After Atlanta had been taken, General John Bell Hood commanded his Army of Tennessee to attempt to cut off William Tecumseh Sherman's railroad supply lines to Atlanta. This resulted in Hood launching several attacks in Tennessee and destruction of the railroad which weakened his army greatly. Hood had hoped that this would lure Sherman and his troops to pursue them towards Tennessee, but Sherman recognized the plan and moved toward Savannah, Georgia in his famous march to the sea. While Union soldiers caused destruction in Georgia, stragglers from the Confederate troops, mostly of Wheeler's cavalry, caused just as much destruction as the Union troops. The result was Hood's Field Order 14.
In Hood's Field Order 14 he made it unlawful for Confederate soldiers to destroy private property. He even went as far as to say anyone causing the destruction would be subject to arrest and even execution. He also ordered officers to take charge of the enforcement of this order, by saying "In any cases where it is shown that an officer, high or low, has permitted or failed to take proper steps to prevent such depredations as those complained of herein, he shall be deprived of his commission." The major problem was in the Confederate cavalry members, therefore Hood went further to enforce that all horses must be branded and the sale and buying of horses by Confederate soldiers was only to be done in necessity by commanding officers or risk arrest. He warned citizens that they could not exchange horses with soldiers unless from the authority of officers. If citizens did not obey this order, their property could be seized and they would not have military support.
General Hood was appointed commander of the Army of Tennessee in July of 1864, during the siege of Atlanta by the Union army and General Sherman. As documented by Richard McMurry, Lee thought of Hood as "a bold fighter and very industrious on the battle field." Lee also was quoted in a letter saying "I have a high opinion of his gallantry, earnestness, and zeal." Hood enjoyed the respect of his fellow Confederate Generals. Hood attempted to implement some very aggressive tactics after the Union army had taken Atlanta, and they soon spun out of control.
The desperation of Hood's offensive attacks in Tennessee and the desperation of the Confederate soldiers to destruct their own comrades' property showed that the war had significantly turned in the Union's favor. Sherman had control of Georgia and would soon turn his forces to the North to aid in the attacks on General Lee. General Hood was brilliant in his tactics, but he failed in his armies' execution which resulted in the decimation of his army and the turning of his army to desperation in destructing their fellow neighbors' property.

Hillary Clinton likes to pretend that she doesn't shift positions with the prevailing winds of opinion, but it's just not true. On almost every important political or cultural issue of the last 30 years, Hillary Clinton has shifted, bent, contorted and completely reversed her own previous opinions. While we should not be surprised when someone changes a few of their opinions over the years, you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone in America who has changed their minds as often as Clinton (Charlie Crist comes to mind… but that's about it).
Hillary Clinton's most egregious course correction also happens to be her most "bizarre" attempt at rewriting history. The position of Clinton and other Democrat leaders on the issues involving homosexuals (particularly "gay marriage") has changed dramatically over the last two decades. Now the Democrat Party is doing its best to pretend that they've always tried to protect gay marriage against the conservatives. Fortunately, there are those who remember what was actually happening and they are speaking up and calling Hillary out for her lies.
Clinton's insistence that she is not a politician who holds positions that are shrewdly calculated on political expedience rather than ideology or philosophy has put her in a place where she has to justify the passage and her previous support for DOMA. And, of course, Clinton has done so in a way that is shrewdly calculated, but is also remarkably obvious to people who remember the 1990s. She is insisting, in defiance of all evidence, that the passage of DOMA was to protect gay people from something even worse. In a recent interview with Rachel Maddow on MSNBC, Clinton insisted that DOMA was an effort to protect gay people from a possible federal constitutional amendment that would have banned recognition of same-sex marriage permanently and would have been immune to Supreme Court intervention. She tells Maddow:
"On Defense of Marriage, I think what my husband believed – and there was certainly evidence to support it – is that there was enough political momentum to amend the Constitution of the United States of America, and that there had to be some way to stop that. And there wasn't any rational argument – because I was in on some of those discussions, on both 'don't ask, don't tell' and on DOMA, where both the president, his advisers and occasionally I would – you know, chime in and talk about, 'you can't be serious. You can't be serious.' But they were. And so, in a lot of ways, DOMA was a line that was drawn that was to prevent going further."
But it's just not true, and over the weekend, several prominent gay activists who were around at the time have been tweeting about what nonsense this attempt to revise history is. To show how cynical this effort is, this position by the Clintons that DOMA was about protecting gay people from something even worse goes all the way back to 2013, all of two years ago, which was the same year that the Supreme Court struck down the part of DOMA that prohibited the federal government from recognizing state-approved same-sex marriages. Looks like the Clintons jumped on the last train to be on the "right side of history."

Things to Consider When Facing Divorce
Property division in divorce can become highly complex when business division is necessary. Our firm works to understand your business — how it operates, your assets and liabilities, and your business goals.
If you have a prenuptial agreement, it should state whether the business is owned individually or jointly. There may be options available to designate business division if you have not drafted a prenuptial agreement. Talk to a lawyer to find out more.
We are mindful of the tax implications of divorce when one spouse owns a business, or a business is owned jointly. If keeping your business in your family is your goal, we can explain your legal options. The key, when you own a business and are facing divorce, is to look beyond the legal proceedings at hand and focus on the end result you want to achieve. Our law firm can provide the legal advocacy and skill needed to help you work toward those goals.

