A discectomy is a procedure that removes a damaged, arthritic, or herniated intervertebral disc (the "cushion" between adjacent bones of the spine). An anterior surgical approach means an approach from the front of the body, and the cervical spine is the spine in the neck. So an anterior cervical discectomy is a procedure that removes a damaged intervertebral disc from the spine in the neck, using a surgical approach from the front of the neck.
An anterior cervical discectomy is often performed along with procedures called fusion and fixation to ensure spinal stability. A fusion is the implantation of a bone graft that will fuse (grow together) with vertebrae (bones of the spine) in the area. A fixation is the implantation of screws, rods or plates. A fixation is a common way to hold the bones in place while they fuse. An Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion is often abbreviated ACDF.
In some patients an artificial disc, or arthroplasty, is utilized instead of a fusion once the damaged disc has been removed. Younger patients and those with normal motion of the cervical spine are the most appropriate candidates for cervical artificial disc replacement.
An anterior cervical discectomy is similar to a related procedure called an anterior cervical corpectomy, and the two surgeries may be used to treat similar conditions. The difference is that a corpectomy is a more extensive procedure, typically used when the disease extends beyond the areas than can be dealt with through a discectomy. In a discectomy, only the damaged portion of a disc and bone spurs are removed, whereas in a corpectomy, the vertebrae (bone of the spine) are also removed.
Anterior cervical discectomy is performed for patients who have experienced changes such as degeneration and bone spurs (growth of bony projections) in the discs of the cervical spine, and for those with herniated discs.
These conditions can affect the amount of space available for the spinal cord and nerves. As a result, the spinal cord and nerves can become compressed (pinched), and even injured.
Before surgery is considered, the doctor may recommend nonoperative measures such as pain medications and physical therapy.
Surgery is typically the recommended treatment when the spinal cord is at risk of damage. Surgery may also be warranted for those patients who do not find relief with nonoperative treatment.
An anterior cervical discectomy, like any surgical procedure, is associated with a certain amount of risk. However, this risk is usually small. Recommendations vary by case, and a neurosurgeon will be able to explain the risks and benefits of the procedure for any individual case.
The surgeon first makes an incision on the front of the neck, then moves aside soft tissues to expose the anterior spine. The surgeon removes the damaged disc(s) and any bone spurs to remove the pressure from the spinal cord or nerve roots. This part of the procedure is often performed with an operating microscope, using microsurgical neurosurgical techniques.
Next, the surgeon may perform either a spinal fusion and fixation to ensure the spinal column is well-aligned and stable, or an arthroplasty in which the disc is replaced by an artificial cervical disc. To perform a spinal fusion, the surgeon replaces the disc with a bone graft taken from the patient's own body or from a bone bank. The surgeon then implants a titanium plate and screws to fix the bones (hold them in place). The implantation of titanium hardware (the fixation) provides spinal stability as the bone graft fuses (grows together) with the adjacent bones. Once the bones have fused, the spine is stable. If an arthroplasty is performed, the surgeon will select the appropriate size artificial disc and implant it into the disc space. Both fusion and arthroplasty are performed under direct vision of the surgeon and verified with intraoperative X-rays to ensure precise placement.
The incision is closed with sutures underneath the skin and dressed with a small gauze bandage.
Patients are usually discharged from the hospital the day after surgery. The surgeon will schedule a follow up visit, typically 4-6 weeks after surgery. At the follow up visit, the surgeon will take X-rays to monitor your bones and see how they are healing.
For patients who have had an arthroplasty, the surgeon may prescribe aspirin to be taken on a daily basis for two weeks following the surgery. This helps limit the possible growth of calcium around the artificial disc.
The fixation provides immediate stability, so a collar may not be required. The surgeon will determine if you would benefit from using a collar.
Patients are usually encouraged to increase their activities as they are able to tolerate, but should refrain from strenuous or high-impact exercise until cleared by the surgeon. It may be several weeks to a few months before rigorous activities can be resumed.
Physical therapy that focuses on the neck may commence at either 6 or 12 weeks following the surgery, once the bone graft is sufficiently healed. Patients with artificial disc replacement will be allowed to resume full activity at an earlier time.
Will I have any long-term limitations due to an anterior cervical discectomy?
For patients who have had a fusion, we would recommend refraining from anti-inflammatory agents for 3 months. We would also recommend waiting 3 months for any elective medical procedures (e.g. dental work, other elective surgery). Feel free to contact your surgeon's office if you have any questions.
Drs. Paul C. McCormick, Michael G. Kaiser, Peter D. Angevine, Alfred T. Ogden, Christopher E. Mandigo, Patrick C. Reid and Richard C.E. Anderson (Pediatric) are experts in anterior cervical discectomy.


The MoU will enable Snapdeal and SIDBI to join hands in providing small and medium-sized businesses the necessary financial and non-financial support to help expand their business and reach.
Earlier, in August 2014, Snapdeal had launched 'Capital Assist' to help its sellers meet their working capital requirement by offering them customized financing options, based on their business category and requirements. Many banks, both in public and private sector also became part of the initiative.
Before that, Flipkart had partnered with FISME (Federation of Indian Micro and Small and Medium Enterprises) and NCDPD (National Center for Design and Product Development) to boost manufacturing and entrepreneurship in the country via infrastructural support in data analytics, marketing and customer acquisition to help them scale their business.
In April, 2015 leading online taxi aggregator Olacabs partnered with EmpowerPragathi (an investee company of National Skill Development Corporation) and Automotive Skills Development Council (ASDC) for assisting Ola in training, skill development and guiding aspirant women drivers. The company aims to create 50,000 women driver-entrepreneurs in 3 years. The company had also partnered with auto maker Mahindra & Mahindra to offer cars to drivers and operators at discounted prices with finance options.
India has over 1.5 million SMEs, which contribute close to 8% of the country's GDP. Any initiatives aimed at improving their access to finance is certainly good news for the economy. The initiatives taken by online companies would eventually bring more maturity to the entire entrepreneurial ecosystem.

