46. Based on the No Objection obtained from my host country can I apply for a J-1 waiver if I am a foreign medical graduate?
No, foreign medical graduates sponsored by the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG) to do their clinical training cannot apply for a waiver based on a No Objection statement.
47. Based on a No Objection statement from the home government, why are foreign medical graduates ineligible to apply for a waiver?
In accordance with Public Law 94-484, exchange visitor physicians who are admitted to the U.S. in exchange visitor status, or who acquire such status after admission on or after January 10, 1977, for the purpose of receiving graduate medical education or training are subject to the two-year foreign residence requirement of Section 212(e) of the INA. Before your medical training under the sponsorship of the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG), your home country must provide a letter of need attesting to that country's requirement for trained physicians. Therefore, the exchange visitor physicians are not eligible to apply based on No Objection statements.
48. When do I know that the No Objection statement is received?
You can ask the embassy from which you requested the No Objection statement if it has been sent to the Waiver Review Division. The Waiver Review Division unfortunately does not have the resources to notify you when a No Objection letter has been received on your behalf.
49. In a situation when my application for "no-objection" statement is denied, will it be reconsidered?
No, J1 waiver applications are exhaustively considered, and it is the policy of the Waiver Review Division not to reconsider No Objection statement applications once a final determination has been made. You may, however, reapply using another statutory basis for waiver should another one apply to your situation.
50. Based on an interested U.S. government agency (IGA) application, what are the requirements for J-1 visa waivers?
You will require:
1. A letter from the designated official of the interested U.S. Government agency explaining why:
a. Granting such a waiver is in the public interest of the U.S.
b. It would be detrimental to the agency if you return to your home country to fulfill the two-year requirement
2. All DS-2019 Forms, the data sheet application, and two self-addressed stamped envelopes

Boost Your Health With Triglycerides
Facts About Fats
|All fats and oils are made up of fat molecules called fatty acids that each person needs in moderation.
|Most of the fats and oils we eat are composed of long-chain triglycerides (LCTs):
○ Fat tissue is made up of cells that fill up with triglycerides. Many people can't store this extra energy efficiently nor does it get "burned" through exercise.
○ These extra fat cells tend to attract inflammatory cells.
○ Large fat molecules are difficult for your body to breakdown and required abundant enzymes and fuel (body energy).
○ Triglycerides are predominantly stored in the body as fat for storing energy for physical labor.
○ Triglycerides can be deposited in the arteries in their lipid forms as cholesterol.
○ For more information about Triglycerides visit http://www.webmd.com/cholesterol-management/features/the-trouble-with-triglycerides#1
Healthy Medium-Chain Triglycerides (MCTs)
|MCTs are small molecules of fat that are easily digested, absorbed, and are immediately a source of energy.
|Because the MCT molecules are smaller, they require less energy and fewer enzymes to break them down for digestion.
|Coconut oil is unique because it is composed predominately of MCT.
Coconut Oil
|Saturated fat in Medium-Chain Triglycerides (MCTs) have some amazing health benefits:
○ Weight loss because MCTs burn fat
○ Rich in fiber, vitamins and minerals
○ Promotes heart health
○ Promotes weight loss
○ Helps improve digestion and bowel function
○ Provides an immediate energy source
○ Keeps skin healthy and youthful looking
○ Supports the proper functioning of your thyroid gland
○ Enhances penetration and distribution of Essential Oils
Raspberry Oil
|Raspberry contains one of the highest levels of essential fatty acids (EFAs):
○ Stronger antioxidant that vitamin C supporting overall cell health
○ Contains a high level at 83% of Essential Fatty Acids (Omega 3 and 6)
○ Supports the reduction of oxidative stress in the body and skin
○ Contains the highest content of ellagitannins (health compounds) that help the growth and regulation of various cells and tissues in the body
○ Has been known to relax and tone the uterine muscles
○ Supports a positive effect on glucose regulation because of its oxytocic qualities (activates the happy brain chemical)
Muscadine Oil
|Muscadine Grapes benefit our health and cells in the body with its high value of derivatives:
○ Supports the immune system with its phenolic compound production that fights stress from fungal disease.
○ Increases our antioxidant intake.
○ Helps to battle the reduction in free radicles and support enzyme production.
○ Benefits heart health and other age related concerns.
○ Supports slowing the effects of aging and possibly extending life as free radicals break down our human tissues in a process called oxidation or oxidative stress.
○ Supports the reduction of oxidative stress to the heart and blood health.
○ Helps to flush out toxins and rebuild the body.
○ Helps to alleviate aches and pains.
Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center researchers Dr. E. Ann Tallant and Dr. Patricia E. Gallagher offered an abstract at last year's American Association for Cancer Research annual meeting. The closing line states, "These results demonstrate that extracts from -muscadine grape seeds and muscadine grape skins inhibit the growth of human lung, colon, prostate, breast, skin, brain and leukemia cells in vitro, -suggesting that further studies are -warranted to investigate their potential use in the prevention or treatment of cancer."

