Finance & Development, September 1973
Show Summary Details
Finance & Development, September 1973
- Development and Income Distribution: Economic growth has been accompanied by increasing inequality in many developing countries. But a strategy of "nibbling" at the problems of income distribution through financial and technical assistance seems promising.
- The Plight of Small Countries: Small countries receive more aid than big ones, on both a per capita basis and as a percentage of their GNP. But this may not be as unfair as it seems.
- Priorities for Statistical Development: In improving social and economic statistics in developing countries, scarce resources such as skilled manpower and technical facilities can be best used by concentrating on priority sectors.
- How Relevant is Finance for Development?: Existing financial policies, practices, and institutions in many developing countries are a major obstacle to economic growth.
- Economic Aid Through Debt Relief: Long-term foreign assistance, or help toward resolving a short-term liquidity problem?—a look at this sensitive issue with a table summarizing multilateral debt renegotiations 1956-73.
- Incomes and Labor Market Policies in Sweden: Direct controls have been replaced by fiscal and monetary policies and energetic efforts by the Swedish Government to retrain and redeploy labor. The authors describe how well these measures have reconciled price stability with full employment and economic growth.
- Problems and Prospects in East-West Trade: If the political and economic barriers continue to fall, rising real income in Eastern Europe will push demand for imports above the 11 per cent annual increase of the past decade.
- Income Distribution and Project Selection: The third London Airport serves as an example of how noneconomic issues and income distribution might have been introduced along with the efficiency criterion at a very early stage of project selection. If it had, the site chosen might be different….
- IMF Resident Representatives: An important aspect of the Fund's technical assistance effort is the work of its Resident Representatives in member countries.
- Mail survey results: The Readership of Finance and Development: A summary of the results of the 1973 survey of the English, French, and Spanish mailing lists.

Last Updated September 17, 2012
On September 17, 2012, Intuit Websites' (now a Homestead Technologies, Inc. company) and Homestead's Privacy Policy was updated. Please review the updated Privacy Policy below. To view the previous Privacy Policy, click here.
If you are a Google Get Your Business Online customer, your Privacy Policy has not changed. To access this Privacy Policy, click here.
Your privacy is very important to Homestead Technologies, Inc. ("Homestead"). We want to make your experience using our services and on the Internet as enjoyable and rewarding as possible, and we want you to use the Internet's vast array of information, tools and opportunities with complete confidence.
We have created this Privacy Policy to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy and security. This Privacy Policy describes how Homestead collects information from all end users of Homestead's Internet services (the "Services") including those who access some of our Services but do not have accounts ("Visitors") as well as those who pay a service fee to subscribe to the Services ("Users"). We also describe what we do with the information we collect and the choices Visitors and Users have concerning the collection and use of such information. Homestead requests that you read this Privacy Policy carefully.
INTRODUCTION. Homestead collects information in different ways from Visitors and Users who access the various parts of our Services and the network of websites accessible through our Services. We use this information primarily to provide a customized experience as you use our Services and, generally, do not share this information with third parties. However, we may disclose personal information collected if we have received your permission beforehand or in very special circumstances, such as when we believe that such disclosure is required or permitted by law or other special cases described below.
REGISTRATION AND ACCOUNT INFORMATION. Users are asked to provide certain personal information when they sign up for our Services including name, postal address, email address, telephone number, billing information (such as a credit card number), and the type of personal computer being used to access the Services. In addition, for domain registrations, Users may be asked to submit the above listed personal information for the registrant, administrative, technical and billing contacts of a domain name for submission to the appropriate domain registry or registration database (collectively, "Domain Name Registration Information"). Users may be asked to complete an online form that collects information about demographics, product usage and preferences, along with other information that will help us improve our products and services. The personal information collected from Users through these forms is used to manage each User's account (such as for billing purposes) and provide Users with information about services that may be of interest to them. This information is not shared with third parties, unless specifically stated otherwise or in special circumstances. However, in instances where Homestead and a partner jointly promote the Services, Homestead may provide the partner certain personal information, such as the name, address, and username of persons who subscribed to the Services as a result of the joint promotion for the sole purpose of allowing us and the partner to assess the results of the promotion. In this instance, personal information may not be used by the partner for any other purpose. Homestead may also generate non-identifying and aggregate profiles from personal information Users provide during registration (such as the total number, but not the names, of Users). As explained in more detail below, we may in certain instances use this aggregated and non-identifying information to sell advertisements that appear on the Services.