Q: Is there a way to use an Accessor Function to define a property of an object in JS? I have two inputs:
data = {"year": 2021}
valueAccessor = (d) => d["year"];

These two input can be dynamic, so I do not know what will be in the object or function.
I want create a new object, and set values to that object using the Accessor function. Is there a way to do this?
output = {}
output = definePropertyUsingFunction(output, valueAccessor, newValue)

A: Short answer is "no". But...
If you're in some sort of controlled learning environment, there are some things you could try.
If you know for a fact that:

*

*Your getter function is pure (no side effects), and

*Your getter function always accesses 1 property,

you could

*

*Use a Proxy that tracks property access

*Make a call to the getter to trigger it (again, if this is a pure function it should not have any side effects)

*Write a value to the logged property

Here's a proof of concept:

const data = { year: 2000, month: 1, day: 28 };

const getYear = obj => obj.year;
const getMonth = obj => obj.month;
const toString = obj => `${obj.year}/${obj.month}/${obj.day}`;

const writeViaSimpleGetter = (obj, value, getter) => {
  let propName = null;

  const proxy = new Proxy(obj, {
    get: (target, key) => {
      if (propName) throw "Multiple properties accessed";
      propName = key;
    }
  });

  // Call the getter
  getter(proxy);

  if (!propName) throw "No property accessed";

  return { ...obj, [propName]: value };
}

// Simple getters work:
console.log(
  writeViaSimpleGetter(data, 2021, getYear)
)

console.log(
  writeViaSimpleGetter(data, 12, getMonth)
)

// This throws:
try {
  console.log(
    writeViaSimpleGetter(data, "oops", toString)
  )
} catch(e) { console.log("ERROR:", e) }

// This also throws:
try {
  console.log(
    writeViaSimpleGetter(data, "oops", () => {})
  )
} catch(e) { console.log("ERROR:", e) }

NHIS LAGOS STATE PARTNERS NOA IN GRASSROOT SENSITIZATION AND MOBILIZATION
The Lagos Zonal Coordinator, National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS), Mrs. Awala Ebijuwa has called on the National Orientation Agency (NOA), Lagos State to partner with the Scheme for effective government mobilization.
Mrs. Ebijuwa made this assertion during an advocacy visit by Management of NHIS, Lagos Zone to the State Headquarters of National Orientation Agency (NOA) in Ikeja, Lagos.
She noted that the visit was a follow-up to the joint retreat of the two Federal Agencies coupled with the cooperation her Zone has received from NOA Lagos in the recently held" Change begins with me" programme at Ikorodu LGA secretariat, Headqurters of Lagos East Senatorial District.
The Zonal Coordinator stressed that with NOA in the various local government areas, it is believed that a massive awareness would be created in the grassroot about the programmes and policies of the Scheme for a better Nigeria. Hence, the visit was to seek areas of cooperation and synergy.
In his remarks, the NOA State Director, Mr. Waheed Ishola, commended the Zonal Coordinator for recognizing the role of NOA and deeming it proper to work and partner with the Agency.
Mr. Ishola promised to make available all platforms within the Agency to see that the desired goal is achieved; noting that government is all about the people.
The NHIS management led by the Zonal Coordinator was received by NOA state management: State Director, Mr. Waheed Ishola; The Deputy Director, Programmes, NOA, Mr. Ralpheal Bowot and Deputy Director, Admin/Human Resources, Mr. John Emah.
STAKEHOLDERS MEETING ON RELIGIOUS TOLERANCE AND PEACEFUL COEXISTENCE IN BAUCHI STATE.
TOWN HALL MEETING IN KWARA STATE


Hoarding has been the big secret of a lot of Americans for a really long time. Thankfully, this problem has gotten the attention and exposure it needs from TV shows that highlight the struggle of people who hoard. Usually, hoarding is caused by a deeper, underlying issue such as anxiety, depression, or personality issues. Hoarding affects not only the individual who hoards, but their family, friends, and neighbors, and can be extremely dangerous for the children living in these environments.
The good news is that there is help, and hoarders are able to successfully work through the problem with the help of a trained professional. If you or someone you know needs help with a hoarding problem, please contact a local mental health professional, or one of the national resources listed below.

For the second straight game, the Sharks and Vegas Golden Knights headed to overtime.
Unlike Game 2, Vegas was victorious in Game 3.
The Golden Knights took back home-ice advantage, and beat the Sharks 4-3 in overtime at SAP Center Monday night. William Karlsson scored the game-winner with 11:43 remaining in overtime, giving Vegas a 2-1 series lead.
Vegas appeared to have Game 3 nearly Colin Miller, Jonathan Marchessault, and Reilly Smith all scored in a 4:46 span in to give the Golden Knights a two-goal lead. The first two came on back-to-back power plays, and the Golden Knights scored on three of eight shots in the period.
But Evander Kane scored the Sharks' first five-on-five tally this series to cut the lead in half with 12:11 remaining in regulation, and Hertl backhanded a loose puck past Marc-Andre Fleury to send the game to overtime with 1:57 left in the third.
After the first scoreless, regulation period of the series, Timo Meier opened the scoring on the power play 6:59 into the second period to give San Jose a 1-0 lead. Meier's goal marked the first time the Sharks scored the game's first goal this series.
The lead lasted 161 seconds, before a Vegas onslaught gave the road team a two-goal lead heading into the second intermission. San Jose outshot its newest rival 16-8 in the second, but failed to score a five-on-five goal for the 10th consecutive period.
Things flipped in the third period. The Golden Knights controlled play in the final frame, attempting 22 five-on-five shots with the Sharks attempting 11 and scoring twice.
Vegas improved to 2-1 in overtime in its first-ever playoff run.
STANDOUT PERFORMER
Fleury cracked and finally let up some five-on-five goals, but the 33-year-old netminder was otherwise stellar. He stopped each of San Jose's 16 shots in the first period, and kept his team within striking distance headed into the second.
He's been the best player in this series, and a major reason why Vegas is halfway to advancing to the Conference Finals in its inaugural season.
Golden Knights: 2-for-6 on the power play; 3-for-4 on the penalty kill
Sharks: 1-for-4 on the power play: 4-for-6 on the penalty kill.
For the third time this series, the team that scored more power-play goals and had more power-play opportunities won.
Golden Knights: Fleury's best save of the series came with 16:50 remaining in overtime. He robbed Couture in the slot with a stellar glove stop, and allowed his team to take the game's last lead.
Sharks: There wasn't much Martin Jones could have done on either of Vegas' power play goals in the second period, but he allowed at least three goals for the third consecutive game. He was solid five-on-five, though, stopping all but two of the Golden Knights' 24 shots when both teams were at full strength.
The Golden Knights converted on Tomas Hertl's second-period roughing penalty, and would not relinquish the lead. After Hertl's penalty, the Sharks did not attempt a five-on-five shot for the remainder of the second period. Without the offensive explosion in the second period, Vegas does not win.
Golden Knights: Nobody was hurt, but Vegas made one lineup change, scratching ex-Sharks forward Ryan Carpenter in favor of trade deadline acquisition Tomas Tatar. Golden Knights head coach Gerard Gallant opted not to make an additional lineup changes.
Sharks: Joonas Donskoi (lower-body) missed his first game of the postseason. Barclay Goodrow stayed in the lineup, while Evander Kane drew back in after serving his suspension. San Jose made no other changes.
The Sharks aim to tie the series up in Game 4 Wednesday night. Coverage begins with Sharks Playoff Central on NBC Sports California Plus at 6:30 p.m. The game broadcast begins at 7 on NBCSN, followed by a postgame edition of Sharks Playoff Central on NBC Sports California Plus after the final horn.

