Thyroid Glossary
Below is a list of the most common terms associated with medical conditions of the thyroid gland.
Ablation:
This is a process to painlessly destroy the thyroid with radioactive iodine. For patients with Graves hyperthyroidism, a pill with a dose of 8 - 12 millicuries of I-131 is given by mouth which damges the thyroid over a 3-6 month period of time. This is the main way to treat North American patients with hyperthyroidism over the age of 30. Thyroid cancer treatment may require radioactive iodine and at much higher doses.
Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma:
A type of undifferentiated thyroid tumor which is very rare, very aggressive, and very difficult to treat. This tumor usually occurs in older patients with longstanding goiters and can suddenly produce compressive symptoms.
Antithyroid agents:
This is a class of medications, also called thionamides, include methamazole and propylthiouracil which inhibit iodide organification which can inhibit thyroid hormone production and peripheral thyroid effects.
Apoptosis / Apoptotic
A description of pre-programmed cell death that destroys a cell without damage to surrounding cells.
A condition in which the bodies own antibodies attack itself. Thyroid autoantibodies can cause Graves disease or Hypothyroidism from Hashimoto's thyroiditis.
Beta adrenergic blocking agents:
These are drugs which inhibit the effects of excess thyroid hormone on the body by inhibiting the conversion of T4 to T3 at the tissue level. These medications will reduce heart rate and are also used an blood pressure lowering medications.
Calcitonin:
This is a 32 amino acid protein produced in the parafollicular C-cells of the thyroid gland that is involved in calcium and phosphate regulation. Medullary thyroid cancer is a tumor of these C-cells. Calcitonin can be used as a marker of medullary thyroid cancer disease progression.
Carcinogen embryonic agent (CEA):
In terms of thyroid disease, this is a blood marker that can be used to follow the disease progression of medullary thyroid cancer. This is a substance produced by many different cancers.
Abbreviation for computerized axial tomography "CT Scan"
C-cell:
These are the parafollicular cells derived from the ultimobranchial body which produce calcitonin, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), histaminase, prostaglandins, and serotonin. These cells are located in the thyroid gland and medullary thyroid cancer arises as a tumor of these cells.
Cyst:
In terms of thyroid disease, these are abnormal collection of fluid or blood within the thyroid gland. Complex cysts contain cystic and solid elements. Cysts are usually benign but complex cysts can contain cancer in the cyst wall. Thyroglossal duct cysts are specific form of thyroid cyst.
Dermopathy:
A description of the changes in the skin associated with Graves disease which consists of thickening of the skin, especially in the lower shin. Also known as pretibial myxedema. Occurs in 2% of patients with Graves and usually associated with opthalmopathy. This is best evaluated by a dermatologist.
Differentiated Thyroid Cancer:
These are thyroid cancers that arise from thyroid follicular cells, accounting for the majority of thyroid cancers. The common types of these cancers are: Papillary thyroid cancer- 85%, Follicular thyroid cancer- 10%, Hurthle cell or oxyphilic thyroid tumors- 3%. Generally, cancer stage for cancer stage, the prognosis of papillary thyroid cancer and follicular thyroid cancer are similar. Certain subtypes of papillary thyroid cancer which have microscopic vascular invasion and extension beyond the thyroid have a worse prognosis: tall cell variant, columnar cell variant, and diffuse sclerosing variant. This is in contrast the minimally invasive follicular thyroid cancer which is characterized histologically by microscopic penetration of the tumor capsule without vascular invasion and carries no excess mortality.
Compare Differentiated Thyroid cancer to Poorly Differentiated Thyroid Cancer.
Diffuse toxic goiter:
Hyperthyroidism due to Graves' disease. An autoimmune disease of unknown cause which causes thyrotoxicosis, goiter, opthalmopathy, and dermopathy (pretibial myxedema)
Endocrinologist:
A physician with an internal medicine degree who has two to three extra years of specialized training in the endocrine hormone system. This system includes the thyroid gland, parathyroid glands, the pancreas, adrenal glands, and the pituitary gland.
Euthyroid:
Term to describe a state of being in normal thyroid balance when the TSH and the T4 levels are both within normal ranges.
Exophthalmos:
This is the condition of protruded or bulging eyes which has multiple causes. One cause of this condition can be Graves thyroid eye disease.
Follicullar thyroid cancer:
This is the second most common tumor found in the thyroid. It tends to spread from the thyroid more often than papillary thyroid cancer.
Free T4:
This is a measure of the concentration of free thyroxine, the biologically active fraction of thyroxine. The free thyroxine is theoretically not affected by changes in concentrations of binding proteins such as TBG and thyroid binding prealbumin.
Goiter:
A latin word to describe a global enlargement of the thyroid gland
The type of hyperthyroidism caused by a globally overactive thyroid gland. Also known as diffuse toxic goiter or multinodular toxic goiter.
This is a condition of thyroid autoantibodies that have the potential to reduce thyroid function over time.
Hashimoto's struma:
also referred to as Reidel's struma, chronic thyroiditis.
Hurthle Cells:
A large, eosinophilic cell derived from thyroid follicular epithelium by accumulation of mitochondria which causes these cells to look larger than usual follicular cells.
Hurthle Cell Carcinoma:
Four percent of thyroid tumors are caused by excess hurthle cells which can be either benign or malignant. A pathologist can differentiate benign versus malignant by whether there is spread into the capsule or blood vessels.
Hyperthyroidism:
The term used to refer to any condition in which the thyroid gland itself is overproducing too much thyroid hormone. This is a subset of the term thyrotoxicosis.
Hyperparathyroidism:
A condition in which the parathyroid glands are overproducing parathyroid hormone. There are three different types: primary, secondary, and tertiary. Depending on the degree and duration of this elevation in parathyroid hormone, the patient may have no symptoms, osteitis fibrosa cystica, elevated serum calcium, decreased serum phosphorus, and increased excretion of both calcium and phosphorus.
Hypoparathyroidism:
A condition due to an increase in the secretion of parathyroid hormone is decreased. This condition usually leads to hypocalcemia.
Hypothyroidism:
A condition in which the amount of effective thyroid hormones in the body is below normal. This is the most common form of thyroid function abnormality. Symptoms include fatigue, slowness, depression, and feeling cold
Iodotyrosine:
Two of these protein residues in the thyroglobulin protein are combined with inorganic iodine in the organification process to form thyroxine and tri-iodothyronine.
Levothyroxine:
This is the generic name for the seven different formulations of synthetic T4 thyroid hormone. This medication has 12 successively pill strengths. The differences between successive pill strengths within a particular levothyroxine formulation is 10-12%. There seven different formulations are considered equivalent by the FDA, but when interchanged, are allowed to up to 10% different from each other. The American Thyroid Association recommends to avoid switching brands during therapy therapy due to this variability in formulations.
Levoxyl:
drug; different brands of the thyroid hormone T4 or levo-thyroxine.
Lobectomy:
Surgical removal of one of the thyroid lobes.
Lymph node:
Oval shaped masses of tissue scattered throughout the body which act as filters to help fight infections. When thyroid cancers spread to other parts of the body via these nodes they can become abnormally and persistently enlarged.
Medullary thyroid carcinoma:
A thyroid cancer that may occur as a sporadic form or as a genetically transmitted familial form. Pathologically there is a proliferation of parafollicular cells ("C" cells) that produce excessive calcitonin, Many cases are now diagnosed during routine screening of affected family members with multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) types II or IIa before a tumor develops.
Metastases:
The spread of thyroid cancer from the thyroid gland to another part of the body. This usually results from dissemination of tumor cells by the lymphatics or blood vessels, or by direct extension
Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia
Distinct genetic syndromes which cause tumors of endocrine glands. There are three known syndromes of MEN including MEN1, MEN2a, MEN2b.
Nodule:
A small node or overgrowth of tissue. This is a common condition affecting thyroid tissue.
Opthalmopathy:
These are changes in the eyes that are one of the physical signs associated with Graves disease. The extent of the involvement of the eyes is classified by the Werner classification system.
Organification:
This is the description of the process by which the thyroid gland couples together inorganic iodide and the main thyroid protein thyroglobulin.
Palpitations:
Fast and forcible pulsations of the heart that can be associated with thyroxicosis.
Papillary thyroid cancer:
The most common type of thyroid malignancy. Under microscope there appears to be multiple projections with a fern-like appearance.
Parathyroid:
Glands in the body that are located next to the thyroid gland in the neck. There are usually four of these glands. They control the secretion of parathyroid hormone which controls blood calcium balance.
PET scan:
Positron Emission Tomography; identifies differences in how quickly cells metabolize glucose. Cancer cells generally metabolize glucose more quickly than normal cells but a positive scan does not necessarily diagnose cancer.
Poorly Differentiated Thyroid Cancer
These are aggressive tumors of the thyroid which are more difficult to treat because they no longer have many characteristics of true thyroid cells. The tumor histologies include trabecular, insular, and solid subtypes of papillary thyroid cancer. Also see anaplastic thyroid cancer. Compare to Differentiated Thyroid Cancer.
Postpartum thyroiditis:
An inflammation of the thyroid gland which may occur in the mother's thyroid gland after the birth of a child. This can sometimes lead to permanent hypothyroidism in the mother.
Pretibial myxedema:
See dermopathy.
RAI:
Abbreviation for Radioactive Iodine.
Radioactive iodine:
A medication used for two purposes. In small quantities is can diagnose different forms of hyperthyroidism. In larger amounts is can treat hyperthyroidism or thyroid cancer. The medication is usually administered in the form of a capsule or liquid (it is odorless and tasteless). Since the thyroid is the major organ in the body that uses iodine, the radioactive iodine is quickly take up by the overactive thyroid cells. Over a 6 month period of time this results in the destruction of the thyroid gland.
Resin T3 uptake:
The blood test is used to assess the binding capacity of the serum for thyroid hormone. In conjunction with the total T4, the Free T4 index can be calculated which reflecting the free T4 level. This testing is frequently used to follow hyperthyroidism in pregnancy.
RET proto-oncogene:
This is a gene in the body, which is abnormal, is strongly associated with medullary thyroid cancer. Activating mutations in the RET gene can give rise to the cancer syndrome multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN). The gene can be evaluated in a blood test to determine if the Medullary Thyroid Cancer is sporadic or familial (hereditary)
Synthroid:
A brand name of the of the synthetic thyroid hormone T4 or (levothyroxine)
Thyroglobulin:
This is a large protein produced within the thyroid gland which is stored in the colloid of the thyroid follicular cells. This protein allows the thyroid to combine inorganic iodide with iodotyrosine molecules to form the main thyroid hormone, thyroxine.
Thyroglossal duct cyst:
This is a remnant of the thyroglossal duct tract. The thyroid originally develops at the base of the tongue and then moves along the thyroglossal duct tract tract to its final location in the neck during embryogenesis. This thyroglossal duct tract should atrophy and disappear by the 10th week of gestation but in some people remnants of this tract remain into adulthood. There is a 1% risk of either follicular or papillary thyroid cancer in these cysts.
Thyroid:
This a hormone producing gland located in the neck which produces thyroid hormone. There are two types of abnormalities that can occur in this gland: 1) functional thyroid problems (hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism) which are monitored with blood testing and 2) structural thyroid problems (thyroid nodules, goiter, thyroid cancers) which are monitored using thyroid ultrasound.
Thyroiditis:
An inflammation of the thyroid gland. Hashimoto's thyroiditis is the most common cause of hypothyroidism.
Thyroid Cancer:
There are many forms of thyroid carcinoma.
Thyroid Nodules:
These are growths of thyroid tissue on the thyroid gland.
TNM Thyroid Cancer Staging:
A staging system is a standard way for your endocrinologist to summarize how large a cancer is and how far it has spread. The most common system used for thyroid cancer is the TNM system. "T" indicates the size of the primary tumor and whether it has grown into a nearby structure. "N" describes the extent of spread to nearby lymph nodes. "M" indicates whether a cancer has spread (metastasized) to other organs of the body. The most common sites of spread for thyroid cancer are the lungs, then bones and liver. Survival rates can be based on this staging system.
Papillary thyroid cancer*
Stage 5-Year Relative Survival Rate
I 100%
II 100%
III 93%
IV 51%
*based on patients diagnosed 1998 to 1999
Follicular thyroid cancer*
Note: All the stage III and IV patients with follicular or papillary thyroid cancer are, by definition, over 45 years old.
Medullary thyroid cancer**
II 98%
**based on patients diagnosed between 1985 and 1991
Anaplastic
The 5-year relative survival rate for anaplastic (undifferentiated) carcinomas, all of which are considered stage IV, is around 7% (based on patients diagnosed between 1985 and 1991).
Thyroid storm:
This is a severe form of untreated thyrotoxicosis which causes multiple organs to fail. The death rate in these patients is very high.
Thyroidectomy:
The surgical removal of part or all of the thyroid gland.
Thyrotoxicosis:
The presence of excess thyroid hormone in the body which can be due to intrinsic excess (hyperthyroidism) or extrinsic excess hormone (ingesting thyroid hormone)
Thyroxine:
The hormone produced by the thyroid gland.
T3:
See Triiodothironine or Cytomel.
see Thyroxine.
Total T3:
The total T3 measures the concentration of triiodothyonine in the serum.
The T4 test measures the concentration of Thyroxine in the serum. This includes both bound and free hormone. Only the free hormone, about 0.05% of the total, is biologically active.
TRH test:
An antiquated form of testing for thyroid hormone deficiency.
TSH:
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone is secreted from the pituitary gland to stimulate the thyroid gland to produce thyroid homones. This is the most sensitive test to evaluate for thyroid excess or deficiency.
Werner classification system:
A system (Class 1 though 6) used to classify the severity of opthalmopathy (eye changes) in Graves disease.

