Physicians commonly prescribe Metformin if you have Type 2 diabetes and need help controlling your blood sugar. It reduces how much glucose you absorb from food and the amount your liver produces. On rare occasions, however, Metformin causes liver dysfunction and a serious metabolic condition involving the liver. For this reason, physicians exercise caution when prescribing Metformin to patients with liver disease.
In healthy individuals, the liver produces glucose to keep blood sugar stable when you haven't eaten for several hours. Uncontrolled glucose production in the liver may cause high blood sugar in individuals with Type 2 diabetes. Researchers discovered that Metformin blocks critical enzymes involved in signaling the liver to produce glucose, thereby decreasing blood sugar levels. Their work was reported in the February 2013 edition of the journal "Nature."
Your muscles, brain, skin and other tissues produce a substance called lactic acid. Under normal circumstances, your liver and kidneys remove lactic acid from the blood and convert some of it to glucose. If a life-threatening metabolic condition known as lactic acidosis occurs, lactic acid levels increase faster than the liver can keep up with. Though its mechanism is unclear, Metformin causes lactic acidosis in a small segment -- up to 1 percent -- of patients, according to NYU Langone Medical Center. Almost all reported cases occurred in patients with underlying metabolic issues, such as liver or kidney disease.
According to LiverTox, a publication of the U.S. National Library of Science drug database, Metformin may occasionally cause mild liver toxicity, characterized by minor elevations in liver enzymes. It occurs in less than 1 percent of the patients taking Metformin and usually appears within the first one to eight weeks of treatment, according to LiverTox. Liver problems usually resolve quickly once you stop taking the Metformin, according to LiverTox.
Your liver is a critical organ that is responsible for detoxifying your blood. While Metformin influences the liver in some positive ways that result in decreased glucose output, it's capable, under rare circumstances, of negatively affecting liver function. Seek immediate medical attention if you notice signs of liver toxicity, which include weakness, fatigue or jaundice.

Q: Cannot import JavaScript files in a JavaScript UWP project I am trying to use import functionality in a JavaScript UWP project so that I can divide my programs into smaller modules.
I create a basic Blank Project via Visual Studio 2017. I choose the April update for minimum and target SDK versions. This gives me a main.js and index.html.
First, I add my own JavaScript file named mymodule.js. The content of mymodule.js is like this:
export default function sum(x, y) {
    return x + y;
}

I change the main.js content to:
import { sum } from './mymodule';

window.onload = function () {
    const result = sum(2, 3);
    console.log(result);
};

And finally, I add type="module" to main.js include line on my index.html:
<!DOCTYPE html>

    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <title>App2</title>
    <link href="css/default.css" rel="stylesheet" />

Content goes here!

The problem is that, nothing is written to console. Also, I cannot put breakpoints to main.js anymore. It says "No symbols have been loaded for this document".
If I remove the import line and replace the call to sum() function with a literal, everything works as expected.
So something goes wrong but no error message is given by Visual Studio or console. What might be the problem?

A: Import/export is from ES6 which is not supported in UWP platform.

Liushar, geboortenaam Thubten Tharpa (1913-1984) was een Tibetaans geestelijke en politicus. Hij was de laatste minister van buitenlandse zaken van Tibet

Liushar werd benoemd tot la-chag (functionaris van financiën) in mei 1938. Hij werd bevorderd tot dzasa en tot monnikminister benoemd voor buitenlandse zaken in de Kashag in februari 1948.

Hij vormde hij samen met de islamitische zakenman Ramzan een joint venture om in 1958 de bioscoop Diki Wolnang of Gelukkig Licht te bouwen, ten westen van de Jokhangtempel tegenover de Yuthog-brug.

In 1959 vluchtte hij ten tijde van de opstand in Tibet tegelijk met de veertiende dalai lama in Indiaas ballingschap, waarna hij zelf ook niet terugkeerde naar Tibet.

Alleged California shooter attended nearby mosque
Director of the Islamic Center of Riverside says Syed Farook's actions contradict the teachings of Islam.
Syed Farook, the alleged shooter in Wednesday's rampage in San Bernardino, attended daily services and celebrated his wedding reception at a nearby mosque, Reuters reported on Thursday.
Mustafa Kuko, director of the Islamic Center of Riverside, told the news agency that Farook attended morning and evening services from 2012 to 2014 before stopping abruptly.
In 2013, Farook asked for Kuko's blessing to marry a Pakistani woman living in Saudi Arabia.
Kuko said he felt betrayed by Farook's alleged actions, which he said contradict the teachings of Islam.
Earlier on Thursday, it was reported that Farook had been in contact with terrorists.
Investigators said that Farook was in touch by phone and social media with more than one international terror suspect, without specifying what terror groups they belonged to.
An investigation of Farook and his wife's house later revealed thousands of more rounds of ammunition, 12 pipe bombs, and hundreds of tools that could be used to create pipe bombs or improvised explosives, according to police.
Aside from Farook, also killed in the shootout with police was his wife Tashfeen Malik, 27, with whom he evidently traveled to Saudi Arabia in order to marry.
Saudi Arabia later confirmed that Farook had visited Saudi Arabia in the summer of 2014, and also noted it had no records indicating that his wife was a Saudi citizen.
The FBI has said that terrorism is a possible motive in the shooting, but President Barack Obama told journalists on Thursday that "at this stage, we do not yet know why this terrible event occurred."
"We do know that the two individuals who were killed were equipped with weapons and appeared to have access to additional weaponry in their homes. But we don't know why they did it," he added.

