Our World famous Route 66 motorcycle tour travels the original Route 66, known as the “Mainstreet of America” or “Mother Road”, is 2400 miles long from Chicago to Los Angeles, crosses three time zones and 8 States: Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California. Route 66 has been the path of migrants, dreamers, desperadoes and an entire generation of vacationers discovering the way west. The 1950’s were the Route 66 glory days, when thousands of cars rode bumper to bumper behind each other to experience the Western frontier. Hotels, motels, gas stations, classic restaurants, and the “New” America sprang up everywhere. Much of Route 66’s classic roads, restaurants, gas stations, and nostalgic landmarks are preserved just as they were in the 1950’s. The famous and nostalgic Route 66 is the road created in heaven for motorcycle touring. Simply stated, this is the guided tour of America!
Welcome to the Windy City! Nicknamed the ‘Paris of the Prairie’, Chicago is the biggest and most exciting of the Great Lake cities. It includes a stunning skyline along Lake Michigan, and a gamut of top-rated museums, restaurants and cafes, and innumerable bars and nightclubs that pay homage to the city’s strong jazz and blues heritage. Tonight you will get to meet your fellow riders and Tour Guides at an Orientation Meeting at the tour hotel, followed by a great Welcome Dinner and celebration downtown. Your dream Route 66 journey is about to begin!
This morning you pick up your bike and are off to the ultimate American road trip. The legendary Route 66 begins at the doorstep of our EagleRider location, cutting through the state of Illinois before running all the way to the Pacific Coast. From Chicago you head south along the Pontiac Trail, the original name for this bit of the road here, passing through Joliet, checking out the Launching Pad Giant, stopping at the amazing RT 66 Museum in Pontiac and generally getting a feel for the rubber on the Mother Road.
Try to get up early to walk across the street today and enjoy an early morning view of the St. Louis Arch and Mississippi River before we hit the road. We quickly leave the city in mirrors as we settle in to enjoy the rolling Missouri hills that make this area so beautiful and fun to ride in. We will stop and see the famous World’s Largest Rocking Chair in Fanning, wind our way on the twisting roads of Devil’s Elbow! We will stop to meet Gary’s daughter Barbara at Gay Parita’s a Route 66 icon. Tonight we will enjoy a stay in Joplin, a city that was hit very hard in 2011 by a massive tornado. We’ll hang with the locals in the small downtown area and hear some amazing stories about what it was like to be in the eye of a massive tornado!
Today is all about the ride! From Joplin we head west through the rolling hills and horse country that is Oklahoma, passing through the towns of Miami, Claremore and Catoosa, where the legendary Blue Whale resides, and stopping for lunch in a Tulsa diner. We will also pass through the lands of several Native American tribes. In the 1830’s all this land, held to be useless by the Federal Government, was set aside as Indian Territory–a convenient dumping ground for the tribes that “blocked” white settlement in the southern states. The Choctaw, Chickasaw, Seminole, Creek and Cherokee are some of the tribes that make up the state’s large Native American Indian population. Further west you ride through El Reno – over the mile-long bridge, near Bridgeport and into Oklahoma City, the heart and soul of Route 66 country.
This morning we travel along some of the oldest stretches of Oklahoma’s Route 66. Once the land of vast buffalo herds, this section of 66 traverses some of the great cattle trails which were used in the 1860s to drive herds of cattle from Texas up to the railhead in Abilene, Kansas. We will ride along a section of the Chisholm Trial, which passes through Yukon and El Reno, and stop at the amazing Route 66 Museum in Clinton. After lunch we cross the border into the Texas Panhandle, the southernmost portion of the Great Plains. Our good friends from “The Big Texan Steakhouse” will pick our group up at the hotel in a fleet of old Caddies graced with the horns of Texas Longhorns across the hood and take us to enjoy the absolute best steaks in Texas!
Today you leave Texas and are on your way into “The Land of Enchantment”, New Mexico – after passing through the world famous Cadillac Ranch. How about the ghost town of Glen Rio, where you can stand with one foot in New Mexico and the other one in Texas? From there we enter the land the Comanche Indians, where mesas, mountains, cactus and pines define the landscape as head up into the High Plains and altitude of Santa Fe in central New Mexico. Santa Fe is one of America’s oldest and most beautiful cities!

Ashgrove Nursery School Newtownabbey is a ‘stand-alone’ building, opened in 1980. It currently caters for 78 children in their pre-school year, funded by the Department of Education.
Our children transfer to a number of Primary Schools in the locality.
We recognise that childhood is a stage of life in its own right to be enjoyed. There is a natural curiosity, sense of wonder and amazement in each child and its our goal to provide a loving, caring environment, complementing a wide variety of well-planned activities to ensure that each child is exposed to optimum development.
Whilst we very much encourage our children to become independent learners, we believe that informed adult participation also enables a child to learn more extensively from their experiences and lays firm foundations for later learning.
Children attend Monday to Friday each week.
The vital links with home will be supported and strengthened as we build on the experiences the child brings from home to school in partnership with parents.
Here at Ashgrove Nursery School Newtownabbey, we aim to provide exciting and stimulating learning opportunities for all children from the wider community of Newtownabbey. The basis of our curriculum is that childhood is there to be enjoyed and that Nursery should be fun!
Nursery places are at a premium and as such, early intention of interest is recommended.
The care and welfare of the children at Ashgrove Nursery School is a key priority for Staff throughout the whole learning environment.
We have two classrooms and two quiet room areas, both set a climate of purposeful learning.
Parents’ area where reference books, policies and information leaflets can be accessed.
Real, natural and commercial resources are used to support learning in meaningful ways.
The children at Ashgrove Nursery School get to grips with technology to support all of their active learning experiences where relevant.

10 years ago today I embarked on the total unknown I started D&L Drivers Solutions Ltd which is now known as D&L Haulage (Dorset) limited after a bad Business partnership turned sour.
I left behind the Business and my very own Rocky Truck (which I now have back) and walked away with nothing only my dignity and the love of my family but I kept my sights set on what I wanted to accomplish.
I have made friends and I have drifted away from so called friends but I can clearly say that Guy Morgan and Mike Simpson have had a massive input into D&L for most of our time in Business and I could not of achieved what we have without both of your support you each have different quality’s but very much appreciated.
Also D&L has got some amazing drivers/personnel and I know sometimes I don’t talk to you all as I should but I want you all to know myself and Laura really do appreciate you all as you work so hard for D&L and this needs to be mentioned as you all mean a lot to us so here’s to the next ten years.
D&L Haulage now run 17 trucks and walking floor trailers and is a very successful Business and we will hopefully be running a lot more in the future to come.
As with all highs you get the lows and we have also lost a few so called friends along the way but that’s life and think they were not real friends to begin with.

