Officials believe the wide availability and low cost of these machines have caused an increase in the number of clinics screening pregnant women and offering illegal sex determination tests.
The test results are often used by the husband's family to pressurize the woman into having an abortion.
India has been widely criticised for its skewed sex ratio which is widely believed to have been affected by female foeticide and abortion.
Last year's census revealed the number of girls for every one thousand boys is falling sharply. In 2001 there were 927 girls per thousand boys, but by 2011 the figure had plunged to 914.
Now India's Central Board of Excise and Customs has been asked to investigate the role played by imported Chinese ultrasound machines and explore whether duties can be levied to price expectant mothers out of taking sex determination tests.
Any curbs on trade with China is a sensitive issue – both countries are anxious to boost bi-lateral trade.
Officials have been advised they cannot ban the ultrasounds from being imported, but believe they can find ways to make them more expensive.
The Health Ministry has written to the Excise department asking for an investigation into the imports. "There is an urgent need therefore to formulate appropriate policy guidelines to regulate their unhindered proliferation," a ministry of health letter explained.
"Chinese machines are cheaper than Indian ones and we have noticed a growing trend to import Chinese USG machines in India. Some cases have also been noticed where Chinese machines were used for sex determination."
"We cannot ban the imports so this could be one of the methods to stop its spread," said one official, who asked not to be named.

Scotland 15-15 England, Six Nations, March 13
Scotland and England draw a blank
March 13, 2010
Ugo Monye shrugs off the tackle of John Barclay

England have retained the Calcutta Cup following a dour 15-15 draw with Scotland at Murrayfield, a record 18th in the long history of the fixture.
In a game played out between two sides low on confidence there was precious little running rugby to celebrate, with both relying heavily on the boot and being plagued by handling errors.
Scotland dominated possession in the first-half and showed far more endeavour than the visitors but could not find a telling blow, settling for a narrow lead at the break thanks to two penalties and a drop-goal from Dan Parks, who added a further brace of kicks in the second-half.
Jonny Wilkinson kicked three penalties for the visitors before leaving the field with a head knock, his replacement Toby Flood kicking two but missing out on a drop-goal with the final play of the game. England now travel to France with their Championship dream in tatters while Scotland boss Andy Robinson will need to move on from another disappointment as his men seek to avoid the wooden spoon against Triple Crown hopefuls Ireland in Dublin.
The game began with a little kicking tennis, which England won thanks to a well-directed chip from Mark Cueto, but the first volley from the backs soon arrived as Wilkinson was able to put Ugo Monye into a hole only for the Harlequins wing to knock-on.
Both teams retreated to the kicking option soon after and Scotland profited with the first points after Dan Cole failed to release under instruction from South African referee Marius Jonker. Having converted the penalty Parks kicked the ball away needlessly from the restart, wasting the efforts of Johnnie Beattie and Jim Hamilton, who had run hard from deep to set up position.
Nevertheless Scotland continued to make the early running, Beattie straightening the line well and showing good pace in another surge, Parks failing to reward his efforts by missing touch from a penalty awarded for offside. England sparked briefly into life through Mathew Tait and James Haskell, whose offload split the Scottish line. The momentum was wasted by a dire, looping pass from Wilkinson that was knocked on by hooker Dylan Hartley on the wing.
Wilkinson atoned by slotting England's first points from the kicking tee but the visitors were soon under huge pressure on their own line. Scotland attacked the gain-line with pace and precision, using Nick de Luca well in the wide channels, and stretched England's resolve before Parks opted for the cross-field kick.
Max Evans claimed and Riki Flutey was forced into conceding a penalty for not releasing, the same penalty conceded by Haskell seconds later following clean lineout ball for Scotland. The Stade Francais flanker was lucky to escape a yellow card but Parks chipped over his second penalty to the delight of the home fans.
Scotland continued to press and dominated possession and territory. England wasted a prime attacking opportunity when Hartley lobbed in a skewed lineout following an excellent touch-finder from Wilkinson but the Toulon fly-half levelled the scores with a penalty and collected the mantle of record points scorer in the Six Nations.
The crowd grew restless as the game was broken up by a seemingly endless series of scrums, with both packs taking an age to settle in. As half-time approached Scotland continued their aggressive running and set up field position for Parks to chip over a drop-goal and secure a narrow lead.
Hamilton conceded a mindless penalty from the second-half restart and Wilkinson levelled the scores with his third penalty. England continued to miss their first-up tackles though and only poor decision making from Al Kellock spared them following a pacy break from Evans.
Wilkinson was carried groggily from the field after a heavy fall, allowing Flood a long-awaited shot at the playmaking duties. A tough call for offside against John Barclay allowed the Leicester fly-half to snatch the lead for the visitors for the first time in the game but it was short-lived as more Scottish endeavour yielded a penalty for Parks.
Parks sent his next effort cannoning off the post and the fans were left wanting for a more clinical edge to accompany Scotland's ambition. A sliced clearance by Danny Care allowed Scotland to maintain their field position but a sickening clash of heads between Kelly Brown and Monye stopped play for a lengthy period. Brown left the field under his own steam but Monye was less fortunate and required a stretcher before being replaced by Leicester scrum-half Ben Youngs on the wing, for a Test debut.
Flood pushed a long-range penalty wide following excellent work at the breakdown by Hartley and England elected to go for the jugular with their next opportunity. Allan Jacobsen was forced to infringe following some well worked phases by England and the ball went into the corner. Scotland pinched the lineout but conceded a free-kick, from which England signalled a scrum.
Nick Easter controlled at the base but was forced back, England bereft of options out wide and grateful to the referee for another penalty. Flood this time took the three points but England again failed to release, surviving a yellow card only on the second thoughts of the referee, leaving Parks to smash another penalty off the upright.
Alan MacDonald, on as a replacement for Brown, followed up and beat the lazy England response to the ball, setting up a series of frantic drives metres from the English line. Parks chipped the ball away with men over but was called back for a penalty under the posts, which he duly dispatched.
With time rapidly running out both teams retreated into their shells in fear of conceding the losing score, with England able to establish enough possession to work their way towards the posts. Flood dropped back for the drop-goal but Scotland's rush defence smothered his effort to end the game on a fitting note, an error and a kick to boot.

