Whether you choose to knit or crochet them, homemade dishcloths do a great job of clean-up in kitchen areas. Because of the type of cotton used, they are very absorbent and stand up well to wear.
Once someone has used either, they often choose to never go back to store-bought cloths. They find a difference in absorbency from store the-bought cloths and prefer the homemade variety.
Homemade dishcloths are made either through knitting or crocheting. It might take slightly longer to produce knitted dishcloths, while crocheting them may be faster. Either method produces dishcloths suited for the task, with slightly different-textured fabric. Much depends on someone's preference and what crafting method they choose to produce cloths.
While either method is suitable, generally speaking, a knitted cloth will take longer to make. It will be smoother and somewhat softer, and you will use less cotton in making it, while a crocheted dishcloth will be slightly stiffer (good for scrubbing) and will use up a bit more cotton in its construction. Either method will be up to the task.
For those who don't know how to knit but who prefer homemade dishcloths, crocheting offers a workable alternative. This article details how to make a crocheted dishcloth with scalloped edging.
The dishcloth seen here has a looser feel to the fabric. It does a good job of scrubbing and cleaning because the hdc adds a bit of bulk by dent of the type of stitch it is.
If you want denser cloths, work your crocheted dishcloths with a smaller hook and use sc instead of hdc.
If you've come to this page and have never made your own dishcloths, rest assured that crocheting them is relatively easy. They can be created in record time, using just a few simple crochet stitches.
Because crocheted dishcloths do not take much cotton yarn, this is a great way to use up scraps of left-over crochet cotton.
If you have never made anything with cotton and are planning on making a stack of dishcloths, you might opt to purchase a large skein of kitchen cotton before you start.
It is essential to use Kitchen Cotton or Handicrafter Cotton.
What is the Right Yarn for Making Crocheted Dishcloths?
Cotton is different from acrylic yarn, it's tough and, more importantly, highly absorbent. When you wipe it across a counter or a dish, it doesn't just slide off the surface, smearing any water. Instead, it holds to the surface and thus creates a bit of friction, which is perfect for cleaning. Surprisingly, texture does play a roll in cleaning and a fabric that is slippery and non-absorbent just doesn't make the grade.
Do not use regular yarn! Acrylic yarn is not absorbent and will merely smear water across your counters. Because of its smooth texture when wet, it does a poor job of counter clean-up and washing dishes. You truly cannot substitute, so make sure you use the right material for the job.
Many crafters have related that when they first got started with crocheting, they tried to make dishcloths using regular yarn, and found to their chagrin and disappointment that something was very wrong. They weren't sure what they had done wrong but the dishcloths were all but useless.
Kitchen cotton is less fuzzy and resembles a thick thread. Usually skeins of kitchen cotton will have pictures of dishcloths on the label, which helps when looking for it in the craft section. If uncertain, ask a salesperson who can guide you to the right section.
These pretty-looking dishcloths can be made in about one hour. For the dishcloth pictured in this article, a variegated cotton has been used in a neutral shade.
Row 1: Ch 22 + 2 ch (forms first hdc).
Row 2: Hdc in third chain from hook. Continue working hdc stitches in each chain loop until end of row. (23 stitches) Ch 2 and turn.
Rows 3-17: Start each row by working first hdc in stitch next to ch 2 which makes first stitch. Work each successive row by working hdc in each stitch underneath. Ch 2 at ends, then turn dishcloth before working successive rows.
As can be seen, this is an easy dishcloth to crochet.
It is a good idea to create either a dense or slightly bulky fabric for dishcloths, as this serves better for cleaning. Knit fabric is ideal for creating a dense fabric because of its smooth texture and close stitches but for those who do not know how to knit, if a dense type of texture is desired, work with a smaller crochet hook to make your fabric tighter.
If you need to refresh your memory on how to work hdc, please see the video below.
Never throw out your Kitchen cotton scraps because these are perfect for adding edging around your dishcloths. Using a different color for the edging can add definition and helps to finish your cloth.
Near end of last row, do not work hdc in last stitch; instead, crochet 5 sc in corner loop, then continue along side, working 4 sc in every other rib (see photo), leaving a space (rib) between scallops. Work in these same openings when reaching the opposite side of cloth.
When edging has been worked all the way around dishcloth, finish by skipping two spaces and joining with a ss.
This is an easy-to-execute pattern using hdc stitches to make a textured square crocheted dishcloth and sc stitches to finish it with a pretty-looking scalloped edging. The texture serves well for scrubbing, while the edging adds eye-appeal.
If you aren't overly concerned about your scallops being "perfect," you can also just work 4 sc along edges, visually spacing them out.
While you can use your crochet hook to pull your tail or end along the backside of your cloth, I do not recommend this because the tail will work its way loose later. If you have a large-eyed needle, it is better to sew your end in and thus prevent unraveling later.
Have You Ever Made a Crocheted Dishcloth?
After Reading This Article, I Will!
As touched on in this article an edging can help to finish the look of your dishcloth. Scallops can also be worked in a different color if you want greater definition. Variegated cotton lends a very pretty look.
If you just want a good basic dishcloth and do not wish to create a fancy edging, please see my article, How to Make a Crocheted Dishcloth--Easy Pattern Using Half Double Crochet for a plain-Jane dishcloth you can make with no fuss and no muss.
I know a number of people who only use crocheted dishcloths. I'm also a big fan of crocheted pot holders. They hold up like nothing else! Thanks for another great tutorial.
I love the job they do of cleaning.
Another lovely pattern. They actually make really nice gifts, especially when presented in a bale.
Hi wonder, I have a pattern for a plain dishcloth that I included in the links section. These are more serviceable and might be easier to use.
Hi Wonder, they do a great job of cleaning but you have to use the kitchen cotton and not yarn. Yarn does not have the absorbency that kitchen cotton does.
This is pretty and looks simple. I would love to make dishcloths but then it makes me wonder would I really use them to clean dishes and kitchen counters! I am planning to use this pattern as a scarf! Will surely upload if I make one :) Thanks for sharing!


Style, talent, personality—fifteen-year-old Jordyn Jones has it all. She's best known for her cover video of "Banji" by Sharaya.You may also know her from the Lifetime show Abby's Ultimate Dance Competition. Since the show, Jordyn has gained international success and major popularity on social media, garnering over a million followers on Instagram and over 50 million views on YouTube. Currently, Jordyn is focusing on her music career. Her first original single, "I'm Dappin" premiered on www.ryanseacrest.com. Faze chatted with Jordyn to discuss her career and some projects that she's working on.
You're basically a triple threat; you sing, dance and act. How did it all begin?
Jordyn: When I lived in Michigan, I went to dance every single night. I was in love with it. I suddenly just started getting noticed at competitions. I actually found my agent at a competition. Her name is Shayna Brouillard. She's from Clear Talent Group Los Angeles. Shayna started giving me jobs and opportunities. We spent more time in L.A. than in Michigan so my family and I ended up moving to L.A. and since then it's been amazing.
Most of your covers and songs are hip hop/rap. What do you love so much about the genre?
Jordyn: Well I'm pretty feisty and sassy, so it totally fits my personality. It allows me to express myself. Since I'm a hip hop dancer and I'm a rapper, I can incorporate the two by dancing while I'm singing.
You're so active on social media and interacting with fans—especially on YouTube. Why is it important to you, as an artist, to have a close relationship with your fans?
Jordyn: Without the fans, I would be absolutely nothing. I would do anything to meet all my fans. Since I cannot meet them all, I want to be able to follow them or answer questions. Every week I do "Talk with Jordyn Tuesday." My fans ask me questions and I try to respond to all of them. Sometimes I get 10,000 comments and sometimes I get 1,000, but no matter what I try to reply to as much as I can.
Speaking of YouTube—YouTube and Awesomeness Films recently announced that they're co-producing a new film Dance Camp, which you're starring in. Tell me about your role in the film.
Jordyn: So this is a YouTube movie produced by John Chu. I am one of the leads in the movie. I am a YOLO Captain. It's so fun because I've heard about many of the people in the movie from before and I was a fan of some of them. Now I've gotten close with them and I think it's so nice. I was looking up to these people, so it's shocking to find that some of them were looking up to me as well. My choreographer is also the choreographer in the movie, so I think that's great as well. I'm excited for the movie to come out. It was fun to film and a great experience.
Besides the new film, what other projects are you currently working on?
Jordyn: I am trying to work on more music, because I want to be able to put out as many songs as I can before the year is over. So pretty much in the studio once or twice a week. I'm either finishing a song or helping write a song. I'm also going to BeautyCon in New York City. I'm flying to Texas for a birthday party. I've been doing photo shoots. I'm busy, but very excited to be doing all this.
At such a young age, how do you balance your busy schedule while still trying to have a somewhat normal teenage life?
Jordyn: I try my best to balance because I don't want to throw away my kid years. When I'm not busy I'll hang out with my friends or my boyfriend, go to football games. Maybe three times a week I get to do things like go to an amusement park or dinner.
What has been the coolest thing in your career so far?
Jordyn: I would say the movie because I've always done a couple of modelling shots and YouTube videos, but being in a movie is something I never thought I'd be able to do.
What are you hoping to achieve in the next year or two?
Jordyn: For my singing goal, I would love to go on a huge tour and hopefully get signed with a record label in 2016. For dancing, I either want to do a huge dance video or get asked to do Dancing With the Stars. For modelling, I want to model for Sherri Hill because I'm obsessed with her designs! I'd like to go to New York Fashion Week as well. Finally, for acting I want to do more movies!
To keep up with all the latest on Jordyn, visit her on Instagram and Twitter. Check out the video for her original single, "Im Dappin" below!
Just last week! Jordyn was great to chat with.

