Why Can Red Bull Benefit From Mercedes Driver Transfer?
By Louis Nixon / F1 / Leave a Comment
1 Why Could This Transfer Go Sour?
2 How Can This Benefit Red Bull?
3 What Could This Actually Mean For Mercedes?
Seeing as It is the end of the season, we all know that George Russell is now officially a Mercedes driver and will partner up with Lewis Hamilton for the 2022 season.
The speculation of the Brit joining Mercedes started at the very beginning of the season, with most assuming that he could potentially join half-way through the season to replace the poor preforming Bottas, however the idea of that was dismissed and ruled out by Toto Wolff a few rounds ahead of the transfer window, which is at the Belgium Grand Prix.
A transfer did not happen at the Belgium GP however, it was confirmed and announced at Belgium race-week that George Russell would be replacing Bottas for next season and the foreseeable future.
Why Could This Transfer Go Sour?
As much as fans may say that having Russell and Hamilton on the same team could potentially dominate the next season, it could also potentially bring back the rivalry that Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg had.
The pair of them were teammates between 2013-2016, and that pairing had ended only due to Rosberg retiring after winning the World Championship.

Mercedes would obviously go on to get Bottas in which he would deliver and preform as a perfect teammate to Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes as a whole. However, since Russell has joined it has now been said that potentially we could be seeing this battle happen again between the pair of them.
George Russell will be looking to come into the team and show his worth straight away and attempt to show his title winning ability to Mercedes and the world. It is very unlikely we will see Russell backing down and not pushing his hardest so we as fans could expect some interesting racing between himself and Hamilton let alone the other cars on the grid.
How Can This Benefit Red Bull?
Even though Mercedes may now have a stronger pairing in skill wise, it doesn't mean that they work together as teammates as well as Red Bull and some of the other teams.
We've seen that some of the teams have driver pairings that work extremely well together and can work as an actual team in-order to get important results. Many times in the past season we saw drivers defend and attack for their lives just in-order to help, a great example of this would be Alonso having to defend against Hamilton so Ocon could win the Hungarian Grand Prix.

However, as much as Mercedes have had this connection in the past years between Bottas and Hamilton, it's unlikely that we will see that again for the time being, unless Toto Wolff has made it clear to both drivers that he doesn't want the same situation he had previously.
If both drivers are to get in to the way of each-others progress and race it could potentially end with the pair racing too hard and allowing other teams to capitalise on their mistakes and fighting.
What Could This Actually Mean For Mercedes?
This could mean one or two things for Mercedes, they will either have a completely dominant season and be ahead of the rest of the field, or they will get in the way of each other halting progress allowing others to catchup.

As well as Russell and Hamilton having their own specialities in certain areas, they will both also have to adapt to the new car and see who can adapt quicker to the new era, another aspect to take into place is what will the performance of the car actually be? It has currently been rumoured that Mercedes have found something which will give them a large lead from the rest of the teams.
But bar the technical aspects of the car and the performance in it we can seriously expect some intense racing between the pair of these two. They both can push each other on in different ways and throughout the season they could maybe be both fighting for the Drivers Championship.
Nobody is sure how Toto will handle the pairing, nor will we know how Russell and Hamilton treat each other. We could be in for a serious, fierce rivalry and an entertaining fight for the 2022 season.


The Pioneer Florida Museum Association was chartered by the State of Florida on April 30, 1961. The gift of early Pioneer farm equipment to the Pasco County Fair Association was the incentive for forming the museum association with 87 charter members.
Gifts of time, talent, land, objects for the collections and money from countless individuals and organizations have enabled the museum to grow and flourish. It is located on a 20-acre wooded hillside and has ten main buildings.
The John Overstreet House (circa mid 1860's), a two-story farm dwelling constructed of native heart pine. A typical pioneer era facility complete with dog-trot connecting it to the kitchen and with appropriate furnishings.
The Trilby Depot built in 1896 and a 1913 Porter Steam Engine were previously located in the nearby town of Trilby, once the third largest railroad yard in Florida. The steam engine was used for 50 years by the Cummer Cypress Co. to haul logs to its sawmill in Lacoochee. The logs on the truck are estimated to be between four and five hundred years old.
Enterprise Church: This was built in 1878. The original structure was built by local residents and replaced in 1903 at the cost of $500.00. In 1977 the church was moved to the Museum to preserve. Weddings are still performed at the Church.This is a beautiful setting any time of the year..
J.L. Bromley Shoe Repair was donated to the Pioneer Florida Museum by Mrs.Pearl Bromley. It was originally located at the corner of Pasco and 8th Streets in Downtown Dade City.
Minnie and son Fred settled in their home on Fort King Road, he opened his shoe repair business which he operated until poor health closed its doors in 1930. At that time the shop was moved to the Fred Bromley property on Pasadena Road. It remained there until acquired by the Museum in the summer of 1990. Many area residents will remember the late Fred Bromley, who operated a watch repair business in Zephyrhills for 42 years.
The two newer buildings are the Main Museum Building (1975). The main building houses a variety of collections; medical, Indian artifacts, dolls and toys, textiles (clothing, quilts, linens, etc.), laundry equipment, bottles and jars, pottery, shoe lasts, hats and umbrellas. These and numerous other items all combine to give a feeling of nostalgia and a sense an of pride in Florida's pioneer heritage.
C.C. Smith General Store:The C.C. Smith General Store was donated to the Museum by C.C. Smith's niece and was moved to the Museum grounds in May 2000. Built in the 1920's, it served Lacoochee area residents for over 50 years, and carried many of the daily items needed by most families. When you are inside you can go back in history and find meat scales, butcher block, yard goods by the bolt, a Postmasters Station, cooking pans, kettles, bottles irons and many items that have been preserved.
The Blanton Packing House was a working citrus plant until the 1989 killer freeze and was like a museum within its walls. The Pioneer Museum and Village is in the process of preserving the history and now we are in the phase of re-constructing this Blanton Packing House back to a working structure. The Museum has formed a Citrus Committee of agricultural citrus growers, packers, processors, business and professional members. They will help with historical information, research, financial fundraising. This structure was built in 1909 and opened in 1910, employing many area people and shipping citrus by rail and truck.
Other activities held include Country Christmas, Cane Grinding, and various related activities during the year.
The museum is host to hundreds of school children each year as they study Florida heritage and pioneer life. Many individuals and organizations use the buildings and grounds for various activities including class reunions, picnics, and services and weddings in the Enterprise Church. For information on building rentals call 352-567-0262.
The Pioneer Florida Museum & Village trustees and members strongly believe that the preservation and recognition of our past, our ancestors, and the life they lived help to build the foundation for a better future.

Q: Orthogonal projection of a vector on a linear subspace I know this question has already been asked before but I'm not quite sure I've understood them well enough.
I want to find the projection $\vec{v}_{proj}$ of $\vec{v}\in V$ on the span of the vectors $\vec{a_i}\in V$, which is a subspace of $V$.
What is the matrix that represent this projection in an arbitrary basis $\mathscr{B}$, and if it isn't entirely intuitive, why?

A: Choose an orthonormal basis of that subspace and extend to an orthonormal basis of the whole space. Then the projection matrix with respect to this basis
will of the form $P=\left({I\mid Z\over Z\mid Z}\right)$  where $I$ is the identity matrix of size = dimension of the subspace, and $Z$ represent zero matrices of appr0priate sizes to make the whole matrix $n\times n$.
Now for an arbitrary basis assuimg $Q$ is the change-of-basis matrix the projection matrix would be $Q^{-1}PQ$.

