Write a Visual C# project that will allow the user an option to choose from four different countries. When a country is chosen, the program will display the country flag and information that the user wishes to see. The name of the country selected will be displayed in a label under the country's flag image. The user may also choose to display or hide the form's title, the country name, and the name of the programmer/developer.   Check boxes will be used for the display/hide choices. Radio buttons will be used for the country selection.

You may choose the countries to display and their corresponding flags to display. In the Canvas module, you will see a zip file of flag images or you may choose your own.

Note: see the Note from the previous projects. These are now considered Basic Expectations and are expected in each program you develop and submit for grading.

Additionally, include keyboard access keys for all option buttons, check boxes, and command buttons. (add to Basic Expectations)
Be sure the tab order is set in the most logical order for the user.   (add to Basic Expectations)

The ( ) method will be called if a method is called from within a subclass that overrides a super class method.

In Java the (          ) keyword is used to prevent changes being made to a variable.

The property of ( ) refers to the ability of an object to take on many forms.

In Java, a character constant’s value is its integer value in the ( ) character set.

An interface requires each of the interface’s methods to be ( ) or declared abstract.

The (    ) statement forces an exception object to be generated.

Through the process of (    ) , a programmer hides all but the relevant data about an object in order to reduce complexity and increase efficiency.

Re-implementing an inherited method in a subclass to perform a different task from the parent class is called (    ) .

In a class definition, the special method that is called to create an instance of that class is known as a/an ( ) .

In Java, objects are passed as ( ) addresses.

A computer operator at the local data processing center decides to visit work on a Monday evening. She has a key to the outside door, and since there is no key required for the computer room, she simply walks into the computer room. The operator, who is really one of the nation’s most notorious computer programmer/hackers (having been convicted five time for manipulating various firms’ data files), opens the documentation bookcase, located in the corner of the computer room. In the bookcase she finds the procedural documentation, the systems documentation, user manuals, application documentation, and operator manuals. She examines the documentation to understand the payroll program and to find the location of the payroll files. She accesses the information systems library, which is available to all computer operators at all times, accesses the payroll program, reprograms it, and runs a payroll job that creates one electronic funds transfer (to a new account opened by the operator under an assumed name). On Tuesday, the operator transfers the funds to a Swiss bank account and does not show up for work.

Nursing Leadership Class

Week One Discussion: Change & Innovation in Nursing

Initial Post:  

1. Obtain a scholarly nursing journal on Innovation and Change in Clinical Nursing Practice or Nursing Education. Download the article (you will post it for your peers to review)

2. Write your Literature Review (almost like an abstract), summarizing the key concepts presented in the article (you do not need to report statistical findings or elaborate on the type of research conducted). Make sure to identify the problem/need for change/rationale for change, the setting (practice or education) identified, and how the results/findings could be implemented in the identified setting. Limit to 1-2 paragraphs- quality over quantity!

3. Attach the article to your discussion post

Respond to at least ONE peer, and include the following:

1. After reviewing the article, identify 3 salient (relevant) points presented in the article in terms of the change proposed and the setting for the change, include a rationale/evidence for each point. For example, if you review an article about the implementation of simulation in nursing education to simulate clinical preparedness, you might conclude that: According to __________ (year), 65% nursing students in the study reported that simulation helped them learn psychomotor tasks better than the classroom environment and they felt more prepared when performing those skills in the clinical setting. When the simulation has been included in the curriculum at Stratford, it helped me feel better prepared and more confident during the clinical for the course.

2. Develop a research question (not a PICOT question) based upon the findings/results of the article.  For example, if you review an article about the implementation of simulation in nursing education to stimulate clinical preparedness, your research question could focus on the implementation of simulation in new grad unit-based orientation programs.  Reference: Writing a Research Question (click the link to go to the web page).

Typifying Tanzania’s Upward Trajectory

A company that incites financial innovation and socioeconomic development, Barclays Bank Tanzania is gearing up for a new, exciting chapter in its already illustrious history.

