The Best Place to do your Drivers Test?
The toughest place to get your licence might well be Dublin - the four test centres in the capital have some of the lowest pass rates in the country for the category B driving test.
While on average 49.5 per cent of tests nationally are passed, the pass rate at the Finglas test centre is just 40.15%, the numbers revealed by Dublin Live show.
The pass rate is also below the national average in Kilkenny where just 41.29% of tests end in a pass.
Meanwhile, it looks like it might be easier to get your licence in the west of the country.
The test centre in Newcastle West in Co Limerick has a pass rate of 70.33%, the highest of anywhere in the country.
Here in Kerry Figures released by the Road Safety Authority show a pass rate of 64.5% in Tralee and 61.7% in Killarney for 2016, that's a full 14 percent more than the national average.
Behind there came the test centres in Kilrush, Co Clare (65.23%), Clifden in Galway (64.32%), Roscommon (60.25%) and Skibbereen in County Cork (60.13%).
If you want to be on the road anytime soon, it just proves... the best place to learn is down here!

Startup mystery - Unable to solve
I run a generic box based on the FoxCon Fireblade mobo. There are two internal WD6400 HDs, one with Vista Home Premium installed, the other with Win7 Home Premium. Please see the attached images for system and storage info.
My level of "expertise" is "average user" with abilities to tweak around under guidance from more experienced/educated users.
Ever since I installed Win 7 on the separate drive, this computer has experienced startup problems. With help from this forum, I changed the boot sequence to boot from HD and chose the HD with Win7 as the first device.
The changes seemed to work fine as long as the computer was put to sleep and reawakened or was restarted after installation of updates and new software. When the computer is shutdown and then powered up, it fails to start properly. The sequence takes me from the Fireblade splash screen to the bootloader screen where I can choose between Win 7 and Vista. If I hit Win 7, the next screen goes dark and the computer fails to start. If I choose Vista, the computer starts normally.
After such failure to start with Win7, I have repeatedly experimented with the settings choosing the Win 7 HD as the first boot device, disabling CDROM as a boot device, etc. Every time after such experiments, and after I save and exit the settings, the computer fails to start and a message saying "computer failed to start, insert system disk into cdrom, press any key to continue" appears.
If I go back to the settings and press F7 for "optimal settings" to apply on the page with all the boot devices, boot sequence etc, the computer starts normally and the bootloader page allows me to start with Win 7.
All's well until I shutdown the computer and power it up again. Then, the dark screen mystery begins anew. As I said, the computer acts "normally" if I keep putting it to sleep and awaken it to continue my work.
I am now thinking to physically unplug the Win 7 HD from Port 4 and plug it into Port 1 where the Vista HD is plugged in and leave Vista unplugged
switch ports between the two HD -- Win 7 on 1 and Vista on 4.
Startup Repair finds nothing that it can repair. Using Last Known Good Configuration has no effect either. Restoring to a previous point is not an option since there is no "good" previous point as the problem begun immediately after I installed the second HD with Win 7 on it.
I can't think of anything else.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. :)

One of the most unique abilities that you can possess is that of being a psychic. It begins in early childhood when you can see invisible spirits or apparitions which are not visible to the rest of us. Each of us is born with the ability to hear, see and experience that which is beyond the realms of normal, the 'paranormal'.
Over time we lose our ability, on account of lack of use in most cases and being more engrossed with worldly pursuits and the distractions of day to day life. Of course if you are born in an environment where family members are supportive of psychic development, you could go on to develop your skills even further. Psychic abilities can be put to different uses, like prophesying or even resolving problems. You can make use of different tools such as tarot cards, rune casting, astrology, cowrie shells etc.
There is a general misconception that only some people possess this special trait or have the talent to develop it. This is a fallacy and each of us can develop it through daily practice. The easiest way is to remind your subconscious daily to open your psychic pathway using three simple autosuggestions. a) I am happy and feel gratitude for being open to see clearly b) I have complete faith and trust in the psychic messages and images that are conveyed to me c) I express and deliver the messages (if need be) without any sort of hesitation as I trust what I receive.
When you begin to repeat these messages, the sub-conscious mind will be trained to receive and be perceptive to psychic stimulus.
It is similar to exercising on a daily basis to build up your muscles and over time there will be a greater channelization of psychic information. This will make it easier to understand and communicate it to others. For this, you can make use of the various divination tools which are available and you are comfortable using. You can also read up on different methods of divination to decide.
An additional way to improve your metaphysical skills is through the use of Yoga, with emphasis on Kriya yoga to further develop and channel your psychic talents. Practicing Tai Chi or any other form of meditative art will also go a long way. You could join a group that is similarly inclined and read and discuss about metaphysics to further hone your skills. All it takes is an open mind, and sincere devotion!

Project Overview
Ballinger Park is a 55-acre regional park in an urban neighborhood, located adjacent to I-5, in the rapidly growing, transit-oriented, community of Mountlake Terrace on the border of King and Snohomish Counties. Ballinger Park is adjacent to Sound Transit's Lynnwood Link Light Rail Extension Project, expected to be completed in 2024, and the Interurban and Lakeview Trails. Much of the park was a city-owned golf course that was converted to a passive park in 2012. The city completed the Ballinger Park Master Plan for the park in 2015.
The existing infrastructure near the boat launch dates to the late 1970's. The master plan calls for the construction of a new boat launch in the current location, and a new floating boat dock with gangway adjacent to the launch site (this is the current location of the fishing pier). The fishing pier would be relocated north of the swimming beach area. The plan also locates the fishing pier further to the north then what is now being proposed. These changes from the master plan will shorten the walk from the existing boat launch parking area for fishermen as well as improve fishing opportunities. There is existing tire rip-rap along the shoreline near the boat ramp and under the current fishing pier that is to be removed and replaced with native plantings and more environmentally sensitive erosion control techniques. In addition, separate from the design for waterfront amenities but concurrently, the city will be replacing the restrooms with new accessible restrooms and a new asphalt pathway from the senior center to the boat launch area.

Playground Dust
Playground dust
knows more sorrow,
more unspoken agony
than a myriad of places
that don't feign merry fun.
Numberless victims
water the sand, fragments
of their ego scattered at the feet
of the victor, whose strut is only offset
by a silent
remorseful speck
of pity,
quickly squashed.