Macron responds to 'yellow vests' with call for national 'debate'
French President penned letter calling on citizens to turn "anger into solution"
Daily News Egypt January 14, 2019 Be the first to comment
In a lengthy letter to the nation, French President Emmanuel Macron has asked citizens to give their opinions on government policies as part of a nation-wide debate after months of "yellow vest" protests.
Citizens of France would be asked to discuss issues such as cutting taxes and public spending, the use of referendums, and immigration quotas.
"I intend to transform anger into solutions," Macron said in the letter published late on Sunday.
"Your proposals will help build a new contract for the nation, organising the actions of the government and parliament, but also France's positions at the European and international levels," he said.
The document also says that Macron would attend town hall meetings across the country, with the first one set for Tuesday in the northwest town of Bourgtheroulde. He vowed to report on the results after the consultations end on March 15.
While he said that no issues are "forbidden" in the debate, Macron also said he would not backtrack on some of his government's unpopular measures, such as scrapping a wealth tax.
For the last nine weeks, "yellow vest" protesters have rallied against Macron's perceived elitism and government policies that they say favour the rich. In response, Macron approved a €10bn package of welfare increases in an attempt to appease the protesters.
On Sunday, Macron's far-right rival, National Rally (RN) leader Marine Le Pen, accused him of "blindness" and "intransigence" in his handling of the unrest.
"The moment of the big political changeover has come," Le Pen said while launching her party's campaign for the upcoming European Parliament elections.
Speaking at a RN conference in Paris, she urged some 2,000 supporters to seize the chance to "beat" Macron at the May vote.

