"Haunting." "Powerful." "Wake-up call." Why do we keep seeing words like these recycled over and over in book reviews and on dust jackets? Whether it's because book sections are shrinking or some writers don't recognize a cliché, such overused terms often amount to spin or doubletalk.
Not long ago editor Marian Lizzi wrote that in publishing circles the phrase "labor of love" often means "the advance orders are disappointing." Inspired by her comment, I asked industry veterans to decode other euphemisms and to attach the hashtag #pubcode on Twitter. I collected 40 of their answers, and others poured in afterward. And if many responses were tongue-in-cheek, they also pointed to a truth. Novelist Mat Johnson was right, for example, when he said that "nominated for the Pulitzer" means only that a publisher paid the $50 entry fee, though the prize sponsor discourages such uses of the word.
Here are more explanations of terms that editors, publishers and critics use when describing books.
"affecting" = "I felt something. Could've been the book. Could've been my lunch." @jenniferweiner Jennifer Weiner, novelist (Then Came You) and television producer (State of Georgia)

"game-changer" = "the Betamax of print" @glossaria, librarian
"ground breaking romantic comedy" = "heroine hit by a car at the end. By a man." @PhillipaAshley Phillipa Ashley, novelist (Wish You Were Here and Fever Cure)
"haunting" = "Sat unfinished on my nightstand for months while I read other stuff." @saraeckel Sara Eckel, a freelance writer for the New York Times and other publications
"heartwarming" = "major character is a dog, an old guy, or both" @kathapollitt Katha Pollitt, poet and columnist for the Nation
"historical" novel = "American = dust, prairies & drab clothing; Italian = poison & plots; English = sex, beautiful clothes & beheadings." @JVNLA Jennifer Weltz, literary agent at Jean V. Naggar Literary Agency .
"Hemingwayesque" = "Hemingwayesque = short sentences. Faulkneresque = long sentences. Fitzgeraldesque = regret, longing, rich people." @arthurphillips Arthur Phillips, novelist (The Tragedy of Arthur)
"it grabs you by the throat and won't let go" = "it's gonna hurt" @hangingnoodles Jag Bhalla, author of I'm Not Hanging Noodles on Your Ears
"national besteller" = "made list in Buffalo & Fresno. International bestseller = made list in Irkutsk" @BloomsburyPress Peter Ginna, publisher, Bloomsbury Press

Decline in circumcisions could cost billions
As the number of American parents increasingly leave their baby boys uncircumcised, HIV and other sexually transmitted disease rates are likely to climb, according to researchers from Johns Hopkins University, and the costs associated with those diseases could reach into the billions.
"The medical benefits of male circumcision are quite clear," said Dr. Aaron Tobian, an assistant professor of pathology at Johns Hopkins and lead author of the study published Monday in the Archives of Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine. "But while the medical evidence has been increasingly more positive, male circumcision rates in the U.S. have been decreasing."
Specifically, he says, circumcision rates had been fairly stable in the 1970s, at about 79%. By 1999, he says less than 63% of boys had the procedure, and by 2010, the rate had dropped to 55%.
What's more, state-run and private insurance companies in at least 18 states have dropped coverage for male circumcision - a procedure that can cost between $250 and $300 without insurance coverage, causing even more parents to pass on the procedure for male infants.
Jews, Muslims slam German circumcision ruling as assault on religion
"If circumcision rates decrease to 10% - the levels seen in Europe where insurance coverage is limited - the direct medical costs associated with that drop could exceed $4 billion," said Tobian.
That added cost, he says, is largely from an increase in HIV infections and human papillomavirus (HPV)-related cancers he believes would result from the drop in circumcisions.
Should teens make circumcision decision?
"Three randomized trials have demonstrated that male circumcision decreases HIV, male herpes, and HPV - the virus that causes cervical and penile cancer," Tobian said. "As male circumcision rates increase, you decrease HIV acquisition among men. Later down the road, because fewer men are infected, you'd have less transmission."
As a result of this study, Tobian says he's calling on the American Academy of Pediatrics, other advocacy groups and insurance companies to pave the way for more circumcisions.
"We should eliminate all of the current barriers that are in the way of individuals receiving this procedure," he said. "Once we do that, families can discuss the risks and the benefits of having the procedure with their physicians, and then can make an informed decision."
Circumcising our son: How do we decide?
The debate over circumcision has been ongoing for years. Critics of the procedure maintain it is not medically necessary, carries the risk of complications and pain and that foreskins are a part of the natural body that help protect the penis.
The American Academy of Pediatrics is expected to release an updated position paper supporting the health benefits of male circumcision by the end of this month.

