Clifford Aymes was hired by Jonathan Bonelli of Sun Island Sales, Inc., to create a computer program for Sun Island to use in maintaining records of its cash receipts, inventory, sales, figures, and other data. No agreement was reached as to ownership rights in the program that Aymes developed, called CSALIB. Aymes did most of his programming at the Sun Island office. Although Bonelli gave Aymes frequent instructions as to what he wanted from the program, Aymes generally worked alone and enjoyed considerable autonomy in his work. He worked fairly regular hours, but he was not always paid by the hour—occasionally, he submitted bills (invoices) to Sun Island for his work. Aymes never received any employee benefits, such as health insurance, and Sun Island never withheld federal and state taxes from Aymes’s paycheck; nor did it pay any Social Security taxes on Aymes’s earnings. When Bonelli unilaterally cut Aymes’s hours in violation of an alleged oral agreement, Aymes left Sun Island and demanded compensation for Sun Island’s use of CSALIB. Bonelli refused to pay Aymes for the program’s use and also stated that he would not pay Aymes $14,560 in back wages unless Aymes signed a form releasing all rights in CSALIB. Aymes then sued Bonelli and Sun Island for copyright infringement, and the court had to decide who owned the copyright in the program. Central to the determination of this issue was whether Aymes was an employee of Sun Island or an independent contractor. What should the court decide, and why?

For example if I have 189 secs it should recognize it as an error and fix it by calling the helper method and instead should be 3 minutes and 9 seconds and the same thing with minutes ex 120 mins is 2 hours, but for hours it should just be dropped after the 1 day that is made for example 37 hours just becomes 13 hours. the exceptions handler should call a helper method that will fix the properties to make sense

*VISUAL BASIC* Construct and instantiate an array of strings called afcSouth that contains the following information separated by commas (as team, wins, losses, and ties). You realize now that you need to compute a winning percentage (namely (wins+.5*ties)/(wins + losses+ties)) for these teams. Use this array to create a structure afcSouthTeam consisting of types string, integer, integer, integer, and double. Write a for loop that will cycle through the array to populate this structure with the actual data.

Some discarded solid chemical waste dissolves slowly in a large drain pipe in which the water is stagnant. On a particular day, the dissolved chemical has a concentration of 0.16 M near the solid and is essentiallly 0 at a location 13.6 m further along the pipe. The transfer rate (moles per time) of tthe chemical through the water in the pipe between those two points is 7.3 gmol/min.
A. What equation describes this kind of transfer?
B. Several days later, the chemical concentration near the solid has decreased to 0.105 M and is essentially 0 at a location 9.9 m away. What will be the transfer rate between the point near the solid and point 9.9 m away on this later day?
C.On the next day, the heavy rains cause a current of waater to flow through the drain pipe where the dissolving solid is located. The solid now dissolves twice as fast as on the previous day. If the concentration are still 0.105 M near the solid and 0 at the more remote locations and if the cross-sectional area for transfer is 0.3 m^2 , what is the value of the mass-transfer coefficient at this time?

Write a Python program to implement a form of a Roman numeral calculator. We are using the purely additive form of Roman numerals. By that, we mean that a number is simply the sum of its digits; for example, 4 equals IIII, in our additive notation. This means that we are NOT using IV for 4. Each Roman numeral must start with the digit of highest value and ends with the digit of smallest value. That is 9 is VIIII and NOT IIIIV. Your program continually (in a loop) inputs 2 Roman numbers and an arithmetic operator and prints the result of the operation as a Roman number. The values of the Roman digits (upper case letters only) are as follows:
Roman Digit Value of Roman Digit I 1 V 5 X 10 L 50 C 100 D 500 M 1000 So, the Roman number MMVIIII represents 2009. The arithmetic operators that your program must recognize in the input are +, -, *, and //. These should perform the Python integer operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, respectively. Your program must loop, processing 2 Roman numbers with an operator, finishing when end of file is reached. You do not have to ensure that the input is in purely additive form, that is, digits are followed only by digits of the same or lower value. Your program does NOT have to check for this. You can assume that only positive numbers will be entered as input and you don't have to check for negative numbers. If the result is negative, you must print out a minus sign followed by the absolute value of the result printed as a Roman Numeral. See the sample runs below. If the result is zero, print the word "zero". --------------------------------------
