TWIN TOWN A film review by James Berardinelli Copyright 1997 James Berardinelli
RATING (0 TO 10): 4.0 Alternative Scale: ** out of ****
United Kingdom, 1997 U.S. Release Date: 5/97 (limited) Running Length: 1:39 MPAA Classification: NR (Profanity, violence, sex, nudity) Theatrical Aspect Ratio: 1.85:1
Cast: Llyr Evans, Rhys Ifans, William Thomas, Dorien Thomas, Dougray Scott, Huw Ceredig, Rachel Scorgie, Di Botcher, Mary Allen, Brian Hibbard, Jenny Evans Director: Kevin Allen Producer: Peter McAleese Screenplay: Kevin Allen & Paul Durden Cinematography: John Mathieson Music: Mark Thomas U.S. Distributor: Gramercy Pictures
It doesn't take a genius to presume that TWIN TOWN is this year's attempt by a distributor to reap the market primed by last year's TRAINSPOTTING (in fact, that film's creative team of Danny Boyle and Andrew MacDonald exec-produced this movie). The feature debut of director Kevin Allen is exceptionally profane, frequently violent, and occasionally grotesque, which all adds up to a reasonably high "hipness" quotient in a genre where Quentin Tarantino is king. Plus, TWIN TOWN has the same kind of nearly-incomprehensible accents (Welsh instead of Scottish here) that caused Miramax to panic and try some selective (and ineffective) dubbing of the TRAINSPOTTING audio tracks. Ultimately, however, like so many wannabes, TWIN TOWN lacks several key ingredients that its predecessor possessed -- notably style, originality, and depth.
The film starts out promisingly enough, with a self-mocking prologue in which the Lewis brothers (who aren't really twins, but just act like it), Julian and Jeremy (played by real-life siblings Llyr Evans and Rhys Ifans), discuss the likelihood that TWIN TOWN will be well- received in America. Cue the opening credits. Unfortunately, the movie's satirical sophistication never again approaches this level. The world we're plunged into is gray and flat, and Allen's presentation of it is too-often uninspired. Outlandishness for its own sake isn't interesting, just as a film's status as a "black comedy" doesn't excuse its multitude of flaws. TRAINSPOTTING was an explosion of creative edginess; TWIN TOWN rarely provokes anything more enthusiastic than a yawn.
Allen's movie, which takes place in Swansea, Wales (called, appropriately enough, "the graveyard of ambition" by Dylan Thomas), introduces us to a cast of characters who could have been lifted out of a bad MONTY PYTHON sketch (one of those where you wonder how such a talented troupe could come up with something so unfunny). In spite of their car-stealing hobby, glue-sniffing habits, and violent tendencies, the de facto protagonists, Julian and Jeremy, are easily the two most dreary people that we meet (the director has aptly described them as intentionally two-dimensional).  A couple of crooked cops, Greyo and Terry (Dorien Thomas and Dougray Scott), are always on the lookout for a way to make some quick cash, even if it involves drug-dealing and frame-ups. Terry is actually working for Bryn Cartwright (William Thomas), the closest thing Swansea has to a crime lord. Also thrown into the mix are Cartwright's daughter, Bonny (Jenny Evans), and a self-proclaimed Karaoke King (Brian Hibbard).
Things get underway when the twins' father breaks a leg falling off a ladder doing a construction job for Cartwright, who refuses to offer any kind of compensation. The incensed boys decide on a childish-but- repugnant form of revenge, which Cartwright takes very personally. Soon, the feud has gotten out of hand, with dogs being beheaded and humans blown up.
TWIN TOWN commits a black comedy cardinal sin by believing that it's a lot more incisive and funny than it actually is. In fact, the term "boring" wouldn't be out of place as a descriptor of the endless first half. That's because, at least early on, TWIN TOWN is just about a bunch of off-putting, undeveloped characters doing a variety of dodgy things. We've seen it all before; it's time to offer a new twist. The dialogue is passably interesting for only one reason: it's easily the most profane I have ever encountered on screen (there are something like 500 uses of the "f" word, or one of its permutations). The plot -- or what passes for one -- is pointless and occasionally muddled (especially near the beginning). The good news is that TWIN TOWN gets markedly better during its second half. By that time, however, will anyone care?
TWIN TOWN invites comparisons to other movies because it's not absorbing enough on its own to grab an audience's attention. None of the characters are of great interest and the acting is of variable quality. The film apparently played well overseas, which is good for its financial stability, because it's unlikely to make much of a dent in the summer box office on this side of the Atlantic. For a movie that deals with doubles, TWIN TOWN barely has half of what it needs to make for compelling viewing.

Giant Mushpoie Pronounced g-eye-ant moosh-poy
Moshpoies are large mushrooms that walk on two feet that resemble a root. They have two large
arms with boulder-like hands that pack a powerful critical punch. They have brown bodies and a mushroom for a
head that vary from purple to pink. Moshpoies have dangerous glares with white and green eyes that peirce through
you. On their backs, live four smaller pointed mushrooms that dangle and bounce as they strut back and fourth.
I'd hate to get in their way.

Apparently Red Hat’s FUD campaign extends to more than just mono. From a computing.co.uk interview with Matthew Szulik:
Why Red Hat versus Novell-SuSE or Sun JDS on the desktop?
They’re all proprietary except us. They all have proprietary technology inside, not 100 per cent open source software. They continue to lock customers in to limit choice.
If you buy the Sun desktop, you’re going to buy into the proprietary Sun architecture. With SuSE there’s Red Carpet, integrated with other Novell technologies, still proprietary.
I’m sorry, did I miss something? Was RHN recently freed unto the world? Sigh.

