Hearing aids
A hearing aid is a small computerized device worn at the ear to assist people who have a diagnosed hearing impairment. Hearing aids are part of an auditory rehabilitation program and require regular fine tuning to ensure they are performing to meet the individual needs of each person.
Hearing aid services
Our hearing aid services include:
- fully independent guidance, choice and selection of hearing aids. We select hearing and listening devices from all suppliers in Australia.
- fitting and fine-tuning of the latest hearing aids
- support while adapting to amplification: our approach to hearing aid fitting allows you to be gently eased into the level of amplification required for optimal speech intelligibility.
- independent evaluation and fine-tuning of your current hearing aids
- as many appointments as needed for 12 months after fitting at no additional cost
- hearing aid cleaning and maintenance
How do I know if I need a hearing aid?
How do I know if I have a hearing loss?
We will advise you if your hearing test results indicate the need for hearing aids.
Regardless of the degree of hearing loss, if you are experiencing significant communication difficulties, there will be a hearing aid suitable for you. If you have tinnitus and a hearing loss, hearing aids will be effective in both the management of your hearing loss and reducing your tinnitus awareness.
Assistive listening devices are available for the telephone, television, doorbells and alarms and can be used either instead of hearing aids or in addition to hearing aids.
Steps to hearing aid success
We receive many enquiries with regard to effective hearing aid fitting from both hearing aid users and the medical profession. It seems that despite the rapidly changing improvements in hearing aid technology, too many hearing aids are used infrequently in the wider community, often with disappointment at the level of benefit obtained. This article has been written for both prospective clients and the medical profession focusing on various aspects of successful digital hearing aid fitting, including a contemporary update on hearing aid technology.
Digital hearing aids and sensorineural hearing loss - information for the medical profession
To ensure our clients obtain a successful hearing aid fitting we consider the following appointments and services essential:
- a detailed diagnostic hearing loss and communication assessment, to evaluate realistic hearing aid expectations and enable accurate hearing aid programming
- extensive follow-up Audiological support
- ongoing maintenance support.
Over the first months, we work closely with you to complete the fine-tuning of your hearing aids, so they are optimally matched to your individual communication and listening requirements.
Fitting hearing aids
Following the purchase of hearing aids, you will be provided at no additional cost with as many appointments as needed for 12 months after hearing aid fitting. This allows us time to carry out our approach to hearing aid fitting where you are gently eased into the level of amplification required for optimal speech intelligibility. Over this period, we work closely with you to complete the fine-tuning of your hearing aids.
Fine tuning hearing aids
As computer software and hearing aid technology have become more sophisticated, the skills required by the clinician to carry out effective fitting and finetuning of hearing aids have increased.
We have extensive training, experience and expertise in fine-tuning contemporary hearing aids to individual communication needs. This enables you to receive the best possible level of speech intelligibility from your hearing aids.
Adapting to hearing aids
Because of the gradual onset of most hearing losses, a person with a hearing loss may not realise their concept of "normal" hearing continues to change as their hearing loss develops. Additionally, our brain subconsciously selects and highlights sounds that are important to us. Unimportant sounds are heard, but not fully perceived, unless we consciously pay attention to them.
When you are being fitted with new hearing aids, your concept of "normal" hearing and the process of subconscious selection will need to be relearnt. If you are being fitted with hearing aids for the first time, you will hear sounds that you may not have heard for a long time. Environmental sounds can seem unnaturally prominent or noticeable for the first few weeks. It takes time for the brain to re-learn all these sounds, which is why we gently ease you into the level of amplification you need. Audiological support over this period is essential.
Research has shown that this adaptation or adjustment period may last a few months. We work closely with you over this period to provide support as you adapt to amplification and to complete the fine-tuning of your hearing aids, so they are optimally matched to your individual communication and listening requirements. Your aim is to have what you hear through the hearing aids become "normal".
Wearing your hearing aids most of the time will ensure that your concept of "normal" hearing will be successfully redefined. As a result, you will become reliant on your hearing aids and will find it harder to communicate without them. This is an inevitable part of a successful hearing aid fitting, and does not mean that hearing aid use has aggravated your level of hearing loss.
Hearing Aid Satisfaction Survey
The EarTrak survey is run independently of our practice and mailed to clients 3 to 6 months after hearing aid fitting. The responses obtained are confidential and remain anonymous, unless specified otherwise. The survey is designed to give us detailed feedback about our clients' satisfaction with their hearing aids and the services provided by our practice. This allows us to act on any comments made that will guide us to improving our services. It also allows us to compare how our practice is performing compared to the group average of the other participating audiology practices, both in Australia and overseas.
Survey results have shown that our clients indicate high levels of satisfaction with their hearing aids and the support services we provide. While we do not carry out this survey with all our clients, we are committed to carrying out this survey regularly.
Ongoing successful use of hearing aids
We recommend an annual review of your hearing levels to check for any changes in hearing. In this way, adjustments can be made to ensure your hearing aids keep matching your hearing loss. You are encouraged, however, to arrange a hearing assessment at any time if you suspect a change in your hearing has occurred.
A build up of wax in your ear canals can damage your hearing aids, as well as affect hearing aid performance. An increase in feedback from your hearing aid(s) may indicate that wax removal is required.
Hearing aid maintenance
We provide guidance to help you care for your hearing aids. Maintenance tools, including a moisture absorbent kit, are provided as part of your hearing aid fitting package.
We provide all our hearing aid clients with:
- free in-house hearing aid checking and cleaning, using pressurised drying and vacuum suction equipment.
- Minor in-house repairs
- hearing aid maintenance accessories at cost price
- bulk discount battery purchase
These services are available without an appointment between 9.00 and 5.00 pm.
Hearing aid repairs are arranged through the manufacturer, with loan BTE hearing aids available for use while your hearing aid is being repaired.