DOMAIN REGISTRATION. In certain jurisdictions or pursuant to the rules of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ("ICANN") or certain registries, Domain Name Registration Information legally has to be available to the public. Where Domain Name Registration Information is available to the public, anyone can access it through "WHOIS" searches. The WHOIS database is a publicly accessible database that lists the domain name and contact information of the registrant, administrative, and technical contacts for the domain name, the nameserver(s), and the domain name's creation and expiration date. The Domain Name Registration Information you provide is hosted by us and provided to the public. At times, our Users may receive solicitations that result from searches of the publicly available WHOIS database conducted by other companies or individuals. However, the solicitation and/or SPAM they receive do not in any way come from Homestead and Homestead does not control the use of WHOIS information by third parties. Further, pursuant to ICANN rules, Homestead is required to make WHOIS data available to a third party that enters into a bulk access agreement. ICANN allows individuals to opt-out (using the account management panel, domain management console or similar service) of their WHOIS information being made available to third parties through bulk access; however, companies, businesses, and other organizations do not have the option to choose not to have their information made available to such a third party under a bulk access agreement. We may also deposit your Domain Name Registration Information with a third-party escrow provider to comply with ICANN requirements.
HOMESTEAD PARTNERS AND SPONSORS. Some products and services are offered to Visitors and Users in conjunction with a partner (e.g., domain registration and for joint promotions, as described in paragraph 2 above). To provide Visitors and Users with some of these products and services, the partner may need to collect and maintain personal information. In these instances, we will provide such data collected or transferred to our Partners and Sponsors. Additionally, many Homestead Users have co-branded pages that are co-sponsored by non-affiliated partners. Homestead will share non-identifying and aggregate information (except as described above), but not personally identifiable information of individual Users, with such partners in order to administer the co-branded products or services offered.
ONLINE SHOPPING. At some websites that you access through links on Homestead, you can purchase products and services or register to receive materials, such as a catalog or new product updates. In many cases, you may be asked to provide contact information, such as your name, address, email address, phone number, and credit/debit card information. If you complete an order for a Web site or service that is not provided by Homestead, Homestead has no control over the third parties' use of any personal information you provide when placing such an order and therefore we have no responsibility or liability for the manner in which the organizations that operate such linked websites may collect, use or disclose, secure and otherwise treat your personal information. Except as provided herein, we will not provide any of your personal information to these third parties without your consent. We provide links to these websites as a convenience to the User. Please exercise care when visiting linked websites. The linked websites have separate and independent privacy statements, notices and terms of use, which we recommend you read carefully. If you order products directly from Homestead, we will use the personal information you provide only to process that order. We do not share this information with outside parties except to the extent necessary to complete that order.
ONLINE ADVERTISEMENTS. Homestead does not share personally identifiable information about its individual Visitors or Users with advertisers. Homestead may display online advertisements and may share aggregated and non-identifying information about our Visitors and Users collected through the registration process, as well as through online surveys and promotions with these advertisers. Additionally, in some instances, we use this aggregated and non-identifying information to deliver tailored advertisements. For instance, an advertiser tells us the audience they want to reach (for example, males between 25 and 55 years of age) and provides us an advertisement tailored to the audience. Based upon the aggregated and non-identifying information we have collected, we may then display the advertisement to the intended audience.
