Health care sees them coming.
With the largest generation ever starting to crest the hill of old age, medical specialties that deal with older adults are getting ready for the inevitable onslaught. Baby boomers are starting to reach the stage in life when things start aching or stop working, when age starts to steal away progressively larger bits of physical and cognitive function.
"This is on absolutely everyone's radar, without a doubt," said Jennifer Ryan, a senior scientist in the field of cognitive neuroscience of memory at Baycrest, a Toronto teaching hospital that specializes in studies in aging and the brain.
"As scientists, we are aware of the approach of the baby boomers towards 65 and older. And funding agencies as well are very aware of the challenges that are going to arise as a result. People are working, I think, as fast as they can to really improve the lives of the boomers who are approaching that later stage in life."
The number of Canadians aged 65 or older grew by 14.1 per cent between 2006 and 2011, the latest census numbers released Tuesday show — a reflection of the fact the leading edge of the baby boom began turning 65 last year. Seniors accounted for 14.8 per cent of the country's population in 2011, up from 13.7 per cent five years earlier.
The number of people aged 60 to 64 grew at a rate of 29 per cent since the previous survey in 2006 — the fastest-growing age group in Canada. And the number of centenarians in Canada — people aged 100 or older — reached 5,825 last year, a whopping 25.7 per cent increase.
The preparatory work ranges from trying to predict the demand for medical specialists like the orthopedic surgeons who replace worn-out hip and knee joints, to devising screening tools to spot adults who are developing memory problems, to figuring out how to adapt living spaces so that aging boomers can safely stay in their own homes for as long as possible.
"Who wants to end up in a 200-square foot room with a cupboard? I mean, really," said bioengineer Geoff Fernie. "People are saying, 'No, I want something better."'
Not only are Canadians getting older, they're living longer, too. Statistics Canada's projections, based on medium growth, anticipate some 78,300 people in Canada living to the age of 100 by the year 2061.
Fernie is the research director at Toronto Rehab, a rehabilitation hospital and research institute affiliated with the University of Toronto. His team is working to solve the practical, day-to-day problems that can plague older adults. How do you use the toilet when you cannot lower yourself onto it or hoist yourself up? How can you shower safely? Is there footwear that can lower your risk of falling on the stairs or outside during the winter?
Fernie calls it "coming up with affordable things to help people manage." His team has already developed and marketed "Toilevator," a simple and inexpensive platform that raises a toilet to a level that's more accessible for those with stiff spines or stiff knees. Fernie's bioengineering team has a multitude of projects in the works that he said he believes boomers will need as they age.
"Once upon a time, people expected to end up in bed and be sick and die early and put up with things and be in misery," he said.
"And now they realize that just because you're old doesn't mean you have to put up with this stuff."
Ryan and others see the same challenge. The boomer generation isn't just a huge group of people. It's a huge group of people with attitude.
By dint of its size, the baby-boom generation is used to getting its own way. Boomers have had great expectations for their lives. And that isn't about to change just because they're becoming eligible for discounted bus fares.
"The baby boomers, I think, will not accept aging particularly well. They won't go grey any time soon. And I think that they have a value around preserving not just their looks, but I think their health as well," said Susan Kirkland, an epidemiologist in the department of community health at Dalhousie University in Halifax.
"What's unique about them is that they've kind of changed the face of health and health care all the way through their lives. And they're much different than previous generations in terms of how they deal with their health, what kind of services they expect and those kinds of things."
Kirkland is a principal investigator of a large national study that's recording the ups and downs of aging experienced by more than 50,000 Canadians over the next 20 years. The Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging is enrolling adults aged 45 to 85 with a view to getting a sense of how they are living as they age. What problems they are facing? How healthy are they? Are government policies helping or hindering their passage through the last phase of life?
She doesn't expect to see boomers accept the physical limitations of age the way previous generations did. And she's not alone. Orthopedic surgeons — the medical specialty that deals with bones and musculoskeletal problems like cartilage damage and ligament tears — are already seeing the impact of the baby boom generation.
"People are wanting joint replacements done earlier now," said Dr. Cy Frank, an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in knee surgery. "People are wanting them now when they're in their ... 40s and 50s, not in their 60s and 70s. So that's increased the demand."
That's the boomer generation. If something hurts, they are not going to grimace and bear it. These are not going to be the grandparents of old, with tight perms or bad comb-overs, pressing a bag of frozen peas to arthritic knees in the hope of some fleeting pain relief.
"They expect more. And they want to be fixed," said Frank, the executive director of the Alberta Bone and Joint Institute.
"They want things repaired or replaced so that they can continue to live long, happy lives."
Frank, meanwhile, is concerned there may not be enough specialists to handle the work. He recently applied for a grant to do some modelling to try to figure out how to address the coming demand. One of his favoured approaches is team work — orthopedic surgeons working with podiatrists and chiropractors, physiotherapists and occupational therapists to use resources rationally.
He also favours early intervention. If boomers can be taught to spot looming problems before they hit the crisis stage, rehabilitation or minimally invasive procedures could forestall major surgeries and should help keep boomers active longer, he said.
Ryan, too, sees early intervention as key to what is seen as one of the biggest problems the aging baby boomers may face — dementia.
Her field is working to develop better tools to screen for signs of memory loss that could be the early symptoms of Alzheimer's or other degenerative cognitive conditions. She foresees a time when aging adults are urged to schedule memory screening tests in the same way they are encouraged to undergo colon cancer screening or mammograms for breast cancer.
"The idea is if you can catch some problems really early, then maybe you have a better chance of intervening or providing some kind of rehabilitation or compensatory strategy in order so that people can manage this declining cognitive function or maybe even keep it from declining further," Ryan said.
"We want to slow down the decline."

