Andy was born and brought up in Ruislip, West London. He grew up wanting to be a painter/graphic artist and eventually studied visual arts at Lancaster University. Being so close to the Lake District, it just so happened that it also enabled him to follow his other passion in life, mountaineering!
Whilst at university, he became heavily involved in the theatre studies department, which had a broad-based approach including design, lighting, staging, as well as history and acting theory. After performing in a production of Barrie Keefe's play Gotcha, Andy decided that he wanted to become an actor. In 1985 he began working at the Dukes playhouse, Lancaster, where he started to learn his craft. Under the direction of Jonathan Petherbridge, he performed in fourteen plays on the trot, playing a wide variety of characters in plays including Volpone, The Good Person of Szechwan, and A Midsummer Night's Dream.
After that, Andy joined a number of touring companies, including Paines Plough and Hull Truck (Bouncers), then joined David Freeman's company at the Lyric, Hammersmith, working on Freeeman's epic production of Faust. In 1989 Andy began his long association with the Royal Exchange Theatre, Manchester, in Braham Murray's production of Macbeth. He would return many times to appear in plays such as She Stoops to Conquer, Your Home in the West, and Unidentified Human Remains and the True Nature of Love. He played the emcee in Cabaret at the Sheffield Crucible, Macheath in The Threepenny Opera for the Bubble Theatre, Jerry (the Jack Lemmon role) in the musical version of Some Like It Hot at the West Yorkshire Playhouse. He was awarded the Manchester Evening News Best Actor award for his performance in Steven Berkoff's two hander, Decadence.
In the '90s Andy began to make his mark on the London Stage, particularly at the Royal Court Theatre, receiving critical success for his roles as Dogboy in Hush , The fool in Max Stafford Clark's production of King Lear, and as Potts in the original production of Jez Butterwoth's hit play Mojo.
At the same time his career in film and television began to gain momentum. On television, his first breakthrough role was Tom in the hit geordie gangster series Finney. Over the following years he played a wide range of roles in many TV dramas, including Grushko, The Jump, The Arabian Nights, Touching Evil, Shooting the Past, and was recently highly acclaimed for his performance as Bill Sykes in Alan Bleasedale's adaptation of the Dickens classic, Oliver Twist. On film, Andy began to make a name for himself in movies like Mike Leigh's Career Girls, The screen adaptation of Mojo, Among Giants and Stella Does Tricks.
He returned to the stage in 1997 to play Phil in the British premiere of David Rabe's hit play Hurlyburly for Peter Hall's company at The Old Vic. It was a great success and transferred to the West End (Queen's Theatre).
Over the next few years Andy concentrated on film work, spending the best part of one year creating the character of John Dauban, Gilbert and Sullivan's choreographer in Mike Leigh's Topsy Turvy. Other roles included Jacobin revolutionary John Thelwall, in Julien Temple's film Pandaemonium , and as Mel, Michael Caine's minder in Shiner directed by John Irvine.
In 1999, Andy was offered the prize role of Gollum in Peter Jackson's epic film trilogy version of J.R.R. Tolkien's saga The Lord of the Rings -- Although the principal photography for all three films took place over 18 months, Andy spent much of 2002 in post-production due to the complex technical nature of bringing Gollum to the screen in The Two Towers, and will repeat this process in 2003 for The Return of The King. The role has been one of the most psychologically complex/physically demanding/technically challenging roles to date. In between trips to New Zealand, Andy played Factory Records producer Martin Hannett, in Michael Winterbottom's Madchester film 24 Hour Party People, and Private Quinn in Michael Bassett's debut feature, World War I horror film Deathwatch. He has also returned to the stage twice -- as Jake in Sam Shepard's play A Lie of the Mind directed by Wilson Milam at the Donmar warehouse, and most recently to play Iago in Braham Murray's production of Othello at the Royal Exchange Theatre, Manchester.
Andy has always continued to paint, and is pursuing his goal to work on the other side of the camera -- in September 2001 he wrote and directed his debut short film Snake. He is currently involved in developing several feature film projects with his co-producer Paul Viragh.
Andy lives in North London with his wife, actress Lorraine Ashbourne and their two young children Ruby and Sonny.

Larry Johnson (born December 17, 1950, in Corpus Christi, Texas) is an American  futurist, author, and educator.  Currently, Johnson serves as the Founder and CEO of EdFutures.org, an international think tank, and as a Senior Fellow of the Center for Digital Education.  From 2001-2016, he served as Chief Executive Officer of the New Media Consortium an international consortium of hundreds of universities, colleges,  museums, research centers, and technology companies.

Contributions
The annual Horizon Report was the most visible component of the Horizon Project, which Johnson founded and led from its inception in 2002 until 2016.  The report was one of the leading tools used by senior executives in universities and museums to set priorities for technology planning in those years in more than 160 countries.

