...Running head: NEW SYSTEM PROPOSAL: REAL TIME LOCATIONS SYSTEM NEW SYSTEM PROPOSAL: REAL TIME LOCATIONS SYSTEM Information Systems Fundamentals CIS 207 February 21, 2013 NEW SYSTEM PROPOSAL: REAL TIME LOCATING SYSTEM Many proposed systems are implemented day to day to complement businesses for their day-to-day operations. Business processes are essential components that help business do multiple functions; inventory tracking, personnel tracking, and financial budgeting management are some of the concepts and protocols that most businesses must implement in their organization in order for it to run smoothly and efficiently. With a bad economy and the rising costs of goods and services, companies must try to cut cost where it is possible while keeping up with demands of the 21st Century. Information Technology (IT) costs are up as well and it is up to the companies to insure that they are utilizing the IT resources to the fullest. "Many organizations find that they have some software titles that are out of compliance [with licensing agreements], while others are being underutilized” (Johnson, 2012). The new system that we are proposing to Riordan, we are confident that it will not be underutilized and that the company gets full use and potential out of this system. Real Time Locating System (RTLS) is what we are proposing to Riordan. We will be discussing aspects of this system in detail that will talk about some of the components, how information will be...

...December 2013 The Mysterious Disappearance of Locke and Demosthenes Ender’s Game is a well known science-fiction genre book that is most popular with the young-adult reader demographic. The novel was published in 1985 and written by the American author Orson Scott Card (Card). The official website of Orson Scott Card states that Ender’s Game was the winner of both the Nebula and Hugo awards for best novel in 1985 and 1986, respectively (OSC). In November of 2013 the movie adaption was released to the public with a runtime of one hour and fifty-four minutes and was met with mixed reviews garnishing only a “74% fresh” on the movie critics site rottentomatoes.com (Rotten). Like many books that are adapted into movies, fans and critics usually side with the book being a better portrayal of the story than the movie version. Dennis Schwartz, a movie critic from Ozus' World Movie Reviews, expresses his views on the comparison between the movie and book by writing, “Might have worked as a clever thought-provoking read, on film it's a drag” (Schwartz). This common occurrence of the book being better than the movie can be easily explained by remembering that a movie should usually stay around the two hour time mark and that money is a big factor in adapting a book. The major differences between the book and the movie are that Ender’s timeline is completely changed, Ender is portrayed to be a more likable character, and that the cutaways back to Earth with Ender’s siblings Peter and Valentine...

...My name is XXX and this is my 3rd year at DMAC. I am currently pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts with my concentration and focus being advertising. DMAC is great for students that want to focus on digital art, fine art, and animation and video production. Classes tend to be smaller in size and most of the teacher’s actually work in the field, which I think is crucial for student to get a real world outlook. At DMAC my recommendation would be to have class on teaching students how to professionally critique fellow classmates work and how to handle criticism of their own work. Most classes require students to present their assignments or projects to the entire class and students are encouraged to give their opinions and thoughts on the presented work. This is where I’ve noticed that many students struggle or fall short. Many are afraid to comment on others work, either because that is their friend or because they feel if they say something that isn’t boosting the presented work then others would do the same when it comes to his or her turn. Students need to able to give constructive criticism in a professional manner and not be concerned about it sounding harsh or “I did not want to hurt his/her feelings”. In the real world being able to criticize presented artwork or design work in the right manner is very important as it shows knowledge in the topic and being able to make one understand where him or her can get better. The same goes for accepting criticism. I experienced...

