Miky Maous was first published with 52 pages on Friday July 1st 1966. On 12 November 2004 Miky Maous celebrates it's 2000th issue, making it the longest running weekly magazine in Greece ever! The event was celebrated with an exhibition of Carl Barks oil paintings and paintings of other Greek artists for the event. In addition publisher Nea Aktina celebrated with honorary guest Don Rosa the publication of a new book containing all stories of Don Rosa's famous epic The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck.

The magazine has been found at kiosks every Friday ever since 1966. Even the turmoil of the coup d' etat on a Friday in April 1967, did not prevent its circulation; Miky Maous was the only Greek magazine or newspaper to reach the kiosk that day! Due to political considerations, the cover of the next issue was reprinted; the title of the story was changed from the "King of the West" to the "Lord of the West", and the figure of Mickey was retouched to erase the crown from his head.

In 1984, the golden era of publishing in Greece, Miky Maous' circulation reached 114,315 copies. This meant that one out of every two Greek children read the magazine that week!! Probably every Greek adult was once a reader of Miky Maous. The magazine has successfully maintained its popularity since then.

Miky Maous always strongly supported publishing stories featuring the classical characters, such as Mickey, Donald and Uncle Scrooge, as the most recognized part of Walt Disney's art. Each issue now contains 100 pages, 75 of which are comic stories. The other pages include news, puzzles, letter columns, and editorials featuring info-pages on sports, animals, music, computer-games and movies. The magazine is printed on high quality glossy paper.

5 Exciting Breast Cancer Breakthroughs

POSTED BY White Plains Hospital
October 09, 2019
Advances are helping to catch the disease sooner, and are offering more targeted therapies and surgeries.

From breast imaging to breast cancer diagnosis and treatment, there have been many improvements and breakthroughs in the battle again breast cancer over the past few years, says Dr. Preya Ananthakrishnan, Director of Breast Cancer at White Plains Hospital. For Breast Cancer Awareness Month, here’s a look at the tremendous technologies and techniques available to women today:

Targeted Therapies

Chemotherapy and other drug treatments used to be more of a blanket decision—one size fits all—for most patients. But today’s options are more targeted and tailored to each person’s specific cancer. In fact, doctors are now better able to determine who even needs chemotherapy, and if so, which drugs to use to treat each receptor on a tumor. Radiation therapy has also been refined and is now sometimes localized to a specific region of the breast rather than directed at the whole area. This means cancer cells are targeted, while the rest of the tissues are spared.

Genetic Testing

Genetic testing for breast cancer vulnerability is making great strides. While two genes, BRCA-1 and BRCA-2, are the best-known genes linked to an increased susceptibility to the disease, there are now expanded panel tests to check for more than 20 genes associated with increased cancer risk.

3-D Mammography

This exciting technology allows doctors to take a closer, more precise look at the breast—and 3-D imaging returns fewer false positives than regular mammography. In most cases, insurers now fully cover 3-D imaging in New York, and it’s becoming more widely available. Most hospitals and medical centers, including White Plains Hospital, now have at least one 3-D mammography machine.

Nipple-Sparing Mastectomies

Improved cosmetics are a bright spot in the world of breast cancer surgery. Some mastectomies can now be performed through incisions under the breast, leaving the nipple and skin intact. When combined with immediate reconstruction by a plastic surgeon, the cosmetic results are wonderful—it can be difficult to even tell that someone has had a mastectomy.

Direct-to-Implant Reconstruction

Not long ago, women had to put up with months of lag time and significant pain while undergoing multiple surgeries for reconstruction (an expander would be placed initially, followed by an implant at a second surgery). Today, an implant can go directly in during the same operation as a mastectomy, which makes it a single procedure with much less pain and no more waiting or painful office procedures. In another surgical advance, pre-pectoral reconstruction places the implant above the muscle (rather than under it). This results in less pain and a quicker post-op recovery.

Dr. Preya AnanthakrishnanDr. Preya Ananthakrishnan, Director of Breast Surgery at White Plains Hospital, is a fellowship-trained breast surgeon whose practice is dedicated to the treatment of breast disease. To make an appointment with Dr. Ananthakrishnan at the WPH Center for Cancer Care, call (914) 849-7580.

Expert Perspectives

Key Capabilities for Long-Term Development Strategies in the Face of Unprecedented and Uncertain Large-Scale Global Change

Inevitable and uncertain systemic change demands transformational responses

It seems increasingly likely that by sometime in the second half of this century our world will be warmer by at least 2°C. This will inevitably drive substantial biophysical, policy, technological, and socioeconomic changes over coming years and decades. The human responses to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions—in the form of technological, regulatory, and financial disruptions—will continue ramping up in scope and scale as the world rapidly shifts to lower-carbon economies. These shifts will alter the ways cities and regions function and how individuals and communities live and interact. Such changes will compound the dynamics and complexities of the biophysical changes induced by climate change. In many instances societal adaptations will need to be transformational (i.e., calling into question current values and objectives about issues such as species triage or assisted relocation and the sanctity of individual liberties such as where and how to live one’s life), which will likely reinforce inequities and entail unavoidable power struggles, economic costs, and cultural and environmental losses and suffering (Fazey et al. 2018).