Teens congregate on swings
after school
wondering where their
lust for play has gone,
they remain, listlessly existing,
revisiting past joy,
witnessing childhoods' avid glee.
Lover's tryst,
they can't go to her house,
they can't go to his,
so they grope in the car
unsatisfied and
Father's visit,
every other weekend,
he doesn't understand his kids
and likely never will.
So they come here and
the children romp,
false hilarity making them loud,
while inside they feel
confused and sad.
Nowhere to go,
huddled against the night,
bench less uncomfortable
than the chilly ground.
The craving never ends,
will never end,
until he is no more.
He prays for a fix
or for death.
Playground dust
knows more sorrow,
more unspoken agony
than a myriad of places
that don't feign merry fun.

Happy House Plant Appreciation Day, everyone!
Is there anything without its own appreciation day? I'm doubting it. But house plants are among my favourite things, so I'm totally okay with this one! Sadly, through my many moves, and the destruction of cats, I've lost many a house plant.
Currently, I have managed to keep a happy, healthy Money Tree going. Last year I gave my mom a plant for Mother's Day, and though I am not entirely sure what it is called, it's a hearty little thing and damn near impossible for her to kill (which was the point). It may be a jade variety.
So, what's the best way to celebrate House Plant Appreciation Day? By getting a new house plant, of course! I visited a local nursery and picked myself out something easy to care for: a golden croton.
If you are looking to celebrate with a new house plant, here are my top five choices for easy maintenance:
Snake Plant
The only one on the list that I have not personally taken care of, but it comes highly recommended on many top indoor house or office plant lists. I may have to celebrate my appreciation of house plants again and pick one of these up sometime this year. They are rated among the most difficult to kill, and also purify the air (NASA approved).
Care: Indirect light, and allow the soil to dry between waterings.
Spider Plant
If you plan to cover your house in plants, invest in a spider plant. These house plants sprout off-shoots like it's going out of style. You can clip the off-shoots and root them in water, for a never-ending cycle of spider plants. As a bonus, they also purify air and are hard to kill.
Care: Indirect light. The soil needs to be able to drain very well, and allow the soil to dry between waterings.
Aloe Vera
Being a succulent, you can 'forget' to water aloe vera for a good chunk of time and it will forgive you. Aloe has a great number of uses including soothing skin irritations like rashes and burns, and moisturizing skin and scalp. Cut off the bottom leaves as you need to use them. When root-bound and healthy, expect baby aloe plants to poke up through the soil around mama – these can be removed and potted for a new plant.
Care: Place in a bright, south-facing window. Use Cactus potting soil, and allow to dry between waterings.
Shamrock can come in a wide range of colouring from bright green to a deep purple, and produce adorable little white flowers. Technically, this plant has a 'rest period' during the summer where it's supposed to be kept in darkness – I never did this, and it bloomed all the same for me come Autumn.
Care: Bright light. Well drained soil, and allow to dry between waterings.
I prefer Philodrendon over ivy for a trailing plant. It grows faster and larger, and yes, the heart-shaped leaves are pretty cute. You can train this to climb, but I have no patience for that. For a bushier plant, pinch the stems just past a leaf node to produce a new stem.
Care: Indirect, medium to bright light. Well drained soil, allow to dry between waterings. Mist plant from time to time, if your house is particularly dry.
What are some of your favourite house plants? Share with me in the comments!

Description of the ORC technology for biomass Combined Heat and Power plants as well as further possibilities for process integration
BIOS BIOENERGIESYSTEME GmbH, Graz
The ORC technology is based on a long term development with the aim to efficiently use solar energy, geothermal energy as well as energy from biomass in decentralised units. The principle of electricity generation by means of an ORC process corresponds to the conventional Rankine process. The substantial difference is that an organic working medium (hydrocarbons such as iso-pentane, iso-octane, toluene or silicon oil) with favourable thermodynamic properties at lower temperatures and pressures is used instead of water - hence the name Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC). The right choice of the organic working medium used is very important for an optimised operation of the ORC process. Considering the framework conditions given for biomass Combined Heat and Power applications (CHP plants), silicon oil is the most appropriate working fluid.
Working principle and implementation in the biomass CHP plant
Figure 1 illustrates a possible implementation of the ORC process based on the already successfully realised EU demonstration project "Biomass CHP plant Lienz". The energy produced by biomass combustion is transferred from a thermal oil boiler (inclusive thermal oil economiser) via a thermal oil cycle to the ORC process. Thermal oil is used as a heat transfer medium because the temperature required for operating the ORC process (thermal oil feed temperature 300°C) can be achieved while operating the thermal oil boiler practically at atmospheric pressure (therefore, no constant boiler supervision is needed). The pressurised organic working fluid is vaporised and slightly superheated in the evaporator by the energy supplied from the thermal oil cycle. The steam is expanded in an axial turbine which is directly connected to an asynchronous generator (no intermediate gear box is necessary). Subsequently, the expanded silicon oil passes through a regenerator (where in-cycle heat recuperation takes place which increases the electric efficiency) before it enters the condenser. The condensation of the working medium takes place at a temperature level which allows the heat recovered to be utilised as district or process heat (hot water feed temperature about 80 to 100°C). The liquid working medium then passes the feed pumps in order to regain the appropriate pressure level of the hot end of the cycle, passes the regenerator and returns to the evaporator.
The flue gas from the outlet of the thermal oil boiler (respectively from the thermal oil economiser) is cooled down from about 280°C to about 160°C by an efficient heat recovery system (for example combustion air pre-heater and hot water economiser). Subsequently, the flue gas is cleaned in a multi-cyclone (precipitation of larger dust particles) followed by a respective flue gas cleaning unit (in many cases an electro-static precipitator or a flue gas condensation unit is installed). After the flue gas cleaning unit the flue gas enters – cleaned according to the local regulations – the stack.
The ORC process can be designed in such a way that hot water feed temperatures between 80 and 120°C as well as a temperature differential between feed and return in a range of 15 to 50°C are possible. Therefore, the return temperatures vary between 50 and 100°C. On this basis the exact level of the hot water feed temperature required can be perfectly adjusted to the design requirements of the heat or cooling energy customers. For the hydronic implementation of the ORC unit, the hot water economiser should be installed after the ORC process (see Figure 1), in order to keep the level of the hot water feed temperature from the ORC as low as possible. The lower the hot water feed temperature at the condenser outlet, the higher is the electric efficiency.
