Two European research teams have identified three genes that affect a person's risk of developing Alzheimer's disease, the most common cause of dementia in the elderly.
The new genes appear to have at least as big a role as four others discovered in the last 15 years that are known to play a role in Alzheimer's.
"The message here is that genes are important in Alzheimer's disease . . . and there may be multiple ways of reducing the risk that the genes produce," said Julie Williams, a neuroscientist at Cardiff University in Wales who helped lead one of the teams.
All so-called Alzheimer genes have normal roles in brain physiology; they don't exist solely to cause dementia. Instead, small variations in their DNA alter their function and, through processes only now being uncovered, increase or reduce a person's risk of developing the disease.
Two of the genes described in the new research may be involved in determining the brain's capacity to clear itself of toxic "amyloid" proteins that collect outside neurons, eventually poisoning them.
The most important previously known Alzheimer gene promoted overproduction of amyloid. The new findings suggest that at least two processes -- production of amyloid and its removal -- are involved in the disease.
At least 5 million Americans have Alzheimer's disease. By one estimate, one in seven people age 72 and older has dementia, with Alzheimer's the most common form.
The new findings, reported Sunday in the journal Nature Genetics, will have no immediate consequence in either diagnosis or treatment of the disease. However, they will help illuminate a process that goes on for years or even decades before memory loss, the cardinal symptom of the disease, becomes apparent.
The genes were found through "genome-wide association studies," in which long stretches of DNA are examined for small differences between individuals.
With the advent of cheap and fast DNA sequencing in the last five years, the studies have become a powerful way to uncover genes that make small contributions -- along with environmental influences and personal choice -- to a person's overall risk for such chronic ailments as diabetes, coronary heart disease and depression.
Neuroscientists believe 60 percent to 80 percent of a person's risk of developing Alzheimer's disease is attributable to genes. Knowing which they are and what they do may provide targets for drugs and other interventions.
"Hopefully they will point us to parts of a physiological pathway where we can do some tweaking," said Stephen Snyder, deputy director of the National Institute on Aging, who was not involved in the studies.
In one of them, Williams and her collaborators scanned the genomes of about 4,000 people with Alzheimer's and 7,800 people without it, looking for patterns of variation in half a million locations on the DNA chain. They found three that were far more common in the people with dementia.
One was a variation in the APOE gene -- known since 1993 -- that leads to the overproduction of amyloid protein. The two other genes -- CLU and PICALM -- were new.
CLU appears to be involved in "chaperoning" newly formed amyloid molecules and helping suppress their deposition in the brain.
PICALM, however, seems to play a role in maintaining healthy synapses, the suction cup-like connections nerve cells make with each other to communicate. The loss of synapses is highly correlated with loss of mental function in Alzheimer patients.
A second research group, led by Philippe Amouyel, a neurologist and epidemiologist at the Institut Pasteur de Lille, in France, scanned the genomes of about 2,000 Alzheimer patients and 5,300 control cases.
In addition to APOE and CLU it found another gene, CR1, that is involved in the body's inflammatory response and may specifically play a role in capturing and clearing away amyloid molecules.
Some clinical studies of people with arthritis have found that those taking anti-inflammatory drugs for long periods may have lower rates of Alzheimer's disease.
"Fighting against inflammation may be a clue to fighting against Alzheimer's," Amouyel said, noting that at the moment that is just speculation.
Williams's group had also found CR1, and Amouyel's group had also found PICALM. In each case, however, the frequency of the variations were below the cut-off that defined a "hit." The complementary findings, however, suggest the two genes are truly contributors to a person's Alzheimer risk.
Overall, the effect of APOE is responsible for about 25 percent of Alzheimer cases, CLU 9 percent, PICALM 9 percent and CR1 4 percent. Three other genes are involved in early-onset Alzheimer's, which accounts for about 1 percent of cases.
The importance of various genes in individuals may be quite different from that of the population as a whole.
"The key question is what's in the hand of cards you're dealt, what is the combination of genes you have," said Michael J. Owen, also of Cardiff University, who led the study along with Williams and another scientist, Michael O'Donovan.
The team identified about a dozen other gene "signals" that weren't strong enough to be labeled hits, but that were nevertheless quite strong.
Williams said the team plans to scan 60,000 people next year. She hopes that will provide enough statistical power to identify a second tier of weaker, but still important, genetic variations contributing to a person's Alzheimer risk.

If James Rodriguez had his way, fellow Colombia star and former Monaco teammate Radamel Falcao would join him at Real Madrid.
Rodriguez transferred to the Bernabeu for £71 million earlier this month following his stellar six-goal performance that lifted Los Cafeteros to the World Cup quarterfinal for the first time. Falcao was supposed to be the focal point of Colombia’s attack in Brazil, but a knee injury ended his inaugural Ligue 1 term and international season.
Still, Rodriguez believes the striker, despite the injury, can light up opposing back lines once again with Madrid.
“I’m sure he can play there,” Rodriguez said according to Inside Spanish Football. “But I’m not the one who decides whether or not he’s going. It’s up to the president. It may be because he has quality and a winning attitude.
“I’ve been playing with him for four years. The only break was when he went to Atletico. He has a winning mentality and that’s what you want at Madrid. Hopefully he can come.”
Falcao has reportedly begun training again, but the speculation around a move back to Spain was heightened when the 28-year-old started following Madrid stars Gareth Bale, Isco and Sami Khedira on picture sharing app Instagram, as reported by AS.
There have been no indications that Monaco, who acquired Falcao only last year for nearly £50 million and signed him to a five-year deal, are willing to part with another one of their stars. But the club could net more than £100 million in fees this summer, an astounding sum. What is more, there are no indications that Falcao will be the same player he was when he started last term, and netted 52 goals in two years with Atletico Madrid.
Falcao might be open to the switch, with a report from Daily Mirror last week indicating he’s “unsettled” in Monaco and Madrid could pay a sizeable £9.9 million loan fee. The possible move could be made permanent should Madrid shell out another £26 million.
Counting Rodriguez, as well as midfielder Toni Kroos, it’s believed Los Blancos have already spent more than £100 million on new talent this summer. Though they’ve never been shy to spend, the world’s most valuable sporting franchise could hold off until the winter session to see how well Falcao has recovered from his injury.

