Security Negligence? San Antonio, TX Apartment Complex Shooting Leaves Two Men Fatally Injured.
San Antonio, TX Apartment Complex Shooting Leaves Two MenFatally Injured. (KENS5.com)
Did negligent security contribute to the shooting death at a San Antonio apartment complex and are justice and compensation available to the victims families? Read Our Legal Take below to find out what legal options are available.
Two men are dead after a shooting at a San Antonio, TX apartment complex late Sunday night, May 1, 2022.
As reported by KENS5.com, "[a]partment resident heard gunshots around 11:15 p.m. on Sunday in the 100 block of Rustleaf Drive."
KSAT.com is reporting, "[o]fficers who responded to a 911 call…found the bodies of two men in the laundry room of the complex."
Residents and guests of apartment complexes have a right to feel safe and secure while on the premises. The level of security provided at the complex is of significance, and is a relevant consideration when analyzing whether this shooting may have been prevented. The following questions are also important in assessing whether this incident may have been avoided:
What security measures were in place to deter crime and protect the victims at the time of the shooting?
Property owners are generally required to protect against foreseeable harm to anyone and everyone legally on the premises. Should the investigation into this incident reveal facts that establish that the complex owner or management lacked adequate security to protect its residents and visitors, the families of the victims may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims and substantial compensation for their loss.
The Murray Law Firm has extensive and successful experience in handling security negligence claims on behalf of victims and their families, and suggests that an immediate, unbiased inspection of the property will need to be performed so as to limit evidence from being altered, damaged or destroyed. The complexities of pursuing a negligent security case are well understood by the legal team at The Murray Law Firm, and it is imperative that the families of the victims retain a capable law firm who will work without delay to protect their interests.

Believe the central dogma of molecular biology? Think again. Next-generation sequencing of the transcriptome reveals an abundance of transcripts that are edited to be different from their genomic sequence. These edited transcripts result in a cascade of functional consequences: some are essential for survival, while others are incredibly detrimental. Come learn about this fascinating biology and the computational approaches we implement to further our investigations in RNA-editing.

Schedule a Session with James!
Manalima Lomilomi is a combination of several techniques, some of which were handed down to me by my Kupuna (ancestors) and from teachings I received from Hawaiian Lomilomi Masters and Maori Healers. It is a way of looking at the body in the holistic sense through the mind, body, spirit connection. Manalima Lomilomi helps to reestablish the natural energetic flow of the body.
Manalima translated means the Power, (Mana) of the hands, (Lima) The word Lomilomi is the movement of energy through the physical body by manipulating the energetic flow through touch, the applying of pressure, and prayer.
By affecting the energetic flow through a person's body Lomilomi can help release the physical pain or trauma and relax the entire being. Given the right circumstances it can assist in a letting go of old beliefs, patterns and behaviors. These limited thought forms are stored not just in your brain, it is also in the cells of your body down to the DNA structure. People generally think of memory, beliefs, our "programming," as being stored in our brain. Our memories and behaviors are in fact stored in all the cells of our body.
During a Manalima Lomilomi session, we explore the core issue of your concern. Together — and this is the key — we talk to your unihilipi (the uncounscious self) through your kino (physical body) to access your uhane (Higher Self). We look for the root or original cause and create a vibrational shift. We find the habituated pattern or thought form and shift it in such a profound way that most people feel almost immediate relief .
Every Manalima Lomilomi session builds on the previous work, creating a momentum of greater expansion, freedom, and connection to Self as Source Energy. To help meet your needs, a variety of packages and pricing are available.
All sessions to be paid in full prior to your scheduled appointment.

