Laparoscopic Approach Aids Recovery after Living Donor Hepatectomy for Liver Transplantation
Within one month after undergoing a laparoscopically performed living donor hepatectomy for liver transplantation, donors showed a faster return to preoperative levels of mobility and body image satisfaction than donors who had open surgery, a recent study has found.
Program expands as data continues to show improved outcomes
Postoperative health status, body image satisfaction and quality of life rebound to preoperative levels quickly in donors undergoing laparoscopic donor hepatectomy (LDH) for living donor liver transplantation, according to a recent study published in Annals of Transplantation.
Choon Hyuck David Kwon, MD, PhD, coauthored the prospective, single-center study, which began when he led the program at South Korea's Samsung Medical Center before becoming Cleveland Clinic's Director of Laparoscopic Liver Surgery.
"Quality of life is really important in what we do, because our donors are healthy people who are volunteering for the surgery," says Dr. Kwon. "Returning to their previous health status after surgery is perhaps even more important to a donor than it might be to a transplant recipient who also wants to fully recover but ultimately needs a procedure to survive."
Dr. Kwon notes that although the open donor hepatectomy (ODH) control group in the study was small (N = 2), the significant postoperative differences observed in LDH patients (N = 45) versus ODH patients are consistent with findings from other studies. The special ethical considerations of living donor surgery precluded group randomization, and most enrollees in the study opted for laparoscopic surgery, meaning nonparametric statistical methods were needed to compare the ODH and LDH groups. The Samsung program moved exclusively to LDH soon after the research began.
The researchers surveyed patients for health status assessment and quality of life (QOL) on the day prior to operation, during hospitalization, on their discharge date and then at 1, 6 and 12 months postoperatively using the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery Mobility Scale (EMS), the Body Image Questionnaire (BIQ) and the Eq-5D®, a generic health-related QOL questionnaire.
Patients in the LDH group were independently mobile from postoperative day 5, earlier than the ODH patients. The LDH group had significantly higher mean EMS scores than the ODH group on postoperative days 5 and 7 (P = 0.011 and P = 0.004, respectively). Body image scores for the LDH group were significantly higher than that of the ODH cohort at 1 month (P = 0.017). QOL in the LDH group returned to preoperative values at 6 months (P = 0.059) and 1 month (P = 0.217), respectively. "We now have further evidence that laparoscopic is a superior approach in terms of donor recovery," says Dr. Kwon.
An expanding and advancing program
While LLDH can help increase the supply of donor livers, the procedure is technically demanding and complex. Its use is mostly confined to Asia and is not widely practiced in the U.S.; Cleveland Clinic's LDH program is the nation's most active and the only U.S. program to use the laparoscopic approach for all living donors. Dr. Kwon founded the program at Samsung Medical Center in 2013 before being recruited to Cleveland Clinic in 2018 to begin the nation's second LDH program.
"As of November 2022, we've completed over 90 procedures and have been the only fully laparoscopic program in the U.S. since 2019," says Dr. Kwon.
While globally, 95% of LDH resections involve the right lobe of the liver, Cleveland Clinic's program now has more left lobe donors than right.
"Working with the Director of Living Donor Liver Transplant, Koji Hashimoto, MD, PhD, we've determined when modification of portal venous flow is needed to alleviate the risk of overflow injuries that result in small-for-size syndrome," Dr. Kwon says. "It enables us to use grafts as small as 35% of standard liver volume and yet have very good outcomes. Our donors recover so much better, and I think left lobe donations will be the trend in the coming decade."
Dr. Kwon and colleagues are preparing a manuscript detailing their experiences at Cleveland Clinic to share best practices for building a safe, robust laparoscopic living donor program that will help address a paucity of data specific to populations in the West.
The program also recently hired Jaekeun Kim, MD, a leading expert in robotically assisted liver resection, to expand the program to include robotically assisted living donor hepatectomy, which Dr. Kwon believes other surgeons could adopt more readily. "Laparoscopic living donor hepatectomy has a bit steeper learning curve," he says, "and the robotically assisted program could allow us to eventually make this procedure more accessible to more surgeons as part of our educational mission."

