The 50 per cent off deal includes a vast array of baby clothes, as well as everything from pushchairs, feeding products, toys and car seats.
The Mirror reports it was originally spotted by MoneySavingExpert , and unsurprisingly the post attracted lots of attention from parents, who are keen to bag a bargain at the usually more-expensive store.
We've listed out some of our favourite options below, which, at the time of writing, were all the best prices we could find online, although it's always worth double checking yourself too.

A Russian scientist told state media Tuesday he worked on an official program to produce the nerve agent Britain says was used against ex-spy Sergei Skripal, contradicting Moscow's claims it never developed Novichok. Leonid Rink, who told RIA Novosti he worked on a state-backed program up to the early 1990s, added that the former double agent and his daughter would be dead had Moscow been involved in his poisoning.
"They are still alive. That means that either it was not the Novichok system at all, or it was badly concocted, carelessly applied," he said in the interview. "Or straight after the application, the English used an antidote, in which case they would have had to have known exactly what the poison was," he said. Rink said he worked at a state laboratory in the closed town of Shikhan for 27 years, where the development of Novichok formed the basis of his doctoral dissertation.
"A large group of specialists in Shikhan and Moscow worked on 'Novichok'," he said. Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov last week said Moscow never had any programs to develop the chemical weapon. "I want to state with all possible certainty that the Soviet Union or Russia had no programs to develop a toxic agent called Novichok," he said.
The foreign ministry told news agents on Tuesday this remained its position. London and its allies say Russia was behind the attempted assassination in the English city of Salisbury, but Moscow has angrily denied any involvement. Russian politicians have suggested the poisoning was part of a Western plot to whip up anti-Russian sentiment ahead of the presidential election at the weekend or the World Cup.

Fed Health Plans Won't Cover Abortion Senate Approves Restriction; Critic Calls It 'Gratuitous Slap'
Wed., July 23, 1997
The Senate voted Tuesday to continue barring federal workers' health plans from covering costs of most abortions, overriding objections from Democratic women that government employees were being denied benefits available to private-sector workers.
The restriction, proposed by Sen. Mike DeWine, R-Ohio, was approved 54 to 45 as part of a $25.2 billion appropriations bill for the Treasury Department, Postal Service and many other agencies for the fiscal year starting Oct. 1. It would prohibit "taxpayer subsidy of abortions" for federal workers except in cases of rape, incest and threat to the life of a woman, DeWine said.
Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., complained that it "singles out female federal employees and denies them a medical benefit enjoyed by all other working women."
Sen. Carol Moseley-Braun, D-Ill., called it a "gratuitous slap" at women in government.
The restriction has been in effect since 1984 except for fiscal 1994 and 1995, according to DeWine. The House has not yet acted on its version of the bill but has previously approved the provision and it is considered likely to be enacted.
The spending bill, approved 99 to 0, also includes a ban on cost-of-living increases for members of Congress next year and provides increases of various amounts for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, the U.S. Customs Service, the Internal Revenue Service, the Secret Service and the executive office of the president.
Spending for the Federal Election Commission, which has an enormous backlog of campaign finance cases, was increased by $835,000 to $29 million.
xxxx NW votes Here are Idaho and Washington votes. A "yes" vote was a vote to bar use of federal workers' health insurance for abortions and a "no" vote was a vote to allow abortion coverage. Idaho: Larry Craig (R) Yes; Dirk Kempthorne (R) Yes. Washington: Slade Gorton (R) Yes; Patty Murray (D) No.

How do I scale synthetic trace relative to seismic?
In addition to the wavelet scalar, the display of the synthetic trace in section view is determined by two main factors:
1 - The min/max values of the Class colourbar
2 - The display width of the well track
Please follow these four steps for scaling of your synthetic trace:
- Set the wavelet scalar such that it matches the seismic trace in the synthetic view.
- Set the Class min/max values such that the peaks/troughs of the synthetic trace are just inside the edges of the well track in section view:
- You may now wish to adjust the Display Width of the well track depending on the zoom level in the section view:
The display of the seismic traces is zoom dependent. The display of the well logs is zoom agnostic. Therefore there will likely always be some necessary tweaking of the well track display width. You may also find it useful to deselect Use min/max from class for the volume and adjust the min/max display of the volume (using F5/F6) independently to the synthetic trace.

Anyone who has ever misplaced a purse or wallet knows that feeling: a white hot flash of panic as you realize it's missing. The minor loss is likely the few bucks plus change that was inside. The major problem? You've lost critical identification and credit cards, potentially risking your financial security.
Identity fraud, in which your personal information is used by an imposter to commit crimes, open accounts or make purchases in your name, happens more often than you might think, even to the most tech-savvy people.
Thieves steal information such as names, addresses, phone numbers, social insurance numbers, credit cards and other banking information, driver's licence numbers, birth certificates and passports. To do it, they might steal your mail, prey on online information, or use devices they've installed on a store's payment processing equipment to read your card's magnetic strip. And once they've taken it, they may have access to your money and may be able to finance spending sprees, open new bank accounts, get loans or lines of credit, redirect your mail, apply for social benefits and even give you a false criminal record.
Be a fraudster's worst enemy – help protect yourself against identity theft using these key fraud prevention tips:

