Q: How do you use ExportFactory I am new to MEF and experimenting with ExportFactory.  Can I use ExportFactory to create a list based on user insertion of objects?  A sample would be something similar to what is shown below.  I am probably not understanding the use of ExportFactory because during runtime I get an error shown below during composition.

1) No valid exports were found that match the constraint
  '((exportDefinition.ContractName ==
  "System.ComponentModel.Composition.ExportFactory(CommonLibrary.IFoo)")
  AndAlso (exportDefinition.Metadata.ContainsKey("ExportTypeIdentity")
  AndAlso
  "System.ComponentModel.Composition.ExportFactory(CommonLibrary.IFoo)".Equals(exportDefinition.Metadata.get_Item("ExportTypeIdentity"))))',
  invalid exports may have been rejected.

 class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        Test mytest = new Test();
    }
}

public class Test : IPartImportsSatisfiedNotification
{
    [Import]
    private ExportFactory<IFoo> FooFactory { get; set; }

    public Test()
    {
        CompositionInitializer.SatisfyImports(this);
        CreateComponent("Amp");
        CreateComponent("Passive");
    }

    public void OnImportsSatisfied()
    {
        int i = 0;
    }

    public void CreateComponent(string name)
    {
        var componentExport = FooFactory.CreateExport();
        var comp = componentExport.Value;
    }
}

public interface IFoo
{
    double Name { get; set; }
}

[ExportMetadata("CompType", "Foo1")]
[Export(typeof(IFoo))]
[PartCreationPolicy(System.ComponentModel.Composition.CreationPolicy.NonShared)]
public class Foo1 : IFoo
{
    public double Name { get; set; }
    public Foo1()
    {

    }
}

[ExportMetadata("CompType", "Foo2")]
[Export(typeof(IFoo))]
[PartCreationPolicy(System.ComponentModel.Composition.CreationPolicy.NonShared)]
public class Foo2 : IFoo
{
    public double Name { get; set; }
    public Foo2()
    {
    }
}

A: The problem appears to be that you expect to import a single ExportFactory<IFoo>, but you have exported two different IFoo implementations. In your example, MEF wouldn't be able to decide between both implementations.
You probably want to import multiple factories including metadata like this:
[ImportMany]
private IEnumerable<ExportFactory<IFoo,IFooMeta>> FooFactories
{
    get;
    set;
}

where IFooMeta would be declared like this:
public interface IFooMeta
{
    string CompType { get; }
}

and then you could implement CreateComponent like this:
public IFoo CreateComponent(string name, string compType)
{
    var matchingFactory = FooFactories.FirstOrDefault(
        x => x.Metadata.CompType == compType);
    if (matchingFactory == null)
    {
        throw new ArgumentException(
            string.Format("'{0}' is not a known compType", compType),
            "compType");
    }
    else
    {
        IFoo foo = matchingFactory.CreateExport().Value;
        foo.Name = name;
        return foo;
    }
}

Home Oil Wall Street analysts say Chevron merger talks a sideshow before Exxon loss
Wall Street analysts say Chevron merger talks a sideshow before Exxon loss
News wire — Wall Street analysts on Monday gave little credence to the possibility of an Exxon-Chevron mega merger, as news of talks last year between the two largest U.S. oil companies leaked ahead of Exxon's results that are expected to show the company posting its first-ever annual loss.
Shares in both the companies were down in early trading in New York, despite a rising overall market and weekend gains in global crude prices.
"At the depths of the market last year… a cost cutting focused merger of the two companies may have made sense and also scale matters in this industry so it would have created by far the largest integrated oil company," said Anish Kapadia, director of energy at London-based Palissy Advisors.
However, anti-trust concerns and the new U.S. administration's stance on big mergers make it unlikely that a deal resurfaces, Kapadia said, adding that buying smaller, hard-hit oil companies gives Exxon and Chevron more value.
As oil producers in Europe adapt to investors' push for a shift into renewables, it is also possible that Chevron or Exxon could buy the oil producing business of a European major in the coming years, Kapadia said.
Exxon's year-end results scheduled for Tuesday are expected to be marred by a charge of up to $20 billion on the value of its natural gas properties.
2020 year like no other – Chevron CEO
The collapse in oil prices last April briefly pushed crude into negative territory and created a survival crisis for large parts of the U.S. industry.
"Given the precipitous drop (last year)… it is not surprising that XOM and CVX had a discussion about merging," said Mark Stoeckle, CEO of Baltimore-based Adams Funds.
"The sharp snapback in prices likely cooled both companies. There would no doubt be significant cost synergies to be had, but the antitrust issues in a Biden administration would probably be too much to overcome."

Biosorption of arsenic by anaerobic biomass
Chowdhury, Md. Rashadul Islam (2007) Biosorption of arsenic by anaerobic biomass. Masters thesis, Concordia University.
Arsenic is known around the globe in recent history due to the consequence of mass poisoning through the exposure of drinking water. Due its carcinogenic and many other adverse health effects, the regulatory authorities like the world health organization (WHO), United States environmental protection agency (USEPA) have reduced the maximum contamination level (MCL) of total arsenic in drinking water from 50 og/L to 10 og/L. Biosorption, a process of passive sequestration of contaminant materials by some dead and inactive biomass, has been preferred in this study to remove arsenic from contaminated water due to its eco-friendly nature and cost-effectiveness in comparison to the conventional technologies. An anaerobic digestion sludge obtained from a wastewater treatment plant was introduced to remove inorganic arsenic from contaminated water. The biomass was prepared in a granular form by drying, grinding and sieving. This granular biomass was investigated in equilibrium batch experiments and used in a continuous flow fixed-bed column operation. The biomass was also treated with KH 2 PO 4 and KCl to improve the sorption capacity but treatment did not contribute to the improvement as anticipated. Removal of arsenate [As (V)] was found pH dependent with the maximum removal at a pH range of 5 to 6, whereas arsenite [As (III)] was almost insensitive to pH over a range of 3 to 10. Initial arsenic concentration and contact time, in addition to pH, affected the biosorption capacity. The biosorption capacity of arsenate [As (V)] was 152 og/g at a pH of 5 and that of arsenite [(As (III)] was 60 og/g at a pH of 8 at an initial arsenic concentration of 2000 og/L for both cases. Adsorption data fitted with Langmuir isotherm model. Kinetic data followed pseudo-second-order model. A 40-minute contact time was sufficient to complete almost 95% of the total biosorption. In column operation, at a pH value of 5, 90 and 220 bed volumes of contaminated water with the respective arsenate concentration of 500 og/L and 200 og/L were treated by bringing the concentrations down to the regulatory limit of 10 og/L. Desorption of almost 40% arsenate was achieved using 0.5M NaCl solution. Protein/amino acid-arsenic interaction was proposed as the dominant mechanism in the biosorption process