RESPONSES TO EMAIL INQUIRIES. When Visitors or Users send email inquiries to Homestead, the return email address (and other personal information provided in the inquiry) is used to answer the email inquiry we receive. Homestead does not use the return email address for any other purpose and does not share the return email address with any third party.
VOLUNTARY CUSTOMER SURVEYS. We may periodically conduct both business and individual customer surveys. We encourage our Users to participate in these surveys because they provide us with important information that helps us to improve the types of services we offer and how we provide them to you. Your personal information and responses will remain strictly confidential, even if the survey is conducted by a third party. Participation in our customer surveys is voluntary. We take the information we receive from individuals responding to our Customer Surveys and combine (or aggregate) it with the responses of other Homestead Users to create broader, generic responses to the survey questions (such as gender, age, residence, hobbies, education, employment, industry sector, or other demographic information). We then use the aggregated information to improve the quality of our services to you, and to develop new services and products. This aggregated, non-personally identifying information, may be shared with third parties. Unless otherwise noted in the survey invitation or the survey itself, Users have the option of completing surveys anonymously or providing us with contact information. We may use the contact information to follow up with Users based on the answers they provide. We may also contact you to highlight the changes we have made in response to feedback.
SERVICE PROVIDERS. We may transfer (or otherwise make available) your personal information to our affiliates and other third parties who provide services on our behalf. For example, as discussed above, we may use service providers to authorize and process payments, administer surveys, and run our promotions. Your personal information may be maintained and processed by our affiliates and other third party service providers in the US or other jurisdictions. Our service providers are given the information they need to perform their designated functions, and we do not authorize them to use or disclose personal information for their own marketing or other purposes.
SALE OF BUSINESS. We may transfer your personal information as an asset in connection with a merger or sale (including transfers made as part of insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings) involving all or part of Homestead as part of a corporate reorganization or stock sale or other change in corporate control. Homestead may share personally identifiable information with other entities that are owned by Homestead or that own Homestead or that have some sort of corporate ownership relationship with Homestead.
SPECIAL CASES. It is Homestead's policy not to use or share the personal information about Visitors of Users in ways unrelated to the ones described above without your consent. However, Homestead, or our service providers, may disclose personal information about Visitors or Users, or information regarding your use of the Services or websites accessible through our Services, for any reason, in our sole discretion to comply with US, Canadian or other laws, such as the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, regulations, or governmental or legal requests or demands for such information; in response to a search warrant or other legally valid inquiry or order; to an investigative body in the case of a breach of an agreement or contravention of law; to disclose information that is necessary to identify, contact, or bring legal action against someone who, for example, may be violating our Acceptable Use Policy or other user policies; to operate the Services properly; to protect Homestead and our Users; or as otherwise permitted or required by law.

US antitrust is the devil
Fascinating insght into US antitrust thinking that is quite mind boggling. They actually believe that the antitrust case against Microsoft promoted Google Chrome and Firefox! This is a great example of reverse analysis thinking where the result rationalises the approach.
Microsoft Internet Explorer became huge because it was better and faster than Netscape. That was 1996. Time passes and IE became known as slow. Firefox emerged, followed by Chrome I see no connection to antitrust stuff here.
My Interview With Antitrust Expert Gary Reback: Google's Looming Antitrust Issues | TechCrunch
One interesting insight from the conversation: I ask Reback if he thinks we'd be in a better world if Microsoft had in fact been broken up into two or more companies as was originally ordered. His response – "no." The investigation and lawsuits themselves, he said, did enough to force Microsoft's hand and allow browsers like Firefox, Chrome and others to blossom.

She's played a Bond girl and a nymph who beguiled the gods, but someone out there thinks British actress Gemma Arterton might not be sexy enough for her role as the renamed Farah in next month's Prince of Persia movie.
Now I suppose that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but as far as this beholder is concerned Gemma Arterton is perfect for the role of Princess Tamina, the character that evolved from the prince's companion Farah from the Prince of Persia video games. So the fact that anyone would take the time out of their day to write her a letter telling her otherwise boggles my mind.