Speaking to Accountants Daily, HLB Mann Judd head of human resources Leanne Bloomfield said she has seen a highly competitive market for accountants, with firms trying new methods to get ahead of each other.
"Accounting firms are all strategising to strengthen their position in a candidate-tight market. We are all working with multi-generations with varying motivational drivers and a one-size-fits-all approach just doesn't cut it anymore," said Ms Bloomfield.
Likewise, Prime Partners director George Morice believes there is a huge surplus of accountants and jobs on the market but has seen success in attracting the right kind of talent through offering a flexible workplace environment and collaborative team approach.
"We were advertising in every way we could think, having recruiters promise us that they had a good candidate and when they came through they were no good at all," said Mr Morice.
"These people we're placing are quite often mothers returning to work or people who can't work full-time for another reason and we're happy to be flexible about that and allow them to work from home, or allow school hours, four days a week, and we're finding that we're actually getting better-quality candidates when you do that."
At HLB Mann Judd, Ms Bloomfield believes flexible working arrangements are changing the conventional full-time image that accountants hold.
"In our industry a decade ago, most employees were full-time permanent, but now there is a mix of full-time, part-time and contractors. Flexible work arrangements are now normalised and it does change how we develop staff using accelerator training programs and technology to fit," said Ms Bloomfield.
"I don't believe these are issues — it is a changing workforce to fit around people wanting to achieve that balance and we've just had to make some adjustments."
Further, Mr Morice said the firm is seeing success in opening up the traditional control hierarchy of an accounting firm.
"Accounting partners are now having to trust that their clients won't be stolen and that younger people can do as good a job as them. It is less tightly white knuckle held on to the client and shifting to a 'we're a firm providing a service', not 'I'm an accountant providing a service' model," said Mr Morice.
"If you hold that mentality that the partner controls every relationship, then you're limited, whereas if you open it up to more of your employees, then you've got a greater potential to grow.
"Candidates are looking for someone who will lead them on a career rather than pay them a salary, and they are looking for a firm that is modern and will give them advice-style work and work that is more beneficial to the client because that makes people feel good when you're helping people out."
Likewise, Ms Bloomfield believes partners at the firm have had to change their top-down approach to attract better candidates and stimulate their existing workforce.
"In a traditional industry such as accounting, it was the norm for partners to take on the role of strategy and decision making. We are finding that the younger generation want purpose in their work and to have their ideas heard," said Ms Bloomfield.
"This has taken time for partners to adjust to their needs and manage expectations. Rather than suppress the ideas of the younger generation, we have turned that around and get them involved in projects and training. Our managers are also stepping into a leadership role much earlier by contributing at strategy days.
"They want their ideas to be heard and we're definitely seeing a new enthusiasm from the younger generation."

Jose Padilla's Cafe Del Mar series of compilations inspired by and created for the sunset brigade crowding Ibiza not only offered an aural glimpse of how the other half lives but also helped launch a new industry -- selling to the world the mystique of that decadent little island off the coast of Spain.
Cam del Mar arrives in the same spirit, though project chief Rob Da Bank turns the volume down low, offering pretty instrumentals with virtually no ballast, but some rather nice flamenco guitar flame-ups, samples of rolling surf and the occasional squeal of what sounds like Fisher-Price toys. The disc's maxim is "Turn on, tune in and lie down." Though it's all very pretty, bet it's even better on the beach.

