Cerus Endovascular Promotes Stephen Griffin, PhD, to President
Company On-Track to Achieve Key Clinical and Regulatory Milestones
FREMONT, Calif. and OXFORD, England, May 11, 2018 -- (Healthcare Sales & Marketing Network) -- Cerus Endovascular Ltd., a privately-held, commercial-stage medical device company engaged in the design and development of highly differentiated and proprietary interventional neuroradiology devices and delivery systems for the treatment of acute, life-threatening neurological conditions, specifically, intracranial aneurysm, today announced the promotion of Stephen Griffin, PhD, to president of the company, effective immediately. Dr. Griffin had previously served as the company's chief technology officer since joining in 2014.
"For the past four years, Stephen has been an integral part of the Cerus team, and it gives the Board great satisfaction to recognize his vast contributions through his promotion to president," said Sam J. Milstein, PhD, lead director of the company. "In addition to inventing or co-inventing Cerus's portfolio of interventional neuroradiology devices, including the Contour Neurovascular System™, as well as its intra-saccular coil assist neck bridge technology and microcatheters, Stephen has played a key role in their clinical advancement while also forging relationships with key opinion leaders and pursuing strategic collaborations. The Board looks forward to the continuity of Stephen's leadership as Cerus works to bring its novel aneurysm treatments to market while creating significant value for its investors."
"I am honored to accept the role of president of Cerus Endovascular at this important time in the company's evolution," said Dr. Griffin. "We are working toward a number of important milestones this year, including CE Mark and FDA approval for our family of microcatheters, the first of which has been submitted for approval in the U.S. We are also working toward completion of CE Mark trial enrollment of the Contour Neurovascular System™, and the initiation of activities to support an investigational device exception (IDE) study of both the Contour Neurovascular System™ and the intra-saccular neck bridge device technology. We believe these technologies have the potential to significantly advance the field of aneurysm therapy, and we continue to work diligently to bring these treatment options to patients who need them."
Prior to joining Cerus Endovascular, Dr. Griffin founded a medical device and technology consultancy, Griffin Biomedical, which counted Cerus Endovascular among its clients. Before that, he served as vice president of research and technology development at Covidien (which was acquired by Medtronic in 2015) and, before that, director of research and development at Nellix Endovascular. Prior to joining Nellix, he served as director of research and development at Cordis (a unit of J&J, which was sold to Cardinal Health in 2015). Earlier in his career, Dr. Griffin served in various research and development roles of increasing responsibility at Boston Scientific. He received his PhD and his BS in Materials Science from the University of Limerick.
The company also announced that Todd Derbin is no longer chief executive officer or chairman of the company or its U.S. subsidiary.
About Cerus Endovascular
Founded in 2013, Cerus Endovascular is a privately-held, commercial-stage medical device company engaged in the design and development of highly differentiated and proprietary interventional neuroradiology devices and delivery systems for the treatment of acute, life-threatening neurological conditions, specifically, intracranial aneurysm. The company's first product, the Contour Neurovascular System™, is a pre-shaped structure of fine mesh braid with shape memory properties that is delivered to the aneurysm via an endovascular micro-catheter. The company is also developing a pipeline of complementary devices, leveraging the design concept of the Contour Neurovascular System™ to address the full range of size, type and location of cerebral aneurysms with which a patient can present to the clinician.

Q: count zeros between 1s in same column I've data like this.
ID  IND
1   0
2   0
3   1
4   0
5   1
6   0
7   0

I want to count the zeros before the value 1. So that, the output will be like below.
ID  IND  OUT
1   0    0
2   0    0
3   1    2
4   0    0
5   1    1
6   0    0
7   0    2

Is it possible without pl/sql? I tried to find the differences between row numbers but couldn't achieve it.

A: The match_recognize clause, introduced in Oracle 12.1, can do quick work of such "row pattern recognition" problems. The solution is just a bit complex due to the special treatment of a "last row" with ID = 0, but it is straightforward otherwise.
As usual, the with clause is not part of the solution; I include it to test the query. Remove it and use your actual table and column names.
with
  inputs (id, ind) as (
    select 1, 0 from dual union all
    select 2, 0 from dual union all
    select 3, 1 from dual union all
    select 4, 0 from dual union all
    select 5, 1 from dual union all
    select 6, 0 from dual union all
    select 7, 0 from dual
  )
select id, ind, out
from   inputs
match_recognize(
  order by id
  measures case classifier() when 'Z' then 0
                             when 'O' then count(*) - 1
                             else          count(*)     end as out
  all rows per match
  pattern  ( Z* ( O | X ) )
  define   Z as ind = 0, O as ind != 0
);

        ID        IND        OUT
---------- ---------- ----------
         1          0          0
         2          0          0
         3          1          2
         4          0          0
         5          1          1
         6          0          0
         7          0          2

A: You can treat this as a gaps-and-islands problem.  You can define the "islands" by the number of "1"s one or after each row.  Then use a window function:
select t.*,
       (case when ind = 1 or row_number() over (order by id desc) = 1
             then sum(1 - ind) over (partition by grp)
             else 0
        end) as num_zeros
from (select t.*,
             sum(ind) over (order by id desc) as grp
      from t
     ) t;

If id is sequential with no gaps, you can do this without a subquery:
select t.*,
       (case when ind = 1 or row_number() over (order by id desc) = 1
             then id - coalesce(lag(case when ind = 1 then id end ignore nulls) over (order by id), min(id) over () - 1)
             else 0
        end)
from t;

I would suggest removing the case conditions and just using the then clause for the expression, so the value is on all rows.

