Boston is an incredible city for building companies. Many of the greats in tech and healthcare have build their businesses here, and their leadership is active in the community helping entrepreneurs get their ideas off the ground.
We see these groups of mentors come together around places like MassChallenge, The New England Venture Capital Association, TechStars, creating an easy place for entrepreneurs to go for help. As we welcome more and more food companies into the Food Loft community, we've heard that it's harder for food and foodtech founders to find mentors that understand the specifics of the food industry. We set out to change that.
We're excited to share the launch of The Food Loft Mentor Network, an initiative that connects food business leaders and food startups from across Boston's innovation, media and investment arenas. The goal of the mentor network is to provide startups with access to strategic advisement and targeted assistance tackling specific business needs and problems.
Mentors within the network bring expertise in food packaging and design, marketing, e-commerce and direct-to-consumer sales models, fundraising, startup operations, community outreach, restaurant-tech innovation and more.
We received over a dozen enthusiastic yeses for this initial launch, and are excited to watch it grow. We can't wait to see what these collaborations bring to the food space.
The Food Loft Mentor Network is an open access initiative, meant to engage startups from both within and outside of the Food Loft network. Check out the full list of active mentors here.
If you are a food or foodtech startup interested in access to the Mentor Network, or want to participate as a mentor, please reach out to our Community Manager, Casey for more information: firstname.lastname@example.com.

When you are not really thrilled about the thought about having to work a dead-end job (because it really is better than welfare, trust me) to pay the bills, you really do get excited about going on holidays. Plus, leaving Perth is always guaranteed to get the heart racing
Luckily, I managed to combine this city break with going to uni (because "I had to go") and a couple of days of hanging out in the city that they call the cultural capital of Australia with a good friend.
Of course, there are only a few things that are mandatory when visiting this great city. Apart from shopping which I don't particularly have the patience or the cash for (it is a dead end job thing) but eating, bar and café hopping, art and Australian Rules Football are all required activities.
After a long but totally cool day at university, H and I made our way down to the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) to watch the Sydney Swans play the Hawks. Don't ask me where they were from but they were the ones in brown and the ones that ended up winning. Since I had never watched a game of AFL before (I don't care if that makes me "unAustralian" as that is so cool with me) it was cool to watch a game in person and especially at the "G".
All this was punctuated by visits to the art gallery to see some Viennese Art and Design as well as "King Tut" at the Museum and catching up with mates.
Thanks to all that made the trip so special.

STANWOOD — The gun involved in the March 10 accidental shooting of a police officer's daughter in Stanwood was not the officer's duty weapon, officials said Tuesday.
Jenna Carlile, 7, and her three younger siblings were alone in the family van when one of the children found a loaded handgun and fired it. Jenna was struck and later died from her injuries.
Investigators believe the girl's parents, Marysville police officer Derek Carlile and his wife, had parked the van near a friend's art gallery just before the shooting.
The Snohomish County sheriff's Major Crimes Unit has since confirmed that the gun used in the shooting was privately owned by Derek Carlile, sheriff's bureau chief Kevin Prentiss said Tuesday.
All of the family's four children were in the van at the time, Prentiss said. Detectives still won't specify which of Jenna's siblings was involved in the shooting.
Until Tuesday, they also wouldn't say how many children were in the vehicle or how old they were.
The investigation is ongoing, Prentiss said Tuesday. Upon completion, it will be forwarded to Snohomish County prosecutors for review.
County Prosecuting Attorney Mark Roe this week said that his office will carefully review the case when it comes to them and determine if charges for anyone are warranted.
"The tragic death of a child took place, and that is being investigated by a separate law enforcement agency," he wrote in an email. "My office has not received that investigation because it isn't done. We know little therefore of what evidence there is or isn't. I find it remarkable that some who know even less are all ready to make a charging decision."
State law says that children under the age of 8 are incapable of committing a crime. In cases where a child finds a gun and uses it to hurt or kill themselves or someone else, adults can face criminal charges, but that happens rarely in Washington.
The laws governing unattended firearms in vehicles are complex, and they can differ for commissioned police officers. There is no specific state law regarding potential criminal penalties for adults who make it possible for children to get their hands on guns.
The Carliles, of Camano Island, have asked for privacy since the shooting.
Marysville police also expect to conduct an internal investigation to determine whether any department policies were violated.

