What's new! – September 2019
The Prayer Shawl Ministry has made the world's best (really!) potholders and are selling them to church members for $10/pair! They make great stocking stuffers, hostess gifts, etc., and, of course you'll need a pair for yourself, too! We have lots of colors to choose from. Proceeds will go toward supplies and anything leftover to local mission work (tbd).
Fall Faith in Action will be held on November 2. The day starts with breakfast at the Almond Branch in West Milford, then teams go out to do yardwork. Work 1 hour or several, whatever you can give. For more information, please see Pastor Chris or Sue Elam. The larger spring Faith in Action will be on May 17, 2020, so mark your calendars for a great day of fellowship with area churches!
Consecration Sunday will be November 24! Pledge cards will be available in early November and be dedicated that day. If you miss the 24th and need a pledge card, please see Georgia Stephens or Martha Cook.
Hearts for Honduras is a mission of the Liberty Corner Presbyterian Church that is supported by many churches in the area. It is a successful mission and is growing every day. Honduras is one of the poorest countries in the Western Hemisphere. The Hearts for Honduras School was opened in 2000 to support the at-risk youth of the city of La Entrada. The first class had 23 students in 1st grade, from the poorest families in La Entrada. The school now has more than 190 students through 6th grade and a full curriculum, including Christian education. They've been able to change the attitudes and outlook of this community over the course of a generation of educated individuals. This year, they added another grade so that students can stay in school another year. Several students have gone on to high school and college during the last 20 years and then returned to the community to pay it forward. Families are required to contribute to the cost of their children's education and are involved in the school government, so they have something at stake. The remaining cost per student is $400/year. The money goes toward books, uniforms, and supplies as well as a nutritious daily meal, vitamins, health checkups, and teacher/staff salaries.
The ORPC would like to sponsor one student for 2019/2020. We're asking you to add a dollar or two to the jar in the narthex every time you leave church and we should have $400 in no time! Last year, a teacher and student came to the US and we met them at a Liberty Church member's home. When we talked with the student and asked him his favorite subject, he truly couldn't decide. When we asked his favorite place to be, he said, "SCHOOL!"
This mission is truly changing the world, one child at a time. More information is available at https://www.friendsofheartsforhonduras.org/.
Are you interested in giving to global mission projects? The Nurturing-Global Mission Committee will be bringing you more information on the many offerings collected by the Presbyterian Mission Agency. The first one is One Great Hour of Sharing, which we participate in every year. Our goal is to increase our contribution! This money provides relief to victims of natural disasters (Presbyterian Disaster Assistance), feeds the hungry (Presbyterian Hunger Program), and helps empower the poor and oppressed (Self-Development of People). The ORPC participates in many additional offerings.. The Pentecost Offering, which is collected in June. This goes to support ministries with youth and young adults as well as child advocacy programs. 40% will stay here to help local children at risk.
There is no commitment on our part, so please give as much or little as you want. You'll be hearing more about each offering during worship and in PresNotes. The Presbyterian Mission Agency has great programs and a solid reputation, so we're confident your contribution will get to the people who need it., If you'd like to give to global mission in a different way, the Presbyterian Mission Agency's Giving Catalog has been placed in the Narthex for anyone who would like to participate. You can give a small gift that makes a big impact. Here's where you can buy a cow, a pig, or a chicken, provide heat for refugees, support tutoring, purchase bus passes and school uniforms, and lots more. You can send your gift through the mail or go online at https://presbyteriangifts.org. If you have any questions, please see a member of the committee (Sue Elam, Rich and Donna Barry, Martha Cook, Chuck Flynn, Laura and Ray Woody) or Pastor Chris.
Where Can I Serve?
Jesus told us, his disciples, to make disciples of all nations. One of the most important values of this church is our mission to the community. It begins in our own community, and spreads overseas to every nation. Church members are involved in a variety of ministries from things as simple as praying for each other to making quilts, blankets and shawls for people in need.
Mission Outreach
ORPC is thrilled to be a part of the spread of God's kingdom around the world. We are active in community service, including events such as Faith in Action where we join with other local churches to help our communities. We encourage all of our people to respond to God's call for laborers, whether it means that they help in a foreign country or live and minister in our own community.
God-honoring worship is something we strive for. Many church members get involved in our music ministry. Some play their instruments. Others are involved in the choir. These volunteers are an important part of the ministry of our church, using their talents and gifts to glorify God.

Tabib's study
adde51 posted a topic in Guilds of HistoricaPondering the challenges presented by a growing city, Tabib D'Odo would often take refuge in his study to find some peace and quiet. His duties and responsibilities had increased dramatically over the past year as Mophet had grown from a quiet desert oasis into a rather large city. The previously scattered settlements and buildings had slowly merged together and a lot of new ones had been built. The walls of older settlements and forts in the region incorporated and renovated into proper city walls and with it, the formation of the official city guard of Mophet. All of this meant that a lot more things needed the attention of the leading members of the community, one of which was Tabib. All was not only pleasant with the growth of the city, as illustrated by the increased number of people with questionable motives that now frequented the markets and establishments. Tabib was especially concerned with the roumors that slave-traders had began to show up, transporting poor souls to who-knows-what. The matter had been discussed at length with some of the other members of the city counsil but some chose to look the other way as the trade did seem to generate a lot of revenue to the city. Tabib decided to write letters to some of the leading members of other prominant cities in Kaliphlin, hoping to gather support for tougher laws against this horrific custom. So this is a small vig I created to show the inside of my sig-fig Tabib's study. I came up with a design for the floor which I rather liked (see below for a small tutorial) and then tried to decorated the room with a few things to make it a little more habitable. Hope you guys like it. cheers.

[MOC] FTF FS-20 Roseboom heavy haulage (1:16)
dikkie klijn posted a topic in LEGO Scale ModelingCustom produced by FTF (Floor Truck Factory) using components from around the world, the truck was first put in use in 1989 by the Roseboom company. After switching owners and company the truck is nowadays beautifully restored in his old glory. After finding images of the restoration I fell in love with the color scheme and the challenge was set to build this beauty of a truck. Tan, red, sand green and dark green - Flickr The cabin tilts to reveal the V8 detroit diesel engine - Flickr Fully detailed interieur - Flickr The truck is combined with a Scheuerle EuroCombi Hauling a humongous dark red beam. The final model is build with full suspension, working fifth wheel, opening doors, cabin tilt and remote controlled with Sbrick. The trailer has a mechanical steering controlled by the two turntables the beam rests on and a detachable and operatabel gooseneck Dark red combines perfectly with the truck in my opinion - Flickr Yes, it is a long truck.... - Flickr The trailer comes fully equipped with extra weight and tools - Flickr Most of the details have been taken care of - Flickr PS, Yes the rims are painted.
Boy's Room
soccerkid6 posted a topic in Special LEGO ThemesThis was built for the ABS Builder Challenge, Round 1.2 It was largely inspired by Cesbrick's amazing Kid's Room model. This was quite an enjoyable change from my typical minifigure scale Castle creations. Both the closet doors and main door do open and close. You can see more pictures on brickbuilt.

