Celebrating 15 Years In Business

October 2003 – October 2018

It all began in October 2003 in a 12 m2 office space in Eschborn near Frankfurt / Main. Over the next 15 years, we have become a reliable partner in used machinery for the pharmaceutical, cosmetics, food and related industries. With more than 1000 machine sales in more than 50 countries on all continents of the world, we are one of the leading companies in our field. Milestones of recent years were certainly the founding of Hauser Technik GmbH in 2007, which laid the foundation stone in the transition from "standard machine dealer" to complete service provider offering "everything for the machine", as well as the relocation in 2016 to our new, modern office and workshop facilities. With a strong and dedicated team, we are confident that as we go forward we can further expand our position in the market. At this point we would like to thank all our customers and suppliers, without whom such a development would not have been possible.

Just recently, the picturesque Tumalog Falls (also called the “Toslob Falls” or “Mag-ambak Falls”) was discovered. It is situated in the town of Oslob, Cebu where the famous Whale Shark is also located. It is just about 20-30 minutes away from the whale-watching site. This immaculate nature attraction is truly breath-taking.

Though Tumalog Falls was only discovered recently, more and more visitors are coming to explore it. At the entrance, a natural pool will delight a visitor. Hundred year-old trees still grow in the area giving the place a truly primeval appeal. The falls itself provides a humbling impression as the down pouring of fresh water forms a cascading motion like a rainfall.

Going to the falls will truly require an adventure as the road going there seems to be quite steep but the magnificence of the place can surely compensate the effort. The place is indeed a must-see especially for people who want to have a moment to commune with nature.

NSW Health currently employs approximately 5,500 junior doctors at an annual cost of over $900 million, to provide direct clinical care of patients, under the supervision of senior doctors, in public hospital and health facilities within NSW. The majority of junior doctors are simultaneously engaged in postgraduate medical training and working in positions that meet the requirements for specialty training.

The recruitment of junior doctors, primarily undertaken through a bulk recruitment campaign, has a number of unique characteristics that differentiate it from other public sector recruitment activities. These include: high volumes of positions and applicants; tight timeframes; and multiple internal and external stakeholders.

By any measure, given these characteristics, the statewide JMO recruitment strategy represents an immensely complex and resource intensive undertaking.

Many of the features of the current NSW JMO recruitment strategy have been developed in an attempt to respond to the complexity derived by trying to balance the needs of multiple stakeholders with competing perspectives.

To ensure the strategy's long-term benefits and sustainability, the NSW Ministry of Health commissioned an independent review of the strategy.

The outcomes of the review are intended to improve recruitment practices so that they:

  • enable LHDs and local facilities to demonstrate recruitment and marketing leadership in attracting and retaining the best health professionals for NSW Health
  • support effective health professional selection and on-boarding, which promotes quality clinical services and appropriate risk management
  • incorporate fair policies and processes that are consistent with best practices and professional standards
  • are aligned with training requirements, to help build a robust health workforce for NSW communities.

Phase 1 - Diagnostic

Sep – Dec 2014

  • Review background material, primary source documents and data sets
  • Develop and test key assumptions underpinning the review
  • Undertake detailed process mapping, including a cost analysis of current recruitment practices and processes
  • Undertake a comparative analysis against interstate and international processes and models

Phase 1 was facilitated and supported by site visits and initial consultations with staff and applicants via interviews and surveys.

  • Identify challenges and potential risks
  • Make recommendations for change, with prioritisation

Phase 1 has been completed and the NSW Junior Medical Officer Recruitment Strategy Review – Phase 1 Report is available.

Phase 2 - Solution Generation

Jun – Sep 2015

  • Conduct comprehensive internal and external engagement and consultations with a wide range of stakeholders
  • Address Phase 1 outcomes
  • Establish practical solutions for implementation

Determine practical and sustainable solutions, that will:

  • Support efficient service delivery
  • Assist in identifying required resources
  • Strengthen current systems and processes

Phase 2 has been completed and the NSW Junior Medical Officer Recruitment Strategy Review - Phase 2 Report is available.

Serene Teffaha, a Victorian solicitor, joined Molly Knight on 23rd July 2020 for a wide-ranging discussion on the Government restrictions across Australia.

Some of the key points discussed were:

  • The State of Emergency – did the Government meet the requirements to declare one?
  • BioSecurity Act 2015 – can it be used to issue mandates across an entire population?
  • Next steps – launching a class action against the Government
  • Class actions for the unlawful detainment of public housing residents and mandatory flu vaccinations
  • Complaint against AHPRA for muzzling scientific discussion on the health risks associated with vaccination

Living Alone and Accepting Aloneness

A self-employed Business Consultant from Baltimore MD emailed me a copy of some thoughts he had written in response to a recent separation from his partner and his need, at least for the short term, to spend time alone. I share his thoughts in the hope that his insights might inspire others:

“I am an island of consciousness – no one else can do my thinking, no one else can do my feeling – I must embrace my aloneness. There are many reasons for doing this:

1. Aloneness is an unavoidable condition of life. Even in the company of others I am still a very distinct and unique individual. I can enjoy the company of others but wherever I am and whatever I do I must ultimately return to the aloneness of my thoughts and consciousness.

2. Aloneness is part of my journey through life. Ultimately I must die alone. No one else can journey with me across the abyss between life and death. People may be with me in my final moments but I take the step alone.

3. I write these words alone in my home on a beautiful, warm sunny day. Despite being alone I feel a tremendous inner peace and joy. It is really OK to be in touch with my aloneness. It is OK to be aware of my individuality and uniqueness.