PARDO LEADS HO SPEED RACING TO 1-2-3 SWEEP IN TOYOTA 120
by Press Release	 March 15, 2015 0	2 Views
Ruben Pardo earned his first NASCAR Mexico Series win at Phoenix International Raceway in the Toyota 120 on Friday. After starting on the pole, Pardo fell as low as 12th but fought back to the front in the late stages. He averaged 81.807 mph for the 120-lap contest and finished .357 of a second ahead of teammate Luis Felipe Montano with Hugo Oliveras in third. The top three finishers are all teammates at HO Speed Racing, a team owned by Oliveras.
"I can tell everybody that I am very happy for me, my team," said Pardo, who notched his fourth career series win. "We did an awesome job. We placed 1 through 3 for the HO Speed Racing. I want to say thanks to all my crew, the crew chief, all the guys, all the people who came to see this race, my girlfriend, and all the people that have supported me throughout my career. All my sponsors. I am very excited to start the first race with a victory."
The winning owner was also pleased.
"I think it was a lot of hard work went into all these cars," Oliveras said, "a lot of hard work over the winter months not a lot of people see. I think it is a great way to start the season. I have two of the best drivers here in the series. Great way to start the season."
Rounding out the top six, all of whom battled for the lead late in the race, were fourth place Rogelio Lopez, fifth place Jose Luis Ramirez, and Abraham Calderon, winner of the inaugural NASCAR Mexico Series race at PIR in 2013.
Pardo led the first 57 laps before giving up the lead to Lopez. Pardo and Lopez battled back and forth for the lead most of the race.
There were six cautions, including a multi-car wreck on Lap 1. Two early challengers, Ruben Rovelo and Rodrigo Peralta, had problems and did not finish the race. Rovelo hit the wall in Turn 4 on Lap 34, and Peralta's engine started to fail at Lap 75. Thirteen cars finished on the lead lap.
Calderon fell off the pace and had to pit on lap 34 for a flat right side tire, but fought back and took the lead from Pardo on lap 87. Calderon led for five circuits until Pardo reclaimed the top spot on lap 92. Pardo built a lead of nearly second and led the final 28 laps, though Montano closed the gap in the final few miles. Manuel Gutierrez, who started 28th and last, gambled on pit strategy and finished a solid ninth.

Advocating energy conservation, pollution emissions reduction, volume reduction and resource recycling, and building a green construction recycling park to accomplish its core concept, NFLG recycles construction wastes and comprehensively disposes resources. The high-quality aggregate recycled by NFLG can be used for concrete, dry mortar, wall materials, and various bricks, blocks and other construction materials. At the same time, plastic pipes, cables, and iron metals are recycled and reused. Wood is processed into renewable wood, while the light-weight fuel materials are reproduced into derivative fuels to turn construction wastes into treasure at a low processing cost, obtain high returns, and achieve the sustainable development in the construction industry, thereby creating great economic values and social benefits. Construction waste recycling and processing equipment developed by NFLG integrates raw materials pre-processing, magnetic separation, sediment detachment and screening, manual sorting, light-weight material separation, and finished product stock bin discharging as a whole. The raw materials mainly refer to construction wastes, and the main finished products are recycled powders, recycled fine aggregates, and recycled coarse aggregates etc.. Using recycled aggregates to produce recycled concrete, mortar, and water stabilization crushed stone can effectively and reasonably reproduce construction wastes into a variety of construction materials. According to the different configurations of the equipment, the construction waste utilization rate can reach 90%-100%, thereby recycling the wastes and obtaining multiple benefits from cost reduction and profits increasing.
1. Construction waste presorting: preliminarily presort the raw materials of construction wastes to select and sort other wastes and large material blocks.
2. Automatic magnetic separation: remove the residual iron metal from concrete blocks and construction waste mixed materials.
3. The manual collecting platform consists of the collecting belt, collecting room, and collecting box. It adopts multi-position design to collect a few wood blocks, aluminum alloys, cables and other impurities.
4. Light-weight material separation is divided into negative-pressure adsorbent separation and positive-pressure blowing separation to realize the optimum separation of light-weight materials.
The negative pressure absorption principle is used to achieve high separating efficiency and good environmental protection effects.
Dry separation produces no dust second pollution.
Intelligent control is used to select appropriate suction for different material features, thereby achieving the best separation.
Automatic cleaning devices are used automatically clean the adhesive materials.
Positive pressure blowing separation accomplishes accurate separation.
Positive pressure devices are used to adjust the wind volume and speed and separate heavy-weight materials.
The negative pressure drum, positive pressure blowing flow and negative pressure adsorption flow are used as negative pressure to separate medium- heavy and light-weight materials.
Full sealing and filter dust removal design is used to effectively prevent dust and noise emissions.
Jaw crushers with high productivity can infinitely adjust the hydraulic pressure for discharge opening and prevent dust through grease labyrinth seals.
Impact crushers require large materials for feeding at high crushing strength, with the hydraulic device easier to maintain.
Flip-flow screening equipment strips and screens soil and mud to ensure the cleanliness.
The tri-axial elliptical horizontal screen has the advantages of both the circular vibrating screen and linear screen.
The centralized storage system can perform centralized aggregate storage, enclosed transmission, and unified intelligent management of automatic distributing.
Aggregate adopts unified management to automatically and uninterruptedly monitor the continuous storage operations in real time, thereby improving operating efficiency and saving energy for environmental friendly storage with no dust.
Recycling of plastic materials, cables and tires, etc.
Recycling of iron metal and other materials, etc.
Construction waste source: The construction waste generating units need to make clear the productivity and planning whereabouts of construction wastes to obtain the processing certification from the construction waste recycling site, thereby effectively controlling the whereabouts of construction wastes.
Construction waste collection: exercise strict supervision over collection units or individuals.
Construction waste recycling and processing site: regularly report the collection, processing and recycling of construction wastes and regularly accept the government's feasibility assessment of the equipment.
Reuse of construction waste recycled products: regulate the acceptance criteria of recycled products and introduce relevant promotion policies.

