Had lunch in late July. Quality of food poor and way overpriced, tuna salad straight from can. Service ok, both clearly the place is out fashion and owners are just milking the last out
A group of 8 of us were just walking by and chose it for the atmosphere. We were all happy with our food. I'm a vegetarian and had a good pizza. The four cheese pizza was amazing. The service was good, keep in mind that it is only one chef and a tiny space to cook. The beer selection was... More
What if you were vegetarian, didn't like pizza and were starving? Well you would certainly not go to this restaurant! The menu doesn't offer a lot of choices and if you pick the salads, be sure not to be hungry or to prepare your wallet to spend huge amounts of money, for very little food. The owner is nice but... More
We came upon this place by accident. It had a small menu but the food was excellent. Service was also good.
Our party of 3 called late on a Saturday night, and they were able to squeeze us in at a low coffee table in the back - not ideal for dinner, but we took what we could get. We're 23 and could handle the back strain, and the atmosphere was very cozy. The menu was great, and our waiter, at... More
We only had a drink but the atmosphere was good and the bit next door does cheap $3 pint from 5-7pm The windows were open and the bar man played The Specials - because "he like them a lot" over and over - luckily we like them to!
Against the Grain is the small bar attached to the Grape and Grain restaurant next door. It's a small, quirky bar with a lot of character and a fantastic ever-changing beer selection. I popped in on a Monday afternoon and was the only one there, but got chatting with the friendly bar staff who picked out and let me sample... More
I love this adorable little wine bar! I meet friends here at least once a month and send people here when they are in from out of town (or friends who live in NYC but have not gone yet). The bartenders are always helpful and very friendly. The cheese selection is always changing and the is interesting. The wine list... More
Good food, good (but limited) choice of wines, casual and welcoming atmosphere. Four of us shared five of the delicious "small plates" and didn't feel the need to go back for more. Would definitely go here whenever I am in the neighborhood.
We happened by this place and had a great time! Nice couch in the back. Three of is split arugula, olives, cevice and two other apps plus a bottle of wine. The menu said cash and amex only but then it turned out that was the bar next door. All in all we had a great time, but everything was... More

Fatah scoops 65 councils in West Bank local elections

Fatah scoops 65 councils in West Bank local elections
By Amos Harel, Haaretz Correspondent, Haaretz Service and Agencies
Results registered Friday for municipal elections held in Palestinian towns
and villages in the West Bank the previous day indicate that the ruling Fatah
party won 54 percent of the vote, while the Hamas militant group won 26
Fatah won control of 65 of the 104 municipal councils up for grabs compared
with 22 for Hamas and 17 for other factions, said Firas Yaghi, executive
director of the Higher Commission for Local Elections. Official figures are
due on Saturday.
Fatah's showing was better than expected, as the party had been losing ground
to Hamas in other recent votes. Analysts said many Palestinian voters are
returning to Fatah following Israel's recent pullout from the Gaza Strip.
Hamas said the preliminary figures did not reflect its grassroots popularity,
noting that its candidates did not run in some districts for fear of arrest by
Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah movement will now be in
control of 61 councils out of the 104, with Hamas running 28.
Other parties and independents won in 15 councils, said Jamal Shubeikeh, head
of the PA local elections commission. Shubeikeh put the voter turnout at 81
Other candidates included the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine,
Islamic Jihad, and independent lists.
The local polls have been seen as a test of the strength for the radical Hamas
in advance of the Janurary 25 elections for the Palestinian Legislative
"Particularly after Israel's withdrawal from Gaza and the run-up to
legislative elections, the municipal results will have important political
implications as they will form the basis of how the factions will perform,"
said Shubeikeh.
According to figures obtained by Haaretz, races in larger municipalities such
as Bituniya, near Ramallah, and Al-Hadr, near Bethlehem, were tight, with a
slight advantage for Fatah. Hamas edged out its competitors in more rural
areas. This advantage was obvious in the village of Tzurif, near Hebron,
Shukba, near Ramallah, and Issira Shamaliya, near Nablus.
Fatah won the elections by default in 22 municipalities in which no other
parties ran. Hamas decided to run in only 56 relatively large municipalities.
The voting has been deferred indefinitely in the Gaza Strip, where
Palestinians also seek statehood, despite Israel's withdrawal earlier this
month. Elections officials blamed a lack of time to prepare.
Unlike in the first phase of the municipal election in May, when candidates
ran individually, this time more than 144,000 voters in the West Bank will
choose among faction lists.
Ahead of the vote, senior military intelligence sources told Haaretz that
Hamas may be weakened in the vote by its strategy of repeated attacks on

Golden Age (2007–2011) is CLOSED FOREVER. This site now functions as an archive. Thank you for your patronage.
Von Oben
Samuel Nyholm
Von Oben consists of a series of drawings which, in their form, reference a tradition of semi-pornographic cartoons one could find in Scandinavia in the 70s and 80s, in magazines of a kind considered highly inappropriate today; in terms of sexism, racism and a ruthless prejudice against exposed social groups. Today this art form remains not much more than a marginalized rest of low-culture, while the subjects it deals with still flourish, repressed and hardened in our sub-conscious.
Von Oben (from above) is an idiomatic expression in German which means to have a superior attitude to others. In the book, those offenders are instantly and literally punished by heavy objects falling on them from the sky.

