Can Dogs Eat Pork? Is Pork Bad For Dogs?
Can Dogs Eat Pork
It's Saturday afternoon, and the whole family got together for barbecue lunch in the backyard. The smell of roasted pork doesn't leave anyone indifferent, and you bet Charlie is already by the table, drooling on the ground.
As a pet parent, you know how hard it is sometimes to resist those quiet whines and big puppy eyes. So, you gave your dog a small bite of pork, and now you're wondering was it a good idea after all.
Can Dogs Eat Pork?
This is the question that many pet owners have asked themselves at least once or twice. Fortunately, we have thoroughly examined this topic to give you the best possible answer, so read on!
Can Dogs Eat Pork?
The short answer is – yes, they can. However, only when given in moderation and prepared in a certain way.
When fed as a part of a balanced and complete diet, pork can be a great addition as it is nutritious and a good source of protein
Therefore, let us take a look at the nutritional value of pork per 100 gr:
Energy242 calories
Total Fat6 gr
Cholesterol53 mg
Sodium1,203 mg
Potassium 287 mg
Total Carbohydrate1,5 gr
Protein21 gr
Vitamin B-620%
Iron 8%
Vitamin D8%
There are also some decent amounts of vitamin C, niacin, zinc, phosphorus, selenium, and vitamin B-12.
But as you can see, pork contains high amounts of fat and sodium, which are very difficult for dogs to digest. In fact, high amounts of fat can lead to serious health problems such as indigestion and inflammation of the pancreas, also called pancreatitis. Given this, consider feeding your dog with small amounts of pork and definitely not for every meal.
What About Ham, Bacon Or Gammon?
Preserved pork is very high in salt content, and this could be too much for the dog's stomach to handle, and can lead to pancreatitis. It can also contain smoke flavoring chemicals, preservatives, heterocyclic amines, nitrates, and similar, which can be harmful to humans, let alone pets.
But it can also cause another dangerous and potentially deadly condition called 'Bloat.' This condition appears when a dog's stomach fills up with food, fluid, or gas, making it expand. Dogs will become dehydrated due to the high amounts of salt found in processed meat (especially ham), and therefore drink an excessive amount of water. The pressure is then put on other organs, and this could be life-threatening.
Why Is Seasoned Pork Terrible For Dogs?
Generally, dogs can only eat plain pork, without additional add-ons, such as spice rubs and seasonings. Onion powder, nutmeg, and garlic powder are highly toxic and extremely dangerous if ingested.
BBQ sauce is also high in salt and sugar content and usually has additional seasonings. This is why you should think twice before sharing your barbeque meat with your dog. If your dog happens to eat some seasoned meat, keep an eye out for unusual symptoms.
If you notice the following contact your vet immediately:
 - Vomiting;
 - Lethargy;
 - Pale gums;
 - Nausea;
 - Diarrhea.
Dangers Of Raw Pork
You're maybe wondering now, can dogs eat raw pork. Technically – yes, they can. But that doesn't mean they should. The reason for this is because undercooked pork can contain parasite Trichinella spiralis, which can cause an infection called trichinellosis. These parasites live in the muscles of an animal (pig in this case) and can both affect humans and pets.
Typically, dogs with weaker immune system will have severe symptoms, but these are the common you should watch out for:
 - Vomiting;
 - Diarrhea;
 - Upset stomach;
 - Elevated fever;
 - Pain and stiffness;
 - Muscle inflammation;
 - Lethargy;
 - Cramps;
 - Inability to chew;
 - Seizures;
 - Heart failure;
 - Respiratory issues.
Contact your vet as quickly as possible if you notice any of the symptoms mentioned above. This doesn't mean you shouldn't feed your dog with raw pork as you do with any other meat; it just means that certain risks are involved.
However, you can freeze raw pork for a few weeks in case there are any parasites, as they can't survive chilly temperatures. If you're still not sure, but you want to include raw meat in your dog's diet, try buying it from reliable dog food sources as they usually test for parasites and keep out additives.
Nevertheless, pork is a great source of taurine and protein. Boneless rib meat, butt, shoulder, and loin are excellent choices when considering raw pork. Once again, opinions on raw pork meat are divided, but now with most of the countries free of trichinosis, we think it's pretty safe to let your pet enjoy meat in its natural state.
What About Pork Bones?
Your dog can eat pork bones, but we don't recommend this. Feeding dogs with bones is not always safe. Once cooked, bones dry out and become brittle and fragile and may splinter into sharp pieces. If swallowed, this could damage your dog's mouth, internal organs, or throat, and it is a potential choking hazard
Uncooked bones are a much safer choice, though they could fracture a thin enamel layer on your dog's teeth. Try buying your dog dental chews or high-quality edible dental bone instead.
Can Dogs Be Allergic To Pork?
Yes, any dog can be allergic to pork and any other meat for that matter. Some of the allergy symptoms are:
 - Chest tightness;
 - Skin rash or hives;
 - Watery, itchy or red eyes;
 - Coughing, shortness of breath, wheezing;
 - Facial pain;
 - Runny or stuffy nose;
 - Itchy or infected ears;
 - Swelling of the face, ears, earflaps, eyelids, lips;
 - Red inflamed skin;
 - Diarrhea;
 - Vomiting.
Are There Any Alternatives To Pork Meat?
Protein-rich treats that can easily replace pork meat are chicken, cheese, and peanut butter. Chicken is much easier to digest.
Does Pork Have Any Nutritional Value For Dogs?
The answer is again, yes.
Pork is an essential source of amino acids, and it is rich with thiamine, which is beneficial in cell function. Besides that, pork has proper amounts of vitamin B, iron, zinc, potassium, and other essential vitamins and minerals, as mentioned above.
Because of the high protein content, some potential benefits of feeding your dog pork meat may include:
 - Weight regulation;
 - Healthy coat and skin;
 - Muscle development;
 - Tissue repair;
 - Healthy cells, tissues, organs;
 - Strong bones;
 - More energy;
 - Easier production of antibodies;
 - Improves circulation, etc.
Here are some of the vitamin and mineral benefits found in pork meat:
Vitamin B– B vitamins have a crucial role in your dog's diet. Thiamine is responsible for regulating energy and metabolism and also activates ion channels in neural tissue. Niacin (B3), Cobalamin (B12), and Riboflavin (B2) help promote enzyme function.
– Moreover, vitamin B6 is crucial as it is directly responsible for hormone regulation, red blood cell, and nervous system function, immune response, gene activation, and many more. Overall, B vitamins promote healthy digestion, mental focus, prevent kidney stones, asthma, arthritis, and allergies.
Vitamin D– This vitamin is responsible for balancing minerals in a dog's body such as phosphorus and calcium. It is essential for strong and healthy bones and muscles.
Magnesium– Magnesium is a crucial mineral in a dog's diet. It controls hormone and metabolic functions, and proper nervous system transmissions. Very important for cardiovascular health.
Potassium– Potassium is essential for the heart and nervous system function. It has a role in regulating muscle contractions, fluids, and in sending nerve signals.
Iron– An essential mineral that has a vital role in physiological processes. It is directly involved in red blood cell formation and hemoglobin, which is responsible for carrying nutrients and oxygen throughout the body.
So, there you have, all of the good stuff that pork can provide to your pet.
How To Prepare Pork For Your Dog?
As for quantity, feed your dog a small amount for the first time. If there are no adverse reactions to it like allergies or similar, you can continue feeding your pet with pork meat.
When it comes to preparation, there are a few guidelines to follow. First off, remove as much fat as you can from the meat. For safety concerns of parasites, cook it. Don't use salt or any other seasonings as these could be lethal to your dog. Don't throw down a pork chop in front of your dog, but instead cut the pork into bite-sized pieces for easier chewing. Also, make sure to cut the meat off the bone, as bones can cause your dog to choke and damage the internal organs if swallowed.
Don't include preserved pork such as ham, bacon or gammon as those contain seasonings and a high amount of sodium that can cause pancreatitis and other health problems.
In the end, pork is very good for your dog, but when given in moderation and small portions.

