Best Tips for Laptop battery Maintenance.

December 2, 2009

If you find yourself with no electrical adapter or power source and need your battery to operate for as long as possible, here are a few tips you can try when your notebook computer is in battery mode:

• Use the notebook’s power management system – In Microsoft Windows the “Power Options” power management application can be found inside the Control Panel. In the Power Options Properties tab select the “Portable/Laptop” power scheme. Many notebook manufactories also provide their own custom power management applications, which help to optimize power usage and extend battery time.

• Turn down the display brightness – You can lower the LCD brightness level to use less energy. In fact a lower brightness level also strains the eyes less and causes less fatigue.

• Close any unused applications – Applications are a burden on the system and require energy to run. Closing any unused applications will reduce that burden and any energy consumption down the line.

• Remove any unused PC Cards or USB devices from your notebook – These devices require energy even when they sit idle, so removing them can help to extend your notebook’s battery time.

• Disable Wireless LAN or Bluetooth network adapter when not in use – Ditto for the Wireless LAN or Bluetooth network adapters.

• Increase system memory – Your computer stores data for use by the CPU in system memory or as virtual memory in the hard drive. Increasing system memory helps to reduce the system’s reliance on the hard drive, which uses more
energy than system memory.

• Reduce unnecessary optical drive operation/activity – Avoid activities that require your optical drive to operate constantly, such as listening to CDs.

• Avoid graphics intensive applications – The notebook system will run in a high performance settings when using these applications, causing the battery to run down at a very quick rate.

Laptop Battery Maintenance Tips

Almost all notebooks today utilize rechargeable Lithium-ion (Li-Ion) batteries. Lithium Ion provides many benefits over earlier Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) or Nickel Cadmium (NiCd) Batteries, including less mass, better performance, and insusceptibility to the so-called “memory effect”. Despite these benefits you can maximize your battery’s lifespan by following these maintenance tips:

• New batteries must be fully charged before use – To put your battery in optimum condition for long-term usage, please fully charge the battery before its first use. Very importantly as well, for the first 3 charge cycles, always fully charge before use and fully discharge before recharging.

• Calibrate the battery every few months – Almost all notebook batteries are created with an internal microprocessor, which provides an estimate of battery conditions such as number of charges, discharges, full charge capacity and cycle charge count. The full charge capacity will become a little inaccurate after a few months and calibrating it can help restore the battery’s performance.

• Some notebooks provide calibration tools in the BIOS or a Windows application. If your notebook provides either of them, you can use them.

Are you at risk for breast cancer?

December 2, 2009

Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in American women. Approximately one out of eight women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime. It would be so nice to tell ahead of time which is the unlucky one out of every eight patients. But there is simply no reliable method to accurately predict the future occurrence of breast cancer in any one individual patient. Everyone must understand that the individual breast cancer risk calculated by mathematical models merely refers to the group of women that the individual patient belongs to. To calculate your risk, please refer to my website progressreportoncancer.wordpress.com.

The consensus opinion in the field of breast cancer research is that there is no known cause for this most common disease, with the exception of the BRCA gene, which accounts for a very small percentage of breast cancer cases. While many risk factors for breast cancer have been identified, risk does not equal cause. In various population studies, some clinically significant risk factors have been identified, including but not limited to first degree family history, atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH), lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS), and radiation exposure. Other population studies have reported “soft” risk factors, such as obesity, alcohol consumption, tobacco use, sedentary lifestyle, hormone replacement therapy, previous benign breast biopsies, age at first childbirth, and others. However, on an individual basis, there is no reliable method to predict who will develop breast cancer. Furthermore, there is no way to determine what role, if any, a particular risk factor plays in the development of an individual’s breast cancer, with the exception of a genetic link (BRCA gene). In an individual woman, identification of specific risk factors is absolutely not the same as identification of any cause or contributing factor to the development of breast cancer. Therefore, if you should become diagnosed with breast cancer, you should NOT blame yourself. Sure, you could have eaten more healthily and exercised more, but there was absolutely nothing you could do to guarantee that breast cancer would never happen to you. The only risk factor that rises to the level of a causative role is the BRCA gene, and most certainly you could not have picked your own biological parents.

“It’s tough making predictions, especially about the future”, a statement attributed to many individuals before me.

Boost Your Health With Garlic

December 2, 2009

Garlic is very popular because of its health benefits. A perennial plant and member of the lily family, the bulb of the garlic plant is used for many medicinal purposes. Garlic was used by the ancient Hebrews, Greeks, Romans, Chinese, and Egyptians. The Chinese used this herb at least three thousand years ago to treat various ailments. The Egyptians ate garlic while building pyramids to increase their strength and endurance. Hippocrates suggested that this herb be used for treatment of uterine cancer. Native Americans used garlic to fight abdominal cancer, while the Europeans used this herb during the plague years to provide immunity. The main historical uses of garlic were to treat colds, coughs, toothaches, earaches, diarrhea, infection, arteriosclerosis, headaches, dandruff, tumors, worms, and hypertension.

Garlic is nature’s antibiotic. This herb is very effective in fighting bacteria which may be resistant to other antibiotics. The herb stimulates the lymphatic system in order to throw off waste material. Garlic is different from other antibiotics in the fact that it has the ability to stimulate cell growth and activity. This herb rejuvenates all body functions. Garlic opens up blood vessels, reducing hypertension. It is known as a health-building and disease-preventing herb.

Several studies have linked garlic to a lower incidence of cardiovascular disease. This herb has been found to reduce cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood, while lowering blood pressure, increasing immunity, and reducing the blood’s clotting ability. Research suggests that eating the equivalent of one-half to one clove of garlic daily can decrease total serum cholesterol levels by about nine percent. Anticoagulant capabilities have also been found in garlic by German researchers. Garlic is able to benefit those individuals who are suffering from peripheral arterial occlusive disease, which is better known as blood clots in the legs.

