Lakers Have Yet To Schedule Private Workout With LSU's Ben Simmons
Shaquille O'Neal Says 2001 Lakers Would Beat This Year's Warriors
Ryan Ward
The 2016 NBA Draft is only a few weeks away with the Los Angeles Lakers more than likely ending up with either Ben Simmons out of LSU or Duke's Brandon Ingram. Both have been considered to be the top two players in the 2016 draft class for some time, and while which should be taken first overall by the Philadelphia 76ers has been debated, it appears that Simmons will ultimately receive that honor.
On Wednesday, the Lakers will have a dinner with Ingram ahead of their private workout with the draft prospect on Thursday at the team's practice facility in El Segundo. Simmons, however, has yet to have a workout scheduled with the Los Angeles, according to Mike Bresnahan of the L.A. Times:
Lakers haven't scheduled a workout with Ben Simmons yet. Draft is 17 days away…
— Mike Bresnahan (@Mike_Bresnahan) June 6, 2016
With Philadelphia rumored to be leaning toward selecting Simmons rather than Ingram or any other top-tier prospect come draft day on June 23rd, that leaves the Lakers in an interesting position.
Once the Lakers are officially on the clock with the second overall pick, Ingram appears to be the clear choice for Los Angeles, though anything can happen between now and the draft. Ingram's stock may rise or fall this week following the team's private workout with the former Blue Devil, but as of right now, the Duke product will be wearing purple and gold next season.
As for Simmons, the 19-year-old may eventually be bound for Philadelphia, but it would be safe to assume he'll attend a private workout with the Lakers at some point in the coming weeks.
Other notable draft prospects that could receive an invitation for a private workout from the Lakers leading up to draft day include Jaylen Brown, Kris Dunn, Jamal Murray, Buddy Hield, and Dragan Bender.

Dymph de Gooijer
Interview 27.03.20

Boots Dymph's own
There's an endless repertoire of clichés to describe a pretty woman who's just stepped into a hotel lobby, private members club, or, in our case, a little breakfast place in the centre of Amsterdam to be interviewed. But why write about the luminosity of their skin or whether their radiance is impossible to ignore when beauty clearly isn't their thing? "I don't feel that art should be beautiful," Dutch painter Dymph de Gooijer announces, and in the course of our conversation I come to realise that this is her artistic mantra. "It's not important to me right now. People create so many beautiful things but it might not really be what they want, what comes flowing through them."
What came flowing through Dymph when she started getting into painting wasn't necessarily aesthetically pleasing. In fact, the realisation that art didn't have to conform to any beauty standards was an epiphany for her. Visiting an Edvard Munch exhibition in Oslo at 14, she felt elated when she understood that art could be dark, that it did not have to be happy. Her teenage self immediately felt a creative kinship with the godfather of angsty expressionism: "I saw that his work didn't make you feel happy but it made you feel so much." Dymph had just given up dancing due to an injury and was looking for a new form of expressing herself. Her first attempts were rather dark, aggressive paintings with thick brush strokes and big faces, which only later developed into her current, more fluid style. Art, according to her, became the friendship she needed with herself and an escape from a school environment she didn't feel comfortable in. A sympathetic teacher noticed that she couldn't focus in class and turned a storage cupboard into her personal painting area. "A bit like Harry Potter," she laughs. "I spent my last year of high school there, in that storage room."
Dress by Uniqlo, belt Dymph's own
She still isn't very social, describes herself as a lone wolf, even hated Instagram at first, but eventually started seeing the social media platform as a useful tool to put herself out there. Not without reservations: "I'm having a hard time figuring out my Instagram," she admits. In an age of personal branding it's a challenge to just express yourself, which is what Dymph's art is about. Her Instagram, however, shows a mix of images by and images of her. She paints primarily to explore herself, see herself in different ways, is interested in where her work comes from, or "comes out of" as she calls it. From that angle it makes sense to Dymph that images of her, of the physical source of her art, coexist with her paintings. At the same time she doesn't necessarily see herself anymore when she sees a photo of her. "I just see what someone creates with my figure, I don't look at it from a personal perspective."
Top by Cecilie Bahnsen, trousers Zennghi
In keeping with her attitude towards pleasing aesthetics she is not overly concerned about whether she looks beautiful in a picture, which is particularly interesting considering she has even been in fashion shoots. So how does she consolidate her expressionist quest for turning her soul inside out with collaborating with an industry notoriously obsessed with the surface? She tells me about a design project with a clothing brand, which at first didn't seem like something she might enjoy or that would fit her image. "But it felt good, so I thought why not? I created something with the mixed feelings and conflicting ideas I had about it." Her policy now is to disregard hierarchies: "The art world can be exclusive, but it shouldn't be."
Apart from that Dymph just goes to her studio as often as she can. Sometimes she's not in the mood and stares at the wall for hours, even weeks. Sometimes she's extremely productive: "I can work all day, making a lot of pieces, I work very fast, my media are very flowy, creating beautiful shapes without me touching anything." She knows it sounds extreme, but she assures me there are days where she produces 50 or 60 pieces of work. "I'm talking about small pieces of course!" Her art, expressive, fluid shapes, often female forms in shades of sepia, is not created to complement the colour scheme of people's living rooms. But she can see why being appreciated by the general public is so important for artists. "Of course it's also about sales, I understand that, and wanting to make something other people think is beautiful is very human, we all want to be liked." A few weeks ago someone asked her why some of her figures have no hair, but they were quite clearly missing the point. "They are just basic human forms, without all the extra layers," she says, and the stripped back starting point of almost all her work. She reads about philosophy, challenges preconceived ideas of light and dark, ponders the question whether there's anything wrong with darkness and then paints what comes out of her.