A special fish supper brought to life with a sweet and sour vinaigrette and crisp lettuce.
Wash the red mullet in cold water and pat dry with a cloth or kitchen paper.
Place a pan wide enough to hold the fish over a medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of oil. Season both sides of the fish with salt. Fry for about 5 minutes on each side until crisp and cooked through.
Meanwhile, heat 4 tablespoons of oil in a large frying pan over a high heat. Add the garlic and cook until starting to turn golden-brown. Add the olives and cook for 30 seconds before adding the courgette. Fry for 1 minute and add the sweet pimentón and peas. Give the pan a good stir and, after 30 seconds, pour in the sherry vinegar and let it reduce for a few seconds. Add the baby spinach and season with salt and pepper. Add the chives.
For the vinaigrette, put the onion in a small bowl and pour the sherry vinegar over. Set aside to marinade.
Dry-fry the pancetta or bacon in a small pan over a high heatuntil crisp. Sprinkle over the sweet paprika and honey. After 30 seconds, pour over the onions. Deglaze the pan by scraping off any cooked on bits from the bottom of the pan. Set aside for a few minutes.
For the lettuce, heat a pan over a high heat until it is as hot as possible. Place the lettuce halves in the pan, cut sides down, and cook for 1 minute, then drizzle with the oil and continue to fry for no longer than 1 minute. They will darken quite quickly without losing their raw texture.
Place the cooked lettuces on a serving plate, grilled sides up, and season with a little salt. Pour the hot vinaigrette over the top. Serve the fish with the vegetables alongside.

Use the sample data
For this Quick Start and our other sample apps, we included some sample geo-tagged data so that you can experiment with the different features of the new Splunk App Framework—even if you don't have any data in Splunk yet.
Where is the sample data?
The sample data is ready to go, you don't need to do anything. You can even use it with your other apps if you want to. Just copy the appfx.demo.dataset.csv file from $HOMEDIR/server/apps/quickstartfx/splunkd/lookups to your app's directory under $HOMEDIR/server/apps/your_app/splunkd/lookups.
Search the sample data
To search the sample data, use the inputlookup
command in your search query. For example, this search query lists every event in the data set:
search = " | inputlookup appfx.demo.dataset.csv"
This example returns the count of events:
search = " | inputlookup appfx.demo.dataset.csv | stats count"

Massive.js is a data mapper for Node.js that goes all in on PostgreSQL and fully embraces the power and flexibility of the SQL language and relational metaphors. Providing minimal abstractions for the interfaces and tools you already use, its goal is to do just enough to make working with your data as easy and intuitive as possible, then get out of your way.
This project is maintained by dmfay
Hosted on GitHub Pages — Theme by orderedlist
Massive’s lack of entity modeling means it retrieves your data in the form of plain JavaScript objects and arrays, and storing your data is no different. The use of objects instead of models makes persistence an extremely flexible proposition: you can write what you want when you want and, unlike with object-relational models, ignore anything you don’t know. The persistence methods operate only on the columns you specify, and leave all others with the existing or default value, as appropriate.
save
performs an upsert. On initialization, Massive records your tables’ primary key information and uses this to determine whether the object passed to save
represents a new or an existing row and invokes insert
or update
appropriately. The promise save
returns will resolve to the created or modified data.
save
may not be used with foreign tables, since they do not have primary keys to test.
db.tests.save({
version: 1,
name: 'homepage'
}).then(tests => {
// an array containing the newly-inserted test
});
db.tests.save({
id: 1,
version: 2,
priority: 'high'
}).then(tests => {
// an array containing the updated test; note that the name
// will not have changed!
});
insert
takes an object and returns a promise for an array containing the inserted data.
db.tests.insert({
name: 'homepage',
version: 1,
}).then(tests => {
// an array containing the newly-inserted test
});
You can insert multiple rows at once – just pass an array:
db.tests.insert([{
name: 'homepage',
version: 1
}, {
name: 'about us',
version: 1
}]).then(tests => {
// an array containing both newly-inserted tests
});
update
has two variants. Passed an object with a value for the table’s primary key field, it updates all included fields of the object based on the primary key; or, passed a criteria object and a changes map, it applies all changes to all rows matching the criteria. Only the criteria-changes variant can be used with foreign tables.
Both update
functions return promises for arrays containing the updated data.
db.tests.update({
id: 1,
version: 2,
priority: 'high'
}).then(tests => {
// an array containing the updated test
});
db.tests.update({
priority: 'high'
}, {
priority: 'moderate'
}).then(tests => {
// an array containing all tests which formerly had
// priority 'high'. Since this issues a prepared
// statement, note that the version field cannot
// be incremented here!
});
destroy
removes data matching a criteria object, and returns a promise for an array containing the deleted data.
db.tests.destroy({
priority: 'high'
}).then(tests => {
// an array containing all removed tests
});

