For purposes of this discussion, we're assuming you're familiar with bone conduction hearing and you've determined a bone- anchored hearing device is right for your hearing loss.
The first thing to do is see an audiologist for a hearing test and the chance to try out all the bone conduction hearing devices on the market – ours, and our competitors' – because nothing you read on this (or any) site will come close to trying bone-anchored hearing devices out for yourself.
Of course, the most single important feature of any hearing device is how well you hear when using it. Beyond that, consider these deciding factors:
The question of abutments (also known as "posts" or "screws") relates to how you want to fasten the sound processor to your head.
You have three choices: Abutments, Magnets, and Headbands.
Dating back to the 1970s, an abutment is the "original" way a sound processor would be held in place. This "per-cutaneous" (through the skin) procedure is fine most of the time but sometimes leads to complications.
A headband of hard plastic or soft fabric can be used to hold the sound processor in place.
Headbands are primarily used in pediatric cases, especially because no bone conduction hearing implant is indicated for children under the age of 5. Headbands are also a risk-free way for you to wear and test a SophonoTM bone conduction hearing device for a week, before choosing surgery.
A magnet implanted behind the ear uses magnetism to keep the sound processor in place.
Recognizing patients' preferences for an abutment-free solution, Dr. Ralf Siegert invented the first commercially successful "trans-cutaneous" (through unbroken skin) system that is the basis for today's SophonoTM solution.
The Sophono™ magnetic bone-anchored hearing system (BAHS) features Patient-Controlled Comfort™. With Sophono™, you'll be able to switch the Attract® magnet spacer strength to your comfort and physical activity level. The Attract® magnet spacers come in multiple strengths to allow for optimal comfort and are professionally fit and adjusted by your audiologist.
The Sophono™ processor is small, has a low profile and can be hidden under the hair. Processors come in four elegant colors and can be accessorized with Skinit decals. With abutment-free hearing — there's no visible, skin-penetrating abutment to clean each day.
Sophono™ boasts the lowest profile implant on the market, a safe alternative to more intrusive implants.1 Our low profile implant follows the curve of the bone, making it a safe bone conduction implant.2
Other magnetic BAHS sit above the surface of the skull and can cause a visible bump. The SophonoTM implant has a low profile and can be implanted completely flat against the skull, hidden under your hair.3,4,5
The implant lies completely under skin and has low risk of skin issues.6,7 As a result, the low-profile implant is less likely to have severe complications after trauma – far safer for a more active lifestyle.8,9
Our newest device, Sophono™ the Alpha 2 MPO™, is the result of more than 10 years of research and clinical testing. The abutment-free bone anchored hearing system (BAHS) provides you an innovative hearing therapy.
To learn about the Sophono ™ Alpha 2 MPO™ please refer to the Sophono™ Pediatric Guide or Consumer Guide (PDF).
Please also explore the Frequently Asked Questions about the Sophono Alpha 2 MPO™.
A simple outpatient surgery means you'll be able to be fitted for your Alpha 2 MPO™ processor only four weeks after the operation. Check with your physician to determine the proper timing for fitting your magnetic processor.12,13,14,15
You'll enjoy maximum sound transfer from the Alpha 2 MPO™ device, through your skin and magnetic implant to the working cochlea, thanks to our trademarked TET™ (Transcutaneous Energy Transfer) technology.17
Sophono™ offers more sound amplification (gain) than any other magnetic transcutaneous system!18
The processor is a completely programmable, digital hearing system including 8 channels, 16 frequency bands, and 4 programs. Dual-directional microphone system amplifies the sound in front of you while reducing background noise; Automatic feedback suppression; Direct audio input for FM, personal music players, and mobile phones.
While the first generation devices, the Alpha 1 and 2, are no longer sold, we continue to support patients with information and customer care. The most current processor available is the Alpha 2 MPO™ magnetic bone- anchored hearing system (BAHS). Please check with your doctor and audiologist to see if the Sophono™ is right for you.
Good health practice requires that a person with a hearing loss have a medical evaluation by a licensed physician (preferably a physician who specializes in diseases of the ear) before purchasing a hearing aid. Licensed physicians who specialize in diseases of the ear are often referred to as otolaryngologists, otologists or otorhinolaryngologists. The purpose of medical evaluation is to assure that all medically treatable conditions that may affect hearing are identified and treated before the hearing aid is purchased.
The audiologist or hearing aid dispenser will conduct a hearing aid evaluation to assess your ability to hear with and without a hearing aid. The hearing aid evaluation will enable the audiologist or dispenser to select and fit a hearing aid to your individual needs.
If you have reservations about your ability to adapt to amplification, you should inquire about the availability of a trial-rental or purchase-option program. Many hearing aid dispensers now offer programs that permit you to wear a hearing aid for a period of time for a nominal fee after which you may decide if you want to purchase the hearing aid.

In addition to seeing a physician for a medical evaluation, a child with a hearing loss should be directed to an audiologist for evaluation and rehabilitation since hearing loss may cause problems in language development and the educational and social growth of a child. An audiologist is qualified by training and experience to assist in the evaluation and rehabilitation of a child with a hearing loss.

