I've noticed that with age, the propriety filters of people tend to get neutralized. I'm around my mom's friends regularly, who are all in their 90s, and they simply don't care much about impressing people. They offer a lot of remarks that leave one a bit speechless. Since gray hair has overtaken me, that must be the sign that I am willing to launch into subject matter that I might have deemed a bit dicey in the past. One of those volatile areas is the increasingly loud arena of what it means to live in a world where faith traditions are colliding in increasingly violent ways. Read the rest.
Watch President Klaus discuss moving past Ferguson on KOLR10 News
It's been months since the shooting and outrage in Ferguson, Missouri. While the discussion is still fresh, the news team at KOLR10 News thought it would be good to have some courageous conversations with local leaders, including AGTS President Byron Klaus. Watch the clip.
AGTS Intercultural studies cohort is a veritable Who's Who of notable participants
Intercultural Communication & Missions Anthropology
class led by professor and missionary Dr. Beth Grant
Missionaries to far-flung locales and denominational leaders are just a sampling of the remarkable individuals participating in the Intercultural Studies doctoral cohort at AGTS this year.
As a missionary to Harlem, New York, Mimsie Robinson also pastors a bilingual church that reaches West Africans. He hails from the United Pentecostal Council of the Assemblies of God (a fellowship the Assemblies of God made historic reconciliation with in 2014). Other cohort missionaries include Crystal Reece, a United Pentecostal Church missionary to Tonga; Rocco Ditrolio, a AGWM missionary in Argentina; Steve Entsminger, a AGWM missionary to Spain and Deborah Seler who, with her husband, are directors of CINCEL, a language and cultural training center in Costa Rica.

Erin Heatherton Nude Cell Phone Photos Leaked
Victoria's Secret model and former Leonardo DiCaprio sex toy, Erin Heatherton nude cell phone pictures and video leaked online.
As you can see in the video below, Erin Heatherton films herself seductively playing with her perky little tits while laying in bed. Oddly enough Erin appears to have shot this video in the hopes of seducing 1920's film star Charlie Chaplin.
Erin managed to not make a complete fool out of herself with her cell phone leaks, as she also photographed herself in various states of nakedness. Of course Erin couldn't resist putting more crappy filters on her photos, but at least they look like they were taken within the last 90 years.
Erin Heatherton (born Erin Heather Bubley; March 4, 1989) is an American fashion model and actress. She is best known for her work for lingerie retailer Victoria's Secret.
Heatherton was born and raised in Skokie, Illinois, the daughter of Laura (née Stein) and Mark Bubley. Her family is Jewish, and she attended Solomon Schechter Day School, a Jewish day school, as well as Niles North High School.
Heatherton was discovered by modelling scout Arri Taylor while vacationing with a friend on South Beach, Miami. At the age of 17 Heatherton moved to New York City and signed with the Marilyn Agency. In September 2006 she launched her career in New York City, walking for Diane von Fürstenberg. She has since walked for Prada, Stella McCartney, Chanel, Tommy Hilfiger, Marc Jacobs, Jason Wu, Carolina Herrera, Michael Kors, Christian Lacroix, Lacoste, Valentino, Oscar de la Renta, Zac Posen, Dolce & Gabbana, Moschino, L.A.M.B., Elie Saab, Carmen Marc Valvo, Derek Lam, Etro, Isaac Mizrahi, and others.
At the age of 17, she booked her first cover with Italian Flair. She has since appeared on the covers of D, Grazia, Velvet, Elle Czech, Elle Russia, Elle France, Elle Serbia, GQ Spain, GQ Germany, Beauty in Vogue, Rush, Flair Austria, and Muse. She also appeared on the cover of British GQ, GQ Mexico, GQ Russia, GQ Romania, and GQ China alongside fellow Victoria's Secret Angels Candice Swanepoel, Lindsay Ellingson, and Lily Aldridge. Additionally, she has appeared in editorials for Mixte, British Elle, Interview, Italian D, Numero, V, Italian Marie Claire, and Harper's Bazaar.
Heatherton's campaigns include Chopard, XOXO, Diesel, Versace, Lord & Taylor, Blanco, BLK DNM, John Galliano, H&M, Blugirl, Lacoste, Armani, Liu-Jo, Valentino, Karl Lagerfeld, Osiris, Pronovias, and Dolce & Gabbana.
Heatherton is a featured supermodel on the Victoria's Secret website. She walked in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show from 2008 to 2013. In 2010, Heatherton was officially contracted as a Victoria's Secret Angel until 2013. Heatherton has appeared on several television ads for the brand, and has been a featured face for many of the brands campaigns, including a sole featuring billboard in New York City for the company's Showstopper launch. She has appeared at many of the brand's press tours and store events.
In September 2007 Heatherton was named one of the best new girls of the season by Elle.com, selected by casting director Douglas Perrett. That same month she was also named one of the season's up-and-comers by WWD.
As of December 2013 Heatherton is ranked No. 15 on Models.com top 25 sexiest models list.
In 2013 it was announced that Heatherton left Marilyn agency to sign with IMG.

