Imps fans enjoy biggest day in club's FA Cup history against Arsenal
Thousands of fans made the journey to north London for the biggest day in Lincoln City's history
Elaine Davies
Lincoln City fans in their thousands left the Emiriates Stadium brimming with pride at the Imps' FA Cup run, despite seeing the side suffer a 5-0 defeat to Arsenal.
Danny Cowley's men put in an outstanding performance against the Gunners for the majority of the first half, before a deflected effort by Theo Walcott broke the deadlock in added time - and Arsenal showed their class in the second half.
It was the biggest day so far in the club's history. And thousands of fans descended on North London - and gathered at a big screen at Sincil Bank keen to be a part of the spectacle.

And despite the defeat, many took solace in the fact that City had already achieved what no non-league side had accomplished in 103 years by reaching the quarter-finals.
Lincoln City press ahead with plans for new stadium
Plus, the Imps are currently six points clear at the top of their league – and still have a chance of reaching Wembley for the first time ever this season in the FA Trophy.
David Martin, from Lincoln, speaking outside the Emirates at the end of the game, said: "What an amazing day! 9,000 Imps converging on one of the best stadiums in the world and against one of the top Premier clubs. We also had so much support outside the stadium, Imps fans who sadly weren't able to be there and millions of neutrals worldwide. Probably the greatest following ever for one side in this prestigious competition.
"Arriving in the ground after a couple of drinks in the Faltering Fullback, we found ourselves facing the challenge of a virtual full strength Arsenal side oozing with quality and bruised by their humiliating defeat against Bayern Munich and recent Premier League performances, they simply have to win the FA Cup.

"We matched them in the first half, had a great opportunity created for himself by Nathan Arnold but conceded in the 46th minute and went in one down at the break, slightly flattering to our illustrious opponents.
"Second half, they simply showed their class, the class they had showed in the 3rd round winning 5-0 away at Southampton. We were beaten but were an amazing credit to our level of football.

"And so our journey ends in this FA Cup. A journey that I am immensely proud of and that has taken all Imps through amazing emotions and drama.
"However, under Danny and Nicky, this journey is only just beginning. By the time we're through spring, I sense that we'll all have witnessed more experiences that reaffirm the great pride we all have in our beloved Imps. Thanks lads for creating this amazing voyage to outer space"
John Daulton, from Lincoln, said: "I'm extremely proud of what this bunch of players has achieved. I knew we had appointed a special management team back in July, but to come so far in such a short space of time is just incredible. I'm a very proud fan.

Andy South, also of Lincoln, added: "We were the better team in the first half, but we just couldn't put any chances away. Second half, Arsenal just turned on their class and did the job. Alan Power brought a cracking save out of Petr Cech, whilst Rhead wasn't really in it today. Why didn't Marriott start or come on earlier?
And Hugh Johnson, of Sleaford, was left wondering about what might have been. "If we had gone it at half-time still level or even ahead, it could have been a different story. In the end Arsenal were just too good, but five goals flattered them a bit - we didn't deserve to lose by that many, he said.
Mark Davies, 28, from Lincoln, who watched the match on the big screen at Sincil Bank, said: "I am gutted but at the end of the day Arsenal put out their full first side squad, so the fact that they have got this far is worth a lot.
"I am gutted but at the end of the day Arsenal put out their full first side squad, so the fact that they have got this far is worth a lot. They have done the city proud.
Steve Hendick, from Lincoln, was also watching at Sincil Bank. The 41-year-old said: "We are so proud of them for all they have done.
"Getting to where they have got to is amazing. I am a bit disappointed they lost but it was expected. It took Arsenal more than 45 minutes to score against Lincoln, that is not a top performance from them."

"Lincoln City are playing York in the FA Trophy and they [York] are struggling so we are in with a shot of winning that - we are still going to Wembley."
Gerrard Fox, 43, said: "It's fantastic they have got this far - I would like to think they can get through to the final of the FA Trophy. Unfortunately they got tired in the second half today."
Kelly Thacker, 28, was also disappointed the Imps were knocked out.
She said: "They have done really well, but I would have liked to see them get one goal for us."

SCHAUMBURG, IL – As one of the world's leading suppliers of metal decorating ink for 2-piece cans and flat sheet metal printing, INX International Ink Co. continues to pave the way by developing products and solutions that exceed marketplace demands. Such was the case for Monobloc decorators, who had the opportunity to see the new INXSpec™ Brand Color Perfection System in action at Cannex in China.

The first step of Initial Color Measurement begins with matching the customer's standard and creating color data to generate a formula. Once completed, the Formulate & Dispense stage is where color data is saved and dispensed, blended and proofed in 50-100 gram amounts via an AccuBlend™ dispensing system. The Mix & Decorate mode involves verifies the color shade and draw down matches to the formula, and the final stage confirms the color match and allows for production to begin.
INXSpec works with MDO Base System thermoset impact extruded metal decorating inks, which offer significant benefits including short dwell times and improved transfer, ink flow and scratch resistance. Available in eight base colors, they also have a wide range of secondary and permanent colors.

Photo of the day: Oriental Pearl Tower Space Module
By Josh Feola September 10, 2017
Home > Photos > Photo of the day: Oriental Pearl Tower Space Module
We'll conclude this week's photo series of weird theme parks with a snapshot from the top of the Oriental Pearl Tower. When construction on this bad boy finished in 1994 it was the tallest structure in China, and held that title until 2007, when the nearby Shanghai World Financial Center went up. Now they're both dwarfed by the new kid on the block, Shanghai Tower, and the Pudong skyline in general is kind of an indistinguishable gestalt of LED-lit skyward stretch.
But the Oriental Pearl Tower kickstarted that whole Pudong development boom, and still serves as an architectural mascot for Shanghai in the 21st century, though it particularly embodies the bold aspirational spirit of China in the '90s. Today it's a tourist magnet. At the top tier, ticket-wise, you can enter the upper-most pearl, which is called the "Space Module" and features an exhibition of strung-up astronauts and mock satellites.
The exhibit feels a little anachronistic today, sagging with age as higher buildings go up around it. Not unlike the failed American Dream Park on the edge of the city, the view from the top of the Pearl Tower feels less like a vertical leap into the future and more like a benchmark for how quickly China has surpassed some of the development goals it's set for itself over the last several decades.