The UK market relies heavily on outside recruitment agencies and is the highest generator of recruitment fees in Europe. There is a discrepancy in the competence of agencies, including lack of checks and inaccurate job descriptions.
It is essential that you are conscious about your level in English. The expected standard is high, so ensure that you invest in perfecting both your spoken and written English.
Employers look for the right cultural fit. Personality and experience are also key.
The 'old boy' network (school, college or family connections) is still very prevalent.
Activate your own network and make use of tools such as Linkedin wisely. We strongly advise you to invest in a Premium account on Linkedin that will maximise the number of connections.
Take the time to study the marketplace and look at current job offers for the type of roles that interest you, so that you can adapt your presentation and CV accordingly. Equally, ensure that you benchmark the average salary for the type of jobs you are applying to.
There is a reduction in amount of personal information on CVs, mostly in reaction to discrimination laws. It is, for example, now illegal to ask a candidate's age.
Heavy emphasis is put on recent responsibility, experience and soft skills (team player, keen sportsman, charity work) in addition to academic achievements.
A recruiter in the UK expects the interviewee to come with a vision for his/her next career move, almost a personal business plan.
French graduates seeking a first job in the UK should be aware that British interviewers are unlikely to quiz them about the content of their university courses or extra-curricular activities.
Demonstrating initiative, self-confidence and leadership are important topics discussed at interviews.
It is common for future colleagues/team members to meet/interview a candidate as part of the process.
Identify the direction you want your career to take and articulate this very clearly in all communications. A potential employer will be drawn towards profiles that show ambition, focus and logic based on the candidate's trajectory and experience to date.
References are an important element of the recruitment process. Often given rapidly/briefly over the phone. Good employers/recruiters will use informal references from their network in addition to references provided by the candidate.

Blow for Hyundai as Court of Appeal upholds opposition against KONA mark for automobiles
This article first appeared on WTR Daily, part of World Trademark Review, in May, 2019. For further information, please go to www.worldtrademarkreview.com
Kona USA Inc opposed registration of Hyundai's mark KONA for "automobiles" based on earlier mark KONA for "bicycles"
Intellectual Property Office upheld opposition, finding that goods fell within same general category
Court of Appeal confirmed that goods belonging to same general category can be considered as similar
The French Court of Appeal has issued its decision in Hyundai Motor Company v Director General of the French Intellectual Property Office (30 October 2018), which concerned two identical KONA marks.
On 9 October 2017 the French Intellectual Property Office upheld the opposition upheled by Kona USA Inc against Hyundai Motor Company's international trademark registration KONA (No 1331235), covering "automobiles", on the basis of the EU trademark (EUTM) KONA (No 311449), covering "bicycles and
structural parts thereof", thereby refusing protection to Hyundai's international registration designating France.
Hyundai then formed an appeal, contesting the opposition decision issued by the Intellectual Property Office. It considered that the conclusion that the goods in question formed part of the same general category, namely "apparatus for locomotion by land", was insufficient to find a similarity between the
Court of Appeal decision
However, the court found that goods belonging to the same category can be considered as similar. The "automobiles" covered by the contested trademark application and the "bicycles" covered by the EUTM have the shared purpose of transporting people. Moreover, the evolution of bicycles into the field of
electric bicycles further increased the similarities between the goods. The court also held that "bicycles"
and "automobiles" can both be distributed by the same companies.
The court further noted that, even if the relevant public possesses a high degree of attention when purchasing automobiles (more so than when purchasing bicycles), there nevertheless existed a risk that the relevant consumers would attribute a common origin to products bearing an identical trademark possessing distinctive character.
As such, the court decided that there was a risk of confusion between the two signs and dismissed the appeal.
Through this decision, the court reiterated that different products falling within the same general category can be considered as similar, with the risk of confusion being reinforced when the signs in question are identical and possess distinctive character. The judgment highlights the importance of
considering the nature of the goods and the relevant general category to ensure that a risk of confusion does not exist, particularly where the trademark owner is capable of capitalising on its rights in numerous related fields. In addition, the commercial dimension of the risk for Hyundai was further increased as it had failed to take into consideration the fact that the owner of the EUTM KONA exploited
the mark under the name Kona.
Automobile manufacturers should take note of this decision, as it demonstrates that the judges are willing to apply an abstract vision of the market by finding that automobiles and bicycles are similar. The decision shows that automobile manufacturers should exercise caution when carrying out trademark
searches, and take into consideration the similarities identified in the judgment between bicycles (and structural parts thereof) and automobiles.

This does relate to some of the issues discussed here but did seem to be worth it's own topic, especially given the number of threads that have ended up discussing things like like pensions, Enron, off balance sheet financing, shareholder rights, etc. all of which are inter-related in sometimes unexpected ways.
rules, developed by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, an independent nonprofit organization, apply to all state and local governments. They require employers to measure and report the long-term costs of retiree health benefits while employees are still working. Under current practice, most public employers do not report such costs until they pay for the promised benefits, often many years after employees have retired.
"State and local governments have generally been looking at the tip of the iceberg," said Karl D. Johnson, project manager for development of the new rules. "Our standards require them to measure the iceberg. Many public employers have never looked under the water. They just looked at what they could see on the surface — what they have to pay this year for current retirees — without measuring the cost of their commitment to provide retiree benefits to large numbers of active workers."
In large states, Mr. Johnson said, such unfunded liabilities for retiree health benefits total billions of dollars.
Labor unions and health plan administrators said the standards could jeopardize health benefits for millions of retired public employees. Moreover, they said, the standards will cause a fiscal shock to state and local government agencies and could harm their bond ratings.
Private companies got hit with this in the early 90's with something called FASB 106. In fairness it did cause companies to reduce or eliminate benefits to their retirees if only because it caused companies to recognize what the costs of those promises really were. When 106 came along the original estimates of the unfunded (i.e., unrecognized) liabilities of the Fortune 500 by a very significant margin. Translation, they were insolvent and could not pay the bill for the promises they had made.
Unions contend that the standards will force public employers to overstate their liabilities for retiree health benefits, because the standards ignore the fact that employers can reduce or eliminate health benefits in the face of fiscal pressures.
Tell me, who exactly will scream the loudest if the employer ever does cut benefits?

