...Diaper Humiliation Holly had worked as a baby-sitter for the neighbourhood parents’ babies, but had never gotten over the wonderful feelings she had while sitting. She thought it was just her maternal instinct kicking in early, as she had started sitting at age ten to earn some spending money, and to ‘teach her some responsibility’ as her father put it. What a joke! She hardly learned responsibility from doing a job she felt she should pay the parents for the pleasure of doing! There was nothing that thrilled her more than preparing bottles, cuddling the children, feeding them, and rocking them to sleep. She felt, from talking to her friends at school, that it was rather unusual to like changing diapers, though. Yes, Holly even enjoyed that, and it didn’t matter if they were wet, messy or both! Well, now it was twenty-six years later. Holly had finished college with a teaching certificate and a specialisation in early childhood education. Some investments she had made had paid off, so she didn’t really have to work, but just like when she was ten, felt so drawn to ‘her’ babies, that it wouldn’t have mattered if the school wanted her to pay them, she would still go to work. When she was in college, though, she had dated some, and the guys she had gravitated toward were all rather submissive. From one of them, she had found out about the Adult Baby scene. Being submissive herself, she decided to (secretly) investigate this fetish the guys had. She decided...

...Vs Disposable Diapers…..What’s Best? Introduction Diapers have been used by humans throughout history. But, the word diaper did not originally refer to its use. Instead, the term originally referred to a type of cloth with a pattern of small repeated geometric shapes. The first diapers were made of a special type of soft cloth cut in geometric shapes. The method of creating geometric shapes in cloth was called diapering, but it eventually gave the name of the cloth used in making diapers back in 1590s in England. Diaper is used on children who are not yet toilet trained to prevent bed-wetting and to keep babies’ skin clean and dry. While it was originally made of cloth material, several variations and improvements were made on the diaper resulting in the creation of disposable diaper. Unlike cloth diapers which can be washed and reused multiple times, disposable diapers are thrown away after use (Leverich). The boom of the disposable diaper industry suggests that it is more preferred by parents that its cloth counterpart. Parents choose what they think is best for their baby. Hence, while the use of disposable diaper has become a trend, it actually has a number of disadvantages that may want parents to reconsider using cloth diapers. Health and Comfort One of the main reasons of using diapers is to provide comfort for the baby by keeping their skin dry, healthy and free from rashes. Prolong wetness irritates the baby’s skin and cause rashes. Cloth diaper is made from...

Asia, Latin America, and Europe are among the main contributors of revenue aside from North America ("Kimberly-clark corporation-financial and," 2011).

...China is part of the Confucian Asia cluster with countries such as Japan, South Korea, and Singapore. One of the sociocultural factors that could hinder P&G in their global environment is language. The packaging and labeling of their products or promotional materials need to be properly translated to avoid confusion. Proper translation of promotional material should be done carefully so that the meaning is not lost or distorted (“ExportHelp”, n.d.). In China there are many provinces with different dialects, making translation even more difficult. According to “ExportHelp” (n.d.), “The material culture of a particular market will affect the nature and extent of demand for a product” (para 2). When P&G launched Pampers diapers in China, it...

...Jamison must prepare an analysis of where the company is now, what it must do to regain its financial health, and what actions should be taken. Your assignment is to help her answer the following questions. Provide clear explanations, not yes or no answers. a. Why are ratios useful? What three groups use ratio analysis and for what reasons? Ratios are useful because they help answer questions about a firm that would not be possible using only financial statements. Also, ratios are valuable especially when comparing two different companies, or benchmarking. Ratios standardize the comparison allowing for a more accurate assessment across companies. The three groups that mainly use ratio analysis are managers, creditors, and stock holders. Managers use ratio analysis to better understand where the current weaknesses and strengths are in order to create an effective plan to reach the overall goals. Creditors use ratio analysis to measure the financial stability of a company and its short-term solvency. A high current ratio is attractive to potential creditors. Shareholders are interested in the ratio analysis in order to determine the financial standing of a firm. However, they would be suspicious of a high current ratio and prefer that it is lower. A high current ratio might indicate to a shareholder that a company isn’t very profitable. b. Calculate the 2011 current and quick ratios based on the projected balance sheet and income statement data. What can you say...

...daily life of a single teenage mother. My experience with my sugar baby was so much fun, but I soon learned that it wouldn't be easy caring for a baby all day long every day. Day one began my journey, when I introduced Lauren Ashley to my friends and family. I fixed her curly brown hair up in a bow, and I put on her a newborn diaper. There were so many styles of diapers to choose from in the store; it was mind-boggling. She had the cutest little ears I had ever seen. It was very heavy carrying Lauren Ashley everywhere all over school, including my books! The only time I needed a babysitter was when I had football games, pep-rallies, cheer practice, and class, so basically all day. I saw right then that daycare would be a necessity. I hired my parents, my grandmother, and my friends to baby sit. Whenever me and the other cheerleaders went to practice, we created a daycare in Mrs. Dennis' classroom. If Lauren Ashley were a real baby, I would pay around $90.00 a week just for her to go to daycare, and that doesn't include any extra food or diapers I would need to send. I also couldn't imagine having to wake up every two hours all night long to feed, change diapers, and rock Lauren Ashley back to sleep. But, I know I would really love my baby, so I would take care of her the proper way. One day when I really have kids, and they are girls, I am going to name them Julia- Love and Lauren Ashley. If I have a boy, I am going to name him Colton Bradley. Hopefully, whomever I marry will think...

