...Clostridium difficile, or C-diff is a bacterial infection that causes severe inflammation to the colon. About 500,000 Americans develop Clostridium difficile and 14,000 of those people die. Due to this it is a serious problem. Many expensive antibiotics have been used to cure this disease, but they failed. Canadian researchers discovered a new way to hopefully cure C-diff. They found a safe and healthy to put people’s “poop” into pills. This method was used in 27 patients, all of them were cured. These fecal transplants only come from healthy, well suited donors. The poop restores good bacteria to the patient's body which destroys the infection and prevents future infections. There really isn't poop in these pills, just the bacteria, which...

...The fact that formula takes longer to digest is part of the reason why there's a prevalent myth that formula fed babies sleep longer than breastfed babies. The truth is that both breastfed and formula fed babies sleep about the same amount of time. Formula fed babies simply tend to go longer between feeds. The slower digestion rate could be a contributing factor to the difference in stools between breastfed and formula fed babies. There Are Different Formulas for Many Ailments Every baby is different and many infants are born with needs that affect what they are fed. Walking down the formula aisle at any grocery store, a mother will be confronted by dozens of different types of formula. While most of those formula canisters will be roughly the same, some were created for a specific purpose. For babies born with allergies to cow's milk, there are a few brands that offer non-dairy formula, usually in soy form. For babies with a variety of allergies, there are a few types of hypoallergenic formulas that can be used instead. These formulas are hypoallergenic because the proteins in the formula have already been broken down, making them easy to...

Moyer goes on to discuss the NSF Organization of Public Health sampled 26 public places that were commonly known for having germs such as, public restrooms, doctors’ office toys and children library books, were incomparable to the millions of germs “harboring” in sandboxes. Moyer warns parents’ uncovered sandboxes are used as bathrooms for animals. Consequently, sandboxes turn into “giant parasite Petri dishes.”...

...I LOVE red shoes! One time my uncle had a pair of red Nikes that made me just druel. He said he would give them to me for $100 because they don't fit him anymore, but at that time I never had $100, then he told me if I wanted the shoes I would have to work for him. He worked as a Pig Breeder, so I had no idea what I would have to do, so he gave me instructions on what i would have to do. First, feed the pigs, and that includes getting a 40 pound bag of Pig Pellets and putting a bag in each stall. second I had to count how many pigs were in each stall, but the catch was I had to get into the stall, and the pigs don't exactly like me. I have been there once before and one tried to ram me. The last thing I have to do is clean there pins, and that...

...In the video, most of the costumes are very revealing and fairly tight. On top of that, all of the women in the video have similar body types: they have the slim waist along with big butts and breasts. This leads you to believe that this is what society's idea of a "perfect" body is and that all women should look like this. On top of that instead of revealing the vocalist's face first, they give you a camera pan of her body and afterward her face. Once again giving this idea her body is more important. The video also reveals this idea through the lyrics which state, "I used to think that my tits was where it's at. Used to be concerned that my booty was too fat...Big booty's what they want and big booty's what I got." These lyrics inform us that this woman is concerned about what other people look for in body image and that she should have it. All of these conventions can encourage people to believe that the only part of a woman to be desired is her body and outer image rather than her mind and...

...There are way too many humans in this world. They are all fat and filled with food while I have to look for food on the streets like a pitiful monster. Oh! If my kind could rule this planet, I’d make these street rats poop (word suggest that another word for poop is beep-beep: ignore sentence) and pee outside, rain or shine. See how they like it. We would be able to feed ourselves five meals a day and play around as much as we want. We could have kids without worrying about dog-nappings and sold as slaves to random families. We never would have to worry about food, clothing, or shelter. But look at me. I’m thinner than the stop sign down at the corner. I am weaker than the child and hungrier than the “plump” woman. *sees the donut* Oh! Lookie, lookie, oh pitiful fool who is reading this! A donut!

...Thank you for your DB post this week. You offered some good ideas on planning, fads, and the transitional model in your post. You also used your research well to support the views. While the ideas are good, the piece has many writing problems that are taking away from the ideas you are offering. Please see some example edits below and please begin using the writing center as it is a great resource. 80% DB Forum 2 Part 1 1. How do you think planning in today’s organizations compares to planning in an organization 25 years ago? Do you think planning becomes more important or less important in a world where everything quickly changes and crises are a regular part of organizational life? Why? As change is inevitable, it becomes more critical to efficiently plan. The tenets for performance planning per Brian Hill’s article in Chron magazine are: efficient use of resources, establishing goals, managing risk and uncertainty, team building, and creating competitive advantages. Management must inventory and correctly allocate resources throughout the business so that the resources assist the organization in reaching defined goals. There are many reasons for this. It is the duty of management to set aggressive yet achievable goals for his/her employees. The goals give the employee something to work for, and to never be satisfied with the status quo. Management and team leaders must develop hypothetical scenarios to deal with any unforeseen events. These could be economic...