Unwelcome Tidings
soccerkid6 posted a topic in Guilds of HistoricaMy 10th and last entry to the Colossal Castle Contest (small miscellaneous category). This was mainly a small fun build to mess around with new designs. I'm quite pleased with how it turned out, and that I was able to get every element actually attached, except the 3 logs which rest securely in the firewood bin. First installment in the story. After his first successful meeting with the Jarl of Balkr, Glorfindel had high hopes that he would meet with similar success when visiting other jarls and lords on the Nocturnus border. Dedan had set off for another clansman village, while Glorfindel's next trip took him to the medium sized town of Firoir. A single guard stood watch at the gate, or rather sat watch, as he was resting on a stool. "What's your business here?" He questioned, not bothering to stand. "I need to speak with Lord Tuinis," Glorfindel replied, taking in the somewhat disheveled uniform of the soldier. "Just straight on down the main road to his manor then, can't miss it." "Thank you, and good day," said Glorfindel, to which the guard merely grunted. Continuing on his way, Glorfindel saw that the guard was right and that it would be almost impossible to miss the large ornate manor. After an equally brief conversation with the steward, Glorfindel found himself face-to-face with Lord Tuinis in a lavish wood paneled room. "And what brings the esteemed Sir Glorfindel to the humble town of Firoir?" Asked Tuinis with a sneer. "Urgent orders from Elon Chorian no doubt, more men and supplies needed to defend our beloved capitol city?" Somewhat taken aback by the lord's belittling manner, Glorfindel tried to be diplomatic in his response: "It's always an honor to be received into any town of Mitgardia, and while the capitol is secure, I do bring word from Chorian that the villages, towns, and cities along the Nocturnus border should be fortified against a possible attack from the darklands. Tuinis jeered, "Of course! It's easy enough for him to order new fortifications and more soldiers to be trained, but we lords always pay the price for his petty concerns. Not a year ago, I was ordered to send troops and reserves of goods to the North for defense against the Algus threat. Yet this supposed threat to our existence was never even sighted by my scouts!" "Surely you don't mean to question the validity of the Algus attack?" Glorfindel asked incredulously. "Northern Mitgardia paid a dear price to keep the Algus from advancing to your doorstep! And if your scouts really never picked up on that threat, that only betrays their incompetence!" "You dare insult a lord of Mitgardia to his face at his own hearth?" spat Tuinis, "I know your kind, merely a lackey of Valholl, constantly sticking your nose into your better's business, and getting rewarded for it!" For a moment, Glorfindel could only consider the satisfaction a swift blow to the insolent face before him would provide, then with a great effort he controlled himself and turned from the room. Tuinis aimed one final insult at the retreating figure "That's right, crawl back to your fancy city and learn not to meddle. You have no authority here, boy." Another view of the build. I hope you're enjoying this storyline with Glorfindel, I'm having fun actually using my character for once Comments and suggestions always welcome
Grand Merchant Tajir
LittleJohn posted a topic in Guilds of HistoricaMy third entry into CCC XIV, for the Traveling Salesman category. Credit for the star mosaic over the throne goes to Disco86. One of the main things I wanted to include in this build was the awning over the king's seat, as it is historically accurate, and something I haven't seen done much in LEGO. The balcony area and floor were perhaps the funnest parts to build however. The grand merchant Tajir specializes in fine silks, spices, jewels, and robes. Tajir has brought a selection of his wares to King Dhahab. What sumptuous items will the King and Queen select? More pictures on Brickbuilt Thanks for looking, all C&C welcome
The Chase Begins
soccerkid6 posted a topic in LEGO Historic ThemesBuilt for the Isles of Aura. Dear Journal, After seeing a sign indicating that mercenaries, and bounty hunters were needed to hunt down a man simply known as 'the Cap'n', who had apparently become a significant trouble to the kingdom, I reported to the Town Hall to sign up for the mission. Inside I found a colonel overseeing the hiring, several soldiers keeping watch over the proceedings, and the usual clerks about their business. The contract was straight forward: only the first man to capture the rogue and bring him safely to the Realm of Vermilion would receive the the large bounty. As I signed the contract, along with several other men, I was surprised to see what appeared to be a young gentleman who looked to be a bit of a dandy, arrive. He talked to the Colonel privately for a moment, then turned to address us all. To my surprise, he apparently was going after the Captain himself, and he suggested we all work together to capture him, and then split the reward. For this purpose, he proposed to host a feast the next day, and our discussion of plans to occur there. The others agreed readily enough, but I had my doubts as to his true intentions, and thus had no plans of showing up, but planned to depart on the first ship I could find heading towards where the Captain had last been known to be operating. -Vigr Bardagi See more pictures, here.

Can Seatbelt Failure Cause Injury in a Car Accident?
Seatbelts are supposed to keep us safe in a car accident. However, defective seatbelts that fail when we need them most can actually cause greater injuries to a person in a passenger vehicle. When this occurs, the car retailer and manufacturer may be liable to victims.

Why cancer can hit SMEs harder
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are the backbone of the economy, creating jobs that make a massive contribution to the UK private sector. The bad news for smaller businesses has always been the numbers: a key employee with a cancer diagnosis in a small enterprise can mean panic stations, whereas a similar situation in a large corporation often means business as usual. 1.4 million SME businesses 1 employ people who could potentially benefit from some form of protection cover against long-term sickness absence, including cancer.
What modern insurers offer SMEs
Our industry offers SME employers several options to help combat the financial impact of cancer in the workplace. For example, group income protection and group critical illness policies backed with support services provided through EAPs (Employee Assistance Programmes) which are often provided at no extra cost. These policies offer different levels of cover to suit an employer's business needs and budget. Certain insurers provide bespoke rehabilitation services to support an employee when they are ready to return to work following treatment and recovery.
How group policies and EAP support services deliver SME cancer protection
Group income protection policies provide financial assistance for employees who are unable to work due to illness, so it can be a first line of defence against lost income when an employee's medical interventions for cancer begin. Employees will certainly need time off and a plan to return to work following successful treatment, so income protection can be a lifeline while this happens.
Group critical illness could offer a more direct financial intervention in the form of a tax-free cash sum for the employee following the cancer diagnosis. Although the financial side is key, a wide range of EAP support services can also do a great deal of heavy lifting for the SME. These can vary from provider to provider, but can include a special cancer drugs fund, access to a second medical opinion and phone-based helplines. Some providers can even offer cancer-related work support services, which can help employees come to terms with their illness, help them to self-manage their symptoms and where possible, return to work. It's worth remembering that 85% of people with cancer who were employed when diagnosed say it was important for them to continue working 2.
Offering group protection as part of an employee benefits package can also help SMEs demonstrate commitment to their workforces and help with recruitment and retention. Of course, none of this can overturn the tragic onset of cancer, but these services can provide extensive support for employees when it is needed most.

