I've requested to be permanently self-excluded from LSBet.com in August 2013.
They asked me to send a letter as well as a photograph of myself holding that letter. I did all that as they requested.
A month later - they ALLOWED me to re-open the self-excluded the account by a simple request by chat, no letters, no official email, jut by asking in the chat they allowed me to re-open the account and that caused me massive losses.
I've lost over £20,000 with this provider, and so far all my emails to them were ignored and not handled.
I demand someone from the company to explain the company's wrongdoing and offer a reimbursement accordingly.
I've requested to be permanently self-excluded from LSBet.com in August 2013.

LSbet.com Team
For account closure you asked me to print a letter, sign it, include a photograph of myself holding with the letter and I did all that.
The letter clearly specified that the account should be closed PERMANENTLY without the option of re-opening it.
In addition, you confirmed to me both in writing and in live chat that the account cannot be re-opened.
Later, you broke your own word, you allowed me to re-open the account ... and not even with a letter or anything ... a simple request by chat, without even verifying me!
Where is your sense or responsibility?
You had a "Responsible Gambling" webpage on your website - why have you removed it?
From your chat:
2:21:30 PM: Sheldon:
Done. Your account is closed
Would I be able to re-open it in the future?
2:22:27 PM: Sheldon:
You say "No" but you break your own word, so basically whatever you say is good for nothing!
I will be looking for damages through local lawyers in Curacao against you (Media Entertainment N.V.) and against your license that is registered with the Curacao Gambling Commission - it should be revoked.
By the way
" 9. In case that you have any additional clarifications or need any additional explanations, please do not hesitate to contact us by email."
I have emails sent out to you with no response since September 2013, December 2013 and so forth ... so yes, I can always contact you by email - but I'm sure there won't be any response.
Ironically you did choose to respond here and not by email, in fact my email that was sent out to you before I made this post is still left unanswered, however you did choose to respond here for the first time, I assume because this website is public ...
Not a good sign neither.
I am in touch with a local attorney in Curacao, you should be expecting to receive some information soon.