Torunn Atteraas Garin, a chemical engineer who worked on notable food projects, died last Friday at her home in Bronxville, N.Y. She was 54 and also had a home on Tortola, in the British Virgin Islands.
She cause was lung cancer, her family said.
Working for General Foods from 1971 to 1985, Mrs. Garin helped develop the sweetener aspartame as a sugar substitute and was a national spokeswoman for the product.
Early in her career, she worked on minimizing water pollution resulting from food production, substituting natural dyes for cancer-causing chemicals and developing a process to extract caffeine from coffee, for which she was awarded two patents.
A native of Bergen, Norway, she studied at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology and received a degree in chemical engineering from Columbia in 1971. She received a master's in environmental engineering at what is now Polytechnic University in Brooklyn in 1977.
Mrs. Garin is survived by her husband, Michael N.; their three sons, Kristoffer A. of Manhattan, and Aleksander A. and Nickolas A. of Bronxville; and her sister, Lillian Daviknes of Hvalstad, Norway.Continue reading the main story

Tornadoes in May, 2000
The Tornado History Project generates approximate paths through separate historical archives provided by the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) and the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC). Paths generated from the NCDC data are typically more detailed, but neither archive gives exact path information. There are several reasons that paths may be inaccurate:
- Tornado touchdown and liftoff coordinates were recorded with only 2 digits of decimal precision (i.e. [33.72, -86.15] vs [33.71689, -86.15463]). As a consequence, the observed points on the map may be slightly off from actual. Note that beginning in 2009, up to 4 digits of decimal precision are given.
- Coordinates have not historically been calculated via GPS (Global Positioning System). Thus, tornado touchdown and liftoff coordinates should be considered as estimates only.
- Tornadoes may not have been in contact with the ground for the entire path as depicted on the map. Storm damage in any location depicted under the "path" should not be inferred.
- Although paths are drawn as straight lines between any two sets of coordinates, the tornado may have "zigzagged" in some way.
- Although paths are drawn as uniform thin lines on the map, it is likely that the tornado changed size over its lifetime. Damage in any location depicted under (or not under) the "path" should not be inferred.
Even with the above in mind, the data is the best available. If you see a path that is depicted incorrectly, please post a comment in the tornado forum indicating why you belive the path to be incorrect.
Paths generated from NCDC data are typically more detailed due to the way coordinates are listed in each archive:
- SPC database - A maximum of 2 coordinates (touchdown and liftoff) is given for each tornado, or each state segment of a tornado if it is a multi-state tornado. Thus the vast majority of paths are depicted as simple straight lines.
- NCDC database - Some tornadoes have mutliple sets of coordinates within any state, generally corresponding to entry and exit points by county. Thus, since more coordinates have been used to draw the path, the depicted path should be more accurate. Having said that, most tornadoes do not have additional path data in the NCDC archive. When they do, paths are drawn from the NCDC data.
The following statistics and definitions are derived from the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) historical tornado archive. The Tornado History Project can
not guarantee the accuracy of the underlying data within the SPC historical tornado archive. However, the data as presented here is guaranteed to
match the SPC data, except where noted.
Some definitions will not be given since they are obvious (i.e. "Date", "Time", etc...)
Special Note: This site uses a unique index number to identify each tornado. This index number is not a part of the official historical tornado archive.
E (Error) (tornado search table only) - A yellow box indicates that the tornado record contains a suspected error. A red box indicates that the tornado record contains an error and has been modified from the official source. Hover over the box for the error text.
Map/Forum (tornado search table only) - Clickable icons for further content related to a tornado.
State - The state or states affected by a tornado.
Fujita - The Fujita scale is an attempt to classify damage from a tornado. F0 being the least damaging, F5 the most. For 2007 and beyond, the Enhanced Fujita (EF) is given.
Fat. - The number of fatalities attributed to the tornado.
Inj. - The number of injuries attributed to the tornado.
Width - Width in yards. It is unclear if this indicates a maximum width or mean width.
Length - Length of tornado path in miles. Note the entire track length is not necessarily all on the ground (some tornadoes "hop and skip".)
Damage - Prior to 1996, this is a range by dollar amount. For 1996 and later, actual damage estimates are in millions.
Crop Loss - Added in 2007. Given in millions of dollars.
Lat/Lon - Contains two sets of coordinates:
- Touchdown Latitude/Longitude - For single state tornadoes, and the overall record for multi-state tornadoes, the approximate touchdown location in
decimal degrees. For the state specific records of multi-state tornadoes, entry point into the state in decimal degrees.
- Liftoff Latitude/Longitude - For single state tornadoes, and the overall record for multi-state tornadoes, the approximate liftoff location in
decimal degrees. For the state specific records of multi-state tornadoes, the exit or lift-off point from the state in decimal degrees.
St. #. - The state tornado number assigned to the tornado for that specific state for that specific year. Generally, state tornado
numbers were assigned in the order the tornado occurred, but that is not always the case.
SPC # - The tornado number as assigned by the SPC. Tornado numbers are not unique and reset each year. Generally, tornado numbers were assigned in the order the tornado occurred, but that is not always the case.

