Row housing starts hit 20-year high
Posted by Arshad Rashed on Monday, November 22nd, 2010 at 9:44am.
Mutli-family home starts in the Calgary CMA in October made up 56% of all starts, led by the highest monthly total of row housing starts in 20½ years.
Construction started on 438 multi-family homes last month, compared to 230 starts last October, continuing a 10-monthstreak of monthly year-over-year increases and it's fair to say builders had their starts in a row last month."A majority of the multi-family starts can be attributed to row housing, as the 250 row housing units started in October represent the highest number of row starts for any month since May 1990," says Richard Cho, CMHC senior market analyst for Calgary

Lunch @ Portico
June 11, 2015 in European by thywhaleliciousfay
I have read lots about Portico from fellow blogger MyFoodSirens's blog entries and instagram pictures. And the opportunity came to check out Portico when my girlfriends decided to meet for lunch on a Saturday for a change. We normally meet for dinners. And I must say it's so hard to find an Italian restaurant for lunch on Saturdays. Oh wait, I am the only one who feels that way? Hmm…
To say the address to Portico as 991B Alexandra Road isn't exactly wrong. However it's better to say Portico is located at 991 Alexandra Road, Block B. To enter the estate, one should walk along Alexandra Road after alighting the train from Labrador Park MRT station. And what looks like an industrial estate is actually a development comprised of 9 blocks of office space, etc. And yes, Portico is located at Block B.
And from the menu (pages 1, 2), we ordered:-
1) Luncheon meat fries, $8 (above) – With yuzu mayo.
2) Salt and pepper squid, $8 (above) – With roasted garlic aioli.
3) Bisque of lobster, $18 (above) – With butter brioche, whole tiger prawn. This was rich and good.
4) Wild mushroom risotto, $26 (above) – With eryngii mushroom ragout, tempura enoki mushrooms.
5) Seasonal seafood capelini aglio olio, $28 (above) – With garlic chips, crispy shrimps. Generous serving of small octopus, mussels, clams, firefly squid roe and a prawn.
6) House coffee glazed Saint Louis pork ribs, $33 (above) – Served with baked potato fan, sour cream, chives, crispy bacon, and charred broccoli with gruyere cheese. This was probably our least favourite of the 3 mains. While the meat was tender, it somehow lacked the wow factor. And it's a pity that the melted cheese on the brocooli had hardened when it was served to us.
7) Deconstructed blackforest, $14 (above) – 70% dark chocolate mousse, edible hazelnut soil, cherry coulis, caramel ice cream. I first got to try chef Nixon Low's creation at Petit Menu, so it's definitely a must to order this when chef Nixon is now one of the chefs behind Portico. However, this did not impress as much. Probably too many eateries doing deconstructed cakes.
8) Latte, $7 (above)
It was a pleasant lunch for us ladies. Food was good while service was not too bad. The waiting staff would check on us every now and then. I'm actually curious about their omakase menu where one would sit at the bar counter and interact with the chefs. Oh yes, one gets to watch the chef prepare the dishes and be served personally by them too. However, it seemed like Portico has removed the omakase menu cause I can't find any information from their website anymore. So hmm… But there're a few other desserts on the menu which I am interested to try. So I guess I be back to try their desserts. =)

Year 2 - Pentecost Drama
Date: 1st May 2018 @ 3:51pm
In Year 2 we have been learning about Jesus' ressurection and the Pentecost. We have worked as a class to act out the story through role play and drama.
Using scripture taken from Act:1 - 2 we have acted out how the disciples felt sad, lost, heartbroken and alone until a powerful gust of wind came to them with a flame sent as a mesage from Jesus, just as he had promised. The flames swirled above the disciples heads and eventually settled empowering them with joy, peace, calm and the skill to speak different languages. This meant that the disciples could go forth and spread the good news about Jesus and share how God loves us all and sent his son to us.
As a class, we discussed that the disciples did this so that we can be hear now 2000 years later hearing the amazing stories of Jesus and without the Holy Spirit being sent from Jesus to them, they would never have been able to do this.
Please have a look at the beautiful photos of our drama that we took showing our learning, enjoyment and understanding of this special time.

The Thing: Assimilation was a haunted house attraction which first appeared during 2007's 'Halloween Horror Nights' at the Universal Studios® theme park in Orlando, Florida. In 2011, following the release of the prequel film in theatres, HHN Orlando featured a "The Thing" house, and HHN Hollywood held their own version of "The Thing: Assimilation". The attraction utilized a variety of mechanical effects, animatronic puppets and live actors.
The Thing: Assimilation (2007)
Located at the Universal Studios Orlando® theme park, guests walked through Outpost 3113, a military facility where the remains of U.S. Outpost 31 were brought for scientific research. Passing by a large Unimog truck, they entered through a long plastic tunnel that connected the outside world to the sterile environment of the labs. Immediately, the blare of the alarm and flashing lights indicated that all was not well. As they passed through the entryway, they were startled by a shotgun-wielding soldier bursting from his hiding place in a security office locker. He attempted to communicate the danger in the labs through the intercom on the other side of the plexiglass window, but was distracted by something in the hallway behind him. He fired his shotgun at the mysterious creature behind the wall, only for an unseen force to pull him back out of sight.
Guests passed by the frozen bodies of R.J. MacReady and Childs and entered an autopsy lab. The body on the table had burst open, and a massive multi-tentacled organic mass stretched from its chest; beginning to spread across the ceiling. As the body and tentacles twitch and shake, a soldier appears from an alcove and begins firing his assault rifle at it. Guests passed by several doors, which opened to reveal scientists begging for help before being pulled back by tentacles. Passing through another plastic tunnel connecting the labs to the rest of the base, mutated Thing dogs began to push their heads through tears in the plastic and bite at the guests.
In the storage room, a spider-head clung to the fence as an infected scientist reached for the guests. A body pinned to the fence that divided the room in half had a Venus Flytrap-esque growth emerging from its chest, which shook and hissed as they walked by. Proceeding onwards, the rec room seemed empty except for a lone soldier, armed with a pool cue from the nearby table and barricading himself with a vending machine. Suddenly, strobes flashed and a massive Thing with a dog's head growing from its chest appeared from a dark corner. In the larger warehouse, the UFO from Outpost 13 was seen hanging from the ceiling, along with a taller humanoid thing perched on a crate. A soldier appeared from behind a stack of crates and fired at it over the guests' heads. Guests entered a kennel, where the growling and barking of scared dogs could be heard. In the final room, a gigantic Thing had taken over the entire back wall, tentacles and limbs emerging from the mass of flesh. As guests exited, a loud air horn sounded and air blew at the exit door.
The Thing: Assimilation (2011)
Located at the Universal Studios Hollywood® theme park, guests entered to find themselves in the middle of falling snow as they approach Thule Station. Entering through a damaged doorway, they entered the facility's rec room. The lights have gone out, apparently due to power loss, and as they pass by the pool table Jonas appears with a Centipede-Thing attached to his face. Carter appears from behind the bar, his flamethrower sparking as he attempts to get it to work. Passing into the next hallway, strobes flash as an animatronic four-legged fusion of Split Face bursts through a hole in the wall. The second of the Centipede-Things has been pinned to the wall with an axe. An infected Juliette attacks from another room. Through another hole in the wall, Henrik Larsen is seen being impaled by a harpoon-like tendril and pulled into the wall away from the line.
Entering the laboratory, the burned remains of the Original Thing is lying on the table, Henrik's corpse staring out from its autopsied belly. Another infectee appears from a side room and another from behind a filing cabinet, and the Thing on the table heaves. Proceeding onwards, the kitchen seems unoccupied until another Thing bursts through the double doors. Strobes flash as Kate Lloyd appears from her hiding place among the shelves and fires a pistol at it, driving it back. In the radio room, Juliette appears from behind a wall to attack. Colin, unable to handle the stress, slits his throat and sprays blood on the guests.
Continuing into the storeroom, a partially-transformed team member leaps between the shelves and leans down to swipe at the line below him. In the storage room where the original Thing was held, it has broken from its block of ice and clings to the ceiling as Derek Jameson fires a shotgun at it. Another infectee is hidden behind some barrels on the other side of the room. Passing through a short hallway that smells of oil, the guest enters the inside of the crashed UFO that brought the monster to Earth. A massive Thing attacks from a small alcove as Carter attempts to use his flamethrower on it, and the infected Juliette appears for one final scare.
- The 2007 house was one of Halloween Horror Nights' earliest haunted houses to make very heavy use of non-human scare-actors, with almost every scene having some kind of puppet or animatronic.
- In the 2007 house, the assault rifles used by the soldiers were a mixture of sound effects and strobe lights on the muzzles of the guns.
- In 2009, the event's icon house, Silver Screams, contained a room based on the film.

