Service Animals
A Therapy Dog is a kind of service animal – an animal that helps people. The most common service animal is a seeing eye dog. A seeing eye dog helps blind people. However, dogs help people in many other ways. Hearing ear dogs help people with hearing problems. These dogs listen for specific noises, such as a fire alarm. When the dog hears the sound, the dog touches the owner. However, if it’s an emergency, the dog may pull the owner out of danger. Usually small dogs are hearing ear dogs because they are easy to care for. Wheelchair assistance dogs are much larger because the dog’s main job is pulling the wheelchair. These dogs also open doors and get items for their owners, such as magazines.

And Now, Robodoc!
A robot in California performs its first invasive surgery on a human patient.
Medical robots in the U.S. have been used to locate hard-to-find tumors and guide a surgeon’s scalpel, but have never actually performed surgery on people. Now that line has been crossed. At Sutter General Hospital in Sacramento, California, a 90-kg machine called Robodoc has operated on its first human patient: a 64-year-old man with a bad hip.
The robot played a key role in a total hip replacement, one of 500,000 such operations performed each year. The trick in these procedures is to create a snug hole into which the artificial hip snaps. The standard method is to jam a cutting tool into the thighbone with a handheld mallet. Robodoc, using the high-speed drill at the end of its mechanical arm, can ream a cavity that is 20 times as precise.
Robosurgery doesn’t have to stop at the hip. In Europe, where officials are less squeamish about such things, robots have assisted in operations on the brain, the prostate and the inner ear.

The Pilot's Advice
- Daytime. South America. Overcast. Good Visibility.
On approaching the buoyed deep water channel which led to the breakwater at the entrance to the port, I was in radio contact with the pilot launch, who reported that he was taking a pilot to a vessel anchored further out before bringing us our pilot. On receipt of this information I slowed to a speed to give bare steerage way. Eventually, however, we arrived at the buoyed channel before the pilot launch had returned to us, therefore, I altered course to proceed up the buoyed channel with still minimum power to counteract the cross-tide effect. Once the pilot boarded he ordered "Full Ahead" and moved into the centre of the channel. By this time the other vessel entering the port was close astern of us and rapidly overtaking our vessel. There then developed an intense discussion in the local language between my pilot and the pilot of the overtaking vessel as to who should pass through the breakwater first. Following this discussion my pilot advised me that as we were proceeding further up the harbor we should enter first and so we should maintain full speed. By this time the other vessel's bow was level with our stern and still overhauling us rapidly.
The situation was allowed by both pilots to develop until the bows were level. I was conning my vessel from the bridge front auxiliary tiller and could feel the intense interaction between the two vessels, I insisted to my pilot that we should reduce speed and allow the other vessel to proceed ahead of us. At this time the pilot of the other vessel stated clearly that my vessel should enter the breakwater first and that he had put his vessel on slow speed, we were then no more than 3 cables from the breakwater. The other vessel dropped rapidly astern and a dangerous situation was averted.
I think this was a case of the "Senior" pilot on the other vessel bullying the pilot on our vessel and so causing a hazardous and highly unnecessary situation.