Garlic also contains antitumor properties, with studies showing it having the ability to inhibit the growth of cancer-causing nitrosamine. The National Cancer Institute even recommends adding more garlic, onions, and other similar vegetables to the diet. This would lower the risk of developing stomach cancer. Results from one study showed that garlic may be toxic to some cancer cells. It may encourage the immune system to spot the invaders and destroy them, allowing a natural immune process to destroy tumor cells.

Garlic is believed to stimulate the lymphatic system by ridding itself of toxins. The Russians consider garlic to be a natural antibiotic, which is why they consume it regularly. This herb is often used to prevent disease and heal the body. It is nourishing for the entire body, especially the heart, circulation, stomach, spleen, and lungs.

Cancer, Facts you need to know, but won’t be told.

December 2, 2009

The most important part of any orthodox cancer treatments you will be offered is it must make a profit. Unfortunately we live in a world where the dollar reigns supreme, our entire lives and everything we do revolve around money, so why would it be any different with cancer? It is not.

If you or someone you care about are dealing with cancer, there are many facts you need to know to be able to successfully overcome it and the more information you gain and the more you get involved the greater the chance you will have of surviving the disease. There is no way you should blindly put your life in someone else’s hands and except just what’s on offer without knowledge.

All cancers happen for a reason and they are caused by a change in your genes but those changes are brought about by our lifestyle and environment factors. It is caused by bad diets, smoking, exposure to carcinogenic substances and our lack of exercise. Cancer cannot develop in a healthy body.

It is very rare for cancer to only have one cause, it’s more typically caused by the following; nutritional deficiencies, toxins in our environment, our sedentary lifestyle and emotional conflict. Faulty nutrition is singularly the most important causative factor in the development of all cancers.

Cancer was an exceptionally rare disease many years ago and has now become a major problem, but mainly in the industrialized world. Look at the changes in the food we now eat. Our diets are loaded with processed food and many of these items contain refined sugar, salt or fat. These are all known contributors towards cancer. Refined sugar actually feeds cancer cells and that was discovered over 70 years ago and it’s very sad that we are not told this. Other food items that contribute to cancer are pressed or processed meats and nearly all of these contain the food additives sodium nitrate or sodium nitrite. They are carcinogenic and no one will tell us that either.

Our immune system, which is our built in repair system has a very important role in why there is so much cancer and also, it’s only through the immune system that you can become totally cancer free. All cancers are a result of an immune system that didn’t destroy mutant cancer cells because it had been weakened. How do you strengthen it? There are many ways and a little exercising everyday is one of them. The immune system needs muscular activity to keep it in peak performance and you do that by getting some exercise.

We now have access to over 70,000 synthetic chemicals, most of which have been extracted from crude oil. Many of these chemicals we use on our skin as they are in personal care products and when applied, is the perfect delivery system into our blood stream. The skin is not an impermeable barrier and these products are absorb into our body the same way as medical patches work like anti nausea patches. These chemicals do cause us harm.

Any genuine treatments have to revolve around the 7 necessities of life and they are fresh air, clean water, rest, exercise and sunshine. A little sunshine helps cure cancer and doesn’t cause it. Also fresh healthy fruit and vegetables for food, and hopefully a happy heart, that is, seek help to address any emotional stress related problems.

A person when newly diagnosed with cancer is already undergoing a major health crisis and it just doesn’t make sense to tax the body further with toxic treatments. The human body is a miraculous living item and even as we slowly learn more about it we will never fully understand it completely because of its complexities. With that in mind, doesn’t it make sense to turn to nature to help you overcome cancer?

Skin cancer now top cancer among young women in UK

December 2, 2009

Melanoma, the deadliest kind of skin cancer, is now the most common cancer in young British women, the country’s leading cancer organization said Wednesday.

Skin cancer has overtaken cervical cancer as the top cancer striking women in their 20s, according to the latest data from Cancer Research United Kingdom.

The trend is particularly worrying since younger people are not generally those most susceptible to melanoma. Rates of skin cancer are typically highest in people over age 75.

But experts worry that increasing numbers of younger people being diagnosed with skin cancer could be the start of a dangerous trend. Women in their 20s make up a small percentage of all patients diagnosed with melanoma in Britain, but nearly a third of all cases occur in people younger than 50.

Based on current numbers, Cancer Research UK predicts that melanoma will become the fourth most common cancer for men and women of all ages by 2024, and that cases will jump from about 9,000 cases a year to more than 15,500.

Cancer experts attribute the rising number of skin cancer cases largely to the surge in people using tanning salons. “Spending time on sunbeds is just as dangerous as staying out too long in the sun,” said Caroline Cerny of Cancer Research UK. The organization is starting a SunSmart campaign to warn Britons of the dangers of being too bronzed.

“The intensity of UV rays in some sunbeds can be more than 10 times stronger than the midday sun,” Cerny said.

In the United States, several states require parental approval before minors can use tanning salons. Wisconsin bans people 16 and under from using tanning beds, and others ban children under 14. At least 29 states have regulations governing minors’ use of tanning salons.

In the U.K., Scottish politicians passed legislation banning those under 18 from using tanning beds, though it hasn’t yet been implemented. There are no plans for legislation in the rest of the U.K.

The World Health Organization has previously recommended that tanning beds be regulated because of their potential to damage DNA in the skin.

Experts said most deadly skin cancers could be avoided if people took the proper precautions when in the sun and avoided tanning beds.
