Philippines has 7,107 islands rich with natural resources and perfect tourist destinations. From rain forests, beaches, waterfalls, island hopping in Hundred Islands (where 100 islets are too close that you can swim to get to the other). With popular destinations like Boracay, Hundred Islands, Palawan, Vigan, Taal Volcano in Tagaytay, Baguio City, Banaue Rice Terraces, Hanging Coffins in Sagada (a mystical experience), Puerto Galera, Subic Bay and a lot more, I can't really list all the fun things to do and places to see in the Philippines.
Our common public transportation like Metro Rail Transit (MRT), Light Rail Transit (LRT), Jeepney, e-Jeepney, taxis, tricycles, and buses will be your helpful budget means get around the country. Solo travel is just beginning to be popular locally which means we can hope for more transport business to cater for independent budget travelers. Unlike the neighboring countries like Thailand and Vietnam who have mastered the budget traveling with their, open tour night buses, and full serviced tour bus (I meant, full attendant service like attendants serving snacks, TV, headphones, pillows and blanket, water bottle, and free meals on a long overnight trips).
Food are available everywhere, fast food joints, café, hotels and restaurants, however you want your food. May it be a fancy service, street food, or convenience store kind of food. Street vendors are everywhere if you are willing to take it to the extreme food adventure like eating 'Balut'(steamed Duck's egg), 'kwek-kwek'(quail eggs), and street barbecue.
(Hundred Islands)
Locals speak Tagalog, and English is widely used everywhere(Filipinos are generally shy when talking to Westerners, so you may find some that would rather hide or smile). Philippines is one of the highest number of English speaking people in Southeast Asia (English is the second language).
We will start traveling Philippines from the capital city Manila on my following posts. So enjoy and absorb the beauty of the Philippines through the eyes of a discount travel blogger!

This Fourth of July was filled with barbecues, fireworks, beaches and bikinis and The Hip Event has rounded up our favorite celebrities to see what they rocked on this festive holiday.
Tons of celebrities decided to opt for their swimsuits and head to the beach. Supermodel, Gigi Hadid, attended Taylor Swift's Fourth of July party in Rhode Island and hit the beach looking amazing in this patriotic one piece.
Also in attendance at Swift's holiday bash were stars like Ruby Rose, Blake Lively, and Cara Delevingne. The group posed for a photo with the fireworks looking extra patriotic.
More stars rocking festive bikinis were Bethenny Frankel, Paris Hilton, Emma Roberts and Jenna Dewan Tatum all looking amazing (as always).
Miley Cyrus sported pigtails with red clips and an American flag top posing with her pup, Barbie, who was also dressed up for the holiday.
Kate Upton wished her dad a happy birthday with this adorable photo of them and her accessorized dog. Upton kept it super casual with a grey tee and white jeans and a super festive necklace.
While other celebrities attended parties, Ashley Tisdale and Sofia Vergara decided to host parties of their own! Sofia looked party hostess perfect in a white off-the-shoulder top and red maxi skirt. Tisdale posed with her American flag wearing sunnies, an American flag top, denim shorts, Adidas sneakers and a super cute boho-inspired necklace.
Also rocking the off-the-shoulder trend was Victoria Justice. Looking super festive, Justice wore ripped jeans, a striped off the shoulder top, a red bandana and paired it with the perfect red lip.
One party that was hard to miss via social media was the REVOLVE Clothing party held in the heart of The Hamptons. With tons of celebrities in attendance, it was definitely the most fashionable party of the weekend. Gone Girl, Emily Ratajkowski, attended and looked effortlessy stylish in a white top and a pair of jeans.
Celebrities kept it super casual this year while still showing off their American Pride. Fourth of July is always a super fun holiday and we'll just have to wait until next year to see what they'll do next!

The Summit will include sessions run and informed by leading national authorities and subject matter experts.
Police Governance Summit 2018 – Agenda to cover…
We are currently preparing the detailed agenda for this year's Summit. Topics we aim to cover include:
- Collaboration: How can previous experiences (such as the National Police Air Service, Warwickshire – West Mercia, Dorset – Devon & Cornwall and more) inform future collaboration on areas such as forensics and firearms operations?
- Complaints: As the police complaints system changes, what early lessons might there be?
- Police and Crime Panels: What works best?
- The Strategic Policing Requirement (SPR): As "national threats" evolve, how will local contributions need to change?
- Chief Officer recruitment: Encouraging the right candidates to apply.
- PCC Governance 2012-2019: Is the time right for a national review?
- Police Finance: How can the system be reformed when every force (and PCC) thinks they're a special case?
- Force Management Statements and police demand
- Seven (and counting) UK models for policing governance: What would help the sharing of good practice?
- Police and Fire Governance: What are the emerging lessons?
- Safeguarding children and young people: What are the implications for policing governance?
- PCC elections in 2020: How best to help PCC candidates prepare?
We welcome suggestions, both on topics you wish to see covered and on speakers you would hope might contribute. Please leave any suggestions in the "Comments" box below.
Who should attend?
The Summit will be of particular interest and relevance to:
- OPCC Chief Executives, Chiefs of Staff and Treasurers

Researchers are carrying out intensive work on the unit – dubbed the hedianbao, or "portable nuclear battery pack".
Although the small, lead-cooled reactor could be placed inside a shipping container measuring about 6.1 metres long and 2.6 metres high, it would be able to generate 10 megawatts of heat, which, if converted into electricity, would be enough to power some 50,000 households.
It is also capable of running for years or even decades without refuelling, and scientists say that because it produces neither dust nor smoke, even on a small island a resident would hardly notice its existence.
The research is partially funded by the People's Liberation Army.
Researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences' Institute of Nuclear Energy Safety Technology, a national research institute in Hefei, Anhui province, say they hope to be able to ship the first unit within five years.