—wide char string to double or floatSynopsis
#include <stdlib.h> double wcstod(const wchar_t *__restrict str, wchar_t **__restrict tail); float wcstof(const wchar_t *__restrict str, wchar_t **__restrict tail); long double wcstold(const wchar_t *__restrict str, wchar_t **__restrict tail); #include <stdlib.h> double wcstod_l(const wchar_t *__restrict str, wchar_t **__restrict tail, locale_t locale); float wcstof_l(const wchar_t *__restrict str, wchar_t **__restrict tail, locale_t locale); long double wcstold_l(const wchar_t *__restrict str, wchar_t **__restrict tail, locale_t locale); double _wcstod_r(void *reent, const wchar_t *str, wchar_t **tail); float _wcstof_r(void *reent, const wchar_t *str, wchar_t **tail);
Description
wcstod
, wcstof
, wcstold
parse the wide-character string
str, producing a substring which can be converted to a double,
float, or long double value. The substring converted is the longest
initial subsequence of str, beginning with the first non-whitespace
character, that has one of these formats:
[+|-]digits[.[digits]][(e|E)[+|-]digits] [+|-].digits[(e|E)[+|-]digits] [+|-](i|I)(n|N)(f|F)[(i|I)(n|N)(i|I)(t|T)(y|Y)] [+|-](n|N)(a|A)(n|N)[<(>[hexdigits]<)>] [+|-]0(x|X)hexdigits[.[hexdigits]][(p|P)[+|-]digits] [+|-]0(x|X).hexdigits[(p|P)[+|-]digits]
The substring contains no characters if str is empty, consists
entirely of whitespace, or if the first non-whitespace
character is something other than +
, -
, .
, or a
digit, and cannot be parsed as infinity or NaN. If the platform
does not support NaN, then NaN is treated as an empty substring.
If the substring is empty, no conversion is done, and
the value of str is stored in *tail
. Otherwise,
the substring is converted, and a pointer to the final string
(which will contain at least the terminating null character of
str) is stored in *tail
. If you want no
assignment to *tail
, pass a null pointer as tail.
This implementation returns the nearest machine number to the
input decimal string. Ties are broken by using the IEEE
round-even rule. However, wcstof
is currently subject to
double rounding errors.
wcstod_l
, wcstof_l
, wcstold_l
are like wcstod
,
wcstof
, wcstold
but perform the conversion based on the
locale specified by the locale object locale. If locale is
LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE or not a valid locale object, the behaviour is
undefined.
The alternate functions _wcstod_r
and _wcstof_r
are
reentrant versions of wcstod
and wcstof
, respectively.
The extra argument reent is a pointer to a reentrancy structure.
Returns
Return the converted substring value, if any. If
no conversion could be performed, 0 is returned. If the
correct value is out of the range of representable values,
plus or minus HUGE_VAL
is returned, and ERANGE
is
stored in errno. If the correct value would cause underflow, 0
is returned and ERANGE
is stored in errno.
Portability
wcstod
is ANSI.
wcstof
, wcstold
are C99.
wcstod_l
, wcstof_l
, wcstold_l
are GNU extensions.
Supporting OS subroutines required: close
, fstat
, isatty
,
lseek
, read
, sbrk
, write

Yes—there was trouble when Farmer Green discovered that Tommy Fox had been stealing his hens. He fastened the end of Tommy’s chain to the stake once more. And then he went out to the barn, where his boy Johnnie was watering the horses.
“We’ll have to kill that fox,” he said to Johnnie. “He’s got loose, somehow, and he’s stolen two hens. I can’t have him on the place any longer. He’s made friends with old Spot and the dog will let him do anything he likes.”
Poor Johnnie Green! He felt so sad!  But Farmer Green was very angry with Tommy.
“No!” he said. “That cub’s so tricky there’s no knowing when he’ll get loose again.” But Johnnie begged so hard that his father promised that he might keep Tommy one more day.
Johnnie Green was in despair. He could not bear to have his pet killed. And when he went to bed that night he never fell asleep at all. He was very tired; but he managed to keep awake. And in the middle of the night Johnnie got out of bed and put on his clothes. He didn’t dare to light his candle. But the moonbeams streamed in through his little gable-window and Johnnie could see very well without any other light.
As soon as he was dressed Johnnie stole down the stairs, carrying his shoes in his hand, so he wouldn’t make any noise. In spite of all his caution, the old stairs would creak now and then. But luckily nobody heard him; and soon Johnnie was out of the house.
He found Tommy Fox wide awake, sitting on his haunches in the moonlight, listening. Far away in the distance a fox was barking and Tommy thought it sounded like his mother’s voice.
Tommy was surprised to see Johnnie Green at that hour. And he was astonished when Johnnie untied the chain from the stake and started away with him. They went off across the fields, toward Blue Mountain, right in the direction of that barking.
The meadows smelled sweet; and Tommy Fox began to wish that he could slip his head out of his collar and scamper away.
And that was exactly what happened.
After they had gone some distance, Johnnie Green stopped. He unbuckled Tommy’s collar, and gave Tommy a push.
At first Tommy was not quite sure that he wanted to leave his good master. But there was that fox, yelping and calling. Something seemed to draw Tommy toward that sound. He just couldn’t help himself. And the first thing he knew he was bounding off over the meadow running as fast as his legs would carry him, and barking as loudly as he could bark.
Johnnie Green went slowly home again. He crept into the house and stole upstairs, and cried himself to sleep. But he was glad of one thing. Tommy Fox would not be killed the next morning.


Another snippet from Richard O'Connor's 1967 biography of Ambrose Bierce:
“The book-reviewing end of his chores, predictably, loosed [Bierce's] most savage energies… He once composed what may be the shortest, nastiest book review on the record by listing its title, author and publisher and adding the one-line comment, ‘The covers of this book are too far apart’.
“Occasionally, like an eagle swooping down on the carrion-littered plains of literature, he would quote one paragraph of a current novel as an example of hopelessly bad writing. Such as : ‘She remained inactive in his embrace for a considerable period, then modestly disengaging herself looked him full in the countenance and signified a desire for self-communion. By love's instinct he divined her purpose—she wanted to consider his proposal apart from the influence of the glamour of his personal presence. With the innate tact of a truly genteel nature he bade her good evening in French, and with measured tread paced away into the gathering gloom’.”
Alas, we are not told the titles of the two books under review.

