Leros Acquires AAA Worldwide Transportation
The acquisition will allow the New York-based company to continue to grow its New Jersey footprint.
NEW YORK CITY — Before you jump in and take off, we've got 10 tips to make any post-wedding getaway a great escape. Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines...
1. Don't limit yourself. Okay, let's say you're the traditional types who just can't bear the thought of speeding off in anything that doesn't come with a mini-bar — your local limousine service has the souped-up options to roll away in that you're looking for. Test-drive everything from the classic white Rolls-Royce (seats 2) to the stretch SUV (seats 22) to the super-lux limo-bus (seats dozens). And while we're breaking the rules, who says your getaway vehicle has to be white? A shiny, black limo offers the high-society, I'm-with-the-President look.
2. Go all the way. Many transportation companies offer more than just the wheels and will pull out all the royal stops for you and your groom, what they call the "wedding package." Often you can find the "red-carpet treatment" where the driver literally rolls out a red carpet (that's right!) to the door. You can also request that your favorite romantic comedy or your make-out CD be cued up in the car's entertainment center. And many companies will stock the vehicle with chilled champagne and caviar. But just when you think you've hit the ceiling of ultimate luxury, you can ask for one more thing... the horn that toots "Here Comes the Bride." Now that's class.
3. Keep an open mind. Where in the bridal rulebook does it say that you have to leave your reception in a limo? (How many times do we have to tell you to throw that old book away?) We can think of scads of other options that'll zip you off in style. You can go for something with personality — a VW Microbus (think Haight-Ashbury and free love, baby!); a Harley-Davidson with sidecar (straddling anything in a gown is just plain tacky); or an old-school trolley (it's not just a San Francisco treat). Or slip into something a little more Beverly Hills — a cherry-red Lamborghini, a jet-black Camaro SS, or a silver BMW Z3 roadster.
4. Save in sneaky ways. The great thing about wedding-day transportation is that it's the part of planning where you can save the most, and still ride in ultra-posh style. For example, think about a one-trip wonder. If you're making a grand entrance, rent a vehicle for the arrival (and drive your own wheels home). On a similar note, if you're going to take off with the whole party watching, best to get a fancy mobile for the farewell. Pinch pennies by signing up for an hourly rate, rather than an entire evening. That way, you'll pay for the car and driver combo only when it's being used — and not when it's sitting idly in the parking lot of the reception.
5. Know the owner. Although it might not seem like a big deal, it's a good idea to know who actually owns the vehicle you're renting. If the transportation company you're dealing with doesn't have the car you're looking for, they'll often "borrow" a car from another vendor (and basically pay them a rental fee). Here's where it gets sticky — since you're one more middleman away from the wedding car of your dreams, you leave the door open for lateness or, even worse, a no-show. If you have your heart set on a particular car, you'll be better off finding a vendor that actually owns the one you've got in mind.
6. Express yourself. You needn't feel limited to automobiles — period. For example, a horse-drawn carriage has become the option of those brides looking for an all-out Cinderella experience (a bit much, we think, but to each her own). We're talking about a little self-propelled action: with one of you sporting "Just" and the other "Married" signs on your backs, hop into a pair of in-line skates or onto a scooter, or peddle away on a bicycle built for two.
7. Add variety. Why be a one-car couple? In just one wedding day, you've got so many chances to get folks (and yourself) all revved up. If you can't decide between the stretch Hummer and little green Beetle, choose one for the way to the wedding and one for the way home. Don't think that you have to get the same type of car for everyone in the wedding party — maybe indulge your attendants in some four-wheel-drive action, but have Mom and Dad roll up in a sweet midnight-blue Porsche. Show off more than just one set of hot wheels.
8. Spread the wealth. While you're maxing and relaxing in all-out style, let your guests in on some of the transportation fun. A luxury bus (seats 50-75) has become a popular — not to mention a super-safe — way to transport family and friends (no drinking-and-driving worries, no guests lost between the ceremony and reception). And what's a wedding vehicle without a sign? Equip your party bus with an announcement along both sides: "We just watched Jen & Andy tie the knot!"
9. Get a contract. We never tire of saying it: Don't even think about hiring your transportation vendor without getting everything in writing. And we mean everything: arrival time (pad an extra 20 minutes for safety's sake); reception departure time; addresses to and from where you're going; the size, color, and model of the car (with the license-plate number if you've chosen something specific); the name of the driver you want; gratuity; plus any special requests that you have. You'll have peace of mind — and a piece of paper — to ensure it all goes smoothly.
10. Stock the car. When the party is over the real party will just begin, so make sure you've got the supplies. Enlist a bridesmaid to pack up a small after-the-festivities package for the two of you to indulge in as you make your getaway. Include something to eat because — trust us — you'll be hungry (the more protein, the more energy you'll have for after-hours activities); something to drink (water, soda); a comfy blanket (for snuggling); and something protective to slip on. Ahem... we were talking about slippers.

