Nova was designed and developed mainly as a 'fun' project with the goal of creating a template engine that was fully written as JavaScript (not JSON), to compliment the current state some apps are at of "Client, Server, Database" using JavaScript.
Nova will let you write templates with the full power of JavaScript and Node.JS, in a format your current IDE or editor already provides Syntax hilighting for!
Almost every other template engine has some unique format to it, in which no-ones editor can provide syntax & highlighting support for. But Nova will be 100% pure JavaScript, letting your editor provide nice features such as syntax checking, syntax hilighting, code completion, source formatting, indentation settings etc.
Nova does not conform to the current day ideology of what a template engine should or should not do. Node provides you the tools to do a job, and lets you do your job however you please.

To install with npm, type `npm install nova` Then in your project `require('nova');`
A template file is treated almost in the same concept of an HTML/XML document, in that it
should have ONE root node. In HTML this is usually always .
Nova uses (in the preffered syntax) a full JavaScript syntax based off of function calls, so a template looks like this:
html ( head ( title ('Hello') ), body ( h1 ('Title'), p ('Page Content') ) )
Nova also supports partial templates, so that means all partials must be wrapped in a container element.
Every template is evaluated on compile time, and the last value returned
at the end of the file is going to be the result of your template.
Similar to how eval works.
So if you have the following:
html( head( title('Hello') ) ) h1()
Only the h1 is going to be returned, because you have 2 sections in your template. Only 1 root node may be at the end of your file, as that will be the result of the compile.
{html:[{args}, [childrennodes]]}
{br:[]}would render as
{span:1}would render as
1
and is equivalent to {span:\[\[1]]}
{div:['Hello', 'to you sir!']}
{div:[['Hello', 'to you sir!']]}
{div:[{span:'Hello'}]}
{div:[[{span:'Hello'}]]}
Nova parses 1 node at a time, and can handle the following types:
Processed as stated above into HTML. Anything passed as a Child Node to the Node is then walked into and processed also.
States that the array contains multiple nodes to process, and will process each item in the array.
span('Hi'), [ span('Hi'), span('Hi'), span('Hi') ], span('Hi'),
Is the same as:
span('Hi'), span('Hi'), span('Hi'), span('Hi'), span('Hi'),
You will not usually directly use arrays in your template, but functions (described next) may return them
Any function in your template is executed ***AT COMPILE TIME!*** The return value of the function will be then inserted into the template for compile.
You may not ever need functions, but they are designed to help save you time in some places.
For example, a static list on a page could be built with a function which just iterates the list building the template syntax for it, instead of you typing the {li:'Data'} for every entry. And because this is done on compile time, this is fully cached to pure HTML and does not affect your template performance.
Anything else is considered to be a text block \(strings, integers, floats, booleans), and calls .toString on the element and adds it as a text block.
HTML Entities such as <, >, and & are replaced with entity tags.
One of the helpers (described below) is a rawString object. Text/strings in the template are expected to be just that, Text blocks for the page. And since strings are properly formatted with white space, that could cause you problems when you expect text to not be formatted.
If you need to add text that will not be formatted \(ie: passing your own HTML), then simply pass it the rawString helper:
div( nova.rawString('') )
This will keep it all on 1 line. Again this is something you probably will not ever need, but it is there incase you do.
Nova provides some utility functions for you to use in the nova variable that is passed to your root template function (refer to Initial Template Structure)
You may call these anywhere you would normally be able to call a plain DOM Node Object.
All known HTML tags according to W3Schools List have a predefined helper function. so an  tag can be written as a() or more accurately, a({href:'url'}, 'Link Text').
If I have missed a tag, please report it, but you can also add your own tags by calling
require('nova').addHTMLTags(arrayOfTags)
where arrayOfTags is like ['fb', 'foo'], which will add an fb() and foo() tag for <fb> and <foo>
the UL and OL tags have been overloaded with Nova to assist in populating a list a little bit easier. If either tag are used in the following formats:
Then nova will use all of the elements of the array as children LI. So
ul([1,2,3,4,5])
will render as