We collected Joe on the Saturday.
He's just three years old, with a sparkle in his eyes; we instantly adored him. We'd borrowed a float (that's a trailer for my UK friends), and driven three hours to Canberra to collect him.
Arriving back to 70 acres of lush grass and three other playful horses, Joe's in horsey heaven. We spent a glorious evening showing him around the land, the creeks (didn't want to get his feet wet) and introducing him to the other inmates!
On the front of Joe's back leg a nasty gash gaped at me.
The vet could stick her entire finger into the wound (once Joe was sedated). Bega vet's don't have the facilities for this, the vet had said. So off we went back to Canberra – to the Equine Hospital.
Joe looked around as I urged him back onto the float. He didn't want to leave and I could feel his distress with being asked to go.
On the float/trailer, ready for the trip back to Canberra - to the hospital.
'I promise to bring you home,' I whispered in his ear, not knowing if I would.
After numerous x-rays we could see that by some miracle the wound had missed his joint my about one millimeter – that would have been a very different story, but we still had a long way to go. With umpteen injections (I lost count) a good clean and a few stitches, we headed home the same day.
There was nothing on our land when we purchased it – we'd only just erected a caravan and container; there' no stables, no fenced paddocks, nothing to keep a young horse still for several weeks of recuperation.
Joe's face lit up when we backed him out of the trailer/float. Pumped full of pain-killers and seeing he was back in horsey heaven I could feel his excitement.
By tractor head-light we built a small coral for Joe, putting Dom with him for company.
Two weeks of hell ensued. All Joe knew of us is that we hurt him every single day with three injections. The muscle ones were easier than the vein jab. But each time we approached him he tensed, his muscles became rigid and he began to hate us.
Happier moments with his new buddies.
With eight days of jabs in total, at day five we needed help and called the vet. Joe had bitten Noel just through desperation. I wondered if he'd ever forgive us. Would we ruin a gentle horse, turn him into an angry beast?
I rang the specialist on the 6th day and she said that we could stop injecting him. The full course would be better but six days of heavy duty drugs should be enough.
The relief was all encompassing. For all of us. Strung out and emotional Noel and I now hoped we could start bonding with Joe.
Two weeks later the stitches were removed. It had been a struggle to keep a young horse from moving too much. But by this time he was still fed-up with us and the vet sedated him in order to remove his bandages.
Just two hours after they were removed the wound opened up. I fell apart, imagining the entire process starting again. With the bills starting to come in, I wasn't sure we could do it.
We'd given Joe a tranqulizer paste prior to the vet attending. That's Dom on the left falling asleep and Joe on the right with no affect from the paste whatsoever!
We couldn't treat Joe's wound. He'd lash out violently with his back leg. There was some close calls. I watched as a hoof whizzed close-by to my head. But he could have got us if he wanted to, these were warning shots so far. He'd simply had enough.
Noel quickly built a shelter between the caravan and container (I tried to help between treating Joe). We needed somewhere to keep his wound dry.
Mission followed by minor miracle!
I spent the night worrying, it was up to me to save this horse now. I had to clean his wound.
With determination, patience and hope, I spent eight hours with Joe, with regular breaks.
I spoke to him, rubbed his legs one by one. Every time he didn't pull back, every time he relaxed, I stopped. This is called desensitizing.
Eventually I could lift each of his feet, something we'd not been able to do since the jabs. Finally, I could rest my hand over his cut. Just proving I was there to help him heal not hurt him.
He sighed a lot, he threatened occasionally, but after a very long, gentle, quiet and exhausting day for us both – I felt I'd made progress.
Joe let me treat his wound twice a day without any bother and without having to tie him up. At last we'd bonded and he learned to trust me.
His cut is almost healed and he gallops around the paddocks every day with head tosses and bucks of glee.
Joe's a city horse and is startled by the rolling hills, copious grass, freedom and fun he's having. But he's not crossed water before and to stay with the herd and drink, he needs to be familiar with them – that is our next huge challenge.
Just one of the creeks Joe has to learn to cross. This is just after a huge deluge of rain - we'll start him off when this calms down a bit!
For now, Joe's here to stay – I kept my promises!

