3-hour diet
For this diet you will not have to count calories or torture yourself by hunger strikes. 3-hour diet requires eating every 3 hours, but in small portions. It promotes digestion, accelerates metabolism, relieves you from heaviness in the stomach and hunger. The diet is designed for 28 days and will help to get rid of 1 kg per week.
The main feature – it leads to increased fat burning. There are 3 basic rules of this diet: first meal should be in an hour after you wake up; each subsequent meals should be in 3 hours; the last meal in 3 hours before bedtime.
Thus, we get three main meals and two intermediate ones. In addition, it is recommended to drink 8 glasses of water throughout the day. This will give the better effect. This diet allows drinking coffee, so coffee drinkers will appreciate this advantage. But for every cup of coffee you should drink 2 cups of water to avoid dehydration. Alcohol is also allowed, but not often.
You can manage without counting calories and reducing the level of carbohydrates, but if you limit your daily diet to 1,500 kcal it will help to improve the result. Your meals should contain the optimal balance of carbohydrates, proteins and fats. The main thing is strictly forming your portions, making them small. Physical exercises are not required by this diet, though they also speed metabolism.

Viewed in isolation Vancouver is a very cosmopolitan city. Culturally diverse, Olympic host, vibrant metropolitan centers, etc. Viewed through the eyes of two golden eagles flying wing tip to wing tip over English Bay however it's a city that is still north of Washnington State and a great source of fresh salmon. Mmmmm ... sushi.

Here's a nice shot of a lenticular cloud hovering over greater Vancouver on March 15th 2012 5:00 PM. This HDR processed shot was taken during the transit of a mini-high pressure system which was caught between this morning's low pressure cell of rain and snow and tomorrow's low of (hopefully) just rain. This cloud type is quite rare and lasted roughly 30 minutes with several smaller lenticulars appearing west of the city. Seeing one of these cloud types is pretty much up there with seeing a large whale (killer, blue or grey) in the waters of English Bay (which happens more often than you'd think).
Lenticular clouds form near the base of mountain ranges when the conditions are just right and today they were. With the BC coastal mountains at my back this beauty appeared. Oh yeah.
Mother nature - the true artist.

An hour later the islands are just barely visible in the mists. I wonder if, in 20 years, they will return or will this new view become more common as the climate changes. My guess is that I'll see them again sooner rather than later.

Roughly 80 km north west of downtown Vancouver, as the eagle flies, are the islands of Lasqueti and Texada. Snuggled inbetween the BC mainland and Vancouver Island these islands are, in my 20 years of watching sunsets, never visible from Vancouver. Yesterday around 5:30 pm, as another golden sunset built it's colorful momentum, for the first time I spotted the islands.
It was wierd.
For a time my mind refused to accept the fact that I was able to see a whole new strip of land off in the distance. It was like flipping between two visual realities. Once I'd got the islands in my camera's view finder (200mm telephoto zoom lense for the win) the islands 'snapped into reality. An hour later they were .... 'gone'. (See next image.)
Reminds me of the old wives tale of how, when Christopher Columbus and his three ships neared the coast of what eventually became Cuba the natives could not 'see' the ships. The technology Columbus had used to navigate from Europe to their home island was so outside of their experiential and cultural frameworks that their minds eye could not process the view and didn't 'see' the Nina, Pinta and Santa Maria until they layed anchor off shore.
Food for thought for us photographers. You might not see the whole picture until you sit back and make the effort to really see it.

Here's the same moment same HDR and post production tweaks but zoomed back to show more of the zenth light. The soft sister of black's color of blue. The rare air.

I got home about 6:30 yesterday and this was the view from my living room. .... I love my apartment. :)
Needless to say dinner became secondary to the need to shoot a sequence of 4 HDR images of this power sunset. This one being 01. Nature truley is the artist.

