[Erowid Note: 15 standard shots of alcohol is roughly equivalent to 750 ml or 1 fifth (of a gallon) and is considered an extremely high dose. Similar doses can lead to coma or death in some individuals.]
Under the No Child Left Behind signed into law by President Bush, each state was required to measure students' abilities in some form. As a response to this, Ohio created the Ohio Graduation Test, or OGT as it is known. This test is given to sophomores in high school over the course of one week, and where I live, they start the test at 7:30AM and take it until 10:00AM. Because of this, all other students don't have to be in school until 10:05AM, and so my friends and I, who by now were no strangers to the fun of drinking and smoking, thought this new found time would be a great for a party.
We had an open house, and more than enough people were willing to drink, smoke, or do whatever before the shortened school day. We started the mornings at 7:45 with some eggs and followed it up by getting pretty smashed taking shots, playing beer pong, and getting stoned. We even had an event name: OGT Week Beerpongapalooza. I was pretty concerned about getting caught drunk at school, so on Monday and Tuesday, I didn't really party that much. But, by Wedensday, my nerves had calmed and I let go.
I started the morning by taking two 20mg Adderall Extended Release pills. Pretty soon the party was underway and about 20-30 people were at my friends house. I was so excited that I started taking shots, and only stopped to smoke two or three bowls on my friends back porch. When the bottle of Jose Cuervo was empty (there was about 15 shots in it when I started) I realized that I was really messed up, but I still asked everyone if they wanted to drink more. Luckily, my friends were sober enough to realize that the last thing I needed was more alcohol.
The last thing I remember was throwing up in my friends car as he was driving us to school. According to him, he took me home after that and I got out in my driveway and passed out immediately. He opened my garage and took me inside and left for school. I woke up at 1:00PM in my bed. I must have set an alarm because my clock was buzzing like crazy. As I sat up, I saw that I was completely naked and completely covered in puke. Right then, one of the worst hangovers I've ever had hit me. I layed back down, and glanced at the carpet in my room. There were various piles of puke skattered through out my room.
About 15 min. later, I felt alright enough to get out of my bed and walk around. I headed toward the bathroom to take a shower, and saw that my bathtub was filled with about a quarter inch of puke. I spent the next hour cleaning and throwing up from the smell of the cleaning chemicles. I couldn't get all the stains out, but I figured I had it to a point where I could tell my parents that I came home and found that the dogs had thrown up.
At 2:30PM, my friend who had dropped me off earlier in the day called to make sure that I was alive. He told me that a bunch of our friends were headed to Subway, so I agreed to meet them there. I get dressed and walk into my garage only to find a green car that did not belong to me and a maroon car that also did not belong to me parked there. My car was gone. Panicked, I called the owner of the green car, and he told me that he and the owner of the maroon car decided to take mine. He even said that I gave them permission, and that they would return my car soon.
In the end, my parents believed me that the dogs had thrown up when I was at school, but I still had to explain to my principal why I didn't make it to any of my classes. I told her that I felt sick, but my mom didn't believe me so she didn't call to say I had permission to stay home, even though I did. I was assigned one day of in-school suspension (basically, you sit in a small room for the entire school day). I went to the parties on Thursday and Friday, but I held off on the drinking. On Friday, my friend who drove me to my house on Wednesday was almost caught and threw up in the bathroom at the school. But overall, OGT Week Beerpongapalooza was a success.
So much of a success, that we decided to continue our morning parties during the regular school week for the rest of the year. At my school we have a regular schedule on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday. On Wedensday and Thursday, we have block scheduling, and on the first day of block, all the students don't have to come in until 9:00AM. My town was even famous a few years back for the 'Dankfest Day' scandal, where a major newspaper uncovered kids smoking pot before school at a public park on block day.
Anyhow, to make a long story short, someone who had came to our parties got caught at school. And expelled. Not only that, he ratted us out in the process. The week after his expulsion, the police department staked us out. Three kids were pulled over on the way to school, resulting in one charge of OMVAUC, or Operating a Motor Vehicle After Underage Consumption, which in Ohio, is when a minor gets a DUI. Some kids who didn't get pulled over made it to school and were promptly interrogated by the administration, resulting in one 10-day suspension.
 But I would also say that it was a great once-in-a-lifetime experience, and that I wouldn't have changed a thing.

Hugh Hancock has been called "the father of Machinima". As one of the pioneers of real-time 3D animated filmmaking - known as Machinima - he has worked on pioneering new ways to make movies with unexpected technology for more than 15 years.
He founded Machinima.com, now the fourth-biggest YouTube channel in the world, directed the online-distributed feature film BloodSpell, and has been quoted on the future of filmmaking in the New York Times, the Guardian, on the BBC and on NPR. He has travelled the world talking about Machinima filmmaking, from the Game Developers' Conference in San Jose to the Annecy Animation Festival to the Digital Media Fest in Singapore.
He also fronted possibly the geekiest cookery show in the history of the medium, Kamikaze Cookery.
Currently he is completing work on Death Knight Love Story and developing new production techniques for his next film, which will use cutting-edge non-game CGI.
On the rare occasions he's not making films, Hugh is a coffee obsessive, enthusiastic cook, and martial artist.


