There are many free web-hosting solutions in the industry, but finding the right one is not an easy way. It is important to consider all the services before you host on free web host. This hosting is not suitable for everyone, as sometimes you need to spend money to make money. Therefore, the choice is up to you to choose the best one.

The customers are provided with 200 MB of space along with FTP, browser, CGI, PHP, Frontpage Extensions, Perl, and a domain or sub domain. This is the best choice for the people who don?t need lot of bandwidth or storage space. The other popular free web hosting is Xetaspace. This hosting is suitable for the people who do not need a lot of space because it offers only about 15-50 MB.

Many free web hosting services also left a lot to be desired in the reliability stakes with the sites often being online and unavailable to internet users. This was annoying for many, but to anyone trying to run some kind of online business it was disastrous. Several free web hosting services are now offering PHP and MySQL and some pretty decent storage and bandwidth numbers. There are even services that give cpanel access and the ability to host your own domain name.

More people surviving cancer in Northern IrelandPublic release date: 28-Feb-2012 [ | E-mail | Share ]

Despite the rising incidence of cancer in Northern Ireland, the number of people surviving the disease in the country is increasing significantly year on year.
Each year there are between 50-60 men and women who survive the deadly effects of cancer who previously would have died.
The survival rates in Northern Ireland for cancers including breast and colorectal are among the best in the UK, and its patients are benefiting from improved treatment outcomes by up to four per cent better than those for England and Wales.
The figures have been revealed as Queen's University Belfast accepted a Diamond Jubilee Queen's Anniversary Prize at Buckingham Palace, in recognition of its leadership of the Northern Ireland Comprehensive Cancer Services (CCS) programme.
The CCS programme has been credited with driving forward the improvements in cancer survival in Northern Ireland. It is a collaboration led by Queen's University in partnership with the Department of Health and the five Northern Ireland Health Trusts with support from the medical research industry.
The programme has resulted in the reorganisation of cancer services across Northern Ireland, and investment of more than 200 million in infrastructure and personnel for treatment and research by the University and the health service.
The CCS programme was also recently described by the distinguished medical journal, The Oncologist, as 'life-extending research that is emblematic of the way cancer medicine should be conducted in the 21st century.'
Accepting the prize, Professor Patrick Johnston, Dean of the School of Medicine, Dentistry and Biomedical Sciences, said: "Despite the rising incidence rates of cancer, between 1993 and 2009, the number of men dying from cancer has gone down by 1.3 per cent and the number of women by 0.9 per cent. Some of our survivors are currently alive and well a significant number of years after the kind of cancer that not so long ago would have taken them from us.
"Cancer no longer needs to be seen as an inevitable death sentence. In many instances it can now be viewed instead as a chronic disease."
He added: "This award underpins our reputation as a global centre of excellence for cancer care. To receive it is a singular honour, not just for Queen's but for the whole of Northern Ireland and in particular all the fundraisers, the Department of Health, Social Services and Public Safety, the five Northern Ireland Health and Social Care Trusts and our supporters from the national and international medical research industry.
"Our strength lies in a multidisciplinary approach teams of scientists and clinicians working together across academic and NHS boundaries on behalf of cancer patients and their families."
Queen's Vice Chancellor Professor Sir Peter Gregson said: "Queen's is committed to high quality translational research. We are seeing innovations which are providing life-saving and life-enhancing results, reflecting our drive to become a global force in the fight against cancer."
The pillars of the CCS programme are the Clinical Cancer Centre at Belfast City Hospital, the Centre for Cancer Research and Cell Biology, the Cancer Research Programme at Queen's and the University's Northern Ireland Cancer Registry which provides vital information about research and outcomes.

Between 2001 and 2006 survival from oesophageal cancer improved from significantly with one year survival increasing from 32 per cent to 39 per cent.
Prostrate cancer exhibited continuous improvement from 1996 to 2006, mostly due to the increase in number and type of prostrate cancers diagnosed as a result of the increase in use of PSA testing.
For lung cancer patients who had surgery, survival was significantly different with 21-month observed survival at 44 per cent in 1996, 64 per cent in 2001 and 74 per cent in 2006.