High Quality Brake Kits Discounted for Complete Brake Job.
Why replace defective brake components one at a time when you can replace them all in just one affordable, quality, kit!
Note: The original smaller (7/8" Dia.) rear Toyota wheel cylinder w/dual pistons has been discontinued by Toyota. CCOT's rear wheel cylinders are the larger (1 1/8" Dia.) single action wheel cylinders from later model FJ40s and are said to be stronger by Customers.


On 4 September 2018, the European Students' Union was represented by Gohar Hovhannisyan -Executive Committee member of ESU- at the National Correspondents for Qualifications Frameworks (QF-EHEA) meeting at the Council of Europe (CoE) in Strasbourg.
The Commission and the European Training Foundation contributed to the meeting, where 37 countries and several stakeholder organisations were also present.
Recent developments in the Bologna Qualifications Framework were discussed from the national level perspective. A reflection on the Paris Communique and its reference to the inclusion of ECTS-based short cycle qualifications in the Qualifications Frameworks in the European Higher Education Area (QF-EHEA) was also a key topic of the meeting.
In addition, participants at the meeting introduced possible ways of including Competences for Democratic Culture in the National Qualification Frameworks (NQFs) and the need of mapping initiatives for a more comprehensive picture about short cycle qualifications around the EHEA.
For more information about EHEA, Qualification Frameworks and short cycle qualifications, have a look at the EHEA website.

Munya devastated by Big Brother results but looks forward his movie premiere
Kwaw Kesse music video and more on Studio 53 this week
Ghana's evicted rep to the ongoing Big Brother All Stars reality TV show, Sammy B has described recent actions by fellow housemate, Hannington, which has received widespread condemnation as rather unfortunate. Hannington hit female housemate Lerato after a heated argument over issues affecting Africa earlier in the week. According to Sammy who was talking to a local TV station, Hannington wasn't thinking right and so made a terrible decision when he was pushed to his limits.
Although Sammy blames Lerato for overstepping her boundaries, he stated emphatically that he doesn't agree with Hannington's actions. He added that it is psychologically tough on housemates in the Big Brother house and so sometimes they act without necessarily thinking their actions through. Sammy returned home to Ghana after opting out of the barn due to health reasons. Hannington has been disqualified and evicted from big Brother All Stars following his actions.
Meanwhile the producers of the hit reality TV show have released the following official statement:
Big Brother All Stars is a reality television programme that is designed to contain 14 housemates in a house for 91 days under certain rules and regulations. In an incident late on Tuesday night (14 September) there was a breach of the Big Brother rules and M-Net and series producer Endemol has had to evaluate and consider the sanctions to be imposed for the breach of these rules.
In order to assist in providing these sanctions, M-Net and Endemol called in a psychologist to assess the situation and the individuals involved, to ensure fairness and that the best interests of the housemates were taken into consideration. The psychologist advised that an assessment of the housemates was required and a series of interviews was conducted in order to determine their mental and emotional state before Big Brother made public his decision on this matter.
Further to this intervention, M-Net and Endemol have decided on the following course of action: Hannington Kuteesa will be evicted for contravening the Big Brother rules in relation to violence and Lerato Sengadi will remain in the house but will also be sanctioned. Hannington will be offered support and treatment on exiting the house. The details of this treatment will be revealed once Hannington has completed the process and we ask for his privacy to be respected in this matter.
Big Brother also wishes to note that this was an incident that could have been avoided, through discussion and a mature approach to conflict. For this reason Big Brother deems it necessary to continue the anger management and conflict resolution process that has begun in the house to ensure that all housemates understand their roles in creating conflict and in contributing to explosive situations.
Related Topics:big brother all stars
In my humble opinion I feel Big Brother also feels the heat this as brought up. The decisions made in this incident were not fair at all.
If Big Brother was to follow the rules, they should have been followed from day 1, What happened when Mwisho hit Meryl? Nothing, what happened when Meryl made death threats to Kaone with a knife? nothing, what happened when bottles where thrown around in the house, and Diary room attacked? nothing!
SO why out of the blue, after 3 days, did MNET or whoever decide Hannington had to be evicted?
We need answers to these sudden events that occured.
To me, yesterday I SAW THE WELL DESERVED WINNER of the show walk out of that BARN, and this is totally unfair to UGANDA as a nation.
I think Ugandans should boycott any further involvements in the series.
It is so sad. Sammi B, we love you.
OOOh, and by the way, they both need help!
So they should evict Lerato and she also goes for the same help as what Hannington will receive.
Totally unfair!

