Kashrut: The Jewish Dietary Laws
Kashrut is what makes up the body of Judaism, and deals with what foods Jews can and cannot eat, as well as how those foods must be prepared in order to be considered “kosher” (fit to eat). "Kashrut" is derived from the Hebrew root Kaf-Shin-Resh, which means fit, correct and proper. The word "kosher" can also be used, and often is used, to describe ritual objects that are made in accordance with Jewish law and are fit for ritual use.
Food that is not kosher is commonly referred to as treyf literally meaning “torn”, from the commandment not to eat animals that have been torn by other animals.
Basic Food Laws

Separation of Meat and Dairy: Jews must not to "boil a kid in its mother's milk”. The eating of meat and dairy together is prohibited. Meat cannot be eaten with dairy. Fish, eggs, fruits, vegetables and grains can be eaten with either meat or dairy. (However, many stricter Jews will not eat fish with meat.)

Microsoft Outlook
Outlooks only use is in the communications department of ICT. It is an e-mail service, which enables Mr. Wyles to send electronic mail inside and outside of the school building. This is very important when it comes to communicating with other staff, and possibly arranging or being given information concerning meetings that he may have to attend. Without this function communication would be done via telephone, face-to-face or fax, the main advantage of e-mail is that you can send interactive footage, e.g. pictures and other possible attachments, e.g. database information or spreadsheet data. This is not possible over the telephone or face-to-face.
PowerPoint
A few of Mr. Wyles colleagues use PowerPoint in lesson time to produce presentations to the class that help assist there learning. They are also used when it comes to meetings, maybe to present new i