1 French baguette
1 oz goat's cheese per crostini
Olive Oil
Salt and pepper
For the Chutney:
12 cups (3 L) chopped peeled tomatoes
8 cups (2 L) chopped peeled apples
4 cups (1 L) packed brown sugar
3 cups (750 mL) small diced onions
500 mL apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp. (30 mL) chopped ginger root
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp. (5 mL) each salt, dry mustard, hot pepper flakes
½ tsp. (3 mL) each cinnamon and allspice
For the Chutney:
Place all the ingredients in a heavy saucepan, bring to a boil, over medium heat, reduce heat and let simmer until thickened, approximately 1.5 hours. Fill and seal jars, process by boiling in a water bath for ten minutes.
For the crostini:
Preheat oven to 350 F (175 C) thinly slice baguette into ¼ inch slices and place on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil and salt and pepper. Toast in oven for approximately ten minutes or until crunchy. Evenly spread one ounce of goat cheese on each crostini and finish with a tablespoon of tomato apple chutney. Can be served warm or cold.
Hot Broccoli Dip
Here is a Haney Farmers Market market day recipe you might want to try. What makes this dip so special? Well, it's got everything you need in a dip – major creaminess, cheesiness (I used Happy Days Goat's Cheese Cheddar), a kick of flavor from The Chef's Nose Spices (try "The Vegetarian) and of course, broccoli overload, in season right now. And when you take a slice of freshly baked, crusty bread from A Bread Affair and dip that into the piping hot mixture, it is absolute perfection. For an extra zing, try a seasoned salt from The Flour Girl. #haneyfarmersmarket #foodiefriday
Hot Broccoli Dip
2 tsp. (10 mL) olive oil
4 tbsp. (60 mL) Panko*
8 oz. (250 g) cream cheese, at room temperature
2 1/2 cups (625 mL) market fresh broccoli florets
3/4 cup ((175 mL) shredded Happy Days Goat's Cheese Cheddar, divided
1/2 cup (125 mL) sour cream
4 tbsp. (60 mL) grated Parmesan
4 tbsp. (60 mL) milk
1 tbsp. (15 mL) The Chef's Nose Spice (I used 'The Vegetarian')
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Preheat oven to 375 F (190 C). Lightly oil or coat with nonstick spray a 9-inch (23 cm) baking dish that can go from oven to table.
Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium high heat. Add Panko and cook, stirring, until browned and toasted, about 3 minutes; set aside.
In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, broccoli, 1/2 cup of the shredded goat's cheddar, sour cream, Parmesan, milk, Chef's Nose Spice and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Spread broccoli mixture into the prepared baking dish, sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup goat's cheddar.
Place into oven and bake until bubbly, about 20-25 minutes.
Serve immediately sprinkled with toasted Panko.
*Panko is a Japanese-style breadcrumb and can be found in the Asian section of your local grocery store.
Serves 12
1 cup (250 mL) fresh or frozen peas
1 tsp. (5 mL) ground cumin
2 shallots, diced
1 clove garlic
½ lime zested and juiced
½ tsp. (3 mL) red pepper flakes
2 tbsp. (30 mL) chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
If using fresh peas, blanch in a pot of boiling salted water for 30 seconds, refresh in ice water bath.
If using frozen peas, thaw and drain off the water.
Combine ingredients in a food processor until smooth. Serve with tortilla chips, crackers, crustinees or cruidite.
3 lbs. (1.5 kg) ripe tomatoes, cut in half
¼ cup (60 mL) olive oil
2 cups (500 mL) diced onions
6 cloves garlic, minced
Pinch of red pepper flakes
800 mL can plum tomatoes and juice
2 cups (500 mL) mixed herbs (basil, parsley, thyme)
4 cups (1 L) chicken or vegetable stock
Salt and pepper to taste
¼ tsp. (2 mL) goat cheese per person for garnish
Preheat oven to 400 F (200 C). Toss tomatoes with half the oil and season with salt and pepper. Spread in one layer on baking sheet and roast for 45 minutes.
In a large pot over medium heat, add the remaining oil and sauté the onions, garlic and pepper flakes until onions start to caramelize. Add canned tomatoes, roasted tomatoes, stock and herbs. Bring to a simmer and cook uncovered for 3o0 minutes. Puree in batches, serve in bowls or shooter glasses with a dollop of goat's cheese.

DE HAVILLAND AIRCRAFT OF CANADA Downsview, Toronto, Ontario, Canada (Member of the Hawker Siddeley Group). DHC-2 Beaver The prototype of this light single-engined utility transport first flew in August 1947. Since then more than 1,500 have been built, of which nearly 1,000 have been supplied to the US armed forces. There are about 170 in airline service in many parts of the world. A Canadian P & W PT6-A6 turboprop is specified in a new version called the Turbo-Beaver which is now available for early delivery. This new development is in- tended to supplement the piston-engned Beaver which, DH say, will remain in produc- tion for at least one more year. The cabin length of the Turbo-Beaver is 30in longer to permit seating for up to eight passengers. The cruising speed is 127kt; take-off distance to 50ft at gross weight, ISA sea level, is 900ft. Existing Beavers may be converted. DHC-3 Otter The Otter flew for the first time in December 1951, and was awarded a landplane and seaplane certificate of air- worthiness in October 1952. Some 500 Otters have been built, more than half going to US military services and about 50 to airlines. DHC-4 Caribou The Caribou made its first flight in July 1958 and the first of large batches for the US Army was delivered in October 1959. More than 100 are now in service with the US Army in addition to others with the RCAF, Ghana Air Force, Swedish Air Force, Indian Air Force, RAAF and other operators. The Chinese Nationalist airline CAT is so far the only civil operator of the type. In the best bush aircraft tradition: DH's tiew Turbo-Beaver FLIGHT international, 26 November % DHC-5 Buffalo Under joint development for the Canadian and US Armies is this more spacious and heavier turboprop development of the Caribou. Though principally an STOL tactical troop and equipment transporter nevertheless DH has a regard to possible civil applications. The first aircraft of an initial development batch made its maiden flight on April 9 this year. DHC-6 Twin Otter The Twin Otter is a simple and practical response to the world need for a small transport that can open up or maintain local air routes of low traffic density, from the smallest of airfields, yet with the appeal and advantages of turbine power and twin-engine security. This is a requirement which DH has had under study for a long time and which, some years ago, evolved, to US Army requirements, into the much larger Caribou. However, the situation is now especially favourable for the design of a 15- seater since the Canadian Pratt & Whitney PT6A-20 578 e.s.h.p. turboprop has reached production and begun to win a reputation for reliability and good operating features. First announced last August, development and pro- duction have started on an initial quantity of five Twin Otters. Flight trials will begin next June and certification is expected in time for first deliveries in January 1966.

