BRITPOP SPECTACULAR - British Bangers Vol. 1 1:15:46
Back in the mid-90's there was a lot of hype around a "second British invasion" -- but outside of Oasis, Blur, and Radiohead, and a few decently sized blips on the Modern Rock radar, it never really materialized in the States. So while the folks in the U.K. were losing their minds over Pulp, Elastica, Supergrass, the Manic Street Preachers, James, …
NOVEMBER '88 - Top 10 Countdown 1:23:34
Aruba, Jamaica, ooh, we want to take you back to November 1988 (we'll get there fast but then we'll take it slow, I promise).

BARENAKED LADIES - Stunt 1:22:26

From "One Week" to "It's All Been Done" to a Sleepy Sex Mix masterpiece, the boys dig into this Juno Award winning mega-s…
INXS - Kick 1:32:56
In 1987 INXS ruled the world. Led by a Mount Babemore frontman and a trio of brothers who, at the time, had all of their fingers, Australia's favorite sons dominated the late 80's with a cavalcade of catchy singles off their album Kick. So many hit singles. So much amazing sax. So many conversations about Michael Hutchence's hotness. And, for the f…
FOO FIGHTERS - Foo Fighters 1:17:19
Twenty-five years ago this summer, the ponytailed drummer from Nirvana bet on himself and released a solo album under the moniker "Foo Fighters". I think that gamble paid off.

GREEN DAY - American Idiot 1:25:42

Twenty-four years ago Bob and Dan were high school sophomores, bands like Oasis, Soundgarden, and Goldfinger were climbing the charts, and human beings were group-hugging and triple-kissing like there was no tomorrow.

THE STROKES - First Impressions Of Earth 1:10:28

Pump Up The Jam? Why yes, we will. This week we're transforming the rented garage into a rented Middle School Auditorium circa 1992.

PEARL JAM - Vs. 1:32:22
The guys are back in the sterilized garage (a safe distance apart, of course) to tackle Pearl Jam's smash sophomore album, Vs. Let's go back to 1993, when Dan and Bob were social distancing by accident and Meatloaf was responsible for 7-minute erections.

Episode 100! Here we are! Thanks to all the Patreonies and people out there for making this happen!

OASIS - Definitely Maybe 1:28:18
It's 2020, Bob is 40, and we're feeling supersonic -- let's kick off the decade with some cigarettes and alcohol. Definitely Maybe is a definitive LP of the 90's and a Britpop classic. It's also Bob's favorite Oasis album, so devoting an episode to it is the least we can do for the old man. Liam and Noel: welcome to the 3-timers club.…
THE 2010's - Best Of [Double EP] 2:17:57
In this very special double-episode of the Throwback Podcast, Bob and Dan say goodbye to the 2010's the only way they know how: by picking 20 of their favorite songs from the decade and discussing the most random sh*t imaginable while a terrible Mike Myers movie plays in the background.

Q: Variable without name: ${''} So variable variables are existing. Meaning that this is working
$a = 'test';
$$a = 'Hello';
echo ${'test'}; //outputs 'Hello'

But now I've come across some rather strange code using a variable without a name:
function test(&$numRows) {
    $numRows = 5;
    echo ' -- done test';
}

$value = 0;
test($value);
echo ' -- result is '.$value;

test(${''}); //variable without name

http://ideone.com/gTvayV Code fiddle
Output of this is:

-- done test -- result is 5 -- done test

That means, the code is not crashing.
Now my question is: what exactly happens if $numRows value is changed when the parameter is a variable without name? Will the value be written into nirvana? Is that the PHP variable equivalent to /dev/null?
 I wasn't able to find anything specific about this.
Thanks in advance

A: ${''} is a valid variable which name happens to be an empty string. If you have never set it before, it is undefined.
var_dump(isset(${''}));   // if you have never set it before, it is undefined.

You don't see any error because you disabled the NOTICE error message.
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);

echo ${''}; // Notice: Undefined variable:

You can set it like this:
${''} = 10;
echo ${''};  // shows 10

A:
Now my question is: what exactly happens if $numRows value is changed
  when the parameter is a variable without name?

There's no such thing as a variable without name, an empty string in PHP is a totally valid name.
Maybe I'm wrong, but in PHP, all varibles can be accessed by their names (or more precisely, the string representation of their name), and since an empty string is still a string, it counts as a valid name.
Think about variables like an array key-value pair. You can create an array key with an empty string:
$arr = [];
$arr[''] = 'appul';
var_dump($arr['']); // prints: string(5) "appul"
$arr[''] = 'ponka';
var_dump($arr['']); // prints: string(5) "ponka"

Whenever you access $arr[''], you address the same value.
You can access all variables as a string using the $GLOBAL variable too, so you can examine what happens to your "nameless" variable:
${''} = 'ponka';
var_dump($GLOBALS['']); // prints: string(5) "ponka"
${''} = 'appul';
var_dump($GLOBALS['']); // prints: string(5) "appul"

Will the value be written into nirvana? Is that the PHP variable equivalent to /dev/null? I wasn't able to find anything specific about this.

No, it doesn't go to nirvana, it sits quietly in the global space, and it's a little bit trickier to access it, but otherways, it's a normal variable like any others.