In general, a player must be at least 20 years of age to play in the AHL or not currently be beholden to a junior ice hockey team. The league limits the number of experienced professional players on a team's active roster during any given game; only five skaters can have accumulated four full seasons of play or more at the professional level (goaltenders are exempt from this rule and can stay in the AHL indefinitely without being subject to this cap). The AHL allows for practice squad contracts.
The AHL traces its origins directly to two predecessor professional leagues: the Canadian-American Hockey League (the "Can-Am" League), founded in 1926, and the first International Hockey League, established in 1929. Although the Can-Am League never operated with more than six teams, the departure of the Boston Bruin Cubs after the 1935–36 season reduced it down to just four member clubs – Springfield Indians, Philadelphia Ramblers, Providence Reds, and New Haven Eagles – for the first time in its history. At the same time, the then-rival IHL lost half of its eight members after the 1935–36 season, also leaving it with just four member teams: Buffalo Bisons, Syracuse Stars, Pittsburgh Hornets and Cleveland Falcons.
With both leagues down to the bare minimum in membership, the governors of each recognized the need for action to assure their member clubs' long-term survival. Their solution was to play an interlocking schedule. While the Can-Am was based in the Northeast and the IHL in the Great Lakes and Midwest, their footprints were close enough for this to be a viable option. The two older leagues' eight surviving clubs began joint play in November 1936 as a new two-division "circuit of mutual convenience" known as the International-American Hockey League. The four Can-Am teams became the I-AHL East Division, with the IHL quartet playing as the West Division. The IHL also contributed its former championship trophy, the F. G. "Teddy" Oke Trophy, which would go to the regular-season winners of the merged league's West Division until 1952. The Oke Trophy is now awarded to the regular-season winners of the AHL's Northeast Division.
A little more than a month into that first season, the balance and symmetry of the new combined circuit suffered a setback when its membership unexpectedly fell to seven teams. The West's Buffalo Bisons were forced to cease operations on December 6, 1936, after playing just 11 games, because of what proved to be insurmountable financial problems and lack of access to a suitable arena; the Bisons' original arena, Peace Bridge Arena, had collapsed the previous season. (A new Buffalo Bisons would return in 1940 after a new arena was constructed for them.) The makeshift new I-AHL played out the rest of its first season (as well as all of the next) with just seven teams.
After the 1939–40 season the I-AHL renamed itself the American Hockey League. It generally enjoyed both consistent success on the ice and relative financial stability over its first three decades of operation. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, however, the cost of doing business in professional ice hockey began to rise sharply with NHL expansion and relocation (a process which involved the placing of teams in Pittsburgh and Buffalo, forcing two long-time AHL clubs, the Pittsburgh Hornets and Buffalo Bisons, to fold) and especially the 1972 formation of the World Hockey Association (WHA), which forced the relocation and subsequent folding of the Cleveland Barons, Baltimore Clippers and Quebec Aces. The number of major-league teams competing for players rose from six to thirty in just seven years. Player salaries at all levels shot up dramatically with the increased demand and competition for their services.
This did not seem to affect the AHL at first, as it expanded to 12 teams by 1970. However, to help compensate for the rise in player salaries, many NHL clubs cut back on the number of players they kept under contract for development, and players under AHL contracts could now also demand much higher paychecks to remain with their clubs. As a result, half of the AHL's teams folded from 1974 to 1977. The league bottomed out in the summer of 1977 with news that the Rhode Island (formerly Providence) Reds – the last remaining uninterrupted franchise from the 1936–37 season, and the oldest continuously operating minor league franchise in North America – had decided to cease operations after 51 years in Rhode Island.
In 2001–02, the AHL's membership jumped dramatically to 27 teams, mostly by the absorption of six teams – Milwaukee, Chicago, Houston, Utah, Manitoba, and Grand Rapids – from the International Hockey League. The IHL had established itself as the second top-level minor league circuit in North America, but folded in 2001 due to financial problems. One oddity caused by the AHL's 2001 expansion was that the league had two teams with the same nickname: the Milwaukee Admirals and the Norfolk Admirals. The latter team transferred to the league from the mid-level ECHL in 2000. This situation lasted until the end of the 2014–15 season when the Norfolk team moved to San Diego and was replaced by another ECHL team with the same name.
In January 2015, the AHL announced the relocation of five existing AHL franchises – Adirondack, Manchester, Norfolk, Oklahoma City, and Worcester – to California as the basis for a new "Pacific Division" becoming Stockton, Ontario, San Diego, Bakersfield, and San Jose respectively. The relocated teams were all affiliated and owned or purchased by teams in the NHL's Pacific Division. The franchise movements continued with two more relocations involving Canadian teams with the St. John's IceCaps going back to Winnipeg as the Manitoba Moose and the Hamilton Bulldogs becoming another iteration of the IceCaps to fulfill the arena contract in St. John's.
For the 2018–19 season, a 31st team will join the league with the Colorado Eagles as the NHL's Colorado Avalanche affiliate and the first AHL expansion since 2010.

