In fact, it is only $60 here on Kickstarter. Less if you pledge for more than one.
PLUS. You will most likely be able to fit PEKE•BUO into a bag you already love and own. It is more functional than any other diaper bag out there.
Colors will be determined by 1st 2nd and 3rd picks from the survey sent to backers at the end of the campaign.
Lots of people ask Sariah Tate how she came up with the PEKE•BUO diaper bag, find out in this video! See all her original prototypes! ALSO. Why she believes in small diaper bags and how she makes them work in her life.
Most people pronounce the name of the product 'peek-a-boo' when they first read it, which is fitting for the bag. Since the product is intended for the care of babies, a name that sounds like the popular infant surprise game works perfectly. The surprise elements and flaps and openings of the bag fit the idea of 'peek-a-boo'.
Sariah Tate, creator of the bag and brand, is a native Spanish speaker and has inserted some fun hidden meanings.
Peke is a phonetic way to represent the Spanish word 'peque', meaning small and also used to refer to small children. The product is both intended for small children and also one of the key features of the bag is that it is very compact.
Buo is the phonic way to represent the spanish word, 'buho', meaning owl. Owls are iconic for wisdom or intelligence which ties in with the 'smart diaper bag' concept. The product unfolds to mimic the shape of an owl.
Go beyond the bag and team up with us on our unstoppable mission to help parents everywhere. The PEKE•BUO bag delivers a smarter, simpler, more efficient way to live that allows for more joy in the parenting experience. Our long term goal is to be able to supplement that lifestyle with additional resources that will inspire parents in their role as primary influencers for the next generation. Then give them the tools they need to succeed in that role. Empower parents, change the world.
JOIN THE PEKE•BUO movement on Facebook, stay updated on our adventures and join us in improving lives one bag, one parent at a time.
We have have come so far with so little. Sariah embarked on this endeavor with only an idea. She then partnered with brother-in-law Emrys and with less than $2,000, we are so close to making it a reality. The only thing left is your support.
At the launch of Project Peke•buo we have 5 potential manufacturers, and only need to choose the best fit. Then we have located the maker of our fabric, so it is simply a matter of establishing them as a supplier.
All new ventures face similar risks. Peke•buo is no exception. Our biggest challenge is securing a reliable source for the fabric and colors we wish to use. We have secured only a limited supply for now so there is a small risk that it will be not the exact fabric and colors you see here. Be assured that we are in contact with the fabric producer and need only solidify that relationship. However, if worse comes to worst, we will use a similar fabric with the same features and quality and comparable colors.
With any venture, the idea could be a billion-dollar idea, but it is the team that brings the idea to life. Thus, it is more important to consider the team when deciding which project to fund. Basically, if you believe in us, then you can be sure we will deliver on our promises. So allow me to introduce to you our Peke•buo team.
Sariah Tate is a designer with the Midas-touch. She conceived the idea for Peke•buo and had the gusto to bring it into the prototyping stage where she continues to make the product better and better. As a mother, she comes from a place of experience and cares genuinely about the product and those who will use it.
Emrys Tate is our operations guru. He recently graduated with degrees in Operations Management and Entrepreneurship. This is not his first start up, but perhaps will be his most successful. He also speaks Chinese and German, which opens doors for us. He has a strong background in procurement and logistics so he is just the guy to solve our sourcing needs.
This brother and sister-in-law duo make the perfect team because each fills in the other's weaknesses and both are passionate about improving the lives of those in need. Day in and day out they brainstorm and implement ways Peke•buo can make an impact for those in need and make parenting easier and more joyful.
Fiona Lin - Global Project Manager with 10+ years' experience in industry, sales & marketing, finance, operations and product development.
So there you have it. It is true the road a head of potential unseen costs and detours, but we feel confident that as a team we can overcome any hurdle that might stand in our way.
We are grateful for every dollar that goes to help bring PEKE•BUO diaper bags into the hands of parents that need it. Thank you!

Q: NodeJS Call GET method within for loop using callbacks I am using NodeJS and Express and iterating over an array of strings, for example:
  [ "1" , "+" , "B4", "*", "8"]

If the string contains a letter, the function should go off and call a GET method to retrieve a value from the Database. My code so far looks like this:
function processFormula(formula) {
    console.log(formula)
    var arr = formula.split(" ");
    for (var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
        if (arr[i].match(/[a-z]/i)) {

         /* fetch the value and store it in arr[i] */

         }
    return arr.toString();
    }

My problem is that the method which goes off to fetch the value takes longer to execute than the processing thread, resulting in
undefined

cropping up a lot. I am struggling to understand where exactly I should be placing my callback to deal with this situation iteratively?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

A: That is tricky to coordinate. You could try using a HTTP request library like axios that uses promises. Then, you can use Promise.all to coordinate all the requests.

A: You can add another if inside the for and return until you at the last element:
for(var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++){
    if (arr[i].match(/[a-z]/i)) {

     /* fetch the value and store it in arr[i] */

    }
    if(i == arr.length-1){
            return arr.toString();
    }
}

And a suggestion, try using array.length outside for loops, because each loop you will be calculating the length of the array to check if condition is achieved, therefore going through array each time. (I didn't change that in my answer). Just do it before the loop and do var size = array.length

Cunningham Architects completed a modern residence with intriguing architecture details in Wimberley, Texas.The residence is composed of two functionally separate sections. According to the architects, "an L plan effectively separates the bedroom wing from the more public kitchen/living/dining room wing. As such, the house essentially is two discrete boxes, one of glass, and the other of stained cement fiberboard, indicative of their respective functions.The roof deck is capable of hosting large family gatherings while affording expansive views of the surrounding area. It also acts as a rain water harvesting surface for the on-site collection system". Local building materials and other sustainable building techniques are said to be at the basis of this inspiring home design. The interiors are spacious and give an overall feel of continuity, despite the separation of the public and private areas.Enjoy the photos and don't forget to share your opinions below.

The pages of "Golden Days" are filled with an array of stories, activities and lessons. The stories are, for the most part, gender specific. Titles like "Philip Berkeley; or, The Master's Gun" appealed to the male audiences while other stories like "Grandma's Bear Story" included the subtitle 'For the Girls.' Many of these stories are broken up in chapters that spanned numerous issues, which was sure to make children request the next week's publication. These stories too were not just written by strictly amateur or unknown authors but some of the most important names in children's literature at the time including Horatio Alger, Jr., James Otis and Frank R. Stockton. Each issue also included a section entitled "Puzzledom" with number and words games and "International Lessons," a strictly Christian devotional with a message and Bible study.
Golden Days reminds us of a time long gone when children relied on strictly stories and reading to fuel their imagination and pass the time rather than television and video games like today's generation. Villanova is lucky to have Volume Three of Golden Days in its special collection, which includes issues from 1882 and 1883. If you want to step into the lace-up boots of a Victorian child and experience this form of popular entertainment, head over to the Villanova Digital Library and read a few issues of Golden Days for Boys and Girls.

