Seven-foot tsunamis threaten oil tanker expressway in Persian Gulf, study warns
The Independent | 13 Jul 2019
The world's major oil tanker expressway in the Persian Gulf could be hammered with 7ft tsunamis as often as every two years, new research warns. This is likely to be caused by global warming and could cause massive disruption to the global supply of oil, 30 per cent of which passes through the region. For the past 100 years the Persian Gulf...

The limpet mines used to attack a Japanese-owned oil tanker near the Strait of Hormuz last week bore "a striking resemblance" to similar mines displayed by Iran, a U.S. Navy explosives expert said Wednesday, stopping short of directly blaming Tehran for the assault. Iran has denied being involved in the attack last Thursday that hit the Japanese...

Q: JMSi18nRoutingBundle language selector I have implemented the following language switcher:

    {% if path(app.request.attributes.get('_route')) == '/' %}

ES

EN

IT

    {% else %}

ES

EN

IT

    {% endif %}

I'm using JMSi18nRoutingBundle for translating the urls. It works fine but when it renders a view which has a parameter in the url, the following error appears:
An exception has been thrown during the rendering of a template ("Some mandatory
parameters are missing ("id") to generate a URL for route
"es__RG__myapp_mybundle_myaction_edit".") in
MyAppMyBundle:Default:includes/myView.html.twig at line 21.

A: Use following condition to check for homepage

{% if app.request.attributes.get('_route') == 'homepage' %}

instead of

{% if path(app.request.attributes.get('_route')) == '/' %}

Explanation:
When you are accessing an URL which required parameter(s), your code in if statement path(app.request.attributes.get('_route')) generates the error. As your home page route is defined as homepage, only checking the _route attribute will be enough to determine that you are accessing the homepage.
Happy coding!!

But the one who boasts should boast in this: that he understands and knows me — that I am the Lord, showing faithful love, justice, and righteousness on the earth, for I delight in these things. This is the Lord's declaration.
Jeremiah 9:24
Pure and undefiled religion before God the Father is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself unstained from the world.
James 1:27
Therefore, you should pray like this: Our Father in heaven, your name be honored as holy. Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Matthew 6:9-10
Your name be honored as holy.
We honor His name as holy when we walk in a manner that reflects who he is. If we bear the name of Christ, then our lives must bear his ways and our living his character. How else can his kingdom come and his will be done?
We are views, portals into the eternal, into his kingdom. We must live in a way that displays his faithful love, justice, and righteousness and be vessels that carry the trademarks of his kingdom; manifestations of his kingdom flow and function. How else will this world be impacted? How else will the world see his faithful love?
We are his earthly agents, representatives of heaven. We are the ones who are to bring the scent of heaven to earth; to employ, to implement his kingdom and his will into our corners of this world. If we seek justice, let us be that justice. If we seek love in a love-starved society, let us bring that love. Let his righteousness be displayed in us.
Oswald Chambers once said, "We always look for justice in this world, but there is no such thing as justice."
We must bring the justice that this world needs; justice for the lonely, justice for the hungry, and justice for the broken. Abuse and greed, manipulation and insincerity, have no place in the church, for they have no place in the kingdom of God.
The Our Father prayer is really and offering to God, an offering that says, "I am available. Let your kingdom of love, righteousness, and justice be the rule in my life. Let my life carry out your perfect will. Make me more than just an observer of the problem; make me part of the answer."
Will you make this your prayer?

