(PRWEB UK) 3 January 2012

As actress, Lynne Hazeldens fight to get specialised treatment for her breast cancer becomes more urgent, so does her desire to raise peoples awareness in the UK of the pioneering cancer treatments currently available abroad. On her “Yes to Life/Just Giving.com” website, http://www.JustGiving.com she says she has got a much better chance of making it happen.

When Lynne Hazelden, discovered she had breast cancer in 2010, aged 51, she knew she was in for a very tough time. Not only because the treatments for cancer in the UK are known to be aggressive but because her health was already seriously compromised due to a rare mercury and amalgam allergy, diagnosed at Guys Hospital in 1995. An allergic reaction to fillings had left her health and energy seriously impaired and her body highly sensitive to conventional drugs.

Lynne, who has made appearances in Star Wars, The Bill and Judge John Deed as well as working voluntarily with young people on The Hunger Project and for peace organisations, bravely decided to have a mastectomy. The aggressive effects that chemotherapy and other therapies can have, Lynne felt could be too much for her already compromised health.

While the surgery was successful, Lynne recently discovered another lump in her reconstructed breast and learned the cancer had affected her lymph nodes too. The second lump and some lymph nodes have now been removed but she doesnt intend to take it easy until shes not only raised the funds she needs for own treatment but awareness in the UK of the much kinder treatments for cancer that are proving successful in other countries.

Lynne has discovered new and successful pioneering treatment in Israel at the International Centre for Cell Therapy and Cancer Immunotherapy. The centre specialises in treatments for cancer which include a broad range of personalised therapies. Lynne is hoping to have treatment herself there but to also bring knowledge of the kinder treatments on offer to patients in the UK.

The treatment will cost over £100,000 and Lynne is working hard, despite ill health to raise it. She has set up a blog and is currently creating a cancer cure awareness website. The site also aims to raise awareness of the nutritional programmes and complementary medicines that are available to people in the UK right now which can greatly lessen the side effects of the aggressive treatments people are having here.

To help Lynne raise the funds she needs, the pioneering charity Yes to Life, which gives direct support to cancer patients, have set up a Just Giving.com page for her so she can receive donations and promote her campaign. Lynne says, With the help of Yes to Life and the Just Giving page, I can raise the funds I need to treat my breast cancer and use my journey to raise awareness of the ground-breaking treatments available in other countries. These treatments are proving very successful and I want to help make them available for people in the UK as soon as possible. I am hoping to inspire everyone to join me and any unused funds raised will remain with Yes to Life to help other people with cancer.

Lynnes Just Giving.com page allows people to donate whatever they can, not just money and shes had some surprisingly pleasant contributions so far. The donations are rising daily and although theres still a long way to go I have a lot of hope says Lynne. People are donating all sorts of things. Ive been given a new iPhone to help me promote the campaign and Ive even had signed cards of my character, Kari Neth in Star Wars donated to help raise money too.

When enough funds have been raised, Lynne will finally be able to send the small piece of her tumour, currently being stored in her best friends freezer, to the centre in Israel, where it will be needed to create a personally tailored treatment for her. Then Lynnes treatment will begin and her chances of survival will be significantly increased.

(PRWEB) December 19, 2011

Vobile a leading provider of content identification and management services, today announced that Filesonic, a leader in cloud storage solutions, will be deploying Vobile vCloud9 to check all files when they are uploaded to its site including compressed files for copyright infringement before users are able to share them publicly.

Vobile’s vCloud9 is the first such digital protection technology to enable sites to examine content, match it to Vobile’s extensive database of digital content ‘fingerprints’ and pull the questionable content before publication. This represents a huge technological step in preventing pirated content from going viral on the web.

“Filesonic believes the timing is right to take an even more proactive approach against copyright infringement, as the amount of content on the Internet continues to grow, and as its products become victim to abuse by copyright infringers. Given the volume of data on our servers, we went looking for an effective method of checking every media or compressed file uploaded and chose Vobile’s vCloud9 as the most effective solution to meet that criteria. Filesonic’s implementation of vCloud9 is one of many steps our company has undertaken to deal with copyright infringement, and we look forward to having vCloud9 as part of our arsenal,” said Sara Parr, Communications Manager at Filesonic.

“Video fingerprinting technology such as Vobile’s is an established, tested and widely adopted way for sites that allow user uploads to prevent the unauthorized distribution of copyrighted content. In this particular case, we look forward to seeing Filesonic implement Vobile’s vCloud9 effectively and to more sites and services using effective filtering tools,” said Ronald Wheeler, Senior Vice President, Content Protection, Fox Entertainment Group, Inc.

Vobile pioneered VDNA Digital Fingerprinting technology to better filter and protect copyrighted content, and in September announced the release of its next generation technology, vCloud9, to specifically address compressed files hidden in cloud storage sites — files previously immune to identification. Using the storage platform, some users were able to upload unauthorized content without consent, such as copyrighted movies or TV shows. These were saved as compressed files to allow easier file uploading and downloading; however, file compression “hides” the true content, making it difficult to identify.

Because vCloud9 can specifically identify content contained within compressed files, vCould9 helps cloud storage sites comply with international copyright law and provides content owners with a tool to manage the distribution and monetization of their content over the Web.

“We are pleased that Filesonic has chosen Vobile to become a partner in the fight against digital piracy,” said Yangbin Wang, CEO, Vobile. “The uploading of copyrighted content has been a challenge for content owners and sites themselves — particularly with the growing use of compressed files. With vCloud9 they now have the tool to comply with copyright law.”
