A long vodka is a vodka-based cocktail, popular throughout Scotland and known to be served in some parts of England.

Origins
The long vodka is claimed to have been invented in Lancashire, England in 1978 by Jacky Bevan. Bevan was a barmaid who, instead of making a gin gimlet as requested, accidentally made the drink with vodka instead of gin. She tried this combination and found it too bitter; she added lemonade to the drink and the first iteration of the drink was created. When Bevan visited a pub in Inverkeilor, Scotland in 1981 and requested the drink, the bartender was intrigued by her drink choice and added it to his cocktail menu. It is believed that shortly afterwards the drink became known in nearby Aberdeen and Montrose, and it quickly gained popularity around Scotland. The rinse of Angostura bitters and the name 'long vodka' were added sometime after this.

Preparation
A long vodka is made by adding lemonade, or soda water, and lime cordial to 1 or 2 shots of vodka on ice. The glass can either be rinsed (and then emptied) with Angostura bitters, or 2–3 drops can be added to taste; distinguishing the drink from a vodka lime and lemonade.

The Extra Continental regiments and Additional Continental regiments of the American Revolutionary War (1775–1783) differ from each other and from all other Continental Army infantry regiments by the manner in which they formed. The six Extra Continental regiments, which were authorized by Congress and organized in late 1775 to mid-1776, are distinct by having formed without any administrative connection to an individual state.

The 16 Additional Continental regiments were approved by Congress as a separate group on December 27, 1776, specifically in response to a request from Gen. George Washington for additional troops, and Congress expressly delegated their formation directly to Washington. All Additional Continental regiments were organized in the spring and summer of 1777. In contrast to both the Extra and Additional regiments, all other infantry regiments of the army were organized and supported under the direct authority of individual state governments (the "line regiments").

Extra Continental regiments
The six Extra Continental regiments, which are commonly confused with the Additional regiments, are:

Maryland and Virginia Rifle Regiment
Warner's Regiment (Green Mountain Boys)
1st Canadian Regiment
2nd Canadian Regiment
German Battalion
DuBois' Regiment (later, the 3rd New York Regiment)

Additional Continental regiments
The 16 Additional Continental regiments formed later and under distinctly different circumstances than those of the Extra Continental regiments. The 1-year enlistments in most Continental Army regiments that formed in the earliest part of the American Revolutionary War expired on December 31, 1776. Therefore, Congress and Washington began preparations for reorganizing the army during that early fall. The reorganization was to apply to troops from every state, and a major factor in the new plan was the decision to recruit for the duration of the war rather than for a single year. Eighty-eight regiments were authorized by a Congressional resolve of September 16, 1776, in which Congress formally outlined the 13 state lines of the Continental Army by specifying the quota of regiments for each state.

Congress' estimates of the population of each state governed its allocation of regiments, ranging from 15 regiments each from Massachusetts and Virginia to single regiments from Delaware and Georgia. In correspondence to Congress during December 1776, however, Washington pressed for even more men. Central to Washington's position was a recommendation to increase the infantry regiments from the 88 called for in September to a minimum of 110. Congress acted on Washington's request on December 27, 1776, and ruled "That General Washington shall be, and he is hereby, vested with full, ample, and complete powers to raise…from…all of these United States, 16 battalions of infantry, in addition to those already voted by Congress…"

In contrast to the previously approved 88 regiments, the 16 Additional regiments were organized directly by Washington's authority, rather than by the authority of the state governments, and were placed completely under Washington's control. The resolution gave Washington the requested 110 regiments, for in addition to the 16 new regiments and the 88 units of the September quotas there were the 6 Extra regiments that had been previously approved by Congress and that were also not explicitly tied to a single state.

The 16 Additional Continental regiments are:

Cornell's Additional Continental Regiment (never formed)
Forman's Additional Continental Regiment
Gist's Additional Continental Regiment
Grayson's Additional Continental Regiment
Hartley's Additional Continental Regiment
Henley's Additional Continental Regiment
Jackson's Additional Continental Regiment
Lee's Additional Continental Regiment
Malcolm's Additional Continental Regiment
Patton's Additional Continental Regiment
Scammell's Additional Continental Regiment (never formed)
Sheppard's Additional Continental Regiment
Sherburne's Additional Continental Regiment
Spencer's Additional Continental Regiment
Thruston's Additional Continental Regiment
Webb's Additional Continental Regiment

Although Washington wrote to Col. Ezekiel Cornell of Rhode Island and Col. Alexander Scammell of New Hampshire on January 12, 1777, and offered each command of one of the 16 Additional Continental regiments, both declined, and the units never formed.

John D. Schwender was an American college football coach.  Due to significant injuries to his players during practice, the faculty of his school forced the discontinuation of the football program for one year.

Carroll College
Schwender was the fifth head football coach at Carroll College in Waukesha, Wisconsin and he held that position for two seasons, from 1899 until 1900 and then returning from 1904 until 1905. His career coaching record at Carroll College was 15–9–2.

Discontinuation of 1903
Carroll college hired Mark D. Nave as head coach after Schwender stepped down.  Due to an abundance of injuries during football practice in 1903, the school started to disband the program.  Five students were injured in a ten-day period.  The incident was deemed so severe that the school chose to forbid the game.  The decision was made after voting first by the football team and then of the students of the college.  At first, both the players and students voted to keep playing against the wishes of the faculty.  The student body eventually gave in to the faculty demands and the team was forced to disband.

The team reorganized and play picked back up for the next season in 1904 with coach Schwender taking over as head coach.