One way students get classified in Japanese schools and then in their later life is whether they are on a science track or an arts track, so goo Ranking decided to find out what Japanese women think are the slightly lop-sidedness of science-y guys. Hopefully they?ll also do the women and the arts track soon!
Demographics
Between the 17th and 18th of January 2012 1,048 members of the goo Research online monitor group completed a private internet-based questionnaire. 61.6% of the sample were female, 12.3% in their teens, 15.6% in their twenties, 27.9% in their thirties, 25.8% in their forties, 9.5% in their fifties, and 8.9% in their sixties. Note that the score in the results refers to the relative number of votes for each option, not a percentage of the total sample. This survey was for the women only.
I can identify with most of the list, I suppose, and those I don?t identify personally with, I know someone in the same line of business who does! The only one that stands out as a bit odd is number 7, they tell logical jokes. Perhaps in Japan it has a different meaning, or perhaps it is as a contrast to slapstick?

The companies that produce these products are part of a multi-billion dollar industry. Don?t be fooled, therefore, by the marketing techniques that some of these companies may employ to get your hard-earned dollar. Some of these products have been reformulated with the addition of vitamins, on the premise that they are then healthier. The problem with this premise is the way that your skin uses vitamins for nourishment. You don?t nourish your skin with most vitamins by rubbing them on your skin. You receive the benefit from the vitamins from ingesting them. Don?t believe everything you hear, therefore, when all they are mainly trying to do is get you to buy their product. There is so much information available telling you to drink a lot of water to help with weight loss. This helps explain why the companies that bottle water are so big and successful when, in reality, their product is simply water! Well, in any event, there are many ways in which keeping your body hydrated is beneficial to both your health and your skin. The first thing to remember is that water is instrumental in keeping the trillions of cells in your body ? including your skin ? healthy and strong. Secondly, it helps keep your body detoxified, which is very important. Actually, what water does is help your liver stay healthy so it can perform one of its major functions, which is to detoxify your systems. When you see the improvement in your skin that drinking adequate water provides, you will not want to stop drinking sufficient water. In all fairness, we want to point out that there is a condition known as fatal water intoxication that has caused death in individuals who consumed frantically extreme amounts of water in a short period of time. In the case we reviewed, an elderly woman had forced herself to drink between 30 to 40 glasses of water in one evening and later, died.
We have all tried different products for our skin and were not satisfied with the results. Some people may give up or simply move on to another product. But keep in mind that this is not unusual at all, and it just has to do with finding the right product. You have to know your skin type and think about other things such as sensitivities if you have them. Then the smart approach is to match the product you are using to your skin the best you can. You may have to try different products until you discover one that your skin loves. So do not be so quick to throw in the towel and keep searching.
If you pay attention to a few basic factors, you can easily put into place an effective skin care program for your body. Be holistic in your approach by eating a healthy diet, exercising, getting adequate sleep, and drinking enough water each day. As you know, to keep your body hydrated, you need to drink water. Teas and sodas don?t count. One rule of thumb to keep in mind is that when you get thirsty you?ve already gone too long without drinking any water. Obviously, if you?re thirsty, your body needs water. However, it?s much better to drink sufficient water throughout the day so that you don?t get thirsty.
Huawei's continuing to shore up its very own gang of smartphones and it looks like another another addition's been spotted on the horizon. A handful of official-looking images reveal a possible new flagship, the Ascend D1 Q, toting some curves and color detail -- at least on the speaker grill and camera unit. Sidestepping the slimline looks seen on the P1 series, the D1 Q is rumored to be the powerhouse of the set, supposedly housing a quad-core processor -- which would explain that Q suffix. With that annual mobile show just days away, expect to see some more concrete specifications very soon.

