Activity prediction¶
One of the remaining problems with the previous two solutions is that they use a general relocator, instead of a custom one. A custom relocator has several advantages, of which the most important is addition of domain specific information. A relocator might not only know how to perform the best relocations (instead of simply mutating the border), but might also be able to predict how the activity will evolve in the future and already take some measures to speed up the future.
A custom relocator also allows us to have a radically different concept of activity than was previously possible. As a simple example, models might return their energy consumption as their activity and the relocator then tries to minimise this value by performing some (domain-specific) relocations.
An example of how to use a user-defined relocator (located in the file “relocatorFile”, with classname “Relocator”):
sim = Simulator(MyModel())
# Note that additional parameters can be passed to the method
# these will then be passed to the constructor of the provided relocator
sim.setActivityRelocatorCustom("relocatorFile", "Relocator")
Writing a relocator¶
Writing a relocator yourself is somewhat more difficult, as it offers a lot of possibilities. There are 2 important methods to define: getRelocations(GVT, activities, horizon) and useLastStateOnly().
The useLastStateOnly() is simple and should return a boolean. If the boolean is False, all activities within the passed time will be accumulated into a single value, which indicates the activity of this model. This is required if the activity is e.g. the total time taken by the transition functions.
Should the boolean be True, only the final state will be used to determine the activity. This will effectively drop all information that was gathered during the simulation and only return the activity that was determined at the final simulation step (up to the GVT). While it does not show complete behaviour of the model, it provides a (consistent!) snapshot of the complete model. A simple use case could be when modelling a road, where the amount of cars on the road determine the activity. If every road then returns 1 if there is a car on it and 0 otherwise, the activity information can be used to fetch all models that contained a car.

Celebrating the feast of St. Gregorios of Parumala
by Staff ReporterSt. Gregorios Orthodox Syrian church at Mira Bhayandar, a Kerala-based Christian orthodox church, under the Diocese of Bombay is celebrating the feast of St. Gregorios of Parumala and culmination of silver jubilee on November 16 and 17. A procession to commemorate the occasion will be taken out from Indralok St. Mary’s cross vault to the church at 7 p.m. on November 16.
The programme to be attended by H.G .Geevarghese Mar Coorilose, metropolitan of Bombay Diocese, the Archbishop, mayor of Mira-Bhayandar Municipal Corporation, and local MLAs will be held at Divine Mercy Catholic church hall, Ramdev Park.


In the temperate region of the southern hemisphere (represented by countries such as Chile, Argentina, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa), influenza activity continues to decrease or return to baseline.
Active transmission persists in tropical regions of the Americas and Asia. Many countries in Central America and the Caribbean continue to report declining activity for the second week in a row. However, countries in the tropical region of South America (represented by countries such as Bolivia, Ecuador, and Venezuela) are reporting increasing levels of respiratory disease. In the tropical regions of Asia, respiratory disease activity remains geographically regional or widespread but the trend is generally increasing as noted in India, Bangladesh, and Cambodia.
In the temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere activity is variable. In the United States, regional increases in influenza activity are being reported, most notably in the south eastern states. Most of Europe is reporting low or moderate respiratory diseases activity, but parts of Eastern Europe are beginning to report increases in activity.
WHO Collaborating Centres and other laboratories continue to report sporadic isolates of oseltamivir resistant influenza virus. 21 such virus isolates have now been described from around the world, all of which carry the same H275Y mutation that confers resistance to the antiviral oseltamivir but not to the antiviral zanamivir. Of these, 12 have been associated with post-exposure prophylaxis, four with long term oseltamivir treatment in patients with immunosuppression. Worldwide, over 10,000 isolates of the pandemic (H1N1) 2009 virus have been tested and found to be sensitive to oseltamivir. WHO will continue to monitor the situation closely in collaboration with its partners, but is not changing its guidelines for use of antiviral drugs at this time.
Pandemic (H1N1) influenza virus continues to be the predominant circulating virus of influenza, both in the northern and southern hemisphere. All pandemic H1N1 2009 influenza viruses analysed to date have been antigenically and genetically similar to A/California/7/2009-like pandemic H1N1 2009 virus. See below for detailed laboratory surveillance update.
Of note, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention this week reported on an analysis of 36 fatal pandemic influenza cases in children under the age of 18 years. Sixty-seven percent of the children had one or more high-risk medical conditions, most commonly neurodevelopmental disorders. In addition, ten of 23 children for whom data were available were found to have strong evidence of secondary bacterial co-infections.
The qualitative indicators monitor: the global geographic spread of influenza, trends in acute respiratory diseases, the intensity of respiratory disease activity, and the impact of the pandemic on health-care services.
The maps below display information on the qualitative indicators reported during weeks 29 to 34. Information is available for approximately 60 countries each week. Implementation of this monitoring system is ongoing and completeness of reporting is expected to increase over time.
The countries and overseas territories/communities that have newly reported their first pandemic (H1N1) 2009 confirmed case(s) since the last web update (No. 64) as of 6 September 2009 are:
Lesotho and Angola.
*Given that countries are no longer required to test and report individual cases, the number of cases reported actually understates the real number of cases.