The 1990s will go down as a crucial decade in Tanzania history.

A 10-year period characterized by political, social and economic transformation, it witnessed the country’s first successful multi-party election in 1995 and the signing of the progressive East African Community Treaty in 1999 – a cooperative commercial and political agreement between Tanzania, Kenya, and Uganda. The Tanzanian banking sector also embarked on a plan for financial liberalization at this time, part of a country-wide effort to sustain positive economic growth. Through the mobilization of financial resources and bolstered competition this was achieved facilitating greater freedoms amongst domestic banks and welcoming international players that helped to improve the availability of financial services and the quality of existing services. One such enterprise that has risen to the fore as a result is Barclays Bank Tanzania – a firm that has thrived since establishing a national footprint at the turn of the millennium. “The banking industry continues to undergo significant transformation in Tanzania and across the region, driven to a large extent by changing customer demographics, technological advancements and innovation,” explains Abdi Mohamed, the organisation’s Chief Executive Officer. “It’s critical to the growth of the economy, playing a pivotal role in supporting the government’s growth agenda.” A fully-fledged commercial bank serving the retail, business and corporate segments, Barclays has become a spearhead of the progressions that Mohamed refers to. Offering a full suite of deposit and lending products targeted to all key sectors of the economy, the business is well represented across the country with a network of 15 branches and an ATM network of 62. “We’re proud of our relentless focus on customers, competitive products, digital channels and our talented and diverse workforce,” Mohamed adds.

Employee power

The latter of these core focus areas has proven to be crucial to the success of Barclays Tanzania. The company pays particular attention to its employment, training and talent retention strategies, evidenced by its emphasis on providing young people with opportunities. “Young people bring special qualities that enhance diversity in the workplace,” explains Mohamed. They’re often brave, passionate and ready to take on new challenges and inject new ideas – qualities which are critical in finding solutions to today’s problems. “They tend to learn more quickly and have the ability to adapt to change. It is this knack for self-learning and adaptability that we look to explore with the vision of developing great leaders of tomorrow.” These attitudes bode well with its citizenship agenda that again seeks to develop local talent. The company ensures it provides an abundance of opportunities to its workforce, recognising the importance of keeping its skilled staff energised and happy. To this end, the firm has developed a three-stage strategy of hiring, developing and holding onto its best workers. “This people-centric plan includes a multitude of elements,” Mohamed explains. “We pay for performance and provide long term incentives for select organisational leaders over a three-year period, owed to the belief that exceptional staff contribute significantly to our business outcomes. We also consistently benchmark our offerings against the rest of the market, uphold employee engagement to the highest of standards and promote diversity wherever possible.”

Admirable social commitments

The mention of diversity leads the CEO to highlight the firm’s empowerment ethos, the company having developed tailored programmes that support up and coming female leaders and running training partnerships with external entities such as Duke University and the International Institute for Management Development. This responsible, progressive, conscious approach to development does not only apply internally, however. Equally, Barclays Tanzania is positioned as an active force for good, viewing citizenship as a fundamental part of its overall strategy. “We’re all about bringing possibilities to life as we support initiatives that help upskill, empower people and play a part in changing, developing and solving communities’ challenges,” Mohamed explains. These efforts fall under a series of distinct citizenship pillars, the first being enterprise development. The CEO reveals: “We have empowered 810 youth living with and affected by HIV/AIDS by upskilling and training them on entrepreneurship skills. Further, more than 600 young people have benefitted from entrepreneurial skills projects via our incubation and acceleration initiatives.” The company’s education efforts are similarly extensive, having sponsored 25 students for their undergraduate studies at the University of Dar es Salaam and Tanzania Institute of Accountancy. “400 graduates have also been trained on work skills under our placement programmes, and we’ve helped to empower more than 5,000 young people through our ReadytoWork programme,” Mohamed adds. In total, Barclays Tanzania has invested more than a billion Tanzanian shillings ($440,000) in social upliftment efforts over the past four years, be it on donations, education skills, natural disasters, enterprise development and/or financial skills. Additionally, 95 percent of its staff have taken time to share their skills and support communities, particularly hospitals, orphans and other disadvantage children. “We take these commitments very seriously, ensuring that we make a difference in people’s lives,” the Chief Executive reiterates.

