Correction and Apology
In the last edition of HORIZON, we mistakenly published an article that was incorrectly attributed to Julie Millard. The article had not been approved for publication and was clearly marked as such within our editorial files. Through an error in our publishing process, it was published when it should not have been.We have since spoken personally with Julie to apologise and to explain how the error occurred. Julie was gracious in her acceptance of both. The article has now been withdrawn from the publication and removed from our archives. We would also like to place on record our sincere apology to Julie for the mistake and any concern it may have caused.
