This package provides stream classes for reading archives using the Unix DUMP format. This format is similar to (and contemporary with) TAR but reads the raw filesystem directly. This means that writers are filesystem-specific even though the created archives are filesystem-agnostic.
Unlike other formats DUMP offers clean support for sparse files, extended attributes, and other file metadata. In addition DUMP supports incremental dump files can capture (most) file deletion. It also provides a native form of compression and will soon support native encryption as well.
In practice TAR archives are used for both distribution and backups. DUMP archives are used exclusively for backups.
Like any 30+-year-old application there are a number of variants. For pragmatic reasons we will only support archives with the 'new' tape header and inode formats. Other restrictions:
As of Apache Commons Compress 1.3 support for the dump format is read-only.

U.S.A. v. Erhard Milch
Erhard Milch, a Field Marshal in the German Air Force, was chiefly responsible for the production of aircraft during the war (e.g., the Jaegerstab program) and was also, as a member of the Central Planning Board under Albert Speer, one of the managers of the German war economy.
Milch was tried by Tribunal 2 at Nuremberg, from 13 Nov 1946 (indictment filed) to 17 Apr 1947 (sentence). The indictment had three counts: 1. (War crimes) Mistreatment of civilians of occupied territories and prisoners of war as slave laborers; 2. (War crimes) Medical experiments (high altitude and freezing) on concentration camp inmates; 3. (Crimes against humanity) Slave labor and medical experiments on German nationals and citizens of other countries. Milch was accused of direct participation in the conscription and mistreatment of slave laborers, and of administrative responsibility for the medical experiments conducted for the air force.
The prosecution presented 161 written exhibits and 3 witnesses. The defense presented 51 written exhibits, 30 witnesses, and testimony by Milch himself. The tribunal called one witness.
Milch was acquitted of the charges concerning medical experiments and found guilty of the charges concerning slave labor. He was sentenced to life imprisonment; in 1951 the sentence was commuted to a term of 15 years.

Hero MotoCorp launches first BS-VI compliant Splendor iSmart at Rs 64,900
This marks the commencement of the transition of Hero MotoCorp's product range to BS-VI norms, Le Masson added.
by Press Trust of IndiaTwo-wheeler market leader Hero MotoCorp on Thursday launched its first BS-VI compliant motorcycle, the new Splendor iSmart, priced at Rs 64,900.
The motorcycle, which has 110cc fuel injection engine that delivers power of 9 BHP, also provides added punch with higher torque along with a higher fuel efficiency from the previous generation, Hero MotoCorp said in a statement.
"This is the first BS-VI compliant motorcycle homologated in the country with a new engine family, and a new chassis design, completely designed and developed at our Centre of Innovation and Technology (CIT) in Jaipur," Hero MotoCorp Head - Global Product Planning Malo Le Masson said.
This marks the commencement of the transition of Hero MotoCorp's product range to BS-VI norms, Le Masson added.
Hero MotoCorp Head Sales, After Sales and Parts Sanjay Bhan said, the new Splendor iSmart will be made available in a phased manner across the country as the company steadily ramp-up production.
"The launch plan for our BS-VI products has been strategically developed keeping in mind the interest of our customers and the demographic dynamics of the market," he said.
Bhan further said, "The price of this motorcycle is a directional guidance of the price points of our upcoming BS-VI vehicles, which will be launched sequentially in the coming months.


Lamborghini Jarama (1970 – 1976)
The Jarama, the Islero’s chubby successor, provoked a mixed reaction at launch, partly because the need to meet US safety and emissions regulations had made it a heavier car than ideal. Similarly the origins of its name have a confusing double meaning – intended to refer to a district in Spain that breeds fighting bulls, Jarama is also the name of the racing circuit outside Madrid that previously hosted the Spanish Grand Prix..

Lamborghini Countach (1974 – 1990)
Perhaps the most celebrated Lamborghini name of all. Countach is a word from the local Piedmontese dialect which signifies an exclamation of amazement. The apocryphal tale is that design legend Nuccio Bertone uttered the word when he first caught sight of the Marcello Gandini-designed prototype, and the name stuck. There’s no direct translation; calling it the Lamborghini Cor Blimey doesn’t quite have the same effect somehow.