It's almost a year since my clean, tidy, pretty, girly flat was destroyed and filled with smelly boy things and a smelly boy. While he didn't come with many belongings, he has certainly changed my home. Mostly for the better.
So what have I learnt in this year? Glad you asked, and luckily for you I've written a handy list.
- They just do not understand the value of kitchen roll. No, it's not for blowing your nose. Yes, it is bloody expensive. No, I will never stop nagging you about it.
- I don't know why they opened that second jar of pesto when there's an open one directly next to it. They don't know why they opened that second jar of pesto when there's an open one directly next to it. Nobody knows why they opened that second jar of pesto when there's an open one directly next to it. It's one of life's great mysteries.
- That whole stereotype of putting empty bottles and jars and bags back where they came from? Yeah, that's a stereotype for a reason.
- You will miss having the remote control, the bed, and the bathroom to yourself more than anything until they're away for more than one night when you can't wait to be back watching robot wars and shoving them back to their side of the bed.
- You will learn to sleep in spite of the snoring.
- Beard trimmers magically take the hair from a man's chin and THROW IT EVERYWHERE IN THE ENTIRE BATHROOM HAHAHAHA FUCK YOU AND YOUR HOOVER YOU'LL BE FINDING ME FOR MONTHS
- Men are not mindreaders. Even though you know this fact you will still act as though they can on a regular basis.
- Tissues. Everywhere. Just god damn tissues.
- There will be talk about how much of the wardrobe your clothes take up, but that is nothing compared to their sock collection. Which doubles every birthday and Christmas.
- If you try and clear out said sock drawer because who needs 270 pairs you will inevitably throw out their favourite pair. They'll be the ones covered in holes but they got lucky once in Cardiff Oceana while wearing them so they need them.
- Somehow toothpaste will always end up on the mirror. Another mystery.
- Your perfect shower temperature will not be their perfect shower temperature. You will get used to spending ten minutes every morning trying to find that optimum point again (if you ever do may I recommend a Sharpie).
- They do the washing up wrong. Buy a dishwasher or prepare to re do it every time.
- They do the laundry wrong. Just do it yourself.
- Don't end an argument by shouting 'go fuck yourself' and storming off to your room. You'll only have to come back out later with your tail between your legs looking stupid. Storm off to the pub instead, then you'll be drunk and not care.
- The annoying phrases they use all the time will become part of your vocabulary.
- You will have to watch sport, and you will find yourself enjoying it.
- They will become experts on all things Made In Chelsea, just don't tell their friends. (although those friends who also live with their girlfriends, they have equally strong opinions on Binky and JP)
- You suddenly become philosophical but instead of wondering about trees falling you wonder about eating a jar of Nutella for dinner. You used to do it twice a week but now it's bad?
- Somehow they will find a way to simultaneously be the most irritating person in the world and the best person you know. You will want to kill them and you'll never want them to leave. You'll despise their mess, their noise, and their very presence…but they'll make you laugh, they'll bring you home snacks when you're feeling crap, they'll listen, they'll make your life a million times better and you'll know it was the best thing you ever did.
(The kitchen roll thing will never not be annoying, mind.)

Monday, November 27, 2017
HARTFORD – U.S. Senator Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) announced on Monday that New England Airfoil Products, Inc. (NEAP) of Farmington is this week's "Murphy's Monday Manufacturer." George Einstein, the nephew of Albert Einstein, founded NEAP in 1955 as a small machining company. Since then, the company continuously expanded its services and capabilities, and today, NEAP manufactures gas turbine products for air, sea, and land applications. NEAP specializes in tight tolerance machining of products made from nickel-based alloys, stainless steels, titanium, and aluminum.
With the help of 85 employees, the manufacturing company serves customers in the aerospace, marine, and industrial gas turbine markets, including NASA and the U.S. Air Force. They have also furnished gas turbine products for some of the most renowned manufacturers, including Honeywell, Pratt & Whitney, GE, Rolls-Royce, Mitsubishi, and Solar Turbines. The manufacturer's 100,000 square foot Farmington facility has capacity to produce hundreds of thousands of parts per year. NEAP is certified under International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and exports products to customers around the globe. Earlier this month, NEAP participated in the Aerospace Component Manufactures' Trade Show and Workforce Fair where they networked with potential customers, partners, and suppliers, and spoke with roughly 1,000 students who are interested in launching careers in manufacturing.
Murphy said, "New England Airfoil Products is not only proud of their Connecticut heritage, they're also busy thinking about the future of our state's manufacturing sector. They're creating jobs and working to build up Connecticut's manufacturing workforce. I'm here to help them in any way I can."
Max McIntyre, Vice President of New England Airfoil Products and President of Aerospace Component Manufacturers, said, "It's a great time for New England Airfoil Products! It's a great time for the Connecticut aerospace manufacturing cluster! We are very excited to be a part of this industry. New England Airfoil Products has a long esteemed history; we are growing and need to inspire and drive this heritage into the next generation. We are driven by innovation and technology and seek those who want to have an exciting lifelong career in aerospace manufacturing."
The manufacturing industry plays a crucial role throughout Connecticut communities, creating new jobs and accelerating our state's economic recovery. Today, Connecticut's 4,600 manufacturers account for 10% of the state's jobs and 87% of the state's total exports. In order to protect and grow manufacturing jobs in Connecticut, Murphy has introduced two pieces of legislation that aim to strengthen existing standards and prioritize the purchase of American-made goods, the BuyAmerican.gov Act and the American Jobs Matter Act.

