Rimini Street Continues Strong Momentum in Israel and Eastern Europe
Company already supporting more than 55 clients in the region, including five of the 10 largest Israeli companies; Robust demand, fast-paced growth drive further investment and expansion
LAS VEGAS, March 14, 2016 - Rimini Street, Inc., the leading independent provider of enterprise software support services for SAP SE's (NYSE:SAP) Business Suite and BusinessObjects software and Oracle Corporation's (NYSE:ORCL) Siebel, PeopleSoft, JD Edwards, E-Business Suite, Oracle Database, Oracle Middleware, Hyperion, Oracle Retail and Oracle Agile PLM software, today announced that the Company has continued to experience strong momentum and growing demand for its award-winning independent support services in Israel and Eastern Europe. Rimini Street opened its regional headquarters in Tel Aviv in September 2014, and has accelerated and expanded its investment in local staff, support capabilities and operations in the region.
Israel and Eastern Europe Fast-Growing Markets
Enterprise Resource Planning software revenue for all software segments is forecasted to increase in 2016 by nearly 10.73% and 12.25%, in the Middle East and North Africa (which includes Israel) and Eastern Europe respectively, according to a recent report[1] from Gartner. Rimini Street already supports more than 55 global clients with operations in Israel and Eastern Europe, including Cellcom, Teva Pharmaceuticals, SWM International and Sitel Operating Corporation.
Proven IT Veteran and Former CIO Leading Regional Operations
Rimini Street Israel Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rimini Street, is led by general manager Jack Oster. Oster has been leading all sales and delivery of Rimini Street support services since April 2015, and is responsible for growing operations and driving revenue to support Rimini Street's fast-paced growth in Israel and Eastern Europe.
Oster is a proven technology industry veteran with experience building and leading successful, transformative IT organizations. Oster served most recently as the CIO of Cellcom Israel Ltd., the largest mobile telecommunications provider in Israel. Prior to that, he was senior director of Global Delivery and Shared Services at Teva Pharmaceuticals, where he was also part of the Global IT Management Team. Earlier in his career, Oster was a senior manager at KPMG Consulting in its Hi-Tech and Supply Chain Management practice.
"Israel is the 'start-up nation,' and quick to embrace new disruptive technologies and innovative modes of operation. A mature ERP landscape, combined with IT executives who are pushing for rapid time to value while seeking to maintain their IT budgets at a steady state, have contributed to the incredible momentum for Rimini Street's independent support in Israel over the last 18 months," explained Oster. "Furthermore, CIOs in Eastern Europe are now placing more emphasis on technologies and innovations that will enable digital transformation within their organizations. This environment is ripe for Rimini Street support as an ideal solution for Eastern European companies looking to maximize their investment in growth and innovation."
Oster added, "By allowing Oracle and SAP licensees to run their existing ERP applications for a guaranteed 15 years, and delivering premium-level services and hyper-responsive SLAs that are virtually unheard of in this industry, Rimini Street's independent support model is a game-changer for the Eastern European and Israeli markets as strategies and budget shift from an ERP-centric focus to digital, customer-facing innovation."
Majority of IT Budgets Allocated Towards Keeping Lights On
According to prominent Israeli analyst firm STKI, 60 percent of IT budgets in Israel are allocated towards ongoing maintenance and support.[2] Moreover, the majority of overall IT spending in Eastern Europe will remain the same in 2016, compared with 2015, according to Gartner.[3]
As the leading independent software support provider, Rimini Street helps clients free up significant budget previously earmarked for expensive, low-value software vendor annual support fees. In addition, Rimini Street delivers premium-level support, at no additional fee, including support for customizations, a 24x7x365 support model with an assigned Primary Support Engineers (PSE) and ultra-responsive service with average urgent case response times of less than five minutes.
"The CIO and IT executive roles are under growing pressure from two implacable forces. On one hand, maintaining existing IT systems to ensure they continue to run smoothly. On the other, digitizing and applying the latest technology innovations to the organization, like cloud and SaaS," commented Dr. Jimmy Schwarzkopf, research fellow and managing partner, STKI. "Increasingly, companies have discovered innovative options like independent support can allow them to adapt their IT organizations in order to realize both objectives."
"Israel and Eastern Europe are two of the most rapidly evolving and dynamic markets in the world today. Jack's extensive experience and unique perspective on what propels IT adoption among organizations is key to Rimini Street's fast-paced growth in the region," said Seth Ravin, Rimini Street CEO. "For over a decade, Rimini Street has continued to widen its global footprint and increase market awareness in key markets around the world in order to offer a value-driven enterprise software support program to organizations worldwide. We will continue to make strategic investments in high-growth markets like Israel and Eastern Europe to expand our presence and execute against our global business plan."

