1. Character Analysis Of Jimmy Tock In Life Expectancy By...
There are many professions in life to work in. There is business, construction, and entertainment just to name a few. Sometimes, a
profession reflects the person who is working in it. In the book Life Expectancy by Dean Koontz the main character, Jimmy Tock, is
a Baker. Jimmy Tock considers himself a lummox, not in the sense of being stupid but just being large. It is part of his character that
factors into his personality. Usually big, husky people are seen as being more aggressive or more arrogant due to their large
overpowering size. However, Jimmy Tock is far from this. He is like a kind giant who is patient and caring. And being a baker, his
view on life and certain situations are very different than most people. What I mean by this is that a baker's life is different than most
of ours. In this case, Jimmy is part of a family baking business, so he's not working in a large factory or large restaurant. He works at
their own bakery which is owned by his dad Rudy Tock. An average day for a baker, specifically Jimmy Tock, starts bright and early
at 4:00 A.M. so they can get to the bakery and start preparing the day's bakery products by 5am. Usually their first job of the day is to
sanitise the kitchen area and prepare the dough to make the baked goods like bread and buns. They then get their inventory in check
to make sure they are ready for the day. Once that's done, the Bakers can begin to mix the ingredients needed for the products.
Baking generally begins at 7am.

9.) Some of the advantages of my solutions are: the bakery will be able to maintain current operations with room for production
expansion, moving to one larger location would eliminate the need for two locations, the bakery can convert existing product in to
new retail market that will result in higher profit margins. Expansion will also allow the bakery to look consider and extension of
their product line.
10.) Some of the possible problems with the recommendations are: with expansion, will the bakery be able to ensure the consistent
quality that it has become known for? Will Amy be able to properly schedule more staff and afford to properly train new staff
members? Will the higher cost of a new location make it difficult to be able to still purchase only quality ingredients? Will a higher
cost still allow Amy to be able to offer above average salaries keeping turnover rate low? Amy Scherber should educate herself
completely on the financial aspect of the expansion, set sales and financial projections and make sure that the cost of the investment
will be worth the return she will get on it Also she needs to make sure that the baking techniques will stay in place, and need for
trained personnel cannot change. In doing so this will assure that she will not compromise the reputation she has made for herself –
the reputation that has made expansion necessary.

7. Sour Dough Diet
Many Americans love the delicious, yet fattening, carbohydrate recognized as bread. Usually, we all eat bread when it is stuffed with
meat and cheese, but most can't resist the taste of certain breads without the added accompaniments. Sour Dough bread, being a
popular favorite, is most commonly made by preparing your starter dough, feeding the starter dough, then finally kneading and
baking the loaves. The first step is making the starter dough. Before starting, make sure you have a large, non–metallic bowl for
mixing. Making sure your bowls are non–metallic ensures that the dough will not ruin. Mix together dry yeast, two cups of warm
water, and two cups of all purpose flour. Once you have mixed all of your ingredients, obtain the mix with a loose seal and leave the
starter dough in a warm place to ferment for four to eight days and check on it occasionally. Making sure the bread is well fermented
will improve the quality of the dough. Once the days have passed, the mixture is bubbly, and there is a pleasantly sour smell; the
starter dough is ready to be used. If the starter ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
After you take the start–er dough out of the refrigerator and leave it on the counter for at least an hour, you will mix dry ingredients
in a separate bowl. Mixing the dry ingredients separate will help the process stay organized. These dry ingredients include: sugar,
bread flour, and potato flakes. Once the ingredients are mingled together, contribute the mix with the existing starter dough. Now the
dough is fed and the mushy mess will need to sit and warm to room temperature. Once bubbles start to float to the top, you are finally
ready for your last step. After leaving the dough out for a day, combine six cups of bread flour, one cup of sugar, one tablespoon of
salt, a half cup of oil, one and a half cups of the starter dough, and a half cup of warm water until the mix is thick. This combination
will take you to the last

required to be a successful entrepreneur, and is now on the BRW Rich Women 2015 list. In an equal partnership with husband Roger,
her position as joint chief executive puts her on the list of a minority of business owned by women, especially in the 1980's when
Bakers Delight was opened. Though she has said that she has not faced many barriers to being a woman in business, apart from a few

motivation and without being a hard worker, all of which are traits required to be an entrepreneur. ... Show more content on

