SCENARIO QUESTION
Imagine that you are an occupational health and safety consultant. You have been hired to improve worker productivity and safety at ISON foundation Zambia Limited, a telecom company. The people who work there have been suffering painful strain and repetitive stress injuries from working long hours at their cubicles/ workstations. Specifically, employees have been experiencing wrist pain, eye and shoulder strain. Some employees have quit their jobs and therefore resulting in a high employee turnover rate. TASK You are to design a visual presentation which incorporates tips for correcting common workstation problems and preventing repetitive strain injuries. Your write-up must include the following: • A concise definition of computer ergonomics and work ergonomics • At least four repetitive stress injuries that can be caused by using a computer incorrectly, your search should encompass answers to a. What is the disorder or the injury? b. How is it caused? • Ergonomic computer hardware items as well as workstation ergonomic items. With prices and descriptions to the parts of the body the item is supporting. Make sure the items that you display are rephrased and not cut and pasted from any website. You must include pictures of the hardware and ergonomic equipment and arrange the pictures attractively with tittles/labels for each picture, keep in mind your target group when selecting these items (could be in table format). • A picture of a properly designed ergonomic work station (What each employee work station should look like), with a description of proper positioning of a user at the workstation. Note: Descriptions should be easy for even a primary school pupil to understand. You should be creative in your writeup, imagine that you are making a proposal to the target company, and your presentation should follow a systematic flow. Please include proper work that is cited with proper references. Be sure to add a tittle on the cover page in line with the task in hand, REMEMBER, be creative. Your write up should not be more than 5 pages, as most of it will include the pictures.

In the Stack Module I gave you a project that shows how to create a Stack using doubly linked nodes.
StackWithDoublyLinkedNodes.zip
It is a template class that needs the Node class. You must use this same Node class (no alterations) to create a Queue class .
public class Queue <T>{
}
Use the NetBeans project above as an example.
I have put a driver program (q1.java) in the module. Also here: q1.java This driver program should then run with your Queue class (no modifications allowed to the driver program).
Your Queue class should have at least the following methods: one or more constructors, enqueue, dequeue, peek, isEmpty, size, makeEmpty.
MUST INCLUDE:
Template Class
constructor
enqueue
dequeue
peek
isEmpty
size
makeEmpty

To be able to code a class structure with appropriate attributes and methods. To demonstrate the concept of inheritance. To be able to create different objects and use both default and overloaded constructors. Practice using encapsulation (setters and getters) and the toString method.
Create a set of classes for various types of video content (TvShows, Movies, MiniSeries). Write a super or parent class that contains common attributes and subclasses with unique attributes for each class. Make sure to include the appropriate setter, getter methods and toString to display descriptions in a nicely formatted output. In addition to default constructors, define overloaded constructors to accept and initialize class data. When using a default constructor, use the setter from the main program to set values. Use a static variable to keep track of the number of objects in the video library. Display the number of items prior to listing them.
Data for movies should contain attributes for the title, release date, genre, studio, and streaming source (Netflix, Prime or Hulu).
Data for TvShow should contain the title, genre (same as others), date of the first episode, number of seasons, network, and running time.
Data for MiniSeries should include attributes for title, genre (same as others), number of episodes, running time, lead actor or actress.
Create a main driver class to create several objects of each type of video content. Use examples of both the default and overloaded constructors. Then display your complete video library with all fields.
All required variables are members of the class. Appropriate use of access specifiers. Encapsulation is implemented with setters and getters. Code is well structured and commented. Code meets standard Java conventions.
There is a default (no-arg) constructor, and an overloaded constructor for each video type. Objects created all have appropriate data content. A static variable is implemented and correctly counts objects created.
Methods are established in the class for all appropriate setters and getters. Inheritance is properly demonstrated with appropriate attributes, methods, and object instantiation.
The VideoLibrary class properly creates all the required objects and displays the entire video library with the number of items and all the data content in a nicely formatted output.

this week we are studying Flowcharting and the different ways in
which they can be useful for accounting information systems.
Present in your words an overview of the benefits and uses of
Flowcharts. If you were a new employee of a company, how could the
use of Flowcharts help you understand the systems of the
organization?
Note:Could you please don't use your handwriting to answer this question to be easy for me to solve...Thanks

New to C programming and I am stuck. The program will print "no input" if no input is given. If a command line argument is given the program will print "input:" followed by the user input. Below is the code I put together to do as desired but I get errors. What do I need to fix to get my code to compile correctly?
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main ()
{
char input;
scanf("%c", &input);
if (input == NULL)
{
printf("no input");
}
else
{
printf("input:",input);
}
return 0;

The angular position of a point on the rim of a rotating wheel is given by θ = 3.38t - 2.46t2 + 2.61t3, where θ is in radians and t is in seconds. What are the angular velocities at (a) t = 1.17 s and (b) t = 9.53 s? (c) What is the average angular acceleration for the time interval that begins at t = 1.17 s and ends at t = 9.53 s? What are the instantaneous angular accelerations at (d) the beginning and (e) the end of this time interval?
