The prostate gland, an essential part of the male reproductive system grows throughout your life. As you grow older, it becomes imperative to keep this organ healthy.
Here's what you can do to maintain a healthy prostate:
1. Workout to stay fit - Exercising regularly and maintaining an optimum weight can help to keep your prostate gland at an optimal health. Several types of research have revealed the beneficial aspects of exercising. It's said that physically active men are less likely to suffer from enlarged prostate if they performed a physical activity of low to moderate intensity. Likewise, physically active men who ran for 90 to 108 minutes are 20% less likely to develop erectile dysfunction.
2. Eat fruits and vegetables - Including fruits and vegetables in your diet can help to maintain a healthy prostate. Guava, papaya, tomato and watermelon are some of the options that spell good for your prostate. Vegetables like cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli and Brussels sprouts should also be included to boost the health of the gland. Ideally, you should have about 5 servings of fruits and vegetables daily.
3. Have more soy products - Eating more soy products like tofu, soy flour, soy nuts can help to keep cancer of the prostate at bay. A study published in the British Journal of Urology International revealed that men who had soy products saw a 40% decrease in their risk of developing an enlarged prostate.
4. Have selenium-rich foods - Having foods rich in selenium (a powerful trace mineral) like tuna, eggs, cashews, onions, garlic, etc can reduce your risk of developing prostate cancer.
5. Say yes to healthy fats and no to trans and saturated fats - Choosing healthy fats like avocados, nuts, and olive oil can aid in boosting prostate health. At the same time, limiting saturated fats and trans fat intake are vital for keeping the prostate gland healthy.

Sildenafil (Viagra), whose function is to inhibit a substance called Phosphodiestarase-5 or PDE5 - was initially used only for the treatment of angina pectoris (a cardiovascular problem) and pulmonary hypertension. Incidentally, it was discovered that it could help the issue of erectile dysfunction too, and thus became hugely popular in the late 1990s. The little blue pill, as it was called, ruled more than 50% of the sexual dysfunction market for more than 15 years. However, as its popularity and usage increased, so did the scientific information about this drug, and now there is an increased speculation that it could be contributing to skin cancer, specifically melanoma. This is considered as one of the most dangerous forms of skin cancer and so the safety of Viagra sildenafil came into question.
Research has shown that users of Viagra sildenafil are at a higher risk for developing melanoma. There are reports stating that about 45 million men are at an increased risk of developing melanoma due to associated Viagra sildenafil use. The risk of developing melanoma was found to increase in men using ED drugs by 21%. Though there is no conclusive proof as yet that sildenafil is the cause, research is increasingly pointing out its role in melanoma. For example, PDE5 inhibitors (sildenafil, tadalafil, vardenafil) are known to promote melanin synthesis, which may exacerbate melanoma development.
The analysis of biochemical pathways of this correlation suggests that Viagra sildenafil triggers a special biochemical action involving the growth-stimulating cGMP (cyclic guanosine monophosphate (an intracellular signaling molecule) which in turn promotes the growth of malignant melanoma. In normal cases, the enzyme phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) regulates the cGMP preventing any adverse cellular activity. Sildenafil inhibits the production of this enzyme, and potentiates a specific cGMP-related biochemical mechanism (called cGMP-cGKI pathway) , and thereby contributes to malignant melanoma. This has been proven to happen in mice and is yet to be proven in humans.
However, there are also reports which suggest that this does not happen due to Viagra sildenafil per se, but due to greater exposure to sun, which even otherwise increases the chances of skin cancer in general, and melanoma in particular. The countering theories also say that the population in which skin cancer was detected, comprised mostly of high income individuals who spent a significant amount of time holidaying on beaches and are not connected to the extensive use of Viagra per se.
Therefore, though there is a correlation that has been established, there is no definite proof that Viagra sildenafil causes skin cancer. It is however, advisable to use ED drugs after medical consultation. If a patient has a genetic predisposition to develop melanoma, it is advisable to seek medical advice before the use of ED drugs. Occasional use should not be harmful. Also, when going out in the sun, limiting exposure to direct sun and UV protection should be managed too.
Thyroid cancer affects the thyroid glands, which are located at the base of the throat. These glands produce thyroid hormones, which help in controlling the blood pressure, heart rate, weight and the body temperature.
Thyroid cancer is primarily of four types:
- Anaplastic carcinoma: This is the most severe type of thyroid cancer which is rare, but spreads extremely fast once the person is affected:
- Follicular carcinoma: This type of thyroid cancer can be cured, but it might relapse. Follicular cancer spreads quickly as well.
- Papillary carcinoma: This type of cancer is more common. It generally affects women who are still of reproductive age. The spread of papillary cancer is gradual and it is less dangerous than the types.
- Medullary carcinoma: This type occurs in the non thyroid cells in the thyroid gland. Medullary cancer is hereditary in nature.
Thyroid cancer has the following signs and symptoms:
- Lumps in the anterior neck, close to the Adam's apple.
- Hoarseness
- Enlarged glands in the neck
- Swallowing difficulties
- Complications in breathing
- Neck or throat pain
- Persistent cough without any signs of a cold.
In Ayurveda, cancer is seen as a hindrance to the life force. The cancer cells lack prana (oxygen) and produce a growth beyond the life force. It is the result of the dominance of any of the three: 'vata', 'kapha' or 'pitta' in the body. Ayurveda is all about balancing the energies in the body. Polluted environment, processed food loaded with preservatives and salts, and certain other factors can greatly affect the 'vata', 'kapha' and 'pitta'. Thyroid is the result of an aberration in the "kapha" dosha in the body.
The endocrine system produces hormones, which help in the overall functioning of the body. The 'kapha' dosha holds the endocrine system together. The thyroid glands are an important part of the body; they are a major endocrine system. Herbs that can help with thyroid cancer:
- Echinacea
- Cleavers
- Black pepper
- Ginger
- Trikatu
- Cayenne
- Cardamom
A breast examination is a way of detecting early changes that may find lumps of other growth in the breast. This is a manual form of examination that may be carried out by the doctor or even by the patient. This kind of examination helps in detecting the onset of breast cancer and helps in successful treatment of the same. It is an essential screening strategy that all women must go through. Let us cast a glance on the various details regarding this examination, and also how frequently it must be conducted.
- Age: Women who have reached the age of 18 are said to have matured physically and sexually. They should perform this examination once they have reached the said age in order to detect any anomalies in the way the physical changes occur in the breast tissue.
- Procedure: One should begin by looking at one's reflection in the mirror to find any rashes or dimpling in the breasts. The shape, size and colour of the breasts and nipples must also be studied so as to check for any anomalies. Inverted nipples, redness and soreness must also be reported to the doctor. Once you are done checking the visuals, you can raise your arms and look for any changes. Then, you will need to lie down and feel your breasts by using a circular motion. The finger pads must be used in order to check for any lumps. One must start from the centre and move the breasts sideways. Any wet and slippery feeling must be reported to the doctor immediately.
- Pressure: During the breast examination, you must use light pressure for the skin and tissue that lie beneath the breasts, while medium to moderate pressure should be used for the middle portion of the breasts. One must use a firm hand to check the tissue that lies at the back of the breasts, near the rib cage.
- Frequency: One must get into the habit of conducting a breast examination at least once a fortnight or once a month, without fail. You can also go to the gynaecologist for an examination in case you are not confident of conducting it on your own with proper movements and accuracy. You may also journalise your breast examination findings.
- Menstrual Cycles: When you are going through your menstrual cycle or period, it is important to remember that your breasts can become tender just before or after the start of the cycle. So, do not panic if you think you have found a lump or any other growth at this time. It is best to check again after a week and then visit the doctor about checking the same. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult a gynaecologist.

