Wireless Data Entry System Analysis

Wireless Data Entry System Analysis Grand Wine Limited is a dealer to supply various types of Wine through sales representatives around 400 independent wine and liquor store in the state. Through sales representatives they collect data and information about the requirement of delivery of Wines to the customers by shipment. Device which is able to store data or pass the data wireless to remote server is wireless data entry device. This is a very popular device in todays market for data entry system. In the market there are various wireless data entry devices available but we have to select such particular device which is affordable as well as can cover our task requirement. Since our sales representatives are suffering some problems with data transferring from client to our head office which is taking time and more effort, we are going to implement a wireless data entry system so that with out loosing time and loosing any data out representatives can contact to head office easily. For this process we require a remote server located in our head office and wireless data entry device for each representative so that they can connect to companys central database in Sydney. Sales representatives can collect data from various retailers in Sydney and pass the data to server in no time so that it saves time, eff ort, travelling cost as well. Through this process there is very less chance of data loss because data storage system by humans can create human errors but this system directly stores data in device as well as server. Sales representatives can double their work as they dont have to come back and through to store data and send sent it to central data base. In fact it will reduce cost by reducing faxing and phone call which can be benefited to company for long term. 1.2.2 Wireless data entry system and its function As we know the term wireless means with out use of wire, so wireless data entry system will utilize wireless technology to receive and send data from server. As per networking principle we will be using a remote server which will be located in the company central data base office Sydney. Each sales representative will be provided with each particular wireless data entry device to perform their task. We will be using a device called SPT 1800 as our wireless data entry device. SPT 1800 is a portable wireless device which uses palm operating system. It has got wireless WAN, Bluetooth and WWAN functions to connect to server. As it has barcode reader capacity also representatives can easily find the details of product by scanning and sending to server so it minimises the data loss or error. Being a portable device staffs can collect data in any place and any time and send it to main server in Sydney. 1.3 Justification- Wireless Data entry system and important features for Grand Wines Limited- The wireless data entry system implementation on Grand Wines Limited can be very beneficial in various aspects. When wires data entry system is used first thing is company can cut few staff that was doing processing of data to and fro by fax, email, and phone or by post. There will be no time delay to send data from representatives to company office do start the business. Company can save huge amount of money on use of fax and post as well. When wireless technology is implemented there is no more need to fax the data or email data or post data. In other hand the time frame of data transfer is also slow with current system thats why company is not able to do proper business. There is wastage of time between a representative send data to Company office and they again respond back. In fact when a store is running out of particular type of Wine today, the representative can collect data and send to Central office so it takes some time or day so that company gets order and place shipment of product. In this way company is delaying its delivery. But with wireless data entry system a representative can contact or send required data to Central database system so it takes no time to implement the work in time. So it seems more effective and profitable for Grand Wines Limited in overall view. 2. Business case study for Grand Wine Limited in wireless data entry system project- Grand Wine Limited has realised various demerits of recent data entry system which directly or indirectly caused loos to company. As the management of this company decided to change the recent data entry system with new market demand, they have planned to implement wireless data entry system in the company. 20 sales representatives, who are collecting various data like stock needed from various retailers, can send the data instantly to Sydney based head office so company can do delivery quicker. So company can go ahead with other business competitors as well increase their business more. 2.1 Business Objectives- For Grand Wine Limited the implementation of this wireless data entry system will ultimately leads to business growth and profit. This technology will decrease the delay time for the stock delivery to retailers so company can cope with market demand properly without loosing customers. 2.2 SWOT Analysis- 2.2.1 Strength: As the delay in delivery time will be reduced from company to retailers, this technology will directly increase the sales and make customer happy. All sales representatives can communicate to company for stock delivery, stock available and other important data in no time so it can save company other cost like faxing, telephone, etc using wireless technology. 2.2.2 Weakness- Use of wireless system may reduce the directly contact of sales representatives to Main Delivery Office like phone and fax which can be cause for some misunderstanding between deliveries. In the time of network error there might be problem for transferring data, which can lead to loss of some data as well as delay in delivery. 2.2.3 Opportunities- Implementation of this wireless system will save the time of sales representatives to go and through the received data in-order to send the data to Central Office for implementation. So that sales representatives can go and collect more data in same time and process the data to Company. And also Sales representatives can know when the stock is arriving or any further details needed to be collected which can save lots of time as well as money for like transportation and communication. They can process data 24/7 so there is very less chance to be delayed for stock delivery. 2.2.4 Threats- Company might need to hire a server supervisor which can increase company cost. As there is no physically contact between sales representatives between companies after implementing wireless system every data will be transferred by wireless technology, so there is more threats that data errors may occur like sales representative may order certain item by mistake but still company will send the delivery which may cost extra for company. 3. Project Charter- Project title- Wireless data entry system Start date of project-01/01/2011 Finish date of project-01/06/1011 Budget- Available budget for project is $100,000 Project Manager- Om Ghimire, 0401782576, [emailprotected] Objective of the project- Wireless data entry system and its use in Grand Wine Limited is to decrease the loss of time between sending and receiving data from sales representatives (who collect data from various retailers) to head supply office for the required shipment of the needed product on time.