Dark Red races off a 10 lb higher rating than when passing the post first in this last year. However, he is capable of winning off this sort of mark as demonstrated by his cracking efforts in the Balmoral last backend, and his most recent runner-up finish at Newcastle.
Silver Line caught the eye when finishing in pleasing style at Sandown last time. That was his first run since being campaigned at the Meydan meeting and there is still plenty to find out about this one time useful juvenile who looks set for a good second half to the season in valuable handicaps.
Although plenty from the yard have been running some way below expectations recently, this one is far too big to ignore here and his best pieces of form make him a match for any of his opponents in this. True, it is worrying that he's been below his best on three of his four starts this year and there is the concern that he may be falling out of love with the game, but maybe it will all click back into place trying this sort of trip and he is a fascinating contender.


Austin Healey 100 BN1 - 4 speed, Le Mans conversion first registered 1954/5. An original UK car with matching numbers.
The Le Mans conversion was part of a recent, complete refurbishment undertaken over a period of 3 years.
Engine and gearbox stripped (out of the car) and the gearbox replaced (completely rebuilt and reconditioned with rebuilt overdrive). The engine was converted to Le Mans spec which included higher compression pistons, piper fast road cam and 1 in and 3/4 twin SU carburettors with cold box.
At this stage it was also decided to fit an upgraded, high performance starter motor and electronic ignition distributor. This not only improves the performance but also reliability.
The running gear was checked and upgraded where it matters and completely overhauled.
Upgrades included Front disc brake conversion, high performance anti roll bar, all steering bushes and bearings replaced and heavy duty shock absorbers fitted. A new exhaust system was also fitted. All wheels were then checked & tuned for straightness as well as spokes replaced where necessary. The wheels were then powder coated and fitted with the correct Michelin tyres, those that were fitted as the works cars left the factory, all four splines were replaced at the same time.
The body was striped and prepared for re-painting. The bumpers were removed and a new alloy louvered bonnet was constructed, painted and fitted with the leather bonnet strap. Twin Lucas lamps of the period were rebuilt and fitted. The hood frame, hood and tonueu cover have all been replaced. The original bumpers were re-chromed and the brackets were powder coated and come with the car as does the original steering wheel, and brake drums.

Byzantine historian of the fifth and sixth century; dates of birth and death unknown. Nothing further is known of the circumstances of the life of this writer, to whom we owe a history of the era of the Roman empire up to 410, than that he was a lawyer connected with the treasury at Constantinople and was an upholder of Paganism. The era in which he lived is also uncertain. Formerly he was assigned to the first half of the fifth century, but now it is generally assumed that he was a contemporary of the Emperor Anastasius I (491-518). There are two chief reasons for this opinion. The later chronographer, Eustathius of Epiphania, who made use of the work of Zosimus, carries his history up to 503; consequently it is inferred that Zosimus must have lived at this period. More weight is attached to another argument drawn from the history of Zosimus itself; this work refers (II, xxxviii) to the suppression of the oppressive tax laid by Chrysargyron in the Byzantine Empire, and this tax was abolished in 501. Therefore the historian was still at work on his history shortly after 501. Perhaps he is identical with the Sophist Zosimus of Gaza, or Ascalon, mentioned by Suidas in his lexicon; opposed to this view, however, is the fact that Suidas mentions no historical work written by this Sophist. Zosimus is the author of a history of the Roman emperors ("Historia romana" or "Historia novae") in six books. It begins with Augustus, and sketches briefly the period up to 270 (I, i-xxxvi); from this date the work is more copious and detailed. It closes with the negotiations which preceded the conquest of Rome in 410. It is evident that the author intended to continue the history, and was prevented from carrying out his purpose by some circumstance, perhaps his death. The work is one of the chief authorities for Roman history of the fourth century, and individual statements concerning the preceding period are also of importance. The work does not lack sensible criticism, and shows the philosophical acuteness of the author. He was a heathen and devoted to the worship of the old Roman gods. He describes, in particular, the gradual decay of the Roman Empire, and attributes this to the fact the Romans had ceased to worship the ancient gods (II, vii). He also adhered to heathen superstitions, i.e. as the influence of the stars on man's life and pagan sooth-sayings. The last editions of the history were edited by Immanuel Becker, in "Corpus scriptorum historiae Byzantinae" (Bonn, 1837), and by Ludwig Mendelssohn (Leipzig, 1867).

Opening Night of the London Jazz Festival brought us Nik Bartsch's Rhythm Clan, an expanded version of the Swiss pianist/composer's long-standing Ronin group, adding electric guitar and horn section to the ascetic mix. Dressed down in black, the band exudes a masculine, vaguely menacing air as it gathers under purple stage-lighting – though when Bartsch speaks, he's warm and welcoming, inviting us to come and see the band any Monday in Zurich. Bartsch himself wears black kimono – there's definitely drama at work here, though as the music unfolds the attire seems less for our benefit, more a way of honing in on a place of heightened discipline and awareness. From the first note, it's clear this is a band rigorous in every way. Incredible precision marks entries and time-shifts. The mostly modular compositions bring razor-sharp transformations: new sections arrive already locked into the groove, timepiece drumming wonderfully crisp against chords warmed with the colours of flute and flugelhorn. Bass clarinet features strongly, sometimes snapping like percussion, and there's an extended sound-palette at the keyboard, with prepared piano – Bartsch occasionally striking the instrument with drumsticks for a sound like the crack of Japanese temple blocks – and the judicious use of Rhodes. Soloing isn't a priority – groove, dynamics and collective focus give the music its intensity and sense of purpose. Often the only way to stop the relentless drive is with a sharp cut – dead-stop and blackout come together several times with dramatic effect. Billed as part of the Minimalism Unwrapped series as well as the Jazz Festival, the cumulative power of repetition and rhythmic shift did bring to mind the world of Reich, as well as that of Bartsch's compatriot Le Corbusier and his concept of the house as a 'machine for living in' – maybe this is music as a machine for human experience.