Rise for Refuge at Rep Debbie Dingell Town Hall
Rise for Refuge supporters are invited to attend the Town Hall being held by Rep. Debbie Dingell. Please RSVP for meetup information.
We are calling on Members of Congress to do everything in their power to end the administration's attacks on asylum seekers and return refugee resettlement to historic norms. The administration has already decimated the U.S. asylum system and refugee resettlement program. Zeroing out refugee resettlement would amount to a full refugee ban, with grave long-term implications.
As people who care about refugees - abroad and at our doorstep - we must make our voices heard. Join us in demanding that Congress stop the administration from ending asylum and refugee resettlement! We are demanding that Congress:
- Save the Life-saving Refugee Resettlement Program
- Stop the Asylum Ban and Protect Asylum Seekers
- Keep Families Together and End Child & Family Detention
- Cut Funding that Fuels Deportations, Detention, Border Militarization
- Protect Refugee and Immigrant Families from Prolonged Separation

The components can be made over several days and the whole thing put together the day you plan on serving it. From bottom to top:
-base of Ultimate Lemon Pound Cake
- lemon custard cream
- diced mangoes
- sour cream topping
- mango sorbet in spring roll wrapper tubes
Line the inside of an 8 inch round cake pan with plastic wrap. Do not worry, it will not melt. Fill the pan with the custard and place it on deep sheet pan or roasting pan. Fill the larger pan with water and bake the custard in this water bath for 30 minutes or until set. Allow to cool and refrigerate.
Cut the custard using the 8 rings previously used for the cake slices. The custard should remain in the rings, place them on the sheet tray on top of the cake rounds. I did this tricky move by using a spatula, sliding it under the tubes, lifting them carefully with my hand and quickly setting them on the cake rounds.
Combine the creme fraiche with the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar. Carefully spoon it into the rings and smooth the tops. Place in the refrigerator.
Slide them off the tubes and let cool completely.

I often have people ask me, "How do you get so much done?" including my mom and my new friend Vicki (waving to you Vicki!) a couple Saturdays ago when I was working at American Quilting. So today I will try to answer that question somewhat – and while I can't promise world peace or total enlightenment, hopefully I can end some blogging-guilt-complexes in the process
First of all here is what my sewing space looked like a few days ago. Pretty scary. (I still can't believe I'm publicly humiliating myself like this.) The towel on the stained, burned and ripped ironing board cover is for the iron that started leaking. I have at least four different projects in process in this picture, not to mention the disorderly piles of fabric for a few more. And then there's a piece of ric rac hanging from the blinds (?). Fortunately you can't really see how badly the carpet needed to be vacuumed.
(To my own credit, yesterday I did take about half an hour to get things looking a lot better. I should probably take another picture to redeem myself a little.)
Blogs and magazines and beautiful sewing and pattern books create this impression that everything looks wonderful, the cutting mat is always cleared and ready for a new project, there are no pins on the floor and all fabric is neatly folded. I'm sure for a lot of people, crafting is like that. I'm just not one of those people.
So I don't want to add to the misrepresentation that things around here are always perfect and I wile away my hours churning out quilts. Often I am moving junk out of the way before I take a picture for my blog and most of the time I have worked on something for weeks before it ever surfaces on the blog.
|during the Hoops photo shoot
For me, my hobby is sandwiched in between the needs of four kids, a husband with plenty of demands on his time, house, church responsibilities, car pools etc. I'm not complaining about any of those things – I'm grateful for all of them. But it often means I sew at snatched, random moments and it's not very orderly.
All that said, here's how I do what I do:
- My kids are at great ages right now – I don't have infants or teenagers, so that frees me up a little especially during some school days. My youngest is pretty easy going and he likes just hanging out with me so I can even get some done while he's around. And he doesn't try to sit on my sewing machine peddle as often as he used to.
- I'm a total homebody – I don't even like going shopping – it's a necessary evil to me. I could keep myself entertained for hours at home and never get bored.
- I can handle mess. I have friends whose homes I love to go to because they are always beautiful and spotless. Always. (Nothing wrong with that!) But they often admit to me that they wish they could accomplish what I do with my sewing hobby and acknowledge that it's hard for them to start a project and let the house slide a little, or to live with the mess that creativity sometimes brings. So, I don't know whether it's a blessing or a curse, but I can handle my house in it's imperfect state while I do other things. Not forever, mind you, and total chaos can really kill any creativity. But I can look at the perler beads or scraps of cut snowflakes on the floor in the middle of the afternoon and not let them bug me, knowing I'll do a full clean-up that night. (However, this doesn't mean that I don't get embarrassed when someone comes to my house and I have to kick random shoes and toys out of the way so they can walk into a room.)
- I have a place where I can leave out my creative mess, shut the door, walk away and return the next day to pick-up where I left off. I know that not everyone has that option. My space is in a room that is half storage room in my basement. It's not totally convenient and in the summer my machine and one current project usually migrate to the kitchen so I can be where the action is, but having that place where I can leave a little of my mess undisturbed is helpful. I feel lucky because I know that's not always feasible for everyone.
- I like having something to show for my time. The dishes will always need to be redone, and beds will always need to be remade, and clothes constantly need to be washed. So I like to invest even just a small portion of my time each day on something that will stay finished. It's healthy for my psyche. I know that my kids are my most important creation and that the time invested in them is never a waste. But it's nice to have some short term accomplishments as well. That, and fabric is always obedient. Well, most of the time.
- Sewing is my happy juice. Just doing a little bit each day makes me feel good about life. I feel lucky to have found something that I really enjoy doing.
- I rarely quilt my own quilts. I'm really lucky right now to have a great situation where I have coworkers who will do it for me at a really great price. And they will do a much nicer job than I could do. And, the quilting part of making quilts seriously dilutes the happy juice for me. I dread that part.
- I don't really watch TV. Occasionally I'll watch a movie (BBC Classics anyone?) on a little DVD player next to my sewing machine while I work. If I do watch something with my husband or family, I'm pretty much always working on a project – usually binding a quilt. I can't just sit still. Occasionally, for my husband's sake, I'll sit and just hold his hand while we watch a movie. It's a necessary sacrifice for me to make sometimes. 🙂
- And in the spirit of really keeping it real, I'll add this thought too: the days that I give a little bit of time to God by reading my scriptures and saying a prayer in the morning, I ALWAYS get more done. When I don't do those little things, I feel like I'm running around in circles and accomplish nothing. Take that for what it's worth to you, but I know it's true for me.
There are plenty of distractions out there that slow me down. Like getting into a good book – which is not necessarily a bad thing – (I need to get more books on tape). But don't get me started on the computer. I've had to set boundaries for myself and I often feel guilty for being slow answering emails or not responding to all comments, because I am so grateful for every one. I try to answer any specific questions that are asked, but I've found that it takes so much time to individually thank each commenter that it seriously cuts into the time available for anything else. So please, know how grateful I am for the wonderful feedback you give me. It means so much to me – I only wish I had more time to devote to responding.
So now that you know WAY more than you ever really wanted to, let me add one more thing. These are the things that work for ME. There are people in blog land that I admire so much, but I'm coming to accept the fact that I will never be them, I can only be me and I have to function in a manner that works best for my personality, family, and hereditary quirks. Same goes for everyone else. So my only encouragement is to find a system that works for YOU and own it. 🙂 And NO feeling guilty about not doing it the way someone else does it.
The End.