And it works. Dymph had her first exhibition at only 16 and has been busy with solo projects, group shows and live painting events ever since. She mentions that people sometimes think that what she did was easy because she was a very young girl when she started and looked like she knew what she wanted. But she didn't experience it like that: "Everything else was actually going really badly, so I just went for painting. First it was more of an outburst, now it's something I truly love. But it's pure coincidence that it worked out."

Real World Use Cases of MongoDB
What is MongoDB
MongoDB is the Non-Relational Database or NoSQL database. It is an open-source document database that provides high availability, high performance and, auto-scaling.
In simple words, we can say it uses a dynamic schema that's why it is known as a schema less database.
MongoDB uses JSON format( JavaScript Object Notation is a format to organized, and easy to access, data for the human) to store data in the database.
MongoDB storing data in document(similar one raw/record in SQL) format instead of storing data in tables of raw and column.
Why MongoDB developer's first choice
If we don't have a predefined schema and want to store data in this case RDBMS is not helpful so MongoDB is so popular for storing schema less data.
MongoDB is the first choice of those developers who want to develop internet and business application and want to evolve quickly and scale in a simple manner.
Who wants to develop scalable applications, Can use MongoDB because it built on a scale-out architecture that has become so popular with developers.
If you have the requirement to support and rapid iterative development of the application, can use MongoDB.
MongoDB advantages
1. Versatility
Being a NoSQL (Non-Structured Query Language) database, one of MongoDB's defining features is its schema-less or non-relational data structure.
This allows for a huge degree of versatility in storing various data types and accessing them on the fly.
Versatility is especially important nowadays with the commoditization of Big Data, which is generated from countless different sources and doesn't
always fall into neat categories. We'll explain what Big Data is and why it matters in the next section.
2. Speed
Related to horizontal scaling is MongoDB's speed. Its workflow for submitting query keys is simpler than in SQL since it doesn't require specifying a
schema — simply index the data point you're looking for and MongoDB will retrieve it.
The lack of a set relational structure means that submitting a query requires far less processing power to search and retrieve than with a relational database.
3. Accessibility
MongoDB supports all major programming languages (Ruby, PHP, Java, etc.), and has numerous community-supported drivers for lesser-known programming languages as well.
It can be hosted by its own cloud service, MongoDB Atlas, and offers both a community-driven open source and a premium Enterprise Edition.
(Our GUI and IDE for MongoDB, Studio 3T, works with any of these deployments.
As you may have guessed, MongoDB's non-relational horizontal scaling allows for a huge degree of operational flexibility.
This makes it a useful platform for experimenting with new, unconventional content models. It also makes it invaluable for those with changing content requirements, such as advertisers
USE CASE OF MONGODB
Aadhar
Aadhar is an excellent example of real world use cases of MongoDB. In recent times, there has been some controversy revolving around CIA's non-profit Venture Capital arm, In-Q-Tel,backing the company, which developed MongoDB. Putting aside the controversy, let's look at the MongoDB's role in Aadhar.
India's Unique Identification project, aka Aadhar, is the world's biggest biometrics database. Aadhar is in the process of capturing demographic and biometric data of over 1.2 billion residents. Aadhar has used MongoDB as one of its databases to store this huge amount of data. MongoDB was among several database products, apart from MySQL, Hadoop and HBase, originally procured for running the database search.
Here, MySQL is used for storing demographic data and MongoDB is used to store images. According to techcrunch.com, MongoDB has nothing to do with the "sensitive" data.

Home Australia and NZ Kogan Creek Coal-Fired Power Station, Queensland, Australia
Kogan Creek Coal-Fired Power Station, Queensland, Australia
A 750MW supercritical-steam coal-fired power station is now online at Kogan Creek, near Chinchilla in Queensland, Australia. The A$1.1bn project started up in 2007, when it was the largest single-block power station in Australia.
The plant was built by an international consortium that included Babcock-Hitachi and was led by Siemens Power Generation (PG). The plant was constructed under an engineer, procure, construct contract. The customer was CS Energy Ltd., Brisbane (in May 2002 the company acquired full ownership of Kogan Creek from Mirant, a subsidiary of the Southern Company).
Kogan Creek delivers its electricity to the National Grid by joining into the Queensland to New South Wales Interconnector at Braemar Creek substation. The plant operates as a base load station, generating electricity continuously.
An air cooling system with air-cooled condenser uses up to 90% less water than conventional power plants. This removes the risk of reduced output during times of drought, as at power stations using fresh water for cooling.
COAL FROM NEARBY DEPOSITS
"An air cooling system with air-cooled condenser uses up to 90% less water than conventional power plants."
The plant uses 2.8 million t/yr of coal from the nearby 300 million t Kogan Creek coal deposit, which is also owned by CS Energy. The coal is delivered to the power station on a 4km conveyor belt. The ready supply of such local low cost, good quality coal makes Kogan Creek Power Station one of the lowest cost producers in the National Electricity Market.
During the construction phase, employment at the site peaked at more than 1,000 jobs. Now, there are about 70 full-time employees, with the coal mine employing a further 60 people.
SIEMENS-LED CONSORTIUM
Kogan Creek was regarded as a landmark project for Queensland.
Siemens PG was responsible for the planning, construction, installation and commissioning of the new plant. It also supplied the steam turbine and the generator equipment, the mechanical and electrical equipment, including the coal feed and ash removal systems, the entire instrumentation and control system, the transformers and switch gear units, and various auxiliary and supporting systems.
Babcock-Hitachi was responsible for the steam generator, which was manufactured under a Siemens licensing agreement. The plant was Siemens' first project based almost exclusively on its Varioplant 700 technology.
VARIOPLANT 700 OPTIMISES LIFE-CYCLE COSTS
The Varioplant 700 is a basic design with optimised life-cycle costs for a hard-coal fired, dual-unit plant capable of base-load and intermediate-load duties.
The heart of the plant is the 'turbine island', which customarily comprises the turbine building and its installed components, such as the turbine-generator, the feedwater heating line and the necessary electrical components. The turbine island is structurally independent of the other main buildings. Project-specific equipment modules can be individually selected based on actual on-site conditions and customer requirements. Examples include various component and redundancy concepts for pumps and feedwater heaters.
The turbine building uses a flexible "heater bay" design. The turbine island can be expanded into a complete turnkey plant by adding boilers, fuel supply and ash handling systems, cooling water systems and water treatment and flue-gas cleaning systems.
"The plant was Siemens' first project based almost exclusively on its Varioplant 700 technology."
INCREASING STATE DEMAND
Demand for electricity in Queensland is growing faster than in any other state. The Kogan project was under consideration for some time but was deferred until it became clear that additional generation capacity was needed. The project was specifically recognised in the Queensland Government's Clean Energy Policy, released in mid 2000.
Importantly, in such a thirsty country as Australia, the station uses 90% less water than a conventional power station. Deep bores ensure that the reduced water requirements place no pressure on the fragile Condamine River system. Three groundwater bores and associated pipelines supply approximately 1,500ML/yr of water to the power station and coal mine.
At least 40% of the value of the project was carried out by Australian contractors. Return of power station ash to the coal mine is combined with open cut overburden as part of a comprehensive and ongoing site rehabilitation programme.
GOVERNMENT OWNED CORPORATION
CS Energy is a Queensland government owned corporation, which owns and operates Swanbank Power Station near Ipswich, southeast Queensland, Callide Power Station near Biloela, central Queensland, and Mica Creek Power Station in Mount Isa.
The organisation generates around 3,000MW of electricity using a mix of fuels, including coal seam methane and landfill gas. CS Energy supplies the National Electricity Market from its operations at Swanbank near Ipswich and Callide near Biloela. Its Mica Creek operation at Mount Isa is the major electricity supplier for the mining and minerals processing business in the north west, as well as the communities of Mount Isa and Cloncurry.

