This not create...
public class DaggerApplication extends Application {
IDaggerFactory component;

public static IDaggerFactory component(Context context){
    return ((DaggerApplication) context.getApplicationContext()).component;
}

@Override
public void onCreate(){
    super.onCreate();

    component = -->DaggerIDaggerFactory<--
                .builder()
                .daggerUser(new DaggerUser())
                .build();
}

}

A: That's because this method in your component interface  doesn't actually do anything. Remove it.
void inject();

EDIT:
Okay, just got home from vacation. So first thing, removing void inject() fixes the following error:

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:compileDebugJavaWithJavac'.
  java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: not a valid component method: inject()

After that, it says "Cannot find symbol" in DaggerApplication because it hasn't been imported yet, so I added the import

import com.gc986.dagger2test.di.DaggerIDaggerFactory;

And then it compiled successfully
So in reality, you forgot to import the newly generated DaggerIDaggerFactory class in your Java file

Webinar on Landscape Report on Early Grade Literacy
The Global Reading Network invites you to a Webinar on the Landscape Report on Early Grade Literacy
Time: 10:00 - 11:30 AM (EST)
Description: The issue of literacy--- especially in the early grades-has garnered much-needed attention globally in the last decade. Evidence of poor reading outcomes has focused both government and donor funding on efforts to improve literacy instruction and student achievement, especially in medium and low income countries. After more than a decade of effort, what key lessons have we learned about what works? The goal of the Landscape Report was to rigorously review evidence from the existing research base on early grade literacy outcomes and instruction in developing country context and to identify effective and promising practices, as well as gaps in the literature and evidence. Topics of the review included child-level factors (skills needed to develop literacy skills); instructional factors (effective instructional approaches); and larger contextual factors within which the student is embedded (e.g., home literacy environment, language of instruction, and larger system issues such as teacher education), and long-run considerations (e.g., sustainability, costs, and scaling up).
Our review found that explicit and systematic instruction on multi-components (e.g., phonological awareness, phonics) has yielded large and robust effects in decoding-related skills such as emergent literacy skills, word reading, and reading fluency. However, evidence is inconsistent and insufficient in the areas of higher-order skills (i.e., discourse-level oral language, reading comprehension and writing), instruction in multilingual contexts, and long-run considerations. The Landscape Report on Early Grade Reading offers a comprehensive model of the process of learning to read and write, and highlights the balance required between decoding-related skills and higher-order skills, which are often not given sufficient attention in literacy interventions. Research gaps and future directions will be discussed from the perspectives of systemic, long-term, and cumulative approaches.

Q: I am using gh-pages to deploy a github page but I'm getting an error now when it was working fine before in my package.json, I have the proper homepage. I installed gh-pages and added these two scripts
"predeploy": "npm run build",
"deploy": "gh-pages -d build"

This is everything that shows up in the terminal
git-upload-pack '.': git-upload-pack: command not found
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE

What could be the issue and how do I fix it? Thanks for the help!

A: Check if you need to configure the gh-pages npm task with its repo option

options.repo
type: string
default: url for the origin remote of the current dir (assumes a git repository)

By default, gh-pages assumes that the current working directory is a git repository, and that you want to push changes to the origin remote.
If instead your script is not in a git repository, or if you want to push to another repository, you can provide the repository URL in the repo option.
Example use of the repo option:

/**
 * If the current directory is not a clone of the repository you want to work
 * with, set the URL for the repository in the `repo` option.  This usage will
 * push all files in the `src` config to the `gh-pages` branch of the `repo`.
 */
ghpages.publish('dist', {
  repo: 'https://example.com/other/repo.git'
}, callback);

A: I was actually able to solve the problem by installing the latest version of Node.js. That fixed everything right up, thanks!

All of our prevention services are designed to meet the specific needs of patients in our care, other individuals, families and the community at large.
Keystone staff members would be more than happy to work themselves out of a job—which is why we devote as many resources as possible to preventative measures.
Through our work in schools and other community organizations, as well as our work with businesses learning to avoid selling to minors, we hope to drastically reduce substance use in York County. After all, it's impossible to develop a substance use disorder if you never begin using drugs or alcohol.
Keystone works to provide programs to educate individuals on how to heal, better care for themselves and how to avoid situations that might lead to reoccurrence.
Community education is the main tool that Keystone uses to prevent substance use disorders.
Our education programs, presentations and other resources help participants better understand drug and alcohol use and teach effective strategies for coping with genetic predisposition and other factors that contribute to substance use.
Keystone offers a number of education programs geared toward the prevention of drug and alcohol use, including programs that address the individual needs of adolescents and adults. Through our education programs, participants learn about the social and psychological risk factors commonly present with the misuse of substances and practice new assertiveness techniques.
Contact Keystone for a tailored presentation for your group. Prevention specialists are available to deliver presentations for your school, church or other community organization. Please call our Prevention Center at (803) 324-4118 to schedule a time or email info@keystoneyork.org.