Figure 2 shows some selected components of the ORC unit Lienz (nominal electric power 1,000 kW) completely mounted and insulated. The modular design as well as the description of the main components of the ORC unit is given in Figures 3 and 4. It is important to outline, that the scheme given in Figure 4 is suitable for a module size corresponding to a nominal electric power of 1,500 kW and that this design concept (configuration, space needed) is different to the one which is given in Figure 3. The size measures and draft conception drawings can be downloaded from the homepages of the relevant ORC-manufacturing companies.
Efficiencies and relevant technical data of the ORC process
The implementation of the ORC process into the overall plant should always be carried out in consideration of a possibly high production of electric energy at a simultaneously secure supply of hot water feed temperatures required from the heat consumers.
Based on the requirements from the heat consumers and the plant design chosen, the resulting hot water temperatures at the ORC condenser are determined for the nominal design point (for example: feed temperature 80°C; return temperature 60°C) and allow a net electric efficiency of about 15% (based on the primary energy input, Hu biomass). In Figure 5, the energy flow chart of the ORC unit of the biomass CHP plant Lienz at nominal load conditions is given.
Since decentralised biomass Combined Heat and Power plants are usually operated in a heat controlled mode - for economic as well as energetic reasons – the partial load behaviour and the partial load efficiency of the ORC process is very important. Due to the slowly rotating axial turbine installed and because of the thermodynamic properties of the organic working medium used the partial load behaviour of the ORC process is excellent At 40% of the net electric power of the ORC unit, the net electric efficiency still amounts to 85% of the nominal value, which was also confirmed by data evaluation, gained amongst others from the biomass CHP plant Lienz (see Figure 6). This circumstance is a substantial advantage of the ORC process in comparison to steam turbines and also steam engines, which show a stronger efficiency decrease at partial load.
The axial turbine, which is installed in the ORC process (for example see Figure 7), is optimised for small-scale CHP plants and works with a low circumferential speed and rotational frequency, hence a lower mechanical stress. The turbine also allows a direct drive of the generator without an intermediate gear box, which increases the electric efficiency. Because of the smaller specific enthalpy difference within the turbine in comparison to conventional water-steam-processes, a basic and robust turbine construction is possible. The factors mentioned above lead to improved life-cycle periods of the turbine as well as a high availability of the ORC unit.
Security aspects, process control, human resources needed
Particularly important are the high safety aspects of the ORC process. There is the possibility to have all welding seams of the pressure vessels of the ORC unit X-ray tested as well as tested at maximum pressure level. This way the time periods between recurring internal inspections by a notified body can be extended.
The process control of the ORC unit is installed over a storage-programmable logic controller (PLC), which allows the fully automated start-up and shut-down as well as the synchronisation to the public electric grid of the local utility. Load alternations of the ORC unit are also controlled fully automated over the hot water feed temperature at the outlet of the ORC condenser. It is not necessary that operation staff is at the site permanently, because also a shut-down procedure is carried out of the process control system alone. The same is true for the start-up procedures. In a pre-heated or still hot condition of the ORC unit, the ORC process can be coupled to the public electric grid within 15 minutes (after processing the continuous security tests required). A continuous operation of the ORC unit is possible between 10% and 100% of the nominal load.
As already mentioned the ORC process is connected with the thermal oil boiler (inclusive the thermal oil economiser) via a thermal oil cycle. The heat transfer medium (thermal oil) allows an operation of the thermal oil boiler practically at atmospheric pressure ranges despite high operation temperatures required. Therefore, no constant boiler supervision is needed, which results in lower personal costs in comparison to the conventional steam boiler operation. Furthermore, a water treatment is not necessary for an ORC unit, which would be the case for water / steam as a heat transfer medium. The operation of the ORC process (as mentioned above) is not under the regulations of the steam boiler operation law.
ORC processes are characterised by a high reliability and low numbers of breakdowns, which is confirmed through the experiences gained from the applications in the area of geothermal energy production. Since the ORC process is operated as a closed cycle and therefore marginal losses of the working fluid occur, the operating costs are relatively low. There are only moderate costs for lubricants, maintenance and personnel. Because of the fully automated process control, a practically unmanned operation of the ORC process is possible. Regarding maintenance required, it is common practice to have an inspection once a year from the manufacturing company, which lasts 1 to 2 days. Eventually occurring alarms are easily traceable by the process visualisation system and the operation data acquisition system via the user interface of the process control system (work station with monitor and printer) and can be forwarded in time to the operating staff over a GSM system.
Further development of the ORC-Process
The following paragraphs give a short overview of the ongoing development of the ORC process which occurred within the last years and which is still in process: The focus of the development concentrates on improving the electric efficiency of the ORC unit. For detailed information about these improvement potentials, please see the download section at the bottom of this page.
In this respect, the newly designed ORC process with a branched condensate cycle (also known as split system) is an interesting option to the conventional system described above. This new technological approach enables due to an enhanced interconnection of the thermal oil circuit as well as the condensate circuit of the ORC process an additional utilisation of heat from the flue gas in a second thermal oil economiser (see Figure 8). In comparison with the conventional system a higher portion of energy of the flue gas can be transferred to the ORC process which leads to a significant higher electrical efficiency of the total installation in comparison to state-of-the-art systems. However, the additional head exchangers and hydraulic components required for the split system lead to higher investment costs.
A further possibility to improve the electric plant efficiency of the ORC process is given by an increase in the thermal oil temperatures. A higher temperature difference between feed and return in the thermal oil system leads to a reduction of operating costs because of lower costs for a reduced operation of the thermal oil pumps. Typical feed and return temperatures in the thermal oil system are e.g. 315/250 °C in comparison with 300/250 °C at state-of-the-art systems. As consequence of the higher operation temperatures it has to be stated, that the life-cycle period of the thermal oil used will decrease.
The increase of the thermal oil temperatures in combination with the implementation of the split system mentioned above enables an improvement in the electric plant efficiency of about 10% in comparison to state-of-the-art systems. The improvement in efficiency is depending on the real conditions like the moisture content of the biomass fuel or the respective effort in the plant design and can be calculated.
