Der russsisch-stämmige Regisseur John M. Stahl wuchs in den USA auf, begann seine Karriere in den 1910er-Jahren, kam aber erst in den 30/40er Jahren zu Ruhm. Zu seinen bekannteren Werken gehört ein frühes Unikum (da in Farbe gedreht) des Film Noir: LEAVE HER TO HEAVEN (1945). Der Filmkritiker Leonard Maltin zu MAGNIFICENT OBSESSION: "Antiquierte, aber aufrichtige Adaption von Lloyd Douglas' Geschichte über einen trunksüchtigen Playboy (Taylor), der sein Leben ändert und ein angesehener Chirurg wird, um einer Frau (Dunne), die er bei einem Autounfall blind gemacht hat, das Augenlicht zurückzugeben. Diese Seifenoper verschaffte Taylor seine erste wichtige Hauptrolle – und machte ihn zum Star. 1954 neu verfilmt [durch Douglas Sirk]." \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- Program: 2:30 p.m. Meet in the foyer of the Filmpodium Zurich 3-5 p.m. Film Followed by optional discussion of the film [see details](https://www.filmpodium.ch/film/172365/magnificent-obsession) Please buy your ticket by yourself. Russian-born director John M. Stahl grew up in the US and began his career in the 1910s, but only rose to fame in the 1930s and 1940s. Among his better-known works is an early example (a unique, because shot in color) of film noir: LEAVE HER TO HEAVEN (1945). Film critic Leonard Maltin on MAGNIFICENT OBSESSION: Dated but sincere adaptation of Lloyd Douglas' story about drunken playboy (Taylor) who mends his ways, becomes respected surgeon in order to restore the eyesight of a woman (Dunne) he blinded in an auto accident. Soap opera gave Taylor his first important lead— and made him a star. Remade in 1954 [by Douglas Sirk].

**Abstract:** The Advanced Photon Source (APS) is an X-ray light source at Argonne National Laboratory where researchers perform imaging, diffraction and spectroscopy experiments at 68 specialized beamlines. APS recently completed a major upgrade that made it the brightest synchrotron in the world and upgraded many of the beamlines to take advantage of the dramatically brighter, more coherent beam. These new capabilities are increasing the facility’s raw data production from <10 PB/year before the upgrade to >100 PB/year once all instruments are back online. To meet this data challenge, the APS Beamline Data Pipeline project team is partnering with beamline staff to develop and deploy science data pipelines that use a common set of open-source software tools (many written in Python) to link instruments with the Polaris supercomputer at the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility (ALCF) for data processing. This talk will describe the APS data systems, our file-based and streaming pipeline templates, and some of the open-source software we use to extract scientific insights from beamline data. **Audience Takeaway:** Open source Python data acquisition and analysis tools are ubiquitous at the APS. Many of the packages that are mentioned can be found at [https://github.com/AdvancedPhotonSource](https://github.com/AdvancedPhotonSource). This is a *hybrid* event. To attend online, join us on Zoom here at 6pm: [https://numfocus-org.zoom.us/j/89399976851?pwd=UEgMUZXdYmKdK1x1dIPL6hwUYnp7NW.1](https://numfocus-org.zoom.us/j/89399976851?pwd=UEgMUZXdYmKdK1x1dIPL6hwUYnp7NW.1) **Sponsor**: Grainger will provide the meeting site, as well as snacks for the onsite participants. * **Address:** 222 W Merchandise Mart Plaza, 18th Floor, Chicago, IL 60654 * **Grainger's Overview:** W.W.

Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you knew Del Close on a personal level, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup** for some fun and games! The idea behind improv is to create entire scenes from scratch based on a suggestion from the audience. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway*, *ComedySportz*, or *Wild 'n Out*; it could also be done to tell stories, like *Middleditch and Schwartz*. Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and free!) weekly comedy event, brings the games (and occasionally different forms) for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Not only is it a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and make friendships that'll last a lifetime! Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "Yes, And" that you'll have fun!

**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you. The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 **Abstract** TBD **YouTube Link** TBA
