[8 marks] The article as reported by Andrew Clark indicates that the main cause of the sugar price increase in the global commodity market occurred due to a simultaneous drop in the overall supply of sugar by the world’s largest sugar producer, Brazil, alongside a change in the supply and demand of the world’s largest consumer of sugar, India. In the case of Brazil, the world’s largest sugar producer, the drop in the supply of sugar occurred due to a period of heavy rain, as well as the decision to channel a large portion of sugarcane, an input into the production of sugar, into another industry, ethanol fuel production, hence significantly reducing the availability of this input to sugar production. Figure 1.1 below illustrates S1 as the original supply curve of sugar, and S2 as the new supply curve of sugar which has shifted to the Left. This shift to the left is caused by a decrease in sugarcane supply, an important input to sugar production. The effect is an increase in the Price of sugar due to a decrease in the quantity...

...COMPANY’S STRATEGIC INTENT WAS TO MAKE GREAT BREAD BROADLY AVAILABLE TO CONSUMERS ACROSS THE UNITED STATES. IT HAD OPENED 155 NEW COMPANY-OWNED AND FRANCHISED BAKERY-CAFES IN 2006, BRINGING ITS TOTAL TO 1,027 UNITS IN 36 STATES. PLANS WERE IN PLACE TO OPEN ANOTHER 170 TO180 CAFÉ LOCATIONS IN 2007 AND TO HAVE NEARLY 2,000 PANERA BREAD BAKERY-CAFÉS OPEN BY THE END OF 2010. MANAGEMENT WAS CONFIDENT THAT PANERA BREAD’S ATTRACTIVE MENU AND THE DINING AMBIANCE OF ITS BAKERY-CAFÉS PROVIDED SIGNIFICANT GROWTH OPPORTUNITY, DESPITE THE FIERCELY COMPETITIVE NATURE OF THE RESTAURANT INDUSTRY. Panera Bread competed with specialty food, casual dining and quick service restaurant retailers including national, regional and locally owned restaurants. Its closest competitors were restaurants in the so-called “fast casual” restaurant category. Fast casual restaurants filled the gap betweeen fast-food and casual, full table service dining. A fast casual restaurant provided quick-service dining (much like fast-food enterprises) but were distinguished by enticing menus, higher food quality, and more inviting dining environments; typical meal costs per guest were in the $7-$12 range. Some fast casual restaurants had limited table service and some were self-service (like fast-food establishments). Between January 1999 and December 2006, close to 850 additional Panera Bread bakery-cafés were opened, some company-owned and some franchised. Panera Bread reported sales of $829.0 million and net income of $58...

...University of Sunderland School of Computing and Technology File Management System in Linux CUI Interface A Project Dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the Regulations governing the award of the degree of BA in Computer Studies, University of Sunderland 2006 I. Abstract This dissertation details a project to design and produce a prototype Linux character environment file manipulation assisting application. The application is offering a friendly menu driven interface to handle the jobs that non-programmers keep finding cumbersome to master when it comes to working in a Unix/Linux interface, resulting in serious mistakes and much loss of productive time. The Linux File Management System is a basic program for every user at a Unix/Linux terminal. Advantages here include the fact that the support team does not have to be burdened with solving simple file based queries by the employees. The areas of Designing GUI interfaces in Linux and Windows versus Linux Security were researched and a prototype has been designed, developed and tested. An evaluation of the overall success of the project has been conducted and recommendations for future work are also given. Words II.

...an interesting alternative to the tradeoff between the required data confidentiality level and the flexibility of the cloud database structures at design time. We demonstrate the feasibility and performance of the proposed solution through a software prototype. Moreover, we propose an original cost model that is oriented to the evaluation of cloud database services in plain and encrypted instances and that takes into account the variability of cloud prices and tenant workloads during a medium-term period.
