...frozen pizza in Winnipeg, MB, pies in Montreal, QC and Cakes in Toronto, ON- with each representing 30%, 30% and 40% of the total revenue stream respectively. The buyers for this company include large institutional clients such domino’s pizza, etc. which have a significantly higher level of power whereas the seller of the products consists of several food producers which have a relatively low level of power. With the cost of setting up a plant of this scale being high, substitute products will also remain high in the market causing the overall profit margin to be low. With the company’s ongoing effort for continuous improvement Danielle Knowles (VP of operations) proposed to expand one of the operating plants in Winnipeg-which was based on the opportunity if the company expanded into the U.S. market. Statement The statement of the problem is how Danielle Knowles will prepare a capital project expenditure proposal to expand the company’s frozen pizza plant in Winnipeg; which is consistent and in line with the company’s capital allocation policy. The proposal should also satisfy the company’s continuous effort for improvement, identification of lost opportunities, satisfaction of HR and environmental impacts and provide sufficient ROI. Situational Analysis The strengths of the company are clearly visible through the company’s effective operations and reputable image in the industry. Being one of the top five in the industry, Laurentian Bakeries has established themselves...

...Unit 2 Task 2 P4: National initiative promotes and supports activities that are in the country. National initiatives have responsibilities, such as being able to represent the needs of the health and social care systems. These are important because it makes sure each individual is treated equally no matter what their race, gender, age, culture and any other statues there may be. The Human Right Act 1998 The human rights act came in to place in the UK in 2000. This act covers all of the human rights. It also makes sure that all individuals can take legal action against another individual that has been disrespectful against their human rights. Some of the human rights are: * Right to life * Right to freedom * Right to fair trail * Right to marry and start a family * Right to education The human rights act promotes anti-discriminatory practice by an individual to use their human rights against another individual. For example, an individual can take another individual to court that individual could be a doctor because they may have broken doctor- patient confidentiality and this is disrespecting an individual’s human rights. Mental Health Act 1983 The mental health act was put in place in the UK in 1983. This helps to secure the care of a mentally disordered individual. The main purpose of this act is to take action when it is necessary to allow the people that have a mental health difficulties get the support and help that they need. The mental health...

...Parmienter- Potato In France and in French cuisine, Parmentier is code for potatoes. Find a dish adorned with that name and it’s bound to feature potatoes as its main ingredient. Antoine Augustin Parmentier, after whom such dishes are named, is somewhat of a hero when it comes to the potato in France. He was the man who, back in the late 18th century, was chiefly responsible for popularising the consumption of potatoes in that country. These days in Paris you’ll find an avenue and a metro stop which also bear his name. What’s more, if you’re a potato head like me, Princesse-Asparagus The dish can be prepared up to this point in a dvance.

...Danielle Largent was livid her 6-year-old son got suspended for “distribution of a drug” in his kindergarten class for bringing a pill to school The boy’s mom thinks the Missouri elementary school went to far in punishing her child because of his age, according to Fox4kc. Zamari Hawkins was hit with a 10 day suspension over the sleeping pill that ended up in another students mouth. But, the mom feels the punishment given by Martin City Elementary School was too harsh because he’s only in kindergarten. Largent said: “I could understand if he was in like middle school or high school, where he really understand -- even fourth or fifth grade -- but he doesn’t know any better.” Zamari, who has ADHD and a mood disorder, was already suspended once this year for behavioral problems. His mom explained “He was having problems sitting still,” but he was doing better in school until he brought the pill in....

...Request For Permission To Pursue Research |Paychex, Inc | |Memo To: Frank Fiorille, Director CC: Michael Silsbee, Risk Management Supervisor: Doug Baxter, Credit and Banking Risk Manager From: Danielle Cole Date: 3/16/2010 Re: Request for research proposal Request for Approval I’d like your approval for me to continue with my research on the benefits of switching to a lockbox for our invoice payments. In this memo, you will find some of the highlighted benefits that I feel will help you make your decision for me to continue with this research. A lockbox is a P.O. Box that is set up with our bank that our customers will be able to send their payments too. The bank has a machine that will open, sort and process the checks. Once the day’s checks are processed, the bank will create a file and send it to us. The Information Technology will load the file into our Oracle system and once the nightly processes run, the file will post automatically into our billing system. In my initial research of the benefits of switching to a lockbox, I have found many advantages. Switching to a lockbox could mean a reduction in costs, less errors, it would be more time efficient, and we would have an easier look up process. Switching to a lockbox could save us money by possibly reducing our head count. We have the potential to reduce our head count by two people. We could also save money because we could cut out fuel reimbursement casts. If we had a lockbox, the people...