That grumbling complainant Tim Thurn, who seems to read these pages for no other reason than to find things to whinge about, has sent in another missive:
Dear Mr Key, he writes, It is little more than a week since you resuscitated Hooting Yard, and in that short time you have written about swans and swains. Do you not think it would be better to leave a gap between such near-homophones, say a month or two? I cannot be your only reader who has failing eyesight and who can thus become confused, when peering at my computer screen, wondering if an item about swains is a continuation of some drivel about swans, or vice versa. Yours tetchily, Tim Thurn
All I can say in response is that I hope Tim's bedizenment was not so great that in failing to distinguish between swains and swans he fell into a swoon.

Tasks¶
Registering a Task¶
Any Python function can be attributed with tasks.bind() to register it as a Flink Task. Multiple tasks may be invoked by a single Stateful Function:
@tasks.bind()
def multiply(x, y):
return x * y
@tasks.bind()
def subtract(x, y):
return x - y
@functions.bind("example/worker", specs=tasks.value_specs())
async def worker(context, message):
await tasks.run_async(context, message)
Error Handling¶
Exceptions thrown by a task can either be passed back to the caller or they can trigger a retry. Retry parameters are set using a RetryPolicy:
@tasks.bind(retry_policy=RetryPolicy(retry_for=[ValueError], max_retries=2, delay=timedelta(seconds=5), exponential_backoff=True))
def unreliable_task():
...
Calling a Task¶
Tasks can be called using the FlinkTasksClient:
result = multiply(3, 2) # direct function call for testing
task = multiply.send(3, 2)
result = await client.submit_async(task) # indirect invocation as a Flink Task

I would like to begin by stating outright - in my opinion this substance is very different than mdma. For the first time I went into a first time trial run with a preconceived notion of what the experience should be like. What a grave mistake... next stop - disappointment.
I read a few comments on IAP, a couple of experience reports, and one paper on experiments to discern why mdma (and other chemicals) can cause brain damage, and how that damage changes with different chemicals' modes of action. I believe it is this paper that caused the confusion revolving around the chemical's likeness to mdma. All the paper stated was the similarity of the two in terms of trained rats not distinguishing between the two and the absence of any noticeable brain damage (from IAP) when they dissected their brains.
That said, now for the show. So at approx 2pm I weighed out 30mg from my newly acquired gram of IAP, put it into a gelcap, and downed it on an empty stomach with half-a-glass of water. Experience reports I read suggested that the compound should kick in within an hour, building steadily until around the 2 hour point. After an hour and a half I decided to up the dosage by 10mg (parachuted) when there wasn't even a first alert to speak of.
About an hour later(t+2.5)I knew something was cooking, but didn't know why or how. There were no visual, aural, or headspace changes that I could detect at that time. Ok, time to watch some TV until this gets more interesting. An hour later there was still no noticeable difference, so I decided to see if I could augment the experience with some alcohol - the equivalent of 2 drinks (I prefer wine). The effects of the alcohol kicked in very quickly, and seemed to leave just as fast, leaving behind a new feeling... could it be the IAP???
I went into the bathroom to look in the mirror to find my pupils completely contracted, strange when one is under the influence of alcohol, no? And shortly thereafter (t+3:15) I started to feel very different. A low level buzz (equivalent to maybe 30mg AMT) and a change in thinking were present, though I can't pinpoint that change in the least. It was just a general, 'hmmm, something's different.'
While the body buzz came in waves, and eventually changed into a mind buzz (energy that seemed to just reside in my mind, not the jittery sensation of a body buzz), all I noticed were thoughts that came on and left quickly and abruptly. There were no abnormal thoughts, no introspection, and no empathogenic qualities to speak of. This started at about t+4 hours (where I was definitely at a +3) and went through the remaineder of the trip, which seemed to trail off from about t+6.5 until t+8, but I was not left at baseline. It seemed to leave me at like a + 1/2 (shulgin rating) for a very long time, in fact I was there for the next day and a half. Even now, 2 days later I still feel a tad off-baseline, but I can't pinpoint how.
A couple of additions - from time to time as I would watch TV or stare at 2D objects they would appear to pop out... as in become 3-dimensional. Very strange. Also, toward the 5 hour mark, I looked in the mirror and my pupils were completely dilated (as tryptamines tend to do). There were no physical affects to speak of - no GI disturbances, no headache (usual for me when exploring the chemical world).
To sum up - IAP is no mdma substitute, in my opinion. It was an interesting experience (aren't they all), but I don't know if it's one I will be repeating. Now I just need to figure out what to do with the rest! ;-)
Be safe and have fun.

