Restrictive Healthcare Policies Associated With Delayed TB Diagnosis and Treatment
The introduction of policies that restrict healthcare access for visitors and migrants not entitled to free NHS care may be associated with delays in diagnosis and treatment for patients with tuberculosis (TB) who were not born in the UK, according to a study published in the open access journal BMC Public Health. Delays in diagnosis and treatment of an infectious disease like TB may increase morbidity and mortality for infected individuals, as well as transmission in the community.
In 2014, the UK government launched the NHS Visitor and Migrant Cost Recovery Programme (CRP) to recoup costs from 'chargeable' (largely non-UK born) patients not entitled to free NHS care. Researchers at Queen Mary University of London, UK investigated a possible association between the introduction of the CRP and diagnostic and treatment delays in subsequent years.
Jessica Potter, the corresponding author said, "This study provides novel data showing an association with delayed diagnosis and treatment of an infectious disease -- tuberculosis -- among people not born in the UK with the roll out of government policy designed to restrict healthcare access for some migrants. These findings are despite the fact that infectious diseases are exempt from charging."
The authors analysed data on 2,237 TB cases notified between 2011 and 2016 on the London TB Register across Barts Health NHS trust, which serves three East London boroughs and treats over 500 patients with TB each year, representing about 10% of cases in England.
They found that among non-UK born patients, median time to treatment - the average number of days between the date of symptom onset and the date of starting treatment - increased from 69 to 89 days following the introduction of CRP. Non-UK born patients were also more likely to experience a delay in diagnosis after introduction of the CRP. The number of years migrants had been living in the UK before diagnosis was found to increase from 10 years before to 14.8 years after the CRP was introduced.
A number of mechanisms may underlie the association between treatment and diagnostic delays and health policies, such as the CRP, which aim to restrict access to care based on migration status, according to the authors. Previous research has suggested that migrants in the UK are often not aware of their entitlement to care and patients' concerns about being charged for care may delay them seeking health advice, even before diagnosis.
The authors suggest that while the study area is small geographically, the findings may be applicable to other areas within England which have similar migrant populations and have been subject to similar policies as the East London boroughs examined in this study. They caution that the observational nature of the study does not allow for conclusions about cause and effect. Nevertheless, the findings show an important association that warrants further investigation.
Potter said, "Whilst we have demonstrated an association and not proven causality, we provide a convincing argument for more research in this area and contribute to the growing body of evidence that restricting healthcare access to some has public health implications for us all."