The Russian-Belarusian gas dispute faded into the background during the leaders' meeting on Monday when a terrorist attack struck the center of St. Petersburg, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said Thursday.

Gas Dispute Not Affecting Russian Loan for NPP Construction in Belarus - Finance Ministry
MINSK (Sputnik) — Monday's deadly St. Petersburg metro blast took place just as the two presidents met in Russia's second-largest city. Putin and Lukashenko planned to discuss a wide range of chiefly economic issues, focusing on the long-running gas price dispute between the two countries. The standoff, in which Belarus refused to repay its gas debt to Russia, as well as disputing Russian gas prices, was finally resolved during the meeting.
"We had numerous disagreements and problems in relations between Belarus and Russia on certain issues… We prepared for the meeting and we went. At the same time, a terrorist attack took place. And all the problems, which we had for something like several months ahead of the meeting, which we fully intended to argue over and cut this Gordian knot, they faded into the background," Lukashenko said in an interview with the Mir TV channel.
The full interview is due to be aired on Friday. Lukashenko's press service on Thursday said the interview dealt with the outlook in bilateral relations, trade, military and counterterrorist cooperation.
"We understood the true values in life. What are disputes over oil, gas and so on worth when a terrorist act suddenly takes place right under your nose and people who we should protect die," the president added.

Russia, Belarus Settle Gas Dispute, Moscow to Resume Oil Supplies
The metro explosion claimed the lives of at least 14 people, while 55 others remain in hospitals, some are in critical condition.
The most recent Russian-Belarusian energy dispute escalated in 2016 after Minsk called Russian gas prices unfair and unilaterally reduced them. By late 2016, Belarus owed $270-$300 million for Russian gas. Minsk refused to acknowledge the debt, with Russia reducing its duty-free oil exports to Belarus saying it was due to inadequate gas payments and insufficient petroleum products' shipments to Russia. Belarusian authorities had also increased rates on the transit of Russian oil via the country's territory. Monday's meeting fully resolved the dispute, with Russia agreeing to refinance Belarusian debt. Details of the settlement were not disclosed.

I bang on regularly about how poorly written some legal articles are.
Despite this, as lawyers we convince ourselves that we're good writers, which is only a partial truth at best. We might be (although rarely are) good at writing a particular type of legal document.
But that doesn't mean we're good at copywriting for marketing purposes.
So what's the first thing we can do to start on the road to recovery?

Dropping more than just hints!
Quick question(s) - how concerned were you, would you be, to start dropping more and more things. Things just slip through my fingers more and more everyday.
Re: Dropping more than just hints!
That's a tricky symptom. The reason I say this is that is one of those that can be "perceived". You are looking more for it, and therefore think it is happening more. I'm not saying that is the case with you but I think it can happen. That said, if that were happening for real to me, and I had the other symptoms you mention, I would definitely be concerned.
There isn't any way I know to tell what the next symptom might be. Some possibilities are not good : bowel/bladder issues, gait disturbances, footdrop etc. The course of myelopathy varies considerably with about 75% having stepwise advancement/improvement, 20% having slow, constant degradation and 5% fast degradation. The red-flag symptom for me, would be the hyperreflexia. That indicates upper motor neuron involvement.
I hope that you are under the care of a spine specialist ortho or neuro surgeon that can monitor all this. I assume you have some sort of pathology compressing your spinal cord, and if so you may need surgical intervention at some point.
Thank you for your concern and for your response. Yes I am under the car of a Neurosurgeon. It's been almost 8 years of deterioration. Looks like I'm in for a laminoplasty in the coming months for C4-C7.
As far as dropping things: It's not so much as "dropping" like a glass, more of thinner things, paper, card, the lip of a bowl etc that when I carry it, it just seems to slip out of my fingers. Roughly 10-15 times over a weekend.
I know you're well versed in this "stuff" so I wonder - do you know if the double door laminoplasty is routinely done in the US? right now I'm looking at a traditional single hinge laminoplasty. But I have foraminal stenosis on both sides, so I'm trying to research to see if DDL would be more useful.
The "French door" laminoplasty (double-door) procedure is fairly widely practiced from what I've read. There are variations that span the gapped lamina with spacers made of various material instead of leaving it open; I don't know how often any of those are done. Double-door laminoplasty has the advantage of the decompression coming directly posterior to the cord which can lesson the problems associated with the cord being "caught" etc. and can also work better when there is compression on both sides as in your case. It is technically more demanding and takes longer than a single hinge, which can increase complications.
I would assume that the pathology causing the compression is located posteriorly (toward the back of your neck). If not, then laminoplasty may be the wrong surgery. If you have any spinal instability that would also contraindicate laminpoplasty. Also, with neck pain, which you say you have, you should be aware that a laminoplasty is unlikely to address that and in some cases axial neck pain is increased after laminioplasty due to the amount of trauma to the large muscles and other structures in the back of the neck. That said, I would assume the type of procedure done would be indicated by the expertise of your surgeon. That is, I don't think I'd want a laminolpasty done by someone who wasn't *very* experienced in doing exactly the type they were doing to me. It's a complex procedure and relatively easy to mess up from what I've read. In my experience, which is limited of course, most surgeons do not favor laminoplasty. I consulted with 5 surgeons, only 1 had ever done a laminoplasty other than as part of their specialty training. One guy, who is a world renown surgeon (whatever that's worth), did many of them early in his career but stopped due to the high amount of complications, specifically persistent neck pain.
If you end up going for a laminoplasty, be aware that there is some evidence that C7 attachments to larger muscles and ligaments is a major cause of persistent axial pain. There are various techniques such as excluding C7, modifying the procedure at C7 etc. There is an article that discusses this and other laminoplasty details - laminoplasty techniques for the treatment of cervical stenosis.
If it were me, I'd get a couple of opinions perhaps from both a neuro and ortho spine specialist. The training between these is similar and in many cases now, the spine specific training is the same, but they tend to have different takes on solutions to the problem.
Yes I have multiple opinions. 9 in fact over the years. I recently got the opinion of 5 surgeons, two ortho and three neuro. One said acdf on two levels and one level replacement (but later a laminoplasty), one said three level fusion, one said do nothing and two said laminoplasty.
Neck pain is more on the sides and at the base of the neck. Regardless, the thought behind not doing ACDF is due to my age. I'm 33 and they don't want to fuse me for fear of a) mobility and b) subsequent damage above and below. So they feel the laminoplasty is best - albeit extensive. The surgeon I have picked is a neuro - is fellowship trained and does roughly 50 laminoplasties a year. He is with a well known and large facility.
I have concerns - who wouldn't- but it's the position I am in.
Problem is I am congenitally stenotic and have impingement from front and back. As I am 33, don't smoke, am fit and healthy they seem to think I should do well with this surgery. But have said if this doesn't do it they can always do ACDF is need be - but not the other way around.
Thanks again for your advice and info on the procedure.
Looks like you've done your homework! There are a couple of people at least who have had successful laminoplasties and are on this board (although they may be inactive).
I do wonder about a couple of things. I assume you don't have spondylolistehsis (vertebral slippage). If you do, the laminoplasty can make that worse. Also, will they address the front impingement? I have mostly front impingement and a little rear impingement that my surgeon said could be addressed with ACDF. I assume the "opposite" could be done in laminoplasty but I might check, if it were me. If they don't address that pathology it will obviously get worse over time and may require further surgery.
Other than that, your surgeon sounds great and I wish you the best of luck and a speedy recovery!