A wise person once told me, "Find something you love to do and find someone to pay you to do it." But the reality is that many people find themselves in careers they don't enjoy or lose the career they did enjoy. Whether you are disatisfied with your career, dealing with work related stress, or wondering what you are going to do next, counseling can provide a framework for you to work through the dissonance in your work life and get on the path of meaningful fulfillment with regards to your work or career, regardless of what stage in your life you are at.

Our careers make up a major part of our life. Careers can be pivotal for creating happiness in life or creating the opposite. In earlier days, people found their first job after high school or college and stayed in that job for the rest of their life. In past decades, the "one job for life" has evolved into six to ten job changing and career changing episodes. Every job change and career change often leads to anxiety, depression, fears, interview panic, lack of self-esteem, lack of self-confidence, somatic reactions and a devastating feeling that includes a lack of self-worth. Being fired and being hired revolve around rejection and the strive to be accepted. Career counseling works to make the above issues more tolerable and rational.

Bruce Springsteen Gift Guide for Black Friday and beyond
If you're anything like me, right about now you're so stuffed with gravy that the thought of heading out for a Black Friday shopping spree is about as appealing as … well, anything other than just continuing to sit here, watching football with your belt undone. But gifts must be got at some point, and if there's a Springsteen fan on your list, you could do a lot worse than any of the items listed below:
Bruce Springsteen hasn't released anything new since Wrecking Ball, so you may want to grab a copy of Long Distance Salvation, the Nebraska tribute album featuring acts like Joe Pug, Spirit Family Reunion, David Wax and Kingsley Flood. (Read our review here.) For 15 bucks you get the limited-edition colored vinyl, mp3 download and, since all proceeds benefit Project Bread, a warm, fuzzy feeling inside. Five bucks will get you just the mp3, if vinyl isn't your bag. And for another option, there's also Nils Lofgren's exquisite recent disc, Old School — which, given the title, would be appropriately purchased on vinyl.
No Springsteen fan worth his or her salt would be caught without Bruce, the much-heralded new bio from Peter Ames Carlin (review here) — that's a no-brainer this holiday season for the Bruce Tramp on your list, if they don't have it already. But there are plenty of other Bruce book options, including Marc Dolan's Bruce Springsteen and the Promise of Rock 'n' Roll (review here), which features some hearty analysis of the various phases of Springsteen's career; Springsteen FAQ by John D. Luerssen, a veritable Springsteen encyclopedia that covers his life and career in short, digestable chunks (much like your Thanksgiving dinner); Streets of Fire, featuring stunning photos by Eric Meola circa 1977-1979; and The Light in Darkness, Lawrence Kirsch's collection of fan tributes to the Darkness era, which only has a few copies left available in its limited run. And we of course recommend our very own Glory Days: Springsteen's Greatest Albums — granted it's hard to wrap because it's an eBook, but you can always get it as a $2.99 treat yourself.
You can't go wrong with a Springsteen painting. Or maybe you can. But we prefer photographic imagery for our walls, and Wolfgang's Vault is having a 25 percent off special this weekend only on fine art rock prints, including several Springsteen classics. If those prices are a bit steep for your pocketbook even with the discount, visit roccosphototavern.com, featuring some of the best Springsteen concert shots this side of the Mississippi.
At $600-$700, a '50s-era Fender Telecaster guitar like Bruce's most famous axe might be a bit pricey unless you really, really like the person. But if you only kind of like the person, for $37 you can pick him or her up a Hohner 1896 Marine Band Harmonica like the one Springsteen's been known to pull out of his back pocket from time to time.
Nothing above striking your fancy? As a last resort, there's always an eBay search, which never fails to turn up something interesting. Just don't blame us if you get kicked out of your Yankee Swap.

