The Devil Wears Prada

It's all started with the novel, then became the movie and now a Rock band naming their group The Devil Wears Prada and next is a TV series which is quite similar with the current Ugly Betty.

LG KE850 for Prada

Previously suspected to be Apple's iPhone, the slick touch-screen cell has a minimalist design, including its white-on-black custom interface. Though made by LG, it will be entirely Prada branded and it will be far less expensive than the Motorola gold D&G RAZR.

Love this song by Simon Casey, what a nice ballad!

The Next Best Thing

This is a great movie played by Rupert Everett and Madonna despite poor review by the critics. I was confused, I normally agree with the critics especially rottentomatoes.com but this one was a shock, they only gave the movie 17%. It has elements that made it a great movie and I thought that the actings were superb, they looked real and genuine.

52 New Species Discovered on Borneo

Scientists have discovered at least 52 new species of animals and plants on the southeast Asian island of Borneo since 2005, including a catfish with protruding teeth and suction cups on its belly to help it stick to rocks, WWF International said Tuesday.
"The more we look the more we find," said Stuart Chapman, WWF International coordinator for the study of the "Heart of Borneo," a 85,000-square-mile rain forest in the center of the island where several of the new species were found. "These discoveries reaffirm Borneo's position as one of the most important centers of biodiversity in the world."
Much of Borneo, which is shared by Indonesia, Malaysia and the sultanate of Brunei, is covered by one of the world's last remaining rain forests.
The discoveries bring the total number of species newly identified on the island to more than 400 since 1996, according to WWF, known in North America as the World Wildlife Fund.
Other creatures discovered between July 2005 and September 2006 were six Siamese fighting fish, whose unique colors and markings distinguish them from close relatives, and a tree frog with bright green eyes.
The catfish, which can be identified by its pretty color pattern, is named glyptothorax exodon, a reference to the teeth that can be seen even when the its mouth is closed. The suction cups on its belly enable it to stick to smooth stones while facing the current of Indonesia's turbulent Kapuas River system.
On the Malaysian part of the island, slow-flowing blackwater streams and peat swamps are home to the paedocypris micromegethes, which is 0.35 inch long.
The creature, which gets its name from the Greek words for children and small, is tinier than all other vertebrate species on Earth except for its slightly more minuscule cousin, a 0.31-inch-long fish found on the Indonesian island of Sumatra, according to WWF.

Parkour

Parkour (often abbreviated PK) is a physical discipline of French origin in which the participant — called a traceur — attempts to pass obstacles in the fastest and most direct manner possible, using skills such as jumping, vaulting and climbing, or the more specific parkour moves. The obstacles can be anything in the environment, so parkour is often practiced in urban areas because of many suitable public structures, such as buildings, rails, and walls.

Snacks for Insomniacs

Foods that are most likely to keep you tossing and turning.
1. Caffeine. Now, you don't need a doctor to tell you that caffeine will keep you awake, but it can lurk in unexpected places. Chocolate not only contains caffeine but also alkaloids which have a stimulating effect.
2. Alcohol helps many of us feel calm and relaxed - especially that half glass of wine after a long, hard day. While this may help you fall asleep initially, it greatly diminishes the quality of sleep by disturbing neurotransmitter production, including serotonin. Alcohol is also a diuretic and may keep you running to the bathroom all night.
3. Fatty foods take longer to work their way through your system, and the process of digestion can keep you awake. Fatty foods can also exacerbate heartburn.
4. Spicy foods make heartburn worse as well.
5. Artificial sweeteners like aspartame contain phenylalanine and aspartic acid, both of which are excitatory.
So what can you raid the refrigerator for to limit the sheep count? It has a lot to do with serotonin.
1. Milk (warm or not) contains tryptophan, a precursor to serotonin. It's tryptophan in turkey that makes us so sleepy after that Thanksgiving dinner. Cheese, chicken, soy, yogurt, nuts and seeds also have tryptophan. Eat these (and all foods) at least 45 minutes prior to your planned bedtime.
2. Complex carbohydrates like beans, nuts, seeds, sweet potatoes, apples, pears, and berries can also help increase serotonin levels. Watch out for simple carbs like rice, pasta, and white bread. The impact these have on blood sugar can disturb the sleep cycle.
3. Vitamins B6 and B12 are necessary for your body to generate serotonin. B6 can be found in turkey, chicken, spinach, whole grains and seafood and B12 in animal-derived products like eggs and dairy foods.
4. Magnesium-rich foods like leafy green vegetables, whole grains, and almonds can also facilitate sleep.

Obstetrics & Gynaecology Attachment

I am now in Coombe Women's Hospital for my Obs & Gynae rotation for 6 weeks. Coombe is a big hospital and it is actually the biggest maternity hospital in Dublin. The good news is, it's not far from the place I live in, just a few minutes walk. For this 6 weeks, the students will be very busy with quizes and assignments, the programme is very organised. Oh, I already did my Obs & Gynae elective for a week back in Malaysia during summer and I hope that this rotation will be as pleasant as the one back home :)

Cell Phones Don't Cause Cancer

A huge study from Denmark offers the latest reassurance that cell phones don't trigger cancer. Scientists tracked 420,000 Danish cell phone users, including 52,000 who had gabbed on the gadgets for 10 years or more, and some who started using them 21 years ago.
They matched phone records to the famed Danish Cancer Registry that records every citizen who gets the disease — and reported Tuesday that cell-phone callers are no more likely than anyone else to suffer a range of cancer types.
The study, published in the Journal of the
National Cancer Institute, is the largest yet to find no bad news about the safety of cell phones and the radiofrequency energy they emit.
But even the lead researcher doubts it will end the debate.
"There's really no biological basis for you to be concerned about radio waves," said John Boice, a Vanderbilt University professor and scientific director of the International Epidemiology Institute in Rockville, Md. "Nonetheless, people are."
So Boice and colleagues at Copenhagen's Danish Cancer Society plan to continue tracking the Danish callers until at least some have used the phones for 30 years.
This so-called Danish cohort "is probably the strongest study out there because of the outstanding registries they keep," said Joshua Muscat of Pennsylvania State University, who also has studied cell phones and cancer.
"As the body of evidence accumulates, people can become more reassured that these devices are safe, but the final word is not there yet," Muscat added.
Cell phones beam radiofrequency energy that can penetrate the brain's outer edge, raising questions about cancers of the head and neck, brain tumors or leukemia. Most research has found no risk, but a few studies have raised questions. And while U.S. health officials insist the evidence shows no real reason for concern, they don't give the phones a definitive clean bill of health, either, pending long-term data on slow-growing cancers.
For the latest study, personal identification numbers assigned to each Dane at birth allowed researchers to match people who began using cell phones between 1982 and 1995 with cancer records.
Among 420,000 callers tracked through 2002, there were 14,249 cancers diagnosed — fewer than the 15,001 predicted from national cancer rates. Nor did the study find increased risks for any specific tumor type.

Had A Blast In Loughlinstown Hospital

Next week would be my last week in Loughlinstown hospital for my surgical rotation and I am so going to miss it. I really like this place and here are the reasons:
1) 2 tutorials per day
2) free breakfast and lunch
3) 1 conference a day where we normally get a free gift from the pharmacaeutical company who sponsors the function and provided us with free sandwhiches and cokes
3) super-friendly staffs
4) full of doctors who love to teach student
5) great patients who don't mind us taking their history and examine them
6) free printing, photo-copying and scanning, which I use it to the fullest my printing all my handouts from the intranet