Lingappa Basavaraju (5 August 1919 – 29 January 2012), commonly known as L. Basavaraju or LB, was an Indian scholar, writer, critic and researcher in Kannada. He was the author of over 56 works and his contribution to Kannada literature spread over 40 years.

Early life and education
Basavaraju was born in Idagur a small village in Chikkaballapur district. After receiving early education in Idagur, Siddaganga and Bangalore, he moved to Mysore for higher education. He obtained B.A (Hons) (1946) and M.A. (1951) degrees in Kannada from the University of Mysore. He was awarded a D.Litt. degree from the same university for his work ‘Shivadasa Geetanjali’.  After an early stint of teaching at Davanagere and The Yuvaraja's college, Mysore, Basavaraju joined the Institute of Kannada Studies in the University of Mysore in 1967 and retired in 1979.

Literary works
Basavaraju brought many innovative ideas to the field of textual criticism. His sole aim was to bring the literary classics and scholarly treatises of Kannada within the reach of the common man un-acquainted with old Kannada. He prepared simplified prose versions of many important texts. He also experimented with splitting the poems in ancient texts in to their morphological components and then arranging them in a more communicable order, with appropriate punctuation marks. Before undertaking these innovative steps he worked diligently with old paper ones and palm leaf manuscripts   and strove to get to the original version. He was quite secular in his choice of works and chose Jaina classics such as Adipurana, Buddhist classics such as Ashvaghosha's ‘Buddhacharita’ and also works such as Toraveya Ramayana and Shabdamanidarpana.

The works edited by L.Basavaraju include:-
Basaveshvara Vachanasangraha (1952)
Allamana Vachanachandrike (1960)
Shivadasa Geethanjali (1963)
Basava Vachanamrutha (In two parts) (1964, 1970 and 1989)

‘Kannada Chandassamputa’ (1974)
(This is an edited work, containing all the four ancient Kannada works on prosody. They are ‘Chandombudhi’ by Nagavarma, ‘Kavijihvabandhana’ by Eshvara Kavi, ‘Chandassara’ by Gunachandra and ‘Chandornava’ by Veerabhadra.)
"Keshirajana Shabdamanidarpana’ (1986)

L.Basavaraju has translated a few works from Sanskrit. They are
‘Buddhacharite’ by Ashvaghosha (2000)
‘Soundarananda’ by Ashvaghosha (2000)
Bhasana ‘Bharata Rupaka’ (1958)
‘Natakamrutha Bindugalu’ (1958)

(Translation of three plays by Bhasa including ‘Pratima Nataka’)
‘Nijagunashivayogiya Tatvadarshana’ (1961)
(Prose rendering of six philosophical treatises of Nijaguna Shivayogi)

Basavaraju took to creative writing at the age of seventy five and published three collections of poems namely ‘Thanantara’, (1994) (TANAnthara) ‘Jalari’ (jAlAri) (1995) and ‘Chayibaba’ (cAyibAbA) (2005).

The Pittsburgh Triangles were a charter franchise of World Team Tennis (WTT). The Triangles won the 1975 WTT Championship. The team folded after the 1976 season.

Team history
The Triangles were founded in 1973 as a charter member of WTT by Century Features, Inc. owner Charles "Chuck" Reichblum (later popularly known as "Dr. Knowledge"), industrialist John H. Hillman III, and lawyer William "Bill" Sutton. In 1972, the three  Pittsburgh executives had previously founded the similar National Tennis League (NTL), a forerunner to WTT and Reichblum's brainchild, which was made redundant by the advent of WTT (founding members of which had been invited to join the NTL prior to formation of the competing WTT in 1973).

The team began play in WTT's inaugural 1974 season. Just prior to the start of the Triangles' initial season, on May 1, 1974, Fox Chapel insurance broker, sports promoter, and financier Frank B. Fuhrer purchased a controlling interest in the team. Fuhrer was elected the team's chairman. Reichblum remained president and general manager. Sutton remained part of the ownership group and was re-elected as the team's secretary-treasurer and general counsel.

The Triangles played their home matches at the Civic Arena in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. During their first season, the Triangles, clad in bright yellow and green uniforms, played in the WTT Eastern Division with teams from Philadelphia, Boston, New York, Baltimore, Detroit, Cleveland, and Toronto-Buffalo. WTT also had an eight-team Western Division for a total of 16 teams representing most of the major metropolitan areas in the United States. There was even a team from Hawaii called the Leis.

The Triangles folded following the 1976 season. With Pittsburgh and Philadelphia both lacking franchises, the league had considered fielding a team called the Pennsylvania Keystones in 1977, composed of players from the Soviet Union. However, with the Cleveland Nets struggling to draw fans for their home matches, owner Joseph Zingale decided to fill the WTT void in nearby Pittsburgh and have his team play approximately half of its home matches in Richfield Township, Summit County, Ohio and the other half in Pittsburgh. The team was called the Cleveland-Pittsburgh Nets. After the Nets announced they would play half their matches in Pittsburgh, the league had planned to have the Keystones play in Philadelphia. The team of Soviet players did compete in WTT in 1977, but it did not have a permanent home and played its "home" matches in several different cities. The name Pennsylvania Keystones was scrapped, and the team was officially called the Soviet National Team and informally the Soviets.

As for the Nets, they played approximately half their 1977 home matches at the Coliseum at Richfield and the other half at the Civic Arena in Pittsburgh. The Nets also played some "home" matches in Nashville, New Orleans and Hollywood, Florida.

Coaching
The Australian tennis star Ken Rosewall coached the original Pittsburgh Triangles team in 1974. Rosewall's top players were Evonne Goolagong, who had already captured her first Wimbledon singles title in 1971, and young phenom Vitas Gerulaitis. Vitas, nicknamed the Lithuanian Lion, had recently won the West Penn Open in Mt. Lebanon and would go on to win the 1975 Wimbledon men's doubles crown (with Sandy Mayer) and the 1977 Australian Open men's singles title.

