Q: Unity in C# for Platform Specific Implementations My program has heavy interaction with the operating system through Win32API functions. Now I want to migrate my program to run under Mono under Linux (No wine), and this requires different implementations to the interaction with the operating system.
I started designing a code that can have different implementation for different platforms and is extensible for new future platforms.
public interface ISomeInterface
{
    void SomePlatformSpecificOperation();
}

[PlatformSpecific(PlatformID.Unix)]
public class SomeImplementation : ISomeInterface
{
    #region ISomeInterface Members

    public void SomePlatformSpecificOperation()
    {
        Console.WriteLine("From SomeImplementation");
    }

    #endregion
}

public class PlatformSpecificAttribute : Attribute
{
    private PlatformID _platform;

    public PlatformSpecificAttribute(PlatformID platform)
    {
        _platform = platform;
    }

    public PlatformID Platform
    {
        get { return _platform; }
    }
}

public static class PlatformSpecificUtils
{
    public static IEnumerable<Type> GetImplementationTypes<T>()
    {
        foreach (Assembly assembly in AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies())
        {
            foreach (Type type in assembly.GetTypes())
            {
                if (typeof(T).IsAssignableFrom(type) && type != typeof(T) && IsPlatformMatch(type))
                {
                    yield return type;
                }
            }
        }
    }

    private static bool IsPlatformMatch(Type type)
    {
        return GetPlatforms(type).Any(platform => platform == Environment.OSVersion.Platform);
    }

    private static IEnumerable<PlatformID> GetPlatforms(Type type)
    {
        return type.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(PlatformSpecificAttribute), false)
            .Select(obj => ((PlatformSpecificAttribute)obj).Platform);
    }
}

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        Type first = PlatformSpecificUtils.GetImplementationTypes<ISomeInterface>().FirstOrDefault();
    }
}

I see two problems with this design:

*

*I can't force the implementations of ISomeInterface to have a PlatformSpecificAttribute.

*Multiple implementations can be marked with the same PlatformID, and I dont know which to use in the Main. Using the first one is ummm ugly.

How to solve those problems? Can you suggest another design?

A: Take a look at the source for Banshee. They have a neat way of plugging in different implementations depending on the platform.

A: I think you can prepare two or more app.config files, and then inject platform dependent implementation accordingly in each.
Finally, leave the heavy task to platform dependent installation or any other deployment methods, when on Windows the Windows version of app.config is used, while on Unix the Unix version is used.
You can use an addin architecture or other complicated solutions to achieve other nice features.

A: Funny you mention Unity, have you considered using a Dependency Injection container? I believe Castle Windsor, StructureMap and ninject all may have some degree of Mono support.

Whenever I have broccoli in my produce door my thoughts always go to the cheesy rice and broccoli dish my Mom made when I was a kid. There's just nothing more comforting than cheesy goodness, in my opinion.
One of my favorite tricks for creamy cheesy casseroles is to add low fat Greek yogurt. Not only does it add creaminess while letting me decrease the amount of cheese in the recipe, it also keeps the saturated fat of the dish in check, and bumps up the protein content.
So this week, with a head of broccoli in my fridge and a goal of making a protein packed comfort food, I started cooking with that cheesy rice and broccoli dish as my inspiration.
If you split this casserole among four people you'll get about 265 calories per serving and almost 20 grams of protein. Each serving has about 35 g of carbohydrates (so a little over 2 carb choices).
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease casserole dish (I used a 3qt one, 7" x 11" would also work, or 8" x 10" for a thicker casserole).
Mix all the ingredients except the cheese together. Add in about 1/2 of the cheese (1/3 to 1/2 cup) and mix. Spoon mixture into casserole dish. Sprinkle the remainder of the cheese on top. Bake for 5-10 minutes until cheese is melted.
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Hopefully the feeling of gratitude will stick with you longer than the leftovers.
Anyway, this recipe came about because I had a can of enchilada sauce in my pantry that I was tired of looking at. The plan was to make stuffed peppers, but 2 of the 3 peppers I cut into had gone bad. So, as often happens when we make plans, the plan had to change.
This recipe was quite a hit in my house. Assuming you already have the turkey cooked from Thanksgiving (and maybe even some leftover rice laying around) it comes together very quickly. It makes about 4 servings.
In a skillet heat the enchilada sauce, pumpkin, and bell pepper over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Then add the shredded turkey. Heat for another 5 minutes, mixing occasionally to avoid sticking.
Serve up about 1/2 cup of rice per person. Scoop turkey with sauce over the rice, about 1/2 cup. Sprinkle with a handful of pumpkin seeds and a tablespoon of cheese.
Note: If you have raw pumpkin seeds, put them on a baking sheet and pop them in the oven oven at 350 degrees F for about 10 minutes to give them a little crunch.
It has officially been fall for two weeks. Those of us in southern California would probably disagree with that (it's going to be 100 degrees this weekend! Ugh), but it's true. Fall is my favorite season. There's so much to love about it: cooler weather (supposedly), fun holidays, and so many delicious seasonal foods.
I mean, honestly, can you name a fall food that's not amazing? Pumpkins, apples, cranberries, butternut squash, persimmons, beets, pears, spaghetti squash. The list goes on and on; each one more delicious than the next.
At the farmer's market this last weekend I picked up some persimmons. I was only introduced to this fruit last fall, but I'm already a huge fan. If you've never tried them, pick up some at your local market this week and try the recipe below.
Persimmons, like most fruits, are fairly low in calories, and are a great source of vitamin C (110% of your daily Vitamin C needs in one persimmon!). They also provide iron and calcium, which is somewhat unusual for a fruit. One persimmon provides about 14% of your daily iron needs and 3% of your daily calcium.
For this recipe I made brown rice with cranberries to serve it over. Make the rice per the box directions and add in 1/2 cup of dried cranberries when it starts boiling. I also roasted two sliced beets and served them on the side.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Place persimmons and pork loin in baking dish. Coat top of pork with tomato paste. Sprinkle spices over pork and persimmons. Pour water into baking dish. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until pork reaches an internal temperature of 155 degrees F. Serve over rice.
Right now I have 3 very ripe bananas in my kitchen. People who know me know how rare that is. I loathe ripe bananas; as soon as they lose the green at the top, I'm done with them. They're just so banana-y. But I purposefully let these bananas ripen (it took a lot of self-restraint, believe me) so that I can make one of my favorite energy bite recipes I found on Pinterest (link at the bottom of the post).
It's just bananas, peanut butter, oats, and chocolate chips, and they roll up into easy grab-and-go little balls of energy. They're the perfect pre-workout snack. Fueling up pre-workout is so important; have you ever tried to workout hungry? It's not fun, and you definitely don't perform at your best. Plus, you run the risk of forcing your body to burn muscle glycogen (which means breaking down muscle) just to make it through the workout. Kind of defeats the point of exercising, right?
When it comes to the pre-workout snack, carbohydrates are your friend (I mean, they're always your friend, but especially before you hit the gym). When you're exercising, your body needs immediate fuel. Carbohydrates provide fuel that is ready to burn, whereas fat and protein are a slower sources of fuel.
Post workout is when you want to get some protein in, as well as more carbohydrates. Did you know that consuming carbohydrates and protein post workout actually increases your body's fat burning ability? It can also decrease muscle soreness as you recover and increase your ability to re-hydrate. You want to have a recovery drink/snack/meal within an hour after your workout for the best results. The absolute best recovery drink? Low fat chocolate milk. It provides the perfect mix of carbohydrates and protein for optimal recovery, so you see the results you want.
Here's the recipe I mentioned at the beginning of the post. For the "heaping" spoonful I do 2 tablespoons of creamy, natural peanut butter. I also cut the chocolate chips to 1/3 cup. What are some of your favorite pre and post workout snacks?