The third in the Fire Dragon series. A classic sunset over English Bay Vancouver on Feb 22 2012 that, thanks to HDR, suggest a flock of Fire Dragons chasing the setting sun. Hey ... I'm just the photographer. :)

The fourth in the my Fire Dragon series. High Dynamic Range has shown me how much happens that I don't see directly but my peripheral vision does. In fact my HDR workflow is very reminiscent of my days as a kid playing in the darkroom I'd built in my family's basement (in two homes no less). Waiting for the true image to emerge from the exposed paper I was shuffling around in the tray of developer fluid (developer -> stop -> fixer = 3 trays) while in the magical red light of the darkroom has permanently stuck with me. With HDR the feeling (but not the smells LOL) of anticipation is very much back but in a ... wierd digital way. I also love that my go-to piece of photo management software is called Lightroom. :)

Former Colorado Buffaloes soccer coach Bill Hempen quickly got back in the college coaching ranks Tuesday, after Colorado State hired him as head coach of its newly-added women's soccer team.
The Rams, who less than two weeks ago announced they were adding women's soccer, will start their first season in the fall with a veteran coach.
"It's been a very emotional year, and it's like a weight's been lifted off my shoulders," Hempen said Tuesday. "The vision (CSU athletic director) Jack Graham has up there, he sees a blank wall and sees something special it could become.
"I'm really excited about it."
Hempen, 54, spent 11 seasons at the University of Colorado before unexpectedly resigning after the 2011 campaign. His teams went 114-88-28, winning the Big 12 Conference title in just his third season. He coached a pair of All-Americans in Fran Munnelly (twice) and Skyline High grad Nikki Marshall.
Hempen is no stranger to building programs from scratch.
Before joining CU, he started the program at Duke and turned the Blue Devils into an Atlantic Coast Conference power, guiding them to the NCAA championship game in 1992 and earning ACC coach of the year honors three times. Then in 2001 he took over at CU, a relatively new program that had yet to earn a winning season in Big 12 play, and guided the Buffs to the conference title in 2003.
Since his hiring as CSU AD, Graham has had grand visions for the school's athletics programs, including working to build a new on-campus football stadium. Hempen said an on-campus soccer facility is part of the grand plan, though his team will initially play its home games at the Fort Collins Soccer Complex north of town.
Hempen has little time to get ready for the Rams' inaugural season, but he believes it's by no means an impossible task to put a competitive team on the pitch right away, especially given his recruiting ties in Colorado and the West.
"My relationships in the state are solid, and I look forward to continuing those relationships," Hempen said.
Hempen most recently coached at Alexander Dawson high school in Lafayette. Dawson's athletic director, David Hansburg, the former director of football operations at CU, hired Hempen last February to lead its soccer programs — a coup for the small private school.

Earlier this year, Dylan and I tied the knot on the most perfect Tuesday there ever was. We eloped in the Charleston courthouse, and spent the rest of the day enjoying this amazing city we are fortunate enough to call home.
The day truly felt like magic: we got a parking spot right out front on Broad, we were cheered on by throngs of elementary students who stumbled upon our photo session, we were gifted a bottle of champs by our friends at Chez Nous (and drank the whole thing on the spot), and temperatures rose to above 70. I am so PUMPED we had local photographer, Lizzy Ervin, with us to capture several of these memories (I also sprinkled in some personal photos, please don't confuse my iPhone pics with her perfect photography).
We are crazy animal parents, so it was very important to both of us to celebrate with the babes immediately after our vows. They waited patiently in our car while we made things official, and afterwards we spent time walking around the French Quarter neighborhood as a very happy family.
The following weekend, our closest friends threw us an incredible dinner party and celebration. Dylan and I had NOTHING to do with any planning, we just showed up where and when we were told... and it was perfection.
We started the night in a ridiculously fun party bus that took us to our friends' downtown home where we celebrated with champagne, "Dylan" & "Julia" cocktails, and the most beautiful wedding cake. We then made our way to Restaurant Tu and had an amazing meal in the Disco Room. We were blown away by all the thoughtful and special touches throughout the evening, we are truly lucky to have such generous friends.
Getting married and celebrating in this way was perfect for us. We were able to appreciate the love we have for each other, the home and family we have created here in Charleston. No distractions, just pure joy, love and appreciation. The icing on the cake is having mini celebrations every time we get together with family and friends we havent seen yet. The moral of the story: elope so you can celebrate all year round.