The 25 Best SNL Holiday Sketches
Ferry Madden 4 weeks ago
The holidays are a particular time round 30 Rock. While vacationers flock to see the towering Christmas tree, the Saturday Night Live writers room is busy pondering of vacation sketches you'll reminisce about as you place up the stockings for years to come back. Some of SNL's all-time nice sketches illustrate the most effective of the vacation spirit or lack thereof as present's greatest stars typically shined the brightest simply earlier than the New Year.
From unlikely Santas to unorthodox gift-giving, we're taking a look at 25 of our favourite Saturday Night Live vacation sketches. We'll be moving into chronological order right here. There is a giant dose of contemporary stuff in there, however what can I say? The present is perhaps extra miss than hit as of late, however they actually hit it out of the park 12 months after 12 months with the Christmas sketches.
Santi-Wrap (1976)
Very early within the present's run, we get this basic the place an grownup lady (Laraine Newman) is all about sitting on Santa's lap like when she was a bit child. The preliminary chuckle is that earlier than sitting down, she places items of bathroom paper on Santa's leg for defense, like one would do in a public lavatory. Dan Aykroyd, her companion on this journey, appears shocked by this. Not that she's making an attempt to guard herself from germs, however as a result of she's not going far sufficient!
Suddenly, it seems to be a business for Santi-Wrap, a festive and plasticky tackle bathroom seat covers. Not solely do these two promote the product idea so properly, however John Belushi because the mall Santa pushes it additional by coming off as an entire catastrophe of a person who might be riddled with illness.
cnx.cmd.push(perform()
cnx(
playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530",
).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796");
One of the present's all-time greatest line deliveries is Belushi's drunken, "Ho ho ho…" which has each defiant gusto and the sense that he's seconds away from vomiting throughout himself.
Mr. Robinson's Christmas (1984)
Saturday Night Live has been a stepping stone to superstardom ever since Chevy Chase turned a family identify throughout its first season. In the 80s, Eddie Murphy's recurring roles on SNL helped increase his profile as he finally turned one in all, if not the most important star of the last decade. It was round Christmas time when Murphy's spin on Mister Rogers' Neighborhood turned one of many sketches that got here to outline his tenure at Studio 8H.
Mr. Robinson's neighborhood isn't fairly as good as Mister Rogers' however at Christmas time it's important to make the most effective with what you've. Mr. Robinson was in a position to do this with a piece of lettuce and a headless doll and Murphy was in a position to take advantage of each alternative he had on SNL.
It's a Wonderful Life: The Lost Ending (1986)
If you've seen the 1946 American Christmas basic It's A Wonderful Life, odds are you've been impressed by its heart-warming ending. Thanks to SNL and host William Shatner, we now have footage of the "fabled" misplaced ending to Frank Capra's Christmas epic and it's something however heartwarming. Rather than finish the movie with everybody coming to George Bailey's assist in his time of want and celebrating his lifetime of selflessness and kindness, it decides to offer Mr. Potter a destiny extra express than being doomed to failure and loneliness. Phil Hartman pops in as Uncle Billy and never solely remembers what occurred to the lacking cash, however is aware of precisely who has it!
Dana Carvey makes the sketch as a George Bailey hell-bent on revenge. It simply wouldn't be Christmas with out seeing him give Mr. Potter a beat down alongside his bloodthirsty family members.
Master Thespian Plays Santa Claus (1987)
Jon Lovitz's characters had been normally very hammy by design. Whether he was a pathological liar or the Devil himself, he all the time went to 11. One of his higher recurring characters was Master Thespian, a scene-chewing Shakespearean actor who takes himself and his roles far too critically.
In this installment, he could be taking part in the position of a mall Santa Claus.
Thespian doesn't appear to have heard of Santa, however he's down for the half. Finding out that there's no precise script, he improvises and figures out the character by way of making errors and getting scolded by the Macy's supervisor (performed by Phil Hartman, selecting to base his efficiency on Frank Nelson as a result of why not). To his shock, Santa Claus truly LIKES youngsters! These are notes a performer must know, man!
Seeing him play off the youngsters and Hartman is a blast. Speaking of which, one of many higher gags is a fart joke that by some means proves how nice an actor Master Thespian really is. THANK YOUUUUUU!
Hanukkah Harry (1989)
Santa Claus (Phil Hartman) is violently in poor health with the flu, so it appears Christmas is perhaps cancelled. Luckily, there's one man able to fulfilling his obligations by way of the identical type of vacation magic. Hanukkah Harry (Jon Lovitz), Santa's Jewish counterpart, is named in to assist.
At its core, it's a prolonged sketch about Jewish jokes and the way lame Hanukkah is outdoors of it lasting eight days. Springing off of that, it truly makes for a extremely good, if a bit touching, vacation story. There are particular laughs in there, however what was created to be a parody hits a bit too shut and turns into a real gem celebrating each holidays and the spirit of togetherness.
"On Moishe! On Herschel! On Schlomo!"
Motivational Santa (1993)
What began as a pep discuss for troubled teenagers changed into Chris Farley's iconic recurring character. Matt Foley, the thrice-divorced, sweaty, obese man who lived in a van down by the river, crashed into our residing rooms in 1993 and remained a fixture on SNL till Farley was fired from the present in 1995.
Sometimes a sketch is so profitable that the writers are nearly compelled to deliver a number of of its characters round once more and Matt Foley was no exception. In one of many funnier occasions Matt Foley returned, he was employed to unfold Christmas cheer as a motivational mall Santa, providing up this gem:
"'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the van
Your ol' buddy Matt fell asleep on the can.
His youngsters had been nestled two time zones away,
With his first spouse and her husband, in sunny L.A.
Matt awoke and realized with a chill and a quiver
That he was residing in a van down by the river!"
Though lots of the identical jokes and bodily gags are recycled, Farley's effort, from the painfully excessive pitch of his voice to crashing down the chimney, earns the Motivational Santa a spot in SNL Christmas lore.
Adam Sandler's Hanukkah Song (1994)
Yes, we've heard Adam Sandler's "The Hanukkah Song" one million occasions over, however we shouldn't let that cloud our judgement. It's one of many first clips that pops into your head whenever you suppose "SNL Holiday Sketches" and it'll go down as a landmark second when the historical past of "Weekend Update" is written 200 years from now. Sandler didn't use his time to evoke pictures of being a Jew at Christmas, moderately he selected to reward the Festival of Lights and name-drop all of the well-known individuals who have fun it. Since debuting the music in 1994, Sandler's up to date it for his comedy albums and standup routine and given Jewish children one thing aside from "The Dreidel Song" to belt throughout in the course of the holidays. Sandler's intelligent, unique second is about as influential because it will get for any not-ready-for-prime time participant.
It did result in the film Eight Crazy Nights, so it isn't free from sin.
TV Funhouse: Fun with Real Audio (1997)
It's uncommon for SNL to get poignant, however right here's a improbable instance. In this animated quick, Jesus Christ returns to Earth and spends the primary opening minutes being ignored and shoved into the background for arguing with televangelists who use his identify to line their pockets with donations or to justify their hatred of homosexuals. These bits are, in fact, animated over precise audio of stated actual life sociopaths. Jesus is ready to give them their simply desserts along with his divine magic, however it bums him out.
Walking the town streets, unnoticed by the general public at massive, Jesus watches Christmas-themed TV by way of a retailer window and is disenchanted with what he sees. That is, till he comes throughout Linus' speech on the finish of A Charlie Brown Christmas and we get a ultimate second that's cute, uplifting, and fairly hilarious.