First, remove the pillion seat.
Unscrew the 2 bolts and remove the main seat. Your bolts may look different from this as I've replaced them with stainless steel phillip-head bolts.
Remove these 2 bolts on the fuel tank cover.
Remove these 2 bolts at the top of the fuel tank cover.
Remove these 4 bolts (2 from each side). Note that 2 bolts are covered by plastic trim pieces. You'll need to pry them out – don't worry, they're quire rubbery and won't break easily.
Use a small tool to pry this plastic trim out. I use a small allen key for this job – insert through the hole in the middle and pry.
Once you remove the plastic trim, you should see the exposed bolt. Remove this bolt (one on each side).
Next, remove 2 bolts (left and right side each) securing the fuel tank cover from the front of the motorcycle.
Closeup of the fuel tank cover front bolt. This is the bolt on the LEFT hand side of the motorcycle. Make sure you remove the correct bolt – this one holds the fuel tank cover and the other one holds the radiator.
The fuel tank cover front bolt – this is the bolt on the RIGHT hand side of the motorcycle (which would appear LEFT when viewing from the FRONT of the bike).
From the same area, use a pair of needle-nosed pliers to release the clamp and remove the coolant overflow hose. Don't worry – no (or very, very little) coolant will flow out from here.
Coolant overflow hose removed. See? Zero coolant leak!
I may be a bit of an OCD, but I like to arrange the removed bolts so that I know how they go back in later. Make sure you have these 10 bolts removed from the fuel tank cover before attempting to lift up the fiberglass piece.
Now go ahead and remove the fiberglass fuel tank cover by lifting it up completely. There will be a dangling coolant overflow hose. Do not bother about it, just leave it attached to the tank cover – you will be able to pull out the whole cover and expose the underlying fuel tank. Your fuel tank may look slightly different from mine as I've added sound dampening material on my fuel tank to reduce vibrations on the bike.
Before you go further, TURN OFF your fuel petcock valve. You definitely don't want flammable fuel gushing out onto the ground!
Next, remove the side panel fairings by removing 2 bolts and then pulling the plastic fairing out. It is sufficient to remove just the LEFT side fairing, but I prefer to remove BOTH left and right ones just for easier access.
Your bike should now look like this – an even more naked version of a naked bike.
Remove the 3 bolts securing the fuel tank to the bike frame.
Disconnect the fuel breather hose from the top of the fuel tank.
Release the breather hose from the fuel tank by removing it from the 2 clips on the LEFT hand side of the fuel tank that holds the breather tube down. Note that a little fuel will leak from the hose if you lower it – so try to keep the hose pointed up.
Gently lift up the fuel tank a little. You should see the fuel hose connected to the petcock valve. Make sure that the valve is TURNED OFF, then disconnect this fuel hose. Note that a little bit of fuel will drip out from this short hose when you disconnect it. But if your fuel petcock is not turned off properly, A LOT of fuel will gush out from your fuel tank!
Gently lift up the FRONT of the fuel tank slightly and you will find the fuel level sensor wiring. Disconnect this molex connector.
Once you've disconnected everything mentioned above, go ahead and lift up the fuel tank and remove it from the bike. There WILL be a fuel overflow hose dangling – don't worry about it. There will also be a short piece of electrical wire dangling from the bottom of the fuel tank – that's the fuel level sensor wiring.
Remove the 4 bolts holding down the air filter housing cover.
Lift up the air filter housing and you will see the air filter. Gently remove and replace the air filter – it's held to the housing by friction only.
New air filter (left) vs old air filter (approx 17,000km).
Again, the OCD in me just wanna make sure I know where the removed bolts should go back to.
** VERY IMPORTANT!! Make sure that your motorcycle is already cooled! Hot coolant can scald and cause burn injuries!
If you are ONLY going to replace the coolant, all you need to do is to remove the fuel tank cover to get access to the radiator cap and the coolant overflow tank cap. You DO NOT need to remove the fuel tank and/or air filter box. I've read reports of some owners who manage to access the radiator cap and coolant overflow tank cap without tank cover removal. It's possible, but makes your job a lot harder. Plus, you risk scratching your tank cover paintwork.
With the fuel tank cover removed, got to the RIGHT hand side of the motorcycle. You should see the radiator cap, the coolant overflow tank cap, overflow tank drain hose and the water pump.
Remove the coolant drain nut and place a container underneath to catch the released coolant. The flow will be quite slow, and might eventually stop. Release the radiator cap to increase the flow rate of the coolant release as air is introduced into the radiator.
The old coolant (approx 13,000km and 6-months old). This is Motul's Motocool. I'm not sure if the color is supposed to be like that.
Disconnect the coolant overflow tank drain hose to release the remaining coolant from the overflow tank.
Prepare your new coolant. The owner's manual indicate that 1L of coolant is required. But my personal experience suggests only approx 900ml to 950ml is required.
Flush the radiator and coolant overflow tank with fresh water until there are no signs of old coolant. Then, with the water pump drain nut and overflow tank drain hose reconnected, fill the radiator and overflow tank with new coolant. Approximately 650ml goes into the radiator and 250ml into the overflow tank.
That's it! Just put everything back in reversed order. But before you put back the fuel tank cover (last item to be restored), fire up the bike and let it run for a couple of minutes. This should test if you've put the fuel tank back correctly and also allow the new coolant to flow and possibly expel any air that's trapped in the cooling system. You may have to top up the coolant a little after this – but make sure you only do that when the engine's completely cooled! My personal experience suggests that this is not necessary. Because the coolant was previously filled to the brim of the overflow tank, this "extra coolant" will replace the removed air and the overflow tank coolant level will "drop" from "way above max" to somewhere between "min" and "max".
Remember to reconnect the fuel level sensor connector.
After putting back the fuel tank cover, remember to reconnect the coolant overflow hose.
Check that the fuel petcock valve is turned ON before starting engine. I've left it in the OFF position before and wondered why the engine died after running for a few minutes.
The grommets of fuel tank cover front bolts on the bike frame drop out easily. So check and make sure they're installed properly when putting back the fuel tank cover.
Remember to reconnect the coolant overflow tank drain hose before filling it up with new coolant.
After connecting everything back together, run the engine on idle for a couple of minutes. You may see some coolant overflowing – that's perfectly normal if you've "overfilled" the coolant overflow tank to above the "MAX" mark.
Hello im Ningma Tamang and I was just concerned about mobile leakage in the left side of my Pulsar 200ns its in the junction where the circuit wiring enter the main engine system so what would be the permanent solution to this problem. I guess this occurs only when I rev it hard like 100 Km/hr and above. Please help.
Hi Ningma Tamang. Although I have a suspicion that you're mentioning the infamous magneto's stator output wire seal oil leak, there is no way I could tell what's leaking merely from your text description above. Pics would certainly help here. Drop me a private message on my contact page and we can take it offline?
Now, assuming it is indeed the stator output wire you're referring to, then you can try to seal it from the outside with some sealant or tape with cable tie. Although I suspect the proper way is to check the seal on the inside – which require opening up of the magneto cover.
Nice to know that you're loving your 200ns so far!
As to your gearbox issue, the only thing I can think of is to replace your engine oil to something of a higher grade. Say, try Motul's 300V (do you have this in Indonesia?) for a while and see if it helps. The 200ns uses a wet sump design and the engine oil lubricates the gearbox too.
If that still won't work, then it's probably time for a gearbox overhaul if it bothers you enough.
Hey, I have got a question.
I followed your blog and managed to remove the tank and refill my coolant (THANK YOU).
However, I noticed that Coolant overflow pipe (also known as the Drain pipe? ) goes from the radiator, wraps underneath the tank and then connected to ___?
Mine seems to be lose, the other end wasn't connected to anything. Either it really wasn't connected to anything or I force it out when I leaf the tank up.
In case, I confused you with the pipe name, I am referring to the Drain tube from this image.
That is correct – one end of the drain tube is hanging beneath the bike for coolant to escape when an overflow occurs.
Hi. My name is Notsi from Sasolburg RSA. By nature, I'm a DIY. I'd like to thank you for the info provided. I've bought my 200NS October 2016. I'd like to service it for 2000kilos. I have bought it brand new. I'd like to know where to find the service kit, the Mutol 300V oil.
Hi Notsi! I'm afraid I won't be able to help with that as I'm only familiar with the supplier in Singapore! Try asking the shop that you purchased the bike from?
Hey buddy, its a great post for beginners, explained properly. To remove the tank you dont need to remove the tank cover, u just have to remove the 3 12 size bolts holding the main tank and the additional 10 size bolts in front. The whole tank and tank cover cab be removed so under 5 mins. Good post buddy, keep rockin.
Heya. Yes, I'm aware of this. And in fact, this is what the mechanics at the workshop would do too.
But in my newbie hands, I was afraid of inadvertently scratching the tank cover and would prefer to remove it before accessing the fuel tank. And because I've done it a few times already, it doesn't take me too much additional time (probably 1-2mins more).
Hi Bro, the details above were very informative.
I am from Malaysia and riding a NS200 which has just clocked a mileage of 900km. I notice the coolant level in the spare tank beside radiator is dropping. I have done my 1st service at 750km and had to top up the coolant level. And now at 900km, it has again reduce slightly. And with the current level, i think i need to top up again at around 1500km.
While the reduction is not rampant, but is this normal? Or there should not be any reduction at all.
I suspect that what you are experiencing is what I witnessed on my bike too. When you top the coolant level to FULL, after running, the coolant level (at next cycle when the bike is completely cooled) drops to MID level.
If so, try NOT topping up and run the bike to see if the level drops further. If it maintains at the MID level, then there's absolutely nothing wrong with the machine – you are not really losing coolant.
But however, if it continues to drop to MIN or below MIN, then you definitely have a leak somewhere. Get it checked.
Thanks buddy. Would further monitor.
awesome blog…thinking of getting a Bajal 200cc / 150cc….quite informatic. Thank you for your detailed guide.
Hey there. I own a ns200 and i have noticed a problem recently with my bike. Whenever i ride ns at 90kmph or more at 6th gear, when i release the throttle for few seconds and start throttling back again, my bike stops completely and it wont start. It behaves as if there is no fuel in the tank but actually there is more than reserve fuel that is there in it. But if i switch my bike off and turn it on and press the self start button, the bike comes back to life. It happens only at high speeds and 6th gear. What maybe the reason? Can someone help?
Could be a fueling issue. When was the last you serviced your carburetor? But then again, your best bet is to take it to a competent service centre and get the guys there to take a look. I would never rely on a keyboard mechanic for issues like this – you need to have physical access to the bike for a proper diagnosis.
Hi bro, it's been 4 months I own a pulsar ns 200 bs4…I extremely love her but one thing I would like to know that if the coolant level is more than minimum is there any chance it could malfunction the engine?
No – you won't damage the engine. If you've overfilled the coolant, it will merely spill out via the vent / overflow hose when the bike is warmed.
Hello sgbikerboy I'm currently looking to buy a 200ns, however the fuel cap nuts are a bit rusty, as well as the fork and the tube(the top of the black portion of the fork?). Is there any cause for concern? Thanks!


