Blogging seems to be fun to many but in the real sense it's not true. Bloggers indulge in so many online activities that they hardly get time to take the rest. None the less, now a days mobile phones, tablets keep up all then time hooked with internet & we hardly get that buffer time which we used to get back in time.
Productivity is not about working too many hours once in a while, but it's about continue performing every day of your life. If you are one of those bloggers (Like me) who love blogging & stay ahead of the game by learning, practicing, researching & writing, I'm sure you have had many burn out in the past.
For me, it used to be like, I couldn't work for a couple of days & just wanted to stick to my bed. It took me some time to realize what I was doing wrong & then I made few changes that made my life easier & blogging more fun.
Bloggers usually forget other work in their life like social activities, outing with friends, spending time with girlfriend, playing the outdoor games. These types of activities help us to make us more productive and creative.
How to Get Rid Of Your Blogging Stress
Bloggers can also face Writers block condition. Due to immense stress they tend to involve in various activities like smoking and drinking. They fall in lots of stress because of their online work, which would badly affect their life. Here are few tips with the help of which you can maintain a balance between your online and real life.
Exercise- Daily & religiously
A must be the necessary thing for bloggers. Regular exercise helps in circulating blood and making a body system like heart and circulatory system, respiratory system, digestive system stronger. Daily exercise results in stress-free mind.
You can also do Yoga: It makes the body more flexible and helps you relax in the stressful condition. You will feel energetic, happier and peaceful. The gym can be a part of your daily life, and it will be a good way to keep yourself in perfect shape. If you want to level up your game, get started with meditation. Here is a great guide on meditation with many free resources to download meditation music.
Time management
Many of blogging geeks find their work that much interesting such that they do it regularly. Their work is never affected by day-night cycle. They love to work late night and wake up at noon. This life cycle is dangerous for your body. And if your body will affect, your blogging too will affect. So maintain your schedule for the whole day and you should follow it regularly. Try to rise early and sleep early. Early to bed and early to rise theory is useful for any online entrepreneur.

Use coffee shops or Co-working space
If you are living in a metro city, then you must have coffee shops like Barista, Cafe Coffee Day in your locality. These coffee shops have the awesome environment (no disturbance, sofas, and air conditions) and have installed with Wi-Fi modem so that you can access the internet. You can pass some 2 to 3 hours there and write some awesome post directly from your iPhone or Android phone. You can also carry your laptop and work there from day and night. Nothing can be better than coffee and work.
Watch Ted talks or motivational videos:
Initially, I used to watch random stuff on YouTube, which hardly add anything to my life. Lately, I started watching Ted Talks & videos that directly help me learn or motivate. One thing that I could tell you is:
We have compiled a list of Ted Talks & Motivational movies that you can watch anytime you need a break.
- 21 carefully selected Ted Talk to motivate your inner core
- Top 15 motivational and inspirational movies for the entrepreneur.
- Real life hacks for young bloggers and entrepreneurs
Maintain your social life
Instead of social networking from your home you should find a time for your family and friend. Facebook, Twitter don't count as social life. They are good to find friends, but meeting your online friends is another aspect of it. You should enjoy a meeting with friends in a weekend and have a movie show, disco, and a dinner together. You can also share your blogging experience with your friends. This will drastically release your mental stress, and you will be mentally prepared for coming working days.
Up for some fun? Watch this eye-opening video:
Outdoor Games
If you are a cricket, soccer or basketball fan then instead of watching live score from your favorite sports website you should go to play a game regularly. It can be a part of your daily exercise. It can help you to maintain your social life because you are meeting real friends (not Twitter friends). Playing counter strike, COD are good but they don't fall under the category of sports. Sports means, the game that need physical involvement and it will also help to keep healthy. Outdoor gaming helps us to boost our mental and physical level. As mentioned above the importance of exercise, outdoor games will keep you fresh. If you are a geek and not very fond of the outdoor game, regular gymnasium and yoga can be very useful.
Another good way to maintain your social life as a blogger is participated in every bloggers event in your city or nearby city. This will be productive for you as a person and your work as contacts.
Do let us know how do you help yourself to get out of Blogging stress?