Dogs, disaster, and ABC
March 1, 2001 Dylan Forest Leave a comment
AHMEDABAD, CHENNAI, THIRUVALLUR, VISAKHAPATNAM, India–Rocky the pet Pomeranian of Bhachau bank employee Narsinhbhai Bhati was among the first heroes of the January 26 earthquake that killed as many as 30,000 people in Kutch district, Gujarat state, India.
Away at a Republic Day celebration, Bhati ran back toward his home, but could not identify it among more than 500 rubble heaps where 600 houses had stood. Then he heard Rocky bark. Digging toward the barking, Bhati pulled his wife and two sons out of the debris, unconscious but expected to live. A daughter was dead.
Though he could have escaped at any time, and was injured himself, Rocky waited until all of his humans were freed before pulling himself out. Then he escorted Bhati's wife and sons to the Mehsana civil hospital, remaining with them through their recovery.
"My dog sleeps with my cook. That morning the dog kept pawing him, pulling his clothes and barking him out of bed. Just then the tremors came," World Wildlife Fund-India conservator Shivang Patel told Purba Kality of The Times of India.
Kality and other reporters described dogs, cats, the elephants at the Kamala Nehru Zoological Park in Ahmedabad, and even the Asiatic lions, leopards, chitals, deer and snakes of the Gir forest doing what ever they could before the quake, not only to save themselves but to give warning.
The street dogs of Kutch went uncelebrated by name, and mostly unfed in the shortages that followed the quake, but were everywhere in the background of photos and video, sniffing and pawing rubble. Perhaps they only wanted food, or to find lost puppies and pack-mates.
But the reason rescuers soon arrived from around the world with trained sniffing dogs is that rescue experts have learned from past disasters that even un-trained dogs tend to be the first to find buried survivors, the last to stop looking, and the most depressed when they only find the dead.
Amid the many collections begun to help human earthquake victims, Animal Help Foundation coordinator Rahul Sehgal is accepting aid for the animals c/o The Retreat, Opposite Underbridge, Shahibag, Ahmedabad 380004, India; telephone 91-79-2867698; mobile 9824034241; e-mail <rahool@icenet.net>.
Also aiding the animals of Kutch are Bonny and Ratilal Shah, c/o Ahimsa of Texas, 1875 Ottinger Road, Roanoke, TX 76262; phone 817-379-0969; fax 817-379-0969.; <ahimsatx@aol.com>.
Ratilal Shah, an art dealer originally from Kutch, returned in late February to help rebuild the homes, lives, and businesses of about 60 craftspeople whose work he has long imported for sale in the U.S. He explained to ANIMAL PEOPLE that this will be done with his personal funds. Two separate accounts will handle aid for animals and aid for orphaned children.
The World Society for the Protection of Animals announced that it would send personnel to the disaster area–but ANIMAL PEOPLE is in receipt of information indicating that as little as 1.5% of funds WSPA has raised in connection with other projects in India has actually been spent there.
The Animal Welfare Board of India estimated that as many as 17,000 cattle died in the earthquake itself, while another 13,000 were at risk from starvation and dehydration. "There is practically nobody left to attend to the animals, as their owners are themselves piecing together their lives. Often animals have lost their owners," said Gujarat SPCA representative Snehal Bhatt.
Maneka Gandhi, Minister of State for Social Justice and Empowerment, sent $7,500 to buy fodder, but even finding means of hauling hay into the worst-hit parts of Kutch was reportedly difficult.
As all eyes were on Kutch, city officials in Thiruvallur, near Chennai in the south of India, killed more than 1,200 street dogs and about 50 pigs in alleged direct violation of Indian law. The pigs were shot. The dogs were snared and injected with cyanide.
"The killing focussed attention on the failure of the Animal Birth Control program ordered by the state government of Tamil Nadu in the wake of mass killings of dogs in Porur [another city] two years ago," wrote P. Oppoli of The Hindu. "No municipality has created infrastructure for the ABC program, which is to be done with the help of nonprofit animal welfare organizations."
The nonprofits are, however, doing their share, led by the Blue Cross of India in Chennai. People for Animals and the Animal Welfare & Protection Trust also operate active ABC programs in Chennai and the Chennai suburb of Santhoshapuram. The ABC approach, pioneered by the Blue Cross of India beginning in 1964, is essentially free or heavily subsidized neuter/return: sterilized and vaccinated dogs and cats go back to their neighborhoods to remain on duty as India's first line of defense against vermin, and sometimes as community pets or guard animals. Because ABC works, and has proven cost-effective in the long run, it was adopted as Indian national policy in December 1997, and has spread under various names and auspices throughout the world, as an increasingly popular alternative to killing street dogs–and to North American and European-style animal control impoundment.
As Gerardo Vicente, DVM, explained of the Costa Rica-based McKee Project at the 2000 No Kill Conference in Tucson, Arizona, "We in the underdeveloped world cannot afford to build huge shelters. That would be a waste of our resources and would not lead to solving our street dog problems. We can, however, afford to sterilize and vaccinate the dogs, so that we do not need big shelters and do not have too many dogs."
The McKee Project is essentially an ABC program, reinvented in Latin America. So are the Mascotas de La Paz weekend neutering clinics, held in La Paz, Mexico, as often as patrons Gary and Sharon Worthington can rally the resources. So are the city dog-neutering programs repeatedly started by Bangkok, Thailand, the latest incarnation of which uses mobile veterinary units staffed by Buddhist monks. Setting up at temples, each unit expects to sterilize and vaccinate about 20 dogs per day, building on the success of a similarly structured vaccination-only program run by the Thai Department of Livestock Development. Since 1980 the vaccination program has reduced the annual human toll from rabies in Thailand from about 370 per year to under 50.
Previous Bangkok ABC efforts have faltered due to short funds, especially after the 1997 collapse of the Thai stock market, but Thai officials are reportedly convinced of their value. Monks have been brought into the current six-million-baht ($160,000) project in the belief that they will provide more public service per baht than government employees.
The 70% solution
Around the world, the overwhelming weight of evidence affirms that aggressive neuter/return is the fastest way to lastingly reduce street dog and cat populations–but the reduction does not become evident until after more than 70% of the dogs or cats in a particular neighborhood have been sterilized, because to that point the reduction in births to some animals makes more food available to others who are pregnant or nursing. Thus the reduction is offset by greater survival of offspring born to the unsterilized mothers. At the 70%-neutered threshhold, which is coincidentally the same as the percentage of animals who must be vaccinated to stop the spread of rabies, street dogs and cats are no longer collectively fecund enough that births race ahead of normal mortality.