Taiwanese electronics manufacturer AU Optronics (AUO), its U.S. subsidiary, and two company executives have failed to convince the U.S. Court of Appeals in San Francisco that their price fixing convictions should be overturned. In addition to upholding the convictions, the appellate court yesterday affirmed a $500 million fine against AUO, the only defendant to challenge the sentence (U.S. v. Hsiung, July 10, 2014, McKeown, M.).
In March 2012, following an eight-week trial, a jury found AUO, AU Optronics Corporation America (AUOA), and AUO's former president and former executive vice president guilty of conspiring to fix prices of thin-film transistor-liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) panels. The display panels are used in flat panel computer monitors, notebook computers, flat panel televisions, and other devices.
The federal district court in San Francisco refused to disturb the convictions (2012-1 Trade Cases ¶77,924) and later imposed a record-tying $500 million fine on AUO. The company and its U.S. subsidiary also were placed on probation for three years and ordered to implement antitrust compliance programs. The two convicted executives, Hsuan Bin Chen and Hui Hsiung, were sentenced to three-year prison terms and each fined $200,000. All four appealed their convictions, and AUO appealed its sentence.
The defendants took issue with the application of the Sherman Act to what they described as foreign conduct. The appellate court rejected the defendants' efforts to challenge a jury instruction on the issue and held that the defendants waived their argument that an extraterritoriality defense bars their convictions.
An argument that the district court should have applied rule of reason analysis as the standard for judging liability instead of a per se approach also was rejected. The defendants unsuccessfully contended that the rule of reason applied to the challenged conduct because of its foreign character. U.S. Supreme Court precedent compelled application of the per se rule to this "classic horizontal price fixing scheme," the appellate court explained.
Foreign Trade Antitrust Improvements Act. The Foreign Trade Antitrust Improvements Act (FTAIA) did not bar the prosecution because the government sufficiently proved that the defendants engaged in "import trade," which falls outside the scope of the FTAIA, the appellate court ruled. Describing the FTAIA as a "web of words," the court pointed out that the statute boiled down to two principles: (1) the Sherman Act applies to "import trade or import commerce" with foreign nations; and (2) the Sherman Act does not apply to nonimport trade or commerce with foreign nations, unless the "domestic effects" exception is met.
Trial testimony established that the AUO imported over one million price-fixed panels per month into the United States and that the cartel participants earned over $600 million from the importation of TFT-LCDs into the United States. Because the evidence in support of the import trade theory alone was sufficient to convict the defendants of price fixing in violation of the Sherman Act, it was not necessary to consider the sufficiency of the evidence supporting the alternate theory under the FTAIA relating to the domestic effects of the transactions, which the government pursued. It was noted, however, that the indictment sufficiently alleged such conduct.
Further, the defendants' argument that the indictment was flawed for failing to mention the FTAIA by name or statutory citation was rejected. The indictment contained the factual allegations necessary to establish that the FTAIA either did not apply or that its requirements were satisfied.
The appellate court also clarified that the FTAIA was not a subject-matter jurisdiction limitation on the power of the federal courts but a component of the merits of a Sherman Act claim involving nonimport trade or commerce with foreign nations. The determination that the FTAIA provides substantive elements under the Sherman Act follows decisions of the Second, Third, and Seventh Circuits.
Venue. In addition, the appellate court rejected the defendants' argument that venue was not appropriate in the Northern District of California. The government proved that venue was proper by a preponderance of the evidence.
In addition to evidence that the AUO's employees negotiated prices for TFT-LCDs with a customer in Cupertino, California, the government introduced evidence that AUOA representatives negotiated sales of price-fixed TFT-LCDs with another firm in the Northern District and that AUOA maintained offices there from which it conducted price negotiations by e-mail and phone. The appellate court found unavailing the defendants' arguments that the proper standard of proof for venue was beyond a reasonable doubt or that government engaged in prosecutorial misconduct in its rebuttal when arguing that venue was proper.
Fine. The $500 million fine imposed pursuant to the Alternative Fine Statute, 18 U.S.C. § 3571(d) on AUO was upheld. The Alternative Fine Statute permits a fine of up to twice the gross gain derived from the crime, which would be significantly more than the Sherman Act statutory maximum of $100 million.
The jury found $500 million in gross gains from that offense. The unambiguous language of the statute permitted the district court to impose the $500 million fine based on the gross gains to all the co-conspirators. It did not require that the gain derive from the defendant's "own individual conduct," as AUO argued.
The court also rejected AUO's interpretation of the Alternative Fine Statute as requiring joint and several liability and imposing a "one recovery" rule. AUO's position would have required a reduction from the fine amount of the portion already paid by AUO's co-conspirators.
The case is No. 12-10492.

Maroon 5, Travis Scott, and Big Boi may take the field at halftime for the most-watched musical event of the year. However, they won't be the only artists to grace the big screen. This year's Super Bowl Sunday advertisements are jam packed with just about every big celebrity or artist you can imagine. While class is canceled and work is delayed, take a sneak peak at some of the commercials that will be airing during the breaks this upcoming Sunday.
Dorito's adds some Chicago influence to a classic.
Dorito's latest advertisement introduces Chance the Rapper as the sixth member of the Backstreet Boys. The Chicago rapper takes a bite out of a Doritos "Flamin' Hot Nacho" and contemplates how they "made the original hot." By divine dorito inspiration, Chance remixes the original "I Want it That Way" into a hot new hip-hop track while racing around a track and popping some new moves with the boy band. Chance's verse might be hotter than the chips themself, but that won't stop us from snacking.
We've all been prompted to answer at one time or another whether or not Pepsi is okay instead of Coke – Well, it is if we can have a jewel encrusted can or a side of Steve Carell, Lil Jon, and Cardi B with our order too. After watching the ad below, it'll have you like Pepsi like that. Okurrrt?!
In the last year, ASMR has emerged as meditative and relaxing form of entertainment. For those looking to tone down their loud lives, Michelob Ultra hopes to disrupt the noise of Super Bowl Sunday. The stunning visuals of rolling fields are matched by the lulling voice of actress/artist Zoe Kravitz and the full bodied sounds coming from a fresh pour of their organic brew.