It is a concept of software development. Pair programming is one of the best ways to accelerate problem solving and getting the task done.
Allows us to get a better feel to solve problems, communications, a development standard and also the ability to learn from each other. Also a great method to setup a Mentor/Mentee program.

This tool checks for the following:
.git/HEAD
.git/config
.git
directory returning 403
because indexes aren't enabled and sites that will respond with a 200 no matter whether the page exists
or not.
If the .git
directory allows for listing, clone it with wget --mirror --no-parent <target>/.git
, move into the directory, and run git reset --hard
.
Not all .git directorys will list their directory contents, though (see this slideshow, to which I am heavily indebted for inspiration). In this case, you'll want to use dvcs-ripper, a handy perl script to yank down Git/SVN/CVS repos without directory listings.


24
1 “Why are not times of judgment kept by the Almighty,
and why do those who know him never see his days?
2 Some move landmarks;
they seize flocks and pasture them.
3 They drive away the donkey of the fatherless;
they take the widow's ox for a pledge.
4 They thrust the poor off the road;
the poor of the earth all hide themselves.
5 Behold, like wild donkeys in the desert
the poor go out to their toil, seeking game;
the wasteland yields food for their children.
6 They gather their fodder in the field,
and they glean the vineyard of the wicked man.
7 They lie all night naked, without clothing,
and have no covering in the cold.
8 They are wet with the rain of the mountains
and cling to the rock for lack of shelter.
9 (There are those who snatch the fatherless child from the breast,
and they take a pledge against the poor.)
10 They go about naked, without clothing;
hungry, they carry the sheaves;
11 among the olive rows of the wicked they make oil;
they tread the winepresses, but suffer thirst.
12 From out of the city the dying groan,
and the soul of the wounded cries for help;
yet God charges no one with wrong.
13 “There are those who rebel against the light,
who are not acquainted with its ways,
and do not stay in its paths.
14 The murderer rises before it is light,
that he may kill the poor and needy,
and in the night he is like a thief.
15 The eye of the adulterer also waits for the twilight,
saying, ‘No eye will see me’;
and he veils his face.
16 In the dark they dig through houses;
by day they shut themselves up;
they do not know the light.
17 For deep darkness is morning to all of them;
for they are friends with the terrors of deep darkness.
18 “You say, ‘Swift are they on the face of the waters;
their portion is cursed in the land;
no treader turns toward their vineyards.
19 Drought and heat snatch away the snow waters;
so does Sheol those who have sinned.
20 The womb forgets them;
the worm finds them sweet;
they are no longer remembered,
so wickedness is broken like a tree.’
21 “They wrong the barren childless woman,
and do no good to the widow.
22 Yet God prolongs the life of the mighty by his power;
they rise up when they despair of life.
23 He gives them security, and they are supported,
and his eyes are upon their ways.
24 They are exalted a little while, and then are gone;
they are brought low and gathered up like all others;
they are cut off like the heads of grain.
25 If it is not so, who will prove me a liar
and show that there is nothing in what I say?”

Documentation
Everything you need to create a game with FRAG
Documentation is still very much a work in progress. Please understand there may be rapid changes to this section of the website.
FRAG’s game loop is pretty standard and can be broken down into several sections. The initialization phase of the game loop begins when the startFrag procedure is called. During this phase of the game loop, the framework itself along with all of its subsystems will be initialized. The initApp procedure of the app object provided to the startFrag procedure, will also be invoked - allowing the FRAG application to execute whatever initialization logic it needs to. Once the framework, subsystems, and application have all finished carrying out their initialization logic, the game loop actually begins. During every iteration of the game loop, the updateApp procedure will be called. This provides the application with a hook where it can implement whatever update logic it needs to.
Along with the updateApp procedure, the renderApp procedure will be called each frame. Similar to how application state updates should be performed during the updateApp invocation, any drawing that is to be done should be performed during this call.
The final phase of the game loop is the shutdown phase. This phase is entered when the framework calls the shutdownApp procedure. For this phase to be entered, the conditional check which was enforcing the actual loop of the game loop, must fail. This is generally caused by the end-user of the application closing it, or the application unexpectedly terminating. During the invocation of the shutdownApp procedure, resources which are not automatically released by the framework, or garbage-collected, should be freed.