Ministry of Agriculture and FAO to speed up efforts to regulate fisheries and aquaculture
by Matooke Republic
in Farming, Featured Stories, News
For a long time now, the fisheries industry has suffered various mishaps especially for people dealing in aquaculture as the Fish Act of 2000 only regulates the ordinary fishing and does not address aquaculture activities.
Fisheries contribute about 12% of Agricultural GDP and supplies over 50% of animal proteins in the country. It's imperative for all stake-holders to contribute towards the well being of the sector so as to achieve maximum economic benefits.
Vices such as use of illegal fishing gear, illegal fishing, trade in illegal and immature fish has cost the country income of about USD 429M. The proposed Fisheries and Aquaculture Bill, 2018 will therefore help to address some of these challenges and foster a sustainable fisheries and aquaculture sub-sector.
PLE results released, Janet Museveni tells teachers to stop dictating the destiny of pupils by subjecting them to pre-registration examinations
Man handed a 13-year jail sentence after pleading guilty of impregnating his 12-year-old daughter
The proposed Fisheries and Aquaculture Bill, 2018 is a revision of the Fish Act of 2000 Cap 197. Once the new bill is reviewed and approved by Cabinet and the Legislature, the fisheries industry might boom.
Members during the National Validation Workshop for Fisheries and Aquaculture Bill
Speaking at the validation workshop for the final version of the Draft Fisheries and Aquaculture Bill, 2018, the Minister for Agriculture,
Animal Industry and Fisheries (MAAIF)- Honorable Vincent Sempijja
commended FAO and other stakeholders for prioritizing the fisheries and
aquaculture sub-sectors and promoting relevant laws to ensure
sustainability.
"While the Fish Act, Cap 197, provides for the control of fishing, fish
conservation, purchase, sale, marketing, processing of fish, it is now
outdated to address current technological advancement and the changed
fisheries sector," he said.
Also speaking at the same workshop, the FAO Representative in Uganda, Mr Antonio Querido said that the proposed Bill will help to regulate developments in the fisheries and aquaculture sub-sectors.
"If not regulated, aquaculture can become a potential risk to the
environment such as increased water pollution and loss of biodiversity.
Unplanned aquaculture can also lead to competition among other resource
users that can degenerate into conflicts," he said.

Kohli confident India will bounce back from batting nightmare
India captain Virat Kohli insisted Saturday he was "very, very confident" his team would bounce back from their worst-ever batting display, blaming a poor mindset for the side throwing away the first Test against Australia.
The visitors were skittled for a humiliating 36 in their second innings -- their lowest Test score of all time -- to lose the day-night game in Adelaide by eight wickets inside three days.
Compounding their problems, Kohli will now head home for the birth of his first child, missing the final three Tests, while fast bowler Mohammed Shami has been sent for scans for a right arm injury.
Despite this, Kohli said they could fix their problems before the second Test in Melbourne next week.
"I definitely would have loved it if we had won this game, with me leaving, but this is Test cricket and anything can happen at any stage," he said.
"I am confident that the team is going to bounce back strong in Melbourne and a few of the guys are going to realise their true characters and how they can step up for the team.
"I don't think we have ever had a worse batting performance so we can only go upwards from here."
After starting the day on nine for one, India capitulated to some sizzling bowling from Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood in less than 22 overs, with no batsman reaching double figures.
Kohli, who scored just four, admitted India lost their way, with the wickets falling so quickly that "no one could make any sense of it".
"To be honest there were some good balls but the ball didn't do anything drastic. I think it was the mindset, it was very evident," he said.
"It felt like the runs were so difficult to come by and the bowlers got confident. I think it was a combination of lack of intent and the bowlers hitting their areas."
Although the scorecard made for dismal reading, Kohli said he had never been one to dwell too long on the past.
"Playing at the highest level, there will definitely be collapses again and again and we have to accept our mistakes and understand what we have to work on," he said.
"We don't feel we are vulnerable to getting bowled out so cheaply ... I don't think it is anything alarming."
The second Test in Melbourne gets under way on December 26, followed by Sydney and Brisbane.

I am a development geographer whose research spans economic and financial geography, and migration studies, contributing to critical understandings of transnational migration, financialisation and migrants' financial practices. These interests have been developed in a series of projects investigating the intersections between transnational migration and the shifting nature, politics and sensibility of work in global cities; migrants' everyday remittance, debt, inheritance and charitable practices; the financialization of remittance intermediaries and financial inclusion and the increased significance of digital finance in migrants' lives. In addition, I am currently working on a collaborative project developing a shared strategy for funding migration research for the ESRC and AHRC.
Some of the key debates and findings of these bodies of work have been developed in the following recent publications:

I am Deputy Vice-Principal (Research Impact) and Director of the Centre for the Study of Migration.
I teach development geography across the undergraduate and postgraduate programmes as part of a distinctive, innovative and collaborative 'hybrid geography' agenda which encourages students to challenge the positioning of the global South as a collection of places in need of external development interventions; to recognise the immense diversity of the global South and the links between the global South and North. This agenda is particularly developed in the two undergraduate modules which I teach: Spaces of Uneven Development and Development Futures: Mumbai Unbound which I co-designed and delivered until December 2017. The latter is the first development geography overseas field class to be offered at the School of Geography at QMUL. I also teach on two postgraduate programmes, MA/MRes Global Development Futures and MSc Development and International Business.

