A product recall is a request to return a product after the discovery of safety issues or product defects that might endanger the consumer or put the maker/seller at risk of legal action.

~General steps to a Product Recall

A product recall usually involves the following steps, which may differ according to local laws:

•Maker or dealer notifies the authorities responsible of their intention to recall a product. In some cases the government can also request a recall of a product. Consumer hotlines or other communication channels are established. The scope of the recall, that is, which serial numbers or batch numbers etc. are recalled, is often specified.

•Product recall announcements are released on the respective government agency’s website (if applicable), as well as in paid notices in the metropolitan daily newspapers. In some circumstances, heightened publicity will also result in news television reports advising of the recall.

•When a consumer group learns of a recall it will also notify the public by various means.

•Typically, the consumer is advised to return the goods, regardless of condition, to the seller for a full refund or modification.

•Avenues for possible consumer compensation will vary depending on the specific laws governing consumer trade protection and the cause of recall.

HR SYSTEMS: LAY OFF

Workers with both blue and white collar, lose their jobs each year in mass layoffs. Companies have traditionally resorted to layoffs during economic slowdowns to keep from losing money. Increasingly, though, they do so in good economic times for purely strategic reasons.

~DEFINING LAY OFF~

- is the temporary suspension or permanent termination of employment of an employee or, more commonly, a group of employees (collective layoff)for business reasons, such as personnel management or downsizing an organization. (Wikipidea.com) -is the suspension or termination of employment (with or without notice) by the employer or management. Layoffs are not caused by any faultof the employees but by reasons such as lack of work, cash, or material. Permanent layoff is called redundancy. (businessdictionary.com)

~REASONS FOR BEING LAID OFF ~

•Cutting Costs

The most common reason for being laid off is the company needing to cut costs in some way. This need could stem from debts that have to be paid off or lack of profits, as a result of a drop in sales, or loss of a line of credit. However, there can be financial consequences from the layoff itself if not done properly, such as the cost of lawsuits or severance packages.

•Staff Reduction

Workers may be laid off if positions have to be cut due to over-staffing, outsourcing tasks or a change in roles. A desire for eliminating redundant tasks in the interest of efficiency might also cause a loss of positions. Cutting staff may or may not be related to cost-cutting, depending on other factors, such as new leadership and a change in direction for the company where positions are redefined.

•Relocation

Shutting down an original location, however, can have a huge impact on the surrounding community’s economy and morale. So if massive layoffs are done due to relocation, the company must show genuine concern for these workers and provide resources to help them adjust – or else risk damaging the company’s public reputation.

•Mergers or Buyouts

If a company is bought out by or merges with another company, the change could also cause a shift in leadership and corporate focus and direction. Different personnel often means new goals and business plans, which might require layoffs. In this case, objective criteria such as seniority, length of time with the company, or proven productivity numbers are likely to determine which workers are laid off first, since new personnel have a more distant vantage point by which to judge.

FINANCIAL SYSTEM: BANKRUPTCY

The infamous issue about the collapse of the pre-need industry sent the dreams of hundreds of thousands of people trying to graduate college crashing down. Several years ago, and seemingly out of nowhere, accusations came flying from all directions about pre-need companies. The company that I am referring to is the College Assurance Plan or CAP for short. It is a group of companies that the Filipino family can trust for an assured and better future – to hold on to as a true and reliable partner through the next millennium. It is also a growing and dynamic corporate family capable of serving each and every Filipino family’s pre-need and insurance requirements.

Bankruptcy - is a legal status of a person or other entity that cannot repay the debts it owes to creditors. In most jurisdictions, bankruptcy is imposed by a court order, often initiated by the debtor. -(wikipidea)

Three factors for downfall of CAP

•First, the deregulation in the tuition of the country’s private-run colleges and universities in 1992, which caused a spike in tuition and a surge of those applying for college education plans.

•Second, the Asian financial crisis in 1997, when so much investment was placed in real property in most parts of Asia, yet only a few managed to actually acquire such investments. In the case of CAP, Café explained that its real estate properties which were included in the trust fund dropped to more than half in value.

•Third, CAP suffered much that it had to stop selling education plans because of the new rules laid down by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in 2002. The enforcement of the so-called Actuarial Liability Reserve (ARL) valuation method by the SEC contributed to the collapse of CAP.