2K and Gearbox Software today announced that Battleborn, the new first-person shooter from the creators of Borderlands, will be available worldwide on February 9, 2016 for the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, Xbox One, and Windows PC. An open beta will be held prior to the release of the game and more details about the public test will be shared later this year. Additionally, today the companies revealed four new playable heroes at Gamescom, including Ambra, Mellka, Reyna, and Benedict.
Set in the distant future, Battleborn is a first-person shooter featuring 25 unique playable heroes who form an unlikely alliance to save the last star in the universe from a mysterious enemy hell-bent on its destruction. Battleborn’s narrative-driven story mode can be played alone or co-operatively by up to five friends splitscreen* and online. The game’s three different competitive multiplayer modes can be played by up to 10 players online in action-packed 5v5 matches. Regardless of the mode being played, players will experience deep and customizable character growth for all 25 playable heroes.
Ambra: Born into an ancient order of priestesses responsible for discovering a way to prolong life indefinitely, Ambra was betrayed by her leader and her faction, the Jennerit Empire, and now fights alongside the Battleborn. She is a specialist hero, dealing damage up close through her melee attacks and powerful abilities, while healing her allies in the process.
Mellka: A stealthy assassin, Mellka lost her parents at a young age before eventually earning her place among the Eldrid’s black op’s and intelligence bureau. Her life has been defined by a series of staggering losses, but her response to these losses was never despair – it was fury. She strikes quickly, disorienting foes with her nerve gas machine pistol and bio-glaive melee attacks.
Reyna: Known by her followers as “The Valkyrie,” Reyna was born aboard the Rogue faction’s ailing junk heap of a flagship and is a native to the last star system. Reyna has fought tirelessly for the freedom of her space pirate comrades, finding her calling as their inspirational leader. She dishes damage with her laser pistol and uses her command glove to support her teammates.
Benedict: August Benedict Jr. is one of several surviving races of bird-like “Aviant” refugees. He swore allegiance to the Peacekeepers where he’s gained considerable notoriety for being a self-centered jerk that’s capable of astounding destruction with his rocket launcher. Double jumping, rocket jumping, and flying – Benedict’s good at all of them and he lets his teammates know it.
For in-depth information on each of the new playable heroes, including their complete backstories and full list of abilities, visit the official Battleborn blog. *Battleborn supports 2-player splitscreen and can connect with other splitscreen or solo players online to create a full 5-player party.
Wizards of the Coast have announced today details for its new Wizard Creator Program, designed to support the growing community.
A visually stunning MMOFPS built on the Unreal Engine 3 technology, the gameplay of AFO is set apart from many traditional FPS.

Monkey has had eczema since he was 6 weeks old. He has now just turned 6 so I can totally relate to the consistency piece. It get so tiring for him, always having to be covered in cream. Laundry is so important and I found natural cotton too in the early years. Will look into this brand more as its not one Ive used.
Me and my daughter have mild eczema and we use a moisturiser regularly to keep it to a minimum.
Lots of cool baths and loads of lotion.
I always have Epaderm and piriton in the cupboards!
Aveeno cream twice a day.
Use a good nasal spray and wear wraparound sunglasses.
wear cotton and buy a decent slient fan!
Cotton sheets and clothing – always washed in soapods or ecoeggs or very gentle detergent.
Avoid outdoor activities from 10 am to 2 pm, when the sun is most intense. Also, it is usually the hottest time of the day.
I so badly need these!!
I use E45 cream – swear by it. It’s the only thing that works on the eczema on my hands!
Hydrocortisone cream 2.5% helps me in hot weather if used as a prevention measure.
Ooooh would be interested to try this !
Use a decent moisturiser aimed at eczema and sensitive skin. Use mild products in the shower so not to aggravate it.
Keep skin cool. Use a good cream.
moisturise regularly! I suffer from allergies and I find that a shower at the end of the night helps and I always keep anti histamines close by and use an eye mist to help with the itching!
I keep my fan on, use my creams more often and shower daily to soothe my skin.
Use household and bathing products with as few additives as possible – these products you have reviewed sound perfect.
Moisturise and try not to itch!!
The heat always trigger my eczema on my arms and back of my knees, the best thing I find is having cool baths and showers and products of any kind aggravate it more.
make sure my sons skin is well creamed and bath in the prescribed bath stuff we get from the doctors. this seems to help him and luckily hes been ok this hot summer.
We are clearly not the only family to dread the change in seasons. Our tip when the weather suddenly becomes very warm is to cool the worst affected area as much as can be stood. Works particularly well immediately before bed to numb the area to allow sleep.
My daughter only gets mild eczema so using a non bio detergent & natural mild skincare products is enough to keep it under control, how ever she does suffer badly from sun allergies & an allergy to sun lotion so when it hot out we have to find a balance between keeping her cool and keeping her covered.
Use lots of moisturisers and keep yourself cool.
My husband’s eczema on his arms is definitely worse in winter when the air is dry, but his feet get very dry in summer so I try to make sure he puts cream on his heels each night before he goes to bed.
I make sure all our bedding and bed clothes are 100% cotton.
Wearing cotton rather than synthetic fabrics seems to have a positive impact on sensitive skin so that would be my recommendation.
Wear cool cotton fabric garments, I remove labels & we use non-perfumed toiletries.
I put vaseline around my nostrils to catch the grass particles on their way up my nose and so therefore prevent hayfever, sneezing and red eyes.
My tip would be to moisturise and keep the fluid intake up.
If I’m having a flare I put the machine on for an extra rinse.