Notebook: Bombs Away
Jan. 21, 2010
By Amy Farnum
STILL PERFECT: Ithaca College claimed the team title at Lycoming's Budd Whitehill National Duals, culminating with a 25-11 victory over No. 7 TCNJ in the championship dual as the Bombers won the event for the second time in the last six years on Jan. 16.
The Bombers have won 19 consecutive dual matches dating back to last year - two shy of the school record - and set a school mark with its 16th victory of the year against the Lions. Ithaca also brought TCNJ's dual winning streak to an end at 19 straight as the Lions dropped to 14-1 on the season.
Junior Blaine Woszczak, the nation's top-ranked wrestler at 149 pounds, recorded two pins and a technical fall as he went 5-0 during the Duals. Woszczak is now 26-2 on the season (with a 14-0 mark in dual meets) with four falls and a team-leading six technical falls. Junior 174-pounder David Priest, ranked sixth nationally, also posted five wins (three by decision, one by major decision, one by fall). Priest improved his season record to 17-3 - with a 9-1 mark in dual meets.
The No. 4 Bombers return to the mat for the New York State Championships on Jan. 23-24.
RECORD NIGHT: North Central College's Gabe Youel became the school's all-time leader in wins with 144 as he sparked the No. 12 Cardinals to an upset of eighth-ranked Elmhurst, 25-14, on Jan. 20.
Youel, ranked third nationally at 184 pounds, pinned Mike McNeil in 1:10 for the milestone victory. The senior from Crystal Lake, Ill., is now 21-3 on the year.
The Cardinals are back in action at the Pete Willson-Wheaton Invitational on Jan. 29-30.
CLOSE ONE: Freshman heavyweight J.D. Zitone pulled out a clutch bonus-point victory as he lifted No. 5 Delaware Valley College to a narrow 23-21 win over Stevens Tech last weekend. The Aggies, who had just vaulted seven spots in the national rankings after a fourth-place showing at the National Duals, improved to 8-2 on the season.
Zitone pinned Brian Schmalz with 28 seconds remaining in the first period to seal the victory, improving his season record to 20-8. Head coach Brandon Totten gave the fresher Zitone nod in the heavyweight match over two-time All-American and No. 2 Kyle Bilquist, who was coming off a 3-2 win over McDaniel's No. 10 Brock Glofelty the previous night. The Aggies travel to the Messiah College Open on Jan. 23.
TAKE DOWNS: University of Dubuque's 165-pound senior Josh Terrell was named Iowa Conference Wrestler of the Week after sparking the No. 22 Spartans to a 22-20 upset of No. 10 Cornell College last weekend. The fourth-ranked Terrell improved his season mark to 13-4 ... Ohio Northern freshman Kyle Kwiat compiled a 7-0 mark last week, including a 6-0 record at the Budd Whitehill Duals, garnering Ohio Athletic Conference Wrestler of the Week honors. The 174-pounder had four pins and a major decision on the week, and then continued his streak with a pin of Muskingum's Jake Getto on Jan. 19. ONU downed Muskingum, 44-0, as it stayed perfect against OAC competition. Kwiat is one of three Polar Bear wrestlers that are 3-0 against league foes this season.

Big Day of Giving
Date and New Fundraising Platform
Announced for BIG Day of Giving 2017
Supporters of the nonprofit organizations that serve the capital region should mark their calendars: the Sacramento Region Community Foundation is excited to announce that next year's BIG Day of Giving will be held from midnight to midnight on Thursday, May 4!
"Each year, BIG Day of Giving is among the most exciting -- and inspiring -- days in our community, so we are already counting down the days to May 4," says Linda Beech Cutler, our chief executive.
During this year's BIG Day of Giving in early May, donors raised $7.1 million for 570 nonprofits throughout the region, exceeding the event's $6 million goal and generating $1.5 million more than the previous year, despite a technical outage that hindered similar events nationwide.
After that outage, we convened peer institutions across the country to hold the technology provider accountable and evaluate alternative firms. Following an extensive analysis, we elected to host next year's BIG Day of Giving on a platform designed by CiviCore, a developer with 15 years of experience managing high-volume giving day events, including some of the biggest in the country such as Colorado Gives Day which generated over $28 million last year. The CiviCore fundraising platform couples innovative and donor-friendly giving tools with robust backup and contingency systems, Cutler says.
"Local donors will give to the causes they love with ease and confidence during BIG Day of Giving 2017. Our community has generated over $16 million for local nonprofits since our first giving day four years ago, and we look forward to continuing to grow generosity in the Sacramento region on May 4, 2017 -- and for years to come," she says.
More than only a 24-hour fundraising challenge, BIG Day of Giving is a year-long capacity building program that helps local nonprofits hone their skills in marketing, social media, and board and donor engagement. Cutler encourages nonprofits interested in participating in next year's BIG Day of Giving to sign up for notifications about the program's upcoming registration period and training schedules on our website.
BIG Day of Giving is made possible by the Sacramento Region Community Foundation in collaboration with our numerous community partners and is a program of our Expanding Philanthropy and the Social Economy initiative, which aims to grow individual giving in the capital area. For more information about BIG Day of Giving, please visit our website or call (916) 921-7723.
For more information about the 2016 BIG Day of Giving -- including information about donations, donor survey information, and a timeline of the day's events -- please view the BIG Day of Giving 2016 Post-Event Report on our website.
Sacramento Region Community Foundation has been the trusted steward of charitable assets, a community catalyst for meaningful change and the advocate for shaping vital impact through philanthropy since 1983. As the center of philanthropy in the Sacramento region, the Foundation's mission is to transform our community through focused leadership and advocacy that inspire partnerships and expand giving.