A brighter future

Corporate social responsibility aside, the company’s investments extend into a variety of other areas as it seeks to bolster not only surrounding communities but equally its own offerings. Digitisation, for example, is a core part of the firm’s agenda across all business segments right now. “With the future of banks being digital, we have to give our customers products and services that speak to that,” Mohamed reveals. “Within the next six months, you can expect to see a lot of exciting innovations become part of our portfolio.” A major rebrand is also underway for Barclays Tanzania as it gears up to incorporate the name of its parent company, Absa Group Limited. “This is very high on our list of priorities,” Mohamed affirms, stating that Absa’s warm, vibrant red colour palette will soon be appearing across its branches and ATMs during the remainder of 2019 and beyond. “The process is subject to regulatory approvals and we thank our regulators for the ongoing support. “It’s a deliberate move from Absa Group to rebrand all its operations to Absa, as was announced in July 2018. Our legacy will serve us well for the future, and as we enter a new era, you can expect to see the energy and the vibrancy of the Absa brand taking us to new levels.” This rebrand and digital drive combined, the CEO and Barclays Tanzania have every right to be optimistic for the future as the bank becomes ever-more focused on driving value for an ever-widening customer base. Mohamed concludes, once again highlighting the positive climate that is facilitating the firm’s continual transformation: “We’ve seen an increase in industry profitability over the last couple of years, and the overall outlook remains positive. “GDP growth rates, inflation and foreign exchange rates all remain within the target range, and the economy is well diversified with a debt to GDP ratio that is within expectations. “We’re certainly excited about the direction of both country and company as we prepare for an incredible journey of brand transformation.” Source: https://www.africaoutlookmag.com/outlook-features/barclays-bank-tanzania

‘Each small innovation generated changes in his life and in everyone’s. Whether it is a language system or a poem, they make the universe a different place’. let us compare between Nikola Tesla and Thomas Alva Edison. discoverer contributed to the event of the alternating-current (AC) electrical system which is widely used today and to the rotating flux, which is that the basis of most AC machinery while Edison invented the DC which is a smaller amount widely utilized in the current but he has many great inventions just like the electric bulb the phonograph and lots of more.

Edison and tesla worked together before tesla parted ways because of business scientific conflict. While Edison was an influential figure who focused on marketing and financial success, Tesla wasn't business-minded and was somewhat vulnerable because of which tesla suffered plenty to run his company. Edison managed to convince his investors about his inventions but tesla couldn't so he suffered.

In the end, Edison held 1,093 patents and Tesla held but 300 worldwide. Of course, Edison had a bunch of assistants helping him devise inventions and had also bought a number of these patients.

Tesla's inventions are the backbone of contemporary power and communication systems, but he faded into anonymity later within the 20th century. But later his invention caught the attention of an engineer and acquired his patents he saw that it's a future. But Edison had dispelled Tesla's AC system of electrical power transmission, calling it 'impractical', instead of promoting his simpler yet less efficient DC system.

Tesla didn't get the celebrity he deserved besides his inventions was of great practical use. Edison also launched a negative press-campaign in a trial to undermine the interest in AC power. With its repeated success and favorable press, the alternating-current system became the leading facility of the 20th century and it's remained the worldwide standard since.

Tesla suffered a breakdown and eventually returned to the figure as a consultant primarily. But as time passed, his ideas progressively became strange and impractical. He also grew increasingly eccentric and devoted much of his time in caring for wold pigeons in the big apple City's parks. He even drew the FBI's attention for his mouth building a robust "death beam", which had also received some interest from the state during warfare II.
