Angels Fallen (Movie Review)
January 7, 2020 Angels Fallen (Movie Review)

The angels are the enemy in Angels Fallen, a brand new blend of paranormal thrills and otherworldly action. Uncork'd Entertainment deliver the film to DVD and Digital on Tuesday, January 14, 2020.
The sinister angels have landed and they are amassing a demon army. This information spurs demon hunter Gabriel (Houston Rhines: Criminal Minds series, Brooklyn Nine-Nine series) into action, bringing him out of early retirement and persuading him to reunite with his former team. Joined by his estranged best friend Michael (Michael Teh: Sleepy Hollow series, Criminal Minds series), alchemist and seer Hannah (Nicola Posener: Mythica: The Necromancer 2015, The Bold and the Beautiful series), feisty entrepreneur Ty (William Legue: Bron/Broen 2011, The Fat and the Angry mini-series), and tracking specialist Lola (Li Jing: Pacific Rim 2013, Aquaman 2018), the quintet immediately jumps into action.
Angel Fallen still.
Traveling deep into unknown regions of Europe, the motley crew of hunters must confront the forces of evil if they hope to discover the hidden angels and prevent the end of days. But if they failed at containing the demons before, how are they supposed to fight the even more powerful angels? Some will fall as the group fight for the future of humanity, and failure is not an option!
Clocking in at 87 minutes, Angels Fallen was directed by Ali Zamani (EuroClub 2016, Opus of an Angel 2017) and written by Amanda Barton (The Amityville Terror 2016). The film also features the acting talents of Michael Madsen (Kill Bill: Vol. 1 2003, The Hateful Eight 2015); Eric Roberts (The Dark Knight 2008, Head Full of Honey 2018); Alexander Dean Williams (The Land 2016, Gray Ground mini-series); Caroline Amiguet (Lucy short 2012, Love All You Have Left 2017); Ivy Natalia (Vatos Locos video 2011, Bond of Justice: Kizuna 2019); Hailey Hermida (The Predator, Altered Carbon series); Tommy Nash (Abducted 2014, Bad Guys 2015); Scott Anthony Gould (The Amityville Terror 2016, Dolls 2019); and more.
Unfortunately for Angels Fallen, this is a film that treads water in its first act—and even manages to offer some well-done CGI work—and then simply implodes in its second and third acts. Underlying every poor choice made in the production of the film sits the issue of its screenplay, one that has only the basest concept (ragtag group of demon hunters battle sinister angels). Because of this, character development is generally poor, with only the slightest dusting of backstory here and there to prevent viewers from saying that all of the characters are flat.
This all creates a film that more often than not seesaws between decently executed choices, such as the wildfire like sparks that announce the destruction of a demon, and the inclusion of sheer ridiculousness like a demonic doll in a Hannibal Lecter mask (no joke!). Add to this sloppy moments where the character dialogue is barely audible, cheesy props (a rubber cobra makes an appearance!), and more, and one cannot help but feel that a myriad of poor decisions were made in the film's production.
Sadly, these choices and the overall lack of attention to detail cheapen what might have been a median offering in the Paranormal/Fantasy Action field. In fact, the film begins with tastefully done CGI and effects that heighten the experience before they sadly snowball into overuse by the second act. This is largely due to the fact that the action is intended to propel the film from scene to scene, an attempt to excuse the flimsy screenplay. A dam cracks, the team are attacked by pizza-faced demons, mysterious swarms, and a killer doll, and ultimately this all ends with a denouement that you can smell a mile off.
Fortunately, the acting is largely well-done throughout. Keep in mind that the top-billed actors, Madsen and Roberts, have bit parts, but the remainder of the cast are almost all well-equipped to handle their roles. The one exception being Rhines, who is a bit stiff as lead Gabriel. At times he tries a little too hard to come across as aggressive, scrunching his face dramatically and trying to assert an imposing physical presence even in non-fight scenes. Often stone-faced and depicting little emotion, Rhines is not a bad actor by any stretch, but, whether intentional or not, his performance here is a bit one-dimensional.
Quite the opposite, Teh's Michael is depicted with a suave finesse that makes him entirely believable as being otherworldly. Meanwhile, Legue seems to have fun with his role as the flirty Ty, and Jing delivers her sour-faced Lola with as much flare as the flat character will allow. Posener, therefore, is the second stand out on the team. Her Hannah is a talented alchemist and gifted scryer, a decently-crafted female lead that allows Posener to show off her acting chops.
Then there is the issue of the character Jem, portrayed by Ivy Natalia. A stunningly beautiful actress, Natalia does the very best with what she's given (which is the evil sex kitten trope), though one cannot help but feel that her entire purpose in the film is to be topless for a few seconds. No judgement intended, but her character could have been so much more. And the same can be said for the vile Valentina, portrayed by Amiguet, who comes across more like a bitter ex-girlfriend than a bad-ass demoness.
All of this said, Angels Fallen is not unwatchable. Hackneyed and fraught with poor choices, the film still manages to have its moments—particularly in its first act. With a myriad of issues cheapening the overall product, but a largely impressive cast, Angels Fallen feels like a SyFy Original: banal, but with good intentions. For this, Cryptic Rock give Angels Fallen 3 of 5 stars.

