In any high up industry, there are people who think they can get away with everything they do, and instead find out that they aren't so invincible. In the music industry, rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine (real name Daniel Hernandez) just happens to be one of those people who is realizing his fate will now be behind bars, possibly forever. Hernandez is currently facing a minimum of 32 years, maximum of a life sentence if convicted after being charged with several federal charges. Some of those charges include racketeering, unreported armed robbery, possession of an AR-15, drug charges stemming from sale (heroin, fentanyl, MDMA and marijuana) and involvement in two additional shootings. According to Assistant US Attorney, Michael Longyear, Hernandez was involved with Nine Trey Bloods, a violent sect of the Bloods. It was only a matter of time before the rapper's criminal acts were going to catch up to him.
Hernandez's attorney, Lance Lazzaro, strongly begged the court to instead give Hernandez bail under the condition that he surrendered his passport, paid over $1 million and be placed under house arrest. The judge however denied bail, and cited that the rapper may still be a danger to the community even if those bail conditions were met.
After last Sunday's arrest and hearing on that Monday, Lazzaro made a statement online that Rolling Stone published saying that his client is innocent and being wrongfully convicted only because of the music he creates and the image he has to have to succeed in the rap industry. "Hernandez is completely innocent of all charges being brought against him. An entertainer who portrays a 'gangster image' to promote his music does not make him a member of an enterprise," Lazzaro wrote on his social media account.
This arrest was not something that was out of the blue. Instead, this arrest came from a violation of his probation back in October, for his ongoing case of the use of a minor in a sexual performance. The judge in that case sentenced Hernandez to a four-year probation if he followed two orders: not get arrested during his time that his probation was set for and to not associate himself with any gang members. Hernandez began his rapping career in 2014 when he released several tracks and music videos such as "Scumlife," "Yokai" and "Hellsing Station." He became an Internet sensation because of his rainbow-dyed hair and rainbow-painted grills. In April of 2017, "Poles1469" was released, which raised the bar for his music career and was one of the first of his songs to receive significant views from YouTube. On Nov. 10, 2017, "Gummo" was released and eventually peaked at the No.12 spot on the US Billboard Hot 100.
The saddest part about this whole thing is that Hernandez will not be a part of his daughter's life who is only five years old. There will be more to come out in the next couple of weeks about this case and where the 22-year-old stands in the court system.

March Madness picks by which mascots would win in the octagon
Let's make picks strictly off of mascot ferocity.
By Richard Johnson@RJ_Writes Mar 14, 2018, 10:59am EDT
Share All sharing options for: March Madness picks by which mascots would win in the octagon
Let's face it, you're not going to win your bracket pool by picking on knowledge, so throw caution to the wind and pick teams my way: solely based on which mascot is the most ferocious in a mythical octagon.
You're probably thinking of an octagon sized to contain two MMA fighters. But you mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling. We've got elephants, grizzly bears, literal herds of buffalo, and an entire religious sect among our list. So take the term octagon as a figure of speech.
And when we mention mascots, we're talking the literal versions, not the plush costumes that are cute and cuddly. Also, when the physical mascot is an animal that doesn't match the team's nickname (Texas A&M, Tennessee, etc.), we'll use the literal embodiment of the nickname. Except for Miami. The Canes are represented, and that's easier than creating barometric pressure conditions inside an octagon that mimic a Category 5.
Alright, let's play this thing out.
(Editor's note: No animals were harmed in the production of this article.)
Gotta love Virginia's dude on a horse with a sword to get all the way to the Sweet 16 — particularly against regular dude in a large wildcat head repping Kansas State. I'm going to break my own rule and say that Kansas State will be represented by the dude in the head in our fictional octagon.
With the cavalier, however, I think a bull could topple that dude off the horse, and then it'd be curtains for him rather quickly. It's basically a bull fight at that point, and this guy doesn't have sufficient matador skills.

Tennessee's mascot is a dude with a musket. That's highly inefficient, as far as reloading goes. Maybe he could get past the dog mascots. But he ain't doing a damn thing against a longhorn.

And I don't think that steer beats a bull.
Perhaps the most intriguing matchup in this region is that of the Cal State Fullerton Titan and the Purdue Boilermaker in the first round. Basically, a Boilermaker is the colloquial term for a Purdue student. Purdue's a really good engineering school, but the mascot is literally a train.
You're thinking Titans are giant demigods from Greek literature, right? Well, this video explains why that size may not be as much of an advantage as you'd think.
I don't know, the train could just ram the titan 'til it falls over or something.
Our other Elite Eight entrant is Marshall, a Thundering Herd of buffalo. While one Alabama pachyderm is imposing (that's the actual mascot despite the nickname: Crimson Tide), we're talking about an entire herd here. No chance for the elephant.
I'm riding Chief Osceola, the fierce Seminole warrior mascot, all the way to the Elite Eight.
Photo by Doug Benc/Getty Images
First of all, Osceola bested many a musketeer in his day, and it took deceit by the US Army to capture him, leading to his death in prison. Native Americans actually ate buckeye nuts, which are poisonous in their raw form and would get Osceola past Ohio State in the next round.
But the party's over once Osceola meets a grizzly bear. I mean, have you seen what those things can do?
While the Jayhawk is fictional cross between a blue jay and a hawk, the name refers to Kansans of the 19th century. The bird still beats a Penn Quaker whether its real or not. The Quakers are pacifists, so they wouldn't do anything in the octagon. But running up against a pirate, the Jayhawk is no match. Clemson should lose automatically. While there are plenty of tigers in college sports, Clemson's mascot origin is literally copied from Auburn. AU of course has its own mistaken case of mascot identity because they chant "War Eagle" and an eagle swoops down from the roof of its stadium to the field before football games.
Duke gets past the Cinderella horned frogs in this bracket. The Blue Devils are actually nicknamed after a group of French soldiers.
While it might be a surprise to see TCU advance this far, consider that horned frogs do this:
At least eight species (P. asio, P. cornutum, P. coronatum, P. ditmarsi, P. hernandesi, P. orbiculare, P. solare, and P. taurus) are also able to squirt an aimed stream of blood from the corners of the eyes for a distance of up to 5 feet (1.5 m). They do this by restricting the blood flow leaving the head, thereby increasing blood pressure and rupturing tiny vessels around the eyelids. This not only confuses predators, but also the blood tastes foul to canine and feline predators.
But pirates are awesome and can take down just about anything in this bracket, especially French infantrymen, no matter the color.
And our champion? Marshall. Because I literally cannot think of anything more terrifying than a herd of buffalo attacking you.

