Carving out time to work on the evening dress isn't especially easy. It's not one of those projects that I can throw into a tote bag and work on between teaching classes at the studio. I've discovered that lingerie is the perfect side project: quick, portable, easy, and satisfying. The only problem is that it's so fun to sew that it kind of takes over! (Side note: what's not easy about sewing undies is photographing them. Unless they're the tiniest of knickers, they look weird and huge in pictures. And then you go into this shame spiral of wondering why you're showing your underwear on the internet anyway.)
Yesterday I delved into the Betty High Waist Panties pattern from Ohhh Lulu. I know high-waisted undies aren't for everyone, but they give an amazing pin-up look for the vintage lover, don't you think?
Are you all aware of this brand? Sarah of Ohhh Lulu makes lovely retro lingerie that she sells on Etsy, and now she's released a line of sewing patterns. They're PDF patterns that get emailed to you. They're quick to print out and assemble since lingerie pattern pieces are so small.
I started out by making a muslin in stretch fabrics, just as the pattern suggests. (As a side note, there's also a short series of posts on making this pattern on the Ohhh Lulu blog. Check out her sew-along posts for lots of great info on sewing lingerie.) I made the large, which fit well in the hips and thighs but was too big in the waist. I also noticed that the silhouette wasn't as curvy as I wanted. After studying the pattern pieces a bit, I found my solution.
See how the side pieces here (in beige) are curved out? (Pic borrowed from the excellent Ohhh Lulu blog.)
This curve outward seems to counteract the curving in on the front and back panels, which resulted in a tube-like shape rather than an hourglass. (This is not a criticism of the pattern, by the way--just a personal preference!)
Here is my test version. I like the curves on the inner panel, but the side panels were creating lots of bagginess on my figure.
To get the shape I wanted, I needed to create some negative space between the panels, much like a dart. So I chopped off the outer curves on the side panels, and exaggerated the inner curve on the front panel. I also tapered from a large in the hips to somewhere closer to a medium in the waist.
My next two attempts were much better. I made a pair in white and pink mesh. I didn't have any cotton jersey to use for the crotch, so I begged an old white t-shirt from Jeff. Are there any sexier words than "Baby, can I have one of your old shirts to use as a crotch liner?" I think not.
Then I went to black mesh for the side panels and cotton jersey for the center, accented with a gingham bow.
I decided I still wanted more curviness on the front panel, so I adjusted the pattern some more and started this pink and black version.
Sewing panties is incredibly easy--it's just regular seams (which I serged), and then applying the picot elastic at the waist and legs (like I wrote about for my age-old slip tutorial). Once you get into it, a pair can be made in well less than an hour--and that includes cutting!
I've also been teaching myself how to make bras in all my spare time. Here's my latest "muslin," made from the Pin-Up Girls Classic Bra pattern. More to come on that once I make a wearable version!

I just found her shop the other day and love the little ruffle panties. Really had to work hard on not purchasing. Funny it's popped up for me again a few days later . . . . maybe it's a sign!ReplyDelete
These are so cute. Thanks for sharing your fit process.ReplyDelete
I know pictures of panties aren't easy to take and may cause brain trauma, but thank you for doing it. I love lingerie posts and I've recently bought a high waisted pair of panties that are shape wear with a retro feel. I feel sexy in them although they aren't my husbands preference. 99% of of the time I'm the one feeling sexy knowing what's under there so he can just deal with it. Yours are lovely and I think the panel effect would be quite slimming.ReplyDelete
I can't wait to hear your bra post. I have made a few Elan bras and one Kwik Sew that just is not my shape at all (nothing wrong with the pattern, they just were not designing for my breasts). I'd like to hear more about your experiences.
I have both the classic and partial band Pinup Girls bra patterns. I love them! I also have a pattern I made from a Cosabella bra. Merckwaerdigh also has some interesting styles. There's a new company called make Bra but I haven't tried any of their patterns yet.ReplyDelete
I agree with you about photographing panties, if they have any sort of coverage they look HUGE. I still post them anyway because other people find it very useful to see a real-life version.