In this post you'll learn how to pass props to components being rendered by React Router.
React Router uses a declarative, component-based approach to routing. What that means is when you want to create a new route, you render a
Route component. If you're familiar with React Router you know that to do that, you pass
Route a
path and a
component to render when the app's location matches that
<Route path='/dashboard' component={Dashboard} />
Now, what if we also wanted to pass
Dashboard a prop? There are a few different ways to solve this problem but only one right way. The first idea you might have is to just pass it as a prop on
Unfortunately, this won't work. React Router won't forward that prop onto the component. Instead, it will just ignore it.
The next idea you might have, and a pattern I've seen a few places is to pass
component an inline function that creates the element.
component={() => <Dashboard isAuthed={true} />}
Though technically this will work, it's not the best solution. The reason for this is because of performance. According to the official docs…
"When you use the component props, the router uses React.createElement to create a new React element from the given component. That means if you provide an inline function to the component attribute, you would create a new component every render. This results in the existing component unmounting and the new component mounting instead of just updating the existing component."
So if you're not supposed to pass a function to
component, what's the solution? Turns out the React Router team predicted this problem and gave us a handy solution. Instead of using
component, use the
render prop.
render accepts a functional component and that function won't get unnecessarily remounted like with
component. That function will also receive all the same props that
component would receive. So you can take those and pass those along to the rendered component.
render={(props) => <Dashboard {...props} isAuthed={true} />}
So to recap, if you need to pass a prop to a component being rendered by React Router, instead of using
component prop, use its
render prop passing it an inline function then pass along the arguments to the element you're creating.

With a veritable army of beauticians and nutritionists at their beck and call, it's no surprise that Hollywood A-listers have transformed the way we think about age. Thanks to starlets like Jennifer Aniston and Demi Moore looking as svelte as ever well into their 30s and 40s, these numbers don't bear the same stigma they once did. And, while you may not be able to follow in their footsteps entirely, there are certain anti-aging treatments these famous faces rely on that can also work wonders for your health and overall longevity.
If you live in Houston or Denver and are looking for a way to rid your body of damaging toxins and potentially enhance your weight loss efforts, colonics treatment at Longevity Centres of America could be the right option for you. According to Body and Soul – a lifestyle publication in Australia – stunning starlets Gwyneth Paltrow, Beyonce and Goldie Hawn undergo regular colon cleanses "for weight loss and general well-being."
Paltrow – now a 40-year-old mother of two – was recently named the world's most beautiful woman by People Magazine, and her penchant for whole foods and detoxification treatments could have a hand in her enduringly slim figure and healthy glow. The actress even maintains a lifestyle blog herself, where she has featured a colon cleanse for fans eager to rid their systems of any buildup.
Of course, if you are interested in colonics in Denver or Houston, it's best to consult an experienced physician so you can reap the benefits of this procedure without inadvertently putting your health at risk. At Longevity Centres of America, we specialize in detoxifying treatments like IV chelation, as well as restorative measures such as bioidentical hormone replacement.