While the process of learning to pray varies across different belief systems, an essential element is to honestly express your faith. This expression may occur through an internal dialog with a deity or through the repetition of accepted verses that form a core part of a belief system.Continue Reading
Some forms of faith combine rituals with prayers that take time to learn. For example, the five daily prayers in Islam combine the recitation of Koran verses with kneeling and bowing at specific times. Additionally, part of learning these prayers is gaining the knowledge of what time of day to pray and what purification preparations to make before prayer.
Similarly, many versions of the Christian faith prescribe prayers to be said at certain times or on certain occasions. The Catholic Ave Maria, or Hail Mary, is an example of this type of prayer; it generally combines recitation of the prayer with a ritual crossing. Other Christian faiths place an emphasis on each person finding a form of prayer that offers the greatest connection to God. Some faiths combine this personal prayer with acts of subordination to God, such as kneeling or the bowing of one's head.
Prayer in many forms of Buddhism requires the recitation of mantras, either from memory or by reading. A key step in learning this type of prayer is memorizing the mantras, and finding the correct rhythmic recitation is often as important as the words.Learn more about Religion

Global Array Instruments Market Holds the Key to the Future of Biotech
The global array instruments market was valued at US$0.87 bn in 2014. It will soon reach an overall value of US$1.12 bn by 2020, growing at an estimated CAGR of 4.30% from 2014. The global array instruments market, by itself, stands as one of the spearheading sectors of devices and medical solutions that could usher in the next generation of tools for the healthcare industry to use.

What Use have Microarrays had to Date?
What is commonly known as a biochip, is a DNA spot collective that is fixed on to a solid surface. The concept of a microarray was revealed by Tse Wen Chang in a 1983 scientific publication. The concept was soon materialized and thus began the microarray industry. The global microarray industry did not witness much growth until 1995, when a groundbreaking paper was published at the Stanford University by Ron Davis and Pat Brown Labs.
The function of this DNA chip is to extrapolate the expression levels of multiple genetic samples simultaneously. A typical microarray contains tens of thousands of probes on one surface and can therefore be used to perform multiple genetic tests in parallel. An alternative to flat surface chips are beads. Their DNA detection process is called expression analyzing, and is used to detect both DNA and RNA regardless of their translation into proteins. Some of the major techniques of today that make use of array instruments are genetic expression profiling, GeneID, comparative genomic hybridization, DamID, alternative splicing detection, cancer diagnostics, genomics, proteomics, agricultural biotech, and SNP detection.
The key reasoning behind the use of a microarray is time – having to create thousands of iterations of one test simultaneously can create a huge difference in the time taken to investigate the DNA samples given.
Where is the Global Array Instruments Market Headed?
The global array instruments market is currently experiencing a shift in focus. Its primary place of use till now was in R&D labs, but it is steadily moving towards a multitude of other utilities, such as sequencing, clinical diagnostics, and drug discoveries. The future of the global array instruments market will lie in its current fields as well as in drug response studies and disease diagnostics. These utilities are expected to boost the global array instruments market substantially. Other utilities that are currently being tried involve forensics, veterinary, biological warfare and defense, environmental sciences, and toxicogenomics.
How is the Global Array Instruments Market Getting There?
Simply enough, the microarrays industry is getting there the same way as other top-bracket industries have – through millions of dollars spent in research and development. For instance, North America is expected to up its spending on the global array instruments market to US$526.4 mn by 2020. Asia Pacific and Europe are expected to bring in quite a sea change in the global array instruments market by 2020 through major innovative capabilities.
How are the Major Companies Contributing?
Nearly 80% of the global array instruments market is taken up by Molecular Devices, Agilent Technologies, Illumina, Inc., and Affymetric, Inc. Other market players include Sigma Aldrich Corporation, ArrayJet Ltd., Thermo Fischer Scientific, and Bio-Rad Laboratories.
Browse Press Release of Array Instruments Market
The global array instruments market is also making forays into the fields of preventive and regenerative medicine, along with growing R&D conducted for various diseases that afflict the vital organs and the nervous system. Studies are also being conducted to research the use of glycan arrays. This shows that the global array instruments market is ready for the next generation of applications and has the strength to do so.