Does linen stitch curl?
Linen stitch lays flat, so there’s no curling to deal with, like there is in sockinette stitch. The stitch is also really dense, so it’s perfect for wraps, scarves, or other forms of outerwear.
How do you do linen stitch?
In the linen stitch, you slip every other stitch and knit (or purl) every other stitch. At the same time, you carry the yarn in front of the slipped knit stitch on the right side of the work or behind the slipped purl stitch on the wrong side of the work.
Does linen stitch use a lot of yarn?
3 Reasons We Love Crochet Linen Stitch
It has a very similar appearance to single crochet, but the added chain stitches make the fabric less dense. This makes it perfect for sweaters, scarves, and other garments that you want to drape along the body. 2. It uses less yarn.
What is linen knit?
Linen is a natural fiber spun from the cellulose inside the stalk of a flax plant. Woven linen fabrics are a favorite of many sewers, but that is not the only way linen fiber can be used. When knitted, it is transformed into a breathable, fluid, semisheer, fine-gauge fabric that is perfect for warm weather fashion.

Well, it seems I was the only one who read The Sugar Queen, so I’ll make this review short. I liked it. It had a few words that I didn’t like reading (see warning here) but overall, I enjoyed reading it. Allen’s books (I’ve read both) tend to be very light, fluffy and whimsical. It was one of those books that you take to the beach (or something) for a bit of light reading – or to escape into another world.
The thing I enjoyed most about the book was that it encouraged Josey to find her own way; to be her own person. It was good to see her evolve into her own person. I enjoyed all the character interactions. I cringed when reading the parts about Josey’s mother, and was quietly thankful for a family who has always encouraged me to “be myself.” I know it sounds corny, but it’s true.
I also enjoyed the relationship that Chloe had with books – how they were always finding her at the time when she needed them most. And I loved how persistent they were; even crawling into the bathroom, though they were supposed to be afraid of water. I loved how Chloe would talk to the books – because I do the same thing. I talk to books, and to the characters in them. I’ve always been a bookworm and I relate to the characters in the books – and I often relate to them by talking out loud. Cory thinks me very funny :)
So, in short, this is a fun and fluffy book. It's not-challenging and a quick read - and everyone ends up happy. My kind of book!

Hmm... I believe, in a book I have on fluid dynamics, this type of effect is discussed.
There was an aircraft that had a sort of 'paddle-wheel' design to the leading edge - which greatly reduced drag and improved lift.
I believe there has also been some research into ducted exhaust from the engines through slats on the upper trailing surface of the wing to counteract
the chaotic boundary layer (reduce drag, improve lift, improve performance - good stuff, spare for the high temperatures of the jet exhaust and
potential buildup of exhaust particles).
I am not too familiar with this - but there are probably several influencing factors. First - a hovering jet-liner just doesn't sound like a good
idea. You have a lot of surface area for ground-level winds to pick up and toss around.
Though it does seem like this sort of thing would be useful in a helicopter design. It just may not have ever been able to be developed and refined
to match the performance of conventional methods - or simply was seen as 'too new' to really be used.
Looks have a lot to do with things - wouldn't be the first time a perfectly safe, practical, and better solution gets passed up on the sake of it
looks scary or unsafe.

Whether the baby food was organic or not did not matter, the subcommittee found – levels of toxic metals were still high.
Three additional baby food companies, according to the congressional investigators, did not fully cooperate with the subcommittee’s investigation: Sprout Organic Foods; Walmart, which sells Parent’s Choice baby food; and Campbell Soup Company, which sells the Plum Organics brand of baby products.
Documents showed Nurture sold Happy Baby baby foods that tested as high as 500 parts per billion and 641 parts per billion for lead. Nurture also sold “a finished baby food product that contained 10 ppb mercury, and two others that contained 9.8 and 7.3 ppb. A level of 10 ppb is five times more than the EPA’s 2 ppb standard for drinking water,” the subcommittee wrote.

Drunk detainee grabs police walkie-talkie, sobs to Control Room
The city police control room received a piece of unusual information around 3 am on Monday — a man crying at the other end of an in-car walkie talkie system that he and his friend have been falsely detained under drunk driving charges.
Inquiries by higher officials revealed that the incident happened on Arcot Road at Virugambakkam. The men have been identified as 26-year-old Varunraj from Kerala and his friend Ajith Kumar from Ulundurpet. The men work in a software firm in Porur and have been staying in Valasaravakkam, the police said.
Early on Monday, Royala Nagar inspector Thomson Xavier, who was on night rounds, saw a group of men surrounding a man selling tea on a bi-cycle on Arcot Road and drove the vehicle near them. On noticing the police vehicle, the tea seller asked the youngsters to vacate the spot. While others fled, Varunraj and Ajith started their two-wheeler but ran it into the inspector’s vehicle parked ahead of them.
After the inspector confirmed that they were drunk, he called on a patrol vehicle to arrive at the spot to take the men to the police station. Accordingly, a sub-inspector and a driver arrived with a patrol vehicle and made Varunraj and Ajith board it.
While the inspector was explaining the incident to the sub-inspector, Varunraj, who was seated in the second row, reached for the in-car walkie-talkie and started crying out that they have been falsely secured for drunken driving. The other police personnel immediately snatched the mic from him and took the men to the police station. They were booked for nuisance and released on bail. The Virugambakkam traffic police were also instructed to book Varunraj for drunk driving.