Papa, We're in Syria | Radio Atlas
The Cameron Years (BBC Radio 4) | iPlayer
Radio Atlas is the intriguing podcast strand curated by producer extraordinaire Eleanor McDowall. I've written about it before, but just to recap: McDowall finds excellent audio (documentaries, soundscapes, interviews) from places where English is not the spoken language. She adds a simple translation, which pops up onscreen as you listen. And that's it. The wonder of the podcast is its unexpectedness. You don't know what you're going to get until you press play.
The other wonder is, of course, that you're not simply listening. Unlike most audio, Radio Atlas requires you to stop doing whatever else you have planned (cooking, driving, walking the dog), because you need to look at the screen as well as listen to the sound. You have to concentrate. This leads to an experience much more akin to reading a book than watching a film. You imagine how people look, where they are. It's remarkably evocative.
Anyway, I recommend the strand to you as a general good thing, and I also particularly recommend a recent episode: Papa, We're in Syria. Winner of the 2017 Prix Europa for best European radio documentary, this is a story that seems familiar. An ordinary German family is pulled apart when the two grownup sons convert to Islam, and run away to join IS in Syria. Although we read about such things happening, it's rare that we hear from all the characters, that we're allowed inside the conversations. But in this case, the father, Joachim Gerhard, a successful businessman, kept phoning his two boys, Klaus (25) and Mike (18), and leaving them messages. He recorded these, as well as the phone conversations he had with them. In these, the boys sound determined and world-weary. They believe that their course is the only true path; that their father's way of life, geared, as they see it, towards work and money, is wrong and unholy.
I don't want to spoil the tale for you, but Gerhard goes to the border in Turkey to try to see his children. This is a touching story, and I'm very glad to have heard it. I salute McDowall's dedication to championing the best – experimental, out-there – audio.
The Cameron Years isn't any of these things. Instead, it's an example of what Radio 4 does well: letting an informed journalist do their job. In this case, Steve Richards examines recent political history to unpick Cameron's prime ministership. The first episode, as you might expect, focuses on Europe and the Brexit vote. The interviewees have differing opinions. Some saw Cameron as a solid European (Ken Clarke); others saw him as pragmatic – in the EU, but only if it advantaged the UK (George Eustice). It's interesting that both these supposed Cameron viewpoints were the same as those of the person speaking. He seems to have reflected everyone's views back at them, so they all thought he was on their side.
You don't hear from him, or George Osborne. The closest you get to Cameron is Ed Vaizey, who tried to persuade Michael Gove to campaign for Remain; and Oliver Letwin, who tried to do the same with Boris Johnson. The Cameron Years vividly explains the febrile Tory atmosphere that led to the Brexit vote. And it shows just how pie-in-the-sky the idea of going back on that vote is, sadly. Politics moves on. Everything in this programme is already ancient history. We are where we are.
Just time to mention Radio 2's planned shake-up of its schedules. And what a shake-up it is! Jo Whiley, who's certainly put in the hours, is allowed on during daylight (summertime) hours (5-8pm), as long as she's accompanied by a man: Simon Mayo. Mayo, one of the few Radio 2 men able and willing to share airtime equally with a female, is the right person to partner Whiley: the show will be good. Blues expert Paul Jones has been elbowed in favour of Cerys Matthews, and Sara Cox gets a new weeknight 10pm slot. It's progress, but incremental. I think we're meant to be grateful.

Is Suicide an Automatic Ticket to Hell?
You may remember we asked a poll on this question last week. Results can be seen HERE.
I grew up being taught that it is.
But is it true? Best place to start is "what sends you to heaven?" There is only one thing you can do to get you to heaven and that is trusting in the finished work of Jesus on the cross.
But isn't the converse of that true?
If there is not a good deed you can do to get you there, then we must stay consistent. Going to hell cannot be from doing a bad deed, but because of rejection of the thing that Christ has done for us.
Once you start naming specific sins that send you to hell then you have just minimized and made less than it is, the transaction that Jesus covered for us on the cross between Him and His Father.
Let's take a look at a person who committed suicide….Saul.