Hypnosis - Most people claim that they have NEVER been hypnotised or that they have no concept of what hypnosis is.
QUESTION 1 - Are you one of them?
Well let's see...
In these states, much the same thing has happened as occurs in hypnosis.
Everyone has, and perhaps quite frequently, been in a hypnotic state without realising it.
In childhood, daydreaming which is so real to the child that the dream or imagined situation takes the place of ordinary reality, is essentially self-hypnosis.
In adult life, many people still daydream occasionally, and most people will have episodes of "absent-mindedness" or "going somewhere else" at times, in which they are, as we say, "in a world of their own".
The consciousness of the individual concerned separates into two streams, which are "out of touch" with each other.
You are actually conscious and aware of only one line of thought and action at this time, while the rest is being done at an unconscious level.
Hypnosis is really a normal everyday state of mind that we all go in and out of all the time and is defined as a relaxed, focused state of concentration.
Hypnosis had its beginnings way back in 1766 and is still used in healing to this day, in fact more and more so, in fact as you begin to know and understand more and more so you can see how it forms an integral part of meditation.
Now I am sure that you've all heard of the different brain waves that can be measured when we are in different states of mind:
Beta - This is our normal waking state, alert and conscious. The focus of the 5 senses... sight... sound... touch.. smell... taste. Concentration on cognitive tasks.
Alpha - Relaxed, reflecting or state of hypnosis. Creativity and visualisation. This level is in resonance with the Earth frequency and this in the normal state that animals function in. This is the best state for the treatment of stress and the gateway to all the other levels.
Theta - Waking dream state, meditation. Receptive to information beyond normal conscious awareness. Where hidden memories or secrets are stored in the mind that we block in times of pain to survive and where brain activity slows almost to the point of sleep. Awakening of intuition and extra sensory perception skills.
Delta - Deep sleep and all its stages, detached awareness, healing and coma. The body repairs itself, heals several times faster than normal. Delta acts as a form of radar seeking out the deepest unconscious levels. Access to things we could not understand trough out "thought" process. Access to others thoughts, deepest states of meditation.
We actually move around from beta to theta all day long without noticing it. Hypnosis is really just a word to identify a calm, relaxed, and safe state of mind. There is nothing "woof hey" or dangerous about it.
STOP - Get your Free "Clinical Hypnosis Manual" here!
Hypnosis is one of the most relaxing, gentle life changing therapies around. It's a technique that has proven time and time again to create remarkable life changes for people.
IMPORTANT NOTE: A person cannot be hypnotised unless he or she agrees and co-operates - this cannot be stressed enough. Also remember that whilst hypnotised, nobody can make you do anything that you do not want to do.
Well and good but what about all those people that we see on telly doing all sorts of crazy things?
Even those people on television dancing and acting like Elvis or eating raw onions are doing it because they want to! Remember they have chosen to participate.
It must be emphasised that what hypnotherapists do is, by definition, therapeutic. Stage hypnosis is very different. It is a form of entertainment.
When under hypnosis you will feel very relaxed, just like that wonderful feeling when you are tired, lying on your bed and so overcome with comfort that you wish the moment could last forever.
Through simple hypnotic, relaxation techniques you can easily attain this state at which time it becomes easy to visualise yourself becoming healthier, wealthier, happier, more confident...

OneOK exhibit gives visitors hands-on career, energy information
Students and staff alike got the chance to tour the ONEOK "Powered by One" exhibit when it made a visit to the OCCC campus Aug. 12. The exhibit consisted of a tractor and semitrailer completely powered by CNG or Compressed Natural Gas.
A ONEOK representative also gave a recruiting presentation to about 50 students in the Engineering Club.
Engineering major James McManus attended.
"There is high demand for engineers in the natural gas industry right now," McManus said.
He added there is a lot more room for career advancement now that the industry is booming and technology is advancing.
The speaker pointed out a large block of engineering jobs for the natural gas industry are about to open, as a wave of current employees begin to reach retirement age, McManus said.
He said the company representative stayed around after the one-hour speech to answer any questions.
James MacDonald, also an engineering major, said one thing from the speech that stood out to him was how well ONEOK treats its employees. He said ONEOK keeps to the idea that a happy engineer is a good engineer.
ONEOK Community Relations Representative Lynda Mobley said the exhibit was making visits to local colleges to inform students and visitors about career opportunities at ONEOK, as well as tell people what ONEOK is all about.
Mobley said that ONEOK is environmentally aware. She noted that CNG is actually more environmentally friendly than most other current fuel sources, including gasoline.
The benefits of CNG can also be seen at the pump.
"You may be able to fuel up for anywhere from 88 cents to $1.18 per gallon." Mobley said.
"However a CNG vehicle won't carry you quite as far as an equivalent gasoline powered vehicle.
ONEOK is a fortune 500 company and has been around since 1906.
"Most of its 4,800 employees are based out of Oklahoma, Texas, and Kansas, with a few locations in more northern states," Mobley said.
The mobile unit featured many interactive displays as well as a few video games, including a game where you try to place different shapes and sizes of pipe in the ground to make a pipeline.
For more information on ONEOK or the natural gas industry, contact Lynda Mobley at 405-551-6774 or firstname.lastname@example.com. You can also visit www.oneok.com.

Because processing times for U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services cases can run anywhere from several weeks to several months, the optimal time for checking case status varies, according to Bridge U.S. The USCIS can send automatic emails or texts to notify those waiting regarding any status updates to their cases.
To check the status of a USCIS case, the person involved must have his unique, 13-character case receipt number available, USCIS explains. Using this number, the person can see the most recent action taken on his case. Those waiting for USCIS decisions can also check case status by phone, by mail or by scheduling in-person InfoPass appointments at the nearest USCIS office, notes Bridge U.S.

Did you know we sell hash now?
Hold your horses; we are not the first online legal distributor of the amazing Mary Jane (we wish). But we do sell CBD hash! The only active component in CBD Solid is CBD, which has no psychotropic effects,
Although CBD Solid doesn't get you high, it does give you the experience of smoking nice, sticky hash, with the benefits of CBD and the flavour of your favourite weed strain.
Many users prefer smoking CBD over oral ingestion. CBD Solid is perfect for smoking and vaporizing (as long as you use a suitable vaporizer) - or even baking a "space"-cake if you're feeling experimental.
This concentrate is extracted from industrial hemp
CBD (Cannabidiol) is one of the most important components found in cannabis. CBD has no psychoactive or hallucinogenic effects but is at the forefront of the cannabis revolution thanks to the many beneficial es claimed by research and users.
Read more about CBD in our encyclopedia.
Terpenes are organic compounds found in hemp which contribute to the characteristic flavour, scent and colour of the plant.
Every variety of CBD Solid is extracted from the same industrial hemp plants, so the consistency and CBD content of every type is the same. However, every version is enriched with the terpenes of a different popular cannabis strain. Choose between Lemon Haze, OG Kush and Amnesia Haze.
This legendary strain is the love baby of two already quite amazing strains: Lemon Skunk and Silver Haze. The result is a potent Sativa, that - due to the terpene limonene, that's also present in lemons and other types of citrus fruit - tastes like a combination of fresh lemons, lemon tarts and of course our favourite herb; cannabis. Super Lemon Haze has its origins in Amsterdam, our beloved city of canals. Due to this strain being showered with cannabis prices, it now belongs to one of the most popular strains all over the world. If you like lemon tarts, lemonade, fresh lemons and above all: cannabis, Lemon Haze is the way to go!
O.G. Kush is a legendary cannabis strain with roots in a cross between Indian Chemdawg, Lemon Thai and Paki Kush. Supposedly the O.G. stands for Ocean Grown which makes sense as it forms the basis of many West Coast varieties. The terpene linalool gives the strain a lavender flavour while pinene is responsible for the earthy and woody pine aroma.
Ever been to Amsterdam? Then you've probably smoked Amnesia there. Yep: Amnesia is that strain you smoked before you locked yourself into the toilet and didn't remember how to unlock the door. This blazingly strong Sativa is the speciality of many
Do not use while pregnant. Keep tightly sealed and away from direct sunlight. May induce drowsiness.

