Nordic Naturals Pet Cod Liver Oil Review

Nordic Naturals is a green, sustainable company that has been setting the standards for omega excellence since 1995. Nordic Naturals prides itself on producing quality, non toxic, fish oil by sustainable fishing practices.

Nordic Naturals makes products for both humans and pets and for this particular review I was using the Pet Cod Liver Oil For Dogs on Sherman?s food.

I was pretty exciting to do this review because I am always looking for safe ways to supplement the boys to support healthy skin and coat, joint heath and of course heart health.

Besides providing the above mentioned benefits of cod liver oil, it can also help support cellular health, immune system health, brain?development and maintenance, and eye?development?and maintenance.

Traditionally, Norwegians have used cod liver oil for its nourishing and healthful benefits. It is an ideal source of the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, as well as naturally occurring vitamin A. Nordic Naturals Pet Cod Liver Oil continues this tradition by providing your dog and cat patients and companions with these same important nutrients.

Nordic Naturals Pet Cod Liver Oil is derived exclusively from wild Arctic cod (Skrei), from the Norwegian Sea off the Lofoten Islands near Bod?, Norway.

My only concern when trying out the Pet Cod Liver Oil was the amount of Vitamin A that was in the product. Vitamin A is fat soluble vitamin that is stored ?in the fat cells of dogs and too much Vitamin A can lead to?toxicity?and while very rare, may cause bone issues and/or organ damage.

Now, you guys know me and I would never put my dogs in any type of danger, so I talked with the vet and she told me that Vitmain A toxcity is rare and as long as you know the amount of Vitamin?A that you are giving, because it is present in dog food, it would be fine.

I also contacted Nordic Naturals about the Vitamin A in their product and here is what they had to say:

Both cod liver oil and fish body oil are oils derived from fish that are rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Cod liver oil is derived specifically from the liver of cod, while fish body is derived from the body of fish. Because the liver is a reservoir of Vitamin A, cod liver oil is higher in Vitamin A content than fish body oil.

The vitamin A concentrations can vary between specific brands of cod liver oil. Some manufacturers will add additional vitamin A to cod liver oil to boost Vitamin A levels. Nordic Naturals does not add additional Vitamin A. The natural vitamin A is acceptable for pets.

Because Vitamin A is fat soluble, it can accumulate in the liver and body and can have harmful effects when supplemented in excessive levels.

Pet owners should be aware of other foods or treats fed to their pets that may also provide high levels of Vitamin A (such as liver), and take all these things into consideration when evaluating the safety of their pet?s diet and additional supplements. This also applies to pet owners feeding their pets raw food diets and home-prepared diets.

Consult your veterinarian to evaluate the total amount of omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin A and D your dog/puppy or cat/kitten should receive on a daily basis based on species, age, activity level, diet, life stage (growth/reproduction and adult), and health condition of your pet.

After I determined that the product would be more than safe to give Sherman I started the revew and gave him 1 teaspoon of the Pet Cod Liver Oil on his food every evening for 2 months. Sherman loves fish so I knew that he would really enjoy this, and he did.

While the results were not immediate, over time I did notice that the?flaky?skin that I was seeing on his back began to disappear and his coat, which was lacking in the shine department, began to glisten again.

Another thing that I noticed was his movement up the stairs.

Sherman is 5 and while this is not old for the average dog, it is getting up there for a giant breed dog, and over the winter I noticed him moving a little slower up the stairs. After about 1 month on the Nordic Naturals Pet Cod Liver Oil , I began to notice a spring in Sherman?s step going up the stairs. He was moving faster and more?fluently. My husband noticed it too.

Now, can I say with 100% certainly that this was due to the cod liver oil?

No.

But I do know that over the 2 months he was on it, I made no changes in his diet.

Source: Arrest teams back in place in Virgin Islands bribery scandal, just ?waiting? for Holder to green light action

Arrest teams are now in place in the U.S. Virgin Islands in the wake of the territory?s financial crime and bribery scandal, a source within the Department of Justice told The Daily Caller. According to the source, the teams are now waiting now ?waiting? for Attorney General Eric Holder to give the green light for ?execution.?

?Everything is in place now,? the source said. ?We?re just waiting for them to say ?execute.??

A?Daily Caller investigation?earlier this year unearthed allegations that USVI Gov. John de Jongh?accepted part of at least $20 million in cash bribes in exchange for facilitating the sale of a telecommunications company?to a politically embattled U.S. telecommunications cooperative.

According to the DOJ source ?? who served on a team put in place to arrest finance executives close to that telecommunications deal ?? de Jongh accepted a portion of at least $20 million in cash bribes that floated throughout the U.S. Virgin Islands government.

The bribes, according to the source, were for de Jongh, Virgin Islands Attorney General Vincent Frazer and other Virgin Islands legislators ? all aimed at quashing local concerns about financial irregularities identified on the books of the?National Rural Utilities Cooperative Finance Cooperative.

The DOJ, the source said, never acted on the sealed indictments related to a years-long criminal scheme involving bank fraud and other financial crimes because two prosecutors on a team of more than 25 also accepted bribes. Five other prosecutors, the source said, were compromised in some other unspecified way.