Penile cancer occurs when cancer.us cells form on tissues of the penis.
If caught early, penile cancer is treatable. In early stages, a cancerous tumour can be removed with little or no damage to the penis. But if it is diagnosed late, a man may lose part of or all of his penis and sometimes his life too. Hence, it's vital that you know more about this cancer.
But first, a small primer on the penis…
The penis has two types of erectile tissues, the spongy tissue that gets engorged with blood leading to an erection:
- Corpora cavernosa: This tissue forms most of the penis.
- Corpus spongiosum: This tissue forms a small portion of the penis. It also surrounds the urethra, a tube that transports urine and sperm to outside.
The erectile tissue comes wrapped in connective tissue and skin to form the organ.
Penile cancer is usually found on the 'glans' or tip of the penis, but can also occur on the shaft of the penis. Some of the common symptoms of penile cancer include sores and lumps on the penis, redness or irritation on the penis and blood discharge.
Factors that increase the risk of developing penile cancer
- Infection with human papillomavirus (HPV): This virus causes cervical cancer in women. Unprotected skin-to-skin contact as well as unprotected sex with multiple partners, increases the risk of a man getting HPV infection.
- Not being circumcised at birth: Circumcision, an operation in which a part or the entire foreskin is removed surgically is a big protection from penile cancer.
- Phimosis: This is a condition in which the foreskin cannot be pulled back over the glans or tip of the penis.
- Poor hygiene
- UV treatment for psoriasis
- Use of tobacco: The chemicals in tobacco smoke lead to genetic changes in cells of the penis, thereby leading to cancer.
Diagnosis and Treatment
Detection and diagnosis are done using tests like a biopsy in which a small sample of tissue is removed from the penis and tested for abnormalities due to cancer.
The most common ways of treating penile cancer include surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy.
Chances of Survival
Treatment of penile cancer depends on what stage it is detected at and so is prognosis. The location and size of tumour, and whether cancer has just been diagnosed or has recurred also affect prognosis.
For stage I and II penile cancer or cancer that is limited only to the penis, the five-year survival rate is 85%.
The survival rate dips substantially if cancer is diagnosed after it has spread to surrounding tissues or lymph nodes in stage III or IV. The five-year survival rate is just about 59%.
Is there any chance to cause breast cancer if we use endosis medicine. And if close relative suffering breast cancer.
Cancer is curable if diagnosed early and treated properly.
Cervical dysplasia is a type of condition which occurs before cancer. This condition is associated with abnormal cell growth occurring in the cervix, uterus, vagina and endocervical canal. Cervical dysplasia is most commonly caused by the human-papillomavirus and is a sexually transmitted infection or STI. This disease is common in young women under 30 years of age. It is worth noting however that cervical dysplasia can occur at any age whatsoever. Here are the causes of cervical dysplasia.
1. HPV infection
An infection caused by the human papilloma virus is the main reason why cervical dysplasia occurs. It is worth noting that HPV is most commonly transmitted through sex.
2. Smoking
People who smoke are twice as likely to suffer from cervical dysplasia in comparison to those who do not.
3. Immuno suppresive drugs
These are more likely to cause cervical dysplasia because they weaken the immune system of your body.
4. Organ transplant
Organ transplant also increases your chances of cervical dysplasia due to the fact that it weakens your immune system.
This is a disease which also weakens your immune response and therefore increases your chances of contracting cervical dysplasia.
There are not too many symptoms of cervical dysplasia and it can only be diagnosed using a Pap test without which more complicated tests have to be performed.
Once the diagnosis for is complete, several factors will have to be considered before deciding which treatment to give the patient. These include the age of the patient and the severity of the condition. However, in most of the cases women who have cervical dysplasia are not treated and the cell growth goes away on its own however when it is treated the following treatments are used.
2. Cone biopsy
3. Cyrosurgery
4. Electrocauterization
5. Laser surgery
If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult a gynaecologist.

