Aims—To investigate the expression of thymidine phosphorylase (TP), a known angiogenic factor for endothelial cells, in normally cycling endometrium and various forms of endometrial hyperplasia.
Methods—TP expression was assessed with the P-GF.44C monoclonal antibody, using the alkaline phosphatase anti-alkaline phosphatase method. Ninety two normal and hyperplastic endometria were studied.
Results—In normal proliferative endometrium, TP is found exclusively in the basal layer and the inner third of the functionalis; expression is cytoplasmic in glandular epithelium and nuclear in stromal cells. It is invariably patchy. This immunohistochemical picture remains almost unaltered during the early and mid secretory phase of the normal menstrual cycle but, most impressively, TP is expressed uniformly in the epithelium of all endometrial glands towards the end of the cycle. At this stage, expression is mixed nuclear/cytoplasmic and there is very little stromal nuclear staining. In simple endometrial hyperplasia, the staining pattern for TP is identical to normal proliferative endometrium, with a distribution that is usually limited to a few rather weakly proliferating glands and to the adjacent periglandular stroma of the deep endometrium. The distribution is more extensive in complex and atypical endometrial hyperplasias, where a mixed nuclear/cytoplasmic pattern usually prevails over the pure cytoplasmic reaction.
Conclusions—TP is expressed consistently in normal and hyperplastic endometrium, suggesting a role in physiological and pathological angiogenesis. In normal endometrium, TP has a definite pattern of distribution, which is dependent on the phase of the menstrual cycle, whereas in all forms of endometrial hyperplasia the enzyme is randomly distributed and lacks an orderly pattern.