Accordingly, a successful ABC program must aim to fix 70% as rapidly as possible. If the program does not sterilize 70% within the time span of one breeding cycle, it may actually contribute to population growth. As few programs are capable of neutering 70% of the animals in a whole city within one breeding cycle, a block-by-block and neighborhood-by-neighborhood approach tends to be most effective, and tends to produce visible results soon enough to maintain public faith in the concept.
Otherwise, the appearance of growing numbers of adult dogs and/or cats may increase public demands for killing–even if no new puppies and kittens are being born. Most of the public is not afraid of puppies and kittens; many are afraid of larger animals, and especially of dogs, no matter how well-behaved, who loiter in packs.
That happened recently in Bucharest, Romania, where the most ambitious ABC program in Europe, described in the November 1999 edition of ANIMAL PEOPLE by guest columnist Chuck Todaro, failed to prevent Romanian prime minister Adrian Nastase and Bucharest mayor Traian Basescu from decreeing a street dog purge, to begin on March 1.
An estimated 300,000 dogs roam Bucharest, a city of 2.2 million people. They bite about 23,000 people per year, say officials. Early reports indicated that Nastase and Basescu wanted to kill all the free-roaming dogs. The purge is now to kill only the 10% who seem to be unowned, uncared for, diseased, and/or vicious, Basescu told Agence France Presse and Washington Post correspondent Peter Finn. Impounded dogs are to be held for 10 days before being killed, on the chance that someone may claim them.
Observers including former film star turned animal defender Brigitte Bardot are skeptical. Capturing, holding, and killing even 30,000 dogs will require setting up a substantial bureaucracy–and a convenient source of political patronage jobs. The "temporary" animal control program is accordingly likely to become permanent. As self-perpetuation will require a self-perpetuating street dog population, at least some participants in the ABC program are not optimistic about receiving continued official cooperation.
Biting, fighting
The problems of India may or may not be more difficult than those of Romania, which has no comparable 3,000-year-old tradition of kindness toward animals to temper response, but India is about 50 times larger, and the Bucharest experience is often echoed. Hue-and-cry that ABC programs are failing and that dogs should be killed has risen recently in Bangalore, Delhi, Hyderabad, Lucknow, Ludhiana, Mumbai, Mysore, Patna, Pune, Rajkot, and Visakhapatnam, among other cities, usually after an outbreak of rabies or a fatal dog attack.
Often the ABC programs are demonstrably successful in statistical terms, despite low budgets, poorly trained veterinarians who can only fix animals at about 10% of the usual pace at U.S. clinics, severe sanitation problems, and an acute lack of antibiotics. They "fail" in the views of public, politicians, and often unsympathetic media when they fail to employ at least as many people as the municipal dog-catching programs they replace, fail to pay kickbacks to local power brokers, fail to visibly reduce the dog population even though the dogs may all be fixed, and fail to prevent all severe biting incidents, some of which are inevitable when an officially estimated 25 million unowned dogs (and countless owned but wandering dogs) share the streets with a billion people.
Indian street dogs actually bite remarkably seldom, inflicting only about 1.5 million reported injuries per year–barely twice the U.S. total. But canine rabies, rare in the U.S., kills 60,000 Indian people per year, two-thirds of them children, plus countless dogs. Post-exposure vaccination for human victims is supposed to be free, but the victims often do not report bites until too late–or may not get treatment without paying bribes.
Chiefly for economic reasons, India still relies upon the immunoglobin vaccine developed by Louis Pasteur, instead of the more easily administered and more effective vaccine developed by the late Charles Meriaux [see obituaries, page 22]. Further, India produces only 120 litres of the vaccine per year, compared to annual demand of 1,500 litres, Association for Prevention and Control of Rabies in India president M.K. Sudarshan, M.D. charged at a national conference held in Delhi on World Rabies Day 2000. Competition among humane groups for scarce resources, familiar in the U.S. as well as India, helps kill-the-dogs factions to divide-and-conquer.
Finally, India and Romania may both have become surrogate battlefields in the conventional animal control versus no-kill philosophical and political struggle underway in the U.S., Canada, and western Europe. The Humane Society of the U.S. and PETA, the largest U.S. advocates of animal population control killing by lethal injection, have both begun to make their weight felt abroad in places where no-kill is struggling to replace high-volume killing by cruder methods.
The no-kill approach prevailed in Bucharest, for example, from the first involvement by the Fondation Brigitte Bardot in 1996 until the Humane Society of the U.S./Humane Society International sent advisors–with the chance to test the experimental injectible sterilants Neutrosol and Spay-Safe as a lure–in November 1999. Nastase and Basescu first announced mass killing almost exactly one year later.
In India, the Visakha SPCA, profiled in the January/February 2001 edition of ANIMAL PEOPLE, replaced high-volume dog electrocutions by Visakhapatnam municipal employees with an ABC program in November 1998. Starting with almost nothing, founder Pradeep Kumar Nath within two years had the Visakha SPCA performing sterilization surgery at one of the highest volumes in India.
Taking help wherever offered, Nath in September 2000 accepted the loan of veterinary assistant Teresa Gibbs from PETA. Nath was unaware at the time that PETA opposes no-kill sheltering and neuter/return programs, and that Gibbs had apparently served PETA mostly as a euthanasia technician.
Within two weeks Gibbs accused Nath in an e-mail to a French donor of cruelly keeping a crippled dog named Tiger alive. A month later ANIMAL PEOPLE saw first-hand that Tiger, a remarkably boisterous and happy dog, could move faster on two good legs than most dogs run on four.
Many more clashes followed. On Christmas Eve 2000, irate villagers apparently roused by the former dog electrocutioner stormed the Visakha SPCA's ABC clinic. Gibbs appeared heroic, taking a punch in the face while defending a caged dog–but in late January, Visakha SPCA trustee Sarada Buddhiraju caught Gibbs advising the villagers about tactics for evicting the ABC program from the community.
Dismissing Gibbs, Nath soon thereafter learned that someone was somehow covertly attaching pornography and obscene messages in American slang to his outbound e-mails. Whether or not there was any link, the e-mail sabotage seemed symbolic of cultures which will inevitably conflict.