'Poker Face' is the millennial 'Columbo' riff I've been waiting for
Natasha Lyonne is a gritty New Yorker solving crimes on the road.
Daniel Cooper
NBC Universal
Poker Face isn't the sort of show that can be spoiled, but have a warning anyway.
I always think there's been a gulf between production-line TV and its prestige brethren, but that the internet helped demarcate its edges. NCIS was the most-watched drama series in the US from 2009 onwards, but you don't see The Ringer giving an essay-length breakdown to every episode. These days, prestige drama in the peak-TV mold is pored over and chewed around by the internet sausage machine. Everything else is deemed disposable, despite the obvious and sustained success of the stuff most people are actually watching on broadcast networks. There's a lot of snobbery there, but also I suspect the The Rookie audience isn't too fussed about reading a 2,000-word breakdown by an underemployed Yale grad about last night's Nathan Fillion fights crime action.
Poker Face, then, is an attempt by what I'll only-slightly-sarcastically call "prestige TV people" into making production-line TV. Like when a stuffy gourmet chef wants to burnish their "down with the kids" credentials by making the sort of dirty burger you can only appreciate at 3am. Interesting then that, despite the fact its co-creator and star are both poster children for Netflix's revolution, that the show was set up at Peacock. Created by Rian Johnson, fresh from the success of Glass Onion: A Benoit Blanc Mystery, and Russian Doll's Natasha Lyonne, Poker Face is an unashamed homage to a lost age of TV. Or, you know, lost if you're not paying attention to whatever CBS is showing on Thursday and Sunday nights.
Lyonne stars as Charlie Cale, a woman with a troubled past who has developed the miraculous ability to tell when someone is lying. After attempting to use her talent to get rich quickly on a lazy poker tour across the US, she's caught by a Reno casino magnate. He offers her a hostess job, in exchange for not murdering her to death, making her promise not to use her talent again. When he retires, and his grabby son takes over, he opts to use her talent rather than keep it hidden, embroiling both of them in a murder mystery. Which eventually leads her taking a road trip in her Plymouth Barracuda, solving murders wherever she goes.
And, certainly, the show has leant into the idea that Poker Face is probably the closest thing we're going to get to a millennial Columbo remake. Certainly, the creative team haven't been shy about drawing the parallels between the '70s classic (and, uh 80/90s less classic) and this. It uses the same Inverted Detective Story structure, with the lead character absent in the first act while we see how the murder was committed and the attempts to build a watertight alibi. Not to mention the choice to title the show with boldface yellow text, complete with copyright date under the title card, and its overall ethos. You've got a streetwise, rough-around-the-edges New Yorker with a knack for solving crimes and a classic car. And, much like in its inspiration, Lyonne is going up against a series of A- and B-list guest stars, since the most famous guest star (or stars) is the one that did the murder.
Image of Natasha Lyonne in aviator sunglasses and a trucker hat, holding her leather jacket over her left shoulder. She is standing outdoors, but the image is sufficiently blown out that you can just about see some foliage behind, and the hint of a house.
The differences are mostly down to packaging, since Columbo was conceived as a series of movies-of-the-month. (Columbo was originally 90 minutes, but many episodes were "supersized" to two full hours, very commonly to their detriment.) Poker Face is set up as an "episodic" case-of-the-week show, with streaming's runtime freedom meaning that some episodes run between 80 minutes and just 50 minutes, when the plot is slender enough to justify the trim. That's good, because it rarely feels like any episode overstays its welcome, and they often skip along at a breezy old clip.
But this efficiency also robs us of one of the highlights that made classic Columbo as it could often be. Watching a short, scrappy, working-class cop square off against higher status opposition was always a delight. And the show would build up to these confrontations, parceling them out along the way toward the eventual denouement. Star Peter Falk was a great, if difficult, actor, and he would often be squaring off against one of his real-life friends, each one a superstar. And they would load each confrontation with depth, nuance and tension as Lt. Columbo sliced apart their "watertight" alibi with a razor blade. Watching Falk against John Cassavetes, Patrick McGoohan, Robert Culp or the amazing Jack Cassidy was electrifying television. And all of this is cast aside, because Charlie is apparently a human lie detector that knows whenever the guest star lies in her presence. (This is rather unsubtly demonstrated most of the time by Charlie reflexively coughing a naughty word describing male cow poops that we're no longer allowed to write here.)
In its place, is the recurring twist (if it can be called that) that Charlie was actually present or somehow involved with the situation leading up to the murder. So while Lyonne is absent for the first act of the show, you then see an abbreviated version of those same events showing how Charlie came to be inveigled with the events (and has an emotional stake in solving the crime). In a way, you'll start wondering how exactly we'll see Charlie pop up and which scenes that we just saw was she lurking in the periphery of. It's an elegant way of tying the character and the murder together without making her a shabby police officer in a beige raincoat.
But you don't need to be a Columbo fan to enjoy Poker Face, and the ultimate litmus test was making my aggressively-Columbo-indifferent wife watch the screeners with me. She said that the show was fun, and it gives you the "joy of seeing how Charlie was there all along." And that, much like another of her favorite detective shows, Jonathan Creek, you can play along at home, looking for the clues that will eventually point Charlie to solving the case. (The show does play fair, too, and gives you the chance to spot a clue that our hero won't clock for another few minutes.)
Image of Natasha Lyonne looking up and to the right, off camera, in an overexposed image so bright that she's the only thing visible. She is wearing aviator sunglasses and is holding her jacket over her right shoulder.
The benefit of the episodic nature of the series is that you can dip in and out of it as you feel like it. I watched the six (of ten) episodes Peacock made available for review in dribs and drabs, watching one, then taking a day off, then the next, in a way that felt similar to how it's intended to be seen. The only issue for would-be dippers is that you may not quite understand why, at the end of half the episodes, a character I won't name pops up to glower at Lyonne. This is something the show has borrowed from older shows, where our hero was always on the move in order to stay out of the clutches of the overarching villain and keep the story going. But you'd be a fool not to at least watch the pilot episode, which was written and directed by Johnson. (The second episode, where he just directs, sags a little as it opts to restate its premise for anyone who decided to watch TV like a psychopath and not just start at the beginning.)
Tonally, Poker Face is breezy, despite its rough-around-the-edges world, and there's often one killer joke in every episode. As much as some episodes might draw from a darker palette, none are even close to being described as "heavy." It's not afraid to be a little silly, either, but I'd spoil the fun in explaining how or why it is, so you'll have to discover that bit for yourself. In fact, most of the fun of the show is just in the watching, so I can't imagine anyone will be racing to write 2,000-word essay-length breakdowns about how each episode unfolded. Just repeat to yourself: It's just a show, I should really just relax.
Poker Face debuts on Peacock on January 26th, 2023, with the first four episodes streaming at launch. A new episode will debut every following Thursday for the next six weeks.