Cyborgs are: created implantable fitness tracker smaller than a grain of rice
Fitness trackers, ECG sensors and other useful sensors have only one (but quite significant) drawback — they can be easy to forget to put on hand or charge. What if you place the device inside the human body? Sounds like the plot of a work in the style of cyberpunk? Not at all. It very soon will be able to make almost anyone through a miniature implanted trackers from IOTA Biosciences.
IOTA Biosciences — this is not another start-up, organized in one of the business incubators. For its creation are the scientists from the University of California at Berkeley Jose Carmena and Michel Maharbiz working in higher education the improvement of the performance of miniature electronic devices and their application in medical practice. And practices of scientists seem to be very interesting.
"The original idea was to have a free-floating electronic microparticles, adjustable RF energy. But we are faced with a problem: radio-frequency radiation over a large wavelength requires a fairly large antenna to receive."
In the end, scientists did not want to abandon such an ambitious idea and one day found a solution to the problem — you need to use the ultrasound.
"You're probably familiar with ultrasound as a diagnostic tool, but the approach IOTA Biosciences has with him is not so much in common. In order to transmit a signal, the ultrasound was perfect: wavelength in this case is measured in ppm meters, so it is possible to capture — and capture very effectively. Thus, this may be enough to allow to get the device to work remotely." — quotes the words of scientists by the publication TechCrunch.
Created by the sensor is so small that it can be attached to a single nerve or muscle fiber. Through repeated messages of pulses from the sensor can be read. For "installation" does not require serious surgical procedures. According to scientists, everything is done through a small laparoscopic incision. And, if desired, the device can be "easily removed".
Now experts are ready to present their development on the court the FDA for approval of production technology, the beginning of which is planned for next year.

Brooklyn jurors today will begin reliving the horrific details in the death of an emaciated little girl whose child-abuse case appalled the city.
The murder trial of accused monster mom Carlotta Brett-Pierce is set to open in Brooklyn Supreme Court, where jurors will hear how she allegedly strapped her tiny daughter, Marchella Brett-Pierce, to a bed and denied her food and water, leaving her skin and bones.
The 4-year-old weighed just 18.9 pounds — about half the size of a normal girl her age — when her battered body was found inside her family's dingy Madison Street apartment in Bedford-Stuyvesant in September 2010.
She was suffering from child-abuse syndrome, including drug poisoning, blunt-impact injuries, malnutrition and dehydration, according to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner.
Marchella's 6-year-old brother, Tymel, may be a key witness at his mother's trial, where he is expected to testify about seeing his mom smack his sister with a belt and jam pills down her throat.

SSFILOPERR, Error while doing oooo operation on file ffff
MUPIP Error: This operator log message indicates operation oooo on snapshot file ffff failed. Note in certain timing situations this action might be reported to the operator log after the snapshot consuming process (say MUPIP INTEG) has finished with the snapshot file, in which case it's harmless. If the consuming process issues a REGSSFAIL error, then it was definitely prevented from completing its tack because of the SSFILOPERR.
Action: Analyze the operation and the file characteristics and take appropriate action to clear the problem.

NATICK — A Winthrop man's bid for freedom that started in Natick on Sunday came to an end 17 miles later in Grafton when his SUV ran out of gas, authorities said.
After his 7 a.m. arrest in Grafton on the Massachusetts Turnpike, German Iraheta Jr., 39, apologized and admitted to drinking heavily, according to a Massachusetts State Police filed in Framingham District Court on Monday.
"Man-to-man, my life is a mess and I have ruined everything," said Iraheta, according to the report. "I was out last night partying for St. Patrick's Day and drank a lot, a real lot."
A state trooper was on patrol on the Mass. Pike on the westbound side when he saw a swerving Honda CR-V hitting speeds of 80 mph and forcing other cars to swerve to avoid being struck, police wrote in the report. The trooper stopped the SUV.
Iraheta smelled of booze and seemed confused, the trooper wrote in his report.
"He fumbled with the center console area and then slammed his foot to the floor," the trooper wrote in the report. "The tires squealed and the SUV took off. I was struck by the side of the car as it took off."
The trooper chased the SUV as other troopers joined in. The SUV hit speeds as high as 120 mph before it ran out of gas in Grafton, the trooper wrote in the report.
Police arrested Iraheta, of 10 Vine Ave., and charged him with driving under the influence of liquor with a license suspended for drunk driving, driving under the influence of liquor (third offense), driving to endanger, possession of an open container of liquor and failing to stop for police. They also cited him for speeding and a marked lanes violation.
According to the report, Iraheta's license was suspended on Jan. 8.
At Iraheta's Framingham District Court arraignment on Monday, Judge David Cunis ordered him held on $7,500 bail. Iraheta is due back in court on April 16 for a pretrial conference.

Discover the Beauty of Japan
Heading to Japan? We're about to tell you 5 great places to check out while you're there.
This city is the country's capital, and is probably the most well-known. So we'll get that out of the way first. With all it's eccentricities and eclectic variety, Tokyo is easily one of the more exciting modern cities. The area is know for its cutting edge architecture and wonderful traditional Japanese cuisine. Also, the nightlife is spectacular, and it's said that the city comes alive with all colors of light after the sun goes down.
This is another culturally rich Japanese city and is a must see on our list. The area features many historical areas that still remain, and the inner workings of the city seem to expand to the point that one could explore for weeks. Some things you can see here are gardens, old-world craft shops, restaraunts, and much more.
If you're a horticulture enthusiast, you'll particularly enjoy Kanazawa. Considered to be one of Japans Three Great Gardens, it's home to Kenrokuen Garden, a beautiful and tranquil garden that has been part of Japan's history for many years. Nearby that, you can also visit Kanazawa Castle, as well as Chaya-Gai, which is the geisha and teahouse area in the city.
Let's say art is more of your thing. You don't want to miss Naoshima. Riddled with art galleries galore, the city holds some of the works artists like Claude Monet, and Walter de Maria. The Art House Project, and Chichu Art Musuem are two areas to stop in and see some of these impressive collections, amongst many others.
The historical value of this city is immense. Here, you can see the A-Bomb dome, a strong and sobering reminder of the horrors that happened there in 1945 when the United States dropped an atomic bomb. Thankfully, things have much changed since then, and the city if brimming with friendly residents and its own culture.

