"Many of you have heard me speak about the way he urged us all to follow the way he pointed at, which is the way to achieve a better society," said Burton. "The way to put aside the obstacles, if you find in life, of prejudice and hatred is... (quoting Max) `to set a better example.'" Burton and Town council were delighted to recognize the contributions the councillor made in his "short, brilliant life," he said, by designating the Max Khan Boulevard, in north Oakville, earlier this year. "It's a marker we've put down so that everyone who goes by will see Max Khan Boulevard. If they didn't hear about him, they will wonder who he was and perhaps be motivated to find out, to learn more about the example he set," said Burton. Khan preached a type of inclusive community that is the "essence of Oakville," Burton said. "The essence of that is the way we reach out to each other when we don't know somebody and we introduce ourselves, we welcome people, we get to know our neighbours. Our kids know which house on the street to go to if they need help," said Burton. What began as a NDP private members' bill, introduced by Armstrong, the act to mark Islamic Heritage Month was unanimously passed by the Ontario legislature. Armstrong said recognizing Islamic heritage is an important part of Ontario, to ensure "we all feel accepted and open and we promote the Now Open!

"I was extremely proud to be the one to be selected as the Citizenship and Immigration Critic to bring forward the bill. I have a very strong community in London and I've been part of that community since 2011," said Armstrong. She said the bill is the first step to eliminating Islamophobia, as her hope is to combat ignorance and hatred and promote acceptance, openness and "love for each other." "We have a lot of work to do for next year's October Islamic Heritage Month to make sure we let everybody know the wonderful contributions you have made to the fabric of our province and country," said Armstrong. Sajid Anjum, Dar Foundation political coordinator, praised the NDP for getting the bill passed and saluted Burton and Oakville MP John Oliver for promoting Islamic heritage locally. Good hearing but trouble with conversation? A lot of people have trouble catching what people say, especially in group situations, despite having good hearing. What a lot of people don't know is that this may be caused by damage to the so-called motor or amplifier function of special cells in the ear. A new type of hearing aid can help balance this out. A great many people have difficulty hearing others clearly on a daily basis. Bad acoustics, unclear pronunciation, background noise and music often make it challenging to catch what people say. This results in them having to repeatedly ask questions, straining to hear and perhaps increasingly avoiding discussions in large groups. As mentioned earlier, this may be caused by malfunctions in special cells in the ear. According to a theory proposed by hearing researchers, "motor cells" are a type of hair cell responsible for amplifying quiet sounds. They vibrate up to 20,000 times per second. If these hair cells do not work properly then quiet sounds are no longer naturally This improvement in hearing can be achieved for some clients through the new Phonak Audéo V's hearing aids. This cutting-edge hearing technology comes in a miniature casing that can significantly enhance the user's ability to hear speech in company. The hearing aids attune to the person you are speaking to and can also recognize if ambient noise increases in the background. Hearing sensation! Swiss researchers: Audéo V is superior for conversation. Hair cells in the ear move very rapidly and can act as an amplifier or dampener. If these cells are damaged, they can no longer properly amplify speech and dampen loud noises. amplified in the ear and loud sounds no longer dampened. This leads to more difficulty in hearing what is said in a lot of situations. If the hair cells have been damaged by noise or blood circulation problems, hearing aids that amplify quiet speech and dampen loud ambient noise can be a good solution for most people.