1

2

3

4

5

And
ul({class: 'list', id:'myList'}, [1,2,3,4,5])
will render as

1

2

3

4

5

This is especially useful when processing the results of a function call or a renderVar.
The script tag has also been overloaded to provide rich functionality.
Basic helper:
script(stringUrlToJSFile)
calling with a first param of string will automatically create a
filling out the rest of the attributes for you.
But to even more so help with inline script tags, you may pass a function as the first parameter and optional arguments.
script(function, optionalArrayOfArgs) // or optional args not as array script(function, arg1, arg2, arg3)
When using this syntax, the body of the function is never executed, but instead its SOURCE is copied into the template instead. This lets you write clean inline javascript without having to use string concatenation.
You may also pass data that will be passed to the code on client side, like so:
var config = require('../config'); html ( head ( script (function(siteName, userName) { alert('Hello ' + userName + '! Welcome to ' + siteName + '!'); }, config.siteTitle, renderVars('userName') ) ) )
On the view of the page the users browser would alert('Hello <user>! Welcome to <sitetitle>!') as the is rendered like so:

onRender takes 1 argument, a function. This function will called any time your template is rendered. This is the bread and butter of Dynamic Content in your templates.
The function, when called, is passed 2 parameters. The first being any local variables the business logic of your application has built in order to pass to the template. However, unlike other template engines, since Nova has he ability to render templates async, instead of returning the content in the function, you call the render function passing the content of the function.
For example, in other template engines your code may look like this:
span('Hello ', onRender(function(vars) { return vars.userName; }))
But in Nova, it's ran Async so you need to pass the result to a callback like so:
span('Hello ', onRender(function(vars, render) { render(vars.userName); }))
With this method, you could call some async operation which its callback can call render();
span('Hello ', onRender(function(vars, render) { some.asyncOp(vars.someValue, function(result) { render(result.someValue); }); }))
Now note, even though its async, the visitor will not get the html (from the final callback on the call to .render()), until this op finishes. Other visitors templates can still render in this time though.
***WARNING:*** I strongly encourage you to not use alot async operations in your templates, as under specific circumstances it could cause your template to render slower than it could have. A single async operation on a template render would generally have no impact to the speed of a page load, but multiple at different steps of a render could impact it.
I have some ideas that would fix these specific slowdown conditions, and once its in place then async operations in a render would not hurt your performance at all, and this warning will be removed.
partial is a function that lets you include another template \(a partial template) into the current. Partials will be your main tool into seperating out the different aspects of a template.
Partials may also be used inside onRender functions, so you can dynamically load partials \(ie: different page templates) on render.
Partials also include support for an array as a second argument. If you pass an array, the partial is repeated for each element in the array, and the value of the entry in the array will override any onRender function inside the partial templates renderVars.
For example, you include a partial with `nova.partial('partial', [{foo:'foo'}, {foo:'bar'}]);`
And the partials source is:
span(partialVar('foo'))
and then you render the main template with `template.render('baz')` Then your resulting output will be
foobar
As you see since you passed 2 variables in the array to nova.partial, 2 copies of the template were rendered, and the onRender functions inside the template received the array values instead of the main onRender. However, if you still want to access the MAIN onRender vars instead of the values passed to `nova.partial`, they will be in the third variable of the render function:
nova.onRender(function(partialVars, render, renderVars) {
On non partial renders, the 3rd arg is essentially a duplicate of the first.
This function is as described earlier in the documentation. It simply lets you pass a raw string to Nova that will not be formatted. Useful where you need unmodified data added to your template output.
Benchmarking has been done, and Nova will average under 1 millisecond per render, unless you use async operations in the template.
Due to the ability to run async operations inside of your onRender blocks, its hard to say a definite answer to render time, and considering the number of onRender functions you use, and what things you do in the template can all affect the time.
But based on my own benchmarks, using a template that utilizes some of everything Nova can do, the average render time was 0.4ms.
In other words, it's pretty fast. Compared to other template engines, Nova is nowhere near the top, but I feel the speed it renders is 100% acceptable, and the features and style it provides are interesting.
If your application is slowing down, I'm going to find it really hard to believe that nanosecond optimizations are going to be your solution. In other words, Nova's performance is "More than enough".
Many of those other fast engines are basic and do not give as much flexibility that Nova provides.