The Diary of the American TeenagerMature
NOTE: Names and places have been changed to fictional places and names for privacy reasons.
June the 30th, 2012
Dear diary,
I suppose your name really isn't diary because this is actually a Microsoft Word document, but dear 'document' sounds strange so I'm going to call you 'diary'.
After reading a very entertaining book called, The Year of Secret Assignments, I've decided to start writing my thoughts out once more. Before, I stopped because my parents enjoy snooping around my personal things when I don't act they way they want me to. According to The Year of Secret Assignments, parents must respect children's privacy according to law. I have reason to believe the book took place in Wales so I doubt the law applies to the United States as well.
Another reason I'm typing is because I'm bored out of my mind. The power went out yesterday from a terrible storm that raged through our little valley. Right before everything shut off the television was screaming at us about severe thunderstorm warnings, but like we always do, we ignored it, kept calm and carried on. That is, until the TV went dark along with every other source of entertainment at our disposal. Then my father and I started pacing the house, panicking, while my mother sat there half asleep, like always, not really caring that the lights had gone out and the wind was howling like a banshee outside. Eventually my dad started the generator so we would have lights and my mom could take a shower – she had to go to work you see.
Leaves got pulled from the trees, thrown about all over kingdom come. The leaves weren't the only victims of the storm. A large tree was uprooted. Unfortunately it landed on our driveway making it impossible to pass by. My mother works midnights so the tree had to be moved. Papa (That's what I call my father) and I grabbed our flashlights and trekked down the gravel driveway to the tree. Mama (That's my mother) drove our Blazer down to shine the headlights on it so we could see. In the Blazer were the portable generator and the chainsaw. Papa started chopping the tree up, but right away he stopped and scrambled away from it.
"There's poison ivy all over it,"
It had to fall on our driveway of all places. Papa and I climbed back up the steep driveway to the house and changed into long sleeved clothing, tugging on whatever gloves we had. I had one gardening glove and one latex glove. He had on the only pair of good gloves.
While I put up my hair, Papa went down to continue chopping the tree into little bits. I ran out the door, ignoring the whimpers of my dog, Sophie, and jogged down to the fallen tree.
I yanked off my promise ring that was preventing my latex glove from sliding onto my left hand and left it with Mama for safe keeping. Together, Papa and I cleared the driveway so that Mama could get to work safely. He and I finished the night by watching some old episodes of Stargate Universe and I watched a little bit of Doctor Who in my room on my laptop. Nothing like the Doctor to cheer you up on a day without power. It was series three when he first met Donna and Martha. I loved Martha's face when she realized he had two hearts instead of one, the Doctor lying there in the hospital bed looking up at her like she was the best nurse in the world.
God I love that show.
The best part about the storm and the power outages is there's even less of a chance that my ex boyfriend/psychopath stalker will attempt to contact me again. He's obsessed with me and frankly the feeling is far from mutual. I always take pity on the poor saps that have no girlfriends. They all end up either crybabies or just straight up weird. Not that I'm one to talk – but there's a difference between weird and creepy weird. I am not creepy weird. I don't lower my voice to a really deep bass sound and say that you smell good. I don't make strange noises and flail my arms in the air, chest bumping with my buddies. I don't cry and beg for someone I 'love', quote unquote, to come back because I'm so sorry and I can change, blah, blah, blah, excuses, excuses. Also, I don't wear a top hat and have poor hygiene. My choice of boys has been rather poor. This is due to the fact I live smack dab in the middle of absolutely nowhere. Here, power outages are as common as stray cats. Camouflage is the new black and horse crap apparently grows on the bottoms of ones shoes. 'Fuck' is used in everyday conversation and 'ain't' is actually considered a real word. Every other car has rust on it. If it's not a truck however, then it's simply trash no matter what kind of car it is or what condition it's in.
I long for the cities I see in the movies with impossibly tall skyscrapers; with subways that run beneath the ground like veins run beneath the skin. Where your internet signal is always perfect and people run and scream with they see a hillbilly. I would be right at home with city dwellers. Unfortunately I'm stuck here in the little town of Dulldale, population – sorry we're too small to even count the population.
During the school year, my bus ride every morning and every evening takes two hours. This is because there are so many children hidden in the little valleys scattered all over the hills and because we all live a fair distance from the nearest school.
Also, my school is an agriculture (AG) school dedicated to the future farmers of America (FFA). One of these days I'm going to blow up the AG room so that they'll be forced to convert the wasted space into more classrooms. That way we can have more than one foreign language. I don't want to learn Spanish. Who in their right mind would want to learn Spanish? The Mexicans are taking over America, one illegal immigrant and Taco Bell at a time – I won't have them invading my home, my life! I won't speak their filthy tongue…until this fall when I have to take the class and I'll be forced to unless I want to get a bad grade.
I've always wanted to learn French. Both my first name and my last name are French. My first name means 'Victory of the People'. My last name comes from people who made shoes, so it basically means 'cobbler' or 'shoemaker'. So I suppose my name altogether, including my middle name (which is Joy), would be 'Victory of the Joyous Shoemakers'. I'm never going to France. Think of the looks people would give me when I told them my name! Who on Earth names their child 'Victory of the Joyous Shoemakers'? My mother that's who. I suppose she didn't look up what the name actually meant – she just thought it would be a sweet name for her daughter. I go by the shortened version of it, with two k's. (Have you figured out what my real name actually is yet?) I like my first name regardless; 'Victory of the People'. It inspired my penname 'Victoria Glass'. Why Glass for the last name? I don't know, I just thought it sounded good with Victoria.
Things got a bit confusing last year when a certain Richard Shoemaker (Of no relation to me despite his flaming red hair) decided to steal the notebook I'd put my story ideas in. Richards a horrid troublemaker that enjoys harassing me because it makes me red in the face – in other words, very, very angry. He saw my penname and decided to tell Victoria S. I'd stolen her name. I'd done nothing of the sort. I'd chosen the name long before I'd even noticed Victoria's existence. When we were both in Crowtown Community Children's Choir (Victoria S. and I), my kind (the crazy group that laughed too loud and never paid attention) didn't interfere with her kind (the girls who were overly concerned with their makeup and clothes). It was amongst my kind that I met my future-best-friend, River Husky. She was a bit too rambunctious for my fragile psyche but we became steadfast acquaintances all the same. Many years later we met again on our bus and became friends even though she was a grade lower than me.
It was because of Richard that Victoria S. chose to hate me. My theory is she thought I was actually talking about her or something strange in the journal. It didn't help that Richard showed the majority of my grade a picture I'd drawn of a naked boy and a naked girl kissing. I hadn't drawn any provocative parts on them – I was planning on drawing the clothes in later. When I got my notebook back it was ruined, along with the rest of its contents, so I was forced to throw it away.
Richard and I have been enemies since the day I set foot on his side of the property line. I was taking horseback riding lessons from his grandmother (Who turned out to be something of a witch. She was a very cruel woman. My mother made sure I never went back there again). I was somewhat friends with his younger sister, Alexia, and Richard decided to be mean to be just like his grandmother. I was never mean to him in the beginning – until he royally pissed me off.
And so it was that our rivalry began. I hate him with a passion for all the things he's done. I hope that one day he'll wake up and realize that he has done terrible, unspeakable things. At the beginning of the summer, we were visited by a police officer asking for him. It is obvious that he is a troublemaker, with the law and with the school.
My red hair makes everyone think I'm related to him. Nobody believes me when I tell them that even though we have the same last name, we're not related. They think I'm a liar. I am on the bottom rung of the social ladder and that makes me untrustworthy to the rest of society.
I hope that one day I'll live my dream, become a famous author, and prove that even we, the scum of the earth, can be great. With God, all things are possible.
I bid thee adieu, reader. My laptop battery is at sixty two percent and falling.
-Victoria Glass