For many of us when we hear the name Kerala, the pictures that come in front of our eyes are Coconut tree lines, Kathakali, Beach, Boats and of course Fish. Though it is my home state, I must say I haven't really explored it enough. The last couple of months had been a lot of dwelling in the mountain and it was time to feel some wet sand underneath the feet as I turn a year older.
It was exactly two years since I had started my solo expedition and it was that time of the year again to plan something exciting. Alleppey is one of the most sought after destination by people of all age groups, hence finding the stay and travel routes weren't very hard. Two days were making justice to the plan I had in mind to see major parts of the town and the first thing I did was to book my stay at Zostel. And guess what, the beach is right in front of it !!!! Waiting for the trip-day to arrive is always the best time of the month.
For those who have some close connection with the state, here is the tune to bring back some memories from childhood:
Thi thi thara thi thi thai
Thi thai thaka thei thei thom
The boat song
When I woke up the to "alleppey… alleppey" call of the bus conductor, it was 7:45 AM in the morning. Google maps showed that Zostel is about 2.5 KM from where I had got down and I decided to cover that distance by walk. The humid weather even at such an early time was making me regret the decision, but the views around were somehow compensating for it. Walking beside a water canal along the way, the town was communicating something different about it. The town of Alleppey is known for its backwaters and rice cultivation. Since major parts of the town are separated by backwaters and canals, people use these as a faster and convenient mode of transport to travel between the places. And the Boat Song mentioned above starts as: "Kuttanadan Punjayile" which translates to Paddy fields of Kuttanad, a place in Alleppey filled with green Paddy fields. So, we were at the birth-place of this song 🙂
A typical day in Alleppey
Not all places could accommodate early check-in and Zostel was one of them always filled with travelers on any day of the week. Thankfully there were facilities to freshen up and keep my belongings aside so I could save up time in the day instead of waiting for check-in at 12. The first thing I did after getting ready was to walk to the beach and soak in some fresh air. The stomach was already growling and the Cafe Catamaran right next to the beach was there for the rescue. Sipping on a hot cup of coffee while watching the vast blue sea was already setting the mood.
One of the most amazing coffee I have had so far….
Joyesh, manager at Zostel had arranged for a two-wheeler on my request. After taking some suggestions from him on places to visit for the day, I set out to explore this pretty town. Most of my trips have at least one temple visit included in the itinerary, and Shri Krishna temple at Ambalaphuza was the place this time at Alleppey. I had always wanted to see the beautiful step wells by the side of temples that have the distinct gopuram entrance extending till the water. A structure I had noticed to be uniquely found in Kerala. Also, the Pal-Payasam (milk kheer) was quite famous at this temple at Ambalaphuza, enough reasons to drag me here. The 9 KM distance from Zostel was taking longer than usual due to the bad condition of the scooter.
Yellow melons…. Summer is here
The temple was built in the 13th century and has undergone renovation multiple times. I was 15 minutes earlier to the Pal-Payasam distribution and the first thing I did was to get a token for it. At 12 after Naivedyam the piping hot payasam was distributed in sealed containers in half and one-liter portions. The lake beside the temple was exactly how I had imagined it to be. Soaking feet in the cold water of the lake was refreshing in that scorching heat. I somehow managed to get a spoon and took a heavenly sip of Payasam, yes! it was worth the visit.
Beautiful lake at Ambalapuzha

I had to head back in the opposite direction to reach Marari beach and explore some places on the way. The first one was the Revi Karunakaran Museum. It is a private museum managed by the family of Revi who was a coir businessman in Alleppey. The artifacts at this museum are collected over 3 generations starting with the grandfather of Revi from their visits in India and abroad. Though it was packed with kids from a school trip, the guides were patiently explaining details of every section. The ground floor had a collection of paintings and furniture from various parts of the world still in perfect condition. Till here, the place seemed like any normal museum. It was on the first floor I got awestruck. There were two sections in a huge hall were the first section was filled with artifacts made from pure crystal. Twinkling in the lights of the room, there was a crystal of almost every color that you can think of. Some of the rarest and "collector's only edition" by Swarovski are on display here. The other section of the hall was artifacts made using ivory. The place boasts of the largest collection of ivory with about 800 artifacts and the net worth of the contents in the museum is said to be about 800 Cr.
Beautiful installations

Upon learning that Alleppey was one of the earliest places to have coir industries, there was an urge to know more about it. The coir factory by Revi though functional, was not open for visitors. The staff there suggested visiting the Coir Museum which was luckily en route Marari beach. The place was actually a government-run coir factory with a dedicated section that speaks about the history of coir business in Alleppey. Starting with James and Henry in 1859, many industrialists and local businessmen set up industries and revised the coir manufacturing methods through multiple iterations to make it more productive and more eco friendly. Coir is produced using the fibers of coconut shells and to separate it, the shells need to be soaked in for months together in the traditional process. It would then be 'retted' (beating with a wooden mallet) to separate the fibers and woven into threads after drying. With the wave of technology influencing the coir industry, I could see bags, vase, artifacts, bricks, tiles and even a model of a house that was made using coir and sawdust. Here I was allowed to visit the factory too where there were looms that weaved the coir fibers into mats. Many workers were making doormats and ropes each with unique methods. After some quick souvenir shopping, it was time to head to the beach.