Do insurance companies ever refuse to pay for treatment bills under PIP coverage?
Yes. Unfortunately, insurance companies can increase their profits if they pay fewer claims. Sometimes they will send your doctor bills to an "independent" review service or doctor. They will then claim that some or all of the treatment was unreasonable or unnecessary. They will then refuse to pay some bills. It always helps to double check with an Oregon injury lawyer to see what rights you have and what you can get out of an injury claim in Oregon.


Concussion: A concussion is the most minor and common type of TBI. A concussion is caused when the brain receives a somewhat minor trauma from an impact, such as a hit to the head by an object or person or from a sudden change in momentum, such as a fall. It may or may not result in a short loss of consciousness (not exceeding 20 minutes) and can be diagnosed by observing common symptoms such as headache, confusion, and vomiting. Difficulty with thinking skills (e.g., difficulty "thinking straight," memory problems, poor judgment, poor attention span, a slowed thought processing speed) (Brain Injury Association of America, 2006a; TBI Recovery Center, 2006).
Skull Fracture: A skull fracture occurs when the skull cracks or breaks. A depressed skull fracture occurs when pieces of broken skull press into the tissue of the brain. A penetrating skull fracture occurs when something pierces the skull and injures the brain (Brain Injury Association of America, 2006a; TBI Recovery Center, 2006).
Contusion: A contusion is bruising or bleeding of the brain (Brain Injury Association of America, 2006a; TBI Recovery Center, 2006).
Hematoma: A hematoma is a collection of blood inside the body (Brain Injury Association of America, 2006a; TBI Recovery Center, 2006).
Another type of brain injury is called Acquired brain Injury. This describes damage to the brain not associated with trauma to the head or skull and typically involves the entire brain. Common causes of acquired brain injury are loss of oxygen to the brain due to drowning, toxic exposure to carbon monoxide, as well as heart attack and stroke (Brain Injury Association of America, 2006b).
What are symptoms of TBI?
There are various levels of TBI, including mild and moderate or severe TBI (TBI Recovery Center, 2006).
Mild TBI: Symptoms of mild TBI include headache; confusion; lightheadedness; dizziness; blurred vision or tired eyes; ringing in the ears; bad taste in the mouth; fatigue; a change in sleep patterns; mood changes; and trouble with memory, concentration, attention, or thinking. The injury may or may not result in a brief period of unconsciousness.
Moderate or Severe TBI: Symptoms of moderate to severe TBI may be similar to symptoms of mild TBI, but they may also include a headache that gets worse or does not go away, repeated vomiting or nausea, convulsions or seizures, inability to awaken from sleep, dilation of one or both pupils of the eyes, slurred speech, weakness or numbness in the arms or legs, loss of coordination, increased confusion, restlessness, or agitation.
Most workplace difficulties are the result of cognitive functional limitations such as remembering, organizing, learning, and planning skills. (Hirsh et al., 1996).
What accommodations are suggested to support individuals who are diagnosed with TBI?

Q: Can a form be submitted from a jQuery Colorbox to SELF so that it 'refreshes' in same Colorbox window? I have a form that is shown inside a Colorbox. When users click submit there is some validation done (checking if an entered field already exists in my database) if it does a message is shown and user is prompted to enter a new value. However when this happens the form is not shown the second time inside the Colorbox window, instead it appears on a blank page.
the form is posted to PHP_SELF, how can i change this to show in PHP_SELF (in the current Colorbox)?
cheers

A: I know this is aside from what you are asking, but
What if you used jquery's submit() and post() instead of PHP_SELF to pass form data to an external php class and handle displaying the return data?  If the data is acceptable, you can call $.colorbox.close() manually.  If data is unacceptable you can display a message to the user describing the problem.
$('myform').submit(function(){
    //validate the data with javascript
    //send the data to your function with post
    $.post('http://url/to/your/function',{a:first_input,b:second_input},
        function(return_data){
        if(return_data == 'success'){
           $.colorbox.close();
        }else{
           //display your error message here
        }
        ,html
     );