Ahoy there! Join this crew of pirates on a high-seas quest for treasure. These salty dogs are off to fetch some gold, and no whale, skeleton, or thunderstorm can stand in their way. But our brave buccaneers best beware―there may be even more trouble ahead! With Kelly DiPucchio's fun, rhyming text and Jay Fleck's bright illustrations, We're Going on a Treasure Hunt is a rollicking read-aloud perfect for little adventurers.


Cyclic Law is proud to bring forth another new comer to it's roster, this time with US duo PSYCHOMANTEUM's debut "Oneironaut". The album is a sonic portrayal of dreams tainted with the beauty of melancholia and mystery, based on various dream structures and esoteric emotions of it's creators. Carefully manipulated field recordings layered with dense melodic drones, processed guitars and keyboards form the foundation of this body of work. The concept of the dream traveler is the main focal point behind each piece, serving as an orbital center which feeds energy and emotion into all encompassed works. A travelogue of otherworldly proportions, where the search for one's self leads you into the abyss of the soul. Relinquish consciousness and let the subconscious speak… The album's unique visual artwork was carefully channelled by the legendary Kati Astraeir.

Can You Claim NHS Data Breach Compensation?
"You can find out right now if you're eligible to claim NHS Data Breach Compensation"
Are You Eligible To Claim NHS Data Breach Compensation?
To be eligible to claim NHS data breach compensation with our expert lawyers, you need to match our criteria for taking your case forward.
The best way to find out is with specialist and tailored advice direct from our team. But as a general guide, we can give you information on how to know if you may be eligible for our No Win, No Fee representation.
Ultimately, if the incident is linked to the NHS or involves NHS data, you may be able to claim NHS data breach compensation. Some NHS work is outsourced to third-party agencies, and the claim could be against the NHS or a private company. We'll get to the bottom of it for you as we investigate your case!
You're a resident in England or Wales and the breach took place in England or Wales (Scotland and Northern Ireland have separate legal jurisdictions, and we usually cannot assist with cases where those jurisdictions apply).
Your information that has been exposed (and who it has been exposed to) is bad enough to warrant a claim for data breach compensation. This is really something that we need to assess on a case-by-case basis to make a judgment as to whether we can assist you or not.
The data breach has resulted in you suffering distress and / or financial loss. You don't have to have suffered any financial losses to claim, but you do at least need to be distressed about the breach. Given that medical data is typically very personal and very sensitive, it's understandable to suffer distress when medical data has been exposed. This can allow you to claim NHS data breach compensation.
The data breach took place in the last six years. The reason for this is that the general limitation period to be able to make a claim is usually six years from the date of the breach, or it can sometimes be six years from the date of knowledge of a breach.
However, there can be other key deadlines to consider. A severe enough data breach can warrant the claim encompassing personal injury damages, and in this type of case, you may only have three years to start the case instead of six to ensure you can receive personal injury damages. And for a Human Rights Act case the limitation period is just a year.
In group action data cases, there can also be court deadlines for joining an action as well. If you miss a court deadline, you may not be able to benefit from a group legal action and may be unable to complete your case at all.
The best advice is to never chance it. Make sure you start your claim as soon as you can. You need our tailored advice to properly calculate the right deadlines for your case, so don't rely on general guidance, and make sure you seek proper advice from our team!
Generally speaking, if you match the above criteria, you may be eligible to claim NHS data breach compensation with us.
But never leave it to chance! Always speak to our team for advice and we can usually give you an answer right away.
You can find out now if can claim NHS data breach compensation with our specialist team at your service.
We've been fighting for the rights of data breach victims for years, which is why thousands of people have asked us for help over the years we've been fighting for justice. As well as the individual claims we help people for, we're fighting for justice in over 20 different data breach group action cases as well. One of those is one of the most infamous NHS data breach actions of all time: The 56 Dean Street clinic leak.
All our initial advice is free and on an entirely no-obligation basis. Once we've spoken to you and guided you about whether you can claim NHS data breach compensation, the ball's in your court. But if you want to start your case right away, we can take your instructions over the phone and set up - and start - a claim in one simple phone call.
Our late weeknight opening times and being open on weekends means you can get access to the legal help you need when it's convenient for you. How can we offer just a standard 9 to 5 service when most people are working during those hours themselves?
Get in touch with our friendly team for tailored advice about your rights to claim NHS data breach compensation. We offer No Win, No Fee arrangements for people who match our criteria.


Third quarter automotive/mobile sales fell 16 percent from a year ago. That slack has been picked up by aviation, fitness and marine categories. For instance, Garmin's fitness business delivered third quarter sales of $81 million, up 25 percent from a year ago. Operating profit is also increasingly tied to the fitness category. In many respects, Garmin has been in front of the wearable computing movement—at least for cyclists and runners. The company has doubled down on its Forerunner GPS watch franchise and steadily improved its software and interface.
His rigorous training regime had been "taxing" on both his body and his mind, he said. "Each week, the calories would be reduced and cardio would be added, and as you lose body fat, your mind starts to play tricks on you," he said. "I lost my desire for everything. All I could think of was food." Mr Alkadhi said he believed all bodybuilders had some form of obsessive compulsive disorder, as they scrutinised every inch of their body to achieve perfection. But the mental health factor is not the only problem facing keen gym-goers. Over-exercising can lead to injury, fatigue and your results may even go backwards.
The catch? Members can only sign up for studios they've never visited. So if you've never experienced hot hip-hop yoga or a Bollywood dance class, here's your chance. Classtivity's monthly membership, called the Class Pass, costs $99 per month and allows users to sign up for 10 classes per month at dozens of different studios.

I Chose Liberty, compiled by Walter Block.
8.5 x 11 inches, 446 pages, Large Print Edition.
Walter Block leaned on 82 of the world's most prominent libertarian thinkers and asked them to tell their life stories with an eye to intellectual development. The result is the most comprehensive collection of libertarian autobiographies ever published. Their stories are thrilling and fascinating. They reveal their main influences, their experiences, their choices, and their ambitions.
There are some very interesting lessons here for everyone. We learn what gives rise to serious thought about liberty and what causes a person to dedicate a professional career or vocation to the cause. We also discover some interesting empirical information about the most influential libertarian writers.
How people come to believe what they believe is a mysterious issue, but an important one to examine. The results have profound strategic implications for the future. If there is a theme that emerges here, it is that it is that the most powerful and effective message of liberty is the one that is both smart and truth telling, not the one that is evasive or consciously dumbed down. The two most influential libertarians that emerge from the contest here are Rothbard and Rand, and this is for a reason.
This volume bears close study by anyone who is considering strategic issues. So far as we know, it is the first book of its kind, one sure to play a larger role in the future crafting of the message and scholarship of human liberty.