The crowds of people hovering at Madrid's theatre complex to see Viggo Mortensen and David Cronenberg and their newest movie, A History of Violence, have been waiting more than an hour and a half to snare the best spots behind security barriers, while awaiting the appearance of one of the stars of a movie that is already being billed as one of the best of this year.
Careful security measures keep fans from overflowing into the theatre when the movie stars arrive. Díaz Yanes is one of the first to climb the stairs to the theatre, but not before posing and speaking a few words to our newspaper. 'You guys are at fault for all of this,' said Tano jokingly, referring to our newspaper's coverage of Alatriste's filming. 'What a fan movement you've started! And the best thing of all is that Viggo and the production team is delighted with that. So, damn, everybody, lets head for León.' And he disappeared upstairs into the warm Madrid night, like an Arab in the desert. Antonio Cardenal, executive producer of Alatriste confirmed that the assembling of the soundtrack, by Howard Shore, is well underway, and that the premiere will be in summer 2006.
Suddenly, there's a lot of shoving, threatening glances from police and bodyguards, and hordes of people migrate towards the parking lot entrance. Somebody from security insists that I remain behind the security barriers, along with all the other fans, but the voice of one of the producers and severe looks from the brothers Ortiz of Tripicture finally lay down the law: 'Let him stay where he is. He's a friend of Viggo's and wants to greet him.' Almost before I have a chance to notice their arrival, 210 horses suddenly appear at my side, transporting Mortensen and Cronenberg.
The back left door swings open and Viggo appears in a fabulous grey suit, while Cronenberg emerges through the opposite door.
How are my fellow Leoneses?
In two steps, Viggo's by my side, and I say hello. He hugs and greets me, smiling. 'How are my fellow Leoneses?' 'Waiting for you,' I tell him. 'I remember all of you and soon I will return,' he says. And, without time for more, he's absorbed by the multitude of fans that accost him from opposite sides of the security barrier, requesting autographs, photographs and answers to questions. Cronenberg doesn't sign too many autographs. After three quarters of an hour of, they ascend towards the room where the photographers are waiting. But when they arrive upstairs, a fan in the middle of the crowd calls Viggo's name and asks, please, for an autograph. He turns in his tracks, goes back downstairs and signs a notebook while posing for a picture. Then he returns to the photo session with Cronenberg and the brief presentation in the theatre.
For his part, Cronenberg indicates that he was very pleased with the film and noted that, 'The reception that this movie has had in Spain and the world is amazing.' The rest of the night, with the party in Moma included, ends Viggo's brief stay in Madrid.

Apple vs Samsung: Apple loses bid for US ban, new trial over juror misconduct denied, Samsung drops EU sales ban requests
- Dec. 18th 2012 6:53 am PT
AAPL Company Apple News Samsung patents Seagate
Today, we have updates on Apple and Samsung's ongoing court woes. A report from Bloomberg noted U.S. District Judge Lucy H. Koh in the San Jose, California case rejected Apple's most recent request for a United States sales ban on 26 Samsung devices. According to the report, Koh said the decision was based on the fact that the "case involves lost sales—not a lost ability to be a viable market participant."
"Samsung may have cut into Apple's customer base somewhat, but there is no suggestion that Samsung will wipe out Apple's customer base, or force Apple out of the business of making smartphones," Koh said. "The present case involves lost sales — not a lost ability to be a viable market participant."
As noted by The Verge, a second post-trial order delivered by Koh yesterday denied Samsung's request for a new trial on the claims of jury misconduct. Koh claimed that juror Velvin Hogan disclosed his previous involvement with Seagate during the jury selection process, giving Samsung's lawyers more than enough time to discover the litigation. From the court filing:
Samsung has waived its claim for an evidentiary hearing and a new trial based on Mr. Hogan's alleged dishonesty during voir dire. Prior to the verdict, Samsung could have discovered Mr. Hogan's litigation with Seagate, had Samsung acted with reasonable diligence based on information Samsung acquired through voir dire, namely that Mr. Hogan stated during voir dire that he had worked for Seagate.
Samsung vs. Apple cases abroad are also making news today: FossPatents reported today that Samsung has dropped all requests for sales bans against Apple in Europe related to standard-essential patents. However, as pointed out in the report, Samsung will still attempt to win monetary compensation in its cases against Apple, but will no longer request courts to enforce bans on Apple products.

Judge to review claims of juror misconduct in Apple vs. Samsung case Dec. 6
- Nov. 9th 2012 6:40 am PT
AAPL Company Apple News Samsung Lawsuit Seagate
Following the $1 billion verdict in the Samsung vs. Apple case, Samsung has been attempting to get the courts to investigate juror Velvin Hogan. It claimed Hogan "concealed information" about his past history with Seagate, a company Samsung is now a shareholder in. CNET reported Federal District Judge Lucy Koh will consider Samsung's claims in a hearing set for Dec. 6. At the heart of the allegations is whether Hogan disclosed that his former employee Seagate had previously sued him:
As part of her inquiry, Koh said she will require Apple to disclose what information the company's lawyers knew about the jury foreman…Samsung argued that jury foreman Velvin Hogan didn't disclose during jury selection that he had been sued by Seagate, his former employer. Samsung pointed out in court papers that Seagate and Samsung have a "substantial strategic relationship." The litigation with Seagate led Hogan to file for personal bankruptcy in 1993. Samsung maintains Hogan should have informed the court about the case.
The Register reported today that Apple called Samsung's argument a "convoluted theory," adding it was Samsung responsibilities to interview jurors members during jury selection: expand full story