I have made the Bras they are fun and easy. love the custom fit.ReplyDelete
I've been thinking I need to make myself a pair (or ten) of the betty panties. I haven't always been positive to high waist panties, but they just look so retro, sexy AND comfy!ReplyDelete

I am sewing this as I write this! I also had problems with the curved seams and had to make adjustments (thank god I made a muslin!). Because I'm not hippy at all, I reduced the curvature on the front/back panels as well as the side panel (more on the side panel).ReplyDelete
You're so right - sewing lingerie is addictive!
I'm so glad you posted this, I've been thinking about trying to sew underwear but have been so intimidated by the process. Is a serger necessary?ReplyDeleteReplies
Nope! You can definitely do it on a regular sewing machine. For the seams, you can use a mock overlock stitch or a narrow zigzag. Some people also suggest using a straight stitch, but stretch the fabric slightly as you sew, so that the seams retain some elasticity. Try a few samples on your fabric and see what works best for you!Delete
I've made OhhhLulu's ruffle panties (which are a dream to wear), but haven't done the high-waisted ones yet - give me about 10 years and a hubby who won't care what's on me! And I also used one of his old t-shirts for the crotch! Haha! I've also made bras with Anna Depew's Pauline Bra pattern and am looking for another pattern just to switch up the style a bit. But nothing is more comfortable than lingerie that really fits you!ReplyDelete
Oooh! How fun! Thank you for sharing the link for the pdf pattern. I'm always on the look out for high waisted patterns at estate sales but am never so lucky.ReplyDelete
Those high waisters look fab. Love the pin up look.ReplyDelete
Fab. Not something I would have thought of myself to be honest! :o)ReplyDelete
I love this pattern. I have made it up a few times already. I think it is sized very well. I even made one pair that is a regular/bikini-ish waistline by simply shortening the pattern pieces by about 4 inches. I love them! And my homemade underwear are much better quality than any I have bought in a long, long time, even though I am totally new to lingerie sewing. I posted a bunch of questions on Sarah's sew along posts, and she was very helpful and had lots of good tips. I'd love to see her get enough support that she could quit her day job and make lovely lingerie all day long! :)ReplyDelete
I've never worked with knit before. Would this be a good intro? I don't have a serger either but love hand sewing so serger may be optional with knits. I'm hoping so anyway.ReplyDelete
I think your changes make for a sexy looking panty because the emphasis on that hourglass shape is emphasised more. I like it.
Gertie, I look forward to reading more about the bra construction. Great job so far on the panties!!ReplyDelete
I seriously laughed out loud while reading this post. Oh my word. Too funny!ReplyDelete
You know....if more women went high waisted...there would be a whole lot less "muffin top" going on!
I love your blog. It's so fun and informative. I didn't realize there were so many sewing sites out there.ReplyDelete
- AlaskapsychAugust 2, 2012 at 3:33 PM
I just finished my first bra and it turned out ok. I love love love the fit! Next are knickers!ReplyDelete
These are adorable! It's nice to have some quick makes to when you've got a long one on the table eh (gosh that sounded a bit saucy hehehe) I love the little bows and the contrast panels, very, very sweet.ReplyDelete
These are nice panties! What fabric did you use??ReplyDelete
I can't stop laughing about what you said to Jeff about a crotch liner! I so want to say that to my husband, just to see the look on his face. ;)
I've been lusting after a retro bikini I saw a girl wearing on the beach a few weeks ago. Do you think this pattern (or the Ohh Lu Lu Ginger Body Suit Separates) could be used to make a bathing suit?ReplyDeleteReplies
OhhhLulu is just starting a sew-a-long for swimsuits if you go check out her blog.Delete
You can pretty much make any style of undergarment into swimwear if you use the correct type of fabric & notions - anything that dries quickly, is stretchy & chlorine resilient.
