...Nicky Gurowicz Research Project December 13th, 2013 FA-13 HM 221 The Art of Design in the Hospitality Industry Abstract Interior design has only just recently become an essential part of the hospitality industry. It gives a sense of brand identity in some cases and in some cases, the design of a hotel may be the sole reason for choosing a certain hotel above others. Thanks to the internet and social media, it has become increasingly easy for customers to make known what they like and don’t. Design is an important factor when it comes to guests choosing where to spend their money. Therefore, hotel designers focus on enhancing guest experience through their designs. Hotels are no longer about just a place to stay, but rather a unique experience that appeals to the preferences of guests. Not to mention, the hotel industry is always changing and coming up with new design innovations. One of the most influential changes recently is the push for designers and hoteliers to go green. Hotels are now striving to generate sustainability to satisfy guests that have become more environmentally and socially aware, as well as to cut costs. Introduction Today, the hospitality industry is about giving guests a complete unique experience, throughout every aspect of their stay. Hotels and restaurants are able to provide these experiences through design, by taking a closer look at their guest’s tastes and preferences. These specific choices include things such as food, art, entertainment...

...LIBERTY UNIVERSITY BAPTIST THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY “A Select Issue in Contemporary Theology: God-Is-Dead Theology” Submitted to Dr. Eunice Abogunrin In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the completion of THEO 510-B05 Survey of Theology By John Kohler Whitley October 5, 2014 Introduction Friedrich Nietzsche believed God is dead, and he has based his theology around these three words. Why does he believe God is dead? Friedrich Nietzsche could have called his theology God does not exist and easily conveyed his message. Nietzsche purposefully chose these three words to send a message to the Christian faith. Since the beginning of time the existence of God has been questioned. Science has attempted to provide humanity with an explanation for human origin and has failed. Atheists argue that God does not exist and do not really offer any strong counter argument to the contrary. Muslims, Jews, and Christians each claim they serve the one supreme Creator of the universe. Who is right and who is wrong? If God is dead, why is religion alive and well? This paper will attempt to answer these questions by providing examples and counter examples. By taking a closer look at the life of Friedrich Nietzsche, his beliefs, morals and values, one will find that he does not possess any evidence that God is dead. Friedrich Nietzsche The life of Friedrich Nietzsche started out rather sadly. Nietzsche’s father, Karl Ludwig Nietzsche, developed a problem in the brain...

...Eddie Rice ART 1030-130742 Art Review 3/15/2016 Time, Space & Matter: Five Installations Exploring Natural Phenomena The following is a review of Jane McFadden’s critique of Time, Space & Matter: Five Installations Exploring Natural Phenomena, written on March 26, 2015. McFadden is currently chair of the humanities and sciences department at the Art Center College of Design. The exhibit is currently on display at the Pasadena Museum of California Art and is curated by Betty Ann Brown. McFadden does make a grand generalization about the exhibit. McFadden begins her critique with the opinion that the exhibit as a whole fails to meet its claim that “re-situating, commenting on, and giving new form to environmental processes and the various histories of human interaction with them.” The main theme of this exhibit is the relationship between man, nature, and where this relationship falls in the grand scheme of existence. Upon further review of the works included in the exhibit, I concluded that I lean towards agreeing with McFadden’s generalization that the exhibit misses the target it was aiming for. McFadden’s explanation of her opinion is very sensible and I find that its accuracy is apparent to the audience. I wouldn’t change much at all about the author’s critique simply because I feel like it was written in a way that’s easy to understand and allows the audience to form a similar opinion. McFadden states that the exhibit has a “the exhibition as a...

The purpose of this integrative review was to describe the relationship between diabetes self-management and metabolic control in youth with type 1 diabetes and to explore factors which affect this relationship. Background. In the past 15 years, research has indicated that youth with type 1 diabetes face considerable self-management challenges and are at increased risk for poor metabolic control. To enhance the development of behavioral interventions for youth with type 1 diabetes, the relationship between diabetes self-management and metabolic control needs to be more clearly elucidated. Data Sources. Research studies that examined the relationship between diabetes self-management and metabolic control in youth with type 1 diabetes were...

...methodologies of five of the major traditions in qualitative research: biography, ethnography, phenomenology, grounded theory, and case study. Asking Five Questions, novice researchers select a methodology appropriate to the desired perspective on the selected topic. The Method facilitates identifying and writing a Problem Statement. Through taking a future perspective, the researcher discovers the importance and direction of the study and composes a Purpose Statement. The process develops an overarching research question integrating the purpose and the research problem. The role of the researcher and management of assumptions and biases is discussed. The Five-Question Method simplifies the framing process promoting quality in qualitative research design. A course outline is appended. Key words: Qualitative Research, Five-Question Method, Biography Research, Phenomenology Research, Grounded Theory Research, Case Study Research, and Ethnography Research Introduction Planning a qualitative study for the first time tends to be an intimidating venture for graduate students just entering the field. Even armed with a topic of interest, for a novice in qualitative research, identifying the problem can seem highly problematic in and of itself. “Students often enter a doctoral-level course with little or no previous preparation in qualitative research” (Cobb & Hoffart, 1999). We view graduate students’ general lack of exposure to and experience with qualitative research as a...