Deceptive advertising, also known as false advertising, refers to a manufacturer’s use of confusing, misleading, or blatantly untrue statements when promoting a product. Advertising law will protect consumers from deceptive advertising through the enforcement of specific legislation. -(consumer.laws.com)

False advertising is a growing trend among businesses in our society. This trend includes directly trying to deceive consumers into thinking that they are getting something great but in reality they are getting nothing. All age groups are targeted by false advertising, it is just a matter of how consumer savvy you are. The reason that many companies and businesses falsely inform consumers is purely for more business.

There are several problems that affect the world today, one of these is overpopulation. Overpopulation is a serious dilemma that is growing every year, every minute, and every second. According to Wikipedia, Overpopulation is a compared to the resources they need to survive, like water and essential nutrients. It can result from an increase in births (fertility rate), a decline in the mortality rate, an increase in immigration, or an unsustainable biome and depletion of resources. Food shortage, Water shortage, Global warming, and Air pollution are some of the effects of overpopulation. The more people there are, the more resources consumed and the more waste created. The rising in living standards causes people to consume more which creates more waste and raises life expectancy, which causes more people to live at the same time.

FBI Agent Collects Evidence from Exploded Car in Lebanon (AP Photo) Combating terrorism is the FBI’s top investigative priority. Working closely with a range of partners, we use our suite of investigative and intelligence capabilities to neutralize terrorist cells and operatives here in the U.S., to help dismantle extremist networks worldwide, and to cut off financing and other forms of support provided by terrorist sympathizers. Our overall goal, as we lead law enforcement and domestic intelligence efforts to defeat terrorism, is to eliminate the risk of terrorism, both international and domestic, to the homeland and to U.S. interests abroad.

TOPIC: GLOBAL WARMING! Goodmorning everyone! The photo above is the discussion we had in our Natural Syatem - Global Warming which is our first activity and that our Professor make us think of any variable associated with Global Warming and that I think of 'number of trees' as my variable. So, to cut the story short let us know more about Global warming, and I know most of you have already knowledge about it. Global warming is a gradual increase in the overall temperature of the earth's atmosphere generally attributed to the greenhouse effect caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons, and other pollutants. - (google.com) Causes of Global warming according to -(planetsave.com) 1.Carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel burning power plants - increasing addiction to electricity from coal burning power plants releases enormous amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. 2. Deforestation, especially tropical forests for wood, pulp, and farm land - the use of gorests for fuel both wood and charcoal. 3. Carbon dioxide emission from burning gasoline for transportation- increasing the use of fussil fuels for transportation and manufacturing. Effects of Global warming according to -(planetsave.com) 1. Massive crop failures. 2. More killer storms. 3. Rise in sea levels. To conclude about the prevention of global warming we should plant more trees in order to absorb dioxide and release oxygen, we must reduce the use of oil and gas and we must use more on renewable energy, we must also like to buy enery efficient products to help save enery and also to save money and lastly we must avoid using plastics and must use eco bags.

Topic: Health System - OBESITY

Have you ever tried to find out your BMI? It might be that you are underweight, normal, overweight or obese. So, now i will give you some informations about obesity.

First, let’s define what is obesity. Obesity is a medical condition in which excess body fat has accumulated to the extent that it may have a negative effect on health. (wikipedia.org)

Nowadays, the increasing rate of overweight children and adults is a worldwide health issue. In our discussion on obesity we used Body Mass Index (BMI) to know we’re we belong and whose BMI is between 25 to 29.9 is overweight and that obesity is classified if your BMI is 30 and above. Some causes of obesity are too much intake of fatty food, too much intake of carbonated drinks and lack of exercise. One of the main causes of obesity is poor diet, specifically, taking in more calories than needed to support an individuals daily activity level. It increases the risk of developing related conditions such as diabetes, cancer, and hypertension. Many individuals are affected by obesity and are not aware of it. In my own observation some people or individual who are obese have low self-esteem and is associated with feeling of loneliness and depression. In order for this to avoid or prevent we must exercise and practice self-control when it comes to eating. For me the key factor in preventing obesity is exercise because it helps in numerous ways like keeping the body fit and prevents related health problems caused by being obese.

Systems thinking

"Systems thinking in contrast, is the ability to understand the pieces as a whole and appreciate the consequences of actions on other parts of the system. Instead of just thinking how A causes B, systems thinking uses a circle to consider the ways in which B influences A. The systems thinking discipline has often been viewed as the foundation of a Learning Organization."

“A system can be defined as a collection of parts or factors that maintains its existence through interaction with each other in a specific order to function as a whole. ”