Challenges to long-term development planning due to uncertainty

Proactively planning for these eventualities and implementing strategic and transformational development strategies will substantially reduce the potential disruptions and costs. Yet there is little evidence of official, systematic, and coordinated efforts in this regard, especially not at the rate and scale required. Much of this inertia in strategic societal responses can be explained by the uncertainty of the changes, particularly due to their complexity and unprecedented scale. In other words, although large-scale biophysical and socioeconomic changes are inevitable under climate change, the interconnectedness and dynamics of systems will make us uncertain about the timing, likelihood, and consequences of these changes and how to respond.

Epistemic and existential uncertainty such as this often leads to confusion, contestation, or conflicts about problem definitions and proposed solutions and manifests in decision inertia or maladaptive short-term, reactive, and incremental decisions. This is because of humans’ inherently limited cognitive ability to understand complexity; the consequent adoption of default but inappropriate behaviors to cope with the resulting uncertainty and ambiguity (e.g., denial, arrogance, overconfidence, optimism bias, sticking to the tried-and-tested, adoption of reductionist and controlling decision-making approaches); prevailing rules and values that prevent new knowledge or new transformational options from being considered (e.g., prevailing risk and cost-benefit analyses ineffective at accounting for intangible values and unprecedented catastrophic events); and the powerful political influence of incumbent players with vested interests in the status quo.

Key capabilities required to create and implement climate-compatible long-term development strategies

Given the above context, long-term development strategies need to explicitly acknowledge and accommodate three things (Dunlop et al. 2013, 102). First, they need to account for the possibility of large, unprecedented, and irreversible change. Second, they need to acknowledge uncertainty and ambiguity about both the nature of this change and how to respond. And third, they need to accommodate the multiple values potentially affected by the change. But determining and agreeing on the what, why, and how of these elements is not easy. All of them have implications for the capabilities required to develop long-term development strategies. These capability requirements fall into four broad categories: (1) creating and sustaining an authorizing environment, (2) credible framing of problems and opportunities, (3) generating and prioritizing options to address the problem or harness the opportunity, and (4) adaptive implementation.

1. Creating and sustaining an authorizing environment

An essential first step to developing a credible and implementable long-term strategy is having an authorizing environment to do so. This helps ensure that the activities and products of the strategy are supported by actors with authority and agency. This authorizing environment may not exist initially and may be challenged or weakened over time. This is particularly the case when problems or opportunities are uncertain or ambiguous and span long time horizons, large geographies, and diverse economic sectors or jurisdictions. Inclusive processes are therefore required to build and maintain the collaboration required for collective action through aligned agendas, shared ways of measuring and reporting on successes and failures, mutually reinforcing activities, and continual communication (Kania and Kramer 2011).

2. Credibly framing the problem or opportunity situation

Little progress can be made if there is no or limited shared understanding among stakeholders of the problem or opportunity. This is because the options that comprise the long-term development strategy are determined by the problem to be solved. Yet developing a shared understanding of a problem or opportunity is not straightforward where the causes are dynamic and complex, uncertainties are pervasive and fundamental, and there are many stakeholders with diverse perspectives and experiences of the situation. Key capabilities required to frame complex problems or opportunities involve systems thinking, participatory knowledge mapping, and visioning or forecasting of possible unprecedented, uncertain futures.

Complex systems thinking requires that individuals recognize (1) that systems are comprised of diverse agents (people and organizations) that interact with each other in nonlinear ways and self-organize, (2) that these diverse adaptive agents are highly interconnected and coevolve with the material or biophysical world, (3) that these nonlinear interactions result in emergent properties (i.e., system behaviors) that are often deeply uncertain or unpredictable, and (4) the need for and importance of investing in mechanisms (language, concepts, tools, and processes) to promote communication and learning (McDaniel 2007). Systems thinking is a prerequisite to framing or defining a problem, as it promotes humility about one’s own understanding and empathy regarding how other people understand the system.

Knowledge mapping involves stakeholders collaboratively “mapping” or categorizing the levels of incompleteness in knowledge about the likelihood and consequences of changes in events or the state and dynamics of a system (Figure 1A) (Stirling and Scoones 2009). Categorizing knowledge in this way is useful as it enables diverse decision-makers to share, deliberate, and negotiate their diverse perspectives and understandings of the dynamics of the system or problem situation. In doing so, this process can reveal causes and consequences of gaps in knowledge and raise awareness of the reasons for confusion or contestation about a problem definition and the objectives of interventions. Mechanisms such as “boundary objects” (conceptual or tangible items that live “in multiple social worlds and . . . have different identities in each” [Star and Griesemer 1989]) and bridging organizations are essential in these processes to help overcome disciplinary, experiential, and ideological differences and power imbalances. Participatory knowledge mapping is important as it reveals where the incompleteness in knowledge is reducible through more research and where it is likely to be difficult if not impossible to reduce due to the complexity and continually changing dynamics of the system. The challenge, then, is more about managing uncertainty, ambiguity, and ignorance through mapping different framings of complex problems, reducing compounding exposure to surprise; and “opening up” greater accountability for the normative judgments in long-term development strategies.