Rob Kardashian is furious with Kim Kardashian over her interview with Rolling Stone magazine.
Kim had been asked about Rob's weight issues, and she'd said that Rob would be skinnier if he was having sex and doing meth.
"It's not that mysterious, what's happening with Rob," Kim said. "He has gained weight. He feels uncomfortable being on the show, and that's OK. Do I think he smokes weed, drinks beer, hangs out and plays video games with his friends all day long? Yes."
The magazine then asked if the problem could be "hookers and meth at the Ritz", and she responded, "No no. Or he'd be skinny."
The comments didn't sit too well with Rob, who is reportedly furious with Kim.
"Rob and Kim had been cool again and were getting along," according to Us Weekly. "Now he's furious at her again for her comments to Rolling Stone. He was been bitching her out on her phone. He's mad — pissed as hell."
"Rob has blocked Kim on his phone," the website added. "He doesn't want to hear what she has to say. He says there's no excuse she could possibly have for saying that. He will not forgive her."

CrossFit Indian Trail – CrossFit
Warm-up (No Measure)
On the 2:00 x 6 (2 Full Rounds, 12:00 Total):
Minutes 1+2 – 1:40s Light Bike
Minutes 3+4 – 5 Strict Pull-Ups/Ring Rows, 10 Pushups, 15 Sit-Ups + 30 Double-Unders
Minutes 5+6 – Half of the Barbell WU (below)
Round 1 – 5 Good Mornings, 5 Elbow Rotations, 5 Strict Presses
Round 2 – 5 Deadlifts, 5 Hang Muscle Cleans, 5 Power Cleans
1 Round:
:60s Laying Front Rack Stretch
:30s Wrist Stretches on Box
Strict Handstand Pushup (10 sets @ 30% Max)
Enter your time in notes.
Each set must be unbroken, and athletes are to rest as needed between. With the piece being "for time", we are looking to challenge ourselves by getting back onto the wall sooner than we want to. As an example, if an athlete has 10 unbroken strict handstand pushups, he or she would be completing 10 x 3 for time.
Last week, during the max effort test, we had the below two options if we did not yet have (3) unbroken strict handstand pushups.
Dumbbell Strict Presses
Barbell Half Presses
After choosing our movement, complete a full max effort set if we have not. If we are testing today, complete 7 sets of the 30%. If we tested last week, let's take 30% of that and complete the full 10 today.
Bad Blood (5 Rounds for reps)
5 Rounds:
1:00 – Max Burpee Box Jumps (24″/20″)
1:00 – Power Cleans (135/95)
1:00 – Assault Bike Calories
1:00 – Rest
Enter all five rounds of totals (if we complete 10 burpees, 12 power cleans, and 12 calories on the bike, that would be 34). That way we can see our pacing throughout the five rounds. The system will compute the sum total for our score for the day.
Stimulus wise, we are looking to be in the range of 8-15+ reps each round. This won't be a very high scoring workout, in comparison to workouts with lighter loads. We want to move closer to the grind today, where we need to work hard for each repetition.
On the burpee box jumps, we are allowed to step-up the burpee, but we are looking for a two-foot jump onto the box. Slow is smooth, smooth is fast. Be methodical here as it's the start of our round. Stop our movement at the :55 to use our next full minute on the cleans.
On the power cleans, we are looking for a load we could cycle for 15+ repetitions unbroken. Here, fast singles is a great strategy for many, unless we are very strong on the barbell. With the goal across the five rounds being consistency, let's use the clock to pace our efforts.
On the final bike, the sliding scale of accumulation applies here. Towards the end of each minute, aim to bring it to a hard charging finish. Let's start at "65 miles per hour" and try to increase a bit more every :15s, finishing with a hard charge to the finish in the final interval.
Extra Credit
Warm-up (No Measure)
Focusing on finding paces today, building awareness of speeds. We'll be moving through 4 rounds of varying speeds, for a total consecutive row of 2,400 meters.
2,400 Meter Row
Meters 0-200 – 2K Pace + 15 Seconds
Meters 201-400 – 2K Pace + 10 Seconds
Meters 401-600 – 2K Pace + 5 Seconds
Not for score, and rather for recovery and pacing practice.
Let's take an athlete who has a current/estimated 2K row time as 7:00 flat. Their average /500m pace for that effort would be 1:45. So for today's workout, they would complete:
Meters 0-200 – 2:00 / 500m pace
Meters 201-400 – 1:55 / 500m pace
Meters 401-600 – 1:50 / 500m pace
After completing the last 200 meter portion above, we roll directly back to the first pace. Repeating this for a total of (4) iterations, we have our 2,400 meter row.
Stimulus Notes
Warm-up (No Measure)
Week #2 of Grunt Work.
Full cycle details posted in "Workout Prep Notes".
As mentioned last week, Tuesday's will commonly start with a skill-based focus. Using our max-effort strict handstand pushup test last week as a baseline, we'll train percentages today across 10 submaximal sets.
Conditioning comes next, in the form of 5 x 3:00 on / 1:00 off intervals.
Row recovery to finish our Tuesday.