Abstract: A tapered microstrip power combiner is proposed (Singapore Patent (9610362-7) pending) whose in-phase input ports are located on a straight line rather than located on an arc, making it highly suitable for high-power SSPAs. To achieve equal in-phase transmissions between the input ports and the output port, holes are arranged in the middle of the structure. Experimental results of a ten-way combiner operating at 10 GHz confirm the viability of this approach. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Safety Concerns About Experimental Cancer Approach …

Study raises Safety Concerns About Experimental Cancer Approach: Widespread Vascular Tumors, Massive Hemorrhage and Death Reported in Mice
A study by researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis has raised safety concerns about an investigational approach to treating cancer.
Washington University in St. Louis …
Anti-Notch therapies are being evaluated for cancer. When Washington University scientists disrupted Notch1 signaling in mice, they developed vascular tumors, primarily in the liver, which filled with blood (shown) and eventually led to massive hemorrhages and death.
The strategy takes aim at a key signaling pathway, called Notch, involved in forming new blood vessels that feed tumor growth. When researchers targeted the Notch1 signaling pathway in mice, the animals developed vascular tumors, primarily in the liver, which led to massive hemorrhages that caused their death.
Their findings are reported online Jan. 25 in The Journal of Clinical Investigation and will appear in the journal's February issue.
A number of anti-Notch therapies now are being evaluated in preclinical and early clinical trials for cancer. They target Notch1 as well as the three other signaling pathways in the Notch receptor family. The current research did not study any of these specific therapies in mice but instead focused on the potential side effects of chronically disrupting the Notch1 signal in individual cells.
"Our results suggest that anti-Notch1 strategies are bound to fail," says Raphael Kopan, PhD, professor of developmental biology and of medicine at the School of Medicine. "Without the Notch1 signal, cells in the vascular system grow uncontrollably and produce enlarged, weakened blood vessels. Eventually, the pressure within those vessels exceeds their capacity to hold blood, and they rupture, causing a dramatic loss of blood pressure, heart attack and death."
Notch plays a crucial role in determining a cell's fate and is active throughout a person's life. In recent years, the pathway has emerged as a target to block the formation of blood vessels – called angiogenesis – in solid tumors.
Kopan says he is not advising that anti-Notch clinical trials already under way be halted. These early trials generally involve short-term use of the drugs and are designed to assess safety. However, he says patients who take anti-Notch therapies for extended periods should receive MRI scans to check for liver abnormalities.
In the new research, Kopan and his colleagues engineered mice to develop random but progressive disruptions in the Notch1 gene in cells that depend on its signal. This model mimics a scenario that may occur in cancer patients receiving anti-Notch therapies for extended time periods.
Then, the researchers monitored the mice for any potential negative consequences and compared the outcomes of 41 mutant mice to 45 normal "control" mice.
Within several months, the experimental mice developed opaque corneas, which were already known to be associated with a loss of Notch1 signaling.
Otherwise, for more than a year, the genetically engineered mice appeared to grow and develop normally. Then, for no apparent reason, they started dying suddenly.
The researchers conducted autopsies on 13 pairs of experimental and control mice. They noted vascular tumors and/or abnormal collections of blood vessels called hemangiomas in 85 percent (11/13) of the mutant mice, primarily in the liver. Some of the mice developed additional tumors in the uterus, colon, lymph nodes, skin, ovary and testis.
None of the control animals developed vascular tumors or hemangiomas. On average, the experimental mice lived 420 days compared with 600 days for the control mice.
"It is highly unlikely that mice in the experimental group would randomly die so soon," Kopan explains. "When we examined the mice, we found evidence of ruptured blood vessels and pooling of blood in their body cavities along with an odd-looking liver pathology."
The investigators then conducted MRI scans on living experimental mice. They noted that their livers had holes that looked "like a big Swiss cheese instead of having a dense, reddish, featureless landscape," Kopan says. "This is highly abnormal."
All the evidence pointed to abnormalities in the endothelial system in the experimental mice. Endothelial cells line blood vessels, allowing them to expand and contract as blood is pumped through the body. For reasons the researchers don't yet understand, endothelial cells in the liver were most affected. Ninety percent of the proliferating liver endothelial cells in the experimental mice had lost the Notch1 signal.
Notch plays many roles in the body, depending on the cellular context. In some instances, Notch can spur tumor growth and in others suppress it. The researchers suspect that loss of the Notch1 signal in the experimental mice releases the brakes on endothelial cell division, allowing the cells to proliferate uncontrollably, particularly in the liver.
Anti-notch compounds now in preclinical and clinical trials include gamma secretase inhibitors, originally developed to treat Alzheimer's disease. These drugs block an enzyme all Notch receptors rely on. Other drugs in the pipeline are called DLL4 antibodies, which also disrupt Notch signaling and blood vessel formation. Anti-Notch1 antibodies are also being developed.
Kopan, however, says he is not optimistic about the prospects for any of them.
"The therapeutic window for any kind of anti-Notch1 therapy – that's the dosage of a drug that is both safe and effective – is extremely small, perhaps even nonexistent, for these compounds in their current form," he says. "We need to do additional research to try to find out how we can open that window."

Come join other Mozaic members for a challenging Sunday hike to Lin Ma Hang with Wouter van Marle of Adventure Tours.
We will meet at 10:00am at the Sheung Shui MTR station.
We then take minibus to the police checkpoint to the start of our hike.
We will start our hike to the village - bypassing the restricted area. There will be some scrambling up/down steep slopes along the way.
We will visit the Lin Ma Hang village.
We will visit the residence of Ip Ting-sz - colonial style building who was a friend of Sun Yat-Sen.
Next, hike up the hill to the Macintosh Fort - for spectacular views towards Shenzhen.
Then we will visit the Lin Ma Hang lead mine with its famous three portal entrance.
To finish, we will hike the same way back down the hills to the police checkpoint. Here we will take a minibus back to the Sheung Shui MTR station, finishing at around 16:00.
This is not an easy tour: the hike to the village is challenging, and the fort is at the end of a long flight of stairs. You should be in relatively good fitness to manage the day out.
Please bring along enough food and water and any other other supplies for the outing, as there will be nothing available in the village.
Please wear sturdy hiking shoes, and dress approriately for the weather, as January can be quite cool.
Please bring along and have at least HKD20 value on your Octopus card to pay for the minibus.