Top Wine Secrets To Make You Look Like A Pro
The sheer number of wines available can be positively dizzying. You might not have actually found the wine that best suits you yet. This information will teach you the basics of selecting wine so next time you buy a bottle, you can make an intelligent decision.
Wine has many beneficial properties for your health. Enjoy a small glass of wine each night to enjoy the benefits. Most doctors recommend opting for a red wine to get the most benefits. When pouring your wine after dinner, allow the wine time to breathe before enjoying your glass of wine.
Have a plan prior to picking your wine. Be sure you know which wine you're looking before to avoid getting overwhelmed by brands, varieties, and prices. Certain wines fit dinners and others better fit large parties. Knowing which wine suits your needs can help you choose a better wine than browsing and choosing something on a whim.
All wines do not taste good while at the same temperature. White wines are better when they are cold, while red wines should be a little below room temperature. Drinking them at the wrong temperature can change the way they are supposed to take, which may change your overall opinion.
A good tip if you're interested in learning more about wine is to go to as many wine tastings as you can. Wine tastings are great because they allow you to try out all kinds of wine which will help you figure out what you like and what you don't like.
If you buy boxed wine, you can filter this into a nice glass decanter to improve the way that it looks. This is a great trick that you can use if you have to serve friends at a party or dinner. This will allow you to save money while giving off an elegant image.
Get to as many wine tastings as you possibly can. Taste as many different kinds of wine as you can, and you learn a lot in the process. Not only will you learn about the various kinds of wine, you also learn about wine in general and how to learn good wines from bad very quickly. Just remember that you need to spit!
Do not limit yourself to countries that are known for exporting wines such as Spain or France. In fact, some of the best wines on the market are from Argentina or from New Zealand. You should not form your opinion of a country after tasting only a couple different wines.
If you want to visit a winery, you should know that the wine you buy and bring home will not taste like the wine you tried at the winery. The wine offered to visitors is often never put into bottles and the wine you buy will change during your trip home.
When it comes to the differences between red and white wine, one major element is how they wines are fermented and aged. Red grapes are pressed twice, releasing more tannins and brightening the color of the wine. This is what makes the color so beautiful and the flavor so bold.
Try having some merlot with your steak. The fat and umami flavors found in steak, especially medium-rare or rarer, need acidity to cut through their flavor profile. Red wine is already a popular pairing for meat. The heavier acidity and fruit of merlot can really liven up your steak dish.
There are so many different wines to taste before you discover your favorites. But, by using the advice in this piece, you can make great strides and become a wine authority. Enjoy your wine and don't overdo it.

Potatoes make such a wonderful comfort food - and potatoes and paprika are a match made in heaven! This recipe is very simple, and although it's part of Costa Rican Food month, I'm sure that similar dishes are cooked in many other countries all over the world. Because it's just a winning formula.
Although simple and easy to make - these potatoes just knocked my metaphorical socks off. This is a recipe which will go in your regular rotation, it's been added to mine. I plan to make this again and again and again!
This basic recipe can also be slightly adapted to your mood. If you want a bit of heat add some more hot paprika, if you want that smoky taste, add a bit of smoked paprika. You could also add cumin or even lemon juice for a bit of sour tang. So many possibilities! But try the original recipe first, then you can play around with it. Serve with corn tortillas and chopped fresh coriander.
5-6 large potatoes
5 cloves garlic
4 tbsp olive oil (you'll need a bit more if you aren't using a non stick pan)
1 1/2 tsp sweet paprika
1/2 tsp salt
1 pinch hot paprika (optional)
1 tsp sugar
Cracked pepper to taste.
Fresh coriander, to serve
Corn tortillas, to serve
To Make
1. Peel and cube the potatoes. Peel and slice the garlic.
2. Heat the olive oil in a large frypan (I highly recommend non stick)
3. Add the potatoes, garlic, paprika, salt, sugar and pepper.
4. Fry on a medium heat for 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Stir often to avoid sticking to the pan.
5. Serve in corn tortillas topped with fresh coriander.
Serves 4.
This month I'm featuring lots of delicious food from Costa Rica.

State School
Our mission is to inspire and reward student-centered innovation in public education. Plato believed that women are equal to males and that, despite the fact that some females are physically smaller sized or weak, some ladies are physically equal to males consequently these girls who are physically strong need to be allowed to discover the identical skills that guys do. In his book Republic Plato describes how male and female obtain the exact same education and be given the very same duties in society as offered to the male member.
Chapters from education policy authorities and practitioners critically examine the overreliance on higher-stakes testing, which narrows the content of education and frustrates inventive teachers, and consider how to restore a a lot more civic-centered vision of education in location of present dependence on questionable economistic models. Health insurance reform will simplify administration, making it simpler and far more hassle-free for you to pay bills in a technique that you decide on. Plato also emphases on women education, he consider the very same sort of education for females.
He considers education the greatest issue in human life as he mention in his book the 1 great thing". Germany, the 1st country to implement national healthcare, did so in the 1880's, decades before America would see the significant improvement of any kind of overall health insurance at all. I consider most non-Americans are startled at the opposition to universal health care in the USA.
This is an outstanding, nicely-reasoned evaluation and refutation of the arguments against universal overall health care. Plato not only look at better education for men but also believe on robust body and sound mind, for body he advocate sports and for sound mind music. For the objective of education Plato travel to Egypt and Italy, there he learnt mathematics.
My son has further experience of the French method for the reason that he moved to France to perform as an accountant. The totally free market place has carried out far more for the wellness of the entire planet than all of the government applications combined. Plato desires a location exactly where youngsters enjoy to go and remain there and they play with points which boost their education by playing. It's excellent to hear from an individual who essentially has had experience in the overall health care market and who is in a position to speak factually rather than spreading lies and rumors about the bills in Congress. The VA Healthcare program will continue to be available for all eligible veterans.
The moral of this story is NOT that the overall health insurance sector is basically a bunch of superior guys following all no way. What we have not heard are the voices of the millions upon millions of Americans who quietly struggle every single day with a method that often performs much better for the health-insurance coverage businesses than it does for them. Plato presents his tips for an ideal society in his Republic and he provided detail about the curriculum and method of education.