Power production based on waste heat and further utilisation possibilities of the ORC-Process
The ORC process is especially suited for the power production based on industrial waste heat. In order to produce electricity waste heat is transferred to a thermal oil cycle and further on to the ORC unit by heat exchangers. The ORC unit produces electric energy which can be used to cover the auxiliary power demand of the manufacturing plant or for the feed-in into the public grid. Additionally, the ORC unit produces low temperature heat. Depending on the site constraints of the manufacturing plant the low temperature heat can be used as low temperature process heat (e.g. drying), for the internal space heat supply or external heat consumers (e.g. via a district heating system).
An innovative process implementation is given by the possibility to implement the ORC process in a fluidised-bed-steam-gasification process (see Figure 9). This seems to be meaningful for CHP plants in a range of 2.5 MWel from an energetic as well as economic point of view. By coupling these different CHP technologies, an improvement of the electric plant efficiency of about 20% can be expected.
Strengths of the ORC technology:
- Excellent partial load behaviour
- Ability for quick load alternations (in particular an advantage for heat controlled operation and achieving high annual utilisation rates)
- Mature and reliable technology
- No danger of droplet erosion on turbine blades (because of the favourable thermodynamic properties at lower of the working medium used)
- No constant steam boiler supervision is needed
- High degree of automation
- Low maintenance costs
- The implementation of ORC units in existing biomass combustion plants is relatively easy
- Various possibilities for process integration

Men's Gift Guide
We're in the final stretch and if you're anything like me, you save the hardest person for last. Which is always the men. Collin is very picky about what he wears, he buys himself mostly what he wants and is a man of few needs. He isn't into tools, doesn't love to drink beer and doesn't have a beard that needs oil and combs... SO... finding something that he will USE and love is challenging. Here's what I came up with.... (BONUS: all but one of these are on amazon, which means you have plenty of time to order before Christmas!!)
Ugg Slippers: Because these are cozy AF and we all need a pair
Beanie: Because we basically live in the tundra 9 months out of the year and throwing on a cozy beanie all weekend is the way to go.
Beats Pill: Because Collin is obsessed with music around the house and this little guy is SO loud & SO portable!
Silicone Ring: Because no ring isn't an option in our house and this allows him to workout without taking his ring off. Super comfortable! (and great stocking stuffer!)
Books: Because we can all afford to learn something, get better and put down our phones to read. These are Collin's favorites right now: OWN THE MOMENT / THE SUBTLE ART OF NOT GIVING A F*CK / THE MASK OF MASCULINITY
AWAY Carryon: Because we've all fallen victim to a dead phone while traveling, and this handy bag charges your phone, looks sexy and is totally durable. Collin travels quite a bit and this is high on his list
Wireless Headphones: Because apparently having a cord hanging out of your shirt is just not cool at the gym.
Tennis Shoes: Because these babies are as light as a feather and totally versatile.
Hope you're enjoying the holiday spirit - we're getting very very close!!! XO

Cancer- Causes, how to reduce risk factors and improve quality of life
- The entire body consists of cells, each of which containing its own genetic material or DNA. In a healthy body, cells grow at a controlled rate to grow and repair damaged tissues and replace dying cells. This predetermined rate of cell division helps keep our bodies healthy. When the cells keep multiplying when new ones are not necessary, a mass of tissue known as a growth or tumor is formed.
- A tumor can either be benign or malignant. Benign ones are non-cancerous, can occur anywhere on the body but does not pose threats to health or metastasize/spread to other parts of the body)
- Malignant tumors are cancerous, usually serious and life-threatening. They grow uncontrollably, interfere with normal metabolic and organ functioning and able to metastasize and invade other body tissues
- When a portion of a cell's DNA is damaged, the cell can become abnormal. Most of the time, our bodies are able to destroy these abnormal cells and maintain cellular equilibrium but if a crucial portion of the DNA is destroyed, abnormal cells cannot be controlled any longer and cancer forms
- All cancer cells have these in common: they grow uncontrollably and are able to metastasize
- Cancer cells can spread through the lymphatic system, the bloodstream, cerebrospinal fluid etcetera
- The immune system generally does not recognize cancer cells as dangerous or foreign
- A combination of genetic, behavioural, environmental and lifestyle factors is believed to be involved in turning cells into abnormal cells and abnormal cells into cancer
- According to the American Cancer society, fifty percent of all men and thirty three percent of all women in the Unites States will develop some form of cancer at some point in their lives
- Possible causes or contributing factors to the development and growth of cancer can be divided into three categories: External, Internal and Lifestyle
- External Factors include:
- Unhealthy workplace environments and exposure to air and water pollution, chemicals, pesticides and herbicides
- Internal Factors include:
- Genetics (heredity) and Infections
- Lifestyle factors
- Are those that we can most readily control
- Scientists believe these factors account for the largest proportion of cancers
- Include diet (high in fat and low in fibre), smoking, drinking and sun exposure
- Major factors contributing to cancer based on researchers [1]
- Growing Older
- Tobacco
- Sunlight
- Ionizing radiation
- Certain chemicals and other substances
- Some viruses and bacteria
- Certain hormones
- Family history of cancer
- Alcohol
Poor diet, lack of physical activity, being overweight
Positive Quotes for Everyone
Types of Cancer
- There are more than one hundred different varieties of cancer with different causes, different symptoms and vary in aggressiveness (speed of spread). However, most cancer types fall into four broad categories as follows:
I. Carcinomas; cancers that affect the skin, mucous membranes, glands and internal organs
II. Leukemias; cancers of the blood-forming tissues
III. Sarcomas; cancers that affect muscles, connective tissue and bones
IV. Lymphomas; cancers that affect the lymphatic system
What are the signs and symptoms to look for?
The Classic Early Warning signs of Cancer include:
- Unexplained weight loss
- Fever
- Fatigue
- Pain
- Skin changes
- For Specific cancers:
- Change in bowel habits
- Sores that do not heal
- White patches inside the mouth
- Unusual bleeding or discharge
- Thickening lump in breast or anywhere in the body
- Indigestion or trouble swallowing
- Recent change in wart or mole
- Nagging cough
IIGF-1 and its role in cancer risk
IGF-1 and its role in cancer risk
IGF-1 or Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 is responsible for cell growth and are usually in increased amounts to encourage normal growth when we were younger.
The amount of IGF-1 each of us have depends on genetics or inheritance and largely upon the type of diet and lifestyle we adopt. Having increased levels of IGF-1 in our bodies when we are adults increases the risks of not only developing cancers but also heart disease and diabetes as well.
