Q: Express Error Handling Opinion & Best Practice I have more of a code architecture question about error handling NodeJs Express apps. I am not sure on what is the best pattern for error handling. On that note, what situations should be considered as an error. For instance, is a 401 Unauthorized code considered an error even though this response is expected when sending bad credentials?
When using:
//app.js file
app.use(err, req, res, next){}

I generally tend to only put 5xx errors here which would represent situations in which a database cannot be found or no network connection issue or function failures. As for the rest, I would manually send back a status code, such as a 401, from the controller by explicitly coding res.status(xxx).send(); or something of the sort. But the issue behind what I'm doing is I tend to repeat myself and have to place logging scattered across the app. Is my approach fine? Should I instead be creating multiple error handling middlewares for different ranges of status codes? I need an opnion

A: I prefer using middleware with your custom error class to deal with this problem.
Let's see a error class, which contains a custom error message, http status code and logLevel if incase you employ logger.
module.exports = class ApiCalError extends Error {
  constructor (message, status, logLevel) {

    // Calling parent constructor of base Error class.
    super(message);

    // Capturing stack trace, excluding constructor call from it.
    Error.captureStackTrace(this, this.constructor);

    // Saving class name in the property of our custom error as a shortcut.
    this.name = this.constructor.name;

    // You can use any additional properties you want.
    // I'm going to use preferred HTTP status for this error types.
    // `500` is the default value if not specified.
    this.status = status || 400;

    this.logLevel = logLevel || 'warn';

  }

  toResponseJSON () {
    return {
        success: false,
        message: this.message
    }
  }
};

Now, let's took a look at a controller. We have only sent successful response from this controller, and passed custom errors to middleware.
  exports.Login = function(req, res, next) {
        const validationResult = validateLoginForm(req.body)
        if (!validationResult.success) {
            var err = new customError(validationResult.message, 400, 'warn')
            return next(err)
        } else {
            return passport.authenticate('local-login', (err, token, userData) => {
                if (err) {
                    if (err.name == 'IncorrectCredentialsError' || err.name == 'EmailNotVerified') {
                        var error = new customError(err.message, 400, 'warn')
                        return next(error)
                    }
                    return next(err)
                }
                return res.json({
                    success: true,
                    message: 'You have successfully logged in!',
                    token,
                    user: userData
                })
            })(req, res, next)
        }
    }

Now, let's take a look at logger and error handlers middlewares. Here, logger will log the errors in api and pass the error to error handlers. These functions would then be used in app.use().
    // Import library

    var Logger = function(logger) {
        return function(err, req, res, next) {
            var meta = {
                path: req.originalUrl,
                method: req.method,
                'user-agent': req.headers['user-agent'],
                origin: req.headers.origin
            }
            if (err instanceof customError) {
                logger.log(err.logLevel, err.message, meta)
                return next(err)
            } else {
                logger.log('error', err.message, meta)
                return next(err)
            }
        }
    }
    var ErrorHandler = function() {
        return function(err, req, res, next) {
            if (err instanceof customError) {
                return res.status(err.status).json(err.toResponseJSON())
            }else{
                return res.status(500).json({
                    success: false,
                    message: err.message
                })
            }
        }
    }

    module.exports = {
        Logger,
        ErrorHandler
    }


Ever since we invented our line of Vintage-Industrial casters and wheels, we've had a ton of people asking for a wheel tread that was safe for all flooring types. Sure, we offered the rubber tread versions in a 5 inch version, in a 6 inch version, and in an 8 inch version - but the same thing was unavailable in the smaller 1-1/4" wide versions.
Note the verbiage there; was unavailable. This is no longer the case.
VI Supply is happy to report that we now offer a brand-new line of polyurethane tread swivel and rigid vintage industrial casters and wheels! Yippee! Hurray!
Now in stock and available for immediate shipping, the 4 and 5 inch versions comes standard with a black polyurethane wheel tread, which is safe for all flooring types, while still featuring the throw-back, steampunk look of a spoke wheel hub. You can now officially have your cake and eat it too.
We know it's been extremely tough to find a caster with that classic vintage-industrial look and feel to it that you will feel safe rolling around on hardwood floors - this is why we created this specific wheel. One less thing to worry about, right?
If you have questions, as always, please send an email to info@vintageindustrialsupply.com - or you can reach us on Twitter at @VISupply.
We've added a new item, and we think it's pretty great. Do yourself a favor, and check this bad boy out!
If you're a fan of making cool stuff, you hopefully already know about floor flanges. They are a great way to connect metal pipes to wood table tops, floors, and countless additional applications and surfaces.
V.I. Supply is now carrying these wonderful little life-savers in many different sizes, in both galvanized and black.