A Herschel Walker Win Would Be a Disaster for Workers
Herschel Walker's largest company relies on unpaid prison labor, he doesn't think there should be a minimum wage, and he pays himself 100x the average income in GA.
Sean MorrowPeter Lucas
Video narrated by Brian Tyler Cohen
We've got a runoff election coming up in Georgia on November 6th, but it's a lot more important than you think. So understanding the non-incumbent candidate Herschel Walker is very important. Even though [Dr. Mehmet Oz and Blake Masters] were defeated in their respective races — putting the Democratic caucus in control of the Senate — it's not enough to fully protect working Americans from billionaire power. There's a huge difference between 51-49 and 50-50. That one extra seat would help keep any individual rogue Democrat from holding important votes hostage.
Since this one runoff election could change everything, understanding Herschel Walker is very important. Much of the coverage on Walker has been about his personal scandals and, well, how weird he is: his hypocrisy surrounding abortion; his lies about graduating college; his claim of a body spray that can cure covid; his lies about his lies about graduating college; his fake police badge; multiple allegations of domestic abuse; his fake upholstery company; allegations of stalking; his son denouncing him; and his love of vampires.
[Herschel Walker]: I don't know if you know vampires are cool people, are they not?
The media's obsession with these scandals has basically given him a free pass on his economic record and what it would mean for working Georgians. It's time to correct that. So I've again teamed up with The Class Room at More Perfect Union to look at just how damaging a Senator Herschel Walker would be for working people. Let's dig in.
While Herschel Walker might be most known for his football career… he's also a major business owner, and his business history can tell us a lot about who he is. Walker owns "H Walker Enterprises," an umbrella corporation for all of his other companies. He's valued it at between 25 and 50 million dollars, and his company pays him over 3 million dollars a year. The average income in Georgia, which Walker claims to represent, is just over 30k a year.
His biggest property is Renaissance Man Foods, which paid Walker a quarter of a million dollars last year. Renaissance claims they donate 15 percent of their profits to charity, but when the New York Times called those charities up, one declined to comment and the other three said they had no idea what Walker was talking about. One of the charities closed in 2014. They really do the opposite of charity. They used unpaid prison labor to produce their products.
Christian Alcoholics and Addicts in Recovery is an organization that takes in people convicted of crimes in lieu of prison and makes money selling their labor to other companies. Renaissance Foods was one.
But let's look at some of the supposed good Walker has done, like his "non-profit" for Veterans, Patriot Support.
[Herschel Walker]: Thank you so very much for your dedication, care, and service. We're all in this together, together we stand.
The only problem there? It's not a non-profit, and Walker didn't found it. The Associated Press proved that Walker was but a celebrity spokesperson of a very much for profit organization. Walker profited too, he was paid over 300,000 dollars for his role as spokesman.
The organization was run by a for-profit hospital company and allegedly forced veterans with government health insurance into inpatient mental health facilities because government insurance doesn't limit the amount of time a patient can spend in inpatient care. According to the allegations, veterans would go in for mental health help, and due to intentional misdiagnoses and fraudulent documents be institutionalized for an infinite amount of time.
But Walker's own business interests are nowhere near as important as the business interests of the people who've bought him off: his donors. The top donors to his SuperPAC are seriously the rogues gallery of screwing over the working class.
Like nearly 2 million dollars from Bernie Marcus––the founder of Home Depot, author of anti-union screeds, constant breaker of labor law, and one of the most consistent funders of the movement to destroy worker power.
And 1 million dollars from office supply billionaires, the Uihleins, who are very used to supporting candidates with sordid personal histories. They were the biggest backers of the Roy Moore campaign, and constantly back the furthest right politicians in America. They also fund corporate attacks on the labor movement and their workers have some of the most COVID safety complaints of any company.
And those are just the biggest fish. There's industrialist Dennis Washington who has made billions exploiting labor, including a 13 percent increase in his net worth during the early months of the pandemic as the rest of us were at risk of losing our jobs and homes, and the usual donations from Wall Street billionaires.
All of these funders, like Walker himself, have motivation to destroy basic worker protections like workers comp, minimum wage, overtime pay, and the right to collective bargaining. But we don't have to guess what Walker thinks of workers, he's said it. He admitted on television he doesn't support a federal minimum wage. We're talking about $7.25 an hour.
[Herschel Walker]: Right now, I think you have to work with different corporations and see just where they can pay… To mandate a federal fee that they have to pay hourly wage, no I can't approve that.
Walker's opponent, Raphael Warnock, has led the charge to cap prices on insulin for Medicare patients. Walker mocked the idea, saying that diabetics just "need to eat right." First off, that is not medically accurate. And second, it's just cruel. And on the plan to expand Medicaid, which would provide lifesaving services to 600,000 Georgians?
[Herschel Walker]: Well right now, Medicaid has not been good. Right now expanding is gonna continue to bankrupt us. I think right now, you know that as well.
And despite a company he was on the board of getting millions in PPP loans while still laying off 90 percent of staff, Walker literally laughed at canceling student debt. But that's all the stuff he doesn't support. The stuff he does, who knows. The policy page on his website is so short that it would only take Walker like 45 minutes to read it.
His website barely has any policy ideas on it. So we have no idea what he supports. You've heard so much about what Walker is like as a man — a liar, a hypocrite, an abuser — and those things are important, but much more important is what he'd be like as a senator, and that would be very bad for working people.
This is a vital Senate seat, and sending Walker to Washington would be a disaster for working Georgians and Americans.

Credit bureau TransUnion CEO to retire in May 2019
FILE PHOTO - TransUnion Corp. President and CEO Jim Peck takes a photo of his company's logo on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange before the company's IPO in New York, June 25, 2015. REUTERS/Lucas Jackson
(Reuters) - US consumer credit reporting agency TransUnion TRU.N said on Wednesday Chief Executive Officer James Peck, who led the initial public offering of the company in 2015, will retire in May and be succeeded by Christopher Cartwright.
Cartwright joined TransUnion in 2013 as vice president of the U.S. information services unit, while Peck served as the company's CEO for six years.
Under Peck, TransUnion's enterprise value rose from around $3 billion in 2012 to over $16 billion, the company said in a statement here.
The company's market value was around $12 billion based on 185.3 million shares outstanding as of Sept. 29, according to Refinitiv Eikon data.
TransUnion raised $664.8 million in its IPO in June 2015, after the 29.5-million-share offering, which valued it at around $4.5 billion.
The stock market listing came three years after private equity firm Advent International and Goldman Sachs Group Inc GS.N agreed to buy reut.rs/2qKiYP5 the company from Madison Dearborn Partners and the Pritzker family.
As of Tuesday's close, TransUnion's shares have risen 17 percent year-to-date, far outpacing the 15 percent decline in peer Equifax EFX.N over the same period.