Situated in the South of England, on a large country estate around an hour from London, Brockwood Park School students and teachers live, work, play and inquire together, caring for the estate and grounds themselves. The school has an active environmental programme and is vegetarian, using organic ingredients wherever possible, many of them from the school's own organic garden.
As an international boarding school, students come from over 20 different countries and the mix of cultures provides excellent opportunities to learn other languages and make international friends. With around up to 75 students aged 14 to 19, the school has the feel of a large family rather than a boarding school.
All students have an individual timetable and may prepare for university entrance examinations by taking A / AS levels or SATs, focus on EAL certification or develop their own projects and portfolios in keeping with their particular talents and interests. In all cases, assessment of each student is by written and verbal reports, rather than grades. Classes have 7 students on average, so teachers can give individual attention to each student.
After leaving Brockwood, most students continue their education at university or at a further education college; generally in the UK, US, Europe or in their home countries. The admissions criteria for further education can be based on a number of factors, including consideration of the subjects studied and exams grades obtained, personal interviews/auditions and coursework/portfolios. The acceptance of our students by universities or colleges has never been an issue as Admissions Officers tend to look at the whole person and this is where Brockwood students often have an advantage.
Students gain both a good academic education and one that nurtures in them human qualities such as affection, self-knowledge, creativity, integrity and co-operation. Students are invited to discuss conformity, anger, fear and relationship just as readily as they are required to study Mathematics, English and Science.


Jeffery Duplessis has a passion for nonprofits. After spending some 20 years in the media, he is now communications and training coordinator at the Mississippi Center for Nonprofits in Jackson helping others launch their charitable concerns.
He said he finds his work immensely rewarding, but has seen too many individuals who have started working toward opening a nonprofit only to stumble. Duplessis' advice to others looking to establish a non-profit organization is simple — stay true to the cause and be prepared to see the process through to the end.
So, what are the steps to starting a charitable concern? The first stop is the Secretary of State's Office.
Nonprofits operating in Mississippi must obtain legal incorporation through the SoS. In addition, the SoS must approve the prospective nonprofit's right to solicit money. Gaining approvals usually takes less than a month and each requires a $50 fee.
After clearing the SoS, the next step is to craft a nonprofit plan. This is similar to creating a business plan for a for-profit concern, but there are differences. For instance, a prospective nonprofit must outline its bylaws, which spells out exactly how the nonprofit will operate. This can take time, though the Mississippi Center for Nonprofits and other organizations offer a bylaws template at no cost.
The prospective nonprofit must also choose a board of directors, a process that requires time and forethought. Duplessis said it is important to create a board whose members are in unison with the mission of the nonprofit, but who also offer diversity. Landing board members with, say, expertise in accounting, finance and/or law will give the nonprofit much-needed brainpower when it is up and running.
The bylaws also need to spell out the details of funding — how will money be solicited and from where are key questions that ust be answered.
With the SoS' blessing and the bylaws in place, prospects then must meet federal requirements. Step one is to obtain an employer identification number. This is, in essence, a Social Security number for businesses, and generally takes two months or less to obtain.
Prospective nonprofits also must get tax-exempt status from the IRS. This final step is not required, but an organization without tax-exemption will be limited in their fundraising ability. "Without it, you are limited to conducting cupcake sales and those kinds of things," Duplessis said.
There is good news here. The IRS has required nonprofits looking for 501 (c)(3) status to file Form 1023. However, in June the IRS began offering a 1023EZ. That change means that prospective nonprofits must fill out a three-page form as opposed to the 12 pages that were once required.
Still, the IRS step is not quick or cheap. Approval can take three to four months, and the fee is $400.
For those who find all of these steps too much to undertake, the Mississippi Centers for Nonprofits offers consultants who can help with part or all of the process. It is not free, but can save peace of mind and help insure that all of the requirements are met.
The Center offers regular workshops to help ease the pain. The next scheduled event, titled "The Right Way to Start Your Nonprofit," will be held from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. at the Center 201 West Capitol Street, Suite 700, in Jackson. The cost is $139, which includes what Duplessis calls the "Bible of nonprofits," a publication that spells out the entire start-up process in detail.

Goodwell, Okla. — Oklahoma Panhandle State University Head Football Coach, Russell Gaskamp, announced his resignation today. Gaskamp, Head Coach of the Aggie Football Team since 2012, is moving on to other opportunities after leading the Aggies to a 6-5 season and an appearance in the Sooner Athletic Conference championship game.
Athletic Director Meghan Mulcahy stated, "I appreciate everything that Russell has done for the OPSU campus and the community. He has taken the football team and turned into one of national recognition while supporting the local community. He will be greatly missed by the athletic department, and we wish him nothing but the best in the future."
Coach Gaskamp was instrumental in the Aggies transition to the NAIA, and posted a record of 7-3 in the Aggies first NAIA season in 2017. Coach Gaskamp's record while at OPSU was 35-38 over seven years.
Prior to his time at OPSU, Coach Gaskamp spent seven years coaching in the Lone Star Conference, including stops at Angelo State University, Southwestern Oklahoma State University, Texas A&M University-Commerce, and Sam Houston State University.
"I believe he will have many more years of success as a football coach," added Faltyn.
Gaskamp is a native of Weatherford, Oklahoma and a former center for the University of Texas Longhorns.