2017 Ockham New Zealand Book Awards judges announced
2017 Ockham New Zealand Book Awards submissions opening
Shearer, farmer and former soldier wins premier book award
New Book Award Named After Esteemed Historian
Ockham New Zealand Book Awards Finalists Announced
The 2016 Ockham New Zealand Book Awards will be judged by 12 eminent academics, writers, journalist, commentators, former publishers and booksellers from around New Zealand; a three-fold increase on the number of judges in previous years which reflects the Awards' new judging structure.
Each of the Awards' four categories — Fiction, Poetry, General Non-Fiction and Illustrated Non-Fiction — and the awards for Best First Book in those categories, will be judged by a panel of three judges, all specialists in their fields. A Maori language adviser will judge the Maori Language Award.
The judges will announce their longlist finalists on November 25, 2015, and their shortlist on March 8, 2016.
New Zealand Book Awards Trust chairwoman, Nicola Legat, says the judges selected for the Ockham New Zealand Book Awards are second-to-none.
"Authors and publishers can expect to receive the rigour and respect from this year's line-up that their books deserve. Rather than four judges reading 150 or more books, as has been the case previously, these specialists will read only the books in their category, allowing for a more detailed examination of the works," she says.
The Fiction category, whose $50,000 prize is now known as The Acorn Foundation Literary Award, will be judged by distinguished writer Owen Marshall cnzm; Wellington bookseller and reviewer Tilly Lloyd, and former Director of the Auckland Writers Festival and Creative New Zealand senior literature adviser Jill Rawnsley.
The Poetry Prize will be judged by former Auckland University Press publisher Elizabeth Caffin mnzm; James K. Baxter expert Dr Paul Millar, of the University of Canterbury, and poet and University of Auckland academic Dr Selina Tusitala Marsh.
The General Non-Fiction Prize will be judged by Metro Editor-At-Large Simon Wilson; Professor Lydia Wevers, literary historian, critic and director of the Stout Research Centre at Victoria University of Wellington, and Dr Jarrod Gilbert, a former Book Awards winner for Patched: A History of Gangs in New Zealand, of the University of Canterbury.
The Illustrated Non-Fiction Prize will be judged by former publisher Jane Connor, publisher of the magisterial The Trees of New Zealand, which won the Book of the Year award in 2012; Associate Professor Linda Tyler, Director of the Centre for Art Studies at The University of Auckland, and Leonie Hayden, the editor of Mana magazine.
"It's always an honour to be invited to judge these prestigious and important awards but also a major commitment of time," says Ms Legat. "So we are enormously grateful that these very busy and skilled people are happy to demonstrate their support for the awards by diving in to months of reading and debate. We very much look forward to their final longlist, shortlist and winner selections."
The winners will be announced on May 10, 2016, at an event at the Auckland Writers Festival.
The New Zealand Book Awards is enormously grateful to the generosity of its partners: Ockham Residential, The Acorn Foundation and enduring funder Creative New Zealand.

Lender Mortgage Insurers (LMI): Are insurance companies that financial institutions purchase insurance from over mortgage payment defaults.
It's commonly known within the Australian lending market that loans over 80% loan-to-value ratio (LVR) will likely require a LMI policy.
Lenders' Mortgage Insurance (LMI) or Low Deposit Premium (LDP) may apply where there is an increased risk associated with a home loan. The circumstances of your loan determine whether a loan will incur LMI or LDP. They are a one-off cost and not a fee for the establishment of a loan.

