Document Summary

During group interactions, the scientists were forced to use metaphors and analogies to communicate their ideas. The idea of re-evaluating assumptions proved essential to solving problems. The scientists were also pushed to think like intellectuals: give an example where someone you know "saw only what they wanted to see" when interpreting something that happened in their life. An experience i had where someone saw only what they wanted to see when interpreting a situation in their life was when my grandfather lost his flashlight. Most people would consider this a trivial issue, but to my grandfather it was the end of the world. My grandfather had left his flashlight on the kitchen counter and walked back to his office to sort through his mail. Suddenly, i hear my grandfather yelling and cursing because his flashlight was stolen. It was almost certain to him that he had left it on his desk, and that someone had taken it.

The Giza Zoo is one of the biggest and oldest zoos in the Middle East zoological gardens. The Giza Zoo administration has come up with some efforts to improve the zoo conditions to give zoo-visitors new experiences during their visit. The zoo administration wants to implement an interactive information point/ kiosk where visitors would use a menu to select information about animals. The menu includes 500 different animals. The information is provided only using high-definition video with an audio track.

Which computer hardware device(s) would you recommend/ be best used as an interactive information point for the zoo.
State reasons why you chose a) above.
What type of input device does the selected device use?
Provide TWO (2) advantages of display devices.
Mention THREE (3) disadvantages of using this device.
Name TWO (2) other types of input devices that make use this type of device.
Mention TWO (2) jobs that can benefit from using interactive whiteboards. Explain each of your answers.

You have been contracted by a popular fitness club to create a Java Program that
will help in the input, calculation, display of calories burnt and pounds lost during a week of
workout for members of the club.
The program will also base on the amount of weight lost update the weight of the user and
calculate and display the users BMI – body mass index using any researched method. See an
example here- http://www.whathealth.com/bmi/formula.html
The club takes part in 5 major types of activities, namely walking, running, swimming, hiking,
and bicycling.
The program is to prompt for the Name of the member, gender, weight in pounds, height and
the time spend on each activity during the week in minutes.
The program will then calculate the calories burnt per activity, the total calorie burnt for the
week and the amount of weight lost during the week.
The amount of weight loss will be used to update the weight that was stored in the array and
calculate the person BMI . http://www.whathealth.com/bmi/formula.html
Activity Calorie Burnt Per pound per minute for
men (women are 1/6 less)
Walking .036
Running .095
Swimming .058
Hiking .058
Bicycling .044
 Calories burned per pound per minute (Bicycling – .044) x (times) your exact weight
(140 pounds) = (equals) total calories burned per minute (6.16 calories burned per
minute) x(times)minutes of activity (30 minutes) = (equals) 184.80 total calories
burned per activity.
 Women burn 1/6 less calories than Men.
 3500 calories = 1 pound of weight loss.
Author: Dexter Chin-Yan
Write a program that would do the following:
 Print a suitable heading and prompt for the required information
 Calculate the necessary required information and store in an Array(s)
o After members names, gender, weight in pounds and time spent in each
activity has been entered (10 Members) The program should calculate the
total calories burnt Total Calorie Burnt for the week and the amount of
weight loss (depending on whether it is a man or a woman.
o Calculate and display BMI and weight status based on the table above.
General Guidelines:
 Make use of appropriate messages to make you program as informative and user
friendly as possible, without being unnecessarily complex.
 Keep user interactions simple and instructions clear
 Use adequate documentation and proper indentation to clarify your program code
where necessary and improve layout
 Pay attention to good structure and use of programming constructs.
Evaluation
 Documentation and layout (spacing, indentation and commenting) 10 marks
 Proper layout of interface for input, output of information 10 marks
 Use of method to calculate, BMI, calories burnt per activity, and weight loss.
20 marks
 Creation and use of arrays to hold and processed information 20 marks
 Working program (Correctness, efficiency, user interaction)