Maringka Baker (Kaliumpil, c. 1952) es una artista aborigen del centro de Australia cuyos trabajos se encuentras en la Galería Nacional de Australia, la Universidad Nacional de Australia y la Galería Nacional de Victoria entre otros espacios.

Biografía
Vive en la comunidad Pitjantjatjara de Kaṉpi, Australia del Sur, y pinta para Tjungu Palya, con sede en la cercana Nyapaṟi. Maringka pinta historias sagradas del Dreaming (espiritualidad) de su familia. Además de los importantes significados culturales que tienen, sus pinturas son conocidas por ser ricas en colores y contrastes. A menudo pinta el paisaje desértico en colores verdes brillantes, y lo contrasta con rojos y ocres para representar accidentes geográficos. También usa capas de colores contrastantes para mostrar el detalle del desierto en plena floración.

Maringka nació en el interior de Australia Occidental alrededor de 1952. Nació en Kaliumpil, un antiguo sitio ceremonial y de acampada en las tierras de Ngaanyatjarra. Su madre y su padre murieron cuando ella era una niña, y Maringka fue criada por Anmanari Brown y otros parientes. Fue a la escuela primaria en la misión de Warburton, pero se escapó para reunirse con familiares en Ernabella. Más tarde se mudó a Kaltjiti, donde terminó la escuela secundaria y consiguió un trabajo como maestra. A fines de la década de 1960, Maringka se casó con un hombre de Papulankutja. Tuvieron una hija, Elaine, en 1969. El esposo de Maringka murió cuando Elaine aún era un bebé. Maringka se convirtió en trabajadora de la salud y se mudó con su hija a Irrunytju para trabajar en la clínica local. En la década de 1980, Maringka se casó con Douglas Baker (sobrino de Jimmy Baker) y se mudaron al este para vivir en Kaṉpi.

Maringka comenzó a pintar en 2004. Pinta para Tjungu Palya, un centro de arte comunitario con sede en las cercanías de Nyapaṟi. Se ha convertido en una de las pintoras más conocidas del centro.  Desde 2005, el trabajo de Maringka se ha exhibido en muchas ciudades de Australia, incluidas Adelaide, Alice Springs, Broome, Canberra, Melbourne, Perth y Sídney. En el extranjero, su trabajo se ha mostrado en exposiciones en Singapur, Seattle y Londres. Su trabajo se encuentra en la Galería Nacional de Australia, la Galería de Arte de Australia Meridional, la Universidad Nacional de Australia y la Galería Nacional de Victoria.

En 2007, Maringka fue una de los treinta artistas presentados en la primera exposición Trienal Nacional de Arte Indígena, Guerreros de la Cultura, en la Galería Nacional de Australia en Canberra. Mostraba cuatro de sus pinturas: Anmangunga (2006), Kata Ala (2006), Ngura Mankurpa (2006) y Kuru Ala (2007). El último de estos, Kuru Ala, es una representación de un sitio sagrado para mujeres cerca de Tjuntjuntjara que está asociado con la historia de la creación de las Siete Hermanas (llamada Kungkarrakalpa en Pitjantjatjara). Fue elegida finalista del Premio Nacional de Arte Aborigen e Isleño del Estrecho de Torres en 2009, y se exhibe en la Galería Nacional de Canberra.

Hi Alain!! I know you use software for music notation first. What is your approach to get mockups fast? I am starting to mockup and I think it s not good playing every line on the keyboard and setting the articulation changes by hand. I wouldnt be possible to get to that deadlines you are talking here!!
Can you make a post about it? Thank you!!
Sure Jonathan, I can tell you how I approached it in a future post.
I wouldn't be able to do a movie without that kind of organization. It's such a big puzzle to put together and it can be a daunting tasks to write so much music in so little time. The time you spend on doing good spotting notes and planning it all out is time well invested. It is crucial to work effectively and getting it done quickly.
I also organize the cues by theme, character, situation, style or orchestration, source etc. according to the project and when you break it down like that, you see a clear path and it practically writes itself pretty much!