Gov. Greg Abbott signs 'sanctuary cities' ban into law on Facebook Live
Filed under Texas Politics at May 2017
James Barragán, State government reporter
Connect with James Barragán
AUSTIN — Gov. Greg Abbott has signed the state's sanctuary city ban into law, achieving one of his major goals for the legislative session and enacting a bill that is almost certainly headed for legal challenges from opponents.
"Texans expect us to keep them safe, and that is exactly what we are going to do by me signing this law," Abbott said before inking his signature during a Facebook Live video Sunday night -- the first time a Texas governor has signed a bill through an Internet live stream.
Abbott, who designated the ban as an emergency item in January, signed the bill just four days after both chambers of the Legislature gave it final approval. Its passage is a major victory for Abbott and Republicans who advocate for stricter enforcement of immigration law. The Legislature has tried to pass a ban every session since 2011.
The law will go into effect Sept. 1.
Sanctuary cities ban headed to Gov. Greg Abbott's desk
Opponents of the law were quick to condemn the signing. Thomas Saenz, president of the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, said that the law was a "colossal blunder" and that the lawmakers who championed it were small-hearted.
"MALDEF will do its level best, in court and out, to restore Texas, the state where MALDEF was founded, to its greater glory, and to help Texas to overcome 'Abbott's Folly,' " he said in a written statement.
Saenz said the law would alienate "nearly half the state population" and make people subject to widespread racial profiling. He said the law undermines voters' rights to choose elected officials who set local policy, makes the job of local law enforcement more difficult by straining relationships with immigrant communities and would cost Texas in trade and tourism, as well as legal challenges.
"This racist and wrongheaded piece of legislation ignores our values, imperils our communities and sullies our reputation as a free and welcoming state," Terri Burke, executive director of the ACLU of Texas said in a prepared statement. "We will fight this assault in the courts, at the ballot box, and in the streets if we have to."
How a deal to soften the 'sanctuary cities' bill fell apart, leaving a political bloodbath on the House floor
The law will ban cities, counties and universities from prohibiting their local law enforcement officers from asking about immigration status and enforcing immigration law. It will create a criminal charge for police chiefs, county sheriffs and constables who violate the ban and will charge local jurisdictions up to $25,000 for each day they are in violation.
The law will also allow police officers to ask about a person's immigration status during any legal detention, which could include a routine traffic stop. Opponents have likened the law to Arizona's "papers, please" legislation, parts of which were struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court.
Elected or appointed officials who violate the ban could be removed from office -- another portion of the law that is likely to face legal challenges.
Abbott addressed possible challenges in his roughly five-minute Facebook Live signing, saying the key provisions in the bill have been tested at the U.S. Supreme Court and approved.
"It simply makes sense," he said. "Citizens expect law enforcement officers to enforce the law, and citizens deserve lawbreakers to face legal consequences."
Proponents of the ban say it is necessary to keep criminal immigrants off Texas streets. If local law enforcement officials don't turn over unauthorized immigrants to federal authorities, they argue, those people could go on to commit more serious crimes.
Opponents of the law took Abbott to task for signing the bill on a Sunday and away from press and public scrutiny.
"It seems fitting that Greg Abbott would sign this disgraceful bill on the Internet on a Sunday night, far from the press and the public," Bob Libal, executive director of Grassroots Leadership, said in a written statement.
Rep. Rafael Anchia, D-Dallas, said in a tweet in Spanish that Abbott had "no shame" signing the bill on a Sunday, the day of worship for a majority of Latinos who are Christian.
"He's Catholic but after mass he signed an anti-immigrant law, SB 4, which has been criticized by the Texas Conference of Catholic Bishops" he said in his tweet.
The Texas Conference of Catholic Bishops, whose support Abbott often cites on issues like abortion, had strongly opposed the law. On Friday, the bishops had called on Abbott to veto the bill.
Matt Hirsch, an Abbott spokesman, tweeted Sunday night that his office chose to broadcast the signing on Facebook Live to reach a wider audience. An hour after the signing, the video had been viewed more than 400,000 times.
For those wondering why we chose Facebook live. And it's only been an hour. pic.twitter.com/IdkHm7Mf45
— Matt Hirsch (@MattJHirsch) May 8, 2017
During the signing, Abbott criticized the policies of Travis County Sheriff Sally Hernandez, who earlier this year changed policies to limit the unauthorized immigrants her office would turn over to federal immigration authorities under requests called "detainers."
"Those policies are sanctuary city policies and won't be tolerated in Texas," Abbott said."Elected officials and law enforcement agencies, they don't get to pick and choose which laws they will obey."
Abbott said ignoring requests for cooperation from federal immigration authorities has had "deadly consequences," pointing to the death of Katie Steinle in San Francisco as an example. Steinle was killed in 2015 by an unauthorized immigrant who had a criminal record.
After signing the bill, Abbott proclaimed: "Texas has now banned sanctuary cities in the Lone Star State. ... The reason why so many people come to America is because we are a nation of laws, and Texas is doing its part to keep it that way."
By 7 p.m., protesters had started gathering at the Governor's Mansion to object to the bill signing.
"With SB 4, Texas Republicans have cemented their reputation among generations of young Latinos and people of color to come," Sheridan Aguirre, a member of the immigrant youth network United We Dream, said in a written statement. "We've made up our minds -- we will not be silenced and we will remember who terrorized our families."