A desktop application for creating invoices with beautiful and customizable templates.
Do you speak multiple languages? We need your help!
If you're interested in translating Manta, please see the detailed instruction here. The following languages are currently being translated, if you would like to Manta to support another language, please submit your request here.
🎚 Flexible form. You can turn on/off field and save as default setting.
🏗 Drag & drop for reordering items. This makes editing easier.
📐 Use SVGs for logo for better printing.
🎨 Custom designed & highly customizable templates.
🏷 Custom statuses for invoices.
📊 Export PDF for print or email.
🔒 Complete Privacy. You financial data stays where it belongs.
macOS The minimum version supported is macOS 10.9.
Remember that doing this might lead to some degradation of the app's performance. This is why "the fix" is not included by default.
The main reason I decided to build this is because I need a simple tool to create good looking invoices, estimates, and receipts but couldn't find one that suits my needs. I don't do invoicing for a living but I do need it occasionally so an ideal invoicing app just needs to be good at one thing and one thing only, which is making invoices. I really don't need a full-fledged bookkeeping or accounting software.
Clone this project to your local machine.
Open terminal and cd into the cloned folder, usually cd Manta.
Run yarn dev in one tab to start webpack-dev-server.
Run yarn start in another tab to open the app.
Note that on Linux you will need additional dependencies to provide the icns2png and gm commands. Ubuntu/Debian users can run: sudo apt install -y icnsutils graphicsmagick.
Is this app built with Electron?
Yes, it's built on top of Electron. Please see the Technologies section for more info.
None. This is my attempt to integrate Electron with React from scratch. The idea was to get a better understanding of how things work together, especially Webpack. But I do take cue from other projects.
What CSS/UI Framework did you use?
I wrote all the CSS myself. I only use Bootstrap for prototyping at first. But I gradually encapsulate most of the style to the component with the help of styled-components. There is some places still use Bootstrap mostly for layout purpose but I'll get rid of it eventually.
Where did you get the icons?
Why did you name the project Manta? It has nothing to do with invoicing.
I like Manta's logo, did you design it?
Yes, I actually did all the illustrations as well as the templates that you see in the app.
Yes, I'm exploring new opportunities at the moment. Please let me know what you have in mind.
Special thanks to Crowdin for providing an open-source license for Manta. Feel free to check out their website for more information about this amazing localization management platform.

Hey there… I know I know….I’ve been gone for about 3 weeks. Life/work, once again, gets in my art way. But no fear, I’m here now.
I’ve been working on this video for a few weeks. I finally found the time to finish it. I started out as a large pamphlet I got in the mail. I thought it would be neat to alter it with some mixed media magic. Once I finished filming, this sucker was about 45 min long. So, had to cut it down a little and fast forward a lot. I put some comments in so you would know what I was doing. Let me know what you think.
If you have any questions about my process, give me a shout.. glad to help.
Here are some close ups.
If you live in New England or even Massachusetts, you probably are ready for Spring like the rest of us. We’ve had enough snow this winter and I’m ready for a nice long walk… I don’t know… Maybe late April?
I hope you enjoyed the video. Love to hear back from you.
Just when you thought you were going to squeak by winter with no more snow, since the freak storm in October,that is, and being one of the driest winters on record………… this happens.
…but I know who’s enjoying it the most…..
.. and it’s still snowing… Enjoy.
Judy? Are you out there?
Yes Yes, I’m here. I was only gone a minute, wasn’t I?
Wow.. what a couple of crazy weeks, I tell you. Between working my day job and surviving the New England October snowstorm with no electricity, I have been completely un-creative. I’ve lost my MoJu (get it? instead of “mojo” MoJu for Judy?). No?
Just when we were enjoying our New England Walk, a freak Nor’easter hits us like we never expected.
I took a few pictures to capture what was going on.
Kind of pretty at night like this. You can see my roses peeking out from the blanket of snow. We really didn’t get a lot of snow.. about 6″, but the weight of the snow and the leaves that hadn’t fallen yet, is what did all the damage.
As we drove out of town, we took a couple of pictures along the way.
This is only a couple a SEVERAL trees that obstructed our roads. Lots of wires were down on the roads also.
Check this tree out. We actually drove underneath it which was probably not a good idea.
Many towns were out of power for about a week… and I believe that most have their power back. The roads are still a bit messy and it’s disappointing that they are still not entirely cleared yet. This is only the beginning of the season. One can only hope these towns have their acts together and prepare for a tough winter so we can avoid another outage.
But, really, this is nothing compared to the devastating and tragic occurences that have happened in other parts of our country and around the world. I am grateful that this is all that happened. Just because I could never be a pioneer woman, doesn’t mean I can’t whine about it.
Well, Dixie doesn’t care.. she’s just glad to be home sleeping on her warm pillow… what a life! Love the tongue.
Before the storm hit, I was able to get in the studio to create a few hand-made embellishments.
If you follow my blog, you know how I just enjoy making these. I love to manipulate them to make them my own. You can see that I added cheeks to the faces. I have many molds that I made when I first began working with polymer clay about 10 years ago. I recall bringing wads of it with me wherever I went and when I saw a cool texture, I’d impressed it and carefully take the clay home to bake. Yes, my family thought I was coo coo.
I probably won’t post for about two weeks now as I have a business trip coming up and then a week off to prepare for Thanksgiving at my home this year. HELP! I plan on getting in some studio time after the holiday since it will be a long weekend. No Black Friday shopping for me…. no sir eee.
Thanks for your patience, everyone, and for stopping by to see if I was still in existence.
My husband and I went for a long walk today. It was just gorgeous out. I decided to take my camera with me and take YOU along too.
The colors this years are not the greatest, but remember saying that last year and then two weeks later, it was vibrant. But, we had such a harsh summer with the heat, that the trees got a beating. Did I say that last year too? Check out last year’s posts HERE and HERE – wow pretty last year.
Ok, ready? C’mon.. bundle up.. it’s chilly and keep up.
Let’s start out heading down the road from our street… take a left..
I’m trying to get the effect of the “tunnel of trees”. Are you feeling it?
I just love that this back hoe is just sitting there for years, nature growing all around it. Don’t you wonder why someone left it there… Isn’t John Deere missing one?
Let’s go down the road some more here.. we’ve only just begun.
Crossing over into the next town… my feet hurt.
That rusted horseshoe has been there for months, untouched. I thought about grabbing it to make something out of it.. but it seems to belong there.
.. and there’s another piece of equipment.. an old tractor. I think it actually works.
You with me still? I know it’s a long walk, but don’t you feel good? My feet hurt.
Oh, and look who took a quick top to check us out. Cute.
I know, I know.. there are a lot of pictures… I’ve really cut some out too. Hang in there with me, please.
Now, this tree is the same one in my post from last year. Look at the difference in the colors. Maybe it will pop in a week or so.
Once we get over this little hill, I have a surprise for you… watch..
It’s Laverne & Shirley (I actually just made that up..I don’t know their names). They were never out this summer on my walks.. but so glad they came out for us today.
..and there you have it… you just did about 4 miles. Thanks for joining me. I wish the colors were more fantastic for you this year, but it gives you the feeling of our Fall season right now. I hope you enjoyed it. Now go relax and drink your water… My feet hurt.
I’m sorry I’ve been gone a little while. I’ve been buried in work and snow. This week, I was beginning to feel like an eskimo in an igloo. We got hit with another snow storm this week. Ok, the snow is pretty…..for December… but this is enough. I think it will finally thaw out in June.
Take a look and see what I mean? And this is the pretty stuff.. the town and cities are loaded with banks and banks of snow. No place to walk, no where to park in some cases and the streets are narrow. Nuff of the complaining now… enjoy some pictures.
From the back deck to back yard… I can hardly see my grill.
I’ve been invited to an art day with some friends tomorrow. I really need this.. I’ve been in an art rut… Know what I mean??? Work, family, life is just taking priority lately and I need to get a grip of it and get in the studio. Not that I’m going to make my family last priority, but a little “me” time is due. I don’t think anyone will come to me and say “honey, mom, we till take care of everything today, you just go relax and do what you want”.
As for my art rut, this is a discussion that I’ve had with some of my artist friends lately about kinda going “dormant” for a while, brain takes a vacation, chilling out. Eventually it will come back. It will, won’t it?
Have you ever had that happen… Blank stares at the canvas, at the art table and at the page?
I have signed up for some fun “me” workshops. I AM going to put time aside for myself. There, Ive said it and “it’s in the books” (as “Uncle Buck” says).
In the meantime, I’m still fiddling (as in very little) in my little sketchbook for the “Sketchbook Challenge”. Here’s a few pages to share.. size 5″ x 3 1/2″…done with fine black marker and watercolor paints.
The theme for January is still “Highly Prized”.. and I consider MY TIME.. the time I create, to be highly prized.
More art soon… pray for no more snow and thanks for stopping by.
Well, I’m sure you’ve heard of our winter blizzard hitting the New England area today.
As we are snow bound in our country home and lucky for me, I work at home full-time in my office (well, not sure how lucky that is).. so no snow days for me anymore.. those days have been long gone.
Here are some beautiful shots at the peak and toward the end of the storm today.
Total inches of snow – about 20″.
Click any picture for a closer look.
Below is the view from my office window.. I watched that pile up all day… cool.
Oh, look who stopped by. Caught this picture at the exact time the wind blew the birds hair up like a spike. Funny. I’ve been waiting for a male cardinal to come by, but not today.
If you are experiencing the same today, be safe and warm, my friends. If you have some pictures, send them along or link us to your blog.
I’ve joined the Artchix Studio challenge this week called A Snowy Art Challenge. I hope they enjoy my snowy pictures.. stop by their site and take a look at their beautiful offerings.
How many more weeks until summer?
Thanks for stopping by to take a look.
It’s been raining here in Massachusetts for two days. I secretly like the rain and I work in a home office so I don’t have to leave if I choose not to. I am fortunate, I know. How I wish I could just play in my studio listening to the rain pitter patter against the house. A very comforting sound to me.
We also had our first frost this week.. it’s always a milestone to see the evident while layer of coldness on the grass. The frost that has to be scraped off of car windows. Brrr.. winter is coming; that’s what it says to everyone..so get ready.
Here is a couple of pictures of frost on my roses and hydrangeas.
Attacking my bird feeder. …. and then they were gone… never to be seen again. Did someone tell them there was a free buffet or something? Strange, don’t you think? A sign.. or nothing?
I’ll be back in the studio next week and I take a few days off of work and enjoy some art play. I’ll be posting some new works in the works.