We now have a dedicated website up and running for all orders… http://theblockscribe.co.uk
Designed from the ground up with precision in CAD and 3D printed with accuracy using a quality yellow PLA filament so you'll never lose it!
Accurately scribe a parallel line along a surface with the six pre-set scribe dimensions of 9,12,15,18,19 & 22mm to correspond with the most common sheet material thicknesses used in the UK. Great for fitted furniture installers, carpenters and general use where a set dimensioned line is required.
Made specifically to suit the Staedtler yellow and black Noris pencils that are commonly available. The pencil hole in The Block Scribe is threaded to lightly but firmly grip the pencil, gently wind it in and you're good to go. Keep your pencil sharp with a pencil sharpener to maintain a crisp centralised line.
Important bit:
We are very environmentally aware with our materials and products. As from next week we will only be using 100% recyclable paper padded envelopes.
The 3D printing filament we use comes on a recyclable spool and is biodegradable. We buy our filament from Ooznest.co.uk – PLA 3D Printer Filament (Polylactic Acid) is currently the most popular material used in 3D Printing worldwide. Ooznest Materials PLA Filament is a thermoplastic polymer made from sustainable resources like corn starch and sugarcane. This makes PLA biodegradable, in the correct environment it can break down in 6 months.♻

Line follower Robot is one of the first robots that beginners and students would get their first robotic experience with. In this project, we have designed a simple Line Follower Robot using Arduino and some other components
Circuit Diagram
Components Required
Arduino UNO (or Arduino Nano)
L293D Motor Driver IC
Geared Motors x 2
Robot Chassis
IR Sensor Module x 2
Black Tape (Electrical Insulation Tape)
Connecting Wires
Power supply
Block Diagram
Sensors (IR Sensor): We have used IR Sensor Module as the line detecting sensor for the project. It consists of an IR LED and a Photo diode and some other components like comparator, LED etc
.As mentioned earlier, we have used a pre – assembled IR Sensor. In case you do not have one, you can make your own sensor using the following circuit.
The working of the IR Sensor and its scope in this project will be explained in the actual working of the Line Follower Robot.
Controller (Arduino UNO): Arduino UNO is the main controller in the project. The data from the sensors (IR Sensors) will be given to Arduino and it gives corresponding signals to the Motor Driver IC.
Motor Driver (L293D): L293D Motor Driver IC is used in this project to drive the motors of the robot. It receives signals from Arduino based on the information from the IR Sensors.
Note: The power supply to the motors must be given from the motor driver IC. Hence, choose the appropriate power supply which is sufficient for all the components including the motors.
Motors (Geared Motors): We have used two geared motors at the rear of the line follower robot. These motors provide more torque than normal motors and can be used for carrying some load as well.
Working of Arduino Line Follower Robot
In this project, we have designed an Arduino based Line Follower Robot. The working of the project is pretty simple: detect the black line on the surface and move along that line. The detailed working is explained here.
As mentioned in the block diagram, we need sensors to detect the line. For line detection logic, we used two IR Sensors, which consists of IR LED and Photodiode. They are placed in a reflective way i.e. side – by – side so that whenever they come in to proximity of a reflective surface, the light emitted by IR LED will be detected by Photo diode.
The following image shows the working of a typical IR Sensor (IR LED – Photodiode pair) in front of a light coloured surface and a black surface. As the reflectance of the light coloured surface is high, the infrared light emitted by IR LED will be maximum reflected and will be detected by the Photodiode.
In case of black surface, which has a low reflectance, the light gets completely absorbed by the black surface and doesn't reach the photodiode.
Using the same principle, we will setup the IR Sensors on the Line Follower Robot such that the two IR Sensors are on the either side of the black line on the floor. The setup is shown below.

