Scanned document import & data manipulation
Project Posted: Thu, 9 Sep 2010 22:44:53 GMT Project Closes: Thu, 23 Sep 2010 22:44:53 GMT
Background we are a tax refund company. we send hard copy claims to the tax office which prove that our clients incur expenses and claim tax relief. one type of claim we submit in fairly high numbers is for motor mechanics who buy tools to do their job. current process currently we have a manual process to convert the purchase evidence in the form of hard copy receipts and statements into a format accepted by the tax office. this involves a number of steps: - prep: annotating the original paperwork by striking out items we can not claim for (see below for the criteria), and numbering the items we can claim for. - data entry: we already have an ms excel macro application (see attached) where we enter information for each allowable item. this uses an existing database of around 16,500 codes for allowable items (which we add too). the calculations we need to submit to the claim are the output of this stage. desired process as the format of the original purchase evidence is in standard format (of 3 or 4 distinct types), we would like to be able to scan and ocr this paperwork (we have the hard/software to do this, scanner is a kodak i1220 plus) and export the ocr in a usable and editable format (there are range of options from the software omnipage 15; all ms packages, .csv, html, etc.) and at this point number all items sequentially starting at 1. each line of data would reflect one purchase and include the information necessary to process the item, i.e. price, date purchased, code and or description. we would then like to automate as many of the rules in the ‘preping the receipts' section below. it would be helpful at this stage to have an output of the allowable items and a list of exceptions for each run so that we can continually fine tune the criteria. once the prep stage is complete we would then want those allowable items to be run against the ms excel macro tool and produce the output. it may be that the stages can be merged and through exceptions we can continually add to 2 databases: allowable items and none allowable items. considerations we use ms office 2003 we would want to run per client and there may be differing formats of evidence per client. we would want the ability to enter item details manual at the data entry stage as some purchase evidence can be scanned. users are competent but not it experts the existing excel macro is attached as well as examples of the purchase evidence next steps project is to start asap and to be delivered within 7-10 days. fixed priced for the job is preferred. preping the receipts only certain items can be included in the claim. - remove any items not dated between the 6th april 1997 and the 5th april of the most recent tax year. - remove any items under £10.00 after vat or £8.51 before vat. this includes any items with nil value i.e. 0.00 * beware of mac statements as they tend to be printed as gross figures rather than net * - we must provide descriptions for all items in the claim therefore, highlight any item without a description or which is not legible as the description will be sourced at the data entry stage. we can only claim for tools and can only make a claim for each item once; therefore non-tool items and duplicates of tools will need to be removed from the claim. we also can not claim for repairs of items or consumables (items that must be replaced regularly because they wear out or are used up e.g. light bulbs, blades) items which should definately be removed are; batteries, blades, workwear, socks, promotional clothing/items, car parts, torches (although we can allow one gas torch), lights, mirrors, mats, alarm clocks, watches, stools, boots, gloves, caps, tool box covers, organisers, shelves, welding masks, magnetic trays, trays, racks, draw dividers, cv boot kits, socket rails, repairs etc. * for items which have a code but no description, these are some of the codes which relate to these items, eas codes, cmc codes, cpl codes, mecgl codes. these can all be removed without highlighting the items for a description. as well as needing a description, all receipts must have on them the client's name and the date that they were purchased. if there are receipts/items without this information and the item is for over £200 please contact the client to try and obtain this information so we can include it in the claim. please note: * if more than one item is purchased on the same receipt and only one total figure is provided then cross through the total, divide by 2 and rewrite this total for 1 item on the receipt. this can then still be included in the claim. beware of totals with 2 items that once divided would be below £10.00 gross. * include items with minus figures unless they are below the £10.00 rule above. once you have checked through the above points, each item we are claiming for needs to be numbered so we can input the figures to a spreadsheet. number the receipts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5..etc ensuring all items we are claiming for are numbered. write the number next to the figure excluding vat (net) on the receipt. file is now ready for data entry.