The video is from 2010. Jimmy McMillan is fighting for the rights of blue collar people in New York City who can barely afford the insanely high rent in the city.
I watched a documentary from 2017 that covered the gentrification of the New York City boroughs of Harlem and Brooklyn. In a part of Brooklyn the mean annual income is $45,000, the average rent in the same area is $33,000. 70 percent of income has to be used towards rent. Not a good scenario. Somebody is making fistfuls of money by creating hardship for the vast majority.
Zimbabwe has gone from one economic crisis to another over the last decade. Estimates of the country's unemployment levels vary, but the country's biggest trade union claims the jobless rate was as high as 90% earlier this year.
Zimbabwe has struggled with hyperinflation, which peaked in 2008. The country was forced to abandon its own currency at a rate of Z$35 quadrillion to US$1, adopting the use of foreign cash.
Because of a continuing chronic shortage of hard money, the government issued their own version of dollars called bond notes, but they have rapidly lost their value.
People with money stored electronically in banks are unable to access it, or are subject to strict limits on what they can withdraw. Because of this, crypto-currencies that are traded online have risen in popularity. Following the news of the military takeover, Bitcoin prices in Harare surged on Wednesday.
On 2 February 2009, the RBZ removed 12 zeros from the currency, with 1,000,000,000,000 (third) Zimbabwe dollars being exchanged for 1 new (fourth) dollar. Although the dollar was abandoned on 12 April 2009, exchange rates were maintained at intervals for some months. Therefore, the fourth dollar would be worth 200,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, or 2×1035 first dollars if never revalued.
On 4 June 2015, it was announced that the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe would exchange some of the old banknotes for US dollars.
Coca-Cola is a world corporate behemoth with an unrelenting marketing campaign. Coca-Cola is sold in stores, restaurants, and vending machines in every country except Cuba and North Korea. Based on Interbrand's best global brand 2016, Coca-Cola was the world's most valuable brand. Being the world's most valuable brand makes Coke recognizable everywhere. Pervasive merchandising also keeps the brand in the unconscious of the masses. And toys are a major part of this merchandising.
The super-billionaires of the world have to spend their gobs of money somehow. From giant homes to private jets they have the resources to indulge. The billionaires that like the sea buy the biggest private yachts ever imagined. They cost tens of millions of dollars, often more expensive than their homes. The costs continue with the upkeep, crews, equipment and helicopters that go with them. The super yachts are over 400 feet (130 meters) long . Most of them are owned by Russian oligarchs, Arab sheiks, Greek shipping magnets and American billionaires.
Tiger Woods has a yacht called Privacy. But it is minor league in comparison to what the super-billionaires sail.
The first picture is Tiger's yacht. The last two pictures is Bill Allen's (co-founder of Microsoft) behemoth named Octopus. It is 414 feet long. The size of many modern navy frigates.
James Bond villains, take heed: Here's a way to one-up all those other yacht owners in the bad-guys club — the Migaloo Private Submersible Yacht. This luxury design concept for a 377-foot submarine was created by design firm Motion Code: Blue, and could become a reality if some well-heeled buyer steps up.
Of course this vessel features all the usual super-luxury features that are so important for taking over the world on your yacht, such as a helipad for quick escapes, a two-story owner's suite with a private patio on the bow, eight VIP suites for all your henchmen, and plenty of room for those white cats you love to pet as you concoct your diabolical schemes.
And for all those lovely ladies that constantly surround you — because they like you, they really do — there's a huge beach club midship, complete with a pool, bar and plenty of deck space for them to bask in the sun.
But that's just the beginning. This is a frickin' submarine, folks. As you can see in the pictures above, all of those outdoorsy party locations get covered up for 787-foot-deep dive, taking you into an underwater world for lots of spectacular sightseeing.
And let's not forget, there's plenty of privacy deep below the ocean waves, giving you freedom to transport whatever contraband your heart desires. After all, how did an evildoer like you get the billions necessary for such a luxo-sport sub, anyway?
The boat's designers at Motion Code: Blue say this is not a completely impractical design, claiming it's based on current submarines that currently cruise the world — in fact, its dimensions are identical to the U.S. Navy's latest Virginia-class attack submarines. Even better for yachtsmen and women, all that room usually reserved for nuclear missiles and such is dedicated to pure pleasure and decadence.
This is certainly not a real product yet, but we were wondering how much such a vessel would cost. While we wait for the designers to give us some sort of price estimate, let's compare it to that 377-foot Virginia-class attack sub. According to Military.com, it costs $2.3 billion to build one of those, and it can dive about the same depth as is claimed for this luxury underwater yacht fantasy.
Whoa, that's a lot of money for a toy. But what's $2.3 billion to a villain hell-bent on taking over the world?
It's not clear whether this design concept would be nuclear-powered, a feature that would let it cruise underwater indefinitely. Nor is it clear whether any government would permit a private citizen to own a nuclear-powered attack submarine, albeit dressed in sheep's clothing, so to speak.
Assuming the vessel will be diesel powered and won't have all the high-tech weapons systems of military subs, the cost would likely be somewhere between 400-800 million dollars.

