THIS IS THE NEW MOVE....

Amazing! some are seeking benefit, some are wasting away, some are affecting lives and yet some do not have a clue of what's next. People are having sleepless nights working hard to make the world a better place using their potential while they earn good money too.

I get inspired when I see that the world is moving at a speed that only those that are awake and have their hands on deck will catch up with the speed. That is why, I take it as a duty to keep you informed when I read articles such as this.

This is what world travelling will look like in the near feature. There is greatness inside every man. A moron did not design this, it was someones vision that was penned down. We all have potential to create, let contribute to the success of the next generation if Jesus tarries.

Is this what air travel will look like in 2050? Radical concept plane has virtual reality headsets, live outdoor scenes on the walls and more legroom (even though there are seats for 1,000 passengers)

This futuristic concept plane was designed by a team from Airport Parking & Hotels and Imperial College London

Wraparound virtual reality visors would display 3D films and live images would be proected onto the interior walls

This incredible futuristic aircraft could be the way people travel to far-flung destinations in the year 2050.

With a radical design inside and out, the concept plane features a massive cabin with 1,000 seats, virtual reality headsets, live image projections on the walls instead of windows and spacious lounges intended to improve the passenger experience.

The huge curved plane is the brainchild of a team from Airport Parking & Hotels and Imperial College London, who set out to predict what the future of flight could realistically be like in 30 to 40 years.

Airport Parking & Hotels and Imperial College London partnered to predict what the future of flight could realistically look like in 40 years

+12

A team, including aircraft design students, came up with a futuristic concept with cutting-edge technology (pictured: premium cabin)

+12

A wider aircraft creates more cabin space, and the designers filled some of it with in-flight bars that allow passengers to socialise

+12

The design team from London said there would be seating for as many as 1,000 passengers on the blended wing aircraft

+12

Thanks to its blended wing design the plane's fuselage would be wider and shorter, and it would be propelled by six biofuel engines

With a complete rethink, the team, including aircraft design PhD student Adam Omar, designed an advanced plane that bears some of the hallmarks of today’s jets and next-generation technology.

Thanks to its blended wing design its fuselage would be wider and shorter and it wouldn’t have a tail wing, and it would be propelled by six biofuel engines at the back of the body.

The widened body, with larger wings, would provide cabin space for up to 1,000 passengers, but the designers say the aircraft would have more legroom than today’s planes despite having so many people on board.

Of the notable changes, the concept plane has very few windows, which could make air travel uneasy for some.

Backseat monitors would be a thing of the past, replaced with wraparound virtual reality headsets that display 3D films and programmes

+12

In addition to improving passenger experience, the team aimed to design a plane that is fuel efficient and less harmful to the environment

The concept plane would run on low-emission biofuels and be propelled by clusters of electric fans powered by small engines

Instead, transparent LCD screens on the walls display the view outside or films, programmes or maps from the in-flight entertainment system, or relaxing scenes to help passengers fall asleep.

Backseat monitors would be a thing of the past, replaced with virtual reality headsets that are built into the seats with wraparound visors that display films or games in full 3D. The visors are designed to automatically fold away on takeoff and landing or in the event of an emergency.

In-flight bars would allow passengers to get out of their seats and socialise more freely with other travellers.

In addition to improving the passenger experience, the team aimed to design a plane that is far more fuel efficient and less harmful to the environment.

That meant eliminating the reliance on fossil fuels.

The traditional airport design would have to be overhauled in order to accommodate the planes and allow passengers to board

+12

Designers said large portions of the seating, flooring and walls could be made from ultra-light metal microlattice developed by Boeing

+12

For their high-capacity aircraft, the designers took cues from futuristic concepts previously produced by Airbus, Boeing and Nasa

The team said its concept plane would run on low-emission biofuels and be propelled by clusters of electric fans powered by small engines, producing just a tiny fraction of the emissions from current aircraft and reducing drag.

Beverley Barden, head of marketing at Airport Parking & Hotels, said: ‘Air travel has long been considered an uncomfortable way to begin a holiday.

‘With these advances in passenger space, in-flight-entertainment, and extra room for bars and relaxation areas, this will finally be a thing of the past.

‘Through working with Imperial College London, we have been able to create this groundbreaking model of what air travel will look like in 30 years or so. It’s very exciting to see what is already set to change in a relatively short time.’

I FEEL LIKE THINGS ARE GETTING BETTER!

God is still using those who are ready to be used. 'Cancer' is a terminal disease that has claimed the lives of many. This new discovery will save the life of so many too. It goes to show that there is a solution to every problem out there and that if only men will tap into their gifts the world can be a better place.