ComScore has been the most active research firm in searcher behavior studies. This week, it released a study, funded by Google, that offers some amazing stats regarding search. The results show 25 percent of searchers purchased an item directly related to their query. This average was across six categories but wasn't weighted by the relative revenue or popularity of the categories. Diversity of conversion across categories was significant:
|Buyer Conversion for Select Product Categories, November 1-December 31, 2005 (%)
|Category Searched
|Buyer Conversion
|Buyers Converting Offline
|Buyers Converting Online
|Average, all categories
|Apparel and accessories
|Toys and hobbies
|Music, movies, and videos
|Consumer electronics
|Video games and consoles
|Jewelry and watches
|Source: comScore Networks, 2006
The study observed searches and related purchases occurring from November 1 to December 31, 2005. It finds of those 25 percent of buyers, 37 percent completed their purchases online. Therefore, a much greater segment of completed purchases occurred offline (63 percent). (Of course, the question remains whether offline purchase behavior was actually influenced by search and Web interaction or whether the local stores would have received the business anyway.)
In addition to being very bullish on SEM (define) in general, this study offers some major implications on the SEM landscape's likely evolution over the next several years. Pre-product research in many industry categories used to be conducted at the local library, through conversations with friends (seeking recommendations for products), or interacting with the sales staff at the retail location.
Within just 15 years, the Internet has become the dominant source of product information, including pricing. Concurrently, multichannel retailers have joined pure-play Internet retailers in selling products directly. The Web, therefore, has become a glorified catalog that includes reviews, ratings, testimonials, popularity scores, and availability all at the consumer's fingertips.
The comScore study attempts to get at the relative value of search and local stores: "More than 80 percent viewed search as helpful for purchasing gifts, seven in ten claimed search was influential in helping to find gifts and more than three out of five indicated they would be likely to use search the next time they intended to purchase a gift. Search ranked closely with online retail stores as well as friends and family on each of these attributes, and only physical stores exceeded search on each of these attributes."
The overall buyer conversion percentage indicates two things:
- The level of investment the searcher has in making an eventual purchase
- The short window of time between research and purchase
The study doesn't rank the relative conversion types by price or shipping weight/cost, both of which may have been factors. Some shoppers may feel more comfortable purchasing more expensive items locally, or they may choose to purchase expensive items online to get the best price and avoid sales tax. My review of the results, by industry:
- Apparel and accessories. Overall conversion (43 percent) really isn't surprising. Any shopper preparing for the holiday season who's considering clothing is highly likely to make an apparel purchase, online or off-. Yet that 35 percent of those making apparel purchases did so online bodes well for multichannel merchants such as JC Penney, Sears, Target, Wal-Mart, Federated, and Nordstrom. Regardless of where the shopper chooses to purchase, merchants with large retail footprints can potentially influence whether the shopper chooses them or a competitor. More often than ever, apparel Internet pure-plays and catalog merchants are bidding against retailers and multichannel merchants that can leverage multipronged business models.
- Toys and hobbies; video games and consoles. Overall conversion on toys and hobbies is very high at 42 percent (it's the holidays, after all). Yet, online conversion is low at only 12 percent (only video games and consoles had a lower online conversion percentage: 17 percent for overall conversion and 7 percent for online). Several multichannel apparel merchants are also active in the toy and video game categories. Again, search may have the ability to influence which of the retail locations gets the sale, as well as which purchases are consummated online. The hobby industry doesn't have any national retail players to my knowledge, so there may be an opportunity for online merchants to compete with smaller local hobby shops that are just discovering SEM and don't have the budgets for elaborate sites.
- Music, movies, and videos. Music, movies, and videos are making a transition from delayed gratification buys to on-demand media. In 10 years, the offline purchase percentage of 83 percent of buyers, even for gifting purposes, will likely be much lower. In the meantime, retail marketers would be smart to compare their footprints with their competition's and to model search to determine if they can take an unfair share of the 83 percent of buyers who purchased offline.
- Consumer electronics. Like many other categories, consumer electronics has many products that benefit from trial and from the ability to have a tactical, visual, or auditory experience. The experiential nature of consumer electronics will continue to give Best Buy and Circuit City an interesting advantage over the pure-play electronics stores with 84 percent of buyers purchasing offline.
- Jewelry and watches. Perhaps my favorite category within the study, the jewelry category contains two huge barriers to purchase: price and, for the holiday season, risk. Although only 15 percent of those searching for products within this category made purchases, 25 percent made their purchases online. This is surprising, given the high price points within the category and the risk the gift may not meet the recipient's approval. Perhaps as more national chains get into the online business, we'll see these marketers spending more heavily on keywords to reflect the large percentage of offline purchase.
For the next holiday season, we may see a different mix of marketers at the top of the search results as the multichannel and retail marketers recognize the true value of search advertising to their businesses. Or, if those retailers have the only stores in their regions and don't have to worry about losing the offline sale, they may just wait for their customers to walk in with product printouts from their online competition. Time will tell.

My Mother
She carried me the whole nine months inside her loving tummy.
She brought me out into the world I knew her as my mummy
She cared and loved me all these years, her love was never small.
She listened to me when times were bad and helped me stand up tall.
An unconditional love I have that only she can give.
My mother is my best friend and who makes me glad to live.
Without my mother I would be lost and always on my one.
But knowing that she loves me so, means im never far from home.
Im lucky that I have her, and she makes me safe and sound.
Her guiding hand has helped me keep my feet upon the ground.
We have always been together mum , were never far away.
I love you oh so very much, I tell you every day.
I love you mum

Interaction between the septum and the left (right) ventricular free wall in order to evaluate the effects on coronary blood flow: Numerical simulation
de Lazzari C.,R.O.S.A. |
de Lazzari C.,National Institute of Cardiovascular Research
Computer Methods in Biomechanics and Biomedical Engineering | Year: 2012
Mathematical modelling of the cardiovascular system (CVS) can help in understanding the complex interactions between both the ventricles and the septum. By describing the behaviour of the left (right) ventricular free wall, atria and septum using the variable elastance models, it is possible to reproduce their interactions. By relating the mechanical properties of both atria and both ventricles to the electrocardiogram (ECG) signal, it is possible to analyse the effects produced by different ECG delay on haemodynamic parameters. In the cardiovascular field, the incorrect interactions between septum and both ventricular free walls are based on many pathological conditions, i.e. symptomatic heart failure resulting from systolic dysfunction, ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy, and so on. The possible corrections that can be induced on the QRS complex duration in the ECG signal (i.e. cardiac resynchronisation therapy, CRT) can produce benefits improving the clinical status of the patient. The aim of this work was to evaluate, using our numerical simulator of the CVS, the effects induced on coronary blood flow (CBF) and aortic pressure using different ECG times, intra-ventricular and inter-ventricular delays. The results were obtained by reproducing the circulatory baseline and CRT conditions of seven patients described in literature. Haemodynamic simulated results are in accordance with literature data. Also the controversial results on CBF, in presence of CRT, are consistent with those described in the literature. © 2012 Copyright Taylor and Francis Group, LLC. Source