NPR'S Delicious Dish: Schweddy Balls (1998)
The dry, NPR-host banter between Ana Gasteyer's Margaret Jo McCullen — who cheerfully admits that she leaves faucet water and rice out for Santa as a result of "Christmas foods really wreak havoc on the ol' digestive system" — and Molly Shannon's Teri Rialto as they discuss delectable Yuletide "balls" with Alec Baldwin's Pete Schweddy is a can't-miss skit. The trio makes monotone an artwork type, whereas remaining devoted to the naivety of the characters concerned. (In response to Alec Baldwin's, "But the thing I most like to bring out this time of year are my balls," their faces barely twitch.) It's double entendre at its most interesting, and by no means fails to go away me in stitches.
Pete Schweddy returned in one other episode the place he launched the ladies to his hotdogs, however having them present a lot curiosity in placing his wiener of their mouths was a bit too straightforward a joke to tug off.
I Wish It Was Christmas Today (2000-the warmth loss of life of the universe)
On one December episode, there was a brief section of Horatio Sanz, Jimmy Fallon, Chris Kattan, and Tracy Morgan taking part in a catchy, albeit extremely silly music about Christmas being on the best way. Sanz performed a thin guitar whereas singing, Fallon sometimes pressed an elephant noise button on the keyboard, Kattan held the keyboard whereas shaking his head, and Morgan danced with a glance on his face like he bought dragged on stage towards his will. It was foolish and would have most likely been forgotten quickly after.
Instead, they returned every week later and insisted on taking part in it once more regardless of being explicitly advised to not. Soon they'd begin taking part in it throughout non-December months to point out Christmas' superiority over different holidays. After Simon Cowell insulted the group, he sheepishly agreed that he needed to hitch them and broke out some maracas. One 12 months, when Sanz was the one one left within the solid, he changed his buddies with Fozzie Bear, Gonzo, and Animal whereas Kermit the Frog danced in a manner that it's important to marvel if a Muppet is able to snorting coke.
The music nonetheless will get introduced out at times, normally on Fallon's present. It's even been lined by Julian Casablancas and Cheap Trick of all individuals!
They did sing a totally totally different Christmas music one time, however no person cared.
Glengarry Glen Elf: Christmas Motivation (2005)
Alec Baldwin appears to be the go-to host for traditional Christmas sketches. Playing on his iconic Glengarry Glen Ross character Blake, Baldwin (in a manner) reprises the position as 615-year-old "elf from the home office" despatched to straighten out the subpar work of Santa's elves. There couldn't have been a extra excellent break in character than when Baldwin says "Always Be Closing" as a substitute of "Always Be Cobbling" as scripted. It's a slip-up that makes for an ideal vacation sketch, filled with deep-bellied laughs.
TV Funhouse: Christmastime for the Jews (2005)
Not solely is the witty "Christmas for the Jews" written by comedy legend Robert Smigel, however it's sung by David Letterman's Christmas angel Darlene Love. In "Christmas for the Jews," the characters see "Fiddler on the Roof," seize an early dinner, and luxuriate in dreamland Daily Show reruns. It's an intriguing and catchy have a look at the opposite aspect of the Christmas season, full with a really Rankin-Bass animation fashion.
Digital Short: Dick in a Box (2006)
Justin Timberlake is likely one of the most entertaining, versatile hosts that SNL has been gifted. A member of their prestigious Five-Timers Club, "Dick in a Box" is Timberlake's most memorable sketch, stuffed with skeevy, disgusting come-ons from Andy Samberg and Timberlake, which has been considered simply hundreds of thousands and hundreds of thousands of occasions. In 2006, Timberlake had already impressed critics and viewers alike along with his appearing vary in Alpha Dog, however his comedic activates SNL solidified him as an actor. Timberlake has accomplished plenty of spectacular issues in his time as an entertainer, however there are few extra satisfying (or laughable) than "Dick in a Box."
These two R&B weirdos would return in a while to sleep with one another's mothers as reciprocated Mother's Day presents and later swear that being in a two-guy/one-girl three-way isn't thought of homosexual.
John Malkovich Reads 'Twas the Night Before Christmas (2008)
As quipped by the person himself, nobody emits Christmas spirit fairly like John Malkovich. This admission yields the self-reflexive irony of Malkovich studying "The Night Before Christmas" to the youngsters of SNL's workers. Malkovich, pausing throughout his studying of the vacation basic, asks the youngsters concerning the suicide price rising in the course of the holidays, speaking about how capturing a house invader in California is "perfectly legal," musing about how the tonnage of Santa's sleigh and reindeer would (scientifically talking) burst into flames, how in Portugal their model of Saint Nicholas steals youngsters's toes, in addition to reciting the gem: "You know what they say about hopes; they're what we cling to when reality has left us nothing else." If you're in a lighthearted Christmas temper, Malkovich's monologue is actually one to get pleasure from.
Stefon on Holiday Travel (2010)
Bill Hader was extremely revered for his versatility and vary throughout his time at SNL, however it was his improvisational expertise that turned a Weekend Update bit right into a must-see recurring section. Stefon, probably the defining character for SNL in the course of the 2010s to date, knowledgeable New Yorkers and vacationers alike of the town's hottest nightclubs – with Hader nearly all the time breaking down in laughter as his cue playing cards had been regularly modified from the rehearsal to throw him off.
Stefon knew find out how to get bizarre and you may think about he'd avoid wasting enjoyable issues for the a "classic New York holiday." Make positive to take a look at the Lower, Lower East Side dump hosted by Tranderson Cooper or discover a membership with the correct amount of Puerto Rican Screeches or Gay Aladdins. Just don't run over the Human Parking Cones.
Stefon would return with extra Christmastime perception three years later, the place he'd focus on a membership known as [loud Tauntaun noises], based by Jewish cartoon character Menorah the Explorer.
Under-Underground Crunkmas Karnival (2010)
Good God, I want there have been extra Under-Underground Records sketches. As a parody of the Gathering of the Juggalos, we'd commonly see DJ Supersoak (Jason Sudeikis) and Lil Blaster (Nasim Pedrad) excitedly discuss up big live performance occasions which might be needlessly violent and inexplicable of their randomness. For occasion, there's the Crunkmas Karnival, which options such musical acts as Dump, Boys II Dicks, Scrotum Fire, and…Third Eye Blind for some purpose.
It's only a bunch of loud humor that goes forwards and backwards between being stupidly hardcore and being meekly out of left discipline. Yes, you'll be able to go try a "dong tug-of-war," however you may also see a particular 2D screening of the Owls of Ga'hoole or meet Spaceballs star Pizza the Hut. Not to say the return of their most fondly remembered working gag, the limitless timeless and dying of Ass Dan.
This Christmas-based occasion will happen in February. Sounds about proper.
Every at times, SNL will do a sketch in the direction of the tip of the present the place the visitor will speak about whichever vacation is developing and awkwardly go into one of many elements of it, equivalent to Easter eggs or Halloween sweet. In this occasion, it's Steve Buscemi unloading a field of Christmas ornaments and commenting on every one. All the whereas, Kristen Wiig performs Sheila, his girlfriend who seems to be greater than a bit off and doesn't fairly grasp tree adorning.
Buscemi's descriptions vary from pleasant non-humor to outlandish and disturbing. He would possibly make an deliberately lame joke about one decoration earlier than holding up one other and matter-of-factly letting you recognize that, "I put this one up my butt."
And by some means he's nonetheless the straight man on this bit.
You're a Rat Bastard Charlie Brown (2012)