Our cells in our bodies are programmed to divide especially during our childhood. IGF-1 promotes rapid cell division, thus increasing the risk of uncontrolled cell growth which can lead to cancer.
So how do we reduce IGF-1? Research has found that centurians tend to adopt a healthy diet and lifestyle consisting of calorie restriction diets with the most nutritional value from wholesome nutritious foods one can pack into their daily calorie intake. This helps trigger the cells in our bodies to repair existing cells instead of rapidly dividing and possible metastasizing to cancers.
Conventional Treatments
Conventional [1]:
- Some types of cancer are treated with Chemotherapy which can cause cancer to go into remission where highly toxic medications meant to kill cancer cells are administered. Most chemotherapy however destroy normal cells in the process, leading to adverse side effects like hair loss, extreme nausea, vomiting, fatigue, weakness, sterility and damage to the kidneys and heart. This is where certain nutrients may help avoid some of the damage caused by chemotherapy such as Vitamin B6, Coenzyme Q10, Glutathione and Vitamin C
- Radiation therapy sometimes may be recommended where concentrated X-rays are directed at a tumor to kill cancerous cells. Side effects include fever, headache, nausea, vomiting and appetite loss
- Moderate use of low-dosage aspirin may aid in killing tumor cells
- Non-small cell lung cancers (the majority of lung cancer s in United States) may be treated with porfimer, gefitinib,and gemcitabine in combination with cisplatin. Paclitaxel in combination with cisplatin is still being investigated
- Doxorubicin (Adriamycin), a potent chemotherapeutic drug used in treating many forms of cancer that is unresponsive to cisplatin. Avoid curcumin (turmeric) whilst on this medication
- Genetially engineered virus ONYX-15 has been designed to infect and kill cancer cells without harming healthy ones
- Other drugs undergoing testing as cancer therapies are:
- Angiostatin and endostatin; promising anticancer agents to stop growth of new blood vessels to feed tumors
- BR96-DOX, drug that zeroes in on cancer cells whilst leaving healthy cells alone (active ingredient is doxorubicin; a proven chemotherapy cancer-killing agent)
- Hydrazine sulphate, a monoamine oxidase inhibitor available as a dietary supplement that may offset the inability to eat, fatigue, weight loss and muscle deterioration often associated with cancer. Also studies for 3 decades for treating cancer (Possible side effects include nausea and vomiting, tingling, loss of feeling, nerve inflammation in hands and feet, irregularities in glucose level. Alkaline phosphatase and liver function tests, dizziness, weakness, drowsiness and itching)
- Interferon and Interleukin-2 (IL-2) were standard treatment for metastatic kidney disease. Now 2 drugs replace this therapy; sunitinib (that inhibits several cellular proteins that promote growth of blood vessels in tumors) and temsirolimus (targets another protein that regulates growth of tumor cells)
- Two preventative vaccines have been approved for cancer; the one preventing the Hepatitis B virus (that causes liver cancer) and the other vaccine which prevents human papillomavirus (HPV) types 16 and 18 which are responsible for many types of cervical cancer. Other effective cancer treatment vaccines are under investigation such as the one for non-hodgkins lymphoma and another for advanced non-small cell lung cancer
Here we look into a case of Bladder Cancer and other cancers
The Natural Approach (with doses):
- Diet and Lifestyle [1]
- For Bladder another types of cancers; Nutritional and dietary factors include:
- Eating cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, Brussel sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower and kale helps with lowering the risk of bladder cancer due to their antioxidant and other cancer-fighting compounds
- Lutein (one of the carotenoids) could be a possible anti-cancer nutrient; good sources include dark, leafy greens and broccoli
- Green plants contain Chlorophyll which fights cancer and Broccoli contains indole-3-carbinol (I-3-C), a compound known to eradicate many types of cancers on contact
- Eating the recommended number of servings of fruit
- Take Vitamin A, Beta carotene, Vitamin C and a Multivitamin have shown reductions in risk of getting bladder cancer
- Eat a diet rich in Vitamin E that includes nuts and olive oil
- Pure Dimethulsulfoxide (DMSO) from a health food store is an FDA approved non-toxic solvent that has been shown to help with treatment [note this can cause garlicky breath]
- Drink plenty of spring or steam distilled water only instead of tap water. Increased levels of contaminants in public water have been associated with increased rate of lung, bladder and breast cancers
- Limit consumption of dairy products although a little yoghurt, kefir or raw cheese occasionally is okay. Ensure to get enough calcium ,magnesium and Vitamin D from other foods or supplements
- Avoid consuming peanuts, junk foods, processed refined foods, saturated fats, salt, sugar or white flour. Use sea salt, kelp or a potassium substitute instead of using Table salt. Use a small amount of blackstrap molasses or pure maple syrup as natural sweetener instead of sugar
- Use whole wheat or rye instead of white flour
- Avoid consuming anything with alcohol or caffeine
- Stop smoking
- Follow a Macrobiotic diet
- Limit intake of luncheon meats, hot dogs, smoked or cured meats. Have broiled fish or poultry instead. Fish is especially important as it has not been associated with increased cancer risk like beef has
- Eat a diet inclusive of grains, nuts, seeds and unpolished brown rice. Millet cereal is a good source of protein. Eat wheat, oat and bran
- Eat plenty of cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, Brussel sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower,spinach)
- Consume yellow and deep orange vegetables (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries), Brazil nuts, cantaloupe, cherries, legumes (chickpeas, lentils and red beans), grapes, oranges and plums which all help to fight cancer
- Eat onions and use garlic liberally (enhances immune system and a good cancer-fighter). Crushing the garlic and leaving it for 10 minutes to rest before use seems to increase its levels of cancer fighting component allyl sulphide
- Take Ginger as it suppresses nausea (excellent treatment and prevention of nausea and upset stomach that sometimes occur with chemotherapy). Best to take Ginger with protein as it has been shown to a reduced use of medications for nausea and vomiting by cancer patients
- Try to eat seven servings of whole-grain foods a day and include at least different types of grain food in your weekly diet
- Eat 10 raw almonds daily; contains laetrile which may have anti-cancer properties
- Eat as much tomatoes and tomato-based products you can as lycopene (an antioxidant in tomatoes) protects cells from oxidants associated with cancer and decreases the risk of cervical, lung, stomach and prostate cancers
- Eat plenty of tart cherries (both fresh and in pies, jams and sugar-free juice). These contain anthocyanins (antioxidants that help prevent cancer and heart disease)
