![]() ![]() Once set up, the tool will continue to carry-out the checks as scheduled until the project is removed. ![]() ![]() The results are stored in two files, a manifest which lists the files and their checksums, and a report on the outcomes of the integrity check. The tool then carries out the integrity checks automatically as scheduled and both saves the results in a nominated folder and emails them to addresses that have been added to the project. Also, although Fixity Pro does scale up reasonably well, if you are scheduling a check on a large collection you may wish to set this for a time the computer is not used for other work. Unless content is at high risk, monthly checks will likely be enough for most content. Checks can be scheduled daily, weekly, or monthly. In each project one or more folders are added and integrity checks are scheduled at regular intervals to monitor the integrity of the files in over time. The process of integrity checking with Fixity Pro revolves around the creation of “projects”. Also, we must be able to link the tool to an email account, which might be difficult for those at organizations with strict controls on their systems. The most important of which is that is only offers a choice of two checksums types, although they are two of the most popular, MD5 and SHA-256. Fixity Pro also automatically saves the results of the process in easy to interpret reports which it can email to you.įixity Pro does, however, have a few limitations. Once set-up correctly, Fixity Pro will carry out regular integrity checks and staff will only need to intervene in the process if an error is identified. The most important benefit of using Fixity Pro is that it allows for the scheduled automation of integrity checking. It, therefore, offers additional functionality to help with digital preservation tasks that other tools do not. Why Use Fixity Pro?Īs mentioned above, Fixity Pro was developed with digital preservation processes in mind. This version is still downloadable from the AVG website but technical support is no longer available. Also, unlike some other tools, Fixity Pro is available for both Windows and Mac.įixity Pro not the first version of the tool, an earlier version known as simply “Fixity” has been available for free for a number of years. There is also a full user guide available, and AVP maintains a user group forum to provide information and support. Fixity Pro can be downloaded on AVP’s website and there is a small monthly subscription cost (reduced for those who pay annually). Unlike some other integrity checking tools, it was developed specifically for the Digital Preservation community, with common processes/workflows in mind. So, time to answer the first question: What is Fixity Pro? What is Fixity Pro?įixity Pro is an integrity checking tool developed and maintained by an organization called AVP. Finally, we will examine the results that Fixity Pro produces, and how we can use this information. We will then cover how the tool works, and downloading and installing it, before going step by step through setting it up for integrity checking. ![]() We will start with an introduction to the tool and why it is useful.

![]() ![]() The Timer setting in the Regular tab of MultiTimer isn't just a timer, but uses the actual time of the day for triggering the task. Select a day to customize the timer settings, the options are identical to the ones in the Countdown screen, except for one option. This is a better way to skip timers, rather than deleting it permanently. ![]() You can toggle the box next to a timer to disable it, and re-enable it later. ![]() Don't want too many timers? Select the ones you want to discard, and click on the delete button. Click on the Add button to add a new recurring timer. By default, there are two sets of days listed, so you can set two recurring timers per day. Unlike usual programs, MultiTimer doesn't let you select a specific date, but you can set timers for each day of the week. The second tab is called Regulary, and is used for setting recurring timers. You can enable the Execute option to run commands, open files or programs. And just like the sound setting, Monitor also has the Toggle and No Action options. MultiTimer can be enabled to turn your monitor off after the timer runs out, or can be set to wake up the computer. Click on the T button next to a menu to test how it works. If you don't want it to change the volume settings, simply choose No Action. if your volume is currently on, it will mute it, or if it's muted it will be enabled. "Toggle" essentially does the same, but instead of "Off or On", it does the opposite of the current setting, i.e. So, if you set it to "Off", MultiTimer will automatically mute the computer's volume when the timer ends. This doesn't play a sound alert, instead it controls the system volume. The next setting is "Sound", which you can access from the drop-down menu. Mouse over the MultiTimer tray icon to view when the countdown is set to end.īut like I mentioned earlier, this isn't a basic timer, it can be used for advanced tasks as well. The bar at the bottom of the window indicates the progress of the timer. You can use it as a short timer for a few seconds or minutes, or a long one for up to 24 hours. The first tab is Countdown which as the name suggests lets you set a countdown timer. The program's interface is compact, and has two abs. You may want to check out other timer applications such as yTimer, Hourglass, or Digital Clock 4 for Windows that we reviewed in the past. ![]() ![]() ![]() It emerges that ownership indeed influenced news coverage in the 2002 Kenyan elections. Of note is also the use of two case studies – The Nation and The Standard newspapers to analyse 905 articles written during the 2002 multiparty Kenyan elections. The data retrieved from the internet sites of the two newspapers is then analysed to prove how ownership patterns influence daily news coverage. The researcher employs the use of thematic content analysis and coding of raw data retrieved from the internet sites of two leading Kenyan newspapers as outlined in the research methodology and findings chapters. This study critically examines how media ownership patterns, shape content in the Kenyan media. The said influence takes various forms including direct censorship and coercion of editorial staff. Various studies have proven that ownership influence do affect how journalists cover stories. Media ownership has remained an intriguing factor in understanding the news production process.