In 2007, software developer Laurent Sansonetti launched an open source software project called MacRuby. It aimed to build a Ruby interpreter on top of the Objective-C runtime, providing a seamless bridge between Ruby and OS X "Cocoa" ecosystem—and it succeeded. Now Sansonetti hopes to do something similar for iOS.
Sansonetti recently left his job at Apple-where he has worked for the past seven years-to found his own startup, dubbed HipByte. He announced his first product today, a new software development kit called RubyMotion that will open the door for developers to build native iOS applications with the Ruby programming language.
I've been testing RubyMotion since March, when Sansonetti gave me access to a private beta release. In this article, I'll give you an exclusive hands-on introduction to RubyMotion and describe how it can be used to build software for iOS. The article includes the full source code of a simple iOS demo application I created that displays the top stories from reddit.
RubyMotion is built on top of the same underlying Objective-C Ruby implementation that powers MacRuby, but it uses a new LLVM-based static compiler to convert Ruby code into tightly-optimized machine code. The RubyMotion compiler produces extremely efficient native applications that aren't dogged by the performance limits and resource overhead that typically afflict Ruby code.
Mobile applications built with RubyMotion run just as fast as equivalent Objective-C applications and use a comparable amount of hardware resources during execution. RubyMotion applications also conform with Apple's App Store requirements. According to Sansonetti, some RubyMotion applications have already been accepted into the App Store after passing the review process.
The standard iOS APIs are available in RubyMotion applications, which means that all capabilities available to Objective-C developers on the iOS platform are also available to Ruby developers. Likewise, RubyMotion apps can match the look and feel of the rest of the platform because their user interfaces are built with the same standard UIKit widget set.
Developing software with RubyMotion
Instead of tying RubyMotion into Apple's IDE, Sansonetti provides a command-line tool set that supports a more traditional Ruby development workflow. A
motion command will generate a new project from a template, and the generated project stub will include an
app folder for implementation code and a resource folder for graphical assets and other resources. Any
.rb file that you put in the
app folder will automatically get compiled into the finished application. You don't use the
require keyword at all in RubyMotion.
RubyMotion's build process relies on the Rake tool, which should be familiar to most Ruby programmers. Build options are used to specify which frameworks to include, and to manage other aspects of application configuration. When you run
rake from the command-line, it will compile your application and then execute it in the iOS simulator.
The terminal where you ran rake will give you a REPL that lets you use Ruby expressions to interactively manipulate your RubyMotion application while it is running. The ability to make live changes to widget properties and internal application data structures at runtime is extremely useful for testing and troubleshooting issues in an application.
Testing an application in the simulator also works well. You can use build targets with Rake to deploy your application to a device or to generate an
ipa package for distribution in the App Store. Due to code signing restrictions, you will need to be an Apple Developer Program subscriber in order to test your RubyMotion applications on an actual physical device.
When I tested RubyMotion on a 2011 MacBook Air, it took roughly five seconds to compile my simple reddit demo and launch it in the simulator. The compilation time isn't too bad, but it can feel like a bit of a nuisance for Ruby developers who aren't used to waiting between changes. In addition to the compiler, RubyMotion also comes with a standalone
ruby command that can execute headless scripts in a RubyMotion environment.
The RubyMotion development workflow is comfortable. I write code in Vim and keep a terminal window open for running Rake when I need to test. The one downside—and it's significant—to avoiding Xcode is that developers who use RubyMotion will have to code their user interfaces by hand instead of using visual layout tools. This is especially problematic for developers who are new to iOS because constructing the user interfaces in code requires substantial knowledge of the UIKit APIs.
Sansonetti speaks
I raised the Xcode issue when I discussed RubyMotion with Sansonetti. He said that Xcode integration will eventually be implemented, but it's not on the short-term roadmap.
Instead, he is building a set of Ruby libraries for programmatically defining iOS user interface layouts. These libraries will wrap the iOS UIKit APIs with high-level constructs that are more comfortable to use. The approach is similar to that used by the HotCocoa library for MacRuby, but with a higher level of abstraction.
"We are focusing on a set of high-level Ruby gems for RubyMotion. One of them is a thin layer on top of UIKit," Sansonetti told me. "We chose to implement the layout system with a domain-specific language that works a bit like CSS, so Ruby developers should feel at home. Our idea is similar to Cocoa's auto layout, which is based on an ASCII-like language, except that we can do better in Ruby. We believe that this is much better way of building UI than Interface Builder, since you can visually represent the UI in code."
Instead of bundling those libraries with RubyMotion, he intends to publish them on GitHub under a permissive license. He thinks that RubyMotion adopters will start creating their own abstraction libraries with a variety of different styles. Application developers will have the option of using his or choosing third-party wrapper libraries if they prefer.
I asked Sansonetti about his relationship with the MacRuby project, which he started as an open source effort while at Apple, and how it will evolve now that he is focused on building RubyMotion. He explained that his desire to continue working on MacRuby was one of the factors that motivated him to leave Apple and launch his own company.
"As a senior engineer on the Core OS team at Apple, I created and led the MacRuby project, however, MacRuby was only one part of my responsibilities," he said. "As MacRuby was stable enough, it became clear that I would have to stop working on it. I didn't want to leave the project and its amazing community, so I thought about it for quite some time and realized that creating a startup around RubyMotion would be the best thing to do; I would keep working on MacRuby and eventually make a living out of it."
Although he temporarily stopped participating in MacRuby development during a six month transitional period after leaving Apple, he's diving back into the project again and doesn't intend to stop contributing. He is currently the only employee of his new company, but he intends to grow the team and "hire a couple MacRuby contributors later this year."
Building RubyMotion by himself was a major technical undertaking. We asked him to describe some of the most difficult tasks that he encountered during development.
"The biggest challenges were the implementation of the static compiler and memory model, which are brand new in RubyMotion," he told us. "Handling the ARM ABI and the device protocol was also quite challenging. And it took a lot of time to get the runtime performing well on the device."
Sansonetti also offered some insight into how Ruby's expressiveness and flexibility might improve developer productivity.
"One of the most important features is definitely the interactive environment that Rubyists take for granted but which is sadly missing on other platforms. Having the ability to try things out in real time is extremely useful when iterating or debugging an app," he said. "Ruby is also a very concise and expressive language. An iOS app written in Ruby will contain significantly less lines of code than a comparable app written in Objective-C. Less code means a faster development cycle, less bugs, easier maintenance and therefore more time to play Skyrim."

