Glaucoma is a group of eye disorders leading to progressive damage to the optic nerve, and is characterized by loss of nerve tissue resulting in loss of vision. The optic nerve is a bundle of about one million individual nerve fibers and transmits the visual signals from the eye to the brain. The most common form of glaucoma, primary open-angle glaucoma, is associated with an increase in the fluid pressure inside the eye. This increase in pressure may cause progressive damage to the optic nerve and loss of nerve fibers. Vision loss may result. Advanced glaucoma may even cause blindness. Not everyone with high eye pressure will develop glaucoma, and many people with normal eye pressure will develop glaucoma. When the pressure inside an eye is too high for that particular optic nerve, whatever that pressure measurement may be, glaucoma will develop.
Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness in the U.S. It most often occurs in people over age 40, although a congenital or infantile form of glaucoma exists. People with a family history of glaucoma, African Americans over the age of 40, and Hispanics over the age of 60 are at an increased risk of developing glaucoma. Other risk factors include thinner corneas, chronic eye inflammation, and using medications that increase the pressure in the eyes.
The most common form of glaucoma, primary open-angle glaucoma, develops slowly and usually without any symptoms. Many people do not become aware they have the condition until significant vision loss has occurred. It initially affects peripheral or side vision, but can advance to central vision loss. If left untreated, glaucoma can lead to significant loss of vision in both eyes, and may even lead to blindness.
A less common type of glaucoma, acute angle closure glaucoma, usually occurs abruptly due to a rapid increase of pressure in the eye. Its symptoms may include severe eye pain, nausea, redness in the eye, seeing colored rings around lights, and blurred vision. This condition is an ocular emergency, and medical attention should be sought immediately, as severe vision loss can occur quickly.
Glaucoma cannot currently be prevented, but if diagnosed and treated early it can usually be controlled. Medication or surgery can slow or prevent further vision loss. However, vision already lost to glaucoma cannot be restored. That is why the American Optometric Association recommends an annual dilated eye examination for people at risk for glaucoma as a preventive eye care measure. Depending on your specific condition, your doctor may recommend more frequent examinations.
There are many types of glaucoma and many theories about the causes of glaucoma. The exact cause is unknown. Although the disease is usually associated with an increase in the fluid pressure inside the eye, other theories include lack of adequate blood supply to the nerve.
Primary open-angle glaucoma – This is the most common form of glaucoma. One theory is that glaucoma is thought to develop when the eye's drainage system becomes inefficient over time. This leads to an increased amount of fluid and a gradual buildup of pressure within the eye. Other theories of the cause of the optic nerve damage include poor perfusion, or blood flow, to the optic nerve. Damage to the optic nerve is slow and painless and a large portion of vision can be lost before vision problems are noticed. Other theories also exist.
Angle-closure glaucoma – This type of glaucoma, also called closed-angle glaucoma or narrow angle glaucoma, is a less common form of the disease. It is a medical emergency that can cause vision loss within a day of its onset.
It occurs when the drainage angle in the eye (formed by the cornea and the iris) closes or becomes blocked. Many people who develop this type of glaucoma have a very narrow drainage angle. With age, the lens in the eye becomes larger, pushing the iris forward and narrowing the space between the iris and the cornea. As this angle narrows, the aqueous fluid is blocked from exiting through the drainage system, resulting in a buildup of fluid and an increase in eye pressure.
Angle-closure glaucoma can be chronic (progressing gradually) or acute (appearing suddenly). The acute form occurs when the iris completely blocks the drainage of the aqueous fluid. In people with a narrow drainage angle, if their pupils become dilated, the angle may close and cause a sudden increase in eye pressure. Although an acute attack often affects only one eye, the other eye may be at risk of an attack as well.
Secondary glaucoma – This type of glaucoma occurs as a result of an injury or other eye disease. It may be caused by a variety of medical conditions, medications, physical injuries, and eye abnormalities. Infrequently, eye surgery can be associated with secondary glaucoma.
Normal-tension glaucoma – In this form of glaucoma, eye pressure remains within what is considered to be the "normal" range, but the optic nerve is damaged nevertheless. Why this happens is unknown.
It is possible that people with low-tension glaucoma may have an abnormally sensitive optic nerve or a reduced blood supply to the optic nerve caused by a condition such as atherosclerosis, a hardening of the arteries. Under these circumstances even normal pressure on the optic nerve may be enough to cause damage.
Certain factors can increase the risk for developing glaucoma. They include:
Glaucoma is diagnosed through a comprehensive eye examination. To establish a diagnosis of glaucoma, several factors must be present: Because glaucoma is a progressive disease, meaning it worsens over time, a change in the appearance of the optic nerve, a loss of nerve tissue, and a corresponding loss of vision confirm the diagnosis. Some optic nerves have a suspicious appearance, resembling nerves with glaucoma, but the patients may have no other risk factors or signs of glaucoma. These patients should be closely followed with routine comprehensive exams to monitor for change.
Testing includes:
The treatment of glaucoma is aimed at reducing intraocular pressure. The most common first line treatment of glaucoma is usually prescription eye drops that must be taken regularly. In some cases, systemic medications, laser treatment, or other surgery may be required. While there is no cure as yet for glaucoma, early diagnosis and continuing treatment can preserve eyesight.
Acute angle-closure glaucoma is a medical emergency. Several medications can be used to reduce eye pressure as quickly as possible. A laser procedure called laser peripheral iridotomy will also likely be performed. In this procedure, a laser beam creates a small hole in the iris to allow aqueous fluid to flow more freely into the front chamber of the eye where it then has access to the meshwork for drainage.
There is no cure for glaucoma. Patients with glaucoma need to continue treatment for the rest of their lives. Because the disease can progress or change silently, compliance with eye medications and eye examinations are essential, as treatment may need to be adjusted periodically.
By keeping eye pressure under control, continued damage to the optic nerve and continued loss of your visual field may slow or stop. The optometrist may focus on lowering the intraocular pressure to a level that is least likely to cause further optic nerve damage. This level is often referred to as the target pressure and will probably be a range rather than a single number. Target pressure differs for each person, depending on the extent of the damage and other factors. Target pressure may change over the course of a lifetime. Newer medications are always being developed to help in the fight against glaucoma.
Early detection, prompt treatment and regular monitoring can help to control glaucoma and therefore reduce the chances of progression vision loss.
[…] Glaucoma is a condition that occurs when fluid pressure inside the eye rises to a point where the optic nerve is damaged. Because glaucoma develops gradually and painlessly, it can destroy vision without a person knowing it. […]