WALTHAM, Mass. — Brandeis University senior outside hitter Si-Si Hensley (Fullerton, Calif./Troy) registered her second double-double of the season with 15 kills and 11 digs tonight to lead the Judges past visiting Wheaton College, 3-1, in Red Auerbach Arena tonight. Set scores were 25-16, 23-25, 25-15, 25-17. Brandeis evens their record to 6-6 with the win, while the Lyons fall to the same record.
Hensley's season-high 15 kills were second to junior outside hitter Liz Hood (Albuquerque, N.M./Albuquerque Acad.) for match-high honors. However Hensley did not make any errors in her 28 chances for a .536 hitting percentage, setting a career-high in the process. Hensley also tied for match-high honors with 11 digs and led all players with four service aces on the night.
In addition to Hood, who hit .229 (17 K, 9 E, 35 TA) on the evening, other statistical standouts for the Judges included junior libero Elsie Bernaiche (Plantsville, Conn./Southington) with 10 digs, sophomore setter Maggie Swenson (East Lyme, Conn./East Lyme) with 36 assists - a career-high - and senior Carly Gutner-Davis (Del Mar Calif./Canyon Crest Acad.) and rookie Jessica Kaufman (Tucson, Ariz./Cienega) who had three blocks each. Bernaiche and rookie Rachael Dye (Broomfield, Colo./Broomfield) each had three service aces as the Judges had 13 to just four for Wheaton.
The visitors were led by sophomore Dierdre Wilson (Aptos, Calif./Aptos) who finished with a triple-double. She had 12 kills and just two errors in 22 attempts for a .455 percentage, along with team-highs of 18 assists and 11 digs. Sophomore outside hitter Arieanne Creighton (Brookline, N.H./Hollis Brookline) added 11 kills, while classmate Page Gustofson (So. Lake Tahoe, Calif./South Tahoe) had 16 assists.
The Judges ran away with their three sets, using big runs to put away the Lyons. In a well-played first set that featured just six combined attacking errors - one by Brandeis and five by Wheaton - it was an 8-1 run that turned a 5-5 tie into a 13-6 lead. Bernaiche served a pair of aces in the string and Hensley capped it with a nice cross-court winner, as the Judges went on to win, 25-16.
In the second set, the largest lead was four at 16-12 for the Judges. It looked like Brandeis might hold off the visitors, but after trailing 22-19 following a Hensley kill and service ace, Wheaton closed the set on a 6-1 run, highlighted by a pair of Elise Waelder (San Diego, Calif./Point Loma) blocks. With a 25-23 win in the second set, the Lyons evened the match at 1-1.
Brandeis never looked back in the third, jumping out to a 6-1 lead on four early points by Hensley and two kills by Hood. The Judges never trailed in the set, leading by as many as 13 points at 21-9. Wheaton crept closer with a late 5-0 run, but a Hood kill made it 25-15.
In the fourth set, the squads were tied at five when a tip kill by Dye sparked an 8-2 Brandeis run. Wheaton called timeout after back-to-back service aces by Hensley made it 14-7, but the damage was done and the Judges cruised to a 25-17 win and the match.
Brandeis returns to action on Saturday with a tri-match featuring Emmanuel and Colby-Sawyer kicking off at 11 a.m. Wheaton opens NEWMAC play at WPI Saturday at noon, while also taking on Westfield State at 2 p.m.

Hertz employee describes killer, dies of gunshot wound | News
DULUTH, Ga. -- Gwinnett County Police are looking to the public to help find a man they believe shot and killed a Hertz Rental Car employee.
25-year-old Monique Marlowe was behind the store cleaning out a car when someone approached her, shooting her once in the abdomen. Once co-workers noticed she was missing, they went outside to check on Marlowe and found her bleeding on the ground.
Before she died, she was able to give police a brief description of the shooter: a black male wearing a blue shirt.
The shooting happened around 5:20pm near the intersection of Satellite Blvd and Merchants Way.
Despite happening in broad daylight near a busy intersection, police have very few clues and no eyewitnesses. They're asking for the public's help.
"Someone has to have seen something," said Gwinnett County Sgt. Rich Long. "We're counting on someone who might have been waiting on a bus, might have taken note of something unusual or seen someone walking from the direction of the Hertz to the bus station."
Hertz is directly beside the Gwinnett County Transit Center, near Gwinnett Place Mall and across the street from a QuikTrip gas station.
Police are looking for anyone in that area between 4:00pm and 5:30pm Friday. If you have information, please call 911 or Gwinnett Police at (770) 513-5333.

St. Martins smooth blend to drink without food. ⭐⭐⭐
More posts
- P F Chang Colby Red
- Mild wine, very nice. Would buy again, grade: B
- COLBY RED. A California Blend. After getting bored with misc $10-$14 doll or bottles of single grape wines, I have been trying Red blends. Up to the time of this bottle purchase($12), I began to believe that my search for palatable wines (in my budget range) was exhausted. Then the other day I was in Walgreens to get some things, when on the way out I passed these wines on a end cap (unusual). So I splurged $12, and now here I write about it, because this wine, has me ecstatic. What is to be said is what the label describes. Never has this happened , except when purchasing wines in the $80 and up range. The body is full and stays full for hours. The five grapes linger to enjoyment. I can write for a long time, but I will some this comment up in short, and say that there a 14 less bottles at that Walgreens today, because the are in my feller, being assured that there is a great amount of gorgeous Tannins to keep this wine for another 4-5 years. Another reason for the large purchase is that a portion of the profits a donated to the studies of heart health.
- Great buy

Liberty University's School of Engineering & Computational Sciences is growing at a rapid rate. The school's experienced faculty as well as its recent accreditation and technology upgrades have increased enrollment inquiries by 400 percent.
In Fall 2013, SECS received ABET accreditation for its computer science and computer engineering programs. Since SECS's electrical engineering and industrial & systems engineering programs were ABET accredited in 2012, this new accreditation ensures that 100 percent of its students will have graduated under an ABET-accredited program. ABET is the recognized accreditor of college and university programs in applied science, computing, engineering, and engineering technology.
The school continues to strengthen existing programs while seeking to add new ones that will both improve its academic standing and train students for an ever-changing job market.
The school received final approval from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges, the university's main accrediting agency, for a new master's program in cybersecurity. SECS is also awaiting approval for a mechanical engineering program, the single most requested engineering program.
To ensure that the leadership of SECS fulfills the school's potential for growth and continued innovation, David Donahoo was recently promoted to dean after serving as interim dean for 18 months.
"Donahoo is a highly effective leader who was able to coalesce his faculty into a harmonious working team," said Dr. Ron Godwin, Liberty's provost and senior vice president for Academic Affairs. "Enrollment and retention have significantly improved, and under his leadership several programs secured ABET accreditation."
SECS clubs have also demonstrated the school's commitment to excellence. The Cyber Defense Club had an outstanding showing at the National Cyber League Fall Season competition, claiming the top three spots in the Gold Bracket out of 945 participants.
Students competed in the tournament on Oct. 19 and 26, against more than 100 institutions across the nation, including James Madison University, Radford University, North Carolina State University, San Diego State University, Texas A&M, and West Virginia University.
Brandon Kreisel took first place overall, with Hannah Kirse winning second, Jeremiah Brown finishing third, and Joshua Eto placing 10th. Matt Johnson posted a top 10-caliber score but was ineligible for competition because he did not participate in a previous ranking exercise. All five students are seniors.

That's the 5th time Sehwag's hit a first ball four, hasn't he? Tone setting indeed.
citoyens, vouliez-vous une révolution sans révolution?
Kind of shows that Steyn,despite being a top drawer bowler,will struggle when you go after him.Maybe teams should do that in test matches too.
What's going on here? Amazingly shoddy stuff from SA.
Steyn is miles ahead of Anderson.But still,.Someone with such a phenomenal test record,has a seriously average ODI record.You expect it to be good atleast.
Or maybe just isn't as good as he is made out to be?Just saying.