Jurisdiction - Hong Kong
Hong Kong – Staying A 25-Year Old Winding Up Proceeding.
Legal News & Analysis – Asia Pacific – Hong Kong – Insolvency & Restructuring
In the unusual case of Albert Edward Rodrigues v Associacao Portuguesa de Socorrous Mutuos (in liquidation) (HCMP 1391/2014), the Hong Kong Court of First Instance ordered a permanent stay of a company's creditors' voluntary winding up which has technically been going for 25 years, and in so doing reminded us of the applicable principles and the fact sensitive nature of such applications.
The Associacao Portuguesa de Socorrous Mutuos (the "Association") is a Hong Kong company limited by guarantee, incorporated in 1915 to promote the welfare of the Portuguese community in Hong Kong.
In October 1989, the members of the Association passed a special resolution resolving that it be voluntarily wound up. At that time, the Association was solvent and the intention was to transfer its assets to another entity with much the same purpose. However, rather than a members voluntary winding up then proceeding as it should have done in the ordinary course, several very unusual irregularities instead occurred:
The necessary notice of appointment of liquidators had not been filed with the Companies Registry upon a change in liquidators;
The date on the special resolution submitted to the Companies Registry was inaccurate, and had not been corrected;
The Company had not presented a declaration of solvency, as required by s 233 of the former Companies Ordinance (Cap 32), the effect of which was that technically the winding up would proceed as a creditors' voluntary winding up;
Although advised by the Companies Registry in August 1990 to apply to the Court for an order staying the (creditor) winding up proceedings so that a members' voluntary winding up could start afresh, no steps were taken to do so; and
Nothing further was done to liquidate the Association. On the contrary, the Association continued to carry on its affairs and prepared audited financial statements every year. The intended liquidators even stayed on the board for some years.
To finally remedy these irregularities, earlier this year the Association applied for orders that:
The Association's current creditors' voluntary winding up be permanently stayed under s.209(1) Companies (Winding Up and Miscellaneous Provisions) Ordinance (Cap 32); and
All transactions of the Association be validated since it was placed into liquidation under s.184 Companies (Winding Up and Miscellaneous Provisions) Ordinance (Cap 32).
Principles for Staying Winding Up Proceedings
In his judgment dated 29 August 2014, the Honourable Mr Justice Harris stated that, in a voluntary winding up, the Court may make an order staying the proceedings if it is "just and beneficial" to do so. His Lordship then recounted the principles by reference to which the Court determines applications to stay winding up proceedings:
The power to grant a stay of winding up proceedings is discretionary;
The burden is on the applicant to make out a sufficient case that carries conviction. Before granting a stay, proof to the satisfaction of the court that all proceedings in relation to the winding up ought to be stayed is required;
Whether there are sufficient assets to pay all the creditors of the company and the expenses of the liquidation. The Court will also have regard to the interests of shareholders; and
The Court will also consider whether a stay is conducive or detrimental to commercial morality and to the interests of the public at large.
Analysis And Findings
This case turned on its unique facts. In applying these principles, Harris J found that this was a proper case for staying the technical creditors' winding up of the Association and to grant the validating order when considering:
There was nothing before the Court to suggest that the failure of the board to ensure that the Association's affairs were properly conducted was sinister or resulted from bad faith. Rather it seemed that the board simply didn't give those affairs sufficient attention, and that an investigation into the conduct of the affairs of the Association or the propriety of the board's behaviour and inactivity would only be of historical interest; and
The Association's creditors and the liquidation expenses can comfortably be paid out of the assets.
When faced with a choice between requiring the Association to liquidate its assets and proceed as it appears to have been intended in 1989 or allowing the Association to continue to do lawfully what in practice it has been doing for the last 25 years, Harris J found the latter to the more appropriate course to adopt; and
Accordingly, found little danger of anything being validated with such an all-encompassing order that should instead by properly impugned.
This most unusual case is both a timely reminder of the applicable principles and is illustrative of the highly fact-sensitive nature of the Court's exercise of its discretion in deciding stay applications. Although the Court had few difficulties in granting the orders sought in this case, one cannot assume that the Court will take the same attitude in other cases.
Also, it must not be assumed that the Court will normally look upon the inaction of liquidators so kindly. The character of the Association was more akin to a charity than to a commercial venture, and the amount of time that has elapsed means any investigation now would have little relevance.