The people, families, communities, and country are always changing. Development is a change which brings improvement in the lives of every human being. The change that benefits only men or city dwellers does not represent development. Thus, a true development benefits all the people and has the capacity to run smoothly for a long time.
The level of development is not equal everywhere. Some countries such as those in Western Europe have been developing rapidly for 200 years. These countries are now considered as developed countries. Although there are poor people, most people enjoy the high standard of living. Other countries, mainly Africa, Asia and South America have only been developing for about 50 years and for historical or geographical reasons these developing nations are much poorer. In these countries average living standard of people is low.
Development is often connected with economic growth. In this sense, to obtain higher economic status is development. But economic growth alone does not represent true development. In other words, development is concerned not merely with the fulfillment of physical needs of people but also with socio-cultural amelioration. So, true development refers to the changes that improve the overall human condition.
Development takes place with the proper utilization of available means and resources. Factors such as health, education, transport and communication are essentials for providing services for people and to run developmental activities. So these are called infrastructures of development. A country with good systems of these factors can run development easily. Development is a change which brings improvement in the lives of everyone living in the country. Above all good leadership and its execution cannot be expected from corrupt leaders.
The level of development can be measured and compared with the help of several figures known as indicators. Gross domestic product (GDP), a common indicator, is the total value of goods produced and services provided within a country's border irrespective of nationalities of the producers or providers. GDP, thus, includes the contribution by the non-nationals within the country but executes that by the nationals abroad. Nowadays gross national income (GNI) is used as the main indicator of economic development. GNI includes both GDP and earning from abroad. If we divide it by total population, we have the per capita income, which is the average amount earned by the people in one year. Per capita income is a common indicator of development. It shows the average income status of citizens in a year time.
The distribution of jobs is another indicator. In poor countries, people work hard mainly in non-industrial fields, but without skills, power or machinery, they cannot earn very much. Human Development Index (HDI) is a collective indicator calculated on the basis of per capita income, literacy and life expectancy. So, it can reflect the overall status of development achieved by a country in the areas of economic growth, education, and health. But average values always hide differences. For example, a country with many poor people may have high per capita income because of the high incomes of some very rich people. Per-capita income is same for rich and poor and for earnings and non-earning.
Capital Different kinds of tax, investment, trade and industry.
Communication Television, radio, satellite, fax, postal services, email, telephone, etc.
Education School, technical education, universities, campuses, skill-training etc.
Health, sanitation and family planning Healthy and planned family, controlled population, hospital, environment conservation and waste disposal etc.
Power Hydroelectricity, gas and oil supply, nuclear energy, thermal power, solar power and fuel etc.
Commerce Banking system, insurance, shops and hotels etc.
Irrigation Canals, tube wells, pumps etc.
Housing, leisure facilities Planned development, government provision.
Development is a change which brings improvement in the lives of every human being living.
Gross domestic product (GDP), a common indicator, is the total value of goods produced and services provided within a country's border irrespective of nationalities of the producers or providers.
Gross national income(GNI) includes both GDP and earning from abroad.
What is per capita income? Why do you think per capita income is expressed in US dollars?
Per capita income, also known as income per person, is the mean income of people in a country or a city. It is calculated by measuring all sources of income in the aggregate and dividing it by total population.
Per capital income is expressed in US dollar as it is widely known, easily calculated from readily-available GDP and population estimates, and is accepted all over the world.
How is GNI different from GDP? Explain with examples.
GNI is used as a main indicator of economic development. GDP is used as a common indicator of economic development.
The full form of GNI is Gross National Income. The full form of GDP is Gross Domestic Product.
GNI includes both GDP and earning from abroad. GDP includes the contribution by the non-national within the country but exclude that by the nations abroad.
What are the main features of a capitalist economy?
It is an economic system in which an individual in his capacity as a consumer, producer and resource owner is engaged in economic activity with a great degree of economic freedom.
The production factors are privately owned and managed by the individuals.
Competition is the most important feature of capitalist economy. This means the existence of large number of buyers and sellers in the market who are motivated by their self-interest but cannot influence market decisions by their individual actions.
why is there provision for the amendment of the constitution in the interim constitution of Nepal-2063?
what is the formation of administration of nepal?
The full form of GDP is ______.
The full form of GNI is ______.
The positive change that improves the quality of life of people is called______.
Per capital income = ______.
The total value of goods produced within a countries border is known as ______.