I grew up in the Midwest. It was in a tiny town. It was a
town so small that both "resume speed" signs were on the same post, just on
opposite sides.
My wife called
little Wadena, Iowa, a "peek and plumb town." She says, "If you peeked around
the corner, you were plumb out of town."
Readers of
this column are used to reading about my road trips. This recent one covered
2,400 miles and six states at the end of May and early June.
We left Wyoming
in weather so bad on May 28 that we could not go through snowbound Laramie and
had to take a longer detour through Casper, Douglas, and Wheatland. Cheyenne
and Pine Bluffs had torrential downpours plus the threat of hail. Why does it
hail so much in the Cheyenne area?
While driving
an 80mph speed limit highway on Interstate 80 near Ogallala in more rain, a
diesel pickup blasted by us going 20 mph faster that we were going. Yup. It was pulling a long horse trailer and
was a member of that group of the fastest driving people in America. The
trailer had a Wyoming license plate. It was a Wyoming cowboy or cowgirl driving
a big pickup towing a huge horse trailer in a helluva hurry. Nobody drives faster than these folks. And
nobody puts on as many miles.
There was lots
of construction everywhere. The Wyoming Department of Transportation does a
good job with warning signs and are busy all over our state.
The Iowa Dept. of Transportation is
the worst though. They had a section of
Interstate 80 blocked down to one lane for 22 miles because of
"construction." Traffic was so bad we
were stopped several times. Semi-trailer truck drivers were going crazy trying
to move up.
When we
finally got to the end of all that, there was just an Iowa DOT pickup with two
guys slowly picking up all the barriers they had placed over those 22 miles. Sure made a lot of bad impressions on a lot
of out of state visitors.
We were in
Nancy's hometown of Harlan, Iowa for their annual Relay for Life event for the
fight against cancer. We marched for
Nancy's kid sister, Tami Rueschenberg, who has lung cancer and brother-in-law, Lee
Rasmussen, fighting lymphoma.
Later, we
buzzed up to northeast Iowa to "Driftless" country where the territory is full
of big hills, deep valleys, canyons, and amazing landscapes.
I had not
heard of the term "Driftless," but this apparently means a place skipped by the
glaciers, thus leaving all these hills and valleys. It is called Little Switzerland, which would
seem to be a very odd nickname for any part of super flat Iowa.
We met eight
of my siblings for a nice get-together including Ron Sniffin from Cheyenne and
Susan Kinneman of Riverton. We picnicked near Iowa's first state park, Backbone. This is a magical place originally called the
Devil's Backbone because of an odd rocky ridge that runs for about 12 miles
above the prairie around it.
The cemetery
at our hometown of Wadena included another gathering as we visited my dad's
grave along with a passel of ancestors.
It always
amazed me to see so many single older Irish women and men, living back in the
hills as spinsters and old bachelors. In the cemetery, we counted the multiple
headstones of five such families, which just seemed crazy to me.
As young
knuckleheads, we always called these old gals the "blessed virgins," as they
attended every church service and always claimed their assigned pews. Very
little socializing among the different clans.
Is this an
Irish thing? As I get older, this looks
more like a mystery than ever to me.
Didn't these folks have hormones firing in their bodies when they were
in their late teens and early twenties? I plan to check this out during my next
trip back there.
On our way
home, we took Interstate 90, which is a much quieter road than Interstate
I love to watch B-1 bombers take
off and land near Ellsworth Air Force Base outside of Rapid City. Wow, are they ever pretty machines. And yet
so deadly.
Interstate 90 seems like it gets
about 10 percent as much traffic as Interstate 80. You can go miles on end
without even seeing a semi-trailer truck.
Always glad to be back in Wyoming.
It is about as green as I have ever seen it. The farm country around Worland
was especially pretty.