For those of you who don't know, during WWII the Army Airforce plane crews had to fly 50 missions before they could go home. Imagine, if you will, every time it was your turn to put on your gear to go on another mission. What would it bring?
Was he scared?
"Yes. Very! Every time you went over a target you were scared. Even when we took off and had that much of a load. We had a lot of planes that didn't make it off the ground and blew up at the end of the runway."
An engineer gunner on a B-24, he did training in the states, first Charleston, South Carolina, and then Langley AFB, Hampton Roads, Virginia.
"We got to fly to Cuba and stay overnight, flying over the water for training over water flights. Cuba at that time, was beautiful. You could go any place and have anything you wanted. At that time you couldn't buy silk hose or chewing gum in the U.S. We could get any of that down there plus stuff from Japan and Germany. It was fun and educational."
At Langley, Clarence was part of a crew flying the people who were testing the bomb sites before his crew was sent overseas, based in Lecce, Italy.
"We ended up on a brand new maiden voyage ship - a B-24," Clarence said. "When we dropped bombs it was strictly pickle barrel. When the lead place bombardier dropped his bombs, everybody else dropped their bombs. There was only one bomb site and that was designated by the lead plane. If you hit it, you hit it. If you didn't, you didn't. Today, it's one bomb and that's it!"
His stint of 50 missions was over in six months.
"Our pilot was lead pilot so we always had an extra navigator or bombardier. That left a nose gunner available for the upper turret and I flew strictly as an engineer. I did fly a gun once in a while."
It was that last mission out that probably scared him the most.
"I was supposed to fly with our co-pilot but they came and got me as a trainer for a brand new crew to fly on their first mission. We had Tail End Charlie plane which is always the worst plane. We were the last plane in the box of seven. That's when I was scared. I'll admit it," he said, his lips turned up.
"Today it's all together different. We knew who we were fighting and it seemed the American people were all behind us at that time. They couldn't do enough for you. People aren't as supportive these days."
It turned out it was on the ground that was the most damaging for him. Along with 70 percent of his outfit, he contracted Hepatitis C and was in the hospital for six weeks. It was the Hep C that led him into another career. But first - getting home.
Perhaps the fear he felt was because his one and only was waiting back home for him and he wanted to get there safe and sound.
"I was stationed at the airbase in Lincoln. My buddy and I went in to get some ice cream at the hotel coffee shop. It was so crowded there wasn't any place to sit. We saw two young ladies sitting in a booth, approached them and asked if we could sit with them. We were in uniform - had to back in those days. They said yes. I sat with Floy and the other fellow sat with the other gal. I married Floy, the love of my life, on December 4, he married the other gal five days later," he said, with a hearty laugh.
Returning home from the war, Floy and Clarence moved to a farm and he began his lifelong dream - becoming a farmer. However, the jolting work riding the equipment and the farm chemicals brought up physical problems.
"We were farming and ranching, had over 100 head of stock cows. Floy took care of them when I was in the Vet Hospital. It's the only year we had 100 percent calf drop!" Clarence said, laughing merrily.
Reluctantly leaving the farm, his brother headed him into the Post Office, which happened to be hiring veterans. Spending the rest of his career with the U.S. Postal Service, they still had one more career to add to their resume.
After raising their three children, their five bedroom house was mighty empty.
"We just decided maybe we needed to take care of some more kids. We got into foster care. We had one for five years and kept in touch with him until we moved down here full time in 2006."
He was the one who had been in a car wreck with his mother and he went out through the windshield, disabling his left side for life. His mother ran off with another fellow and left her four kids behind.
"Nobody wanted him as a foster child. He had a little bit of a learning problem but not bad - he just needed extra help. He was one of those who went out for track - always the last man in but he finished. He always finished."
"Another little boy we had for about three years. He was a real character. One time a neighbor and Floy were picking tomatoes from Floy's large garden. He was sitting in the pickup. They'd bring in their baskets and his job was to put the tomatoes in a larger bushel basket. After a bit they noticed every time he moved a tomato, he'd take a bite out of it before putting it in the big basket!"
"He loved tomatoes," Floy said, chuckling happily.
Countless other foster children came and went. Then it was time to retire.
"We started coming down here in �82 when I retired. We put 100,000 miles on two different motor homes seeing various states of the union. We've been to Alaska twice, Australia, New Zealand, and Mexico."
"We were very fortunate. We think God took care of us," he said with a contented sigh.
Now they work at staying healthy. Clarence, at 91, works out on the bowflex machine and lifts weights daily, while Floy, 88, finishes on the treadmill.
"We used to volunteer for the Salvation Army the first few years we were here. We'd ride bikes along the canal. We had fun," he said. "We still have fun."

I did one of these "top posts" roundups last year and it was really fun for me to see what was the most popular with all of you on the interwebs. As 2015 drew to a close, I was highly anticipating this moment so I could see what truly came out on top. I'm a numbers and charts kind of person, so I love looking at stats and data and all that stuff. Some highlights in my mind were the super fun Feast of St. Pizza post (where myself and a bunch of friends visited 10 pizza places in one day in my hometown of Lebanon, PA), talking about my wedding (and sharing my wedding cake recipe), plus my honeymoon (parts one and two, which included a recipe for the amazing kouign amann pastry from France), and let's not forget about the #virtualpumpkinparty (more on that below).

Sm-Nd, K-Ar and petrologic study of some kimberlites from eastern United States and their implication for mantle evolution
Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology
By: A. R. Basu, E. Rubury, H. Mehnert, and M. Tatsumoto

- Download citation as: RIS | Dublin Core
We provide new data on Sm-Nd systematics, K-Ar dating and the major element chemistry of kimberlites from the eastern United States (mostly from central New York State) and their constituent mineral phases of olivine, clinopyroxene, garnet, phlogopite and perovskite. In addition, we report Nd-isotopes in a few kimberlites from South Africa, Lesotho and from the eastern part of China. The major element compositions of the New York dike rocks and of their constituent minerals including a xenolith of eclogite are comparable with those from the Kimberley area in South Africa. The K-Ar age of emplacement of the New York dikes is further established to be 143 Ma. We have analyzed the Nd-isotopic composition of the following kimberlites and related rocks: Nine kimberlite pipes from South Africa and Lesotho, two from southern India; one from the U.S.S.R., fifteen kimberlite pipes and related dike rocks from eastern and central U.S. and two pipes from the Shandong Province of eastern China. The age of emplacement of these kimberlites ranges from 1300 million years to 90 million years. The initial Nd-isotopic compositions of these kimberlitic rocks expressed as e{open}NdIwith respect to a chondritic bulk-earth growth-curve show a range between 0 and +4, with the majority of the kimberlites being in the range 0 to +2. This range is not matched by any other suite of mantle-derived igneous rocks. This result strengthens our earlier conclusion that kimberlitic liquids are derived from a relatively primeval and unique mantle reservoir with a nearly chondritic Sm/Nd ratio. ?? 1984 Springer-Verlag.

Nuumber 4 in the top 10 list comes from Grouper. I was going to include both albums she released on the same day as a joint number 4 but then, whilst I think that they work very well together as a piece of work, I don't think it's fair to include it as a double album as it's not, technically. So 'Alien Observer' it is because the first time I listened to it I was completely blown away by it. I was already a fan of her work but when I heard 'Alien Observer' my levels of love for her music skyrocketed. (This was reinforced by 'Dream Loss'). It's such an amazingly beautiful record, which I tried to write about earlier in the year. The whole sound of the record gives the feeling of listening to Liz Harris sing under water. It's just eerily beautiful and when she unleashes 'Come Softly' at the end of the record my heart just skips a beat. One of the most hauntingly beautiful tunes that I have ever heard.
Her skill as a manipulator of sound, tone and texture to create these ethereal worlds is second to none. A real star. She deserves to be heard by more. Check out 'Dream Loss' too because it's equally brilliant. And if I was cheating the pair of them together would definitely be pushing towards the top of my top 10 list. But I am not cheating. So number 4 she is. And deservedly so for a brilliant album.
Check out Grouper here. Enjoy.