Well christ, I'm here. It's been 24 hours and I am here to think clearly and intelligently. I am in my house with my wife and son and I feel so safe and content. This is my home, and I can feel my place here. I can feel the security. And many of us take that for granted.
I have been lurking here for two years. Why? Because ecstacy started it all. It blew my mind. I donít mean I just had a great experience my first time. I mean it made me look at life much differently and this fascinated me.
I abused ecstacy. I wanted to see how far it would take me. After a year and 6 pills a night it got old fast. I now wanted to find what was out there. And lsd seemed to be the thing.
Lsd, - who the hell can get it these days. I have been looking for at least 6 months. So I did some research. And mescaline from san pedro sounded good. Legal to grow in the us and 50.00 for a foot. Half of which should be enough for a good experience.
So whats my problem. Why do I want to do this. I have friends and happiness in my life. My son is the best, a three year old comedian. My wife - she's the best. Something strange in my mind wants more. A curiosity of the unknown - and guys there is an unknown. And it is beyond our wildest comprehension (to those of you that haven't tripped). This is not ecstacy we are talking about. Your thoughts are no longer something you can count on. This is your mind - completely rewired. Your life as you know it, is exploded into a thousand pcs. And you have no roots. Think you're tough? If you can handle that you are. Because I sure as hell am not.
24 hours ago. The foot long san pedro arrives. Half of that should be enough for a good experience. I cut the cactus apart [9 inches length/5 inch base] into tiny pcs and cooked only the green skin portion. I boiled it for three hours. I drink half of this at 7 pm on friday. I waited two hours. I noticed being slightly off center - but nothing substantial. I knew that I had probably just made baseline.
AT 10pm I drank half of the second half. I waited until 11:30 and evaluated the situation:
Stomach slightly upset for the second time. Cactus mixture of orange juice and mescaline tasted worse than sour - it tasted like puke with tabasco.
Now that I have consumed 9 inches of cactus, Iím going to wait until midnight and if no change - its into the cannabis stash.
Midnight comes and I have been reading for years that sexual mentality is heightened while tripping.  This young little honey appears on camera - very confident and ready to go. You probably wouldnt question that confidence. Well, I watched and watched.  And she was taking it well. Quite well. But then she began to look a bit tired. And right on tape she looked up with sad eyes and said 'its too hard!'
Now- suddently I had this rush of emotion. This girl was there to make some cash, and she had no idea who she was going to be fucking. And it seemed as though all of these young guys with the cameras were playing a prank on her.  And she would play it off like it was planned, but I could feel her fear.    They may even rape me if I start to complain. And that girl hung in there.  Yet she couldnt do anything because she was alone and there were 5 guys filming. Now I didnít see the guys filming in the background, I just knew they were there. I don't know how.
Ok- so, ive taken 9 inches of san predro and feel pretty normal. But have this odd sense of intuition.
 Iím not drinking any more of that san pedro tonight. Its just too damn foul. (note that I have never had difficulty even swallowing raw eggs.) Next step is to smoke some cannabis. So out comes the blueberry indica smoke. And I puff slowly just to be cautious. I know sometimes smoking can re start a trip from as long as a week or two before and donít want a freak out session occuring. After each toke I begin to feel heightened steps with each smoke.
Ok, I say. I am high as fuck, but I am not anywhere near tripping. Well, good. The final thing is just to hop in the bath, which is one of my favorite things to do anyway. I love to lay in there and sweat and finally drain the water and rinse with something cold and brisk. I knew it would send my blood pressure up and figured this will really bring the magic out. So I hop into the bath. Fill with hot water and I feel nice. But then things start to change a bit. Sweat started to bead. And my thoughts begin to spin out of control. Suddenly, I am not in control of my thoughts any more. My eyes are wide open, yet I am seeing things that are not of this world in my head.
 This is too much, it is what I had feared - it is clearly the unknown. I am feeling thoughts chopped up in a blender and I donít have the controls to direct. My thoughts are no longer my own, I am alone in nothingness. And when I get caught on one specific thought - it is as if I were bait and was cast out on a fishing rod -- for miles I would fly away from baseline and I tried as hard as possible to get back. It was a constant fight for my thoughts---I would get stuck on one and get zipped out for miles and be stuck in the abyss.
I was no longer a normal person. I began to see images that could only be comprehended by another life form. It seemed alien- I was experiencing thoughts that made absolutely no sense at a million miles an hour. Images of odd shapes and origins from other time engulfed me. I now have very little contol over what I can choose for my brain to experience. I tell myself that this bath has raised blood pressure and I need to stand up and take a cold shower. I drain the water and stand up. The water from the shower hits my head and I slowly cool the temp down. My mind is racing at light speed and my mind is absorbing thoughts. These are abstract thoughts- they are far from complete which makes them terrifying. As I stood from under the shower head I felt the cool water hitting my head. And suddenly it felt as though I was running but I had tripped, stumbled in my mind. I wanted to think straight but I couldnt.
Odd thoughts entered my mind. Frightening thoughts- life as I knew it- relaxing and just thinking was destroyed. I was not unable to relax and take my environment for granted. My environment was no longer there. I was alone and one simple thought was made up of a thousand tiny small thoughts. And I was feeling them all. Feeling fractions of a thought is not pleasant. It must be like being born as a baby and not understanding what you are being born to. There is no security.
As the water hits my head, my mind stumbles, the vision of a woman flashed in my head. A beautiful woman from possibly a tropical island fills my head and I donít know if I am her or myself. I see her, I become her -flash, back to myself, flash back to her. Holy jesus christ.  This may sound erotic, but it wasn't. I was in a world where I did not know how far this was going to go. I saw her, she was beautiful and she was enjoying the water hitting her hair and body in this tropical waterfall.
Ok, this is enough.  I need to cool the water down. Yes, once I get my body temp down I will begin to come down. And sure enough this seemed to help. I finished with the shower and sat on the couch. Suddenly my thoughts would snatch me as if I was live bait again, and cast me thousands of miles away from where I was. And I would try as hard as I could to get back there. And when I got back, I would just be cast out just as far again. This was so uncomfortable. This was me at the edge of madness. Trying to talk myself into the belief that everything was ok, I was on drugs and all would get better.
As I would be cast out on a thought and zipping through the air, I could sometimes expand the thought, and I had comprehension of ideas that I would normally be incapable of. Such as the meaning of life and how it all had to do with our thoughts. The millions of micro thoughts that make up a single thought- this principle continued and I was able to explain it in my mind that night, but today I can accept that the human mind is incapable of understanding that theory without tricking mother nature through use of this substance. These brilliant thoughts also seems to frighten me because I would say, my god- this is what its all about? The answer is right here.
Long story short. I barely went over threshhold for san pedro. The cannabis hightened it and I was able to boost a three hour trip out of it.
Had this been a 12 hour deal, I donít know if I would have made it out the same person. I felt at the edge of sanity during the whole time. How NOT being in control of any of your thoughts- being on a frightening roller coaster ride appeals to people, is beyond me.
 I can't even explain it. Our brains are made up of some incredible thought processes that we take for granted and these processes are broken down into millions of abstract impulses. But when you are tripping, you are there.  You are living what you are imagining through your emotions.
Final thought-
We do not always have the ability to be in control but we are always in control. All we are, are thoughts, millions of them scattered - smells, touch, visual recognition, fear, elation-these complete thoughts are simple, but there are millions other thoughts and emotions that we are normally blind to, that make them up.
What I felt last night was beyond this world. I lost control and did not feel like I was me. I felt like I didnít know if I was this woman or myself. There were patterns beyond the comprehension of any human all that I saw while my eyes were open.
Iím thankful that whatever this world is that I was exposed to- that I donít have to feel it again. Being insane and not in control of my thoughts is not something I enjoy. Two year wait is over and now I can rest.