India is sometimes referred to as the 'Land of the Maharajas'. The word inspires images of what is at once fantasy and incredible reality – kings and princes, magnificent palaces, lavish lifestyles, luxury cars, custom made jewellery, hunting and polo. A clutch of India's renowned palaces have been converted into breath taking guest residences, recalling the luxury and atmosphere of another era, today.
This tour is centered around four palace hotels – Nadesar Palace in Varanasi, Rambagh Palace in Jaipur, Umaid Bhawan Palace in Jodhpur and Lake Palace in Udaipur – each of them utterly unique and integral to their locations. Portraits of history, royalty and culture emerge larger than life.

When your sex life dries up, the romance starts to dissipate,....
In this video, Arica Angelo tackles a touchy topic, Mental Illness in Relationships.
We are learning the importance of talking about mental health, mental illness and mental disorders, but what do we do when we're in a relationship with someone who is struggling with mental illness?
For many couples it can be .....
Being desired in your marriage is so imperative to keeping the romance and your sex life alive.
In "How to Be Desired By Your Wife Again", Arica Angelo shares with you 3 things that you will want to implement ....
"Just Let It Go" WTF??
Do you want to know what makes me want to slowly wrap my pretty little hands around someones neck and squeeze??
This expression and advice, "Just let it go."
Anytime I hear it, after screaming belligerently in my head, I then began to ask the person with the profound and most unhelpful advice, a couple of questions.
Have you ever felt misunderstood by your spouse or significant other?
Like no matter what you say or do, they don't seem to get it or get you for that matter?
Tragedy, Joy & Grace
What do we do when our worlds collide with tragedy and joy within a 24 hour period? That's the question I was doing my best to process and live out last Friday.
I woke up very excited, as my love and I were getting ready to pack to head out for a weekend of wine tasting. That is until I looked at my phone. The news alert showed "Shooting in Santa Fe, Texas" and that was enough for my heart to drop.
Growing up down the road from Santa Fe, Tx, this news headline was way too close to home. I called friends and my mother to see if anyone we knew had been struck by this tragedy.
No matter how long you've been in your marriage or relationship, when there's a breakdown in communication, all hell seems to break loose.
Two people who love each other, all of the sudden go from characters in a Disney fairytale, to full on Game of Thrones mode. Who will win?

In this video, Arica Angelo touches on a delicate topic, Trauma and Relationships.
As her former work as a dating coach, Arica noticed a similarity between peoples greatest struggles with meeting the opposite sex and/or future relationships, were often linked back to a past ..
Relationships are a lot of work, I mean duh, c'mon we all know that. But what about when our relationships become boring?
You know, you do the same damn thing every night. A little Netflix, a little dinner and then you're both off to bed.
Not near as exciting as the beginning of the relationship right?

About our home
Built in the 1920s, our house has been a grocer's shop, a sweet shop, even a hairdressers. Now it is an attractive home just minutes from the sea.
Downstairs there is an open-plan kitchen, dining room and sitting area which opens out onto an attractive sunny garden. The former shop at the front of the house is a cosy living room with a large corner sofa and large TV (with Amazon Prime, Sky and Netflix). Upstairs there are four bedrooms: one with a kingsize bed, the second (my daughter's) with a single bed and the third (my son's) with either a single bed or a smaller, junior bed. There is a comfortable double futon in the attic (my stepdaughter's room). There is a bathroom with a bath and shower upstairs and a second WC downstairs.
We have plenty of toys (Lego, playmobil etc) and books at your disposal. Living just five minutes from the sea we have plenty of things for the beach - including a two-person inflatable dinghy, a beach trolley and various buckets, spades and water pistols. We have two bikes which can be used (one is large and a second, smaller ladies bike).
We also have a friendly cat who uses the cat flap.

"Nous avons passé 15 jours dans la coquette maison de Hilary et David à Whitstable. La mer toute proche, le centre-ville et ses charmantes boutiques nous ont séduits. La maison est très bien équipée en jeux pour enfants, confortable et facile à vivre. De belles escapades à Canterbury et Dover sont accessibles depuis Whitstable."
"Nous avons passé une excellente semaine chez Hilary et David. Leur maison est confortable et très bien placée (à 5 mn à pied du centre, de la mer ou encore de la gare). Whitstable est une ville avec beaucoup de charme, avec de belles balades et de très chouettes boutiques. On a également beaucoup apprécié Canterbury et broadstairs. Hilary et david ont été très accueuillants et nous ont bien conseillé. Un très bel échange. -------------------------------------------------------- We spent a wonderful week with Hillary and David. Their home is comfortable and very well located (5 minutes walk from the center, the sea or the station). Whitstable is a city with lots of charm, with beautiful walks and very cool shops. We also enjoyed Canterbury and broadstairs. Hilary and David were very welcoming and well advised. A beautiful exchange."
"We've had the opportunity to exchange with Hilary and David very recently (for one week). It has been a very good experience as their house is well located (not far from Canterbuy, the sea coast, London… ) They have been great exchange guests in every way: very responsive and helpful during the preparations of our exchange. Everything was in perfect working order and they left instructions such as maps and recommendations. Our house was very clean when we came back home. Thank you once again Hilary and David. I highly recommend you a home swap with this family !!!"
"It was such a pleasure to exchange homes with these family, their home is beautiful and we can't recommend visiting the town of Whitstable highly enough, it is such a lovely place to base your holiday in and also use as a base to explore the south east of England. We felt at home immediately and they left a wealth of information regarding staying in the house and the local area. We were also very happy to come home to a spotless house and would not hesitate to recommend these family to anyone wishing to exchange homes with them, they treated our home with the upmost respect and care."
"We've just returned from a really perfect home exchange to Whitstable for Easter 2014. Whitstable is such a charming little coastal town, we fell in love with it immediately. Its a great base to discover Kent, the surrounding castles and gardens, and the coast. Hilary's house is located 5 minutes from the beach and the town center, a perfect location. The house is large, very cosy and we felt right at home. The cats were very easy to care for, had no trouble showing us what they needed and where they wanted us to do. On our return our house was as we've left it, so all in all it was everything you could ask for in a home exchange. Highly recommended :-)"
More about us
We both work as university lecturers in medieval history. We enjoy visiting castles, old towns and old churches. David likes military history while I am a triathlete so swaps with interesting places to run or swim is a bonus. Our children enjoy art galleries and shopping (Emma, 2001), swimming (Cecily, 2011) and dinosaurs (Lawrence, 2014).
We live in a lovely seaside town and spend a lot of time on the beach so we're often looking for something a bit different - a holiday in the mountains or the country perhaps.
We really enjoy the ethos of house swapping and have had wonderful holidays over the past few years. It's been a perfect way to travel with small children and we've greatly enjoyed exploring places we wouldn't have found by ourselves.