Xbox Game Pass is about to have an unbelievably good month
July 20, 2021 by Olivia
A bumper release schedule shows how good this service has become, and that's without AAA.
I've said it before, and will no doubt say it again in the future, but Game Pass is a bit good, isn't it? The line-up of games coming to the service, especially on console, in the next month or so is perhaps the best we've ever seen.
Just look at this for a line-up:
Cris Tales – July 20
Atomicrops – July 22
Last Stop – July 22
Raji: An Ancient Epic – July 22
Blinx: The Time Sweeper – July 26
Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge – July 26
Microsoft Flight Simulator – Xbox release July 27
Lethal League Blaze – July 29
Omno – July 29
The Ascent – July 29
Project Wingman – July 29 (PC only)
Hades – August 13
Twelve Minutes – August 19
Psychonauts 2 – August 25
You might look at that list and think, "well, there's nothing big there," and you'd kind of be right. But just look at it again and consider the quality (hopefully) in that list of games.
Cris Tales is an absolutely glorious looking indie love letter to classic JRPGs. Early reviews are strong, making this a brilliant get for Game Pass. Last Stop is a sci-fi body-swapping adventure from the developers of indie hit, Virginia, and it looks like a perfect Game Pass addition.
Microsoft Flight Simulator dazzled on PC last year and finally arrives on Xbox Series consoles on July 27. Many people would have dismissed this had it been locked behind a $60 purchase, but on Game Pass it will find a huge new audience.
While rather po-faced, this one could surprise a lot of people after initially being tempted by the incredible visuals. While I said this list isn't AAA, there's no denying that Flight Simulator is about as AAA as sims can get.
Omno, a non-violent game about exploration, was made by a single developer but looks brilliant. Game Pass has brought plenty of superb indie games to players on day one, and this could be another top notch addition if the game can match its otherworldly visuals.
The Ascent, one of the first Xbox Series games to be revealed, is an isometric action RPG with the potential to be superb (and looks top notch, visually). Games with that cyberpunk vibe are pretty on trend at the moment, but this one has the potential to be really very good.
Hades needs little introduction, the game having mopped up during the 2020 Game of the Year awards. It's a great get for Game Pass, coming to the service on the day it releases on Xbox. Get on it if you haven't already sampled its delights on PC or Switch.
Twelve Minutes is a unique looking thriller from Annapurna Interactive in which you must solve a mystery by replaying a 12-minute sequence inside an apartment. It looks super neat and has voice work from James McAvoy, Daisy Ridley, and Willem Dafoe.
Towards the end of August we have Psychonauts 2, the much wanted and very late sequel to the Xbox cult hit original. A recent round of previews painted the game as a Game of the Year contender, so having it on Game Pass on day one is wonderful.
Yet that isn't even the whole list of games coming in the next month.
Atomicrops is a well-rated roguelite tower defense game, Raji: An Ancient Epic is like an indie God of War set in ancient India, Project Wingman is a much-loved fight action game, and Lethal League Blaze is an action packed ball game crossed with a fighter. All great additions to Game Pass. Add to this lot the double whammy of nostalgia in the form of Xbox classics Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge and Blinx: The Time Sweeper, and, well, it's a lot.
It's a storming line-up of games, and it's unlikely to be all that's coming to Game Pass in the period. A smattering of other titles, new and old, will likely fill in the gaps, adding to what I reckon might be the best month in Game Pass history.
Later in the year Game Pass members will benefit from Xbox Game Studios titles day one, with Halo Infinite releasing in the holiday season and likely to be huge. We've also got Back 4 Blood and Forza Horizon 5 in October, both day one on Game Pass. Next year we'll see the fruits of the Bethesda acquisition, with Starfield, Deathloop, and Redfall all due on Xbox and Game Pass.
For more games coming in the next few months, head over to our video game release dates page. What do you think. Has there been a better period in Game Pass history? Let us know in the comments.

(September 14, 2015)
Erica Baird was nine years old when she had to leave everyone and everything – including her name – behind and disappear. Her mother blew the whistle on a major drug money-laundering scheme and the only way they could be safe was to enter The Witness Protection Program. Whisked away by United States Marshals, their home in Miami was blown up, forcing everyone, including Ricki's beloved father, to believe that she and her mother were dead.
Years later, Amanda Maxwell's love of photography and attraction to police work lead her to a career as a forensic photographer for the NYPD Crime Scene Unit. Only one person knows the truth about the beautiful, yet reclusive Max — her father, Lionel Baird. When he's found dead of an apparent suicide, Amanda suspects he was murdered. As she begins to dig for the truth, Amanda finds her anonymity –and her life – threatened. She's afraid to trust anyone, not her fellow cops, the brash, handsome Jake Fowler, a maverick attorney-turned-private investigator whom she finds very attractive, or Tyler Grayson, an investment banker at her father's firm who's trying to reheat a cooled-down romance he and Amanda once shared.
She can't love or trust until she finds her father's killer. And finally puts her past in the past.