*** gorlech are Claire and Paul, woodcrafters based in rural West Wales – if you would like to know a little bit more about us or how we make our products, check out our YouTube channel
The hooks are made from hand-bent traditional 'Brad' ('cut clasp') nails – these are the nails that were traditionally used when laying pine floorboards. Strength wise we are very confident that they will hold most things that you are likely to want to hang from them. When we make them we drill a suitable pilot hole to a depth just short of the plaque depth, this ensures that the nail is in as far as it can go.

Where an item is intended for food use, we use 'Tung Oil' (which is safe for this purpose and doesn't leave an unpleasant taste which could contaminate food). Items with evidence of woodworm have been appropriately treated.
Our candle / tealight / incense holders are designed for use by responsible adults only – never leave a naked flame unattended.

Wrap your burlap around the wreath. I put a strip of hot glue every once in a while to make sure it would stay in place.
The next step is to loosely twist the burlap and start wrapping it around the wreath.
After I was done I made sure all the twists are to my liking and then put dots of glue under to hold. I don't think it's necessary so you can skip that step in you choose. I then put a dot of glue on the wreath and tucked in the end of the burlap.
There are a bunch of different ways to make the rosettes. I've tried out a few. I saw the style I have been using online somewhere but I can't find where. If it looks familiar let me know and I'll link it to you. Cut a strip of burlap about 3 inches wide
Fold the end in half.
Fold the end in half again.
Roll the end a few times until it looks like this...
Twist the burlap and start wrapping it around the roll.
Put some hot glue on an extra piece of burlap.
Put the rosette on the hot glue and tuck the end in. I always burn myself on this step. It never fails.
Cut around your rosette...
The back will look something like this...
To make the other style burlap flowers. Follow THIS tutorial. (Instead of an ornament shape I traced circles on a thin piece of chipboard and cut them out.) I made 3 flowers of each style and then hot glued them to my wreath.
Your finished!! I don't know what it is but when you make something yourself it looks 10x better than buying it at the store.
For those who don't care to make a burlap wreath but want one I will be selling them in my etsy store.
Don't forget to enter in the giveaway. Have a happy Monday!!!

Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors MLCC - SMD/SMT 1206 0.1uF 100volts C0G +/-5% 1.60mm
Risk Rank is a proprietary algorithm Supplyframe has developed to quantify component risk using multiple data points. This ranking helps engineers and buyers determine whether alternates should be sought for parts that are deemed as high risk.
Risk Rank is determined by a combination of factors such as product lifecycle status, price & inventory volatility, current inventory availability and much more. Even the availability of manufacturer specifications, part documentation such as datasheets and reference designs have an impact on determining the overall riskiness of a part.
The risk is characterized across three product phases:
We focus on the Design Phase on Component Search Engine in our evaluation of Risk.
Design Phase
The design phase of a product is at the beginning of the product lifecycle. This is when engineers are doing analysis of components in the marketplace, determining which specifications are most important for their design and assessing the cost impact of using this particular component. While this is early in the product lifecycle, choices at this point can severely impact a product much later on when the product is being made. Additionally, this stage is the one furthest from a product being made, which is why we focus on metrics of stability over time when determining Design Risk.

What our students and parents say about us!
Saiyam is using EduSaksham online courses from past one year. He is able to complete his tutorials, worksheets, and assignments on his own. Once he is done with worksheets, he can check his answers and if he has done any mistakes, then he can check the correct answers and explanations. They have been given so well that he is able to understand them himself and rarely he asks us for any clarification. He enjoys using the platform and has learned and improved a lot in Mathematics. I would recommend EduSaksham to all parents who want their kids to learn in a structured way and also enjoy the learning process.
Neeraj (Saiyam's Father)
I would like to thank Edusaksham on behalf of my son Aditya who attended " Math Olympiad crash course for 5 weeks". As per Aditya, this course helped him to understand new topics like Roman numerals and decimal places which were not taught in his school till date and had a better understanding of other topics. I personally thank EduSaksham for all the help and support.
Geeta Bansal (Aditya's Mother)
We had a good experience with EduSaksham. Because sheets are available online, Vedant enjoyed doing more and more sheets without any reminders. I could leave him on his own as he was very much motivated to cover the topics. Practice is very important in maths but it becomes difficult for us to prepare sheets, I am glad we found EduSaksham where in a lot of in a lot of sheets are available for practice and the quality of questions are also good. As it's a venture from IITians we could think of giving it a try and I am glad we tried
Shikha Chowdhary (Vedant's Mother)
I have grown up in a family where my father used to give me practice maths paper every day which I need to finish before I go to play. I think that strong foundation of solving new questions every day helped me to clear my IITJEE exam. But as working women, I always had time challenge to create practice Math papers for my daughter. Thanks to EduSaksham, their questions are so logical and conceptual that I don't feel the guilt of not creating practice questions by myself :). There are plenty of worksheet along with the tutorials for each chapter. It has made parents life easier :) And the best part is my daughter loves doing it. Thank you EduSaksham.