Head Mode & Body Mode
-
Can you I Still Function a character with a Body mode?  Effects like I Still Function! and Involuntary Promotion will not work at all to bring back a Body. You can, however, bring back a Head from KO because it will be in Bot mode (and only in Bot mode).
-
For cards like Heavy Handed that count stars, do you use the sum of the head and body star costs for the card's effect? [Source: Aequitas]Yes.


FILM TITLE: THE FLIGHT OF THE INNOCENT ( La Corsa dell'innocente ) DIRECTOR: CARLO CARLEI COUNTRY: ITALY 1992 CINEMATOGRAPHY: RAFFAELE MERTES MUSIC: CARLO SILIOTTO CAST: Manuel Colao, Federico Pacifici, Sal Borgese, Lucio, Zagaria, Giusi Cataldo, Massimo Lodolo, Anith Zagaria, Isabelle Mantero, Nicola di Pinto, Jacques Perrin SUPER FEATURES: Few grest stories will keep you on such an edge.!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 And then there are films that are made to make a point. And once in a while you get a film that is much more than a film. It is not only a meaningful exercise in the use of the cotton celluloid, but one of those moments when the human spirit and strength stands out, in such a way, that is truly magnificent. And rewarding. And despite all the drawbacks, all the bad times, there is something to be said for those who have the will, and the inner strength to survive. The child is this poignant, and sad, story, is just such a one.
Amidst the Italian wave of kidnappings of children ( the innocent ) for extortion of the richer parents, some make it, some don't. The majority does not. And the extortions continue.
The film starts out with what appears to be a vengeance murder of some sort. The retaliation ends up getting the whole family killed, with the exception of the young boy, who manages to outwit the killers. And he hides in the countryside, and ends up in various spots. some of which have been places where other children previously abducted have met their ill fated death. This child happens to find a backpack of one of the dead children and takes off with it. And he sets about getting to the whereabouts of this dead child's family.
The story takes him to Rome, where he ends up in the house of a cousin, who is also involved in the mess, and gets himself killed as well. The kid, disappears again, but this time he came up, by accident with the loot from another extortion. The kid makes his way to where he wanted to go. And all is well, and seems to be working alright. He stops by a harmless kid soccer game in the street, and eventually sneaks his way into the well to do family's house, and the dead child's room. Eventually the mother discovers him, and in her emotional state, she thinks that this is the right child. The father realizes it's not. And there is another phone call saying that the father should bring the money with him to exchange for the child. The kid sneaks in the car and goes with the father. The rest of the story I will leave with you all, because it is a magnificent story of the strength of the human spirit, and its ability to do the right thing.
There are many outstanding moments in this film. It treats the visionary aspect of the character's mind with respect. And it helps use that ability to keep the young man alive. As if saying that those who use those abilities will make it. Those who do not are bound to be hurt. During a train ride, the kid gets his face caressed ever so gently by a young child, the appearance of which recalls immediately a guardian angel. The smile of this little girl pretty much says it all. This kid is blessed, and will make it, somehow.
Despite the gruesomeness of the film, it is violently brutal, and intentionally so, the child has grown to become a much stronger entity. Be it based on a slight amount of fear or not, the resiliency with which this kid works and thinks is quite above average. A product of a system that is threatening kids like him, he manages to transcend it, and take it to another level.
Few films will do something so powerful, and yet so magnanimously great. It isn't a film that was made to be a super hit, or to tell people that something is really screwed up.... mainly GREED. But it does so, by just being who it is, rather than preach, and that is a small treasure in its own right.
In the middle of it, there are many humanitarian moments, and odd ones. The church getting caught in the middle is an example of the helplessness that many adults feel. The priest does what he can. The rest is providence, and not much that he can do about it. But there are those who really defy the odds, even if innocently so.
The victory is one to remember, and one of those films that just forces many of us reviewers to run for their keyboards.
Absolutely outstanding film, despite its sad content. Extremely violent, but concise, and clear, in how it deals with it's violence. Those that are in it for the brutality of it, get it the harshest. The rest seem to fall innocently.
If you can stand it, and appreciate the victory of the power of beauty and right, this film is for you. If it is simple entertainment you crave, go for a swim somewhere else. This is a film for the strong.