The ocean, with its vastness and beauty, has always held a mysterious allure. Its depths remain largely unexplored, housing a plethora of extraordinary creatures and ecosystems. However, beneath the mesmerizing surface lies a silent threat - ocean acidification. This phenomenon is causing gradual changes to our marine environment, putting at risk the delicate balance that sustains countless species and ultimately, our own existence. As I stand on the sandy shores, the rhythmic crashing waves create a soothing symphony. But little do we realize that these very waves hold the power to reshape the future of our oceans. Over the past century, human activities have led to a significant increase in carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, primarily through the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation. This excess CO2 finds its way into the atmosphere, where it becomes absorbed by the ocean's surface. Acting as a natural carbon sink, the oceans have managed to regulate our planet's climate for millennia. However, the sheer magnitude of CO2 being absorbed is overwhelming their capacity. When CO2 dissolves in seawater, it undergoes a chemical reaction that results in the formation of carbonic acid. This process, known as ocean acidification, leads to a decrease in ocean pH levels. As the pH levels drop, marine organisms, particularly those with calcium carbonate shells, face immense challenges. Coral reefs, often referred to as the "rainforests of the sea," are particularly vulnerable. These ecosystems, teeming with a vibrant array of life, provide shelter and sustenance to countless species. But now, under the increasing threat of ocean acidification, corals struggle to build and maintain their calcium carbonate structures. The very foundations of these magnificent structures are at risk of dissolving, leaving behind a barren wasteland. The impact of ocean acidification extends far beyond coral reefs. Shellfish such as oysters, clams, and mussels also face grave consequences. With their delicate shells eroding, these commercially important species struggle to survive, leading to significant economic repercussions. Furthermore, the decline in shell-forming organisms ripples through the food chain, affecting the entire marine ecosystem. The signs of ocean acidification's harmful effects are already becoming apparent. Scientists have observed a decrease in the calcification rates of important species, causing widespread concern for their long-term survival. The repercussions extend beyond the ocean itself, as coastal communities dependent on fishing industries face an uncertain future. While the threat of ocean acidification may seem overwhelming, it is not without hope. By reducing carbon emissions and actively working towards more sustainable practices, we can mitigate the impacts on our oceans. Investing in alternative energy sources, promoting responsible fishing practices, and supporting coral reef conservation efforts are crucial steps in safeguarding our marine ecosystems for generations to come. The ocean's charm lies not only in its beauty but also in its ability to provide us with sustenance, inspiration, and a sense of serenity. It is our collective responsibility to protect and preserve this invaluable resource. By addressing the threat of ocean acidification head-on, we can steer our planet towards a more sustainable and harmonious future.
Agriculture changes the environment around it. It is very important to be aware of changes which occur in the soil, water and people. Therefore, you can prevent negative impacts on the environment, and make the land more sustainable for you and future generations.
Reforestation areas are areas where the natural forest is restored. Reforestation is a less intensive system, and will provide less produce than agriculture.
We see so many issues in our contemporary world, yet it is full of wonder world filled with hope for the future. We made it to the 3 millennia, and it is a

A Berry Brow couple and three teenage boys have gone on trial accused of the “brutal and senseless killing” of a man whose body was dumped near Woodhead Pass tunnel.
Mohammed Shiraz Bashir, 42, his girlfriend Leonie Mason, both of Holme Park Court, and three boys, who cannot be named for legal reasons, are accused of murdering Craig Preston around midnight on August 21 last year.
All the defendants deny murder.
Opening the prosecution case at Sheffield Crown Court, Dafydd Enoch QC said Leonie had previously been the girlfriend of Mr Preston, 34, of Wath-upon-Dearne, near Rotherham.
But he said Bashir had developed a deep-seated antagonism towards Mr Preston and began plotting his demise.
Mr Enoch said: “It happened around midnight on August 21, 2016, not that long ago.
“Mr Preston was taken to a layby on Town Lane, north west of Rotherham.
“He had no idea of what was going to happen to him. In that layby all five defendants beat him effectively to death.
“He probably didn’t die straightaway, but by the time the five defendants had finished with him he was unconscious and had many serious injuries, principally to his head.
“He was kicked, punched, hit and stamped upon. All five say the prosecution participated in the attack.
“All five joined in, willingly and enthusiastically. No doubt some took more of a lead. They were all in it together.
“Their intention was to seriously harm Mr Preston at the very least.
“This was never going to be a case of giving him a few slaps and sending him on his way. He was given a severe beating.”
Mr Preston’s body was later found face down by walkers.
The trial continues and is expected to last for several weeks.