To address lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, asexual, intersex et al. (LGBTQAI+) health policy, we must consider the historical context of the population in the United States.1 Within the last twenty years, the legal system codified basic safety and fundamental rights for LGBTQAI+ citizens. The legal system makes change slower than most other systems in order to preserve the rule of law from the tidal waves of popular opinion, and law often follows and codifies established policy. In the United States, there is great discrepancy in social attitudes towards this community that the creation of anti-discrimination laws beget new policies across all areas of social systems (Harrison & Michelson, 2017). Consequently, new anti-discrimination laws prescribe the conscientious and meticulous undoing of systemic bias in all of our social services, from housing to health care.
According to Martos, Wilson, & Meyer (2017), LGBTQAI+ health care was born out of self-advocacy and self-determination from the beginning. In the mid-20th century, underground LGBTQAI+ activism groups began emerging, effectively birthing identity politics for the community (Martos et al., 2017). After the Compton's Cafeteria Riot in San Francisco in 1966 and the more widely known Stonewall Riot in 1969, during which the police raided queer spaces to humiliate and criminalize the community, organizers mobilized to carve out intentional queer spaces including community-based health organizations—in urban centers around the country.
Following these advocacy efforts and the removal of homosexuality from the DSM in 1973, care centers focused on LGBTQAI+ health emerged en masse in the 1970s (Martos et al., 2017).2 Due to rampant homophobia and transphobia among the medical and other care professions, the standard of care for LGBTQAI+ individuals was low, to the point where individuals would not feel comfortable disclosing lifestyle and health habits to providers for fear of discrimination. As a person's lifestyle intersects very closely with his or her health care provision and health outcomes, this is an unacceptable discrepancy. This hesitancy to discuss care with providers due to stigmatization—and thus harm reduction practices—may indeed be a key reason the HIV epidemic decimated this population in the 1980s and 1990s (King, 2011).3
Nearly fifty years after the riots sparking organizing efforts, and about twenty years after the initial case law identified them as an "unpopular political group" (Romer v. Evans, 1996), the LGBTQAI+ community continues to work aggressively towards undoing homophobia, transphobia, biphobia, heterosexism, and sexism in every area of social services. As LGBTQAI+ service provision is still an emerging area of law, policy, and health care for a high needs population, service delivery has much room for improvement (Martos et al., 2017).
As heterosexism, homophobia, transphobia, biphobia, and misogyny become less overtly enacted on LGBTQAI+ identified individuals due to statutory intervention,4 members of the community still experience structural inequities, which may limit their quality of life and cause long-term damage to their well-being (Eckstrand, Lunn, & Yehia, 2017). LGBTQAI+ populations experience higher barriers to healthcare than heterosexual populations (Eckstrand et al., 2017). The population also experiences an "increased incidence of sexually transmitted infections, mood and anxiety disorders, and intimate partner violence" as compared to heterosexual and cisgender populations and experiences poorer health outcomes across the lifespan (Lunn et al., 2017).
Lunn (2017) estimates that 2.4% of the general population is LGBTQAI+ identified and represents a cross-section of the general population. Though already disadvantaged, the community—due to its diversity across age, gender, socioeconomic status, ethnicity, and race—reflects the systemic inequities prevalent in the greater population (Krehely, 2009). Minority stress, often linked to poor health outcomes due to internalization of isms and externalized discrimination, is intensely compressed in these populations (Mule et al., 2009). Notably, LGBTQAI+ individuals of color are simultaneously pathologized as disease-carriers yet denied access to health care, culturally competent representation, and care provision (Lassiter, 2017). For the purposes of this paper, I choose to isolate the social problem of LGBTQAI+ health access disparities to the intersection of gender and sexual minority status, which is simultaneously broad enough to produce illuminative disparities in the way marginalized communities gain access to health care, yet discrete enough to provide specific examples of how care is out of reach for the most vulnerable in ways that transcend racial and ethnic identity.
LGBTQAI+ individuals who are female-identified (sexual minority women, SMW) experience higher barriers to health care and poorer long-term health outcomes than their heterosexual or male counterparts across race, ethnicity, and ability (Lunn et al., 2017). SMW experience poorer long-term health outcomes and higher barriers to health care than male-identified members of the LGBTQAI+ community or cisgender heterosexual women (Eckstrand et al., 2017; Lunn et al., 2017). SMW are less likely than gay or bisexual men to have a primary care provider and health insurance (Lunn et al., 2017). SMW are more likely to have chronic health conditions, such as obesity or substance use disorder (Lunn et al., 2017). Additionally, SMW are less likely to enroll in traditional employment, requiring them to secure insurance outside of the workplace (Lunn et al., 2017; Eckstrand et al., 2017). Consequently, the population as a whole is not likely to be engaged in workplace diversity initiatives and wellness programs, which help moderate risk behaviors (Eckstrand et al., 2017). SMW are also less likely to enroll in spousal health care due to lower rates of marriage among the population (Blosnich, 2017).
Even when SMW enroll in healthcare, they are less likely to experience quality of care and culturally-competent service provision (Blosnich, 2017). On the whole, SMW report lower satisfaction rates with primary care provision than their heterosexual or sexual minority male counterparts (Baldwin, Dodge, Schick, Sanders & Fortenberry, 2017). Lower satisfaction rates and lack of culturally competent service provision lead to difficulties in securing a continuum of care, which addresses chronic health issues and provides preventative care (Baldwin et al., 2017). Most indicative of structural inequity, the needs of SMW are not adequately reported or measured by researchers (Patterson et al., 2017).
People with means have access to quality health care (Marmot, 2005). In the United States, economic inequity rests at the heart of health care disparities (Fiscella & Williams, 2004). Women are economically disadvantaged as compared to men, after lower entry-level salaries and gross income disparities (Hegewisch & Williams-Baron, 2018; National Women's Law Center, 2017; Kirkpatrick, 2018). And—even after Obergefell v. Hodges—sexual minorities are less likely to enjoy the stabilizing economic benefits of marriage, such as dual-income households, spousal health insurance, domestic workload sharing, or provision in the event of illness (Eckstrand et al., 2017). Despite reports suggesting that SMW receive an earnings premium compared to heterosexual women, SMW make less than men, so SMW couples experience a compounding of the gender wage gap (Alexander & Ravani, 2016; National Women's Law Center, 2017). The earnings premium is marginal at best and does not undo the exorbitant gender wage gap. Indeed, poverty rates among female-identified same-sex couples are approximately eight percent, which is higher than poverty rates among heterosexual couples (S.K., 2016). Lastly, workplace discrimination destabilizes job security and then disrupts health insurance and continuation of care (Badgett et al., 2007). Consequently, health insurance mandates such as those advocated by the Affordable Care Act represent the single greatest barrier removal to health access (Housel & Harvey, 2017). Though the health insurance mandate is a promising start, the disproportionately low rate of health access for this population necessitates additional protections across all practice areas, such as provider training for culturally competent care, the expansion of anti-discrimination provisions, government collection of demographic data to track and assess population health outcomes, and youth education curricula.
LGBTQAI+ affirmative laws improve health outcomes because they legitimize individuals, improve societal attitudes, and—most importantly—lessen minority stress (Buffie, 2011). Because the community has only recently been legitimized through legal avenues—and thus has only recently been identified as a valuable data point to track in health care—there is a dearth of relevant research for interventions and health outcomes (Patterson et al., 2017).
Policy interventions exist at various system intersections. Continued legal legitimacy is a necessity. In 2017, sexual orientation and gender identity are still not protected classes (Foti, 2017).5 Providing government oversight of discriminatory practices and establishing a department or team to oversee these rules of law would improve equity (Mule et al., 2009). Mandating sexual orientation and gender identity inclusion in research collection would generate the data necessary to provide adequate health care to these populations by observing trends and practice solutions (Patterson et al., 2017). Provider education including training providers on asking the right questions appropriately, and encouraging more LGBTQAI+ individuals to enter care services would ensure that practice is inclusive, accessible, sensitive, and equitable (Lassiter, 2017; Mule et al., 2009). In addition, creating programming that builds self-esteem, body autonomy, and self-advocacy skills—such as those taught in many youth programs and Gender and Sexualities Alliance groups—may improve health outcomes through the creation of self-advocates and conscious consumers of medical care (Poteat et al., 2013).
Though the LGBTQAI+ community has still not achieved protected class status and there is much room for improvement, health policy has evolved to be more inclusive and sensitive to the specialized needs of the population. As funders and governments continue to promote evidence-based practice (Durso, 2017), social workers must push for sound evaluative processes and data collection to provide visibility to the population and create policies that reflect the true landscape of the LGBTQAI+ client experience.
We must continue to work towards macro-level policy changes at all levels of government, protecting the community from discrimination and wage disparity, and providing avenues for compliance and enforcement. To date, 47% of the LGBT population live in states that protect them from gender or sexual orientation discrimination in the workplace or in public accommodations (Movement Advancement Project, 2018). The establishment of localized LGBT government agencies—such as those developed in Philadelphia, D.C., and San Francisco—promotes civil rights policy, coordinates services across cities, develops infrastructure for culturally competent training, collects outcome data, and enforces high standards of service delivery (City of Philadelphia, 2018; DC Mayor's Office, 2018; San Francisco Human Rights Commission, 2018).
Similarly, the creation of an LGBTQAI+ serving bureau at the Department of Human Health Services (HSS) would serve as the appropriate tool for collecting data, enforcing policy, and making recommendations for future protections. In 2010, HSS recommended the collection of LGBT data collection through the Healthy People 2020 initiative (HSS, 2018). While doing so is an adequate step, mandating data collection in medical, U.S. Census, and American Community Survey records would further legitimize the population and ensure that pertinent data points are studied and reviewed—a critical step because much of the current reporting on LGBTQAI+ health comes from provider conversations and anecdotal evidence (Durso, 2017). We cannot know the true disparity without concrete quantitative data to support qualitative research.
LGBTQAI+ visibility in health care settings requires disclosure (Rondahl, Innala & Carlsson, 2006). SMW "look like everyone else…act like anyone else, and possess no identifiable or unique characteristic" (Willes & Allen, 2014). Disclosure of sexual identity or sexual practice is the gateway to informed care and selection of services (Smith & Turell, 2017). Sexual and romantic practice intertwine so closely with our physical and mental health that refusal to acknowledge them in health care is detrimental to the whole person approach to service delivery (Willes & Allen, 2014).
And yet, the burden for quality care currently rests on the client's self- disclosure, self-advocacy, and protection of one's own health information (Smith & Turell, 2017). Many providers do not ask their clients' sexual orientation because they assume heterosexuality, feel uncomfortable including sexual orientation in the psychosocial model of care, or do not consider it necessary due to their heterosexist lens and a misunderstanding of their clients' experiences (Rondahl et al., 2006; Talan et al., 2017; Spiekermeier, 2017). Worse yet, many SMW feel misunderstood or aggressed upon by their providers, or else forcibly outed, so much so that they do not want to engage in services again (Martos et al., 2017). This failure to deliver culturally competent, or even culturally aware, care by requiring clients to carry the burden of disclosure creates a fissure between the client and their care team, further exacerbating health disparities.
Enacting direct service policies that standardize best practice would help interrupt health care disparities from the ground up (Spiekermeier, 2017). As with all high-needs populations, a solution can revolve around investment in standardization of services, creation of treatment plans for specific needs, and empathic communication of care (Mehta, 2017; Spiekermeier, 2017; Eckstrand et al., 2017). Training providers on best practice, continuing professional education, and implementing standardized protocols would serve as a mezzo-level intervention for the protection of the community in direct practice (Spiekermeier, 2017). Service models that privilege flat affect, open-ended questions, non-judgmental questioning, and requesting permission in the delivery of care may yield the best results (Eckstrand et al., 2017; Mehta, 2017).
Lastly, in micro practice, social workers can promote early intervention by engaging youth in appropriate health education (Poteat et al., 2013). Young people who are more informed about their bodies and health outcomes tend to adopt healthier lifestyles (Da Silva Vilelas Janeiro et al., 2013). Affirmative health curricula teaching bodily autonomy build self-esteem and respect for persons, and prime participants to be conscious consumers of medical care (Keuroghlian et al., 2017). For children, this type of intervention can result in self-sufficiency and self-determination, and act as a protective factor over the lifespan.
Family is the first point of contact for youth in providing vocabulary and understanding body function and expression. Additionally, family members may act as gatekeepers to health services for youth. This dynamic may present a barrier for LGBTQAI+ identified youth who need to rely on their families for determination and care, which may be at odds with the youth's identity, expression, or behavior. Consequently, youth health education incorporating gender and sexual orientation may further legitimize identity and promote clarity for youth (Keuroghlian et al., 2017).
Equity rests at the heart of social work practice (National Association of Social Workers, 2017). Equity requires the fair distribution of services and resources, especially in a health setting (Omrani-Khoo et al., 2013). Although the concept of fairness is subjective, the modern understanding of equity means that we push services and resources towards those who need it most to maintain average—if not basic—access to social and economic survival. When working with people and communities that have been greatly disenfranchised, social workers are required by the Code of Ethics to consider the intersectional identities and experiences that restrict access to resources (National Association of Social Workers, 2017). Though the LGBTQAI+ community has been greatly disenfranchised, and is only just receiving the legal protection it deserves, cis and trans women in the community experience enormous inequity in the provision and distribution of social services, health care, and employment. We must consistently provide interventions at the macro, mezzo, and micro levels to promote economic and health parity for female-identified members of the LGBTQAI+ community.
- Until Obergefell v. Hodges (2015), the community was denied the right to marriage. This decision is significant in that the right to marriage is not the right to love unencumbered, but the right to retain financial and other benefits through the formation of a legally recognized partnership. Until Lawrence v. Texas (2003), the United States criminalized sex acts between two consenting adults. Again, this case illuminated the legal discrimination against a marginalized group and attempted to protect the community from government intrusion into personal affairs. Lastly, Romer v. Evans (1996) was the first federal case law protecting the LGBTQAI+ community from state-sanctioned "bare animus"—the intent to harm a politically unpopular group.
- At the same time, Gender Identity Disorder was codified in the DSM and opened the transgender community up to discriminatory medical practices (Martos et al.).
- Discussion of the HIV epidemic and its impact on LGBTQAI+ health policy with due diligence would require more words than permitted by this submission and is not entirely germane to the subject matter of SMW health disparities.
- On September 29, 2017, the United States voted against a ban on the death penalty for same- sex relations at a United Nations conference. Similarly, the United States Department of Justice filed an amicus brief—legal support which may influence case law—for Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Civil Rights Commission on September 6, 2017. This case is before the Supreme Court of the United States regarding the tension between first amendment rights of business owners and legal discrimination against the LGBTQAI+ community in the contracting of business services. Despite great strides for sexual and gender minority inclusivity under the Obama administration, homophobia and transphobia may be on the rise under this administration. For the purposes of this paper, I will operate under the assumption that society has made and is making great strides towards equity, which cannot be undone in a few, inelegant legal maneuvers.
- The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (n.d.) released an anti-discrimination doctrine for sexual orientation and gender identity, which provides supportive policy to stabilize the workforce for this population, and thus economic security and access to health care.

