...mother and the baby have such a beautiful bond known as nursing. It provides ideal nourishment and a special bonding experience that nursing mothers cherish. There are many benefits that come with breast feeding. First, it provides natural antibodies that help your baby resist illnesses, such as ear infections, sore throats etc. Secretory immunoglobulin is a substance that works as the main immune factor. This substance guards against invading germs by forming a protective layer on the mucous membranes in your baby’s intestines, nose and throat (Baby, 1997). Second, it is usually more easily digested than formula. Babies that are breast fed are usually less constipated and gassy. I work with infants, and the bowel movements of the breast...

...Clean Code Robert C. Martin Series The mission of this series is to improve the state of the art of software craftsmanship. The books in this series are technical, pragmatic, and substantial. The authors are highly experienced craftsmen and professionals dedicated to writing about what actually works in practice, as opposed to what might work in theory. You will read about what the author has done, not what he thinks you should do. If the book is about programming, there will be lots of code. If the book is about managing, there will be lots of case studies from real projects. These are the books that all serious practitioners will have on their bookshelves. These are the books that will be remembered for making a difference and for guiding professionals to become true craftsman.

...Problem Recognition. One model of consumer decision making involves several steps. The first one is problem recognition—you realize that something is not as it should be. Perhaps, for example, your car is getting more difficult to start and is not accelerating well. The second step is information search—what are some alternative ways of solving the problem? You might buy a new car, buy a used car, take your car in for repair, ride the bus, ride a taxi, or ride a skateboard to work. The third step involves evaluation of alternatives. A skateboard is inexpensive, but may be ill-suited for long distances and for rainy days. Finally, we have thepurchase stage, and sometimes a post-purchase stage (e.g., you return a product to the store because you did not find it satisfactory). In reality, people may go back and forth between the stages. For example, a person may resume alternative identification during while evaluating already known alternatives. Consumer involvement will tend to vary dramatically depending on the type of product. In general, consumer involvement will be higher for products that are very expensive (e.g., a home, a car) or are highly significant in the consumer’s life in some other way (e.g., a word processing program or acne medication). It is important to consider the consumer’s motivation for buying products. To achieve this goal, we can use the Means-End chain, wherein we consider a logical progression of consequences of product use that eventually...

...that Burt's Bees wanted to become the "Starbucks of personal care," in reference to the niche coffee" brand that won over its category by imposing superior product expectations and a renewed sense of meaning in consumption. Achieving this ambitious goal, however, would require many changes for the Maine-born brand that carried an anti-commercial image of friendly quirkiness. Already, rapid growth had propelled Burt's products into mainstream outlets such as CVS and Walgreen pharmacies. Under Replogle's leadership, the product range would be changing rapidly as well. It would still star the brand's classics, including beeswax lip balm and lip shimmers, and "hand salve" and other esoteric creams and ointments contained in small, endearing containers. Many products would continue to carry the brand's early (and highly recognizable) symbol: Roxanne Quimby's original drawing of Burt's bearded face, half shaded under a flaky hippie hat. However, new product lines, with a noticeably different look, were about to appear on Burt's Bees honey-yellow...

...WOMEN’S HIGH HEEL DISCOMFORT ANALYSIS AND PROTOTYPE SOLUTION A Senior Project submitted In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science in General Engineering And Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo by Kevin Blakley and Annamarie Kepple February 2013 Graded by: ______________ Date of Submission__________________________ Checked by: _____________ Approved by: _____________________________ Page 1 of 76 ABSTRACT WOMEN’S HIGH HEEL DISCOMFORT ANALYSIS AND SOLUTION Kevin Blakley and Annamarie Kepple Women love high heeled shoes, but this love comes at the cost of comfort. Wearing high heels causes a lot of pain and, in the long term, health complications. This project tries to overcome the problem by ultimately making high heels more comfortable. In order to do this, one must first understand the reasons that high heels are uncomfortable, such as arch angle, heel height, and the changes in walking motion. Once there is a true understanding of the factors that contribute to high heel discomfort, the design stage can begin. The design selected for this project was a wedge heel that contained compressive material. This design would improve user comfort in four different criteria. These criteria were arch angle, compression of the shoe, foot rotation, and ground contact surface area of the heel. After the working prototype was created, it was performance...

...FORM 5 Novels The Curse Table of Contents Introduction Synopsis Elements Activities Assessment Answer Key Glossary Panel of writers THE CURSE NOVEL What is a novel? Only in a novel are all things given full play – D. H. Lawrence (( A novel is a long narrative in literary prose. Novels tell stories, which are typically defined as a series of events described in a sequence. The novel has been a part of human culture for over a thousand years, although its origins are somewhat debated. Regardless of how it began, the novel has risen to prominence and remained one of the most popular and treasured examples of human culture and writing. There have been stories and tales for thousands of years, but novels must combine a few unique characteristics in order to be defined as such. First, a novel is written down, rather than told through an oral account. Secondly, novels are meant to be fictional in form, differentiating them from myths, which are said to have their basis in reality or theology. Although some modern scholars argue differently, there is no truly established guideline for length, point-of-view, or even establishment of a moral or philosophical point in novels.

...PHIL 127: History of Ancient Philosophy Socrates and His Mission When is a Question Philosophical? Philosophical questions have answers. (A question that has no answer is not a question; it just masquerades as one.) But a question is philosophical for a particular culture at a particular time when no means of answering it are available – or, none of the prevailing methods have any authority. A problem is a philosophical problem when the way to go about answering the question is in question. An issue is a philosophical issue when the right way to settle the issue is at issue. A Philosophical Crisis If the claims in the previous paragraph are true, then 5th century Greece was in a philosophical crisis. It was a crisis in morality. In our culture we think of morality as being concerned with rules. Here are some rules – You should not kill. – You should not steal. – Don’t hit people. – Lying is wrong. – It’s wrong to promise to do something and then not do it. – You should not covet your neighbors wife, or his ox or his ass or his male or female slave, or anything that is your neighbor’s. – You should not lie with a man as with a woman. – Thou should not wear fabric woven of wool one way and linen the other. – Do (imperative) unto others as you would have them do unto you. – Help (imperative) other people who are in need when you can do so at no great risk or cost to yourself. Why do we think of morality as consisting of rules? This question is important...

...Remember when flossing used to be simple? The seers at Philips have modified bathroom mirrors almost beyond recognition. The mirrored door, over the sink and on the medicine chest, previously used only for thoughts of who-is-the-fairest, is now another entertainment and information center, offering a picture-in-a-picture window on the televised world. Since nature doesn't always call at the best times, soon you won't have to miss any of those great Super Bowl commercials. The sink mirror goes hand in hand with the flexible pullout mirror, featuring a magnifying camera lens attached to a flexible arm for correct positioning and that complete hands-free body inspection we've all been missing. Under the mirror there's a recharge shelf and container, not only for electric shavers and toothbrushes, but also for the special "wands". These programmable remote controls will be used to store individual preset preferences for background music, television selection, room lighting, heating, and water temperature for the shower, bath or bidet. The bathroom of the future also eliminates the need for a...