During the 17th and 18th century knitwear dominated infrastructure in Scotland. Kicking off with accessories from socks and stockings, right through to underwear and jumpers. During this time Fair Isle techniques were honed and developed, leading the way to the cable stitching used on Aran sweaters.
It's in the early 20th century that we see cable-knit becoming a fashion symbol rather than practical workwear for fishermen. The post WWII boom allowed knitwear to become flavoursome with haute couturiers and knitting crazes took off around the globe.
There is not an autumn-winter that passes you do not see an adaptation of a cable knit go down a runway or hit the high street. Sure as the seasons change and snow follows sun, so too do these jumpers make an annual appearance. For that reason it's a no brain to invest in one that will see you though not just one winter but several decades worth.
Due to the dense, soft nature of goat hair the marriage between cashmere and a chunky knit means warmth is at a maximum. The better the cashmere quality the warmer you will be. The higher the ply, the softer it will feel. For me, grey makes sense. It's a natural tone, easy to keep at that shade should anything go awry in the cleaning process plus it goes with every colour, print and texture you can throw at it.

text: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/northern_ireland/4440668.stm [align=justify]Just wondered about people's thought's on this. Having a been brought up with a Protestant (and I do still like protestation!!) right foot which I like to cross over my Roman left foot, I have often wondered what I might have done had I been born in Ulster. I think for me in my consideration of people of a republican nature my line of enquiry would have been thus, 'Is your loyalty to Dublin and Ireland or Rome?'[/align] Any thoughts??? [align=justify](P.S. As a subnote to any Loyalists it may be considered that what is commonly known as the cross of St. George (temple cross to those who know better) is actually more Roman than the saltire of St. Patrick, and in fact upon the Union flag it is this very cross which divides the saltires of Ireland and Scotland, which may lead Irishmen to say 'Quis Separabit?)[/align]

I can't decide if peanut butter and pumpkin go together...I'm intrigued!

I thought the same thing Becca. But when I tried it I liked it, especially with a little butter on the slice. The peanut butter added moisture ( and protein) and is not an overpowering flavor.

Let me start by stating that the very term "income inequality" is a bogus term. When, since the dawn of capitalism, was income ever designed to be "equal"?
If a secretary at a business makes $45,000 a year, but the CEO pulls in $1,750,000 during the same period, the left summons up their bogeyman of "income inequality" to exact punishment.
For what exactly?
The left puts forth only one solution to this made up crime: increased taxation. What they do not want the public at large to know is that you cannot increase the income of the citizenry through the imposition of the wealthy. Even if this could be attempted after confiscating income through force and then dispersing direct payments of cash to the citizenry, it would be a temporary measure at best.
Let's look at it. Say the progressives' gets their wishes to come true and they pass a top tax rate of say, 90% to the 1% of earners. How does this transition a working-class laborer with a family of four making $30,000 a year into a middle-class income bracket? It won't. It can't.
Increased taxation on the wealthy will never increase the wealth of the working class. The government cannot create an increased middle class by edict.
If you were to ask the average collegiate Bernie Sanders fan how increased taxation of the wealthy will cure "income inequality," the chances are that they will state that the money garnered from such can be used to fund programs to lift up the income of the working class.
Really? How? Free college? OK, after receiving your free college degree, then what? You become magically middle-class? Silly rabbits! Employment for recent college graduates is plummeting. So let's go ahead and just create millions more, right?
RELATED: The Ugly Consequences of Bernie Sanders' 'Free College' Plan
Another falsehood that big corporations and their CEOs are to blame for "income inequality" is another odious charge. Small businesses create most jobs. Take a look at Bernie Sanders website. Look around for how he will help small businesses through decreased regulation and taxation. Not a mention.
His (and Hillary's) solution is what the progressive statist always falls back upon — more government. Sanders' solution is to "provide" 13 million jobs via his Rebuild America Act. Don't want a job in construction? Too bad. When the government is the job "creator", you'll take what they offer or go to the bread line.
I wonder what the soon-to-be graduate with a degree in multiculturalism thinks about those cool jobs working on a decaying bridge proposed by Bernie. Something tells me that a pajama boy with a recently acquired BA in "LGBT rights" will regard the offer itself as a microaggression. Too bad for him that there aren't any safe spaces on a decaying bridge.
Without a plan to help small business grow and thrive, no program offered by any politician, right or left, will contribute to increasing the middle-class and raise wages overall.
A thriving small business segment of the economy is the only way to "raise all boats".