WildStar has its innovative elements, but all in all this indicates content with using the familiar EverQuest template and updating it with the best tweaks in recent times and scrapping the worst.
WildStar definitely seems to be an MMORPG done right. Everything from its crafting to its combat is thoroughly in-depth, as well as the world of Nexus promises for being as rich and diverse every other the genre has seen. Raids are brutal as there are many end-game content waiting for players who achieve the level cap, suggesting that Carbine is targeting veterans o f the genre. We'd say those are who will be getting the best from WildStar, but it's intuitive enough for relative newcomers to dabble in.
With MMO giants The Elder Scrolls On the internet and expansion World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor caused by launch this holiday season, chances stacked against original properties like WildStar, but we're convinced that it is quality may help it stick out alongside its competitors. NCSoft and Carbine Studios are on the cusp of letting press discuss Wildstar's content after level 15, so we'll soon manage to give you much more about this subscription MMORPG because the mysterious 'done when it's done' release window edges ever closer.
Carbine could have switched out specific number requirements for quests for progress bars, though the "kill and fetch" quest was not dead on the besieged Exile mothership I battled through. The combat places a heavy focus on movement and area-of-effect abilities, yet the animations recalled the tab-targeting of earlier years in spirit in any other case in practice. Forty-man raids with rep grinds? That only marks the tip from the familiar elements yours for the taking here.
Objectives within this adventure weren't a massive leap away from what Wildstar players would experience in outside world, even so the story beats were additional consistent and involved substantially less running around. Tellingly our mounts were disabled throughout the entirety with the adventure playthrough, and frankly we didn't miss them.

Mori Seiki's driven-at-the-center-of-gravity technology improves accuracy and lengthens machine-tool life.
Driven at the Center of Gravity (DCG). The phrase conjures up various images -- one being an apple falling dead center on Sir Isaac Newton's head. The other image is that of Mori Seiki Co. Ltd., a Japanese CNC machine-tool manufacturer with U.S. headquarters in Dallas. To Mori Seiki, DCG technology means a better machine tool that reduces vibration in the primary machine components by minimizing the distance between the center of gravity of the moving components and the driving force of that component. Its newest vertical machining center, NV4000 DCG, introduces the DCG technology. "DCG came about when looking at how the basic components of an axis are arranged," says David Austin, manager of technical communications at Mori Seiki U.S.A. Inc. "Simply driving an axis by placing the ballscrew in between the linear guides is not always the best way to do it. The best way to do it is to align where you are driving the axis with where the thrust of the axis should be. By aligning that, we eliminate the torque in the axis." Reducing torque not only makes the machine more rigid because the deflection has been reduced, DCG reduces the amount of vibration because components are loaded symmetrically. In fact, when comparing residual vibration between a non-DCG machine tool and a DCG machine tool, there are significant improvements on the X, Y and Z axes (18.07 _m to 0.13; 7.20 to 1.38; 11.22 to 0.59 respectively.) "We always knew that decreasing vibration and decreasing [torque] would increase tool life and increase accuracy, but really what has driven this innovation is the state of the art of the machines," says Austin. "Machine tools today are very accurate, very good at delivering tool life. We needed to take the technology to the next level of tool life vibration and accuracy." On the NV4000 DCG, dual ballscrews drive the Z-axis with the spindle mounted between the ballscrews. The Y-axis also has dual ballscrews, which are mounted outside the center of gravity. The X-axis has a single ballscrew positioned to act through the center of gravity of the machine table. While dual-ballscrew technology has been around for a long time, the focus was never the reduction of vibration -- it was increasing acceleration and deceleration, according to Austin. "We're able to offer most of the benefit in terms of speed, but the biggest benefit we offer is to reduce vibration, which means better tool life and better accuracy," explains Austin. "The simulated center of gravity that results from placing the spindle between twin ballscrews has led to a lot more rigidity than we had in the past," says Jerry Busche, vice president of Busche Enterprises, an Albion, Ind.-based contract CNC machine house that recently purchased a Mori Seiki NV4000. "Compared to other machines, our productivity is higher, our tooling lasts longer and our cost per part has decreased." To aid in production of its DCG machine tools, Mori Seiki was able to pool from 450 engineers from around the globe. Additionally, its West Sacramento, Calif.-based Digital Technology Laboratory (DTL), a wholly owned subsidiary of Mori Seiki Co. Ltd., provided the software and computer resources required to perform extensive computer analysis on the DCG machines. "[DTL] looks at modeling every performance aspect of the machine before prototypes are created," says Austin. "They not only look at the basic strengths of the machines, but more importantly how the machine responds to heat from the spindle . . . [and] the linear guide? The extent that the engineers at this division analyze this machine is just incredible -- I'm amazed by it every time I go there and visit."

They're Irish, they're ladies, their EP is out now. And we like them. A lot.
Catchy, crunchy and full off alt-pop melodies, Pillow Queens are standing on the shoulders of classic indie rock giants while dragging their instrumentation through the grunge-coloured mud. There are as many hints of Pixies influences as there are of Carpenters' backing harmonies. Their EP is varied, mature and has, in just a handful of songs, cemented fans in the Raw Meat team.
Answers are from guitarist/ vocalist/ bassist Pam (so not the drummer then).
PAM: The artist community in Dublin is quite close knit, and actually the country is so small you could probably include the whole of Ireland within that community. There are obvious negatives in having a scene so small but the benefits are the bonds you form with other folks trying to do their best in the music scene here. There are some lovely little record shops in Dublin like Freebird and The R.A.G.E. that are always sure to stock Irish artists. There are some great venues in Dublin with some of the soundest sound people going that we love to play; like Workman's, Bello Bar, and Whelan's of course. There's also a meticulously well curated DIY night that showcases some of the best new Irish bands called Mistakes that's ran out of The Hut. We haven't been able to explore too many venues outside of Dublin but that will all change soon so hit us up in a few months and we'll give you the lowdown on rural Ireland.
Usually when we get questions like this they're quite hard to answer because we all have varying music tastes. It's difficult to pin one band or track down that we all revere. However, after the passing of Dolores O'Riordan we all realised how much the music of the Cranberries meant to each of us. We all grew up listening to their amazing music which was sung in a way that was so out of the ordinary but also so familiar to our ears. It was impossible not to be influenced by it.
Lankum released their album Between the Earth and Sky in October last year which is amazing. The last track 'Willow Garden' is on constant repeat.
We are very fond of Dublin band, girlfriend who are immensely talented. They may or may not have new music coming out this year but regardless their 3am Rituals release is more than enough to tide us over. Everyone should listen to them. Now.
We've released our first single 'Favourite' from our upcoming EP State of the State. We're also about to play our first shows in Cork for the Quarter Block Party, and Limerick for Love Not Eight in aid of the Repeal campaign.
Our State of the State EP is released, so we'll be hitting the road to play our songs to anyone who'll listen. So you might see us popping up around the UK and Ireland soon.
State of The State is out now on Specialist Subject. Buy it here.