An introduction to computer organization and principles of computer design. Topics include digital logic and digital systems, machine level representation of data, instruction sets, CPU implementation, memory system organization, I/O and communication, and assembly language programming. Prerequisite: "C" or better in Computer Science 235.
We will study digital logic, Von Neumann architecture, data representations, the fetch/execute cycle, instruction formats and addressing, machine and assembly language, memory structure, interrupts, and input/output.
By the end of this course, you should be able to:
We will use these web applications this semester (and other):
Moodle. You will submit some some project files in Moodle. Your scores for graded work (quizzes and projects) will be recorded in the Moodle gradebook, too.
We will use two computer applications:
To run these apps, you might need to download and install Java from Java SE Downloads if you have not already installed Java on your computer. Both applications have been installed on the Macs in the Computer Science Lab (Olin 112A). Use one of the lab computers if you can’t run it on your own computer. Be sure you do not leave your files on a lab computer’s storage.
Your grade for the course will be based on a weighted average of scores for homework, tests, projects, and a final exam. The usual grading scale applies: 93–100: A, 90–92: A-, 87–89: B+, 83–86: B, 80–82: B-, 77–79: C+, 73–76: C, 70–72: C-, 60–69: D, 0–59: F.
A final average will be calculated using two methods using weightings shown in the table. The higher of the two values will be mapped to a letter grade. Note: The Moodle Gradebook will reflect Method #1 weightings.
| Component | Weighting #1 | Weighting #2 |
|---|---|---|
| Homework | 25% | 10% |
| Projects | 35% | 35% |
| Tests | 30% | 15% |
| Final exam | 10% | 40% |
| TOTAL | 100% | 100% |
Homework assignments help you to prepare for class. Homework will usually consist of some reading and some exercises. Homework is due before the start of the class meeting for which it was assigned.
You are allowed to use any resources you find useful for completing homework assignments, including working with other students in the class. Your primary goal should be to get a perfect score on every homework assignment so you will be prepared for the next class meeting.
The homework component of the final weighted average is computed using a simple weighted mean of scores: the percentage obtained by dividing the sum of points you earned by the sum of point values for the assignments. For example, let's say there are two assignments, the first worth 15 points and the second worth 25 points. If your score on the first assignment is 9 and your score on the second is 21, then your score for both is (9 + 21) ÷ (15 + 25) = 75%. Note that the result can be different from averaging the percentage scores for the two assignments, ((9 ÷ 15) + (21 ÷ 25)) ÷ 2 = (60% + 84%) ÷ 2 = 72%.
You will take two tests. The first, on October 12, will cover up through sequential logic. The second, on November 11, will cover up through machine language and computer architecture.
You may bring an index card, maximum size 6"×9", containing handwritten notes to each test.
Projects play a central role in this course and comprise 35% of your final grade. It is important to complete each project successfully and working on your own.
The final exam is comprehensive, covering the material on the first and second tests as well as material covered after the second test. The objective of the final exam is to assess how well you achieved the objectives for the course.
You may bring an index card, maximum size 6"×9", containing handwritten notes to the final exam.
Most class meetings will start with a brief review of the homework assignment and continue with discussions and/or exercises based on what has been covered so far. Some in-class exercises will require you to work on a laptop computer or work with another student in the class. You may have a laptop computer open on your desk only if I direct you to use it. Most projects will be started during a class meeting.
You are encouraged to take copious notes during class. Take handwritten notes on paper or on a tablet.
Handwritten notes engage more of the senses. The brain is more active, so the learning process is enhanced. This is actually part of an area of study called “haptics.” Researchers in this arena are studying the way our minds and bodies interact in the learning process.
It’s the “tactile” or “kinesthetic” learning idea in action. The more physically active you are, including taking handwritten notes, the more likely you are to remember information well.