Q: Relative Order of Overlays in Beamer I am creating a presentation with beamer using relative overlays. When the order overlays should appear in is different from the order the tex code is parsed things become difficult (see e.g. relative overlays).
First Part
Consider the following example. It is not easy to understand the order of appearance, and neither is it easy to come up with the code to achieve the desired order. With more complicated code things become very unwieldy.
Note that I do not care whether the overlays contain list items or tikz elements or something. It should be a general solution.
Currently:
\documentclass{beamer}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
\begin{itemize}
\item<+(2)-> First item, appears third
\item<+(-1)-> Second item, appears first
\item<+(1)-> Third item, appears fourth
\item<+(-2)-> Fourth item, appears second
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}
\end{document}

I would like to know if there is a way to define the order of overlays independent of the order of appearance in the document. A possible example is given at below.
Wanted (Does not compile)
\documentclass{beamer}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
\begin{itemize}
\item<foo1> First item, appears third
\item<foo2> Second item, appears first
\item<foo3> Third item, appears fourth
\item<foo4> Fourth item, appears second
\end{itemize}
\setorder{foo2, foo4, foo1, foo3}
\end{frame}
\end{document}

Second Part
Additionally, I would like that overlays also can disappear. Consider the following command. The intention is that the first overlay shows the items labeled by foo1 and foo3. The second overlay shows the items labeled by foo1 and foo2, etc.
\setorder{ {foo1, foo3}, {foo1, foo2}, {foo3, foo4}, {foo2, foo4} }

A: Not really symbolic overlay specifications, but an easy attempt towards your first problem:
\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{etoolbox}

\def\againframeorder<#1>#2{%
  \def\do##1{\againframe<##1>{#2}}
  \docsvlist{#1}%
}

\setbeamercovered{transparent}

\begin{document}
\begin{frame}<beamer:0>[label=foo]
  \begin{itemize}
    \item<1> First item, appears third
    \item<2> Second item, appears first
    \item<3> Third item, appears fourth
    \item<4> Fourth item, appears second
  \end{itemize}
\end{frame}

\againframeorder<2,4,1,3>{foo}

\end{document}

Basically, we use the absolute overlay numbers as "symbols" here, but do not ship out the respective frames (<beamer:0>). We then use a loop with \againframe to ship them out in the intended order.

A: After some time I got the 'setorder' command working, which makes the example relatively easy to define. I will try to use it and see whether its useful. Sorry for the bad indention.
I asked an extended version of this question on this site.

Advocating for a provincial funding review, as well as helping first-time trustees find their feet, will be some of the main tasks facing the Delta school board, now that its members have been officially sworn in.
Ten-year veteran trustee Laura Dixon, who was re-elected chair during the new board's inaugural meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 6, said the incoming board would need to work closely with education partners and other levels of government in the months ahead.
"Some of the tasks facing this board in the coming months include continuing our advocacy on the funding formula review process to ensure that our next budget is supported with stable, predictable and sufficient funding," Dixon said.
The funding formula review had been a topic of concern for the previous board, as the provincial government is re-examining how it distributes funds to school districts.

"We will continue to build strong working relationships with all of our education partners and the other three levels of government," Dixon added.
In addition to the oath of office ceremony, trustees also elected representatives to different committees.
Trustee Bruce Reid, who was elected to a second term on the board last month, was chosen as school board vice-chair.
Previous vice-chair Val Windsor, now in her third term of office, was elected as the representative to the provincial council of the British Columbia School Trustees' Association. Newcomer Daniel Boisvert, who ran with mayor George Harvie's Achieving for Delta slate, was elected as her alternate to the council.
Nick Kanakos, who is also in his third term on the board, was elected as its representative to the BC Public School Employers' Association and also the Provincial Bargaining Council. Reid was chosen as his alternate.
First-time trustees Erica Beard and Jessie Dosanjh, who both ran under the Achieving for Delta banner, were not elected to representative positions, but still made their first appearance at the board meeting.
The next school board meeting will be held on Dec. 11 at 7:30 p.m. at 4585 Harvest Dr. in Ladner.

When it comes to family vacations, so many things are out of our control. But if there's one thing we can control, it's packing correctly. Here, we've compiled some of the most common packing mistakes parents make, and what you can do to avoid them.
1. You're not creating a proper packing list.
Create personalized packing lists (one for yourself and one for the kids) that you can use for an upcoming trip and future vacations, too, updating your lists as needed. This way, you won't forget those small, but very important items, such as goggles for the pool.
2. You're packing for your kids.
Tell your children how many pairs of shorts, shirts, undies, socks, and pajamas they need to pack. They are more likely to wear (and rewear) clothing they choose. Plus, it gets them excited for the trip! Have kids who are unsure about packing? Check out How to Teach Your Child to Pack Their Own Bag for Vacation.
3. You're putting everything in your suitcase right away.
Instead of throwing everything in your suitcase immediately, lay everything out on the bed. It's easier to see how you've packed too much (or too little). Once you've decided what to pack, consider placing everything in packing cubes to create more space. We recommend the EZPacking Starter Set and eBags Ultralight Packing Cubes – Ultimate Packer 7pc Set.
4. You're packing uncomfortable clothes.
It sounds simple, but often that cute, but itchy dress that you love but your daughter hates gets packed, as do those shoes that look nice on your son, but hurt after an hour. Kids (and you!) won't want to wear uncomfortable clothes more than once (if that). So pack that favorite T-Shirt that your kid wants to wear every day. You may hate seeing it on him for the hundredth time but there won't be a fight when getting dressed that day, which will keep you in vacation mode.
5. You're packing too many clothes.
Pack exactly enough outfits for the days you'll be on the trip, plus one nice shirt/top/pants or dress for each family member. If you're concerned it won't be enough, pack clothing items that can easily be mixed and matched, suggests Angel Tuccy, frequent family traveler and author of Lists That Saved My Life. "Make sure the kids' skirts, pants and tops are interchangeable—two pants and two tops should make four outfits," Tuccy says.
6. You're packing more than two pair of shoes.
Pack a pair of sneakers you can wear for activities such as hiking and biking, and a pair of sandals or slip-on shoes for the pool, a nice dinner, and everything else. Wear your sneakers on the plane to save space in your luggage, and let the kids wear their no-tie shoes if it's easiest for them.
7. You're packing too many comfort items.
It might seem like a good idea to pack lots of comfort items to get kids to sleep in an unfamiliar place, but these can quickly become bulky and cumbersome. Instead, pack a smaller stuffed animal or one comfort item for the kids to snuggle.
8. You're packing diapers and pullups.
Contact the hotel pre-trip to see if there's a grocery store nearby, or better yet, use Amazon Prime to have diapers, wipes, and other essentials quickly delivered to your destination.
If you're staying at a hotel, there's no need for toiletries, as most hotels provide shampoo, conditioner, soap and/or shower gel, and body lotion. Others provide even more than that, such as shower caps, cotton balls, and Q-tips. If you have a favorite kids' shampoo or shaving cream you absolutely need for your trip, consider having it shipped to your destination—again via Amazon Prime—to save space in your luggage. Don't pack hair straighteners or curling irons, either, suggests frequent traveler, Alexa Amador. "Embrace your natural locks," she says.