SharePoint 2010 is coming this spring. Assuming that you decided there are enough cool features to warrant the move, it will take some time to do it properly involving a range of tasks from configuration, training, data migration and finally, roll out. In this article we are going to focus just on the data migration activities to see if we can shed a little light on what is necessary to make this task a success.
Whether your existing architecture supports in-place upgrades or if you have to move to a new environment, the system update provides a good opportunity to reorganize your stale content and take advantage of new SharePoint 2010 features. Here is a brief overview of the features that you may find useful.
- Metadata navigation hierarchies. Navigation Hierarchies appear in the list view page and allow users to navigate metadata taxonomy to filter items in lists and document libraries.
- Metadata key filters. Key Filters appear in the list view page and are used to filter a list or document library by simply typing in a value (or select it from a drop down list).
- Term Stores and Managed Metadata fields support complex inter-related structures of terms which are then used to tag content in a consistent fashion. These fields can then be used to locate content through search or application of filters. SharePoint 2010 provides a rich user experience when authoring, tagging or locating items with managed metadata fields.
- Search Refinement Panel (Faceted Search). When a search query returns a lot of results the faceted search functionality displays a refinement panel on the left side of the screen. In the panel you can drill down through the results based on metadata such as Site, Author, Modified Date and Tags. Which refinement possibilities are shown depends on the result set.
- List views Group By navigation. Technically, this feature was first introduced in SharePoint 2007. It can be used to groups content into virtual folders based on the content metadata.
These new features can greatly improve content find-ability, discovery and navigation, which makes a big impact on the way an organization leverages its intellectual assets. However, these features lean heavily on how information taxonomies are designed and populated within SharePoint.
Taxonomy in SharePoint can be grouped into two buckets:
- Data Taxonomy defines physical location of items and documents. Data taxonomy consists of site collections, sites, sub-sites, lists, libraries and folders
- Information Taxonomy defines metadata and consists of fields and hierarchy of content types in sites, sub-sites, lists and libraries as well as actual field values assigned to SharePoint items and documents
Data migration presents a perfect opportunity to reorganize content and to exploit the new features in SharePoint 2010. Here is a list of tasks that could be performed during the migration project:
- Introduce and apply a data retention policy. Some old content or versions should simply not be moved to the new environment. It can be archived or even abandoned rather than migrated to the new system and then deleted.
- Design a site hierarchy and lists in the new system so that migrated content is placed into appropriate locations. There are many factors that play a role in the site tree and list design. Among these are security, data access, navigation, search and authoring.
- Design term stores and term sets so that they could be used and reused in many lists and by many users. Create generic managed metadata fields to be used throughout your environment. Analyze whether your old fields (choice, lookup, check-boxes and radio-buttons) should be converted to this new format.
- Define columns and content types . Assign columns and content types to lists and libraries to enforce organization policies; best practices and standards; and to enable the use of the unified metadata navigation features.
- Design content types hubs network to reuse content types across multiple site collections. Decide which content types could be reused and where they should be maintained. Consider content type hub limitations that prevent publishing if they are located in a sub-site. Reusable content types should be promoted to the site collection level during migration.
- Determine how the content will be accessed and design initial navigation structures: list views with group by clauses, metadata navigation hierarchies, metadata key filters and refinement panel layout.
- Migrate existing content into the newly designed lists and content types. Define values for the fields that will support content access and navigation tasks in the future. Retain the value from the existing metadata fields. Map values from the existing fields to the newly designed taxonomy managed metadata fields.
It is worth noting that while it is always possible to re-organize content post migration but the opportunity may not present itself. Users quickly adjust to the level of organization (or disorganization) they are presented with and are reluctant to try anything new. So we recommend that you develop a migration strategy, design your new SharePoint environment and then copy existing content into the appropriate location and with applicable metadata.
MetaVis Migrator for SharePoint does all the tasks helping to reorganize existing data into the efficient SharePoint 2010 environment. It migrates data from SharePoint 2003, SharePoint 2007, other SharePoint 2010 sites and file system network shares to new SharePoint 2010 environment. During this process MetaVis Migrator for SharePoint allows to split and merge sites, split and merge lists, change list locations and site hierarchies, replace content types for SharePoint items, enhance items metadata by introducing new field values, replace existing lookup, choice and string fields with SharePoint 2010 managed metadata fields – everything using a single Windows Explorer like wizard driven interface.

COVID-19 update: A message from our partnersRead more
In accounting and reporting for transactions that represent business combinations accounted for using the acquisition method, FASB Accounting Standards Codification (FASB ASC) 805, Business Combinations, applies.
However, this guidance for business combinations does not apply to combinations between entities or businesses under common control, according to FASB ASC 805-10-15-4(c). Particular guidance associated with common control transactions is included separately within the business combinations guidance at FASB ASC 805-50.
Some transfers of net assets or exchanges of shares between entities under common control result in a change in the reporting entity. In practice, the method that many entities have used to account for those transactions is similar to the pooling-of-interests method.
The "Transactions Between Entities Under Common Control" subsections of ASC 805-50 provide guidance on preparing financial statements and related disclosures for the entity that receives the net assets.
The Common Control Concept
FASB ASC 805 does not include a definition of the term "common control" that can be used in determining whether transactions are between commonly controlled entities. With that said, FASB ASC 805-50-15-6 does provide the following examples of the types of transactions that qualify as common control transactions:
Transactions Between Commonly Controlled Entities
When accounting for transfers of assets or exchanges of shares between entities under common control, using the provisions of FASB ASC 805-50-30, the entity that receives the net assets or equity interests is required to measure the recognized assets and liabilities transferred at their carry amounts in the accounts of the transferring entity at the date of the transfer.
When carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities transferred differ from the historical cost of the parent of the entity under common control (e.g., because push-down accounting had not been applied), the financial statements of the receiving entity need to reflect the transferred assets and liabilities at the historical cost of the parent of the entities under common control.
(When applied, "push-down accounting" establishes a new basis for the assets and liabilities of an acquired company by pushing down the acquirer's accounting and reporting basis to the acquiree's separate financial statements.)
In certain situations, the entity receiving the net assets or equity interests and the entity transferring the net assets or equity interests may account for similar assets and liabilities using different accounting methods. In these circumstances, the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities transferred may be adjusted to the basis of accounting used by the receiving entity if the change would be preferable.
These types of changes in accounting methods are required to be applied retrospectively, and financial statements presented for prior periods need to be adjusted, unless it is impracticable to use this approach.
Disclosure Requirements
When transactions occur between entities that are commonly controlled, notes to the financial statements of the receiving entity are required to include disclosure of the following for the period in which the transfer of assets and liabilities or exchange of equity interests occurred:
These disclosures would be in addition to generally applicable disclosures that would be included in financial statements addressing a variety of matters to ensure that note disclosures are transparent.
As an example, it would be the usual circumstance that related-party transactions disclosures also would need to be included in the financial statement notes. Those disclosures are spelled out in FASB ASC 850, Related Party Disclosures. – Bob Durak, CPA, CGMA, Director of AICPA Center for Plain English Accounting

