Class: How to write in your siddur
Why use a siddur
1. Talmud Yerushalmi, Berachot 2:4
2. Tosefta Shabbat 13:4
3. Rambam, Mishneh Torah, Hilchot Tefilah 4:19
4. Pri Megadim, Orach Chaim 53 Mishbetzot Zahav 15
5. Shulchan Aruch Orach Chaim 96:2
Our problems: Fixed text; Blob of text; Familiarity
6. Mishnah Berachot 4:4
רבי אליעזר אומר העושה תפלתו קבע אין תפלתו תחנונים
7. Talmud, Bava Batra 164b-165a
8. Rambam, Moreh haNevuchim 3:51
Writing in a siddur?
9. Mishneh Berurah 96:9
10. Shulchan Aruch Orach Chaim 90:23
Practical tips
1. Mark phrases for special concentration
2. Mark structural/poetic elements that provide greater meaning
3. Add wake-up calls
4. Mark lines requiring explanation
5. Write in food for thought
Writing notes
1. Pencil, small marks, change them regularly
2. Spread marks throughout the various prayers
3. Be ready to replace your siddur
4. Don't distract from the davening
 1. Moradik!!!
 Please post the link when this is online (and maybe even the full source sheet).
 2. I use these with my students. _URL_
 Each color flag means something different. Green is congregational singing. Yellow is silent/individual. Red is repeat. You can make notes on the flag without having to write in the siddur itself.
 We also do a lot with post-it notes.
 3. Cool. So you are the one responsible for all the yidden with flags in their siddurim and machzorim.
 Actually I currently use thoses flags to highlight the order of notes that I make in seforim.
 4. One of my first Bar Mitzvah students used my transliterated siddur for his preparation and for the service, and I still have his notes, highlighting, etc. throughout the service. I can't really pray from it anymore because it's distracting, but I love it and it will always be a memento of his Bar Mitzvah. He had post-its and tabs in addition to the notes and highlighting.
 I later started working for a synagogue here that doesn't allow students to make any marks in their books.
 My own siddur has tabs and very light pencil marks.
 5. Left Wing Modern Orthodox: 79%
 Right Wing Modern Orthodox: 75%
 Left Wing Yeshivish/Chareidi: 36%
 Right Wing Yeshivish/Chareidi: 15%
 I don't know why it called me orthodox at all. Maybe because I see the Talmud as a source of value and morality.
 6. Morah BetsyGood system! In this class I'm going for writing to add meaning/inspiration, but that does sound like a good way to handle the basic need for "What am I supposed to be doing here?"
 7. NeilIt's now on-line; I'd love your feedback!
 8. Will listen as I prepare the mashed potatoes in the AM. Thanks!
 9. Interesting.
 I've gone through phases. Depending on different things going on, where I'm holding [as the torah true say], what siddur is my Siddur Du Jour etc.
 First and foremost, again depending on the siddur: marking sheva na/nach and kamatz gadol/katan. That's the first thing I used to do soon as I'd crack the spine.
 In my zealot days, I'd photocopy things missing from the Siddur Du Jour. Anim zemirot from the Siddur HaGra, for instance. Tefillat Leshlom hamedinah missing from almost every siddur.
 I'd photocopy those charts of interruptions, when you can say amen, etc. at which parts of davenen.
 I'd mark things like in Az Yashir, which pesukim are said in the special trop. Mark the trop for the kedushah in yotzer or. I used to be a real zealot.
 Mark certain tefillot where acharonim advise special attention, and the merits of special attention: yehi kavod, aleinu etc.
 Word counts. Word counts in the amidah for each brachah. Numbering shem Hashem in the amidah, or in yehi kavod, or in baruch Hashem or in az yashir etc.
 Marking certain kabbalistic roshei teivot, phrases where the roshei teivot had significance. I was a little kabbalist in my heyday. Marking the 15 vav's for example in emet veyatziv.
 Notes to remember the 6 zechirot in Ahavah Rabbah. Notes to remember the aseret hadibrot in shema.
 Notes for halachic stuff, like not to say the tamid before alot, or hanotein lasechvi vinah.
 There's no end.
 With regard to the comments above about post-it flags, this online shiur about post-its on shabbat might be interesting to some:
 10. Wait, Melech -
 "In your zealot days"? When did those end?
 11. Great stuff, Rabbi.
 I'm curious, though: in the context of your shiur, did you differentiate between doing this as preparation for tefillah vs. during the tefillah itself?
 I used to use an Artscroll siddur until I realized that I was going through the commentary when I was supposed to be davening. That was mussar in itself.
 12. Shmuel, that's why I predict taht after this shur is listened to by the masses, we'll all go out and buy the Birnbaum! It has no commentary and pleny of room to write it.
 It will be a retro revolution!
 13. Shmuel-
 I believe in only minimal notes - underlines, circling, asterisks. Maybe a word or two to hint at a greater idea.
 I do think it's worthwhile to make a note like that during davening (although not the Amidah), if it will enhance the experience.
 14. I finished the shiur tonight and actually went through mussaf for Rosh Chodesh tonight and started underlining certain things. For me it was less daunting to start w/ the amidah then starting at the beginning of the siddur.
 The shiur was great, but please post the link to the "book review lady". I found the suggestions practicle and your "program" really does allow for one to personalize the set tefillos. The actual workshop examples, like "Baruch She'ehmar" and "Ashrei" were helpful.
 Post importantly, just making an attempt to make notes on davening allows me to REALLY take time to read tefillos.
 15. Just finished the shiur tonight.
 I thought it was great, but would like the link for the "book review lady". I actually sat down and went through mussaf for Rosh Chodesh and made a few notes and did some underlining. It seemed less daunting to do this than actually start at the beginning of the siddur (for now).
 I thought the suggestions in the shiur to be practicle and loved the short workshops on "Baruch Sheh'ehmar" and "Ashrei".
 I think think the best part, for me, of attempting to write in my siddur is the fact that I will ACTUALLY have to think about the tefillos.
 16. Hi Neil,
 Thanks for your comments! The book reviewer is in Source 11 on this post.
 17. Thanks. That makes sense, seeing how I listened finished the shiur tonight and saw your sources last week.