...tries to discourage and remove. In both Disney’s Cinderella and in Tennant’s Ever After, the male sex is ranked higher than females and has real power and social status. Kelley (2003) explains, “Males are seen as rescuers; females are more passive" (p. 651). The King and his son Prince Henry are the two highest ranking males in the film and they are shown to have ultimate power; the power over life and death. After Danielle hits Henry with apples, making him fall off the horse she thought he was stealing, she feared for her life because she assaulted royalty and the heir to the kingdom. In the same scene, in an attempt to quiet Danielle as to not cause a ruckus which may alert the royal guards, Prince Henry drops coins to the ground while sitting on horseback with the sun glowing behind him, almost god-like. This was an example of male hegemony because it showed “dominance and subordination in the field of relations structured by power” over females (Lull, p.3). The gold coins act as power and by this exchange, it transferred a sense of power to Danielle. With her new found power, she tries to use the gold coins...

...Name: Course: Date: Film Essay Antonia's Line (Marleen Gorris 1995) This is a 1995 film revolves around Antonia who is the main character. It is a “feminist fairy tale” film. Antonio returns to her place of birth, a Dutch village and establishes a matriarchal community (Kooijman, pg 19). This film covers several themes including sex, intimacy, lesbianism, friendship, and love. It is after World War II that Antonia, a widow and her daughter, Danielle decide to travel back to their home town. Antonia’s mother dies just after their arrival. Farmer Bas opts to offer a marriage request to Antonia, but she turns it down. However, she develops a romance relationship with him. On the other hand, Danielle becomes an artist and later decides to have a child. She does not accept to have a husband (Kooijman pg 19). Therefore, Antonia takes Danielle to the city so that they find someone who will serve her. This leads to the birth of Therese, and she emerges to be extremely intelligent. Danielle later starts a lesbian relationship with Therese’s teacher as she fell in love with her at first sight. Pitte, a young man rapes Therese. Pitte had also raped her mentally ill sister, Deedee. Antonia curses Pitte because of raping Therese. This eventually leads him to his death whereby his younger brother drowns him in the water tank (Kooijman pg 20). Therese fails to find a partner with intelligence that matches hers.

...Jenn Kerwell Assignment 1.2 Essay Danielle brought all four managerial functions noted in the textbook to Numi. One of the most important functions she brought was leadership. She motivates her employees, in a calm but assertive way, to perform at a higher level. She doesn’t ask them to do tasks that she wouldn’t do or hasn’t done herself. To me that speaks volumes because that shows respect for her employees and also it shows that she doesn’t think she’s better than them just because she is the boss. I believe her predecessor was more rigid in her approach and also not prepared for the companies fast growing pace. Danielle also showed great human skills, as did the former manager, but Danielle put forth a team environment whereas the former manager had the employees working individually. I believe that had a lot to do with helping the company be more efficient and swift. Another thing that Danielle is doing is keeping her employees aware of the changes in the company and why the change is needed and important. When employees feel that they really play a major role in the ultimate success of the company, I think they want to work harder and get things done the right way, and that’s why it’s easier to implement the new changes. Danielle embodies the total quality management approach by doing as I stated above. She focuses on employee involvement by keeping her employees in the loop with the changes needed and why they are important, and by doing that she helps the employees...

...We were engulfed in silence beside the protesters and their never ending chanting. Kenneth was right. There is always an easier way, but Danielle had a point too. After ten minutes, Kenneth spoke up and faced Danielle and me, “I prefer conscientious objector Danielle.” I broke out in a contagious laughter that brought all three of us to tears. “I swear you two will kill each other next time,” I said as I got off the curb and onto my feet. “No way! Me and Kenny boy go way back,” said Danielle while lightly punching Kenneth on the shoulder. “Yea Jack, you know us was better than that,” Kenneth stood up as well and dusted himself off. I sighed and took one last look at the rally, then turned my back towards them as I had done in my dorm. “Let's go to the eat-in down the street, i'm hungry after that dispute,” I said to the both of them. “All you did was sit and listen!” Danielle said exasperatedly. “That's all he does, eat, breath, and listen,” Kenneth rolled his eyes. “Do we really have to go to the eat-in? I swear the woman there stares at me and it gives me the creeps.” Danielle and I walked off laughing as Kenneth dragged his feet behind us. “Be glad you have an admirer!” I told Kenneth as we laughed our way to...