Rawwater appoints Malaysian agent for oilfield reservoir souring services
We are pleased to announce that OGM (Oil and Gas Management) has been appointed as the official agent for Rawwater's oilfield reservoir souring simulation and forecasting services in Malaysia.
"I consider Rawwater's souring services to be the best in the world," says OGM managing director Dr Michael Foong. "The partnership between the two companies is a win-win situation. OGM looks forward to offering Rawwater's expertise to oil & gas reservoir operators and service companies across Malaysia and, in doing so, helping Rawwater to expand its business in the region. In Malaysia, many brownfield oil and gas reservoirs are turning sour, resulting in operators facing the reality that their topsides facilities are not designed for sour service and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) corrosion. Rawwater's unique and proven capabilities in reservoir souring forecasting and mitigation will prove to be a real benefit, by providing timely data to allow forward-planning, supported by cost-effective mitigation strategies when souring is forecasted to take place."
"As the leading name in oilfield reservoir souring forecasting and mitigation services, we look forward to assisting OGM through our world-class technologies," comments Rawwater's Senior Research Scientist, Leanne Walker. "These include our DynamicTVS (Thermal Viability Shell) predictive software modelling program and pressurised bioreactor studies, which have amassed the equivalent of more than 500 years' worth of oilfield reservoir souring data. Around the world, Rawwater gives operators and service companies the confidence to make informed decisions regarding materials used, production strategies and chemical treatments."
OGM's Dr Michael Foong was studying at the Corrosion and Protection Centre at The University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology (UMIST) back in 1985 when he first met Rawwater's MD, Professor Bob Eden PhD. "It was good to meet up with Bob again after so many years and to team up with Rawwater to bring their important capabilities to Malaysia," says Dr Foong.

The combination of these four reasons makes my onions very valuable. I do not see them as a cheap crop, or a waste of space as I place a high value on using my own home grown produce in family meals.
Onions are part of the Liliaceae family (Alliums).
There are multiple varieties that can be planted across the seasons so be sure to check your seed growing notes to ensure that you are growing the correct variety at the correct time for your location. The skin may be white, brown, red, yellow or purple depending on the variety.
When seedlings are large enough to transplant they should be planted in a free draining soil that has been fertalised. They will tolerate some shade but prefer a sunny (if that is possible in late Autumn/Winter!) open position.
Onion plants dislike being crowded – be sure to plant them a minimum of 10 cm apart in rows that are 30 cm apart.
I have grown onions each year for the last 4 years and to be honest I give them very little care or attention once they are in the grown and have become established.
Water new plants regularly until they become established and then as required, dependent on the weather. Once new seedlings have become established I rarely water any of the garden through Autumn and Winter.
Onions may bolt (go to flower) due to fluctuating weather. At the first sign of flower remove the plants from the ground, unless you wish to keep them in flower and gather the seeds. The bulbs get a hard thick core in the middle when the plant bolts which means that part of the bulb is not edible, they also fail to reach maximum size.
The roots of the onion plant sit shallow below the earth. Be careful if you are weeding around them or you may pull up an immature bulb.
Rotate the planting position of onions each year. My e-book Grow Your Own can help with planting notes and basic rotation tips if you require assistance with this.
Onions can be harvested once the stems start to fall over and turn yellow. You will often see the bulb pushing up out of the soil at this point so that you can clearly see it is ready to harvest. Ideally this should occur prior to flowering.
Do not pull the plant out of the ground or you may break off the bulb from the stalk. Use a pitch fork to gently wiggle the earth around it until it is free to be removed.
Once the plants are harvested, lay them out in the sun, or a well ventilated light position if the weather does not allow them to be outdoors. When the skin has dried and feels papery the onions are ready for storage in a cool dark place. They may be plaited like garlic or simply put into string bags and hung in a position that has good ventilation. Variety will determine ideal storage duration.
For each of the vegetables that I plant in my backyard vegetable garden I have a set of recipes that I MUST make after each harvest every year and the rest is to try in new recipes and generally to just enjoy.
Onions are widely known for their antiseptic properties. I have never tested this particular way to utilize those properties but it is the most interesting that I have come across! Tell me what you think, or if you have tried this. I have heard that when there is a cold/flu in the house that leaving a cut onion out will draw all of the germs to it and thus avoid the spread of the virus….I am not sure about that but I do enjoy using them in cooking. In combination with garlic they create a wonderful flavor base for a variety of meals including curries, casseroles and other slow cooked meals. My all time favorite way to enjoy them is straight from the BBQ, a little bit blackened. How about you???
Are you growing onions this season? Do you have a favorite recipe to use your harvest?
i admit i have never thought about growing onons – i guess because they are so cheap to buy. but my dad does, because he loves growign everything. one year i plaited his hrvest together for him!