He served for nearly 15 years as Chief Executive Officer of the NMC  and provided leadership in the areas of strategic planning; program development; fundraising; partnerships with business and industry; the development and management of fiscal and human resources; and policy.  Under Johnson's tenure, the New Media Consortium (NMC) grew to be an international not-for-profit consortium of learning-focused organizations dedicated to the exploration and use of new media and new technologies. Its hundreds of member institutions still constitute an elite list of the most highly regarded colleges and universities in the world, as well as leading museums, key research centers, and some of the world's most forward-thinking companies.  Under his leadership, the consortium and its members dedicated themselves to exploring and developing potential applications of emerging technologies for learning, research, and creative inquiry.  The consortium's Horizon Reports, which Johnson founded and directed for more than a decade, are still regarded worldwide as the most timely and authoritative sources of information on new and emerging technologies available to education anywhere.

Johnson has organized summits and large-scale projects around topics such as Visual literacy, learning objects, educational gaming,  the future of scholarship, and the 3D web.

In April 2008, Johnson presented testimony to the House Subcommittee on Telecommunications and the Internet on the nature and state of virtual worlds.

An author of several books, numerous chapters, dozens of articles, and principal investigator for several important national and international studies, he has been recognized for his research by the American Association of Community Colleges and the American Association of University Administrators.

Background
In 2016, Johnson marked 35 years of service in higher education, and currently serves as the Founder and CEO of EdFutures.org, an international think tank, and as a Senior Fellow of the Center for Digital Education. From 2001-2016, he served as CEO of the New Media Consortium. He served previously as president and CEO of Fox Valley Technical College, a community college serving more than 20,000 FTE in Appleton, Wisconsin.  His experiential base includes service at both very large and very small institutions and positions at every level and across all the major areas of college and university work.

Between 1993 and 1996, he served as vice president for the League for Innovation in the Community College, working at the national level to take the story of community colleges to governmental, foundation, and corporate leaders across the country.  As director of the League's Information Technology Initiative, he coordinated what was at the time the world's largest higher education technology conference, The International Conference of Information Technology.

He has served on a number of boards, including his current role on the governing board of the Institute for Learning Innovation and the Leadership Advisory Board of the Center for Learning Innovation and Customized Knowledge Solutions in Dubai. Previously he served as an advisor to the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), on the NMC Board of Directors, the Adobe Systems Higher Education Advisory Board, the Advanced Defense Learning Initiative National Advisory Board, the virtual International Spaceflight Museum, and the Academic Commons Board of Directors.

What an awesome product. I however don't have bed bugs, I have a carpet beetle problem. These nasty bugs eat your clothes and furniture and I have tried everything to get rid of them, but you only need one to survive and clothes are ruined again. I've tried to look, but I'm not sure there is much scientific research on what temperature kills all stages successfully. Do you know if the oven will kill carpet beetle, adult, larvae and eggs? Do you know if this has been tested or can you test this? I think it would be great if you could certify this product as able to kill carpet beetle as they are just as much of a pest as bed bugs and it would help so many people!
The ZappBug line of products gets above 120F and depending on the size of the load you are putting in it (smaller loads get hotter) usually reaches about 140F. We've had customers in the past who have bought this to use on carpet beetles successfully. My recommendation would be to treat your belongings for at least 2 hours after reaching 120F for best results.


Here's the rest of the post that Gardner deemed too mushy for the front page of a so-called FOOD blog.
Gardner was… a cute kid.
Gardner has always been…a great brother, son and grandson.
Gardner is…a fun, loyal friend.
Gardner, no surprise, is… a fantastic, caring husband.
He's also a…. loving, snuggly dad.
…an easy, happy travel companion.
…a talented chef, a devoted student (past tense!), a good tennis partner, an easy conversationalist…and SO, so much more.
I love you, Gardner. Happy Birthday!!

Our dad is awesome! He has always shown (and reminded us) that having twins has meant double trouble. We therefore truly believe that twin dads (or twin papas, twin fathers, father of twins, dad of twins or whichever you prefer) are superdads!
Because of that, we wanted to celebrate twin dads worlwide with an awesome collection specifically designed with them in mind. Our clothing, accessories and gifts are meant to be a timeless homage to the inspiring men and what they do for their twins.
With Father's Day coming up June 17th we thought a gift guide was in order. Here are some suggestions, but make sure to check out the entire collection here.
For more check out all interview with twin moms here, with twin dads here and with twins here.