4. I approve of myself. I am an OK person. By accepting my aloneness I accept myself. I feel a delicious sense of harmony between myself and this magical environment. No one can take that peace away from me. In the final analysis it is always available. Last week I said goodbye to my partner and fearfully returned to my own aloneness deeply concerned about how I would cope with the weekend. Yet here I am on Monday afternoon feeling OK, at peace and free of the underlying mental stress that has accompanied that relationship.

5. It is probably unrealistic to expect that I will always feel so at peace. Moments of stress and anxiety come and go but the peace I now know is an all-pervading reality that provides a secure backdrop to my life.

6. I will accept and embrace my aloneness because it is no more distressing than the peace I now enjoy. The considerable stress over the past three weeks has not come from aloneness but from unrealistic expectations and disappointments.

7. The expectation that is forever elusive and always provocative is the expectation that another human being can enter my life and provide a greater source of peace and joy than I can find for myself as I have done today. I then cling to that person for approval and shelter from aloneness. This possessiveness then proceeds to destroy the relationship.

8. I will lay aside the fantasy of a perfect relationship. I will recognize that no relationship can ever stand the test of time nor reach the same degree of quality that I can find in myself. I will therefore abandon the futile lifelong search that continually shakes me from the inner peace and contentment that is always available in my aloneness.

9. Savoring the peace this afternoon I ask myself … what more could I want? It is a restful peace; a joyful peace; a reassuring peace. I could only describe it as an overwhelming sense of being in tune with the universe. A feeling that where I am is where I belong. A feeling that being alive is an appropriate experience for me to enjoy at the moment. A feeling that I am on a journey that is going in the right direction. A feeling that I am growing into life – growing into the fulness of my own personal existence.

10. As I read my words I am challenged by the absurdity of my fears: So this is what I feared! I feared the peace and tranquility of this place. I feared the deliciousness of today.

11. I have always enjoyed reading my Journals because of the transcendent pleasures they provide. These pages become a review and I can travel across them viewing the emotional pain in perspective and from a safe vantage point. That vantage point is the shelter of my own aloneness.

12. I will form new friendships. I will seek friendships to enable me to share many of the good things that life had provided. In friendship I can fearlessly reach out to others and embrace them in genuine love because of their sake not because of my hidden pathological needs. I can laugh, love, share etc … in the certain knowledge that my own aloneness is OK – in knowing that it is my place of being at home.

13. My aloneness offers concrete security. If I am OK in me then no one can take that away. So I must learn to enjoy my aloneness as I am this afternoon. I will be a friend firstly to myself. I am my best friend. Why? Because in myself I can find enjoyment and peace in living. I know that when others let me down that I can lie in bed at night and feel OK about living and OK about me. That security is once again confirmed. After a few weeks I have found it again. Five months with my ex-partner could not destroy it.

14. I belong to me – I am totally mine. I feel OK about who I am and what I have. I approve of myself. I have finally come to realize that when you have no expectations of others – then you have everything.”

  1. Quadruple Bypass Guy Becomes Guided Imagery Afficionado

    Quadruple Bypass Guy Becomes Guided Imagery Afficionado

    I just wanted to let you know how successful guided imagery was for me, and continues to be to me.  I was given new life by way of a quadruple by-pass. I listened to guided imagery for Pain, Surgery, Cardiac ICU and Cardiac Rehab.
    Through Guided Imagery, the operating theater became a familiar place, with competent, compassionate professionals, all moving in sync to overcome the burden of four blockages (1 at 100%, 3 at 89%).  The Cardiac ICU was not a hostile place, as the friendly faces found there did their level best to provide comfort and healing.

    Today, just six days after the surgery, I am home with my family, still listening to these meditations, still opening my mind to the possibilities that now lay before me.

  2. You Gotta Be in It to Win It

    You Gotta Be in It to Win It

    Despite growing up during the height of the coupon craze, I have never been a fan of clipping cents-off coupons, unless they could be used to purchase a horse. I can remember a time when grocery stores waged price wars by doubling or tripling paper coupons.
    That was tough to resist, tripling a 75-cent coupon meant saving $2.25, but what I found, as a proponent of fresh, natural and organic products that my friends kindly termed ‘health food,’ was that the coupons were rarely for anything I actually wanted. No coupons for savings on the good stuff.

  3. Guided Imagery for Combat Stress Gets a Shout Out

    Guided Imagery for Combat Stress Gets a Shout Out

    For as long as we’ve had a website (since 1997), my go-to site for smart, reliable, up-to-date, research-based, practical answers to holistic health questions has always been Ask Dr. Weil.  I trust what he has to say.  He doesn’t oversell his advice, and if there’s only modest back-up for claims of efficacy, he says so.
    He’s also on top of the latest research, so I often learn about new findings from him. And because he was trained as a botanist before he became a doc, he’s got a real affinity, knowledge and love for the healing that plants and the earth’s natural elements have to offer.

    So it was a real kick to see that in his latest post, he talks about posttraumatic stress – especially combat trauma in our service personnel – and the power of CBT and guided imagery to help remediate symptoms.  He even points to our Health Journeys page for military and veterans. Very gratifying!

    And true to form, he introduced some new ideas (at least new to me), reporting on recent studies using psychedelic drugs, and the potential of methylenedioxy methamphetamine (Ecstasy) and psilocybin (mushrooms), alongside psychotherapy, for helping traumatized soldiers overcome PTS. Who knew? Not I.

    Actually, there’s a whole host of new studies combining various medications with CBT to see if remediation of PTS symptoms can be speeded up and deepened.  They’re in process now – I’ll report on them as soon as findings are published.