Back-to-school time is busy for families with school-age and little kids in the house. Homework, sports, Girl Scout and Boy Scout meetings – you name it. There's a lot going on this time of year. And let's face it, Sundays are sometimes our only day of rest. But did you know that by taking your child to worship, you're not only fostering spiritual growth, you're also providing your child with an experience that improves their quality of life?
Our church has teamed up with Take Me to Worship takemetoworship.org, part of Religion Matters Erie, an effort to reduce violence through prevention. The movement is grounded in research from the PA Youth Survey that shows children who attend worship one hour per week do better in many areas of life including grades, family communication, reduced violence tendencies, lower risk of suicide and enhanced self worth.
By taking our children to worship, we're providing them with an extended family who loves them, new friends with common values and, most importantly, the experience to learn about and know Jesus Christ. Sunday School kicks off on Sept. 18 at 9:30 a.m. Please consider making Sunday School a part of your routine this year.

Barefoot bride, BOYB reception (chill af) and shirtless groomsmen in the woodland hills of New Hampshire. This wedding had me shook. Enjoy.
Sink the Sun ||Mr. Turk || Trina Turk || Prada || Marc Bouwer || Dawn Levy
Izabel and Shane. Young, wildly in love, and hungry for adventure as much as they are eachother. What else can I say? This is what I live for.
Philly, Pa
Something was so deeply right about shooting these two lovers. Amber and Conner date long distance right now, so when they asked me to photograph them while Conner flew in for ONLY TWO DAYS- I was pretty stoked. We met in this beautiful Manhattan apartment windows EV.ER.Y.WHERE. Then, we stepped out into the snow, next to the east river for more love.
New York, NY
If you don't cry from their uncontrollable cuteness, you will from their wild good looks. I had the greatest time shooting two down ass folks who were passing through town and wanted to capture their love.
New York, NY
Paul and Sergio invited me into their sun-lit west village home to photograph them on their anniversary. they didn't have anything special planned. No gifts or three course meals, just the the two of them, a bit of music and me to capture what they love most. Being together. In their undies.
New York, NY
You'll never meet a couple quite like these two. Their light shines bright with love and giggles.
New York, NY
I've always loved the colors from traditional Indian dress and the bomb ass food, so when these lovers asked me to captures their wedding on the other side of the country, I was super down- no questions asked. See these photos, feel the fantasy.
San Francisco, CA
This beautiful rustic rooftop wedding gave me so much life. both Flo and Mark worked for the old american can factory in Brooklyn so it was fitting spot to invite their closest friends and family to celebrate a day of laughs and loves.
Brooklyn, NY
Who says you have to go out to get dressed up? These two wanted to capture what a typical Saturday afternoon is like for them which pretty much is made up of puzzles, chit chat and dress making. It's the simple things, really.

More is More: A Look at Fall 2016's Most Highly Embellished Footwear
After reviewing Pre-Fall 2016's perfect bag and shoe pairs, it was clear that heavily detailed accessories are having a major moment for Fall 2016. We already took a close look at Christian Louboutin's embellished Fall 2016 accessories, and now we are turning our attention to the latest crop of ornate footwear. The artistry of fall's most embellished shoes lies in the details. Of course, some designs are quirkier than others, and it's worth noting that a few of fall's most embellished shoes include various bug ornamentations. Gucci helped spread this look to a wide audience under the direction of Alessandro Michele, and for fall, other designers are capitalizing on this aesthetic.