Where is it?
Whitstable is a beautiful coastal town, full of little alleyways, beach huts, pubs and clapboard-clad fishermans' cottages. The busy harbour with its fishing boats and whelk and oyster stalls is a popular attraction and the beautiful pebble beach is perfect for crabbing and sea-combing. There are nice walks along to Tankerton and Seasalter or sit and watch the sunset over the sea from the famous Neptune pub. The High Street has a bohemian charm with independent craft shops, galleries, delicatessens and boutiques trading side-by-side with butchers, greengrocers and bakeries selling local produce. There are some excellent restaurants from those with Michelin stars to excellent tapas and wonderful fish restaurants. There is plenty to amuse the children: sailing, cycling and lovely parks.
Margate and Thanet: Further along the east Kent coast is Margate with sandy beaches and the new Turner gallery. Margate has a retro feel with plenty of vintage shops and the new theme park Dreamland.
Canterbury: A fantastic medieval city with cobbled streets and an amazing cathedral. It is just seven miles away and there's even an off-road cycle path from Whitstable along the old railway line.
There are wildlife parks, zoos and impressive castles (e.g. Dover) to explore. Enjoy picking fruit in Kent's many orchards or walking over the Downs.
And if there's not enough for you in Kent, there's always London. Whitstable has direct trains to London St Pancras (1 hr 16) and London Victoria (1 hr 30) and the station is just 5 minutes from our house.

"However, nothing appears on its own, and in future, we must venture new cultural roads," says director of culture Freddie Davidsen, Silkeborg Municipality.
"We shouldn't imitate others but rather be prepared to put new faces on culture. We have to find our own unique style and we are well underway. We must retain the events which have formed a traditional part of the city's identity for years, such as the regatta, the Riverboat Jazz Festival, the Nye Hede Rytmer rock festival, the country music festival, the toy theatre festival and in recent years, also the musicals held every year. We must also take care of our cultural gems such as Museum Silkeborg, KunstCentret Silkeborg Bad and Museum Jorn but we must also look elsewhere and dare embrace experimental and different cultural offers where we make room for those who want to try new types of culture."
Existing settingsAmong other things, Freddie Davidsen mentions the multi-year project, Levende Byrum (Living Open Spaces), supported by the Danish Ministry of Culture, as well as experimental events such as By i Mørke (City In Darkness) where the lighting was turned off and other light sources used to create culture and living, constantly changing pieces of art. He also mentions the Street Plaza with the skaters which is developed into Skvulp (Splash) as more activities are added and the water is included for exciting living rooms full of people of all ages.
"The settings exist and we must be better at using them. And in 2017, we will be part of Aarhus, the Capital of Culture, which ill include the entire region and attract loads of events to the city," says the director of culture.

Quantico is one of those efforts that may suffer from its various connections to other shows – read: writers/producers whose previous work doesn't necessarily see the value in avoiding melodrama at any point at all.
The premise is an interesting one, and there's nothing wrong with the highs and lows of throwing young-ish people into close quarters with each other, and you have to love feints-within-feints, but much of Quantico is constructed with a, "Well, if some is good…" theory in mind.
Alex Parrish (Priyanka Chopra) is one of a group of recruits hoping to become FBI agents, and her own version of not being absolutely honest about why she's there might have been enough, but before long Alex has been framed for a terrorist attack, and she's got to figure out how to get out from under a thoroughly-planned setup… unless she did it. So spins the show… mostly.
The show flips back and forth in time, from showing up as a recruit, to fast-forwarding nearly a year to the attack. Alex has to figure out who was involved, and looking back at her time as a recruit is going to be key. Thus, we get to look at all the unhidden mysteries of a gaggle of Type-As trying to sabotage each other, usually without quite looking like they're making any such effort, and just as often hoping to mask their sociopathy. Most of this doesn't make it any easier to figure out who might have had some connection to a terrorist attack.
What the show manages to do surprisingly well is pull the audience into the truly curious question of ferreting out secrets from within a group of the most scrutinized people around, all of whom nevertheless have a fair amount to hide, and are being trained to hide it. It may dunk the idea in more pheromones than are necessary, and some of the characters aren't offered the chance to develop beyond their stereotypes, but overall it's a show that knows how to keep you guessing, and want to keep guessing.
As the season continues, it begins to shine even more, just by keeping itself from falling into the ditch of all the layers it has to sell. Every answer leads to more questions, and there isn't much to carry the whole thing along, beyond Chopra, who is holding her own in a nearly untenable position. With nearly too many plots to keep in the air at once, Chopra has to continually connect with the audience, even as things don't go her way, which is a trickier bit of acting than people probably realize. It almost get to a point where every line of dialog has two meanings, as the plots swirl and dance.
While the "steamy seduction" ABC wants to sell probably helps the ratings, it doesn't exactly work any positives for the show in other ways, except that at least there's (usually) a break from the endless back-stabbing and secret reveals.
Bonus Features:
The set isn't exactly loaded with bonuses, but it has some nice treats for fans.
Welcome to Quantico is a short featurette that is almost "video diary" fare, as the cast and crew give something of a behind-the-scenes look at being behind the scenes, discussing their time on set, training, working with "twins," and other bits of dialy life. It's actually a pretty good piece, if you're already a fan, though it doesn't quite explore as much as you'll probably hope.
"Run" Video Commentary is another featurette, but with a bit of a twist, as it is a split-screen commentary with Creator Josha Safran and several of the stars. I'm not sure that this is where I want all commentary efforts to go, but this one was actually pretty good, and I'm not even in love with the show. This one seems to be a good example of the medium helping to create the product, because if you take in a lot of similar efforts, you'll know that there's a lot more going on here, and it's easier for them all to break in.
Who Did It? False Leads, Theories and Red Herrings is a pretty straightforward effort that simply has the cast reflecting on the fact that they didn't know how the thing was going to end either, and the theories they had during production. It's a fun idea, and good for a laugh.
Finally, the release also includes Bloopers and Deleted Scenes.
Take a look at a few special treats from the release below, and pick this one up.

The Zac Brown Band's timing in Jacksonville couldn't have been better. They're proud Georgia boys, and it's Florida vs. Georgia weekend in a city overtaken by college football-induced state pride from both sides.
Photo Gallery: See images of the fans and the band.
In front of a packed house divided by a rivalry that already had people riled up, the band played at the Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena on Friday night. A little "Chicken Fried" as a game precursor was like bacon drippings on the beans. Gators and Bulldogs fans were even able to agree on something: They dig the Zac Brown Band.
Here's a rundown of the concert:
The band: Congenial and pleasant-natured. It's called the Zac Brown Band, but Brown doesn't demand all the attention. They seem like a cohesive band, not one that just backs up Brown.
There wasn't much chatter, and it's clear they're all about the music and enjoy playing live. They have a jam band approach that, at times, can drag on (it probably wouldn't in an outdoor festival atmosphere), but the freedom it offers them as musicians is overall a plus. Whereas many big concerts are more like choreographed productions, these guys like to change things up.
The set-up: Nothin' fancy. Just a center runway, an elevated level for the percussionists and pianist, and a few big video screens. What was unusual for a country music concert was that it was standing-only (no seats) and shoulder-to-shoulder on the floor.
Best song: "Colder Weather." Between frenzied jams, Brown somehow managed to slow things down to capture the lonesome nature of the song.
Crowd favorites: "Toes" and "Chicken Fried" had people singing gleefully.
The crowd: Full of college football fans gearing up for the Florida/Georgia game and having a grand time. A side comment: Gentlemen, please keep your shirts on. Most of you are not ripped. Thanks.
Surprise: At the end of the set, Brown started rapping. Considering that he's a country music/jam rock musician, he didn't sound too bad. Then, amid an ecstatic and somewhat confused crowd, a surprise mystery singer came out, made his way down the center runway and was gone in a flash. He may be the band's bodyguard - that's the word among some diehard fans.
Zac Brown's last words: "Go Dawgs."
Opening acts: Sonia Leigh is like an anti-Taylor Swift. Or an anti-Faith Hill. She defies pretty much everything about glossy, beautified, blondes acting as puppets to sell a celebrity image and highly produced music - a Nashville specialty that permeates the country music industry.
Whether she and her band's music even falls into today's country genre is questionable. With her raspy, deep alto and nasally drawl, perhaps alt-country. She rocks out; that's the simplest way of putting it.
The first act was Nic Cowan and his band, whose music fits nicely into the tropical island-inspired country music that has become so popular. He sounded as if he had a cold, though, and looked beat. His voice sounded tired, so it was hard to tell if he and his group were really ready for an arena-sized venue.

