...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 Scoop on Dog Poop Shameeka S. Hardison Grantham University The Scoop on Dog Poop One of the most disrespectful and unsanitary thing a dog owner can do is; allow their dog to urinate or defecate in someone else yard. It is very irritating to look out the window and see someone’s lawn being used as a dumping ground for feces or urine by their neighbor’s dog. This is an issue many people across the world are experiencing in their neighborhoods and fixing the problem is a must for many reasons. It is a matter of being respectful of one’s property, by not allowing your dog to conduct their business on someone else’s lawn. Owning any kind of pet comes with responsibility and liability. Picking up their feces and disposing of it properly is a must! According to the American Pet Products Manufacturers Association, 43.5 million households in the United States own a dog (Roberts, 2007). Imagine that out of all these households, only half of them cleaned up after their dogs. Some people are just plain rude or too lazy to pick up after their dogs. Most dogs will start to sniff around before they began to urinate or defecate on the lawn, so politely yank them by the collar and they will move on. Carrying around a doggie poop bag or a simple Wal-Mart bag is a must when walking dogs because exercise stimulates their need to go. Yes, it means picking...

...Although the term poop pills may sound disgusting, it may just be a life changing antibiotic. Thousands of Americans get Clostridium difficile (C-diff) each year and 14,000 of them die from C-diff. But, there is an antibiotic that’s known to destroy the C-diff and also harm the body as well. Though studies show that a fecal transplant can restore the bacteria and prevent infections to form in your body. Doctors have gave the transplant a try, but they have not really been successful. The stool that is transplanted usually comes from relatives, and doctors extract the bacteria from the poop and insert it into gel capsules. Even though this pill seems gross, the pill does not affect the smell or health of your body. This transplant does require...

...A thorough (and stinky) study of poop from large, plant-eating mammals has revealed that microscopic organisms inside the animals' guts have evolved at the same rate as the animals themselves. By sifting through the excrement of cows, horses, elephants, goats, sheep and other herbivorous mammals, researchers were able to analyze and compare the animals' gut ciliates - one-celled microorganisms that are especially important to the digestion process. A five-year study chronicling the excrement and gut fluids of many plant-eating mammals appears in the European Journal of Protistology, where a team of evolutionary biologists, microbiologists and computer scientists from Radboud University Nijmegen in the Netherlands reveal details of a wide range of animal droppings. The researchers make the distinction between herbivores known as "foregut fermenters" and "hindgut fermenters," the former of which digests food in the front part of its gut (the rumen) and the latter digests in the posterior part of the gut, the appendix and large intestine. Ruminant animals such as cows, goats and sheep are foregut fermenters, while horses, elephants and zebras, for example, are hindgut fermenters. The poop used in this study came from around the world, notably from goats, deer and sheep from around Europe, an Asian elephant, and zebras and an elephant from Africa. The researchers preformed a genetic analysis of the ciliates present in the animals' excrement. "Our most important discovery is...

Leaving your pee and poop in the toilet don’t you know how to flush? The toilet paper not the right way you have to pull it from the top not the bottom and if you have no more toilet paper put a new roll on for the next person. When you use all the hot water you are taking too hot of a shower to to long so if you have it really hot turn it down so that the next person has some hot water to use when he or she is taking a shower. And if you are taking a really long shower put a egg timer and do like 5 min. so that way you still have water that is hot to use. Boys have a problem of lifting the toilet seat and so they some how miss the big hole that is there for them to pee in. if peeing is not fun put frout loops in there so you have something to acme at or just wipe your pee of the seat with a wipe.

...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...

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.

...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 events, natural disasters, or personnel misfortunes. Transition here. Dividing an organization into teams helps reduce the span of control and delegate the duties of the overall tasks to specialized teams. The team members will have a sense of accomplishment when they see how their piece of the project leads to overall organizational success. No further...

...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...

...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...

...That's chapter 12, don't give yourself away now.” (Stockett page 497). This quote doesn’t really mean much unless you know the background. Skeeter’s plan was to put that Hilly ate Minny’s poop in pie, in her book. They did this because Hilly didn’t want anyone to know that she did that. If people suspected the book to be about Jackson, they would know Hilly was the one who ate poop. They planned on Hilly to tell people it wasn’t about Jackson because everyone listened to her. This a very big risk for Skeeter to put this in her book. What happens if Hilly doesn’t say anything? Or if she is too mad at Minny to even care that everyone knew she ate poop? These were risks Skeeter was willing to take. If Hilly didn’t convince people it wasn’t Jackson, people probably would have gone as far as killing every single maid and probably Skeeter herself. She risked lives. To me this makes Skeeter a huge risk taker. Skeeter is someone who is willing to risk her life and others for something that she strongly believes...

...Baljot hayward enlgish 921 potty The dog is a loving companion to a man. He is happy to go everywhere with his master. He shows his affection for his master by wagging his tail and licking his hand or face. Dogs were not always like this. Overtime humans have domesticated dogs into making them loving pets. At one point dogs were able to pee wherever they want, eat whatever they want, and do whatever they want. Now we provide our dogs boundaries and train them to become our best friends. Eating and playing comes naturally to dogs just as it does to humans when they are born. Just like human babies one thing that does not come naturally to dogs is being potty trained. Adding a furry litte friend to the family sounds like a lot of fun and many would not think of it as such a difficult task to do since all dogs do is eat and play which obviously does not need to be taught to then but the hard part comes when it is time for them to relieve themselves and they choose do to this task on your living room floors, bedrooms, and bathrooms. For most dog owners who have little to no dog experience potty training can be a very difficult task to do but I am here to make this job a tad bit easier for you and your furry friend. Potty training your dog or puppy requires far more than a few stacks of old newspapers, it calls for vigilance, patience, plenty of commitment and above all, consistency. The first step to potty training is introducing the spot you would like your dog to go potty...

...Shyra Ponder CCJ 1600- Nealy Assignment 1 27 September 2013 Deviant Behavior Deviant behavior is defined as behavior that violates existing and generally accepted and social norms. This type of behavior involves actions which are not in agreeing to social expectations. It can range from anything as simple as someone picking their nose in public, spitting on the floor, or throwing garbage on the streets. It can also involve illegal actions, such as, stealing money from your job, violating a traffic law, or rape, just to name a few. Although, there is a definition for deviant behavior, it can be very conflicting when trying to determine which “acts” are considered either deviant or normal. And the reason why deviant behavior is such a conflicting definition, is because everyone’s perception of what’s “normal” is not the same. To 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:...