Waukesha Speeding Accident Attorneys
Speed limits are in place for a reason. They are calculated based on the type and number of driveways present, the number of intersections along the road, and the road's geometry. Therefore, exceeding the posted speed limit is not only illegal, but also very dangerous. Speeders run the risk of losing control of their vehicles, running lights, hitting slower-moving vehicles, and even colliding with pedestrians.
The Waukesha speeding accident lawyers of Habush Habush & Rottier S.C. ® understand how dangerous an act of breaking the speed limit can be. We can provide you with the strong and compassionate legal support you need if you have been injured in a speeding accident. Contact us at 800-242-2874 to learn more about how we can help.
Dangers of Speeding
Every year, thousands of people are killed in car accidents. Research has shown that in approximately one-third of these incidents, speeding plays a role. Though exceeding the speed limit may not seem like a major offense or a dangerous activity, it clearly is quite risky.
Scientifically speaking, the faster you drive, the less time you have to react to any unexpected hazards that arise ahead of you. Going faster also increases the force of impact, should you be involved in a collision. While speeding may get you to your destination faster, you run a much higher risk of causing a dangerous collision.
No excuse is important enough to justify the dangerous act of speeding. If you have been injured in a speed-related accident because the other driver was in a hurry or racing another vehicle, then you can likely recover damages for your unnecessary suffering. Call the Waukesha speeding accident lawyers of Habush Habush & Rottier S.C. ® at 800-242-2874 to start your fight for justice today.
Contact Us
If you or someone you love has been injured in a car wreck caused by illegal speeding, then you may have the right to collect compensation. The Waukesha speeding accident attorneys of Habush Habush & Rottier S.C. ® can help you recover the damages you deserve. Contact us at 800-242-2874 to speak with an attorney about your legal options.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- North Carolina's injury list keeps growing.
Senior receiver Austin Proehl, senior defensive tackle Tyler Powell and redshirt freshman receiver Rontavius Groves were hurt during Saturday's loss to Duke.
Proehl had his left arm in a sling on the sideline. Powell crumpled to the turf grabbing his right knee before being helped to the sideline. And Groves' right leg gave out as he turned for a pass in his college debut, prompting trainers to immediately put his knee in a brace and cart him away.
None appear on the depth chart for this weekend's trip to Georgia Tech.
Nine of 19 players on UNC's pre-Duke injury report are lost for the season. Asked Monday whether UNC has more season-ending injuries, coach Larry Fedora said: "I don't know yet."

Wolfeboro Great Danes Update:
Great Danes to undergo spay/neuter surgery in preparation for adoption
Click to watch WMUR's news story.
We do NOT have any of these Great Danes at our facility.
When the plan for putting these dogs up for adoption is determined, we will share that information on our website and on our Facebook page–stay tuned.
On June 16, four members of the Pope Memorial SPCA staff (including Tona McCarthy, our Director of Animal Cruelty Investigation who initiated the investigation of this case) were on-site to assist officials from the Wolfeboro Police Department and Animal Rescue Team from The Humane Society of the United States with seizure of 84 Great Danes from unsafe and unsanitary conditions in a home business located in Wolfeboro.
Thank you to everyone who has expressed support! The 84 dogs are now safe at a temporary emergency shelter at an undisclosed location being looked after by skilled and caring people. (Watch video of rescue and care at temporary shelter.)
Unfortunately, these 84 dogs are considered evidence in an on-going criminal investigation so they can NOT legally be put into foster homes or placed up for adoption until the final ruling in the case is reached, which could take many months. PMSPCA will continue to contribute resources to the dogs' on-going care.
However, an additional 9 dogs, from the same business owner, were rescued earlier and surrendered to the care of the Conway Area Human Society. Having been legally surrendered by the owner, this group of nine will be able to go up for adoption as soon as they have their medical issues taken care of. On June 23, one of these dogs, named Ellie, gave birth to 3 puppies! (Watch video of new mom with her puppies.)
We will continue to post updates on the dogs' progress on this page of our website as well as our Facebook page.

Let's use our collective voice to advocate for stronger laws and to raise support for the dogs impacted by this case. Learn more from The Humane Society of the United States-New Hampshire.
ADOPT . . . eventually
These 84 dogs have several months to go before they'll be ready for adoption, but an additional 9 others from the same business were rescued earlier and will be ready to adopt from the Conway Area Humane Society once their medical needs are taken care of.