The American Hockey League first held an All-Star Game in the 1941–42 season. The event was not played again until the 1954–55 season, and was then held annually until the 1959–60 season. In the 1994–95 season, the AHL revived the events again, and has been played every season since. The skills competition was first introduced for the 1995–96 season. From 1996 to 2010, the game took place between a team of players born outside of Canada and a team of players born within Canada. The All-Star Game was replaced by an all-star challenge between the league's divisions from the 2015-16 season onward. The challenge consists of six round-robin games between the league's divisions; the top two divisions in the challenge's round-robin phase advance to a six-minute championship game. The winning division of the championship game is declared the winner of the all-star challenge.

Americana Dream
Devin Grant
The Travelin' Kine releases its debut album
On June 18—the ninth anniversary of the Sofa Super Store fire that killed nine local firefighters—Americana band The Travelin' Kine released its first album, Change In The Wind, with a concert at the Pour House. It was a date that singer and guitarist Slaton Glover would never have selected; a firefighter himself, he lost close friends in the tragedy. But it was what the venue offered, and Glover decided to take it, with 100 percent of the night's album sales going to the MUSC Burned Children's Fund. "It seemed like a good opportunity to honor those guys in the best way I know," he says. The sold-out show was a huge success.
Interestingly, the album's title track also made the best of a bad situation: Glover wrote it the day his divorce was finalized in 2013, having recently quit firefighting to take up music full-time. The song starts with Glover lamenting the bad weather that's enveloping his life, but then, in a classic "you can't keep a good man down" musical moment, he self-prescribes change as a cure for what ails him.
Other album highlights include "For The Road," the kind of song you'd hear blaring from a honky-tonk jukebox, and "I'm Not As Smart As You Look," which transcends its clever title and sticks with you long after the last mandolin and slide guitar notes fade. Hear them all at thetravelinkine.com, or live on August 5 at The Windjammer.

Q: Merging 2 dictionaries having duplicate keys with linq How to merge 2 dictionaries of IDictionary<Guid, MyObject> where MyObject is a class instance?
IDictionary<Guid, MyObject> d1 = new Dictionary<Guid, MyObject>();
d1.Add(guid1, m1);
d1.Add(guid2, m2);
d1.Add(guid3, m3);
IDictionary<Guid, MyObject> d2 = new Dictionary<Guid, MyObject>();
d2.Add(guid2, m2);
d2.Add(guid3, m3);
d2.Add(guid4, m4);
IDictionary<Guid, MyObject> d3 = d1.Union(d2) ???

That in d3 there are the following entries:
guid1,m1
guid2,m2
guid3,m3
guid4,m4

A: d1.Union(d2).GroupBy (kvp => kvp.Key).ToDictionary(kvp => kvp.Key, kvp => kvp.First().Value); out to do the trick.
IDictionary<Guid, MyObject> d1 = new Dictionary<Guid, MyObject>();
d1.Add(guid1, m1);
d1.Add(guid2, m2);
d1.Add(guid3, m3);
IDictionary<Guid, MyObject> d2 = new Dictionary<Guid, MyObject>();
d2.Add(guid2, m2);
d2.Add(guid3, m3);
d2.Add(guid4, m4);
IDictionary<Guid, MyObject> d3 =
   d1.Union(d2).GroupBy (kvp => kvp.Key)
       .ToDictionary (kvp => kvp.Key, kvp => kvp.First ().Value);

A: d1.Concat(d2.Where( x=> !d1.Keys.Contains(x.Key)));

A: If you have duplicate key then you'll have to handle duplicate key with the using of where clause.
var result = d1.Union(d2.Where(k => !d1.ContainsKey(k.Key))).ToDictionary(k => k.Key, v => v.Value)

Note : It will not get duplicate key. if there will be any duplicate key than it will get d1's key.

A: You could try something like
d1.Concat(d2).Distinct(kv => kv.Key).ToDictionary(kv => kv.Key, kv => kv.Value)

The result of concat makes use of the fact that the dictionary is an IEnumerable<KeyvaluePair<Guid,MyObject>>
Since I do not have a compiler I just checked that Distinct cannot accept just a lambda selecting the property to be compared. However it can accept an EqualityComparer. What I often have in projects is a Generic Equality Comparer that allows to pass in lambdas which define the equality operation.