    The whole Ask Dr Weil piece is here. Check it out and sign up for the e-newsletter.  It’s a terrific resource, and the Q and A database is loaded with important, useable, constantly evolving information.

    By the way, we hope you’re finding your way around this new merged BR Blog and HJ Blog without any undue confusion.  Let us know.
    Take care and be well,
    All best,

  4. Video Teleconferencing Is as Good as In-Person Treatment for Rural Vets with PTS

    In this randomized clinical trial, researchers from the National Center for PTSD at the Veterans Affairs Pacific Islands Healthcare System in Honolulu, HI, examined outcomes from cognitive processing therapy delivered via video teleconferencing (VTC) as compared to in-person delivery, in a rural, ethnically diverse sample of veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

    Participants received 12 sessions of CPT-C via VTC (n = 61) or in-person (n = 64). Assessments were administered at baseline, mid-treatment, immediately post-treatment, and at 3 and 6 months post-treatment. The primary clinical outcome was post-treatment PTSD severity, as measured by the Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale or CAPS.

  5. Overweight Woman with Low Self-Esteem Hates Self, Seeks Help

    Overweight Woman with Low Self-Esteem Hates Self, Seeks Help

    Dear Belleruth,

    I am 120 lbs. overweight.  I have been accepted for the lap band procedure to help me lose weight. I got right up to the date and canceled. Why? Fear! Since I am 65 yrs. old (or young!) and happily married for 46 years, I have a lot of baggage and probably my fears stem from low self-esteem. This started when I was a child of a 43 yr-old mom -- who was stoic and stern and did not believe in "spoiling" a child.

    However, she was always supportive about keeping me at a "normal" weight. After marriage, however, I just started to plump up to 180 after my first two pregnancies and then up to 240 before my 3rd child.
    Because of my weight, I have disabling arthritis and fibromyalgia and sleep apnea. I know that weight loss could greatly reduce these infirmities and yet, I always manage to sabotage every opportunity to succeed.
    Of course, my career followed the same course. Why can't I get past these goblins? I hate myself for my weaknesses.

  6. Home Grown Guided Imagery to Accomplish a Post-Surgical Dream Trip

    This is a terrific story about how somebody used his own home-grown imagery and the help of a photo to master climbing a lot of tough steps after a surgery that left him temporarily weak.

    After my surgery, I was very weak.  My dream trip, to go to Oxford, was coming up, and I worried that there might be something in the layout of the place that would be impossible for me to negotiate in my weakened state.  I asked about this, and was told that the toughest thing I’d have to face were the stairs to the refectory, and that I would have to climb them every day.  I requested they send me a picture of those stairs.

    Then, because I work at the Capitol, I decided that I would climb a couple of stairs at a time there and imagine they were the refectory stairs.  Every night I imagined myself climbing those Oxford stairs, and every day I’d take a few more at the Capitol and imagine they were the refectory stairs.  It got easier and easier for me to do more and more each day.  I had 3 months to make my goal.

    Three months later, when I arrived at Oxford and found my stairs, it was like greeting an old friend.  I climbed them with no trouble whatsoever… wasn’t even short of breath.  It was a wonderful sense of accomplishment, and it was thanks to my own, home-grown guided imagery.

  7. Yoga Nidra Helps College Students with Stress

    Researchers from the Department of Health Promotion and Wellness and the Student Health Center at the University of Missouri, investigated whether iRest Yoga Nidra (, a form of therapeutic guided meditation, was effective in reducing perceived stress, worry and depression in college students.
    Sixty-six students age 18-56 completed an 8-week iRest yoga-nidra intervention that was offered for 8 semesters. Assessment occurred 1 week prior to intervention onset and during the class period following the intervention. Qualitative data were collected at Weeks 4 and 8.

    Statistically significant pre- to posttest improvements in perceived stress, worry, and depression were found. Pre-existing depression accounted for most of the change in worry and perceived stress scores. Pre- to post test improvements in mindfulness-based skills were also detected.

    The investigators conclude that iRest yoga-nidra practice may reduce symptoms of perceived stress, worry, and depression and increase mindfulness-based skills.

  8. Parents of Special Needs Children also have Special Needs

    Parents of Special Needs Children also have Special Needs

    We are happy to learn that researchers have been studying ways to address the mental and emotional health of those who parent children with special needs. According to proponents of those studies, until recently, most programs and resources have been dedicated to sharpening parenting skills, rather than recognizing that special needs parents have unattended mental and emotional health issues related to caring for their children.

    We hear from parents of children with special needs when they call to ask about audio programs for their children, and they frequently select titles for themselves.

    Sleep is a major issue among many of the special needs parents with whom we communicate. Some parents say that when they do get time to sleep, they are too keyed-up, worried or just plain burned-out to get restorative sleep. I recently spoke to a woman who called to order Magic Island, by Betty Mehling, to be sent to one of the mothers in her support group. She had ordered it for her son, who has cerebral palsy. He liked it so much that she decided to share it.

  9. Time for a Rant: On Robin Williams, Bipolar Illness & Our Need for Simple Answers

    Time for a Rant: On Robin Williams, Bipolar Illness & Our Need for Simple Answers

    I feel a rant coming on.

    I’ve been catching some of the commentary on traditional news outlets and social media over the tragic death of big-hearted, super-talented actor-comedian Robin Williams. It seems pretty obvious he was a great guy and a dazzling talent.  I feel for his family and friends.  It’s horrible to be left by suicide, especially when you haven’t been consulted. (I know that might sound flippant, but I mean it.)
    There’s a lot of confused and simplistic messaging flying around about depression, suicide, celebrity and being a professional comic – now throw in Parkinson’s – and, much as I’m reluctant to add to this overfull conversation, I think I’ve gotta pipe up.
    Robin Williams had bipolar illness. (We used to call it manic-depressive disorder). And that’s one very tough condition to manage.