For anyone with a fleeting memory of past disappointments in British industrial policy - the EE-AEI merger to create GEC as a national champion in the electrical industry; the TSR2, Blue Streak and Concorde projects that were either cancelled or ran into large losses; the bail-out of Chrysler's plant at Linwood and many others that merely postponed the inevitable - these are worrying phrases indeed.
Mr Heseltine is one of the world's natural activists. He cannot sit still. He is a successful businessman with a sizeable share in the private Haymarket publishing group that owns titles such as Management Today and Campaign, and he evidently believes that government can and should behave rather like business, promulgating solutions to identifiable problems.
Moreover, his views have changed not one jot since the book that he wrote during his post-Westland wilderness years, and which was a rather more interventionist tract than anything the Labour front bench would dare to propose. 'Governments,' Mr Heseltine told the committee on Thursday, 'intervene all the time; the only question is what form it takes.'
Quite so. Markets fail. There is no such thing as a perfectly free market untrammelled by government intervention, because markets need property rights, anti-monopoly rules and contract law to work. But Mr Heseltine means rather more than minimalist government action to set the framework for markets.
He may even mean rather more than intervention to improve the climate within which businesses work - the education and training of the labour force, the ease of access to risk capital, and the general encouragement of research and development.
The phrase 'backing winners' is unhappily reminiscent of the old slogan that the Government ought to pick winners. In other words, the Government's role should not merely be to facilitate businesses' adaptability to changes in the market place, but it should actually anticipate and replace market decisions about products and processes.
The Government, in short, knows best. This is where the real danger lies, as the raft of economic literature about government failures makes abundantly clear.
The first potential source of government failure lies in the conflict of interest between the public good in which all governments claim to act, and the private objectives that all politicians necessarily pursue. It is not always in the public interest to secure the re-election of an incumbent government, yet incumbent governments invariably use their power and patronage to that end.
The Labour government of 1964-70 authorised the Humber Bridge in the hope of holding on to a nearby constituency in a by-election. The US Congress elected to put two of the 12 federal reserve banks within hailing distance of each other in Kansas City and St Louis, simply because the membership of the house banking committee was skewed towards the Mid-West.
The latest scandal over British aid for over-investment in a Malaysian hydro-electric dam, largely for the benefit of UK contractors, makes the same point.
Even if we were able to devise a political system in which marginal constituencies counted for no more than safe ones, where there was no association between politically decided honours and corporate contributions to the Conservative party, and where politicians could rise above any plausible accusation of venality, there would still be a hurdle for an interventionist industrial policy to leap: the considerable question of competence.
Those who advocate 'picking winners' both here and in the United States look fondly at the supposed exemplars of Japan and France. In both cases, the historical experience is far from favourable to the case for intervention. Whatever the erstwhile influence of Tokyo's MITI, most observers agree it is waning as Japanese businesses increasingly find themselves at the frontier of new products and processes and hence unable to catch up with an existing overseas model.
Even in Japan's copycat days, help for basic product research and development was usually shared between several competitors, which then fought fiercely for domestic and overseas markets. So the government did not try to pick winners. The sharp changes in Japanese market shares in cars or electronics show that these are highly competitive markets far from being orchestrated by an industry ministry bureaucrat.
The experience of French interventionism is even less helpful to the case, as a study by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development made clear some years ago (1). Its special survey of French industrial policy said '. . . the assistance and protection extended to industry with the object of improving its export performance were in some respects ineffective and sometimes perverse in that they delayed necessary adjustments'.
The report cited electrical and electronic equipment as an industry that had received sustained support without any apparent improvement in its world standing, and concluded: 'The relative stability of industrial comparative advantages, despite the variety of industrial policy stances adopted by different countries, shows that ultimately governments have little scope for altering them.'
Mr Heseltine can, of course, point to the considerable success of the Welsh economy during the long tenure of the interventionist Secretary of State for the principality, Peter Walker, as support for his case. Wales was certainly a Thatcher-free zone for most of the Eighties, and it also steadily improved its industrial standing relative to the rest of the United Kingdom, as the graphs taken from a recent Welsh CBI paper show (2).
Since emerging from the 1979- 81 recession, Welsh manufacturing output has consistently grown at a more rapid rate than elsewhere, taking the principality's share from 3.8 per cent of the UK total in 1980 to 5.1 per cent in 1990. Manufacturing productivity leapt from 92 per cent of the UK average in 1980 to 106 per cent by 1990, sharply improving Wales's manufacturing competitiveness.
The CBI paper makes clear, though, that the real secret of Wales's success was the high level of manufacturing investment over the period, which made labour productivity gains much easier to achieve. In 1981, net capital spending in Wales was 6.8 per cent of the UK total, already a high share for a region with just 4 per cent of the UK manufacturing workforce. But by 1991 that share had risen to 7.7 per cent of the UK total. Throughout the Eighties, Welsh investment per manufacturing employee was two thirds higher than in the UK as a whole.
This investment did not come about because Mr Walker directed it, but because he succeeded, with the help of assisted area status, in selling the principality to overseas investors such as Sony, Ford and Bosch. The Welsh economy floated to success on a tide of inward direct investment, rather as the Flemish part of Belgium did in the Fifties and Sixties.
Encouraging inward investment is, of course, a thoroughly legitimate aspect of industrial policy, but it does not involve picking winners. Sony and Bosch pick them for you.
The most successful styles of industrial policy are likely to be those that foster a helpful climate for businesses rather than those that try to make specific decisions about risk and investment on behalf of businesses.
Markets have their limits, but governments do too.

Emerging conflicts of interest and abuse in the distribution of scientific information have those in the scientific community grappling with ways to protect the scientific publication process. The increasing prominence of industry-sponsored research is perceived to be largely responsible for the conflict. Despite the implementation of measures intended to limit the role of industry in science, however, new abuses continue to emerge. A revolution in thinking, therefore, is needed to put scientific publications within a framework that allows the system to be better understood. This new framework must exist outside of the long-held belief that, because science is concerned with the pursuit of absolute truths, science and scientists are impervious to error and abuse. A rhetorical approach to the scientific publication process will allow science to be evaluated more critically and understood as a collaborative and evolving process that is subject to the same limitations as other forms of communication.