McBee, Thomas Page. "Amateur: A True Story About What Makes a Man", Scribner, 2018.
Written With Strength and Love
Amos Lassen
When I first heard that "Amateur" was being published, I knew that the name of the author was familiar to me. I had reviewed his earlier book, "Man Alive: A True Story of Violence, Forgiveness, and Becoming a Man" and I was blown away by it. At the time that it came out, my niece was transitioning from female to male and since I had been out of the country for so long, I was totally unaware of this aspect of her life and I realized I was going to have to begin thinking in a completely new direction and that pronouns were going to change. I began to read every book about being transgender that I could get my hands on and McBee's was one of the first as well as the first book on transgender issues that I ever reviewed but then again there were not that many. I was profoundly affected by the strength and the love that the first book was written and just as I expected the second book was written with the same two qualities.
Thomas Page McBee was the first transgender man to ever box in Madison Square Garden and e also happens to be a very fine writer and gives us a new look at masculinity, violence and society. It is through his experience as a boxer that he looks at both violence and masculinity and their relationship to each other. He "confronts the betrayals and strength of his own body" as he "examines the weight of male violence, the pervasiveness of gender stereotypes, and the limitations of conventional masculinity." What he finds is a new kind of masculinity. He first thought that men are drawn to boxing by what he calls bloodlust. Then he discovers mentorship among men overcoming weaknesses. It is in the vulnerability of guys that there is hope. Here is a man who examines his own masculinity and privilege. While this a story about boxing, it is also a trans narrative and a look at what makes a man. It is the honesty with which this is written that makes it such an amazing read. As we explore male-female power dynamics, we are treated to the story of someone who becomes a new man "in ways even he couldn't anticipate."
McBee gives us an honest look at the problems with masculinity and also adds hope, possibility and happiness. Yes there are fears but we can learn to face them in ways we had not considered. and joy, and possibility. There is no shame in asking the difficult questions and often the answers lie within each of us—we just need to probe. "Thomas Page McBee is a fighter—and not only in a ring in Madison Square Garden." He is "a warrior of the human spirit, courageously investigating masculinity itself. His prose—both fierce and delicate—reveals a struggle to become a better man, and to create a better self." McBee's journey is our journey and now having taken I feel more of a man than ever. To liberate others we must first liberate ourselves and here we learn how.

