10 Common Myths of Cancer

Has anyone ever told you that wearing a bra causes breast cancer?

How about that treating cancer can make it spread?

Did you think that it was true? If yes, you’ve been taken in by a cancer myth.

Myths about cancer can sometimes be convincing because they sound like common sense. In fact, they are not based on scientific evidence and are misleading and dangerous.
The real harm comes when people make decisions based on misinformation or hoaxes, rather than scientific evidence or the advice of health professionals. When it comes to your health, it’s important to separate fact from fiction.

10 common cancer myths:

1. Myth	Cancer is contagious.
Fact	Unlike a cold or the flu, you cannot catch cancer by coming in contact with someone who has it.
2. Myth	All tumours are malignant.
Fact	Tumours can be either benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Benign tumour cells stay in one place in the body. Benign tumours are not usually life-threatening. Malignant tumour cells are able to invade the tissues around them and spread to other parts of the body.
3. Myth	Cancer can spread as a result of treatment.
Fact	In many cases, surgery is an essential part of the cancer treatment plan. Cancer surgeons, known as surgical oncologists, know how to safely take biopsy samples for testing and how to remove tumours without causing spread of the cancer.
4. Myth	Bras cause breast cancer.
Fact	At this time, there is no reliable, scientific evidence that shows a link between wearing a bra and developing breast cancer.
5. Myth	An injury, like a bruise or sprain, can cause cancer.
Fact	A fall, bruise or sprain does not cause cancer. However, a person may visit his or her doctor about an injury and, by chance, a tumour could be found at that time. There is no evidence that any type of cancer is caused by injury alone.
6. Myth	Freckles are a sign of cancer.
Fact	Freckles are not a sign of cancer and do not become cancerous. However, the risk of skin cancer is increased for people with freckles. Reduce your risk of skin cancer by following these SunSense tips. There is one type of skin cancer called melanoma that may look like a freckle in its early stages. Check your skin regularly and see your doctor if a mole changes colour or shape or if it itches or bleeds.
7. Myth	A tan is healthy and will prevent sunburn and skin cancer.
Fact	A suntan won’t protect you against skin cancer. A tan is the sign of damage or injury to your skin. Having what people call a base tan does not offer protection against further sun damage. For those who still feel they must have a tan, the Canadian Dermatology Association (CDA) recommends the use of self-tanning creams, applied at night, followed with a sunscreen of SPF 15 or higher. Remember, self-tanning creams do not provide sun protection.
8. Myth	Light or mild cigarettes are less likely to cause cancer.
Fact	Regular smokers who switch to these low tar and low nicotine cigarettes tend to adjust their smoking habits by inhaling deeply or longer or covering up the ventilation holes to get enough nicotine to feel good. This also means they are inhaling more chemicals and tar.
9. Myth	Lung cancer is the only type of cancer that smokers have to worry about.
Fact	It is estimated that smoking is responsible for 30% of all cancer deaths and is related to more than 85% of lung cancer cases in Canada. Smoking can also increase the risk of many other cancers, including cancer of the bladder, cervix, colon and rectum, esophagus, kidney, larynx, mouth and throat, pancreas, and stomach.
10. Myth	Whether or not you get cancer is determined by luck or genetics. There isn’t much you can do about it.
Fact	There is a lot we can do to prevent cancer, both as individuals and as a society. At least half of all cancers can be prevented through healthy living and policies that protect the health of Canadians.

A Short History of Email

by: Jimson Lee

This may feel like a mini-course in ancient history, but I am only going back 20 years.

Back in the mid 1980’s during University, my email was a mcgill.ca address while my American associates had an “.edu” email address. Access to these systems was through a Telnet session at any of the school’s terminals. From home, I could dial-in to a SLIP server with a 2400 baud modem, and get my email as long as I had a Telnet client.

Those who didn’t go to College had access to a Freenet account, which was also accessible through Telnet.

When I graduated and had to pay for an Internet Service Provider, I accessed email through POP and SMTP with Outlook or Eudora for years until I needed the ability to access the web from anywhere in the world. IMAP helped bridge the gap as long as the mail client was setup on my work and home computer so all my mail, Inbox, Sent Items, and Drafts, were synchronized.

With the popularity of web based emails by the mid 1990’s, the big 3 were MSN’s Hotmail, Yahoo! and Google’s Gmail. People would change or have multiple accounts as storage space was often the biggest headache. It wasn’t long ago when 2 megabytes was the maximum storage space. Gmail was the first to offer 2 gigabytes of storage, and continuously growing.

Most web based email providers had the ability to download POP email, but your email “from” or “reply-to” address was usually your web based email address. This is acceptable for personal use, but not for corporate use.

At a corporate level, Microsoft Exchange combined with the Outlook client was extremely popular, and is still popular today. Exchange is a messaging and groupware server that uses IMAP as one of the many protocols to access email. It also has the Outlook Web Access feature which was more convenient than conventional web based email as it had your contacts, shared calendars and public folders.

Today, I still like using Outlook, as it offers a great “store and forward” mechanism: the ability to work off-line on my laptop. I can easily work in Draft mode on an airplane and connect to the Internet to synchronize my mailbox when back on land. Plus, my Contacts are synchronized with my Palm PDA or Blackberry wireless handheld device.