Yes, the $9.95-a-month movie-a-day MoviePass works
We put it to the test at the theater chain that's been most against the concept.
Yes, the $9.95-a-month movie-a-day MoviePass works We put it to the test at the theater chain that's been most against the concept. Check out this story on USATODAY.com: https://usat.ly/2wWf4qm
Daniel B. Kline, The Motley Fool Published 9:07 a.m. ET Aug. 28, 2017 | Updated 9:10 a.m. ET Aug. 28, 2017
Netflix co-founder Mitch Lowe has a radical new business model for his startup MoviePass. Time
MoviePass promises access to one movie a day, every day.(Photo: Getty Images)
When MoviePass first made it public that it intended to offer members access to one movie a day at over 90% of theaters in the United States for just $9.95 a month, the announcement was met with a lot of skepticism.
That was at least partly because the deal seems too good to be true. Since the average price of a movie ticket hit an all-time high of $8.84 in the first quarter of 2017, according to the National Association of Theater Owners, MoviePass loses money if members see just two movies a month.
The company, which was started by Netflix co-founder Mitch Lowe, told Motley Fool in an email that it plans to cover its deficits by selling the data it amasses. That seems a little far-fetched, but that's what Ted Farnsworth, CEO of Helios and Matheson Analytics Inc. (which owns MoviePass) told us.
For now, it's selling access at $9.95 a month. And while it seems too good to be true, it does actually work. And while it's not a particularly smooth system, it got me a ticket to a movie without too much trouble.
How does MoviePass work?
MoviePass, it's worth noting, has actually been around for a while at price points ranging from $30 to $50 a month. At those prices, it essentially had the same model as many gyms, where it offers just enough value that people don't quit even when they are not getting their money's worth.
To get and use MoviePass consumers must follow five steps:
Download the company's app on an Android or iOS phone
Wait 5-7 business days for your card to arrive
Go the theater where the movie you intend to see is playing.
When you are within 100 yards of the theater, you can check in and essentially tell the app you intend to buy a ticket.
Use your MoviePass card (it's a MasterCard debit card) to buy your ticket at a kiosk.
When I first used the system I walked over to a theater owned by AMC Entertainment Holdings (NYSE: AMC), a company that came out strongly against MoviePass. The theater chain called the $9.95 offer "not in the best interest of moviegoers, movie theatres, and movie studios," in a press release and said it's pursuing legal strategies to block it.
So far, that has not worked. I was able to walk up to my local AMC-owned Muvico theater, pick a movie, check in, and buy a ticket. It wasn't a completely smooth process — the check-in took a few tries, and MoviePass does not explain what to do once you complete that. I assumed that I would be using the "pickup pre-ordered tickets" feature at the kiosk. In reality, you go through as if you are buying a new ticket and simply use your MoviePass card to pay. Once you do that you get a ticket that looks no different from one purchased any other way.
It still may be too good to be true
MoviePass works well enough that I plan on seeing some movies I otherwise may not have. That's perhaps good news for some films that are not blockbuster hits, but it also shows how untenable the company's model is.
For every film I see, MoviePass pays my local AMC full price (roughly between $9 and $11 dollars) for any non-3D or IMAX film I want a ticket for each day. I generally see maybe 2-3 movies a month, perhaps more in the summer. With MoviePass I will probably see at least one each weekend, bringing along my wife and son. That's roughly $120 worth of movie tickets a month that MoviePass must buy on $29.85 in revenue without getting any sort of kickback from the most theater chains (the company does have deals with a few smaller players).
That's a big deficit, and the data MoviePass will gather has some flaws too. For example, the company will know that I was willing to see Despicable Me 3 for free, and lots of other movies I would not pay for.
It's hard to see this business model having any sort of long-term viability despite what MoviePass claims about monetizing its data. At some point the company will either go away, raise its prices, or be squeezed out by AMC finding a legal or technical angle to block it.
For movie fans, this is an enjoy-it-while-it-lasts situation that does work, but probably won't last too long.
Daniel B. Kline has no position in any of the stocks mentioned. The Motley Fool owns shares of and recommends IMAX, Mastercard, and Netflix. The Motley Fool has a disclosure policy.