When a loved one passes away, the feelings of helplessness washes over us. The desire to "do something" gnaws at our heartstrings. Tattooing has always been the ultimate act. The one thing you can do that truly lasts a lifetime. Just getting a tattoo is a statement within itself so it is natural to feel an urge mark your distress and loss with a memorial tattoo.
There is already a flurry of nervous energy when deciding to get a tattoo. This is normal and healthy. Grief is said to be sent to us in 5 stages; Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, and Acceptance. You are on the proverbial roller coaster of emotions.
Maybe you should wait until you are thinking clearly before marking your entire back with a portrait of your deceased dog. It might not be a good idea to write out a stream of consciousness explaining your current state of disbelief on your forearm. Depending on where you are in your grieving process, your decision making will be skewed.
It has been my experience that the perfect design will never live up to its required job. It is a big responsibility to immortalize the passing of a loved one. It will have to stand up to a barrage of critics from the client in mourning. A series of endless requests to resize, tilt, simplify, flip, flop squeeze, pinch, pluck and prod the drawing will surely become tiresome and frustrating for the artist and the client.
The reality is that maybe the act of getting a tattoo should wait. If the design doesn't look perfect and fitting for the occasion, that tells me the hurting soul is not ready to let go. That is OK! Give it time. When you are ready to have closure on such a painful part of your life, the perfect design will just appear one day.


The long necklace is just one of one of the most classy pieces of fashion jewelry any type of females can have in her collection. The eternal favorite of the red-carpet, the necklace is capable of not only completing an appearance however contributing to it also.
It's one of the most exciting and seductive component of any type of outfit, usually so thrilling that you pick the clothing around the necklace. With such a broad range of necklace layouts being offered though, lots of ladies have a crisis when trying to determine what necklace to choose.
What sort of necklace would you choose for a particular event and what layout is a wonderful all-rounder?
The Festoon long necklace layout dates back centuries; Festoons stem from Greece suggesting a wreath or garland of woven flowers, leaves as well as branches. The festoon necklace styles mirror this in its style, consisting of strings of chain as well as various other aspects that are interwoven into a curtaining necklace.
Despite the fact that you can map it's beginnings back to old times, it hasn't quit the Festoon being a staple design of the modern day-to-day closet.
You can often spot a Festoon necklace by their draping components, and also the design included heavily in the Art Nouveau and Victorian ages. You will typically locate the Festoon necklace designs accented with gemstones, pearls, and precious metals.
The lavalier long necklace style came about at the beginning of the twentieth century. Containing a slender chain with a little necklace that has attractive rocks or aspects hanging from it this smooth and also very feminine design of the necklace has been prominent for many years.
Several lavalier styles also connect a small chain to a much bigger focal item. This design of necklace typically looks ideal with a feminine, light or bohemian style.
You will normally locate these to rest at princess length as well as sit listed below the collarbone.
The solitary hair pendant can include either a silver or a gold chain and will certainly have a single focal item or aspect. This jewelry style is among the most popular ones available as well as wearing a pendant necklace can be among the most flexible items in your closet.
With such a large variety of pendants readily available to pick from however, it can be among one of the most versatile pieces in your necklace collection. Your necklace might feature a priceless gem, an element or perhaps a tiny charm.
The beauty of a pendant necklace is it's easily customizable; you can make them stand out as gifts by individualizing them with initials. You might even select one that matches your birthstone which will not subdue your wardrobe.
You can often find these necklaces paired up with t-shirts, casual dresses as well as even a sweatshirt with denims.
The traditional handmade necklace styles such as a pearl necklace or graduated necklaces are likewise preferred amongst contemporary fashionistas.
Lariat long necklace designs are frequently longer in length than an opera length. These are typically described as rope or Y-necklaces.
The lariat is unique compared to various other necklaces designs because it doesn't have a clasp. The beads or chain develops a long rope that you can tie or draw via a rounded finder.
The lariat necklace will certainly frequently rest just below the tummy switch, yet you can wrap it around the throat a few times to form a choker.
A charm long necklace is extremely comparable in layout and design to a typical beauty arm band. Beauty necklaces are preferred not only as style accessories yet also as collectible gifts.
The basic sensation of an appeal necklace is that it can be fun and laid-back, and also include a variety of beauties that pertain to the wearer. Beauty styles have actually ended up being especially popular over the last few years many thanks to the trends established by business such as Pandora.
If you intend to mix up the designing, attempt going with a classic style charm necklace rather. It doesn't obtain any more vintage than 2000-year-old Roman Glass.
Choker long necklace designs have actually been preferred because the Middle Ages as well as are a layout which sits snugly around the neck. Designs like the Cleopatra-inspired item above are much more collar-like. You can normally readjust the sizing of a lot of choker necklaces quickly with different attachments around the neck.
Lots of people have customized chokers made to a particular size. Collars are typically made of either one solitary item of material or made from several various small elements.
Chokers are most prominent in velvet, gold, as well as ribbon as well as were a common alternative during the Victorian age. Recently these neck-hugging precious jewelry layout has actually come back into fashion taking runways by tornado around the world.
The collar can either rest very high up on the neck or just listed below the collarbone; you'll find that the 2nd alternative will be a little longer as well as dangle even more openly.
Some collar layouts will certainly additionally feature a necklace which hangs from the center. Amber pendant designs have been prominent in the past. Over the centuries necklaces have actually always remained in style, collars, however, have entered and also obsolescent constantly.
Recalling to when the neck line of garments was a lot reduced, the choker made a wonderful statement piece. Some also layered choker after choker, until they covered their entire neck in rubies and various other luxury products.