Nutrition, Metabolism and Cardiovascular Diseases | Year: 2016
Background and aims: Obesity is often associated with an increased cardiovascular risk. The food industry and the associated research activities focus on formulating products that are a perfect mix between an adequate fat content and health. We evaluated whether a diet enriched with Bio-Oil Spread (SD), an olive oil-based innovative food, is cardioprotective in the presence of high-fat diet (HFD)-dependent obesity. Methods and Results: Rats were fed for 16 weeks with normolipidic diet (ND; fat: 6.2%), HFD (fat: 42%), and ND enriched with SD (6.2% of fat + 35.8% of SD). Metabolic and anthropometric parameters were measured. Heart and liver structures were analyzed by histochemical examination. Ischemic susceptibility was evaluated on isolated and Langendorff-perfused cardiac preparations. Signaling was assessed by Western blotting. Compared to ND rats, HFD rats showed increased body weight and abdominal obesity, dyslipidemia, and impaired glucose tolerance. Morphological analyses showed that HFD is associated with heart and liver modifications (hypertrophy and steatosis, respectively), lesser evident in the SD group, together with metabolic and anthropometric alterations. In particular, IGF-1R immunodetection revealed a reduction of hypertrophy in SD heart sections. Notably, SD diet significantly reduced myocardial susceptibility against ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) with respect to HFD through the activation of survival signals (Akt, ERK1/2, and Bcl2). Systolic and diastolic performance was preserved in the SD group. Conclusions: We suggest that SD may contribute to the prevention of metabolic disorders and cardiovascular alterations typical of severe obesity induced by an HFD, including the increased ischemic susceptibility of the myocardium. Our results pave the way to evaluate the introduction of SD in human alimentary guidelines as a strategy to reduce saturated fat intake. © 2016 The Italian Society of Diabetology, the Italian Society for the Study of Atherosclerosis, the Italian Society of Human Nutrition, and the Department of Clinical Medicine and Surgery, Federico II University.

Cardiac and hepatic role of r-AtHSP70: Basal effects and protection against ischemic and sepsis conditions

Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine | Year: 2015
Heat shock proteins (HSPs), highly conserved in all organisms, act as molecular chaperones activated by several stresses. The HSP70 class of stress-induced proteins is the most studied subtype in cardiovascular and inflammatory disease. Because of the high similarity between plant and mammalian HSP70, the aim of this work was to evaluate whether recombinant HSP70 of plant origin (r-AtHSP70) was able to protect rat cardiac and hepatic function under ischemic and sepsis conditions. We demonstrated for the first time that, in ex vivo isolated and perfused rat heart, exogenous r-AtHSP70 exerted direct negative inotropic and lusitropic effects via Akt/endothelial nitric oxide synthase pathway, induced post-conditioning cardioprotection via Reperfusion Injury Salvage Kinase and Survivor Activating Factor Enhancement pathways, and did not cause hepatic damage. In vivo administration of r-AtHSP70 protected both heart and liver against lipopolysaccharide-dependent sepsis, as revealed by the reduced plasma levels of interleukin-1β, tumour necrosis factor alpha, aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase. These results suggest exogenous r-AtHSP70 as a molecular modulator able to protect myocardial function and to prevent cardiac and liver dysfunctions during inflammatory conditions. © 2015 The Authors.