FIRST MINISTER Imran Khan's World Diplomacy Week at the UN General Assembly has illustrated his "star calling," his strong commitment to the security of Pakistan and the welfare of his people and a desire for justice and peace between nations and within them.
Unlike the Pakistani leaders of the last decade, whose presence at the UNGA was notorious and even less influential, Imran Khan was warmly recognized in every event he attended in New York and sought by the leaders of the UN member states , international organizations, global corporations and the mainstream media.
Despite his focus on the Kashmir situation, the prime minister's incursion on the world stage has also highlighted Pakistan's external challenges at each point of the compass: in Kashmir, Afghanistan, Iran and the Gulf. He also revealed the important role that Pakistan, under a charismatic leader, can play in world affairs.
Read: Prime Minister Imran does not lose words at the UN, calls the Modi government for the oppression of cashmere
The main and perennial challenge emanates from the east. India's unilateral and brutal attempt to annex occupied Jammu and Kashmir is what led the prime minister to the UN. His highly anticipated speech to the UNGA was passionate, eloquent and substantive, vigorously projecting the real nature of the BJP-RSS government, the serious human rights violations he is perpetrating in Kashmir and the danger of a potentially catastrophic war between two nuclear weapons. weapon states
The long-awaited Prime Minister's address to the UN General Assembly was passionate, eloquent and substantive.
Although the conscience of global human rights defenders seems to be overshadowed by the profits promised in the great Indian market, and most of the world's foreign ministries have not yet publicly recognized the imminent threat of genocide and war between Pakistan and India, most states are worried and want a peaceful solution to the crisis created by the actions of India.
The Security Council meeting on August 16 was a significant affirmation of its responsibility to address the Kashmir dispute and a refutation of India's claim that it is an internal matter. Statements in the Human Rights Council of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, more than 50 countries, the European Union, several UN special rapporteurs and human rights groups are another example of international concern.
In the UNGA, important states such as China, Turkey and Malaysia have so far openly called for a resolution of the Kashmir dispute based on Security Council resolutions. And, despite its strategic partnership with India, the US Department of State. UU. He issued a statement, following Prime Minister Khan's meeting with President Donald Trump, calling for an immediate lifting of the curfew and restrictions in occupied Kashmir.
What happens next depends largely on the realities of the terrain. When India raises the curfew, or even if it is not, Kashmiris are likely to increase their unified resistance against the annexation and unilateral repression of India. As the prime minister assumed, India will blame Pakistan for this revolt, which will lead to another confrontation between Pakistan and India. The international community will be forced to address the crisis or allow a catastrophe.
It will be the task of the diplomacy of Pakistan, in the current session of the UNGA and in the main capitals, to continue exerting pressure on India to: lift the repression in Kashmir, prevent it from resorting to mass repression and genocide and accept a resolution of the Kashmir dispute in accordance with Security Council resolutions.
While Kashmir was the central focus, Prime Minister Khan also raised three other vital issues in his speech: climate change, which represents an existential threat to all mankind; money laundering, which is further impoverishing developing countries; and Islamophobia, which justifies discrimination and oppression of Muslim people, communities and nations and is the main cause of radicalization and extremism.
To substantiate its objectives, Pakistan's diplomacy must present effective proposals for the action of the international community. Thus, for example, the Security Council could be asked to adopt a binding resolution, in accordance with Chapter VII of the UN Charter, which obliges States to implement the provisions of the Paris Agreements (on climate change) .
On money laundering, an additional protocol to the Convention against Corruption can be proposed, incorporating articles on the return of the product of corruption. And in Islamophobia, Pakistan, with the OIC countries, can revive the proposal for an international convention that prohibits discrimination against Muslims and defamation of Islam, its Prophet (PBUH), its practices and sanctuaries.
During Imran Khan's visit to the UN, Pakistan’s diplomatic relevance was affirmed on two other critical issues. In his interactions with President Trump, he urged the prompt resumption of talks between the Taliban in the United States and Afghanistan and the conclusion of the agreements already negotiated on the withdrawal of foreign troops and anti-terrorism. This will open the way for intra-Afghan talks and steps to reduce, if not the end, of violence in Afghanistan, goals that Pakistan has actively promoted. Hopefully, the Afghan presidential elections (September 28) that the Taliban oppose will not interrupt the peace process.
Significantly, as Prime Minister Khan mentioned, both President Trump and Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman asked him to help defuse his growing confrontation with Iran. The prime minister initiated a mediation effort in his meeting with President Hassan Rouhani.
A de-escalation between Saudi Arabia and Iran, and the steps to normalize their relations, are of national interest to Pakistan for multiple reasons. This mediation effort must be carried out actively and boldly by delineating a feasible path to: reduce tensions, deny the use of force and external intervention, promote political solutions to conflicts in Yemen and Syria, reconciliation Shia-Sunni in Iraq and stability in Lebanon. At the appropriate time, a regional peace conference with the participation of the GCC, Iran, Turkey and Pakistan could be a useful modality to advance these goals.
In the person of a brave, honest and dedicated leader, Pakistan has been offered a historic opportunity to address its many external challenges, play a constructive role in resolving regional disputes and promote critical global goals. Success will depend crucially on the skill and diligence of Pakistan's foreign ministry and its security agencies. The government must provide moral and material support without limits to continue fulfilling its role and responsibility.

Hi, these symptoms can be caused by a few issue within the front area of this vehicles. i will list a few problem spots that i recommend inspecting. you will find the issue in one or all the areas listed below.
CHECK THESE FOLLOWING AREAS--
1. Check the tie rod ends.this is the part that is connected to the wheel rotors. if the ends of the tie rod are lose or worn, it will cause this sound you are hearing at this time.
2. I would also inspect the Steering gear as well. this is associated with the power steering pump.
3. The most common issue will be the CV Half-Shaft (Remanufactured) CCT. if the CV boot that covers the CV joint assembly, becomes tron and lose, it will expose the well oiled joint assembly. this will allow drying of this vital joint, therefore, reducing the fluid motion of the joint. This drying will produce the (CLUNK) that you are hearing when driving on the road or hitting bumps as well.
Remember to check all the above. you will find the issue in one or all of the above areas.
Please rate and god bless:)

the cheapest way to replace your window motor would be to go to a salvage yard to get the replacement. they are not very hard to install the hardest part of the job is removing the door panel without breaking the clips that hold it in place. just slide a big flathead screwdriver in between the plastic door panel and the metal door frame and twist the screwdriver that way the clips wont break on you.

Norbert Izer, State Secretary for Tax Affairs, said the Hungarian government’s proposed legislation regulating capital gains from cryptocurrencies and taxing them at a rate of 15 percent could serve as a paradigm for other policymakers, as well as boosting budget revenue.
In an interview with Magyar Nemzet, the government submitted a bill to lawmakers on Tuesday that would reduce the tax on capital gains from cryptocurrencies from 30.5 to 15 percent. Finance Minister Mihály Varga said the measure could generate “several billion forints” of budget revenue.
Izer told Magyar Nemzet that provisions in the bill would establish a regulatory framework for the clear determination of capital gains on cryptocurrency that is mined or used in transactions. He added that experts estimated that “tens of thousands” of Hungarians own cryptocurrency and put the value of that currency “as high as HUF 300 billion (EUR 838m)”. He noted that most countries still lack appropriate rules governing cryptocurrency and said the regulatory framework in Hungary could “grab the attention” of other policy makers.
“The last decade and a half in Hungary has clearly demonstrated that high taxes encourage hiding income, while a lower shared burden supports declaration and payment of taxes,” he said. “We expect the declared, legal turnover of cryptocurrencies to increase, and the repatriation of such assets, can’t be excluded either,” Izer said.

Scotland is famous for its New Year’s celebrations, complete with epic Hogmanay parties, dancing, fireworks, and often, drinking. Though not as famous as the main Hogmanay festivities, the Loony Dook tradition was jokingly hatched as a plan to cure any New Year’s Day hangovers.
In 1986, three South Queensferry locals suggested in the pub that jumping into the freezing waters of the Firth of Forth on New Year’s Day might be the radical hangover cure they were looking for. They dove into the frigid river, though whether it actually relieved their symptoms is unclear.
The swim was repeated the following year as a charity event, and there was no shortage of eager participants wanting to take part and don ridiculous fancy dress before plunging into the cold water. It has grown into a spectacular event, with all manner of costumes and groups leaping into the water on New Year’s Day while agog spectators salute their foolhardy bravery against the backdrop of the iconic Forth Rail Bridge.
The Loony Dookh has inspired similar events in other towns such as North Berwick, Kirkcaldy, and Dalgety Bay.

