Wordpress installation using separate domain registrar and web host, plus why it is essential to set it up that way. What you'll learn: Understand the differences between Wordpress.com and Wordpress.orgUse a separate registrar and web hostInstall WordpressCreate posts and pagesFind and install new themesFind and install pluginsCreate a 100% free Wordpress website if they want Installing Wordpress - Installation, domain registrars and web hosting is a course designed to give complete beginners all the knowledge and skills they need to install Wordpress on any web host. We'll discuss domain registrars and web hosting, and see why it is better to use two separate companies for this, rather than relying on your web host to act as both host and registrar. If that statement confuses you, don't panic. I'll explain how to set all of this up, with videos and PDFs to help every step of the way. I'll even show you how to move a domain you already own to a separate domain registrar. We'll look at two automated ways of installing Wordpress, plus a manual method using FTP for those that like adventure. I'll tell you which automated method is better, and why. Once Wordpress is installed, we'll clean up the installation to remove the "fluff" that Wordpress installed. We'll look at adding posts and pages, and talk about the main differences between these two types of document. One of the reasons I love Wordpress is the simplicity of changing the look and feel of the site using themes. We'll see how to find and install specific themes that meet your criteria, as well as how to install premium themes in case you buy one. One of the most powerful features of Wordpress is the way it can be extended using plugins, which add new features and capabilities to an already powerful content management system. We'll look at finding and installing plugins (both free and premium), and I'll tell you some of the free plugins I use on most of my sites. Finally, for those that want a 100% free Wordpress site, I'll show you how to create one. There are limitations to this type of Wordpress site, but hey, it's free, right? I'll let you know what you can and cannot do with these free sites. By the end of this course, you will be able to install Wordpress on any web host, using a separate domain registrar, and understand why that is important.

Cancers are a serious threat to people's lives. People are very afraid of cancers but have little knowledge of them. The course will introduce the basic concepts of oncology, the basic knowledge of cancer biology, and the content of clinical oncology. We expect students to pay attention to cancers, understand cancers, increase awareness of cancer prevention, and stimulate students' enthusiasm and interest in cancer research in the future. This course will use the world's authoritative English textbook "The Biology of Cancer" by the famous cancer biologist Robert A. Weinberg as the main bibliography, focusing on the basic concepts of cancer biology and the development of modern science and clinical cancers. Although the course is mainly related to the medical profession, the explanation emphasizes the knowledge explanation based on science, and the non-professional students can apply for study. Students in the fields of medicine, biology, pharmacy, biomedicine, chemistry, physics, etc. have more advantages in this course. The course invites 8 professors and clinical experts from Tsinghua University School of Medicine and Beijing Tsinghua Chang Gung Memorial Hospital to work on cancer research. The strong faculty members bring the most cutting-edge and most advanced course content to students.

What is the one thing that all cancers have in common? They begin as mutant or rebel cells! In this course we will explore how changes in cancer genetics and epigenetics enables these cells to grow uncontrollably, by exploiting our blood vessels and immune system along with other systemic changes. Finally, we will discuss how our understanding of genetics has helped both refine conventional treatments like radiation and chemotherapy, and inform the design of new treatments that can target specific proteins within cancer cells. This course is an introduction to cancer genetics and is designed to further your knowledge of the molecular basis of cancer. It is suitable for secondary school students, considering studying medicine, nursing, or other careers in healthcare, as well as teachers who wish to learn more about cancer development. It would also be beneficial for undergraduate students, pharmacists, nurses, and medical practitioners who want to further their understanding of the genetics and epigenetics. This course is also suitable for cancer patients, families, and carer groups who want to explore the science behind cancer development and treatment.

Learn how messenger RNA (mRNA) technology is being developed and utilized to create innovative cancer vaccines that can potentially revolutionize cancer treatment. Explore the fundamental mechanisms behind mRNA cancer vaccines, including how they work to stimulate the immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells by instructing cells to produce specific cancer-associated proteins that trigger an immune response. Discover the current research and clinical trials being conducted to test the efficacy of these vaccines across different cancer types, and understand the advantages mRNA vaccines offer over traditional cancer treatment approaches, such as their ability to be rapidly designed and manufactured for personalized cancer therapy. Examine the challenges and limitations currently facing mRNA cancer vaccine development, including delivery methods, stability issues, and the complexity of cancer biology that must be overcome for successful implementation. Gain insights into the future potential of mRNA cancer vaccines as both preventive measures for high-risk individuals and therapeutic interventions for existing cancer patients, and understand how this technology builds upon the success of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines to address one of medicine's greatest challenges.