Since TheDC broke and continued covering the story, however, the source said the investigation got back on track due to political pressure the Obama administration faced from adversaries and supporters ? many of whom receive lucrative tax breaks from the local Virgin Islands government.

As of this weekend, TheDC?s DOJ source said, law enforcement teams are now ready to make arrests. ?The final decision, again, is on Holder?s desk,? the source said. ?The final decision is up to him.?

If and when Holder gives the green light, the source said, USVI senators will be the ?first? to be taken in into custody by law enforcement. That first step, the source said, will take ?less than 24 hours? to complete.

After the senators are taken in, the source said it?s then ?the administrative staff and the governor.? After that, the source said, the final step is law enforcement taking in people from the different financial institutions who were involved in the scandal.

The whole process, from the first step through the last step, will take ?no more than a week,? the source said.

But, the source said, it?s Holder who ultimately ?calls the shots on when it goes.?

?There?s nothing that hasn?t been done that would prevent a nod of confidence,? the source said. ?It?s all up to him now to say, ?yes, go ahead.??

Holder spokeswoman Tracy Schmaler didn?t respond when asked why the attorney general hasn?t given the go-ahead yet. But, TheDC?s DOJ source speculates Holder?s hesitance is for political reasons.

?This election, there?s a lot of players who have been very, very lucrative for [Obama?s campaign] and it will affect a lot of these people if the hammer is dropped,? the source said. ?It isn?t about the wellbeing of the American public. It isn?t about the Department of Justice trying to fight for fiduciary responsibility. It is about political position.?

In late February, Assistant Attorney General Ronald Weich issued a carefully worded denial of certain parts of financial crimes and bribery scandal in a letter to Iowa Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley, the ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

In that letter, Weich addressed few specifics in TheDC?s reporting or in the request by Grassley that prompted Weich?s reply. Weich?s response makes no mention of the sealed indictments, or of the lengthy investigation the DOJ conducted into CFC?s financial irregularities. Instead, Weich challenged only TheDC?s decision to give its source protection through anonymity, claiming the DOJ has no knowledge of the bribes explored in the story.

?The Department is not aware of facts supporting any allegations of bribery, as purported by the article,? Weich wrote.

After being shown Weich?s letter, TheDC?s source said it was by no means comprehensive and appears to be an attempt to dodge certain questions with careful wording.

?He left out portions of the letter to him from Sen. Grassley, like the indictments, all the things against CFC and everything to that end,? the source said in an interview at the time, while clarifying that proof of the bribery exists ?internally, based on documents.?

Insert Coin: Modkit Micro asks us if we're ready for six-year-olds coding Arduino boards

In Insert Coin, we look at an exciting new tech project that requires funding before it can hit production. If you'd like to pitch a project, please send us a tip with "Insert Coin" as the subject line.

http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/29/insert-coin-modkit-micro-graphical-programming/

What does microcontroller programming have in common with Tetris? Quite a bit if you're doing it with Modkit Micro from a Kickstarter project out of Cambridge, MA., which allows almost anyone to visually set up their hardware using graphical blocks to write the code. The partially-hooded trio behind it promises that the software is ideal for use with protyping boards from Arduino, Evil Mad Science, Lilypad, Seeed Studio, Wiring and SparkFun, and they even claim that elementary school students have used it to "take their projects from concept to reality in just a few hours." Purists should have no fear either: you can still get into a code view to see what's going on behind the scenes. A web-based Modkit Micro is being offered online starting June 1st for $25, and there'll be a desktop variant for Windows, OSX, and Linux as early as July if they reach their funding target. Check out the video after the break and then try to get your kids to wait for college before inventing version 2.0 of this.

Rumors That Won?t Go Away: Microsoft Office Coming to iPad

MS-Office-for-iPad

Back in February The Daily, the first iPad-only newspaper, published a report saying that Microsoft was working on a version of Microsoft Office for iPad, it was nearly complete, and they had even got some hands-on time with ?a working prototype? of the software.

This week the Boy Genius himself. Jonathan Geller of BGR, says he has learned from a reliable source that Microsoft is planning to release MS Office for the iPad and Android tablets ? and they?re aiming for a November launch.

Their source also claims to have seen Microsoft Office running on an iPad and mentions that the splash screen for it says ?Office for iOS? ? which suggests there would be an iPhone version as well.

If we knew some specific dates for when the new Windows 8 tablets will launch (if ever) then we might be able to start guessing how long afterwards Microsoft would see fit to allow their office suite on other mobile platforms.

If and when Microsoft Office comes to the iPad, I think it?s a clear win-win situation for Apple and Microsoft. For Apple it?s another premier productivity suite and some flagship apps (especially for many corporate iPad users) and for Microsoft it would be a huge boost for their leading software suite in the rapidly growing mobile arena.

Roddick loses in French's 1st round; Williams wins

PARIS (AP) ? Easy to understand why Andy Roddick never enjoyed playing on red clay all that much.

First and foremost, the footing is tricky as can be. The soft courts take his booming serves and forehands down a notch, too. Put simply, his game is built for hard or grass courts. As if that weren't enough, he arrived at this French Open having played only 16 matches in a season interrupted by injuries to his right hamstring and right ankle.