The Chester County region experienced an exciting art bloom in June, and as July approaches, galleries and workspaces host their closing receptions until the fall. In the wake of one of Kennett Square's largest art walks, the Hopper to Homer exhibition at the Brandywine River Museum, the annual exhibition and one of my favorite art parties at Scarlett Thicket Farm, and the installation of a beautiful new Rob Sigafoos sculpture right along State street, July leads us along some art endeavors that encapsulate the more breezy, bucolic aspects of the season.
Street Road installation Nicholas, Anthony & Dennis Santella "Shared Ground"
sand palette that comes with the territory. However, the traditionally horizontal composition is interrupted abruptly by a backlit dilapidated pier. The structure, having been separated into three different sections due to erosion, seemingly crawls out of the sand and starts marching towards the water like a trio of Dali-esque stilt animals.
The exhibition was juried by John J. Carlano, Independent Commercial Photographer and Adjunct Associate at the University of the Arts.
In honor of what would be Andrew Wyeth's 100th birthday, The Brandywine River Museum is showcasing a selection of his work. Andrew Wyeth: In Retrospect is open now through September 17th and is co-curated by Audrey Lewis (Curator, Brandywine River Museum of Art) and Patricia Junker (Curator of American Art at the Seattle Art Museum). The show presents Wyeth's work in chronological order and presents the evolution of his trademark autumnal palette and hyper realism. After its summer showing in Chester County, the exhibition will be exhibited in the Seattle Art Museum in Washington State in October.
Moving towards the Kennett Borough, Robert Jackson will be hosting his closing reception at The Creamery on Thursday, June 29th from 5 to 7 p.m. Since the end of May, Jackson has been creating a series of trompe l'oeil mini murals throughout the farmhouse room of The Creamery. Some of his work may go undetected, even to the relatively trained eye. All I have to say is not expect any of the outlets in that room to accept your charger.
Jackson adds a new voice to the growing artist rolodex hosted by The Creamery. Previously limited to sculpture artists, Stan Smokler, Jeff Bell, David Beck, John Rush and Lele Galer, Jackson is the first painter featured at The Creamery. Not only does this venue provide a beautiful, rustic local for a variety of artwork, The Creamery hopes to expand to host workshops and classes available to the public similar to the Oxbow Farms wreath making workshop during last years' Holiday Village Market!

