Fire Warning!!

Rhonda Neighbourly Lead from Hastings Central

Hi there,
Well, I have a new one for you. My work desk at home is in a lovely sunny spot. Papers sometimes sit in a 'same spot' for a long long time! Because it is is a sunny spot, I have a little mirror on a stand there (great in the sun as I can see what the hang I am doing with … View more
Hi there,
Well, I have a new one for you. My work desk at home is in a lovely sunny spot. Papers sometimes sit in a 'same spot' for a long long time! Because it is is a sunny spot, I have a little mirror on a stand there (great in the sun as I can see what the hang I am doing with those tweesers and mascara!) ... I picked up a little booklet made of paper that has been on the 'to do ' list for far too long and I noticed it had a brown mark...didn't think anything of it, till a few days later I looked at it properly and it is a burn mark!! I looked at it a while, said to my husband, "hey does this look like a burn mark to you?" He said, "Definitely".....hmmmm I thought a while and then I reckon it was the mirror that has two sides possibly tilting with the direct sun on it, and burning the paper. Far fetched?? Dunno but seems to be the only thing that makes any sense...moved mirror to less sunny spot and will bring it out when I need it. ...Imgaine that, fire started my make up mirror!! YIKES. I doubt anyone else has their mirror on their desk, but maybe you have one in the sun... just thought I should let you know so you don''t make my mistake. Great weekend out there, have a good one everyone.

Why should I have to put up with the smell of your large dog's crap for the next week!!! If the wheelie bin was still full and it was waiting to be emptied I have no problem with it as it would have been taken away that same day and I would never have had to see/smell it. I pay for my wheelie bin for my own use, not yours!! If I do ever find out who it was don't worry I will return the favour!! Perhaps think next time as I doubt you would be pleased if someone did the same thing to you!! At least one good thing, you actually picked up your dogs crap unlike other owners walking down Joll rd that just let their dogs crap where ever and leave on other peoples front lawn!!

10 tips to prevent hearing loss

Ear Suction Hawkes Bay

Your hearing is vital for learning, communication and safety yet you may not have thought much about the impact a hearing loss could have on your life. You may think that losing some sound wouldn’t be too bad but those with hearing loss will tell you it can be tiring, lonely and frustrating.

Your hearing is vital for learning, communication and safety yet you may not have thought much about the impact a hearing loss could have on your life. You may think that losing some sound wouldn’t be too bad but those with hearing loss will tell you it can be tiring, lonely and frustrating.

Hearing loss can be caused by many different things. It can happen gradually or quite suddenly. When hearing loss is gradual, it’s very easy to ignore - for a while. Always seek help quickly for any ear problems. Protecting your hearing now will increase your chances of enjoying the sounds you love later in life. Prevention is always better than a cure. And some hearing problems, such as noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL), currently have no cure.

Here are 10 tips to prevent hearing loss:

1. Get help
If you have a sudden severe hearing loss, see a doctor urgently. Also, if you have some hearing loss, and your hearing doesn’t return to normal within two days, see your doctor.

2. Avoid noise damage
Avoid prolonged or repeated exposure to loud noise. Learn more: Noise damage.

3. Avoid loud music
Listen to music at a sensible volume. Don’t have the volume up too loud for long periods, especially on a personal music player with headphones/ear buds.

4. Use protective gear
Always wear safety-approved earplugs or earmuffs when mowing the lawn, using power tools, shooting a gun or in any noisy environment.

5. Act on ear infections
If you or your child has an earache, see the doctor. Earaches are often a sign of an ear infection which, if not treated, can lead to hearing loss. Keep a careful eye on children up to age 10 as they are more likely to have middle ear problems.

6. Avoid foreign objects
Don’t put foreign objects into your ear canal. The wax in your ear canal will make its own way to your outer ear. You can clean your outer ear with a warm flannel, or have the wax removed by your doctor.

7. Avoid cotton wool
Don’t use cotton wool instead of earplugs. Cotton wool offers no hearing protection at all. It can also damage the ear if pushed too far in.

8. Use protection for water sports
During high-speed water sports like water skiing, wear a swim cap or approved swimmer’s earplugs.

9. Dive carefully
Too much change in air pressure while scuba diving can cause inner ear damage, dizziness and hearing loss. Equalise regularly during descent. If you are having difficulties seek professional advice before you dive again.

10. Avoid air travel with a heavy cold
In a plane, your ears may be unable to clear during changes in air pressure, which could lead to a ruptured eardrum or inner ear damage.

ACC Minister Hon. Iain Lees-Galloway recently swapped his suit for shorts and a tee to join a ‘Live Stronger for Longer’ strength and balance class. These classes help us as we age to retain lower body and core strength, remaining active to avoid falls.

No-one is bullet proof, falls happen and some can result in broken bones, pain and long healing times and can also make us fearful of falling again. Losing confidence can really affect quality of life.