VIRUS RATING: 6 / 10 --> Barely recommendable
For more reviews and movie trivia, visit http://www.joblo.com/
This film was supposed to be released in the summer of 1998. It was pushed back. Then, it was supposed to be released in the fall of 1998. It was pushed back again. Now, in January 1999, the film based on an original series from Dark Horse Comics called "Virus", is finally being released to the public.
PLOT: A Russian carrier gets hits by an electronic life form, unknown to mankind, which begins to study and meche elements of the humans onboard with all of the robotics engineered on the ship. When a stray boat accidentally bumps into the grand carrier, and the crew hop aboard the empty vessel for a looksie, they find loads of dead bodies, and computer-infested robots buzzing around in every shape and size. These new life forms see the human race as a virus, and would like to extinguish it from the universe.
CRITIQUE: This is not a great movie. It's not even a good movie. It's a standard, by the numbers, science-fiction derivative of the healthy ALIENS and TERMINATOR series, which offers a few simple shocks, some engineered tension, another politically correct cast, and special effects that don't add up to much more than a lot of machines mangled together in metals and lights. None of the robots in this film impressed me much because I figure that if you've seen one robot with lights, gadgets, buzzes and hoses flapping all around, you've pretty much seen 'em all! And despite this film brandishing quite a few of these android-puppies, some of which were hybrids of humans, I can't say that they did much to impress, scare or excite me. Having said that, it is to note that the plot was also as thin as Jack Nicholson's hair, and the actors campy in some scenes, movie-stupid in others.
The good thing about this lame duck film was that it knew not to overplay its obviously mediocre presentation, and did us all a favour by slapping the whole affair within a time package of a buck and a half. I was never really bored in this picture, and did enjoy Donald Sutherland's salty ol' dog of a sea captain, but will admit to longing for the legendary shots of Jamie Lee Curtis in all her form (For interested parties, please note that there are no T or A shots of the lovely Ms. Curtis in this picture). The rest of the supporting cast was negligible, and the shots of the vessel being attacked by a typhoon looked more like a model boat in a bathtub, but I suppose the film can be considered brainless fodder for those interested in this type of thing. So remember, it's quick, it's redundant, it offers some action and mediocre effects, no boobie shots, and some campy acting by Sutherland. If you enjoyed either SOLDIER (6/10) or EVENT HORIZON (6/10), you will most probably enjoy this one as well.
Little Known Facts about this film and its stars: Jamie Lee Curtis' big-screen film debut was in John Carpenter's original HALLOWEEN (6/10). Her mom is PSYCHO's Janet Leigh, and her dad, Tony Curtis. She has been married to former-"Saturday Night Live" star Christopher Guest since 1984. In 1983, she dated English rocker Adam Ant for nine months. She became Baroness, Lady Haden-Guest, when her husband inherited the Barony in 1996. Screenwriter Dennis Feldman also wrote the original SPECIES (7/10), while the other writer on this pic, Jonathan Hensleigh had a hand in ARMAGEDDON (7.5/10), THE ROCK (6.5/10) and DIE HARD 3: WITH A VENGEANCE (6/10). He also happens to be conveniently married to the producer of this film, Gale Anne Hurd, who herself had a child with legendary director, Brian DePalma, named Lolita. She was also once married to director James Cameron for a few years, during which, she conveniently produced some of his films including TERMINATOR (8/10)-which she co-wrote with him, ALIENS (8/10) and THE ABYSS (7/10). William Baldwin graduated from SUNY-Binghamton, where he studied political science. He has been married to singer Chynna Phillips since 1995. He has brothers named Alec, Daniel and Stephen, who are all actors in their own right. Donald Sutherland is a hoser at heart. He was born in Saint-John, New Brunswick in Canada, and graduated from the University of Toronto. He also fathered actor Kiefer Sutherland. This is director John Bruno's first solo directorial film. He also co-directed one movie before this one with James Cameron and Stan Winston called T2 3D: BATTLE ACROSS TIME. He is an Academy Award winner (for THE ABYSS) and six-time Oscar-nominee in the field of visual effects. He actually quit his post as visual-effects supervisor on a little picture called TITANIC (7/10) because what he really wanted to do was direct. Actor Marshall Bell, who played Woods in this film, made history as the first person to die in an episode of TV's "Tales From The Crypt". In 1989's pilot episode "And All Through The House...", he got a fireplace poker right through the head. Actress Joanna Pacula, who plays the Russian woman in this movie, is actually Polish in real life.
Review Date: January 15, 1999 Director: John Bruno Writers: Dennis Feldman and Jonathan Hensleigh (based on Chuck Pfarrer comic book "Virus") Producers: Anne Gale Hurd and Mike Richardson Actors: Jamie Lee Curtis as Kelly "Kit" Foster William Baldwin as Steve Baker Donald Sutherland as Captain Everton Genre: Science-Fiction Year of Release: 1999

An ImagesLoader in Flash8
2005 November 7th by todd anderson
find the files here.
Since Flash8 came out, i’ve moved away from the old multi-keyframed movieclip used for sprites in my games. I’ve been playing around with loading images into a movieclip, copying the pixels into a BitmapData instance, then discarding the mc and passing that data onto whoever wants it. After trying a couple different ways on how to manage this process, i was thumbing through Killer Game Programming by Andrew Davison and thought his ImagesLoader class (written in java) was pretty damn cool and decided i wanted a Flash adaptation of it.
Seeing as Flash doesn’t have a BufferedImage, I drummed up a little implementation of buffering images offscreen and here it is.
The prominant class file that the different buffers (Single, Strip, Multi) use is the ImageLoader – which does pretty much what i said in the first sentence.
The different buffers know what to do with the bitmapdata passed from ImageLoader, but perhaps more importantly they have a queue system set up so that you can hit these Singletons with numerous filepaths to images and the loading of one won’t get overwritten by the loading of another.
The ImageLoader and buffers can be used seperately from the ImagesLoader, but the ImagesLoader class is there if you want a sort of buffered image manager. It holds basically an image map from which another class can grab the bitmap data of anything loaded. As well, taking a cue from Andrew Davison’s ImageLoader.java, ImagesLoader can read a text file that lists all the images you want loaded and buffered in your app, choosing buffers dependant on a preceding signifier (single, strip, group, number).
I find it helpful and it probably could use some optimization, but hopefully you can get something out of it… And please don’t forget to call ImagesLoader.dispose() when you’re done with it.
In the zip are the files, a sample FLA, some images and an image.txt file. I realized that some of the images don’t really illustrate the point because they’re simple and you’d probably use the drawing API instead, but you get the idea of how the ImagesLoader works.