Effects of Cod Liver Oil and Chromium Picolinate Supplements on the Serum Traits, Egg Yolk Fatty Acids and Cholesterol Content in Laying Hens
Lien, Tu-Fa; Wu, Chaen-Ping; Lu, Jin-Jenn;
This study investigated the effects of cod liver oil and chromium picolinate on the serum traits and egg yolk fatty acids and cholesterol content in laying hens. One hundred 45-week old single comb white Leghorn laying hens were assigned randomly to four groups. These groups were: (1) control (soybean oil), (2) 1,000 ppb (
) chromium (organic form chromium picolinate) (Crpic), (3) 3% cod liver oil (CLO), and (4) 1,000 ppb chromium with 3% cod liver oil (CLO+Crpic). The experiment was conducted for 40 days. Results indicated that serum triacylglycerol (TG) and cholesterol contents in the CLO group and the serum glucose content in the Crpic group were significantly lower than those in the control group (p<0.05-0.01). The yolk cholesterol content in the CLO and Crpic groups were also lower than the control group (p<0.01). The lipoprotein profile displayed that in the Crpic group, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) were significantly higher (P<0.05) than the control group. Meanwhile, low-density lipoprotein+very low-density lipoprotein (LDL+VLDL) and LDL-C+VLDL-C were significantly lower (p<0.05) than the control group. Notably, of all four groups, the CLO group displayed a more profound effect on serum traits and lipoprotein (p<0.05-0.001). Furthermore, the fatty acid composition of the egg yolks presented that C18:2 in the CLO and Crpic groups was significantly lower (p<0.05-0.001) compare to the control. However, only in the CLO group, C18:3, C20:5 and C22:6 were significantly higher (p<0.001) than the control. Only serum glucose and LDL+VLDL showed the CLO
Crpic interaction (p<0.05), most parameters did not. Therefore, supplemented chromium picolinate or cod liver oil in the diet of laying hens had beneficial effects. However, when these two factors were combined, there was no interaction with most parameters.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - March 15, 2016) - Magellan Minerals Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:MNM) ("Magellan") is pleased to announce that it has paid the US$855,000 to ASX listed Troy Resources Ltd. ("Troy") relating to the purchase of Troy's gold processing plant and related assets that was due on March 15, 2016. The payment was funded by a secured convertible debenture provided by Anfield Nickel Corp. ("Anfield").
The US$855,000 payment to Troy was made in accordance with the terms of the amended asset purchase agreement with Troy (see the Company's news release dated March 2, 2016). Pursuant to the amended asset purchase agreement, Magellan is required to pay a further US$1,995,000 within 10 days of the closing of the proposed Plan of Arrangement with Anfield (see the Company's news release dated February 16, 2016). A final payment of US$1,000,000 will be made to Troy following the production of 20,000oz of gold or February 23, 2017, whichever comes soonest, thereby bringing the total cost of the assets to US$4,500,000.
Magellan is also pleased to announce that it has closed the secured convertible debenture financing (the "Financing") with Anfield (see the Company's news release dated March 9, 2016). Pursuant to the Financing, Magellan issued a secured convertible debenture in the principal amount of C$1,675,000 (the "Debenture") to Anfield. The Debenture bears interest at the rate of 8% per annum and will mature 30 days following closing of the proposed Plan of Arrangement. The principal amount of the Debenture is convertible into Magellan shares at any time at the option of Anfield at a conversion price of C$0.06 per share. Accrued interest is convertible into Magellan shares at the market price of Magellan's shares at the time the interest becomes payable. The Debenture and any shares acquired on conversion of the Debenture will be subject to a four-month hold period ending on July 12, 2016.
The proceeds from the Financing will be used by Magellan to fund working capital and were used to make the US$855,000 payment to Troy referred to above.
Separately, Magellan has issued a promissory note relating to an unsecured loan of USD 100,000 provided by an officer and director of the company. The loan bears interest at a rate of 12% per annum and is repayable in full together with interest on or before September 30, 2016. The proceeds of the loan were applied to the payment of US$500,000 that was made to Troy in late December 2015 (see the Company's news release dated January 19, 2016).
Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.

I stayed late watching some of the trial of Saddam. I can't believe this American managed spectacle. The US wants to use it for their propaganda, but it always backfires. Just like Hurra TV. Every footage of the trial helps the propaganda of Saddam and his supporters. He really runs the court; the judge (the new one) may be worse than the previous one. Yesterday, he strongly and forcefully lectured and hectored the judge, who just looked at him sheepishly. At that point, when Saddam was complaining about the discomfort from his shackles, the judge said that he would talk to the guards. Saddam started yelling at him, that he should order the guards, and not talk to them, and that he represents sovereign Iraq, and that the guards represent the American conquerors. At that point, the transmission ended. But it was too late. Saddam had his moment. I was most disturbed and repulsed at the sight of Ramsey Clark in the court room. Yesterday, he was officially approved as Saddam's lawyer. I know that some leftists out there support Clark. I disagree strongly. The left should dissociate itself from Clark. This is a man who never decided to take the case of any of the hundreds of thousands of Saddam's victims. When Clark was meeting with Saddam during his brutal rule, and saluting his leadership, did he suggest to defend one of Saddam's victims? This is a man who never met a dictator that he did not like if the dictator was opposed to US foreign policy. In that sense, Clark is not qualitatively different from George W. Bush. They both like their dictators; Bush likes dictators who are aligned with US policy, while Clark likes dictators who are opposed to US policy. They both employ (im)moral standards on human rights and democracy.