'Real former soap stars have washed up on Echo Beach' ... Martine McCutcheon and Hugo Speer in ITV1's new series
Today this column will be written in the style of Moving Wallpaper/Echo Beach (ITV1). So the first half of the column will cover the process of how it came about. I will describe the thoughts that went into it, the changes of mind, the discussions and arguments with my editor. There will be some in-jokes about journalism and newspapers, which I'm afraid you probably won't get. Then the column proper will begin. It will be tired and lame and cheesy, full of clichés, but that will kind of be the point (I think). And although you'll realise it's rubbish, you may enjoy some of the references and nods back to the first part, the preamble, and think the whole thing is devilishly clever.
Actually, maybe I won't do that. Mainly because it would be annoying. And also, I've really confused myself now: writing about writing about writing about a TV show about another TV show.
Better to start at the other end, the second of these two conjoined TV shows. Echo Beach is pretty standard soap fare. We're in Cornwall, there's a pub, hordes of young attractive surfer totty, love rivals, skeletons in every cupboard, family feuds, stereotypes, an ethnic quota, and a baited hook at the end of the episode to snare you for the next. A couple of real former soap stars - Jason Donovan and Martine McCutcheon - have even washed up on Echo Beach.
Standing alone, Echo Beach would be very uninteresting. Why, you might wonder, has ITV tried to rescue itself by relocating Home and Away to the west country? But it doesn't stand alone, because it's preceded by Moving Wallpaper, which makes it a different thing altogether.
Moving Wallpaper is a behind-the-scenes show about the making of Echo Beach. It's still fictional, though: a sitcom about the making of a soap, if you like (I don't very much). It's a bit darker and more knowing than its sister ship. Ben Miller plays an obnoxious producer parachuted in to rescue the ailing soap a couple of weeks before it's due to go out. So we get to see him doing things in Moving Wallpaper, and then the consequences of those actions in the show that follows. We know why the cafe in Echo Beach has no furniture: because Miller spent the entire prop budget on a wet room for his office in the previous show. And Susie Amy (who you may remember as Chardonnay in Footballers' Wives) only has a part in the soap because, playing herself in Moving Wallpaper, she gave Miller a blowjob.
It certainly makes watching Echo Beach more entertaining - spotting stuff that refers to things in the previous show. But I can't really see that being enough to sustain interest throughout 12 episodes of what is otherwise a lame soap.
And Moving Wallpaper isn't so great, either. Miller is good, but what he's working with isn't. If TV writers can't write about TV writing, what can they write about? Take that blowjob, for example. Amy makes the offer in a whisper, which Miller mishears. "Snow job?" he asks, looking puzzled. "What, like gritting the roads?"
That's wrong in so many ways: well, at least four. One: you would never mishear blowjob as snowjob. Two: if someone just said they'd do anything you wanted, including something ending in -owjob, you'd probably guess what it was they were offering. Three: snowjob doesn't mean anything at all, certainly not gritting the roads. Four: it's not even funny, anyway.
Maybe I'm missing something. Is it supposed to be bad? Another pastiche? Bad writing about bad writing? I'm getting so confused now, about what's real and what's not, and what level I'm supposed to be watching it all on. I'm bound to be missing things, quite possibly the whole point.
It all looks like it's an attempt by ITV to copy Extras, with which it shares a lot of ground: TV about TV, in-jokes, real celebrities happy to makes arses of themselves and display their own precious neediness (though Martine McCutcheon and Jason Donovan possibly can't really compete with Kate Winslet and Denzel Washington). But it's not as well-written, nor as funny. And it tries far too hard. The result is a mess.
I'm also slightly worried about this obsession that TV currently appears to have with itself. What will happen if it continues? I think it may turn into one giant impenetrable swirling vortex of onanism.

The Farm and FY14 Energy and Water Development Bills – ML Strategies Weekly Energy and Environmental Update
Written by David Leiter and Sarah Litke
Immigration, student loans, the budget, and the Farm bill, are the top four issues that Congress will consider before the August recess. That being said, President Obama's recent climate change strategy release ensures that energy and environmental issues will remain on the agenda for the next month. For all of its supporters and detractors, global skepticism persists over America's ability to lead climate change efforts. While not part of the June proposal, the president's proposed $2 billion Energy Security Trust has been the subject of debate as congressional Republicans are claiming the White House has yet to reach out to them about it.
The House will have two major energy issues to consider over the next month: the Farm Bill and the FY14 Energy and Water Development Bill. Republican leadership is considering splitting the Farm Bill into two separate pieces of legislation to ensure final passage. One bill would focus on agriculture while another would address nutrition. Commodity, forest, renewable energy, and wildlife groups have advocated for the bill to remain intact. A vote on the energy and water appropriations bill is expected this week. Since the House version is $3.285 billion less than the Senate version, a conference to reconcile the bills will be needed. It is unlikely that this or other appropriations bills will be passed by September 30. Once these two issues are addressed, the House is expected to consider H.R. 761, the National Strategic and Critical Minerals Production Act. At the committee level, the House Energy and Commerce Committee will consider H.R. 1582 Energy Consumers Relief Act; H.R. 1900 Natural Gas Pipeline Permitting Reform Act; and H.R. 2218, the Coal Residuals Reuse and Management Act.
The Senate will spend this week focusing on judicial nominations. The chamber could also consider the energy and water appropriations bill later this week. The nomination of Gina McCarthy to serve as Environmental Protection Agency Administrator is still on the docket, with a vote expected sometime later this month. Questions remain as to which Democrats are against the nomination and which Republicans support McCarthy. Environmental groups, including the Sierra Club and the Environmental Defense Fund, have begun launching ads in states with Republicans rumored to be considering supporting McCarthy, such as Senators Kelly Ayotte (R-NH), Susan Collins (R-ME), and Rob Portman (R-OH). Both sides are working to avoid a nuclear option.