Twitter has given the world unprecedented access to the inner worlds of celebrities we're more used to seeing waxed, tweezed, plucked and airbrushed. The results can be gruesome. Here are 17 reasons superstars should pick up the phone to their publicists before hitting Share.
Justin Bieber
The tensed abs, the pained face, the naff tattoos… Justin Bieber makes the classic mistake of trying too hard.
Tom Hanks
We can see what Tom Hanks was aiming for here. Unfortunately the poorly judged marraige of facial and camera angles resulted in something deeply unflattering.
Chris Pratt
While the "tensed muscle selfie" is a necessary rite of passage for any buffed-up social media maven, Chris Pratt would have been better advised to keep the results of this particular photo shoot to himself.
James Franco
When you have cheekbones as fine as Franco's why cover them up?
P. Diddy
Taking pictures of yourself with something you could never hope to own is something poor people do. P Diddy should know better.
Ditto Eminem. (Mathers has form on this: remember when he tried to convince the world that Mariah Carey was in love with him? Sigh.)
Tyra Banks
Everyone has an angle that just doesn't work for them. Tyra Banks found hers. So not fierce.
Hilary Duff
Including others in your selfie introduces an unknown variable and thus added risk, as Hilary Duff recently discovered.
In theory, there's no reason why a woman in her fifties can't selfie her grill. In practice, well.
Lena Dunham
Some outfits even the most creative of compositions can't sort out. Lena Dunham was wearing one of them.
Kourtney Kardashian
Tempting fate, and uncharitable comparisons. Just say no.
Geraldo Rivera
Geraldo Rivera may well have the best body of any seventy-year-old out there. But that's still no excuse for doing this.
Adrianne Curry
Adrianne Curry's shocker of a selfie should serve as a warning to anyone considering a nudie of their own. If someone as attractive as Adrianne can get it so wrong, imagine how bad your own one probably is.
Jennifer Love-Hewitt
There's a fine line between ironic duck pout and… this. Jennifer Love-Hewitt slightly misfires with this heavily filtered number.
Lady Gaga
Gazing into your phone while taking a selfie runs the risk of you looking vacant. An elementary mistake.
Lindsay Lohan
Hair-bra is never acceptable. Even if you're Lindsay Lohan.
Chris Brown
Making yourself look as unlikeable as Chris Brown does in this photo is skill of sorts. But don't get tempted to emulate him. In any way.
Kim Kardashian
For regular followers of Kim's selfies, the following image may come as a bit of a shock. What on earth was she thinking?

Traveling on the water is a fun and enjoyable time to spend your time. Many people will opt for a boat or a raft to take them out on the water but nothing beats a kayak. With a kayak you have the freedom of a boat but the solidarity of your own personal vehicle. One great activity is san diego kayak fishing. When fishing from a kayak you are able to easily glide along the water naturally which doesn't disturb the fish and other wildlife.
Dress for the water
When going out onto the water most people will dress for the weather. This is not the case when going out onto a kayak. When traveling by kayak you want to dress for the water. You do this for safety and comfort. If something were to happen and you were to fall into the water wearing traditional clothing that is not geared for the water could cause you to have a lot of issues.
Learn safety practices
Traveling in a kayak is different than going by boat. If a kayak tips over, you will need to know how to get out and back to the surface safely. Before taking a kayak out onto the water by yourself make sure to be informed by a trained professional in all safety procedures.
Know the language of the water
This skill will take time to learn but with practice you will learn the language of the water. What this means is when you look at the water it should look like glass. When you see ripples, waves and other disturbances in the water you can be assured that there is something causing them. When in a kayak you want to avoid these as much as possible. Learn where to go and when and your adventure on the water will be fun and enjoyable.

Pursuit's Take
On September 19, 2014, an intruder jumped over the North Fence of the White House Complex and entered the White House before Secret Service personnel could apprehend him. A confluence of technical problems with radios, security equipment, and notification systems, as well as problems associated with the White House's infrastructure and surrounding physical environment, impeded the protective response.
No other fence jumper has ever made it so far through Secret Service's defenses.

Kim Pham, reporting for blogging duty.
Number of survivors: 8
(This following statistic reflects the class we held today. For our loved ones who tend towards worrying, please know that this paragraph is true only in a theatric sense) Trauma victims: Erin – from choking, Alda – from multiple drownings, Andrew – from a life-threatening bleeding wound, and Kim – from a compound fracture. Complete with blood and a collapse!
Today was the first day of our community health worker education program! We began the program with our trauma unit, and teachers Jackie and Frank used us as trauma examples to show the class. Twenty people showed up to a class that had been advertised by word of mouth. It was great to see everyone! Most of the attendees were current students, younger girls (and one boy!) that were a joy to see and work with. We also saw the healthcare staff of the current healthcare clinic (Khamding's sub-health post) as students, older ladies who had seen patients before.
The goal of this education program is two-fold: to inspire the young people of the region to pursue healthcare and to build a level skill base in the area to staff a clinic Wongchu (beloved Chyangba native and the man leading all development of the region) would like to build.
The class went for the day, and Jackie and Frank took center stage to teach. They covered a lot of skills for acute accidents and injuries. Andrew and I got to play with fake blood and a theater wound kit (in case you're curious, which we were, the fake blood doesn't taste good, so zombie-costumes were regretfully nixed).
On the patient side, we followed up with our child burn patient and our patient with trench foot, in addition to picking up one or two patients at Chyangba who traveled very far to see us. On a tougher note, the ear patient I saw yesterday stopped by our clinic. She was the patient whose wound had become so infected that you could smell the dead tissue and see the infection in her face. Her family explained that they didn't have enough money for her to stay the hospital. They wanted us to change her dressing. I think they really wanted us to make her better. We couldn't fix her, we stressed, because she needs an operation to cut out the infection. If she doesn't get to the hospital soon, the infection will enter her brain, and she will die. We are still at a standstill now. The situation is hard. Life is tough, and her child is small. I think we will see her again tomorrow. It is times like these that make me feel powerless. We can do so very little. We have given her antibiotics for ten days to keep the infection at bay, and she walks around unabashedly with our dressing of her wound. But she needs emergency surgery, and we do not have the resources to give her her life back. But can she take the option of surgery? Sigh. Life.
On a lighter note, Andrew is missing his mommy. Erin is alive and prepping frantically for her children's health program starting tomorrow. Alda and I started making faces at each other in class, and she does a great nasal flare. Frank is a turd, as usual. Lisa has managed to get every kid she meets to fall in love with her, and our tent snacktimes (Japanese snacks? Choice.) are a highlight in my day. She'll get to check the kids for lice tomorrow! Jackie is relaxing after her lecture, and Kelly is his usual spicy self.
Hope you are all doing well, friends and family! Life is always changing. I dream of home and think fondly and seriously of everything that I took for granted when I am in America. Take care of yourselves! Love you all.