The peak oil message is slow to gain acceptance, says energy analyst Randy Udall, because it's at odds with our optimistic It's-Morning-in-America mentality. Politicians "Don't Do Depletion." Randy describes challenges, mitigations, and exciting opportunities to create a prosperous path to a lower-energy future. In an excerpt from his presentation at the Association for the Study of Peak Oil (ASPO-USA) conference in September 2008, the co-founder of ASPO-USA points out cornucopian myths about energy that are being shattered by reality. His concern is that the peak oil crisis, while less known than the climate crisis, will impact us sooner, and is not being factored into climate policy decisions. Peak Oil may in fact help moderate the climate crisis.
This is the third of several Peak Moment Conversations videotaped at ASPO-USA 2008. Coming: James Howard Kunstler, author of The Long Emergency, and Julian Darley, founder of Post Carbon Institute. The first was with energy investment banker Matthew Simmons on "Oil and Gas - The Next Meltdown?" The second was "Making Financial Sense of the Coming Energy Crisis" with financial consultant Jim Puplava.

SOURCE: Daum Communications
December 02, 2013 08:00 ET
SEOUL, KOREA--(Marketwired - Dec 2, 2013) - Daum Communications (KOSDAQ: 035720), one of South Korea's largest portals, is introducing its beautiful calendar application _SolCalendar_ in Portuguese (Brazilian) through Sol Studio at Daum.
SolCalendar is an exceptionally practical and convenient calendar app which comes with a simple but sophisticated design. Users can check on all the important events immediately with its "split view" at a single touch.
The weather information for upcoming 7 days helps users set up their schedule effectively. And the events can be shared with friends and peers through various methods including texting and mobile messengers, email or social media.
SolCalendar doesn't require any separate account for using it. Once it is installed, all the calendars on user's smartphone are automatically synced. All the other calendars which support the CalDAV protocol such as Yahoo calendar and Apple's iCloud can also be synced by just adding accounts.
More than 30 different beautiful widgets are attracting those who were getting sick of boring Android widgets. It is possible to visualize events on the calendar by decorating with adorable stickers.
After SolCalendar was introduced in English and Korean on September the 10th, there has been enthusiastic feedback from users and media all around the world. Some of them were spread through social media and word of mouth. Recently, The Next Web (www.thenextweb.com) introduced SolCalendar as one of the '30 of the most beautiful and well-designed Android apps.'
Moreover, users in Denmark, Germany, Russia, Spain and France translated SolCalendar to their own languages spontaneously. With this support, Sol Studio at Daum stepped on the accelerator and installed more languages on SolCalendar. It is now available in Portuguese (Brazilian), Italian, Danish, German, Turkish, Russian, Spanish, French, English, Chinese, Japanese and Korean.
As a response for a lot of requests from European users, displaying events with the 24 hours format is supported now and moving to other months in widgets which were mainly requested as well by users became possible. And also detailed itineraries can be recorded repetitively better on bi-weekly, tri-weekly and any custom setting for repeating events and designed to designate the number of repetitions or time of expiration.
Sol Studio at Daum is also providing the SolMail application which gathers all email messages from multiple accounts in one place. As in the case of SolCalendar, SolMail is rising to solid acclaims along with an expanding customer base worldwide. SolMail is serviced in Portuguese, Italian, German, Russian, Spanish, French, Romanian, Polish, Chinese, Japanese, English and Korean.
Both SolCalendar and SolMail are currently available at Google Play.