A: Union looks good:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vcsharp/aa336761.aspx#union1

A: This will merge unique keys and unique list of values:
d1.Union(d2).GroupBy(g => g.Key).ToDictionary(pair => pair.Key, pair => pair.First().Value.Union(pair.Last().Value).ToList());

A: When no duplicates keys exist, the following works for 2 (or more) dictionaries:
var dictionaries = new [] { d1, d2 };
var result = dictionaries.SelectMany(dict => dict)
                     .ToDictionary(pair => pair.Key, pair => pair.Value);


FirstNet recently announced that Samsung is adding FirstNet access via Band 14 to smartphones and other select mobile devices, starting with the Galaxy S9 and S9+ smartphones.
FirstNet is the nationwide public safety broadband network operated by AT&T and leveraging Band 14 along with the entire AT&T spectrum. Established through legislation in 2012 as part of the First Responder Network Authority, Band 14 ensures a dedicated spectrum in the event of an emergency. Band 14 authorization for public safety is allowed only through a comprehensive certification and approval process managed by FirstNet.
The FirstNet initiative is focused on providing priority and preemption for public safety communications over wireless networks – ensuring that in emergency situations, public safety personnel are able to communicate reliably.
The launch of the Galaxy S9 and S9+ with Band 14 support enables first responders to leverage the newest dedicated spectrum from FirstNet.
I spoke to a variety of public safety officials on the ground to get a first-hand take on the FirstNet announcement, and found a decidedly warm reception.
FirstNet officials have also noted the value of Samsung's commitment. "By ensuring first responders have access to commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) technology via FirstNet, we are also enabling them to take advantage of cost savings and maximize the value of every public safety dollar," FirstNet CTO Jeff Bratcher stated recently.
Access to Band 14 means the Galaxy S9 and S9+ guarantee 20 MHz of broadband spectrum (700 MHz LTE) specifically assigned to public safety to ensure communications during emergencies.
These and future FirstNet-certified Samsung devices will function with priority and preemption both on the Band 14 FirstNet spectrum and across the full AT&T spectrum on its nationwide network.
It's not just the FirstNet readiness that makes Samsung smartphones particularly well suited to public safety. The Galaxy S9 and S9+ are designed to withstand dust, dirt and sand and are resistant to submersion up to a maximum depth of 1.5 meters underwater for up to 30 minutes, meeting the International Electrotechnical Commission's IP68 standard.
Samsung FirstNet-ready devices are ideal communications tools for first responders, capable of delivering high-speed data such as high-resolution digital images, video and GIS data to public safety users. They can also carry core public safety apps such as AskRail (real-time railroad train car data), Active911 (real-time public safety CAD data), WISER (real-time hazmat information) and ESChat (push to talk). Police officers will be able to access critical data and share digital images and live video. Emergency medical providers and hospitals will be able to conduct telemedicine in rural communities. Firefighters will be able to share real-time situational awareness and track the location of firefighters on the fireground.
Samsung has shown itself to be deeply committed to public safety and has partnerships with many leading providers of public safety software such as BlueLine Grid, Blueforce Development and InCadence Solutions. The Galaxy S9 and S9+ are powerful devices that truly deliver on the promise and potential of FirstNet — and I look forward to seeing how this collaboration expands with other advanced Band 14/FirstNet-ready mobile devices in the years ahead.
Learn more about Samsung's public safety technology and partnerships that are improving officer safety and access to information.


If you withdraw from your course now, do you start paying back your student loan straight away or do you have to be earning over so much?. Do you also pay the full lot of it back?
Left my masters course, what will happen with student finance?
Huh? How come you guys have to pay your loans back if youve only used 1yr out of your 4? I thought you didnt have to start until you graduated?
so you are under the impression that if you don't graduate you never pay anything back are you?
That's what your post sounds like!
The OP has dropped out so will be required to pay back.
In the case of the second they should not be paying anything back yet, you are correct.
If you drop out this academic year, your loan will become eligible for repayment from April 2012. After that time, any time your earnings are over the threshold, a repayment will be taken directly from your pay packet. Nothing will be repaid until next April unless you've received an overpayment that you'll need to arrange to repay separately.
I am now wanting to drop out of my first year of my degree, its not been the course I expected at all, I am not working as I have small children, and I have had loan as well as a full grant, I would be interested to know if anyone has been in a a similar situation and has had to pay back the grant straight away if you do not complete the last term? and also I was under the impression that I would not have to pay back the loans until I was earning over £15,000?
the parts of any grants and the loan from when you drop out to September will need to repaid immediately.
Its my boyfriend that wanted to withdraw from his course, i went with him to see our university financial advisor today and he said he would have to pay about £500 out of his maintenance grant back for this term. Apparently he won't start paying the loan part back until he earns over 15,000 and he will also receive the final bursary but this will be deducted off his loan repayment.
Any portion of loan/grant allocated from the date you withdraw to the end of the year will need repaying immediately so don't spend it if you haven't already. If you don't have the money, you must contact them to set up a repayment plan. You won't be eligible for any more student loans until the overpayment is repaid.
I spoke to my uni and the SLC today and was told that I will not have to pay anything back until I am earning 15 grand a year, and that I will not have to pay any of the grants back at all, also because I am not happy with the course If the uni find my complaint valid I was told that the debt for the first year will be totally written off. My course finishes on in 5 weeks .
I would get that in writing from the SLC, they are known to give false information on the phone.
Sounds like typical dodgy phone advice. If you have completed the whole year, nothing should be repayable. If you have left early, there will be money owing outside of normal repayment procedures.
oh dear, I wouldn't get your hopes up!!!!!
I did tell the advisor my concerns and asked that she double check that I would not have to repay the remaining 5 weeks left, and she did go and ask someone else to look at my account and then confirmed it again, I asked to have it in writing as well, I did say that I wanted it on record that this was the information which I had been told and that I did not want any come back from it, so we shall see, I know what a pain the SLC company is and there are use to me putting in complaints..
Rang the slc again today as I was very concerned that I had been given the wrong information... and yes I had.. and will have to payback the overpaid maintenance loan and grant for the five weeks , I have no idea how much it will be as they have to calculate it, but I am not happy that they have messed me about , but thanks for you advice .
I rang them a few weeks ago as I am hoping to leave my course and start a new one in September. Even though I am completing the academic year SLC told me I would have to pay back any grants and loans that were meant for the period between when I withdraw from the course through to September. That will be about 10 weeks, which is a lot of money.
Dropping out of uni - Repayment of finance.