'I have learned a lot about how I see the world. Every lecture is thought provoking, changed the way I see the world and the topics discussed.' (Spaces of Uneven Development, 2016-17)
My research spans development and economic geography, and migration studies contributing to critical understandings of transnational migration, financialisation and migrants' financial practices. Challenging interdisciplinary boundaries, my programme of research reflects collaborations with academic colleagues, public policy organisations and migrant/civic institutions. My research interests have been developed in three key strands of research encompassing current and recent projects:
1) London International Development Centre's Migration Leadership Team (Co-I; ESRC-AHRC, 2017-2019) is developing a shared strategy for funding and supporting migration research for the UK's Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) and the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC). The team is identifying strategic opportunities and priorities for further research and highlighting best practice in the area of impact through a series of global migration conversations with researchers, policy-makers, practitioners, migrant associations and arts organisations in the UK, Brussels, Delhi, Nairobi, New York and Beirut. These conversations have (i) assessed the scope, achievements and challenges of existing migration research portfolios; (ii) identified strategic opportunities and priorities for further research; (iii) highlighted approaches and methods which build effective and equitable partnerships and achieve maximum impact. This is a collaborative project with Laura Hammond (SOAS, PI) and Elaine Chase (IoE, UCL; Co-I).
2) Transnational migration, financialisation and financial practices: I have a long-standing interest in migrant women and men's financial practices. Previous work has explored diverse everyday financial practices adopted by new migrant communities in London within the context of financial exclusion (Migrants and their Money: Surviving Financial Exclusion in London, Friends Provident Foundation, ESRC-CASE studentship, London Citizens) and Muslim migrants' charitable networks in London (Islamic Philanthropy in post-recession London, with Al James and Jane Pollard, Centre for the Study of Migration, QMUL and CURDS, University of Newcastle) exploring the sources, motivations and everyday practices of migrant charitable giving which underpin larger-scale Islamic charitable financial flows through London. Building upon this work, my current projects are:
i) 'Disciplining the remittance marketplace? The financialisation of small and medium money transfer agencies in London.' (Leverhulme Trust, 2017-2019).
This project is investigating the financialization of key remittance service providers – small and medium size money transfer businesses (SM-MTBs) – in the aftermath of the financial crisis in London. At the core of this project is a concern to make visible previously undocumented processes of the financialisation of institutional intermediaries, the multi-scalar political, financial, and commercial imperatives shaping these interventions and the everyday financial practices that SM-MTOs craft as they seek to negotiate financialisation.
ii) Digital financial inclusion at the margins (QMUL Institute of Humanities and Social Science, Large Grant Seed Corn, 2018-2019).
Digital Financial Inclusion (DFI) is at the forefront of current approaches to financial inclusion which illustrates the current valorisation of digital solutions to a range of development issues, a 'crusade against cash' and the financialisation of development. A more critical and nuanced assessment of the role of DFI in (re)producing inequalities along a continuum of inclusion-exclusion is less well articulated. Involving research with Indian fintechs, migrant communities and small and medium size business owners, this project is exploring the domestication of DFI in the everyday, the limits of DFI and opportunities for learning from India's migration-digital-finance nexus which may have relevance in wider European contexts. This is a collaborative project with Philippa Williams (Geography, QMUL).
iii) Transmitting In/equality Across Borders: Shifting Inheritance Practices and Outcomes among Indian Migrants in London. (ESRC-CASE Studentship, 2018-2021).
Investigations of migrants' inheritance norms, practices and outcomes are limited in multi-disciplinary migration and inheritance studies. Situated within a broader interest in migrants financial practices, this project is examining the extent and patterns of transnational inheritance among migrant men and women; the informal and formal mechanisms through which migrants' inheritance rights are negotiated, maintained and translated and the extent to which inherited assets translate into economic security and productivity. This is a collaborative project with Alastair Owens (Geography, QMUL and Omar Khan, Director, Runnymede Trust).
3) Migrants and the arts: This new strand of research is exploring the role of the arts in migration research. Building upon research undertaken with Cathy McIlwaine (KCL) and CASA Latin American Theatre exploring cultural consumption among Latin American migrants (QMUL HSS Collaboration Fund, 2016-17), and Home for Refugee Children led Alison Blunt (QMUL) in collaboration with the Geffrey Museum, the V&A Museum Childhood, the University of London in Paris, and QMUL Centres on Migration; Home and Childhood Culture (QMUL HSS Collaboration Fund), my current interests are being developed on a project entitled Athens-London-Paris (with Amit Rai and Project Phakama). Initial research and networking activities fed into events part of the QMUL Tate Exchange programme; extending the project from Athens to Paris. My broader interest in migrants and the arts is being furthered through the LIDC-MLT programme.

