'Phantasm'
A retrospective movie review by Walter Frith
For those of you who have seen 'Phantasm' and perhaps its two sequels, you have to ask yourself a question. Is it a bad film? The answer is definitely "yes". But guess what? It's one of the best bad films I've ever seen. Sound like a contradiction? Maybe so but every movie fan has his or her guilty pleasures. Even super critics Siskel and Ebert for whom I have a lot of respect, have admitted to liking certain films that most people despised.
What 'Phantasm' does is it provides an example of how one man can craft a film given the opportunity even though he has very little experience or talent in doing so. It seems like it's an experimental film, the kind you would expect to find at a student film festival or on a video store shelf as one of those forgotten movies that never got a theatre release but went directly to video. 'Phantasm' did get a theatre release and came out in 1979, just a couple of years before the home video rental market took off.
It takes place in California where two brothers become involved in a menacing plot concocted by a funeral home director to abduct the dead from his nearby cemetery and use them in a slave plot in another dimension apart from our world. As bizarre as this sounds, 'Phantasm' plays out like a nightmarish scenario and has some oddly entertaining scenes involving a flying steel sphere which performs brain drain and can move with the speed of the most deadly flying predator. With other assorted ghouls and gadgets of terror, the movie is cheesy but indulgently campy and is a cult classic although the term "classic" is used loosely.
Director Don Coscarelli was in his mid twenties when he made the film and acted as the film's writer, director of photography and editor along with that. He does what any aspiring young movie maker would want given the opportunity. The film looks more like a test product than a full length feature film. It does have a sharp villain called 'The Tall Man' played by Angus Scrimm and 'The Tall Man' was recently inducted into the horror hall of fame for his notoriety with horror fans.
Given its underground success, 'Phantasm' was released a couple of years ago on laser disc with a new stereo surround soundtrack and in widescreen format. It's other two sequels, 'Phantasm II' (1988) and 'Phantasm: Lord of the Dead' but also known as 'Phantasm III' (1994) have a bigger budget and better special effects and talk of a fourth film is in the works for you 'Phantasm' worshippers (I know a few) which may be out in 1999.

A typical pompadour is worn with short sides, with the hair swept upwards and backwards, however as time has passed the look has become more and more versatile and there are a variety of different ways to style a pompadour to make it suit your face shape, lifestyle and career.
The undercut is a hairstyle that was fashionable during the Edwardian era, 1920s, 1930s, 1940s, and 2010s predominantly among men. Typically, the hair on the top of the head is long and parted on either the side or center, while the back and sides are buzzed very short.
The top is faded from front to crown, leaving longer hair in front to be styled into a pompadour, bangs, or even part. After you’re done with sides and back, create the top fade by gradually cutting horizontal segments of hair with different guard sizes.
The hair world borrowed the term 'Ombre' from the french word meaning shaded or shading. Ombre hair color is generally darker at the roots through the mid-shaft and then gradually gets lighter from the mid-shaft to the ends.
a seemingly permanent beachy look with an effortless texture, youth, and natural malleability that people with other hair types struggle to obtain.
A classic short hairstyle where it is cut above the shoulders in a blunt cut with typically no layers. This style is most common among women.