If I wanted to use Gecode in a Java-project, I would definitely write
the model in C++ and write a small custom JNI-method to interface it.
My main reason (apart from the fact that I think models in C++ are
more readable) is that JNI-calls are fairly expensive, and a
full-blown wrapper like Gecode/J uses a lot of them.

Well, we try to remove as much of the markup as possible. If there are
more things you'd like removed, please see misc/doxygen2javadoc.perl
for more changes. I know that the math-parts is left in a LaTeX-style,
but I think it is still readable.

Yes, I know that. DFSIterator implements both Iterator and Iterable,
as is stated on
http://www.gecode.org/gecodej/javadoc/org/gecode/DFSIterator.html

I'm under the impression that that is a bad design-choice, since it
unduly couples components. If you think otherwise, then you would have
liked Gecode/J before the change: Space inherited from Gecode, which
inherited from JavaSpace, the Java counter-part of the C++ class
Space. We felt the connections were too tangled to be easily managed.
I'm not sure why auto-complete would not find a static import, but
maybe that is because the feature is too new for the IDEs to keep up.

Due to the way that Gecode and the Gecode/J wrapper works, the call to
update the variables from the class to be copied to the new class must
be in the constructor of the class (e.g., the line "q = new
VarArray<IntVar>(this, share, queens.q);" from Queens.java).
If you know of a way to require a subclass to define a constructor
with a particular signature, then I would be very glad to learn it. As
is, the copy-method in Space checks for the constructor, and raises a
runtime error if it is not present in the class.

I'm not ignoring your suggestions, please don't imply that. I was
merely trying to give a few answers.

The contents are of the class-type specified in the opening class
statement. If you are referring to the class-objects that are passed
to the various constructors, this is because, AFAIK, the class-object
is needed to construct new elements. This is an unfortunate
side-effect of using type-erasure for implementing generics.

In the context of modeling, I would say that inclusive ranges are more
useful. I don't have any data to back this up though, just my personal
experience.