Infusing Love Into Your Business – Guest Glodean Champion
Home/Educational eJenn Solutions, eJenn Podcast, Ideas For Your Business/Infusing Love Into Your Business – Guest Glodean Champion
It's Valentine's Day season and love is in the air! While it's a day to spend time with your loved ones, it's also the perfect time to infuse some love into your business! In today's eJenn Solutions Podcast, we talked to Glodean Champion, a Transformational Leader/Speaker. She specializes in personal growth, leadership development, diversity, inclusion, and equity. Read on to learn more about how brings love to everything she does and how you can too!
Self-Love Is The Key To Everything
The biggest thing that Champion emphasized during her interview is self-love. Once you learn to love yourself, then everything else will follow through. It's very easy to say, "We should be the love you want to see in the world," but according to Champion, this takes some work. She talked extensively about how there was a moment when she looked in the mirror and asked, "Do you love yourself?" The answer? She didn't. It was then that Champion realized the love that she was giving to others was not the same amount she was giving to herself. So she went on a self-love journey and realized that she needed to strip down and get in touch with her feelings, which ultimately ended in Champion marrying herself. She said:
"[I started] just being mindful of what I put in my body. I stopped drinking because I think since my mom passed and other, you know, heartbreaks and things like that just led to me drinking more. And I recognized that I wasn't drinking because I enjoyed drinking. I was doing it because I didn't want to do deal with how I was feeling. So I had to get stripped down, you know, bare bones, butt naked, and look at myself and look at ways that I could really incorporate loving myself. The minute I stepped into that and said, 'OK, I'm going to do this,' it was like all these opportunities for me to talk about love and to help people understand why love is important. But starting with yourself first is important because we can't love each other unless we love ourselves. People treat each other like crap because they don't really love themselves."
From there, Champion was able to give love more freely without draining herself. She admitted that while not everyone will be receptive to the love you're giving, as long as you're able to love yourself, then everything else is no big deal. "I think that's the hardest thing for us to do. To give something to someone and not expect anything in return."
Think About What You Love And Do That
Champion's love journey actually started with her work in corporate America straight out of high school. She talked about how her first job was the Help Desk at Bank of America and then she worked her way up to a middle management position at Bayer Pharmaceuticals. She eventually quit corporate America to get her degree in English and writing, after which she started teaching. During this time, Champion started to think about some of the experiences that she was interested in, but wanted to improve upon. She remembered:
"So in all of those jobs, even in my teaching space, we did two things: sexual harassment and diversity training. People would go through these workshops and then they would go back to business as usual. We'd unpack all this stuff, but not really unpack it. We'd we'd gloss over why we're not connected. [The workshop] didn't really make you want to engage and think about how you show up in the world. It was just like, 'OK, we're all different. And we need to accept our differences,' but that's not really the point. So a part of me started stepping into my purpose. Love was just the catalyst. Then this workshop came to me. Literally. I woke up and half of it came to me in my sleep."
From there, Champion started her own business that aligned with her passion and interest. She built up her website, glodeanchampion.com, and began her own "heart-based approach to emotion-based work."
Making Your Passion A Reality
This was how the workshop, DEI Done Differently, began. Champion identified the problem that she wanted to find a solution for:
The issue of diversity, equity, and inclusion has been an unresolved issue since the Civil Rights Act of 1866. Why, after 150 years of trying, haven't we come to a final resolution? Because diversity has become divisive and pits us against each other in a "my difference is more important than yours" kind of way. Equity implies someone must "give up" something in order for someone else to "get" something. And inclusion assumes we need permission to belong, which strips us of our power and hands it over to someone else. All of this is driven by our personalities, background, culture, prejudices, biases, fears, and trauma — and fear and trauma are driving the car.
The DEI in DEI Done Differently stands for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. It's a 3-day educational series for transformational leadership. Champion said:
"DEI Done Differently is a heart-based approach to emotion-based work because we have been approaching DEI stuff intellectually. We're not going to send people to read a book and then expecting them to figure it out on their own. It's also not going to specifically make white people feel shame and blame because that's not helpful. The whole point of the DEI work in the first place is to create a space that's diverse, that's equitable, and inclusive. And if you make the people who are supposed to be making that possible feel some kind of way about it, then yeah. They're gonna check a box."
Champion also has a coaching leadership program called Safe To Ask and another program called Leaning to L.O.V.E., where L.O.V.E. stands for listen, learn, and lead open-mindedly with vulnerability and empathy. Champion works with individuals as well as businesses to add more love to their teams and organization. The point is to "learn how we listen and communicate with each other." Champion concluded the interview with the following words of wisdom:
"At the very base level of who we are, there's more that connects us than separates us. And if we just allow ourselves to engage with people that have different points of view…if you sit long enough in the conversation, you will find commonality. So sitting through that discomfort and allowing the other person to be heard, because that is one basic need that we all have, we don't have to change their mind. We don't have to force them to feel the way we feel. Give them the space to say how they feel and stay in the conversation. And I guarantee you staying in the conversation will help you find commonality. And once you find that commonality, all the political, religious, whatever stuff that's separating you will fall by the wayside. Then you'll have a human interaction that will change your life. It'll change your perspective on how you address people and move through your discomfort. You'll be on the way to love and connection."