The lowest layer of connection handling is comprised of {@link org.apache.http.conn.OperatedClientConnection OperatedClientConnection} and {@link org.apache.http.conn.ClientConnectionOperator ClientConnectionOperator}. The connection interface extends the core {@link org.apache.http.HttpClientConnection HttpClientConnection} by operations to set and update a socket. An operator encapsulates the logic to open and layer sockets, typically using a {@link org.apache.http.conn.scheme.SocketFactory SocketFactory}. The socket factory for a protocol {@link org.apache.http.conn.scheme.Scheme Scheme} such as "http" or "https" can be looked up in a {@link org.apache.http.conn.scheme.SchemeRegistry SchemeRegistry}. Applications without a need for sophisticated connection management can use this layer directly.
On top of that lies the connection management layer. A
{@link org.apache.http.conn.ClientConnectionManager ClientConnectionManager}
internally manages operated connections, but hands out instances of
{@link org.apache.http.conn.ManagedClientConnection ManagedClientConnection}.
This interface abstracts from the underlying socket operations and
provides convenient methods for opening and updating sockets in order
to establish a {@link org.apache.http.conn.routing.HttpRoute route}.
The operator is encapsulated by the connection manager and called
automatically.
Connections obtained from a manager have to be returned after use.
This can be {@link org.apache.http.conn.ConnectionReleaseTrigger triggered}
on various levels, either by releasing the
{@link org.apache.http.conn.ManagedClientConnection
connection}
directly, or by calling a method on an
{@link org.apache.http.conn.BasicManagedEntity entity}
received from the connection, or by closing the
{@link org.apache.http.conn.EofSensorInputStream stream}
from which that entity is being read.
Connection managers will try to keep returned connections alive in
order to re-use them for subsequent requests along the same route.
The managed connection interface and all triggers for connection release
provide methods to enable or disable this behavior.


Who needs legs?
With their sleek bodies, snakes can slither up to 14 miles-per-hour, squeeze into tight space, scale trees and swim.
Snake-inspired robot uses kirigami to move
How do they do it? It's all in the scales. As a snake moves, its scales grip the ground and propel the body forward -- similar to how crampons help hikers establish footholds in slippery ice. This so-called friction-assisted locomotion is possible because of the shape and positioning of snake scales.
Now, a team of researchers from the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) has developed a soft robot that uses those same principles of locomotion to crawl without any rigid components. The soft robotic scales are made using kirigami -- an ancient Japanese paper craft that relies on cuts, rather than origami folds, to change the properties of a material. As the robot stretches, the flat kirigami surface is transformed into a 3D-textured surface, which grips the ground just like snakeskin.
The research is published in Science Robotics.

Return of ‘Captain Majid’ announced at Anime Expo in Riyadh
Princess Aljohara Al-Saud is a partner at Henning Larsen studio in Riyadh and has served as the design architect for a number of the Scandinavian company’s projects in Saudi Arabia and the wider region, many of which strike a balance between Arabian and Scandinavian culture.
One of the company’s first projects in the Kingdom was the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Riyadh, designed by Henning Larsen — after whom the company is named — and completed in 1984.
Princess Aljohara has a special interest in promoting women’s positions in Saudi society.
She is actively involved in a network that supports women’s ambitions of achieving executive positions in the private sector.
Princess Aljohara is also a member of the advisory board of the Alfaisal University Department of Engineering.
Recently Princess Aljohara spoke at a Misk Global Forum session called “Dinosaur or future-fit? Careers in a post-job era.” She discussed some of the hardships she faced when she first started working.
“Few organizations at that time had women in their offices,” she said. Undeterred, she “saw an opportunity and grabbed it.”
Princess Aljohara said: “I progressed and started as a junior architect. My skills gradually developed and I became a business development manager.”