- Get regular exercise
- Avoid taking supplemental iron unless your doctor has advised that you are anemic or need it for other reasons. If one is not iron deficient, the body naturally withholds iron from cancer cells to inhibit their growth. Those with excessive iron in their blood have increased risk of developing cancer
- Use only glass or stainless steel cookware and wooden cooking utensils
- Due to possible low level radiation leakage, avoid microwave ovens and avoid sitting close to television sets (less than eight feet away), avoid X-rays
- Avoid chemicals like hair sprays, cleaning compounds, waxes, fresh paints and garden pesticides as these can promote free radical formation within the body which may lead to cancer. These can also further weaken immune system of cancer sufferers
- Use a shower head that removes chlorine from your water e.g. Showerwise from Waterwise
- Avoid stress. Learn relaxation and stress management techniques (meditation, visualization, deep breathing, support groups)
- Avoid eating fast foods and greasy fried foods
- Eat high fibre food that is low in unhealthy versions of saturated fats (e.g. fried chips); Fruits, vegetables and legumes and grains
- Spend time outdoors with fresh air. This also increase Vitamin D3 absorption
- Check for possible food allergies and foods that aggravate symptoms and inflammation (i.e. keep a food diary)
- Eat soy as it contains genistein and daidzein, two isofloavones that act as antioxidants and may protect against most forms of cancer especially breast cancer, prostate cancer, leukemia, glioblastoma multiforme and bladder cancer
Nutritional assistance
Nutrients & Herbs [1,2]
- High doses of L-carnitine (6 grams daily for four weeks) were shown to increase energy levels and quality of life in cancer patients; also protects against damage from free radicals and toxins (Use a form derived from fish liver/Squalene)
- Vitamins A.C and E decrease the effect of lipid peroxidation (oxidation of body fats) which leads to free radical formation in the body
- Vitamin A; 50,000IU daily for 10 days then decrease to 25,000IU daily (If pregnant reduce to less than or equals to 10,000IU daily); people with cancer require higher levels of this antioxidant. Use emulsion form for better assimilation
- Vitamin B complex; 50mg of each major B vitamin three times daily and Vitamin B3 100mg daily maximum; B12 1000-2000mcg daily, Folic acid 400-600mcg daily
- Vitamin C; 1-4 grams daily
- Vitamin D 25000IU daily
- Vitamin E; 200IU daily; power antioxidant
- Vitamin K from Green Tea (antioxidant; caution as can reduce effectiveness of anticoagulant medications); cancer fighting ability due to epigallocatechin-3-gallate (or EGCg) that also cuts off blood vessels tgat feede cancerous tumors
- Selenium (e.g. from foods like Brazil nuts, tuna, flounder, pork, pasta, turkey, pinto beans, navy beans); 200mcg daily; powerful free radical scavenger and protects against cancer
- Cysteine or N-acetyl-cysteine; as directed on label; detoxify harmful substances, protect liver and other organs and preventative effects against cancer
- Glutathione; as directed on label; Essential for healthy immune functioning as found to be deficient in cancer patients
- Lipoic acid; as directed on label; Can boost glutathione levels
- Calcium (can prevent precancerous cells from becoming cancerous)
- Coenzyme Q10 (improves cellular oxygenation and facilitate repair of DNA and RNA); 90mg daily
- Dimethylglycine (DMG); as directd on label; enhances oxygen utilization
- Melatonin 2-3mg daily taken 2 hours or less before bedtime; A powerful antioxidant that also helps with sleep
- Superoxide dismustase (SOD); as directed on label; destroys free radicals. Consider injections under doctor's supervision
- Kelp/seaweed; 1000-1500mg daily; for mineral balance and to help avoid damage from radiation therapy
- Herbs [1,2]
- Alternate these in cancer prevention or therapy program; astragalus, birch, burdock root, cat's claw, chuchuhuasi, cranberry, dandelion, Echinacea, fennel, green tea, liquorice root, macela, milk thistle, parsley, red clover, pau d'arco, red clover and suma
- [Note: Avoid Astragalus if fever present, avoid cat's claw in pregnancy, Don't use Echinacea for longer than 3 months and avoid in those allergic to ragweed, avoid licorice in pregnancy or nursing, diabetics, glaucoma, heart disease, high blood pressure and history of stroke]
- Curcumin (extract from turmeric); antioxidant and protects against cancer and may inhibit rapid cell division that is characteristic of cancer cells
- Modified citrus pectin shown to effectively inhibit cancer cell growth especially in combating skin and prostate cancers
- Noni fruit stimulates the immune system, block tumor growth and induce cancer cells to return to normal
- Olive leaf extract enhances the immune system and helps fight cancer
With the increasing information and treatment methods available today, millions of people are either living with or have been cured of cancer and the risk of cancer development can be reduced by adopting a healthy diet and lifestyle. Today about 66 percent of cancer patients survive five years after being diagnoses and this figure is increasing [1]. The nutritional suggestions are intended to support the body when one has cancer. Most of these nutrients are not preventative or curative and will not reduce the size or impact of cancer except when otherwise noted.
With proper and prompt diagnosis and treatment along with nutrient, herbal, dietary and lifestyle interventions, quality of life can be increased and may also push the cancer into remission.

Azure Data Lake Store (ADLS) gives you the ability to store all raw data in one location readily accessible for analysis. In my particular case I am pulling data from Salesforce and using the ADLS .net SDK to store the results in the data lake. If anyone has worked with Salesforce they know that it is possible to have an object with hundreds of custom fields, this leads to a file being stored in ADLS with hundreds of columns. One of the first translations I wanted to use U-SQL and Azure Data Lake Analytics (ADLA) for was to only evaluate a subset of the data by querying a few columns from the hundreds that might exist in a file.
An example script might look like this:
@tasks_raw = EXTRACT AccountId string, Id string, OwnerId string, Status string, Subject string, .... .... More Fields ...., .... WhatCount int?, WhatId string, WhoCount int?, WhoId string FROM "/RawData/Salesforce/Task/2016/01/25/Task.csv" USING Extractors.Csv(); @tasks_subset = SELECT AccountId, ActivityDate, CreatedById, CreatedDate, Id, OwnerId, Status FROM @tasks_raw; OUTPUT @tasks_subset TO "/Subset/Salesforce/Task/2016/01/25/Task.csv" USING Outputters.Csv();
The first step is to impose a schema on top of the current file by using the "Extract" syntax, there by storing that into a variable. Then from the newly created variable I can select only a subset of columns which I need for later processing to store. The common problem I have run into is with the Extract portion of this script. I have frequently received the Unexpected Number of Columns error as seen in the screen shot below.