Arab International Women's Forum (Arabic: منتدى العالمي للنساء العربيات ) or AIWF is a London-based umbrella organisation which brings together 1,500 associations, individuals, corporations and partnerships from 45 countries. The AIWF aims to brings equal rights to men and women in the workforce, and in society in general.

History
The Forum was founded in 2001 by Haifa Fahoum Al Kaylani, who began with the vision of putting to help Arab women become "part and parcel of the international community". She put together a formal network of Arab and international businesswomen as well as female community leaders to expand the growing role of women in the global marketplace and decision-making. Al Kaylani is also member of the Suzanne Mubarak Women's International Peace Movement and is also a member of the Women's Leadership Board at the Harvard University.

The AIWF 2005 report called Engines of economic growth in the Arab world suggested that Arab men be given paternal leave from work to look after children rather than leaving all the work to women, through role balancing.

In 2011, the AIWF launched the Young Arab Women Leaders initiative to specifically support young Arab women. The 10th edition was held in 2017 at the London Royal Academy of Engineering.

Description
One idea is that women are given educational and working opportunities meaning that they will be able to make their mark in society as a whole and as individuals. By allowing women to educate themselves and give them more access to computers, technology and university scholarships, they can achieve business, educational and governmental roles. Businesses and organisations have been able to contact and associate with people in their same position located in other countries. Arab women residing in Britain and Europe can now make business engagements with ladies in the Middle East giving them more potential for business and community work and profit.

John Edmund Fries (June 19, 1885 – January 21, 1955) was an American football player and coach.

Early life and playing career
Fries was born  Norway, Wisconsin in 1885.  Fries played right tackle at Carroll College in Waukesha, Wisconsin.  In his senior year, he was captain of the team that he played on for four years.  As a player, he witnessed his opposing team throw the first legal forward pass on September 5, 1906 in a 22–0 loss against Saint Louis.

Fries also played on the basketball team at Carroll and his brother Arthur (who students affectionately called "Nuts") played left tackle for the football team.

Coaching career
Fries was named the 11th head football coach for his alma mater and he held that position for five seasons, from 1914 until 1918 and then returning for the 1920 season.  His career coaching record at Carroll College was 11 wins, 14 losses, and 5 ties.  This ranks him 12th at Carroll College in total wins and 19th at Carroll College in winning percentage.  The school did not field a team in 1917 because of World War I.  His best season was 1914 with a 5–1 record, defeating Marquette and Lake Forest.  His teams also played Loyola of Chicago, Michigan, and Michigan State.  The Michigan Wolverines soundly beat them by a score of 54 to 0 in the 1916 season under legendary coach Fielding Yost, where Carroll only produced one first down the entire game.

While coaching, he also was the physical director and a professor of mathematics at Carroll. Fries died at a hospital in Burlington, Wisconsin in 1955. He was buried at Norway Cemetery in Norway, Wisconsin, his birthplace.

In 1986, the school honored his contribution to sports at the school by inducting him into their "Athletic Hall of Fame" for exemplary performance in competition and their contributions to athletics at Carroll.

A Burjiko (also Burjico, Burjik and Burjic) is a Somali-style cooker or charcoal burning stove. It is used to prepare a variety of foods.

Production and distribution
The burjiko is made from sepiolite mined from Somalia's central district of El Buur.

The cooking instrument itself parallels in function those found in the Western world. Due to its portability, it is widely used in the Horn of Africa and Southwestern Asia; especially by nomads.

Description and usage
The burjiko is circular in shape, with a deep hole running through its center where charcoal is placed. This hole is covered with different types of dishes, depending on what one wants to cook. For example, when making canjeero (Somali flatbread), one uses a flat surfaced dish. A deep dish, however, is preferable when cooking sauce.

Besides canjeero and sauce, burjikos are also often used to prepare pasta and meat dishes such as leg of lamb.

Phillip Norris "Army" Armstrong (September 15, 1898 – October 11, 1981) was an American football player and coach. He played college football at Centre College in Danville, Kentucky from 1918 to 1919 and professionally for one season, in 1922, with the Milwaukee Badgers of the National Football League (NFL). Armstong served as the head football coach at Carroll College—now known as Carroll University—Waukesha, Wisconsin from 1923 to 1930, compiling a record of 44–11–6.

Playing career

Centre

Norris played tackle and halfback for Centre College in Danville, Kentucky and was a key offensive player  during the 1921 Centre vs. Harvard football game, and was captain of the team that year.  He was also a player on the school's basketball team.  Centre College honored his contribution to the school's athletic program by inducting him into the college's Athletic Hall of Fame. He was a halfback on Centre's all-time football team chosen in 1935.

Milwaukee Badgers
After graduation from Centre, Norris played professionally for the 1922 season as a tackle for the Milwaukee Badgers of the National Football League (NFL) alongside his college teammate Bo McMillin.

Coaching career

Centenary
Armstrong's first coaching position was in 1922 at Centenary College of Louisiana.  Here he was assistant to his college teammate (and future professional teammate) Bo McMillin where they produced an impressive record of eight wins and one loss while outscoring opponents 295 to 41.

Carroll

After completing one year as an assistant coach, Armstrong was named the 15th head football at Carroll College—now known as Carroll University—in Waukesha, Wisconsin and he held that position for eight seasons, from 1923 until 1930. His career coaching record at Carroll College was 44–11–6.