Matthijs de Haan is the first farmer in Holland with a full Guernsey cow herd. See this video for an impression.
Dr. Corrie McLachlan studies the correlation between dairy and health.
The Telegraaf of December 2010 published an interesting article about 'real butter'. The Guernsey butter gets its share of attention as well.


Thank you for your incite! Recently, I've been looking into the concept of investing; reading the Wallstreet Journal, countless YouTube videos, and online news stories, but none of them were this honest.
Your article is really interesting. I would appreciate knowing, in your experience, what has been the most frequent reason for startup failure?
There is no "most frequent reason." The world is incredibly creative in coming up with new ways for companies to fail. Just when I think I've seen it all, someone always comes along and surprises me.
I could (and maybe I should) write a book about all the different ways I've seen companies fail.
There is one problem though. Angel investors that are "learning" the process are really bad for the companies that they are learning from. Basically these meetings that you are talking about, is wasted time for founders. Even worse, when such angel investors are influencing the development process (because hey! Cool company A does that, we should it as well) then developers have problems out of nowhere from people who control the money and influence the company yet don't have the necessary experience to influence on the right way.
Green angels are only a problem if they don't recognize they are green. Experienced founders should want to cultivate new investment talent no less than experienced investors should want to cultivate new founder talent. A new investor who said, "I have no idea what I'm doing, but I want to write you a (small) check (which I'm absolutely prepared to lose) in exchange for letting me hang out and learn the ropes" should find a warm welcome.
no, this is demonstrably false. as you mention with YC, if investors really knew what they were doing, then their portfolio size would be n<5-10, rather than n>20-40 (or for early-stage, n>50-100).
even the best angel and VC investors get it "right" (ie, 10X or better outcomes) perhaps only 10-20% of the time. this is especially true if you are investing at early stages before the company has substantial revenue (or even tougher, pre-product). even at Series B/C or later when companies have real revenue (>$10-20M) most investments don't generate substantial returns >5X.
even experienced investors get it wrong most of the time. if they are lucky, their outliers will return a greater multiple than the small % of time they occur. that is to say, if i get a 20X return 10% of the time, or a 50X return 5% of the time, or a 100X return 2% of the time, then i win the game.
try and get great dealflow, ideally by investing alongside other experienced entrepreneurs... and, invest in a LOT of startups (at least 20, ideally more like 50-100). then wait ten years.
If the suggestion is to invest in ~50 companies how much is recommended per company, is ~$50,000 about right? That would come to $2.5 million for a portfolio of 50 companies. That's discouraging for first-time investors who may not have that amount of money to begin with.
@meitnerium, you can sometimes invest solo with $25k but if you want to be able to negotiate you will need to get several friends together and put in $100k or sometimes double that.
If you join an angel group, that group will have more combined capital and you can probably go in with as low as $5k per investment. You will learn a lot and meet a lot of people your first few years in an organized group. In any organized group there are much-more- and much-less-active members. If you are active, you can befriend the other active angels. With a group you can find people who are expert in various useful domains - either technical domains, or finance, and you can complement each other.
I agree partly with the author that there is a "cool kid" class of entrepreneurs / investors, but the cool kid companies tend to be expensive and there are definitely lots of genius folks who aren't extroverted enough to be "cool", but they can make good strategic decisions and knock out solid work. I have had decent luck making great technical contacts and finding solid companies that aren't quite at the Ashton Kutcher level of cool, but very solid technically and business-wise.
Finally, start with smaller dollar amounts until you figure out what you are doing... especially if you are solo... In fact I wouldn't advise investing solo initially, like going to demo days and just spreading money around. I would find some experienced friends or join a group. There is a ton that you (or your group) has to understand - the technical domains you are investing in, the kinds of markets you are investing in, all the terms and conventions around financing, a lot of legal stuff, etc.
Another way to start at the very beginning is to invest through syndicates on AngelList, but you won't learn so much that way. You paying carry to have the syndicate lead understand everything, and you won't be actively involved. But you could do a couple investments that way to try it.
The last paragraph is one that hits particularly close to my own experience. Raising money isn't the issue, but raising good quality relationships with depth and how they believe in you despite the challenge.
Kissing frogs is part of the game and most times you are the frog, but if you keep at it, keep reinventing, and hold your ground you might surprise yourself.
Don't take as what i wrote as advice, merely the agreed observations of a fellow traveler.
> no, this is demonstrably false.
It's not "demonstrably false" because I didn't define what I meant by "pretty good". At worst, it's a vacuous claim.
Experienced investors reject bad deals with odds better than chance, which improves their odds of finding the good deal. I put a lot of money into deals which, in retrospect, I could easily have seen ahead of time were never going to make it if I'd known what to look for.
$50k is a little on the high side, but only a little. I've done deals with as little as $5k, but only as part of a syndicate (Michael Palmer's suggestion of joining/forming an investment group is a really good idea!) Personally, I would not start investing seriously again unless I had a minimum of $1M to work with. I'd use half of it to do 10-15 deals at $10-25k and save the other half for 2-3 follow-ons in the low six figures for the ones that looked like they were going to succeed. But that's an absolute minimum. Ideally I'd like to have $5-10M to be a real player.
So what kind of things did you invest in?
Did anyone figure out the second kind of successful companies ?
what are your thoughts on equity crowdfunding platforms like SeedInvest? they generally require a min. investment of $500 or $1K. Is it worth it for a small time angel to invest $1K in 10 different companies or $500 in 20 different companies?
I'm a second $500K of funds seeking entrepreneur out in TNRNMWNMNH (i.e. take no risk no matter what no matter no how) Detroit with HeroHomes.com, my Zillow.com for the 23.3 million of my fellow military vets, our up to $424-721K each of no-money-down VA Loans home buying power, and correcting and leveraging the fact that up to 99.85% have no clue we can use this to buy and be resident landlords in up to entire renewed or new communities anchoring duplexes, triplexes, and quadplexes.
And with a $10-18 Trillion (not a typo) TAM, I fit your address a big unmet need criterion?
It looks to me, though, that angels and even VCs are lock stepping Lean Startup on small and derivative or me-too ideas...?
I only see Peter Thiel in Zero to One challenging Lean Startup (he says this is a hangover from the Web 1.0 dot-bomb era), YC type portfolio of lots of small investments (he says go few and fund big), you need to invest in big opportunities because risks are so high in all startups that the few that work out must make the portfolio, etc.
Actually one of my bucket lists was at the recent Silicon Valley Vet(eran)Con(ference) asking during Q&A Steve Blank how Lean Startup tracks against achieving Unicorn-ness and he said he didn't know. And this is The Godfather of Lean Startup and I think he only feeds into above said TNRNMWNMNH, particularly in the Midwest!
Being an ABD (is all but dissertation) PhD in Engineering, so I was once decent in statistics, and given all the variants of opportunities and outcomes that you cite, particularly that the better mousetrap often doesn't win, what about if it's all randomness and we're all kidding ourselves? And thus maybe you weren't on the mistaken path rather you just didn't do enough? That syndicates and angel groups and accelerators and incubators are "a camel is an elephant designed by committee" homogenizers into group think mediocre?
It's hard to set up a variability controlled trial, but seems to me that 400 plus samples drawn randomly always is the case.
So how about you and your angel investing compatriots fund, mentor, and demo day 400 randomly selected startups out of YC's reject pile and then let's compare?
Thanks Ron, brilliant post! I mostly agree, but not fully. Yes, the cool kids don't beg, they can (to some extent) pick their investors; but they will still be glad to take money from a newbie angel, what they will avoid are toxic angels, that waste your time and peace of mind.
Plus, you still won't be able to understand if those who are picking you are the winners or more con men.