According to an interview in the May edition of Details magazine, someone did just that.
"I've gotten letters telling me I'm not right for the part because I don't look like the girl in the video game! She really is this sex goddess. They've got massively high standards."
Seriously? I understand how someone might not find her attractive. Again, different strokes for different folks, but if you're so wrapped up in a video game character that you feel the need to mail the actress playing her to let her know she isn't right for the role, you probably need to get out more.
I mean, look:
Writing a strongly-worded letter is not the correct response to seeing this image. Now the poor woman is nervous about attending Comic-Con! Thanks, you've ruined Comic-Con for everyone.

Proscia homers three times ... again
In his first at-bat, it worked: He walked.
"Let me tell you, a walk was fine with me," Proscia said. "It gave me the extra confidence it would be a pretty good night for me."
It ended up being a much better night than that.
The Mariners prospect homered in each of his next three at-bats and drove in four runs to lead the Class A Advanced Mavericks to a wild 15-13 victory over the visiting Stockton Ports.
It was the second time this season Proscia has gone deep three times in a game. He also did it on April 19 and is the first Minor Leaguer with a pair of three-homer games in the same season since Corey Dickerson accomplished the feat last year for Class A Asheville.
Both of Proscia's big games came at Mavericks Stadium, where winds constantly blow out and create prime slugging conditions. Not surprisingly, High Desert leads the California League with 125 homers, 29 more than any other team.
Winds were blowing out to left -- where Proscia sent all three of his homers -- at 20 mph at game time. But the New York native said the conditions didn't play too much of a factor.
"The first two were line drives, but the third was more of a fly ball," he said. "It was definitely pretty windy, but I really feel like I hit those first two on the screws."
Proscia has enjoyed much better splits at home than on the road this season. Thirteen of his 15 homers have come at Mavericks Stadium, where his .374 average is more than 100 points higher than his .269 road mark.
"I really enjoy playing here," said the University of Virginia product. "I feel like I just see the ball really well whenever we're here. I don't know if it's the batter's eye or if the lighting is just much better, but I pick up pitches better here.
"I don't try to do too much at home. I just come to the ballpark and feel comfortable, and that's something I try to do everywhere."
In the third inning, Proscia ripped a two-run homer off a changeup from Ports starter Jacob Brown. An inning later, he connected for a solo shot on a breaking ball from reliever A. J. Huttenlocker. And in the fifth, he deposited Huttenlocker's fastball over the left-field fence.
"Three different pitches," Proscia noted.
That was a particular point of pride because a May promotion to Double-A Jackson didn't go well. He hit .211 with four homers and nine RBIs in 21 Southern League games, primarily because of the 22-year-old third baseman's inability to pick up on the wide array of pitches he was seeing at his new level.
"Basically, they stressed working on pitch selection," Proscia said. "It's something I have to continue to work on, and I do work on quite a bit. They said once I got back down, it'd be a good opportunity to strengthen that part of my game."
So after going through some struggles at High Desert and Jackson, Proscia characterized his latest three-homer night as "definitely different from the first time." But that wasn't the only reason. After that night in April, his Mavericks teammates called him "Curtis" after Yankees All-Star Curtis Granderson, who'd homered three times earlier in the day. That wasn't the case Saturday.
"That's a funny story," Proscia said. "I'm still in one of my teammate's phonebooks as 'Curtis' because of that nickname. We were all just joking around then, but there were no nicknames this time. It was just me."
James Jones, Jack Marder and Dennis Raben also went deep for the Mavs, who have won five of their last six games after losing five straight.
Ports shortstop Michael Gilmartin went 4-for-4 with a pair of homers and five RBIs.