A barcode is a unique code that identifies a specific product. It includes a particular set of numbers, as well as a unique pattern of stripes – or "bars". This pattern enables computers and optical readers, like the ones you see at the checkout counters of retail stores, to recognize the code. The list of numbers, on the other hand, can be used for typing into a search engine, such as Barcode Live, to find info on that specific product.
Are there different kinds of barcodes?
Yes! Different countries and regions use different barcode formats. The U.S., Canada, the U.K., Australia, and New Zealand use barcodes that are called Universal Product Codes (UPCs), and most other countries use the UPC format, too. On the other hand, many retailers in Europe and other areas use a barcode format called International Article Number (EAN, since it used to be called European Article Number). Books often use their own special type of barcode format, called the International Standard Book Number (ISBN).
Where do you get your barcode information?
Our barcode and product data comes straight from a worldwide network of more than 1,500 retailers and regular users just like you. On a daily basis, companies and individual users send us new and updated barcodes with product data.
How do I add my barcode and product information?
Visit our Add Barcode page to add your product or edit the product information if it already exists.
If a barcode is not found on your site, does that mean it isn't real?
Not necessarily. Although our database contains info on millions of barcodes and products, that doesn't mean we have every single barcode used anywhere in the world. If your search doesn't return information on a certain barcode, it simply means we don't have it yet. Unfortunately, if you can't find any information in our database about a particular barcode, that means we don't know anything about that particular item.

It looks like the Spider-Man: Far from Home trailer could really premiere this weekend at Brazil Comic-Con. Rumors have been swirling since last week that we'd get our first look at the sequel really soon, but it still seems like it could be too good to be true at this point in time. Marvel Cinematic Universe fans have been waiting for the first Avengers 4 trailer, which hits theaters before Far From Home, and holds the key to understanding Peter Parker's fate.
It has been confirmed that the Spider-Man: Far From Home trailer has been rated. It clocks in at 2 minutes and 30 seconds long, which means that this will be more than just a teaser. Sony's Brazil Comic-Con, aka CCXP panel takes place this Saturday, December 8th, at 7pm GMT/2pm ET/11am PT. So, regardless if the new trailer drops or not, we will know sooner rather than later. Additionally, it has been rumored (yes, again) that the Avengers 4 trailer will premiere tomorrow morning on Good Morning America. If so, this will truly be the special week for MCU fans that was hinted at last week.
If the Spider-Man: Far From Home trailer does debut this weekend, it may only be a CCXP exclusive, much like how the first footage for Infinity War was an exclusive for D23 Expo and San Diego Comic-Con. Or, the trailer could be released shortly after its debut online. At this time, it's way too early to tell. It's entirely possible that the trailer could be made up of footage from the first installment with a hint of the sequel as well, so it might be best to not get hopes up.
Peter Parker famously didn't make it out of Infinity War alive, and many fans are trying to figure out how he's able to come back for Spider-Man: Far From Home. Without any context, it would be pretty bizarre to see him back to normal without being given any Avengers 4 information. Whatever the case may be, one can rest assured in knowing that Marvel Studios and Sony have all of these issues covered for the upcoming intense marketing campaign for Captain Marvel, Avengers 4, and Spider-Man: Far From Home.
Again, just because the trailer has been rated, it doesn't mean that the first Spider-Man: Far From Home footage is imminent. However, it would be pretty amazing if Marvel Studios and Sony were able to pull off a trifecta of trailers in one week. The second Captain Marvel trailer was released earlier this week and fans have been dissecting it and going through every frame to find connections to the rest of the MCU. As with everything having to do with Marvel Studios, none of this information has been confirmed, so it's still very much speculation at this point. You can check out the official rating for the Spider-Man: Far From Home trailer over at Consumer Protection BC.

« Novembrrr Kidical Mass: Ship Canal Trail »
We're back! That's right, after missing most of a glorious summer, our little family bike ride that could is back on track, just in time for ... snow? So says the forecast. Bah! Either way, this route is short, temperate, and will be capped by delicious warm and cold beverages for one and all.
Why this Saturday, November 19th? Because the Ship Canal Trail is done, and there's an opening ceremony, and we plan to be among the first to ride this spiffy gem on the other side of the canal from the Burke Gilman Trail.
This is another "missing link" trail, that now connects Burke-Gilman, Dexter, and Westlake with Magnolia and the Elliott Bay Trail to downtown. The Ship Canal Trail has previously been a scenic and secret trail to nowhere, but now has real utility.
We checked it out this summer when the yellow segment finished, and were delighted by a real live maritime firefighter training session on a mock ship, complete with MASSIVE PYRO!
No promises on Saturday. But it sure would be a toasty way to welcome folks to the trail. Hint hint pyro people.
Let's meet at the Ballard Library at 10am, ride through the Locks, and through Fisherman's Terminal to the 11am opening ceremony. There will be a short stretch of on-road action between the Locks and Terminal. We can do it.
Then we'll ride this scenic (in an industrial then canal sort of way) trail, and pop over the Fremont Bridge for a lunch at Fremont Brewing. We'll bring hot cider to warm folks up. Fremont Brewing is BYO food, and quite kid friendly. You can pack a picnic, but there is adjacent teriyaki, and nearby sweet and savory PIE.
Then anyone who likes can ride back to Ballard with us on the Burke Gilman Trail. This ride will be a great chance to show off your "how I keep the kids warm/dry" tricks for winter! We've got a MEC Newt Suit a la FamilyRide clan that we're liking for the wet. And contemplating hot-water bottle with waterproof-on-one-side picnic blanket for the cold.
If you don't have kids with you that day, or live in a Capitol Hill/South Seattle direction, may I suggest an alternate event? Because Cranksgiving 2011 bike ride/food drive happens to be on the same day (sorry Tom!). We really enjoyed it last year, but my kids were more totsicle than totcycle by the end of it, so I don't think we'll make it such a big loop with snow in the forecast. But you should.