Acta Physiologica | Year: 2015
Recent cardiovascular research showed that, together with β1- and β2-adrenergic receptors (ARs), β3-ARs contribute to the catecholamine (CA)-dependent control of the heart. β3-ARs structure, function and ligands were investigated in mammals because of their applicative potential in human cardiovascular diseases. Only recently, the concept of a β3-AR-dependent cardiac modulation was extended to non-mammalian vertebrates, although information is still scarce and fragmentary. β3-ARs were structurally described in fish, showing a closer relationship to mammalian β1-AR than β2-AR. Functional β3-ARs are present in the cardiac tissue of teleosts and amphibians. As in mammals, activation of these receptors elicits a negative modulation of the inotropic performance through the involvement of the endothelium endocardium (EE), Gi/0 proteins and the nitric oxide (NO) signalling. This review aims to comparatively analyse data from literature on β3-ARs in mammals, with those on teleosts and amphibians. The purpose is to highlight aspects of uniformity and diversity of β3-ARs structure, ligands activity, function and signalling cascades throughout vertebrates. This may provide new perspectives aimed to clarify the biological relevance of β3-ARs in the context of the nervous and humoral control of the heart and its functional plasticity. © 2015 Scandinavian Physiological Society.

Full-length human chromogranin-A cardioactivity: Myocardial, coronary, and stimulus-induced processing evidence in normotensive and hypertensive male rat hearts

Endocrinology | Year: 2013
Plasma chromogranin-A (CgA) concentrations correlate with severe cardiovascular diseases, whereas CgAderived vasostatin-I and catestatin elicit cardiosuppression via an antiadrenergic/nitric oxide-cGMP mediated mechanism. Whether these phenomena are related is unknown.Wehere investigated whether and to what extent full-length CgA directly influences heart performance and may be subjected to stimuluselicited intracardiac processing. Using normotensive and hypertensive rats,weevaluated the following: 1) direct myocardial and coronary effects of full-length CgA; 2) the signal-transduction pathway involved in its action mechanism; and 3) CgA intracardiac processing after β-adrenergic [isoproterenol (Iso)]- and endothelin-1(ET-1)-dependent stimulation. The study was performed by using a Langendorff perfusion apparatus, Western blotting, affinity chromatography, and ELISA.Wefound that CgA (1-4 nM) dilated coronaries and induced negative inotropism and lusitropism, which disappeared at higher concentrations (10-16 nM). In spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs), negative inotropism and lusitropism were more potent than inyoungnormotensive rats.Wefound that perfusion itself, Iso-,andendothelin-1 stimulation induced intracardiac CgA processing in low-molecular-weight fragments in young, Wistar Kyoto, and SHR rats. In young normotensive and adult hypertensive rats, CgA increased endothelial nitric oxide synthase phosphorylation and cGMP levels. Analysis of the perfusate from both Wistar rats and SHRs of untreated and treated (Iso) hearts revealed CgA absence. In conclusion, in normotensive and hypertensive rats, we evidenced the following: 1) full-lengthCgAdirectly affects myocardial and coronary function by AkT/nitric oxide synthase/nitric oxide/cGMP/protein kinase G pathway; and 2) the heart generates intracardiac CgA fragments in response to hemodynamic and excitatory challenges. For the first time at the cardiovascular level, our data provide a conceptual link between systemic and intracardiac actions of full-length CgA and its fragments, expanding the knowledge on the sympathochromaffin/CgA axis under normal and physiopathological conditions.

Real Madrid have identified Rafael Benítez, rather than Jos? Mourinho, as the leading candidate to become their new coach and are planning to lure him from Liverpool by making an offer that they believe he cannot refuse. With the Spaniard unsettled at Anfield, as he awaits reassurances from Liverpool's new American owners, Real believe that they can tempt him back to his native Madrid by offering greater control than any other coach has had at the Bernab?u.
Benítez rejected an approach from Real 12 months ago, partly because his misgivings about the regime that was taking shape in Madrid, but