Action And Clinical Pharmacology: The active ingredient of Entocort capsules, budesonide, is a potent nonhalogenated synthetic glucocorticosteroid with high topical potency and weak systemic effects.
The exact mechanism of action of glucocorticosteroids in the treatment of Crohn's disease is not fully understood. Anti-inflammatory actions, such as the inhibition of inflammatory mediator release and inhibition of immunological cellular responses, are probably important.
Data from clinical pharmacology studies and controlled clinical trials indicate that Entocort capsules, at least partly, act topically. Budesonide undergoes an extensive degree (approximately 90%) of biotransformation in the liver to metabolites with low glucocorticosteroid activity. The glucocorticosteroid activity of the major metabolites, 6b-hydroxybudesonide and 16a-hydroxyprednisolone, is less than 1% of that of budesonide.
The favorable separation between topical anti-inflammatory and systemic effect is due to strong glucocorticosteroid receptor affinity and an effective first pass metabolism by the liver with a short half-life. A glucocorticosteroid with such a profile is of particular importance for the local treatment of inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn's disease. With regard to treatment of this disease with glucocorticosteroids, it is essential to achieve a high local anti-inflammatory activity in the bowel wall with systemic side effects, e.g., on the hypothalamic pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis function, as low as possible.
Indications And Clinical Uses: For the induction and maintenance of remission in patients with mild to moderate Crohn's disease affecting the ileum and/or ascending colon.
Contra-Indications: Systemic or local bacterial, fungal or viral infections. Known hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients. Active tuberculosis.
Manufacturers' Warnings In Clinical States: Glucocorticosteroids can reduce the response of the HPA-axis to stress. In situations where patients are subject to surgery or other stress situations, supplementation with a conventional glucocorticosteroid is recommended.
Special care is demanded in treatment of patients transferred from conventional systemic steroids to budesonide capsules, as disturbances in the HPA-axis could be expected in these patients.
Precautions: Glucocorticosteroids may mask some signs of infections and new infections may appear. A decreased resistance to localized infection has been observed during glucocorticosteroid therapy. Viral infections such as chickenpox and measles can have a more serious or fatal course in patients on immunosuppressant glucocorticosteroids. In adults who have not had these diseases, particular care should be taken to avoid exposure. If exposed to chickenpox or measles, therapy with varicella zoster immune globulin (VZIG) or pooled i.v. immunoglobulin (IVIG), as appropriate, may be indicated. If chickenpox develops, treatment with antiviral agents may be considered.
Although treatment with budesonide capsules causes significantly less lowering of plasma cortisol compared to conventional glucocorticosteroids, the knowledge with regard to treatment during the following conditions is limited and therefore cautioned: active peptic ulcer, osteoporosis, acute glomerulonephritis, myasthenia gravis, exanthematous diseases, diverticulitis, thrombophlebitis, psychic disturbances, diabetes, hypertension, hyperthyroidism, acute coronary disease, limited cardiac reserve and pregnancy. In such cases the benefits of an oral glucocorticosteroid must be weighed against the risks.
With the recommended therapeutic doses of budesonide, the risk/benefit ratio seems to be low for the long-term systemic effects. However, as with any other glucocorticosteroid, patients should be carefully followed up for systemic adverse effects. During long-term therapy, adrenal function and hematological status should be periodically assessed.
Particular care is needed in patients who are transferred from systemic glucocorticosteroid treatment with higher systemic effect to budesonide capsules. These patients may have adrenal cortical suppression. Therefore, monitoring of adrenocortical function may be considered in these patients. Some patients feel unwell in a nonspecific way during the withdrawal phase, e.g., pain in muscles and joints. A general insufficient glucocorticosteroid effect should be suspected if, in rare cases, symptoms such as tiredness, headache, nausea and vomiting should occur. In these cases a temporary increase in the dose of systemic glucocorticosteroids is sometimes necessary.
Glucocorticosteroids should be used with caution in patients if there is a probability of bowel perforation as well as the probability of obstruction, abscess or other pyogenic infection and fresh intestinal anastomoses.
Aggravation of diabetes mellitus or stimulation of manifestations of latent diabetes mellitus may be caused by glucocorticosteroid therapy.
There may be an enhanced systemic effect of budesonide in patients with liver cirrhosis since the metabolism of budesonide may be impaired and, as with other glucocorticosteroids, there may be enhanced effects in those with hypothyroidism. Reduced liver function may affect the elimination of corticosteroids. The i.v. pharmacokinetics of budesonide are, however, similar in cirrhotic patients and in healthy subjects. The pharmacokinetics after oral ingestion of budesonide were affected by compromised liver function as evidenced by increased systemic availability.
ASA should be used cautiously in conjunction with glucocorticosteroids in hypoprothrombinemia.
Glucocorticosteroids should be used with caution in patients with cataracts, and may cause elevation of intraocular pressure in glaucoma patients.
Pregnancy: Administration of budesonide during pregnancy should be avoided unless there are compelling reasons. In experimental animal studies, budesonide was found to cross the placental barrier. Like other glucocorticosteroids, budesonide is teratogenic to rodent species. High doses of budesonide administered s.c. produced fetal malformations, primarily skeletal defects, in rabbits, rats, and in mice. The relevance of these findings to humans has not yet been established. In the absence of further studies in humans, budesonide should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefits clearly outweigh the risk to the fetus. Infants born of mothers who have received substantial doses of glucocorticosteroids during pregnancy should be carefully observed for hypoadrenalism.
Children: The safety and effectiveness of budesonide in children have not been established, therefore use in this age group is not recommended.
Adverse Reactions: In clinical trials, most adverse events experienced by patients or healthy volunteers receiving budesonide capsules were of mild to moderate intensity and were classified as nonserious. A total of 530 patients with Crohn's disease were treated with budesonide capsules for induction and maintenance of remission, in controlled clinical trials.
Adverse events reported in patients during induction of remission (n=399) with budesonide capsules included dyspepsia (9%), muscle cramps (4%), palpitations (2%), blurred vision (3%), skin reactions including rash and urticaria (6%), and menstrual disorders (2%).
A similar adverse event profile was reported in patients during maintenance treatment (n=131) with budesonide capsules. The incidence of adverse events was the same or less than observed during treatment for induction of remission.
Side effects typical of systemic glucocorticosteroid (such as Cushingoid features) may occur. The systemic effects of budesonide on the HPA-axis were found to be dose- dependent.
Symptoms And Treatment Of Overdose: Symptoms and Treatment: Acute overdosage with budesonide capsules, even in excessive doses, is not expected to be a clinical problem.
Habitual overdosing may cause hypercorticism and HPA-suppression. Decreasing the dose or stopping the therapy, with the accepted procedures for discontinuing prolonged oral therapy with systemic steroids, will abolish these effects, although the restitution of the HPA-axis may be a slow process and during periods with pronounced physical stress (severe infections, trauma, surgical operations, etc.) it may be advisable to supplement with conventional systemic steroids.
Dosage And Administration: Active Disease: The recommended daily dose for induction of remission is 9 mg, administered once daily in the morning, for up to 8 weeks. The dose should be taken before meals.
Maintenance of Remission: The recommended daily starting dose for the maintenance of remission is 6 mg, administered once daily in the morning before breakfast. The maintenance dose should be kept as low as necessary for control of disease symptoms.
During prolonged treatment, dosing may have to be adjusted depending on the disease activity.
Treatment with budesonide capsules should be tapered before cessation. It is recommended that the dose be reduced for the last 2 to 4 weeks of therapy. The rate of tapering should be patient-specific and the patient should be monitored by the treating physician during this period.
The capsules should be swallowed whole with water, and not chewed, broken or crushed before being swallowed.
Availability And Storage: Each controlled ileal release, 2-piece hard gelatin capsule, with an opaque light grey body and an opaque pink cap printed CIR 3 mg in radial black ink, contains: micronized budesonide 3 mg. Nonmedicinal ingredients: acetyltributyl citrate, dimethicone, ethylcellulose, gelatin, iron oxide, methacrylic acid copolymer, polysorbate 80, sodium lauryl sulfate, sucrose, talc, titanium dioxide and triethylcitrate. High density polyethylene bottles of 100 with a polypropylene screw cap.
There is a desiccant pellet in the cap. The capsules should be dispensed and stored in the original container. The patient should be advised to keep the bottle tightly capped. Store at controlled room temperature (15 to 30°C).