This sketch is centered on Bill Hader taking part in Al Pacino, taking part in Charlie Brown. The remainder of the solid seems bang-up impressions as properly: Jason Sudeikis taking part in Philip Seymour Hoffman taking part in Pigpen, Kate McKinnon as Edie Falco taking part in Lucy (as Charlie Brown's drug peddling therapist, inflicting a holiday-blues Charlie to say, "Oh yeah…I want something to take me sky high!"), Martin Short taking part in Larry David taking part in Linus, Taran Killam doing Michael Keaton as Schroeder, and Cecily Strong as Fran Drescher as Charlie Brown's mom, all carried out in entrance of a baffled childhood viewers.
For anybody who grew up watching Charlie Brown and Co., watching Bill Hader/Al Pacino/Charlie Brown unleash the expletive-laden "You're gonna hold that f***ing football?!" in the direction of Kate McKinnion/Edie Falco/Lucy, and saying, "Ow, you bitch!" after she pulls it away is totally to die for.
Jebidiah Atkinson on Holiday Movies (2013)
For a time, Taran Killam performed Jebidiah Atkinson, a Weekend Update character based mostly on how an outdated newspaper editorial was found that panned Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. Atkinson, by some means nonetheless alive, would seem and browse evaluate snippets about different huge speeches he hated.
One of his return appearances had him focus on vacation specials and flicks. Every single one in all them he hates. Every single one in all them will get roasted. His vicious vitality is so over-the-top that the great jokes land and the dangerous jokes nonetheless get amusing from the misplaced confidence. Over these a number of minutes, he screams about how a lot of a miserable bore A Charlie Brown Christmas is, how the Grinch stole a half hour of his life, and the way each time they play It's a Wonderful Life, an angel blows its brains out.
This one is admittedly a bit dated with its greatest joke, the place his distaste for Snoopy is so nice that he needs Family Guy killed him off as a substitute of Brian. The horror from the viewers nonetheless makes it value it.
St. Joseph's Christmas Mass Spectacular (2014)
Ah, Christmas Mass. The drum solo for each childhood throughout Christmas time. It's uncomfortable and particularly boring. Ergo, liven it up by framing it as a giant, in-your-face occasion by way of what quantities to a monster truck rally business!
It's a superb use of distinction. Take an occasion that's so mundane with so many acquainted and shared experiences and deal with it prefer it's some excessive factor. The familiarity of the pastor making corny jokes that get essentially the most minor of guffaws is handled like a once-in-a-lifetime occasion. It shines a lightweight on the bizarre tics of the distinguished individuals you see at church and feels amazingly common.
The SNL solid is improbable right here, however the MVP is Cecily Strong because the middle-age lady who's manner into doing a studying within the loudest, most overly articulate talking voice attainable.
Sump'N Claus (2014)
Getting presents from Santa Claus is nice and all, however whenever you develop up, you understand how arduous it really is to be good all 12 months spherical. Luckily, there's an alternate. Introduced by way of an especially catchy music, we meet Sump'n Claus (Keenan Thompson), a pimp-like offshoot of Santa who not solely used to work for St. Nick, but additionally seems to have some filth on him.
Sump'n Claus sings a number of verses about individuals who have had breakdowns and could be thrown onto the naughty record. Sump'n Claus doesn't care about that. You be you. Every December, he'll nonetheless be there at hand you an envelope filled with twenties and fifties. He's the vacation mascot for adults, principally.
One of the highlights is how he mentions that Santa will not be your good friend as mates don't watch you whilst you're sleeping.
The Christmas Candle (2016)
Christmas has been saved by many alternative issues: ghosts who see by way of time, an angel making an attempt to earn his wings, a reindeer's glowing nostril, New Yorkers singing "Santa Claus is Coming to Town," and so forth. Then once more, generally you want a savior for one thing with decrease stakes.
In the type of a mid-Nineties all women group that provides me type of a Celine Dion vibe, we're given an exquisite music that begins with the story of a lady who needed to get a coworker a present for Secret Santa. She discovered an outdated peach candle in her closet and simply gave her that. The second verse is the same state of affairs the place not solely is a peach candle given as a throwaway reward to an acquaintance, however it's THE SAME candle. Yes, by some means this one peach candle is re-gifted throughout the globe by way of latter December by girls and homosexual males who couldn't be bothered to place thought into their presents.
Truly a miracle.
First Impression (2018)
Beck Bennett performs a man about to lastly meet his girlfriend's (Melissa Villaseñor) mother and father and he's nervous as hell. She assures him that he'll be nice, however he actually needs to impress them. Sure sufficient, he tries to impress them within the weirdest manner by hiding someplace in the home and talking in a high-pitched voice so as to dare them to seek out him. Her mother and father (Jason Momoa and Heidi Gardner) are notably confused, as is she.
It's already an odd and foolish bit, however Jason Momoa shifts it into gear by out of the blue being COMPLETELY into it. Removing his jacket with function, Momoa excitedly begins looking out the home for this man. The indisputable fact that Momoa is taking part in an obese 60-year-old man is sufficient of a novelty, however he brings this oddball zest to the position as he begins to actually tear the house to items so as to get a have a look at his daughter's elusive boyfriend.
The boyfriend's plans listed here are each overly sophisticated and half-baked, culminating in an ending that's as comfortable because it's inexplicable and off-putting.
North Pole News Report (2019)
When Eddie Murphy returned to SNL, there was a lot fanfare. A very stable episode, it admittedly spent an excessive amount of of its runtime revisiting his outdated recurring classics like Mr. Robinson, Gumby, and Velvet Jones. The ultimate sketch of the evening goes full blast along with his manic vitality as he performs an elf eyewitness on the elf information, screaming bloody homicide a couple of horrible tragedy. Mikey Day is reporter Donny Chestnut, wanting on the destruction of a toy manufacturing facility. As he tries to make heads or tails of what's happening, Murphy bursts onto the scene, screaming a couple of polar bear attacking the elves and consuming them like Skittles. And simply screaming basically.
The greatest line comes from the elf (who retains declaring, "IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT MY NAME IS!") bringing over one of many survivors, and noting that, "This white, teenage elf girl ran out here, straight up to me – a black elf in sweatpants – and asked me to keep her safe. That's how bad it is!" Despite this elf being proper concerning the state of affairs, Donny Chestnut retains making an attempt to sideline him for being more and more erratic about Santa's potential position within the slaughter and what it means for Christmas. Even as he journeys over a few of his traces, Eddie Murphy is so rattling treasured right here.
AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!
December to Remember Car Commercial (2020)
It is perhaps in dangerous type to incorporate a sketch from this very 12 months, however man, this joke will not be solely lengthy overdue, however the appearing is high notch. Heidi Gardner's barely repressed rage is one thing particular.
You've seen the business one million occasions. It's Christmas morning and somebody reveals a model new automotive to a liked one. As a part of Lexus' December to Remember, Beck Bennett reveals a model new Lexus with a large bow to his spouse (Gardner) and their son (Timothée Chalamet). What initially seems as shock seems to be fury and confusion over what's a egocentric and short-sighted determination. Buying a automotive is a big deal and isn't one thing you don't inform your vital different. More than that, Bennett's character hasn't been employed for a couple of 12 months and a half and has no manner of affording such a factor. The thread is pulled away, unraveling each how a lot of an fool he's and the way doomed their household life occurs to be.
Then neighbor Mikey Day exhibits up and it hits one other degree. Beck Bennett is the knowledgeable at taking part in guys with misplaced confidence who haven't come near pondering issues by way of.