Back to Board & Leadership
Robert C. Ballard	President & CEO, Ex Officio Board Member
President & CEO, Scholarship America
Robert C. Ballard joined Scholarship America as president & CEO in September 2015. He brought more than 35 years of higher education finance experience, most recently having served as senior vice president, philanthropy, at USA Funds (now Strada Education Network) where he directed all philanthropic programs and grant-making activities totaling more than $21.4 million in 2014 to promote access and success in higher education.
Ballard currently serves on the boards of the National Scholarship Providers Association and College Promise; Bottom Line, a nonprofit that helps disadvantaged youth get into college, graduate and go far in life; and Brighton Marine, a nonprofit that serves as a network community and resource hub of military, veteran and family services for uniformed service members in transition. Ballard is a retired U.S. Navy Commander and financial-services professional, and has previously served as chair of Indiana Dollars for Scholars and on the Scholarship America Board as vice chair before joining the organization as President & CEO.


In early August, Norwegian Monika Kørra was named Norway's national junior team coach, an under-the-radar, nordic news event that resonates. Kørra, a 29-year-old accomplished runner and cross-country athlete in Norway, comes to the job with an undergraduate degree from Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas, and a master's in coaching and sport psychology, which she completed in Oslo this summer.
Kørra's primary athletes are 12 junior skiers (six boys and six girls) that comprise Norway's National Junior Team. Organizing camps, writing training plans, coordinating with an athlete's club coaches, and competition travel are just a few of Kørra's primary responsibilities. Like any coach, she'll be the travel agent, psychologist, ski organizer, and team motivator.
Kørra is also a trailblazer along with Brit Baldishol, a longtime Norwegian Ski Federation coach and now the federation's ski development manager. Baldishol has been employed by the federation since 1999.
Baldishol, having been immersed in Norway's ski culture for decades, understands change can be slow.
Kørra posited that women may have been reluctant in the past to take on demanding coaching positions due to the travel demands and an emphasis placed on technical ability.
Baldishol emphasized that Kørra comes into a stable system with well-established technical norms to develop athletes.
Despite the time-worn and successful pathway, Norway felt a need to broaden leadership opportunities for women in skiing. Last winter, it launched a three-year mentorship program called "Skiing Leaders of Tomorrow". Kørra was part of the initial mentee group.
"They selected 20 women to attend this program to help them reach their goals, to become leaders in the form of trainers or coaches within an organization," Kørra said.
Baldishol, who serves as a mentor in the "Skiing Leaders of Tomorrow" program, revealed that Kørra, early on, stated she aspired to become Norway's national junior coach.
Growing up in Løten, Norway, Kørra became an exceptional summer and winter athlete as she matured. Her running times gained the interest of major collegiate track and field programs in the U.S., and she was offered an athletic scholarship to Southern Methodist University (SMU) in Dallas. She accepted and specialized in the 3,000-meter steeplechase, 10 k and 5 k.
Kørra's perspective on life goes well beyond sport. During her freshman year at SMU, she survived a horrific sexual assault and later wrote a book about it.
But she separated that moment from the rest of her experience living in Dallas. According to an ESPN article written about her in 2012, she loved both the school and the city.
Kørra told FasterSkier that she discovered a team ethos at SMU that she'll apply in her role as a national-level coach.
Although still a daily runner or skier depending on the season, Kørra gravitated towards ski coaching.
Norway certainly expects podiums, medals and meteoric nordic stars. That is the unrelenting pressure from the federation and the nation. When speaking with Kørra, her commitment to the whole person when considering her athletes became clear. Her core values transcend medal count. She emphasized her duty to foster adults who themselves contribute beyond just fast splits on the ski tracks.