The berry cake was heavenly, with different layers of chipotle chocolate and lemon, it was divine. We thank Thornager's for a wonderful night!
People told me, "Your food was the best food I've ever had at a wedding reception." The location is also beautiful. It has both an indoor and outdoor option, which is great because weather is never predictable. It is in the woods and a little bit away from town so it really gives it a nice, secluded feeling. All of the people who helped put on my reception were very professional and well dressed. They thought of every need before I did. I highly recommend Thornager's on Kiltie Lane.
Hands down the only caterer in town I would EVER use. Karen and her staff go above and beyond catering. They were there for every step of the wedding process, offering suggestions and ideas. Not only did they make suggestions though, but they helped me to achieve those suggestions. There is not a single thing that I would change about my wedding day and I have them to thank for that. From linens to name tents, to schedules and parking help, they provided it all.
Perfect venue, perfect day: We loved Thornager's on Kiltie Lane. It's a great venue that was ideal for us as a couple in a part of the state that had meaning to us. Karen was great at showing us around and always being just an email away for planning. The staff were fantastic and really attentive towards us and our guests on the day, and the food was amazing. We would highly recommend this venue to anyone! Thank you to everyone at Thornager's for ensuring our day was so memorable!

I haven't seen them yet, but apparently they have arrived.
Good looking boots. Just a shame they don't go up to a size 9.
Despite having a zip from the foot arch to a mid-calf position, the ankles are loose, as is the bulk of the shaft. Not flapping around in the wind loose, but not anything close to 'fitted'. I did think to cut the shoes out of the shaft material as the 'shoe' fits so well, but the soles are paper-thin. This is a nightclub item, or bedroom attire, not serious walk-anywhere footwear.
They appear to be well made though, and I would think good value for money in other circumstances. If I can make time to take a photo tomorrow I will, but they are going back.
The Office patent shoe with 5" heel previously priced at £70, has gone on sale at £32 !!!!!
That's a pity. With a zip they should be very well fitted.
The boots do very much look like shoes with leggings attached, which (from your description, Freddy) is how they are apparently constructed. Is that why you liked them, or are you really wanting a more conventional 'one piece' thigh boot?
If the former, it seems to me that you are not really gaining anything that close-fitting leggings worn with court shoes would not provide.
I had hoped the stretch function, and them being a slim fit to start with, might have put them on a par with the Zara boot? Which I know to be very slim and very stretchy, possibly why they are priced at £139, not £39?
This isn't a big deal for me this time, as the shoes fit so well. The Zara version has the same, shoe+sock design. While it was some time ago, I did once own a pair of heels from Honour, that were completely 'sock' material with no reinforcement/support around the foot. They were high, and made of stretch black shiny material all over. They felt like a slipper, and were extremely unstable because of that. I owned them for literally days before moving them on. Black/shiny/high, they sold very quickly.
The shoe plus 'sock' taken to an extreme .... Removable shaft?
These are terrifically popular with men for some reason, that I suspect is routed in historic association. Design your ultimate fetish look, how could it not include high heeled thigh boots? Plus, you don't have to have shaved legs to feminise them (legs). Are they not (almost entirely) fantasy? Though fashion and girls seem to love them - if they can get a pair that fit!
Custom, or made to order, would be the only way to go. Expensive, but perhaps worth it if it scratches the itch. Cheaper to buy ine perfect pair than have ten 'almosts' and many more that are sent back.
But you are fundamentally correct, in that the best chance of me getting something that fits, is to have it made.
This is larger picture (made from a composite) that has been ever-so-slightly compressed, as the original looked to have been stretched.
Shocking creases ... £737 - in a SALE!
I don't think I need to add a further review. The images speak for themselves.
I should mention the heel isn't 5 inches, it's a very wearable 4¾ inches (120mm).
Somewhere I have mentioned/illustrated a pair of OTK boots from the defunct Payless Priceless, which were the boots that got me back into wearing a heel. I really liked them, but they wore out in around a month. Those soles look identical to the Payless product.
Name amendment. Thank you Puffer.
Hmmm. I think the boots do speak for themselves, and they look neither one thing nor the other 'to boot'.
As to the earlier purchase, do you mean 'Priceless' (in UK, and defunct part of Stylo-Barratt) rather than 'Payless' (in USA and certainly not defunct)? I have a couple of pairs of Priceless boots; the quality (and fit) is pretty good, although I can't vouch for long-term wear.
Those £780 boots, maybe they should of used another model where the might fit be better. As for the other pair.I take it you be sending them back. I might if I have the time take few photos of me wearing OTK boots and how well they fit on me.I have 2 pairs.
I did indeed and have amended my post to show the correction, thank you.
For the price, they would otherwise be an acceptable purchase, provide their limitations were understood. "Otherwise" meaning; if they fitted correctly. They are what Mrs Freddy might describe as a 'disposable fashion item, worn very occasionally by a young/inexperienced buyer' who might have low expectations anyway. For me, I expect a shoe purchase to last at least 3 months with continual daily use. Anything less suggests a poor purchasing decision on my part, and a loss of a repeat customer for the seller.
I purchased some leather soled mens shoes from Clarks, some 25 years ago. As was the way in those days, after a couple of days use (to scratch up the soles) I had rubber covers put on the soles. I would have had this done to about 10 pairs by this stage, all without problem. I had always felt it necessary, given our fairly wet climate.
The conclusion reached was that I got a refund, other customers/potential customers in the shop got damaged ear-drums, and those others in the mall were tempted to call the police to stop a murder being committed somewhere. I had advised the chappie, that if rubber additions were going to prejudice the sole of the shoe, I should have been warned of it at the time of purchase. I was not. On the basis that I wasn't warned, I got a refund. I have not bought shoes from them since, nor will I ever. And, I do my best to stop others buying there. They are not the retailers they used to be, nor allude to be.
Shocking creases ... £738 - in a SALE!
------- It's the SKIRT that costs £738. The price of the boots isn't stated.
A more detailed/supplemental post added below.
This pair of boots are from Tilly of London. Paid about £40 for them. Bought in a size 10 and still have pain after a while in my right foot.
If you go to http://www.luisaviaroma.com/index.aspx#ItemSrv.ashx|SeasonId=62I&CollectionId=AM7&ItemId=2&SeasonMemoCode=sale&GenderMemoCode=women&CategoryId=&SubLineId=shoes&utm_source=CommissionJunction&utm_medium=affiliation&utm_campaign=Lyst-US&PID=3852549&AID=10621891 it seems clear that the boots are £737 net and the skirt (separate item) is £738 net. But the boots are only shown as available in a 37.5!
it seems clear that the boots are £737 net and the skirt (separate item) is £738 net. But the boots are only shown as available in a 37.5!
The reason for posting the picture at all, was to indicate that a £1475 leather boot from a well known designer, might not fit any better than a £40 plastic boot.
I used the wrong title for the picture (I didn't copy the titles/prices from the boots over to the skirt and boots picture - and it was the skirt and boots picture that I wanted to use), the purpose of the picture (that also had the skirt in it) was to show how badly a £1475 pair of boots could look.
I'd missed the absent title change because the sale selling price (£738 vs £737) was so close.
Size availability, the skirt, even the distortion (picture stretching), all distractions.
Same picture as the Tilly boots, surely?
Lets see if I can get it right this time. i can't if tell if they the same boot in both photos in my last two posts.
. First pictire New Look. Second picture Tilly of London.
The Tilly's seem to be a slightly better fit, but you look to have a similar problem to myself; slim legs?
Email from ASOS late yesterday; "Sorry but ..... Out of Stock." Is there a conspiracy?
Got my hands on a pair of these this week. ASOS must have had a pair returned.
Looked good, with 5 inch heel (almost) ..... But getting them on?
A shame they didn't fit, Freddy, after your frustrating wait. If they were returns, maybe they have been 'doing the rounds' (and will continue to do so) amongst those who are a size 8 and, reasonably enough, expect something labelled 8 to fit. What is the connection between New Look and ASOS? Are these boots also stocked by New Look (shops)?