Aswhin is clearly not part of the teams plans =\. Pity really.
The part on whether or not he is as good as he is made out to be,was just just something i asked from someone who might have followed him more than i have,and not necessarily something i agreed or disagreed with.
Most people are in agreement here that Steyn is an average ODI bowler. Unrelated for the most part to his bowling in tests.
That was a good ball. He just stood and hit it.
-My beliefs summarized in words much more eloquent than I could come up with
How the Universe came from nothing
Also lol@teamselections. Why do teams try their hardest to pick their weaknesses instead of their strengths?
I think Steyn, like Anderson, is just somewhat lose when bowling in ODIs. Doesn't fit their natural game, it seems like they can't figure out if they should be trying to take wickets every ball or bowling line and length over and over. *shrug*
Maybe Steyn and Anderson are just easier to hit with the white ball.
Morkel 3 overs for 22. Wow. Viru on fire.

A surprise Wimbledon champion one day, a retired player providing TV commentary the next, nobody's been in touch with the fickle nature of tennis in 2013 better than Marion Bartoli.
NEW YORK (AP) ? A surprise Wimbledon champion one day, a retired player providing TV commentary the next, nobody's been in touch with the fickle nature of tennis in 2013 better than Marion Bartoli.
So, when asked if Serena Williams was a shoo-in to defend her title at the U.S. Open, which starts Monday, Bartoli's answer came as little surprise.
"In sports, at the end of the day, you can't write the story before it's over," she said.
Given all that's transpired in the lead-up to the year's final major, it would be foolish to try:
?There was the sudden retirement of Bartoli, the 28-year-old from France who realized a few weeks after Wimbledon that her body couldn't take the pounding anymore.
?There was the withdrawal of Maria Sharapova, ailing with a sore right shoulder and also still spinning from a whirlwind partnership with Jimmy Connors, who she hired, then fired, as her coach, after playing only one match.
?There was that strange, crooked number placed next to Roger Federer's name: a "7'' ? worst seeding at the U.S. Open for the five-time champion since 2002.
?And there was the sudden reemergence of Rafael Nadal, who, for the last year-plus, has made headlines with his injuries and early exits (along with, of course, another French Open title) but finds himself with a 10-0 record on hard courts in the lead-up to the U.S. Open.
"Nobody in my family, my team who is close to me seven months ago, thought about a comeback like this," Nadal said. "I feel very lucky. I feel very happy to be in this position."
Second-seeded Nadal, who missed last year's U.S. Open with an injured knee and the 2013 Australian Open with a stomach virus, came back to win the French Open, then was bounced from Wimbledon in the first round, opens his 2013 stay at Flushing Meadows on Monday with a match against American Ryan Harrison.
Federer plays Grega Zemlja in the day's last match at Arthur Ashe Stadium. Top-seeded Williams begins the night session against Francesca Schiavone.
Also on court Monday are fourth-seeded David Ferrer and, on the women's side, 16th-seeded Sabine Lisicki. Lisicki knocked off Williams at Wimbledon, though her last appearance on a grand stage had her dissolving in tears during a 6-1, 6-4 loss to Bartoli in the final at the All England Club.
The Lisciki-Bartoli final at Wimbledon seemed to come out of nowhere and, now, almost everyone in the 128-woman draw at the U.S. Open has to believe she has a chance.
"I think it's fair to say that there are a bunch of players that are capable of winning Grand Slams and capable of doing great things out here," said 11th-seeded Samantha Stosur, who defeated Williams in the 2011 final. "That hasn't always been the case."
The men's game hasn't been nearly as unpredictable.
Federer, Nadal, Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic have won 33 of the last 34 majors dating to 2005.
Third-seeded Murray is the defending champion and coming off a career-defining win at Wimbledon. Top-seeded Djokovic has appeared in the last three U.S. Open finals.
Federer? He hasn't been to the final since 2009, when he lost to Juan Martin del Potro. His year has been slowed by an aching back, an unsuccessful experiment with a new racket, a second-round exit at Wimbledon and the slow, steady decline of his ranking.
His struggles may very well stand out as the biggest surprise of all in 2013, but at 32, Federer thinks he might have one more to spring on tennis fans.
"People are going to say what they like," he said. "Important is that I concentrate on my game and that the passion is there, that I work the right way, that I'm prepared, and that I feel like I can win a tournament."

Research Findings and Tips for Parents
On December 21 the National Rifle Association (NRA) blamed the media for promoting violent video games and movies and then cited these phenomena as the primary causes of mass violence. The assertion that violent video games and movies cause violent behavior has not been demonstrated by scientific research. Youth who have aggressive traits and are stressed are more prone to delinquent and bullying behavior, and are also drawn to these games, but their behavior in real life is not predicted by playing the games. All youth are protected from violence in the world by close, supportive relationships with parents and peers. There are a small percentage of youth, perhaps 5% who are at risk of engaging in violent behavior.
There has been extensive research and writing on the impact of violent movies and videos on behavior in kids. But research is clearly lacking on a direct causal relationship between violent video games and youth violence. Analyses of school shooting incidents from the U.S. Secret Service and the Federal Bureau of Investigation National Center for the Analysis of Violent Crime do not support a link between violent games and real world attacks.
In 2004, a team of Mass General researchers led by Dr. Cheryl Olson studied 1,254 7th and 8th graders and 500 parents in South Carolina and Pennsylvania, looking at what kids were playing, how much time they played, and the possible relationship to delinquent behavior. They found that many of these kids played violent games; two-thirds of 14 year-old boys played at least one violent game often versus a quarter of the girls surveyed. The researchers also found that kids played games to cope with their emotions, to enjoy challenging situations, to keep up with peers playing similar games, to create their own worlds, and to relieve stress.
There were correlations between playing violent games and self-reported physical fights and delinquent behavior, particularly with greater amounts of time played. However, this was only true in a small percentage of children who already exhibited aggressive traits and a high stress level. They found that the traits of aggression and stress were predictive of delinquent behavior and bullying and not the playing of violent video games themselves. Researchers also found that parent involvement and parent/peer support seemed to be protective of these negative behaviors.
However, there seems to be a relationship between about five to six percent of kids who get into trouble, sometimes violent, and the amount of time playing violent games. There were no causal relationships found between violent games and violent behavior, just correlations, and this could mean there are other things in life that may be involved.
Problems also exist in the research about violent movies. Most of the science is not very good. However, in the few sound studies, there was also an apparent relationship between the time watching violent TV or movies and aggressive acts in real life – but only for a small percentage of kids and young adults. There seems to be a greater effect on younger children who cannot tell the difference between fantasy and reality. It also appears that when violence is coupled with an attractive movie star and combined with sexuality, the impact appears to be stronger.
The bottom line is that for violent movies and video games, we just do not know the relationship between viewing or playing and aggression in the real world. Research to date does not inform us. But we should be concerned and wary of risks.
Advice for Parents
Here are some tips for parents when they consider their kids video game playing and movie watching:

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Four MIT football players were named to the Capital One Academic All-District team the College Sports Information Directors of America announced today. Senior defensive end Tyler Wagner (Bel Air, Md.), junior offensive lineman Ethan Peterson (Rutland, Vt.), sophomore Rhys Borchert (Pocatello, Idaho) and sophomore quarterback John Wenzel (Mandeville, La.) were the Engineers selected for the honor. The four will now advance to the Capitol One Academic All-America ballot, from which first, second and third team All-America honorees will be selected later in November.
Wagner is a National Football Foundation 2011 Scholar-Athlete nominee and was an academic All-New England Football Conference pick in 2010. He finished the 2011 season second on squad among defensive linemen in tackles and was tied for third on the team in tackles for loss with a career best 4.0. Selected as a Paul E. Gray researcher at MIT, he received funding for MIT's International Genetically Engineered Machines competition team.
A three-year starter on the offensive line, Peterson was an All-NEFC pick in 2010. An academic All-NEFC selection in 2010, he has played in every game during his MIT career and has helped clear the way for a 2011 rushing attack that increased its output by over 30 percent from a year ago.
One of MIT's starting safeties, Borchert finished third among safeties in tackles for MIT in 2011. One of the team's primary kick returners, he finished eighth in the NEFC in average kick return yards. As a student at MIT he has conducted nanofluids research at the Institute's Green Center for Physics.
MIT's starter at quarterback all season, Wenzel ranks in the top-10 in the NEFC in passing yards per game and total offense, throwing for over 1,100 yards and eight touchdowns in 2011. Already among the all-time passing leaders at MIT, he was also the team's starting punter in 2011. On campus he has performed research in human factors engineering MIT's AgeLab to translate technologies into practical solutions to improve people's health.

int wadd_wchnstr(WINDOW *win, const cchar_t *wchstr, int n);
The add_wchstr() function copies the string of cchar_t characters to the stdscr window at the current cursor position. The mvadd_wchstr() and mvwadd_wchstr() functions copy the string to the starting position indicated by the x (column) and y (row) parameters (the former to the stdscr window; the latter to window win). The wadd_wchstr() is identical to add_wchstr (), but writes to the window specified by win.
The add_wchnstr(), wadd_wchnstr(), mvadd_wchnstr(), and mvwadd_wchnstr() functions write n characters to the window, or as many as will fit on the line. If n is less than 0, the entire string is written, or as much of it as fits on the line. The former two functions place the string at the current cursor position; the latter two commands use the position specified by the x and y parameters.
These functions differ from the addwstr(3XCURSES) set of functions in two important respects. First, these functions do not advance the cursor after writing the string to the window. Second, the current window rendition (that is, the combination of attributes and color pair) is not combined with the character; only those attributes that are already part of the cchar_t character are used.
Is a pointer to the cchar_t string to be copied to the window.
Is the maximum number of characters to be copied from wchstr. If n is less than 0, the entire string is written or as much of it as fits on the line.
Is the y (row) coordinate of the starting position of wchstr in the window.
Is the x (column) coordinate of the starting position of wchstr in the window.
Is a pointer to the window to which the string is to be copied.
On success, these functions return OK. Otherwise, they return ERR.
See attributes(7) for descriptions of the following attributes:
add_wch(3XCURSES), addnwstr(3XCURSES), attr_off(3XCURSES), libcurses(3XCURSES), attributes(7), standards(7)

Battling for jobs with millions of other new graduates, Chinese students are turning to plastic surgery for an advantage — with one clinic offering noses inspired by the Eiffel Tower.
Chinese employers can be frank about their preference for attractive job candidates — sometimes even posting height requirements in recruitment adverts.
With a record seven million graduates entering the job market this year, combined with a growth slowdown, China's state-run media dubbed 2013 the "toughest ever year" for would-be white-collar employees.
Now surgeons across the country say that increasing numbers of students are going under the knife in the hope of boosting their prospects, expanding a cosmetic surgery market that is already the third-largest in the world.
Dozens of plastic surgery clinics have plastered advertisements across the southwestern city of Chongqing, with posters promoting surgeon Wang Xuming's "Eiffel Tower" procedure showing the shape of a well-sculpted nose next to the French landmark's gentle curve.
"We've been influenced by the beauty of the Eiffel Tower, we don't just add to the nose, but rebuild it," said Wang, adding he performs around a dozen such operations each month.
Nip and tuck
A Chinese government-backed drive to expand the country's university system has seen its ranks of universities and colleges more than double in the past decade, according to official statistics.
But a shortage of white-collar jobs means that hundreds of thousands of graduates end up unemployed every year. About 10 percent of recent university graduates are unemployed, more than double China's official unemployment rate for the general population, according to a June survey by MyCOS, a Beijing based education consultancy.
"Some students face a lot of employment pressure after graduation, if their facial features are good, they'll have more chance of finding a job," said Wang.
"We've had students getting the Eiffel nose, it's helped them a lot."
China stands behind only the US and Brazil for the number of plastic surgery operations performed each year, according to the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons.
China's middle class helped the sector grow up to 40 percent annually in recent years, state broadcaster CCTV said.
Xu Yang, 26, said she underwent liposuction this year partly to help her find a job.
"I was fat. [But] after surgery, finding a job can be easier," she said. "Employers sometimes care more about your appearance than your experience, especially for white-collar jobs."
At the Chongqing hospital, Wang washed his hands before operating on a patient he identified as a 33-year-old ballet dancer.
After putting her under anesthetic, he cut a piece of tissue from the patient's forehead before reinserting it into her nose to make it bigger.
The clinic's customers are almost exclusively female and their families often foot the bill, said a hospital manager who gave her surname as Li.
"They usually come in with their mothers, and tend to be from well-off backgrounds," she said.
The Eiffel Tower nose — which costs around RMB$60,000 yuan (US$9,800) — is only loosely connected to the 19th century structure, she added.
"The Eiffel is a classic building, full of aesthetic design, we try to combine medicine and art," she explained. "We hope the noses will turn out as classics, taking on the feeling of the Eiffel Tower."