Why Bill Clinton, not Hillary, appears on front pages across U.S. after historic night at the DNC
The internet cried out after former President Bill Clinton was featured on dozens of newspaper front pages Wednesday, a day after Hillary Clinton was officially selected as the Democratic nominee for president, the first woman to do so.
At the 2016 Democratic National Convention, Hillary Clinton, appeared on screen from New York to speak to attendees and those watching at home. A collage of photos of all 44 presidents, all men, was broken, like a glass ceiling, before she spoke.
"I can't believe we just put the biggest crack in that glass ceiling yet," she told the crowd. "This is really your victory. This is really your night."
But on Wednesday morning, it was Bill, not Hillary, who was splashed across newspapers front pages. People took to Twitter expressing their frustration that even if a woman can get the nomination of a major political party, she couldn't be on the front page.
However, most critics — some claiming sexism was a factor — overlooked that the timing of the speech surpassed print deadlines for newspapers, one of two main reasons for the choice of photos.
And, as San Antonio Express-News photo editors, who also ran a lead image of Bill Clinton — with a secondary image of Hillary — explained, the Democratic nominee appeared on screen, rather than in person (as is tradition), which played into the decision.
RELATED: Hillary Clinton Tells Democrats: 'We Just Put the Biggest Crack in That Glass Ceiling Yet'
A photo of a candidate on a screen, rather than the night's keynote speaker who rallied the crowd, doesn't accurately capture the moment, they said, adding that illustrating the second-night convention coverage with a keynote rather than the nominee is nothing new.
Hillary Clinton will be prominently featured on Friday's front page, after she appears in person to speak Thursday night, the editors said.
RELATED: Hillary Clinton shatters glass in dramatic DNC video
Wall Street Journal reporter Byron Tau explained to an upset Twitter user, that the reason Hillary Clinton did not make most front pages was simply due to deadlines. Hillary Clinton spoke too late, and newspapers had to use a photo of Bill. He also pointed out that when Donald Trump was officially voted the Republican nominee for president last week, images of his family appeared on the front page.
The Chicago Tribune was one of the first newspapers to be criticized on Twitter for their front page that featured a photo of Bill Clinton.
Click through the slideshow to see how newspapers handled Hillary Clinton's late-night speech and how the internet reacted.
The New York Times used a photo of the crowd to commemorate the historic night, while some, like the Austin American-Statesman, did not include a photo from the convention.
The San Antonio Express-News and Houston Chronicle both printed images of Bill Clinton. The Fort Worth Star-Telegram used a photo of the crowd as their main front page art with a smaller photo of Hillary Clinton next to an article. The Dallas Morning News used a photo of Hillary Clinton appearing on the big screen during the convention with the headline "Shattered ceiling."

But nonetheless, Hillary Clinton has made her mark. Speaking directly to young girls at home, she said, "I may become the first woman president, but one of you is next."

Publicly available records provided by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and accessed on March 2, 2018 indicate that former New York-based Maxim Group broker Amadou Bah, also known as Andrew Bah, has been sanctioned by FINRA in connection to alleged rule violations and barred from acting as a broker or otherwise associating with a broker-dealer firm.

STOCKTON - Pacific women's soccer coach Keith Coleman has analyzed the Big West Conference standings and explored all possible scenarios, and he keeps coming to the same conclusion.
STOCKTON - Pacific women's soccer coach Keith Coleman has analyzed the Big West Conference standings and explored all possible scenarios, and he keeps coming to the same conclusion.
The Tigers must win.
Pacific will play UC Santa Barbara at 7 p.m. today at Stagg Memorial Stadium in the first of three must-win matches over the next 10 days. In order to finish in the top four and qualify for the conference tournament, the Tigers will have to win each of their remaining matches and hope for help along the way.
"It's very, very possible, but all we can do is worry about trying to win (tonight)," Coleman said. "I think this weekend will sort out a ton of things, but if we win two this weekend I think we go to Davis with a chance to get in."
Long Beach State and Cal State Fullerton are tied for first place with 12 points. UC Irvine and Cal Poly are tied for third with nine points, followed by UC Riverside (7 points), UC Santa Barbara (6) and Pacific (4).
The Tigers need a certain sequence of events to unfold - some likely, some not so likely - in order to reach the conference tournament. There are at least two scenarios under which the Tigers can qualify, but only if they conclude the regular season with wins over UC Santa Barbara, Cal Poly and UC Davis.
Each team receives three points for a win and one for a tie. If the Tigers win out to finish with 13 points and UC Irvine loses three of its last four against Long Beach State, Cal State Northridge, Cal State Fullerton and UC Riverside, the Tigers would likely finish fourth. They also could finish fourth in the less likely event that Cal Poly loses three of its last four against UC Davis, Pacific, Long Beach State and Cal State Northridge.
A late surge would hardly be unprecedented at Pacific. The Tigers won three of their final four games in 2005 and reached the Big West Tournament after UC Santa Barbara upset Cal Poly on the final weekend of the regular season.
"Our players are thinking they can do exactly what that team did," Coleman said. "The difference between this team and that team is, if we get in, we can beat anybody."

