Forecasting the number of jobs, the types of jobs, the frequency of jobs, labour, equipment and consumable requirements to accomplish the different types of services offered as well as consideration of rescheduling factors such as customer cancellations and weather conditions will allow Hazel to estimate which, how much and when resources will be required going into the future. Forecasting the cost of each service that she offers would be necessary for determination of expected pricing, and, when coupled with resource forecast, expected expenses, budget, revenues, income, and business cash flow can be further forecasted. Accurate forecasting is fundamental to the success of her new business.

... “Hazel Tells LaVerne” The poem “Hazel Tells LaVerne” by Katharyn Machan has to do with The Princess and the frog story. The poem is suggesting that most women stay in the bathroom mirror to make sure they are looking good at all times. Although the narrative is simply told, the woman is simply speaking to the frog about how beautiful she is. This poem is taken place at night in a Howard Johnson Hotel, which means this woman is on vacation and she is staying there for at least a week because she is cleaning her own bathroom. Hazel uses the word flushm down the toilet, which means she must be a girl that grew up in the country because she has a country accent. This all took place in 1976 and during this time women did a lot of cleaning and men did most of the outside work. In this day and time both men and women do the inside and outside work. Hazel also says for God to help her, which means she must be a Christian because she asks him to help her. The rest of the story is referring back to the story of the Princess and the Frog. This is where the grog pops up and asks her to kiss him so that he can be made into man. This symbolizes the fiction of the poem because a frog can’t talk but the author placed that in the poem so that we could see that if you can’t see the beauty within yourself than no one else can. The golden ball symbolizes the crystal ball that you rub to see what the Fairy God mother thought about how you looked in the mirror. In the end Hazel says that...

...Hazel Dogs are man’s best friend, and sometimes his only. My dog, Hazel was the best thing that ever happened to me. Even though she was an elderly dog, you could often find her acting like a young puppy. She was a beagle/pointer mix and had short, brown, grey, and white hair. If anyone were to be near her, she would lick them until they were drenched in slobber. She could listen and was the best friend anyone could ask for. Saying goodbye was one of the hardest things I’ve ever have to do. There were many amazing memories with Eloise. For example, when we first took her home, she got into the neighbor's backyard. Then, it took us the whole day to decide on another name for Eloise. After spending a lot of time cooped up in the laundry room talking, my family and I decided on Hazel. Hazel was the best. One winter, we took Hazel with us to cut down a Christmas tree. When we got out of the car and into the snow, she started running around all over the place. After a couple minutes, she was covered in snow and miserably cold. Then, several months later, we got chickens. It only took a couple months for her to figure out how to get inside, and once she did, she killed almost all of them, bringing their dead bodies back...

W.S Adams began to mine copper in 1888. Adams planned to make an open heat roaster near the confluence of Sugar Fork in Hazel Creek. The reason Adams planned to this because moving raw ore was not feasible. The closest railhead from the mine was 20 miles. The primary challenge for mining operations was moving the copper one place to another. This was such a challenge because they had to move these giant carts full of copper with horses on slick muddy paths. The solution was a heap roaster which burned down the copper to make it lighter and easier...

Group 5 trade-offs In what ways are Hazel's customer most likely to judge the quality of her lawn care service? Hazel's Case 4. The town is considering an ordinance that would prohibit putting grass clippings at the curb for pick up because local land fills cannot handle the volume. What options might hazel consider if the ordinance is passed? If this law would be passed it would be both a benefit and a loss for hazel. Name 2 advantages and drawbacks of each option Advantages: As we have researched grass clippings are said to be fertilizers. After mowing the lawn you do not need to sweep it any more leave it and it would breakdown on its own. It would be less effort for hazel and less cost for the fertilizer and trash bag. Plus hazel would also help the environment. Disadvantages: We are not sure if customers would like that grass clippings would be left on their backyards. 5.

...There are many differences between the movie and the book The Fault in our Stars. One of the main reasons for this is that they have to summarize or change some of the meaningless details of the book because there is not enough time in the movie for all of them. One difference from the book and the movie is the omission of two characters in the movie that appear in the book. In the book, Hazel has a really good friend from when she was still attending to the high school. Her name is Kaitlin. In the book, they talk about many things, about Augustus, and they even hang out in the mall and go shopping together. In the movie, there is no reference to this character. Hazel seems to have no friends at all in the beginning of the movie. Another omitted...

...love. One of the first things I noticed about the story is that it is told from the point of view of a child, a young girl named Hazel. In order to use this storytelling technique effectively, the author uses a series of seemingly unrelated and random incidents, similar to the way in which a child would speak, to illustrate Hazel's reaction to the news that her uncle is planning to marry. At the beginning of the story I found it hard to believe that by the end of the story Hazel will be reduced to tears. While admittedly easily frightened, Hazel seems to be quite self-assured and confident. She has no problem telling us that she is "the smartest kids P.S. 186 ever had in its whole lifetime" or that her grandfather believes that Baby Jason would "follow me into the fiery furnace if I say come on." Given this air of bravado, her emotional reaction to the news that her beloved uncle is marrying someone else is somewhat surprising. However, after taking time to remember that Hazel is a little girl, I can better understand why she reacts as she does. The main theme of "Gorilla, My Love," is of betryal. Specifically, Hazel comes to believe that adults, who should have children's best interests at heart, cannot in fact be trusted to tell the truth where children are concerned. In the middle section of the story, which comes first chronologically, Hazel has already learned that "Grownups figure they can treat you just anyhow. Which burns me up." She demands her money back from the...

...The Fault in Our Stars book report In this book, John Green takes us to into a world of a sixteen year old girl’s life battling cancer and falling in love despite her views on love. The main character’s name is Hazel, who is fighting thyroid cancer. Her cancer is terminal, meaning she will die at some point in time. She says her best friends are her parents and a book called Imperial Infliction, which she claims is almost as perfect as the Bible. Her parents believe she is depressed, so they send her to a Support Group where many other cancer patients gather. One boy in the support group’s name is Isaac, who has a rare cancer in his eyes; this causing him to have one real eye and one glass eye. One day at support group, Isaac brings a boy with him, whose name is Augustus. Augustus is the boy Hazel will fall in love with. During this support group session, Hazel can’t help to notice Augustus staring at her. Augustus states he had cancer but no longer has it, but his cancer took his leg with it. By the end of the session, Augustus is trying to woo Hazel into coming to his house to see the movie ‘V for Vendetta’ because he believes Hazel looks like Natalie Portman. Hazel agrees, being oddly interested in the boy, goes to his house to see the movie. Upon arriving to his house, he begins to ask her questions about herself—her story, her likes, her dislikes. He then asks her what her favorite book is. She is afraid to share this detail with him because she believes if she tells...
