Abstract: A system, method and computer program product automating time management, includes an automated time management framework using an AI engine to for making trade-offs among tasks as unexpected events occur. Each day is divided into blocks of time called Skeds. Once a Sked has begun, scheduled tasks and tasks that have been manually or automatically added to the Sked are treated as a collection. It is determined if the Sked is balanced based on total available labor minutes compared time to perform uncompleted tasks. If not, a score is calculated for each uncompleted task based on its ratings, including priority, movability, optionality, difficulty, and/or unpleasantness of the task. The uncompleted tasks are ranked using the scores, and abandoned or moved to later Skeds based on the ranking until the Sked is balanced. The balancing process is repeated until the Sked is balanced and, if not, until an end thereof.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for facilitating the shipment of a package or packages, each package containing one or more items, from a Sender to a Recipient, via one of a number of shippers. The apparatus includes a database for storing shipper data, a processor for processing the data in the database, a Sender's terminal for selectively receiving and sending shipment information to and from the processing system, a first communications link for selectively enabling communication between the database/processor and the Sender's terminal, a second communications link for selectively communicating between the database/processor and the shipper of the package(s), and a third communications link for selectively communicating between the database/processor and customs facilitation entities such as customs brokers. The Internet may be used as at least one of the communication links, and the database may be made available through a Web site.

Abstract: A tax and duty determination system receives shipment specific information. This shipment specific information is compared to a database containing the rules and applicable duties and/or taxes for the shipment destined for a particular destination. Based on this comparison, the tax and duty determination system determines the applicable duties and/or taxes for each item in the shipment and for the shipment as a whole.
