Fees, bursaries and scholarships
Fees 2016/17
|Senior School
|£5,234 per term and £15,702 annually
|Junior School
|£4,116 per term and £12,348 annually
Fees are paid directly to the GDST and include public examination fees and most text books. Fees can be paid termly in advance or by monthly direct debit.
Bursaries and scholarships
We know not everyone can afford to pay for their daughter's education which is why we offer means-tested bursaries. We also offer academic scholarships and subject-specific scholarships for girls with exceptional potential in art, drama, music and sport.
Through the GDST, over £10.5m of funds are allocated annually across its school network to fund bursaries and scholarships to make schools accessible to all able students. Bursaries and Scholarships are available to students joining a GDST senior school in Year 7 or Year 12. We regret that applications for bursaries and scholarships for students entering other year groups or applying late cannot be considered.
For girls joining in Year 7, we offer both academic scholarships and scholarships in art, drama, music and sport.
There are also awards and exhibitions for direct entry to the Sixth Form. In addition, two HSBC Global Education full bursaries are available for Sixth Form applicants from state schools.
If you are interested in being considered for a bursary, please indicate this on your application form and the Admissions Team will email you the relevant log-on details for our online application system. You will be notified if your application has been successful when places are offered.
Academic scholarships
There is no need to make a separate application for an Academic scholarship as all girls are considered based on their performance in the Entrance Exam and Interview and their school report. Shortlisted girls will be contacted after the Entrance Exam and asked to attend a further short assessment consisting of a group and individual interviews. You will be notified if your daughter has been successful when places are offered.
Subject scholarships
The drama, art, music and sport scholarships are usually worth 15% of fees and stay with a girl throughout her school career. You apply for your daughter to be entered for a scholarship and if your application is successful, you will be invited for an assessment. The specific criteria and the application form for each type of scholarship can be downloaded here (link to the Prospectus & Application Form page). These forms should be returned with your application form. You may apply for a scholarship after you have submitted your application form as long as it is before the applications deadline.
Your questions answered
What is the difference between a bursary and a scholarship?
A bursary takes account of academic merit, but every bursary is also means-tested and its value is related to the income and financial resources of the pupil's family. The maximum value of the bursary can be the full published fees; however awards for full fees are rare and the amount of any bursary award will depend upon local demand and available funding.
A scholarship is awarded on academic merit as measured in a competitive Entrance Examination or assessment and irrespective of financial means. The value of scholarships varies, but most scholarships are small and are about the honour of the award than the amount. However, a scholarship can be supplemented by a bursary.
We expect awards to continue from Year 7 (or Year 12) to the time a student leaves the school in Year 13. However, the continuation of any award is subject to a student's behaviour and good academic progress which is reviewed annually.
How do I know if I financially qualify for a bursary?
Most bursaries will be awarded to students from families with a total income of less than £34,000 per year and with no capital assets other than their home. It is highly unlikely that a bursary would be awarded to a family whose gross income is more than £54,000, other than in exceptional circumstances.
GDST schools aim to assist as many families qualifying for bursaries as possible; however, given the demand, we are not usually able to offer support to all of those qualifying. Where support is available, this is rarely equivalent to the full fees, regardless of the level of eligibility.
Once awarded, GDST bursaries are reviewed annually to take account of significant changes in family income and circumstances.
Year 12 candidates from state schools may be eligible for means-tested bursaries as part of the HSBC Global Education scheme. Please ask us for further details.
How do I know if my daughter is eligible for a scholarship?
An academic scholarship is awarded on your daughter's performance in the Entrance Examination, Interview and subsequent Academic Scholarship Assessment.
Drama, art, music and sport scholarships are awarded based on a demonstration of talent and commitment to the specific scholarship subject. This is assessed in two stages; information that accompanies the initial application for a scholarship and then an assessment/audition in person.
Please look at the criteria for each scholarship on the application form page and check the dates for entry and assessment.
Can I apply for more than one scholarship?
You may apply for more than one scholarship for your daughter but please be aware it is rare we would award a child numerous scholarships. We know that parents are very concerned about the effect of testing and the competition during the admissions process, so please check the entry criteria for each subject-specific scholarship.
If you have any further queries about bursaries or scholarships please contact our admissions team on 020 8557 7004 or email@example.com
School Blazer supply our new school uniform and PE kit is supplied by Schoolwear Solutions Ltd. Both are ordered online. Junior School book bags and satchels are ordered directly through the school. For more information, including price lists, please visit our uniform page.
At the Junior School lunches are compulsory and charged termly.
From September 2015, following the completion of extensive renovation of our dining and catering facilities, lunch is compulsory at Senior School for all Year 7, Year 8 and Year 9 students. From September 2016, lunch will be compulsory for Years 7 to 11 inclusive.
The cost of lunch will be invoiced termly with fees by the GDST. Girls in Senior School year groups not yet included in the compulsory lunch scheme pay for lunch each day using an Oystercard so they only pay for what they choose to eat. They can add money to their account in school and all students use an Oystercard at break time if they wish to purchase snacks and drinks. Full information will be given at new student inductions.
In the Junior School, fees cover most day trips and workshops but residential trips are an extra cost. In the Senior School day trips out of school and residential trips cost extra.

Peyton Manning has attended his first practice with the Indianapolis Colts since he had knee surgery just over five weeks ago.
Manning accompanied the Colts to their first practice session at the new Lucas Oil Stadium on Tuesday. He wore a team jersey and shorts, with an elastic band around his left knee.
He appeared to walk without much problem. Manning had surgery July 14 to remove an infected bursa sac.
Manning didn't wear pads and didn't warm up with his teammates before the practice session.
Coach Tony Dungy said Monday that Manning might begin practice next week.

