...INTRODUCTION Life today is so full of stress. Whether it is the urban lifestyle or rural, everyone has some form of stress. However, the rural population has some consolation of living in a green and lesser polluted environment. But the urban population has no such luck. They are, and specially the more aware and educated and the upwardly mobile executive is on the lookout for a health alternative with which he/ she would be better able to handle the daily doses of fixed stress for self and family, through usage of health products, yoga meditation, and perhaps textiles. The work environments are heavily packed with schedules, targets, meetings. The stress is ever increasing for not only people with normal health but worse for those people who are not at the best of health and have other health problems like asthma, acute stress disorders, high blood pressure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), acne or psoriasis. Stress Stress is the emotional and physical strain caused by our response to pressure from the outside world. Common stress reactions include tension, irritability, inability to concentrate, and a variety of physical symptoms that include headache and a fast heartbeat. Stress is simply a fact of nature - forces from the outside world affecting the individual. The individual responds to stress in ways that affect not only the self but environment. Hence, all living creatures are in a constant interchange with their surroundings (the ecosystem)...

Nature Biotechnology 25.1 (2007): 77-83. Academic Search Premier. Web. 5 Nov. 2013. This academic journal article talks about how many animals and what type of animals were used for cloning. It also describes about how much meat of cloned cattle entered the food supply before it was stated safe to eat. This academic journal focuses on the health of the cloned animals and about which cell transfer is better to use. This article is somewhat related to my topic because it still has some good facts about why the cloned meat is safe to eat. "For Consumers." Animal Cloning and Food Safety. US Food and Drug Administration, 15 Jan. 2008. Web. 05 Nov. 2013. On the FDA Website, it shows that the US Food and Drug administration concluded that clones of cattles, pigs, and goats are safe as food we eat every day. This website talks about how the cloned animals are healthy just like conventionally bred animals. It also states that the FDA won’t have to put food labels on the cloned meat because they did tests to prove that they are safe to eat. This website contains all facts and it’s not biased at all. This website is very relevant to my topic because it answers my question about cloned food being safe or not. Martin, Andrew. "F.D.A Says Cloned Animals Safe to Eat." Nytimes.com.

...The Critical evaluation of Strategic Human Resource Management approaches By Willem van Mourik Over the past decades more and more companies have formulated a Human Resource Management policy for their employees. Where some employers see their staff as important resources to achieve a competitive advantage, others see them as valued assets and a source of competitive advantage (Guest, 1999). The way personnel were managed can be seen as the most significant reason to gain a competitive advantage over others (Salaman, Storey and Billsberry, 2005). In the 19th century and large parts of the 20th century labour was seen as abundant and economists classified it as the main variable costs (Salaman, Storey and Billsberry, 2005). People where hired and fired very quickly and pay was give on a performance related basis. Organizations and their managers did not want to invest in their personnel and their skill development. According to Kirkaldy and Flanders (1965), the decades before SHRM existed managing labour were based on productivity bargaining (Kirkaldy and Flanders, 1965). This period can also be described as the traditional HRM era. This all changed in the 1980’s when several big organizations started to think of new concepts and aspirations to create a competitive advantage over their rivals. British Airways for example demanded their staff to take the ‘commitment approach” instead of just complying. The airline had to make a bald move due to the enormous competition in...