Seagate buys long time Mac peripheral maker LaCie for roughly $186 million
Jordan Kahn - May. 23rd 2012 9:55 am PT
Seagate announced its plans to buy LaCie, a Paris-based maker of various data storage products that are popular among Mac users, this morning. LaCie makes various products aimed at Mac users including a couple Thunderbolt enabled solutions that we showed you recently. Seagate will buy the 64.5-percent of the company currently held by CEO Philippe Spruch—and the rest in cash upon completion of that transaction (via Forbes):
Seagate Technology plc the worldwide leader in hard disk drives and storage solutions, and LaCie S.A. a leading manufacturer of consumer storage products, today announced an exclusive agreement with the intent for Seagate to acquire a controlling interest in LaCie.The transaction would combine two highly complementary product and technology portfolios, adding LaCie's line of premium branded consumer storage solutions, network-attached storage solutions and software offerings to Seagate's array of mainstream consumer storage products.
SEAGATE AND LACIE ANNOUNCE EXCLUSIVE AGREEMENT WITH INTENT FOR SEAGATE TO ACQUIRE CONTROLLING INTEREST IN LACIE
Seagate has Offered to Purchase LaCie CEO's 64.5% Ownership Position; Seagate to Subsequently Commence Tender Offer for Remaining Outstanding Shares
Expands Seagate's Product Line and Capabilities in the Growing Consumer Storage Market
CUPERTINO, CA and PARIS, FRANCE – May 23, 2012 – Seagate Technology plc (NASDAQ: STX) the worldwide leader in hard disk drives and storage solutions, and LaCie S.A. (Euronext: LAC), a leading manufacturer of consumer storage products, today announced an exclusive agreement with the intent for Seagate to acquire a controlling interest in LaCie. Seagate has offered to purchase from Philippe Spruch, LaCie's chairman and CEO, and his affiliate, all of their shares, representing 64.5% of the outstanding shares of LaCie. Following receipt of governmental approvals and the close of this transaction, Seagate would commence an all-cash simplified tender offer (followed as the case may be by a squeeze-out procedure) to acquire the remaining outstanding shares in accordance with the General Regulation of the French Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF).
Seagate has offered Mr. Spruch and his affiliate €4.05 per share in cash, minus a potential adjustment depending on the cash and debt position of LaCie at closing. This price may be increased by a possible price supplement of 3% in the event that the threshold of 95% of the shares and voting rights of LaCie would be reached by Sparrow within 6 months following closing, resulting in a maximum potential price per LaCie share of €4.17. Without the price supplement, the offer currently values LaCie at an approximate €146 million, or $186 million total equity value, including acquired net cash of approximately €49 million, or $65 million, as of March 31, 2012. The €4.05 per share price represents a premium of 29% to LaCie's average closing stock price over the 30 trading days ended May 22, 2012.
Ricol Lasteyrie & Associés was appointed today as independent expert by the board of directors of LaCie, to deliver a fairness opinion on the price that would be offered in the context of the tender offer, including in the perspective of a potential squeeze-out procedure.
The transaction would combine two highly complementary product and technology portfolios, adding LaCie's line of premium branded consumer storage solutions, network-attached storage solutions and software offerings to Seagate's array of mainstream consumer storage products. The combination would accelerate Seagate's growth strategy in the expanding consumer storage market, particularly in Europe and Japan, and add strong engineering and software development capabilities, as well as relationships with several key retailers.
The transaction is expected to be neutral to Seagate's fiscal 2013 earnings per share.
Following the close of the sale of his shares to Seagate, Mr. Spruch would join Seagate and lead the company's consumer storage products organization. Reporting to him would be Patrick Connolly, who currently serves as vice president and general manager of Seagate's retail group, as well as Pierre van der Elst, who currently serves as deputy general manager of LaCie. The financial terms of the new position of Mr Spruch are not determined as of today and would therefore be described subsequently, including in the tender offer documentation.
"Seagate has a strong commitment to the growing consumer storage market and bringing the most dynamic products to market. LaCie has built an exceptional consumer brand by delivering exciting and innovative high-end products for many years. This transaction would bring a highly complementary set of capabilities to Seagate, significantly expand our consumer product offerings, add a premium-branded direct-attached storage line, strengthen our network-attached storage business line and enhance our capabilities in software development," said Steve Luczo, Seagate chairman, president and CEO. "We are also excited that Philippe, who is a true visionary and leader in the consumer storage business, would join Seagate to run our consumer storage products organization."
"With the proliferation of devices and content being shared and stored today, consumer demand for high-quality branded storage solutions continues to grow," said Philippe Spruch, LaCie's chairman and CEO. "We are excited about the potential for this combination to benefit customers and employees by creating significant scale and opening up new markets. We look forward to making the resources of a much larger company available to our customers around the world."
LaCie will initiate the information and consultation process required by its employee representative council in relation to the contemplated transaction, in accordance with French law. Upon completion of this process, Seagate and Mr. Spruch would execute a definitive share purchase agreement and finalize the purchase of the controlling interest held by Mr. Spruch and his affiliate. This share purchase transaction is expected to close in the third calendar quarter of 2012 pending completion of the relevant governmental reviews. Seagate would then commence a tender offer for the remaining outstanding shares of LaCie (followed as the case may be by a squeeze-out procedure), subject to a clearance decision from the AMF. The tender offer is expected to be completed in the third calendar quarter of 2012.
The transaction is subject to regulatory approval in the United States (antitrust filing), France (approval of foreign investments by the Ministry of Finance) and other jurisdictions (antitrust filing in Germany) and to other customary closing conditions.
Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC served as financial advisor and Allen & Overy LLP served as legal advisor to Seagate in connection with the transaction. De Pardieu Brocas Maffei A.A.R.P.I served as legal advisor to LaCie.