A while ago, the Make: magazine people told the world about a neat little circuit board kit that plays a four-by-four version of Conway's Life. The kit's made by Dropout Design, one of the front-runners in the recent nerd-craze for LED-lit disco dance floors.
It was, regrettably, not actually buyable at the time, but it is now. $US19.99 from Make or, ahem, ten bucks from the manufacturers.
Four-by-four Life is kind of like four-square Tic-Tac-Toe, but the boards can be linked together at the edges to make a larger playfield - and you could presumably use long wires to link the edges of your playfield to each other for some good old toroidal wraparound action.
The docs (PDF) don't explain how the cells actually get populated in the first place, but this is the sort of thing that I presume they've, you know, thought of.
A more serious problem is that making a reasonable-sized playfield would get expensive pretty quickly. A mere 64-by-64-cell field would cost more than $US2500.
Those of us without the money to cover a wall with Life boards may prefer to try the disturbingly complete Mirek's Cellebration, which plays Life and just about every other cellular automaton anyone's thought of, probably including the rules which will turn out to govern the behaviour of quarks.
Side note: I've found two games in which Life is an easter egg. ADOM's herb bushes obey Life rules, and so does the fungus in Populous II.
This can be used to devastating effect in both games. Create an R pentomino in either one, and you'll be rolling in herbs in the first game, and turning the entire population of an area into wet sucking sounds in the second.
Anybody know of any other hidden Lifes?
Oh damn. Dan. I'm about to go on a 3 week holiday with the Girlthing, first in over a year, and you've forced me to include my DVD of abandonware (including Pop 2 and 3). I'm going to get in so much trouble.
Not sure if that will get me in more or less trouble than when she finds out I've sneaked in my Arduino, some LEDs, thermistors and a relay to take environment-triggered time lapse sequences.
Not necessarily 'hidden' (or even very surprising...), but there is a 'life' mode in emacs.
One of the opening screens for Darwinia (of which there are 10 or so) is a game of Life, using darwinians to represent live cells.