The most common cause of this error, especially when the input file is a CSV, is a "comma" in one of the data cells. After I completed all possible sanitization of the data before writing it to ADLS using the .net SDK I still received this error.
I began a dialog with the Azure Data Lake team, who informed me that using the ADLS .net SDK to create and append data to a file in ADLS could be causing a column alignment issue. If you are using the .net SDK to create a file and then append data to it, be aware there is a 4 MB limit on the request. This means that if you send a request with N number of rows and that batch is over 4 MB, the request will terminate in the middle of the record and not in a record boundary delimiter. The solution here is simple, I needed to add some logic to batch the rows to be stored in 4 MB or less chunks, ensuring that the final row would end on a record boundary.
Some sample code would look like this:
public void StoreData(string path, List rows, bool append) { var buffer = new MemoryStream(); var sw = new StreamWriter(buffer); foreach (var row in rows) { if (buffer.Length + Encoding.UTF8.GetByteCount(row) > FOURMB) { buffer.Position = 0; if (append) { execute_append(path, buffer); } else { execute_create(path, buffer); append = true; } buffer = new MemoryStream(); sw = new StreamWriter(buffer); } sw.Write(row); sw.Flush(); } if (buffer.Length <= 0) return; buffer.Position = 0; if (append) { execute_append(path, buffer); } else { execute_create(path, buffer); } } private AzureOperationResponse execute_create(string path, MemoryStream ms) { var beginCreateResponse = inner_client.FileSystem.BeginCreate(path, DataLakeAppConfig.DataLakeAccountName, new FileCreateParameters()); var createResponse = inner_client.FileSystem.Create(beginCreateResponse.Location, ms); return createResponse; } private AzureOperationResponse execute_append(string path, MemoryStream ms) { var beginAppendResponse = inner_client.FileSystem.BeginAppend(path, DataLakeAppConfig.DataLakeAccountName, null); var appendResponse = inner_client.FileSystem.Append(beginAppendResponse.Location, ms); return appendResponse; }
While working with any type of delimited file you no doubt have run into this unexpected number of columns error. This problem is exacerbated by the fact that you may have hundreds of columns in the file which makes it very difficult to track down. If you are using the ADLS SDK to store files in the data lake and you feel you have thoroughly gone through all other possible solutions, give this a shot. Either way it might be worth changing your storing pattern to avoid this problem on a future data file.

Worst NASCAR TracksThis list is for some of the worst tracks on the NASCAR schedule
The Top Ten
Worst NASCAR track ever! You need binoculars to see the cars and they drive in a single file five seconds apart
Track is long and boring. Needs one race.
Different angles corners and it's a triangle
No action, no nothing. makes me sickV 1 Comment
They added this worthless track to the cup schedule over Iowa, Road America, or Gateway. And parking is a mess.
Home track is boring. Should be repaved. But there is some wrecks
Pretty Boring track. This should be turned into another date for Las Vegas or Atlanta.
Should be racing at Road America or Mid Ohio instead of this mediocre racetrack. Bruton Smith only cares about $$$$$$$$$$$. - Drippycheesycanoli
NASCAR should build a track in the Sacramento area. There is plenty of available land and it will draw more race fans than Sonoma.
This track is a nice spot for vacation, it's just ovals are better. Road Courses are only good for T.V.
Worst track in Motorsports. No speed and they have to move cars just to pass.
Worst track, boring race.
Shorter it is, the boring it is. AND this is the shortest and it's very boring. Even qualifying at Pocono could do better.
That track is boring and kyle busch wins there a lot there too. On nascar heat 2 it is a pain to get around
Not much character in New Hampshire. The last chase race was good it's just they need some banking and a night race, then it will be off the list
There is no speed, no bankings, no action. there is nothing what makes NASCAR what it is.
Just really boring cause you have to wait a long time to see the cars again. Good on T.V. bad place to go to
Good track it's just its only good for T.V.
Not built for stock cars. Provides good racing for Indy car but not nascar. The 2008 tire debacle made it worse.
Can't see anything if you go to a race there, and the racing sucks
Good track for Indycar but sucks for NASCAR
To narrow! poor race track for stock cars and it's a crowded mess...
Absolute garbage
Terrible track! There is no character to this track at all. A dumpy track with grandstands and an oval. Even Gateway would be a better fit and they woulf be good but traffic is bad and parking spaces
The Contenders
Dover International Speedway is one of NASCAR top best track's
Awesome track
Like Bristol except boring. Brad Keselowski led almost the whole race last fall and you often fall asleep. Richmond should only get one race or get 1 day and 1 night
Hardly a caution. Not that I want to see anyone get hurt. Never. But let's have a little action.
Track sucks! So boring and long. Only one race a year is needed.
Just a long, uneventful race. The only action you see is engine blows
Darlington is one of the most well known tracks and the races are interesting, I have been to a race in person and it was amazing
Only reason why people like this track is tradition. There hasn't been a good race here since 2003 (I guess a case could be made for 2011) and the racing is generally pretty boring. Yet this is considered one of the crown Jewel races?
Great racing here but way too many empty seats
Good for T.V. not real life

Highlights $110+:
"Highlights" is a general term that refers to strands of hair that are lighter than the base color that they are being laid upon. It's commonly believed that a highlight is blonde, but actually a highlight only refers to a color that's not as dark as the base strands. Highlights involve sectioning off hair and weaving strands — thick or thin depending on the look you're going for — and painting them with a lightening agent before wrapping them in foil. This technique produces a much more controlled look than balayage. Foiling highlights lets the stylist precisely know where the color is going and what shade of lightness will result for the overall look.
Lowlights $110+:
Unlike highlights, which are lighter than the base strands, lowlights are darker strands of color that are woven into the hair. This process typically produces depth and adds contrast when hair becomes overly light and one-dimensionally colored from being highlighted repeatedly. General oxidation and/or fading can occur from regular highlighting, which is another reason someone might opt to even things out with lowlights.
