Most Ignored Cancer Symptoms in Women & Men

It’s surprised that, after heart disease, cancer is the second most common cause of death in the US. According to Medical News, detecting and treating your cancer early on can improve your outlook. The signs of some cancers, however, can be subtle and easy to miss. Here are the most commonly ignored signs of cancer in both men and women life.

Bone Pain
Whether it's a shooting pain or a dull aching sensation, any indication of bone pain could be a sign of bone cancer. You may also experience swelling or fractures, the American Cancer Society reports.

Body Rash
Rashes body can indicate all kinds of health conditions, like infections or allergic reactions. They can also be a sign of leukemia, which is cancer of the blood. According to Medical News Today, abnormal blood cells disrupt the production of platelets, which normally block and burst capillaries from leaking in the skin. As a result, those with leukemia may see tiny red, purple, or brown spots called petechiae on the skin.

Eye Pain
According to the NHS, pain in or around the eyes can be a sign of eye cancer, as is seeing shadows and flashes of light, blurred vision, or vision loss.

Frequent Headaches
We all get a headache sometime, but if you notice any unusual new patterns of headaches or growth in severity, Mayo Clinic says this could be a sign of a brain tumor.

Heartburn
Frequent episodes of heartburn or a constant low-level feeling of pain in the chest after eating could be signs of esophageal cancer or stomach cancer, according to the American Cancer Society.

Painful Periods
Many women reported unusually heavy or painful periods or bleeding between periods as the tip-off to endometrial cancer, Mayo Clinic reports.

Nipple Changes
One of the most common changes women notice before a breast cancer diagnosis is a nipple that began to appear flattened, inverted or turned sideways.

Sore Breasts
In women, breasts that appear red or purplish in color or feel hot, swollen, or irritated can signal inflammatory breast cancer, according to the National Institute of Health.

Testicular Swelling
If you're experiencing any usual changes of the testicles, such as swelling, then you should pay a visit to your doctor. According to Medical News Today, enlarged or swollen testicles can signal testicle cancer in men, which can be coupled with or without pain.

Difficulty Swallowing
Difficulty in swallowing is most commonly associated with throat cancer, but could also be one of the first signs of lung cancer, Everyday Health reports. A hoarse voice or feeling pressure on the throat could also be an early indicator of thyroid cancer.

Dubai Smart cameras catch drivers using mobile even if cars are tinted

The advanced systems are designed to detect various violations, such as not wearing seat belts, mobile phone usage, and other distractions from the road. Impressively, they can capture these violations even if the vehicle’s windscreen is tinted."

The Director of the General Department of Traffic at Dubai Police, said on Friday dated 08/11/2024 that advanced smart traffic cameras recently identified serious cases of distracted driving. “In one instance, a driver was caught using two phones at once while driving, while another was seen reading a newspaper, obstructing the view of the road,” he added.

Advanced photo technology
Explaining the technology to Khaleej Times, Youssef Al Hansali, CEO of Vitronic Machine Vision, said: “The smart camera system is capable of detecting if a motorist uses a mobile phone via advanced photo technology coupled with artificial intelligence.”

“A front-facing photo of the violating motorist is taken and processed by the UAE authorities for further action. It is important to understand that the system works very well from the front, but also from the side angle, and it is even able to penetrate tinted car windows,” added Al Hansali, whose company “has installed a variety of cutting-edge enforcement systems in the UAE".

Highest paid Managers in world football in 2024

Four Premier League managers feature in the highest-paid bosses in world football – and there is one surprise name amongst the rest of the entries too. The best-paid managers in the world are unsurprisingly at some of Europe’s most glamorous clubs, with the head coaches of Manchester City, Internazionale and Real Madrid featuring at the top end.

1. Diego Simeone (£30,000,000 per year)
Simeone might not be at the biggest club in the world, but he earns a higher salary at Atletico Madrid than any coach at any other club.

The Argentinian is the longest-serving coach in Europe’s major leagues and has been well-remunerated for the transformative effect he’s had at the club since 2011.

As coach, he’s led Atletico to two La Liga titles and two Champions League finals, while qualifying the club for Europe’s most prestigious cup competition in every one of his full seasons at the helm. That impact has been recognised by the Atletico hierarchy and he’s remained the best-paid coach in football over the past few years.

Simeone earns a whopping £30million per year and remains contracted at the Metropolitano Stadium until 2027.

2. Pep Guardiola (£20,000,000 per year)
£20million is an eye-watering sum, but it’s hard to say that Guardiola doesn’t deserve his Manchester City salary given the sustained success under his management.

The Spaniard guided City to their fourth successive Premier League title last season and are favourites to retain their crown in 2024-25.

His contract expires at the end of the current campaign, but rumours are growing that Guardiola will sign an extension and take his stay in Manchester to a full decade.

3. Steven Gerrard (£15,200,000 per year)
The surprise inclusion on the list is Gerrard, who is currently managing in Saudi Arabia.

The former Aston Villa and Rangers boss is paid an annual wage of €17.6million to manage Al-Ettifaq which blows plenty of Premier League managers out of the water.

And despite the club’s topsy-turvy Saudi Pro League this season, the 44-year-old has a contract which runs all the way to 2027.

4. Carlo Ancelotti (£9,600,000 per year)
Despite his undoubted success at Real Madrid, rumours linking Ancelotti with the Brazil job refused to go away throughout last season.

But the enigmatic Italian put pen to paper on a three-year extension, bringing his salary up to £9.6m per year.

A decade after winning his maiden Champions League for Los Blancos in his first stint, he lifted it again for a third time and fifth overall as a manager. Don Carlo’s adaptable, free-flowing football offers a refreshing respite from the more structured plans of his contemporaries. We are big fans.

5. Mikel Arteta (£9,500,000 per year)
Arsenal recently rewarded Arteta with a bumper new contract – and it’s hard to say that he doesn’t deserve it. The former Gunners captain has changed the complexion of the club since taking over in 2019; no longer are Arsenal the feeble, fragile laughing stock of yesteryear.

Two title challenges to Manchester City’s crown are a direct result of Arteta’s cultural overhaul, with the Spaniard responsible for everything from masterminding a tactical revolution to his ‘unique’ motivational methods.

6. Erik ten Hag (£9,000,000 per year)
It remains to be seen how long Ten Hag keeps his job at Manchester United after making another poor start to the 2024-25 campaign.

But the Dutchman certainly isn’t feeling the pinch at Old Trafford if his £9million annual salary is any indication.

United will always offer top money as a reflection of the unique pressures of managing the club, but even winning two trophies in two seasons hasn’t stopped people from questioning whether Ten Hag is proving value for money.

World’s biggest solar plant goes online in China

The world’s biggest solar plant has come online in China in June 2024, capable of powering a small country with its annual capacity of more than 6 billion kilowatt hours. The facility in a desert region of the north-west province of Xinjiang covers 200,000 acres roughly the same area as New York City.

A recent report by the International Energy Agency (IEA) described China’s drive towards renewables as “extraordinary”, with the country commissioning as much solar capacity last year as the entire world did in 2022.

China accounts for almost 60% of new renewable capacity expected to become operational globally by 2028,” the report stated.

China’s role is critical in reaching the global goal of tripling renewables because the country is expected to install more than half of the new capacity required globally by 2030. At the end of the forecast period, almost half of China’s electricity generation will come from renewable energy sources.”
