The article is divided into these two separate groups and lists the benefits for each group and how those benefits could be implemented. The use of an HRIS for the HR department would assist with adding new hires to the system, automating reoccurring tasks such as payroll, and keep track of employees (i.e. if they are at work of off and where they are within the hotel). For employees the HRIS could assist in keeping track of when employees clock in from remote locations and communicating with the HR department in a singular way to perform certain tasks such as requesting time off.

      Seems to be such a young age to stop working by but the effects of such toxins can affect someone in this line of work this fast.
  • recyclers and dismantlers have recorded dangerously high levels of lead, mercury and chromium in their bodies.
  • All kinds of animals and organisms may be exposed to mercury, such as an earthworm or a little fish in a river. Larger animals which ingest these organisms, or graze on the plants which grow from contaminated soil are then contaminated as well – and up the food chain it goes.

  • toxic chemicals that electronic waste contains do not organically break down and can, over time, seep into the environment around landfills, contaminating local groundwater or get absorbed into the atmosphere, thus seriously endangering the health of nearby communities and animal populations.
  • Research has shown that it is especially dangerous because of the process of bioaccumulation, referring to the uptake of a chemical in an organism over time, and biomagnification, when there is an increase in the concentration of a chemical in the food chain as a result of ingestion of other organisms, in eco-systems surrounding landfills.

    This article covers the effects e-waste has on not only the people working with these hazardous materials everyday, but what long term effects it could have on the environment. The article concentrates on the region India, and how the e-waste is currently effecting it. The limitations this kind of work is having on the people associated with this form of disposing everyday. How even children are infected with led and it is now in their bloodstreams. The article goes in deeper with predictions of contamination of animals and plants in near by areas and what could become of them. The article sums up, however, that at the the end of the day it will always come back to us and the whole world could be contaminated by these toxins. That there needs to be a solution soon to this problem or what seems to be just the begging can grow even further, and faster than we could ever want.

  • With technology evolving on multiple fronts in today's foodservice industry, restaurant operators are facing more pressure than ever to improve their business operations.

      This article highlights the advice Robert Grimes, International Food & Beverage Technology Association president and CEO, gives to those looking to innovate their technologies in the Food & Beverage industry. In the article Grimes hits 3 main points: robotics, 3D printing, and Blockchain. He hits that robotics are being utilized already in food service outlets. How robotics are not only assisting customers with faster food times but also providing more variety to them within this decreased period. As well as assistance in the kitchen to execute orders faster. He discusses how 3D printing "will enable the food service industry to serve more fresh food - faster and with less space than traditional food service." For example, with cake decorating and pizza making. Within the article, Grimes also has an obscure idea, but yet one no one has thought about yet, of using a tracking service called Blockchain that can be readily available to customers to see where food from a restaurant is coming from (i.e. farm to table restaurants could show where they are receiving their products from exactly). Almost emulating the tracking service most use for packages being delivered to their homes. Grimes lastly explains the "seven Cs" of food service technology - clarity, convergence, connections, convenience, choice, consumer and commitment. "He placed clarity at the top of this list since the rapid growth of technology calls for clarifying what one refers" to, which he utilized to explain the 3 innovations. The rest of the article hits the rest of the C's and what each means to him and how it could help improve food service. However, the most important piece of information comes with the closing sentence: "To utilize technology, an organization must make a concerted effort to ensure that all employees are making use of it." Meaning that, you could implement everything and believe in it fully, but without belief of those working for you and with you, none of it will matter.

      Eliminates the guessing game of where your food comes from for customers. With the ability to track food from order to deliver, as if it were an amazon package, will help consumers understand exactly what they are eating. It could also help different restaurants within the same area compete with how fresh their ingredients compared to others based on where product is purchased from.
  • the "seven Cs" of foodservice technology — clarity, convergence, connections, convenience, choice, consumer and commitment.
  • Business organizations need to have a holistic view of technology for their different departments. If they fail to do this, they run the risk of choosing the wrong system.
  • "People want to be able to get to their technology however they want to get there," he said, be it via a kiosk, a smartphone, a watch or a desktop.
  • "If you want to lower the cost of technology, go with consumer technology," he said. Many businesses already use consumer smartphones and laptops for this very reason.
  • Grimes insisted that many businesses continue to view technology as an overhead expense instead of an opportunity to improve service and efficiency.