Gallstones are hard deposits formed in the gallbladder.
The gallbladder is a small organ located below the liver which secretes digestive enzymes.
Gallstones differ in size; they can be very minute or large as the size of an apricot.
Gallstones contain cholesterol, bile salts or bilirubin. 80% of the gallstones contain cholesterol while 20% are made of calcium salts and bilirubin.
Cholesterol gallstones develop when there is excess cholesterol in the bile secreted by the liver.
Bilirubin is a compound produced by the liver to destroy old red blood cells.
Gallstones from bilirubin develop when the gallbladder can't break down excess bilirubin. Concentrated bile can also lead to the formation of gallstones.
Risk factors for developing gallstones include obesity, diabetes mellitus, consuming a diet high in fat or cholesterol, liver cirrhosis, etc.
Most people do not experience any symptoms.
When gallstones block the duct which send the bile to the digestive system, people start experiencing symptoms such as upper abdominal colicky pain, nausea, and vomiting, fever, yellowing of skin, etc.
Extreme gallstone pin is known as 'gallbladder attack' which lasts for 1-2 hours. This occurs when the gallstone blocks the duct that transports bile.
Medications are prescribed to dissolve the gallstones but these take quite some time to show effect and gallstones may return. Surgery to remove gallstones or gall bladder is recommended when symptoms are significant.
What is the role of turmeric in gallstones?
Turmeric's anti-inflammatory property and ability to prevent gallstone formation makes it a therapeutic agent in the treatment of gallstones.
However, studies show that curcumin can cause gall bladder contraction which brings about confusion as to whether turmeric should be taken in gallstones or not.
Rashid et. al conducted a study where they examined the effect of curcumin as a cholecystokinetic agent. A cholecystokinetic agent is one that causes gall bladder contraction and rapid emptying of the gall bladder.
12 healthy individuals were given a single oral dose of 20mg curcumin and its effect on contraction on gall bladder was studied.
Within 2 hours there was a significant increase in contraction of the gall bladder was observed and 29% contraction was observed.
Another study was conducted where the dose of curcumin required to bring about 50% contraction of the gall bladder was ascertained.
It was found that a dose of 40mg curcumin after 2 hours brings about 50% contraction of the gall bladder.
However, these findings are proven in healthy individuals. If these are held true for individuals suffering from gallstones, then contraction of gall bladder to this extent will cause severe pain and discomfort.
Hence it is advised to avoid curcumin supplements when suffering from gallstones or bile duct obstructions.
Dietary turmeric is unlikely to pose this problem since curcumin accounts only for 3-5% of the dry root content.
Curcumin at doses of 20-40mg can cause gall bladder contraction and emptying in healthy individuals. It is not proven if curcumin would cause the same effect in individuals suffering from gallstones or bile duct obstruction, but as a precautionary measure it is advised to avoid curcumin supplements in such cases.
Dietary turmeric is not likely to pose such problems if suffering from gallstones or bile duct obstruction.
Turmeric is identified as a herb that prevents gallstone formation. Hussain et. al have shown that curcumin can reduce the incidence of developing gallstones due to high cholesterol diet by 26%.
An animal study was conducted where mice were fed a gallstone forming diet (high cholesterol diet) and treated with curcumin and/or piperine (the active constituent of black pepper).
Results demonstrated that combination was successful in preventing the formation of gallstones and reduced the cholesterol and bile levels. Piperine potentiated the effect of curcumin.
Combination of curcumin and capsaicin (the compound that offers pungency to chillies) also prevents the formation of gallstones by improving the function of the liver and raising the level of antioxidant enzymes in the liver.
Cholestasis is a condition in which the bile from the liver does not reach the intestine. Various reasons could be responsible for this, including obstruction of bile duct by a gallstone.
Animal study shows that curcumin treatment protects the liver from damage and reduces oxidative stress and inflammation in cholestasis or bile duct obstruction like conditions.
Bilary dyskinesia is a disorder in which the bile cannot physically move to through the duct.
Turmeric in combination with herb chelidonium is found to reduce colicky abdominal pain and other symptoms in individuals suffering from bilary dyskinesia.
Cholecystotectomy is surgical removal of the gall bladder.
A study was conducted where curcumin or painkillers were prescribed to individuals who had undergone laparoscopic cholecystotectomy to help deal with postoperative pain and fatigue.
Within the first two weeks, pain was significantly lower in the group treated with curcumin. At week 3 the study group experienced a significant reduction in pain and use of painkillers was also reduced.
The findings of this study show that curcumin can be taken by individuals who have their gall bladder surgically removed.
Research suggests that curcumin can aid in prevention of gallstone formation by regulating bile and cholesterol levels. Curcumin by virtue of its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties shows therapeutic effect in gallbladder related problems but studies on humans need to be conducted.
It can be safely concluded that dietary turmeric would not cause any adverse effect on the gallbladder and can serve to be therapeutic in gallbladder disorders.
Based on the data available to date, curcumin supplements should be avoided by those suffering from gallstones or bile duct obstructions.
Dietary turmeric can still be safely consumed.
However, stick to small quantities or if cautious avoid turmeric till the gallbladder obstruction or gallstone is removed or dissolved.
If intending to take turmeric for PREVENTION of gallstone or any other disorder we recommend The Golden Paste. It combines turmeric, black pepper, and fats which ensure good absorption of turmeric.
Golden paste can be made from fresh roots as well.
Start with 1/4 tsp a day and increase gradually over weeks. 1-2 teaspoons once or twice a day can help (precisely 1 tsp 3 times a day). Here are some easy ways to use The Golden Paste.
Turmeric Milk is also a delicious option.
If you need help ascertaining a good brand of turmeric please visit check our recommendations on good turmeric brands.
If suffering from bleeding risks please consult a health practitioner before taking turmeric and curcumin supplements should be avoided.
Curcumin is proven to cause gall bladder contraction in healthy individuals. Hence it is advised that people suffering from gall stones or bile duct obstructions should avoid curcumin supplements.
However, studies in humans are required to prove this data. Turmeric can be beneficial in preventing gallstones and treating other gallstone disorders. Dietary turmeric can benefit in the treatment of these disorders.
Till further research is conducted, it is safe to say that curcumin supplements should be avoided in case of gall bladder obstruction disorders or active gallstones but dietary turmeric can still be consumed.
In the research above, the healthy persons who took turmeric got their gal bladder contracted. Did they have any feeling, pain or sensation of contraction in their upper abdomin?
I don't have a gallbladder. What affect will Turmeric Paste taken in milk, bone broth and lemon water have?
Hi. Turmeric in the diet is safe even after a gallbladder surgery.
I'm attempting to find out the following.
I don't have a gallbladder. Should I use Turmeric Honey Paste?
What is the advantage of heating the turmeric when making Golden Paste? I have been mixing raw turmeric with coconut oil and black pepper and having it in a warm drink. Do I need to be boiling or simmering it first for maximum benefits?
Hi. The way you take turmeric will still deliver benefits. Boiling turmeric powder helps to increase its solubility in water and increase its absorption. Though not applicable to fresh turmeric roots, boiling them would help you get a turmeric tea like drink that is also said to benefit health based on readers' experiences.
Curcumin in Turmeric actually helps in proteinuria – protein excreted in urea. We generally recommend Golden Paste as one of the best ways to take turmeric powder for therapeutic purposes.
However we would recommend consulting a health practitioner about this so as to find out what is the cause for proteinuria. Since it is related to kidney health, it is important to note that turmeric has potassium and as a spice it contains oxalates. In case of kidney disorders these cmponents must be avoided in diet. So she may not be allowed to consume turmeric as a spice in therapeutic amounts and may need to opt for supplements.
Please consult a health practitioner about this.
Hi. Thank you for your feedback. Here is a good brand of turmeric supplements. You can read up about the company and take an informed decision.
I grow turmeric and ginger and juice it through a wheatgrass juicer only. I take the juice…equal parts of each and add a good amount of good HONEY, not grocery store, to the juice and blend together. The honey is a preservative, so no need to refrigerate the elixir after blending. Place a tablespoon amt. in a glass of silk coconut milk and drink. Tastes like egg Knog. You can add PEPPERINE To the mix if you like, but using the pure fresh liquid….Mother Nature supplied the turmeric oil in it. Much better to use than dried powder. Buy your ORGANIC turmeric and ginger in bulk…Amazon has it. Unbelievable results…great energy and healing for cancer.
Thank you for sharing this, Bernadette. Glad to hear that turmeric benefits you. Turmeric and ginger are an excellent combination and great as anti-inflammatory and natural pain-killers. They improve digestion and have anti-microbial effect as well.
I was diagnosed with gallstones 2 yrs ago, 2 episodes of abdominal pain for few minutes. Surgery was recommended but i did the chinese remedy for gallstones–taking apple juice, olive oil and lemon for 1 wk. I did this twice. No pain since i was diagnosed. Can i take the tumeric tablet or dietary supplement?
Hi. It is best to consult a health practitioner about taking turmeric supplement in your case as curcumin does cause gall bladder contraction which may be problematic in case of active gallstones.
By the way thank you so much for caring. The work you do would be very rewarding -you are wonderful.
Hi. Turmeric actually can prevent gallstones, as curcumin help the gallbladder contract and improves its function. Based on the study it is possible that a contraction of this kind may cause pain in active gallstones. However if you have taken turmeric previously in diet and not faced any issue, then there shouldn't be any reason for it to pose a risk now.
Dietary amount of turmeric should cause no harm. Also turmeric in milk is great for aches as the milk helps in absorption of turmeric.
Thank you for your feedback! Glad to hear that our posts make a difference to your health!
I am wondering how long does none need to be off Golden Paste before surgery, and soon could it be started again.
Dietary turmeric is consumed daily in Asian countries and is not discontinued even prior to surgery. However you could stop consuming 2 weeks prior to be on a safer side and can start again 2-3 days after your doctor advises regular meals (if in case they were discontinued previously) or after you can resume regular diet.