Jenkinson: This is why I joined Birmingham
Nia Griffiths
Carl Jenkinson has explained the thought process behind his loan move to Birmingham City.
Jenks has signed for Birmingham City on loan this season despite being heavily linked with a permanent move away from Arsenal.
Speaking after the switch was completed, the 25-year-old admitted that last season it was tough not playing, especially considering he was fit.
"It was frustrating come the end of the window that things didn't work out how I'd wanted them to and then obviously I spent the back end of last season where I didn't play," he said, reports the Birmingham Mail.
"That was my first experience when I've been fit for a very long time where I've not played. But that's what it is and it's a part of my career, as frustrating as it was.
"Everyone just agreed that I needed to play this year. I was told that I'd be able to go out on loan or whatever and I pushed for that as well because you don't want to be somewhere where you're not going to be playing."
Jenks made just five appearances for Arsenal's first team last season after returning from a long-term knee injury he suffered with on loan at West Ham.

The right-back made a return but didn't appear comfortable, which Arsene Wenger later revealed was apparently down to a lack of confidence.
Jenks never fully returned and instead went on to feature seven times for the Gunners' youth side in Premier League 2. He even scored once and assisted twice.
The English defender did only have a year left on his current deal with Arsenal, which is why it was reported that he was leaving. However, this now appears to have been extended to 2020 as the club found it hard to negotiate a permanent move away.
This was allegedly down to the 25-year-old's wage demands, which are said to be around £45k-per-week. However, we don't know that this genuinely was the case.
21-year-old full-back Cohen Bramall has also joined Birmingham City on a season-long loan.

As sports fans and athletes alike know, shoulder injuries are serious business. They can be extremely painful, limiting, and slow to heal. As physical therapist and founder of WebPT Heidi Jannenga explains, the rotator cuff is a common shoulder injury site, though there are plenty of exercises to help you recover.
The most common rotator cuff injuries are impingements and tears. An impingement occurs when a rotator cuff muscle swells and cramps the space between the arm and shoulder bones, causing pinching. Muscle strain or other overuse injuries, as well as bone spurs, are common causes of swelling.
Repetitive, overhead motions can wear down the rotator cuff muscles and are thus a common cause of injury. This is why athletes such as baseball pitchers frequently have shoulder issues. A traumatic injury, such as falling onto your arm, can also cause injury. Regardless of how it happens, the risk of a rotator cuff tear increases as we age and the wear on our bodies accumulates.
Jannenga suggests using the "RICE" method immediately following an injury: rest, ice, compression, and elevation work together to reduce pain and swelling. Once swelling has gone down and moving your arm is no longer painful, exercises such as the following can help you heal and prevent issues such as "frozen shoulder" or range of motion loss.
Jannenga recommends using a light dumbbell or resistance band for many repetitions. If you do not have a light dumbbell, try using a can of soup.
Keep a straight back as you lean and shift your weight onto your toes. You should feel a stretch in the front of your shoulder. Do not overstretch.
Lie down on the side opposite your injured arm.
Bend the elbow of your injured arm to 90 degrees and rest the elbow on your side. Your forearm should rest across your abdomen.
Hold a light dumbbell and, keeping your elbow against your side, slowly raise the dumbbell toward the ceiling. Stop rotating your arm if you feel strain.
Hold the dumbbell up for a few seconds before returning to the start position with your arm down.
Repeat 3 sets of 10 up to 3 times a day. Increase reps to 20 when 10 becomes easy.
Attach a resistance band to something sturdy at or above shoulder height. Be sure it is securely held so it doesn't come lose when you pull on it.
Get down on one knee so the knee opposite your injured arm is raised. Your body and lowered knee should be aligned. Rest your other hand on your raised knee.
Holding the band securely with your arm outstretched, pull your elbow toward your body. Keep your back straight and squeeze your shoulder blades together and down as you pull. Your body should not move or twist with your arm.
With a light weight in each hand, extend your arms and raise them away from your body (do not lock your elbow). Squeeze your shoulder blades together as you do so. Do not raise your arms above shoulder height.
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Place one end of a resistance band under the foot opposite your injured arm. Hold the other end with the injured arm, so the band goes diagonally across your body.
Keeping your other hand on your hip, bend slightly at the waist (do not lock your knees) so the hand holding the band is parallel to the opposite knee.
As if starting a lawn mower in slow motion, straighten upright while pulling your elbow across the body to your outside ribs. Keep your shoulders relaxed and squeeze your shoulder blades together as you stand.
These are symptoms of a more severe injury.

Many would say Riesling is the best wine grape in the world. It is certainly one of the Great Whites.
The Mosel is Riesling country at its best, exquisite wines that are full of fruit.
Vineyards cling to the banks of the river. The steepest valley slopes make the best wine, and mankind has found the best spots over the centuries. The region has many unique sites and styles. In general, however, the wines are characterised by a minerality and citrus acidity derived from the slate soils. The fruitiness is more exotic and, with age, come the mineral notes often tagged as "petrol" (to me, it always smells more like beeswax).
Our reference for the Mosel is Patrick Philipps in Graach. Taste his Auslese and know this is what Riesling should be. In Erden we have found perfectionist mineralist Schmitges. Both Philipps and Schmitges make a full range of fabulous wines but, as a rule of thumb, one has a perfectly balanced edge on the sweet wines and the other's perfectionism shines in the dry wines. Further upriver the Kollmann-Becker family offers a great introduction to German wines.
Riesling is fussy about where it is planted but it thrives on many outstanding sites in Austria. Fine Rieslings are typically dry and substantial, yet have a raciness and delicacy that is second to none. The minerality in these wines is also very distinctive. A peachier, floral side of Riesling often comes out.
We have many fine Rieslings from Austria. Wachau's Leo Alzinger is legendary world wide. The Waldschütz Rieslings are possibly the best wine for your money in our entire catalogue. Diem's Rosenhügel is a masterpiece of subtlety. Arndorfer gives it a touch of oak. Buchegger makes warm filling Rieslings - and there are a few more to explore.
Riesling wines can be highly aromatic with apple, peach and pear at the forefront, mixed with delicate floral undertones and often honey and spice on the nose. On the palate, Rieslings echo the apple, pear and peach along with citrus and tropical nuances. Rieslings tend to pick up a noticeable "minerality" from their native soils.
Riesling, through DNA data, appears to be a cross between Gouais Blanc and an unknown relative of Savagnin. Riesling seems to have originated on the north bank of the Rhine in Germany where we find its first mention in a document dated 1435.
Up to the early 20th century Riesling and Sylvaner were often confused with each other. If you buy an ancient bottle you can't be sure which it might be. After the 60s, you're OK.

