...Jessica Pulido Professor Aparicio English 1302 29 September 2015 Stuck In Another Life I’ve entered a time warp; I'm back in my seventh grade English class. I look around and I see old classmates. People I haven’t seen in years. My old best friend is on my left with her buck-toothed smile and a crooked ponytail. The white walls contain nothing but a solitary poster that reads, "Books are gateways to another life" in bright green letters drawn on a cartoon brain. I can never guess what it means. I walk in to that class after lunch every day, sit at my desk, and stare at it for an hour and a half, yet I can never relate to it in any way. My teacher, strict and on the heavy side, was the type of teacher you didn’t want to get on her bad side. If she even had sides. She was giving us a lecture on how to infer poems with the chalk screeching like nails on the board. Our eyes widened with horror while she talked to us like we were foreigners that didn’t understand the concept of the language. “Songs. Are. Poems.” Not only did I hate poems I hated analyzing them as well. Rock was never in my interest so I detested “Fully Alive” when Ms. Brock first played it for us to analyze. It was impossible to even concentrate on the first verse of the song due to the icicle forming on my nose. I guess since she was a heavy-set lady she got warm very easily and insisted on keeping the room temperature in the forties. The song itself was depressing but it only made it worse that I was having...

...George Chuvalo was born on September 12, 1937. He is a retired professional boxer who holds a five-time Canadian heavyweight championship, and a two-time world heavyweight title challenger. Chuvalo turned pro in 1956 at age 18 and knocked-out 4 men in one night to capture the Jack Dempsey Novice Heavyweight Tournament. Chuvalo was known as a big, rugged, bull necked fighter, he had very strong punching power and had a brutal body attack. In an article in 1965 Chuvalo was described as a crude, strong, and powerful. Rocky Marciano was quoted saying Chuvalo was a hundred years too late, he had to fight in the golden era of heavy weight boxing during the 1960’s and 1970’s. In a career which spanned three decades and 93 fights, Chuvalo fought 6 world heavyweight champions, and failed in two attempts to capture the World Heavyweight Title. He lost to heavy weights including Muhammad Ali. Although he lost to heavy weight champions he also defeated top defenders such as Yvon Durelle, Doug Jones, Jerry Quarry and Cleveland Williams George. He had fought for the world title twice, losing to Ernie Terrell and in his first fight with Muhammad Ali. In 93 professional fights, Chuvalo was never knocked off his feet. Chuvalo was a spirited boxer and was looked up to by many. Chuvalo was put into the Ontario Sports Hall of Fame in 1995 and was well deserving of it. The information I have shown above clearly states that George Chuvalo was significant in Canadian sport society and was well deserved...

...Warehouse by Ed Acker Steven Winter Associates, Inc. Last updated: 04-23-2008 Overview Warehouses, defined here, are facilities that provide a proper environment for the purpose of storing goods and materials that require protection from the elements. Warehouses must be designed to accommodate the loads of the materials to be stored, the associated handling equipment, the receiving and shipping operations and associated trucking, and the needs of the operating personnel. The design of the warehouse space should be planned to best accommodate business service requirements and the products to be stored/handled. The economics of modern commercial warehouses dictate that goods are processed in minimal turnaround time. The different types of warehouses include: * Heated and unheated general warehouses—provide space for bulk, rack, and bin storage, aisle space, receiving and shipping space, packing and crating space, and office and toilet space; * Refrigerated warehouses—preserve the quality of perishable goods and general supply materials that require refrigeration. Includes freeze and chill space, processing facilities, and mechanical areas; and * Controlled humidity (CH) warehouses—similar to general warehouses except that they are constructed with vapor barriers and contain humidity control equipment to maintain humidity at desired levels. Special-designed warehouses meeting strict requirements can also provide liquid storage (fuel and nonpropellants), flammable...

...C. Capacity planning. Capacity planning is critical for an organization because it can affect an organization’s decisions on inventory as well as forecasting and thereby influence customers’ satisfaction. What’s more, Capacity planning involves long-term commitment of resources so that once implemented it is difficult or impossible to make any changes considering the major costs. In the case of Wegmans Food Markets, the capacity means the upper limit on the load that this market can sell during a certain period. Since Wegmans Food Market prides itself on fresh produce, predicting the capacity inaccurately such as overestimating the capacity will lead to a high volume of inventory. Some food such as eggs, milk and meat cannot be stored for a long while. If the market fails to sell out all of the food it purchased, it will afford high costs, reducing the competitiveness of the market. On the other hand, if Wegmans Food Markets underestimates its capacity, stock out will happen. Customers cannot find out what they want and as a result, they will seek another supermarket. Losing existing customers or a low customer satisfaction, both of them will cause a bad influence on an organization. Reference: Textbook, Chapter 5 e. Inventory management Although inventory can meet anticipated customer demand and smooth production requirements, inventory is a liability to an organization considering the decrease in value as well as the costs of carrying inventories. Therefore, every...

...important for any business, because without enough stock, production and sales will grind to a halt. Stock control involves careful planning to ensure that the business has sufficient stock of the right quantity available at the right time. Internal control is the process designed to ensure reliable financial reporting, effective and efficient operations, and compliance with applicable laws and regulations. The internal control system provides for safeguarding of assets and proper recording of transactions. This research is done about the inventory internal control system in Burger King outlets located in Portmore. Companies should store inventory in secure spacious warehouses so that inventory is not stolen or damaged. Goods and resources of similar type should be kept in the same general area of the warehouse to minimize confusion and to ensure accurate counts. In an aid to control stock most companies use physical inventory counts which are a way of ensuring that a company's inventory management system is accurate and as a check to make sure goods are not being lost or stolen or cycle counts which is conducted periodically throughout an accounting period as a means to ensure that the information in its inventory management system is correct. A company's investment in inventory is usually a large one, and it may be comprised of a large number of merchandise items that can be readily stolen and resold. If the inventory contains mostly raw materials, then keeping track...

...Memorandum To: Cynthia Crowninsheild From: Date: 2/22/2014 Re: Production Analysis SHUZWORLD A. Distribution Pattern Shuzworld has three plants that ship units to three central warehouses. The company would like to know the lowest transportation cost monthly along with the best shipping plan to achieve the lowest cost. To analyze the cost we are using the transportation modeling tool. The optimal cost is $13,400 which would be the lowest monthly transportation costs which is shown below. Transportation modeling is the best tool to use as it finds the lowest optimal costs when shipping products from several plants to several different destinations. Our model shows three different plants of Shanghai, Shuzworld H, and Shuzworld F with three different warehouses. The individual unit costs to ship from each plant to each warehouse is entered in order to calculate the optimal cost. Also shown below is a shipping list whish details the exact amounts that should be shipped from each plant to each warehouse in order to achieve the optimal costs shown. This would be the best distribution pattern to use in order to achieve the optimal costs. The patterns show any demand constraints and also meets availability while minimizing total shipping costs. Looking at the shipping list chart the increased production from 1300 to 2800 units caused the supply to exceed the demand which is shown in the Dummy row ( dummy destination at no cost) that way the cost...