We were created for relationship with God. The yearning for pleasure and satisfaction in each of us is that core need of relationship with our creator. Yet, disobedience-sin- hinders us from reconciling with God. The Bible confirms that "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." (Romans 3:23).
God is perfect and holy and the only way for a reconciled relationship with god is for a penalty to be paid for our sin. A penalty that would cancel the debt of sin. The Bible presents us with Good News. It states that "God so loved the world that He gave us His One and Only Son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life" (John 3:16). The life that this refers to is the satisfaction found in a reconciled relationship with God.
As unbelievable as it may sound, God sent His only Son to earth to live a perfect life and then to die as a punishment for OUR sins. His Son, Jesus, took the penalty of our sins for the purpose of reconciling our relationship with God.
While this gift from God is free it is not automatic. To receive the gift of forgiveness and a reconciled relationship we must seek it. The Bible says "You will see Me and find Me when you seek Me with all your heart" (Jeremiah 29:13). (taken from "Who is the Greatest Dad Ever?" tract)
So, the question for each of us is: if your Father in heaven loves you so much He would send His Only Son to earth to pay a penalty He didn't deserve, but you couldn't pay, so that you could be adopted into His family and be a child of the One True God, will you seek Him and accept His offer of adoption?
The first thing Jesus said to His disciples was "Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men." This same charge has been given to us. We are to be made into fishers of men so others can be made into fishers of men. This is the purpose behind the Great Commission. We do this by living the Great Commandments. The Great Commandments are:
- Love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength
- Love your neighbor as yourself.
Jesus Himself said all the law and prophets rest on these two commandments.
Come visit us and learn first hand what we are about. We look forward to meeting you!

Murray's original deal was set to expire next summer but having soared to the top of the scoring charts in the Championship, the 30-goal striker has been rewarded with a two-year extension.
The forward, 29, told the club's official website: "I'm delighted to get it all sorted. Obviously it's been mentioned a few months ago but now we've got to the end of it and signed, so yes, it's good news.
"I've got some real good memories here. Obviously this year's been a great year and Old Trafford in the League Cup stands out last year. Scoring 30 goals is something that I'm immensely proud of and the whole season has gone really well so far.
"I think we've been a little more attacking this year which has benefited me immensely and having Wilfried (Zaha), Yannick (Bolasie) and the guy in the pocket, and lately Aaron (Wilbraham) who's been playing up front with me, there's been a lot more support around me which has created more chances for me."
Palace boss Ian Holloway, whose side can clinch a play-off spot this weekend, added: "There's not many strikers around in my time who have got 30 in one season. Hopefully he can get a few more to get us up as well, so it's great news for the club.
"What he's done is phenomenal because with those two [Zaha and Bolasie] they beat people, you never know when the ball's coming in and his timing of how to get there, when to get there and his reading of what they do is quite exceptional.
"It's not just that, it's his work rate. He leads the line and how he brings other people into the game is as good as I've seen to be honest."

Equinox is a physical therapy practice in Sarasota, Florida. We specialize in treating people with dizziness, vertigo, balance problems and facial paralysis.
VOR stands for the Vestibular Ocular Reflex. This is basically the coordination that one has between head and eye movements. The way it works is this: when a person is moving their head, the ears send information to the brain to tell the brain how the head is moving. The brain then uses this information to coordinate the eye movements so that the person can stabilize their gaze on an object even though their head is in motion. We do this all the time! For instance, if I am talking to someone, and nodding my head yes or no, then I am using my VOR.
When a person has a weakness in one ear following an inner ear infection, for example, the brain that was used to getting the same amount of information from each ear, realizes that the information from the two ears is no longer balanced. The affected side is not sending the same amount of information as the healthy ear anymore. Initially, this can cause dizziness, nausea, and imbalance. To avoid these symptoms, patients will often avoid head motions. While this may seem logical at first, to continue avoiding head motions only makes the problem worse. You see, the brain needs to learn the difference that now exists between the two ears, and the only way the brain can do this is by experiencing the movement! The brain won't learn how to recalibrate itself if the person continues to avoid moving their head. By doing the VOR exercise, we force the brain to pay attention to the inner ear information when the head is moving, because the brain must in order to coordinate the eye motions and allow the person to keep their eyes fixed on the target without the target looking blurry, double, or as if it is jumping around…
Initially, this exercise may cause dizziness, or increase the person's baseline dizziness. The patient should first do this exercise at a slow speed, and for a short duration (30 seconds). That way if the exercise causes dizziness, the dizziness should dissipate in a few minutes after stopping the exercise. With practice, the exercise will no longer cause dizziness or nausea. Once this happens, then we work on increasing the duration of the exercise little by little until eventually they can do it for 2 minutes and feel fine afterwards. At that point, we work on increasing the speed of the head motion, so that the brain learns how to process faster and faster head motions, and not feel dizzy. After that, we move on to other variations. You see, there is a progression to the exercise, and a vestibular specialist will be able to teach you how to do the exercise correctly, and guide you in your journey toward recovery.
Man with His Head Full of Clouds- Painting by Salvador Dali, 1936
Levanna Doing Exercise, painting by Maria Primachenko
The Vestibular Ocular Reflex (VOR) is the mechanism that allows a person to keep their eyes on a fixed target while their head is moving, for instance when you are looking at your friend and nodding your head "yes" or "no". The reason we are able to do this is because our inner ear system acts like little gyroscopes that tells our brain when our head is in motion. Your brain then takes that information, and tells the eye muscles what to do to keep your eyes on the target.
The VOR exercise is especially important when a person has had damage to their inner ear system. The brain, which was used to getting normal inner ear information previously, will have to relearn how to use the information that has lessened due to illness or injury.
I'll give you a common example. Let's say that a person has an inner ear infection that affects their Left inner ear system, and decreases responsiveness of the Left vestibular system (the balance part of the ear) to send information during head motions. When the person now moves their head, the left ear is sending less information than the healthy right ear. This difference in input to the brain being sent from the two ears can result in symptoms of dizziness, nausea, or unsteadiness. Ironically, some patients will avoid moving their head so that they don't get dizzy, but movement is the only way for the brain to learn how to use the inner ear information again!
Vestibular Ocular Reflex exercises help the brain through this retraining process, because the exercise forces the brain to receive inner ear information and practice using it to keep the eyes on a fixed target. Patients start with slow head turns, keeping the eyes on a fixed target placed on the wall at eye level 4 feet away. They start in a seated position and move the head 20 degrees to each side in a back and forth head motion. They also do the exercise in an up and down head motion as if nodding "yes". As they are able to do the exercise symptom free, we increase the duration of the exercise to 2 minutes.
The next step is to gradually increase the speed of the head motion. If you are doing the exercise correctly, your symptoms will decrease over the next few weeks. If you aren't doing the exercise correctly, you may think the exercises don't work! This is why working with a vestibular specialist is so important. If you are not improving, they can figure out what you are doing wrong and help you learn how to perform the exercise correctly, and hence, recover as much inner ear function as your body will allow.
Connoisseurs of Books (Knowledge is Power), by Nikolay Bogdanov-Belsky, 1920
My physical therapy practice in Sarasota, Florida, is devoted to helping people with balance and inner ear problems. So you may be wondering why I am writing about visual problems The reason is: vision is extremely important in maintaining good balance! We use our vision to understand where we are in space, and how to negotiate obstacles in our environment. As adults, we have an idea of what good vision is, and we are likely to notice if our vision changes. But what if the person we are talking about is a small child, maybe even an infant who may not be able to communicate or recognize that he/she is having a visual problem? This child, in addition to a visual problem, could also be experiencing a balance problem, because we know that good vision and good balance are closely connected.
I was lucky to be talking about this problem with my friend and associate Dr. Mohamad S. Jaafar. Dr. Jaafar is Professor of Ophthalmology and Pediatrics at the George Washington University, and Chief of the Division of Ophthalmology at the Children's National Health System, Washington, DC. He is passionate about training young doctors to be experts in his field and is the Past-Director of Washington's Pediatric Ophthalmology Fellowship Program, which is the oldest, largest, and most renowned such program in the world.
Dr. Jaafar and I want to help parents recognize visual problems in their children, so that they know when to seek help. Bear in mind that there is an association of eye diseases in some children who have hearing loss (such as retinal dystrophy, cataract and misalignment of the eyes). Dr. Jaafar was kind enough to provide this top 5 list, so that parents know what to look for if they suspect their child may have a visual problem.
TOP 5 Signs of Visual Problems in Children
1. Bumping into things or acting clumsy.
2. Always sitting close to the TV or holding books and I-pads too close to their face.
3. Crossed or wandering eyes.
4. Tilting or turning the head, or assuming a chin-up or chin-down posture (ocular torticollis).
5. Disliking having one eye covered but not the other (may indicate a "lazy eye" – amblyopia).
If your child is showing these signs, was born prematurely, has multiple health problems or a family history of eye diseases in childhood, it is a good idea to consult an eye doctor who is experienced in treating infants/children. Please remember, a TOP 5 list is not all inclusive. If you have questions about your child's vision, go and see a specialist or ask your Pediatrician. Dr. Jaafar suggests that you could find a qualified doctor in your area by going to the following website: https://aaosso.aapos.org/ebusaapos/FindanEyeMD
Strangled by Growth, by Emily Carr 1931
Acoustic Neuromas are nerve sheath tumors surrounding the vestibular or cochlear nerves. The vestibular nerve is the balance nerve that goes from the inner ear to the brain. The cochlear nerve is the hearing nerve that goes from the cochlea to the brain. When the tumor grows, it can press on the nerves as they travel through a boney canal to reach the brain. This is how the tumor can damage a person's balance and hearing. Also in this boney canal is the facial nerve. Damage to the facial nerve can result in facial paralysis.
At Equinox Physical Therapy, we specialize in treating people who have balance problems or facial paralysis as a result of acoustic neuromas. The majority of these patients come to see me following surgery, or radiation to the tumor. A few months ago, I had the pleasure of speaking to the members of the Acoustic Neuroma Association in Sarasota, Florida. They had the idea to videotape the talk for the members who were unable to attend the meeting. They were so pleased with the video, that they asked me if they could post it on their national website. The title of the talk was "The Vestibular System and How it is Affected by Acoustic Neuroma". If you would like to learn more about this topic, you too can watch the video below.

