The OU Job Board Training used to offer courses, but I’m not sure if they’re still available.
If you’re a resident of New York City, you can qualify for a free Lynda.com subscription by getting a New York Public Library card – the website has many high-quality tutorials in many different technical topics. You can pay for a subscription also but it’s expensive. Pluralsight can also work.
There are also many free tutorials, but usually paid ones are better.

bekitzurParticipantI heard there’s a tribe in the Amazon that produces it.
bekitzurParticipantThe strategy I use is to stand between the two of the long rows, and at each stop when it looks like someone is about to get off, I move towards the seat so that everyone knows it’s mine. It works pretty well.

bekitzurParticipantWell, two of the issues are (a) the training and (b) the Shabbos-every-72-minutes problem.
bekitzurParticipantI know someone who wants to start a counter-protest group for pro-Israel students (from frum to non-Jewish) but is afraid that the frum world will denounce it as “drawing attention to ourselves” and “not the Jewish way”.
I personally think it would be great if people knew that there are Jewish students who are pro-Israel and willing to stand up for it.
bekitzurParticipantEngineering, IY”H.
Events: Review classes, meetings, etc.
bekitzurParticipantbirdson – that’s exactly where I’m thinking of going. Would you be able to find out for me what the culture’s like there, whether they are respectful about Yamim Tovim and things like that?
Mods – is it possible for me to get in touch with birdson?
Sorry, no.
bekitzurParticipantThere’s Bais Yaakov Intensive in Boro Park, and Machon Basya Rochel in Far Rockaway.
bekitzurParticipant100% okay.
bekitzurParticipantYW fan,
This is from a site I saw explaining it.
“The lungs have what are called “Volumes” and “Capacities”. The link describes all of them. For our purposes, you need to understand these two phrases: Functional Reserve Capacity (the amount of air left in the lungs after a normal exhalation) and Expiratory Reserve Volume (the amount of air you can still force out of your lungs after a normal exhalation).
When you take a normal breath you breathe in and out you are breathing about 500ml of air. After breathing out, you are left with ~2400ml of air inside your lungs, this is the Functional Reserve Capacity. If you try to force out as much air as possible, you can still force out ~1200ml more air. This is the Expiratory Reserve Volume. This is air you are able to speak with even if you cannot take a normal breath. Important Note: Notice that the Expiratory Reserve Volume is more than twice the size of a normal breath. That is a lot of air you are able to force out, and a lot of speaking you can do even if you can’t breathe.
The lungs work on negative pressure. So, your lungs, when you breathe in, are at a lower pressure than the outside air. This draws the air into them. This is caused by your diaphragm and intercostal muscles. Your lungs are very elastic, and will move back to their normal size during exhalation. This is where the problem begins for officers. If you are kneeling on a suspect, or you have them handcuffed on the ground so that they are on their chest, there is a strong possibility that you can cut off their ability to breathe. Once the lungs begin to exhale, they collapse, but if you they are being pressed down on by body weight, they may not be able to re-expand. They then continue to collapse, forcing out the Functional Reserve Capacity of air, but not drawing in a new breath. So, your suspect may be pleading for breath, they may actually be incapable of drawing one in, and the reason is you. If someone is saying they cannot breathe, you need to believe them, because you might be killing them. Furthermore, during any kind of physical altercation, that person may be breathing deeply and rapidly, making their lungs collapse faster when you are kneeling on them or holding them on the ground.”

bekitzurParticipantWhy draw a line?
bekitzurParticipantCoffee – I actually laughed out loud at that!
bekitzurParticipantA while ago a Tzitzis company advertised something like “If it’s knot good it’s (company name).” We all had a good laugh!
bekitzurParticipantI. M. Shluffin – interesting, that’s exactly the reason the Chachamim changed “Arneves” by Targum Shiv’im.

bekitzurParticipantTry the Mason-Briggs test. It’s designed to match your personality to jobs.
bekitzurParticipantHi again! Thank you *so* much for the advice! I’m really touched.
I knew everyone would be really disappointed if I listened to it in the end. So I didn’t. I basically locked myself out of my computer for two days till the effect of practically yearning for it wore off.
It’s really nice that I can discuss this on an online forum and nobody judged me at all and really helped me.
bekitzurParticipantDaasYochid – it’s easy enough to find it on any website.
bekitzurParticipantY’know that “turkey” in Hebrew is “Hodu”… turkey = thankfulness.
bekitzurParticipantIf you live near me, you can use the service I know about.

bekitzurParticipantHELP! I gained a ton of weight over Rosh Hashanah! It’s impossible to diet on Shabbos/Yom Tov because I have no clue what everything is worth. Zuccini kugel? Sugarless apple muffins? I just don’t know!
bekitzurParticipantIf you vote – regardless of who it is for – candidates will see that Orthodox Jews vote and will campaign for that vote. If you don’t vote, they won’t campaign – make promises, etc – to you.

bekitzurParticipantDon’t know. If there is a way I can give it to the mods and they can give it to you…
September 4, 2013 5:32 am at 5:32 am in reply to: Why Would a Girl Even Want to Learn Talmud? #973919bekitzurParticipantI think BYM realizes that: there is not a single Rav or Rebbetzin (“in our camp”, in your words), that will tell BYM that she may learn Gemara, even though it is not assur, simply because there is no Mesorah to do so.
I don’t have an opinion on this topic, really. This is an observation.