Angus Steak House
Most people go to Angus Steak House for steaks. When I was last there for dinner about a month ago, F ordered a steak which was served on a hotplate with a Japanese homemade sauce. SY & I tasted a little of his steak. It tasted pretty good but I would have preferred my steak to be served without any sauce. SY & I both love steaks too, so F found it odd that we didn't order any.
Well, that's because SY & my favourite dish here is Spaghetti with Abalone and Salmon Roe! SY introduced me to this dish about 5 years ago and we've been back quite a few times for our fix. I love the buttery sauce that the pasta is tossed in and the rich saltish flavour of the salmon roe which burst in our mouths. The abalone slices are also not excessively tough and are a pleasure to chew on with the pasta. I find that the spaghetti is sometimes al dente and sometimes just a little overdone but all the same, the flavours never fail to satisfy. This is a MUST-TRY!
One of the good things about Angus is that on a busy evening, we often have a better chance of getting a table there than at any of the other restaurants on the same floor. Its not that this place doesn't serve decent food, its just that the exterior of the restaurant gives the impression that the service staff might be snooty and that the atmosphere could be imposing. However, step through the doors and one will find that the ambience is actually pretty cosy and that the clientele consists mostly of Japanese families. This place is definitely worth a try if you happen to be shopping in Takashimaya.

The Ashland University baseball team scored five runs in the bottom of the eighth inning, coming back from a 12-8 deficit to beat visiting No. 17 Ohio Dominican, 13-12, on Wednesday (May 2) afternoon at Donges Field.
It was the a crucial in-region win for the Eagles (27-17), who stopped a six-game losing streak. Just before first pitch, it was announced the Eagles were ranked No. 7 in the Midwest Region, three slots behind the Panthers (30-12). The top eight teams, including the GLIAC, GLVC and GMAC Tournament champions, will qualify for the NCAA Tournament.
Wednesday's win marked the eighth time this season the Eagles have won a game in their final at-bat.
"There's no stopping us, all we do is keep fighting," said sophomore outfielder Michael Rogers, who delivered a go-ahead, two-run double to cap AU's eighth inning rally. "Whether we're down five, six, we're just going to keep going. We know if we have one out left we have a chance to win the game."
The Eagles, who lost to the Panthers, 12-10, in Columbus last week, loaded the bases with one out against ODU reliever Tim Zeller, trailing by four in the eighth. A groundout by senior Connor Barleben brought in one run to make it 12-9. Freshman Micah Allen followed with a two-run single to the gap in right-center to trim the margin to just one run.
A walk to sophomore Carson Mittermaier put two runners on for Rogers, who came off the bench as a pinch hitter. He drove a 1-2 pitch over the head of the left fielder and one-hopped the wall to plate both runners and give the Eagles a 13-12 lead.
"I'm looking for a fastball, especially with a guy like that on the mound, who relies on his fastball and throws hard," said Rogers. "You know he's going to try to challenge me with his fastball."
Junior right-hander Chris Slavik, who came on in the eighth inning, struck out the side and walked a batter in the ninth to slam the door on the Panthers. He improved to 2-1 on the season.
ODU jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first on a couple solo shots by Justin Childers and Chris Sackett.
The Eagles answered right back with three in the bottom of the inning on Barleben's RBI single and two sac flies.
The Panthers took a 6-3 lead in the third, but Ashland countered with three in the fifth to tie the game. Senior Greg Ludwig had a two-run single that tied the game, scoring sophomore Vince Vanata and freshman Austin Eifrid.
Ashland trailed 10-6 going into the bottom of the seventh when freshman Dillon Smith hit a grounder through the hole to plate two runs and cut the deficit in half once again.
It appeared the Panthers might have put it away with two runs in the eighth, but the Eagles have proved all season that no lead is safe at Donges Field.
Junior Devin Peters got the start for the Eagles, but struggled against a tough ODU lineup. He surrendered eight runs on 11 hits in five-plus innings. Sophomore Chance Hitchcock came on in relief and worked two innings, giving up four runs.
Zeller (4-1) was charged with the loss, giving up five runs on two hits and three walks in 2/3 of an inning. Garret Sendelbach allowed six runs (three earned) on six hits in five innings as the ODU starter.
Barleben paced the AU offense, going 3-for-4 with a double and three RBI. Allen and Ludwig also drove in three runs.
The Eagles are scheduled to start a four-game series against Tiffin on Friday at 3 p.m. at Donges Field.