Techniques to Sell your Property.
It's vital that you put the effort in, whenever you're seeking to sell your house. Otherwise, you will end up reaping less money than your property is actually worth. Simple changes can alter the manner in which your property is viewed by prospective buyers. So why take the risk that somebody will not have the intention to see the value of your realty? On the contrary, you need take charge of this unfavorable reality. Ensure that it is impossible for everyone to fault-find with the price and your house that it's listed at. You will have to keep monitoring real estate trends if you would like to see superb returns on your undertaking from the property market. Below are tips for you to get set to sell your home.
Put in Good money in security
Among the requirements for buyers would be to dwell in a location. Apparently, you can't do much about your home/house location. You are able to invest in its security. Make sure that your house is 100% safe. Take steps mentioned by your own estate agent, and it may be showcased on your home list. You could invest in windows that are outfitted with safety latches and doors that lock automatically. It's also good to discuss security measures with the people in your building should you reside in an apartment. As an example, you could present even a principle which says that nobody is allowed in without the business of a gardener or a key to a building, or even a strategy. This really is an effective way to assure buyers who are skeptic and entice them into buying the property.
Redecorate The Interior
You should factor in the way in which you've finished your d?cor. It is crucial to look outside your preferences when purchasing property. Simply because you prefer patterns, and bright colors, does not mean that someone else will. In reality, a majority of buyers have been drawn to some plain layout because it gives them the opportunity to imagine their own furniture. This doesn't mean your property need be bare. Rather, strive to strike the ideal balance between tone and neutrality.
Hire Exterminator Solutions
Employing an exterminator agency to free your property of insects is the very best method to make sure that your house is clean. Why run the risk of scaring away prospective buyers? You could be wondering: is there some pest management nearby me in Durham NC? The solution is yes. You can rely on services which will rid you of termites, bed insects, mice and rats, cockroaches, mosquitoes, spiders, etc. It is well worth investing in top-notch fumigation experts so buyers are guaranteed that your house is free from any pests. This is due to the fact that pests can spread diseases. And so are a danger in any home, the reason it's essential to eliminate them. Since when your property is sold, locate pests and its residents might attempt to find some money back should they move in, you should look at this investment. They could assert that it's your duty. If your house will be vacant for a couple of weeks, and you worry that it may be vulnerable to pests, you will need to employ safety measures. By relying on what you won't have to think about pests endangering your purchase.

Three Keys To Hacking Your Communication & Improving Your Results
Scott Stein (pictured below) is a leadership pathfinder and author of Leadership Hacks: Clever shortcuts to boost your impact and results. In this guest post, he explains why it's time for leaders to hack their communication to get better results in less time…
Everyone knows that a leaders ability to communicate is critical to success. The challenge is that many leaders mix up their communication which results in mixed messages, confusion and lost time. So how do you hack your communication so you connect with your people faster?
When Chip Bergh became CEO of Levis Strauss he knew that things needed to change and he had to turn things around quickly given their sales had dropped by $3billion in the previous five years. According to Harvard Business Review, rather than telling his people what to do, Bergh asked his top staff a number of questions first: 'What are the three things we should not change? What are three things we absolutely must change? What's one thing you're hoping I'll do? What's one thing you're afraid I'll do?'
What Bergh did was to communicate by asking for their insights, rather than just telling them what they needed to change. He hacked the typical communication approach to understand and mobilise his people. There are three common communication approaches that are used in communication. Tell, show or ask.
- Tell. This is the most common form of communication. One person tells the other person what they need to know or what they want them to do. It is generally a traditional one-way method that is seen as the fast way to communicate.
- Show. Showing is an ideal way of communicating when you want to increase a person's knowledge of how something operates or why something needs to occur. By using pictures, diagrams, shapes and images to communicate, this enables a deeper level of understanding.
- Ask. Asking enables a leader to engage the other person in a way that invites open discussion and mutual sharing of ideas. It also shows that you value the other person's ideas and perspectives, which strengthens the relationship.
The smart leader will mix up their communication to ensure that they use a range of tell, show and ask depending on who they are delivering their message to. Here are three keys to hacking your communication so your message gets through faster.
Key #1: hack your sequence
To be effective you need to use all three communication approaches. Make a conscious effort to mix up the method you use. For some projects start by asking people what their thoughts are and for other tasks show people what you mean by drawing a diagram of what they need to know or take action on. I know one leader that started using her iphone to record her conversations and afterward analyse her approach. After a week she could easily hear what she needed to change.
Key #2: start by asking
When you start your communication by asking, you are demonstrating that you value the other person's ideas. It puts them on a level playing field and allows you to steer them in a particular direction. It also enables you to gather their thoughts before you have given yours to identify their current level of understanding.
Key #3: reduce telling people what to do
Many of us fall into the habit of just telling people what to do because it is the easiest approach. Resist the temptation. When you get into the habit of just talking at people the relationship can start to shift. Asking anyone that has a boss that just tells them what to do. Many of them report it makes them feel like they are on the receiving end of a drill sergeant—never good for morale.
By hacking your approach to communication you can get your message across clearer—and hopefully allow others to take action faster.

What to Do When Your Exotic or Pocket Pet Is Sick
A small animal is a big responsibility. They depend on their owners to provide the right environment, appropriate diet, grooming, and enrichment, not to mention disease and parasite prevention.
Caring for an exotic or pocket pet can be incredibly rewarding when all of these components are aligned, but things can go really wrong – really fast. Knowing what to do when an emergency illness appears can make all the difference when your exotic or pocket is sick.Continue…
Exotic Pet Care: Finding the Right Fit
Dogs and cats will probably always be the most popular pets, but exotic animals have been rising in popularity in recent years. Exotic animals are defined as those who haven't been domesticated and are relatively uncommon as pets.
Many people assume that certain exotic pets are easier to care for than a dog or cat due to their smaller size, but this isn't always the case. Exotic pet care can range from relatively simple to highly complicated, so it's always best to do your research before making a decision.
Summertime Safety for Exotic Pets
As the temperatures start to soar and the humidity rises, summer can take an additional toll on exotic and pocket-sized pets. Although hot weather certainly affects cats and dogs, these special creatures often need additional care and consideration when it comes to housing and temperature control.
Summer is also peak season for travel, and many pet owners want to bring their tiny pals along. Some pets are also much more susceptible to heatstroke due to where they originate, and parasites that can harm exotics are in abundance this time of year.
Get the scoop about caring for exotic pets during the summer season by checking out our tips and recommendations!
Cute as a Button: Your Guide to Pocket Pet Care
What's small enough to sit in your palm, furry, and heart-meltingly cute? Pocket pets, of course! Guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, ferrets, rabbits, and other small animals (from mice to lizards) are often perceived as easier to care for than other pets. However, the reality is that pocket pet care requires similar levels of time, energy, and medical attention.
Small for Small Spaces
In an era that celebrates tiny houses and living with a smaller footprint, pocket pets are becoming more and more popular. Of course, many people who live in apartments are also limited when it comes to the type of pets that are allowed, and pockets pets fit the bill nicely.
Although pocket pets don't depend on daily walks like dogs, they do depend on clean living standards, routine interaction, and veterinary care – all of which The Pet Experts at Springbrook Animal Care Center are happy to assist you with.