The New Labyrinth with Black Holes by George Saru, 1996.
Last year I wrote an article for my blog about anxiety and inner ear problems based on the research by Dr. P. Ashley Wackym. It turns out that it has been one of my most frequently visited blog posts! Last October 2015, I saw Dr. Wackym again when we were both attending the 7th International Symposium on Meniere's Disease and Inner Ear Problems in Rome, Italy. During our discussions, I learned of a recent research article of his that was published in the ENT Journal (Ear, Nose and Throat) that studied people with a type of inner ear problem called Superior Semi Circular Canal Dehiscence (SSCD). This is a condition where the bone between the inner ear system and the brain erodes causing symptoms of imbalance, headache, dizziness, tinnitus, cognitive dysfunction, nausea, subjective hearing loss, visual disturbance, aural fullness, objective hearing loss, hyperacusis, and vomiting.
Although I don't usually post scientific articles on my blog because I want the information to be easy for the average lay person to understand, for those of you with SSCD, you may find the information interesting… If so, feel free to read Dr. Wackym's research paper!

Do you like to learn by listening and watching? If so, you may enjoy coming to a free lecture that I am giving next week. The title of the talk is "Understanding and Treating Dizziness and Balance Disorders with Vestibular Rehabilitation". I will be co lecturing with Dr. Jack Wazen, MD. Spaces are limited, so if you would like to attend, please register online here, or call 941-556-4219.
Hope to see you there!
It's that time a year for the annual trip to the Christmas tree lot. When a person has Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV), bending the head down, or tipping the head back, can trigger a vertigo spell. It goes without saying, that if you are standing on a ladder and reaching overhead to hang something on a tree, you definitely don't want the world to spin!
So this is a tip for those with holiday cheer and vertigo, let someone else do the ladders, and the reaching overhead and bending over! If you have positional vertigo, aim for the ornaments in the middle of the tree where you can keep your head level. This way you won't have to worry about triggering the vertigo, and potentially falling and getting hurt during the holiday session. Or, if you live alone, you could get a smaller tree this year that is 3 feet tall, and place it on a small table so that you can decorate it without having to tip you head back or bend over too much…
For those of you with balance problems or BPPV, give yourself the present you deserve, and go and see a trained vestibular specialist and get treated for your problem. That would be the best present of all!
Happy Holidays! - Dr. Laura Wazen, Equinox Physical Therapy 941-404-4567