Sure, I could download my Yahoo or Gmail to my Outlook by using POP, but it wouldn’t synchronize any changes. It also depends if my mail was deleted on the server after downloading, or stored on the server. Sorting email can be painfully slow with Yahoo compared to Gmail’s lightning fast search algorithm, but you can’t sort by file size, for example.

Now that Gmail supports IMAP, by combining it with Outlook, I combine the best of both worlds. There are some features of Outlook I cannot live without, and with the popularity of social networking, integration with LinkedIn or Facebook makes it more appealing.

There is a trend for personal email decreasing in favor of Instant Messaging and text messaging via cell phone. However, Email will always have a place in the corporate world.

What is DSL?

by: Toh Poh

DSL stands for Digital Subscriber Line. It is a service that makes the use of existing copper telephone wires for delivering data services at extremely fast speed rates. It does not hamper the existing telephone line. You can surf the Internet and talk on the phone, simultaneously.

DSL offers speeds that are around 5 to 25 times higher than a typical 56Kb dial-up connection. It is an always-on type of connection. This implies that websites would load quickly, downloads would be faster, buffering of videos would be fast and smooth and the domain of Online games would be illimitable.

Based on the types of service, DSL can be can be categorized in three divisions which are ASDL, IDSL and SDSL.

ADSL stands for Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line. It offers download speed of 1.5 Mbps and upload speed of 384 K. In order to acquire a ADSL connection, your location has to be within 3 miles of your local telephone office. Also, a DSL router is needed for this type of connection.

IDSL is a ISDN Digital Subscriber Line service which requires an ISDN router. It provides a connection speed of 144 K. in this type of connection distance is not a component to be considered.

SDSL means Symmetric Digital Subscriber Line. The speeds available under this type of DSL connection depends on the distance between your location and your local telephone office. The speed of downloads and uploads can go up to 1.1 Mbps.

Advantages of DSL

No installation of new wires is required. DSL uses the present telephone line to connect to the Internet. It provides extremely fast connection. Depending on the offer, you would not even have to pay for the DSL modem installation charges, since it is provided free by some of the companies on selection of the appropriate plan. The download rate is much higher in DSL connections. Many business organizations have gained the benefits of DSL. A DSL connection is very secure.

Disadvantages of DSL

The quality of your DSL connection depends on the distance between the DSL providers office and your location. Nearer you are, the better quality connection would you get. So, consumers located far from the local DSL office may face some trouble. DSL provide high speeds for downloading stuff but upload speeds are not that good.

DSL vs Cable Modems

The services provided through a cable modem can sometimes slow down or get hanged. It depends on the number of users accessing that particular service. But, in a DSL connection there is no such problem. The speed of DSL is consistent and high. This does not allow any kind of conjunction on the network. It provides more security than the cable modem connections. The popularity of DSL has risen to new heights which has resulted in disconnections and up gradations of the cable modem connections.

7 Must Know Ways To Prevent Spam

By: Timothy Rudon

Spam is the bane of everyone’s existence. Unsolicited mail flooding mail boxes has caused many problems world wide. The widely accepted definition of spam is “Electronic communication that contains material of a commercial, solicitational, or illegal nature, directed as part of bulk distribution to any address.”

The first step towards fighting spam is to learn how spam works. A useful source is CAUCE or the Coalition Against Unsolicited Commercial Email and the SpamCon Foundation. Log on to the World Wide Web and read about ant-spam laws, government stand against spam, and coalitions that are working towards prevention of spamming. Be sure to take part in anti-spam community efforts by joining forums and groups.

Spam can be prevented from entering your mail box by:

1. Determining the IP address of the sender and blocking it.

2. Use blacklist services like SBL (http://www.spamhaus.org/sbl) or the RBL (http://www.mailabuse.org/rbl) that maintain lists of IP addresses that are know originators of spammers. Blacklist services are efficient in blocking spam as they use the latest methods in preventing spam.

3. Use the spam guard services offered by email services like gmail and yahoo.

4. White list services where only mail from known addresses are approved by the recipient.

5. Use heuristic engines that look for keyword patterns that match know spam rules and block messages that contain known patterns. Well known heuristic engines include SpamAssassin that has a high detection rate.

6. Networked vigilance an open source initiative that involves continued maintenance of a data base and then the mail server asks a centralized VR node, Vipul’s razor for spam listings.

7. Using Bayesian filtering engines like SpamBayes , http://www.spambayes.org/. This has its uses as well as downside.

By: Timothy Rudon

Spam can also be blocked by configuring anti-virus software to scan emails for viruses. Desist from leaving your email address over the internet and signing up for freebies and news letters. Use a separate email account for this purpose. Stay abreast of anti-spam efforts and adopt the latest possible anti-virus software and firewall systems. Never open mails from people unknown to you and immediately report spam mails to the mail host/provider. Try standalone spam filtering software like Qurb eTrust Anti-Spam, iHate Spam, Spam Bully.

Experts at PC World reported that almost 75 percent of email is spam mail and that in their study they found that SpamCatcher was one of the most affordable and simplest of anti-spam tools. Another notable product was InBoxer which works only with Out Look.

Fighting spam is a world wide war and efforts are being made by software manufacturers, search engines, lay persons, as well as others.
