No I was not flooded out.Not even the 1993 flood reached me.I live on a hill.Fortunate too that none of my family here were flooded.We were cut off for a couple of days on highway 55 and 44

       triffid,
Did you see the American and Chinese stock markets both 'tank' by losing a $trillion on Wall St., alone?!?!
       That's no little piece of pocket change.   AND it could continue indefinitely.   People thought (some?) that when I started this thread, I was a 'chicken little' windbag who didn't have the truth?   What about now?
       A new 'recession' could be around the corner and it'll be bad if it actually comes when oil reaches $15-$18/barrel.   The Saudis are shaking about the possibility, I'm sure.   No more yachts.   No more business jets.   Too much fuel burned to be worth the value, I'll bet.

Teamtlr seems to sell a lot of small molecule compounds appealing to enthusiasts. They don't look anything like a serious scientific vendor. I doubt they produce any of their own compounds.
GDF11 is a complex protein, which can only be produced using recombinant DNA manipulation with a fermentation system, and then quite sophisticated purification. There's no way that this company would have the capability of doing this. They would certainly be outsourcing it to someone.
If you want to get something which you are going to inject into your body, I would really recommend going with a very established manufacturer and vendor of similar compounds. There are all sorts of risks involved, from the simple ones of injecting live bacteria to the more subtle ones of getting too much endotoxin or other toxins.
Besides the risk that they won't supply the correct protein, or that they will supply the correct polypeptide with the wrong tertiary structure, there is also the risk that what they supply could prove life-threatening because of contamination, impurities, endotoxins, etc.
These risks are minimized if you purchase from real scientific suppliers who are already providing the same compound to research labs. Purchasing something this complex from anyone else is a roll of the dice with your own life.
 

We also need federal support for low-income lending; at the moment in 2008 when home prices plummeted, the government essentially outlawed private lending to the working class without adequately funding public programs to fill the gap. The result was nearly a decade of profiteering from cash investors who bought distressed properties for pennies on the dollar, then rented them at above-market rates to folks who couldn't qualify for a mortgage.

       I returned to this Reply, quoted above, for this reason:

       This's been going on for almost a week, that I know of.
All right, now:  My reason for starting this thread should be more plainly obvious now.   Challenge:  Is there a registered Member on the forum that has contrary issues concerning the subject of this thread?   I don't mind discussing/debating at this late date.   All I have to to is wait for a few more days and then see what going on with the Chinese.  I expect more of the same.
       Right now, I'm in a rent-free living situation where the doors are always locked and there are military veterans around; some of whom were combat trained---even on an elite level.   I've already said---I believe---get at least a sizable knife and make sure it's sharp.
       At.   The.   Very.   Least.
In California where I live, it's possible that anyone over 18 years old can buy and own a Samurai sword(replica).   The same goes for actual, real swords, but they usually start at $5,000 for a common example from Japan.   Real swords are hard to come by for the average American, but replica swords can be available at knife/gun shops or commercial expositions/shows.
       Just my 2 cents-going-on-$2.00's-worth.   You can decide how you want to take this and what to do about it, if you want to.
       Your move.

Okay, right.   My immediately previous posted Reply still stands, obviously.   You at least know what I think.   It's your decision if you want to take what's said in the articles above seriously or not.

Just trying to help.

       This is a long article, but the last sentence says it all.

      Most recessions have a small rise after an initial selloff that turns into a BAD subsequent selloff that, like, falls off a cliff.   This Great Recession should be the dilly that people never forget.