SAFCSA London Sponsor Ladies team
Sunderland AFC Ladies were formed in 1999 when East Durham Houghall Kestrels and Sunderland Ladies combined to come under the umbrella of 'Sunderland Women'. Although from 2005/6 the football club provided the team with playing kit, those early years the team was run on an entirely voluntary basis having to meet all their other costs, pitch hire, travel and hotel expenses etc. Despite this, the club consistently performed to a very high standard; playing four seasons in the Northern Division and six seasons in the Women's Premier League. Sadly the club's relegation from the Premier League in 2006-7 led to two players (Steph Houghton and Jill Scott) leaving to further their careers, in due course becoming well known as England internationals.
The team returned to the top level of the Premier League in 2009 and in the same season reached the final of the Women's FA Cup, losing to Arsenal. This increasingly high profile achieved by the team progressively encouraged the football club to add further support, initially with training kit and tracksuits then, from 2012, some assistance with travel and accommodation costs. It also provided limited backing for an application for membership of the FA Women's Super League when it was first formed in 2010. Sadly this attempt proved unsuccessful and led to three more future international players (Lucy Bronze, Jordan Nobbs and Demi Stokes) leaving the club.
The team continued to be successful with three consecutive Premier League titles, a factor which undoubtedly served them well when the Women's Super League was extended to a second division and the club attained membership, at the same time being formally integrated into the SAFC structure as Sunderland AFC Ladies Ltd. and being provided with the use of the training facilities at the Academy of Light and the Hetton Centre for home games. There had already been occasional attendance by London Branch members at games played by the Sunderland ladies' team in the South, but in the Ladies championship winning final season in the Premier League the Branch had also taken a more positive and formal approach by commencing sponsorship of the team.
During the first season in the senior competition the Branch provided mascots at the Ladies' games at Barnet, Millwall, Oxford, Reading and Yeovil as well as providing vocal support to the team at those games. The team's promotion in that first WSL season provided further publicity opportunities and the Branch now has a permanent advertising board at the team's home ground which is now Mariners Park, South Shields. It also has occasional adverts in the SAFShe programme and the bibs worn by matchday volunteers recognise the Branch's ongoing sponsorship.
The team is now in its third season at the top WSL level and will have away games against Arsenal, Bristol, Chelsea, Reading and Yeovil at which the support of our members will no doubt be much appreciated. A full list of the team's fixtures can be found at :

The stories here are often shaped as physical journeys. Someone travels to a place for shelter or to rediscover lost experience or opportunity. The difficulties of the voyage, and the nature of the people encountered, contribute to the central character's awareness or problem. Space in these stories is crossed to recover time, and in the process, a sense of tribalism.
Consider the narrator of "What You Pawn I Will Redeem": "One day you have a home and the next you don't, but I'm not going to tell you any particular reasons for being homeless, because it's my secret story, and Indians work hard to keep secrets from hungry white folks."
In this story, a homeless Indian man must raise $1000 in 24 hours to buy back his grandmother's powwow regalia that was stolen from her over 50 years earlier. In the process he rediscovers a part of himself he thought lost, and finds himself alone at the Wharf with three Aleut men singing their strange and beautiful ceremonial songs about his grandmother and their own.
Alexie writes superbly, without bathos, about grief and disappointment. In "Don't Go So Gently," the narrator explains that he and his wife didn't know what grief was until their small child got his face "stuck between his mattress and crib, and suffocated himself blue," then fell into a coma. He explains when you are hurting it feels good to hurt somebody else. But you have to be careful. "If you get addicted to the pain-causing, then you start hurting people who don't need hurting."
Alexie is equally adept at lending his characters the gift of wit and laughter in the face of tragedy. The same bereaved father of "Don't Go So Gently" drives by a store called Toys In Babeland. He stops to get his ill son a rattle or a teddy bear, unsure of what kind of toy to buy for a child in a coma, but what he finds is a sex toy store. Upon returning to the hospital with "Chocolate Thunder," the doctors and nurses and other parents are half-stunned by what they see. The father waves "Chocolate Thunder" over his dying son, performing a healing ceremony, trying to cast spells with it.
He remarks, "And it was a strange and difficult thing. It was sex that made our dying babies, and now here was a huge old piece of buzzing sex I was trying to cast spells with."
These stories are often dark, with much at risk for the reader and, one imagines, the writer. Ten Little Indians takes us beneath the surface of racism, classism and sexism and immerses us in quandaries we all recognize. Consider Corliss, a young college student in "The Search Engine": "She knew racism, tribalism, and nationalism were encoded in human DNA, and we'd all save our own child from a burning building even if it meant a thousand strangers would die, and we'd all kill in defense of our wives, husbands, brothers, sisters, parents, and children. But she also wanted to believe in human goodness and mortal grace."
These stories often remind us that our allotted choices are betrayal or self-betrayal, and they question the relationship between love and loyalty, and how much we can expect of each other. Alexie brings these kinds of intractable questions to his stories and gives us a humane collection with, at its center, a searching emotional generosity.