Programming and Math
Minkovski plane cellular automata simulator
Simulator of cellular automata that live on the Minkovski plane - a pseudo-metric space, where the distance between two points is given by Δx²−Δy². It has hyperbolas instead of circles, and every cell has infinite number of neighbors. It is inspired by the "Dichronauts" novel by Greg Egan.
Hyperbolic cellular automata simulator
Simulator of cellular automata, acting on an regular tilingof the hyperbolic plane.
It supports arbitrary large configurations of cells, limited only by available memory.
Reversible Cellular Automata Simulator
Online (no installation needed) simulator of reversible cellular automata with Margolus neighborhood. Blog posts:
- Introduction to reversible cellular automata and simulator.
- Single Rotation rule: remarkably simple and rich rule.
- Alternating rules and knightships
Spaceships of the Single Rotation rule
Single Rotation is a simple reversible cellular automaton, that operates on a field with Margolus neighborhood. Random initial conditions in this rule produce lots of different spaceships, some of them are in this catalog. See blog post for details.
Single Rotation cellular automaton with smooth interpolation
A simulator of the Single Rotation cellular automaton, that tracks positions of the cells and uses Lancsoz interpolation to add an intermediate frames. Its primary purpose is a nice visual effect, for experimenting with reversible cellular automata see online simulator.
Reversible CA Collider
A tool to automatically catalogize collisions of simple patterns in reversible cellular automata.
3D version of the Single Rotation simulator with smoothing
3-dimensonal version of the above application, using Web GL for visualization. It displays world lines of the moving cells, as a 3-dimensional curves.

Reversible Cellular Automata applied to image
What if block reversible cellular automaton rule is applied to a raster image? The effect might be curious. This simulator lets you to watch the evolution of the image under reversible rule. The rule is:
- If a 2x2 block of pixeld contains 1 pixel of highly different color, then this block is rotated CV.
Simulator of cellular automata with 2 dimensions of time
Simulate elementary cellular automata with 1 spatial and 2 temporal dimensions. Simulation result is displayed as static 3d object, visualized with Tree.js. See also blog post about it.

This recipe uses tinned pears and apricot jam - making it perfect for winter when there's little fresh fruit in season.
Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6.
Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured work surface and use it to line a 27cm/10¾in loose-bottomed, fluted tin. Line the pastry case with baking parchment or aluminium foil and fill with ceramic baking beans (alternatively use uncooked rice or lentils). Bake blind for 15 minutes, then remove the parchment and baking beans and return the pastry to the oven for an extra eight minutes, or until the pastry looks dry and faintly coloured. Set aside to cool.
Reduce the oven temperature to 180C/350F/Gas 4.
To make the filling, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the ground almonds, flour and eggs. Mix to thoroughly combine. Stir in the vanilla extract and one tablespoon of flaked almonds.
Spread the apricot jam on the base of the cooled pastry case. Spread the frangipane mixture over the apricot jam. Use a pallet knife to smooth the filling. Sit the pears on the filling and gently press them down. Scatter over the remaining flaked almonds.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and golden-brown.
Leave to cool in the tin before serving. Serve with whipped cream.


Everyone who was having problems connecting...!

I looked into the problem this morning and I found that the server's IP address had changed...which is weird because I thought it was static. Anywho, I've mucked up the client a little since the release trying to get it to debut it on everyone's system so I have to undo some of that tonight, change the IP over and recompile then I'll send out the new version.
Moral of the story: don't make assumptions.

readObject
- Description
- returns the datum at the head of the stream as an any.

A type map is registered with the stream by the SDBC driver before the
stream is passed to the application.
When the datum at the head of the stream is a SQL NULL,
the method returns void. If the datum is a SQL structured or distinct
type, it determines the SQL type of the datum at the head of the stream,
constructs an object of the appropriate service, and calls the method
XSQLData::readSQL()
on that object, which reads additional data

PyRadio: Command line internet radio player.
[Back to Build Instructions] [Back to README]
Go to MPlayer’s home and open the download page. Then scroll down to the Binaries section and get to the MPlayer Windows builds page. Then scroll down again until you get to the Build selection table to select an installation bundle.
Note: I am stating here all the links, although all one has to do is get to the last one and download the MPlayer setup. This is done so that in case any of the links change in the future, the way to go will be known, having MPlayer’s home page as a starting point.
You will end up downloading a 7z archive, which contains a directory whose name is similar to MPlayer-corei7-r38135+gb272d5b9b6.
Note: MPlayer provides CPU type dependent builds. In case you select the wrong mplayer build, you will end up connecting to stations but having no sound. If this is the case, please do go back to the download page and get the right build for your system / CPU.
Extract this directory to whatever place you like and rename it to mplayer.
Here comes the tricky part…
Move the mplayer directory to the following location (PyRadio will look for it there, when executed):
In order to do that, open an Explorer File Manager window, and enter “%APPDATA%” at its location field and press ENTER.
If you are unsure on how to do that, please refer to the following image (you can ENTER %APPDATA% or any other Windows System Variable this way).