text: The Ultimate Road-Trip Ready Guide May 20, 2021 Few things are as synonymous with summer as a road trip! When the weather warms up and you're able to escape the daily grind for a few days to experience the open road, it's a great feeling! But there's nothing that can bring your road trip fun to a screeching halt like an unexpected car problem. Avoid getting sidelined on a steamy highway during your trip by giving your vehicle a thorough inspection to ensure everything is in working condition. Read on for our list of 10 can't-miss checkpoints before you plan a road trip: Your Timing Once you've planned how long your road trip is going to take, make sure you have a plan in place for while you're gone. Unattended homes can be a target for thieves. Make sure you've made arrangements to have your mail held and for someone to keep an eye on your property while you're out road-tripping this summer. Home Security Tips for Summer Travels Your Tires When planning a road trip, you have to start with the basics, and tire maintenance is as basic (and essential!) as it gets. A good tire inspection will begin with looking at the condition of each tire. Is there uneven tire wear? Are there any bulges or tears in the side walls? Is the tread worn down? You can conduct a simple tread test by sticking a quarter head-first in the groove. If the top of Washington's head is visible, then you need new tires. If you suspect uneven tire wear it may be time to balance or rotate your tires, or possibly have an alignment service. Your Brakes If you notice any change in the behavior of your brakes—such as squeaking, requiring more pressure, or vibrating—then it is time for replacement. Your local auto professional can also service your brake fluids if they need to be flushed out and replaced with fresh fluid so your vehicle will be road-trip-ready. Your Fluids In addition to replacing your brake fluids from time to time, ensure that all your other fluids are topped off. Everything from oil, to antifreeze, to windshield washer fluid can get low in your car and should be prioritized as one of the first tasks your cross off from your car maintenance inspection checklist. The Battery Did you know that hot weather can shorten a battery's life? A professional can check the strength of your battery and its ability to remain charged. You also need to ensure the terminals are free of dirt and corrosion. A little baking soda and water can clean them up. Your Filters Oxygen is just as important to your car as it is to you. Make certain that your air, engine, fuel, and oil filters are clean before a long trip. You'd get overheated, too, if you were running with a mouth full of cotton. The Oil The frequency of required oil changes varies from car to car, but is often around 5,000 miles in newer cars (hybrids excluded). Check your owner's manual for the recommended frequency and always keep an eye on the dated sticker in your windshield that tells you when you will need your next service. Your Packing When all your maintenance checks are complete, you're ready to begin packing the back. Keep the center of gravity in your car low by placing the heaviest items on the bottom of your pile and pushing them toward the middle of your vehicle. Also, if you're traveling in a vehicle with an open back end (such as a van or SUV), make sure the lighter items on top are secured so they don't fly forward in a sudden stop. Your Apps If you're planning a road trip, you'll also want to take a look at the latest offering of road trip apps. You'll have loads of road trip essentials right at your fingertips with apps like: Waze: This crowd-sourced traffic app lets users report road hazards, speed traps, and more, along with guided, turn-by-turn navigation. Available for Adroid, iOs: free. Tollsmart: When you're trying to budget for a road trip, don't forget toll roads! Tollsmart lets you look up the price of toll bridges, roads and tunnels along your route. Available for Android, iOs Roadtrippers: If you're on the road and looking for a roadside attraction or other point of interest, you'll want to check out the Roadtrippers app. Plan your stops into a trip plan that you can sync across multiple devices. Available for Android, iOs: free. Spotify: What's a road trip without tunes? Curate the ultimate road-tripping playlist with this app! Available for Android, iOs: free. Your Insurance Being prepared for your upcoming road trip also means having the proper insurance in place. Schedule a meeting with your agent before your trip to ensure your coverages are keeping up.

Family Time: Tips for keeping children safe on the roads
Tip of the Week
When it comes to keeping young walkers safe on America's roads, the country has made great strides: child pedestrian deaths have plunged 53 percent and injuries are down 44 percent since 1995, according to a study by Safe Kids Worldwide and FedEx. Still, the study also indicates that bigger steps are needed to improve pedestrian safety overall, and particularly for teenagers.
Daily, more than 61 children seek medical attention for injuries sustained while walking, and more than 500 children die every year in pedestrian accidents. Teenagers between the ages of 14 and 19 are now the most at-risk age group, accounting for 50 percent of child pedestrian injuries in the past five years. The death rate among teens is now twice that of younger children.
"The study, 'Walking Safely: A Report to the Nation,' tells us two things," says Kate Carr, president and CEO of Safe Kids Worldwide. "While our focus on younger kids, through programs such as 'Walk this Way,' has made a tremendous difference, we need to turn the spotlight - and our collective efforts - on this disturbing trend impacting our teenagers."
Safe Kids Worldwide and FedEx offer some tips for helping make child pedestrians safer.
- Whenever possible, cross the street at the corners, using traffic signals and crosswalks. Most walking injuries happen mid-block or someplace other than at intersections.
- Look left, right and left again before crossing the street. Keep looking and listening while crossing.
- Walk, don't run, when crossing the street.
- Walking on sidewalks or paths is always best, but if not available, walk facing traffic as far to the left as possible.
- Remove headphones when crossing the street. It's important to minimize distractions and listen to what's going on around you.
- If you need to use your phone, stop walking.
- Drivers are more distracted than ever, so try to make eye contact with drivers before you step into the road.