TSA (Technology Student Association) is a national organization dedicated to creating future leaders in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics fields. The organization uses its yearly set of competitions to test the abilities of the students competing in the event. In addition to expanding their knowledge, the members are able to represent their school and community when competing.
The TSA motto “learning to lead in a technical world” is precisely what the organization is working towards, as the club has opened branches in 48 of the 50 states. The overall mission of TSA is to have the members of the club learn and develop their skills in the STEM department and to eventually implement them on solutions towards the world’s most concerning problems.
TSA has more than 30 competitive events that range in topics covering science, technology, engineering, art, and math.
To help students figure out what events are what best for them, the HSN TSA chapter has created an automated event suggestion tool!
TSA Event Finder ToolWe are WWP High School North’s TSA club, competing in the school’s first TSA season. The officers of the club observed the impact of TSA on the surrounding communities and decided to bring the opportunity to the students of West Windsor and Plainsboro.
Despite the lengthy process of getting the club approved in the school, the officers stayed persistent and were able to establish the club in school before the September of 2017. The club was founded with enough time to publicly introduce the club at the school club fair, where 63 loyal members were recruited. The chapter collectively participated in 17 competitive events for the first time at the NJ state conference this spring. We are now competing in 6 competitive events at the National Conference from June 22nd to June 26th.
I believe in using technology to make the world a better place. I believe in collaborating with others to create beneficial solutions for the future. I believe that I should be dedicated to creating new technologies and educating others about technology. I will strive to better the world around us and to spread the influence of technology.
Before the start of every club meeting, each student must sign in to attendance via Google Form. Once a month, the officers send a checkpoint form through email to check up on the progress of each group. During the weekly after school meeting following this checkpoint, the officers meet with each group in person to check in on their progress, answer questions, and help them plan for the next week. The officers will advise each group as they move closer to the competition dates.
To keep all students intact with their TSA event, the club runs weekly meetings to regroup the teams and update each other on any group progress. The club officers begin the meetings with recaps on competition dates, event updates, and general announcements. Throughout the meetings, students in each event regroup to share their personal progress on the project and to collaborate on plans for the upcoming competitions.
Club Fair is a school program where each club has a chance to directly recruit members by recording their contact information. The TSA club of High School North was able to gain 63 loyal members through that short fair, and we hope to expand on that number by next year’s fair.
The lab safety training is a TSA school club program that trains each student on the different engineering equipment available to them. Once they finish the lesson, they have 3 chances to pass a quiz on the lab information. The quiz is to ensure that everyone who goes into the lab room has enough experience and knowledge to ensure their own safety and the safety of those around them. If the student passes the quiz, they will have access to all the lab’s machinary.
To inspire the students and expose them to other applications of technology, the President of the chapter asked for a few guests to speak at one of the weekly meetings. The guests were a self initiated FIRST FTC robotics team and their mentor, who demoed their robot and spoke about their programming design.
To celebrate New Years, the students held a party at one of the weekly meetings in January. The party became a quick success as all the members of the club had brought different food items to contribute. Students shared their projects with other groups, enjoying themselves and each other's company.
Project Code is a community program founded by 3 members of our TSA chapter to provide elementary school kids access to free programming classes. Members of our TSA chapter created a 3 month long Scratch programming curriculum, contacted libraries, and promoted the classes to the community. So far, the team has taught 90 students in 2 local libraries - Hamilton and Monroe.
Another way the TSA club helps to promote the TSA motto is by encouraging its own school members to showcase their TSA projects in the community. The Innovation Fair in West Windsor-Plainsboro is a public community fair held in May where students from different schools come to display their innovative projects. Members of our TSA chapter have been accepted to showcase their projects at this fair this spring.
One of the events our club is competing in is Biotechnology Design. Because this year’s topic was food, the group focused on how biological diseases in Eastern Africa are inhibiting the growth of crops and destroying food supplies. This group took the challenge head on by consulting the school’s AP Biology teachers and analyzing research from professors, to write an extensive research paper and create a solution to eradicate the problem.
The video game design group was challenged to create a sports themed game. The 6 participants of this event were very innovative on their approach to the challenge; they wanted to create a game based off a sport that is not very commonly seen as a game. The team used a cross-platform game engine, Unity, to create a high quality car racing game.
This year, the challenge for the TSA Children stories event was to design an electronically enhanced story book. The team was able to come up with a very creative final project as each member of the group had different strengths that they brought to the table. Some members were very strong in software engineering and computer science while others were tutors who understood the fundations from which children learn. This combination of talented members helped the event group create an eloquent children’s story.
The digital video production group was challenged to make a public service announcement and a digital video. This group created an infomercial for the TSA children stories event. They used Final Cut Pro and Adobe After Effects to create a video using high-quality VFX.
Sahit is a founder and president of WWP HSN TSA. He is passionate about computer science and would like to share his love for computers with others through TSA. The president manages the overall meeting, informs the committee about what should be done, and sets up meetings with various sources.
Neil is a founder and Vice President of TSA. He is interested in video production and photography. The Vice President assists officers in accomplishing tasks assigned by President, and takes control of club if President is not present.
George holds the secretary position. He has a passion for STEM and is particularly interested in software development. The secretary records the participation of the club members and conferences with the students about event progress.
Skandan is the club treasurer. He is interested in biology and the medical sciences. The treasurer controls the financial portions of the club, maintains the club’s bank account and updates other officers on account information.
Aparna holds the reporter position. She is interested in educating younger children about STEM and spreading STEM in the community. The reporter reports the club’s progress or any news to the public, contributes to the TSA web page and contacts the club president if any urgent news regarding the club is released.
Jagdeep is the club's Sergeant-at-Arms. He loves all things chemistry. The Sergeant-At-Arms organizes the room before every club meeting, assists the President in any procedures or events requiring altering the environment and enforces club rules when necessary.
The NJ state conference was held on April 14, 2018. It is held every spring at The College Of New Jersey. This year, students from New Jersey competed in over 30 different events and some of the winners are proceeding to the national TSA conference in Atlanta, Georgia. Despite being WWP High School North’s first year at competition, we collectively participated in 17 events with a majority of members doing multiple events.
The national TSA conference is from June 22nd to June 26th. This year, it is being held in Atlanta, Georgia. Students from all over the country will be competing in this 5 day long conference, participiating in events ranging from a keynote speech by Todd Thibodeaux to their own competitive events.
The NJ TSA Leadership Conference was a meeting between all the officers of each participating school’s TSA club in New Jersey. The officers of our club went with curiosity, as a school new to TSA, yet came back with confidence in the club’s goals and members. Each of the officers learned valuable leadership skills interacting with the state officers and other TSA chapters. The officers also participated in a Toy Story themed design challenge, where they had to create a carriage that moved past a zipline.
In our first year as a club, our 63 students placed in 9 total events at the state conference! Some of the winning teams are now heading to the national competition.