React Native Camera – Libraries Comparison
Dawid Przydróżny
Sep 14, 2021 • 8 min read
For a long time in the RN environment, not much has happened in the field of libraries to support the camera.
We all used React Native Camera (RNCamera) because it was the most polished and recommended by the React Native community, but it seems that it is standing still and does not plan any active development. Fortunately, a new library has emerged from around the corner that could patch the hole of useful camera libraries in the RN environment: RN Vision Camera.
What is React Native Camera?
React Native Camera (RN Camera) is probably the most well-known camera library in the RN environment. We shouldn't be surprised because the start date for this library was just after React Native's release. It grew up with RN and has fulfilled its role through the years. The library was promoted and recommended by React Native for a long time, so the community that uses it is substantial. It's still a good library for using the camera in your app, just install React Native Camera and enjoy the cross-platform camera module with photo and video recording functionality. At this point, you may start wondering why this article was written at all when this library is mature, useful, and has a great community. There are a few problems with RN Camera: it has stopped developing and improving, there is a problem with maintainers, and finally, with better and better cameras in our smartphones we need more functionality and a better API to get the most out of the camera on our device — in summary, the library has become a bit rusty.
React Native camera libraries comparison
At the moment there are only three sensible libraries for using the phone's camera in RN apps, these are:
- Large community, mature product.
- Easy setup with just one additional step (permissions).
- Can be used with Expo.
- Good documentation with recipes.
- Valuable props to set autofocus, flash, ratio, white balance, exposure, zoom, and video quality.
- It is possible to switch between front and back cameras.
- Additional features like face detection, barcode detection, and text recognition.
- Library is actively looking for maintainers, which means it could be unsupported soon.
- Can't switch between all of the available camera lenses.
- There is no built-in UI, so everything must be implemented e.g. snap button.
RN Vision Camera
- Library is rapidly gaining popularity.
- Nice lifecycle mechanism that will keep the camera session if the app is in the background or the user is navigating to a different screen.
- The strongest point of the library — it can detect all device camera lenses and you can switch between them in the way you want.
- Each lens returns all possible formats you can use and additional props like min zoom, max zoom, it has torch, has flash, supports focus, supports raw capture, etc.
- There are some available presets that can be used (you can get lost with formats, it is usually around 60 of them available for each lens).
- It can take snapshots.
- Available frame processors — for example, it's possible to detect objects with the camera.
- Good documentation.
- Some additional installation steps needed like raise min iOS version, raise target Android SDK version, etc.
- Quite a fresh tool in the market, it will probably need some time to mature and release a really stable version.
- There is no built-in UI.
RN Image Picker
- Mature, popular, and maintained with a strong community.
- Simple to install and use.
- Can be used to pick already taken photos from the device.
- Can take a photo or even record video.
- Has a bunch of helpful props like max width, max height, media type, video quality, and duration limit.
- Only semi-good documentation.
- Limited possibilities for taking photos and recording video (but of course it's not the main purpose of this library).
Which RN camera library should you use?
For a simple app that will only use the camera to take a photo for a user avatar or record a short movie using default settings, the react-native-camera will be more than enough.
If you are building an app where the camera plays a bigger role and you need to get the most out of it, then go with react-native-vision-camera.
To select already taken photos that are stored in the phone's gallery, use the react-native-image-picker.
A strong point for react-native-vision-camera is the fact that react-native-camera is looking for maintainers, this will possibly make RN Vision Camera the default choice when it comes to a camera library for RN.
RN Vision Camera - implementation example (tutorial)
Below is an example of using the RN Vision Camera with basic tools to take a picture.
import React, { useRef, useState } from'react';
import { StyleSheet, Alert } from'react-native';
import { Camera, useCameraDevices } from'react-native-vision-camera';
import BottomButtons from './components/BottomButtons/BottomButtons';
import ImagePreview from './components/ImagePreview/ImagePreview';
import TopButtons from './components/TopButtons/TopButtons';
function App() {
 const camera = useRef(null);
 const [previewImage, setPreviewImage] = useState(null);
 const [showPreview, setShowPreview] = useState(false);
 const [torchActive, setTorchActive] = useState(false);
 const [frontCamera, setFrontCamera] = useState(false);
 /* Here we use hook provided by library to take available devices (lenses) */
 const availableDevices = useCameraDevices();
 /* useCameraDevices hook returns an object with front/back properties,
 that you can use to switch between back and front camera */
 const currentDevice =
 frontCamera && availableDevices?.front? availableDevices.front : availableDevices?.back;
 const takePhoto = async () => {
 try {
 const result = await camera.current?.takePhoto();
 if (result?.path) setPreviewImage(result.path);
 } catch (e) {
 Alert.alert('Error: ${e}');
 const flipCamera = () => setFrontCamera((prevState) =>!prevState);
 const toggleTorch = () => setTorchActive((prevState) =>!prevState);
 /* There is an additional check to prevent errors.
 Camera component needs a valid device prop,
 we need to stop rendering if the device is falsy value. */
 if (!currentDevice) return null;
 if (previewImage && showPreview) {
 return setShowPreview(false)} />;
} return (
torch={torchActive? 'on' : 'off'}
showPreview={() => setShowPreview(true)}
); } export default App;
Is it hard to create a UI in RN Vision Camera?
As we can see, not that much effort is needed to create a well-known standard camera UI in your app. With a minimal amount of code we have added the following buttons on the screen:
- Capture (center)
- Preview latest photo (left)
- Switch to front camera and vice versa (right)
- Flash (top-right)
This is only a small piece of the functionality that RN Vision Camera offers. There are a lot more options that can be used like zooming, recording, switching to wide-angle and telephoto lens, selecting photo/video format, setting video frame rate, and more.
React Native Vision Camera – my opinion
RN Vision Camera is really impressive when it comes to the possibilities it offers.
I can recommend it if you are looking for a functional camera library to use in your application.
This will be my choice for the camera library in my next project.

Parents from house of horrors sentenced: starved 6 children, teenage son weighed 37 lbs
(Colorado Springs, Colorado) Parents Bryan and Tonya Ricks of Colorado Springs, Colorado were reportedly sentenced to 25 years each for child abuse including" severe bodily harm and failure to provide medical attention."
The shocking house of horrors was discovered in 2009, when a family friend discovered the Ricks teenage son bedridden, in his own urine and feces, unable to walk or speak and extremely malnourished.
He wasn't the only child in the home. 5 other siblings, all girls, were also reportedly starved and abused.
According to KKTV the boy, whose name has been withheld to protect his identity, was removed from the home late 2009 but the other children weren't taken out of that horror house until early 2010.
Both of the Ricks reportedly expressed deep remorse in court during their sentencing on Monday and though the judge commended them for taking responsiblity by pleading guilty, he reportedly told them "it does not outweigh the severe, continuous abuse."
The boy, who is now 16 and lives with his foster parents, weighed a shocking 37 pounds when he was taken out of the home. To this day, he cannot walk and is learning to do so while he mostly crawls. The years of neglect and abuse have severely hindered his development, as well as his siblings. He and his 5 sisters had to be taught basic skills like using a toothbrush, tying their shoelaces, using a fork and a toilet.
Their motor skills were so impaired they couldn't hold a pencil or dress themselves. Their teeth were rotten, one child lost nine teeth. The girls hair were extremely dry, brittle and their skin were allegedly like alligator's--rough and dry.
The children have never seen a doctor or attended school. One of them had a condition which left a hole in her heart and others had asthma. The 16-year-old had severe seizures which has reportedly damaged his brain permanently because he did not get any medical attention.
They are all now in specialized foster care for they need continued therapy for a myriad of problems. they have already received occupational, physical and psychological therapy. They are learning to live normal lives.

Climate change and Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore
Photo: US EPA
JANRUARY 2011 --The Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore (IDNL) is identified as one the top 25 US National Parks in peril due to climate disruption, according to the Rocky Mountain Climate Organization. On January 27th, 2011 more than 25 researchers, scientists, and natural resource managers convened at the IDNL training center to discuss recommendations for a strategic plan being developed for the National Lakeshore by the National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA). Topics included natural resource management, research opportunities, and how climate change might be considered in this plan. Scientests from Ecologists from The Field Museum's Division of Environment, Culture, and Conservation (ECCo) presented information on projected climate change impacts to the region and facilitated the discussion. Recommendations will appear in the NPCA strategic plan due to be completed in Summer 2011.

The Church is a family. We fellowship with one another, but because of the ever-increasing number, we need to join small groups to have a real fellowship life. During the Lord Jesus' ministry on earth, thousands followed him. However, he chose 12 Apostles to live together with him. They were a small group.
The core value of fellowship with small group is 'sharing'. Acts 4:36 to 5:11 record two stories: the first is the story of Barnabas, the second is the story of a couple named Ananias and Sapphira. They sold everything they owned and gave the money from the sale to the Church, and they shared it with the brethren; however, one was true giving and the other false. Lt us learn from these examples the difference between true and false sharing.
1. Praise vs Flattery
2. Generous vs Greedy Sharing
3. Sharing to Give vs Sharing to Test God
4. True Sharing vs False Sharing

The Pitch-Key is capable of de-tuning and re-tuning the string very accurately but it is important to make sure that your guitar is properly prepared as follows:-
The use of a low-friction nut is recommended, as are nut slot grease and locking tuning posts. It is important that the Pitch-Key touches only the strings of the guitar so that it does not restrict any natural string movement.
Your guitar will require a minimum 30mm free string length in between the nut and the tuning post for use with the Pitch-Key. Note that slotted headstock instruments may not be suitable due to
the restricted space in between the strings and the headstock.
If preferred, the stabilizer leg gap can be carefully enlarged to suit the diameter of a typical adjacent string. Ensure that the final gap does not fit tightly over the adjacent string. An Occasional application of light oil to the moving parts is recommended for continued smooth operation.