In this article we will explore some of the biggest scams that have occurred in recent memory and analyse the ways in which crypto investors can stay clear of such issues.
1. Coincheck Hack
While most established online exchanges have a multitude of security checks in place against hackers, in 2018 a group of anonymous individuals were able to hack into Coinchecks' mainframe and make their way with a staggering 500 million NEM (equivalent to $530 million USD).
2. Giza
This scam was carried out through the use of a professional looking ICO campaign.
Giza marketed itself as a company claiming to develop a super-secure currency holder that would allow users to store all their virtual assets in one place. Within a month's time, the project had raised a whopping $2.4 million USD following which things started to go south.
According to many first hand accounts of people affected by this scam, the developers linked with this project stopped responding to emails and even took down the website within the span of a few weeks.
It was later revealed that all of the people who were featured within the company's whitepaper were simply hired actors. The photos used within the website were pulled from different instagram accounts illegally, thereby giving the impression that Giza was a legitimate project.
3. Mining Max
US-based firm Mining Max was able to raise a whopping $250 Million USD from investors on the basis of a fraudulent ethereum mining operation. The project seemed legitimate for a couple of months and even provided users with decent returns initially.
However, after a couple of months it started becoming clear to everyone that Mining Max did not use a sustainable business model and the company was only in the market to make some quick money. Following a host of complaints from international investors, Korean prosecutors filed charges against a couple of individuals involved with the company.
While a lot of things still remain unclear, it is alleged that out of the $250 million that was raised during the fundraiser period, only $70 million was actually spent on the operation.
4. Benebit
Benebit was another ICO scam that fooled a lot of people on the basis of its sleek presentation and professional outlay.
The Benebit ICO platform promised users with a unique cryptocurrency that would help reward them for their 'loyalty'. Not only did the project seem appealing at first but as per some media outlets, the people behind this venture were able to raise around $3 Million USD.
It was also revealed recently that an estimated sum of $500,000 was spent into marketing the ICO so as to make it look legitimate. Thus it does not come as a surprise that a lot of people were fooled by this project.
5. Bitconnect
BitConnect is one of those names that people actually took seriously back in early 2017. While the exchange presented customers with an array of lending services that resembled Ponzi Schemes, many people continued to back the project and invest in its offerings.
However, after a year or so, it became apparent that the ridiculous interest rates that the company was offering were just not feasible and within a years time, the company had to shut down after they were issued with a host of cease and desist orders.
It is also worth mentioning that prior to the company's demise, the BitConnect token had been featured amongst the world's top 20 most successful tokens.
At this time, we are closing the lending platform only. The BCC Exchange will work as usual and the wallet service will remain operational to hold your BCC on the website.@bitconnect @hitbtc @CoinExchangeio @livecoin_net @CoinMarketCap

6. Seele ICO Impersonation
Even though Seele is a completely legitimate company that procured its funds in a legal manner, earlier this year, it was reported that a number of scammers claiming to be admins for the company contacted various investors and made their way with nearly $2 million worth of Ethereum.
According to some media outlets, the scammers posed as admins on the Seele Telegram channel and got investors to purchase tokens in exchange for ether before the sale had actually begun.
WARNING: Our team have found out scammer @seelealert to pretend to be our official team to carry out the token sale. We have already finished our token sale therefore we won't ask anyone to obtain the fund anymore. Be aware of scammer asking you the fund for buying seele token.
— Seele (@SeeleTech) April 18, 2018
7. Confido
Confido held its ICO last November and was able to raise more than $350,000 USD.
The company claimed to have developed a "smart contract" based platform that would be able to streamline business operations for startups looking to incorporate blockchain into their existing structural framework.
Confido's native currency began trading at an impressive sum of $1.20 per token but within a couple of months, it became obvious that the entire operation was a big ploy to steal money.
Soon after it was found that the project was ridden with loopholes, the main people involved with the project disappeared and all of their social media accounts and websites disappeared almost overnight.
8. Mybtgwallet.com
This scam resulted in investors losing a total of $3.3 million to miscreants who deceived and stole the private keys of customers making use of this wallet.
As per reports that can be found on the internet, Mybtgwallet.com was created by a person called John Dass who was a respected member of the Bitcoin Gold community. He promoted the project on various social platforms including Reddit, Steem and was able to lure in many susceptible individuals.
Analysis of the website's code showed that the page stored an individual's private keys as and when they were submitted. The owners of the project were also found to have changed the platforms GitHub code in an attempt to steal as much money as they could.
9. Karbon
Karbon is another one of those projects that looked extremely legitimate when they took off but a couple of months in, it became clear that the creators were only in the market to make a quick buck.
The platform promoted itself as being a decentralized social marketplace and was able to raise more than $200,000 during its ICO period.
As per the whitepaper, the Ethereum-based project said that it would help facilitate communication channels between users, merchants and advertisers so as to create a trade market that was not only professional but also decentralized.
10. Plexcoin
Plexcoin is another name that might ring a bell with some crypto fans. The project launched its ICO last year and was able to acquire an impressive sum of $15 million.
However, shortly after Plexcoin was scheduled to go live with its platform, the company's assets were frozen and founder Dominic Lacroix was charged after being accused of defrauding investors by making false claims and promises than could not be delivered upon.

TOLEDO, Ohio — A man held a woman captive in handcuffs and an adult diaper for three days while he read Bible passages to her, police said.
Troy Brisport, 34, was charged with kidnapping and felonious assault. Bail was set Tuesday at $400,000.
He picked up the woman Wednesday night in Detroit after she told him she had nowhere to stay, and brought her to his home in Toledo, about 55 miles (88 kilometers) away, police told The Toledo Blade newspaper.
The woman told police that after she fell asleep Brisport handcuffed her wrists and ankles, gagged her, undressed her and put her in an adult diaper, then read Bible passages, said police Capt. Ray Carroll.
She apparently was not sexually assaulted, Carroll said.
However, court documents alleged that Brisport tried several times to suffocate the woman using a pillow and blanket.
The woman told police she escaped Saturday after Brisport fell asleep. Police found her dressed only in a T-shirt and the adult diaper and still wearing handcuffs.
There was no immediate response Tuesday to a call seeking comment from jail officials, and there was no indication whether Brisport had an attorney to speak for him.

If you have a child with behavior problems, I understand your frustration. Not from the perspective you'd think, though. I have no children. However, I used to BE a child with behavior problems.
That's why I'm offering my eBook – Food Allergies And Behavioral Problems: Why Your Child Is NOT "Doing It On Purpose" as a free download on my website.
Does this sound like your child? He gets good grades in school but seems puzzled by simple directions. She speaks intelligently yet gets lost on the way to the bathroom in a new house. You often have to call your son's name several times before he turns to look at you and when that doesn't work, tapping him on the shoulder startles him out of his skin?
Your son is often preoccupied to the point of obsession with one specific topic. Your daughter talks endlessly, doesn't seem to understand the concept of listening and becomes tearful or agitated when interrupted. Some of the things she says simply make no sense at all!
What about eye contact? Does your daughter stare at others to the point of being rude? Does your son avoid eye contact and refuse to show respect?
Your first thought may have been that your child has a learning disability but tests prove he or she is actually of high intelligence! You may have then suspected hearing was the problem but those tests have come back with a perfect score. Your child often complains of stomach pain but his pediatrician tells you there's nothing physically wrong with him. At this point, you may have believed the cause to be an emotional disorder or chemical imbalance but the psychiatrist you've taken your child to says he can find nothing wrong either and suggests perhaps this is just "attention-seeking behavior".
Maybe he's right. The stomachaches aren't real; they're just an attempt to get attention. Your daughter is just "acting dumb" by losing her way or misplacing objects. Your son stares at others to intimidate. He just needs more discipline, right?
I can tell you right now that there is a reason your child is acting this way. There is an explanation for the staring or lack of eye contact, the stomach pain, the confusion about social cues, the easy startle reflex and everything else.