Future visioning and forecasting. If the future is expected to be the same or only marginally different from the present (or if the past is assumed to provide a reasonable approximation of the future) then long-term strategies will promote incremental nudges to business as usual (BAU). This will reinforce the status quo and in the presence of large, rapid, uncertain global changes will lead to maladaptive development strategies. Therefore a range of scenarios of possible futures is needed to inform the creation of long-term development strategies. In this regard, it is insufficient to only consider expected or optimistic scenarios, as this makes possible highly regrettable outcomes in a worst-case situation. Low-regret or robust strategies therefore need to be informed by a range of scenarios including a plausible worst-case scenario of the future. Developing and using credible catastrophic scenarios to create recognition that BAU is unlikely to be feasible is difficult, however, due to underdeveloped skills of imagination, storytelling, and translation of the implications of possible futures for today’s decisions and governance arrangements. There are, however, growing numbers of examples where these capabilities have been developed and combined with artificial intelligence, computer simulation, and the arts and humanities to allow stakeholders to create or “live through” plausible extreme scenarios of the future, thus informing the collaborative creation of long-term development strategies (Scharmer 2009; Tyszczuk and Smith 2018; Dulic et al. 2016).

3. Generating options for long term development strategies under uncertainty

Long-lived investments (such as in physical infrastructure) will need to withstand a range of changing climate conditions, which will make design more difficult and construction and maintenance more expensive. Additionally, the uncertainty of future climate makes it impossible to directly use the output of a single climate model as an input for infrastructure design. And we cannot rely on the needed climate information becoming available soon. Therefore, instead of optimizing based on the climate conditions projected by models, or ignoring these uncertainties entirely, new infrastructure investments should consider options that perform satisfactorily across a range of possible future conditions (i.e., robust options). Numerous principles or heuristics for doing this include selecting “low-regret” strategies that yield benefits even in the absence of climate change, favoring reversible and flexible options (e.g., nature-based solutions or retreat instead of hard infrastructure to protect coastal communities), buying “safety margins” in new investments, investing in improving information about the rate and magnitude of change, and reducing decision time horizons (e.g., increase the rate of depreciation to allow for earlier replacement) (Hallegatte 2009; Fankhauser et al. 1999; Wilby and Dessai 2010).

Yet many robust or low-regret options are currently not legal, legitimate, or credible, such as (1) widespread retreat of coastal infrastructure and communities in the face of rising sea levels, coastal erosion, and disappearing coastal ecosystems; (2) allowing species or ecosystems to migrate or become extinct as their environments inevitably shift and transform in order to avoid growing conservation costs in the face of inevitable failure; and (3) allowing for lower levels of critical service supply reliability to avoid the costs of attempting to resist disruptions. Making these legitimate, legal, and credible will require strategic actions to overcome regulatory, cultural, political, and behavioral barriers.

Doing this, however, also will require capabilities almost entirely absent in most organizations, such as how to diagnose systemic and knowledge barriers that constrain these options, and how to identify and implement societal change processes to overcome these barriers to create decision contexts more enabling of transformation. Existing approaches to effectively diagnose systemic barriers include the values-rules-knowledge model of decision contexts (Gorddard et al. 2016), the Institutional Analysis and Development framework (Huntjens et al. 2012; Ostrom 2011), and the “regimes of truth, rule and accumulation” approach to understanding political dynamics (Scoones 2016). Diagnosis of the problem reveals potential leverage points to shift the system away from undesirable trajectories, while “theory of change,” “systemic action research,” “system change,” and “transformational adaptation pathways” have been shown to be effective ways of identifying and sequencing options to adaptively act upon these leverage points (Aragón and Macedo 2010; Burns 2014; Wise et al. 2014).

4. Adaptively implementing the strategy

Due to the relentless uncertainty and ambiguity associated with rapid global change, long-term development strategies need to be implemented within an ongoing adaptive monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) framework. The approaches to MEL need to be flexible and informed by the nature of change and associated knowledge deficits, the presence and causes of contestation or conflict among stakeholders, the intent of any interventions being considered, the capacity of the people involved, and the resources (time and money) available to invest in learning activities (Butler et al. 2016).

In complex systems such as interconnected energy, water, or food systems, learning is fundamental even to simply build understanding and shared framing of the problems. To be effective, learning processes need to respect and manage the diversity of not only frames, values, and worldviews but also positional and personal power and the politics of broader material and social relations (Leach et al. 2010). Pivotal to these are (1) the design and structuring of group-work informed by understanding of adult learning, knowledge cultures, complex systems, and human psychology and behavior, and (2) the use of “boundary objects” such as conceptual models, theoretical frameworks, drawings produced by the group, and material objects. Material objects have been shown to be especially effective as boundary objects in contested, antagonistic situations as they “objectify” knowledge, promote thought, and “slow down” thinking, leading participants to question and disassociate from previous networks or their relationships with the material world (Eisenhauer 2016).

Another approach to learning involves targeted experiments such as pilot projects of alternative management approaches or governance arrangements as part of the long-term development strategy (Heilmann 2008). These experiments promote experiential learning about the performance or effectiveness of the management option (single-loop learning) or governance intervention (double-loop and triple-loop learning) at meeting the strategy’s objectives or against the preexperiment assumptions as described in the theory of change  (Butler et al. 2016; EAP 2018).

The effectiveness of experiential learning approaches such as these, however, can be limited in situations of rapid, unprecedented, and ongoing global change where understanding of options’ past and present performance cannot confidently be used as a basis for projecting their future performance. In such situations, experience-based learning ought to be complemented with forward-looking mechanisms, such as foresighting and scenarios, that promote learning and leading from the future as it emerges (Scharmer 2009). Elements of future-oriented learning involve personal reflection and transformation (“presencing”)  to be able to sense emerging novel trends; developing and drawing on abilities such as intuition, judgment, and ethics to preemptively formulate assessments about what these might mean for management and governance; understanding and being comfortable with irreducible uncertainties and ambiguities; preemptively creating flexible options to exploit possible opportunities and avoid problems as they emerge; and having the trust and confidence of stakeholders to legitimately act on this intuition (Scharmer 2009). This forward-looking learning is essentially focused on testing and modifying one’s sense-making, intuition, and judgment about the potential future performance of current management.