On tablets and convertible devices, Windows 10 can control their motion sensor to rotate the desktop to landscape or portrait mode automatically depending on the orientation of the screen.
However, sometimes auto-rotation in desktop or tablet mode may stop working for no apparent reason, or the "Rotation lock" option may appear grayed out making it impossible for Windows 10 to turn the screen to the correct orientation automatically.
If auto-rotation isn't working after covering your troubleshooting basics, such as checking for updates and restarting your device, there are a number of steps you can follow to fix this issue.
In this Windows 10 guide, we'll walk you through five solutions you can try to get screen rotation working again on your tablet or convertible.
How to fix screen auto-rotation problems on Windows 10
Disconnecting peripherals
If you're using a 2-in-1 device like the Surface Pro, accessories, such as a detachable keyboard or dock can cause screen rotation problems.
To check if an accessory is causing rotation problems, do the following:
 1. Disconnect the keyboard, dock, or external display.
 2. Change the orientation of the device to see if it rotates automatically.
Checking screen rotation settings
It's also likely that you might have accidentally turned on the rotation lock option that prevents your device from rotating. If this is the case, do the following:
 1. Use the Windows key + A keyboard shortcut to open Action Center.
 2. Click the Expand button.
 3. Click the Rotation lock to turn it off.
 - Quick Tip: You can also control this option under Scale and layout on Settings > System > Display.
 4. Change the orientation of the device to see if it rotates automatically.
In certain devices, such as the Microsoft Surface Pro, Windows 10 will lock screen rotation and disable the "Rotation lock" option when a keyboard is attached and in a typing position. However, folding the keyboard or closing the device will release the lock and the screen will once again rotate automatically.
Running troubleshooter
If the screen will still not rotate, you can use the Sensors Troubleshooter to fix the problem.
 1. Download the Sensor Troubleshooter from Microsoft.
 2. Double-click the SensorDiagnosticTablet.diagcab to launch the experience.
 3. Click the Next button.
 4. The utility will scan, detect, and fix common problems with the sensors on your computer, including the motion sensor.
 5. Click the Close button.
After completing the steps, try to change the orientation of the device to see if auto-rotation works.
Updating motion sensor driver
Although it's rare, the rotation problem could be caused by a driver issue. If this is the case, you should try updating the sensors driver.
You can check this guide to learn the steps on how to update a device driver. If you're using Device Manager, typically, this device will appear under "Sensor I/O devices" or "Sensors."
Fixing screen auto-rotation grayed out
If you have tried all the solutions, and you continue to see the rotation lock option grayed out, even after disconnecting the keyboard, dock, or disabling the external display, then do the following:
 3. Browse the following path:
 - Quick Tip: On the Windows 10 Creators Update and later, you can now copy and paste the path into the new Registry's address bar to quickly jump to the key destination.
 4. Double-click the Enable DWORD and make sure the value is set to 1.
 5. Click OK.
 6. Double-click the LastOrientation DWORD and make sure the value is set to 0.
 7. Click OK.
 8. Double-click the SensorPresent DWORD and make sure the value is set to 1.
 9. Click OK.
 10. Double-click the SlateEnable DWORD and make sure the value is set to 1.
 11. Click OK.
Once you've completed the steps, restart your device to see if auto-rotation works again.
If any of these DWORDs are missing from the AutoRotation key, you'll have to create them manually:
 1. While in the Registry, right-click the AutoRation key, select New, and click on DWORD (32-bit) Value.
 2. Enter the name of the key that is missing and press Enter.
 3. Double-click the newly DWORD key and make sure its value is set as described on steps No. 4, 6, 8, and 10 in the above instructions depending on the key you're creating.
After completing the steps, restart your device and try to change the screen orientation to see if it works.
In the case, you're still having issues, you can ask in the Windows Central forums for additional help.

- choleric •
Part of Speech: Adjective
Meaning: Hot-tempered, peevish, ill-tempered, bilious
Notes: Today's Good Word is an adjective from an adjective, for the noun melancholy, on which melancholic is based, may also be used as an adjective, as to receive a melancholy letter from home. Obversely, melancholic may be used as a noun as well as an adjective, as someone who is an inveterate melancholic who seldom leaves the house. Melancholically is the appropriate adverb for today's adjective.
In Play: If you are tired of hearing and saying grumpy and would like to elevate the tone of your conversation, today's Good Word is perfect for you: "I guess the diet isn't working for Les Waite; I got a choleric reply when I asked him about it." If you are like me, you never did like the new use of ballistic, either, so why not substitute today's Good Word for it, too: "Donny Brooke was out of humor when he came in this morning but when he saw the stack of work on his desk, he became choleric."
Word History: Today's Good Word came from Latin cholera "jaundice", borrowed from Greek khole "bile". The ancients distinguished between yellow bile and black bile, the latter apparently imaginary. Yellow bile, however, is that bile secreted by the liver. Its Greek name comes from the same original Proto-Indo-European root (ghel- "to shine") that produced English yellow and gold. In German today it is gelb "yellow". Most English words containing GL and referring to light contain a reduction of the same root: gleam, glimmer, glitter, glow, and the like. Latin galbinus "yellowish" comes from the same root. It hardly changed in Romanian galben, but became jaunice in Old French. English borrowed the French word, reshaping it into jaundice, the yellowness of the skin when hepatitis disturbs the yellow bile of the liver.

11 reasons for the Price difference in Bellota hams
We can find Iberian jamón de bellota for less than €40/kg and for more than €400/kg. It's a huge difference which is not justified solely by the quality of the final product, but a combination of different factors.
1. Breed
Better quality Pata Negra hams come from 100% Iberian pigs, which cost to raise is significantly higher than cross-breeds. They fatten a lot slower, they produce smaller hams and the litters are smaller in number.
2. Food on the farm
Iberian pigs on a farm
Iberian pigs on a farm, a few days before going to the pasture to start the montanera period (free-range grazing)
From weaning until it is driven to the mountain, the animal spends a few months on a farm, where it is fed on a diet of fodder. The pig can't go from drinking the milk of its mother one day to eating acorns the next; it needs time to adapt. One example is what we do with human babies. Once they stop weaning we slowly begin to introduce baby food (cereals and fruit), alternating them with a bottle. This goes on for several weeks until the baby is ready to try other foods such as fish and meat, and later on dried fruits and nuts, etc.
Returning to animal food, there are many prices that are dependent on the quality of the raw material and the combination of cereals and other nutrients in the formula.
3. Age and weight on entering the montanera phase
The law sets minimum conditions for the age and weight to be able to label a ham "de bellota":
 - The weight on beginning the montanera phase should be between 92 and 115 kg.
 - During the montanera phase they should be fattened at least 46 kg on a diet of acorns and grass.
 - The minimum age at slaughter is 14 months.
 - The minimum individual carcass weight (after removal of the skin, head and viscera) is 115 kg, except for 100% Iberian animals, in which case the minimum is 108 kg.
Thus, a producer who meets the minimum legal requirements is able to sell hams with a lower production cost than those who are significantly above the threshold, at the expense of quality, of course.
4. Duration of the montanera period
The Royal Decree 4/2014 rules that the pig must spend a minimum of 2 months in the pasture, but there are farmers who extend this by 1 or 2 months, or more. In some cases pigs are given 2 montanera periods. That is, when acorn season is over, they are brought back to the farm until the next season, when they will eat more acorns again.
The longer the montanera period is, the more acorns are eaten and the more exercise undertaken, and so the Pata Negra will be of a higher quality. But this comes with a cost: the shepherds and vets must work more, and the number of casualties among the pigs rises as a result of illness, theft or attacks from other wildlife that inhabit the mountain. Furthermore, the jamón will need more months of maturation, because the quality of the fat would be higher and so the oxidation would be slower.
5. Quality of the montanera
Iberian pigs eating acorns in the pasture
Iberian pigs eating acorns in the pasture
It's not the fair to put 50 pigs in a pasture of 500 hectares, the same as you would put 100 in the same amount of space. They'd get half the amount of acorns.
Naturally the law limits the density of animals per square metre, and the density of oaks. Therefore manufacturers need to hire an inspection company to certify that their pastures are compliant. But even within the legal limits there are some producers who are closer to the minimum than others.
The quality and quantity of acorns is not the same at all times nor in all pastures. Pigs are very selective and will find the best acorns first, the biggest and sweetest, which are the major contributors to the overall quality of the hams and sausages.
6. Organic vs. Conventional
Undoubtedly one of the aspects that most influences the final price is the condition of organic ham. The limitation in pharmacological treatments raises the mortality of pigs, the absence of preservatives makes many hams spoil before being sold and the cost of the feed is much higher. We must also add the costs of certification and control of the authorities.
Production of organic Iberico ham in Spain is negligible; we only have half a dozen small producers.
7. Maturation period
Hams curing in the cellar
Hams curing in the cellar
A Jamón de bellota loses between 8% and 10% of its weight each year that it's hanging in the cellar (between 7% and 9% in the shoulders). Basically what you lose is water. Thus, if the sale comes within 2 years instead of 3, we can reduce its price by about 10% while maintaining the same margin.
Not surprisingly the quality is not the same. One extra year of maturation brings new aromas, a more intense flavour and easier cutting.
8. Salt
Excess salt, besides being harmful to health also hides a lot of the flavours of ham. Consumers tend to prefer sweeter and softer Iberian hams, especially in recent times.
But what happens if we fall short of salt? Well, two things can happen:
 1. The meat contaminates and rots (salt is the main preservative), or
 2. The muscle tissue loses consistency and flavour. It's what people in the business call jamón chicloso (gummy ham).
Thus, those manufacturers who strive to minimize the concentration of salt to get better tasting hams know they will have to throw out some pieces. Consequently, they'll have to sell the others at a higher price to compensate for these losses.
9. Brand
Prestige, exclusivity and advertising campaigns have a direct effect on the selling price.
In 2006 Cárnicas Maldonado launched a special series of €1500 hams called Alba Quercus (renamed Albarragena). Others followed such as Joselito with his Vintage series at €2000 and Jamones Premium by Arturo Sánchez at €4.000… Logically the series don't last very long; the hams are really good but the price per kg hardly justifies the final quality. In fact, they are often instruments for marketing campaigns.
On the other hand, manufacturers with strong brands know that customers are willing to pay a little more for the security that comes with their name and reputation.
10. Commerce
A ham of the same brand can be found at very different prices between one store and another. Not everyone works with the same margins. It's also possible to lower the price of the ham but end up paying for the service: high delivery costs, very restrictive return policy, poor customer service…
The country where the trade is largely determines the final price. Some manufacturers require sellers to buy the product to the official importer only, and therefore the prices are usually much higher than in its place of origin or in a more competitive environment.
11. Time of year in which the purchase is made
The price of ham is usually quite stable throughout the year, although there may be periods of shortages that drive up the price. It happens, for example, when a manufacturer has exhausted the pieces of a campaign and the next lot are still a little tender.
The additives in Pata Negra ham
Until recently, what worried consumers most was the salt content of cured ham. WHO (World Health Organisation) recommends consuming a maximum of 5g per day (even less in children and adolescents) to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, although the world average of between 9 and 12g is more than double.
These days it seems that other additives used by most manufacturers generate more fear or distrust in consumers: preservatives, antioxidants, acidity regulators … This article will try to explain why they are used and what the associated health risks are.