Unlike other tissues and organs of the body, human endometrium undergoes cyclical changes, approximately each month, during the reproductive years.1 These endometrial changes, which are under the control of the ovarian hormones, constitute the menstrual cycle and include the regeneration and growth of the shed endometrium, its maturation and secretory transformation and, in the case of conceptual failure, disintegration and menstrual bleeding.
The high metabolic activity of the endometrium is ensured by a rich arterial supply. Indeed, an integral part of the menstrual cycle is the phenomenon of angiogenesis—the formation of new blood vessels from a pre-existing vascular network2 in the basalis. Angiogenesis is a complex multistep process involving extracellular matrix remodelling, endothelial cell proliferation and migration, capillary differentiation, and anastomosis.3,4 Factors promoting angiogenesis in the endometrium include basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF),5,6 transforming growth factor α (TGF-α)7 and TGF-β,8 vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF),9 and thymidine phosphorylase (TP), also known as platelet derived endothelial cell growth factor (PD-ECGF).4 This enzyme is specifically involved in the reversible dephosphorylation of thymidine to thymine and 2-deoxy-D-ribose-1-phosphate10 and is an angiogenic factor for endometrial carcinomas.11 The precise mechanism by which TP promotes angiogenesis is not known but the metabolic product 2-deoxy-D-ribose has been shown to stimulate endothelial cell migration.4,12 It is possible that 2-deoxy-D-ribose acts on endothelial cells through a cell surface receptor.12
TP is widely expressed in normal tissues, including the human endometrium.4,13 However, although the morphological and functional changes in the normal endometrium, together with the related fluctuating values of the ovarian hormones and their receptors, have been studied extensively,14–16 little is known about the immunohistochemical expression of angiogenic factors in this tissue during the various phases of a normal menstrual cycle.13 Equally obscure remains their status in relation to endometrial hyperplasias, these being common gynaecological disorders in every day practice.
Our study set out to investigate the cellular and tissue distribution of TP in the normally cycling endometrium and in simple, complex, and atypical endometrial hyperplasias.
Material and methods
Ninety two normal and hyperplastic endometria were studied. These comprised: 21 normal endometria of early (seven), mid (seven), and late (seven) proliferative phase; 21 normal endometria of early (seven), mid (seven), and late (seven) secretory phase; 20 simple hyperplasias, 15 complex hyperplasias, and 15 atypical hyperplasias. The specimens were retrieved from the files of the department of pathology, Democritus University of Thrace. They had been fixed in 10% formalin and processed to paraffin wax. Sections were cut at 5 μm thickness and stained with haematoxylin and eosin.
The histologically normal endometria were obtained from premenopausal women, age 32–44 years, who had undergone hysterectomy for non-endometrial disease, usually for uterine leiomyomas. In all cases, the date of the last menstrual period was available. None of the patients had received hormone treatment. The normal endometria had been "dated" on haematoxylin and eosin stained sections using the histological criteria of Noyes et al.14
The endometrial hyperplasias were derived from premenopausal and perimenopausal women, age 33 to 49 years, who had been subjected to hysterectomy for episodic bleeding, often heavy and prolonged. They were classified as suggested by Norris and colleagues17 and Buckley and Fox.16
TP expression was assessed with the P-GF.44C monoclonal antibody4 using the alkaline phosphatase anti-alkaline phosphatase (APAAP) method. In brief, sections were dewaxed and rehydrated sequentially in 100%, 95%, 80%, 70%, 50% ethanol and, finally, distilled water. The P-GF.44C monoclonal antibody (undiluted supernatant) was applied at room temperature for 30 minutes and washed in Tris buffered saline (TBS). Rabbit antimouse antibody (1/50; Dako, Glostrup, Denmark) was applied for 30 minutes, followed by mouse APAAP complex (1/1) for 30 minutes. After washing in TBS, the last two steps were repeated for 10 minutes each. The colour was developed by 15 minutes incubation with new Fuchsin solution. Normal mouse IgG was substituted for primary antibody as the negative control (same concentration as the test antibody). Stromal macrophages were used as a positive internal control.18
TP expression in normal and hyperplastic tissues was assessed by cellular distribution (nuclear or cytoplasmic) and staining intensity: negative (−), weak (±), or strong (+).
TP was found consistently in normal endometrium. In the early and mid proliferative phase of a normal menstrual cycle, TP was found exclusively in the basal endometrium: glands and periglandular stroma (fig 1A). Expression was cytoplasmic in the glandular epithelial cells and nuclear in the periglandular stromal cells. Interestingly, all of the cells in TP positive glands expressed the enzyme. Cytoplasmic staining was very weak, whereas nuclear staining was usually strong. It was characteristically patchy, involving < 30% of the basal endometrial glands and stroma. In the late proliferative phase endometrium, the reactivity of the epithelial cells extended towards the inner third of the functional layer.
This immunohistochemical picture remained, by and large, unchanged during the early and mid secretory phase; however, in the late secretory phase of the cycle, cytoplasmic TP was expressed uniformly by all epithelial cells in all endometrial glands throughout the endometrium (fig 1B). At this stage, the pattern of enzyme expression was mixed nuclear/cytoplasmic, and the reaction was strong, in contrast to the remaining phases of the menstrual cycle, where the intensity of staining was, in general, weak. Stromal cell reactivity was not a feature.
The pattern of staining was similar in simple endometrial hyperplasia to that seen in the normal proliferative phase endometrium (fig 1C). However, in simple hyperplasia cytoplasmic reactivity was much stronger and involved random, small groups of weakly proliferating glands of the deep endometrium, occupying an area of < 5% of the total. By contrast, nuclear staining of the periglandular stroma was weak and present even less frequently.
TP was also expressed in complex endometrial hyperplasias (fig 1D). Immunohistochemical staining was cytoplasmic (four of 15) or mixed nuclear/cytoplasmic (11 of 15), and varied in intensity within and between individual cases. Focal areas of stromal cells showed nuclear staining which was, in most cases, weak.
Atypical hyperplasias showed mixed nuclear/cytoplasmic staining (15 of 15), involving a variable number of "hyperplastic" glands (fig 1E), which were distributed randomly in the endometrium over an area not exceeding 25% of the uterine mucosa.
In many cases, there was some variation of immunostaining between individual epithelial cells within glands and also from one gland to another in any one specimen.
Interestingly, scattered phosphorylase laden macrophages were seen throughout the normal endometrium, without any apparent cycle dependent changes. Similar cells were also seen in the various forms of endometrial hyperplasia.
Endothelial and smooth muscle cells in the media of occasional blood vessels were positive for TP, with a frequency of approximately 10% (four of 42 normal endometria, five of 50 hyperplastic endometria), and TP was expressed with an almost equal frequency in scattered myometrial cells (six of 42 normal endometria, six of 50 hyperplastic endometria). No association between staining of blood vessels or myocytes and the phase of the menstrual cycle or the type of endometrial hyperplasia was noted.
We examined the expression of TP in the endometrium by an immunohistochemical technique, using a specific monoclonal antibody to thymidine phosphorylase.4 This monoclonal antibody detected platelet derived endothelial cell growth factor or TP (PD-ECGF/TP). We found that TP is invariably expressed in the normal endometrium and in the various forms of endometrial hyperplasia.
In normal endometrium, TP expression has a cyclical pattern, which mirrors the changing endometrial patterns of the menstrual cycle. Thus, at the beginning of the cycle, TP is found in the basal layer, where it forms patches of positively stained endometrial glands and stroma. Expression is weak/cytoplasmic in epithelium and strong/nuclear in stromal cells. Towards the end of the menstrual cycle, epithelial but not stromal expression is extended throughout the entire endometrium, involving all glands, and epithelial expression is strong and mixed nuclear/cytoplasmic.
Comparable menstrual cycle related changes have been reported recently by Zhang et al,13 who described a shift in TP expression from the endometrial stroma to the endometrial glands as the cycle advances. The intensity of the epithelial staining was greatest in the basalis adjacent to myometrium and diminished towards the endometrial surface. Fox et al,4 who studied TP expression in a series of normal tissues, including human endometrium, noted that the enzyme is found in both endometrial glands and periglandular stroma, and observed both cytoplasmic and nuclear staining. It is possible that such cyclical changes in TP expression are under the control of ovarian hormones.13
Interestingly, TP is not the only angiogenic factor whose concentrations vary during the course of the menstrual cycle: cyclical patterns of endometrial activity for VEGF have also been reported.9 VEGF was expressed in normal glandular epithelium and, to a lesser extent, in stromal cells throughout the cycle; its activity was highest at the beginning (menstrual and early proliferative phase) and towards the end of the menstrual cycle (late secretory phase).
TP is, of course, an angiogenic factor and as such promotes the formation of new blood vessels from a pre-existing network of capillaries.12,19 The new blood vessels, which are most important for the regeneration and growth of the shed endometrium, arise from the straight arteries in the boundary region between myometrium and basal layer. At this part of the uterine mucosa, coordinated nuclear and cytoplasmic TP activity, regulated by stromal and epithelial cells, respectively, seems to be needed for the formation of new spiral arteries. This is consistent with the finding that TP expression, and apparently that of the endometrial stroma, is maximal in areas of poor perfusion and necrosis, where hypoxia prevails;20 that is, in the endometrium after menstruation. Later in the course of the menstrual cycle and, specifically during the late secretory phase, maturation of the muscular coat occurs,16 which is also dependent on combined nuclear/cytoplasmic secretion of thymidine phosphorylase, this being produced mainly, if not exclusively, by the glandular epithelium. It has been suggested that in the nucleus TP might regulate thymidine concentrations for DNA synthesis, whereas in the cytoplasm it might control other effects via different enzyme systems, such as thymidylate synthase and ribonucleotide reductase.4 Whether cytoplasmic or nuclear, the enzyme is located intracellularly, whereas its effects are extracellular—on the nearby capillary endothelium; therefore, the angiogenic stimulus must be mediated by a paracrine pathway.
It is notable that the cytoplasmic expression of TP is not associated with an intense proliferative activity, because it is usually seen in the weakly proliferating glands of the basal endometrium and in those of the late secretory phase. This is equally true for all forms of endometrial hyperplasia where TP expression was not more prominent than in normally cycling late proliferative endometrium and, certainly, was less conspicuous than in late secretory endometrium. Indeed, TP expression was focal and of limited extent in all forms of endometrial hyperplasia, usually being linked with the less intensively proliferating endometrial glands. This is in contrast to other tissues of the body where the hyperplastic process is constantly associated with higher TP activity.19 Perhaps hyperplastic endometrial tissues are more sensitive to TP enzymatic activity, or other angiogenic factor(s), such as VEGF, are equally important for the formation of new blood vessels in endometrial hyperplasias.
We did not investigate microvessel density in our study; however, in the light of the report of Morgan et al,21 it appears that normal secretory phase endometrium is more vascular than normal proliferative endometrium. This finding is in accordance with our observation that epithelial/cytoplasmic TP expression increases from proliferative to secretory phase endometrium. The fact that stromal/nuclear TP expression prevails in the basalis of the early proliferative endometrium suggests that this type of enzymatic activity is important in the induction of neo-angiogenesis, at least in normal endometrium. In this context, it appears that stromal TP positivity is oestrogen, rather than cycle (time), related because it is not only seen in the normal proliferative endometrium, but also in all forms of endometrial hyperplasia, although to a lesser extent. The high microvessel density recorded in hyperplastic endometria in the study of Morgan and colleagues21 contrasts with the limited expression of TP found in similar tissues in our study. This discrepancy might be explained by the aforementioned assumptions of an increased sensitivity of hyperplastic tissues to thymidine phosphorylase and/or the concomitant action of other, possibly more potent, angiogenic factor(s).
Stromal macrophages, which are scattered in the endometrial layers, express TP throughout the menstrual cycle, but this enzymatic activity was not found to be cycle related.4,13 Such TP laden macrophages, which are recruited not only in the normal endometrium, but also in wound healing, the inflammatory response, and in several tumours,12,18,22 were thought to play an important role in the regulation of angiogenesis.10,23 If this is true, enzyme production might not simply be regulated by ovarian hormones, but might also be regulated by cytokines released at high concentrations by endometrial macrophages.4,13 Other factors may be equally important. Thus, the treatment of normal glandular epithelial cells with physiological concentrations of progesterone or transforming growth factor β1 alone did not have an effect on TP expression, but the combined delivery of both at the same dose induced a 48-fold increase in expression.13 Furthermore, the combination of tumour necrosis factor α and interferon γ was reported to induce an even greater expression (205-fold) of the enzyme.13
In summary, the expression of TP in the normal endometrium has well defined cellular and tissue patterns that are dependent on the phase of the menstrual cycle. TP is also expressed in all forms of endometrial hyperplasia, where it has a random distribution, lacking an orderly pattern. We conclude that the consistent expression of TP in the endometrium is suggestive of a role in physiological and pathological angiogenesis.