Thalassemia Management
Thalassemia Management
M R Lokeshwar
Management of Thalassemic Child
It consists of:
- Confirmation of diagnosis
- Correction of the anemia with repeated RBCs transfusions.
- Removal of iron with iron chelating agents.
- Treatment of complications
- Correction of hemopoiesis by bone marrow transplantation.
- Prevention of the disease by antenatal diagnosis and genetic counselling.
- Pharmacological methods to increase gamma-chain synthesis.
- Gene replacement therapy.
Management of thalassemia major should be preferably done at a comprehensive thalassemia care center with outdoor transfusion facilities. A team approach includes a pediatric hematologist, a blood transfusion specialist, a psychologist and a social worker etc. This not only helps the patient and the family to face various medical and psychosocial problems, but also helps in early detection and management of complications.
Transfusion Therapy
Transfusion therapy in Thalassemia has two goals:
- To prevent anemia,
- To suppress endogenous erythropoiesis to avoid ineffective erythropoiesis.
Blood transfusion is mandatory for all children with Thalassemia major and for those children with Thalassemia intermedia who cannot maintain Hb above 7 gm% or for those who show evidence of growth retardation, severe bony changes or hypersplenism. Regular blood transfusions are presently the mainstay of treatment of Thalassemia.
When to transfuse:
- Transfusion is started at the time of diagnosis, that is when the child becomes clinically symptomatic.
- Thalassemia intermedia presents a complex therapeutic problem as these children may lead near normal life without being transfusion dependent. Occasionally, it may not be clear whether one is dealing with Thalassemia intermedia or major.
- Majority of Thalassemia intermedia can be detected by
*Age of onset of symptoms is usually more than two year.
*Increased indirect hyperbilirubinemia of 2 mg/dl or more.
*High reticulocyte count more than 10% at the time of diagnosis.
*Hb is usually maintained above 7-10 gm% without blood transfusion.
- If there is a doubt about the diagnosis, it is wiser to follow up these children regularly and transfusion therapy should be started only if Hb drops to less than 6-7 gm% and then regular transfusions are continued to maintain Hb level above 10-12 gm%.
What to transfuse?
- Transfuse them with triple saline washed packed cells to avoid transfusion reactions as saline washing minimises reactions due to leucocytes and plasma proteins.
- If cold centrifuge is required and is not available, simple packed cells may be given.
- Frozen cells: Freezing the RBCs to -80 degree Celsius, with an addition of glycerol to protect RBCs from damage of freezing and thawing, preserves 2,3-DPG and ATP in the red cells. Thus frozen cells can be stored as long as seven years at -20 degree Celsius. However, cost and high technology is involved, which do not permit its use even in developed countries.
- Leucocyte filters are also effective in eliminating neutrophils. Various filters available are ImmuGuard 500, Sepsea, Travanol, Ery Pure B, Pal leucocytes filters, which cost around Rs.150-500, and are not reusable. They are superfluous for those patients who have not developed febrile reactions.
How much to transfuse
- Transfusion regimen may be (1) low transfusion regimen where Hb is maintained around 6-10 gm%, (2)hypertransfusion: Hb level 10-12 gm% and supertransfusion where Hb is maintained at 12-14 gm%.
- The popular transfusion regimen of today is a hypertransfusion regime which aims at maintaining mean hemoglobin levels at12.5 gm/dl and pre-transfusion level not less than 10 gm%.
- Such a regimen permits normal growth and physical activity, suppresses erythropoiesis, thus preventing skeletal changes and gastrointestinal iron absorption and also inhibits extra-medullary hemopoiesis, thereby preventing splenomegaly and hypersplenism.
- With this regime, requirement of blood is high only at the start of therapy, and does not produce more iron overload than the low transfusion regime.
- Pre-transfusion Hb level should be high enough to inhibit bone marrow activity i.e. around 9.5-10 gm%.
- Post-transfusion Hb should not go above 16 gm/dl, since it can lead to hyperviscosity and its complications.
- When this therapy is started late in life when already hypersplenism has set in, splenectomy becomes mandatory.
Amount and Frequency of transfusion:
- It is desirable that patients receive not more than 10 cc packed cells/kg/day, which raises Hb level by about 3.5 gm/dl. In most of the patients, transfusion of about 10cc of packed RBC/kg every third week is adequate to maintain Pre-transfusion baseline Hb level at desired 10-11 gm/dl.
Rate of transfusion should be 5-7 ml/kg body weight/hour to avoid sudden increase in blood volume.
- In patients with cardiac insufficiency, transfusions may have to be given every second week and sometimes every week. - The duration of transfusion should be prolonged by decreasing the rate to 1-3 ml/kg/hr and not more than 5 ml/kg/hour.
How often to transfuse:
- Transfusions should preferably be given on an out-patient basis, at intervals of 2-4 weeks.
- Blood to be transfused should be crossmatched using Coomb's sera to minimize reactions. Blood should be taken from a voluntary donor and should be screened for hepatitis B antigen, HCV, Syphilis, malaria and HIV.
- The patients should be assessed annually for mean hemoglobin levels maintained overall blood requirement, physical growth and development, evidence of hypersplenism, antibody development and iron overload. On an average, the annual blood requirement is 180-200 ml of blood/kg. However, if the requirement exceeds this level, hypersplenism or development of anti-red cell antibodies have to be considered.
Complications of transfusions:
Febrile Reactions:
It is seen in 3-20% of patients and may be due to leucocyte or platelet antibodies, antibodies against RBC antigens, allergic reactions to other plasma or blood proteins or due to pyrogens present in transfused blood. Chills followed by fever may occur within an hour of transfusion or may be delayed for 24 hours. Headache, nausea, and vomiting may be associated.
Febrile reactions usually respond to anti-pyretic and anti-histaminic agents. Leucocyte filters are also effective in eliminating neutrophils, which are responsible for pyrogenic reactions.
Hemolytic Transfusion Reactions:
It occurs in 5-15% of cases. These are due to major or minor blood group mismatch and are characterized by fever, chills, tachycardia, nausea, vomiting,pallor, restlessness, anxiety, flushing of face, precordial oppression and pain, increased pulse rate and respiratory rate, generalized tingling sensation, pain in back and thigh, shock with cold and clammy skin, cyanosis and collapse. Delirium and convulsions may develop. Most feared complications are acute renal failure, hemorrhagic diathesis due to
and anaphylactic shock, all of which may be of life threatening proportions. Patients may develop indirect hyperbilirubinemia, hemoglobinemia, hemoglobinuria, reticulocytosis and positive Coomb's test and can occasionally go into acute renal failure and shock.
On onset of any early symptoms, transfusion should be stopped immediately. Anything unusual that alarms the mother should be respected. Older children (with Thalassemia) sometimes can even sense that something has gone wrong. As the mother always remembers the blood group of the child, it is a sound policy to show her the label on the bottle before starting the transfusion. For the first fifteen minutes, transfusion should be given slowly so as to detect any reactions at the earliest moment. If facilities are available, all patients should be typed for the common RBC antigens ie Rh, Cc, Dd, Ee, Kell, Kidd and Duffy (before starting regular transfusion). Monitoring of the antibodies must be continued life long.