I love the panel design, seems like it would be very flattering! Definitely going to give that pattern a try.ReplyDelete
its really great to hear what you've done to change the pattern. I think that they still look super pretty in pictures! No one wants to post pics of them wearing panties, so we make do and admire the flat piccies and imagine how theyd look teeheheReplyDelete
This is a great post. Those hi-waist panties are a fun project that goes in a direction few of us are brave enough to venture: power on, I'm waiting breathlessly for the next installment!ReplyDelete
I cannot get enough of your posts! The black pair with the gingham bow are precious! What woman doesn't love a pair of flattering underwear?! :)ReplyDelete
Those knickers look great, I love high-waisted ones, so comfortable. I'm very tempted to try making a pair now, glad to know that this is a good pattern. I think I would probably have to take them in at the waist too, but I feel much more confident about that now, after seeing you adapting the pattern so fearlessly! Another inspirational post, thank you xxReplyDelete
Well, I am glad to see this post from you, Gertie, as I've been eyeing that pattern for a couple of weeks now. Yours are very pretty indeed (plus it is interesting to see your changes, as I'd probably have to adjust them too). Thanks for posting this!ReplyDelete
Love the gingham bow on the black ones! High waisted knicker are best for a lot of clothing, you can avoid the dreaded VPL ;)ReplyDelete
Wow! You blow my mind with another great post. Love your blog ;)ReplyDelete
- Ro MacDaddyAugust 3, 2012 at 3:01 AM
I love big pants, and I like them to fit snugly under the buttocks at the bottom, rather than cutting up over them. It's more comfortable and gives a better line under clothing. How does this pattern do in this respect? One of my upcoming projects is a wiggle dress (for which I shall be referring to your blog often!) and I will defo need some well fitting, beautiful, big pants for underneath. I think some adjustments will be required though. I have 41" hips and a 28" waist. :-D Who knows, I might be tempted to make a bra or two as well! :-)ReplyDeleteReplies
I would also like to know they fit, mainly if they fall under the buttocks. I have a full derrière and regular panties don't fit comfortably.Delete
I have the same waist to hip difference as Ro and I wonder if the panties are still easy to put on (meaning does the waist stretch enough)?
Thirdly, my waist is 31" and my hips 44-45" how would I go about enlarging the pattern, because it sadly doesn't have a big enough option (this while I'm just tall and have wide hips, not overweight)?
I have these patterns too and was planning on tackling the high waisted pant soon, as I've just completed my Bombshell dress - yay!ReplyDelete
I normally don't wear this style but it's so pin-up sexy isn't it? Thanks for your fitting tips and the giggle ^__^
I just about spit my coffee across my computer keyboard when I read this:ReplyDelete
"Are there any sexier words than "Baby, can I have one of your old shirts to use as a crotch liner?" I think not."
Thank you for the entertaining morning!!
- GayleneAugust 3, 2012 at 1:48 PM
These are beautiful - I love high waisted knickers! I wa just wondering where you get your lingerie fabrics. I live in the UK and have no idea where to go, but would happily buy from the US. Love the pix you released from your book...can't wait for the UK release!ReplyDeleteReplies
A great shop in the UK is http://www.englishcouture.co.uk/ she has all the elastic in every imaginable colour! you can also send her a swatch of a colour you want and they pack the matching trimmings.Delete
- GayleneAugust 4, 2012 at 8:28 AM
Thanks Fleur, just looked at the website, and it looks fab!!Delete
- AnonymousAugust 3, 2012 at 4:37 PM
You are my hero! I sooooo want to make myself some underwear, so thanks for showing yours. I would also like to make myself some bras. :DReplyDelete
(Don't know why it is signing me in as anonymous, if it still is...)