A blood test for depression? New research points the way

A simple blood test may one day be all that is needed to help parents figure out whether a child is suffering from clinical depression or normal teenage angst, a new study suggests.
In a pilot study of 28 adolescents, scientists showed that teenage depression could be diagnosed through a panel of 11 genetic markers, according to a report published in the journal Translational Psychiatry.
If the results are confirmed in larger trials, doctors doctors may one day be able to screen for depression just as they do for diabetes, says co-author Eva Redei, the David Lawrence Stein professor of psychiatric diseases affecting children and adolescents at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine.
This new research could help not only teens, but also adults suffering from depression, says Dr. Michael Thase, a professor of psychiatry at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania.
"This is very interesting early research that could point to the development of not just biomarkers, but also help with the identification of new genes that are involved with the expression of this common illness," he says. "And that could potentially lead to new treatments."
With no actual test, diagnosis of depression is currently subjective and depends upon a person's ability to identify and describe symptoms. This is especially difficult for teens who may be particularly out of touch with what's going on.
Researchers developed their test by first studying rats specially bred to model human depression. While rats don't experience all the symptoms of depression, they do show many of the same signs.
"They huddle together," says Redei. "They don't move around alot. They aren't much interested in playing. They're less interested in food than normal rats. And they don't sleep well."
Intriguingly, the "depressed" rats also respond well to certain antidepressants, says Redei.
" In reality, depression affects our ancient brains as much as our new brain," she says. "And the ancient brain is the same in humans as it is in rats."
Severe depression is thought to be caused by a combination of environmental and complicated genetic factors, she explains, and given the right genetics, can be kicked off by "any kind of environmental challenge such as trauma or life stresses."
To see how the depressive brain reacts to environmental triggers, Redei and her colleagues looked at differences in the way normal rats and depression-model rats behaved in response to stress. They pulled blood samples from all the rats and found a host of markers that differed between the two groups.
In the second part of their study, the researchers examined blood from 14 depressed and 14 healthy teens, looking at the levels of 26 markers that had been identified in the depression-model rats.
They found that 11 of those markers, taken together, accurately predicted which teens were clinically depressed.
Thase, of the University of Pennsylvania, says further research may be a boon to diagnosing both teen and adult depression.
"Now you want to see if they get the same results with older people," he says. "Or does it have something to do specifically with early onset depression?"

Neurostar TMS Therapy is a safe, FDA cleared, effective office based treatment.
The NeuroStar TMS Therapy system, developed by Neuronetics,
offered at TMS of Westchester is the first and only non-systemic and non-invasive TMS system cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of patients with major depressions who have not benefited from prior antidepressant treatment. This non-invasive treatment for depression uses a highly focused, pulsed magnetic field to stimulate function in targeted brain regions. It is made available to patients by prescription only and delivered under the supervision of a psychiatrist.
NeuroStar TMS Therapy is:
Non-invasive, meaning that it does not involve surgery. It does not require any anesthesia or sedation, and the patient remains awake and alert during the treatment.
Non-systemic, meaning that it is not taken by mouth and does not circulate in the blood stream throughout the body.
In clinical studies, treatment with TMS caused few side effects and was generally well tolerated by patients. There is a rare risk of seizure associated with TMS.
Antidepressant medication commonly reported side effects include:
• Weight gain
• Dry mouth
• Nausea
• Fatigue
• Drowsiness
• Headache / Migraine
• Insomnia
• Decreased libido
• Impotence
• Anxiety
• Tremor
TMS Therapy commonly reported side effects include:
• Mild to moderate scalp pain which dissipates after the first few treatments.
TMS therapy has been safely administered with over 20 years of research in the treatment of depression. TMS of Westchester uses the NeuroStar TMS therapy system, which is the ONLY TMS device that is FDA cleared and proven safe and effective for the treatment of depression. TMS therapy should not be used on patients with implanted metallic devices or non-removable metallic objects in or around the head.
• In an open-label clinical trial, most like real world clinical practices, 1 out of 2 patients treated with NeuroStar TMS experienced significant improvement in depression symptoms.
• 1 out of 3 experienced complete symptom relief at the end of 6 weeks
Consider TMS Therapy if you feel any of the following:,
1. Feel you are not getting adequate benefit from your current treatment
2. Feel you are taking too much medication to treat your depression
3. Feel the side effects of your medication outweigh the benefits
4. Believe your depression has increased your doctor visits for other healthcare conditions
5. Believe your depression is affecting your ability to make a living
6. Believe your depression has too much control over your life

Many times as an amateur photographer on a cold fall or winter evening I have seen skies that are clear and the Kootenai River shimmering in the surrounding night light and anticipate what is to come. The next morning I come out of the house to see a clear sky. As I left the house the air was thick with anticipation but when I got outside to see a clear picturesque morning I saw nothing but fog. The sky was a veil of haze, I couldn�t see the river, couldn�t see the sky, the fog has blocked my view. It was like a river of clouds.
Numerous people in Boundary County witness the phenomenon of valley fog formation on the Kootenai River. Fog is a ground-level cloud that forms when the air temperature lowers to the dew point. Fog is especially known to those who live in the valleys.
Fog can develop anytime of the year, but valley fog is more prevalent in the fall, followed by winter. It is common for people, who live in valleys, to exit their homes during the night and find fog flowing freely around their homes. It is also common for these same people to drive into patches of fog during early morning rides to work. Fog usually develops during a night in which the sky is clear, the air temperature cools, and the wind is calm, growing sometimes to a couple hundred feet in height depending on the moisture present in the air. It then dissipates as the sun rises the following day. In deep valleys, fog can persist for several days.
In the fall, air temperatures are cool, but temperatures of water bodies such as rivers and streams are still relatively warm. This is due to water taking longer to cool and warm throughout the year compared to the air in the atmosphere. In general water bodies warm and cool much slower than air. The maximum and minimum temperatures of air in the atmosphere occur, on average, six weeks into the summer and winter respectively. For water bodies, since they reach maximum temperature close to the beginning of the fall, it is ideal that fog formation would be at its peak during the fall season. Water bodies are still warm but nights are getting cooler, conditions that can support the formation of fog.
During fall the water in the Kootenai River; most of the time, will be relatively warmer than the air in the valley. Molecules from the water body are always evaporating, putting moisture in the air. If a cool, calm, and clear night comes, and the air temperature approaches the dew point temperature, fog will begin to form.
After fog develops overnight, it usually persists until sunrise; afterward it begins to dissipate. When the sun rises, the energy from the sun begins to warm the ground. As the sun�s energy begins to warm the earth, the air molecules closest to the ground begin to warm by conduction from the ground. This causes the air molecules at the ground surrounding the fog to become relatively warm. This warming of the air causes the air around the perimeter of the fog to rise.
Energy from the sun is able to warm the top layers of the fog which causes the air temperature in those layers to increase. The air temperature increases away from the dew point temperature, and causes the fog to start evaporating.
As the sun continues to rise, more of the sun�s energy is able to reach deeper and further into the perimeter of the fog. Eventually the fog evaporates.
Enjoy the beauty of Boundary County even if it is veiled in haze.

