...Public Breastfeeding 3 In 2009, a publicized survey revealed that 37 percent of Australians felt the breastfeeding should be done in private. However, on some websites, people compared public breast feeding to urinating in public. While it is certainly understandable why someone would be offended by public breastfeeding, needless to say it is nowhere close to urinating in public. Breastfeeding is a source of food for an infant; meanwhile, urinating in public is bad-mannered, vulgar, and public display of filth. History of Breastfeeding The history of breastfeeding has been around for centuries; nonetheless, breastmilk was a baby’s only foundation of nutrition. “Throughout early human history, breastmilk was a baby’s only source of nourishment. If a woman could not breastfeed, she would sometimes turn to a wet nurse for help.” (breastfeeding, 2015). By the time the 1950s, rolled around, women were given the option to choose...

...the use of skin-to-skin contact, using baby slings, co-sleeping, baby-led attachment and use of the hands-off technique (HOT), ways to empower mothers, positive reinforcement, the Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative (BFHI) and ethical, legal and competency aspects of this critical incident. The incident unfolded as follows. Ellen was a twenty-seven year old primipara who had been on the postnatal ward for five days. It was handed over that she was having difficulty breastfeeding due to large breasts and flat nipples and as a result the baby (Harry) wouldn’t attach and was very unsettled. My first contact with Ellen was when she requested assistance to breastfeed. The hands-off technique was used but Harry would not open his mouth to attach to Ellen’s nipple and was crying throughout. I enlisted the help of a senior midwife who had assisted Ellen previously. She settled Harry by placing her finger in his mouth and rubbing his soft pallet. She placed a rolled hand towel under Ellen’s breast and...

...PHYSIOLOGY OF LACTATION Before lactation ← The female breast is primed by estrogen, progesterone, growth hormone, insulin, thyroid hormone and glucocorticoids. ← These hormones aid in the growth of the ductal system and lobules, and in the development of secretory characteristics of the alveoli. ← Ironically, high levels of estrogen and progesterone also inhibit lactation at receptor sites in the breast tissue. ← The precipitous drop in the levels of these hormones after delivery, in the presence of an elevated prolactin level, facilitates lactation. Lactation: ← Means – the secretion of milk by the breast (Sweet 1992) The Physiology of Lactation can be divided into 2 aspects: 1. Lactogenesis – the initiation of lactation 2. The lactation Reflexes Physiology of Lactation: 1. Lactogenesis / Milk Production • Following placental separation & expulsion, oestrogen & progesterone levels decreased to the point where prolactin can be released & activated • Prolactin – secreted by galactophore (milk cell) of the anterior pituitory gland stimulates milk manufacture – increased • Prolactin now caused the acini cells in the alveoli to produce milk rather than only colostrums • It functioned to act & select nutrients, water & antibodies from the blood supply around the breast to form milk & will pass through the acini cells droplets by droplets & is collected in the alveoli ...

...Feedforward control is one of the most desirable controls because it allows management to take action before a problem occurs and before damage happens (Coulter & Robbins, 2012). Many organizations require new hires to go through training. Some training is brief and some extensive. Training is an essential part of how successful the employees will be. The employee needs to understand the goals, culture, and mission of the organization first. Then the job will align with that. During new hire training, employees need learn and absorb as much information as they can that will aid them in carrying out their job duties successfully. It is important to note that training occurs throughout the employee life cycle and is not limited to new hires. Training new employees for a timeshare call center will require training guidelines that will educate the new hires on what timeshares are, how the company promotes timeshares, the company’s mission, the job expectations and what their role will be within the company. Communication skills should also be a part of training. This should include how to communicate effectively with clients, sales techniques, and how effectively to address potential conflicts with clients. In a timeshare call center environment, quality assurance is essential. Because the interaction with clients is primarily over the phone, there needs to be a system in place to evaluate the employees and how effective are. Management must listen to calls to ensure that...