On Thursday at my weekly Rotary lunch, I listened to Jathon Janove give an employer management presentation, which I found quite interesting. Janove has recently published several books on employment law-related matters, and works for Ater Wynne, a very good Portland law firm.
The most memorable concept Mr. Janove discussed was "misguided benevolence." When he first used this phrase, I admit I was a bit skeptical, imagining he was a Ayn Rand disciple opposed to charitable acts. What Janove actually means by "misguided benevolence," however, is that a manager may subconsciously shun difficult interpersonal interactions with employees, and explain it away as "being nice." For example, if an employee is not performing a particular task very well, the manager may fail to bring the issue to the employee's attention. The manager may justify this failure to take action under the guise of benevolence, but actually the motivating factor is fear of confrontation. The problem may then grow over time, causing the business organization, and its constituent employees, to suffer.
Having managed several different law offices since 2005, I can easily discern my own tendency to want to avoid difficult interpersonal interactions, although I am hopeful that I have, more often than not, overcome misdirected benevolence. In any event, it is something I will be more conscious of in the future . . .

Charleroi, 10 April 2019 – Brussels South Charleroi Airport is continuing to grow in 2019. The airport reported another increase in passenger traffic in March. 602,184 passengers have passed through BSCA this year, up from 584,880 in March 2018, an increase of 3%. Load factors for the third month of the year stand at 90%, an increase of 3% on 2018.
In March 2019, flights to and from Italy remained popular, making it the number 1 destination at Brussels South Charleroi Airport. Spain came in at second place on the rankings, followed by Morocco, France and Poland.
For the first quarter, Brussels South Charleroi Airport closed in the green. In comparison with 2018, the January-March 2019 period saw an increase of 3%. 1,671,285 passengers have taxied down the BSCA runway this quarter, up from 1,624,206 in the first quarter of 2018.
Patrick LAMBRECHTS, Chief Executive Officer ad interim of Brussels South Charleroi Airport, states: « After a somewhat turbulent first quarter, these results are in line with our forecasts. The 3% increase in the first quarter, including the month of March, is the result of the high-quality work of all our employees. Our airlines are continuing to grow with the addition of four new routes already announced this year. Development is continuing at the airport, with work on our new commercial area well underway, to offer new services and other additional products to travellers. »