The Mastership
The Thurlow Hunt is overseen and managed by four Joint Masters.
Robin Vestey MFH, Joint Master
Robin Vestey joined the Mastership in 2000. He is the youngest son of the late Mr & Mrs Edmund Vestey, both formerly Masters of Foxhounds, so it's in the genes! As a keen hound man and hound show judge, Robin is closely involved in the Thurlow hound breeding programme along with his wife and co-Master Victoria Vestey. Formerly a Field Master, Robin now concentrates on trail laying and assisting with hounds. He is also East Anglia's representative on the MFHA Committee.
Victoria Vestey MFH, Joint Master
Vick Vestey joined the Mastership in 2008. A daunting task when considering her riding career only commenced ten years earlier. Vick Field Masters with great authority and confidence although she can be heard occasionally saying her prayers over some of the bigger hedges! Vick represented the Thurlow Hunt in the Countryside Alliance's Race for Repeal at Newmarket's July Course. Vick was overwhelmed by the support she received both on the day and in donations. Her participation raised a phenomenal amount of money and she was very touched by everyone's generosity.
Rowley Fenwick MFH, Joint Master
Rowley Fenwick joined the Mastership in 1997. Born and bred in Thurlow Country and from a keen hunting family, he farms areas of the land we hunt over. Rowley shares Field Mastering duties with Victoria Vestey and enjoys his jumping. He didn't represent the Pony Club at Show Jumping in South Africa for nothing! Rowley is also Chairman of the Point to Point Committee.
Melanie Brooks MFH, Joint Master
Melanie Brooks joined the Mastership in 2018. Mel's first recollection of hunting is waiting at the front gate on Silver her pony and joining in with the Suffolk foxhounds as they passed, aged 11, she would often by found right up at the front or sometimes lucky enough to be taken on point with David Claydon. Before starting her own livery yard with hunters and pointers, Mel's early career saw her working for David Claydon and Gordon King, where she was qualifying pointers out with both the Suffolk Hunt and The Thurlow Hunt and regularly placed point to pointing.
Mr and Mrs Nigel Peel, MFH, Joint Masters
Nigel and Sophia joined the Mastership in 2018 having been joint Masters of the North Cotswold
for 30 seasons. Their lives and careers have been dedicated to hunting and they bring with them a wealth
of hunting experience and knowledge. They have a small farm in the Cotswold hills where they have
horses and a flock of pedigree Jacob sheep. They both much look forward to joining the
Thurlow Mastership and hope to do all they can to further the progress and good name of the hounds.

The Trump Administration is quietly limiting access to public information, especially as it relates to ethics and enforcement. We can no longer view disclosures about workplace violations, energy efficiency, or animal welfare abuses.
Going further, Trump officials have removed entire websites run by the EPA and Interior Departments about climate change. Going further still, EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt on Friday failed to renew the second terms of several scientists on the EPA's Board of Scientific Counselors.
If all this makes you want to scream and swear, you're not alone. The good news is swearing can be a form of pain management, maybe even empowerment.
Lastly, president Trump is expected to nominate Callista Gingrich to be ambassador to the Vatican.

Vegetables are edible part of plants. A total of twenty five raw salad vegetables were collected and the microbiological assessment was made using pour plate method. The analysis was carried out on carrots, cucumber, cabbage, lettuce and tomatoes. The results obtained from this study revealed that the total heterotrophic viable bacterial counts, coliform counts and fungal counts for all the salad vegetables ranged from 1.4 × 106 - 6.2 × 106 cfu/g, 1.1 × 106 - 3.3 × 106 cfu/g and 2.1 × 103 - 4.5 × 105 cfu/g respectively. The data were subjected to One Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) test which showed that there was significant difference (p <0.05) in the microbial load of each of the raw salad vegetables samples. The microbial isolates identified were E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Klebsiella sp., Pseudomonas sp., Aspergillus niger, Mucor sp., Penicillium sp., Aspergillus flavus and Fusarium sp. Staphylococcus aureus and Aspergillus niger were predominant. This suggests that salad vegetables used in this study are of public health concern because, they harbours microorganisms that could be hazardous to human health. Hence consumers should practice appropriate hygiene during the preparation of salad for consumption.

The main purpose of gene expression data analysis is to identify the biomarker genes by comparing the gene expression levels between two different groups or conditions. There are several methods to select biomarker genes and many comparative studies have been performed to select the appropriate method. However, they did not consider the problems of outliers in their data sets though it is very essential to select the method from robustness point of view due to outliers may occur in the different steps of the gene expression data generating process. In this paper, it is evaluated the performance among five popular statistical biomarker gene selection methods viz. T-test, SAM, LIMMA, KW and FCROS using both simulated and real gene expression data sets in absence and presence of outliers. In the simulated data analysis, it was demonstrated the performance of these methods in terms of different performance measures such as TPR, TNR, FPR, FNR and AUC and based on these measures, it was found that in absence of outliers, for both small-and-large sample cases all the methods perform almost similar. Whereas, in presence of outliers, for small-sample case only the FCROS method perform well than other methods. From a real colon cancer data analysis, it was elucidated that FCROS method identified additional 59 genes that were not detected by the other methods and most of them belongs to the different cancer related pathways.

