...Case 5 Harrah’s Entertainment Inc 1. What problems has Marilyn Winn faced as HR Director at Harrah’s Entretainment? The first problem Winn faced as human resources director was the group of senior managements who wanted her to focus mainly on executive compensations instead of addressing the needs of the field. The group of managers represented management, not leadership since the last human resources director didn’t understand the gaming industry and wasn’t interested in addressing the needs of the field and his only concern was designing senior executive packages. Additionally the upper managers opposed to change because they were used to the way things had always been done, they resisted a greater centralization or oversight, didn’t want to share information across properties and wanted to promote people as a reward for a job well done, instead of using the assessment test to determine if the people had the skills necessary to be promoted. The second issue Winn dealt with was a high turnover rate; Harrah’s needed to have a stable workforce in order to deliver a great customer service. The main cause of terminations was absenteeism because the employees were working very long hours, weekends, holidays and all-nighters. In some properties turnover was estimated to be higher than 70%. The average turnover rate of all the company was 45%, she achieved her goal and brought down turnover to below 34%. The third issue Winn encountered was improving customer loyalty...

...Personal Reflection Christopher Davis CSS101_4 January 21, 2015 Karin Detweiler Personal Reflection In this course I learned that having commitment brings out our true potential because it motivates us to give our best, overcome obstacles, stand up even after failures, and that my soft skills are more valuable than I realized. Though I have been through this course once before at a different college, when I earned my Associate’s Degree we didn’t do a lot of research because it was a technology school. I was surprised by how much prospective employers look at your soft skills over your knowledge. What surprised me the most was the paragraph that we had to copy and paste when making our APA template. This statement really made me think, (Many students grumble and moan when their instructor assigns them to complete a group project. Some students may worry that they will have to do the whole assignment on their own, if their group members do not pull their weight. Other students insist that they work better on their own. However, students would be wise to note that working in group projects helps them develop and refine their soft skills. Soft skills are “collection of personal, positive attributes and competencies that enhance your relationships, job performance, and value to the market” (Smith, 2011). And, they are becoming increasingly more important...

It is the main problem to Kelly, and there exist a chain reaction in it, so there are other problems are applied in her situation. From the passage, Kelly’s family is keeping to instil Kelly that she is the eldest daughter and she have to help her younger siblings. From the behavioral of her parents doing to brag about Kelly, it is pressuring Kelly indirectly. Since the parenting styles (Baumrind, 1991) of Kelly’s parent is authoritarian. They are keep demanding Kelly to do for the best and being a helpful daughter and do the best sister to take care her younger siblings. And they reject Kelly that not to go for further study. In Kelly’s family it is adult-centered, and her parents control the child’s welfare. Also, Kelly obey their parents invisible rule, careful not to do anything wrong in front of them. The typical Family Life Cycle (Olson & McCubbin, 1983), it mention that in stage 3, which a family with children in elementary or high school, just like Kelly’s family. In this stage, it is better for Kelly’s parents to establish the foundations of the children’s self-esteem, values, and lives. The parent-child relationships exert critical influences on children’s identities and self-concepts. But to Kelly’s parents, maybe because they have to work all day long, they just hope that Kelly can help to reduce their responsibility in...

...Why aren't u ok? I always wanted to be A horse. Band of Horses breed suburban chicanery with maudlin--porch, garage, or promenade--recollection, still brooding the belief that the indie consensus, regarding folk undertones and hip root references, will somewhere along the way match their own; probably by virtue of all the 'tagisms' Americana entails. Be that as it may, it's that important if the memoirs Ben Bridwell pitches high, to bait you towards the nostalgia web, include late grandpas, late dogs, late bears or late laundromat meetings; they've all spun towards the chorus of "In a drawer"--the stickiest of all present here, and the most probable for millinials to call a countryism. What matters is the band's own findings, which provide...

...©2010 International Journal of Computer Applications (0975 - 8887) Volume 1 – No. 17 Routing Approaches in Delay Tolerant Networks: A Survey R. J. D'Souza National Institute of Technology Karnataka, Surathkal, India Johny Jose National Institute of Technology Karnataka, Surathkal, India ABSTRACT Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs) have evolved from Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANET). It is a network, where contemporaneous connectivity among all nodes doesn’t exist. This leads to the problem of how to route a packet from one node to another, in such a network. This problem becomes more complex, when the node mobility also is considered. The researchers have attempted to address this issue for over a decade. They have found that communication is possible in such a challenged network. The design of routing protocol for such networks is an important issue. This work surveys the literature and classifies the various routing approaches. discontinuity in the network. There are also methods that have employed additional mobile nodes, to provide better message delivery. Researchers are even exploring how the social interaction of humans can be utilized for routing in a DTN. This survey has made an extensive study of the various routing strategies taken by the researchers in the past few years. We have classified them based on the type of knowledge used for routing. 2. FLOODING BASED APPROACHES Knowledge about the network helps in deciding the best next hop. It can happen that the...

...DaenerysDAENERYS In this city of splendors, Dany had expected the House of the Undying Ones to be the most splendid of all, but she emerged from her palanquin to behold a grey and ancient ruin. Long and low, without towers or windows, it coiled like a stone serpent through a grove of black-barked trees whose inky blue leaves made the stuff of the sorcerous drink the Qartheen called shade of the evening. No other buildings stood near. Black tiles covered the palace roof, many fallen or broken; the mortar between the stones was dry and crumbling. She understood now why Xaro Xhoan Daxos called it the Palace of Dust. Even Drogon seemed disquieted by the sight of it. The black dragon hissed, smoke seeping out between his sharp teeth. “Blood of my blood,” Jhogo said in Dothraki, “this is an evil place, a haunt of ghosts and maegi. See how it drinks the morning sun? Let us go before it drinks us as well.” Ser Jorah Mormont came up beside them. “What power can they have if they live in that?” “Heed the wisdom of those who love you best,” said Xaro Xhoan Daxos, lounging inside the palanquin. “Warlocks are bitter creatures who eat dust and drink of shadows. They will give you naught. They have naught to give.” Aggo put a hand on his arakh. “Khaleesi, it is said that many go into the Palace of Dust, but few come out.” “It is said,” Jhogo agreed. “We are blood of your blood,” said Aggo, “sworn to live and die as you do. Let us walk with you in this dark place, to...