Eifman Ballet of St. Petersburg returns to City Center with the New York premiere of "Up and Down" on May 22 - 24, 2015
Boris Eifman is justly called a choreographer-philosopher. However, a much more subtle definition that accurately captures the aesthetic individuality of the Maestro would be a choreographer-psychoanalyst. Rightly believing that ballet tools open truly unlimited research opportunities before a dance creator, Eifman plunges into the unknown depths of his characters inner worlds and penetrates into the most hidden places of the subconscious.
The quintessence of the choreographers psychoanalytic research has become the ballet Up & Down. The semantic space of the performance encompassed between two oppositely directed vectors of the plot (the degradation of the talented young doctor and the ascension of his wife and patient), is turned into a field for surrealistic experiments. With the help of the original plastic vocabulary Eifman depicts the disintegration of characters consciousness, bringing their nightmares and delusions to the surface. The choreographer emphasizes rather ironically: the ballet Up & Down is not just a full point but a blot in his many years of psychiatric ballet epic.
The characters ups and downs take place in the magnificent Jazz Age the unstoppable feast of life; the era of freedom, sensuality, and hedonism, masterfully recreated by Boris Eifman and his dancers.

Chris Brown on Rihanna -- 'I'm forgiven'
Chris Brown has publicly acknowledged for the first time being back together with Rihanna and expressed regret for the infamous 2009 assault on his pop star girlfriend, according to the New York Daily News.
Brown, 23, told the U.K.'s Mirror his assault on Rihanna on the eve of the 2009 Grammys was his "deepest regret."
"Sometimes you row, you fight, with the one you love and things get said, stuff spirals," he said. "That night was the deepest regret of my life, the biggest mistake. But she loves me -- what can I say? I'm forgiven ... but, yes, I worked hard for it."
Rihanna recently told Rolling Stone magazine that her relationship with Brown is "different now. We don't have those types of arguments anymore."
Of course not. Or she wouldn't be alive right now.
Speaking at Elton John's Aids Foundation Oscars after-party Sunday night, Brown told the Mirror he has "grown up" and has learned how to deal with the criticism and backlash he has received.
"I was very young and I took a lot of stuff, fame, for granted," he said. "I didn't understand it. The support from those who do know me and the fans, who are incredible, got me through."
Brown dismissed a joke by Oscars host Seth MacFarlane, who referred to the ultraviolent film "Django Unchained" as "a date night for Brown and Rihanna."
"People attack me and criticize me," Brown said. "It happens all the time. But they don't know me, and they don't know us. It doesn't bother me anymore."
Of course not. Now he just brawls with Frank Ocean over parking spots.
"He's not the monster everyone thinks." Rihanna told Rolling Stone. "He's a good person. He's giving and loving. He's fun to be around and he has a fantastic heart."
He must.

50 arrested in prostitution sting in Prairie Village
Police, elected leaders decline comment
After the arrests of 50 people in Prairie Village on suspicion of prostitution last week, both police and the community's elected leaders aren't saying much about it.
The women and men were issued citations to appear on municipal charges of prostitution or soliciting a prostitute.
Diana Petersen said she's stunned that her neighborhood near 75th Street and Belinder Avenue was one of the targets for the operation.
"This is unbelievable for Prairie Village, and just a couple blocks over from me," she said. "You always think of it on the Missouri side (of the state line), but not in Prairie Village."
The three-day operation resulted in 50 arrests of people accused of selling sex and customers.
Police said Prairie Village doesn't have a prostitution problem. The city is just using proactive policing to prevent it, and has done similar stings before.
"I really have a hard time believing it," said resident Amber Sexton. "We have an image of not having very much crime, and being a safer place to live, but it kind of goes to show it can happen anywhere."
In prior years, arrests made during these types of stings helped to build federal child trafficking cases.
Police declined to discuss the case on camera. Prairie Village Councilwoman Laura Wassmer brought up the subject at Monday's city meeting, but opted not to speak with KMBC 9 News, saying it was "not newsworthy."