I'm working on a program that has a Person class and a Business class. My program should track people and businesses that donate to a cause. So a donor can be either a Person or a Business but not all Persons and Businesses are donors. I still want to have objects for the people and businesses that do not donate so I don't ask them again.
I don't want to do a PersonDonor class and a BusinessDonor class that extend Person and Business respectively since much of the code would be redundant. But since Person wouldn't be an "is-a" relationship with Donor, I don't feel Person and Business should extend Donor.
I'm just not sure the best way to design this. Should I make donor an interface and have Person and Business implement it?

Big Agriculture flexes its muscle
Congress holds the purse strings, but who holds Congress these days when it comes to farm policy: the meatpackers and Monsanto?
So it seemed last week as lawmakers sent the White House an updated budget for the Agriculture Department complete with industry-backed orders on how Secretary Tom Vilsack should run the place.
Story Continued Below
The Post-it notes from the packers were hard to miss.
Alarmed that automatic spending cuts this month will slow plant operations, the meat lobby won a last-minute Senate amendment that cuts from a new White House-backed school breakfast program in order to ensure there will be enough money to keep food safety inspectors on the job this summer and avoid disruptions.
At the same time the industry went in the opposite direction, denying funds in the Ag budget for implementing reforms sought in the 2008 farm bill to provide greater protection for less powerful ranchers and farmers who raise the animals for slaughter.
Money is again denied to proceed with rules favored by Western cow-calf operations in their battle with beef packers. In the case of poultry, the bill goes a big step further, literally ordering Vilsack in 60 days to rescind regulations adopted last year to protect growers under contract with the big chicken processors.
Even the typically conservative American Farm Bureau opposed this last action. And proponents would argue that the doomed poultry rules were never more than minimal protections for growers, such as requiring 90-day notice before a contract is canceled by a packer.
"It's almost as if the poultry companies are sending the signal through Congress: "'you can't touch us,'" said Steve Etka, who represents a coalition of growers.
"It doesn't get much lower than that," said Mike Weaver, a 61-year-old West Virginia chicken farmer. "They should all be ashamed. Anyone who could do that doesn't have much integrity or soul."
The orders to Vilsack on genetically modified seeds are more subtle but potentially far reaching.
In no uncertain terms, the amendment tells the secretary how he must respond the next time a court order challenges one of Monsanto's genetically modified seeds for which the St. Louis-based giant is a pioneer in commercializing.
The real life impact is unclear as the underlying spending bill expires Sept. 30. But Monsanto gets a foot in the door toward mandating some type of stewardship program under which farmers can continue to plant its seeds as the court fight continues.
The language is unusually strong: the secretary "shall, notwithstanding any other provision of law… immediately grant" temporary permits to continue using the seed at the request of a farmer or producer wanting such a stewardship program.
Monsanto's lobbying papers say the goal is to allow "continued cultivation in the interim period" subject to protections that "fairly balance any environmental concerns with the needs of the farmers." In this regard, proponents argue that the proposal is consistent with what some courts have done themselves in the past, and Monsanto successfully expanded support among farm groups looking for greater certainty as well.
Nonetheless the sweeping mandate exposes the company to the charge of "court-stripping."
The Center for Food Safety, a Washington-based nonprofit which has been waging its own guerrilla war with the biotech industry, denounced the Monsanto measure as "corporate welfare" and a backroom deal. "Monsanto flexed its muscle and won," said attorney Bill Snapes, who serves as counsel to the Arizona-based Center for Biological Diversity.
Vilsack's own reaction suggests he has doubts about the amendment's legal standing.
"Secretary Vilsack has asked the Office of General Council to review this provision," the department told POLITICO, "As it appears to pre-empt judicial review of a deregulatory action which may make the provision unenforceable."

A few things I want to teach Nora - off the top of my head
This is based on situations I've had in the past while.
1) Women can have any job they want even in a male-dominated field, same thing for men in female-dominated fields.
She has a tendancy to talk about things that are broken or being built by saying they will be fixed/built by "des monsieurs" literally "sir's/misters" or generally "men". So I have had to explain to her that even if we often see men working on construction sites or fixing things, that women could do it too! It hasn't really come up to talk to her about men doing a female job but being an educator at the garderie would be a good one I can speak to her about since men there only come in to fix stuff!
2) Even if "it's your's" or "you had it first", you should still share or give up your turn or privilege for another.
I wouldn't push her but I nudger her and encourage her towards generosity when possible. Forcing her would be injustice and so not something I would do.
3) Two men or two women can be a family together. It's different than the norm, but that doesn't make it wrong or any reason to judge or ridicule.
This has only come up once and she was not phased by the images, but I still took the opportunity to tell her it's OK, just different than us with our mommy, daddy, child family.
4) That she is lucky to have everything she has. To be grateful.
I will tell her this when she gets gifts or a person is thoughtful towards her. Also have tried to make her see the positive in a bad situation in a very child way. Being lucky that her booboo was not bigger or bleeding when she scratched herself and lucky that it will heal very soon.
5) Being open to people of different skin colour, culture, religion, language.
This has not been hard - afterall her mom and dad have different skin colour and different languages from each other. I have gotten her dolls of different hair and skin colour and gotten her dolls dressed in ethnic clothing. I allow her to dress as she wishes when she goes out for the most part and don't worry her about if it looks good, it matches, etc. She wears dress-up clothes out and tiaras too when we shop if she wants. Basically, I want her to be able to be open to others as they are, as well as herself as she really is instead of feeling forced to conform or finding others who don't conform weird. These things all tie in a little with being open-minded to other beliefs and styles.
This was just a little taste of things I think about as a parent to a 4 year old. New challenges and opportunities to teach to come!! I can only hope to deal with them well so that my daughter grows up a kind, compassionate, open-minded, loving person. :)

Dolls Kill
Dolls Kill is a online fashion store featuring foxtail keychains. These keychains are being worn by celebrities as seen on the 'stalkin page of our website: http://www.dollskill.com/index.php/…view/?id=3
Young, Hip, Artsy Female audience.
Hello I am in need of some banner designs for use on our fashion website. The site itself is very clean with lots of black and white except for the images; I think having a bit of color splashed in the banners may look good as long as it is tastefully done. The site is http://www.dollskill.com
I think for the most part the banners will be used in vertical format on the sidebar but I would like to see horizontal versions as well. Here is a site with example sidebar ads where you can get the exact dimensions from:
The height can vary and I will leave it up to you to decide how tall the sidebar banner should be.
Feel free to lift any of the pictures from the website itself. You can find the pictures of the products in each product page. Font should match the rest of the site.
The following static banners are needed - these are the suggested wordings. Please feel free to change copy as well:

1x Free shipping on with any 2 foxtail order (I suggest using a picture of 2 foxtails so visually they know that buying 2 foxtails will give them free shipping)

Where did the spotted thread go?

Do we have those already?
Where did the spotted thread go?