Q: Javascript: Sharing a function between files fileA.js
function addEvent(param1, param2) => {
  // do something
})

model.exports = function aFunctionThatUsesAddEvent(param1, param2) {
      addEvent(param1, param2) // This works fine.
})

fileB.js
const FileA = require(__dirname + '/..fileA');

function letsAddEvent(param1, param2) {
     FileA.addEvent(param1, param2) {
       // I get an error: FileA.addEvent is not a function
     })
})

I have tried to use
model.exports = function addEvent(param1, param2) => {})

But then aFunctionThatUsesAddEvent can't call addEvent(param1, param2)
How do I declare a function that can be used locally and also used by another file?

A: fileA.js
function addEvent(param1, param2) => {
  // do something
})

function aFunctionThatUsesAddEvent(param1, param2) {
  addEvent(param1, param2)
})

module.exports.aFunctionThatUsesAddEvent = aFunctionThatUsesAddEvent

FileB.js
const FileA = require(__dirname + './fileA'); // Not sure where are you importing the file form

function letsAddEvent(param1, param2) {
   FileA.aFunctionThatUsesAddEvent(param1, param2) {
     // your code
  })
})

A: You are exporting function aFunctionThatUsesAddEvent from fileA.js.
So, when you call const FileA = require(__dirname + '/..fileA'); in fileB.js, FileA becomes function aFunctionThatUsesAddEvent and FileA doesn't have any addEvent.
There are multiple solutions to this problem.
Simplest One:
fileA.js
function addEvent(param1, param2) => {
  // do something
})

function aFunctionThatUsesAddEvent(param1, param2) {
    addEvent(param1, param2)
})

module.exports = {
   addEvent: addEvent,
   aFunctionThatUsesAddEvent: aFunctionThatUsesAddEvent
}

fileB.js
const FileA = require(__dirname + '../fileA');
FileA.addEvent(); // it should work
FileA.aFunctionThatUsesAddEvent() // it should work

Hence at iteration or finishing of all arrangements till end list will be like 4,6,2,9. What bubble sort has done is put biggest number at the end. Now we do all this all over again and hence in total 4 times arrange 4 numbers to completely sort the list to 2,4,6,9.
Best Case scenario : O(n) For this to happen we have to measure how many arrangements happened. If 0 then numbers are already sorted.
For large numbers it is kind of unsuitable sorting algorithm.