Histology of leaf blade and sheath of cogon grass (Imperata cylindrica L.) Beauv., indicated typical C4 Kranz anatomy. Cells of adaxial epidermis were smaller and bulliform cells were present on the adaxial epidermis. The shape of bulliform cells was bulbous; 3-7 cells were present in a group and 3-5 folds larger than epidermal cells. Three types of vascular bundles in respect of size and structure were extra large, large and small and they were part of leaf blade histology. These three sizes of vascular bundles were arranged in successive manner from midrib to leaf margin. Leaf sheath bundles were of two types: large and small. Extra large bundles were flanked by five small and four large bundles but small bundles were alternate found to be with large typed bundles. Extra large bundles were of typical monocotyledonous type but the large type had reduced xylem elements and the small typed was found to be transformed into treachery elements. Small be bundles occupied half the thickness of the flat portion of leaf blade topped by large bulliform cells of the adaxial epidermis. Extra large and large bundle had been extended to upper and lower epidermis. Kranz mesophyll completely encircled the bundle sheath and radiated out into ground tissue. Midrib was projected in abaxial direction and had a central vascular bundle with large and small bundles on either side of it along the abaxial regions. The midrib vascular bundle was devoid of chlorenchymatous bundle sheath and was of non-Kranz type. Continuous sub-epidermal sclerenchyma girders were noted as adaxial hypodermis. Anatomical traits exhibited an important adaptive defense against draught and saline stress of the plant. Quantitative measurement of various anatomical traits indicated strong variations among them.

Medicinal plant extract has long been used successfully in 'unani' or 'ayurvedic' medicine. Medicinal plant extract contains bioactive molecules and activity of these molecules may help to mitigate, eradicate or cure diseases. In the advent for the search for new medicinally important bioactive molecule, the current paper deals with the anti-oxidative, cytotoxic and phytochemical analysis of Scoparia dulcis leaf and root, Curculigo orchioides root, Pandanus fascicularis root and Baccaurea sapida leaf extract. Aqueous and methanolic extracts were made for each of the extracts where they posses significant antioxidative properties. High activities were seen in P. fascicularis and S. dulcis plant extract where IC50 values were 21.87 μg/ml and 173.36 μg/ml respectively. In toxicity test, only P. fascicularis extracts showed lethality in a dose-dependent manner where the LD50 value was 25.64 μg/ml. By the phytochemical analysis, it was found that each of these plant species possesses glycosides, protein, carbohydrates, alkaloid, flavonoid etc. which are pharmacologically active biomolecules. These important properties of those plants showed an indication that these plants can further be tested for the utilization in therapeutic purpose or in cosmetic industry.

This study was conducted in Ruhul Beel, Pabna, northern area of Bangladesh to know the availability of different fish species. Samples were collected fortnightly from the fishermen catch captured in different points of the Beel during January to December, 2013. During this study a total of 37 fish species under 9 orders and 19 families were recorded from the study area. Cypriniformes was the most dominant order constituting 32.43% of the total fish populations followed by the Siluriformes (27.02%), Perciformes (21.62%), Channiformes (5.4%) and Clupeiformes (2.7%). On the contrary, Beloniformes, Cyprinodontiformes, Osteoglossiformes and Tetraodontiformes were the least numerous orders constituting only 2.71% each of the total fish populations. Among the available fish species, 37.84% were very rare, 35.14% were rare, and 21.61% were found throughout the year in a small amount while only 5.41% were available throughout the year in a large amount. About half of the fish species available in the Ruhul Beel is threatened to extinct according to IUCN Bangladesh. The results of this study will provide important baseline data on availability of fish species, which will be helpful for the sustainable management and conservation of fisheries diversity in the Ruhul Beel as well as in the open water- bodies of Bangladesh.

The demand of environmentally friendly packaging materials to overcome the high use of plastic led to increase of research effort on the development of biodegradable plastic from sustainable packaging. In this research, carrageenan films containing of arrowroot starch in the polymer blend were obtained using polyethylene glycol as plasticizer. The objective is to study the effect of different concentrations of arrowroot starch (20%, 40%, 60%, 80% of carrageenan based) on barrier property (water vapor transmission rate), mechanical properties (thickness, tensile strength and elongation at break), solubility in water and whiteness index of the obtained biofilm samples. The result shows that all of them have good transparency, with 60% of concentration gives the highest Whiteness Index. The concentration of arrowroot starch that shows the best resistance to tensile strength is 40%, as well as in thickness values. Concentration of 80% shows the lowest water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) permeability with 85.12 g/m2.24h, while the lowest water solubility is obtained from 60% concentration with 60.49% solubility. The recommended level of arrowroot starch to be incorporated in the process of arrowroot starch-carrageenan-based film is 60% of carrageenan.

In the early stage of drug development process, it is urgent to judge the toxicity effect of some common chemical compounds (CCs) that is not yet well investigated. Biomarker genes (BGs) and dose of CCs can help to draw a deduction about a drug for safety assessment. Classical toxicology method uses large number of samples to extract clinical results which is both time consuming and costly. However, conventional molecular methods can perform to identify only BGs and fail to detect source factor influencing these BGs. The aim of this study is to propose a suitable algorithm that can identify more promising and essential toxicity biomarkers related to some common CCs for safety assessment of new drugs. The glutathione is an effective metabolite of detoxification process in liver. Glutathione depletion analysis is one of the major key research areas in drug development pipeline. In this paper, we studied glutathione depletion analysis of some reported CCs (acetaminophen, methapyrilene and nitrofurazone). We develop an algorithm combining ANOVA and principal component analysis (PCA) using visualization technique to find biomarker genes and associated glutathione depleting CCs and their corresponding doses. There are numerous numbers of genes in the glutathione metabolism pathway regulated as differentially expressed (DE) genes due to the toxic effect of these CCs and proposed algorithm identify only five genes (Mgst2, Gclc, G6pd, Gsr and Srm) that are also foremost genes in the glutathione metabolism pathway. Proposed algorithm states that high dose of all the CCs are responsible for glutathione depletion, nevertheless middle dose of acetaminophen and nitrofurazone also cause glutathione depletion. The proposed algorithm has an additional benefit over the conventional method to discover new chemical entities toxicity.

