Database - Magazine Subscribers

Database - Magazine Subscribers The Manager of a magazine business in Preston Mr. Daniel's (Gamers World) has asked me to produce a database to keep track of the subscribers and non subscribers this should make it a lot easier to keep track. This will also include information about the information on the subscriber\non subscriber like the address and full name. Before we came up with this idea he used to just Wright it down in a book this made it very or quad to keep track of who had subscribed and who hadn't . There are a number of possible methods of solving this problem. I could use Microsoft Excel, Works or even Access the are all very good database programs for keeping track of records. I could use Microsoft Excel but this doesn't have all the features that Works and Access have such as its own word document creator as in Microsoft works and is not as easy to use as works and access are to use when making a database. The only quick and simple solution would be to use a Database programme like Microsoft Works because this is the only one the school has and most of my work will be done there. The manager of Magazine bushiness Preston wants the following to appear the Database: * The database should include information about the subscribers non subscribers e.g. Name * Section that will show the subscribers and non subscriber. * A document to be send to

FEB 2009 hi-tech news

2009 hi-tech news There were a few major events that happened recently. One of the most interesting things of the week was that the new iPhone 3G has finally been cracked by a Russian hacker group - Dev Team.1 They have presented to the first day of 2009 special software, thank to which iPhone 3G from Apple can work in networks of any GSM-operator. Use of the patch which has received name Yellowsn0w, is possible only for iPhone with an official version 2.2 from Apple. Hackers-developers describe " the small program " as absolutely harmless - the end user will not notice anything besides that phone quite successfully works with a SIM-card of the other mobile operator. The program easily uninstalls, and most iPhones don't get damaged or affected negatively at all. The other rising issue is that the beta version of windows seven has now been spread by Russian hackers and millions of testers are testing it out.2 However officially, there are 7 Microsoft testers and they were asked to describe what has changed...3 On the first look, it seems like the desktop hasn't changed at all but this feeling is faulty, in reality the structure has changed significantly. Most think that the changes were good, but most of them are just little things, but not something important. For example, the "Seven" if it sees that you are from Russia, it would put a picture of Kremlin on desktop4 and

Communication Methods and Media

Communication Methods and Media Task 1 Method Description of Method How Used Within Insurance Company Simplex Communication in only one direction. Head office sends sales advisors updates using pagers. Pagers can only receive data and cannot send data, therefore this is simplex communication.

When sales advisors are working in pairs going door to door they use walkie talkies to communicate with each other, this is half duplex communication. Duplex This is when communication can take place in both directions at the same time. Within the company e-mail is used as a communication tool. This is duplex communication. Parallel This is when multiple bits of data are sent at once and each bit uses a separate wire. This is suitable for short distances. Because parallel transmission is used within very short distances it would be used within the company's computer system. E.g. buses. Serial Serial communication is when data is sent over a single wire and timing information is required. This is slower than parallel but is suited to long distances. The company uses serial transmission to communicate with their brokers all around the world.

Relations between Taeko and Galeano’s Systems

Chantel Pomerville World Literature One Relations between Taeko and Galeano's Systems The system of society that Japanese women were to follow during the 1930's can be related to Eduardo Galeano's portrayal of "The System". His work, The Book of Embraces, is a compilation of many short writings on society and human emotions. The three essays entitled, "The system", tell how people act, how people are expected to act, and how people think. In the Japanese society that Taeko, from Junichiro Tanizaki's The Makioka Sisters is from, women are expected to think and act as dictated by men. Taeko is the rebellious sister, who does not want anyone holding her ambitions back. She builds her own career, and denounces her family name so she can live freely. Galeano's idea of the system of the world is one where people give off an aura of indifference, immorality and impatience. The Japanese system is not so much immoral as it is unyielding to change. Taeko attempts to bring about a modern change, and every time she was penalized by society. "The System 1" describes how the modern government and political 'system' fails to operate correctly. The system does not work, and everything is a lie. Money rules everything, and laws cease to exist. "Nothing is worthwhile when the people are at the service of things" (131). In "The System Two", Galeano implies that image is always

To What Extent Was the Poor Law a New Poor Law?

To What Extent Was the Poor Law a New Poor Law? In 1832, the government was aware that something was needed to be done about the increasing rates for poor relief around the country. Eight commissioners were appointed to investigate how effective the Elizabethan Poor Law actual was, and whether it needed reform. The commission argued that the current system was inefficient, not cost effective and bad for the poor, but whether these assumptions were actually pure truth or whether they were exaggerated just to accelerate reform is debatable. In the past, poor relief was given by different parishes to those who appeared eligible. Each parish was responsible for their own ways of working, with one overseer (a landowner or trader) in control of giving out relief, and the rate payers giving into a central fund for that community only. Now, there was a national system to be set up, where all the relief would be controlled by a central body. The poor law commission were appointed to draw up a bill which recommended how poor relief could be improved in England and Wales. Three commissioners were appointed to oversee the investigations. They were mainly politically prominent figures, who had no real care for how the poor law was. These were based in London, and given the power to issue regulations regarding how the poor relief was given. In the commissions, the workers were paid