Imagine this...a chilly October evening at Rocky Point Park in Port Moody. Couples taking their after-dinner walks with their dogs along the water, a few groups of teenagers roaming down the pier and first dates just coming out from the Boathouse, taking a romantic stroll to the end of the pier and back.
We approach the water and as we're getting ready setting up lighting, I'm freezing, shaking with anticipation, adrenalin and despite the cold weather, I'm stoked. I obviously didn't dress for the cold weather in a tight black dress, high heels and a light leather jacket. Trying to visualize the hot sandy beaches of Hawaii, I zone in on the task at hand - get in stage character for the filming of a new video for a cover song I've just recorded, Whitney Houston's You Give Good Love.
Thank you to Stars United for doing such a great job with the track and the video. I hope you enjoy my very first Glee-style video.

The housing market's recovery has been gradual and, at times, volatile. But, according to new data from Freddie Mac, most local housing markets are showing improvement. In fact, 36 of 50 states are showing an improving three-month trend and 77 of the 100 cities tracked by Freddie Mac's Multi-Indicator Market Index continue to see gains. The Index – which tracks employment, home purchase application, and delinquency data and compares it to historical norms – is further evidence that the residential real-estate market is getting back to normal. "Better employment prospects, rising home values, and increased purchase activity are all driving improvements in housing markets across the country," Freddie Mac's deputy chief economist, Len Kiefer, said. "In this month's MiMi, three more states and seven metro areas moved within range of their benchmark level of activity." On a year-over-year basis, the most improved states were Nevada, Oregon, Colorado, Florida, and Michigan. The most improved metro areas were Stockton, Detroit, Denver, Las Vegas, and Palm Bay, Florida. More here.

Family Research Council Backs Adam Hasner in Florida
By Joshua Miller
Florida Senate hopeful Adam Hasner picked up the endorsement of the Family Research Council's Action political action committee today.
Hasner, a former Majority Leader in the Florida state House, is locked in a crowded primary with former Sen. George LeMieux (R) as his top rival for the nod to take on Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson.
"Hasner is a strong conservative who will work to protect the freedom of Americans by advocating for a limited government. He is pro-life, and consistent in his support of the traditional values that are the bedrock of our society," FRC Action PAC Chairman Tony Perkins said in a statement.
Hasner, who is Jewish, said in statement that the endorsement was "a validation of my lifelong and continued defense of faith, family and the sanctity of life."
Hasner and LeMieux face two nonestablishment candidates in the primary: former Army Col. Mike McCalister and former Ruth's Chris CEO Craig Miller.
Roll Call Politics rates the Florida Senate race Leans Democratic.

Hydrogen proved to be a desirable fuel due to its low weight and high specific impulse. Also it is a highly problematic fuel. By opting for small rocket engines which Max Polyakov and Association Noosphere prepared gifts for participants may be utilized on rockets of unique sizes you avoid that problem. While model rockets could possibly be classified as toys, they aren't something that kids ought to be playing around with. Previous rockets were tested one key component and one stage at time prior to a complete test of a comprehensive automobile.
Rocket builds aren't documented by Epic. Consequently there was no need to come up with a new engine for a different booster. The issue is that EOS and Noosphere Ventures are guests of the FAI International Drone Conference the requirements of each stage is very different. Just make sure that you're on decent hosting first so you are able to eliminate that as an issue. The issue with weak engines like ion thrusters is they take a while to get up to speed. The failure leading to the explosion occurred on Sunday, and the provider is currently underway with investigations developed to figure out what went wrong that led to the incident.
The plan of the nuclear rocket is supposed to be the ultimate in reusability. The maturation of the technology needed to manage liquid hydrogen-oxygen cannot be overestimated. The development procedure is anticipated to take several decades. If you have questions, here there are more detail information. WP Rocket also has documentation that I reference throughout the manual. Creating a little rocket is also a little more realistic than creating a large, powerful one like the Falcon 9, states Haot. Strong fuel rockets are somewhat primitive and uninteresting. The sum of all of the velocity changes a spacecraft must achieve in the plan of a mission a quantity related to the quantity of fuel which must carried.