Ladenburg starts AIT Therapeutics at buy
Ladenburg Thalmann launched coverage of AIT Therapeutics (NASDAQ:AITB) with a "buy" rating and $17 price target. The stock closed at $5.50 on Aug. 4.
AIT is currently developing its proprietary nitric oxide (NOx) to treat lower respiratory tract infections, such as bronchiolitis exacerbations and nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM).
AIT's NOx is currently in Phase 2 development for the treatment of NTM and in Phase 3 development for the treatment of bronchiolitis. The company's lead program, NOx for the treatment of bronchiolitis exacerbations, which require hospitalization, is in Phase 3 development.
Analyst Matthew Kaplan writes that the company has already reported impressive Phase 2 data, showing NOx treatment resulted in a significant reduction in hospitalization time and a significant improvement in time to normalization of oxygen saturation levels.
"We are encouraged by the Phase 2 results and believe there is strong likelihood for a positive readout for the study based on the strength of the Phase 2 data in this patient population," he added.
Mr. Kaplan said Phase 3 bronchiolitis data is expected in the first quarter of 2018 and the program is on track for an NDA filing in the U.S. and EU by early 2019, with approval expected by the first half of 2020.
NOx also is in Phase 2 development for the treatment of NTM. AIT has already reported initial clinical data in two patients with NTM in the compassionate use setting.
Mr. Kaplan said the data from the two NTM patients showed a marked reduction or eradication of NTM colony forming units and an improvement in symptoms and well being of the two patients. Although limited to two subjects, "we view these data as very encouraging," with top-line data from the Phase 2 NTM study expected in the fourth quarter of 2017.
"We believe the program is on track to enter Phase 3 development in 2018 with Phase 3 data expected in mid-2019," he added.