Burnout Series: Interview with Reverend Professor Stephen Wright
anna magnowska
PRN spoke to Reverend Stephen Wright, who is Spiritual Director of the Sacred Space Foundation. The Foundation is a charity that provides rest and recuperation for people experiencing exhaustion, stress and burn-out.
Reverend Professor Stephen Wright is also associate professor to the Faculty of Health and Social Care at St Martin's College, Carlisle
PRN: Do you have any advice for nurses on how to care for themselves day-to-day whilst working in busy, stressful environments such as acute hospital wards?
SW: I'd put it down to how you firstly express self-compassion and how you get taken care of. Here are ten things you can start by doing:
- eat a healthy diet with proper meals and breaks
- make sure you get a good night's sleep
- take plenty of exercise
- use some form of spiritual practice such as meditation daily
- find someone/partner/close friend(s) with whom you can talk through problems at work
- affirm and keep to clear boundaries/breaks between work and personal time - have a life outside of work!
- make sure you have access to professional support e.g. union membership, supervision
- have time out regularly to get taken care of such as a weekly massage, a "me" day once a month, going on retreat etc.
- pursue a hobby/interest that has nothing to do with work and absorbs attention/brings joy
PRN: Is a culture shift required to acknowledge the need for greater care of the self – either by individuals, or from an educational or organisational level - in order for people care better for others?
SW: Yes, though I don't see much sign of it happening. It is needed in three principal areas - firstly at organisational level where staff care is as much a target as patient care. Secondly, building healthy clinical teams in the workplace, for example through leadership development, debriefing sessions for staff, teamwork days, trust building and so forth. Nursing is a practical expression of compassion and it is best fostered where compassion is cultivated in organisations and teams, as well as for oneself.
PRN: Do you think you have to be innately caring to be in a caring profession?
SW:Unless your consciousness has been profoundly damaged in some way, I think that every human being has an innate capacity to care. Whether one should necessarily channel that into a profession of caring is another matter. Looking at the evidence, nurses and other carers bring all sorts of unhealthy motivations, mostly unconscious, into their working lives which it would be better to address first rather than embarking on a caring career. For example, many professional carers bring an overweening need to be needed (co-dependence) into our work that can lead to stress, exhaustion and burnout.
PRN: Does nursing needs to have a spiritual element to the profession in order for nurses to look after themselves and others to the best of their abilities?
SW: Not so much an element, rather it lies at the very core of the work...work without heart and meaning, purpose and connectedness, without a sense of deep inner and outer support (however we perceive that) is more likely to become perfunctory, disconnected and utilitarian.

Vimentin is a member of the intermediate filament family. Intermediate filamentents, along with microtubules and actin microfilaments, make up the cytoskeleton. The protein is responsible for maintaining cell shape, integrity of the cytoplasm, and stabilizing cytoskeletal interactions. It is also involved in the immune response, and controls the transport of low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-derived cholesterol from a lysosome to the site of esterification. It functions as an organizer of a number of critical proteins involved in attachment, migration, and cell signaling. Mutations in this gene causes a dominant, pulverulent cataract.

OverviewI wrote a Python program that allows the generation of Dungeon World Monster Cards. They can be made from the source files containing the Dungeon World monsters or from custom YAML files.
I am pleased with the outcome. The formatting does not match the Dungeon World text, but the most significant changes are intentional. I think they make the cards easier to use. I especially like the way I categorized and ordered the tags.
ReportLabThis project was the first time that I've worked with the ReportLab Python module. It was very refreshing to do non-WYSIWYG layout. Overall my experience was very positive.