Oh, my! Gertie, you are a caution and a genius! I love that you had me, for a split second, thinking, "Hey! I'm gonna stitch me up some pin-up panties!" Reality check: if you make some mediums & put 'em on your etsy site, I'm in! ;) They are DARLING!!!!!ReplyDelete
Oh Gertie.... I should NOT have read this! I've been trying to stay away from making my own undies, but these are just too freaking adorable. I'm torn between being happy my sewing machines are packed for my move and wanting to unpack them so I can whip out a few pairs.ReplyDeleteReplies
- Sophie-LeeNovember 10, 2012 at 3:19 AM
I am exactly the same - my main machine SHOULD have been packed away a few weeks ago but I keep pulling it out "just to make one more skirt". I think it's lucky I would have to borrow my partners credit card to buy the patterns, and I don't have any of the supplies, or there would be half made knickers all over my sister-in-laws house (where we're staying while waiting to move)Delete
US folk are just super, but there is something about the word 'panties' that makes those of us from other English speaking nations cringe.ReplyDelete
Would you all consider stopping calling them that?
Here in Australia, they are underpants (both men and women call their nether garments that).
British women just call them pants and don't use that word for trousers, jeans etc.
Not sure, but I think kiwis call them undies.
So would you consider changing?
And what words do we use that that you hate?
- Ro MacDaddyAugust 4, 2012 at 9:09 PM
I'm Scottish and LOVE the word 'panties'. We also say 'knickers' and maybe 'scants' from time to time. Never 'underpants', not even for men, who wear 'boccies' here. :-)ReplyDelete
Are there any sexier words than "Baby, can I have one of your old shirts to use as a crotch liner?" I think not.ReplyDelete
LOLOLOL! Oh, that is awesome. Really, though, worn-out old t-shirts are incredibly soft. Now I know what to do with my old t-shirts: make crotch liners for panties!
Okay, so my sewing skills have a ways to go before I can sew knits and curved seams. But it's fun to think about. And I love your next post, too; the "one way ticket" to Panty Land just makes me giggle. :-)
Great post! It's wonderful to see that a person really can sew her own drawers (as we say here in the Deep South).
- AnonymousAugust 8, 2012 at 12:55 PM
These are so cute, especially for those of us who prefer more modest lingerie! One more thing to add to my project list.....ReplyDelete
- AnonymousOctober 23, 2012 at 9:23 PM
Love those large panties that fit where they're supposed to, at the waist. I can't stand thongs, boy shorts (awkward), g-strings. It's far better to leave more to the imagination and which convey a sense of innocence. Retro undies, or the real thing, are far sexier. I have particular fondness for the styles of the 1930 and 40s, including tap panties, side button panties, cuff (or band) leg rayon or nylon briefs, flare legs, shorty bloomers, with romantic touches of ribbon and lace. For comfort, I also like my cotton or nylon cuff leg Lollipop briefs, either for daywear or to sleep in.ReplyDelete
I would love to try the bali wirefree bra. Looks comfy!I have been looking for this. I loved to read your article. You must be putting a lot of time into your blog!ReplyDelete

COMMUNICATION Course Overview
"A man is as alive as he can communicate," L. Ron Hubbard wrote. And communication is a facet of life which he explored very deeply indeed, ultimately writing hundreds of thousands of words about this vital subject. Communication skills are essential in any sphere of human interaction. In fact, when all is said and done, on whatever level, communication is the sole activity all people share.
The benefits of effective communication are too numerous to list, for they enhance all aspects of life from the personal to the professional. The ability to communicate is vital to the success of any endeavor.
In this course you will learn what good communication consists of and how to recognize the bad, what the component parts of communication are and how to utilize them, and why more communication, not less, brings the individual greater freedom.
Also included in this course are numerous drills that Mr. Hubbard developed which improve one's communication level and have great practical application to life. A thorough understanding of this data will provide you with tools you can use forever.
Course Details

Success Stories
"We are all involved in some sort of communication in our day-to-day lives, but the real meaning of communication is what I learned in the online course from the Volunteer Ministers. By definition, I only knew that communication means getting across ideas and information to another person and for communication to take place, it should originate from an individual and be transmitted to another who receives it and acknowledges it.
"After completing this course, I learned the real purpose and importance of communication. I learned not only how to communicate effectively, but also how to get myself recognized by using an effective means of communication. I have also learned the cycles of one-way and two-way communication.