You can silence the errors by editing line 76 of the plugin… Whether that actually fixes anything or not remains to be seen, but it at least shuts the errors up.
Thanks Bloke this does shut the errors up and fixes everything else. I suggest you adopt this change for the next release.
Probably I misunderstood what you meant for "top-level tabs".
Ah yes, my silly naming convention. If anybody can think of a better name (primary/secondary maybe?) I'll revisit the docs and make it clearer. Sorry about the misunderstanding.
In other words the sorting works ok only among newly created tabs. Not a big issue anyway.
Yes, if you imagine Remora, your "top level" tabs (actually "Areas" in TXP-speak) will appear in alphabetical order to the right of the Extensions tab. I couldn't figure out a neat way to allow sorting by Area but I may in future add another sort order field below the area to allow you to do that.
… I suggest you adopt this change for the next release.
I'll just wait a tiny bit longer to see if there's any more fallout / bugs from other people or if importing that global causes any havoc elsewhere. I don't think it'll hurt anything, but I'll do some testing to make sure first.
Actually no, after some testing I'll issue the fixed version now. v0.11 fixes the $pretext warnings when using article tags. The docs have also been rejigged slightly to improve clarity.
I like the new sort feature. Very nice.
Thanks for putting up me and making my dream of blurring the lines between the front end and the back end a reality. It is most appreciated.
To help spark ideas – if that's really necessary ;) — here's one of my personal use cases: I'm still in early stages, but I'm using it with smd_sql_query and mem_ form suite (simple form, public article, etc) to develop tabs that offer custom data interfaces, in particular with custom fields.
I've also got a smd_macro/smd_tabber version of lum_usermenu's that I'm polishing up (in between meetings) and will share shortly in case anyone has a use for it.
Would like to know how you're approaching this, code wise. Sounds like what I'm after. Any tips / snippets would be very much appreciated.
A problem I find from a clients point of view, is effective frontpage management. Some of the sites I build have several static content blocks on the frontpage. Up till now, I've just been creating a section called frontpage and using a combination of glz_custom_fields and bot_wtc to create a simple, intuitive write panel. Works pretty well, but I'd prefer a separate tab that allows the clients to modify the page content in. Any tips on how I can do this with your plug-in?
Hello Mike, any updates on your attempt at creating custom data interfaces? I wonder if Stef has any views on such an endeavour?
Hey – sorry for not getting back sooner, and for not having more details at this point. I'm away working on a project this week. When I get back I'll try to share more of where I'm at in the process. Basic approach: mem_simple_form or smd_sql_query are the most likely approaches from a power standpoint. They let you update the database, so you can have text input fields and not just output. But they require some php and mysql and I'm still working that out.
mem_public_article is simple – you can pull out any fields you want very easily and update them, but it's limited to the write tab fields (as far as I can tell), and you have to know exactly which article you want to edit. I'm still working to fine tune the way to do that — whether there's a slick tag within a tag way, or to use some sort of variable passed as an article id.
I'm pretty sure there are couple of folks out there who have done similar things on the front side, so they, or Stef might be able to help in the meantime.
Thanks for the reply Mike! Unfortunately I'm a front end designer so this sort of thing is way beyond my skill set. Good to know folks like yourself are pushing the boundaries.
I start to play with this very usefull plugin ! Awesome ! An other big "thanks" !
One question : How (where) rename the "tab_start" first tab ?
Update your language file in Prefs->Languages. And if it doesn't change after that then the string isn't defined in your language and you should contact your translator (which may be yourself! :-) and have the string added to the RPC server.


5th Element is a cross of Blackberry and All Spark OG. Exhibiting some of the most desirable traits of any marijuana strain currently available, 5th Element is a real favourite among the guys who created the strain.
When grown out in a legal climate, Elemental Seeds' test growers have reported that 5th Element plants are hungry, yet very high yielding. After the average 55-60 day flowering period, breeders are rewarded with harvests of large, dank buds. Flavours are heavily towards the OG side of the genetics - a real assault on the senses. 5th Element stimulates body and mind simultaneously, but cerebral effects are manageable when compared to other strains from Elemental Seeds.


Consuming sodium fluoride, a toxic chemical commonly added to US water supplies to allegedly help prevent tooth decay, definitively causes neurodegenerative damage in the brain, spinal cord, and sciatic nerve. These are the findings of a recent study published in the Journal of Medical and Allied Sciences, and ones that, by all scientific standards, put to rest the failed myth that fluoride consumption is in any way safe.
Conducted by K. Pratap Reddy of Osmania University in India, the study confirms that fluoride chemicals "cross the blood-brain barrier and alter the structure and function of neural tissue." Repeated exposure to fluoride chemicals in test rats was found to lower body weights; reduce the organic somatic index of their brains; and contaminate their hippocampus, neocortex, cerebellum, spinal cord, and sciatic nerve tissues with persistent fluoride chemicals.
The blood-brain barrier is the body's natural way of protecting the brain and central nervous system from damage by harmful toxins. In other words, it is meant to allow only nutrients and other beneficial metabolic products access to the brain, while filtering out all other materials.
But fluoride chemicals possess uniquely harmful characteristics that allow them to bypass this protective barrier and lodge themselves within brain tissue. The end result is a cascade of neurodegeneration throughout the brain and central nervous system, which in turn can lead to a host of severe and potentially deadly conditions, some of which are irreversible.
In simple terms, these changes signify severe neurological damage that can manifest itself in a variety of different ways. Lowered IQ, reduced cognitive function, learning disabilities, and hyperactivity are some of the forms of brain damage caused by fluoride consumption.
"Who in their right mind would risk lowering their child's intelligence in order to reduce a small amount of tooth decay, for which the evidence is very weak?" asked Tara Blank, PhD, the Fluoride Action Network's (FAN) Science and Health Officer, after the release of a Chinese fluoride study earlier this year that found similar results.


While the Gemara uses the term tereifa to denote any animal with a terminal condition that cannot be slaughtered as kosher since it will die within a short amount of time, the single case of tereifa that is mentioned in the Torah is when an animal attacks another animal and kills it (see Shemot 22:30). This most basic case occurs when the predator locks its claws on the body of the animal that is being attacked, and the poison in its claws enters the animal, threatening its life, According to the continuation of the Gemara, this poison "burns" in the body of the animal, injuring and puncturing its internal organs, which renders it a tereifa.
The example of a tereifa that appears in the Mishna is a wolf, and Rav Yehuda quotes Rav as teaching that in the case of cattle it is "from the wolf and upwards," i.e. either a wolf or animals larger than a wolf like a lion. Ultimately the Gemara suggests that this teaching comes to exclude the case of a cat that attacks in a predatory manner. While one might have thought that the Mishna simply mentions ordinary cases of attacking animals, but that smaller animals would be included as well, Rav Yehuda teaches that in the case of cattle an attack by a cat would not be considered significant to render the animal a tereifa.
A wolf, canis lupus, is a predatory animal, similar to a dog. It grows to a length of between 3 and 5 feet and an adult can weigh up to 130 pounds. Wolves live and hunt in packs, which allow them to hunt not only small animals, but larger animals, as well. An attack by a pack of wolves can cause serious damage to a herd of cattle.
A cat, felis, is a relatively small predator that weighs between 7 and 15 pounds. We are most familiar with the common house cat – F. silvestris catus – but there are numerous types of wild cats, as well. From the Talmud it appears that there were ferocious wild cats that lived in close proximity to human habitation during the time of the Sages. These cats attacked animals much larger than themselves, such as sheep and goats, and there is even reference to a case when a child's hand was bitten off by such a creature.