Although the 45,000 striking technical and customer support workers in nine northeastern states — including 7,300 workers in Maryland, the District of Columbia and Virginia — returned to their jobs at Verizon Corp. Aug. 22, it may still be some time before some customers have service restored.
In Laurel, a podiatrist, who by midweek was still trying to get telephone service fully connected in his new office on Mallard Drive, falls in that category.
During the strike, which started Aug. 7, thousands of customers went without service for various reasons while repair work was mainly performed by Verizon managers, leading Verizon officials to charge that fiber optic cables and other equipment were intentionally sabotaged. Communications Workers of America and International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers officials, who represent the Verizon union workers, denied charges of sabotage by striking workers and released statements expressing their stance against such acts.
Before the strike ended, Verizon spokesperson Sandra Arnette said, "Equipment boxes are cut down the middle and mangled, and there have been cables that appear to have been cut with an ax."
And regardless of who was responsible, she added, "Those are not quick fixes and will take longer to repair."
That was not good news for affected customers.
Laurel podiatrist Dr. Rahul Gor said a Verizon customer service supervisor told him last week that his office's telephone problems were probably the result of sabotage. He said the supervisor suggested that he switch his service to another company.
"I told the supervisor I didn't know if the problem was sabotage or not but that I needed my phone lines working because this is a medical office and all of my lines were dead," Gor said. "I tried to go to another service, but they said they couldn't transfer the lines from Verizon, and Verizon said there was nothing they could do and that they'd get to me when they could because they said they didn't have skilled people to do the work I needed."
Gor moved his Laurel practice from Route 1 last week to the 9800 block of Mallard Drive. He said all of his lines were supposed to be forwarded to the new address before the strike began on Aug. 7, but when he and his staff moved in, none of his lines were operational, and patients calling the office received a message saying the number was no longer in service.
"My patients had no way to get in touch with me. I had no fax line — where I get lab reports — and my other two lines were not working," Gor said. "Some of my patients thought I'd gone out of business, or skipped out or something and that was scary for some of them."
According to Gor, he resorted to sending an email to Verizon's Public Relations Office. A regional director responded and had someone call him the next morning to get a new line established so calls could be forwarded to his office.
"My main office line is forwarded (to a new number) and to get lab reports, we created another new line, and called all our labs and told them to send reports to the new line," Gor said. "So we have a temporary, stop gap, patch solution now with the two lines, which I know will increase my bill. One of the (new) lines is being forwarded to a prepaid cell phone number that I purchased for the time being."
In addition to being concerned that some of his patients may have needed medical attention when they were not able to contact his office for more than three days, Gor is also concerned that he may have lost clients as well.
"This affects your business, because if a new patient calls and hears that the telephone has been disconnected, they will go to the next doctor," Gor said. "But I do have a temporary solution now, so I won't overly complain because there are people out there with bigger problems than me with no phone service, like elderly people."
'Everyone … up and running"
In Laurel, officials with senior communities such as Morningside House of Laurel, on Cherry Lane; Patuxent River Health and Rehabilitation senior facility, on Van Dusen Road; and Central Parke at Victoria Falls, on Contee Road, all said their residents had not complained about telephone service outages. A manager at Selbourne House, senior apartment homes on Main Street, said their Internet, telephone and cable service, which Verizon provides, were working well.
That was not the case in nearby Heartlands Senior Living Village, in Howard County, where most of the community's 159 seniors lost service following a storm, shortly after Verizon workers went on strike.
"Everyone is finally up and running again," Debbie Davis, a manager at Heartlands, said Aug. 22. "The last person I knew about with no telephone service was back up yesterday."
Drop in land-line profits
Now that the strike is over and union members are working indefinitely under their old contract, Arnette said, "Verizon plans to quickly address any backlog in repairs and unfulfilled requests for service."
As for talks with the union, she said, "We still will continue to negotiate seriously on the issues affecting the long-term health of our business … benefits, cost structure, work flexibility and job security are the major issues on the table. We have made progress on a number of issues, but are not commenting on those issues until we have a final contract agreement in place with the union."
Although company reports show that Verizon made more than $106 billion last year, the company's land-line division brought in $1.2 billion less during that same time frame as more people are giving up land lines for cellular service. That drop in profits is one reason company officials said some cuts in employee benefits are necessary.
"Verizon officials had called for pension freezes for employees, for union members to contribute more to their health care plans, fewer days off and a hundred demands that equal $1 billion," said CWA spokesperson Candice Johnson. "That equals $20,000 in compensation per worker, which is unreasonable for a profitable company like Verizon."
Johnson said their members have always been willing to return to work but felt Verizon officials were not negotiating in good faith and were unwilling to compromise. Union officials have been accused of the same thing by Verizon executives. Now that an understanding has been reached that has union and company officials back at the negotiating table, both sides are optimistic that service repair problems will be addressed more quickly.
"We don't want customers to be inconvenienced as we hope to move forward in real discussions," Johnson said.
In the meantime, Gor and others still without service are hoping the inconveniences they have experienced in the aftermath of the strike will be over soon.
"I'm happy that they are back at work, but we are still without phone service and counting," Gor said. "I am still being held hostage."