In Australia, a down comforter or duvet is called a "Doona", a popular brand name of duvet items in the country, similar to exactly how tooth paste is generally referred to as "Colgate" in the Philippines. Australians though initially utilized the term "continental quilt" to suggest duvets. In Sindh, a province in southern Pakistan, duvets and down comforters are called ralli quilts.
When it pertains to the coverings that keep down collected and enclosed within, they typically come in three various versions; gusset-edged, box sewn and baffle box. A lot of comforters showcase a box sewed cover. This certain type of cover works well due to the fact that it keeps down where it's expected to be within the cover and doesnt normally permit it to shift around and pool up in a corner, for instance.
The bedspread has to be the right size for the bed. From smallest to biggest, the conventional sizes are twin, full, queen, and king. Full is occasionally called double. There is also a California king, even larger than a basic king. Children have their own sizes. Some beds are not conventional at all. A king sized bedspread is going to be a trouble if you have a twin sized bed.
A lightweight duvet is your best selection if you're wanting to enjoy undisturbed sleep. Various duvets have different fillings that eventually choose its all round weight. Among numerous accessible choices, the goose down filled duvet is the most comfortable. And, while goose down is among the most expensive duvet fillings, it's worth it. It's sturdy and also works as a brilliant insulator. While this specific duvet kind could be used by practically anyone; folks struggling from back pain can benefit most from it.
There definitely are a variety of quilts around the market, so you might have lots of options. Nevertheless, the true trick is normally to choose the proper one which can enable you've an exceptional sleep. Regarding me, I would choose to choose the down quilt. The down quilt is called most likely the most lightweight quilt, and its main fillings are goose down and duck down. Typically speaking, the down quilt which includes above 50 % of down might be the high-quality down quilt. Along with the benefits of down quilt are superb warm-keeping function, moisture absorption together with breathability, so it is rather dry. Due to its other qualities of softness, lightweight and delicateness, the down quilt will not develop any oppressive understanding, so it truly is especially appropriate for those who have hypertension, heart troubles, or bad the circulation of blood, the old, the pregnant together with youngsters etc.
If you suffer from allergic reactions, you will wish to get a quality hypo-allergenic microfiber down comforter where the down has actually been washed to remove it of naturally occurring dust and dirt bits that will bother somebody with allergies. However, if you are considered about germs and smells, you could prefer to buy a down comforter that has actually gone through an anti-microbrial therapy to assist you eliminate these issues.
One silk thread is comprised of 6 to 8 smaller threads known as filaments. These are turned around each other to form a strong thread. It has been said that silk is amongst the strongest material worldwide. This implies that the silk bedding sets offered in establishments will last you for several years, so long as you look after it properly. It is important to note that bedding made from grown silkworms has the tendency to be more powerful than silk made from wild silkworms.
The most functional of all is a reversible flat bed spread. This permits you to alter the look of a space just by turning the spread to the other side. For a reversible spread, sew a front and back. Then position the incorrect sides together. Baste the two layers together along all four sides. Next, include binding to all the raw edges. Rounded corners look very appealing on this style.
Stripes work well with florals and solids, or if you've got a flower or solid pattern elsewhere a striped duvet would be ideal. Beware not to use clashing colors, rather pick similar hues. A lot of stripes in a home are to be stayed clear of, however do not avoid utilizing them from time to time. Stripes can be a relatively stark design element so prevent using stripes with odd colors, rather let individuals heat up to the stripes.
Do you prefer contemporary to standard? A natural or artificial quilt takes you in this dilemma. However, I think you still have this feeling that, you would not assume of the very same if you made an appropriate comparison in between the two. From a previous market research, it was realized from the source that, compared with both natural and artificial quilts, numerous people would prefer sleeping on natural quilts as a 75 percent stated. As you retire to bed, the body loses so me moisture which is taken in by the quilt and dries up in the morning when you have actually aired the natural quilt. This prevents a sticky feeling that is experienced in the artificial quilt.
When it comes to value for your money, goose down comforters are again at the top of the load. This easy reason behind this is that total they are much better than other comforters and more affordable in the long term that synthetic comforters, because they last so much longer.
In feedback to the growing need for large size clothes alternatives, brand-new retail stores are popping up that offer extended sizes and existing brand names are expanding their clothes lines to accommodate for this requirement in the industry. The home products industry is not as quick to adapt to these needs, but there are some living options available that make life a little more comfy consisting of Motel Bedspreads sets, towels, and more. Here are some of the home design necessary to search for to optimize the quality of large size living.
Oftentimes, individuals think of feathers when they hear words down. This is not the case. Ducks and geese have a layer beneath their feathers. This soft and fluffy product keeps them warm. This is where the down filling originates from. It is the perfect product to keep you warm on cold nights. There is no other product understood to have this kind of insulating capability.
Shopping for bed sheets linen like duvets cover and bedding and linens can be a great deal of enjoyable for a great deal of individuals. There are a wide variety of choices available to customers today that will permit many various choices. In addition, duvets cover and bedding and linens can be discovered in a range of sizes to fit nonstandard or oversized beds also.
Your bed is one accessory that can make or break your relationship. This may well sound ridiculous, but many couples argue over what their bedding ought to look like. The man may well want something more rustic, where the better half would prefer to have something more fancy. It is extremely important that you actually should try your best to make your bed pleasant partner. Select his or her finest color and add your stunning quilt for it to be amazing.
Being even more thick, a duvet can be made use of as a blanket along with a bedding, therefore, making it unnecessary to utilize other bedding layers under it. Nevertheless, a comforter is simply a kind of blanket that offers limited insulation and can not replace the requirement for extra layers of bedding.
If you love to sit up reading or watching tv in bed, upholstered headboards are for you. They supply a cushioned backrest while giving your room a timeless appearance. When buying these headboards, it is important to bear in mind the size and shape of the headboard you want. The size of your bedroom and the size of your bed also assist you in identifying the size of the headboard.
The matter with down comforter sets, no matter of whether constructed of Duck or maybe Goose down is typically that they might lead to problems with people who are at risk of allergies, that is especially crystal clear with those who're hypersensitive to goose or maybe elude down and even feathers. For that reason for anyone who is afflicted by this matter what specifically are you options to maybe goose down comforter sets?
Southwest bedspreads are the only option for any southwestern, western or even Native American style. It's simple to purchase bedspreads online due to the fact that they are growing in appeal everyday. The southwest is full of color and life which rustic heat is what you capture in the beautiful Indian pattern bedspreads. Western decoration is likewise ideal for these rich materials.
However how can you pick the ideal duvet for you? Lots of property owner are not even knowledgeable about what differentiates a top quality duvet from an average one. Fortunately, so long as you inspect a few crucial characteristics of the duvets that you think about, you should have the ability to find bedding for your space that is both attractive and useful.
Lots of people think that luxury bed linens are just for the affluent. However, although luxury bed linens may cost even more than conventional linens, that does not necessarily indicate that they are out of grab the ordinary customer. When you take into consideration the reality that most sets of luxury bedding last a minimum of 10 years or even more, or are even bied far as heirlooms from generation to generation, you can see that quality bedding is always a rewarding financial investment, particularly when you also consider that inadequate quality bedding can easily wear out after 3 washings or less.
The sale could be because brand-new patterns and designs are pressing old inventory off the shelves. You might have the ability to find incredibly appealing, timeless comforters on sale, however you might also uncover that some of those "too good to be true" specials are booked for patterns that did not make the cut. That does not mean you must stay clear of those deals if they store something you like. You must be aware, nevertheless, that you might not be choosing from the most up to date or most popular patterns and constructs.
As winter draws better, lots of couples deal with the everlasting dilemma of when winter duvets will be drawn out. Generally, men have the tendency to feel warmer in bed and choose thinner duvets, where as ladies can often feel cold and desire much thicker duvets. Producing a trouble for couples who share the very same bed!
The quilt bedding sets are counted among among the most extravagant bedding ensembles. They are in big demand and therefore the bedding shops have a wonderful collections of them. The majority of them are developed with sharp functions and lovely prints with distinct clam borders. You can find both machine intricate designs as well as hand appliqued work on these luxury bedding sets.
Considering that a duvet is used as a blanket in addition to an alternative for other Motel Bedspreads, it is comparatively more pricey than a comforter. Some duvets are as big as comforters and can drape the entire bed and almost reach the floor. If you prefer this type of look, see to it you find duvet covers of the very same size.