You are expected to attend class meetings. The Class Attendance Policies described in the Wofford College Student Handbook (pp. 81ff) makes you responsible for catching up on missed classes. I suggest you find a "buddy" from whom you can get notes in the event you are absent. I will post links to handouts in Piazza.
Do not attend class if you are not feeling well and might have a contagious illness. Seek medical attention at the Wellness Center. A doctor's note concerning absences is not required.
The final exam period is scheduled for 2:00-5:00 P.M. on Tuesday, December 14, 2021. You must be present for the exam.
You are expected to complete all assigned work on time.
I understand that sometimes you must miss a class, a test, or a project or homework deadline. As long as such occurrences are not excessive, I will work with you as best I can to help you succeed in the course.
You must meet homework and project deadlines. To submit your work late, you must contact me no later than 2:00 P.M the day before the deadline to request an extension. Your request must indicate how much more time you need. I will still expect you to submit by the deadline the work you have completed so far even if you are given an extension. If you do not hear back from me, assume you have an extension.
All questions about coursework, including about projects, must be posted at the Piazza Q&A page. If you send me a question via email or via private post that should be posted publicly at Piazza, I will direct you to post your question publicly. After you post it publicly, I will reply to the question.
Do not post working code at Piazza. Do not include in a response either “fixed” code or a detailed description of how to change code to get it to work. It is acceptable to post non-working code.
Feel free to respond to a question or to edit a response to a question. We are all learning together.
Note: Anonymous Piazza posts are anonymous to classmates but not to me.
It is appropriate to send me email messages for private matters, such as letting me know you will be absent or that you’d like to schedule a meeting.
I usually respond to email messages sent Sunday through Thursday within 24 hours and within 48 hours when sent on a Friday or a Saturday. I usually respond much sooner to Piazza posts since I have the Piazza app on my phone and receive notifications.
The Honor Code requires faculty, staff, and students to maintain a high standard of individual honor and integrity. Work represented as your own must be your own.
I encourage you to help others in the class or get help from others on projects. However, you may not write code for another student or provide code to copy. Conversely, you may not get code from another student. Doing any of these things is a violation of the Honor Code.
There is a distinction between collaborating and cheating.
When collaborating,
Ultimately, you must implement a solution to the problem yourself.
On the other hand, cheating occurs when
For some projects, you might be given an option to work with one other student in the class. In this case, you are allowed to share all your work with your teammate. However, you are expected to do all of the work together. One student should not work without the other present. However, one of you may meet with me without the other being present.
Don’t cheat because you are up against a deadline. Manage your time effectively. Start each assignment as soon as it is given. If you run into a glitch:
It is the policy and practice of Wofford College to create an inclusive and accessible learning environment. This course is intended for all students, including those with mental or physical disabilities, illness, injuries, impairments, or any other condition that tends to negatively affect one’s equal access to education.
If you have not yet established services through Accessibility Services, but have a temporary health condition or permanent disability that keeps you from fully accessing the space, content, and experience of this course, you are welcome (but not required) to visit the Accessibility Services Accomodations channel in my.wofford.
If you have already established accommodations with Accessibility Services, please communicate your approved accommodations to me at your earliest convenience so we can discuss your needs in this course.
This is the plan for the semester. It is subject to change, although I will do everything I can to stay on schedule.
If the schedule shows a chapter for a class meeting, then you should have read that chapter and completed any homework associated with that chapter before the start of the class meeting on that date. If the schedule shows a project, then we will spend at least part of the class meeting on that date getting started on that project.