In a nutshell: Thinking about adding a stereo to your golf cart? In this article, we'll show you the the cool custom dash consoles available for Club Car Precedent and E-Z-Go TXT carts.
Golf carts aren't just for the "back nine" these days — they're almost as likely to be found driving around the back forty. You'll also find them in neighborhoods, campgrounds, racetracks, or anyplace else where a car is too big, an ATV is too loud, and walking or biking (while good for you) aren't the most efficient ways to get around.
It's almost unfair to call them "golf carts" anymore, because they're used by so many people for so many purposes. Golf carts (for lack of a better term) are also being personalized, customized, and modified by owners who want a cart that's uniquely theirs.
VIP Golf Cars makes some of the best golf cart accessories around, and they're located just up the road from us in Elkton, Virginia. They designed these rugged ABS plastic dash consoles to fit Club Car Precedent and E-Z-Go TXT carts.
These custom kits are available fully loaded with Rockford Fosgate gear, or you can get an unloaded version and add your own receiver and speakers. Available in Carbon Fiber, Carbon Fiber Weave, or Greywood finishes, they're easy to install, look great, and stand up to life in the great outdoors.
The fully loaded golf cart stereo systems come with everything you need to bring big-time sound to your Club Car or E-Z-Go. Your package will contain a Rockford Fosgate receiver and speakers, the custom-designed console from VIP, plus wiring and an antenna.
The heart of the system is the Rockford Fosgate PMX-2, a compact digital media receiver with built-in Bluetooth® connectivity, AM/FM/Weather radio, and a USB input. This all-weather receiver works with Apple or Android phones, so you can enjoy your downloaded music or stream your favorite Pandora playlists.
Need more connections for your devices? We have you covered. Rockford Fosgate's PAUX panel-mount port fits right into a pre-cut opening in the dash kit. The port features front-mounted USB and 3.5mm audio connections which attach to 6-foot cables that plug into your PMX-2 receiver.
You'll also get a pair of rugged, marine-rated Rockford Fosgate RM0652B 6-3/4" speakers (in Black, to blend into the dash kit), plus a 12-gauge wiring kit for the receiver and a marine-rated AM/FM dipole antenna.
If you already have the car stereo gear or just want different options, the unloaded dash kits come with either a precut gauge-style or single-DIN (2" tall) opening for the stereo of your choice, plus two 6-1/2" cutouts on either side for a pair of speakers. We recommend choosing a marine-rated stereo and. likewise, marine-rated speakers so that they'll stand up to outdoor conditions.
Each dash console is styled to match your cart and designed to replace the stock dash with minimal stress and effort. You can install the kit and the audio gear using basic hand tools, so it can be a fun DIY project. The receiver, speaker, steering shaft, ignition key, and USB/AUX jack openings are pre-cut, but if you need to add switches for additional gear (extra lighting, battery meters, etc.), there's space available.
With two cupholders, a storage tray, and an under-dash cubby for other gear, you'll enjoy improved functionality along with outstanding sound. You can also accessorize your cart with a phone mount (sold separately), which will keep your device secure even when you're on rough trails or uneven terrain.
If you're really into sound, you know that a dash kit and a set of speakers is often just the jumping-off point for a truly amazing golf cart stereo system. It happens in cars, trucks, boats, and homes, so why wouldn't it happen here? You can add more speakers, a compact, all-weather amplifier or two, and even a subwoofer. If you can dream it up, we can help you make it a reality.
Ready to crank up the sound on your cart? Give us a call. Our expert advisors can help you find the audio gear and accessories you need for your golf cart. And when you buy your gear at Crutchfield, you'll get free tech support for the life of the product.
Will this fit the Classic 4 EVolution Electric Vehicle?
M, Not that we know of. These dash kits are designed for Club Car Precedent and E-Z-Go TXT golf carts. There are some ways to upgrade your audio without a custom dash, though, so give us a call!
Marco, That's a great idea! I've sent your question to our sales team, and they'll be contacting you via email soon. For immediate help, you can contact them via phone or chat.
Was looking at ordering golf cart complete radio system.

