The OldMapsOnline Portal is an easy-to-use gateway to historical maps in libraries around the world.
It allows the user to search for online digital historical maps across numerous different collections via a geographical search. Search by typing a place-name or by clicking in the map window, and narrow by date. The search results provide a direct link to the map image on the website of the host institution.
OldMapsOnline has been created by a collaboration between The Great Britain Historical GIS Project based at The University of Portsmouth, UK and Klokan Technologies GmbH, Switzerland.

Affordable Medical Care — Your Health, Your Choice!
Affordable medical care is just around the corner. Shop for affordable medical care across state lines, or just down the street, and find timely medical care as a domestic medical tourist. Travel around the world for your medical procedure and enjoy a medical tourism vacation. Forget surgical waiting lists and get timely medical care! The choice is yours.
On MediBid, cash pay patients can shop for medical care from an interactive doctor directory. Doctors taking new patients such as family physicians, plastic surgeons, various specialists, and even destination hospitals and imaging centers, are on MediBid. Patients post medical requests that include health background, as well as information regarding their condition. Patients can even upload images such as a referral from a family physician or an MRI from a radiologist. Doctors bid on these requests. Each bid is private, allowing the patient to choose a doctor not only on price, but also on their credentials, location, and what is included. MediBid isn’t an auction site; it is a place to find a doctor outside your insurance carrier’s network or as an alternative to insurance altogether.