09 TDI Jetta some stuff done to it
07 Fahrenheit GLI SOLD
Why didn't they get the Golf front end? I don't get it? The sportwagen got it. I will never really truly understand VW. I mena I get they want the cars to be different, but that front end on the Golfs is so nice.
Is it sacrilicious to say I like their looks more than the MK5 Jetta...
and seeing as how this appears to be the only spotted thread going.
I saw a blue Quantum wagon on Lincoln between 12th-13th, looked good with euro head lights and BBS RA's!

Spotted a black mk5 gti with black wheels on I25 Thursday night, i was in the green Corrado.
black cabby with bright green wheels on 36e this morning
Just saw Trevors old mk2 vr6 parked at Lincoln & 3rd

the MK6 Jetta is TITS! (bring on the hate ) a MILLION times better than the MK5. It no longer looks like a guppy and corolla mated and then dropped the baby on its head one too many times.
I will say, for those that think VWOA failed on the outside, they failed hard core on the interior. its VERY American and plasticy... and drum brakes on the TOP MODEL SEL...
BUT all in all. its a TON better than that sad excuse for a jetta they called the mk5.
Yeah, mk6 Jettas are so cool they have 2.slow 8 valves and drum brakes available.
The build quality is a joke. Take a look at the underside of the trunk lid for example. Toyota Corolla-esque
Garbage!! Come on VW.............Mopar vans and now this??!
89 golf gl ~ 08 passat gl~ 11 touareg gl
^^^ agreed, the build quailty on the inside is horrendous and cheap, thats what you get for building in america .
but the exterior is soooo much better than the mk5. I would still rather drive a mk6 than be caught dead in a mk5. The pure ugliness of the mk5 totally overpowers any wrong doing in the mk6.
But you cant bash on the 2.0 and the drum brakes. ya its a dog of a motor, BUT it makes it so you can buy a new jetta for 14k. and really, unless you are in a performance car, having drums on the rear is not any worse than having tiny rear discs.
Do the European Jetta 6's have the rubbish interior as well, or just the American spec cars?
More stuff owners here will be looking to ship across the ocean and retrofit...
Nope, check it out.
CC style stitching on the seats. We always get the shaft.

Buying the Cumpiano book will be a small but necessary part of your expenses. He had good plans in the book - if you want to build something else then, again, plan to spend the money to buy good plans. Oh, and plan to follow them.
And don't think that you will be selling your first guitar - with luck you will build a serviceable and playable instrument and you will learn a lot that will apply to your second and third and... When I got up to about 6 I gave a couple away to family, after about 15 I finally decided to sell a few for basically what I had in them (and maybe a six pack).
My first couple were built from kits (figure 500 bucks or so) but the big advantage is that several operations are done for you which require special tools (bending sides, mitering the fretboard, planing the plates). As I progressed I bought more and more tools (and more books and more plans)
Be realistic about this and enjoy the ride
I am realistic, I wasn't really broke when i bought the mats and I don't want a cheap guitar. I'm convinced that I'm going to make a great guitar, wood working is in my blood

Rolls-Royce, which nowadays primarily manufactures turbine engines after selling its car business to BMW, wants to introduce autonomous ships to the $375 billion-per-year shipping industry, reports Bloomberg.
Unmanned drone ships would operate via GPS to make it easier, safer, and more affordable to get cargo to its intended destination as there's no human crew to feed or house. Moore Stephens LLP, a shipping industry accountant and consultant, told Bloomberg that "crew costs of $3,299 a day account for about 44 percent of total operating expenses for a large container ship.
Unsurprisingly, unions hate this idea. Dave Heindel, chairman of the ITF's seafarers' section in London, writes:
It cannot and will never replace the eyes, ears and thought processes of professional seafarers. The human element is one of the first lines of defense in the event of machinery failure and the kind of unexpected and sudden changes of conditions in which the world's seas specialize. The dangers posed to the environment by unmanned vessels are too easily imagined.
The prospect of a drone ship is well within our technological reach, but it's the legal ramifications of sending a captain-less ship out to sea that have some taking pause.
In order to get around this, the European Union is sponsoring a $4.8 million study called MUNIN, short for Maritime Unmanned Navigation through Intelligence in Networks. It's a GPS-based system that would prevent drone ships from veering off course and would in general keep things running safely. In the diagram below, MUNIN catches sight of the smaller ship well in advance, identifies that it will crash if it stays on the same course, then reroutes, following the green arrow to prevent an accident.

A coupon company for the web is not a new idea. But Ryan Hudson, who has spent over a decade building companies, has found a way to wow investors.
In 2005, Hudson was featured in Businessweek's "Top Young Entrepreneurs Of Tech" alongside Mark Zuckerberg. He's been creating businesses for nearly a decade including four in the past year or two. But he says he's never seen one take off like his latest venture, Honey.
Honey is a Chrome extension that surfs the web for discounts at the exact moment you're checking out of an e-commerce store.
Before you blow it off, let us explain.
Upon check-out, most e-commerce sites ask if you have a promo code. That's when you realize you're getting ripped off. Many people open a second browser window and hunt for a discount code before making the purchase. The first search result is usually RetailMeNot, a coupon code site. Then they have to dig through a list of suggested codes, many of which no longer work. Most come up empty handed and they may be so discouraged, they never complete their purchase.
But if you install Honey, Honey does that extra coupon-hunting work for you without ever leaving the store's site.
Next to the promo code bar, a golden Honey bar will appear that says "Find Savings." It surfs the web for discount codes and tries multiple ones in just a few seconds.
If it doesn't work, you know you're not missing out on anything. And if it does work, then you're happy you tried.
Honey launched just before Thanksgiving. One of its bug testers on Mechanical Turk was so excited about the product, he leaked it to Reddit in advance. It took off and Hudson's team held its breath, hoping Honey wouldn't crash.
Now Honey has 125,000 installs, all on Chrome, and 97,000 of those are actively using it every week. Honey works on more than 400 sites, and it has hundreds of other e-commerce companies back-logged (there's only so much Hudson and his one other full-time employee can do). Hudson says it's one of the Chrome store's top ten apps with little to no marketing support. His Chrome extension has already saved users more than $108,000.
"The type of traffic we're seeing is hugely organic," Hudson says. "It's actual word of mouth marketing. People are typing in our url directly."
Hudson is currently raising a round of financing and investors seem to be impressed. Hudson says he was in San Francisco last week and nine out of nine investor meetings were successful. As in, each angel or institutional investor either committed money on the spot, or scheduled a second meeting with other partners in the firm.
Investors might like Honey, but we're not sure e-commerce sites will. They're probably happy to have their discount codes hidden. But Hudson thinks there are enough benefits that they might like Honey. For one, it keeps people from leaving checkout pages. In addition, sites pay coupon sites to refer traffic to them. But very few people actually start their shopping experience on sites like RetailMeNot. So the lead-generation fees e-commerce sites pay are often unnecessary.
While Honey is busy saving people money, it isn't quite sure how it will turn a profit. It doesn't take a cut of any of the money people save. Maybe someday it will. All Hudson is sure of is that he should be putting gas on this fire.
"Nothing I've launched has ever hit like this," he says.

