Notification of this interview came out a fortnight ago, but I've posted the link here should anyone wish to discuss this video or treatment for elderly CLL patients in general:

Not long ago, younger patients received the most aggressive CLL treatment, which gave them the greatest chance for long-term disease control, and elderly patients were given less-effective palliative care. Now therapies are targeted, have fewer side effects and are suitable for the older patient, giving them the same chance of a longer life. Dr. Valentin Goede, a hematologist/oncologist and gerontologist who specializes in CLL care at the University of Cologne in Germany, explains how this is a much more positive time for elderly people with CLL.

If startled, the Crested or Wood Pigeon, takes to the air with a characteristic loud fluttering sound, which is produced by the air passing over a modified primary feather on the wing.

Did you know that bird plumage colours are created by either pigments or from light refraction caused by the structure of the feather? Pigeons make good use of the refraction effect for some spectacular colours as you can see on the wing of this pigeon. The camera just doesn't do it justice:
