Q: Not able to search elasticsearch document I am newbie at elasticsearch. Using  elasticsearch 7.8.1 for some custom search for my application.
Here is the sample dataset.
The search that need to happen is something like this:
select * from maintenance_logs
where vinNumber = "xyz"
and organizationId = 1
and dtcCode like %p101%
or subSystem like %p101%
or description like %p101%;
Here is the document stored:
GET /maintenance_logs/_search

{
  "took" : 0,
  "timed_out" : false,
  "_shards" : {
    "total" : 1,
    "successful" : 1,
    "skipped" : 0,
    "failed" : 0
  },
  "hits" : {
    "total" : {
      "value" : 2,
      "relation" : "eq"
    },
    "max_score" : 1.0,
    "hits" : [
      {
        "_index" : "maintenance_logs",
        "_type" : "_doc",
        "_id" : "41a47230-02d1-11ed-a8f8-813988188fd2",
        "_score" : 1.0,
        "_source" : {
          "_class" : "com.domain.search.MaintenanceLog",
          "id" : "41a47230-02d1-11ed-a8f8-813988188fd2",
          "maintenanceActivity" : "test103",
          "vinNumber" : "DH34ASD7SDFF84742",
          "organizationId" : 1,
          "partitionYear" : "2022",
          "dtcCode" : "",
          "subSystem" : "",
          "description" : "",
          "odometer" : 91000,
          "statsDate" : "2022-07-13"
        }
      },
      {
        "_index" : "maintenance_logs",
        "_type" : "_doc",
        "_id" : "5fac7720-033d-11ed-97e1-a3441dab3d6a",
        "_score" : 1.0,
        "_source" : {
          "_class" : "com.search.MaintenanceLog",
          "id" : "5fac7720-033d-11ed-97e1-a3441dab3d6a",
          "maintenanceActivity" : "test103",
          "vinNumber" : "DH34ASD7SDFF84742",
          "organizationId" : 1,
          "partitionYear" : "2022",
          "dtcCode" : "D101",
          "subSystem" : "ac vent",
          "description" : "ac vent replaced",
          "odometer" : 91000,
          "statsDate" : "2022-07-14"
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}

This is how my Document looks:
@Document(indexName = "maintenance_logs", createIndex = true)
public class MaintenanceLog {

    @Id
    private String id;

    private String maintenanceActivity;

    private String vinNumber;

    private Integer organizationId;

    private String partitionYear;

    private String dtcCode;

    private String subSystem;

    private String description;

    private Integer odometer;
}

Here is my query: The intention is, I have a search bar where lets say I typed p101. Then it should look through all the documents.
do exact match on vin_number and organizatinid, and then whatever matches (partial match eg mysql like query) from any one of these attributes dtcCode or subSystem or maintenanceActivity or description.
GET /maintenance_logs/_search
{
  "query": {
    "bool" : {
      "must" : [
        { "term" : { "vinNumber" : "DH34ASD7SDFF84742" } },
        { "term" : { "organizationId" : 1 } }
      ],
      "should" : [
        { "term" : { "dtcCode": "p101*" } },
        { "term" : { "subSystem" : "p101*" }},
        { "term" : { "maintenanceActivity" : "p101*" }},
        { "term" : { "description" : "p101*" }}
      ],
      "minimum_should_match" : 1,
      "boost" : 1.0
    }
  }
}

A: Term queries are used for exact text matching. If you need to do the partial search you can either use Wildcard Query, Regexp Query or Query String
If you are using the default mapping then you need to modify your query as :
{
    "query": {
        "bool": {
            "must": [
                {
                    "term": {
                        "vinNumber.keyword": "DH34ASD7SDFF84742"
                    }
                },
                {
                    "term": {
                        "organizationId": 1
                    }
                }
            ],
            "should": [
                {
                    "query_string": {
                        "query": "*p101*",
                        "fields": [
                            "dtcCode"
                        ]
                    }
                },
                {
                    "query_string": {
                        "query": "*p101*",
                        "fields": [
                            "subSystem"
                        ]
                    }
                },
                {
                    "query_string": {
                        "query": "*p101*",
                        "fields": [
                            "maintenanceActivity"
                        ]
                    }
                },
                {
                    "query_string": {
                        "query": "*p101*",
                        "fields": [
                            "description"
                        ]
                    }
                }
            ],
            "minimum_should_match": 1
        }
    }
}

Note :
If you need to perform a partial search in such a way that, the text matches from the beginning of the value of the fields dtcCode,subSystem, etc. then you can simply go with Prefix Query as well.

A: You have two issues with your query:
One is you are using term query instead of wildcard query  pattern.
Second is you are trying term query  text type of field for vinNumber field.
To resolve this issue, You need to use wildcard query instead of term query and you need to use vinNumber.keyword insted of vinNumber (considering you are using multi type field for vinNumber as text and keyword both). Please check below query:
{
  "query": {
    "bool": {
      "must": [
        {
          "term": {
            "vinNumber.keyword": "DH34ASD7SDFF84742"
          }
        },
        {
          "term": {
            "organizationId": 1
          }
        }
      ],
      "minimum_should_match": 1,
      "should": [
        {
          "wildcard": {
            "dtcCode": {
              "value": "d10*"
            }
          }
        },
        {
          "wildcard": {
            "subSystem": {
              "value": "p101*"
            }
          }
        },
        {
          "wildcard": {
            "maintenanceActivity": {
              "value": "p101*"
            }
          }
        },
        {
          "wildcard": {
            "description": {
              "value": "p101*"
            }
          }
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

Also, you need to set "minimum_should_match": 1 as your query have AND condition with vinNumberand organizationId.


The former Royal Garrison pub in Preston could be transformed into eight apartments.
Design plans for the vacant public house, hotel and office at 191 and 193 Watling Street Road show how applicant Ali Shan will convert the spaces into two dwellings with eight flats.
Planning documents state: "This proposal is for the conversion of mixed-use business property into two dwellings.
"Both dwellings consist of a large accommodation.
"The proposal will refurbish both flats which are currently in a state of complete repair.
"Entrance to both dwellings is separate.
In the past the ground floor at 191 Watling Street Road had been used as a bar area with the first and second floors used as offices.
The main entrance at 193 Watling Street Road was shared with the pub entrance while the first and second floor had been used as a hotel with an external metal staircase providing access to the first floor from a rear parking area.
The Victorian four-storey building, which include cellar rooms, are located within the Fulwood Conservation Area.
There are car parking spaces for 19 vehicles towards the back.


Generally, there are two types of public property auctions taking place in Malaysia, and anyone who intends to bid at a public auction should know what additional costs he may have to incur, over and above the purchase price.
The first type is regulated by the National Land Code (NLC). This will apply to a property with title and charged to a bank. When the borrower defaults in his repayment to the bank, the bank will apply to the High Court (land registry title) or the Land Administrator (land office title) for an order to sell the property by way of a public auction. This first type is often referred to as a judicial auction.
In a judicial auction certain statutory requirements under the NLC relating to, the reserve price, conditions of sale, mode of payment, service on owner and public advertisement of the sale, must be complied with by the bank, before and after an order for sale is made. The NLC regulates the application of the purchase money arising from any sale in a judicial auction, in particular, requiring that the quit rent payable to the State and outgoings payable to the local authority, be paid from the purchase money. An owner of the property or the purchaser in a judicial auction, who suffers any loss or damage by reason of any act, omission, neglect, error or default arising from these statutory requirements, is entitled to compensation.
The second type is not regulated by any legislation and applies to a property for which no title has been issued. This is usually the case for flats, apartments or condominiums. Since there is no title, no charge can be created under the NLC. As security for a loan, the purchaser/borrower will absolutely assign the rights over the property to the bank. When he defaults in his repayment, the bank is contractually entitled to sell the property by way of a public auction, without having to apply for an order for sale. This second type is often referred to as a non-judicial auction.
This article will focus on the pitfalls that may be faced by a successful bidder in a non-judicial auction (the purchaser), as the minimum statutory provisions regulating a judicial auction do not apply to a non-judicial auction. The bank determines the reserve price and appoints a licensed auctioneer who will issue a Proclamation of Sale. The auction will be held under the auspices of the bank's solicitors and the auctioneer. Everything will be contractual and understanding such contractual obligations and liabilities of the purchaser is of paramount importance.
The first thing an intending bidder at a non-judicial auction needs to do is to get his hands on a copy of the Proclamation and Conditions of Sale (the Proclamation). There will be a fine print that says something like "intending bidders are advised to inspect the property, seek legal advice, conduct a land search and make enquiries with the developer of the property on the terms of its consent to the sale." Herein lies the main problem, as most intending bidders do not bother to do so, until after they have successfully bid for the property.
The purchaser is usually required to pay 10% of the purchase price immediately after the fall of the hammer. Some Proclamations stipulate 90 days for payment of the balance, others stipulate 120 days. Some Proclamations also state that no extension of time will be allowed, others will say that extension may be granted at the absolute discretion of the bank, and if so granted will be subject to payment of interest.
In a case of property without title, 90 or 120 days is usually sufficient time if the purchaser is paying in cash. If a loan is required, the 90 or 120 days may not be sufficient, as the conveyancing procedure is extremely cumbersome, with lots of exchange of undertakings. If the property is a low cost flat, 120 days is definitely insufficient, as the purchaser will be required to apply for consent of the appropriate authority, which usually takes more than 90 days to be obtained. Having to pay interest for an extension will be an additional cost.
Since the title has not been issued, the developer's consent is important so that when the title is finally issued, the developer will know who should receive the transfer. Nearly all Proclamations stipulate that it is the purchaser's responsibility to obtain the developer's consent and to pay any fee charged by the developer. In some cases, the developer may appoint a solicitor to handle the consent, and the purchaser may be liable to pay the said solicitor's fees. Such fees will be an additional cost.
Developers do not usually grant its consent unless all outstanding service charges are settled. Some Proclamations are quite fair in that any arrears of service charges, quit rent and assessment up to the date of sale shall be paid out of the purchase money. Many Proclamations stipulate that arrears of service charges and utilities bills (water, electricity and sewerage) shall be borne by the purchaser. In one case, a purchaser successfully bid for a property at RM128,000, and outstanding service charges was about RM40,000. These outgoings will be an additional cost.
When the balance purchase price is paid, the bank will sign a deed of assignment in favour of the purchaser. Most Proclamations will require the purchaser to pay the fees of the bank's solicitors for vetting or preparing the assignment and this will be another additional cost.
Most important of all, a bidder really needs to know whether the property is vacant or occupied. Nearly all Proclamations stipulate that the bank has no obligation to give vacant possession and that the Purchaser shall take possession at his own cost. In many cases, a bidder would not be able to inspect the property as the main door would be locked. The auctioneer will say he does not have the key. Everyone assumes that the property is vacant. After payment of the balance price, the purchaser will need to break the lock or maybe also the door. Once inside the property, he may find that someone is occupying it as a tenant. Having to pay for a new lock or a new door or several other locks and doors, and having to initiate eviction proceedings to obtain possession from the occupant, can be a very substantial additional cost.
These are some of the more important things which an intending bidder ought to look out for. If in doubt it is always prudent to consult a solicitor before you make a bid.

Q: Running Apple DocC as a Apple Help Book file With the introduction of DocC for generating documentation from source code, is it possible to take the output of DocC and use it as the source of truth for an Apple Help Book (for use inside of a macOS App)?

*

*DocC Introduction: https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2021/10166/

*Apple Help Book for Mac Apps: https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/Carbon/Conceptual/ProvidingUserAssitAppleHelp/authoring_help/authoring_help_book.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP30000903-CH206-CIHEHEAC

A: Probably not. They are completely different animals. A help book is a complete web site with some help for certain kinds of anchors. A DocC is a highly restricted, formalized representation of a very specific type of information. Indeed, even if you meld the two things, you would not want to; a help book helps users, whereas DocC displays a programming API to a programmer.
Just as an example, here is a help book I wrote:
http://www.apeth.com/sd5help/index.html
You couldn't possibly express that using DocC. If the problem is that you're looking for a tool to help you write help books, DocC is not it.

A:
Is it possible to take the output of DocC and use it as the source of truth for an Apple Help Book?

*

*Yes, but likely not worth it.

@matt mentioned:

A DocC is a highly restricted, formalized representation of a very specific type of information.

However I disagree with it. You can create article pages with DocC: Getting Started with Sloths

The problems with using DocC to create Apple Help Book:

*

*DocC documentation only support basic markdown syntax, so your formatting option is limited.

*DocC exports the documentation as a single page web app, where Apple Help Book expect individual html files for each help pages. So you would need to automatically generate static html files.

*DocC documentation doesn't let you add custom meta tags for indexing or keywords and name for anchors. (Maybe you can use comments in markdown, then automatically generate them from comments. However I'm not sure if comments in markdown would remain in DocC generated file)

*You would still need to use Help Indexer to index them.

@matt mentioned:

A help book helps users, whereas DocC displays a programming API to a programmer.

You can definitely meld the two and use DocC generated files as your source of truth, but I would rather do it with other html editors, or a better markdown editor if you prefer the markdown syntax.

Review: Mark Morris Dance Group - Prog A - Sadler's Wells
Performance: 27, 29 Nov & 1 Dec 2013
Reviewed by Graham Watts - Thursday 28 November 2013
Programme A: The Muir/Crosswalk/Socrates
Performance reviewed: 27 November
The unveiling of seven recent works not seen in London before by one of the biggest names in contemporary dance is a big deal. Mark Morris has a prolific output – with more than 150 creations to his name – and he nips back and forth across artistic boundaries with such regularity that, in his world, they have become permanently transcended. He conducts orchestras, directs operas and choreographs dance. In the second half of this programme, Morris combines a straight musical performance of Eric Satie's symphonic drama, Socrate with his own choreography in Socrates. Made across a divide of almost a century, music and movement co-exist with a homogenous artistic integrity.
The inherent musicality of both the choreography and these excellent dancers is absolute, colouring all three works in this first of two consecutive programmes. Firstly in The Muir, visualising a selection of Celtic folk songs, as arranged by Beethoven, through Fantasia-style sketches, both literal in one sense and liberal in another. The song lyrics are partially enacted in the relationships between dancers- cute, funny and sad – as if these really are the romantic dalliances of young villagers after the Ceilidh in Innisfree or Brigadoon. But above any implied narrative their movement flows freely, scythed into the music like a seal pressed into molten wax. It's the music that moves these Morris dancers and he conducts every body's action as he might instruct instruments in an orchestra. This impression is even greater in Crosstalk, where the dancers waft as if notes on a musical stave, stepping laterally back and forth across the stage in repetitive movements, often as part of a lined formation. They float like ribbons or dart like zip fasteners, opening and closing as if pulled by a giant invisible hand.
While these pretty pieces are sizable and appetising hors d'oeuvres, the main event was Socrates, which had the rare distinction of being a danced work with surtitles, since the French words of Satie's song (essentially lyrics taken from Plato) were translated into scrolling graphics above the proscenium. It was the only thing I didn't like and sitting in the fifth row of the stalls presented the dilemma of looking up to see electronic dots flash by or giving an undivided attention to the sublime events unfolding on the stage. It was easy to choose the latter, since to do both simultaneously was impossible, although the temptation to look up was occasionally irresistible.
Morris makes the story of Socrates appear joyful. His dancers are unlike the usual standardised dance ensembles, giving the appearance of a group of everyday college kids who just happen to be able to dance magnificently. Despite the work being presented in the same tripartite structure of Socrate, representing a Portrait of Socrates , On the Banks of the Ilissius and the Death of Socrates , Morris's choreography focuses on creating an overarching flavour of Athenian virtues at the beginnings of its Golden Age, emphasising the philosopher's nobility under the greatest of duress. It starts with a single citizen but the stage is quickly filled by the whole fifteen-strong ensemble. Their formations echo the shapes and imagery of ancient Greek architecture, here the triangle of a pediment or there a painted frieze on a temple wall. It is all very sensitively done and sometimes way too subtle for me.
No one dancer portrays Socrates' death (when he accepts the punishment of drinking hemlock instead of taking an opportunity to escape) but the group progressively act out the slow onset of coldness from foot to calf, to heart until all but one of them lays down to die. It is superbly – and hypnotically – achieved. The marathon of song by tenor, Zach Finkelstien (accompanied on piano by Colin Fowler) provided a continuing metaphor for Socrates' enigmatic nobility. Morris is one of few choreographers who can get away with repeating a simple disco step forward and back with alternate legs, accompanied by a clicking finger motion, in a dance that illustrates a slow execution by poisoning. The addition of such simple everyday actions into an otherwise sophisticated cocktail of movement is what gives his choreography that unmistakeable zing.