    Sure, he had the standard demons.  All the stuff people are writing is no doubt true.  He had the usual troubles from celebrity and fame.  He was never secure with “steady” work.  He needed to please people and make them happy, probably to his detriment.  He struggled with various addictions, probably connected to self-medicating his mood swings. He was worried about having Parkinson’s.
    But the guy was bipolar.  And that defines the problem and trumps all of the above, which are no doubt contributing factors, but not the main event.

  10. Any Point in Playing M.S. Imagery during Therapeutic Massage?

    Dear BR,

    I suffer from M.S. and get therapeutic massage once or twice a month to help with muscle spasm and general mental health. I also enjoy listening to your imagery at the end of the day.
    What do you think of my bringing my tape to the massage sessions? Do you think that would bring double-benefits?  Or should I leave them separate?  As it is, I am getting a lot out of each experience.

Children See Couple Having Sex In Park

Police had to be called during a children’s football match at the weekend after a couple were spotted having sexual intercourse in full view.

It happened at the Marsh playing fields in Weymouth, just after 10am on the morning of Sunday April 10th 2011.

There are reports children as young as 7 were playing football at the time with families watching on the sidelines.

Two police cars were called to the scene and the offenders were taken away by officers.

A Dorset Police spokesperson said:

“A 20-year-old Weymouth woman and a 23-year-old Weymouth man were arrested on suspicion of outraging public decency.

They were both released without charged, due to insufficient evidence.”

Disclosure Scheme FAQ

Here are the answers to some frequently asked questions about the Child Sex Offender Disclosure Scheme:

How do I apply for information?
You can either visit any police station in Sussex, call 0845 60 70 999 or apply electronically via www.sussex.police.uk

Who deals with my request?
Your request will be managed by trained officers who work in the Force's Specialist Investigations Branch. They will contact you once your request has been recorded by the Sussex Police Contact Centre. We will require information about you, the child you believe may be at risk and the person you are concerned about.

Will the subject know they are being checked out, and who asked for it?
No, confidentiality will be maintained unless a disclosure takes place. If there is a disclosure, the subject may be informed that the applicant is to receive information about them. Risk assessments will take place for each disclosure.

If disclosure takes place, can applicants warn family and friends about the sexual or violent offender?
Information about disclosure must be treated as confidential. It is only being given so that steps can be taken to protect children. Applicants must not share this information with anyone else unless they have spoken to the police, or the person who gave them the information, and the police have agreed that it can be shared. In considering disclosure, all relevant persons will be informed.

How are registered sexual offenders usually managed?
The police have a statutory responsibility to manage registered sex offenders (RSOs). All RSOs are subject to Multi Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA). MAPPA aims to reduce the risk posed by offenders to the community.

Does disclosure already take place?
Yes it does. Under MAPPA or Safeguarding Children Arrangements, information is disclosed to an individual or group where it is felt necessary or proportionate to protect children from abuse.

What will be done to stop offenders becoming victims of vigilantism?
The police and other agencies are in regular contact with offenders and the disclosure process will be carefully managed. If anyone feels they are likely to become a victim of vigilantism or have been targeted, they should contact the police. In all cases of disclosure, the risks to the offender and the community impact will be considered, however the protection of children will be the key determining factor.

What happens if someone tries to make a false application?
Making a false declaration in an attempt to procure the disclosure of personal data to which someone does not have a lawful right of access is an offence under the Data Protection Act 1998. This offence is more commonly referred to as 'blagging' and is punishable by an unlimited fine at Crown Court. Therefore, anyone providing false information in registering their interest or misusing any information disclosed - for example, by engaging in vigilantism on their own behalf, or on behalf of others - or the harassment of sex offenders, would be subject to police intervention and potential prosecution for any offences identified.

Smith Laments Tough Run Of Fixtures But Has Playoff Target

Tuesday 21/02/2012

Hednesford Town boss Rob Smith has lamented the tough run of fixtures since Christmas which has seen his side struggle to replicate their form of 2011 but is confident his target of the play off’s is still very much achievable.

The Pitmen have played seven, won two, drawn two, lost three in 2012 but Smith is keen to stress how difficult a run those games were and stated the two victories were against arch rivals Stafford Rangers and league leaders Chester.

‘Look at the fixtures we have had, its been a very difficult time, with the majority being away as well. We had two great wins and a couple of decent draws. I don’t think its necessarily a dip in form, it has just been a hard time in terms of fixtures coinciding with suspensions to key players and losing a couple of key members of the squad to other teams.’

‘We have had an ambitious target all season and if we achieve it we will certainly make the play offs. Realistically we will need to win half of those games remaining at least and I am confident my players can do that.’

Smith’s side now face two tricky away matches against less fashionable teams in the division, Frickley Athletic and Whitby Town on the following two Saturday’s and the manager stressed how important it is to enter those games with a positive mindset.

‘The next two away games are ones at the start of the season you look at and know you are going to be in for a hard time but we are in the business end of the season now and must be positive in our approach.’

Inter War Years

Inter War Years

In the context of twentieth century history, the interwar period occurred between the end of the First World War in November 1918 and the outbreak of the Second World War in September 1939. Characterised by post-war economic boom followed by world-wide depression and the totalitarian regimes of Soviet Russia, Fascist Italy, Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan, major conflicts during the succeeding two decades before the German invasion of Poland were the Polish-Soviet War (1919-21), Greco-Turkish War (1919-22), Italian Invasion of Abyssinia (1935-36), Spanish Civil War (1936-39) and the Japanese Invasion of China (1937). Important military developments at this time included advances in armour and aircraft design and tactics subsequently employed during Blitzkrieg operations of the next war.