President's Blog
Presidential Blog - 17th April 2017
Well, another 4 weeks have passed since my last blog and I am now 5 months into my Presidency. I am enjoying every minute of it, but it is a busy job and, at times, I am finding it difficult to strike that healthy work-life balance. As I write this, I have just enjoyed a week at home, although rest and relaxation has not always been high on the agenda. I have managed to fit in some lovely walks with my dog, Snoop, some gardening and some decorating, as well as some preparation for our Board meeting on the 24th April. I hope you have all had a lovely Easter weekend and enjoyed some well- deserved rest and relaxation.
External meetings have been relatively scarce this month with the Easter break, although I have managed to catch up with Laura Turton, Operations Manager for the BSA. One of the aims of the BAA this year is to look at some joint working with other associations and Laura and I are continuing to look at ways that this might happen between BSA and BAA. I also attended a meeting of the Action Plan on Hearing Loss (Early Diagnosis) Task and Finish Group, chaired by Paul Breckell. The group have been reviewing a paper entitled "Increasing early diagnosis of hearing loss in adults: Review and Recommendations for future work". It is hoped that this will be published as a detailed work plan for the Action Plan on Hearing Loss. I will keep you updated on its progress.
I have also been in regular contact with Gemma Twitchen from AoHL, who has been keeping a close eye on the activity around the consultations by both Milton Keynes and Enfield CCG's on the provision of hearing aid services. The Enfield consultation has now been extended to the 30th April. BAA will of course keep you up to date with any further news around the activities of CCG's around the country.
I have spent some time this month working remotely with Wendy Farrington Chadd, our Consultant CEO looking at our BAA Board Job descriptions, policies and the BAA Constitution, all of which are due an update. Wendy has also worked with Darren Cordon, our Board Director for Pub and Comms, on the content for our proposed membership survey, which is ready in draft format and will go to our Board meeting next week for approval. Watch out for it dropping into your inbox and it would be great if you could take a few minutes of your time to complete it. We are a membership organisation and take very seriously the thoughts and opinions of our members. Your suggestions and thoughts will be taken into consideration when planning the future activity of BAA and its teams and committees. Karen Shepherd, our Board Director for CPD and Regional Groups has also been busy collecting information from our regional representatives and we will be discussing at our Board meeting next week, Karen's plan to improve regional activity to suit our membership.
I would like to take this opportunity to inform you that Matthew Murray has resigned from his position as treasurer and secretary to BAA this week. Matt has said that, 'In light of the changing requirements going forward for the role of treasurer I have decided to step down from this position. I have fully enjoyed my time on the Board of BAA and will continue to play an active role as a member.'
On behalf of the BAA, I thank Matt for his contribution over the past few years and wish him well for the future. Jagjit Sethi, our Immediate Past President and also past Treasurer will take on some of the duties of the treasurer in the short term working closely with Fitwise, myself and Wendy, our CEO. Once we have finalised the new job descriptions for Board members including Treasurer, we will be looking to recruit a new Board director to take up the role of Treasurer from November 2017.
I'll say goodbye for now, but look forward to updating you again in a couple of weeks. However, as always if you have anything you want to discuss with me, please feel free to contact me via our Fitwise admin on email@example.com
Presidential Blog – 19th March 2017
Another 2 weeks have passed by and it's a busy old time in the life of the BAA President.
As my last blog was released I was poised to attend the CSO Conference at the Crick Institute in London. What a great event bringing together Healthcare Scientists from various professions to share the innovative work that is going on in the world of Healthcare Science. Both Sue Hill, Chief Scientific Officer, and Simon Stevens, CEO of NHS England addressed the Conference and stressed the importance of collaboration within Healthcare Science. We are a key workforce within the NHS and yet are often poorly represented in NHS Trusts. There was a call for us all to make ourselves known to the Lead Healthcare Scientists within our Trusts and join the network to champion the role of Healthcare Science going forward. I call upon you, my Audiology friends and colleagues, who work within the NHS, to contact the Medical Director at your Trust to find out who your Lead Healthcare Scientist is, if indeed you have one!
Wendy Farrington-Chadd, our consultant CEO and I have finally pulled together the Annual and 5 Year Plan for BAA and shared it with the Past Presidents and Heads of Service (England) earlier this week. This was also the first opportunity that Wendy has had to meet with members directly and early feedback was good. Wendy has already started to collate potential questions for a membership survey and is working with Darren Cordon, our Pub and Comms Lead to hopefully get this out to membership in the next few months. She is also keen to look at data collected from our workforce survey conducted in September last year. Wendy has a particular interest in workforce planning and hopes to enable BAA to develop a strategy to address the workforce issues we are experiencing within Audiology.
You will have probably seen that 2 more CCGs have voiced potential plans to ration adult hearing aid services and both Milton Keynes and Enfield have consultations out for cuts to hearing aid provision to those with mild hearing loss, alongside plans to suggest unilateral fittings as a routine. I have spoken directly with the Milton Keynes CCG to express concerns on behalf of the profession and plan to contact Enfield next week. I have also spoken personally to the heads of service in both these areas to provide support and advice as necessary. I'm sure that this will not be last we hear of such cuts as CCGs attempt to save money.
I have also just completed an article for the Spring edition of the BAA magazine presenting the Annual Plan and 5 Year Strategic Plan for BAA. This magazine will soon be dropping through your letterboxes and again contains some great content. Thank you to all who contribute to its production.
By the time my next blog is due, BAA Conference 2017 will have been launched. Claire Benton and the Conference planning team have been working hard to pull together another fantastic event and I'm sure you won't be disappointed. Over the coming months, I look forward to updating you on the fantastic programme and plans for the party of the year, the BAA Gala Dinner. I have a particular reason to be excited about the Gala Dinner as a few weeks before Conference, I will be celebrating a 'special' birthday and hope it will be a birthday party to remember. I look forward to seeing many of you there. It's a party not to be missed!!
Well on that exciting note, I'll say goodbye for now, but look forward to updating you again in a couple of weeks. However, as always if you have anything you want to discuss with me, please feel free to contact me via our Fitwise admin on firstname.lastname@example.com
Presidential Blog - 5th March 2017
It's been 4 weeks since my last blog – the time just seems to fly by!
Lots of work is going on behind the scenes in BAA with Conference planning going well for Bournemouth 2017. Claire Benton and Sue Falkingham joined Phyllis, our Events Manager from Fitwise and some of our key sponsors on a site visit to Liverpool last week, which is our proposed venue for 2018.
Whilst Claire and Sue enjoyed Liverpool, I joined Wendy, our Consultant CEO and other Board members at the Action Plan on Hearing Loss Event in London, This event was held on World Hearing Day and gave attendees an overview of the work that is currently being undertaken by the Task and Finish Groups looking at the outputs of the Action Plan. BAA is one of the stakeholders with a place on each of these groups working hard to put some of the planned outcomes of the Action Plan into reality. It was an opportunity for Wendy to meet some key people in the Audiology world and an opportunity for me to catch up with lots of familiar faces who have inspired me on my journey to this point. I am still incredibly proud to represent my profession in the role of President and assure you all that I am working hard to do that in as many forums as I can. It is often hard work to juggle my presidential role, my clinical role and my home life and I'm not sure my work/life balance is too good at present, but I am enjoying every minute of it!
Wendy and I have also being working hard to finalise the Annual and 5 Year Plan for BAA. It is now almost ready to be shared and we will be presenting it to our Past President's Group at the next meeting on the 14th March and then to our Heads of Service in England at the meeting on the 15th March. I will be writing an article for the next magazine presenting the plans and the streams of work BAA Board are working on this year. We are also planning a membership survey which should hopefully be with you in early May. We would be really grateful if you could take the time to fill it in as we value the views of you our members and want to be sure that we, the BAA Board, are representing you as you would want us to.
Unfortunately, I am currently involved in talks with the CCG in Milton Keynes as they propose cuts to the adult hearing aid service including cuts to the provision of aids for those with mild hearing loss and a proposal to provide monaural rather than binaural aids. BAA are providing support to the head of service in Milton Keynes and I hope we can provide a strong case for the CCG to rethink their proposals. The consultation is open until the end of March so let's keep our fingers crossed.
As you read this blog, I will be attending the CSO Conference at the Crick Institute in London, celebrating the work of the Healthcare Science profession and networking with other healthcare scientists from around the country.
Well, I'm sure that's enough from me, but as always if you have anything you want to discuss with me, please feel free to contact me via our Fitwise admin on email@example.com
Presidential Blog - 5th February 2017
Another hectic couple of weeks trying to juggle home, family, work and BAA commitments! I am often rather disgruntled to hear people criticising what the BAA does (or doesn't do) for them. The BAA President, Board members and its many committee members are volunteers and work on behalf of BAA in their own time. Despite all the warnings from previous Presidents on the time commitment involved in the presidential year, I have been somewhat overwhelmed by the level of time involved. My day job as Clinical Lead for Adult Audiology at Sherwood Forest Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is a full time role, which I work over 4 long days, previously giving me Mondays as a rota day off. In the past I have used this as a 'BAA' day and a day to work on my MSc studies. I am currently a student on the Elizabeth Garrett Anderson programme studying for a MSc in Healthcare Leadership. Unfortunately, I have had to take a leave of absence from my studies, as I quickly realised that I could not give the level of commitment needed to do all my roles well. I will recommence my studies in January 2018. I have also realised that the BAA Presidential role, if done with the passion and enthusiasm it deserves, does not equate to one day a week. It is hard work, but well worth it. I am enjoying every minute!
We held the first BAA Board meeting of 2017 on the 23rd January, moving to Birmingham to try and reduce travel costs. It is interesting how the geographical spread of Board members changes over the years. We now have a much more 'northern' Board than when I first joined 5 years ago!
Discussions at Board took place around workforce concerns following the recent workforce survey sent out to Heads of Service in September 2016. Helen Martin is kindly reviewing the data obtained and there will be an update at the HoS meeting in March.
Ahead of the budget planning meeting on the 25th January, Matt Murray presented his treasurer's report, which unfortunately does not, at present, read well. In these days of financial uncertainty, however, it is not surprising to read that BAA is also seeing financial pressures have their effects. Conference 2016 in Glasgow did not do as well financially as we had hoped and this was mainly due to delegate numbers and sponsorship. Brexit is likely to have an impact on our sponsors and what they have to spend is likely to be less. The number of stall sales to smaller exhibitors was down, but this is comparable to the last time we held our Conference in Scotland. BAA Board take our annual conference very seriously and appreciate it is a major benefit to our membership, however, going forward we will have to consider locations very closely and go with only those that work financially. We are taking time to forward plan and risk assess in order to make the BAA Conference financially viable in the future. This might mean that we only have a few locations to choose from, as some locations are already being found to be out of our budget. This year we return to Bournemouth, as we managed to secure a good deal by agreeing 2014 and 2017 at the same time. This may be the way it works in future. Our Fitwise events manager, Phyllis and conference lead, Claire Benton have worked extremely hard over the last few weeks to secure a deal on hotel accommodation for Board, speakers and sponsors. They have used their experience to negotiate the best deal, using the size of our Conference as a bargaining tool. Phyllis, who has a vast amount of experience in event planning, did a lot of research finding somewhere where we can all fit in, looking at all costs and independent hotels versus several chains. In these times of financial uncertainty, I can assure you that BAA Board are looking at all costs before making our decisions and have the best interests of the BAA and our membership at heart when making these decisions. We are passionate about the BAA Conference and want to continue to provide a top quality event for our members, but it has to be financially viable, hence the need to look at all options in detail.