Are you confused about when to use "taking" or "taken" in your sentences? It's a common dilemma for many English learners, but with a little knowledge, you can avoid making mistakes and sound more professional in your writing.
Let's start with the basics. "Taking" is the present participle of the verb "take," which means to hold, grasp, or receive something. On the other hand, "taken" is the past participle of "take," which means something that has been received, captured, or brought under control.
Here are some examples to help you distinguish between "taking" and "taken."
1. I am taking a shower
2. She has taken a shower
In the first example, "taking" is used because the action is ongoing, and the subject is currently in the process of taking a shower. In contrast, the second sentence uses "taken" because the subject has already completed the action of taking a shower.
Now, let's explore some other situations where "taking" or "taken" may be used.
When to use "taking"?
1. To express an ongoing activity:
"I am taking a class on literature."
2. To describe someone's behavior:
"He is taking his boss's advice."
3. To refer to medications or drugs being consumed:
"She is taking aspirin for her headache."
4. To indicate transportation:
"I am taking a taxi to the airport."
5. To define involvement or responsibility:
"I am taking responsibility for the project."
When to use "taken"?
1. To refer to the past:
"She has taken dance lessons since she was five."
2. To describe an action that has been completed:
"He has taken care of the paperwork."
3. To indicate a state of possession:
"They have taken ownership of the property."
4. To show that permission has been granted:
"I have taken permission from my boss to take a day off."
5. To show control over something:
"The police have taken the suspect into custody."
So, what are some tips that can help you use "taking" or "taken" correctly in your sentences? Here are a few suggestions:
1. Pay attention to the tense: If you're talking about something that is happening currently, use "taking." If you're discussing something that has already happened, use "taken."
2. Think about the context: Consider the situation or the event being described and choose the appropriate form of the verb.
3. Use an online grammar checker: There are several online tools available that can help you check your grammar and ensure that you're using the right form of the verb.
4. Read widely: To improve your grammar and sentence structure, read widely and pay attention to how other writers use "taking" or "taken."
Using "taking" and "taken" correctly may seem like a small detail, but it can make a big difference in how your writing is perceived. By following the guidelines presented here, you can avoid making mistakes and present yourself as a knowledgeable and competent writer. Happy writing!


Cryptic clue: Horse-drawn vehicle industry
Answer: Diligence
How do we figure this one out?
Wiktionary says:
diligence (plural diligences)
 1. conscientiousness or determination or perseverance when doing something
 2. (religion) One of the seven contrary virtues, opposite the vice of sloth.
 3. A public stage-coach. (19th century, now used only in reference to France or other European countries including Great Britain.)
industry (in the sense of "busily working") would match definition 1, and definition 3 is a horse-drawn vehicle, if an obscure one. I had no idea!
 - wow. i didnt find this where i usually look. _URL_. Good one. I expected it to be something on "vehicle industry", and not "h-d vehicle; industry" as two clues. – JoseK Dec 24 '10 at 14:11
 - 1
 _USER_: you'd find it if you searched for "diligence"! – Jimi Oke Dec 24 '10 at 16:26
 - _USER_: but i did that too. _URL_ – JoseK Dec 25 '10 at 5:39
 - 1
 _USER_: if you look at definition #2, it says "a large stage-coach", which is basically a horse-drawn carriage. – Jimi Oke Dec 25 '10 at 9:41
Here's the etymology of the third meaning given at the Wiktionary.
From the secondary French sense comes the old usage of diligence for "public stage coach" (1742; dilly for short), from a French shortening of carrosse de diligence.
O.Fr. diligence means "attention, care; haste, speed," so carrosse de diligence means "speedy coach."
The Encylopaedia Britannica expands on how the diligence differs from the american stagecoach.
 - It amuses me that in 100 years we'll be similarly mystified by such words as cassette (what does that have to do with music?) and perchance newspaper (news was printed on paper??) – ghoppe Nov 4 '11 at 18:24

The design of optimal immigration policy, particularly in the face of the spiralling demand for highly skilled workers, such as IT workers and engineers, is a topical issue in the policy debate as well as the economic literature. In this paper, we present empirical evidence from firm level data collected in 2000 on the demand in Europe for highly skilled workers in general and abroad and their determinants. Major findings are that the fraction of highly skilled recruited from the international labour market is very small, and it seems that foreign and domestic workers are very similar in terms of formal education, that is subject of specialisation, and job characteristics. We suggest an efficiency wage model that can explain why firms recruit foreign workers in small numbers and are willing to pay migrants the same wage as local workers and at the same time are willing to pay for moving costs, for example, that are specific to immigrating workers.

Statistics How To
Shape Parameter: Definition and Examples
Statistics Definitions > Shape Parameter
What is a Shape Parameter?
A shape parameter, as the name suggests, affects the general shape of a distribution; they are a family of distributions with different shapes. The parameters are usually known from prior statistical data or they are sometimes estimated from current data.
shape parameter
The Beta Distribution pdf, showing several different shapes with parameters α and β .
For example, the Beta distribution has a shape parameter. Changing this parameter changes the overall shape of the graph.
The exponential distribution
The exponential distribution does not have a shape parameter, so the general shape remains the same. Image credit: Skbkekas|Wikimedia Commons
In contrast, several other distributions do not have these parameters. They include the exponential distribution. Even though the exponential distribution can be squeezed, stretched, or shifted, the overall shape remains the same.
The most important thing to grasp about the shape parameter is that it doesn't change where the graph lies on the horizontal axis (that's the job of the location parameter). Nor does it shrink or squeeze the graph (the job of the scale parameter). It just defines the general shape of the graph for certain distributions.
In some distributions (like the Weibull distribution), the parameter can help define skewness. For example:
This is not a universal rule though, just a general guideline.
Other Parameters that Affect Shapes of Distributions
Some of the other parameters used to define distributions:
 - The Location parameter tells you where the distribution is centered on the horizontal axis.
 - The Scale parameter gives you an idea of the scale on the horizontal axis. For example, the scale parameter on a standard normal distribution is equal to one standard deviation (σ). It usually stretches or squeezes a graph.