The children have had to come-up with a new idea. Once they have done this, they must conduct market research. This information must be presented using Excel. They must build their prototype.
They will produce a PowerPoint to explain their invention to investors.
To let the whole school know about the product, they must advertise it, using a TV advert, a radio advert and a poster.
A spreadsheet will be used to show investors how profitable the product is.
On Friday 17th July there will be a Market Place, in front of he whole school. Every child will have 'Willows Pounds' to invest. The Company with the most invest will win.

Objective via WikipediaOne of the peak modern questions atheists get from Christians is, "The same as would it impel for you to believe?" The hunch is sometimes premeditated to acquire suspend for the modern delusion incredulity involves some class of faith. Widely times it reflects rock-hard novelty about the class of essentials atheists would undertake as important the theistic belief have (i.e., some class of god or gods be alive). Atheist responses change (informant is clothed in), but one of the better-quality entire involves the direct suffer of a god appearing in the cancellation of uncommon states of consciousness or mental end. The same as we now attach is not honestly this compelling, but it does ding to be a true question. I insist on lots atheists will fast revolution to Christianity upon testing this hearsay (lots perhaps prior to attach).
The United Rub in a bad way this surprising story late this week. I am disconcert that it has not conventional the hobby it deserves and am no wondering about some class of atheist media fall. Whilst all, what also may well show protest why the next question is not the lead story on every vulgar hearsay network?CALEXICO, Calif. - The up-to-the-minute thing on the griddle at the Las Palmas restaurant these days isn't the pitch - it's the image of Our Female of Guadalupe that a cook says she saw on the griddle.
Eatery overseer Brenda Martinez says better-quality than 100 country attach flocked to the not much resolution of Calexico on the California-Mexico cage up to glance at the study of the Virgin Mary back it was bare as the griddle was because cleaned.
In the company of the awe-struck was a group of veiled Mexican wrestlers who fashionable Thursday for an traveling fair at a existing reserve assemble.
One, freely available as Mr. Hurricane, says: "This is surprising. It's a true question."
To the same extent the voyaging, the griddle has been diligent out of service and to be found in a testament in a power room.I'd intend to dedicate the next observations about this story:
* It really does not come into view to impel much to get a group of ceremonial country to "collect" wherever.
* Any story mentioning "veiled Mexican wrestlers" deserves way better-quality hobby than it is instinctive to hail.
* I elation the whole people-seeing-religious-figures-in-shit meme absolutely too much.

lining of the lungs, abdomen, and heart. More than 30 percent of
Americans beset with mesothelioma were exposed to asbestos during
military service. According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs,
there are currently 25 million living individuals who have served
in the United States' armed forces. Hundreds of thousands, if not
millions of these living veterans were exposed to toxic asbestos-containing
materials during military service. Asbestos dot com offers complete

We started Day 6 with a long walk to the Arc de Triomphe. It is a symbol of triumph, which means victory.
Then it was off to the zoo!
The zoo was inside this pretty garden.
I saw porcupines,
and monkeys!
We spent Day 7, in another garden. The Luxembourg Gardens had a huge playground. It had poles, big slides and cool swings! I loved it!
It was time to go back home! Our last morning, we took one last walk on the River Seine,
I had one last drink of my favorite new drink, diablo menthe which is mint lemonade,
and then we got on the airplane. I loved Paris, but I was also glad to be going home! So was Avik!

Learning how to swim is very important for children of all ages in the South Florida area. Living in Florida, you are generally surrounded by water. The water should be an enjoyable feature, but if you are not properly educated or have the skills to safely 'dive in', then you will not be able to enjoy the water as much as you should.
South Florida has several initiatives that assist families in ensuring that children and all family members know how to safely swim. The Miami Herald recently reported that, through SWIM Central, Broward's coordinating agency for water-safety instruction and awareness since 1999, nearly 500,000 children have learned to swim. The program, which is funded by Broward's Children Services Council, the Broward administration and the Broward County Schools, allows nearly 25,000 children — mainly 5- and 6-year-olds — to get 10-day swim sessions during the school year. Jay Sanford, the senior program coordinator for SWIM Central, said the mission of the program is to give every child access to water safety. "Drowning is a universal problem and it need a universal solution," he said.
Families are being encouraged to sign up for lessons in all counties. There are several options, just depending on what you are looking for. Children can enjoy private lessons, group lessons or even free lessons. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nationally, children aged 1 to 4 have the highest drowning rates. Drowning accounts for one third of the unintentional injury deaths suffered in that age group, and most of those drownings occur in home swimming pools. Let's help to do our best and make sure that we lower this statistic every year. Share any tips you have for swimming lessons in the comments below. Safe swimming, Florida!

It's not common, but there are actually a few good mermaid anime that exist out there. For this list we're ranking the best anime with mermaids according to your votes. The most common title on this list is My Bride is a Mermaid, which ran for one season in 2007 on TV Tokyo. However, there are some other great anime with mermaid characters you should probably be aware of if you enjoyed that show. We know there are mermaids in One Piece, but we're going to leave that off this poll since the show isn't exclusively about that.Please vote up the good mermaid anime on this poll by clicking the thumbs up next to each show. You can also give shows downvotes if you don't like them, but please only do this if you've actually seen the anime in question.

Most Talked About Thread
**This is determined by the number of responses in a thread
eliza suzuki had a question about finding the MAX Value across dates. After going back and forth with Joe Oppelt and The specified item was not found. to get to the root of the issue. G Marc Turner explained that her original calculations were table calculations and not LOD expressions which is why she was having some issues. He then, provided two calculations that do use LOD expressions and solved the issue for Eliza in on fell swoop!
(One of the) Top Viewed Threads
In 2014, Mary Solbrig posted ESRI Shapefile importer: R. Since then, it has received 87 replies, and Mary is always engaged answering questions people have about it. Definitely, a fantastic post that is worth checking out if you use R or are thinking about how you can use R with Tableau.
Top Voted Idea
Three ideas received 6 up votes this week - having them all tie for 1st place. First, Multi-Values Parameters [ RELEASED ] created by Loic Grange giving it a total of 856 votes. Having a background picture in a dashboard (requires transparent chart areas) created by Geert Janssen now has 60 votes. And finally, Shawn Wallwork's idea Stop Changing Filters & Colors When Replacing Data Source has 176 votes (I'm really hoping for this one )
In Other News
- Trinadha K (a new member) had a quick question about Tableau 8 and 9 architectural difference. Mark Wu responded with 8 differences, as well as a article that helped Balaji get the answer he needed.
- Always fun seeing posts in different languages. Béatrice LORIOT asked Trying to change dimension names in tooltip only/ changer le nom d'une dimension dans l'infobulle uniquementin both English and French; and received answers in both languages. One in English from Pooja Gandhi which solved her issue, and another from Bassem Khalil in French.
- James Wong had a question about Tableau Design Recommendation when it comes to creating a dashboard for both Desktop and Mobile. Ashish Chaudhari provided some different resolutions that looks like it solved James' question. James, you may also be interested to check out the Coming Soonsite - Tableau 10 will have device specific dashboards. Join the Beta to try it out!
- Talk about getting a detailed response. Jon-Paul Herron asked another open/close date issue: overdue tickets, aka count # of tickets open more than X days. Simon Runc took on the challenge. Where he thought it was an issue with LOD calcs, he discovered it was more an issue of data densification. He goes into deep detail about what is happening and how to fix/solve the original question. Great job, Simon!
That's a wrap! Hope everyone has a great week - until next time, happy analyzing!