'Gordita Chronicles' and the American Dream through new eyes
WAMU 88.5 | By Mia Estrada
Meet the Castelli's. They are a family from the Dominican Republic who move to Miami in pursuit of the "American Dream." Only on their arrival,America is not what they imagined.
"Are you sure this is it?" says Cucu, the 12-year-old star of the showGordita Chronicles. "The song said America the Beautiful. I think they over-sold it."
The LA Times is calling the series is the 'sitcom of the summer.' Set in 1985, it tackles themes tied to opportunity, resilience as well as growing up a "gordita" or "little chubby."
We meet show creator Claudia Forestieri and showrunner Brigitte Muñoz-Liebowitz. Both champion theimportance of a lead character like Cucu and her immigrant family. It is a story, they say, based loosely on their own lives.

The Cooks and Confectioners Dictionary: or, the Accomplish'd Housewives Companion was a cookery book written by John Nott and first published in London in 1723.

Context

Nott had been the chief cook for a string of aristocrats, named on the title page of his book as the Dukes of Somerset, Ormond, and Bolton, and the Lords Lansdown and Ashburnham.

Book

Contents

The book describes how to make savoury dishes including "Bisks, Farces, forc'd Meats, Marinades, Olio's, Puptons, Ragoos, Sauces, Soops, Pottages". Pastries include biscuits, cakes, custards, puddings, pies and tarts. Confectionery includes candying and conserving flowers, fruits, and roots, as well as jellies, marmalades and decorative "sugar-works". Drinks include the making of beer, cider, mead, perry and English wines, as well as cordials. The book ends with a list of suggested bills of fare for every month of the year.

The book is prefaced with a four-page Introduction "To All Good Housewives", beginning "Worthy Dames, Were it not for the sake of Custom, which has made it as unfashionable for a Book to come abroad without an Introduction, as for a Man to appear at Church without a Neckcloth, or a Lady without a Hoop-petticoat, I should not have troubled you with this." The introduction ends with "Your humble Servant, The Compiler". There follows "Some Divertisements in Cookery, us'd at Festival-Times, as Twelfth-Day, &c."

The main text is laid out as a dictionary from Al to Zest. It included items now unfamiliar, such as Battalia Pye of Fish, a "very large Pye, and cut with Battlements ... with as many Towers as will contain your several sorts of Fish", which included salmon, cockles, prawns, oysters, and periwinkles.

This is followed by Bills of Fare, Terms of Art for Carving, Instructions for Carving, The Manner of Setting out a Desert of Fruits and Sweet-meats, and the Alphabetical Index.

Approach

Since the main text is an alphabetical list, there are no sections, and the recipes stand alone without instructions on kitchen equipment or general comments on types of dish.

The entries are named, either like "Asparagus with Butter" as dishes, or like "To make an Amlet of Asparagus" as goals to be attained. The ingredients are not listed. Quantities, if mentioned at all, are simply included in the text, as "an Egg or two", relying on the cook's judgement as to the exact quantity needed. Cooking conditions are similarly mentioned only in passing, as "over a gentle Fire". For example:

To make an Amlet of Asparagus

 Blanch your Asparagus, cut them in short Pieces, fry them in fresh Butter, with a little Parsley and Chibols ; then pur in some Cream, season them well, and let them boil over a gentle Fire: In the mean time make an Amlet with new laid Eggs, Cream, and Salt ; when it is enough, dress it on a Dish ; thicken the Asparagus with the Yolk of an Egg or two, turn the Asparagus on the Amlet, and serve it up hot.

Reception

Nott's recipe for hot chocolate is said to be delicious. The bibliographer William Carew Hazlitt, in his 1902 Old Cookery Books, considered Nott well-read and intelligent as he drew his recipes from many sources at home and abroad, including "to dress mutton the Turkish way".

Nott's "Queen's Pottage" is recreated at The Gilbert Scott restaurant, though The Telegraph notes that the chef, Marcus Wareing, omits the original cockscombs. Nott's Salmagundy is likewise reworked by Heston Blumenthal in his Dinner restaurant.

The Oxford Companion to Sugar and Sweets notes that the "ubiquitous" crème brûlée appeared in the Dictionary, but that Elizabeth David had traced Nott's version to François Massialot's recipe in his 1691 Cuisinier royal et bourgeois, rendered as "Burnt Cream" in the English translation of his book,  The Court and Country Cook of 1702. The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation comments that Nott seems to have plagiarized "heavily" from Robert May as well as Massialot, without explanation.

Each month, he provides a list of magical items to gather for the next activities—things from candles to herbs to oils to a Farmer's Almanac. He always provides the materials list with ample time to gather the necessary items prior to engaging in the activities listed.
Sabbats, esbats, and various other rituals and spell work are all explored, as well as meditation, gods and goddesses, prayers, and recipes. If you've ever wanted to make a fairy offering, perform a sacred rite, study the elements in depth, or consecrate magical tools, it's all in the guide—as well as casting and banishing circles, divination explanations, tarot explorations and more.
"Word to the Wise" tips are also routinely offered, such as warnings about weather conditions, definitions for more difficult terms, and extra items that are not integral to the ritual but could be a beneficial addition if you opt to have them.
Each section ends with a devotional day to honor a specific goddess or god, followed by a day of contemplation, and finally a silence. This three-day ritual helps create an excellent way to review and digest everything you've learned so far, as well as to prepare yourself for more knowledge and activities to come.
Wicca: A Year and a Day is the closest thing I've found to having a real teacher at your disposal. Roderick has answered most, if not all, of the questions I had when I was starting my path, and has provided plenty of instruction and practical application advice in addition to keeping the book personal with its questions for the student to answer. If you are ready for your year and a day, Roderick's book can help you through it.