Armstrong oversaw one of the most successful periods of the football team at the college.  The university honored his contributions by inducting him into the school's "Hall of Fame" in 1973.

Key games for Carroll under Armstrong included the 1925 victory over Great Lakes Naval by a score of 73–0, and an undefeated 1925 season. The program never had anything but winning seasons under Armstrong, with the worst record being 4–3 in 1929; the worst loss that year was a 46–0 defeat by the Iowa Hawkeyes.

After retiring from coaching, Armstrong remain with Carroll College to become athletic director and later a trustee of the college.

John W. Breen (May 9, 1907 – February 9, 1984) was an American football and basketball player, coach, and executive.  He was active in the college ranks before becoming an administrator in the American Football League for the Houston Oilers.

Playing career
Breen grew up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and played high school football at Milwaukee East Division High School.  He then went on to Carroll College in Waukesha, Wisconsin where he was named "most valuable player" and team captain in both football and basketball.

Coaching career

Carroll
After graduation from Carroll in 1935, Breen began coaching freshman teams and teaching classes  Breen was the 19th head football coach, serving held that for 11 seasons, from 1938 until 1948.

Lake Forest
In 1949, Breen became the head coach at Lake Forest College in Lake Forest, Illinois and held the position for three seasons, through 1951.  During his tenure as head coach, he accumulated a record of 9–13–2.  While at Lake Forest he received nationwide publicity for defending the interests of small college athletics.  In 1974, Lake Forest inducted him into their athletic "Hall of Fame" for his contribution to the football and basketball programs at the school.

Professional sports
After a successful college career as an educator and coach, Breen went into the professional ranks with the Chicago Cardinals of the National Football League (NFL) as director of player personnel in 1957.  He was later the first person hired by the Houston Oilers in 1960 as director of player personnel and was named general manager in 1971 and he held that position until his retirement in 1973.

Breen was instrumental in the building of the Oilers and the American Football League (AFL) itself by being in charge of the league's first draft of players.  He is credited with recruiting veteran players George Blanda, John Carson, and Willard Dewveall along with first-year players Billy Cannon, Dan Lanphear, and Charley Hennigan.  He recognized that the competing NFL teams would cut good quality players, and he recruited them to play at Houston.

After his retirement from professional football management, Breen worked as a sports broadcaster for radio station KTRH in Houston, Texas.

Francis J. "Mickey" McCormick (1903 – August 13, 1958) was an American football and basketball player and coach.  He served as the head football coach at St. Norbert College from 1934 to 1942 and at Carroll College—now known as Carroll University—in Waukesha, Wisconsin from 1949 to 1957, compiling a career college football record of 69–57–9.  McCormick was also the head basketball coach at St. Norbert from 1934 to 1943 and again during the 1944–45 season, tallying a mark of 62–74.  He was one of the more outspoken coaches against the NCAA rule change on "free substitution" in 1953.

Early life
McCormick was a 1929 graduate of Antigo High School< in his hometown of Antigo, Wisconsin.ref>1929 Antigo High School Graduates</ref>

Playing career

Marquette
McCormick played college football and was a forward on the basketball team at Marquette University.  The football teams won a victory over Navy by a score of 21–3 in 1924 and completed a 7–2 record in 1925 under College Football Hall of Fame head coach Frank Murray.

Duluth Eskimos
After graduation at Marquette, McCormic went on to be a member of the Duluth Eskimos in the National Football League (NFL).

Coaching career

St. Norbert
McCormick coached at St. Norbert College in De Pere, Wisconsin starting with the 1934 season until the conclusion of the 1942 season.  His record with the Green Knights was a total of 32–26–8 and included a 7–1 season in 1936.  Also at St. Norbert, McCormick was the head basketball coach.

Carroll
McCormick the 20th head football coach at Carroll College, serving for nine seasons, from 1949 to 1957. (now called "Carroll University") located in Waukesha, Wisconsin His record at Carroll College was 37–31–1. Carroll was his last coaching position as he died in August 1958 before the season began, but the school later inducted him into their "Athletic Hall of Fame" for his contributions to the school and athletic programs. Highlights of his coaching at Carroll included a strong offense in the 1951 season.

McCormick began the 1949 season with twenty eager players that were considered "strong on talent but weak on depth" with team drills beginning in early September 1949. He felt that his most talented team was 1955, a team he called the best Carroll had in ten years. McCormick was selected to coach the "South" team for the 1951 Upper Peninsula All-Star Football exhibition game.

Free substitution
In 1953, McCormick was outspoken among the small-college football coaches against the idea of free substitution in college football.  Becoming more common in professional football, the idea paved the way of the "specialist athlete" in college football where one person could focus on one position such as quarterback or punter.  For large colleges and professional teams, the idea of free substitution worked well.  McCormick pointed out that smaller colleges would suffer under this rule.  Free substitution generally prevented a player from returning to gameplay in the same quarter after he was taken out for a substitute and it required either a very large squad that could handle all the substitutions or a highly talented small squad that would not need to substitute.

Death
McCormick died on August 13, 1958, at St. Joseph's Hospital in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Geriatric oncology is a branch of medicine that is concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of cancer in the elderly, usually defined as aged 65 and older.  This fairly young but increasingly important subspecialty incorporates the special needs of the elderly into the treatment of cancer.

In the last few years, this particular subspecialty has received a lot of attention.  A large proportion of the population of developed countries are aging.  In the United States, 20% of the population will be older than 65 years of age by the year 2030.  Those 85 years and older will be the most rapidly growing group.  This is compounded by the fact that the majority of cancer patients will be in this age group.  Age in itself is one of the most important risk factors for developing cancer.  Currently, 60% of newly diagnosed malignant tumors and 70% of cancer deaths occur in people aged 65 years or older.  Many cancers are linked to aging; these include breast, colorectal, prostate, pancreatic, lung, bladder and stomach cancers.