If Roddick was tempted to sit out Roland Garros altogether ? or tempted to use his health or rust as an excuse for playing poorly ? he did not. The 26th-seeded American, once ranked No. 1 and once a Grand Slam champion, gave it a shot and came up short Sunday, exiting in a major tournament's opening round for the first time since 2007, and at the same venue.

His 6-3, 6-3, 4-6, 6-2 loss to 88th-ranked Nicolas Mahut at the French Open dropped Roddick's record to 7-10 this season, 0-4 on clay. Of the seven previous major title winners in action on Day 1 in Paris, including Venus Williams in her first Grand Slam match since revealing in August she was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, only Roddick was beaten.

"Wasn't playing really well. I move just horrendously out here. My first step is just so bad on this stuff," Roddick said. "I feel like I'm always shuffling or hopping or not stopping or something."

Like Roddick, and for much the same reasons, Williams is not nearly as comfortable on clay as faster surfaces.

She's also dealing with the difficult process of learning to live with Sjogren's syndrome, a condition that can cause fatigue and joint pain. But the 31-year-old Williams, a seven-time major champion, overcame a slow start Sunday to beat 19-year-old Paula Ormaechea of Argentina 4-6, 6-1, 6-3.

"A lot of it, I have to figure it out. It's physical and emotional and all kinds of different things. Mental," Williams said of her medical condition. "It's a big accomplishment for me to be here right now."

She looked glum on court, not even smiling after most of her 41 winners (Ormaechea only had 15). But she laughed frequently during her news conference, such as when she talked about what she's been going through as "definitely an adventure and journey; it's life happening."

The other past major champions who won Sunday were Juan Martin del Potro, Juan Carlos Ferrero, Sam Stosur, Ana Ivanovic and Svetlana Kuznetsova. Monday's schedule includes Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer, Victoria Azarenka and Li Na.

Mahut hit more aces than Roddick, 13-8, and broke him seven times, including in the last game on Court Suzanne Lenglen, an arena the American is not fond of.

Roddick only once made it as far as the fourth round in 10 trips to Roland Garros, in 2009. He's lost in the first round five times now. And there's a reason the guy never saw success at the French Open the way he did at the U.S. Open (champion), Wimbledon (runner-up three times) or Australian Open (semifinalist four times).

"I just feel like I get exposed too easily out here. I feel like I'm not set on most shots. If you're not set, it's tough to get much of a flow going. When you don't have much of a flow going, it lends itself to sporadic play. It all adds up," Roddick said. "You can't fake it out here. ... It's tough to lie out here."

Back on tour last week after two months away, Roddick was asked a handful of times about his physical state and recovery.

"I'm going to not discuss it. I made a choice. I played. I'm fine. I lost," he said, his expression downcast under a blue baseball hat bearing the logo of his French sponsor.

"Not being confident on something isn't the same as just not being bothered with it. You know, as athletes, we're preconditioned to hope sometimes. Coming into this, I didn't have much to kind of prop myself up on," Roddick said. "But, you know, I played a guy who it's not his favorite surface either, so there was a chance. You just don't know. If everyone pulled out of every tournament when they weren't feeling great or confident, we wouldn't have a lot of fields that were much to write home about. We'd have about four people in most draws."

Mahut lost in the first round eight times in nine previous appearances in Paris. He is best known for losing the longest match in tennis history to John Isner, 70-68 in the fifth set at Wimbledon in the first round in 2010.

Mahut acknowledged the 29-year-old man he faced Sunday "was not the No. 1 Roddick, the No. 1 player in the world that we know."

Still, Roddick did make a bit of a stand, hitting a backhand passing winner down the line to take the third set, then breaking Mahut to open the fourth.

"Then," Roddick would lament, "it fell apart pretty quick."

Now it's on to a happier segment of the season.

"There are a lot of guys who know how to play on clay, and it's just second nature to them," Roddick said. "I feel that way on grass, so hopefully I can turn it around there."

He'll play next at Queen's Club, which starts in London on June 11, then Wimbledon.

After that, he wants to play at the Olympics, which will have tennis on the grass of the All England Club.

And what about his supposed plan to play mixed doubles at the London Games with Serena Williams?

"Ask her. I can't get ahold of her," Roddick replied. "If you see her, ask her for me."

How The Future of Mobile Lies in the Developing World

unicef-1In less than three decades, the mobile phone has gone from being a status symbol to being a ubiquitous technology that facilitates almost every interaction in our daily lives. One month after the world?s population topped 7 billion in October 2011, the GSM Association announced that mobile SIM cards had reached 6 billion. A 2009 study in India illustrated that every 10 percent increase in mobile penetration leads to a 1.2 percent increase in GDP. Yet patterns of mobile phone use in developing countries are vastly different from what you see on the streets of New York, San Francisco, and Berlin. This is a market underserved by technologists and startups. This is where the majority of future growth lies, and Silicon Valley has yet to realize the huge economic opportunities for network operators, handset developers, and mobile startups.?Where are these opportunities?