View Source Nebulex.Caching.SimpleKeyGenerator (Nebulex v2.5.1)
Default key generator implementation.
It implementats a simple algorithm:
 - If no params are given, return 0.
 - If only one param is given, return that param as key.
 - If more than one param is given, return a key computed from the hashes of all parameters (:erlang.phash2(args)).
Based on the default key generation in Spring Cache Abstraction.
This implementation aims to cover those simple/generic scenarios where the key generated based on the arguments only, fulfill the needs. For example:
defmodule MyApp.Users do
 use Nebulex.Caching
 alias MayApp.Cache
 @decorate cacheable(cache: Cache)
 def get_user(id) do
 # logic for retrieving a user...
 end
 @decorate cache_evict(cache: Cache)
 def delete_user(id) do
 # logic for deleting a user...
 end
end
The key generator will generate the same key for both, cacheable and evict functions; since it is generated based on the arguments only.

Studies for Christ Carrying the Cross
c. 1571
Pen and gray-brown ink and wash
Samuel Courtauld Trust: Princes Gate Bequest, 1978
Many of Veronese's drawings are in pen and ink and were made to assist the artist in developing his compositions. This example is related to a painting of Christ carrying the Cross and records two ideas for the central scene of Christ and his tormentors. Figures and compositions almost merge into one another, conveying a sense of the excitement and speed with which the artist worked.

The harm of Crane Hoist Brake reverse brake
Electric hoist is generally installed in gantry cranes, single girder cranes, overhead cranes, suspended cranes. A little modification, can also be used as a hoist. So, it is to improve labor efficiency, improve the working conditions of the necessary tools, electric hoist reverse brake what harm it, the following is given the introduction:
1, if the high-speed operation of a motor to the opposite direction, it will cause a strong impact, burn the motor.
2, the brakes will also cause a strong friction between the gear impact, causing equipment accidents.
3, if the electric hoist hanging on the crane, due to the weight of the crane, if suddenly give it a reverse force, electric hoist because of strong inertia and produce a lot of torque, will cause the transmission system, and the fuselage damage The
4, lifting the weight will swing, the occurrence of falling accidents.

Using BIN/CUE Files
Post by NiKEUS »
How to use bin/cue files:
What are they
Bin files are image files of the CDs you are trying to get. They are created from various programs. Cue files are basically something that tells burning software like Nero where and how to burn these files. They aren't always needed but they do make things easier.
Note: You do not need to burn bin files to use them. READ ON for more information
How to burn them
The following steps are written by dead frog
Here's what you do (using Nero, using "Frogland" as example).
-DownloadCDmage _URL_
and check the bin for errors first. If it finds some it will attempt to correct, but the chance of burning a copy with errors is now higher.
-Open the .cue with notepad and make sure the filename on line 1 matches the filename you're trying to burn. If you want to reduce the chance of 'line 1' errors, change the filename (and the one in the cue) to something like frogland.bin, instead of one with redundant info like frogland.ripped.by.frogga.sharereactor.(FTC).share_or_be_disconnected.bin
 - - Do the filenames match now?
 - Are you sure?
 - Put cue and bin in the same directory
 - Start Nero, select "Burn Image" from the 'file' menu (or Recorder, Burn Image in newer versions of Nero)
 - Find the directory with the cue (and bin) in it.
 - Click on da cue
 - Change your burning options (simulation, etc) and click write
 - It burns. You're done!
A quick way to do bin/cue files is to skip to step 5. If it doesn't work then it means that the cue file is incorrect or you don't have the bin file in the same folder as the cue file.
From this point you can just fix the cue file by opening it notepad(read furthur down) or you can try burning the bin file in Nero with the same "burn image" command. Select the bin file and burn it as "data mode 2". I like using the cue file so I don't use the second option all too much.
If you only have the .bin and are missing the .cue
Try MakeCue _URL_
it'll allow you to create a .cue for the type of .bin file you're dealing with.

No CD burner? Lack of disks? Want to test before burning? Too lazy to burn that disk? Daemon tools may have the answer.
Mounting an image:
Right-click on the Daemon-Tools trayicon
Select Virtual CD/DVD-ROM
Select Device [?:]
Click Mount
Browse and select the image you wish to mount
Click OK or double-click on the file to mount
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unmounting an image:
Right-click on the Daemon-Tools trayicon
Select Virtual CD/DVD-ROM
Select Device [?:]
Click Unmount
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Enabling Protection Emulations:
Right-click on the Daemon-Tools trayicon
Select Emulation
Click on the desired emulation to enable
Note: You can find more information about CD Protections by clicking here
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fast Dump:
Daemon-Tools' "fastdump" feature is used to speed up the image creation of Safedisc 1 & 2 protected CDs and is also the first step to create a backup of a Safedisc 2 protected CD.
Enable safedisc emulation
Install the game you want to backup
Start the game, and wait until the safedisc check is over (you usually see a splash screen while it is safedisc checking)
Exit the program and do NOT remove the CD
Run your burning program (a list of suitable burning programs can be found here)
Start image creation or copying
You might see a list of errors for up to 20 seconds, which is normal
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Command Line Switces
-lock
used to lock the DLL operation to be sure no unauthorized program can load daemon.dll and use its functions. Used mainly in autostart (if 'Autolock' option is enabled), but can be used in command line too. Unlocking can be done from Virtual DAEMON manager or other GUI that is currently running. Note that locking has no effect on DAEMON Manager itself or other programs which have been 'authorized' by us to use the DLL.
-noicon
this option is used to prevent Daemon-Tools from creating a taskbar icon. It has no effect if DAEMON manager is already running or you specified another command (except 'lock') in the command line! DAEMON manager automatically exits after command is executed and does not create taskbar icon.
-mount
allows mounting images from command line (or shortcut).
Syntax is: -mount <n>,<path>
where 'n' means DVD-ROM device number ('0' - '3' allowed) and 'path' is the full path to the image file.
Example: daemon.exe -mount 0,"c:\My Images\nameofimage.cue".
Do not forget to set the path in quotes if it contains spaces!
-unmount
allows unmounting images from command line.
Syntax is: -unmount <n>
where 'n' means DVD-ROM device number ('0' - '3' allowed)
-safedisc ?
allows turning Safedisc emulation on/off from command line.
'-safedisc on' enables emulation, '-safedisc off' disables it
-securom ?
allows turning Securom emulation on/off from command line.
'-securom on' enables emulation, '-securom off' disables it
-laserlok ?
allows turning Laserlock emulation on/off from command line.
'-laserlok on' enables emulation, '-laserlok off' disables it.
-rmps ?
allows turning RMPS emulation on/off from command line.
'-rmps on' enables emulation, '-rmps off' disables it.