also working on the Quality of Care Project, which will change the way we look at
the reporting of global healthcare statistics and the quality of care available
at hospitals around the world.
The Members of the Medical Tourism Association™ agree that communication
is the key to success, particularly with respect to ensuring positive patient outcomes.
The members of the Medical Tourism Association™ have agreed to put competition
aside and work together to resolve the issues one by one and to work together to
address them as they arise. We have created a forum for communication for all of
the actors in the global healthcare environment.
Although we live in a world where information is at our fingertips, there are so
many people who lack the information that they can receive the highest quality of
care outside of their home country. Some patients in countries like the United States,
Canada, and the United Kingdom have a lack of access to healthcare due to high cost
and high wait times. Patients in some other regions as in some parts of Africa and
the Middle East do not have access to high quality of care in their own country
and need to look elsewhere. Some patients just would like to travel outside of their
country for healthcare to incorporate high quality of care with a holiday and tourism.
Regardless of the reason, patients need education and information to understand
what they should look for in finding a provider overseas and considerations that
should be taken seriously to ensure patients' safety. As insurance companies
continue to incorporate global healthcare and medical tourism options into their
benefit plans and domestic healthcare providers are required to treat patients for
aftercare when patients return to their home country, education is required to accomplish
this seamlessly. The Medical Tourism Association™ strives to provide
education to anyone with any interest in this industry using various means: the
media, conferences, and through the Medical Tourism Magazine and Health Tourism
Magazine. The Medical Tourism Magazine and the Health Tourism Magazine are bi-monthly
medical tourism and health tourism trade journals aimed at providing a wealth
of information for anyone interested in or affected by the globalization of healthcare.
The Medical Tourism Association™ is an international non-profit organization
which has been designated for 501(C)(6) status by the Internal Revenue of the United
States Government. Section 501(c)(6) of the Internal Revenue Code provides for the
exemption of business leagues, which are not organized for profit and no part of
the net earnings of which inures to the benefit of any private shareholder or individual.
The Medical Tourism Association™ (Global Healthcare Association) does not
have shareholders or investors. For a copy of the designation letter, click here.
We are a True, Un-Biased, Non-Profit Organization. The Medical Tourism Association™
, also known as Medical Travel Association, is the first member based non-profit
association created in the medical tourism industry. The Medical Tourism Association™ was
not founded by any government or governmental organization, hospital, or private
for-profit corporation, nor are we funded by or indirectly run or controlled by
any such organizations. The Medical Tourism Association™ is truly an
unbiased association influenced only by the will and intent of its members.
The Medical Tourism Association™ is the only industry organization with a
full time staff dedicated to promoting the goals of its members. We are the only
organization with staff and offices located in different regions of the world.
Our association is the only organization focusing on quality of care, transparency,
communication and education. Everything we do is in furtherance of these goals and
not to promote the interests of any private corporate or governmental interest.
Unlike any other organizations, the Medical Tourism Association™ (Global Healthcare
Association) performs due diligence on healthcare providers and medical tourism
facilitator members which ultimately works towards ensuring patient safety.
The Medical Tourism Association™ (Global Healthcare Association) has forged
strong alliances between its members. Our organization is the only association with
the capability to connect members with the largest number of media contacts, insurance
companies and other opportunities to grow the businesses of its members. We have
monthly teleconferencing to discuss the issues common to everyone involved and creating
a pyramidal structure for the growth of the industry to withstand the test of time.
The Medical Tourism Association™ (Global Healthcare Association) focuses on
education. The Medical Tourism Magazine is a bi-monthly journal that is free for
anyone wishing to receive a subscription electronically. The revenues received through
advertising are used to support the cost of producing the magazine and for increasing
the printed distribution. Other magazines and newsletters have been created specifically
to generate profits for private corporations and do not represent the industry or
the interests of the industry.
Members of the Medical Tourism Association™ speak internationally at conferences
and other venues to educate about the issues involved in the globalization of healthcare.
This includes speaking engagements for physician groups, employer groups, consulting
firms, insurance agents and brokers, and governmental organizations. Medical Tourism
Association™ (Global Healthcare Association) regularly consults foreign governments
about the growth of the industry in other countries, the opportunities created through
marketing and the benefits of ultimately improving the quality of care within their
national borders.
Many people believe medical tourism is a new phenomenon. This is just not true.
People have been traveling outside of their borders for decades. The potential for
this growing trend towards globalization is not designed to improve just the private
sector. Raising the quality of care internationally in the private sector can have
extremely positive effects on the public sector as well. The Medical Tourism Association™
connects hospitals and countries with accreditation systems making the highest level
of technology and healthcare information available to people from around the world
in both the private and public sector.
Located in West Palm Beach, Florida, USA
The Medical Tourism Association™ (Global Healthcare Association) has offices
in the following locations:
Florida, United States, Dubai, United Arab Emirates, Seoul, Korea,
San Jose, Costa Rica, Istanbul, Turkey, Tel Aviv, Israel, Buenos
Aires, Argentina, Germany, Recife, Brazil, Porto Alegre, Brazil, Athens, Greece.
We believe having our headquarters office in the United States best positions us
to further our goals of education with respect to insurance companies, employers,
physician groups and patients located within the United States. From this location,
we can easily access the American, Canadian and European public which includes the
largest growing population of patients looking for options overseas. The regional
offices in Asia and the Middle East will be organized to address Chinese, Japanese
and Middle Eastern patients which are the target markets for many of our Asian members.

wye oak + baltimore artists = beautiful music video
It's no secret that I've been crushing on Wye Oak lately. Their new album, Civilian, is on heavy rotation around my apartment, so I was excited to hear from Merge about their newest music video. The video for their song "Fish" is a collaboration between Wye Oak and local Baltimore artist Katherine Fahey and photographer Michael O'Leary. Katherine created stunning paper cuts to illustrate the song, and Michael was responsible for the photography and cinematography. The result is a really gorgeous pairing of music and art that is absolutely worth pulling out your headphones to listen and see (if you're at work; if not, crank it and enjoy). I've been hoping for something that would take the place of stop motion in the video world lately, and I think paper cuts are a strong contender. Fingers crossed. xo, grace
PS: You can check out behind the scenes photos of the video shoot right here.

The thing is, as I said before, because of the holidays there were no direct trains to Walsall. We'd have to go via Tamebridge but we'd make it for sure. It was the right train after all.
However, things took a turn at Tamebridge. The rain didn't help either and it wasn't just a little bit of rain. It was chucking it down and on top of that F.B was navigating again. She made us walk out of the station all the way round and back again. We were looking for Platform 2. It had to be somewhere. In all this commotion we got split up from each other, M.B, A and A.B were way ahead whilst Z.B was somewhere in the middle, I was round there too and F.B had managed to go all the way back to the platform. We hadn't realised that there were no trains to Walsall.
Since we'd been travelling by train for the past few days that's all we seemed to be thinking of and it wasn't until I checked the information on my phone that there was a symbol of a bus between Tamebridge and Walsall. I'd completely missed it!! How that happened, I have no idea!
Things were getting quite crazy now as we were all separated from each other and still trying to somehow stay together. Z.B was shouting F.B at the top of her lungs and I was trying to get hold of her on the phone, with no luck whatsoever. I gave up in the end because my phone was getting wet and left Z.B to carry on shouting out to F.B. Not that it was working, but it was worth a try!
A and M.B had already gotten onto the bus and A.B was trying to tell Z.B whilst the driver told A.B that she had to get on or stay behind as the coach was leaving. A.B had to think quick and got onto the bus and before the rest of us could do anything, it was gone.
F.B finally came round telling us we had to get the bus not the train, which mind you we'd figured out already. And since it was raining so much and we had no idea when the next bus was going to arrive, F.B decided to head to the office so we could wait inside. Z.B was trying to tell her it was closed but since she wears a pardah it's kind of difficult to lip read if you can't hear her. We were now stuck in the rain, freezing cold, no umbrella and soaking wet.
Luckily it wasn't long before another bus arrived and we made sure we got on it before it left us behind too. We were finally heading for Walsall and eventually made it home in one piece. And were relieved to be reunited with the rest of the girls after being separated from them for about 20 minutes or so. It was funny how we couldn't stop talking about what had just happened and everything else that had gone on. It really was a trip to remember.
We had the best time and every single experience has made this trip to London all the more memorable. We can't wait to go on another girls trip again, this time with our other two sisters as well. And do you know where M.B wants to go next? Dubai! Well, I'm up for it but we better make it to the airport on time cos my husband ain't going to be driving us all the way to Dubai if we don't!
On second thoughts, just imagine if we did..............
The End