GENERIC NAME(S): Omeprazole-Sodium Bicarbonate
OTHER NAME(S): Omeppi Capsule
This medication is a combination of omeprazole and sodium bicarbonate. It is used to treat certain stomach and esophagus problems (such as acid reflux, ulcers). It is also used to prevent stomach bleeding in very ill patients.
Omeprazole works by decreasing the amount of acid your stomach makes. It belongs to a class of drugs known as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). Sodium bicarbonate is an antacid that reduces stomach acid and helps omeprazole to work better. This medication relieves symptoms such as heartburn, difficulty swallowing, and persistent cough. It helps heal acid damage to the stomach and esophagus, helps prevent ulcers, and may help prevent cancer of the esophagus.
If you are self-treating with this medication, over-the-counter omeprazole/sodium bicarbonate products are used to treat frequent heartburn (occurring 2 or more days a week). Since it may take 1 to 4 days to have full effect, these products do not relieve heartburn right away.
For over-the-counter products, carefully read the package instructions to make sure the product is right for you. Check the ingredients on the label even if you have used the product before. The manufacturer may have changed the ingredients. Also, products with similar brand names may contain different ingredients meant for different purposes. Taking the wrong product could harm you.
How to use Omeppi
Read the Medication Guide provided by your pharmacist before you start taking this medication and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
Take this medication by mouth as directed by your doctor, usually once daily on an empty stomach, at least 1 hour before a meal. The powder form of this medication may also be given through a tube into the stomach (nasogastric or gastric tube). If you are self-treating, follow all directions on the product package. Dosage and length of treatment are based on your medical condition and response to treatment. In children, the dosage is also based on weight. Do not increase your dose or take this drug more often than directed. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
If you are taking the capsule, swallow it whole with a full glass of water (8 ounces or 240 milliliters). Do not use other liquids. Do not open the capsule or sprinkle the contents into food.
If you are using the powder packet, empty the contents into a small cup with 1 to 2 tablespoons (15 to 30 milliliters) of water. Do not use any other liquids or foods. Stir well and drink the entire mixture right away. To make sure you take the entire dose, add more water to the cup and drink all of it.
If you are giving the powder through a nasogastric or gastric tube, ask your health care professional for detailed instructions on how to properly mix and give it. For patients receiving continuous tube feedings, the tube feeding should be stopped for 3 hours before and 1 hour after giving this medication.
Do not substitute the capsules or the powder packets for each other, unless approved by your doctor, because they contain different amounts of sodium bicarbonate. Also, do not substitute one strength of the same dosage form for another strength (such as taking two 20-milligram capsules instead of one 40-milligram capsule). Doing so may give you too much sodium bicarbonate and increase your risk of side effects (such as swelling of the hands/feet).
If you are also taking sucralfate, take this medication at least 30 minutes before sucralfate.
Use this medication regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, take it at the same time each day. Continue to take this medication for the prescribed length of treatment even if you are feeling better. If you are self-treating with the over-the-counter product, do not take it for more than 14 days unless directed by your doctor.
Tell your doctor if your condition persists or worsens. If you are self-treating, tell your doctor if your heartburn persists after 14 days or if you need to use this medication more than once every 4 months. The risk of side effects goes up over time. Ask your doctor how long you should take this medication. If you think you may have a serious medical problem, get medical help right away.
Side Effects
See also Precautions section.
Headache or abdominal pain may occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
If your doctor has directed you to use this product, remember that he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.
Tell your doctor right away if any of these unlikely but serious side effects occur: swelling of the hands/feet, symptoms of a low magnesium blood level (such as unusually fast/slow/irregular heartbeat, persistent muscle spasms, seizures), sudden weight gain, signs of lupus (such as rash on nose and cheeks, new or worsening joint pain).