Newgioco cuts first half loss despite revenue decline
20th August 2020 | By contenteditor
Online gaming operator and supplier Newgioco Group has reported an 18.5% year-on-year decline in revenue for the first half of 2020, though reduced operating costs saw the business halve its net loss for the period.
Turnover for the six months to 30 June fell 11.1% to $210.0m, with a 4.0% rise in online turnover to $182.2m wiped out by a 54.4% drop in retail's contribution. This period saw Newgioco's 150 betting shops in its core Italian market closed from 8 March to 4 May as a result of the novel coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic, and major sporting events cancelled or suspended.
It was not until 19 June that all land-based betting shops and kiosks were all back in operation.
After payouts of $192.5m, Newgioco's gross gaming revenue was down 14.6% at $17.6m. Once Italian gaming taxes of $2.6m were paid, and platform revenue of $24,797 (down 85.7%) factored in, Newgioco's revenue for the first half came to $15.0m, down 18.5% year-on-year.
The retail shut-down and suspension of sports did result in a decline in operating costs for the period, which fell 21.5% to $15.9m, resulting in a reduced operating loss of $896,472.
However, other costs were significantly reduced, falling from $2.6m in H1 2019 to $881,377. This was down to a $722,500 gain on marketable securities, while interest expenses declined to $173,073 and debt amortisation charges fell 64.3% to $737,074.
This resulted in a $1.8m loss before tax, which after income taxes of $590,097 resulted in a net loss of $2.4m, down 51.6%. Once a $93,514 foreign exchange loss was factored in, Newgioco's comprehensive loss for the half was reduced 50.3% to $2.5m.
This followed a second quarter in which revenue was down 47.2% to $4.8m. Turnover for the three months to 30 June only decreased marginally, however, falling 5.2% to $94.1m as growth in online stakes offset retail wagering falling to $4.2m.
Costs and expenses declined 29.0% to $6.8m, resulting in an operating loss of $2.0m, up significantly from a $523,703 loss in the prior year. Once again, other expenses fell significantly due to reduced interest expenses, lower debt amortisation charges and a gain on marketable securities.
But with revenue for the quarter falling, this still translated to higher losses. Loss before income taxes widened to $2.5m. After $62,059 in income taxes, Newgioco's net loss grew 42.0% to $2.5m, which after a $18,516 gain from foreign currency translations, resulted in a comprehensive loss of $2.5m for the period, up 46.7%.
PointsBet revenue doubles, but losses also grow, in Q2

[JLC's] well-balanced, rough, raw, fuzzy rock n' roll. Bouncing from Built to Spill-style tracks, to surf rock and straight-up punk, these guys are the perfect house-party band.

"Their new 45 on Windian Records finds Jacques Le Coque at the top of their game. A-side "Tip of My Tongue" is uptempo punk counterbalancing the catchiness with needling string work and subtly integrating a thread of garage precedent, some swell '77-ish leads and a sly false ending into the equation."You Better Move" only intensifies this circumstance, blending in unabashed power pop gestures and more overt '60s melodicism through low-mixed vocal harmony and a splendid guitar solo. Destined to satisfy jangle poppers with an underlying itch for the Ramones, Jacques Le Coque delivers raw, infectious, and damn fine music in full.

Record-breaking cargo volume in November
Two weeks ago, when we reported the strong air freight data posted by several of the big cargo carriers and airports in November, we predicted that WorldACD and IATA would show worldwide year-over-year air freight demand growth close to double digits for the month.
We will have to wait for IATA, but WorldACD published its report yesterday, and not only did it show strong demand growth – traffic (in direct tonne kilometers) up 8.9% y-o-y and volume (in chargeable weight) up 7.8% – but yield (in USD) was up a staggering 17.3%!
In some respects, November seems a long time ago. The big news lately has been the continuation of peak season right through Christmas, and the expectation that demand (and rates) may stay strong through January, and not fall off until the Chinese New Year holiday in mid-February. But that does not make November any the less remarkable. In fact, it currently stands as the best month ever for the air freight industry.
According to WorldACD, total air freight volume in November was the highest ever for a single month – breaking the record set the previous month. As to yield, WorldACD said the 17.3% y-o-y yield increase was the highest since the recovery after the 2009 crisis, and airline cargo revenues were more than 26% higher than in November 2016.
You can read the full WorldACD report here, but a couple of details are worth pointing out.
The biggest volume gains were reported on the Middle East & South Asia (MESA)-to-Europe and MESA-to-Africa lanes, where volume was up 21.1%.
The Asia Pacific-to-North America and Europe-to-MESA lanes also did well, with volume up 11.5% and 11.3%, respectively.
The biggest yield gains were on routes from Europe. Measured in EUR, yield on the Europe-to-North America lane was up 28%, and up 25% on the Europe-to-Central & South America lane. Measured in USD, the gains were even higher – up 40% and 36%, respectively.
Returning to the present, the first report of air freight demand in December comes from Pactl, the biggest handler at Shanghai Pudong International, which reported its handle for the month up 9.5% y-o-y to 173,000 tonnes – a slight drop from the 10.9% gain in November, but nonetheless an indication of continuing strong demand. For the full year, Pactl's handle was up 12.2% to a record 1.87 million tonnes.

Timothée Chalamet knows about those artwork memes
Unclick Upstream
'It's cool, it's cool.'
The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon/YouTube
Michelle Jaworski— 2018-10-11 09:55 am
Timothée Chalamet broke out last year with Call Me By Your Name, but on top of making art, he's become art—and Chalamet is definitely aware of it.
Speaking to Jimmy Fallon, Chalamet—who is promoting Beautiful Boy—reflected back on the surrealness of the past year, which included countless nominations and a trip to the Oscars with his family. But Fallon also asked Chalamet if he knew about an Instagram account that Photoshopped Chalamet's face into Renaissance art. The account, which began posting in July, now has more than 63,000 followers and is still going strong.
Chalamet—who did know about the account—admits that he definitely wouldn't be able to do something like that. But while he's a bit overwhelmed by it, he's appreciative of the account.
"That is so weird, I can't—but it's cool, it's cool," he said. "And I'm grateful to whoever is doing that, thank you, thank you for working on that."
Here are a few examples from the account.

Taylor Swift Chevron Right
Fans Are Convinced Taylor Swift Is Going to Drop a Third Surprise Album
Swifties think "folklore" and "evermore" are part of a trilogy.
By Alicia Brunker
While we've only just begun to uncover the many conspiracy theories behind the songs on Taylor Swift's surprise album evermore, Swifties are convinced even more music is on its way. On Friday, the singer shocked fans with the sister record to folklore, and it didn't take long for them to begin to wonder if the two albums are part of a trilogy, with the third one titled woodvale.
The internet is replete with clues, but the most compelling piece of evidence can be found in folklore's album art. In the black and white photo, the word "woodvale" is hidden in the trees. Initially, fans brushed it off as a possible song, but when evermore was released and "woodvale" wasn't on the track list, they concluded that the only reasonable explanation left is another album.
Another sign? Taylor's folklore merchandise has mysterious groupings of three. Not only are there three different cardigans, but each sweater has three stars on the sleeves. And all of her merch packages come with confetti in three shapes and colors, according to one fan.
Taylor herself admitted that she's been on a songwriting streak in quarantine, and couldn't pack them all into a single album.
Upon announcing the release of evermore, she tweeted: "To put it plainly, we just couldn't stop writing songs. To try and put it more poetically, it feels like we were standing on the edge of the folklorian woods and had a choice: to turn and go back or to travel further into the forest of this music. We chose to wander deeper in."

