For this assignment, you will need to complete the steps below.

First, please select one of the hotel companies below, and research the cost-efficiency strategies and methods for maintaining facilities used by that company.

Marriott International

Wyndham Hotel Group

Starwood Hotels and Resorts

Intercontinental Hotels Group

Best Western International

Hilton Worldwide

As you search, you will notice that each hotel has a program in place, but each program is categorized differently (e.g., green program, sustainability, corporate responsibility).

After choosing a company, search the Internet for news about the hotel company’s environmental/sustainability program. You may find that the hotel has a blog, and trade publications may provide helpful information as well. Also, you may consider researching the hotel’s corporate website rather than researching the website where reservations can be made. To do this, type the name of your chosen company in a search engine, and follow the hotel’s name with “corporate” (e.g., Marriott corporate).

Utilize your resources to address the information below:

Briefly summarize what the hotel is doing in the area of sustainability and corporate responsibility.

Summarize what the company is doing to maintain facilities and to be cost-effective.

Based on your research, describe three areas where the hotel company can improve.

Your assignment should be at least one page in length, not counting your title page and reference page. A minimum of two outside sources must be used. Your paper should be formatted using APA style.

Using MAP-IT to Help Build a Healthy Community

MAP-IT means: Mobilize, Assess, Plan, Implement, and Track

To begin to achieve the goal of improving health, a community must develop a strategy. That strategy, to be successful, must be supported by many individuals who are working together.

In much the same way you might map out a trip to a new place, you can use the MAP-IT technique to “map out” the path toward the change you want to see in your community.

For the Session Long Project (SLP) of this course, you will follow one of the following families:

A non-English speaking immigrant family. The parents, (a 35-year-old father and 31-year-old mother) have a 1-year-old son. They (the parents) are obese, smokers, alcoholics, and have only a high school education. Due to their weight, the mother has diabetes and high blood pressure, and the father has high blood pressure and kidney disease. The parents are a low-income family with no insurance. You will guide the parents on how to meet the minimum state health requirements for both the child and themselves (i.e., vaccinations, good nutrition, a safe and healthy home environment, etc.).

4. For this module you will assess the areas of greatest need in your community, in this case, assisting your target family to access health care, as well as the resources and other strengths that you can tap into in order to address those areas.

For this module you will assess the areas of greatest need in your community, in this case, assisting your target family to access health care, as well as the resources and other strengths that you can tap into in order to address those areas.

Length: Your paper should be 4-6 double-spaced pages (800-1,300 words) in length, excluding title page and references.

As you arrive for work today, your boss greets you and lets you know that a group from Waterville, a nearby city considering to build a new wastewater facility, will be visiting your wastewater facility next week. Your boss is asking you to create a PowerPoint presentation to present to the group that will highlight best practices for managing wastewater systems in a facility.

Using Exhibit 5 (on page 179 of your textbook) as an outline, create a PowerPoint presentation that identifies best practices for managing the subdivisions of the facility wastewater systems that are identified in Exhibit 5.

In the notes section for each slide, provide a brief justification (roughly one paragraph in length) to support the information on each slide. Your presentation should be a minimum of 10 slides in length (at least one slide per subdivision). You must also include a title slide and reference slide, both of which do not count toward your total slide count. Be sure to use APA style throughout your presentation.

The following link and PDF are excellent sources provided by the CSU Writing Center for PowerPoint best practices and basic instructions for creating a presentation.

At the end of Plato’s Protagoras, Socrates suggests to Protagoras that the outcome of the argument is to leave both of them looking ridiculous. (361a). Here is how Socrates describes the situation, from what he imagines would be the discussion’s point of view:

Socrates, you said earlier that virtue cannot be taught, but now are arguing the very opposite and have attempted to show that everything is knowledge— justice, temperance, courage — in which case, virtue would appear to be eminently teachable. On the other hand, if virtue is anything other than knowledge, as Protagoras has been trying to say, then it would clearly be unteachable. (361b)

Notice that Socrates goes no further than to say than this is how the situation appears. He does not acknowledge a genuine contradiction in his own prior arguments — he’s just conceding the impression of one, in the interest of broaching a further investigation of the issues.

For this assignment, you are invited to assess this impression of the situation, through a consideration and assessment of the following proposition:

If Socrates’ arguments on behalf of the unity of virtue and knowledge are valid, those same arguments also imply that he cannot consistently reject Protagoras’ reasons for thinking that virtue is teachable.