Because most non-pediatric cancer patients are older, there is a saying that all oncologists who are not pediatric oncologists are geriatric oncologists.

Unique concerns of older cancer patients
For many reasons, older adults with cancer have different needs than younger adults with the disease. For example, older adults:
 May be less able to tolerate certain cancer treatments.
 Have a decreased reserve (the capacity to respond to disease and treatment).
 May have other medical problems in addition to cancer.
 May have functional problems, such as the ability to do basic activities (dressing, bathing, eating) or more advanced activities (such as using transportation, going shopping or handling finances).
 May not always have access to transportation, social support or financial resources.
 May have different views of quality versus quantity of life

Clinical trials usually exclude the elderly, and therefore, guidelines for treatment of cancer were mainly based on the younger population. A lot of research in this area is needed.

Just as a child would see a pediatrician for medical care, an older patient should go to a geriatrician. An older patient with cancer will benefit from the expertise of a geriatric oncologist. Older patients have unique needs because of their often complex medical histories, numerous drugs they are taking, their social situations, possible problems with cognitive dysfunction related to age, and general diminution of organ function that occurs naturally in the older population. For these reasons, it is important that older patients (especially if frail, or have multiple medical problems) being considered for cancer treatment should undergo comprehensive geriatric assessment, to take all these factors into account.

Origins
Rosemary Yancik first organized a symposium on geriatric oncology sponsored by the National Cancer Institute and the National Institute on Aging. A 1988 ASCO Presidential Address published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology by Dr. B.J. Kennedy encouraged the study of aging and cancer.

The American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) has played a vital role in promoting the field of geriatric oncology in the United States. B.J. Kennedy, MD was one of the fathers of this field.  In the late 1980s, the ASCO Annual Meetings started including educational sessions and presentations pertaining to this field.  The Journal of Clinical Oncology started publishing more articles pertaining to geriatric oncology.  ASCO has also funded training for oncology fellows.

One of a handful of people around the world who created the field of geriatric oncology during the 1980s was Lodovico Balducci. He was co-editor of the first major medial textbook on the subject, Geriatric Oncology, published in 1982, and has been honored with the B.J. Kennedy Award for Scientific Excellence in Geriatric Oncology from the American Society of Clinical Oncology.

Training and education programs
Training programs specifically in the geriatric oncology subspeciality have been established.  In the United States, the ASCO Geriatric Oncology Fellowship program was developed with funding from the John A. Hartford Foundation. The American Board of Internal Medicine approved a 3-year combined fellowship training program in medical oncology and geriatrics.  Graduates of this program will be eligible to be board certified in both specialties.  Some fellows opt to also obtain additional training and certification in hematology as well.  10 institutions were identified and a curriculum was designed and instituted.

An example of a geriatric oncology fellowship training curriculum can be found here.

Internationally, a diploma in geriatric oncology has now been established in France.

The first textbook in the field, Geriatric Oncology, was published by Lodovico Balducci et al.  There are now many others.

Assessment
Typically, new patients meet with either a geriatric oncologist (or sometimes a medical oncologist and geriatrician separately), a psychosocial professional, and a nutritionist, all of whom work together to provide a comprehensive geriatric assessment of the patient's fitness to withstand the therapy necessary to treat his or her cancer. A number of validated screening tools are recommended have been identified to aid this process. Following the initial assessment, the team meets to evaluate the patient's fitness for therapy. The team's decisions and recommendations are then presented to the patient and his or her family as well as to the patient's primary physician when appropriate. After these discussions, and ideally with shared decision-making, treatment for the patient's cancer is decided on and initiated.

Organization and societies
The Geriatric Oncology Consortium is a non-profit organization dedicated to addressing the age based disparities in research, education and treatment in the older adult cancer population. It is leader in developing and conducting research in older adults and  providing older adult cancer education to medical professionals, patients, caregivers and the general public.

The American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) has started a geriatric oncology subspeciality. A webpage dedicated to article and resources about geriatric oncology is available.

The World oncology network has established a directory for geriatric oncology to promote this subspeciality.

The International Society of Geriatric Oncology or Société Internationale d'Oncologie Gériatrique in French, hence the acronym SIOG, was founded in 2000 and was officially registered as a Not-for-profit organisation under the Swiss law in October 2012. SIOG is a multidisciplinary society, including physicians in the fields of oncology and geriatrics, and allied health professionals and has over 1000 members in more than 40 countries around the world.
The major risk factor for cancer is age, and with the aging of the world population, a major epidemiologic challenge is before us.

The goal of SIOG is to foster the development of health professionals in the field of geriatric oncology, in order to optimize treatment of older adults with cancer.
SIOG promotes efforts in 3 strategic directions:

1. Education
 Disseminate knowledge in order to maintain a high common standard of healthcare in older cancer patients
 Integrate geriatric oncology in the curricula for medical and nursing education to ensure a high standard of qualification for healthcare professionals
 Address the shortage of specialist oncologists/geriatricians & allied health staff in geriatric oncology
 Increase public awareness of the worldwide cancer in the elderly epidemic
2. Clinical practice
 Integrate geriatric evaluation (including co morbidities) into oncology decision-making and guidelines
 Improve the quality of prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of older patients with malignancies
 Address issues of access to care, including the needs of the caregiver
 Develop interdisciplinary geriatric oncology clinics
3. Research
 Develop, test and disseminate easy screening tools
 Create a clear and operational definition of vulnerability/frailty applicable to oncology
 Increase the relevance of clinical trials for older patients
 Improve research in the field of geriatric oncology
 Promote multidisciplinary, basic/translational research on the interface of aging and cancer

Voltage-sensitive dyes, also known as potentiometric dyes, are dyes which change their spectral properties in response to voltage changes. They are able to provide linear measurements of firing activity of single neurons, large neuronal populations or activity of myocytes. Many physiological processes are accompanied by changes in cell membrane potential which can be detected with voltage sensitive dyes. Measurements may indicate the site of action potential origin, and measurements of action potential velocity and direction may be obtained.