It's been a long time since I posted an update on my thyroid. This is partly due to the fact that nearly four years post-surgery, I'm still seeing doctors and having blood tests to try and figure out what is going on. It's been a roller coaster of a journey, with difficult choices ahead of me…. so let me fill you in.
When I had my surgery back in December 2010, the idea was to have a total thyroidectomy to cure my overactive thyroid. No thyroid, no problem – right? So I thought, but it turned out due to to not being able to locate one of the nerves connected to my voice box, they had to leave a small amount of my thyroid in.
This has meant, since surgery, my thyroid has never settled down. I was put onto thyroxine and this dosage was gradually reduced until, a few months ago, I changed my GP who sent me to to see a specialist (better late than never), and was taken off the thyroxine altogether. I was told that, due to the fact it looks as though what is left of my thyroid could be turning overactive again, I could now be faced with two options: take an iodine drink to kill off what's left, or face further surgery.
It wasn't what I wanted to hear. I haven't really felt any ill effects from my thyroid since the surgery, but then, I don't think I've ever know what a 'normal' thyroid feels like, so it's impossible for me to tell. Yes, I feel tired a lot of the time, but when you take into account my stressful job, long hours and the fact I lead an active life, exercising a lot – is that really so abnormal?
I've also had no problem losing weight at a healthy rate through diet and weight training – but then, when I look at the fact I've had four weeks of no training and eating cake (due to a shoulder injury) and I've hardly put on any body fat at all when I should have, maybe that is a sign my thyroid is still misbehaving.
But I haven't given up hope. Since coming off the thyroxine my latest blood tests returned a good result – a sign that without any intervention, perhaps things are settling down? I'm not ready to commit to surgery or an iodine drink at this stage. Unfortunately, I do have a small lump reappearing where my thyroid is hyping up again. Before surgery I had a fairly large goiter, which then vanished, but the little remnant is appearing again. My doctor tells me it isn't very noticeable, but I see it.
Using yoga and weight training to improve my health.
There is also the matter of my scar. It's not pretty – the staples were taken out too soon and the wound opened – and I'm hoping to speak with the surgeon to see if further surgery would be able to solve this problem. Would going through it all again be so traumatic due to the fact there is less to come out? There are so many questions I still have.
At this stage, I am trying to really focus on getting my body to a place where it's working at its best through nutrition and regular exercise. Training gives me zest, makes me feel healthy, and eating a clean, nutritious diet is what I need right now. I'm trying to cut back on thryoid-stiumlating vegetables such as raw brocolli and spinach, and making sure I eat Brazil nuts every day which contain thyroid-supporting selenium.
Before my surgery in 2010 my goiter was very pronounced.
I know I can't sure my thyroid through my diet, but perhaps I can nourish it enough so that it will work better? I'm no medical expert, I don't know if it will work, but that is my plan, because right now I cannot face the thought of going through that whole experience again.
So that is where I am – four years post-op but still smiling despite the rocky ride! My scar is barely noticeable to others and my surgery seems like a distant memory now. I'm hoping I am back on track, but time will tell.
Has anyone else who had a sub-total thyroidectomy had a similar experience? I'd love to hear your stories, please share them below or feel free to get in touch.
I too had thyroid op..took out 3 of the 4 parathyroids….and had the long wire type closure..with little beads on each end. Looked like Frankensteins monster. Took the closure out Christmas eve 2009. My scar was still a mess. It did fade a little…but was still livid.
What has sorted it out…was some laser treatment. Not cheap..but an investment. Scar is now barely visible… You have done well…really have…If I can find the photos for the before and after…I will send.
Hope this works….the " before" photo….and the "after" will follow when I have taken it….
As long as TSI antibodies are present they will stimulate thyroid activity and growth.
The best thing is to halt production of these antibodies but most doctors are focusing on "killing" or cutting off the thyroids.
I had my whole thyroid out in March 2003 because of hyperactivity and a nodule loaded goiter. I started levothyroxine after that. By January 2013 I had a large (in my opinion) growth reappear. After needle biopsy and some other tests I found out it was not a functioning gland.
I had a second thyroidectomy done January 2013. The only surgeons willing to touch my case were university surgeons because the gland was the size of a peach and went below my collarbone. The second surgery had a smaller incision than the first and they were able to go in through the previous scar.
I feel better but I still feel something is missing in my treatment.
I have remained on the same dose of levothyroxine(0.1 mg) the whole time with a TSH of about 1.25.


Information NAIJweb.ng has come across on social media indicates that Shatta Wale has already got himself another woman following his reported breakup with Shatta Michy.
The relationship status of Shatta Wale and Shatta Michy is still unknown after Shatta Wale claimed that Michy had chased him with a knife in their house.
After posting the alleged knife-chasing episode on social media, the two have been dropping subtle posts which suggested they had really broken up.
Reports from some quarters had claimed the two were only feuding on social media to whip up attention for an upcoming release of a movie Shatta Wale starred in.
However, it has been 10 days since the first shots were fired and there seems to be no white flag being raised now.
Within that time, Shatta Wale has even come out to admit that he slept with a Stonebwoy fan.
But before we could find out who that Stonebwoy fan is, there is gossip that Shatta Wale is now seeing an up coming musician.
According to a celebrity gossip Instagram account @thosesocalledcelebs, Shatta Wale is dating fast rising Afro Pop singer, Abigail Boatemaa known widely as Bigail.
While NAIJweb.ng cannot independently confirm the claim, it must be noted that @thosecalledcelebs is a popular account and has often hyped Shatta Michy.
Bigail has been on the music scene for some time now and she recently released a single titled 'Baby.
Already, Bigail had released tracks like 'Asa' and 'Don't Touch'.

If the reports are true, then we should expect some very good times from the Shatta Movement boss and his new queen soon.

(Ph.D., Harvard University, 1989). Ginsborg combines work in the history of philosophy, especially Kant, with an interest in contemporary philosophy, in particular the theory of meaning and the philosophy of mind. Much of her published work has focused on Kant's Critique of Judgment, arguing for its importance both to Kant's own theory of cognitive judgment and to our present-day understanding of cognition. Recently she has been applying what she takes to be the central insight of the Critique of Judgment to a range of contemporary issues, including rule-following skepticism, the normativity of meaning and content, the content of perceptual experience and the notion of function in biology. She has also been working on Kant's theory of experience in the Critique of Pure Reason and on contemporary views about the relation between perceptual experience and belief. Other interests include Wittgenstein's later philosophy, aesthetics (especially in connection with music), and the philosophy of biology. A collection of her articles on Kant's Critique of Judgment has appeared as The Normativity of Nature: Essays on Kant's Critique of Judgement (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2015). Recently published articles on contemporary issues include "Empiricism and Normative Constraint," "Normativity and Concepts," and "Leaps in the Dark: Epistemological Skepticism in Kripke's Wittgenstein" (all published in 2018; see publications page for details).
Ginsborg's current research project seeks to articulate and develop the notion of "primitive normativity" – a notion drawn from her reading of Kant's aesthetic theory – and to show how it can be used to address problems about rule-following, knowledge of language and grasp of concepts. The notion of primitive normativity is introduced in her 2011 paper, "Primitive Normativity and Skepticism About Rules," and reappears in various forms in subsequent work, both on Kant's theory of knowledge and on contemporary issues.

[2022] Road Map to a VBAC in the Chicago Area
[Updated 1/12/2022]
You had a c-section with your previous pregnancy and now you're pregnant again. Will you try for a vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) this time around, or will you plan a repeat c-section? This article points you to some third-party resources that will help you consider which way to go, and then walks you through the process of finding the best VBAC providers.
VBAC or repeat Cesarean — resources to help you decide
Choosing a VBAC-friendly hospital and practitioner
Best Chicago-area hospitals for VBAC
Options for midwife-attended VBAC
Options if you've had two prior C-sections (VBA+2C)
VBAC in a midwife-led birth center
[Note that several Chicago-area home birth providers may offer the option of a home birth after cesarean, but only if your most recent birth was a successful VBAC. This article focuses on options for women who have not had a vaginal birth since their last cesarean, so we don't address the option of VBAC at home.]
The old adage "once a cesarean, always a cesarean" has been debunked.
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) current practice bulletin relating to VBAC takes the position that women with one or two previous c-sections are candidates for a trial of labor after cesarean (TOLAC) and should be counseled about and offered a TOLAC. (See "Summary of Recommendations and Conclusions" section in full text of Practice Bulletin.) ACOG also recognizes that "the ultimate decision to undergo TOLAC or a repeat cesarean delivery should be made by the patient in consultation with her obstetrician or obstetric care provider. The potential risks and benefits of both TOLAC and elective repeat cesarean delivery should be discussed."
The American College of Nurse Midwives (ACNM) similarly encourages a trial of labor after c-section (TOLAC): "Women who are candidates for labor after cesarean should be encouraged to consider VBAC.
So VBAC is an option every woman should at least look into.
Before you plan a repeat cesarean, do a little digging to figure out whether VBAC might be a good option for you.
Here are some resources to help you weigh trial of labor vs. planned cesarean:
ACOG FAQs: Vaginal Birth After Cesarean Delivery – Deciding on a Trial of Labor After Cesarean Delivery – FAQs from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists
Childbirth Connection – offers a helpful overview of VBAC, including "VBAC Basics", "Planning Ahead", "Research and Evidence", and "VBAC Resources"
International Cesarean Awareness Network (ICAN) – a leading national organization dedicated to preventing unnecessary cesareans, supporting cesarean recovery and promoting vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC)
Lamaze International infographic – a one-page summary of facts about VBAC
VBAC.com – a source for evidence-based information, resources, continuing education and support for VBAC
VBAC Facts – offers a comprehensive paid online course for women and their partners that will walk you through the research and other considerations to help you decide whether you're interested in VBAC