2018 MI Great Artist Winner: Kim Frank Fujiwara
October 24, 2018 January 29, 2021 Oakland County, MI Government Leave a comment
Kim Frank Fujiwara was named the winner of the 2018 MI Great Artist competition yesterday at Park West Gallery in Southfield.
The gallery was buzzing with excitement as the finalists, their friends and family, and art enthusiasts gathered to celebrate Fujiwara and his fellow finalists. Event focal points included a shared exhibition of artistic works by the finalists, and a solo exhibition from 2017 MI Great Artist winner, Thomas Tunney.
All five finalists were on hand for the announcement, including this year's People's Choice Winner Thomas Bos. The People's Choice was a new feature for this year's MI Great Artist competition. Bos, a self-taught photographer from White Lake, received the most online votes and received a check for $750 as the inaugural winner of the People's Choice Award.
The finalists were chosen from a field of 209 artists from Genesee, Livingston, Macomb, Oakland, Shiawassee and Wayne counties in September in hopes their entries would catch the discerning eye of the public. After 27,000 online votes were cast during the two week voting period, the field was whittled down to 35 artists. A panel of judges selected the five finalists and ultimately chose the winner.
As the main event began, the crowd, which included the finalists' friends and family, convened around the speaker's podium to hear remarks from Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson and Park West CEO and founder Albert Scaglione.
Patterson shared that this is the sixth year for the MI Great Artist competition. He said, "So, why the MI Great Artist contest? When we work to attract companies – job providers – to our region, their questions inevitably turn to quality of life issues – including, 'Do you support the arts in your area?' The MI Great Artist competition allows us to answer with a resounding, Yes, we do."
Albert Scaglione spoke addressed the artists by sharing, "I was taken by the art. This is real art. You're serious, you mean it, and it's really good. I really want to compliment you."
L. Brooks Patterson acknowledged each of the finalists and remarked upon their talents before announcing the winner, Kim Frank Fujiwara of Rochester Hills. He invited Fujiwara up to the podium to receive his award. Fujiwara, a finalist in previous years of the competition, was happy and humble. He thanked the fans who voted, the judges, and his fellow finalists.
Fujiwara's winnings include a $1,500 cash prize, five submitted artworks framed by Park West Gallery; a group exhibition at Park West Gallery; business counseling and other services from the Oakland County One Stop Shop Business Center; his artwork featured on a poster to promote one of Oakland County's signature quality of life events; a solo exhibition at Park West Gallery; and a two-month solo exhibition at the Oakland County Galleria in the Executive Office Building in Waterford.
You can view Fujiwara's work, and the work of the 2018 finalists at Park West Gallery through October 30th.
The prize package for the finalists totaled more than $16,000 in cash and prizes. The other finalists were:
• Thomas Bos, photography – White Lake Township
• William Brody, acrylic paint – Holly
• Robert J. Tyrrell, oil paint – Grosse Pointe Farms
• Genevieve Van Zandt, porcelain – Brighton
Each received a $375 cash prize, framing of five artworks by Park West Gallery, a group exhibition and a suite of business services from the Oakland County One Stop Shop Business Center.

TypeSense is a software-only authentication solution based on the science of typeprint recognition that uses keystroke dynamics to accurately identify a user by the way they type characters across a keyboard.
Keystroke Dynamics technology extracts the distinctive characteristics found in typed sequences of characters, and creates a statistically unique signature from the typing patterns of a person. These distinctive features include the duration for which keys are held and the elapsed time between successive keystrokes.
Scientific research has proven that Keystroke Dynamics is reliable and accurate. A National Bureau of Standards (NBS) study concluded that keystroke biometric authentication achieved at least 98% accuracy. Since then, the technology of keystroke biometric has further improved to the level that is comparative to other biometric solutions such as fingerprint and voiceprint.
Unlike fingerprint and other biometric solutions that require a special hardware reader or scanner, TypeSense does not need to install any new hardware – it works with the standard computer keyboard.
TypeSense does not require any software to be pre-installed on the user's PC for web-based applications. The TypeSense client is a small Flash-based app that is embedded in the user's logon page, delivered in real-time to the user.
Across all types of authentication technologies, TypeSense is the only solution that does not require users to carry any device. All you need are your hands!
With all other authentication methods, you are always asked to provide some extra codes. With TypeSense, you will be asked to type what you always enter at logon: your username and password. TypeSense is completely transparent to the users.
TypeSense can be enrolled immediately in the registration process by intensive training, or gradually over a period of time by adaptive learning.

TOPIP UpdateJPO Issuance and Post-Issuanc…
JPO Issuance and Post-Issuance Fees Increases from April 2022: Early Bird Payment Plan Deadline Fast Approaching
2022.01NEW
© Mariya Lutskovskaya/iStock
Summary of the Fee Changes
From April 1, 2022, issuance and maintenance fees (grant and renewal fees) for patents and trademarks at the Japan Patent Office (JPO) will increase. The JPO indicates that these fee increases are necessary to meet an increased examination burden due to the rapidly growing necessity of searching and analyzing foreign-language prior art documents (especially non-English-language prior art documents), as well as digitization of their operations etc. In principle, the updated fee schedule will be applied to any fees paid on or after the above date. A table of all of the changes is available here (Japanese-language only), and a table summarizing the fees for patents is shown below.
Table 1: Comparison of Current and New Fees for Patents
A Quick Guide to Issuance and Post-issuance Fees
Before going into detail regarding the new fee schedule, an understanding of the fee structure for issuance and post-issuance fees is necessary. Regarding patents, an issuance fee (grant fee) must be paid within 30 days after grant, followed by payments of maintenance fees (renewal fees) annually from the 4th year; however, maintenance fees can be paid in advance. For a model patent with a standard size and lifespan, having the following profile (these fees depend on the number of claims, and the lifespan of the patent depends on the timing of the following events), new issuance and maintenance fees can be calculated as shown in the following table, wherein the USPTO's fees for a patent of the same size is shown for reference. As you will note, the JPO's new fees are still cheaper than those of the USPTO.
Profile of a Model Patent with a Standard Size and Lifespan:
– Based on the national phase entry of a PCT application with the request for examination filed shortly before the deadline (3 years from the PCT-filing date)
- Granted after 1 year from the date of requesting examination (according to recent official statistics, the average duration of an examination until it reaches a final outcome, including a grant of a patent, is about 15 months from the request for examination)
- 15 granted claims (according to private studies such as this one, the average number of granted claims at the USPTO is around 16 in recent years)
Table 2: New issuance and maintenance fees for the model patent in comparison with the USPTO's fees (calculated based on the exchange rate as of January 4, 2022)
Early Bird Payment Plan
For the above model patent, the new issuance fee is about USD 100 (or EUR 90) higher than the current fee, whereas the total new maintenance fees (from the 4th to 16th years) are about USD 1,000 (or EUR 900) higher than those in the current fee schedule (these can be precisely calculated as shown in Table 1).
By paying fees, prior to April 1, 2022, that are due on or after April 1, 2022, these payment increases can be avoided. For example, if the issuance fee is paid for the above model patent before April 1, 2022, even if the deadline falls on or after that date, you will be able to save nearly USD 100 (or EUR 90). Similarly, if the total maintenance fees are paid in advance, you will be able to do so for about USD 1,000 USD (or EUR 900). As these benefits do not appear to be negligible, deciding whether to perform such an early bird payment (and deciding whether paying all or part of the remaining maintenance fees in advance) for each of your (or your client's) patents requires careful analysis. We hope that this article will be helpful in solving this difficult puzzle.