Morphological variation in eighteen lines of pointed gourd (Trichosanthes dioica Roxb.) was determined by Metroglyph method showing their genetic relationship. Assessment of variability of pointed gourd may help for successful utilization of its different attributes in developing suitable genotypes for yield and stability. A total of twelve quantitative characters were used for analyzing genetic variation. Arbitarily the clusters were found in the diagram but not in consolidated form. Cluster I was represented only by two lines. Almost similarly cluster II was found to be comprised of only three lines. On the contrary, cluster III contains thirteen lines of pointed gourd, although they were found to be located scattered showing their great morphological variations.

IOSafe Drives Burn, Drown, Survive
At $149 for 500 Gbytes of storage, the IOSafe Solo costs just a few dollars more than the average hard drive, yet it promises to protect your precious data. A terabyte version of the drive will ship later.
The average house fire lasts 20 minutes and burns at between 800 and 1,000 degrees. To guard against that, IOSafe made the Solo fireproof, at least up to 1,500 degrees for half an hour (though the company says it will probably last far longer than that) and waterproof at a depth of 10 feet for up to three daysnumbers designed to achieve ASTM E119 certification. Waterproofing is actually more essential than fireproofing, according to IOSafe: in a typical house fire, most damage is actually done by water piped in from fire hoses.
The Solo's unique powers lie in the patented insulation that surrounds an otherwise ordinary 3.5-inch hard drive (in the demonstration I saw, IOSafe used an off-the-shelf 500GB model from Seagate). The material, which resembles the Styrofoam packing used to ship appliances, consists mainly of a few cents worth of gypsumthe same substances used to make wallboard. Water crystals in the gypsum expand when heated, helping the insulation keep out the heat.
Why gypsum? "It's literally cheaper than dirt," notes John Wernke, vice president of marketing for the company. "You can get a ton of gypsum dumped in your front yard for less than a ton of topsoil." The challenge the company faced was in preventing the hard drive from overheating within the insulation. To prevent that, small channels (called FlowSafe vents) and fans route cool air to the drive through carefully designed plastic tubes; in a fire, the tubes melt and seal off, keeping the drive safe from harm.
Beyond that, a special waterproof bag encloses the drive, part of what the company calls HydroSafe technology. In a fire, the enclosure will be destroyed, but the drive will remain safe. To prove IOSafe's claims, Wernke and company chief executive Robb Moore rented a discreet house near the Strip in Las Vegas during CES. The duo tied a rope around the IOSafe Solo and threw it into an in-ground pool for 5 minutes. After pulling the drive out, they barbequed it in a specially designed chamber for 15 minutesusing a handheld gauge, we noted temperatures hovering around 1,000 degrees.
After removing the smoking hulk from the chamber, and cooling it with water from a garden hose, Moore plugged the perfectly preserved drive into a PC, noting how the photos we'd taken early in the day were all preserved. Is that type of security worth a few dollars more to you?

Cosmetics have existed since the dawn of time. Some of them, such as Cérat de Galien, date back to Antiquity and are still used today. Now cosmetics are subject to specific regulations: cosmetics include all substances and preparations destined to come into contact with various superficial areas of the human body, including skin and hair, in order to clean, perfume, change the aspect, correct the fragrence, protect and/or keep them in good condition. Cosmetics are therefore hygienic products and treatments with an esthetic purpose.
However they are presented, cosmetics generally have a similar structure composed of active ingredients, excipients for transporting said ingredients through the skin, and additives (preservatives) to ensure product stability over time. In the 20th century, many cosmetics were developed with complex formulas, frequently containing petroleum-by products.
An effective alternative nonetheless does exist, made by organically-certified laboratories like Alpaderm. These laboratories produce natural, hypoallergenic cosmetics without using artificial additives, and whose active plant ingredients come only from organic agriculture.