Liane Hansen: When Granada Television first asked Jeremy Brett to play Sherlock Holmes, the British actor was not particularly enthused.
Liane Hansen: Jeremy Brett did not think he had the stuff to play Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's famous detective. At the time he was a romantic lead in Shakespeare and wooed Audrey Hepburn as Freddie in the film My Fair Lady. Besides, Sherlock Holmes had been portrayed by some of the finest actors of the century; William Gillette, Eille Norwood, Arthur Wontner, and, of course, Basil Rathbone. Intimidating competition. But Jeremy Brett eventually changed his mind, and is now doing his sixth series as Holmes. The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes premiered this week on PBS stations across the country as part of the Mystery! series. What prompted the change was Brett's rereading of the entire canon. The fifty-four short stories and four novels written by Doyle about Sherlock Holmes.
Jeremy Brett: And I discovered all sorts of things that I could do if I had had the opportunity to do it. So I said 'yes!', with enormous temerity, and a certain amount of fear, and an element of excitement. We approached the scripts. I said, 'But you've asked me to do Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes ... these aren't Sherlock Holmes – Doyle's stories' . . . I mean, the adapters had gone so far away. And the script editor said, 'Jeremy, you're here to act; just get on with it'. And I tipped the table over and my Dover sole landed in his lap.
Jeremy Brett: And that was the beginning of the tousle. I used to take the whole canon with me to every – the beginning of each film, and fight for Doyle. After about a year and a half I said, 'Listen, if you don't start taking care of me I may lose interest', because it was such a tousle. But than Granada Studios stepped in and were so remarkable and wonderful and gave me two weeks rehearsal instead of the one. So the first week I could fight for Doyle and the second week I could work with my fellow actors. And that's basically how it's been ever since.
Jeremy Brett: Well, Basil Rathbone, first and foremost, is my Sherlock Holmes.
Jeremy Brett: Yes. Because he was the person I first saw, and I can't see me of course, so he is my Sherlock Holmes.
Liane Hansen: But do you try to do what he does or to avoid what he does in order to make it your own? You do want to make it your own.
Jeremy Brett: Well, we are, a few of us in England, we are what we call 'becomers'. In other words, you become the person you're playing. Rather like Stanislavski. Not - the method, because the method's slightly different, but you become the creature, the person you're playing. In other words, if I'm a sponge; you squeeze the liquid of yourself out and draw in the liquid of the creature or the person you're playing. And so I had to try and give birth to him. I made terrible mistakes. I'm so miscast, I'm a romantic-heroic actor. So I was terribly aware that I had to hide an awful lot of me, and in so doing I think I look quite often brusque, or maybe sometimes even slightly rude. In fact Dame Jean Conan Doyle, Doyle's daughter, who's a great personal friend of mine, did once say to me, 'I don't think my father meant You-Know-Who to be quite so rude', and I said, 'I'm terribly sorry, Dame Jean, I'm just trying to hide me'. She did say a lovely thing to me when I did the play, in 1988, which was really to celebrate You-Know-Who's birthday – he's a hundred, ha-ha . . . For a man who never existed it's extraordinary to celebrate a birthday.
Jeremy Brett: And, umm, she did come to the play and she did write me a sweet letter in which she said, 'You are the Holmes of my childhood'. And that, for me, is the ultimate accolade.
Jeremy Brett: Well, I – What I had to do, I mean, we're talking about – I was talking about becoming. What I mean by that is an inner life. Watson describes You-Know-Who as a mind without a heart; that's hard to play - hard to become. So what I did was to invent an inner life. I mean, I know what his nanny looked like, for example; she was covered in starch. She probably scrubbed him, but never kissed him. I don't think he probably saw his mother until he was about eight. Maybe caught a touch of the fragrance of her scent and the rustle of her dress. I guess collage days were fairly complicated because he was quite isolated. He probably saw a girl – across the quadrangle – and fell in love, but she never looked at him . . . so he closed that door. And he became a brilliant fencer, of course, as we know, and a master at boxing . . . brilliant athlete . . . and many more little ti-tiny little details which I have to kind of make up to fill this kind of well of . . . that Doyle so brilliantly left out, because he built this extraordinary edifice, and you – of you're going to try – I mean you – Cour-course, it's much better read, and that's the truth; Doyle's works are better read. If you're going to be rash enough to try and bring him into life by the visual arts . . . he's even better on a radio! I'd rather listen to him, than see him. Seeing is limiting, you know.
Liane Hansen: You do develop a body language for him, though, I mean whenever he thinks he makes a pyramid with his fingers and he puts them up in front of his face and h-he has eccentric rather gestures of the hand.