Human Serum Amyloid A (SAA): biomarker of inflammatory response from tissue injury or trauma. Precursor to AA (inflammatory) amyloidosis.
Human serum amyloid A (SAA) is an acute phase protein that acts as a biomarker of inflammation caused by tissue injury or other traumas. The typical concentration of SAA in human blood in about 1-10 ug/ml, but during inflammation, this concentration rises to levels above 1 mg/ml (1). The primary function of SAA is to recycle and reuse cholesterol in the cell membranes of new cells produced in response to damaged tissue repair and inflammation. Human SAA is useful for studies of AA amyloidogenesis, as it acts as a precursor to AA amyloidosis. Though its role in inflammatory response is widely accepted, more research is warranted to fully understand the role of SAA in the reparation of damaged tissue and its impact on HDL as a source of reverse cholesterol transport (2).
Advanced ImmunoChemical offers eight monoclonal antibodies specific to human serum amyloid A (SAA). The MAbs can be measured in plasma by sandwich immunoassay, as well as immunodetection by Western blotting. All of the antibodies have shown to correctly identify the human isoform SAA1 as well as endogenous SAA.
Increased levels of SAA are associated with various inflammatory diseases, autoimmune diseases, viral infections, and secondary amyloidosis. Secondary amyloidosis is often linked with diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and tuberculosis, causing SAA to be a valuable indicator of these diseases (3). In addition, the levels of SAA can be used as a predictor of the rejection of acute renal allografts in renal transplant patients (4). Measuring the concentration levels of SAA in the blood can give rise to the ability to diagnostically predict inflammatory responses and effectively modify inflammatory treatments.

Cajuns Softball closes regular season with series sweep of ULM
LAFAYETTE – With a 5-3, 1-0 doubleheader sweep on Saturday at Lamson Park, 21st-ranked Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Softball completed a series sweep of ULM on Senior Weekend.
Louisiana (36-13, 21-6 Sun Belt) also remained alive for the Sun Belt Conference regular season championship after Texas State split its twinbill with UTA. The Ragin' Cajuns can capture the title with a Bobcats loss on Sunday.
It was a four-run third inning that propelled Louisiana to the Game 1 triumph. Alissa Dalton, Carrie Boswell and Lexie Comeaux delivered three straight run-scoring hits for the decisive blow. Freshmen pitchers Casey Dixon and Carrie Boswell combined to lock up the series clincher.
In Game 2, Casidy Chaumont's two-out RBI single in the second inning was the difference. Summer Ellyson, who tossed a 14-inning shutout Friday night, pitched five scoreless innings in relief to cap off her dominant series performance.
The Ragin' Cajuns extended their school-and Sun Belt-record streak of consecutive conference series won to 46 straight dating back to March 2013. It's the fifth straight season (2014-18) that the squad wins every SBC series.
No. 21 Louisiana awaits its assignment for the Sun Belt Conference Tournament set for Wednesday-Saturday, May 9-12 at Lamson Park. The Ragin' Cajuns, who have secured a Top 2 seed for the event, have a bye from opening day action and will begin play on Thursday, May 10.
THE BASICS OF GAME 1
Comeaux (2-for-3, RBI) and senior Kelli Martinez (2-for-2, 2 runs) both delivered a two-hit performance. Kara Gremillion, Dalton, Boswell and Comeaux each accounted for an RBI in the four-run third inning.
Dixon started and held ULM (24-28, 10-17 Sun Belt) to one earned run and two hits in four innings. Boswell worked the final three innings to record her first collegiate save.
Louisiana put pressure on the Warhawks to snap a scoreless tie in the third inning. Chaumont (walk) and Martinez (bunt single) each stole a base after reaching and quickly runners were at second and third with no outs.
Gremillion forced home the first run with a grounder to second, then Dalton began the hit parade which stretched the advantage to 4-0.
The Warhawks picked up two runs in the fourth inning, but made a miscue in the bottom half of the frame which gave the Ragin' Cajuns an insurance run.
Senior Brittany Rodriguez (2-for-2, 1 run) collected a two-hit outing and scored the winning run off Chaumont's single in the second inning.
Senior Kylee Jo Trahan started and set the tone in the circle with a pair of scoreless innings. Ellyson took over in the third inning and escaped her lone jam when the visitors came up empty after runners at second and third with no outs in the sixth inning.
Dalton (2-for-3) also had a two-hit game which included her team-leading 11th double of the season.
After Trahan stranded a Warhawks runner in scoring position each of the first two innings, the offense backed her up in the bottom of the second. With two outs Rodriguez doubled and Chaumont followed with the game-winning hit.
Ellyson controlled ULM the final five innings with the visitors only able to get single hits each of the final four frames.
– Summer Ellyson's pitched 19 scoreless innings in under a 24-hour span during the series.
– Summer Ellyson extended her string of consecutive scoreless innings pitched at Lamson Park to 34-1/3 innings (dates back to Texas State finale).
– Summer Ellyson concluded the regular season 16-2 with a 1.01 ERA at home inside Lamson Park. On her home turf, she yielded just 21 runs and 69 hits over 125-1/3 innings pitched.
– Since April 1, the Ragin' Cajuns pitching staff sports a 1.00 ERA over 70 innings pitched
at Lamson Park – site of the next week's Sun Belt Tournament.
– Alissa Dalton picked up her team-best 20th multiple-hit game in the nightcap. Dalton's 67 hits rank her Top 5 in the Sun Belt and among the Top 75 nationally.

