Cystic Fibrosis Trust

Sadly an ex Student of Wildern lost their battle with this genetic disease recently. We are holding a non uniform day on Friday 25th October in order to raise money to support young people who are coping with this disease. 

It is important for us to reflect on what life must be like for Cystic Fibrosis sufferers and how they struggle to live their lives in ways we take for granted.

If a computer loses power, all data stored in its RAM is lost.

Questions

How does the cost of RAM link with the cost of machines today?

How much RAM was on the computers that went to the moon on the Apollo missions?

How much RAM in your phone today?

Give two examples of how RAM affects the performance of each of these: Operating System, general applications and the GUI?

Malala: The girl who was shot for going to school

Continue reading the main story

One year ago schoolgirl Malala Yousafzai was shot in the head by Taliban gunmen - her "crime", to have spoken up for the right of girls to be educated. The world reacted in horror, but after weeks in intensive care Malala survived. Her full story can now be told.

She is the teenager who marked her 16th birthday with a live address from UN headquarters, is known around the world by her first name alone, and has been lauded by a former British prime minister as "an icon of courage and hope".

She is also a Birmingham schoolgirl trying to settle into a new class, worrying about homework and reading lists, missing friends from her old school, and squabbling with her two younger brothers.

She is Malala Yousafzai, whose life was forever changed at age 15 by a Taliban bullet on 9 October 2012.