Pacific islanders face up to the dire health effects of global warming. Atasa Moceituba and Monique Tsang report.
Kaushik Sindhu Lal learned the hard way. After visiting a friend on the edge of the Fijian capital of Suva for a few days last year the 24-year-old came home shivering and sweating, his head and body aching.
“There were lots of bushes and mosquitoes out there,” Lal says. “We were playing football and wearing shorts. I didn’t think of using insect repellent,” he says.
Lal is one of some 27 000 Fijians to have had dengue fever in 2013–14, in one of the Pacific island’s largest known outbreaks of the viral mosquito-borne infection.
“Fiji and other tropical island states in the Pacific are particularly susceptible to the effects of climate change, especially rising sea levels, because they are made up of many small islands surrounded by fragile coral reef ecosystems,” says Dr Rokho Kim, an environmental health specialist with the World Health Organization (WHO) Regional Office for the Western Pacific based in Fiji.
“The industrialized countries are mainly responsible for the carbon dioxide emissions that cause global warming,” Kim says. “And small developing countries like Fiji and other Pacific island nations are suffering.
“They are some of the most vulnerable places on the planet to the health effects of climate change,” he says.
The inhabitants of many small island states around the world are suffering the effects of climate-sensitive health problems related to extreme weather, such as tropical cyclones, storm surges, flooding and drought, according to the 2014 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s Fifth assessment report.
The incidence of infectious diseases in some of these areas, such as dengue and malaria, is increasing, while health problems linked to the deterioration in the quality and quantity of freshwater are prevalent, the report says.
Climate change can exacerbate already difficult circumstances, as the increased disease burden results in overstretched health-care services and a greater risk of disease and death among vulnerable groups, especially young children, women of reproductive age, older people and people with disabilities.
Dengue occurs most during the wet season in the tropics.
Scientists studying the 2013–14 outbreak believe climate change was one factor but that increasingly mobile populations, urbanization and the appearance of a virus serotype that had not been seen before in Fiji also contributed to its severity.
“The outbreak shows how the health effects of climate change can be dire in less developed countries where public hygiene is inadequate and health systems are weak,” Kim says.
“The initial hotspots of Fiji’s 2013–14 dengue outbreak were in the squatter settlements and poor neighbourhoods in and around Suva,” Kim adds.
It is one of several large outbreaks in the Pacific that WHO and its partners investigated in recent years.
They found that large outbreaks often follow extreme weather events, for example, a drought-induced outbreak of diarrhoeal diseases in Tuvalu in 2011, a post-flood leptospirosis outbreak in Fiji in 2012; and floods in 2014 that triggered an epidemic of diarrhoeal disease in the Solomon Islands.
“We have plenty of evidence to show what is happening. Anyone who is still unsure should come to the Pacific and see for themselves,” says Kim.
World leaders gather later this month in Paris, France at the United Nations Climate Change Summit from 30 November to 11 December to hammer out an agreement to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and to consider proposals to support developing countries adapt to the effects of climate change.
“We hope that the world leaders will pay attention to what is happening here and take immediate action.”
“We hope that the world leaders will pay attention to what is happening here and take immediate action. That will be good news not only for Fijians and other Pacific islanders, but also for coming generations all over the world,” Kim says.
Dengue is one of several infectious tropical diseases, including typhoid fever, leptospirosis, zika and chikungunya, which are endemic to the Pacific islands and on the increase, adding to the already heavy toll of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs).
The prevalence of hypertension, diabetes, obesity and other NCDs is so high that health ministers from 19 Pacific countries and areas declared in 2011 that the “Blue Continent” was facing an “NCD crisis”.
By the time the dengue outbreak struck in late 2013, “Fiji’s health system was already overwhelmed by the burden of other diseases,” Kim says.
Stepping up the response to disease outbreaks has been a major part of efforts to protect the health of the 900 000 strong population of Fiji, an archipelago of more than 300 islands.
“One of WHO’s priorities in the Pacific islands is to help build and reinforce their health systems,” Kim says. “We are working with 13 countries to implement national climate change and health action plans that we helped to develop.”
The action plans are part of a global WHO strategy to help countries make their health systems more resilient to the effects of climate change.
For Dr Meciusela Tuicakau from Fiji’s Ministry of Health and Medical Services, the dengue outbreak of 2013–14 exposed weaknesses in the country’s ability to detect outbreaks early enough to warn communities and take measures.
“Under our paper-based system for reporting cases, patients’ addresses were not recorded and that delayed timely measures to protect the population,” Tuicakau says.
“We couldn’t intervene when we should have because of the limited information received,” he says.
Fiji’s health ministry has since revised the paper form to include a field for the patient’s address and phone number, and now it is developing a web-based reporting system for the rapid sharing of information about disease outbreaks to improve its response in future – a system that will be piloted soon.
“The new system will enable the use of tablets and mobile phones for the input, storage and sharing of case information,” Tuicakau says.
“It will be used by doctors and nurses when they assess patients that arrive at hospitals, laboratory workers who analyse blood and tissue samples and environmental health officers who visit communities to take preventive action and monitor the situation,” he says.
A key challenge for reducing the transmission of infectious diseases is changing people’s behaviour to improve hygiene and reduce their contact with mosquitoes.
Dengue is not transmitted directly from person to person but by the bite of a mosquito infected with the virus.
It is prevented by reducing mosquito habitats, such as the removal of standing water, and avoiding mosquito bites with nets, suitable clothing and insect repellent or by avoiding the outdoors at dusk and dawn, when mosquitoes are most active.
“In Fiji, for example, coconut shells and abandoned car tyres are well known breeding grounds for mosquitoes – so these need to be disposed of properly,” says Tuicakau.
“Some people sleep outside when it’s hot and humid, without using mosquito nets or insect repellent, exposing themselves to the risk of dengue and other mosquito-borne diseases,” he says.
Helping to change these kinds of behaviour is just what Alita Goneva and the other Climate Champions of the Fiji Red Cross Society set out to do.
Since September 2012, the Fiji Red Cross Society has been collaborating with the health ministry by training volunteers to educate people in their communities about health protection.
For instance, they learn about the importance of regular hand washing, boiling drinking water and the hygienic handling of food to prevent diarrhoeal and other diseases.
“We assist them by conducting clean-up campaigns in their communities, such as destroying mosquitoes’ breeding grounds and rubbish separation.
“We also explain the need to use protective wear when out on the farm, for example, to prevent leptospirosis,” says Goneva, referring to a climate-sensitive disease caused by bacteria carried by rodents, dogs, cattle and other mammals.
Goneva and other Fiji Red Cross Society trainers then accompany the volunteers when they go back to their neighbourhoods to engage fellow community members in these practices.
“People need to be made aware of climate change as it often exacerbates a disease problem that already exists in the community, like dengue.”
“People need to be made aware of climate change as it often exacerbates a disease problem that already exists in the community, like dengue,” says Kelera Oli, the climate change and health officer at Fiji’s health ministry.