$().SPServices.SPCascadeDropdowns
The SPCascadeDropdowns function lets you set up cascading dropdowns on SharePoint forms. What this means is that you can enforce hierarchical relationships between column values. The function uses the GetListItems operation of the Lists Web Service to refresh the allowable values based on relationships which are maintained in reference lists. By implementing this function, there are no coding requirements to manage the hierarchical relationships (once it is in place) and you can let your users manage the content in the reference lists.
This function works with any number of options in the dropdowns as well as multi-select parent and child columns, as shown in the following table. This is significant because each of the three column types are rendered significantly differently by SharePoint.
| parentColumn | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| <20 options | 20+ options | multi-select | ||
| childColumn | <20 options | |||
| 20+ options | ||||
| multi-select |
When the relationshipList contains lookup columns for both the relationshipListParentColumn and relationshipListChildColumn columns, the function uses the relationshipListParentColumn's ID rather than the relationshipList item's ID. This means that "secondary lists" are also supported.
Note that "multiple cascades" are supported, such as Country -> Region -> State. In this example, we have two "cascades" in place: Country -> Region, and Region -> State. There's not a lot to show here, but the available options in the dropdowns will change based on the relationships defined in the lists shown below. So, if you choose Country = United States
, the options for Region will be limited to Northeast, Southeast, Midwest, Mountain, Southwest, Northwest
. If you choose Country = Canada
, the options for Region would be Eastern Provinces, Western Provinces
.
Take a look at our demo page .
$().SPServices.SPCascadeDropdowns({
relationshipWebURL: "",
relationshipList: "",
relationshipListParentColumn: "",
relationshipListChildColumn: "",
relationshipListSortColumn: "",
parentColumn: "",
childColumn: "",
CAMLQuery: "",
CAMLQueryOptions: "<QueryOptions><IncludeMandatoryColumns>FALSE</IncludeMandatoryColumns></QueryOptions>", // Added in 2013.01
listName: $().SPServices.SPListNameFromUrl(),
promptText: "",
simpleChild: false, // Added in v0.6.2
selectSingleOption: false, // Added in v0.6.2
matchOnId: false, // Added in v0.7.1
completefunc: null,
debug: false
});
relationshipWebURL
The URL of the Web (site) which contains the relationshipList. If not specified, the current site is used. Examples would be: "/", "/Accounting", "/Departments/HR", etc. Note: It's always best to use relative URLs.
relationshipList
The name or GUID of the list which contains the parent/child relationships. If you choose to use the GUID, it should look like: "{E73FEA09-CF8F-4B30-88C7-6FA996EE1706}". Note also that if you use the GUID, you do not need to specify the relatedWebURL if the list is in another site.
relationshipListParentColumn
The StaticName of the parent column in the relationshipList
relationshipListChildColumn
The StaticName of the child column in the relationshipList
CAMLQuery
The CAMLQuery option allows you to specify an additional filter on the relationshipList. The additional filter will be
<Eq><FieldRef Name='Country'/><Value Type='Text'>United States</Value></Eq>
CAMLQueryOptions
This option can be used to specify additional options for retrieval from the sourceList. See the MSDN documentation for GetListItems for the syntax.
relationshipListSortColumn
If specified, sort the options in the dropdown by this column otherwise the options are sorted by relationshipListChildColumn
parentColumn
The DisplayName of the parent column in the form
childColumn
The DisplayName of the child column in the form
listName
By default, set to the list name for the current context based on the URL. If your form is outside the context of the list, then you can specify the listName yourself.
promptText
Text to use as prompt. If included, {0} will be replaced with the value of childColumn. The default value is ""
.
NOTE: I discourage the use of this option. Yes, I put it into the function, but if the user doesn't make a choice, they get an ugly error because SharePoint doesn't understand it as an option. I've left in in for backward compatibility. Deprecated in v0.7.1.
simpleChild
If set to true, the child dropdown will be converted to a "simple" dropdown - only if it is a "complex" dropdown on page load. See $().SPServices.SPComplexToSimpleDropdown for details on how this works. The default value is false.
selectSingleOption
If set to true and there is only a single child option, select it. The default value is false.
matchOnId
By default, we match on the lookup's text value. If matchOnId is true, we'll match on the lookup id instead. The default value is false.
completefunc
If specified, the completefunc will be called each time there is a change to parentColumn. Potential uses for the completefunc: consistent default formatting overrides, additional lookup customizations, image manipulations, etc. You can pass your completefunc in either of these two ways:
completefunc: function() {
...do something...
},
or
completefunc: doSomething, // Where doSomething is the name of your function
debug
Setting debug: true
indicates that you would like to receive messages if anything obvious is wrong with the function call, like using a column name which doesn't exist. I call this debug mode.
To make the example shown at the top of the page for Country -> Region -> State work, here's what you need to do.
The end result will look like this:
You'll need these three relationship lists:
Countries List
The Countries list simply contains all of the country names, stored in the list's Title column.
Regions List
The Regions list contains all of the Region names in the Title column. The Country column is a Lookup column into the Countries list's Title column.
States List
The States list contains all of the State names in the Title column. Note that I've changed the DisplayName of the Title column to State, but the StaticName is still Title. The Region Name column is a Lookup column into the Regions list's Title column. (The State Abbreviation column is only here to show that you can also store additional information about the States in this list. The same is true of the Countries and Regions lists, of course.)
This is the sum total of what you'll need to add to your page to make the function work for the example above. The first two lines simply pull the script files into the page, and the $(document).ready(function()
line is a jQuery function that says "Run this script when the page has been fully rendered". In the first call to the function, note that we're turning debug mode on by setting debug: true
.
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="../../jQuery%20Libraries/jquery-1.11.3.js"></script>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="../../jQuery%20Libraries/jquery.SPServices-2014.02.min.js"></script>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$().SPServices.SPCascadeDropdowns({
relationshipList: "Regions",
relationshipListParentColumn: "Country",
relationshipListChildColumn: "Title",
CAMLQuery: "<Eq><FieldRef Name='Status'/><Value Type='Text'>Active</Value></Eq>", parentColumn: "Country",
childColumn: "Region",
debug: true
});
$().SPServices.SPCascadeDropdowns({
relationshipList: "States",
relationshipListParentColumn: "Region_x0020_Name",
relationshipListChildColumn: "Title",
relationshipListSortColumn: "ID",
parentColumn: "Region",
childColumn: "State"
});
});

Asymmetric Tri-training for Unsupervised Domain Adaptation
In
this
paper, we propose the use of an asymmetric tritraining
method for unsupervised domain adaptation,
where we assign pseudo-labels to unlabeled
samples and train the neural networks as
if they are true labels. In our work, we use
three networks asymmetrically, and by asymmetric,
we mean that two networks are used to label
unlabeled target samples, and one network
is trained by the pseudo-labeled samples to obtain
target-discriminative representations. Our
proposed method was shown to achieve a stateof-the-art
performance on the benchmark digit
recognition datasets for domain adaptation.