Review by John Beachem

Directed by: Bryan Singer Written by: Bryan Singer, David Hayter, Tom DeSanto
In the world of the X-men, the human race is divided into three factions. First we have the normal humans, led by Senator Kelly (Bruce Davison). Second, there are the students of the kindly Professor Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart), who are working to live side by side with regular humans. Professor X and is students are mutants, meaning genetic mutation has granted them strange and powerful abilities. The professor is able to read peoples minds and control their actions through telepathy. His X-men (older students who have learned to control their abilities) include Cyclops (James Marsden), who can fire powerful beams from his eyes; Storm (Halle Berry), who can control the weather; and Jean Grey (Famke Janssen), who can move objects with her mind. Professor Xavier's old friend, Eric Magnus, aka Magneto (Ian McKellen), controls the second faction. This group believes that humans and mutants are heading for a war, and he intends to make the first strike. Magneto and his flunkies: Sabretooth (Tyler Mane), Mystique (Rebecca Romijn-Stamos), and Toad (Ray Park) intend to turn the leaders of the world into mutants so they will be on Magneto's side when the war comes. To do this he requires one of Xavier's two new students. The students are Wolverine (Hugh Jackman), who can heal from nearly any wound and is able to eject razor sharp claws from his hands; and Rogue (Anna Paquin), a young girl who can drain the life out of people and mutants just by touching them. Xavier has to determine which student Magneto is after and why before he can carry out his plans.
Guess what folks, that plot summary could have been even longer. Bryan Singer has managed to condense 38 years of X-men comics into one movie. I'd better warn you right now, if you didn't have a clue what I was talking about when you were reading that summary, avoid this movie because you are going to be completely lost. If the plot sounded interesting to you try to see the film with an X-men reader so they can explain things to you in advance. Okay, the rest of this review is directed entirely at those of you who would qualify as X-men fanatics (you know who you are, don't try to deny it). When I first saw the previews for this film several months back I was more than a little skeptical. In fact, the only thought that was running through my mind while I watched the preview was "Oh dear lord, what have they done?" To say I was pleasantly surprised by the final product would be an understatement. Bryan Singer has done a bang up job, creating a truly fun and exciting summer movie in a year full of dull, formulaic films. In fact, I haven't been to a summer movie that was this much fun since 1998's "The Mask of Zorro".
I know one of the largest concerns many X-men fans (myself included) had with the new movie was the casting of Australian actor Hugh Jackman as fan favorite Wolverine. The Wolverine seen in the comics stands a little over five feet tall, is built like a brick wall, and looks to be about forty five years old. Hugh Jackman is over six feet tall, is slender but muscular, and looks like he's in his early thirties. As it turns out this was one of the best casting choices in the movie. Not only is Jackman a great actor, but his appearance looks more threatening in real life than I think someone with the comic character's appearance would have. There are three other really great actors in "X-men", but I'll get to them in a minute. First I want to cover the minor characters. James Marsden ("Gossip") and Halle Berry ("Bulworth") are both woefully miscast, though I'm not sure anyone could have played Cyclops in quite the right way. Tyler Mane (of professional wrestling fame) and Rebecca Romjin-Stamos ("Dirty Work") aren't required to act much, but they fit their parts quite nicely. Ray Park ("Star Wars: Episode One") hams it up something fierce as Toad, but he's obviously having such a good time that it's easy to forgive. Finally we have Bruce Davison ("Apt Pupil") playing Senator Kelly in a nice, believable fashion. This character could have been over-played to the point of being ridiculous, yelling anti-mutant sentiments at the senate and behaving much like Hitler. Davison keeps his performance restrained and soft spoken, which makes us believe a person like this could still have power this day and age.
The three great performances come from Patrick Stewart (Star Trek: The Next Generation), Ian McKellen ("Gods and Monsters"), and Anna Paquin ("The Piano"). I can't see anyone but Patrick Stewart playing the part of Professor Charles Xavier. Stewart has all the perfect attributes: the accent, the mannerisms, the soft-spoken nature, the kindly face, and (of course) the bald head. The only complaint I had with Xavier in the film is that he was sadly underused. While he shows up in the beginning to explain things to all the non-fans out there, he vanishes at about the midway point. Ian McKellen seemed like a poor choice for Magneto when I first heard about his casting. The comic version of Magneto is a big, hulking man in his early sixties who can control all metallic objects. Ian McKellen is obviously a little older than that and has a slender build. Fortunately McKellen is such a great actor that he easily makes up for his different physical attributes. Anna Paquin is another choice where fans thought Singer was out of his mind. The comic character of Rogue is a tall southern belle in her thirties. Anna Paquin is, well, Anna Paquin. Thankfully she delivers such a marvelous performance you'd swear she was born to play this role (I'm almost tempted to forgive her for "The Piano"). The Rogue character is one of the more complicated roles to play, being a girl who has no possible future with people since she can never be touched. Paquin plays the role beautifully, avoiding overacting when it would have been so easy to do.
So how does "X-men" fare in other areas besides acting and plot? Obviously one of the biggest draws is going to be the special effects, which are very well done. However, well done special effects are becoming more and more common place in Hollywood. The question then became whether Bryan Singer would use them wisely, and I'm pleased to say he did so. Singer keeps the effects so restrained that when he actually uses them they amaze the audience (as special effects are intended to do). The first time Storm really lets loose her powers in the movie I heard more gasps and cheers from people than I've heard about a movie in a long time (excluding "The Matrix"). The soundtrack to "X-men" is one of the low points, being seldom used and sadly inappropriate when present. Thankfully this is made up for by the great dialogue, which is a good thing because despite what the previews would have you believe, this is a dialogue driven movie. Wolverine gets some of the best lines, such as one in a scene where Xavier has just explained the mutant conflict and his school (and the whole plot actually), and Wolverine responds with: "That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard." There's also a nice little jab at all the "X-men" fans who had criticized the film's costumes (I'm guilty of being one of them I'm afraid, but I've changed my mind since then). Wolverine taps his costume with disgust and asks "You guys always wear these?" Cyclops responds with "Well what would you prefer, yellow Spandex?" The movie runs a nice brisk 90 minutes, but as much as I love short movies, this one could have used a bit more time. Sometimes Singer's direction feels far too rushed, particularly when he's introducing the characters. I'd recommend "X-men" to fans of the comic and of comics in general, since no one else is going to follow the story too well. I give it a well earned four out of five stars.

