Abstract: The system renders a candidate registration user interface (UI) on a first display to receive a first set of registration details associated with a first user. The system renders a cover letter UI on the first display to receive cover letter data in an audio, or a video format, associated with the first user and may render a pitch room UI on the first display to receive pitch data in the video format, associated with the first user. The system provides the first set of registration details, the cover letter data and the pitch data on a second display associated with a second user and renders a decision UI on the second display to receive an input from the second user that corresponds to a decision associated with the hiring of the first user, based on the first set of registration details, the cover letter data, or the pitch data.

Abstract: A fin mount for an inflatable watercraft is an apparatus used as a universal fin box that connects a variety of fins. The apparatus includes a clamp and a fin. The clamp mounts the fin into a fin box-receiving hole of an inflatable watercraft. The clamp includes a lower press, an upper press, and a length-adjustable fastener. The lower press and the upper press seal the fin box-receiving hole. The lower press and the upper press tighten together with the length-adjustable fastener. The lower press and the upper press tensionably tether to each other by the length-adjustable fastener. The apparatus further includes a fin-attachment mechanism that secures the fin into the lower press. The fin removably attaches into a fin-receiving slot of the lower press. The apparatus further includes a plurality of lower counterforts and a plurality of upper counterforts which structurally reinforce the lower press and the upper press.

Abstract: An article of manufacture for protecting the upper leg against injury from small arms fire that also protects against shrapnel and debris propelled from an explosive compound or device that also provides for attachment points for a myriad of combat equipment such as magazine pouches, holsters, grenade pouches, radio pouches, first aid kits, etcetera, includes a knee length set of chaps type of protective garment. The chaps provide frontal and flank protection to the upper leg and accordingly the femur and femoral artery, thus providing an over-garment that protects the wearer without impairing the wearers flexibility, and a piece of combat equipment that incorporates up to level 4 ballistic protection.