One of the most significant thing when residing in a house where there's a lot of space for development is the fact that it's easier to think about various ways on how to improve the total appearance of the house. For some reason, having a wide space inside the perimeters of your house is great since you'll be forced to thing about possible additions to enhance how your house will look like and several items for you to consider when thinking about beautifying your property is the fact that it is really possible to add some swimming pool, flower or herbal garden that will surely make your visitors impressed, and a patio where you can sit in the afternoon while drinking tea and eating various kinds of sweets. You must realize that having a pool and a garden as an addition to your house is just a troublesome as you think since aside from the fact that you have a lot of things to do just to make sure that these two stay clean while a patio just adds improvement in your area.
Beforehand, you must be able to set a certain location to build a patio and if you're unsure about it, you must not hesitate to consult an expert in this field so he will be able guide you about Houston patio covers that you will be pairing after having your patio made. Make sure that you have a background about the materials to choose from in order to construct the best patio you've ever dreamed of and you will arrive at a conclusion on which among stone, gravel, concrete, and metal should you use in order to succeed in having a new patio who won't be needing several repairs later on.
In terms of having patio, it is really great to know that you'll be able to use the patio in multiple occasions that you might held at home. Don't find thing that are really hard to find and stick for the materials that's just available around you where the contractor will suggest and once you find it better, better have it. Choosing decks and patio covers isn't just a joke but once you made it right, people will admire your place and will keep on coming.

Q: java directory permissions with AccessController.checkPermission im trying to get directory permissions via the checkPermission() method, as in the code.
private static boolean dirPermissions(String dir, String perm) {
    try {
        AccessController.checkPermission(new FilePermission(dir, perm));
        return true;
    } catch (AccessControlException e) {
        return false;
    }
}
the java (<=6) documentation for most of the relevant File class methods (e.g. canRead(), canWrite(), etc.) suggest that they are useful for file, but not directories (am i wrong here?).
im not running the code on a server, or running mutliple threads and need to save acc's between them, or doing anything tricky, its as simple as can be - a fresh eclipse install with local running jvm and code, and im accessing local directories.
however, checkPermission always throws an exception (i.e. access denied) for folders that obviously the jvm has read/write permissions to because i can manage to create folders and write to files etc.
presumably it isn't related to the local java.policy because im successfully writing to files, so i have the necessary security permissions. any ideas...?

A: Firstly you should probably be using the SecurityManager.
FilePermission copes with directories fine. You probably want to include all the files and directories included below. Use /- at the end for that. Use /* for non-recursive contained files and directories.
checkPermission will throw an exception if any frame (or rather its ProtectionDomain) of the current access control context (acc) does not have the required permission.
FilePermission has nothing to do with OS permissions.

Bark in the Park is an annual fundraiser that donates 100% of all funds received on the day to our chosen charity.
This year we will be supporting WOODROCK ANIMAL RESCUE NPO.
Woodrock is a non – profit, pro – life, rescue, rehabilitation and re-homing facility in Gauteng, South Africa.
Their motto is ACTA NON VERBA – Action not Words.
Woodrock Animal Rescue is one of the oldest independent domestic animal rescue centres in South Africa. It was founded in 1992 by Nicholas and Estelle (Stella) Meldau, whose focus, passion and drive afforded their animal rescue vision to become a reality. The rescue centre originated in the suburban area of Woodmead and Khyber Rock, hence the name Woodrock and is now based on 8.5 hectares in the beautiful Hennops River Valley, 25 minutes north from Fourways Johannesburg on the R511 Hartbeespoort Road.
Woodrock is currently in the process of raising funds to build their very own veterinary clinic, where they can medically treat and sterilize rescue animals! A clinic at Woodrock will change the lives of many rescue animals! WE WOULD LIKE TO HELP THEM REACH THIS GOAL.
All money raised at this years Bark in the Park will be donated towards the building of Woodrock Veterinary clinic.

Tim believes that America's energy production should always be trending in the direction of a cleaner tomorrow than today.
From the Chesapeake Bay to the Cumberland Gap, Virginia's great outdoors are a priceless treasure that Tim is determined to safeguard for future generations to enjoy. Tim has long been an outspoken leader in support of clean energy and policies to combat climate change. As Governor, Tim put in place the Commonwealth's first comprehensive clean energy plan. Tim believes the country that won World War II and the race to put a man on the moon should be able to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. He supports investing in renewable energy, including offshore wind and solar, which would create new jobs and make Virginia a leader in clean energy development. Tim believes that by advancing an energy strategy that moves us from carbon-heavy to low-carbon, we can reduce pollution, bolster our national security, and create American jobs that cannot be outsourced.
After hearing concerns from local communities and the Department of Defense, Tim announced his opposition to opening Virginia's coast to offshore oil and gas drilling. Tim has spoken out against offshore drilling, as it could threaten military assets in Hampton Roads as well as the environment and tourism industry.
Virginia faces a unique set of challenges because of its coastal exposure to sea level rise caused by climate change, and Tim is committed to reducing this risk. In the Senate, Tim has been a leader on efforts to combat sea level rise and flooding in Hampton Roads, which threaten readiness at local military installations and homes in the surrounding communities. Tim introduced the BUILD Resilience Act, which would spur investments in resilient infrastructure to reduce the risk of climate effects like flooding and extreme storms to communities like Hampton Roads. He has also introduced the EMBRACE Act to authorize the Department of Defense (DOD) to carry out stormwater management projects at military installations to improve resilience at the facilities while protecting waterways and stormwater impacted ecosystems, such as those that feed into the Chesapeake Bay. He has also been an advocate for protecting the Chesapeake Bay, Virginia's National Parks like Shenandoah, its National Wildlife Refuges like Chincoteague, and its truly unique places like Tangier Island.
Tim respects the role coal production has historically played in traditional coal communities in Southwest Virginia, and as Governor, he supported the construction of the state-of-the-art Virginia City Hybrid Energy Center in Wise County, one of the most advanced clean coal plants in the United States. He recognizes the sacrifice coal miners have made over a lifetime of dangerous work, and he is fighting on behalf of them in the Senate so they receive their hard-earned pensions and health benefits. Tim has supported clean coal research funding that could help revitalize Southwest Virginia's economy, and he has co-sponsored legislation to stimulate large-scale federal and private sector investment to reduce carbon pollution through advanced clean coal technologies.
Tim has also pushed for robust funding for heating assistance programs. He has continually joined colleagues of both parties to urge the President and Senate appropriators to boost funding for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) and Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP), two programs that play an important role in providing vulnerable populations and low-income households with affordable home energy.