The world we are a part of is constantly in flux, but it is difficult to perceive, understand, and acknowledge change when one is embedded within it. I am interested in relationships between our bodies and land, between the present and deep time, and between the earth's revolution around the sun and our own movement within that system. Atmospheric variables like rain and wind are reminders that transformation is ever-present and that we are participants in a slow, incremental evolution. But in the anthropocene, once predictable weather patterns have become increasingly erratic, producing storms and fires and floods that push the limits of our ability to respond. My work is motivated by the question of placing oneself in an ever-evolving world, one that presents new ontological circumstances that are difficult to comprehend on a human scale. I create site-responsive works that reframe ecological phenomena in order to invite moments of wonder and reflection.
My most recent work distills moving sunlight into discrete moments captured through installation and mark-making. I track time by tracing light, keeping a tangible record of time's movement that provides a new perspective. This new perspective positions the viewer on an edge of sorts—outside the given associations of a system and looking in. Unlike boundaries or borders, which are meant to divide and separate, edges are places where two surfaces or forces meet. Edges are precarious places, defined by a material reality. They exist at earth's crust, on the surface of our skin, at the throat of a volcano, or at an ecotone where habitats meet, and they provide a vantage point to look at both what is above and below, what is behind and possibly ahead. I intend to challenge traditional methods of viewership by collaborating with the sun or clouds and engaging edges and apertures as a means to distill universal, timeless systems into tangible, present experiences. These experiences are meant to recognize the tension between our own physical insignificance and the absolute necessity of human agency, understanding, and empathy.

