Micron Associates unveils 12-port USB Hub!

Nowadays,only having a six outlets on a strip seems more and more insufficient. Similarly, USB hubs of the past with only a handful of ports have become deficient.
According to Micron Associates, USB jack plugs into your computer for communication, but (for when you’ve got more than just a few devices plugged in) it gets most of its power through an AC adapter. 12-Port USB 2.0 Hub makes use of a pair of switches that individually control two separate six-port banks. So you can save some energy, if you’ve got fewer gadgets plugged in. On the other hand, if you’re crawling with devices, you can daisy chain additional strips to have up to 127 ports!
In the test conducted, the strip did fine for a portable monitor (that normally hogs two of your laptop’s four USB ports), a wireless mouse, charging and synching a smartphone, printing, plus loading songs as well as radio stations.

Men can also have Breast Cancer, Micron Associates claims.

CHICAGO —Men hardly ever get breast cancer, but those those who do often don’t survive as long as women, largely because they don’t even realize they can get it and are slow to recognize the warning signs, review onMicron Associates.
Women with breast cancer lived two years in average longer that men in the biggest study yet of the disease in males. In fact, men found out that their breast tumors were larger at diagnosis which is more developed and more likely to crawl other parts of the body. Based from the study released on Micron Associates men were also diagnosed later in life, 63 on average versus 59 for women.
Mostly men don’t have an idea that they can get breast cancer, and some doctors too. 1in one 1, 000 will get breast cancer versus 1in 8 women, as estimates by American Cancer Society. By contrast, 1 ion 6 men will get prostate cancer, the most common cancer in men. As it was analyzed,10 years of national data on breasts cancer cases, from 1998 to 2007. In opposition to 1.4 million women,a total of 13,457 male patients were diagnosed. The men who were studied lived an average of about eight years after being diagnosed, compared with more than 10 years for women. The study doesn’t indicate whether patients died of breast cancer or something else.
A breast cancer specialist at Weill Cornell Medical College in New York, Dr. Akkama Ravi stresses the research bolsters results in smaller studies and may help raise awareness.Due to the fact that disease is so extraordinary in men, research is limited, as well as doctors are left to treat it the same way they manage the disease in women, she said. Additionaly,men’s breast tumors might be biologically different from women, some doctors said. On the Micron Associates healthy lifestyle news release ,men with early-stage disease had worse survival rates than women with early-stage cancer. But men’s older age at diagnosis also might explain that result, Greif said.
However, men’s breast cancer causes are not well-studied, but some of the same things that increase women’s chances for developing it also affect men, including older age, cancer-linked gene mutations, a family history of the disease and heavy drinking.