Die Regierung Fisher II war die achte Regierung von Australien. Sie amtierte vom 29. April 1910 bis zum 24. Juni 1913. Alle Mitglieder der Regierung gehörten der Labor Party an.

Ihre Vorgängerregierung der Commonwealth Liberal Party unter Premierminister Alfred Deakin erlitt bei der Parlamentswahl am 13. April 1910 eine Niederlage. Labor erhielt 43 von 75 Sitzen im Repräsentantenhaus und stellte auch im Senat eine absolute Mehrheit. Fisher wurde erneut Premierminister einer Labor-Regierung. Bei der Parlamentswahl am 31. Mai 1913, wurden die Liberalen stärkste Partei, sie errangen 38 von 75 Sitzen im Repräsentantenhaus, einen mehr als Labor. Die Liberalen bildeten unter ihrem Vorsitzenden, Joseph Cook, am 24. Juni eine neue Regierung.

Assessment of distribution and abundance of ungulate prey using spatial models in Nagarahole and Bandipur Tiger Reserves of India
N. Samba Kumar
Centre for Wildlife Studies, Manipal Academy of Higher Education (formerly Manipal University), Manipal 576104, Karnataka, INDIA.
Ungulates are hoofed mammals (13 families, 95 genera, 257 species; Wilson and Reeder 2005) that show very high diversity in body size, diet, habitat selection and climatic tolerance. Large ungulates (> 5 kg of body mass) influence the structure and functioning of terrestrial ecosystems (Augustine and McNaughton 2006; Duncan et al 2006; Pringle et al 2007). Being primary consumers, they impact plant community structure and forest dynamics through grazing, browsing (Chase et al 2000) and seed dispersal (Paine 2000; Duncan et al 2006) in addition to affecting primary plant productivity, nutrient cycling and soil fertility (McNaughton et al 1997; Frank et al 1998, 2002). As important prey species of large predators such as tigers and leopards they also determine the structure of predator guilds (Karanth and Sunquist 1995, 2000; Sunquist et al 1999; Macdonald 2001; Karanth et al 2004).
Large ungulates are declining worldwide (Macdonald 2001, Schipper et al 2008) and are among the most threatened mammals (IUCN 2003). They are vulnerable primarily due to their biological traits such as large body size, substantial dietary and energetic needs, small litter size, long inter-calving interval (Eisenberg 1980; Hudson 1984), and, due to enormous pressures from humans and their livestock (Macdonald 2001).
India is home to more than 15% of the world's ungulate species (7 families, 23 genera and 39 species). Ungulate biomass density in some of the protected sites in India is comparable to some of the best African habitats (Karanth and Sunquist 1992; Khan et al 1996; Kumar 2000). Compared to the studies of African ungulates, investigation of community structure, habitat relationships and habitat use patterns of Indian ungulates particularly in the context of severe anthropogenic pressures are inadequately explored. India has lost nearly 90% of its natural vegetation in the last 300 years and relatively undisturbed ungulate habitats are confined to less than 5% of remaining natural vegetation (Karanth et al 2009, 2010). Given this scenario, assessment of factors that contribute to high ungulate densities is of interest to both science and management. My study addresses this critical need.
The overall goal of my study is to examine factors that influence spatial patterns of ungulate distribution and densities in tropical deciduous forests and determine potential drivers of these spatial and population parameters. The study was carried out in Nagarahole-Bandipur area, which is one of the most important critical tiger-prey habitats in India.

Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn has had a series of public appearances lately, making seemingly unrelated remarks…
Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn has had a series of public appearances lately, making seemingly unrelated remarks. But they are revelations of the political paralysis deep at the heart of the ruling coalition he leads, gossip observed. Before Parliament, he has shown his courage owning responsibility for the crisis in the Oromia Regional State, hence apology for the loss of hundreds of lives. Such a sense of atonement is rare in politics, least of all in a governing party whose ideological foundation is in the left, claims gossip. It has not come without a rift in the camps of the Revolutionary Democrats, gossip disclosed. There is an element within the ruling coalition, which tends to resist the idea of claiming responsibility, rather preferring to continue externalizing the roots of the crisis to outside forces, claims gossip. Hailemariam wanted to dispel that in public, thereby opening the way for internal political infighting. He is in for a fight for power consolidation, gossip says.
Reminiscent of his predecessor, he decided to have what was hoped to be brutally frank conversation with members of the intelligentsia. Telling them his aspiration to see an open and pluralistic society with a competitive marketplace of ideas was tantamount to taking the political battlefield from the small and often secretive inner circle of the EPRDFites out to the public, claims gossip. It is as if he cried out to the public that the stake – infighting within the Front – is too high for the intelligentsia to remain aloof and stay on the sidelines. His narrative appears to be a precursor to justify what could be a possible purge of senior leaders of the ruling party accused of harbouring a "chauvinist" and "narrow" nationalism, which is seen as an off-shoot of corruption and abuse of political office, claims gossip.
Political rupture of a kind that will lead for second edition of "reform" in the camps of the Revolutionary Democrats appears to be imminent, gossip foresees. Largely, it will be prompted by the crisis within the OPDO, whose leadership is divided over the source and nature of the overwhelmingly persistent public protests in the region, claims gossip. The popular protests in the Oromia Region lingered so long and smeared enough that the fault lines it caused in the OPDO and in the EPRDF are becoming obvious even to casual observers.
There is the group under Muktar Kedir, chairman of the party and president of the regional state, alongside Aster Mamo, a politbureau member. It stands on the opposite side of the political aisle where the veteran Abadula Gemeda leads politicians such as Lemma Megerssa, speaker of the regional council, Workneh Gebeyehu, minister of Transport, and others, gossip revealed. The crack became visible during a high level meeting held couple of months ago in Adama, where the OPDO issued a 15-point resolution – voted against by the first two – and became unpopular among other EPRDFites in the Front, gossip disclosed.
While Muktar et al are criticized for their indecisiveness and hesitance, Abadula and allies are accused of giving in to populist demands articulated by their archrivals but undermining the Front's cohesion, claims gossip. The good old Front, the EPRDF, appears to be losing its traditional vigour in functioning as a potent organ, largely due to pressure from its members demanding broader autonomy, claims gossip. Its Secretariat, now entrusted to Kebede Chane of ANDM, has never been as weak in imposing its will on the members of the coalition, gossip claims.
The survival of the Front as a functional party and other sensitive issues will emerge as political battleground soon when the EPRDF convenes its meeting of the council, comprising close to 180 delegates, gossip disclosed. There may be no political taboo in tabling issues; from the Front's reinforcement to the extent of autonomy its members want to exercise and the purging of debauched and jacklegged leaders in its midst will be up for candid talks, claims gossip.
A paper is authored for distribution to members of the council on which debate is to be held, gossip disclosed. Whichever group prevails though, there will follow massive purges crossing national party lines in a way and proportion no less dramatic than what the party went through in the aftermath of the Ethiopia-Eritrean war, gossip anticipates. Neither will the political trauma be less walloping, claims gossip.

Meghan McCain gets fact-checked on new Kavanaugh accuser — and asks if Clarence Thomas got impeached
Travis Gettys
"The View" host Whoopi Goldberg had to fact-check Meghan McCain's description of a New York Times correction in a bombshell new report about Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
The newspaper reported that the FBI failed to interview former Yale classmates about sexual misconduct allegations against Kavanaugh during the confirmation process last fall, and the authors of a new book found a new accuser.
McCain pointed to an editor's note appended to the story that she believes casts doubt on the new reporting, but Goldberg asked her to clean up some of the claims she made.

"What we know about the article that came out, and again, I have not led investigations so I can't speak to the legalities of it, but I can speak to the politics of it," McCain said. "The woman that was named in the article that was supposedly victimized says she denies any memory of the alleged event."
Goldberg interrupted, and pointed out that the new alleged victim, according to the Times, declined to be interviewed and friends said she does not recall the incident, which was recounted by former classmates.
"Okay," McCain said, "again, this is very nebulous, and if it's hard for us to explain, and I think the New York Times, the fact they didn't mention it came from Max Stier who was a Clinton defense attorney who battled with Kavanaugh during the Whitewater investigation is a fact we should have known."
McCain said the new allegations were too lewd to repeat on daytime television, but she didn't think the report would change anyone's opinion about Kavanaugh or his fitness to serve a lifetime judicial appointment.
"This is a battleground culture war issue right now," she said. "There's a thing called the 'Kavanaugh effect,' which happened during midterms where moderate Democrats ended up losing their seats because of Kavanaugh. Heidi Heitkamp, Claire McCaskill, Joe Donnelly, Bill Nelson. The politics of this — going into 2020, you want to impeach Trump and impeach Kavanaugh. Is that the winning strategy for democrats going forward in 2020? I want to know, do you think that's what's going to win over the Rust Belt?"
Co-host Sunny Hostin didn't think Democrats would try to impeach Kavanaugh, because impeachment of a U.S. Supreme Court justice was historically rare and politically risky.
"It's happened to federal judges, certainly," Hostin said. "I think there have been impeachment proceedings against one Supreme Court justice, probably in the 1800s if I'm — tweet me if I'm wrong."
McCain asked if a justice hadn't been targeted for impeachment more recently, and seemed genuinely surprised by Hostin's answer.
"Clarence Thomas, did they?" McCain said. "No? Okay."
Hostin said the justice appears safe, but she said the president who appointed him might still face impeachment.
"It's not going to happen, and it's not a winning strategy," Hostin said. "Impeaching Trump, I don't know."

John Oliver unleashes on news sites that sent out stupid push notifications
Sarah K. Burris
"Last Week Tonight" host John Oliver doesn't come back until Feb. 16, but he dropped a new web-exclusive video Sunday complaining to news agencies that they should stop sending out stupid push notifications on their apps.
Oliver told his audience that there are two major criteria when considering a push notification: 1. Is there something I should be doing differently?; and 2. Is this something I need to know now?
Things like declarations of war, earthquakes or acts of terrorism are all perfect examples of things news agencies should inform readers about quickly. But when CNN sent out a push notification about a 115,000 Neanderthal child that was only found "half-eaten" by a bird, Oliver was understandably frustrated.
Billionaires are now richer than 60 percent of the world's population: report
The world's billionaires have doubled in the past decade and are richer than 60 percent of the global population, the charity Oxfam said Monday.
It said poor women and girls were at the bottom of the scale, putting in "12.5 billion hours of unpaid care work each and every day," estimated to be worth at least $10.8 trillion a year.
"Our broken economies are lining the pockets of billionaires and big business at the expense of ordinary men and women. No wonder people are starting to question whether billionaires should even exist," Oxfam's India head Amitabh Behar said.
"The gap between rich and poor can't be resolved without deliberate inequality-busting policies," Behar said ahead of the annual World Economic Forum in Davos, where he will represent Oxfam.
Alcohol-infused gummy bears infuriating candy giant Haribo
Ander Mendez and his friends were hoping they'd struck it rich when they came up with the idea of selling alcohol-infused gummy bears -- until they found themselves in the sights of sweet giant Haribo.
Now, these three Spaniards say they're afraid of being shut down by the German confectionery king, which is famed for its vast array of jelly sweets and was founded 100 years ago in the western city of Bonn.
In a not-so-sweetly worded legal letter, Haribo has accused their startup of infringing its trademarked little bear.
But these graduates from the northern Spanish port city of Bilbao insist they will carry on producing their "drunken gummy bears" -- "because people like them."