"Most people don't know there's a whole box of Easter eggs with every Tesla. Just tap logo on center screen & wait. Easy access to most of discovered ones. More coming …," wrote Musk few hours ago on his Twitter account and shared this video.
pic.twitter.com/UWJK1LwgKf— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) April 4, 2018
What do you make of it? He recently was putting so many different on Twitter, that it is difficult to differentiate the serious stuff from jokes. Like his April 1st prank turned out to real regarding the Teslaquila, a Tequila beverage by Tesla that Musk today confirmed, writing "it's on."
I asked Alex Guberman from E for Electric Youtube Channel to comment on Tesla's Easter Eggs.
"Yeah, those have been there for a long time now. For example, the Christmas dance that the Model X does is one of the Easter eggs," said Guberman. Musk is teasing something new here. "Most of the time it is something stupid and useless, but some people absolutely love those," added Guberman.
As you can see in the Twitter video above, if you want to access the Easter Eggs, simply tap on the console, pick their feature, and enjoy. While there aren't a ton of details available about what each egg does, there are a few things one could guess. For example, there's a cowbell labeled "MORE COWBELL" -- a reference to a Saturday Night Live comedy sketch from 2000 which starred Christopher Walken.
This seems fun, but the drivers really need to keep their eyes and attention on the road. I don't think it's a good idea to have these types of "Easter Eggs" for the car drivers. To me, they are just distractions. What about you?
Its a distraction because you
Its a distraction because you dont have the sense of humour and useless.
I am not the only one saying
I am not the only one saying it's distraction. It's been covered int he media as well. Regarding my sense of humor, what do you know about me to say that?

Fells Point
Settled in 1730 by William Fell, an English Quaker and ship's carpenter, Fell's Point was one of three original towns that formed present-day Baltimore. With a deep water port, Fells Point quickly grew as a center for building and repair of Clipper ships. Officially founded in 1763, Fell's Point boasts over 161 buildings on the National Register of Historic Places, including the oldest standing residence in Baltimore City, Robert Long House built in 1765. During that time, blacks lived in smaller homes behind Fell's Point cobblestone streets because it was still against the state law for whites and blacks to live on the same street.
London Coffee House at Bond & Thames Streets is believed to be the only existing Pre-Revolutionary War coffee grinding & distribution house in America. Fells Point is revered for its maritime history and marketplace. In 1775, Fell's Point Ship Yard produced the first frigate of the Continental Navy, Virginia. In 1784, Broadway Market was established to serve the immigrants and sailors of Fells Point. In 1787, George Wells Houses at Bond & Thames Street opened — it stands today. In 1797, Fell's Point Ship Yard built the U.S.S. Constellation warship, which protected our shores and later captured slave ships to free human cargo. Fells Point was absorbed by the City of Baltimore in 1973.
From 1836-38, Frederick Douglass worked as a slave in Fell's Point shipyard. With borrowed documents from a sailor, Douglass escaped slavery using the Underground Railroad and headed to New York State in 1838. In 1892, three years before his death, Douglass purchased Fell's Point land in the 500 block of South Dallas Street to build five homes that he rented to African-American workers at the shipyard. Dallas Street was also home to Strawberry Alley Methodist Church where Frederick Douglass worshipped.
Though Maryland was still a slave state, Isaac Myers (1835-1891) was a free black man and Baltimore had the largest population of free blacks of any city in the nation. The maritime industry in Fell's Point was one of the few areas where blacks worked alongside whites before and after the Civil War. In 1851, Myers worked as a Fell's Point caulker, sealing seams in ships. By 1855, he was a supervisor for caulking many of the largest ships sailing into Baltimore. In 1860, Myers left caulking to work in a grocery store. Returning to the area in 1865 with an understanding of finance and commerce, Myers set up a cooperative grocery in 1864. That business was short-lived, so he returned to ship caulking in 1865. After the Civil War ended in April 1865, the job market became tight. White workers kicked black ship workers out of the labor union.
To provide themselves employment, Myers and respected members of Bethel and Sharp Street AME churches proposed that black workers pool resources to form a cooperative shipyard and railway, the Chesapeake Marine Railway and Dry Dock Company in Fell's Point. Opening in 1866, the co-operative was a great success, employing over 300 black workers who did great work at a lower price than white-owned dry dock & maritime railway companies. Myers and others established the Colored Caulkers Trade Union in 1868, to which he was elected President. He was succeeded as Union president by Frederick Douglass in 1872. Later, Myers employed a number of white ship workers too. Maritime technology changes and manipulation of land rights law by jealous white dry dock companies forced Chesapeake Marine Railway and Dry Dock Company to close in 1884.
In 1914, City Pier for recreation opened in Fells Point, initiating non-commercial use of the port. More taverns and restaurants opened thereafter, expanding the city's love affair with the district. Gradually, shipbuilding and repair moved to the eastern outskirts of the city. Freight train tracks to Fell's Point were removed, though streetcar tracks remained until the early 1960s. Due to its interracial history, Fell's Point has always felt more welcoming to all walks of life in the city.
Over 1956-59, City Hall, envious of federal funds for Interstate Highways like many other cities, planned to extend Jones Fall Expressway over the Inner Harbor and through Federal Hill to connect with I-95 Freeway. After fierce protests, citizens forced politicians to kill that route. But City Hall remained determined to build Interstate Highways to and through the city. In 1960, City Hall announced plans to extend Jones Fall Expressway above ground along Little Italy, through Fell's Point and Canton waterfronts. If built, the freeway would have quarantined the Inner Harbor, making it less attractive for redevelopment. Furious residents fought back with every political and legal means at their disposal. In 1969, Fell's Point was designated Maryland's first National Historic District. In response, City Hall focused on reimagining the Inner Harbor and on building I-95 Freeway and West Baltimore Freeway.
Fortunately, in 1978, City Hall abandoned the extension of the Jones Falls Expressway. A public housing project was demolished for private housing development adjacent to Little Italy. Artists, small business owners and professionals gravitated to Little Italy and Fell's Point, as the Inner Harbor developed into a national attraction. As late as 1990, the land triangulated between Fell's Point, Little Italy, and the Inner Harbor consisted of derelict wharf land. It's now known as Harbor East. The Canton waterfront wasn't much better. City Hall cleared off derelict wharves, introduced tax incentives to develop Harbor East into a major office center, and redeveloped Canton Waterfront as park space, restaurants, and small offices. Public and private measures were taken to preserve traditional restaurants in Little Italy, Fell's Point, and Canton.
The 1992-2001 TV series Homicide was set in Fell's Point in City Pier and the Waterfront Hotel Restaurant. A number of scenes in The Wire TV series (2002-08) were also filmed in Fell's Point, Harbor East, and Inner Harbor. Both series raised Fell's Point and Inner Harbor tourism profiles but over-amplified Baltimore's image for crime and government corruption. Nevertheless, skyscrapers, business hotels, a marina, Johns Hopkins Business School, seafood restaurants, pizzerias, sushi bars, cafes, taverns, nightclubs, coffeehouses, galleries, boutiques, brewpubs, innkeepers and maritime parks sprung across the landscape in a cohesive way. Little Italy, Harbor East, Fell's Point, and Canton feel like an organic urban waterfront, despite a variety of old and new architecture.
Amidst the waterfront development surrounding it, Fell's Point is blessed with the Frederick Douglass-Isaac Myers Maritime Park & Museum. The park & museum showcases an outstanding Frederick Douglass bust, historic ship artifacts, and shipbuilding techniques of the 1880s. In 2017, the Sagamore Pendry luxury hotel opened on City Pier. It was reimagined with a collection of features that other urban hotels only dream about.
The Pendry has a historic cobblestone street in front, a restored 1914 Beaux Arts brick facade with a glass chophouse at the entrance, exposed structural beams over a lengthy central atrium garden with a museum-quality sculpture, upscale port view suites on each side, plus an infinity pool with panoramic views of the historic Domino Sugar building and passing vessels through the harbor. Visit for cocktails and a walk-through, but only guests are permitted in the Infinity Pool. Frederick Douglass would have loved to be a guest.
Despite all the activity surrounding it, Broadway Market has been the heartbeat of Fell's Point since 1784. Something feels missing until its reconstruction completes and all the deli, bakery, seafood, meat and produce merchants return. Though the Broadway Market North reopened in early 2019, Broadway Market South, closest to Thames Street, reopens around July 2019. Fingers crossed, that will be a happy day for residents and visitors alike.