Jamie Dimon Sees 'Huge Pressure' on Wages for First Time in His Life
Duane | January 11, 2022 | Finance | No Comments
(Bloomberg) — Sign up for the New Economy Daily newsletter, follow us @economics and subscribe to our podcast.
Most Read from Bloomberg
Jamie Dimon said that, for the first time in his life, there's "huge pressure" on the U.S. labor market.
"The price of labor's going up, we're going to have to deal with it," the JPMorgan Chase & Co. chief executive officer said in an interview on Fox Business that aired Tuesday.
Still, Dimon said the situation isn't as bad as other potential economic scenarios. "It's much worse to complain about 15% unemployment and a recession than it is to complain about wages going up too fast," he said.
Average hourly earnings rose more than economists expected in December, matching the largest advance since April and indicating employers' willingness to pay more to attract and retain workers.
Wall Street has been grappling with a surge in turnover in recent months, resulting in firms including JPMorgan paying more for talent from junior bankers to the C-suite. JPMorgan warned in October that compensation costs may rise in 2022.

In the wide-ranging interview, Dimon also said he expects banks will report loan growth numbers that are better now than they were a quarter ago, ahead of the firm's fourth-quarter earnings report on Friday. Loan growth has been elusive all year as consumers and companies, flush with stimulus cash, held off on borrowing more.
"Loan growth on the business side will probably return to normal," Dimon said. "On the consumer side it will return to normal, it may just take another six or nine months."
Also in Dimon's comments:
The digital bank JPMorgan launched last year in the U.K. is "doing great," Dimon said. Over time, the firm may add products, services and countries, he said, adding that JPMorgan may go into mortgages or small-business lending in the U.K.
On China, Dimon said that "if you're doing business in China, yes the risk went up," but JPMorgan is "just going to have to navigate around that."
Dimon sees a lot of volatility in the market this year with interest rates likely going up. But he said "you're going to probably have a pretty strong economy, which is maybe more important for most Americans."

Joyce and Paul Lim first opened the doors to Twisted Donuts & Coffee in August 2014. For this wife-and-husband team based out of San Francisco, it was a dream come true. Paul grew up around the donut business, since his dad ran his own donut shop in Southern California for over 20 years. Paul often helped out at the shop as a boy, and hoped to start his own business one day. After Joyce and Paul settled down in the Bay Area, the pair decided to open up their very own donut shop - but with a twist to the traditional treat. And hence the name, Twisted Donuts & Coffee, which debuted in the San Francisco Sunset District on August 26, 2014.
On the weekdays, Joyce and Paul feature the classic donuts, which are near and dear to Paul's heart. But on the weekends, things get a little crazy at the donut shop, with specialty donuts including the Nutty Monkey, Berry Crunchy, Baconpeno, S'Mores Galore, PB & J, Lemon Berry, Fruirrito, Pumpkin Fritters, Milky Way Under A-Salt, just to name a few!
Joyce and Paul are just a pair of donut lovers, hoping to share their passion and bring something unique and fun to their neighborhood. Besides donuts, they also love their friendly customers - come by, say hello, and enjoy a delicious treat!

Where Has Venture Capital Gone?
Guy Kawasaki has been on the cutting edge of entrepreneurship for a quarter century. Formerly an Apple Fellow at Apple Computer, he is currently a managing director of Garage Technology Ventures; co-founder of Alltop, an "online magazine rack" of popular topics; and a columnist for Entrepreneur Magazine. His latest book, Reality Check, is an all-in-one guide for starting and operating great organizations.
(I think he has 8 books out now and Garage Technology was one of the leading VC firm for modern Venter Capital today - especially for tech).
Q: How has the credit crisis affected venture capital?
A: The credit crisis has put much of the venture capital business in a deep funk. Most investors don't feel like "spending money" because of the recession and lack of liquidity options. Some of this reasoning is simply flawed; the lack of IPOs and acquisitions are irrelevant for a company that's just starting. This part is "mental."
It's true that companies and people are buying less, so start-ups will take longer to achieve significant revenue. But, start-ups are always late anyway. Venture capitalists are finding it harder to raise new funds because the portfolios of many limited partners, pension funds, foundations, etc. are down, so they are less likely to invest too.
Q: What are venture capitalists looking for today?
A: Most venture capitalists say they are looking for a great team, but you only really "know" you invested in a great team after the company succeeds. Most investments fail. However, at the time of the investment, it's not like the venture capitalist thought the team was lousy and invested anyway.
My theory is that you invest in people who are creating the product that they want to use and hope that there are many others like them. This is what Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak did when they created Apple.
Q: In your book, Reality Check, you suggest that entrepreneurs take a "public relations approach" to get investors' attention? How does this differ from an "advertising" approach?
A: The "public relations" approach means that other people are telling the investors about you. For example, your corporate finance attorney who's done many deals with the venture capitalist calls her to tell her that, "this is the best idea I've seen since Google." Or, Stanford computer science professors tells his venture capitalist buddies that this student team makes the Google founders look like dummies.
The "advertising approach" means that the entrepreneur has to do the bragging. That's not nearly as effective because every entrepreneur says the same things: "We're a proven team who are the only people who can do this."
Q: If an entrepreneur elects to pursue angel capital, what should he or she do in order to make a winning case?
A: They should act like they are pitching to a venture capitalist and not think angels are "easy marks." Many entrepreneurs don't take them seriously enough. They should always pitch at the highest, most professional level possible. It would be ideal to show up with a prototype and growing business.
However, this is often unrealistic for angel investments. You generally seek much less money from angels than entrepreneurs. The key is to understand that angels like to invest in sectors they understand because of their work background, and in people whose company they enjoy.
Q: What if you need more money-can you ask the existing investors, or do you have to find new investors?
A: Both, actually. The existing investors like to know that new investors are also smitten with the idea. This will make them want to double down. New investors like to know that the old investors still believe in the company and want to stay in the game-if not increase their share.