Safaricom Partners With Media Houses To Unveil Ksh 20 Digital Newspapers ![]() ![]() ![]() The show is so well known for balancing the heavy and the lighthearted with ease, so the lack of funny bone tickles is really noticeable here! That does make the premiere less enjoyable to watch than previous series standouts, but it’s also not without very clear intention from the Ted Lasso writers, and it does do its job as a premiere by successfully setting up the rest of the season.Īs expected, Season 3 kicks off with the first scuff up between Ted and Nate. Ted is hurting this year and, while it’s good to see the series explore his pain as he struggles to find purpose in his post-divorce/post-promotion world, it’s hard to engage with that pain all on its own. But the moment Keeley and Rebecca (Hannah Waddingham) reunite, the series pops its heart back on its sleeve and reminds you that the core of the series is still right where we left it in Season 2. Because this season seems to be leaning into longer episodes (around the forty-to-fifty-minute mark for those that we’ve seen so far) the opening showcasing Ted’s emotional state and the folks who are spread out into the wind feels a little drawn out. You know what it’s not missing though? That patented Ted Lasso heart. Now, while all of this is undoubtedly so everyone can come back together in their own respective ways before the Season 3 finale (this is Ted Lasso, after all), it plays as a pretty big downer in the premiere! Even the players and coaches who are close to each other logistically are kind of off in their own worlds dealing with their own stuff so far. ![]() Keeley Jones (Juno Temple) is off running her new PR firm, while Nate Shelley (Nick Mohammed) - who, as you may recall, went to the dark side at the end of Season 2 - is off trying to take West Ham to victory. Perhaps part of the struggle is how spread out everyone is in this Season 3 opener. Both of those aspects are on full display in the premiere, but it’s the humorous lens they are usually explored through that’s missing. The series has always excelled at illustrating how messy things can get as we work through the healing process, especially the fact that said healing is non-linear. ![]() Episode 12 (season three finale) "So Long, Farewell": Wednesday, May 31, 12 a.m.Coach Lasso (Jason Sudeikis) has lost a little bit of pep in his step since the end of Ted Lasso’s second season, and, Unfortunately, that seems to have rubbed off on the premiere Season 3, too.Episode 11, "Mom City": Wednesday, May 24, 12 a.m.Episode 10, "International Break": Wednesday, May 17, 12 a.m.Episode 9, "La Locker Room Aux Folles": Wednesday, May 10, 12 a.m.Episode 8, "We'll Never Have Paris": Wednesday, May 3, 12 a.m. ![]()

![]() ![]() Reporting and Conversion Tracking will be effected by iOS 14, with time lags in reporting and fewer events being measured. ![]() However, data that you already own for example subscriber email addresses, are not impacted by these changes and we suggest collecting as much data as possible that you own in order to make the best use of paid social media advertising platforms. The expectation is that brands will need to broaden their targeting to reach users. Additionally, the effect on tracking will also limit the effectiveness of Lookalike audiences. By having the chance to ‘opt-out’ brands audience pools are expected to become smaller, meaning targeting could be impacted. This leads us on to audiences and audience targeting. This will give the user the chance to opt-out more easily, as previously there was the option to do this but it was less visible and therefore had less engagement. This means any apps that have been downloaded from the App store are now required to ask the user’s permission to track their data across third-party apps or websites upon the app installation. ![]() Therefore we’ve decided to explain what iOS 14 means to your brand and what changes you can expect in 2021.Īpple is making huge changes to tracking in an attempt to protect a user’s privacy. This means marketers will have less access to audience data for campaigns which could affect their results.Īpple has announced that these changes will come into play in ‘early spring’ and the majority of communication about this change has largely been focused on developers – as such, navigating any documentary that has been provided tends to be overly technical and not easily digestible for the average marketer.