The budget meeting in Scotland on the 25th January was a day of financial forecasting and planning. BAA Board are currently trying to plan our activity in advance so that we can predict our expenditure more accurately. Our Board and committees are making good use of technology to reduce the need for travel to meetings, which can be a major cost. Booking travel in advance for meetings is also being actioned to enable good deals are obtained where possible. We are also looking at paperless systems to reduce postage and printing costs where possible.
I am playing my part in this cost reduction initiative and where possible, when attending meetings in London, I try to arrange a later start and earlier finish to avoid peak travel costs. This can have a significant effect reducing my daily travel costs to London by almost £100 per journey. Given that I attend meetings in London at least twice a month on average, over my presidential year this will result in significant savings.
This week sees a trip to London on Tuesday for the RCCP Professional Body Chairs meeting and an update on the negotiations between RCCP and AHCS regarding the future regulatory landscape for Clinical Physiologists. I will of course keep you updated.
If anyone would like to further discuss any of the above issues, please contact me on firstname.lastname@example.com and I will be happy to talk to you.
Presidential Blog - 22nd January 2017
Wow, what a busy couple of weeks since my last blog.
Just before Christmas, BAA was approached by Dr Gillian Manning, a Clinical Education Consultant, who as lead for curricula development within the MSC programme has previously worked with us to develop the Audiology specialist content of the Level 2 Diploma in Healthcare Science, the Practitioner and Scientist Training curricula and the HSST. She is now working on the development of the Level 4 Diploma in Healthcare Science that will underpin the education and training of Healthcare Science Associates, including Apprentices and has asked BAA to work with her again to agree the modules needed and generate the content for each module. Board members Christine DePlacido, Lizanne Steenkamp, Rosemary Monk and myself are currently working with Gillian to ensure the Audiology content supports the role of the Healthcare Science Associate. This work will provide the underpinning qualification which hopefully be launched in Autumn 2017.
January is a busy month for those of us working in acute NHS Trusts and this year has been particularly difficult. There is much in the media about the NHS crisis. This crisis is not confined to the emergency departments and BAA were contacted early this month by Brendan Cooper, President of the Academy of Healthcare Science, who felt that it was important for Healthcare Scientists to have their say using the One Voice campaign. I'm sure you will all agree that Audiology is currently being affected by ongoing staff shortages, budget cuts, increasing workload and waiting time pressures. There is some concern that Audiology is looking at a potential crisis and the results of a recent survey sent out to Heads of Service on behalf of BAA appear to confirm this. Helen Martin is kindly reviewing some of the data received and although the survey initiated a poor response, probably due to its length and detail required, which takes time that, at present, heads of service can ill afford, there is an indication that there is a workforce crisis looming in Audiology. We all know that funding pressures are beginning to impact on the training of audiologists. Unfortunately, this is not being escalated efficiently to HEE from HCS leads or heads of service. I am currently collating a response to Brendan's request on behalf of BAA, which will form part of the One Voice response directed to Health Ministers, NHS organisations, the Media and will also appear on Academy social media and Websites.
Rather timely then that this week I attended the CSO Healthcare Science Strategy meeting in London led by Sue Hill and Fiona Carragher. Workforce planning, training and funding were key features of the discussion. There are 90 Lead Healthcare Scientists in NHS Trusts around the country, but concerns were raised that networking between these leads is not as effective as it could be. Local and regional networks are required in order for us to get the traction and leverage we need to highlight the current difficulties that our profession is facing. BAA will be identifying who the HCS leads are around the country and encouraging our heads of service to network with them. Any members who already have good HCS networks at their Trust are encouraged to get in touch with BAA via firstname.lastname@example.com to share any good practice.
On a less gloomy note I recently met with BSA's operations manager Laura Turton to discuss potential collaborations and the output from this meeting will be discussed at BAA Board meeting tomorrow. I also have a meeting with BSHAA's new President, Sarah Vokes on the 1st February to discuss potential collaborations with BSHAA too. It is important that in these challenging times for our profession, we all work together to ensure a united voice is heard
If anyone would like to further discuss any of the above issues, please contact me on firstname.lastname@example.com and I will be happy to talk to you.
Presidential Blog - 9th January 2017
Well, it's a month since my last blog. I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and managed some well-deserved rest and relaxation. Myself and the rest of the BAA Board have taken the opportunity to chill out and spend some much needed time with our friends and family. I would like to that this opportunity to wish you all a very happy new year, let's hope it's a good one for the audiology profession. I would also, on behalf of the BAA Board, like to congratulate Gemma Leadbeater and her partner Liam on the birth of their daughter Mia Eve, who arrived late, but safely on Christmas Eve. Gemma was Board representative for Scotland until November this year. We will miss her on Board, but I'm sure she has her hands full with an equally rewarding role. Congratulations Gemma.
January is usually a miserable month and seems to last forever, I'm hoping my full diary is going to keep it moving along nicely – only 23 days to go!!
Since my last blog, I haven't really attended any meetings, but the work of the BAA still goes on in the background. I have been reviewing the output from our Strategy Day on the 5th December 2016 and look forward to sharing our plans for the year ahead after everything has been confirmed at our Board meeting on the 23rd January 2017. Today, I will be meeting with Wendy Farrington Chadd, our new CEO to discuss how we will work together to take BAA forward and support our membership in the coming year. If you would like to know more about Wendy, please take a look on the BAA website as she has written a short biography introducing herself to members.
On the 16th January, I am looking forward to meeting up with Laura Turton, Operations Manager for the BSA. It is one of the aims of BAA in 2017 to work closely with both BSA and BSHAA to ensure a united voice for the Audiology profession as a whole.
On the 18th January, I take my first trip to London of 2017 to attend the CSO Healthcare Science Strategy meeting chaired by Professor Sue Hill. Issues such as workforce development, clinical leadership and quality improvement will be discussed by healthcare scientists from many disciplines.
The 23rd January sees the first BAA Board meeting of 2017 in Birmingham. In order to try and reduce travel costs, given that many of our Board members are no longer southern based, we have moved our meetings from London. One of the items on the agenda to discuss are the results of the recent workforce planning survey performed by Helen Martin and Christine DePlacido on behalf of BAA. We thank Helen and Chris for their work on this much needed piece of work and look forward to sharing the results and any BAA actions in the next few months. The following day I make my way up to Scotland, weather permitting, for a meeting on the 25th January with Matt Murray, treasurer of BAA and the Fitwise team for budget setting.
January ends with the Alliance Strategy meeting and another trip to London to discuss strategy for the year ahead.
Well, a busy month ahead and I look forward to updating you all in my next blog. If you have any questions or queries about any aspect of work currently being undertaken by BAA Board and its committees, please contact us on email@example.com and we will be happy to discuss with you.
Presidential Blog - 12th December 2016
Well, I am now entering my 5th week as BAA President and the pace of work since my first blog 3 weeks ago has definitely quickened. My diary for January 2017 is already full and I have a stream of emails from people who want to meet up – since when did I become Mrs Popular :)
Since my last blog, I have attended the Early Diagnosis Task and Finish Group, one of the groups set up by NHS England, to take forward the Action Plan on Hearing Loss, published in 2015. Part of the remit of this group is to produce a scoping document on what might be a plan for opportunistic screening and this is a work in progress.
On 5th December, I met with BAA Board members, our new consultant CEO and members of the Fitwise Management team to plan our strategy for 2017 and beyond. We also welcomed new Board members to the team. Darren Cordon will become our new Pub, Comms, Website and IT lead. He will be supported by Sue Falkingham as she steps up into the role of Vice President. We said goodbye to Gemma Leadbeater as she stepped down from the Scottish rep role to take on a much more challenging role as a mum. We thank Gemma for her contributions and wish her well in her new role! Gordon McHardy returns to Board as Scottish rep and I look forward to joining him and other Scottish leads at their Heads of Service meeting in February 2017. It is also with regret that we announce that there will no longer be a BAA student committee. Sarah Holliday has worked tirelessly over the past few years as BAA Student rep, but due to work and personal commitments, she stood down in November and with no one to take on her role, the committee has collapsed. We thank Sarah for her hard work over the past few years and wish her well in the future. With this in mind, Neil Summerfield will step into a new role on Board as Student Liaison Lead. This is a work in progress, but Neil's remit will ultimately be to give the BAA student population a voice and a point of contact. A job description for this role is currently being written. We also sadly say goodbye to Harriet Crook, who has worked tirelessly as one of our Board Leads for Education over the last few years. Unfortunately, due to work and family commitments, Harriet is no longer able to commit to the role of Board Lead, but will continue to support the BAA. We thank Harriet for all her hard work and look forward to her continued support in the field of Education.
Keep an eye on the website and social media as we will publish our strategy for 2016 and all Board roles once they are all finalised. I am so excited to work with this amazing group of people who have decided yet again to give their time freely for the good of the profession and the BAA membership.
Finally I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a very healthy, happy and prosperous 2017. I do hope you all manage to enjoy a little rest and relaxation over the holiday period, before we meet the challenges that 2017 will inevitably bring to the world of Audiology.
Presidential Blog - 21st November 2016
It gives me great pleasure to introduce myself as the new President of the BAA. For those of you who don't know me, I am Clinical Lead for Adult Audiology at Sherwood Forest Hospitals Foundation Trust in North Nottinghamshire. I have been an audiologist for almost 30 years and remain passionate about my profession. My specialist area of interest is tinnitus and I was lucky enough to work with the NHS Improvement team in 2009- 2011 piloting one of the first Direct Access tinnitus clinics. It was during this project that I met some inspirational people who would go on to be the most influential people in my career, convincing me to volunteer for BAA Board. You know who you are!! And the rest they say is history. 5 years later here I am starting my presidential year and what an honour that is.
My first week has been relatively quiet, but I suspect this is the calm before the storm. On Wednesday, I attended the AHCS and RCCP Joint Board meeting, considering the areas of mutual interest where partnership could provide benefits. It was a productive day of discussion and I came away with much food for thought. It was also good to catch up with past BAA Board colleagues, Will Brassington and Jonathan Parsons. Although the rest of the week has been meeting free, the BAA work doesn't stop.
In 2 weeks, the BAA Board and our new CEO will meet in Manchester for our Strategy Day. This is when we will prepare our annual plan and each of the Board leads will take back streams of work for the coming year to their committees. I am so looking forward to working with this fabulous group of people who give their time freely for the good of their profession and the BAA membership.
Watch this space for regular updates on my presidential journey. If you want to contact me please email firstname.lastname@example.com and I will be happy to answer any questions/queries.