"This course definitely helped me to improve my work efficiency. I am a secretary in the healthcare sector and communication is one of my main duties. It was really of great benefit and was truly a great experience completing this course. I thank you, Volunteer Ministers, for providing this great opportunity."
"This booklet was most interesting in the sense that a person thinks 'I communicate in one way or another every day, what's more to learn?' Communication is crucial, and this booklet taught me exactly how to communicate effectively. What's more effective then saying what you mean, and actually being understood by other people?
"It taught me how to look for signs in other people that say they don't understand, and how to communicate properly so they will understand. It's so interesting that the book shows you different kinds of communication and teaches you how to improve on them as well as gives you the knowledge about them. So many people think that if they're talking, they're communicating, but there's so much more to it!"

"WHEN this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written (in Isaiah 25), Death is swallowed up in victory." And when is this corruptible to put on incorruption? When are the dead to be raised? "Every man in his own order. Christ the firstfruits; afterwards they that are Christ's at his coming." Could there be more decisive proof that the coming of Christ, the resurrection of the sleeping saints, and the change of those who are alive, the fearful judgements which are to destroy the wicked, and the commencement of the reign of Christ, are all indissolubly linked together? They are all comprised in, and constitute, the grand epoch to which everything is tending, and with which nothing in the history of man, or of the world, can compare.
JOHN THOMAS, The Faith in the Last Days, page 274.
1 Corinthians
15Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. Therefore whether it were I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed. Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead? But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen: And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain. Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not. For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised: And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins. Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished. If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming. Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him. And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all. Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead? And why stand we in jeopardy every hour? I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily. If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantageth it me, if the dead rise not? let us eat and drink; for to morrow we die. Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners. Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame. But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come? Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die: And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain: But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body. All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds. There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory. So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven. As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

This plastic window seal kit fits 1983, 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993 Ford Mustang Hatchback.
It's just a matter of time before the rubber parts on your vehicle start to break down and fall apart. External weatherstripping seals that are exposed to the elements, like the windshield gasket, or window beltline, get baked from the sun and will eventually get hard and crack. Door and window seals can do the same, but these gaskets also get squeezed and pushed around, which can cause them to deteriorate even faster. Seal deterioration can lead to transfer of excessive road noise and air into the cabin, or, worse yet, can allow water to get into the cabin. Once water gets in, it's just a matter of time before your vehicle's body panels start to rust, which can lead to bigger problems and more costly repairs.
Keep your vehicle's interior clean and dry by replacing worn out seals. Purchase this 1983-1993 Ford Mustang Convertible Quarter Window Molding Kit today from Raybuck Auto Body Parts.

Australia Population: 23,470,1451 VISITOR FROM HERE!
« Previous Country | Next Country » Back to Flag Counter Overview
|Prehistoric settlers arrived on the continent from Southeast Asia at least 40,000 years before the first Europeans began exploration in the 17th century. No formal territorial claims were made until 1770, when Capt. James COOK took possession of the east coast in the name of Great Britain (all of Australia was claimed as British territory in 1829 with the creation of the colony of Western Australia). Six colonies were created in the late 18th and 19th centuries; they federated and became the Commonwealth of Australia in 1901. The new country took advantage of its natural resources to rapidly develop agricultural and manufacturing industries and to make a major contribution to the Allied effort in World Wars I and II. In recent decades, Australia has become an internationally competitive, advanced market economy due in large part to economic reforms adopted in the 1980s and its location in one of the fastest growing regions of the world economy. Long-term concerns include an aging population, pressure on infrastructure, and environmental issues such as floods, droughts, and bushfires. Australia is the driest inhabited continent on earth, making it particularly vulnerable to the challenges of climate change. Australia is home to 10% of the world's biodiversity, and a great number of its flora and fauna exist nowhere else in the world.