Hi there everyone. Hope you are all well and looking forward to the weekend!
The weather is blowing hot and cold literally and with the wind comes the cooler or hotter temperatures. On drive this morning the weather was quite pleasant as we had this blanket of cloud covering Djuma keeping all the nice hot air bundled in close to Earth. But the winds are still howling outside so who knows what the weather will bring in the next few days.
Pictures taken of the new FC Carpeting
The sightings on game drive have been more about the General Game at the moment – which has been nice for a change as we have really been able to focus on the usual animals that we wouldn't always spend alot of time on, with the cats and most pachyderms being absent.
Buffelshoek management has over the past week burnt firebreaks between Djuma and Buffleshoek area. And with the burnt grassy areas and still smouldering trees comes the birdlife. Driving on the roads along the burnt areas you get to see some amazing bird life that come into the blackened areas to eat the exposed grass seeds and insects that are around. Just the other day Marc and I saw the trio of Ground Hornbills on such a patch and after we had closed off for drive, one of them flew into a tree and grabbed a chameleon out of its branches. We both gasped as one rarity ate another but that is the way life in the bush is I suppose.
On Wednesday's drives Jared and I started out on a very chilly morning with just some Kudu and a journey of Giraffe. The morning was a still one with not much game as I think they were hiding away from the bitingly cold air we were driving around in.
In the afternoon Tara and Marc spotted a really nice herd of elephant which they spent some time with and then to end off the day Tara did her fireside chat with Marc this time, as a guest, chatting about Leopard Identification. Mostly talking about Karula and her boys and the now very talked about Mixo / Tara and Marc encounter on drive.
Tara at the Majingilane Sighting
Thursday morning the chaps out on drive saw some Elephant again and a really nice herd of Kudu. It was another chilly morning out there so once again the animals seemed to be hiding.
In the afternoon Tara and myself went out and found a journey of Giraffe near Gowrie dam and tried to follow up on a leopard that had been seen around the dam by Graham (The Gowrie Gang) earlier in the afternoon. No such luck unfortunately.
Patrick will be returning from leave on Monday morning and Jared and myself are due to go on leave this Tuesday coming. So the wheel continues to turn as they say.
From another windy day down here at Sabi Sands I say cheerio for now.

Beth hadn't seen Mark in years, but when she does he's definitely all grown up and quite a stunning man. Caught off guard, she accidently drops a plate of lasagna in his lap, and things only spiral out of control from there. Mark doesn't instantly recognize Beth – she's all grown up herself – but having hot food dropped on his pants, and then Beth trying to wipe it all up most certainly caught his attention. Mark is instantly smitten, but wooing Beth is not an easy road to take. Can he convince her to be his?
I found this to be a fun, lighthearted romance novel, almost a comedy. Klutzy mishaps and plenty of laughter are filled in this great short story, but I really appreciated how there was still a decent sized plot and interesting characters. Beth has her secrets, and not an easy past she's working on overcoming and Mark also has plenty of surprises. I loved how the characters were interesting and vibrant. Readers who enjoy laughing as much as sighing happily at their romance should find this as good a read as I did.
There are plenty of heated glances and a couple of steamy kisses. This is definitely a sweet romance though, with everything occurring behind firmly closed doors. Coupled with the plot and strongly humorous story-telling I feel this should appeal to a very wide range of readers of all ages and interests.
A fun, happy story that I greatly enjoyed. I will definitely be looking for more of Ms. Hollingworth's work.

Sometimes he'll go all day without saying a word, but then suddenly remember at bedtime.
Case in point:
Me: [Tucking in Sam, saying a prayer for him, tickling his toes, and kissing him goodnight.]
Sam's response: "Dog-gie?" with the gie a few syllables higher, as if to question whether we're getting one anytime soon.
Aside from getting a pet (which we're not quite ready for), any suggestions?
3 comments:
What about a stuffed dog? Or one that barks or something. I don't know, just a suggestion. In my opinion, nothing compares with a real dog, but believe me I understand you not being ready for one. As much as I'd love to get one now, I know it isn't the right time. :(

Payton loved stuffed animals when he was little. He could not go to sleep without them. Maybe you could try that?? Yesterday, we went to Wal-Mart and they have Valentine's stuffed singing animals! Payton was immediately drawn to them & carried one around in the store. He really wanted one but they were $16! So I'm going to go the day after V-Day and see if they have some left for 1/2 price. Maybe you could do the same. Just a thought.

