This document summarizes environmental issues affecting the hospitality industry, including main causes such as overpopulation, pollution, resource depletion, waste, and climate change. It discusses how each of these issues impacts the hospitality industry and what hotels and organizations can do to address them, such as reducing waste and becoming more sustainable. Specific companies that are taking steps to be greener, such as Marriott Hotels International, are highlighted. Images relating to the various topics accompany the text.
Tactics for Implementing Test Automation for Legacy CodeJeff Gallimore
Slides used to introduce the DevOps Enterprise Forum whitepaper on tactics for implementing test automation for legacy code at the DevOps Enterprise Summit 2015 in San Francisco.
Inspired by Arizona Meth Project, college students from health/fitness class at MCC (WED110-Section 50940) compile an educational presentation about Meth.
PPT created by Kathleen Curran on Traditional Symbols in Literature. The slide show will be accompanied by a lecture. Students will have a handout with the symbol listed. They will take notes on what the symbol represents as they view the slide show and listen to my lecture. The next step will be having students find these symbols in literature we read in class.

The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has been more than a crisis; it has been a global wake-up call to change our paradigms and the way we perceive the world. Not surprisingly, the pandemic has altered the way we interpret the normal as well as the way we live. Normal, by its nature, is a relative term and, presently, we have different derivations of it: Normal, new normal, and next normal. Nevertheless, it is important to always remember that one’s new normal can be someone else's normal, or one’s normal could have hitherto been a new normal for someone else. Likewise, normal and new normal for some can be the next normal for others. These derivations of normal suggest that we are experiencing an unprecedented time, one marked by major shifts in the way we understand and interpret different areas of life, not least of all education, which has and will continue to undergo changes, particularly in the way we teach and learn.

Integrating Information Technology with Sports (by Chris and Sean)ChrisEluva
This is our Professional skills assignment 4 (2BCT2) .
We used these slides to discuss the idea of how I.T is used in sports now and how it will be used in the future.
It is primarily made from images acquired from Google !! (We couldn't find much creative commons images).
We've used examples like the hawk eye system, IT in Olympics, Rugby ref cam etc.. to illustrate our topic.

Awareness raising presentation and workshop on the way social and environmental degradation will impact the tourism industry at large, and people who will work in tourism (the audience) in particular.
Group exercises articulated around the concept of impact of key department on certain aspect of hotel operations (energy, water, waste, chemicals, social/environmental, food,..), ways to mitigate it, and how to go from idea to implementation by using SMART tool (action plan).
This presentation covers (1) Social impact of tourism; (2) Effects of globalization on tourism development; (3) Sex tourism and exploitation of women; and (4) Trends and issues shaping tourism and hospitality development.
According to the World Travel & Tourism Council, the Travel and Tourism industry is currently among the largest and fastest-growing industries worldwide, forecasted to support 328 million jobs, or 10% of the workforce, by 2022.
Emerging markets - including the Middle East, Africa, Asia and the Pacific – are the new tourist destinations that are increasingly drawing crowds.
Key Issues of Concern in the Lodging Industry
Human resources management is the most troubling issue of concern to managers and
executives in the lodging industry worldwide, according to a survey of 243 managers taken
during 2008. The study identified a common set of shared problems that impede the ability
of industry leaders to manage effectively, with human resources issues being at the forefront.
Over 60 percent of respondents from six different regions of the world in both general manager and
executive positions reported that the human resource issues of attraction, retention, training, and
morale were key areas of concern. Other problems include economic and environmental matters,
understanding customer needs, rising operating costs, and thinking strategically in a competitive
environment. The study provides an update to a similar study conducted in 2001. Certain issues
identified in that earlier study, including information technology and branding, have dropped from
hotel executives’ list of concerns.

Altered carbon -- Carbon Processing, Programming, and Economyahessel
Graphical slides for presentation at Humanity+ Summit, Harvard University, June 12-13. See full video online to hear the story (approx 10 minutes).
Overview:
Carbon is abundant, versatile, and the chemical foundation of all living creatures. Moreover, new forms of carbon are speeding advances in materials science, nanotechnology, and computing, with paradigm-busting ramifications. It is even poised to become the first truly global currency as industries transition away from carbon emitting processes to carbon-capturing ones in the expanding effort to stabilize our climate. And that’s just the beginning. Living creatures aren’t only made of carbon: they are versatile and efficient carbon processors. The ease by which life can be programmed to do our bidding opens the door to new, altered carbon forms no longer bounded by the need simply to survive long enough to replicate and pass on genes. The days of natural selection, then, are drawing to a close, to be replaced by an evolution Darwin never saw coming, one directed, for better or worse, by human enterprise, creative expression, or folly.
Altered Carbon - Andrew Hessel - H+ Summit @ HarvardHumanity Plus
Andrew Hessel is an outspoken advocate and champion of DNA technologies, catalyzing new project developments, investment, and relationships in synthetic biology and bioengineering. His overarching message is that biology is poised to become the IT industry of the 21st century, fueled by a new generation of young researchers and entrepreneurs armed with technologies like DNA sequencing and synthesis that are becoming exponentially more powerful yet increasingly inexpensive. The possible applications are virtually limitless and include the typical global challenges (sustainable fuel production, environmental remediation, and better diagnosis treatment of human disease) but also extend into new, uncharted scientific territories. His popular lectures at the Singularity University and his visioning work reinforce that the foundations for this new industry are already in place, that it will grow explosively once the first few killer applications find commercial success, and that it will change the world, and humanity itself, in profound yet perhaps evolutionary necessary ways.
This PPT went through several revisions. I worked and worked on finding the best, most representative images wanting to create memorable pictures for my students. I shared the PPT with my mentor who commented on how much she enjoyed the presentation and how soothing it was. At that point I realized that adding music would improve the presentation. I searched through my entire library of music in an effort to find music that best fit the presentation. I struggled and finally learned how to add more than one song to a presentation. I am very proud of my final creation and believe my students will enjoy learning about symbols in literature as they view this Power Point presentation.
The convergence of the Internet of Things and EnergyTom Raftery
Climate change is wreaking havoc on our planet. Electricity generation is responsible for a large part of oue CO2 emissions. Renewable energy can help reduce the carbon footprint of energy production but it has its own problems.
The Internet of Things can play a significant part in reducing the problems associated with integrating renewables into the electricity grid.
Many would have no trouble saying that we live in uniquely exciting and troubled times, but is it true? We'll look at a number of parallels our world has with the world in the Victorian age.
From the Un-Distinguished Lecture Series (http://ws.cs.ubc.ca/~udls/). The talk was given Sep. 21, 2007.
Internet of Things (IoT) and energy keynote at Tesla WorldTom Raftery
The Internet of Things means everything is now starting to become intelligent, and connected. Soon our devices will be able to listen for pricing signals on the electricity grid, and adjust their behaviour accordingly.
This shift has profound implications for grid stability, energy security, and climate change.