Jeremy Brett: It's all Doyle.
Liane Hansen: It's all Doyle.
Jeremy Brett: All Doyle. You see, I couldn't believe it; it's all there. He says - there's one moment which really threw me . . . it says, he says, 'Holmes wriggles in his seat and roars with laughter' . . . You see, I'd never even thought of Holmes laughing.
Jeremy Brett: So I had to go on an extraordinary journey of discovery and it's all there! In Doyle. And what is so extraordinary to me is that no one's done Doyle before, and I find that bewildering!
Liane Hansen: In the course of producing these series and acting in these series, was it difficult for you to change Watsons midstream?
Jeremy Brett: Well, it was devastating. My darling David Burke came to me and said, 'I – please, I must go home, my son, Tom, is two and I must be with him growing up.' And I said, 'Of course! I absolutely understand.' And, emm, so he went back to Anna, his sweet wife, and little Tom. And I stood and waved goodbye at the station in Manchester, which is where the studios are located in England, and thought, 'Now what do I do? I've lost a Watson. My bestest friend.' And, emm, I mean me, one of my best friends; David Burke. And, uh, it was Anna, his wife, who said, 'There's a man with a cast of mind rather like yours David.' And Edward arrived, of course who I'd worked with at the National Theatre. He's Sir Cedric Hardwicke's son, by the bye.
Jeremy Brett: So that's how we adapted and healed it in.
Liane Hansen: Oh . . . You had a personal tragedy, between seasons; your wife died.
Jeremy Brett: Yes, well, Joanie, umm . . . Well, the reason I did Aren't We All? was to be with her. (stutters) I knew at the end of The Final Problem in '84 that she had cancer, and the lights really went out in my life. And, umm . . . I didn't want to do it anymore. I didn't see any point, and . . . We were going to do all the treatment in England and then we decided to do it in Boston because sh-she works for W-W – worked for WGBH. You know she created Mystery!.
Liane Hansen: I didn't know that!
Liane Hansen: Back on the horse.
Jeremy Brett: Yeah, that's right.
Jeremy Brett: And, umm, I did the next five films with the most appalling ill grace I'm afraid. I mean, I just didn't want to do them. And then I had a b-b – what is now known, umm, because the TV Guide published it over here – I had, emm, an almighty breakdown. And when I came through that, thanks entirely to my darling son, David, who was a valiant friend to me through that . . . umm, I got back on the bike again! (chuckles) And I - I remember saying, 'If I can get to Manchester, I'll be all right.' And then I made The Sign of Four and I began to feel better and then I began to feel better with Holmes, and I wasn't quite so cr- – I've said him – I wasn't quite so cross with him. Umm, 'cause I blamed him a little.
Liane Hansen: You blamed him?
Jeremy Brett: Well, he – I was working, you see, so far away from Joan, and it had taken up s-so much of our last w-what we – I discovered to be our last few years. And, emm, I begin – You know, time is the great healer. And, uh, and now . . . Actually, Caleb, my eldest, umm, my legacy from Joan, says that I'm looking much better than he's seen me in years. I saw at – three weeks ago in California. So, slowly, slowly, slowly. You never get over a loss like that. You get used to it but you never get over it.
Liane Hansen: You've done thirty-four hours of Doyle stories?
Jeremy Brett: I've done thirty-four films. I can't remember, there's two . . . there's three two-hour films, I've just finished, three weeks ago, a two-hour film, and two others; The Sign of Four and the Study in S– not the Study in Scarlet – Hound of the Baskervilles. And the rest are one-hour films.
Jeremy Brett: Well, I'm going to complete the canon. Thanks to Peter Speiner and Granada Studios.
Liane Hansen: Completing the canon! And then, what? I mean, then you will be able to leave him behind.
Jeremy Brett: Well, I don't mind, now, I mean . . . Uh, there was a time when people would say, 'How do you enjoy playing Holmes?' and I would say, 'I wouldn't cross the street to meet him'. I then discovered that, of course, I meant that he wouldn't cross the street to meet me. Then when I was doing the play, which taught me a very great deal because I was in touch with people, 'cause filming is quite isolated, and I realized how many children were seeing him and how - what a hero he was, to them. I thought, 'Oh, my, didn't know that', so I thought, 'My goodness, I have that joy', umm, of doing it for children. And I think I know why the children love him and that's because Sir Arthur Conan Doyle endowed Holmes with all the sensibilities of a child – up to the age of eight. Then, at the age of eight, of course you're told not to look out of the window, umm, get on with your Latin syntax, and they begin to diminish those extra senses. Holmes has them.
Liane Hansen: Do you think you've learned anything about the powers of observation that he had that you need for your own art to become these, uh, characters that you play?
LIEN VERSION FRANCAISE Interview de Jeremy Brett par Liane Hansen (Novembre 1991) National Public RadioJeremy Brett: No.
Jeremy Brett: No. Somebody asked me the other day - do I dream about him. And, mercifully, no.
Liane Hansen: Don't want to take your work home with you.