Alex Scott’s daily diet: what the TV presenter eats for breakfast, lunch and dinner

The Children In Need presenter leads a healthy lifestyle

Sophie Hamilton

She's the former England football player who wowed us on last year's Strictly while dancing with Neil Jones. Now Alex Scott is co-hosting Children in Need alongside Mel Giedroyc, Chris Ramsey and Stephen Mangan on 13 November.

Having worked as a professional sportswoman, Alex's diet is super healthy. She recently told The Telegraph: ‘It was ingrained in me from eight years old to fuel my body properly. And I missed that teenage thing of partying and drinking, because of football. Now I advise friends and my mum what to do when they want to lose weight – with exercise, it has to be fun and easily slotted into your daily routine."

Here we take a look at what the star eats in a day…

What does Alex Scott eat for breakfast?

Like many stars, Alex is a big fan of smoothies in the morning.

Speaking to juicemaster.com, she previously revealed: "In the morning, I struggle to eat before I train. So the easy option is to juice so I know I’m getting the nutrients in, and again after a game for recovery."

Alex added: "I usually go for an avocado-based juice or blend, which fills me up and gives me the energy I need."

What does Alex Scott eat for lunch?

Back in 2015, Alex shared a photo on her Instagram of her week's food all pre-prepared in boxes. How organised! The meals looked to contain a good mix of protein, carbs and vegetables.

Alex said: "My food all prepared and ready to go for a busy weekend, thank you @freshfitnessfood you guys are the best.. FYI the Chocolate hazelnut protein balls #yummy"

What does Alex Scott eat for dinner?

Alex's healthy eating continues into her evening meals and she's a keen cook herself.

A past clip on her Instagram page shows the sports star rustling up a dish by Joe Wicks."My attempt at @thebodycoach coconut and cashew nut salmon #leanin15 oi oiiiii .... Lovely jubbly - champions league night."

Alex also previously told BBC's Newsround about one of her supper favourites, revealing: "I love fashion and music and I love going to my mum's in East London for a roast dinner."

Alex Scott's impressive cake

We were really impressed by a photo of one of Alex's cakes on social media too. Presenting her amazing two-tiered sponge and strawberry creation, she wrote: "My cakes wins. My cake is better than your cake @leahwilliamsonn."

Maranhenses | Brasil

Maranhenses has its unique physical features that you can find nowhere else. The best way to reach the park is to get to São Luís, from there it takes about four hours drive to Lençois Maranhenses National Park. Flights from all over the county land regularly to Sao Luis and once you are in the city, almost every pousada, hotel or hostel will be able to arrange a transfer for you.

There are three main points of entry. Barreirinhas is the most common one. Santo Amaro and Atins are on opposite sides of the park and are much quite little coastal towns.

After about 3 hours driving from Sao Luis I arrived to town Barreirinhas. Most of the people get tours from Barreirinhas to Maranhenses National Park, however I totally recommend to leave the car in Barreirinhas and take a boat to Atins. There is no driving way to Atins but there are a few companies operating small boats, it takes about an hour.

In Atins try to rent a 4*4 with a driver. In the town center there are a few tourist agencies, skip them, they ask for ridiculous prices. I recommend to stay in the family driven hotel I have stayed, Paraiso dos Ventos, their owners are so helpful, they organized for me a jeep with a driver for a reasonable price. Do not try to drive yourself, you can find out the GPS location of the lagoons but its hard to drive in sandy conditions you can easily got stuck w/o knowledge of the landscape.

Maranhenses gets too much rain at certain times of the year to be categorised as a desert. The rainwater gathers between the dunes and form lakes. The rock layer under the water is so hard that it forms a water resistant layer. The result is midnight blue lakes offset by brilliant white dunes.

Don`t forget your swimming costume. After trekking across the dunes, you must throw yourself into the clear rain water.

If you have enough time, in Barreirinhas they also organise tours for a week to explore the national park on foot. You can also hire horses or quadbikes.

The Maranhenses is far less known and visited compared to other big natural wonders like Iguazu Falls, but to me, it is much extraordinary experience and was definitely highlight of my trip to Brasil.

Here is the youtube video fo the trip:

The PCB Design Process Made Easy

Posted on

Printed circuit boards (PCBs) are the base layers of all electronic equipment. A PCB is a circuit’s skeleton, upon which you add layers of components, eventually creating the functional product.

Design process for PCB circuit While designing an electronic product, developers will identify a need – or an operation that the product should carry out. From this need they will create a concept, and then – once the idea becomes more concrete – a schematic.

Schematic to PCB design

The first stage of the PCB production process is capturing a circuit schematic. This has become easier as PCB technology has improved. Veteran designers may remember sketching out PCB layouts with black tape on film.

Nowadays, PCBs can be designed and altered on specialist CAD software. More premium software packages have built in schematic-capture tools. Budget software packages are available to amateurs who do not wish to pay as much for programmes. However, you may need a range of programmes to capture the schematic and convert it into a desktop design.

PCB component placement

Before producing a detailed PCB layout, efficient designers should produce a rough diagram of where components will be placed. This allows them to make decisions about the number of layers and the size of board required for the particular ‘need’.

A more detailed PCB design will then draw up a more detailed component placement diagram taking into account thermal management, function and electrical noise considerations. Following this a placement review should be held and adjustments made to facilitate routing and optimise performance.