Supreme Court Denies Kim Dotcom Permission to Appeal
March 14, 2019 by Andy Maxwell
Home > News >
In 2016, Megaupload founder Kim Dotcom filed an eight-point statement of claim for judicial review in an effort to attack the underpinnings of the extradition process. A year later, the High Court struck out the first seven and a subsequent appeal by Dotcom failed. In a judgment handed down today, Dotcom was denied permission to appeal to the Supreme Court.
In 2012, file-hosting site Megaupload was shut down by the United States government and founder Kim Dotcom and several associates were arrested in New Zealand.
For the past seven years, the US government has been engaged in a battle to extradite Dotcom, so that he can face trial in the US on several counts including copyright infringement, racketeering, and money laundering.
Dotcom has fought back every step of the way and in 2016, filed an eight-point statement of claim for judicial review, aimed at "attacking the underpinnings of the extradition process" by filing an eight-point statement of claim for judicial review.
In a 22-page High Court ruling (pdf) handed down in December 2017, Justice Timothy Brewer sided with the US and rejected seven out of the eight causes of action, stating they were either not reasonably arguable or were abuses of process.
The eighth point, which wasn't challenged by the US, concerns the decision by the Deputy Solicitor-General in June 2017 to direct that clones be made of the electronic devices seized from Mr Dotcom's homes so they could be sent to the US.
Dotcom appealed but the Court of Appeal dismissed the action. Dotcom then sought permission to appeal that decision at the Supreme Court. In a judgment handed down this morning by Justices William Young, O'Regan and Ellen France JJ, the Supreme Court denied leave to appeal.
"The applicant [Dotcom] argues that the criteria for the grant of leave to appeal in s 74 of the Senior Courts Act 2016 are met in relation to the present application either because the application raises matters of general and public importance or because a substantial miscarriage of justice may occur if leave is not granted," the judgment reads.
"We are not persuaded that the proposed appeal raises matters of general and public importance."
Dotcom argued that a miscarriage of justice would take place if he was denied permission to appeal. However, the Supreme Court said that was not correct.
"The applicant is seeking to challenge concurrent findings in the Courts below on almost every point that would be in issue if leave were granted. We do not see the arguments foreshadowed by the applicant in his application for leave and the submissions in support of that application as having sufficient prospects of success to justify the grant of leave," the judgment adds.
After dismissing Dotcom's application for a hearing at the Supreme Court on the matter, the Court then ordered him to pay $2,500 to the US Government to cover its costs.
Thus far, Dotcom hasn't commented publicly on the judgment but did find a report published here on TF yesterday darkly amusing. Safe harbor for YouTube, but not him, apparently.
But the US Govt still wants me in jail for 88 years. Hilarious ?? https://t.co/ECaRQjHRk9

Obama may raise taxes on everyone -- again
Obama may raise taxes on everyone — again
November 25, 2012 | Michael Dorstewitz | Print Article
Are higher gas taxes in store for us?
Ever since 2008, President Obama has presented himself as a champion of the middle and lower class, maintaining a steadfast refusal to raise taxes on all but those earning $250K or more. It's all been a sham and he's about to do it again.
On Super Bowl Sunday in 2011, the president told Fox News host Bill O'Reilly, "I didn't raise taxes once. I lowered taxes over the last two years."
In response, PolitiFact.com decided to check. They found that "the idea that Obama did not raise taxes is just plain wrong." I would have used a different word, but I suppose "wrong" works.
Shortly after assuming office, Obama raised taxes on tobacco which affects lower income classes because a larger portion of their income would pay for these products. PolitiFact also noted that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act — Obamacare — includes many new taxes, including a tanning salon tax.
Now, with a fiscal cliff looming, talks are turning to raising the gasoline tax. If it becomes a reality, it will affect lower classes more than those of the upper echelon because, like the tobacco example above, a larger percentage of their income goes to gasoline.
According to Sunday's Wall Street Journal:
The White House and Congress are trying to craft a broad deficit-reduction deal to substitute for the so-called fiscal cliff, a $500 billion combination of tax increases and spending cuts set to begin Jan. 2. State highway officials and industries that stand to benefit from increased highway spending—including road builders and heavy-equipment makers—are among those pressing lawmakers to raise the 18.4-cent-a-gallon federal gasoline tax as part of an agreement.
And what do advocacy groups have to say about it? Dan Kadish, of the Institute for Energy Research remarked, "Basically, you've got a bunch of people waiting in the wings to stick the collection plate out and grab whatever they can grab."
However it goes, one thing is for certain. It's always easier to raise taxes than it is to cut expenses. Politicians always seem to opt for the easy road, and to hell with the taxpayer.
Read more in "The Driver's Seat" in The Wall Street Journal.
In the following video, Grover Norquist of Americans for aTax Reform debates Neera Tanden, who runs the Center for American Progress on the issue of the multiple Obamacare tax increases what affect the poor. This was from CBS News' "Face the Nation."

The annual Centenarians Trophy was played through atrocious conditions last Sunday. Amidst biting cold wind and intermittent heavy rain Balmain Bowling Club's two mixed triples teams won through to take out this year's prestigious Centenarians Trophy. Played this year at Waverley BC, this was the fourth time the Gala Day has been held since starting in 2015.
The originator Peter McAdam from Mosman BC, who sadly passed away earlier this year, thought it would be a good idea for a Gala Day to be held each year between all the Sydney based clubs who have been operating for more than 100 years. Year by year more clubs are passing the 100 year milestone but Balmain is the oldest in bowling club in NSW and it was a real honour to bring home the trophy. The mixed team format this year was 3 x 7 ends using 3 bowls. A great win for us coming in 6 points in front of the second placed side Randwick with Beecroft, Kilara, Mosman, Neutral Bay. Randwick, Warrawee and Waverley also taking part.
Becoming this years winner enables us to nominate Balmain Bowling Club to run the next Centenarians Day in 2019. Here's a photo of the Balmain BC players with the trophy which will be on display soon, many congratulations to our two sides for a great win. For the oldest bowling club in NSW to now have its name on the Centenarians Trophy is not only fitting but a real achievement for the club as we were involved on the original committee setting up a unique Australian sporting competition.