When taken with sodium bicarbonate, large doses of calcium from your diet, medications, or supplements can rarely cause a serious problem called milk-alkali syndrome. Ask your doctor or pharmacist about using calcium products safely while you are using this medication. Tell your doctor right away if any of these rare but serious side effects occur: dizziness, muscle aches/spasms, mental/mood changes (such as confusion, irritability, memory problems), vomiting, weakness.
This medication may rarely cause a severe intestinal condition (Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea) due to a type of bacteria. Do not use anti-diarrhea or opioid medications if you have any of the following symptoms because these products may make them worse. Tell your doctor right away if you develop: persistent diarrhea, abdominal or stomach pain/cramping, fever, blood/mucus in your stool.
Rarely, proton pump inhibitors (such as omeprazole) have caused vitamin B-12 deficiency. The risk is increased if they are taken every day for a long time (3 years or longer). Tell your doctor right away if you develop symptoms of vitamin B-12 deficiency (such as unusual weakness, sore tongue, or numbness/tingling of the hands/feet).
A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, get medical help right away if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing, signs of kidney problems (such as change in the amount of urine).
This is not a complete list of possible side effects. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.

Before having surgery, tell your doctor or dentist about all the products you use (including prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and herbal products).
Proton pump inhibitors (such as omeprazole) may increase your risk for bone fractures, especially with longer use, higher doses, and in older adults. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about ways to prevent bone loss/fracture, such as by taking calcium (such as calcium citrate) and vitamin D supplements.
Older adults may be more sensitive to the side effects of this drug, especially bone loss and fractures (see above), and Clostridium difficile infection (see Side Effects section).
Children may be more sensitive to the side effects of omeprazole, especially fever, cough, and infections of the nose/throat/airways.
During pregnancy, this medication should be used only when clearly needed. Discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor.
This medication passes into breast milk. The effects on a nursing infant are unknown. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.

Some products that may interact with this drug include: cilostazol, clopidogrel, memantine, methotrexate (especially high-dose treatment), rifampin, St John's wort.
Some products need stomach acid so that the body can absorb them properly. Omeprazole/sodium bicarbonate decreases stomach acid, so it may change how well these products work. Some affected products include atazanavir, erlotinib, nelfinavir, pazopanib, rilpivirine, certain azole antifungals (itraconazole, ketoconazole, posaconazole), among others.
Omeprazole is very similar to esomeprazole. Do not use any medications containing esomeprazole while using omeprazole.
This medication may interfere with certain laboratory tests, possibly causing false test results. Make sure laboratory personnel and all your doctors know you use this drug.

'The Invitation'
Release Date: April 8, 2016
Director: Karyn Kusama
Starring: Logan Marshall-Green, Tammy Blanchard and Michiel Huisman
Genre: Drama, Mystery, Thriller, Horror
Rating: Not Rated
Grade: B+
In "The Invitation," Will (Logan Marshall-Green) and his girlfriend Kira (Emayatzy Corinealdi) drive deep into the Hollywood Hills to attend a dinner party hosted by Will's ex-wife Eden (Tammy Blanchard) and her new husband David (Michiel Huisman) at the house Will and Eden used to share. The party is the first time any of their friends have seen them in two years — Will and Eden divorced following the accidental death of their son, and Eden left to join a grief support group in Mexico, where she met David. Throughout the course of the evening, Will becomes increasingly disturbed being back in the house he once shared with a happy family that is no more, and he also begins to grow suspicious of Eden and David, who try to share with the group their new spiritual philosophies that have helped them overcome grief. I like how "The Invitation" slowly turns up the suspense and leaves the audience unsure if there is really something sinister behind Eden's cultish white dress and David's calm demeanor, or if it's just Will suffering from a mental breakdown when confronted with his past. It's sufficiently creepy and even a bit thoughtful. All-in-all, "The Invitation" is a pretty good thriller.