Other reactions uncommonly seen and thought to be of uncertain etiology are sudden development of hypertension, convulsions, cerebral hemorrhage and edema after multiple transfusions.
Transfusion transmitted diseases
like malaria, syphilis, hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, Cytomegalovirus, and HIV infection can occur. All thalassemics who are negative for the hepatitis B surface antigen and antibody, should receive
Hepatitis B Vaccine
-4 doses at day 0, 1 month, 2nd month and 12th month intramuscularly. It also can be given intradermally in the dose of 0.1 cc, thus reducing the cost. This has been found to be effective by some workers. However, efficacy is not well proven.
Iron Overload and Chelation Therapy
Two factors contribute to iron overload in a thalassemic child:
- Enhanced gastrointestinal absorption of iron.
- Transfusional siderosis
Normal body iron content is 3-5 gm, whereas in a thalassemic child it could be around 0.75 gm/kg. It results from increased GI absorption of iron and blood received during transfusion therapy. In normal individual 1 mg of iron/day is absorbed from the gut, while in a thalassemic child it may be as high as 10mg/day. Each cubic centimeter of packed cells contains 1-1.6 mg of iron. With an average annual transfusion requirement of 180 cc/kg of packed cells, the body accumulates 200 mg/kg of iron every year. Transfusional iron overload leads to deposition of iron in the heart leading to cardiomyopathy and irregularity of heartbeats, in the pancreas, in the Islet of Langerhans leading to diabetes, in the liver and spleen leading to hepatosplenomegaly, hepatic fibrosis and cirrhosis of liver, in the pituitary glands leading to growth retardation, delayed puberty character, in the thyroid and parathyroid gland leading to those subclinical or clinical organ dysfunction, and in the skin leading to bronze or black discoloration of skin. Increased susceptibility to bacterial infection especially Yersenia is seen with iron overload, because relatively high serum iron levels may favor bacterial growth, or because of blockage of the mononuclear phagocyte system by the excessive red cell destruction. Iron accumulation in the myocardium can lead to death, either by involving the conducting tissues or by causing intractable cardiac failure due to cardiomyopathy. Serum ferritin concentration reflects the iron overload and is usually above 1000 ug/L. S. Ferritin above 7500 ug/L are found to be lethal. Despite extensive research for ideal chelating agent, desferrioxamine is currently the only chelating agent of real value for the management of thalassemia, being able to promote the excretion of iron.
Desferrioxamine is a hydroxylamine compound produced by streptomyces pyloses. A single gram of DFO is able to bind 85 mg of iron. Desferal (Desferrioxamine) should be started before the age of 3-5 years. Given on daily basis for a minimum of 5-6 times per week, it is given subcutaneously over 6-8 hours using an infusion pump. The daily dose of Desferal is about 30-70 mg/kg and should be tailored according to the need of the patient. In general, the goal is to keep the serum ferritin level below 1000 ng/ml.
Toxicity is minimal, no tachyphylaxis has been observed. When given parenterally there may be liberation of histamine leading to bradycardia, hypo/hypertension, rigors, headache, photophobia, feeling cold and hot etc. When given subcutaneously, local pain, induration, irritability and redness may occur. Visual abnormality may occur and includes decreased acuity of vision, peripheral field vision defects, defective dark adaptation, thinning of retinal vessels, retinal stippling and abnormal visual evoked responses and cataract, in 4-10% of patients.
High incidence of high frequency sensori-neural hearing loss has been reported in 4-38% of patient. As the auditory and visual toxicity are reversible, yearly slit lamp examination and audiometry are mandatory. Delayed linear growth has also been reported in children under three years of age treated with Desferal and may be accompanied by mild skeletal abnormalities such as short trunk, sternal protrusion and genu valgum.
Ascorbic acid deficiency increases insoluble iron (hemosiderin).
Vitamin C
helps in conversion of hemosiderin into ferritin from which iron can be chelated. High doses of
Vitamin C
can lead to increased free radical reaction and lipid peroxidation resulting in tissue damage and rapid cardiac decompensation and even death. Addition of
Vitamin C
100 mg daily prior to DFO therapy increases iron excretion. 60% of DFO chelated iron is excreted in urine and 40% in stool.
Over the last 20 years, more than 500 oral chelating compounds have been tried all over the world in search of an ideal chelating agent which can be effective, cheap, safe and can be given orally.
Among the various drugs under trial, few have completed animals studies, a few are being tried in human volunteers. The only drug which has entered human trial is Dimethylhydroxy Pyridone (1,2 Diemethy1-3-Hydroxy Pyrid-4-one (L1), developed in Hider's laboratory-London (40), also called as
and is available in India with the brandname of Kelfer.
Deferiprone (L1):
It mobilizes iron from transferrin, ferritin and hemosiderin. It is undergoing extensive trials in USA, UK, Canada, India and various other centres. Doses administered are 50-100 mg/kg body weight. Results show that it is 70-100% as effective as desferrioxamine. There has been no evidence of ear or eye toxicity. Urinary excretion of Ca, Cu, Mn, Mg was not affected. Kidney and liver parameters did not show any alteration. A few children had GI symptoms like nausea, vomiting, pain in abdomen and diarrhea. 20-30% children had arthropathy which was reversible after reducing the dose or on stopping L1. Physical findings included synovial thickening, synovial effusion, chondromalacia, mild flexion deformity of the knee, painful external rotation of the hip and vague generalized backache. ANA, dsDNA, antihistone antibodies were positive in a few cases. Drug-included lupus has been reported in few cases.
Absolute neutropenia and thrombocytopenia also have been reported in occasional cases. Physical examination particularly of the joints and complete blood count including platelet count must be done regularly when child is on
(L1) therapy.
With the advent of hyper and super-transfusion therapy, splenomegaly and hypersplenism have become a rarity and hence splenectomyis usually not needed in these patients. If the child has already developed splenomegaly and signs of hypersplenism and is above 5 years of age, splenectomy is indicated. The indications for splenectomy are :
- An increase in the yearly requirement of packed cells more than double the basal requirement i.e. packed cell 200 cc/kg/year or more.
- Decrease in WBC and platelet count, which is a late manifestation of hypersplenism.
- All children needing splenectomy should receive pneumococcal vaccine
- H-influenza vaccine, and
Meningococcal Vaccine
4 weeks prior to surgery.
- In endemic areas, prophylactic antimalarial treatment may be given to prevent malaria.
- Prophylactic penicillin therapy must be continued life-long.
