The study also sheds light on cancer’s strategy for hiding from defenses. Tumor cells increase the production of prostaglandin E2, a lipid substance that blocks the action of monocytes. At the same time, they decrease the production of interferons, proteins that stimulate the immune system. The Vienna group argues that anti-inflammatory drugs that inhibit cyclooxygenase, such as aspirin, are “a promising strategy” to increase the effectiveness of immunotherapy, since they block the production of inflammatory molecules, such as prostaglandin E2.

Interesting as aspirin, acetaminophen, and ibuprofen all inflame the gut to some degree, so although they reduce inflammation in the rest of the body your GI doesn't react well.

Interesting trade off. Amazing development in understanding!

On LineageOS build with no Google Service, download using Tubular/NewPipe/Seal/etc. Play on VLC. Makes for a better privacy experience.

Lots of trouble to build, but worth it. The lack of spam and other spooky things is telling.

The BEP can still accept them, but I'm curious if BofA is actually doing this and if it'll stand up. More FAQ's can be read here

What is considered mutilated currency?

Mutilated currency is currency which has been damaged – to the extent that: (1) one-half or less of the original note remains; or (2) its condition is such that its value is questionable.  Currency notes can become mutilated in any number of ways.  The most common causes are fire, water, chemicals, and explosives; animal, insect, or rodent damage; and petrification or deterioration by burying.

What is not considered mutilated currency?

Unfit currency for redemption is currency which is unfit for further circulation because of its physical condition such as dirty, defaced, limp, torn, or worn.  Unfit currency should not be forwarded to Bureau of Engraving and Printing for redemption, but may be exchanged at commercial financial institutions.

  • "Anyone who thinks they can, needs to have their head examined," he added – a biting direct rebuke of a fellow House Republican.