Emotional self-awareness involves identifying and understanding one's emotions – including "big feelings" that can sometimes overwhelm us. As Fred Rogers reminds us: "When we can talk about our feelings, they become less overwhelming, less upsetting, and less scary." Two-year-olds can learn the names of core emotions: happy, sad, scared, and excited. Naming emotions empowers toddlers and helps them understand what's going on inside their mind and body.
Help your child develop the skills necessary to navigate these strong feelings.
Two-year-olds are still developing their expressive language skills.
"Look at your smile! You are happy that you got to pet that soft, cute puppy."
You can turn emotional vocabulary building into a game.
You can turn emotional vocabulary building into a game. Take turns choosing a "feeling" word and then express it through exaggerated facial expressions and body language. Start with simple words like "happy" (big smiles, waving hands) and "sad" (frowning face, drooping shoulders). Let them look in the mirror or take a picture on your phone so they can see what they look like. As kids get the hang of it, add more complex words such as "excited," "surprised" and "frustrated."

The period immediately after the birth of your baby and up to about six weeks later is defined as the postpartum period. This period is critical for the mother because bodily changes that occurred during nine months of pregnancy now have to revert to a non-pregnant body. During this critical period, many health issues may arise. You may have heard of postpartum depression which is gaining exposure recently as many celebrities are admitting to experiencing this condition.
The butterfly-shaped, thyroid gland is located on the front and at the base of the neck. This gland produces hormones crucial for the control of numerous bodily functions like heart rate and body temperature. Postpartum thyroiditis occurs when the thyroid gland becomes inflamed within the first year after giving birth. The inflammation can last for weeks or months and in many cases, it is able to resolve spontaneously. However, some women may have permanent problems.
The precise reason why this condition develops is not very clear. It is believed that women who get this disease have an existing autoimmune thyroid disorder which flares up when the body re-adjusts the immune levels after childbirth. Your immune system sees these changes as unhealthy and may attack and destroy some cells in the thyroid gland.
The condition can initially result in an overactive thyroid which then develops over time to an underactive gland. In many women, there are no obvious symptoms. Although you may get confused, there are signs that you can watch out for.
If you experience any of the above symptoms, schedule an appointment with your doctor and you may be referred to an endocrinologist (doctor specialized in hormonal problems). Also see your doctor if you suspect that you are experiencing postpartum depression because preliminary research has shown a link between postpartum depression and postpartum thyroiditis.
Are your symptoms mild or relatively severe?
Do you have any family history of thyroid issues?
After the preliminary examination, the doctor will most likely confirm the diagnosis of postpartum thyroiditis with some blood tests. These tests will measure the levels of hormones in your blood, namely thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and thyroxin. If abnormal levels are detected, these tests will be repeated periodically.
Your doctor may also require a thyroid scan. You will be given a contrast dye and a special machine that takes pictures of your thyroid gland.
Depending on whether you have an under/overactive thyroid gland, you will be given medicines that will either raise your thyroid hormone levels or decrease it.
Radioactive iodine may be given to destroy some thyroid gland cells to decease the levels of thyroid hormone.
You may be given a beta-blocker to control some of the symptoms like the heart palpitations.
About eighty percent of women with this condition recover well after taking medicine for some time. However, some women with thyroid antibodies may have to continue the hormone replacement lifelong. Meanwhile, you can relieve your symptoms by eating a healthy and nutritious diet that includes a variety fruits, vegetables, lean meat, fish and low-fat dairy products. Include regular exercise which will help you feel stronger and increase your energy levels. Ask your healthcare practitioner which exercises are safe for you.
Does Postpartum Thyroiditis Affect Breastfeeding?
If you have been prescribed medication to normalize the thyroid levels, you should continue taking your medication. This medicine crosses into the breast milk but in minimum quantities, which will have no negative effects on the baby.
A thyroid scan is not advisable during lactation because the contrast dye you have to drink will go into the breast milk and affect the baby.

