I think in certain cases, that trying your best is good enough and that perfection in itself is relative to other people. You gage how perfect something is or how perfect you think you are to other people. I think that perfection is something you work towards that you don't necessarily achieve unless you tell yourself it's perfect, and at that point it's really settling for the best possible thing. I disagree with Bower that people are scared of failure, which is why they don't pursue perfection, I think people are completely able to handle losses, because these losses make them better, but it's the fact that they are appeased by other people that it is good enough. You need to have the mind set that even if you tried your best, it is not good enough unless you have the results. I'm not saying that we should just look at results, but the process is also important and needs to be considered too.

Innovation comes from making mistakes, from the lack of fear to do anything except push forward. They key thing is to strive, but I think Bowers did a terrible job of making that point because I just thought the whole time he was belittling people's effort. I feel even if you don't get the results you want, you put in the effort, it isn't perfect but you shouldn't settle. Bowers just came off as somebody who was asking fro a lot and full of himself and a bit of an over-exaggeration. I think that we should definitely push for perfection where it matters, like driving cars, although that's more like a constant vigilance kind of thing, making credit cards, things of life and death.

There are many disasters and unfortunate occurrences that can all trace back to one possibly even small mistake. Events like these seem so incredulous to have been started by one person’s fault, but they do. Besides technological advancement, in the last few decades or so, I feel there has been a decrease in efficiency and productivity in our generation. Everyone is aware of how this current generation is the “every kid gets a trophy” generation, and I think that in an attempt to avoid flying too close to the sun, we have lost focus in actually carrying out exemplary work.

Bowers explains that “failure is a natural stepping stone” and that if we strive for perfection and fail on the way, we still should not stray from that path (Bowers, 2017). I feel that people may be scared by the word perfection for perfection literally means the absolute best. It may seem confusing how to know what is perfect or understand if something you have done is the best you can do. However, I think the heart if Bowers’s argument is in the word strive. If you have the mentality to be perfect or at least be determined to stay on a path towards perfection, I think you could find better results. Aside from the numbers, Bowers points out how 99% still results in mistakes which is exactly the reason why perfection is vital. Of course, there is no tangible measure of perfection for anything always has room for improvement. However, even starting with the mentality that something could always be improved would at least force you to continue working and creating new and better changes. I think this is the what it means to strive for perfection, and if everyone had the same perception, I do believe we would see many less errors in today’s world.

Please answer in JAVA

I am using java.time.Duration class.

1.). How can I add all of the given duration time?

for example:

Duration t1 = Duration.ofMinutes(2).plusSeconds(30)

Duration t2 = Duration.ofMinutes(3).plusSeconds(20)

then the result would be total = Duration.ofMinutes(5).plusSeconds(50)

*** and how would it be if it exceeds 59 minutes and its an hour.

2). How would I be able to add it all up on an ArrayList? does a for loop and simple add() works?

You have been asked to design a web page for a local business or organization (choose one from your local community). Go to www.flickr.com or www.1StopPictures.com and choose a visual to illustrate the website by trying to match the personality of the organization to a visual image. Then, identify the primary categories of information that need to be included on the page. Develop a flow chart or map that shows how a typical user would navigate through the site. What other image could you find that might be used on inside pages to provide some visual interest to this business’s online image? Now consider interactivity: How could this site be used to increase interactivity between this company and its customers?

You have been tasked to write a C# application that will go through the first step of encrypting an input file and writing the encrypted contents to an output file.

For this first step in encryption, read each letter in from the input file, add 3 letters to the value of the input letter. If the input letter is an A then the encrypted letter would be a D. If the input letter from the input file is an X then the encrypted letter would be an A.
All spaces, digits, punctuation, and special characters do not need to be encrypted at this level.   Simply write the space, punctuation, or special character to the output file as is.
If a letter is uppercase in the input file, it should remain as an uppercase character in the output file. If a letter is lowercase in the input file, it should remain as a lowercase character in the output file.

Since this program runs each month, the input file will be of various lengths; therefore, the program will read until end of file.

The input file is found in the current directory and is named October20.txt.   The output file will be written to the current directory and named EncryptOct20.txt.

An example:

If the contents of the input file is

The output file would be:

What the user should see when the program executes:


When the program begins, the statement "Encryption Level 1" should be displayed.
The focus should be set to the "Begin Encryption" button.
When the user clicks the "Begin Encryption" button, the program opens the input file, the statement "Opening input file...." should be displayed. The "Begin Encryption" button should be disabled.
When the program begins reading through the input file encrypting the contents, the statement "Encrypting input file...." should be displayed.
When the program closes the input and output files, the statement "Encryption complete...." should be displayed.
When the program is complete, the statement "End of process" should be displayed.

If you were running Coca Cola, would you acquire La Croix to capture market share or grow organically?

After your successful engagement to develop privacy and personal data protection strategies for DAS, you have been engaged by the Department of Health (DoH) to advise on the development of privacy and data protection for CovidSafe users. DoH expect up to 16 million Australian mobile users to download and use this app. DoH have announced that they will be using a major U.S. based public cloud provider to host the CovidSafe data, but claim that the data will always be under Australian Government control.

You are to provide a report to DoH that:

1. Discusses the possible threats and risks to the security of user data on mobile phones, and in linked Cloud and financial accounts from the use of the CovidSafe app.
2. Discusses the possible threats to the privacy of a user's data, location and activities from the use of the CovidSafe app.
3. Discusses the issues of data sovereignty that may apply to the storage of CovidSafe data in U.S. based Cloud storage.
4. You are to recommend that DoH adopt:
   1. Possible security controls that would prevent the loss or breach of user data, while still enabling effective tracking for COVID-19, and the reasons these controls will be effective.
   2. Possible privacy controls to protect user privacy, particularly of data, location and activity, while still enabling effective tracking of COVID-19, and the reasons these controls will be effective.
   3. Possible controls to ensure that the CovidSafe data remains under Australian data sovereignty and control, and the reasons these controls will be effective.

First, you will need to conduct research to identify two public organizations that have recently, or are currently, negotiating a conflict. Be sure there are newspaper articles or other resources that sufficiently document both sides of the conflict. Remember that when generating alternative solutions, the parties to a negotiation must both actively participate in the conflict resolution, so make sure you are able to identify documentation related to the efforts of negotiation coming from both sides the conflict. Watch for emotions, personality, and bias that may result in a party’s inability or unwillingness to listen or accept alternative solutions to a problem.

After sufficiently researching the conflict you will need to choose one side of the conflict you would like to represent. You will then need to create an Integrative Negotiation Planning Strategy for the party you are representing based on the facts of the conflict identified.

After you have completed your Integrative Negotiation Planning Strategy, summarize the conflict and proposed alternate solution. Be sure to describe the conflict.

1. Identify the side that you have chosen.  
2. What would be be your BATNA if the negotiation breaks down?
3. What are your most important interests, ranked in order?
4. What is the other side’s BATNA and what is its interests?
5. Does each side have any interests that may be mutual?
6. What value may be created for resolving the conflict?
7. Identify any emotions, personality, and bias you observed in the conflict and how that affected negotiation.