"Woman Tying Her Shoe", Painting by Pierre-August Renoir, 1918
Do the shoes you are wearing matter when you have a balance problem or a history of falling? The answer to this question is ABSOLUTELY!
I still remember the lady who came to see me for balance therapy in Sarasota, Florida with complaints of falling. She was wearing 5-inch stilettos that didn't even have an ankle strap! Now I ask you, do you have to be a balance specialist to know that maybe this is not such a good idea?
So what is a good idea?
1. A FLAT shoe is the best, avoid shoes with a high heel if you can tolerate a flatter shoe.
2. A shoe with a flat WIDE HEEL is better than a small pointy heel. The wide heel provides a more stable foundation when shifting your weight.
3. NO FLIP FLOPS or SLIDE style shoes. These loose shoes can cause a trip and fall.
4. A shoe with a SNUG FIT around the HEEL is important.
5. STRAPS or LACES that tighten- Don't just slide your feet in and out of your shoes. If they have Velcro straps or laces, use them to make your shoe secure. Ankle straps should fit snuggly.
6. For people with peripheral neuropathy, avoid shoes that are too cushioning as they decrease your already limited ability to feel the ground.
7. Make sure that your toes are comfortable in the shoe, as you use your toes to stabilize your balance.
BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo) is the most common type of inner ear problem, comprising approximately 25% of all inner ear problems. It is caused when crystals in the ear that are supposed to sit on top of the nerve fibers in a jelly like matrix, become loose and start floating in the semi-circular canals of the ear. When this happens, the person can experience a spinning sensation (vertigo) that lasts for seconds and is triggered by changes in head or body position. For instance, it happens when getting in/out of bed, bending over, or tipping your head back.
In answer to the question, "Can people have BPPV in both ears?" the answer is YES. About 40% of people can have it in both ears at the same time. The good news is that if the condition does not go away on its own, it can be treated with maneuvers to guide the crystals back into the part of the ear where they belong.
If you think you have BPPV, I encourage you to find a qualified doctor or physical therapist, who can test to see if BPPV is your problem, and if it is in one ear or both ears. The proper testing leads to the proper treatment, and to the proper cure…

Money Matters (Selected Part of Letters from Aunt Evelyn), conceptual art by Barton Lidice Benes, 1982.
This is an article that I thought I would never write. When I first started working as a physical therapist, I worked for a big hospital in Manhattan. I never had to think about insurance, because basically the hospital accepted every type of insurance there was! In fact, these were the days when there was no such thing as a co-payment. When co-pays did come along, for many years the hospital never attempted to collect the 5 to 10 dollars per visit. But that was 17 years ago, and a lot has changed now.
Things really started to change after Obama care. I not saying that I am either for or against Obama care, I am just saying that things are very different now. For example, in order to have insurance, many families are choosing insurance where the deductible is 5 to 6 thousand dollars per year! This means that the patient has to pay the first 5 or 6 thousand dollars in medical services, thus meeting their deductible, before their physical therapy services are covered. In addition, the person usually has a co-pay required at each physical therapy session, which can be as high as 50 to 75 dollars per visit with some plans. Take the time to consider these factors when choosing your insurance needs.
At Equinox Physical Therapy, we check a patient's insurance benefits before they even arrive for their first visit. I am a standard Medicare Part B provider for out-patient physical therapy services. That means that I accept standard Medicare Part B because I am committed to treating people over 65 years of age who have balance problems, dizziness, vertigo, falls, inner ear problems, concussion, or facial paralysis. I don't want my Medicare patients to fall and break a hip, when I know that I can help them to enjoy their retirement in sunny Sarasota, Florida, and live a long and healthy life! Medicare pays 80% for out patient physical therapy services, and most people have a secondary insurance that covers all or part of the remaining 20% of the bill.
As far as other types of insurance, I see patients who do not have Medicare, but some other type of insurance, and in these cases I am classified as an "out-of-network" physical therapy provider. Because I am not a major hospital, I cannot accept every insurance under the sun, because it would be too much for my small practice to manage.
Why would someone come to me, an out-of-network provider, when they could see someone in-network instead? That should be your next question. The reasons are probably many. When I see a private insurance patient, they pay me, and then I give them the papers they need to submit their physical therapy bills to their insurance company. Then, their insurance company will reimburse the patient directly for whatever their out-of-network physical therapy benefits are. The patient calls their insurance company to verify their benefits before they even step inside my door. They know exactly the percentage that their insurance company will reimburse them, and the percentage that they will have to pay of the remaining bill.
Again, why would someone come to me instead of going to his or her "in-network" provider? For one thing, many of these patients have BPPV, a condition that causes vertigo and seriously interferes with their ability to work, or function properly. With this condition, it usually goes away if treated properly in 2-6 sessions. So, it is not such a big expense to come see me. If they have a big deductible, they will have to pay either way. At least if they come to see me, they know they are being seen by someone who treats this problem 3-4 times a day, as opposed to someone who has little experience, or only treats this problem occasionally. For patients with conditions that take longer to treat, they come to me because they know that their chances of having a good outcome are enhanced if they have the best possible therapist that their money can buy, because again, they still have to pay the large deductible either way. Other patients come to me because I am a specialist in treating inner ear disorders, concussion, falls, dizziness, and facial paralysis, and their "in-network" therapists are not.
Another point to consider is the co-payment. Because I am out of network, I do not collect a co-payment. For those patients whose co-payments are 50 to 75 dollars per visit, the difference between their co-payment and what they have to pay me may be the same, or not much more.
If you are considering going out of network for your out-patient physical therapy services, here are a list a questions that you should ask your insurance company to help you decide if going out of network is right for you or your loved one. One thing to remember is that you, the patient, have the right to receive services from any physical therapist you choose.
1. Do I have out-of-network physical therapy benefits? If not, what does that mean?
2. Am I eligible to receive direct reimbursement from the insurance company for my physical therapy visits?
3. What percentage of the money I paid at my physical therapy visit will you, the insurance company, reimburse?
4. Do I have an out-of-network deductible to meet first?
Artwork: Here is a Sign by Forrest Best, 1970
How do you know if you or someone you love, such as an elderly parent, may need balance therapy? Below are 5 signs that balance therapy could be right for you. If it is, contact a physical therapist that specializes in balance therapy so that you can improve your health and decrease your risk of falling.
The bottom line is we want you around for a long time! A fall could cause an injury that would jeopardize your livelihood, and your functional independence. For those older folks, it could mean the difference between living independently on your own, or having to go to a nursing home- so take it seriously!
5 signs that a Person needs Balance Therapy:
1. Any fall that created a serious injury in the last 12 months.
2. Two or more falls without injury in the last 12 months.
3. Needing more that 1 attempt to rise from a chair.
4. Walking touching the walls & furniture for support.
5. Having a fear of falling is a significant risk factor for falls.
If you answered "yes" to any of these 5 signs, don't wait to do something about it. Find a qualified vestibular specialist who can help you improve your balance. You can use these web sites to look for vestibular specialists in your area.