Testability != Good Design
It's a funny thing, code testability. It's not really defined, or rather, it is defined poorly.
If "testable code" is "code we can test", that means all code is like that. We can test it through unit tests. If it's hard we can move to functional tests. And if all fails, we can do manual testing. Even performance testing exercises the code. If there's code that tests cannot exercise, why did we write it in the first place?
When we talk about code testability, we really mean "hard to test". That is a whole discussion by itself, because "hard to test" is also subjective. If we follow the theme of unit testing, for example, as an investment to minimize future maintenance costs, then "hard to test" translates to "Costly to test" or "risky to test".
So here's another fun fact: When we have a well-factored code, it requires minimal changes, if any, for it to be tested. There's no surprise that focusing on SRP makes code testable.
Because well-designed code is testable, we tend to correlate the two. Hard-to-test, legacy code is usually not factored well, and the two properties seem to go together. Moreover, we may infer that testable code leads to good design. It can in many cases, but not always.
Here's an example. We have a Customer class with a static method that gets the balance of an Account from a Bank:
public bool isOverdrawn(String name, int limit) {
return (Bank.getAccount(name).getBalance() > limit);
This is a very straightforward, readable method. Its use of a static method (getAccount) makes it "untestable" in Java and other languages. Again, by "untestable" we really mean "hard to test", which translates to "hard to mock". In our case, using regular methods, it will be hard to mock the static method and control the input.
If we rule out use of PowerMockito, we need to modify our code to make it "testable". We can refactor it to pass the Account as a parameter. Once the Account is passed as an argument (really as an interface), we can mock the IAccount interface and pass it in. We now have testable code.
bool isOverdrawn(int limit, IAccount account) {
return (account.getBalance() > limit);
But has the design improved?
The method is as readable as before. We exposed the type of account, although I'm not sure we even needed to know about it. We no longer have the name parameter, but instead, we needed the caller to extract the account before the method call, while originally it did not need to bother with the Bank at all.
The design has changed, but maybe not for the better. It definitely complicated the calling code.
Now let's try another design change for the sake of testability. This time instead of extracting a parameter, we'll inject it with a dependency injection container (I'll use Geuce). For that we need to modify the Customer class, and add:
private IAccount account;
public void setAccount(IAccount account) {
this.account = account;
bool isOverdrawn(int limit) {
Has the design improved now?
For the Customer class, we've added an unnecessary public setter, and a field we didn't need before. If the calling code just used the setter, we'll be in a similar condition to the last example, but using a DI framework makes the calling code, including wiring and configuration again, more complicated. (By the way, in .net it looks a bit better, but not by much.)
You may argue that sacrificing the simplicity of the calling code in order to make the design of the tested object is ok. But if we're going to write unit tests for the calling code, you'll need to use the same tricks, and if you're not, well, you just made it more complex and susceptible to bugs. We should unit test it.
Testable code is not inherently designed better
Sometimes the changes are risky and costly. We need to balance the need for unit testing with the risk, and how the tools we use impact the design.
And let's remember: this code was not "untestable". We decided to set a constraint to not use PowerMockito, and tried to work around it. We could easily have tested that code as-is.
For years I've heard that tools like PowerMockito and Typemock Isolator encourage bad design, because they allow to unit test badly designed code. It sounds bad, but it maybe a better solution than making risky changes so you can just unit test. Sometimes the changes are not even risky, but will create a more complex code, where it should be simple.
Testing and design are broad skills every developer should have.
As long as you're making a knowledgeable decision, not based on popular slogans, you'll be fine.

Legacy Code To Testable Code: Introduction
5 thoughts on "Testability != Good Design"
Gil Zilberfeld
Ah, you introduce domain knowledge into the story. Well played.
Note, it is not evident, but assumed 🙂 I agree that well designed code explains the domain. I have failed in this example, because of my assumptions…
It is evident, that the isOverDrawn is not the property of the Customer, but the Account.
What if the Customer has several accounts???
So the more testable code pointed out some discrepancy in your design, at least…
It also breaks the Law of Demeter. It's not a SOLID code, and it still deserves to be tested.
I'll try to make my examples clearer in the future. My intention was to explain the costs of changing the code to testability for the overall design.
Good design is in the eye of the beholder. SOLID is thought to be a good bar by many. But not always and not by everyone. Singletons may be evil to some, but are a good solution to others.
I think I'll write on this in a separate post.
Thanks for the feedback,
The "evidency" comes from the line "getAccount().getBalance()>limit", which seems to break the simple responsibility principle, so it is not a domain knowledge.
Define good design first.
If you define it as SOLID, then easily testable code is well designed.
If you define it as code which costs the least for initial development and subsequent maintenance, then easily testable code is well designed.
Code being easily testable may not be the only characteristic of good design, but it's an extremely important one.