Robert Kraft has given away a fortune -- including to groups that fight sex trafficking
Joey Garrison
BOSTON – He gave money to a nonprofit that helps women who have survived the commercial sex industry.
He also funded the work of a professor who studies the history of forced sex labor.
New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft has donated enormously to a long list of nonprofits and universities in Boston and beyond – more than $400 million over five decades, according to his company. His philanthropy has made the billionaire businessman a civic icon throughout the region.
Among his beneficiaries: people who fight sex trafficking.
Kraft, 77, is facing two misdemeanor counts of soliciting prostitution in Florida. Authorities say he paid for sexual services on Jan. 19 and 20 at Orchids of Asia Day Spa in Jupiter, an operation police say is tied to an international human trafficking ring.
Kraft pleaded not guilty Thursday and has denied any illegal activity. He is scheduled to be arraigned March 27.

More:What's next for Robert Kraft?
More:Robert Kraft, accused of soliciting prostitution, gave hundreds of millions to charitable causes
Most of the many organizations that have received financial support from Kraft – some of which are now named for him – have remained silent on the charges.
But a few have spoken up.
My Life My Choice, a Boston nonprofit formed in 2002, works to end the sexual exploitation of children through programs– and advocacy. The group has led prevention groups for more than 2,000 girls, mentored more than 400 and helped draft anti-trafficking legislation in Massachusetts.
Kraft donated $100,000 to My Life My Choice in 2015. The contribution, reported by Deadspin, was hailed by the ESPN Humanitarian Awards as a "game-changer."
My Life My Choice would not say whether it plans to sever ties with Kraft.
"Our organization's existence is focused on ending commercial sexual exploitation," executive director Lisa Goldblatt Grace said in a statement.
"The buying and selling of human beings is an egregious form of abuse," she said. "We are heartbroken by the allegations about Robert Kraft. The New England Patriots Charitable Foundation has supported My Life My Choice in the past. We will await additional information before commenting further."
Bernadette Brooten is the Kraft-Hiatt Professor of Christian Studies at Brandeis University in Waltham.
Kraft's late wife, Myra Hiatt Kraft, was a graduate of Brandeis. The Kraft family endowed the position at the Jewish-founded college to promote interfaith relations. It's tied to a separate Jewish studies professorship at Holy Cross, a Jesuit College in nearby Worcester.
Brooten says Kraft introduced her at an event to inaugurate the position in 1994. She says he has supported her work, which includes studying and teaching about the relationship between slavery, sexuality, religion and women.
Brooten founded and directs the Brandeis Feminist Sexual Ethics Project, and wrote "Beyond Slavery: Overcoming Its Religious and Sexual Legacies."
She called the allegations against Kraft "disturbing" and "very saddening."
"The most important thing for me," she said, is "that it alerts us to, once again and perhaps at a higher level, to the problem of forced labor within the sex trade."
Brooten says as many as 3.8 million adults and 1 million girls worldwide have been forced into the sex trade.
"I think that as a society, we need to be aware of how entrenched we are within a slavery system," she said. "To many people, it's simply invisible, and yet it may be just around the corner. It may be that we are consuming goods that are produced by the labor of enslaved persons."
She pointed to chocolate from the Ivory Coast, tomatoes from Florida and sugar from the Dominican Republic.
"Or," she added, "sexual services that people may be using but not asking the question of whether the sex workers are there by force or not."
Brooten says she has no plans to seek a name change for the position. She says she will carry on with her work as before.
"I'm confident people will look at my work for what it is."
Kraft has donated in the fields of health and medicine, education and academia. He's known for dropping surprise gifts of $100,000 on a range of causes; recipients have included a center for grieving children, programs for veterans and food banks.
Several of his largest beneficiaries – Massachusetts General Hospital, where he created the Kraft Center for Community Health, the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, home of the Kraft Family Blood Lab, and Columbia University, where both the campus Hillel center and the football field are named for him – have not commented on the charges or how they might affect their relationship with him.
The Genesis Prize Foundation has pledged its support of Kraft. The foundation, based in Israel, is moving forward with plans to give Kraft this year's Genesis Prize in June.
The so-called Jewish Nobel Prize is awarded annually to leaders of Jewish heritage "who have attained international renown in their chosen professional fields" and "have made a significant contribution to improving the world."
The organization did not respond to questions from USA TODAY. Stan Polovets, chairman and co-founder of the Genesis Prize Foundation, told the Jerusalem Post that the group would not be rescinding the award.
"Absolutely not," Polovets said. "Robert was selected for decades of extraordinarily generous philanthropy, his unwavering support of Israel, and unparalleled success in his field of work – professional sports. Israel doesn't have a better friend than Robert Kraft.
"The incident reported last week is unfortunate," Polovets said. "However, as of now, it remains an unproven allegation."

This week, we wrap up our discussion on PRE-POSITIONING.
Over the last few Guardian Broadcasts, we've covered this topic with specific examples of how you can use Pre-Positioning to make your deployment of deadly force faster and more effective, and how truly effective pre-positioning can help you avoid ever needing to use deadly force in the first place.
In the first part of the series, we covered passive pre-positioning life-habits that, if we focus on developing them, will radically boost our effectiveness in most aspects of life, but especially where giving you an "unfair advantage" in self-defense is concerned.
In the second part, we discussed Active Pre-positioning tactics we can employ, once we begin feeling threatened.
The third category of pre-positioning represents the things we can do within the span of a violent engagement, and here we really drill down in the micro. Pre-Positioning within an active engagement– literally as you're moving or as you're shooting – encompasses most of what we know of or think of, with regards to actual tactics. The shooting, the moving, the awareness: the survivor of violence and the effective fighter is always acting with the demands of the next half second or the next second or two or three in mind.
Does that make sense? Now, a lot of this pre-positioning concept is common-sense simple. It's nothing more elaborate than just re-categorizing things that we already know about; things that we already do. But it's so helpful to pull all that within these categories of Pre-Positioning, because it really helps us to see the full brilliance of what good strategy and good tactics mean.
Good strategy, remember, is the effective pre-positioning of all available resources to – ideally – defeat your enemies and solve your problems without tactile, or tactical, intervention ever being necessary. But should it become necessary, having effective strategy in place allows and ensures that your actual, physical response is as fast, advantageous, effortless, and effective as possible. That's what good strategy does.
Good tactics do two things: not only do they work toward physically solving the problem at hand, but every tactic – if it's a GOOD tactic – will make sure that the very NEXT tactic and the very next SET of tactics that you have to or may have to execute after that one are – similarly – as fast, advantageous, effortless, and effective as possible.
In other words, throwing a punch and hoping it solves all your problems is not good tactics. The good tactician won't throw a punch that leaves him vulnerable. And he won't ever expect one punch to solve any problem; instead, this next punch seeks to tire or weaken or stun his opponent, so that the next punch, or the throw three punches from now, can actually end the fight.
It goes on and on, and it gets deep fast. But this is precisely why the study of tactics is so extremely important and valuable. This is why the massive pool of people, young and old, congregating on gun ranges, on YouTube, or on internet forums to knit-pick tactics and to ingrain and focus on good tactics is so universally important to all of us. It matters, because every tactic – every single action – contains the power and potential for effective pre-positioning. And to ignore or disregard that is, then, a big mistake.
People who win fights and survive violence know this. They know that they don't need to be tactical masters; you don't even have to know WHY you're doing what you do. Provided you learn from someone who knows why it was important, and who therefore developed good tactics, you're creating for yourself massive advantage.
I remember being a young man, engaged in a paintball combat scenario against some combat veteran US Army Officers. I was an unwashed civilian, teamed up with some high school friends. We fought blindly against these officers, executing tactics as if they were poorly rehearsed dance numbers. At the same time, the Army Officers executed tactics that squeezed every ounce of potential pre-positioning out of all their resourced: each of their six men, each bit of terrain and obstacle, each of the strengths and weaknesses of their paintball guns. For the first few seconds, their tactics seemed a little comical. We seemed to have the upper hand in gusto and volume of fire. But after about three seconds – and I kid you not – sheer terror set in, even amid this fun game, as I realized the trap that we were already in. By the time I began realizing it, we had already lost. The game was over. None of us had even been hit yet; all my friends probably still thought we were winning. But, I knew it was done. It was a terrifying masterpiece display of tactics, as these two fireteams moved against us. I lowered my gun, stunned by the beauty of the situation. And within another ten seconds, we were all marked – all "dead" – and not one of them had been touched. It was superb.
Within an engagement, maneuvering is the clearest example of how pre-positioning can be used, while you're actively being attacked. You move to avoid being shot; you move to position yourself to be more effective once you're there. When you fire. You fire to try to hit the guy, but you also fire to put him in a state of reaction, a state of fear, a state of suppression. The way you draw, the timing of your draw. The list goes on and on and on, and it can go on further and further. Eventually, every tactical motion or action holds two powerful components: the immediate result, and the options that this action then opens to you and closes you off from. You want to choose potent, open-ended tactics.
Even through the end of an engagement, after the smoke stops. Calling 911 isn't just a response or an action. It's effective pre-positioning. Every word you say. Your vocal tonality – these things WILL have real consequences later on, so the bright tactician uses these resources to make sure his or her life is easier, rather than harder, later on. Consider all these things, everything, as you work toward changing your perspective of a violent situation and your responses within it from closed-ended tactics that either do or don't solve a problem, to open-ended efforts toward effective pre-positioning.