Washington Talk; New Lobby Is Helping Wildlife Of Africa
By PHILIP SHABECOFF, Special to The New York Times
Published: June 9, 1989
WASHINGTON, June 8— Only three days after conservation groups called for an immediate end to the international ivory trade to save the African elephant, President Bush obliged, announcing a ban on all ivory imports.
Members of the Administration and members of conservation and animal welfare groups offered various explanations for the quick response: his own environmental predilections, the urging of Interior Secretary Manuel Lujan Jr., whose department is responsible for regulating traffic in international wildlife, and the growing influence of the African wildlife lobby in Washington.
Whatever the cause or combination of causes, the Administration's decision represented one of the greatest triumphs of the relatively young lobby. On the Road Toward Influence
After World War II, with much of Africa still in the hands of the colonial powers, the New York Zoological Society was the only major American conservation organization with a continuing interest in the great sub-Saharan populations of animals and birds. But then, in 1960, Russell E. Train, a tax judge who was later to become chairman of President Richard M. Nixon's Council on Environmental Quality and Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, returned from a safari to form the African Wildlife Institute.
Mr. Train is now chairman of the World Wildlife Fund in the United States, which, along with Wildlife Conservation International, a division of the New York Zoological Society, called last Friday for an immediate halt to the global ivory trade. Because an international treaty to outlaw the trade is expected by year's end, animal and conservation groups fear that poachers will slaughter as many animals as they can before then. Mr. Other groups at work to save the African elephant welcomed the action by the World Wildlife Fund. They also asked, in effect: What took you so long?
Mike McIntire, a spokesman for Friends of Animals, said: ''They are the last ones to jump on the bandwagon to call for an end of the ivory trade; they only flip-flopped after seeing that the rest of the world had already changed.'' Rift in Movement Is Seen
Christine Stevens, president of the Animal Welfare Institute, said she was happy that the World Wildlife Fund had now called for an end to the ivory trade, because she said that when only the animal protection groups did so the public and politicians ''thought we were bleeding hearts.''
But Dr. Susan Lieberman, associate director of wildlife for the Humane Society of the United States, said that if the animal protection groups had been supported 10 years ago in pressing for the passage of legislation to end the ivory trade, ''there would be a lot more elephants alive today.''
Such comments reflect a fundamental rift in the lobby. Animal protection groups, including Friends of Animals and the Humane Society, oppose all killing or capturing of wild animals; the World Wildlife Fund, the biggest international conservation organization, takes the position that wildlife has to have economic value to the African population to be saved.
Dr. Bill Clark, international program director of Friends of Animals, said he believed the South African leadership of the international World Wildlife Fund, which is based in Switzerland, was responsible for the slow response of the World Wildlife in the United States.
''Our approach is to work with the African countries,'' Mr. Train said. ''Kenya was negative about a ban on ivory even six months ago and other countries were very much opposed.'' Not the Only Issue
But the elephant is not the African wildlife lobby's only issue, though it can appear so ''because it is such an emergency,'' said Diana E. McMeekin, vice president of the African Wildlife Foundation. Wildlife groups made a strong but apparently doomed effort to save the African rhinoceros, whose horns are used as ceremonial dagger hilts in Yemen or ground for aphrodisiac powder in Asian countries. Only a few thousand are still alive in the wild.
Last year, the African wildlife lobby was successful in getting the chimpanzee protected in the United States under the Endangered Species Act. It is trying to stop or slow international traffic in millions of wild birds trapped to be sold as pets only to die before they reach the marketplace.