"Wreck-It Ralph"
Rated: PG
Length: 108 minutes
Review: "Wreck-It Ralph" could easily be called "Video Game Story." Why? In Pixar's "Toy Story," toys come to life when humans aren't around. In Walt Disney's "Wreck-It Ralph," video game characters come to life when humans aren't around. Here, Disney tries its best to capture the Pixar magic, and while "Ralph" is no "Toy Story," it doesn't scrimp on the entertainment value. It's like a really good hamburger. Very satisfying, yet Pixar is still filet mignon. – Bob Tremblay, GHNS

Now she's the target of Death's ravens and an innocent boy's life is on the line.

Fewer stoners in the joint than you'd guess
Because police spend so much time dealing with drug-related offenses and because marijuana is the most-used illegal drug, it would seem to follow that a pretty good chunk of the inmates in the Winnebago County Jail would be in there for pot-related crimes.
So not true.
It's a bit less than 10 percent, Andrea Tack, jail superintendent for the Winnebago County Sheriff's Department, told me on Tuesday.
Just five people were in the jail on cannabis-only charges that day, she said, and 81 were there on cannabis and other charges.
The jail's average daily census last year was 953. That means that fewer than 1 percent were jailed for weed-only offenses, and 9 percent for pot and other violations.
I'm not the only one who is surprised at the percentage.
"It's a common misconception," said Dominic Iasparro, deputy chief of the Winnebago County Sheriff's Police.
"There has been a perception that we target users of marijuana," Iasparro said. "To say law enforcement targets people for small amounts, it's simply not true.
"Our focus is on dealers ... going after those involved in the sale of large amounts and the heavy drugs."
Weed smokers who are caught with a few joints often are forgiven for the crime, which is dismissed in favor of going after more serious charges or cleared to give someone with a clean record another chance.
The local percentage of those incarcerated on marijuana charges is a bit lower than in state and federal prisons, according to the most recent data available from the U.S. Department of Justice. In 2004, the agency said 12.7 percent of state inmates and 12.4 percent of federal inmates were imprisoned for marijuana offenses.
It's understandable that especially the federal rate would be higher, said Ali Nagib, assistant director of Illinois NORML, whose mission is to move public opinion to legalize the responsible use of marijuana by adults. "The feds are not dealing with simple possession," he said.
Where the rub comes in, he said, is that some of "these are people getting a decade for nonviolent crimes, in contrast to murderers."
Nagib said a "substantial portion - if not a majority - of the underground (marijuana operations) are not dealing in weapons. ... They are small operations in their homes, or people bring it in from other states."
Colorado and Washington are the only states where recreational marijuana use is legal, but 20 states allow its use for certain medical conditions.
Marijuana is the most commonly used illicit drug, according to the 2010 National Survey on Drug Use and Health. Pot was used by 77 percent of illicit drug users - those who had used the drug at some time in the 30 days before the survey - and was the only drug used by 60 percent of them.
Rockford Ald. Karen Elyea, D-11, said many pot-growers are easy pickings for police. "They're low-hanging fruit," she said. "We need to go after real criminals who are harming our society."
She said she soon may ask that the Rockford City Council consider fining those caught with a small amount of marijuana rather than treating the offense as it is now, a misdemeanor. "I think the tide is turning enough to be able to speak on it," she said.
A Gallup poll in 2013 showed that for the first time, a clear majority of Americans - 58 percent - said the drug should be legalized, compared with 12 percent in 1969. Nagib of NORML said 15 of the 20 largest cities in Illinois "already have decriminalization on the books."
But Rockford Ald. Frank Beach, R-10, said he personally has a concern about the "effect of it long range. If it gets out of hand, if it will have major effects on the health of our people.
"I need to have more information, to look at the whole thing and see what it means."