As he fell to his knees, his heart smashed like glass, he could not bear to see them walk away from him. “Don’t leave like this” he screamed from the bottom of his lungs.

He was so angry he was like a tsunami destroying everything in his path. David did not know how to cope with being sad so he became angry but then he didn’t know how to deal with anger so he would hurt someone or himself or destroy things.

...in Lake Forest, but moved their temple to Irvine on September 8th, 2012 due to their need for more space. They believe that there is only one god, and the different religions are just a vessel to get in touch with god, and therefore the place or the way to reach him doesn’t matter. In addition, they believe that “we are beings of light with the ability to love unconditionally, to live without fear, and to live in the ‘now.’”(Rev. Danielle) Rev. Danielle Marie Hewitt is the founder and Spiritual Director of the temple of light. Her work at the Temple of Light is focused to support humans in achieving profound spiritual insight. In other words, she believes that every human being has the ability to be in constant joy and peace without the help of anyone or anything. By using and modifying ancient Buddhist meditations techniques, Danielle and her staff were able to create an innovative routine that involves holistic healing and didgeridoo healing sounds in order to create a proper environment for healing and spiritual growth. Every Saturday Danielle and her community invite every human being, regardless of race, ethnicity, or religion, to join them in their temple for a spiritual journey, which according to her could change their lives forever. These one to two hour ceremonies consist on spiritual fulfilling readings about testimonies of important characters throughout history that have evidentiate the power of the spirit of god, which happens to be made of our own spirit...

...For the exclusive use of S. Philip, 2014. HEC027 Volume 9 Issue 3 September 2011 Visioning Information Technology at Cirque du Soleil Case prepared by Professors Anne-Marie CROTEAU,1 Suzanne RIVARD2 and Jean TALBOT3 Danielle Savoie, recently appointed Chief Information Officer (CIO) at Cirque du Soleil, was delighted. She had just met with the firm’s Executive Committee to present the very first information technology (IT) strategic plan in the history of Cirque. The plan presented a coherent and organized vision of IT use at Cirque. The Executive Committee had reacted very positively to her recommendations, although the members of the committee were not accustomed to discussing issues as technical as IT. At Cirque du Soleil, IT was deemed a significant but not always necessary cost. Indeed, it was sometimes perceived as a useless expense. Danielle Savoie’s main challenge now was to discover how IT could best serve Cirque. She was convinced that in order to meet this challenge, she had to develop an IT strategic vision that would be accepted by Cirque’s top management, deploy a highly professional IT group and enhance the credibility of IT among the leaders of the firm. Before being hired by Cirque du Soleil in April 2000, Danielle Savoie was the Vice-President of Strategic IT projects at Desjardins, a credit union and one of Quebec’s largest financial institutions. Obviously, the transition from a financial institution to one of the world’s most innovative...

...is important to solidify your future, you must also remain ethically and morally sound while doing so. Having read a scenario from a case study that proposed an ethical dilemma, I found that the rise for power and political gain in the workplace can test both an individual’s ethical judgment and strength. The issue here is that Michael is faced with an ethical dilemma regarding whether or not to participate in politics in order to capture a higher position within another sector of his organization. He is aware that his opponent Danielle has entered workplace politics at full speed, and is using every opportunity to gain leverage against Michael. The executive that will choose the best person for the position is Pierre, who is fair and diligent when choosing the appropriate candidate for the job. Michael however, has a real problem with trying to strategically place himself at the center of Pierre’s attention for the U.S. job. He has observed Danielle making great strides to win over Pierre by attracting him with her new ideas and the social alliances she is making within the company. He is truly reluctant about playing office politics, but feels that if he completely shies away from doing so his career may be in jeopardy. Michael’s opponent demonstrates legitimate political strategy and should be considered a...