What is it?
Immunity is defined as the capacity of the body to resist from pathogenic agents like: viruses, bacteria, foreign particle etc. It is the ability to produce resistance against the same.
However, the concern regarding immunity has become more important and relevant after the Corona virus pandemic or COVID-19 hit the world. This outbreak has taught us that people with a strong and healthy immune system are better equipped to handle the attack of Corona virus.
Here are the food that is going to enhance your immune system.
1. Papaya, watermelon, Mango and many other fruits are found have amazing store of Vitamin A, Vitamin C, folate, Potassium and B Vitamins which accelerate the production of Immunity building cells.
2. Citrus Fruits: Oranges, Indian Gooseberry (Amla), Tomato, Pumpkin, Lemon, sweet lime, Tamarind etc. These orbs are filled with Vitamin C, It helps encourage the production of white blood cells known as lymphocytes and phagocytes, which help protect the body against any infection.
3. Green leafy vegetables: Methi, Spinach (palak), Mustard Leaves (Sarso), Amaranth Leaves (Rajgira leaves/ Math) , Colocasia Leaves (Arbi ke patte), Drumstick greens (Saijan patta) young leaves contain more vitamin C than mature leaves. They are richer source of Vitamin A, Calcium, potassium, zinc and Iron these property helps in strengthening the immune cells
4. Curd: They support our digestive system, increase good bacteria, and promote overall health. It is important to add curd in your diet because it is a source of vitamin D, calcium, potassium, and other nutrients that helps in improving the immune system naturally.
5. Legumes & Pulses: Chick pea, green gram, rajma, chana,etc. Apart from being a rich source of protein, they are a great source of potassium, iron, and fiber. Studies have shown various beans, particularly black beans, improve gut health by enhancing intestinal barrier function and enhancing the number of beneficial bacteria. This might help in reducing the occurrence of gut-associated illnesses. Healthy gut bacteria also improve immune system function.
There is no absolute way to avoid any infection completely; strengthening the immune system with particular food ingredients can go a long way to reduce your risk of contamination. Our immune system plays a vital role in warding off viruses and bacteria from affecting our body and causing damage. Consuming these foods on a daily basis will not only keep you healthy but also help you achieve a stronger immune system, thereby keeping you immune and disease-free.