As I told you in this post, we're expecting a baby in September and found out about it over this weekend in NY!
Today though I'm sharing my experience in those first few weeks becuase let me tell you it is DIFFERENT for everyone. I'm lucky enough to have a few best friends who are currently pregnant as well, but all seeing different doctors with different opinions and processes and one of the biggest things I've realized is that there are a lot of right ways to do it. For example, one friend was told to take a pre-natal PLUS a DHA supplement. One was told to take a pre-natal PLUS extra folic acid. For me, the Dr said my pre-natal is all I need but I decieded to add in the DHA myself. The important thing is feeling that your Dr or Midwife is smart and capable and has brought other babies into the world successfully and will help guide you through the process the best he/she can.
So I wanted to share my experience in those really early weeks, when I saw the Dr, what she advised etc.
As I mentioned in this post we found out over a weekend in NY so once we got home on Monday I called my regular OBGYN Dr and to my surprise they had me come in on Thursday for a blood test and again the following week for more bloodwork to make sure all of my levels were rising appropriately. I had thought I wouldn't go in until 8 weeks for the ultrasound based on what I'd heard other friends go through but I was actually really appreciative of the thoroughness of them double and triple checking. It personally gave me great peace of mind.
While the ultrasound was happening the technition told me about the cyst and said a Dr would want to talk to me about it after the ultrasound.
When we did meet with the Dr after she said everything looked great with the baby but she wanted to talk about one thing, I quikcly said oh yes the cyst that the technition mentioned? To my surprise she said no, the cyst is totally normal and that is what creates the progestorine in your body before the placenta develops so that it was totally fine and normal that they would just watch it to make sure it eventually goes away.
What she wanted to discuss was a fluid sack (of course she used a way more technical term that I can't for my life remember) that she said could just be some residual blood from the implantation and that again this is very common and usually goes away but to be on the lookout for spotting.
Her advice was to refrain from any intense exercise (dagger to my heart) for the first tri-mester and especially to avoid taking/potentially even teaching hot yoga. This was pretty much the hardest bit of news for someone that takes workout classes daily and has been a devoted hot power yoga practitioner for 5 years.
At my 8 week visit with my Dr she took a couple tests, asked a bunch of qiestions, and walked me through the general timeline of events and answered questions around what I can and can't eat, etc.
The first tri-mester of course wraps up around 12 -14 weeks with another visit where I had an ultrasound, another visit with my OB, and a ton of blood drawn for genetics testing, carrier screening, and the gender tests!
We got the call at just about 13 weeks that the genetics testing came back looking good and that the gender was available! I had them email it to me in an attachment that I coudn't see (but of course made my best friend login to my gmail and check it fist to make SURE I wouldn't see it, then I passed it along to my friends over at YogaClub Box to fill our reveal box of blue or pink clothes!
Nausea. That has definitely been my biggest and yuckiest symptom but I will say I know I'm lucky that it hasn't turned into throwing up and on many days was totally manageable. Of course there were a few days when it was a rather debilitating, resulting in a few tears, feeling like I'd never feel normal again.
Acid reflux and burping - omg EW. This actually might be the yuckiest. I am NOT a burper so this new development felt really disgustig and the acid reflux that came along wasn't pleasant either. It seemed to get better by week 11/12 so currently hoping it stays that way!
Smells. I've always had a strong sense of smell and am easily bothered by them so pregnancy has only heightened the whole thing. Since we were living through construction for 3 weeks in the first tri-mester it became apparent that the construction smells (paint, and the general smell of Home Depot/dust) had me feeling SO SO queasy. It even got to the point where if I didn't have a scarf wrapped around my face in almost every part of our home except one guest bedroom I would start to gag. This resulted in leaving our house and staying with friends/family for a week while our place was fumigated!! The smell didn't really go away for me even after that but my doctor put me on these great anti-nausea pills that majorly helped, but they do make you fairly sleepy. Some days were rough, most were fine but they helped me life a fairly normal life where I could start cooking and LIVE in my home again.
Feeling lazy. I have generally been really lucky that I'm not insanely exhausted, in fact I've barely napped. But I just generally feel a bit unmotivated and that in turn has left me feeling a little guilty and lazy. It has however helped (despite not being allowed to do hard workouts) to at least get to the gym once a day to take an uphill mile long walk on the treadmill followed by light weights and stretching.
Carbs - any and all. I try to be selective by eating GF oats without any added sugars or sweeteners, these flaz seed waffles, and this sprouted toast but sometimes you end up with pasta and white bread and saltines and you just gotta let it go.
Crackers - speaking of saltines... actually my go to has been pretzels. I accidently bought bag of rye pretzels at Trader Joe's but they oddly caught on and now I love them. Graham crackers have been pretty good too.
Salt - OMG I crave salt in everything. I used to make scrambled eggs dry with no salt or pepper. Now i have to cook them in a little butter and salt. *sorry not sorry - it's a phase*. Also Live Love Pop lightly salted popcorn has saved my life on a few occasions.
Red meat - this one is particularly annoying since I set out a year ago to massively reduce my red meat & dairy consumption. And while I still velieve in it, right now when it's one of the only protein sources my body is craving I've had to cave on a few occasions.
Other random things that have helped: jolly ranchers (apparently they help with nasea and I have to say I think they do), grapes (a great go to snack that you can eat slowly and munch on over the course of a half hour), pretzels (for me a great snack on the go), bananas (my lifesavers in the middle of the night, I always keep one next to the bed).
What I've mostly realized in the first tri-mester regarding eating is that I am almost always hungry and of course I get REALLY hungry every couple of hours but it doesn't take a lot to fill me up and I really prefer to eat slowly. Which is all intersting because I'm usually a fast eater and can eat a lot before I feel sick, now I eat half of what I used to eat and feel painfully full. I've tried really hard to listen to that and stop when I'm full which isn't my natural tendency!
I also found that keeping a banana next to the bed in case I woke up at 3am painfully hungry was really helpful, and eating right away when I woke up. That first meal was usually plain oatmeal with berries or cottage cheese with grapefruit, then after teaching my first class of the day and working out I'd make scrambled eggs, more fruit and sometimes avocado toast.
All in all I learned that everyone experiences it differently and you just have to try your hardest not to be impatient with yourself or your body. It's easier said than done but just know you're not alone and the reason youre feeling sick is becuase your body is doing something really wonderful, the yucky feelings are just a side effect.


From the moment Meghan Markle and Prince Harry announced they were expecting their very first royal baby our eyes were firmly fixed on the Duchess' style.
Even before her pregnancy, Markle has always had keen sense of style and a love for high fashion. In 2018, the year she married, her wardrobe was estimated to have come to a grand total of $710,000.
Now that she's moments away from giving birth the cost of her maternity wardrobe has been revealed.
LovetheSales.com have been doing there own style-stalking and calculations and have estimated Markle has already spent 500,000 pounds on her style, which equals almost one million Aussie dollars!
From the day the news broke, in September, to now, the Duchess has been spotted at various events and appearances in 75 outfits, with each costing an average of $12,500.
While we don't all have her royal budget to dress our bumps, Markle did prove she can also be relatable by mixing it up with some affordable pieces -- pieces that naturally sold out seconds after the Duchess was spotted wearing them.
Let's take a closer look at the mum-to-be's maternity wardrobe.
Of course a red carpet event calls for a luxe designer gown and for the Duchess that's a black and white Oscar de la Renta.
While attending the Australian Geographic Society Awards in Sydney Markle was spotted wearing and $18,500 (approx.) Oscar de la Renta gown with $900 (approx.) Aquazzura heels.
The H&M dress she wore during a visit to Mayhew, an animal welfare charity she is now supporting as patron, was the Duchess' most affordable outfit during her pregnancy to date.
The white-beige dress, paired with a matching coloured coat, was a less-than-$50 buy for the Duchess, whose influence ensured the knit dress -- called Mama Fine -- sold out in moments.
Black and navy have been Markle's go-to. The Duchess has been spotted in the dark flattering colours a total of 44 times, according to fashion search engine, LovetheSales.com.
Aquazzura and Givenchy are the designers most-worn by the Duchess over the past eight months.
According to LovetheSales.com she has worn Aquazzura nine times (her black Aquazzura bow pumps we've spotted numerous times) and Givenchy seven times.
Here she is at the opening of Oceania at the Royal Academy of Arts in London, wearing a Givenchy dress and those Aquazzura heels, again.