Salt (photo by Gregory Bourolias)
Salt is the oldest known preservative and without it meat would rot. It's also a flavour enhancer: we tend to find that ham with less than 2.5% salt is tasteless and with an unpleasant texture.
Pata negra ham (jamón ibérico) has the least salt content of them all (between 2.5% to 4.5%). It's followed by Serrano ham (5%), Bayonne ham (5.5%) and Parma ham (5.7%). Credit goes to genetics in this case: the marbling fat and higher pH level in Iberico hams hinders the penetration of the salt.
When compared with other types of products, it would be at the same level as Roquefort cheese or olives.
As we mentioned in the introduction, it's been proven that excess salt increases the risk of cardiovascular disease (hypertension, heart attacks, etc.) but it's also thought to cause kidney failure and osteoporosis.
The most commonly used preservatives are potassium nitrate (E-250) and sodium nitrite (E-252). Nitrates and nitrites have been used for hundreds of years and play an important role in ensuring the microbiological safety (especially protecting consumers from botulism) of foodstuffs.

How to Define a Document Script Fragment
You can create a Template Fragment to return data from a Document Script. You do this by creating a Script that returns either an empty string or a string that contains raw RTF. You add a reference to this Script in the 'Template Fragment Document Options', and the returned RTF string is added to the generated document.
This is an example of a Document Script you might create:
!INC Local Scripts.EAConstants-JScript
function main()
{
 var reporting as EA.DocumentGenerator;
 reporting = CreateDocumentGenerator();
 if(reporting != null)
 {
 if(reporting.NewDocument(""))
 {
 if(!reporting.LoadDocument("<filename>"))
 {
 Session.Output( "Error: " + reporting.GetLastError() );
 }
 return reporting.GetDocumentAsRTF();
 }
 }
}

1
Open or create a Template Fragment in the Document Template Editor.
Document Templates Creating a Template Fragment
2
In the Document Template Editor, right-click on the Template background and click on the icon.
The 'Document Options' dialog displays.
3
Select the 'Custom Query' page.
4
In the 'Template Fragment type' panel, select the 'Document Script' radio button.
5
A field displays to the right of the radio button panel; click on the drop-down arrow and select the Model Script to be used by your Template Fragment.
Create Search Definitions
6
In the main text field on the tab, type the entry point of your Script that returns the RTF Text.
For example, in JScript, the call to your script would be in the form:
 Main(#OBJECTID#);
(For VBScript, omit the semi-colon at the end.)
7
Click on the OK button to close the 'Document Options' dialog.
Setting Sections for Reporting
8
In the 'Document Template Editor', in the 'Sections' panel, select the 'Custom' checkbox to create the 'Custom' section.
9
Save the Template Fragment, and add a call to it in a normal document template.
When run, this will return an RTF string that is incorporated into the generated document.
Notes
 - The Model Search macros #..# can be used in the call statement that calls the procedure, but not in the procedure code; in your call statement you can reference model details using:
 - #OBJECTID# to return the ID of the element currently being processed by the document template
 - #PACKAGEID# and #Package# to return the ID of the Package currently being processed by the
 document template
 - #Branch# to get the IDs of the child Packages of the current Package being processed, working
 recursively down to the lowest level of sub-Package; this is only valid when processing a Package,
 elements return a 0 value
 - #UserName# to get the name of the user logged into Version Control
 - #Author# takes the user name from the 'Author' field in the 'General' page of the 'Preferences'
 dialog, so the defined search can be performed on objects created by that user (this value can
 be manually re-set in the 'Preferences' dialog)

The RPG-HC4 is a high performance gas regulator specifically developed for high capacity required by offshore firewater systems.
The RPG-HC4 controls a downstream gas pressure and is capable of supplying a large volume of gas in order to sustain a set pressure level in the recipient.
The regulator is used in active hydrophore systems for fire water offshore. The RPG-HC4 will maintain the given set pressure in the system while the hydrophore tank discharging water into the deluge system in the critical seconds before the firewater pumps is up running. This secures positive pressure in the entire pipenet and prevents pressure surges.

Managing inter-object dependencies in object-oriented systems is a complex task. Changes of one object often require dependent objects to change accordingly. Making every object explicitly inform every dependent object about its state changes intertwines object interfaces and implementations, thereby hampering system evolution and maintenance. These problems can be overcome by introducing the notion of Implicit Invocation as a decoupling mechanism between objects to object-oriented systems. This paper presents the Event Notification pattern, a pattern to smoothly integrate implicit invocation mechanisms with object-oriented designs. State changes of objects, dependencies of other objects on them and the maintenance links between these objects are made explicit as first class objects. The resulting structure is highly flexible and can be used to manage inter-object dependencies in object-oriented systems efficiently.

