Book excerpt: Near Field Communication (NFC) is a contactless and wireless technology that can transfer data across a short distance. It provides a simple way to distribute, retrieve and exchange data with mobile devices. It is based on Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology. It is an innovative technology that has not yet been widely adopted. However, when consumers fully understand the benefits of using this technology, NFC will transform not only the marketing landscape, but also our everyday lives. Many business opportunities will be created in this process. This book is divided into five chapters: - What is NFC?: A technological overview with examples and technical summaries - How to Use NFC: Brief summaries that describe the use of NFC phones/tags/wallet and a technological overview of the two communication modes, three operating modes and NFC secure transactions - Who are the NFC Players?: Summary of the NFC ecosystem and various standard groups - Where is NFC Now?: Examples of use cases that demonstrate recent NFC applications in retail environment, gaming, media and advertising, furniture, electronic pairing and mobile payment. - Why Use NFC?: A summary of the value of NFC technology and a comparison with other wireless connectivity technologies This book is written for people who are interested in learning about NFC and want to explore what is possible for this technology. This includes application (app) developers, business executives, entrepreneurs, innovators and consumers who adopt new technology. It may be especially useful for executives who are responsible for making decisions about NFC projects. For a quick general overview of the technology, see the introduction section of each chapter.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Near Field Communication (NFC) is a technology that enables wireless data transfer in close proximity without the need for internet connection. It was approved as an ISO/IEC standard in 2003, and the first NFC-enabled phone was released in 2006. However, the technology has been experiencing slow adoption, especially in the USA. NFC technology has been evolving quickly since the 2nd edition of this book was published in October 2014. My book is still selling. Whenever a person purchases my book, it encourages me to work more diligently on the latest edition in order to update my readers with developments. You, the reader, are my inspiration. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. The third edition of "Everyday NFC" covers recent NFC use cases, NFC technical fundamentals, the NFC mobile payment landscape, and its impact on the IoT and Industry 4.0 through the rapid advancements in technology. The information in this edition is new as of November 2017. Koichi Tagawa, Chairman of NFC Forum, commented on the previous release of "Everyone NFC" "Your book is great for helping people to learn the fundamentals of NFC. Also, the broad, prioritized coverage of key points about NFC is something that really impressed me.

Download or read book Leadership Embodied 2nd Edition written by Joseph J Thomas and published by Naval Institute Press. This book was released on 2013-10-15 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leadership is a most demanding undertaking. How do some people make it seem so simple, so natural and instinctive? In the age-old debate as to whether leaders are born or made, Thomas contends that the answer is both. Great leaders throughout history were born with certain capabilities. Preparation honed those capabilities. Then that ability and preparation were combined with a will to lead. When circumstances demanded, the great leaders of history pulled these attributes together to create results that drove the course of history. While leaders are present in every aspect of human undertaking, we chose to illustrate each of the components of leadership through the most dramatic and demanding of all human undertakings—war and the preparations for war. Wartime leaders are leaders “writ with a darker pen.” Wartime challenges are, because of the life and death nature of the affair, more monumental and exacting. In the selection of individuals to illustrate each point, we chose wartime leaders as well as those who guided their subordinates and organizations in preparation for combat. Further we chose American leaders with a distinct and obvious bias towards the navy and Marine Corps. Multiple reasons led us to our approach for Leadership Embodied. First, a biography is perhaps the most effective method for imparting leadership lessons. Simple listings of prescriptive traits or descriptive qualities are patronizing and, frequently, boring. Second, our biographical examples are familiar to most—or at least they should be. Finally, all of these historical selections have dramatically shaped today’s institutions, practices, and customs within the naval services. These are not marginal figures with marginal influence. The individuals included, and their respective leadership attributes, should be required reading for any student of leadership. Each has a particular lesson for midshipmen on their journey to becoming a navy or Marine Corps officer. This book does not promise to be a panacea. There is no short cut. Leadership does not follow a prescribed path. We study examples to inspire us to become better, to be strong when it is easy to give in, and to know others have gone before us and faced insurmountable odds. Leadership, as an ill-defined social science, crosses boundaries with several disciplines including sociology, psychology, philosophy, and history. We have selected a method that combines the psychological “profile” of effective leaders and the historical context of the impact their leadership brought to organizations and events. Our hope for this book is that these case studies illustrate the basic elements—in themselves the very essence—of leadership. It is through inherent talent, arduous preparation, and practical experience that we become capable leaders. The reader brings the first to the table; then we offer a small token in the second pursuit; and circumstances enable the third.

Download or read book Every Day the River Changes written by Jordan Salama and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2021-11-16 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exhilarating travelogue for a new generation about a journey along Colombia’s Magdalena River, exploring life by the banks of a majestic river now at risk, and how a country recovers from conflict. An American writer of Argentine, Syrian, and Iraqi Jewish descent, Jordan Salama tells the story of the Río Magdalena, nearly one thousand miles long, the heart of Colombia. This is Gabriel García Márquez’s territory—rumor has it Macondo was partly inspired by the port town of Mompox—as much as that of the Middle Eastern immigrants who run fabric stores by its banks. Following the river from its source high in the Andes to its mouth on the Caribbean coast, journeying by boat, bus, and improvised motobalinera, Salama writes against stereotype and toward the rich lives of those he meets. Among them are a canoe builder, biologists who study invasive hippopotamuses, a Queens transplant managing a failing hotel, a jeweler practicing the art of silver filigree, and a traveling librarian whose donkeys, Alfa and Beto, haul books to rural children. Joy, mourning, and humor come together in this astonishing debut, about a country too often seen as only a site of war, and a tale of lively adventure following a legendary river.