Amed is a small village clustered around a single road that circles the sheltered bay. This calm bay has little in the way of current and the snorkeling sites are reached directly from the beach. Amed or Jemeluk Bay is home to yet more of the incredibly diverse marine life that makes Bali snorkeling a real treat. Expect to find Parrot Fish, Angel Fish, Bat Fish, Moorish Idols, Snappers and so much more. You may even be lucky enough to see a Green Turtle or a Small Reef Shark.


The GDSS' Official Dinner & Awards Ceremony on 26th May, was another highlight of the Summit programme and celebrated the winners and finalists of the three Department Store Awards.
Harvey Nichols won the biennial Summit's first Window Campaign at a Department Store award for its'Avoid Gift Face' campaign. Janet Wardley, Head of Visual of Harvey Nichols, received the trophy from Raul Sanchez, Head of Visual Merchandising at Jelmoli. "It is a great testament to our brand that the visual displays have resonated not only with the leading experts in this field but with the public too" said Stacey Cartwright, CEO Harvey Nichols. " I am extremely proud of the creative team behind our iconic window displays. Our in house team, headed up by our Head of Display, Janet Wardley, all work so tirelessly to create innovate displays that have clearly captured the imagination of so many admirers around the world. This is a fantastic achievement and I'm tremendously proud of the team." This category celebrates one of the industry's oldest and most iconic communication channels and recognises the creativity, innovation and talent of visual merchandising teams. The criteria for this award includes: concept and idea, complexity, artistic component and originality/ zeitgeist; quality of execution; impact on sales and footfall, as well as media coverage. Award finalists Myer (Australia), represented by CEO Richard Umbers and La Rinascente (Italy), represented by CEO Roberto Baldan, received trophies for their respective campaigns 'Little Dog & The Christmas Wish' and 'Edible Monsters'.
Selfridges won the Summit's first sustainability award for its 'Buying Better, Inspiring Change' campaign. Managing Director Anne Pitcher received the Award from Manish Mandhana, CEO of Mandhana Industries. "More so than ever before, the role of business in society is changing," said Anne Pitcher. "Sustainability is no longer a bolt-on or a nice-to-have, it is integral to the success of any business. Over the last five years, we have deepened our understanding and commitment to sustainability, which has become increasingly aligned with our business strategy and is now a core part of both what we do, and how we do it." The award was created to foster greater corporate social responsibility leadership among department stores and reward best-in-class practices. This award has been judged on three criteria: the main idea including its originality and pertinence to the wider context of corporate social responsibility; execution, and resulting audience impact. The two other finalists of the category were represented by their CEOs: Ricardo Bennett, for Paris Department (Chile), and Khalid Al Tayer, CEO Retail of Al Tayer Retail (UAE), for their campaigns 'Ropa por Ropa' and 'I am Different Just like You'.