If for any reason you find yourself needing to "Reset All Settings" in iOS 8: Think again.
As discovered by MacRumors, on their forums, users who have used the "Reset All Settings" option in iOS 8 have lost all of their iWork documents in iCloud Drive.
This setting (found in Settings > General > Reset) specifically states that no data or media will be erased when you reset all, but it seems a bug in iOS 8 is not making that so.
This coming just after the iOS 8.0.1 fiasco and the "bendgate" nonsense, really makes you wonder what's going on with Apple lately.
If this has happened to you, let us know in the comments — and let us know if you were able to recover your data! Those that have done this surely need to call Apple support and get this worked out. We hope Apple is able to remedy this issue, or else they'll have even more angry consumers on their hands this week, as well.
In the meantime, stay away from that "Reset All Settings" option.

Gemma Chan,
I'm a recent convert to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), thanks to my 8-year-old son's newfound obsession with the Avengers, and Captain Marvel was the first entry in the mega-franchise that I've actually been excited to see on opening day in the cinema. And it's a blast (literally, if you've seen those things flying out of her fists in the trailers).
Captain Marvel is a refreshing and unconventional superhero origin story, and I don't just mean because it's the first woman-led (and co-directed, and scored) MCU movie, or that there's no love interest (even the ground-breaking Wonder Woman had to shoehorn one in). I'm talking about the inverted story structure: when we meet our hero – a warrior named Vers (Oscar-winner Brie Larson, Room, Kong: Skull Island) – she's already powered-up (though not, as we'll see, operating at full potential) and kicking ass as part of an elite Kree (humanoid aliens) commando unit under the leadership of Yon-Rogg (Jude Law, The Talented Mr. Ripley, Sherlock Holmes). In particular, the asses of sworn enemies the reptilian Skrulls, who have the terrifying ability to shapeshift into the form of anyone they see.
It's only when she's captured and has her forgotten memories probed that we begin a journey back to where it all began. She crash-lands on Earth, where it's the mid-1990's (something very much milked for nostalgia gags) and teams up with MCU stalwart, S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Nick Fury (a wonderfully de-aged Samuel L. Jackson) to uncover her past as US Air Force pilot Carol Danvers and come to terms with who she really is in order to embrace her future. Sci-fi gobbledygook aside, it's a real roller-coaster ride, full of surprises, thrills, laughs, and emotional punches, and it's also a satisfying tie-in with the existing MCU.
I loved Carol Danvers. Brie Larson portrays her with just the right amount of sass and super-hero swagger, but with depth and vulnerability, especially during her time with ex-pilot buddy, Maria Rambeau (Lashana Lynch, Brotherhood, Fast Girls) and Maria's daughter, Monica (Akira Akbar). I'm a massive aviation nerd, though, so I only wish we'd seen a little more Top Gun action rather than the two of them just reminiscing about their aerial antics.
Tonally, Captain Marvel sits in a slightly strange spot. It's not the straight-up action-comedy of Thor: Ragnarok or Guardians of the Galaxy, though you can see it trying to lean in that direction at times – there's definitely some great LOLs. The action sequences are competently directed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck (Mississippi Grind, It's Kind of a Funny Story), but aren't quite jaw-on-the-floor thrilling like certain other MCU entries (hello, Civil War). Nevertheless, they really nail Carol's personal journey, as well as the buddy-pic vibe between Carol and Fury (and, of course, Goose).
There's no doubt that Captain Marvel has a really strong theme of women's empowerment. My initial reaction was that, while the message was strong, it's delivery was a little ham-fisted at times (like certain music choices and on-the-nose gags). However, it struck me that this movie is going to be consumed en masse by kids (including two of my own sons, who loved it), and that mass media like this will continue to shape their expectations of gender norms in a very different way to what I grew up with, so it probably doesn't hurt to throw subtlety to the wind in this respect.
But what really resonated with me was not who, in particular, is being empowered, but the feeling of anyone being able to find the means to unleash whatever potential lurks within themselves and unapologetically blaze a trail no longer burdened by the expectations of those around them or, as Carol puts it, fighting "with one hand tied behind my back."
It's no spoiler to say she's a total badass by the end. So I'm super-excited that we'll be seeing Captain Marvel again in Avengers: Endgame in just over a month. Squee!
Carl, father of three (mostly) delightful boys, loves to learn and wrestle with big ideas. He's a massive nerd and will debate anything from which is the best Star Wars film (Empire obviously) to whether computers could ever be conscious (maaaaybe?). His love of movies, books, music, and technology has led him down a path of film and TV post-production, writing, acting, and now – back to school. The journey continues...