So many things with coir and sawdust 😲

Long, smooth and curved roads are perfect to be explored on two-wheelers and I was lucky enough to get a stretch as soon as I parted from the highway towards the beach. This gave me a closer look at the daily lives of the locals resembling the scenes from my hometown. There were lungi clad men moving around on cycles, catching up with their friends about the news, school kids walking back home and so on. 4 PM is not really an ideal time to visit the beach and it was too bright and hot at Marari beach. Compared to the one near Zostel, the seashore here has chairs to lay down soak in the vitamin sea! It wasn't crowded much and a long walk on the wet sand was peaceful.
Beautiful Canals en route
Marari beach
My last item in the checklist was Alleppey lighthouse which was scheduled to close by 5:30 PM. I had to rush through the 9 KM distance and make sure I had enough time to explore the place and get a good bird's eye view of the town. Fortunately, there weren't many visitors that day. I managed to find a seat facing the sea and admire the beauty of this amazing town. Though the backwaters and canals were either hidden beneath the canopy or were too far away, watching the sun go down from about 100ft above the ground was the highlight of the day. Since the place closed by 5:30, I headed back to Zostel to watch the sunset by the beach which was by now filled with people. After a sumptuous meal at Cafe, I spent the next few hours reading my ever unfinished "Early Indians" book and talking about all random topics with Joyesh and a fellow traveler Sohini till the tiredness put me to sleep.
Beautiful sunsets
Zostel…
The day was finally here and the first thing I wanted to do before responding to all wishes and calls was to go to the roof and look at the sea. The vast blue water that gave me hopes that every year comes with new opportunities or ways to try something again. I had booked for a canoe tour for this day on Joyesh's suggestion. Pick-up and drop-off from Zostel, breakfast, and lunch were taken care of by the tour operator and I couldn't feel more pampered. The backwaters of Alleppey can be explored on Houseboats (boats with lavish rooms), Shikara (motorboats which charge per hour of the tour), canoe (hand rowed small boats) or on Kayaks. Houseboats and Shikara will note be able to take you on smaller canals and canoe or Kayak would be the best for these closer explorations of life around canals. Nicholas and Ann from Zostel were accompanying me in a shared canoe along with 10 more people from different countries.
Alleppey is famous for its state water transport (SWTD) services i.e. government-operated boat services to travel between places around backwaters. We were first dropped off at the SWTD station at Alleppey where we would be hitching a boat ride to a place called Kainakary. The station looked exactly like any other bus stop but besides a canal for a change. A blue boat that had interiors similar to bus appeared near the platforms and we hopped on for almost an hour-long ride to Kainakary. As our boat moved through twists and turns of canals slicing the water, a whole new world opened in front of our eyes. There were many colorful Shikaras parked on the sides waiting for customers which reminded me of my days at Kashmir. As the canals opened up to huge water bodies, we saw the lineup of houseboats. There were single storied, two-storied, ones which were simple and some with top-notch facilities with fully air-conditioned rooms were taking people around. And funny thing, people were waving at each other from their boats. I think a child in everyone was happy that day.

Beatutiful boat stations
Beautiful houseboat…. not for solo travelers 😛
After getting down at the ferry station at Kainakary, we were taken to a house nearby. Our host for the day Priya chechi had prepared hot Idli and Sambar for the breakfast. I lost count of Idlis I gobbled and they were yum. When I asked for water in my broken Malayalam sentences, she was happy to know I understand what she was speaking to them. And so, I was the unofficial translator for that day. Binni cheta was our oarsman along with two more men who would be taking us around. We hopped into these small hand rowed canoes in groups of 4 and 5.
Best staple food ever invented 😛
Chai with a view
Our ride for the day
We were to travel through 5 canals in about 4 hours of time. The journey was going to be slower, but I was sure that each moment will reveal something new. From the large lake, we entered the first canal with homes on either side. There were steps in front of each house which leads to the water. Some were catching fish and some were chopping veggies. There were people moving around in one-man fiber boats to a nearby town or for a quick grocery shopping. We moved below tiny footbridges and under the thick canopy of trees. Binni cheta pointed at some mangoes on the tree right above us. Maybe they were at hand's reach. But I was too nervous to stand and make any quick moments to disturb the balance of the boat. Sometimes I wonder how life would be here when I saw bricks, construction-soil and drinking water being transported in small boats. The other 5 travelers were busy talking to each other and Binni cheta started to make conversations with the assumption that I was fluent in Malayalam 😛 He spoke about how they travel to town every day on boats, the situations during the flood, about his experience with travelers and so on. She showed us the famous paddy fields of Kuttanad. This was one of the rarest places were the paddy agricultural land is below sea level. There were churches and schools by the side of canals and Toddy shops which were unique about the town too.