Glioblastoma multiforme is a high grade, or malignant glioma, a tumour of the glial (supportive) tissue of the brain. Glioblastoma multiforme and anaplastic astrocytoma, account for approximately 10 percent of paediatric central nervous system tumours.
These tumours arise primarily in the cerebral hemispheres (65 percent). Approximately 20 percent can occur in the area of the thalamus and hypothalamus or the diencephalon (responsible for identification of sensation, such as temperature, pain and touch, regulation of appetite/weight and body temperature, as well as connecting the brainstem to the cortex). Another 15 percent can occur in the region of the cerebellum and brain stem known as the posterior fossa. The median age at diagnosis is 9 to 10 years old, and these tumours occur with equal frequency in boys and girls.
As you read further below, you will find general information about glioblastoma multiforme.
What causes a glioblastoma multiforme?
Most high-grade gliomas occur sporadically or without identifiable cause. They do however, occur with increased frequency in families with Li-Fraumeni syndrome, hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer and tuberous sclerosis. They have also been associated with exposure to vinyl chloride and to high doses of radiation therapy to the brain.
What are the symptoms of a glioblastoma multiforme?
Glioblastoma multiforme of the cerebral hemispheres and the diencephalon, so called supratentorial glioblastoma multiforme, produce non-specific symptoms as a result of increased pressure within the head, as well as more localizing symptoms as a function of their specific location, rate of growth and associated inflammation.
The duration of symptoms is variable from a slow, insidious onset to more abrupt presentations. The following are the most common symptoms of glioblastoma multiforme, however each child may experience symptoms differently. Common symptoms may include:
- headache and lethargy
- symptoms of increased pressure within the brain. These symptoms include:
- headache (generally upon awakening in the morning)
- seizures – can occur with supratentorial high-grade gliomas but do so less commonly than do low-grade lesions
- compression of surrounding brain structures – depending on the location of the tumour, increased pressure can cause:
- weakness and other motor dysfunction
- neuroendocrine abnormalities
- changes in behaviour or thought processes
How are glioblastoma multiformes classified?
The symptoms of a brain tumour may resemble other conditions or medical problems. Always consult your child's physician for a diagnosis.
Gliomas are heterogeneous tumours that are classified according to their most aggressive appearing elements. The World Health Organization classification scheme includes 4 grades of glioma. Glioblastoma multiforme is a grade IV tumour. It is characterized as being of astrocytic origin but having increased numbers of cells (hypercellularity), abnormal cells and nuclei (cytologic and nuclear atypia), increased proliferation of cells (mitoses), increased cell death (necrosis) and increased growth of blood vessels (vascular endothelial proliferation). Glioblastoma multiformes are aggressive tumours that infiltrate adjacent normal brain tissue.
How is a glioblastoma multiforme diagnosed?
Diagnostic procedures for glioblastoma multiforme may include:
- physical examination.
- computerized tomography scan (also called a CT or CAT scan) – a diagnostic imaging procedure that uses a combination of x-rays and computer technology to produce cross-sectional images (often called slices), both horizontally and vertically, of the body. CT scans are more detailed than general x-rays.
- A CT scan can assess the density of tumour tissue, compared to normal brain tissue, as well as establish the mass effect (the effect of an additional space occupying mass within the closed cavity of the skull on the normal brain). Glioblastoma multiforme most often appear as irregularly shaped masses. When intravenous dyes are injected, these tumours avidly absorb dye and therefore are referred to as enhancing lesions.
- magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) – a diagnostic procedure that uses a combination of large magnets, radiofrequencies, and a computer to produce detailed images of organs and structures within the body. MRI provides greater anatomical detail than CT scan and can better distinguish between tumour, tumour-related swelling and normal tissue. MRI can distinguish between haemorrhage and tumour cyst.
- magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) – a test done along with MRI at specialized facilities that can detect the presence of particular organic compounds produced by the body's metabolism within sample tissue that can identify tissue as normal or tumour, and may be able to distinguish between glial tumours and tumours of neuronal origin.
- biopsy – a tissue sample from the tumour will be obtained either through a needle or by direct excision during a surgical procedure performed by a surgeon to confirm the diagnosis.
Specific treatment for a glioblastoma multiforme will be determined by your child's physician based on:
- your child's age, overall health, and medical history
- type, location, and size of the tumour
- extent of the disease
- your child's tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies
- how your child's doctors expects the disease to progress
- your opinion or preference
What are the treatments for a glioblastoma multiforme?
The primary modes of therapy for newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme includes maximal surgical removal, when possible, followed by radiation therapy. To date, no chemotherapy regimen has been demonstrated to increase survival in paediatric high-grade gliomas. As with all paediatric cancers, care should be delivered at specialized centres where multidisciplinary teams can provide not only expert diagnostics and experienced medical, surgical and radiation oncologists, but also psychosocial support, neuro-psychological testing and specialized school plans, all delivered in a child- and family-sensitive and friendly environment.
Treatment may include (alone or in combination):
surgery – surgery has multiple roles in the management of glioblastoma multiforme, including treatment of increased intracranial pressure, biopsy and tumour removal. For operable tumours, the extent of surgical removal is clearly related to prognosis. Most high-grade gliomas cannot be completely removed because of the infiltrating fingers of tumour which characterize their growth. However, multiple studies have demonstrated that maximal removal results in greater survival. tumours of the cerebral hemispheres are in general more easily removed than those of the midline, diencephalic structures. Near complete resection of glioblastoma multiforme in combination with radiation therapy has been reported to produce a 5-year survival rate as high as 25 percent, whereas incompletely removed tumours were associated with a less than 5 percent 5-year survival. The infiltrating nature of these tumours makes removal difficult. Technological advances such as the intra-operative MRI, where surgeons can visualize the tumour as they operate with MRI scans, can enhance efforts at resection of difficult tumours and thereby improve survival.
radiation therapy – has been shown to increase survival in high-grade gliomas. Most recurrences of high-grade gliomas occur locally and thus a number of additional radiotherapy modalities are being evaluated to increase the local dose of radiation. Brachytherapy involves the instillation of radioactive material directly into the tumour. This allows for much greater doses to be delivered to the tumour. This has yet to be shown to offer a survival advantage and has been associated with increased toxicity. Additionally, radiosurgery to deliver additional radiation to residual tumour masses has been in trial and as yet is without clear survival benefit. Other techniques to increase dose have similarly been unable to enhance survival over conventional radiotherapy. Radiation therapy uses high-energy rays (radiation) from a specialized machine to damage or kill cancer cells and shrink tumours.
chemotherapy – a drug treatment that works by interfering with the cancer cell's ability to grow or reproduce. Different groups of chemotherapy drugs work in different ways to fight cancer cells and shrink tumours. Often, a combination of chemotherapy drugs is used to fight a specific cancer. Certain chemotherapy drugs may be given in a specific order depending on the type of cancer it is being used to treat.
While chemotherapy can be quite effective in treating certain cancers, the agents do not differentiate normal healthy cells from cancer cells. Because of this, there can be many adverse side effects during treatment. Being able to anticipate these side effects can help the care team, parents, and child prepare, and, in some cases, prevent these symptoms from occurring, if possible.A variety of chemotherapeutic regimens have been evaluated in the treatment of newly diagnosed high-grade gliomas. While studies in adults have suggested that procarbazine, vincristine and CCNU (PVC) produce modest responses in grade III gliomas, this has not been demonstrated for paediatric cases or for grade IV tumours. Several other regimens have also produced responses, but none has improved survival. Increased doses of chemotherapy in the setting of autologous bone marrow transplant have also not produced notable advantage.
Chemotherapy is systemic treatment, meaning it is introduced to the bloodstream and travels throughout the body to kill cancer cells. Chemotherapy can be given:
- as a pill to swallow
- as an injection into the muscle or fat tissue
- intravenously (directly to the bloodstream; also called IV)
- intrathecally – chemotherapy given directly into the spinal column with a needle
Side effects in the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme can arise from surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. Surgical morbidity, especially the production of neurologic deficits, is minimized when procedures are performed in specialized centres where experienced neurosurgeons, working in the most technologically advanced settings, can provide the most extensive resections while preserving normal brain tissue.
How are side effects managed?
Radiation therapy often produces inflammation, which can temporarily exacerbate symptoms and dysfunction. To control this inflammation steroids are sometimes necessary.
Some of the chemotherapy agents are associated with fatigue, diarrhoea, constipation and headache. These side effects can be effectively managed under most circumstances with standard medical approaches.
Many specialized brain tumour treatment centres have now added staff who are expert in complementary or alternative medicine. These treatments, including acupuncture/acupressure, therapeutic touch, massage, herbs and dietary recommendations, can also help to control pain and side effects of therapy.
What is the expected outcome after treatment for glioblastoma multiforme?
The prognosis for glioblastoma multiformes remains poor. The best reported survival rates for radically removed tumours treated with adjuvant radiation therapy approaches 25 percent at 5 years. This is a minority of patients, however, and most fall into the incompletely removed category with 5-year survival rates of less than 5 percent. The more complete removal of hemispheric tumours may be associated with greater survival.