Bakers Delight has treats for all ages, ranging from fresh bread to finger buns to chocolate croissants, and works to create a family
environment.
When sales and profits weren't going as well, in 1988 Bakers Delight became a franchise. In 1988, Lesley and Roger owned 15
bakeries. They became a franchise after the influx of ones such as KFC and McDonalds. By 1991, had grown to 43 bakeries across
Victoria. In the next two years, Bakers Delight grew to 200 bakeries and ten years later, 600. Now, there are more than 700 bakeries
over three countries, and Bakers Delight is more successful than ever.
Any business, no matter what, is going to fail if the product is not of good quality. You wouldn't watch a poor quality movie, or eat a

As Augustus down walked the dusty old road he noticed something, most of the shops that lined the edges of the road were closed.
The food priced probably rose again he thought. Whenever the food price rose, numerous shops close down. Augustus considered
himself lucky that he didn't have to move.
As he walked inside the bakery, the smell of fresh baked bread made his stomach grumble with anticipation. When he walked into the
back of the bakery he saw his father cutting the dough into little squares and putting them in an oven.
"Hey dad!" He yelled across the deafening roar of the oven.

Auggie was sent there to earn some money for the family. A good thing about the factories is that they provide food and a living
space. The money that Augustus made was enough to support the family for about a week.
Augustus's job at the bakery was to get water, wood and buying supplies at the market. His father kneaded the dough and made loafs
of bread. His step–mother made the pastries and the cakes. His older step–sister Caroline helped Augustus with his work and put the
frosting on the cakes. The whole family worked well together like a well oiled machine.
Augustus always thought of his mother before he went to sleep. He always dreamed of her. He could see her lying in the bed talking
to her husband in hushed tones. But this was 8 years ago when Augustus was only 4, how did he remember it so vividly? He always

Flashbacks of the "Final Solution":
Figurative Imagery in "The Baker"
In "The Baker", Heather Cadsby's use of figurative imagery helps to convey the memories of the Holocaust that still haunt the baker.
The use of a metaphor compares the survivor's tattoos to veins in order to convey the permanence of the baker's memories of the
Holocaust. The speaker remarks, as they gaze upon the baker's arm, "It's that blue code on your arm/ [, those] four numbers I can't
decipher./ They are fixed veins" (lines 5–7). The poet uses this metaphor to compare the permanent tattoos on the baker's arm to veins
because both are blue and both will be with the baker as long as he lives. The four blue numbers on the baker's arm are actually his
identity code ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
His face is also "stamped with...the reek of screams" showing how painful his memories are and how they are embedded in him.
Furthermore, the reader is told that "none of [it] grows stale" meaning that the memories are too excruciating for the baker to forget.
Above all, Cadsby, with the use of a metaphor, compares the baker's friends that were killed in Auschwitz to "barely brown loaves".
The baker can be seen "remember[ing]/ other barely brown loaves" (10–11) as he bakes the bread. The brown loaves that the baker
recalls are actually his friends. Based on the year that the poem was written, the baker and his friends were in Auschwitz about 50
years prior to the persona encountering the baker. When ready and cooked, the bread becomes brown. If compared to a human's life,
the metaphor demonstrates that a person is at the prime of life when they are "browned". The baker remembers his friends that were
"barely brown" when they were killed in the furnaces of Auschwitz and had not yet experienced the joys that life brings. In "The
Baker", Heather Cadsby compares ovens in a bakery to the furnaces in Auschwitz, the tattoos on the baker's arm to veins and the
unbaked loaves in the baker's oven to his dead friends in order to give a much deeper understanding of just how much the baker
suffered.

Opportunities:
A good opportunities in order to increase sales and even create more awareness, could be to make it available to order a delivery of
some kinds of cakes, bread etc. for a event. It could be big events, or even small events such that aren't close to Lagkagehuset bakery.
Since it's becoming more and more a norm to order food, luxuries and other products online, Lagkagehuset could expand their
strategies by developing an online store on their webpage. This would be the same way of ordering a delivery as the opportunity as
above, just different, since its not for an special event but rather just for breakfast a morning where the consumer wouldn't want to go
outside and purchase the bread, cakes and so on themselves. This would make them even more differentiated on the market and could
appeal to more customers.