After 2 long hours of travel, the heat was unbearable and we stopped for a break and to refill energy with some light snacks, icecreams, and tender coconuts. Some more rowing rowing rowing and were finally back to where we had started. Priya chechi had prepared simple yet tasty lunch with rice, dal, sambar, raita, potato-curry, horse gram curry and a sweet-and-spicy desert made from mango. That was my first mango of this season and the food was heavenly. She reminded me of any typical relative who would serve wholeheartedly and wouldn't stop asking you for more servings until she is satisfied that you are full and about to burst 😀 A lot many in our group got fond of Pappadam and she would strike a deal that she would give pappadam, only if they agree for more servings of rice. For fish lovers, there was some homestyle fish curry too. After a tummilicious meal, we were served Sulaimani (black tea flavored with spices) and the day couldn't have been better.
Humid weather ❤ tender coconut
Traditional malabar meal… Ticket to heaven
Sulaimani
As the sky turned orange, we took our boat ride back to Alleppey with a rewind of all that we had seen in the morning. The rickshaw was ready at Alleppey station to drop us back to Zostel. My bus was scheduled to leave at 8 and there was still time in hand. Surya, another fellow traveler invited a few of us at the hostel to play frisbee near the beach. Between the endless efforts of catching frisbees and heartful laughter, we hadn't noticed the sun had gone down already. I had my one last meal at Cafe Catamaran before heading to the bus station. With a bag full of memories and an amazing day spent, it was time to head back to Bengaluru.
One last evening at Alleppey
1. Every moment happens just once. Make it worth.
2. Unplanned trips are always the best. And for the things that got missed, there is always the next time.
3. Most of the time, locals know the place better than Google.
4. Last but foremost, in any situation don't panic.

I was fortunate enough to spend time with her and witness her last performance – a benefit for @ejaf at St John The Divine Cathedral. She was obviously unwell, and I wasn't sure she could perform. But Aretha did and she raised the roof.
She sang and played magnificently, and we all wept. We were witnessing the greatest soul artist of all time. I adored her and worshipped her talent. God bless her. My condolences to all her family and friends. We shared the same birthday – and that meant so much to me.
The whole world will miss her but will always rejoice in her remarkable legacy. The Queen is dead. Long live the Queen. #RIPArethaFranklin

The chief of the British Army has attacked the "downright unacceptable" behavior of soldiers after recent allegations -- including claims of sexual assault -- raised questions over troops' conduct.
"This hasn't been a good week for the Army -- it's damaged our reputation," Chief of the General Staff Mark Carleton-Smith acknowledged in an extraordinary video statement released on Saturday.
It came hours after a report in The Sun newspaper alleged that a female soldier was sexually abused while she slept by six army members. Six soldiers have been arrested, the Press Association reported.
Separately, on Wednesday, the Army announced it had opened an investigation after a video apparently showing serving soldiers firing handguns at a picture of Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn went viral.
"Over the last few days, a series of exceptionally serious allegations have been made against soldiers currently serving in the British Army," Carleton-Smith said in the rare public intervention, adding the claims demonstrate "indiscipline that is wildly at odds with the values and the standards that represent the fabric of not just our Army, but the nation's Army."
"Not only is it downright acceptable, it's illegal," he added. "This is everyone's business. This is about who we are as professional soldiers."
The incidents are under active investigation by the police, he confirmed.
"The British soldier is known for many things -- stoicism, a sense of honor and duty, courage, a sense of humor, and an honest sense of decency." Carleton-Smith went on. "Any behavior that falls short of that high standard, we cannot and we will not tolerate."
Can't imagine why this post got no replies.
if you are sexually abused while you sleep...first question is why didn't the victim wake up..
I have never subscribed to the idiotic notion that a soldier is a big boy scout. Many people here seem to believe that nonsense.
Brigadier Nick Perry said the Army was taking the matter "extremely seriously" and would fully investigate.
"The video shows totally unacceptable behaviour that falls far below the behaviour that we expect," he said.
Many people stick a photo on a dart board. Perhaps they should be punished too.
seems the inappropriate touching if that is what it was .. was after some sports event.. I read that a it was 6 young men.. didn't mention rank and 1 staff sergent … have to say I have difficulty in belieing a staff sgt would be in volved..
Because it's not my problem.
Illiterates like AOC are your problem. People who take pride in ensuring jobs go elsewhere and think Venezuela is the way to go..
Democrats better hope Pelosi comes out on top. We've seen this all before and again with the Labour party in the 1980s with the Militant Tendency and now under Corbyn the Marxist (via Momentum, which has succeeded where the Militant Tendency failed - taking over the party from within).
Illiterates like AOC are your problem. People who take pride in ensuring jobs go elsewhere and think Venezuela is the way to go.
She and her kind are not a problem. Even Californians won't vote for that nonsense.
I'm guessing they voted for Hillary.
Did Californians not vote for Brown? That went well.
I'm guessing they voted for Hillary. Did Californians not vote for Brown? That went well.
Jerry Brown didn't have a snowball's chance in hell on the national stage. No California Democrat does.
Here's the thing, then. They'll happily vote for someone like Brown at state level - where I think we can all agree he did a huge amount of damage with his green policies. I think that would qualify as voting for [expensive] nonsense.
As far as I can see the Democrats are being run by the likes of Tlaib, Omar and Occasionally Coherent - all part of the Corbynisation strategy. Does California have anyone as loony as them?
Fret, you seem to have an idea that all Republicans are negative towards the idea of climate change and all Democrates believe in it. That is not true in this country.
In reply to Joseph I said Illiterates like AOC are your problem. People who take pride in ensuring jobs go elsewhere and think Venezuela is the way to go.
I posted a few fun facts about the Green New Deal; strangely I left out the bit about getting rid of the farting cows, but there is a link. There followed a brief discussion on California Democrats and voting habits.
We could just have easily been discussing a Republican governor if California had one. Brown's policies on forest management were a disaster waiting to happen. We've had our own version of this woolly thinking in the EU Natura 2000 directive, which led to major flooding events 10 years after implementation.
The Guardian's George Monbiot does seem to think that being a Republican is to be a denier.
It's all about money and power. Show me a Democrat or a Republican who doesn't want a piece of that.
This would be the Monbiot creature usually referred to as ,'Moonbat', by sane folk ??


After a couple of seasons off, Balmain is back and better than ever. Perhaps Olivier Rousteing needed a couple of years to recoup, rethink and try some different things. Thankfully, that's over and his return to form was a stealth one.
For his Pre-Fall 19 show, Rousteing left behind the glitz and glamour associated with his catwalk shows, trading them in for rooftops, a studio and a piece of fabric. For Pre-Fall 19, Rousteing eschewed the spotlight allowing his designs to do the talking; and boy did they.
With party season in full swing, I've been frantically googling for an outfit that echoes my mood: a mood of optimism for the new year and full on 80s glamour. Rousteing's do both.
His references to seasons past still remain, but this time one doesn't feel as if he is tirelessly churning out bestsellers, for the lack of any better ideas. This felt fresh: looking back on tried-and-tested silhouettes, with an almost romantic Weber-esque lense.
It was romantic, fun and impeccably put together; and I very much look forward to becoming that woman.