Old Windsor Road is a notable road in Sydney, Australia. It starts from Kellyville, New South Wales and ends at Northmead, New South Wales. The northern end links with Windsor Road while the southern end links with Cumberland Highway and James Ruse Drive.
The North-West T-way runs alongside the entire length of Old Windsor Road. Windsor is connected to Parramatta via the 31-kilometre-long (19 mi) Windsor Road cycleway, with much of its route via the North-West T-way, adjacent to the Old Windsor Road.[1]
Description and history[edit]
Old Windsor Road was part of the original Windsor Road, which opened in 1794.[2] This was the second main road built for the colony of Sydney to connect Parramatta and Windsor—a distance of 23 miles and 16 chains (37.33 km).[3] The northern section of Windsor Road and Old Windsor Road used to be continuous until 1812 when the new Windsor Road from Kellyville to Northmead was completed. As a result, the southern section of the original Windsor Road was renamed Old Windsor Road, and the northern section and the new Windsor Road become continuous, with Old Windsor Road meeting Windsor Road at a T-junction.
With the opening of M2 Hills Motorway in 1997, Metroad 2 was realigned to run along Old Windsor Road from the M2 terminus at Winston Hills to Kellyville, and then continuing along the alignment of Windsor Road to Windsor. The junction at Kellyville was reconstructed so that the northern section of Windsor Road became continuous with Old Windsor Road again at a T-junction.[4] In 2007, the junction at Bella Vista was upgraded so that an underpass for Old Windsor Road could be constructed. Recently, State Route 40 was realigned to Old Windsor Road instead of Windsor Road from Kellyville to Northmead. Almost all of its original concrete markers have disappeared with the extensive road widening. One section has been restored to its original state as it passes Rouse Hill House and Rouse Hill Public School, with the traffic diverted onto a new section of road.[3]