At the End of Honduras' 'Road of Death'
Óscar Martínez*
The Salvadoran media organization El Faro reports from the Honduran province of Copan, rumored to be a hideout of drug lord 'El Chapo,' which sits on the mouth of the "road of death" trafficking route that winds from Nicaragua north to Guatemala.
The following is InSight Crime's translation of extracts from El Faro's report:
Talking with a police chief in the town of El Paraiso, Copan.
Police Commissioner Juan Carlos Bonilla, "El Tigre," is 45 years old, almost 25 of those serving in the institution. Now he is the chief of three Honduran provinces on the border with Guatemala and El Salvador. He is in charge of Copan, where we are now, on the border with Izabal and Zacapa, in Guatemala. Izabal and Zacapa are under the control of the Mendozas and the Lorenzanas, who according to the Guatemalan police are two of the families most emblematic of the country's drug trade. He is also in charge of Nueva Ocotepeque, which borders on Chiquimula, Guatemala, and Calatenango, El Salvador. This Honduran department is on the border with San Fernando, the small Guatemalan town where the domain of the Texis Cartel begins. El Tigre is also the police chief of Lempira, which borders with Caltenango and Cabañas, in El Salvador.
Because he rules Copan, El Tigre is in charge of the point of exit of what, in Honduras, is known as the road of death, the cocaine trafficking route which begins at the border with Nicaragua, in the Caribbean province of Gracias a Dios, and which runs along the coast through four other departments before arriving at this border with Guatemala. Among them is Atlantida, the most violent province in Central America.
El Tigre is a colossal, fat man, almost 1.9 meters tall, with a hard face, as if it were sculpted out of rock, which reminds you of the Mexican Olmec heads. Among his colleagues he is famed for his bravery, and he likes to be known in this way.
"Everyone knows you don't mess with me," he says often.
In 2002, the police's internal investigation unit accused El Tigre of taking part in a death squad against supposed criminals in San Pedro Sula, one of the most violent cities in Central America, with 119 murders for each 100,000 inhabitants. There was even a witness who said they had been present at one of the executions by this death squad made up, allegedly, of police, and called Los Magnificos. El Tigre had to pay a fine of 100,000 lempiras (more than $5,000) for his freedom during the trial. Then, in proceedings which many branded as rigged, where the main sponsor of the complaint, the ex-head of the prosecution unit, left her post mid-trial, Bonilla was exonerated.
"Have you killed outside the law?" I asked him, as we were leaving El Paraiso.
"There are things that one takes to the grave. What I can tell you is that I love my country and I am ready to defend it at all costs, and I have done things to defend it. That is all that I will say."
We are here because El Tigre wants to show that what I said is not true. I told him that, according to officials, mayors, journalists, human rights defenders, priests, men and women who asked that their names not be revealed, certain zones on the border of Copan, of his border, are controlled by drug traffickers –by "the 'señores.'"
El Tigre, one afternoon, mounted an operation. He told me that he did them routinely, and that today I could choose where to go, so that I would realize that he went wherever he felt like.
"To El Paraiso, I want to go to El Paraiso."
"Alright then… Wherever you want I will go. [Speaking to his assistant] Girl, leave those reports and prepare a good team of agents, call those on the roads, but don't say where we are going, so that it's a surprise."
El Tigre does not trust his police officers. He says that he only trusts one of those in his zone — himself.
Talking with a Honduran intelligence agent in Tegucigalpa.
I wanted to ask a little about the zone of Copan, to know the place I would be going […] [The intelligence agent] spoke of a zone of cowboys and ranchers.
"Santa Rosa de Copan is a place where those señores relax, and do business. There they make deals, they meet, they have their families and houses to relax. There they also make deals with those politicians, mayors and officials who they they have bought off, hold their political meetings."
The agent differentiated Copan from other Honduran departments, above all from those like Olancho or Gracias a Dios, ports of entry for cocaine that comes up from Colombia to Honduras. There, shootouts are music heard every day. Yesterday there was one lasting two hours in Catacamas, the second city of Olancho, because the drug traffickers from that place are fighting for control of the routes with the families from Juticalpa, the capital. In Copan, the ephemeral peace of the narcos rules at the moment. When, after their battles, one is proclaimed king, they let him reign for a time. Only for a time.