The Book of Acts 16:11 tells us the Bereans were a mighty people that readily received God's Word. They were also known for their searching and studying of the Scriptures daily.
The Bereans at Bible Baptist Church are willing to teach, lead and care for those who are younger in Christ. These individuals strive to continue building our church in number, strength, love and faithfulness. They have a heart filled with compassion and their goal is to encourage the faithfulness of the next generation.
Our Bereans love to tell their testimony of coming to Christ. They are willing to let you know what their life was before they met Christ, and the change He made after they met Christ. The vision of the Bereans is to help train the young Christians. They have the knowledge, from the Word of God, to answer their questions.
We are studying the Book of Galatians that Pastor Terry Chick outlined and is leading us through.

Yesterday we learned that you can buy an entire island for $11 million, far less than the hundred-million-dollar condos popping up in Manhattan. So, you can spend one-tenth the price of the One57 penthouse, and instead of 10,923 square feet of glass-enclosed space, you'll get 3.5 acres of land, a private beach, huge swimming pool, a 6,100-square-foot main house, and several other properties on the complex. Now that we've given you a little perspective, tell us what you think about this comparison.

Record $150M Sony Building Penthouse Will Also Be the City's Biggest, Mon, March 2, 2015
Those who found themselves gobsmacked when news broke that the Sony building's penthouse would be priced at $150 million, look out, here's another jaw-dropping fact headed your way. TRD has reported that not only will the unit be the priciest in history if sold, but when complete, it will also hold the title of the city's largest.
At 21,504 square feet, the triplex trumps the competition; TRD reports that the two runners-up include a 16,270-square-foot pad at 3 East 95th Street, which sold in 2006 for $21.9 million, and a 13,063-square-foot condo at The Plaza Hotel, which sold in 2007 for just over $50 million. The city's most expensive sale recorded thus far—the $100 million penthouse at One57—measures a comparatively mere 10,923 square feet. The penthouse at the Phillip Johnson-designed building will boast eight bedrooms, eight full bathrooms, 10 powder rooms, a billiard room, two media rooms, a library/bar, wine room, gym and spa.

Sony Building Penthouse Will Ask a Record-Breaking $150M, Wed, February 18, 2015
There's a new priciest listing record in town, and it goes to the $150 million triplex penthouse at the Chetrit Group's Sony Building condo conversion, according to The Real Deal. The 21,504-square-foot unit will occupy floors 33 through 35 of the 37-story tower at 550 Madison Avenue and have a private elevator, eight bedrooms, eight bathrooms, and ten powder rooms. If it gets what it's asking for, it will break the record for the current highest condo sale, the $100 million penthouse that sold at One57 last month.

Penthouse Perfection: Peeking into Manhattan's Top Sky-High Listings, Thu, September 4, 2014
The penthouse craze began in the early 20th century thanks to media tycoon William Randolph Hearst. He took up residence in a three-floor apartment at the Clarendon at 137 Riverside Drive and, when his landlord refused to let him expand further, Hearst bought the entire building, adding two new floors to the top of his mansion, crowned by a new copper mansard roof.
Now, 100 years later, the rich and famous are still making headlines with their pricey penthouse purchases. Fellow media mogul Rupert Murdoch recently purchased a $57.25 million triplex penthouse, along with an additional full-floor unit (because why stop at just three?) at One Madison. His bachelor pad totals more than 10,000 square feet of interior space, wrapped in floor-to-ceiling glass. Is this the new standard for penthouse living? We're taking a look at some of the top sky-high listings in Manhattan to find out.