York Theatre Royal Has A Secret Project – Find out more here!
York Theatre Royal's latest community production will take place over the May bank holiday weekend: but we can't tell you anything about it!
The Secret Bank Holiday Play will be rehearsed over three days with a performance on Monday 30 May.
York Theatre Royal is well-known for its community productions which often take months of planning and rehearsal. This May bank holiday weekend however, this process will take place over just four days as a team of community volunteers descend on the theatre on Friday 27 May to find out the name of the play they will be putting together for a one-off performance on Monday 30 May.
Currently known under its working title The Secret Bank Holiday Play, the production will be based on an existing play which reflects the history of the theatre. The piece will be split into five acts, each of which will represent a style of theatre-making from the last 270 years, from 1744 to the present day.
Over 200 volunteers are currently signed up to take part in The Secret Bank Holiday Play, including cast members, wardrobe, lighting, sound, and prop-making. They will also be joined by a small orchestra and the York Theatre Royal choir. A professional creative team will be working on the project, with York Theatre Royal Artistic Director Damian Cruden providing the link between the acts and the themes of the five sections which will each have a different director.
The Secret Bank Holiday Play has been adapted from a classic script by Richard Hurford and Philip Goulding, who have also written new material to accompany it and the title will be announced on Friday 27 May. The creative team is made up of directors Paul Burbridge, Juliet Forster, Katie Posner, Julian Ollive and Charlotte Bennet. The production will be designed by Anna Gooch and Lydia Denno, with lighting designed by Alexandra Stafford-Marshall, music composed by Dominic Sales, music directed by Madeleine Hudson and movement directed by Hayley Del Harrison.
Following our major community productions this is a brilliant opportunity to welcome our community theatre-makers back into our new building for a fun-packed chaotic weekend which will lead to an exciting production looking at the last 270 years of theatre making at York theatre Royal.

SCSU faces another budget shortfall
Estimates put gap at nearly $7 million for next fiscal year
SCSU faces another budget shortfall Estimates put gap at nearly $7 million for next fiscal year Check out this story on sctimes.com: https://www.sctimes.com/story/news/local/2017/03/23/scsu-faces-another-budget-shortfall/99508804/

St. Cloud State University is facing an estimated budget shortfall of nearly $7 million for next fiscal year, as enrollment continues to decline.
The university is working on a budget plan that identifies $11.8 million that will cover that shortfall and set aside $5 million for the future. The university reported deficits of up to $10 million in FY 2015, $13 million in FY 2012 and had to cut staff, faculty and programs to close previous deficits.
Interim university President Ashish Vaidya has notified the university community that reductions in faculty and staff are possible. And he said more program cuts are coming.
"That will be something that will occur in the future, if not right away," he said in an interview this week.
In addition to an estimated deficit of $6.765 million, Vaidya intends to identify $2.105 million for a revenue contingency fund that guards against unplanned enrollment and expense fluctuations.
"I hope we don't need any of that because then we'll have that money for reinvestment right away," he said.
He wants $1 million for reinvestment in strategic programs, program development, the university's highest strategic goals, he said. And he's proposing $2 million be put toward rebuilding the university's reserves.
Although the reserves aren't unreasonably low, Vaidya said, it's not to the 20 percent of total annual budget that he wants.

"It's still less than what we would like it to be," he said.
The $11.8 million total is about 7.5 percent of the university's general fund budget. He is encouraging faculty and staff to consider everything as he takes suggestions for how to cut the budget and build for the future. The initial budget will be unveiled in early April, with the final FY 2018 budget being submitted May 1 to the Minnesota State system office.
"This kind of challenge is not easy. It's really going to force us to rethink how we do things," Vaidya said. "We can't operate in silos and say 'That's the role we played and we can't play this or that role.' "
Vaidya mentioned possible cuts to electives and minors and more refined study plans. Unknown is the impact of contract negotiations with its unions. Initial budget assumptions are based on past compensation increases that would add $6 million to the budget if staffing levels remained the same, he said.
Higher education in Minnesota, and in many places around the country, is facing challenges of dwindling resources to meet operational needs, he said. And universities can't rely on a model of just tuition and state appropriations to pay the bills, he said. It's more important than ever to engage the community.
"We are looking for partnerships with you, to help us do what we have to do. We have to be more responsive," he said. "We can't be offering everything that we think is important. You tell us what are the most important things you think we should be doing. How can we help improve the economic, social, cultural vitality of this region?"
Studies show that the number of graduating high school seniors in Minnesota will continue to decline in the immediate future. And while recruiting new students needs to remain a priority, there needs to be as much focus on retaining the students who are already here, Vaidya said.
He wants to raise those retention levels while increasing graduate enrollment and attracting more transfer students.