A Revolution in Drug Delivery

Lym-X-Sorb®: Nutritional:
Malnutrition and Sports Applications
Lym-X-Sorb®, made of GRAS components, is a patented lipid complex which enables fat and medicine to be absorbed into the body from the intestines and into the lymphatic system. Lym-X-Sorb® can improve the lives of those who have temporary or permanent, often debilitating, medical conditions, such as malabsorption problems due to illness, metabolic, other health reasons, which make it impossible for them to digest fat in the normal way. Lym-X-Sorb® is a novel product that could potentially be used to increase the absorption of vitamins and nutraceuticals as well as to enhance the performance of athletes. In addition, at a worldwide level, the number of people—particularly children—who are affected adversely by malnutrition totals in the tens of millions. Lym-X-Sorb® could play a significant role in reducing the staggering death total among children stemming from malnutrition and digestive distress.
Lym-X-Sorb® is a readily absorbable oral eutectic complex that is absorbed without the need for enzymatic digestion. It can also be used as a medical food and has been proven to be an active agent in treating nutritional disorders by supplementing dietary fat; and it is capable of delivering therapeutic essential fatty acid stores. The utilization of Lym-X-Sorb® has been demonstrated to be effective in the treatment of cystic fibrosis where patients display compromised pancreatic function and have difficulty absorbing nutritional fat. Demonstrated benefits to CF patients in a one year, double blind study include: increased energy intake from diet; increased plasma levels of linoleic and a-linoleic acid; increased plasma levels of vitamins A and E and retinal binding protein (Vitamin A); increased growth in terms of weight and height; improved lung functions; fewer hospital stays and improved quality of life due to increased energy and sense of well-being. (J Pediatr 2002:141:178-85 and editorial p.157).
Both Lym-X-Sorb® and triglyceride(TG) contain a carbon-13 label fatty acid. These stable isotope labeled formulations were taken orally by healthy and cystic fibrosis subjects without enzyme supplements. Expired 13CO2 was monitored over time. The absorption of Lym-X-Sorb® and TG in control, normal subjects were equivalent. Lym-X-Sorb® was absorbed in CF subjects to the same extent as control subjects but there was a delay in the expiration of 13CO2. The CF subjects without enzyme supplement did not absorb the TG as indicated by minimal expiration of 13CO2. The findings in toto indicate that Lym-X-Sorb® represents a readily absorbable lipid matrix.
13CO2 Expiration as a Function of 13C-LXS™ or 13C-TG Consumption:
Expired 13CO2 as Area Under the Curve as a Function of Time After Consuming 13C-Labeled Lym-X-Sorb® or Triglycerides in Control and Cystic Fibrosis Patients without enzyme supplement.
CF patients (CF) and healthy patients (C) had equivalent absorption of LXS™ which was similar to 13C-labeled triglcerides in healthy subjects (C).
In 2006 the NIH, National Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Disease Division awarded funding for a study (2 R44 DK060302-02A1 entitled Organized Lipid Matrix: Fatty Acids and Choline in Cystic Fibrosis). This six million dollar program has conducted a randomized placebo-controlled double-blinded study to evaluate the effectiveness of the next generation Lym-X-Sorb® with improved palatability and mixing characteristics on fatty acid and choline status of 78 children, ages 6.0 to 17.9 years, with cystic fibrosis CF) and pancreatic insufficiency (PI). Also explored was whether Lym-X-Sorb® supplementation improved fat soluble vitamin status, bile composition, incidence of fatty liver, inflammatory cytokines, resting energy expenditure and respiratory quotient over 12 months and whether there was improved pulmonary function, growth status, body composition and overall health status over 18 months. The data collection ended in June 2011, with report to follow. See Nutritional Studies page for more information.
Lym-X-Sorb® could eventually mean the difference between life and death for many thousands of sufferers from malnutrition, dysentery, and other ailments. While it is not a cure for dysentery, for instance, it could keep a patient alive until he or she recovered. Lym-X-Sorb® can also be used as a high caloric supplementation for HIV therapy, elderly nutrition, DHA delivery, malabsorption diseases and lipid replacement for high performance athletes (see Sports Applications).