iOS 9.3.1 – Release and Download imminent?
Apple's iOS 9.3.1 firmware update has appeared in server logs across the web, is a release and download of the update imminent? There are a few serious bugs in the final iOS 9.3 release, despite all of the thorough beta testing. Thus it is likely that Apple will continue churning out fixes. For instance, older iPads such as the iPad 2 suffered from not being able to authenticate with iCloud, while some users complain about dysfunctional links in the Safari browser. The iOS 9.3 update has been reissued for some of the older devices and is now only downloadable in its second version. Given that some of the issues still aren't fixed in that version of the update, it is very possible that iOS 9.3.1 is right around the corner.
iOS 9.3.1 already spotted in web server statistics
Browsers communicated their operating system version to services such as Google Analytics, which in turn allows webmasters and administrators to analyze their audience and adapt their sites to best support a proper browsing experience which is tailored to the individual browser and OS. The still unreleased iOS 9.3.1 has appeared in logs across the web, which means that Apple is already testing it out in the field. Most of the hits that are being registered with iOS 9.3.1 devices come from San Francisco and the valley. There is no official statement as to when the next firmware patch will be issued, but it might come out as early as this week.
As soon as Apple releases the iOS 9.3.1 firmware update and enables the download, we'll let you know in our blog.
Update: 31st of March – the update is now available and can be downloaded by going to Settings > General > Software Updates.

Anubis... God of admission to the afterlife, overseer of mummification, and weigher of the heart, now you too can summon the powers of this mighty ancient Egyptian Lord of the Underworld anytime you wish right from the comfort of your home, office, den, or treasure room (no pyramid or cursed tomb required) when you stand before this cool new Lifesize Egyptian Anubis Statue.
Standing over eight feet tall, this massive statue of Anubis is sure to drop a few jaws of those who behold its truly imposing presence. It's hand-cast from real crushed stone that is bonded with high quality designer resin, hand-painted in faux ebony, gold, and silver, stands atop a grand pedestal, and holds a scepter in one hand and the Ankh (the symbol of life) in the other. Hmm, a bipedal half man / half jackal documented in the hieroglyphical historical record... this just might be the first werewolf.

Khloe Kardashian Desperately Wants To Be In Love & Have A Family
Khloe is at her wit's end! The 'KUWTK' star is afraid that time is running out for her in the love department and she's desperate to start a family with a loving husband, a source tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY.
Khloe Kardashian has it all — money, fame, beauty — the list goes on. But the reality star simply won't be satisfied until she can share all her joy and success with a family of her own, a source tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY.
Khloe Kardashian On Being In Love: She Desperately Wants To Have A Family
Khloe, 30, has two strikes against her when it comes to men. She's still technically married to estranged husband Lamar Odom, 34, although the couple aren't living under the same roof.
Plus, she just got out of a rebound relationship with rapper French Montana, 29. And to rub even more salt in her wound, just about everyone in her family is settled and happy with their own families. But poor Khloe, we're told, is lonely and looking for love.
"She wants to be in love again," a source tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. "She wants a family. She doesn't want to be pigeonholed as the best aunt in the world."
Is Khloe Kardashian Tired Of Being An Aunt?
We're told that Khloe absolutely adores her nieces and nephew but at the end of the day, she'd like a special bond with a child of her own.
"She loves her nieces and nephew but there's nothing like being a mother," the source explains. "She wants that. And it's like, here she goes again being the dutiful and proud aunt," the source describes, referencing the third baby that Khloe's pregnant sister Kourtney Kardashian has on the way.
"She's happy for Kourt and Kim [Kardashian] but she's sad inside because everyone around her is thriving and living and she's stuck. Her life sucks right about now."
Poor Khloe! HollywoodLifers, are YOU rooting for Khloe to find love and start a family of her own? Let us know!