Do you want to kill your ward?
Yet another young life with a bright future will be lost. Yet again, the media in the country will ask what are the top educational institutes in the country doing to ensure that these things don't happen on their campuses (with the obvious implication that it is alright to lose a young bright life outside these few campuses). The curriculum, the pedagogy, and everything else be scrutinized with a fine comb. Suddenly, the press will become expert on everything related to education.
IITs have tough competition. What does this mean, and who is responsible for it. Is having five courses a semester too much load (if yes, then close down all engineering colleges, they all have more courses than this). Is having an assignment every other week too much. Or should we just do some theory in lectures and ask questions in the exam from a set of pre-defined important questions. No, that is not what brings stress to the people. What brings stress to the people is their relative position in the class. And ANY system you create, if students are going to be worried about their relative positions, they are going to be stressed.
People say IITs put too much focus on academic performance, on this one number, CPI or CGPA. Shouldn't an academic institution worry about academic performance. And what is this too about too much focus. Yes, there are some academic decisions based on academic performance. But by and large, the institutes invests huge resources in creating avenues for non-academic pursuits. If there are awards for academic performance, there are also awards for projects, awards for sports performance, awards for leadership, and everything else. How many faculty members in an IIT will ever consider you less than a human being just because you are not in the top half of the class. The chances are that it never happens. It is the parents, the neighbors, the relatives, who worry more about your CPI and CGPA than IIT faculty. And they are the cause of stress and even depression, and not IITs.
The goal of most students in an educational institution is to get a good job. Who puts that focus in their mind. Certainly not the institute. Almost no faculty in IITK would tell students that the goal of IIT education is to get a 50 lakh or even a 10 lakh job. Most will actually tell them that they should think beyond placements, may be go for higher education, do what is their calling, be entrepreneur, and so on. So why do people get depressed when they don't get a job on day 1 of the placement. It is the parents unfortunately. Students are scared of calling up parents and telling them that their friends have a job and they don't. Even if they have confidence in themselves that they will get jobs on day 2 or later, they don't know how to get their parents off their back.
When a student falls sick, particularly depressed, the counselor tells us that the student needs family care and affection more than anything else, and we suggest that s/he goes home. It is the parents who don't want him/her home. He will manage, is always the statement that we hear. Do they know more than a professional counselor. But to them, the worry is not child's health, the worry is, what will people think, and the financial loss of a delayed graduation. Has anyone in an IIT ever said that you must finish your under-graduate in 4 years. We have a credit based system, and everyone is free to take 5 years to complete. No, the pressure does not come from the Institute, it comes from parents. For them, their own position in society and the money is so important that they are willing to play dice with their ward's life. (And of course, less than 0.01 percent of the students will die. So they can all say at the end, we told you so. Except that we can't tell that one parent, we told you so.)
I will get about 1000 calls/emails/messages in the counseling season asking for advice on what college/program to join. 900 out of these 1000 will ask me directly - which places have good placement. Out of the remaining 100, most are not asking the question only because they have read my blogs and know my strong view that quality of education is more important than placement statistics, and it is easier to find out about the quality of education than to find out about the placement statistics. These parents are guilty of pushing their wards on the path that will certainly have stress and anxiety and may have depression as well. Only very few will commit suicide and everyone else will believe that they are better parents, they knew how much to push, the other parents perhaps didn't, or even that the Institutes are responsible. But sorry guys, you just got lucky. You tried your best, but your ward survived, just because 99.99% will survive. It didn't have to be that way. All of them could have not just survived but enjoyed the college life.
And many of those students survived because IITs helped them survive. Because the counseling system works there. Because the other students are more compassionate than parents. Because the faculty works hard to help the weak.
When people say that parents left the child in your custody and parenting now is faculty duty, they are just passing the buck. First, they have not left the child in our custody. They call up every day, ask the score in every exam, ask for relative performance, and interfere in every aspect of student life. They don't realize that the student is now an adult. Second, faculty members can not be parents, should not be parents. That is not their job. By doing that job, we are being unfair to the tax payers. Being a faculty member is a very expensive proposition, and it is wasteful to use such an expensive resource for parenting, something that they may not be greatly skilled in. They should better do teaching and research in their time.
So, the next time you ask me about the placement statistics of this college or that college, think about it, you could be pushing him/her to take the extreme step.
Please focus on quality of education, and stop blaming IITs for every suicide.

Mr. Sanghi,
As usual, a very balanced post. I fully agree with your points. However, I say there is one angle that you have not covered that also contributes to some extent of the student's performance in the institute. That is the entrance exam. Before I make my point, let me state my own experience:
* When I wrote JEE, I didn't get selected because it focused on what I learned in my 10+2, but on topics that I will learn in engg. Obviously I was not well prepared and I didn't get selected.
* When I wrote the entrance for M.Tech (CS) for IITK, it focused not only on what I learned, but also on the aptitude. I did well and got selected.
I did fairly well in my studies in M.Tech. That's because there is match to what/how they teach in M.Tech, to they way I was tested in entrance and what my capabilities are.
The JEE has not changed a bit and continues to be based on very advanced topics. And the whole bunch of coaching institutes make people mug-up the answers. They will get a good JEE rank and join some IIT or the other. But you see, they have no logical thinking or learning skills. I feel this mis-match could be one of the contributors for some of students not able to perform in IIT.
I think this must change and the entrance must focus on the learnability and aptitude of the person rather than knowledge that can be mugged-up.
My 2paise.

@Girish, I agree that JEE has serious flaws, and as you know, I have written a lot about JEE on this blog.

Dr. Sanghi,
I agree with what you have discussed in this post. And every point is indeed true. Sir, don't you think it's all coaching centers which project IITs as a place where you get best placements and not emphasizing what IITs stands for or what IITs expects from students. I think this ignorance is all the reason for parents to think in this way. Even IITJEE is glorified among middle-class societies, where everyone think that it's the best investment parents can put on their ward on coaching centers beyond their capacity. Indirectly coaching centers are primary reason for stress and anxiety.

This comment is not related to the blog. @Girish, your statement "And the whole bunch of coaching institutes make people mug-up the answers. They will get a good JEE rank and join some IIT or the other. But you see, they have no logical thinking or learning skills." is seriously wrong and you can't pass you judgement on coaching institutes if you have never been to one. This is similar to people passing judgement on the IIT system even when the have never been associated with it ever.