1.2 The types of information that we may be required to handle include details of current, past and prospective suppliers and customers and others that we communicate with. The information, which may be held on paper or on a computer or other media, is subject to certain legal safeguards specified in the Data Protection Act 1998 and the General Data Protection Regulation EU 2016/679 as updated and amended from time to time (the "Data Protection Legislation"). The Data Protection Legislation imposes restrictions on how we may use that information. There are also further restrictions contained in the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 and the E-Privacy Directive 2002/58/EC.
1.3 This policy does not form part of any contract and it may be amended at any time. Any breach of this policy will be taken seriously and may result in disciplinary action.
2. Status of THIS policy
2.1 This policy sets out our rules on data protection and the legal conditions that must be satisfied in relation to the obtaining, handling, processing, storage, transportation and destruction of personal information.
2.2 The Data Protection Officer is responsible for ensuring compliance with the Data Protection Legislation and with this policy. That post is held by the Financial Director Paul Charman. Any questions or concerns about the operation of this policy should be referred in the first instance to the Data Protection Officer.
2.3 If you consider that the policy has not been followed in respect of Personal Data about yourself or others you should raise the matter with your Celador Contact or the Data Protection Officer immediately as we have a legal duty to report any Data Protection Legislation breaches.
3. Definition of data protection terms
3.1 Data is information which is stored electronically, on a computer or mobile device, or in certain paper-based filing systems.
Data Subjects for the purpose of this policy include all living individuals about whom we 1.1 hold personal data. All Data Subjects who are in the European Union are entitled to these protections regardless of where we are based. All Data Subjects have legal rights in relation to their personal data.
1.2 Personal Data means data relating to a living individual who can be identified from that data (or from that data and other information which we have access to). Personal Data can be factual (such as a name, address, or online identifier).
1.3 Data Controllers are the people who or organisations which determine the purposes for which, and the manner in which, any Personal Data is processed, whether alone or jointly with another. They have a responsibility to establish practices and policies in line with the Data Protection Legislation. We are the Data Controller of all Personal Data used in our business.
1.4 Data Users include Celador employees whose work involves using personal data. Data Users have a duty to protect the information they handle by following our data protection and security policies at all times.
1.5 Data Processors include any person who processes Personal Data on behalf of a Data Controller. Employees of Data Controllers are excluded from this definition but it could include suppliers which handle Personal Data on our behalf. Data Processors have additional obligations to Data Controllers under the Data Protection Legislation which they must comply with.
1.6 Processing is any activity that involves use of the data. It includes obtaining, recording or holding the data, or carrying out any operation or set of operations on the data including organising, amending, retrieving, using, disclosing, erasing or destroying it. Processing also includes transferring Personal Data to third parties. We may use third party processing of some of our clients personal data for example accounting processes where information is housed on with an external company. Celador have taken steps to ensure that third parties are compliant with data protection and privacy. Third party privacy policy documents are available on request from the Data Protection Officer. We will not forward customer or supplier personal information for any other commercial purpose other than those required by us to run our day to day processes.
Sensitive Personal Data includes information about a person's racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or similar beliefs, trade union membership, physical or mental health or condition or sexual life, 1.1 genetic data, biometric data, or about the commission of, or proceedings for, any offence committed or alleged to have been committed by that person, the disposal of such proceedings or the sentence of any court in such proceedings. Sensitive Personal Data can only be processed under strict conditions, and will usually require the express consent of the person concerned. Celador do not hold any sensitive personal data relating to clients or suppliers.
2. Data protection principles
2.1 Anyone processing Personal Data must comply with the principles of the Data Protection Legislation. The Personal Data of Data Subjects must be:
(a) processed lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner;
(b) collected for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes and not further processed in a manner that is incompatible with those purposes;
(c) adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which it is processed;
(d) accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date;
(e) kept for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which it is processed; and
(f) processed in a way that is appropriately secure, including protecting it against unauthorised or unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction or damage.
2.2 Personal Data must always be processed in accordance with the Data Subjects rights and must not be transferred to a country outside of the European Union unless that country's data protection standards have been recognised as being adequate.
3. Fair and Lawful Processing