Create your own visualizations or apps using the PixieDust extensibility APIs. If you know HTML and CSS, you can write and deliver amazing graphics without forcing notebook users to type one line of code. Use the shape of the data to control when PixieDust shows your visualization in a menu.
When a notebook user invokes
display()
, PixieDust provides a chrome that include a toolbar of menus. Each menu is a way to visualize or perform action on the data.
PixieDust framework builds that menu based on introspecting the data itself and associating it with components that the developer declares can process that data. PixieDust comes with a set of visualizations and actions out-of-the-box, but you can easily add your own custom plugin.
To get started fast, try our generator, which lets you create a sample visualization by answering a few prompts in Terminal or other command line app.
In Terminal or other command-line shell, navigate to the directory where you want to create the new project. This can be anywhere you choose.
Enter and run:
jupyter pixiedust generate
Respond to the questions/prompts to complete setup. Here's the entire exchange including the command you'll run in Step 4:
Install your new visualization.
If you're not already there, cd into your project directory and run the following command:
pip install
-e
.
Go to your notebook, and restart the kernel.
Run the command
import pixiedust
Run the command
import Sampleviz
(or whatever you named your project)
Then load some data and run the display() command on it.
In the charts dropdown, choose a chart you specified that the renderer can display.
Click the Renderer dropdown.
You see your new visualization menu item! Here's one named Sampleviz :
Explore the code in your new project directory. We've commented in some guidance that should help you understand what you're looking at.
Here's a run-down of what goes into a PixieDust visualization:
First, for a user to invoke a graph or visualization, it must appear on the PixieDust menu.
The first thing you'll want to do is get your tool presented in the menu. Since you're building a tool to display a DataFrame as an HTML table, look at
display/table/__init__.py
:
@PixiedustDisplay(isDefault=True) class TableDisplayMeta(DisplayHandlerMeta): @addId def getMenuInfo(self,entity, dataHandler): if dataFrameMisc.isPySparkDataFrame(entity) or dataFrameMisc.isPandasDataFrame(entity): return [ {"categoryId": "Table", "title": "DataFrame Table", "icon": "fa-table", "id": "dataframe"} ] elif dataFrameMisc.fqName(entity) == "graphframes.graphframe.GraphFrame": return [ {"categoryId": "Table", "title": "Graph Vertices", "icon": "fa-location-arrow", "id":"vertices"}, {"categoryId": "Table", "title": "Graph Edges", "icon": "fa-link", "id":"edges"} ] else: return [] def newDisplayHandler(self,options,entity): return TableDisplay(options,entity)
Here you see that class
TableDisplayMeta
does 2 things. In the method
getMenuInfo
, it decides what menus to load, depending on the type of entity passed. In the method
newDisplayHandler
, it does the actual data processing.
In the
getMenuInfo
method of class
TableDisplayMeta
you check for the type of the entity. Pixiedust currently supports
GraphFrame
and
PySparkDataFrame
(currently only 2-dimensional matrix Pandas DataFrames are supported, so you can consider them to be the same as
PySparkDataFrame
for the purposes of Pixiedust development).
If it's a Pandas or PySpark DataFrame, return an array of menu definition objects. A menu definition object consists of 4 properties:
categoryId
: a unique string that identifies the menu "category" or group
title
: an arbitrary string that describes the menu
icon
: the name of a fontawesome icon, or a URL for an image
id
: a unique string that identifies your tool
PixieDust only has one option for displaying a DataFrame as a table, so you return a single menu object in the array.
The other method you must implement is
newDisplayHandler
, which is called when the menu item is selected. This is where the DataFrame is actually processed. In this case, return a new
TableDisplay
object, which does all the heavy lifting that we'll talk about next.
The
TableDisplay
class is defined indisplay/table/display.py
. You can see the code on GitHub .class TableDisplay(Display): def doRender(self, handlerId): entity=self.entity if dataFrameMisc.fqName(entity) == "graphframes.graphframe.GraphFrame": if handlerId == "edges": entity=entity.edges else: entity=entity.vertices if dataFrameMisc.isPySparkDataFrame(entity) or dataFrameMisc.isPandasDataFrame(entity): self._addHTMLTemplate('dataframeTable.html', entity=PandasDataFrameAdapter(entity)) return self._addHTML(""" Unable to display object """ )
This class must implement one method,
doRender
, which is called with a reference to
self
and a
handlerId
. In the case of DataFrame display, the
handlerId
is unused, so you only need to check for one DataFrame entity type. You can display it using a
Jinja2
HTML template.
This line of code:
self._addHTMLTemplate('dataframeTable.html',
entity=PandasDataFrameAdapter(entity))
is the key to rendering our data.
dataframeTable.html
(by default found in the templates directory in the same directory as the calling file) is a Jinja2 template consisting of CSS styles, HTML and data processing language. You should study this file carefully
here
, but the key lines are:
{% set rows = entity.take(100) %}
: get the first 100 lines of the DataFrame and assign to variable
rows
{% for field in entity.getFields() %}
: loop over the fields and display each as a