A handful of people that appreciate a decent poker night at a friends house on Saturday evening also are fond of heading to a gambling hall to enjoy the game. A gambling hall offers not just long-established poker games that are bet on at a table, but also provides electronic poker games. The largest difference between table poker and electronic poker games is that the electronic Poker game is able to be set to offer specified odds regarding how often the player will hit.
Clearly, with an electronic poker machine, there are buttons and fake competitors instead of being permitted to touch your cards and read other players faces. The beautiful element regarding video poker machines, is that regardless of what version of this popular pastime you enjoy the most, odds are it will be playable. If you do not have a preference, are new to the poker or simply do not know all the policies, keep analyzing for some of the basics.
If you intend to play 5 card stud on an electronic game, you should see that the action is exactly the same as at the table. To begin, each player is given a card face down and one card that is face up. The person that shows the lowest value card has to make a bet of at a minimum fifty percent of the lowest amount to initiate the game. As the game advances the players lay wagers and cards are given out till the fifth and last card is given out face up, and the closing sequence of betting happens.
Are you relaxed going at an accelerated rate or might you rather determine your own pace?
Your answers to these particular questions will make it pretty clear how you must be playing your upcoming rounds of poker when you check out a gambling den.


Maker Faire in Balboa Park in San Diego is coming up this weekend. This time, I'm stationed on the outdoor stage of the Old Globe theater...which by total coincidence is WHERE I WORK!! SOOO convenient I can't stand it.
Also, I just learned that today (10/03) would have been coaster designer Fred Church's 140 birthday and that he died just short of his 58th. It's funny I would find this out today, the DAY BEFORE MY 58th BIRTHDAY. Things have been SO weird like that this last week, twice having dreams of random things that actually happened the next day...and this one really spooks me.
Anyways, I was able to complete the basic structure for the Cyclone Racer's south turn in time for this weekend and I'll take photos of it in it's entirety!
The basic shape from tip to tip will have taken form!
I still get over how much detail your coaster has! It's beautiful!