Are Dolphins guaranteed?This is not SeaWorld, this is there world!
Our first priority
… is your Dolphin Swim experience.
Swimming with the Hectors/New Zealand Dolphins, the smallest and rarest ocean going dolphins in the world, does not happen in aquariums or cages in the ocean.
It happens in their natural habitat the Pacific Ocean & Akaroa Harbour, where they are completely free and everything is done on their terms.
We are ecoSEAker
… and work in sustainable ecotourism,
… we respect wildlife in it's natural state.
This is not Sea World, This is Their World
They are as rare as Bengal Tigers, Giant Pandas and Mountain Silver Back Gorillas !
So it is a real privilege to come out and see them let alone have an opportunity to swim with them.
Although there are no guarantees with wild dolphins they do live here all year round.
The Hectors Dolphins are scientifically known to show more interest in people in the water and boats than any other type of wild dolphin in NZ and most likely the world.
ecoSEAker's success rate
for gaining a swim encounter is
On our trips
… we have always seen the Hectors Dolphins.
We would say that with us, there is a 1-2% chance not to see any and 9.5% chance not to gain a swim encounter.
We think that's absolutely amazing when working with wildlife.
So as you can see we cannot 100% guarantee them but the chances are very high.
The reason for such high chances is because we take you out longer than other dolphin swim companies, 2.5 to 3 hrs on the water.
We are also governed by our Department of Conservation so if the dolphins have calfs (babies) with them or are showing no interest we cannot swim with them.
We are the best deal in town
… because we take you out longer
… and include a harbour tour with your dolphin swim, maximising your experience and increasing your value for money.
We are smaller, friendlier, and give you so much more on our tours, see our guest reviews on Tripadvisor.

Spotted on the Slope of Hope
The powers that be have placed two men in front of us, they will split the "issues" close enough that voter count will be 52 to 48% or thereabouts. Their lies will be about equal. Their vested interest backing will be about equal, although different types. They will not have you in mind when policy is made, with handouts made to those on the edge to prevent them from picking up the pitchforks.
Given that Obama, the constitutional lawyer, has raped the constitution and the rule of law, my vote will be clearcut. A possible OK is far better than a known bad. Obama has the gift of speech, or at least used to, but beyond that I can see no redeeming features. The gift of speech was also strong with Reagan, but at least with Reagan, you had the idea that he harbored strong beliefs that were also in sync with the best interests of the old America, and not 99% generated by "handlers".
Indeed, America has drifted far from the laws that were supposed to reign in the possible "capture" of America. Drifted far from the implied contract that citizens could decide to invest their lives and labor in this country, thinking that there would be civil rights and the rule of law, and that saving for the future could make the near term hard work worth it. Instead those who have worked hard and saved are targets. Targets of everyone who see a big pot and wants a piece of it. Targets of government debt default through increase in monetary supply to rob the savers and encourage the drunken sailors. Targets of a flawed legal system where the lawyers get rich in out of court "mediations" because the justice system has become so dysfunctional that everyone, especially the judges try every trick in the book, including extortion in order to allow the lawyers to pick the bones of both sides in the "out of the court system" scenarios in which the lawyers have absolutely zero liability and accountability and can be completely incorrect in use of the law and still walk away with the loot scot-free.
We could probably go on for a few dozen pages like this, however, the main point is that until fundamental changes are made, it seems like it will take a good hard look into the world of Mad Max before the average sheeple will be forced into a changed way to operate and look at things. In other words, these changes seem to be have to be forced upon us under conditions of extreme pain and upheaval.
Neither of these men placed in front of us can accomplish the task of just "working our way out of this".
That said, I do feel prepared enough that when the shit hits the fan that I think me and my family and some select friends who are like minded will come out of this all, not just OK, but better than ever. However, there is also the good chance that we take some serious hits while going through this "process" including untimely death. I think those odds are like 4% to 8% for me, and yes I am pissed at those who have brought us to this stage on their watch, even in their plans.
I also appreciate the chance that Big Ben gives us by printing a few more trillion or maybe even 30 more trillion, as this gives us more time to prepare, and where strategic alliances can be formed and strengthened, to educate. I thank you Ben, as I hate your little ego driven shot at fame that the handlers have given you to implement your academic theories, whilst taking the largest risks of all just to prove that "you were right".

Tom Gimbel went the unconventional route, starting his own company at the age of 26. While that's not all that uncommon today, it was in 1998. He mortgaged his house, hired two employees, and started making his vision for LaSalle Network come to life.
Today, LaSalle Network spans across the United States and has over 150 employees. It hasn't all been smooth sailing. Tom's company survived two recessions and the dot com boom, but through it all, LaSalle has grown every year since inception and have never done a layoff.

Lord Huron has been getting a good amount of press in the last few months, and for good reason. The L.A. based five-piece is on the cusp of releasing an album chock full of rich, lush, beautiful, folk-tinged rock songs. Straight-ahead toe-tapping at points and downright orchestral at others, debut album Lonesome Dreams looks to be one of the better records of the second half of 2012. "Brother" is the album's ninth track, a four minute ode to lifelong friendship and the deep connections that grow along with it. All of the instruments – the quietly picked guitar, the booming drums – are flourishes highlighting frontman Ben Schneider's low, humble crooning. The music rises between verses rolling toward a touching finish of bent notes and stuttering beats as Schneider repeatedly sings, "Don't turn away, don't tell me that we're not the same. We face the fire together, brothers till the end. Don't run away, our time will come but not today. I'll stand beside you brother, with you till the end."
Lonesome Dreams comes out October 9th on I am Sound.

IV Therapy
Good Health in a Bag!
We offer a wide variety of IV therapies such as, ozone, ultraviolet light, nutritional, and stem cell. This will help us address immune function, deficiencies, and work to enhance natural function as well as treatments such as stem cells for a more targeted and comprehensive approach to health and anti-aging.
Full-Service IV Therapy
IV Therapy is the concept of introducing high doses of nutritional components such as vitamins, minerals, amino acids, anti-oxidants, and other compounds, as well as oxygen and light, into the circulatory system via intravenous infusion.
Essential nutrition such as B vitamins, magnesium, glutathione and more, are depleted in our food and the soil to which our food is grown; yet are responsible for thousands and thousands of processes in the body. Replenishing these vital components allow for efficiency upgrades at a cellular level effecting foundational cellular pieces such as cell membrane, mitochondria, ATP production, RNA, DNA, etc., and furthermore help to boost the immune system and repair natural exposure or damage through things such as free radicals, the sun, athletic performance, injury, and medications or substance abuse. These boosts also simultaneously help the body to fight pathogenic invaders such as viruses, bacteria, yeast and fungus.