We had a really great bus driver who went to the store for during the ceremony when we discovered we were running low on beverages. Paid for it out of his own pocket too. I recommend this over a limo anyday. If you have a large wedding party and need more than one limo, this cost about the same as two limos.

Born and brought up in New York City, Kate is a former high school teacher at Central Park East Secondary School who had planned to start a Masters of Divinity and possible journalism school program at Harvard, Yale, or Columbia University.
In January 2005, Kate's plans were interrupted by a cerebral hemorrhage caused by a ruptured aneurysm, which caused partial paralysis along her right side and severe speech and language deficits, leaving her initially unable to get out of bed, speak, read, or write. She has since been recovering through an extensive program of physical, speech, and occupational therapy at the Rusk Institute of Rehabilitation Medicine at NYU Medical Center.
Kate's true key to successful recovery, however, has been her family, friends, and therapists. Her advisor, Anne McGuire, completed Kate's Yale application for her while Kate was still in a coma in ICU; her surgeon, Dr. Riina, and his nurse Lucille have been a strong support as well as preserving her life and prospects for recovery; her therapists Jen and Karen have given her friendship as well as a strong program of therapy; and her friends and family have contributed in every possible way to her health and happiness. Kate feels very lucky to have such wonderful people in her life.
Until she is able to write, Kate has been expressing herself and exploring her intelligence and creativity by painting landscapes and seascapes, making hand-drawn T-shirt designs, and especially crafting custom cards using watercolors, inks, found materials, and many other artistic resources. Recently, Kate's fellow patients have also become interested in producing these cards.
Kate and her fellow patients and friends therefore have started a project to provide these cards to a wider market, with the proceeds going to fund services to patients recovering from or coping with severe physical trauma, brain injuries, or degenerative disorders.

