Testicular Cancer is one of the most dreaded disease that may effect the male sex for many natural reasons. Unfortunately this type of cancer is fairly hard to detect. Discovering it in the early and treatable stages is your best bet. If you're a female reading this article, share this to your male partner, relatives and friends.
Studies have shown that white male (caucasian men) develop testicular cancer at a higher rate. It is best that we track our family background about this type of cancer and all types of diseases for that matter. Having had testicular cancer in your family/relatives increases your risk factor.
Do your doctor a favor. Examine if you feel any lumps at least once a month. If you feel any abnormal lumps don't hesitate to have it examined by the doctor. As mentioned before, early detection is your best friend for treating testicular cancer.
Have a scheduled physical examinations regularly with your family or personal physician as part of your healthy lifestyle.

Most Dangerous Mountain; Annapurna Peak
Photo from wikipedia 
I have a list of 1,000 things to do before I say goodbye to this world. One of them is at least stay for a couple days in a major base camp of the Himalayan mountains and do some trekking. No, I'm not going to climb any peak! That's far from reality for me. In my searches for my future plans, I came across a not so famous peak called Annapurma which has an odd story to tell.
Annapurna I, this col peaks at 8,091 metres (26,545 ft), compared to mount Everest's 8,500-metere (27,900 ft) its the world's 10th highest summit. Whats not special about its peak is the fatality rate of its successful expedition. As of 2005, only 103 successful summits have been made, and 56 lives were lost or about more than 50% fatality. Climbers killed on the peak include famed Russian climber Anatoli Boukreev in 1997, Christian Kuntner in 2005 and Iñaki Ochoa in 2008.
The Annapurna I peak was the highest summit reached by climbers in history on June 3, 1950. In fact it remained the highest peak reached for three years before Mt. Everest.

How to Save Money on Gas
How to Save Money on Gas Tips
With the continuing increase of price fuels in the world market, motorists are looking for more ways to improve gasoline mileage. Keeping our vehicle in top condition is one of the best way of improving gas mileage, especially on older car models. Today I will be focusing on the driving style to improve the car's fuel efficiency.
A few years ago, we've been introduced to defensive driving style as a safety precaution on the road. I would like to incorporate some of these defensive driving tips to fuel saving.
Tailgate in a Safe Distance
Follow the car ahead of you in a safe distance. Especially on poor weather conditions. The ideal distance on city driving is about 2 to 3 seconds and about 4 seconds or more on fast highway speeds. This gives you time to turn your steering wheel to avoid accidents and abrupt braking of the vehicle ahead. It also lessens the chances of unnecessary braking - which improves gas mileage as well.
Highway Speed Limits
Disregarding speed limits is not only a violation and causes of an accident but also disrupts the traffic and low gasoline mileage. If the highway speed limit is 70mph, stick to about a line below 70 or better yet if the outer lane or the slower vehicle lane is traffic free and you can drive at a good speed don't hesitate to move to that lane. It's proven that slower driving improves gas mileage.
Anticipate the Road
Road positioning is a safe way to exit highways and avoiding unnecessary acceleration - another way to improving gas mileage. I'll give a scenario. On the highway, you are on the inner lane or the fast lane and soon exiting on the next town or probably need to fill up your gas, try to slow down a few hundred meters ahead, see your right side mirror for the incoming vehicle on the slower lane before you make a slow right turn and safely exit. Also try to slow down a bit while on the fast lane, match the speed of slow vehicle, let him pass and safely make a right on the slow lane instead of immediately accelerating and making a right pass to your destination.
More Smart Tips.
Park in a shade. Especially on a hot weather, e.g under a tree. This helps lessen evaporating of the fuel. Also the need of turning the ACU to high - Air conditioning is said to take up 10%-20% mpg.
Avoid shifting above the 2000 rpm. Shift just below this line if possible especially on straight roads.
Use your vehicle's overdrive capabilities always "ON". Overdrive gears are more efficient especially on highways.
Fill up your gas in early morning or late afternoon/evening. It is said that when the weather is at it's peak or when it's hot, gas tends to expand and reducing the gasoline you are filling up.
Fill up your fuel tank to about 4/5 or 80% when possible. This lessens the hassles and more importantly reduces your visit to gasoline stations - which also causes gasoline consumption. Why 3/4? Weight reduction is also a way to save gasoline per gallon.
These are some of the ways to save money on gas. Please do your share to find more tips to money saving tips on gasoline and incorporate them in your driving.