Note: I owe this knowledge to my friend Fabio Maulo, so I would like to thank him for teaching me and letting me share.
I will show you in this post a nice way to configure your IoC container and some other aspects of your applications. I assume for this article that you have good knowledge of dependency injection and inversion of control.
The problem
There was a time when we used to configure our containers with xml, and all was fine. Then we started to use fluent and strongly typed interfaces and a problem became more frequent and acute. Basically, when we use a fluent interface, we do something like this:
container.Register(Component.For<IAlbumRepository>() .ImplementedBy<AlbumRepository>() .LifeStyle.Transient);
IAlbumRepository is in Chinook.Data and AlbumRepository is in Chinook.Data.Impl.
The problem is not *how* but *where*. Where do you do this?
Most people will say "The startup project". One of the goal that we look when using IoC is:
..decoupling of the execution of a certain task from implementation.
Pay attention to the "Decoupling" part. If you want "decoupling": Why do you add all those references in your startup project?
This is a NDepend extracted graph of the Northwind example that comes with Sharp Architecture:
If you look at the Northwind.Web assembly you will see that it has a reference even to NHibernate. It has a reference to Northwind.Data (repositories that use NHibernate). The contract interface of repositories is in Northwind.Core. Also you can see that the start up project need a reference to Castle Container. If I want a loosely coupled solution, I don't want some of those references.
Pay atention; the northwind example of Sharp Architecture is a very good example, is a good architecture, and this is neither a complain nor a criticism. I'm pretty sure that it defines interfaces and implementations separately, as I'm pretty sure that controllers depends upon IRepositories. But, I think it has a problem at reference level. The main problem is because the initialization of the container is in a wrong place. You could see the initialization script here.
So, what I'm looking for is:
- I don't want references to concrete implementations in my startup project.
- I don't want to depend upon a specific IoC container technology.
- And finally I don't want to configure my container in the startup project, its is another "aspect" of my application like the repositories!
The Solution
The solution is very simple. Take the container initialization to another place.
We used to call this place "The GuyWire", in italian "Cavo Portante", in spanish "Cable Maestro":
A guy-wire or guy-rope is a tensioned cable designed to add stability to structures
Two simple rules to remember:
- In order to configure service and implementers fluently, the GuyWire will reference everything.
- Because the guy-wire reference everything, the GuyWire can not be referenced.
The guywire is an excellent place to "configure" the whole application. I used to separate the configuration in different aspects. Here some examples:
- ORM configuration
- Constraint Validator configuration
- Repositories configuration
- Entities configuration
- ViewModel configuration
- Controllers configuration
- Views configuration
You can explore the configurators of ChinookMediaManager here.
How does it works?
The guywire project has an special "Output Path":
So, the path is the "Startup" project.
Secondly, in the App.Config, I have a config like this:
<appSettings> <add key="GuyWire" value="ChinookMediaManager.GuyWire.GeneralGuyWire, ChinookMediaManager.GuyWire" /> </appSettings>
And finally, in my App.Xaml.cs:
public partial class App : Application { private readonly IGuyWire guyWire = ApplicationConfiguration.GetGuyWire(); public App() { guyWire.Wire(); } protected override void OnStartup(StartupEventArgs e) { var viewFactory = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<IViewFactory>(); viewFactory.ShowView<BrowseArtistViewModel>(); } protected override void OnExit(ExitEventArgs e) { guyWire.Dewire(); base.OnExit(e); } }
The interface IGuyWire and other classes needed for doing this, are in unhaddins.
The dependency graph of the Chinook Media Manager is:
Image taked with NDepend.
A last word about the Configurators
I really like the idea of have different parts of the application configuration in separated classes. I used to reuse this configurators alone in my Tests. But, as a I said before, the guywire should not be referenced by any project. So, my trick is add the configurator as a "linked file" to the test project:
And this is a sample:
private IWindsorContainer container; [TestFixtureSetUp] public void FixtureSetUp() { container = new WindsorContainer(); var configurator = new NHVConfigurator(); configurator.Configure(container); } [Test] public void title_constraints() { GetConstraint<Album, NotEmptyAttribute>(a => a.Title) .Message .Should().Be.EqualTo("Title should not be null."); GetConstraint<Album, LengthAttribute>(a => a.Title) .Should().Be.OfType<LengthAttribute>() .And.ValueOf.Message.Should() .Be.EqualTo("Title should not exceed 200 chars."); }
I will not talk about this long break in the series. If you are interested in Wpf and Nhibernate, you should be happy because; I'M BACK!

Classification of stairs
Types Of Stairs:
Depending upon the various arrangement of steps, stairs can be classified under following categories:
1. Straight Stair:
In this stair, all the steps are arranged continuously along in one direction. One flight may be split into one or more than one flight by interposing a landing. This stair can be used where narrow and long space is available for a staircase such as entrance, porch etc.
2. Dogged-legged Stair:
This stair consists of two straight flights of steps with direct turns between them. This stair is very useful where the total width of the stair is just twice the width of the steps.
3. Open Newel Stair:
This type of stair consists of two or more flights arranging a well or opening between the backward and forward flights. When all the steps are difficult to arrange in two flights, a short third flight of 3 to 6 steps may be provided along the direction perpendicular to the hall. Open newel stair is mostly adopted in the lift.
4. Geometrical Stair:
This is another type of open newel stair where the open well between the forward and the backward flight is curved. This stair may contain different geometrical shape. Here the change in direction is achieved by using winders.
5. Circular Stair:
In this type of stair, all the steps radiate from a newel or well hole, in the form of winders. The circular stair is adopted at the back side of a building to access its various floors.
6. Spiral Stair:
Spiral stair is very similar to a circular stair. It consists of individual steps or treads, connecting to a centre column. The overall diameter of the stair may range from 1 to 2.5 m.
7. Quarter-turn Stair:
The quarter-turn stair can be defined as the stairs that are turned at 90 degrees with the help of level landing.
8. Bifurcated Stair:
This type of stair is provided in modern public buildings as well as residential buildings. In this stair, the flight is so arranged that there is a wide flight at the start which is sub-divided into narrow flights at the mid-landing. The narrow flights start from either side of the mid landing.