Summary and key recommendations

The unprecedented scale, complexity, and uncertainty of climate change demands long-term development strategies that are transformational and adaptive in their approach and intent. Yet such strategies face many barriers in the form of highly constraining societal values, rules, or knowledge. Pragmatic steps to make progress in such contexts ought to involve combinations of top-down institutional and narrative changes and bottom-up, community-based, or private-sector-led initiatives that purposefully (1) build the key capacities outlined above in people of all ages through diverse forms of education and training, theoretical and applied; and (2) create communities and networks of research and practice around transformational projects to capture and share lessons that enable wider, faster, more adaptive, and sustained implementation of strategies.

American Job Openings Now Outnumber the Jobless

U.S. job openings rose to 6.7 million at the end of April, compared with the 6.3 million Americans who were unemployed

The U.S. had more job openings this spring than unemployed Americans.

For the first time since such record-keeping began in 2000, the number of available positions exceeded the number of job seekers, the Labor Department said Tuesday, a shift that is rippling across the economy and affecting the behavior of employers and workers.

What information is collected and what we do with it

We need several kinds of information in order to treat you as a patient, to contact you about your appointments, and in order to refer you for specialist treatment.For each type of information collected we have a legal basis for its use which is included in italics.

Name, date of birth, gender and address are used to identify you. This is also required in order to claim NHS dental treatment.

Provision of health care

Contact details (address, telephone, email) are used to contact you about appointments. This is also used if you are referred to other services. If you make an enquiry via our website, or by email, we will respond to your enquiry using the information you have provided.

Provision of health care

Contact preferences are used to determine how we should normally contact you.

Provision of health care

Marketing preferences (may we send information about offers) is used to determine if we can send information about new services or offers on existing services that may be of interest to you.

Occupation (what you do) is used to help in diagnosing any problems found or reported.

Provision of health care

Emergency contact details are used in case something happens to you while you are at the practice.

Provision of health care

GP details are used if we need to contact your GP if we need to coordinate treatment we plan with them, or to pass on a finding we make during an examination which may be relevant to them. We also need this information if we refer you to an NHS service as NHS funding is often based on the location of your GP.

Provision of health care

Hospital or GP visits in the last two years is used to tell us if there are any problems you may be having that could be affected by, or which could affect your dental health. This may also be used to determine if any treatment we plan is safe for you.

Provision of health care

Medication information is used to determine if medications we might use or treatment we plan will be safe. Even if you no longer take some medications, the effects can be permanent, so we sometimes ask if you have ever taken some types of medication.

Provision of health care

Allergy infomation is used to determine if medications we might use, equipment we use, or treatment we plan will be safe.

Provision of health care

Information about conditions or diseases you may have had are used to determine if medication we may use, or treatment we plan is safe for you.

Provision of health care

Information about Prosthetics (replacement parts) you may have had is used to determine if if any equipment we use or treatment we plan will be safe.

Provision of health care

Pregnancy information is used to determine if treatment we plan or diagnostic processes such as xrays will be safe for you and your unborn child.

Provision of health care

HIV information is used to help in diagnosis of any oral conditions that may be more likely if your immune system is affected. It is also used in the unlikely event of an injury to staff either while you are at the practice, or while processing the instruments used to treat you after you have left. We need to know if it will be necessary to take additional steps to treat an injury if there is a risk of infection.

Provision of health care

Your concerns (crooked, discoloured, or missing teeth, fillings or snoring) are all used to guide the advice you may be given as part of your examination.

Provision of health care

Smoking and vaping information are used as part of the process of diagnosing symptoms found during your examination, and affect advice given as both will increase your risk of oral cancer and reduce your body’s ability to heal.

Provision of health care

Alcohol consumption information is used as part of the process of diagnosing symptoms found during your examination, and affect advice given.

Provision of health care

Your weight is used to determine if it is safe to examine you in our surgeries. Equipment is rated at 21 stones (135Kg), so we may have to refer you for treatment elsewhere if you weigh more than our equipment can support.

Provision of health care

The NHS requests information about your ethnic origin in order to carry out statistical analysis into treatment needs. This may later be used to advise dentists to be more vigilant for certain conditions or expect different outcomes where it is found that some groups are more likely to have a particular condition or were more likely to experience difficulty in undergoing treatment. For example, jaw bone density can vary between different groups, which can cause extractions to be more difficult.

Public interest, Provision of health care

Information about exemptions from paying NHS charges is needed in order to provide free NHS treatment. The NHS business services authority requires that certain information is collected to confirm that you are eligible for free treatment so we may need to collect your current educational institution, Exemption Card details, National Insurance Number. We may also ask to see proof that you receive a benefit.

Provision of health care

Information about your entitlement to reduced NHS charges is used to process your payment where the NHS does not provide free treatment, but will pay for more of your treatment than it would normally.