...There’s Poop Where? There have been many moments in my life that have made a big impact on me. Some moments have been from meeting new people and some have been from losing a loved one. The biggest event that changed my life, more than any other, was finding out I would no longer be a single child. My mom and her fiancé at the time sat me down at the dinner table and told me the news. She was having a baby. Eleven wonderful years of not having to share anything of mine with anybody unless I wanted to. Eleven years of getting the majority of what I wanted, but now it all went down the drain. I would have a sibling. Someone I would be forced to share my things with and share my mom with. As the months went on and I went to the appointments for...

...potty training refusal Toilet training done badly can lead to medical complications, including dysfunctional voiding, constipation and impaction-and even child abuse. This article describes in detail how to treat toilet training problems before they cause harm. Toilet training can be defined as delayed if the child is over 3 years of age, has normal development, and is not toilet trained after three or more months of training. (This definition excludes families who have not yet started toilet training.) Usually the delay is in bowel training. Taubman found that 22% of bladder-trained children were not bowel trained one month after completing bladder training.' [For information on toilet training basics, see "Toilet training: Getting it right the first time," in the March issue, accessible at wwwcontemporarypediatrics.com. ] Although the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Primary Care Child and Adolescent Version uses 4 years of age as a cutoff for abnormal toilet training delays, it makes sense to evaluate delays at 3 years of age to prevent ongoing harmful approaches by parents. If the parents are mishandling toilet training problems, it's a mistake to allow them to continue to do so for an additional year before intervening. If, for example, parents are punishing the child for noncompliance or forcibly holding the child on the toilet, these negative interactions will be much harder to undo and repair with time. Calling delays abnormal can wait until 4 years...

...make things a little simpler you can determine whether an act is either positive deviance or negative deviance. Positive deviance is based on perspectives and the way a whole view a behavior; an example would be prophets, ministers, or as simply identifying someone as being smart. Negative deviance is considered to be not the normal for a whole; an example would be mental people, or someone being identified as stupid. Perspectives also play a key role in simplifying deviant behavior. The first one is, Positive perspective, which is considered to be traits in your genes. Positive perspectives consist of three assumptions about what deviance is: absolutism, objectivism, and determinism. The second is, Constructionist perspective, which is considered to be based on your life experiences. Constructionist perspectives consist of three assumptions about what deviance behavior is: relativism, subjectivism, and voluntarism. Last but not least there is the Anomie Strain Theory, which was developed by Robert Merton. This theory stated that a...

... Wallace Oromo Tribe How would you feel if you had to live in a house made entirely of cow poop (also known as dung), straw, and mud? Well if you live in most of the tribal areas of Ethiopia you would have had to do just that. Well for now I am focusing on the Oromo tribe, and this is what I have to say. The Oromo people live in the Oromo and tigray areas as well as in Kenya(which part of Ethiopia is Oromo and Tigray regions?) But the Oromo people were originally from south Somalia (Where is your resource). Later on they migrated to Ethiopia and Kenya. Now the Oromo people live in what they call the Oromo country also known as biyya-Oromo. The Oromo people lived strictly by culture. But they are now coming out of that little shell(What is that mean) and opening the door to civilization (how did they live in earlier time, explain). Were (where) their language is slowly mixing with the Amharic language. The Oromo people use to live in small muddy tukuls, made of poop and straw, but are now slowly changing their way of life.(Can u write a little bit how this small muddy tukules made, the steps) They now have phones and electronics in their language even the internet offers that language. (Tutiye You need to write more about their culture, what most of them eat, The Oromo people believed in god waaq (Upper Case). (What is Waaq explain the ceremony) Elaburate more what it is) Waaq was on of those gods that existed in the Oromo tribe and also Somalia a while before the...

...written about far too much already, says Barry. But guys and guyhood are neglected topics, and even though he "can't define exactly what it means to be a guy," Barry's essay lays out "certain guy characteristics" that distinguish his quarry from other warm-blooded animals in the field. ______________________________________________________________________________ This is a book about guys. It's not a book about men. There are already way too many books about men, and most of them are way too serious. Men itself is a serious word, not to mention manhood and manly. Such words make being male sound like a very important activity, as opposed to what it primarily consists of, namely, possessing a set of minor and frequently unreliable organs. But men tend to attach great significance to Manhood. This results in certain characteristically masculine, by which I mean stupid, behavioral patterns that can produce unfortunate results such as violent crime, war, spitting, and ice hockey. These things have given males a bad name. And the "Men's Movement," which is supposed to bring out the more positive aspects of Manliness, seems to be densely populated with loons and goobers. So I'm saying that there's another way to look at males: not as aggressive macho dominators; not as sensitive, liberated, hugging drummers; but as guys. And what, exactly, do I mean by "guys"? I don't know. I haven't thought that much about it. One of the major...