Essay --

There are three regulatory agencies in the United States that manage GE crops: the United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) through its Biotechnology Regulatory Services (BRS) Division; The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA); and Health and Human Services’ Food and Drug Administration (FDA). APHIS-BRS protects agriculture and the environment by evaluating genetically-engineered (GE) products that present a potential plant pest risk and supervises field testing. The EPA has responsibility for GE plants that raise pest management or pesticide issues protects the environment and food safety of GE plants that contain pesticidal proteins (the Bacillus thuringiensis delta-endotoxin [Bt]), and FDA assures that food and feed derived from GE plants is safe. The processes that each agency has developed for regulatory review vary according to each agency’s mandate and the intended use of the product (Goldner, Thr o & Radin, 2004). To consider deregulation of a plant product, APHIS-BRS requires submission of data to demonstrate that release of a GE plant into the environment will not present a plant pest risk. The FDA evaluates data on the characteristic components of the food or feed in the form in which the product will be eaten to ensure that new products are safe as the foods that are currently on the market. The other essential economic barrier identified by all participants is overseas regulation. Most of the specialty products have export markets, and the lack of regulatory standardization around the world generates incredible costs, inefficiencies, and worries (Goldner, Thro & Radin, 2004). During the Clinton administration, the top scientists at the FDA included Susan Sech... ...uce exclusive materials or materials with quality traits that set them apart from their competitors and bring a higher price.