Encountering the scene of an accident or violent crime in which someone has been seriously injured or killed can be very difficult emotionally and hazardous to your health.

Q: Javascript anonymous function adding object to it Can you explain what going on or some link to understand below code?
function createApplication() {
  var app = function(req, res, next) {
    app.handle(req, res, next);
  };

  mixin(app, EventEmitter.prototype, false);
  mixin(app, proto, false);

  // expose the prototype that will get set on requests
  app.request = Object.create(req, {
    app: { configurable: true, enumerable: true, writable: true, value: app }
  })

  // expose the prototype that will get set on responses
  app.response = Object.create(res, {
    app: { configurable: true, enumerable: true, writable: true, value: app }
  })

  app.init();
  return app;
}

Here type of app is function but where other object is assigned and then after return how to access these object

A: A little explanation:
app is named function:
var app = function(req, res, next) {
    app.handle(req, res, next);
  };

The mixin you see after are used to extend the properties on the original app object.
 mixin(app, EventEmitter.prototype, false);
 mixin(app, proto, false);

Below, this code define some properties on app.request you can look at docs for more infos.

The Object.defineProperties() method defines new or modifies existing
  properties directly on an object, returning the object.

In JS functions are objects so the can have their own properties (in this case request).
// expose the prototype that will get set on requests
  app.request = Object.create(req, {
    app: { configurable: true, enumerable: true, writable: true, value: app }
  })

  // expose the prototype that will get set on responses
  app.response = Object.create(res, {
    app: { configurable: true, enumerable: true, writable: true, value: app }
  })

The code initialize app object:
app.init();

