New way to approach cancer treatment discovered by British scientists.

Cancer is a scary disease, a disease we refuse to talk about and avoid thinking about. We all know that cancer is a serious illness and many of us know family members or friends that have battled with the disease. There are many things that can cause cancer, few forms of cancer treatment and nothing that can cure it. Recently however, two London scientists have a major breakthrough in the curing of cancer through the analysis of genomes.

Cancer treatments can be highly harmful to your body and break it down excessively in order to fight the disease. What makes the research such a breakthrough for these two scientists that they have discovered the genetic code of two deadly forms of cancer. This exciting discovery could mean a world of change for the standard and advanced treatment of cancer owing to the fact that the future of cancer treatment could be personalized to each patients needs. This can be possible because with this new research, cancer mutation patterns will be regarded, therefore making it easier to tailor specific treatment for individuals.

Shared ownership: A safe or useless way to enter the property market

Many of us dream of owning homes of our own, but we also know that this dream is not immediately in reach and we will have to work hard for years to make it a reality. If you have never heard of shared ownership before, maybe this buying scheme will help you own a piece of property. Younger people and first time home owners are beginning to see the benefits of shared property ownership and slowly make their way onto the property ladder by taking a small but still significant piece of the property pie.

Cycling in London gains momentum, but safety still an issue

Cycling in London is big news. Many 20-30-year olds are choosing to cycle to and from work and are basing their property purchasing or renting decisions on whether or not properties facilitate cycling. Estate agents in London should take careful note that distance from work is not the only deciding factor as cycling enthusiasts also look for bicycle storage place.

It used to be that estate agents in Clapham, Balham and Tooting had trouble keeping up with the demand for houses and flats close to tube stations and bus routes, but the new trend means that while ‘location location location’ still applies, people are more likely to buy or rent property with a little more space and located close to cycling paths.

Navigating smart casual dress codes

Smart Casual

Smart casual can be a difficult dress code to nail down; do you place more emphasis on the smart or on the casual. Smart casual is flexible by nature; where it falls on the clothing spectrum depends largely on the event or environment for which it is required. It’s relatively easy to dress for a dinner, restaurant or wedding that specifies a smart casual dress code because, usually, you know the people who will be there and are familiar with the way they dress. And even if you are stranger, all you need to do is don a nice pair of trousers and a long sleeve shirt (if you’re a man) while women can swap the trousers for a dress or skirt if they so desire.

How to dress for success in an interview

Dress for Success

Dress for success: now there is a cliché if ever there was one, but it’s also very true. If you want to be a success in the business world you need to dress the part, but before you start planning your wardrobe for long business lunches and conferences overseas, you need to overcome one important hurdle – the job interview – where dressing for success takes on a whole new meaning.

We live in a world that emphasises being true to yourself, but we also live in a world where recession is one of the most used and feared words going around. Jobs are thin on the ground and competition is fierce, which is why you need to make the best first impression possible and why you need to dress to showcase your professionalism and your drive for success.  Conservative is the way to go when it comes to interview attire; no tie-dye shirts, hoodies or jeans, instead wear an elegant ladies corporate skirt or trousers in black, grey or navy blue and pair it with a classic white blouse. Other work wear items for that all important job interview include natural coloured hosiery and closed shoes.