Choosing a provider for trial of labor after cesarean ("TOLAC")
If you decide to try for a vaginal birth this time around, your first priority should be to find a supportive provider. You're not just looking for someone who says "yes", you're looking for someone who enthusiastically supports a trial of labor after c-section.
This is the key piece of advice offered by Erica Fleischer, who is the current leader of the Chicago Chapter of the International Cesarean Awareness Network, Inc. (ICAN) — a nonprofit organization whose mission is "to improve maternal-child health by reducing preventable cesareans through education, supporting cesarean recovery, and advocating for vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC)."
As Fleischer explains, "You'll hear from a lot of providers that, 'Sure, you can have a VBAC.' But then if you don't go into labor spontaneously before 39 or 40 weeks, they want to do a repeat c-section. Or if you develop a medical condition that means you need to deliver right away, they refuse to induce you, so they're basically requiring you to have a c-section. We always tell people that the most important thing is to have a provider is truly supportive." That means providers who actively promote VBAC.
Dr. Richard K. Silver is the Chairman of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Chief Academic Officer at NorthShore University HealthSystem. He practices at NorthShore's Evanston Hospital, which is where Erica Fleischer had her VBAC and which has one of the very best VBAC rates in the Chicago area. Dr. Silver attributes the hospital's excellent outcomes in part to the fact that it's a Level III hospital, which means that the doctors and midwives there see some of the rare but serious complications that can arise when a woman has multiple cesareans.
As Dr. Silver explains it, "Repeat cesarean is more risky for the mother. For instance, we inherit patients from other hospital systems when their placenta grows through the uterine wall and threatens their life. We handle up to 20 cases a year. These are really challenging cases, involving transfusions, multiple surgeries, urological issues. This is one of the risks of repeat cesareans and one of the long term consequences of not offering vaginal trial of labor appropriately."
So what does it mean to offer trial of labor appropriately? Dr. Silver's answer is that it starts with good counseling. "You have to be non-coercive, but you also have to overcome the understandable barrier. Someone's had a less than ideal experience with their prior labor and it ended with c-section. If it were me, I'd raise my hand and say, 'This time, let's skip the labor and just repeat the cesarean.' You can absolutely understand why they'd make that choice. So you have to address that with factual data, with good information, including the effect that a second cesarean section may have on the pregnancies after this one. Women need the data."
Look for a provider who explains the risks and advantages of both VBAC and scheduled repeat c-section, whichever way you're leaning at the outset.
Saint Anthony Hospital is another top performing hospital for VBAC in the Chicago area. Saint Anthony has a unique model: all pregnant and laboring women are cared for in the first instance by Saint Anthony's midwives, backed up by a team of obstetricians. That means that the culture at Saint Anthony strongly reflects the midwifery model of care — a culture of patience, confidence in the natural process of birth, respect for the broad range of normal, and an emphasis on communication and shared decision-making.
According to Dr. Michele Bucciero, Saint Anthony Hospital's Clinical Director in Obstetrics and Gynecology, that culture is key to the hospital's excellent VBAC outcomes. "You have to explain to patients why you're not necessarily intervening right away and why you're letting them do things on their own. And I think you have to be patient. You can't be anxious, running to the back for surgery if they don't make progress every two hours. You have to give them the time."
Michelle Korzek, CNM, is the Directory of Midwifery Services at Saint Anthony Hospital. She attributes the hospital's culture of patience in part to the unique perspective that midwives bring. "As midwives, we're not going to look at someone who's had a previous c-section as being 'abnormal' per se. We always look at birth as a normal life process. That gives us confidence to leave the process alone more of the time."
It's clear that the midwives and OBs at Saint Anthony are totally aligned on this. As Dr. Brucciero says, "It's how midwives train and how they look at birth, which is so drastically different than how obstetricians train and look at birth. If I were interested in a trial of labor after cesarean, I would definitely want a midwife taking care of me."
Look for a provider who will be patient and who trusts the process of birth. Consider a midwife.
The question of training is clearly important. Dr. Silver has been in practice for more than 30 years and he has seen drastic changes in approaches to VBAC over that time. "When I was in training, we offered pretty much everybody a trial of labor and the success rate was around 80%. For women with non-recurring indications [meaning that the reason for their previous c-section is not likely to recur this time around], 8 or 9 out of ten would delivery vaginally. And even those with the lowest odds of success, maybe someone who got stuck at seven centimeters or who pushed for four hours and still couldn't deliver her baby, even those women have a 50/50 shot at delivering vaginally."
Dr. Silver believes that providers can have skewed perceptions of the risks and benefits of a trial of labor. "Sometimes providers forget that if they allow trial of labor often enough, they're going to be avoiding a lot of surgeries."
Of course, it's not providers but mothers who actually undertake the trial of labor. That raises another important component of good counseling, according to Dr. Bucciero. "Women need to go into it with realistic expectations. For most, it's not going be a rapid birth. Most likely it's going to take a while, you're going to be uncomfortable. It might be a little anxiety provoking, and at the end of the day you may need another section. I think that's just something people have to understand. So you need to be patient and realistic. And what that requires is confidence. It's the provider's job to give you that confidence."
Dr. Silver agrees that confidence is critical. "When choosing a provider, I would ask, 'what is the culture of your labor and delivery unit? Are your nurses and other folks supportive of this or do they get anxious when they have a patient with a scarred uterus?'" The anxiety of people around you can undermine your confidence and derail your labor.
Look for providers who are confident in your ability to birth vaginally after c-section. If they believe you can do it, so will you.
Because it's so important to find a supportive provider, don't limit yourself to nearby hospitals. An hour or even an hour and a half drive might be inconvenient for prenatal visits and unpleasant when you're in labor, but ultimately could be worth it.
As Dr. Silver points out, "People get anxious about being far from the hospital, but I think that's a little overrated, especially with a VBAC. A lot of moms had a protracted first labor so they're not likely to have a rapid labor this time around." Dr. Silver has cared for vaginal trial of labor patients who live as much as an hour and a half away. That means you can look beyond the hospitals closest to you to find providers you really trust. In the list of top options for VBAC below, you're likely to find a hospital well within a safe distance almost no matter where you live in the Chicago area.
You don't have to limit your search to nearby hospitals.
Other factors to consider when choosing your provider
The most important thing is to find a provider who is supportive. But there are other considerations as well.
One is monitoring technology. Mothers trying for a vaginal birth after cesarean are required to have continuous electronic fetal monitoring, where a belt around their belly transmits fetal heart tones to a receiver. In some hospitals, the monitor significantly limits the mother's ability to move around. But some hospitals offer the option of monitoring by telemetry, which transmits the fetal heart tones wirelessly. That allows the laboring woman to walk around instead of being tethered to the monitor. As Erica Fleischer puts it, "All Chicago area hospitals will require you to be monitored the whole time for a TOLAC [trial of labor after cesarean], but that doesn't have to mean you're stuck on your bed." Being able to move around and try different positions can help you labor effectively, and an effective labor is less likely to end with a cesarean.
Look for a hospital that offers telemetry monitoring.
Another question to ask is whether there is an anesthesia team in the hospital at all times. This is important so that if a cesarean birth becomes necessary, it can be performed without delay.
Look for a hospital that has an anesthesiologist on site 24/7.
And Fleischer has a few more recommendations for women who want a VBAC. "First, hire a doula. The evidence shows that they reduce the rate of c-sections, and that kind of support is particularly valuable for VBAC. Second, if your c-section was for failure to progress or failure to descend, consider body work like physical therapy, chiropractic or the Spinning Babies technique. There are plenty of women who address physical issues that made their first labor difficult and then have no issue with their next birth. And third, work through any emotional trauma you may carry from your first labor. ICAN offers support for that, including through a closed Facebook group."
Not every mother who qualifies for and chooses a trial of labor will have a vaginal birth, although success rates tend to be very high, often around 80 – 90% or more. But for many woman, the decision to try for a VBAC has benefits even if another cesarean becomes necessary. Dr. Bucciero puts it like this: " I think at the end of the day, even if people aren't successful, I feel like they're okay getting another c-section, knowing they put in their best effort. There is some kind of mental shift and bonding that happens just by going through the labor process, that a lot of people that walk in and get a c-section don't necessarily experience. I feel like people that go through labor and really give it their all often end up more satisfied with their choice, even if they don't end up having a natural delivery."
Although the evidence supports trial of labor for most women who've had cesarean births, not all providers are wholeheartedly comfortable with VBAC. If you're considering a vaginal birth this time around, don't stop at a discussion with your current provider.
Instead, plan to get opinions from several doctors and/or midwives who support and have attended lots of successful VBACs. You'll get a more balanced feel for the risks and benefits of a trial of labor by hearing multiple points of view, and you're also more likely to find someone you truly connect with. A trusting relationship is especially important for a trial of labor after c-section since you need to feel confident that you and your provider have the same goals.
The best way to find VBAC-supportive providers is to start with hospitals and midwife-led birth centers that have high VBAC rates. (See our list below). Remember that not all hospitals and not all individual practitioners have the same criteria for trial of labor after cesarean. Just because you don't qualify in one setting does not mean that you don't qualify anywhere.
You can also find a list of BirthGuide members who can help you prepare for a VBAC here.
You don't need to limit yourself to the hospitals closest to you. Many providers will agree to care for you even if you are traveling a distance to get to them. Given the importance of finding a supportive provider, cast a wide net if you need to.
When you're interviewing providers at your setting of choice, here are some questions to ask:
Will you allow me to go past my due date if that's my informed decision?
Are you willing to induce or augment my labor if that becomes medically necessary?
Will I have fewer options in labor because I've had a previous c-section?