The original M-43 service shoe that serves as the model for these was issued in 1943, with the rivetless version starting in 1944. The basic specifications for this boot were very simple. Composition sole, welted construction, natural combination-tanned rough-out cowhide, all built up on the Munson last with an unstructured toe. The goal was to have a cost-effective, durable shoe for all forms of combat conditions. Multiple variants popped up across the armed forces, including version for the Marines and the Navy, all with the same basic template.
John Lofgren set out to make the ultimate version of this boot from the very best components. The upper is constructed from unlined heavyweight Horween rough-out natural Chromexcel leather. USA-made Vibram 705 soles with 700 heels are held on with a British-made Goodyear welt.
They are built around the same Munson last as used in the originals, which makes for a comfortable, supportive boot.

The Electronic Health Record ( EHR ) is a longitudinal electronic record of patient wellness information generated by one or more brushs in any attention bringing scene. This scene may include all the playing cardinal administrative clinical informations that are related to that patients care under a peculiar supplier, every bit good as patient demographics, advancement notes, jobs, medicines, critical marks, past medical history, immunisations, research lab informations and radiology studies. The HER potentiates the streamline of the clinician 's work flow and has the ability to promote other care-related activities in a direct or indirect manner through several interfaces, including evidence-based determination, support, quality direction every bit good as results describing.
In the developed states, the Electronic Health Record ( EHR ) is considered to be the nucleus of the health care substructure. The bringing of health care today is undergoing a major alteration throughout the universe in order to present schemes for national Electronic Health Record ( EHR ) systems. Accessibility of patients ' records between the health care professionals across the Earth will be of great attending and value in the close hereafter.
Electronic wellness records ( EHRs ) have been proposed as a sustainable solution for bettering the quality of medical attention. The successful national schemes taking to set up a proper EHR are assisted by assorted factors such as communications substructure, interoperable criterions and execution programs.
There is no uncertainty that in any lack of the indispensable information about the personal inside informations of the patient, different types of drugs prescribed, lab trials, radiological studies, and other therapies will take to misdiagnosis or mistreatment.
Bahrain and some of the GCC states has taken a important measure in supplying services online for the population to execute assorted undertakings with the aid e-government. Those services include paying measures, renew paperss, submit applications, book assignments for ID and some limited health care services. The great value of such on-line services opens doors for more desires as the being of such inaugural stairss put the present proposal in context.
In this paper, we propose that Bahrain needs an electronic wellness records ( EHR ) system with possible interoperability with other GCC provinces. In Bahrain, there are 3 chief governmental infirmaries ; largest is Salmaniya Medical composite ( SMC ) , 21 public wellness centres ( HCs ) , Bahrain Defense Hospital ( BDF Hosp ) and many other private wellness attention suppliers ( Hospitals and Clinics ) . We will besides discourse the demand to make full in the spread of EHR between the GCC provinces. Accessing the patient 's history and full medical informations can cut down the cost of patient direction while exchanged between those states. The characteristic of health-related information, particularly the medical history, is in discontinuity and lacking of coherence. This is a serious obstruction to accomplish optimum wellness attention services.
Presents, the status stands on the antique manual paper work and physical filing system. All files are shop in big shelves in the filing room of governmental infirmaries and HCs. Patients are normally assigned to their addressed HC where their files are kept. Everyday the files of the appointed patients are carried by from the filing room and back at the terminal of the twenty-four hours by the nurses who are seen forcing large supermarket-like streetcars full of files. Patients most of the clip spend hours upto whole waiting to see their physician. Absence of the concerned carrying nurse, loss or supplanting of the file will take to more waiting clip. Occasionally some of the documents of the advancement sheets can be torn or lost by transporting the files all over the infirmary or while exchanged between the wellness attention suppliers or infirmaries which can do tonss of incommodiousness for the patients and physicians and lead to negative deductions on the proficient facets of intervention.
Since many developed and developing states have already developed a good structured EHR, we propose a nation-wide, on-line EHR system costumed to the demand of the Kingdom of Bahrain with possible implementing similar system in other GCC states for future interoperability.
The execution of EHR and interoperability are faced by many challenges in footings in proficient and human resources. The package has to be really specifically designed for the organisation with easy handiness and use. There is no uncertainty that set uping a proper EHR with interoperable system has great advantages over the old paper record. Creating and pull offing such wellness engineering among the GCC states will be of great importance. Due to the fact of increasing nomadic society such as frequently single traveling or patient 's exchange between these states.
Literature Reappraisal:
An electronic wellness record ( EHR ) is an official wellness record for an person that is shared among multiple installations and bureaus. Digitized wellness information systems are expected to better efficiency and quality of attention and, finally, cut down costs. Among other types of informations, an EHR typically includes: Contact information, Information about visits to wellness attention professionals, Allergies, Insurance information, Family history, Immunization position, Information about any conditions or diseases, A list of medicines, Records of hospitalization, and Information about any surgeries or processs performed. [ 1 ]
EHRs are the inevitable following measure in the continued advancement of health care that can beef up the relationship between patients and clinicians.A The information, and the seasonableness and handiness of it, will enable suppliers to do better determinations and supply better attention. A For illustration, the EHR can better patient attention by:
Reducing the incidence of medical mistake by bettering the truth and lucidity of medical records.
Making the wellness information available, cut downing duplicate of trials, cut downing holds in intervention, and patients good informed to take better determinations.
Reducing medical mistake by bettering the truth and lucidity of medical records. [ 2 ]
Many people in the US health care industry and the imperativeness use the footings electronic medical record ( EMR ) and electronic wellness record ( EHR ) interchangeably. However, these footings describe wholly different constructs, both of which are important to the success of local, regional, and national ends to better patient safety, better the quality and efficiency of patient attention, and cut down health care bringing costs. EHRs are reliant on EMRs being in topographic point, and EMRs will ne'er make their full potency without interoperable EHRs in topographic point. [ 6 ]
The electronic medical record ( EMR ) is the tool that promises to supply the platform from which new functionality and new services can be provided for patients. Physicians are expected to document brushs they have with patients to guarantee important information for decision-making is recorded and actions taken are besides recorded. Documentation is besides required as an archival record of what happened in instances of difference. To a great extent, physicians resent the undertaking of certification, as it detracts from their primary undertaking: taking attention of patients. Doctors besides resent the duplicate of attempt required with certification, as every medicine that is written on a prescription tablet, every lab trial ordered, every X ray ordered has to be re-written in the chart to keep a good record. Communication between practicians is hard as in many instances the information collected is fragmented, often excess and voluminous. Finally, doctors are invariably inundated with new information and have no tools to assist them integrate new techniques and interventions into their daily activities, other than utilizing their memories or holding to tote around big text editions. [ 5 ]
Clearly, the EMR ( used by doctors in their offices ) and the EHR ( used by wellness systems to convey and pull off wellness attention informations ) are complementary engineerings. One without the other does n't supply much benefit. The faculties required by an EMR include: programming, patient enrollment, documenting patient brushs, composing prescriptions, managing paperss, requisitioning and having lab and diagnostic imagination studies, pull offing interoffice communications, clinical determination support and charge. The faculties required by an EHR are: Authentication of patients and suppliers, research lab consequences describing, drug claims adjudication, diagnostic imagination coverage, hospital discharge sum-ups, secure messaging and clinical determination support. [ 5 ]
Historically, the first known medical record was developed in the fifth century B.C. by the early Grecian doctor Hippocrates, besides known for the Hippocratic Oath ( 400 B.C.E ) ( The Leapfrog Group,2004 ) . Hippocrates prescribed two chief features for the medical record: ( 1 ) it should accurately reflect the class of disease, every bit good as ( 2 ) it has to bespeak the likely cause of disease. Although these ends are still pertinent, modern EHR systems at the top of that can besides supply the clinician with extra maps that flow from the benefits of efficient and rapid cybernation [ 3 ]
The thought of entering patient information electronically alternatively of on paper – the Electronic Medical Record ( EMR ) – has been around since the late 1960 's, when Larry Weed and his group, at the University of Vermont, a collaborative attempt between doctors and information engineering experts, introduced the construct of the Problem Oriented Medical Record ( POMR ) into medical pattern. Larry Weed is considered to be the first who presented and described the construct of computerized/ electronic medical records. Weed described a system to automatize and reorganise patient medical records to heighten their use and thereby take to improved patient attention. Besides, in the 1960s, the Mayo Clinic began developing electronic medical record systems. [ 4+5 ]
In 1970, the POMR was used for the first clip in a medical ward of the Medical Center Hospital of Vermont where a touch-screen engineering had been incorporated into informations entry processs. Over the following few old ages, all drug related information were added to the nucleus plan in order to let the doctors to look into for drug actions, doses, inauspicious effects, allergic reactions and interactions. At the same clip, diagnostic elements and intervention programs for over 600 common medical jobs were devised.
During the 1970s and 1980s, several EMR systems were developed and further refined by many different academic and research centres. The hospital-based system " Technicon " and Harvard 's COSTAR ( the Computer Stored ambulatory Record ) system had records for ambulatory attention. The HELP system and Duke 's 'The Medical Record ' are illustrations of early in-patient attention systems. Indiana 's Regenstrief record was considered to be one of the earliest combined in-patient and outpatient systems.
With progresss in computing machine engineering and diagnostic applications during the 1990s, EMR systems became progressively incorporate and more widely used among clinicians. In the twenty-first century, more and more patterns are implementing electronic medical records. [ 4 ]
By and large, electronic wellness records are the most common Fieldss that are remaining at the top of the states ' precedence lists around the universe to develop an indispensable substructure for national wellness information, such as, Canada, Australia, England, and USA [ 7 ] .
As of 2005, the National Health Service ( NHS Executive, 1998 ) in the United Kingdom is holding one of the largest countrywide EMR undertakings. The NHS is tageting to hold 60,000,000 patients with a centralized EMR by 2010 ( illustrated in Figure 1 ) . In the Canadian ( Healthcare Infoway, 2007 ) state of Alberta, the Alberta Netcare undertaking is a large-scale operation, an EHR system. [ 8 ]
Many research workers have published documents in the country of EHR and the positive impact on wellness attention systems. Hayrinen et Al. ( 2008 ) explored a reappraisal of the research literature on EHR systems. The chief end of this paper was to happen out how EHRs were defined and structured every bit good as their content and use with their impact. In order to that they studied four electronic databases: Pubmed/Medline, Cinalh, Eval and Cochrane. The writers coming from Finland, found that despite the construct of EHR comprised a broad scope of information systems, really few researches offered clear descriptions of nomenclatures used for EHR or the system construction. EHRs were implemented in primary, secondary and third attention, and informations were generated in EHRs by different groups of wellness attention professionals. This paper besides studied the quality of the information and found that in several surveies the usage of an information system was contributing to more accurate certification by wellness attention professionals. The quality of information is an of import component in patient attention, but EHRs add value to the patient attention by supplying of import information for secondary intents, such as wellness policy planning.