Quebec reduces isolation period for confirmed COVID-19 cases from 14 days to 10

MONTREAL — Quebec is reducing the mandatory isolation period required for people infected with COVID-19 from 14 days to 10.
The change was made in response to evolving science regarding the transmission and the duration of contagiousness of the novel coronavirus, the Health Department said Friday in a news release.
Quebec reduces isolation period for confirmed COVID-19 cases from 14 days to 10 Back to video
From now on, people can end their isolation period 10 days after their first symptoms appear, or 10 days after testing positive for COVID-19 if they don't show symptoms.
Authorities added, however, that people must also meet other criteria to end their isolation after 10 days, including having no fever for at least 48 hours, and having no symptoms for at least a day — other than coughing or loss of taste.
"Once the isolation period ends, people are no longer considered contagious, but they must ensure to follow the guidelines that apply to the general population such as hand-washing, wearing face coverings and physical distancing," Public Health Director Horacio Arruda said in a statement.
The new rules apply only to confirmed COVID-19 cases involving people who are isolated at home and whose symptoms are considered mild or moderate. People who are in preventive isolation due to being in contact with a confirmed case must still isolate for 14 days to see if symptoms develop.
Those who are immunocompromised or who require hospitalization for COVID-19 will still need to isolate for at least 14 days.
Speaking in Ottawa, Canada's chief public health officer said Friday the new directive in Quebec aligns with existing federal guidelines regarding isolation that have already been adopted by several other jurisdictions.
"Our recommendation is, based on the evolving science, those who have experienced 10 days post onset of symptoms, asymptomatic, no fever, can come out of the actual isolation," Dr. Theresa Tam said.
She said that out of caution, some provinces including Quebec chose to impose the same 14-day period that is required for people who are quarantining to see if symptoms develop.
B.C. and Alberta have already been using the 10-day minimum period for self-isolation, according to their respective Health Department websites. New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland require 14 days, as does Ontario, according to the website for Ottawa's public health department.
The new isolation rules for Quebec come as more than 20 teachers from a high school northwest of Montreal were sent into preventive isolation, forcing the school to ask some 500 Grade 10 and 11 students to stay home Friday because there was no one available to teach them.
Spokeswoman Anik Gagnon said the decision was made after two members of the teaching staff at Polyvalente Deux-Montagnes tested positive for COVID-19 prior to the first day of classes.
She said the students were asked to stay home until Monday while the school tries to recruit substitute teachers or explores other options to overcome the lack of personnel. The 20 teachers will be in isolation until Sept 4, and will all be tested for COVID-19.
Sylvain Mallette, president of a federation of teachers' unions, the Federation autonome de l'enseignement, says the incident highlights the need for schools to have access to an accelerated testing process.
"The question is, how long did it take to get access to a test, and how long to get the results of the test?" Mallette said in an interview Friday. He said the Quebec government hasn't followed through on a promise to offer teachers quicker access to tests and to results.
Meanwhile, Quebec reported 98 new cases of COVID-19 Friday and one additional death attributed to the novel coronavirus.
The number of total deaths remained stable, however, at 5,750, following an investigation that showed one previous death attributed to COVID-19 was found to be unrelated.
Health authorities also announced Friday that 78 test results were confirmed as false positives due to a contamination of samples in a Montreal lab. That's almost double the number of cases that were originally under investigation when news of the contamination was announced Wednesday.
Health officials said those cases would be gradually removed from the province's total case numbers, which stood at 62,124 on Friday.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 28, 2020.

Novelis on Monday announced a 7000-series aluminum it says is two to three times stronger than typical automotive aluminum.
It said in a news release the Advanz 7000 is up to the job of "bumper systems, crash ring components and door intrusion beams" while remaining lighter than high-strength steel. The company released images of a 7000-series aluminum B-pillar reinforcement on Monday.
Aluminum has already been used for those types of super-strong components. At 2014 and again at the 2015 Great Designs in Steel, Acura indicated the 2015 TLX had aluminum bumper beams, which makes us curious what grade of aluminum was used and who built it. For comparison, the 2015 Ford Edge, also shown off at the 2015 Great Designs in Steel, had a 1,300 MPa ultra-high-strength steel bumper.
Novelis said "a number of global automakers" are testing the alloys right now, though it did not provide specifics.
Automotive News noted that Ford and Jaguar Land Rover are among the company's biggest automotive clients.
"We are working with Novelis on a whole range of new, high-strength aluminum alloys, of which the 7000 series could be included for specific applications on future products," Jaguar Land Rover chief body engineer Mark White told the newspaper.
For example, repairers are only allowed in some cases to fix the TLX's aluminum hood — but the car's aluminum bumper beams and aluminum-steel front subframe must be replaced. A TLX service bulletin also notes that corrosion should be a concern, and certain fasteners can't be reused on aluminum parts.

Someone Died
Obit: Former Bucks County Judge, Attorney, and Local Liberal Lion, Leonard B. Sokolove, 88
Leonard B. Sokolove, jurist, attorney, soldier, father, and husband, passed away on Monday, November 3 at age 88. He was remembered this week by close friends, colleagues, and family.
As reported in The Inquirer, Sokolove had a passion for the law, and it was evident in his life's work. His commitment to fairness, family, Philadelphia, and country was defined and displayed by his character throughout his life.
Sokolove served his country bravely in World War II, earning the Bronze Star for bravery during the Battle of the Bulge. Sokolove risked his life in the face of enemy fire to retrieve a wounded soldier and return him to safety. Serving as a radioman in the 63rd Infantry, Sokolove would also receive a Purple Heart for being wounded in battle.
A lifetime resident of the City of Brotherly Love, Sokolove returned home from the war and enrolled at Temple University, where he received an undergraduate degree and attended law school. He had a private practice in Philadelphia and also served as solicitor to Bristol Township for 17 years. It was in 1981 that Sokolove discovered his passion, legally speaking, when he was appointed to the County Court by Governor Dick Thornburgh.
According to Sokolove's son, Michael, his father loved being a judge. The business aspect of private practice was of little interest to Sokolove. It was on the bench he could explore and enjoy the intellectual challenge of the law. Many of his decisions set new precedents in the area of family law, even surviving challenges that went all the way to the state's Supreme Court.
Sokolove's impact on Philadelphia's legal community lives on. For friends, family, and colleagues, his influence and legacy will be a point of pride for many years to come.
In lieu of flowers, the Sokolove family has asked that in memoriam donations be made to Temple University, the ACLU, and the Jewish National Fund.