We are in.
VW Sage now owns real estate.
I have yet to build a loft, there isn't any heat, but all my VW's are safely in the new building and I am ready to move projects forward. I have welding, painting, and the engine building stations build.
We are planning to build the loft in October, then we insulate the workshop and vola! we are in business.
This is a crazy dream, and one that I keep dumping money and energy into.
With this move I can finish Mrs. Sage's Squareback, and get the panel 64 camper back on the road.
I ripped open my ankle today on a transmission. Damn, it feels good to be back at it.

Late last week it became apparent that Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning developer and co-publisher 38 Studios was in a financial quagmire. The company missed their May repayment amount for their $75 million loan from the Rhode Island government. This resulted in Rhode Island's Economic Development Corporation swooping in to assess what was happening at the studio.
It wasn't looking good at all for the company, with their initial cheque for the repayment amount of $1.25 million being returned by the EDC after they learnt that there were no funds in 38 Studios' bank account. On top of this, all temporary staff members were let go, and those staff members who remained didn't get their salaries.
Now, however, it seems that 38 Studios has managed to pay the Rhode Island government for May 2012. This was revealed by Rhode Island governor Lincoln Chafee during a press conference. Chafee also confirmed that 38 Studios will have to secure "private capital funding" in order to stay afloat and make its required repayments. Another amount of $2.6 million is due in November, and a total amount of $12.6 million is due throughout 2013.
Interestingly, the Rhode Island governor also revealed that 38 Studios' MMORPG title, codenamed "Project Copernicus", will be out in June next year. This is, probably, the first time that a government official has provided a release window for a game. A new video of the MMO has since surfaced online and can be found below.
With their May repayment made and a new flyby clip of Project Copernicus doing the rounds, it seems like 38 Studios' future is a little more positive.

Request a brochure for more information on our wide range of adventure holidays.
If there's anybody already booked on this trip, or even just thinking about it, would be good to hear from you.
I could do with some first hand advice on the vaccinations, where to get them, how long it takes, any side affects, etc.
I got my vaccinations done, and had dead arms for a few days but nothing major.
Still would be nice to hear from anyone going on this trip. Im all booked up and can't wait.
Hi Craggs, I see the entry I did yesterday hasn't appeared so I'll have another go. I'm about to get a prescription for anti-malarials and give some thought to what to use to deter insects. Do you have info on how high we will be? There is mention of it being chilly at night which I suppose will reduce the chance of bites, but being near the river will increase it. Look fwd to meeting you. Jeff
Hi Jeff. Not sure about the exact altitude, but i'm sure its within the range of the mossies. I've still yet to get malaria tablets but the nurse advised I get the expensive ones though, (less side effects and less time you have to take them) all for about £50. I'm also taking some spray (containing deet), some for the body/skin and some for my clothes. I've been bitten through thin clothes before. So I suppose something to stop the itching would be handy aswell.
Hi Craggs, late bookings are being invited for this trip from which I saw a recent (Sep) review which I found useful, interesting oh yes, and a little scary.
You have not posted anything in the forum yet.

Souki notified the board on Feb. 12 that he was resigning as a member of the board, effective immediately, the filing said.
Souki, who co-founded Cheniere, also served as chairman and president, but was replaced in December as president and CEO by Neal Shear on an interim basis.

Acer: The company was founded under the name of Multitech in Taiwan in 1976 and renamed to Acer or Acer Group in 1987. The product range includes, for example, laptops, tablets, smartphones, desktops, monitors and televisions. Gateway Inc. and Packard Bell also belong to the Group and sell their own laptops.
While Acer still had the third largest global market share in the notebook segment in 2008, it ranked 6th in 2016 with a market share of 6% after they had continuously lost market shares.
There are dozens of Acer laptop reviews per month, the ratings are average (as of 2016). Gateway, which has an own laptop line-up, has also belonged to the Acer Group since 2007.
73%: This rating is bad. Most notebooks are better rated. This is not a recommendation for purchase.