Normal Cost: $3500
Early Bird Special: $2400
Enrollment Closes: July 20, 2015
Course Itinerary: Download here
Course Description:
A course for intermediate level photographers, this workshop will allow participants to not only enhance their portfolios with unique footage of Amazonian wildlife, but to learn from one of the most experienced natural history filmmakers in the field – Robin Cox. Gain experience filming a range of wildlife – any number of the 500+ species of birds, 11 primate species, snakes, caiman, turtles, insects, and much more – guided by experienced tropical biologists. Additionally, you will work on a special assignment to practice documentary-style filming of field biologists at work in the Amazon.
The course is organized around several key modules with an overall goal of exposing each student to film making in a variety of contexts in the rainforest. These modules include but are not limited to:
- Safety and ethics when working with wildlife, and why it is important to know the history and conservation concerns associated with the area.
- Filming a range of subjects, under conditions that are realistic and challenging, such as:
- from boats on oxbow lakes (potential subjects: anacondas, bats, hoatzins, giant river otters, and tiger herons),
- from a 60-m tall canopy tower (potential subjects: oropendolas, spider monkeys, macaws, parrots, and the vast Amazon rainforest),
- on the 25-km long trail system (subjects: primates, terrestrial mammals such as armadills, tapirs, tayras and maybe even some cats),
- off the trail system (no-man's-land).
- Experience recreating a sound lab to add convincing audio tracks to your film
- Experience filming with drones
- The creation of a short documentary film (planned, executed, cut and edited on site), that highlights research conducted at the site by FPI – the best way to practice the complete art of natural history filmmaking.