I had never heard of a Star Coupester until I started my search to find a good 1926 model year car for the DT birthday celebration. Have you? Apparently, Star was the make and Coupester was the model, and this handsome 2-door was built by parent company Durant Motors. William Crapo Durant (I'll never tire of that middle name) was booted from the top of GM in the early '20s and promply formed his own megalomaniacal corporation soon after. Find this 1926 Star Coupester for sale in Cheyenne, Wyoming (I think) for $13,500 via [Los Angeles] craigslist. This post is part of DT's 2016 Birthday Celebration of 100 cars; enjoy the ride!
Unsurprisingly, the man who founded GM by buying up existing car companies and tying them together did the same when he founded his eponymous competitor corporation. Durant Motors included Star as the bargain brand; Flint, Eagle, and Durant were the midrange brands; Princeton and Locomobile filled the upmarket needs of pre-depression filthy rich car buyers.
The seller of this folding-roof Coupester claims it was restored 50 years ago (i.e. the 1960s) back when many early cars were "restored" in very incorrect ways. I'd be surprised if it wore this bright of a shade of blue back in 1926, but at least it looks presentable. The seller claims it's a 20-footer paint job; for 50 years old I'd say it likely was sprayed using decent quality lacquer or enamel.
The 4-cylinder engine was originally built by Continental and purchased by Durant for use in their cars. It seems fresh - especially that sleek gold intake manifold. Looks like a few updates have been made but what Durant history buff would give you a hard time about that? Seems like the fact that this is running, driving, and less than $15k means it's a cool piece of history if you like the weirder side of Roaring '20s style.

Mysterium Tremendum é um álbum da Mickey Hart Band, um grupo musical liderado pelo ex-baterista da Grateful Dead, Mickey Hart. Foi lançado pela 360° Productions em 10 de abril de 2012.

O Mysterium Tremendum foi criado com a Mickey Hart Band, com percussionistas convidados e outros músicos, tocando música junto com o que Hart chamou de "sons cósmicos". Esses sons foram criados pegando luz, ondas de rádio e outras radiações eletromagnéticas emitidas por objetos celestes como o sol, planetas, estrelas e galáxias, e usando computadores para transformá-lo em ondas sonoras. Hart declarou: "Combinei imagens sonoras da formação do nosso universo com sons extraídos de instrumentos musicais. É tudo sobre as vibrações que compõem o universo infinito. Nesse caso, eles começaram como ondas de luz e essas ondas de luz ainda estão lavando sobre nós. Cientistas da Penn State, Lawrence Berkeley Labs e Meyer Sound transformaram essas ondas de luz em ondas sonoras". Hart disse que trabalhou com George Smoot, um cientista que, com John C. Mather, recebeu o Prêmio Nobel de Física em 2006 por seu trabalho na radiação cósmica de fundo em micro-ondas.

Sete das doze faixas do álbum têm letras escritas por Robert Hunter, que escreveu as palavras de muitas músicas da Grateful Dead.

Q: Event " Button Click" not Working C# I am trying to make a program With Two buttons Start and Stop. Here is the code:
namespace rcToOnBoardPC
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        Communication objCommunication = new Communication();
        DataTable A = new DataTable();
        public int a;

       public Form1()
       {
           InitializeComponent();
       }

       private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
       {
           objCommunication.intialiseCAN();
           a = 1;
           A = Data.GetAccessDataTable("TestData", "testDB.accdb");
           this.dataGridView1.DataSource = A;
           objCommunication.ID0008Update10ms(A,a);// Runs Infinte While if a=1
        }

       private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
       {
            a = 0;
            string timeEnd = DateTime.Now.ToString();
            objCommunication.unIntialiseCAN();
            Environment.Exit(1);
        }

        public void textBox1Update(string message)
        {
            textBox1.Text = message;
        }
    }
}

The issue I face is that after "button1_click" a is set as 1 and if a=1 then method "ID0008Update10ms" runs an infinite while. If i try to generate "button2_Click" I am not able to achieve it, or it doesnt work at all so a is never set to zero. Why is this issue?

A: If button1_Click is running an infinite loop, it will block the UI thread.
This means that any other events on the UI thread cannot be processed, including button2_Click.

A: Try to run the infinite while on a background thread or to implement it with a thread.sleep of 1 ms.
The issue maybe that you're blocking the UI thread that cannot handle the secondo click on the button 2

The term heresy is from Greek αἵρεσις originally meant "choice" or "thing chosen", but it came to mean the "party or school of a man's choice" and also referred to that process whereby a young person would examine various philosophies to determine how to live. The word "heresy" is usually used within a Christian, Jewish, or Islamic context, and implies slightly different meanings in each. The founder or leader of a heretical movement is called a heresiarch, while individuals who espouse heresy or commit heresy are known as heretics. Heresiology is the study of heresy.