Sir every time I see comments on your blog or else where I find we coaching people are becoming the soft target for all such issues. But all of them forget the primary reason for this increased coaching phenomenon. We are a developing nation which don't have enough resources and what all career options students or parents have once the child finishes X or XII. JEE/CPT/CLAT/AIPMT one two more and the list ends especially for tier II and below cities where people don't have much exposure of other fields. Also due to visionary economic and tax policies people having a mediocre business also wants their children not to join that.In this scenario JEE seems to be the most preferred option but there we hardly have 15 thousand odd seats for the grab plus everyone knows what the teachers are doing at school how much quality education they are providing is known to us. So coaching seems to be the only way. This year I was asked for my opinion in four five cases for selection of subjects by my very near relatives and in all student I found should not go for Science and advised so but still all of them have forced (even student was also happily accepting) for science and they took admission at my coaching institute even after strong NO from me. So is it only our fault. One of them answered in a very straight manner that leave IIT/NIT we are happy with a private college degree it sounds better than B.A or B.Com or B.Sc. So this is not the mindset for which 100% fault lies with us. Mr. Girish one thing i will like to remind you that you design any type of test mixing acads whether basic or advanced level with aptitude you won't find a substantial change in the JEE merit list. I still feel the people getting in IITs are really the cream of current generation.So the basic issue is the lack of resources which is putting up this whole pressure cooker scenario.

My point is based on the fact that IITs reward performance on all parameters or traits including non-academic parameters like sports, leadership etc...
But as you said that certain entries/admissions are wholly based on academic performance.. I would like to ask why can't a holistic performance yardstick be designed to decide entry into any area inside IITs...even going to the extent of admissions to IITs...where weightages to components may vary based on the area chosen...

@Kishore, you want that we should select the Institute Hockey Team not on the basis of ability to play hockey (and related skills like teamwork), but it should be on a broader basis including grades in various courses. Sorry, I disagree.

@siddharth, I will not comment on coaching in this blog. But I do disagree with one statement that irrespective of the type of exam, you will see the same set of people getting selected. If that is the case, what is the objection to having a language paper, just to give an example. JEE is a lottery where you have to be a good hard-working student to have a chance in that lottery. Different types of exams will bias that lottery in different ways. And even if the same set of people will get selected, at least they will have more desirable skills when they are in IITs, if we had tested them properly on those desirable skills.

Sir what I meant was any sort of exam which is testing academical skills with Logical Reasoning will get you the same people on board. Regarding language paper I personally feels it should be there but not only in English it should have options for other languages to choose from and then I do agree same people coming in will be with more desirable skills. Only English will produce situation like BITSAT where state board (I mean Rajasthan and similar Hindi heartland states) students are marginalized completely because of those English questions.Lastly, I feel JEE can be criticized for many points but its not that bad to be called a lottery. My experience with the students I taught and the one's who are selected makes me confident enough to say so.

I agree. The stress is never due to the pressure or load of studies. It is about how the people back home will feel that worries a student. It was true then and it is true now as well. Yes, it didn't help that most of the students (then)were quite competitive and I believe same is true now. And this was a feature of IIT which was welcomed and set it apart from a 'normal' university. The students need to be focused, competitive and be able to bear some pressure in the process. This develops them into a man. What's wrong with it?

Sir, I believe that the reason behind our parents are concerned about the packages is also because the previous generation saw jobs solely as a source of income and our parents worked to earn money and support their families. For them life was all about what they did after the working hrs in the office and factories were over and hence education is seen as an investment to higher salary jobs to have a 'better life'.

Commentary: Mets Making Offers?December 12, 2009
So, here we are at the tail end of the Winter Meetings, and what have we learned?
Well, apparently Omar and the rest of the Front Office Mafia REALLY think that the Mets need to upgrade the catcher position. Chris Coste, Henry Blanco AND an offer to Bengie Molina? Seriously? Do we really need 5 players on the roster with major league experience at catcher?
Also, a formal offer to Jason Bay. Now, if this was five years ago, maybe, but can a guy who is not exactly Ty Cobb out in the field handle the vast expanse that is Citi Field's left pasture? Maybe they are using this as leverage with Boras against Matt Holliday, we can't be sure, but this is puzzling to anyone who watches defense. Add to that the fact that Mike Francesa of WFAN in NYC like the move and as a Met fan you have to be scared to death. Bay has also had some injury problems that should raise some red flags.
Reports are that Met ticket packages are not exactly flying out the window, so the fans are speaking with the only thing that the Wilpon's listen to: cold, hard, green cash. Interesting that the unnamed Mets source Bart Hubbuch twittered about in the Post said that Met fans are in a "wait and see" mode, and sales are slow. Then, not even five hours later the reports are that the Mets are making offers to Molina, Bay, and in the mix for Lackey.
Anyone else surprised?