Thai Cuisine derives its culinary traits from spices and herbs blended together smoothly forging its distinguished delicious taste. It is known for its intricate artful displays of food that pays close attention to detail, texture, color and flavor. Important to Thai food preparation is the practice of khluk, mixing the flavors and textures of different dishes with cuisine staples such as rice. An example of this is the infamous desert known as Mango Sticky rice, mixed with coconut milk making it a deliciously refreshing treat. Our chefs prepare a light Coconut Red Curry using lemon grass and snap peas for an extra twist.
Most Thai dishes are the perfect blend of four seasonings, mixing salty, sweet, spicy and sour. An example of this is Pad Thai, made up of rice noodles, chicken, shrimp, tofu, cilantro, bean sprouts and peanuts that are topped with sweet fish sauce and a drizzle of chili powder. At CCi we lcreate authentic tasting dishes for our seasonal menus, only using the best quality presented with creativity and flair for you to enjoy every bite.

What a difference a year makes. The New Jersey Devils were downright resolute in their first game of 2017. They also displayed resolve, playing without alternate captain Travis Zajac. However, this game also saw the return of Taylor Hall to the lineup.
Their 3-0 victory over the Boston Bruins was about as complete as one could possibly want. Save for their 0-for-6 power play, the Devils were fully engaged and started the new year off on the right foot, or skate, if you will.

Speaking of first skates or steps, the victory gives the Devils a baby step out of the Metropolitan Division basement, jumping the idle New York Islanders in the standings with 37 points.
First Period
New Jersey jumped on the board during the opening frame. PA Parenteau notched his team-leading 11th tally of the season, beating Tuukka Rask at the 4:12 mark. The Devils right wing was set up by Hall and rookie defenseman Steven Santini, who recorded his first NHL point. Parenteau's marker was his fifth in the past eight games.
The Devils were also fired up and flying around the ice, like former Boston College Eagles forward Miles Wood. Wood delivered a solid check on Bruins defenseman Kevin Miller and was then asked to "dance" by Colin Miller. Following the scrap, Wood raised his arms in the air and riled up the Prudential Center faithful.
In the waning seconds of the frame, Cory Schneider preserved the Devils' lead by using every inch of the red line to keep Brad Marchand and the B's off the board.

Second Period
The second stanza was mostly uneventful for the 15,141 on hand in Newark. New Jersey out-shot Boston 7-5 during the period.