Has Germany Finally Understood its Far-Right Threat?
Last updated on November 28th, 2019
Could the most significant lesson Germany takes away from 2019 be that it has finally accepted vastly underestimating the threat posed by the country's far right?
In June 2019, pro-refugee CDU regional politician Walter Lübke was murdered by a gunman while at home. The perpetrator was a right-wing extremist. In October, on the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur, a right-wing antisemite attempted to massacre Jews in a synagogue in Halle. The attacker was unable to get into the synagogue, preventing a mass shooting, though shortly afterwards he killed two people.
The statistics are as miserable as they are telling: in the first half of 2019 there were 8,605 crimes committed by the far right. This is 900 up on the first half of 2018. Some experts estimate the real numbers are much higher. In 2018, Germany's domestic security service announced there were 24,000 right-wing extremists in Germany, with 12,700 seen as "violence-oriented". If German is finally waking up to the act that the far right is major threat, it's less clear exactly how the country will deal with it.
Indeed, how could it be anything but unclear when the anti-Islam, anti-immigrant racist AfD (Alternative for Germany) is represented in the national as well as regional parliaments. The rise of the AfD since 2015 has been accompanied by a clear increase in racist rhetoric – including in Chancellor Merkel's own centre-right CDU and in its Bavarian sister party, the CSU. Of course, as a Britain mired in Brexit knows full well, for example, German is not the only country in which racist language has become depressingly familiar in the popular discourse.
In recent weeks, however, the German government has come out with new measures it hopes will combat the threat from the radical right. Gun laws will be tightened, anti-right-wing extremist programmes will be beefed up and the likes of Facebook, Twitter and YouTube will be forced to report hate speech to German authorities.
The truth is, such measures are too little too late. Similar to France and the UK, Germany has focused disproportionally on its Muslim minorities, seeing potential terrorists from the community around every corner. This, after all, is the country in which far-right terror group the NSU murdered ten people between 2000 and 2007 at the same time as police were insisting that the far-right posed little threat. Nine of the ten victims had foreign heritages.
Such an attitude should have been exposed as catastrophically mistaken more than a decade ago. It remains to be seen whether 2019 proves to be the year that Germany finally grasped the extent of its far-right threat.

Q: LC-3 Assembly Language - swapping values How can I swap to values in an address. Currently I have 2 registers which contain the addresses. I then had 2 temporary variables which stores those addresses. I then loaded the values since I have the address. But I can not figure out how to swap the values. I am trying to do bubble sort. The code below is what I currently have
IF          ;swapping condition
   ST R2,idata    ;temporily hold the smaller data
   ST R1,imindata ;temporaily hold the larger data
   ST R2,iminaddres ;store the values into that address
   ST R2,iaddress   ;finish the swaping of the two values
   LD R1,iminaddres ;reput the address back into the register
   LD R2,iaddres    ;reput the address back into the register to be used for next cycle

A: How would you do it in C?
temp = a;
a = b;
b = temp;

Then understand there is a need to load those values from memory, which changes things a bit
tempa = a;
tempb = b;
b = tempa;
a = tempb;

then isolate the loads and stores
rega <= load(a);
regb <= load(b);
store(a) <= regb;
store(b) <= rega;

then implement that in assembly.  This smells like a homework assignment so I wont do it for you.

A: If all you want to do is swap the contents of two registers, there's a simple bit-twiddling trick:
XOR R1,R2
XOR R2,R1
XOR R1,R2

This will exchange the contents of the two registers without using any memory.

Q: XOR Encrypted Message length is showing wrongly in C Im Encrypting the Original Messages using XOR algorithm by following code in C program. And Finally it gives another different value that message has encrypted. It should return same length even after the message has encrypted.
But, Using strlen(encrypted) it gives less value than original message length. I couldn't recognize why the length of XOR encrypted message is showing less than the original message length. Please find the following the code to solve my problem.
Thanks in Advance!
#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<string.h>

char* XORCipher(char* data, char* key, int dataLen, int keyLen) {
    char* output = (char*)malloc(sizeof(char)*dataLen);

    for(int i = 0; i < dataLen; ++i) {
      output[i] = data[i] ^ key[i % keyLen];
    }

    return output;
}

int main(){

char *msg = "This is a Message from Boss";
char *key = "nandha";

int dataLen = strlen(msg);
int keyLen = strlen(key);

char *encrypt = XORCipher(msg,key,dataLen,keyLen);
printf("\nEncrypted msg is :\n %s",(char*)encrypt);

//The Length of encrypted char size is showing wrongly.
printf("size of Encrypted msg is: %d\n",strlen(encrypt));

encrypt = XORCipher(encrypt,key,strlen(encrypt),keyLen);
printf("\nOriginal msg converted is : %s\n",encrypt);

return 0;

}

A: When you perform these XOR operations on your string, the resulting values could fall outside the range of printable characters.  In particular, if a plaintext character happens to match the key character used to encode it the result will be 0.
In C, a string is actually a sequence of characters terminated by a null byte, i.e. a byte with value 0.  Any function that operates on strings looks for this byte to denote the end of the string.
Because your encoding can generate null bytes, your encrypted message is not a string but an array of bytes.  Attempting to use a string function on the encrypted message can cause it to stop processing in the middle of the message if it contains a null byte.  If the message does not contain a null byte, these string functions will continue to read past the end of the character array until it finds one.  Reading past the end of an array or dynamically allocated block of memory invoked undefined behavior.
You need some other way to know how long the encrypted message is.  In the case of the XOR encoding you're doing this is easy: the length of the ciphertext is the same as the length of the plaintext.  So when decoding, pass in dataLen for the ciphertext length.  To print the ciphertext, you need to loop through the bytes and print each one individually rather that trying to print it as a string (which it is not).
Also, after you've decoded, you still don't have a string because there was no null terminating byte added to the end of the decrypted message.  You can do this manually after calling decrypting:
// pass in plaintext length as ciphertext length since they are the same
encrypt = XORCipher(encrypt,key,dataLen,keyLen);
// null terminate decrypted string
encrypt[dataLen] = '\0';

The buffer allocated inside of XORCipher doesn't currently allocate enough space for the null terminator, so you need to increase this by  1 to allow for this:
// no need to cast the return value of malloc
// sizeof(char) is guaranteed to be 1, so no need to multiply by it
char* output = malloc(dataLen + 1);

A: C strings are character arrays that are null terminated. When you allocate your encrypted array with the length of the string, you don't leave room for null termination, so strlen is unable to tell when the string ends, thinking the string ends outside of the actual memory that you allocated. This modification to your xor function will make it work.
char* XORCipher(char* data, char* key, int dataLen, int keyLen) {
    char* output = (char*)malloc(sizeof(char)*dataLen+1);
    output[dateLen] = 0;
    for(int i = 0; i < dataLen; ++i) {
        output[i] = data[i] ^ key[i % keyLen];
    }
    return output;
}