Koerner Hall is celebrating its fifth anniversary this season. During these years, the beautiful recital hall has become an integral part of Toronto's cultural life. The man who oversaw the launch of the hall, and who is responsible for its programming, is Mervon Mehta, the Royal Conservatory's executive director of performing arts.
Mehta, 53, comes from music royalty. He's the son of famed conductor Zubin Mehta and soprano/voice teacher Carmen Lasky Mehta. Grandfather/conductor/violinist Mehli Mehta was the founder of the Bombay Symphony Orchestra, uncle Zarin Mehta was executive director of the Montreal Symphony, Ravinia Festival and the New York Philharmonic, while cousin Bejun Mehta is an internationally acclaimed countertenor. There are also many Mehta cousins scattered around the world who are engaged in music activity of some sort. Mervon Mehta himself is a man of many talents, first as an actor and later as an arts administrator.
Mehta sat down with Paula Citron for a wide-ranging and candid interview that lasted for over two hours. The following Q&A reflects the who, what and where of Mervon Mehta.
You certainly had a peripatetic early life that included Vienna, Liverpool, Saskatoon and Philadelphia, before finally settling in Montreal where you grew up. Why all the travelling? My parents met as music students at Vienna's Hochschule. We left when I was six months old. My dad was appointed assistant conductor of the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic after winning an international conducting competition there. Because my parents had no job prospects and no money when that appointment ended, we went to live with my mother's parents in Saskatoon. When it was clear that Saskatoon wasn't going to jumpstart a career, we moved to Philadelphia to be with my father's parents. We slept on their couch. My grandfather was a member of the Curtis String Quartet and taught at the University of the Arts. My dad got a lucky break when he was called to replace a conductor at the Montreal Symphony, which led directly to his becoming the music director of the MSO. Maybe the board thought that an Indian conductor was exotic and sexy.
Your uncle Zarin, Zubin's brother, is also your stepfather. After my parents divorced, my mother married Zarin. It was like Hamlet, only no one got killed. I adored my uncle so it didn't feel strange when he moved in. I have one full sister and two half-siblings.
What was it like growing up in a musical family? My family is in the classical music business, so for me, normal was going to a lot of concerts, and being exposed to many different genres of music. My mother taught her students in the house, so I was surrounded by music, but I never thought my life was special.
And yet, when it came to a career, you avoided music. I did take violin and piano lessons, but I had no musical talent. I went in a different direction by engaging in sports. I played hockey, soccer and tennis. I went to Colgate University in upstate New York to get away from Montreal. That's where I fell in love with drama, although I was studying Russian and political science. I did everything relating to theatre — acting, directing, writing and producing. I introduced the drama department to the plays of Michel Tremblay. It was my Colgate theatre prof who said I should go to theatre school.
So that took you to New York, and Sanford Meisner and the Neighborhood Playhouse. His training was based on Constantin Stanislavski. Is that what attracted you? I liked his organic way of teaching. Like doing scales in music, his basic training was grass roots, honing in on the body, mind and instincts. It was all about theatre and acting. He was terrifying, always shouting at us that we had no idea about life, which was true. I studied with him for two years.
How did your career as an actor take form? I spent six years in New York, doing soap operas, Off-Broadway and summer stock. I was a singing waiter for three years, which helped pay my way. I came to Toronto in 1985, because I had some high school friends here, and I was looking for a new experience. I got an agent, which led to two glorious years at the Stratford Festival. When I came back to Toronto, I couldn't get any work because of the belief that once you did Stratford, you couldn't do TV or stage. So I looked to the States and went to Chicago. There was a lot of acting work, but it paid nothing.
And Chicago led to Ravinia which led to Philadelphia's Kimmel Center. My uncle Zarin had left the MSO to become the executive director of the Ravinia Festival. He asked me to babysit the pop concerts. It was supposed to be a temporary position, but then I was asked to program the pop series. I had produced concerts at Stratford and I knew my way around an IATSE contract. I was an expert in nothing, but was knowledgeable about lots of things relating to performance. Eventually I became director of programming, and then director of production. That's where I got experience programming classical, jazz, world music, country, pop and music theatre artists. I made the move to the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts in 2002 when I was offered the position of first vice-president of programming and education. I really opened up the programming to all kinds of diverse artists and musical genres.
And then the Royal Conservatory headhunters came calling. I wasn't interested in a school at all. I had hated music school when I was there, but because my mother had graduated from the RCM, I gave her a call. I also contacted Janice Price who was head of the Luminato Festival. She had been CEO of the Kimmel Center. In fact, I was her first hire. Both of them told me the RCM deserved looking at. It was Janice who introduced me to Peter Simon, the RCM's president.
You had married Carey Suleiman who was in marketing at Ravinia. How did these moves affect her career? She was able to get marketing jobs in every city. She's currently vice-president of marketing and communications for the Toronto Symphony.
I'm curious about your son's name, Zed. Because there was Zubin and Zarin, we were looking for a name that began with "Z." We finally decided, why not Zed? Other names are alphabet letters.
Do you have an overriding vision for your role at the RCM? Before I got here, Peter Simon and the board had envisioned that they were building a palace for music — that they were going to create a great musical dialogue with the audience. That is the mandate I inherited, and I absolutely believe in it. They certainly had their priorities straight by concentrating on the acoustics. Midori told me that she loves Koerner Hall because you can hear everything. By the same token, she hates Koerner Hall because you can hear everything.
Why do you think that Koerner Hall was able to establish itself as a go-to place so quickly? For starters, there were fabulous reviews about the acoustics. Also, artists' anecdotes and word-of-mouth to agents. For example, Yo-Yo Ma opened our second season. He had heard about the hall from Midori because they have the same agent. I think we also got the reputation for offering a different kind of experience.
So let's talk about programming at the RCM in general, and Koerner Hall in particular. Programming was always going to be broad-based and of a high quality. That's what attracted me. We are, however, fairly limited in what we can do because there is no wing space, for example. We can't do rock concerts because we don't have the proper sound system. Then there's logistics and politics. Some top tier artists just don't want to come to North America. It's also important to program a significant number of Canadians. We don't repeat people in consecutive seasons, but there are exceptions. Gidon Kremer cut his fee in half so he could do a warm-up here for his Carnegie Hall concert.
I also look for themes. This season we're presenting all ten Beethoven violin sonatas. There's an Italian series featuring baroque, folk, jazz, pop and opera. The 21st century music festival features over 17 premieres. The jazz series is celebrating the musical legacies of Dinah Washington and Sarah Vaughan, both of whom would be turning 90 this year. We did Oscar Peterson a couple of years ago. It's more fun to do a concentration. I'm actually open to everything. We keep on experimenting — throw something at the wall and see what sticks. In this game, you can't get complacent.
Have you had programming that was not successful? The year we featured a baroque series, it didn't sell. It was a tough lesson. We discovered that the Tafelmusik audience is loyal, and that they won't go elsewhere. We lost money on every single concert. Also, the vocal series can't attract an audience, or a sponsor. There doesn't seem to be star power in vocal except for rare cases. Ian Bostridge sold just 450 seats at Koerner Hall. It was embarrassing. We thought it would work because he had sold 1,000 seats at Roy Thomson Hall. András Schiff is one of our biggest sellers for a piano recital, but when he came with a singer, it was half a house. Jazz great Chick Corea is going to attract the same crowd whether he's a solo, or with a band, yet the opera crowd doesn't seem to come to recitals. We can't afford to lose $20,000 on the vocal series. I do have to exercise fiscal responsibility. It is our biggest weakness, but I'm not giving up on it. We've moved down to three concerts from four this season. We're also kind of going at it sideways, by presenting non-traditional recitals, like the Natalie Dessay concert featuring the music of Michel Legrand.
Have you shifted the emphasis in programming over the years? I see that the number of concerts is down from a high of 87 in 2011/12, to this coming season's low of 71. There's no fixed number of concerts. It depends on who is available. For example, last year there were no African musicians, because no big names were touring, while this year there are four, because they are all coming to North America. I also only book things that I think will do well, but balance is the key. Admittedly, 87 different concerts just put too many tickets out there. The ideal number is between 75 and 80.
There's been no appreciable shift in programming. The double mission is still the same given our location — performance and education. Generally speaking, the split is 30% to 40% classical, 20% jazz, with the rest being world music and pop. The faculty concerts are at Mazzoleni Concert Hall, so programming for that venue is skewed toward classical. The majority of the concert rentals is also classical, like the Mendelssohn Choir. I think the general public sees us as a classical venue so part of the challenge is branding — letting audiences see that there are other types of concerts going on here.
What's the audience profile? Seventy-five per cent is from the GTA, although we also get people from London, Ottawa, Burlington and Oakville. Some come from the U.S. We did get grants to advertise out of town, specifically in Buffalo and Montreal.
How are you marketing the hall to build audiences? We have arrangements with local hotels — the Park Hyatt and InterContinental — for packages that include hotel room, dinner and a concert ticket, or just dinner and a concert. We created the Francophone series that brought Montreal artists to Toronto. We partnered with Alliance Française in the Chansongs series that featured singer/songwriters, one Anglophone, one Francophone, in an informal evening of music and stories in the intimate Conservatory Theatre.
We can also pack Koerner Hall by presenting ethnic artists, like Batuko Tabanka from Cape Verde, but we have to find the right partners who know their communities, and the right convenience stores to post concert flyers. This year we're partnering with Hot Docs on an experiment featuring music documentaries that relate to our season, like Pianomania, about a virtuoso Viennese piano tuner, and Jazz on a Summer's Day, about the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival. I'm hosting the chats with special guests. We're also toying with a family series for Saturday afternoons.
You've also made outreach to artists from other organizations in the city. Peter Oundjian had already conducted the Royal Conservatory Orchestra before Koerner Hall was built, but I brought in the COC's Johannes Debus, along with young Canadian conductors like Julian Kuerti and Jean-Philippe Tremblay.
Is there a rapprochement with other series in the city? Is there a problem about stealing audiences? The donation pool is also small. There's a gentleman's agreement between us and Richmond Hill, Brampton, Oakville and Burlington. There is not a big enough audience to sustain performances at all five venues. An artist can do two, but not all five. We talk to each other all the time because we have to be careful. We also work with the TSO, to make sure an orchestral appearance and a recital are spread out. Needless to say, we don't have bidding wars with Live Nation over rock groups.
What's your budget? We don't really have a budget. My priority is to break even and pay our overhead. We bring in whom we can under these conditions. Along with government support, our revenue from ticket sales and rentals is between $1.5 and $2.5 million. It's a $5 million department overall. The city didn't give a dime to build Koerner Hall, but it seems that mayor Rob Ford has turned his head around and now sees that culture means economics and growth.
The Ontario Arts Council gives money to the Glenn Gould School and we get Canadian Heritage money for concerts. We don't get any Canada Council grants, but the performance division is only five years old and we have to pay our dues. It's part of the game. We also get revenue from radio broadcasts, but that is down. The CBC taped ten concerts the first season, and just two last year. Also, advertisement costs just keep going up, so somewhere down the line, do we stop doing print, and opt only for social media?
I'm curious about what you mean by rentals? Are you just referring to other performance groups renting the space? It means a wide range of renters. In fact, without rentals, we couldn't survive. We play host to weddings, corporate AGMs, product launches, TIFF parties, etc. We make more money on a wedding than we do on a concert.
And my final question. How have you adjusted to life in Toronto? It's a pretty extraordinary city to live in. When people ask me "Why Toronto?" I counter with, "Do you know what you have here?"