The debt the Treasury needs to issue is expected to rise in the coming years, pressuring Treasury and other debt rates. If US Treasuries demand should soften, the rise in Treasury and corporate rates could be steeper than anticipated.
Rising rates on treasuries will, in turn, pressure corporate bond yields. Both Moody's Aaa and Baa bond yields closely track 10-year Treasury yields over the long run (see figure 1). Post-recession (starting in mid-2009), the spread between Aaa corporate bonds has averaged 1.7 percentage points, while the spread between Baa corporate bonds has averaged 2.7 percentage points. It does appear, however, that the spreads have narrowed somewhat in recent quarters.
The CBO projects the interest rate on 10-year Treasury notes to increase to 4.3 percent by the middle of 2021 before falling to an average rate of 3.7 percent between 2024 and 2028.3 If corporate spreads remain at the post-recession average, yields on Aaa bonds could rise to around 6.0 percent by 2021 and to 7.0 percent on Baa bonds. This is higher than previously seen during this expansion. Even if the spreads remained at the lower levels experienced in the first three quarters of this year—1.0 percentage point and 1.8 percentage points for Aaa and Baa, respectively—Aaa corporate yields would rise to 5.3 percent for Aaa bonds and Baa yields to 6.1 percent. That's substantially above the current rates of under 4 percent and just below 5 percent.
The rising debt-to-GDP ratio increases risks to the economy. According to the CBO, one of those risks comes from the fact that federal borrowing reduces national savings, leading to less investment, and lower productivity and wages. Perhaps more importantly, the high debt level also increases the risk of a fiscal crisis. One specific avenue by which a fiscal crisis could occur would be if investors lose their appetite for US Treasuries. As the CBO notes, this would make it impossible for the federal government to sell the securities necessary to finance operations "unless they [investors] were compensated with very high interest rates. If that occurred, interest rates on federal debt would rise suddenly and sharply relative to rates of return on other assets."4 There is some evidence that at least one group of investors—foreign investors—are indeed losing interest.
According to the most recent estimates from March 2018, foreign investors held 48 percent of debt held by the public, down from a high of 59 percent in June 2014.5 Figures 2a and 2b show growth in the foreign ownership of US debt has stalled in terms of growth in dollar value (figure 2a) and has experienced a decline relative to GDP (figure 2b). These declines are remarkable given how fast both were rising prior to 2014.
While not all foreign holders of US debt have reduced their holdings, the reductions are most pronounced with the two largest debt holders, China and Japan (figure 3).
With the waning of foreign appetite for holding US debt, the question becomes this: Will domestic purchasers be willing and able to make up the difference? And, if so, at what price? Will the CBO's projected Treasury yields be sufficient to match the amount of Treasuries the government needs to finance US government operations with willing buyers or will rates be forced higher, not only for Treasuries, but also for private bond issuances? The age of cheap money is ended. However, what remains unclear is how much more expensive borrowing will become.

