...10th March, 2016. MR WILSON STUDENT LEADERS/YEAR 13 PREFECT POSITIONS Dear Mr Wilson, I am writing this letter in application for the position of Year 13 Prefect. This position is a vital part of the school system and acts as a helping hand to the school and its students. This role is a leading demonstration of the school’s abilities and I feel that I am ready to take on such responsibilities. Having addressed fairly large crowds, I am now a clearer and more confident communicator. This will not only help me manage large groups of people but also help me in carrying out requests to improve the school community. One key element of this position is to assist the staff in running the school smoothly, however there is more to the position. A prefect is looked up to by younger pupils and is there to set an example for others to follow. In the 3 years that I have been at St Christopher’s School, I have seen past prefects carry out their duties and as a younger pupil then, I admired how much effort they put into these duties, thus making me learn from them. I will therefore utilise what I have learnt to become a successful prefect. Helping students’ progress through school is possibly the most important feature of a prefect’s duty. Volunteering to work with younger pupils in my previous school not just academically but also socially has given me an insight into this vital role. Assisting whoever is in need, whether they're troubled by academic or personal problems is essential...

...Appointment of Head Boy/ Head Girl 2015/2016 PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY BEFORE COMPLETING YOUR APPLICATION FORM Background information Featherstone High School is committed to developing a wide range of opportunities for students throughout the school to develop their leadership skills and to take on the responsibility of planning, managing and delivering their own projects. Many students take on these roles quietly and steadily without many people being aware of what they are doing. Some roles, however, attract a much higher profile as the student(s) involved represent the school as an institution and all other Featherstone students in general. Head Boy and Head Girl are possibly the two roles with the highest profile and they are selected each year from Year 12 students. Their role includes : • Speaking at public events (such as Awards Evenings and Assemblies) • Representing the school (and especially their Key Stage) to the wider community • Liaising with specific members of staff such as the Head and Deputy Head, the Director of Sixth Form, senior members of staff and the Enrichment Co-ordinator • Working closely with and supporting TLRs for each year group and the School Council • Contributing to change/ improvement in by being involved in working groups, meetings etc A Deputy Head Boy and Head Girl will also be formally appointed and applicants are asked to state whether they wish to be considered for these posts. They will...

...Speech I believe the role of head girl is more than just a badge and a title. It means being a good leader and representative of the school, respecting your friends and peers, being trustworthy, and having pride in our school community. I’d meet the challenge of being head girl but I would approach it with enthusiasm and determination, an open mind and everyone’s best interest at heart. If I am elected as head girl I will make sure everyone feels comfortable and included and is doing the right thing, that preps and new students always feel welcome, I am willing to be open to listen to people's ideas and opinions, and that the school grounds are always clean and tidy. Even if all these things mean giving up my lunch times and recesses, I am willing to dedicate my extra time that I have into being school captain and to the responsibilities that come with this honourable title. Now, I have to admit that I don’t know everything, and I also know I’m not the smartest, sportiest or the tallest candidate for the job but I will promise you this, if you vote for me elected, I will put everything I can in to the role of school captain, because being a leader would not only be a huge honour but it would be my biggest pleasure. I will do whatever is needed to help our school and the people inside it, I am overflowing with ideas and ways to make our school a better place. This role demands time, effort, organisation and confidence as well as dedication. I cannot think of anything...

...“No -- I mean I talk like a sailor.” “Talking like a sailor to me means a lot of cursing.” “That’s because you were in the Army -- things always seem different than they really are when you’re in the Army.” Libra comes back with a bang. “What do you know about the army, Tugg? -- Other than the fact that it’s the Army that does all the dirty work? When the Air Force, Marines, and Navy guys are nightie-night, we’re usually out there cleaning up your mess.” “My point-” “No, I think that was my point, Robbie.” Libra goes into her favorite subject, why the Army is better than the Navy. Robbie decides to take her on. “Oh, you want to start the ‘Army - Navy’ thing again?” “Everybody knows the Navy is for wimps -- don’t start that Navy Seal noise. They’re all over the news -- Army Rangers rule! -- Battle of the Bulge -- U.S. Army. Invasion of Normandy -- U.S. Army -- you guys just dropped us off, fired big guns from the safety of fifteen miles. Gettysburg, the Civil War for that matter -- U.S. Army, baby -- The liberation of Europe -- U.S. Army. Shall I continue? No contest, Tugg.” Robbie calmly replied. “You can go on until you turn blue, Libra. Not too many Army guys would relish in being on an 882-foot battleship -- packed with explosives -- thirteen thousand miles from shore -- when three enemy torpedoes simultaneously slam into the hull in the dead of winter -- not to mention radio silence -- a few hundred hungry sharks – not to mention the closest allied ship a hundred miles...

...10/3/12 “Judge Lifts Ban on U.S. Sales of Samsung Tablet,” The Wall Street Journal, 10/2/2012 This article is concerned with a patent law matter. After she had issued a preliminary injunction in June requiring Samsung to halt sales of its Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, Judge Lucy Koh lifted the ban on Monday. Koh had based the injunction on the Samsung’s likely violation of Apple’s tablet design patent. The jury found Samsung in violation of six other patents, but the tablet design patent, which was the basis for the injunction, was not one of them. The jury reached a verdict in August, but Samsung simultaneously asked for the injunction to be lifted and appealed the case, which created a question of who had jurisdiction to lift the injunction. On Friday, the U.S. Court of Appeals ruled that Koh could decide on whether or not to lift the injunction. This ruling is the latest significant event in an ongoing legal patent war between Samsung and Apple. Both sides have filed posttrial motions, which Koh will rule on in December. Apple is seeking a higher reward for the patent infringement damages and a permanent ban on the sale of infringing products, while Samsung is looking to eliminate the reward and the sales ban altogether. Although the temporary ban on the Galaxy Tab 10.1 was lifted, a posttrial ban that Apple is seeking could still ban sales of the device because the jury did find that it infringed on some of Apple’s patents – just not the tablet design patent which...

...Application Software Application software, also known as an "app", is computer software designed to help the user to perform specific tasks. Application software is contrasted with system software and middleware, which manage and integrate a computer's capabilities, but typically do not directly apply them in the performance of tasks that benefit the user.

Enterprise systems manage the flow of information relevant to those within the company as well as those outside of the company that have permission to access certain information. If a company has multiple lines of products and information that is relevant to all products such as statistical data that needs to be shared with all people within the company, an enterprise system exists to enable the sharing of information. An enterprise system provides as single system central to the organization which ensures that the information can be shared across all management and functional levels Enterprise systems are also invaluable with elimination of problems with information fragmentation which can be caused by having multiple information systems in an organization.