A rare 1943 copper penny is expected to be sold at an auction by Heritage Auctions on Sunday for at least $170,000.
ORLANDO, Fla. — Don Lutes Jr. kept the 1943 copper penny he stumbled upon in his high school cafeteria seven decades ago in a safe behind a wall in his Massachusetts home.
All US pennies were supposed to be made of zinc-coated steel that year to conserve the copper needed for wartime essentials like shell casings and telephone wire, according to Heritage Auctions, a Dallas-based auction house. But a small number of copper pennies were created by mistake. Only a few of them exist today, making them special to coin collectors.
Lutes knew his coin was rare and held on to it. But as his health declined last year, Lutes decided to sell the coin because," he wanted to make sure it went to a good home," said Peter Karpenski, a friend and fellow coin collector.
Lutes' prized possession fetched a pretty penny — $204,000 — after a live auction Thursday at the Florida United Numismatics convention in Orlando, Florida. Heritage Auctions, which oversaw the sale, estimated the coin was worth at least $170,000.
The top bid after a two-week online auction had been $130,000, according to Heritage Auctions.
"What makes this so exciting is that it's the only time ever in history when the discovery coin for this piece has been available for sale. In other words, this was the first one that was ever found," said Sarah Miller, Director of Numismatics for Heritage Auctions' New York office.
Around the end of 1942, a small number of bronze planchets — a plain metal disk that is stamped as a coin — got caught in the trap doors of the mobile tote bins used to feed the blanks into the Mint's coin presses, according to Heritage Auctions. Those planchets went unnoticed when the bins were refilled with zinc-coated steel planchets in 1943, Heritage Auctions said.
"They eventually became dislodged and were fed into the coin press, along with the wartime steel blanks. The few resulting copper cents were lost in the flood of millions of steel cents struck in 1943 and escaped detection by the Mint's quality control measures," according to Heritage Auctions.
Miller said 10 to 15 of the 1943 copper pennies exist today.
Lutes set his 1943 copper penny aside to study it later when he found it in a bundle of change in the Pittsfield High School cafeteria in 1947.
A US Army veteran, he would amass some 50,000 coins by the 1970s when he retired from the family manufacturing business, according to Karpenski. Lutes died in September 2018 at the age of 87, according to Miller.
The Pittsfield resident was a quiet man with a small circle of friends that included fellow members of the coin and genealogy clubs he belonged to. A widower, he volunteered for decades at Berkshire Athenaeum, Pittsfield's public library, according to Karpenski, who owns a coin store in Pittsfield.
The library named a volunteer of the year award after him, according to Karpenski.
And the library meant just as much to Lutes.
Lutes wanted the proceeds from the sale of his prized penny to go to the library, Miller said.

Desire, disgust, maternity and monstrosity: Ariana Harwicz, Feebleminded
Translated from the Spanish by Annie McDermott and Carolina Orloff (Charco Press, 2019)
Ariana Harwicz was longlisted for the 2018 Man Booker International Prize for her first novel Die, My Love (translated by Sarah Moses and Carolina Orloff for Charco Press), a ferocious account of a woman rejecting stereotypes of domesticity and maternity. Feebleminded reprises similar themes, depicting non-conformist women who reject traditional relationships, wrestle with the everyday, stagger at the edge of reason, and are hurtling towards a violent climax. Harwicz is an extremely talented writer, and I was fortunate to meet her during her tour to promote Feebleminded, so shall include in my discussion some of the things I learnt there (for a full review of the launch event I attended, you can read Jackie's write-up).

Feebleminded is a turbulent voyage that lurches from the banality of everyday country life to the abjection of monstrous and potentially murderous relationships. The blurb of Die, My Love claimed that it is not a question of whether a breaking point will be reached, but when, and how violent a form it will take, this is equally (perhaps even more?) true of Feebleminded. The narrative lunges towards a cliff edge, and pulls back only to run headlong at it again, as Harwicz describes in Hotel magazine: "There is a moment in which you think you are going to be saved, a moment of relief, and immediately after comes the moment of extreme tension where no doubt that bullet, that kiss, that caress, that sexual act, will turn into the bullet that is going to kill you." Obsession and deliverance are blurred in Feebleminded, as are love and violence ("kissing was a steady advance, knife raised high"), all detonating in my favourite line: "I raised the machete with all my love, with all my dying heart." Such contrasts abound: love is perversion, tenderness is violence, lucidity is madness, and the basic premise rests on the following question: could a person want something so badly they destroy it?
The narrator and her mother live in a chaotic household in the countryside, a "women's den" from which the mother rarely emerges, and the daughter only to go to a mundane job in a clothing store or meet her lover (presumably they also occasionally go out on the kind of debauched carousal that led to the mother conceiving her daughter and the daughter meeting her lover, but the how and why of encounters are dispensed with: Harwicz resolutely omits superfluous detail). The women are constantly at loggerheads with one another but cannot exist apart; whether by choice, fate or circumstance they are bound together.
While there are similarities in subject matter between Die, My Love and Feebleminded, they are nonetheless very distinct stories. The press release description of Feebleminded as the second instalment of an "involuntary trilogy" that began with Die, My Love (and will be concluded with Precocious in 2020 or 2021) led me to spend an inordinate amount of time developing conspiracy theories about how one of the characters in Feebleminded might be an older version of the narrator of Die, My Love – but it turns out I had it all wrong. Harwicz described the trilogy as more like a musical suite, with sonatas that repeat the same refrain but each have their own separate identity, and when she read aloud this musicality became evident. Rather than the characters, the themes they represent are the connecting thread between the stories, and the deliberate absence of any character names locks them in their roles as "wife", "husband", "lover", "mother-in-law" and so on, to better explore those tropes.
Common to the first two instalments of this "involuntary trilogy" are rebellious anti-heroines who represent the antithesis of a maternal instinct, and although this is mostly depicted in violent terms, we are offered sporadic glimpses of the human misery that engenders it. In Feebleminded, the narrator knows that her mother almost tried to abort her, and that she "lowered" rather than raised her, and the narrative depicts a carnal, almost cannibalistic relationship between the two women. In both books, the narrator is obsessed with a married man – one has a child, the other is expecting one – and so both are bound by obligations elsewhere. Love is all-consuming (joy "creeps up through my body like an illness"), desire is animalistic, bodies are abject and responsibility is an encumbrance: the women in Harwicz's narrative universe are "in the prime of life and in freefall" (Die, My Love). The prose is sparse and violent, but rhythmic, viscerally poetic, and full of striking images which are rendered beautifully in the translation, such as the mother's recognition of her failings ("I should have given you a proper education, stopped you from sticking your fingers into your shell and pulling out the slug") and the daughter's anticipation of meeting her lover ("Here he comes. He's getting closer. And it's like letting go of heavy suitcases after a long journey, watching my fingers throb").
The dialogues in Feebleminded are also brilliantly translated: it is not always clear from the punctuation who is talking, and this is a deliberately destabilising technique – but each woman has a distinct voice, and these come across in the translation. In fact the dialogues are very funny, violence and humour colliding in the mother and daughter's apparent ignorance of how hilarious their interactions are (look out for the mother describing an "unprepossessing" man who just might have had the nefarious intention of raping her, hacking her to bits, and leaving her dismembered body in a bin bag by the roadside, and the daughter questioning the accuracy of the mother's exaggerated "son of uncountable whores" curse until she modifies it to the rather less excessive "son of a bitch").
Neither Die, My Love nor Feebleminded is what you'd call an "easy read"; they challenge and subvert, revel in ambiguity, and cannot be easily categorised. But why should we want to categorise them? Writing does not have to be a product of the author's geographical origins, or fit into neat descriptions of being "about" a particular subject. Even if both texts deal with madness (both narrators are sent away for psychological treatment: the narrator of Die, My Love is sent to a sanitorium by her husband, and in Feebleminded the narrator notes that she has only ever visited cities for medical appointments and electroshocks), they are not about "madwomen": if these women disrupt reality and society – in their language, their passions, their abjection and their actions – then they are simply breaking through a veneer of "normality" that masks the madness and disruption of reality and society themselves. Both Die, My Love and Feebleminded are subversive, electrifying, and highly original, and the closest I could come to defining these books is that they are a sublime, savage explosion via literature of all that women are not allowed to be in reality.