7 Causes of Heavy Menstrual Bleeding You Must Know About
Heavy menstrual bleeding, also known as Menorrhagia, refers to the state of abnormally heavy bleeding during periods. It’s common for women at the premenopausal stage of their life to experience heavy bleeding during periods; but if you are not among them, heavy menstrual bleeding is a matter of severe concern.
If you normally lose a lot of blood during your periods or experience severe cramps that prevent you from leading your normal lifestyle, you must first identify the cause of it.
Here are some of the most common conditions that are responsible for causing Menorrhagia.
Disturbed hormonal balance: Menstruation involves the shedding of the lining of the uterus (endometrium), whose build up is generally controlled by the balance between oestrogen and progesterone, the two significant hormones of your body. It sometimes happens that there is excess endometrium generation due to disturbed hormonal balance, which results in heavy menstrual bleeding.
Polyps: Sometimes heavy menstrual bleeding occurs due to the occurrence of uterine polyps, which are tiny growths appearing on the uterus lining. This condition is mostly prevalent among women of child-bearing age caused due to raised levels of hormones.
Intrauterine device (IUD): People who use birth control methods like Intrauterine device or IUD are likely to experience certain side effects which include heavy menstrual bleeding. If the cause behind your Menorrhagia is an IUD, you might need to remove it to get relief from the condition.
Pregnancy complications: If you experience your period later than usual and it is associated with excessive bleeding, it may be caused by a miscarriage. Moreover, you might also experience Menorrhagia in case of an ectopic pregnancy, a condition when the fertilized egg is implanted within the fallopian tube in place of the uterus.
Uterine fibroids: Women of reproductive age may develop noncancerous (benign) tumours in the uterus known as uterine fibroids. These fibroids can be responsible for giving you periods lasting longer than usual accompanied with excessive bleeding.
Medications: Consumption of certain prescription drugs such as anticoagulants and anti-inflammatory medicines may lead to prolonged or excessive menstrual bleeding.

What is a dowager's hump?
The term dowager's hump is a more casual term for the medical condition referred to as kyphosis. It is the uncommon curvature of the thoracic vertebrae of the upper part of the back in an outward direction.
It is most commonly seen in women than in men. When the front part of the vertebrae becomes involved and gets compressed due to osteoporosis, it will later on result to the spine bending forward and producing a hump at the upper back portion.
What causes a dowager's hump?
The hump can be caused by other conditions and these should be determined in order to get the correct treatment. Based on the research of the university of maryland medical center, this kyphosis problem can be caused by genetic abnormalities.
The disfiguration in the patient's genes can result to the inappropriate growth of the vertebral column. Other conditions linked with other congenital problems could also cause this hump.
It is also been mentioned in some studies that it can also be due to wedge fractures wherein the front part of a vertebra collapses causing the spine to be misaligned a little. The above part of the fracture tips forwards and creating a slight back curve.
As the vertebra over the wedge fracture is tipped forward, it puts pressure on other vertebrae that could lead to developing a wedge fracture in another vertebra. The more wedge fractures are occurring; the back gets more bowed. In severe cases, a person's back can be extremely bent over.
How is a dowager's hump treated?
There are several ways to treat dowager's hump. The main goal of treatment for this condition is by preventing bone loss, although it can also be utilized as a management which is beneficial for patients who experience pain resulting from vertebral fractures.
The procedure is called vertebroplasty, where bone cement is injected to stabilize the vertebrae. Another procedure for this condition is performing kyphoplasty for individuals with compression fractures in the bottom half of the spine.
Exercises for dowager's hump
Based on some research studies in the medical society, yoga exercises can be a great contribution in treating dowager's hump. The upper spine curvature of individuals who did yoga for six months reduced the back problem by about five percent compared to those who did not.
Here are some 5 easy poses that can be done to straighten the spine:
Sit straight at the front edge of the chair with the butt firm and flat. Secure the feet on the floor by steadying it there. Inhale and stretch out the spine upward. Bring the shoulders down along with the head placed over the spine, then breathe uniformly keeping the posture for about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Sit in the same seated mountain position then pull the head backward as if making a double chin. Do it again for 6 to 10 times. Do not lift or jut the chin in a forward manner. Focus on the backward movement with the shoulder rolled and lifted when inhaling, then compress the shoulder blades together at the back when exhaling. Do it 6 to 10 times in full circles.
Sit tall. Inhale while clasping the hands behind the back. Hold the arms away from the body when exhaling. Do it all over for 3 to 6 times. Remain in the same pose by continuously breathing if desired.
Sit tall as above. Keep the fit firm on the floor and draw the head back. Stay in this posture, and then bend forward by not rounding the spine. The muscles in the abdomen should remain firm and shoulders should be square. Bend back as far as possible with the feel still planted on the floor. Go through again for 10 to 20 times.
Methods of prevention for dowager's hump
Preventive measures must be taken to avoid this condition. Tips that can prevent dowager's hump include:
Daily doses of vitamins c and d
Work-outs for coordination and balance in order to prevent spine fractures
Eat a healthy and balanced diet
Training for strength and weight.