- Episodes of infection should be treated promptly and newer antibiotics may be empirically started to prevent septicemia and other complications (if necessary these children should be hospitalized). Blood culture and sensitivity of antibiotics must be performed to guide treatment.
Bone Marrow Transplantation
A ray of hope for permanent cure and better future for children with genetic disorders has brightened with the rapid advancement in the techniques and the success of bone marrow transplantation. The credit of first bone marrow transplantation in thalassemia major goes to E.Donald Thomas who performed this procedure in an 18 month old thalassemic child in 1982 using HLA matched elder sister as donor. This child was cured of thalassemia. The first BMT in thalassemia in India was successfully done by Dr.M.Chandi at Christian Medical Collage, Vellore.
The principles of bone marrow transplantation in thalassemia are:
- To destroy and prevent regeneration of defective stem cells
- Sufficient immune suppression for good engraftment of normal marrow
- To infuse stem cells with normal gene for beta globin.
- To prevent GVHD with high doses therapy of Busulphan, Cyclophosphamide, total body irradiation and other modalities.
All over the world, over 1000 transplantations have been done with a 70-80% cure rate.
The three most important adverse prognostic factors for survival and event-free survival are the presence of hepatomegaly (liver more than 2 cms. below costal margin), portal fibrosis and iron overload. (Lucarelli et al). Bone marrow transplantation is most successful in patients who are young, properly transfused, well-chelated and in good clinical shape without hepatomegaly.
The cost of BMT in India is around Rs.4-5 lacs and is being done at Christian Medical Collage, Vellore and Tata Memorial Hospital,Parel, Mumbai, and AIIMS in Delhi.
Neocyte Transfusion
Propper et al in 1980, introduced the concept of transfusing thalassemic children with young red cells (Neocytes). In conventionally used unit of blood, red cells have a survival of 60 days. The mean age of a neocytes being 120 days, they survive in the recipient for 90 days, thus reducing the amount of blood required and prolonging the interval between two transfusions. IBM-2991 can be utilized for both washing the red cells and dividing them into populations of different ages by differential centrifugation technique. There is a reduction in the total units of blood transfused and iron overload. However this is not cost effective. The requirement of blood donors is increased and it requires costly equipment, technology and highly developed transfusion services. It is also time consuming.
Pharmacological MethodstTo Increase Gamma Chain Production and Gene Manipulation
Main pathology of beta thalassemia is reduced production of beta-chain leading to excess of unpaired alpha -globin chain which precipitate leading to ineffective erythropoiesis or hemolysis of RBCs resulting in anemia. It has been noted that hypomethylation of gene increases its expression and when methylated, the gene is not expressed. A number of drugs like 5'Azacytidine and
have been shown to increase the production of gamma chains both in animals and human beings by causing hypomethylation of gene by decreasing the activity of the enzyme DNA methyl transferase. This increase in gamma chain synthesis prevents the Alpha chain precipitation by forming HbF (a 2 g 2) and thereby increasing the life span of red cells. 5-Azacytidine is recommended in the dose of 2 mg/kg/day intravenous infusion in ringer lactate or saline solution at the rate of 6 mg/hour for 7 days. This leads to an increase in Hb from 8 to 10.8 gm% in 2-3 weeks and an increase in fetal Hb from 1.06% to 20% on the 40th day. Side effects like nausea, vomiting, suppression of bone marrow and potential carcinogenesis have put limitations on its use in practice and unless a more effective compound with less toxicity becomes available such therapy is not recommended for thalassemia major. Augmenting the production of gamma chain reduces imbalance of globin chain and increases synthesis of HbF and thus lessening the severity of the disease. Various drugs that stimulate HbF production are 5-azacytidine, hydroxyurea, Butyrate compounds and erythropoietin.
These are found naturally increased in diabetic mothers. Their babies at birth have 100 % HbF. In vitro trials found the efficacy of these drugs in increasing the HbF production. This drug is given I.V. infusion slowly over 6-8 hours in dose of 200-400 mg/kg/day and has shown to increase HbF to 8-12% and cause a rise in Hb by 2-3 gm%. The problem with this drug is the tedious I.V. route. Oral analogue, Na Butyrate is useful in some patients to sustain the response after IV therapy. The side effects are few and include nausea, vomiting, electrolyte disturbances and occasional seizures. The actual efficacy of this drug is found to be lacking in many patients with sickle cell anemia and thalassemia intermedia. Further trials are awaited before it becomes available commercially. L-carnitine, an analogue of butyrate, has been tried in thalassemic patients but response obtained has been poor in most of the trials.
Genetic Engineering:
Insertion of normal gene in the stem cells of recipient remains a known challenging goal of future therapy. There are two main approaches to gene therapy : 1) Somatic approach in which non-germ line cells are involved. 2) Transgenic approach in which transfused gene can be expressed in subsequent generations. This therapy is still in experimental stage and likely to be therapy of future management of thalassemia.
Antenatal diagnosis and genetic counseling:
As thalassemia is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner there are 25% chances of producing thalassemia major child in each pregnancy. Population screening, identification of carriers, genetic counseling, antenatal diagnosis in women at risk and selective termination of affected fetus can prevent the birth of thalassemia major child. Prenatal diagnosis can be done by estimation of relative rate of globin biosynthesis by fetoscopy and fetal blood sampling around 16-18 weeks of intrauterine life or by analysis of foetal DNA by ultrasound guided chorionic villous biopsy at around 8-9 weeks of gestation or foetal amniocytes by amniocentesis.
Thalassemia Management - Conclusion
With the better understanding of molecular biology and pathophysiology of thalassemia, advances in the transfusion therapy, organized quality care and effective chelation therapy, thalassemics can become fully active members of the society with proper physical, mental and sexual growth (without any disfiguration). They are able to profit from their opportunities and enjoy positions that they are entitled to in the society. With the free availability of oral chelators in near future, and establishment of more and more outdoor transfusion centres and thalassemia societies, the management of thalassemia major will become easier and economically feasible. With the advent of BMT, cure is possible. Gene therapy still remains a hope for the future. In developed countries where all these facilities are already available, more and more thalassemic children are leading a normal healthy life and even achieving parenthood. Prenatal screening and diagnosis as well as modern management of thalassemia are technologically complex and expensive, and thus their benefits remain limited only to the industrialized developed world & in certain centres in India. Unfortunately, developing countries like ours still have a long way to go.