## 3.0.0

### Backwards Incompatible Changes

* [RUBY-852](https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/RUBY-852) Regular expressions that

  In order to get the regular expression compiled, call `#compile` on the returned object.

    raw.compile

### New Features

* `BSON::Binary` now implements `#inspect` with a truncated view of the data for
  better readability.

  be 1 microsecond inaccurate. (Francois Bernier)

## 2.2.1

### Bug Fixes

  [RUBY-714](http://jira.mongodb.org/browse/RUBY-714):
  Require time in `DateTime` modules when using outside of
  environments that don't already have time included.

## 2.1.0

### New Features

* `Date` and `DateTime` objects in Ruby can now be serialized into BSON. `Date` is
  converted to a UTC `Time` at midnight and serialized, while `DateTime` is simply
  converted to the identical `Time` before serialization. Note that these objects
  will be deserialized into `Time` objects.

## 2.0.0

### Backwards Incompatible Changes

* `BSON::DEFAULT_MAX_BSON_SIZE` has been removed, as the BSON specification does not
  provide an upper limit on how large BSON documents can be.

* `BSON.serialize` is no longer the entry point to serialize a BSON document into its
  raw bytes.

      For Ruby runtimes that support ordered hashes, you may simply call `to_bson` on
      the hash instance (Alternatively a `BSON::Document` is also a hash:

        { key: "value" }.to_bson
        BSON::Document[:key, "value"].to_bson

      For Ruby runtimes that do not support ordered hashes, then you must instantiate
      an instance of a `BSON::Document` (which is a subclass of hash) and call `to_bson`
      on that, since the BSON specification guarantees order of the fields:

        BSON::Document[:key, "value"].to_bson

* `BSON.deserialize` is no longer the entry point for raw byte deserialization into
  a document.

      For Ruby runtimes that support ordered hashes, you may simply call `from_bson` on
      the `Hash` class if you want a `Hash` instance, or on `BSON::Document` if you
      want an instance of that. The input must be a `StringIO` object:

        Hash.from_bson(stringio)
        BSON::Document.from_bson(stringio)

      For Ruby runtimes that do not support ordered hashes, then `from_bson` must be
      called on `BSON::Document` in order to guarantee order:

        BSON::Document.from_bson(stringio)

* Calling `to_json` on custom BSON objects now outputs different results from before, and
  conforms the BSON specification:

    - `BSON::Binary`: `{ "$binary" : "\x01", "$type" : "md5" }`
    - `BSON::Code`: `{ "$code" : "this.v = 5 }`
    - `BSON::CodeWithScope`: `{ "$code" : "this.v = value", "$scope" : { v => 5 }}`
    - `BSON::MaxKey`: `{ "$maxKey" : 1 }`
    - `BSON::MinKey`: `{ "$minKey" : 1 }`
    - `BSON::ObjectId`: `{ "$oid" : "4e4d66343b39b68407000001" }`
    - `BSON::Timestamp`: `{ "t" : 5, "i" : 30 }`
    - `Regexp`: `{ "$regex" : "[abc]", "$options" : "i" }`

### New Features

* All Ruby objects that have a corresponding object defined in the BSON specification
  can now have `to_bson` called on them to get the raw BSON bytes. These objects include:

    - `Array`
    - `FalseClass`
    - `Float`
    - `Hash`
    - `Integer`
    - `NilClass`
    - `Regexp`
    - `String`
    - `Symbol` (deprecated)
    - `Time`
    - `TrueClass`

* Custom types specific to the BSON specification that have Ruby objects defined for them
  may also have `to_bson` called on them to get the raw bytes. These types are:

    - `BSON::Binary`
    - `BSON::Code`
    - `BSON::CodeWithScope`
    - `BSON::MaxKey`
    - `BSON::MinKey`
    - `BSON::ObjectId`
    - `BSON::Timestamp`
    - `BSON::Undefined`