Trump, in turn, heaped praise on Limbaugh, and during last year’s State of the Union speech, awarded the broadcaster the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor.Īs news of Limbaugh's death spread, Trump took to Fox News Channel to laud a man he deemed “a legend,” as tributes poured in from across the American right. His idol, Ronald Reagan, wrote a letter of praise that Limbaugh proudly read on the air in 1992: “You’ve become the number one voice for conservatism.” In 1994, Limbaugh was so widely credited with the first Republican takeover of Congress in 40 years that the GOP made him an honorary member of the new class.ĭuring the 2016 presidential primaries, Limbaugh said he realized early on that Trump would be the nominee, and he likened the candidate’s deep connection with his supporters to his own. the men at Lexington and Concord, didn’t feel that way."įor all the controversy he embodied, he remained a GOP kingmaker. who say that any violence or aggression at all is unacceptable regardless of the circumstances," he said the day after the insurrection. “There’s a lot of people out there calling for the end of violence. ![]() When Barack Obama won the presidency in 2008 despite all Limbaugh’s warnings, he didn’t simply voice regret, he said: “I hope he fails.” And with the ugly scenes of a mob insurrection last month at the Capitol still fresh, he was dismissive to calls for an end to violence, comparing the rioters instead to American revolutionaries. When a woman accused Duke University lacrosse players of rape, she was derided as a “ho,” and when a Georgetown University law student spoke in support of expanded contraceptive coverage, she was dismissed as a “slut.” When the topic was reproductive rights, he didn’t simply voice a pro-life stance, he suggested Democratic ideology in biblical times would have led to the abortion of Jesus Christ. To him, 12-year-old Chelsea Clinton was “a dog.” ![]() As the AIDS epidemic raged in the 1980s, he made the dying a punchline. When a Washington advocate for the homeless committed suicide, he cracked a string of jokes. Fox, suffering from Parkinson’s disease, appeared in a commercial for a Democrat, Limbaugh mocked him and his tremors. He called them communists, wackos, feminazis, faggots and radicals. Limbaugh took as a badge of honor the title of “most dangerous man in America,” and called himself “America’s anchorman.” But his assessments of those with whom he disagreed were not nearly so kind. I don’t walk around thinking about my power,” he told author Zev Chafets in his 2010 book, “Rush Limbaugh: An Army of One.” “But in my heart and soul, I know I have become the intellectual engine of the conservative movement.” And he did it with such unyielding confidence, his followers heard his words as sacred truth. He drew people in with his wit, his sense of the theatrical and a made-for-broadcast voice offering listeners a blueprint for what he saw as the grand scheme of the opposition. He called himself an entertainer, but with his three-hour weekday radio show broadcast on nearly 600 stations across the U.S., and a massive audience of millions hanging on his every word, Limbaugh’s rants shaped the national political conversation, swaying the opinions of average Republicans and the direction of the party. Unflinchingly conservative, wildly partisan, bombastically self-promoting and larger than life, Limbaugh had for the past quarter-century galvanized listeners with his politically incorrect, sarcasm-laced commentary. ![]() He was divisive to the very end, but it did little to diminish his importance as the dominant force of talk radio, one of the most influential voices in Republican politics and an architect of the modern right-wing. ![]() |