Megan Tschannen-Moran, professor at the College of William & Mary.
Too often, school is just not fun anymore. The students are not happy nor are the adults. The accountability movement has driven much of the joy and creativity out of schools. Schools have become places of fear, anxiety, and pressure to pass high-stakes tests, which has resulted in a narrowing of the goals and purposes of school. Educators long for schools where kids can be kids. Join us as we explore what makes a school a vibrant place to be a place where collaboration, creativity, and connection are nurtured to support agency and independent thought through compassion, trust, andadopting a strengths-based orientation. Let's imagine together schools where curiosity and the joy of discovery are fostered, and where there is room for laughter, movement and play.
The lecture is open to all.

With the marks so close after Saturday's cross-country, the pressure was intense. 'And I certainly felt it, I nearly lost my way several times,' Leng said, with a grin. 'I'd come here feeling hopeful, rather than confident, this was the biggest surprise of my life.'
As usual, competitors jumped in the reverse order of merit and to mounting tension. Mary Thomson, who cruised round Saturday's awesome cross-country course on King William, proved how much can be lost over the tamer show jumps when the horse clobbered rails out of six fences. Thomson plummeted from fourth to 20th place as a result.
New Zealand's world champion, Blyth Tait, lying third overnight on Ricochet, put the pressure on with a clear round. This was the last event before the 15-year-old horse retires and it was still possible that he might end his career with victory.
Tanya Cleverly dropped one place below Tait, with a mistake on Watkins. Leng would have slipped back, too, had the 10-year-old grey, Welton Houdini, dislodged one rail, but he jumped clear in hushed silence that erupted into emotional roars for Leng's third Badminton victory.
Tait, formerly a show jumper, had watched with resignation. 'I wanted to win, but I didn't want to wish bad luck on anyone else,' he said, after finishing runner-up for the second time in only his second ride here.
Cleverly, 28, had intended to retire before her fine performance for third place on Watkins. 'It's become a financial crisis, I'm doing this on a shoestring without a groom,' she said. 'My lorry broke down on the way here and that means another big bill.' The pounds 12,000 that Cleverly won for finishing third will help her through the crisis. It may also persuade her to stay in the sport, at least until September's European Championships, for which she is now an obvious candidate for Britain's team.
The British selectors must also have been pleased with the performances of other riders in their twenties: notably William Fox-Pitt, 24, seventh on Chaka, Charlotte Hollingsworth, 27, eighth on last year's Burghley winner, The Cool Customer, and Nick Burton, 25, ninth in his first Badminton on Bertie Blunt.
BADMINTON THREE-DAY EVENT (Avon): 1 Welton Houdini (V Leng, GB) 43.0 penalties; 2 Ricochet (B Tait, NZ) 44.8; 3 Watkins (T Cleverly, GB) 48.2; 4 Chief (V Latta, NZ) 50.0; 5 Mr Punch (A Hermann, Swe) 54.4; 6 Quart du Placineu (M-C Duroy, Fr) 55.85; 7 Chaka (W Fox-Pitt, GB) 56.25; 8 The Cool Customer (C Hollingsworth, GB) 56.6.