NoiseTagController
public class NoiseTagController : NSObject, SetOfSettingsDelegate, NetworkingHelperDelegate
This class provides a singleton NoiseTagController
, which is responsible for coordinating everything that has to do with noise tagging. Access the singleton instance using the convenience variable NoiseTagging
.
-
The default flicker color to display for either a 1 or a 0 in the noise tag.
Declaration
Swift
public func colorFor(bit: Bool) -> UIColor
-
Perform an update.
The current set of controls as well as the actions assigned to them can only be changed as part of an update block.
In most cases you do not call this function directly. Instead you use
push(view:forNoiseTaggingWithDelegate:)
,pop()
, andupdate(view:forNoiseTaggingWithDelegate:)
. However, if you have multiple of these calls in a row – e.g. two pops at once –, we recommend that you group them together in one update, using this function.- example:
// Combine two pops in one single update: NoiseTagging.updateControls { NoiseTagging.pop() NoiseTagging.pop() }
Declaration
Swift
public func updateControls(updateCode: @escaping () -> ())
Parameters
updateCode
This closure is executed as part of the update.
-
Push a new unit on the noise tagging stack.
Declaration
Swift
public func push(view: UIView, forNoiseTaggingWithDelegate delegate: NoiseTagDelegate)
Parameters
view
The unit’s view.
delegate
The unit’s delegate.
-
Pop the current noise tagging unit, making the second-topmost unit the active unit.
Declaration
Swift
public func pop()
-
Restart noise tagging on the current unit.
Declaration
Swift
public func update(view: UIView, forNoiseTaggingWithDelegate delegate: NoiseTagDelegate)
-
Set our mode. The mode determines whether we are calibrating, or in normal test mode, or collecting data, etc.
Important
for the typical app build using the NoiseTagging framework for iOS it will not be necessary for clients to call this function. Using the standard UI for letting users setup brain control, mode switches happen automatically.
Declaration
Swift
public func set(mode: NoiseTagMode, waitTillDecoderConfirms: Bool = false, withExplanation explanationWhileWaiting: String? = nil)
Parameters
mode
The new mode that should be set.
waitTillDecoderConfirms
Often a local mode change means that the Decoder should change modes as well. If
waitTillDecoderConfirms
istrue
, we wait till the Decoder confirms that it switched to the new mode and in the meantime we show the user an alert, blocking other user interaction.withExplanation
If
waitTillDecoderConfirms
istrue
, this string is displayed in the alert.
-
Whether noise tagging trials are running.
Declaration
Swift
public var trialsAreRunning: Bool { get set }
-
Use this function whenever starting the next noise tagging trial should be postponed untill a certain task has been finished.
Example: if one of your buttons is pressed and as a result a different screen is opened in an animated fashion, then you should call this function at the start of that animation, and call
unblockTrials
once the animation is finished, or pass a duration.
Attention
If no duration is passed, each call to block needs to be matched by a call to unblock. Otherwise no new trial will ever be started.
Declaration
Swift
public func blockTrials(forDuration duration: TimeInterval? = nil)
Parameters
duration
If
nil
, you are blocking trials untill you callunblockTrials
. If this is non-nil
,unblockTrials
is called automatically after the passed duration. -
This function is the counterpart to
blockTrials(forDuration:)
. You callblockTrials(forDuration:)
to postpone starting the next noise tagging trial untill a certain task has been finished. If you do this without passing a duration, you must callunblockTrials
once that task is finished.Attention
Call this function after and only after having calledblockTrials(forDuration:)
without a duration. For everything to work correctly it is critical that the number of ‘blocks’ is balanced with the number of ‘unblocks’.Declaration
Swift
public func unblockTrials()
-
If
NoiseTagging
is in.DataCollection
mode, itsdataCollectionHelper
supports trial control. Currently this just means that thedataCollectionHelper
chooses whether a new trial should be started.Declaration
Swift
public var dataCollectionHelper: DataCollectionHelperProtocol?
-
The initial value of
settings
.Declaration
Swift
public let defaultSetOfSettings: NoiseTagSetOfSettings
-
You can use
NoiseTagging
‘ssettings
property to customise how the framework operates.Declaration
Swift
public let settings: NoiseTagSetOfSettings
-
Change the
settings
such that their values match those of the passed settings.Example use case: in an Experiments app the settings are defined by the user per experiment. When an experiment is started, this function can be used to make that experiment’s settings
NoiseTagging
‘s current settings.Declaration
Swift
public func updateSettingsToMatch(newSettings: SetOfSettings)
-
See the
SetOfSettingsDelegate
protocol.Declaration
Swift
public func valueChangedOf(setting: Setting, inSet setOfSettings: SetOfSettings)
-
Show one of the two UIs which let the user connect her brain. This function shows UI that is fully brain-controllable, but it should only be used on iPad. Whenever possible, use
startBrainSetup(pushedFromNavigationController:withCompletionAfterBrainSetup:)
.Declaration
Swift
public func enterBrainControlLayerFrom(view: UIView, completion: (() -> ())? = nil)
-
Call this function to bring up the standard UI for connecting to the MindAffect Decoder and connecting a brain.
Declaration
Swift
public func startBrainSetup(pushedFromNavigationController clientNavigationController: UINavigationController?, withCompletionAfterBrainSetup completionAfterBrainSetup: @escaping () -> ())
Parameters
clientNavigationController
If you have an existing
UINavigationController
which you want to use to present the brain setup UI, pass it and the brain setup view controller will be pushed onto it. Alternatively passnil
and the framework will make and present aUINavigationController
itself.completionAfterBrainSetup
This closure is executed once brain setup has finished. If you did not pass a
clientNavigationController
, theUINavigationController
will be dismissed first before executing this closure.
-
Show a brain-controllable alert.
Declaration
Swift
public func showAlertWith(title: String, explanation: String, actions: [NoiseTaggingAlertAction], ignoreDuringCalibration: Bool = false) -> ResultOfPresentingAlert
Parameters
title
The title is shown at the top of the alert.
explanation
The explanation is shown below the title.
actions
For each action a button is shown, which the user can press to dismiss the alert and optionally execute some code.
ignoreDuringCalibration
If
true
and calibration is in progress, the call is ignored.
-
Whether we are connected with the Decoder.
Declaration
Swift
public var networkCommunicationHasBeenSetUp: Bool { get }
-
The passed text is send as a log message (“L”) to the Decoder.
Declaration
Swift
public func sendDecoderALogMessageWith(text: String)
-
The mode determines whether the system currently is used for calibration, normal usage, or one of the other modes.
Important
Currently we recommend you do not change this setting yourself. Using the framework’s standard UI for letting the user hook up her brain, the system will correctly transition between modes.Declaration
Swift
public var mode: NoiseTagMode { get }
-
In the future this will no longer be public.
Declaration
Swift