Additionally, if you're xor function gives 0 as an output, strlen will see that as the end of the string, which would give you a string length shorter than the expected output.
Update: I have tested the code and it works.
char* XORCipher(char* data, char* key, unsigned long dataLen, unsigned long keyLen) {
    char* output = (char*)malloc(sizeof(char)*dataLen+1);
    output[dataLen] = 0;
    for(int i = 0; i < dataLen; ++i) {
        output[i] = data[i] ^ key[i % keyLen];
    }
    return output;
}

void printLn(char* toPrint, unsigned long len){
    for (unsigned long i = 0; i < len; i++) {
        printf("%c", toPrint[i]);
    }
    printf("\n");
}

int main(){

    char *msg = "This is a Message from Boss";
    char *key = "nandha";

    unsigned long dataLen = strlen(msg);
    unsigned long keyLen = strlen(key);

    printLn(msg, dataLen);
    char* xorMessage = XORCipher(msg, key, dataLen, keyLen);
    printLn(xorMessage, dataLen);
    xorMessage = XORCipher(xorMessage, key, dataLen, keyLen);
    printLn(xorMessage, dataLen);

    return 0;
}

Be reminded that xoring can result in null characters in the array that you've allocated, resulting in a terminating character which you might have not intended. To compensate for this, I have added a function to print out based on length since you know this information based on your msg. After xoring twice you should have your original string back, which I my code verified.

Any referral/recruitment rewards of ships are typically not upgradable or reclaimable. These are also virtual items, displayed in-game but not in your My Hangar or pledge list on our site.


Tired of spending countless hours cutting heavy defects out of the paint? Who isn't? For the past few years CarPro has been working towards creating a fast and heavy cutting compound, vastly more aggressive than any compound CarPro has produced before! The result is.... CarPro ClearCut! CarPro ClearCut is the compound you reach for BEFORE your finishing polish, such as Reflect! CarPro ClearCut was developed to QUICKLY remove defects whilst allowing you to easily view your work through the polish. Within 1-2 passes you can begin to watch the defects literally disappear before your eyes as the compound begins to become transparent. This allows you to continue cutting as needed OR stop as soon as the defects are removed and you find yourself ready for finishing polish. In some cases and with the correct combinations this incredible next-gen compound may also be used as a 1 step product!
CarPro ClearCut is an extremely fast acting liquid abrasive built from the ground up for efficiency, performance, and speed! Unlike other popular compounds on the market ClearCut doesn't fool you by swelling the paint or hiding water spots and scratches just to see them re-surface later! With NO fillers ClearCut wipes off fully and a simple Eraser wipe down EASILY removes any lubricants.
Unlike compounds of the past, CarPro ClearCut has its own method of application for optimal results... reversing the traditional "heavy to light" method, we start with lighter pressure and finish heavy! Additionally I find myself using a bit more compound with ClearCut than I do with traditional compounds. While ClearCut cuts like a Ginsu, it is also low dusting and wipes off with ease! Say goodbye to hours of wasted time and hello to efficiency and less labor costs!

Q: How do I convert a quadratic form to a diagonal form? I don't understand how I should choose the transformations to convert a quadratic form to a diagonal form.
Ex: $x_1\cdot x_2 + x_1\cdot x_3 + x_2\cdot x_3$

A: If you just need the final diagonal form, then finding the eigenvalues, as in Joanpemo's answer, suffices. To find the transformation that produces this form, you'll also have to find corresponding eigenvectors—solve the equations $(A-I)v=0$ and $(A+\frac12I)v=0$—and then produce an orthonormal basis from them.
Since the matrix you're working with is real symmetic and thus diagonalizable, you'll be able to find two linearly independent eigenvectors corresponding to  $-\frac12$. The eigenspaces of the two eigenvalues are orthogonal, so you can use the Gram-Schmidt process to produce the necessary orthonormal basis. Alternatively, since we're working in $\mathbb R^3$, you can take the cross product of the eigenvector that you found for the eigenvalue $1$ with either of the eigenvectors that you found for $-\frac12$ and then normalize these three vectors. Once you have this orthonormal basis, the matrix of the diagonalizing transformation has these basis vectors as its columns. From there, you can read off the transformation in coordinate form, if necessary.

A: Take the form's matrix and diagonalize it. It is always possible to do since the matrix will be, of course, symmetric:
$$A=\begin{pmatrix}0&\frac12&\frac12\\\frac12&0&\frac12\\\frac12&\frac12&0\end{pmatrix}\implies \det(xI-A)=\begin{vmatrix}x&-\frac12&-\frac12\\-\frac12&x&-\frac12\\-\frac12&-\frac12&x\end{vmatrix}=x^3-\frac14-\frac34x=$$
$$(x-1)\left(x^2+x+\frac14\right)=(x-1)\left(x+\frac12\right)^2\implies\text{the matrix's diagonalization is}$$
$$\begin{pmatrix}1&0&0\\0&-\frac12&0\\0&0&-\frac12\end{pmatrix}$$
so your form can be expressed with new variables as
$$x^2-\frac12y^2-\frac12z^2$$

A: Let $p = x_1x_2 + x_1x_3 + x_2x_3$
Let $x_2 = y + x_1 \Leftrightarrow y = x_2 - x_1$
$p = x_1 (y+x_1) + x_1x_3 + (y+x_1)x_3 \\ \ \ = (x_1 + 0.5y + x_3)^2 - (0.5y)^2 - {x_3}^2 \\ \ \ = (0.5x_1 + 0.5x_2 + x_3)^2 - (0.5x_1 - 0.5x_2)^2 - {x_3}^2$