terrible herbst casino
The best thing about my herbst casino is that the herbs come with a glass of wine. That's the best part.
I mean, there's no way the herbst casino could possibly be good. It's just awful. But it's the best it can be, because herbst casino is an anti-dopamine drug. This is a drug we all take to help with depression, but it also helps to prevent the blues and improve your mood if you're prone to them. It's also good for insomnia, although it doesn't stop you having those bad dreams.
I have an insomnia drug of my own called zolpidem, and Ive only had it about a month. In fact, Ive only had it once, and that was because I was having bad nightmares that night. The last time I took zolpidem was about a year ago, and it messed up my entire sleep cycle. Now, with herbst casino, it will only make me more tired. Which is what I would rather have.
The herbst casino games are the worst games Ive ever played. I mean, this game is just so terrible you would think it was the worst game they made. The worst. I mean, look at the level of detail they put into the game, which is like nothing Ive ever seen. They made this game look like the game from Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi–the game from the game in the Star Wars movie.
The level of detail is not even something that I would put into a game. I mean, they might have a point that this game is the only game that even looks like Star Wars in the first place. The game looks like it was made by a big company. But the fact that this game would look like a game from Star Wars, and not a game made by a big company, just adds insult to injury.
The game's art style is the one that looks like a game from Star Wars. But it looks like Star Wars in the trailer as well. This is an insult to Star Wars, and to the fans who love the movie.
The fact that this game would look like a game from Star Wars… the game looks like it was made by a big company. It looks like it was made by a company that actually had the vision to make a game that looked like Star Wars. It looks like a company that actually had the money to make the game that looked like Star Wars. And then to have it look like a game made by a company that is clearly trying to pull a fast one on the fans is just insulting.
This game is pretty much a joke. It looks like it was made by a company that has no hope of ever making an actual working game. That's not to say it isn't fun to play, but the game itself looks more like a corporate rip-off of the original Star Wars than it does a game that takes place in the original Star Wars.
This game is not for the faint of heart. You can play it for the mindless fun of watching Darth Vader blow up a bunch of planets in space with a bunch of weird weapons until he finally gets the drop on him. But that is the point. The point is in the end, you can't just make a video game that takes place in the Star Wars universe.
The game is made by a company called Nucleus Games, which has the most confusing name in the gaming world. I don't know if this is a good thing, because I think it is confusing. It does have a cool concept. You play as a Star Wars character who has to save the galaxy from the Evil Empire. You have to defeat its leaders and stop the terrible herbst casino of the Empire.

With the unexpected victory of Donald Trump in the US Presidential vote on the 8th of November the scenario of global trade policy enters a new phase. Indeed, the return to protectionism and the fierce opposition to regional free trade agreements have represented two of the pillars of the campaign of the 45th American President. In addition, the already uncertain future of the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (Ttip) between US and EU appears even more uncertain, especially in the light of Brexit and given the clouds gathering around CETA.
The graph below shows how important trade partners the USA and China are for Europe. China, in addition, is projected to keep the core of its industrial structure alive by supplying the global markets with subsidized exports, a phenomenon that might intensify once China acquires the Market Economy Status (MES) within the WTO, as a consequence of which the previous anti-dumping agreements become void.
The return of protectionism in Europe?
So far, the EU has proved to be a strong supporter of free trade and globalization. Indeed, the EU accounts for 15% of world imports (second only to the United States), yet the EU's trade duties affect a mere 0.21% of its imports.
The recent challenges that the steel sector has experienced, especially because of Chinese export subsidies, have however induced a recent change in the approach of the Commission.
The Communication "Steel: Preserving sustainable jobs and growth in Europe" published in March 2016 highlights an urgency to defend the steel sector against unfair trading practices.
"Our current rules are proving insufficient, to combat the harm from unfair foreign competition… It's now high time … to … equip the Commission with instruments fit to deal with the current realities of the international trading environment."
"The new method takes into account specific distortions due to state intervention in a country or a sector", -– "When a state has such control [on its economy] that the prices and cost of exported goods do not reflect market realities, we will be able to intervene."
The recent attempts to act against Chinese export subsidies are worrying signals of the weakening of European support for free trade.
Nonetheless, protectionism in Europe and in the US cannot be the solution. It would reduce the freedom of choice (and the budget) of consumers. Trade wars are expensive and it is unlikely that the EU and the US are equipped to battle with China. Similarly, promising to protect (or to revive in the US) sectors that have completely lost global competitiveness, subsidizing producers and imposing significant duties to imports cannot be an efficient and effective (both in the short and long run) solution. Sure, inefficient sectors may survive for a while thanks to State support and some jobs may even be protected or created; eventually, however, the economic losses due to the inefficiencies will take their toll.
Operating in a competitive environment does not need protectionism or champions elected by allegedly omniscient bureaucrats. Rather, it requires unfettered entrepreneurship.
Europe should establish itself as the main defender and believer of free trade. Surprisingly (and maybe rather ironically), Europe should provide a support to free trade, consistent with the arguments recently put forward by the Chinese Prime Minister Xi Jinping.


