Joyce Lodge opened her first café in 1989. In 2010, Joyce Lodge retired. Her daughter Patricia gave up her job as a management consultant to become the chief executive officer of the Lodge chain. At this point, the business remained reasonably successful but experienced growing competition in the sector. Indeed, the business faced an increasingly threatening external environment. The economy moved into recession. The shareholders of the business were becoming increasingly nervous and began to put pressure on Patricia to respond actively to these challenges. There are staff problems across the chain. High turnover, particularly among serving staff and poor performance.

- "about the claims : -

making a claim is just a fancy way of saying that you're stating your main point.' claims are not just opinions. a claim tells what you think is true about a topic based on your knowledge .

about the country claims : -

a counterclaim is just the opposite of a claim. counterclaims are also provable and supportable by reasons and evidence. not just, 'because i said so.' when you're planning an argument, you need to know what the counterclaim might be so that you can make sure that you disprove it with your reasons and evidence your research." - (catherineroberts)

waves come crashing to grey sullen shores.

powerful and strong, it breathes and roars.

cascading and caressing each grain of sand,

a warm embrace between sea and land.

high above, a seagull soars high.

wings of purity it spreads to fly.

battling high against darkened cloud,

in a wind that blows fiercely, flying graceful and proud.

beneath, the sand is soft and warm.

sculpted by nature, it's weathered the storm.

a passionate battle between calmness and rage,

a new chapter's beginning; don't turn the last page.

i listen again to the whispering waves,

music of nature calming and brave.

its power unknown, its stillness untamed,

mysterious and magical, a treasure earth claims.