Pakistan and Karachi Kings opener, Khurram Manzoor said that only the presence of Shahid Afridi in the team puts the opponent side under immense pressure.
“Shahid Bhai presence puts the opponent side under pressure,” said Khurram Manzoor while talking to ARY Sports. “He played for Peshawar Zalmi in the previous season and in a game, he almost steered his side over the line single-handedly, we only managed to win it once he got out,” he recalled.
Karachi Kings finished at the third position in the second season of the league, Manzoor is hopeful that they will improve their performance and will at least play the final.
“We missed the final by a whisker, we will look to clear the stage where we failed. Especially, if the final takes place in Karachi, it would be a huge boost for us as it will be our home ground and local crowd,” he added.
The right-handed batsman mentioned the team launch event that took place in the National Stadium Karachi that he was astonished to see the jam-packed crowd despite the city’s situation.
The 31-year old believes that addition of Multan Sultans will certainly help the quality of cricket in Pakistan Super League (PSL) to go up.
“With the increase in the number of teams, it increases the number of players, which is always encouraging,” he said. “With the addition of new players, it beefs up the competition,” he added.
Manzoor quoted Indian Premier League (IPL) as an example that it has eight to ten teams, which is why it is a highly competitive league, similarly, the addition of more teams in the PSL will only improve its quality.
Moreover, the batsman who hails from Karachi told that sharing the dressing room with international players helps the young players to learn tricks and trades of the game and it has helped Pakistan to do well in the international cricket.
“Players like Brendon McCullum, Chris Gayle, Kieron Pollard or Shoaib Malik teach you a lot,” he said.
Khurram Manzoor is hopeful that the future seasons of the league will give Pakistan more superstars like Shadab Khan, Rumman Raees and others.
“Every addition of PSL has given a couple of new players so far. It was Sharjeel (Khan), (Mohammad) Nawaz, Asghar (Khan) in the first edition. Then there was Shadab (Khan), Fakhar Zaman in the season,” he said.
“With the addition of the sixth team, the number of new finds will increase as the league will get more competitive now,” he concluded.

Last week we had a lot of fun canning with Veith House. When chatting with Veith House about what to make, we agreed that the recipe needed to be affordable and easy. Pickled beets fit that bill. Beets are available year round, most recipes don’t require a lot of ingredients, and they can add a surprising amount of flavor to meals (sprinkled over a salad, or as a topping on a burger? Yes please!). The following recipe is intended for storing pickled beets for up to one year without refrigeration (until opened). You can also download the following resource: Canning 101 – Pickled Beets
Tip: Try swapping white vinegar with apple cider vinegar, and sugar with honey. If you don’t want to go through the full water bath canning process (instructions below), you can use less sugar but they will need to be refrigerated immediately and will only last for a couple months versus one year.
*Adapted from The Complete Book of Pickling by Jennifer Mackenzie
INGREDIENTS (for 7 X 500ml jars)
- 6lbs beets
- 1 1/3 cups sugar
- 2 tsp pickling or canning salt
- 4 cups white vinegar
- 2 cups water
- Trim the end of beets and place in large pot with water
- Bring water to boil, and reduce heat and boil for 40 minutes or until tender, but not too soft (fork can poke through)
- In the meantime, prepare canner, jars and lids (sterilize)
- Place beets in bowl with cold water and let cool off for approx. 30 minutes
- Peel skins – they should slide off easily once cooled, and chop into byte size pieces.
- In a large pot, combine vinegar, salt, sugar, and water and bring to a boil over medium/high heat. Stir often until sugar has dissolved.
- Add beets and return to a boil for one minute –then remove from heat
- Pack beets into jars, leaving about 1 inch (2.5 cm) head space.
- Pour hot pickling liquid and remove air bubbles
- Wipe rim with clean dish cloth and white vinegar or paper towel.
- Place lid on jar. Screw to fingertip tight
- Place jars in canner (or hot water bath) and return to a boil
- Process in hot water bath for 30 minutes
- Remove from canner and let stand for 24 hours. You should hear a ‘pop’ shortly after they are removed. This with a visual check that the seal is curved downward confirms a good seal.
Canning 101: the basics of home canning
In home canning, heat is applied to jars of food interrupting the natural decaying process and killing the microorganisms that cause food to spoil. The process also forces the air out of the jars, forming a vacuum seal that prevents any air or microorganisms from entering the jar, and allows the jars of food to be stored at room temperature for an extended period of time.
A Few Warnings: Hot water bath canning is safe for high acid foods such as fruit, pickles, chutney, jam, salsa and tomatoes with added acid (lemon juice). It is not safe for low acid foods such as vegetables and meats without additional acid. Always follow a recipe and use the jar size indicated in your recipe as this relates to the necessary processing time.
Necessary Tools: canner (or large, deep pot), a rack (optional but helpful), jars and two-piece metal lids, tongs, a rubber spatula, a ladle and a wide-mouth funnel.
Home Canning Steps
- Wash and prepare your produce.
- Wash jars with hot, soapy water and rinse well. Place jars in the canner (or large, deep pot) with enough water to cover them. Bring to a boil. Boil for 10 minutes, sterilizing the jars. Leave the jars in the canner until you are ready to fill them.
- Place the snap lids in a small bowl or pot and pour very hot water over them. Allow them to sit a few minutes in the water to soften until you are ready to use them.
- Prepare your recipe. Fill your jars (with the help of the funnel and ladle) with your recipe. Follow your recipe regarding how much “headspace” to leave. The general rule is: ¼ inch for 125mL and 250mL jars and ½ inch for 500mL and 1L jars.
- Remove any air bubbles in the jar by running the rubber spatula along the inside wall of each jar.
- Wipe the rim of the jar to remove any food spills. Place the snap lid and metal screw band on the jar, tightening gently. Repeat for each jar.
- Now you are ready to “process” the jars in the hot water bath. Place the filled jars into the canner of boiling water. Begin timing, following your recipe regarding necessary processing time. Ensure that the water covers the jars by a minimum of 1inch.
- When your processing time is up, remove the lid and remove the jars from the canner without tilting. Do not tighten the screw bands or move the jars for a number of hours. You will likely hear a popping sound when the seal forms. You can test the seals by checking that the centre of the snap lid curves downward. Store your jars in a cool, dark place.

CSO, how's the glare off the stainless steel cluster? I want one bad but the only thing stopping me is the thought of blinding myself and driving off the road.
...the airbag hit the windshield because he "rolls hard." (He's so low that driving normally set off his airbag.) And that's cool... so he brags about it in a custom interior thread... because he customized his interior. Seems logical.Judging by the windshield, I'd say it got wrecked.