- Benefits of IV Therapy
- Ozone and Chelation Therapy
- Ultraviolet Light Therapy
- Our Nutritive
- Amino Acids
- Essentiale-N
- Glutathione + NAC
How IV Therapy Works
The circulatory system is responsible for delivering oxygen and nutrition through the body. Hence, low circulation or low levels of nutrition and oxygen deprive the body of essential building blocks required to not only live healthy, but to prevent and fight disease. Every day we are bombarded with variables that may make it difficult to consume proper nutrition; making IV therapy a great resource and method to maintaining or regaining health.
Even for those of us who make huge efforts to be active and healthy though lifestyle and diet are either:
- Not able to get a variety or absorb large amounts of what we take in, or
- Unable to "beat" the aging process.
This means that even if you are not sick or low in energy, you can use Nutritional IV Therapy as an anti-aging approach. Many of the ingredients in IV Therapy, help diminish the natural breakdown and depletion we all face as we age.
Benefits of IV Therapy
There are two main benefits to doing it this way:
- IV bypasses the gut for a much higher and quicker, assimilation or absorption rate. The circulatory system carries the nutrition throughout the body and into tissues and organs at a faster rate, also absorbing a higher percentage of the nutrition versus eating the food orally, then waiting for the gut to process the food and then deliver it's benefits.
- Using intravenous methods allow practitioners to administer much greater doses of nutrition. For example, one might be able to take 1-5 grams of Vitamin C orally through a supplement but a practitioner can deliver up to 150 grams intravenously. This provides a greater opportunity to create change in the body and to do it more rapidly. Therefore not only delivering nutrition for a therapeutic effect but to treat disease.
Nutritional IV Therapy is very easy to administer with little to no risk. We always evaluate each of our patients and do proper testing and examination to determine which IV ingredients would best serve you and your health care needs and health goals. Whether looking to continue on as a healthy, active athlete or worried your health has taken a turn for the worst, Nutritional IV Therapy could be a great option for you.
Ozone and Chelation Therapy
Decreased oxygen utilization and resulting mitochondrial decay appears to be the single most important determinant of health, aging and degenerative disease. Decreased oxygen utilization causes degenerative disease through the combined action of increased free radical formation and decreased anti-oxidant buffering capacity. These factors ultimately destroy the mitochondria through a process referred to as mitochondrial decay. Oxygen deficiency can be toxic to the cell by exacerbating free radical generation in mitochondrial membranes at the site of electron transport.
Ozone in biological systems interacts with double bonds found in amino acids and lipids to form peroxides called ozonides, not free radicals, which is one of the advantages that ozone therapy has over other oxidative therapies such as hyperbaric oxygen or hydrogen peroxide. Ozonides are able to penetrate cell membranes and increase oxygen utilization by increasing the production of NAD+, a critical molecule involved in cellular respiration.
A significant advantage of chelation therapy with EDTA is that it improves the circulation to vital organs of the body. It is also an excellent preventive treatment for those who have had angioplasty, stents or bypass surgery. Abnormal tissue calcium deposition, impaired circulation and free radical oxidative damage are inevitable consequences of aging. EDTA decreases the formation of free radicals by altering the ferric/ferrous ratio and has been identified as a specific anti-aging therapy by the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine.
Additional benefit of chelation therapy is the removal of heavy metals, a common environmental toxin. Arsenic, lead, mercury, cadmium, nickel and aluminum are major heavy metals that are known to cause a variety of diseases. Heavy metals decrease oxygen utilization by interrupting hemoglobin synthesis which causes functional anemia, bind to hemoglobin to decrease oxygen carrying capacity and also bind to various cytochromes which critical for mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation.
Ultraviolet Light
Ultraviolet Light Ultraviolet (UV) light therapy is yet another potent immunomodulatory treatment we use here at Anatara Medicine. Even dating back to the 1870s, it was understood that UV light was extremely efficient at eliminating bacteria. A number of prominent physicians of that era recommended using UV light to destroy infectious organisms in the blood. Finsen was one of the first researchers to irradiate blood with UV light, and in 1903, he won the Nobel Prize in Medicine for his work in treating the blood of three hundred lupus patients with ultraviolet light.
he next major innovation in the therapy came in 1928, when American researchers E. Knott and V. Hancock used a device that made extracorporeal ultraviolet blood irradiation (UVBI) possible. They conducted the first successful treatment of septic infection with the therapy. Later work revealed that UV light has a positive influence on the immune, respiratory, and hormonal systems.
During the early years of UVBI therapy, Dr. E. K. Knott and his associates sought to explain how the treatment obtains its therapeutic effects. Research has identified two probable modes:
- The first explanation is that the ultraviolet irradiation destroys bacteria and viruses in the extracted blood and creates a kind of "vaccination effect." In other words, when the irradiated blood returns to the body, the immune system identifies the dead bacteria and viruses in it. It then seeks out and destroys the same bacteria and viruses in the non-irradiated blood in the rest of the body.
- The second explanation is that when the small fraction of irradiated blood is reinfused, it begins to spread throughout the entire volume of blood in the body. These irradiated blood cells give off secondary radiation destroys viruses, bacteria, and toxins. In addition, it activates white blood cells. Strong evidence strongly suggests that UVBI therapy has a prophylactic action against cancer. A study in East Germany measured the number of mutations produced by chromosomes. After six sessions of UVBI therapy, researchers found that the number of chromosomal mutations diminished. These doctors believe that UVBI therapy can actually stimulate DNA repair.
So why has UV light treatment been regarded as a new therapy? A host of new antibiotics and vaccines were introduced in the 1950s, and the medical industry was so enthusiastic to use these products because for many illnesses, such as hepatitis and pneumonia, although UVBI treatment was clearly superior. Thankfully, interest in UVBI therapy was rekindled two decades later in Russia.

Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+)
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is an important coenzyme found naturally within the living cells of all mammals. NAD+ is actually the oxidized form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. It is derived from Vitamin B3 or Niacin and is essential for cells to make energy.
NAD+ plays a crucial role in the cellular metabolism. Without taking you too far back to high school chemistry class, NAD+ helps to transfer energy from the foods you eat into usable cellular energy called ATP. All cells need ATP energy to function at optimum capacity. ATP is fuel for the body, especially heart and skeletal muscle and brain function.
By the way… NADH is also known as "CoEnzyme 1" and is necessary to convert CoEnzyme Q10 into an antioxidant. Taking CoQ supplements without adequate NADH misses the full potential of CoQ.
The enzymes that catalyze energy production as well as the mitochondria itself can be damaged by numerous toxins that cause oxidative or free radical damage, including cigarette smoke, drugs, electromagnetic waves from cell phones and wi-fi, and a plethora of chemicals including pthalates, parabens, pesticides, benzene, styrene, toluene, and more. Even the normal production of energy naturally produces free radicals that can cause oxidative damage to the mitochondria.
Nutritional deficiencies, lack of exercise and chronic stress are also issues that can impair mitochondrial energy production.
The bottom line is that NAD+ levels within the body gradually decrease as we age. The result? Less efficient metabolism on a cellular level. Decreased NAD+ levels can have a devastating effect on all areas of the body and contributes to the common telltale signs of aging, such as:
- Age spots
- Brain Fog
- Dementia
- Diabetes
- Disease
- Dry Skin
- Fatigue
- Fine Lines
- Forgetfulness or Memory Loss
- Hearing loss
- Increased Fat Storage (especially dangerous liver and belly fat)
- Insulin Resistance
- Loss of Muscle
- Sagging Skin
- Stiffness
- Thinning Hair
- Vascular Inflammation
- Visual loss
- Whitening or Graying of the Hair
- Wrinkles
NAD+ in a nutshell:
- Over 150+ scientific studies published
- Cofactor found in all living cells essential for cellular metabolism
- Redox molecule
- Necessary to produce ATP
- Many anti-aging properties
- Supports healthy brain function (i.e. clarity, concentration, brain fog, disease)
What if there was a way to get a compound that could turn back time, restore energy, improve athletic performance, bring back clarity of thought, reverse depression and help cure cravings for alcohol and drugs even in the most addicted individuals into your system most efficiently?
NAD IV has been used since the 1960s to help individuals detoxify from alcohol and opioid dependencies. Compelling research has shown that supplementing with NAD+ may help you withdraw from addictive substances safely, overcome anxiety and depression, handle acute and chronic stress more effectively, and cope better with PTSD.
Clinics across the US including Anatara Medicine and SF Stem Cell Center are starting to use IV infusions of NAD+ to help people withdraw from drug and alcohol addiction with minimal symptoms in as little as 7-14 days of treatment. These individuals report feeling calm and content and say they lost their "cravings" after a full course of treatment.
And NAD+ may actually prolong life, protect DNA, slow down aging and help restore function in neurodegenerative illness due to its effects on the genes that govern aging.
This IV aims to undo that process by replenishing NAD+. Using IV infusion therapy we administer this anti-aging compound directly into your blood circulation so your cells have access to as much as they need.
Between 3-14 consecutive days of NAD+ therapy combined with amino acid infusions, minerals, and B-Vitamins are typically recommended for full effect. Treatment is tailored to your individual needs after a detailed consultation.
The human brain is nearly 60 percent fat. We've learned in recent years that fatty acids are among the most crucial molecules that determine your brain's integrity and ability to perform.
A fatty tissue called the myelin sheath protects nerve cells. This sheath is much like insulation around an electrical wire. Neurological diseases occur when this protective myelin sheath is damaged and nerve cells are exposed and malfunctioning, or not communicating the way they should.
This means that fat is essential to keeping our brain and nervous system functioning well not only now but as we age. Eating essential fatty acids and omega fats is crucial to preventing diseases such as MS, ALS, and Parkinson's.
Fat is also an essential component to improving cellular uptake of other nutrients as well as detox cells of unwanted substances.
Phosphatidylcholines (PC) are a class of phospholipids (lipid = fatty acid), which are incorporated into cell membranes, and improves its integrity and serves to improve the transport of nutrients and export toxins across the cell membrane. It is also a precursor to acetylcholine, a major neurotransmitter, via its intermediary choline.
The "PK Protocol" named after originator Patricia Kane PhD, involves IV push of lower doses of stabilized PC known as Essentiale–N.
Essentiale-N has been applied clinically for neurodetoxification and for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's, MS, and ALS, as well as Lymes, CFIDS, fibromyalgia, autism, hepatitis, and mood disorders.
Yet on another level, Essentiale-N can also be give as a "precursor" to any other nutrient IVs in order to help the cellular absorption of those specific nutrients such as Vitamin C, minerals, curcumin, and B vitamins.
Used as an anti-aging strategy, this potent substance can slow down the degenerative process on many levels and keep our most precious assets, our brains and nerves, from degrading and leading to unwanted devastating disorders. Consider Essentiale-N as one of your regular IV choices for anti-aging.
Glutathione + NAC
Glutathione is one of the most abundant anti-oxidants in the body. At certain times and at certain ages, we possibly make ample amounts. As we age and become exposed to poor diet, chronic disease, infections and external stressors and toxins, it is likely our natural glutathione levels decrease. Yet, we need it – it is vitally important to our body's ability to manage oxidative stress among other things. Glutathione is naturally found in foods like broccoli, avocado, okra, asparagus, melon, kale, and sweet potatoes.
Glutathione is known to protect against many diseases and conditions, in part due to its ability to reduce oxidative stress, such as alcoholism, Alzheimer's disease, asthma, atherosclerosis, cataracts, chronic fatigue syndrome, colitis, diabetes, glaucoma, heart disease, hepatitis, high cholesterol, liver disease, osteoarthritis, Lyme disease, and Parkinson's disease.
Glutathione is especially known to support immune function as well as brain function. Patients with Parkinson's show depleted levels of Glutathione and also show improvement in their symptoms and cognition when they take Glutathione. As an anti-oxidant it can reduce free radical and heavy metal damage in the body.
Glutathione is not simple to manufacture in a good bioavailable form. Many oral supplements on the market do not deliver enough glutathione to be effective unless the Glutathione is encapsulated in lipids or fat – allowing it to permeate the cell membrane. Administered, as an IV treatment becomes the top way to deliver highly absorbed, significant doses. Given after ozone IV treatment it can be especially productive since the two have a synergistic and balancing effect.
We often follow Glutathione IV with N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC), an amino acid, which takes the process a step further, allowing the effects of Glutathione to be active for up to, an additional 12 hours. Amino acids in general are crucial to the production of Glutathione and are important to consider when trying to increase Glutathione levels.
Glutathione is also known to "open up" Phase II detox pathways in the liver. Essential to our existence, is the ability to process and eliminate unwanted substances from the body – the liver is one of the body's main elimination organs.
Research suggests that Glutathione plays a role in metabolizing alcohol and may protect the liver and kidneys by breaking down foreign substances such as drugs like acetaminophen into soluble forms more easily excreted.
Glutathione is also used as an anti-aging tool to lighten skin tones or diminish aging spots especially in countries such as the Philippines where lighter skin is culturally favored.

Please be patient, some games take longer to load than others!
I normally enjoy reviewing NextGen Gaming slots as they usually have some interesting, varied themes and cool features. The travel-themed Taxi and 1950s-inspired Munchers are two good recent examples, but Pandamania certainly deserves its place up there among NextGen's ones to play.
The Reels...
An animal-themed 5 reel, 25 payline slot featuring a giant panda in a zoo (who also acts as the game's Wild), the cartoony graphics and bright colours of Pandamania show that NextGen's sensibilities are firmly on the side of comic. If that isn't your cup of tea then you might want to stay clear of this slot but for those of you that enjoy a bit of humour in your slots then you will be very keen to get involved in this release from the developer.
The Panda's Running Wild
The Wild Panda substitutes for all regular symbols in the game other than the Scatters plus applies a 2x multiplier to each winning line it helps form. There's a nice little bonus feature when an escaped Panda can appear at any time, turning symbols at random into Wilds.
Win 10 Free Spins with a 2x Multiplier
However, the free spins hounds are catered for when you land three or more Scattered Sign Scatters anywhere on the reels. 10 free games are awarded, with a 2x multiplier attached to each win. During the spins, you have a better chance of hitting the Panda Escape Bonus, so it can a fruitful feature to trigger.
Earn an Instant Win!
There's a little Instant Win bonus feature to be activated as well, this one triggered by landing three Scattered Pick Me symbols anywhere. Choose one of the triggering symbols to reveal a prize. You can win cash, a 'Pick Again' symbol (which rewards you with two prizes) or a 'Win All' sign which will bag you three prizes.
Our View...
OK, so Pandamania isn't the most in-depth of online slots, but it certainly provides enough simple thrills to keep animal-mad slots players happy for a while. The free spins bonus was pretty regular when I played, and the extra Panda Escape bonuses can be pretty profitable overall. And if a maximum bet of $1,000 per spin doesn't entice the bigger players, then nothing will.