Tracking Who's Unfollowed You on Twitter via Qwitter
Twitter marketing tools that feed your ego and help you gain as many followers as you could possibly want abound, but none are quite like Qwitter. Qwitter is a service that allows you to track who has unfollowed you and guesstimate why they unfollowed you. After you sign up for Qwitter, you receive an e-mail every time an individual unfollows you.
The developers of the Qwitter service set it up to help you understand why certain individuals unfollow you. Assuming that twitterers may unfollow you as a result of a tweet you posted (there may be other reasons), Qwitter informs you who unfollowed you and what was the last tweet you posted before he or she stopped following your tweets. It can be quite the eye-opening experience when you have 50 to 100 people unfollow you based on one tweet.
You can get started using Qwitter by following these steps:
Open your browser and go to the Qwitter sign-up page.
The Qwitter login page opens.
Enter your username in the Twitter Name text box.
Leave off the @ for example, enter kyleplacy.
In the Email Address text box, enter the e-mail address where you want Qwitter to send your update e-mails.
Click the Join Qwitter button, and you're done!
Don't get depressed when individuals unfollow you. You may be getting quite a few e-mails from Qwitter in the next few months because you're still figuring out the best practices at marketing on the Twitter platform.
Create a separate folder in your e-mail program for the Qwitter e-mails and change your e-mail account's setting so that all messages from Qwitter automatically go to that folder. You may feel like Qwitter is spamming you because of the number of notices about individuals unfollowing you, and you can more easily manage the amount of e-mail if you don't have to sift through it all in your Inbox.
It may sound discouraging to know every time someone unfollows you because of a specific tweet or some type of content you shared, but you need to know what content generates bad responses from your Twitter followers.
If two or three individuals unfollow you after a tweet, they may not have done so because of that tweet. Don't worry when a few people unfollow you. Look for instances when a big group of people decide to stop following you.
If you see a trend in unfollowing based on the kind of content you're sharing, be very sure that you try to mix up the content. If Twitter users don't want to hear about what you're eating or what breed of dog you want to buy, take the information and use it to improve your approach to content creation. You aren't going to please everybody, but the more people who can become potential customers, the better.

The year 1962 saw Christo and Jeanne-Claude barricading a Paris street with 89 rusted oil barrels to protest the Berlin Wall, constructed in 1961. And that was just small potatoes compared to their later works. For 10 weeks in 1969, an entire Australian coastline was wrapped by the artists in a million square miles of glistening erosion-control fabric and 35 miles of rope. In 1991 they erected 3,100 umbrellas across sister sites in the US and Japan. The 20-foot shades remained in place just over three weeks. In New York's Central Park in 2005, they installed over 7,500 saffron-curtained "gates" snaking 23 miles along tree-lined walkways. "The Gates" stayed up for just 16 days.
Here in the Land of Enchantment, we're accustomed to nature on a vast scale—that endless vault of sky, mountains purpling into the sun-drenched distance. But much of the art inspired by our limitless surroundings seems content to fit on a 4-foot canvas. Christo and Jeanne-Claude have spent their career creating artworks that temporarily transform, enhance and reimagine enormous natural or public spaces in breathtaking—and often controversial—ways.
The large-scale environmental work of this artistic team has always been ephemeral. That's part of its wonder (and probably a key to its popularity). But you can go right now to the Albuquerque Museum (2000 Mountain NW) and see an extensive collection of the beautiful conceptual sketches, collages, sculptures and photographs that formed an integral part of the original works' life-cycles, particularly since they were so often sold to finance the multimillion-dollar projects themselves. Christo & Jeanne-Claude: The Tom Golden Collection is on display until Sept. 14.
The world-renowned Christo himself is coming to Albuquerque to present a lecture on two works in progress—"Over the River: Project for the Arkansas River, Colorado," currently caught up in state and federal court cases, and "The Mastaba: Project for the United Arab Emirates"—on Friday, Aug. 22, from 6 to 8pm. Though Jeanne-Claude passed away in 2009 while these two pieces were still in the planning stages, the projects continue the shared vision of Christo and his wife of more than half a century. The lecture costs zilch, zip, nada, but you've got to reserve your seat starting this Friday, Aug. 1, by calling 338-8760. Limit two tickets per person. Considering the vastness of the art, the evening is bound to be an intimate window into the work of decades—Christo will even sign up to two books purchased at the museum that night for those who attend the lecture.

It was my friend Kasey's birthday this weekend, and in honor of that very special event, Kasey, her boyfriend David, Mr. Cleaver, and I all went down to Navy Pier.
As some of you may know, Mr. Cleaver and I are moving back to Maine this summer and our time in Chicago is quickly dwindling.
With this in mind, we've been constructing (a mostly mental) list of things we have to do before we leave Chicago. The list includes things like see a show at Steppenwolf (done - Dead Man's Cell Phone), visit the Shedd Aquarium (not done), see a Cubs games (done, but like to do again), eat Katie Cakes at Taste of Heaven (never too many times for this), and so on.
One of the things that has been on my "Chicago-to-do List" ever since I moved to the city was to ride the Ferris Wheel that towers over Navy Pier. At 140 feet in diameter, and a seating capacity of 240, this baby is big - though not as big as the original Ferris Wheel that was built in Chicago for the World's Columbian Exposition in 1893 - which stood 264 feet and could carry 2,160 people. (Thank you Devil in the White City)
Well Saturday was finally my day to check that one off the list and was well worth it. The view are amazing:
Now it must be said that Mr. Cleaver is not a fan of heights. So here's me waving at Mr. Cleaver.
And here's Mr. Cleaver waving back:
In addition to our jaunt on Mr. Ferris' wheel, our party of four ate a great lunch at Charlie's Ale House and played a rousing gold of Micro Golf.
Now I say micro and not mini because seriously, look at the size of each of these (18) holes.
My favorite part of the game was making up random "pars" for each hole. I think five was the highest and the average was two or three. Let it be said though, that this is a speedy game, which throngs of small children on either side.
Not that you can't take time to make that perfect shot :)