Background: Butcher's broom plant extract has been reported to improve lymphatic flow and the trace mineral, selenium, has been shown to improve lymphedema. This retrospective case study examines the effectiveness of Butcher's broom in conjunction with selenium to decrease limb volume of a patient with lipedema, a common fat distribution disorder with excess adipose tissue fluid. Methods: Selenium (400 mcg) was initiated 6 days prior to limb volume evaluation utilizing perometry. The patient underwent physical therapy that consisted of manual lymph drainage (MLD) with Histological Variable Manual Technique (HIVAMAT), and compression bandaging. Butcher's broom (one gram daily) was added on day 95 of treatment in addition to selenium and both were continued through day 293 (end of study). Results: Total volume reduction over the study period for the left and right upper extremities and left and right lower extremities was 525 ml and 225 ml (p<0.05), and 1769 ml and 1614 ml (p<0.0001), respectively. The total percent volume reduction during the time period when MLD with HIVAMAT and compression bandaging were performed for the left and right legs was 70.6 and 79.0%, respectively. In the absence of compression bandaging, the left and right arms lost 21.2 and 10% of initial volumes, respectively at the 6 month follow-up visit. During the latter part of the study when the patient was performing a home maintenance program, at which time selenium and Butcher's broom were continued, the left and right lower extremities decreased an additional 29.4 and 20.9% of initial volumes, respectively, despite a lack of exercise due to a foot injury during the last 46 days. Conclusion: Butcher's broom and selenium may offer new tools in conjunction with physical therapy to improve swelling and pain associated with lipedema.
Lipedema; Lipoedema; Lipolymphedema; Butcher's broom; Selenium
Lipedema was first named in 1940 by Drs. Allen and Hines at the Mayo Clinic [1,2] though there are case reports in the literature dating back to the 1800s that suggest lipedema has been around much longer [3,4]. A distinct disorder from lymphedema due to the general lack of involvement of the feet or hands, there is an increase in adipose tissue in lipedema, usually in the hips, buttocks, legs and arms that cannot be effectively reduced by diet or exercise [5]; the physiology includes interstitial edema of increased adipose tissue triggered by a disturbance of blood capillary permeability [6]. Lymphatic fluid flow in lipedema is increased early but later becomes depressed and aneurysms form [7] if left untreated, lipedema can progress to lymphedema, a condition referred to as lipolymphedema, where the excess lymph fluid can worsen the lipedema in both extent and amount [8].
Lipedema, although reported as rare, [9] is a common fat distribution disorder [9,10] reported to affect between 11% [9,10] to 39% of the female population [11]. The clinical signs and symptoms of lipedema include unregulated growth of nodular (and often times painful) fatty deposits on the lower body and arms which cannot be lost with diet or exercise, and when palpated feel like beans in a bag [12]. Other clinical manifestations include edema, easy bruising, and an asymmetry in body shape, where the lower half of the body is much larger in subcutaneous adipose tissue volume as compared to the upper body [13]. Lipomas may also be found in the adipose tissue as isolated or clustered masses which are non-encapsulated [12,14]. Lipedema primarily affects women, and is usually diagnosed at puberty or by the third decade [15]. Lipedema can be exacerbated or incited to develop by pregnancy and childbirth or menopause [16]. The development of fatty tissue deposits or lipomas can reduce mobility. This induces patients with lipedema to seek medical care, yet this patient population may go undiagnosed for years. Many patients with lipedema self-diagnose and bring the concept of lipedema to the attention of their healthcare provider.
The diagnosis of lipedema must be made clinically as there are no biological markers. Even though lipedema can be an inherited condition, likely autosomal dominant passing from mother or father to daughter [15], there are currently no known associated genes.
Current treatment of the fluid component of lipedema (and lipolymphedema) includes complete decongestive therapy (CDT) consisting of MLD, compression bandaging, exercise, meticulous skin care, and patient education on self-management of lymphedema. Ultimately, patients are fitted with a compression garment to inhibit the return of fluid to the adipose tissue [17]. Improvement in limb volume by CDT in a patient with lipedema has been demonstrated, [18] with a reduction of circumference of approximately 10% and a decrease in volume of up to three liters per leg [19,20]. Compression garments are worn to maintain the decrease in fluid achieved with CDT [13].
To support CDT-induced reduction in fluid in the lipedema fat, we investigated supplements that improve lymphedema. Selenium is a trace mineral which has been shown to reduce lymphedema by lowering fluid retention rates within the body [19,20]. Butcher's broom, a powdered extract in capsule form derived from the plant, Ruscus aculeatus, has been shown to bind as an agonist to alpha adrenergic receptors on lymph cells, increasing lymph fluid movement within lymph vessels [21,22]. There are no published data on the use of selenium or Butcher's broom in lipedema. In this case report, these two supplements were used to support the reduction in limb volume achieved with CDT for a patient with lipedema. Despite a lack of exercise after CDT, our patient continued to lose volume and weight while taking selenium and Butcher's broom.
This case report was considered to be exempt by the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) Human Research and Protection Program. The patient with lipedema in this case report was cared for at the UCSD Medical Offices South and at New Horizons Physical Therapy in San Diego, California, USA. Informed consent was obtained from the patient for publication of this case report.
Limb volume
Limb volume was assessed utilizing a vertically oriented perometer (Pero-System Meβgeräte GmbHModel Type 1000 M). A perometer is an optoelectronic limb volumeter that utilizes infrared beams to assess limb volume in milliliters (ml) and has been validated against the tape measure method with a high test-retest reliability and acceptable measurement error [21]. Limb volume was assessed at the initial evaluation, at the end of each week of treatment, and one-month post treatment. Reassessments were also performed at three and six months post treatment.
Physical therapy
The physical therapy treatment provided to the patient consisted of MLD with HIVAMAT, skin care, compression bandaging, and compression garments. Manual lymph drainage is a manual technique that is utilized to increase lymphatic flow and therefore decrease stagnate lymph fluid. Skin care consisted of inspection of the skin for any signs of trauma or infection, as well as moisturizing the skin. The HIVAMAT (HIVAMAT® 200 Personal; Activiva, Pulheim, GM) is device that creates a deep oscillation within the tissue by an intermittent electrostatic field. It has been used for treatment of pain and swelling in secondary lymphedema of the breast [22,23] and wound healing [24]. Compression bandaging is a multiple layer short stretch compression bandage that is applied over the length of the limb and worn 24 hours per day during the treatment phase. The compression garments were utilized after the completion of compression bandaging during the treatment phase, as well as during the maintenance phase; the garments were worn during waking hours only.
Oral supplements to lessen fluid retention
The patient was started on selenium (400 mcg daily) 6 days prior to physical therapy and was continued to the end of study (day 293). The patient was also started on Butcher's broom (1 gram daily) on day 95.
Changes in average upper and lower extremity volume were assessed by repeated measures ANOVA; Tukey's multiple comparison tests was used to compare limb volumes versus baseline. Spearman correlation was used to compare body weight to limb volume change. A p value <0.05 was considered significant.
The patient is a 67 year old female who presented to clinic complaining of increasing leg size (swelling). The patient reported discomfort in her lower legs that included pain with sitting, though the pain would lessen with exercise. She also complained of problems with balance, secondary to the swelling in her legs. On review of systems, the patient stated she felt fatigued with flu-like symptoms and felt thirsty all the time. Additional symptoms included vertigo, headaches, hearing loss, not sleeping well at night, difficulty swallowing, fluctuations in body temperature, and bloating. General abdominal pain had subsided when she began a protein drink that contained polyphenols. She also complained of frequent urination during the day, felt she retained water during the day, and had nocturia. The patient reported that muscle and joint aches were common, especially in the lower legs. It was noted that her skin bruised easily in lipoma clusters, and she had itching and burning sensations.
The patients exercise regimen included Pilates, weight training and walking. The patient continued with her exercise regimen throughout most the treatment phase until she injured her foot on day 247. She wore prescription grade (30-40 mmHg) thigh high compression stockings on a daily basis.
The patient's past medical history (and medications in brackets) included a diagnosis of Celiac disease (gluten allergy) [digestive enzymes and probiotics], diabetes type 2 [pioglitazone], dyslipidemia [atorvastatin], and hypertension [verapamil and lisinopril]. The patient also reported that she was on an aspirin regimen for primary prevention of cardiovascular disease.
Physical examination of body fat and skin
Presentation of the head and neck were normal. There was nodular fat that upon palpation felt like beans in a bag. For the purpose of this article this type of nodular fat will be referred to as lipedema fat. The patient presented with lipedema fat from the wrists extending up the arms with the left wrist being larger than the right, and both with small lipomas. The patient presented with enlarged lipedema fat around the medial cubital areas extending up to the acromion with normal fat medially along the clavicle to the sternum. Veins were easily visible under the skin on the arms and appeared enlarged. The hands were normal with minimal to no fat and easily visible veins. Lipedema fat was present on the upper chest, abdomen, hips and buttocks. The thighs had lipedema fat throughout the anterior and posterior aspects with a thinning of the skin on the superior-medial aspect of the thighs; varicose veins were easily visible under the skin. There were raised areas of thin skin in a bubble pattern all over the thighs and indentations with a mattress-like appearance consistent with stage II lipedema. The knees had tender lipedema fat pads that extended medially between the knees. There were pockets of fat on the ankles bilateral with enlarged medial and lateral perimalleolar fat pads, with the right side more affected than the left. The initial diagnosis was lipedema stage II with lipolymphedema. There was the possibility of the lipedema being induced and/or exacerbated by thiazolidinedione use, as these drugs are known to cause fluid retention and peripheral adipose tissue growth [25,26].
Management and outcome
The patient was prescribed MLD to decongest lymphatics and encourage movement of lymph, compression garments for support of vasculature (blood and lymph), skin brushing to encourage blood flow in the skin and movement of lymph into initial lymphatics in the skin, mechanical movement of lymph through exercise, and maintaining normal blood and lymphatic structure though diet and polyphenols.
The main oral treatment prescribed at this visit was selenium, a trace mineral that has been shown to decrease edema in tissues and reduce the incidence of erysipelas skin infections in patients with chronic lymphedema [27,28], with the goal being to decrease pre-lymph fluid in the tissue and therefore adipose tissue growth.
The patient underwent an initial evaluation of limb perometry and digital photography of bilateral upper and lower extremities (Figures 1 and 2). The patient presented with a volume of 2455 ml for the left upper extremity, and 2254 ml for the right upper extremity (Figures 1 and 3). The patient also presented with a volume of 8593 ml for the left lower extremity, and 8490 ml for the right lower extremity (Figures 2 and 3).
Figure 1: Photograph of patient's bilateral upper extremities pre and posttreatment. A) Patient's upper extremities 6 days after initiation of selenium and before physical therapy. Note the indentations in the skin and fat from the bra straps (arrows), and the enlarged fat deposits in the cubital areas (upper arrowheads), and the cuffs of fat at the wrists (lower arrowheads) with a lack of increased fat on the hands. B) Patient's six month reassessment post treatment on the last day of perometry measurement (day 293) while taking selenium, Butcher's broom and off pioglitazone. Note the reduction in fat in the cubital areas (upper arrowheads) and complete absence of the cuff of fat at the wrist on the right arm (lower arrowhead).