Lehigh At Villanova Game Preview: The Cherry On Top For Andy Talley
Villanova is listed as No. 22 in the STATS Top 25 poll this week, and No. 19 in the Coaches' poll. Lehigh, as has been the case since 2014, is unranked.
Additionally, since resuming play against the Wildcats in the modern era in 2004, Lehigh is 1-4 against Villanova.
So, simple matter for Lehigh to put the Monmouth loss behind them and kick off the rest of the 2016 football season with a win, right?
That the Villanova game this Saturday will be a big challenge appears to be something head coach Andy Coen, junior OL Tim O'Hara and the rest of the Mountain Hawks are quite aware, but that doesn't mean that anyone will be backing down.
"The message we're going to have is don't get on the bus unless you think you're going to win the game," Coen said. "So, we're looking forward to it."

Coronary artery bypass grafting has potential benefits for patients over age 80 with reasonable surgical risk, Mayo Clinic study finds
ROCHESTER, Minn. — Patients over age 80 are considered high-risk candidates for coronary artery bypass grafting, not only because of normal wear and tear on the body, but also because of comorbidities and risks of complications after surgery. No hard-and-fast guidelines are available to assess the risks and benefits for octogenarians. Patients and physicians often choose not to proceed with surgery, and that decision carries its own risks and disadvantages.
A new retrospective study from Mayo Clinic finds that, although there's a higher surgical risk for patients over age 80, coronary artery bypass grafting may be associated with favorable outcomes and increased long-term survival. Further research is needed to identify patient groups that may benefit most from surgical revascularization, according to an article published in Mayo Clinic Proceedings.
Researchers reviewed case histories for 1,283 patients who were older than age 80 and underwent primary isolated coronary artery bypass grafting at Mayo Clinic in Rochester between Jan. 1, 1993, and Oct. 31, 2019. Median survival time was 7.6 years, compared with six years for age- and sex-matched octogenarians in the general U.S. population.
"Our results show that coronary artery bypass surgery can be beneficial for patients over age 80," says Kukbin Choi, M.D., a Mayo Clinic clinical fellow in Cardiovascular Surgery and the study's first author. "The key is to carefully identify patients who can most benefit from the procedure. That's what future research can help with: to identify subgroups of patients who can most benefit."
The patients' survival rate was 90.2% at one year, 67.9% at five years, 31.1% at 10 years and 8.2% at 15 years, according to the study. The surgical mortality rate was 4%, but it declined significantly during the 26-year study period. Mortality in the last three years of the study period was 1.6%. Risk factors associated with reduced survival time included advanced age, diabetes mellitus, smoking history and chronic lung disease.
Just over 56% of the surgeries were elective procedures, 40% were performed in urgent situations and 3.8% were emergencies.
"The longer median survival in octogenarians undergoing surgery and the relatively low rates of complications observed in our study imply that with tailored surgery candidacy and consideration of specific high-risk factors, coronary artery bypass grafting may be an important treatment strategy for those patients with multivessel coronary artery disease," says Dr. Choi.
The study's other co-authors are Chaim Locker, M.D.; Benish Fatima, M.B.B.S.; Hartzell Schaff, M.D.; John Stulak, M.D.; Mauricio Villavicencio Theoduloz, M.D.; Joseph Dearani, M.D.; Richard Daly, M.D.; Juan Crestanello, M.D.; Kevin Greason, M.D.; and Vishal Khullar — all with Mayo Clinic's Department of Cardiovascular Surgery — and Brian Lahr, of Mayo Clinic's Department of Quantitative Health Sciences. The authors report no competing interests.