3.1 The Data Protection Legislation is intended not to prevent the processing of personal data, but to ensure that it is done fairly and without adversely affecting the rights of the Data Subject. The Data Subject must be told who the Data Controller is (in this case: Celador Radio Limited), who the Data Controller's representative is (in this case the Data Protection Officer), the purpose for which the data is to be processed by us, and the identities of anyone to whom the data may be disclosed or transferred.
For Personal Data to be processed lawfully, certain conditions have to be met. This may 1.1 include requirements that the Data Subject has consented to the processing, or that the processing is necessary for a particular reason such as our legal obligations or performance of a contract which the Data Subject is a party to. Sensitive Personal Data cannot be processed unless the Data Subject has given explicit consent or the processing is otherwise permitted by the Data Protection Legislation.
2. Processing for limited purposes
2.1 Personal Data may only be processed for the specific purposes notified to the Data Subject when the data was first collected or for any other purposes specifically permitted by the Data Protection Legislation. This means that Personal Data must not be collected for one purpose and then used for another. If it becomes necessary to change the purpose for which the data is processed, the Data Subject must be informed of the new purpose before any processing occurs.
3. Adequate, relevant and non-excessive processing
3.1 Personal Data should only be collected to the extent that it is required for the specific purpose notified to the Data Subject. Any data which is not necessary for that purpose should not be collected in the first place.
4. Accurate data
4.1 Personal Data must be accurate and kept up to date. Information which is incorrect or misleading is not accurate and steps should therefore be taken to check the accuracy of any Personal Data at the point of collection and at regular intervals afterwards. Inaccurate or out-of-date data should be destroyed.
5. Timely processing
5.1 Personal Data should not be kept longer than is necessary for the purpose. This means that data should be destroyed or erased from our systems when it is no longer required. Client and supplier's personal contact information will be reviewed annually and where no contract or purpose and legal basis for holding contact information exists details will be removed permanently from Celador's systems.
6. Processing in line with Data Subject's rights
6.1 Data must be processed in line with Data Subjects' rights. Data Subjects have a right to:-
(a) Be informed of their rights and how their data will be processed;
(a) Request access to any data held about them by a Data Controller;
(b) Prevent the processing of their data for direct-marketing purposes;
(c) Ask to have inaccurate data amended;
(d) Request to have all of their data deleted (the right to be forgotten);
(e) Object to their data being processed for particular reasons including profiling; and
(f) Request that their data is transferred to another Data Controller (this could include a competitor of ours).
2.1 We must ensure that appropriate security measures are taken against unlawful or unauthorised processing of Personal Data, and against the accidental loss of, or damage to, Personal Data. Data Subjects may apply to the courts for compensation if they have suffered damage from such a loss and we may incur large fines if we are in breach of the Data Protection Legislation.
2.2 The Data Protection Legislation requires us to put in place procedures and technologies to maintain the security of all Personal Data from the point of collection to the point of destruction. Personal Data may only be transferred to a third-party Data Processor if he agrees to comply with those procedures and policies, or if he puts in place adequate measures himself. We may only transfer data to a country outside of the European Union where they have been recognised as having adequate protections in place.
2.3 Maintaining data security means guaranteeing the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the Personal Data, defined as follows:-
(a) "Confidentiality" means that only people who are authorised to use the data can access it;
(b) "Integrity" means that Personal Data should be accurate and suitable for the purpose for which it is processed; and
(c) "Availability" means that authorised users should be able to access the data if they need it for authorised purposes. Personal Data should therefore be stored in a way which means that it is only accessible by those who need access to it.
2.4 Security procedures include:-
(a) Encryption: Ensuring that all Personal Data which we process is encrypted.
(b) Data Backup: All Personal Data must be backed up so that if data is destroyed accidentally it can be restored.
(c) Entry Controls: Any stranger seen in entry-controlled areas should be reported.
(d) Secure Lockable Desks and Cupboards: Desks and cupboards should be kept locked if they hold confidential information of any kind. (Personal Data is always considered confidential.)
(e) Methods of Disposal: Paper documents should be shredded. Any electronic equipment capable of storing Personal Data should be securely wiped and disposed of appropriately.
(f) Equipment: Data Users should ensure that individual monitors do not show confidential information to passers-by and that they log off from their PC when it is left unattended.
2. Dealing with Requests for Information
2.1 A formal request from a Data Subject for information that we hold about them must be made in writing. Any member of staff who receives a written request should forward it to the Data Protection Officer immediately.
3. Providing information over the telephone
3.1 Any member of staff dealing with telephone enquiries should be careful about disclosing any Personal Data held by us. In particular they should:-
(a) Check the caller's identity to make sure that information is only given to a person who is entitled to it;
(b) Suggest that the caller puts their request in writing if they are not sure about the caller's identity and where their identity cannot be checked; and
(c) Refer to the Data Protection Officer for assistance in difficult situations. No-one should be bullied into disclosing Personal Data.