You might have heard the BIG NEWS recently – BQE Software won Best Company by Region in the Comparably Awards! Yes, yes another award you say, but let me share with you why we believe this is the most important form of recognition.
In this highly evolving business landscape, the most enduring brands are built from the heart. They are raw, real and sustainable. Their foundations are stronger because they are built with the strength of the human spirit, not an ad campaign.
Take our CEO Shafat Qazi for example, born in Kashmir, a very small valley in the Himalayas. He came to this country with $700 in his pocket, sought education, and later took the risk of quitting his job (despite having a family to care for) so he could build what became BillQuick, our legacy software, by working in his garage day and night.
Quite the risk, right? This is the American Dream, and the companies that last long are those that are authentic.
Any effective leader knows his or her company's success depends upon not just a vision or product, but the people who carry out the vision and build the product day in and day out – their employees.
But what makes work culture a good one?
Different companies have different perspectives, but for BQE Software it's simple: we believe customers will never love a company until the employees love it first.
It's about hiring the best people, retaining them and instilling a high-standard yet nurturing environment that helps drive innovation, which spills over into building great products for our customers.
We have a culture where we are incredibly self critical and we don't get comfortable with our successes or wins, which allows our employees to thrive, grow and push boundaries. In a day and age where every company is selling something, we believe that an outstanding corporate culture is truly a competitive advantage that is within our control.
As the VP of Marketing, I make it a point to read many of the reviews and comments we received throughout the Comparably Award process and share with the management team because these reviews are the foundation of how dedicated to our values we remain day in and day out and how this is reflected onto our customers. It was an honor to hear the employees are just as passionate as we are regarding our culture.
We want to sincerely thank our team, you make BQE Software who it is and all of our customers for being part of the BQE Software family, where values outweigh all.
Check out the exciting news and reach out to us if you need guidance on corporate culture initiatives.
Learn more about our Comparably award by reading our press release here.
All of the winners can be see on USA Today.
The winners were determined based on a series of 50+ structured and comprehensive workplace questions in core culture categories, including: Compensation, Leadership, Professional Development, Work-Life Balance, Perks and Benefits, to name a few. There are no fees or costs associated with participating, nor is nomination required.The Comparably Awards recognize companies that excel in these areas then winners are selected from thousands of U.S. companies in each region. Rankings are derived from sentiment ratings provided by employees who anonymously rate their employers on Comparably.com throughout the year.

I wonder if this is Francis under a different name!
I did look at this but with the name it did not seem right as i was looking for frances.
Have you got the right people or just copied their ages wrong as in 1861 they are both younger than they were 10 years before?
When i saw this i did think it must be the water because they are 10 years younger.But thats what it said.
Sorry I dont understand your problem with their ages. They seem fairly consistant to me.
Drucilla dies 1877, her death seems to be reg Middlesex. Could she have been staying with a child of hers and Henry?
On the 1861 they ages were 39 and 37 or maybe i didn't have my glasses on thank you for looking.