With a lot of wireless speakers available on the market today, it may be difficult to choose which is the greatest for the circumstances. The next information highlights five points to consider when considering Wireless speakers, with these issues in your mind, you need to narrow the options down a good deal. But before buying the speakers, you should never forget to read the Big Blue Party Review to know more and pick the best one for you.
Where are you going to use your speaker? Would you like to take along with you whenever you go picnicking or camping, or would you like a tool that may perform the music on your smartphone, notebook, and sometimes even iPod at work or in the home? Wireless speakers are available in all styles, therefore it is very important to bear in mind what use you intend to place your speaker to.
Level of volume and the effects that you would like to have in the speakers is very much concerned. Do you want to have music to boost at events, or would you would like to utilize it to get a little bit of music publishing or while reading? Higher amounts typically require higher power results; therefore it is very important to examine how much energy the speakers you are considering can make.
Are you an audiophile who is looking for someone who values comfort over audio quality, or a portable speaker? Obviously, if you are an audiophile, you then probably do not have to be told things to search for as it pertains to audio quality. If you are not an audiophile but might still prefer to obtain the finest audio quality feasible for speaker's size you are considering, then search for the frequency response. Frequency response can be an indication of how effectively a speaker reproduces sound. The broader the frequency response array, the higher the range of noise the speaker may reproduce with 20 Hz-20 kHz the range of human hearing. Some frequency response requirements can come with a decibel range as well.

Fast-fashion chain Primark expands sustainable cotton programme
A woman walks past a window display showing new environmentally themed posters at a Primark store in Liverpool
LONDON – Primark, one of Europe's biggest fast fashion chains, has pledged to train an additional 125,000 smallholder cotton farmers in more sustainable farming methods in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh by the end of 2023.
The group's sustainable cotton programme trains farmers on using fewer chemical pesticides and fertilisers and less water, thereby preserving the biodiversity and helping to mitigate against climate change. It also lowers input costs and improves yields and profits for the farmer, the group says.
Primark, owned by London-listed Associated British Foods, said on Friday the commitment would take the total number of farmers in the programme to over 275,000 by the end of next year.
Last September, Primark vowed to cut its environmental impact by using more recyclable materials, making clothing more durable, and improving wages for workers.
It pledged that 100% of the cotton in its clothes would be sourced from its sustainable cotton programme, organic or recycled by 2027. It also committed to make all its products from recycled fibres or more sustainably sourced materials by 2030.
Currently, almost 40% of Primark clothing is made from recycled fibres or more sustainably sourced materials.
With environmental campaigners singling out the fashion industry for its heavy use of water and chemicals, major brands are coming under pressure to adapt supply chains and address a culture that has led to millions of items ending up in landfill.
Many environmental campaigners are sceptical about green pledges from brands, believing they are driven by a need for good PR and that the industry requires a wider culture change instead. Primark says its sheer size means it can make a difference.
Last month Primark said it would raise some prices as it battles inflationary pressures.

Chit-chat dialogue systems are notoriously difficult to train and still often fail to produce a coherent conversation. We talk about the main challenges of non-goal-oriented chatbots and about a dataset which can mitigate these problems by providing chatbots with a personality. We announce a competition of chatbots that introduces a new task that tests the chatbots' ability to maintain a persona. We encourage you to submit your own dialogue system or talk to other participants' chatbots.
Join ConvAI & share your intelligence with the next generation of bots!
While dialogue systems are becoming more widespread, we still need to do a great deal of work to make conversational intelligence more sophisticated. Take part in the Second Edition of The Conversational Intelligence Challenge, and get an opportunity to win $20,000 in Amazon Mechanical Turk credit.


Yesterday, more than 6,000 people received the first pack of videos from the Inform and Communicate on Social Media MOOC. Launched in partnership with Rue89 and First Business MOOC, this Massive Online Open Course is the first one on Digital Journalism in French.
Social Media is now at the heart of digital strategies in newsrooms: which content to share? How to use Twitter and Facebook? Which platforms should a publication use? All of those questions are answered in this MOOC about Social Media.
The instructor, Sophie Caillat, is a writer and teacher at Rue89, a French online news website. She started using social networks at work and is now able to share her knowledge on how to administrate a page and how to make the most of it when you are a journalist, a student or if you work in communications.
The MOOC started yesterday, it will last 4 weeks – and it is free. Every Wednesday, registered participants receive a pack of 5 10-min videos, to be watched over the week. They also have access to a forum to pose questions, interact with each other and the instructors. Every Monday, a live session, hosted by Sophie Caillat, will allow them to interact with the professor. A 5th, optional week, will give them the opportunity to put together a social media strategy and become a Social Media Editor on a study case.
This is the first of a series of 5 MOOC: the next one will be on data journalism (Sept '14) and on video storytelling (Jan '15).