Potentiometric dyes are used to monitor the electrical activity inside cell organelles where it is not possible to insert an electrode, such as the mitochondria and dendritic spine. This technology is especially powerful for the study of patterns of activity in complex multicellular preparations. It also makes possible the measurement of spatial and temporal  variations in membrane potential along the surface of single cells.

Types of dyes

Fast-response probes:  These are amphiphilic membrane staining dyes which usually have a pair of hydrocarbon chains acting as membrane anchors and a hydrophilic group which aligns the chromophore perpendicular to the membrane/aqueous interface. The chromophore is believed to undergo a large electronic charge shift as a result of excitation from the ground to the excited state and this underlies the putative electrochromic mechanism for the sensitivity of these dyes to membrane potential. This molecule (dye) intercalates among the lipophilic part of biological membranes. This orientation assures that the excitation induced charge redistribution will occur parallel to the electric field within the membrane. A change in the voltage across the membrane will therefore cause a spectral shift resulting from a direct interaction between the field and the ground and excited state dipole moments.

New voltage dyes can sense voltage with high speed and sensitivity using photoinduced electron transfer (PeT) through a conjugated molecular wire.

Slow-response probes: These exhibit potential-dependent changes in their transmembrane distribution which are accompanied by a fluorescence change. Typical slow-response probes include cationic carbocyanines and rhodamines, and ionic oxonols.

Examples
Commonly used voltage sensitive dyes are substituted aminonaphthylethenylpyridinium (ANEP) dyes, such as di-4-ANEPPS, di-8-ANEPPS, and RH237. Depending on their chemical modifications which change their physical properties they are used for different experimental procedures. They were first described in 1985 by the research group of Leslie Loew. ANNINE-6plus is a voltage sensitive dye with fast response (ns response time) and high sensitivity. It has been applied to measure the action potentials of a single t-tubule of cardiomyocytes by Guixue Bu et al.  More recently, a series of fluorinated ANEP dyes was introduced that offer enhanced sensitivity and photostability; they are also available over a wide choice of excitation and emission wavelengths.  A recent computational study confirmed that the ANEP dyes are affected only by the electrostatic environment and not by specific molecular interactions. Other structural scaffolds, such as xanthenes, are also successfully used.

Materials
The core material for imaging brain activity with voltage-sensitive dyes are the dyes themselves. These voltage-sensitive dyes are lipophilic and preferably localized in membranes with their hydrophobic tails. They are used in applications involving fluorescence or absorption; they are fast acting and are able to provide linear measurements of changes in membrane potential. Voltage sensitive dyes are supplied by many companies who offer fluorescent probes for biological applications. Potentiometric Probes, LLC specializes only in voltage sensitive dyes; they have an exclusive license to distribute the large set of fluorinated VSDs, marketed under the ElectroFluor brand.

A variety of specialized equipment may be used in conjunction with the dyes, and choices in equipment will vary according to the particularities of a preparation. Essentially, equipment will include specialized microscopes and imaging devices, and may include technical lamps or lasers.

Strengths and weaknesses
Strengths of imaging brain activity with voltage-sensitive dyes include the following abilities:
 Measurement of population signals from many areas may be taken simultaneously, and hundreds of neurons may be recorded from. Such multisite recordings may provide precise information on action potential initiation and propagation (including direction and velocity), and on the entire branching structure of a neuron.
 Measurements of spike activity in a ganglion that is producing behaviour can be taken and may provide information about how the behaviour is producing.
 In certain preparations the pharmacological effects of the dyes may be completely reversed by removing the staining pipette and allowing the neuron 1–2 hours for recovery.
 Dyes may be used to analyze signal integration in terminal dendritic branches. Voltage-sensitive dyes offer the only alternative to genetically encoded voltage sensitive proteins (such as Ci-VSP derived proteins) for doing this.
 More soluble dyes such as  ElectroFluor-530s, or di-2-ANEPEQ may perfused internally into single cell through a patch pipet. This technique has permitted the study of electrical signals in individual dendrites and dendritic spines within brain slices.

Weaknesses of imaging brain activity with voltage-sensitive dyes include the following problems:
 Voltage-sensitive dyes may respond very differently from one preparation to another; typically tens of dyes must be tested in order to obtain an optimal signal., imaging parameters, such as excitation wavelength, emission wavelength, exposure time, should also be optimized.
 Voltage-sensitive dyes often fail to penetrate through connective tissue or move through intracellular spaces to the region of membrane desired for study. Staining is a serious issue in applications of these dyes. Water-soluble dyes, such as ANNINE-6plus, ElectroFluor-530s, or di-2-ANEPEQ, do not suffer this problem.
 On the other hand, if the dyes are too water-soluble, staining may not persist. This can be addressed by utilizing dyes containing longer alkyl chains to increase lipophilicity.
 Noise is a problem in all preparations with voltage-sensitive dyes and in certain preparations the signal may be significantly obscured. Signal to noise ratios can be improved with spatial filtering or temporal filtering algorithms.  Many such algorithms exist; one signal processing algorithm can be found in recent work with the ANNINE-6plus dye.
 Cells may be permanently affected by treatments. Lasting pharmacological effects are possible, and the photodynamics of the dyes can be damaging. Recently developed fuorinated voltages sensitive dyes have been shown to mitigate these effects.