'The Neon Demon'
Release Date: June 24, 2016
Director: Nicolas Winding Refn
Starring: Elle Fanning, Jena Malone and Bella Heathcote
Genre: Horror, Thriller
Rating: R for disturbing violent content, bloody images, graphic nudity, a scene of aberrant sexuality, and language.
Grade: B
"The Neon Demon" is the most talked-about and most polarizing horror movie of the year. For the most part, I really liked it. Kind of a tired story: Jesse (Elle Fanning) is a young girl from a small town hoping to make it big as a model in Hollywood, but Hollywood is, unfortunately, full of Illuminati and lesbian necrophiliacs. It's a higher budget version of 2014's "Starry Eyes," which is a much better film, plot-wise. But don't come to "The Neon Demon" for the plot: come for the artistic visuals, evil female leads and the always excellent Jena Malone who steals the show as Jesse's eerily too nice, there's-gotta-be-something-wrong-with-her mentor Ruby. My main issue with "The Neon Demon" is the weird casting of Elle Fanning as the lead — she's not charismatic enough to propel the movie on her own, and she's cute, but the very embodiment of natural beauty? Eh. At least the costumes are fabulous.
'Train to Busan'
Release Date: July 20, 2016
Director: Yeon Sang-ho
Starring: Gong Yoo, Kim Su-an and Jung Yu-mi
Genre: Action, Drama, Horror
Rating: Not Rated
Grade: A+
"Train to Busan" is one of the best zombie movies I've seen in a long while. The Korean horror film expertly showcases comedic moments, high tension, family drama, romance and truly frightening zombie shots. It's an excellent movie and one of the best horror films of the year. The story follows Seok-woo (Gong Yoo), an absentee father whose focus on his business has crippled his relationship with his 9-year-old daughter Su-an (Kim Su-an). For her birthday, all Su-an wants is to be reunited with her estranged mother, so Seok-woo begrudgingly agrees to accompany her on the high-speed KTX ride from Seoul to Busan. Unfortunately, the train departs just as the country begins to deteriorate into a zombie apocalypse. Only Busan, the country's southern port city, is safe, and the survivors must fight to get the train to its final destination. The intense zombie action scenes are top tier (my favorite is a stop in Daejeon where the passengers are faced with a horde of zombie soldiers in military uniform charging up the stairs), but where "Train to Busan" really got me is with its heart. The evolving father-daughter dynamic will suck you in, and the supporting characters are all so compelling. "Train to Busan" is not to be missed.
Release Date: Sept. 16, 2016
Director: Rob Zombie
Starring: Sheri Moon Zombie, Malcolm McDowell and Meg Foster
Genre: Thriller, Horror
Rating: R for strong bloody horror violence, pervasive language, sexual content and drug use.
Grade: B-
As a diehard Rob Zombie fan, I enjoyed "31" and was pleased to find it more straightforward and accessible than Zombie's last release, 2012's "The Lords of Salem." "31" follows a group of carnival workers who are kidnapped on Halloween 1976 and told by three strangers that they will be entered into a game called 31. During the game, they will have 12 hours to escape from a maze-like warehouse of rooms while various clowns will be sent to torture and kill them. The plot isn't necessarily anything groundbreaking, but Zombie's characterizations are always the most entertaining. His villains are excellent, particularly Malcolm McDowell as Father Murder, an aristocrat in a powdered wig who oversees the proceedings and announces the carnies' odds for survival over a loudspeaker, and Richard Brake as Doom-Head, the final and most effective obstacle in the gang's way of survival. As always, Sheri Moon Zombie is a badass and a delight, and I love that she's still the ultimate scream queen, wielding chainsaws in barely-there crop tops at 46.

I ordered both high and lower beam lights for my 2006 Audi A6.They take a lot of time to install in an Audi. I was happy at first, but after about 3 months one of the low beam blubs failed. I am very careful not touching the blubs so tht was not the problem. I call autoanything and they said they would contact the vendor, but got no response from them. autoanything made it right and sent me an extra set of blubs.