I have always wanted to make a 50s / 60s inspired shadow box wall shelf to display various items I have collected from my travels. I decided to add some more complexity to the frame by using a spline joint, which adds strength but also gives it some visual appeal. I have used local hardwoods for the project, Jarrah for the frame and Sheoak for the splines to add some contrast. Each of the larger squares are 300mm in length and width.
Step 1: Cut the Frame Mitres
The closest Jarrah stock size I could find to the dimensions I wanted was 60mm x 19mm. I felt the thickness was too heavy for this type of design so I reduced it to 12mm using a thicknesser machine. I then sanded the jarrah boards using an orbital sander with 120, 240 and 360 grits to a fine finish. The reason for sanding prior to any cutting is so that you don't inadvertently round the edges of your joints with a sander after they are cut. This will result in a less than perfect joint once assembled. Next step is to cut the 45 degrees mitre joints, there is a number of machines you could use to do this including a compound mitre saw or radial arm saw, I chose the table saw. I set the blade tilt to a 45⁰ angle, cut the first mitre and then moved the material up to an offset rip fence before flipping it over and cutting the second mitre. This process ensures that each of the eight pieces are exactly the same in length. Make sure your rip fence is set behind the blade, otherwise the material can jam between the rip fence and the blade causing a safety issue.
Step 2: Cut a Pair of Matching Grooves in the Mitred Faces
This is the tricky bit, the grooves have to match perfectly and must also be of a suitable position and depth. A good rule of thumb is not to extend the groove through more than half the thickness of the workpiece. Note: I cut a few practice joints on some scrap material before attempting with my actual lengths. I decided again to use the table saw set to a 45⁰ angle at the required depth. The only issue I had was the blade on the table saw only tilts in one direction, forcing me to cut the grooves on the other side of the mitre fence. My solution was to setup a sacrificial mitre fence using some MDF, clamped to the mitre fence. This in conjunction with the rip fence allowed me to cut perfect matching grooves on all 16 mitred faces.
Step 3: Cut the Cross-halving Joints
The next step is to measure, mark-out and cut the cross halving joints. Again I used the table saw with a sacrificial mitre fence and rip fence offset to correct length.
Step 4: Make a Spline That Fits the Grooves and Connects the Two Halves of the Join
When I researched this type of join, it is recommended to use crossgrain for your splines. This is so the spline doesn't split along the grain and come apart. I decided against doing this for a couple of reasons;
1. The finished shelf will have very little load and unlikely to come apart
2. It is very difficult to cut small pieces of wood crossgrain
3. The she-oak material has a very nice end grain pattern.
I ended up milling some slivers of She-oak to the required dimensions - the spline is only as wide as the kerf of your saw blade (approx 3mm). The splines can have a little bit of movement in the grooves, the glue will tighten up the fit. I actually made the splines a bit too snug and ended up sanding them down by hand on a sanding board.
Step 5: Glue Frame and Splined Mitres Together
I used strap clamps and PVA wood glue to assemble the boxes. Always dry-clamp your work first to check for squareness and fit. I kept the splines slightly larger in length so they can be sanded flush once dry. Rub glue over all internal spaces of grooves, mitred faces and spline faces. Check for squareness by measuring internal diagonals.
Step 6: Finishing
The next step was to remove excess glue with a sharp chisel and sand protruding splines flush with a sanding board. I had the opportunity to put the squares through a drum sanding machine, which sped up the sanding time considerably. All other surfaces were sanded prior to assembling the two boxes together via the cross halving joint. I used a wax filler stick to fill in any small imperfections in the visible spline joints. Finally a number of coats of Spray Lacquer, sanding back between coats by hand with a worn piece of sandpaper. Once I was happy with the lacquer coat, I applied a finishing wax with steel wool to give the wood a low gloss lustre.
Step 7: Making Keyhole Hanger Plates and Mounting to Wall
This is the step which I had initially given the least amount of thought to when I started this project, but ended up being the biggest headache! I wanted the shadow box to be mounted flush on a wall and planned on using keyhole hanger plates. However, because I had reduced the thickness of the material, it was now too thin to accommodate any keyhole plate I could find. I ended up making the keyhole plates to match from some brass plate. I cut the brass sheet to size using a guillotine, then used a slot milling cutter on the milling machine to cut the slot and drill the hole for the screw to fit in. Some final finishing with needle files and wet & dry sandpaper. Mounting the plates onto the frame involved some careful l marking out, drilling and chiselling. I am aware there are keyhole router bits you can use for this purpose, but didn't want to risk screwing up the entire project if I got it wrong. Lastly, I drilled wall plugs into the wall to position box, decorated it with ornaments, finished!

The year 2020 was the year of COVID-19 and unpredictability in the global landscape. We saw a major shift from the consumption of services to the consumption of goods as a result of shelter-in-place orders around the globe and this was reflected within the global supply chain and freight markets.
The start of the year we saw U.S. importers adjusting to the 25% Section 301 tariffs that affected approximately 250 billion dollars' worth of Chinese goods. These tariffs went into effect in March of 2018 and the import community had been trying to adapt to the new costs ever since – would importers absorb these costs or pass them along to the end buyers? In either case, we learned quickly that the impact of the tariffs would definitely squeeze margins. As a result, we saw supply chains try to shift production to Southeast Asia, the Indian subcontinent, and other parts of the world in order to get away from a single-source model out of China. But we also learned that it will take many years for a sustainable shift in production to happen, if at all.
When February hit we saw the 6-week shutdown of China which basically brought about the lowest level of imports into the United States. With virtually nothing being produced and shipped, the steamship companies were faced with the challenge of how to control the capacity and sailings into the U.S. Fortunately, the carriers were able to successfully control the supply by cancelling sailings and working within their respective alliances (Ocean Alliance, The Alliance, 2M) by sharing vessels and scaling down capacity. This was an unprecedented period, as traditionally rates would plummet during a lack of demand. This did not happen in 2020 and in fact, just the opposite took place. As the country reopened, the steamship lines skillfully controlled capacity and until the availability of space eventually became an issue. The spot market started to increase and we saw rates three to four times the contracted and fixed rates negotiated at contract season.
This trend continued going into Q3 and Q4, compounded by a huge demand in PPE goods, seasonal items, and inventory replenishment into the U.S. The record surge of imports into the country led to delays at the ports and trucker availability that is continuing as we finish off the year. Due to the large trade imbalance that exists, a lack of equipment in China is now an additional obstacle to overcome.
All of these factors in 2020 resulted in record profits for the majority of the carriers and a new discipline of capacity management that will be carried into 2021. We can already see a tight Q1 and, depending on what type of stimulus package is passed and how consumer and business confidence grows, a just as challenging year overall. Fortunately, NFI has boots on the ground in Asia and the flexibility of providing full end-to-end solutions through all of our lines of business. We are ready to take on 2021.

LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Organizers of a longshot campaign to recall Gov. Rick Snyder from office for his handling of Flint's water crisis are starting to collect signatures.
Once the petition drive starts Sunday, the groups will have 60 days to gather about 790,000 valid voter signatures. That's far more signatures and a shorter time window than is allotted for ballot initiatives.
Opponents of the Republican governor say he "failed" residents who drank lead-contaminated water and therefore should be removed. Snyder has said recall efforts against him are "part of the democratic process" and he is focused on responding to the crisis.

Customer Reviews
So happy to have this! I can't wait to use it at the beach. Hate using towels because they get wet and Sandy. This will be perfect to use at the beach and just shake the sand off for easy clean up. Love how it is so small and packaged great to put in bag or keep in car to have for trips.
I'm so impressed with the quality and strength of this blanket. It is so compact I can easily carry in my purse. I used it unexpectedly yesterday. I had gone to see a concert and all the tables and chairs were taken. I remembered that I had put this in my purse, and was able to whip it out and share it with my friend. It saved the day for us, and prevented our clothes from being dampened from the grass. Whilst using it I thought of many other uses for this, I could use as a cape or a cover over my head if caught in the rain. I could cover my car seat on super hot days. I can cover my valuables and shopping in the car.

STATS, the new Elton John and Phoebe Waller-Bridge-loved project, is the brainchild of Ed Seed who is also the touring guitarist with Dua Lipa and La Roux, is out with their new single 'Naturalise Me'. The London-based group releases the new single alongside announcing details of their second record 'Powys 1999′ which is out via Memphis Industries on November 12.
The first Stats record was tipped by NME (2019's Album of the Year list), The Line of Best Fit, BBC 6 Music, Sunday Times, PopMatters, and more with the album being recorded over the space of two days whilst Seed was on a break from touring duties with Dua Lipa. The return to the fray with Stats comes with 'Naturalise Me', a resounding disco-funk jam that finds comparisons in my mind to the sounds of LCD Soundsystem, Confidence Man, etc, with its boisterous synths, rigorous percussion, and cosmic disco-pop aesthetic.
This new record finds its name in the location it was recorded: Powys, Wales, which is close to where Seed grew up as a child. Thematically the new record and this first single, 'Naturalise Me', get to grips with Seed's childhood but not necessarily in a saccharine or overly-nostalgic manner, it draws on memories, but it also draws on the growing pains of being brought up in rural Wales as very much an outsider. Similarly, it looks at the socio-political discourse as to why his parents decided to relocate from Manchester to the countryside. Interestingly, Seed tackles a lot of conflicting ideas on this new record, namely the natural world vs the unnatural world, the countryside versus the city, and our perceptions of what's seen as real and on the contrary, what's seen as fake – he disperses these ideas into his music, dressing his curious observations in the guise of glittering electro-pop.