Catherine M. et Al. ( 2008 ) studied a national study on EHR in ambulatory attention ( published at www.nejm.org on June 18, 2008 ) . The survey was conducted in USA in order to measure doctors ' acceptance of outpatient electronic wellness records, their satisfaction with such systems, the sensed consequence of the systems on the quality of attention, and the sensed barriers to acceptance. This national study was conducted in late 2007 and early 2008 included 2758 doctors which represented a response rate of 62 % . In refer to a definition for EHR which was based on adept consensus, the writers determined the proportion of doctors who were utilizing such records in an office scene and the relationship between acceptance and the features of single doctors and their patterns. This paper came with a decision that doctors who use electronic wellness records are really happy and satisfied with such systems as they believe that those systems improve the quality of attention. However, as of early 2008, electronic systems had been adopted by merely a little minority of U.S. doctors, who may differ from ulterior adoptive parents of these systems. [ 9 ]
Daniel Deutscher et Al. ( 2008 ) studied 21,523 grownup patients ( average age_50.6 old ages, SD_16.3, range_18-99 ; 58.9 % adult females, 41.1 % work forces ) who were referred for physical healer direction of neuromusculoskeletal upsets. This paper had 2 ends, foremost to depict execution and integrating of electronic functional position outcomes into an electronic wellness record ( EHR ) for the publicity of clinical pattern betterment procedures and 2nd to analyze the consequence of ongoing results informations aggregation in a big physical therapy service in relation to patient and clinic load. The decision indicated that everyday aggregation of result informations is realistic in a big public physical therapy service and can be successfully integrated with EHR informations to bring forth a valuable clinical pattern betterment platform for service rating and results research. Engagement and completion rate ends of 90 % and 65 % , severally, look to be executable. [ 10 ]
William Ventres et Al ( 2006 ) believed that merely small is known about the effects of EHR specifically on physician-patient brushs. Based on that position they did an ethnographic analysis survey with aim in order to place the factors that influence the mode by which doctors use the EHR with patients. The writers came up with decision showed that presenting EHRs into pattern influences multiple cognitive and societal dimensions of the clinical brush. It besides brings into focal point of import inquiries that through farther enquiry can find how can EHR optimally used to heighten curative relationships. [ 11 ]
A.Jalal-Karim et Al. presented many surveies in the field of EHR and health care system. In one survey in
A.Jalal-Karim et Al. ( aˆ¦aˆ¦aˆ¦ . ) focused on the influence of following elaborate health care record on bettering the quality of healthcare diagnosing and determination devising procedures. The writers believed on how greater sharing of more elaborate wellness attention information has the potency to better the quality of patient attention instead than minimising the current system into Drumhead Patient Record merely. This paper came to a decision that sharing more elaborate wellness information between health care professionals has got a positive possible impact to significantly better the attention provided to patients. The questionnaires study every bit good as the literature reviews used in this research showed that sharing of detailed health care records through integrated health care system can heighten clinicians to supply more efficient attention to the patients who can have health care services from different suppliers. Healthcare organisations require a well construction system which provides more efficient and accessible method of a complete health care in order to assist clinicians to entree to the needed critical sections of electronic patient records at different degrees, increase analyst productiveness, and derive more visibleness and control over the costs and quality of health care system operations. Besides that, an advanced storage and informations direction environment is an of import component required for clinicians in order to acquire an efficient and dependable entree to detailed patient record. [ 12 ]
Another survey by A. Jalal-Karim et Al. ( 2009 ) proposed an EHR system in the Kingdom of Bahrain through concentrating on the challenges and chances. The questionnaire resulted in that EHRs can hold a immense positive impact on the wellness attention system in Bahrain. IT can do information faithfully available and accessible to wellness attention suppliers, gettable at anytime and at every phase of the wellness attention proviso concatenation. That could be easy achieved in a potentially well-integrated system in a little state such as Bahrain. Besides the smooth flow of patient information will reenforce and back up determination doing on the portion of all clinicians, contribute to a civilization good wellness attention pattern every bit good as cut downing clip and costs. [ 13 ]
Healthcare professionals and clinical research workers are seemingly struggle in sharing electronic patient records among assorted health care system locations. The interoperability criterions are considered to be the chief challenge faces healthcare suppliers in order to portion patient 's records. A.Jalal-Karim et Al. ( 2008 ) presented an overview of the significance evolved Electronic Health Record 's with chief concentrating on the interoperability criterions which are being developed. The writers concentrated on chiefly four criterions that are taking the leading: HL7, DICOM, ISO/TC 215, and CEN TC 251 criterions. This paper came up with a decision that the important Electronic Health Records are extremely turning and adopted by many states to be shared among the bulk of health care professionals. That will hold a good impact in every turning networked environment to accomplish complete, fast and particularly easy entree treating with demoing high consideration for the confidentiality of patients information. Interoperability subjects often become highly a proficient issue as it is concentrating on how clinical information is created, stored, and shared between assorted systems. To show a complete electronic wellness record, these systems must be connected, therefore easing authorized health care suppliers to entree required healthcare information. Due to this enlargement and requirement for successful deployment of appropriate EHR, relevant criterions are basically desired to enable EHR information to be shared whenever and wheresoever needed. However, due to the increased planetary patient mobility, interoperability criterions based on and supported by planetary understandings on sharing EHR can play a important measure towards bettering health care safety, quality, efficiency and cost provided to consumers. [ 14 ]