In Unit 10 we learned how to sew and applied these skills to producing a pair of pajama pants.
I first started the process of making the pajama pants by choosing my fabic which are Zelda themed. After selecting the fabric I cut out the pieces of fabric in the shape I needed to make the pants. I first created my belt for the pants by ironing a long piece of fabric to resemble a string to put along the waist band then sew it shut. The next part was starting to make the actual pants which I began by pinning each leg of the pants together from the bottom. I then sewed the legs and then went to the iron where I flattened the seam. Next I worked on sowing the crotch together after I pinned the crotch together. Once I sewed the crotch I worked to create the hem for the pants. In order to know te measurements for the hem I put on the pants and someone helped pin the hem for me. After getting the measurement I evenly created a hem on both legs and pinned the hem in preparation of the sewing machine. Making these leg hems were one of the most time consuming parts of creating these pants. After sewing up the pant's hems I went to make the waist part for the belt. I finished making the belt hole I encountered the most challenging part of the process which was feeding my belt through the hold because it did not work the first couple times so I ended up taking apart the pants a couple of times in order for the belt to fit. Eventually I got the belt through the pant's waist and finished my pants. In the end, I did not learn anything about a sewing machine or the process because I am really familiar with both.
This image is of the pajama pants I made.

I have been using nitrous oxide on and off for about 3 years. I first heard about it from my friends, and purchased 2 24 packs online. I was conservative at first, waiting maybe 5 minutes between balloons. As I inhaled the sweet gas, it gave me a slight numbing feeling mixed with a warmth all over my body, and the usual warbling in sounds.
That was three years ago. I try as hard as I can not to order it very often, since I've heard that extremely heavy use can cause a b12 deficiency and nerve problems. I don't order a 24 pack or 2 anymore... my last purchase was a case of 360. If I go to have a quick balloon after school or work, it quickly turns into 5 balloons, and before I know it, I'm waking up surrounded by dozens of empties.
The feeling is incredible, but it's impossible for me to control myself. I've reached a plateau with nitrous that I never would have thought was possible. I usually do straight cartridges until I can't... just going from balloon to balloon, trying to just breath in the sweet nitrous without letting any air in the way. I feel a warmth all over my body, and it gets to the point where I can't even move anymore... I'll just lay on my bed panting, desperately needing to get some sleep.
While the feeling is incredible, it's very difficult to control. If I ever end up in the same room as a tank, I wouldn't survive the night. Nitrous can be dangerously addictive.

THE VERY THOUGHT OF YOU A film review by Steve Rhodes Copyright 1999 Steve Rhodes RATING (0 TO ****): * 1/2
Martha (Monica Potter from PATCH ADAMS), who hails from the home of the Mall of America, is off on a one-way ticket to London because the price was right. With less than $200 to her name, the penniless Martha snagged a bargain ticket. She's left behind her drug-dealer infested tenement building, and she's off now to live in London on the $32 she has left in her purse.
In a movie that never rings true, Martha is the most unbelievable character of the lot. Although writer Peter Morgan would have us believe that this woman, who has been turned down for a dozen jobs in the past year, is destitute, she appears nothing of the sort. With fashion model looks, make-up, clothing and jewelry, Martha doesn't appear to have ever come any closer to poverty than an overcharged American Express Platinum card.
A supposedly unsuccessful woman, she has an unrealistically simplistic outlook. "All of my life I was told that if I worked hard and stayed out of trouble, my life would be a fairy tale." She's depressed because she's never met her Prince Charming.
In a story of overlapping chance encounters, Martha ends up being the would-be girlfriend of three English buddies.
The first of these we meet is Laurence (Joseph Fiennes from SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE), a champion bridge player, who makes his living teaching the game to flocks of middle-age women. The slow paced movie has him telling the story in flashback to his psychiatrist neighbor, Dr. Pederer (Ray Winstone).  Still, his dour look is so exceedingly handsome it almost makes up for his character's lack of energy.
The first of these childhood buddies to fall under Martha's spell is Daniel (Tom Hollander). A fabulously wealthy record producer, he's used to hitting on every pretty woman who comes within flirting distance. A proudly shallow bloke, he had his library filled with second-hand books by his interior decorator in order to create the illusion of an enhanced intellectual capacity.
The other friend in this male trio is Frank (Rufus Sewell), a cynic who wears his obnoxiousness on his rumpled sleeve. He likes nothing better than showing off his crude behavior by obscene verbal jousting with his buddies. Like Laurence, Frank, with his 2-day beard and disheveled clothing, always looks like he just woke from a long drinking binge.
In The World According to Frank, art galleries exist solely for men to find women to lay. His ideal partner, the egotistical Franks boasts, is himself. Or more precisely, himself "with breasts."
As ploddingly directed by Nick Hamm, the movie is a romance without much genuine chemistry and a comedy without any laughs. Best viewed as a small, melancholic drama, the by-the-numbers story takes few chances. Why couldn't the writer introduce some ambiguity and real mystery into the tale and not make the outcome so obvious?
The movie's saving grace, to the extent it has any, is a nice but completely predictable conclusion. The ending's few fun twists add a little spice to an otherwise bland film.
THE VERY THOUGHT OF YOU runs 1:28. It is rated R for profanity and would be acceptable for teenagers. [We saw the film abroad without the aid of an MPAA rating and suspected, incorrectly, that it was a PG-13 film.]
My son Jeffrey, age 10, didn't think much of the movie, giving it just * 1/2. He didn't like Frank's language and found the story confusing at times. He was, however, enthralled with Monica Potter, saying "man, she was gorgeous."
The film, which is playing now in Australia, will open later this summer in the United States. It was released last year in Britain with the title of MARTHA, MEET FRANK, DANIEL AND LAURENCE.