Parameters
| Expect Threshold | The maximum expect value a peptide may have to still be included in the PRIDE XML file. All peptides with an expect value greater than the set threshold will be ignored. |
|---|---|
| Use Internal Spectra | If this parameter is set to "true" the spectra stored in the X!Tandem file are used irrespective of whether an external peak list file is referenced. These spectra are highly preprocessed and do not properly represent the input spectra. This option should only be used if the original spectra are not available. |
Details
X!Tandem result files do not contain the complete searched spectra. Files downloaded from the GPMDB only contain pre-processed spectra using the COMMON compression algorithm. Detailed information about the COMMON algorithm can be found at http://www.thegpm.org/common/index.html.
If available the original spectra can be retrieved from the searched peak list file if provided. To enable this option the peak-list file has to be put in the same directory the source X!Tandem file is placed. If the peak-list file was not renamed since the original search spectra are automatically loaded from the peak list file. Currently, the XTandem DAO supports spectra in PKL, DTA, MGF, and the internal compressed COMMON format.
- Missing features: Currently, protein thresholds are not supported by the XTandem DAO as the used threshold is not available in X!Tandem output files.
- PTMs: Post-translational modifications are only reported using the position and the observed mass-delta. No additional information, such as a modification name are provided in X!Tandem result files. Thus, the XTandem DAO reports encountered PTMs only based on the observed mass delta and the affected amino-acid.


One of my biggest pet peeves is being asked a question that can easily be Googled. I will say though that I am also guilty of doing this myself, and it annoys me most when I do it! But sometimes, you have exhausted all of the forums and information out there on the web (at least in one language) and need to pose the question yourself. Here are some questions I have posed, and how I can improve on them in the future.
"Does anyone have any idea how to use sqrt in ruby?"
First off, starting a question with "Does anyone have any idea..." is already a failure. I find that when you throw out general calls-to-action like this one, people tend to think someone else will help. Plus, it shows that you really haven't done much research in regards to the topic.  This is a perfect example of the "Just Google It Principle".
"Subject: FCP7 Constant Crashing."
Here is an example of a subject title for a forum question that is just too general. Even though my question was very detailed, the subject definitely could have given a little more information, and not just for my own sake. If someone is googling the same problem I am having, they would have a better chance of finding it if my subject heading was better.
If you take anything away from this blog post, make sure it's to "Just Google It".


Why cybersquad
Usually we all say hackers are lone wolves or like a hacking machine. We are wolf gang and usually wolf gang wins over lone wolves. We are an evolving hackers joined together
in facing a every challenges like CTF. We create tools signes with 0x003F signature.

The required resources for the person who never entered hacking, to make him understand the basics like IP address and network esentials and make him/her to involve in hacking by providing random hacking techniques and make them fimilar with the concepts.
Once the hacker is capable of understanding basic terms and fimilar with basic attacks the offical courses like CEHV10(pirated) are usually the great way to begin with network hacking and other resources randomly including black hat are provided and parallely they can be involved in CTF events in cyber squad team to paticipate in events and contest like HACK THE BOX.
Once the hacker is ready to penetrate trough the vulnerable networks and systems the bug bounty is the great option to make money as side skill so we provide both resourse and help in earning.
skills required to be a hacker
Computer Hacking is a Science as well as an Art. Like any other expertise, you need to put a lot of effort in order to acquire knowledge and become an expert hacker. Once you are on the track, you would need more effort to keep up-to-date with latest technologies, new vulnerabilities and exploitation techniques. An ethical hacker must be a computer systems expert and needs to have very strong programming and computer networking skills. An ethical hacker needs to have a lot of patience, persistence, and perseverance to try again and again and wait for the required result. Additionally, an ethical hacker should be smart enough to understand the situation and other users’ mind-set in order to apply social engineering exploits. A good ethical hacker has great problem-solving skills too.
who can join us?
Anyone who is intrested in hacking and have skills and is intrested in technology.
who can post resources
Only authorized personals in our squad can you can suggest for resources.
Is it paid ?
We are not savages, we are brotherhood. Hope you understand from this sentance.
150+ squad members
PORTFOLIO
CYBER SQUAD is started as a whatsapp group by the group of people of 110 and and looking forward to increase the comunity and becoming stronger.

ABOUT FILM
‘Eat, work, sleep and repeat’, some saying in the past has become a reality in 2020. But the world still must move on. Why not keep a positive attitude while we are at it? Here is a rendition of how some of us here at NYU Abu Dhabi perceive the quarantine life. With tons of assignments clustering up our desks (I hope my professors do read this), the idea that we want to project with this short video is that mental peace comes down to finding fun in the small things in life. In these events, mental health is of utmost importance. So, whether it is binge watching series or talking hours with your loved ones, just do it (NIKE please sponsor us) as one’s happiness is of extreme importance.
Meet us! The spatula, a high-spirited soul, spreading happiness and laughter around with its jolliness. It is always good to have such nice people around, isn’t it? As new semester starts, our Ms. Tea got a lot to soak in. The apple may belong to Group 8 of periodic table as she is an introvert ,but she has her own ways of having fun after a hectic routine. Meet our a bit funky Mr. Banana. We promise that you will be fond of him.
#keepdistance #staysafe #stayhappy