Hola, y adios!
I never thought I would be sending out my final group email! But, the time has finally come. I did have a great last week in the mission!
First off, Light The World brought us so many miracles! We participated in the little service projects every day which made us so happy! In addition, we found some great new investigators this week by showing the video on doorsteps, people love it! We found six new investigators this week from it! (Which is huge for this area!)
We noticed these sweet, little girls at church had lice last week. And, we knew their parents (sadly) weren't going to do anything about it. So, we decided we needed to go help them out. You know how you usually find a ton of eggs and just a couple of bugs? Well, we probably picked out 100 bugs. It was really bad! Later that day I went on an exchange with Hermana Jones (who is just the best and I was so excited to go on my last exchange with her!) She decided she would check my hair for lice that night, just to be safe. Sadly, I had a giant louse in my hair 😱 I ALMOST WENT MY ENTIRE MISSION WITHOUT GETTING LICE, AND IT WAS RUINED MY LAST WEEK! (It is normal for hermanas to get lice because we are around different people all day and we kiss their cheeks and touch heads.) So she coconut oiled up my hair and picked everything out the next day. Thankfully we just found the one bug, and it just managed to lay a couple of eggs. I am now clean! 😊
Tomorrow I will spend the day with the other missionaries that are going home and with my Mission President. Wednesday, I I fly back to Tulsa! (If anyone in Oklahoma wants to come to the airport with my family, I get in at 3:30 PM) That night I will be released by my ecclesiastical leaders and will no longer be a full time missionary. Even though I am leaving, I am not going back to the "real world." I hope to never become part of the world; I will rise above it! My mission was an experience that changed my life more than I ever thought it could. Though I hope I was able to inspire and help other people, I know I am the greatest convert that came from my mission. I will end my final email with my personal testimony! This is the message I went out on a mission to share:
Heavenly Father loves us all so much! He is our Heavenly Father, the Father of our spirits. There are no coincidences, everything is part of His plan for us. He wants us to return back to Him, so He has given us things to help guide us. One of those things are our families. We lived as a family before this life, and He has given us a way to be with our families even after this life. He gave us the scriptures to help guide our families. The scriptures were written by prophets (like Moses) and Apostles (like Matthew.)
A prophet is someone sent by God to be His mouthpiece on the Earth. As we see in the stories of Noah, Moses, or any Biblical prophet, it is important to listen to prophets because they can speak with God face to face (Exodus 33:11) and they know what lies ahead. We can know if someone is a true prophet or a false prophet by their fruits (Matthew 7: 15-16). Sadly, people always reject prophets, and the world falls into a state called an apostasy when there isn't a prophet on the Earth. All of the Old Testament prophets were preparing the world for the coming of Jesus Christ, our Savior.
Christ did so many important things! The most important thing is that He died for us. Because of that, if we accept that sacrifice and follow Him, we can return to live with our Heavenly Father again. Christ also taught, set an example for us, and performed miracles. Even though there were many different beliefs and religions when Christ came to Earth, He established His own church (Matthew 16:18), or rather, His teachings and organization. He also called twelve Apostles. He gave them a power called the priesthood; the authority to act in His name. In Matthew 16:19 we read that with this power they could bind things so they would be bound on Earth and in heaven. They could bind things like a family, so they family could together even after this life. They could bind a baptism so that it would be valid in heaven and not just on Earth. This power was so important! Christ gave them this power by the laying on of hands. Because they had Christ's power they could do some of the same things that Christ did like teach and perform miracles. (The prophets had this power too, that is how Moses parted the Red Sea.)
We read in Ephesians 2:20 that the Apostles were the foundation of Jesus Christ's church. They were essential! (There also had to be 12 of them, that's why they met together after Judas killed himself and chose Matthias to replace him.) Sadly, the people rejected Jesus Christ. He was crucified. But, three days later He resurrected (and lives today!) His church was still okay! The Apostles were still on Earth. They had His priesthood authority. They were the foundation of His church. They received revelation from Christ about how to guide His church, thus, it was still the church of Jesus Christ. But, the Apostles were teaching the same things Christ taught. The people rejected and killed Jesus Christ. They didn't want to listen to the Apostles either. They were also rejected and killed. The Apostles were the ones with the Priesthood power, when they were killed this authority was taken from the Earth. The Apostles were the foundation of Christ's church; If we take away a foundation of something it will fall down. Christ's church fell.
But, there were still good people that wanted to follow Jesus Christ and remember the things He taught. So, people began to form their own churches. They taught good things, but they lacked priesthood power. Many churches taught about baptism, but they didn't have the authority to perform a baptism that would be bound, or valid, in heaven. No one had the authority to bind a family. Marriages could only be performed "until death do you part." When the people died their marriage ended. This was another apostasy, like the other ones that had happened in the past. This one lasted a really long time (after all, the people on Earth rejected Jesus Christ himself.) But, Heavenly Father would've leave us in darkness forever. The way He has always ended an apostasy is by calling another prophet.
In 1820 there was a boy named Joseph Smith. He was only 14 years old, but he felt really confused about what church he should go to. They all read the same Bible, but they taught different things. Jospeh Smith only had a 3rd grade education, but he decided to read the Bible on his own. One day he read in James 1:5 that if we lack wisdom we should ask of God. So, Joseph Smith decided to pray and ask God what church he should join. So, he went to the woods by his house to say his first prayer out loud. He started to pray when, in his own words, he said "I saw a pillar of light exactly over my head, above the brightness of the sun, which descended gradually until it fell upon me. When the light rested upon me I saw two Personages, whose brightness and glory defy all description, standing above me in the air. One of them spake unto me, calling me by name and said, pointing to the other-- This is My Beloved Son. Hear Him!"
Joseph Smith saw God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ. Joseph asked them which church he should join. He was told to join none of them; the church of Jesus Christ was no longer on the earth. Joseph Smith was called to be a prophet. He was called of God to bring back Jesus Christ's original church, with everything that had been lost over time; Joseph Smith did not start his own church. Twelve apostles were also called. Three of Christ's original apostles, Peter, James, and John came to the Earth as angels to lay their hands on Joseph Smith's head and give him the priesthood authority of Jesus Christ that was lost. Because that power is on earth again a valid baptism can be performed and families can be bound together forever. Joseph Smith died, but another prophet was called. There is a prophet today! Thomas S Monson is the prophet of God on the Earth today.
We read in Matthew that we can know if someone is a prophet of God by their fruits. A fruit of the prophet Joseph Smith is the Book of Mormon. The Bible was written by prophets living in the Middle East. But, at the same time the Bible was written there were people living in other parts of the world. Heavenly Father loves all of His children, and He wanted everyone to know about Jesus Christ. So, he sent prophets to other parts of the world, as well. He sent prophets to the people living in the ancient Americas. These prophets wrote their experiences on plates. Eventually an apostasy occurred here too (a few hundred years after Christ died). The last prophet here, Moroni, was rejected and was about to be killed. He buried the plates in the ground. Joseph Smith was lead by an angel to find those plates, and by the power of God he was able to translate them (they were written in a very old language.)
The Book of Mormon does not replace the Bible. The Book of Mormon is a second witness that Jesus is the Christ. In it we read the experiences the prophets had in the Americas. The Book of Mormon has brought so much peace to my life! The Book of Mormon has brought me closer to my Savior, Jesus Christ.
There is a way you can know if all of this is true. You simply need to read the Book of Mormon and ask God if it is true. I know He will answer you because He answered me. When I was 12 I decided I needed to know for myself, so I read the Book of Mormon and prayed to ask Heavenly Father if it was true. He answered me through the Holy Ghost. I was able to feel the Holy Ghost and know it was true. Because the Book of Mormon is true, Joseph Smith was a true prophet. Because Joseph Smith was a true prophet, the church he restored is the church of Jesus Christ. That is why I went on a mission. There is a prophet of God on earth today! The heavens have been opened again! After centuries of being lost, the same church Jesus Christ himself established is back! We can have peace in this life, and we can live with God again and with our families after this life! This is the most important message; everyone deserves to know!
If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask me! I would love to give you a copy of the Book of Mormon. You can also chat anonymously with missionaries online at mormon.org and read the Book of Mormon on the website.
I love you all! Thank you for supporting me, loving me, and praying for me these last 18 months. I don't know exactly what lies ahead in my future, but I know it will be awesome!