One of the often overlooked and misunderstood platforms that B2B brands can benefit greatly from is LinkedIn. Many believe the incredibly powerful platform is simply a job search engine, but it truly offers so much more and has the capability to generate massive reach organically. In 2019, LinkedIn should be any B2B marketers go-to tool for growing a brand.
Marketers are tasked with exploring and capitalizing on new avenues to achieve this tall order effectively. That's why it is more important than ever to have a digital marketing strategy that works for you and can produce tangible results.
Here are 5 practices you should include in your ecommerce marketing strategy.
Without a strategic vision for video production and distribution, clients can leave the project with a bad taste in their mouths, and rightfully so. Before seeking the "what" (video production), you need to consider the "where" (distribution) and most importantly, the "why" (goal).

What should you consider before hiring a PR agency?
With so many options, a million braggadocio tales and so much mystery around cost... how do you make a decision? PR agencies can make a fantastic addition to growing your brand. It's all about fit.
Ground-breaking discoveries aren't leaving the confinement of their niche corners of academia, business and science. See how infographics are the perfect remedy.

What is public relations? Nearly every professional in the field has to answer that question on a regular basis, and it's not an easy one.
We're seeing people all over the digital world narrowing in on niche markets and achieving localized celebrity status through their social media accounts and blogs.
Most of those working in the public relations industry know that 'media relations' generally refer to the a company's interactions with editors, reporters and journalists, but the evolution of social media has shifted the role of communicators and marketers in ways very few could predict.

Verhaal

Proloog
Ecoloog David Kruipen houdt zich intensief bezig met het bestuderen van de opwarming van de Aarde. Tijdens een expeditie treffen hij en zijn collega's een ijsbeer aan die zich op aanzienlijke afstand van zijn natuurlijke leefomgeving bevindt. Ze verdoven het dier en nemen het mee voor onderzoek. Vlak bij de plek waar ze de ijsbeer vonden, vinden ze ook de overblijfselen van een wolharige mammoet. Die zijn bloot komen te liggen omdat het ijs dat ze omsloot gesmolten is als gevolg van het veranderde klimaat.

Hoofdlijn
Kruipen is de alleenstaande vader van Evelyn, roepnaam Evey. Hun relatie heeft een deuk opgelopen doordat hij vanwege zijn werk niet aanwezig was bij de begrafenis van zijn vrouw, haar moeder. Wanneer hij Evey belt, haalt hij haar over om hem op te komen zoeken in het expeditiekamp. Ze kan meevliegen in de helikopter die ook ecologie-studenten Atom Galen, Ling Chen en Federico 'Freddy' Fulce naar het onderzoeksteam brengt. In de daaropvolgende dagen worden Kruipens collega's alleen een voor een doodziek. Hij belt Evey daarom opnieuw en laat haar beloven niet te komen, zonder te zeggen waarom. Evey zegt toe, maar stapt toch in de helikopter.

Piloot Bart landt met het viertal bij het onderzoekscentrum, op enige afstand van het expeditiekamp. Binnen treffen ze de inmiddels gestorven ijsbeer aan. De studenten maken selfies bij het dier. Bart laat zich overhalen om er ook mee op de foto te gaan. Hierbij wordt hij in zijn arm gebeten door een insect. Freddy en Ling blijken geliefden te zijn geweest. Ze maken het 's nachts in het onderzoekscentrum goed en vrijen met elkaar. Evey hoort het geluid van een naderende quad. Buiten treft ze het voertuig aan zonder berijder. Wanneer ze de helikopter controleert, valt haar vaders collega Jane eruit. Ze is zichtbaar ziek met de quad uit het expeditiekamp komen rijden en heeft het besturingspaneel van de helikopter vernield. Terwijl de groep Jane naar binnen brengt, komt Ling kijken wat er aan de hand is. Op haar gezicht zit op meerdere plekken rode uitslag. Jane braakt een donkergroene substantie uit en sterft. Freddy roept via de radio een hulphelikopter op.

De lichamen van zowel de ijsbeer, Jane als Ling blijken vol te zitten met eitjes van een parasiet. De groep isoleert daarom zowel de dode lichamen als de nog levende Ling. Freddy is geïnfecteerd door Ling, maar verzwijgt dit tegenover de anderen. Evelyn wil de hulphelikopter afzeggen en de stand van zaken doorgeven. Dit om te voorkomen dat ze de dodelijke infectie naar bewoond gebied overbrengen en een plaatselijke, landelijke of zelfs wereldwijde epidemie veroorzaken. Ze accepteert dat zijzelf alleen kunnen hopen dat er op tijd een effectieve aanpak wordt gevonden voordat de infectie ze doodt. Freddy voorkomt dat Evelyn de hulp kan afzeggen door de radio te vernielen.

Bart komt erachter dat zijn arm is geïnfecteerd, door de beet van de ijsbeer. Hij krijgt Atom en Evey zover om zijn onderarm af te hakken, in de hoop dat de infectie zich daardoor niet verder verspreidt. Het lichaam van de ijsbeer blijkt inmiddels volledig bedekt met de dodelijke parasieten. Die dringen via de luchtkanalen nu ook door tot de andere ruimtes van het onderzoekscentrum. De groep besluit zich te verschuilen in de helikopter. Bart gaat niet mee. De parasieten blijken nog steeds aanwezig in zijn lichaam. Hij laat zichzelf daarom opsluiten bij Ling en geeft zowel haar als zichzelf een injectie met morfine, om zo bewusteloos hun einde af te wachten. Evey stelt Atom en Freddy voor om iedereen te controleren op de aanwezigheid van parasieten voor ze de helikopter ingaan. Freddy weigert en richt een geweer op Evey. Voor hij de trekker kan overhalen, wordt hij zelf gevloerd door een kogel. Het schot blijkt afkomstig van Kruipen, die gewond richting het onderzoekscentrum is gestrompeld.