MELODY BROTHERS
"Find a group of people who challenge and inspire you, spend a lot of time with them, and it will change your life." – Amy Poehler
Melody Brothers—a writing trio consisting of Brett Scallions, Billy Harvey, and Eddie Wohl—got together for the first time in 2016, when Eddie invited Brett and Billy to his studio for a writing session. Though Brett and Billy had just met, Eddie's suspicions were spot-on: after just a few days in a room, the trio had three new songs to share. ("It's On," "New Best Friend," and "Rolling On.") Despite the undeniable chemistry, however, conflicting commitments and touring schedules forced them into a temporary hiatus shortly thereafter.
Flash forward to 2020. Lockdown. Isolation.
Life changed for everyone on the planet.
Being in the same room is how music is made…right?! Wellll… not in this case.
This time, Melody Brothers refused to let anything get in their way. The project was revving up again, and even distance proved a surmountable hurdle. With Billy in Nashville and Eddie and Brett both in California, the group decided to pursue the project virtually, via Zoom and FaceTime calls. Their mentality: "never let anyone tell you that you have to be in a room together to write or record an album." They started writing, and before you know it, they had written—and recorded—18 songs.
The age of the HOME STUDIO.
"Everything starts with a Billy riff," Brett said of their writing process. "After we establish the main riff of the song, we add more parts as needed, all while creating vocal melodies. Once we have the song arranged in Eddie's studio, I'll take it and start laying down the drums. After the drums are the way we want them, I send the drum tracks to Billy, and he starts layering his guitar parts. Then we all just keep adding what is needed - from bass to keys to hand claps - until we feel like the song is finished. Who ever has the idea just plays it."
WHO THE FUCK ARE THE MELODY BROTHERS?
Brett Scallions is best known as the original lead singer of the rock band Fuel. Brett released 4 albums with the band and sold over 5 million albums worldwide. He also toured the world singing The Doors catalog with Ray Manzarek and Robby Krieger of The Doors. Brett was quoted as saying, "We all try our parent's shoes on at some point in our lives. It's been nice to see what Jim's felt like." Other projects Brett has worked on include The X's, Circus Diablo, and World Fire Brigade. He has performed with many of the top performers in the world including Slash, Dave Navarro, Tom Morrello, Mike McCready, Dee Snider, DMC, and Glen Campbell.
"Billy Harvey is the most famous person you've never heard of." — AJ Croce.
A caffeine-addled do-it-yourselfer, Billy Harvey has navigated his career by quietly directing, editing, recording, and producing everything in sight. He's produced records for artists like Crystal Bowersox (finalist on season nine of American Idol), Bob Schneider, Pat Byrne (winner of the first series of The Voice of Ireland), Charlie Mars, and Steve Poltz, to name a few.
He has also worked steadily as a side man, accompanying the likes of Patty Griffin, Kim Richey, The Forest Rangers, and The Courtyard Hounds.
He also played guitar in the hair band FLAME, if you want a chuckle.
Los Angeles based Eddie Wohl is a five time Emmy Award winning songwriter, composer, producer & mixer, whose projects have sold over 6 million units. As an artist he was signed to Epic, Elektra, Mercury/Island and had a production deal with Roadrunner Records. Growing up on the East Coast, Wohl was in his first band at age 15 and signed to his first record deal at the age of 25. Wohl's major influences growing up included Black Sabbath, Stevie Wonder, Public Enemy and McCoy Tyner. Coming out of the NYC club/band scene he has spent many years honing his craft as a world- class songwriter and producer. In 1999 Wohl, along with his partners, launched the iconic New York based Scrap 60 Productions, which was responsible for producing such acts such as Anthrax, Ill Nino and H2O, to name a few.
His producing credits include a range of metal greats Fuel, Anthrax, Smile Empty Soul to glam punker Jesse Mallin and pop artist/American Idol judge Kara Dioguardi. Records that he's produced embody performances by Bruce Springsteen, Robby Krieger, Roger Daltrey, Chino Moreno, Jakob Dylan, Josh Homme, Chris Shiflett, Jada Pinkett Smith and Dimebag Darrell.
As a composer Wohl has received five Emmy Awards for his work on his NBC San Diego and Washington DC Olympic and news promos. Having had numerous song placements on TV, including Superbowl XLVII, The CBS Superbowl Pre-Game show, "CBS Super Bowl 50th Anniversary" spots the NFL on CBS, NBA on NBC, The Rio Olympics, The NHL, NCAA Basketball, PGA Golf on CBS and The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson.
Wohl's diverse music influences, collaborations and background allow for a unique approach to his craft.
MELODY BROTHERS IN 2022
Melody Brothers continue to write and record new music. Stay tuned for the forthcoming albums "CONCRETE" and "DESERT" later this year.

Weiler Building
921 Government Street, Victoria, British Columbia, V8W, Canada
Northwest elevation
The Weiler Building is a five-storey Romanesque brick commercial building on a corner lot on Government and Broughton Streets.
The Weiler Building is valued as Victoria's first department store. The largest timber-framed building in British Columbia at the time of its construction in 1898, this is an excellent example of the architectural traditions which suited nineteenth century large-scale retail business. As the headquarters of Victoria's most esteemed contemporary furnishers and outfitters - Weiler Brothers Home Furnishings - the prominent position on a corner lot and the considerable mass and highly mannered Romanesque detailing of this building's two street front facades are significant reflections on the prestige and economic fortitude of one of Victoria's most successful early businesses.
The aesthetic value of this building lies in its extravagant design (the work of architect Thomas Sorby); the large arched windows in the upper storeys, and picture windows on the ground floor permitted the maximum amount of daylight to enter the expansive interior and highlight the merchandise within.
Soure: City of Victoria Planning and Development Department
The character-defining elements of the Weiler Building include:
- the prominent five storey massing, and the situation on a corner lot;
- the faceted corner facade;
- the large arched wood windows on the upper storeys, and the picture windows at street level;
- the Romanesque detailing, including extensive use of arches, voussoirs, rusticated masonry, and dentils;
- the interior spatial configurations and detailing related to the original design of Thomas Sorby.