Venturing into solo artistry for the first time in his musical career, Con is a killer, imaginative voice coming straight out of the St. Louis music scene. With his honest, merciless lyrics that deliver a deep and serious message backed behind a magnetic track, Con is the artist to look out for this year. As a young leader in today's thriving "DIY" community, his musical mastermind transcends easily across a number of genres, often birthing what most profoundly consider the explicit emerging sounds of tomorrow. It's safe to say that Con is a force to be reckoned with. This is quite obvious in his newest hit, "Free Dreams." Con's music is equipped with a true experience you don't want to miss out on.
"Free Dreams" is a song reminiscent of the rappers of the 90's such as Coolio and Public Enemy. Soaked with rhythms all his own and a lyrically substantial sermon, "Free Dreams" delivers a message about rising from the ashes of ancestors' past and coming out on top to make something out the struggles that have been faced. This tale deals with the Black American Narrative of dignity, confidence, and distributing success across the culture.
Profoundly influenced by African-American Muslim minister and activist, Malcolm X, the video for "Free Dreams" opens with a sound clip from a conversation between Malcolm X and Brother Baines, as seen in Spike Lee's 1992 film, Malcolm X, about the cons and lies African-Americans have been told for centuries in order to keep them from rising up. Unsettling clips showing past struggles in American society throughout the video, mixed in with Con's venture and experience of his own. Con's gritty, unwavering chronicle combined with the unshakable track creates a poignant experience bar none for its viewers.

political philosophy that supports economic liberalization
Neoliberalism is a term used by scholars and critics primarily in reference to the 20th century resurgence of 19th century ideas associated with laissez-faire economic liberalism.
|This theme article is a stub. You can help Wikiquote by expanding it.
- Neoliberalism, despite the claim by its adherents that it was simply an economic theory, was from its beginnings a class project articulated on behalf of the interests of capital.
- Marnie Holborow, Language and Neoliberalism (2015) p. 92
- In short, "neoliberalism" is not simply a name for pro-market policies, or for the compromises with finance capitalism made by failing social democratic parties. It is a name for a premise that, quietly, has come to regulate all we practise and believe: that competition is the only legitimate organising principle for human activity.
- Stephen Metcalf, "Neoliberalism: the idea that swallowed the world" (2017)

UConn Health Center Runs Into Tough Opponent: Ohio State
UConn experienced two heavy losses over the New Year's holiday. The Fiesta Bowl defeat to Oklahoma was disappointing, but achieving a BCS bowl game is still a notable achievement for a young I-A football program.
The other loss was to Ohio State. Not in football, but in federal grant funding from the Department of Health and Human Services. During the run-up to health reform, there was the potential for UConn to get a $100M grant for improvements to the facility. It was not a done deal, but subject to a competitive process. As with any competitive process, there was the potential for defeat. Similar to the bowl game, UConn put up a strong effort but fell short.
The funding loss is significant, but the long term question is this: What is the future of the Health Center? Can Connecticut taxpayers afford to subsidize the facility year after year? Can UConn continue to operate the John Dempsey university hospital? Can it be transformed into a sustainable facility?
It is an important issue, and no option should be off the table. The United States has about 6,500 hospitals, and that is very likely too many. Health reform, technology, and economic forces should lead to consolidation and contraction over the next decade. One of those economic forces is the financial status of individual states. Connecticut has a troubled financial picture, and might have trouble justifying pouring money into the Health Center year after year.
Having graduated from the institution, I favor scenarios that allow the entire facility to prosper, but it needs to be self-sufficient over time. Institutions such as Harvard Medical School prove it possible to have a medical school without operating a hospital.
The research capacity of the Health Center can be preserved, and students can continue to get a high-quality education. That part is easy compared to figuring out what to do with the hospital. A merger with Hartford Hospital came close, but could not overcome the challenges needed to move forward.
The Health Center's audited financial statements (the last complete year available is 2008), show operating losses increasing by 16.7% in 2007 and another 19.3% in 2008, to $198.6M. Drilling down a bit, it is apparent that operating expenses are outpacing the increases in revenue. Dempsey is the main component of the Health Center's finances, and if it can be put on solid footing, the rest should follow. Despite the challenges, it may still be possible to straighten things out and keep Dempsey viable into the future. How much time there is for this, and how to accomplish it, are the bigger questions.

Brethren, Pray for Us!
2 Thessalonians 3:1 Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you:
In this passage of Scripture, the Apostle Paul was asking the church at Thessalonica to pray for him and his ministry. Paul realized that it was impossible for his to do what he needed to for God without Christians interceeding on his behalf.
He relayed a similar thought to the church at Corinth when he wrote:
2 Corinthians 1:11 Ye also helping together by prayer for us, that for the gift bestowed upon us by the means of many persons thanks may be given by many on our behalf.
We see this same truth illustrated in the church at Antioch, in Acts 13:
Acts 13:1 Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
2 As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.
3 And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.
In this message, Dr. Brandenburg, explains from the Scripture why and how we should pray for Men of God and their ministries. Brethren, WILL YOU pray for us?

Happy Valentines day! If you are looking to do something fun tonight, consider joining your fellow GT-ers on IRC (how to use IRC) and watching some movies and getting your groupdrink/fuckitfriday on.
Flowers in the Attic, Heathers, and Spaceballs were the most popular movie choices. Based on various time zone issues, it seems like it is best to have a few viewings throughout the day so people from different time zones can join in. Currently thinking 2PM PST/5PM EST/10PM GMT for Spaceballs, 5PM PST/ 8PM EST/2AM GMT for Flowers in the Attic, and around 8PM PST/11PM EST for Heathers. Of course based on people in IRC we can be flexible.
Flowers in the Attic can be seen here (thanks for the link Currently Kittah), and Heathers (which was the most popular vote , and is available on Amazon Prime and Netflix). Spaceballs is on netflix. If you don't have access to Amazon Prime or Netflix a link will be provided later tonight so you can still join in. (you should have adblock enabled for your browser) .
Hope to see (some of) you tonight!