Terwijl de hulphelikopters naderen, stelt Kruipen voor het onderzoekscentrum in brand te steken en overgiet het met benzine. Evey weet inmiddels zo goed als zeker wat haar vader van plan was en gaat eerst opnieuw naar binnen. Hier kijkt ze een video-opname af die Kruipen maakte in het expeditiecentrum en later gevonden had moeten worden. Op de beelden is te zijn dat hij zichzelf infecteert met de parasiet om die heimelijk los te laten op de bewoonde wereld. Om diezelfde reden liet hij de studenten overvliegen en wilde hij alleen Eveys komst voorkomen. Kruipen ziet het veroorzaken van een omvangrijke ramp als deze als enige manier om mensen bewust te maken van de gevolgen van de opwarming van de Aarde. De ernst van alle andere soorten waarschuwingen wordt niet op waarde geschat, vertelt hij in de camera. Jane heeft hem verwond nadat ze doorkreeg wat zijn plan was. Ze vernielde de helikopter om te voorkomen dat er besmette personen mee naar de bewoonde wereld konden vliegen.

Kruipen sluit Atom en zijn dochter op in het onderzoekscentrum. Wanneer hij in de hulphelikopter stapt, vertelt hij de piloot dat de twee een gevaar voor de volksgezondheid vormen en niet meer te redden zijn. Atom en Evey krijgen de deur niettemin open en ontsnappen. Atom grijpt zich vast aan het landingsgestel van de helikopter, maar valt van meters hoog op de grond. Evey pakt Freddy's geweer en schiet op de helikopter. Nadat ze het glas van de cockpit doorboort, stort die neer op het onderzoekscentrum. De explosie zet het gebouw in één klap vuur en vlam. Evey haast zich nog naar Adam, maar die bezwijkt aan zijn verwondingen. Wanneer de dag erna een nieuwe reddingshelikopter landt, treft de bemanning alleen Evey nog aan, bewusteloos verschanst in de onklaar gemaakte helikopter van Bart.

Epiloog
Een hond snuffelt in een bos aan een dode vogel. Wanneer zijn baas hem roept, gehoorzaamt hij en springt hij in diens auto, die wegrijdt richting een stad. In het lichaam van de dode vogel klautert een van de parasieten rond.

Well hello there! Welcome to your weekly digest of the mobile security news that matters -- #MobSec5.
Welcome to your weekly digest of the mobile security news that matters – #MobSec5.
Android malware from the Svpeng family was one of the first to abuse Android's screen overlay or "draw on top" functionality in an attempt to trick users into giving up credentials. Read our blog post about Android overlay malware and what users can do to protect themselves against it.
One example of Google improving the security of the Android operating system is its SafetyNet Attestation API. The API allows an app to check whether it's running on a known, standard build of Android (and not a modified, rooted, or potentially compromised device). Rooted Android devices are a potential security threat to mobile apps and users because the rooting process sidesteps security features in standard Android builds and makes the user an administrator. We recently conducted a Google SafetyNet Attestation API study and found that less than 1 percent of the popular Google Play™ store apps we tested used the feature. And not all of those apps implemented the API properly. One app in particular performed a local attestation check, which puts the trust in the client — a bad security model.
The survey reveals that a mobile app's security and privacy practices play a critical role in users' decision whether or not to use it. Ninety percent of survey respondents said the security of the personal information they share during registration is important to them, and 75 percent said it's very important. Eighty-two percent of respondents said understanding why an app needs certain pieces of personal information and requests certain permissions (e.g., location services or camera access) is important to them as they consider signing up for an app. Instill users' trust in your mobile app by certifying your app's security, privacy and compliance. NowSecure can help with software for custom app analysis and deep-dive penetration testing or with our managed services.
This is the second time Amazon has halted sales of BLU mobile phones due to allegations that the phones violate users' privacy. Most recently, researchers claim that BLU mobile phones send MAC addresses, IMEIs, phone numbers, cell phone tower IDs, and lists of installed apps to servers in China.
An article on the CSO website suggests that Symantec has decided to avoid the issue altogether by selling its SSL/TLS and IoT businesses to Digicert.

With the change to Rep. Beto O'Rourke's answer regarding whether he will seek the Democratic nomination for president, the number of likely candidates for the chance to take on President Donald Trump in November 2020 creeps closer to 30. And so do the logistical and practical problems confronting Tom Perez, chairman of the Democratic National Committee. The looming debates, a wild ride of ratings and sound bites, sidebar controversies and media hype,will dwarf the 2016 roller coaster.
Having had a front-row seat as a question-posing panelist at four of the GOP primary debates during the last cycle, I have some advice for the Democrats. It is offered in the sincere hope they produce useful exchanges and perhaps sharpen some policy differences between the candidates on which voters might rely come Iowa, New Hampshire and beyond.
First, the Democrats need the political equivalent of the College Football Playoff's 13-member selection committee to make much-needed cuts from the field. In 2016, then-Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus used some sort of polling mix to qualify candidates for the big and small tables, and then position them on the debate stage.It worked for the GOP field of about 15 candidates. With almost double the number of contenders, though, the best path is for a panel of senior Democrats to meet in private, hash out who does and does not have a plausible path to the presidency, and then bar a few folks from the stage. It's a thankless task, but the list must be trimmed. The debates sponsored by the political parties are not Speakers' Corner at Hyde Park. They don't have to cede scarce resources to anyone with a campaign poster (or billions).
Assuming we are north of 21 wannabes, here is the solution to numbers: three debates a night from 6 to 11 p.m., with each lasting 90 minutes and featuring panels of seven or eight candidates chosen by lot. During the 2016 campaign, at the four CNN-Salem Media debates in which I took part, we learned that the appetite in the public for these forums is immense and the questions that could be asked are endless. Shuffling the deck for each night's debates would be interesting, audience-boosting and remove the idea of preordained outcomes and bias from the run-up. A panel of seven or eight candidates from 6 to 7:30 , another from 7:45 to 9:15 and a third from 9:30 to 11 allows plenty of time for seasoned stage managers at the networks to move candidates in and out, and offers the moderators and panelists makeup and break time. Random selection of the panels immediately immunizes the DNC from charges of bias, which is particularly important this year after the controversies that plagued the Democrats during the 2016 primaries.
Finally, how many rounds of debates to hold? Hopefully the DNC doesn't fall into the anti-Fox News trap and counts, like most Americans, five networks. Allocating three rounds of debates per network makes sense. Rep. John Delaney, D-Md., told me the first is tentatively scheduled for next June; a total of 15 five-hour broadcasts over the eight months between then and January 2020 isn't too much to offer the public. If 2016 is any guide, the ratings will be spectacular.
So start early and convene often. A committee of gatekeepers, combined with random selection of candidate panels and diversity among the questioners, won't produce Lincoln-Douglas, but it will improve on the breakthroughs of 2016 - which crushed the chaos of the GOP primary debates in 2012. Believe me, Democrats, you don't want that circus coming back to town with scores of invitations and wildly divergent formats.
And, please, no questions from Facebook or Twitter, no "town hall formats," no long introductions, endless countdown clocks, or opening or closing statements. Get to the meat of it and use a 90-second "bing" bell and an empowered moderator to keep things moving. And when confrontations arise and exchanges become heated, good producers will whisper sound advice into the ears of the hosts.
Everyone will benefit, especially a party looking for its strongest nominee.