How to Spend an Hour with Jesus
If the thought of spending an hour in silent adoration is a little intimidating to you, you're in good company with many people when they first start going to Eucharistic Adoration.If you have a really good friend, or if you are married, then you know what it takes to be in a relationship with someone. Two of the most important things you can do to deepen your friendship is to spend time together, and to talk with each other frequently.
The best friend and the love of our souls is Jesus Christ. Yet many of us suffer from a feeling that we don't really know who Jesus is, or we don't feel like we have a personal relationship with Him. Jesus is more like a figure from a history book to us, or some mysterious God-man who we know we have obligations to, yet we don't really feel anything in our hearts towards Him.
Adoration: The Answer to Deepening our Relationship With Christ
The solution to this personal struggle is to deepen your relationship with Jesus. Just as you would with any human friend or your spouse, you have to make a decided effort to get to know Him better. You have to spend time with Him, and speak with Him often. In other words, you need to spend time in prayer.
Eucharistic Adoration is the best way we have on this earth to spend a long time in quiet conversation with Jesus. You'll recall that just before Jesus physically left the apostles and ascended to the Father, he reassured them, "And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age." (Matthew 28:20) This statement is fulfilled in the reality of Jesus' Real Presence in the Eucharist, in the hands of the priest at Mass each day, reserved in the tabernacles in the heart of our churches, and right before our very eyes in Eucharistic Adoration.
"Feel the Love" in Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament
What sets Eucharistic Adoration apart from other forms of prayer is that we are able to be in the same room with Him present in the Blessed Sacrament, the Eucharist. Though veiled under the appearance of bread, in reality we are gazing on His Sacred Heart, and the love that radiates from the little white host in the monstrance (the beautiful stand which holds the host behind glass for the adorer to see) is transforming. Sitting or kneeling in the presence of Jesus in this way could be called "Son-bathing." Like the rays of sunshine that warm our skin, the rays of His love touch our souls and provide healing, reassurance, comfort, strength… whatever it is we need in this life to help us live according to God's will so we can one day live with Him forever in Heaven.
Get More Out of Mass – Adore the Blessed Sacrament Outside of Mass!
The ultimate highlight of our life as Catholics is when we receive the Eucharist at Mass. It is at that moment when we are most intimately in communion with God, experiencing a taste of Heaven, a foreshadowing of what it will be like when by God's grace we one day enter into the life that never ends with the Holy Trinity. But is your experience at Mass a little chilly? Does it leave you with something to be desired? Are distractions getting between you and a true experience of communion?
St. Augustine said, "No one partakes of this Flesh before he has adored it." The experience of receiving Communion is so brief. To make the most of that fleeting moment, prepare yourself to receive Him by spending time in Adoration. Adoring the Blessed Sacrament heightens our senses to perceive the Real Presence, the Real Jesus. After receiving Him at Mass, spend time in prayer in His Presence, reflecting on the gift you have received, asking Him to transform your life through the power of the Eucharist. He is waiting for you in the tabernacle, or in the monstrance in Perpetual Adoration chapels or at special times of Eucharistic Adoration.
Everyone's Welcome at Eucharistic Adoration
For a non-Catholic who is attracted to the majesty and tradition of the Catholic Church, it is a form of suffering to not be able to receive Communion. Eucharistic Adoration can provide a great source of consolation if you are discerning about or are in the process of converting to Catholicism. In Eucharistic Adoration you can find a quiet and sacred place to pray. And though you are unable to receive the Eucharist , you can make a spiritual communion to unite yourself with our Eucharistic Lord. This is especially meaningful when you are praying in His Real Presence in Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.
The Eucharist Changes Hearts
As Pope emeritus Benedict XVI wrote:
The adoration of the Lord in the sacrament is also an education in sensitizing our conscience. 'Christ comes into the hearts of our brothers and sisters and visits their consciences.' When the conscience becomes dulled, this lets in the violence that lays waste the world. Anyone who gazes upon the face of the Lord, which the servants of the Sanhedrin and Pilate's servants have spat upon, which they have slapped and covered with spittle, will see in his face the mirror of our violence, a reflection of what sin is, and their conscience will be purified in the way that is the precondition for every social reform, for every improvement in human affairs. For the reform of human relationships rests in the first place on a reinforcement of moral strength (God is Near Us: The Eucharist, the Heart of Life, p. 98).
All you have to do is turn on the news to discover why prayer before Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament is so desperately needed. Pope John Paul II said in a Eucharistic Congress in 1993, "the … surest and the most effective way of establishing peace on the face of the earth is through the great power of Perpetual Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament." Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta said, "If people spent an hour a week in Eucharistic adoration, abortion would be ended." The power of the Eucharist to change hearts is documented around the world in places where the Eucharist is adored.
Whatever reason brings you into the Real Presence of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, rest assured that Jesus does want to meet you there. Have you ever been "asked out" on such an important date as the one you are called to by the Sacred Heart of Jesus?

Council staff, volunteers and community partners in the London Borough of Merton have stood down their current enhanced testing programme for the South African variant of Covid-19, after delivering tests to more than 10,000 residents in less than two weeks.
Based at the New Horizon Centre, the council worked with dozens of community volunteers and staff to deliver the tests despite experiencing sub-zero temperatures and just 48 hours notice to launch the programme.
Staff and volunteers walked through the frozen conditions to reach around 5,000 homes across the ward, while others got their tests at the NHS Test and Trace Mobile Testing Unity stationed in the Pollards Hill Library car park, or used a volunteer-led drop-off and pick up facility based in the New Horizon Centre and operating seven days a week.
To date, there have been no additional cases of the South African variant of the virus discovered, although the test analysis can take up to 14 days from the date of the test. The council will be writing to residents again once it receives an update from the NHS, but is advising people to stay alert for test results.
Council Leader Mark Allison and Naomi Martin, Director of the Commonside Trust, the local charity managing the New Horizon Centre on Pollards, both paid tribute to the way the local community has responded.
Cllr Allison said: "First and foremost, Merton Council is in incredibly grateful for the amazing response shown by the community, our volunteers and our staff.
"From the tireless commitment of Commonside Trust's team members, from the dozens of local residents who stepped forward to volunteer to go door to door, and from the council staff who volunteered to put aside their day jobs – all of them during lockdown, in often freezing conditions, for jobs they didn't have to volunteer to do. They have done Pollards Hill proud.
"Mostly, I want to thank residents for trusting us, and for helping keep the community safe. While we've had no cases of the variant to date, the fact is that achieving these 10,000 tests will help to find an isolate any cases and stop and potential spread.
"As yet, we've had no positive results – but we must ask people to wait for the official NHS results, and we will be updating people as soon as we can."
Naomi Martin, Director of the Commonside Trust at the New Horizon Centre, added: "We have all worked hard to ensure that, in providing the physical base for the operation, we kept the Centre clean and safe throughout for the enhanced support teams using it.
"We are very pleased to have worked so well with our good partners at Merton Council for this vital work. Their logistical response has been second to none.
"I hope that people living and working in the Pollards Hill area are reassured as result of the enhanced testing services provided and that the operation will succeed in bringing right down the risks of the spread of the South African variant. We will continue to promote all public health messages and encourage all members of the community to stay safe and protect their loved ones."
- The recent Enhanced Testing programme in Merton is now closed. The MTU and New Horizons Centre have shut down and no further testing will be carried out tomorrow.
- Mark Allison and Naomi Martin are available for interview via Merton Council. Contact Matt Burrows on 07825 431763.
- Results are via the NHS and take up to 14 days to process