Hi! My name is Kuan Yew, I am a 30-something medical doctor, born and grew up in Malaysia. Currently employed and trying to heal people to the best of my ability. Cliché as it may be but this is what I love to do and I do so through the power of laughter. When I am not working, I can usually be found behind the computer screen surfing a variety of websites, gleaning information totally unrelated to my line of work.
I enjoy reading and there is something magical about putting your legs up with a book (not the electronic type) on your lap, as the hours pass by without you noticing. I have various interests which hopefully, I can present to you through this blog of mine, to show you what is going through my mind as I juggle a long list of things I want to do. I have a passion for all things Arsenal, minimalistic, travelling, savouring good food and amateur photography to name a few.
Currently I reside in Kota Bharu, a small quaint idyllic town in the middle of nowhere with my wife and son. It is no secret, but I am not a rock star, celebrity blogger, male model or anything spectacular on the internet. I just find myself to be an active guy with varied interests.
Hopefully, this short biography gives you an insight to who I am, if there is anything specific that you would like to know, drop me a line at: lastgentlemanintown at gmail.com
Last Gentleman In Town was started in 2012 which coincide with the auspicious year of the Dragon and will cover all (almost!) aspects of my life starting from this year onwards. I believe this blog will inspire me (and maybe others) to take a leap of faith into the unknown, although there isn't anything much that is unknown nowadays.
It represents an effort to capture a smorgasbord of ideas and outcomes. That is to say, things that inspire me and things that I have done. Part sketchbook and part scrapbook. Much like the name of the blog, part ego trip and part feedback. Combine those two elements together, and voilà!
Any dream worth having, is a dream worth fighting for

Immune therapy drugs can transform lung cancer treatment, giving patients years of extra life, doctors reported Monday.
They found that pre-treating lung cancer patients with immune therapy drugs before they have surgery can help melt away the tumor and at the same time limit or even stop its spread.
And combinations of immunotherapy drugs have helped other lung cancer patients get off more toxic standard chemotherapy while also extending their lives.
The results are so startling that it is likely every lung cancer patient should be given the option of immunotherapy first, said Dr. Roy Herbst, a lung cancer specialist at Yale Cancer Center who was not involved in the studies.
https://compliance4all14.files.wordpress.com/2018/04/progress_in_lung_cancer_treatment_-png.jpg?w=150&h=107 150w, https://compliance4all14.files.wordpress.com/2018/04/progress_in_lu... 300w, https://compliance4all14.files.wordpress.com/2018/04/progress_in_lu... 768w, https://compliance4all14.files.wordpress.com/2018/04/progress_in_lu... 800w" sizes="(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px" width="512" height="367" />
"I have never seen progress move so fast," Herbst told NBC News.
Immunotherapy helps the body's immune system fight off cancer through a variety of mechanisms: by boosting immune system activity, uncloaking tumor cells and with the use of engineered immune system proteins that very specifically target tumors.
They include the new class of drugs that appear to have stalled former President Jimmy Carter's melanoma.
The drugs had been shown to help lung cancer, the No.1 cause of cancer death globally and in the United States.
In one study, a team at Johns Hopkins medical school treated 20 patients with one of the immune therapy drugs before they had surgery to remove lung cancer tumors.
A year later, 16 patients were alive and the cancer was still undetectable. Two more had their cancer come back but now have no symptoms after extra treatment. One died of lung cancer and one died of an unrelated head injury. So a year and a half later, 18 of the lung cancer patients are still alive.