How do visually impaired swimmers know where their opponents are?
Paralympic champion Brad Snyder and tapper Brian Loeffler explain their tricks in the pool. 28 Apr 2017
Tapper taps a visually impaired swimmer on the head
Tappers let visually impaired swimmers know when they are approaching the end of the pool. Once the swimmers recieve the tap, they know when to turn.
"The most interesting dynamic to me is that after the race, we don't find out the outcome for quite a while because we can't see the scoreboard"
With raging adrenaline and muscles propelling their bodies at high speeds toward a wall, visually impaired swimmers need to know – exactly – when to turn.
Otherwise, they would collide with the wall.
This is where the swimmer's tapper comes into play.
A tapper is a person who lets the swimmer know when they are approaching the end of the pool by "tapping" them either once or twice.
Timing, the swimmer's preference and repetition, repetition, repetition, are all important, as five-time US Paralympic champion Brad Snyder and his tapper Brian Loeffler explain the tricks and techniques to visually impaired swimming:
1. How do you manage to swim in a straight line?
Brad Snyder: Practice, practice, and more practice … and even then, I still veer off course. That being said, the ways I attempt to stay straight are by always training with symmetry in mind, both in and out of the water.
I try to train so that my body is strong on both sides, and that I am employing both sides equally. Even still, I still notice differences in strength from one side to the other. So I note these differences and compete with that awareness.
I have modified my arm recovery, dragging my fingers along the surface of the water so that if I veer off course toward the lane line, I will hopefully detect the lane line with my fingers, allowing me to correct course before I crash and lose precious time.
2. How do you know (if even) where your opponents are?
BS: I don't! That's the magic of blind swimming. We are not really racing each other so much as we're racing ourselves.
3. How do you know if you are first, second, third, etc.? Or does that matter?
BS: I don't! I often imagine that I am behind so that it's easier to dig down deep towards the end of a race!
4. When a tapper taps your head, what does that tell you? How do you know when to turn for another lap?
BS: The tapper taps my back, not my head. When I get the tap, I immediately turn. We feel as though this eliminates any potential errors in stroke counting or whatever else. I try to simplify things as much as possible, so our strategy is 'tap, then turn!' Nothing else!
5. Have you been a "tapper" before you worked with Brad? What are some differences among athletes and their tapping preferences?
Brian Loeffler: Before I coached Philip Schultz who was a 2008 Paralympian. … That's where I had my first experience and really learned how to tap.
There are other nuisances with tapping. There's no official [tapping device].* It's not a standard piece of equipment. It's a really homemade device. Some people use long fishing poles. Brad would tend to use a cane that we could fold up to transport easily and it usually had a tennis ball at the end.
What also varies for each person is that some people like to be struck on the head. And some people like to be struck on the back. Brad likes the back. Philip likes the head.
6. What is key between a tapper and the swimmer?
BS: Consistency. It helps the tapper to know my race strategy and what pace I will be coming into the wall. It helps me if the tapper taps at the same point every time. When we get on the same page, the turn should look exactly like an able-bodied swimmer's turn. You shouldn't even be able to tell that I'm blind.
BL: I think it's really important to have a tapper you trust because you're swimming at a fast rate into the wall and you have to know that the tapper is going to tap you, and at a point where you're not too far away or close to the wall.
Some other folks like a long tapping device like 14 feet long. So they get to tap further out and take a couple of strokes before they flip in. Brad's preference is to be closer so that it's more immediate and he knows when to flip.
7. What else is important for a tapper on the pool deck?
BL: You have to just focus on your swimmer. Don't get distracted with what's going on in the race, where they are in the race or where their competitors are. Don't look at the stands. Your sole job is to focus on them and gauge their speed. It's very much like a relay takeoff. You have to anticipate how fast they're moving, and when the point is when they want to receive the tap.
I think some other things tappers might be afraid of when they're starting out is being too timid. … They need to be struck fairly hard. They would rather be struck hard and feel the tap rather than question oh was that a tap? Or was that a bump on the lane line?
Tappers also can't communicate with the swimmers. No words of encouragement or strategy.
8. What other facts should we know about how visually impaired swimmers swim?
BS: The most interesting dynamic to me is that after the race, we don't find out the outcome for quite a while because we can't see the scoreboard. It's excruciating to sit in the pool, listening to everyone cheer, hoping it's for you, but not being sure.
(*) While there are no set length regulations in the current rulebook, all tapping devices must be deemed safe by the Technical Officials at all international World Para Swimming competitions (rule

Rivelin Dam, Peak District National Park
Rivelin Lower Dam is used to supply water to the nearby treatment works. The upstream face is protected with stone pitching which has weathered over the years and more recently suffered from some vandalism. A long-term solution was required to strengthen the upstream face and which was acceptable to the Peak Park Planning Authority.
Yorkshire Water proposed Open Stone Asphalt or repairs to the stone pitching. Although there were initially concerns over the visual impact of OSA, we proposed to surface-dress the layer of OSA with a gravel which helped the revetment blend in with the natural stone wave wall.
Other Safety & Environmental benefits of OSA over pitching repairs included a quicker installation time, longer life-expectancy, and majority machine-work rather than hand-work.
Lean Sand Asphalt was used to fill voids in the pitching before a layer of 150mm OSA was placed over the upstream face.
- 1,500 m2 of upstream face protected.
- Lean Sand Asphalt placed to fill voids between stone pitching
- Minimum of 150mm Open Stone Asphalt placed over upstream face.
- Crest trench for OSA used to provide additional stability due to steep slopes up to 1 in 1.5
- Non-limestone aggregate used due to acidic water
- Gravel surface dressing applied to OSA surface to reduce visual impact of work.