Uses
Voltage-sensitive dyes have been used to measure neural activity in several areas of the nervous system in a variety of organisms, including the squid giant axon, whisker barrels of the rat somatosensory cortex, olfactory bulb of the salamander, visual cortex of the cat, optic tectum of the frog, and the visual cortex of the rhesus monkey.

Many applications in cardiac electrophysiology have been published, including ex vivo mapping of electrical activity in whole hearts from various animal species, subcellular imaging from single cardiomyocytes, and even mapping both sinus rhythms and arrhytmias in open heart in vivo pig, where motion artifacts could be eliminated by dual wavelength ratio imaging of the voltage sensitive dye fluorescence.

Mark W. Williams (May 31, 1925 – October 25, 2013) was a United States infantryman who fought in Belgium and Holland. He was wounded twice and spent time in London hospitals. In the occupation forces, he played football in a number of Germany's stadia. After a successful business career, he reentered sports to be an American football coach at the college level, and was later an associate professor of Business Administration at Carroll University.

Williams played college football at Hobart College in Geneva, New York.  He also was able to complete two separate tryouts for the upstart "old" Baltimore Colts but did not make the professional team. He coached kids' football teams in Glen Ellyn, Illinois and eventually became a defensive line coach for the Joliet Chargers. Williams graduated from Hobart in 1949 and then went on to study sociology at New York University until 1951 and later completed a Masters of Business Administration from the University of Wisconsin–Madison.

College coaching career
After leaving a successful career in business  Williams took a significant pay cut with a major change in personal lifestyle to become a collegiate head football coach, making nationwide headlines.

Williams became the 25th head football coach at Carroll College (now called Carroll University) in Waukesha, Wisconsin and he held that position for four seasons, from 1978 until 1981.  His career coaching record at Carroll College was 12–24.  This ranks him tenth at Carroll College in total wins and 20th at Carroll College in winning percentage.

"Do Ya"/"Stay with Me" is McFly's third single taken from the album Radio:Active and was the official Children in Need single for 2008. It was released for download on 23 November 2008 and physically on 24 November 2008. "Stay with Me" is a cover of a song by The Faces, and was the main Children in Need single. McFly performed both tracks live on Children in Need 2008 on 14 November 2008. "Do Ya" appears on the international soundtrack to the Brazilian telenovela, Três Irmãs.

Chart performance
On 30 November 2008, the single debuted on the UK Singles Chart at number 18 after both physical and digital releases of the song was made available. This marked the first time McFly had ever missed the UK top 10. Previously, their lowest-charting single had been "Ultraviolet/The Ballad of Paul K", which peaked at number nine, their first not to reach the top five. The single stayed in the UK top 100 for only two weeks. It was also the lowest-charting Children In Need charity single since "Perfect Day" topped the chart in 1997, until the 2011 cover of "Teardrop" peaked lower at number 24.

Music video
The video for "Do Ya" is approximately four minutes long, and was released via their YouTube account and their Myspace page. The video begins in a house, where people gather for Christmas, and start opening their presents, which had a McFly member in it. As soon as the band comes out of the boxes, they begin to play the song. More guests arrive, and soon, Zombies arrive at the house. McFly were scared out at the end of the song, and exited via their van and off to the moon.

The video for "Do Ya", along with the Christmas Radio:ACTIVE album advert that was recorded at the same time, were controversially refused airplay for being 'too scary' and for the fear of being copied by young viewers (when the McFly members were inside Christmas presents). Eventually, though, it earned airplay on TMF Most Wanted.

1999: EFF and Anonymizer launch the Kosovo Privacy Project, an anonymous and secure email and Web surfing service conceived by Alex Fowler and Patrick Ball to ensure the protection of Kosovars, Serbs, and others reporting on the Kosovo War within the region from reprisal from Serbian officials.

2001–2004
2001: Felten v. RIAA. EFF supports Edward Felten in suing RIAA after Secure Digital Music Initiative (SDMI), RIAA, and Verance Corporation threaten Felten with legal action under the terms of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) over Felten's plan to present a paper about methods for defeating the SDMI watermarks. The case is dismissed.
April 2002: EFF supports the Chilling Effects Clearinghouse effort to organize a database of IP law abuse and educate potential victims.
 November 2002: Universal v. Reimerdes ("2600 magazine case"). EFF loses its appeal before the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, establishing a legal precedent to permit prior restraint. 2600 magazine is restrained from publishing links to the Second Circuit code under provisions of the DMCA and declines to appeal to the Supreme Court.
December 2003: RIAA v. Verizon, D.C. Cir. EFF supports Verizon Communications in a successful challenge to a lower court ruling holding that the company must reveal the identity of a Verizon customer accused of copyright infringement using the peer-to-peer file-sharing software Kazaa. The DC Circuit Court of Appeals agrees with Verizon and EFF that the special subpoena provisions in the DMCA apply to potentially infringing material stored on an ISP server, not material stored on an individual's own computer.
2004: DirecTV v. Treworgy, 11th Circuit.  EFF helps defend "smart card" technology owner Mike Treworgy after DirecTV sued him based on the fact that he purchased hardware that could be used to intercept the company's satellite TV signals. Treworgy prevails in the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, which finds that DirecTV cannot sue individuals for "mere possession" of smart-card technology. In separate negotiations with DirecTV, EFF succeeds in getting the company to drop its "guilt-by-purchase" litigation strategy altogether.