See below for the Most Excellent Grand Superintendent's Address and scroll further down the page to see this year's Appointments and Promotions.
"Companions, once again a very warm welcome to you all. It is wonderful to see so many of you here this morning. I am delighted that so many remembered we have moved and managed to find our new venue.
Once again an especial welcome to all our distinguished visitors; you are all very busy Masons and we really appreciate you giving of your time to attend.
I am, as you can imagine, delighted to be with you again this morning. I do apologise for missing last year's meeting and perhaps now everyone will stop telling me how well my Deputy performed and that it was the best meeting for several years. I take consolation in knowing how well I have trained him!
"E. Comp Michael Taylor has carried out his duties in an exemplary manner"
I start by congratulating all the Companions who received promotion or appointment this morning. I trust by now that you know this is reward for future efforts as well as past endeavours.
John Crowther and Alan Robertson appointed P.G.St.B.
and Our new Third Provincial Grand Principle who will be appointed to P.G.St.B. in 12 days' time.
I must thank all the Provincial officers who have supported the Presiding Officer at the installation meetings throughout the Province. It is greatly appreciated by the Team as well as by the Chapters.
Companions, recruitment of new members is as ever an important activity in which we must all be involved. Last year we introduced the Talking Heads Presentation. I do hope that you have or will take the opportunity to see this presentation - Companions it works! Every event has lead to new recruits - at Remembrance Lodge last month 3 Exaltees signed up on the night.
"...we all want new members but we have to work to find them..."
I thank you all for the tremendous support you have given the Provincial Charity Fund. You will see from the accounts that the Fund is growing well. Let me tell you where your moneys are going.
I am sure you will agree that all these causes deserve our support. Please carry on with your good work.
Today we saw the installation of a new Provincial Executive.
I must thank E Comp John Crowther for his efforts as 3rd Provincial Grand Principle. John has carried out his duties to the highest standard and has been a pleasure to work with.
We have also seen the installation of a new Deputy. I have been very fortunate to have had 2 superb Deputies. E Comp Michael Taylor has carried out his duties in an exemplary manner and I thank him most sincerely for his wise council and advice. But most of all his friendship.
Therefore we have 3 companions taking on new responsibilities. They are all skilled and experienced and I know that they will fulfil their new roles with proficiency.
Every Masonic unit has to have a Treasurer by law. I do not have just an "accountant" but a very valuable member of the Executive. Thank you Alan for all your valuable advice and guidance.
No Province can function without the support of a number of Companions and I would like to now thank those whose work can go unnoticed.
Today's meeting cannot have taken place without a huge amount of work by the Prov Grand Scribe E, the Prov Grand Registrar and all their assistants and volunteers. Any Provincial meeting requires an immense amount of organisation and moving to what is 2 new venues only increases the workload.
I am very fortunate to have an excellent Grand Director of Ceremonies. I thank him for all his invaluable assistance throughout the year and together with his team particularly for today.
Another Companion who works tirelessly for us all is E Comp Ian Fothergill. He not only manages what goes on to our Website but of course is responsible for Second Rising, our Provincial newsletter. Communication in any organisation is of great importance and Masonry is no different.
We thank you Ian for all you do.
I cannot end without thanking E Comp Irving Horne, our Prov Grand Organist. He not only supports the Province on all occasions but acts as organist for so many Chapters. Following my brief sojourn into organ playing last year, I think we can agree your position is safe.
Companions I am constantly encouraging you to enjoy your Royal Arch Masonry. I am pleased that you are listening to my please. In fact Companions only last week I saw a Companion smiling during a Chapter meeting.
Companions let us never forget that we should have but one aim in view - to unite in the grand design of being happy ourselves and communicating happiness.
As outlined in the book of Constitutions, The Grand Superintendent shall hold an Annual Convocation at which the appointment of Provincial Grand Officers shall be made. He may also hold such other Convocations of Provincial Grand Chapter as he shall consider necessary.
All such Convocations shall be held within the Province unless a dispensation is granted by the First Grand Principal.

War of the Rebellion: Serial 011 Page 0248 KY.,TENN.,N.MISS.,N.ALA.,AND SW.VA. Chapter XXII.
No. 98. In Field, near Corinth, June 2, 1862.
2. Brig. Gen. J. B. S. Todd, having reported for duty in the Army Corps of the Tennessee, is hereby assigned to the command of the Sixth Division of the same, and will relieve Brig. Gen. T. J. McKean.
WASHINGTON, June 2, 1862-6 p.m.
Your telegram of the 31st has just been received. The movements from Corinth would have been notified to you from here, but supposed you would receive immediate notice from General Halleck. Our accounts are that the rebels are retreating from Corinth south to Okolona, in Alabama, chased by Pope with 50,000 men.
General McClellan was attacked before Richmond on Saturday afternoon, but the enemy were repulsed after a hard battle yesterday. He is now within 4 miles of Richmond, and we hope that he will occupy it some time this week. There may be another contest, although some think the enemy will fall back without another fight. Banks was driven last week from Winchester by Jackson, who has since retreated on the approach of Fremont and McDowell. I will hereafter keep you advised of all the movements in the field.
HEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT OF THE MISSISSIPPI, Camp near Corinth, June 3, 1862.
You will to-morrow move forward your former division in the direction of Bolivar. A telegraph office will be immediately established at the crossing of the railroad at or near Bethel, by which you can communicate with headquarters at Corinth. Every effort will be made to establish a depot on the railroad in your line of operations. Move forward cautiously, and do not outstrip your supplies. Also detach working parties to repair railroad where necessary, so as to facilitate your supplies. Seize such bridges and important points as may be within your reach. Probably McKean's division will be added to your command, but you must not rely upon this, as circumstances may require that division to move to the left.
Take every precaution against surprises and movements of the enemy on your flank, and keep me constantly advised of your movements and the position and wants of your troops.

Amirah, 5th Annual Alternative Night, featured February 2012
Amirah began her dance journey at the age of 3 and has passionately explored the art form ever since. As a competitive gymnast for 10 years, she extensively studied ballet, modern dance, and hip hop. She continued modern dance while at college, studying under Hilary McDaniels-Douglas. It was at this community center she heard the jingling of hipscarves for the first time. In 2002, Amirah began studying belly dance under Shuvani of Oasis Belly Dancers. From there, she and fellow students went on to co-found Mirage Bellydancers, a Purdue University Official Student Organization, in 2004. It was here that Amirah developed her own style and technique.
While she mostly performs fusion, Amirah enjoys studying and performing all styles of belly dance. Her personal style is a fusion of modern dance, popping, and waving, with tribal and cabaret stylizations. As an instructor, Amirah focuses on technique and muscle control as a foundation for interpretation of music. She concentrates on teaching her students concepts which they can apply many different ways to help inspire them to be creative and hone in on their own style. Amirah was the head instructor and creative director of Mirage Bellydancers from 2005 – 2011. She has also taught workshops all over the Midwest, including at Zafira's dance studios in Pittsburg, and as a featured instructor for festivals such as Qiana (http://www.jezfever.com/events.html) in Akron, OH, Gothalyptic in Louisville, KY, and Midwest Tribal Mafia (http://midwesttribalmafia.com/) in Chicago.
Amirah is also quite passionate about playing music, and has been a member of Indy's 16th century rock band, Il Troubadore since 2007, with whom she dances and plays Middle Eastern clarinet, dumbek, and riq (www.troubadore.com). She has had the opportunity to perform with musicians such as Jeremiah Soto (Solace), August Hoerr (the Mezmer Society), Brett Zwerdling (Maharal), Melissa Murphey and Ishtar, and many others.
Amirah moved from West Lafayette, Indiana to Corvallis, Oregon in July of 2011. She is inspired by the community of dancers here and excited to be a part of it! Amirah is currently teaching hip hop fusion and the art of composition on Tuesday evenings at Downtown Dance Studio in Corvallis. More information can be found on her website: www.amirahfusion.com or at http://www.facebook.com/AmirahDance.