Soultouane Benjadid (; born 24 April 1987), better known as Sultan (earlier Sultan du Holster), is a French hip hop artist and rapper originating from the Comoros. Prior to becoming a solo artist, he was part of the hip hop duo Holster with Ibrahim (I.B.R.).

Career
Soultouane Benjadid was born in Fontenay-aux-Roses, (Hauts-de-Seine), France and resided in quartier Tertres-Cuverons in Bagneux, Hauts-de-Seine, where he started rapping at a very young age. In 1997, just 10, he presented his first lyrics to his brother H de l'île who was already a member of the hip hop collective Bagneux Instance Glauque (also including Diam's, Explicit Samouraï of Saïan Supa Crew and others).

In 2004, age 17, he released his demo and started cooperating with artists like Ks de l'île, 5ème Grif, La Sente, Le Système Auditif. With Ibrahim (I.B.R.), he formed a hip hop duo Holster taking the name Sultan du Holster. He found success with his release "92", a remake of Rohff hit "94". 92 refers to the different neighborhoods where he was living. He followed that in 2006 with his street album Mode crime with sales of 1500 copies sold. The track "Tah" gained great fame making him a noted artist in French rap. He also contributed the track "Mon peura arrache tout" and "Quoi qu'il arrive" that appeared in the compilation Talents fâchés 4 by Ikbal Vockal. Other tracks appeared on compilations like Ghetto truand and Rap Impact. He also contributed to rap mixtape project Frontline in 2007. He posted online "Trahison" in answer to Diam's featuring Vitaa release "Confessions nocturnes".

His official street album of 17 tracks called La Sul'tendance with the track "Quoi qu'il arrive" becoming the first single from the album in October 2009. The release was on Impact Records, an independent label he established with DJ Skorp and Mike.

This was followed in October 2010 by another street album Tah You Ken!. Further tracks appeared on 2011 compilation Capitale du crime 3 (a La Fouine project) and in Booska Tape Vol. 1. He signed a contract with S-Kal Records in July 2011.

In 2012, he released his album Des jours meilleurs (originally named Le Cercle des incompris). The track "4 étoiles" featuring Rohff has become a great success for him. "4 étoiles" refers to the four stars on the flag of the Comoros. Rohff, like Sultan, is from the Comoros. The music video released on 22 June 2012 was filmed in Brazil. The single reached No. 45 in France. The album Des jours meilleurs released on 5 November 2012 has reached No. 15 in the French Albums Chart in its first week of release.

Foreign sales up in Spain
Easy Sitges 7th November 2016 News 0 Comment
The housing purchases by foreign citizens account for 20% of the Spanish market, according to data published by notaries in the first half of 2016. Between January and June totaled 43,519 operations a 161.2% increase over the minimum figures recorded in the second half of 2008, when he reached the 16,658 transactions. This data redials maximum of the historical series on foreigners.
Foreign citizens continue to gain in the market for home sales in Spain. During the first half of 2016 they reached 20.3% of total transactions in the market, with 43,519 transactions. This figure also represents the highest number recorded by the General Council of Notaries in half since 2007 and up 161.2% higher than the lows recorded in the second half of 2008 operations, when foreign citizens just made 16,658 purchases.
British, French and Germans are hogging sales
British buyers (19%), France (8%) and Germany (7.8%) remain foreigners with more weight on total operations during the first half of the year. Over the same period of 2015, free housing purchases by foreigners rose 19.7% yoy.
By region, the purchases by foreigners rose by double digits, except Ceuta and Melilla (-20%) and La Rioja (-4.7%). The most significant increases occurred in Cantabria (71%), Extremadura (50.8%) and Navarra (41.1%). On the other hand, smaller increases compared to January-June 2015 occurred in Andalusia (14.3%), Valencia (16.6%) and Madrid (19.1%).
As the weight of home purchases by foreigners in the total real estate transactions by region, in the Canary Islands account for 44.2% of the total; in Illes Balears, 41.5%, Valencia (37.2%), Murcia (27.7%) and Andalucía (21.4%). By contrast, communities where operations by foreigners had lower weight were in Extremadura (3.1%), Galicia (3.7%), Basque Country (4.4%), Castila and Leon (4, 5%) and Asturias (4.7%).

Dumb Ways to Die 2: The Games Review
A Great Sequel with a unique concept: As they try to avoid the touch of the reaper, the goal of Dumb Ways to Die 2 is akin to the original: collect characters and place them in the train station.
Not an Easy Game
While the app is whimsical and fun to play, it is by no means an easy game. You have to avoid the inevitable: death. Your characters are limitless in their mistakes and critical errors are made. You will find yourself shouting at your mobile device, hoping to command your character through a verbal tirade. It doesn't work.
Funny and Entertaining
The game is not so serious, but rather very funny and entertaining. It's a good time killer as well. You can easily play it on break from work or class, while riding the bus or train. The humor of the game might even make you laugh and infuse a little humor before a busy, trying day.
The Graphics and Feel
Dumb Ways to Die 2 has very simple graphics, but such a game does not need involved, vivid graphics. The characters are well drawn with humorous attributes. The animation seems like a cut out world, but it doesn't really affect the feel of the game. It is still a fun and easy play.
The game comes highly recommended for a whimsical, nonsensical play. Enjoy controlling your character's fate and avoid making them in a dumb way.