Anyone who has cats (we have four, which, at times, is five too many) can tell you they can be very, well, cat-like sometimes, leaving you wondering if they're off hiding somewhere or if they somehow snuck out of the house when you weren't looking and are out in the street ducking traffic.
The only way to get them out of their undisclosed location, to cite a chestnut from the President George W. Bush administration, is to shake the treat box, whereupon you face the terrible possibility of being trampled by starving felines looking to grab as many of the crunchy nuggets they can ingest.
It seems Senate Republican Leader Mitch "Root-'n-Branch'' McConnell is doing a little treat box shaking of his own, only on a much higher scale, looking to induce party supporters with deep pockets to "reach in them jeans and pull out them greens'' as Gary Burbank used to say, to make sure the GOP retains the majority in the upper chamber and he can continue to exist in the manner to which he has become accustomed.
Looking at the electoral map and perusing the poll numbers that show "President'' Trump's (you've GOT to be kidding) dipping below the 40 percent mark into territory usually confined to dead people, the Louisville lawmaker is growing a bit wary that the Republican majority, which already rests at a razor-thin one seat, is in trouble as the November 6 election approaches.
Meeting with reporters in Louisville this week, McConnell allowed that the "wind's going to be in our face'' in the march toward Election Day and contests earlier thought to be in hand for Republicans are looking a bit more dubious.
"Arizona, Nevada, Tennessee, Montana, North Dakota, Missouri, Indiana, West Virginia and Florida — all of them too close to call, and every one of them like a knife fight in an alley,'' ol' Root-'n-Branch noted. "I mean, just a brawl in every one of those places.
"I hope when the smoke clears, we'll still have a majority,'' he said.
It wasn't supposed to be this way. While the Republican majority in the House has been seen teetering on the brink for months, the party's status in the upper chamber, while not a sure thing, was certainly solid.
Thirty-five of the Senate's 100 seats are up for grabs this year. Of those 35, 24 are currently held by Democrats, with two others maintained by Independents who caucus with the Dems. That left Republicans with a clear advantage since they only have to defend nine seats. What's more, 10 Democratic incumbents, folks like Sen. Joe Manchin, D-WV, Sen. Heidi Heitkamp, D-ND, Sen. Joe Donnelly, D-IN, and Sen. Jon Tester, D-MT, hail from states that Trump carried in overwhelming fashion less than two years ago.
The Republicans looked to have trouble only in Nevada, where Sen. Dean Heller has done everything possible over the past six years to give the seat away. And there were some early concerns in Arizona, which is selecting replacements for McCain and Sen. Jeff Flake, who is retiring. Otherwise seas appeared calm.
But Republicans have grown noticeably nervous of late. Manchin appears to have a comfortable lead and, to the surprise of many, a recent NBC News/Marist poll shows Donnelly leading GOP challenger, businessman Mike Braun, by six points, with Donnelly pulling up just short of the magic 50 percent mark.
But the big story is in Texas, where the Democrat, Rep. Beto O'Rourke, is giving Sen. Ted Cruz, a man despised by friend and foe alike, all he can handle. It's gotten to the point in the Lone Star State where Trump, who once insulted Cruz' wife and intimated that his father was somehow in on the Kennedy assassination, is going down to campaign in his behalf.
And the open seat in Tennessee, currently held by retiring Republican Sen. Bob Corker, is also giving the party angina. Former Democratic Gov. Phil Bredesen, who remains popular despite the state's shift to the GOP, is running neck-and-neck with Rep. Marsha Blackburn, who often makes Trump look sane, a monumental achievement. A loss here would be extremely bad news for McConnell.
While it's safe to assume the Senate is in play, it still appears the Republicans are drawing the better cards. All they have to do is maintain the status quo and they can continue to achieve what has become their primary goal – completely revamping the federal judiciary from the Supreme Court on down and doing it with young jurists who will be there for a generation even if Democrats grab control in the future.
Democrats seemingly would have to run the table in order to gain the majority and there are any number of bumps. Sen. Bill Nelson, D-FL, is running slightly behind Gov. Rick Scott in recent polling. The GOP appears confident Heitkamp is a goner in North Dakota and Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-MO, is running no better than neck-and-neck with GOP Attorney General Josh Hawley in a state Trump carried by double-digits.
It's too early for either side to pop the champagne corks but McConnell is playing with scared money. According to USA Today, his political action committee, the Senate Leadership Fund, is suddenly pouring dough into races that few anticipated would need the cash. In all, the Senate Leadership Fund is expecting to spend $60 million in the midterm elections. Some of that, $1.1 million, is being dedicated toward television ads in Tennessee, once considered a safe haven.
This does provide McConnell with an opportunity to do what he does best – beg money from rich, white Republicans, who are legion. Presenting the fat cats with the specter of a Democratic majority sans reliable conservatives like Cruz will undoubtedly give GOP donors the willies, making ol' Root-'n-Branch's job of picking their pockets that much easier.
If there's one thing Republicans can do it's outspend Democrats, thanks in large measure to the Citizens United case in which the Supreme Court abolished caps on donations an individual can make to a candidate in a two-year cycle. With that ruling in place, Republicans are almost always destined to outspend their Democratic foes.
It shouldn't have been this difficult for McConnell and his gang. It's true that the party that controls the White House usually loses seats in the midterm election. That will almost certainly happen in the House.
But the GOP had everything going for it in the Senate – few seats to protect, Democratic incumbents from states carried by Trump, Citizens United, and an economy that's humming along despite some danger signals – business disruptions caused by Trump's tariff strategy and a budget deficit expected to hit $1 trillion this year, thanks in large measure to an unconscionable tax cut.
But Trump is proving to be something significantly less than a magnet for voters.
The latest from the essential political website, 538, places his approval at 39.9 percent. The Plague had better numbers back in Eurasia in the 1300s (listen, if Trump can say his poll numbers are better than Lincoln's, I can use surveys from the 14th Century). Suburban voters are turning their backs on him in droves. And white women, who inconceivably afforded him 52 percent of their votes in 2016, have seemingly, finally, had enough.
And there is the changing demographics. America is becoming browner every day and those folks are voting Democratic, given the overt racism of the leader of the Republican Party. That factor could play a significant role in states like Texas and Arizona, GOP strongholds that are tightening up.
It looks from here that Senate Republicans will survive the onslaught – for the time being.