21 February 2013 – London, UK – The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) has approved a €9.2 million loan to SC Hidroprahova SA, the water and wastewater operator for the Prahova area of Romania, to help finance its €146.2 million investment programme. The EBRD loan is being provided alongside EU Cohesion Funds of €116.5 million as well as funding from the local and state governments.
The project will result in some 170,000 people receiving safer water and sanitation services in Prahova county in south-eastern Romania while also greatly reducing the losses that occur in the water treatment process. The investment programme will raise the quality of drinking water in line with EU directives and will increase access to water and sewerage services in the company's service area. The investment is also expected to significantly reduce SC Hidroprahova's water losses while lowering the operating costs of the company.
Once the programme is completed, 96 per cent of the population in the project area is expected to be connected to a safe water supply, while for wastewater the connection rate in the project area is expected to increase to 91 per cent.
The project will also promote renewable energy investments through an important energy efficiency element: SC Hidroprahova plans to introduce between 3,000 and 5,000 solar panels with a total installed capacity of 0.8-1 MW in its wastewater treatment plants.
Jean-Patrick Marquet, Director for Municipal and Environmental Infrastructure at the EBRD, said: "The EBRD's support is key to facilitating the absorption of EU funds for infrastructure upgrades in Romania. Through this new investment, the Bank is continuing to support the modernisation of water services in the country, helping to improve the quality of water supply and wastewater services and align them to EU standards."
Dumitru Pantea, General Manager of SC Hidroprahova, said: "The project is of major importance for Prahova county and we are delighted to work with the EBRD in order to improve water and wastewater services in the area. The implementation of this project represents an important step in ensuring provision of quality water and wastewater services in this part of Romania, while the implementation of the Bank's environmental and social policies supports the development of SC Hidroprahova as the regional water operator."
The project includes the extension and modernisation of SC Hidroprahova's water and wastewater networks in eight agglomerations in Prahova county: Breaza, Baicoi, Campina, Mizil, Plopeni, Sinaia, Urlati and Valenii de Munte.
The EBRD's €9.2 million loan is a subproject of the €330 million Regional EU Cohesion Fund Co-financing Framework (R2CF) which was launched in 2010 and extended in September 2012 to support investments in Romania's water and wastewater infrastructure and help municipalities absorb the financing available from EU Cohesion Funds. It is estimated that the framework will mobilise additional investments of approximately €2 billion in Romania's water and wastewater infrastructure.
The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) was established in 1991 to nurture the private sector in central and eastern Europe and ex-soviet countries. Today the EBRD uses investment to help build market economies and democracies in countries from central Europe to central Asia. The EBRD is the largest single investor in the region and mobilizes significant foreign direct investment beyond its own financing. Owned by 61 countries and two intergovernmental institutions, the EBRD provides project financing for banks, industries and businesses. The EBRD invested €8.7 billion in 388 individual projects in 2012. For more information about the bank, visit http://www.ebrd.com/index.htm

Bushy Park 5k Run
Yesterday evening, the sun came out as Ben, Louisa and I ran the 5k at the beautiful Bushy Park. Organised by Mundays Solicitors, around 170 people of all fitness levels, from running clubs to novices such as myself, gathered in the sunshine by the Diana Fountain.
Louisa sped ahead and managed to come in fourth place out of the ladies, just missing out on a podium prize. Ben triumphed over his past back issues with an impressive 24 minutes 30, and he is still walking today! I did find it a struggle, but also finished well under the half hour mark with a time of 25 minutes 45 and overall enjoyed the experience of running in such lovely surroundings.
All this effort was to raise money for our fantastic charity of the year; the Royal Hospital for Neuro-disability.

Justice resident's opinion on the 2011 campaigningFriday, April 1st, 2011
As election day draws closer we get more emails from residents expressing their opinions on what's been going on this election season. Here is a piece sent into us by a local resident and it has been published here with their permission.
Every election gets dirtier and dirtier. The sins and secrets of anyone running is published. Why? Why? Why? Isn't an election about what each candidate can or hopes to do for the Village. Why do we have to have the skeletons come out of the closet? As long as the person running for office is capable to hold that position, why do I or anyone else care what he/she does in their private lives? Why do I care if someone serves coffee for a living, as long a they take my tax dollars and give me a return for them, they can chew on crayons for all anyone should care. Since I have been in the Village the politics have gotten nastier and nastier, it doesn't matter what credentials you have for the office, what matters is what kind of dirt can the party find on you to exploit you, and make you wish you hadn't gotten up in the morning. I can't wait for this election to be over, I want the people that are capable and want to run this village to be elected. I do not want to go to my mailbox and find the Village National Inquirer. The one thing that the Coalition Party has done is not attacked any of the PVP candidates personally. They have attacked the way they have run the Village and that is what I need to see and read, not that someone scratched their nose 4 years ago and someone saw it. What the PVP has done with their campaign is what they do at all the Village Meetings, not respect the residents that elected them to that office and not respect that we are informed, smart and want what is best for the Village. Stop the mud slinging, stop the negativity, vote for the Coalition Party, vote for people that respect the feelings of the residents, vote for honesty and integrity, Vote Coalition

Wedding Tips You Will Thank Us For Later
Downtown Vegas Chapel - Inexpensive Weddings Las Vegas
Whether you're used to a traditional western culture style or even a little eastern flair, practically every culture in the world unites two people in love through a wedding ceremony. This is one of the most important things you'll ever do in your life, so it's vital that you leave no stone unturned when planning your special day. The tips in this article will help you plan your wedding.
Weddings are one of the more difficult things to plan during the course of your life. Make sure that before your wedding, you are extremely organized so you are in a great position when it comes time to decide on certain questions. This will give you the best opportunity for success.
As you plan your wedding, you must consider the type and amount of alcohol you wish to serve, especially if you're working with a budget. If you have an open bar that is available for long intervals of time, the bill can run up really hard really fast. See what other serving options are available for your alcohol.
When planning for your wedding, the time of day could greatly affect your cost. If you are having an evening wedding, you will have to serve dinner which costs more than serving your guests lunch. If you serve alcohol, more people will drink heavily in the evening than they would at lunch time.
Wedding bands are a vital part of the wedding, as they help to signify the joining of two parties. Make sure that on the days leading up to the wedding and on the wedding itself to have someone who you can count on keep track of your wedding bands to ensure security.
An important component to your wedding is the invitations that you send out to your guests. Make sure that you make these as elegant as possible, as you want the invitations to represent how people see you and your future husband. Quality invitations will help to garner respect for your wedding.
Take the time to plan all aspects of your wedding, including food, seating, schedules and who is responsible for overseeing each of these, so there won't be unpleasant surprises. You want to make sure that every person who is sharing in your special day has as wonderful a time as you do.
If you are having a reception at a venue that doesn't supply the decor, you'll have to pick up the napkins and tablecloths yourself. I wouldn't recommend going with plastic, so instead pick up inexpensive fabric and hem the edges to make it look like a professionally finished product. Do the same for napkins in a matching color.
As was stated in the beginning of the article, the whole wedding process can be a stressful one. Easing that stress can be as easy as learning more about weddings and what goes along with them. The above article gave you crucial advice to help your wedding be flawless and joyous.