...response or create something similar to a blog. An area which is rarely used in Facebook is the Notes section. It is a writing area which many bloggers find useful. The reason is because Facebook Notes does not have a character limit, as of yet. Users are directed to this area if they have very long status or comment to make. This can be used to someone's advantage if they have a longer post to make and wish to share it with their friends through tagging. At Facebook, users upload and post new photos every day. When uploading pictures, users may need to write a description, which has a 5000 character limit. Once uploaded, few friends will comment about the post, which should give them a character limit of 8000 characters. On news feeds, long posts only show the first 1,200 or so characters.

...company is ethical or not has definitely been one that has been under great debate. There are some individuals that feel it is just another tool to give the government as well as other people, in general, an avenue to spy on the majority of our population with. It collects data and stores it all for what reason? Are you a Facebook user? Why do you use it? The article, "Experimental Evidence of Massive-scale Emotional Contagion Through Social Networks" published last week in The Proceedings of the National Academy of Science (PNAS), is an example how the masses can be purposely swayed. As summarized in this article, Facebook conducted an experiment in which it manipulated nearly 155,000 users news feeds (Table 1). They wanted to see if, by manipulating these users news feeds, whether the users’ emotions would be effected. The company’s research including this massive number of users included funneling positive posts from friends to one group and negative posts to another to see how the positive versus negative posts affected user responses. Max Masnick, a researcher with a doctorate in epidemiology, quoted in the article, "I do human-subjects research every day". He continues to stick with his opinion that the structure of the experiment displays that there was no informed consent - a key element of any studies on humans. "As a researcher, you don’t get an ethical free pass because a user checked a box next to a link to a website’s terms of use. The researcher...

...Jamie Roberts 9/16/13 Management 105: Deepwater in Deep Trouble 1. What type(s) of control—feedforward, concurrent, or feedback—do you think would have been most useful in this situation? Explain your choice(s). Feedforward control would have been the most useful type of control in this situation. The Deepwater Horizon accident had massive implications for the health of workers and nearby residents, the economy, and the environment. BP had a responsibility to take the potential dangers of their drilling operation seriously and plan for potential problems. There should have been backup protections to prevent accidents like the one that occurred. At the very least they should have practiced concurrent control. At the first signs of a problem they should have taken whatever actions were necessary to prevent the type of disaster that occurred. 2. Using Exhibit 18-2, explain what BP could have done better. First the company needed to measure their actual performance. They needed to look at their practices and analyze the data that they were receiving from engineers on the site to determine whether or not the work was being completed in the proper manner. Once this data was collected it needed to be analyzed in an objective way and compared to both the internal standards and the external regulations set by governing bodies for oil drilling operations. When issues were discovered they needed to be taken seriously by people at all levels of the company and appropriate...

...Kiani Lane and Chelsea Carey October 28th 2015 Deepwater in Deep Trouble Summary: On April 20th 2010, the United States faced not only on of its largest environmental disasters but the biggest offshore oil spill in its history. Off the Gulf of Mexico a large oil rig, Deepwater Horizon, operated by British Petroleum, exploded killing 11 employees and leaking an estimated 4.9 million gallon of crude oil into the ocean. Furthermore, the explosion caused a subsequent fire resulting in the ultimate sinking of the Deepwater Horizon. Although this disaster was accidental there were many warning signs that BP neglected which could have prevented it. To begin with, the construction of the underwater drilling pipelines were shoddy and a vital valve was installed backwards. Consequently the pipelines became brittle, full of cracks, and flooded. In addition, equipment readings, internal documents from BP engineers, and other red flags warned that the rig wasn’t operating correctly and that there was potential for a dangerous explosion. However, all these signs were ignored and not addressed as threats by managers. In an effort to avoid incurring costs and to maximize profit, BP cut corners and underestimated the importance of safety. After initial investigations it became clear that BP not only missed significant signs but staff did not have proper training, maintenance of the rig was inferior, and overall BP lacked formalized emergency responses and a safety culture. As a result BP...