Note the raised areas of thin skin in a bubble pattern all over the thighs (some denoted by arrows) and the fat pads on the anterior shins below the knees as well as the pockets of fat on the lateral malleoli (arrowheads). Note also the lack of increased fat on the foot. B) Patient's six month reassessment post treatment and on the last day of perometry measurement (day 293) while taking selenium, Butcher's broom and off pioglitazone. Note that there are fewer raised areas of thin skin in a bubble pattern on the thighs, and that the fat pads below the knee and around the malleoli appear decreased, but are not absent.

The physical therapist diagnosed the patient with moderate, stage II lipolymphedema of bilateral upper extremities, and severe, stage II lipolymphedema of bilateral lower extremities. The patient was prescribed physical therapy to include MLD, skin care, HIVAMAT, compression bandaging and therapeutic exercise 5 times a week for 1-4 weeks for each limb, with weekly reassessment of volume measures.
The patient underwent physical therapy 4-5 times per week for 6 weeks, during which time she continued her selenium. The patient received MLD with HIVAMAT, and compression bandaging for three weeks for the right lower extremity, and one week for the left lower extremity. The patient did not undergo compression bandaging of her upper extremities secondary to reports of pain after the first visit of compression bandaging of the left upper extremity but did undergo MLD with HIVAMAT for bilateral upper extremities for four visits each limb.
Volume measurements of limbs were reassessed after the first week of treatment for the left lower extremity measuring 2466 ml in volume for the left upper extremity, and 2254 ml in volume for the right upper extremity, both unchanged from previous. The left lower extremity measured 8023 ml and the right lower extremity 8065 ml, representing a 570 ml and 425 ml decrease, respectively, or a 6.6% and 5.0% change in volume (Figure 3). This changed the diagnosis to moderate, stage II lipolymphedema of bilateral lower extremities. The patient was measured and fitted with a compression garment for the left lower extremity.
The patient's second week of physical therapy consisted of right lower extremity treatment. The reassessment by perometry at the end of the second week revealed the left upper extremity had a volume of 2309 ml and the right upper extremity had a volume of 2208 ml, representing a decrease of 157 ml in the left upper extremity and 46 ml in the right upper extremity, or a 6.3% and 2.0% change in volume, respectively, compared to the volumes noted during the initial evaluation (Figure 3). The patient presented with 7604 ml in the left lower extremity and 7817 ml for the right lower extremity, representing a 989 ml decrease in the left lower extremity and 673 ml decrease in the right lower extremity, or a 11.5% and 7.9% respective decrease as compared to the initial evaluation. The patient was measured and fitted with a compression garment for the right lower extremity at that time.
The patient proceeded with the third week of treatment for the left upper extremity. Again, compression bandaging was not tolerated; therefore MLD and HIVAMAT were not performed. The volume reassessment performed at the completion of the third week revealed a volume of 7344 ml for the left lower extremity and a volume of 7214 ml for the right lower extremity. This represented a percent volume loss in the legs of 14.5 and 15%, respectively (Figure 3).
The fourth week of treatment consisted of MLD and HIVAMAT for the right upper extremity. The fifth and sixth week of treatment resumed MLD and HIVAMAT, and compression bandaging of the right lower extremity, with the patient continuing use of the compression garment on the left lower extremity during waking hours.
At the conclusion of the six weeks of treatment, the patient was instructed in a home maintenance program of self-MLD, skin care, compression garments for bilateral lower extremities worn during waking hours and continued exercise. The patient continued her selenium. The patient followed up for reassessment one month later. During the one month reassessment with the physical therapist the upper extremities were not measured. The lower extremity volume on the left decreased to 7333 ml, and the right to 7278 ml, maintaining a 14% reduction in volume as compared to the initial evaluation (Figure 3).
During the study period, the patient's weight was measured and showed a steady decline over the course of treatment (Figure 3). The correlation between weight vs. average leg volumes over time was significant at r=0.96 (P<0.0001), but was not significant for average arm volume over time at r=0.61 (p=0.052).
On the follow-up appointment with the physician one month after initiation of physical therapy, the patient was visually confirmed to have lost fluid in each leg by physical exam and the fluid pockets in the skin appeared diminished. She denied that her buttocks or abdomen were getting bigger with compression of the lower legs only. The patient continued weight training. The patient was encouraged to continue selenium and to start taking Butcher's broom, which she began at that time (Figure 3) and completed for 93 days prior to the end of study (day 293). Butcher's Broom (Ruscus aculeatus L.) is a natural herbal supplement widely available at organic food stores and is one of very few drugs and supplements to have been shown to improve lymph flow [29,30].
As prescribed by the physician, the patient decreased the use of pioglitazone due to hemoglobin A1C improvement into the normal range, and because of the risk of fluid retention and adipose tissue growth induced by this drug, finally stopping pioglitazone completely 172 days prior to the end of the study period (Figure 3).
Five months post physical therapy the patient injured her foot requiring placement of a boot to the knee; she did not exercise for the following 8 weeks. She subsequently had cataract surgery and was similarly immobilized for another 6 weeks (total of 46 days prior to end of study; Figure 3). The patient returned for perometry of her limbs for a six-month reassessment, and the results were striking. While on Bucher's broom and selenium, without physical therapy, the patient continued to lose volume in her limbs. During the time period between the three-month reassessment and the six-month reassessment, in the absence of physical therapy, the patient had a 445 ml reduction in left upper extremity volume, and a 191 ml reduction in right upper extremity volume. The patient also had a 261 ml reduction in left lower extremity volume, and a 72 ml reduction in right lower extremity volume (Figure 3).
The total volume lost over the entire case study period (during which selenium was taken) for the left upper, left lower, right upper and right lower extremities, respectively, was 525 ml, 1769 ml, 225 ml, and 1614 ml. The percent volume reduction during the time period when physical therapy was performed for the left and right lower extremities was 71.3% and 75.1% of the total volume, respectively. The percent volume reduction in the lower extremities after stopping pioglitazone was 14.7% left and 4.4% right. The percent volume reduction after initiating Butcher's broom was 29.4% and 21%, respectively.
This retrospective case report describes how selenium, in combination with Butcher's broom, helped maintain limb volume reduction after CDT in a patient with stage II lipedema and lipolymphedema. The patient lost on average a total of 1262 ml of fluid per leg after the last treatment session. Selenium, which was taken throughout the treatment period, has been shown to reduce lymphedema [27,28] while the oral supplement, Butcher's broom extract, started 93 days prior to her last session of physical therapy contains ruscogenins which are known to promote lymphatic flow [29,30]. For the last 46 days that we followed the patient by perometry, in the absence of physical therapy or exercise due to a foot injury, the patient surprisingly did not gain limb volume and in fact lost an additional 166 ml of volume on average in her legs. The leg volume reduction over the entire study period may have been a synergistic combination between physical therapy, selenium, Butcher's broom, and exercise. Surprisingly, Butcher's broom and selenium were able to maintain limb volume reduction in the absence of MLD and exercise. Thigh-high compression garments were worn on the legs on almost a daily basis, which may have helped to maintain the volume reduction in the legs; however, this had not changed over the course of the study.