Council reviewed the current village snow removal policy during their regular council meeting on Mon. Nov. 26.
They were asked to add what should be considered high priority areas or roadways public works should focus on first.
The policy establishes a consistent, cost-effective standard of practice for clearing roads of snow and ice for safe travel within the village.
The Statement explains that the village is expected to clear designated roads as quickly as possible after a large snowfall or because of snow that has drifted in that may cause traffic issues.
The Fire Hall and Maintenance Shop along with Mainstreet, 51st Avenue, 47th Avenue and Railway Avenue remain first priority.
The local outdoor rink, back alleys, residential roads including school access is ranked as a second priority.
Although the rink is a secondary priority, administration felt their time could be better spent by having the public volunteer to remove snow if they desire.
If it remains a priority, the village will have to pay men overtime during the weekends to remove the snow even if not as many children are using it.
Currently, the rink is typically done on the third day after a significant storm.
There was talk amongst council to contract work out to avoid overtime wages but when they looked at the math, it was far too expensive.
Instead, residents will have permission to shovel or snow blow the area themselves.
Another item was the walking trails which are regularly used by children travelling to school.
This will no longer be an issue as public works now have their new tractor with special attachments to whisk away snow from pathways.
The sidewalks were added as a second priority.
Clive Public Library Budget approved
Council approved the Clive Public Library 2019 Operating Budget.
Although the library does run on a $30,000 deficit each year, this year will be different as $27,000 in surplus will foot the bill.
"I like the workshops that are going fast," said Coun. Susan Russell.
The projected capital expenditures include exciting new renovations to the building like an awning, snow removal, heat tape, furniture and equipment for approximately $27,000.
Council moved the 2019 budget as presented.

Improvements of Valve Stem Seals to Meet Future Emission Requirements 980581
Due to the current and future emission regulations, nearly every new internal combustion engine has to be equipped with valve stem seals.
The optimal seal is designed to meet the increasingly severe emission regulations by constantly metering the oil flow to allow adequate lubrication of the valve stem/ guide while at the same time minimizing oil flow to the combustion chamber and hence minimizing emissions. The seal has to compensate for manufacturing tolerances of the cylinder head and to provide stability of the oil metering rate for all different running conditions over the life of the engine.
To increase the constancy of the oil flow metered by the seals, a new stepped lip design was developed using finite element analysis.

OLD UNION, TX (LIMESTONE COUNTY)
OLD UNION, TEXAS (Limestone County). Old Union is just south of Farm Road 3371 and twelve miles southeast of Groesbeck in southeastern Limestone County. It was named for an early interdenominational church. Its population was estimated at 100 in the mid-1930s. A church, a sawmill, two other businesses, and several scattered houses marked the site in the late 1940s, by which time the number of residents had risen to 150. In the 1980s and early 1990s the community's population was reported at twenty-five, and only the church and cemetery were shown on maps of the area.

Using the ArcToolbox window
In any ArcGIS Desktop application, you open the ArcToolbox window with the Show/Hide ArcToolbox Window button found on the standard toolbar or by clicking Geoprocessing > ArcToolbox.
Key features of the ArcToolbox window
You can customize the contents by adding and removing toolboxes
To add any toolbox to the ArcToolbox window, right-click the ArcToolbox entry and click Add Toolbox as illustrated below. Browse to the location containing the toolbox you want to add and select the toolbox.
To remove a toolbox, right-click the toolbox and click Remove. The toolbox will be removed from the window contents but will not be deleted from disk.
The contents of the ArcToolbox window are saved with your document
This is perhaps the most useful feature of the ArcToolbox window. You can customize the contents of the window to contain just those toolboxes you need for your current project. When you save your ArcMap, ArcGlobe, or ArcScene document, the contents of the ArcToolbox window are saved. The next time you open the document, the window will be the same as when you saved the document. See below for more information about saving and loading the contents.
ArcToolbox window displays the toolbox label, not its name
The Catalog window displays the toolbox name. The ArcToolbox window displays the toolbox label. This may take you by surprise if you add a toolbox whose name is different than its label.
The ArcToolbox window contains shortcuts to toolboxes
The toolboxes you see in the ArcToolbox window are references to a toolbox. They are analogous to shortcuts in Windows Explorer or layers within ArcMap. This means that if you remove a toolbox from the window, you're simply removing it from the list and not truly deleting it on disk. However, if you delete one of its tools, the tool is deleted from the toolbox on disk. In this way, toolboxes in the window behave like feature layers in ArcMap—if you remove a feature layer in the ArcMap table of contents, the dataset it refers to is not deleted. However, if you start editing the contents of the layer and delete a feature, the feature is deleted from the dataset on disk. It's the same way with toolboxes in the window—if you delete one of its members (a toolset or tool), it is permanently deleted from the toolbox.
The ArcToolbox shortcut menu
You can add any custom or system toolbox by browsing and selecting the toolbox.
If you want to create a new empty toolbox, click Add Toolbox and browse to the location where you want to create the toolbox. In the Add Toolbox window, click the new toolbox button, as illustrated below.
This opens the geoprocessing Environment Settings window.
Hide Locked Tools
When checked, only those tools for which you have a license will appear in the window. Only tool product level licenses (ArcView, ArcEditor, and ArcInfo) are examined—individual extension licenses are not examined.
Save Settings and Load Settings
Geoprocessing settings are the list of toolboxes found in the ArcToolbox window. You can save these settings for later loading.
Save Settings > To File will save the list of toolboxes and environment settings to an.xml file. You can load these settings by clicking Load Settings > From File and browsing to a saved.xml file.
You can also save settings as the default settings so that the next time you create a new document, the ArcToolbox window will read the default settings. To save your settings to the default settings, click Save Settings > To Default. You can also load the default settings using Load Settings > From Default.
Geoprocessing settings do not include a toolbox's toolsets and tools. Toolbox content is read when you start an application and open the ArcToolbox window.
The contents of the ArcToolbox window in ArcCatalog are the default settings. If you change the contents of the ArcToolbox window in ArcCatalog, the default settings will be overwritten when you exit ArcCatalog.
Toolbox contents in multiple applications
If you have only one application open on your computer, the contents of the Catalog and ArcToolbox windows are kept synchronized; if you remove a tool from a toolbox in the ArcToolbox widow, the Catalog window is immediately updated, showing that the tool was removed. Likewise, if you delete a tool from a toolbox in the catalog tree, the ArcToolbox window is immediately updated.
However, If you have multiple application sessions open, such as an ArcCatalog and an ArcMap session, the contents of a toolbox are not synchronized between the two application sessions. For example, if you delete a tool in one application session, it will still be present in the other application and can still be executed. This occurs because all applications, when they are started, read the contents of all toolboxes and store the contents in memory. As you delete, remove, or add tools, these changes are made in memory and are not written to disk until you exit the application session. This means that you can always use a tool that was present when the session began, even if another application removed it.
The general rule is that if you are altering toolbox content, alter it in one application, then exit and restart other applications to see the changes.