## Common Scenario
Having to set up a simple object (_dictionary_, _name-value_ array) as an entity property is a common _use case_.
The `PacemNameValueListElement` is tailored to this kind of scenario.
Here's an exemplification of a typical dictionary editing, where names should be unique.
Flag `dictionary` is set to **true**;
## Name-Value List
If the `dictionary` flag is **false** (default), then the value is interpreted as an array of name / value items (type: `{ name: string, value: any }`).
> Toggling the `dictionary` flag between `true` and `false` makes the component guess the best translation between object and typed array.

Al Pacino rallies Nazi hunters in violent trailer for Jordan Peele's new show
Al Pacino rallies a group of vigilante Nazi killers into action in the violent trailer for Jordan Peele’s new show Hunters.
The series is set in 70s New York and a group of young people are recruited to track down and dispatch high-ranking Nazi officials who are living among the people.

The trailer is accompanied by a speech from Pacino’s character, who says: ‘There comes a time where we all must choose between the light and the darkness. But when there’s great darkness in this world, perhaps a choice is made for us.
‘For eons, people like us have been degraded and exterminated, but no more. There is evil among us and you must remember, this evil starts with but a spot inside of them. Then it grows to a stain. Then it becomes a scourge. And we can’t know such evil until it strikes.

‘So the time to act is now before everything we hold dear to us is destroyed. This is not murder. This is mitzvah. Welcome to the hunt.’
After that the trailer kicks up a gear as the Hunters eliminate their hateful targets, with Pacino himself getting in on the action by brutally stabbing someone in the hand.
The drama boasts a diverse cast with Logan Lerman, Jerrika Hinton, Josh Radnor, Kate Mulvany, Tiffany Boone, Greg Austin, Louis Ozawa Changchien, Carol Kane, Saul Rubinek, Dylan Baker and Lena Olin all having roles.
Executive produced by Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions, the seres is created by David Weil who also serves as executive producer and showrunner with Nikki Toscano.
Hunters drops on Amazon Prime in 2020.

METROLAND (Lions Gate) Starring: Christian Bale, Emily Watson, Lee Ross, Elsa Zylberstein. Screenplay: Adrian Hodges, based on the novel by Julian Barnes. Producer: Andrew Bender. Director: Philip Saville. MPAA Rating: R (sexual situations, nudity, adult themes, profanity, drug use) Running Time: 101 minutes. Reviewed by Scott Renshaw.
 The protagonist can easyily become unsympathetic, his introspection little more than self-indulgence. It's rare to find a character with the potential to turn a family man's grass-is-always-greener musings into something compelling, but that's exactly what we find in Chris Lloyd (Christian Bale), the central figure in METROLAND. What a shame that potential isn't remotely realized. METROLAND is a character study with huge chunks of context missing, a surface-level gloss on the clash between youthful idealism and adult responsibility.
The story opens in 1977, where advertising man Chris is living with his wife Marion (Emily Watson) and infant daughter in the London suburb of Eastwood, a bedroom community dubbed "Metroland" for its dependence on rail commuters. Chris feels a vague discontent with his domestic life, a discontent that becomes more palpable with a visit from his childhood friend Toni (Lee Ross). An itinerant would-be writer still living free and easy, Toni inspires Chris to reflect on the path that led to his own domesticity. In flashback we see Chris first as a rebellious teen in 1963, then as an aspiring photographer living in Paris five years later. There he has a sexual affair with a French woman named Annick (Elsa Zylberstein), an affair that haunts him with thoughts of a life that might have been
Plenty of things about Chris are intriguing conceptually. As a youth, and again as an adult, he is convinced by Toni that life in this "bourgeois" world is pathetic, a shabby substitute for a life of art and random affairs. What Chris finds hard to accept is that Metroland is actually the world he prefers. He drifts from Annick to Marion because he feels disconnected from the life he craves, then he drifts from Marion because he thinks he has sold out the bold dreams of his youth, even though he was never entirely committed to them. As mid-life crisis material goes, this is pretty unique stuff: a man who strays not so much because he's unhappy with what he has, but because he figures he's _supposed_ to be unhappy.
Don't make the mistake of assuming director Philip Saville and screenwriter Adrian Hodges will flesh out those ideas. For all its flashing back, METROLAND never portrays Chris interacting with his family as a youth to provide background for his feelings about suburbia. It never spends enough time developing the friendship with Toni that will color Chris' entire life. It never explores Toni's character in any depth, relying on third-party psychoanalysis to explain his motivations. There's a consistent superficiality to METROLAND, a refusal to give the characters a depth that makes plot developments -- like a late revelation regarding Marion -- feel anything but arbitrary and exploitative.
There's some nice atmosphere to METROLAND, particularly from Mark Knopfler's silky score and an effective period look, but it doesn't come close to making up for the narrative shortcomings. It doesn't help that Seville uses inefficient techniques like cross-cutting with 1977 Chris' pondering face throughout the 1968 flashbacks, or that Christian Bale's performance is most notable for his perpetual petulant pout. It's a film in which the only clarity comes from its most obvious observations. METROLAND is a missed opportunity to give thematic weight to a mid-life crisis, leaving yet another story of a horny husband trying to be 21 again.
On the Renshaw scale of 0 to 10 rail passes: 4.