 Lok Sabha Polls Inspire Bharat TV, Harvest TV?
Lok Sabha Polls Inspire Bharat TV, Harvest TV?
What seems to be the mother of all elections, the Lok Sabha 2019 polls, has provoked political parties---through members---to launch mega-million television channels in a media war that will touch new temperatures and intensity over the next weeks and months.
Two channels are already on air. No mean feat given the resources required, in terms of money and manpower. BJP Rajya Sabha MP Rajeev Chandrashekhar's company ARG Outlier Media Pvt Ltd has launched the Hindi version of Republic that they expect to have an even wider reach, and eclipse the current Hindi channels in TRP ratings and viewership by the time the elections approach. And after when the tricky business of government formation takes place, if no political party gets a full majority.
Along with it has been launched Harvest TV, owned by Veecon Media and Broadcasting Pvt Ltd that is financed by Congress Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal. This was launched on Republic Day with the slogan "Truth Matters". And as Sibal himself said, has come after a bit of a struggle over the licensing and then failure to get a Tata Sky slot which seems to have been overcome now.
Interesting that both the channels terming themselves news channels, and entrusted with free and fair news are being funded and run by key political persons. This has sparked off a debate amongst journalists whether political control over the news media is right, what can be the safeguards to check both the political and corporate funders from toying with news. And what impact this will have---as is already visible in the big media--on the truth and integrity and independence of the media.
As Chalapathi Rau , one of the doyens of journalism once said "The Hindustan Times always had one Birla for one regime. There was one in the time of Gandhi, another for the Congress and they had another for the Janata Party." So political intervention in media is not unknown but it has not been so blatant and so direct as in recent times where in the states political parties have been openly funding and controlling television channels and newspapers for a while now. Republic and now Harvest are the two big news channels now where all pretense has been dropped, and the face of the political funders is visible at the national level.
"First of all let us be clear that there is no such thing as absolute freedom of expression in this country or rather anywhere in the world" says Pawan Duggal a leading lawyer and an expert on cyber and IT crime.
Article 19 of the Constitution that guarantees freedom of speech from which we derive press freedom also tells us its limitations under the later sections, he says.
Commenting on the developments well known anchor Vinod Dua said,"We know that Sibal is from Congress and Chandrashekhar is from BJP but would it be right to technically to call the Harvest and Republic as party channels? Yes National Herald is a Congress paper and Organiser is a mouth piece of BJP."
"Frankly speaking we all know which channel is toeing which line. The dividing line between the editor and owner has vanished in the last few years in the print media and that is responsible for the state of the media today. I have no hesitation in saying today Indian newspapers are third rate as compared to papers in other countries," Dua said.
Rana Siddiqui a senior journalist says,"It is OK to launch a channel by a political party but not to aim at controlling the media. That would be unethical. There is nothing wrong in propagating the truth or the actual work fine by any party but if it becomes a tool just to shame the opposition this is not journalism. A political party news channel will only be watched by the common man if it accepts criticism and works at bettering itself."
Vishal Thapar a senior journalist and defence specialist commented, "The days of journskists as objective observers is long over. It is inevitable that journalists are politically partisan. So it's ok for Barkha Dutt and Karan Thapar to be in a Congress channel. They are undermining their own credibility as independent journalists."
Kajal Basu commented," As for Barkha Dutt and Karan Thapar (both said to be associated with Harvest news) jumping on the Congress bandwagon , I think they are counting on Rahul's FoE largesse ( which should be forthcoming at least in relation to the current dispensation's chokehold on the media)."
But there are some journalists who absolutely did not want to take sides in this debate on record. They can't be blamed either as they don't want to burn their boats and are still in the market for jobs.
There is another other section of young journalists who see the opportunities provided by new channels, regardless of the politics, as entry points for a career in journalism after which they could switch channels.
Said a young one thrilled at the exposure she is getting on a new TV set up," We should look at these openings in the media like the IPL. These hidden talents brought out by the IPL have provided so many options for the Indian team."

Minister Ryan announces the launch of a new Office: Zero Emission Vehicles Ireland
The Minister for Transport, Eamon Ryan T.D. has today launched Zero Emission Vehicles Ireland. This new Office will play an important role in Ireland's transition to zero emission vehicles. It will work across government, industry, and society to support this transition.
Its operations will include
supports for the uptake of zero emission vehicles,
infrastructure delivery through funding and policy guidance,
strategy and policy lead, including taxation and regulation,
research and innovation, and,
communications and public and stakeholder engagement.
To ensure a fair and equitable transition to large scale zero emission vehicle use, the full range of needs for people and businesses across Ireland must be met, including ensuring a just transition for those in rural, Gaeltacht and Islands area. The existing and future EV charging infrastructure network must be accessible, safe and secure, benefiting communities and serving the needs of all citizens, including older people and people with disabilities. As well as infrastructure, a range of policy measures that could increase EV uptake will be considered ensuring, for example, wider access to EVs across society.
A number of new initiatives are being launched today by Zero Emission Vehicles Ireland to support EV uptake. These will be followed in the coming months by new supports for public EV charging infrastructure.
I am delighted to announce the launch of Zero Emission Vehicle Ireland. This Office will accelerate the uptake of zero emission vehicles and help decarbonise our transport sector. There has been an increase in the purchase of EVs in Ireland so far this year, with 21% of new cars licensed being electric or plug-in hybrid electric vehicles compared with 14% at this time last year. This is a significant step change on last year and we need to continue on this pathway to reach our ambition of almost one million EVs on the roads by 2030. Our EV target is a critical solution to reducing our transport emissions, and is a key part of our strategy which also includes measures to reduce car journeys, through improved public and active transport networks. Building on this progress to date, the new Office is here to continue to drive the electrification of road transport in Ireland, addressing existing and emerging challenges and ensuring that no one is left behind as we make the change to electric. I am pleased to announce the launch of several initiatives being undertaken by Zero Emission Vehicles Ireland. In terms of infrastructure supports, the Apartment Charging Grant will be open for applications from today. The EV Home Charger grant is also being expanded from today to remove the requirement for applicants to already own an electric vehicle. In addition, Smart Chargers will be made mandatory on the EV Home charger grant from the 1st of September; this will improve safety and provide better integrations with renewable sources. To support electric vehicle uptake for businesses, a new trial will be launched today to encourage the electrification of the commercial fleet in Ireland.
Minister Ryan
Key initiatives launched today
Launch of the Apartment Charging Grant
Residential charging is the most cost effective and convenient way of charging electric vehicles and is expected to make up 80% of overall charging needs. The EV Apartment Charging grant is being launched today, for dwellings which do not have access to a driveway such as apartments, duplexes as well as mixed developments. This grant will be managed by SEAI and further information can be found here.
Expansions of the EV Home Charger Grant
The EV Home Charger grant is also being expanded from today. This will enable any tenants and homeowners to apply for a grant, whether they own an EV or not. This can also be used for visitor use or at rented accommodation. This grant is currently managed by SEAI and further information can be found here.
EV Smart Charger Register
From 1st September 2022 the Home Charger grant, administered by SEAI, will only provide funding for Smart Chargers. This will improve safety, prevent excessive electrical demand and facilitate better integration with renewable energy sources. For manufacturers and installers wishing to register their products please see this page.
EV Commercial Fleet Trial
A new trial is being launched today to promote and encourage the electrification of the commercial fleet in Ireland. This trial will afford businesses the opportunity to test an EV free of charge for a minimum period of three months. Its purpose is to show, through real world evidence, the benefits, savings and the suitability and viability of EVs in a commercial setting. To apply or to access more information please see SEAI's website here.
In-progress initiatives
Destination Charging Grant for Sports Clubs
The Shared Island Sports Club grant will provide funding to install a network of publicly accessible chargers in communities nationwide through their local sports clubs subject to certain eligibility criteria. This grant, with funding provided via the Government's Shared Island Fund, will operate on an all-island basis and provide grant funding via National Sports Governing Bodies to eligible sports clubs and centres to help defray the cost of installing publicly accessible EV charge points.
The draft National EV Strategy underwent public and stakeholder consultation earlier this year, with over 14,000 responses to the online questionnaire along with detailed written submissions received from both individuals and organisations. Responses and submissions received as part of the consultation are currently being considered in the development of the final Strategy for publication later this year. The final Strategy will also an Implementation Plan that will set out a pathway for delivery of a high quality national EV charging Infrastructure.
Re-opening of Electric Small Public Service Vehicle (eSPSV) grant
The aim of the eSPSV grant is to enable owners of small public service vehicles, such as taxis, hackneys and limousines, to buy electric vehicles, championing the electric experience for passengers and drivers in Ireland. Approximately €15m was allocated in 2022 to support SPSVs to switch to electric. The scheme is kept under continuous review and was paused to new applicants in April to allow for the drawdown and payment of provisional grant offers which usually have a time limit of three months. The scheme will now reopen for applications on 1st August 2022 and is managed by the NTA.