In 2010, the Transparency and Accountability Initiative, a funder collaborative, commissioned the seminal McGee & Gaventa synthesis report, Review of Impact and Effectiveness of Transparency and Accountability Initiatives, to seek answers to the question "What does the evidence base say about how transparency translates into accountability outcomes?" Since then, the number of global transparency & accountability initiatives as well as the number of studies looking at their effectiveness have grown. By 2016, TAI members were looking towards second-generation approaches to transparency and accountability work. Where was the TAP field in terms of evidence quantity and quality? What could we learn from the current body of evidence to design and implement more effective TAP work? We partnered with MIT's Governance Lab (MIT GOV/LAB) and Twaweza to explore recent evidence related to efforts to strengthen transparency, government accountability, and citizen participation (TAP).
Two years later, it's safe to say that collaborative learning is not always a straightforward undertaking. But our efforts to dive deep into the TAP evidence have yielded valuable learning experiences and a useful Learning from Evidence series of products. This blog is the first of a series of these products that we hope will also be useful for others working in the TAP space or pursuing learning efforts in a collaborative model.
The Learning from Evidence initiative started as a request from TAI members to draw policy- and practice-relevant insights from existing TAP evidence that would speak to their programs and the practitioners they support.
At the same time, TAI members were taking stock of lessons learned from the collaborative's work to date and shaping the next phase of work for TAI. The collaborative's membership base evolved, our current strategic priorities were just emerging, and we transitioned from a TAP field-building model to one focused on strengthening funder member grant making practices to support the TAP field. In this context, the Learning from Evidence initiative also served an internal learning need to connect the growing evidence base to these new shared strategic TAP priorities.
With six TAI funder members, how might we possibly harmonize interests across members' diverse strategies and approaches without watering down the relevance of the results?
During the inception phase, TAI lead research partners Lily Tsai and Varja Lipovsek (later supported by other MIT GOV/LAB researchers) interviewed TAI members to understand what questions motivated them, which parts of their theories of change were they most vested in (or most skeptical of), and how they saw as the role and use of evidence in their work.
The process of inquiry ultimately yielded TAI's Pathways to Change Map. The Map is not intended to be a comprehensive picture of the TAP field overall, but it does represent TAI members' shared hypotheses and assumptions around TAP change, using a common language. And while no single member can address all of these pathways, collectively their grant making practices can cover much more ground across our shared thematic outcomes.
In retrospect, this was one of the early learning moments for TAI's current strategy – and certainly one we returned to during this initiative: asking good questions around transparency and accountability evidence is itself a key learning practice.
The learning questions on the Map underscore the importance of using evidence in context – that is, framing questions specific to the accountability actor(s) and accountability outcome(s) of interest such that evidence can be meaningfully applied. It is far less useful – and often not possible – to find evidence to address questions that are very broad or that cover too many of these pathways.
Taxation: What are the effects of taxation on government accountability?
International norms and standards: What are the effects of transparency and accountability international norms and standards on the accountability behaviors of citizens and "accountability actors"?
Information and accountability: How does access to information affect government accountability?
Through this initiative, TAI's research partners generated a range of different products – including Evidence Briefs, which are memo-style summaries of evidence; Evidence Syntheses, which offer more detailed review and analyses of evidence; and Learning Tools, which include memo-style guidance on how to navigate evidence and an interactive online tool to explore evidence in context. We look forward to sharing the Learning from Evidence series of products with the TAP field through TAI's and our research partners' virtual platforms.
The Learning from Evidence series documents a learning process undertaken by the Transparency and Accountability Initiative to engage with and utilize the evolving evidence base in support of our members' transparency and accountable governance goals. We are pleased to have partnered with MIT's Governance Lab and Twaweza on this initiative. This series comprises a variety of practice- and policy-relevant learning products for funders and practitioners alike, from evidence briefs, to more detailed evidence syntheses, to tools to support the navigation of evidence in context.

Q: Create new column with multiple rows I have a dataframe as follows:
dat <- read.table(text=
"ID | Year | Month | Variable | Value1 | Value2 | Value3
  1 | 1950 |   1   |   PRCP   |  0     |   1    |   0
  1 | 1950 |   1   |   TMAX   |  52    |   51   |   52
  1 | 1950 |   1   |   TMIN   |  41    |   41   |   39
  1 | 1950 |   2   |   PRCP   |  1     |   0    |   1
  1 | 1950 |   2   |   TMAX   |  55    |   57   |   58",
  header=TRUE, sep="|")

There are 50 Station IDs, the years span 1950-2005, months 1-12, there are 3 weather variables (PRCP, TMAX, and TMIN), and then columns Value1-Value31 for each day of the month with the weather variable measurement.
I would like to create a dataframe that looks like this:
ID | Date       | PRCP
1  | 1950-01-01 |  0
1  | 1950-01-02 |  1
1  | 1950-01-03 |  0

So far I've been able create 3 separate datasets for each weather variable, but I have no idea how to create the new columns and expand the rows accordingly (there will need to be 31 new rows for each day of the month). I'm fairly new to R and would appreciate any help - Thanks!