"In Copan everyone knows who rules. That is the territory of the people linked to the Sinaloa Cartel, though they aren't exclusive to them. They operate as free agents for whoever pays, but they have a close relationship with Sinaloa. We even have a constant alert because we know that Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman (head of the Sinaloa Cartel) often comes to the municipalities bordering Guatemala. This year we have detected the presence of the Zetas. That, confirming their interest in the zone, would change the outlook."
The intelligence agent kept describing Copan as a zone of the most organized drug traffickers, with the most experience. He says that the Valle family has a large part of the control of that border, with a headquarters in El Espiritu, a village of just under 4,000 inhabitants one hour from the border with Guatemala. A border without customs enforcement, obviously, a border in the middle of the forest.
The agent defends the theory that Guatemala leads Central America in terms of transporting cocaine towards the U.S., that they are the trusted henchmen of the Mexicans and the Colombians. However, he said that the Honduran organizations from the east of the country, like those of Copan, have a lot of power to negotiate, thanks to their experience, and that that is demonstrated by the constant sending of Mexican emissaries to negotiate to cities like Santa Rosa de Copan, without Guatemalan intermediaries.
Talking to a former Copan mayor in the city of Santa Rosa de Copan.
"If I thought that giving you my name would change anything, I would give you my name, but it wouldn't do anything, because these señors who rule this border aren't alone, behind them are the men in ties who govern the county," the ex-mayor said, to explain why he would not identify himself in this conversation.
We met for breakfast in a restaurant on the outskirts of Santa Rosa de Copan. So that he would agree to appear, this two-term former mayor of a municipality in the border zone of Copan demanded all the usual protocol. A trusted contact of his told him to trust me. They told him that I would not publish his name, that I would not divulge the place of the meeting or the municipality he governed. They told him that I would not take photos. So he agreed to talk, and gave a very enlightening summary.
"Look, here things that seem like lies, exaggeration, aren't. They do what they like because they have all the political support that they want. 'Chapo' Guzman has passed through here, everyone knows, he has been in a hacienda in El Espiritu protected by the Valle family, the big money launderers in the region, with hotels in Santa Rosa de Copan and another mountain of businesses. And he has been to El Paraiso."
For the first time I asked directly about El Paraiso, about its prosperity, its helipad, and its mayor with pretensions to the capitol.
"Look, all the mayors in the zone know how the mayor of El Paraiso operates. He doesn't always offer you money. When you have municipal festivals he tells you to put on what you like, rodeos, well-known north Mexican groups that will attract people, and that way you will gather more money. Then he will ask you for a favor. That has happened to many of us mayors. And I ask you, if my municipality is so poor, as rural as his, why does he have so much money that he can bring Mexican groups who charge thousands of dollars for an event?"
What the former mayor told me while we ate breakfast was confirmed by another acting mayor who had also received offers from the mayor of El Paraiso. This notable mayor of El Paraiso is called Alexander Ardon, and he travels in an armored vehicle escorted by another two, which carry 20 armed men who guard him day and night.
The media interest in El Paraiso grew when in 2008 the former Honduran security minister, Jorge Gamero, called this municipality "the black spot of Copan," a province already famous for being key in the transit of South American cocaine. In an interview published in August 2008 by the Honduran newspaper La Prensa, the only one that the mayor has given, Ardon boasts of having studied only until fifth grade, of having been born poor, and now having millions of lempiras in the bank. He says that he and his municipality are rich because of milk and cattle. He says that this is a millionaire business.
Ardon defines himself as a humble man, but says that he is, literally, the king of the people. He avoids answers over his links to drug trafficking, and accepts that, because of being close to the border, many cattle ranchers like him have benefited from cattle rustling. Otherwise, he does not give interviews or court the media.
Someone who does is the bishop of Copan, Luis Santos, who since 2008 has given interviews to various media outlets, which could make headlines if it wasn't for the fact that in Copan any revelations about the world of drug trafficking, however strange, is seen as normal. "In El Paraiso only the church remains, because everything else has already been bought by drug traffickers," he said. "In El Paraiso there are hamlets where you can see mansions," he added. "In El Paraiso the girls don't accept a boyfriend who doesn't have the latest model car, which the narcos do have," he said. Let's not get confused: let's remember that El Paraiso is a municipality lost on the border, lost in Honduras, accessed overland, through mud.