The American immigration system has sparked many intense arguments and discussions among the political spectrum of the United States government. Immigration has been occurring between the United States and numerous other countries, such as Mexico, China, India, and Cuba, for many decades, but more recently the number of illegal immigrants has sky-rocketed to profound heights. There is an estimated twelve million illegal immigrants currently residing within the United States borders. Everyday more and more illegal immigrants enter into United States to take part in both the government?s benefits and job placing. The processes involved in both legal and illegal immigration needs to be reformed and become more restrictive towards those illegal immigrants who truly have no desire to apply for citizenship.
Caps or restrictions need to be placed upon the time allotment and amount of visas, green cards, temporary work cards, and the lottery programs, which allow immigrants to cross over the
border into the United States. Immigrants with temporary-work visas need to evacuate America and return to their home countries when their allotted working term has been completed. The family reunification process also needs to be reformed to include only the reunion of nuclear family members, which consists of children and spouses. Extended family petitions need to be disregarded from the 1965 Immigration Act because they create serious problems concerning chain migration. The practice of chain migration greatly affects the annual allowance of immigrants into the United States. The United States current immigration policies hinder the many economic advancements and interests of America. The United States cannot continue allowing millions of immigrants to integrate into the country each year. Standards and precedent needs to be established in order to filter through the wide selection of immigrants wanting to enter into America. Immigrants should be provided with the basic tools,?
Online gaming has emerged as a popular and successful source of entertainment and play for people of all ages, especially for the students. It refers to the games that are played over some forms of computer network, typically on the internet. These games are played online, in which you can connect with multiple players. It is normally platform independent, relying on the web browser and appropriate plug-in.
? ? ? ? It is one of the best inventions that is made ever by human beings. It has the ability to link players together. It has been one of the most popular activities in entertaining for younger people. Because of this, almost everybody is into it. Its fantastic characteristic makes a lot of students become hook on it. It provides entertainment and at the same time, online socialization with different kind of people. But sometimes, it causes negative effects.
It has two kinds of impacts: the good and bad. It depends on the player itself.
Studies show that online gaming is a major source of addiction, especially to college students. Because of its ability to link multi-players together, most students become hooked on it. They keep on playing and playing because it gives them thrill until it becomes an addiction.
This research study shows how online gaming can be an addiction and its possible effects on the students.
Background of the study
For most gamers, the era of online games started with the release of the four-player game Doom in 1994. However, the very first multiplayer game was actually developed in 1969 by Rick Blomme who wrote a two-player game. Then, in 1979, Roy Trubshaw and Rich Bartle developed the first multi-user dungeon (MUD) interactive game. MUDs were role-playing computer games that run on a bulletin board system or Internet server. Through MUDs, players see textual descriptions of rooms, objects, other characters, and computer-controlled creatures in a virtual world. The introduction of MUDs saw the?

Sandia National Laboratories researchers find energy storage 'solutions' in MetILsPublic release date: 17-Feb-2012 [ | E-mail | Share ]

