What would you do to further increase the level of personal responsibility that Ryan developed among employees?
Case 16: Apollo Hotel (Textbook page: 609)
Guideline and Suggestions
Please read the General Guideline to Solving Case Studies before start, as posted on the Blackboard.
Read the case twice: once from top to down; second, by focusing on each statement
When you analyze the case, think professionally. You better review the related chapter(s).
Provide complete and appropriate response for each question (not less, not much)
Please use the framework as provided below (second page)
Using bullet points is the best style
The format of the assignment
Length: Maximum 2 pages (remember: the content is more important than no of pages)

Assignments will be evaluated in terms content with an emphasis on originality, analysis, completeness of the information, organization of your ideas, appropriate, conciseness, and clarity.
Copy-and-paste the questions to an MS Word document in order to answer them.
1. What recommendations would you offer to Ryan to:
a. Increase occupancy
b. Improve REVPAR
c. Improve Operations
2. What would you do to further increase the level of personal responsibility that Ryan developed among employees? (seeking your opinion based on the facts given in the case)
3. Do you believe that employees should be cross-trained to do many tasks in a hotel? Does this alienate applicants who might otherwise be good employees?
4. Should Ryan hire an ad agency to help position and market the hotel?
How does a person think about vaccinations and community protections compared to a health behavior professional?
How does a person think about vaccinations and community protections compared to a health behavior professional? In this discussion, you will wear two hats and compare your thinking while wearing each. You will write your initial post before you do your weekly readings. Pretend that a group of socially minded friends have asked you to create a social marketing campaign to address vaccines (e.g., misinformation vs. lives saved, spurious connections to autism, etc.) and the important role they play in community protection. In your post, include the following:
Describe the first thing you would do to develop your campaign.
Identify your target audience.
Write a description of your campaign, with enough specifics to make your post about 350 words in length.
When you have completed this post, due by the end of Day 2, then devote yourself to your readings, specifically Chapter 8, and to watching the videos Using Social Marketing to Create Change for Good (Links to an external site.) and TEDxPennQuarter 2011 Bill Smith Reinventing Social Marketing (Links to an external site.) to begin taking in the information that will let you look at this discussion in a more professional manner. Your health behavior professional hat will be worn in your Guided Responses.

How did looking at them as a whole person help you see things about them that you dont normally focus on?
Pick a friend and do an assessment on them as a whole person. You can do this by looking at them through the wellness model discussed in the Chapter 8 presentation and the book under the Wellness Perspective (the Creative Self, Coping Self, Social Self, Essential Self and Physical Self).
For the discussion, tell us something you didnt know about them that you learned during this exercise.

Develop a proposed evidence-based change-project plan specific to the environment you are using to implement your change project.
Develop a proposed evidence-based change-project plan specific to the environment you are using to implement your change project. Your environmental assessment will include a work breakdown structure, a budget plan, and a measurement tool.
This week, you will design a plan that is at least four pages in length and includes all the information listed in the instructions below to discuss the elements of your proposed plan.
Develop an environmental assessment of your change project area and its readiness for the specific change project you are going to implement.
Include a work breakdown structure. For example, you could create a (timeline/task list/Gantt chart)a hierarchical definition of the planned tasks and activities of a project that normally begins with the highest-level activities and works downward into the individual tasks.
Include a proposed project budget (table or spreadsheet) for the project that addresses the needed personnel, equipment, and supplies that may have associated costs. Click this link for a sample budget template Click for more options .
Include your measurable evaluation methods (indicators/metrics). Include the actual measurement tool you will use and describe any of the following that are applicable to your project: cost savings, improved efficiencies, access to care (visits/procedures/admissions), patient/family satisfaction, associate satisfaction, associate engagement, retention, clinical outcomes, injury prevention, and risk reduction.
compose a two-page essay discussing the impact of the new world of digital communication on community-building in America.
Robert Putnam, in his book Bowling Alone: The Collapse and Revival of American Community, uses the example of the decline of bowling leagues across the country to suggest the passing of community and associations in the United States. Traditionally these associations provided the social capital* upon which society was built.
Has social media exacerbated this loss of community and neighborhood associations or has it enhanced community building? Many argue that electronic communication lacks the tactile and personal nature of face to face contact necessary for true communities. Others respond that online communication permits a much broader understanding of community, with connection across a heretofore impossible expanse of culture and geography.
Using real-world examples, please compose a two-page essay discussing the impact of the new world of digital communication on community-building in America.
Your essay should use MLA formatting and demonstrate college-level grammar, spelling and vocabulary.
*Social capital: A network of personal relationships that provide social glue

What is the Caesar ROT3 Cipher?
Primary Task Response:
Julius Caesar used one of the earliest known cipher systems to communicate with Cicero in Rome while he was conquering Europe. Caesar knew that there was a very high risk of ambush or spies when sending messages; therefore, he developed a cryptographic system now known as the Caesar cipher. Please provide a detailed response to the below to include specific details and examples.
What is the Caesar ROT3 Cipher?
How does it work?
Although the Caesar cipher is easy to use, it is easy to crack. How would an attacker break a Caesar-style cipher?
Try your hand!
1. Encrypt the below message using the Caesar ROT3 cipher.
I WILL BECOME A CRYPTOGRAPHIC GURU
2. Decrypt the below message using the Caesar ROT3 cipher.
3. Create a cipher of your own and see who can crack it! Toward the end of the week, provide the solution to your cipher.