Bullying Behaviour
The Bullying Intervention Toolkit
Aims to provide schools with a range of effective bullying intervention strategies. The strategies are all solution focused, encourage individuals to make pro-social choices, avoid labeling and aim to educate and heal, rather than punish.
The authors believe that no one intervention for bullying works best in all circumstances. Effective intervention occurs when teachers have a range of strategies, with the accompanying knowledge and skills to know when - and when not - to use them.
Making a choice about which approach to use is critical to the success of the intervention. The authors provide guidance to help make this choice, along with facilitator notes and detailed scripts.

Access the full report here: Fundamental rights: challenges and achievements in 2012 >>
"The EU and its Member States have over the years successfully built a robust fundamental rights infrastructure. However, in many areas, both the EU and Member States can, and must, still do better," says FRA Director Morten Kjaerum. "Our latest annual report shows that the current crisis is also a test for fundamental rights, and has implications for democratic legitimacy and the rule of law."
Examples of issues in this year's report include:
- An EU Directive establishing minimum standards on the rights, support and protection of victims of crime was adopted. Member States are taking measures to ensure that victims have access to confidential victim support services;
- The impact of budget cuts on education, healthcare and social services for vulnerable groups, such as children;
- Roma continue to face discrimination and social exclusion, with many living in deep poverty and lacking access to healthcare and decent housing;
- The EU is driving forward efforts to reform the EU's data protection framework, the most far‑reaching reform of EU data protection laws in 20 years;
- The EU pushed ahead with the increased use of databases and IT tools for border management and visa processing, and successfully negotiated asylum instruments which were under review. Following the implementation of the Return Directive, many EU Member States have introduced alternatives to detention in national law. However, figures indicate that alternatives are being used effectively only in some countries in practice. In others, detention remains the most frequent measure taken for persons in return procedures;
- Some Member States took further measures to combat racism and xenophobia through criminal law. These included ensuring that the criminal code better recognises crimes motivated by racism, xenophobia and related intolerances, or through introducing enhanced penalties for crimes motivated by such biases.
- As 2012 was Year of Active Ageing the EU also focused on the challenges and obstacles facing older people, including those with disabilities.

English Teacher
Dear teachers,
Will you please advise which course is better between these two and why?
Secondly,i have a profound desire to study Teaching English as a Foreign language.
pls advise with relevant suggestions.
warm rgds
TESOL is not a particular recognised qualification- many different places offer courses called that, so check the provider carefully.
I am not a beginner.I did the CAMBRIDGE HIGHER SCOOL CERTIFICATE and was very successful.
Now, shall i opt for CELTA or TESOL/TEFL.
Pls advise asap.
My second question is about TKT(teaching knowledge test) is it similar to CELTA or TEFL/TESOL?
I don t want to go in the wrong direction.
Pls help and it is very urgent.
Thks for all ur helps.

Thks for all ur helps.
Again, TESOL and TEFL are simply acronyms that were in use and are now being used by course providers. They do not mean any particular course or qualification. Some sites do talk about the TESOL as if it were a qualification like CELTA, but it is used for all sorts of in-house courses and suchlike, so it would depend entirely on which course using that term you were interested in.
It is my understanding (and I may be wrong) that the CAMBRIDGE HIGHER SCHOOL CERTIFICATE is NOT a teaching qualification. When I talked about being a beginner it was not in knowing English but in teaching it.
If you have no previous teaching qualifications then stay away from CELTA in my opinion.
I know a few people who did the CELTA at university and thought it was brilliant. They'd never taught a day in their life before doing it and now all have good jobs.
If you want to go for the option of getting some experience first, then apply to companies that will do their own in-house training so you're not wasting money on a course when you don't know how useful it'll be. Most of the big companies will train you up if they have a job for you, so you're not just thrown in front of a class without having a clue. Obviously it'll be in their own teaching methods, but it'll give you to confidence to know what you're doing when you're stood in front of a class, and then you can go from there. The big companies get a lot of stick, but they do offer some sort of structure and method for an inexperienced teacher.
Hello everybody,
thanks for all of ur comments.
Yet, am not satisfied with any.
There are diversified opinions on the question that i raised in the forum.I am a bit plunged into a deep confusion state.Ok i assume that am a beginner that is why am inclining towards the CELTA course inorder to receive a crash course in developing language skills, teaching, learning,writing and reading skills.
Now, can anybody advise to me whether i would be acceptable as a student with my academic qualification.
On the otherhand, i have been explained by colleagues that this course is designed as an initial training course for teachers with little or no previous teaching experience.
Now is there anybody who can comment on the above explanation and bring some innovations into my mind.
Thanking you in advance
CELTA is an accredited body of educators - this means that they are real people (check out CELTA - Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults). This is going to be a rather expensive course and it's usually directed toward people whose first language is English. TESOL is merely an acronym for "Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages", much like TESL or TEFL. There's not much difference between them. "TESOL" is not a internationally accredited body. It's just a field of study and work. You can be a TESOL teacher who studied at CELTA, but you can't be a CELTA teacher who studied at TESOL.
As far as what you think is the best for you, I would not be so presumptuous as to try to give you an honest answer to this question. There are so many variables involved that it would be impossible to assess without at least a 30 minute interview and overall evaluation.
Now, having said that, I would imagine that your best bet would be to carefully research different TEFL / TESL / TESOL school and ask around carefully to find the right one for you. Try to find out if that school even accepts speakers of English as a second language. Some don't even want to be bothered.
Good luck to you.

There are currently two different "levels" in which you can buy a corset.
All of these corsets are odor-free, kept in a non-smoking home and although I do own a (hypoallergenic) dog, I do keep her away from the corsets. :)
Buy a NEW corset here
New (standard sized) corset specifications:
- SHIPS IMMEDIATELY (from the warehouse in the US)
- Brand new, off-the-rack corsets at competitive prices
- Waist sizes 18 – 42 available, and bust sizes A-D, in 4 different cuts (cincher, standard underbust, longline, and sweetheart overbust), and 3 silhouettes (2011 stock, slim silhouette, and hourglass silhouette). Over 100 styles in total!
- I only carry brands that I have personally tried and tested – no smoke and mirrors, you know exactly what you're getting.
Buy USED corsets and one-of-a-kind samples here
Used corset specifications:
- SHIPS IMMEDIATELY (from my office in Canada)
- The most economic – keep a corset out of the landfill, and pay less than the RRP!
- The selection is constantly changing – check back regularly.
- Many corsets are one-of-a-kind, handmade samples (made by myself) and sold at often half their worth!
- Others are gently used corsets that I have worn usually only a handful of times for the purpose of review. These items are typically in very good condition, show very little or no wear, or have been repaired by me (I will always note if alterations or repairs have been done).