NOTHING IS BIGGER THAN IT LOOKS
NATURALIS VERITAS
TEMPUS MAXIMUS

OPÉRA MAGNA
The evolutionary history of Homo Sapiens is related to the number 216, the golden number and the system earth-sun
By human evolution, anthropogenesis or homination we mean the process of origin and evolution of Homo sapiens as a distinct species and its diffusion on Earth.
It is an interdisciplinary subject, which includes physiology, primatology, archeology, geology, linguistics and genetics. In a taxonomic sense it concerns, in addition to the genus Homo, all the species of the seven genera of the Hominina sub-tribe, of which man is the only living representative.
According to these sciences, the evolutionary history of our species is that of Homo Sapiens, which seems to have made its first appearance on Earth about 200,000 years ago.
If on Earth every animal and plant species follows time cycles with precision, it is plausible to think that humanity, as a whole, also follows a precise evolutionary cycle.
In this sense, my hypothesis is that there is a mathematical correlation between the number of years that have passed since the appearance of Homo Sapiens on Earth, the number of days that make up an Earth year, the natural number 216, and ϕ, the golden number.
In fact, we discover that (216K / ϕ) ^ (1/2) is equal to 365.37, which corresponds to the number of days that currently make up an earth year, plus 0.128, which in any case is consistent with reality, since in the past years it is assumed that the Earth took longer than today to revolve around the sun.
Alternatively, we can observe that, considering the average of the days that make up the Earth years of the last 216K years with the approximate value of 365.37, we obtain that from the mathematical relation ϕ (365.37) ^ 2 we obtain 216K.
What can we expect from Homo Sapiens when the value of 216K years from its appearance on Earth is reached?
02.02.2020, a World Palindrome Date Full of Meaning for All Humanity
02.02.2020, The World Palindrome Date
For fans of numbers and cabal, February 2, 2020 represents a very rare event that unites the whole world, because the date can be read in the same way both from the right and from the left in any way the day, month and year are arranged.
The dating system used by humanity is that of the year Anno Domini, which is based on the birth of Jesus Christ. It is conventionally used in all countries of the world. In the United States and Canada, the representation format is month / day / year, while in the rest of the world it is day / month / year.
Today is an event that unites all humanity and also represents a link between Judaism and Christianity.
In the Christian world, in fact, the date falls on the day of Candlemas, the so-called "feast of light", in honor of Jesus Christ "light of the world", the day on which for centuries it has been customary to bless candles. Its origin is linked to the presentation in the Temple of Jesus, that is, its first official public release. Even today, this is a mandatory event for all male firstborn children born to Jews.
To find another ambivalent palindrome it is necessary to go back to 11 November 1111 in the Middle Ages (11.11.1111), when the "American" date obviously did not exist, while the next one will be that of 12 December 2121 (12.12.2121) . This date is made up of only two digits, one and two repeating at regular intervals, as fascinating as that of the New Year of the 10s of the thousand century, a real binary code: 01.01.1010.
In this context, it is fundamental mentioning that according to 216-digits research, the evolution of our planet, that of life of men and women populating it, are associated with time within a non-linear dynamic, and are associated with the law π (x + y) (t-xy) = 69696, where π is considered to be the approximation computed by Archimedes from Syracuse for a 96-sided polygon, circumscribed to the circle, and 69696 is the largest palindrome number known by humanity to be at the same time square of a number and sum of two twin prime numbers.
This law of time indicates a numerical singularity in 2028AD, the year in which humanity will enter the so-called Imaginary Time.
For this reason, today is a singular day because hypothetically humanity will never again be able to share a world palindrome date in the Real Time.
Peppa Pig is 2.16 meters tall, Internet says.
In the summer 2019, someone posted a tweet suggesting that Peppa Pig, the young star of the long-running British animated children's TV series of the same name, is 7,1 feet tall which, converted in meters, is equal to 216 centimetres.
Whether this is the result of chance or a conspiracy is not obvious to everyone because few people know the meaning of the value 216.
When this information become public, the internet had quite a field day with it, though it is unclear whether or not it is true. The reports that this young animated pig is over 7 feet tall began after one viral tweet.
July 20 2019, Twitter user @Memeulous posted a screenshot from what appears to be a simple Google search. In it, Peppa's height was revealed to be an astounding and "terrifying" 7'1″.
Google Search on Peppa Pig Height
Of course, Peppa Pig's height has not been confirmed and we don't know that this young, animated star is really this tall. The magazine INSIDER reached out to Entertainment One, the company that currently owns "Peppa Pig," for comment but has not immediately heard back. Regardless, this new bit of information has resulted in a flurry of memes and jokes.
Some also realized that if we are to believe Peppa Pig is this tall, she would be the same height as NBA superstar Shaquille O'Neal and scouts should take notice.
In reality, 216 represents the 216-digits matrix and is a value that has many properties that explains the nature of time and the human being, as can be understood by consulting the 216-digits.com website.
In particular, from the analysis of the matrix, a numerical singularity is evident which will occur coinciding with the year 2028AD.
The fact that children under the age of 5 become familiar with the value 216 associating it with the height of Peppa Pig is a very original idea that could draw the attention of adults to the period we are experiencing and its meaning in history.