Routing PCBs

Once you have a basic placement formulated you can begin to map the routes between the components. Routing itself involves establishing the connections, or tracks between different holes where components will eventually sit. Most PCB software packages will allow you to route the physical connections on the board automatically according to the schematic.

Prototyping and testing

When routing is complete the design can be saved and exported as a Gerber file before seeking final approval and sending the design to your desired prototype manufacturing house.

Once complete, it is important to test the PCB design with all components to see if it meets the original ‘need’ and functions properly. Developers should take account of feedback from tests before altering designs and restarting the process.

(NOTE: This is the second of a series of public golf courses in the Lowcountry.)

Rose Hill is one of the oldest golf courses in Bluffton. The course opened in 1982 as a 27-hole facility. Gene Hamm was the architect. Today, it is an 18-hole layout, with the remaining holes used as a park for community members.

Rose Hill is set among live oaks with Spanish moss hanging from the trees, giving the golfer a true feeling of being in the Lowcountry.

There are some terrific holes. The most demanding driving hole is No. 6, which has a narrow fairway with a green surrounded by water and bunkers. Its large, undulating green makes this a real challenge.

The par 3’s on the front side are short in distance but very demanding. Both are well bunkered and water comes into play.

On the back side, hole No. 11 is a great par 5. Keep your focus here, as cars drive by along U.S. 278 on the right side, since water comes into play all along the left side of the fairway.

Rose Hill has gone through many highs and lows with different management groups. The Stephens group has managed Rose Hill for the past two and a half years, and the improvement in the condition of the course is amazing. When Andy Stephens took over the management duties, the greens were in horrible shape.

The improvement to the course is largely due to the hiring of Jamie Newton, golf course superintendent, who came to Rose Hill from Dataw Island. Newton is adept at growing the mini-verde Bermuda grass on the greens. He has also re-shaped the bunkers to make them easier to hit out of. The major emphasis now is the fairways and teeing ground.

Rose Hill is the most walkable course in the Lowcountry. Their new membership allows players to walk the course for free after 11 a.m. Stephens wants to attract new golfers and beginners. “We make sure we take care of our customers,” he said.

The yardage book that is on the golf cart is a great supplement to your round. It has a colored picture description of each hole and a written description on how to play the hole. Also included is some golf instruction and how to play “ready golf.”

Rose Hill recently opened its new clubhouse, Oak Terrace, with a full-service restaurant. The appetizer and lunch menu are available every day and dinner is served Wednesday through Saturday with evening entertainment several weekends. It is also a great way to finish your round of golf.

The green fees are very reasonable and getting a starting time is as simple as giving them a call at 843-757-9030.

Sophia Burnett started playing golf at age 3 and played in her first tournament at age 10. You could say that she has been playing golf all her life.

Sophia moved to Bluffton five years ago with her mom, dad, and sister. They have been instrumental in her success as a golfer and a student.

Sophia’s dad, Jonathan, was a college golf coach and Sophia spent many days at his practices in her stroller. He was her first golf teacher.

Her mom, Jimena, a local physician, taught her discipline and goal setting. “Mom always told me you have to work hard to get where you want to go,” Sophia said.

Sophia’s sister Camila is her best friend and they compete on the golf course all the time. “Our favorite game is pull back,” Sophia said, “where you have to bring the ball back a putter length each time you putt until you putt out.”

A senior at Hilton Head Preparatory School, Sophia’s favorite subjects are history and English, and she plans on majoring in political science in college.

Sophia recently won her state high school golf tournament, shooting 65, 69.

Sophia started looking at colleges during her sophomore year in high school and visited six schools until she decided on Furman University in Greenville, SC. She officially signed with the school Nov. 13 at Hilton Head Prep, according to her father.

Sophia said she was looking for four things in a college:

• High academics and a major in political science

• Strong golf program

• Great golf course and practice facilities close to campus

• Close to home, since she is very family oriented

Furman had all the above and it also has a great female alumni that have been successful on the LPGA tour. Beth Daniel, Betsy King, Dottie Pepper and Sherri Turner all attended Furman and have won 87 tournaments on the LPGA tour.

Furman will be playing in the Darius Rucker Tournament in Hilton Head on March 6-8, and Sophia will be rooting them on.

Sophia loves to compete and will be playing a number of tournaments before she plays for the Paladins. “I love playing tournaments because practice is not competitive enough for me,” she said.

Spectators can watch her play in February at the Junior Heritage at Sea Pines. This tournament has had future LPGA players such as Paula Creamer, Brittany Lang and Lexi Thompson.

The Lowcountry is a great place for young golfers to hone their golf skills. I am sure that we will be looking at Camila Burnett in two years, following in her sister’s footsteps and signing with the school of her choice.

No. 56 Squadron (RAF): Second World War

Aircraft - Locations - Group and Duty - Books

No.56 Squadron spent all but two months of the Second World War operating Hawker fighters, using Hurricanes during the Battle of Britain before becoming the first squadron to convert to the troublesome Hawker Typhoon, and by the end of the war the squadron was using the high-speed Hawker Tempest on armed reconnaissance missions behind German lines.

No.56 Squadron had originally been one of the most famous British fighter squadrons of the First World War, but like many Great Was squadrons was disbanded in the post-war period. The squadron was reformed in 1923 as a fighter squadron. After operating a series of biplanes it converted to the Hawker Hurricane in May 1938, and so was one of the more experienced monoplane squadrons at the outbreak of the Second World War.

Unlike most Hurricane squadrons No.56 remained in Britain during the Battle of France, although as the situation deteriorated the squadron sent a number of flights to France for for short periods. The squadron also took part in the air battles over and around the Dunkirk beaches.