An Open-source Tool to Guide Decisions for Wildlife Conservation
WildLift can be used to quantitatively compare the costs and demographic benefits of recovery actions for an iconic threatened species, woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou). While we use caribou as a case study, our approach to developing this management tool is transferable to other threatened taxa.
The tool consists of a generalized matrix population model that is parametrized based on information from the published literature or ongoing experiments. Users can input population parameters (e.g., population size and survival rates) or choose from pre-set caribou subpopulations to estimate changes to populations from implementing recovery actions.
The tool estimates the trade-offs associated with seven alternative recovery actions:
Multiple recovery actions are compared allowing users to combine demographic augmentation (maternal penning, predator exclosure, and conservation breeding) with predator and primary prey reductions.

Strom's nigger race
Black Press USA | Submitted by: Dirty Sammy
An accusation that the media has been taming Strom's 1948 speech down. The
claim is that these are his words:
"And I want to tell you, ladies and gentlemen, that there’s not enough troops
in the Army to force the Southern people to break down segregation and admit the
nigger race into our theatres, into our swimming pools, into our homes and into

Tastes Great, Less Filling
Boston Globe | Submitted by: Michael C
"In recent months, with more homeless on city streets, police say downtown
convenience stores have seen a spate of thefts. The most stolen item: mouthwash.
At $3.99 for a 50-ounce bottle, Listerine and similar brands pack a punch,
with as much as 27 percent alcohol content, compared with about 12 percent for
the typical bottle of wine. "I drink the big bottle every day. I can't stand
the taste, but it carries me over; it prevents the seizures."