The tree of knowledge indicates that we are living the Apocalypse
Apocalypse means Revelation, Destruction or Accomplishment.
"In the history of the world, the foundation of a city and the birth of a human being have a metaphysical meaning.
Thus, for about 2000 years, the foundation of the "eternal" city and the birth of Jesus Christ have been linked by the same history, in a sort of parallelism of the measurement of time, through the diffusion of the religious doctrine for which they had been reached and overcome 264 successors after he who founded his Church on the stone.
Jesus Christ, the man who more than any other has marked the course of time, and Rome, the city that has implicitly lived all the contradictions of matter and spirit have a strongly linked past, which still lives in the present.
The Latin system considered the calculation of the years since the foundation of Rome. This was fixed at the traditional date of April 21st 753 before Christ.
It seems that Pope Boniface IV was the first to recognize the connection between the era of Ab Urbe Condita, calculated from the foundation of the city and from the Anno Domini era, calculated from the coming of Jesus Christ.
The calculations underlying the Anno Domini system were previously developed by a monk called Dionigi Il Piccolo, as a result of his work on the calculation of Easter by Pope John I.
According to his calculations, the incarnation of Jesus Christ took place in the year 753 from the foundation of Rome.
This year was therefore adopted as the year 1 after Christ on the Julian calendar. In later times, the Gregorian calendar became the official calendar of the Western world, taking the name of Pope Gregory XIII.
It's a solar calendar, based on the cycle of the seasons. The year consists of 12 months of different durations for a total of 365 or 366 days. The Gregorian calendar thus continues the numbering of the years of Julian.
The dating system according to the Anno Domini is currently dominant in most countries of the world. It has become the reference standard, approved by all world organizations.
An elegant coincidence means that the year 969 Ab Urbe Condita corresponds to the year Domini 216. The difference between these two years reversed on themselves with respect to the horizontal plane gives 912 minus 696, still 216.
If a medal presents the same identical representation of the two sides to the observer, it means that it represents at the same time two same crosses or two same heads: the Christian cross, symbol of the passion, whose use appears in 264 BC, at the time of the wars Punic, and dell'ankh, the Egyptian symbol representing the cycles of life, are the most widespread; the head, the identifying symbol of a man and his intelligence, the representation of his conscience.
Life, normally welded by the same soul to consciousness, thus becomes, in a certain moment, through an unprecedented mathematical representation, the emblem of the double opposition of life and knowledge in the course of history.
A moment that recalls the universal spirit of the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, symbol of knowledge, which according to the Bible were situated in the garden of Eden, where Adam and Eve were created by God.
Around this bipolarity, an inexorable count in the history of the world accompanies the periods of oscillation of humanity around a center, from a Genesis and up to an expected time, that of the end of time ".
From the introduction of the unpublished book L'Homme de l'Apocalypse, Massimo Nardotto, 2012.
Recalls:
1. 216: The number of digits that make up the 216-digits matrix, also known as Nardotto Sequence in a protected American site, where according to some sources the truth about the nature of time and man is condensed.
2. 969 has the meaning of King, since in the French alphabet, the original language in which the work of The Man of the Apocalypse was initially realized in the period of residence of the author in Paris, the Gematria in T9 gives the word ROI.
3. 264, squared gives the value of the tree of knowledge, in the value of 69696, the largest palindrome number known to mankind, to be at the same time the sum of two twin primes and a square of a number, 264 for 'precisely.
4. 696 minus 612 gives the value 84 which represents the value of Massimo Nardotto, as well as Napoleon Bonapart in the T9 Gematria.
5. 84 is the oscillatory value of (x + y) in the fundamental equation of time π (x + y) (t-xy) = 69696 where π has the value of the approximation calculated by Archimedes from Syracuse for a polygon of a lap angle expressed in degrees and 264.
6. 612 is the result of 4 times 153, the number of large fish caught by Jesus Christ appeared to some apostles, throwing the nets to the right of the boat, and a mirror image of 216, at the end of the New Testament written by John.
7. 2028AD is the temporal singularity represented by the analysis of the 216-digits matrix as well as the vertex of the parabola represented by the equation of time.
8. 2012AD is the year in which (xy) in the time equation has the value 8, representing the entrance to the apocalyptic period we are living, so the oscillatory difference between x and y in the time equation is less than 9, the number of figures in nature.
9. Massimo Nardotto in T9 gematria has the values of 38 and 46, which represent x and y in the time equation when t is equal to 2012.
Your Way to Infinity
"Do you know the formula: "m" fract zero equals infinite, where "m" is any positive number? Well, why not reduce the equation to a simpler form by multiplying both members by zero? In which case we have "m" equal to infinity by zero. That is to say that a positive number is the product of zero by infinity. Does this not constitute a demonstration of the creation of the universe from nothing by an infinite power?"
[Aldous Huxley, 1894 – 1963]
"Nothing is created from nothing except by the work of God. The infinite power that generated the cosmos is also found in the generation of life, which therefore has in itself the seed of God. The way you take in life is that of the infinite. The positive one is called Paradise, while the negative one is called Hell. Therefore your soul will travel time forward or backward in the tangent to infinity according to the Time Code which is the law of God. Science and religion share this vision through 216-digits. This is the truth for which I urge you not to be afraid of the worst or to expect nothing bigger than it looks. This is the 216-digits matrix"
216-digits vs π
[Max Nardotto, 1972 – living]
6th anniversary of the 266th papacy of the Roman Catholic Church
On 13 March 2013, Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio was appointed 266th Pope of the Catholic Church and Bishop of Rome under the name of Francesco. It is a significant date also because today is the 72nd day of the year, which recalls the three triplets of 72 letters each which in the book of Exodus 14, 19-21 describes the liberation of the people of Israel from the slavery of Egypt through the crossing the Red Sea under the guidance of Moses, constituting the foundation of the Jewish Passover, as well as one of the revelations of 216-digits, whose matrix is made of three triplets of 72 digits each. 72 days before the end of the year 1972 I was born. I invite you to review this audiovisual production of 338 Entertainment, entitled 72, to understand the logical connections that explain the reason why we live the historical period of the Apocalypse and I remain at the disposal of those who need some clarification. Happy 72nd day of the year to everyone, especially to Pope Francis who I encourage to integrate the truths of 216-digits and The Man of the Apocalypse into his mission as promoter of divine truth, in the mystery of the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ before the end of time.
Francesca Fialdini has been crowned the new female face of 216-digits
216-digits crowns his third female face in Francesca Fialdini, television presenter of La Vita in Diretta and in the past Uno Mattina, both on Rai 1, born in Massa on 11 October 1979. We do not know each other personally and although we would like, probably this will never happen. We have associated her identity with the fundamental concepts of 216-digits, such as Hebrew numerology and number theory.
It appears that the sum of the figures of her birth date 11/10/1979 gives 29 or 38 which, in module 9, are worth 11, which represents the time, or 2, which represents the bipolarity of nature and its cycles.
In ordinal gematria in the Italian language, her name Francesca is represented by the sum 6 + 16 + 1 + 12 + 3 + 5 + 17 + 3 + 1, which gives 64, and 1 in module 9. 64 is the limit expressed in bits for which Microsoft Excel treats only the first 15 digits of a number, for the effect of the 15-puzzle by 216-digits, while 1 is the characteristic value of the union and the unity, although not the whole.
In the same gematria, her surname, Fialdini, is represented by the sum 6 + 9 + 1 + 10 + 4 + 9 + 12 + 9, then 60, and 6 in module 9. As 60 seconds form one minute, and 60 minutes constitute 1 hour, 60 is also the value of the 216-digits time code patterns, needed to complete a complete cycle.
Putting together the results obtained, we deduce that from a metaphysical point of view her identity is represented by the value 216.
On 4/5/2004 The Man of the Apocalypse made his first transmutation at Paris Orly airport, stripping in public and shouting the word crisis repeatedly in the position of the Vitruvian Man. A few years later, in his Parisian residence, he deciphered the 216-digits matrix mentioned in the film PI, by Darren Aronofsky, 1998. From the analysis of the matrix, it turns out that in 2028 the real time will end for mankind and we will enter the imaginary time, also theorized by Einstein.
216 is a very unique number. For example, it is the only number in nature that can not be written as the sum of a zero or a prime number and a triangular number. Or it is the only value for which the volume and the surface of a cube coincide. But 216 is also the product of 3 times 6 which, symbolized by 666, associated with Christian culture to the figure of the Antichrist.
Luisa Cochran is the new 216-digits female face
We notified to Luisa Cochran that she recall us Milla Jovovich in the film the Fifth Element by Luc Besson (1997) on 15th June 2018 through Messenger.
Following our calculations in the T9 Gematria, Luisa Cochran is represented by the master number 55, representing space-time, to which she could be aligned.
She is born on 30/12/1971 from an American father and an Italian mother in Vicenza (Italy), but at the same time in the US territory.
1971, is the year printed on the sweater of Massimo Nardotto's son on the occasion of their last Christmas together in Venice, that he filmed in his film The Man of the Apocalypse (2012) when they were inside La Fenice theater.
The sum of all the digits of the Luisa's date of birth gives the value 24, which corresponds exactly to the period of each elementary sequence of our 216-digits matrix, representing a complete periodic bipolar cycle.
If instead we consider the figures of her birth date for groups, we get 338, which represents the value of the family name of The Man of the Apocalypse in the ordinal gematria of the Italian alphabet.
We have known that Luisa has two other first names, which are Ida and Maria. So, the T9 gematria reveals that Luisa Ida Maria provides the value 56 which, reduced in form 9, gives 11, which represents time. 11 is also the value of Cochran in module 9 in the T9 gematria. Together they give 22, which represents the synthesis of the date of birth of The Man of the Apocalypse, and from a physical point of view represents gravity, of which the maximum expression is that of a black hole.
Now, the value 11 of Luisa Ida Maria, multiplied by the value 11 of Cochran, multiplied by 24 squared, built on the synthesis of her date of birth, provides the value 69696, which represents the tree of knowledge in the garden of Eden, used among other things in a stylized form in the golden logo of Last Day Party.
69696 is the largest palindrome number known to mankind to be at the same time a square number, of 264, and the sum of two primes twin numbers. It also represents the solution of the equation of time π (x + y) (t – xy) for PI equal to the approximation calculated by Archimedes from Syracuse for a 96-sided polygon that incorporates a circle.
The equation of time is represented by a parabola with vertex, for x = y = 42, in the year 2028, the end of real time on Earth and the beginning o the imaginary time. It should be noted that x + y = 84 represents the value of Massimo Nardotto, The Man of the Apocalypse, in the T9 gematria, the same value of Napoleon Bonaparte in the same gematria.
For the principle of time symmetry, this explains, among other things, the reason why 11 years ago in the tunnel under the Channel, first wanted by Napoleon himself, Massimo Nardotto found the writing 338, which represents both the numerical value of his last name that the extended value of the Luisa date of birth.
The inscription "London" associated justifies one of the main objectives in the Massimo Nardotto's life, at the headquarters of the most important monarchy in the world, and that is summarized in a written word in a ticket that he filmed at the end of the episode entitled Final Fantasy that follows the film L'Homme de L'Apocalypse (2012), while being part of it.
Finally, on the occasion of the fall on the earth of the Chinese satellite on 2 April 2018 at 2:16 am Italian time, which corresponded with the 13th anniversary of the ascent to the father of Pope John Paul II, Luisa has published a beautiful picture of herself with the description "The change is on". Our question is: at what scale?
For these reasons and with these open questions, we are proud to appoint Luisa Cochran the new 216-digits female face on 25 July 2018.
Iaia De Rose is the woman who embodies the 216-digits image
Francesca De Rose, aka Iaia, born in Imperia, Italy, on July 27th 1981, is the symbolic woman to whom 216-digits has decided to associate its image with the feminine. TV presenter and show woman in the main Italian national television networks, she runs the blog TheBlondeWitchProject, which promotes the change of your life by focusing on yourself, addressing a female audience.
Recently she has caught our attention because she was the author of a publication on Facebook through her page Iaia De Rose, concerning the Royal Wedding, which has become particularly viral in Italy for the simplicity and beauty in which she describes love and how the relationship between the sexes should to be, referring to the royal context of Harry, who defines himself "so lucky", and Meghan, but extensible to all couples in the world.
In just a week, it has accumulated over 100 thousand appreciations that prove the communication skills of Iaia, associated with a purity of soul that makes her message shared by everyone and particularly interesting from an anthropological and social point of view.
So far, however, there is nothing particularly exceptional, except that 216-digits has analyzed the peculiarities of Iaia from a numeric and symbolic point of view, finding singularities that make her unique and worthy to make the object of an official communication by 216-digits.
The T9 gematria reveals that between Francesca and De Rose is contained the sequence 333, which symbolizes the enlightment and the divine gift, as well as between Massimo and Nardotto, The Man of the Apocalypse at the head of 216-digits and Last Day Party, appears the 666 mark that, doubly 333, has an equally symbolic meaning, to which is indissolubly linked from a metaphysical and esoteric point of view, but more complex and controversial, which finds references in the symbolism of King Solomon and in the Apocalypse of John.
Francesca and De Rose in the T9 gematria provide a total of 63, differentiated by a unitary value from the number of bits of conventional and more widely used operating systems for personal computer processors, the basis of the development of Internet and communication in modern times.
The unit value is also missing when, adding to the value of her first and last name the figures of her date of birth, we could obtain 99, the master number symbol of divine power, which, added to 69 and 96 representing the Yin and Yang and its implosion in Imaginary Time, provide the value 264, square root of 69696, which represents the Tree of Knowledge in the Garden of Eden, the largest palindrome number known by mankind to be at the same time a square of a number, 264 precisely, and the sum of two prime twin numbers.
Being born in Imperia, whose semantics is associated with the word Empire, the unity that completes her could be that symbolized by an initiation to Empress.
But, for the moment, in the absence of an empire to govern, she chose to call herself Iaia, which in the T9 gematria has the value 4242. That's right, twice 42, as the value of x and y in the vertex of the parabola represented from the Equation of Time π (x + y) (t – xy) = 69696, for t = 2028AD, the end of Real Time on Earth, considering for π the excess approximation calculated by Archimedes from Syracuse for a 96-sided polygon, complement of 264 in the constitution of a complete circle around a center.
Numbers are the language used by God to communicate with humans.
Her destiny could therefore be that of dealing with regal matters, of which she could be the protagonist rather than a simple observer or commentator. She possesses all the qualities necessary to embody the role of a Queen, she must only be coherent with herself, believing that this may be a singularity of destiny, for which she only has to choose her King. Their Kingdom could be the one more extensive in the history of this world, that of Imaginary Time.
The 13th Anniversary of the ascent to The Father of The Last Pope