Ask Pascal Zavaro about the references and inspiration generating or regenerating his music, and he may very well joke his way out by stating a fascinated search for a musical equivalent to Terry Gilliam's Brazil. Adding that this phantasmagorical movie, with its world of poorly maintained machines and monster flex ducts, reflects a broken and heartbreaking humanity, and that his music is boosted by all the slapstick energy and bitterness.
Zavaro, too, is a master of his trade. The powerful expressive drive of his music is rooted in a clear harmonic expression that asserts itself and puts aside the somewhat fruitless heritage of Post-Serialism. Playing percussion in various Parisian orchestras - "the ideal place to get a global perspective on a piece" - was the perfect way to get acquainted with the repertoire of his fellow-composers. He heard it all: pieces he liked – or not. And he learned from practical experience. By and by, the young percussionist became a composer. His first piece, Hommage à K, premiered in 1991 and published by Billaudot, was written for marimba, an instrument on which he is a virtuoso.
We do believe him. And we're ready to follow him there.

As at press time, the issue is being deliberated upon at the green chamber.


In the 25th Anniversary Edition of Living in the Light: Follow Your Inner Guidance to Create a New Life and a New World, beloved bestselling author and New World Library cofounder Shakti Gawain addresses these questions. Living in the Light has given millions of people clear and gentle guidance to create a new way of life — one in which we listen to our intuition and rely on it as a guiding force — and in these changing times in which we live, the book's message is more important than ever. We hope you'll enjoy this short excerpt from the book.
To whatever degree you listen to and follow your intuition, you become a "creative channel" for the higher power of the universe. When you willingly follow where your creative energy leads, the higher power can come through you to manifest its creative work. When this happens, you will find yourself flowing with the energy, doing what you really want to do, and feeling the power of the universe moving through you to create or transform everything around you.
In using the words creative channel, I am not referring to the psychic process of trance channeling. Trance channeling involves a medium who goes into a trance state and allows another being to speak through him or her. When I use the term channeling, I mean being in touch with and bringing through the wisdom and creativity of your own deepest source. Being a channel is being fully and freely yourself and consciously knowing that you are a vehicle for the creativity of the universe.
Every creative genius has been a channel. Every masterwork has been created through the channeling process. Great works are not created by the personality alone. They arise from a deep inspiration on the universal level and are then expressed and brought into form through the individual personality.
A person may have great technical skill, but without the ability to connect with a deeper source, his work will be uninspiring. The difference between a technician and a channel was clearly demonstrated in the movie Amadeus. The composer Salieri knew how to write music but he didn't know how to tap into the creative source. Mozart wrote music that was both technically perfect and wonderfully inspired, and he did so easily, spontaneously, without thought or effort. From his early childhood on, music just seemed to bubble up and overflow from within him. I'm sure he had no idea how it happened and could not have explained to anyone else how to do it.
Such genius has always seemed mysterious and unexplainable, a God-given talent possessed by only a few. It seems to come and go at will — sometimes it's there, sometimes it's not. Because of this, many creative people fear their talent will suddenly disappear. They don't know how they got it so they have no idea how to recover it if it vanishes.
Creative people often function as channels in only one area of their lives (such as one of the arts, science, or business) and may have no idea how to do it in other areas of their lives. Thus, their lives can be terribly out of balance. (See the section "Highly Intuitive People" in the chapter "Trusting Intuition.") This is one reason that we often equate genius with emotional instability.
I believe we are all geniuses — each in our own unique way. We will discover the nature of our particular genius when we stop trying to conform to our own or other people's models, learn to be ourselves, and allow our natural channel to open. Through trusting and acting on our intuition, it's possible to bring our natural creative inspiration into every moment, into every area of our lives.
When I speak of a channel, I have an image of a long round pipe with energy flowing through it. It's somewhat like the pipe in a pipe organ, with the music coming through.
This channel image has three important features:It is open and unobstructed inside so that the energy can move through freely.
It is open and unobstructed inside so that the energy can move through freely.
It has a definite physical form; a structure surrounds the open space so that the energy is directed in a particular way. Without this structure, the energy would be free-floating, without any focus.
It has a power source — something that moves energy through the channel.
In a pipe organ, the power source (the organ) sends energy through the open pipes. The particular combination of open space inside each pipe and the structure — the size and shape of the pipe — causes a certain note to be sounded. The power source is the same for all the pipes and the energy moving through them is the same, but because each one is a different shape, each one makes a unique sound.
We can think of ourselves as channels similar to these pipes. We have a common power source (the universal life force), and the same creative energy flows through each of us. Our body and personality form the structure that determines the unique direction and function of each of us as a channel. It is up to us to keep our channel open and clear and to build and maintain a strong, healthy, beautiful body/personality structure as a vehicle for our creative energy. We can do this by constantly tuning in, asking where the energy wants to go, and moving with it.
A strong body/personality structure is not created by following anybody else's rules or good ideas about what you should eat, how you should exercise, or anything else. It is created primarily by trusting your intuition and learning to follow its direction. When deciding what to eat, how to exercise, or anything else, gather information from reliable sources, then check in with yourself to see what feels intuitively right for you, and do your best to follow your own inner guidance.

