Sherpa fire in Santa Barbara grows to 4,000 acres overnight, putting about 140 homes at risk and closing down major freeways according to federal officials. The fire started on Wednesday afternoon on coastal hills north of Santa Barbara. It had moved through overgrown hillsides and canyons that have not been burned in over 60 years because of the hot and dry weather and notorious “sundowner” winds. Sundowners, similar to Santa Ana winds, fuel many of the fires in the Santa Barbara County.

Recently watching a movie known as Food Inc i have seen the curtain lifted on what the big food Company 's don 't want us to see. If you watch the film their are some things that you would think are really disturbing from the way they treat the animals to the living conditions of the animals everything seems to just be outright wrong. In the movie the big company 's like to hire undocumented people to handle the chickens because they can pay the workers at an extremely low rate and they get a lot of labor out of it. One big thing that surprised me was the process some of these company 's use. One of the processes they used was pouring ammonia into the meat in order to kill bad bacteria such as e coli.

Exercise 3 Introduction Push and pull are strategic supply chain decisions can that are as a results of the impacts of operational, product and demand related variables (Wanker and Zinn, 2004). The push strategy moves products based on planning or forecasting whereas the pull strategy moves products as a results of real demand (Ballou, 1992). Thus in a push system, the products are pushed through the supply chain channel right from production to the retailer. The manufacturer builds its production based on historical ordering patterns and forecasting. Due to this it takes a longer time for this system to respond to changes in demand which results in overstocking, bottlenecks and bullwhip effect in the system.