A: We can use melt/dcast from the data.table. We convert the 'data.frame' to 'data.table' (setDT(dat)), reshape from 'wide' to 'long' format with melt, create a sequence column ('ind') grouped by 'ID', 'Year', 'Month', and 'Variable'.  Create the 'Date' column by pasting 'Year', 'Month', and 'ind', and then reshape to 'wide' format using dcast.  Instead of creating three separate datasets, we can have all the information in a single dataset.
library(data.table)#v1.9.6+
dM <- melt(setDT(dat), measure=patterns('^Value'))
dM1 <- dM[, ind:= 1:.N, by = .(ID, Year, Month, Variable)]
dM1[, Date:=as.Date(sprintf('%04d-%02d-%02d', Year, Month, ind))]
dcast(dM1, ID+Date~Variable, value.var='value1')
#   ID       Date PRCP TMAX TMIN
#1:  1 1950-01-01    0   52   41
#2:  1 1950-01-02    1   51   41
#3:  1 1950-01-03    0   52   39
#4:  1 1950-02-01    1   55   NA
#5:  1 1950-02-02    0   57   NA
#6:  1 1950-02-03    1   58   NA

NOTE: In the example data, the OP provided only 3 Value columns.  I am guessing that in the original dataset, it would be 31 columns.
data
dat <-  structure(list(ID = c(1, 1, 1, 1, 1), Year = c(1950, 1950, 1950,
1950, 1950), Month = c(1, 1, 1, 2, 2), Variable = c("PRCP", "TMAX",
"TMIN", "PRCP", "TMAX"), Value1 = c(0, 52, 41, 1, 55), Value2 = c(1,
51, 41, 0, 57), Value3 = c(0, 52, 39, 1, 58)), .Names = c("ID",
"Year", "Month", "Variable", "Value1", "Value2", "Value3"),
row.names = c(NA, -5L), class = "data.frame")


Wagons have managed to capture the growling sounds of the American South, despite not living in the United States. Hailing from Melbourne, the group is the brainchild of singer- songwriter and fearless showman Henry Wagons. The band combines rowdy country-rock with a dramatic Nick Cave-inspired delivery, creating their own unique take on country music with a talent for taking the audience on a roller coaster ride from hard hitting rock to tender tributes. Unanimously lauded as one of Australia's great live bands, they relentlessly provide a high energy, stage stomping show no matter which venue they take over.
Wagons sixth album, Acid Rain and Sugar Cane is both an introduction and an invitation to an unforgettable musical journey. Co-produced by Mick Harvey (Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, PJ Harvey), Acid Rain and Sugar Cane is a multi-layered masterpiece filled with drinking songs and driving songs (though never the two shall meet).
The past few years have seen Wagons share stages around the world with Lucinda Williams, Justin Townes Earle, Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zero's, Calexico, Bill Callahan, Will Oldham, Okkervil River, John Hiatt plus more along with SXSW, Canadian Music Week and Americana showcases, plus festival appearances at Big Day Out, Bumbershoot (USA), Laneway Festival, Bluesfest, Boogie, Pyramid Rock, Falls Festival and loads more.
But don't snooze on this show - it will be one of their last performances for a while as Wagons as Henry will be embarking on some solo projects soon after.
Tom Cunliffe and band will be special guests for the Wagons show. Having just recorded his debut album in Lyttelton, Tom describes himself as a story-singer of ragged songs. Used to dragging his guitar through NZ's back alleys and dive bars, Cunliffe is looking forward to stepping things up with the release of his debut album later this year.

