UNDERSTANDING ABOUT HPV AND CERVICAL CANCER

The relationship between human papillomavirus and cervical cancer is a complex one.
Human papillomavirus, more commonly known as HPV, has gotten a great deal of attention lately, especially with regard to the HPV vaccine. But what exactly is HPV, and how is it related to cervical cancer?

HPV
HPV is a large family of more than 100 viruses that infect the skin. Some of the viruses are transmitted through nonsexual personal contact and can cause common skin warts. Several, though, are spread through sexual contact.Of the sexually transmitted types of HPV, some can cause warts of the genitals or anal area, while others can lead to cancer and pre-cancerous changes of the cervix, anus, or skin of the penis or vagina. That said, the majority of HPV infections do not lead to either warts or cancer, and most infections go away by themselves without causing any symptoms.
What Is Cervical Cancer?Cancer of the cervix is a serious but preventable disease that can usually be cured if discovered in its early stages. According to the American Cancer Society, cervical cancer begins in the lining of the cervix and forms quite slowly. Doctors use several terms to describe these pre-cancerous changes, including cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), squamous intraepithelial lesion (SIL), and dysplasia.There are two main types of cervical cancers: squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma. About 80 to 90 percent of cervical cancers are squamous cell carcinomas, which affect the flat, thin squamous cells that cover the surface of the endocervix.The remaining 10 to 20 percent of cervical cancers are adenocarcinomas, which are more commonly found in women born after 1980. Cervical adenocarcinoma develops from the mucus-producing gland cells of the endocervix. Less commonly, cervical cancers have features of both squamous cell carcinomas and adenocarcinomas. These are called adenosquamous carcinomas or mixed carcinomas.

Here are some Ways to Reduce Your Risks You can minimize your chances of getting several forms of HPV and cervical cancer by following these guidelines.

• Talk to your doctor about getting the HPV vaccine. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the HPV vaccine, Gardasil, for girls and women ages 9 to 26. Ideally, vaccination should occur before the onset of sexual activity; it works best for those who have not been infected with any of the four HPV types covered by the vaccine (6, 11, 16, and 18). When administered correctly, the vaccine is 95 to 100 percent effective in preventing these types of HPV, according to the FDA.
• Limit your sexual partners. Engaging in monogamous sex with a partner who also practices monogamous sex can reduce your exposure to HPV. Multiple partners can increase your risk of contracting HPV and other sexually transmitted diseases.
• Use condoms. Condoms don't fully protect against HPV, but they can lower your chances of getting it. Condoms can also help to prevent the spread of HIV, herpes, and other sexually transmitted infections.
• Get regular Pap tests. These exams can help ensure that pre-cancerous changes in the cervix caused by HPV infection do not develop into cervical cancer.

OUR HEALTH

You guys probably noticed my blogging are mostly about "HEALTH".
Its beacuse , I think it is nessessary to learn about our Health. What to expect or look for in the future. I think that it is very important to get familiar about our body or our family member's health. Most of us are suffering to either... Diabetis , High Blood pressure , Breast Cancer etc..etc.

No one can predict what will happen, so its best that we do research , for what can cure for what we are having. Or to atleast minimize it.

Do You Look Older Than Your Age??

A few simple changes can help take years off your appearance.

High-school reunions can be a shock. Everyone attending is about the same age, so why do some classmates look amazingly young while others look at least a decade older than the rest?Genes play a significant role, of course. Grandma Esther’s smooth, wrinkle-free skin may have been passed down to future generations, along with Uncle Jake’s slim physique. But other factors can also have a profound influence on how gracefully you age.

Here are the things that Add years to your Looks:
None one can turn back time, but you can avoid these common offenders that can make you look old before your time.

