Problem: Article: As part of your accounting process, you need to perform an annual stocktaking exercise to determine the value of your inventory. This means making a list, or inventory, of your stock, noting its location and recording its value. Tools such as barcodes or radiofrequency identification (RFID) tags help you to keep track of your stock. You can keep track manually by having staff physically count the stock or electronically with stock control software. This is an important part of inventory management, so you will need to develop a schedule for cycle counting. Many inventory management software systems make it easy to cycle count by category or subcategory, so make sure to prepare what you plan to count each time. Each time you perform a cycle count, you will need to: Close out any open inventory transactions. Restock all of your overstock, understock, or backstock. Account for all of the received purchase orders and inbound transfers in your system. Put away all items. Close and invoice all completed customer orders. Manual systems work best for small businesses with few stock items. You can choose from two methods for manual inventory control. The first is known as the two bin inventory control system. The second system involves creating a descriptive index and using inventory control cards. For the two bin system, determine a buying cycle for items and the amount purchased in each cycle. For example, offices may purchase office supplies weekly or monthly. To begin, purchase enough of the item to last two buying cycles. Divide the items into two bundles. When the first bundle is used up, it's time to reorder enough for one buying cycle of the item. Materials from the second bundle are used while the materials are being reordered. For the second system, create an index that lists all of the items in inventory and a file of cards for each item. On each card, record an item description. When an item is purchased or reordered, someone records the amount received, the unit price and other information such as an ordering description, a catalog number or the serial number. Inventory management software tracks inventory levels and records purchases, deliveries and sales of items in inventory. Factories can also use it to produce production-related documents such as work orders and bills or materials. It can perform an EOQ analysis of your inventory to help you keep optimum levels of inventory on hand. The advantages of using inventory management software include decreased carrying cost and ordering costs, increased efficiency of inventory management, better organization and security and information about trends in how materials are used. The disadvantages are that the software can be expensive, and it can be complex to use.
Summary: Perform regular stocktaking. Make sure to include cycle counting. Use a manual method. Use computer software.

Problem: Article: Know that the breast may become swollen and painful as milk is not released as frequently as it has been accustomed to. Relieve the pressure by expressing a small amount of milk from the breast. Do not remove too much as this will only make the body thinks it needs to produce more milk. The body needs to slowly reduce the amount of milk it thinks the baby needs. Massage your breasts in a gentle fashion to prevent milk ducts from becoming clogged and forming tender lumps in the breast. Massaging while in the shower is generally easier and painless, even if the breasts are swollen. Alternatively, try placing a few cabbage leaves on the breasts. Cabbage leaves are helpful with pain relief and the milk cessation process. You want to wear a firm-fitting bra that has no underwire sewn in. Ill-fitting bras may cause unnecessary discomfort to tender breasts. When your baby pleads with you to offer the breast, it can leave you feeling heartbroken, selfish and frustrated. Keep in mind that your baby will adjust to his new feeding schedule soon. Nursing has been a special bond between baby and mother that is now coming to an end. It is normal to have feelings of sadness associated with these endings, but these feelings will subside in time.
Summary: Be ready for mom's discomfort. Prevent milk ducts from being clogged. Apply cold compresses to the breasts if they become sore. Wear a bra that fits properly. Avoid feeling guilty for weaning your baby. Expect to feel saddened by the weaning process at times.

Problem: Article: Most forms of bacterial skin infection manifest as red, swollen, blotchy abrasions of one shape or another. Some are more likely to affect children, or likely to manifest on certain areas of the body. The most common forms of infection include: Cellulitis occurs most commonly on the legs or face. Cellulitis causes raised, painful, plaque-like rash. Impetigo occurs most commonly on the face. Impetigo most often afflicts children, and manifests as pus-filled bumps or pustules around the mouth or nose. Folliculitis occurs in and around hair follicles. Folliculitis can be a relatively minor series of small bumps, or worsen into large, painful pustules. Schedule an appointment with your doctor and allow them to inspect your infection. Describe your symptoms and how long the infection has lasted for. Most bacterial infections can be treated with regular application of a prescription medicated cream. For example, folliculitis can be treated with a medicated topical cream like clindamycin 1% or erythromycin 2%. Follow the directions provided on the prescription packaging. Most topical creams should be applied to the infection 2 or 3 times a day. Bacterial infections that won't clear up with medicated topical cream are typically treated with a prescribed oral antibacterial. In some cases, doctors may also prescribe penicillin (or administer penicillin shots) to treat a bacterial infection. For example, cellulitis is typically not treated with a topical cream. Your doctor will likely prescribe an oral antistaphylococcal antibiotic medication. Erysipelasa bacterial infection similar to cellulitisis often treated with penicillin. Side effects of penicillin can include joint pain, fever, or fast breathing. Contact your doctor if you experience more serious side effects, including severe stomach cramps or seizures.
Summary: Look for red, swollen, painful areas of skin. Ask your doctor about a topical cream. Ask your doctor about oral antibacterial medication.