One of the benefits of being in the biz, as they say, is all the incredibly stylish and cool women I am surrounded by on a daily basis. These are the ladies who really influence and inspire my style and make fashion so much fun for me personally.
One such lady is Alia Ahmed-Yahia, also known as The Style Scout. I've been bumping into Alia on the streets for ten years and every time I see her she is 100% owning her unique look and style, and always looking so good. As a former editor and style consultant at magazines like Vanity Fair and Elle, a regular morning show contributor, a talented style blogger and the creator of my favorite podcast, she's just super impressive and talented and clearly I have a crush.
To kick off our new "Styled By" series, I asked Alia how to wear one of this season's biggest trends, the bomber jacket. I knew she would have a fresh take on how to get in the game without looking like every other girl out there. Here's what Alia had to say:
Call a timeout for your structured blazers and sleek motos because spring's main message is all about ease and individuality. A bomber style is not only an easy swap for your regular jacket, it's a workhorse when it comes to cool factor. Modern versions aren't the casual staple you're imagining with chic takes on the classic walking down runways like Gucci and Stella McCartney. Look for unique bombers in silky fabrics and leather, with embellishments, embroidery and sporty stripes.
Unique patterns and textures? Twist my arm Alia, why don't you!! While this style forecast couldn't be more up my alley, we all know finding the perfect piece is one thing and figuring out how to style it is another all together. I turned to Alia again for tips on how to transform a cool jacket into a cool outfit:
Tip #1: Make it the statement piece in your look
I love this as a go-to formula when you have nothing to wear and need to get out of the house FAST. Start with a monochromatic outfit (ahem may I suggest a bodysuit), throw on a patterned bomber and you're set. Try this ASOS skirt (mine is old APC) and this Forever21 men's floral bomber (or snag my floral Ralph Lauren Polo version, available in RL stores) for instant easier-than-it-looks street style.
Tip #2: Mix sporty and dressed up
Sporty is my jam, and this is the kind of look I could easily wear everyday (and will try hard not to). To pull it off, start with your favorite leggings and tshirt and offset with a dressy bomber like this amazing version by Opening Ceremony. The key is to make sure it's truly fancy – look for silky fabrics, unique patterns, embellishments etc. A luxe backpack is the perfect finishing touch for channeling your inner model-on-the-go.
Tip #3: Try it over a t-shirt and long pencil (bonus for leather)
If I'm allowed to have two jams, leather (or vegan leather) is definitely up there with my love of anything sporty. This hard-working Ralph Lauren twill bomber can skew casual, but takes on a whole new edge when paired with a leopard tshirt and Universal Standard leather skirt. As always, sneakers for the win. Any girl will feel cool as hell in this outfit!
Looking for more style tips to play around with? Alia suggests trying your bomber zipped up over a midi length knit dress, as a layer over a denim button down + skinnies, tossed over the shoulders of a jumpsuit or worn open with a pleated midi skirt. Thanks Alia, I can't wait to try em all!