WINNIPEG - Two cases of rare swine flu variants have been found in people in southern Manitoba.
AH1N1 AND AH1N2 were discovered earlier in April and they're separate strains in different communities.
Dr. Brent Roussin, the province's chief public health officer, says both cases had direct or indirect contact with pigs.
He adds there's no increased risk and pork is safe to eat.

The Four "I ….. You" statements that can change your life
What are the most rewarding aspects of your life?
I bet this is near the top of your list: Personal relationships.
It is hard to imagine a very rich life without people to:
- share in our triumphs,
- console us in defeat,
- collaborate with us on projects,
- enjoy our adventures with or
- just muddle along beside us during our daily grind.
Like many of the most worthwhile parts of life, personal relationships are hard work. An important part of that work is communication. Communication, especially when emotions are involved, can be messy.
The following four "I ….. You" statements can help add words to feelings that can be difficult to express. They are some of the most powerful and frequently the most difficult to verbalize.
The first is a common courtesy often overlooked, maybe even taken for granted, with those we are closest to.
The second is hard to say because it means we are admitting to a flaw.
The third can be difficult because it's in our nature to fight back when we have been hurt.
The last is tough because it is often only reserved for the most precious of personal relationships.
Here are the four "I ….. You" statements that can change your life.
I Thank you.
Sometimes these words can be trivialized. Expressing sincere gratitude for the act of another is an affirmation that shows appreciation and respect for their actions and deeds.
These simple words have a myriad of applications in everyday life. Being thankful for the acts, presence, kindness, gifts, big and small joys others give us is a major two-way thoroughfare. Those words inspire the giver of the "I thank you!" as much as they encourage the recipient. Try it on something you have been taking for granted and see how it works out for you.
I Am Sorry I Hurt You.
What feels worse than hurting someone? I am sure nearly all of us would agree that we would rather hurt ourselves than hurt someone else. Then why do we do it so often? I could use help here, but, maybe it's because we only know our own experience and when we communicate to others from our experience we are bound to "get things wrong". Those things we get wrong are what can hurt others. I would argue we almost never intend to hurt anyone – it just happens because we are human and as much as we try, we aren't able to completely see through someone else's eyes.
Recognizing you hurt someone, even when you didn't intend to or even when you don't understand why, is an important step in accepting others and affirming they are individuals with feelings and thoughts different from yours.
I Am Sorry I Hurt You is subtly, but importantly, different than I Am Sorry. The former takes responsibility for causing the hurt. The latter simply expresses remorse that they were hurt. If someone feels hurt by you, acknowledging you were the source and apologizing is a big step toward healing the hurt and mending the relationship.
I Forgive You
How difficult is it to say "I Forgive You" after somebody has hurt you? In my experience it can be pretty difficult. It just seems easier to place blame and try to figure out why they "wanted" to hurt me. And, shamefully, maybe I even thought of ways to get back at them for "wanting" to hurt me. But when I step back and apply my belief that hurting others is rarely somebody's objective, I can begin a journey to unravel the misunderstanding that created the hurt.
Is this your experience too? What tips do you have to help unravel the misunderstanding and begin your "I Forgive You" Journey?
I Love You.
Last but, obviously, not least.
Love is a powerful word which is why it should not be used sparingly. I enjoy the way Stephen Covey (The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People®) expressed this. In his teaching he reminded us love is a verb that needs to be actioned but is frequently viewed first as a feeling. "Love the verb is what proceeds love the emotion" he proclaimed. Without love the verb, there cannot be love the emotion. In whatever role you are playing, expressing love the verb to those around you is the highest form of honoring them as individuals. Heck, who doesn't want to be loved?
For those of you who may be uncomfortable with the term love in your work setting maybe Covey's teaching can help us. Love the emotion can be reserved for your closest relationships while love the verb fits for everyone we interact with. Love in this way, is the act of putting others first.
Please, don't hesitate to add your thoughts or even disagree with my Four "I … You"s. I'll thank you ahead of time… forgive you for pointing out my foibles… apologize if I don't respond appropriately and… love you for making this discussion a dialogue rather than a monologue.

I threw the un-cut birthday cake in the garbage. My aunt asked if I was going to drop it by his house. "No, he doesn't deserve it." Once again, he hadn't shown up. Another meal, another missed opportunity.
I have often wondered why God chose him for me. Our daddy/daughter relationship seemed to never take root. I envied my friends who had a "real" dad in their lives. Those things dads do for their daughters- make them feel loved, cherished, and beautiful were gifts I never received. I arrived in adulthood with "baggage" that needed unpacking.
There comes a time when we become so weary of carrying the load. How do you love and honor a father that lived a less than honorable life? How do you forgive him for withholding the emotional gifts a girl desperately needs? The first thing you do is make a choice…
When we have been hurt, there is no such thing as forgiving and forgetting. God doesn't perform a lobotomy.
Every moment, every day.
I began to pray and ask God to help me see dad's positive qualities.
I wrote him a letter and…never mailed it. Pouring out my heart with pen and paper was therapeutic for me. Do you need to write a letter? Maybe you will mail it and maybe you won't. Let the Holy Spirit lead you.
I protected my heart from future hurt. Through biblical counseling, I learned to honor from a distance. It wasn't necessary to plan a celebration for his birthday; I could send a card and give him a call.
I decided to accept dad for who he was. It is freeing to expect nothing. Therefore, what he was able to offer, I enjoyed.
My dad restored his relationship with God and me before he died. During the last few years of his life, we spent many hours together as he struggled with addiction and poor health. God used some of those times together to give me some of the things I had longed for.
I hope I have inherited some things from my dad. His easy going disposition and acceptance of others are wonderful traits and I gladly tell others, "I take that after my dad."
May I pray for you?