LOS ANGELES, July 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- DreamWorks Animation announced today that Academy Award(R)-winning actress Angelina Jolie will join Jack Black, Jackie Chan, Lucy Liu, Dustin Hoffman and Ian McShane in the cast of the computer-animated comedy "Kung Fu Panda." The film will reunite Jolie and Black after having voiced lead characters together in the hit 2004 animated comedy, "Shark Tale."
Jolie will play Tigress, a martial arts master who joins in training Black's Po the Panda in the art of kung fu. Coming off the blockbuster hit "Mr. & Mrs. Smith," Jolie recently completed work on "The Good Shepherd," slated for release later this year, and is currently working on the Robert Zemeckis directed "Beowulf," which will be released in late 2007. She is represented by Media Talent Group.
"Kung Fu Panda" features Jack Black as Po the Panda, a lowly waiter in a noodle restaurant, who is a kung fu fanatic but whose shape doesn't exactly lend itself to kung fu fighting. In fact, Po's defining characteristic appears to be that he is the laziest of all the animals in ancient China. That's a problem because powerful enemies are at the gates, and all hopes have been pinned on a prophesy naming Po as the "Chosen One" to save the day. A group of martial arts masters are going to need a black belt in patience if they are going to turn this slacker panda into a kung fu fighter before it's too late.
Slated for release in May 2008, "Kung Fu Panda" is being directed by John Stevenson and Mark Osborne and produced by Melissa Cobb.
DreamWorks Animation SKG (NYSE: DWA) is principally devoted to developing and producing computer-generated, or CG-animated, feature films.

I have an old second hand Trek bicycle that I'd like to bring with me on the plane into Kenya. I'm not sure how the tax duty would work, how will customs know the value of the bike to calculate this? I bought it for pennies and don't want to pay a huge amount in duty as the bike is worth very little money. Anyone shed some light on this?
Many thanks.

Two Major Historical Theories of Ethics: 1.) Consequentialist: based on or concerned with consequences. (also called "teleological" theories) 2.) Nonconsequentialist: not based on or concerned with consequences. We will start with "Consequentialist" theories: A. Ethical Egoism B. Utilitarianism Ethical Egoism: Human beings ought to act in their own self-interest. Both of these theories agree that human beings ought to behave in ways that will bring about good consequences. Utilitarianism: Human beings ought to act in the interests of all concerned. In order to clarify these theories step-by-step, we will recall the famous "slashed tires" scenario.
ETHICAL EGOISM: Individual Ethical Egoism: "Everyone ought to act in MY self-interest. Personal Ethical Egoism: "I ought to act in MY OWN self-interest (but I make no claims as to what other people ought to do). Universal Ethical Egoism: "Everyone should always act in his or her own self-interest, regardless of the interests of others." * Can you imagine why individual and personal ethical egoism might be problematic as ethical systems? * Individualistic morality is not a moral system; there is no general applicability. * Indeed, if you were to state publically ("promulgation") your claims towards self-interest, you would probably create hostile relations! * How "moral" can a system be if it cannot be laid out for others to see? * In an ethically develop society, human beings cannot be isolated from one another.
Universal Ethical Egoism concerns not simply what I should do but what ALL humans should do if they want to be moral. Essentially, they should always act in their own self-interest. "What?!" you may gasp. "That would result in chaos!" But the assumption made by proponents is that—if all people were to act "rationally" in their own self-interest—they would inevitably create a better society. Does this sound familiar? A similar philosophy was used to justify a fairly well-known economic system…. The philosopher: Adam Smith His idea: "the invisible hand." The economic system: Capitalism.
Can you imagine possible weaknesses to Universal Ethical Egoism? * It seems pretty likely that self-interests will not always coincide, so how does one resolve disputes between differing interests? * There is also the risk that even rational people will recognize another's right to action on self-interest while hoping that individual will not act accordingly. (There is a logical tension here.) However, the certainty of self-interest is attractive (i.e., instead of examining complicated abstract formulas and rules, one simply must ask what is best for him/herself. And yet, in the end, this form of Egoism suffers from its failure to account for the interests and good of others. Justice and compromise play no role here, and in such a universe, one is likely to come out better than another.
Some of you may be familiar with the most famous proponent of Universal Ethical Egoism? Ayn Rand (1905-1982) called this "Rational Ethical Egoism." Rand wrote Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead. Rand believed that the self-interests of rational people would never conflict—they would come to the same (or at least harmonious) conclusions. However, this claim is easily (and historically) refuted.
Utilitarianism: "Everyone should perform that act or follow that moral rule that will bring about the greatest good (or happiness) for everyone concerned." Original proponents: Jeremy Bentham (1748-1832) John Stuart Mill (1806-1873) "Utility" means "usefulness." 2 types of Utilitarianism: ACT Utilitarianism & RULE Utilitarianism.
Act Utilitarianism: "Everyone should perform that act which will bring about the greatest amount of good over bad for everyone affected by the act." (One does not set up "rules," because each situation and each person are different.) For Act Utilitarianism, there can be no absolute rules, even against killing, stealing, cheating, and so forth. Can you imagine any problems with Act Utilitarianism as a moral system? * Again, there is no "system." There is no structure to provide guidance. * It is difficult to know with certainty the consequences of actions—and whether they will be "good" consequences for others. * Thiroux notes that beginning anew with each situation is impractical. We do not have time to start from scratch when confronted with a new moral problem. * Indeed, can anyone truly be said to "start from scratch"—isn't every decision informed by prior decisions or unstated rules?
* Also, how do we educate the young and uninformed if there are no rules for guidance? Rule Utilitarianism: "Everyone should always establish and follow that rule or rules that will bring about the greatest good for all concerned." There is a presumption, as Thiroux puts it, that "it is foolish and dangerous to leave moral actions up to individuals without providing them with some guidance and without trying to establish some sort of stability and moral order in society." Can you imagine the potential problems with Rule Utilitarianism? * If it is difficult to know consequences with a single act in a single situation, how in the world do we assess the consequences of all actions and situations covered by a particular rule? * Would we be better off without rules?
Some final objections to Utilitarian theories: * Securing the greatest good for the greatest number may have some pretty bad consequences for the minority. * Admittedly, in a disaster situation, you want doctors to concentrate on patients who have a chance of survival….,,,but is it justifiable to do fatal experiments on 10 children in order to save 10,000 children from cancer? (an extreme example, but still…) * In other words, do the "ends justify the means"? And who among us is qualified to make that determination? * Is it possible that all individual lives are an end unto themselves—no less valuable than a collection of lives? * Is it possible that consequences or end should not be the primary concern in ethical decision making? Could the means and/or motives be equally important?