Unhealthy weight. In addition to increasing your risk for diabetes and heart disease, extra pounds can add years to your appearance. On the flip side, being too thin is not becoming (or healthy) either. Stick to a regular exercise routine, which is good for your heart as well as your skin; increased circulation can promote a fresher-looking face.
• Lack of sleep. Not getting enough z's can contribute to puffy facial skin, as well as dark circles and bloodshot eyes. Being perpetually overtired can also lead to an increased risk of heart problems.
• Smoking. We all know that smoking is damaging to our lungs and other organs. But it's also extremely hard on the skin. Smoking slows blood flow in the face, and the sucking motion made while inhaling produces vertical lines around the lips. Kicking the habit now will improve your overall health, both inside and out
• Too much sun. Few things age a person's appearance as much as rough, leathery skin due to tanning. Instead of looking healthy, it's often lined and spotted. Plus, it can increase your risk for developing skin cancer. It's not too late to reverse the trend, though. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher every day, and stay out of direct sunlight. Wear sunglasses to protect your eyes from harsh rays and to prevent wrinkles that come from squinting.
• Excessive makeup. As one ages, less makeup is almost always better than more. Heavy foundation can settle into wrinkles, and shiny or brightly colored eye shadow can emphasize lines around the eyes. Many department-store cosmetic counters offer free makeup consultations to help you try out a new look. Focus on highlighting a single feature, such as large eyes or full lips.
• Outdated hairstyle. Stuck in a time warp when it comes to your 'do? Some women keep the same hairstyle year after year, which can be very dating. Consult with a hairstylist about updating yours to a more modern look. In addition, hair coloring can do wonders when it comes to looking younger.
• Inappropriate clothing. Age-appropriate clothing doesn't have to mean housedresses and "sensible" shoes. There are a variety of comfortable, attractive fashions for people of all ages. Accentuate your best features, such as long legs or a swanlike neck. Color can also make a big difference in clothes. Don't be afraid to add rich tones to your wardrobe.
• Bad posture. As your mother always said, stand up straight. Good posture is not only beneficial to your body; it also makes you look taller and slimmer. What's more, good posture can convey self-confidence, which may just be the best accessory you can have.

Kicking the Habit

Many bad habits are a way to relieve stress, and it may help to take yoga, meditate, or find other ways to relax. For deep-rooted anxiety or if the habit causes emotional distress, you should talk to a health-care professional. To break common unhealthy habits, start with these tips.

1. Smoking. Although smoking is one of the hardest habits to break, you can successfully quit by following these five steps, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services:

1.) Set a quit date.
2.) Get support.
3.) Learn new skills and behaviors.
4.) Get medication, and use it correctly.
5.) Be prepared for relapse or difficult situations.

2. Biting your nails. Some people claim that getting a manicure and having nicely painted nails is enough motivation to get them to stop. Others say it helps to chew on candy or gum or to carry a nail file.

3. Cracking your knuckles. Like biting your nails, this habit is usually done when you’re nervous. Find something else to do with your hands, like squeezing a stress ball or stretching silly putty.

4. Chewing on pens or pencils. In addition to chewing gum or candy, or keeping your hands busy with a stress ball, think about the germs you put in your mouth every time you chew on a pen.

5. Staying up too late. If you have trouble falling asleep at night, you may need to cut back on or eliminate caffeine in the afternoon or evening. When it’s time for bed, turn off the TV and the computer, and establish a calming bedtime routine.

6. Watching too much TV. The average American watches more than four hours of TV a night. Here are some ways to cut back:

1.) Turn it off during dinner.
2.) Take the TV out of your bedroom.
3.) Set a limit on the amount of time you spend watching shows (say, 10 hours a week).
4.) Find an alternative to TV, such as going for a walk after dinner, gardening, or painting.