10th Regiment Ohio Volunteer Cavalry
10th Regiment Ohio Volunteer Cavalry (1862-1865)
Also Known As: Tenth Regiment Ohio Volunteer Cavalry
Author: Mike Mangus, The Ohio State University	Published: January 21, 2014 Updated: January 21, 2014
In the American Civil War, Ohio provided the federal government with 260 regiments of men, including infantry, artillery, and cavalry units. Ohioans also served in several other regiments from other states, most notably from Kentucky, West Virginia, and Massachusetts, as well as in federal units. Almost 330,000 Ohio men, including 5,092 African Americans, served in the Union military during the conflict.
Cavalry regiments established in Ohio were known as regiments of Ohio Volunteer Cavalry. Regiments formed in Ohio served for varying lengths of time, averaging one hundred days to three years. In October 1862, the 10th Regiment Ohio Volunteer Cavalry began to organize at Camp Taylor at Cleveland, Ohio. The men in the regiment were to serve for three years. Despite organizing in October 1862, the regiment was not fully equipped with arms and horses until the spring of 1863. At this time, the 10th departed Camp Taylor for Nashville, Tennessee, where the command entered camp near Murfreesboro, Tennessee.
At Murfreesboro, the 10th participated in periodic expeditions and picket duty. In late June 1863, the regiment embarked upon the Union's Army of the Cumberland's Tullahoma Campaign (June 24-July 3, 1863), a Northern advance through southern Tennessee and northern Alabama. The 10th skirmished routinely with Confederate cavalry during the campaign. The regiment remained at Huntsville, Alabama and Shelbyville, Tennessee until early September 1863, when the command joined the Union's Army of the Cumberland's advance against the Confederacy's Army of Tennessee at Chickamauga, Georgia. At the Battle of Chickamauga (September 19-20, 1863), the 10th did not engage the enemy, instead guarding communication lines. Following this Northern defeat, the Army of the Cumberland withdrew to Chattanooga, Tennessee, where the Army of Tennessee besieged the Northern force.
The 10th Ohio did not remain at Chattanooga during the siege, with officials ordering the regiment into the Sequatchie Valley to attack Confederate guerrillas under the command of Champ Ferguson. While performing this duty, some of the 10th accompanied a portion of the 15th Regiment Pennsylvania Cavalry into eastern Tennessee. On this expedition, which lasted approximately three months, the Northerners battled regularly with Confederate forces. In one engagement, the command captured Governor Zebulon Vance of North Carolina, who had led five hundred enemy soldiers against the Union force. While this detachment from the 10th operated in eastern Tennessee, the remainder of the regiment, following the successful conclusion of the Siege of Chattanooga for the Union, moved into northern Georgia, entering camp first at Rossville, before moving to Bridgeport, Alabama.
The 10th Ohio reunited at Bridgeport in early 1864. In the spring of 1864, the organization traveled to Lavergne, Tennessee, where, after one month of rest, the command received fresh horses. The 10th returned to the front at Ringgold, Georgia, where officials placed the regiment in the Second Brigade, Third Division Cavalry Corps of the Army of the Cumberland.
In early May 1864, the 10th embarked upon Union General William T. Sherman's Atlanta Campaign. The goal of this expedition was for Northern forces to capture the important manufacturing center of Atlanta, Georgia. The regiment fought in many of the largest engagements of the campaign, including the Battles of Resaca, Marietta, and Lovejoy's Station. The 10th also participated in several raids in the rear of Atlanta, cutting supply and communication networks into the city. With the Union's seizure of Atlanta on September 2, 1864, the regiment entered camp in the vicinity of the city. The organization also carried out periodic foraging excursions for the next ten weeks. After the Atlanta Campaign, the 10th's commanding officer issued the following report:
On the 2d day of May the regiment, with the division, stationed at Ringgold, Ga., advanced on a reconnaissance in the direction of Tunnel Hill, engaging the enemy along his lines in front of that position, inflicting considerable punishment, and sustaining a small loss in killed and wounded. On the 7th the regiment, with the division, marched from Ringgold by way of Nickajack Gap, the duty of the command consisting mainly in keeping open communication between Maj.-Gen. McPherson's column on the right and that of Maj.-Gen. Thomas, the center of the advancing army, until the 10th of May, during which time the enemy's pickets and scouts were occasionally met. On the 10th Snake Creek Gap was passed, and the command halted in Sugar Valley. On the 12th, the division advancing on the Resaca road, the regiment drove an outpost guard of the enemy from the Calhoun road, which runs parallel to the railroad and one mile and a half west of Resaca. This position was held four and a half hours by the regiment against superior numbers, when the command retired and bivouacked. On the 13th an advance was made on the same position in the same manner, the regiment driving the enemy, who resisted the advance more obstinately than on the previous day. Early in the engagement Brig.-Gen. Kilpatrick, commanding division, at the head of the command, received a severe gunshot wound in the thigh. The position was held until the command was relieved by a division of infantry from the Sixteenth Army Corps. May 14, the business of keeping open communications, scouting, &c., was resumed, and continued until the 19th, when a point five miles south of Kingston was reached. From this place the command returned to Adairsville, on the railroad, for the purpose of guarding the line of communication with the rear.
