That's called a dart. It's when a vertical v-shape is cut from the cloth and the two edges of the v sewn together. It is a way to shape garments by curving straight fabric to the body. Darts are created by stitching a long, thin pinch to a point, which is then pressed down to one side.
There is a seemingly silly thing people do who need to sell a house quickly - bury a statue of St. Joseph upside down outside the house. When an offer is accepted, retrieve the statue.
I did this once and sold the house in a week for full price. Don't know how things would've turned out without the statue.
They actually sell small plastic statues for this purpose. https://sellmyhouseeasyfast.com/the-st-joseph-prayer-to-sell-a-house/
If the earth was flat you would be able to see the Rocky Mountains from Chicago.
The fact that as you approach any tall object from a distance you see the top of it first is proof the earth is round. If it were flat you would see the entire object at the same time.
These three hour webcasts remind me of the story about Teddy Roosevelt being asked how long it took him to prepare for a 4 hour speech. His reply was "15 minutes". Wow, they replied. How long does it take you to prepare for a 15 minute speech. He replied "4 hours." As much as you might have to say, this webcast could easily be edited down to less than an hour. Just because they have 3 hours to make the show doesn't mean many of us have the 3 hours it takes to listen to it.

Americans first began the custom of weekday voting in 1845, when Congress passed a federal law designating the first Tuesday following the first Monday in November as Election Day.
Before then, states were allowed to hold elections any time they pleased within a 34-day period before the first Wednesday in December, but this system had a few crucial flaws. Knowing the early voting results could affect turnout and sway opinion in states that held late elections, and those same last-minute voters could potentially decide the outcome of the entire election. Faced with these issues, Congress created the current Election Day in the hope of streamlining the voting process.
But why a Tuesday in November? The answer stems from the agrarian makeup of 19th-century America. In the 1800s, most citizens worked as farmers and lived far from their polling place. Since people often traveled at least a day to vote, lawmakers needed to allow a two-day window for Election Day. Weekends were impractical, since most people spent Sundays in church, and Wednesday was market day for farmers.
With this in mind, Tuesday was selected as the first and most convenient day of the week to hold elections. Farm culture also explains why Election Day always falls in November. Spring and early summer elections were thought to interfere with the planting season, and late summer and early fall elections overlapped with the harvest. That left the late fall month of November—after the harvest was complete, but before the arrival of harsh winter weather—as the best choice.

God is great! So happy that your son going well. I missed your original post, so I'm not sure what kind of surgery your son had. Research "vacuum assisted wound closure" - there are many suppliers. Vacuum treatment is a plastic bandage that is attached to a vacuum pump which keeps the wound pulled shut and extracts any seepage, reducing the chance of infection. It results in faster healing and less scarring.