Australia is an open market with minimal restrictions on imports of goods and services. The process of opening up has increased productivity, stimulated growth, and made the economy more flexible and dynamic. Australia plays an active role in the WTO, APEC, the G20, and other trade forums. Australia's free trade agreement (FTA) with China entered into force in 2015, adding to existing FTAs with the Republic of Korea, Japan, Chile, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, Thailand, and the US, and a regional FTA with ASEAN and New Zealand. Australia continues to negotiate bilateral agreements with Indonesia, as well as larger agreements with its Pacific neighbors and the Gulf Cooperation Council countries, and an Asia-wide Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership that includes the 10 ASEAN countries and China, Japan, Korea, New Zealand, and India. Australia is a significant exporter of natural resources, energy, and food. Australia's abundant and diverse natural resources attract high levels of foreign investment and include extensive reserves of coal, iron, copper, gold, natural gas, uranium, and renewable energy sources. A series of major investments, such as the US$40 billion Gorgon Liquid Natural Gas Project, will significantly expand the resources sector. For nearly two decades up till 2017, Australia had benefited from a dramatic surge in its terms of trade. As export prices increased faster than import prices, the economy experienced continuous growth, low unemployment, contained inflation, very low public debt, and a strong and stable financial system. Australia entered 2018 facing a range of growth constraints, principally driven by the sharp fall in global prices of key export commodities. Demand for resources and energy from Asia and especially China is growing at a slower pace and sharp drops in export prices have impacted growth.

Top 6 Energy Saving Features to Look for in a New Home
So maybe you're thinking about jumping on these record low interest rates, taking the plunge, and buying a new home? Congratulations! It's exciting, and there's so much to consider. And being the thoughtful, caring person that you are, you're probably looking into eco-friendly home options, which is wise.
Did you know that your home can account for more annual pollution than your car? It's true – up to 16% of national energy usage is attributed to housing. That's a big number, but you can slash your own contribution to a fraction of that, by keeping an eye out for energy-saving features as you shop for your next home. Here's my top six:
1. High-Performance Windows
Traditional windows account nearly 50% of all the heat lost from an average home. See why windows are important? Energy-efficient models use modern technology such as protective coating, extra panes, and better frames, which work in conjunction with proper insulation to keep air in. As a bonus, these special windows block harmful UV rays, which is great for your body as well as the integrity of your interior. No more strange colored spots left behind when you rearrange furniture!
2. Proper Insulation
Insulation in the floors, walls, and attic will keep the temperature constant – keep the heat out in the summer, and keep the cold out in the winter. Conversely, high-quality insulation ensures that your heating and cooling systems won't be overworked, which reduces overall energy usage.
3. Radiant Barriers
This amazing material will effectively reflect over 99% of infrared radiation away from your exterior walls. In other words, the heat-carrying rays will not penetrate your home, keeping the inside nice and cool. But this works in reverse as well – during the winter the barriers will keep the vast majority of heat from being lost, so your heater will also work less. Radiant barriers are incorporated into the insulation, in a setup called a reflective insulation system.
4. Quality Heating and Cooling with Updated Ducts
Modern, energy-efficient systems use less input and require less "work" to keep them running. They're also quieter and reduce condensation or moisture in the home. Speaking of moisture, it's important to make sure that every nook, cranny, crack, gap, or crevice in your ducts have been properly sealed. This will ensure that they're not becoming gateways for drafts, water, dirt, dust, mold, pollen, or pests. Keeping the system running smoothly maintains healthy air and saves on upkeep down the road.
5. Cool Roofs
The vast majority of roofs in America are made from dark tar or asphalt shingles. This may be aesthetically pleasing, but unless the roof is very well insulated, dark colored roofs can be heat magnets. Light-colored or reflective roofing materials cut down on heat absorption and can require less energy expenditure in the home underneath. A caveat: Even with "cool" roofing materials, the roof must be properly insulated and vented to be energy efficient.
6. Energy Saving Appliances
Look for the Energy Star official seal of approval on everything from dishwashers to washing machines, lighting fixtures to fans, and much more. This is the gold standard in efficiency, and is an absolute must in a modern, green home.