"Where there is no vision, the people perish,". . .(Proverbs 29:19). Thank God for Mr. John Henry "Buck" Smith, Sr., a man with a vision. Approximately eighty-eight years ago, Grandpa Buck felt the need of ". . . assembling ourselves together." Consequently, people from the surrounding areas of Skunk Hollow, Redland Road and Clowney Place Communities began to congregate in his home to worship and praise God. Grandpa Buck's home was located behind a field across from Mrs. Maggie Sue Durrah's present home. Beds were taken down every week to provide ample space for service. For some time, only Sunday school was held. Although the congregation was virtually uneducated, they had enough insight to see the need of studying God's Word. "And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me" (St. John 12:32). The attendance grew as eager people traveled by foot, horse and buggy, and mules and wagons every week to "church" held in Grandpa Buck's home. Soon the one room church could no longer accommodate the vast number of growing worshippers. Services were then moved to a cotton house. God was continuing to bless these faithful people. Eventually, they built their first church. It was built out of hand-cut logs. Pretty soon this facility proved to be inadequate. Land was purchased from Mr. J. H. Clowney, a black man, at $20.00 per acre, and Mr. Robert Knuckles, father of Mr. Hezekiah Knuckles, donated the first $10.00 toward the construction of the new church. A "real" church with a tower bell was built on the property located in front of the present church's cemetery. Unfortunately, this church burned around 1933. This structure was completely destroyed. The bell cracked, but Mrs. Daisy Payton Smith managed to get the church's Bible; its pages were badly burned. In spite of this devastating experience, Grandpa Buck's vision continued to prevail. Services were moved to a schoolhouse in the community. Because of continuous contentions, a brush arbor was built. It was in this "church" where the first revival was held. As time evolved, another church was erected on the same property to replace the burned structure. This facility like all of the previous churches had no modern conveniences. It was heated with pot belly stoves, and drinking water was secured from a pump that was manually operated.
Years passed, and Grandpa Buck's vision continued to flourish in the hearts and minds of his descendants, sisters and brothers in Christ. In 1960, plans were formulated to build a church with modern facilities. Land in the front of the old church was purchased from Mr. Casper Clowney, brother of Mr. J. H. Clowney. The church had enough money to pay cash for the property. Services were then moved to the Smith Chapel School which is still standing with reflections of fellowship, love and communion Mr. Nathaniel T. "Bubba" Smith, Sr., Mr. Perry Hendrix, Mr. Wardell Durrah, Mr. Thad L. Smith, Sr. and Mr. Hezekiah Knuckles signed a loan note to secure funds to finance this new church. This church was completed in 1963.
The vision continued. Mr. Joe E. Smith, great grandson of Mr. John Henry "Buck" Smith, Sr., negotiated necessary transactions with Mr. and Mrs. C. B. Barre, who donated the property on which the present Smith Chapel Sanctuary, Fellowship Hall and Educational Department now stand. The first pastor to serve was Reverend Jim Suber. He was followed by Reverend J. H. Gilmore, who was from Jonesville, South Carolina. Reverend Gilmore could not drive; neither did he own a car. Once a month, he boarded a train from Jonesville to Campobello and was picked up by one of the church officers who met him at the depot. Oftentimes he came up on Saturday's and spent the night with some of the members. Reverend Gilmore served until his death in 1953. His tenure was followed by Reverend James R. Whitmore from Laurens, South Carolina, the first pastor with a car. His pastorship was followed by Reverend A. C. Philson, Reverend Jimmy Kerns, both of Spartanburg, South Carolina, and Reverend Harrison Gregory of Greer, South Carolina. Reverend J. Calvin Hill, also of Greer, South Carolina, is the present pastor and has served since May 1977.
For years, worship services consisted of Sunday School every Sunday and preaching every third Sunday of each month. Under the leadership of Reverend A. C. Philson, preaching was moved to first and third Sunday's in each month. The vision continued to expand, and under the leadership of the present pastor, preaching became a part of the worship service every Sunday. The first deacons to serve were Mr. John Henry (Buck) Smith, Sr. and Mr. Henry Bobo. Other deacons who have served during the span of the church's history are Mr. Lodan Foster, Mr. Sam Hendrix, Mr. Durrah Payton, Mr. Nathaniel T. "Bubba" Smith, Sr., Mr. John Henry Smith, Jr., Mr. Wardell Durrah, all of whom are deceased, and Mr. Sidney Joe Mills who accepted the "call" and is pastoring Friendship Baptist Church in Camden, New Jersey. The present officers are Mr. Thad L. Smith, Sr., Chairman, Mr. Hezekiah Knuckles, Mr. John Lee Landrum, Mr. Howard C. Durrah, Mr. Willie Bell, Mr. Thad L. Smith, Jr., Mr. Richard Mills and Mr. William Fred Mills.
The first Mother of the Church was Mrs. Nannie Little, mother of the oldest living member, Mrs. Oneal Hall. After Mrs. Little's death, Mrs. Daisy Payton Smith, who is also deceased, was selected to serve. Mrs. Ethel Mills serves as Mother of the Church today. Just like today, singing played a major role in the worship services of the early churches. Voices could be heard from a distance shouting praises through the singing of "Do, Mi, Sol, Do" songs. Because of the continuing vision, today's church is comprised of many auxiliaries which include five choirs. Mr. John Henry "Buck" Smith, Sr. fellow laborers loved him very much. Because of their tremendous admiration and respect for him, the church was named in his honor, SMITH CHAPEL BAPTIST CHURCH.
Mrs. Nannie Little, Mrs. Moriah Robinson, Mrs. Lois Jackson, Mrs. Ella Hendrix, Mrs. Corine Smith and Mrs. Daisy P. Smith, all of whom are deceased, often reminisced about the beginnings of committee was elected and plans were begun immediately to build another church. "Except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it;". . .(Psalms 127:1). The dream became a reality five years later. Because of a vision that began more than eight decades ago, the Smith Chapel Baptist Church Family proudly celebrates with VICTORY, DEDICATION 1988''''''' Thank God for Grandpa Buck, a man with an INCREDIBLE VISION!!!!