...1) Feedforward control would be the most effective type of control in this case. Knowing that this control takes place before the actual activity, it allows detecting and preventing possible issues. Since the first day for the T5 was very important for its reputation ,and that solving problems as they occur in an airport can take too much time and therefore cause frustration for passengers.(concurrent control) 2) Information controls, customer interaction controls, and benchmarking Information controls could provide the managers with accurate information about the problems that the passengers face and have a clear idea about the occurring events and deviations in the Terminal. Customer interaction is crucial in this case because the satisfaction of the passengers with the quality of the services provided is the best indicator for the managers to estimate the effectiveness of the organization and to improve the actual performance. Benchmarking which is searching the best practices among competitors or non competitors could have helped the managers to choose better equipment and prevent problems such as understaffing or lack of communication. 3) British Airways ‘controls have been more effective with: Better and more realistic tests could have prevented the under-staffed teams. Communication with the passengers and especially the inexperienced ones could have limited this chaos and limit their disruption. More realistic and harder tests could have shown...

...Breast feeding Vs. Formula feeding University of Phoenix COM/170 December 22, 2014 Winifred Donnelly Breast feeding Vs. Formula feeding When becoming a parent, there are many decisions that have to be made before the baby is even born. The most important decision is whether a mother will breastfeed or formula feed her baby. Breastfeeding should be the only option in feeding a baby unless there is a medical reason for why a mother cannot. When deciding on how she will feed her baby, a mother should know why formula is used rather than breast milk. She should know why breast milk is so much healthier, and she should be aware that there are several solutions that can solve any issues that may come up with breastfeeding. Women should know why formula is used rather than Formula Comfort and Lifestyle A woman should know why so many women never even consider breast milk as being an option for feeding their child. Many mothers choose formula over breast milk for reasons that have nothing to do with their baby. According to Kids Health from Nemours (1995-2014), their article Breast or Bottle, states “for many women their decision to breastfeed or formula feed is based on their comfort level, lifestyle and specific medical considerations that they might have. Many women do not breastfeed due to their comfort level and what people may think of them.”(para. Three sentence 2). Most women decide that they do not want to breastfeed because out in public people may find it inappropriate...

...different then her mother and sister. She has blonde hair and blue eyes. She was of the Aryan race. The short story took place in a concentration camp. It does not say where exactly but from context clues you realize the kind of situation they are in. Two out of the three characters are starving and they rarely get any food. But when they do get food, Rosa hands it right to Magda. Rosa carries Magda in a shawl. It is where Magda is the most comfortable and she cannot be seen. No one knows that Magda exists. Being that Magda is wrapped in a shawl, she gets to feed off of her mother’s breasts. But eventually Rosa’s breasts stop producing milk. It crossed Rosa’s mind several times to give away her daughter Magda to a random on the street. But Rosa was terrified of getting killed so she never did so. The shawl that carried Magda was magical. When Rosa ran out of breast milk, Magda began to suck on the corner of the shawl. It kept Magda feed for three days and three nights. Stella wanted to eat her little sister because she was very jealous of her. She was so hungry she did not think it would be wrong of her. Stella stole Magda’s shawl from her. Magda has not said a word since Rosa stopped producing milk. But she finally said something when she was looking for her mom when she wondered off. Rosa took the shawl back from Stella and went to go find Magda to show her that she got her shawl back. Rosa held the shawl up in the air and began waving it. But she saw Magda being held up, getting smaller...

The study will discuss and analyze several factors of the animal feed industry. This industry, TFI are facing a few difficulties in operational and human resource management. Which later on will be further discussed and elaborated. One obstacle the company’s facing is balancing the plant’s production load, due to the plant producing different feeds which takes time and to set up and change over feeds for different animal and variants. Another issue is the shortage supply of quality raw materials and reliability of the adequate quality of raw materials. Orders of raw materials in bulk isn’t really advisable for that the animal feeds have a limited shelf life. Lastly is the need to pre-empt the entry of a disruptive labor organization into the company. Although resolving this issue will be costly and grim, the company has a few opportunities to even out this concern. And they are: customers are loyal and they do not like to switch from one brand to another for the sme batch of animal feeds, the company demands for goods are always high, the companies distribution chain is high and strong within the region, livestock farmers do not like to switch from one brand to another for the same batch of animals. TFI Inc. is attempting to fully comply with the orders of their clients, but due the plants limitation. Orders of Brief description...