Basic usage
Simple usage¶
Embed to the sketches¶
How embed the AutoConnect to the sketches you have. Most simple approach to applying AutoConnect for the existing sketches, follow the below steps.
- Insert
#include <AutoConnect.h>
to behind of#include <ESP8266WebServer.h>
. - Insert
AutoConnect PORTAL(WEBSERVER);
to behind ofESP8266WebServer WEBSERVER;
declaration.1 - Remove
WiFi.begin(SSID,PSK)
and the subsequent logic for the connection status check. - Replace
WEBSERVER.begin()
toPORTAL.begin()
.2 - Replace
WEBSERVER.handleClient()
toPORTAL.handleClient()
.3 - If the connection checks logic is needed, you can check the return value according to
PORTAL.begin()
withtrue
orfalse
.
Basic usage¶
Basic logic sequence for the user sketches¶
1. A typical logic sequence¶
- Include headers,
ESP8266WebServer.h
andAutoConnect.h
- Declare ESP8266WebServer variable.
- Declare AutoConnect variable.
- Implements the URL handler with the function().
- setup()
5.1 Sets URL handler function() to ESP8266WebServer byESP8266WebServer::on
.
5.2 StartsAutoConnect::begin()
.
5.3 Check WiFi connection status. - loop()
6.1 InvokesAutoConnect::handleClient()
, or invokesESP8266WebServer::handleClient()
thenAutoConnect::handleRequest()
.
6.2 Do the process for actual sketch.
2. Declare AutoConnect object¶
Two options are available for AutoConnect constructor.
AutoConnect VARIABLE(&ESP8266WebServer);
AutoConnect VARIABLE;
-
The parameter with an ESP8266WebServer variable: An ESP8266WebServer object variable must be declared. AutoConnect uses its variable to handles the AutoConnect menu.
-
With no parameter: The sketch does not declare ESP8266WebServer object. In this case, AutoConnect allocates an instance of the ESP8266WebServer internally. The logic sequence of the sketch is somewhat different as the above. To register a URL handler function by ESP8266WebServer::on should be performed after AutoConnect::begin.
3. No need WiFI.begin(...)¶
AutoConnect internally performs WiFi.begin to establish a WiFi connection. There is no need for a general process to establish a connection using WiFi.begin with a sketch code.
4. Alternate ESP8266WebServer::begin()¶
AutoConnect::begin executes ESP8266WebServer::begin internally too and it starts the DNS server to behave as a Captive portal. So it is not needed to call ESP8266WebServer::begin with the sketch.
Why DNS Server starts
AutoConnect traps the detection of the captive portal and achieves a connection with the WLAN interactively by the AutoConnect menu. It responds SoftAP address to all DNS queries temporarily to trap. When the WLAN connection establishes, then stops DNS server.
5. AutoConnect::begin with SSID and Password¶
SSID and Password can also specify by AutoConnect::begin. ESP8266 uses provided SSID and Password explicitly. If the connection false with specified SSID with Password then a captive portal is activated. SSID and Password are not present, ESP8266 SDK will attempt to connect using the still effectual SSID and password. Usually, it succeeds.
6. Use ESP8266WebServer::on to handle URL¶
AutoConnect is designed to coexist with the process for handling the web pages by user sketches. The page processing function which will send an HTML to the client invoked by the "on::ESP8266WebServer" function is the same as when using ESP8266WebServer natively.
7. Use either ESP8266WebServer::handleClient() or AutoConnect::handleClient()¶
Both classes member function name is the same: handleClient, but the behavior is different. Using the AutoConnect embedded along with ESP8266WebServer::handleClient has limitations. Refer to the below section for details.
ESP8266WebServer hosted or parasitic¶
The interoperable process with an ESP8266WebServer depends on the parameters of the AutoConnect constructor.
| Declaration parameter for the constructor | Use ESP8266WebServer::handleClient only | Use AutoConnect::handleClient |
|---|---|---|
| None | AutoConnect menu not available. To use AutoConnect menu, need AutoConnect::handleRequest(). also to use ESP8266WebServer natively, need AutoConnect::host(). |
AutoConnect menu available. To use ESP8266WebServer natively, need AutoConnect::host(). |
| Reference to ESP8266WebServer | AutoConnect menu not available. To use AutoConnect menu, need AutoConnect::handleRequest(). |
AutoConnect menu available. |
-
By declaration for the AutoConnect variable with no parameter: The ESP8266WebServer instance is hosted by AutoConnect automatically then the sketches use AutoConnect::host as API to get it after AutoConnect::begin performed.
-
By declaration for the AutoConnect variable with the reference of ESP8266WebServer: AutoConnect will use it. The sketch can use it is too.
-
In use ESP8266WebServer::handleClient(): AutoConnect menu can be dispatched but not works normally. It is necessary to call AutoConnect::handleRequest after ESP8255WebServer::handleClient invoking.
-
In use AutoConnect::handleClient(): The handleClient() process and the AutoConnect menu is available without calling ESP8266WebServer::handleClient.
Why AutoConnect::handleRequest is needed when using ESP8266::handleClient
The AutoConnect menu function may affect WiFi connection state. It follows that the menu process must execute outside ESP8266WebServer::handleClient.
AutoConnect::handleClient is equivalent ESP8266WebServer::handleClient included AutoConnect::handleRequest.
-
Each VARIABLE conforms to the actual declaration in the sketches. ↩
-
WiFi SSID and Password can be specified AutoConnect::begin() too. ↩
-