Ignore the crap advice on here. You need to check with the local authority in each area to find out what their rules are. Where I live an HMO is defined as 5 unrelated people living in a property of three storeys or more. It is worth looking on Spareroom too.Source(s): UK landlord.
Read the laws "at leat 3 tenants live there............you share kitchen, bathroom...." = HMO. 5 tenants is a 'large' HMO

You have to look for HMOs as it is illegal to rent to three unrelated people without the property being registered and most residential landlords do not want to register their property as HMOs... generally because of the additional costs, inspection and because it attracts the wrong type of tenants they want...generally young and/or students

To rent a house out to three unrelated people, they need to be registered as a HMO (House of Multiple Occupation) and they need to be licenced by the local Council. Most landlords renting out a 3 bed house just find it easier and less hassle to rent to a family or couple.
You need to find a shared house with 3 empty rooms, or if you are students, you could find a student house that allows multiple occupants.
I also suggest you speak to a couple of local letting agents who can advise you

Coach Manzanares has set a challenging season for his players, consistently putting the Lady Panthers up against bigger schools.
The Peñasco girls basketball team nabbed second place in the Ben Lujan Tournament at Pojoaque High School this weekend, giving them a 7-2 start to their season.
Thursday (Dec. 20)
To open the tournament, the Lady Panthers played the 4A Bernalillo Lady Spartans Thursday (Dec. 20). Their 70-53 win brought them head-to-head with the Santa Fe Indian School on Friday.
Friday (Dec. 21)
The Lady Panthers' performance Friday (Dec. 21) against the Lady Braves of the Santa Fe Indian School demonstrated real determination. The Braves, the third-ranked class 3A team in New Mexico, had a double-digit lead, but the Panthers refused to quit.
To bring themselves from behind to the tight 49-47 win, the Panthers dialed it up on defense. Though they were outscored in each of the first three quarters, in the fourth they were able to score double the 12 points of the Santa Fe Indian School.
Coach Gilbert Manzanares kept his players focused when the going was tough and drew up the final game-winning play to Carly Gonzales who played her reliably excellent game. The real difference in this come-from-behind win was likely Adrianna Tafoya who elevated her play to meet the demands of the game.
Saturday (Dec. 22)
In the championship round, the 2A Lady Panthers took on the first-ranked team in 4A and tournament hosts, the Pojoaque Valley Elkettes. It was the Elkettes who took home the trophy after their 51-37 win.
Coach Manzanares has set a challenging season for his players, consistently putting the Lady Panthers up against bigger schools. As they rise to meet difficult opponents, they increase their preparation and cohesiveness for their district games later in the season.

Celtic Antiquities & Ancient Artefacts
Stretching predominantly across the Iron and Medieval ages, the Celts were an Indo-European group of people, with varying identities and language disparities. Prominent Celtic periods include the Hallstatt culture, beginning from as early as the late Bronze age in 1200 B.C. and the La Tene culture, which was eventually overrun by the Roman Empire. Our Celtic antiquities include bronze jewellery, weaponry and ceremonial pieces.

Bonus Attribute: +1 Intelligence
The Hikaru are the masters of the Clan of Sunlight, a pious and highly traditional clan priests and shrine keepers dedicated to the service of the Radiant Lady of the Sun. Only the women of the family develop the gift of speaking with the kami, and as a result the Family is matriarchal, with rulership passing down the maternal line. The Family's founder was once an Itsumaru Fire Sage assigned holdings far from her clan's capital. When her lands were cut off the rest of the Negurakori by a border shift, she and her servants were also split off into their own lesser clan by the same Imperial decree. Stripped of her history and heritage, she felt purposeless until granted a vision by divine Kagayaki commanding her to build a great temple to the Sun.
Physically, the Hikaru are often quite slight, with large eyes and a slightly browned, sun-kissed complexion. They tend to dress very formally, seldom revealing much skin.
In temperament, Hikaru tend to be quiet and contemplative, spending much of their time in prayer and meditation. However, as a Family the Hikaru have a deep streak of independence, drawing on their direct service to the Lady of the Sun, and few have any patience for disrespect for their divine patroness or for interference from any of the Major Clans.
Hikaru are renowned in the Empire for their great library of fire magic, their unparalleled piety, and the high quality of their calligraphy, including many very fine illustrated manuscripts.
Bonus Attribute: +1 Reflexes
Guardians of the Hikaru and their holy sites, the Yoake are descended from a ronin brotherhood that accepted a longstanding contract to protect the Hikaru. As the years passed, the charges and guardians became close, some even intermarrying, and the ronin were eventually absorbed into the Clan of Sunlight. Though less pious than their Hikaru mistresses, they are still devoted to their duty, revere the Radiant Lady of the Sun, and are more than happy to help the Hikaru unleash Her terrible power on their enemies.
While the Hikaru are kissed by the sun's rays, the Yoake are hardened by it; they are typically taller and darker complexioned than the Hikaru. Their manner of dress is formal, much like the Hikaru, but plain, often only having their sunrise mon as decoration.
The Yoake tend to be physically active and possessed of energy. Though they do not shun pursuits of the mind, the Yoake do tend to leave most of that to their charges, rarely learning about more than theology. Yoake men tend to have great respect for women, and would gladly die to see them safe.