Blog: Ten Days of Cine Excess in Sitges!
Mikey, my old buddy and co-producer/editor on Umbra, and I arrive in the picturesque coastal township of Sitges, an hour by train from Barcelona. It's the 48th Festival Internacional De Cinema Fantastic De Catalunya and our short vampire fever dream is in competition in the Brigadoon section for the Paul Naschy Award for Best Fantastic Short Film. Quite the honour!
After settling in to our quaint AirBnB apartment, in front of the festival HQ down near the marina, Mikey and I walk the short distance up to the Hotel Melia to collect our respective accreditation. Mikey gets his "industry" badge and fancy festival programme, but they've used his middle name as his surname. After a bit of a goose chase I finally collect my "guest" badge and festival bag with programme. Mikey's not happy, "Why didn't I get a bag?" He demands a new badge with his correct surname and asks for a bag, and is politely denied the bag, but is given a new badge.
The festival scene around the hotel is controlled chaos. Very much a small "Cannes". Mikey and soak up the atmosphere, and collect our comp tickets for the next day's selected screenings. Because I'm not VIP I'm not eligible to get comps for some second screenings (no The Witch for me), which is frustrating, but dems da breaks. Gonna have to make those selections count!
Mikey and return to our own HQ to shoot some pieces to camera for the Redux documentary. The sun is intense. The ice-cold San Miguel takes the edge off. After a shot of Grapefruit Danska we head to our first festival screening, a short jaunt down into the old town.
The screening is at the Brigadoon cinema, L'Escorxador. A low-budget documentary on the cult movie star Soledad Miranda, Soledad Miranda, A Flower in the Desert, who died tragically in a car crash in 1970. The doco focuses on an American woman who has made it her life's passion to document the life and career of Miranda. She created soledadmiranda.com and has spent much of her adult life collating photos and memorabilia associated with Jess Franco's muse. It's a strange documentary, partially fascinating, but very uneven in style and focus, with indulgent direction. Although the core subject matter, Miranda, was so alluring, it was frustrating that the none of the Spanish language had English subtitles. The reality of where we were was made brutally apparent. We will need to pay heed to what movies we choose to watch. Any movie not in English will only have subs in Catalyan.
L'Escorxador cinema is not a cinema. It's a former abattoir that has been converted into an arts space, and a makeshift cinema has been set up for the Brigadoon section of the festival. The seats were very uncomfortable. Mikey and I abandoned watching the subsequent screening of Franco's Vampyros Lesbos, partially due to the hard seats, but also because it would not have English subs. I'd seen the movie before anyway.
After an amusing dinner down on the marina promenade at an Italian pizza joint, where the staff spent the entire time trying to decide how to write up a menu board, we caught a cab back into the old town to the Retiro cinema to see the hotly anticipated US remake of cult French extremist horror Martyrs. It was a packed cinema of highly enthusiastic locals. The movie was not as bad as I thought it might be, but it smacked of all the Hollywood compromises I suspected it would fall prey to. The worst being the ending. The Goetz brothers, who directed, had fashioned it into a revenge flick. The original is a revenge flick too, but only in the first half. Much of the original's uber-brutal intensity had been homogenized. The performance of the Lucie character was the movie's best element. The score was heavy-handed, and the performance of Anna failed to convince. And the flaying was half-arsed. Still, the audience cheered and clapped on numerous occasions. They seemed to relish the contrivances the Goetz brothers threw at them. Mikey and I weren't sold. Mikey hasn't seen the original, he's not the horrorphile I am, but he understood the trappings the remake had tripped on.
As we hadn't been issued with invitations to the Opening Night party, which was just around the corner from us, Mikey and I decided we'd have an early night. It was 1am.
Mikey and I wander around the marina trying to find a cafe open for coffee. It's only 9am. We're in Spain. What are we thinking?! We end up at the festival kiosk up outside Hotel Melia. Thank God for cafe con leche and jamon baguette.
Next up, securing tickets for Monday's screening selection. Then it's back to our pad to do a little doco housekeeping and blog yesterday's activities. There's a message from Richard Stanley, who arrived last night and is staying in Melia. He's keen to meet up for a drink. There is a screening of the Lost Soul documentary followed by a Q&A with Richard, so I leave a message for him with the hotel concierge saying we will endeavour to rendezvous straight after the Q&A.
Mikey and arrive at the Prado cinema just as everyone is spilling out from the Lost Soul screening. There is a huge queue for the next screening. I spot Richard and there is a brief scurry as I try to intercept him before he is whisked away by his festival public relations agent. Mikey and I find him in the adjacent cafe courtyard with his pr. We join them for a drink as they wait for a very slow lunch service. Richard waxes lyrical and wonders where is Coca-Cola is, while Mikey and nurse a couple of Moritz. Richard is in fine form with plenty of wry asides. Their lunch finally arrives, and so we leave them to dine.
We walk a short distance to the Retiro cinema and meet up with Ursula Dabrowsky, the star of Inner Demon, Sarah Jeavons, and Gudmond, a entrepreneur friend of Ursula's. The five of us have photos in front of the Sitges banner and Ursula spots Mexican director Isaac Ezban in the queue. His second feature The Similars is screening, which is what we have come to Retiro to see. Ursula and I still fondly remember our amazement after seeing Ezban's short Nasty Stuff at A Night Of Horror Film Festival several years earlier.
We squeeze into a cinema booth. Sarah takes a selfie which causes much of the audience to assume we are all actors in the movie. Ezban introduces the movie, makes reference to his crazy Aussie friends, and we're thrown into the monochromatic Twilight Zone identity nightmare that is The Similars. A very stylistic excursion that seems to be plucked from the same oneiric universe as Ezban's first feature The Incident.
Following the screening we all head directly to the Brigadoon for the screening of the short films in competition for the Paul Naschy Award, which includes Umbra! There is a huge queue, which is crazy considering how tiny the cinema space is. Thankfully, Mikey and I are guests and are ushered in ahead of the queue, but unfortunately Ursula, Sarah, and Gudmond aren't able to get in.
I am the only director who has a translater. I keep my intro short and sweet. Umbra screens second. The crowd clap wildly after it. My nerves are settled. The film sounded great, perhaps a little dark. The other shorts are a real mix. A couple of long self-indulgent pieces, and one black and white surrealist film called Horseface which Mikey and I think is the award contender.
Afterward we re-connect with Ursula, Sarah, and Gudmond, who have been kind enough to hang around. We head into the old town to find food and booze. The streets are alive with zombies and families. It's a Sitgesituation. Ursula is determined to find smokes. We touch base with Isaac, who invites us to join him at a bar called Nirvana where other festival folk are hanging, so we head off into the night.
The promenade leading to the port is a hive of activity. At Nirvana I chew Isaac's ear, and he introduces me to author and shorts programmer for Fantastic Fest, Kier-La Janisse, and chatting to her is FrightFest shorts programmer, Shelagh Rowan-Legg. Wahey! How funny, one who rejected Umbra and one who selected it. We talk about the crazy world of festivals. Later I bump into John Fallon, whose feature The Shelter is screening. G&Ts continue to make the rounds. Thankfully our pad is only a short stumble from the bar.

Phew! 2017 is gone. It is hugely relieving to bid the year goodbye. Many will agree that this was the most turbulent year in our country's history.
As the year fades away into oblivion, there are things that must equally slither away with it.
No offence intended, but if thus far you haven't interrogated how many of your 2017 resolutions you attained, please don't even draft a new list for 2018. First attend to the unfinished business with 2017.
I hear that a new year is like a new tree but with the same monkeys.
Men who borrow money from their girlfriends must stop this unmanly habit. Male chauvinism aside, a man worth the salt in his loins should ooze dough all the time, shouldn't he?
If you are the broke bloke who can't afford to meet his own needs, leave alone to sustain his squeeze, celibacy should be your new pants in 2018. It may just do you some good, and save you from the embarrassment.
Then there are those folks, mostly men, who lie about their net worth. Does lying about your fortunes make you any better beyond massaging your ego?
And by the way, does it still stroke a woman's romantic cords to take her on long-haul trips in a borrowed ride? Monsieur, if you use matatus like the rest of us, please use those with grace.
It doesn't hurt to be humble. But it is sure costly when your love interest discovers that you are a hopeless city vagabond.
If you are one of those girlfriends who kick up temper tantrums badgering your boyfriend for no godly reason, humanity would fare better without your hopelessly fragile temperament.
If you complain about your beau's choice of cologne, you find his sense of style dull and think his neighbourhood is not cool, please be kind and look for a Mongolian boyfriend in 2018.
Do you ever go under on your date on the date of your date? Ignore the pun and answer the question. In all honesty, why would you make someone travel all the way from Nakuru to Nairobi only to stand them up?
Whatever reasons you invent for failing your date are flimsy. Be adult enough in 2018.
For slay queens, you have received enough beatings this year. So I will spare you this once. But you can upgrade in 2018. Acquire some sophistication. This way, you will be worth more than the laughing stocks you are.
Have you ever been at a restaurant with your date then another good-for-nothing dude or chick kept glancing your way? With lustful eyes, obviously?
Chick, dude, why can't you mind the business at your table? It's an insult to your date to feed your eyes with the delights of other women and juicy men passing by while seated next to your date.
We have done enough politicking in 2017. We have fought, scoffed at another and torn down the fabric of our national unity. In this new year, and as we continue to push for justice for all, please let's exercise political tolerance, for once.
Despite the bitterness we may harbour inside our hearts, let's all gather the pieces and rebuild this country. Happy 2018!!