BASKET CASE 2 A review in the public domain by The Phantom<EMAIL_ADDRESS>In his previous review (of NIGHTBREED), the Phantom's lead paragraph was only slightly less self-referential than this one is, but there he did it only because he admires style over substance in all things, his own reviews included. This review, however, does require the Phantom to discuss some of the background of BASKET CASE 2, for without it he doesn't know what some of his phans will make of it. Certainly if one expects an ordinary "slasher/alien pops out from behind a headstone/under a staircase and stabs/kills/rips the limbs off of a hapless teenager just after/just before having sex" horror film, one will be sorely disappointed. BASKET CASE 2 may be a lot of things, but ordinary it is not. And with that said, please allow the Phantom to discuss a bit of the film's background so that we may all understand exactly what it is that he is reviewing.
In 1982, Frank Henenlotter directed BASKET CASE, a film that in many ways anticipated Stuart Gordon's later REANIMATOR. It was a film that was part horror and part comedy and was done with tongue firmly in cheek. BASKET CASE told the story of Siamese twins Duane and Belial (joined at the side), and of what happens once they're separated.
Although Duane is of average height and build and looks relatively normal, his brother Belial stands about 2 feet tall, has arms growing out of the sides of his head, and has very sharp, pointed teeth. Actually, he doesn't really stand at all, since he doesn't have feet in the commonly understood sense of the word. So how does he get around? Well, Duane carries him in a large wicker basket, which serves the dual purpose of getting Belial around the city and keeping him hidden from those who might not be as understanding as his brother.
Sounds a little out of the ordinary, right? Phans, Frank Henenlotter has done some things that would make even Stuart Gordon look away in shame.  The parasite looks a bit like a snake with hands and has, among other things, a marvelous singing voice. "Offbeat" is clearly putting it mildly.
Duane is forcibly separated from his brother by his well-meaning parents who want only for him to be able to live a normal life, and who think that having an extra head with arms growing out of his side would at the very least lessen Duane's chances of getting a date for the prom. But Belial doesn't want to be separated from his beloved brother, and neither does Duane, since both brothers always enjoyed a, shall we say, close relationship, including the ability to communicate via a form of ESP. But separated they are, and in revenge Belial kills the doctors who performed the operation and escapes to New York City with brother Duane and his wicker basket.
The Phantom won't give away any more of the original film, but suffice it to say that things get steadily stranger from there. You didn't think that was possible, did you?
BASKET CASE was notable for being shot on a shoestring budget (the Phantom thinks it was transferred from 16mm, but he's not sure) and yet not being at all compromised by a lack of special-effects funds. It also became an overnight cult classic in the way that most films become cult classics: by being very silly, by looking somewhat amateurish, and by being a lot of fun.
BASKET CASE 2 is, obviously, a sequel to the original. The story picks up where the last one left off, with Duane and Belial falling to their (assumed) deaths from the top floor of a Times Square hotel room. [Reviewer's note to his New York City phans: this was before the days of the Marriott Marquis and other 50-story midtown monstrosities. Just as well, as no special effects department in the world could ever design a creature as ugly as the Marquis.] Do they die? Well, no spoilers here, phans, but no, they don't. Surprise! Just remember, horror personalities never die, they just become Jason-ized, a process that freezes the characters for a period of one year, or until the video release of the last episode, whichever comes first. In this case it just took a little longer.
So Duane and Belial are hospitalized, and before long they find themselves in the home of Granny Ruth, a good-hearted soul whose mission in life is to give "unique individuals" the privacy and respect they deserve. By the way, the Phantom likes that particular euphemism a lot and intends to use it the next time one of his readers accuses him of holding freakish opinions. No, he'll retort, they are *not* freakish. They're unique.
Well, Granny has more than just a good heart; she also has an attic full of what look to be NIGHTBREED extras. These unique individuals are certainly unique, but it's a shame that BASKET CASE 2 was released so soon after NIGHTBREED, since some of the makeup loses its effectiveness that way. It's not that the makeup is inferior, it's just that at the moment we horror fans are suffering from what the Phantom likes to call Jabba-the-Hut syndrome: too much plot in service of the special effects department (particularly the makeup department) and not the other way around.
