Don’t infants have natural immunity?
Babies get some temporary immunity (protection) from mom during the last few weeks of pregnancybut only for the diseases mom is immune to. Thanks to vaccines, most diseases prevented by vaccines are no longer common in this country. Even the few cases we have in the U.S. could very quickly become tens or hundreds of thousands of cases if we stopped vaccinating.The current statute applies only to CCS-approved acute care hospitals that have licensed perinatal services or a CCS-approved neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).The purpose of weaning is not to remove milk from the diet.

In the 1990s, about two thirds of infants reported with pertussis were hospitalized. Infants are more likely to have pneumonia or convulsions. Infants also are at greatest risk of fatal pertussis. In recent years, 15 to 21 infant deaths from pertussis are reported to CDC annually.In the U.S., we have the vaccine called DTaP (diphtheria and tetanus toxoids and acellular pertussis vaccine).

I have been an associate professor of English for years. The community college’s learning center was my home ground. Here was where education in all disciplines took place. There were classes with computer-aided instructions, auxiliary and other classes. One special feature involved students who came from varied income groups (these could not afford an education); those who had ethnic origins; those who were gifted but too poor; or had learning disabilities. Such students were covered under a Government-funded program. These students received service and support in the form of good educators, as well as stipends and scholarships. There were some mentally challenged students too. Naturally, we had to work hard to prepare some events for every season, have celebrations and contests, award trophies and prizes.

Of course, we were an enthusiastic lot–fully interested in the success of the students. We also loved ceremonies that rewarded diligence, progress in academics and great attitudes of social service. We were allowed to decide who should receive the awards and order the trophies. Not only the students, but the sponsors and tutors were also rewarded for their services. There were three of us workers as well as friends who would order catalogues depicting trophies and awards. To us, these books were no less than the Enquirer or Cosmo! Though we always had an eye on the budget, we did not scrimp on the awards and trophies themselves. A lot of creative thought was spent in choosing unusual ones along with pragmatic ones.

Now, if the recipient is someone well known to you, it is easy to choose the trophy. His/Her personality, likes and dislikes, his/her style–will decide what must be ordered for him/her. To take a case in point, there was a quiet-natured gentleman who was retiring from service. This man was extremely devoted to his work and very organized. So we ordered a plaque made of wood and gold and had our appreciative words engraved on it.

The September 11 bombing brought a crunch time and many co-workers decided to retire from service. What they got were stipends for each year of service that they had put in. They were now unemployed, but those who got to stay in their places and needed the jobs were overjoyed. Even then, we were in charge of the awards ceremony. There were the usual retirement parties with the paraphernalia of speeches, food, itineraries, and so on. But the trophies we ordered were special. The learning center Trio program were known as STAARS (student academic and retention services). So we hunted around and finally got golden figures holding up giant stars. The recipients felt like Academy Award winners! This sure beat the time-honored way of recognizing people, and the recipients would have happy memories for years to come.

Today there are many car rental companies but in its infancy, rental car companies were a luxury and only a few companies existed. Agencies were located in large metropolitan cities, not at airports like they are today and there were few companies that branched out internationally. This changed with Avis Rent A Car.

Avis Rent A Car was one of the first rental car agencies and it started with an aggressive business plan which proved successful. Avis has maintained its status as an industry leader and, in many ways, has kept an edge on the competition. Here is a short history of Avis and how they revolutionized the car rental industry.

Small Beginnings

Warren Avis opened Avis Rent A Car in Detroit, Michigan at the Willow Run Airport in 1946. With less than $100,000 he opened the first car rental business located at an airport; a risky move with a considerable amount of money at the time. He wanted to grow fast while providing excellent customer service. Warren Avis’ marketing plan was successful and he soon opened a rental office at the Miami Airport. He decided to expand his business internationally and soon started selling Avis franchises in Canada, Mexico and Europe. His company was making money and expanding rapidly.

Avis Sells

Warren Avis had created a successful business based on a revolutionary idea. He sold his business in 1954 to a Boston businessman for $8 million; a staggering profit in less than 10 years. The Avis name had established itself in the US and worldwide and become a respected company. Therefore, the Avis name remained and even after changing hands many times, continues on even today.

Growing Fast

Avis Rent A Car opened up its European headquarters in Britain in 1960. In just a short time it had become an international company owned by a large holding company. The holding company soon branched out and developed additional business interests.

In 1963 Avis adopted the slogan “We Try Harder” and developed an ad campaign around it. It proved to be such a successful slogan that it continues on today and has become one of the most recognized in the industry.

Avis Today

Now Avis Rent A Car is one of the most widely known and respected rental agencies in the world. From the meager beginnings of a rental agency at one airport to a multi-million dollar company, Avis has proved that its strategy has worked and continues to do so.

Next time you rent a car, rent with one of the most recognized and successful rental companies. To book a car, call their reservation department or book online. You’ll see why they have been so successful and why customers keep coming back.