Be empowered. Balance therapy CAN change your life!
Prospective Chromatique, Abstract art by Martha Boto 1972
Several years ago I was working at a hospital in Manhattan, and I was trying to get a patient out of bed. They didn't want to get up, or do their exercises, even though that was what they needed to do to get better. I remember the patient, because I was working on the open heart surgery floor at the time. The patient got really mad, and demanded to know how I could I possibly help them, because I had not had open heart surgery and therefore didn't know what they were going through.
Thank goodness for all the physical therapists, doctors, and nurses in this world that we do not need to have every disorder there is under the sun before we can help patients! Yet, I understand how the patient feels at the same time. Sometimes it is comforting to know that you are not the only one who knows what it feels like to have a condition. My vertigo patients sometimes ask if I have had vertigo. Luckily, I have not, but I work with people who have vertigo every day. One of my patients offered to tell her story of how vertigo and BPPV was affecting her life. I hope her story helps those of you out there who do not know someone with vertigo, and that it gives you comfort that you are not alone, and that there is hope that things can get better.
Flying People by Karel Appel, 1971
From a medical terminology stand point, vertigo is the sensation that the world is spinning around you, or that the world is still and you are spinning. But what's it really like?
From a personal standpoint, everyone experiences vertigo differently. I have had many patients who seem to have a mild case, and find it to be mainly an annoyance. In the case of BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo), there are some patients who only experience the spinning when getting in and out of bed, and since the spinning only lasts less than a minute, the person finds it to be more of a nuisance than anything else.
I have also had patients who complain of dizziness and imbalance only (not a spinning sensation), and then when I test them for BPPV it turns out they have BPPV after all. There have even been times when the nystagmus (spinning of the eyes) is extremely strong, and the patient denies feeling dizziness or spinning at all!
On the other hand, I have some BPPV patients who have an incredibly strong case of BPPV, and the vertigo sensation feels incredibly violent and awful. Sometimes it causes nausea, and can be very frightening. One of my new BPPV patients last week had such a strong sensation of spinning that she said she would rather get her other hip replaced than have to have vertigo again. She felt like she could control her pain with a hip replacement, but she couldn't control her vertigo.
I have also had BPPV patients who are so afraid of their vertigo, that they don't want to do the repositioning maneuver because they might feel the spinning again. Of course, this is not a logical or viable option, because if they don't get treated they are very likely to have continued vertigo, but if they do get treated they are very likely to make the vertigo stop. What would you choose? So far, no one has refused treatment once they really understand that this is their best alternative.
Luckily for those with BPPV, the vertigo only lasts for seconds. And again, luckily for BPPV, most people respond to the repositioning maneuvers, and we are able to stop their vertigo.
Painting: Le golf by Emilio Grau Sala, 1961
BPPV hit the international stage this last week at the 2015 US Open Golf Tournament in Chambers Bay when Australian golfer Jason Day suffered an attack of vertigo and fell to the ground. It's not every day that people all over the world are talking about and witnessing the debilitating effects of a vertigo attack...
I have been surfing the net, looking at the video footage, and listening to and reading the various commentaries that people are posting. The bottom line is that BPPV is a real drag, and it is horrible in general, but especially difficult if you are trying to play golf. Why do I say that? It is because we know that head or body motions trigger BPPV. The crystals in the inner ear become out of place, and when we bend over, tip our head down or back, or turn quickly, it can trigger the vertigo. Needless to say, it is pretty difficult to play golf without bending over or turning your head quickly, not to mention playing championship level golf and competing with people who are not having this problem.
The good news is that BPPV can be treated! Living in South Florida, I treat a lot of golfers who have this condition. All they want is for the vertigo to go away so that they can get back on the golf course. My BPPV patients in Sarasota, Florida couldn't stop talking about Jason Day, because they knew how he felt, and hoped that this international exposure of the condition might help others understand what they are going through.
The most common treatment for BPPV is a repositioning maneuver where the head is moved in a certain way in order to put the crystals back in the part of the ear where they belong so that the person no longer has vertigo. There are several treatments that will do this, including the Epley Maneuver, Semont Maneuver, or the Foster Maneuver. These 3 treatments are for the Posterior canal. (The inner ear has 3 canals and each canal requires a different treatment). If maneuvers do not work, there is a surgery to occlude the canal where the crystals are floating, but this surgery is only done in the worst of cases and for very few people since most people respond to the repositioning maneuvers. Also, sometimes BPPV goes away on it's own.
If you are having vertigo, you need the proper diagnosis in order to get the proper cure. Some of the people who were commenting on the Internet were talking about other causes of vertigo, such as Meniere's Disease, and offering advice on what they do to control their vertigo. The treatments for BPPV and Meniere's Disease are completely different, and what works to help Meniere's Disease does not work to treat BPPV (and vice versa). I would recommend that if you are having vertigo, do not take antidotal advise from a layman with no medical training. Go and see an Otologist (an ENT physician who specializes in treating inner ear problems), or a vestibular therapist (a physical therapist who specializes in treating inner ear problems) who can test you for this problem and get down to business in helping you find the correct answer to your problem.
A former patient recently came back to see me due to an article he received from the Harvard Health Letter. I thought it was a good article, and wanted to share it with you. Maybe you, or your parent, or loved one, need to think about how using a rolling walker could improve safety and independence. An evaluation by a physical therapist would help in determining if you could benefit from balance therapy, and if using a rolling walker is a good idea. In the case of my patient, he was so happy with the walker because now he is able to walk without assistance of another person, and he can walk for much longer distances than he ever could with his cane alone.