Research conducted to measure the performance of PSL when exposed to fire demonstrates that it is appropriate for use in all applications for which solid sawn lumber and timbers are suited.
As a result of evaluations done in Canada by the Canadian Construction Materials Center (CCMC) and in the US by the Council of American Building Officials (CABO) PSL has been accepted for use in Heavy Timber construction when of appropriate cross section. Like timbers and glulam members, PSL of large cross section has proven to be resistant to fire because the low thermal conductivity of wood retards heat penetration, and slow charring rates allow these large members to maintain a high percentage of their original section.
The Fire Safety Design in Buildings book provides further information on building code requirements relating to fire safety and details the minimum size requirements for Heavy Timber construction.
General guidelines for PSL:
- Determine the load capacity required.
- Select size of PSL member which will meet the required load capacity.
- Ask the local distributor for technical literature and contact the manufacturer if engineering assistance is required.
- Determine if PSL members will be directly exposed to weathering or high temperature and high humidity for significant periods during the life of the structure. If so, consult with the manufacturer for information about preservative treatment.
- Check local availability for sizes and lengths.
- PSL is a patented product manufactured in both Canada and the US. For additional product information or technical information, contact Weyerhaeuser.

The steps below describe an easy way of creating mosaics from mapped hyperspectral files, making use of the command line GDAL utilities. They can be installed on Windows through OSGeo4W, and are available on Linux through the package manager (e.g., yum, apt-get).
The initial mosaic is a 'virtual raster', which comprises a text file with links to other files containing the data. It is created using the gdalbuildvrt command, available with GDAL and also in QGIS through the Raster, Miscellaneous menu.
gdalbuildvrt -srcnodata 0 f216_mosaic.vrt /path/to/file/f216073b_mapped_osng.bil /path/to/file/f216083b_mapped_osng.bil
The above command creates a virtual raster 'f216_mosaic.vrt' from two bil files, setting the no-data value to 0. The full path to each BIL file is passed in so they are stored in the VRT (useful if the VRT file is moved). You can also create a VRT from all '.bil' files using:
gdalbuildvrt -srcnodata 0 f216_mosaic.vrt /path/to/file/*.bil
The VRT file can be used as any other file in programs which use GDAL (e.g., QGIS, ArcGIS, TuiView). However, for displaying it is often more convenient to create band / spatial subsets using the gdal_translate, also available through QGIS under Raster, Conversion, Translate.
command. For example to create a three band subset using bands 38, 25 and 12 use:
gdal_translate -of GTiff -b 38 -b 25 -b 12 f216_mosaic.vrt f216_mosaic_bandsubset.tif
Note, as all the flightlines use a slightly different grid a nearest neighbour interpolation will be preformed to create a common grid. Standard GeoTiff's aren't compressed so areas outside the flightlines, which have no data, will take up as much space as pixels with data. You can reduce the file size by using compression. You can tell gdal_translate to create a compressed GeoTiff by passing in a creation option flag for example:
gdal_translate -of GTiff -co "COMPRESS=LZW" -b 38 -b 25 -b 12 f216_mosaic.vrt f216_mosaic_bandsubset.tif
Note, not all programs support compressed GeoTiffs.
To make the mosaic faster to display you can create overviews using the gdaladdo command:
gdaladdo f216_mosaic_bandsubset.tif 2 4 8 16


US alone. Worst case statistics show approximately 12 ferret attacks ever recorded in the US. Dr. Bruce Williams, DVM, adds: I can say from personal experience that there are many, many more bite incidents with the household dog or cat, and that either of these species tend to do a lot more damage. I have seen children require over a hundred facial stitches from getting between the dog and its food, but never anything like this with a ferret. But I've also been nailed by my share of ferrets too. Personally, I don't recommend ferrets for people with children under 6 or 7 - either the child or the ferret ends up getting hurt.
Subject: (3.9) What are the different ferret colors? Ferrets often change colors with the seasons, lighter in the winter than in the summer, and many of them lighten as they age, too. Different ferret organizations recognize different colors and patterns, but unless you're planning to enter your ferret in a show, the exact label isn't particularly important. Some of the more commonly accepted colors are described in general terms below, adapted from summaries written by William and Diane Killian of Zen and the Art of Ferrets and Pam Troutman of STAR*Ferrets. The albino is white with red eyes and a pink nose. A dark-eyed white can have very light eyes and can possibly be confused with an albino. These can actually range from white to cream colored with the whiter the color the better. A dark-eyed white (often called a black-eyed white) is a ferret with white guard hairs but eyes darker than the red of an albino. The sable has rich dark brown guard hairs with golden highlights, with a white to golden undercoat. A black sable has blue-black guard hairs with no golden or brownish cast, with a white to cream undercoat. The chocolate is described as warm dark to milk chocolate brown with a white to golden or amber undercoat and highlights. A cinnamon is a rich light reddish brown with a golden to white undercoat. This can also be used to describe a ferret with light, tan guard hairs with pinkish or reddish highlights. Straight tan is a champagne. A silver starts out grey, or white with a few black hairs. The ferret may or may not have a mask. There is a tendency for the guard hair to lighten to white evenly over the body. As a ferret ages each progressive coat change has a higher percentage of white rather than dark guard hairs. Eventually the ferret could be all white. White patches on the throat might be called throat stars, throat stripes, or bibs; white toes, mitts (sometimes called silver mitts), or stockings go progressively further up the legs. A blaze or badger has a white stripe on the top of the head, and a panda has a fully white head. A siamese has an even darker color on the legs and tail than usual and a V-shaped mask; and a self is nearly solid in color.
Subject: (3.10) What do you call a ferret male/female/baby/group? A male is called a hob, and a female is a jill. To some people, neutered males are gibs and neutered females are sprites, but these are new terms and aren't as commonly used. A baby ferret of either sex is a kit. The most commonly accepted phrase for a group is "a business of ferrets". Some people spell it "busyness" instead. Another possibility, "fastening" or "fesnyng," is thought to be due to a misreading of "bysnys" long ago.
Subject: (3.11) How can I help the ferret community? There are lots of ways you can help the ferret community at large. If your ferrets are very trustworthy and have had their vaccinations, [9.2] take them with you to the park or pet store and show people what wonderful pets they are, to counteract all the false rumors. (Be very careful, though: if your ferret should nip or scratch someone, even by accident, some states will kill him for rabies testing, even if he's been vaccinated. You may want to only let people pet his back.) Give good ferret information, perhaps a copy of this general FAQ and the Medical FAQs [1.1], to your vet. Adopt, foster, or sponsor a ferret from a local shelter, or donate old towels, shirts, food, litter, cages, money, or time. Many shelters could use help with construction projects, computer setup and use, recordkeeping, etc., as well as day-to-day ferret care, cage cleaning, and trips to the vet. (However, shelter directors are very busy people, and may have established routines they'd rather not have disrupted, so don't be offended if your offer of help is refused. Ask if there's something else you could do instead.) To find a shelter near you, see the STAR*Ferrets list of clubs, shelters, etc. [1.2] or contact a local ferret club. Participate in the "Support Our Shelters" coupon book program, in which you send $25 and receive a book of grocery store coupons of YOUR choice worth at least $200.

Design of Mapwindow Plug-In to estimate water irrigation requirement: Application at Sampean Baru Water Irrigation District
MetadataShow full item record
Thee research focuses on the design of simple water requirement program. The tool was design as Plug-In that run on the top of Mapwindow GIS. The Plug-In was developed to predict and to schematized water requiement for Water-Irrigation-Districts (WID). The Plug-In was applied at Sampean Baru Water Irrigation District, in East Java Province. Research method include: (1) survey, (2) design software, and (3) implementation on the water irrigation district. Survey was conducted to collect hydro-meteorological data and irrigation water demand at Irrigation District. The Visual Basic.Net was used to: design program, calculate water demand, and predict water availability and water allocation. Water allocation was scheduled based on ten (10) days interval. Potential Evapotranspiration (ETo) was calculated using meteorological data by means of Penman-Monteith Equation. Water availability was predicted from rainfall and observed discharge data. The result show that, the Plug-In perform it capability to predict: water availability, water demand and recommendation of water allocation for Sampean Baru WID. Furthermore, plug-In interface is design based on MapWindowGIS, that can be further developed and integrated with spatial database of water irrigation district.