...preparation and serving items. From Sysco’s initial public offering (IPO) in 1970, their sales have grown from $115 million to $37 billion for the fiscal year 2010. Sysco Grand Rapids is one of the numerous Midwest offices that supply to Michigan, Ohio and Indiana. Some of their major customers in Grand Rapids are Bigby Coffee and Jimmy Johns, including many others, which Sysco has national contracts with. Sysco currently holds about 17 percent of the food service market share, which is a $200 billion industry. Some of Sysco’s major competitors that make up the rest of the market share include Gordon Food Service (GFS) and U.S. Foods, which is Sysco’s largest competitor nationwide. Sysco Grand Rapids sees the competition a little differently locally than the company does as a whole, with GFS being their largest competitor. The reason GFS is the largest competitor in Grand Rapids is because they do not serve the entire nation, rather they are more prevalent in the Midwest states. Sysco, however, does differ from the competition greatly and definitely stands out to their current customers and potential prospects. Sysco does more than just deliver food to the establishments at the time they need it, they actually work personally with the business. From helping customers design restaurants and kitchen layouts, to marketing the establishment and even helping with...

...choices of students, from family to friends to personal behaviour and of course, direct environment. School is part of that direct environment. In this research an in-depth view of the influence of school on career choice will be put on paper. The data will be collected with a questionnaire conducted on fourth-year students of the University of Applied Sciences in Utrecht. They will be exposed to a couple of questions about their career choices, what made them choose for what specific line of career and how they feel about this choice right now. When this data has been collected, conclusions can be drawn and our research question can be answered. 2 Table of Content Summary 2 Introduction 4 Literature Review 5 Research Design 7 Research tools 9 Conclusion Discussion 14 Appendices 15 References 3 14 17 Introduction From the beginning of life people are developing themselves. From learning how to walk, learning how to talk, learning how to read to developing as a person. By going to school one develops one’s knowledge and skills. With this process of going to school, studying and developing skills and knowledge people eventually find out who they are. The essence of who the student is will revolve around what the student wants to do with their life and work (Borchert, 2002). While this is the essence, it has been proven that it is not that easy. More than 35% of high school students drop out in the first year...

...January 2009 INTRODUCTION The quality and expertise of the faculty and staff is crucial to the continuing success and excellence of Grand Valley State University. Grand Valley is often recognized for its overall excellence. As with any institution of higher education, this standard of excellence directly relates to the faculty members, whose efforts support the Grand Valley mission of “educating students to shape their lives, their professions and their societies,” and to the senior management and staff of the university, who lead and support these efforts. A key part of success is the stability of the workforce and the implementation of the transference of leadership and the community culture to those who will be members of the faculty and staff in 2010 and beyond. Compounding the need for planning is the widespread concern that the imminent retirement of the “baby boomers” will cause an exodus of talent in a very short timeframe. Without a firm plan, such turnover of talent could make it difficult to sustain the quality of the faculty, leadership and staff of Grand Valley. To assure university leadership, our community, and stakeholders that Grand Valley is prepared for its workforce of the future, President Haas charged the Human Resource Planning Task Force to study this important issue and report to the campus community. The task force studied Grand Valley data, considering projections of retirements, faculty growth, and programmatic needs of the university. Additionally, we...

...Film Review: Hamlet (2009) Gregory Doran I had not expected to laugh at Hamlet, as much as I did at the Royal Shakespeare Company’s 2009 production of Hamlet. Director, Gregory Doran, does the play an informative justice and favourable effort at guiding the perspective of the audience into focus of certain character’s monologue. This, along with the strings of time being interwoven with the set designs and costumes, adds many more layers than other works by the Royal Shakespeare Company. With these layers and additions, Gregory Doran creates an emphatic and enthusiastic version of Hamlet that, although most modern, can be viewed as the most popular of the few. It had been unusual to me to see such stars as David Tennant and Patrick Stewart bolstering as their respective Hamlet and Claudius. To start, Tennant I found to be the utmost enrapturing version of Hamlet I had witnessed. Tennant uses his limber body to express his emotional responses in every frame he exists within. In (Hamlet, 1.2.4) before and after he discovers news of his Father’s Ghost, Tennant expresses rage, sadness, excitement and doubt, within a few minutes of dialogue. It is here, where you the viewer, are first gazed upon by the nature of the actor, and the rawness you are intended to feel. I compare the eye contact to the effect of being a member of the audience in a stage play. It resembles the notion that a character that addresses outward from the stage, into the crowd, that said character is speaking...