Optimal multiple stopping models of reload options and shout options
The reload provision in an employee stock option entitles its holder to receive one new (reload) option from the employer for each share tendered as the payment of strike upon the exercise of the stock option. The number of reloads allowed can be finite or infinite. The shout feature in a call option allows its holder to reset the option's strike price to the prevailing stock price upon shouting. We explore a symmetry relationship between the price functions of the employee reload options and shout call options. When the dividend yield of the underlying stock is zero, the value of the employee reload option can be expressed in terms of the price functions of a shout call option and a forward contract. For an employee reload option with an infinite number of allowable reloads, the payoff of the employee reload option can be related to the lookback feature of the stock price process. We also examine the optimal exercise policies of the multi-reload employee stock options. The behavior of the critical stock price at which the holder should exercise optimally is shown to depend on the relative magnitude of the dividend yield, interest rate and volatility. Our analysis of the multi-reload and multi-shout options contributes to the literature on optimal stopping policies of contingent claims with multiple stopping rights.

Unlike the other technologies, a tungsten lamp adds no distortion to the audio signal making it a pristine audio device. Not only does a tungsten lamp not add distortion, but it is also a true RMS device which accurately tracks the audio level.
The Realios TL Compressor combines high quality electronically balanced audio electronics with a tungsten lamp as a gain reduction element providing for smooth artifact free, soft-knee levelling of even the most difficult program material. This is especially useful for female vocals, bass, guitar and mixes.

PC Sales 'Stabilize,' Says IDC, But 2017 Outlook Trimmed
Research firm IDC this afternoon announced that shipments of personal computers worldwide will drop by 7.2% this year, according to the latest update to its forecast, a hair better than a May prediction of a 7.3% decline.
The firm, however, lowered its outlook for 2017 to a drop of 2.1% from what it had previously predicted would be a drop of just 1.6%.
The firm cites better-than-expected Q2 shipments, which were down 4.1%, more than 3 points better than feared. The firm thinks much of that was because of "rebuilding inventory," which IDC doesn't think will last.
PCs "are gradually stabilizing," the firm believes.
Says analyst Loren Loverde, "we still expect shipments to stabilize over the medium term, while market leaders will benefit from further consolidation."
Factors that have been helping PCs include less intense pressure from tablet computers: "Competition from other devices and longer device life have been the root causes of slower growth, but both are having less impact, opening the way to PC replacements, particularly in the commercial market."
Adds analyst Linn Huang, regarding the U.S. market, "Although we believe much of the second quarter result was related to a one-off inventory intake, there is still cause for optimism in the second half of this year; We are still ascending towards the peak education and back-to-school buying season, have a Chrome OS that is more ready for consumer primetime than it has ever been, and are anticipating some early Windows 10 transitions in enterprise."

Although valve lifters do not often go bad, sometimes they do fail and need replacement. When a lifter does fail, the replacement lifter must be properly prepared and pre-load tested before being put into service. Following the proper procedures to test and prepare a brand-new lifter prior to normal operation is required to validate the warranty by most lifter manufacturers. Proper lifter preparation will not only help prevent lifter or camshaft failure in the first few minutes of operation, it will ensure countless hours of dependable valve lifter performance.
Things You'll Need
- Cam lubricant
- Motor oil
- Engine manufacturer's service manual
- Complete auto mechanic's tool kit
- Scribe
Apply cam lube to the external surfaces of the lifter as well as the lobes of the camshaft for non-roller cams. Fill the push rod seat of the valve lifter with motor oil. Use a high quality non-synthetic oil to coat all the lifter surfaces when a roller cam is used.
Install the rocker arms and set the initial valve lash, following the procedures in the manufacturer's service manual.
Rest a scribe on the valve cover gasket surface of the cylinder head. Scribe a mark on the push rod that is seated in the new valve lifter.
Remove the rocker assembly from the cylinder head, following instructions in the engine manufacturer's shop manual, but do not remove the push rod.
Scribe another mark below the first mark on the pushrod after removing the rocker assembly, using the valve cover gasket surface of the cylinder head as a reference point. The difference between the first and second marks is the pre-load distance.
Adjust the pre-load distance, if necessary, by using either longer or shorter pushrods to ensure that the pre-load distance is within the lifter manufacturer's specifications. Repeat the procedure for all new lifters.
Reinstall the rocker arms and reset the initial valve lash after the preload test, completing the preparation of the new valve lifter.
Prime the engine's oil pump, following the instructions in the engine manufacturer's shop manual. Fill the oil filter with fresh non-synthetic motor oil to ensure proper lubrication on start-up.
Complete the reassembly of the engine, following the procedures in the manufacturer's shop manual. Fill the engine with 30-weight engine oil, and the radiator with engine coolant.
Fill the carburetor float bowl with gasoline, or prime the injector pump to facilitate fast engine start-up, ensuring that engine oil reaches the new valve lifters as rapidly as possible.
Start the engine and reset the valve lash, if necessary, and the ignition timing following the instructions in the manufacturer's shop manual. Perform initial break-in procedures for new lifters following the lifter manufacturer's instructions.
Drain the engine oil after the engine cools off. Remove and replace the oil filter, following the instructions in the engine manufacturer's shop manual. Replace the engine oil using the correct weight of non-synthetic motor oil, following the recommendations in the engine manufacturer's shop manual. The lifter has now been prepared for normal operation.
Tips & Warnings
- Follow the lifter manufacturer's recommendations for lubricating lifter prior to installation in the lifter port.
- Some cam manufacturers require that new lifters, specified by the cam manufacturer, must be installed in order for the warranty on the cam to be valid.
- Some vehicle manufacturers require that the valve lifter be immersed in motor oil before installation so that the lifter does not sustain damage during initial engine start-up after lifter replacement.
- Some lifter manufacturers recommend against the use of synthetic oils for the first 500 miles of operation.