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. Sandia researchers have developed a new family of liquid salt electrolytes, known as MetILs, that could lead to batteries able to cost-effectively store three times more energy than today's batteries.
The research, published in Dalton Transactions, might lead to devices that can help economically and reliably incorporate large-scale intermittent renewable energy sources, like solar and wind, into the nation's electric grid.
The grid was designed for steady power sources, making fluctuating electricity from intermittent renewable energy difficult to accommodate. Better energy storage techniques help even out the flow of such fluctuating sources, and Sandia researchers are studying new ways to develop a more flexible, cost-effective and reliable electric grid with improved energy storage.
"The U.S. and the world need significant breakthroughs in battery technology for renewable energy sources to replace today's carbon-based energy systems," said Anthony Medina, director of Sandia's Energetic Components Realization program. "MetILs are a new, promising battery chemistry that might provide the next generation of stationary storage battery technology, replacing lead-acid and lithium-ion batteries and providing significantly higher energy storage density for these applications."
For the past 20 years, lithium-ion batteries have been at the forefront of energy storage research. Their compact, lightweight design is well suited for cell phones, laptop computers and personal electronics, but lithium-ion batteries are expensive and degradation issues limit their use in stationary, high-capacity application on the nation's electric grid.
Sandia researcher and inorganic chemist Travis Anderson is leading a team developing the next generation of flow batteries. A flow battery pumps a solution of free-floating charged metal ions, dissolved in an electrolyte substance with free-floating ions that conducts electricity from an external tank through an electrochemical cell to convert chemical energy into electricity. Flow batteries are rapidly charged and discharged by changing the charge state of the electrolyte, and the electroactive material can be easily re-used many times. Anderson said flow batteries can sustain more than 14,000 cycles in the lab, equivalent to more than 20 years of energy storage, which would be unusual in a lithium-ion battery.
However, flow battery grid storage systems are roughly the size of a house and can cost more than equivalent lithium-ion batteries. The goal of researchers is to make flow batteries smaller and cheaper, while increasing the amount of energy stored for a given volume, or energy density.
Flow batteries have been fielded in the U.S., Japan and Australia. A number of systems up to 25 MW are in the process of being demonstrated under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) administered by DOE's Energy Storage Systems Research program. Zinc bromine and vanadium redox systems are among the top contenders. But the materials involved are moderately toxic, and vanadium is subject to major price fluctuations. In addition, the aqueous solution limits the amount of material that can be dissolved and how much energy can be stored, and outside temperature can hurt performance.
Sandia is pioneering research on flow batteries that avoid these problems by not using water. Anderson assembled a multidisciplinary team of experts from the Labs, including electrochemist David Ingersoll, organic chemist Chad Staiger and chemical technologists Harry Pratt and Jonathan Leonard. What they've designed is a new family of electrochemically reversible, metal-based ionic liquids, or MetILs, which are based on inexpensive, non-toxic materials that are readily available within the U.S., such as iron, copper and manganese.
"Instead of dissolving the salt into a solvent, our salt is a solvent," Anderson said. "We're able to get a much higher concentration of the active metal because we're not limited by saturation. It's actually in the formula. So we can cost-effectively triple our energy density, which drastically reduces the necessary size of the battery, just by the nature of the material."
The electrochemical efficiency, or ability to reverse charge, in MetILs is far greater than anything else published to date. The team has prepared nearly 200 combinations of cations, anions and ligands, and of those, five outperform the electrochemical efficiency of ferrocene, which has long been considered the gold standard.
A common problem when mixing positively and negatively charged species is that these species will start aggregating together, eventually causing the solution to turn gummy and clog the battery membrane and electrode surfaces. The team addressed that challenge by developing asymmetric cations, or positively charged ions, that resemble a soccer ball. In this analogy, the black pentagons represent negatively charged areas and the white hexagons represent positively charged regions. Such an arrangement lowers the melting point by preventing the ionic liquid constituents from bonding and becoming a solid, while the partial charge still allows electrons to flow freely through the cell to generate a current.
The team is funded by the Department of Energy's Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability. Imre Gyuk, energy storage systems program manager for that office, has been a champion of Sandia's efforts and provided the necessary funding.
"The MetILs approach represents an ingenious, out-of-the-box solution to the cathode/electrolyte paradigm. Because it is based on readily available, inexpensive precursors, it may well lead to innovative, cost-effective storage systems with major impacts on the entire U.S. grid," said Gyuk.
The findings apply to new flow battery cathode materials. The next step for the Sandia team is to find similar materials for flow battery anodes, and researchers are encouraged by their progress.
"There are three things you're juggling at the same time, and they aren't always related: viscosity, electrical conductivity and the fundamental electrochemical efficiency," Anderson said. "The excitement of having all three things go right at the same time, it's like finding the treasure, but without the map. We're creating that map, and we're very excited by the possibilities."