Hawks opened their wallet, and it's paid off in 2007

The Seahawks used all sorts of bait last March.
They served Deon Grant an omelet and waffles on the flight from Atlanta aboard Paul Allen's plane. They took Patrick Kerney to an Italian meal at Maggiano's in Bellevue and visited an aviation museum. Brian Russell was treated at a local steakhouse where he talked shop with defensive coordinator John Marshall.
Welcome to NFL free agency, where teams use private planes, upscale meals and anything short of paying a signing bonus with a garbage bag of unmarked, nonsequential bills to convince a player to sign.
The Seahawks spent big last March. It wasn't until this month, however, that it was possible to anoint the signings a success. Kerney leads the NFL with 13.5 sacks while Grant and Russell have been the safety net for a defense that's allowed 10 touchdown passes, tied for fewest in the NFL.
"Free agency, the guys you bring in to help out immediately, that is hugely important," coach Mike Holmgren said. "And it has been important to this team this year."
It doesn't always work like this in free agency. Pay your money, you take your chances in the NFL. Sometimes teams get unlucky. Cleveland's high-profile addition of offensive lineman LeCharles Bentley didn't last past the first day of training camp because he blew out his knee. Other teams make multi-million-dollar mistakes. Washington signed Adam Archuleta to the biggest contract ever given a free-agent safety in 2006, relegated him to special teams during the season and traded him to Chicago after one year.
The 49ers were the big movers and shakers this past spring. They made Nate Clements the $80 million man at cornerback. They added safety Michael Lewis, defensive lineman Aubrayo Franklin and wide receiver Ashley Lelie. The 49ers have won three games.
Yet the offseason shopping turned out to be profitable here in Seattle.
"All of us recognized how successful this organization had been," Kerney said. "And that there wasn't anyone brought in here to make a radical change in the play, in the leadership.
"We were coming in to bring a little tweak in."
Seattle already built its foundation for success. These were the finishing touches.
Choosing an approach to free agency is kind of like picking a blackjack table. Do you want to pay hundreds of dollars a hand and stand shoulder to shoulder with the high rollers or do you sit back and wait for the price — and the profile — of the free agents to recede a little?
For the past few years Seattle kept the checkbook closed during the initial spending spree. Cornerback Ken Lucas left for Carolina in 2005, Chike Okeafor opted for Arizona and Seattle didn't sign a player from another team until the third week of free agency. After Seattle went to the Super Bowl, the Seahawks were one week into free agency before they acquired their first free agent.
This year was different.
"The one thing the organization was committed to do was jump early," Holmgren said.
Allen's plane was in San Diego when free agency began — to pick up Chargers guard Kris Dielman. He left Seattle before he ever met with Holmgren, though, flying commercial to re-sign with San Diego.
Seattle signed Kerney, target No. 2, promising to pay him at least $19.5 million over the next few years. The Seahawks then lost out on tight end Daniel Graham to Denver before adding Grant and Russell. Once the cash register stopped ringing, Holmgren tried to determine how it would affect the bottom line.
"How am I going to score some points?" Holmgren said. "That's what I thought of. You get Brian, you get Deon, you get Kerney and I go, 'Gee whiz. We're going to play some defense.' "
Sure enough, the Seahawks offense staggered around the first half of the season. The running game couldn't gain 18 inches against Cleveland, the backup tight end has as many touchdowns as Shaun Alexander and yet Seattle is headed back to the playoffs because of a defense astutely improved in free agency.
That more than anything is the reason this city is remembering what it's like to let the imagination run wild over postseason possibilities.

Make Money Writing About Your Favorite Hobby

Everyone has some type of hobby or another- something that you really enjoy doing, but never really thought about profiting from. When you really think about this, though, it makes the perfect part-time business. Especially when you realize that there is no shipping cost for the actual product because there's no physical product!
    Use the proper tools. Here is a list of tools, and things you will need to know to get started selling on the internet:
          * Keywords- Search engines find websites by relevant keywords. When someone visits a search engine and types in “car models”, it's results show all the sites that are most relevant to “car models”. It's free, yet most people do not properly use this powerful tool.
          * If you want to sell custom model car videos, include these keywords in your domain name, the title of your web page, in the site description, and one of the two keywords (yes, only two) you should put in your sites “meta tags”.
          * Put variations of this phrase in every 6th or 7th line your main page text, and at least once in your image alt tags. Just don't over do it, or the search engines will penalize your site. Find the right balance, and your website will rank very well.
                o Note: The top three search engines: Google, Yahoo, and MSN scan the web automatically, so there is no need to submit your site to those engines.
    Get Traffic To Your Site- Search engines are just one way to get free traffic to your site. The second best is writing articles about your keywords, putting them ON YOUR SITE FIRST, and then making subtle changes to them and submitting them to article directories like:
          * Ezine Articles (http://www.ezinearticles.com)
          * Article Dashboard http://www.articledashboard.com/
          * Idea Marketers http://www.ideamarketers.com/
          * Go Articles http://www.goarticles.com/
          * Article City http://www.articlecity.com/
    Learn about copy writing - It's always good to know a little sale language to describe the benefits of the product you are selling. If you get really good at this, you could write your own ticket for more than just videos. People will buy on emotion, not on the facts. If you focus on “what's in it for them” (your customer), you might be surprised with your results.
    Show what you are selling: Product Photos- as mentioned earlier, people want to see what you're selling. If it's a video, selling without a photo of it could kill your sales. It's been proven by the experts that product photos have increased sales and visitor actions up to 300%. If it's videos you're selling, try searching for “DVD Cover Design”, and see what you come up with for starters.
    Webpage Editor- Use one of these to create your web pages. There are other alternatives like WordPress or Blogger, minisite templates, and BlinkWeb. If you graduated from the School of the Technically Declined, your best bet is using a premade template. Those tools make it easy for you to make a website. If you have a little more creative savvy, consider a free webpage editor like Dreamweaver to create the pages yourself.
    Learn FTP- This stands for File Transfer Protocol. It's just another name for getting your files from your hard drive, to your website directory. You'll need a domain name and a host before you get a:
    Get a good Domain Name- Your domain name should state the product you're selling, or as close to it as possible. The search engines will like your site a lot better if you do this right, and it will look more appealing in the search results, when someone is trying to find your website via a search engine like Google, Yahoo, or MSN Search.
          * Note: If you're new to the web, you might want to get your domain & hosting with the same company to make things easier for you.
   ZIP Utility- You can find lots of great zip tools on the net for free. You will need them so you can compress your video package before uploading it to your website.
    Choose a Payment Script- This is optional. When you use a payment script, you automate the order placement process so you don't need to constantly monitor your email inbox, and manually send out download links to the people who bought your product. The payment script, like DLGuard, or LinkLok PayPal, works in-between the buy button on your website, and the payment processor:
   Choose on a Payment Processor- This is a service that works with your bank. There is no need to get a full blown merchant account when you're just starting out. PayPal, 2CheckOut, and ClickBank do a great job without the hassles and expenses of a merchant account. Not only can you receive money, but you can send people money as well.