A lot of comments that could be interpreted as selfish here.
There is a profesional beekeeper and an amature one. The last dose it for the love of the insect and the first for the profit.
I did a cutout last night for only $20 and I would do it again for the right person and location.
The left bees should get a chance to start in a new hive.
Thanks AndreiRN. You do get it.
4th year beek, did a cutout 2 months ago, in a 750k home, brought a flir gun from work, located the hive in a 3rd story bedroom ceiling. Cut out the drywall removed the hive, and the owners gripped because the plastic they layed down leaked honey onto there carpet. Didnt charge a penny, for the love a bees and got a dirty look from the homeowners.
Won't happen again, their probably thinking of sueing me..
A lot of comments that could be interpreted as self righteous here.
How can anyone assume that since a beek is 'Professional' they don't love their 'insects'?
The 'left' bees should get a chance to start in a new hive? What does that mean? Chemically contaminated sick and dieing bees need an new home? You really don't get it either.
Here is a lesson for new beeks; Sick and dieing bees that have been sprayed are a waste of time and resources. And if they are brought into your apiary you risk the health of your bees as well.

Their unparalleled achievement, built on respect and loyalty, has owed very little to luck. The decisions that have driven Rowell to the top in his professional life and have brought matchless honours to Bath could never have been constructed on anything as fickle as chance. Somehow, he has conjured the trick of organising his rugby duties around a business career that would tax most to the hilt. As chief executive of Dalgety Food Products, his work base in Market Harborough is far removed from his playground in Bath. A house in Leicestershire, purchased as the family home, is hardly ever occupied and an annual mileage of over 50,000 inevitably means that sacrifices have to be made. He has little time for golf, his favourite form of relaxation, and for as long as he remains in his new job as manager of England he concedes that his handicap is unlikely to come down. But then there was never any likelihood of him refusing the job that many believe is the fulfilment of his destiny.
Even in his playing days, which were blighted by injury, he showed great leadership qualities. Thwarted in his ambitions on the field, he channelled his energies and his considerable intellect into guiding first Gosforth and then Bath to the summit. His combined record with the clubs - eight cup victories between 1976 and 1992 and five League titles in seven years - can surely never be surpassed.
When Tony Russ, whose Leicester side defend the Pilkington Cup against the champions at Twickenham next Saturday, was asked what he envied most about Bath, he replied that it was their ability to remain in the vanguard of change. This is, of course, Rowell's stock-in-trade whether in the ice-cold surroundings of the boardroom or the frenzied passion of the scrum. When the controversial ruck and maul laws were first introduced in 1992, there was almost universal condemnation from the world's coaches. But not at Bath. Rowell called a meeting of his coaches and senior players. He told them that, like it or loathe it, they would have to live with the new laws. They devised a strategy to cope with the changes and while others were running into brick walls and squealing at the pain and frustration of it, Bath were releasing the ball far quicker and running it, their style liberated from the game's constrictions.
In matters of fitness, dietary control and the improvement of individual skills, the club have also been at the forefront. When Rowell went to Bath in 1976 the club was well stocked with gifted backs but the forwards were a motley crew lacking motivation, organisation and a spine. It was the spine Rowell needed most if he was to make anything of a club which had very little but possessed unlimited potential for growth and prosperity. It was, on reflection, a businessman's dream.
Rowell's first training session at the Rec coincided with the arrival of a raw and socially insecure recruit, Gareth Chilcott. 'Jack arrived in a swish car,' Chilcott recalls, 'I came on foot.' It was to be the start of a close and enduring association. It was also the making of Chilcott.
Rowell recognised early on that in this complex, volatile young man he had an unpolished gem who would help him form a pack on which to build his team. However, their relationship in those early years was tempestuous and both came close to despair. Once Bath were touring United States and had just played an ill-tempered and often brutal game against Boston. Chilcott had been singled out as the chief troublemaker, as he frequently was at the time. The whistle went for the end of the game and as the players headed for the club-house, Rowell came striding purposefully towards Chilcott. 'This is it,' thought Chilcott, 'I'm not going to take any more flak from this bastard.' But instead of letting rip with a tirade of criticism, Rowell motioned to the ground. 'Come on Gareth, let's sit down and have a chat,' he said. And there the two remained, cross-legged in the middle of the pitch for an hour and a half in earnest conversation.
'Jack told me many home truths that afternoon,' Chilcott says. 'He said I was letting down my family, my friends and my club but above all that I was letting myself down. He told me that I might play for England one day but not unless I changed my attitude. And finally he told me not to make any rash decision but to go off and think very hard about what I wanted.' Chilcott's immediate reaction was to leave the club and to give up rugby. 'I just didn't need it.' But the more Chilcott thought about it the more he realised that he could not do without the satisfaction he derived from the game in general and from Bath in particular.
It is Rowell's motivational skills and his understanding of human nature that set him apart. He can be an intimidating bully to some, a compassionate counsellor to others. Above all Rowell insists that those representing Bath are men of the right calibre.
When Andy Robinson first joined the club as a young flanker, Rowell told Roger Spurrell that his first-team place was in jeopardy. Not only did this bring the best out in Spurrell but it provoked ferocious rivalry in practice. Chilcott recalls that some of the most physically demanding games he has ever played have been on Bath's training ground.
Big names, big reputations but no big heads. Rowell is especially proud of that. He remembers the occasion after Paul Simpson had won his first cap and was the centre of attention. Suddenly he broke off from an interview, saying: 'Sorry, I'm going to have to go. If I'm late for training Jack will drop me.' Rowell has never flinched from taking difficult and controversial decisions. He dropped Nigel Redman for a cup final and, two seasons ago, left him out of the side again. This season there has probably not been a more valuable player to club or country.
Rowell is no tyrant, however. Even enlightened despots tend not to seek the views of others, but Rowell is constantly searching for information and drawing on the knowledge of experts. On one occasion, before a particularly big game, he was uncertain how he should approach the team talk and he asked Richard Hill what he thought the Bath club was all about. 'Winning,' came the immediate reply. It was exactly what Rowell wanted to hear. The difference between Bath and the other clubs was the difference between expectation and hope. He had the material for his team talk.
For all his apparent self-assurance, Rowell is a restless spirit on match days and those sitting next to him suffer deep bruising from elbows that are as active as his mind. During the 1984 cup final against Bristol, the occasion proved too much. Bath had started well on their first appearance in the final and had built a good lead. But gradually Bristol pulled them back until, with 10 minutes left, they were just one point behind. In the final couple of minutes Stuart Barnes, then in Bristol's colours, had a penalty to win the match. The ball sailed towards the posts and the crowd's roar was deafening. Minutes earlier, unable to take the strain and certain that Bath's dream was about to be shattered, Rowell had left his seat and was pacing distractedly behind the west stand. He interpreted the roar as heralding a Bristol victory and, distraught, he made his way to the changing-room to console his players. But Barnes had missed and it was Bath, not Bristol, who had won the cup, the beginning of a decade of dominance.
Having helped create so many international players during his time at Bath, it is only fitting that Rowell has become the England manager. It will, many think, be the stiffest challenge of his career. The perils that have befallen successful club managers at the higher levels of international competition in all sports are too numerous to recount. But Rowell is not impulsive, and would have given such considerations careful thought. Rowell is a winner. He has lived both his professional and sporting lives under the pressure of accountability and he has always kept one step ahead.
He leaves Bath with a rich legacy, a squad as strong as any in the club's history and coaches in Brian Ashton and Gareth Chilcott who, in their very different ways, will ensure that the legacy is properly maintained. If it is the mark of a man's success that events are continuously affected by what he has done then Rowell has certainly achieved that at Bath. There is not a single soul there who wishes him anything but the best.