In a white paper entitled Health Informatics – Requirements for an Electronic Health Record Architecture ( 2005 ) published by the Australian Standards Bureau, a complete architecture and methodological analysis for EHRs in Australia is outlined. Organizations such as the Department of Health ( South Australia ) , Engineers Australia, Health Information Management Association of Australia and the Health Insurance Commission were represented in the cooperation commission who wrote the study. The study starts with an interesting note: 'Standards are populating paperss which reflect advancement in scientific discipline, engineering and systems. To keep their currency, all criterions are sporadically reviewed, and new editions are published. Between editions, amendments may be issued. Standards may besides be withdrawn. It is of import that bargainers assure themselves they are utilizing a current criterion, which should include any amendments which may hold been published since the criterion was purchased ' .
The ISO ( International Organization for Standardization ) has guidelines for EHR criterions. The ISO, which is considered as a world-wide federation of national criterions organic structures, has the end of puting all sorts of criterions for international application. The ISO approaches the definition of EHR in two facets, the signifier and construction. The ISO emphasiss on the issue of interoperability which is the individual most of import feature of the EHR in the signifier of ability to portion EHR information between different authorised users. Harmonizing to the ISO, there are two chief degrees of interoperability of information: functional interoperability ( ability of exchange of information ) and semantic interoperability ( consistence of defined constructs ) . The 'Integrate Care EHR ' harmonizing to the ISO is defined as 'a depository of information sing the wellness position of a topic of attention in computing machine processable signifier, stored and transmitted firmly, and accessible by multiple authorised users. It has a standardised logical information theoretical account that is independent of the EHR systems. Its primary intent is to back up go oning, efficient and quality integrated wellness attention, every bit good as incorporating information which is retrospective, coincident and prospective ' .
In the white paper Toward Health Information Liquidity, Penfield et Al. ( 2009 ) studied the success of integrating in bing systems. The writers concluded that while HIT was indispensable for supplying high-quality wellness attention. Information engineering ( IT ) entirely was non plenty and that preparation every bit good as the information flow issues need to be tackled.
Hostgaard and Nohr ( 2004 ) who focused in their survey on the Danish wellness attention system, explored the spread of execution of the wellness information system in Denmark. They besides studied the importance of the construct of alteration readiness-research ( CRR ) . In a broad ranging survey including questionnaires and development of survey theoretical accounts, the research assessed employee inactiveness and deficiency of computing machine accomplishments in relation systems, with immediate deductions for work flow. They decision was that such hindrances have lead to the successful acceptance of merely few of the Danish governments ' recommendations sing EHR systems, and that employees ' fright of looking stupid left much to be desired.
Gans et Al. ( 2005 ) surveyed a nationally representative sample of medical group patterns to measure their current usage of IT. The writers concluded that acceptance of EHRs is come oning easy, at least in smaller patterns, though a figure of group patterns plan to implement an EHR within the following 2 old ages. However, the procedure of taking and implementing an EHR appears to be more complex and varied than the writers expected. This paper suggests a demand for greater support for patterns, peculiarly smaller 1s, in this pursuit if the benefits expected from EHRs are to be realized.
In an interesting survey entitled Paper Versus Computer: Feasibility of an Electronic Medical Record in General Pediatrics, by Roukema et Al. ( 2001 ) , the writers stated: 'The execution of EMR systems promises important progresss in patient attention, because such systems enhance readability, handiness and informations quality. Structured informations entry ( SDE ) applications explained by Roukema et Al. ( 2001 ) can motivate for completeness, provide greater truth and better telling for seeking and retrieval and permit cogency cheques for informations quality monitoring, research and particularly determination support. A generic SDE application ( OpenSDE ) to back up papers of patient history and physical scrutiny findings was developed and tailored for the sphere of general pediatricss ' .
Burt and Sisk ( 2005 ) looked into the greater usage of EMRs, in which they believe it has the potency to better and advances the quality of medical attention. It besides has become a end of the U.S. disposal at the clip. They go on: 'According to the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey, merely an norm of 17.6 % of doctors reported usage of EMRs in their office-based patterns. The acceptance rate did non increase from 2001-2003.
Practices with more doctors and those owned by wellness care organisations ( HMOs ) were significantly more likely to utilize this engineering, but use varied small by the features of single doctors, the pattern 's range of services or the pattern 's beginnings of gross ' .
Many IT writers have commented on the issue of EHR systems and their execution. Walsh ( 2004 ) , mentioning to the UK health care system indicated, 'the clinical serviceability of electronic records systems is peculiarly relevant with the recent assignment of service suppliers to implement the National Integrated Care Record Service for the NHS as serviceability besides affects patient attention ' . On the issue of serviceability, Zitner ( 2006 ) had this to state, 'Usability concerns whether an information system is structured so that users can acquire an reply to suit their intent ' . Laerum et Al. ( 2003 ) remarks have direct application to the state of affairs in Bahrain: 'The effects of presenting an EHR system and taking the paper-based EHR might depend on the size of the infirmary, nature of work at the section, functionality in the EHR system introduced and readiness, ability and willingness of the infirmary organisation to accommodate to the alterations introduced ' .
Development of electronically linked patient records or Electronic Health Record schemes ( EHRs ) is a precedence for authoritiess in many states, including Australia, as portion of a vision for future wellness attention services utilizing call centres, web-based patient information and telehealth. [ 15 ]
Questionnaires were distributed to doctors in SMC and assorted HCs in Bahrain. That was conducted by 2 ways ; by e-mailing the electronic nexus of the questionnaire to those doctors to be solved on-line on Google physician and besides by personal meeting and managing the difficult transcript for immediate response. The information analysis and reading was carried out on the footing of the information provided. The questionnaire addressed several issues, in the format of the closed-end in different types ; multiple pick, dichotomous, Likert graduated table every bit good as evaluation graduated table. by of both graduated graduated table inquiries and open-ended inquiries. Participants will be encouraged to talk freely about the thought and supply input about their attitude sing the possible execution of an EHR system and other specific countries like barriers to execution and their possible function in such a system.