Provision of health care

During your examination, a dentist will also collect clinical information including

  • The condition of your teeth, and any fillings or other restorations

  • The condition of your gums and any pockets between the gums and teeth

  • The condition of your soft tissues and palateWhether your temporomandibular joint (jaw hinge) is functioning smoothly

  • The condition of your salivary glands

  • Xrays of your teeth

  • The colour of your teeth

  • The amount of sugar or acid in your diet

This information is used to record the status of your teeth, gums, other soft tissues, and any restorations. This makes it possible to note change over time, and is used to diagnose and treat any symptoms found.

Provision of health care

Details of your appointments are recorded including their dates, times and duration, who you were treated by, what treatment was recommended, what treatment was carried out, what materials were used, whether any appointments were missed. This information is used to record the history of your treatment and may be subsequently be used to investigate a complaint, diagnose a symptom, to audit the use of materials and treatment outcomes or determine whether further NHS or private appointments can be offered.

Provision of health care

Non-clinical notes may be recorded to capture a wide range of non-clinical information which may be used to indicate your preference for clinician, comments you have made to reception staff, actions or behaviour that may later become part of a complaint investigation, or to enable different members of staff to cooperate in providing your dental service. The above is not an exclusive list of information.

Provision of health care

A full or summary copy of your signed treatment plan is used to confirm your written consent to the treatment proposed, and its cost.

Provision of health care

Is data sent overseas

The data that is shared, described above, is sent within the UK by us to the service.

We will use secure means to do so – either by post, by courier, or using a secure messaging service such as encrypted email. Encrypted email will only be stored in Switzerland and will be transmitted and stored in encypted form. Our contract with other services mandates that we are informed if your data will be sent overseas or shared with another party, and this may only be done as part of the requirement to provide the service requested and with the same requirement to protect your information that we require from them.

We send to and receive email from you. Our email is stored at our service provider in Canada. Your service provider may store your email anywhere in the world. We do not recommend that you send any sensitive information by email to us as we cannot guarantee that your information is protected either by our service provider or yours.

We send to and receive encrypted email from our treatment providers, and may also use this method to send referrals to non-NHS referral services. Our encrypted email is stored at our service provider in Switzerland. NHS email is stored in the UK. If we send you an encrypted message, you may use the same service to respond to us which will ensure your response can only be read by our staff.

We make backup copies of all electronic data, which are strongly encrypted before storing locally. Another copy of the encrypted data is also stored offsite in Ireland, and it is a condition of the contract with our storage provider that the data cannot be stored in any other location for any reason.

Contact though our website

If you use the contact form on our website, your enquiry is processed via our online providers in London and Ireland so it can be delivered to our secure email service in Switzerland. We have third party Data Processing Agreements in place with these providers to protect the information you send us.

If you use the Chat service on our website, your enquiry is processed via the chat service provider in Amsterdam and France. We have a third party Data Processing Agreement in place with the chat service that includes its providers to protect the data you send us.

Both methods are configured to keep your data within the EU, and use encryption to protect your information from the moment it leaves your device.

How long we retain data for

Your data is retained continuously while you are a patient, and for 11 years after you cease to be a patient at the practice. For children, data is retained until the age of 25 or 11 years after leaving, whichever is the longer. It may take up to a year longer for data to be purged from all backups.

Rights of access, rectification and erasure

You have the right to access to the data we hold about you and to receive a copy. The first copy of your record is free. For subsequent copies a fee will be charged. You may also request access to the data of a person you are legally responsible for, and you may give written authority for a 3rd party to receive a copy of your record. We may require evidence of your identity before releasing your record.

You have the right to correct information held in your record, but in some cases we may only permit a difference of opinion to be recorded. This might occur if you disagree with clinical notes. You can update your records by telephone, in person, or by completing the appropriate form. You should not update your record by email unless you accept that we cannot guarantee the security of email.

You have the right to be forgotten, however, Patient records will not be deleted even at the request of a patient for the following reasons:

  • Records are required by the NHS contract to be kept as part of both patient and care provider records for a minimum of 2 years post-treatment.

  • Records may be used as evidence in respect of a claim under the consumer protection act 1998 which supports claims in respect of defective products for up to 10 years.

Patients requesting their records be deleted will be informed of the reasons above, and:

  • their right to make a complaint to the ICO or another supervisory authority; and

  • their ability to seek to enforce this right through a judicial remedy.

Individual data items will not be deleted as they form part of the patient record. However, where a patient identifies a point of contention – for example if they disagree with a statement made in a record – then it will be recorded that the patient disagrees with the record at that point.

If you request that your records are erased, we will treat this as a request to de-register.

Your data will be put beyond practical use by marking your record as inactive. No further communications will be sent. Data will not be sent to the NHS or any other treatment bodies. We will also be unable to provide any further service.

Rights of restriction on processing

You have the right to object to automated processing and decision making.This applies where:

  • processing is for direct marketing

  • processing is for for scientific, historical or statistical reasons. In this case you must demonstrate grounds for your objection and these must outweigh the public interest.

  • processing is for legitimate interests. In this case we may demonstrate compelling grounds that outweigh your objection. An example of this is that NHS patients must have a summary record of treatment sent to the NHS business services division in order to receive NHS treatment.

Right to data portability

You have the right to request your data in a common machine-readable format. We will endeavour to supply your information in a plain text format, or as jpeg images, PDF, or standard word-processor compatible files as appropriate to the type of information.

Right to withdraw consent

You have the right to withdraw consent, which will usually mean that you no longer wish to receive marketing information from us. This can be done by requesting a change by telephone, email, SMS, in person, or by leaving the marketing consent section of the medical history form empty or by ticking the NO box.