Steadfast® Equine by Arenus® is designed to support performance and longevity in horses. This joint health product contains two exclusive ingredients, Natural Eggshell Membrane® (NEM®) and TêlaFIRM®, which work in combination to provide optimal maintenance for healthy joints while also supporting strong and healthy bones, tendons and ligaments.
NEM is the thin membrane located on the inside of an eggshell. This membrane is a naturally occurring matrix of many joint and structural support components found as manufactured ingredients in other supplements. In NEM, these components stem from a natural protein source, meaning they are well digested and can be fully utilized by your horse. In a human study evaluating NEM use in the treatment of chronic pain associated with knee and hip osteoarthritis, patients reported significant improvement in both pain and stiffness within 10 days.
TêlaFIRM offers your horse the benefit of highly advanced, production animal research. This proprietary, double-chelated trace mineral system was developed to address the chronic, structural breakdown issues experienced within the industry and it succeeded. TêlaFIRM has been linked to profound clinical benefits, such as increased bone breaking strength, decreased tendon, ligament and cartilage pathology and decreased incidence of synovitis. The organic formulation ensures resistance to the stomach's acidic environment, providing safe passage to the hindgut and optimizing absorption.
Steadfast Equine formula has been utilized in multiple research studies demonstrating its effectiveness in both the prevention and treatment of osteoarthritis and lameness by reducing pain, inflammation and the degradation of cartilage associated with these conditions. No other equine joint supplement available offers the unique formulation and scientific backing of Steadfast Equine.
Two 25 gram packets provide: 3,750 mg TêlaFirm®, 3,000 mg NEM®, 2,040 mg calcium, 1,890 mg phosphorus, 1,000 mg ascorbic Acid, 20 mg biotin, 1,000 IU vitamin D3. 60 packets powder (60-day).
Premier product - this product is not eligible for any discounts off the purchase price.
Active Ingredients: (per (2) 25 gram packets) TêlaFIRM® - 3750 mg, NEM® - 3000 mg, Calcium (as Dicalcium Phosphate) - 2040 mg, Phosphorus - 1890 mg, Ascorbic Acid - 1000 mg, Biotin - 20 mg, Vitamin D3 - 1000 IU
Inctive Ingredients: Alfalfa meal, dried molasses, flax seed oil, mineral oil, mixed tocopherols, rosemary extract.
Feeding Directions for Adult Horse:Orally administer one (1) packet daily per 1100 lbs. of body weight.
Loading Period:Orally administer two (2) packets daily per 1100 lbs. of body weight for 2-4 weeks.
Cautions:As with any health product, it is recommended you consult with your veterinarian before administering. If condition worsens or does not improve, stop product administration and consult your veterinarian immediately.
Warnings:For use in horses and other equids only. Keep out of the reach of children and other animals. In case of accidental overdose, contact a health professional immediately. This product should not be given to animals intended for human consumption. This product contains egg and soy products.