Tab Panel
The TabPanel UI component consists of Tabs and MultiView components. The TabPanel automatically synchronizes the selected tab with the currently displayed view and vice versa.
Generate Similar Tabs Based on a Data Source
To generate similar tabs and views, bind the TabPanel to data. Use the items[] or dataSource property to do this. Both these properties can work with local arrays, but dataSource also accepts a DataSource object. You can use this object if you need to process the local array or fetch the array from a remote data source. In this demo, the dataSource property is set to a local array.
Each object in the items[] or dataSource array can contain predefined fields, such as title or icon (see the items[] section for the full list). The TabPanel automatically recognizes these fields and creates the default tab and view appearance based on them. However, if your data objects contain custom fields, you need to specify the itemTitleTemplate and itemTemplate that define how to display the fields in tabs and views. This demo illustrates the latter use case.
Create Individual Tabs
If you want each tab and view to have differently structured content, define individual templates. To do this, assign an array of objects to the items[] or dataSource property and specify the tabTemplate and template properties in each object. This use case is illustrated in the following tutorial: Getting Started with TabPanel.
Switch Between Tabs
To switch between tabs programmatically, use the selectedIndex property. It accepts the index of a tab in the dataSource or items[] array. The onSelectionChanged function allows you to perform the desired actions when the selected tab changes.
Use the following properties to configure user navigation between tabs:
 - swipeEnabled
 Defines whether to switch between views with a swipe gesture.
 - loop
 Specifies whether to loop views.
 - animationEnabled
 Specifies whether to animate transition between views.
You can switch the checkboxes below the TabPanel to change the loop, animationEnabled, and swipeEnabled property values.

bsvFn
a function to be applied to each subset that returns a list of between subset variables (BSVs)
output
a "kvConnection" object indicating where the output data should reside (see localDiskConn, hdfsConn). If NULL (default), output will be an in-memory "ddo" object.
overwrite
logical; should existing output location be overwritten? (also can specify overwrite = "backup" to move the existing output to _bak)

Details
The division methods this function will support include conditioning variable division for factors (implemented – see condDiv), conditioning variable division for numerical variables through shingles, random replicate (implemented – see rrDiv), and near-exact replicate. If by is a vector of variable names, the data will be divided by these variables. Alternatively, this can be specified by e.g. condDiv(c("var1", "var2")).
Value
an object of class "ddf" if the resulting subsets are data frames. Otherwise, an object of class "ddo".

Question: If the work required to stretch a spring 1 ft beyond its natural length is 9 ft-lb, how much work W is needed to stretch it 10 in. beyond its natural length?
So my teacher today gave us some physics equations and said to do this homework. Im a little stuck on this, usually they give us the force required to stretch a spring, not the work. Here is what i tried:
Then I did F=KX (hooke's law) to solve for the k constant of the spring
9 = K * 1 ft
K = 9
So I now know that F = 9X (equation for force of a spring when you know the k constant of that spring)
And then i said the:
INTEGRAL of: 9x from 0-10/12 = Total work needed to stretch the spring 10inches.
I get 7.25, but this answer is wrong.

The time unit is ms and the interval is for a fade from 0-100%. If the current value is 25% and the new value is 75% the time needed for this change is half of fadetime. fadetimeis used for absolute values or ON/OFF commands send to the brightness channel. Related is the dimtime option: it defines the time in ms from 0-100% if incremental dimming (INCREASE/DECREASE) is used. For convenient use dimtime usually is set to a larger value than fadetime. Typical values are _PHONE_ ms for fadetime and 2000-5000 ms for dimtime.
Advanced options are the turnonvalueand the turnoffvalue. They default to 255 (equals 100%) and 0 (equals 0%) respectively. This value can be set individually for all DMX channels, the format is value1,value2, ... with values from 0 to 255. If less values than DMX channels are defined, the values will be re-used from the beginning (i.e. if two values are defined, value1 will be used for channel1, channel3, … and value2 will be used for channel2, channel4, …). These values will be used if the thing receives an ON or OFF command.
Tunable White Thing (tunablewhite)
There is one mandatory configuration value for a dimmer thing. It is the dmxid, a list of DMX channels that are associated with this thing. There are several possible formats: channel1,channel2,channel3,... or channel/width or a combination of both. The number of channels has to be even. In the order "cool white, warm white". Additionally a channel for cool and warm white brightness as well as color temperature (0 being the coolest, 100 being the warmest) will be provided.
The fadetime option allows a smooth transition from the current to the new value. The time unit is ms and the interval is for a fade from 0-100%. If the current value is 25% and the new value is 75% the time needed for this change is half of fadetime. fadetimeis used for absolute values or ON/OFF commands send to the brightness channel. Related is the dimtime option: it defines the time in ms from 0-100% if incremental dimming (INCREASE/DECREASE) is used. For convenient use dimtime usually is set to a larger value than fadetime. Typical values are _PHONE_ ms for fadetime and 2000-5000 ms for dimtime.

Full Example
This example defines a sACN/E1.31 bridge in unicast mode which transmits universe 2 and three things: a three channel dimmer used to control a RGB light, which takes 1s to fade from one color to another and 10s from 0-100% on incremental dim commands, a single channel dimmer which will turn on only to 90% if it receives a ON command and does not fully switch off (to 10%) if it receives an OFF command and chaser which changes the colors like a traffic light.

The objective of this study was to investigate an indirect method of measuring the average junction temperature of a
white organic light-emitting diode (OLED) based on temperature sensitivity differences in the radiant power emitted by
individual emitter materials (i.e., "blue," "green," and "red"). The measured spectral power distributions (SPDs) of the
white OLED as a function of temperature showed amplitude decrease as a function of temperature in the different
spectral bands, red, green, and blue. Analyzed data showed a good linear correlation between the integrated radiance for
each spectral band and the OLED panel temperature, measured at a reference point on the back surface of the panel. The
integrated radiance ratio of the spectral band green compared to red, (G/R), correlates linearly with panel temperature.
Assuming that the panel reference point temperature is proportional to the average junction temperature of the OLED
panel, the G/R ratio can be used for estimating the average junction temperature of an OLED panel.