Colombia: European Union should insist on human rights guarantees
Amnesty International is concerned that although the the EU Presidency in effect endorsed these recommendations at the 2001 UN Commission on Human Rights, and the European Parliament has issued several resolutions calling for their implementation, the language of the recent statement does not underline the importance of these recommendations. Moreover, whilst it calls on Colombia's largest armed opposition group - Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (FARC )- to respect international humanitarian law, it does not stress the the obligation of the Colombian government to guarantee the respect of human rights.
Failure by both sides in the conflict to respect international humanitarian law and human rights not only risks weakening the peace process - both sides question each other for violations and abuses of human rights - but leaves the civilian population at risk.
'The EU should play a more positive role to ensure that human rights and international humanitarian law are prioritised within the peace process and that the civilian population is removed from the conflict,' Amnesty International said. 'Yesterday's [Thursday 17th]statement by the Presidency does not indicate that the EU is playing this role.'

Q: Keep permission to folder for next session I grant access to a specific folder using FolderPicker
FolderPicker picker = new FolderPicker();

picker.FileTypeFilter.Add("*");
StorageFolder folder = await picker.PickSingleFolderAsync();

After that app have permissions to read, create files in this specific directory. After restart app lose it's permissions. How to keep it for next session?

A: You need to use StorageApplicationPermissions.FutureAccessList which returns an instance of StorageItemAccessList object to keep the access to a file or folder for future.

Gets an object that represents a list that an app maintains so that
  the app can store files and/or locations (like folders) and easily
  access these items in the future.

Here is an example to add an item to the list:
StorageFile file = await savePicker.PickSaveFileAsync();
if (file != null)
{
    // Add to FA without metadata
    string faToken = StorageApplicationPermissions.FutureAccessList.Add(file);
}

Later, you can use the token to get an instance to the item:
var storageItem = await StorageApplicationPermissions.FutureAccessList.GetItemAsync(faToken);

Be aware that the list of future access list is limited.

This list can store up to 1000 items and must be maintained by the
  app.

Is the Fight Against Bot Ad Fraud Succeeding?
by Ayaz Nanji
Here's some good news for marketers: The amount of advertising spend lost to online bot fraud is declining, according to a recent report from White Ops and the Association of National Advertisers (ANA).
The report was based on data from the digital campaigns of 50 ANA members. The researchers examined more than 2,400 campaigns that ran across more than 600,000 domains (search and social bot fraud were not part of the analysis).
Some $5.8 billion of ad spend is expected to be lost globally to online bots this year, down from $6.5 billion in 2017, when the researchers last examined the issue. That 11% decline is particularly noteworthy because digital ad spend increased 25% globally between 2017 and 2019.
The researchers say the success in combating online bot ad fraud is being driven by a range of factors, including efforts to dismantle bot networks, more purchasing of advertising via programmatic networks with built-in fraud prevention measures, and innovations such as ads.txt that reduce spoofing.
The researchers found that although bot attempts account for 20-35% of ad online impressions, the amount of fraud that gets through and gets paid for is much smaller.
Some 8% of desktop display ad impressions are estimated to be successful bot fraud, down from 9% in 2017, and 14% of desktop video ad impressions are estimated to be successful bot fraud, down from 22% in 2017.
About the research: The report was based on data from the digital campaigns of 50 ANA members. The researchers examined more than 2,400 campaigns that ran across more than 600,000 domains (search and social bot fraud were not part of the analysis).