TAYLOR YATES INTERVIEW
by March 27, 2020
When and where did you first begin?
EY - The initial idea was creating a product range of 9 things every woman needs from a handbag to a purse, a lovely notebook and pen, and the perfect cashmere scarf. The first part we looked at was the handbag and then we decided this is where we should focus and we wanted to create a range of soft, understated, luxury handbags and the idea grew from there. It may sound like a cliche but it was literally a chat around the kitchen table, Mum was throwing out ideas and said do you think we can do this? I said yes, why not? And off we went.
KY- We officially Launched Taylor Yates three years ago. Although fashion and retail surrounded me growing up, I never felt it was an option for me. I went on to do my degree in Business and Marketing and then went to work for a large manufacturing company in Northern Ireland. The job helped me build up a wealth of experience in both business and fashion and I knew it was something I really enjoyed. It was Ellen's enthusiasm that gave us the push to turn our conversation into the brand Taylor Yates is today. We are so lucky to get to work together and although it can sometimes be a challenge, the combination of Ellen's fresh ideas, her understanding of current trends and my experience of design, manufacturing and running a business means we can usually make good choices together.
So how did we begin, a t-shirt business, a lecture in ethics in marketing, a changing world where people need brands to be more transparent. The realization that I was looking for something that was missing in the market. A conversation with Ellen, and the design of the first bag.
Where does your design inspiration come from?
KY- Taylor Yates Bags are all named after the strong women that surrounded me growing up. The attitude of these women inspired the essence of the Taylor Yates brand and they have inspired us throughout our design process. They were always doing something, creating, working hard and looking after their family. The first collection was made up of the bags we both wanted to carry but couldn't find - a soft tote, a stylish hobo, its' mini version, a sporty drawstring, and the perfect pouch. Therefore, Alice, Doris Clutch, Mary, Mavis, and Tilly were born.
Like these women, each bag has unique characteristics, but they are all related through their understated, timeless style. For example, Alice and Tilly from our original collection are inspired by Karen's nana and mum. You can clearly see the special mother-daughter relationship when looking at these two bags side by side. They are both transitional from day to night as well as from one season to the next. They have been thoughtfully designed to complement any wardrobe and add a statement of understated luxury.
EY- Our colour range and fluid shapes are inspired by the stunning north coast of Ireland that we live on. It is hard not to be influenced by the beauty of the sea, sky, and land that produces some amazing natural hues!
Describe your brand in 3 words.
Authentic, socially conscious and sustainably focused.or A Beautiful Purpose?
What is the most difficult aspect of running your own label?
KY- We are still quite a new business and as a start-up, that means every day will bring something new and a new job title to add to the list! I still work full time running my marketing consultancy business and Ellen has just returned to University to finish her degree after taking a year out to develop Taylor Yates. It takes determination, resilience and a lot of hard work to be in any business today and together we share the workload, working late into the evenings and weekends as it's our passion. Just recently, We've hired our first new team member Adrianne, to help with design and product development! We are really excited to have a new skill set on board to help us create beautiful products with people, planet, and purpose at the center of our design process.
Which part of the creative process do you enjoy most, and least?
We love the development process, colour also plays an important part, there are often long debates about whether shape or style will work in a specific color. Sampling can be expensive and as a small business, so sometimes we have to just go with our gut feel and hope our customers love what we pick! Managing the cash flow is our least favorite.
Do you have a mentor?
KY - I have been lucky to have a few mentors in my career, thankfully I have a large network of friends and colleagues and never have to travel too far for advice.
How long did your latest collection take to create?
It is hard to pin this down to a specific time frame as our ideas are constantly evolving to create something special. Over the last 3 years, we've worked hard to develop our core colours and styles into hopefully a look that becomes iconic and timeless. For 2020 we have introduced Mocha as our new colour and Elsie and Norma as our new styles. We don't develop collections based on trends or seasons but rather we thoughtfully gather inspiration colour and shape inspiration from the stunning north coast of Ireland that we live on.
We are currently loving Cognac tones and are pulling together mood boards that will help us develop a colour true to Taylor Yates' brand DNA.
What are your future plans?
KY - We are currently working on our first circular economy collection using the waste leather from our main collection, which may include some menswear pieces. Ultimately, we would like TY to be known as a brand with people, planet and purpose at the centre of everything we do. We would love to be able to create a capsule collection of clothing at some point in the future too.
EY - I think the development of our circular economy collection will be so great when it is finished and it will let us expand our audience more. I want to see us grow our following and to create a real community of people all over the world. I also want us to have a presence in New York and London as well as at home whether that's through other retailers or in our own locations - it would be amazing.
Which pieces do you think everyone should have in their wardrobe?
Honestly, it depends what day it is! The great thing about all of the colours and styles in our range is that they are understated and timeless. We love Mavis and Agnes for day to day, they are both so easy and big enough for a laptop which is very important for us. Tilly, Doris, and Frances are brilliant for going out to dinner or to a wedding. Our current favorite colours are definitely Petrol and Storm but again it all depends on the outfit too!
What attracted you to The Clothing Lounge
We really love how The Clothing Lounge curates ethical, independent and talented designers from across the globe. It's a fantastic platform that allows customers to seamlessly shop unique fashion and accessories that you wouldn't necessarily come across without this space. At Taylor Yates we hold ethical values and thoughtful design at our core so to be able to sell our products on a platform that shares the same values is very important to us. We are very excited about this new collaboration!

Jasper Johns, Fragment of a Letter, 2009, bronze, 38 5/8 x 24 3/8 x 1/2".
Despite my effervescing anticipation, Jasper Johns's "New Sculpture and Works on Paper" inspired but a cool response. This owed, no doubt, to the academicism that has crept into Johns's work over several decades now—that is, if we think of academicism as the preservation of the model, the paradigm case, rather than its overthrow. But let me quickly add that even the most conservative of Johns's works still overshadows the larger field of players.

Q: MVC Html.AntiForgeryToken() causing page to not load We have a MVC web application where on multiple pages (Jobs & Units), there is a Delete link that opens a modal popup and prompts the user if they want to delete the record or not.
In this section of code we have the @Html.AntiForgeryToken() call but for some reason when we try to load the Jobs page, it returns a 504 error and the page fails to load but the Units page loads fine.
Also, this only happens on our Test servers which are on an F5 load balancer whereas on our Dev server, which is a single standalone server, it works fine.
If I comment out the @Html.AntiForgeryToken() line, the page will load like normal.
Any ideas what could be causing this? Also, is it absolutely necessary we have this on all our POST calls? I know it's standard but are there any downsides to not having it if that's the only way to resolve the issue?
Thanks in advance!

"Unangenehme Gefühle" is a two-day symposium about feelings organized by Sonja Cvitkovic and Megan Francis Sullivan. The symposium revolves around contradiction, incompatibility, and fragmentation as something to address instead of suppress. The event itself borrows the structure of the symposium – speaker, audience, moderator, and setting – as a potential performative and communicative site. It includes panels, screenings, exhibition and performances with multiple personalities from the field of art.
There is something to be said for not speaking unless you are spoken to. It avoids conflicts, embarrassment, the discomfort of tightened throats. In fact, it's not even clear what is to be said. Nonetheless, one sometimes has the temptation to speak.