Small Success Thursday
My name is Sherry and for those who don't know me, I'm a mother of ten and freelance writer in my spare
time. (Well alright, I write to avoid housework whenever possible. It's my semi-virtuous method of slumming).
I've agreed to host Small Successes Thursday. It will be a regular weekly feature of this blog. This is the new spot for anyone grappling with the meaning of life or cleaning of laundry. No promises on my take being the last word on either subject.
To participate, just write up a list of 3 of your recent Small Successes and post it on your blog along with the Small Successes button. I'm working on creating a button for you to access with the appropriate non tech looking user friendly link.
But in the meantime, email me and I will email back the code for the button if you want to use it.
Also, if you don't have a blog, you can share your Small Successes in the comments. To get us started, I will share my small successes for this week:
1. I mailed a birthday present to my niece who turns two this Friday.
2. My husband and I went on a date to see a movie! Granted, it was Thor and I did make up 50% of the female population but visually, it has some beautiful moments. Good Summer Mental candy.
3. Exercise is returning to my routine. Today, I went for a little walk with my younger four. It's a start. Progress, not perfection as they say.
Now it's your turn. I promise to visit each blog that leaves a link and leave a comment.
Finally, I look forward to seeing how you triumphed this week!

It looks like we're both getting into walking. I wonder who has the more difficult task in walking. Me with the spastic 19 lb dog who tries to yank my arm out of it's socket or you with four little ones. I'm hoping that I will not only get into a good routine of taking a daily walk but will also train the dog to walk properly on a leash in the process. If I don't succeed, someone will be very sad when the new baby is born and he finds himself left behind when I go for walks.

Thor was fun. I enjoyed it but then, I am a girl who would go to see Thor and be psyched about it. My husband and I met because we collected comic books and that fundamental level of geekiness has never left. So if you are a fan of Marvel comics, the Xmen, Iron Man, Spiderman movies, LOTR, Startrek, old, new and otherwise and will even sit through the truely dreadful Star Trek movies, and you just want some fun eye candy summer movies, it's a good date flick.

First visit to your blog! I love it. Thank you for taking the job of SSThursday. I look forward to the successes of the week. Makes for a clean break to motivation with the family on the weekend.
I can relate to walking, I am trying to do the same, although in Sunny South Florida, it's super hot, so the evening are my time to walk with my puppy. Wish some of the moms lived closer, it would be nice to walk and have a cup of coffee with the moms on this list. You all sound so interesting and wonderful. God bless! =)
p.s. Thank you again for hosting!

So glad to be here! Thanks for the welcome!
1. I have gone to yoga 3 weeks in a row on Tuesday and Thursday!
2. Class trip was successful today!
3. Calling in "sick" tomorrow from school. I have been hemmen and hawing about this for a couple of weeks now. I decided I need a mental health day.

Mary B Of course it counts! and Joan, it sounds like you are having an awesome week! I love yoga but somehow forget when I don't do it how much fun it actually is.
P.S. To everyone, if you got a comment from Smwbmpfjm --that's me, Google for some reason had resorted to using a defunct email address of mine as my identity.

Thank you for hosting! With a new little one in the house, I often think I don't get much done. Small Successes helps me reflect upon and realize I am still getting things done, even if they are small little things.

I've just linked!
I, too, need to improve on exercise. One way? I've added it to my son's reward charge - get healthy exercise every day. Of course, who is usually with him when he does it? Me! I can't let him miss out on a chance for a star sticker, so it's getting me out there. We rode bikes this week.

Re: Let all MPs decide freely, Editorial Feb. 21
Let all MPs decide freely, Editorial Feb. 21
The debate over whether Liberal MPs should be allowed a free vote on physician-assisted dying has so far ignored a crucial detail: the will of the Canadian public.
A recent poll we commissioned Ipsos Reid to conduct suggests that 85 per cent of Canadians support the Supreme Court's decision to decriminalize assisted death. Approval is strong in every region of the country and among supporters of all the major federal parties. (Some 87 per cent of Liberal supporters back the ruling, by the way.)
So if Parliamentarians reject legislation that honours the wording and spirit of the Supreme Court's decision — or pass bills that don't meet the ruling's standards — then they will have run afoul of the Charter and the wishes of the vast majority of voters.
Free vote or no free vote, this is not an acceptable outcome.
Shanaaz Gokool, CEO, Dying With Dignity Canada, Toronto
MPs should not be voting their conscious but the will of their constituents. That's who they are there to represent. I really don't care how my MP personally feels on the matter, I expect her to follow the wishes of the majority opinion in the riding.
Alan Edgar, Burlington
In demanding a free vote on the issue of assisted suicide, the Star editorializes that "If ever there was an issue that calls for MPs to examine their consciences and vote according to their personal values, this is it."
Curious, the Star did not extend such liberality to would-be candidates who had examined their consciences and would have voted according to their personal values with regard to abortion. Indeed, the Star lauded Justin Trudeau when he barred such would-be Liberal candidates from seeking office.
Democracy has many faces, some of them ugly
Raymond Peringer, Toronto
Our MPs should also follow their common sense: reject this bill, and instead provide more palliative care.
While physician-assisted dying offers a fantasy of dignified death, consider that this will be provided within the context of our overburdened health care system, not a private boutique Swiss spa. Our context consists of crowded waiting rooms, specialists with long waiting lists, and overworked family doctors, all urged to be more efficient.
Procedures are routinely bumped when emergencies arise. Whoever requests this procedure will have eligibility assessed by one or more strangers; another will do the deed.
In contrast, palliative care offers emotional and physical comfort. The best possible quality of living is provided by caregivers who have chosen this career and are prepared to form a relationship with the patient, at home or in hospices.
Patients and their loved ones benefit immensely. Our MPs should show true leadership: choose the natural, effective, non-violent option.
Dr. Janice Halpern, Toronto
Why suggest we overload the health care system with palliative care, making it more difficult for seriously mentally ill citizens to access assisted death? The mentally ill should have the same unhindered choices as other citizens, without the pressure by others to choose palliative care over a painless death that seems to have acquired a negativity in some circles.
June Conway Beeby, Kingston

Ex Social Democrat/Lib Dem politician David Owen on Corbyn becoming PM:
I think it's certainly a possibility. I believe he is different person from the old Trotskyist that people thought he was. Thirteenth law of British politics, you can't be a Trot and an allotment holder. They share things; they share their seeds and their spades and they have this narrow strip of land. And I think he has shown a likeability.