This Cody

â€Å"This Cody† Comparison Essay â€Å"What I wanted, I know now, was just to say our son’s name out loud. The crisp â€Å"c† and the rolling â€Å"o† and the slight flick of the tongue for the â€Å"dy†Ã¢â‚¬  (Anderson 5). This quote comes from the story â€Å"This Cody† by Lauri Anderson. It states how the narrator misses being able to say her sons name for he died not too long ago because he was kidnapped in a park. The husband feels as though his wife is a shame to him and she believes that the reason he does not look at her the same anymore is because the son looked exactly like her.Every time he looks at her face he sees his son and misses him so much. Although the author talks about many different types of scenes that the wife talks about in this story, Lauri Anderson portrays the narrator as a static character. I say she is a fixed character because her beliefs stay the same throughout the entire passage. For instance, she thinks t he dam is going to break constantly, she thinks her husband does not love her anymore because it was her fault for their son dying and also she tells the cops three bold face lies about her son.The narrator has dreams about the dam breaking throughout the entire short story. In these dreams, the author has the narrator use imagery to describe her dreams and how intense they were. For example, â€Å"I have dreams about it. They all start the same way. We wake to water two inches deep and the dogs whining, backed into their corners. All night we sweep the water out, but by morning, we’re wading waist-deep in the cold, fishless shallows, filling our buckets† (Anderson 4).The river that used to go through their neighborhood is not being stopped by the dam and the wife gives the river and the dam human characteristics, which is personification, and says that the river is mad and wants to destroy everything that is now in its path. â€Å"What I have learned is that when the river returns, it won’t be the same river. All that time pushing against a wall will make you desperate. All that time, you won’t care about this tidy home or that. If you are the river, you will say, show me a thing I can’t destroy, and if you are the dam, and you are tired of pushing back, you will secretly want to let go† (Anderson 6-7).The narrator also says â€Å"Sometimes I can hear a humming that seems to come from two places at once: from far down the creek and also somewhere inside me, as if the dam is as much aware of me as I am of it. As if I need only to step onto the porch and open my arms† (12). This is an example of personification. The wife thinks that the dam knows as much about her as she knows about the dam. She thinks that the dam is going to spill all of her secrets and make everything worse than what it is now between her husband and herself.The dam is also an example of a symbol because it represents the relationship between the wife and the husband. â€Å"The dam is holding back every drop it was built to contain. Its concrete walls are eight feet thick. It is designed to collapse in and not out† (Anderson 16). All of the lies that she told the police and her husband are hidden behind the dam and the moment that the dam breaks is the moment when the entire world will know that she was selfish. â€Å"I told myself that he was fine, the park was safe. I told myself I deserved a few minutes alone with the sun and with the trees moving overhead† (Anderson 16).She was selfish in thinking that she needed time to rest her eyes in a public place instead of looking out for where her son was and knowing exactly where he was. Instead of thinking he is just in one of his hiding places or sitting on the ground right in front of her, she should have been going everywhere that he went. The wife’s husband did not start getting mad at her and being disgusted with her presence until their son died. The wife lied to the cops three times when their son died so that the blame was not on her and the husband would not leave her. On the day I lost our son, I told three lies. First, I said he had only been missing for fifteen minutes, when it was really more like an hour. Fifteen minutes still sounded hopeful, I thought† (Anderson 6). She thought that the lie would make herself feel better and it did for a while but she eventually started feeling bad about lying to the cops about something that was her fault. â€Å"The second lie I told on that day I lost my son was about a hat. I told the detective he was wearing one-a blue baseball cap with an orange fish on the front.I said this because it was a hot day, nearly ninety degrees in the city, and when we arrived at the park, I saw all of the kids were wearing hats and even tiny pairs of glasses† (Anderson 10-11). The wife did not want to seem like a bad mother because she lost her own son, although later it would be estab lished that she was, so she lied to the cops about her own son wearing a hat and watched the man write it down on his notepad without even flinching or showing regret on her face. There were a number of things that the narrator confesses to the audience about what she did not tell the cops at the end of the story. I’ve never said that I leaned my head back and closed my eyes. I’ve never said that that I’d forgotten my sunglasses, and that the sun threw dappled shadows on my eyelids. No one knows that for maybe half an hour before I faded into sleep, I listened to my son playing nearby with another child, the sound like birds chasing each other in the trees† (Anderson 15). This quote is an example of dramatic irony in that the husband does not know that it was the wife’s fault for their son being kidnapped. We the audience knows that she was the reason that her son was stolen at a park and kidnapped and had God know what done to him.The narrator also uses imagery to show how much the husband changed the way he looked and how different and difficult her life is now that their son died. â€Å"Some days I don’t recognize him. He’s grown out his beard, and the paunch I so lovingly stroked is now all muscle, his abdominals like flat stones stacked atop one another† (Anderson 4). The narrator’s husband changed the way he looked after the death. â€Å"I’m different two. Our dogs, two purebred Heelers Brian insisted we buy to go with our new life, won’t come when I call. The chickens peck my head when I reach for the eggs. The garden dies all at once, overnight.Last night, I found a scorpion on my pillow, his dancer’s arms poised to strike† (Anderson 4). This quote states how much the place that she is living now does not like her and she feels as though they are all out to get her, including her own husband. The author of the story â€Å"This Cody†, Lauri Anderson, uses di fferent types of figurative language and imagery to portray the narrator as a static character. The wife is constantly thinking that the dam is going to break and all of her secrets will be revealed to her husband and the rest of the world and she everyone would know how bad of a mother she is.Throughout the story the narrator believes that her husband does not love her anymore because he blames her for his son’s death. He can not stand to look at her for their son looked exactly like her and every time he looks at her he sees his dead son. Also she continuously tells lies to the police and her husband about their son and what really happened that day at the park when he went missing.