1. You are not required, nor expected, to pass judgment on the overall validity of the arguments under discussion. The assignment calls simply for you to examine whether there is reason to think the pertinent arguments are indeed in contradiction with one another, as suggested by the statement quoted above. (To do this, however, you must take the arguments seriously, as arguments, advanced by characters who care about being found persuasive).

2. Your primary responsibility in writing this essay is to offer a potential contribution toward your (hypothetical) reader’s gaining a more complete comprehension of the arguments in Plato’s Protagoras. This does not mean you’re expected to resolve every ambiguity or obscurity in those arguments. But it also doesn’t mean that you can freely disregard what you deem ambiguous or obscure, or inconvenient to your interpretation. Your task is to make as much sense of the material that you can, and then (if need be) pinpoint as precisely as possible what remains obscure to you, or otherwise unresolved. This itself is a contribution toward an enlarged comprehension of the work under discussion.

3. Citations to the text should be given with Stephanus numbers. You may provide the citations parenthetically within the body of your essay. (See the format used in the “Euthyphro Study Guide”). As this is a short paper. direct quotations should be kept to a minimum – i.e., used only when truly needed for purpose of making a point. However, please note that you are expected to provide citations for all references to specific statements or references in the text, whether or not you quote from the text directly.

Forming a corporation for a new business means giving up some of your control over the operation of that business. If you were going to start a new business, would you be willing to give some of your control over to that business to gain the benefits offered by corporations? Why, or why not?

Critically evaluate change management theory, strategies, and tactical options including organization development

Helping Lucille Regain Her Soccer Success

Read the following case study and submit a 2-page program for helping Lucille regain her motivation by overcoming her outcome goal orientation.

After several years of training, Lucille has finally received a scholarship offer to play division one soccer. Outcome goals have always been her driving force:be the fastest, toughest, score more goals, and get more assists. Unfortunately, after an All-American high school career, Lucille is having a rough beginning at college. Her shooting and passing accuracy is struggling. To make matters worse, she is struggling a bit with minor injuries, which makes it difficult to maintain consistent playing time.

As Lucille’s frustrations continue to increase, she begins to no longer enjoy practice and even competition. She blames her poor performance on injuries, playing time, field conditions and teammates unwilling to pass the ball. The outcome-goal orientation now seems to produce a lower self-confidence, self-doubt, and less motivation.

Scott Restaurant Company purchased a commercial freezer from Big Refrigeration Company. The written contract between Scott Restaurant Company and Big Refrigeration Company provided that Scott Restaurant Company would pay Big Refrigeration Company $5,000 for an Arctic Air commercial freezer and an additional $1,000 for delivery and installation of the commercial freezer. Write a case study that considers the questions below.

Is this contract subject to Article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC)? Why, or why not? Does it make a difference if Scott Restaurant Company or Big Refrigeration Company are merchants? Why, or why not?

Next, consider that Big Refrigeration Company delivered an Admiral Craft commercial freezer to Scott Restaurant Company on the date the contract required but, before the freezer was installed, a representative of Scott Restaurant Company recognized that the freezer that was delivered was not the brand that the contract specified.

Include responses to the questions below in your case study.

Did Big Refrigeration Company breach the contract?

Why, or why not?

If there was a breach of contract, what can Scott Restaurant Company do about the breach of contract?

Your case study should be at least two pages in length and include at least two outside sources. Be sure to use APA formatting for all citations and references. Please note that no abstract is needed.

Regenerative medicine is a novel concept based on identifying, controlling, and enhancing the body’s own ability to heal itself to treat or alleviate medical conditions. Many definitions exist, however, a core aspect of these definitions can be summarised in this concept cardinal tool: i.e. the human cells, tissue or even organs capable of restoring or establishing normal function.

The application of this concept in aesthetic medicine have been associated with controversy. On one end sits the advocates who see an endless future of potential. On the other, critics who consider it an evidence baseless hype.

Using a Best BET approach, evaluate the best available evidence for the value of utilisation of three of the following regenerative medicine tools combined with a traditional aesthetic medicine intervention.

Traditional Aesthetic Medicine Regenerative Medicine

Botulinum Toxins Recombinant Growth Factors

Dermal Fillers Platelet-rich products(PRP/PRF)

Microneedling Micrografts
