A few weeks ago, EFF published its first draft of a Buyer's Guide to E-Book Privacy, which summarized and commented on the privacy-related policies and behaviors of several e-readers. In that first draft we incorporated the actual language of the privacy policies as much as possible, which unfortunately created some confusion since companies generally use different language to address similar issues.

Glenn completed the mental health first aid course with Attleborough-based Rosedale Training. They will be holding courses in Diss in July and September.

“I regularly compete in road races despite my condition, which would not have been possible without the support and friendship of my fellow members,” he said.

“The club has been absolutely fantastic, providing support and advice but most of all encouragement to progress.”

Rosedale director, Anne Beckett-Allen, said: “With at least one in four people affected by a mental health condition at some point, Glenn is an inspiration.”