As expected, things don't stay calm and quiet around Granny's house for long. Soon a reporter from the local Enquirer clone ("BABY RAISED BY HUMMINGBIRDS" reads one of the headlines on the publisher's wall) comes snooping around, hot on the trail of the fugitive brothers and eager to start raking in those book, paperback, movie-of-the-week, film, and video residuals. Aren't we all?
The Phantom won't go further with his plot synopsis, since the film proceeds in fairly standard form from there. So what makes BASKET CASE 2 a cut above the usual horror fare? A few things, but most notably the way Henenlotter handles the age-old story of an individual feeling alone and freakish, different from everyone else and so isolated from society. This film, like its predecessors BASKET CASE and BRAIN DAMAGE has a heart to it -- no matter how absurd things get, at base there's a story that people can relate to, and it's possible to identify with the characters. Well, at least Duane, although there have been those Monday mornings when the Phantom thinks he knows pretty much how Belial feels as well.
He also thinks that it would be best if his phans would rent the original before seeing BASKET CASE 2, since he doesn't believe that they would really enjoy as much otherwise. Unlike its predecessor, BASKET CASE 2 is low budget, but not shoestring budget, and so the unsuspecting might not realize that deep down it's still a jokey continuation of the original; although the Phantom greatly enjoyed the film, he doesn't think that it could stand well on its own. This is true, of course, of many sequels, but the Phantom thinks that it is especially true of this one -- if you haven't seen the original BASKET CASE, you might not get all the jokes, and if you don't get all the jokes you won't enjoy yourself as much as you should.
But don't be fooled into thinking that BASKET CASE 2 makes no sense on its own -- it does, and it can certainly be enjoyed apart from the original. Although the film tends to slow down at points, it is generally well-paced and -plotted, and the makeup and special effects are used well. The film's editing and direction are tight and crisp -- Henenlotter has complete control of this film from the very beginning, and he has a real flair for making even the most outrageous of situations seem perfectly plausible.
One of the most outrageous situations in the film is that of Duane himself, since he's played by the same actor who portrayed him in the original. Yet because the sequel begins only moments after the original ends, we're suddenly confronted with an actor who is obviously in his thirties and who looks nothing at all like he did when he starred in the original BASKET CASE eight years ago. It's a tribute to Henenlotter that Duane's appearance is more difficult to accept than is Belial's.
The Phantom was also delighted to see that Frito-Lay products -- especially Doritos -- and Jolt cola are the official snack foods of Duane, Belial, and other unique individuals. There are also a lot of Televideo terminals about, and at times the Phantom actually found himself cringing in his seat at the thought that someone would -- gasp! -- use one. "No! Lady! Don't go into that office! Don't touch that keyboard!" he found himself screaming at one point. The Phantom chalks this up to his own traumatic experiences with Televideo equipment in his distant past; the reactions of other viewers may, of course, be different.
But the Phantom won't hold the blatant product placement against Henenlotter and the film; after all, one must have some respect for a director who could convince several major corporations to willingly lend support for a movie like BASKET CASE 2, which even the Phantom must admit is rather out of the mainstream. A long way from Jay Leno to Belial, no? Suddenly "Crunch all you want -- we'll make more!" takes on a whole new meaning....
The sound and music are both above average, and although the cinematography is fairly standard, there is some interesting and clever camera work at times. And surprise of surprises, it ends well. Imagine, a real ending -- one that doesn't look like it was an afterthought or a "suggestion" by the studio.
What more could one ask for? The Phantom heartily recommends BASKET CASE 2 -- as in fact he does all of Henenlotter's work -- and thinks that phans who get in on the joke will enjoy this film more than some of its recent competition, NIGHTBREED included.
By the way, for those phans who are now intrigued by Mr. Henenlotter and are slavering to know more about him, watch for his next film, FRANKENHOOKER, currently scheduled for spring or summer release. Previews for this epic were shown before BASKET CASE 2 (as they're both from Shapiro/Glickenhaus); having seen the preview and considered the title, the Phantom thinks that Stuart Gordon is going to have to get cracking, since it appears that Henenlotter has just upped the ante.

I never understood why so many technical blogs organize their posts by date. Newer content isn't always better.
Searching posts by date is cumbersome when a blog has too many posts. I believe that a category-based overview is much better.