The White House has just released a new National Security Strategy. It is not a long read and it mostly makes good general sense … or it would if almost anyone other than Donald Trump was the US president; but that's just my very personal opinion.
It needs to be read in conjunction with an essay by Walter Russell Mead that was published in the March/April 2017 issue of Foreign Affairs, and that essay presumes some familiarity with Mead's 2001 book 'Special Providence.' In that award wining book Mead argues that American foreign policy has been a success, broadly and generally, because at various times one of four distinct themes emerged when it was needed. "Mead attributes this success to four schools of thought, named after four American statesmen: the Hamiltonian (protection of commerce), Jeffersonian (maintenance of a democratic system), Jacksonian (populist values, military strength), and Wilsonian (moral principle). The title of Mead's book comes from a remark usually attributed to Otto von Bismarck, who is alleged to have said, "God has a special providence for fools, drunks, and the United States of America.""
Now, not for the first time in US history, Mead says that the Jacksonians are in the political/policy driver's seat.
But things are different now. Earlier generations of Jacksonians were aggressive, militaristic, and definitely put America First, but they did not see the rest of the world as being uniformly hostile. The Trump (or Trump supporters') version of Jacksonian populism does … and it does so, in my opinion, with hints of darker themes, too.
What does it say?
But, despite my, personal reservations about President Trump and what drives him, I pay attention to the highly regards strategic analyst Anthony Cordesman, of the Center for Strategic & International Studies, when he says that "President Trump's new National Security Strategy (NSS) deserves careful attention, particularly by America's allies and strategic partners and by those who deal with everything the President says or issues in terms of knee jerk criticism. It is a document that President Trump reviewed and altered in some depth and that represents his views—rather than a bureaucratic compromise. At the same time, it both expands on the classic themes of U.S. strategy—rather than rejects them—and commits the U.S. to playing its traditional role in leading the free world."
Dr. Cordesman says that "America First," in this document, means a commitment to America being active in the world in pursuit of its own vital interests, not retreating into isolationism. He also says that President Trump's strategy is innovative in that it strengthens the two traditional pillars of grand strategy (international affairs and military muscle) with two new ones: domestic issues and the economy. Anthony Cordesman says "The President's commitment to preserving American leadership and international action is particularly clear in the wording that the new National Security strategy uses in explaining the First Pillar, and explaining what it means to " protect the American people, the homeland, and the American way of life."" It is, I agree, a pretty clear and ringing endorsement of America's intention to remain engaged in the world. He goes on to say that "The section on promoting American prosperity picks up on the President's domestic campaign priorities and ties them to national security. It is far more moderate and pragmatic than the campaign language, however, and some of the language that the President has used since." I agree that the language in the document is more pragmatic but I still mistrust President Trump's basic instincts which I am certain are dangerous and stupidly protectionist and, therefore, dangerous to America's friends, neighbours and trading partners, especially to Canada. He goes on, further, saying that "The "peace through strength" pillar makes it clear that the President clearly understands America's key security priorities, and understands them in terms of "competition" rather than "war." It reasserts one of the most fundamental lessons and themes of U.S. national security that has shaped U.S. security policy since the beginning of World War II and throughout the Cold War." Professor Cordesman concludes his Cook's Tour of the four pillars by explaining "The section on the final pillar again makes it clear that "America First" is a call for joint international action with America's allies and strategic partners throughout the world—not a retreat from the world or form of isolationism." I read that in the words, too … but I wonder how that will translate into action when "Mad Dog" Mattis, H.R. McMaster and Rex Tillerson are not there to whisper in this president's ear.
Anthony Cordesman concludes, and I broadly agree, that: "In many ways, this is a reassuring and innovative effort, and it is striking that President Trump has issued one during his first year in office … [and while] … The new strategy also is no vaguer or lacking in specifics than almost all of its predecessors … [and] … In fairness, the President has tasked a whole range of more specific strategy studies, and these may address such specifics in the future. But surely, we could have done more to reassure our strategic partners and explain our intentions, talked about continued U.S. military and national security commitments, and highlighted key areas where deterrence and containment are being strengthened or need to be … [but] … It is not enough to set national security goals. In an unstable and threatening world, at a time we cannot seem to manage our national budgets, and at a time when we face a growing deficit crisis driven by rising entitlement costs, we really need an actual strategy."
An almost instant analysis by Canada's Global News pays most attention to the (somewhat surprising) assertion (admission?) that Russia is interfering in the domestic political affairs of others. The paper explicitly accuses both China and Russia of trying to upset the global status quo which, we must assume President Trump assumes, serves America's interests in Europe and Asia. He (Trump) is right, of course, that is what China and Russia are trying to do because they, too, think that the global status quo favours America. That is, in fact, what all countries do, or should do, in their grand strategies: try to shift the balance of wealth, power and influence in their favour. That's what Canada did from 1947 until 1968 and did again, albeit more sporadicly and far less effectively, after 1984.
What does it mean?
Despite some of the reassuring rhetoric, Mead's Jacksonians, with their emphasis on unilateralism, protectionism and even isolationism, are firmly in control of US policy. They, sensibly, see that domestic and foreign policy concerns are interrelated ~ which is one of the very few things that Pierre Trudeau got right in his otherwise monumentally flawed 1970 White Paper 'A Foreign Policy for Canadians.' But this, the document President Trump released, is a statement of immediate and specific goals and tactics, it's not a grand strategy.
It is, however, a warning for friends, like Canada, and foes alike: America is not withdrawing but it is no longer willing to lead a liberal, secular, Western consensus; "America First" means that America will, in so far as it can, go it alone, expecting, as a matter of right, allied support from e.g. Australia, Britain, Canada, Denmark, Estonia, France and Germany and so on.
This is a very, very conservative document … devoid of values and hopes. It is a naked threat, rather then being an invitation to join America in any sort of global quest for a better world for all. It will not reassure Angela Merkel, Theresa May or Justin Trudeau ~ they should conclude that Western nations must repair their own defences and see to their alliances, even if they would rather spend money elsewhere. My suspicion is that it is almost exactly what Xi Jinping expected … all short term bluster, no long term strategic vision.

Slain Putin Critic Was Victim of Kremlin Persecution, Top British Court Says
Nikolai Glushkov, an exiled Putin critic, was due in court over a $99m compensation claim by Russian airline Aeroflot the day he was strangled in his London home
Nikolai Glushkov, a Russian businessman and exiled critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin who was strangled to death in March, was due in court the day he was killed over a $99m compensation claim by Russian airline Aeroflot, the High Court revealed Friday.
>>'Moscow Rules': Why Russian defectors are fair game in Britain - and not in Israel
A judge ordered Aeroflot to pay five million pounds (about $6.64 million) over its pursuit of the 68-year-old dissident, according to British media, which was continued "to the bitter end." Glushkov, who had once worked for Aeroflot, was described by the court as "courteous, temperate and helpful" while Aeroflot's actions were described as politically motivated persecution by the Kremlin.
Glushkov was found at his home in New Malden, southwest London, with a postmortem concluding he had died of "compression to the neck." British police said there was no sign of forced entry to his house.
Glushkov was an associate of late Russian-Jewish tycoon and fellow Putin critic Boris Berezovsky, one of Russia's most powerful figures in the years after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Berezovsky fled to London after a row with Putin in 2000. He was found dead in March 2013 with a scarf tied around his neck in the bathroom of a luxury mansion west of London.
Police and forensic experts concluded that Berezovsky had committed suicide but a British coroner concluded he could not be sure if the Russian killed himself or was the victim of foul play.
Glushkov was also friends with Marina Litvinenko, whose husband Alexander was poisoned with a rare radioactive isotope in 2006, a killing a British public inquiry said was carried out by two Russians in an operation probably ordered by Putin. Moscow has rejected any suggestion of involvement in the murder.