This section applies to version 3.4 of GNU Health.
1 One World, One Health: Welcome to the GNU Health Federation !
One World, One Health: Welcome to the GNU Health Federation !
Genetic disorders, cancer, neurodegenerative conditions and autoimmune diseases are some formidable and elusive challenges that the world faces today. In the areas of genomics and precision medicine, many natural variants are of unknown clinical significance, that is, we still don't know how pathogenic they are or the role they will play on our health. Moreover, and most importantly, socioeconomic determinants are still behind of 50% of maladies.
It's important to conceive health as the result of the interaction from multiple factors and actors. The GNU Health federation puts together and contextualize the information on a person biology, family history, lifestyle and environmental / socioeconomic status. We can no longer only focus on the molecular basis of health and disease, disregarding the environment, social condition and lifestyle of the individual, or vice-versa. If we really want to make a revolution in our system of health, and in the health of upcoming generations, we must work in a trans-disciplinary manner, with a holistic approach to the person. With this global vision, and with all the information gathered across the participating nodes of the federation, we will be closer to identify the significance of those natural variants and, hopefully, we will find a cure.
The GNU Health Federation project aims to build a community based, federated health network among different regions and in a country, and, why not, among countries around the globe. A federation can be as large as you want. From a small regional federated network with several nodes, to a large, nationwide health network with thousands / millions of participating nodes.
Most EMR / HIS are transactional systems. They work on specific frameworks, generating transactions / processes on the institution and storing the information on their local database. Some examples are medical encounters, prescriptions, hospitalizations, stock management or billing. The main objective is to “get the job done”.
Data Analysis problems: Transactional systems usually don’t excel in reporting. The user normally has to write specific reports, and on-the-fly reporting / or data analysis is not trivial, and it takes a big toll on performance, impacting on the normal operation of the institutions.
Data isolation: Today there are a lot of silos in health informatics. Each institution has its own system / systems, completely alienated from others. This isolation generates very limited benefits for the public health system.
Interoperability: Each node can use its own technology . For instance, the HMIS node, mostly used in the hospitals can co-exist with a mobile application, or with a research institution, each of them use different technology and frameworks, yet their results can be shared among them.
Selectivity: Each node decides which information to share in the federation.
Scalability: The data coming from the different nodes will be collected and processed in a set of NoSQL databases. This allows growing without impacting the the performance of transactional daily operations of each node.
High Availability : Since each node is independent, the high availability at local level is guaranteed. Moreover, the NoSQL / document oriented databases allow replication to ensure both high availability and load balancing.
Big Data: The GNU Health federation model allows storing very large amount of data, where aggregation, data analysis and reporting can be done in real time.
Standard based: In order to integrate all the nodes participating in the Federation, they have to “talk” a common language.
Trans-disciplinary cooperation : Different entities (the person, health professionals, researchers , social workers, .. ) are all active members of the federation, with the particularity of both being independent but yet, an integral part of the network.
Nodes : Each autonomous participant on the federation (HMIS, LIMS, PHR, mobile devices) is a node.
GNU Health message server (Thalamus) : Middle man between the nodes and the Health Information System. It also controls the access level of each node / person to different objects.
GNU Health Information System: A Document oriented database that holds the Person Master Index, demographics, medical information and the Pages of Life.
The traditional GNU Health HMIS is now integrated to the GNU Health Federation. Most of the information coming out from daily medical practices can now be sent to the Federation, and be shared across the network.
One important and key aspect of GNU Health federation is that each node is autonomous. That is, they don't need a network to function independently. In many places the information gathered can not be sent immediately due to network outages or lack of communication. In other cases, the information needs to be validated before sharing it with the other nodes.
Select the "health_federation" module and mark it to install. For more information about installing packages on the HMIS node, please refer to the general installation section.

Job Director of Media Production / Crossroad Design Co.
I started out as a musician. Singer songwriter type stuff--just me and my guitar, but I've played in a couple other small groups over the years. I primarily focus my energy on my small design company that 3 friends and I started up in the summer of 2012 where we offer everything from print and web design to film and audio production, and everything else inbetween.
I currently work as a manager at Island Treasure Toys in Bath, ME and in my spare time I like to brew my own beer and enjoy all the craft beer that Portland has to offer.
Why did you choose Portland? Portland is the HUB of all creativity in the North East for me. Plus they have great beer.

Jon Feltheimer, formerly known as the CEO of Lionsgate, now known as the man who made teenage dreams come true, told Wall Street investors that there is no way his studio won't make more Twilight movies about angsty teenage vampires and their mewling human crushes or about dystopian entertainment Hunger Games movies that aren't as good as The Running Man. You know, if author/creators Stephanie Meyer and Suzanne Collins are into it. And, if fellow author J.K. Rowling's propensity for making movies based off nonexistent books is any indicator [hint: it is], they will be because, survey says: MONEY!
If you recall Suicide Squad, and chances are you shouldn't [the one time I actually almost left a theater before a movie ended], you probably don't remember just how awful it was. Like, if you saw it, your brain should have repressed the memories to retain its sanity. How can that make hundreds of millions of dollars? *Brain explodes* Suicide Squad's sequel is already in development. And both Twilight, as much as I hate to admit, and The Hunger Games are far superior properties: of course the franchise owner will mine these properties until their mine shafts collapse killing everyone inside. It's nature. Or corporate greed. Whichever. Examine this: so-called relaunches, remakes, and reboots only need a cooling off period of several years, sometimes as few as 2. Audiences refresh that quickly, or their memories are that bad. Each franchise could potentially have new iterations in less than a decade.
Wait for the inevitable crossover, Katniss Everdeen: Vampire Slayer.

KB#00545-Running BBx / PRO5 on multi-processor systems. | BASIS International Ltd.
KB#00545-Running BBx / PRO5 on multi-processor systems.
Running BBx / PRO5 on multi-processor systems.
BASIS is neutral on Multi-processor systems. By that I mean that we rely completely on the operating system and on the libraries that are supplied with the operating system to handle allocation of jobs to the various CPU's. Currently in multi-processor systems, BBx jobs are parceled out to the CPU's according to the CPU's balancing algorithm. There should be a fairly even distribution of BBx jobs among the multiple processors. In the future, BASIS products will be multi threaded which will allow multi-processor operating systems a finer level of control over the allocation of tasks.
Users of multi-processor systems should take into account 2 SETOPTS bits that can affect performance in general, and specifically, can also help reduce bottlenecks on multi-processor systems. First is the advisory locking bit (byte 3, bit $40$ in the options vector) which most people know about. Most multi-user systems will see a benefit in using Advisory Locking where it is available. multi-processor systems should see a bigger overall benefit because Advisory Locking can reduce logjams that force the multiple CPU's into a serial mode.
file operations before it can do it's operation. So instead of several CPU's churning away in parallel on the different jobs, this situation could force them to operate serially, with an overall slowdown in the system. Allowing multiple reads to proceed can break that logjam and improve system performance. This can also work on Single processor systems, but the most dramatic effect is on multi-processor systems.
Caveat 1: As far as I know this is only supported in Unix systems. It's an operating system level feature.
Caveat 2: Many, if not most, systems involved in Business Data Processing do more reads than writes. Setting the "multiple access bit" gives reads an edge, so writes can take longer. In most cases, I suspect that the improvement in reads will more than offset the slower writes. If your system does more writes than reads, you won't see much improvement, if you see any at all. You may even see a slowdown. At the other extreme, if the system does a LOT more reads than writes, while the reads are going faster, the writes are going to be waiting a LOT longer.
Caveat 3: If the system is completely IO bound, adding more CPU's won't help much and may hurt. In this case concentrate on the IO with lots of RAM available for disk caching, RAID subsystems, etc.
So try it on a Unix system. You may see a dramatic improvement.