Last summer, hubby, kids and I spent a week in the fabulous London. It was the first time for the kids and they enjoyed every minute about that trip!
There are many things I could tell about London and many things I could show but I have to admit that blogging, photographing and being social with hubby and kids was quite challenging for me… and for them. Imagine you are a kid of seven or nine years old, you are starving and tired because you walked the entire morning and you have that delicious bowl of salad in front of your nose, or those tasty sushis saying "eat me, eat me" but you CAN'T because mama wants to take a fancy picture. Or, while you are on the way to finally go to that toys paradise called Hamleys/Harrods and you have to stop every two meters because your mother wants to photograph the beautiful buildings/houses like this one:
well, at some point, it's not funny anymore and you only want to go back to the hotel and watch tv. So, for the sake of everybody and to make good memories we can share over a decade I let my camera in my bag and enjoy the trip AND the company with (almost) my eyes only.
Our hotel was at the end of the Westminster Bridge, we could say hi to Big Ben every single day, kids were delighted.
As a teenager, I went to London every summer for a couple of years. My parents sent me a month in England to improve my English and every time there was a day trip in the City. I had souvenirs of this metropolis as a place with a huge amount of people, a sort of big massa walking in the streets, different cultures, lots of punks and a sense of freedom everywhere. This time, I was impressed by the magnificence of the architecture.
There are countless remarkable buildings, houses, musea with delicate details. What strikes me too is the diversity everywhere and in everything. In people, in architecture like I just mentioned, food, culture. It's like a big world in a small one. Truly amazing but also frustrating to not have more time to discover, observe, learn and connect with locals.
Fortunately, we managed to check the most important points from our bucket list. So, as you had probably already understood, we did go to Harrods. While kids were in awe at the toys floor, with hubby we admired the Art Deco details of the building. Second on the list, was the Serpentine pavilion. Fantastic, truly a delicacy for the eyes. I am so glad and grateful we could see it.
Also on the list, the exposition of the American painter Georgia O'Keeffe at the Tate Modern. This was an highlight of our journey. That building itself is quite impressive, the exposition was very inspiring and when we finished and arrived at the bookshop situated on the last floor, what a surprise with the roof terrace. What a view, what a calm!
When you are in the city like London and your children are fascinated by Dinosaurs and palaeontology in general, where do you go? Yes, you got it! You go to the Natural History Museum. You make sure you arrive half an hour before the opening so you can have the museum (almost) all for yourself but more important you do not stand in the line for two/three hours!! And of course, as expected, we totally fell in love with that museum. With the building itself, with its garden and with its absolutely huge collection. We stayed there a couple of hours and when we went outside it was with a crying nine years old boy who did not want to leave the place because it is "oh so beautiful".
And last but not least, we went to the Harry Potter's movie studio. It's situated about an hour riding in bus but it is definitely worth the ride. The moment you enter in it, you ARE literally in the world of Potter. Everything is there and everything is explained, from costumes making to special effects.
So, it's pretty clear I guess that we had a blast. One week there was for sure only an appetizer; kids, hubby and I can't wait to go back to London and continue our journey there.
May you all have a blissful day.
ps: and yes, we went to Buckingham Palace 🙂

NLC Conference: Two Zones Protest Partial Delegates Allocation
LABOUR unions in the South East and South South Zones yesterday staged a protest march in Umuahia to vent their anger against what they called alleged moves to marginalise them in the allocation of delegates to the 11th National Delegates Conference rescheduled to hold on March 12.
The protesters expressed dismay at the way delegates were allocated in the botched conference and the poise to repeat it.
Speaking on the crisis, Comrade Chris Okoro, said the protest was informed by what happened to them at the National Delegates Conference, where the allocation of delegates was tailored in favour of the North."
He accused the NLC national leadership led by Comrade Abdulwaheed Umar of purposely ensuring that the South South and South East Zones of the union were disadvantaged as a way of frustrating Joe Ajaero, who is contesting for NLC top job.
According to Okoro, who is the chairman of the Abia State Chapter of Public Service Negotiating Council, it was wrong to give preference to the North in the allocation of delegates. He described the decision as a grand design to install Comrade Ayuba Wabba as the next NLC president.
Okoro said out of the 525 delegates produced by the Medical and Health Workers Union, only five delegates were allocated to the entire South East, representing one from each state.
While the Civil Service Union of Abia State was given just one delegate out of the expected 12 from the overall 40 delegates allocated to the union.
Okoro stated that the rescheduled conference will not hold and that there would be crisis, if any attempt to manipulate the allocation of delegates is observed.
Also, the state chairman of Medical and Health Workers, Comrade Uchenna Ezekiel, noted that even after his union had paid N2 million check-off dues, it was allocated only a delegate vowing, saying such gross manipulation of the electoral process would no longer be tolerated in the union.

Brother and sister windsurfing duo, Guy and Ruby Owen, both attended the National Junior Windsurfing Championships in September – together with 12 other local windsurfers.
The pair were competing for their club, Axbridge Animals, who train at Cheddar reservoir. The club has some very talented young windsurfers and as a team they managed to win (for the second year in a row) the National Championship Cup for windsurfing, beating eight other clubs from across the country. Only the best clubs, having qualified in their regions, attend the national championships, so this is a huge achievement for Ruby and Guy's local club.
Individually, Ruby was 6th overall in her sail class (5.8) and Guy was 5th overall in his class (6.8). Their work during the summer months is something to be very proud of – putting in many many hours on the water – it's good to see that it has paid off in the end.
Secondly, the Owen family have just received news that Guy has been selected to join the RYA UK junior squad for (Techno) windsurfing. He will be selected to join this national junior squad (all aged 12 to 16). To gain this opportunity, the individual has to attend numerous events around the country, compete and be ranked among the top in their respective fleet. Fortunately, Guy has been able to this and he starts training at Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy (WPNSA) in November.
Well done Guy and Ruby!