VIP Nogal
10 Villages
La Cueva Pintada
Playa del Inglés (Spanish: [ˈplaʝa ðel iŋˈgles], lit. "Englishman's Beach") is a sea resort in the south coast of the island of Gran Canaria. It is part of the municipality of San Bartolomé de Tirajana, and is a popular tourist attraction. The resident population was 7,515 in 2013
Playa del Inglés forms part a large sea resort zone, together with the adjacent resort towns San Agustín, Maspalomas and Sonnenland. The Maspalomas Dunes are situated south of the resort.
The area remained largely unspoiled until the 1960s when large scale tourist development changed the resort. Many of these constructions were large concrete tower blocks, however many have undergone renovation in recent years to make them more sympathetic to the surrounding area. There are a number of large shopping centres in the resort with the 'Yumbo' and 'Kasbah' being the largest.
Maspalomas (/ˌmɑːspəˈlɒməs/, Spanish: [maspaˈlomas]) is a tourist town in the south of the island of Gran Canaria, Canary Islands, stretching from Bahía Feliz in the east to Meloneras in the west, including the resort towns of San Agustín and Playa del Inglés. Maspalomas constitutes the southernmost part of the municipality of San Bartolomé de Tirajana, and of the island. Before the era of tourism, Maspalomas was the name of a hamlet in what today is San Fernando de Maspalomas. Its name may derive from that of Rodrigo Mas de Palomar, a settler and soldier from Majorca, or from Francisco Palomar, a Genoese friend of Alonso Fernandez de Lugo who purchased 87 Guanche slaves from Güímar and settled in the area.
Present-day Maspalomas is the result of an ambitious development project, organized in the form of an International Ideas Contest (opened to any member of the International Union of Architects), held in 1961 under the auspice of Alejandro del Castillo, owner and promoter of most of the space under construction. The contest was won by the French office SETAP (including the urbanist Guy Lagneau and the economist Michel Weill) and covered the 1,060 hectares (2,600 acres) and 19 kilometres (12 mi) of coast that constitute the core area of Maspalomas - Costa Canaria. The contest paved the way for a particular way of understanding "touristic" urbanism that served as model for later tourists developments in other Canary Islands.

There's Something Wrong with the Children – Movie Review (4/5)
Posted by Karina "ScreamQueen" Adelgaard | Jan 17, 2023 | Read Time 4 min.
THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE CHILDREN is a new horror movie out on VOD now. As indicated by the title, you'll get plenty of creepy kids moments. It works brilliantly, so be sure to check it out. Read our full There's Something Wrong with the Children movie review here!
THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE CHILDREN is a horror mystery featuring some very creepy kids. And yes, it does work remarkably well. Both due to the adult actors and the young ones. Also, the story works really well with wonderful nuances and social commentary.
LOVE STORIES WITH CREEPY KIDS?
Be sure to check out our "creepy kids" tag here >
It's absolutely worth checking out and with a runtime of around 90 minutes, it even has a strong and solid pace. Plus, it's from producer Jason Blum which should please many horror fans.
Continue reading our There's Something Wrong with the Children movie review below. Find it On Demand from January 17, 2023.
So deliciously creepy
The story takes place when Margaret (Alisha Wainwright) and Ben (Zach Gilford) take a weekend trip with longtime friends Ellie (Amanda Crew) and Thomas (Carlos Santos). The latter couple has two young children (Briella Guiza and David Mattle) and all four adults enjoy having kids along.
However, after a particularly strange experience during a hike, Ben begins to suspect that there's something wrong with the children. He goes straight to believing it's a supernatural thing, which you can absolutely understand as we see what he sees.
There's just the issue of his past mental issues that come into play. Nobody believes Ben and, frankly, we as viewers can't be sure what to believe at first either. Don't worry though, you'll know what's going on before the movie is over.
I also loved that the very basic decision to have kids (or not!) is a core subject. As is how you decide to be with your kids when you have made the decision to have them. Don't worry, these latter social commentary elements don't take away from anything creepy. It's just a detail that you will probably be able to relate to – both if you're someone who has kids or who has opted out of this.
The cast makes it all come together
With a story this simple – and yet with supernatural elements – the actors have to really sell the story. You need to be able to stay in this weird little universe and not be distracted by any performances that feel off.
Fortunately, There's Something Wrong with the Children has a stellar cast for this purpose.
Alisha Wainwright (Raising Dion) and Zach Gilford (The Midnight Club) work really well as the adventurous couple Margaret and Ben. They're trying to live their best life while also having some personal issues to keep in check. Meanwhile, their friends Ellie and Thomas are equally believably portrayed by Amanda Crew (Freaks) and Carlos Santos (Ghost Team One).
The latter couple is working through some marital hick-ups and needs to reconnect. All the adult relationships (romantic as well as friendships) are very natural thanks to the chemistry between all four adult actors.
And then we have the kids. Those deliciously creepy kids, who are just very normal children at first. Briella Guiza (Ambulance) plays the big sister Lucy with David Mattle (Life & Beth) as Spencer. The shift from normal and rather charming kids to dangerously creepy is elegant and efficient in that delicious horror way we love.
Watch There's Something Wrong with the Children now!
The director of There's Something Wrong with the Children is Roxanne Benjamin. You'll probably have come across her work before as she's directed various horror anthologies. These include Southbound (her debut in 2015), XX (2017), and two episodes of Creepshow (2019).
The feature film debut of Roxanne Benjamin (as writer and director) came with the 2019 genre-hybrid Body at Brighton Rock. The screenplay for There's Something Wrong with the Children comes from T.J. Cimfel and David White, who also co-wrote the 2015 horror movie Intruders (aka Shut In).
As mentioned earlier, this new horror movie is produced by Jason Blum, but other executive producers include Josh Reinhold, Jeremy Gold (Mr. Harrigan's Phone), and Chris McCumber (Nanny).
If you're wondering if this movie is for you, then the answer is a resounding yes, if creepy kids work for you. And again, kudos for getting such an awesome cast for this intriguing story!
There's Something Wrong with the Children is available on Digital and on Demand from January 17, 2023.
Director: Roxanne Benjamin
Writers: T.J. Cimfel, David White
Cast: Alisha Wainwright, Zach Gilford, Amanda Crew, Carlos Santos, Briella Guiza, David Mattle
When Margaret (Wainwright) and Ben (Gilford) take a weekend trip with longtime friends Ellie (Crew) and Thomas (Santos) and their two young children (Guiza and Mattle), Ben begins to suspect something supernatural is occurring when the kids behave strangely after disappearing into the woods overnight.

