For a health care organization of your choice (real or hypothetical), describe the type of organization, and determine the payer mix of patients served (percentage of Medicare, Medicaid, private insurance, managed care, and private pay).
Take into consideration that reimbursement can be affected by the claims process, out-of-network payments, denials, audits, and legislation.
Assess the differences in health care budgeting as a result of these potential changes in the payer mix and payment methodologies as an outcome of the Affordable Care Act.
Take into consideration that while more patients may have insurance coverage, the out-of-pocket expenses will continue to create a potential uncollectable liability.
Evaluate how you would strategize to keep a balanced budget for all 12 months in a year using a flexible budget rather than a static budget, and provide rationale and justification.
The body of the resultant paper should be 5–7 pages and include at least 5 relevant academic or professional references published in the past 5 years.

Technology Management
(10 pts. total) A 6-story (10 feet per story) rectangular commercial building with a footprint of 6000 ft2 is being built by a developer on a previously developed 0.8 acre site on Long Island. The project is slated to cost $15 million. 1) Answer the following about the building with regard to LEED scoring in the Energy and Atmosphere category (base the energy usage on the included CBECS data below):

a. Estimate the following values: (2 pts.)
• Total baseline energy usage
• Reduction/generation in usage to earn 4 points:
o under EA Credit: Optimize Energy Performance, Option 1
o using on-site renewable energy generation
o using captured bio-methane from a nearby landfill

b. Based on at least three references (one for each bullet), discuss the feasibility of
meeting the reduction/generation in usage outlined in part.

(a). (2 pts.) c. Determine if a 40-ton HVAC system can earn points under Option 2 of EA Credit:
Enhanced Refrigerant Management if the system uses HFC-410a as a refrigerant.
(Assume 10 years of life, 150 total lb of refrigerant used, and default values for all others.) If not, propose two ways to allow the HVAC system meet the requirement
(may state this last part; no calculations are necessary).

2) Address the ability of the project to earn 3 points under Option 2 of MR Credit: Building Life
Cycle Impact Reduction. Use one reference to address how it can be done for each of the 3 impact areas you select, and what the benefits in terms of the 3 E’s are.

Activist art is a term used to describe art that is grounded in the act of ‘doing’ and addresses political or social issues.

The aim of activist artists is to create art that is a form of political or social currency, actively addressing cultural power structures rather than representing them or simply describing them.

Activist art is about empowering individuals and communities and is generally situated in the public arena with artists working closely with a community to generate the art.
Before you do the reading, think about the description of activist art above and then think back over the class and the artists, movements, and periods that we have discussed. Can you think of an artist that you have learned about in this class that fits into the above definition of activist art?

1. Define protest art. What does it mean to you? What kinds of issues to protest artists address?

2. We have come across Dada before when you had to watch the video of the sound poem performance by Hugo Ball (who wore the lobster claw suit). How does Dada fit into the above description of activist art? How is that performance an example of activist art?

3. What does the graffiti artist Banksy address in his work? Look up an example of his work and explain what is being protested.

4. Compare Banksy’s work to the Arab Spring movement. What is similar about them?

5. As you discovered in the reading, a lot of activist artists utilize graffiti in their practice. Why do you think these two things, graffiti, and activist art, go so well together? What about graffiti lends itself well to protest artists?

6. Which artist/artist group did you read about that you found the most intriguing? Why?