I am writing on behalf of the National Mental Health Association (NMHA) in response to the article titled "Off-label Prescribing Among Office-Based Physicians" by Radley et al.1
As an organization, NMHA is concerned with the inappropriate prescribing of medications; however, we are also concerned about the potential to conclude from the study by Radley et al,1 that all off-label prescribing is inappropriate. The study's conclusion that off-label use of medications lacks rigorous scientific scrutiny has strong implications and could lead to a false assumption about the usefulness of off-label prescribing.
Bright JL. Positive Outcomes Through the Appropriate Use of Off-Label Prescribing. Arch Intern Med. 2006;166(22):2554-2555. doi:10.1001/archinte.166.22.2554-b

Make tile, checking of texture seamless online
Select a picture on your computer or phone and then click OK. Other settings already installed by default.
Examples of textures that are processed with the default settings: (you can turn off the red noughts)
Red stripes or the sights are superimposed in order to visually indicate seams or joints of the texture, that is to check seamlessness of the texture. If they are not needed or you just need to make the effect of the tiles, they can be optionally switched off by specifying «No» in the option «Mark seams or edges of the image».
If texture after visual checking is not seamless, then at this website you can automatically try to make a seamless texture in several ways and optionally with a preliminary alignment the brightness of the image.
The original image is not changed. You will get other processed image.

SiliconExpert's database, containing data on millions of components, reveals that nearly 25% of electronic parts contain at least one of the four minerals. Has your company completed its due diligence on conflict mineral reporting? Below is a breakdown of the most commonly asked questions about conflict minerals reporting and their answers.
What are Conflict Minerals?
Conflict minerals are organic minerals mined in conditions of armed conflict and human rights abuses, most notably in the eastern provinces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). The most commonly mined conflict minerals are cassiterite (for tin), wolframite (for tungsten), coltan (for tantalum), and gold ore. These four minerals, known as 3TG minerals, are extracted from the Eastern Congo and passed through a variety of intermediaries before being purchased by multinational electronics companies.
What are common applications of 3TG Minerals?
3TG minerals could appear in a wide variety of products and devices, including apparel, fashion accessories, watches, eyeglasses, metallized yarns, consumer electronics, batteries, LED lights, solar panels, laboratory equipment, welding tools, dental fillings, and connectors.
The type of mineral determines which product or device it could be used in. For example, tin, or derivatives of tin, are often used in outdoor equipment such as tent poles and as solder in watches and eyeglasses, while gold is often found in zippers and other metal components, or as a composite material in or on jewelry.
What is the Dodd-Frank Act, specifically Section 1502?
The United States Dodd-Frank Act, Section 1502, is landmark legislation that requires manufacturing companies to understand and disclose the use of minerals mined in or around the DRC. This Act requires manufacturing companies to identify and disclose to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) the source of 3TG minerals used in their products when those minerals originate from or nearby the DRC.
The rule calls for civil penalties against any company knowingly making a misleading or false statement. Outside of legal implications of not complying, issuers may face pressure from nongovernmental organizations, human rights activists, and consumer or other market forces to prove they are conflict-free.
Currently there is nothing that specifically addresses the applicability to intermediate chemical processes using chemicals that contain conflict minerals. There is no minimum content threshold for reporting or auditing requirements.
How has the SEC's conflict minerals rule evolved?
The SEC's conflict minerals rules require public companies to disclose all information relating to conflict minerals contained in their products. For the calendar year of 2015, companies subject to this rule must file a Form SD with the SEC by May 31, 2016. Previously, issuers were permitted to describe their products as "DRC conflict undeterminable" in the Form SD if they couldn't determine the source and chain of custody of conflict minerals in a product, or whether the conflict minerals in the product financed or benefitted armed groups in those regions.
Issuers using the "DRC conflict undeterminable" designation were required to file a Conflict Minerals Report (CMR), but were not required to obtain an Independent Private Sector Audit (IPSA) to assess the minerals' due diligence process employed by the issuer.
Beginning with Forms SD filed in 2016 with respect to the calendar year of 2015, issuers will no longer be permitted to use the "DRC conflict undeterminable" determination.
As of 2016, issuers must file a CMR as an exhibit to Form SD if they are not a smaller reporting company and are unable to determine that the conflict minerals contained in their products did not originate in the DRC or an adjoining country, while not directly or indirectly financing or benefitting armed groups. As a result of a 2014 court decision, the SEC advised that issuers are not required to describe their products as "DRC conflict free" or having "not been found to be 'DRC conflict free.'"
Conflict minerals and the covered countries in the rule align with those identified by the U.S. State Department. This means if the State Department modifies its list of conflict minerals or covered countries, the U.S. SEC rule will automatically follow suit. Under the U.S. Conflict Minerals Law, additional minerals may be added in the future.
Alternative Sources of 3TG Minerals
The percentage of the global supply of the 3TG coming from the Congo is relatively small, from 1% to 12%, for most minerals. Tantalum is temporarily much higher, with 30% coming from the Congo, due to suspended production in Australia, the largest supplier of this mineral.
Alternative sources of these minerals include:
The rule does not ban or boycott Congolese minerals, but encourages conflict-free mineral supplies from the Congo through the development of tracing and auditing practices. To determine if the minerals in a product originate from the DRC or a neighboring country, a "reasonable country of origin inquiry" must be conducted. This analysis must be reasonably designed, and if the company knows the minerals do not originate in the region of the Congo, or the minerals are from recycled sources, a new form (Form SD for "Specialized Disclosures") must be completed. In this case, companies will have to describe the steps that were taken to try to find out the origin of materials. A full Conflict Mineral Report does not have to be submitted to the SEC.
Will you need to submit an annual conflict minerals report?
The answer depends on two critical concepts. First, are you required to file reports with the SEC? Second, are conflict minerals necessary to the production of the product(s) you manufacture? If both are true statements, your company is responsible for filing an annual conflict materials report.