...Baldonado 1 Joseph D. Baldonado Professor Jenia De Silva, M.Ed NAV 501 16 March 2016 Is Criticism Beneficial? In every part of the organization, there will always be criticism involved from someone else whether that criticism is regarding business, politics, sports and among others. Most of the time people consider criticism in a negative aspect since it usually creates anger, resentment, frustration and among others to the one who usually received the criticism. Therefore, whenever we receive criticism from someone else, we immediately create an unfavorable outcome towards that person. But did you know that not all criticisms are harmful or produced a negative consequence; in fact, it would still be beneficial to the person who received the criticism? There are two types of criticism namely constructive and destructive criticism. Constructive criticism is the one that intends only to give feedback for improvement/suggestion whether positive or negative about a particular product, service or event/performance. On the contrary, destructive criticism does not intend to give feedback for improvement/suggestion to someone else’s work but rather it intends to harm someone’s feelings by giving direct insult to his/her work or personality. Both types of criticism can be beneficial; it just depends on how it was handled by someone else when the situation arises. The criticism if properly managed can give several benefits to someone who usually received...

...Critics often have the problem of praising movies in the moment and reacting without the benefit of time passing. We are tasked with grading or assigning a star rating to a movie, with only a couple of days consideration. So, we throw A's, B's, and F's, as well as 5 stars, 4 stars, and/or 1 stars out with glee, accomplishing what is, quite frankly, the least favorite part of any film critic's job. So, let's talk about Christopher Nolan, Dunkirk, and your humble writer's self-created quandary. Nolan is a filmmaker who has earned my highest rating of 5 stars more than once, with his genre-defying Memento and his mesmerizing science-fiction espionage caper Inception. He has also earned huge accolades from me in nearly every other film he has...

...Andres Hernandez Eng.101 Critics agree that the symbolism helps bring out the message in the story. The waiting room can be a symbol of purgatory for some. “The doctor’s waiting room, which was very small was almost full when the Turpins entered and Mrs.Turpin, who was very large in her presence” (revelation 191) If O’connor would not have put in the story wouldn’t have as much meaning “it takes every word in the story to say what the meaning is.” (O’Connor 334) This critic being O’connor herself, implies it takes everything necessary to establish the meaning in the story. Without the waiting room Mrs.Turpin revelation would not have been a reality. The key to the waiting room is when Mary Grace throws the book at Mrs.Turpin, another example of symbolism. “The book struck her directly over her left eye.”(206) It is with this act that helps Mrs. Turpin achieve her revelation. The throwing of the book is seen as symbolism because that violent act opens the eyes of Mrs.Turpin. “the short story requires more drastic procedures then the novel because more has to be accomplished in less space.”(333) This critic feels this act of symbolism must be drastic enough because it will be the only thing capable of showing the error of her ways. It was essential that the book was thrown, Mrs.Turnpin being how full of herself as she was, because the violence was the only way it would be the only way to get her revelation. What Mrs.Turpin dialogue is key, without her smug talk there...

...Booth is a critical pluralist; he believes that there is more than one valid way to evaluate works of art. Booth's position has been denounced both by dogmatists, who claim that there is only one way to view artworks, and by skeptics, who think that neither side can be reconciled and that every critical opinion is based on certain fallacies. Booth's criticism is characterized by clear, concise prose, a strong argumentative technique, and a wittiness which relieves the heavy intellectualism of his topics. The Rhetoric of Fiction, Booth's first book, immediately established him as a true "Chicago Critic," a designation which indicates that Booth follows the neo-Aristotelian thought championed by R. S. Crane, Booth's instructor at the University of Chicago. The Aristotelian critics believe that art must contribute something to life beyond immediate pleasure; it has a function of the highest order, to instruct as well as to entertain. Art, as Aristotle believed, is essentially imitative; it is, as Booth says, "a living out of how some problems of life can be represented." The Rhetoric of Fiction discusses the way in which the author's meaning is expressed and conveyed to the reader. Booth's key concept involves the "implied author," or the reader's conception of the author's values and attitudes. A Rhetoric of Irony also analyzes authorial intention and the bond between reader and writer that occurs when the reader understands both literal and ironic meanings in works of literature...