Painting by Edvard Munch, 1943: Self-portrait. Between the Clock and the Bed.
When you live in one part of the country, and your elderly parents live in another, it can cause a lot of concern and worry -especially if your parent starts to have issues with falling. In the last blog, I wrote about fall alert buttons. This is a good idea, but it only helps after the fact, that is, after the person has fallen. This week, I would like to write about 6 simple things that you can change in the home that would lessen the chances of a fall happening in the first place.
1. Remove all throw rugs, these are just things to trip on.
2. Install good lighting in darkened entrances, hallways, and staircases.
3. Install sturdy grab bars in the shower and bath areas.
4. Use night-lights, especially from the bed to the bathroom.
5. Install a banister or railing anywhere there are stairs or steps.
6. Have a phone on the bedside table, so no one needs to run to answer the
phone when half awake.
Hopefully, these simple fall prevention ideas will help your loved one to be safe at home. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure! If your parent needs more help, or is falling despite already having a safe home environment, then they need to go and see a physical therapist who specializes in balance training and fall prevention in the elderly. The therapist will evaluate your parent, and then design an individualized treatment plan to address their specific balance needs.
Who can forget the commercial when fall alert buttons first came out,where the individual is lying on the floor and yells out "HELP! HELP! I've fallen and I can't get up!" I do not want to make light of the situation, because being in such a vulnerable situation is awful. I know, because I once dislocated my kneecap when playing with my dog in the front yard. I didn't have my cell phone, and I was on the only one home at the time, and I had to lie there for a half hour before some stranger walked by who could get me the help I needed.
Many times when an older person lives alone and has started to have some falls, the kids who lives out of state starts trying to get their mom or dad to get a fall alert button. It is hopefully a back up plan that they will never need to use.
When the emergency call buttons first came out, they worked through your phone. Back in the day, this was what we now call your "land line". It meant that you had to be within 200-300 feet of the phone in order for it to work. You can still get this kind today, but I don't recommend them. When one patient of mine from Sarasota, Florida, fell in her yard when gardening, she was too far away from the phone for it to work.
These days, there are fall alert devices that work via GPS. That means you could be anywhere, push the button, and they would find you! One of my "snow bird" patients who went back up to Maine for the summer pushed the button just to see if they would answer, and they did!
Another one of my patients fell when stepping off the curb on the way home from the theatre one night. He is a huge 6-foot tall 250 lb man, with an itsy, bitsy wife, and she was not able to help him up. All she had to do was push the button, and the paramedics knew where to find him. She didn't have to figure out what address she was at, fiddle in her purse to find her cell phone, or risk hurting herself trying to help him up. She just had to push the button that was hanging around his neck.
So the gist of the message is that even fall alert devices are using GPS technology, and you might as well take advantage of good technology that could really save your life. The best way to compare the different plans is to do a Google search for "GPS Fall Alert Buttons", and check out what comes up.
Painting: The Fall of Icarus- Marc Chagall, 1975.
Peripheral neuropathy is a condition of the nervous system that causes numbness, tingling, pins and needles sensation, or complaints of pain in the arms and legs. The pattern of the altered sensation starts in the toes or fingertips. If the condition worsens, this feeling gradually climbs up the foot or hand, as if you are putting on a stocking or a glove. In the legs, the condition can go above the ankle, but for most of the patients I have met, it has been less common for it to travel above the knee. This problem can occur when a person has diabetes, or it can occur without any history of diabetes.
Sometimes people have it off and on. Others say that they only notice it at night when they are lying in bed. Others have these altered sensations constantly. Some people say their symptoms are mild, and they basically ignore it, while others have severe symptoms that can be annoying, painful, or debilitating.
If the peripheral neuropathy is severe, it can affect one's balance. This seems to be the case if a person has peripheral neuropathy, in addition to other problems such as visual or inner ear disorders. The reason for this is that the sensation that we have in our feet sends messages to the brain that tells our brain how we are shifting our weight. Our brain uses this information, in addition to the information it gets from the inner ear balance system and the visual system, to tell our joints and muscles what to do to maintain our balance. Usually our brains can compensate when one of these systems is sending poor information, but it is very tough to balance when two or more of these systems are not sending good information (for example, a person has peripheral neuropathy in addition to an inner ear problem and/or a visual problem).
Medical treatments to decrease the pain and discomfort of peripheral neuropathy need to be discussed with a physician.
Treatments to decrease the imbalance caused by peripheral neuropathy need to be addressed with a physical therapist that specializes in treating complex balance problems. I would recommend a vestibular specialist.
With many of my physical therapy balance patients in Sarasota, Florida, as we work together to evaluate their peripheral neuropathy further, we come to recognize that even though the sensation in the feet is altered, the brain has the ability to re-learn how to use the information even though it is not how it used to be, or "normal". When the peripheral neuropathy is so severe that the person cannot feel the ground at all, compensations such as walking with trekking poles or a cane can make a big difference, because then the person can learn how to substitute feeling the ground with the cane for the missing sensation in their feet.
If you are having problems like these, there are things that can be done to help.

I still remember when I first heard that cancer affects one in three dogs. I was at an agility trial fundraiser for canine cancer research and the organizers asked anyone touched by the disease to raise their hand. Almost everyone had their hand up.
It's a scary statistic that hit home recently. Three of my friends have lost dogs to cancer in the last month. The disease has become so commonplace that last week there was an Internet hoax last week about a canine hero who was diagnosed with Hemangiosarcoma.
So I thought it was a good time to review the National Canine Cancer Foundation's 10 early warning signs of canine cancer:
Between research and early detection, hopefully one day we'll be able to make cancer a thing of the past.

Share the post "Vasquez And Nascimento Square Off In A Must See Co-Main Event at XFCi 3"
On Saturday, March 29th, XFC International goes right back to work; providing high level mixed martial arts to the rabid fans in Latin America, and across the globe on Rede TV. On a card already stacked with exciting tournament bouts and a high-profile Main Event, the XFC found a way to sweeten the deal by adding a 2nd "Super Fight" to the card. Chilean Matias Vasquez and Brazilian Allan Nascimento will go head to head as XFCi 3's Co-Main Event of the evening.
Coming off a loss in his last fight of 2013, Chile's Matias Vasquez (10-3) is hungry to get back into the win column; a place he's been 10 out of his 13 professional fights. Seen as one of his country's hottest prospects, Vasquez is used to traveling to see the level of competition he knows it will take to catapult his career to the next level. A win against Nascimento in Sao Paulo will unquestionably gain Matias the wide-spread recognition he desires. With 6 submissions and 1 Ko under his belt, Vasquez is a proven finisher. However, the fight within the fight on March 29th, will be to figure out a way to stop a man that nobody has been able to stop.
Sao Paulo, Brazil's Allan Nascimento (11-2) is on the brink of stardom by anyone's standards. At just 22 years old, Nascimento's mind-blowing stats are what jump out the most when you look at this kid on paper. 14 professional fights, 11 wins, 10 submissions and 1 Ko for a finish rate of 100%, never been stopped in a fight, all at high level competition…a ridiculous resume for a fighter still in the infancy of his career. When you add the fact that he recently took UFC star Will Campuzano to a judge's decision, it's easy to see why a lot of eyes will be on Allan Nascimento this Saturday night.
XFC International Matchmaker Eduardo Duarte shared his thoughts on his highly anticipated Co-Main Event: "This is one of my favorite fights on the card. Both these guys are highly accomplished grapplers, on the edge of stardom, and they both know and respect that about each other. So, I see these guys possibly nullifying each other's ground attack and deciding to stand and test each other's striking. I think it could really turn into a slugfest. What I know for sure is, it's going to be an entertaining, fan friendly fight. Vasquez doesn't lose at 135 pounds and Nascimento finishes fights. I won't be surprised at all if this bout steals the show."

