On-screen, he'd be like what Anakin Skywalker was like in the new Star Wars films, but with less melodrama and a far more gruesome ending when he kills his own dad and destroys most of the human civilization. Arthas begins as your average goodie-goodie knight of humankind, but over the course of Warcraft III gets twisted by the horrible things he sees and eventually grabs a magical sword that sucks his soul out and turns him evil, infecting much of humanity with a plague that turns them into zombies. Thrall is the leader of the Horde in World of Warcraft, and character-wise feels like a shamanistic, friendlier Conan – brutal yet thoughtful. Men at War Blizzard would do well to focus the film both on Arthas – who later becomes the Lich King – and Thrall, as the former inadvertently brings destruction and disease to the Eastern Kingdoms and the latter escapes it with his newly-forged Horde. ![]() People who are new to the Warcraft lore don't need to know the ins and outs of the first two games, but fans and newbies alike will enjoy watching them summarised in a brief montage of huge battles between Orcs and Humans – a good example of which will be Warcraft I's battle of Stormwind Keep – like Helm's Deep from LOTR except with more blood and guts. The Setup If Raimi's smart, he'll attempt to get through the stories of Warcraft I and II as quickly as possible, establishing the main races and the key events of the storyline without dwelling too much, as by the end of Warcraft II, many of them were quite dead. ![]()

The writers work so quickly that “they rely on us to sorta cut 50 percent of the melodrama from it and bring the eccentricity to it.” “It’s the eccentricity that we bring” that really makes a character pop, he theorized. As a result, he became not merely a lying Casanova but a lying Casanova that amused the hell out of the audience. Knight was given the go-ahead to give viewers a little comic relief. So “I said, ‘If he’s gotta be such a jerk, can I make him funny?’” “I went to and told her, ‘I can’t say this and not sound like a total a–hole,” he continued.

When to extend cache clearing We found that cached pages were cleared almost instantly from wherever the server floats in the cloud all the way through Pantheon’s Global CDN. In Drupal 7, when you turn on these two modules, which requires a few lines in settings.php, they just work. And when D8cache calls for tags to be invalidated by invoking hook_invalidate_cache_tags(), the Pantheon module talks to the CDN to clear the stale pages. ![]() The Pantheon module adds an HTTP header listing the tags to each page it serves. The tags look like node:1234, taxonomy_term:5678, views:blog_recent, and so on. ![]() If you’re on Drupal 8, you only need Pantheon’s module, but this article is about Drupal 7.ĭ8cache works by attaching cache tags to content, users, entities, taxonomy terms and more, using Drupal hooks to listen for a variety of CRUD operations. How it worksįor D7 sites, Pantheon’s module depends on Drupal 8 Cache Backport (D8cache for short), a backport of the Drupal 8 cache system, or part of it at least. We’ve been experimenting with the alpha version of Pantheon Advanced Page Cache with great results. Now that Pantheon has a module connecting Drupal to its Global CDN, clearing stale pages from the CDN (also referred to as the edge cache) happens instantly and automatically. And we don’t want to force editors to clear the entire site cache on every content change - easy to forget until marketing contacts the editors wondering why the CEO’s press release isn’t on the site yet. Our clients actively update their sites with new and timely content, and delivering fresh pages to their international audiences is crucial to their success.īecause they also need to precisely control release of content, waiting 15 minutes for the cache to expire (or longer depending on how that is configured) before visitors see the new or updated content is unacceptable.

Each SAS customer’s experience is unique based on business and technical variables and all statements must be considered non-typical. The results illustrated in this article are specific to the particular situations, business models, data input, and computing environments described herein. SAS is helping Wake County achieve this goal without significantly increasing our staffing or operating budget.” “Our goal is to make sure the 2020 assessed values are as fair, accurate and equitable as possible, not increasing tax revenues. Kinrade noted the SAS investment is not about generating property tax revenue. This helps us to quickly identify neighborhoods that may require additional review to determine what is causing the divergence and make any necessary adjustments.” Properties are currently selling quickly in the county, and these sales, in turn, influence market values for all properties.Īccording to Kinrade, “SAS Viya performs an independent, data-driven, objective analysis for each property that can be compared with our appraisers’ analysis and assumptions to validate accuracy or identify divergence. Human judgment enhanced by artificial intelligenceĬounty appraisers first perform their own analysis and determine values for each property, then turn to SAS Viya for an objective second opinion. These interactive reports give Wake County appraisers access to information such as updated property evaluations, a list of the five most similar neighborhoods for any given address, and comparisons of estimates calculated with SAS versus actual sale prices. To support the model, SAS generates and hosts a series of reports using SAS Visual Analytics and SAS Visual Statistics, both available on the SAS Viya suite of products. It is powered by the artificial intelligence capabilities of SAS ® Visual Data Mining and Machine Learning, a tool that supports end-to-end data mining and machine learning with a comprehensive, visual interface that handles all tasks in the analytical life cycle – from data to discovery to deployment. The Wake County tax assessment model was built with repeatability in mind so that it can be adopted by other governments with minimal customization. With every home sale, the model is refined automatically to become more precise. The model employs decision trees to estimate sale prices based on a series of decisions: How much heated area does the house contain? Does the property have vinyl siding or a brick exterior? And so on. There are dozens of inputs that affect property value, such as location, size and finishes. 1, 2020, market value for each property based on recent sales data. SAS built cloud-based, machine learning models for Wake County that consider hundreds of factors and daily property sales to offer timely, objective, highly accurate market forecasts. Wake County turned to SAS and the SAS Viya platform to identify changing market trends every day for every property. Machine learning on the SAS ® Viya ® platform “We needed unbiased support to analyze our volumes of data, and SAS was the obvious choice,” Kinrade says. ![]() ![]() More than 3,000 parcels are sold each month, and even the simplest condominium unit can have more than 25 variables analyzed. With such a dynamic market, Wake County officials need real-time information on how market values are changing. “We couldn’t possibly hire and train enough appraisers and support staff fast enough to get our work done accurately on a shorter reappraisal cycle,” Kinrade says. This work will now be completed every four years. Previously, the Wake County Revenue Department had eight years to complete the general reappraisal on nearly 400,000 properties. Compounding this growth is a shorter reappraisal cycle. Kinrade is charged with overseeing property assessments in a flourishing county, which has added 20,000 parcels since the last general reappraisal in 2016. Meet Marcus Kinrade, Wake County’s Revenue Director. Explosive growth has sparked a robust building environment and increasing property values – creating a moving target for those challenged with assessing property values in a booming real estate market.
