Why should I use a Mohel instead of a doctor?

Frequently Asked Questions - Emoil.com/Emohel.com
The mohel is a super-specialist, an expert at his profession, who probably possesses more experience at performing circumcisions than most doctors. A mohel may have the opportunity to perform more brisses in a month than some doctors do in an entire year. Doctors may be called away on medical emergencies and have to cancel their participation in your child's circumcision at the last minute.

Who can be a Mohel?

What is A Bris Milah RITUAL Circumcision
The Mohel who performs the ritual circumcision is a person who has received specialized training in the medical and ritual aspects of the bris. The moment of the bris has a great spiritual effect upon the child and therefore Jewish law specifies that one should choose a Mohel who is noted not only for his technical skills but also for his level of piety. It has therefore been the tradition that a Rabbi, cantor, or spiritual leader will also serve the community as a Mohel.

How do I locate a Mohel?

Frequently Asked Questions - Emoil.com/Emohel.com
The best way is by word of mouth. You (or an eager future grandparent) may have attended a bris and taken the mohel's card. Or your obstetrician may have a referral. You can also call your rabbi or cantor for the name of a mohel. Most often, one family will pass the mohel's name on to the next, and so on.

How did you become a Mohel?

Frequently Asked Questions - Emoil.com/Emohel.com
I apprenticed to Rabbi Yosef Halperin, the Chief Mohel of Jerusalem in 1977. I studied the laws, participated in setting up the instruments, changed bandages, and by the end of my apprenticeship, performed a number of brisses, first under very close supervision and then "solo." Once Rabbi Halperin was satisfied with my abilities, he certified me. I am also certified by the New York Board of Rabbis Brith Milah Board.

Why should parents want or need to use a Mohel to perform a Bris?

MDmohel.com _____ Rabbi Avraham Rappaport, Certified Mohel _...
Traditionally, the parents engage a mohel to perform the Bris. A mohel is a person who is specially trained in the medical and surgical techniques of circumcision. In addition to being an expert in his field, the mohel is also an expert in the Jewish laws pertaining to Bris Milah. A doctor's medical circumcision, usually performed in the hospital within the first few days after birth, does not fulfill the requirements of a Bris Milah and is not considered valid according to Jewish law.

Why not use chlorine instead?

Water Filters, Purifiers, and Purification FAQ
Chlorine changes the tastes and odor of water. Chlorination can also produce harmful by-products called Trihalomethanes (THMs) which are linked to incidence of cancer. No, the UV unit will use about the same amount of energy as a 60 watt light bulb. It is a cost effective, natural way to increase water quality where microbiological contamination is present and to provide peace of mind where microbiological contamination is a greater risk.

Why do you use a DTD instead of a schema?

MusicXML FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
When we started developing MusicXML, a DTD (Document Type Definition) was the only official W3C recommendation for defining an XML document. Since that time, XML Schemas have become an official W3C recommendation, and alternative schema languages like RELAX NG have also become available. W3C XML Schemas offer many benefits when using XML in electronic commerce and business database applications. For musical documents, though, the advantages are less compelling.

Why do you use all these elements instead of attributes?

MusicXML FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
This is mainly a stylistic decision. Several XML books advise representing semantics in elements rather than attributes where possible. One advantage of doing this is that elements have structure, but attributes do not. If you find that what you are representing really has more than one part, you can create a hierarchical structure with an element. With attributes, you are limited to an unordered list.

What do you enjoy most about being a mohel?

Rabbi Zev Zions - Certified Mohel
I thank G-d that I am able to observe the most basic of Jewish traditions being observed by Jews all over. It's a beautiful and special event. The Gemara, or Talmud relates almost prophetically that the mitzvah of bris is one that is held onto throughout the generations. This is because the Jewish people have always practiced this special mitzvah even at the cost of putting their lives in danger. There are documented stories of people risking their lives to be able to give their child a bris.

Should I use ReaderWriterLock instead of Monitor.Enter/Exit?

Andy Mc's .NET Framework FAQ
Maybe, but be careful. ReaderWriterLock is used to allow multiple threads to read from a data source, while still granting exclusive access to a single writer thread. This makes sense for data access that is mostly read-only, but there are some caveats. First, ReaderWriterLock is relatively poor performing compared to Monitor.Enter/Exit, which offsets some of the benefits. Second, you need to be very sure that the data structures you are accessing fully support multithreaded read access.

Why should I use silk instead of cotton underclothes?

Some FAQ's regarding the DermaSilk product range
Whilst both fabrics are natural products, silk has the advantage over cotton as it is a protein fibre of animal origin rather than a vegetable fibre and has the ability to mimic human hair. The long strands of silk provide a smooth, friction free garment which will not irritate the skin, even on the most active toddler. In addition, DermaSilk is capable of maintaining a stable body temperature in whatever climate and absorbing up to 1/3 rd of its weight in moisture before it begins to feel damp.

Why should I not use ordinary silk underclothes instead of DermaSilk?

Some FAQ's regarding the DermaSilk product range
Conventional silk underclothes are made of tightly woven threads which do not allow for the free passage of air through their weave – rather like the material used in parachutes. DermaSilk uses a specially designed knitted construction with plenty of ventilation capacity. You can breathe through 48 layers of DermaSilk without too much effort. This is very important for eczema patients who need to maintain a stable temperature and moisture levels close to their skin.

When should I use a mono amplifier instead of a multichannel amplifier?

Amplifiers - FAQ
Because mono amps tend to be Class D amplifiers, they are a good choice for powering subwoofers — Class D amplifiers have a high power-to-heat ratio and excellent efficiency, which are exactly what you want when dealing with power-hungry low frequency signals. Most mono amplifiers are designed to run at 2 ohms; some are even 1-ohm stable. Multichannel amplifiers, on the other hand, are typically designed to work with a 4-ohm load.

Why Use an LED instead of an incandescent bulb?

An incandescent bulb is highly inefficient and requires 10 times more energy than an LED. The capacitor in NightStar can only power a filament light bulb for a few seconds. By comparison, the energy stored in a battery is great enough to power inefficient devices for several hours. However, when a battery's energy is depleted, it either has to be discarded or recharged. Rechargeable batteries require external and often costly charging devices.

Why would someone use it instead of minoxidil?

Raztec FAQ -Hairloss, hair loss, alopecia, bald, baldness
Crinagen is a hair preparation having natural substances as its active components. It is intended to offer users a natural alternative to the synthetic chemical treatments (such as minoxidil). Its expected effects are (a) that it will maintain present hair and (b) increase the growth phase to resting phase ratio of apparently inactive hair follicles - with the result that most users will see hair thickening and, in some cases, regrowth. Crinagen can be used with minoxidil.

What do I use instead of infinity for my Lab 1 implementation?

CS 241 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
In the Java implementation (in FastClosestPair.java) I've defined INF to be the maximum double possible which will work fine here since the maximum distance for the coordinate ranges you are given will always have a distance less than this quantity. For those using C++, I've already defined maxfloat as 400000.0 in the provided stdinc.h which is larger than the distance between any two points for the coordinate ranges that are used.