In praise of GPs, unsung heroes of the healthcare system
Primary-care doctors are like the Cinderella of healthcare: overlooked and under-appreciated. But they are key to the healthcare system overall.
Ever mindful that medical specialists are usually not as good as primary-care doctors in treating problems that are outside their main area of expertise, I would often consult Dr Alvin Lum whenever my patients with mental health problems develop some medical illness.
Alvin had initially wanted to be a psychiatrist but he later decided that he would rather have a generalist approach to medicine and that his calling was to be a primary-care physician.
For a good number of years now, he has been a general practitioner in a clinic in the heartland of a Housing Board estate, providing care for his patients who come from diverse backgrounds and who have an even greater diversity of illnesses.
Many have been his patients for years - like the elderly woman he has cared for over several years and for whom he is always the first port of call whenever she is unwell.
"Once, she came to see me because she had been having frequent runs of loose stools," Alvin narrated to me not too long ago. "The physical examination was normal and though I felt that her complaints were likely to be related to an underlying anxiety, I thought it would be prudent to refer her to a gastroenterologist to rule out something more ominous, given her age and persistent loose stools - before I suggest seeing a psychiatrist."
He discussed this with the patient and her son, who agreed to go along with his recommendation and asked him to choose the specialist.
The gastroenterologist came to the same conclusion that the patient's symptoms were due to some underlying psychological cause, and referred her to a psychiatrist.
Throughout, Alvin kept in touch with the patient and her son and was at hand to offer whatever counsel and support necessary. The patient improved with some anxiolytic medication, and has since returned to see Alvin for her follow-up.
It is this sort of coordination and follow-through that is one of the defining aspects of good primary care: helping a patient navigate a hyper-specialised healthcare system which comprises a private and a public sector; ensuring that the patient goes for her specialist appointment; calling after that appointment to find out what has happened; and being available to answer any questions that the patient might have.
When I asked Alvin why she had asked him those questions that she ought to have asked the specialists, he took a while to think. "Maybe, she feels more comfortable with me," he said. What he was alluding to is that old and time-honoured intimacy and trust between doctor and patient. It is this sort of relationship that would make a patient feel comfortable enough to seek help earlier for potentially serious symptoms, instead of putting it off until it is too late.
And indeed, studies have shown that a patient is far more willing to seek help earlier if there is a regular doctor who the patient trusts as someone who understands the experience of being sick, and gives reliable and honest advice - a relationship that contributes significantly to better clinical outcomes, including lower death rates.
As a doctor providing primary care, Alvin is at the front line of our healthcare system, attending to the common - and occasionally uncommon - ailments and problems of people of all ages in the community; and a good portion of that practice is looking after patients over the long term.
It is not confined to a single consult within the limited time the doctor spends with a patient in the clinic; it is about acquiring a deeper knowledge of the patient accrued from repeated visits over time, encompassing the efforts and time in making phone calls, holding family meetings and coordinating patient care with specialists when necessary - all of which are neither chargeable nor reimbursable in any way.
Doing all these is tough for GPs in Singapore, especially those running a private general medical practice. (There are more than 2,400 GPs in the private sector and collectively they take care of 80 per cent of the primary care in Singapore.)
There is not just the care of patients but also the business side of the practice: balancing the books, paying the staff, purchasing medications and equipment, filing insurance claims, meeting the regulations of the Ministry of Health.
Other than escalating overheads, there is fierce competition among GPs themselves, from the polyclinics with their subsidised care, from other medical specialists, and even from the thousands of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners and homeopathic healers.
The competition is a double-edged sword: It keeps the consultation fees relatively affordable for patients but it compels GPs to make up with volume and that often means working long, punishing hours, seeing as many patients as possible and perhaps eschewing the more difficult and complex cases; or moving to an area like aesthetic medicine.
The expertise of GPs is broader than it is deep; and they have to grapple with whatever complaints presented by their patients and decide whether to treat, or wait, or to refer to a specialist; and they have to know every medication prescribed by any specialist that their patients come back with.
Despite the obviously intellectually and professionally demanding nature of what they have to do to keep up and not slip up in their care of patients, the status of GPs is generally viewed to be lower on the totem pole of medicine; they are generally paid less than other specialists; and there is that unfair perception that the smarter medical students would go into some specialities; and those who cannot, or who could not make up their mind, would end up being GPs who would mainly see those proverbial "cough and cold" patients.
"The common error in thinking about primary care is to see it as entry-level medicine... and because of this, rudimentary medicine - for mostly (say) the common cold and imaginary illnesses. This is a false notion," writes Dr Eric J. Cassel, who was a clinical professor of internal medicine at Cornell University in New York, in his book Doctoring: The Nature Of Primary Care Medicine. "Everyone knows, however, that knowing when you don't know requires sophisticated knowledge."
In his recent essay in The New Yorker, Dr Atul Gawande, a general and endocrine surgeon in Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, wrote of his initial impression that primary care seemed "squishy and uncertain".
Chastened by a colleague who sent him a slew of studies that showed that primary care could have very significant overall impact on the general health of the population, including lower mortality and better health, and lower medical costs, Dr Gawande admitted that "primary care… does a lot of good for people - maybe even more good, in the long run, than I will as a surgeon".
He called these doctors "incrementalists" because they give care incrementally over the course of the patient's health; treating not with those dramatic and heroic life-saving interventions that snatch a desperately ill patient from the jaws of death, but walking steadily with a patient and with nudges - to exercise, lose weight, quit smoking, eat right, et cetera - along the way to steer the patient out of trouble, and recognising problems before they happen, which quietly and almost invisibly add years of healthy life to the patient.
The Government knows this and one crucial component of the recent reorganisation of our healthcare system is the ramping up of primary care. Currently, with only two in five Singapore residents aged 18 to 69 years having a regular family doctor, the vision of the Ministry of Health is to have "One Singaporean, One Family Doctor".
Part of this transformation will include the establishment of models of team-based care, where doctors, nurses and other allied health professionals work together to deliver comprehensive, continuous and high-quality care in the community.
With time, the old bread and butter of primary care, the one-on-one visits with a sole GP, might become an anachronism; and the complex task of looking after a patient would be shared among the primary-care team, which can look after more patients - and there will be more patients with the influx of the baby boomers into the healthcare system as they get older and sicker with chronic illnesses like arthritis, hypertension and diabetes.
Beyond inserting new models of care, there must also be transformation across different fronts: from addressing the public's belief that specialised care always means better care and the consequent predilection to go straight to specialists; to that attitudinal shift among experienced GPs and new medical graduates that they will not only be a healer to anyone seeking help but also a team leader, manager and mentor of a team; and to changes in the work life of these doctors, their compensation, and their professional and public standing.
These doctors are doing what is arguably the most challenging and difficult type of doctoring. Dr Gawande's piece is fittingly titled "The Heroism of Incremental Care"; for long, these primary-care doctors have been the unsung, embattled and often battered heroes.