Vendor Warranty Terms: None
The nearly-indestructible and masculine nature of stainless steel is appealing for many jewelry styles. It has a similar appearance to platinum and polishes to a glistening sheen. Any scratches that may occur from day to day wear can be easily buffed away without endangering the piece. Unlike traditional gold, silver or platinum jewelry, stainless steel jewelry is not poured into molds, but is usually hand-cut from a solid piece of steel, leaving no seams or weak spots. With stainless steel, your jewelry will last a lifetime.
Stainless steel was first recognized in France in 1821 by metallurgist Pierre Berthier. He realized the iron-chromium alloys maintained resistance from acids and recommended their use in cutlery. After several corrosion-resistance related discoveries and patents in Europe and the United States, Harry Brearley in England discovered a modern blend of stainless steel alloy. When it was announced by The New York Times in January of 1915, he was officially credited with the invention of this impressive modern metal.
Created or Simulated Gemstones: How are created or simulated gemstones different from natural gemstones? Natural gems are created by the forces of nature and must be discovered, usually by digging in the ground or sifting through a riverbed. When these stones are created in a laboratory, they are called created, simulated or synthetic gemstones.
The purpose of creating gemstones in a laboratory isn't necessarily to reduce the cost, but also to produce larger, more perfectly consistent stones. Created or simulated gems can be made of any material. Synthetic gems, however, share virtually all chemical, optical and physical characteristics of their natural mineral counterparts.
Austrian Crystals: These are known for their excellent reflective quality and prismatic brilliance. This man-made crystal is created using natural minerals and quartz sand, which are then heated and slowly cooled using a process similar to that of creating hand-blown glass. This process creates an end product that can be fashioned into a beautiful crystal.
A special machine is used to create a highly faceted crystal. The crystals are cut in various directions, which allows for excellent light refraction, exceptional brilliance and unsurpassed color quality at an affordable price.
Today Swarovski® is one of the largest suppliers of high-end crystals. In the late 1800s, Daniel Swarovski invented a machine to cut crystal with extreme precision. He patented his technique and to this day, only select Swarovski family members and employees have unrestricted access to the production facility that creates these crystals. They are used to decorate everything from stilettos and sculptures, to chandeliers, jewelry and clothing.
Earring Back Types
Butterfly Back: A double looped piece resembling a butterfly that fits over a post. Variations on this design are called push back clasps. The basic post and butterfly back are usually used for stud earrings and lighter weight drop earrings.
Hinged Snap Backs: This clasp features a hinged post that snaps into a groove on the back of the earring. It is commonly found on hoops. Sometimes the hinged post is curved to provide more room to fit around the ear, sometimes called a saddleback.
Hook Backs: This earring backing is simply a long, bent post that fits through the piercing. Hooks have several variations, most notably the shepherd's hook and the French hook. While thin wire hooks reduce the weight of long earrings, making them more comfortable, they aren't as secure as other clasp styles.
Lever Back: A hinged lever snaps shut against the curved post to form a closed loop around the ear lobe. This clasp is very secure and good for large or medium sized styles that drop just below the ear.
Omega: Also called French clips, this clasp has a straight post and a looped lever. The hinged lever closes around the post and is held against the ear with pressure. The omega clasp is the most secure clasp, especially for the larger, heavier earrings.
Screw back: This backing is a slight variation of the standard post and butterfly nut back. Instead of pushing on the back, the nut twists onto the threaded post. A screw back post design is often preferred for expensive diamond stud earrings that require increased security.

Visit your amazing roadside attractions — lest they disappear
You know the story, how people will travel thousands of miles to see the Grand Canyon or Yellowstone, but don't take advantage of the amazing roadside attractions in their own backyards, then express profound regrets when they disappear.
I admit it. I'm guilty, too. I missed my senior class trip to Riverview Park in Chicago. The next year, the famous amusement park at Western and Belmont was gone.
For all the years "The Time Museum" was here at the Clock Tower Resort, I never toured it. Oh, I knew that the now-late gazillionaire Seth G. Atwood had amassed an amazing, historically important collection of time pieces from around the world. It was just that whenever I was headed to the Clock Tower, I was working. Either I was playing in a band for a wedding reception, class reunion or New Year's Eve party, or I was there to cover a news conference or civic banquet for the newspaper. I never made time to visit the Time Museum.
Now the clocks are gone. We tell time by "hand held electronic devices" and I regret that I never bothered to stop and take time to watch the clocks run.
I still wonder: Did they all chime at once, and if so, what the heck did that cacophony sound like?
At least I didn't miss out on the delightful riverboat luncheon cruise on the Rock River — yes, our very own Rock River — on the Pride of Oregon, the riverboat that until Sunday featured two-hour cruises from Maxson Manor, up the river from Oregon to near Byron and back.
Owner Rich Weisner, 66, has decided to pack it in and retire after two decades spending most of his time helming Maxson Restaurant/boat combination. So, last week featured the last run for the Pride of Oregon — for now, anyway.
I almost missed it. See, I've travelled hundreds of times up and down Illinois 2, or "the River Road," as my dad called it. He was born in 1907 and remembered when the dirt wagon path was first paved in the 1920s. It's one of the most scenic drives this side of Galena. And though I've often thought "I've got to ride on that boat " whenever I saw the paddle wheeler plying the river, I never did.
Until three weeks ago, that is. My wife and I thought that her 89-year old mother, who recently recovered from a broken leg, would enjoy the trip, and so I booked passage, as they say in the shipping business.
It was just two days later that I read on an Ogle County area website that the boat and restaurant were closing at the end of October. Whew! I'd made it with just three weeks to spare!
And I'm glad I did. The trees on the bluffs above the river were beginning to turn. The view of the statue we commonly call "Black Hawk," was spectacular at such close range. The luncheon was buffet-style, and tasty, too.
The cruise featured two entertainers who played banjo and guitar and sang folk and blues songs appropriate to traveling on a riverboat. Not quite like the late John Hartford, who in the 1990s sang on the Julia Belle Swain, a steamboat on the Illinois River out of Peoria, but close, really close.
This was a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon, and I would enthusiastically recommend it — if I could. I'm hopeful a new owner will buy the business and have it ready to go again in the spring of 2014.
I advise you to make a list of "amazing roadside attractions" in your area, and begin to visit them. Don't take anything for granted.