Q: Await not working when pass async function as params LODASH I created a custom function with params using callback to reuse, but await not working
const _debounceSearch = debounce(
    async (callback: (params: RequestParams) => any, value: string | undefined, language: string | undefined) => {
      const data = await callback({ q: value, lang: language });

      console.log('data on search', data);

      return data;
    },
    300,
  );

const dataCompanies = await _debounceSearch(apiSearchCompany, searchValue, languageParam);

        console.log('dataCompanies', dataCompanies);

        if (dataCompanies) {
          setCompanySearchTags(
            data.items.map((item: Company) => ({ value: item.id, label: item.name, checked: false })),
          );
        }

I only got undefined result although i pass await prefix.

A: I don't think debounce function itself can be a promise. debounce(fn) is just a regular function, but you can make a Promise whenever you want.
Maybe checkout, Using lodash debounce to return a promise

NASA captures meteor fireball over Arizona, sonic boom picked up by seismometer
NASA Meteor Watch
Tue, 26 Sep 2017 17:12 UTC
© NASA Meteor Watch
Our all sky cameras at Kitt Peak National Observatory, Mount Lemmon Observatory, and the MMT Observatory captured footage of a brilliant fireball that occurred over southern Arizona at 8:32 PM Mountain Daylight Time on September 23rd (2017 September 24 03:27 UTC).
The meteor originated 49 miles above the desert southwest of Tucson, Arizona. It travelled at about 29,300 miles per hour for 12 seconds, passing almost directly over the Tortolita suburb of Tucson, before disrupting 20 miles above the desert approximately 8 miles north of the town of Oracle, Arizona.
The disruption produced a sonic boom that was picked up by a seismometer near Tucson. This indicates that the fireball may have produced meteorites that dropped somewhere over the desert.
Analysis of our video data indicates that the object that produced the fireball was likely an asteroid fragment that weighed approximately 100 pounds and had a diameter of roughly 1 foot.

· First: Admit your need ("I am a sinner. I have done wrong things in my life. I haven't been perfect Lord").
· Second: Be willing to turn away from your sins / wrong-doing (Repent).
· Third: Believe that Jesus died for you on the cross & has risen from the grave.
· Fourth: Through prayer, ask Jesus Christ to come in and control your life (invite Him into your heart).
· Finally: Receive Him as Savior and Lord. It's that simple. God loves you!


I just saw this and thought it was worth posting to inform all of our readers that there has been a recent change to the North Carolina laws for purchase of a crossbow. In the past, a hunter had to obtain a NC pistol purchase permit in order to purchase a crossbow for hunting. This requirement has now been revoked and anyone can purchase a crossbow without a pistol purchase permit. See the entire story here.
We will try to keep our readers up to date with any local law changes.


With the latest Chromium Git as of yesterday, WebGL 2 is turned on by default for the desktop but isn't yet ready to be turned on for the Android builds. The WebGL 2 support can be toggled via about:flags.
WebGL 2.0 is derived from the OpenGL ES 3.0 specification and has been in development since 2013. WebGL 2.0 also raises the requirements over WebGL 1.0 to allow for more textures, higher precision in shaders, and more. WebGL 2.0 allows for much more potential of native games on the web and other beautiful graphics. The latest stable release is still WebGL 1.0.2 while the latest editor's draft of the WebGL 2.0 specification can be found here. With Google now enabling WebGL 2 on the desktop by default, it looks like WebGL 2.0 support should be about settled.

Our congregation is a true community, excelling in meaningful worship, educational opportunities for all ages, social and tzedakah programs.
We strive to be an extended family of people who care about each other and our community. Rodeph Sholom has always sought to blend the teachings of our Jewish heritage with the best lessons of modern culture. We are proud of our beautiful worship services, our commitment to social action, and our emphasis on Jewish education for people of all ages. Rodeph Sholom was the first Reform congregation to open a Jewish Day School. Our schools, like our congregation, are flourishing.
Our Temple House and Sanctuary, designed by the renowned architect Charles B. Meyers, was dedicated on Purim, March 1930. The architecture style follows the Romanesque of the 11th and 12th centuries. Beautiful, yet simple in design, the Sanctuary enhances our sense of reverence, as attention is directed to the Ark housing our Torah scrolls and the engraved Hebrew words: "Know before whom you stand."

Winter is here! Snow and ice are everywhere–just as New Year's revelers are preparing to hit the roads! So be careful, folks. And obey the signs!
Well, OK, not all signs.
It's all that snot that did it!
Shouldn't have eaten so much cake.
If you get stuck, ask for help. But be careful who you ask.
Lord, is there such a thing as un-praying?
Ah, what's a little snow, eh?