Role for the scion
By K.N. Pandita
Voting for India's new President had hardly begun when the Congress Chairperson raked up the candidature of the scion of Gandhi-Nehru house for a "bigger" and "pro-active" role in the "party" and the "governance". Minimum complimentary words were exchanged between the mother and the son on the subject, one giving and the other taking.
But the large number of party sycophants, many of them as garrulous as Digvijay and Moily, were arrogant enough to assert that Rahul Gandhi takes the driver's seat. Is there something surprising in that? Once the name of Pranab Da made rounds for Raisena Hills, the cards of the Congress High Command lay open on the table. The obstruction had to be negotiated without letting political waters throw strong and swerving waves. Pranab Da had grown in stature and could have become over-manipulative as parliamentary elections of 2014 would draw near.
He had begun to show signs of assertiveness, something sacrilege in the sanctum sanctorum of Congress (I). The path is clear for the scion and the time is his, choice is his.
Almost the entire pack of 10 Janpath sycophants were attuned to the refrain of "young leadership", "enthusiastic and passionate youth leadership" etc. What did they really want to convey? Is it the reflection of the voice from the command post that the pilot of country's ship has earned his sabbatical and that a new navvy will don regal attire? The Prime Minister must be bemused on his position.
Nobody in this country has anything against either the Gandhi-Nehru house or the scion of the house. Rather they enjoy the stories hanging around the illustrious house and its dramatic personae. But what baffles most of the people is the question whether the Indian democratic structure is as feeble and rickety as to survive only with the crutches provided by the dynastic rule? The claim that democracy is firmly rooted in the Indian soil is to be accepted with a pinch of salt. Maybe it is still premature to drag things to this extreme. The drama is yet to open. But the signs are clear that sycophantology has begun to set the stage for it. As youth Congress leader Rahul has travelled the length and breadth of the country. He has traveled on bullock carts, bicycle, motorbikes and rickshawas. He has rubbed shoulders with the wretched peasants and rickshaw pullers. He has slept in barns and in mud houses. He has done all this to know what true India is. As youth Congress leader he is in touch with the youth leadership of the country knowing them personally and having interacted with them closely. In that sense he has scored higher than his late illustrious father who hardly travelled to the India that lives in villages. As such Rahul has the requisite qualifications that would make a future prime minister rich experience. In that sense, his party admirers and flatterers are not far off the point. The Indian youth would welcome a young man who knows their problems and who has tried to identify himself with them and their cause.
But then the million dollar question is why did he lose so miserably in the most important state of India and his own home state namely Utter Pradesh? We agree that elections are unpredictable in any country. But Rahul's is not an ordinary case of an ordinary constituency. Amethi is closely linked to the Gandhi-Nehru dynasty; it is something more than their home constituency. His defeat in that constituency is not a direct reflection on Rahul but on Congress Party. One hopes that the Congress think-tank has taken cognizance of the fact that there is something wrong in the party, in its approach to the problems of the people that has infuriated them and they vented their anger by rejecting not Rahul but Congress in Amethi. Therefore the real question with which the Congress, as the leading mainstream political party will have to deal with right now is to reconstruct its traditional image, to make it again as popular with the masses of people s it has been in the past and to drag it out of lethargy and stereotype and make it vibrant, responsive and innovative in mitigating the difficulties and problems staring into the eyes of the nation. Neither Rahul – the scion of Gandhi-Nehru dynasty – can do this Herculean job nor the pack of his sycophants at 10 Janpath.
India needs collective leadership of immense integrity, vision and courage. India has a role in the contemporary world but we don't have the leadership to shoulder that role. Nevertheless we have faith in our nation and this great nation will ultimately throw up the man or the woman we need to have at the helm of affairs.