Technological factors
It's hard to determine what technological influences there is on Lagkagehuset, however if they were to establish a better
administrative system, in order to organize their regular and continuous deliveries, it could benefit them in the long run. A more

37. Schlumberger Logistics Report
INTL 1410 | March 172011 | From: Rene Sierra AcevedoTo: Prof. David Pastirick | Written Report |
Niagara College
INTRODUCTION
This logistic report analyzes Schlumberger Ltd. performance as one of the leading oilfield services provider. This report also outlines
Schlumberger main activities, financial status, operations and processes. It will also describe why this is an important company for a
logistic class.
SUMMARY
The supply chain in oil and gas consists of operators (oil companies), main contractors, subcontractors and suppliers. In this order,
while governments and companies investigate alternative sources, Oil and Gas companies are focused in finding new ways to
develop and deploy technology to improve ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Schlumberger has added value to its operations by offering availability in places where the oil services are needed. They also are
moving some of their sustainable R&D, sourcing, manufacturing, testing, and assembly to countries with possibly low cost of
operations which coincidentally may also be where the market for their products & services are experiencing growth. Schlumberger's
closest competitors are Halliburton and Baker Hughes.
I remembered a former Colombian senator once said if these three companies vanished overnight, the world's energy system would
start to break down in a couple of days. His point of view was settled to clarify how important these companies have become in the
oil and gas sector and how strong they are in the oil chain.
I also am absolutely convinced how well and fascinating it would be for someone to join one of these companies as a team member.
They represent the kind of companies that also offer a permanent learning process in a friendly environment. Schlumberger is also
noted in the petroleum industry for its decentralized management style and the autonomy the company extended to its field engineers.
Weaknesses
Schlumberger has spread its service operations in a variety of ways. However, the company could be falling in its core company
activity. Some critics are actually focused in the operation the company has in the geo seismic area. To attend this sector in 2003 the

39. The Risk And Uncertainty Of Halliburton
The Risk and Uncertainty of Halliburton When thinking of the energy industry, the great Halliburton always will come to mind.
According to their company history, Halliburton began in 1919 in Oklahoma as a small company mixing different elements for oil
drilling ("History of Halliburton," n.d., para. 1 and 2). The company has since grown into a corporate giant, with revenues exceeding
18 billion dollars by the end of the third quarter in 2015 (Halliburton Company, p. 1), and currently runs two sectors: "the
Completion and Production segment and the Drilling and Evaluation segment" (Halliburton Company, p. 8). While known as an
energy industry giant, Halliburton is also known for war time profiteering. As reported by Young, Halliburton ... Show more content

13). Halliburton announced in 2014 a consolidation with Baker Hughes, another competitor in their industry (Halliburton And Baker
Hughes Reach Agreement to Combine in Stock and Cash Transaction Valued at $34.6 Billion. p. 1). With this consolidation,
Halliburton will acquire all assets of Baker Hughes, along with the future subsidiary's debts. With the uncertainty of the lifetime of
the oil industry, and currently facing a significant loss, Halliburton is taking a serious risk facing such a large amount of debt and
acquiring Baker Hughes.
Discussion
Background Bloomberg reports that Halliburton controls 6.40% of the market share for the "oil and gas services" industry while it's
two biggest competitors, Schlumberger and Baker Hughes, control 10.00% and 4.90% respectively ("Bloomberg Industry Market
Leaders"). It is evident that the anticipated consolidation is the two companies' attempt to dethrone Schlumberger as the company
with the largest market share, or at the very least, gain a large portion of the market. Baker Hughes, a company serving the same
customer base as Halliburton, has accrued in 2015 revenues nearing $8.56 billion, expenses of $9.48 billion, facing future liabilities
of over $3.9 billion, and a total net loss nearing $800 million ("Baker Hughes Incorporated", p. 2, 4). Trefis Team, a Forbes
contributor, reports that this consolidation will cost Halliburton $35 billion of stock and cash dividends and if the consolidation does

"In the history of art there are periods when bread seems so beautiful that it nearly gets into museums." (Janet Flanner, Paris Was
Yesterday, 1925–1939). Bread comes in a myriad of forms, flavors, shapes, and sizes. To millions of people every day it is a source of
nutrients, a way of filling their stomachs with something their body needs. To others, it is a form of art, a chef or baker's life and soul
poured into their creation. Whichever way you see it, bread is a part of our lives, as well as our history.

