Pandas is a fast and expressive library for data analysis that doesn’t naturally scale to more data than can fit in memory. PySpark is the Python API for Apache Spark that is designed to scale to huge amounts of data but lacks the natural expressiveness of Pandas. This talk introduces Sparkling Pandas, a library that brings together the best features of Pandas and PySpark; Expressiveness, speed, and scalability.
While both Spark 1.3 and Pandas have classes named ‘DataFrame’ the Pandas DataFrame API is broader and not fully covered by the ‘DataFrame’ class in Spark. This talk will explore some of the differences between Spark’s DataFrames and Panda’s DataFrames and then examine some of the work done to implement Panda’s like DataFrames on top of Spark. In some cases, providing Pandas like functionality is computationally expensive in a distributed environment, and we will explore some techniques to minimize this cost.
At the end of this talk you should have a better understanding of both Sparkling Pandas and Spark’s own DataFrames. Whether you end up using Sparkling Pandas or Spark directly, you will have a greater understanding of how to work with structured data in a distributed context using Apache Spark and familiar DataFrame APIs.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Running of the bulls reading
1. Running of the Bulls | San Fermin 2012 | San
Fermin Pamplona Spain 2012
The fiestas of San Fermin are celebrated in Irunea/Pamplona, in the region
of Navarra, every year from the 6th to the 14th of July. They have become
internationally known because of the running of the bulls, where the bulls
are lead through the streets of the old quarter as far as the bull ring by
runners.
The fiestas are celebrated in honor of San Fermin, patron saint of Navarra,
although the religious aspect would seem to have taken on a secondary role over
the last number of years. Nowadays, the fiestas are seen as a mass gathering of
people from all the corners of the world and where the partying, the fun and the joy
of it all are the most outstanding ingredients.
The Encierro ... The Running of the Bulls
The Encierro is the event at the heart of the Sanfermines and makes the fiesta a
spectacle that would be unimaginable in any other place in the world. It was born
from need: getting the bulls from outside the city into the bullring. The encierro
takes place from July 7th to 14th and starts at the corral in Calle Santo Domingo
2. when the clock on the church of San Cernin strikes eight o"clock in the morning.
After the launching of two rockets, the bulls charge behind the runners for 825
metres, the distance between the corral and the bullring. The run usually lasts
between three and four minutes although it has sometimes taken over ten minutes,
especially if one of the bulls has been isolated from his companions.
Chants to San Fermin
The bull run has a particularly emotional prelude. It is when the runners, just a few
metres up the slope from the corral where the bulls are waiting, raise their rolled
newspapers and chant to an image of San Fermin placed in a small recess in the
wall in the Cuesta de Santo Domingo. Against the strongest of silences, the
following words can be heard: "A San Fermin pedimos, por ser nuestro patron, nos
guie en el encierro dandonos su bendicion." (We ask San Fermin, being our patron
saint, to guide us in the bull run and give us his blessing). When they finish they
shout "Viva San Fermin!, Gora San Fermin." This chant is sung three times before
8am first, then when there are five minutes to go before 8am, then three minutes
and one minute before the gate of the corral is opened.
Rockets in the bullring
The third rocket, fired from the bullring, signals that all the bulls have entered the
bullring. A fourth and final rocket indicates that all the bulls are safely in the corral
located inside the bullring, and that the bull run has ended.
A fence of 3,000 parts
For security reasons, a double fence marks out the route of the bull run through the
streets. It is made of over 3,000 wooden parts (planks, posts, gates, etc.). Part of
the fence stays put throughout the fiesta but other sections are assembled and
disassembled every day by a special brigade of workers.
The role of the pastores
A large number of pastores (bull "shepherds") cover the entire bull run. They place
themselves behind the bulls, with their only protection being a long stick. Their
main role is to stop the odd idiot from inciting the bulls from behind, to avoid the
3. bulls turning round and running backwards, and to help any bulls that have stopped
or have been separated from their companions to continue running towards the
bullring.
The dobladores
Other key people in the bull run are the dobladores, people with good bullfighting
knowledge (sometimes ex-bullfighters) who take up position in the bullring with
capes to help the runners "fan out" (in other words, run to the sides after they
enter the bullring) and "drag" the bulls towards the corral as quickly as possible.
The two groups of mansos (bullocks)
The six fighting bulls that will take part in the evening bullfight start the run
accompanied by an initial group of mansos, which act as "guides" to help the bulls
cover the route. Two minutes after leaving the corral in Santo Domingo, a second
group of bullocks (the so-called "sweep-up" group), which are slower and smaller
than the first one, are let out to lead any bulls that might have stopped or been left
behind in the bull run towards the bullring.
Useful information about the bull run
The encierro is an unrepeatable experience for spectators and runners alike. It is a
spectacle that is defined by the level of risk and the physical ability of the runners.
An inexperienced runner should learn about the characteristics of this dangerous
"race" (although it should not be considered as a race) before starting, and also
about the protective measures to be taken for his/her own safety and that of the
people running alongside.
Not everyone can run the encierro. It requires cool nerves, quick reflexes and a
good level of physical fitness. Anyone who does not have these three should not
take part. It is a highly risky enterprise.
Runners should start somewhere between the Plaza del Ayuntamiento (City Hall
Square) and the pink-slab Education building in the Cuesta of Santo Domingo, and
they should be there before 7:30am because entry to the run is closed from that
4. time on. The rest of the run, except for the stretch mentioned above, must be
completely clear of runners until a few minutes before 8am.
What is not allowed in the bull run
People under 18 years of age, who must not run or participate.
Crossing police barriers placed to ensure that the run goes off smoothly.
Standing in areas and places along the route that have been expressly prohibited by the
municipal police force.
Before the bulls are released, waiting in corners, blind spots, doorways or in entrances to
other establishments located along the run.
Leaving doors of shops or entrances to apartments open along the route. The responsibility for
ensuring these doors are closed lies with the owners or tenants of the properties.
Being in the bull run while drunk, under the effects of drugs or in any other improper manner.
Carrying objects that are unsuitable for the run to take place correctly.
Wearing inappropriate clothes or footwear for the run.
Inciting the bulls or attracting their attention in any manner, and for whatever reason, along
the route of the run or in the bullring.
Running backwards towards the bulls or running behind them.
Holding, harassing or maltreating the bulls and stopping them from moving or being led to the
pens in the bullring.
Stopping along the run and staying on the fence, barriers or in doorways in such a way that
the run or the safety of other runners is jeopardised.
Taking photographs inside the run, or from the fences or barriers without due authorisation.
Carrying objects that are unsuitable for the good order and security of the bull run.
Installing elements that invade horizontal, vertical or aerial space along the bull run, unless
expressly authorised by the Mayor"s Office.
Any other action that could hamper the bull run taking place normally.