City of Bakersfield continues providing help to local businesses as Kern adapts to purple tier
Even in the strictest tier, when there's a will, the city of bakersfield says they plan to make a way. 23ABC's Kristin Vartan spoke to the city about programs that may help local businesses out.
By: Kristin Vartan, 23ABC
Well, we're back in the purple tier. That may mean an added burden on businesses trying to keep up with the ever-changing times in which we find ourselves, but the cCty of Bakersfield still has you covered. Even eight months into the pandemic, the city has funding to help your business survive, and even thrive as they're now forced to go outdoors.
"I know people probably felt saddened that we are sliding back in that [purple] tier, but there are some things that we're hopefully doing to mitigate that," The City of Bakersfield's Public Information Officer, Joe Conroy said.
For local establishments that may need that extra help: There's still about two of the $3 million allocated for the B-CARES grant left. Plus, the city has expanded its eligibility requirements this month. Conroy said depending on the size of the business, they can receive $5000 to $20,000 dollars. One-hundred eighty-three applications have been approved so far.
"It doesn't need to be paid back, because it's not a loan. Once you're approved for whatever amount, that's your money. It's the businesses' money as long as they meet the requirements of what they're going to spend it on," Conroy said.
The city has also put $2 million toward the Kern Recovers Non-Profit Assistance Program. but wait, there's more:
Restaurants, retail, and other local establishments, if you're looking to move operations outdoors, the city thinks you may benefit from their Special Events Permit. With it allocated street, sidewalk or parking lot space becomes a part of your place of business. One-hundred and five permits have been approved since May.
"We'll come up with a plan for you, whether it comes to the sidewalk, or your parking lot, wherever it is that you'll be setting up your outdoor activity, so we'll work with you on how that should be set up and done safely," Conroy said.
Churches, gyms and sports associations, the city says you may consider a Special Use Permit through the parks and recreation department. This gives you the ability to use those parks and rec spaces for your respective sessions.
"There are some things that people need to remember: We have maintenance scheduled for parks and stuff, so we don't want people out there when we're trying to mow the lawn, or blow the leaves, or sprinkles are turning on something," Conroy said. "So, we want to make sure things are scheduled around these gatherings or events."
Plus, it won't cost you anything as the permit fees have been waived, thanks to $33.5 million worth of CARES Act funds allocated to the city. You can apply for BCARES funding here.

My partner tonight was my youngest daughter Gracie. We left the marina at five and planned on only fishing an hour. I figured our best shot at a quick fish was Glebe bay, so we headed straight there. Met a couple of guys I know who had just finished fishing the western shore with no action. They said the eastern shore had a lot of leaves. Nevertheless, we headed to the the eastern shore and started plugging. After a half hour or so, we moved around the corner to the "brown House". I had not fished there for over a week and felt certain it would be the ticket. I was wrong. It was beginning to get dark and we were well past the allotted hour as we headed for the western shore for a few more casts. Had a nice slow drift of the entire shoreline. As we passed the "white house" I said to Grace "well I guess we got skunked tonight". Just as the words left my mouth a fish exploded within two feet of the boat. The sound was deafening and scared Grace more than the haunted house she visited last night. It turned out to be a 18, but was a welcome sign as I have been shut out nearly every saturday all season. It is very difficult to fish on weekend due to the boat traffic. Incredible moonrise to boot.

Q: Noob using C# classes and accessing them I'm working with JSON (using json.net) and a C# console application and I am trying to set some values for a JSON POST to a server.
I can set some of the values, but accessing others is giving me fits.
My JSON looks like this:
{
    "params" : [
         {
             "url" : "sys/login/user",
             "data" : [
                 {
                     "passwd" : "pwd",
                     "user" : "user"
                 }
             ]
         }
    ],
    "session" : 1,
    "id" : 1,
    "method" : "exec"
}

I ran that through json2csharp and it generated me the following classes.
public class Datum
{
    public string passwd { get; set; }
    public string user { get; set; }
}

public class Param
{
    public string url { get; set; }
    public List<Datum> data { get; set; }
}

public class RootObject
{
    public List<Param> @params { get; set; }
    public string session { get; set; }
    public int id { get; set; }
    public string method { get; set; }
}

I then created this object for testing in my Main method
RootObject temp = new RootObject()
temp.id = 1;
temp.method = "exec";
temp.session = "1";

and those parameters get set just fine.
I can also set the URL param using the following:
temp.@params.Add(new Param { url = "some/url", });

It is setting the public List<Datum> data { get; set; } item that is the problem.  I cannot figure out how to access that and set the user and password items.
If I add this to the Param class I can set the values, but this seems to be the wrong way/place to me.
public Param()
{
   data = new List<Datum>();
   data.Add(new Datum { user = "user", passwd = "pass" });
}

A: Well, you create your RootObject like this:
RootObject temp = new RootObject()
temp.id = 1;
temp.method = "exec";
temp.session = "1";

Then you create the params list and fill it with one Param:
temp.@params = new List<Param>();
temp.@params.Add(new Param { url = "some/url" });

You can then set the data for one param in the list (in this example the first one):
temp.@params[0].data = new List<Datum>();
temp.@params[0].data.Add(new Datum { user = "user", passwd = "pass" });

This is necessary, because  @params is a list of Param objects. You could also fill the data when creating the Param instance before adding it to the list (easier, because you otherwise need to know the list index).
temp.@params = new List<Param>();

Param p = new Param { url = "some/url" };
p.data = new List<Datum>();
p.data.Add(new Datum() { ... });

temp.@params.Add(p);

Usually you'd change change the default constructors to initialize the lists already and prevent the list instances from being replaced by changing the properties to read-only, but that might not work well with JSON deserialization, so you really need to try this. It would look like this:
public class Param
{
    public Param()
    {
        data = new List<Datum>();
    }

    public string url { get; set; }
    public List<Datum> data { get; private set; }
}

public class RootObject
{
    public RootObject()
    {
        @params = new List<Param>();
    }

    public List<Param> @params { get; private set; }
    public string session { get; set; }
    public int id { get; set; }
    public string method { get; set; }
}


Sen. Amy Klobuchar addresses a question about recent incidents in which passengers were forced to sit on a plane on the tarmac for over five hours waiting to take off. Klobuchar says the situation is more common than you might think and wants an upgrade in air traffic control systems.
The Airline Passenger Bill of Rights is co-sponsored by Klobuchar and calls for adequate food and water onboard planes as well as a three-hour wait limit on the tarmac.