     There is no inventory to stock and replenish
     The downloads and payments can be automatic. In other words, special scripts can be used so you don't have to be present in order for someone to pay you money
     No product photography is required. Ecover scripts make it simple to create a realistic “intangible” product “tangible” without the wait. It only takes minutes to create, and Photoshop is free to try for 30 days
     The website does the selling. Once you have a domain name and a hosting account, all you have to do is set it up for sales, and have it run on autopilot while you spend time with your family
     You're simply recording what you love to do, so there is very little work required
     People love to watch videos
     It's affordable. You can get started for less than a steak dinner for two!
This article is not for everyone. Especially the people that are deeper into internet marketing. This is a basic system that works for people that are new to selling on the web.

Storm " Fire & Snow"

We never know when a crisis hit us. We cannot predict it, we would never expect it.
Pass fall california had the big fire and people loose thier house and belonging. Alot of people loose everything they have. And now they have the winter Storm. I was reading the news in the internet and it was so overwhelming what is happening.

A dangerous layer of heavy snow covered the Northern California mountains and a levee break flooded hundreds of homes in Nevada on Saturday as a major storm continued pummeling the West Coast. Thousands of homes and businesses had been blacked out in California, Oregon and Washington and thousands of residents had been told to leave their homes in mudslide-prone areas of Southern California. The mandatory evacuation orders were later lifted, though residents were urged to stay away from their homes.Avalanche warnings were posted for the backcountry of the central Sierra Nevada and flash flood warnings were in effect for many areas of Southern California, where large swaths of hillsides had been denuded by the fall's wildfires.Remote sensors and ski areas in the high Sierra Nevada had recorded up to 5 feet since Friday morning, and the west side of the Lake Tahoe Basin already had 4 to 5 feet by Friday night, the National Weather Service office in Reno, Nev., said Saturday.Rain and wind from the third storm in as many days arrived in California's capital before the last one finished dumping snow in the mountains.As much as 9 feet of snow was possible in the Sierra by Sunday. "Attempting to travel in the Sierra will put your life at risk," the weather service warned.East of the Sierra in Nevada's Lyon County, a levee broke early Saturday along an agricultural canal, spilling water as much as 3 feet deep into the town of Fernley and stranding about 3,500 people, authorities said. Rescuers used school buses, boats and helicopters to take people to shelters.

CAN A PET BOOST YOUR HEALTH?

It’s no secret that people rely on their pets for love, companionship, and a sense of security. After all, the iconic American family traditionally includes a mom and dad, 2.5 kids, and a pet of some kind. But as it turns out, the benefits of having a pet go far beyond camaraderie and protection; a four-legged friend can actually boost your health and, according to some researchers, lengthen your life by about seven years.

Pets’ Positive Effects
A pet can improve your general health by:
• lowering blood pressure and cholesterol;
• increasing opportunities for exercise;
• helping to develop a sense of responsibility;
• giving people a sense of purpose; and
• boosting perceived self-worth.

What’s more, when people have to take care of another living thing, they are more likely to take better care of themselves.
Pets can also help relieve anxiety over medical problems, which is why they’re often used in hospitals and rehabilitation centers as therapy animals

Some benefits for people participating in animal-assisted activities and therapy include:
• improvement of motor skills;
• enhanced attention skills;
• reduced anxiety and loneliness;
• willingness to be involved and interact with others; and
• increased exercise.

Finding the Right PetWhen looking for a pet or working with animals, there are several considerations you should keep in mind. Pets can carry infections that may be transmitted to humans so be sure to wash your hands whenever petting or cleaning up after an animal. Animal dander can cause allergic reactions and trigger asthma. Though some breeds claim to be allergy-free, all cats and dogs produce dander. If you’re allergic to pet dander or have asthma, ask your doctor which kind of animal is safe for you to own.

You also need to consider your lifestyle. For example, many big dogs need a large backyard to run around in, and some small dogs are not good with children.