What's this? A manual transmission in an Audi sedan? With six gears? Hadn't these row-your-owns vanished from the automotive universe? Or did Audi deplete its stock of eight-speed tiptronics that account for the majority of quattro-equipped A4s? Do some drivers still prefer three pedals and complete control of their gears? Could it be?
Indeed, it was this gearshift, poking up from the centre console like a lithe little gopher, that was the first surprise in our 2015 Audi A4 Progressiv quattro. Progessiv is Audi's third of four trim options on the A4, ranking just above two Komfort models and just below the top-line Technik. Call the Progressive the just-right porridge.
And so the A4's comparatively small direct-injection 2.0L might only just rival the power from a 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RS. But the 2015 A4's 220 horsepower (an increase of nine), especially when hinged to the manual, makes for some brisk and pleasurable motoring. While the Audi's 220 hp might pale in comparison to the 241 in BMW's 328, the Audi matches the 328's 255 pound-feet of torque with its 258.
Clicks between gears could definitely be tightened, as the throws felt far too sloppy for a company that produces the perfect click-clack in the R8. But the torque curve and minimal turbo lag are such that most of the motivation arrives like the first party guest, showing up early and delivering a gregarious performance. Zero to 100 km/h acceleration is pegged at 6.6 seconds. That's far from sedate and definitely a gateway to some fun.
In fact, my entire two weeks with this car was enjoyable. Even though the A4 never defines itself by doing one particular thing appreciably well — be it stellar fuel economy, enormous cargo space or crazy acceleration — it still stands out for its ability to multitask, doing many things competently. Most importantly, it felt good to drive every day, whether it be the regular office commute or a late-night run along the parkway: Each drive in an A4 returns a steady level of satisfaction often missing in similarly capable cars.
That goodness came from a commanding seating position atop comfortable seats, a lovely, flat-bottom leather steering wheel (though, shamefully, it's not heated), good sightlines over a flat hood, and a smart, if somewhat aging, interior. Audi's interiors have always been a hallmark of quality execution and ergonomics, and the A4's is no different; but the MMI and its graphics, as well as those in the instrument cluster, are beginning to show their age, even if they remain effective. Blame the competition – even Audi itself, which is ushering in a new level of technology on 2016 models.
Cabin noise could be improved a little, too, as could rear-seat leg room, though the Audi shares similar rear dimensions with the BMW 3 Series. I was also somewhat surprised at the higher-than-expected average fuel consumption — 11.2 L/100 km in mostly urban driving. I blame the marriage of manual and the turbo for this: it's almost impossible to drive as conservatively as this car looks.
More interesting was the ride characteristics of the A4. Our test unit came with the S Line option package, which deletes Audi's Drive Select controls. Those controls allow the driver to set throttle response, steering ratio, and even the ride to his or her tastes, though in the past the automatic setting worked just fine. So, absent of Drive Select and the sport suspension, we did get Audi's optional ($900) Adaptive Damping Suspension. This allows the driver to control the dampening force of the shocks, in effect making the A4 ride like a Vista Cruiser over harsh pavement when set to comfort, or respond as quickly and sharply as Eugenie Bouchard when the road becomes a series of zigs and zags.
In an instant the A4 can ride like a Cadillac STS or Porsche Cayman depending on the setting. This can make the A4 an ideal family car — good for the spouse who wants comfort, ideal for the other who wants to drive with vigour. And, of course, because it has a manual, that would be the only way to drive it.

Mold (mildew), mushrooms, and yeast are all types of fungi. Fungi are found both indoors and outdoors. Hundreds of different kinds of mold are commonly found in the United States and New York City.
Exposure to mold can cause allergic reactions or trigger asthma attacks. Fortunately, mold can be controlled by cleaning up visible mold and fixing the underlying problem, such as leaks or dampness.
Independent contractors who are hired to assess or remediate mold conditions must be licensed and follow the requirements of Article 32 of the NYS Labor Law. Learn more by visiting the NYS Department of Labor website.
Landlords of buildings with 10 or more apartments must use a Department of Labor-licensed mold assessor or remediator to remove mold that covers 10 or more square feet.
What does mold look and smell like?
Mold can be many different colors, including gray, black, green, yellow and orange. It may look furry, slimy or powdery. Some mold has a musty, stale or earthy smell.
Mold usually grows in wet or damp places, such as bathrooms and basements. It can grow on paper, fabric, wallpaper glue, Sheetrock, wood, soap scum, leather and many other surfaces.
It can grow almost anywhere there is water, high humidity, or damp conditions. Mold grows faster in warm temperatures and high humidity.
Some people are allergic or sensitive to mold and may experience symptoms, such as congestion, runny nose, coughing and trouble breathing.
exposure to mold can cause or worsen asthma symptoms, hay fever, or other allergies.
Some people are at risk for more severe reactions to mold, such as fever and shortness of breath. Examples include people who are exposed to large amounts of mold at work (such as agricultural workers and building demolition workers) and people who have had — or are currently undergoing — certain medical procedures (such as bone marrow or organ transplants and chemotherapy).
Health symptoms usually disappear after the mold has been removed.
If you think that you or your family member has symptoms related to mold exposure, you should see a doctor. For help finding a doctor, call 311. Keep in mind that many symptoms associated with mold exposure are also caused by many other illness.
The best way is to remove water and moisture sources. Fixing leaks, drying damp areas, and removing humidity from the air (for example, using a dehumidifier in basements; cracking a window while taking a shower in bathrooms with no exhaust ventilation; or opening a window in the kitchen while cooking) will help stop mold growth and keep it from coming back.
Seal off moldy areas using a plastic sheet and duct tape until cleaned. Keep children and pets away.
Use water and soap or detergent to clean small areas of mold (less than 10 square feet) on walls or other hard surfaces as soon as you see it.
Wear waterproof gloves while cleaning.
Clean any visible dust from the work area. Use wet mops or HEPA vacuums.
Throw away all cleaning-related waste in heavy-duty plastic bags and seal securely.
If the mold returns quickly or spreads, there may be an underlying problem such as a water leak. To stop mold, water problems must be fixed. Report the problem to your landlord.
If large areas of mold are present, you may need a professional mold abatement company. Check the phone book for licensed mold abatement contractors. You can also search online for Department of Labor-licensed mold contractors.
Landlords of buildings with three or more apartments — or buildings of any size where a tenant has asthma — are required to keep tenants' homes free of mold and pests. This includes safely fixing conditions that cause these problems, repairing water leaks and correcting persistently high humidity levels.
If you have a lot of mold, or it keeps coming back after you have cleaned it, ask your landlord to fix the problem.
If the problem isn't fixed, call 311 .
