...PHILOSOPHY OF TIME MGT Each of us has a personality-defining set of "resonant frequencies" (see link for details), and one thing I've noticed about mine are that I work best when I focus on one or a few things for a certain period of time. I do not juggle well. Therefore, I am inclined to think that I should chart out a small number of things to focus on for given periods of time. In particular, I would like to control my focus when I have specific meaningful deadlines. Letting deadlines slip by is very unfortunate. It's important to understand the fundamental difference between deadlines you set yourself for personal disciplinary reasons, and deadlines that actually impact what you will be doing. For example, if I have a meeting about something it is quite important for me to do enough thinking and preparing for the meeting to go as planned by me. The first and most important thing for me to do is note the meaningful deadlines I have. If I don't keep track of them then I will not be able to make the most of the opportunities that cause these deadlines to be important. However, even as I do that, it's quite important to still prioritize highly those things that are important but do not impose meaningful deadlines. Otherwise, there will be a sort of tragedy of the commons, where instead of many different people sharing a common area, the different people are all me, just at different points in time, and the shared property is the possibility of achieving some specific thing...

...INTRODUCTION Every minute, another woman dies in childbirth. Every minute the loss of a mother shatters a family and threatens the well being of surviving children. For every woman who dies, 20 or more experience serious complications. These range from chronic infections to disabling injuries (Such as Obstetric fistula). Maternal death and disability rates mirror the huge discrepancies that exist between the haves and the have-nots both within and between countries. Safe Motherhood begins before conception with proper nutrition and a healthy life style and continues with appropriate prenatal care, the prevention of complications when possible, and the early and effective treatment of complications. The ideal result is a pregnancy at term, without unnecessary interventions, the delivery of a healthy infant, and a healthy post partum period in a positive environment that supports the physical and emotional needs of the woman, infant and family. Working for the survival of mothers is a human rights imperative. It also has enormous socio-economic ramifications-and is a crucial international priority. Both the international conference on Population and Development and Millennium Development Goals call for a 75 percent reduction in maternal mortality between 1990 and 2015. This three prolonged strategy is key to the accomplishment of the goal: -All women have access to contraception to avoid unintended pregnancies. -All pregnant women have access to skilled care at the...

...nutritional value. And the cost of the production should not be very expensive. In connection with this, the researchers will develop a new product from Saba peel and Banana blossom. The researchers will utilize the Saba peel and Banana blossom as the main ingredients in making the patty with the addition of TVP as an additional protein source. Banana peels may be used to formulate preparations with pharmacologic/medicinal, nutritive and energy values. Recycling of fruit peel wastes will not only help lessen solid waste problems but will also help discover important substances that may prove to have vital use. Peel wastes of Saba can then be put to good use before its final disposal. Banana blossom is also considered an edible part of the banana. It is an excellent source of crude fibre in human diet and serves as an antioxidant when ingested. Also, Banana blossom can reduce the body sugar levels of diabetic patients and increase the haemoglobin content of the blood. With the use of Saba peel and Banana blossom as an alternative source of nutrients from meat or meat itself in making shanghai rolls would be a good deal. The researchers named the new product “Boregi”. 1. Significance of the Study It is already possible to produce burger patties from the Saba peel or either Banana blossom alone, but the development of the shanghai rolls made from Saba peel...

Economic developments In 2003, Japan's GDP fell by 0.1% over 2002 in nominal terms, but increased by 2.5% in real terms, which significantly exceeded the real growth rate in 2002 (a fall of 0.3%). Private demand, especially private capital investment, showed significant growth of 9.3% (after a fall of 7.2% in 2002). Due to the recovery in overseas economic conditions, Japan's exports also rose by 10.1%, exceeding the 2002 level (8.0%). On the other hand, private final consumption expenditure remained virtually flat in 2003, with only 0.8% growth on the preceding year's level (0.9%). Conversely, public demand shrank by 2.1% (due to a reduction in public works). According to the Cabinet Office's 2004 'Annual Report on Japanese economy and public finance/economic survey of Japan', Japan's economic growth in 2003 can be attributed to: i) increased private demand; ii) improvements in corporate financial positions through reduction of excessive debt and...

History of Brant Animal Hospital Professional Corporation Brant Animal Hospital is a well-respected veterinary practice operating in Burlington Ontario. Brant opened its doors in 1985 as a satellite operation to an established veterinary practice, Tyandaga Animal Clinic in Aldershot. Ross Petersen and Elizabeth Shaw, the two founding veterinarians of Brant, were in partnership with two other veterinarians at Tyandaga Animal Clinic. They saw Brant as an opportunity to establish a new practice without risking their current operation by breaking into a new market, and hoped eventually to be able to practice full time from Brant Animal Hospital and sell their ownership in Tyandaga Animal Clinic. Unfortunately for Petersen and Shaw, their part-time efforts yielded part-time results. After five years, they were still unable to operate Brant Animal Hospital on a full-time basis. The operation could afford to have staff available only in the afternoons, equipment was underutilized, and stock was...

...Case 2 The Fast Food Industry A Porter 5-forces model of the fast food industry-----Wu Rongrong The threat of new entrants in the fast food industry is high. Because there are no legal barriers which would keep them from entering the industry. The major barriers in which a firm faces in the industry are the economies of scale and the access of the distribution. In order for a firm to enjoy success in the industry, they must spend a large amount of capital on advertising and marketing. The industry is very competitive because firms are always attempting to steal customers from each other. Access for distribution is crucial in the restaurant industry because if the customer can’t see you or access you easily it’s possible that they won’t go out of there way to eat there. Franchise options also make is easier to enter the market, for example Subway has built their strategic plan around franchise options. Therefore, initially the only cost to enter the market is the starting capital required to open a restaurant. (1) On the one hand, the entry barriers are low. Most fast food restaurants are small size without any advantage. There is no brand advantage for the lack of famous brand, and the capital requirement is low. The resource is more, and the existing fast food restaurant cannot form barriers for the resources. Besides, the cost is low, and the existing fast food restaurant doesn’t have rich production experience and management technology. On the other hand, the original...

Accidental inhalation of small particles, such as tiny pieces of peanuts or vegetables, while swallowing is common in young children. • Chemical pneumonitis- is a type of aspiration pneumonitis that develops when you inhale chemicals that are toxic to your lungs. Industrial and household chemicals, such as chlorine gas, ammonia, solvents and pesticides can all cause chemical pneumonitis. • Hypersensitivity pneumonitis- is nicknamed “farmer’s lung,” “mushroom picker’s disease” and other colorful names with good reason. Dust from animal dander, molds and plants, all potential allergens, can provoke an inflammatory reaction in your lungs. Symptoms usually develop within six hours of exposure to the allergen. Some people are more susceptible to developing hypersensitivity pneumonitis than are others, although it’s not certain why. • Radiation pneumonitis. A few people who undergo radiation therapy for lung cancer, breast cancer, leukemia or lymphoma develop this type of pneumonitis. Taking some types of chemotherapy drugs during radiation treatment may increase your risk of developing radiation-induced pneumonitis. • Drug-induced pneumonitis. A variety of drugs used to treat other conditions can cause...