We're Obsessed With This New (Old) Show
April 23, 2019 / PJ and Thomas McKay
And if you recognize the kitchen above, you're most likely obsessed with it, too.
The last few weeks we've been finishing up Sabrina on Netflix, Game of Thrones came back on, so PJ's been getting into that again, and we're loving the new documentary Our Planet that just came out on Netflix. We also already told y'all about the shows we can't get enough of a few weeks back. But there's one show that has absolutely without a doubt totally consumed our attention lately: The Fosters.
Have you seen it? It started in 2013 on ABC Family (which then became FreeForm) and just ended its five season run last summer, so we are most definitely late to the party, but we're almost glad we waited this long because we can watch every single episode on Netflix whenever we want! Serious question: what did we do before streaming?
It's about two lesbians, Stef and Lena, and their five kids (one biologically belongs to Stef, while the other four were fostered and then later adopted), as they navigate home life, relationships, work, and school. It shows the ups and downs of family life and how chaotic yet beautiful it can be. It's one of those special shows that appeals to kids and adults, with very real depictions of both.
Did we mention they live in a gorgeous old craftsman home? Y'all know we've been known to watch movies and tv shows for the houses alone (no shame) and this one does not disappoint. But besides the eye candy, this show regularly displays what a real marriage is like, and we sometimes forget we're watching a television show. Not only is it out of the ordinary to show a long term LGBTQ relationship on TV, it's also somewhat rare to show them having issues, problems, disagreements and arguments. But this show goes there. It deals with things like Stef and Lena having struggles with intimacy after being together for so long, or the hardships of raising a big family and trying to be there for every one of your kids. This show isn't afraid to show that it's not always rainbows and sunny days in a marriage, and that it takes hard work to make it last.
Besides that, there are so many real, important issues that it brings up. It deals with foster kids and how heartbreaking the foster care system can be. It deals with divorce and parents who aren't exactly there for their kids. It deals with bi-racial couples and kids and even shows one of the main characters struggling to come out at a young age (12 years old!).Saying we wish we had a show like this when we were young would be an understatement.
We're on season three currently and honestly get sad when we think about it ending. Do you do that, too? It's like finishing a good book and wanting there to be at least one more chapter. We're not even at the end yet and we're already dreading it. BUT- the good news is there's a spinoff called Good Trouble that's on FreeForm, and if it's anything like The Fosters, we're already hooked.
Have you seen The Fosters? What other LGBTQ shows do you find yourself relating to?

Does Time Really Heal All?
On Coming Out Pt. IV

Amount of Compensation
In order to promote consistency and assist the courts, personal injury solicitors and other advisers, the Judicial Studies Board publish a set of guidelines for the level of injury awards for a broad range of injuries. The information, which follows, has been taken from those guidelines. Whilst the guidelines are very useful and provide a good general indicator of the level of damages which may be paid, it should be remembered that no two cases are ever the same and general damage claims for injuries resulting from accidents will always reflect the individual circumstances of the particular in dividual and the injuries he or she has suffered and claims will be assessed accordingly.
Accidents Leading to Leg Injuries Compensation Claims
Where there are extremely serious injuries to the legs resulting in amputation of both legs, claims for compensation for personal injury should expect to be settled for between �125,000 and �145,000. These sums would expect to be paid in claims where both of the legs were amputated above the knee. The closer the point of amputation to the hip, the higher the level of personal injury claims settlement within this bracket. The shorter the stump left after the amputation, the more difficult it will be to fit a prosthesis and, accordingly, compensation awards will be at the higher end of this particular scale.
In accidents where the injuries to the legs are below the knees and the compensation is sought for amputation of the legs below the knees, the range of settlement will be lower. Compensation within the bracket �105,000 and �140,000 should expect to be paid.
Where the personal injury claim is for compensation for above knee amputation of one leg only, the claim should be settled within the region �50,000 and �72,500. Within that scale, variations in the amount paid would depend upon the degree of pain and discomfort continuing to be felt by the accident victim together with the difficulty of fitting a prosthesis and the occurrence of psychological conditions such as depression.
Below knee amputation of one leg, would attract a personal injury award of between �47,500 and �67,500. Claims would be settled at the lower end of this bracket where the injury was uncomplicated and greater sums would be paid depending upon factors such as the number of operations taken to achieve the final state of the leg and particularly where amputation took place after several operations and amputations took place several years after the accident.
Moving down the scale of claims settlement, sums in the region of �50,000 to �70,000 wpuld be paid for the most serious injuries which do not actually require amputation. Claims would be settled within this bracket where, for example, the legs were very extensively fractured and, perhaps, bone grafting and the insertion of pins and plates was required. In many claims settled within this range, there will have been marked shortening of one or both legs.
Where the accident results in serious injuries to the legs but those injuries are not quite as severe as those in the bracket above, claims for personal injury compensation should expect to be settled for between �28,500 and �43,750. Typically, within this range, the accident victim will have sustained personal injuries such as multiple fractures that have taken years to heal but have left the victim continuing to suffer pain and restrictions in mobility. There will usually be the potential for the early onset of arthritis in claims settlement within this bracket.
In compensation claimsfor personal injuries to the legs such as serious injuries to the joints or ligaments with a resultant loss in stability of the joint coupled with lengthy treatment periods and the inevitability of arthritis, claims may be settled between �20,000 and �28, 500. Typically, claims for personal injury settled in this range, will feature items such as hip replacement and extensive scarring.
Personal injury claims may be paid within the range �14,500 and �20,000 where there are serious complicated or multiple fractures. Once again, typically, the injuries will not have healed perfectly and there may be some reduction in muscle mass, the knee joint may be unstable and there may be reasonably extensive scarring and cosmetic disfigurement.
Where the accident resulted in fractures which are uncomplicated but which leave a degree of instability or disability, claims for compensation for personal injury may be settled within the bracket �9,250 and �14, 500. Characteristically, within this range, the accident victim will be left with a degree of sensory loss and perhaps some pain and discomfort.
A personal injury compensation claimant may receive up to �7,250 in claims where there is a simple fracture of the femur which heals in an uncomplicated way. Up to �4,750 may be the level of personal injury claims settlement where a complete recovery from fracture of the tibia of fibula has been made. Accident victims suffering soft tissue injuries, cuts and bruises and, perhaps, a very minor degree of cosmetic scarring would receive lesser sums in compensation.

