A young girl from Thailand finds that there are many shades to being American in this poignant story about longing to belong.

In Thailand she was named Oy, but here in America the teachers call her Olivia. Other things are not so easy to change, however. When Oy draws a self-portrait that has brown hair and eyes round as coins, her classmate Frankie makes fun and calls her Chinese. And the popular girl, Liliandra, barely speaks to her, until she learns that Oy has something very special: a Thai dancing dress from her grandmother, shimmering with pink silk and golden threads that make her look like a princess. Will Oy risk shaming her family to win Liliandra’s approval - and be part of the club she has envied from afar?

With compassion and rare insight, Carolyn Marsden tells a simple tale about a young girl who searches for acceptance in a complex culture, while learning to treasure all that she is..

As John Swanson states, A box with a friction fit lid is nice; a box with a threaded lid is extra special In this book, John takes the reader through every step necessary to create beautiful turned wooden boxes with threaded lids. Accompanying the precise and detailed text are over 250 color photographs, showing every technique and tool used by the author. A box layout table is also provided to ensure that the boxes you turn on your lathe will have the proper proportions between the lid and the base. Once the box has been turned on the lathe and successfully threaded, instructions for adding a lustrous, durable finish are provided. Also included in this valuable text are gallery photographs featuring many beautiful box designs turned in a variety of woods. This book is a must for every woodturner who has ever wanted to create boxes with a twist..

This comprehensive new reference, featuring information extracted from Modern Machine Shop’s Handbook for the Metalworking Industries, provides 600 large, easy to read pages of text, tables, and diagrams featuring in-depth coverage of all aspects of thread systems, threading methods, and threaded fasteners and their capabilities. Special attention has been given to the wide variety of available machining operations and tools exploited in the creation of threaded fasteners, including unusually detailed coverage of methods used to determine the ideal hole diameter for tapping operations. An important addition to this book that is not contained in the parent Handbook is a discussion on aircraft fasteners (including rivets, which are sometimes substituted for threaded fasteners) that are employed in several industries. Every effort has been made to provide current, useful, and practical knowledge that an engineer, designer, or machinist normally consults in order to select a suitable machining operation and fastener for a particular engineering application..

This book will provide you with a practical introduction to multi-threaded programming in C++. Multi-threaded programming is fast becoming a vital weapon in the armoury of the software engineer battling against the complexity of modern computer applications and Mark Walmsley provides all the information you need to implement effective multi-threaded programs under both Windows and UNIX operating systems. Topics covered include: - process and thread environments - thread scheduling - mutex and event synchronization - applications for semaphores - passive and active objects - thread-specific storage - one-time initialization - deadlock avoidance strategies - random event monitoring - distributed computing.

From the author: Threaded joints can be used to join different polymers or polymers to metals at high loads. Design with self-threading screws or threaded inserts requires dynamic mechanical properties. Results are presented on threaded joints of glass fiber reinforced polyamide 6 under static and dynamic loads. Dynamic load limits are determined by using the hysteresis measurement method with stepwise load increment experiments and single load level experiments. The failure and fatigue behavior of threaded joints is characterized by several parameters calculated from the hysteresis loop. These parameters change in a characteristic manner as a function of load and time. Significant changes exhibited by the damping and stiffness curves in stepwise load increase experiments can be used to determine the loss of preload on the screw and the beginning of screw pull out. Specially designed self threading screws for threaded joints capable of bearing high dynamic loads are discussed. These joints can attain a life in the endurance range ([10.sup.6] cycles) without loss of preload. In comparison with S-N curves, the dynamic load limits for threaded joints can be determined more quickly by the hysteresis measurement method.

In the fall of 1999, Crafter's Choice Book Club, inspired by Mimi Dietrich's Pink Ribbon Quilts: A Book Because of Breast Cancer, announced a call for quilt blocks that incorporated the color pink. We wanted to honor those whose lives had been affected by breast cancer, raise funds for research, and increase public awareness of the disease. The response was overwhelming--more than 3,500 blocks were received. Threaded Together is the touching story of our Pink Ribbon Quilt Project..