The particularity of Erwin Blumenfeld's work lies in the photographer's constant will to link assignment and artistic references. This photography pays its debt to knowledge and to art. We recognize pellmell, Renaissance painting, Impressionism, the modernity of the 1920s, Dadaism, cinema etc. It is necessary to acknowledge the successful fusion of constant references to the past and what is being created. Photographic experimentation is the photographer's other great affair. Everything that contributes to defining the originality of the "photographic" is claimed, tested and given. During the shooting, in the darkroom, and finally in the layout, the image is only a succession of "odd-jobs" between preliminary thought and "craftwork".
Creating the catalogue of a mind permanently searching for the "new" is an essential moment in the museographic project. Erwin Blumenfeld played, at the risk of overusing the expression, with the metaphor of the lens. Photography is a filter. Also, he doesn't hesitate to add screens of all kinds between the scene and the camera. Reality is only interesting when modified. This transformation, carried out from the first shot, make the photographic act a metaphor. It only grew from the experiments carried out before the war. Although the New York studio is to be, first and foremost, a place of "commercial" production, for Erwin Blumenfeld, it constitute a space where he is able to demonstrate his "talent" free from any constraints. The art director, the photographic products maker, the client himself etc, are all suspects, more or less, in limiting the creative power of the photographer. Between the image produced in the studio and the publication, very often, a gap is created. The confrontation of these two moment is to be highlighted.
The consideration of the model as a person is central to Erwin Blumenfeld's photographs. He isn't only a photographer of clothes. Feminine beauty is at the center of his work. He is one of the rare photographers of his time to dare put models on the cover who don't comply with the standards of American taste, or unknown models.

LOTRO's Upcoming Content Includes The Grey Mountains, Dragons, And Everything Dwarvish
By Jason Winter, News Editor August 16, 2018
Update 23 for The Lord of the Rings Online is in the works, and it's going to be a big hit with fans of dwarves. The Grey Mountains, the area in the northeast of Middle-earth, is the focus, and with it comes the halls of the dwarves, their people, and their enemies.
At last week's Gen Con Indy, Jean "Druidsfire" Prior of MMO Central scored an interview with Executive Producer Rob "Severlin" Ciccolini that included a wealth of information about the upcoming update. Dragons will be coming, but they won't require a raid. And naturally, there's lots and lots of dwarven lore.
After the update, there's work to be done on balancing Beornings and burglars, as well as another potential revamp to legendary items. The 64-bit client is also coming along, thanks to Standing Stone Games' "deep-down engineer," which totally sounds like a dwarf programmer.
On one final dwarf-related note: Female dwarves, which are all but absent from Tolkien's writings, are on the table as potential additions to the game, though they would have to be added "in a manner that is respectful to the story."
The interview can be found here, in both audio form and as a transcription. Or, if you'd rather just look at pretty images, LOTRO Players has a trio of videos showing off the new landscapes in all their majestic glory. For being so short, the dwarves really build big.

New Castle County vote over prevailing wage prompts Friends of Rockwood to bow out; Weiner votes to support Friends of Rockwood
New Castle County vote over prevailing wage prompts Friends of Rockwood to bow out
A citizen group who has raised thousands of dollars to help rehabilitate a conservatory at New Castle County's Rockwood Mansion say they've been forced to abandon the project after the county council voted to require the contract to be subject to the county's public bidding rules.
FACT BOX THE VOTE
Yes (6): Cartier, Diller, Hollins, Kilpatrick, Smiley, Weiner
No (7): Bell, Bullock, Powers, Reda, Sheldon, Street, Tackett
Community News By Jesse Chadderdon Posted Aug. 28, 2013 www.communitypub.com
June Zappa, president of The Friends of Rockwood, said the group would be returning $80,000 in private donations after Tuesday night's vote, saying they couldn't afford the rehab if the contractor used had to be hired under the county's prevailing wage rules.
Prevailing wage is a standard threshold paid by the county for construction and engineering jobs that advocates say is established to create a fair bidding process for local contractors.
But for the Friends of Rockwood, using prevailing wage would mean they couldn't get the best bang for their buck, making the project too expensive to complete.
"We're going to return the [money]," Zappa said following the vote. "And the $15,000 we spent for architectural fees and plans is gone. I think we're done as a friends group."
The ordinance, introduced by Councilman John Cartier (D-Brandywine East) earlier this summer, sought to explicitly grant an exception from prevailing wage rules to non-profit groups using exclusively private donations to fund projects at county facilities. The bill had been tabled through the council's early-August recess, in part because it caused some consternation in the labor community, but was brought up for a vote at the end of Tuesday night's meeting. It was defeated 7-6.
Cartier said the bill would not change any of the bidding rules in place when county funds are being used.
"This was not purely about the Friends of Rockwood," Cartier said. "This was to be a way to create a standard and a path forward for privately raised funds for projects on county property.
"I think the vote tonight definitely sent a message that wasn't entirely positive," he added. "I think this could discourage other people from stepping up and doing that type of thing for county assets."
Critics of the legislation, however, feared it could be abused, prompting groups to hire disreputable contractors that perform shoddy work, potentially putting the county at risk.
"New Castle County has a responsibility for what happens to its facilities," said Councilman Bill Bell (D-Middletown).
Antonio Prado, communications director for County Executive Tom Gordon, agreed.
"This is not just about prevailing wage," Prado said following the vote. "There are liability issues that could occur and the county executive is concerned about that."
Cartier, however, dismissed those concerns.
"There's no reason to think we couldn't draft appropriate insurance provisions," Cartier said. "There are ways to secure that liability. That wasn't insurmountable."
Zappa indicated liability concerns were likely a front for lawmakers caving to union pressures.
"We had a signed Memorandum of Understanding with the county executive and it was rescinded because of all the unions," she said. "So we'll withdraw from Rockwood and leave it to the county. God bless them."
In an interview Wednesday afternoon, Gordon said he's "not the bad guy."
"When we left [power] in 2004, the mansion and conservatory were in pristine condition," he said. "Now it's destroyed. What happened over the last eight years? Why didn't anybody pick up a paint brush?"
"Bob Weiner's energy and vision have been invaluable in bringing about better land use and transportation planning."

Miami University announced Tuesday morning Darrian Ringo is no longer a member of the team.
The Brownsburg, Ind., native started 29 games at point guard for the RedHawks last season and was a third-team All-MAC selection.
He averaged 9.6 points and 6.9 rebounds last season, his only one in Oxford after two years in junior college.
He ranked ninth in the nation with a school-record 236 assists, and only three Division I players had more than his 91 steals.
Ringo posted a double-double (10 points, 10 assists) in an overtime win against Wright State in November.
The RedHawks went 16-18 in their first season under head coach Jack Owens, a former Purdue assistant.
Earlier this offseason, Miami also lost center Darius Harper.
The Springfield native left the team after deciding to pursue a football career instead.