- "Terrorhurtz is a new robot to Robot Wars from the Killerhurtz team. Let's see what it's capable of."
- — Jonathan Pearce's in-game commentary
Terrorhurtz was a heavyweight robot which competed in Series 5-10 of the UK Robot Wars and the second series of Robot Wars Extreme. Its best performance came in Series 6, where it finished fourth overall; it also reached the heat final in Series 10. However, it only reached the second round of its heat in Series 5, 8 and 9, and was disqualified from Series 7 for arriving at the studio unfinished.
Built and entered by Team Hurtz, Terrorhurtz was armed with an extremely powerful double-headed pneumatic axe, which fires at over 100mph and with enough force to throw the robot over. The axe is also capable of acting as a self-righting mechanism. Terrorhurtz made its first of two video game appearances in Robot Wars: Arenas of Destruction.
Killerhurtz & TerrorhurtzEdit
It was originally planned that Terrorhurtz's predecessor, Killerhurtz, would be featured in Arenas of Destruction, due to the latter's success overseas in the US robot combat show, BattleBots. However, BattleBots owned the merchandising rights to the latter, so the developers of Arenas of Destruction decided to use Terrorhurtz, John Reid's then-latest machine, instead. As Arenas of Destruction was released before Heat L of Series 5 was broadcast, the game marked Terrorhurtz's first appearance in any piece of Robot Wars media.
Appearance and ArmamentEdit
Terrorhurtz retains most of its detail in Arenas of Destruction, most importantly its large, double-bladed axe and translucent body; however some differences are noticeable. The axe arm is longer, and the robot is overall more rounded and lower to the ground than its real life counterpart. Terrorhurtz's chassis shape in its in-game form seems to closely resemble that of Team Hurtz's later BattleBots entry Beta, and also lacks the front/rear wedge plates and side skirts found in its Series 5 incarnation. Like in real life, Terrorhurtz's axe is powerful and can be used to right itself in-game; however, it can only rest in one position, and is slower.
Using TerrorhurtzEdit
Terrorhurtz has quite destructive weaponry, and so it is capable of causing plenty of damage, although it doesn't have the best armour. It is also unflippable; however your best tactics are to hit the other robots with the axe, and also to lure them into pits and traps if the axe breaks, as Terrorhurtz has mediocre pushing power.
Against TerrorhurtzEdit
While the axe is equipped, Terrorhurtz will always be able to right itself, rendering flipping weapons impotent. Spinning weapons and other axes are far more effective, as the armour is weak. Besides from this, pushing or luring Terrorhurtz into hazards is a good idea. However, should the axe break off, it is far simpler to strand it upside down.
Differences from Real LifeEdit
- The axe is slower, and defaults in one position rather than functioning as a double-sided weapon.
- The body is lower down and more rounded, and lacks front/rear wedge plates and side skirts which the real robot had in Series 5-6 and Extreme 2.
- The axe arm is longer and its axe head is bigger.
- The Hz12 (Terahertz) decal is instead replaced with a 1012 (Terabyte).

Picked up as a 'just using up the credits' item in June's Love Me Beauty Box, I didn't have high expectations of this Green People Fruit Scrub Exfoliator I just chose on a whim, having never really seen or heard anything from the brand before.
This is a generous sized sample, at 30ml – the full size of this is 50ml, so you get a good idea as to how it will work and how long it will last you. I've been using this every other day for the past few weeks. I've been trying to move more towards natural skincare where possible, and whilst not completely natural this is made from 88% natural ingredients and isn't tested on animals. Claiming to give brighter, radiant skin – I've been thinking as I've been using it it smells slightly banana-ry, but the ingredients are Apricot, Mandarin and Bergamot.
You don't need a massive amount of the scrub to clean your face – I've put a picture below so you can see the consistency, but infact that's about double what you would actually need. The exfoliator doesn't melt or burst, so you can really work the formula around your face without needing to use too much.
The texture of this is very different to the OZ Naturals Dermafoliant that I tried recently, much more of a classic exfoliator. The exfoliating beads are small and fine, but they do a good job of making the skin feel better. I've had a few spots crop up and this has done a good job of buffing away dry skin as they've been heeling over. I would say my skin looks brighter too – but we've had a boost of good weather recently and I think that's partially down to spending more time in the sun too.
Given I've been using the Green People Fruit Scrub Exfoliator every other day for the most part, I'm almost at the end of this 30ml sample after only 3 weeks. This isn't the most affordable scrub at £12.95 for 50ml – whilst I am enjoying using it, I don't feel like I would get my money out of a full sized tube. It's been a nice thing to have for free – but I'd whizz through a full size tube in a month or just over.

In Australia there has been a controversy about a band from the 70's pinching a bit of it for their song - as it is a folk tune from way back - Wales or somewhere (the tune not the song which was written by a school teacher before I was born -) i don't think anyone has rights on it... The band is called Men at Work
and if you liked that golden oldie you might like this oldie which is all based on Australian place and animal names - you have to be Australian to get all the subtleties

The whole "Kooka" Vs "Down Under" copyright debacle was a bloody disaster, as far as original local music and songwriters is concerned.
Any muso worth his pound of flesh would tell you, even before this happened, that there was NO way it even sounded like it. I mean, seriously, four notes? Get a grip! I think we're trying to turn us into "Ligigation USA" over here. Ferk that!
In any case, the argument for ANY musical improvised solo is always an imitation - "IF" the flute solo was a distant salute to an old Aussie icon, they should be HAPPY about that, not wanting to sue people just to make more ferking MONEY! Bastards!