I woke up with a rather spectacular migraine spike this morning. I've been having more of them, and a new kind at that, recently. It's been really frustrating, especially as the last three months or so I've been pretty much in free fall in terms of number of good days I have. The vertigo I started getting in 2014 is getting a lot more so, and only a few days a month can I really go a whole day without it getting in the way at all. Add to that starting in November a new type of migraine on top of the others, and I'm in a lovely mood.
Yesterday I was griping to myself as I was curled up in the fetal position on the couch again that one of the things I hate most about the vertigo is that the only method of dealing with it that I have been given right now is to drug myself so that I don't register what is being felt. But that means that my functionality has gone to pot, as being made to not register what my brain is feeling makes it pretty difficult to be able to register or accomplish much of anything else. I was bemoaning to myself that with the severe migraines, at least there were times when I could just grit my teeth and take two more steps than were at all felt to be possible. Even if I "fell" and ended up with only one, at least I'd done something; or at the very basic level, I'd been able to try.
After about 9AM, I decided that since it was obvious the pain wasn't going to be going away, but I had any amount of brain function, I made myself get up and try to do something. I ended up managing to sweep some of the floors in parts of the house. I didn't get it all done, and ended up needing to rest with an ice pack around my shoulders and gatorade to drink, but I did get a tiny bit of something done. The 15 years of intractable migraine, and my 29 years of just living with pain have made it so that occasionally, I can do something.
It's rewarding, seeing myself having gotten something done when the pain's so bad; especially as it's so rare I can. But when I can, I'm grateful, and need to remember to say thank you for the successes I can have.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Thursday stressed the need for collaboration and cooperation among neighbouring countries to minimise damages caused by natural disasters.
“Collaboration and cooperation among nations, especially the neighbours, is very crucial in facing damages caused by natural disasters of greater magnitude,” she said.
The Prime Minister said this while addressing the inaugural ceremony of the 4th session of the Regional Consultative Group (RCG) on Humanitarian Civil-Military Coordination for Asia and the Pacific here.
She inaugurated the three-day international conference at hotel InterContinental Dhaka in the city.
“We may not be able to prevent natural disasters but can reduce the extent of damages through our prudent works. In Bangladesh, we’re giving the highest importance to mitigation programmes,” Sheikh Hasina said.
Hasina said Bangladesh has been able to reduce casualties in incidents of natural disasters in recent times by taking various measures line improvement in early warning system and dissemination of information, establishment of cyclone, shelters and active engagement of dedicated CPP volunteers to preparedness and response activities.
Mentioning that Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman had initiated the Cyclone Preparedness Program-CPP in 1972, she said the CPP is one of the first community-based disaster preparedness programmes in the world.

NSA Whistleblower Edward Snowden dismissed as ‘absurd’ accusations from US lawmakers he might have spied on behalf of Russia when taking troves of classified US government documents, insisting he acted alone in a rare interview with the New Yorker.
Snowden told the magazine via encrypted means from Moscow that he “clearly and unambiguously acted alone, with no assistance from anyone, much less a government."
Snowden asks why would he have initially fled to Hong Kong, and why was he “stuck in the airport forever”, in reference to the forty days he spent stranded in the transit zone of Moscow’s Sheremetyevo International Airport.
Snowden’s statement follows accusations made by the Chairs of both the House and Senate Intelligence Committees on Sunday, insinuating he might have collaborated with the FSB - the Russian successor organization to the Soviet-era KGB.
"I believe there's a reason he ended up in the hands - the loving arms - of an FSB agent in Moscow. I don't think that's a coincidence," Representative Mike Rogers, a Republican congressman from Michigan who chairs the House Intelligence Committee, told NBC's 'Meet the Press'.
Rogers did not provide specific evidence to back up his claim, merely suggesting there were “clues that certainly would indicate to me that he had some help."
On Wednesday, Snowden’s legal representative in Russia, Anatoly Kucherena, said accusations that Moscow somehow played a part in Snowden’s decision to take hundreds of thousands of classified documents were attempts to discredit the Russian Federation.
“In this case it’s an egregious fact that people [ranking government officials] like the head of the US House Intelligence Committee is tossing around false information to the press,” Kucherena told Ria-Novosti News Agency.
Kucherena said that Rogers, like anyone, should realize that one is responsible for the false information they spread.
Kucherena said that Snowden had only recently found a job, and prior to that was living off donations provided by others. If he had been collaborating with Russian security agencies, then Snowden would have been “financially secure", Kucherena added.
Kucherena’s views reflect the conclusions of the FBI’s own investigation into Snowden. Following Roger’s allegations, on Sunday, a senior FBI official told the New York Times that it was the bureau’s conclusion that Snowden had acted alone.
Other US security officials told Reuters as recently as last week that the United States had no evidence that Snowden had been aided or abetted in any way by outside forces.
Speaking with the NYT in October, Snowden said he did not take any classified documents with him when he ended up in Russia in June.
"There's a zero percent chance the Russians or Chinese have received any documents," Snowden told the paper.
Snowden, who is currently living in an undisclosed location in Russia after receiving temporary asylum, reportedly requested protection from Russian law enforcement after a series of death threats were aired against him in the US media.