Best Hospitals for VBAC in Chicago
Based on most recent Illinois Department of Public Health statistics for VBAC rates and volumes (covering the period 10/1/2019 to 9/30/2020), the top five hospitals for VBAC in the Chicago area are:
Saint Anthony Hospital (Chicago) – 43.3% VBAC rate
Northshore Univ HS Evanston Hospital (Evanston) – 37.8% VBAC rate
University of Chicago Medicine (Chicago) – 30.9% VBAC rate
University of Illinois Hospital & Health System (Chicago) – 30.6% VBAC rate
Swedish Hospital | Part of NorthShore (Chicago) – 28.9% VBAC rate
Here is some more detail on each, arranged by location.
NorthShore University Evanston Hospital: More than 180 babies were born by VBAC at NorthShore University HealthSystem Evanston Hospital in the reporting year, and the hospital's VBAC rate (37.8) is the second highest among Chicago-area hospitals. Both midwives and doctors support trial of labor after cesarean. With a VBAC rate that is among the very highest for Chicago-area hospitals (and improved over last year's already excellent performance), and with the highest volume of VBACs among hospitals in this category, Evanston Hospital is one of the top two choices for VBAC in the Chicago area.
Swedish Hospital | Part of NorthShore: Swedish Hospital made the list of top five hospitals for VBAC in this reporting period. Just over 75 mothers had successful, uncomplicated VBACs and the hospital's VBAC rate of 28.9% represents an increase of more than a third over the prior reporting period — an impressive improvement in this important quality measure. Both doctors and midwives support trial of labor after C-section.
University of Illinois Hospital & Health System: U of I also made impressive progress in its support of TOLAC, with a successful, uncomplicated VBAC rate that's up more than 20% over its rate for the prior reporting period. Just over 90 babies were born vaginally to mothers who had had a prior cesarean birth, constituting a VBAC rate of 30.6%.
UChicago Medicine Family Birth Center: The doctors and midwives at the Family Birth Center at the University of Chicago attended over 100 successful VBACs in the most recent reporting year, with a VBAC rate of 30.9%.
West/Southwest
Saint Anthony Hospital: The highest VBAC rate among Chicago-area hospitals was reported by Saint Anthony Hospital on Chicago's Southwest Side. This is the third year in a row that Saint Anthony has held the number one spot. Sixty-two mothers, representing almost 43.4% of mothers who had prior c-sections, successfully delivered vaginally in 2019-20. This is up another 10% over Saint Anthony's already excellent rate from the prior reporting year. Saint Anthony's has a unique model of care: all women are in the care of midwives in the first instance, supported as needed by back-up obstetricians. This is equally true for women choosing a trial of labor after c-section. With the highest VBAC rate among Chicago-area hospitals for the third year in a row, and with a commitment to VBAC demonstrated by continuous improvement in its already excellent outcomes, Saint Anthony's is one of the top two hospitals for VBAC in our area.
There is a second tier of four additional hospitals where VBAC rates were above 25%. They are:
MacNeal Hospital in Berwyn, with a VBAC rate of 26.1%
Advocate Trinity Hospital in Chicago on the far South Side, with a VBAC rate of 26.1%
West Suburban Medical Center Family Birth Center (not the Alternative Birthing Center) in Oak Park , with a VBAC rate of 25.7%; and
Advocate Sherman Hospital in Elgin, with a VBAC rate of 25.2%
All five of the top-rated hospitals offer midwife-attended VBAC:
Saint Anthony Hospital (Chicago)
Northshore Univ HS Evanston Hospital (Evanston)
University of Chicago Medicine (Chicago)
University of Illinois Hospital & Health System (Chicago)
Swedish Hospital | Part of NorthShore (Chicago)
Special mentions: In addition to the top-five options above, the midwives who deliver at AMITA Health Adventist Medical Center Hinsdale have an extremely high VBAC rate (57%). It's important to note that this is the rate for midwife-patients only and it is not an "apples-to-apples" comparison with the hospital-wide rates reported for other hospitals: since midwives care for lower-risk patients, their VBAC rate is likely to be higher than hospital-wide rates. (In fact, AMITA Health Adventist Medical Center Hinsdale has a lower-than-average VBAC rate overall.) You can learn more about this midwifery practice here.
Other options for midwife-attended VBAC at hospitals with above-average VBAC rates (but not reported rates "among the highest") are:
Advocate Sherman Hospital (Elgin)
AMITA Health Saints Mary & Elizabeth (Chicago)
Northwestern Medicine Prentice Women's Hospital (Chicago)
OSF Little Company of Mary (Evergreen Park)
West Suburban Medical Center (Oak Park)
West Suburban Alternative Birthing Center (Oak Park)
Options if you've had two prior c-sections (VBA2+C)
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists takes the position that VBAC can be a safe and appropriate choice for some women who have had two prior cesarean births. Not all providers offer the option of VBAC to women who have had more than one c-section, but several do — including a number of the hospitals with the highest VBAC rates. If you've had two cesarean deliveries before this pregnancy, you may still have the option of a vaginal birth this time around, depending on the reasons for your past c-sections and other factors. The following hospitals are good places to start if this is something you'd like to pursue. Again, different providers will have different criteria for a trial of labor after two c-sections: just because one provider says no doesn't necessarily mean they all will.
Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital (Barrington)
Advocate Lutheran General Hospital (Chicago)
Humboldt Park Health (Chicago)
NorthShore University HealthSystem Evanston Hospital (Evanston)
OSF Health Care Little Company of Mary Medical Center (Chicago)
Silver Cross Hospital (New Lenox)
Option for VBAC in a midwife-led birth center
There are four midwife-led birth centers in the Chicago area: The Birth Center of Chicago, Burr Ridge Birth Center, The Birth Center at PCC and the Alternative Birthing Center (or "ABC") at West Suburban Hospital. The first three are freestanding birth centers and Illinois regulations currently do not allow them to take VBAC patients. But the ABC at West Suburban Hospital is an in-hospital birth center and is equipped to handle VBACs. (Note that West Suburban also has a standard labor and delivery service where midwives also practice.) As a midwife-led birth center, the West Sub ABC follows the midwifery model of care, avoiding intervention whenever possible and offering hands-on support from providers who are experts in natural childbirth. Telemetry monitoring is available and the midwives are skilled at using positioning to help your labor along.
About the VBAC rates reported on BirthGuide
Providers are listed on BirthGuide as having a risk-adjusted VBAC rate that is "among the highest" if their VBAC rate is one standard deviation or more above the average rate for all hospitals listed on BirthGuide. (BirthGuide lists all maternity hospitals in Cook, Dupage and Lake counties that were included in the Illinois Department of Public Health's "Illinois Health Report Card" as of 2/14/2019.) On the mobile version of the site, these providers' VBAC rates are listed as "high".
The VBAC rates used in this calculation come from the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH), which reports the VBAC rates for all Illinois hospitals. The IDPH VBAC rates reflect the number of women who have had at least one prior c-section in the past and who then have a vaginal birth at that hospital in the reporting year, divided by the number of all women who gave birth at that hospital in that year who have had at least one prior c-section. So the VBAC rate takes into account both the women who try for a VBAC and the women with a history of c-section who schedule a repeat cesarean with this pregnancy. The VBAC rates reported by IDPH are risk-adjusted.
Some providers also self-report their VBAC success rate. The VBAC success rate is the percentage of all women who choose a trial of labor who ultimately have a vaginal birth. That rate will be much higher than the overall VBAC rate because it considers only the population of women who qualify for and elect to try for VBAC, without taking into account women who are scheduled for a repeat c-section.
The highest overall VBAC rates will reflect both that a high percentage of women are offered a trial of labor and that skilled support helps a high percentage of those to succeed.