On the 7th of June the regiment moved to Gillem's Bridge, on the Etowah River, four miles south of Kingston, and there remained scouting, patrolling, &c., until July 3, when the command moved to Cartersville. Here the regiment was engaged in scouting by detachments, guarding communications &c., until August 3, when the command started for the front, arriving at Sweet Water bridge on the 6th. During the 11th and 12th the command reconnoitered along the Chattahoochee River, in the direction of Campbellton, and on the 14th moved across the river to Sandtown. During the 15th and 16th a reconnaissance of the enemy's left flank was made. On the 18th the command started with the object of operating on the enemy's lines of communication. On the morning of the 19th the enemy was encountered in considerable force at Red Oak Station, on the West Point railroad. As the Second Brigade was passing this point an attempt was made by the enemy to intersect the column, and the Tenth Ohio, being the rear regiment, only succeeded in passing after a sharp contest. At sunset of this day the command succeeded in driving the enemy from Jonesborough, on the Atlanta and Macon Railroad. On attempting to move southward from this place, the Tenth Ohio in advance, the column came upon a strong barricade hidden by the darkness, behind which the enemy lay in strong force, and from which the advance was forced to recoil by the murderous fire they received. A second attempt to pass the point was made with the like result, and the loss of valuable men killed and wounded. Failing to effect a passage here the command, by a rapid movement in another direction, succeeded in reaching the railroad at Lovejoy's Station. Here, however, before much had been accomplished in destroying the track, an attack was made by the enemy in heavy force, consisting of infantry, cavalry, and artillery, which succeeded in surrounding our position. A charge was ordered, and succeeded so far as to drive the enemy from his artillery, throw his cavalry into utter confusion, and enabled the command to pass on its way with little loss and in perfect order. From here the column moved by easy stages, by the way of Decatur, to the right of our army, and thence to Sandtown, arriving August 23. On the 27th of August at 1.30 a. m., the Tenth Ohio Cavalry, with the division, marched from Sandtown, Ga., prepared for an advance upon the enemy's lines. There being in the regiment, however, an average of but twelve rounds of ammunition at the cross-roads, three miles west of Camp Creek bridge, the command bivouacked. On the morning of the 28th the march was again resumed, and the West Point railroad crossed near Red Oak Station, the command halting near this point. The regiment was posted on the right at Church, and was immediately attacked by a force of dismounted cavalry, estimated at 300, and two pieces of artillery. The skirmishing continued four hours, when the command was relieved by a division of the Sixteenth Army Corps, and bivouacked near the church.
On the 29th the cavalry was engaged in reconnoitering in the direction of Fayetteville, returning for the night to the church, where fifteen rounds of ammunition were received, the twelve rounds with which they had started having been nearly expended in the skirmish of the day previous. On the 30th the column advanced toward Jonesborough. At ------- plantation the enemy was encountered behind strong barricades, and, after a brief engagement, was driven from his position. During this engagement First Lieut. Henry H. Crooks was killed by a gunshot in the head while in the discharge of his duty as aide-de-camp to Lieut.Col. Jones, commanding brigade. During the ensuing night the regiment picketed the junction of the Fayetteville and Jonesborough roads, four miles west of the latter place. On the 31st, having rejoined the command, an advance was made to Flint River at ------- Ford. Here the Second Brigade and a part of the First were thrown across the river, and barricades hastily constructed. Scarcely had this been done when a large body of the enemy's infantry (subsequently ascertained to be Cleburne's division), with a battery of artillery, furiously assaulted the feeble works. After a most determined resistance and the exhaustion of the ammunition the command retired across the stream, the men of this regiment only leaving the last barricade after the last cartridge had been fired, some even remaining without ammunition to encourage those who were more fortunate to hold the enemy in check until the main body of our troops were over the stream. This retrograde movement drew the enemy upon the lines of our infantry, by whom they were at once engaged.
During the 1st day of September the regiment was engaged in guarding approaches on the extreme right of the army. On the 2d the command moved to a point southwest of Lovejoy's Station. From this date to the 8th no incident worthy of note occurred to the regiment, except that on the 6th, on the road from Jonesborough to Red Oak Station, a body of the enemy's mounted scouts, numbering about 100, was encountered, who, however, offered but slight resistance to the progress of the column.
THOS. W. SANDERSON, Lieut.-Col., Comdg. Tenth Ohio Vol. Cavalry.
In mid-November 1864, the 10th Ohio joined General Sherman's "March to the Sea." The ultimate goal of this campaign was for the Union military to seize Savannah, Georgia. The regiment engaged Confederate General Joseph Wheeler's cavalry forces throughout the campaign, including at Jonesville, at Bear Creek Station, at Griswoldsville, at Gordon, and at Waynesboro. The Union military occupied Savannah on December 21, 1864, with the 10th entering camp near the city. After the "March to the Sea," the 10th's commanding officer issued the following report:
HDQRS. TENTH OHIO VOLUNTEER CAVALRY, King's Bridge, near Savannah, Ga., December 22, 1864.
SIR: I have the honor to submit the following report of the operations of the Tenth Regt. Ohio Volunteer Cavalry, under my command, from the time of leaving Marietta, Ga., until the arrival of the Third Cavalry Division at this place:
On the 16th day of November, Wheeler's command having been encountered at Bear Creek Station, the Tenth Ohio was ordered to the advance, and directed to drive the enemy two miles upon a road leading to the right. In attempting to do so two brigades of rebel cavalry were encountered strongly posted on a ridge behind barricades. Two squadrons of the regiment were dismounted on the enemy's left flank to engage their attention while his right was being turned by a saber charge, which was done in gallant style, under the command of Maj. Filkins, in command of one battalion of the regiment. The enemy were driven at all points from their barricades and closely pursued for more than a mile. No other troops assisted in this action. Twenty prisoners, including 3 commissioned officers, were captured. The loss of the enemy was not ascertained. The regiment lost 4 killed, 7 wounded, and 4 captured. It is but just that I should call attention to the heroic conduct of Sergt. Henry Shrieves, of Company C, who led his company, being several rods in front of them, in the saber charge, inciting the men by his example to deeds of valor until he fell wounded by a ball through the thigh. The complete success of the charge, against more than four times the number of those who made it, the assailed at the same time protected by barricades, was in a great measure attributable to his gallantry.