{% for row in rows %}
: loop over the rows and display each as a

F5 Identity and Access Management Solutions > Class 5: AD FS Proxy Lab Source | Edit on
Module: Deploy ADFS Load Balancing Services¶
In this module you will deploy simple load balancing of ADFS for internal users. No proxy services are needed for internal users.
Change Client to Point at BIG-IP Load Balancing Virtual Server¶
- Double click the BIG-IP ADFS Load Balancer desktop shortcut
- You should see that the HOSTS file now points ADFS at the load balancing virtual server (which is not yet created)
- Close any open Chrome incognito windows
- Open a new Chrome window if not already open.
- Right click the “ADFS Demo App shortcut” and open a new incognito window
- It should fail because you cannot access ADFS through the BIG-IP until you deploy the configuration.
- If it is still working, you may need to close Chrome and/or retry the HOSTS file shortcut.
Deploy ADFS iApp for ADFS Load Balancing¶
- Open the BIG-IP configuration interface
- Open Local Traffic -> Virtual Servers and notice nothing is deployed
- Open iApps -> Application Services -> Applications
- Click Create
Accept all default values except for those listed below.
- Name: adfs-lb
- Template: f5.microsoft_adfs.v1.2.0rc7
- SSL Encryption
- How should the BIG-IP system handle SSL traffic?
- Encrypted traffic is forwarded without decryption (SSL pass-through)
- How should the BIG-IP system handle SSL traffic?
SSL Pass-Through is chosen because Microsoft requires it for supported load balancing of ADFS. SSL Bridging breaks the connectivity between WAP servers and ADFS servers because client certificate authentication is required. You can use SSL Bridging if you will not point WAP servers at your deployment but following Microsoft’s guidelines and using SSL Pass-Through is recommended.
- High Availability
- What IP address do you want to use for the virtual server?
- <IP_ADDRESS>
- What IP address do you want to use for the virtual server?
10.1.20.x is the internal network in this environment.
- Which FQDN will clients use to access AD FS?
- adfs.vlab.f5demo.com
- Which servers should be included in this pool?
- <IP_ADDRESS>
- Click Add
- <IP_ADDRESS>
- Click Finished
Test the ADFS Load Balancing Functionality¶
- Close any open Chrome incognito windows
- Open a new Chrome window if not already open
- Right click the “ADFS Demo App” shortcut and open in an incognito window
- You should see a set of claims displayed in the claims app at app.vlab.f5demo.com
- Note that ADFS is still identifying the user as inside the corporate network because the user did not go through an MS-ADFSPIP compliant proxy solution.
- What happened:
- You made a request to App
- App redirected you to ADFS for authentication
- The BIG-IP received the request and load balanced it to one of the ADFS servers (this is the only change from last time)
- ADFS authenticated you automatically with Windows Integrated Authentication with your domain joined computer
- ADFS redirected you back to App with a WS-Fed assertion
- App validated the assertion and displayed the claims it received from ADFS
Review the ADFS Load Balancing Configuration¶
- Go to Local Traffic -> Virtual Servers
- Notice there are two deployed, one on port 443 and one on port 49443
- 443 is for ADFS traffic
- Pool members use port 443
- 49443 is for client certificate auth support
- Pool members use port 49443
- 443 is for ADFS traffic


An efficient and incremental approach for calculating the differences in orbit counts when performing single edge modifications in a network. Calculating the differences in orbit counts is much more efficient than recalculating all orbit counts from scratch for each time point.

Our mission is to promote health and fitness among our membership with a focus on adopting healthy lifestyles. In addition, we support camraderie among runners and other local running clubs in the area. Finally, our organization provides support to local charities thru sponsorship of local running events several times a year.
We are runners who live in the greater Marlborough/Hudson area, who meet weekly to run various distances for fun and to keep in shape! We run, sweat and laugh together. Our club has been in existence since April 2002. All of our members are 18 years old and older, some of us are significantly older!
 We run weekly workouts and participate in local road races. In addition, we coordinate and run a number of low key races that support the local community. For example, last Thanksgiving we organized a road race that helped to raise over 1000 food items for the local food pantry.


THE SHADOW OF THE RAVEN A film review by Thomas E. Billings Copyright 1990 Thomas E. Billings
Synopsis: A dispute between two clans in ancient Iceland threatens to turn into a war. Will a marriage stop the fighting, or will the corrupt Bishop prevail? A drama of trust, love, power, and revenge, based on the legend of Tristan and Isolde. Very good, although it is slow-moving at times.
Iceland/Sweden (English subtitles), color, 1988, 118 minutes. Director/Writer: Hrafn Gunnlaugsson
The story is set in Iceland, in the year 1077. Christianity has replaced the old Norse religions, and the Church is, besides the clan, the major power in society. Trausti (Icelandic for Tristan) returns home after studying theology in Norway to find himself caught in the middle of a clan struggle over rights to a beached whale. Trausti's clan found the whale, but it was beached in an area belonging to the other clan.
A battle ensues, and the leader of the opposing clan is killed in the fight. Isolde, the beautiful daughter of the slain clan leader, is taken prisoner in the battle. Inasmuch as Isolde believes that Trausti killed her father, she is determined to get revenge. The fighting is reported to the Church, and the local Bishop gets involved.
The Bishop turns out to be very corrupt and devious. Trausti manages to convince Isolde of his innocence; they plan to marry to stop the fighting. The Bishop opposes this, for he wanted his son to marry Isolde, thereby increasing his power base. The story continues with preparations for the wedding as the Bishop considers various evil schemes.
This film presents a dramatic study in the use and abuse of power (clan dispute, actions of the Bishop), revenge and love (the relationship between Trausti and Isolde) and, most of all, trust. Trausti often trusted people. Sometimes his trust was justified, sometimes not, with resultant tragic consequences.
From a technical viewpoint, the film is only average. It appears to have a modest budget (no lavish sets, small cast), and the acting is average. The photography is good, although the "star" is sometimes the spectacular landscape of Iceland! Further, the film really drags in the middle.
What makes the film very good, instead of just average, is the message it conveys, and the final (exciting, shocking) 30 minutes. As I was watching it, I was ready to write the film off as mediocre, when it suddenly got very dramatic and interesting. Patience has its rewards!