Microsoft Patents Realistic Avatars
Microsoft Patents Realistic Avatars
It appears that Microsoft plan on revamping its Avatar system after registering the patent "Avatar Individualised by Physical Characteristics".
Microsofts aim is to eliminate the sense of artificiality, allowing people to see if other players portray themselves as they actually are, as well as encouraging exercise.
The Patent states:
"An Avatar generator for a virtual environment reflects a physiological characteristic of the user, injecting a degree of reality into the capabilities or appearance.
"Thereby, many of the incentives of the real world are replicated in a virtual environment.
"Physiological data that reflect a degree of health of the real person can be linked to rewards of capabilities of a gaming Avatar, an amount of time budgeted to play, or a visible indication.
Thereby, people are encouraged to exercise. Physiological data that reflect the health and perhaps also mood also improve social interaction in virtual environments.
"People seeking to meet and become acquainted with particular types of people are not thwarted by the artificiality of Avatars,"
The data can apparantly be retrieved through the use of physiological monitors that determine heart rate, blood sugar levels etc.

In this paper we use information on the cyclical variation of labor market participation to learn about the aggregate labor supply elasticity. For this purpose, we extend the standard labor market matching model to allow for endogenous participation. A model that is calibrated to replicate the variability of unemployment and participation, and the negative correlation of unemployment and GDP, implies an aggregate labor supply elasticity along the extensive margin of around 0.3 for men and 0.5 for women. This is in line with recent micro-econometric estimates.
Another paper that tries to reconcile macro and micro estimates of the labor supply elasticity. The novel approach here is to exploit information about the participation rate.

I've got a table defined like this :
create table _TAG_
(bar float)
And I'm looking for a way to round every value contained in column bar without changing the total sum (which is known to be an integer, or very close to an integer because of float number precision).
Rounding every value to the nearest integer won't work (ex : 1,5;1,5 will be rounded to 1;1 or 2;2)
It's quite easy to do this using several requests (eg storing the original sum, rounding, computing the new sum, and updating as many rows as needed to go back to the original sum), but this is not a very elegant solution.
Is there a way to do this using a single SQL request?
I'm using SQL Server 2008, so solutions taking advantage of this specific vendor are welcome.
Edit : I'm looking for a request minimizing the differences between the old values and the new ones. In other words, a value should never be rounded up if a greater value has been rounded down, and vice-versa

See this solution explained in more details in the article in my blog:
You need to keep cumulative offset for each value:
1.2 (1 + 0.0) ~ 1 1 1.2 +0.2
1.2 (1 + 0.2) ~ 1 2 2.4 +0.4
1.2 (1 + 0.4) ~ 1 3 3.6 +0.6
1.2 (1 + 0.6) ~ 2 5 4.8 -0.2
1.2 (1 - 0.2) ~ 1 6 6.0 0.0
This is easily done in MySQL, but in SQL Server you will have to write a cursor or use cumulative subselects (which are less efficient).
The query below selects the difference between the sums of the values and of those rounded down to the nearest smaller integer.
This gives us the number (N) of values we should round up.
Then we order the values by their fractional part (ones that are closer to their ceiling go first) and round the first N up, the others down.
SELECT value,
 FLOOR(value) + CASE WHEN ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY value - FLOOR(value) DESC) <= cs THEN 1 ELSE 0 END AS nvalue
FROM (
 SELECT cs, value
 FROM (
 SELECT SUM(value) - SUM(FLOOR(value)) AS cs
 FROM _USER_
 ) c
 CROSS JOIN
 ) q
Here's the script for the test data:
SELECT RAND(0.20090917)
SET _USER_ = 0;
WHILE _USER_ < 100
 INTO _USER_
 VALUES (FLOOR(RAND() * 100) / 10)
 SET _USER_ = _USER_ + 1
INTO _USER_
SELECT 600 - SUM(value)

_USER_ : thanks for your answer. With your solution, 1.4/1.4/1.2 would be rounded to 1/1/2 which isn't 'fair' since 1.4 is greater than 1.2. – Brann Sep 17 '09 at 10:43
_USER_ : that's exactly the kind of thing I was looking for. Thanks! – Brann Sep 17 '09 at 12:17
_USER_ : in my realworld problem, I've got another column 'ListID', and I want the sum per ListID to remain constant. I've adapted your request using group by clauses, and it almost works, BUT the ROW_NUMBER applies to my whole request, instead of the grouped by request. Is there something I can do? – Brann Sep 17 '09 at 12:46
_USER_: could you please post some sample data and the desired resultset? – Quassnoi Sep 17 '09 at 12:48
_USER_: meanwhile, try to replace OVER (ORDER BY value) with OVER (PARTITTION BY listID ORDER BY value). This will return you the row numbers groupwise. – Quassnoi Sep 17 '09 at 12:50

If you have a list of n values whose elements are accurate only to within an integer value (+-0.5), then any sum of those elements will have a cumulative error or +-(n*0.5). If you have 6 elements in your list which should add up to some number, then your worst case scenario is that you're off by 3 if you just add the integer values.
If you find some way of showing 10.2 as 11 in order to make the sum work, you've changed the precision of that element from +-0.5 to +-0.8, which is counterintuitive when looking at integers?
One possible solution to think about is to round your number during display only (using some format string on your output), not already at the retrieval stage. Each number will be as close as possible to the actual value, but the sum will be more correct too.
Example: If you have 3 values of 1/3 each, displayed as whole-numbered percentages, then you should be showing 33, 33 and 33. To do anything else is to create a margin of error greater than +-0.5 for any individual value. Your total should still be displayed as 100%, because that is the best possible value (as opposed to working with sums of already rounded values)
Also, be aware that by using a float, you've already introduced a limitation on your precision because you have no way of accurately representing 0.1. For more on that, read What Every Computer Scientist Should Know About Floating-Point Arithmetic

_USER_: Yes, showing 10.2 as 11 is exactly what I'm trying to achieve. And that's what the user wants to see, too. – Brann Sep 17 '09 at 12:21

First get the difference between the rounded sum and the actual sum, and the number of records:
declare _USER_ float, _USER_ float, _USER_ int
select _USER_ = sum(bar), _USER_ = sum(round(bar)), _USER_ = count(*)
from _TAG_
Then you spread the difference equally on all values before rounding:
declare _USER_ float
set _USER_ = (_USER_ - _USER_) / _USER_
select bar = round(bar + _USER_)
from _TAG_

_USER_ : if I'm not mistaking : 0.2/0.2/0.2/0.2/0.2, sum=1, roundedsum=0, offest=0.2, finalresulst = 0/0/0/0/0, finalsum=0. – Brann Sep 17 '09 at 10:57
_USER_: Yes, you are right, this doesn't give the right result. However, the principle of spreading the deviation equally is sound. I'll give it some more though... – Guffa Sep 17 '09 at 11:32

Since Sun Lakes has been designated a Dementia Friendly Community, many Sun Lakes residents have taken the Dementia Friend Info class. The Info Session helps in understanding dementia and how to best help friends, neighbors, and associates living with it. There are still many neighbors in our community who have not yet been educated. We would love to help!
Dementia is an overall term that describes a wide range of symptoms associated with a decline in memory of other thinking skills, severe enough to reduce a person's ability to perform everyday activities.
Join us by learning more about Dementia Friends at March's upcoming information session, and you can help spread awareness. The Dementia Friendly Info Session is scheduled for Wednesday, March 6, at 10:30 a.m. at the Sheriff's Posse offices located at 9531 E. Riggs Road in Sun Lakes.
Each session lasts one hour and explains the five key messages and helps attendees understand Dementia Friends and what it means to be one. The goal is to help community members understand dementia, become less intimidated by interacting with people living with it, and learn small ways they can make a difference for people living with dementia.

Introduction: Grow Silver Crystals by Electrochemistry
In this video we grow crystals of pure silver metal by electochemistry.
The procedure is fairly simple. Just apply an electric current between a silver anode and an aluminum or silver metal cathode while they are immersed in silver nitrate solution. The silver ions from the anode will deposit on the cathode.
The crystals are microscopic so to see them the solution is placed under a microscope. A glass slide may be placed over the solution to keep the surface flat so you can see it better.
The crystals grow in different shapes depending on concentration and current applied.