Q: Segmentation-fault with PyObject_Call() in shared library for iTunes I'm experimenting with the iTunes SDK and Cython. The DLL entry-point seems to work, but using any "real Python" causes iTunes to crash.
The following code compiles fine and the plugin-dll is loaded successfully by iTunes.
cimport libc.stdio      as stdio

cdef extern from "iTunesAPI/iTunesAPI.h":

    ctypedef int    OSType
    ctypedef int    OSStatus

    ctypedef struct PluginMessageInfo:
        pass

    int             unimpErr

cdef public OSStatus iTunesPluginMain( OSType               message,
                                       PluginMessageInfo*   messageInfo,
                                       void*                refCon ):
    cdef stdio.FILE*    fl = stdio.fopen('C:/itunes_cyplugin_feedback.txt', 'wb')
    return unimpErr

But adding a Python-expression will cause iTunes to crash, e.g:
# ...

cdef public OSStatus iTunesPluginMain( OSType               message,
                                       PluginMessageInfo*   messageInfo,
                                       void*                refCon ):
    object()
    return unimpErr

Do you have an idea of why this causes a crash?

Edit [2012/02/13]
I just got the idea Why not try it in C?, and so I did. And it doesn't work either, iTunes still crashes. Maybe I should rename the question to "How to embed Python into iTunes?" ..
EDIT: The pure C implementation now does not cause iTunes to crash, but I dunno what I did wrong last time.
#include "iTunesAPI/iTunesAPI.h"
#include <Python.h>

__declspec(dllexport) OSStatus iTunesPluginMain(OSType              message,
                                                PluginMessageInfo*  msgInfo,
                                                void*               refCon) {
    Py_Initialize();
    PyObject* op = Py_BuildValue("i", 123);
    Py_Finalize();
    return unimpErr;
}

A: After seeing the backtrace, i don't see any other python call. And then an idea came in my head: since you are trying to do a itunes plugin (C) with Cython (Python), the Python interpreter might not be initialized. You need to create an intermediate C file for bootstraping the python interpreter and initialize the cython module before actually using it:
In the main.c:
#include <Python.h>
#include "../iTunesAPI/iTunesAPI.h"
#include "pytunes.c"

__declspec(dllexport) OSStatus iTunesPluginMain( OSType             message,
                                                 PluginMessageInfo* msgInfo,
                                                 void*              refCon ) {
    Py_Initialize();
    PyEval_InitThreads();
    initpytunes();
    return PyTunes_main(message, msgInfo, refCon);
}

And in your pytunes.pyx:
cdef extern from "../iTunesAPI/iTunesAPI.h":

    ctypedef int        OSType
    ctypedef int        OSStatus

    ctypedef struct PluginMessageInfo:
        pass

    int unimpErr

cdef public int PyTunes_main(   OSType               message,
                                PluginMessageInfo*   msgInfo,
                                void*                refCon ):
    object()
    return 0

Now the python interpreter will be safely initialized, and cython extension too, before calling the cython/c function :)


Marks & Spencer has posted a 2.6% increase in sales in the first half of its financial year, with chief executive Steve Rowe saying that the business has made "good progress in remedying the immediate and burning issues" at the retailer. Here's how the analysts saw it.
"Archie Norman's appointment as chairman earlier this year prompted a sharp upwards move in the share price, and this is beginning to seem justified, given his 'unvarnished truth' approach to the situation in which M&S finds itself. Although the prospect of a five-year turnaround programme might not seem to promise rewards as rapidly as some might like, we would hope for considerably fleshed-out plans in 2018 that may encourage the market to believe that M&S can grow sales (modestly) and can generate and return cash (plentifully)."

Q: Malloc involving structures Fine, let me wipe this question and try again:
I have two structures defined as follows:
LangData
typedef struct
{
    char languageName[60];
    char stopwords[2000][60];
    int wordcount;
} LangData;

The first structure contains the name of a language, a list of words corresponding to that language, and a counter to track the number of words.
AllData
typedef struct
{
    int languageCount;
    LangData languages[];
} AllData;

The second structure contains primarily an array of the first structure, and a counter to keep track of the number of languages I am working with.
I need to dynamically allocate space for languages[] because there is not a specific number of languages I am dealing with.
This is what I have done to try and solve the issue, but I am unsure if it is correct. It is one of many areas within my code that could be causing issues and I am trying to pinpoint the problem
int langCount = 0;

while(readdir(d)) //d is a directory containing language files.
  langCount++;

AllData *data = malloc(offsetof(AllData, languages) +
        sizeof(LangData)*langCount);
data->languageCount = langCount;

A: The nested structure is not a pointer, so there is no need to allocate it. For the AllData struct use:
AllData *all = malloc ( sizeof(*all));

Edit:
Just seen that you are using the nested one as array. Just allocate the nested structure in the same way as the other one after you allocated AllData:
all->langdata = malloc ( sizeof(*all->langdata) * n);

Where n is the number of elements...
I would also change the definition from LangData lang[] to LangData *data


I downloaded this app on a trip because I needed a white noise machine. I am not sure how I picked this one for that, because it has SO much more than that. They have a lot of different sounds and noises to use as well as some free lessons and guided meditation programs to help you with many different issues. Some examples are Better Sleep Program, Deep Sleep Program, Understanding Your Dreams, Stress and Anxiety Relief, Attentiveness, Confidence and a lot more. It is a fun app to play around with the many free features.
I ended up paying for the pro version, I did this while I was half asleep one night and wanted another meditation so I just paid for the pro version, which is $19 I think. Which is not something I would have done when I was fully awake. However, I do use this app on a regular basis, usually in the middle of the night if I wake up and can't fall back asleep. So I have been enjoying it and feel I have gotten my money's worth.
Definitely check out the free features they are great and if you want more, go for it!
Phase 1: Sing "I am a Child of God" and imagine the steps of grounding and shielding as you sing!
Repeat until your timer dings!
Now sit quietly and just allow space for your thoughts to float by.
It doesn't matter how long you do this for, just try it!

Sobór Zaśnięcia Matki Bożej, Katedra Zaśnięcia Matki Bożej – prawosławny sobór katedralny w Klużu-Napoce, katedra metropolii Klużu, Marmaroszu i Sălaju Rumuńskiego Kościoła Prawosławnego.