2.2: Round and Round She Goes
This activity is intended to supplement Trigonometry, Chapter 1, Lesson 7.
Time Required: 20 minutes
Activity Overview
In this activity, students will explore relationships on the unit circle. Students will identify coordinates of points given an angle measure in degrees.
Topic: Unit Circle
- Right triangle trigonometry and the unit circle
- Special right triangles
- Cosine and sine on the unit circle
Teacher Preparation and Notes
- The first problem and second problem engage students in the exploration of the connection between angle measure and the coordinates of points in the first quadrant.
Associated Materials
- Student Worksheet: Round and Round She Goes http://www.ck12.org/flexr/chapter/9699, scroll down to the second activity.
Problem 1 – Introduction to the Unit Circle
Students are introduced to the concept of the unit circle. Right triangle relationships are explored to develop an understanding of the patterns involved.
Special right triangles are addressed to help students understand the exact values they will likely be expected to know.
Problem 2 – Extending the Pattern
Students use a visual model to extend what they established in Quadrant I to Quadrants II, III, and IV.
It is very helpful for students to think about symmetry as they move on to these other quadrants. Construction of rectangles in the unit circle is helpful for many students to make this extension.

I know we'd have to add a > mutex around the select+(read|write), but is there something else? If you split the pollset into 'n' sections and have 'n' threads each handling reads or writes on one section of it, it can be hard to balance the load. Some threads will end up with very active connections, while others will have mostly idle connections. The alternative is to have 'n' threads that take turns handling the entire pollset. That doesn't offer as much concurrency, so I'm not sure if it's worth the extra complexity. But it would be easy to test. > > * Can we eliminate the listener thread?

The real reason I don't like the mutex around the poll is that it would add too much latency if we had to wait for the current poll to complete before adding a new descriptor. When the Listener accepts a new connection, or a Request Processor creates a new response brigade, it needs to get the corresponding socket added to the pollset immediately, which really requires interrupting the current poll.