The yesterday's revelations of 216-digits, on the occasion of the fall of the Chinese space station at 2:16 am Italian time, coincided with the 13th anniversary of the ascent to the father of Saint John Paul II.
He was the 264th pope in the history of the Catholic Church.
This number in the sequence is singular because it represents the square root of 69696, which in the symbolism of 216-digits represents the tree of knowledge in the Garden of Eden, the largest number palindrome known by mankind to be, at the same time, sum of two primes twin numbers, and square of a number, precisely 264.
69696 is also the solution of the Equation of Time π (x + y) (t – xy) which, when x corresponds to the name, and y corresponds to the surname, of the Man of the Apocalypse in the T9 Gematria, presents the value of t equal to the year 2012AD, when the interval of oscillation between x and y has become, for the first time in human history, less than 9, which is the number of digits in nature.
Consistent with the results of the decryption of the 216-digits matrix, the vertex of the parable represented by the Equation of Time corresponds to the year 2028AD, the end of Real Time on Earth and the entry into Imaginary Time, for x and y equal to 42.
Coincidentally, 42 is the answer to the Great Question on Life, the Universe and the rest in the work of Douglas Adams entitled The Guide of the Galactic Traveler, a cult work in the Anglo-Saxon countries.
The first of the world's first series, the television series and the book The Last Restaurant before the end of the world, the second of the pentalogy, Arthur Dent scrabble letters of the computer most likely to find the question. He gets the phrase "What is the product of six by nine".
Of course 6 multiplied 9 is equal to 54, certainly not 42, except for base 13, to symbolize the 13th anniversary of the "Last Pope", and the end of the Mayan 13th b'ak'tun cycle, on December 21st 2012, when humanity has entered the Apocalypse.