Historia
Świątynia została wzniesiona z inicjatywy biskupa Klużu Mikołaja. Projekt cerkwi został wybrany w drodze konkursu, w którym zwycięstwo odniósł plan przedstawiony przez architektów Gheorghe'a Cristinela i Constantina Pomponiu. Budowa soboru trwała od 1923 do 1933. Freski i inne elementy dekoracyjne we wnętrzu świątyni wykonali Anastase Demian, Catul Bogdan, Gheorghe Reussu oraz Alexandru Dimitriu.

Wzniesienie cerkwi miało znaczenie symboliczne, miało upamiętnić zjednoczenie Siedmiogrodu z pozostałymi ziemiami rumuńskimi w jednym państwie narodowym. Gotowy sobór poświęcił 5 listopada 1933 patriarcha rumuński Miron w asyście metropolity Siedmiogrodu Mikołaja oraz biskupa Klużu Mikołaja. W ceremonii brali udział król Rumunii Karol II, następca tronu Michał, członkowie rumuńskiego rządu.

Sobór w Klużu-Napoce łączy elementy regionalnej architektury sakralnej z wyraźnymi wpływami sztuki bizantyńskiej, m.in. główną kopułę obiektu zaprojektowano na wzór analogicznej konstrukcji w konstantynopolitańskiej świątyni Mądrości Bożej. Po bokach obszernej nawy cerkiewnej znajdują się balkony, natomiast nad wejściem – balkon przeznaczony dla chóru. Całość wspiera się na osiemnastu kolumnach. Świątynia posiada cztery wieże.

W 1973, w związku z nadaniem eparchii Kluż statusu archieparchii, budowla stała się katedrą arcybiskupią. Od 2006 jest katedrą archieparchii Vadu, Feleac i Klużu i równocześnie metropolii Klużu, Marmaroszu i Sălaju.

Age UK comment on ONS stats on life expectancy
ONS statistics released today show that in 2007-9 men had a 68.4 per cent chance of surviving until the age of 75 and women had a 78.6 per cent chance of surviving until the age of 75. This is an increase from the 2003-5 figures which were 65.1 per cent and 76.5 per cent respectively.
In response to the figures, Michelle Mitchell, charity director at Age UK said:
'It's good news that overall the probability of living up to the age of 75 continues to improve and more of us can expect to live longer lives than ever before.
'Disappointingly there remain considerable gaps in life expectancy across the country, with men in South Buckinghamshire almost 25 percentage points more likely to live to 75 than men in Manchester. These wide variations highlight the huge disparity in the general health of people living in different areas of the country.
'As the state pension rises to 66 by 2020, it is people living in poorer areas with lower life expectancies who will see their retirements cut short. With such wide gaps the Government should be extremely cautious about proposals for further increases to the State Pension Age and ensure that people with the poorest health and low life expectancy are not disadvantaged'

Hello, my name is Mackey Phillips and I am 48 years old.
I wish I could stand here and tell you I didn't graduate from high school back in 1987 like I was supposed to because school was just boring or I had better things to do...that was not the case for me. You see, I was about 5 years old when I was diagnosed to be extremely hyperactive….Today, it's called ADHD.
Having ADHD caused me a lot of problems. As a matter of fact, I was held back in Kindergarten because I just didn't play well with other kids. And I could not sit still in class. That's what Kindergarten TWICE through sixth grade was like for me. I got in a lot of fights, and I got suspended a lot. I did not do good in school, but the teachers pushed me through anyway. In the 7th grade, I started smoking pot and cigarettes and got kicked out of Walters Jr High and had to go to Mr. Dillon Continuation. In the 8th grade, I went back to Walters Jr High just to be kicked out in the first two weeks. In the 9th grade, I attended Kennedy High in Fremont. I went to high school just to cut class, smoke pot, and get in trouble. So at the end of the 9th grade, I was asked not to come back so I dropped out...and that led me to a lifetime of addiction, breaking the law, not being able to hold a job, and getting in and out of state prisons.
In 2015, I was sentenced to do 6 years in the Santa Clara County Jail. That's when I truly understood that if I didn't do whatever it took to change my life, I would spend the rest of my life alone and probably die in some prison. And so I started taking steps toward bettering my life. One of the changes I knew I had to make was I had to get a high school education...that's when Ms. Denise came into my life and even though I struggled in her class, she REFUSED to give up on me.
Learning was no easy task for me! I hadn't been in school since 1985 and all the math was new and foreign to me. But Ms. Denise continued to stick with me and kept encouraging me. She also had me attending an extra math class taught by Mr. Joe. Between the both of them, they helped me achieve something I never thought I would ever do---getting my HSE.
I'm finding that having an HSE is only the beginning...now I can become whatever I put my heart and mind to. I've always wanted to become a certified welder...with a high school education, I can now pursue that goal by entering a welding apprenticeship program where I can Earn While I Learn this coming July.
My testimony would be incomplete without talking about my faith. You see, the change I needed to make had to start on the inside and it started with God. I finally came to know and understand the truth of God's unfailing love for me. He loved me enough to place the right people in my path to help me through the changes I needed to make. I give glory to God for all He continues to do in my life.
Thank you Ms. Denise for all your patience, thank you Mr. Joe for all your help, thank you Sandra for standing by me for 30 years, and thank you Mom and Dad.

