WHAT THIS INVOLVES:
During your visit, you will first undergo a 45min abdominal MRI scan to assess your pancreas. This will take place at CAMRI (Centre for Advanced MRI); once completed you will receive a CD with your images. Then we will proceed to our COSMOS Clinic for metabolism testing:
• A small plastic cannula will be inserted in your arm for sequential blood collection
• Your HbA1c, fasting blood glucose, lipid profile, and insulin levels will be measured
• You will then be asked to have a vanilla flavoured nutrient drink every 15min; following each drink we will collect blood samples to run further tests to monitor your glucose metabolism.
• You will also be required to complete a few questionnaires.
All the above tests will be conducted at NO CHARGE to you.
The entire visit will take no more than 3 hours and we will be reimburse you with a $40.00 petrol voucher for your time and participation
Please note: You are required to come fasting – nothing to eat/drink for the previous 8 hours; water is fine and highly recommended as it aids blood collection.
LOCATION and PARKING:
The Centre for Advanced MRI is located within the University Of Auckland School of Medicine, opposite to Auckland City Hospital; underground parking is available – access from Boyle Crescent.

PMP Limited is now the company taking over the paper run as well as their own junk mail or advertising. I received a letter from Western Leader or Stuff (what it is called now) saying now that PMP Limited will now take over the distribution of paper now. The last paper delivery will be the October the 11th and you will get your last pay on the 17th October including annual pay.
Stewart Hopper has written a post here about Kids losing their Jobs for Western Leader. Obviously I'm no kid. I'm in my 30's so to speak. Now I understand that we are living in digital age where information is going more online on Ipads, laptops etc but the older people still like to get a paper and I am meaning the elderly. I wonder what's going to happen to these folk who will still like to get a paper every week?
I think there will be complaints about papers not being delivered. This is just my own personal opinion. You can't just cancel the paper deliveries and transfer the newspapers to another company and everything will be "hunky dory" so to speak. If anyone is still doing the Western Leader or any of the other runs like the North Shore times or others, let me know about this. It will effect every Aucklander who has being doing a paper run in their areas.

Hi Everyone, this is Matt here. I am going to make a post about plastic bottles and plastic and how we as kiwis can use plastic for our own advantage. I am just going to leave some youtube links in this description box above so that we could follow suit so that we can have ourselves a clean greener planet we call Earth.
Check these out plus many more on youtube. It's time to think outside the box with our recycling.