With these new additions, the statewide infection tally reached 66,47,840, while the death toll increased to 1,41,329, it said.
Eight fresh cases of the newly discovered coronavirus variant Omicron were reported in the state, 6 of them in Pune, taking their overall tally to 40, the department added.
On Thursday, the state had reported 877 COVID-19 cases and 12 fatalities.
A total of 680 patients were discharged during the day, taking the overall recovery count to 64,95,929, the department said in a bulletin.
The state now has 6,903 active cases of coronavirus.
Maharashtra's COVID-19 recovery rate is 97.72 per cent, while the fatality rate stands at 2.12 per cent.
"As per the report given by the National Institute of Virology today, eight more patients were found to be infected with Omicron in the state. Out of these, six patients are from Pune, one patient is from Mumbai and one patient is from Kalyan-Dombivali (in adjoining Thane district)," the health department said.
According to preliminary information, of the six Omicron patients in Pune, four have a travel history to Dubai and two are their contacts. The Omicron-affected patient from Mumbai had travelled to the US and the one from Kalyan-Dombivali Municipal Corporation limits had visited Nigeria.
"Out of these eight patients, two are in hospital and six in home isolation. The close contacts of these patients are being tracked. All patients have been vaccinated," the department added.
Of the 40 Omicron patients detected in the state so far, 25 have been discharged after a negative RT-PCR test.
The World Health Organization (WHO), which has classified Omicron as a 'variant of concern', recently said it is spreading at a rate not seen with any previous strain of coronavirus.
A total of 1,33,786 coronavirus tests were conducted in the last 24 hours, taking their overall number in the state to 6,74,41,806, the department said.
Currently, 79,556 people are in home quarantine and 886 others in institutional quarantine, it said.

There are two external expanding front pockets with a flap lid. The lid has a 5cm strip of 3M reflective and a light loop directly above. This bag was made for either front (for dirt) or rear (for road) use and will accommodate a variety of bikes, handle bars and different riding styles. The closure straps (C.W.S.) were designed to give adjustable positions for the optimal weight to tension ratio. You can load this pup up and really cinch it down to create a stiff and compact bag with minimal sway or sag when mounted appropriately. The bag has an internal structure to give form and an internal stiffener which will not bend or break. We designed this bag to open up new options on how your gear is carried, don't be afraid to get creative and try new mounting techniques!
Front or rear mount ability depending on road conditions and pack load. We suggest a light load for rear use and it performs optimally for road use but can be used in the dirt if packed appropriately i.e. heavy stuff at the bottom and cinched like hell!

Building 'The World' Off the Coast of Dubai
By Eric Weiner
Published June 13, 2005 at 11:52 AM EDT
MADELEINE BRAND, host:
This is DAY TO DAY. I'm Madeleine Brand.
In a few minutes, bringing even more exclusivity to golf. But first, perhaps, the extreme in exclusivity. You want to live in France? How about owning it, all of it? A development firm based in Dubai, one of the United Arab Emirates, is building a project it calls "The World," 300 manmade islands shaped like countries. From Dubai, DAY TO DAY's Eric Weiner reports.
ERIC WEINER reporting:
Dubai is a place where the superlatives flow like oil. Companies don't just build projects here, they build the world's biggest or tallest or most expensive. So it was perhaps inevitable that some company would eventually build the world itself.
Mr. HAMZA MUSTAFA (General Manager, Nakheel Corporation): We're looking at Nakheel's version of the world, which we are currently selling.
WEINER: That's Hamza Mustafa, general manager for Nakheel Corporation's "The World." The project makes sense, he says, because Dubai is fast running out of beachfront property, and advances in GPS technology mean that land reclamation, essentially building islands, can be done in much more precise and creative ways. In fact, this unprecedented project has a distinctly biblical flavor to it, sort of Genesis meets Las Vegas.
(Soundbite of boat motor)
WEINER: During the short boat ride from Dubai to Greenland, Hamza Mustafa explains that he never tires of seeing the world, his world, take shape.
Mr. MUSTAFA: There's always the sense of excitement, that something new is gonna happen, because we're creating the whole project from scratch. When this project started, it was nothing. It was what you see over here, it was just sea, just water, water, water everywhere. And just wait for 10 minutes and I'll show you what we've done in a year's time.
WEINER: Sure enough, about 10 minutes later, a land mass comes into view.
Mr. MUSTAFA: You see it? On the horizon.
WEINER: Yeah, I see it. That's Greenland?
Mr. MUSTAFA: That's Greenland.
WEINER: Greenland with palm trees.
Mr. MUSTAFA: The only place in the world.
WEINER: And a few places are conspicuous by their absence. In Nakheel's world, here is no Northern Ireland, no Israel, no Palestine, presumably because these trouble spots would ruin the fantasy of a perfect world. A perfect world, and a flexible one. Let's say you're a wealthy investor from Singapore and you're dismayed to find your homeland was too small to make it onto Nakheel's world. `No problem,' says Hamza Mustafa.
Mr. MUSTAFA: If I get a buyer who is interested and is reluctant not to buy unless he has Singapore, we'll build him Singapore. That's not an issue.
WEINER: So you can custom-build a country?
Mr. MUSTAFA: Absolutely. Absolutely.
WEINER: Mustafa dismisses rumors that a group of American investors was poised to buy France just to annoy the French. No one, he says, is going to spend $15 million--the average price of an island--out of spite.
He's also quick to dismiss environmental concerns about the project, claiming that no marine life is harmed by the dredging and pointing out that, in a way, he's creating 300 new habitats. The project is about 60 percent complete, with buyers coming from mainly the Middle East and Europe. The company's slick sales video appeals directly to potential owners' sense of grandeur.
(Soundbite of sales video)
Unidentified Man: For those who dream bigger, for those seeking an investment opportunity unlike any other on Earth, you are invited to find your very own place in "The World."
WEINER: "The World" is only the most extravagant of many extravagant projects under way in Dubai as the city-state continues to diversify before its oil reserves run dry in about 10 years.
(Soundbite of construction noises)
WEINER: Projects under construction include the world's biggest shopping mall, the world's tallest skyscraper and an amusement park called Dubailand that will supposedly dwarf Disney World. Actually, an amusement park in Dubai seems redundant. Dubai is a synthetic place with air-conditioned souks and other Arab kitsch. Locals joke that Dubai's call to prayer is `Attention, shoppers.'
Mr. JIHAD FRAKRADEEN: Dubai remains an enigma, you know, even for us who have been here for many years.
WEINER: That's Jihad Frakradeen(ph), a Lebanese who's lived in Dubai for the past 14 years.
Mr. FRAKRADEEN: Yes, we know Dubai wants to have so many buildings, so many shopping malls, a tourist destination, biggest airport in the world. But what about the soul of Dubai? It's very much missing.
WEINER: Hamza Mustafa brushes off these concerns. Dubai's soul, he says, is money and economic growth. Meanwhile, he continues to sell pieces of "The World." He'll entertain all inquiries, even those from a lowly journalist looking for a bargain.
What do you have in the bargain basement area islandwide?
Mr. MUSTAFA: The smallest island we have on "The World" is Bahrain.
WEINER: OK. How much for Bahrain?
Mr. MUSTAFA: That was around $6.5 million.
WEINER: It may be a small world, but for anyone other than the super-rich, it's a cruel one, as well. Eric Weiner, NPR News, Dubai.