I have several(7) Timeless Trends Corsets that I had purchased in 2016. size 28. Soon after purchasing these I was in an car accident and I continue to be in physical therapy. I originally kept a chart to track seasoning these, none of them were totally seasoned. worn less then 10 hrs total before the accident. They are in new condition. I was wondering if you could connect me with somewhere I could sell these at.Thank you for your time.
Hi Lucy!
I'm looking into buying a used corset for beginner daily waist training to offset shipping costs to Australia. Do you have anything available right now? Otherwise, I'm likely to get the TT hourglass cincher size 22 that you recommended.
Underbust circumference – 29.5
Natural waist circumference – 27
High hip circumference – 31
Torso length – 8
I want to purchase a used corset at less and economic cost for waist training.since I will be usinng for the first time. My underbust size is 34 inches, waist 35 inches, upper hip 36 inches, torso length 10 inches. Please show samples with cost.

Hello Lucy, i have a very asymmetrical waist. and i was wondering if you could help me fix one side of my waist. what is the procedure to buying a specially made corset for my case. thank you and i hope you get back to me soon.
how long does it take for a corset to reach a client and how do we know our measurement
I recently decided to start waist training, but I'm still confuused about somethings. I was thinking about buying from Orchard Corsets but I am unsure if it'll fit right. I've been eyeing their CS426 longline for awhile now but i am about 10-10.5 in natural length. I was wonderin if it wouuld fit properly or should I get the CS426 short, and if so, would I still get the full body coverage as the longline??
Hello im interested in training… What would you recommend to start off with? A under bust or clincher?…
Hi Lucy, I have two questions: I wanted to purchase an ultra-curvy, dramatic wasp or hourglass underbust corset, similar to the Isabella Josephine or WKD Morticia ones. Do you have one in your new OTR or used collections of these specifications? Also, I was wondering where can I buy these corsets in Canada, preferably in Toronto, but anywhere in Ontario or even Quebec, can do. Which stores in Canada carry the high-end, excellent quality corsets that feature in your photos?
Hi, I would like to try a corset for posture and for the "squeeze" calming benefits for anxiety and spectrum issues. I am a very plus size, though, and I was wondering if you have suggestions on where to buy very large ones. To give an example, I wear a size 24/26 (American size) top and 26 bottom.
I recently decided to start waist training and since I'm a student, its difficult to find something affordable and in good quality and then I stumbled upon your website and got all excited until I found that you cater for cup D only and I'm a DD plus I am in South Africa so I'm not really sure whether you ship this side or not anyway do you ship to South Africa and which is the best and @ affordable prices…
Hi!! Do you have someone speak spanish?? I need a corset but i have cuestions and only understand a light inglish. I'm in tulsa ok
I want to buy my first corset and I am thinking which material to go for. I want to wear it exclusively under my clothes so I don't care for the looks I just care for the discretion and its ability to breathe, something comfortable. I was recommended the satin as the thinnest and most discreet material but I keep seeing in the videos that you prefer brocade over satin and these are my two top choices of materials that I am pondering over. Will the satin really breathe more than brocade? I just don't want to get the sating and find it deforms in any way because of it's thinness but I as well want to be able to move normally and hide the corset behind the clothes and brocade is said to be very thick. What do you think is a good first corset material?
If D cup is the largest size you sell can you recommend somewhere else for larger cup sizes?
where can i order one and how much do they cost
Hi I'm a plus size 20 to 22 what size corset should I go for

Hello..do you ship to Serbia,and what is the type of payment ?Thank you
Hello Norah, yes shipping to Serbia is possible – depending on which corset you buy it may cost different amounts, but will average around $40 USD. Payment is always through Paypal. Thank you for your inquiry! :)
Hi I'm jasmine and I may be over looking it but how much do you sell your corsets for? I really want to order an all black one for waist training.
P.s I'm in the USA
Hi Jasmine, take a look at my new OTR corsets page; all the standard underbusts are $100 and the longlines are $119. Many people use them for daily use because of their lifetime guarantee, and they hold up well.
Hi Lucy,
I am 5′ 9" have a long torso, my back always hurts, I heard that corsets can help. So can a corset help with me stand up straight and support my back? I really want a corset, but don't know where to begin. Can you help me?
Hi Natalie, yes a corset may be able to help. I have a consultation service for this exact reason (helping people find a suitable corset), and also you can check the corsetiere map for someone who lives close to you. Cheers!
Hi, I'm looking into waist training and I was wondering what you would recommend out of the timeless trends. I saw so many that I loved, but there was no "waist training" category so I didn't know what type to choose. I'm pretty new at this so I'm a little lost. I'm a natural 24-25 waist if that makes any difference. Thanks in advance!
True, timeless trends doesn't have "waist training corsets" per se. However I bought a Timeless trends corset for my first one and was able to train from 26 inches down to 23 inches with it. If you're looking for an affordable and long-lasting corset then TT is a good option – they have a lifetime guarantee so if anything breaks on them (busk, grommets, ripped fabric) then they can be exchanged. If you have a 24-25 inch waist then I'd recommend either a size 20″ or 22″ corset (22″ for gentle reduction, 20″ for more reduction and training down for longer).
Hi Zany, here is the page where you can buy TT corsets. :)
If you're not in Canada, US or Europe then please send me an email firstname.lastname@example.com so I can properly calculate shipping for you. You can also ask me any questions via email. Best wishes!
Hi, I was wondering if you can customize one of your timeless trends for me, I was thinking if you could put a few hip gores in there and spiral bones only on the hip areas, Im a natural 24- 25 Waist.. How much would you charge to do this?
Hi! I stumbled across your videos when I was looking for a crinoline for my wedding dress. I'm doing a Cinderella theme and want a princessy poofy dress. :) I'm just wondering if you have any videos or pictures from the crinoline on you that you bought from Angels bridal on eBay. I saw you opening the package in your vlog and it looks perfect. Thanks in advanced! And I apologize if I missed it!
Hi Amanda! Yes, I do have a video of myself wearing the Crinoline, it's called Crinoline (Hoopskirt) Tips & Tricks. In that video I show how to put one on, how to sit down in one, etc. :)
What kind of payment plans do you offer?
My payment plans are flexible and is different for every person, discussed confidentially by email. Whatever your financial situation, I'll make a plan that works for you. Send me an email if you're interested in sorting out a plan. :)
Do you have a website where I can view your work? Thank you