Suggestions needed
It looked great for the holidays but we are at a loss for what to put in it now. Do any of our readers have any fun suggestions?
18 comments:
pinecones? :PReplyDelete
i think the design is more powerful when it is empty. Leave it empty most times, until you find that something special once in a while to place in it and enjoy.ReplyDelete
a yellow lemon would look good sometimes.
I'd suggest lemons or pomegranates. If you don't want the recurring expense of replacing fresh ones, there are some incredibly realistic artificial ones for sale now that look so real you can't tell the difference unless you pick them up. And nothing says "mid-century" like artificial fruit. Everyone had a bowl of fake apples and bananas and a ceramic lavabo on the wall full of fake grapes.ReplyDelete
glass fishing balls.ReplyDelete
I agree with Laura, Glass Fishing Globes would be a neat look! Or maybe just one big round globe?ReplyDelete
I think the obvious move would be to use Star Wars action figures to reenact the scene at the Great Pit of Carkoon. (I have a spare Boba Fett if you need one!)ReplyDelete
I like the glass fishing globe idea, too, or the fake lemons. We always had fake grapes around the house....I thought they were rubber. Glad you like your present and I made the blog!!!ReplyDelete
Aunt Sue
The glass fishing balls sounds like a neat idea. We will have to look for some. Thanks for all the suggestions especially the Star Wars one.ReplyDelete
I remember those grapes!ReplyDelete
I just discovered your blog and I have to say I love it! We just bought a mid-century home and the outside looks quite similar to yours. Can't wait to see what you guys do.ReplyDelete
Maria - Thanks for the kind words. I would love to see a pic of your house one day. I know our style is popular here in Atlanta, mainly due to the same people building all of them, but I haven't come across one somewhere else. Good luck with the new home.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJanuary 7, 2012 at 10:57 AM
Could you fit a clear glass bowl (or even clear plastic tub) into your Satellite, and float some blooms on water? The idea is for the clear bowl to be practically invisible.ReplyDelete
I would find some of those old glass grape bunches.ReplyDelete
btw, this is my old house! I lived there from 2001-2003. Second owner. The only renovation I started was to pull up the carpet in the two guest rooms and to add more gravel to the roof. If I had stayed I wanted to open the guest bedroom windows into glass doors, put a nice railing on the carport roof and have a front patio out there.
Love what you did with the front doors. I remember looking at the house when it was last on the market and hated that they had taken down the fretwork screen that originally lived just inside the front door entrance. I think it was being stored in the basement. With the double door, I'm not sure you can reinstall it but it was cool.Replies
wonderdallas - That's exciting to hear from a former owner. The previous owner didn't do much with the house before he sold it to us so it was in crappy shape. Do you have any pics of the divider by the front door? Was it original to the house? We still have it and trying to figure what to do with it. I want to make sure it gets used somewhere in the house at some point.Delete
I'll look around for pics. It was before having a digital camera! lolReplyDelete
Originally it was a divider between the front door and the living room. It was attached to the floor and first ceiling beam (thus the uneven length of the upper posts). It was just aft of the faux double door section. I guess he took it down when the bamboo floors were installed and now that you have an actual double door, that first beam now hovers above the new door section.
I guess you could reinstall it on any beam.....but because of the new height of the floors, it would have to slide a bit further into the room. The problem, if I remember the beam pattern correctly, is that all the other beams intersect with windows.....so that wouldn't work. If it were me, I'd either have a welder extend the upper poles a bit and reinstall inside next to the new door (what, a foot to the left from it's original postion?) and have it connect to the tongue and groove ceiling OR cut the top poles even and have it flanking the right side of the downstairs sliding glass doors. So, if you are standing at the bottom of the stairs, the wet bar is to your left, glass doors directly ahead and the fretwork screen just to the right of the door. That would give the seating area a little separation and with a cool lamp (and end table) to it's right, the screen would look so cool as people walked up to the front door (looking down at the backlit pattern).
I found a pic....what email address can I send it to?ReplyDeleteReplies
Exciting! Email me at fugitoid at gmail dot com.Delete
Just out of curiosity, what color was the house when you lived in it? When we were replacing the front doors you could tell the house was a dark brown at one point. The doors themselves were once black and then there was a salmon color underneath that. It also looked like there was some sort of diamond pattern on them too.
It's so much fun to find out about the history of our house. Thanks!

Teacher Feature: Charlotte Gallagher/
Yoga is a lifelong PRACTICE. It's about self-care and empowerment - that YOU have the power, the choice, and the strength to transform your life in a whole new and healthy way. Yoga is our connection to the truth.
My Yoga Love Story
I grew up with anxiety issues and was prescribed medicine off and on. Yoga, mindful breathing techniques, and practicing positive self-talk and gratitude changed my life. Now the moment my bare feet touch my mat, I know everything is going to be all right.
Every time I come to my mat, it's a healthy time-out from the sometimes craziness of life. I can clear my mind, hit the reset button, and create a more positive relationship with myself, leading to a full and wholesome life off the mat. Plus, it feels so freakin good!
My Sources for Inspiration
Two of my favorite yoga teachers are Rolf Gates and Sadie Nardini. I draw a lot of my inspiration and mental food for thought from Gates book Meditations from the Mat. Nardini is my role model for the Vinyasa style I teach in my classes. She has tons of videos and workshops to watch via Facebook, Powhow.com, and YouTube.
My Yoga Challenge
One struggle is my tight hamstrings and quads. "Tight" being subjective of course. I am athlete and used to run all the time, so I don't have the ideal "yoga flexibility" to go "all the way" in some postures. I'll catch myself getting angry that I've reached my edge, but want so badly to go farther. But it's okay to be uncomfortable sometimes. It's not the end of the world. That's where taking deep breaths helps me let go and be in the moment. There's probably some stored emotions held in there, which I need to patiently work through. It's not easy, but that's why it's called a practice!
After teaching for over four years, I am still learning new lessons from other teachers and my students. This inspires me to dive deeper into not just the physical benefits of yoga but the mental as well. I share my discoveries about yoga's many benefits with my students to hopefully create a ripple effect to others who need yoga in their life.
My Life Beyond Yoga
I enjoy riding my bike on the Riverwalk, paddleboard yoga, and doing Parkour/ninja training at Level Up Parkour here in Columbus. I love the latter, because it involves using your own body weight, jumping over boxes, and swinging on bars like you're a kid again! It brings me back to my roots and boosts my self-confidence.

- Neat to use
- Didn't remove messes as well as some products in GHRI tests
The Cerama Bryte Ceramic Cooktop Cleaning Kit is an entire cleaning system, complete with a scrubbing pad and scraper tool to help remove soil from your cooktop. These extras make this cleaner pricier than the other products that we tested, but this was the only kit to contain a scraper tool in the bunch. However, even after using the enclosed scraper, we found that the Cerama Bryte wasn't quite as thorough at removing messes as other cleaners in our test. The label also lacked rinsing directions.
Type of cleaner: Cream
Scrubber included: Yes
Reviewed: March 2011
Price When Reviewed: $14.00