STUDENT SPOTLIGHT: Kelly Newberry, Opera Singer at UC Santa Barbara
Peruvian-American mezzo-soprano Kelly Newberry was 14 years old when she found her vocal gift. She walked into high school in Simi Valley and signed up for choir since she needed an elective and all her friends were doing it. The teacher gave her a solo and that marked the beginning of her music career.
Newberry remembers when an opera singer from Austria came into her high school class offering voice lessons and sang Habanera from Carmen. Still not very much convinced that it was what she wanted to do, Newberry signed up and during her first lesson the instructor stared at her and told her she had an amazing voice for opera.
"I fell in love with it because of how emotional and raw opera can be and it's so unabashedly emotional," she recalls.


The new home of the Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design at the University of Toronto is a hub for education, research, and outreach focused on the making of more environmental, beautiful, and socially sustainable cities. The Daniels Building unites restoration, renovation, and reinvention. The project's primary objectives were twofold: (1) rehabilitate the landscape, architecture and urban significance of Toronto's Spadina Crescent, through efficient reuse of existing elements and complementary addition of new forms; and (2) demonstrate the Daniels Faculty's objective of overt sustainability through the progressive deployment of materials and systems.
The Flex Hall contains 'saddle' spaces on all sides, creating connections between crit rooms, student lounge spaces, studios and the central flex hall. The hall can also be sealed off as a dark screening room for large lectures. The Flex Hall can be divided into three spaces by large panelized walls, creating the possibility for one, two or three lecture halls at a time.

8 Side Hustles That Made 50 Cent Filthy Rich
J. Bachelor
Source: Vera Anderson / Getty
As a rapper, actor and entrepreneur, Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson has mastered the art of monetizing his brand. Since his debut album, Get Rich Or Die Tryin, he made one thing clear: He didn't just want a slice of the pie, he was after the lion's share. While he may not be the radio mainstay he was in his younger years, Jackson has managed to make business moves – entertainment or otherwise – that have kept him in the public eye for the past two decades.
Fif celebrates his 46th birthday today, and to highlight another candle on the cake, let's look back at the financial ventures that helped make him one of the richest Hip-Hop personalities in the game.
8 Side Hustles That Made 50 Cent Filthy Rich was originally published on wzakcleveland.com
1. A Shoe Deal With Reebok
Hip-Hop and fashion are like peas in a pod. So it made perfect sense that the rapper with an eye on building an empire would release his own shoe. The timing was perfect: He was red-hot on the music scene, his G-Unit crew was gaining momentum and Jay-Z was also working with Reebok for his own pair of kicks.
2. G-Unit Clothing
Source:Getty
Say what you want, but there was a time where the kids loved those oversized t-shirts, jeans and thick tank tops. You can still find some G-Unit pieces if you search hard enough, but their run in the early 2000s netted Fif a pretty nice payday.
3. His 2005 Video Game: Bulletproof
His life story was told in song, on film… so why not in a video game? Okay, so maybe Bulletproof wasn't exactly an autobiography, but it did feature the likeness of 50 and his crew.
4. A Wise Investment In Vitaminwater
The new wave is clean eating, plenty of water and an extra helping of self care. Fif, already a fitness nut himself, must have saw the trend coming a mile away. Before investing in Vitaminwater he was already using the product and his association with the brand only made its popularity skyrocket.
5. A Series Of Self-Help Books For The Streets
Technically, you don't have to be from the streets to gain insight in business from 50's books, but they are written conversation style and draw from many of his real life experiences to give readers that competitive edge.
6. Branson Cognac
Just because 50 isn't a drinker, doesn't mean he won't help you get your sip on. If you follow him on Instagram, you know he's always promoting something. So if the name Branson Cognac rings a bell, yeah, his brand has been officially embedded into your subconscious.
7. Jumping On The Blogging Game Early
ThisIs50.com was created to keep fans of 50 and the G-Unit up to speed on their latest releases, tour dates and new merch. But as the popularity of blogs grew, Fif expanded the site to cover all things Hip-Hop – adding a team of writers, designers and a full production staff to make it a legit news platform.
8. A Small Screen Takeover
From Power and its many spinoffs, to For Life and an upcoming series about BMF, 50 is just as aggressive as an executive producer as he was on the mic. Many artists struggle to craft the second half of their story after album sales slow down, but Fif has found a nice (and profitable) lane to keep his creative juices flowing.

I was thinking of something on the lines of:

isnotNA <- !is.na(as.matrix(P_adjusted)) # grab positions of what is not an NA
results <- Corr_matrix[isnotNA=="TRUE"] # use those positions to subset correlation matrix

This does not work, and I can kind of see why, but this is not clear to me yet. Can anyone help?

A: Just compare your significance level in the one matrix with and set them to NA in the other, accordingly.
vals[p.adj > .05] <- NA

The "Old White Flour Mill" at Crediton served the needs of the neighbourhood, grinding flour for bread, and continued to do so until the development of sea-power brought in cheap wheat from abroad.
Large mills were then erected in our main ports and gradually the smaller country mills went into decline.
Some survive still as manufacturers of biscuit flour, some became derelict and others were converted into provender mills to serve the agricultural community.
In 1964 Crediton Milling was founded to supply animal feed to local farmers. The business expanded through the 1960/70's until a major fire in 1988 saw the total destruction of the original mill building.
The commitment of loyal staff and customers for over twenty years instigated the positive decision to proceed with rebuilding and equipping a new mill.