The Mitchel McLaughlin Column
Irish Government should take lead in building all-Ireland economy
The Irish government should redouble its efforts to build an all-Ireland economy by drawing up plans for cross border integration in all aspects of commercial and social development. It should direct its energies and influences towards also convincing the British government that the future lies in economic policies specifically for the island of Ireland detached from British Exchequer policies designed for the fiscal stability of the island of Britain. If Irish economic development is to reach its full potential in a programmed and managed manner then what is required is co-operation and integrated planning between the Finance Ministers North and South pending eventual economic and political re-integration.
Both governments at the highest level have voiced their opinions that an island economy is in the long-term interests of all the people of Ireland.
Sinn Féin believes that the onward march towards a united Ireland is unstoppable and all other parties except the unionists are on record as having Irish unity as their political objective. And although unionist politicians will not say so publicly there are few of them who believe anymore that there will never be a united Ireland. Therefore we cannot afford to delay in laying the economic foundations for future stability. It would be to the benefit of all the people on this island if public expenditure was planned and managed on an all-Ireland basis. The British Secretary of State Peter Hain is also on record as accepting the Northern economy - divorced from the rest of the island - is unsustainable. Irish government ministers have likewise publicly endorsed an island economy and must now step up to the mark and play their part in working towards national reintegration.
In recent comments for instance, Brian Cowen, Dermot Ahern, and Micheál Martin are all on public record espousing the practicalities of development of infrastructural, economic, energy, educational and social structures on an all-Ireland basis. But it is not just nationalist political parties and the two governments that have recognised the need for this unitary approach. It has also been embraced by many business organisations, trade unionists, economic commentators and educationalists.
Sinn Féin has long called for this approach from both governments and all of the parties. I believe that we have now had enough rhetoric and promises, task forces and feasibility studies; it's time for action. I look forward to working with the two governments, the SDLP and others in delivering on this agenda. Now that there is a growing public consensus on the issue there is no excuse for further delay.
Hopefully we will have stable working political institutions in the North in the near future and this will allow for locally elected politicians to take decisions in collaboration with their southern counterparts. Integrated planning and spending can only benefit all of the people of Ireland regardless of political affiliation.

Q: JavaScript Promises causing error: "TypeError: Cannot read property 'subscription' of undefined" I am using a JS script to implement the Stripe payment provider on a website. The code mainly comes from this tutorial from Stripe. The full code can be found here.
Part of the script involves promises, which I am very unfamiliar with. Essentially, I need to go through a number of .then blocks to handle a customer's checkout and subscribe them to the service. When I run the code, I get the following error:
TypeError: Cannot read property 'subscription' of undefined
Below is the function causing the error, with the problematic .then block noted:
var createSubscription = async function ({ customerIdInput, paymentMethodIdInput, priceIdInput }) {

    var handlePaymentThatRequiresCustomerAction = function ({
        subscription,
        invoice,
        priceId,

        // to complete the payment process. Check the status of the
        // payment intent to handle these actions.

//THIS IS THE THEN BLOCK CAUSING THE ERROR
        .then((value) => {
            handlePaymentThatRequiresCustomerAction({
                subscription: value.subscription,
                invoice: value.subscription.latest_invoice,
                priceId: value.priceId,
                paymentMethodId: value.paymentMethodId,
            });
        })

        // If attaching this card to a Customer object succeeds,
        // but attempts to charge the customer fail, you
        // get a requires_payment_method error.
        .then(() => handleRequiresPaymentMethod())

        // No more actions required. Provision your service for the user.
        .then(() => {
            onSubscriptionComplete();
        })

        .catch((error) => {
            // An error has happened. Display the failure to the user here.
            // We utilize the HTML element we created.
            showError(error);
        });
}

I'm 90% certain that the .then block preceding the error (below) is not fully executing before the problematic block tries to reference value.subscription, and that that is causing the error. However, I'm not sure how to fix that. I've tried using a Jasmine test to isolate the problem, but I've been unsuccessful in that avenue.
        .then((output) => {
            return new Promise(function (resolve) {
                resolve({
                    paymentMethodId: paymentMethodIdInput,
                        priceId: priceIdInput,
                            subscription: output,
                        });
                });

        })
//THIS IS THE THEN BLOCK CAUSING THE ERROR
        .then((value) => {
            handlePaymentThatRequiresCustomerAction({
                subscription: value.subscription,
                invoice: value.subscription.latest_invoice,
                priceId: value.priceId,
                paymentMethodId: value.paymentMethodId,
            });
        })

What can I do to ensure that everything executes in the proper order and avoid this error? Thanks for your help.
UPDATE: as Zac stated in the comments, the issue was the OnSubscriptionComplete() function, which I neglected to pass a value to.

Manchester City duo Gabriel Jesus and Fernandinho join up with Brazil ahead of Copa America

Manchester City duo Gabriel Jesus and Fernandinho join up with Brazil team-mates as they turn attentions to the Copa America
Gabriel Jesus and Fernandinho arrived at Brazil's training centre on Wednesday
The pair are part of Tite's squad for the Copa America, which begins on June 14
They joined Casemiro, Richarlison and David Neres for a light workout

Premier League winners Gabriel Jesus and Fernandinho were all smiles as they joined up with their Brazil team-mates on Wednesday afternoon.
The pair have spent the past few days celebrating Manchester City's historic domestic treble but must now get back to work with the 2019 Copa America right around the corner.
And they looked ready to go as they immediately hit the gym at the Granja Comary Football Complex, headquarters of the national team.

Having greeted the likes of Casemiro, Richarlison and David Neres, Jesus and Fernandinho joined them in a light workout.
The Selecao have plenty of time to prepare with the tournament beginning on June 14.
Host nation Brazil have been drawn in Group A alongside Bolivia, Venezuela, Peru and are hoping to win the trophy for the first time since 2007.
Manager Tite admitted selecting his squad for the competition was one of the hardest things he has done.
'This is the most difficult list I had to make in my life,' he said after making his squad announcement. 'I didn't sleep. My wife tried to help, but she couldn't. I made those choices, but any of the others I didn't pick would have fit, too.'
Richarlison (L) and David Neres (R) were also present at the national team's headquarters
There was no place in the squad for Lucas Moura, who scored a hat trick this month to help Tottenham pull off an incredible come-from-behind victory over Ajax and reach the Champions League final.
Nor was there a spot for Fabinho, who played a key role in Liverpool's improbable 4-0 win over Barcelona, also to reach the Champions League final.
Even Willian, who has helped Chelsea reach the Europa League final despite not longer being a regular starter, was left off. As was Vinicius Jr, the young forward who made a splash with Real Madrid this season.

Q: C# While -> For -> For loops to run multiple requests at the same time? I'm currently trying call a function for each entry inside a dataGridView until a condition returns true, this would take long, since the dataGridView could have a total count of 100 entrys.
Question: Is there a way to call the function for the first 5 elements at the same time and then continue with the next 5 elements? This way those "100" entrys could be done faster. Or is there another way to do this?
Current code Example:
private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    new Thread(new ThreadStart(function)) { IsBackground = true }.Start();
}

private void function()
{
    bool loopRunStop = false;

    while (loopRunStop == false)
    {
        int count;

        for (count = 0; count < dataGridView1.RowCount; count++)
        {
            bool response = anotherFunction(string parameter1, string parameter2);

            if(response == true)
            {
                loopRunStop  = true;
                return;
            }
        }
    }
}

Q: Generate ER Diagram with view permissions Currently my environment that I'm working with is using Oracle DB 12 and I have been granted view permission only.
The issue is that the ER diagram that is given to me is not complete and sometimes retrieving data from different tables can be a challenge and time-consuming.
Therefore, is there any easier way that I could generate the full ER diagram myself or at least the relations with the current permissions I have?

A: I used SchemaSpy and it worked flawlessly.