The thiazolidinedione, pioglitazone, was stopped 172 days prior to the end of the study period. This is notable as this drug is known to cause fluid retention and decrease visceral adipose tissue while increasing peripheral (including subcutaneous) adipose tissue. It also decreases inflammation as measured by the lowering of C-reactive protein (CRP) [25,26,31]. An expectation was that there would be a steep volume loss over the next few months after stopping pioglitazone, but interestingly, the leg volume decreased <15% of the total volume reduction. The patient's arms actually increased in volume after stopping pioglitazone, which argues against discontinuation of this drug leading to global fluid loss. In fact, the arms decreased an average of only 37 ml after discontinuation of pioglitazone as measured at the end of our case study. One caveat is that there were only two perometry measurements after discontinuation of pioglitazone, one that showed an increase of volume in the arms and one that showed a mild decrease. An example of the amount of body weight increase after initiation of pioglitazone was demonstrated in patients with fatty liver, where body weight increased approximately 3 kg. In these same patients, whole body fat measured by dual X-ray absorptiometry scan also increased about 3 kg. Interestingly, total body water was not altered significantly after pioglitazone and muscle hydration and extracellular water were unchanged [32]. This case study demonstrated a total decrease of 3.6 kg in weight over the entire study period and 0.45 kg after stopping pioglitazone, but also soon after initiating Butcher's broom. Additional measures by perometry during this time would have been helpful to better assess the effect on volume of initiation of Butcher's broom and discontinuation of pioglitazone.
The patient in this case study did not tolerate compression bandaging of her arms secondary to pain, therefore limiting treatment of MLD with HIVAMAT for the duration of one week per arm. However, over a period of 50 days following treatment, she progressively decreased in arm tissue volume while taking selenium and exercising. In addition to the synergistic effect of Butcher's broom, selenium and discontinuation of pioglitazone as explanations for promoting tissue volume loss in the arms after physical therapy was completed, it may be that loss of fluid volume from the legs and may have promoted overall body loss of fluid, which was reflected in the volume loss in the arms.
Interestingly, the left arm of our patient had greater volume than the right and the left cubital area was enlarged compared to the right (physical exam; Figure 3); we note an enlargement in the left cubital area compared to the right in many of our patients (about 1 cm difference). The cubital area contains lymph nodes and is one site on the body we assess for lipedema fat. All lymph fluid from the body drains into the left thoracic duct except for the right side of the head, neck, and thorax, and right upper extremity, the right lung, right side of the heart, and the convex surface of the liver which drains into the right thoracic duct; both ducts open into the angle of union of the internal jugular and subclavian veins on left and right sides, respectively [33]. While volumes of one arm versus another can vary by a few 100 ml, if we agree with Levick and Michel that the majority of interstitial fluid is returned to the blood vasculature through the lymphatic system (and not reabsorbed downstream in micro-vessels) [34], then it would not be unexpected to see a greater backup of fluid on the left side of the body in lipedema, which can be clinically assessed by a larger left cubital area.
The mechanisms underlying the improvement in lipedema in this patient by selenium may be due to its anti-inflammatory properties [35]. Selenium is known to inhibit the matrix remodeling enzyme, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2, and also decreases the MMP inhibitor of MMPs (TIMP)-1 [36]. Selenium decreased edema in two placebo controlled trials for post-mastectomy, as well as head and neck radiation-induced lymphedema [37,38]. Selenium has been shown to increase the efficacy of physical therapy for lymphedema while reducing the incidence of erysipelas infections in patients with chronic lymphedema [37]. It also lowers oxygen radical production in part by increasing glutathione peroxidase and thioredoxin reductase [39]. Immune cells are directly impacted by selenium use as it decreases glycoprotein adhesion molecules (e.g., P-selectin, intercellular adhesion molecule-1, vascular cell adhesion molecule-1, endothelial leukocyte adhesion molecule-1) in a dose-dependent manner [40] that may decongest lymphatic capillaries. It is also important to note that it significantly enhanced cellular immunologic reactions improving efficacy of cytotoxic T-lymphocytes and stimulating macrophages degradation of excess tissue proteins [41]. The US National Research Council has defined the individual maximum safe dietary intake for selenium as 600 mcg daily and the no adverse effect level as 800 mcg daily [42].
The mechanism whereby Butcher's broom may decrease lymphedema is through direct improvement of lymphatic flow [30,31]. Marcelon et al. have shown that the Butcher's Broom affects lymphatic smooth muscle inducement of lymphatic flow through binding to alpha receptors, similar to alpha agonists [43]. The ruscogenins from Ruscus aculeatus L. also exhibit remarkable anti-e1astase activity by competitive inhibition. The inhibitory effects of this plant's constituents on the activity of elastase, an enzyme system involved in the turnover of the main components of the perivascular amorphous substance, allows it to prevent hydrolysis of both the components of the extracellular matrix (elastin, collagen, proteoglycans) and the endothelial cell membrane adherence proteins [44], therefore ruscogenins are claimed to be effective for the treatment and/or prevention of venous insufficiency.
CDT only treats the edema or fluid component of lipedema and not the excess lipedema tissue. Methods to reduce lipedema adipose tissue include local tumescent liposuction techniques, which have been shown to be effective [45-47]. Longer term studies would be needed to determine if selenium or Butcher's broom had any effect on the adipose tissue component of lipedema.
While this retrospective case report outlines treatment modalities for a single patient with lipedema, it has been estimated that 11-39% of the female population is affected with lipedema [9,10]. If these data are valid, using a prevalence of 11%, and estimating the population in the United States to be 313,914,040, 50.8% of which are women (159,468,332), and if children under the age of five (6.5%) are excluded, then 16,401,318 women in the US may have lipedema. Termed lipoedema ("fluid in the fat") in the United Kingdom (UK), similar estimates can be made where 15,957,700 women in the UK could also be affected by lipedema. These numbers are staggering and may be higher, suggesting that lipedema is a common disorder. The authors have observed many women with lipedema in the clinic we support continued research into this under recognized disorder [48].
In summary, the ability of Butcher's broom to improve lymphatic flow and selenium's anti-inflammatory properties may be useful in the treatment of lipedema and lipo-lymphedema when combined with standard of care physical therapy which includes MLD with a consideration of HIVAMAT, compression bandaging, compression garments, and exercise. Randomized controlled trials of Butcher's broom and selenium may provide information on their ability to improve lipedema independent of one another. Caution should be used when thiazolidinediones are used for the treatment of metabolic syndrome or diabetes in people with lipedema as they induce fluid retention and subcutaneous adipose tissue accumulation.

