Women's involvement in physical activity and sports was often limited due to medical rhetoric that associated women's reproductive systems with weakness and fragility. What are some examples of this found in this week's lecture and reading. What impact does this history of medical/reproductive barriers still have on girls and women today? These early held beliefs about human reproduction still influences our language today - "that person has balls" versus "that person is a pussy" has opposite meanings where the male reproductive system is associated with strength while the female reproductive system is associated with weakness. Are there other examples of how this thinking impacts our lives perhaps without us realizing it until now?

1. What makes up an external audit?

Problem 01: GroceryCalculator

Write a program to calculate the cost of a list of grocery items. It includes one attribute: totalCost. It includes five user-defined methods:

• getItemName which asks the user to type an item name and returns the name of the item. It returns a string.
• getItemPrice which asks the user to type the price for an item and returns the price, which return a double.
• getItemQuantity which asks the user to type how many of the item they want to buy and returns an integer variable.
• getTotalGrocery, which calls the above three methods. Inside this method, use a while loop to allow the user to enter more items. The user may type "q" to quit typing more items. In this method, calculate the total cost of all the grocery items and save the result to the class attribute totalCost,
• getTotalCost, which return the total cost of all the grocery items.
• The main method calls two methods: getTotalGrocery and getTotalCost. In this method, print the total cost.

Problem 02: Dog

• Create a class Dog, add name, breed, age, color as the attributes. You need to choose the right types for those attributes.
• Create a constructor that requires no arguments. In this constructor, initialize name, breed, age, and color as you wish.
• Define a getter and a setter for each attribute.
• Define a method toString to return a String type, the returned string should have this information:

“Hi, my name is Lucky. I am a Chiwawa. I am 3 years old, and my color is white.”

• Create a main method. In the main method, create a Dog type object and call setters to set its attributes. Print this object using System.out.println().

Type down (easy to copy and paste) your thoughts (ie, agree or disagree and why ? ) after reading the following paragraph. (must be 5 sentences, 1 paragraph. 150-250 words)

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?