POLICE are investigating a suspected group of serial dine and dashers.
It comes after a group of eaters ran off without paying for thousands of euros-worth of food in a northern Spanish restaurant last week.
El Carmen restaurant owner Antonio Rodriguez was left dumbfounded when around 120 diners bolted before dessert was served in Bembibre in Castille y Leon.
But now new information has emerged of a second restaurant, El Rincon de Pepin, just six miles away, which previously fell victim to the same type of incident.
Owner Laura Arias said: “There were 160 of them and they all disappeared. Suddenly. Within five minutes,”
“Usually people leave over time, and you expect someone to come to talk to you and say they will settle the bill the next morning or something. But they didn’t say anything, they just disappeared.”
Arias said the group owed €10,000 after paying only a €1,000 deposit for what they claimed was in celebration of a wedding.
She said she could tell from the photos that the same people carried out this crime on both occasions.
Witnesses have described the group members as being of eastern European descent.
Two ringleaders are thought to have been identified.

NHS Wales urged to embrace 3D printing tech for implants
NHS Wales needs to be ahead of the game in embracing next generation technologies to transform patient care, a leading surgeon said.
Adrian Sugar backed calls for funding for specialist hubs but said they had so far been knocked back.
He warned Wales could fall behind other countries if there are further delays.
Morriston Hospital in Swansea started working with 3D printing in 1999 and is one of the pioneers for facial reconstruction and using implants.
An independent commission said this was an example of how new technology could transform surgery for millions of UK patients.
Surgeons now use prosthetics printed out of wax, plates for limbs and heads printed out of titanium - at the old Bosch factory in south Wales - and plastic material for reconstruction after cancer operations.
The next stage is looking at the future potential 3D printing of human tissues, such as cartilage and bone.
The cost of current 3D printers is £300 and surgeons believe rolling out the technology to other hospitals will deliver better care - and save money.
- Patient's chest rebuilt with 3D tech after cancer surgery
- How a motorcyclist's face was rebuilt after crash
- Could new technology transform NHS Wales?
FOUR WAYS TO TRANSFORM SURGERY
- Robot-assisted and minimally-invasive surgery, meaning faster recovery times - including in heart and gynaecological procedures
- Imaging (including virtual, mixed and augmented reality) and also patient-tailored implants from 3D printing
- Big data, genomics and artificial intelligence will mean "precision" surgery, tailored to a patient's genes
- Specialised interventions like developments in transplants and stem-cell therapies - as well as 3D-bioprinting of tissues and organs and creating more advanced prostheses.
Mr Sugar was a member of the commission set up by the Royal College of Surgeons (RCS), which wants funding for specialist hubs so the use of 3D printing technologies is more widespread.
His hospital already employs an additional person to plan 3D work for operations - the first of its kind in the UK.
"We recognise to go forward we have to have an expansion of what we have now, involving collaborations between surgeons, engineers and technicians."
"These are technologies that will change the way we work - and we need to make those changes come about."
NHS Wales chief executive Andrew Goodall welcomed the RCS report, adding that investing in new treatments and pioneering digital technologies would help people live longer, healthier lives.
"It's imperative to our NHS's continuing success that it moves with the times to improve the health and prosperity of the people of Wales."

The head of a 56-year-old woman was smashed and severed after hitting an electric pole when she leaned out of the window of a rashly-driven bus to vomit in Madhya Pradesh’s Panna on Friday, police said. The incident took place near Diamond crossing and the victim was identified as Asha Rani, who was travelling from Satna district to Panna district, they said. Asha Rani leaned out of the bus's window to vomit when her head hit the electric pole.
The impact was so massive that her head got severed and tumbled on the road, Kotwali police station inspector Arvind Kujur told PTI over phone.
"We have arrested the bus driver for rash driving and impounded the vehicle," Kujur said, adding investigations are on. The body was handed to her family members after post-mortem, the police inspector said. The deceased hailed from the adjoining Chhatapur district, the officer said.
This bizarre incident highlights the poor road safety records in India. According to a report by the Transport Research Wing of the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, three persons died every ten minutes in road accidents across India in 2017. The report also said that a total of 4,64,910 road accidents were reported by states and Union Territories in 2017, claiming 1,47,913 lives and causing injuries to 4,70,975 people.
Earlier in June 2018, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari had admitted that only 5% lives were saved instead of 50% during road accidents. Gadkari had said that a Road Safety Bill passed in the Lok Sabha to curb road accidents has been pending in the Rajya Sabha for over a year now. The legislation is currently being scrutinised by a standing committee. Gadkari said as many as five lakh accidents occur on an average every year, killing 1.5 lakh people and injuring another three lakh.
The bill – aimed at effecting transparency in regional transport offices – was tabled in Parliament only after a committee headed by Rajasthan transport minister Yunus Khan submitted its report on the matter, the Union minister said.

Caterpillar recently reported record sales as demand for Caterpillar’s machinery and engines was spurred by commodity-hungry emerging markets.
Emerging markets have helped extend the boom for commodity prices and are driving mining investment globally. Developed markets experienced some growth in machinery and engines sales as well as dealers increased their inventories and industrial clients refurbished their fleets in anticipation of growth.
Amid heightened uncertainty around the European debt crisis and sluggish U.S. growth, we believe we could see a meaningful slowing in Caterpillar’s business in the second half of the year. Caterpillar’s machinery and engines business competes with Deere and Co., Komatsu, Terex, Hitachi Construction Machinery, Cummins, GE Energy and Wartsila.
Our $116 price estimate for Caterpillar stock is about 40% above market price.
Global Growth is Slowing
In the three-month rolling period ended April 2011, Caterpillar machines’ global retail deliveries to climbed over 60% year over year (yoy). Since April, this growth has been steadily decelerating and stood around 34% yoy growth in the three-month rolling period ended August 2011. ((Caterpillar: Dealer Statistics))
This increase early on was driven by commodity demand in emerging markets, which in turn drove investment in mining and machinery globally. Also a moderate level of investment among developed countries led to sales as industrial clients refurbished their machinery fleets and invested on the anticipation of a recovery in demand.
Warning Signs Could Signal Trouble Ahead
Macro concerns relating to the European debt crisis has worsened recently which weighs on business sentiment and has led to lower sales growth. European nations have so far been unable to effectively contain the debt crisis, which is now threatening to spread to other major economies within Eurozone such as Spain and Italy. More importantly, many businesses and market participants are not satisfied with the U.S. handling of its economy and efforts to stimulate the economy.
Construction and farm machinery sales are closely correlated to the health of economy. Therefore in the mid-term while construction and other machinery sales will continue growing along with the global GDP, its rate of growth will likely moderate until further evidence of a recovery in demand surfaces.

