What are the causes of velamentous cord insertion?

Frquently Asked Questions
Velamentous cord is one step beyond a marginal insertion -- an exaggeration of the same process. The term "trophotropism" has been used to explain that a placenta seeks a best blood supply and can grow in the direct of favorable blood supply and can atrophy where the blood supply is less favorable. Lower uterine blood supply is less optimal than higher up. If the placenta implants low, it may "migrate" by differential proliferation and atrophy.

If a woman has velamentous cord insertion, but not vasa previa, is it safe to deliver vaginally?

Frquently Asked Questions
Though it is common to deliver with a VCI without detriment to the baby, VCI carries risk even when not a vasa previa. VCI may be allowed a trial of labor if the vessels are away from the cervix. However, close continuous monitoring is mandatory. The vessels could rupture, and also pressure on the vessels could lead to fetal compromise. This can be detected early by monitoring.

Is there really a way to detect botters?

F.A.Q., Poker questions and answers
Poker rooms nowadays use a new technology called " DLL injection" to detect poker bots. What that means, is that they introduce a llh.dll into the software that you download from their site. This way, the poker client will track any programs that the user is running, and will quickly identify poker-bots. Some players argue that this is a blatant violation of their privacy, I personally think it's justified, and I suppose all other serious and fair poker players feel the same way.

How do they detect if you used EPO? I guess it shows in your hematocrit, and not some other way?

EPO (erithropoyetin) F.A.Q. Page
For a few days after you inject EPO, there is an overabundance of immature red blood cells... however, after 6 or 7 days, those immature red blood cells are already mature, and they are indistinguishable from any other mature red blood cell, so after 7 days they can't detect if you used EPO (unless the EPO had a marker, which some of them do...) At that point, they disqualify athletes with a hematocrit above 50% "for your safety"..