Q: "Device already has a newer version" error So my previous version of my app had in the gradle file
    versionCode 17
    versionName "0.0.28"

But I wanted to update my app to use the system in this article, like so:
def versionMajor = 0
def versionMinor = 0
def versionPatch = 29
    ...
    versionCode versionMajor * 10000 + versionMinor * 100 + versionPatch
    versionName "${versionMajor}.${versionMinor}.${versionPatch}"

Now given the above code, you'd expect versionCode to come out as 29, but what happens is strange -- when I try to update it from version 17, it gives the error "Installation failed since the device already has a newer version of this application." BUT when I do the same as above, but just write versionCode 29, I don't get that error at all.
Why would I get that error when 29 is produced by code but not when I hardcode the number?

A: Try to delete the build folders and then clean build your app

Biomatrica offers an integrated, modular approach to sample management, sample shipping and sample storage. The technologies offer greater sample consistency and dependability for storage and transport, whilst maintaining the highest sample quality for reliable results.
The Biomatrica ambient temperature storage reagents can reduce costs of long term nucleic acid storage (see the application note in the downloads section) and allow researchers to avoid the high cost of dry ice shipments of Blood, DNA and RNA.
Once purified, DNA and RNA can be readily stabilised using DNAStable and RNAStable, and recovery of the template is as simple as adding water. The nucleic acids, once reconstituted, can be used directly in demanding downstream applications such as NGS, RT-qPCR, and transfection. In fact, during product development, Biomatrica was a little surprised to see that DNAStable preserved template out-performed DNA stored at -80 in downstream PCRs and upon further work it was realized that the most likely cause of this was molecular aggregation caused by the stablisation reagents.
RNAStable is particularly valuable for shipping valuable templates to service providers for micro-array or NGS services, not only does it dramatically reduce the cost of shipping, typically by thousands of dollars, it also provides a guarantee of security that all too often is not concomitant with dry ice shipping services, both nationally and, in particular, internationally.

Garner has lots to do during the summer months, but two of my family's favorites include the Music Off Main concert series and the Garner Parks & Rec Outdoor movie series. Both events give us the opportunities to spend time outdoors and allows for inexpensive entertainment practically in our back yard.
The Music Off Man series is in its sixth year and runs monthly from May to Sept. The venue used to be on Main St Garner, but it has been moved to the back Lawn of the Garner Performing Arts Center (125 Avery Street) to give more space and accommodate parking.
Entertainment starts at 6pm and runs to 9pm and bands vary from beach music to reggae, to classic rock to country. Bring your chairs or blankets, but coolers are not allowed. Family-friendly food and beverages available for purchase. And the best part…the event is free!!
Lake Benson Park (921 Buffaloe Road) is the scene for Friday Family Flicks. These movies are family friendly with a 30-foot outdoor movie screen placed on the main stage. Don't forget your chairs or blankets to sit on the grassy slope in front of the stage. Refreshments are for sale but coolers are welcome. These movies are FREE to the public. Come early to get a good seat. Movies begin at 8:30 p.m.
Hope to see you around this summer!!

Saturday, Sept. 19 marks the tenth anniversary of Sound Transit's passenger service. The agency served its first passengers on that day in 1999, rolling out the first ST Express regional buses linking communities in King, Pierce and Snohomish counties.
Over the last decade Sound Transit's blue and white wave has spread across the region. Service expansions have included more ST Express routes, new transit centers and direct access HOV ramps, Sounder commuter trains between Tacoma and Seattle as well as Everett and Seattle, Tacoma Link light rail, and Central Link light rail service that got underway in July.
As Sound Transit has added more and more services over the past 10 years, the riders have followed. The agency saw a little more than 1 million boardings in 1999; last year more than 16 million riders chose Sound Transit to get where they needed to go.
"We've done a lot in our first decade, and more is on the way," said Sound Transit Board Chair and Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels.
ST Express was the first service Sound Transit launched after work began in 1997 to implement the Sound Move ballot measure. Since then, ST Express buses have carried more than 82 million riders to their destinations via limited-stop express routes.
Today the ST Express fleet includes 243 buses that make 1,382 weekday trips on 26 routes. The fleet includes 40- and 60-foot diesel buses, 60-foot hybrid buses, 40-foot natural gas buses, 45-foot over-the-road coaches and one 40-foot hybrid bus. Sound Transit contracts with Community Transit, King County Metro and Pierce Transit to operate and maintain ST Express buses.
So far, Sound Transit has invested more than $800 million in new transit centers, park-and-ride lots, direct-access freeway ramps and other capital projects supporting the ST Express network and other bus service around the region.
Sound Transit's popular Sounder commuter rail service carried its first passengers on Sept. 18, 2000, with two round trip trains each weekday between Tacoma and Seattle with stops in Puyallup, Sumner, Auburn, Kent, and Tukwila. Today, nine Sounder round trips operate on that corridor, and in November 2008 voters approved expanding service by 65 percent with longer trains and four more round trips. Everett-Seattle Sounder service got underway in 2002 and now includes four daily round trips, with stops in Mukilteo and Edmonds.
Tacoma Link light rail service began in August 2003 and surpassed its 2010 ridership projection in the first year of operations. Central Link light rail opened on July 18, 2009 between downtown Seattle and Tukwila, and direct service to the airport is on schedule to start this December. University Link light rail is under construction and scheduled to open in 2016. The 2008 Sound Transit 2 ballot measure approved 36 additional miles of light rail to form a 55-mile regional system.