MADONNA "Like A Virgin" /LP/
MACHINE HEAD "Unto The Locust" /Etching 2LP/
LINKIN PARK "One More Light" /LP/
ABIGAIL WILLIAMS "In The Absence Of Light" /Slipcase CD/
Second full-length album by American Black Metal band.
The album moves away from the Symphonic Black Metal sound and keyboard usage featured on "In the Shadow Of A Thousand Suns" to a more Pure Black Metal sound.
After all, the New York-based band has suffered enough prejudice from genre extremists due to a momentary dalliance in Metalcore early on in its career, not to mention the relatively commercial style of synth-wrought Orchestral Black Metal heard on the band's first album. Many observers believed this style owed way too much to England's widely reviled (and contradictorily wildly successful) Cradle of Filth, whose perceived opportunism made them black metal's ultimate sellout poster boys, but it's simply not fair to condemn Abigail Williams to the very same death sentence so soon, especially in light of the band's much improved second album, 2010's "In The Absence Of Light", which reveals a perfectly competent and oftentimes quite engaging collision of vicious aggression and ambitious songwriting grandeur.
Yes, it's true that Abigail Williams are still deriving most of their ideas from other established Black Metal names, but at least they're now reaching for the higher standards established by the likes of Dimmu Borgir and Bal-Sagoth, instead of Dani Filth's merry crew. Heck, Abigail Williams even achieve convincing shades of Emperor on the hauntingly epic highlight "The Mysteries that Bind the Flesh." Certainly, there is still nothing groundbreaking to be found on "In The Absence Of Light", but when you consider that 99 percent of the musical universe is guilty of committing the same sin, Abigail Williams' premature burning at the stake by Black Metal's self-proclaimed purists is hereby conclusively ruled as rank and unfair discrimination!

The purpose of this class is to sort elements while allowing

 * true). The {@code SortedSet} interface does not allow this, so
 * a specific class is needed. Null elements are not allowed.

 *
 *
Since the {@code equals} method is not sufficient to
 * differentiate elements, the {@link #delete delete} method is
 * implemented using the equality operator.

 *
 *
In order to clearly mark the methods provided here do not have
 * the same semantics as the ones specified in the
 * {@code SortedSet} interface, different names are used
 * ({@code add} has been replaced by {@link #insert insert} and
 * {@code remove} has been replaced by {@link #delete
 * delete}).

 * in the public domain. Unfortunately, his page seems not

Load testing and performance testing are not the same exams. Many people lump them together, believing that they run the same tests. This is not the truth. Although both tests are equally important, you will see how beneficial it can be to run load tests during your products early development. It is quite common for applications to fail, slow-down, and even crash at the first signs of heavy use. This does not make users happy, and will have you losing consumers as well as money on a product that can not perform under pressure.
With a load test, you will have the ability to find problems, and sort out kinks very early in the development. By waiting too long to run these tests, you can end up spending a huge amount of money, rewriting codes, and fixing its structure. It will be critical that you run these test repeatedly so that you can identify problems while changes are still taking place. Prioritize your load test runs during development to reduce high cost fixes. An ideal load test platform will allow you to run tough comprehensive exams so that you can test its efficiency and functionality over and over again.
Finding the perfect web load testing tools will be key. You want a platform that will allow you to trigger faults while simulating heavy users. This web load test is critical so that you can find the vulnerability of your product when being downloaded by many. You should also be able to run exams that will let you know issues like resource exhaustion, endurance, reliability, and transaction failures. This load platform should allow you to run the test as often as you want without having to rewrite the test each time you decide to use it.
There is nothing more important than knowing how your product is going to perform when uploaded. The only way for you to have success is to have an application that functions at the highest level possible at all times. You need to know how fast it will respond, and how it will handle being downloaded simultaneously by many users. It is critical that your load platform will allow you to run tests throughout development, so that you don't have to waste critical time and money, fixing it in the end. An unstable system can be avoided by performing the most comprehensive tests possible.
Be competitive in the mobile and web application product market by building something that users can easily download and enjoy without any compromising.