Buksha, I. F., Buksha, M. I., & Pyvovar, T. S. (2019). Data representativity assessment for monitoring of Ukrainian forests at various permanent plot densities. Forestry and Forest Melioration, (134), 66-77. https://doi.org/10.33220/1026-3365.134.2019.66
Forest condition monitoring in Ukraine was initiated in the late 1990s as a part of the URIFFM research activities by methods harmonized with the UN-ECE ICP Forest I level methodology. Since 2000, forest condition monitoring has been conducted at the national level. It is an integral part of the state environmental monitoring system of Ukraine and is also ensured by Ukraine's international obligations. According to the decision of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine dated 25.04.2013, it is necessary to optimize the environmental monitoring networks.
The aim of the study was to conduct a comparative analysis of the monitoring results for the full and sparse grids and to assess the level of representativeness of the sparse grid for the forest condition monitoring in Ukraine.
The data source was Ukrainian forest monitoring database with plots' coordinates and survey results for years 2013 and 2015.
The existing forest monitoring grid (5 × 5 km, full grid) covers all administrative regions of Ukraine. By means of Q-GIS a sparse grid (15 × 15 km) was designed as a subsample of the full grid in Ukraine.
We compared the distribution of monitoring plots by forest condition types and tree species generally for Ukraine, as well as by natural zones by means of the χ2 method for both grids, and with the data of the forest fund database of Ukraine as of 2011. The χ2 method evaluated the coverage of areas, the tree species representation and the distribution of sample trees by standard defoliation classes (0 class (healthy trees, 0–10% defoliation), 1 class (11–25%), 2 class (26–60%), 3 class (61–99%), 4 class (100%)) for both grids.
The I level forest monitoring grid covers all natural zones in Ukraine in proportion to the forested area. The full grid consists of 1,457 plots; the sparse grid includes 383 of them. Both grids cover 20 types of forest site conditions, the distribution of tree species does not significantly differ. At the same time, the total number of the monitoring plots, and therefore, actual expenditures, are reduced by more than 50%.
Both grids are representative of the Forest Steppe and Polissia (Forests) zones but are not representative for other natural zones (Steppe, Carpathian, and Crimea).
At the full grid 33,773 sample trees of 58 tree species are estimated annually. As for the sparse grid, the number of trees will be reduced to 8,890 (37 tree species) there. The 15 most represented species make 96.6% of all sample trees. The representation of tree species in the sparse grid is not significantly different from that in the full one.
Comparisons of tree species distribution by standard defoliation classes and age groups by the χ2 method showed that the sparse grid does not significantly differ from the full one for these groups (except for the beech tree). The reporting, which will be provided on the basis of monitoring data on the sparse grid, will accurately reflect the general condition of forests in Ukraine.
We found that the average defoliation values of most tree species and groups in the sparse grid were not significantly different from the full one (p = 0.05) (except Qurcus robur and Q. petrea, Fagus sylvatica, Abies alba and Robinia pseudoacacia). As the average defoliation is important in studying the dynamics, when implementing the sparse grid, the analysis will be performed for the plots which it includes only, and, accordingly, the differences (between the full and sparse grids) will not affect trends.
Designed sparse I level forest monitoring grid (15 × 15 km) as a subsample of the full grid does not significantly differ from the latter in terms of its coverage of the natural zones, forest condition types and tree species composition. Observations at the sparse grid enable estimating the average defoliation rate, as well as standard reports on the distribution of sample trees by defoliation classes at the national level. The sparse grid usage allows reducing the actual cost of forest monitoring by more than 50%. The proposed sparse grid of monitoring plots can be used to optimize the density of forest monitoring grid currently applied in Ukraine. However, when taking a final decision on optimization, experts should bear in mind that the forest monitoring data in sparse grid is not representative for the Steppe, Carpathians and Mountain Crimea zones, and is totally representative for Forest-Steppe and Polissia. Therefore, when optimizing forest monitoring in the Steppe, Carpathians and Mountain Crimea natural zones it is recommended to keep the already existed density of monitoring plots.