Except we already knew he lost all his dough. We heard him be told by Lucius. We saw him get kicked out of a board meeting in his own company.
Didn't need Mr. millionaire to bum headline to tell the obvious after all of that.
The headline being shown just pushes the idea that yes, Wayne is now a "regular joe" as much as it was pushed when someone yelled out "Hey Wayne, how does it feel to be one of us?" as Bruce was leaving Wayne Tower.
But the pic doesn't pause like that in the movie for all of us to stop and squint at the partially obscured pic on the paper.
But yet there doesn't need to be anymore questioning when you can find such a pic.
Count on it.
Cool beans.
So ya are used to being disagreed with. I am shocked.
Until I prove I'm right
Quickest damn print of a newspaper lol. He comes out of W.E. gets his pic taken, gets a lift to see Selina, then goes home and he's already got a fully printed paper out on the stands with a photo of him that was taken within an hour as though it was a huge breaking story they had already been talking about in the morning paper.
Yeah don't think so.
Quickest damn print? Really? Wayne heading back to the manor was closer to the night time before Batman has his fight with Bane and the meeting at Wayne Tower could've been during the morning hours. That's not a quick print out when something new and unexpected has just happened. It's happened before for that business to spit out a new breaking story.

Is There a Deal on the FY '15 School Aid Budget?
Education advocates have been waiting as appropriations leaders and key staff continue to meet "behind the scenes" to hammer out an agreement on the $13.8 billion FY '15 School Aid Budget. It has been more difficult to reach consensus this year, perhaps because it's the final budget to be prepared by retiring Sen. Howard Walker (R-Traverse City) and term-limited Rep. Bill Rogers (R-Brighton), both of whom would like to leave a policy legacy for future chairs.
Differences remain on how additional payments toward the unfunded accrued liability of MPSERS; "best practices" and "performance" categoricals will impact potential increases in the per-pupil foundation grant. Sen. Walker continues to push for a $150-300 per pupil increase while Rep. Rogers wants a $56-112 per pupil increase. GLEP continues to advocate for the greatest reduction possible in the $973 per-pupil equity funding gap. It is likely a conference committee report will be released and voted on (very quickly) by both chambers next week, before the legislature breaks for the summer on Thursday, June 12.
House Education Committee Passes 4 Bills
On Wednesday, the House Education Committee, chaired by Rep. Lisa Posthumus Lyons (R-Alto), passed the following bills, all of which we're supported by GLEP:
- SB 66 (Proos) to require greater notification for students to incorporate CTE courses.
- HB 4725 (Olumba) to allow charters schools to create residential programs for at-risk youth.
- SB 644 (Hildenbrand) to adjust enrollment procedures at strict discipline academies.
- SB 817 (Pappageorge) to delay implementation dates for teacher and administrator evaluations.
Deficit Districts Decline and More at Joint Hearing
On Thursday, the joint Senate and House Appropriations Subcommittees on School Aid and the Department of Education heard a quarterly report and testimony from Superintendent Mike Flanagan on deficit districts. MDE reported that 52 districts were projected to end FY '13 with a deficit while only 43 districts are expected to end FY '14 with a deficit. This topic seemed to bore committee members, however, as the hearing devolved into rambling rants about how our standards are too high (Algebra II is destroying our society) but we shouldn't require or expect 3rd graders to read proficiently. If GLEP wasn't there, we almost wouldn't believe it!!
20 Additional "Champions for Kids" Endorsed
GLEP's announced yesterday an additional 20 endorsements in campaigns for the State Senate and State House of Representatives, bringing the total to 53 candidate endorsements in 50 legislative races across the state. Click here for the full list.
Should We Change How State Board of Education Members are Elected?
This week the House Elections Committee passed HJR GG, a resolution to change the state constitution to require members of the State Board of Education to be elected from eight single-member districts, rather than statewide. GLEP would prefer making the State Board of Education an advisory group and have the State Superintendent appointed by the Governor, like the other 15 state departments. But that's just us.
Will Other States Drop the Common Core?
3 states have dropped the Common Core State Standards. Will others follow? Catch up with the experts today at 2:00 pm for a live webstream event from the Thomas B. Fordham Institute and the American Enterprise Institute.

ARTIST: We Got This Far
ALBUM: Bludgeon
LABEL: Self-released
REVIEWER: Matthew J.
We Got This Far is taking industrial rock to the old days, not only in terms of their sound but also because their debut release is a promotional 12-inch vinyl pressing. Of the four tracks on this album, three are extremely different versions of title track "Bludgeon." The first is a crunchy industrial march full of deliberately low-fi keyboards and thickly distorted vocals. There's guitar squeal as well, but it's buried beneath the pounding rhythm section and gurgling vocals work; it's heavy, blunt and pounding, so "Bludgeon" is nothing if not a fitting title. Alternate version "Dark Passenger (Bludgeon)" is similarly low-fi, but underneath the rumble of broken speakers is a hint of modernity in the form of chopped glitches. "Draining to Nowhere (Bludgeon)" is cleaner; though still heavy, the guitars and vocals are brighter, more melodic, more recognizable as rock music. Finally, finishing things up is "Misstep," another relatively straightforward rock offering with huge crunchy guitars backed by a thunderous beats and bass. The antithesis of slick, this is dirty old-fashioned industrial rock the way it was meant to be, so check it out if you're a fan of early Pigface or Revolting Cocks.