Salman Khan's look from his upcoming release Bharat is finally here and it features the actor looking all intense and rugged in grey hair.
Bharat is one of the biggest releases of the year, which is being directed by Ali Abbas Zafar. Apart from Salman, the film features Katrina Kaif as the female lead, along with Disha Patani, Sunil Grover and Jackie Shroff in pivotal roles.
According to reports, the Dabangg actor will be seen sporting five different looks in the film, spanning 60 years, including a crucial part which will showcase the actor in his late 20s, looking much leaner and younger.
Meanwhile, Salman and Katrina were last seen together in Tiger Zinda Hai.
The trailer of Bharat will be out on April 24, while the film is slated to hit the screens on Eid this year.


Thus, as Dr. Forest Tennant explains in this issue, genetic variation in many substrates and mechanisms may be linked to phenotypic distinctions in pain and response to analgesic pharmacotherapeutic agents.6 Understanding these mechanisms and patterns of variability could provide insights that reduce uncertainties related to both pain and its pharmacologic care. This individual variation can make prescribing and maintaining safe and effective regimens of opioids and adjunctive analgesics complicated, at the very least—problematic and precarious at worst.
The Human Genome Project was instrumental to establishing a sustained interest in translating population-wide genomic data into informational resource(s) that could be accessed and applied to develop and enable patient-specific care. This established genomics (the study of the spectrum of genes present in a group or individual relevant to patterns of physiological and/or behavioral functions or conditions) and genetics (study of individual and inter-individual expressions of inheritance) as viable clinical approaches—and set the stage for the formalization and momentum of personalized medicine. The Decade of the Brain Project channeled genomics into clinical genetics of neurology and psychiatry, and these techniques and technologies were engaged in studies of pain and analgesic drug effects during the Decade of Pain Control and Research.

Our Pick of 2015's Best New UNESCO Sites – Part I
By Claire Wilde on	 August 12, 2015 Destinations
Founded in 1978, the UNESCO World Heritage Site program started off with just twelve sites. Now, the list has reached an impressive 1,031, with the latest 24 additions added in early July. It's amazing to see the world taking an interest in its historic treasures and making a conscious effort to protect and preserve their beauty for future generations. To celebrate UNESCO's latest efforts we've put together a collection of some of our favourite new additions that now feature on the official list. From the ancient winemaking regions of France and the colonial Spanish missions of San Antonio to the oriental splendour of the Baekje Kingdom and the majesty of Jamaican mountains, the list encompasses both cultural and natural wonders from across the globe.
The best thing about our top picks is the fact that they're easily accessible to everyday travellers in search of unique experiences. Plenty of cruise ships visit these countries and shore, pre and post voyage excursions are the perfect way to discover them.
Champagne Hillsides, Houses and Cellars
Since the Middle Ages France's Champagne region has been producing premium quality sparkling wine. The concept was first dreamt up in 1531 by Benedictine monks residing at the Abbey of Saint-Hilaire, however 17th century monk turned cellar master Dom Perignon generally takes the most credit for refining production and quality control. It appears that the UNESCO team also have an appreciation for the iconic drop and have now welcomed historic vineyards, houses and cellars located in the Champagne province to the official list. Cheers to that!
Par Force Hunting Landscape
In Denmark's east lies one of the country's most expansive hunting forests, purposefully designed, landscaped and grown for Danish kings and their courts in the Middle Ages. They're still prospering today and are used to practice par force hunting, a style of pursuit that utilises hounds to track down an animal's scent. The distinctive grid layout is designed to help hunting parties spot animals and get a clean shot. As well as the woods themselves the area is peppered with Baroque style lodges, houses and decorative elements that will also be protected under the new UNESCO listing.
Baekje Historic Areas
The south-western portion of the Korean peninsula fell under the rule of the Baekje Kingdom for almost 700 years, reaching its pinnacle in the fourth century. In 660 the kingdom was finally defeated by the Tang Dynasty, however that didn't stop the Baekje legacy from enduring in the majestic mountains of western Korea. Today the landscape is home to eight crumbling sites that echo the cultural and artistic influences of Korea, China and Japan. These include the Gongsanseong fortress, a handful of royal tombs, the lavish royal palace and the Naseong city wall.
San Antonio Missions
Spanning across a twenty-three-mile stretch of the San Antonio River, these missions have a history dating back to the early 18th century. The quintet of Spanish complexes was founded by Franciscan missionaries in a bid to honour the newly established Spanish crown. Both Catholic and Coahuiltecan cultures shine through in the designs which blend traditional Catholic symbolism with organic influences drawn from the local Texan landscape. A definite favourite among history buffs!
Blue and John Crow Mountains
Rugged and wild, the dramatic terrain of Blue and John Crow Mountains National Park is both culturally and naturally significant for the people of Jamaica's northeast Kingston. The indigenous Taino people found much needed refuge in the mountains during European colonisation where they escaped enslavement using a complex network of trails, hideouts and miniature colonies. Thanks to the lush and fertile landscape the runaways were able to comfortably live off the land. Today, it's famous for its incredible biodiversity featuring rare butterflies, endangered birds, threatened snakes and small mammals. Nature lovers rejoice because this is definitely one of UNESCO's most eco-friendly additions to date.