Making sense of chemical safety reform
By Andrew Rosenberg — 01/29/16 01:00 PM EST
The views expressed by contributors are their own and not the view of The Hill
View Latest Opinions >>
Last year, both the House and Senate approved bills to reform the Toxic Substances Control Act.
Both bills make some improvements over the current law. But neither bill provides the protections the public deserves. Now comes the hard part: Taking the best, and most protective, provisions from the House and Senate bills and coming up with the strongest possible final legislation.
But another, scarier, outcome also is possible. Senate and House negotiators may agree on a bill that combines the two bills' least protective provisions, something some in the chemical industry would prefer.
The point of reform is to give the Environmental Protection Agency the authority it has lacked ever since the original TSCA was passed in 1976. As a consequence, only about 200 of the tens of thousands of chemicals in commerce have been tested for safety.
What would a strong final TSCA reform look like? Here are some of Union of Concerned Scientists' priorities:
Ensure that the EPA can use the best available science to inform its work. It is crucial that the final bill does not tell the EPA how to use science to assess and regulate toxic chemicals. The EPA ought to operate transparently, and explain the scientific basis for its methods, but legislating scientific methods will block innovation that can produce better results. The House bill is less prescriptive.
Protect the EPA's work from court challenges. The EPA must focus on public health and safety when assessing chemicals., Costs should not be the priority that opens regulations to legal challenges. The Senate bill is clearer and more protective.
Protect vulnerable populations. A final bill must protect those most exposed to the chemicals, and those most physically susceptible to their harms, including workers, children, fence-line communities, pregnant women, and the elderly. The Senate bill is more specific.
Give the EPA the power to protect the public without going through unnecessary procedural hurdles. The EPA has an existing regulatory framework in place. What it has lacked is the authority to impose meaningful restrictions. The House bill does not increase these hurdles.
Address all PBTs. Persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic chemicals are very dangerous. The EPA should have the authority to regulate all PBTs that pose significant hazards. While the House process for acting on PBTs is more efficient, the House exempts certain PBTs from regulation.
Impose enforceable deadlines on the EPA to regulate chemicals. Deadlines are the only way to guarantee that toxic chemicals are identified and regulated in a timely manner. The Senate bill includes clearer deadlines.
Give states the widest latitude to continue to protect their residents from unsafe chemicals. It is necessary to take elements from both House and Senate bills to reach this goal. The House does not pre-empt states until the EPA issues a final rule, a big plus. But the Senate bill clearly exempts all state laws whose purpose is to gather information or monitor chemicals, and permits states to regulate new uses of existing chemicals that the EPA has not included in its safety assessment and determinations, or new chemicals for risks or uses that the EPA has not identified.
Both bills would not pre-empt state laws passed before August 2015. But the Senate bill more clearly exempts California's Proposition 65, which requires labeling of products that cause cancer, birth defects or reproductive harms, and the Massachusetts Toxic Use Reduction Act.
Put EPA priorities first. Both House and Senate bills permit companies to ask the EPA to do a chemical evaluation, provided they pay for it. But company requests must be capped, so that the EPA's priorities always take precedence. The Senate bill caps requests.
Provide resources for the EPA to do its work. The Senate bill authorizes additional federal funds for EPA, and imposes industry fees to pay for up to 25 percent of the agency's estimated $100 million annual TSCA budget.
Give the EPA the power to require companies to provide the data it needs to determine whether a chemical is safe or not. A final bill must give the EPA the power to ask a company about a new chemical or a new use for an existing chemical without having to justify its need for the information. Neither bill is adequate.
Place limits on confidentiality. Overall, the Senate bill has stronger language addressing the use of confidential business information. The House bill would allow chemical identity to be kept secret, even in the context of health and safety studies.
Do not create any loopholes for new chemicals to escape EPA scrutiny. The Senate bill could permit a company to claim that a new chemical actually was a slightly modified version of an existing chemical. This could lead to dangerous industry efforts to evade regulation. The House bill lacks this harmful provision.
Congress has an opportunity to improve chemical safety in a meaningful way. This legislation, the first major chemical safety law to be passed in more than a generation, could make a positive difference. But that is possible only if House and Senate negotiators keep in mind the needs of the American public, and not the pleadings of high-priced industry lobbyists.

Boris Johnson and the Coming Brexit Train Wreck
The next step in the Brexit saga is selecting a new Prime Minister to replace Theresa May, who will stay on until a successor is chosen. The Tory Party has that honor and the clear front-runner is Boris Johnson, the former Mayor of London, known as an entertaining "Eurosceptic". The Economist has a great description:
The Economist: "The former foreign secretary is the overwhelming favourite among party members, who elect the leader. His only obstacle is persuading enough of his fellow Conservative mps to put him on the shortlist of two. So far they have been sceptical. The charge sheet against Mr Johnson is a long one: a chaotic private life, a habit of bending facts, a lack of focus and discipline, and being what Sir Max Hastings, a former editor of the Conservative house journal, the Daily Telegraph, calls a "gold-plated egomaniac".
Over the last few days, Johnson has said that if selected, he would leave the European Union in October with or without a deal. His hard-line "leave" position probably reflects a slight majority within the Tory Party after May's resignation, but more moderate voices caution against such an extreme position. May's justice secretary David Gauke and her international development secretary Rory Stewart both condemned Johnson's recent statements and warned of the consequences of a "no-deal Brexit."
The Guardian: "In a clear attack on Johnson, Gauke, writing in today's Observer, warns that candidates who fail to acknowledge the "enormously harmful" effects of crashing out of the EU will fuel populism and risk doing untold harm to the economy and national interest."
"All those that do have such aspirations have a responsibility to set out their approach to Brexit, which is anchored in the hard realities of the situation. We should not pretend that leaving the European Union without a deal will be anything other than enormously harmful to our economy, weaken our security relationships and threaten the integrity of the union," said Gauke."
And, the research backs up Gauke's warnings.
Financial Times: "A no-deal Brexit will inflict substantial economic damage on the UK and the rest of the EU, according to a study that suggests Britain and Ireland will be the hardest-hit countries in such a scenario."
"The paper, to be released by Germany's Bertelsmann Foundation on Thursday, estimates that the UK alone will suffer income losses of €57bn a year if it leaves the EU without a deal. The rest of the EU will lose €22bn — almost half of which will fall on Germany, Europe's largest economy and a big exporter to the UK."
The Tories are still likely to pick Johnson and the UK's Brexit nightmare will continue.