I am looking for a bullet-point list (with simple, concise explanations) of talking points for a speech explaining the technical side of quilting. 1,000 words. no filler language. just the research in a bullet-point format. my audience is bright, creative people with limited business knowledge. they would like to offer their finished quilts, new patterns and teaching skills for sale. but, they don't understand the basics of creating a professional quality product. here are some of their questions: how much fabric do i need to make a quilt without buying a pattern? what is the best solution for bunching while / during machine quilting? how do you miter the corners on the binding? do you know of an easy procedure to transform patterns written using the templates method to strip piecing? is there an easy formula? or just work out each one in a very time consuming manner. i have not seen this addressed on the quilting forum or any other site. teach me to cut straight, and make all the same size. where are the best places to get fabric for quilts. what size do you make for twin, queen etc. bed? how can some people put on binding so easily and i have such a hard time of it?? i have read all kinds of hints and tutorials, and still have such a problem. and also, what is birthing a quilt?? how does one learn to do the beautiful free motion quilting on a home sewing machine? what kind of thick batting is the best to use that will keep it's shape and stand up to use and abuse? how to get perfect points. when you free motion quilt say a twin or full size quilt in just a meander or something similar, how far apart is the stitching usually for a nice uniform pattern? about the size of a quarter or a dime? second: when you use a stencil (for example) in a block how much room do you leave between the edge of the motif and the seams of the block? can i iron my fabrics before cutting them? since i just recently started on this quilting adventure, i've done everything with a sewing machine (even quilting). i am considering learning applique but am a little intimidated by it. here's my question: if i cut out a shape, is it supposed to be "hemmed" all around and sewn down, or how is it held down? or, do i cut it to the exact size, then how do you keep the edges from fraying later when the quilt is washed? or ... what's the best way to start learning applique?

I am looking for a bullet-point list (with simple, concise explanations) of talking points for a speech explaining copyrights. 1,000 words. no filler language. just the research in a bullet-point format. my audience is bright, creative people with limited business knowledge. they would like to offer their finished quilts, new patterns and teaching skills for sale. but, they don't understand how, when and if copyright laws apply to them. here are some of their questions: sometimes, i see blocks that are over 100 years old in a new copyrighted book. hasn't the copyright on the block already expired? if so, are they copyrighting the layout? or maybe, just the directions? what's a derivative work? how much of a pattern to i have to change to not violate the copyright? is there any place to find a simplified explanation of the copyright laws so we can know if we can sell something or not? my question is in regards to copyright laws. if you are buying the pattern or using one that has been around for decades, do you have to get permission to sale or show it? with all of the copyright laws in effect how can i be sure that i am not in violation when adapting a pattern to make a quilt that i intend to sell? copyright issues of patterns that say you cannot sell the product you make from the pattern (i understand not copying and selling the pattern). copyright issues of licensed fabric (like disney) can we legally sell quilts made from patterns we find in books? my biggest questions have to do with copyright laws. i would hate to think that i am breaking the law when i try something i have seen in another quilt. my quilts are never replicas, but i do take bits of pieces (that i like) from different quilts. i've always wondered about copy right laws like if i used a pattern say from a magazine or a book would i be able to sell it if i chose to or would that be going against copyright laws? i think also how much to sell a particular quilt for is another big question for me anyways being new to quilting. what is the rules on using patterns that free on the internet in regards to copyright when you are going to make a product for sale? as it seems the biggest question is copyright laws and protecting my own designs what is the best way to keep me safe and not allow others to steal my designs. while i understand that i can't copy a pattern and give it to a friend, why can't i make a pattern and sell the results?

I have 14 article that i need to spin. i need each article spun into 15 different versions. all articles are approx 300-350 words, and i need them to have no less than 450 words each after the spin. requirements: - after the spin there would be a total of 210 articles - all articles would have to be readable - all titles must be unique, while keeping required keyword intact. - the article keyword density would remain intact. - these must be submitted in .txt format - using 1 single txt document for each 15 arcticle (each original + 14 new version into one txt doc) this is not a writing project, just spinning of existing article into more versions.