Bolstering the wave of anti-Islam and anti-immigration sentiment flooding streets and tweets, another terror attack was committed in London. With every terrorist incident, the feeling of hopelessness can be overwhelming.
Anti-Immigration Is Short Sighted And Wont Work
Nationalist anti-immigrationists have only one solution to this issue. Stop all immigration. Stop Muslim people from entering into all traditionally dominant white European countries. But this is short sighted, and leaves no room for the predominantly well functioning, integrated society we exist in most of the time.
This is not to say that incredible numbers of refugees isn't a problem – it is. Italy in the first three months of 2017 has had more illegal immigrants reaching their shores, or dying in the Mediterranean on the way, than in all of 2016. This is a desperate situation for all – but there is still a way out.
How Did We Get Here?
After WWII, Americans and the world were so horrified by what they found in internment camps throughout Europe, that people felt as if they "could not let this happen again." Fascism and Communism were correctly looked at as a poison to be annihilated where it stands. Combined with a burgeoning economy and a wealth well beyond all developing nations, America innocently took an interventionist stance in the world.
With money to be made over the next few decades, the Military Industrial Complex Eisenhower warned us of has come to be. America and the West is now known more for vainly attempting to topple controversial leaders or killing civilians with errant missiles and drones – than anything else. Of course, this does not comprise the incredible complexity that is out of the scope of this article.
What can we do?
The notion of dispossession can be misleading. People generally do not want to migrate. So why do they come? Again, this is oversimplified, but (with exceptions) it's because their current situation, whatever it may be, leaves them no choice.
Start With Policy Overhaul
- Stop supporting regimes that terrorize their citizens. Particularly when your public stance contradicts actions. Think weapons sales to Saudi Arabia.
- Becomes militarily isolationist. There are a few exceptions.
- Military interventions are of last resort and the steps leading to it are fully transparent to Americans and the world. Ponder a citizens frustration over public lies that led to Iraq 2003.
- Develop clear withdrawal plans and stick to them. Think of the hypocrisy and frustration around Afghanistan and Obama.
- Most importantly, begin all interventions with humanitarian support and shelter, and be articulate about it.
- Use this same technique when trying to thwart a rogue leaders' nefarious intent. Always side with the suffering first. Again, not with arming of insurgents, (history shows insurgencies tend to stray from the original albeit virtuous intent) but with aid and shelter from harm for those who cannot get out of the way.
This short list (notably over-simplified for such a complex issue) would reduce terrorist attacks dramatically, simultaneously appeasing anti-immigrationists – for when countries are stable, people don't leave. I am acutely aware that this may come across as pacifist and isolationist, is there a better way?

The Value of Systems in Lawyer Marketing
One of the areas that can literally make or break a law firm is the systems designed to keep things running. Too often lawyers complain to me about time they cannot afford to spend on tasks like updating a database or sending out pitch letters to develop speaking opportunities.
Investing time in developing good systems is critical to creating a culture of continuous improvement.
Why You Need Systems in Lawyer Marketing
Systems play a critical role in lawyer marketing and law firm management. Today we are going to focus on the value of those systems in your day-to-day marketing activities.
As a lawyer you probably spend the majority of your time working on the practice of law. Although you may believe this is the place where money is generated, that is only partially true. Clients must first be attracted to your law firm and then you must establish relationships with them.
This means you must focus a portion of your time on the processes of relationship development and client attraction – lawyer marketing.
You must also spend a portion of your time on practice management. This includes things like ordering supplies, administering payroll, handling accounts payable and accounts receivable.
All of these things take time. Time you do not often have to spare.
Creating systems will help you get everything done and make sure things are done correctly.
Systems will also help you train other people to do these tasks in the future.
How to Set Up a System
Identify the Ideal Outcome: The first step in building a system is identifying the ideal outcome for this particular situation. This means giving some thought to what you want to achieve as an end result.When we talk about systems related to lawyer marketing, an end goal could be something as simple as attract 30 new prospective clients and add them to our database.
Take Action: The next step in the process is to take some form of action you believe will help your law firm advance aggressively toward that end goal. In the example of adding 30 people to the prospective client database, you would take the actions of:
Identifying a group to whom you could give a speech
Researching the membership of the group to make sure it contained your ideal clients
Investigating the leadership of the group to determine the who you should target to pitch your speech
Writing a pitch letter
Mailing the letter
Writing a script for a follow-up telephone call
Making the call
Scheduling periodic follow-up after leaving a message or speaking with the decision-maker
Record the Action: The next step is to record the actions you have taken. This must be done in real time. This means you should be writing down what you are doing as you are doing it. This is important because it will help you capture some of the seemingly minor activities that may make all the difference.Observe the Result: At this point you need to take stock of the results. Record the success you achieved and record any events that were less than successful.Adjustment: Make any adjustments necessary. This means change the message or change the audience or change the delivery system. But only change one thing at a time. Changing multiple aspects of any system at one time will make it difficult to determine what works and what doesn't. If you change one thing at a time, you will be able to tweak your activity and determine what is contributing to your success and what is not.Observe the result: Once again you must observe the results. This allows you to continuously make adjustments and improvements to your system.Teach Someone Else: At this point you will have a workable system in place that will deliver results. This is the time to teach someone else to run your system. This takes the burden off of you. In addition, the fresh eyes of a new player in the mix will help surface improvements you might not have seen because you were too close to the process.Supervise the Activity and the Results: This is not the time to run away and hide. Even though you have delegated the authority to complete this task to someone else, you have not abdicated responsibility. You must continue to watch over the activity until you are comfortable it can be performed to the level of proficiency expected. Remember, we are striving for progress. Perfection may or may not follow.Identify "Choke Points:" With every system there are certain critical points when things tend to break down. Since you have experience in working within this particular system, you will be able to predict where these points occur. These are called "choke points" and they are the first place you look when something goes wrong. You should also teach the person handling the tasks within the system to recognize and anticipate choke points and avoid the pitfalls inherent in them.Create a Dashboard with Results Compared to Goals: As part of your follow-up, you should develop a dashboard with metrics that help you know if your law firm marketing is on track toward meeting its goals. Things like: number of leads, conversion rate, return on investment and closing ratio should all be reviewed on a system by system basis. This means if you have separate systems for speaking, writing articles for trade journals, and networking, you should have metrics associated with each of them.
Advanced Systematization
If you want to be certain your business will continue to grow, you can teach your team the process I outlined above. Once a few members of the team become masters at developing and recording systems, your law firm will grow rapidly without your day-to-day involvement.
You will always need to review the dashboard metrics you have in place and your knowledge of the choke points is critical to helping you diagnose any issues that may arise. But creating a culture of continuous improvement based upon systematization is a big step toward making a great living and living a great life ®.