A friend referred to me a call for application for a Creativity Workshop dubbed, "Toy Design and Inclusive Play."
I know how creativity and the element of fun are instrumental in education and advocacy work so I thought the workshop would be very relevant to me especially so that I'm exploring how to further use creativity as a tool for my advocacy for the environment. Plus, this friend mentioned it's one of the best workshops she has attended so you can imagine how ecstatic I was when I learned that I would be part of it.
After 20+ hours of travel time, including layover, I reached freezing Berlin which was the venue of the workshop. I was brave to just bring with me a thin piece of coat which thankfully helped me survive the cold. Aside from the temperature, a rice-eating Asian like me, and that sounds stereotypical but yeah, I had to get used to a lot of bread and cheese as the staple. I, surprisingly, adjusted quite well.
The event started with a symposium where we had resource speakers who talked about inclusion, fairness and sustainability, toy-free time, and education without prejudice, all in the context of toy design.
The participants were also given a chance to talk a bit about ourselves and the work that we do. I was inspired to hear the stories of every one. I thought we were a bunch of passionate and creative people and I was excited to see what games and toys we would create as an output of the workshop.
We had to visit different institutions that cater to people with special needs. I went to Helene Haeusler School, a special school with the main focus on mental development.
It was an impressive facility with small-size classes and sufficient teachers. The curriculum is child-based and is adapted to the learners. There's a pool, a recreational hall, a kitchen (where students can learn how to cook), a sleeping room, and so much more.
Seeing all these made me realize how it's miles apart compared to the Philippines but it also made me appreciate the little steps we are taking and the efforts we are putting as a nation into being more inclusive.
Everyone then started coming up with ideas and toy designs based on the respective visits that we had. It took us almost a week to work on our masterpieces and it was amazing to see all our creation come to life.
I paired up with Cinzia, a designer from Italy, and the collaboration made life easier for me. I was intimidated at the beginning considering that I didn't have any design background but I was happy to be able to keep up. Cinzia and I built on each other's ideas that resulted to two toys – "LeafBall" and "Koordi."
"LeafBall" is a tactile toy that promotes communication skills, focus and group interaction. It's like story dice but in place of the dice, figures to be used in the story are hidden in pockets of leaf-shaped fabric to be folded on each other to form a ball. The ball is passed, the leaf pealed, and a
figure that will form part of a collective story will be revealed.
"Koordi" (coordination), on the other hand, is a collaborative game where players hold the strings and move the board together to slide wooden rings into slots, one after the other, to form words.
The UNESCO Creativity Workshop, organized by Fördern durch Spielmittel, was on its 18th installment and through the years has been spearheaded by Siegfried Zoels, who has done several initiatives related to people with disabilities.
A Dr. Seuss quote goes, "Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened." I'm definitely smiling now thinking about how I've learned a lot about disability or rather how it should be seen not as inability; I got to work with a brilliant group of creative people; and as a bonus, gained friends for keeps! It was one of the best workshops, indeed.

Aid Working Group Gets Started
The Ministerial Working Group, set up to review New Zealand's overseas aid program has established its terms of reference and is ready to start work.
Minister for Overseas Aid, Matt Robson announced the terms of reference today. The group will report back early next year with recommendations on overall priorities for aid.
Terms of reference target how New Zealand aid can best contribute to the elimination of poverty and help to build good stable governance, particularly in the Pacific region.
"Recent instability in Fiji and the Solomon Islands makes this review very timely. Our aid programs can help to build a safe and secure region, and in the long run we all benefit from that," says Matt Robson.
"New Zealand's work in East Timor is a fine example of how aid can work for all parties involved. It is our aid budget that funds New Zealand prison officers, custom officers, police and other aid workers in East Timor who are vital in setting up a stable infrastructure in that war-torn fragile country. In the process we are also encouraging the use of New Zealand personnel, skills, businesses and services.
"New Zealanders have every right to stand tall in the world and feel proud of the achievements made in their name with New Zealand aid.
"We are playing a particularly active role in the Pacific, finding ways of solving Pacific problems with Pacific solutions. I want to visit schools across New Zealand and talk to these tax-payers of tomorrow about our aid program so that our kids can contact other kids in Pacific countries who are the direct recipients of our aid.
"A thorough review is timely. The last comprehensive evaluation of NZODA was carried out more than ten years ago."
"In May of this year the OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC) commended New Zealand for its overseas aid program as "serious and credible", but called on the new Labour Alliance government to act on its strong commitment to poverty reduction by carrying out a thorough review. That is exactly what we are doing," said Matt Robson.
The Working Group will be lead by two full time members, development consultant Annette Lees, and Joseph Grossman who has worked in development for many years.

Death's Head Rebellion(1990)
(The second book in the War World series)
A novel by John F Carr and Jerry Pournelle
The cause of the collapse of the First Empire of Man in the tenty-seventh century was a war of extermination fought between the 'old style' humanity and the bio-engineered Sauron Supermen, creatures who walked like men. thought like battle computers, and fought like demons. Though humanity eventually annihilated the home world of the Saurons, the cost was high; the Emprie fell into a new Dark Age in which the secret of interstellar travel was lost for centuries. So when a remnant of the Saurons escaped to a world called Haven, the merely human inhabitants should have been easy prey for the superhuman newcomers. But the Saurons hadn't anticipated a mutiny in their own ranks leading to a three-cornered war.