It would be fun to try, but I doubt it will. Actually, I expect to be asked that a lot this weekend. I used to just say "No" but I think it's more interesting to say, "We'll see when it's done!, but I doubt it will work."
I really make the models to satisfy my own curiosity about the ride's engineering.
Maker Faire in Balboa Park was a hit. Thousands of people checking out all the attractions throughout the park, everything from giant fire breathing robots to little cup cake cars that putted around. Artists, engineers, scientists, this annual event attracts all kinds.
Had, for the first time, all made pieces of the Model Cyclone Racer were put together and displayed in its whole 10' tip to tip span.
Also, I have a really creepy story. Someone posted last Wednesday on a Prior and Church & Traver page on Facebook, that it would have been Fred Church's 140th birthday on October 3rd and that he died just short of his 58th birthday. Since 2012 I've been telling people that I somehow seem to be channeling Fred Church through my work, starting with the Belmont Dipper restoration and since then I seem to build models of coasters that are his and that he must be my guardian angel. Not picking them because they're Fred Church designs, I pick them because they're beautiful coasters, and I was already telling people about other strange coincidences (those are mentioned in a video I made last month).
Well, MY birthday is October 4th, and I turned 58 last Thursday!! OMG our birthdays are only a day apart AND I find out he died just before the age I was turning!! I must say my anxiety was WAY up there, I even called my dad to call me the next day to make sure I woke up!!
I hope you're satisfied with the progress. Events like Maker Faire are very validating to me as there was lots of interest, questions, answers, stories, contacts. All good!! Great weekend. Once I am done with this model, I'm moving on to writing and photography.
I was set up on the outdoor stage of the Old Globe theater, where I just happen to be employed!
Already started writing a book. Just playing around with the cover and titles.
Meanwhile, I just now realized my skeleton for the southern tip, the three tiered turn over the water, is this close to done. All I gots to do is fill on some minor detail and track. Lots of track.
I was SO tired of hearing people say, "Oh look, it's Belmont" when they walk past my home, coffee shop, or where ever I set up shop for a few hours. Understandable, since that's the one right here in town, "Expand the boundaries of your imaginations!!" I wanted to scream out. "Belmont isn't duel tracked you fool." But I smile.
All I have left to do, structure frame wise, are the EASIEST (saved the easiest for last) straight sections that run North and South on the East and West side of the Racer, and then fill in some gaps here and there. Oh, and a base too.
I learned that those diagonals in this high-stress yet scantily build section were really made of steel so I replaced.
Fred Church was a great engineer and an artist too.
"Oooh look, Colossus" is what I'm hearing from out my window as people walk by.
I should show this photo to people who ask, "Where do you keep it?" I should put Christmas lights on this since I don't have room for a tree.
Amazing work! Keep it up, the model is stunning.
Chain of wagons is how one Long Beach paper described the Cyclone Racer trains. I like it, kind of like chest of drawers.
One set of four "chains" lol near completion with only the side roll bars to install. Having to bend all those exactly the same will be hard.
Also put down, finally, another layer of subtrack around the innermost run around the top turn.
Hooray, I now have enough track material to finish this end completely! If I work diligently, it'll be done by end of Holiday this Monday.
Playing with the idea to sell seats to raise money for the table and case. Donors get a paper doll likeness of themselves seated in a car, for permanent display, photos, et al.
Woohoo! Can't wait to see the finished product!

My kids love to color, it is a great way to express their creativity and relax after a long day. I have so much of their art work saved into scrapbooks it's crazy.

'Give extra attention to teaching arts, fashion in schools' —Expert
Godswill Samson
Arts and design teacher at Greensprings School, Anthony Campus, Lagos, Mrs. Anuoluwapo Adeyemi, has called on schools in Nigeria to promote art and fashion among their students.
She made this call while speaking at a recent fashion show organized by students of the school.
According to her, organizing art exhibitions and fashion shows, or generally providing the necessary support to teach the subjects would help raise a generation that would take the Nigerian art and fashion industry to the next level.
She said, "We recently did our 2021 fashion show, themed The New Normal: #MixedMediaExpression, and, based on this theme, our students showcased six clothing lines that brilliantly incorporated facemasks into their designs.
Through the guidance of the teachers, our promising clothing liners did the sketching of their designs, sourced the fabrics, made the dresses, and managed fellow students who modeled the designs.
"The show was a success, as it let our students see that they could also express their creativity via organizing impressive fashion shows like the ones they see on TV.
"From our students' performance during the show, it is obvious that Nigeria is blessed with a lot of young talents and I believe that our art and fashion industry would receive more global recognition in years to come, especially if more schools give extra attention to creatively teaching the subject, as well as organizing art exhibitions and fashion shows."
Greensprings School is a British international school with three campuses in Lagos, Anthony, Lekki and Ikoyi. The school opened to the public in 1985 and is now regarded as one of the best schools in Nigeria.