You may also register the wish to withdraw consent for other kinds of processing, including transmission of your details to a third party service such as a hospital, specialist clinic, or dental laboratory. This may mean that treatment cannot be carried out.

If you are an NHS patient, you may register your wish not to have your data processed by the NHS. This will mean we are unable to provide NHS treatment to you.

You may also separately contact the NHS to assert your right to opt out from the use of your data for research or planning purposes. More information is available here: Note that Wyndcott does not send or use your data for research or planning purposes so we are informing you about the NHS' wider use of data collected through all its services. There is no need to ask us to apply this right locally.

Right to complain to the ICO

You have the right to complain to the Information Commissioners Office about the information we hold about you.

Whether we are oblighed by statute or contract to provide information

We are obliged by contract to provide information to:

  • the NHS in regard to NHS patients

  • referral services which we have discussed as part of your treatment

  • dental laboratories which will make prosthetics or models required as part of your treatment

Consequences for failure to provide information

If we fail to provide information to the parties above, your treatment will may not be possible at all, or may only be possible as a private patient.

If you fail to provide up to date information to us, this may:

  • put your life at risk

  • result in delays or failures in your treatment as we or other services involved in your treatment are unable to contact you

  • prevent us from treating you and lead to your de-registration

Rights in relation to automated decision-making, what the logic is, and consequences of purely automated decision making.

Automated decision making is used where:

Automated reminders of appointments or the need to book an examination are sent.

  • If you have provided your email or mobile telephone number:You will be sent an automated reminder of a booked appointment 4 days before the appointment.

  • We initiate monthly checks to send reminders to book a dental examination.

  • Your dentist sets the interval between examination appointments.

  • If the date is after the interval since your last last appointment, then you will be sent a reminder by email if we have your email address, by SMS if we have your mobile number and no email, or by post if we have no email or mobile number.

  • Toothache or other urgent appointments will not normally count as the “last” appointment.

  • If you have contacted us to say that you cannot attend dental examinations for a reasonable period of time, we may reset the reminder interval so you do not receive unwanted reminders.

  • You have the right to refuse reminders, or to request reminders be sent via a particular method. You may do this by telephone, SMS, email or in person.

Referrals are sent through NHS referral pathways.

  • Referrals that we send are checked to determine the most appropriate type of service. We do not have control over this process but the intention is to direct referrals that require a hospital setting to hospitals, and to direct referrals that can be managed by other services to the appropriate service. The aim is to reduce waiting times for treatment by sending patients who do not require a hospital setting to services with shorter queues.

  • You may refuse to have your referral processed but this may mean there are no other pathways available to request treatment, which could lead to treatment becoming impossible to carry out. You may do this by telephone, SMS, email, or in person.

How else do you protect my information

There are a number of methods used to ensure that information is held safely at the practice. They can be divided into two categories: security for paper records, and security for electronic records.

Paper records

The practice keeps as little paper as possible. Letters, forms that you or we complete, and any other paper records that contain identifiable information are securely shredded as soon as possible. We transfer all current paper-based information into our computer system before destroying the original, and any paperwork that has not yet been transferred is held securely.

Dental Records which were created prior to the establishment of our computer system are held in an archive under lock and key. These records will be securely shredded as they reach the end of their retention period.

Electronic records

In line with Cyber Essentials advice and general good practice, our computer system uses all of the following methods to secure the data we hold on site:

  • The computer system is connected to the internet via a firewall, not directly.

  • Computers require an individual login before use – they are not left “open”.

  • Users have individual accounts with restricted access

  • No default passwords – all software and hardware is configured specifically and passwords are changed from default settings. This includes not using the same password for multiple accounts or devices.

  • Applications and user accounts are selected and configured on the basis of only allowing the features or access necessary for the task.

  • Computers are encrypted – in the event of theft, data on a computer stolen from the practice cannot be accessed because the entire computer is encrypted. Even if the disk is removed and put in a different computer, it cannot be read.

  • Only authenticated software from approved sources is used.

  • Antivirus software is used on all computers and is updated frequently. Full scans are run regularly and reports monitored.

  • Updates are tested and applied regularly to both the computer operating systems and applications used. Vulnerability scans are run to identify known weaknesses.

  • Regular offsite backups are taken to protect against data loss for any reason

Recent round table on IPSASB ED 64 Leases

Not-for-profitPublic Sector

Tier 1 and Tier 2

The International Public Sector Accounting Standards Board (IPSASB) is currently seeking feedback on proposals contained in ED 64 Leases for new accounting requirements for leases, including concessionary leases.

We recently held three round tables in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch on ED 64. We received valuable feedback from a broad range of constituents on both the proposed lessee and lessor accounting models. Thanks to all of you who attended a round table event.

Your feedback from the round table discussions, as well as from written submissions received, will help the NZASB develop its comment letter to the IPSASB.

There is still time to put in written submissions on these important proposals. Submissions to the NZASB close on 31 May 2018.

Have your say...

Before issuing a finalised accounting standard the NZASB and international standard-setting boards—such as the IASB and IPSASB—issue exposure drafts. These seek your feedback on proposals that will potentially affect you.

We are currently consulting on the matters set out in the tables below.

We welcome your comments and feedback, either formal or informal, by the due dates below.

