Scenario

You work as an Administrative Manager at a food manufacturing company called Bruce’s Food Supply. You have been with the company for almost three years. You work for the Founder and President, Bruce Ventura, who started this company twentyyears ago and has grown it nationally, selling various food supplies to restaurants and hotels across Canada. Bruce’s Food Supply has over 100 employees, a manufacturing plant, which includes the Head Office that is located in Langley, BC

Bruce calls you into his office, and says, “I have a task for you to do immediately. I need you to write an email to all staff about the changes to our benefits program with Manulife Canada.”

You grab your note pad and pen and ask “Okay, when do you want the email sent out?”

Jim says, “Later today. Here are the major changes to the benefits program and policies. The Extended Health program that covers prescription drugs will drop from 100% coverage to 80%.”

You reply, “That’s not going to be popular. What does this mean?”

Jim says “When an employee gets a prescription for a prescribed medicine from the doctor, the employee has to pay for it first at the pharmacy and submits receipts to get reimbursed. In the old program, the whole amount of the prescription drug is covered. Now, the plan covers only 70 percent.”

You say, “Oh? So, it will cost more for employees under this new benefits program.”

Jim replies “Yes. We are losing money and the cost for these benefits have dramaticallyincreased over the past three years.”

Jim adds, “Our Dental Plan has changed too. The amount of coverage has decreased for major dental procedures such as braces and root canals. Minor coverage that involves teeth maintenance, such as cleaning and check up, drops to 75% from 100%.”

You respond, “Staff are not going to be happy! They will be paying more.”

Jim pauses, slumps his head as if disappointed, and responds “I know. I need to cut expenses. I simply have no other choice. Please try and communicate this to staff in the most positive way you can. Ultimately, this benefit expense is cutting into our bottom line since our staff members are aging more and becoming more dependent on the benefits program. Along with the fact that more people have families, unlike you who is still young and just graduated from BCIT. “Jim pauses, then adds, “Oh I nearly forgot. You also need to explain that I cut the international travel insurance for staff as I found out that staff were not using this benefit. However, I added a new program called the Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for all staff.”

You respond “What is that?

Jim says, “It is a counselling support hotline for staff members to call when they are facing any emotional, mental, financial, and family situations and they need to talk to someone about privately. It is available to staff 24 hours and 7 days per week. It is confidential and private. It is like having a counsellor who can talk to each staff privately by phone”

“That’s great news”

Jim says, “There are no additional costs to staff for EAP. Do you have any questions?”

You briefly look over your notes, then ask, “Do you want to review my email before I send it out?”

Jim says, “No, I trust you. Just send it directly to the staff, and please get it out as soon as possible.”

You say, “OK. I will get it done now.”

Jack loaned his friend Nill $29,000 three years ago. Nill signed a note and made payments on the loan. Last year, when the remaining balance was $26,100, Nill filed for bankruptcy and notified Jack that he would be unable to pay the balance on the loan. Jack treated the $26,100 as a nonbusiness bad debt. Last year, before considering the tax implications of the nonbusiness bad debt, Jack had capital gains of $10,440 and taxable income of $35,000. During the current year, Nill paid Jack $23,490 in satisfaction of the debt. Determine Jack's tax treatment for the $23,490 received in the current year. The nonbusiness bad debt of $26,100 would have been reported as a short-term capital loss, and $_________ would be included in Jack's gross income.

Which of the following statements is not an accurate description of epidemiologic studies using large group data such as National Hospital Discharge Survey or National Health Interview Survey?

a. Data are usually gathered for fiscal and administrative purposes; they may not be well suited for scientific research.
b. Because the data sets exist at the time the research is initiated, analysis can be completed and results generated relatively rapidly.
c. Given the large data sets used, sample size is usually considered a major problem.
d. When necessary variables or questions are absent, the investigators may consciously or subconsciously change the research questions.
e. The advantage of using large data sets is that the data refer to real-world populations; the issue of representativeness is minimized.

Build a html form (making use of CSS and Javascript) with the following elements. The form must have validations and within a table format.


Name: a text box where the content must start with 1 upper case characters and no special character (i.e. !, @, #, $, %, &, *). Number is not allowed. The text box must not be empty.
Module code: a text box where the content must start with 3 lower case alphabets and follows by 4 digits where the first digit cannot be zero. This textbox can be empty.
Current date: a non-editable textbox and should be in the format as shown (e.g. 12 October 2020 Monday 05:35 PM)
Number of weeks till end of the year: a label showing the total number of weeks from now till 31st Dec 2020. (e.g. 17 days is 2 weeks and 3 days)
Source language: a selection list with English, Chinese, Malay, Indonesian, Japanese and Korean. Use English as the default.
Target language: a radio button with English, Chinese, Malay, Indonesian, Japanese and Korean. Make Japanese as the default.
Source language content: a text area with 3 rows and 20 columns. The default text is “Hello testing”. The text area cannot be empty.
Find text: a text box for the user to key in text he/she wants to find.
Replacement text: a text box for the user to key in the replacement text. If the find text is empty, this element should be disable (i.e. user cannot key in anything here).
Find and replace button: when click, it will find the occurrence of the “find text” in the source language text area and replace it with the “replacement text”. If either find text or replacement text is empty, this button is disable. After the replacement, a message showing the number of replacements must be displayed besides the button.
Submit button: the button is called “Google Translate”. When it is clicked, it should invoke the google translate https://translate.google.com to perform the translation.
Reset button: this will reset the content of all the elements.


All validation error messages must be italic and in red colour and besides the html element. You are free to rearrange all the html elements into logic group and sequence.

Write a method that will accept a 2D character array. The 2D array represents a grid (table) of characters in which a triple may occur. A triple is 3 matching characters. This method will search through the array to determine whether or not it contains a set of 3 matching characters. Specifically, it will check to see if the 3 matching characters appear somewhere in the array as three adjacent characters either horizontally (left to right) or vertically (top to bottom). You should NOT consider diagonals. If a set is found, stop searching and return the character in the set, if no set is found throw the SetNotFoundException and provide an appropriate message.

You may either write your answer in the space provided or upload a PDF containing your solution.

Examples:
For the following array a search will result in a triple being found and returning the character C:

For the following array a search will result in a triple being found and returning the character B:

For the following array a search will result in a triple NOT being found and throwing the SetNotFoundException:

/**
Searches the character grid for the appearance of a set of 3 identical characters, horizontally or vertically.
@param searchGrid The 2D character array in which the search will occur.
@return The character that was in the set.
@throws SetNotFoundException if the searchGrid does not contain a set of exactly 3 matching characters.
*/
public static char setSearchChar(char[][] searchGrid) throws SetNotFoundException {