Q: Issue with generics, interfaces, and casting I recently added an interface to some custom user controls I have implemented. The interface is pretty basic. It has one method that supports chaining:
Public Interface IMyInterface(Of T As WebControl)
    Function DoSomething() As T
End Interface

The implementations are also pretty basic:
Public Class MyCustomControl
    Inherits CompositeControl
    Implements IMyInterface(Of MyCustomControl)

Public Function DoSomething() As MyCustomControl _
    Implements IMyInterface(Of MyCustomControl).DoSomething
    ' do stuff

    Return Me
End Class

Everything works fine up to this point. The issues arise when I attempt to loop over a collection of controls that all implement the IMyInterface interface, like so:
Dim myList = New List(Of IMyInterface(Of WebControl))

myList.Add(someCustomControl)

myList.ForEach(Sub(i) i.DoSomething())

someCustomControl is a MyCustomControl which implements IMyInterface(Of MyCustomControl) instead of IMyInterface(Of WebControl).
I am getting this error on the second line (where I try to add someCustomControl):

Option Strict On disallows implicit conversions from 'MyCustomControl' to 'IMyInterface(Of WebControl)'.

Is there any way to get around this error? I am close to having it working but I do not know enough about generics to get beyond this point.

A: Covariance is a language feature that was introduced in VS 2010, and solves your problem. You need to define your generic such that the type T has the Out keyword in front of it:

Public Interface IMyInterface(Of Out T As WebControl)
    Function DoSomething() As T
End Interface

When you use the Out keyword, you are using covariance. It allows generics of a more derived type to be used in place of a generic with the base type. So in your case it will allow a IMyInterface(Of MyCustomControl)) object in places where the code would normally expect IMyInterface(Of WebControl)), such as your for loop.
Note that covariance has a restriction. The covariant type T can only be used as a function return value, and not as a parameter into a function (or sub). For example, if the DoSomething signature in IMyInterface looked like this the compiler would complain:
' Here the type T is used as an input param - compiler error
Sub DoSomething(ByVal sampleArg As T)

Given your chaining scenario, I don't think the above restriction is a problem.
More Info at MSDN:

*

*Covariance and Contravariance

*Creating Variant Generic Interfaces

A: I don't know what your function DoSomething does, but I try assigning the instance's CssClass in there for testing purpose.
Declare the interface as follows:
Public Interface IMyInterface(Of Out T As WebControl)
    Function DoSomething() As T
End Interface

Notice the Out T parameter.
Create 2 controls that implement the interface:
Public Class MyCustomControl1
    Inherits CompositeControl
    Implements IMyInterface(Of MyCustomControl1)

    Public Function DoSomething() As MyCustomControl1 Implements IMyInterface(Of MyCustomControl1).DoSomething
        ' do stuff
        Me.CssClass = "XXX"
        Return Me
    End Function

End Class

Public Class MyCustomControl2
    Inherits CompositeControl
    Implements IMyInterface(Of MyCustomControl2)

    Public Function DoSomething() As MyCustomControl2 Implements IMyInterface(Of MyCustomControl2).DoSomething
        ' do stuff
        Me.CssClass = "YYY"
        Return Me
    End Function

End Class

On a test page's PageLoad event:
Dim someCustomControl As New MyCustomControl1
Dim someCustomControl2 As New MyCustomControl2

Dim myList = New List(Of IMyInterface(Of WebControl))

myList.Add(someCustomControl)
myList.Add(someCustomControl2)

myList.ForEach(Sub(i) Literal1.Text &= i.DoSomething.CssClass & "<br />")

The result is, the CssClass property of both someCustomControl & someCustomControl2 are set to the respective values.
This shows that the interface function DoSomething was successfully called and the instance changed.

A: You will need to cast the object before adding it:
myList.Add(CType(someCustomControl, IMyInterface(Of WebControl)))

You may also want to concider making the interface not generic and your "DoWork" method return type as the interface itself.
Public Interface IMyInterface
    Function DoSomething() As IMyInterface
End Interface

When you have to specify the type in the interface definition it kind of takes away from the power of interfaces (not having to know about the implementation).


Michael McDonald will release Wide Open, his first studio album in over nine years, on September 15th via BMG. The LP will feature collaborations with guitarist-singer Warren Haynes (Allman Brothers Band, Gov't Mule), guitarist Robben Ford, bassist Marcus Miller and saxophonist Branford Marsalis.
Wide Open – which follows a trio R&B/soul cover LPs for Motown, the most recent being 2008's Soul Speak – marks the singer-songwriter's first set of original material in 17 years. McDonald wrote Wide Open over several years and recorded the tracks at his Nashville studio with drummer Shannon Forrest (Faith Hill, Blake Shelton, Tim McGraw, Toto) and a crew of the city's session players.
McDonald will promote the album with a massive U.S. tour launching June 10th in Lincoln, California. The trek's first leg stretches throughout the summer and concludes August 20th; following a September 15th slot at the Kaaboo Festival, the trek will resume October 13th and conclude November 17th in Los Angeles.
The former Doobie Brothers frontman and Steely Dan collaborator – known for his distinctive, ultra-smooth vocal style, which famously enraged Paul Rudd's character in 2005's The 40-Year-Old Virgin – will celebrate the LP with a performance on PBS' Soundstage, scheduled for this fall.
A younger generation of artists have embraced McDonald's music in recent years, leading a groundswell of unexpected collaborations. Virtuoso bassist Thundercat recruited the singer (and Kenny Loggins) to co-write "Show You the Way," a track on his 2017 LP, Drunk, which they performed together at last month's Coachella Festival. They also performed the 1978 Doobie Brothers hit "What a Fool Believes" last year at the Hollywood Bowl.