The OnePlus 6 after one year: enraptured by software
Authored by: Shu On Kwok 7 months ago
Almost 12 months have now passed since OnePlus presented the 6 series and put it on sale. Since then, the OnePlus 6 has accompanied me through highs and lows in my daily smartphone life. Time to draw a conclusion.
If you follow the publishing rhythm in the smartphone industry, you would have to buy a new smartphone every 12 months at the latest. But a smartphone in the first weeks, if not in the first months, is hardly the same as after 12 months. The hardware does not change over time, but the software does. After more than a year with the OnePlus 6, I have to admit that this component is and will remain the addictive factor in this smartphone.
The OnePlus 6 is not exactly a beauty. / © AndroidPIT
OnePlus 6: the ugly duckling among smartphones
If it's about the exterior, then I wouldn't really go for a OnePlus smartphone. After only 12 months, the design of the smartphone has already become obsolete. While Huawei, Samsung and Co are already courting buyers with color gradients on the shelves, the OnePlus 6 seems somehow boring and the design outdated after one year.
Hotly discussed and also criticized, but in everyday life notch is not really noticed anymore / © AndroidPIT
Also from the front the wide notch looks very old-fashioned. But let's be honest: after buying a smartphone, who is going to keep looking at the back of it and hope to still be emotionally on cloud nine after 12 months. Isn't it rather the case that over time you don't think about the design of your smartphone anymore? At least that's what happened to me, because in everyday life completely different values count with the OnePlus 6.
Opinion by Shu On Kwok
You don't notice the notch at all after 12 months.
With a trick the camera will actually be good
Ok, when it comes to cameras, whether for photography or videos, OnePlus has never really been a threat to Apple, Samsung and Huawei. But it is not as bad as it is sometimes propagated in public. At least not if you use the Google Camera App port instead of the Stock Camera app. Thanks to developers who port the camera app only meant to be compatible with Google's own Pixel smartphones to OnePlus smartphones, the OnePlus 6 can actually take very nice photos.
Even in very poor lighting conditions. Sure, the camera hardware built into the OnePlus 6 prevents you from getting close to the quality of the Pixel 3 XL, but it's amazing what the Gcam port for the OnePlus 6 can do with the photos.
The disadvantage of using an unofficial port is that you have to take care of the updating of the app yourself and you have to live with bugs and crashes from time to time.
With the Google Cam you get better photos. / © AndroidPIT