So I googled "picture of a frumpy housewife today." Why, you ask? Because I half expected to see a picture of myself! I was quiet pleased that they haven't added my picture to the google search engine quite yet. Maybe if I skipped the bra under my t-shirt and wore slippers instead of shoes they would feel obliged to add my mug to the gallery. But they did have a picture of Liz Taylor. Huh? Okay, I do think she's frumpy in a gold and heavy make-up sort of way.
I also found this article from USA Today:
Mom, it seems, doesn't want to check her sexuality at the picket-fence gate anymore.
" 'Yummy mummies' we call them in Australia," says Anna Johnson, the author of Three Black Skirts: All You Need to Survive. "They have kitten heels, cleavage, and they don't cut their hair short." Johnson, 38 and pregnant for the first time, hopes to follow the Prada-lined path blazed by sultry moms such as Uma Thurman. "You're handing your body and your life over to your baby, but you don't have to hand your style over to your baby."
So, today I am going to begin my "Yummy Mummy" makeover. I want to be pretty. I need to feel refreshed and on top of the world. I'm sick of the frumpy me. So, here I come yummy mummy!!!! Just after I clean my house, pick up dog poop, do laundry, and clean the bathrooms. Oh, yeah, and after I find my high heel shoes and perfume. I think I own those things.....

DRAFT: Who are the Democratic superdelegates?
Superdelegates are members of the Democratic Party who are free to vote for any candidate they choose at the nominating convention in August. They're mostly made up of Democratic elected officials, party officials and former party leaders. Superdelegates have come to the forefront because they could decide whether Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton becomes the presidential nominee; if neither candidate wins 2,025 pledged delegates during the primary and caucus season.
If you can't access the table below, follow this link for a sortable table of the superdelegates.
The informal term "superdelegate" is applied to unpledged PLEOs (party leaders and elected officials), whose status is independent of primary and caucus results. They are assigned by the Democratic National Committee and their membership is not confined to the current election cycle. In addition, there are "unpledged add-on delegates" who are selected by the states after their primary or caucus. There are 76 such slots for this election, and only a few have been selected at this time.
How you get to 793 Democratic superdelegates:
The table below contains all of the 721 unpledged PLEOs, as listed by the DNC as of April 3, 2008. Also included are the 23 unpledged PLEOs living in Florida, as well as Michigan's 26, although they will likely not get to vote at the convention because their states violated primary scheduling rules. The eight Democrats Abroad delegates only get half of a vote each, so that means the official number of unpledged PLEOs is 717. When all of the 76 add-on delegates are assigned, the total is 794.

By Gil Roth, Editor, Contract Pharma
To me, the greatest thing about New York City is the way it brings so many disparate perspectives together into an enormous mosaic. Having spent most of my days living in a quiet NJ exurb around 30 miles away from it, I have a great appreciation for the city's hyperactive melting pot (even if I prefer to sleep somewhere nice and quiet). It's an unrivaled location for arts, culture, business, dining, and conversation.
Just last Friday, I got up in the morning, opened the New York Times, discovered that the Metropolitan Museum of Art is displaying a great Rembrandt self-portrait on loan from England, and decided, "I'm going to go see that!" (It was Good Friday, and our office was closed.) It's a city of limitless possibility.
(Why, New York is so unpredictable that Pete's (and my) favorite baseball team managed to open the season 0-3 while the cross-town Mets somehow started 3-0. Who saw THAT coming?)
Having INTERPHEX in New York again reinforces that notion of the city as the nexus of many different viewpoints. The show attracts attendees and exhibitors from all over the world, and it's structured to allow both free-flowing, chance discoveries as well as targeted meet-ups like the Outsourcing One-on-One program that Contract Pharma is sponsoring. Just like New York, INTERPHEX is focused on commerce but based on conversation.
I hope to see you there at one of Contract Pharma's booths from May 1-3. And if it's your first time in the city (and thus your first INTERPHEX), come by and tell me how you like it! One of my favorite parts of the event (besides all the background conversations I get to have with outsourcing providers and sponsors) is talking with first-timers: it's always illuminating to hear from "newbies" about their inaugural experience in the city and the show.