47. Baker Hughes: Foreign Corrupt Practices Act Study Questions
1. Describe the economic and social impact of bribes and other similar payments in emerging economics. In emerging economies,
bribes and other similar payments have a negative impact. Such corruption, although appearing to provide short term growth, will not
turn into long term growth. Corruption reduces the efficiencies of the operations of the market economy and a loss of direct foreign
investment in countries where participation in corruption is how business is done. Politicians and government officials worldwide
receive bribes valued between $20 billion and $40 billion annually. Companies that participate in bribing can face reputational
damage and loss of investors. According to the World Bank, 0.5% of GDP is lost due to ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Indirectly being involved is still a foreign corrupt practice.
6. Evaluate whether the changes in Exhibits 4 and 5 are likely to stop future foreign corrupt practices at Baker Hughes.
Exhibits 4 and 5 are likely to help stop future foreign corrupt practices. To have a set of rules and expectations such as in Exhibit 4,
the due diligence procedures, helps by leaving a paper trail. It is important to document the process of hiring a new agent, to make
sure that you are complying with the FCPA. Exhibit 5 is also helpful because it is a reference point for anyone who may not be
familiar with corruption in international business. To have a set of red flags that can be referenced, it can reduce employees just
looking the other way and claiming they were not aware of the potential for corruption during a business deal. While neither of these
will stop every occurrence of corrupt practices, having them in place will cause employees to think twice about engaging in such
practices. If there is a standard for everyone to follow, it will also be easier to catch those that still decide to intentionally engage in
foreign corrupt practices because they will be unable to say they did not know what was happening.

is the bribery in the form of payments demanded by the government or ministry officials in exchange for a favor (granting a service,
awarding a business).Corruption affects all the businesses that interfere with the government, but studies have shown that certain
industries are more exposed to it. These industries are construction, airline manufacturing, power plants, and oil and gas production.

Overall new procedures put in place were beneficial for Baker Hughes because they improved compliance and they also improved
the company's business operations. 5. Discuss whether the payments outlined on pages 12 and 13 are foreign corrupt practices.
Yes, I think that the payments outlined on pages 12 and 13 should be considered corrupt practices because of the way they were
registered in the company's books –it was in compliance with the FCPA because of the anti–bribery provision and the books and
records provision.
6. Evaluate whether the changes in Exhibits 4 and 5 are likely to stop future foreign corrupt practices at Baker Hughes.
All the changes in Exhibits 4 and 5 are related to the agents that Baker Hughes will use in the future. The changes in Exhibits 4 and 5
are likely to stop future corrupt practices at Baker Hughes because they will provide the company with more information about the
agents that they are about to hire (information that they didn't have before). The information is referring to agents' background,
competence, reputation, their intentions, experience, skills, and their integrity and willingness to comply with FCPA. So Baker
Hughes will be able to prevent and eliminate any acts of corruptions.

Not only does Coelho use symbolism and geography to further prove his theme, he uses his characters to manifest his notion.
Santiago is the ideal individual who listens to omens in order to understand the language of the soul of the world and achieve his
personal legend. Santiago is both a dreamer and seeker that illustrates how an indiviudal should pursure his dreams no matter what.
On the other hand, the characters he encounters represent the opposite and ultimately encourage him to continue his journey. To
demonstrate, Santiago encounters the King of Salem when having doubts of his personal legend. The King of Salem reveals the story
of the baker and how he gave up his desire to travel in order to have a stable life. As found in The ... Show more content on

As illustrated in The Alchemist, "At the point in their lives, everything is clear and everything is possible. They are not afraid to
dream, and to yearn for everything they would like to see happen to them in their lives. But as time passes, a mysterious force begins
to convince them that it will be impossible..." ( Coelho 24.) Here, the reader can relate, as their parents encouraged them to follow
their dreams when they were younger no matter the extent. But as time passes, the individual comes to the reality that their dreams
are impossible and can not happen. However, not all people give up on their dreams as the merchant did. Coelho's theme becomes
problematic when fear, injury or expectation interferes with someones personal legend. As fear interefered with the merchants
dreams, what other people thought interfered with the bakers, or the theives interfered with Santiago's journey, outside influences
become problematic in pursuing your dreams. Coelho's belief also becomes problematic when an individual has to leave behind their
loved ones. Coelho believes no matter who,what,where or when, an individual must not let anything or anyone interfere with their
pursuit as Santiago left behind his family to travel or his love Fatima to travel to the pyramids. As Trent Shelton states, "The right

size of a trencher was a ""half a foot long, by four fingers, by four fingers." these pretty small loaves would be turned over and over
repeatedly in the oven until hard. When dealing with a trencher, staleness was a benefit , therefore, in order to have the best dinner

offer a kids menu, so Panera Bread caters to the entire family. Panera Bread Company went as far as starting a catering program to
extend its market reach (Thompson, Strickland, & Gamble, 2008, pC–92). "Everyone enjoys choices, especially when they're fresh,