Several nonprofit organizations from the Orange County community came together to serve families who need us most: the homeless and shelter-insecured.
Uplift Charity led an event at Mary's Kitchen to serve fresh warm meals to enjoy on location, bagged meals to take away, hygiene kits, warm clothes and shoes.
What made this effort special is that at the same time, more than a dozen other organizations were conducting similar efforts throughout the region to ensure that the homeless segment of our community are looked after.
Uplift's efforts would not be possible without the support and partnership of Mary's Kitchen, Simple Deeds and Minaret Academy Students. The hygiene kits provided by Minaret Academy students were a popular item. Simple Deed's brown paper bags filled with food for take-away was a great touch.
And Mary's Kitchen, the beautiful venue for the event which serves hundreds of individuals every day made the event possible with its dedicated staff and well organized facility. We encourage you to visit the facility and volunteer there to serve those in need.
One of the gentleman we served told us he expected Muslims to all have long beards and be conservative in demeanor. Instead he found the volunteers "very cool to chit-chat with." A few of the volunteers and the gentleman connected over basketball.


A number of genetic disorders are caused when an individual inherits two recessive alleles for a single-gene trait. Recessive genetic disorders include Albinism, Cystic Fibrosis, Galactosemia, Phenylketonuria (PKU), and Tay-Sachs Disease. Other disorders are also due to recessive alleles, but because the gene locus is located on the X chromosome, so that males have only one copy (that is, they are hemizygous), they are more frequent in males than in females. Examples include red-green color blindness and Fragile X syndrome.
Other disorders, such as Huntington disease, occur when an individual inherits only one dominant allele.
How does harm from alleles correlate with their recessiveness? Generally speaking, do harmful alleles tend to be more recessive?
How does benefits from alleles correlate with their dominance? Generally speaking, do "beneficial" alleles tend to be more dominant?
Instead of dividing mutations into two classes, dominant vs. recessive, consider categorizing them into classes based on how the mutation affects the gene--or the gene product. This yields loss-of-function (lf) alleles, that reduce the activity of the gene, or its product, and gain-of-function (gf) alleles that act as if they somehow increase the activity of the gene, or its product.
The logic underlying this classification was described in this classic reference: Muller, H. J. 1932. Further studies on the nature and causes of gene mutations. Proceedings of the 6th International Congress of Genetics, pp. 213–255. Since this was before DNA had been shown to be the genetic material his arguments are based solely on the phenotype of animals carrying various combinations of chromosomes. In particular he relies on genetic duplications and deficiencies (or deletions). In this nomenclature + indicates a chromosome carrying a wild-type (wt) allele of the gene, and m indicates a chromosome carrying a mutant allele of the gene. So if an +/m animal appears Wild-Type then that allele is recessive. Similarly, if an +/m animal has a Mutant phenotype then the allele is dominant.
a hypomorph is a partial reduction in function and retains some residual gene function (e.g., a weak missense mutation, or a temperature-sensitive (ts) mutation. A hypomorph is recessive to a wt allele.
a hypermorph that elevates the level of the wt gene function (e.g., a promoter mutation that removes a negative regulatory site, leading to increased expression). Hypermorphs are dominant.
an antimorph, or so-called dominant-negative (dn) allele that produces a mutant gene product that somehow interferes with the wt gene product (think poison product as one model). Antimorphs are always dominant over wt.
a neomorph, an allele the results in a completely new gene function (e.g., if a glycolytic enzyme acquired sequence-specific DNA-binding activity, perhaps from a gene fusion event(?)). Neomorphic alleles are extremely rare and almost always dominant over wt.
So we have a straightforward mapping of lf alleles to recessive phenotypes, and gf alleles to dominant phenotypes. However there is an important exception to this simple scheme for genes that are dose-sensitive, or haploinsufficient. These are dominant lf alleles. For example, when halving the level of the gene product causes a mutant phenotype: +/null. Some well-known examples from the developmental genetics of model organisms are the Ubx gene, and the Notch gene from D. melanogaster.
Harmful alleles can be both recessive or dominant. They do not tend to be more recessive or more dominant. But, you must look at it from a population genetics point of view. When a allele is dominant, it tends to be a highly selected for trait, an analogy of this would be black eyes are a dominant trait compared to blue eyes or green eyes, which is why you see so many people with black eyes in the world than blue.
So therefore dominant alleles are highly selected than recessive ones and when a dominant trait is harmful, the subject tends to get killed off or the line is destroyed in the process by the natural course of reproduction. What remains are recessive alleles which do not get a chance to attain recessiveness and are therefore carried forward by evolution as passenger, never expressing themselves until they get the chance to attain homozygous recessive state.

Q: Why I get error when I try to generate ActionLink? I have this HtmlHelper:
@foreach (var item in Model)
{

        @Html.ActionLink(modelItem => item.LayoutID, "someAction");

}

On this row,
@Html.ActionLink(modelItem => item.LayoutID, "someAction");

i get this error:
CS1660: Cannot convert lambda expression to type 'string' because it is not a delegate type

Why do I get the above error ?
The LayoutID is of string type.
EDIT
Improved Formatting

A: The first parameter of ActionLink method has to be a string which will appear as the anchor tag text. You are trying to pass a lamda expression.
@foreach(var item in Model)
{

       @Html.ActionLink(item.LayoutID, "someAction")

}

A: you can not use modelitem as parameter in actionlink.actionlink must have string value as parameter
try below code:
   @Html.ActionLink(item.LayoutID, "someAction")

or i will suggest you to direct write down string
 @Html.ActionLink("View Report", "someAction")