- owe (v.)
- Old English agan (past tense ahte) "to have, own," from Proto-Germanic *aiganan "to possess" (cf. Old Frisian aga, Old Norse eiga, Old High German eigan, Gothic aigan "to possess, have"), from PIE *aik- "to be master of, possess" (cf. Sanskrit ise "he owns," isah "owner, lord, ruler;" Avestan is- "riches," isvan- "well-off, rich").
Sense of "to have to repay" began in late Old English with the phrase agan to geldanne literally "to own to yield," which was used to translate Latin debere (earlier in Old English this would have been sceal "shall"); by late 12c. the phrase had been shortened to simply agan, and own (v.) took over this word's original sense.
An original Germanic preterite-present verb (cf. can, dare, may, etc.). New past tense form owed arose 15c. to replace oughte, which developed into ought (v.).

Bamfurlong was a farm in the boggy region of the Marish in the eastern Shire. It was the home of Farmer Maggot, who (like the other Hobbits in this inhospitable area) lived above ground rather than in a traditional Hobbit-hole. Maggot's farm was well-known in the area for his mushrooms, which he protected fiercely against trespassers with his three fearsome dogs.
The center of the farm consisted of a large farm house with associated farm-buildings. They were all made of brick with thatched roofs, and enclosed within a high wall with a wooden gate to the outside lane.
When Frodo Baggins was young and lived at Brandy Hall he occasionally sneaked onto the farm to poach some mushrooms. On the last visit Maggot had caught Frodo and gave him a beating for his thievery. Years later Frodo remained in terror of the farmer and his dogs.
On 25 September T.A. 3018, Frodo, Sam, and Pippin came to Bamfurlong in the afternoon. There they met Farmer Maggot and learned that earlier a Black Rider had visited the farm and enquired about Baggins. The traveling hobbits gratefully accepted a hearty supper before the farmer drove them to Bucklebury Ferry in his wagon.
The name Bamfurlong derives from words meaning very roughly 'bean-field'. A furlong is a division of a common field.
Bamfurlong is a real-life English place-name


How are students engaging with their careers services?
Friday, March 29, 2019
Are your students engaging with your careers service? We've used responses from the 2019 Trendence UK Graduate Survey to show what students really think of their careers services and how they are engaging with the resources provided to them.
Here are some of our key findings:
Careers services' websites ARE a useful tool
The students who had engaged with their careers services' website found it to be a useful tool, with 69% stating that they had used the website to research and find information on their future career. This emphasises the importance of having a website that is functional, informative and easy to use. However, don't neglect the marketing of the resources available on your website – 11% of the students we surveyed didn't even know that there was a website for them to use!
University careers fairs lead to powerful engagement
In a previous article published on our insights blog, we stated the importance of engaging first-year students at freshers' fairs. The fairs are popular with first-years, with 63% of students reporting that they attended their freshers' fair. Nearly three-quarters (74%) of students also attended their university's careers fairs, with 62% stating that engaging with an employer at a careers fair would make it more likely they would apply for a role. This shows the importance of fairs as a promotional tool for employers as they seek students for placements and graduate roles. For careers services, fairs provide a platform to encourage students to engage with potential employers.
Digital channels are still important tools to engage students
Despite careers fairs being the preferred method of engagement for students with employers, digital platforms still play an important role. Half (50%) of the students surveyed said that receiving an email from their career services promoting roles would also make them apply to an employer, while 31% said that getting a personal message or seeing a post on social media (28%) would encourage them to apply. To emphasise the importance of a multi-channel approach to engagement, 20% of students said that seeing a video about a company on YouTube would increase the likelihood they would engage with an employer.
Most importantly, students are largely satisfied with their careers services
A clear majority of students surveyed were satisfied with their careers services – 65% of students were satisfied or very satisfied with careers fairs, 56% of students were satisfied or very satisfied with the employer fairs and 64% were satisfied or very satisfied with the availability of appointments. However, students were less satisfied with the scope of opportunities offered by their careers services in terms of part-time work and opportunities specific to their field of interest.
To conclude, students are engaging with the resources provided to them by their careers services. The combined approach of fairs and digital communications is successfully encouraging students to reach out and engage with employers. However, there is room for improvement, particularly in the scope of opportunities offered to students in terms of part-time work and for specific fields of interest.

Trendence UK
The Trendence UK Graduate Survey is now its 12th year. In early 2019, 74,748 students took part, making this the most comprehensive assessment of how satisfied students are with the support provided by careers services. To find out in even more detail what your students think of your careers service offer, what uniquely motivates your student population when it comes to careers (and how this differs from other UK undergraduates) and how you can increase the level of participation and engagement amongst your users.

There is a national shortage of nurses and doctors trained to conduct sexual assault forensic exams. NBC News mapped where they are provided in all 50 states and Washington, D.C. and how each structures its programs, using the best available data for each state. Providers are shown either by their location or what counties they cover. In some cases, multiple providers serve the same county. Read the full story: After a sexual assault, where can you get a medical and forensic exam?
After the story published, NBC News asked the International Association of Forensic Nurses, the organization with the largest listserv of providers, to put a call out for any missing programs. Forensic nurses around the country responded, and NBC News was able to add 93 additional programs to the more than 1,500-program database in Jan. 2021.
How NBC News did it
Reporters contacted every statewide coalition against sexual assault, state agencies, law enforcement offices, university training programs and dozens of program coordinators and individual examiners in an effort to understand the availability of sexual assault forensic exams around the country, first in December 2019, then in June 2020.
That availability varies widely state to state, as does the structure of training programs, laws and government oversight. Most states did not have regularly updated databases tracking where SANEs work and what facilities have programs. NBC News consulted advocates and administrators in states with minimal tracking on how best to map what is known about the state's resources. A summary of each state's services and any additional notes on how data was collected appears with each state.

The Cerean Mystics were an organization of Force-sensitive Cereans from Cerea that followed the Force's will. The Hierarch of Cerea, the leader of the planet, was also the leader of the organization, as the hierarch had to be Force-sensitive. The organization was formed in 6500 BTE, by the renowned Si'a Tiar, who, according to legend, single-handedly fought off the Jedi Order in their attempt to conquer the planet.
The Mystics' relationship with the Jedi Order has not improved much, but some Cereans are still admitted into the Jedi Order if they do not wish to join the Mystics. A makeshift alliance was formed between the Cereans and the Bahk-tov Council of Bardotta, in an attempt to create a rival faction to the Jedi, however the Jedi managed to defeat the two organizations in the War of the Six Orders—between the Jedi, Cerean Mystics, Bahk-tov Council, Ordu Aspectu, Frangawl Cult and the Indonai Imperium.

3 Basic Folkstyle Wrestling Moves
folkstyle wrestling moves in school
folkstyle wrestling moves in school
What are folkstyle wrestling moves? Folkstyle wrestling moves are also known as collegiate style wretling. They are any wrestling move that is legal or that is not illegal rather within the rules of folkstyle wrestling or collegiate wrestling. Many moves from Greco Roman and Freestyle wrestling are legal and carry over into folkstyle wrestling.
On my blog I recently posted some videos that demonstrate different folkstyle wrestling moves and drills. If you are interested in learning more wrestling skills then I suggest that you go to my blog and watch the videos. However, since this is an article and thus does not use video I will attempt to describe or explain what these moves are, how they are done and when you would use them.
The Granby Roll.
The Granby roll is a classic example of a folkstyle wrestling move. This skill is ONLY used in folkstyle wrestling and not in freestyle or Greco Roman Wrestling. This is a move that the wrestler will do from the bottom position.
You execute the Granby Roll by creating enough space between you and the top wrestler to move your hips out so that you are now at a T to your opponent. You are perpendicular to him rather. Then you want to catch his wrist and roll towards his head. As you roll you through your elbow in between his legs and catch the leg closest to you. When you come through you should, if done correctly, have your opponent on his back. You should be holding him there by locking his arm and leg around your body. Video explains this skill far better than I can with words, but I hope this helps.
Dive and Roll Single Leg Defence.
This move is not a high percentage move but from time to time, when a kid is really athletic or is a lot better than his opponent, this move works. This is a last resort way of getting out when your opponent has shot in and picked up your leg into the air. You are now hopping on one foot hoping not to get taken down. So, in desperation you turn away from the other wrestler, dive and roll. As you roll your leg kicks free. You then turn and face your opponent. Again, this is hard to explain if you have never seen the move. There is video of the move on my blog.
Head Lock.
The head lock is one of the most effective and most ineffective moves there is. It is a great way to score 5 points when you are losing or to get a much needed pin. It is important to do correctly and to know when to hit it otherwise a wrestler can get in trouble. You start by doing what is called a back step. It is a step you take to pop your hips through underneath your opponent so that you can then through him over the lower part of your back and onto his back. A great drill to practice this move is to have one wrestler pop his hips through and throw tehn hold the other person up. Then the other person pops his hips through and throws. You repeat this over and over.