Smartphone cameras are a very important feature at the moment of marketing. People love to shoot good pictures, mostly to others or landscapes.
In the past months, Selfies are the new style, and front cameras are required to have higher resolutions, with better flashes and lens. This reduces construction quality and elevates price ranges.
The Chinese manufacturer Oppo solved this conflict with their flaming Oppo N1 smartphone adding a great idea: a rotating 13 megapixel camera that can be used as front or back camera, when required.
All of a sudden, we have a 13MP camera to shoot selfies. What a record.
The Oppo N1, porting a Snapdragon 600 and 2GB of RAM is a great smartphone, but incorporates a disadvantage (or advantage depending on your preferences): It is HUGE.
It carries a 5.9 inch display which makes it pretty hard to handle in a single hand, or even put in your pocket.
This is the main reason why Oppo is about to launch the new Oppo N1 Mini, which is a more compact device with a 5 inch screen, much more convenient to handle.
The most interesting fact is that it will maintain the rotating camera, without affecting the size of the phone.
There are no technical specifications for the device yet, but we may assume that the screen reduction, compared to the Oppo N1, will reduce the resolution from 1029×1080 to 1280×720 pixels.
Among other things, it will be sold in white, yellow, light blue, pink, and will sport a metallic band that will distinguish it from the bigger bother.
Prices are unknown, but it is said to be announced officially on May 30 of this year.

If the polls are right, then this Sunday Greece will elect Syriza, the left-wing coalition party (its name is actually a Greek acronym for "Coalition of the Radical Left"). This will bring to power the first staunchly anti-austerity party in the EU, and the first element in their policy document is to "Write-off the greater part of public debt".
That is likely to lead to some fractious negotiations with the EU, and possibly even a messy exit from the Euro. Before that happens, there will be some messy commentary in the media as well, and I fully expect most commentators to take a line like that in my title.
After all, it's common knowledge that the Greeks lied about their levels of public debt to appear to qualify for the EU's entry criteria, which include that aggregate public debt should be below 60% of GDP. Though there's an argument that Goldman Sachs, many of whose ex-staff are now leading Central Bankers, helped the Greeks make this alleged lie, the responsibility for it will be shafted home to the Greeks, and that in turn will be used to argue that the Greeks deserve to suffer.
The story, in other words, will be that the Greeks were architects of their own dilemma, and that therefore they should pay for it, rather than making the rest of the world suffer through a write-down of their debts. Emotion will rule the debate rather than logic.
So to cast a logical eye over this forthcoming debate, I'm going to consider who is really to blame for the Greek dilemma by considering another country entirely: Spain.
Spain's situation lets us get away from Greece's emotional baggage. Today, Greece and Spain are in very similar situations, with unemployment rates of well over 25%—higher than the worst the USA recorded during the Great Depression (see Figure 1). But unlike Greece, Spain before the crisis was doing everything right, according to the EU.
Figure 1: Unemployment in Greece, Spain and the USA
More importantly still, Spain's government debt when the EU imposed its austerity regime (mid-2010) was still well below America's, even though both had risen substantially since the crisis. As Figure 2 shows, Spain's government debt ratio was 65% of GDP then, versus 78% for the USA.
The whole purpose of the EU's austerity program was to reduce government debt levels. Reducing government debt was the political topic du jour in America as well from 2010 on, but the various attempts to impose austerity came to naught: instead, after shooting up because of deliberate policy at the time of the crisis (think "Cash for Clunkers") America's budget deficit merely responded to the state of the economy. Politically paralyzed Washington talked austerity, but never actually imposed it.
So who was more successful: the deliberate, policy-driven EU attempt to reduce government debt, or the "muddle through" USA? Figure 2 shows that muddle through was a hands-down winner: the USA's government debt to GDP ratio has stabilized at 90% of GDP, while Spain's has sailed past 100%.
The USA's macroeconomic performance has also been far better than Spain's under the EU's policy of austerity. Comparing the USA's unemployment rate to Spain's has to account for the fact that it was higher before the crisis—at 8.5%, Spain's unemployment was 1.75 times the USA's when the crisis began. It is now about 4 times the USA's.
Figure 2: Government debt levels in Spain and the USA
Figure 3: Government debt levels in Greece and the USA
But I know that data isn't enough to sway the public opinion—let alone the bureaucrats in Brussels. So we need to know the why: why did austerity in Europe fail to reduce the government debt ratio, while muddle-through has stabilized it in the USA? Here I return to my hobby-horse: the key factor that I consider and mainstream economists ignore—the level and rate of change of private debt.
The first clue this gives us is that the EU's pre-crisis poster-boy, Spain, had the greatest growth in private debt of the three—far exceeding the USA's. Its peak debt level was also much higher—225% of GDP in mid-2010 versus 170% of GDP for the USA in 2009 (see Figure 4).
Figure 4: Private debt ratios in Spain, Greece and the USA
The second clue comes from the change in debt data: the factor that Greece and Spain have in common is that the private sector is reducing its debt level drastically—in Spain's case by over 20% per year. The USA, on the other hand, ended its private sector deleveraging way back in 2012. Today, Americans are increasing their private debt levels at a rate of about 5% of GDP per year—well below the peak levels prior to the crisis, but roughly in line with the rate of growth of nominal GDP.
Figure 5: Annual change in private debt in Spain, Greece and the USA
The third clue? I'll leave that for my next post—this one is long enough already. But the conclusion is that Greece's crisis is the EU's fault, and the EU should "pay" via the debt write-offs that Syriza wants—and then some.