I am so excited to see that some people are focused on using their gifts to help humanity. We all are created for this purpose. There is certainly something you and I can do to make a difference. Have you ever thought of what your gift might be? I just want to encourage you that the seed of greatness inside of you is waiting to burst and disperse all over the world bearing much fruit. Be encouraged as you read this article and pray for God to open the eyes of your understanding and give you more clarity for the journey ahead.

Hope for terminal cancer patients as new trial of tumour-destroying vaccine starts in the UK

Vaccine designed to make body's immune system destroy cancer cells

Immunotherapy trial in London and Guildford follows success in the US

Patient Kelly Potter, 35, says trial has 'changed her life for the better'

By KATE PICKLES FOR MAILONLINE

PUBLISHED: 00:21, 2 March 2016 | UPDATED: 14:51, 2 March 2016

A woman with advanced cervical cancer has become one of the first people in the UK to trial a new vaccine designed to stimulate the body's immune system into destroying tumours.

Kelly Potter, 35, was diagnosed in July and told the cancer was already at stage four.

She is now one of 30 patients in the immunotherapy trial which will examine whether a vaccine is effective in encouraging the immune system to destroy cancer cells.

The treatment - for people with solid tumours and those who have failed on previous types of cancer treatment - is being tested in Guildford and London and expected to run for up to two years.

The immunotherapy trial will examine whether a vaccine is effective in stimulating the body's own immune system to destroy cancer cells with the trial expected to run for up to two years

Immunotherapy is generating great interest in the cancer research community. In February, experts in the US announced they had seen 'extraordinary' results in early trials involving terminally ill patients with blood cancer.

All patients with any solid tumour, irrespective of their type of cancer, are believed to have the potential to benefit from immunotherapy.

Miss Potter, from Beckenham, had her first injection on February 9 and is scheduled for a further seven visits.

'Although I had excellent treatment at Guy's Hospital where the cancer was stabilised, it had already spread to spots on my liver and lungs,' she said.

'So when I was told that I may be eligible for this trial, I was delighted.'

The new Vaper trial involves a vaccine and an immunity stimulating cream applied to the injection site to help the vaccine work better.

Patients will also take low-dose chemotherapy tablets and some people will also have celecoxib, which is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory.

Professor Hardev Pandha, who is leading the trial at the Surrey Cancer Research Institute, said: 'We know that the immune system in patients with advanced cancer is suppressed, so it's unable to recognise and kill cancer calls.

'In this trial we are investigating a form of immunotherapy designed to activate the body's immune system by administration of a vaccine based on fragments of a key cancer protein.'

The vaccine is designed to treat terminal cancer by making the body's immune system attack the cells

Life sciences minister George Freeman said the trial was 'pushing new boundaries' and brought hope to cancer patients.

'The prospect of a vaccine to help the body's immune system fight advanced cancer highlights the ground-breaking work being delivered by our world-leading life sciences sector, supported through the Government's continued investment in the National Institute for Health Research,' he said.

Miss Potter said she hoped the trial would result in a major breakthrough for patients like herself.

'To be part of the trial has changed my life for the better,' she said.

'It's been a very positive experience and really interesting. I feel honoured to be involved.

'My hope for the future is to beat the cancer for as long as I can and, if I can't, I have come to terms with that.

'I would like to go on and inspire others with cancer.'

Professor Peter Johnson, Cancer Research UK's chief clinician, said: 'Treatments such as the one being tested in this study may be able to direct the immune system to mistakes in our cells which turn them into cancer.

'For this target, we hope that the combination of vaccine and immune boosting treatment will be more effective than the vaccine has been previously on its own.

'For many patients in this trial, all their other options will have been explored so it's vital we continue to explore different ways to treat the disease.'

WHO IS ON THE LIST?

When I read post like this, I ask myself "what about me?" "Where am I on the list?" "Will I and can I ever be on this list in my life time?" These and many other questions run through my mind at times like this.

In trying to understand what makes the difference between these people and a host of many others out there, I have come to realise that it is our mindset and environment among many other things that influences where we get to in life.

I have heard many say, "Oh you need to belong to a cult to get on that list!" I am not sure how true that is but one thing that I can assure you is that if we believe it and take the right steps, starting with a change and transformed minds, we are few yards away from this list.

The reward for walking in purpose can get you and I on this list but if we choose to remain an employee or a nobody all our lives and never try to launch out with that gift that is unique to us alone, we will never see this as a reality.

We do not have to be in certain countries. It does not matter which part of the world we are in, once our potential is developed and used for the purpose of helping the public, the world will hear about us, we will make name, make money and above all make people glorify our Creator.

Shake off that "I cant do it mentality" and begin form some where today! Enjoy your reading.