Oh yes, of course this conditioner make a good combo with the Thickening Shampoo. I would say I can use it up after 1.5 bottles of my Thickening Shampoo, you can do the calculation. Mind you, the Thickening Shampoo is pretty dry, so this conditioner is really necessary. Plus it does make my thinning hair better now. And I have long hair over my shoulder. *if you like my review and found it useful, please click "YES" below this review and don't forget to click my username to see useful information and also you can see all the products I have actually bought and tried over 5 years now*

Ganymede was a 70-ton cutter first recorded at the Dublin Regatta on 22 July 1828 when she was owned by Colonel Madden. By the time the Colonel was elected to the Royal Yacht Squadron in 1832, he had sold Ganymede to the 3rd Lord Graves who only kept her for one season before selling her to Viscount Exmouth. After two further rapid changes of ownership, she was acquired by J.H.W.P. Smyth-Pigott in 1842 and he kept her until 1848 during which period she is known to have been painted by Condy.
Apart from her appearance at the Dublin Regatta in 1828, there is no other record of Ganymede racing and her subsequent owners appear to have used her exclusively for cruising, a pursuit which had gained considerable popularity during the reign of William IV (1830-37). The following extract is taken from Guest & Boulton's Memorials of the Royal Yacht Squadron, 1815-1900, publ. 1903:
".....Mr Smyth Pigott, in the Ganymede, was a notable disciple of the cruising school, who lived on his yacht all the year round, and spent most winters in the south. Mr. Pigott, "who is devoted to yachting and a very experienced sailor, and one of the most active members of the spirited aquatic fraternity of the R.Y.S.," as Bell's Life records. "His vessel, for man-of-war-like efficiency, order, trim, and discipline, is the beau ideal of the English gentleman's yacht," as we are told......"

Maxxie: AWOLMature
The next day, I begrudgingly did the paperwork at the estate agents. Mainly because Hadley was there with me, poking me until it was done. Oh, and he's refusing to give my hoodie back. Even though he now has like, four.
And the mother is coming over for lunch. Did she not get the hint last night? Seriously. Before she arrives, I sneak up onto the roof, intending not to be in the building with her as long as I can possibly get away with.
I sit on the edge of the roof, watching as dad's car pulls up and mum gets out of the passenger side.
"I don't know why you're bothering, Karen," I hear my dad saying. He leans out of the window to peck her on the lips.
"I'm bothering because he's our son. We've had this conversation already."
"No son of mine would've turned out like that," he states bluntly.
"Well he is your son. I've come to terms with it, why can't you?"
"It's unnatural!" he growls, "and frankly, it disgusts me. If he's allowed his own view on things, so am I." Stop being a childish fuck.
"Of course it's unnatural and I'm not entirely comfortable with it either, but he's still my son and I'm supposed to be there for him." Yeah, thanks, mum.
"You've not been there for him for the last seven years, and both of you were perfectly happy with that arrangement."
I sigh, rolling away from the edge of the roof, though I can still hear what's being said. Just more of dad slagging me off loudly in front of my house and my mum failing at defending me. I feel like I'm eighteen all over again, listening to the same shit over and over.
"You up there, dork?" Hadley's voice cut's through the argument that's going on down there in the street. I mean, they don't hear him, but it interrupts me listening to them arguing about what a fag I am. When I don't say anything, he sighs and wanders off again. So I go back to listening to my dad slating me and my mum just sighing and regretting she'd ever said anything.
Finally, my dad shuts up, but by then I'm in a pretty shitty mood and when Hadley pokes his head out of the window to yell at me to get back inside, I don't move.
"M'comin'." I tell him. I'm not. I wait til my dad's driven off and my mum's inside and I get up, walk along the roof to the next house and climb down the front of it, ignoring the weird looks. I let my feet take me away from the house, away from my parents and away from all the shit that I'd much rather avoid.
I wind up walking through Hyde Park. I say walking. I mean tripping over a rabbit hole. Shame I didn't fall down it and end up in wonderland or something. Being chased by a maniac queen and the mad hatter would've been much more fun than this.
I find a bench to sit on, a packet of cigarettes in one hand and a lighter in the other. Oh, and my phone's ringing in my pocket. I light a cigarette and with a sigh, answer my phone, not looking at the caller ID.
"Yeah?" I ask flatly. Of course, it's the mother.
"Max, where are you?" I look around, momentarily forgetting where I am altogether.
"On a bench somewhere in London. Why does it matter?"
"Well, apart from worrying me and Hadley, I was under the impression I'd be having lunch with both of you, not just Hadley."
"You'll cope without me," I mutter, lying down on the bench, resting my cigarette pack and lighter on my stomach. Hadley must have been trying to listen in because I hear her turn it onto loudspeaker.
"You really worried me, Maxxie," Hadley says and I sigh, feeling guilty now.
"It's okay. I'm probably just overreacting," he gives this tiny nervous laugh and I close my eyes for a moment. When I open them again, I swallow and take a few tokes on my cigarette before I can speak again.
"Hadley, take the phone of loudspeaker and talk to me," I mumble. I hear a click as he turns loudspeaker off. "Can you get rid of my mum for me? I just can't deal with it today."
"Uh... Sure. It might take a few minutes, though."
"Just tell her I'm not coming back and there's no point in hanging around waiting for me." He's quiet for a minute and I start to wonder what's going on.
"I'll come back when she's gone. Love you," I mutter and hang up.