The verdict is in, Jian Ghomeshi has been acquitted of the sexual assault charges against him. But does that mean he still has a place on air after the dust has settled?
Martin Waxman, public relations expert and president of the consultancy Martin Waxman Communications of Toronto, says Ghomeshu would need a drastic attitude change to begin taking those steps.
He needs to show that he isn't as egocentric, he's not as narcissistic, that he is humble. And that he realizes there are two sides to every story and that people perceived his actions, whether he intended it or not, differently than maybe he perceived them and he needs to show empathy I think with the victims.
The people who were fans of Ghomeshi before the scandal broke may not be the same people who would listen to him now, Waxman says. If Ghomeshi were to return to the airwaves in any capacity, his audience could be "a fanbase that may think his actions are okay."
It comes down to a matter of trust, you know, you're on the air, your listeners trust you, they listen to you, they believe you. Jian Ghomeshi broke the trust with his listeners and with many, many other people.
He could start a podcast, he could leave the country and host radio somewhere new, Ghomeshi has options. But Waxman says regardless of his acquittal, Ghomeshi's negative exposure will follow him, and his career may never be the same as a result.
Your search results follow you. If you search his name, all you see now are stories of course about the trial and the charges, now the acquittal. But the press around the acquittal isn't positive, it isn't 'okay, he was acquitted, let's move on.' It's 'has justice been served?'

Product description for POC OCTAL AERO RACEDAY from our collection of Outdoor Sports & Fashion:
The Octal Aero Raceday by POC is based on the award winning and lightweight Octal helmet. It has the same safety, ventilation and comfort but is complemented by an external microshell, which has been developed for use in events where low drag is crucial.
The Octal helmet provides more coverage and additional protection for the temples and back of the head and the EPS liner is strategically thicker in the most exposed areas. The unique and fully wrapped unibody PC shell construction functions as a monocoque and enhances the safety properties and construction integrity of the helmet while maintaining a low weight.
The lightweight size adjustment system ensures a comfortable and secure fit while the Coolbest padding helps reduce the temperature at the interface between the helmet and head.
Available in three size:

Recent reviews
Excellent 4.4 /5 from 60 reviews
The hotel is a bit far from downtown Zurich (probably a 30-45 minute train ride) but ideal if you need to be in the area for meetings, etc. The rooms were very nice and the hotel staff as well - very accommodating. I would certainly stay there again if I was traveling in the region.
We stayed at Seedham Plaza to attend the Rapperswil-Jona Blues and Jazz Fest. We really enjoyed this hotel. Our room was large, very clean and the staff was friendly and helpful. We did not use the casino at all, but what I did note was that unlike most casinos, this one did not intrude at all on the hotel experience. Our room was quiet and room service was great.
Clean and stylish hotel. Bar was bustling while I was there. More affordable than staying in Zurich.
Ok hotel but over priced
Good restaurant Good service