Rhetorical Analysis of Homelessness Essay - 792 Words

A Rhetorical Analysis of Duffield’s â€Å"Should Federal Agencies Use the Same Definition of Homelessness†? A Rhetorical Analysis of Duffield’s â€Å"Should Federal Agencies Use the Same Definition of Homelessness†? The author, Barbara Duffield, Policy Director for National Association for the education of homeless children and youth, writes for CQ Researcher the article â€Å"Should federal agencies use the same definitions of homelessness?† Duffield aims to substantiate that federal agencies, using different definitions of the law create complications. That clear guidelines need defined for establishing what is best for families and youth found in a homeless situation. Justification for changing the definition of†¦show more content†¦By her use of ethos, Duffield establishes her credibility regarding the homeless issues. Duffield uses logos to show why she believes that all federal agencies should use the same definitions for homelessness. The use of research in the article shows â€Å"†¦brain development makes clear that adverse experiences in childho od can have lifelong impacts on physical and mental health.† (2013, para. 7). Duffield makes a clear appeal that homelessness needs addressed to prevent the housing issues with youth, children, and that there are potentially greater risks for the future. She then goes on to show that if the same definition were used by all federal agencies â€Å"†¦then, with these homeless people eligible for assistance, local communities can assess peoples relative needs, considering factors such as income, employability, barriers to housing, illness, disability and childrens developmental delays† (2013, para. 5). By Duffield, using such statements she proves that changes with the law can help in many ways. The use of exhibits shows why she believes that all federal agencies should use the same definitions for homelessness. The author creates pathos by exposing the reader to whom and how conditions impact families and youth. Duffield writes: Who are these families and youths? A parent struggling with mental illness, caring for three young children with significant developmental delays, moving between motels because there are no shelters in the community.

Buddhism and Islam A Comparison - 3045 Words

Buddhism and Islam: A Comparison Abstract In this essay, I have made a comparison between the two most renowned worlds religions i.e. Buddhism and Islam. In the beginning of the essay, I have given a detailed account of Buddhism and Islam to give a basic knowledge regarding the two faiths. In the next part, I have given a comprehensive comparison of the two religions highlighting their similarities and differences. Introduction Two of the most famous and major religions followed by people in the world presently are Buddhism and Islam. Buddhism was founded by Siddhartha Gautama in the 6th century BCE in Northern India whereas Islam was brought in the world by Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in the 7th century CE in Arabia. Both Buddhism and Islam have similarities and differences. The two religions have introduced a new way of life to the people, a light that offers them liberation from bewilderment, perplexity, uncertainty, mystification and disappointment. As far as the level of the faith is concerned, the two religions are rather different. However, when it comes to ethical and moral values, both Islam and Buddhism are exceedingly similar. The most basic difference is that of faith whereby Islam has a quite different definition of religion as compared to what is defined in Buddhism (Kamaruzaman).

The Spiritual Aspect Of A Person Is Crucial Because It

The spiritual aspect of a person is crucial because it is the basis, on which people make decisions that influence the environment they live in and society. Moreover, based on this aspect, a person is provided with guidance to make relevant choices that affect their life and health. Thus, having a healthy spiritual perspective is needed for a person to live in harmony with themselves and the rest of society. Meanings of Spirituality Spirituality has multiples different meanings. People tend to see spirituality as religion, but even though spirituality is the core of religion, spirituality goes beyond religion. They actually show two different facets of the human practice.

Scientism Scientism is a system of making decisions based on methods and experiments proven through research and data analysis. However, research conducted in various hospitals focuses more on their internal environment rather than on patients (Tanja-Dijkstra, 2011). As a result, some of the latter are affected by hospital’s arrangement psychologically, and this lengthens their treatment time. Postmodernism Postmodernism is a societal consideration of various perspectives that may be true for each separate case. Tanja-Dijkstra (2011) notes that the functional delivery of healthcare existed in the past. In this technology era, healthcare services are delivered with the help of machines based on patient-oriented care, not some principles applicable to all cases.