May 2004: Doe v. Ashcroft. EFF files amicus supporting ACLU's challenge to the constitutionality of 18 U.S.C. § 2709, which authorizes the FBI to compel the production of subscriber and communications records in the possession of a broad  range of ISPs, potentially covering billions of records from tens of thousands of entities. These demands, known as National Security Letters, were issued without judicial oversight of any kind, yet allowed the FBI to obtain a vast amount of constitutionally protected information. In September 2004, Judge Victor Marrero of the Southern District of New York issues a landmark decision striking down the NSL statute and the associated gag provision.
August 2004: Chamberlain v. Skylink. EFF helps defend Skylink in the Federal Circuit that puts limits on the controversial "anti-circumvention" provision of the DMCA. Chamberlain, the manufacturer of garage doors, invoked the provision to stop Skylink from selling a "universal" remote control that works with Chamberlain garage doors. The court rejected Chamberlain's claims, noting that if it adopted the company's interpretation of the DMCA, it would threaten many legitimate uses of software within electronic and computer products — something the law aims to protect.
August 19, 2004: MGM v. Grokster. EFF prevails before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals with a decision affirming the "Betamax doctrine" — the rule following the Supreme Court's 1984 holding that a company that creates a technology cannot be held liable for copyright violations by users if the technology has substantial legal uses. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals rules that neither were liable for infringements by people using their software to distribute copyrighted works. However, on June 27, 2005 U.S. Supreme Court reverses, finding the defendants liable for copyright infringement, though the Court preserved the Betamax doctrine. Co-defendant Grokster eventually settles with MGM and disbands the company.
October 6, 2004: EFF submits a brief in cooperation with eight other public interest organizations, challenging the FCC's authority to impose the broadcast flag mandate, which was to go into effect during July 2005.
October 15, 2004: EFF successfully represents the non-profit ISP Online Policy Group (OPG) and two Swarthmore College students who published major security flaws in Diebold Election Systems (now Premier Election Solutions) voting machines. From the press release: "Diebold is the first company to be held liable for violating section 512(f) of the DMCA, which makes it unlawful to use DMCA takedown threats when the copyright holder knows that infringement has not actually occurred."
2004: JibJab Media v. Ludlow Music, N.D. Cal. EFF successfully defends JibJab, the creators of a parody flash animation piece using Woody Guthrie's "This Land Is Your Land", and uncovered evidence that the classic folk song is in fact already part of the public domain.
November 2004: EFF files brief opposing the FCC's proposal to expand CALEA to broadband Internet access providers and VoIP systems.
December 2004: EFF starts promoting and supporting Tor, a second generation Onion Routing network that allows people to communicate anonymously.

2005–present
June 2005: EFF issues a Legal Guide for Bloggers, designed to be a basic roadmap to the legal issues one may confront as a blogger, to let bloggers know their rights.
October 2005: EFF investigates and documents how the Xerox DocuColor printer's serial number, as well as the date and time of the printout, are encoded in a repeating 15 by 8 dot pattern in the yellow channel on printed pages. EFF is working to reverse engineer additional printers. (see Printer steganography)
 November 2005: EFF files suit against Sony BMG — along with two leading national class action law firms — demanding that the company repair the damage done by Fortium Technologies (then First 4 Internet)'s XCP and SunnComm MediaMax CD-3 software it included on over 24 million music CDs (see 2005 Sony BMG CD copy prevention scandal).
 January 2006: Hepting v. AT&T. EFF files a class action lawsuit against AT&T alleging that AT&T allowed the NSA to potentially tap the entirety of its clients' Internet and Voice over IP communications.
 August 2006: EFF files a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission, accusing AOL of violating the Federal Trade Commission Act and asking for the FTC to take action. EFF alleges that AOL has engaged in deceptive and unfair trade practices with the disclosure of 20 million search queries of 650,000 anonymized users, intended for research purposes (see AOL for details). AOL is failing to "implement reasonable and appropriate measures to protect personal consumer information from public disclosure." Beyond that, AOL's failure to "employ proper security measures ... to protect personal consumer information from public disclosure" constitutes an unfair trade practice.
 November 2006: EFF files a lawsuit, on behalf of blogger Jeffrey Diehl, against Michael Crook, a webmaster Diehl claimed filed false DMCA claims against his and other websites. The case is settled in early 2007.
 October 2007: The United States Patent and Trademark Office accepted the EFF's request for the reexamination of NeoMedia's patent #6,199,048 that is alleged to threaten mobile information access.

Electrovamp are a Welsh electropop duo, consisting of sisters Tammy-Jay and Kally Davies (the younger), who were signed to Island Records. They were originally called Kute and supported Girls Aloud on their What Will the Neighbours Say? Live tour consisting of 25 dates in the UK. They have released four singles to date, their debut single, "I Don't Like the Vibe in the VIP", released on 31 December 2007, followed by "Drinks Taste Better When They're Free", which was released on 13 October 2008 and appears on the soundtrack to the 2008 comedy film How to Lose Friends & Alienate People (which also includes another song by them, titled "I Love What You Do"). Electrovamp were nominated for Best New Artist at the TRL Awards 2008 in Italy.

They are now working on music independently, parting ways with their producers because of creative differences. The group have also recorded the song "Playing Hardball", a duet with American pop singer Adam Tyler.

In April 2012 their song "Electroqueer" was included on the compilation This Beat Is... POPTRONIK – Volume One.
In May 2012 they released their third official single "Hands Up", which was later reissued as a duet with YouTube celebrity Keenan Cahill. Their latest single, "Instinctual", was released in March 2014.
