 5’s in Ethiopia Causes of under-five child mortality Another main cause of high child mortality rates in Ethiopia is malnutrition, due to the country struggling with poor poverty issues leading to lack of money to buy produce and drought which is stopping natural crops from growing. These play a huge impact on children getting the required intake of vitamins and nutrients to survive as many on the rural areas of Ethiopia are farm land. This inevitably leads to death. A staggering 28% of children...

...Schumpeter Bringing home the bacon Tiny Denmark is an agricultural superpower Jan 4th 2014 | From the print edition EVERY weekday 20,000 pigs are delivered to the Danish Crown company’s slaughterhouse in Horsens, in central Denmark. They trot into the stunning room, guided by workers armed with giant fly swats. They are hung upside down, divided in two, shaved of their bristles and scalded clean. A machine cuts them into pieces, which are then cooled, boned and packed. The slaughterhouse is enormous, ten football pitches long with 11km of conveyor belts. Its managers attend to the tiniest detail. The flyswatting workers wear green rather than white because this puts the pigs in a better mood. The cutting machine photographs a carcass before adjusting its blades to its exact contours. The company calibrates not only how to carve the flesh, but also where the various parts will fetch the highest prices: the bacon goes to Britain and the trotters to China. Denmark is a tiny country, with 5.6m people and walletdraining labour costs. But it is an agricultural giant, home to 30m pigs and a quiverful of global brands. In 2011 farm products made up 20% of its goods exports. The value of food exports grew from €4 billion ($5.5 billion) in 2001 to €16.1 billion in 2011. The government expects it to rise by a further €6.7 billion by 2020. Why, in a postindustrial economy, is the food industry still thriving? Much of the answer lies in a cluster in the central region of the country...

...The Female Athlete Triad The three components of the female athlete triad are energy availability, menstrual function, and bone mineral density. The triad is clinically referred to as eating disorders, amenorrhea, and osteoporosis. The female athlete triad has become more prevalent in the United States due to Title IX legislation. The triad is most common among the athletic population, but can occur in the athletic population. It is most common among athletes that are in sports the emphasize leanness. The pressure to perform at elite levels causes many female athletes to combine excessive exercise with calorie-poor diets. The benefits of exercise outweigh the risks, so women of all ages should be encouraged to participate in physical activity. It is important to rest your body between workouts to promote proper muscle and bone recovery. It is important to educate athletes, coaches, and parents on signs and symptoms of the triad to promote early detection and prevention. Energy availability is defined as dietary energy input minus exercise output. Energy availability is the amount of dietary energy remaining after exercise for other body functions. If energy availability gets to low physiological mechanisms reduce the amount of energy that is used for cellular maintenance, thermoregulation, growth, and reproduction. This can restore energy balance but it significantly impairs health. Athletes can cause an energy deficit in many different ways. Athletes reduce energy by binge-eating...

...Breast Cancer… Is Genetic Screening the Answer? By: Wendy Wilburn Biology 2020 – Biology II Dr. Robinson April 25, 2015 The Great Genetic Screening Debate ABSTRACT Within the past thirty years, researchers have found strong evidence that our DNA or genetic material may be a predictive factor for disease probability. This has lead to the development of genetic testing after the isolation of certain candidate genes. Although predictive genetic screening is only available for a selective number of diseases, its ramifications have become hot topics for debated issues in a broad range of arenas from governmental agencies to religious applications. (1). This debate began in 1993 when researchers isolated the BRCA1 gene, which is associated with the increased risk of developing breast cancer (1). The discovery of this gene leads to hope and speculation for development of a predictive genetic test that could identify women at risk for developing breast cancer. The purpose of my paper is to delve into the positives and negatives of predictive genetic testing, as it is applied to breast cancer precursors. INTRODUCTION Before I go into details about how these genetic tests were developed, I want to first discuss how certain genes can trigger an inactive disease. The human body requires the actions of many proteins working together. For a protein to work properly, an intact gene must be encoded for a specific protein. A mutation describes a gene which has genetically...

...enough energy from the food they eat to support both normal bodily functions and exercise. It is also suggested that these athletes be informed of the importance of consuming adequate micronutrients, particularly those important to bone repair and maintenance like calcium, vitamins C, K and D and magnesium (Thein-Nissenbaum et al., 2012). It is also suggested that early detection of disordered eating or other Triad risk factors may be the best factor to improve the long-term effects for athletes. In addition, it has been proposed that focus on leanness among athletes for better performance be de-emphasized for female athletes, as this may lead to disordered eating, and eventually to the development of the triad (Bratland-Sanda & Sundgot-Borgen, 2013). Risk factors for the Triad include the following: participating in more that 12 hours of purposeful exercise per week, low bone mineral density, low body mass index, participating in a sport where a lean figure is beneficial, amenorrhea, and elevated dietary restraint. (Barrack et al., 2014) ...