Prosecutors wear cool neckties
New Orleans Times-Picayune | Submitted by: Dirty Sammy
"Neckties worn by two Jefferson Parish prosecutors that depicted a hangman's
noose and the Grim Reaper at a recent hearing in a capital murder case have
drawn a stern rebuke from District Attorney Paul Connick Jr., who warned them
that such attire is inappropriate and should not be worn again."
 He had drawn national attention years earlier when
his kidnapping of Steven Stayner, a boy he kept with him for several years, became
the subject of the book I Know My First Name is Steven and a 1989 TV movie
of the same name."

Simulator User Guide¶
Note
If you are familiar with Docker, you can skip reading this section and find the package on Docker Hub under nabavilab/varsimlab:1.0.
1. Installing Docker¶
Docker is supported on Linux, Mac and Windows amongst other operating systems too. So, you are guaranteed to get the tool running without worrying about installing other dependencies.
To install Docker:
- Linux (ubuntu): https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/linux/ubuntu/ (check left-side menu for other distributions)
- Mac: https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-mac/install/
- Windows: https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/install/
2. Prepare The Reference Genome¶
There are two ways to easily run VarSimLab for a reference genome
- Download a pre-prepared folder to use from http://nabavilab.uconn.edu/datasets/varsimlab/ .
- Prepare your own reference (super easy).
To prepare a reference genome, follow these steps:
- Create a new folder to hold your files.
- Copy the reference genome in FASTA format (.FASTA | .FA ) to the folder. You can also download genome from UCSC Genome Browser https://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgGateway
- Copy targte regions file in BED format (.BED) to the folder. You can also download the target files from UCSC Table Browser https://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTables
- Create a text file and name it manifest.json. Put the following text after replacing the values of the keys with the name of the files you just copied. Save the file and close it.
{
"reference": "reference.fa",
"targets": "reference-targets.bed"
}
That’s it! Your reference is ready to generate reads from.
3. Running VarSimLab¶
Navigate to the reference folder you created (or downloaded) above.
If you download one of our prepared reference genomes, you can simply execute .run.sh script. Once you see the below message, you can navigate to the web browser to http://localhost:8000
If you have prepared the folder yourself, execute the following command in the terminal.
docker run -v $(pwd):/ref -p 12345:8000 nabavilab/varsimlab:1.0
The -v option mounts the current folder to the container, where the pipeline will check for the reference files. The -p mounts links port 8000 from the container to port 12345 on you local machine (you can choose other ports too). Now, naviate to the web browser to http://localhost:12345
Note
Make sure you see the message that says: found all required simulation files in place; simulation is READY. If you see a different message, that means you are not running the container from the current directory that contains manifest.json and/or other files.
When you navigate to the web browser, you should see the following message
The package automatically detects the reference files and initiate the simulation engine for you.
4. Select Simulation Parameters¶
As the figure shows, all you need to do is to plug in your values for the different simulation parameters. You can leave the default values too.
The output_prefix is where the reads will be generated. If you run multiple simulations, make sure to use different output prefixes for each run. Once you are ready, hit run.
5. Understanding Simulator Results¶
There are two folders inside the output_prefix folder.
- Normal: it will contain .FASTQ file for reads that represent the control (or normal) sample.
- Tumor: it will contain .FASTQ file for reads that represent the tumor sample. In addition, it will contain the benchmark data that tells you where SNPs, Indels and CNVs for each allele in each subclone generated.