Five of 50 fastest growing craft breweries in the United States are located in Oregon and Washington. Yesterday, the Brewers Association (BA) released its inaugural list of the 50 fastest growing small and independent craft brewing companies of 2017. Many on this list are smaller breweries that were able to see a larger percentage increase than that of more established, larger breweries.
Making this Top 50 List includes Draper Brewing (#6), Dragon’s Gate Brewery (#14) and Wolf Tree Brewery (#19) all located in Oregon. The list also includes Lumber House Brewing (#10) and Barrel Mountain Brewing (48) located in Washington. Also of note, Melvin Brewing from Alpine, Wyoming came in at #46.
According to the BA, median growth of the Top 50 breweries was 216% from 2016 to 2017. The median size of breweries on the list went from 284 barrels in 2016 to 963 barrels in 2017. These companies represent 5.5 percent of craft’s growth by volume for 2017 and include eight brewpubs, 40 microbreweries and two regional craft breweries.
“With 5 percent growth overall for small and independent brewers in 2017 and microbreweries and brewpubs delivering the majority of that, we wanted to spotlight some of the breweries driving that growth,” said Bart Watson, chief economist, Brewers Association, in a statement. “As the growth base for craft becomes more diffuse, these fast growing brewing companies illustrate that a diverse set of success stories still exist.”
This data was selected from only small and independent breweries that brew all of its production at its own facilities. Breweries had to have opened by then end of 2015 or earlier to be considered. It only includes breweries that reported to the Brewers Association’s annual Beer Industry Production Survey; breweries with staff estimates or data from state excise tax reports were not considered. Finally, breweries must have had data from at least three years to be considered.
Later this month the BA will release its comprehensive State of the Industry report when it will be delivered during the 2018 Craft Brewers Conference, held from April 30 – May 3, 2018 in Nashville, Tennessee.

March marked the 31st annual Music In Our Schools Month®. And over six weeks in March and April, six schools around the United States are hosting celebrations no student would want to miss.
On April 8, 2016, Southwest Elementary School in Dexter, Missouri (Stoddard County), will be the fourth of six schools to be recognized for its music program and be presented a grant for $2,500! Radio Disney artist Before You Exit will be joined by Radio Disney on-air personality Nate for the celebration. The Southwest Elementary Honor Choir will open the celebration.
“Winning the Music in Our Schools – Music Inspires Tour competition is probably the biggest thing that has ever happened in my community,” said Southwest Elementary music teacher James Eldreth. “Big events like this just do not happen without having to drive 2.5 hours to either St. Louis or Memphis. We anticipate most of our town attending on April 8th.”
“When I entered the competition, I never expected to win,” Mr. Eldreth continued. “I was using it as a chance to let my newly formed Honor Choir have the chance to do something special. When we did win, I was ecstatic! Getting any type of grant was not on my mind at all, but when I heard it was $2,500 I was speechless! I definitely want to choose some things that will benefit all of the students.” Mr. Eldreth mentioned plans to provide the school library with books on music, noting the need to build reading skills among the students, as well as instruments and supplies for the music classroom.
Last October, Radio Disney on-air personality Brooke Taylor and Give a Note President and Board Chair Beth Slusher announced the partnership for the third annual Music In Our Schools Tour. Thanks to the generosity of Radio Disney, the 2016 Music In Our Schools – Music Inspires Tour will have a greater reach than ever before.
The kickoff event took place March 19 at Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon Water Park at Walt Disney World Resorts where Radio Disney artists Carson Lueders and Before You Exit performed during Disney Performing Arts’ Festival Disney awards. Approximately 3,500 students were in attendance during that celebration where the six schools on the Music in Our Schools Tour were introduced.
Schools from all over the nation shared performances of songs that inspired their music students. And this past February, votes were cast to select one school in each of six regions around the United States to receive a grant from the Give a Note Foundation for their music program, a celebration concert with a Radio Disney artist, and a Radio Disney Music Awards (RDMA) “ARDY” Statuette, recognizing the schools as honorary award winners of the 2016 RDMA, music’s biggest event for families.
These six schools will host the 2016 Music In Our Schools Tour (dates subject to change):
- March 17: Shady Hill Elementary School, Ocala, FL (Marion County); Music Teacher: Sondra A. W. Collins
- March 25: Spanish Fork Junior High School, Spanish Fork, UT (Utah County); Music Teacher: Angela Harman
- April 1: Stapleton Public Schools, Stapleton, NE (Logan County); Music Teacher: Daniel Gibbs
- April 8: Southwest Elementary School, Dexter, MO (Stoddard County); Music Teacher: James Eldreth
- April 15: George A. Jackson Elementary School, Jericho, NY (Nassau County); Music Teacher: Andrea Gonnella
- April 19: Maplewood Elementary School, Puyallup, WA (Pierce County); Music Teacher: Maggie Smith
Music In Our Schools Month® or “MIOSM®” is National Association for Music Education’s (NAfME) annual celebration during March which engages music educators, students, and communities from around the country in promoting the benefits of high quality music education programs in schools.
However, many underserved schools around the country do not receive the support they need to sustain their music programs. This need inspired the creation of Give a Note Foundation, which was established in 2011 by NAfME with a vision of giving every child the opportunity to participate in school music programs. Give a Note shines a spotlight on those areas of need, and the value of music education in the lives of all students, and the great work of the music teachers who reach those students.
Since 2011, Give a Note has given $1.2 million in grants to schools for their music programs, reaching more than 40,000 students in 100 communities. Give a Note has reached 35 states and counting.