La Rinascente received the prestigious title of Best Department Store in the World 2016. "Winning this award is a great honour and a source of extreme satisfaction for the little shop established in Milan 150 years ago and now selected as the best department store in the world. It's a tribute to the work of all the people who ensure that every day la Rinascente is recognised as an ideal destination to enjoy a rewarding and engaging experience" said Alberto Baldan, CEO of La Rinascente, after receiving the winner trophy from Asli Karadeniz, CEO of Re-Orientation and Chairwoman of the Jury. The award recognises an exceptional world player that displays innovation and outstanding performances in all retail segments to all stakeholders. Criteria for the award include an enviable profile; successful developments and executions of product, store, online and service innovation strategies; delivery of an outstanding in-store experience; excellent customer service, and strong financial performance. The two other finalists of the category were also welcomed on stage to receive their trophies, with Managing Directors Anne Pitcher representing Selfridges (UK) and Stephen Sealey for Brown Thomas (Ireland).
More than 7,000 executives from the department store and retail industry – including suppliers and vendors – were invited to vote in the three categories. An international jury, made up of former retail executives and business experts, analysed and judged the entries following the industry vote.
IGDS would like to thank all participating department stores, together with the executives who voted for their favourite stores, and looks forward to presenting success stories of similar quality in 2018.

The iPad mini 3 is just as good as its predecessor, but its lack of feature upgrades doesn't justify its price and places it behind the Air 2 in specs. Unless you love Apple's fingerprint sensor and Apple Pay, you may want to opt for last year's model instead.

The iPad Air 2 and iPad mini 3 review
Apple iPad mini 3 review
The iPad mini 3 is still great, even if it's not a great deal.The iPad mini 2, on the other hand, is both — it's nearly exactly the same device minus a huge chunk of the price tag. Really, right now is a stupendously good time to buy an iPad mini 2.
A great tablet, but no longer the best deal
One of last year's best, the iPad Mini 3 is still a compelling choice despite the lack of upgrades. However, the nearly identical and significantly cheaper iPad Mini 2 is a smarter buy.
iPad Mini 3 Review: Buy the iPad Mini 2 Instead
It's disappointing that Apple is charging $100 more for a Mini that it didn't really upgrade. Perhaps, as its iPhones get bigger, the company wants to focus less on smaller tablets. The only good news that comes of this is that the older models are cheaper than ever.
Apple iPad mini 3 review: a touch more of the same
Apple's smaller tablet is about the size of a book and gains a Touch ID fingerprint sensor, gold colour and extra storage option – but that's it.
IPad Air 2 and Mini 3 Review: One Thumb Up, and An
Unless you're going to be doing a lot of Apple Pay shopping or you're gaga for gold, it's best to save the $100 and go with the Mini 2.
If you aren't desperate for Touch ID, this tablet
This is last year's tablet with Touch ID and a new colour - as we don't know how quickly Apple Pay is going to spread, it's hard to find a reason to recommend this tablet.
iPad Mini 3 Review: Apple's Small Tablet Stays M
The iPad mini 3 is still the best small slate available, even without significant engineering investment from Apple this year – but you have to really value the 'small' aspect of that to make it worth it.

iPad mini 3 Review – Refinement not Revolution
For those who want a compact tablet, strong battery life, a solid display, and the growing convenience of Touch ID, Apple Pay, and the well-stocked App Store, the iPad mini 3 is king of its niche. How that niche will evolve over the next 12-18 months remains to be seen.