Ancient origins for this grape variety, which is scarcely spread, and where a white fermentation (without skins) at low temperatures produces an elegant wine with a light, almost transparent color and subtle and charming perfumes. Due to the shape of its grape, it is also called White Nebbiolo. It is a dry and fresh wine, with a pleasant acidity, that should be enjoyed young. Fresh and charming perfume with hints of honey and almonds. Dry taste – extremely elegant.
Appetizers, fish or sea food pasta dishes.
If we speak of the Arneis, an autochthonous white variety from Piedmont, one immediately understands the knowledge of the winegrowers, Adriana and Bruno. A wine that is excellent as an aperitif, incredibly fresh in the perfumes (white flower, peach) and a nice entrance into the mouth. A light carbon dioxide adds dynamism and a tasty-mineral aspect. A wine that on certain levels is close to a Riesling, but with more mineral freshness instead of acidity.
Sandy-clay soil. Dry, continental weather.
Maximum 10 tons / Hektar.
Fermentation by only 15°C to protect the flavour. Aging in steel tanks with yeasts.
A dry, fresh wine with discreet acidity, which should be drunk quite young.

This week we are working in the art studio with Mrs Johnston. Today we started of our learning journey with a treasure hunt around school. We then read the story 'Billy's Sunflower'. We had to order the main parts and choose our favourite picture from the story and give it our own title. This afternoon we did observational drawings of sunflowers. We also looked at sunflower pictures by other famous artists. We chose our favourite and explained why. We then played with paint and created shades and tones of different colours using paints.

Mountain lions, bobcats and other wildlife would have less chance of becoming roadkill if the state adopts a plan to build a landscaped bridge over the 101 Freeway in Agoura Hills, supporters of the proposal said. The 165 x 200 foot overpass near Liberty Canyon Road would connect the Santa Monica Mountains on the south with the Simi Hills and Santa Susana Mountains.
Since National Park Service biologists began researching mountain lions in the Santa Monica Mountains in 2002, motorists have struck and killed a dozen of the big cats in the study area, including a male puma hit on the 101 near Liberty Canyon two years ago.
Urbanization has taken a toll on Southern California's mountain lion population, spurring battles over shrinking territory and a depletion of genetic diversity because of inbreeding.
Building the nation's largest wildlife overpass would be ambitious, said Seth Riley, a wildlife ecologist with the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area. At the proposed site, the highway has 10 lanes of pavement, including exit lanes. The overpass would feature drought tolerant vegetation placed so that it helps funnel wildlife across.
"I don't know anywhere where people have tried to put such a large wildlife crossing over such a busy highway in such an urban landscape," said Riley, who has led the mountain lion study.
Scientists long ago identified Liberty Canyon as the optimal location to build a wildlife passage because of the large swaths of protected public land on either side of the freeway. The projected cost would be from $33 to $38 million, according to the report. Proponents said they plan to seek most of the money from public coffers. The National Wildlife Federation and the Santa Monica Mountains Fund have launched an initiative to raise funds for the engineering design and construction expenses.
Wildlife overpasses and underpasses are popular in Canada, Europe and Africa. Christmas Island National Park in Australia features an overpass for the island's millions of red crabs, a vital species that devours leaf litter in rainforests and recycles the nutrients.
The state of Washington recently broke ground on Interstate 90 near Snoqualmie Pass for the state's first freeway overpass for animals. The 150 foot long structure is designed to provide passage for black bears, cougars, deer, elk and even squirrels, mice and lizards. Similar structures have aided wildlife in the Flathead Indian Reservation in Montana, where 30 species have been documented making more than 20,000 trips across the bridges a year.