World Cup: Iranians unite against USA but are left sorely disappointed
Controversial build-up to crucial game as Iranian football figures and media took offence at a series of perceived American provocations

The United States have knocked Iran out of the World Cup with a 1-0 victory in Doha on Tuesday night. Christian Pulisic scored the winner after 38 minutes, though the Chelsea winger was substituted at half-time and subsequently taken to hospital after colliding painfully with Iran's goalkeeper, Alireza Beiranvand, in the act of scoring the goal.
"A blow to the abdomen," was how US coach Gregg Berhalter characterised the injury, though replays seemed to show the impact occurring a little lower on Pulisic's body.

The build-up to the game had been the most controversial of any so far at this tournament, as Iranian football figures and media took offence at a series of perceived American provocations.
Iran's coach Carlos Queiroz demanded ex-US coach Jurgen Klinsmann resign from FIFA's technical study group after the naturalised US citizen - and World Cup winner with West Germany - suggested on BBC television that gamesmanship and referee-manipulation were part of Iran's 'culture'.

There had been further controversy when the US Soccer federation posted images of Iran's flag, without the central emblem which was added to the flag by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini in 1980, in what they said was a show of support for women in Iran fighting for basic human rights. The Iranian football federation had responded by demanding the US be banned for 10 matches and thrown out of the World Cup.
Iran's supporters sounded fired up at the Al-Thumama Stadium and easily drowned out the smaller US contingent with chants, drums and vuvuzelas. There was no evidence of any fractures in the mass support for the team. If there is one thing that unites most Iranians today, it's that it is better to beat the United States in the World Cup than to lose to them.
But Iran proved unable to replicate their famous victory over the US in the 1998 World Cup. The new generation of Americans simply had too much quality.
"Ferraris," was how Queiroz described the swift American forwards, but it was the technically adept US midfielders who made the difference. When Queiroz said before the match that the Americans have "jumped from soccer to football", it sounded like he might be trying out some mind-games, but in the end their performance justified his praise.
In 1998, Queiroz had been commissioned by US Soccer to write a report on elite player development, so he can depart this World Cup claiming a small share of credit for the evident improvement since then of the American national team.

Highlander News
Toyota makes $100M investment to boost Indiana Highlander production
Brandon Turkus
Aug 25th 2014 at 1:31PM
Toyota has announced that it will be making a $100 million investment in its Princeton, IN factory in a bid to increase production of its popular Highlander CUV. The move will create 300 new jobs by 2016 and increase the total number of crossovers the plant can produce by 30,000.
Toyota currently builds the Highlander, alongside the fullsize Sequoia, at Toyota Indiana's West Plant. The additional capacity, though, will be sent to the East Plant, which is currently responsible for production of the recently refreshed Sienna minivan.
"The Highlander has been a great product for our plant," Toyota Indiana President Norm Bafunno said in a statement. "Establishing Highlander as the 'bridge vehicle,' as we call it, between the East and West plants increases our ability to meet customer needs for our outstanding products. This exciting news is a true testament to the capability of our hard-working and dedicated team members."

Toyota Indiana Adding 300 Jobs to Build More Highlanders
Popular SUV Added to Second Assembly Line, Improving Production Flexibility
PRINCETON, Ind., Aug. 22, 2014 – The regional economy is about to get a boost because Toyota Indiana is on the grow again. The plant will invest $100 million and add 300 jobs by summer 2016 to boost production of the popular Highlander midsize sport utility vehicle. This expansion will bring Toyota Indiana's overall investment to $4 billion. This step allows Toyota to utilize existing capacity in North America while providing additional flexibility to adjust our product mix to meet changing customer demand.
Since production of the third-generation Highlander began in the Indiana plant in December 2013, sales have been strong. From January through July 2014, Toyota sold about 90,000 Highlanders, an increase of 16 percent over the same period the previous year.
Currently, Toyota Indiana builds the Highlander only in the West Plant alongside the Sequoia full-size sport utility vehicle. To meet increasing demand for Highlander, annual production of up to 30,000 of the midsize SUVs will be added to Toyota Indiana's East Plant where the Sienna minivan is built.
"The Highlander has been a great product for our plant," said Toyota Indiana President Norm Bafunno. "Establishing Highlander as the 'bridge vehicle,' as we call it, between the East and West plants increases our ability to meet customer needs for our outstanding products. This exciting news is a true testament to the capability of our hard-working and dedicated team members."
Toyota Indiana, the sole producer of Highlander in North America, also exports it to Australia, New Zealand and Eastern Europe. Sienna is shipped to South Korea, Pacific islands and other countries, and the Sequoia is exported to the Middle East, making the Indiana plant a global supply base for SUVs and minivans.
"Indiana is a state that works when it comes to building the cars that keep America moving forward," said Gov. Mike Pence. "Hoosier-built products like the Toyota Highlander are known around the world for their precision and quality. And with suppliers in all corners of the state, Toyota is helping to strengthen and grow Indiana's economy."
Toyota (NYSE:TM), the world's top automaker and creator of the Prius, is committed to building vehicles for the way people live through our Toyota, Lexus and Scion brands. Over the past 50 years, we have built more than 25 million cars and trucks in North America, where we operate 14 manufacturing plants (10 in the U.S.) and directly employ more than 40,000 people (more than 32,000 in the U.S.). Our 1,800 North American dealerships (1,500 in the U.S.) sold more than 2.5 million cars and trucks (more than 2.2 million in the U.S.) in 2013 – and about 80 percent of all Toyota vehicles sold over the past 20 years are still on the road today.