"It is imperative that each cadet inculcates these values as their own and live every day of his/her life to the enclosed standards of excellence."
Page VII, NUCC Cadet Handbook
A little over a month ago at Sergeant's Training Time (STT), my platoon sergeant had us stand on the wall for a long time. Normally, that would've been incredibly uncomfortable and boring. Standing on the wall means we have to do something and we're waiting to do it. Tonight was a special example to that. He opened with asking us who could confidently recite the Cadet's Creed. One of my rook brothers came off the wall and answered it, no differently than what we did during morning formation. Then, we were all asked what it meant. It took a little bit before someone could answer, and even then, nobody seemed as confident as they did when asked to recite it.
He told us near the end that we need to put meaning into the seemingly mundane Rook knowledge that we have to learn. Norwich University is an institution built on the success of many others before us; people who left us with ideals and morals. The guiding values are there to teach us how to hold ourselves to the high standards that any human being would be blessed to attain. The vision statement and mission statement tell us what this institution wants to do and wants us to become in the end. The Medal of Honor recipients are learned as an example of good leadership, and to give an inspiration for others to follow. I wish I could say that everyone believes this in the Corps, but it's only me. The purpose behind all of it is based on interpretation.
I wish I could say that everyone believes this in the Corps, but it's only me. The purpose behind all of it is based on interpretation. We always here, "You get out of it what you put into it," and it's true. This university is unique in the way it upholds itself due to its history as a military school, and that aspect brings with it the expectations set forth by the military. Normal people aren't held to the physical, academic, and moral standards that are instilled at Norwich University, and I can say with confidence that I chose the right school because of it.
Marching On,

If you are visiting the capital of New Mexico, Santa Fe, you might be wondering what there is to do in the city. To be certain, there is a lot of history in the area and being the capital, there are also some governmental aspects that you may want to explore. Aside from that, there are also many other enjoyable things to do that will help to pass the day. These are available, regardless of whether you live in the area or not.
If you're interested in learning something about the history of Santa Fe, you may want to check out the Palace of the Governors. This is a museum that has various informational exhibits that can tell you about the development of the city from its roots. It certainly can help to enhance your appreciation of what the area has to offer.
The Georgia O'Keeffe Museum is another consideration if you would like to spend the day broadening your horizons. It is a relatively small museum but it has a permanent collection that includes some 3000 different works. The exhibits rotate and they include the works of Georgia O'Keeffe. You will be amazed at what you can see among the sculptures, sketches and paintings that are shown.
Following the theme of museums, the International Folk Art Museum is also well worth viewing. This truly helps to broaden your horizons, because it features some artifacts and arts from more than 100 countries worldwide. It is also a fairly large location, with 80,000 square feet dedicated to global folk art.
Native American culture is quite strong in New Mexico, and there is much to learn on the subject if you know where to look. You will appreciate the Wheelwright Museum of the American Indian, with the rotating exhibits of art from Native Americans. There are also some media exhibits, arts and crafts and many other things to explore. This museum has been around for 80 years, and it is well worth a visit.
These are a few of the many options to have at your disposal when you are spending the day in Santa Fe New Mexico. Of course, there are many other options available as well, including great places to eat, plenty of outdoor activities and lots of family-friendly fun for everyone. Make sure you visit this year.

During the tour the Steamship Company's CEO, Rob Goldsmith and Chairman, Andrew May explained how Department For Transport money is being used to dredge Penzance Harbour and carry out extensive improvements to the harbour in St Mary's. Prospective MP, Derek Thomas, has maintained regular contact with the Department of Transport in order to ensure West Cornwall's transport infrastructure receives the investment it needs. Derek Thomas said "In two years as Transport Secretary, Patrick has visited Cornwall on four occassions. I know that he takes the need to invest in our transport network seriously and is prepared to help us exploit every opportunity to access funds and support. Good transport links will make it easier for people to relocate their business to West Cornwall and provide skilled jobs for our workforce" Photo left to right: Captain David Redgrave, Rob Goldsmith, Derek Thomas, Patrick McLoughlin MP, Andrew May

Any advice on the following problem would be appreciated:
I have a Pug 306 1.4XL (1994 - M reg)
It currently has a strange stutter/power problem when the engine is cold. Basically when I set off to work in the morning for the first 5 - 10 mins is stutters every time you change gear and then put your foot down. It mostly happens under load when you floor it and if you drive conservatively will probably not occur. It appears to be flooding the engine and then will suddenly pick up after about 5 seconds and you will shoot off. It can still happen whe nthe engine is warm but is very rare and not as bad if it does.
It his been in the garage about 10 times for this problem and no garage find the problem.
I have had a temp sensor replaced.
New HT leads.
a few other bits I forget.
It had an Engine managment unit and is single point injection.
This apparently is common on Pug 306's and Citroens as I know to other people with these cars that have the same thing and they also can't get it sorted.
If any more info would help just ask.
Thanks for any pointers.