- Partial Highlights/Lowlights $110+
- Full Highlight/Lowlights $130+
- Full Color w/ Highlights/Lowlights $155+
At MOSS we care about the quality and well-being of our clients and their hair. MOSS uses ammonia-free cream lightener infused with organic essential oils and kukui butter. This nourishing and non-aggressive lightener makes for added moisture and protects the hair and scalp for clean color results without any discomfort, breakage or damage.

By Fuad Abdirahman
Kenyans see the deputy governor's office as an extension of the governor, one with no specific mandate. This has been exacerbated by the Constitution, which restricts the deputy governor's mandate to representing the governor in his absentia and simply describing him as the chief executive officer, a post that has little prominence in most counties.
Governors have in the past four years disregarded their deputies. Some fought back while others accepted to be bulldozed silently. In an unprecedented breach of authority, a governor once tried to remove his deputy from office before, typical of the Kenyan politician, later denying ever trying to do so. Many alliances that were formed in 2013 are at lousy ends.
The only thing to smile about being deputy governor is the security of tenure that comes with it. The Constitution gives details of how a governor can be removed from his office – really by impeachment. The deputy is however safe as it is s/he that assumes office upon the success of such a manoeuvre.
Unlike the presidency, which is normally held together by a memorandum of understanding, there are no guarantees of good relations between the governor and his deputy. Usually, it is the deputy who takes the brunt.
Some alliances have been wrecked even before they officially commence. A notable one is that between Nairobi gubernatorial hopeful Miguna Miguna and his young deputy, James Gathungu, whom he dropped days after unveiling. Mike Sonko, another gubernatorial aspirant in Nairobi had his pick for deputy dropped in favour of one chosen for him by his party.
The relationship between governors and their deputies is akin to that we see in marriage contracts where a bridegroom picks a bride under strict terms that by default often give one party, preferably the bridegroom, the upper hand – governors being the grooms here.
The main reason governors and deputy governors were already at loggerheads in 2013 is the fear that the deputies would grow strong and over run them come 2017. These fears have been proven largely true. The only way to contain them was to sabotage them.
Many deputy governors had to prove loyalty to their governors in order for them not to be ditched. Nairobi deputy governor Jonathan Mueke's admission that he had never given Kidero the slightest reason to drop him in the 2017 re-election shows how the position remains insignificant – as only an employee of the governor.
Immediately after the election in 2013, some deputy governors started complaining of mistreatment from their bosses, some saying they had been frustrated. The deputy governor of Garissa, Abdullahi Hussein, for instance, said that his boss had little regard for him. Abdullahi claimed that officials allied to the governor were taking over his mandate.
"I don't understand why I was not involved despite a project falling under my office; is someone trying to sabotage my office?" he lamented once.
The case between the Garissa Governor (Nathif Jama) and his deputy has since …

Out of context set videos and images for upcoming films are a terrific little marketing tool that Ridley Scott's Alien: Covenant has taken full advantage of since production began earlier this year. While avoiding spoilers at all costs, the film has released several photos teasing not only returning cast member Michael Fassbender as the advanced android David, but also newcomers Danny McBride and Katherine Waterston as Daniels, who bears a strong resemblance to Sigourney Weaver's Ripley. Some of the images have prominently featured Scott, in case you were left wondering who the film was directed by, and although they didn't reveal much in terms of what's going on, or where the story would take place – aside from some vaguely futuristic and industrial-looking sets – they certainly did the job in terms of building a sense of intrigue.
It would seem that now the film shifting back to the set video phase of its pre-marketing marketing plan, offering those interested in seeing what happened after Prometheus a quick glimpse at the movie as it's in progress, while also reassuring fans the film will eventually land in theaters. In fact, the new video not only offers a look at Waterston's Daniels in what looks like a space gear (or at least the under layer of some space gear), but it also confirms that the film will be released 365 days from now.
While a year is a long time to wait, the tease certainly does a good job of building interest for the film without going to the hassle of creating an actual trailer – teaser or otherwise – and it also affords those curious about the next chapter in the Alien prequel saga an idea of what the film will look like. Of course, eight seconds isn't much to go on in terms of actual content, so if you're looking for details as to the film's story or characters, you're definitely out of luck.
Still, the image of Waterston's character in some sort of chamber, surrounded by flashing lights still managed to evoke feelings of the first Alien Scott directed back in 1979. So far, this is in keeping with several of the other images that have been released from the set, as it appears there's at least an aesthetic bridge being drawn between Covenant and the first Alien film, as well as a narrative one. Again, it's not much to go on, but the device Daniels appears to be in (perhaps a hypersleep chamber?), as well as her attire, appears to have the same kind of sterile appearance as the med bay John Hurt's Kane was taken by Dallas (Tom Skerritt) and Ash (Ian Holm) after he was attacked by a face hugger.
What those lights are doing or what Daniels' clothing means is completely up in the air without context, but for anyone who is eager to learn more about Alien: Covenant this short little set video will likely be eight seconds worth investigating more than once.
Alien: Covenant will be released on August 4, 2017.

Whitby Harbour Board is set to be disbanded within the next fortnight because of "lack of progress" and "tension" between members.
The pilot project, set up in 2010 to run as an arms length subsidiary of the borough council, will be replaced by a Ports Development Group.
A scathing report being considered by the leader of the borough council next week, recommends "termination" of the harbour board - made up of borough councillors and co-opted members and that the council takes control of the harbour back.
Two reviews outlined "deep-rooted"problems with the board's lack of progress over the last five years in coming up with a business plan, internal conflict between the council and independent members and that sub groups have not met for over two years.
The report says: "There has been a repeated tendency for the board to get involved in harbour operational matters, whilst neglecting to spend time on the bigger strategic picture."
Wranglings between members over irrelevant issues such as car parking prices instead of the overall future have also taken their toll. The document adds: "There remains a lack of clarity about the defined status and purpose for the harbour board and a tendency for the independent members to pull in a different direction to the council, especially over the extent and use of the board's assets and its powers."
Out of the three objectives set at the outset which were to create a Memorandum of Understanding in relation to the management and development of activities in Whitby harbour, identify and evaluate assets and create a strategic business plan - only the identification of assets has been completed.
If disbanding the harbour board goes through, the Ports Development Group, headed by Cllr Mike Cockerill, will be established next month and the members decided and appointed between October and December with a first meeting expected in January.