Understanding legal compliance for registered charities is not easy but Blumbergs is offering exciting new upcoming events in 2018 that will help.
Fundamentals of the T3010 and Transparency for Canadian charities
On Friday June 1, 2018, Blumbergs' will be holding a half-day seminar in Toronto Fundamentals of the T3010 and Transparency for Canadian charities. Every year, Canadian registered charities must file the T3010 Registered Charity Information Return with the Charities Directorate of CRA.
As of November 2018, Canadian registered charities will be able to file the T3010 online which will make the process easier and quicker. If charities do not file the form, they can be revoked by CRA for non-filing. If the T3010 is not filed accurately it can be cause for suspension of a charity's receipting privileges. This seminar will focus on the legal and operational issues and not the accounting issues. Understanding the T3010 is essential for those involved with finance and governance at charities, as well as researchers, grant writers, funders and fundraisers. Register Here.
Fundamentals of Receipting by Canadian Charities
On Tuesday September 18, 2018 Blumbergs' will be holding a half-day seminar Fundamentals of Receipting by Canadian charities in Toronto.
Properly issuing official donation receipts has been challenging for many registered charities. According to the CRA, 89% of registered charities that are audited by CRA are not correctly issuing official donation receipts. Issuing incorrect receipts can result in revocation or penalties.

cl-async - Asynchronous operations for Common Lisp
==================================================
Cl-async is a library for general purpose, non-blocking programming in Common
Lisp.  Cl-async uses [Libevent2](http://libevent.org/) as the backend, which is
a fast, stable, portable library for asynchronous IO (see my [notes on choosing Libevent](http://orthecreedence.github.com/cl-async/implementation-notes#libevent)).

The main goal is to provide an experience that makes general asynchronous
programming in lisp natural, and to also provide a number of
[drivers](http://orthecreedence.github.com/cl-async/drivers) on top of cl-async.

*This library's current status is BETA.* You will generally have a better
experience by using the git version of this library and the git version of
[the libevent2 bindings](https://github.com/orthecreedence/cl-libevent2).

__NOTE:__ In the latest Quicklisp release, CFFI was upped from 0.10.x to 0.11.0.
This version generates a bunch of type/deprecation warnings with the Quicklisp
version of cl-libevent2. If you get warnings about `(:STRUCT LE::TIMEVAL)` then
grab the latest git version of [cl-libevent2](https://github.com/orthecreedence/cl-libevent2),
which should fix these issues. You may also have to clear your ASDF cache after
doing this.

### [Documentation](http://orthecreedence.github.com/cl-async/documentation)
Please see the [cl-async website](http://orthecreedence.github.com/cl-async) for
full documentation, examples, etc.

Quick links:

- [Implementation notes](http://orthecreedence.github.com/cl-async/implementation-notes)
- [Drivers](http://orthecreedence.github.com/cl-async/drivers)

### Quicklisp
This library is now fully in quicklisp, along with its sister bindings,
[cl-libevent2](https://github.com/orthecreedence/cl-libevent2). If you want to keep up with the
most recent changes (recommended, as many bugfixes happen on master), download
from git, otherwise feel free to use the quicklisp release. Also, if using
quicklisp, be familiar with the [closed issues list](https://github.com/orthecreedence/cl-async/issues?state=closed).
An issue you're having may have already been fixed =].

### Tests
There is a fairly complete suite of tests in the `cl-async-test` package:

```common-lisp
(ql:quickload :cl-async-test)
(cl-async-test:run-tests)
```

As bugs happen (or as I remember old bugs) I'll be adding more tests.

### TODO
See the [TODO list](https://github.com/orthecreedence/cl-async/issues).

### License
As always, my code is MIT licenced. Do whatever the hell you want with it. Enjoy!

Street View of Hafod Church - Eglwys Newydd | Map of Hafod Church - Eglwys Newydd location
Hafod Church, Eglwys Newydd, is located at Cwmystwyth, Ceredigion, Wales. The first church at Hafod was built in 1620 by Morgan Herbert, one of the early Squires of the Hafod Estate. Thomas Johnes inherited the Hafod Estate in the late 18th century and established himself as a pioneer in new forestry and farming methods - his picturesque estate had become an essential destination for early visitors. He built himself a beautiful new mansion designed by Thomas Baldwin of Bath, and also wished for a more elegant church. ln 1803 he commissioned James Wyatt to design an impressive new church. Wyatt was best known as the restorer of Salisbury Cathedral and some extravagantly Gothic country houses.| There are some unusual features to this beautiful Gothic church in that the "east" window in fact faces south-west. The font, made of Coade Stone, is decorated with carved roses, the Johnes coat of Arms and figures representing the cardinal virtues. One window contained sixteenth century Flemish stained glass brought over from the Low Countries by Thomas Johnes, during the French Revolution. lt was indeed an outstanding Gothic building. | The outward appearance of the church has not changed very much but unfortunately the roof and the internal Gothic furniture, fittings and paintings were lost or badly damaged by a fire in the church, in April, 1932. The font survived amidst the charred fallen roof timbers, but tragically the beautiful marble memorial, sculpted by Sir Francis Chantrey in memory of Mariamne, the only child of Thomas Johnes, was damaged beyond repair.| Eglwys Newydd, more usually known as Hafod Church is home to a carved oak screen – a memorial to the men of Cwmystwyth who fell during the Great War. Services are held in the church at 10-30a.m. on the 1st and 2nd Sunday, of each month (as of 2013).| The church is open to the public every day between 10-30am and 4-30pm from Easter to the end of September.