A miser would be someone who hoards their money and refuses to spend it even on necessities. The word applies to Scrooge, in that he hoards the coal in the office needed to work because he doesn't want to spend more, refuses charity for the poor and destitute, and begrudges Cratchit wages for the holiday. Scrooge even conserved the wood he needed to keep a fire going in his own home. He had to sit very close to it, in order to receive any warmth.

Remote Training Site Warner Springs, CA
Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape [SERE] training is conducted at the US Navy's Remote Training Site in Warner Springs, CA. West Coast Navy/Marine Corps personnel who risk capture during wartime (e.g. aviators) undergo SERE training at the Remote Naval Training Facility in Warner Springs, CA.
The students gain the knowledge and confidence necessary to survive in a hostile environment until rescued. SERE instructions covers dealing with fatigue, fear, hunger, thirst, temperature, pain and boredom. The students are divided into elements, and spend days practicing map reading, navigation, fire building, water procurement and shelter building.
The students learn about survival techniques in an outdoor, hands-on environment. They learned different water procurement and purification techniques, constructed solar stills, and setup transpiration bags for water collection. They identified and ate edible plants. They also learned how to trap small game and field dress a rabbit for cooking and eating. They construct shelters with parachute material and camp out overnight in them. Students learn how to start fires using a variety of fire starting tools and techniques, and practice ground to air signalling using ground panels and Navy smoke flares.
Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape Camp is located in a remote area near the community of Warner Springs in the northeastern San Diego County at an elevation of about 3200 feet. The Camp consist of a headquarters area with an administrative building, several staff barracks building, a wastewater treatment plant, and a training compound.
SERE Camp is a hundred percent dependent upon two wells for its water supply: Main Well (Well No. 1) and backup well (Well No. 2). The camp has no water supply connections with any other water systems. Storage at the camp is provided by the following three water storage tanks: 5,000 gallons raw water storage tank, 1,000 gallon hydro-pneumatic tank, and a 42,000 gallon bolted steel water storage tank.

Pitahaya, known as "dragon fruit", is an exotic fruit with excellent nutritional properties; however, the species from the Peruvian coast have been little studied. The objective of the present study was to determine the physicochemical and nutritional composition of two species of pitahaya Hylocereus undatus (Haw.) Britt and Rose (red pitahaya) and Hylocereus megalanthus (yellow pitahaya), cultivated in the central coast of Peru. Proximal analysis, physicochemical and mineral contents were determined by standardized methods. From the results found, the fiber content of red pitahaya (4.30 ± 0.75 g.100 g-1) and vitamin C (14.74 ± 0.53 mg.100 g-1) stand out. The macroelement with the highest proportion corresponded to potassium (215.83 ± 11.72 and 98.41 ± 5.54 mg.100 g-1, for red and yellow pitahaya, respectively). This was followed by phosphorus (28.70 ± 0.28 and 17.99 ± 1.48 mg.100 g-1, for red and yellow pitahaya, respectively) and magnesium (29.88 ± 0.53 and 16.09 ± 2.80 mg.100 g-1, for red and yellow pitahaya, respectively). Regarding the content of microelements, the contents of manganese (5.48 ± 0.1 mg.kg-1) and zinc (5.39 ± 0.25 mg.kg-1) for red pitahaya stood out; and in the case of yellow pitahaya, the highest values corresponded to iron (21.07 ± 0.18 mg.kg-1) and manganese (7.49 ± 1.12 mg.kg-1). The study concluded that red and yellow pitahaya fruits represent an important source of fiber, minerals and vitamin C and they can be used for the benefit of human health and nutrition.

Labour market information tells you about the workplace or labour market. Labour market information describes the condition of the labour market, past and present, as well as future projections. It makes clear where work opportunities are increasing or decreasing, what occupations exist, what you need to study to become a professional in that occupation, what is required to take up an occupation, how one can find a job, change job or progress in a career.
And what about labour market intelligence? Labour market intelligence refers to labour market information that has been analysed and interpreted before presenting it to the public. Essentially most careers information is labour market intelligence. In this toolkit we use the notion of labour market information referring to both labour market information and labour market intelligence.
You can discover the definition of labour market information for lifelong guidance here:
DEFINITION OF LMI FOR LIFELONG GUIDANCE
The labour market information for lifelong guidance is defined as information about the following items:
- Labour market profile and trends including employment, unemployment and earnings outlooks by sector, occupation. Data should be available at a national, regional and local dimension where statistically reliable information and non-disclosive data are available. Basic principles of labour market regulation, laws and labour market policies.
- Trends in skills, including skills needs and mismatches, skills gaps, together with current and future skill demands. The regional and local dimension should be included if statistically reliable and non-disclosive information is available.
- Information on occupations including information on skills requirements, educational background, interests, working conditions, skills shortages, pay and earnings.
- Entry and progressions routes into and through occupations including job vacancies
- Entry and progression routes in education and training in order to gain skills for an occupation, or bridge a skills gap for a desired occupation.
- Career planning information on where to find information and assistance
- Equal opportunities and diversity issues (support measures), and changing workforce profile
What is good labour market information?
The quality standards for labour market information should be high because labour market information has many dimensions (as was shown in the definition) and is not easy to work with. You can find the quality criteria for labour market information for lifelong guidance here.
What is good labour market information for lifelong guidance?
High quality labour market information should have the following characteristics:
- Accuracy (eg statistically reliable)
- Completeness eg in terms of sectors, regions
- Timeliness: recent data, frequently updated
- Relevance to user needs and adapted needs of different user groups
- Attractive and available in different formats (i.e. pictures, infographics, tables, charts, graphs and videos)
- Accessibility: taking into account different capabilities and backgrounds, easy to understand text, access without registration, at low cost or free of charge as much as possible, plus available in electronic and hard copy
- Impartial: the information provided is in accordance with the user's interest only, is not influenced by provider, institutional and funding interests, and does not discriminate on the basis of gender, age, ethnicity, social class, qualifications, ability.
- Have authority
- Comparability of data over time, over different geographical levels
- Include local or regional information in order to show the possibilities in the region where one lives but at the same time in other regions (can encourages mobility)
- Transparent: sources of data are indicated
- Be easy to update
- Forward looking
Some specific points of attention are the following:
- Individuals users expect attractive labour market information. It is important that the labour market information is presented in a visually appealing way in websites, infographs, online tools, brochures, …Moreover, the LMI should be presented in different ways in order to meet different information needs and learning styles (and abilities) of clients. In addition to this, users like to try things out, to experiment, to do something, to have access to inspiring activities at employer's premises.
- In your work, it can be challenge to find a balance between providing neutral and objective career advice based on impartial labour market information and the aim and strategy of the organization you are working for.
- Example 1: career guidance and education by a sector federation is focussing on only one sector whereas opportunities usually exist in a number of sectors;
- Example 2: employment counsellors in public employment services may be forced to seek a balance between case load objectives and fast activation targets on one hand and individual preferences or untapped potential of jobseekers on the other hand.
- Example 3: there is a risk for biased or selective information in brochures promoting educational programmes
- Labour market information can be acquired formally and informally. Formal labour market information is spread over many different sources. There is a wealth of labour market information available online in websites, databases, apps, social media, video's, ….. More specific information on ICT and LMI can be found here
The complexity of labour market information requires good navigation skills. For many clients, it is necessary that career practitioners play a role as an interface between labour market information sources and the clients. Career practitioners adapt, interpret, repack labour market information and use it in to educate, inform, advice and guide clients. How can you do this?