Part No. XT934 | Votronic Solar Charge Controller High efficiency 165W 12V Dual Battery MPPT

Votronic Solar Charge Controller High efficiency 165W 12V Dual Battery MPPT

POA Please call: 01858 432700
or 0116 2430975

Price includes VAT

We are proud to offer this exceptionally rare 165W 12V solar charge controller which boasts a unique combination of both MPPT and Dual Battery functions. This best-selling model is the very first of its kind; combining two highly sought-after features to create a previously unprecedented type of solar charge controller. German design, engineering and manufacturing also ensure unrivalled quality and reliability.

Dual Battery Capability :

This high quality 165W 12V dual battery solar charge controller is designed to charge and protect 2 batteries simultaneously, with automatic cut off to prevent over-charging. This makes it a perfect solar controller for a caravan, motorhome, boat or any other system with 2 batteries (e.g. engine and leisure battery). The main battery will be charged with full available power, whilst the second battery will be trickle charged (max 1 Amp). Please note: this controller also functions with only one battery connected. In this case, 100% of the charging current will be passed to the single battery. A second battery may be added at any time.

Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) Technology:

Using the most advanced technology in the solar controller market, this controller specifically pinpoints the maximum power voltage point of the solar panel(s) as it varies depending on sunlight exposure and temperature. This ensures the maximum efficiency of your solar system and significantly outperforms standard PWM solar controllers. Another benefit of MPPT technology is the wide solar input voltage range - this controller can work not only with standard off-grid solar panels, but also with on-grid panels or solar panel arrays up to 50V. The maximum allowed input solar power for this controller is 165W.

Full Range of Protection Functions:

This charge controller features a comprehensive set of electronic protection functions to prevent reverse current at night (from the battery back to the solar panel), over-charging, short circuit and battery reverse polarity protection.

Advanced Battery Compatibility:

Unlike many other less advanced solar charge controllers, this model is 100% compatible with a broad range of battery types, such as Gel, AGM, Lead-Acid Flooded and Lithium batteries; with several different charging options available for each type.

This 165W 12V solar charge controller also has a connection socket for a remote meter which can be purchased separately.

vw t4 t5 t6 xtremevan conversion split charger systems and hiloroof fittersXtremevan (Camper Conversions Leicestershire) like many companies, started as a sideline / hobby in 2010 that grew rapidly due to the enthusiasm and knowledge of this market. Realising the potential of these products and being able to link it with current product developments, such as the power distribution unit for horse boxes. The horse box market wasn’t huge so we decided to focus on the smaller leisure vehicles such as T4’s and T5’s.

This made us realise that there was an opening for many more products that we could supply in conjunction with our electrical products. With having almost 30 years in the Automotive business (senior management) it was clear to us what was required to provide a faultless service along with good quality products at an affordable price.

Xtremevan supply regularly to traders and the public. The range of products on offer is expanding rapidly through customer requirements. Our high quality products and service is backed up by dealing directly with such names as Smev, Waeco, Calibre Wheels, Vango, we also stock many other big brand names such as CBE which help us to help you create your very own Xtremevan We are always happy to help and advice taking the pain or doubt away from either doing your own conversion or just simply advise about our products and services, and we have a string of recommended traders that we deal with should you want something that we can’t offer Many thanks Jay.

Stephen Lew-USA TODAY Sports

The Jacksonville Jaguars are in a weird place without a sure thing at quarterback, so should the franchise offer the farm to trade up for Tua Tagovailoa or Joe Burrow?

The skinny: The Jaguars own the No. 9 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. That spot may be too far down the order to land one of the premier quarterbacks in this year’s class.

The current situation: Jacksonville has two quarterbacks who are good enough to start in Gardner Minshew, who played very well for much of his rookie season, and veteran Nick Foles, who reaped in a bountiful free-agency deal last year.

Whether either of these guys is really worthy of being called a franchise passer is up for debate, however.

  • Minshew had a strong rookie season but also has limited physical skills and a lower ceiling than either Tua Tagovailoa or Joe Burrow.
  • He completed 60.6% of his passes (low for today’s NFL) for 3,271 yards with 21 touchdowns and six interceptions.
  • Foles was clearly overpaid in free agency. He had a magical run in Philly but has long been a journeyman backup due to his own physical limitations.
  • When the Jaguars first inked Foles to his big-money deal last March, we wrote that his contract was clear proof that drafting a quarterback — not signing one in free agency — was the best way to win long term in the NFL today. That still holds true.

The competition: If the Jaguars are indeed interested in a trade up during the draft to land Tagovailoa or Burrow, they’ll be facing stiff competition. Here’s who else might be hunting for their future franchise quarterback.

  • Cincinnati Bengals (No. 1 overall): Bengals are already talking up Joe Burrow and appear to be destined to stay atop the draft to land him.
  • Detroit Lions (No. 3 overall): Chances are the Lions will continue to stick with Matthew Stafford. However, they’d be smart to start over from scratch (more on that here).
  • Miami Dolphins (No. 5 overall): The Dolphins have already publicly thrown the gauntlet down with statements about having the draft capital to trade up if that’s what it takes to land their franchise quarterback (presumably Tua Tagovailoa).
  • Los Angeles Chargers (No. 6 overall): The Chargers almost certainly will not bring Philip Rivers back, and he seems intent on moving on as well. Tyrod Taylor is there, but we’ve seen that teams aren’t sold on him to lead their offenses.
  • Carolina Panthers (No. 7 overall): Rumors are flying around about Cam Newton being traded this offseason, and the Panthers will have to start over from scratch. The only reason we’re not bullish on Carolina going hard after a quarterback this year is that they could easily tank for Trevor Lawrence in 2021.

