The document discusses the author's love of IKEA furniture and how it has furnished their home in Bucharest. They discovered IKEA during a summer holiday in Greece 5 years ago and have been a fan ever since. Now, almost everything in their home, including furniture in the living room, kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom, is from IKEA due to their well-designed, affordable items that allow dreams to become a reality. Seeing the IKEA furnishings in their home puts a smile on the author's face.
The document discusses controlled assessment, a new form of assessment for GCSE qualifications in the UK that combines elements of coursework and examinations. It explains that controlled assessment can make up either 25% or 60% of a subject's total assessment.

The level of control for task setting, taking, and marking can be high, medium, or limited depending on the subject.

This document provides an introduction to intellectual property (IP) law, including basic terminology and how IP works. It discusses that IP strikes a balance between competition and incentivizing creativity/innovation. Laws like patents and copyrights protect investments in intellectual assets (IAs) by granting exclusive rights, while also restricting competition. The Statute of Monopolies of 1623 is discussed as balancing these interests, abolishing monopolies but allowing limited-term patents for new inventions.
The document discusses the importance of summer food programs in Maryland for combating childhood hunger. It notes that while many children receive free or reduced-price meals during the school year, only a small percentage continue to receive meals in the summer. The document then provides best practices for summer food program operators, including serving healthy and appealing meals, incorporating physical activities, and conducting outreach in the community to increase participation. Resources from the state agency and advocacy organizations are also mentioned to help programs operate successfully.
This document presents a case study on applying Six Sigma methodology to streamline the financial reporting process within the finance department of a major defense contractor. The goal of the project, called Continuing Account Reconciliation Enhancement (CARE), was to standardize and document the process for establishing and maintaining costing and planning within the current financial management system. Applying Six Sigma's DMAIC framework, the team mapped the existing process, identified inefficiencies, standardized procedures, and achieved significant reductions in cycle time and cost per report produced. The results showed Six Sigma can successfully be applied beyond manufacturing to optimize business processes in other functions like finance.

Lenkesamlinger, f.eks: Virtuelt bibliotek
6. Et par begreper
Søkemotor – roboter som søker
gjennom web-sider. Eks. Google, Alta
Vista
Katalog – websider organisert i emner
av personer. Eks Kvasir, Yahoo
Søkeord – ord du bruker for å beskrive
det du leter etter
7. SØKEMOTOR
Bruker du når du har spesielle søkeord
Jo flere, jo bedre, flere ord samtidig
(søkestreng). Da søker du etter sider
der et eller flere av ordene finnes.
Unngå ”småord” som av, om, på og.
8. KATALOGER
Bruker du når du søker etter emner
Norske kataloger er: Kvasir, Sesam
Internasjonalt: Yahoo
9. Søk smart
Du kan bruke anførselstegn før og etter
søkestrengen (frasesøk). Da søker du
etter sider der ordene kommer i samme
rekkefølge. Da må alle ordene være
med (også ”småord”).
10. Søk smart
Du kan øke treffsikkerheten ved å bruke
+ og –
Hvis du søker på enkeltord får du treff på
sider hvor minst ett av ordene finnes. Ved
å bruke + eller –foran ordene kan du legge
til betingelser for at enkelte ord skal/ikke
skal være med.
11. PERSONER
Søk på personnavnet.
Bruker du anførselstegn får du den
personen du leter etter og ikke hele
slekta.