Today I had the privilege of organizing an event for the Sports, Entertainment, and Media Law Society at the LSU Paul M. Hebert Law Center titled, "Free Speech in the Internet Age: True threats, the right to be forgotten, and net neutrality." We were honored to have three experts speak on these three important free speech topics that continue to evolve as the Internet progresses.
LSU law professor Michael Coenen spoke about the true threat doctrine, focusing on the upcoming case before the United States Supreme Court of Elonis v. United States. Oral arguments are set for Dec. 1. Then, Eric Robinson, the co-director of press law and democracy project at the LSU Manship School of Mass Communication, explained the right to be forgotten in the EU. He published his Powerpoint presentation from today's event on his blog. Finally, ACLU representative Stephen Dixon discussed net neutrality and how it has recently become a partisan issue.
These three topics—true threats online, the right to be forgotten, and net neutrality—will be crucial in shaping how speech freedoms persevere in the Internet Age.

In Tanzania, over 200 witchdoctors and soothsayers have been arrested for murdering albinos in order to sell their body parts.
Witchdoctors were banned in January, but last week 32 of them were arrested. Last week a one-year-old albino boy was murdered.
The UN claims almost 80 albinos in Tanzania have been murdered in the past 15 years, likely for their body parts; the Red Cross has stated that sellers of complete albino body parts to witchdoctors can fetch up to $75,000.
Some witchdoctors apparently believe that body parts from albinos can bring riches as well as good luck. One in every 1,400 Tanzanians is an albino; in the West, that figure is one in 20,000.
Police spokesperson Advera Bulimba told the AFP news agency that of the 225 unlicensed healers and soothsayers who were arrested, "Some of those arrested were found in possession of items like lizard skin, warthog teeth, ostrich eggs, monkey tails, bird claws, mule tails and lion skin."
There has been a vigilante campaign against witchdoctors by those furious with the attacks on albinos; the Center for Advocacy in Rural Development and the Dar es Salaam-based Legal and Human Rights Center said vigilantes lynched, stoned, or hacked to death over 1,000 women suspected of being witchdoctors last year.