Big O Complexity
Throughout Phase 0, we've explored two main approaches to storing large amounts of data: arrays and hash tables. However as the amoung of data grows, the runtime grows with it, so many other storage approaches exist to mitigate the time complexity. That's were "Big O notation" comes in. For searching an array or linked list, the complexity is O(n), meaning that for a list that has 1000000 elements, the expected search time is 1000 longer than a list with 1000 elements.
Now to greatly reduce that rising runtime cost, you could use something like a binary search tree. It is similar to a linked list in that each playload data element is stored in it's own node, but the nodes could be connected to up to 3 other nodes: it's parent, a left, and a right. How the nodes are populated have searching in mind (hence the name) by using a comparison. Because the growth of the tree spatially gets more complex by powers of 2, the time complexity is O(log(n)), meaning the runtime only grows logarithmically with linear growth.

Lorry driver pleads guilty to assisting illegal immigration in case of 39 deaths in Essex
Maurice Robinson faced 39 counts of manslaughter, conspiracy to traffic people and conspiracy to assist unlawful immigration.
by Press AssociationA LORRY DRIVER has pleaded guilty to plotting to assist illegal immigration in the case of 39 migrants found dead in Essex last month.

The bodies of eight females and 31 males were discovered in the trailer attached to his Scania cab in an industrial park in Grays, Essex early on 23 October.
The victims were later identified as coming from various provinces of Vietnam with the youngest being two boys aged 15.
Robinson, who is known as Mo, faces 39 counts of manslaughter, conspiracy to traffic people and conspiracy to assist unlawful immigration.
He was also charged with acquiring criminal property and one count of concealing criminal property.
The defendant, of Laurel Drive in Craigavon in Northern Ireland, appeared at the Old Bailey via video link from Belmarsh prison for a plea hearing this morning.
Wearing a light blue sweater and tan trousers, he spoke to confirm his identity and British nationality.
During the hearing before Mr Justice Edis, he admitted conspiracy to assist unlawful immigration between 1 May 2018 and 24 October 2019.
The charge states that he plotted with others to do “an act or series of acts which facilitated the commission of a breach of immigration law by various persons”.
He also admitted acquiring criminal property – namely cash – on the same dates.
Robinson was not asked to enter pleas to other charges, including 39 counts of manslaughter.
The details of that charge state that he “arranged or facilitated the travel of other persons into the UK with a view to their being exploited”.
The defendant was remanded into custody until a further hearing on 13 December.
Christopher Kennedy, 23, is due to appear at Chelmsford Magistrates’ Court on Monday accused of human trafficking offences.
He was arrested in the early hours of Friday morning on the M40.
Kennedy, from Darkley, Co Armagh, is charged with conspiracy to arrange or facilitate the travel of people with a view to exploitation and conspiracy to facilitate the commission of a breach of UK immigration law.

Chapter One. Introduction
Professionals in any discipline need to know the foundations of their field. So if you're a database professional, you need to know the relational model, because that model is the foundation (or a huge part of the foundation, anyway) of the database field in particular. Now, every course in database management, be it academic or commercial, does at least pay lip service to the idea of teaching the relational model—but most of that teaching seems to be done very badly, if results are anything to go by. The relational model certainly isn't very well or very widely understood in the database community at large. Here are some possible reasons for this state of affairs:
The model is taught in a vacuum. That is, for beginners at least, it's hard to see the relevance of the material, or it's hard to understand the problems it's meant to solve, or both. The instructors themselves don't fully understand or appreciate the significance of the material. (Most likely in practice.) The model as such isn't taught at all—the SQL language or some specific dialect of that language, such as the Oracle dialect, is taught instead.
So this book is aimed at database professionals, especially commercial database practitioners, who have had some exposure to the relational model but don't know as much about it as they ought to. It's definitely not meant for beginners; however, it isn't a refresher course, either. To be more specific: I'm sure you know something about SQL, but—and I apologize if my tone is somewhat offensive here—if your knowledge of the relational model derives only from your knowledge of SQL, then I'm afraid you won't know the relational model as well as you should, and you'll probably know "some things that ain't so."
NOTE SQL the relational model!
Here by way of illustration are some relational issues that SQL isn't too clear on (to put it mildly):
What databases, relations, and tuples really are The difference between relations and types The difference between relation values and relation variables The relevance of predicates and propositions The legitimacy of relation-valued attributes The crucial role of integrity constraints
and so on (this isn't an exhaustive list). All of these issues, and of course many others, are addressed in this book.
I say again: if your knowledge of the relational model derives only from your knowledge of SQL, then you might know "some things that ain't so." One unfortunate consequence of this state of affairs is that you might find, in reading this book, that there are some things you have to unlearn—and unlearning something is notoriously hard to do. And a related point . . . I'd like to recommend, politely, that you not skip the discussion of some topic because you think you're thoroughly familiar with that topic already. For example, are you sure you know exactly what a key is, in relational terms? Or a join?