The regiment was not engaged again until the arrival of the command at Macon on the 29th day of November, when, during the progress of the demonstration made by Gen. Kilpatrick upon that place, the regiment was ordered to make a saber charge along the Clinton and Macon road, from which the enemy were then firing. The distance to reach the guns was something over half a mile along a road through deep woods which concealed the enemy's guns and their works. The regiment (except one battalion, detached), in pursuance of orders, charged along the road, reached the enemy's guns, which were in a redoubt, completely blocking the road, there being only room for two horses to enter of the redoubt were long lines of breast-works and rifle pits filled with infantry. On the left of the road there was also a battery commanding the road and the point where the road crossed a small but deep creek, being and point from which the regiment started on the charge. Notwithstanding all these obstacles the regiment charged into the redoubt and for a moment had complete possession of it, and could, if the men had possessed the means, have spiked the guns. As the head of the column entered the redoubt the first line of the enemy's infantry (apparently militia) seemed to be stampeded and panic-stricken and were rapidly falling back. The second line, however, were seen advancing to gain a position behind the works abandoned by the militia. An infantry line was also seen advancing from the woods on the left of the road, and seeing that the guns could not be removed, and that there was barely time to withdraw the regiment before the rebel infantry would be upon us, I ordered the column to retire. This was done in good order, under fire from the enemy's guns. The loss of the regiment in this charge was seven wounded. It is with pleasure I call the attention of the colonel commanding to the heroic conduct and bearing of Capt. J. H. Hafford, of Company M, commanding Companies C and M. His squadron was in the advance and its head. He was the first man to enter the fort, where his force was shot under him, and falling upon him he could not extricate himself in time to prevent his capture. He is now in the hands of the enemy.
In the next action of note in which the division was engaged, at Reynolds, on the 28th of November, the Tenth being sent to the right flank of the line, which the enemy did not attack, was not attack, was not specially engaged, and nothing more of note occurred until the engagement at Waynesborough, on the 4th of December. On the morning of that day, when the command moved from bivouac at Thomas's Station to attack Wheeler's command near Waynesborough, the Tenth Ohio Volunteer Cavalry moved in the advance, under orders from the colonel commanding brigade, that as an opportunity occurred, to charge with the saber. A skirmish line was thrown out from the regiment, which drove the skirmish line of the enemy for more than a mile back in the direction of Waynesborough, upon their main line, strongly posted behind barricades, dismounted. As soon as this line was developed the regiment was arranged for a charge by battalions. The First Battalion, commanded by Capt. S. E. Norton, was directed to move down the railroad on the enemy's left flank; the Second, Maj. Platt, to move to the left so as to turn the barricades on the enemy's right; and the Third Maj. Filkins, was ordered to move straight on to the barricades; all to charge with the saber at a given signal. At the same time the Ninety-second Illinois (dismounted) moved in line of battle toward the rebel line. As soon as that regiment got within range, I ordered the charge, which was made in splendid style, the barricades carried, and the whole rebel line stampeded. The regiment captured over 70 prisoners. I have not been able to learn their loss in killed and wounded. In this action the regiment lost 4 killed and 7 wounded. Among the wounded was Capt. S. E. Norton, commanding the First Battalion, whose wound proved mortal. His loss to the regiment is irreparable. For faithfulness in the discharge of all his duties as an officer, and bravery upon the battlefield, exhibited on every occasion when an opportunity presented, could not be surpassed. The brilliant victory of the day was dearly purchased in his loss to the army and the country.
The total loss of the regiment since leaving Marietta, Ga., November 14, 1864, is as follows: Officers-wounded, 4 (1 mortally); captured, 2. Enlisted men--killed, 7; wounded, 22; missing, 13.
During the campaign the regiment captured 229 horses and mules. There were 180 of these killed in action and abandoned.
The undersigned, as commanding officer of the regiments, is fully satisfied with the bravery and gallantry of the officers and men of his command during the campaign, and only hopes that they have met the expectations of the colonel commanding brigade in the faithful discharge of their duties of officers and soldiers, and in their conduct upon the battle-field in one of the most successful and glorious campaigns of the war.
I have the honor to be, most respectfully, your obedient servant,
THOS. W. SANDERSON, Lieut.-Col., Cmdg. Tenth Ohio Volunteer Cavalry.
Capt. H. J. SMITH, Actg. Asst. Adjt. Gen., Second Brig., Third Cavalry Div.
In January 1865, the 10th Ohio embarked upon General Sherman Carolinas Campaign. In South Carolina, the regiment, again, participated in several skirmishes with Confederate forces. During this campaign, the 10th's commanding officer issued the following report:
HDQRS. TENTH OHIO CAVALRY. In the Field, April 1, 1865.
SIR: I have the honor to submit the following report of the operations of this regiment since the 28th day of January, 1865:
The regiment made the march from Savannah through the Carolinas with the brigade to which it is attached, and during the campaign was only twice specially engaged with the enemy, to wit, at Aiken, on the 11th day of February, 1865, when the Second Brigade moved to Aiken and encountered the enemy in force. In covering the movements of other regiments in retiring the regiment lost as follows: Killed, 2; wounded, 4; missing, 10; total 16. Again, in the engagement of the 4th of March the regiment lost: Killed, 1; wounded, 1; missing, 1; total 3. During the whole campaign the regiment lost: Killed, 4; wounded, 10; captured, 11; missing, 23; total, 48.
There were captured by the regiment 98 horses and 27 mules.
Very respectfully submitted.
THOS. W. SANDERSON. Lieut.-Col., Cmdg. Tenth Ohio Volunteer Cavalry.
Capt. H. J. SMITH. Actg. Asst. Adjt. Gen., Second Brigade, Third Cavalry Division.
Following the surrender of General Joseph Johnston's Confederate army in late April 1865, the 10th remained in North Carolina, serving as garrison troops. Officials mustered the organization out of service on July 24, 1865 at Lexington, North Carolina.
During the 10th Ohio's term of service, forty-two men, including three officers, died from wounds received on the battlefield. An additional 159 men, including one officer, died from disease or accidents.