Are you still driving the same truck you had in high school or college? Are you hoping to squeeze just a few more miles out of it before it refuses to start? Do you have a convertible with a baby on the way? Let's face it; it's probably time that you need to buy a new car. Here are some signs that can indicate it's time to start looking for a new set of wheels.
1. Breakdowns and repairs are costly and frequent.
It's not uncommon for an occasional breakdown or repair on your vehicle. In general, most car owners can experience two breakdowns a year from a dead battery to a broken hose or flat tire. When you get to a point where the repairs are costly and breakdowns occur frequently, then it's time to start thinking about purchasing a new vehicle.
2. Your car will no longer pass its emissions test and safety inspections.
Emission tests are required when drivers renew their license plates. Texas requires all gas-powered vehicles to undergo annual emissions testing. Your vehicle has to pass the tests and if they fail you are required to repair and retest until it passes. If your vehicle is no longer safe on the road, it's time to buy a new car.
3. Your safety is in question.
Driving an unsafe vehicle can lead to car accidents and you never want your safety in question while driving. Driving an unsafe car can be a fatal mistake. Newer model cars have advanced safety features that can help prevent accidents. Side airbags, blind spot monitoring, Teen Driver software, and rear view cameras are some of the latest safety features that are included in new models.
4. Your car doesn't fit your lifestyle anymore.
Did you buy a 2-seater convertible or sports car when you were younger or before you wanted to start a family? If you are planning on an addition to your family, it's time to buy a new car. You may want to upgrade to a larger 4-door sedan, an SUV with extra legroom, or a truck. It's never a good idea to make your vehicle fit your lifestyle. Purchase a vehicle that will work for you and your needs. There are many lifestyle changes that can prompt the need to purchase a new vehicle. You may need a larger vehicle, one with better gas mileage for longer commutes, or maybe you have the need for something smaller.
We gladly welcome the opportunity to help you buy a new car when the time arrives. We have the largest selection of Chevrolet cars, trucks and SUVS. Please visit our Chevrolet dealership conveniently located in Austin, TX off of IH-35.