UK studies: 'Impressive facilities and curriculum'
By Aruni Mukherjee
Last updated on: July 12, 2007 17:31 IST
With departure dates rapidly approaching, Indian students are booking tickets and preparing to leave for international universities.
To ease their concerns and answer their questions, we've asked students who are already studying abroad to share their experiences.
Today, we share the story of Aruni Mukherjee, who spent six years studying and one year working in the United Kingdom.
What is the most beneficial aspect of acquiring a Western education? Is it the lucrative job that probably follows it?
Or is it the degree that not ridiculed by half of the developed world's universities? Or is it, for some at least, the approval stamp of a foreign university that seems to be so much more alluring than an Indian one?
For me, however, studying in Britain for five years has been all about widening my horizons. From the moment I stepped off the plane at Heathrow in 2001, the world has suddenly seemed a much larger place. I seemed to be in a straitjacketing cocoon in India that cracked the very first day I spent alone in another country.
For one, you learn to be a lot more aware of your surroundings because you haven't got your parents to cover your back. In 2007 -- after finishing my A-levels, then a degree and then working for a year in the United Kingdom -- I'm left with a far greater understanding and deeper appreciation of what the world around me is like.
Everyone invariably speaks from within the contours of his or her particular context and experiences. I am no different.
Much of what I feel are the strengths of Western education comes from the fact that I studied a joint honours degree in History and Politics, and not Information Technology or Medicine that most Indian students tend to prefer.
Aside from the possible availability of better research laboratories in the UK, I cannot comment on the merits of the education system in science-related subjects in the UK.
I remember one of the major things that alienated the Indian school education system to me was the expectation that students can memorise large chunks of information to reproduce in the examinations. Another was coercing students to study certain 'compulsory subjects' beyond a certain age.
I really didn't want to grapple with the intricacies of Hindi linguistic theory beyond Class X, but as my first language I would have had to.
I didn't feel the need to memorise even the finest details of the subjects I studied at A-level, although the points of Lord Asquith's cabinet in the first decade of the 20th century, or European competition laws were taught in their finest detail.
The trick was to do plenty of real-life case studies and projects in the classroom, which automatically drilled the knowledge in the students by the time the exams came around at the end of the year. I could give the exam without even spending too much time on revision because of how deeply the knowledge had penetrated my intellect -- and I still remember those details.
Half of my friends in India cannot remember a word of most of their study materials from Class XI or XII.
Moreover, it always occurred to me that classifying students by academic streams viz. science, arts and commerce was rather unnecessary and arbitrary. There is none of that in Britain, and students are free to choose whatever four subjects they want at A-level.
I chose Business Studies, Government and Politics, History and Information Technology. This would have been impossible in India. This allowed me -- and all students -- to focus on what I liked, and since the interest was already there, to genuinely care for what I was studying.
At the school, and later on a much greater scale at the university level, there were two key strengths of the British education system compared to the Indian one.
First, the focus on improving the students' methodology was very strong. Indeed, strong historiography was rewarded much more than listing every single fact you knew about a topic.
Students could get top marks by listing 70% of the facts, but stitching together their answers in an academically sound manner. The converse was not applicable -- all facts and a poor structure will not get you more than 60% (B).
I was noting down footnotes diligently while I was doing my school project on Indian independence. At university we were taught the intricacies of the Oxford and Harvard system of referencing and I adhered strictly to the former. My friends in Indian universities had no clue about the proper methodologies even after graduation.
The second thing was the emphasis on developing student-generated original research, particularly at the university level. Perhaps here is where the difference between a developed and developing country is blatantly obvious. Not many government departments in India, let alone universities, can boast of annual revenues of ₤300 million (Rs 230 crores) to upgrade university facilities.
Every single journal of repute in every single subject was available to us on our computers. Most books of note published in every subject were in our library, which was adding to its shelves on a daily basis. Books are being converted into e-books, journals are stored electronically to free up space for new entries and magazines were held dating back to the previous century. None of this is present in India.
All this helped students to be up to date in their opinions, and this in turn fostered their minds to devise original answers to questions on the basis of a strong research-oriented outlook. Answers with original content backed up by heavy research were handsomely rewarded, while mugging up won't even earn you passing marks.
A wide number of workshops, projects, seminars and discussion sessions helped us bounce off ideas against each other. The actual curriculum stipulated one seminar discussion with a professor every week on each module, where students basically threw seething criticisms at their colleagues' thesis while the sober academic calmly took notes of how each student defended his/her ideas.
This personalised treatment was present even in schools. Each answer of mine received details comments -- positive and negative -- by the teachers. I used to put my mugging up skills to good use initially, but after the structural defects were pointed out by my teachers, I slowly changed track and acquired those very important methodological techniques instead of writing whatever I knew about a subject.
On the other hand, I have always found that students -- and adults -- prefer to quote eminent personalities to defend their views. Is it because they lack views of their own?
I haven't mentioned anything about extra-curricular facilities that are part of the holistic education system in the West. But you can get details of student union parties, impressive sports facilities at particular institutions and the local nightlife in any careers magazine in India these days.
I have instead focused on the core of what advantages there are of a Western education system apart from the added frills. Needless to say, some will scoff, saying that I am servile to the West. But dear reader, do you think the education system in India is actually Indian in nature? Hardly.
Our curriculum content, ideologies and structures within which we educate our students are bad emulations of Victorian England. There is nothing authentic about India's education system, so we should stop defending it as if it's the direct descendent of the gurukul system.
I have tried to portray how structural and methodological changes can greatly help our students without the need for installing expensive facilities, which seems to be a convenient excuse for the current stagnation.

Die Westliche Hüpfmaus (Zapus princeps) ist ein Nagetier in der Familie der Hüpfmäuse, das im westlichen Nordamerika vorkommt. Bis Anfang der 2000er Jahre galt das Taxon als Synonym der Wiesenhüpfmaus. Aufgrund abweichender Schädelmaße wird Zapus princeps seither als Art geführt.

Merkmale
Weibchen und Männchen sind mit Schwanz 209 bis 274 mm lang, die Schwanzlänge beträgt 122 bis 176 mm und das Gewicht variiert zwischen 18 und 38 g. Die Länge der Hinterfüße beträgt 27 bis 35 mm und die Ohren sind 10 bis 18 mm lang. Über den Rücken erstreckt sich ein breiter und dunkler olivbrauner Streifen. Das Fell der Körperseiten ist heller olivbraun mit gelben oder orangen Tönungen. Eine deutliche orange Linie bildet die Grenze zur weißen oder bleich orangegelben Unterseite. Der Schwanz ist ebenfalls in eine dunkle Oberseite und eine helle Unterseite aufgeteilt. Die langen Hinterfüße sind wie bei anderen Hüpfmäusen mit rosa Haaren bedeckt. Bei erwachsenen Exemplaren hat der Zahnschmelz der oberen Schneidezähne eine orange Farbe. Im Oberkiefer sind pro Seite ein Schneidezahn, kein Eckzahn, ein Prämolar und drei molare Zähne vorhanden. Im Unterkiefer enthält jede Seite nur einen Schneidezahn und drei Molaren.

Die Westliche Hüpfmaus besitzt fünf Finger an jeder Vorderpfote und fünf Zehen an jedem Hinterfuß. Die Daumen sind jedoch recht klein.

Verbreitung
Die nördliche Grenze des Verbreitungsgebiets reicht vom südwestlichen Yukon in Kanada über das zentrale Alberta bis zum Südwesten Manitobas und zum Osten North Dakotas (USA). Im Süden erreicht die Westliche Hüpfmaus den Süden Kaliforniens, den Süden Utahs und den Norden New Mexicos. Die Art fehlt in nordwestlichen und zentralen Bereichen des Bundesstaates Washington. Sie hält sich hauptsächlich auf Bergwiesen, in Galeriewäldern sowie in Baumgruppen mit Erlen, Pappeln und Weiden auf.