...CISA, CIA, CFE, DOI , adio frequency identification (RFID) is a method of remotely storing and retrieving data using devices called RFID tags. RFID is a wireless technology that includes passive, semipassive and active tags: • Active RFID systems can store large amounts of information using a power source within the tags. • Passive RFID tags do not use a separate external power source. They obtain operating power from the tag reader. • Semipassive RFID uses an internal power source to monitor environmental conditions, but requires radio frequency energy transferred from the reader to power a tag response (similar to passive tags). The tags are small objects that can be attached to or incorporated into a product, much like the standard bar code tags on products in the supermarket. The difference is that while it takes a laser to scan a standard bar code and read its universal product code, an RFID tag stores its identifying code on a tiny microchip and transmits it wirelessly to a reader device. This allows more tags to be scanned at once from farther away, and it allows individual items—not just types of items—to be assigned unique identifying codes. An RFID system may consist of several components: tags, tag readers, tag programming stations, circulation readers, sorting equipment and tag inventory wands. The purpose of a system is to enable data to be transmitted by a portable device called a tag, which is read by an RFID reader and processed according to the needs of a particular...

...The Blind Side Shannon Cowper English 225: Introduction to Film Michael Warren February 2, 2014 Some people may feel that if a movie wins an academy award that it is a great movie because the film critics have experience, the film critics are paid professionals, and also that the film critics decide which movies are nominated for an academy award so the movie must be good. But this is where many people beg to differ regarding the film critic’s reviews on a particular film. In some cases, if a film critic decides that a movie is good, not every movie goer will feel the same way. I have sat and listened to Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert as they either praised or destroyed a film. Whenever I chose to go and view a film they have given their customary thumbs up to I would normally not enjoy the film. It is possible that I did not see the same things within a film as they did as it was evident that I was not viewing the film in the same manner as a film critic by looking for camera angles, editing, or frames. All that I cared about was escaping for a couple of hours and receiving some enjoyment from the movie. Some people feel that this is a special time for film criticism. Never before have more people been able to express their views about a film. Being a film critic was once a profession, but it’s not a job any longer and there is not a huge financial gain by doing so. However, this opens the door for those who want to critique a film and also provides the chance...

With bits of personal and political context interspersed, Hope framed her review as a first-take impression of the “overwhelming blackness” of an album about funk and self-destruction. “This initial feeling is suffocating,” Hope wrote. “It’s the essence of Dis Tew Much.” I think most fans and critics would agree that Kendrick Lamar's To Pimp a Butterfly is, indeed, overwhelming. I reviewed To Pimp a Butterfly in about 72 hours. In that narrow band of time, I "got" the album's messages and themes but couldn’t grasp the motivations for the album’s sound. Why, in. You’ll recall that To Pimp a Butterfly leaked just 24 hours before its official release date, March 15, and that most major music websites published their reviews of the album within three days of the leak.

...Criticism-Why is it typically thought of as negative? Most times when we think of the word criticism, we think of it in a negative way. However, there are many different ways that one can critique something. For example, Siskel & Ebert “Halloween” (1978) film review expresses that you can create a gruesome, but still entertaining movie. Criticism can also be a favorable praise (Siskel and Ebert); which is what they give the entire film. The mother played in the movie is independent, intelligent, spunky and interesting.” She is not portrayed as being the typical, clumsy female in average horror films. It shows that the writer is appreciative of women and film (Siskel & Ebert). They were not knocking horror films, just a certain kind and addressing the artistry that some writers/directors lack and that is well needed in producing a good film. I found their form of criticism to be poststructuralism, because they gave awareness and spoke on realistic perspectives of the film. There is also criticism that is completely negative; which was given by “Honest Trailers-300.” Absolutely nothing reviewed was positive. From the beginning of the review, I knew that it was going to be negative; just by how the director (Zack Snyder) was first given accolades for making Batman comics cool again and how he’d probably make Batman movies suck again (Honest Trailers-300). I saw this film when it first came out and the first time that I watched it, I had fallen asleep. It could have been because...