Tech Giant Feud Heats Up | Consumers Left Out in The Cold
Published on Thursday, December 7, 2017
By Alyx HoraceDecember 7, 2017 No Comments
Heard the drama yet?
A sizeable chunk of consumers are getting caught in the middle, being deprived of products and services because the tech giants are fighting to claim their market share.
Details please:
Google is set to pull youtube-apps from Amazon's Fire TV and the Echo Show in the coming month.
Because Amazon stopped selling some google products (namely Nest) on its platform, in addition to not granting Google Chromecast users the ability to use Prime Video, the popular streaming service.
The lack of reciprocity triggered the decision to pull YouTube on Google's part. They're hoping this will force Amazon into negotiating a truce, the likely alternative being more services are stripped in a waterfall effect.
Important to note:
The interconnectedness of services and device makers stands to hurt consumers who there to simply consume entertainment. Not to mention it'll put entertainment creators behind in their ability to reach a broader audience.
This highlights the need for a neutral platform (queue Mycroft) where there's no retaliation in seemingly unconnected departments.
There is a "Switzerland" per say when it comes to video streaming, and that's Roku. They're an independent company that carries content from all the major players – so customers can still consume content from various sources. Roku's founder, Anthony Wood, says "We're not vertically integrated like our competitors where they can't carry each other's content. So we have Amazon Instant Video and Google Play, for example."
The question then becomes what happens when similar feuds spill over into other sectors? Voice in particular–as there's fierce competition to become the go-to assistant.
Consumers shouldn't be forced to choose when side to live on.
In his BGR article, Chris Smith asks us what it really comes down to; "After all, why does it matter so much what hardware people use to use your streaming service as long as they pay for it?"
The reality is, this feud showcases just how much power these companies have; whether that's in the e-commerce realm or arena of entertainment and media. Each is acting in ways to make their products the staple of consumers life's going forward, despite the obvious consequence of hurting their consumers.

Not all man and van companies are the same. Many are run by people who carry out moves in their spare time, and a large number of them will only offer a basic service. Frequently this also means that not only are they not overly experienced but they are also uninsured. When you are putting movers in charge of your possessions, you want to know that you can trust them at every step along the way.
Eco Movers takes pride in its reputation for a high quality service, so the packing materials, restraints and safety precautions that others may overlook, form part of our fundamentals. Eco Movers delivers a quality service at competitive prices, with fully trained staff. Subject to contract terms, our basic price includes liability for up to £40 per item and for a modest extra charge we will provide Full Value Protection for whatever amount you nominate, up to £35 million.


Calix's unique, patented "Calix Flash Calcination" or "CFC" technology re-invents the kiln. Our CFC process involves grinding minerals to around one thousandth of a millimetre in size, and then "flash" heating them in a very short time at up to 800 C. As trapped gases in the mineral "bubble out" of the particles, we snap freeze them in a very high energy state, leaving a very porous, honey-comb-like structure. New materials produced by our CFC are proving to have similar properties to highly active nano-materials, without the safety concerns and high cost, but with all the benefits that nano technology is developing into numerous products, applications and markets.
The Calix Flash Calciner (CFC) has been successfully scaled to commercial (30kTpa) production, and we are continuing to find new materials and applications with a rich development pipeline.
Calix has joined a consortium of industry leaders across Europe with the goal of developing a breakthrough carbon capture technology that would enable both Europe's cement and lime industries to reduce their carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions dramatically without significant energy or capital penalty. Find out more about the LEILAC (Low Emissions Intensity Lime and Cement) project here.

This Sunday, the 27th October, my sister Wendy married Paul Costa. I couldn't concentrate on sketching all that much, with so many people to talk to, but here's one of my mum giving her speech. Wendy really was the best surprise ever; at the age of 13 I was so horrified to discover that my mother was expecting a baby that I couldn't tell my friends; at 14, I wrote of her in my diary with adolescent drama, 'now I know what love is'. Aahh.
