The character’s hands are similar but only when completely open, it’s kind of hard to describe...

Implementing LEAN Operations at Caesars Casinos In December 2014, Brad Hirsch stood on the gaming floor of the Harrah’s Metropolis Casino and Hotel in Metropolis, Illinois. Hirsch had assumed the position of Senior Vice President and General Manager at this Caesars Entertainment property in mid-2014. Caesars’ culture was strongly oriented toward optimizing the customer experience. This history, coupled with increased competitive pressures and new corporate financial goals for 2015, had created the motivation to intensify improvement efforts at the Metropolis facility. Hirsch had successfully led employee-centered initiatives to apply LEAN1 operating principles in three of the company’s casinos in Tunica, Mississippi. He believed that what he learned from those experiences would be applicable at the Metropolis location but wondered if he should consider a modified approach that could potentially produce results more quickly with the help of a team of internal experts. In 2014, Caesars Entertainment, based in Las Vegas, Nevada, was the world’s most geographically diversified provider of casino entertainment....

Topic Name:- Indigenous Culture and Environment Instructions:- In many countries the original human populations and cultures have been heavily influenced by subsequent settlers from abroad. In this assignment you are to investigate the original populations and how they interacted with the environment around them.

Early Medieval Cultures Compare the development of one specific Islamic and one specific Christian location between 632–1000 C.E. When discussing each location, provide a more specific timeline, and consider adding examples of significant leaders, political and social structures, beliefs, and cultural products (stories, philosophies, theologies, artifacts, art, and architecture). Your comparison should identify similarities and differences in the two religious-based cultures, and also indicate influences they share. Be careful not to compare the religions as a whole but instead focus on a range of cultural elements in your two specific locations because cultures may vary even within one religion depending on time and place. What insight about the historical development of these two cultures did you gain from the comparison? Step 1: Review the section of the Unit V Study Guide entitled, “Be Careful When Making Historical Assumptions.”   Step 2: Choose two appropriate sources, not including the textbook. At least one source must come from the CSU Online Library. The Academic Search Complete...