Sports Law for Adam and Taylor Fiduciary Duties - myassignmenthelp

Question: Discuss about theSports Law for Adam and Taylor Fiduciary Duties. Answer: In the Australian Football League (AFL) mostly all players are managed by player agents. In the contemporary period it is not easy to find a player in the AFL who is not managed by an agent. The AFL constitutes big business and in light of the fact that the players laying in the league have a very short career they try to maximize their income during the time they are associated with the league. These players have to live a busy life as not only they have to ensure their competency for the game but also have to handle media, sponsorship, financial management, advertising and public relations. They also have to from time to time indulge in dispute resolution with the management with respect to their playing contract. The handling of these contracts which a player gets into during the time they play in the league requires financial, commercial and legal expertise which evidently the players do not possess. Thus they appoint agents to look after their contracts. These agents have a fidu ciary relationship towards the players. The agents have a duty of undivided loyalty towards their clients as fiduciaries. Thus it is the legal and ethical duty of the agent to put the interest of the client at priority subjected to a few exceptions. However the fiduciary relationship between the agent and the player sometimes creates difficulties and may result in a situation of conflict of interest where the agent manages more than one player of the same league. The purpose of the paper is to critically analyze the duties (including fiduciary duties) which an AFL player agent owes to an AFL player. The paper throws light upon the legal duty of undivided loyalty which an agent has to a player in AFL and which is jeopardized when the agent acts for more than one player and gives rise to a conflict of interest position. The primary duty of a player agent is that of handling various matters which arise during the football career of the player. These include the duty of representing the player in negotiations towards football contracts with the club and therefore having a direct effect on the relationship of the players with the club. It is also the duty of the agent to handle sponsorships and public relations with respect to the players. They also have to look after the guidelines of the collective bargaining agreement which is established between the AFL player association and AFL. The agents may also be involved in handling less obvious areas of the players such as Tax, investment counseling and financial planning. However the primary duty which the agent has of negotiating terms of the contract between the player and the club. All agents have to get AFLPA accreditation through which they acknowledge their fiduciary duties towards the players[1]. Fiduciary duties According to Lewis, Adam, and Taylor fiduciary duties are those duties of loyalty and good faith which is owed by a person in a fiduciary relationship to others because of the reliance and trust placed by the other persons on them[2]. Thus an agent owes fiduciary duties towards the principles as they place great deal of trust and confidence on them[3]. Therefore the existing relationship between the players and the agents makes the players the principal and the player agents the agent. The player agents therefore by the operation of law owe a fiduciary relationship to the players. One of the critical features in relation to a fiduciary relationship as provided by Mason J in the Hospital Products case is that the fiduciary acknowledges acting towards the best interest of the dependents[4]. The nature of the relationship between the agent and the principal provides adequate powers to the fiduciary to exploit those who have placed their trust on them. The other person is thus at the mer cy of the fiduciary and evidently it is the obligation of the fiduciary to discharge their duties in such a way as they are in the best interest of the person. A duty of undivided loyalty is also owed by the fiduciary to the principle. The agents of the AFL players have a fiduciary obligation towards the players as the players place significant trust on them in relation to the negotiations of contracts with their respective clubs and other responsibilities. However, a fiduciary duty needs to be analyzed and cannot be said to be evidently present even in relation to the accepted categories (such as Lawyer-client or Doctor-patient). Determination of fiduciary duties is done through the help of analyzing any course of dealing, factual circumstances or subsisting agreement between the parties as provided in the case of News Ltd v Australian Rugby Football League Ltd[5]. It is the legal duty of the player agents to avoid any situation of a conflict of interest which may come up between the interest of the player and person interest. In case such a situation is identified it is the duty of the player agent to ensure that he prioritizes the interest of the player over personal interest. There may be coexistence of contractual and fiduciary relationship between the parties where the foundation of the fiduciary relationship is the contractual relationship. However fiduciary relationship has to be consistent to contractual relationship. In additi on the fiduciary has an 'overriding duty of undivided loyalty' towards the principal[6]. As highlighted by Shropshire, Davis and Duru the obligation of the agent to act in the best interest of one player may contradict with the obligation of the agent to act in the best interest of another player where he may be working for more than one player[7]. This situation is prominent in the AFL where 6 large agent organizations deal with most of the players playing in AFL. In this situation the duty of undivided loyalty is necessarily compromised by the agents as they are not able to properly discharge an obligation without contradicting with the other[8]. Here there is much relevance of the Biblical injunction of Matthew 6:24 which states 'No man can serve two masters.'