Database types, sometimes referred to as database models or database families, are the patterns and structures used to organize data within a database management system. Many different database types have been developed over the years. Some are mainly historic predecessors to current databases, while others have stood the test of time. In the last few decades, new types have been developed to address changing requirements and different use patterns.
Your choice of database type can have a profound impact on what kind of operations your application can easily perform, how you conceptualize your data, and the features that your database management system offers you during development and runtime. In this guide, we'll take a look at how database types have evolved over time and what advantages and trade-offs are present in each design.
Legacy databases: paving the way for modern systems
Legacy database types represent milestones on the path to modern databases. These may still find a foothold in certain specialized environments, but have mostly been replaced by more robust alternatives for production environments.
This section is dedicated to historic database types that aren't used much in modern development. You canskip ahead to the section on relational databasesif you aren't interested in that background.
Flat-file databases: simple data structures for organizing small amounts of local data
The simplest way to manage data on a computer outside of an application is to store it in a basic file format. The first solutions for data management used this approach and it is still a popular option for storing small amounts of information without heavy requirements.
The first flat file databases represented information in regular, machine parse-able structures within files. Data is stored in plain text, which limits the type of content that can be represented within the database itself. A special character or other indicator is chosen to use as adelimiter, or marker for when one field ends and the next begins. For example, a comma is used in CSV (comma-separated values) files, while colons or white-space are used in many data files inUnix-likesystems.
/etc/passwdon *nix systems:
list:x:38:38:Mailing List Manager:/var/list:/usr/sbin/nologin
bob:x:1000:1000:Bob Smith,,,:/home/bob:/bin/bash
/etc/passwdfile defines users, one per line. Each user has attributes like name, user and group IDs, home directory and default shell, each separated by a colon.
While flat file databases are simple, they are very limited in the level of complexity they can handle. The system that reads or manipulates the data cannot make easy connections between the data represented. File-based systems usually don't have any type of user or data concurrency features either. Flat file databases are usually only practical for systems with small read or write requirements. For example, many operating systems use flat-files to store configuration data.
In spite of these limitations, flat-file databases are still widely used for scenarios where local processes need to store and organized small amounts of data. A good example of this is for configuration data for many applications on Linux and other Unix-like systems. In these cases, the flat-file format serves as an interface that both humans and applications can easily read and manage. Some advantages of this format are that it has robust, flexible tooling, is easily managed without specialized software, and is easy to understand and work with.