Heel spurs are calcium deposits along the underside of the heel bone. Diagnosed via x-ray, these painful conditions can be treated at Tower Podiatry in New York, NY by Dr. Jonathan Thurm using noninvasive and minimally invasive techniques.
Heel spurs are bone-like calcium deposits on the underside of the heel bone. Many heel spurs do not cause pain. However, recurrent inflammation of the plantar fascia often causes microscopic tears in the ligaments resulting in calcium deposits along the heel. These calcium deposits can be seen on an x-ray and often result in pain during walking, running, jumping, or even standing.
As is the case in many foot problems, noninvasive treatments are used before resorting to any surgical options. Resting until the pain subsides, stretching, and wearing custom fit orthotics can mitigate much of the pain associated with heel spurs. Eventually, the body reabsorbs the calcium deposit in the heel and any associated pain goes away. However, if pain persists, the bony deposit does not go away, or if other noninvasive techniques do not resolve heel spur pain, surgery may be required to remove the bony deposit. This surgery is performed on an outpatient basis using cutting edge minimally invasive surgical techniques that limit the amount of downtime and recovery. With smaller incisions and faster healing times, Dr. Jonathan Thurm offers his patients a life free from heel spur pain with a lower risk of infection.
Since heel spurs are caused by the strains placed on the muscles and ligaments of the foot as well as inflammation of the plantar fascia, protecting the foot's structure is the best way to prevent heel spurs. Most common in athletes who run and jump a lot, wearing shoes that best meet the person's gait and muscular needs can help prevent heel spurs from coming back. Custom fit orthotics, like those made by Dr. Thurm at Tower Podiatry, properly position and support the foot during athletic activities.

The Bell's crew brought their unique "Jazz" series of Bière de Garde brews to Night Town in Cleveland Heights for one night only. While the match made sense in (musical) theory, a crowded bar with a busy night lead to a bit of a messy event. Those imperfections cast aside, it was a great opportunity to enjoy something rarely seen outside the brewery and I'm thankful Bell's decided to bring something special to Cleveland Beer Week.
The Lakewood Winking Lizard was scheduled to be the only place in the entire world where one could order a Tröegs Splinter beer by the glass instead of traveling to Harrison, PA and waiting in line for hours. With owner Chris Trogner scheduled to be on hand again to explain the evolution of the critically acclaimed series, I knew some surprises were in store. Tröegs delivered, with cases of bottles of Splinter Blue, Black and a special surprise – the most rare beer in the bunch, Splinter Gold.
On October 18th, 2010, the beautiful and swanky Market in Rocky River served as ground zero for the biggest collection of Goose taps in one place ever in Ohio. It included several standards, a few limited drafts that have appeared in town throughout this year, and offerings never before and never again seen in Ohio. In total, 9 of the 19 taps were draft-only specialties. Here's how the brews stacked up!
What happens when you take four courses of amazing food by none other than hometown hero Michael Symon and team them up with four beers hand-picked by Sam Calagione, founder of Dogfish Head Brewing, and four wines selected by Marianne Frantz, president of the American Wine School? You get an amazing evening that served as a perfect kick-off event for the 2010 Cleveland Beer Week.
How does four plus five plus seven equal win? When it's a *four* course authentic English meal with *five* beers enjoyed with the *seventh* generation Samuel Smith himself! The Winking Lizard was packed for this once-in-a-lifetime tasting of world-class beers from a brewer with a 200 year tradition.