It’s pretty plain to see that the Jaguars will have a ton of competition for a quarterback this year, if they are looking for one. And looking at the cost it takes to move up into the top two in recent years, they’d be giving up an absurd amount of draft capital to leapfrog the teams below Cincinnati.

The verdict: As we mentioned in the opening statement, Jacksonville is in kind of an awkward situation with Foles still on the books for $33.9 million and Minshew showing some chops as a sixth-round rookie.

  • We’ve also seen that Jacksonville has the pieces on both sides of the ball to potentially make a run at the postseason.
  • The Jaguars also hired Jay Gruden to be the offensive coordinator, and it’s likely they believe he can help Minshew and/or Foles take a big step forward in 2020.

With all that in mind, and considering how much it would cost to move up from No. 9 to No. 1 or No. 2 to land Burrow or Tagovailoa (to beat the Dolphins to the punch), a trade up for one of these young stars in the making seems like a huge risk the Jaguars will not be willing to take.

The artist

As Damien Dufresne says himself: "I let my hands do the talking". His approach is totally new in that it's at the crossroads of makeup, body art, artistic direction and photography. The resulting complexity, technicality and beauty are impressive. Damien Dufresne, a make-up artist by profession for over 30 years, has always worked on images and has taken photographs of his face and body paintings for several years now. These ones in particular were shown in the Skin catalogue published by Assouline in 2014, which gained him international recognition. Accustomed to working with the most prestigious names in beauty, such as Amore Pacific, Intercos, Gamma Croma and L'Oréal, it progressively became apparent to him that photography would be a means to take things up a notch, to surprise and experiment using the different supports offered by his models' faces and bodies, without betraying their personality.  ...

« On me dit que je maquille comme un peintre et je le prends, bien sûr, comme un compliment.  »

About the artwork

Oscillating between romanticism and onirism, Damien Dufresne captures the intimacy of his subjects in order to paint on and work with their bodies. Due to the fact that, unlike canvas, skin perspires, breathes and resists, the resulting beauty is fascinating and the sentiment of fragility that shines through from his models is disquieting in its humanity. Yet, although the image is perfectly mastered, the rendering is not the fruit of a clearly laid down project. On the contrary, it is the outcome of a lengthy process where the image evolves through the coating of makeup, one colour leading to another, one stroke inducing another. It is at the same time a work of strength and of delicacy, might and gentleness, simplicity and sophistication, but above all it is extremely poetic

YouTube Optimisation Tips for Your Video Content

YouTube provides an invaluable platform for any individual or business looking to promote their products and services. Any business that can benefit from sharing their promotional videos should be uploading them to their own YouTube channel. That being said, YouTube optimisation can truly boost your profile, not only in terms of increasing traffic to your website, but also in terms of brand awareness, providing you with a cost-effective marketing and promotional tool.

With the guidelines around SEO frequently changing, make sure you’re up to date with what you need to do to ensure your YouTube channel is getting as many hits as possible with these top tips:

Keyword Research

Choosing the right keywords for your video and YouTube channel is vital for optimisation purposes. Research all the keywords your target audience are likely to use and add these to your content to ensure they find your video next time they search for your product or service.

Branding & Logo

Think about your channel in terms of your website and business brand. As much as possible, include quality images in YouTube Channel art.

Setting up your Channel and Profile Settings

It is important to get this right during the YouTube optimisation process:

A title should include your company name and the main keyword. For example, Hampden Garden Design & Maintenance | Vegetable Garden Tutorial

For your description, you should be thinking about keywords and search terms. Include links to your site and social media pages (website and social links can also be added to the channel art/banner). Make sure it’s focused and enticing. For example, Hampden Garden Design step-by-step video tutorials to help you design and maintain your vegetable garden.

Video Settings

  • Ensure your videos are engaging and relate to your business and website. Set one video to be the featured video of your channel, but choose carefully to ensure your featured video is clear, relevant and good quality. If you decide to hire a professional video production company, you can be guaranteed that the quality of your video will increase views.
  • Include your company name and keyword in the video title, plus 3-5 keywords and a website link in the video description. Remember, 160 characters are viewable in search results, so if your description needs to be longer, use headline text at the beginning. For example, Hampden Garden Design step-by-step vegetable garden tutorial – how to prepare your vegetable garden for winter.
  • Pick a high quality, relevant thumbnail for the video.
  • Use video tags based on keywords.

Once your video is uploaded you should take the time to ensure you’re promoting it as much as possible to increase engagement. Make sure you embed videos on your site, and link your blogs to your YouTube page. Increased traffic has a positive effect on video ranking. Allow comments & ratings too as this will also improve your rankings.

Customise playlists

YouTube allows users to create playlists of a collection of chosen videos. Creating a playlist of your videos means users can subscribe and be alerted when new content is added.

YouTube optimised videos will have a much greater chance of getting noticed and creating web traffic to your site, so it’s important you get it right. You can opt to have a professional video production company create your YouTube videos, benefiting from their expertise, saving you time and giving your promotional video the best chance of getting noticed by your target audience.

If you’ve spent time and money on creating a video to promote your business, it’s important to ensure it’s not just viewed, but also generating traffic to your website, raising your business profile and contributing to your brand awareness. Follow the YouTube optimisation guidelines above and you will be well on your way to creating a video that does just that.