Hierarchical databases: using parent-child relationships to map data into trees
Initial introduction: 1960s
Hierarchical databases were the next evolution in database management development. They encode a relationship between items where every record has a single parent. This builds a tree-like structure that can be used to categorize records according to their parent record.
Diagram of a hierarchical database
This simple relationship mapping provides users with the ability to establish relationships between items in a tree structure. This is very useful for certain types of data, but does not allow for complex relationship management. Furthermore, the meaning of the parent-child relationship is implicit. One parent-child connection could be between a customer and their orders, while another might represent an employee and the equipment they have been allocated. The structure of the data itself does not distinguish between these relationships.
Hierarchical databases are the beginning of a movement towards thinking about data management in more complex terms. The trajectory of database management systems that were developed afterwards continues this trend.
Hierarchical databases are not used much today due to their limited ability to organize most data and because of the overhead of accessing data by traversing the hierarchy. However, a few incredibly important systems could be considered hierarchical databases. A filesystem, for instance, can be thought of as a specialized hierarchical database, as the system of files and directories fit neatly into the single-parent / multiple-child paradigm. Likewise, DNS and LDAP systems both act as databases for hierarchical datasets.
Network databases: mapping more flexible connections with non-hierarchical links
Initial introduction: late 1960s
Network databases built on the foundation provided by hierarchical databases by adding additional flexibility. Instead of always having a single parent, as in hierarchical databases, network database entries can have more than one parent, which effectively allows them to model more complex relationships. When talking about network databases, it is important to realize thatnetworkis being used to refer to connections between different data entries, not connections between different computers or software.
Diagram of a network database
Network databases can be represented by a genericgraphinstead of atree. The meaning of the graph was defined by aschema, which lays out what each data node and each relationship represents. This gave structure to the data in a way that could previously only be reached through inference.
Definition: Schema
A database schema is a description of the logical structure of a database or the elements it contains. Schemas often include declarations for the structure of individual entries, groups of entries, and the individual attributes that database entries are comprised of. These may also define data types and additional constraints to control the type of data that may be added to the structure.
Network databases were a huge leap forward in terms of flexibility and the ability to map connections between information. However, they were still limited by the same access patterns and design mindset of hierarchical databases. For instance, to access data, you still needed to follow the network paths to the record in question. The parent-child relationship carried over from hierarchical databases also affected the way that items could connect to one another.
It is difficult to find modern examples of network database systems. Setting up and working with network databases required a good deal of skill and specialized domain knowledge. Most systems that could be approximated using network databases found a better fit once relational databases appeared.
Relational databases: working with tables as a standard solution to organize well-structured data
Initial introduction: 1969
Relational databases are the oldest general purpose database type still widely used today. In fact,relational databases comprise the majority of databases currently used in production.
Relational databases organize data usingtables. Tables are structures that impose a schema on the records that they hold. Each column within a table has anameand adata type. Each row represents an individual record or data item within the table, which contains values for each of the columns. Relational databases get their name from the fact that relationships can be defined between tables.
Diagram of relational schema used to map entities for a school
Special fields in tables, calledforeign keys, can contain references to columns in other tables. This allows the database to bridge the two tables on demand to bring different types of data together.
The highly organized structure imparted by the rigid table structure, combined with the flexibility offered by the relations between tables makes relational databases very powerful and adaptable to many types of data. Conformity can be enforced at the table level, but database operations can combine and manipulate that data in novel ways.
While not inherent to the design of relational databases, a querying language called SQL, or structured query language, was created to access and manipulate data stored with that format. It can query and join data from multiple tables within a single statement. SQL can also filter, aggregate, summarize, and limit the data that it returns. So while SQL is not a part of the relational system, it is often a fundamental part of working with these databases.
Definition: SQL
SQL, or structured querying language, is a language family used to query and manipulate data within relational databases. It excels at combining data from multiple tables and filtering based on constraints which allow it to be used to express complex queries. Variants of the language has been adopted by almost all relational databases due to its flexibility, power, and ubiquity.
In general, relational databases are often a good fit for any data that is regular, predictable, and benefits from the ability to flexibly compose information in various formats. Because relational databases work off of a schema, it can be more challenging to alter the structure of data after it is in the system. However, the schema also helps enforce the integrity of the data, making sure values match the expected formats, and that required information is included. Overall, relational databases are a solid choice for many applications because applications often generate well-ordered, structured data.
NoSQL databases: modern alternatives for data that doesn't fit the relational paradigm
NoSQL is a term for a varied collection of modern database types that offer approaches that differ from the standard relational pattern. The term NoSQL is somewhat of a misnomer since the databases within this category are more of a reaction against the relational archetype rather than the SQL querying language.
Key-value databases: simple, dictionary-style lookups for basic storage and retrieval
Initial introduction: 1970s | Rise in popularity: 2000-2010
Key-value databases, or key-value stores, are one of the simplest database types. Key-value stores work by storing arbitrary data accessible through a specifickey. To store data, you provide a key and the blob of data you wish to save, for example a JSON object, an image, or plain text. To retrieve data, you provide the key and will then be given the blob of data back. The database does not evaluate the data it is storing and allows limited ways of interacting with it.
Diagram of key-value data store
If key-value stores appear simple, it's because they are. But that simplicity is often an asset in the kinds of scenarios where they are most often deployed. Key-value stores are often used to store configuration data, state information, and any data that might be represented by adictionaryorhashin a programming language. Key-value stores provide fast, low-complexity access to this type of data.
Key-value databases don't prescribe any schema for the data they store, and as such, are often used to store many different types of data at the same time. The user is responsible for defining any naming scheme for the keys that will help identify the values and are responsible for ensuring the value is of the appropriate type and format. Key-value storage is most useful as a lightweight solution for storing simple values that can be operated on externally after retrieval.
One of the most popular uses for key-value databases are to store configuration values and application variables and flags for websites and web applications. Programs can check the key-value store, which is usually very fast, for their configuration when they start. This allows you to alter the runtime behavior of your services by changing the data in the key-value store. Applications can also be configured to recheck periodically or to restart when they see changes. These configuration stores are often persisted to disk periodically to prevent loss of data in the event of a system crash.
Document databases: Storing all of an item's data in flexible, self-describing structures
Rise in popularity: 2009
Document databases, also known as document-oriented databases or document stores, share the basic access and retrieval semantics of key-value stores. Document databases also use a key to uniquely identify data within the database. In fact, the line between advanced key-value stores and document databases can be fairly unclear. However, instead of storing arbitrary blobs of data, document databases store data in structured formats called documents, often using formats like JSON, BSON, or XML.
Diagram of document database
Though the data within documents is organized within a structure, document databases do not prescribe any specific format or schema. Each document can have a different internal structure that the database interprets. So, unlike with key-value stores, the content stored in document databases can be queried and analyzed.
In some ways, document databases sit in between relational databases and key-value stores. They use the simple key-value semantics and loose requirements on data that key-value stores are known for, but they also provide the ability to impose a structure that you can use to query and operate on the data in the future.
The comparison with relational databases shouldn't be overstated, however. While document databases provide methods of structuring data within documents and operating on datasets based on those structures, the guarantees, relationships, and operations available are very different from relational databases.
Document databases are a good choice for rapid development because you can change the properties of the data you want to save at any point without altering existing structures or data. You only need to backfill records if you want to. Each document within the database stands on its own with its own system of organization. If you're still figuring out your data structure and your data is mainly composed discrete entries that don't include a lot of cross references, a document database might be a good place to start. Be careful, however, as the extra flexibility means that you are responsible for maintaining the consistency and structure of your data, which can be extremely challenging.
Graph databases: mapping relationships by focusing on how connections between data are meaningful
Rise in popularity: 2000s
Graph databases are a type of NoSQL database that takes a different approach to establishing relationships between data. Rather than mapping relationships with tables and foreign keys, graph databases establish connections using the concepts ofnodes,edges, andproperties.
Diagram of a graph database structure
Graph databases represents data as individual nodes which can have any number of properties associated with them. Between these nodes, edges (also called relationships) are established to represent different types of connections. In this way, the database encodes information about the data items within the nodes and information about their relationship in the edges that connect the nodes.
At a glance, graph databases appear similar to earlier network databases. Both types focus on the connections between items and allow for explicit mapping of relationships between different types of data. However, network databases require step-by-step traversal to travel between items and are limited in the types of relationships they can represent.
Graph databases are most useful when working with data where the relationships or connections are highly important. It is essential to understand that when talking about relational databases, the word "relational" refers to the ability to tie information in different tables together. On the other hand, with graph databases, the primary purpose is defining and managing relationships themselves.
For example, querying for the connection between two users of a social media site in a relational database is likely to require multiple table joins and therefore be rather resource intensive. This same query would be straightforward in a graph database that directly maps connections. The focus of graph databases is to make working this type of data intuitive and powerful.
Column-family databases: databases with flexible columns to bridge the gap between relational and document databases
Rise in popularity: 2000s
Column-family databases, also called non-relational column stores, wide-column databases, or simply column databases, are perhaps the NoSQL type that, on the surface, looks most similar to relational databases. Like relational databases, wide-column databases store data using concepts like rows and columns. However, in wide-column databases, the association between these elements is very different from how relational databases use them.
In relational databases, a schema defines the column layout in a table by specifying what columns the table will have, their respective data types, and other criteria. All of the rows in a table must conform to this fixed schema.
Instead of tables, column-family databases have structures calledcolumn families. Column families contain rows of data, each of which define their own format. A row is composed of a unique row identifier — used to locate the row — followed by sets of column names and values.
With this design, each row in a column family defines its own schema. That schema can be easily modified because it only affects that single row of data. Each row can have different numbers of columns with different types of data. Sometimes it helps to think of column family databases as key-value databases where each key (row identifier) returns a dictionary of arbitrary attributes and their values (the column names and their values).
Diagram of column-family database structure
Column-family databases are good when working with applications that requires great performance for row-based operations and highly scalability. Since all of the data and metadata for an entry is accessible with a single row identifier, no computationally expensive joins are required to find and pull the information. The database system also typically makes sure all of the data in a row is collocated on the same machine in a cluster, simplifying data sharding and scaling.
However, column-family databases do not work well in all scenarios. If you have highly relational data that requires joins, this is not the right type of database for your application. Column-family databases are firmly oriented around row-based operations. This means that aggregate queries like summing, averaging, and other analytics-oriented processes can be difficult or impossible. This can have a great impact on how you design your applications and what types of usage patterns you can use.
NewSQL databases: bringing modern scalability and performance to the traditional relational pattern
Rise in popularity: 2010s
NoSQL databases are great options for situations where your data does not fit neatly into the relational pattern. Since they were developed more recently, NoSQL systems tend to be designed with scalability and modern performance requirements in mind.
However, until recently, no solution existed to easilyscalerelational data. To address this need, a new type of relational databases called NewSQL databases were developed.
NewSQL databases follow the relational structure and semantics, but are built using more modern, scalable designs. The goal is to offer greater scalability than relational databases and greaterconsistency guaranteesthan NoSQL alternatives. They achieve this by sacrificing certain amounts of availability in the event of a networking partition. The trade offs between consistency and availability is a fundamental problem of distributed databases described by theCAP theorem.
Definition: CAP Theorem
The CAP theorem is a statement about the trade offs that distributed databases must make between availability and consistency. It asserts that in the event of a network partition, a distributed database can choose either to remain available or remain consistent, but it cannot do both. Cluster members in a partitioned network can continue operating, leading to at least temporary inconsistency. Alternatively, at least some of the disconnected members must refuse to alter their data during the partition to ensure data consistency.
To address the availability concern, new architectures were developed to minimize the impact of partitions. For instance, splitting data sets into smaller ranges calledshardscan minimize the amount of data that is unavailable during partitions. Furthermore, mechanisms to automatically alter the roles of various cluster members based on network conditions allow them to regain availability quickly.
Because of these qualities, NewSQL databases are best suited for use cases with high volumes of relational data in distributed, cloud-like environments.
While NewSQL databases offer most of the familiar features of conventional relational databases, there are some important differences that prevent it from being a one-to-one replacement. NewSQL systems are typically less flexible and generalized than their more conventional relational counterparts. They also usually only offer a subset of full SQL and relational features, which means that they might not be able to handle certain kinds of usage. Many NewSQL implementations also store a large part of or their entire dataset in the computer's main memory. This improves performance at the cost of greater risk to unpersisted changes.
NewSQL databases are a good fit for relational datasets that require scaling beyond what conventional relational databases can offer. Because they implement the relational abstraction and provide SQL interfaces, transitioning to a NewSQL database is often more straightforward than moving to a NoSQL alternative. However, it's important to keep in mind that although they mostly seek to replicate the conventional relational environments, there are differences that may affect your deployments. Be sure to research these differences and identify situations where the resemblance breaks down.
Database types have changed a lot since their initial introduction and new database ideas are actively being developed today. Each of the types used in modern systems have distinct advantages that are worth exploring given the right access patterns, data properties, and requirements. One of the first and most important decisions when starting a new project is evaluating your needs and finding the type that matches your project's demands.
Many times, using a mixture of different database types is the best approach for handling the data of your projects. Your applications and services will influence the type of data being generated as well as the features and access patterns you require. For example, user information for your system might fit best in a relational database, while the configuration values for your services might benefit from an in-memory key-value store. Learning what each type of database offers can help you recognize which systems are best for all of your different types of data.