AmmPower: Harnessing the power of green ammonia
AmmPower is bringing clean energy to the world through the power of green ammonia, a natural chemical with 1.8 times the energy density of hydrogen.
Ammonia (NH3) is a colourless chemical, yet it is often referenced to as being 'green', 'blue', or 'grey'. When ammonia is created, hydrogen and nitrogen atoms are combined to form the ammonia product, NH3. The colour prefix refers to the energy source used to power the process, defines how the hydrogen was obtained, and represents the impact of any associated emissions.
The traditional grey ammonia synthesis process uses fossil fuels, primarily natural gas, as a feedstock to generate hydrogen through steam reforming – a carbon-intensive process by which the issue of associated upstream carbon emissions remains even if the ammonia reaction itself does not generate emissions. Blue ammonia is a similar process, however the carbon-related emissions are captured and stored or utilised elsewhere. In fact, 98% of ammonia plants around the world use fossil fuels as a feedstock to obtain hydrogen for the ammonia synthesis process, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA).1
Green ammonia, however, uses green hydrogen and green energy to power the synthesis process. For hydrogen to be green, it must be made without using fossil fuels or producing carbon-containing greenhouse gasses. The most common method of obtaining clean hydrogen is through the electrolysis of water (H2O) which, simply put, is to send an electric current through water, thereby 'electrolyzing' it, to separate the hydrogen and oxygen atoms.
Ammonia impact
Ammonia is the second most widely used inorganic chemical in the world. In 2020, 176 million tonnes of ammonia were produced, resulting in approximately 500 million tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.2 Ammonia production accounted for 1.8% of all global CO2 emissions that year, and 80% of these were from isolating the hydrogen required for ammonia synthesis.
Fig. 1: Green hydrogen formation through electrolysis.
The power of green ammonia: How can it be utilised?
The advent of the Haber-Bosch process at the start of the 20th century enabled the quick manufacture of ammonia from hydrogen and nitrogen, providing an artificial way of fixing nitrogen into a form readily available for uptake by plants when injected directly into cropland soils.
Today, about 80% of all ammonia produced is used for agricultural fertilisers3, however a new purpose of ammonia has been discovered with the development of alternative fuel technologies, namely hydrogen.
Hydrogen (H2) is the most abundant element in the Universe, and its combustion results in water as a by-product. It can be utilised in sectors of the economy that have been historically hard to decarbonise, such as steelmaking and marine transport. It may also serve as a long-term storage medium in the power industry. Governments and industries around the world are increasingly focusing their efforts on building out the infrastructure necessary to support a hydrogen economy.
Among the major barriers to the widespread utilisation of hydrogen are the ability to move and store it prior to its end-use applications. Hydrogen can be shipped in tankers as a liquid, which can increase tanker load fivefold. However, liquid hydrogen requires temperatures under -253°C, and this process involves high capital costs and uses about 35% of the total energy content.
Ammonia can instead be a method of safely transporting hydrogen, requiring only slight pressure at ambient temperature to liquify.
Not only is ammonia an agricultural fertiliser and an optimal carrier of hydrogen capable of rivaling oil in this purpose, but it can also be used as an alternative, carbon-free fuel itself. It has 1.8 times the energy density of hydrogen and, when combusted, emits primarily water as a by-product.4
Ammonia may be the solution to the International Maritime Organization (IMO)'s pledge to reduce carbon emissions by 50% before 2050.

Ammonia maritime market
AmmPower Corp., a clean energy company focused on the production of green ammonia, is active in all facets of the ammonia market, including the production of green fertilisers, carbon-free shipping fuel, and the 'cracking', or moving of green hydrogen as ammonia.
The company is working on the development of proprietary technologies to produce green ammonia and green hydrogen at scale, including the investigation of unique catalytic reactions to bring down costs and to take advantage of carbon credits in the renewable energy space.
AmmPower will develop port facilities at strategic locations favouring the development of renewable energy projects at scale.
The company currently holds a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Porto Central in Brazil, with the objective of installing a world-leading green ammonia facility in the port. This facility will produce roughly 4,000 tonnes of green ammonia per day, servicing the shipping industry for fuel, providing green fertiliser to the Brazilian marketplace, and allowing export of green ammonia as an energy source. With up to 25 metres draft, the port will be able to welcome the largest and most modern ships in the world and, when operational, Porto Central will be one of the most innovative ports in the world and a major green energy hub.
AmmPower has also signed a letter of intent to develop another 4,000 tonnes per day green ammonia facility at the Port of Southern Louisiana (PoSL). PoSL is the largest tonnage port in the Western hemisphere and the second largest port of energy transfer in the United States. This facility will be one of the first of its kind, to help transition one of the world's largest ports to a green energy source.
AmmPower will be an early maritime leader in the green shipping industry and a key leader in the movement of green hydrogen as an energy source.

Ammonia fertiliser market
AmmPower is currently developing a modular, scaleable green ammonia production unit, named IAMMTM (Independent Ammonia Making Machine). As the acronym suggests, the IAMM is an independent system that will be capable of generating four tonnes of ammonia per day.
The IAMM system creates green ammonia for use as fertiliser in the agricultural industry from renewable energy and the electrolysis of water. This means there are no fossil fuels used to generate the hydrogen needed for ammonia synthesis and there are no carbon emissions produced.
One of the most important ways for energy independence is for countries to build their own renewable energy infrastructure. The AmmPower IAMM unit is designed to produce green hydrogen through electrolysis, isolate nitrogen from the air, and convert them into ammonia using renewable electricity, rendering it independent from both natural gas and oil prices.
Through developing, building and marketing smaller ammonia production units that are financially feasible for the customer, AmmPower will disrupt the anhydrous ammonia fertiliser market.
This strategy will allow the economical production of anhydrous ammonia without having to rely on availability and transportation issues encountered in the ammonia supply chain today.
The IAMM will allow farmers and fertiliser-makers to take control of their own ammonia supply for the first time.