Street fair
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
A New York City street fair.
A street fair is a fair that celebrates the character of a neighborhood. As its name suggests, it is usually held on the main street of a neighborhood.
The principal component of street fairs are booths used to sell goods (particularly food) or convey information; sometimes they have carnival rides and parades, as well. Many have live music and dance demonstrations.[1]
They are usually no more than a few blocks long, although some fairs, such as the 9th Avenue International Food Festival in New York City and the Solano Stroll in Northern California extend more than a mile. A fair only one block long is commonly called a block party.
A street fair in the historically seafaring neighborhood of Ballard, Seattle, Washington
Street fairs vary greatly in character, even within one city. Annual street fairs in Seattle, for example, include the University District Street Fair, featuring the work of numerous craftspeople, and requiring that the person who actually made the goods that are for sale must be present in their own booth; the Fremont Fair features crafts from around the world, as well as the Summer Solstice Parade and Pageant, famed for its painted naked cyclists. In the same city the Capitol Hill Block Party fences off several blocks, charges admission, and features many of the city's best known rock bands while the Chinatown-International District Summer Fair has a distinctly Asian-American and Pacific Islander flavor, with taiko drummers, martial arts demonstrations, and Hawaiian dance.
In Belgium, street fairs are known as braderies, which translates to roasting; a reference to the frequent roasting of meat at these events.


text: Participatory budgeting is a method used by city governments to select public projects to fund based on residents' votes. Many cities use participatory budgeting at a district level. Typically, a budget is divided among districts proportionally to their population, and each district holds an election over local projects and then uses its budget to fund the projects most preferred by its voters. However, district-level participatory budgeting can yield poor social welfare because it does not necessarily fund projects supported across multiple districts. On the other hand, decision making that only takes global social welfare into account can be unfair to districts: A social-welfare-maximizing solution might not fund any of the projects preferred by a district, despite the fact that its constituents pay taxes to the city. Thus, we study how to fairly maximize social welfare in a participatory budgeting setting with a single city-wide election. We propose a notion of fairness that guarantees each district at least as much welfare as it would have received in a district-level election. We show that, although optimizing social welfare subject to this notion of fairness is NP-hard, we can efficiently construct a lottery over welfare-optimal outcomes that is fair in expectation. Moreover, we show that, when we are allowed to slightly relax fairness, we can efficiently compute a fair solution that is welfare-maximizing, but which may overspend the budget.

Justin Gaethje ● The Dominance of The Wrestler Base In MMA
Mindsmash is back with another intriguing analysis and question of why are wrestlers so dominant in MMA? Let's begin by taking a look at the players dominating in the sport. What is it about wrestling that makes it so powerful as an important discipline, when stringing together the rest of your arsenal? It's intent, as a sport and the philosophy it uses to execute that intent. So what is its intent?
"To Gain and Maintain a Superior Position"
This does two things. Using techniques to gain a superior position over the opponent. So that a fighter can hit you and you cannot hit them. With fighters like Tyron Woodley or Cody Garbrandt. Who can use their wrestling to keep the fight on the feet and away from the other fighters strengths. Which could, for instance, be Jiu Jitsu. That is why wrestling is so strong.
Wrestling is essentially a tool to inhibit the other opponent from using theirs, forcing you to play into their World. In MMA it may look a little different. But it's intent, its philosophy remains the same. Using explosiveness and technique to maintain a superior position over you.
Explosiveness is another key point we have to note. The explosive training regiment. Wrestling doesn't have as many techniques as Jiu Jitsu. Yet it is still very much a game of chess, a game of the mind. Mass times acceleration equals force. The faster you move your mass, the more force you will deliver.
Justin Gaethje is the newest athlete to sign with the UFC and he brings that same wrestling base with him. Gaethje was an NCCA division one All America wrestler. Who transitioning to MMA throughout college under the tutelage of Trevor Wittman. How will his skill set translate into the elite divisions of the UFC. With a fight of the year contender win over Michael Johnson, he's off to a great start. Let's deconstruct the overall philosophy they are using.

The Mastadge was a beast of burden found on Abydos. They are large, hairy quadrupeds with a long neck, larger than a horse, with a considerably keen sense of smell. Though the origins of the Mastadge are unclear, these creatures may be related to Terran horses who adapted in the harsh heat of day and cold of night in the Abydos desert. They were apparently well suited to living on the harsh desert climate, and also appeared to be able to breath during sandstorms.
The Mastadge has been domesticated for the Abydonians and, among being used for food and clothing, aided in labor during the thousands of years the population was oppressed by Ra. It is capable of galloping at great speeds. (Stargate)


Lotus-Notes-oriented questions on StackOverflow are infrequent enough that the single lotus-notes tag should encompass all Lotus Notes language topics, including LotusScript, the Notes formula language, the Notes C/C++ API, and the COM and Java interfaces. As such, it is better to use that tag, lotus-notes, rather than this one, lotusscript.
It is appropriate to also include specific language tags when asking questions about communicating with Lotus Notes from those languages, for example using.NET or VBA to send an email, or to pull data from SQL into Notes.

Views of stakeholders on career guidance services provided to pupils with hearing impairment at Nsonta secondary school in Kasama district of Zambia
MetadataShow full item record
The study investigated the views of stakeholders on career guidance services provided to pupils with hearing impairment at Nsonta Secondary school in Kasama district of Zambia. The study was guided by the following study objectives: to establish views of stakeholders on how career guidance was being provided to pupils with hearing impairment at Nsonta secondary school, to assess teachers' ability to communicate in sign language during career guidance activities at Nsonta secondary school; to explore views of stakeholders on content of career guidance provided to pupils with hearing impairment at the study school, and to document views of stakeholders on the relevance of career guidance services provided to pupils with hearing impairment at Nsonta Secondary School. The study was qualitative in nature and used a case study design. Interview guides were used on a sample of 25 pupils with hearing impairment two career guidance teachers and six subject teachers. The sample was selected using purposive sampling techniques while analysis of data was done thematically. The study revealed that: career guidance services were mostly provided through one to one approach, in groups and industrial education visits. It was also confident that career guidance teachers dealing with pupils, were knowledgeable of sign language. Hence, communicated effectively with pupils with hearing impairment regarding information on career guidance. Among the content of the information shared were: comprehensive sexuality, time management, choosing a career, knowing one's ability, studying techniques and choosing right friends. In terms of relevance, learners with hearing impairment had conflicting views. While the majority of the pupils considered the guidance service they received from the guidance teacher as relevant, however, the study expressed concerns such as failure among other pupils to comprehend some of the topics and limitations in use of sign language by some teachers. The study recommended that, teachers have adequate knowledge and skills in sign language through Continuing Professional Development (CPDs) programs to communicate well with pupils with hearing impairment and for them to benefit from the career guidance services being currently provided in the study school.