After the fiberglass had cured for several days (long enough I hope it had bonded as well as it was ever going to), it was time to cut the excess fiberglass off to create the finished edge of the opening. Using the vibrating multi-tool I picked up at Harbor Freight a while ago, I trimmed the edge down even with the existing structure. I then sanded it to even everything out and make it look like it should.
|Edge all trimmed, note how thick it is now.
Next, I needed to re-drill the mounting holes. In all but one case, part of the old hole was left behind so it was a simple matter to punch through the new layers of fiberglass (using a wood backing block helped to prevent splintering). Once those holes were in place, I temporarily mounted the roller so I could mark the location for the one new hole. After it was marked, that hole was drilled.
Originally, the anchor roller was mounted with simple fender washers to back up the bolts against the fiberglass. A better option, and one that may have prevented the failure of the fiberglass around the bolts in the first place, would have been a proper backing plate. So I decided I would do the right thing and I had a stainless steel backing plate made at a local machine shop.
|Old backing versus new...which one do you think is better?
With new holes and a new backing plate, I decided it would be a good idea to test fit everything before I painted the new fiberglass. When fitting the backing plate, I noticed that a couple drips of epoxy were preventing the plate from sitting flush. I grabbed my Dremel tool, put on a small drum sanding bit, and removed the drips. The plate now sat flat. Of course, this was the point where my ring decided to go for a swim. Note to self: I need to make sure I remove jewelry, no matter how minor the project.
I had purchased some bilge paint to coat the new fiberglass in the anchor roller locker, but I guess I should have read the label better. Checking the label, it said it wasn't for use with epoxy without special primers and at the temperatures I would be working in, it said it would take two or three days to dry between coats. I decided I would return the paint and use gel coat instead. It should provide good protection and won't have the same drying issues...or so I thought.
|Proof the gel coat was mixed well.
I'm not sure what happened, but a couple small spots on the first coat of gel coat didn't cure properly. Even though I used finishing gel coat with wax, a few of the spots acted like the wax didn't work. What is it with waxed gel coat not always curing properly. I guess, in the future, I should just use laminating gel coat and plan to use poly vinyl alcohol (PVA) to seal the surface for the final cure. I ended up applying more gel coat to the problem spots and that did the trick.
|Everything coated and ready to mount the roller.
After letting the gel coat cure, I used some sandpaper to clean out a few drips from the mounting holes and I was finally ready to bolt everything back together. Once more into the dinghy (so I could work from below the locker) and with Bill's help I was able to get the roller mounted and the anchor back on the end of it's chain.
|The Mantus back home where it belongs.
Everything seems very solid now, no movement of the roller bail at all even when I put all my weight on it. Between the added thickness of fiberglass and the new backing plate, I think the mount is significantly improved. Hopefully it will keep the Mantus anchor secure for a long, long time.

|Making mini greenhouses on our new potting bench.
We had a good day outside yesterday. We built a potting bench and started making mini greenhouses from milk jugs and filling them with homemade potting soil. We will use the first batch for our spring garden with seeds for broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels Sprouts, cabbage and a few other early spring plants.
|No, I can't function without my MP3 player.