Neighborhood "Walkability" Confers Health Benefits
If you're moving anytime soon, take a close look at whether your new neighborhood is pedestrian-friendly. It could affect your health in important ways, according to new findings.
Researchers evaluated walkability based on four factors: population density, number of walkable destinations (stores, services, parks), residential building density, and street connectivity. Researchers studied trends in a variety of neighborhoods and found that in the least walkable areas, rates of obesity and diabetes rose. But in the most walkable neighborhoods, diabetes rates fell over time.
The researchers acknowledged that they didn't look at factors such as fruit and vegetable consumption among the more than 32,000 people involved with the study, nor were other factors accounted for, such as crime, that might reduce pedestrian activity. But the study echoed previous research that suggests the more pedestrian-friendly environment a person lives and works in, the greater the chances she will walk more and make other healthy lifestyle choices. The study also reaffirms the connection between regular exercise, such as walking, and lower rates of obesity and diabetes.

Beema Baby offers premium natural and organic baby care and nursery essentials. We believe well made, all natural products with minimal processing are the very best for your little ones.
The Founder's Story
For years we dreamed of starting a business that would allow us to serve others, meet specific needs in our community and give us the opportunity to extend generosity to families and organizations in need. After the birth of our first son, we began to see the value in baby products that were manufactured with superior quality and attention to small details. As parents of 3 boys, each with uniquely sensitive skin, we've dealt with a fair amount of skin sensitivity issues, rashes and eczema. We realized the cheap and chemical laden products we had been using weren't helping and were actually contributing to the problem. After much research, advise from our boy's pediatrician and friends and family, we concluded that the answer in our case wasn't to treat the symptoms with medication but to treat the source of the problem by adapting to a more natural lifestyle, thus reducing our babies exposure to unnatural chemicals and compounds. These experiences coupled with the desire to start a meaningful business is what inspired us to create Beema Baby. Our desire is to serve and help you on your parenting journey by equipping you with well made and safe baby care items with the hope that the day to day baby care will be made a little easier so you can soak up the short, sweet time you have with your little ones. Most importantly, we strive to do everything with excellence and care so that we might glorify God in our work.
We Value...
Softness AND Durability
When our first son was born back in 2013 we bought cheap baby products because like most parents, we were on a tight budget. That proved to be an unwise decision over time because those items wore out quickly and we ended up spending more money to replace them. Later on, a friend gave our son some organic cotton pajamas. We were amazed at the durability and softness of the fabric! We used those pajamas for all 3 of our boys! They are what inspired the quality, softness, and durability of our own organic baby products. We dreamed about how wonderful it would be if all our fabric baby essentials were equally as soft, durable and healthy for our babies sensitive skin. And we were drawn to the idea that we could own less stuff of greater quality because it would last longer. We were thrilled when after months of searching we found a manufacturer who could produce the products we designed, to the durability and quality standards we were looking for.
Excellence in Design and Craftsmanship
Organic Materials and Processes (GOTS Certified Organic Cotton)
We only use organic cotton that meets the certification requirements of GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard). This is important to us because GOTS holds the highest standards in the organic cotton industry, setting strict guidelines for how the cotton must be grown, harvested and processed. This is good for everyone, the environment, farmers, workers in the textile industry and the customers who purchase the final product. Conventionally grown cotton uses more insecticides than any other crop in the world. We are proud to offer premium quality products that are also healthy and safe for the world and your family.
Giving to others, especially those in need is very important to us. We are in the process of partnering with several non-profit organizations that provide financial and practical assistance to single parents and children in foster care. A portion of every sale goes help a family or child in need.

As some point, even a bacon fanatic runs out of inspiration. We've had bacon every way you can think of – bacon sandwiches, bacon pancakes, bacon muffins, bacon quiches and, as Betsy likes to say, Bacon Classic (just bacon).
So when inspiration fails, we turn to Sonic. The bacon cheeseburger, please. Sonic always has crisp bacon. And the nice man who lives in the drive-in speaker never judges when we ask for double bacon. Sonic also has a delicious BLT, but Betsy never orders that because lettuce is not on Betsy's Picky Eater Approved List.
It's Betsy's birthday tomorrow and so after inspecting her bacon cheeseburger to make sure there was nothing green inside the bun, she decided to decorate her sandwich with Cheeto candles. Cheeto's are on the approved list.
That's right. Betsy is turning 2 tomorrow. So let's all wish her a happy birthday. I was thinking about getting her an Easy Bake Oven, but baking is not on the approved list either.

The partnership between Australia and Cambodia on immigration issues was strengthened yesterday following a series of high-level meetings.
The Minister for Immigration and Border Protection Peter Dutton met with the
Director General of the General Department of Immigration H.E. General Sok Phal and other Cambodian officials in Canberra.
Mr Dutton said the meeting reaffirmed the close working relationship between Australia and Cambodia on a variety of immigration issues.
"Since the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding last year our two nations have been working very closely together," Mr Dutton said.
"Our meetings yesterday have reinforced our nations' commitment to successfully resettle refugees from Nauru and tackle people smuggling and other global immigration matters."
During the meeting Mr Dutton acknowledged the methodical approach that the Government of Cambodia had applied to integrate the first group of refugees into the community.
This was highlighted by the recent movement of the refugees from the initial transit accommodation to their own accommodation in Cambodia.
Director General Sok Phal is visiting Australia to co-host the fifth Australia-Cambodia Immigration Forum alongside officials from the Department of Immigration and Border Protection.
The forum provides senior officials from both countries an opportunity to discuss cooperation on vital immigration issues such as people smuggling and human trafficking.

Desktop-as-a-Service Designed for Any Cloud ? Nutanix Frame
"Can a proprietary printer driver outperform the Gimp-Print
project and the Common Unix Printing System (CUPS)? I recently
raved about an Epson Color Stylus 880 and its free software
offerings. This week, I will review the Lexmark Z52 Color
Jetprinter and the proprietary Linux software Lexmark has created
for it."
"Lexmark sent me a brand-new Z52; it is a fine printer for
desktop use. It can reach an amazing resolution of 2400 dpi, in
both black and color. At the default setting of 600 dpi, it spits
out up to 15 pages per minute. Just a couple of years ago,
Lexmark's top-of-the-line printers offered only 1200 dpi. Online
prices for the Z52 range from $141 to the suggested retail,
"The Linux install differs from the Windows and Mac OS installs
in that the software for those platforms comes on a CD, while the
Linux driver and related software lives on Lexmark's Website.
Please note that the Lexmark driver comes as an RPM file and
requires Ghostscript (6.01 recommended)."