The acting job isn't all a bed roses like we think it is. It comes with its ups and downs and it can be extremely stressful at times. It does pay off really well but though Bollywood celebrities have everything a person might want in life, they are human too. Unfortunately, our bodies are prone to diseases and illness which are sometimes fatal too. Here are a handful of Bollywood celebrities who are battling and struggling with such serious diseases. Their stories are most inspiring and instil hope that,
"Every day above ground is a good day!"
1. Liza Ray
View this post on Instagram
Nine years and a few months ago, I was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma, an incurable blood cancer. I'm still here. I chose to share my diagnosis from the red carpet of the Toronto International Film Festival and I wrote about it in a blog titled, #TheYellowDiaries. But what hasn't been extensively shared is I relapsed in 2012, around the time of my (first and only) marriage. And after drawing on both allopathic and complementary therapies, I was back in remission. . Stay open and curious they say, suck the meaning from every experience. Then about four years ago, just before moving to Hong Kong and Mumbai, I found myself as patient number 12 in a second stage clinical trial for a revolutionary new way of approaching cancer treatment: immuno-oncology. Chemotherapy kills the bad cells, along with the good- it's doesn't discriminate. But immuno-oncology boosts the immune system in a way that it can target only those rogue cancer cells. . Dr Armand Keating was conducting the trials for NK-92 @thepmcf and looking for patients who had relapsed just once. Yes! That's me…and so I became part of a clinical trial that I believe has made all the difference. Life was unusually crazy as I would travel to Asia and then back to Toronto for one week of infusions and monitoring at Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto. I'm unspeakably grateful to Dr Keating, his staff, Princess Margaret, serendipity and the goddess forces that have guided me, fearlessly, humour intact, into places that have awakened that cheeky survivor personality that lies within us all. . I'm not special. We each of us has the potential to tap into something far greater than the individual…and also the wisdom to understand when its time to let go. The universe is for you, not against you. That's what I have come to understand through cancer, in a line. @thepmcf ?? pictured: my portacath ?
She has a rare type of cancer called multiple myeloma. Though she had cured it with a stem cell transplant successfully, she has to remain under constant supervision. By doing so, she avoids relapse and the occurrence of the rare type of cancer again.
2. Amitabh Bachchan
When Amitabh Bachan was diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis, the disease made him physically and mentally weak and sent him into depression. He fought the disease for 2 years and emerged out as a true warrior. #AmitabhBachan #MyastheniaGravis #Warrior #superhero #SuVitas #LiveAgain pic.twitter.com/FZ8h9VCcAQ
— SuVitas (@_SuVitas) November 13, 2017
Big B suffers from Myasthenia gravis. Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disease. The disease eats away your muscles and makes it weak. It causes weakness in the skeletal muscles which are the muscles mainly used for body movements. It happens when the communication between the nerve cells and the muscle becomes impaired. We wish Big B good health and we hope it all goes well for him!
3. Sonam Kapoor
Did you know that the stunning Sonam Kapoor has been battling diabetes all her life? She has to constantly treat and take proper medical aid to keep her situation under control or it can be fatal. Sonam takes medications for her condition and has it under control. She is inspiring to watch on screen and is also inspiring in real life by battling her condition bravely.

Binance preps stablecoin project
Cryptocurrency exchange Binance has unveiled plans to develop stablecoins and digital assets pegged to fiat currencies around the world.
In a brief statement, Binance says it wants to create alliances with governments, corporations, technology companies, and other cryptocurrency outfits
"to empower developed and developing countries to spur new currencies".
It plans to do this through the new project, dubbed Venus, using its public chain technology and cross-border payments system, promising
"full-process technical support, compliance risk control system and multi-dimensional cooperation network"
Can't wait to know more ;) Fingers crossed that it will be a step closer to mass adoption of digital currencies.

FMM - Waiver/Par-Q Template
(A Questionnaire for People Aged 15 to 69)
Regular physical activity is fun and healthy, and increasingly more people are starting to become more active every day. Being more active is very safe for most people. However, some people should check with their doctor before they start becoming much more physically active.
If you are planning to become much more physically active than you are now, start by answering the seven questions in the box below. If you are between the ages of 15 and 69, the PAR-Q will tell you if you should check with your doctor before you start. If you are over 69 years of age, and you are not used to being very active, check with your doctor.
Common sense is your best guide when you answer these questions. Please read the questions carefully and answer each one honestly: check YES or NO
1. Has your doctor ever said that you have a heart condition AND that you should only do physical activity recommended by a doctor? YES NO
2. Do you feel pain in your chest when you do physical activity?
3. In the past month, have you had chest pain when you were not doing physical activity?
4. Do you lose your balance because of dizziness or do you ever lose consciousness?
5. Do you have a bone or joint problem (for example, back, knee or hip) that could be made worse by a change in your physical activity?
6. Is your doctor currently prescribing drugs (for example, water pills) for your blood pressure or heart condition?
7. Do you know of ANY OTHER REASON why you should not do physical activity?
If you answered YES to one or more questions:
If you answered NO honestly to all PAR-Q questions, you can be reasonably sure that you can:
Delay becoming much more active:

Edmonton at Winnipeg
- Bull On Parade - Drew Willy owns the hearts and minds of folks in Manitoba. The Former Buffalo Quarterback is 3-0 as a starter with two heart pounding comebacks under his belt. He is healthy and will once again get the start.
- Last Week: Stop me if you heard this one before; Drew Willy led his team to a come from behind victory which featured a near perfect late fourth quarter drive. This was not Buffalo back in 2008 nor was it last week against Ottawa. The Legend of Drew Willy continues to grow as he took down Chad Johnson and Montreal with a third down strike with under a minute left as the Blue Bombers beat Montreal.
- This Week:Edmonton and Winnipeg are the only two 3-0 teams in the CFL after neither was seen as being too highly ranked when the season started. Suddenly this is an early game for the poll position in the Western division.
- Expectation: Winnipeg has been playing with fire the last two weeks and as the saying goes eventually that kind of game will burn you and the Eskimos have been playing well enough to be the team that makes the Blue Bombers pay. Edmonton 27 - Winnipeg 22
Ottawa vs Toronto
- Bull On Parade - Natey Adjei - The Rookie has yet to get a touch but as Toronto deals with injuries and performance issues the Argos may start looking to younger layers like Adjei.
- Last Week: They moved the ball around just fine in the middle of the field but Toronto's offense was flaccid between the 30's. They hung in the game against Calgary but drive after stalled drive they started to fall behind. Eventually Bo Levi Mitchell carved up the Argos for four touchdowns.
- This Week: A sell out crowd will be on hand to watch the Ottawa RedBlacks play their first regular season home games. The expansion Ottawa team is led by the ageless Henry Burris who's experience in the CFL makes the Agro's secondary very vulnerable.
- Expectation: Their offense might be better this week but the secondary has yet to look decent this season. Burris and the RedBlacks will bury Toronto. Ottawa 33 - Toronto 28
B.C. vs Montreal