What is Feature Injection
Chris Matts and Gojko Adzic describe feature injection in this 2011 article. While BDD provides the structure to drive development through behaviour and examples, feature injection links this to analysis by making features secondary to business value.
-
Find core business value (the 5 whys)
-
Find necessary goals and capabilities - with reference to stake-holders
-
Find the right questions to ask
-
Pull features from the information gathered above

Add .expandableMinimal
to make the textbox
expandable and of initial minimal size. Or define the width yourself:
.dwidget .dijitTextBox.expandableMinimal{

to make it rounder.
The behaviours from the TextBox are available in the filtering select
since it inherits from the TextBox
The filtering select is created programmatically like:
new FilteringSelect({

Comparison and Logical operators are used to test for true or false.
Comparison operators are used in logical statements to determine equality or difference between variables or values.
Given that x = 5, the table below explains the comparison operators:
| Operator | Description | Comparing | Returns | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| == | equal to | x == 8 | false | |
| x == 5 | true | |||
| x == "5" | true | |||
| === | equal value and equal type | x === 5 | true | |
| x === "5" | false | |||
| != | not equal | x != 8 | true | |
| !== | not equal value or not equal type | x !== 5 | false | |
| x !== "5" | true | |||
| x !== 8 | true | |||
| > | greater than | x > 8 | false | |
| < | less than | x < 8 | true | |
| >= | greater than or equal to | x >= 8 | false | |
| <= | less than or equal to | x <= 8 | true |
Comparison operators can be used in conditional statements to compare values and take action depending on the result:
if (age < 18) text = "Too young";
You will learn more about the use of conditional statements in the next chapter of this tutorial.
Logical operators are used to determine the logic between variables or values.
Given that x = 6 and y = 3, the table below explains the logical operators:
| Operator | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| && | and | (x < 10 && y > 1) is true |
| || | or | (x == 5 || y == 5) is false |
| ! | not | !(x == y) is true |
JavaScript also contains a conditional operator that assigns a value to a variable based on some condition.
If the variable age is a value below 18, the value of the variable voteable will be "Too young", otherwise the value of voteable will be "Old enough".
Comparing data of different types may give unexpected results.
When comparing a string with a number, JavaScript will convert the string to a number when doing the comparison. An empty string converts to 0. A non-numeric string converts to NaN which is always false.
When comparing two strings, "2" will be greater than "12", because (alphabetically) 1 is less than 2.
To secure a proper result, variables should be converted to the proper type before comparison:

STEWART SPENCE WAS a young hotelier in Aberdeen in 1971 when he first realised what an oil rush meant. His hotel, the Commodore, was the only one in the Scottish city with en-suite bathrooms. One day an American oil executive strode in, wearing denims, cowboy boots and a stetson. Once assured that the bedrooms had private facilities, he booked 20 rooms for six months and paid upfront by banker’s draft. The American, boss of an oil-services company called Global Marine, was ferrying three oil rigs from the Gulf of Mexico to Aberdeen. Thus began Scotland’s North Sea oil boom. Steak houses, cigars and words like roughneck and roustabout took hold. Texans famously drank Dom Pérignon champagne out of pint mugs. They lived the high life until oil prices crashed in 1986. Then they disappeared almost as swiftly as they had come, says Mr Spence.
Since those days oil has brought both boom and bust to Aberdeen, but never before the sense of despondency that grips the city today. In 2012 it had more multi-millionaires per 100,000 people than London and the world’s busiest heliport, taking workers to and from the rigs. But the oil-price crash in 2014 drove home the fact that after almost half a century of exploitation, many of Aberdeen’s offshore fields have become too expensive to be sustainable. The number of jobs has plummeted, and some oil producers are on the brink of bankruptcy.
As the world enters what could be the twilight of the oil age, some wonder whether Aberdeen’s travails could be a harbinger of things to come in oil-producing regions across the world. Mr Spence thinks so. He still runs the smartest hotel in Aberdeen and is about to install a charging station for electric vehicles.
Not so fast, say many oil-industry veterans. They accept that high-cost oil regions like Scotland’s North Sea, Canada’s oil sands and the Russian Arctic may be in trouble, but expect at least one more oil boom, born from the ashes of today’s bust, because there has been so little investment in the past two years to open up new sources of supply. Within the next couple of years, they think the market will once again swing from glut to shortage. The biggest beneficiaries will be producers in places with low-cost, abundant oil such as the Middle East, America’s Permian basin, Brazil’s pre-salt fields and parts of west Africa. But although those regions may see a boom in investment, it would be short-lived, because long-term demand is falling and the market could quickly become oversupplied.