...Arelys Perez Instructor Nicole LaPointe Mkt-120-OL02 9 February 2014 P&G, Unilever, Panasonic: The $2-a-Day Initiative The method used by Procter & Gamble (P&G), Unilever, and Panasonic entering into foreign markets was direct investments. The fact that places like China and India have income disparity makes this market very challenging. In other words, in some areas there are rich whereas others are very poor. The direct invest method is the highest risk method, but it counts with the highest return. Panasonic’s used their lifestyle research to create and market specific products that are produce locally. Panasonic base their product design in demographic makeup. The key was understanding the needs and purchasing power of the region. Also, P& G and Unilever invest in a research team to do an extensive lifestyle research in these markets. Furthermore, P&G invested 70 million in these research and develop a facility in Beijing in order to research, source, and develop products for the region without relying on any other company’s location in the globe. The development of new product and lifestyle research for these demographics are very difficult and time consuming. It can be inferred that they used applied research because the companies make several changes in the existing products and design new products. These companies study carefully the economic factor of these regions. For example, the consumers’ income, the companies find out consumers’ income in these...

We drink too much; smoke too much; spend too recklessly; laugh too little; drive too fast; get too angry quickly; stay up too late; get up too tired; read too seldom; watch TV too much and pray too seldom.

...Narrative Essay When I found my wife was pregnant with our first child, I didn’t know if I was more excited than I was nervous. We had not planned on our first child so soon but mistakes can happen. Listening to the babies heart beat every month and finding out that we were expecting our first girl made me that more nervous. My mind raced with many thoughts, was I going to be a good father? How do I change a diaper? What happens if I can’t get the handle on raising a child? I will never forget the day that my wife went into labor with her. She woke me up at 3am with the contractions heavy, she labored at home for 7 more hours before we finally decided it was time to go into the hospital. I started to run around the house like a chicken with my head cut off, did I grab everything that she and that baby were going to need? I don’t know if I am going to handle watching my wife go through that pain, but at the same time I was feeling so excited that I was going to be a dad for the first time to a little girl who was going to need me I was ready to see if she looked like me or she looked like her mother. The emotions were overwhelming as we waited to get into labor and delivery and the time seemed to be going slower. The nurse called us back and got my wife hooked up to all the IV’s and wrapped the belt around her belly to monitor our babies’ heartbeat. My wife labored through the contractions and the time finally came when she was ready to push her out. They threw a gown and...

...“BABY GAMES” 2) Never say "Baby": (Materials- baby safety pins or another type of baby object you can place on a string for each woman at the party as well as string or yarn, enough for each woman to wear as a necklace). Have each woman place the necklace with the baby safety pins around her neck when she gets to the party. The rules for this baby shower game are given out at the beginning of the baby shower that whenever someone says the word "baby" during the shower, any woman who calls it out gets a pin from the other woman who stated the word. At the end of the baby shower, the woman with the most pins wins a prize. 42) Pregnant for a Day Co-Ed Game (Materials: Bag of medium balloons, a roll of yarn cut into approx. 20 inch pieces, and a chair for each male participant). Don't tell the object of the game up-front. Make a statement to the women in attendance-- "How many of us women wished that men could be pregnant just for one day?" This statement will leave the men full of suspicion as to what was about to unfold. Hand each man a balloon. For each man that doesn't have on shoes with shoe laces, tie the piece of yarn around each of his slip on shoes to mimic a shoestring. Do not form the bow. Only make a knot to help keep the yarn around the shoe. For those who do have on string up shoes, instruct them to untie their shoes. Instruct each man to blow up his balloon and tell each man when to stop filling it with air. The balloons should be filled with enough air that...

...decided to use shipment information rather than shipping based on retailer-generated orders, to determine the quantity of products to be shipped. This did reduce costs in inventory, and labor, but however, it ended up costing P&G more. Then after another test, they decided to expand on CRP innovation. Mass merchandisers generated interest from other retailers in the new process. CRP started with diapers but then expanded rapidly to other products. Not only did this reduce costs, but increased grocery sales as well. 2. How important are the new information technologies in P&G’s efforts? The new technologies were very important. Increased sales were an important benefit of the CRP program for P&G and its distributors. EDI alone is not beneficial, but when implemented in parallel with process and systems reengineering, it can become a powerful tool. EDI provided an essential platform for CRP operations. EDI was a good and easy first step. As mentioned in number one, these technologies sparked the interest of others, and all begin to join in. Increased sales and expansion, instead of just the diaper, were the outcome of these technologies. 3. To what extent has P&G changed its strategy to take advantage of ECR? CRP was an important element of the ECR vision. The ECR report ran in January 1993, suggested that 38% of the $30 billion in savings projected from implementing ECR in the grocery industry could be...
