In this episode of "PHP Internals News" I chat with Scott Arciszewski (Website, Twitter, GitHub, Patreon) about the recent PHP-FPM vulnerability ...
Anytime you see claims of a miracle cure, your guard goes up and red flags start waving. And promises of catch-all fixes for weight loss are a dime a dozen.
At the same time, the chiropractic philosophy of natural wellness may support supplement recommendation in your practice. With the weight-loss industry raking in billions of dollars each year and many of your patients struggling to manage extra pounds that create a cascade of other problems in the body, some holistic health remedies are worth exploring.
One natural agent with potential weight-loss properties is garcinia cambogia. After educating yourself on the available research and consensus on this herbal extract, you may decide it’s worth bringing into your array of treatment packages, or at least be able to answer questions about it if patients inquire.
What is garcinia cambogia?
Garcinia cambogia is a citrus fruit native to Southeast Asia. An active ingredient in its rind, hydroxycitric acid (HCA), is often used in cooking from that region but may also help with weight loss and lowering cholesterol.1
HCA is thought to boost the body’s natural fat-burning abilities and reduce appetite.1-2 It reportedly blocks an enzyme called citrate lyase, which the body uses to make fat. HCA also raises levels of the brain chemical serotonin. This may make the body feel fuller, so that less food is consumed in a sitting.
Safety and potential side effects
Studies done on the safety of garcinica cambogia have found it to be safe for consumption, with only a few mild side effects.1-2
These side effects may include dizziness, dry mouth, headache, upset stomach, or diarrhea. However, the herb should not be taken with any prescription medications for diabetes, as this may cause a dangerously low dip in blood sugar.3
What does the research say?
An article in the May 2004 issue of the journal Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry reported on a study of the use of garcinia cambogia in two groups of rats.3 One group was fed the herb, while the other was not.
The weight of each group of mice was compared at the end of 90 days. The researchers concluded that a “90 day treatment of HCA-SX results in a reduction in body weight, and does not cause any changes in major organs or in hematology, clinical chemistry, and histopathology.”
Savvy DCs will see weight-loss as an area in which they can not only help patients move toward their fitness goals, but also engender a steady stream of income.
By understanding the limitations and benefits of supplements such as garcinia cambogia, you set yourself up for expanded opportunities.
A new program has been added to the
Free CD, DVD and Blu-Ray Burning Software
page. This one can not only create data discs but also audio CDs, rip (ie, copy) music from CDs, make ISO images,
burn ISO images, create multi-session discs, erase discs, etc. It's useful for those who find the built-in
facilities provided by Windows too limited.

Calculators are one of the few tools that have become just as useful online as they are off. Perhaps even more so, when you consider that we now have apps that can calculate more than just hard numbers.
Online calculators do everything from help us manage our diet, figure out a loan payment to telling us the distance between two points. Whatever the equation, there’s likely a niche tool out there to provide answers.
In that spirit, we’ve put together a collection of code snippets that calculate all sorts of things. Not only are they useful, but they also demonstrate the power of both CSS and JavaScript.

Let’s start with the calculator we’re all familiar with. This snippet, built with React, is not unlike the pocket model many of us carried around in school. And it’s still useful. You don’t want to solve those equations on your own, right?
At first glance, the letters “VW” might make you think of the popular German cars. But in the web design space, VW stands for “Viewport Width”. It’s the percentage of the full width of a browser window. This calculator provides an easy way to find your VW. Enter the width of your design element and that of the viewport and see the result.

What’s Your BMI?
Here’s a simple way to calculate your body mass index (BMI). This is a combined measure of your height and weight. This calculation is then used to determine whether or not you are within a healthy range. This snippet takes your height (in inches) and weight (in pounds) and calculates BMI using Angular.
Buying a car is a pretty big deal. Before you head to the dealer, you might want to make sure that you can afford that monthly payment. Use this handy calculator, written in Vue.js, to determine various payment scenarios. The clever use of JavaScript also enables the totals to change on the fly.
When performing tasks such as cropping images, keeping the correct aspect ratio is important. Failure to do so can lead to some unpleasant distortion. This simple calculator takes the original size of an element on the top line. Then, as you enter the desired new width on the second line, it will automatically determine the correct height – thus keeping your ratio intact.
It’s pretty common practice these days to use the CSS REM unit for sizing text. REMs are relevant to the size of the root element. So, if your base font size is 16px, that is equal to 1rem. But calculations beyond that can be tricky. This handy converter will help you size things just right. Plus, it generates a snippet to that you can copy and paste into your stylesheet.
As time goes on, it seems like CSS is becoming capable of some amazing feats. Take this CSS-only calculator. No, it’s probably not going to replace the fancy JavaScript options on this list. But it does show what’s possible with a little creative thinking. And that in itself is impressive.
For those looking to buy an electric vehicle, one of the biggest concerns is the driving range. This calculator will show how many miles you can drive various Tesla models on a single charge. It uses criteria such as speed, outside temperature, wheel size and whether or not the air conditioning system is in use.
It just so happens that calculators and code go perfectly together. Languages such as JavaScript are quite reliant on math, so it’s only natural that developers are using it to build these types of apps.
What’s really amazing is that we’re only scratching the surface when it comes to the types of calculators being built. To see even more examples, check out our CodePen collection.