We chose to finish the North Coast 500 route at Inverness rather than cross west to Loch Carron again as we want to take a different route home. We are stopping at Clachnaharry to view the start of the Caledonian Canal. This is because a friend and I are undertaking a little photo project this year, she will document the Rideau canal in Ontario, Canada, which happens to be twinned with my subject, the Caledonian Canal. It takes us a little time to locate the road to access the sea lock through which boats can enter the canal, which connects the east and west coasts of Scotland, thereby saving boats the more treacherous route round the north coast and the tellingly named Cape Wrath.
This visit achieved we depart from the North Coast 500 to continue on to Grantown on Spey in the Cairngorms for a couple of nights.
SO, all I can say is the North Coast 500 is a wonderful route for a road trip and you will not be disappointed with the scenery, people you meet or things to see and do. Fantastic walks to be had everywhere and perfect for cycling too. I wish we had spent a little more time around Torridon and the North west coast but it is good to leave some treats for a return trip!

Mediterranean Diet Helps Cut Risk of Heart Attack, Stroke: Results of PREDIMED Study Presented
Results of the PREDIMED study, aimed at assessing the efficacy of the Mediterranean diet in the primary prevention of cardiovascular diseases, have been published in The New England Journal of Medicine. They show that the Mediterranean diet supplemented with extra-virgin olive oil or tree nuts reduces by 30 percent the risk of suffering a cardiovascular death, a myocardial infarction or a stroke.
The study has been coordinated by the researcher Ramon Estruch, from the Faculty of Medicine of the UB and the Hospital Clínic -- affiliated centres with the health campus of the UB, HUBc -- and has had the collaboration of the professor Rosa M. Lamuela and her team from the Natural Antioxidant Research Group of the Faculty of Pharmacy -- located at the campus of international excellence BKC -- which determined the biomarkers of Mediterranean diet consumption.
The research is part of the project PREDIMED, a multicentre trial carried out between 2003 and 2011 to study the effects of the Mediterranean diet on the primary prevention of cardiovascular diseases. The study was funded by the Carlos III Health Institute by means of the cooperative research thematic network (RETIC RD06/0045) and the CIBER of Physiopathology of Obesity and Nutrition (CIBERobn).
A total of 7,447 people with major cardiovascular risk factors participated in the study. They were divided into three dietary intervention groups: a Mediterranean diet supplemented with extra-virgin olive oil, a Mediterranean diet supplemented with nuts (walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts), and a low-fat diet (animal and vegetable). A dietician visited the patients every three months and they attended dietary training group sessions, in which they received detailed information about the Mediterranean and the low-fat diet, and the food included in each one. Moreover, they were provided with shopping lists, menus and recipes adapted to each type of diet and each season of the year.
During the study, those participants who followed any of the two types of Mediterranean diet received freely extra-virgin olive oil (one litre per week), and nuts (30 grams per day; 15 grams of walnuts, 7.5 grams of almonds and 7.5 grams of hazelnuts).
After five years, it has been proved that participants who followed any of the two types of Mediterranean diet showed a substantial reduction in the risk of suffering a cardiovascular death, a myocardial infarction or a stroke.
According to the researchers, the results of PREDIMED study are relevant as they prove that a high-vegetable fat diet is healthier at a cardiovascular level than a low-fat diet. The authors state that the study has been controversial as it provides new data to reject the idea that it is necessary to reduce fats in order to improve cardiovascular health.
Hopefully, these results will provide new references to prevent cardiovascular diseases. In addition, the design and methodology used can be easily transferred to the biomedical sector.