The squadron was involved in the fighting on 10 July, the official start of the Battle of Britain according to the RAF, when it took part in one of the larger convoy battles in the channel. The squadron was one of the few to remain in the south throughout the battle, across the winter of 1940-41 and the summer of 1941.

In September 1941 No.56 Squadron became the first to receive the new Hawker Typhoon, well before that aircraft was really ready to enter combat. A number of aircraft were lost when their tail unit fell off, and the Typhoon didn't really settle down until 1943. The entire project was probably only saved from cancellation by the appearance of the Fw 190, which was much faster than the Spitfire at low level. No.56 Squadron thus spent much of its time flying standing patrols along the southern coast to guard against high speed low level fighter bomber attacks.

The Typhoon would soon become an excellent ground attack aircraft. No.56 Squadron took part in anti-shipping strikes and low level attacks on German targets in occupied France. Their Typhoons began to carry bombs in November 1943 and rockets in February 1944.

In April 1944 the squadron converted to the Supermarine Spitfire, but this was short lived, and in June it received the fast new Hawker Tempest, an aircraft that finally lived up to the Typhoon's early promise as a fighter. In the same month the V-1 offensive began, and for the next four months the squadron was involved in the campaign against the flying bombs.

In September No.56 Squadron was finally free to move to the Low Countries to take a direct part in the last stage of the ground war. From then until the end of the war the squadron used its Tempests on armed reconnaissance sweeps, which gave its pilots the freedom to range around behind German lines attacking any suitable targets that they located. After the war the squadron remained on the continent, where on 31 March 1946 it was renumbered as No.16 Squadron.

Impetigo and its Homeopathic treatment

Impetigo is a superficial infection of the skin caused by bacteria . This condition is seen most often in young children, tends to occur during the warmer months.Minor trauma,such as a scratch or an insect bite, may first help the entry of the organisms. Impetigo is best prevented, therefore, by attention to adequate hygiene.
The usual sites of involvement are the face (particularly around the nose and mouth) and the legs, although these may occur at other location. impetigo begins as red papular (raised)eruptions which changes quickly into vesicular (fluid collected)and then pustular(pus collected) eruption that break down and combine to a  characteristic honeycomb-like crust.These are generally are not painful, and patients do not appear ill.
Fever is not a feature of impetigo and, if present, suggests either infection extending to deeper tissues or another diagnosis.
Homeopathy manages these cases quite well. As it evolves quickly there is no time to waste and the correct remedy has to be found out by careful interrogation. As with any other skin disease, homeopathy considers it to be the disease from within. NEVER TRY TO SUPPRESS THIS BY EXTERNAL OINTMENTS.

The most important remedies that gave best results are MERC SOL; HEPAR SULPH,ARS ALB; RHUST TOX;PHOSPHORUS; CALCAREA and GRAPHITIES, LYCOPODIUM,MEZEREUM. The potency and dosage has to be decided by the consulting physician.

Use any C library from Ruby via Fiddle - the Ruby standard library's best kept secret.

Fiddle is a little-known module that was added to Ruby's standard library in 1.9.x. It allow you to interact directly with C libraries from Ruby. In this post we'll start with some simple examples and finish by using termios to talk to an arduino over a serial port.

Fiddle is a little-known module that was added to Ruby's standard library in 1.9.x. It allow you to interact directly with C libraries from Ruby. It even lets you inspect and alter the ruby interpreter as it runs.

It works by wrapping libffi, a popular C library that allows code written in one language to call methods written in another. In case you haven't heard of it, "ffi" stands for "foreign function interface." And you're not just limited to C. Once you learn Fiddle, you can use libraries written in Rust and other languages that support it.

Let's take a look at Fiddle. We'll start out with a simple example and then end by accessing an Arduino over a serial port. You don't need to know that much C. I promise. :)

A simple example

In plain-old Ruby, you always have to define a method before you can call it. It's the same with Fiddle. You can't just call a C function directly. Instead you have to create a wrapper for the C function, then call the wrapper.

In the example below, we're wrapping C's logarithm function. We're basically duplicating Ruby's Math.log.

require 'fiddle'

# We're going to "open" a library, so we have to tell Fiddle where
# it's located on disk. This example works on OSX Yosemite.
libm = Fiddle.dlopen('/usr/lib/libSystem.dylib')

# Create a wrapper for the c function "log".
log =
  libm['log'],            # Get the function from the math library we opened
  [Fiddle::TYPE_DOUBLE],  # It has one argument, a double, which is similar to ruby's Float
  Fiddle::TYPE_DOUBLE     # It returns a double

# call the c function via our wrapper

Making it pretty

The previous example works, but it's kind of verbose. I'm sure you can imagine how cluttered things would get if you had to wrap 100 functions. That's why Fiddle provides a nice DSL. It's exposed via the Fiddle::Importer mixin.

Using this mixin makes it short work to create a module full of external functions. In the example below, we're creating a module that contains several logarithm methods.

require 'fiddle'
require 'fiddle/import'

module Logs
  extend Fiddle::Importer
  dlload '/usr/lib/libSystem.dylib'
  extern 'double log(double)'
  extern 'double log10(double)'
  extern 'double log2(double)'

# We can call the external functions as if they were ruby methods!
puts Logs.log(10)   # 2.302585092994046
puts Logs.log10(10) # 1.0
puts Logs.log2(10)  # 3.321928094887362

Controling the serial port

Ok, so you finally bought one of those Arduinos you've been thinking about buying for years. You've got sending the text "hello world" to your computer once per second using the serial port.