Saw this post and started musing on computing machines -
Firstly, lambda machines are not yet built.
But we have turing machines, so we had to worry about designing a fast ISA and efficient way to move data between memory and processor.
RISC - did show us on how to pack a processor efficiently and make it fast via pipe-lining, branch prediction et al..
Btw, processor got faster while memory lagged behind.
Cache, built with costly high speed SRAM, was added that would bridge the gap between processor and memory.
That brings us to how the fastest machines are built,
- A trace architecture that will pack a fast processing.
- A cache architecture that will bridge memory with processor.
So, how fast a language can be ? Only as fast as the compiler understand the machine, and that understanding happens over a long time, after hundreds of man-years spent.
After which, a simple change to the processor (say like reducing the cache, or moving to NUMA) can adversely negate all that effort spent. The effort spent becomes effort lost.
So, the machine does not dare to change ! Welcome to the right wing of machine computing.
And Lastly, lambda machines are yet to be built.


Problem Solving

This week, Sprint 5 was the first time I really came up against a major problem and becameThe Fizz Buzz exercise outlined building my code for the Fizz Buzz exercise I put together the required elements and variables for Sprint 5. I began typing out another set of code knowing there could possibly be many other methods. Searching through my code I found no problems that I could discern as a fault. However after running the code I received a "syntax error: missing var."
First Method Used: Reading error messages
Firstly, following the syntax error I searched through my code attempting to check if anything was missing and how I could possibly to solve the problem. However, everytime I attempted to fix the error I continued to receive other syntax errors as I attempted a process of elimination.
Second Method Used: Googling
When the above did not work I then copied the syntax error into the Google search to see what else I could learn. My way of thinking was the more I learnt about an error the better equipt I could be to solving the problem.
What did you learn?
In Sprint 5 I learned a lot about myself and how I handle problem solivng my code. While most times I get through any coding issue relatively okay, I found by doing this weeks blog that I need to deploy a more refined method and a far better system to approach problem solving. One that works better for myself given my knowledge and capabilities.
Problem Solving Techniques
Pseudocode
Pseudocode, is a good method for keeping your code organised making it easier for everyone to read. It's also a good way of noting each piece of your code, keeping track of what you are trying to achieve.
Trying something/ Rubber ducky
I have not yet used either of these methods. But I will work my way through in the next sprint or when I get blocked again.
Reading error messages
Reading error messages can be quite difficult, especially if the error messages specificity can be too exact. I have had some trouble working out what or where the real problem is within the syntax. Example of this is when I received a error missing a closing bracket. After looking through the code I found no missing brackets, so I need a greater understanding of what the error message is actually complaining about.
Console.logging
Having used console log() throught out Sprint 4 and 5 I can honestly admit that being able to utilize this for debugging purposes to display data from my exercise programs.
Googling
Google is such a wealthy source to search for practically anything. So, it is not surprise that this is a very valuable source to learn about javascript, problem solving. I have found stack overflow very helpful when researching different snipplets of code. Also using w3schools.com that laysout syntax, methods, elements and other properties is some cases showing the way the code is used.
Asking your peers for help
During phase zero I have asked for help a couple of times and had a great response. I have reached out to others for support and asked for help with my website but as I am not in Auckland at present pairing has become a bit hard. Added to this is the fact that all my peers are also learning and I don't wish to take time away from their own learning. Going into the next phase I will be able to be face to face with my fellow students making pairing alot easier.
Asking coaches for help
Asking for help from our academy coaches has been quiet efficient, when I have had any problems they have answered all my questions. Also I have received some really good advice that has made me alter how I approach my work.
How confident are you using the problem solving techniques? How did you feel throughout the process?
 I like the idea of having to work out a puzzle. I am not one hundred percent confident with all of the problem solving techniques.
Improving your process with reflection
Personally I found this weeks exercises more challenging and I spent more time than was needed on them because I found them challenging. What I have learned about myself this week in respects to problem solving and how I debug programs. My problem solving method has up until this week has remained un-refined. Having to work through this blog and these exercises I realise the importance of deploying a better more organised approach. I hope that this will help reduce the amount of time I spend on any exercise.


Prince William heading for West Brom
Football Association president Prince William is to visit Sky Bet Championship club West Brom as part of his mental well-being campaign Heads Up.
The Duke of Cambridge is to meet with head coach Slaven Bilic and members of the first team on Thursday, November 28 to discuss what the club describe as “some of the pressures they face as players, and the impact these challenges can often have upon their mental well-being”.
The Duke will also spend time with young players from Albion’s academy, and will join a session on mental health run by a first-team player.
The club has introduced the sessions to ensure young players are better able to cope with the challenges and potential setbacks they could face during their careers.
Speaking on the club website, captain Chris Brunt said: “We are obviously pleased and proud to offer our support to The Duke’s efforts.
“As we learn more and more about the importance of mental well-being, it seems clear that we should use the game’s profile to encourage everyone to talk about these issues.”
The Duke’s season-long Heads Up campaign is using the influence and popularity of football to show the nation that mental health is as important as physical health.


Virtual Reality or simply VR, is a simulated experience that can be similar to or completely different from the real world.
Applications of virtual reality can include entertainment (videogames, television, movies) and educational purposes (medical training, military training). Currently, standard virtual reality systems use either virtual reality headsets or multi-projected environments to generate realistic images, sounds and other sensations that simulate a user's physical presence in a virtual environment.
Here is an example of a popular virtual reality company, Oculus, showcasing their produce called "Rift".
A person using virtual reality equipment is able to look around the artificial world, move around in it, and interact with virtual features or items. The effect is commonly created by VR headsets consisting of a head-mounted display with a small screen in front of the eyes, but can also be created through specially designed rooms with multiple large screens. Virtual reality typically incorporates auditory and video feedback, but may also allow other types of sensory and force feedback through haptic technology.