Lebensweise
Nach dem Winter ernähren sich die Exemplare hauptsächlich von Pilzen und Insekten. Sobald reife Pflanzensamen vorkommen, bauen sie mithilfe dieser Fettreserven im Körper auf, die im bis zu 280 Tage dauernden Winterschlaf verbraucht werden. Auch in anderen Zeiten kann die Art bei Nahrungsmangel einen Starrezustand (Torpor) einnehmen und die Körpertemperatur senken. Laut einer Studie von 1970 überleben 56 Prozent der Jungtiere und 17 Prozent der erwachsenen Exemplare den Winter nicht. Wenige Westliche Hüpfmäuse können sich über drei Jahre fortpflanzen und vier Jahre alt werden.

Im zeitigen Frühjahr haben die Weibchen einen Wurf mit zwei bis acht Nachkommen. Sie sind zuvor etwa 18 Tage trächtig. Das Weibchen säugt die Nachkommen 28 bis 35 Tage.

Auf der Flucht vor Feinden wechseln sich bei der Westlichen Hüpfmaus Phasen mit schnellen Bewegungen und Pausen in starrer Haltung ab. Sie kann zickzackförmig rennen oder gerade Sprünge ausführen, die meist 30 bis 40 Zentimeter lang sind. Gelegentlich springt die Maus 70 Zentimeter weit und 30 Zentimeter hoch. Die etwa 0,10 Hektar großen Reviere der Weibchen sind voneinander getrennt. Männchen besitzen durchschnittlich 0,17 Hektar große Reviere, die sich mit den Territorien von Weibchen und von anderen Männchen überlappen. Zur Kommunikation erzeugt die Westliche Hüpfmaus einen hohen Piepton und sie reibt die Zähne gegeneinander. Informationen werden auch durch das Trommeln des Schwanzes auf dem Grund übermittelt.

Dieses Nagetier wird von verschiedenen Fressfeinden wie Mardern, Skunks, Rotluchs, Waschbär und Strumpfbandnattern gejagt.

Gefährdung
Buschbrände wirken sich in begrenzten Regionen negativ auf den Bestand aus. Möglicherweise stellt der derzeit stattfindende Globale Erwärmung in der Zukunft eine Gefahr für die Population dar. Die IUCN schätzte die Gesamtpopulation im Jahr 2016 als stabil ein. Die Westliche Hüpfmaus wird deswegen als "nicht gefährdet" (least concern) gelistet.

Q: getline returns -1, EOF not set, errno not set, when given very large input I did not think these three conditions can happen at the same time. I have:
char* line = NULL;
size_t capacity = 0;
ssize_t n = getline(&line, &capacity, stdin);
if (n == -1) {
    int err = errno; // preserve it
    if (feof(stdin) == 0) { // means not EOF
        printf(strerror(err)); // "Success"
    }
}

The getline documentation claims

Both functions return -1 on failure to read a line (including end-of-file condition).  In the event of an error, errno is set to indicate the cause.

So I have a non-EOF non-error condition?
This is a small, single-threaded program. This error happened when it was fed a 2^30 character string as input (as a stress test, which found this behavior).
Compiled with gcc C99 on Linux.
Edit
I put a fair amount of work into repro-ing this a few days later. I was using git so it's very easy to create another branch or tag with the repro-ing code, but I didn't observe that good practice. While working with what I believe was the buggy commit, my O.S. just took to killing my program with rc 137.
But
chux's test harness shows a related problem which is repro-able and I guess keeps this question on topic.

A: A test harness that shows the problem.
A difference between this code and OP's is that the status of errno is always shown.

When out-of-memory occurs, errno is set, but getline() returned the length exceeding the capacity - very strange -  and not -1.
If this is compliant or not, I leave to your interpretation of the below. IMO it is not compliant. I would expect a return value of -1, if errno is set due to getline() for any reason in addition to ferror() or no read on end-of-file.
I suspect the issue due to a deferred memory allocation.

RETURN VALUE
On success, getline() and getdelim() return the number of characters        read, including the delimiter character, but not including the terminating null byte ('\0').  This value can be used to handle embedded null bytes in the line read.
Both functions return -1 on failure to read a line (including end-of-file condition).  In the event of an error, errno is set to indicate  the cause.
ERRORS
EINVAL Bad arguments (n or lineptr is NULL, or stream is not valid).
ENOMEM Allocation or reallocation of the line buffer failed.

Code also experiments with CR/LF vs LF, yet that did not appear relevant.

In the final debate for Illinois' U.S. Senate seat before Tuesday's election, incumbent Sen. Mark Kirk, R-Highland Park, started his opening remarks by thanking his Democratic opponent for accepting his apology regarding controversial comments he made at the previous debate.
Last week, Kirk said he'd forgotten that U.S. Rep. Tammy Duckworth's parents "came all the way from Thailand to serve George Washington" after Duckworth mentioned that a member of her family had served in the U.S. military since the American Revolution. Kirk's comment went viral, and he was asked about it again Friday night.
"I am absolutely not a racist," Kirk said when asked about the reaction people have had to the comments.
Moderators at ABC 7 Chicago also asked the candidates, who have both criticized Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, how they would work with Trump's administration if he were to win the White House.
"Given his personality I'd probably have a lousy relationship with him. I don't expect him to win," Kirk said. Kirk has repeatedly said he won't vote for Trump, and has called for Trump to drop out of the race.
Duckworth had a very different response, saying she'd start off by assuming that Donald Trump loves the country just like she does.
"I will work with Donald Trump when his policies are for the good of the country, when they make sense and they're logical but I'm not going to be someone who's going to say I'm going to oppose everybody at every step of the way because we already have that and it's not working for the people of Illinois or the people of this great nation," Duckworth said.

Q: JPA timestamp comparison not working I have a persistent object with two Date fields, like this
@Temporal(TemporalType.TIMESTAMP)
private Date generated;

@Temporal(TemporalType.TIMESTAMP)
private Date expirationTime;

On object construction the expirationTime is initialized based on the generated field
this.expirationTime = new Date(generated.getTime() + ttlMillis);

Now I'm trying to delete all expired objects from the database with a JPA query
Query q = em.createQuery("delete from MyObject t where CURRENT_TIMESTAMP > t.expirationTime");
q.executeUpdate();

But running a simple test
MyObject o = new MyObject(somePastDate, someTTL);
em.persist(o);
... create the query above
q.executeUpate();

shows no row is being deleted. Any clue on what I'm doing wrong? I'm running tests on HSQLDb and using Hibernate as my JPA provider.
Edit: solved, but I'm not sure why this version should work differently.
Query q = em.createQuery("delete from MyObject t where :now > t.expirationTime");
q.setParameter("now", new Date());
q.executeUpdate();

What's the use of CURRENT_TIMESTAMP if comparisons with other fields fail?