I know a lot of people in football are opposed to having transfer windows, but I quite like the idea in principal.
Having said that, I would prefer it if they did away with the January transfer window and just had everyone do all of their business in the summer, except in extenuating circumstances. That way, clubs would have to be a lot wiser with their money as they spent it on assembling a squad they had faith in rather than being too impulsive with their signings.
I think the January window makes clubs feel pressured into buying players, and a lot of money goes to waste.
In the summer, there are no serious matches to worry about, and you have plenty of time to put together a transfer policy and make signings for the coming season. In January, you have to do all of that in the space of a few weeks while the games are also coming thick and fast. It causes people to panic and rush into spending.
A good example of that is Andy Carroll joining Liverpool 18 months ago. I find it hard to believe that they had any interest in him prior to Fernando Torres leaving for Chelsea, and then they hastily completed one of the most expensive transfers of all time in a matter of hours.
Had Torres been sold earlier in that window, then Liverpool probably would have gone elsewhere and found much better value. As it turned out, they paid out a £35 million fee that has hung over both the player and the club ever since.
Whenever a player arrives at a new club for a big fee it creates a buzz around the place. That could be a positive or a negative thing. I remember that when Stan Collymore arrived at Liverpool for £8.5m in 1995, there was definitely a feeling in the dressing room that this guy had better be good. That was nothing against the player himself, but the fee he arrived for definitely caused a stir which perhaps didn't help him settle. It might be a similar situation with Carroll now.
Carroll is clearly a very good player who could do well at a number of top clubs in the Premier League, but the Liverpool he signed for was a very different place to the one he finds himself at now. He joined at a very confused time at the club, and though their future now looks more settled it is apparent that he is not part of it. The problem is two-fold: Liverpool don't want to give him away, but they do want to sell him.
The main thing about all of this is the career of Carroll. He is a 23-year-old lad who should be playing every week in the Premier League. If that can't happen at Liverpool then it should be happening somewhere else. It is all well and good saying you want to stay and fight for your place, but it is just as important to know when to move on.
For the sake of his career I hope he gets a move this week to one of the clubs that has shown long-term interest in him, like former club Newcastle or West Ham, and that he is not the subject of another hasty transfer on deadline day in January. After all, the last one didn't work out for him.

- Top with grated cheddar cheese.

Oh man is this soup good. Even with the small amount of half and half used, it tastes rich and creamy. I used butter rather than olive oil but that's the only change I made.

Painfully slow.
The Support Forums will be in read-only mode for a scheduled maintenance window on 01 September 2016 14:00 UTC - 20:00 UTC. More information.
Painfully slow.
I know about it, i'm working on it, please be patient :)
Mmmmmh just a question, what browser are you using ? (and the version please)
Firefox 20
Please check out the new version.
I did change anything in the media selector yet.
But the other part of the plugin in must be faster !
I'm waiting for your feedback
Thanks for the nice plugin. It's very promising, however the vertical scroll doesn't work in my system (wordpress 3.5.1 in mamp), which means that after adding a few folders, the individual images are no longer visible. Also, it would be nice to have a delete option for folders and images to allow us to clean up the media library.
The scroll bar appear but you can't scroll right ?
You are able to delete empty folders and images.
You want an option to delete severals folders / images in the same times ? Or you want to delete folders even if it's not empty ?
Thx for your feedback.
Correct, scroll bar appears but doesn't scroll.
Maybe not good idea to delete folders if not empty, but several images, yes. Thanks
Ok, i think i fixed the scroll with this version, please try it and tell me if it's ok.
For the multi deletion it is a feature, i will see to develop it in next version.
Download the new version you will get the fix and the feature you ask to delete some medias at the same time.
This topic has been closed to new replies.

Hello there - and lots of thanks for your great contribution. Currently i am suffering the following issue:
When trying to upload an image/a video/a link to BP activity stream, the specific "ADD" (Photos/Links/Videos) button is not working. Strange by the way: The "CANCEL" button IS working.
Would you please have a look over it? You of course my try the things on http://www.tomlandon.net
I have made my own three icons for movie/link/image. So if you would like to have them for your plugin, be free to take them as a tiny contribution out of my hand. :-)

READING, WRITING, AND RAISING THE DEAD When Chess Putnam is ordered by an infamous crime boss—who also happens to be her drug dealer—to use her powers as a witch to solve a grisly murder involving dark magic, she knows she must rise to the challenge. Adding to the intensity: Chess's boyfriend, Terrible, doesn't trust her, and Lex, the son of a rival crime lord, is trying to reignite the sparks between him and Chess. Plus there's the little matter of Chess's real job as a ghost hunter for the Church of Real Truth, investigating reports of a haunting at a school in the heart of Downside. Someone seems to be taking a crash course in summoning the dead—and if Chess doesn't watch her back, she may soon be joining their ranks.
As Chess is drawn into a shadowy world of twisted secrets and dark violence, it soon becomes clear that she's not going to emerge from its depths without making the ultimate sacrifice.
Thank you for stopping by.