BASEBALL:Padres 9, Cardinals 3
Jibola August 22, 2015
The Padres slugged three, two-run homers and some erratic Cardinals defense helped San Diego past St. Louis, 9-3, on Friday night. The Padres have won four straight and six of seven.
Andrew Cashner (5-12) worked six innings and allowed an unearned run on four hits with two walks. He struck out eight in winning for the first time in five starts.
John Lackey (10-8) pitched six innings and gave up five runs (four earned) on nine hits, with a walk and seven strike outs.
The Padres sent nine batters to the plate in their five-run fifth as the Cardinals committed three errors and a wild pitch. Third baseman Yangervis
Solarte also contributed a two-run homer, his third in three games.
St. Louis scored twice in the seventh to pull within 5-3. Center fielder Tommy Pham had an RBI triple and left fielder Stephen Piscotty added a sacrifice fly.
The Cardinals had the tying runs aboard in the eighth but Joaquin Benoit struck out pinch-hitter Peter Bourjos to end the threat.
Pinch-hitter Brett Wallace had a 431-foot, two-run homer in the eighth. Matt Kemp, who has a season-best 13-game hitting streak, added another two-run homer for the final margin.
The Padres scored five times in the fifth as the Cardinals got sloppy.
St. Louis gift-wrapped the Padres' first two runs. Shortstop Alexi Amarista singled, and Cashner bunted to first base. Mark Reynolds fielded the ball and threw wildly to second base. It was retrieved by Piscotty, and his throw landed in the St. Louis dugout. That allowed Amarista to score and sent Cashner to third.
Center field Travis Jankowski then singled for his first major league RBI, giving him two hits in his first two major league plate appearances. Solarte followed with a two-run homer.
First baseman Yonder Alonso singled, advanced on a wild pitch and scored on left fielder Justin Upton's single to make it 5-1.
The Cardinals took a 1-0 lead in the first inning with some help.
Piscotty reached on a one-out error by Amarista, then went to second on shortstop Jhonny Peralta's infield hit. Piscotty scored on catcher Yadier Molina's single to right field.

of Fox News. "I'm sorry for the misunderstanding that caused my ill-worded tweet. And, you know, I'm sorry that you feel harmed and hurt. I never meant that, and for that I apologize. I never meant to hurt anybody or say anything about an entire race of people, which I think 30 years of my work can attest to."
Convinced that she was finished delivering her statement, Hannity proceeded to ask his next question, but was interrupted by Barr who felt the need to unnecessarily comment on Jarrett's hair.
"Plus, I'd tell her she's got to get a new haircut. Seriously," she interjected.
Elsewhere in the interview, the comedienne stressed that she was on Ambien and blood pressure medication at the time she sent the infamous tweet that sent her career into a downward spiral.
Needless to say, the Trump-themed conversation that Hannity and Barr had in the minutes that followed was also quite interesting and, frankly, bothersome.


Carousel of Possible Dreams is a unique opportunity that gives Festival of Children Foundation charities an exciting way to fundraise for their "Dreams". PCRF plans to support Lurie Children's Hospital with the funds raised from this event. Funds will be directed to continue research in the area of targeted therapies for pediatric malignant glioma.
This one-of-a-kind fundraising night will take place on Saturday, August 12, 2017 from 5:00 – 9:00 p.m. at the Sanfilippo Estate in Barrington Hills, Illinois. Chicago civic, business, entertainment and philanthropic leaders will climb aboard the Eden Palais, a spectacular 19th Century European Salon Carousel housed inside the private Sanfilippo Estate. Armed only with their cell phones, riders will go round and round the carousel, raising money for CureDuchenne, Marklund Wasmond Center at Little Angels, Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation, and Ronald McDonald House Charities of Chicagoland & Northwest Indiana! The evening will include a tour of the Estate, cocktail reception and chance to test drive the new Karma Revero.
"The Sanfilippo family commits to helping children and families in need each year. It is our honor to host The Carousel of Possible Dreams. The Eden Palais Carousel is the perfect venue for the event. It brings us great joy to see our guests ride the carousel knowing it benefits so many families," says James Sanfilippo.
As a matter of fact, the Carousel of Possible Dreams events have raised millions of dollars for more than 100 innovative children's programs. And all the fundraising dollars are raised through a magical activity that all children enjoy – riding a carousel.
PCRF commits to raise $25,000 to fulfill our Possible Dream to continue research of targeted therapies for pediatric malignant glioma.
We partner with Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago for this research program. Central nervous system tumors are the most common pediatric solid tumor. Among these, pediatric malignant gliomas including diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) have the highest mortality. Children with malignant glioma often undergo rapid disease progression. Even with treatment, less than 5% survive for one year after diagnosis. Through this project, we hope to continue research that will identify more effective treatment therapy and ultimately a cure.
Want to ride the carousel or give back to PCRF? There's still time! Together we can make our dream a reality.