A few weeks ago I wrote a review for Orchestra Baobab's new album for FestivalInfo, which you can read over here (in Dutch). The beautiful record is a worthy addition to the impressive career of the band from Senegal. Best of all, they were visiting my home town!
When the nine members of the band walk on the stage, loud cheers sound. It's been a long time since the band visited our country and ten years since the previous record. It is obvious their fans are happy to see them again. In the meantime they lost their singer Ndiouga Dieng and dedicated the new LP to him. His son Alpha Dieng is now sharing lead vocals with veteran and timbales player Balla Sidibe. Guitarist BarthélémyAttisso left the band and was replaced with kora player Abdoulaye Cissoko, which works very well as we get to experience tonight. The kora broadens their sound even more and his presence adds extra energy to the stage where the kora is an attraction by itself.
It is incredible how the band is able to keep the songs modest with so many skilled and talented people on stage. But everyone knows exactly what the songs need and won't play unnecessary notes. Every musician can grab their moment to shine. Tenor sax player Issa Cissokho knows how to entertain the crowd, making contact with the people in front of the stage and goofing around a bit. Together with the modest alt sax player Thierno Koité they add sparkling accents and energetic solo's.
I was especially impressed with young guitarist René Sowatche, who is scattering virtuoso solos and melodies around like candy. The Afro-Cuban and traditional African music turns the venue into a dancing party where most of the people are moving to the melancholic and sunny melodies. Today spring returned to our country and I think this wonderful band has something to do with that, bringing sunshine where ever they go.

Overvoltage is during a transient event like lightning surge, or when a wrong value of power supply is used. The damage is almost immediate, especially if you have an array of relay drawing power directly from the incoming supply. The acrid smell of burning semiconductor will confirm that the hardware has to be repaired or replaced.
A way to protect against overvoltage is by using a zener diode. Instead of placing it like a regular diode, position a zener diode across the incoming positive supply and ground in a reversed manner. When the reverse voltage across a zener diode exceeds its threshold, the zener diode becomes conductive and clamps the voltage at its specified value.
Based on the wide variety of negative consequences possible, there’s no excuse for not including protection features for your DC supply input. After all, the required components are easily available from the integrated libraries available in Altium Designer® .

Venus might seem rather Earthly, given its similar size and presence of a thick, carbon dioxide-filled atmosphere. But the more scientists observe it, the more surprises the second planet from the Sun throws at us.
New results from a simulation continue to paint a strange picture of our noxious neighbour. It seems that an interaction between the planet’s mountains and its atmosphere could create waves strong enough to change the length of a Venusian day by up to two minutes.
Let’s paint a picture of the wacky planet we’re dealing with here. A full rotation takes Venus 243 Earth days, while a single orbit around the Sun takes 225 days. However, the planet rotates in the opposite direction as Earth, so if we consider a “day” as the planet making one full turn, then the Sun actually rises twice during a single day on Venus. Meanwhile, its cloud tops orbit the planet once every four Earth days, and the atmosphere at its surface is around 90 times denser than Earth’s at sea level.
The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency has a spacecraft orbiting Venus called Akatsuki. It’s already made some important observations, like an enormous atmospheric anomaly, a bow-like structure in the planet’s clouds that appears not to move despite the fast winds below. The team behind the mission hypothesised that this persistent structure is the result of a wave produced when the planet’s speedy winds run up against its mountains, like water flowing over a big rock in a river.
Two researchers from UCLA and another from the University of Paris-Saclay in France popped Akatsuki’s data into a model of Venus’ atmosphere, and the simulation agreed with the previous hypothesis that the strange anomaly was a “gravity wave” resulting from the wind interacting with the mountains. But it also found that, taking these waves into account, the atmosphere could cause a two-Earth-minute fluctuation in how fast Venus rotates on its axis.
This is interesting for several reasons, according to the paper published yesterday in Nature Geoscience. Further studying these waves and how they affect Venus could help scientists better understand its interior, as well as its strange atmosphere. And learning about processes on other planets could help us interpret phenomena on Earth.
But note that the scientists haven’t actually measured a length-of-day change—they just ran a model that suggested it could be possible. They call out in their new paper that their model has its limits, and direct observation will be needed to truly know what’s happening on Venus. “Eventually, an accurate measurement of the length-of-day could detect the various impacts of the atmospheric flow against mountains,” they write.

Your cousin invited you to her bachelorette weekend in Vegas. With 35 of her closest friends. And you’re sharing a hotel room with two of them. If this makes you cringe, you might be an introvert—someone who tends to prefer quiet and calm, and feels more energized after getting some alone time. Although any calming one-on-one activity will make you feel recharged (think reading, meditating or watching a movie), these three unexpected tips are scientifically proven to help introverts de-stress, fast.
When you’re staring down the barrel of a long day full of crowds and uncomfortable social interactions, your first instinct might be to reach for the biggest latte you can find. Not so fast—a study published by the American Association for the Advancement of Science found that introverts who drank one cup of coffee or more performed more poorly on verbal ability tests than those who didn’t drink any, likely because the caffeine made them more anxious. Instead, stick with water (or better yet, herbal tea), take deep breaths and try your best to stay in the moment.
Reading? Taking a warm bath? Knitting? All fabulous, relaxing activities for introverts. But don’t underestimate the huge benefits of doing absolutely nothing. A study conducted by the BBC suggests that time spent “puttering,” or hanging around the house doing simple chores and activities, is one of the best things an introvert can do to de-stress. So add to your rubber band ball, fold your laundry, paint your toenails and watch Dancing with the Stars with great abandon.
Yes, introverts need time alone to unwind and re-energize. But a study by the University of Castilla-La Mancha and University of Malaga in Spain found that the happiest introverts spent time with good friends on a regular basis. So while your life-of-the-party cousin might only be best in small doses, make sure to schedule regular movie nights with your old best friends from college. You know, the ones who make you feel calm and totally understand you (and your desperate need to avoid karaoke night like the plague).