December 8th, 2011
Thinking Ergonomix have become somewhat of a fixture at London's FX International Interior Design Awards, further solidifying their design credentials at this year's ceremony on 29 November.
The FX Design Awards bring together design talent from the UK and around the globe, recognising the best in interior products and projects.
The CASINO mobile storage range was named a finalist in the Office Furniture category at the 2011 Awards in recognition of its standout design and functionality.
This follows Thinking Ergonomix's win last year in the Workplace System Furniture category for their EONA table range.
The judges praised CASINO for its well thought out design, bringing new elements to a standard piece of office furniture. CASINO has a fully moulded and integrated seat pad, graphics on the side for branding or way finding, soft close drawer runners and an integrated handle on the larger caddy version for ease of movement. CASINO is available in a 2 drawer and 3 drawer mobile pedestal, as well as a tambour door caddy.
Most importantly, CASINO continues Thinking Ergonomix's Corporate and Social Responsibility program. Sheet metal off-cuts from the CASINO frame are used to make baking trays, which are then donated to families in need.

Groups Push for Photoshop Warning Labels on Pics of Celebs
(NEW YORK) -- Magazine advertisements for alcohol and cigarettes come with warning labels. Now, some groups suggest that the celebrity photos should, too.
A number of researchers and government regulators want photographs of movie stars and models to come with warnings that say the photos have been extensively altered with retouching software, such as Adobe Photoshop.
The idea stems from scientific research that found that vulnerable consumers, particularly children and teens, might be fooled by the photos' convincing illusions of perfection and suffer negative physical and mental health consequences as a result.
"Children and teens are particularly vulnerable to 'perfect' models of adults and children their age in the media," said Carolyn Landis, a clinical psychologist at Rainbow Babies and Children's Hospital in Cleveland.
So far, the most notable calls for Photoshop warning labels have come from Europe. Legislators in France, Britain and Norway have supported government efforts to slap warning labels on photos to alert consumers when they have been digitally altered.
But in June, the American Medical Association denounced the doctoring of photographs, urging advertisers to work with child and teen health experts to set limits on Photoshopping. Two Dartmouth researchers have come up with a novel solution -- a software tool that would detect how much fashion and beauty photographs have been altered, assigning them a rating from one (minimally altered) to five (starkly changed) -- that was reported in The New York Times.
Calls to several fashion and beauty magazines about their policies on retouching photographs or their thoughts on photo warning labels were not immediately returned.
Research indicates that there is cause for worry about how celebrities and models, who appear forever trim and blemish-free, may affect how children view their own bodies. Several studies have linked manipulated photographs to eating disorders and other health problems.
But child psychologists say the most effective solution to helping children develop healthy and realistic body images comes not from warning labels and photo rating systems but from active parenting.

Why should early teens not give out any personal information online?
I would like to say that I think teens can give their personal details out on line if they have asked the adults in their life if it is all right. I think we must also distinguish between ages here a 13 year old giving their information out is different to a 18 year old who needs to speak to someone about a job for example. So it's not that they shouldn't, it's that they shouldn't without permission when they are younger or if the person requesting them is asking a reasonable request when they are older.
Giving personal information out to someone they don't know or in circumstances where they are not required could make them vulnerable to many things including scams, fraud etc:
Yes there are clearly the "danger" that it could make them vulnerable to attack – if they let someone know where they live or what school them go to but these are exceptional.
I just think often we don't talk about the more likely things that could go wrong.
How can girls spot an online groomer?
To be honest you can't and it's that simple. There are things you could do for example ask who they know that you know etc: but you can never tell and most are so good at what they do it is hard to tell. If you are been asked to do something that you are uncomfortable with on-line that would be a sure sign that perhaps something wasn't right and you needed to protect yourself.
What should you do if someone who you met online wants to meet up with you?
My first reaction is just don't do it but I am well aware that most young people do meet boyfriends and girlfriends this way and everything is fine. If you are able speak to your parents or an adult as their judgment may be helpful to you. If you do want to meet them and you know they are who they say they are, suggest you meet in a crowded place and take a friend with you. Always make sure your phone is charged and that someone else knows where you are. Also don't assume just because you met them once all will be fie the next time. Suggest meeting like this a few times until you trust them and then perhaps invite that person to your house.
I know a lot of people say never meet however I think this advice doesn't help a teen if they believes and trust this person. I think we also need to be giving them a plan, they should discuss it with friends and family often others opinions and judgement really help them make a decisions.