OnePlus Fast Charge dispels the battery worries
The battery life of the OnePlus 6 is satisfactory. Almost 5 hours of display on time were the rule in my long-term test. But at least once a day the OnePlus 6 had to be connected to the quick charger when I was using it. If you want to have an endurance runner who, despite intensive use, only needs to be connected to a power supply shortly before going to bed, you should rather stay away from the OnePlus 6. Personally, it didn't bother me much. As with almost all everyday objects, one incorporates into the daily routine.
The quick charging technology of OnePlus is very helpful when socj times the battery level on the day nourishes to zero. / © AndroidPIT
With the OnePlus 6, the purchase of a second power supply and one for the car was mandatory after just a few weeks. At work and when traveling, the OnePlus quick-charging power supply is used to ensure that the battery is charged at least 80 percent in the shortest possible time in emergencies. For charging at home and overnight, I usually use a power supply unit that charges the OnePlus 6 slowly and gently. But placing strategic charging stations has always been part of my everyday life.
I'm happy without wireless charging if fast charging is available
The software is the star
OnePlus has always placed great emphasis on the software and a fluid everyday experience. Anyone who has ever used a OnePlus smartphone for a long time will understand me when I say that OxygenOS is one of the most fluid software experiences on a smartphone. Apps start fast, content builds up fast and scrolling through the app drawer is a pleasure.
Twelve months have left their mark on OnePlus 6 and the sandstone shell. / © AndroidPIT
Android purists love OxygenOS because it comes very close to Google's Stock Android. What OnePlus also integrates in terms of adjustments promotes the individuality of the user. From accent colors, status bar configuration to gesture control, you can customize the software to your own taste.
But with all the praise there is also a lot to "criticize". Why do you need an independent gallery app in this day and age? Google Photos is pre-installed, it would be sufficient to use these. Google Assistant can now be started silently by pressing the power button for 0.5 seconds after a software update, but it requires long training to internalize the pressing time. I personally think that Shelf is superfluous too, but an option to open Google Discover with a right-click is not anchored in the settings. Mind you, these are really just little things and you can get along with them over time.
Is the purchase of a OnePlus 6 still worthwhile?
Even after one year, the OnePlus 6 is still doing a good job and is convincing, especially thanks to the software. In terms of performance and usability in everyday life, the OnePlus 6 is still one of the top smartphones. You have to accept compromises in terms of camera quality and battery life. So long as you are aware of this, the OnePlus 6 still deserves a recommendation in 2019. Unfortunately OnePlus has already stopped the production of the OnePlus 6, so it is difficult to buy one brand new.
OnePlus 6 Hardware Review
LONGLIVEWISDOM 7 months ago Link to comment
Oneplus's Oxygen OS is a powerful software. So powerful that it literally kills all background applications forcefully like EMUI and MIUI, in fact worse than those and in spite of the so called those batter optimization settings nothing much can be done about it. Shame!
Oneplus being close to Stock Android may be true on UI front, may be because at its inception it wanted the support of Stock Android loving Tech Enthusiast community for its growth. But for maximizing profits, just like any ambitious company, and much like most Chinese brands, it aggressively advertises its products and employs all tricks and tactics to create hype around its Oneplus smartphone. Come on, it is just a smartphone brand that has decided to use flagship processor from Qualcomm, and incorporating some last years well tested innovation has decided to sell a bit cheaper than the competition with subpar cameras till today. I swear, if
you specifically talk about still photography, available at half the price, Mi A1 was better than Oneplus 5, Redmi Note 5 Pro (India and China only) and Mi A2 better than Oneplus 6, and definitely... definitely today at One fourth the price with the same Sony 586, Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 pro (China and India only) unarguably takes better photos than Oneplus 7 Pro.
And here we have youtubers (some, free flight tickets, hotel stay) raving Oneplus 7Pro's camera and overall and even pose to revel Oneplus's wireless bullets, which are great at everything except sound quality. Sheesh... you get what you pay for and that's definitely true with Oneplus, neither less nor more.
Chronop123 7 months ago Link to comment
Have you actually used an OnePlus 6 and Mi A2? Taken photos with them or better, actually tested both back to back in the same conditions? I have. Both with the phones' stock camera apps and their respective GCam ports, the OnePlus 6 was consistently better with more details, better dynamic range and overall more capable in ALL lighting conditions. As far as video goes the OP6 is miles better. If you want to compare the two phones in other areas, the OP6 has a brighter, bigger screen with better colours. The battery in those two phones has a difference of 10% more capacity in the OP6 but the battery life with similar usage is consistently 20% or, usually more, better in the OP6. In the materials department, again, the OP6 is of higher quality. That all leaves us with the elephant in the room, which is software and I say it is the elephant in the room because one is an OxygenOS phone and the other one an Android One phone. Having bought the Mi A2 on preorder and the OP6 6 months after it's release, the experience of having those two phones couldn't be different. While the OP6 never had any problems serious enough to impact daily usage (nor any reported in the time between it's release and my purchase) the phone always performed flawlessly. The forceful killing of apps is, indeed, an issue but not as big of one as the internet likes to make it look. On the other hand, the Mi A2 had a well documented fingerprint scanner bug that pinned it's CPU to 100% usage at ALL times (even when locked for hours and left to "doze") that made it a 2h SOT phone and took 3 months to be recognised by Xiaomi and an additional one to be fixed. The Mi A2 has suffered from launch and still does from unacceptably poor storage performance to the point where it would completely lock up and restart 2-3 times when attempting to clear anything more than 300mb of cached data from Chrome, something I've witnessed every single time. The Xiaomi Mi A2, being an Android One phone and the OnePlus 6 being a "skinned" Chinese phone would make someone think the Mi A2 would run fast, have a clean experience and be updated regularly, whereas the OP6 would be sluggish and be updated much less frequently. In reality the experience was the EXACT opposite with OP6 getting regular updates (albeit they have slowed down in the past month, probably due to OP7 release, I'm still in April security patch) and having an excellent software experience with clean and smooth being the perfect words to describe the experience. Even OnePlus's "additions" to Android have been non-intrusive and have had zero impact to the performance of the phone. On the other hand the Mi A2 has had and still does a big record of big bugs that have not been corrected almost a year after it's release and it's day to day performance, even disregarding the bugs, has not been characteristic of pure Android phone being slow at times and having worse battery performance despite a lower power chipset. In the end, I find that everything you said, is, from personal experience, totally wrong with the only exception being that you do get what you pay for. The OnePlus 6 is a premium phone that provides a premium experience with a pricetag that is actually midrange in today's world of 1000+€ smartphones, on the other hand a maker of traditionally low price phones that usually performed better than their pricetag would suggest, has made a phone with mediocre performance crippled with unrecognised and unfixed bugs. Get your facts straight.
Don't waste your time. I specifically talked about still photography.
Depending on the apps used, background killing of apps is a problem, In camera Oneplus 6 was a bit better than Mi A2, but there's a huge price difference (3 times here) , further, Xiaomi's MIUI smartphones don't have those bugs and are wildly famous in a number of Asian countries.
As for Oneplus, a number of opportunities exist where you can find top tier flagships at around 700$. That's simply better value than constant $545 oneplus.
Talking about present, I know where Oneplus 7 and Oneplus 7Pro stands compared to some of the better smartphones we have available in China, India, Philippines, considering camera and price to performance ratio. We have brands like Xiaomi, Realme, Asus models specific to India. I don't have any doubts or confusion, specially because we have a very large and independent Tech community.
Disturbed mind?
I told you what my experience was comparing still photography on those two phones. Myself. Something you clearly have not done yet still feel qualified to comment on it. Background killing of apps is not a problem and, again, as someone who has probably (you never answered my question) never touched an OP6 (any other OP phone conering how uninformed you are about them), you cannot know how much of a problem it is. The launch price difference of those two phones is 2.2x the price of the Mi A2 for the OP6, that being said, since you mentioned sales of more expensive flagships, you need yo consider sales of the OP6 as well. I got mine for 391€ for the 8/128 model and the 6/64 was at 345€ at the time of my purchase. Literally pocophone money for a much better phone. All brands you mentioned are cheaper lower quality brands with inexcusably badly written and optimised software and well documented issues. Only exception being Xiaomi in it's MiUI phones indeed. I totally understand someone not being able to spend more than 200€ on a phone and there have been great choices in that category in the past few years. I'm just allergic to uninformed people spreading misinformation.
You said " All brands you mentioned are cheaper lower quality brands with inexcusably badly written and optimised software and well documented issues". 😂😂😂
Doesn't oneplus smartphones have issues. They too have a myriad of issues, including well documented privacy concerns.
Realme is a sub-brand of OPPO just like Oneplus. Uses most of its patented technologies. Asus is a well established technology enterprise and uses stock Android in its Max Pro series.
You seem to have some other problems in your life, you can frankly share them if you want. 😂
Oneplus is not a bad smartphone, so what's your problem when I am highlighting the issues associated with it? Well it does settles, it is not a small company and it is not one step ahead of the competition. All these are silly sop stories, fairy tales, a reality distortion field created by Oneplus.
Realme, just like OPPO do write bad software for their phones. OnePlus WAS a spin off company from OPPO that followed a different philosophy that ended being proven superior. ASUS has always made sub par phones with the exception being phones released from 2018 onwards were they've clearly tried to improve by using better materials and an almost clean version of Android. That said, budget ASUS phones are still lacking when compared with Xiaomi's offerings. OP, just like all brands has it's problems, but you don't seem to know what those are, you're blindly hating and making out of reality statements (that Mi A2 is a better handset than an OP6 or that RealMe phones have skins that aren't laggy, stuttery messes) and I'm showing you just how out of touch you are. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE go on a few forums and read a few reviews before you attempt to write an answer to my comments again because your misinformation is frankly painful and disturbing.
Coward you are answerless. 😂😂
You get your facts straight and better target and improve upon your misinformation. Get your facts straight. I have seen people using Realme smartphones since it's launch, still getting updates and Color OS has improved a lot. No lag and stutters. Oneplus's smartphone design have been inspired by OPPO, its pop-up camera and in display fingerprint scanner is VIVO tech, which with OPPO comes under BBK electronics. Warp Charging/ Dash Charging is OPPO's super secret, patented VOOC charging tech. Oneplus smartphones are still made by OPPO in its manufacturing establishments. Don't have knowledge?
And currently Oneplus 7 Pro is being flagged by several software bugs such as ghost touches, battery drain, camera focusing issues in macro shots, crushing blacks in daylight.
Just your Ego, incurable fanaticism.