Q: noting is working in catch block in node js i have a simple express server in which i have function, in this function i try to access data from mongoDB , here is the code
const  test =async()=>{
try{
    const data = await User.findOne({_id: "1234"})
}catch(err){
    const data = await User.findOne({_id: "4567"})
}

in this function, try block is working fine but whenever error occurs code inside catch block is not working, i have try return and console.log() in catch block which is also not working, here is code
catch(err){
   console.log("hello")
}

or
catch(err){
   return "hello"
}

nothing is not working in catch block, i cant understand this problem please help me
Edit
the above code is simple example of my problem the actual code is following
router.post("/", async (req, res) => {
  const data = req.body;
  data.time = new Date();
  data._id = uniqid();
  data.orderStatus = "Pending";
  const tradeData = await TradePara.create(data);
  try {
     algoTrade(data);
  } catch (err) {
    console.log(err);
  }
});

i am facing issue with the algoTrade function, inside this function i am calling some apis with axios

A: I see the issue with your code in comments. The issue is that catch block is not implemented to catch error thrown by try block hence the code terminates use it like this

router.post("/", async (req, res) => {
    const data = req.body;
    data.time = new Date();
    data._id = uniqid();
    data.orderStatus = "Pending";
    const tradeData = await TradePara.create(data);
    try {
        algoTrade(data);
    } catch(e) {
        console.log("not working", e);
    }
});

instead of using catch{}, implement catch block.

Is Luke Skywalker destined to die in the next "Star Wars" movie? A new Instagram from the actor playing the last Jedi hints that it's possible.
Mark Hamill, who has played the lightsaber-wielding protagonist since the original 1977 film, made only a very small but important appearance in the last film, "The Force Awakens." It seems like he's going to be a major player in "Episode VIII," but Hamill has made a series of comments suggesting that he's out of the series after that.
"Saying goodbye is hard when you've had the time of your life," he wrote in an Instagram caption posted from the movie's wrap party. "I can't thank the cast and crew enough, I couldn't have done it without you."
Sure, he could just be saying goodbye to the people he worked with on this movie, until they get the gang back together for "Episode IX," but it could also be a giveaway that Luke is going to meet his end.
Hamill's dealt with this worry before. He made a joke about being "out of work" at a charity event last month, prompting the same fears that Luke's a goner, and then had to dissuade them fans who were freaking out.
The actor tweeted that people were overreacting. "I meant 'out of work' because #Ep8 is wrapping soon, OK? #DontOverThinkEVERYTHING."
In other words, Hamill finds your lack of faith disturbing.
But wait, here's another theory that throws everything into question: It's reasonable to assume that he might return as a Force Ghost in the following film even if he does die in "Episode VIII." So even if Hamill is coming back for "Episode IX," he might still die in "Episode VIII."

Biosimilar Regulatory Roundup: November 2022
In November, several global agencies progressed insulin biosimilars, the European Union approved another ranibizumab biosimilar, and a US Senate bill to rid switching study requirements for interchangeability was introduced to Congress.
In November, several global agencies progressed insulin biosimilars, the European Union approved another ranibizumab biosimilar, and a US Senate bill to rid switching study requirements for interchangeability was introduced in Congress.
Progress for Insulin Biosimilars
The FDA granted an interchangeability designation to Eli Lilly's Rezvoglar, an insulin glargine biosimilar referencing Lantus. The biosimilar was originally approved in December 2021 and is the second insulin glargine biosimilar and the fourth biosimilar overall to receive an interchangeability designation.
Most recently, Capstone Development Services Company announced the Canadian approval of its human insulin biosimilar. The company also received a positive opinion from the European Medicines Agency's Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use, sending it to the European Commission for final review before approval.
Other Regulatory Approvals
In addition to human insulin, the European Union approved Ximluci, the third biosimilar referencing Lucentis (ranibizumab) to be approved by the European Commission. The biosimilar was created through a partnership between STADA Arzneimittel and Xbrane Biopharma and would be used to treat several retinal conditions, including age-related macular degeneration and macular edema.
In Australia, Alvotech obtained regulatory approval for its adalimumab biosimilar referencing Humira (AVT02). It is the seventh adalimumab biosimilar and the 43rd overall to be approved by the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration. AVT02 will be marked under 2 names (Ciptunec, Ardalicip) when it enters the market.
Another global approval hailed from China, where the National Medical Products Administration approved Boyobei, the first biosimilar referencing Xgeva/Prolia (denosumab) to receive regulatory approval around the world. The product was developed by Luye Pharma Group in conjunction with Boan Biotech for the treatment of postmenopausal women with osteoporosis at increased risk of fracture.
The news accompanied the announcement of 2 Canadian launches from Organon, a bevacizumab biosimilar and a trastuzumab biosimilar, and the announcement that Optum Rx was going to add 3 adalimumab biosimilars to formulary at parity with Humira.
Bills and Regulatory Policy
In Congress, the Biosimilar Red Tape Elimination Act was introduced in the Senate. The bill is seeking to increase patient access to biosimilars by making it easier for companies to obtain an interchangeability designation for biosimilars.
For biosimilars to be deemed interchangeable, in most cases, the biosimilar must be tested in costly and timely switching studies. If the bill becomes law, the switching study requirement for interchangeability would be removed.
Furthermore, the FDA launched a biosimilar regulatory science program, which is expected to help progress biosimilar development and simplfy the evaluation process for interchangeability status. The program enables the FDA to make a myriad of changes that Sarfaraz K. Niazi, PhD, argued signals a noteworthy shift in the agency's priorities. Niazi broke down the changes and their significance in the most recent installment of his column.
Finally, for a podcast episode of Not So Different, The Center for Biosimilars® interviewed Craig Burton, senior vice president of policy and strategic alliances at the Association for Accessible Medicines, about recent actions from the Biden Administration regarding biosimilars and whether they do enough to help biosimilar competition and adoption.
Burton discussed the impact of the reauthorization of the Biosimilars User Fee Act of 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act, the FDA's October Workshop, the federal investigation into pharmacy benefit manager practices, and the president's public commitment to investing in biotechnology.

