A private company limited by shares, usually called a private limited company (Ltd.) (though this can theoretically also refer to a private company limited by guarantee), is the private limited type of company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales, Scotland, that of certain Commonwealth countries and the Republic of Ireland. It has shareholders with limited liability and its shares may not be offered to the general public, unlike those of a public limited company (plc).
"Limited by shares" means that the company has shareholders, and that the liability of the shareholders to creditors of the company is limited to the capital originally invested, i.e. the nominal value of the shares and any premium paid in return for the issue of the shares by the company. A shareholder's personal assets are thereby protected in the event of the company's insolvency, but money invested in the company will be lost.
A limited company may be "private" or "public". A private limited company's disclosure requirements are lighter, but for this reason its shares may not be offered to the general public (and therefore cannot be traded on a public stock exchange). This is the major distinguishing feature between a private limited company and a public limited company. Most companies, particularly small companies, are private.

Leukotriene D4 (LTD4) is one of the leukotrienes. Its function main in the body is to induce the contraction of smooth muscle, resulting in bronchoconstriction and vasoconstriction. It also increases vascular permeability. LTD-4 is released by basophils. Other leukotrienes that function in a similar manner are leukotrienes C4 and E4. Pharmacological agents that inhibit the function of these leukotrienes are leukotriene receptor antagonists (e.g. Zafirlukast, montelukast) and are useful for asthmatic individuals.
We could go on
Wonderin'
If it's gonna turn out like we planned it would
When we were young
And all we knew
Was what the hell it meant to live for the moment
Man one time it goes by so fast
C'mon hey c'mon
Let's stop messin' around
It's all about tonight
It's all about right here and right now
C'mon hey c'mon
We gotta make this one count
It's all about tonight
It's all about right here and right now c'mon
We sit around
And laught about
The way we used to talk when we could dream out loud
When we'd show em all
And prove them wrong
Believing every word in all our favorite songs
What the hell is so different now
C'mon hey c'mon
Let's stop messin' around
It's all about tonight
It's all about right here and right now
C'mon hey c'mon
We gotta make this one count
It's all about tonight
It's all about right here and right now c'mon
Tomorrow's not for sure