Mumbai more expensive than Seattle and Canberra
Hong Kong tops the list of most expensive cities for expatriates to live in, followed by Luanda in Angola. Among Indian cities, Mumbai ranks highest at 82 and Delhi follows at rank 130, says a surveyreal estate Updated: Jun 25, 2016 18:07 IST
While Hong Kong tops the list of most expensive cities for expatriates, pushing Luanda, Angola to second position, Mumbai, ranked 82, is the most expensive city in India, followed by New Delhi, ranked 130, Chennai (158), Kolkata (194) and Bengaluru (180).
Mumbai is ranked higher and is more expensive than cities like Seattle (83), Frankfurt (88), Canberra (98), Berlin (100) and Istanbul (101) globally, according to Mercer's 2016 Cost of Living Survey.
New Delhi and Bengaluru have become more expensive over last year, and their rankings have gone up. Bengaluru has witnessed the highest jump in ranking, on account of a surge in prices, especially on items pertaining to food and personal care. Inflation, amongst the highest in Indian cities, moved from 3.27% to 6.08%, during this period, in Bengaluru.
An increase has also been reported in the prices of cheese, poultry and coffee across price ranges. At the higher price range, items such as butter, mineral water and ice cream have increased drastically. High taxi fares, cost of auto and auto parts as well as running costs pushed up Bengaluru's ranking, the report said.
"Despite volatile global markets and growing security issues, organisations continue to leverage global expansion strategies to remain competitive and to grow. With a large number of Indian multinational organisations progressively expanding their footprint abroad, 70% of them are expecting expatriate assignments to increase over the next two years to address business needs as well as build careers and leadership development," says Ruchika Pal, India practice leader, global mobility, Mercer.
"Pricing, currency stability, inflation in Indian cities have a direct impact on the cost of expatriation for Indian multinationals. Costs of goods and services shift with inflation and currency volatility, in home and host cities, making overseas assignment costs sometimes greater and sometimes smaller." adds Pal.
According to Mercer, 85% of the companies in India pay a cost of living (COL) allowance to their long-term assignees either as a separately identified allowance or as part of a single expatriate allowance, covering other items in addition to goods and services in the remuneration package. Seventy five percent of these companies determine the COL allowance using an index-based approach – usually the same index is used throughout the assignment for all typical long-term assignments.
Among the most expensive countries in the world, Zurich and Singapore remain in third and fourth positions, respectively, whereas Tokyo is in fifth, up six places from last year. Other cities appearing in the top 10 of Mercer's costliest cities for expatriates are Shanghai (7), Geneva (8), N'Djamena (9), and Beijing (10). The world's least expensive cities for expatriates, according to Mercer's survey, are Windhoek (209), Cape Town (208), and Bishkek (207).
Mercer's widely recognised survey is one of the world's most comprehensive, and is designed to help multinational companies and governments determine compensation strategies for their expatriate employees. New York City is used as the base city for all comparisons and currency movements are measured against the US dollar.
The survey includes over 375 cities throughout the world; this year's ranking includes 209 cities across five continents and measures the comparative cost of more than 200 items in each location, including housing, transportation, food, clothing, household goods, and entertainment.
Mercer's 22nd annual Cost of Living Survey finds that factors including currency fluctuations, cost inflation for goods and services, and instability of accommodation prices, contribute to the cost of expatriate packages for employees on international assignments.
Across continents, countries with the highest current number of India assignees are the United States, United Kingdom and United Arab Emirates (UAE). Across continents, countries with the highest expected increase in the number of Indian international assignees are UAE, UK and Kenya.
Cities in the United States have climbed in the ranking due to the strength of the US dollar against other major currencies, in addition to the significant drop of cities in other regions which resulted in US cities being pushed up the list. This has had a direct impact on the cost of expatriate assignments for Indian multinationals. New York is up five places to rank 11, the highest-ranked city in the region. San Francisco (26) and Los Angeles (27) climbed eleven and nine places, respectively, from last year while Seattle (83) jumped 23 places.
Two European cities are among the top 10 list of most expensive cities. At number three in the global ranking, Zurich remains the most costly European city, followed by Geneva (8), down three spots from last year. The next European city in the ranking, Bern (13), is down four places from last year following the weakening of the Swiss franc against the US dollar.
Tel Aviv (19) continues to be the most expensive city in the Middle East for expatriates, followed by Dubai (21), Abu Dhabi (25), and Beirut (50). Jeddah (121) remains the least expensive city in the region despite rising 30 places.

Generally air quality is good in Eastbourne because of the prevailing westerly winds. However, we are affected by industrial pollution from Northern France, Belgium and Holland when the wind is in the east: you can see the brown smoke haze on the horizon.
It is wrong to single out Eastbourne for specific attention because the air monitoring stations at Willingdon Trees and Lullington Heath are the only ones on this stretch of coast (https://uk-air.defra.gov.uk/networks/find-sites ). The air pollution has nothing to do with vehicles on the road in Eastbourne and making Eastbourne a Clean Air Zone would have no impact.
If we want to reduce this air pollution, we need to continue the dialogue with our European neighbours to reduce their industrial emissions.

Yippee!!!! We've had THREE DAYS IN A ROW now, of sunshine and blue sky! Could it be true... could winter really be over?? I'm hoping so!
Isn't it amazing, how the sun changes peoples' attitudes? I have noticed that everywhere I've been this week, folks are just... happier. And chattier. And more upbeat. Which isn't surprising really, because honestly, who out there enjoys the colorless gloom that late winter brings? I know I don't, that's for sure.
Today I opened up all of the blinds in the house and let the glorious sun shine in! There was a smile on my face as I dozed like a cat on the carpet in the warm sunbeams. Mmmmm!! I look forward to watching the snow melt and seeing some green outside and spending more time out in the fresh spring air! Hooray for winter's end! Yeah!

text: While Gorogoa is one of this year's shortest experiences, it's still one that's worth checking out, as it turns a relatively simple idea into one of the year's most compelling and innovative puzzle games. Its eye-popping artwork may draw you in, but it's the superb brain-teasers where you warp around entire worlds and a narrative that leads to some surreal visuals which will keep you hooked until it ends. You may never look at a mere four comic panels and the storytelling that can potentially occur in them in the same way again.