I've been watching the series for three weeks now, and I think it's quite good. People who believe in "creationism" feel differently and have demanded "equal time" to air their dissenting views.
Last week's episode was unflinching in its support for evolution and specifically targeted ideas put forward by "creationists" and showed why those ideas are wrong.
We watch the series as well, and now that it has become the target of creationists, I'm certain Tyson will again soon be one of Bill Maher's guests. He has appeared several times, and it's always a terrific show when he sits on the panel. Cosmos is well done and most informative.
I only caught the first episode, but am recording the rest to catch up.
It is a shame that the fundies draw such a disproportionate share of news coverage, considering that Tyson as well as most religious people feel that religion and science need not contradict each other.
I think the first episode would have been better served if it spent less time on the Giordano Bruno narrative and a little time on Monseigneur Georges Henri Joseph Édouard Lemaître, who was actually responsible for the concepts of Hubble's Law, the Hubble Constant and the Big Bang Theory.
But I am glad that Cosmos is now getting done with a big budget.
Ironic how the fundies demand equal time for creationism in programming but never want to give evolution equal time in their programming.
They've done a great job with the show so far. Great use of special effects without making the effects themselves the stars.
As far as the creationists go, I'm not clamoring for the 700 Club to give evolution any significant time on their show.

Catherine Pearson
Chief Executive, Healthwatch Lambeth
Catherine has been the CEO of Healthwatch Lambeth since the Healthwatch network was launched in 2013. In this time Catherine's particularly proud of work to pilot a number of initiatives to create new opportunities for people with dementia to connect and collaborate. And also felt privileged to host the Black Thrive Partnership and their facilitation team between 2017 and 2021, when the team moved to Black Thrive Global and established themselves as a black-led organisation in Lambeth.
In the 1990's Catherine was employed by London Lighthouse as a fundraiser and then as the Manager of the Research and Policy Department. She supported early research into the use of the internet to build thriving communities of people living with HIV and learned about the value of service user involvement in service design. After leaving Lighthouse in 1997, she worked on a range of projects promoting HIV prevention within the African communities of SE London, including the Lambeth based Safer Partnership.
Catherine has lived in Lambeth for more than 35 years. Her children were born and went to school in Lambeth and she has many links to the borough. She's a Director of Streatham Common Co-op, where she helps with fundraising and community events. In a densely populated borough like Lambeth preserving our green spaces for communities is a real passion. She enjoys talking with local people about the things that matter most to them, and since the start of the covid lockdown in March 2020 has been part of many WhatsApp and other groups helping people who are isolating or unwell. She counts herself fortunate to live in such a vibrant borough and looks forward to being a part of the Lambeth Together Care Partnership.


Originally conceived as part of the activities to mark the tenth anniversary of our firm and opening of our purpose built office; the audience's enthusiastic response convinced us to make our Annual Law Series (ALS) a yearly, multi-disciplinary non-paying event; a platform for the creation of a deeper understanding between the business community, the Bar and leaders of government.
In 2008, with the onset of the global financial crisis, it had the theme Legal and Related Challenges in Funding Infrastructural Projects in Emerging Economies A notable achievement from that year's edition was that it led us on the path to eventual involvement in the draft Securitization Bill currently before the Nigerian National Assembly (legislature) In 2009, it focused on the place of Securitization as an alternative financing technique. The 2010 edition of the ALS was themed "Sustaining the Objectives of Reform" on account of the far reaching reforms introduced by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to reposition troubled Nigerian banks even as parallel reforms were simultaneously being considered for the Nigerian petroleum industry. In 2011, being a general election year in Nigeria, we considered the theme "Managing Investment Policy Reforms in Times of Political Transition" and recourse was had to the experience of India in managing policy fidelity and political transition. In 2012, our theme was: "How Emerging Markets Emerge – An Asian Perspective", in recognition of the place of emerging markets in the global space and the ascendency of Asian economies; adjudged to be among the biggest and fastest growing emerging markets in the world and projected to attain the status of dominant economies by 2020.
Since 2012, we have had a fruitful relationship with the Federation of Indian Chamber of Commerce & Industry (FICCI; India's oldest and largest chamber of commerce) and in June 2013, our firm collaborated with it to convene our Annual Law Series (ALS) in New Delhi. The 2013 conference brought together Indian and Nigerian business men, lawyers and leaders of government to explore the expanding commercial opportunities available to both countries. There were almost 30 Nigerian companies in attendance, benefiting from business to business meetings with numerous Indian counterparts. In the aftermath of the programme in India, efforts are ongoing to explore privately led energy cooperation between both countries.

You don't even have to be a genius TikTok creator to have heard about the buzzy salad that everyone is talking about — and eating! The green goddess salad on TikTok has 1.6 million likes and nearly 300,000 shares, and it even made a morning TV appearance on Today. There's something about this salad, which happens to be vegan, BTW, that makes it impossible to scroll past when it hits your feed.
While a vegan salad recipe in January (see: Veganuary) sounds about as groundbreaking as florals for spring, the green goddess salad recipe does have something unexpected: It was created by pastry chef, Melissa of Baked by Melissa — yes, the mini cupcake brand!
Plus, you get an ASMR-like session when you watch and listen to each crisp veggie chop, the whir of the blender, and finally, the final crunchy bite that makes you want to try it yourself. Add that to the fact that Melissa proceeds to eat the salad with a chip, and you're left wondering what is this magical green stuff — a salad? A dip?
"I made this Green Goddess Salad last summer for my girlfriends, and it knocked us all off our feet," writes Melissa on the Baked By Melissa blog. "It is a vegan pesto dressing with all the green veggies you have on hand. Feel free to improvise anywhere you see fit! Nuts, greens, and oil in the dressing can be subbed out for other varieties you have on hand, and you can do that for the veggies in the salad as well. Go wild!"
What is green goddess salad dressing?
The base of this particular salad contains cabbage, cucumbers, green onions, and chives, but the real flavor punch comes from the vegan take on green goddess salad dressing made from nutritional yeast, herbs, nuts, and olive oil. Traditional green goddess dressing relies heavily on sour cream and heavy cream to make it taste flavorful and rich, but the TikTok version uses nuts and olive oil to lend a creamy texture to the dressing sans dairy.
Is the green goddess salad healthy?
It's easy to see that the green goddess salad is loaded with veggies, herbs, and other plant-based friendly ingredients including nuts — but just how healthy is it? And can you eat it as a meal or is it more of a snack? "I love that it's loaded with fiber-rich veggies and that the dressing contains olive oil and nuts — both of which boast heart-healthy fats," says registered dietitian nutritionist Amy Gorin. "Also, the addition of nutritional yeast is a bonus because it provides protein, as well as B vitamins."
"Nutritional yeast is one of my favorite ingredients," she says. "It has a cheese-like flavor and is packed with 2 to 3 grams of protein, plus minerals like iron. Sometimes, nutritional yeast is fortified with B vitamins, such as vitamin B12. It's a great way for plant-based eaters to add additional protein to meals and snacks."