VX je nejrozšířenější zástupce chemických bojových látek třídy V. Vyskytuje se jako bezbarvá až nažloutlá kapalina bez zápachu. Proniká do těla skrz kůži, oči a dýchací cesty. U zasažené osoby nejprve vyvolává nevolnost a kašel. Poté ochromuje dýchací svaly, což vede k silným křečovitým bolestem a končí smrtí.
Smrtelná dávka leží mezi 0,5 mg při vdechnutí a 5 mg při absorpci kůží.

Chemické vlastnosti
Díky své vysoké viskozitě a nízké těkavosti se látka VX navenek silně podobá motorovému oleji. Je obzvláště nebezpečná také proto, že je v běžném životním prostředí velmi stálá a nepodléhá žádným rozkladným reakcím. Je bez chuti a zápachu a může být rozšiřována buď jako čistá kapalina nebo ve směsi s jílem nebo mastkem ve formě pevné látky nebo i jako aerosol.

VX je inhibitor acetylcholinesterázy, tj. pracuje tak, že blokuje funkci tohoto enzymu. To vede k akumulaci acetylcholinu v prostoru mezi neuronem a svalovou buňkou a dochází tak k nekontrolované svalové kontrakci, jejímž výsledným efektem je ale nakonec ochabnutí všech svalů v těle. Trvalé ochrnutí svalstva bránice vede následně až ke smrti udušením.

Smrtelná koncentrace VX vyvolávající 50% úmrtnost 70kg muže pro dvouminutovém vystavení parám (15 l/min = lehká fyzická aktivita) je odhadována na 12–15 mg/m3 – tedy asi 2× méně ,než je nutno u sarinu. Smrtelná koncentrace par a aerosolu pro penetraci kůže je 150 mg/m3 po dobu 30–60 minut (pro 50% úmrtnost). Smrtelná dávka kapalného VX LD50 na holou kůži je 5 mg. 100% smrtelné dávky mohou být jen o pár desítek procent vyšší. Všechna data jsou odhadována pro nedostatek dat ze smrtících pokusů s lidmi. Běžně udávané hodnoty z armádních manuálů jsou asi dvojnásobné (počítají totiž se zdravými mladými muži s tréninkem, vybavením atp.).

Bojově efektivní je asi 500 kg VX na 1 km2 - při této hodnotě může kontaminace povrchů v prostředí vyvolat při delším působením smrt a častěji povede k zneschopňujícím poruchám zraku. Dávka na vyvolání poruch zraku (hledí pušky, operace letecké základny) bývá u nervových bojových látek o jeden až dva řády nižší než smrtelná.

Syntéza
Látka VX se vyrábí v několika následných krocích. Základem přípravy je transesterifikace, jejímž výsledkem je racemická směs obou enantiomerů. V prvním kroku je chlorid fosforitý methylován za vzniku methylfosfordichloridu. Výsledný materiál se nechá reagovat s ethanolem za vzniku diesteru. Ten je poté transesterifikován N,N-diisopropylaminoethanolem na fosfonit. V poslední fázi tento prekurzor zreaguje se sírou za vzniku VX. Celý proces lze schematicky popsat sledem následujících rovnic:

VX může být také dodávána jako binární chemická zbraň, kde je výsledná látka vytvářena až po odpálení střely za letu smícháním dvou složek. Binární VX je označována jako VX2 a je vytvářena smícháním 'O-(2-diisopropylaminoethyl) O′-ethyl methylfosfonitu, označovaného jako (Agent QL) s elementární sírou (Agent NE).

První pomoc a léčba
Při ošetření osoby exponované VX je třeba primárně odstranit tento kapalný prostředek z kůže ihned po dopravení jedince do nekontaminované oblasti nebo atmosféry. Dekontaminace kůže se provádí omytím kontaminované oblasti roztokem chlornanu a následným oplachováním čistou vodou. Dekontaminace samotného oděvu nemá prakticky smysl a je lépe zasažený oděv spálit. Pokud je to možné, měla by dekontaminace být dokončena dříve, než je oběť přijata k dalšímu lékařskému ošetření.