Joel Schumacher, director of 'St. Elmo's Fire,' dies at 80
by: JAKE COYLE, Associated Press

A representative for Schumacher said the filmmaker died Monday, June 22, 2020, in New York after a year-long battle with cancer. He was 80. (AP Photo/Peter Kramer, File)
NEW YORK (AP) — Joel Schumacher, the eclectic and brazen filmmaker who dressed New York department store windows before shepherding the Brat Pack to the big screen in "St. Elmo's Fire" and steering the Batman franchise into its most baroque territory in "Batman Forever" and "Batman & Robin," has died. He was 80.
A representative for Schumacher said the filmmaker died Monday in New York after a yearlong battle with cancer.
A native New Yorker, Schumacher was first a sensation in the fashion world after attending Parsons School of Design and decorating Henri Bendel's windows. His entry to film came first as a costume designer. Schumacher dressed a pair of Woody Allen movies in the 1970s: "Interiors" and "Sleeper." He also penned the screenplays to a pair of musicals: "The Wiz" and "Sparkle."
As a director, he established himself as a filmmaker of great flair, if not often good reviews, in a string of mainstream films in the '80s and '90s. To the frequent frustration of critics but the delight of audiences, Schumacher favored entertainment over tastefulness — including those infamous sensual Batman and Robin suits with visible nipples — and he did so proudly.
"A movie that's in a movie theater that runs at 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 and there's no one in the audience when that movie runs — what's the point?" Schumacher once told Charlie Rose.
The success of his first hit, "St. Elmo's Fire," with Rob Lowe, Demi Moore, Emilio Estevez and Ally Sheedy not only helped make a name for the Brat Pack but made Schumacher in-demand in Hollywood. He followed it up with 1987's "The Lost Boys," with Jason Patric, Corey Haim, Kiefer Sutherland and Corey Feldman. A vampire horror comedy, it gave a darker, contemporary view of the perpetual adolescence of "Peter Pan."
Schumacher was sometimes regretful that he played a role in hoisting fame on his young stars and "the two Coreys." Before dying in 2010, Haim struggled with drug addiction and said he was sexually assaulted in the film industry. Feldman on Monday recounted on Twitter trying cocaine during "The Lost Boys" as a 16-year-old. When Schumacher found out, Feldman said, Schumacher temporarily fired him.
"He tried to prevent my descent," said Feldman, who continued to struggle with drugs.
Schumacher then made "Flatliners," about morbidly obsessed medical students, and a pair of John Grisham adaptations in "The Client" and "A Time to Kill." "Falling Down," with Michael Douglas as a Los Angeles man whose anger from minute every-day interactions steadily builds in violence, was maybe his most critically acclaimed film, though its depictions of minorities — particularly a Korean grocer — were from the start hotly debated.
On its 25th anniversary, April Wolfe of LA Weekly wrote that it "remains one of Hollywood's most overt yet morally complex depictions of the modern white-victimization narrative, one both adored and reviled by the extreme right."
The slickness of those productions helped Schumacher inherit the DC universe from Tim Burton. In Schumacher's hands, Batman received a garish overhaul that resulted in two of the the franchise's most cartoonish movies in 1995's "Batman Forever" and 1997's "Batman & Robin." The first was a box-office smash but the second fizzled and remains most often remembered for its infamous suits.
"It was like I had murdered a baby," Schumacher told Vice of the response to "Batman & Robin." Yet it, too, has developed a small cult following for those who prefer the antithesis of Christopher Nolan's more grim Batman movies.
"He saw deeper things in me than most and he lived a wonderfully creative and heroic life," said Jim Carrey, who played the Riddler in "Batman Forever." "I am grateful to have had him as a friend."
Schumacher, born on Aug. 29, 1939, to Francis and Marian Schumacher, was raised in Queens by his mother after his father died when he was four-years-old. As a youngster, he quickly became enmeshed in the city's nightlife.
"The street was my education,"Schumacher told Vulture earlier this year. "You could ride your bike over the 59th Street Bridge then. So I rode my bike everywhere. I was in Manhattan all the time and all over Queens. If you're a kid on a bike, anything can happen, and predators come out of the woodwork, my God. I looked very innocent, but I wasn't."
Schumacher would often say he was fortunate to have survived the '60s at all. He made habits of liquid Methadrine, acid and sex. Out long before many in Hollywood, Schumacher pegged his lovers in "the double-digit thousands." He was a warm and gossipy raconteur though Schumacher said he "never kissed and told about anybody who gives me the favor of sharing a bed with me."
"I don't not like talking about it, I just don't believe it matters," Schumacher said of his sexuality in a 2000 interview with the Guardian. "I've lived my life very openly. I started drinking at nine. I started doing drugs in my early teens. I started smoking at 10 and I started sex at 11. So I'm not hiding anything. But I am totally and completely against labels."
After "Batman and Robin," Schumacher turned to lower-budget thrillers: "8mm," with Nicolas Cage; "Flawless," with Robert De Niro; "Phone Booth," with Colin Farrell. Schumacher, behind the beginnings of so many careers, gave Farrell his first led role in 2000's "Tigerland." In 2004, he took on Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Phantom of the Opera," a late, gaudy flourish that combined Schumacher with perhaps his Broadway equivalent in the spectacle-making Webber. Most recently, he directed two episodes of Netflix's "House of Cards" in 2013.
In his last interview, with Vulture, Schumacher reflected on a show at London's National Gallery of the now highly regarded works of James McNeill Whistler and John Singer Sargent.
"They did a brilliant thing. Right next to them on the wall, framed right next to the paintings, were all their horrible reviews," said Schumacher. "Who remembers these reviews?"
This story has been updated to correct the spelling of Nicolas Cage and Andrew Lloyd Webber's names.

SALISBURY, England (AP) — David Halls isn't a doctor, nurse or ambulance driver, but he wanted to contribute in the fight against COVID-19. So he did what he does best: He sat down on the bench beside at Salisbury Cathedral's historic organ and began to play.
Halls is one of the many people who have turned the 800-year-old cathedral in southwestern England into a mass vaccination center as the U.K. races to inoculate 50 million people. His contribution to the effort is offering a bit of Bach, Handel and even a little Rodgers & Hammerstein to the public as they shuffle through the nave to get their shots.