White House wants universal broadband by 2030, but funding could take years to deliver
Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said she is committed to the administration's goal of universal broadband by 2030, but cautioned that distributing funds from the new infrastructure law to meet that deadline could take years.
"I knew the president would be able to deliver on this," Raimondo said in an interview with CNBC. "We've been working on it since I've gotten here. We haven't waited for the bill to pass."
The trillion-dollar infrastructure package that President Biden signed into law last month includes $65 billion to improve broadband access and affordability. Most of that is funneled through Commerce, and Raimondo said that some of those dollars – such as money for tribal governments – are starting to trickle out.
But the bulk of the funding will take longer. The department plans to set up a process for states to apply for the money by May. It's also waiting on the FCC to update its controversial broadband access maps, expected around the middle of next year. Disbursing the money may not occur until 2023.
Still, Raimondo said she is confident that every household will be connected by the end of the decade – if not sooner.
"People will start to see relief immediately," she said. "But it will take us years in order to get it all out the door effectively to achieve the vision of making sure every single American has high-speed, affordable broadband."
The department is already in talks with state and local leaders as well as industry executives, whom Raimondo called "critical" to getting the infrastructure bill passed. On Wednesday, she will hold a virtual roundtable with Etsy CEO Josh Silverman, eBay CEO Jamie Iannone, Airbnb co-founder Nathan Blecharczyk and Block (formerly Square) CFO Amrita Ahuja to discuss the importance of broadband access to their bottom line and the country's economic growth.
According to the Federal Communications Commission, about 14.5 million people do not have access to high-speed internet. But outside experts warn the number is likely much higher.
Broadband Now projects as many as 42 million people lack access to high-speed internet. Microsoft has said as many as half of all Americans do not use broadband, even if they have access to it.
Connectivity also varies within each state. Polling from Pew Research shows only 72 percent of households in rural communities reported having access to broadband at home, compared to 79 percent in urban areas.
"There is a political divide which is contributing to the budget divide, which is contributing to the digital divide," said Bhaskar Chakravorti, dean of global business at the Fletcher School at Tufts University and founder of its Digital Planet research initiative.
Closing the gap could actually cost as much as $240 billion, he said, more than double the amount the administration has pledged to spend. Strengthening public-private partnerships could be one way to make up the difference.
"The private sector benefits from having a community that is internet-connected," Chakravorti said.
Broadband access is a priority not only for large tech companies, but also for the small businesses that rely on their platforms. Raimondo said female entrepreneurs could especially benefit.
"Women are not back in the workforce the way we were pre-pandemic," she said. "One way for women to make some money in a flexible way and still be able to be there for their families is selling on Etsy, being a host on Airbnb. But you cannot do that without broadband."
Katherine Eggers and her husband moved to a nine-acre farm in rural Colorado in the middle of the pandemic. Cell service is spotty among the lavender fields and sagebrush. And for the first month in her new home, there was no high-speed internet – a major problem for a virtual yoga instructor.
"I thought I was going to have to quit my online job because there wasn't good internet," Eggers recalled. "It was definitely on the table."
However, she soon got connected through a nonprofit that specializes in wireless broadband, allowing Eggers to earn her living entirely from their dream home.
Now, her yoga classes are going strong. She installed high-speed internet in her guest house and started renting it out on Airbnb for $85 a night. In fact, her internet connection now works so well that Eggers decided to enroll in a master's program in counseling – online.
"When we bought this house, we said this is where we're going to die," Eggers said. "So we plan to be here for a very long time."

nesses of the chemical marketplace.
Recent postings have seen fluctuating, but generally positive economic conditions for the chemical marketplace as a whole, with year-over-year increases in production and pricing levels. Recent ACC reports also indicated that market productivity is accelerating at a pace that hasn't been seen since the first quarter of 2011.
One of the dynamics surrounding this economic push has been gains in the pharmaceutical marketplace.
Overall economic indicators feeding growth in this and other sectors include lower energy prices, steady inflation rates, rising consumer confidence, improving pay levels and lower unemployment rates. An example of how these factors are encouraging growth in the pharmaceutical sector include year-over-year production increases for the month of May. Additionally, imported pharmaceutical product prices have been flat, while exported product pricing has increased, meshing with overall price increases.