Jednotlivec, který byl exponován tímto nervovým bojovým prostředkem, by měl okamžitě dostat antidota – atropin a pralidoxim (2-PAM) a také injekčně sedativně-antiepileptické prostředky, jako například diazepam. V několika zemích jsou vojákům vydávána antidota nervových bojových prostředků ve formě autoinjektorů, například v armádě Spojených států je to prostředek Mark I NAAK.

Zajímavosti
VX měla být jednou ze zbraní hromadného ničení, kterými údajně disponoval režim Saddáma Husajna (osa zla) a které se staly záminkou pro invazi do Iráku v roce 2003. Ukázalo se však, že důvěrný zdroj z Iráku dodávající informace o zbraních hromadného ničení Saddámova režimu si vše vymyslel a silně se přitom inspiroval akčním filmem Skála z roku 1996. Ve snímku americký generál vyhrožuje, že vypálí na San Francisco rakety se smrtícím nervovým plynem VX, který byl skladován ve skleněných koulích, což ovšem v praxi není možné.

VX byl používán Kubou proti povstalcům v Angole v tamní občanské válce v polovině 80. let.

VX byl údajně 13. února 2017 použit k vraždě Kim Čong-nama v Malajsii. O průběhu incidentu ale panují některé pochybnosti, zejména vzhledem k omezenému nebo žádnému zasažení ostatních zúčastněných osob, což by mohlo ukazovat na použití jiného slabšího nebo časem znehodnoceného nervového jedu.

Delightful East Linton of Scotland
The River Tyne has long enabled a succession of mills to operate through a supply of water-generated power. The most prominent of these mills is the Preston Mill that is located just north east of the village of East Linton. The history of the town and the mill have long been intertwined. Today the town serves as the perfect place to stay when making a visit to this ancient mill. The Preston Mill has been the longest surviving working water mill since the 1600s. It is currently maintained by the National Trust of Scotland.
East Linton is situated just 35 km east of Edinburgh along the beautiful River Tyne. During the 16th century a bridge was built over the gorge that enabled travelers to journey more easily from Edinburgh to London. The development the importance of the town dramatically and it even became a vital staging post on the legendary Great North Road. Today you will find a number of charming hotels and restaurants along this route – many of which are very old. One example is the Bridgend Hotel. The hotel is appropriately named since it faces the end of the bridge.
The next major development to affect the town was the development of the East Linton Railway Station in 1846. Unfortunately the railway did not last, having been dissolved in 1960, but the East Coast main line continues to run through the village without stopping. Without rail transportation of goods, it became necessary to connect the main street in the village with the River Tyne. This has enabled farming and milling to be continued in East Linton down to this day.
The charming character of East Linton has been largely preserved through the development of the A1 trunk road that skirts the village and so keeps major traffic out the town's narrow streets and away from the historical bridge. East Linton is best known for its delightful village square and welcoming atmosphere – two things that continue to attract visitors on a regular basis. Despite the town's proximity to the city of Edinburgh, East Linton has somehow managed to preserve its rural identity. Therefore you can expect to enjoy charming country roads, homely little cottages and warm churches near this lovely little village.

Western Gailes
Western Gailes is located on the Ayrshire coast, where many of the best golf courses in Scotland, like the Royal Troon and Turnberry are located and is certainly worthy of their company. Western Gailes Golf Club, founded in 1897, sits on a narrow strip of land wedged between the Irvine Bay and railway tracks. It is just four miles from Glasgow Airport and is one of the finest true links of ...
Glenkinchie Distillery is one of the three remaining Lowland Malt Whisky distilleries. It owes its name to its location: a glen by the Kinchie burn near Pencaitland in East Lothian. Just 15 miles away from Edinburgh it nestles between the verdant Lammermuir hills and the small coastal resorts along the Firth of Forth where it meets the sea.