Cherry Mobile Cosmos Z2 vs Starmobile Diamond X1, Octa Core Phones Head-to-Head Specs Comparison
Last month, Starmobile announced their first ever phablet featuring an Octa core processor, the Starmobile Diamond X1. Cherry Mobile on the other hand announced the CM Cosmos Z2 just today during their #WeAreOnFire event held at the Hyatt Hotel, also featuring an octa core chip. We here at CTB loves a good healthy competition, so we have decided to put a little head-to-head specs comparison of these two octa core running phones by our local mobile players. Catch the details after the break!
First things first, to be fair, we have not yet tried the Diamond X1 and the Cosmos Z2 ourselves, so this comparison will depend mainly on the phones' official specs and features, printed on sheets! (more…)

Suze Orman is one of the juggernauts for good reason. She's whip smart, tells it like it is, and most importantly, she has street cred because she's been at the bottom before – living paycheck to paycheck with big dreams and no financial security.
My favorite Suze story – early in life, she trusted a big name brokerage firm to handle her money and lost everything. Then she went to work for that big name brokerage firm – if you can't beat 'em, join 'em, she figured. While there, she realized that the agent who had lost all her money was a sketchy crook, so she sued the company she was working for! The company settled out of court, which is a win in my book.
Her biggest catchphrase – People first, then money, then things.
Notice how "things" is the lowest on the priority list? I discovered this first hand with my No Buy Resolution last year – I didn't buy any things and life went on just fine. In my opinion, if you have financial security and feel you and your loved ones are well cared for, that's wealth. Owning a big house, driving a fancy car, and dropping $590 on one sweater – that's just stupid.
Suze Ormanis a smarty pants who can teach all of you a thing or two about handling your money. If you're new to Suze, I suggest starting with the free weekly podcast of The Suze Orman Show. Start watching and you'll not only learn something, you'll be wildly entertained. (I love hearing her say, "DENIED!")
If you're just starting out and looking for some nuts and bolts advice, I suggest reading her book The Money Book for the Young, Fabulous & Broke.Pick up a used paperback from Amazon for less than $5! Now that's smart...

Aurum Rose Vintage 2011 Methode Traditionelle Central Otago
Fragrant, floral and attractive bouquet of light red fruits and florals - red apple, strawberry and cherry come to mind, a noticeable autolysis adds depth and a little complexity. On the palate - dry, crisp and quite flavorful with the mix of red fruits and apple/pear notes alongside the yeasty complexity there's a serious side to this wine. There's also a portion of Pinot Gris in the blend and this adds a little more juicy texture. Quite a long finish with a crisp bite. Well made and totally drinkable through 2018.

Just trying to find someone to get my Jeep running and back on the road. It hasn't been registered for about 4-5 years now and isn't running. I live on the sunshine coast so someone local would be good but could trailer it to Brisbane if I had to. Hopefully someone with more knowledge and time than I have.

Bordering Hoshiarpur is the Kangra district, and Una district of Himachal Pradesh in the northeast, Shahid Bhagat Singh Nagar district, Jalandhar district, and Kapurthala district in the southwest and Gurdaspur district in the northwest.
Why Bulk SMS Service is better than Email Marketing?
Often people are in dilemma that which marketing channel should they prefer between Bulk SMS and Email. There are several reasons why Bulk SMS Service is better than Email Marketing. In the points below, you will find a comparative study between Bulk SMS and Email which will help you to decide which medium to choose.
- Instant reach – People carry their mobile phones with them wherever they go. So there are high chances of the message being read. Whereas the email remains unread for days. The open rate of SMS is 98% and that of an email is only 22%.
- High readability – More than 70% of emails are marked as spam. This filtration is not there in case of an SMS as SMS reaches directly in the mobile inbox. Hence the chances of ignoring SMS is very rare.
- Personalized – SMS gives a personalized touch to our branding. It helps us in connecting with our customers at a much deeper level and build an irreproachable reputation of our brand.
- Simple and effective – SMS Service is the easiest way to build rapport with the clients. In email marketing you have to craft lengthy emails with catchy headlines. SMS marketing is a far better choice than email marketing as you just have to create a concise text upto 160 characters and start sending SMS to your target group.
Hence we can conclude that Bulk SMS Service is a much better advertising tool than Email marketing and is gradually gaining an edge over all other promotional tools.

So that's that. A 2015 Ashes conclusion that leaves us poking around in the same confusion and bemusement as during the opening paragraphs, when the Australian favourites suddenly found themselves being spanked around the wider environs of Cardiff.
It's been a bizarre series, demonstrating that momentum is but the frailest of illusions, as each side has lurched back and forth like a Punch and Judy set in receiving and handing out beltings.
Basically, we've been watching two sides that aren't very good. With about five reliable performers between the central 22, the rest have collapsed into a mud-wrestle of competing incompetence.
It's not that they haven't tried, it's that they haven't known how to succeed. It's been like a high-school drama class trying to stage Carmen in a packed opera house, live horses and all.
England came away having collapsed one time fewer than Australia. Congratulations, you win this really unreliable car.
That primacy was based on a few spells of top-notch bowling in English seaming conditions, a couple of hours of inept Australian batsmanship in the same, and the lone talent of Joe Root, who acted as the binding glue on the crumbling plaster fresco of England's batting order.
For their part Australia used scoreboard pressure to squash England in the two matches when they batted first and batted big, but were squished themselves the other two times they batted first.
Only Chris Rogers dealt with the moving ball, and Cricket Australia will have to find a way to give players time in county cricket to have any hope in four years' time.
As for their vaunted bowling, it couldn't rein in England when it mattered. Dan Brettig's last book analogised the 2006-07 England Ashes team as an army preparing for the last war. This time Australia's management was guilty of the same. The presence of Patrick Cummins in the squad – so undercooked that he could have been pizza dough – tells all you need to know.
With visions of the 2013-14 Ashes and the home World Cup, Australia arrived with the same simplistic plan of blasting England out. The problem is that dynamite and matches don't tend to work so well in the wet. Britain's natural moisture dampened the squib, and Australia never achieved ignition.
Mitchell Johnson was his old self in bursts: a day at Lord's, an over at Birmingham, but overall a disappointment with well under half the wickets of his last Ashes. Josh Hazlewood couldn't find his groove on local tracks and faded as the series went on.
Mitchell Starc's MO was set from the Essex tour match: five and a half hours of spraying the ball short and wide and high and wild, then half an hour of stumps flying to the tune of six wickets.
Once the Tests began he sustained the former mode but rarely the latter. He was looked to as the spearhead but couldn't break the skin. He led the Australians for wickets, but that tally of 18 was mostly made up of two bags that look good on paper but mean nothing.
In Cardiff he took 5-114 but England still romped to 430. At Trent Bridge his 6-111 didn't keep England from a declaration at nearly 400 and an innings win.
A good bowling average is in the 20s, but that includes the best days and the worst. To dominate an innings a bowler needs to strike at well below that mark.
Admittedly Australia could have picked an attack of Laker, Trueman, Gandalf and Rambo and it wouldn't have helped in a match where they were rolled for 60 batting first. But Starc totalled two wickets across Australia's two Test wins, and three at Birmingham where salvage was possible, even if unlikely.
No doubt he'll be better for the experience, and his potential upside remains high. It's just a matter of how long it might take to realise that in the Test arena.
Coupled with Hazlewood, Cummins, James Pattinson, Gurinder Sandhu, Nathan Coulter-Nile and the rejuvenated Peter Siddle, Australia's fast bowling looks well set for the years ahead. Nathan Lyon, if he stays fit, is another reliable component.
The top seven is another matter. Peter Nevill has just replaced Brad Haddin. Ditto Mitchell Marsh for Shane Watson. Adam Voges is newly arrived. Rogers is gone. Michael Clarke is gone. Replacing them, the nation barely has a batsman who has a first-class average over 40.
Of those who do, Mark Cosgrove isn't judged to have the physique, Cameron White has been and gone, Matthew Wade is a peripheral wicketkeeper, and it'll be a cold day in hell before Darren Lehmann recalls Ed Cowan. David Hussey is miles ahead of everyone, averaging 52, but 38-year-olds don't make Test sides. The best chance lies with Joe Burns, who debuted last summer, and Chris Lynn.
Outside that group, Usman Khawaja is the other obvious chance, making his way back from a knee injury, recovering form and captaining Queensland and Australia A.
There's talk about Cameron Bancroft, Jordan Silk and Nic Maddinson, but none has yet entered a compelling argument.
Marcus Stoinis is in the ODI squad for the upcoming series against England, but has a stronger first-class record. Callum Ferguson is a relatively sprightly 30. Or if they go back to the senior route, Michael Klinger has just turned 35, and like Rogers, has been a prolific recent scorer in all formats.
Many options, all of them gambles. The way forward for Australia is not known. Their Ashes opponent has a much clearer future.
England may already be turning nervous eyes towards a meeting with Pakistan in the United Arab Emirates – the green team is formidable in that part of the world, and with little spin nor capacity to play it, England could find their trip as embarrassing as Australia's there last November.
But in the main, England have won the Ashes with a largely young team that could largely be together for a long time to come. An opener must be found – Alex Hales, probably – and Ian Bell may not have much time.
But a refreshed Alastair Cook now has captaincy miles left in him, Root will only get better, Gary Ballance will be back at first drop before too long, and there is a potentially incredible axis of batting power in Ben Stokes at six, Jos Buttler at seven and Moeen Ali at eight.
England's seamers have shown they can cover Jimmy Anderson, with Mark Wood coming through and Steven Finn coming good.
After three Ashes series in two years, it will now be two and a half before England next visit Australian shores. Time then to breathe a sigh of relief.
England's team could by then be a cohesive outfit. Australia's team could be anything. With any luck, by that stage both sides will have grasped a little more firmly how to go about this cricket caper.