In fact, did you know that an entire home can collectively earn its own Energy Star stamp? Look for the official rating on new construction. Who said being green wasn't easy?

Dangerous Driving (1447A/23)
I would like to know how many people have been written up due to dangerous driving and what the outcome was; how many people were successfully prosecuted and how many weren't.
I would like the information for the following years:

- 2022
- 2023 (as up-to-date as you're able to provide)
Please find attached our response.
Please note that these data should be interpreted with caution. Comparing numbers of incidents/crimes can be misleading and does not necessarily indicate the likelihood of someone being a victim of crime. In addition, the number of incidents/crimes recorded in an area over a period of time can be influenced by a number of factors. Consequently statistics on incidents/crimes for one period may not necessarily be a good indicator of future incidents in that area.
Every effort is made to ensure that the figures presented are accurate and complete. However, it is important to note that these data have been extracted from a number of data sources used by forces for police purposes. The detail collected to respond specifically to your request is subject to the inaccuracies inherent in any large scale recording system. As a consequence, care should be taken to ensure data collection processes and their inevitable limitations are taken into account when interpreting those data.
The figures provided therefore are our best interpretation of relevance of data to your request, but you should be aware that the collation of figures for ad hoc requests may have limitations and this should be taken into account when those data are used.
If you decide to write an article / use the enclosed data we would ask you to take into consideration the factors highlighted in this document so as to not mislead members of the public or official bodies, or misrepresent the relevance of the whole or any part of this disclosed material.

Long ago, in the American West, settlers from the eastern seaboard would describe having yearned for the "far country". Their imagination and wanderlust led them to actualize their vision of a good life for themselves, their families, and their communities. The amount of time and effort involved in manifesting their goals and dreams was, of course, stupendous. Today, all of us have our own goals and dreams of a far country, a distinct yearning for the good health and ongoing well-being of our families and ourselves.
When we think about the action steps required to obtain such ongoing good health we primarily think about a healthy diet and a consistent program of regular vigorous exercise. The component of healthy living that we don't often consider is that of a positive mental attitude. But how we think, that is, the kind and quality of thoughts that we pay attention to throughout the day, has much to do with our health and welfare. As an example, most people are aware of the relationship between having so-called negative thoughts and experiencing outcomes in life that are less than desirable. A plethora of best-selling self-help books tell us that we need to develop the habit of thinking positive thoughts. But despite the abundance of this well-intentioned advice, most of us do not know how to successfully create such a beneficial internal environment.
The concept of mindfulness provides an effective solution. One of the goals of mindfulness training is for the person to become increasingly "present", that is, to become an integral part of this moment, rather than paying attention to thoughts regarding what is past or thoughts regarding what is to come. It's easy to see that such mindfulness, that is, being present, would require a great deal of practice. In contrast, for most of us, our thoughts are jumping around pretty much at the speed of light. The numerous and diverse thoughts pressing upon us in any instant pull us in multiple directions. However, it's important to realize that it is ourselves, our conscious intentions, who do the pulling. We are the ones who are choosing to be so distracted. Making the choice, moment by moment, to be focused on the here and now provides a powerful solution. Meditation, one of the practices of being present, is a powerful and freely available method for developing life-affirming mindfulness.1
No equipment is required in order to learn to meditate, other than a comfortable cushion or chair. You close your eyes and focus on your breath, imagining your breath going up your spine in the back on the inhalation and going down your spine in the front on the exhalation. That's it. After the first cycle of breathing you count "1" and add "1" to your count on each breath cycle until you reach "10". Then you begin again with "1". But if you notice your thoughts going to anything other than your breath, you start over again from "1". Even the most experienced meditators rarely get beyond the count of "4" or "5". The benefit is in the practice itself, not how far you can get in the count. The practice itself teaches you to be present and this is a benefit that will be of great value to you and how your interact with your family and the members of your community. Meditation practice will provide substantial assistance in your process of becoming healthy and well.2,3