Now, it'd be really nice if you could read that data using Ruby. And you can actually read from the serial port using Ruby's standard IO methods. But these IO methods don't let us configure the serial input with the level of granularity that we need if we're to be hardcore hardware hackers.

Fortunately, the C standard library provides all the functions we need to work with the serial port. And using Fiddle, we can access these C functions in Ruby.

Of course, there are already gems that do this for you. When I was working on this code I took a little inspiration from the rubyserial gem. But our goal is to learn how to do this stuff ourselves.

Examining  termios.h

In C, any filename ending in .h is a header file. It contains a list of all functions and constants that the library makes available to third party code (our code). The first step in wrapping any C library is going to be to find this file, open it and look around.

The library we're using is called termios. On OSX Yosemite, the header file is located at /usr/include/sys/termios.h. It will be somewhere else on linux.

Here's what termios.h looks like. I've condensed it quite a bit for clarity.

typedef unsigned long   tcflag_t;
typedef unsigned char   cc_t;
typedef unsigned long   speed_t;

struct termios {
    tcflag_t    c_iflag;    /* input flags */
    tcflag_t    c_oflag;    /* output flags */
    tcflag_t    c_cflag;    /* control flags */
    tcflag_t    c_lflag;    /* local flags */
    cc_t        c_cc[NCCS]; /* control chars */
    speed_t     c_ispeed;   /* input speed */
    speed_t     c_ospeed;   /* output speed */

int tcgetattr(int, struct termios *);
int tcsetattr(int, int, const struct termios *);
int tcflush(int, int);

There are three important things to notice about this code. First, we have some typedefs. Then we have a data structure which is used to hold configuration info for the connection. Finally, we have the methods, we're going to use.

Using fiddle's importer, we can almost copy these sections verbatim into our Ruby code. Let's tackle them one by one.

Type aliases and typedefs

In C it's pretty common to create aliases for data types. For example, the termios.h file creates a new type called speed_t that is just a long integer.  The Fiddle importer is able to handle these via its typealias feature.

# equivalent to `typedef unsigned long tcflag_t;`
typealias "tcflag_t", "unsigned long"

C doesn't have classes or modules. If you want to group a bunch of variables together, you use a struct. Fiddle provides a nice mechanism for working with structs in ruby.

The first step is to define the struct in the Fiddle importer. As you can see, we're almost able to just copy and paste from the header file.

Termios = struct [
  'tcflag_t c_iflag',
  'tcflag_t c_oflag',
  'tcflag_t c_cflag',
  'tcflag_t c_lflag',
  'cc_t         c_cc[20]',
  'speed_t  c_ispeed',
  'speed_t  c_ospeed',

Now we can create an "instance" of the struct by using the malloc method. We can set and retrieve values in much  the same way that we would with any normal Ruby class instance.

s = Termios.malloc
s.c_iflag = 12345

Putting it all together

If you combine what we just learned about typedefs and structs with what we've already demonstrated with functions, we can put together a working wrapper of the termios library.

Our wrapper just contains the methods we need to configure the serial port. We'll use plain old ruby for the rest.

require 'fiddle'
require 'fiddle/import'

# Everything in this module was pretty much copied directly from
# termios.h. In Yosemite it's at /usr/include/sys/termios.h
module Serial
  extend Fiddle::Importer
  dlload '/usr/lib/libSystem.dylib'

  # Type definitions
  typealias "tcflag_t", "unsigned long"
  typealias "speed_t", "unsigned long"
  typealias "cc_t", "char"

  # A structure which will hold configuratin data. Instantiate like
  # so: `Serial::Termios.malloc()`
  Termios = struct [
    'tcflag_t   c_iflag',
    'tcflag_t   c_oflag',
    'tcflag_t   c_cflag',
    'tcflag_t   c_lflag',
    'cc_t         c_cc[20]',
    'speed_t    c_ispeed',
    'speed_t    c_ospeed',

  # Functions for working with a serial device
  extern 'int   tcgetattr(int, struct termios*)'       # get the config for a serial device
  extern 'int   tcsetattr(int, int, struct termios*)'  # set the config for a serial device
  extern 'int   tcflush(int, int)'                     # flush all buffers in the device

Using the library

In the example below we open our serial device in Ruby, then get its file descriptor. We use our termios functions to configure the device for reading. Then we read.

I'm making use of some magic numbers here. These are the result of combining a bunch of bitwise configuration options that are necessary for communication with the arduino. If you're interested in where the magic numbers come from, check out this blog post.

file = open("/dev/cu.wchusbserial1450", 'r')
fd = file.to_i

# Create a new instance of our config structure
config = Serial::Termios.malloc

# Load the default config options into our struct
Serial.tcgetattr(fd, config);

# Set config options important to the arduino.
# I'm sorry for the magic numbers.
config.c_ispeed = 9600;
config.c_ospeed = 9600;
config.c_cflag = 51968;
config.c_iflag = 0;
config.c_oflag = 0;

# wait for 12 characters to come in before read returns.
config.c_cc[17] = 12;
# no minimum time to wait before read returns
config.c_cc[16] = 0;

# Save our configuration
Serial.tcsetattr(fd, 0, config);

# Wait 1 second for the arduino to reboot

# Remove any existing serial input waiting to be read
Serial.tcflush(fd, 1)

buffer =
puts "#{ buffer.size } bytes: #{ buffer }"

The serial reader in action

If I now load my arduino with a program that continuously prints hello world, I can use my ruby script to read it.

This arduino program just writes "hello world" to serial, again and again This arduino program just writes "hello world" to serial, again and again

And here's what it looks like when I run my serial monitor.