A: You did not set any parameter, and the query has to get a named parameter:
Query q = em.createQuery("delete from MyObject t where CURRENT_TIMESTAMP > :expirationTime");
q.setParameter("expirationTime" , yourObject.getExpirationTime());//or your getter
q.executeUpdate();

I add a link to enforce the topic here.
Check if it works :-)


The reconstituted Fleetwood Mac made its first official live appearance at the fest, while Aldean did his first Las Vegas show since last year's tragedy.
The first night of the 2018 iHeartRadio Festival at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas was, by and large, as upbeat and celebratory as intended, although there were a couple of implicitly dramatic moments having to do with how people deal with trauma and loss and move on.
One of those had country superstar Jason Aldean returning to the city for his first full performance since the mass shooting that interrupted his performance at an outdoor festival just a little less than a year ago. (He'd previously visited victims in the hospital and come back for the ACM Awards.) Aldean didn't address the impending anniversary during his own set, but appeared on stage earlier in the evening with country radio personality Bobby Bones and about 40 local first responders for a "Vegas Strong" salute.
And, on an infinitely more trivial level, the opening set of the festival also had inherent in it some loss and resilience — Fleetwood Mac's loss of Lindsey Buckingham, here replaced for the first time in an actual concert setting by Neil Finn and Mike Campbell. The new Mac lineup was making its official live debut with a five-song set after a two-number teaser earlier this month on the "Ellen" show.
There was less emotion through the rest of the four-hour-plus evening — although there was "Emotions," an early peak in the climactic set by Mariah Carey, who was on familiar ground here, having recently wrapped up yet another Vegas residency.
Familiarity does not breed any kind of indifference, at least among fellow celebrities, as virtually every performer or presenter Varietysurveyed backstage named Carey as the artist they were most excited about seeing on the evening's bill. When we posed that question to Panic! At the Disco frontman Brendan Urie, he was instantaneous with his answer: "Dude, Mariah! I want to kiss her feet and the ground she walks on. She's goddess. I want to hear those whistle tones." He then proceeded to break into a pretty good approximation of those "Emotions" high notes that pierced the hallways.
Bringing no noise whatsoever was Sam Smith, a somewhat mysterious no-show, particularly as he'd participated in rehearsal earlier in the day. Those who'd seen the schedule and knew he was supposed to go on before Gambino were puzzled when Glover appeared instead, before Ryan Seacrest made the eventual announcement that "due to unforeseen circumstances which transpired after his rehearsal, it became clear that Sam Smith would unfortunately not be able to perform tonight." Smith later tweeted nearly the identical "unforeseen circumstances" language in an apology on his account. No further explanation was given, although sources indicated that the British balladeer (who currently has a three-week No. 1 hit in England with his Calvin Harris collaboration "Promises") had experienced a loss of voice.
There were no vocal emergencies in Fleetwood Mac's opening set, with Finn proving a suitable fill-in for the fired Buckingham, at least on any practical harmonic level, while Campbell took over the lead guitar duties (with some secondary help in that department from Finn). The five sampler songs — teasing a tour that begins Oct 3 in Tulsa — seemed chosen to evenly mathematically disperse the lead vocals between Stevie Nicks, Christine McVie and the new kid. Finn got a full-on solo lead spot with "Second Hand News" and shared duet vocals on "The Chain" and "Don't Stop." McVie had "Little Lies" as her unshared spotlight moment, while Nicks fronted an extended version of "Gold Dust Woman" that had her twirling on the catwalk while Campbell and Finn kicked out the dreamy jams back at stage right.
There wasn't much stage banter during this renewed Mac attack, other than McVie asking, "How you doing over there, Neil?," and Nicks rounding out the last bow with a reminder that "we're gonna be out on the road and would love to see you — please come." But the grins during that curtain call suggested that the old and new players believed this reconstituted version of the band had proven themselves ready for prime time.
Just how — or if — Aldean would commemorate the tragedy that ensued during his last show in Las Vegas was a question mark hanging over the lead up to iHeartRadio Fest. He turned out to be the one actual performer of the night to come backstage to the press room to answer questions, and a reporter asked what the anniversary meant to him.
That sober lull notwithstanding, the evening could have just as easily carried a #VegasSilly hashtag, with Rae Sremmurd being about anything but sobriety, and Kygo closing out the bill with a guest-filled DJ set that had Miguel and others emerging for cameos as the crowd dwindled down to a post-Mariah chosen few.
The festival continues for a second night Saturday with appearances by Justin Timberlake, Carrie Underwood, Luke Bryan, Shawn Mendes, Imagine Dragons, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Logic and Kelly Clarkson. It's Clarkson's set that might be the most scrutinized, to see if she has any further commentary after earlier in the week blasting the event host for not actually playing her music on the radio anymore.


A couple of dates for your diaries – following on from the highly successful game between our clubs last season, (a tightly contested 6-6 draw!), Hammersmith will again be taking on the mighty Fulham Juniors over at their home venue on Haldane Road.
This time we're making it a double-header, with games on Tuesday 15th November, and a second round on Tuesday 21st March. Both dates added to our Club calendar.
The Juniors are a terrific side, ably run and coached by Paul McKeown. As always with the youngsters they are ridiculously fast learners and often their grade belies their true ability – it's sure to be a good test!
We'd like to put out as many boards as possible so please get in touch with a team Captain to let us know if you are keen to play.


WWE Superstar Shelton Benjamin and WWE Diva Eve are both scheduled to be appearing at Circuit City on Tuesday in Atlanta, Georgia from 11am to 1pm. The Circuit City is located at 3637 Peachtree Road, Atlanta, GA.
Several Hollywood and entertainment outlets have picked up the story of Freddie Prinze Jr. signing with WWE and joining the creative team. This was part of what WWE were hoping for, trying to get publicity in the Hollywood entertainment industry.

Emma Goldman to the Press, a few days after her arrest in New York City, February 11, 1916.
Held by the Goldman Collection, International Institute for Social History, Amsterdam, this press release is featured in Birth Control Pioneer, an online exhibit of The Emma Goldman Papers presented by the Berkeley Digital Library Sun SITE.
Emma Goldman, American anarchist and compelling advocate of free speech, women's equality, the eight-hour day, and birth control, was arrested in New York City on February 11, 1916, while giving a public lecture on family planning. She was charged with violating the Comstock Law, a 1873 statute banning transportation of "obscene" matter through the mails. At the time, federal courts interpreted the statute as prohibiting distribution of contraception information.
Goldman was born in Kaunas, a Russian city that is now part of Lithuania, on June 27, 1869. Like most poor Russian jews, Goldman's family suffered under the political oppression and antisemitism of Imperial Russia. Put to work in a corset factory and threatened with an arranged marriage, she fled Russia in 1885. Goldman settled in Rochester, New York, married, and worked in a factory. Disillusioned with working conditions there, she joined the labor movement. Her awareness of anarchism grew with the persecution of anarchist labor leaders after the 1886 Haymarket Strike. Shortly thereafter, Goldman embraced anarchism—the belief that any form of government inhibits a just society.

This actuality film, shot from above, shows a very crowded New York City street market. Rows of pushcarts and street vendors' vehicles are visible. The precise location is difficult to ascertain, but it is certainly on the Lower East Side, probably on or near Hester Street—the center of commerce for New York's Jewish community at the turn of the century.
In 1917, Goldman was arrested for obstructing the draft because of her outspoken opposition to military conscription associated with World War I. After two years in prison, she was deported to Russia. From 1919 on, Emma Goldman lived and worked in England and Europe. Disappointed by the results of the Russian Revolution, she nevertheless continued to advocate anarchism and individual freedom. Goldman died in 1940. The right of physicians to import and prescribe contraceptives was affirmed in 1936.