[9] There are a number of specific duties which 'overriding duty of undivided loyalty' provides to the fiduciary in relation to the principal. This is the duty of avoiding conflict of interest between personal and player interest and the duty to act in best interest of one player vis--vis another player. It is also the duty of the fiduciary to be accountable to the player in relation to any profit which has been made by him due to the position and information provided to him by the player through the agency contract[10]. Thus the player agent cannot make any authorized gains from the agency contract. In case the obligation is not complied with the agents have the duty of providing any additional profit to the player or to compensate them for their losses. The player agents although being entitled to receive commissions from the agency contract, cannot claim that it is not a breach to gain such commission unless the player knows or has authorized the receipt of the commission. As per Matt hew et al., it is the duty to the player agents to obtain express consent or to let the players known about any additional commission received by them through the agency contract[11]. The agents also owe concurrent duties to the AFL player clients and AFL Clubs. Although it does not occur generally there have been a few examples where it has been seen that an agent is acting for an AFL club in a consultative capacity[12]. Thus as the player agents have the duty of negotiating a contract on behalf of the players they cannot let the negotiation be affected by the relationship they have with the clubs where they act as consultants. Specifically, their obligation in relation to consultancy for the clubs must not result in less favorable outcomes for the players in relation their contracts with the clubs. Where the agent acts as a consultant for one club and is negotiating a contract for a player with the same club it is obvious that the duty of undivided interest is being compromised with. Another conflict may also obviously arise where the player agent may persuade the player to transfer from one club to another club for which he works as an agent. Although the trans fer may be for the benefit of the player and for correct reasons there is an obvious situation of conflict of interest. The player agent also owe concurrent duties to all player clients in relation to the negotiation of player contracts. This is arguably the most important work which is undertaken by the agents in relation to the players. The players basic source of income is the playing contract they have with the club. When it comes to AFL all playing contacts are consists of standard term contract as provided through clause 18.1 of the CBA. As provided by Stephen et al., unless the player agent has obtained express consent from the player client he does not have the right to act for another player where there may be a chance for conflict of interest[13]. This does not mean that the agents do not have the right to act for more than one player. This simply signifies that the agent is not allowed to act for two players where the acting for both the players will prompt a conflict between the interests of one player with the interest of the other player. For instance this situation may take place where two players have authorized only one agent to deal with a club where only one of the players can take the desired position. Thus whether there is conflict of interest or not in this situation depends upon the circumstances of the multiple players and the agents. However as stated by Lord Cozens-Hardy in circumstances where a conflict of interest arises, it is the duty of the agents to decline from acting ins situation where the fiduciary duties may be violated[14]. The agent would be held to be in the breach of fiduciary duties where there is a clear conflict and no informed consent or prior agreement with the players whose interest may be in a conflict situation. There is no defense of not having a fraudulent intention in these circumstances which an agent may rely upon. The AFL is a not only a football league but also a serious business and source of income. The income which players earn from the league is the primary source of income for most players. Thus it is the right of the players to expect loyalty from those agents upon whom they have placed their trust and confidence and who owe them a duty of undivided loyalty. The players also have to right to expect that the agents would abide by such trust and duties by giving primary importance to the interest of the players. The players have to demand adherence to and be aware of the duties which is owed by their agents to them. Merely because the agents have received accreditation from the AFLPA, the players cannot ensure that they will not violate their duties owned to the players whether in a deliberate or innocent manner. It is the right of the players to at the very least get disclosure in relation to the activities in which the agents are indulging and which have the potential of undermining the ir personal interest and deviate from the duty of undivided loyalty which is owed by them to the players generally at law. There are requirements of disclosure which is imposed in by the AFLPA on the agents. However the degree to which AFLPA ensures and scrutinizes the adherence of the requirements by the agents has always been in question. The primary question however is what remedy the players can avail when the agents have violated the duty of undivided loyalty owed to the players by them. One of the possibilities is that of the court processes and other equitable requirements. The AFLPA may also use its powers to revoke the accreditation of the player agents. These possibilities have the potential of having significant ramification to the AFL industry and therefore require future examination.