Biography. The following Christy family biographies refer to James Christy, Robert F. Christy, John Washington Salman and William Robertson.
Biographies: James Christy was born on May 4, 1827 at Baltimore, Maryland. He apprenticed as a blacksmith to Mr. John Washington Salman of Philadelphia, Pa. In 1846. At the beginning of the California Gold Rush, Mr. Salman bought the fifty-foot schooner GENERAL GEORGE CADWALADER, and he, Mr. Christy, and four other men sailed from Philadelphia to San Francisco though the Straits of Magellan in 1849. They arrived in San Francisco on March 24, 1850. Christy married Elizabeth Hipple of Philadelphia in San Francisco on September 11, 1851. They lived in San Francisco, and by 1871 they had four children: Samuel Benedict (b. August 8, 1853), Sarah Elizabeth (b. September 21, 1856) Hattie (d.o.b. unknown), and James Robert (b. March 7, 1865). The journal makes a reference to "five children," one of which apparently died at a very young age. James Christy set up shop as a blacksmith and shipsmith In 1850. He is listed in Langley's San Francisco Directory of 1868 as a "shipsmith, cor. Napa and Michigan" living on "Mississippi nr. Mariposa." In 1879 he is in the same trade at an different location, "Berry, Bet. Third and Fourth." James Christy is listed as a smith, shipsmith, or blacksmith as late as 1901, when his residence changes to 1226 18th. He died in 1902.
Robert F. Christy. Little is known of the life of Robert F. Christy, beyond the fact that he too was a shipsmith. He is listed in Langley's San Francisco Directory of 1868 as a blacksmith at Vulcan Iron Works. He tried his hand at gold mining. He was a member of Knickerbocker Fire Company #5; and a founding member of San Francisco Masonic Lodge #1.
John Washington Salman was a shipsmith in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. When news reached the East Coast of the discovery of gold in California, he purchased a small schooner, the GENERAL GEORGE CADWALADER, and engaged the services of a competent master, William Robertson, for the voyage to California. The voyage to San Francisco via the Straits of Magellan lasted from September 20, 1849 to March 24, 1850. After arrival, Salman engaged the CADWALADER in the coastal and river trade under Robertson's command. He died on August 22, 1850, after a long illness, and before many of his California plans became reality.
William Robertson was the first mate on the British bark MAGNET in 1845-1846. He was in command of the small schooner GENERAL GEORGE CADWALADER on her voyage from Philadelphia to San Francisco. Subsequently, he took CADWALADER up the coast on voyages to the Trinity River, and up the Sacramento River to Sacramento City.

Da na, da na, (da na?) da na dee (followed by 8 (?) cowbell (?) clanks)
There's a song that I heard a few years ago, that I had previously not heard in probably over 15 years (maybe over 20), but when I heard it a few years ago I was like, "oh, that song." Like it was one I remembered hearing more often as a kid. The two lines I remember (which are identical) are:
Da na, da na, (da na?) da na dee (followed by I think 8 cowbell klanks, perhaps fading into the next line (I'm not sure if there are 3 or 4 "da nas" before the "dee", and yes those are probably other words but my ear for music lyrics has never been good) Next line: Da na, da na, (da na?) da na dee (and again some cowbell or something like it, I think, although I'm not as sure here as I am about after the first line)
I think I first heard it no later than the very early 90s, but it seems like more of an 80s song. Does anyone have any clue what song I'm thinking about?

When I first joined this group yesterday, I was planning on seeking help identifying a Doobie Brothers song with "dnt-dnt-dnt-dnt-dnt-dnt-DNT-DNT-dananana, dnt-dnt-dnt-dnt-dnt-dnt-DNT-DNT-dananana" which I thought began with "When I was a young boy, even at the age of five" (that's from another song I think). Anyway, I made one last effort looking through their discography on Wikipedia and discovered it - "Dependin' on You" (1979, from the album Minute by Minute). Perhaps knowing how I remembered that song until yesterday could help someone trying to answer my present quandary.
– Kevin M. Lamoreau
Are you saying that the actual lyrics are "da na" or that it just has the "da na" rhythm?
– Chris Sunami supports Monica
You might check this list
The latter. And thanks for the list.
Can it be "Nah neh nah" from Vaya Con Dios? youtube.com/watch?v=7LUm-E4GPU8
– Montag451
I haven't been on this site for almost four years. About a year ago, I heard Fleetwood Mac's "Hold Me" on the radio at my workplace, and could tell that that was the song I was thinking about. That evening (or maybe during my lunch break) I watched the music video on YouTube, and that solidified it. Each (somewhat dragged out "ho-old me" in the chorus kind of fades out into the next one (three of them before a series of cowbell clanks (or something similar), and then another three "ho-old me"s). It may not seem like the song I was talking about from my question, but at that point I hadn't heard the song in a few years and I memory of it was somewhat faded (but I very much wanted to hear it again).
"Hold Me" was on the list that Chris Sunami referred me to (I just checked) so partial credit there, although that list seemed too long for me to attempt listening to all of those songs and I ended up hearing it on the radio in my office and asking co-workers, "What's that song?"
Thanks for everyone who tried to help me find out what song it was.
The song La tribu de Dana by the French band Manau has this lyrics:
Da na da na
and then immediately after there's a violin motif that you could scat like "deeda dada deeda dada" and so on.
It seems like a long shot, but at least already the "lyrics" of the question are matching. Not the cowbell, obviously, however it seems whether this was really a cowbell is not sure anyway. So it might be what you were looking for.

Q: Passing an array using Ctypes So my python program is
from ctypes import *
import ctypes

number = [0,1,2]
testlib = cdll.LoadLibrary("./a.out")

testlib.init.argtypes = [ctypes.c_int]
testlib.init.restype = ctypes.c_double

#create an array of size 3
testlib.init(3)

#Loop to fill the array

#use AccessArray to preform an action on the array

And the C part is
#include <stdio.h>

double init(int size){
    double points[size];

    return points[0];
}

double fillarray(double value, double location){

    // i need to access
}

double AccessArray(double value, double location){

    // i need to acess the array that is filled in the previous function
}

So what I need to do is to pass an array from the python part to the C function somehow move that array in C to the another function where I will access it in order to process it.
I'm stuck though because I cant figure out a way to move the array in the C part.
can someone show me how to do this?

A: You should try something like this (in your C code):
#include <stdio.h>

double points[1000];//change 1000 for the maximum size for you
int sz = 0;

double init(int size){
    //verify size <= maximum size for the array
    for(int i=0;i<size;i++) {
        points[i] = 1;//change 1 for the init value for you
    }
    sz = size;
    return points[0];
}

double fillarray(double value, double location){
    //first verify 0 < location < sz
    points[(int)location] = value;
}

double AccessArray(double value, double location){
    //first verify 0 < location < sz
    return points[(int)location];
}

This is a very simple solution but if you need to allocate an array with just any size you shoul study the use of malloc

A: Maybe something like this?
$ cat Makefile

go: a.out
        ./c-double

a.out: c.c
        gcc -fpic -shared c.c -o a.out

$ cat c.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <malloc.h>

double *init(int size) {
    double *points;

    points = malloc(size * sizeof(double));

    return points;
}

double fill_array(double *points, int size) {
    int i;
    for (i=0; i < size; i++) {
        points[i] = (double) i;
    }

}

double access_array(double *points, int size) {
    // i need to access the array that is filled in the previous function
    int i;
    for (i=0; i < size; i++) {
        printf("%d: %f\n", i, points[i]);
    }