New biosensors quickly detect coronavirus proteins and antibodies
Impact Lab > Coronavirus > New biosensors quickly detect coronavirus proteins and antibodies
Coronavirus, Science & Technology News

by University of Washington
Scientists have created a new way to detect the proteins that make up the pandemic coronavirus, as well as antibodies against it. They designed protein-based biosensors that glow when mixed with components of the virus or specific COVID-19 antibodies. This breakthrough could enable faster and more widespread testing in the near future. The research appears in Nature.
To diagnose coronavirus infection today, most medical laboratories rely on a technique called RT-PCR, which amplifies genetic material from the virus so that it can be seen. This technique requires specialized staff and equipment. It also consumes lab supplies that are now in high demand all over the world. Supply-chain shortfalls have slowed COVID-19 test results in the United States and beyond.
In an effort to directly detect coronavirus in patient samples without the need for genetic amplification, a team of researchers led by David Baker, professor of biochemistry and director of the Institute for Protein Design at UW Medicine, used computers to design new biosensors. These protein-based devices recognize specific molecules on the surface of the virus, bind to them, then emit light through a biochemical reaction.
Antibody testing can reveal whether a person has had COVID-19 in the past. It is being used to track the spread of the pandemic, but it ,too, requires complex laboratory supplies and equipment.

He led work on the design and testing of new light-emitting biosensors to detect coronavirus proteins and antibodies. Future modifications to this model biosensor might also be useful in detecting other clinically important molecules in cancer and infectious diseases Credit: Ian Haydon/UW Institute for Protein Design
The same team of UW researchers also created biosensors that glow when mixed with COVID-19 antibodies. They showed that these sensors do not react to other antibodies that might also be in the blood, including those that target other viruses. This sensitivity is important for avoiding false-positive test results.
"We have shown in the lab that these new sensors can readily detect virus proteins or antibodies in simulated nasal fluid or donated serum, said Baker. "Our next goal is to ensure they can be used reliably in a diagnostic setting. This work illustrates the power of de novo protein design to create molecular devices from scratch with new and useful functions."
Beyond COVID-19, the team also showed that similar biosensors could be designed to detect medically relevant human proteins such as Her2 (a biomarker and therapy target for some forms of breast cancer) and Bcl-2 (which has clinical significance in lymphoma and some other cancers), as well as a bacterial toxin and antibodies that target Hepatitis B virus.

Q: Constraints missing after pg_restore After dumping a table and importing it to another postgres db constraints are missing.
I'm using this to dump:
    pg_dump --host=local --username=user -W --encoding=UTF-8 -j 10 --file=dump_test --format=d -s --dbname=mydb -t addendum

This to import:
    pg_restore -d myOtherdb --host=local -n public --username=user -W --exit-on-error --format=d -j 10 -t addendum dump_test/

What I can see in the resulting toc.dat is something like this:
    ADD CONSTRAINT pk_addendum PRIMARY KEY (addendum_id);
    >   ALTER TABLE ONLY public.addendum DROP CONSTRAINT pk_addendum;

That looks like its creating and destroying the PK, but I'm not sure if my interpretation is correct as the file is binary.
edit: I'm using PostgreSQL 9.3

A: From the documentation:

Note: When -t is specified, pg_dump makes no attempt to dump any other database objects that the selected table(s) might depend upon. Therefore, there is no guarantee that the results of a specific-table dump can be successfully restored by themselves into a clean database.

You thus have some admittedly unattractive choices:

*

*You can rebuild the constraints manually, especially if you still have the DDL which created them.

*You can do a database-wide pg_dump to text, obtain the constraint DDL from there, see step 1.

*You can do a database-wide pg_dump, and restore it fully.

A: I had the situation where the table already exists but using pg_restore deleted the constraints of the table.
There is an accepted answer already but I will try to provide an answer for those cases where the table to be restored is already available. In such cases, the constraints are deleted, only if you are trying to drop and recreate the table (-c or -C). Whereas if you only want the data from the dump you can perform delete all records on the table (DELETE FROM tableName) and then use pg_restore with -a flag. You can thus exclude -c or -C flag from you pg_restore command.

A: A little late to the party but here's something that may help.
If you're restoring a single table from a large dump file and having trouble getting the indexes with pg_restore (-t doesn't do indexes and constraints)
 pg_restore db_dump_file.dump | awk '/table_name/{nr[NR]; nr[NR+1]}; NR in nr' > table_name_indexes_tmp.psql

You also need the subsequent line after a match for indexes and constraints.  The awk command above gets line + 1 after every match.
This output file should contain your indexes (assuming the dump file actually contains them, plus data). Then you can apply them back to the table you restored as individual commands.
Not a perfect solution but better than trying to re-create them manually.

We Must Demand Gun Control After Parkland Shooting
UNAC/UHCP President Denise Duncan, RN, released the following statement regarding the Florida school shooting in Parkland on Feb. 14, 2018, urging American families to demand gun control:
"Every day, millions of American parents drop their children off at school in the morning and wonder whether they can count on picking them up after t
he final bell. Yesterday saw another mass murder in a Florida high school, and the result was renewed terror at school drop-off this morning. We simply cannot accept the status quo of record-breaking senseless death due to gun violence anymore, especially not when it comes to the murder of innocent children.
"In just 35 days this year, gun violence occurred on school grounds in America 18 times, according to Everytown for Gun Safety. Many Americans now worry about going to church, work, a concert or school, as we see evidence on the news every week that we are not safe in public spaces. Late last year, a disturbed man walked into a church in Texas and opened fire, killing 26 and wounding 20. This deadly shooting in a safe space rocked our country—and yesterday's deadly murderous rampage at a school must force us into action.
"Some will tell you that gun violence is preventable with armed guards in our churches and schools. Nothing could be further from the truth. Controlling the sale of guns and banning semi and fully automatic rifles will prevent gun massacres. Arming even more people is part of the problem, not the solution.
"In 1996, Australia elected leaders were at a crossroads after a gunman wielding a semi-automatic rifle killed 35 and injured 23 in the Port Arthur massacre at a popular tourist attraction. Following the tragedy, the Australian Prime Minister introduced strict gun laws that prevented private ownership of automatic and semi-automatic firearms, including a mandatory buyback of banned guns. These laws were passed with bipartisan support. In 2002, Australia passed stronger gun control laws for sport-shooting handguns. The result? A 20% decline in homicides in the first decade. That number has continued to drop. Since the 1996 law, no gun massacres have occurred in the country.
"Australia has not banned all guns. But they have banned the most deadly guns. We can do the same. Many legislators who claim to keep the victims of gun violence in their prayers have blocked attempts to put into place commonsense gun control laws. As Americans, it's time for us to think and pray about this issue too—and then vote out legislators who will not put our families' safety above special gun lobby interests.
"If the Australian government can do it, so can ours. It's time we demand more from our elected leaders."