Since I have ADD and can't do just one thing at a time, I would NEVER update this blog, so I guess I have to share!
For the longest time, there was nothing on my living room walls. NOTHING. I just wasn't sure how to decorate them with the newest furniture arrangement (which I still don't like).
So that was our living room. For a LOOONNGG time.
Then we got two chairs to "enclose" the space (I like living rooms that feel cozy, so there needed to be a "barrier" between the seating area and the hallways). And there was an enormous empty area on the wall (this was where I'd built the easel for in a previous post), so I built this shelf.
But still, there was nothing on the WALLS.
Just do a row of frames across the loveseat wall! That way it wasn't going in relation to any one, certain thing and didn't draw attention to the awkwardness of that wall!
And then there's the darned plant ledge that is going to be the death of me!

ISLAMABAD: Petroleum Minister Ghulam Sarwar Khan stressed on Monday that energy was an essential driver to accelerate GDP growth and to achieve economic sustainability.
“Pakistan is energy deficient and requires affordable and dependable energy supplies to support its economic growth. The mission of this government is to promote investment in the energy sector so as to ensure a sustainable supply of oil and gas, which would subsequently help develop the country’s economy,” he stated while addressing the International Conference on Pakistan Petroleum.
The minister said that the government, under the leadership of Prime Minister Imran Khan, was striving hard to attract investment through good governance.
He lamented that despite being blessed with several gas discoveries since the country’s independence, there was a gap between supply and demand.
The minister noted that oil and gas, including LNG, were the major components of the country’s energy mix as they constitute over 75pc of primary energy supplies. This government, being cognizant of the energy needs, has constituted an Energy Task Force, which would soon provide a comprehensive road map to help address the energy-related issues, he added.
“Oil is a well-established sector in Pakistan and is critical to meet the needs of many sectors. Many local and foreign major business groups are expanding their presence and setting up modern refineries and retail chains,” he noted.
Ghulam Sarwar Khan forecasted growth in the oil and transportation trade after the successful execution of the China Pakistan Economic Corridor.
“In the oil sector, Pakistan today does not have a deep conversion refinery,” the minister deplored, adding that five local refineries, which were basically hydro-skimming, produce only 12 million tonnes per annum of petroleum products against the current demand of over 25 million tonnes.
Ghulam Sarwar Khan was upbeat about cooperation between Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and UAE in the petroleum sector, including Pakistan’s first deep conversion oil refinery.
“We are working towards better oil and gas exploration in Pakistan and new blocks will be offered very soon in this regard. Pakistan provides a level playing field to all exploration and production companies. I also encourage state-owned E&P companies to participate in the bidding rounds in order to compete with other companies,” he stated.
Prices offered to E&P companies for gas discoveries by Pakistan were among the best in the region, the minister claimed.
“Pakistan has a large offshore basin which largely remains unexplored. The Indus offshore is the second largest submarine fan system in the world and analogous to the prolific oil and gas producing Niger, Mahakam, Nile deltas and Krishna Godavari Basin. It is heartening that presently ExxonMobil, Eni, OGDCL and PPL are working on Kekra I,” he added.
The government welcomes local and foreign investors to expand their operations in Pakistan and initiate new projects, he said.
“Pakistan, with its growing educated middle-class and a young population, has tremendous growth potential and we are dedicated to meeting the energy needs of our expanding economy with best management of existing energy projects,” he concluded.

Is The “Israel Lobby” Really Losing Its Grip, and, If It Is, What Are The Implications?
In an perceptive piece for The American Conservativeunder the headline OBAMA’S ISRAEL TEST, Scott McConnell asked, “Is the lobby losing its grip?” It seems so, but I think it’s important to understand the choice that will exist for the Jews of the world, and Jewish Americans especially, if American politicians (many if not all) and the mainstream media do stop being frightened of offending the lobby.
But first things first. The lobby in question is not what McConnell and others including Mearsheimer and Walt state it to be. It’s not“the Israel lobby”. It could only be called that if it represented the views of allIsraeli Jews. It does not do so any more than AIPAC represents the views of all Jewish Americans. (According to recent polls, AIPAC probably speaks for not more than one-third of all Jewish Americans and possibly considerably less).
Way back in February 1980, I had a private conversation with Shimon Peres. He was then the leader of Israel’s Labour Party, the main opposition to Menachem Begin’s Likud dominated ruling coalition, which was speeding up the colonisation of the occupied West Bank. In the course of this conversation, I used the term “Israel lobby”. In a voice laced with despair and a hint of anger, Peres said: “It’s notan Israel lobby. It’s a Likudlobby. And that’s my problem.” (At the time Peres and almost the whole world including President Carter was hoping that he would win Israel’s next election and deny Begin a second term in office as prime minister. He didn’t).
In due course, after Ariel Sharon broke with Likud to form the Kadima Party, the lobby became the Likud-Kadima lobby, but it remained Likud in its core essence. The only major difference between Likud and Kadima is that the latter understands, as Prime Minister Olmert recently admitted, that the Zionist state of Israel would be finished, destroyed by the demographic time-bomb of occupation, if it did not withdraw from some of the West Bank. (Sharondid not withdraw from Gazafor peace but as a first step to defusing the demographic time-bomb; and, if he could do it without provoking a Jewish civil war, he was intending at some point to withdraw from about half, more or less, of the West Bank. He was not at all concerned that the 40 to 60 percent of it he was intending to withdraw from would not and could not constitute a viable Palestinian mini-state).
All things considered, including Israel’s on-going colonisation of those parts of the occupied West Bank its leaders intend to keep for ever, I think (and have long thought) that the best way to serve the cause of understanding is to give the particular phenomenon its proper name. It is not the Israel lobby, or even the Likud or Likud-Kadima lobby. It is theZionist lobby.
For those who are unaware of what Zionism actually is – I mean politicalZionism as opposed to spiritualZionism – and why it is the complete opposite of Judaism, I offer the following brief explanation.
Political Zionism is the nationalism of some Jews, actually a tiny minority of the world’s Jews at the time of Zionism’s first public and dishonest mission statement in 1897, which colonised land, Palestine, to create a state for some Jews; an enterprise which required the incoming, alien Zionist colonisers – most if not all of whom had no biological connection to the ancient Hebrews, the first Israelites – to ethnically cleanse the land of most of its indigenous Arab inhabitants,the majority population at the time of the colonisation. A Zionist today is one, not necessarily a Jew, who (to quote Balfour) supports the Zionist state of Israel “right or wrong”, and who cannot or will not admit that a wrong was done to the Palestinians by Zionism,a wrong that must be righted on terms acceptable to the Palestinians for justice and peace.