"There's never a dull moment when you deal in liquor. And you get to meet the choicest of people..." The production...
About The Play
1 pub. 14 different characters. 2 actors.
TWO is hilarious, yet heart-breaking, and presents a slice of working-class life in a Northern local pub in the 1980s. With a constantly quarrelling landlord and landlady, and the dozen regulars pulling up a stool, all life is present in this pub.
It is the heart of communities. It is where people laugh, share stories, celebrate and mourn. It is a place of failed aspirations and unfulfilled lives.
Through this range of colourful characters, the rich tapestry of their interconnecting lives is revealed. With the fragile relationship of our less than cordial hosts at breaking point, a rollercoaster of emotions unfolds.
Behind-the-Scenes Playlist
Watch our behind-the-scenes video playlist to see how key elements of the production were made, including the ambitious set design which featured a working on-stage bar and experience seats.
TWO was first performed in 1989. Test your knowledge of the year with these pub quiz questions from the show's programme. Perfect if you need some inspiration for your next Zoom quiz!

If you sat in a seat on-stage, we would also love to hear what you thought of the experience.


This is the novella that goes along with the Incarnate trilogy. I have to say that I didn't really expect much from it. I really enjoyed the trilogy but I wasn't sure how this was going to fit in. Now I have to say that I LOVED it.
This was such a good addition to the trilogy. It really put the entire world in a new context. This novella takes place before the trilogy begins and we get to see some of the characters before we knew them.
This explained a lot. I found what it covered to be really interesting. It was a part of the story that I really had wanted to know more about.
If you have read the trilogy and are wondering whether or not to pick this up I would urge you to do it. It really adds to this world.

A secret fraternal order exists for the sole purpose of indulging in the greatest pleasures of life... Chi Khan, Anwar Mamluk, and Ali Rahman have traded in their humdrum past lives to join the Order of Legions of Solomon's Temple. Formed in the 12th century, men who become members of this fraternal order have the best of everything at their disposal including money, power and women galore. The pretentiousness and braggadocio of these alpha males is over the top but it is justified because they are a superior group of men. With such a lavish life guaranteed by membership to this secret society, why would one of its top members risk his power and prestige all because of his obsession with the famous singer, Teresa McMillan? This relationship - which is forbidden in the first place - could unveil their secret existence and potentially leave them open to all out war with all of the military establishments of the world. A fraternal order, hundreds of years in the making, is in jeopardy of crumbling at the foundation because of one member's failure to maintain protocol in order to protect the egocentric desires of the entire brotherhood.

JNU attack 'state-sponsored', VC must be dismissed: Cong fact-finding committee
The Congress had appointed a four-member fact-finding committee to carry out a detailed inquiry into the violence at the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU).
A fact-finding committee of the Congress on the JNU violence on Sunday said the January 5 attack inside the university campus was "state-sponsored" and recommended Vice Chancellor M Jagadesh Kumar be dismissed and criminal investigation initiated against him.
Sushmita Dev, member of the committee, said it recommended that Kumar be dismissed immediately and all appointments in faculty should be probed and an independent inquiry should take place.
"A criminal investigation must be initiated against the VC, the company that provides security service and members of the faculty who conspired with the attackers to unleash the violence at Sabarmati hostel, Periyar hostel and other places. The security company's contract must be immediately terminated," the Mahila Congress chief said.
"It is clear that the attack on JNU campus was state-sponsored," Dev said.
She also demanded a complete rollback of the JNU fee hike.
The other members of the fact-finding committee are Hibi Eden, MP and former NSUI president, Syed Naseer Hussain, MP and former president of JNU NSUI and Amrita Dhawan, a former NSUI president and ex-DUSU president.
On January 5 night, masked people armed with rods and sticks stormed the JNU campus and assaulted students and faculty members, and vandalised property, leaving several people injured.
Leftist outfits and the RSS-affiliated Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) blamed each other for the violence.