Is anyone watching this programme? Have watched a couple of the trailers and it looks as if it might be good - would have to watch on catch up but would like some comments from anyone who is watching it before I do.
I remember him more for Apple Tree Yard. First 2 episodes quite good but i just hope that he and Charlotte Riley (Peaky Blinders) don't get 'together'. It would be so predictable (and boring) and would probably put me off watching further.
Ah yes, Apple Tree Yard - wondered where I had seen him before. Thanks Ken. Think I'll give it a go.


This is a genetic condition linked to decreased production of two components of the haemoglobin molecule. These are the β-globin chains and the δ-globin chains. Since these two globin chains are decreased there is an increase in the production of γ-globin chains. This means that more fetal haemoglobin is produced. Since beta chains are reduced this condition is related to beta thalassaemia but the partial compensation due to the increased fetal haemoglobin means that the clinical severity is milder than beta thalassaemia. Delta-beta thalassaemia is much less common than beta thalassaemia.
If you are simply a carrier of the gene then there will be no symptoms and no treatment is needed. If you have inherited the δβ –thalassaemia gene from both parents then you will have anaemia of the thalassaemia intermedia type, which is a moderate form of the disease. If you have inherited the δβ-thalassaemia gene from one parent and the β-thalassaemia gene from the other then you will have a thalassaemia major anaemia.
If the clinical severity is that of thalassaemia intermedia then careful follow up at a specialized centre is needed and possibly blood transfusion will be eventually required. If the clinical severity is like that of thalassaemia major then you will need regular blood transfusions and other treatments such as the removal of excess iron (chelation) which that condition requires.
If you marry a partner who is a carrier of δβ or β-thalassaemia then there is a 25% (1 in 4) in each pregnancy of the child being affected with either intermedia or major thalassaemia, unless you are affected in which case the chance is 50%. The other possibilities are that the child might be a carrier (50%) or completely without an abnormal gene (25%) but this is only if you are a carrier and not a patient. Ask for genetic counselling from a specialist to have a more clear picture of your risks as a couple.