Hi, when I run a One-way ANOVA (non parametric) and DSCF pairwise comparisons, the results of the pairwise comparison are not displayed and I get the following error : "first argument must be a vector".
I don't know if it's a bug or if I'm doing anything wrong but I've tried many things and I could never display the results. When I uncheck the DSCF pairwise comparisons, everything's fine. I use the 188.8.131.52 version. If ever it is useful, I'm attaching the .omv file.
Thanks a lot for your help.

On the Body

After eating cake for breakfast
The Having
There are mornings I sit in my bra
in the kitchen and marvel at the cake
I have eaten. Once the cake is gone
(it's not) but once it is (it will be)
I will be free to think of other things
(fire, politics) but while it remains
in its long rectangular glass,
it occupies my mind. As for the mind,
once it is gone (it's not) but once it is
(it will be) then I can let my body go.
I think that my body will probably go upstairs,
out onto the balcony, into the hammock.
It will be moved back and forth by wind.
I hope it will not clean out the dishwasher.
I hope it will not rinse the cake plate
so completely clean before wedging
it into the newly emptied dishwasher.
Surely it will want other things–
to have poems tapped out onto the skin,
to re-learn desire, to un-learn sin.

3 Whey Interesting Cheese Facts You Might Not Know
Read time: 3 minutes
Cheese facts are plentiful on the internet, from discovery-by-accident origin stories to Queen Victoria's giant cheese-wheel wedding gift.
Here are three not-so-typical cheese facts that relate to cheese production, its global reach, and cultural importance.
1) How science saved the cheese industry
During the 1970s, traditional rennet (harvested from calf stomachs and used to create cheese solids) became harder to get. As the veal industry folded, due to animal rights awareness and activism, the coagulating agent became scarce.
With consumers' increasing demand for cheese and dwindling rennet supplies, cheesemakers needed an alternative coagulant.
In the 1990s, the FDA approved a new lab-generated solution. Scientists were able to genetically engineer Chymosin, the crucial enzyme in rennet, creating an identical copy, and by-passing the need for calf stomachs.
As consumers' distaste for GMOs surfaced, the Fermentation-Produced Chymosin (FPC) came under fire. However, the lab-produced rennet withstood public scrutiny; there was practically no genetically-modified material in the FDA-approved FPC.
In fact, FPC changed cheese manufacturing, eliminating its dependence on veal rennet.
2) How imported cheese made it big in China
Up until the 1990s, China was not big on cheese — at least western-style cheese such as cheddar and mozzarella.
However, with a growing middle class, more western foods (and cheese) made it into China, in the way of fast food and high-end restaurants. Over time, people developed a taste for the "milk concentrate."
Around 1996, the cheese-pioneering distributor Samir Kumar, with the small Australian company Frontier Foods, convinced the manager of the brand-new Shenzhen Wal-Mart to stock his cheeses. He became known as "the Cheeseman," eventually supplying additional big stores in China, such as Carrefour, Jusco, and Lainhua.
Fast forward to 2019, and China's demand for imported cheese continues to climb. In fact, according to Statistica, "the market is expected to grow annually by 3.9%" through 2023.
3) Why this Italian cheese is illegal
On the Mediterranean island of Sardinia, open-air markets sell everything from T-shirts to tomatoes. That includes cheeses unique to Sardinia, such as Casizolu — a cheese made from Sardinian-Bruno and Sarda-Modicana cow's milk since medieval times
With more than 3,500,000 sheep, goats, and cows grazing the rocky island, cheese is an important part of the Sardinian culture and cuisine.
But there's one type of cheese that you won't find alongside the beloved Casizolu. Unless you "know someone," it will be a challenge to find the unusual pecorino, Casu marzu.
Be warned, scarce as it may be, Casu marzu is not for the timid.
Using an ancient fermentation process, farmers expose wheels of pecorino to cheese flies, allowing fly larvae to enter and break down the cheese. When ripe, the cheese—and live larvae—are spread on Sardinian bread. (Eye protection is recommended, as the larvae tend to jump from the cheese.)
However, due to E.U. food regulations, and possible health risks associated with eating the cheese, Casu Mazu was outlawed in the 1990s. But the cherished cheese lives on!
In true cottage-industry-style, Sardinians continue to make and sell the cultural delicacy—only to trusted Casu marzu sources, of course.
Cheese facts rising to the surface
Cheese continues to create interest around the world — from U.S. consumers' increased cheese demand (offsetting declining milk consumption) to E.U. cheesemakers staking claims on cheese naming rights. More interesting facts are guaranteed to emerge!