Q: How do I customize knockout mapping creation in nested model? Completely new to Knockout and I am trying to map a JSON response from the server to specific models using the knockout mapping plugin.  The models are nested and I'm trying to override object construction using the create callback even in the nested models.  However, it doesn't appear that my mapping options are being read properly.  Example JSON:
{
    "EmployeeFeedbackRequestSubmissions": [

                        },

                }
            ]
        }
        // more EmployeeFeedbackRequestSubmissions
    ]
}

Mapping options:
var mappingOptions = {
    // overriding default creation/initialization code
    'EmployeeFeedbackRequestSubmissions': {
        create: function (options) {
            return (new(function () {
                this.EmployeeHeading = ko.computed(function () {
                    return "Performance Evaluation Employee: " + this.Employee();
                }, this);

                ko.mapping.fromJS(options.data, {}, this);
            })());
        },
            'EmployeesWorkedWith': {
            create: function (options) {
                return new instance.EmployeesWorkedWithModel(options.data);
            }
        }
    }
};

Sample fiddle with full example: http://jsfiddle.net/jeades/9ejJq/2/
The result should be the ability to use the computed nameUpper from the EmployeesWorkedWithModel.  I'm also open to suggestions about a better way to do this as this may not be the best way to handle this.

A: You were almost there.  Straight to it working: http://jsfiddle.net/jiggle/na93A/
The mappings options object doesn't need to be nested, the mapping plug in will look up the mapping from the name, when you pass them to ko.mapping.fromJSON
So your mapping options object should be single level:
    var self = this;

    self.mappingOptions = {
        // overriding default creation/initialization code
        'EmployeeFeedbackRequestSubmissions': {
            create: function (options) {
                return (new(function () {
                    this.EmployeeHeading = ko.computed(function () {
                        return "Performance Evaluation Employee: " + this.Employee();
                    }, this);

                    ko.mapping.fromJS(options.data, self.mappingOptions, this);
                })());
            }
        },
        'EmployeesWorkedWith': {
                create: function (options) {
                   // return new instance.EmployeesWorkedWithModel(options);
                    return (new(function(){
                        ko.mapping.fromJS(options.data, {}, this);

                        this.nameUpper = ko.computed(function () {
                            return this.EmployeeName().toUpperCase();
                        }, this);
                    })());
                }
        }

    };

Notice I have used "self" as your local reference to 'this' instead of 'instance', just to make the code easier to read (as you used 'instance' in the main viewmodel).
I have also made the mappingOptions object part of the FeedbackViewModel, as we need to pass this into the mapping.fromJS call so when it sees the 'EmployeesWorkedWith' level in the data it will have the mappingOptions for it.
From:
ko.mapping.fromJS(options.data, {}, this);

To:
ko.mapping.fromJS(options.data, self.mappingOptions, this);

You can then move your creation code for 'EmployeesWorkedWith' level into the create (you could call a function, but I've kept it together in the mappingOptions as shown above, like the way you were creating the 'EmployeeFeedbackRequestSubmissions' level.
You can then get rid of the instance.EmployeesWorkedWithModel function altogether.
A working fiddle can be found here:
http://jsfiddle.net/jiggle/na93A/
Alternatively, you could create separate mappingOptions object when you are in the create for 'EmployeeFeedbackRequestSubmissions' and not have the mappings for all levels in one object, which can be seen in this fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/jiggle/Avam7/
Depends on your coding style which way you prefer, and would be important to separate them out if you had different mapping needs for different levels and they had the same collection name.
eg.

Employees

Employee

Employees (you might need different computeds, etc. at this level)

If so, you would use the second option (separate the mappingOptions and pass to the level that will use it)
I've added some console.log statements to the fiddles so you can see values as the code runs in the console, which will help to understand how it's working.
Hope it helps.

A: Nice thing with ko.mapping is how automated the process can be.
Check out the results in http://jsfiddle.net/9ejJq/26/
You'll note how we only use one declared mapping to kick things off.
feedbackMappingOptions = {
    create: function (options) {
        return new FeedbackViewModel(options.data);
    }
};

From there on, each view model triggers a mapping for their child objects. You could go as far as creating a mapping option for each or, as you see for the final ProjectsWorked object under the EmployeesWorkedWith, we just throw the data right at a mapping and ko.mapping does the rest. Hope this helped.

Q: min value from two columns (Oracle SQL) Searching for a while now, but haven't found a suitable answer to my problem.
Explanation:

ID | Year |  Factor1 | Number1 | Number2
1  | 2010 |   213    |    1     |   1
2  | 2010 |   213    |    1     |   2
3  | 2010 |   214    |    2     |   1
4  | 2010 |   214    |    2     |   2
6  | 2010 |   210    |    3     |   1
7  | 2010 |   210    |    3     |   2
8  | 2011 |   250    |    3     |   5
5  | 2012 |   214    |    2     |   4

EDIT:
Forgot Something, corrected that in the above table.
I need 2 combinations: year and factor1 only once, then min(number1) and last min(number2).
For example above I would need IDs 1,3,5,6,8 (sorry they are mixed for better readability of the other values).
Anyone any idea how to realize that?

A: SELECT id , year, number1, number2
FROM @table A
WHERE number1 IN (SELECT MIN(number1) FROM @table WHERE year = A.year)
OR number2 IN (SELECT MIN(number2) FROM @table WHERE year = A.year)

where @table is your table

A: Got the code now from another forum, works fine for me:

SELECT
  tab.*
FROM
  t33 tab
  INNER JOIN (
    SELECT
      m1.y,
      m1.factor1,
      m1.min_1,
      m2.min_2
    FROM
      (
        SELECT
          y,
          factor1,
          MIN(number1) AS min_1
        FROM
          t33 tab
        GROUP BY
          y,
          factor1
      ) m1
      INNER JOIN (
        SELECT
              y,
              factor1,
              number1,
              MIN(number2) AS min_2
            FROM
              t33
            GROUP BY
              y,
              factor1,
              number1
        ) m2
      ON m1.y = m2.y
      AND m1.factor1 = m2.factor1
      AND m1.min_1 = m2.number1
    ) sel
      ON tab.y = sel.y
      AND tab.factor1 = sel.factor1
      AND tab.number1 = sel.min_1
      AND tab.number2 = sel.min_2

A: OK, so something like this?
delete from mb_test
where ID not in
   ( select id
     from mb_test mbt
         ,(select year, min(number1) as min1, min(number2) as min2
           from mb_test
           group by year) mb_mins
     where mbt.year = mb_mins.year
     and   (mbt.number1 = mb_mins.min1 OR mbt.number2 = mb_mins.min2)
   )