In the Settings, there is a configuration marked Incremental Scanning.
What is that for?

This topic should explain the concept.
Essentially Incremental scanning and the associated "Re-scan data when older than" allows you to restrict how often the data is collected. This way detailed information like services/hotfixes/software (that can be resource intensive) are not collected at every scan.

Road safety - spillages
How to report spillages
You can report spillages using our report a report a spillage on the road form.
Spillages could include oil/gravel/sand on the road and dropped cargo. If you have been involved in an accidental spillage or see an incident of spillage on the highway, please report it. If you have any details of the offender please let us know - it may help us to recover the costs.
What we can do
We are responsible for keeping highways and roads clean and free from spillages. Where spillages are of a hazardous nature the local police and fire service may also be involved and road closures may be required. Spillages on the highway can lead to road traffic accidents or, at the very least, expense to the council.
We are not responsible for clearing spillages on private roads or private land. It is the duty of the landowner to ensure the area is cleared.

Kwai Chung in for sea change as PSA navigates in
The entry of PSA International into Hong Kong's port scene is unlikely to have an immediate visible impact on terminal charges or business relationships, but over time it will drive volume growth and help stem the erosion of our South China market share.
While the deal for 57 per cent of Asia Container Terminals (ACT) remains unsigned - NWS Holdings and CSX still have the option to match PSA's $2.6 billion offer - all indications are it will stand, giving the state-owned operator majority control of two berths at CT8 West in Kwai Chung.
It won't give PSA anywhere near equal footing with the port's dominant players, but the inclusion of the world's No2 port operator will bring a sea change in the competitive environment on Kwai Chung's historically cosy waterfront, ripples from which eventually may be felt in Shenzhen.
No one should expect a price war to break out the day PSA opens for business.
The premium it paid for ACT - more than triple a book price established in 2001 - will give PSA little incentive to start undercutting the market to attract business.
As the upstart David against the duopoly's Goliath it would be foolhardy to do so and, unlike other ACT shareholders past and present, it has plenty of commercial relationships with shipping lines to leverage to fill its berths.
Besides, just ask CSX what happens when the giants feel threatened by David.
About a year ago, senior executives from Hutchison perceived a commercial threat on the horizon when CSX, as the single largest shareholder in ACT, acquired management control of the two berths at CT8 West.
At the time, Hutchison had contracts with two of the four shipping lines in Asia's biggest shipping consortium - Japan's K-Line and Taiwan's Yangming - and saw CSX's control of CT8 West as a potential threat to the carrier's future at Hongkong International Terminals (HIT).
CSX relied on a third partner in the consortium, South Korea's Hanjin Shipping, for half of its business at CT3. The fourth partner, China's Cosco, moved its boxes over the adjacent berth at CT8 East, jointly owned by its sister firm Cosco Pacific and Hutchison.
Senior Hutchison officials felt there was significant danger of K-Line and Yangming defecting to join their alliance partners at CT8's three berths, so they made an aggressive - and successful - play for Hanjin, a move that hastened the sale of a crippled CSX's global port assets.
It would be ironic if that move, which ultimately led to PSA getting a stake in the port, now came back to haunt Hutchison.
The natural assumption is that PSA will leverage its common shareholding with NOL Group's American President Lines (APL) - they are both controlled by Temasek Holdings, the Singapore government's investment arm.
But APL, the No2 carrier on the transpacific trades by volume, is at the front end of a long-term contract with Hutchison, which assures it and its alliance partners up to five of HIT's 14 berths on short demand.
PSA's two berths, dedicated or not, are unlikely to lure the consortium away from Hutchison's grasp.
Opportunity for the newcomer is more likely to lie in Shenzhen, at the Hutchison-operated port of Yantian.
Despite Hutchison's efforts to alleviate Yantian's congestion problems, carriers still complain about the lack of operational flexibility caused by congestion at China's best natural deepwater port south of Ningbo.
'[Yantian's] berth windows are really clogging up and, with all the ships coming on stream in the next few years, that is likely to become even more prevalent,' a carrier executive said. 'They try, but basically there isn't anything more they can do to help us out there.'
With South China's container trade projected to grow at five million boxes a year for the next five years, PSA will have no shortage of opportunity to fill its new wharves.
Since it will soon be the only Kwai Chung operator that does not own a stake in Shenzhen's deep-sea ports, one can imagine its efforts to block the cross-border exodus of cargo will be a little more energetic than the others.
PSA will need more berths to bring the kind of competition that would lower the cost for shipping lines calling at the port. But that, also, may not be far off.
Another berth, CT3, is up for grabs in the CSX global ports sell-off - a deal that will be done before Christmas.
And now that PSA is a paid-up member of Hong Kong's port community, Below Deck can imagine it will be very difficult for Hong Kong Inc to persuade the government to keep it out of the bidding for CT10.