U.S. Planting Last Week Caught up to the Average Pace
Some U.S. farmers last week planted their corn and soybeans at a record pace allowing the nationwide planting to catch up to the average pace. The weather this week is forecasted to be cool and wet especially in the eastern Corn Belt. As a result, the planting pace next Monday may again be slightly behind the average.
U.S. Corn - Last week was a good week for planting and as a result U.S. farmers planted 30% of their intended corn acreage in one week. The corn planting pace is now tied with the five year average. As of Sunday 59% of the 2014 corn crop has been planned compared to 26% last year and 58% for the five-year average. The corn emergence is now 18% compared to 5% last year and 25% for the average. Of the 18 major producing states 9 are ahead of the average planting pace and 8 are behind the average planting pace with one tie.
The five states furriest ahead in corn planting (percentage wise) are: Illinois (+25%), Missouri (+24%), Indiana (+16%), South Dakota (+11%), and Tennessee (+11%). The five states furriest behind in corn planting (percentage wise) are: Minnesota (-31%), North Dakota (-30%), Michigan (-21%), Wisconsin (-21%), and Pennsylvania (-14%).
As you can see, the area of concern for corn planting continues to be the northern arch of states from North Dakota over to Michigan. The most worrisome state is North Dakota where only 3% of the intended corn acres have been planted and the forecast for the state does not look very promising with more cool temperatures predicted for most of this week.
U.S. Soybeans - Farmers also made good progress with their soybean planting as well. As of Sunday, 20% of the soybeans have been planted compared to 5% last year and 21% average. Of the 18 major states, 9 are ahead of the average planting pace and 9 are behind the average planting pace. Most of the states that are behind in planting are also across the northern tier of states.
U.S. Acreage and Yield Estimates Remain Unchanged - Even though the corn planting pace caught up to average this week, the corn emergence rate will continue to be slower than average especially with the cooler temperatures forecasted for later this week. At the present time, I see no reason not to expect a nationwide corn yield in the range of 163-165 bu/ac. I also feel the corn acreage may be 500,000 acres more than the 91.7 million acres estimated in the March report. I think there will be some corn acres lost in the northwestern Corn Belt, but there may be some corn acres gained because the overall "acreage pie" used by the USDA could be 1-2 million acres too small.
Soybean yields also remained unchanged this week at 44-45 bu/ac and I feel the soybean acreage could end up 1,000,000 acres more than the 81.5 million estimated in the March report. Soybean acreage could be gained in the northwestern Corn Belt and also from an overall increase in the total planted acreage for all crops.