Before the last update, the login url was completely masked. It kept most login attempts by botnets outside. Which was really good. Now, you are required to fill in a passcode (like Google Authenticator, only the code stays the same for ever, until you change it).
Would be awesome if I as the admin could use both the masked url as well as the passcode. I know, this only provides basic security, but hey.. it worked before. Now most botnets will try anyways, which I don't want them to.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of organizations do you fund?
The Rose Hills Foundation supports qualified tax-exempt charitable organizations for the benefit of Southern California with a current emphasis on organizations based in and serving Los Angeles County.
From time to time, the Directors may elect to support nonprofit organizations of special interest, which are within the Foundation's broad charter but may be outside of the Foundation's current areas of emphasis. Such grants are initiated by the Directors at their discretion; unsolicited proposals are not accepted for special projects.
What are the Foundation's areas of interest for grant making?
Preferential attention will be given to organizations based in and serving Los Angeles County that exhibit the following positive factors:
- A history of achievement, good management, and a stable financial condition
- Programs that are self-sustaining and will not necessitate continued dependence on the Foundation
- Significant programs with the promise of making a measurable impact
- Programs where the Foundation's gift is matched or multiplied
- Programs consistent with the Foundation's current funding priorities
- Programs which will benefit people of Southern California
- Programs which will reach the greatest number of people at the most reasonable cost
- Organizations that allocate a high percentage of their operating expenses directly to their programs
Are there any deadlines?
The Rose Hills Foundation accepts and processes applications for grants throughout the year with the expectation of grant distributions every three months. Depending on timing, requests are reviewed at one of five annual Board Meetings. At times, there may be an approximate wait of up to six months prior to a request being reviewed.
How do I apply to the Foundation?
See Application Procedures.
Should I send in my request via courier service or FedEx?
On or after September 15, 2015, the Foundation will only accept new inquiries online. Please refer to our Application Procedures webpage on how to proceed.
How do we check on the status of our request?
On or after September 15, 2015, the Foundation's online application system will automatically notify you after taking our eligibility quiz whether or not your organization qualifies to submit a formal, online application. The Foundation staff will correspond with you via email on how to submit a full application after reviewing your eligibility.
What is the range of dollar amounts that the Foundation grants and over what time period?
Grants may range from $10,000.00 to million dollar commitments. The Foundation's Directors may opt to grant less than the amount requested, depending upon resources available, or to spread payments over more than one year. As a general rule of thumb, the Foundation asks applicants to justify their request amount based on the program/project's total budget, and limits multi-year grants to a period of two years.
May we request a grant for ongoing operating expenses?
Yes. The Foundation is interested in supporting efforts that expand or enhance services and organizational capabilities.
Within higher education, are there some disciplines which are preferred?
The Foundation is willing to consider proposals for academic purposes in disciplines that represent a high priority for the institution. We recognize that each institution is different and that priorities may change over time. It may be useful to discuss several options with the Foundation's President before submission of a proposal.
We do not fund endowments or endow scholarships. We do fund expendable scholarships and have a strong interest in the fields of natural sciences and engineering.
Does the Foundation fund capital campaigns and expenditures?
Yes. Grants are made for specific projects with capital expenditures such as land or facility purchase, new construction, equipment or renovation. The Foundation generally prefers that 70% or more of the capital project has been raised before considering the request. At present, the Foundation does not support capital projects for private, independent, or parochial schools (K-12).
Does the Foundation support other types of capacity building projects?
Yes. Grants are made for specific projects that strengthen an agency's ability to achieve its mission and goals. Some examples are: hiring additional management personnel, instituting a strategic fund development plan, introducing new technology, or adapting services to a new program model.
We have a project that appears to fit within the Foundation's guidelines. Should we set up a meeting with the Foundation staff to present our ideas?
Generally, the best first step is to review our application procedures and grant guidelines. On or after September 15, 2015, there will be an online eligibility quiz that may clarify the Foundation's priorities and interests for the project you are seeking funding. You are welcomed to contact the program officers for clarification about the Foundation's interests or to seek further assistance regarding our online application process.
What is your policy on site visits and in-office meetings?
The Foundation's President may be available to meet with organization representatives but due to the limited time available, a phone/email consultation is encouraged and often equally useful. Site visits will be initiated by program staff as needed and as time allows.
Do you conduct site visits to all organizations that have submitted a formal application?
We visit most of our applicants in person. The program officers determine the most effective methods by which to gather additional information they may need and will contact you to schedule time to review your application.
If we do not pass the Foundation's eligibility quiz, what should we do?If you do not pass the eligibility quiz, please email either of the Foundation program officers for feedback on what can be improved. In your email please copy and paste the list of eligibility questions, and a program officer will follow up with you. Please also note that not passing the eligibility quiz will not prevent your organization from completing the quiz again within the next year.
How much time must elapse between applications?
Applicants may submit a proposal one year after the final payment of a grant has been disbursed and all requirements have been received. Beginning September 15, 2015, all applicants will be screened via an online eligibility quiz; written/paper inquiries will no longer be accepted. After submitting an application, if your request does not meet the Foundation's guidelines and current program interests and you are notified via online or written notification, please wait twelve (12) months from the date of declination before contacting the Foundation again.
Our organization is a current grantee. How do we submit our progress report, final report, or other reporting requirements online?
Current grantees with progress or final reports due on or after October 1, 2015 will receive an email from the Foundation's online system requesting that the grantee create an account. Once an account is established, the Foundation's online system will allow grantees to attach and upload any outstanding reporting requirements and supporting documents. If your organization's primary contact does not receive the email at least fifteen days before your requirement is due, please contact the Foundation program officers.Is there any advantage to contacting Foundation Directors directly?
Contact with Foundation Directors about a grant application is normally not encouraged. However, we recognize that there are professional and personal relationships which may make contact reasonable. It should be emphasized, however, that the application process remains the same for all qualified organization, and all final decisions are the result of a careful staff analysis, followed by an assessment and vote of the entire Board of Directors.
If I have more questions, who do I contact?
For general inquires not answered in our FAQ page, please direct your emails to Ingrid Hillebrand, Grants and Office Manager, at firstname.lastname@example.com. Please use the subject line "General Inquiry."
You may view a copy of our IRS Form 990 at Guidestar.org. Copies of our IRS Form 990 and 1024 may also be obtained by written request to the Foundation. Thank you.

Here is quote from product page I ordered from at www.tradersaccounting.com:
"Your purchase has a 100% satisfaction guarantee. If for any reason you are not fully satisfied, we will promptly and cheerfully refund 100% of your purchase price."
But they claim this only applies if you never open the product, is that NUTS?
How could you know if you are dissatisfied or not if you don't open it?
I ordered two products, turned out to be the same thing with different titles, so I tried to return one of them per the guarantee from the web page I ordered from and this was their excuse for not giving me a refund and accepting a product return.
When I asked mr Crimmins in an email to explain how this return policy works, what does it mean to him to say "If for any reason ... " he never answered any additional emails.

James DeGale To Split From Promoter Frank Warren
Olympic gold medallist James DeGale (11-1, 8KOs) is to split from manager Frank Warren.
The 24-year-old shot to prominence four years ago by winning middleweight gold at the Beijing Games.
DeGale turned pro later that year and joined Warren's promotional stable along with fellow Olympians Billy Joe Saunders and Frankie Gavin. He suffered his first loss as a pro last May, when rival George Groves won a majority decision. Groves later signed with Warren.
DeGale confirmed his split from Warren on Friday in a statement released to Press Association Sport by the boxer's solicitors, Blick & Co.
The European super-middleweight champion from Harlesden, London, said in the short statement: "I think it is time for both of us to move on."