AMA Issues Ethics Code for RFID Chip Implants
Filed Under News | Leave a Comment
The American Medical Association recommends that physicians disclose uncertainties about the risks of implants, add extra layers of security to protect patient privacy and support ongoing research regarding the implantation of RFID devices in human beings.
By Beth Bacheldor
Copyright RFID Journal LLC 2008, Used With Permission
July 17, 2007—The American Medical Association (AMA) has officially established a code of ethics designed to protect patients receiving RFID implants. The recommendations focus on safeguarding a patient's privacy and health, and are the result of an evaluation by the AMA's Council on Ethical and Judicial Affairs (CEJA) regarding the medical and ethical implications of RFID chips in humans, as well as a follow-up report recently released. The latter discusses the possible advantages and specific privacy and ethical issues of using RFID-enabled implantations for clinical purposes.
Entitled "Radio Frequency ID Devices in Humans," the report is presented by Robert M. Sade, M.D., who chairs the CEJA. It acknowledges that RFID's use in health care "represents another promising development in information technology, but also raises important ethical, legal and social issues." The report adds, "Specifically, the use of RFID labeling in humans for medical purposes may improve patient safety, but also may pose some physical risks, compromise patient privacy, or present other social hazards."
The AMA's report identifies three specific recommendations: The informed-consent process must include disclosure of medical uncertainties associated with these devices; physicians should strive to protect patients' privacy by storing confidential information only on RFID devices utilizing informational security similar to that required for medical records; and physicians should support research into the safety and efficacy of RFID devices implanted in human beings, and examine the role of doctors regarding the nonmedical uses of the technology.
The recommendations now serve as ethical guidelines for physicians and caregivers, explains Steven Stack, M.D., a member of the AMA's board of trustees, and are officially part of the AMA's medical ethics code. While not law, the AMA's code of ethics has long served as a standard of conduct defining the essentials of honorable physician behavior.
"The AMA is the largest professional organization representing the interest of physicians and patients in the U.S.," Stack says, "and the AMA's code of ethics is the most widely accepted guidance for physicians' professional, ethical practices." In fact, he adds, courts and governments often use the AMA's ethics codes as guidelines.
Central to the AMA's recommendations is that RFID implantable devices still need to be researched. The report indicates such implants may present physical risks to patients, because the devices can migrate under the skin and become difficult to extract. It goes on to say the risks may be minimized "by constructing RFID tags from materials that permit surrounding tissue to encase the device." Furthermore, the document cautions that RFID tags may electromagnetically interfere with electrosurgical devices (medical tools that use electrical currents for cauterization during surgery) and defibrillators, and that more research needs to be done regarding whether RFID tags might also affect the efficacy of pharmaceuticals.
From a privacy perspective, the AMA notes, RFID device security has not been fully established, so physicians "cannot assure patients that the personal information contained on RFID tags will be appropriately protected." Beyond just storing unique ID numbers on the tags, the association suggests the medical community also consider computer encryption and digital signatures to protect the data.
Moreover, the report recommends that RFID tags not be implanted or removed without the prior consent of patients, as per the AMA's policies regarding informed consent. More specifically, patients—or those acting as the legal guardians of patients—should be informed of the potential risks and benefits associated with RFID tags, as well as who will be granted access to the data contained on those tags, and the purposes for which this information will be used.
Shortly after the AMA released its report, VeriChip Corp., a maker of implantable RFID tags, applauded the association'srecommendations, saying they could help improve the acceptance of RFID implantable devices in the health-care industry. VeriChip manufactures the VeriMed system, which features a glass-encased passive RFID tag that can be injected into a patient's arm.
A hospital or medical staffer carrying a handheld interrogator can read a VeriChip's unique 16-digit identifying number, then link that patient's identity to such medical-record details as allergies, medications taken and blood type. The VeriMed system is the only human-implantable radio frequency transponder system cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the purpose of patient identification and health information.
VeriChip could not be reached by press time to comment on some of the AMA's concerns regarding RF interference, privacy and security. In the past, however, the company has claimed that when its glass-encased tag is inserted just under the skin, a small amount of scar tissue forms around it, preventing the chip from moving or migrating. In addition, VeriChip has stated that any patient data associated with the 16-digit number is stored in a secure online database, accessible only by authorized health-care workers.
Stewart Brand
Filed Under Environment Matters | Leave a Comment
Stewart Brand is a cofounder of Global Business Network and the Long Now Foundation. Best known for founding, editing, and publishing the Whole Earth Catalog (1968-1985; National Book Award, 1972), he also has a long-standing involvement in computers, education, and the media arts.
From 1987 to 1989 Stewart ran a series of private conferences on "Learning in Complex Systems," sponsored by strategic planners at Royal Dutch/Shell, AT&T, and Volvo. In 1988 he joined the Board of Trustees of the Santa Fe Institute, an organization dedicated to multi-disciplinary research in the sciences of complexity. In 1987, Stewart wrote The Media Lab: Inventing the Future at MIT (Viking). It became a QPB Selection, won the Eliot Montroll Award, and has been translated into Japanese, German, Italian, and Spanish. From 1974 to 1985, Stewart founded, edited, and published CoEvolution Quarterly. He also served as editor-in-chief of the Whole Earth Software Catalog (Doubleday) from 1983-1985. During this time, Brand organized the first "Hackers' Conference," which was televised nationally and has since become an annual event. He also founded The WELL (Whole Earth 'Lectronic Link) a computer teleconference based in the San Francisco Bay Area. It now has 10,000 active users, and is considered a bellwether of the medium.
After receiving his degree in biology from Stanford in 1960 and spending two years as a US Infantry officer, Stewart became a photojournalist and multimedia artist, performing at colleges and museums. In 1968, he was a consultant to Douglas Engelbart's pioneering Augmented Human Intellect program at SRI, which devised now-familiar computer interface tools. In 1972, for Rolling Stone, he wrote the first article about the computer lifestyle, entitled "Fanatic Life and Symbolic Death Among the Computer Bums," chronicling the fringes of computer science at Xerox PARC, the Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, and MIT. That article became part of his book, Two Cybernetic Frontiers (Random House, 1974), which also introduced anthropologist/ philosopher Gregory Bateson to a wide audience. In 1974 he organized a "New Games Tournament," which generated three books and became a genre in experiential education.
In 1994, eight years of research by Stewart into how buildings change over time (a form of organizational learning) came together in a richly illustrated book, How Buildings Learn: What Happens After They're Built. Referred to as "a classic and possibly a work of genius," the book has been used as a text by computer systems designers as well as building preservers, architects, and many lay building users.
Since co-founding The Long Now Foundation with Danny Hillis in 1996, Stewart has been involved with its growing number of projects. The 10,000-year Clock project aims to build a monumental timepiece inside a mountain in eastern Nevada; the first working prototype went on permanent display at the Science Museum in London. The Rosetta Project set about micro-etching 1,000 languages on a 3-inch nickel disk and wound up building the world's largest website of living languages. Long Bets is another web project, this one to make a permanent repository and forum for "accountable predictions," where each Prediction accumulates votes and discussion and can become a bet with real money at stake. The All Species Inventory was spun off as its own foundation, with the aim of discovering and cataloging every life form on earth within the current human generation. Another project, called Long Server, is attempting to help solve the very difficult problems in long-term preservation of digital materials. Stewart's book, The Clock of the Long Now: Time and Responsibility, investigates the advantages of taking the very long term seriously, including some new ways to think about the future.