What can you eat with green goddess salad?
In the green goddess salad TikTok video, you see Melissa eat the salad with a chip, which may make you wonder if the recipe is more salad or more dip? You can make the green goddess salad as a snack, especially since the recipe makes several servings, you can make a batch to keep on hand (and yes, eat it with chips!) or add a few tweaks to make it more of a complete meal.
"If you're looking to make it a meal, I'd pair it with a lean protein such as baked tofu to amp up both the calories and protein of the meal," says Gorin. If you're not vegan or plant-based, you could also add an animal-based protein such as chicken or turkey. If you want to keep it in the fridge as a snack, try pairing it with a whole-grain chip such as corn tortilla chips for added fiber to help keep you fuller longer, says Gorin.
How long does the green goddess salad last?
This particular green goddess TikTok salad recipe should last for about a week in the fridge, according to the recipe. So keep that in mind when determining how many servings and people you want it to feed.
One thing is for sure — the green goddess TikTok salad recipe has range. In addition to eating it alone or with chips or a pita, Melissa also writes on the blog that it's yummy on sandwiches or tacos — the green goddess possibilities are endless.

5 ways women's health care has been improved by Obamacare
Health care reform has been controversial from the start. Opinion polls consistently show that a majority of Americans have major misgivings about the landmark legislation. For example, a recent Gallup poll showed that just 43 percent of Americans approve of Obamacare, while 51 percent disapprove.
Yet, the heated debate has obscured some fundamental changes that have boosted health care options for people, especially women.
These changes have impacted everything from preventive care to birth control and the right to breastfeed at work, says Judy Waxman, vice president for health and reproductive rights for the National Women's Law Center (NWLC).
"We have made a significant step forward," she says.
Following are five overlooked developments that have substantially improved women's health care.
1. Woman can't be charged more for health insurance.
Before health care reform, insurance companies could set different premium rates for men and women. However, Obamacare bans the practice of charging more based on a person's sex.
In the past, women often were charged more because they tend to use medical care more often than men, and they may require expensive services such as maternity care.
A 2012 report by the NWLC found that women paid about $1 billion more in health insurance premium costs annually due to insurers' gender-rating practices.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services highlights the fact that previously, a 22-year-old woman could have been charged a premium 150 percent higher than a 22-year-old man simply because she was a woman.
The new rule restores fairness to health insurance pricing, says Amy Allina, deputy director of the National Women's Health Network in Washington, D.C.
The change is especially important for low-income women, who often have to shop for health coverage on the individual insurance market, which tends to be more expense than group coverage, Waxman says.
"More women are low-wage workers than men, and that often means they don't get health insurance through their job," she says.
While 43 percent of men are covered by health insurance through their own employer, the number dips to 35 percent for women, according to a 2013 analysis of census data by the Kaiser Family Foundation and the Urban Institute.
2. Health plans must cover preventive services without fees.
Health care reform mandates that health insurance plans must cover many preventive care services without charging copays, coinsurance or deductibles. (Grandfathered plans - those in place without major changes since March 23, 2010 - may not have to cover all these services.)
Every woman now is entitled to a yearly well-woman visit without cost. And the free care doesn't stop there.
"The law requires health plans to provide FDA-approved preventive services without cost sharing," says Sara Collins, vice president of health care coverage and access for The Commonwealth Fund, a New York-based organization that promotes better access to health care.
Such cost-free preventive services now include:
Bone scans for osteoporosis.
Cervical cancer screenings.
Mammograms.
Pap smears.
Some limits do apply. For example, free mammograms are limited to every one to two years for women over age 40, and screening for human papillomavirus (HPV) is allowed every three years for women over 30 with normal cytology results.
To find out about other restrictions, visit HealthCare.gov, which has a list of what's covered at no cost for women.
In addition, plans now must cover well-baby visits and other services for children at no cost, which is bound to be a relief to many mothers, Allina says.
3. All policies must cover maternity care.
Waxman says mandatory maternity coverage is one of health reform's biggest victories.
Health insurance plans now must cover maternity care and childbirth services. Before health reform, some health plans didn't offer maternity coverage.
In the past, Allina says many women wrongly assumed all health plans offered maternity coverage. Those women often were shocked to find that they didn't have coverage, or that it was very expensive.
Now, all health plans must provide a "summary of benefits and coverage" that details how a plan covers the cost of having a baby.
Also, because health reform mandates that insurers can't deny coverage due to pre-existing conditions, women have a right to maternity care services even if they became pregnant before joining their current plan.
4. Birth control is free.
All health insurance plans now must cover birth control services for women without charge -- including copayments, coinsurance or deductibles -- so long as the services come from a provider within the health plan's network.
Services that must be covered include:
Barrier methods (diaphragms, sponges).
Hormonal methods (birth control pills, vaginal rings).
Implanted devices (intrauterine devices).
Emergency contraception (Plan B, ella).
Patient education and counseling.
Plans don't have to cover any drugs that induce abortions, or services for men such as vasectomies.
5. Breastfeeding equipment and privacy must be provided.
Health insurance plans now must provide breastfeeding support, counseling and equipment to women throughout the entire time they're breastfeeding.
In addition, all employers must provide break time for an employer to express breast milk for nursing for one year after a child is born. Employers also must provide a private place -- beyond a bathroom -- for women to express breast milk.