Some employers may also pay part or all of the employee's 3.33% share due to a union contract or other agreement between employer and employee.


Even though it is a bit more trouble to set up, large-scale production usage will probably prefer to use this approach, over the shared single database described above.
For our zope.conf, we only need one additional stanza to the one seen above:
<zodb async> <filestorage> create true path REPLACE_THIS_WITH_PATH_TO_STORAGE </filestorage> </zodb>
(You would replace “REPLACE_THIS_WITH_PATH_TO_STORAGE” with the path to the storage file.)
As before, you will probably prefer to use ZEO rather than FileStorage in production.
The zdaemon.conf instructions are the same: set the ZC_ASYNC_UUID environment variable properly in the zdaemon.conf file.
For our site.zcml, the only difference is that we use the multidb_dispatcher_policy.zcml file rather than the basic_dispatcher_policy.zcml file.
If you want to change policy, change “multidb_dispatcher_policy.zcml” to “dispatcher.zcml” in the example above and register your replacement bits for the policy in “multidb_dispatcher_policy.zcml”. You’ll see that most of that comes from code in subscribers.py, which can be adjusted easily.
If we process the files described above, and wait for a poll, we’ve got a working set up [1].
>>> import zc.async.dispatcher
>>> dispatcher = zc.async.dispatcher.get()
>>> import pprint
>>> pprint.pprint(get_poll(dispatcher, 0))
{'': {'main': {'active jobs': [],
'error': None,
'len': 0,
'new jobs': [],
'size': 3}}}
>>> bool(dispatcher.activated)
True
As before, we can ask for a job to be performed, and get the result.
>>> conn = db.open()
>>> root = conn.root()
>>> import zc.async.interfaces
>>> queue = zc.async.interfaces.IQueue(root)
>>> import operator
>>> import zc.async.job
>>> job = queue.put(zc.async.job.Job(operator.mul, 21, 2))
>>> import transaction
>>> transaction.commit()
>>> wait_for_result(job)
42
Hopefully zc.async will be an easy-to-configure, easy-to-use, and useful tool for you! Good luck! [2]

How the Phone System Works in Peru
If you are in Peru for an extended amount of time, you might consider buying a phone to keep in contact with friends, family, and/or businesses either inside or outside of the country. For someone who is not used to the phone system, it can be a bit confusing at first. Below is a guide of how to dial numbers, should the need arise during your visit.
| Mobile-to-Mobile within Peru |
| Dial the 9-digit phone number (should start with a nine).
Ex: 987-654-321 |
| Mobile-to-Landline within Peru |
| Dial 0, the region's code (Lambayeque is 74), then the number. Ex: 074-654-321 |
| Landline-to-Mobile within Peru |
| Dial the 9 digit phone number. Ex: 987-654-321 |
| Landline-to-Landline within Peru |
| If you are calling someone within the region, just dial the number. If you are calling someone outside of the region, dial a 0, the region's code (Lambayeque's is 74), then the number. Ex: 074-654-321 |
| Peru Landline from Another Country |
| Dial 51, the region code, then the number. Ex: 51- 74- 65-4321 |
| Peru Mobile from Another Country |
| Some countries require an "exit code" when calling a cell phone internationally, so you will need to check this before calling (the US is 011). Dial the exit code, if required, then 51, and the 9-digit number. Ex: 011-51-987-654-321 |
| Calling Internationally from Peru |
| This is a bit more complicated, as it depends what country you are calling, what phone provider you have, what plan you have, etc. You may want to check into this before leaving. If you have a "smart phone", some good ways to keep in contact with friends or family during your trip without having to purchase an international plan is the application "Viber" (only requires Wifi and the other person to also have the app), MagicJack, Skype, etc. You can usually get free Wifi at Starbucks (located in the food court of Real Plaza in Chiclayo). |
| Purchasing a Phone |
| If you are traveling for an extended period of time and will need to be communicating a lot, you may want to consider purchasing a cell phone. The two big phone providers in Peru are Claro and MoviStar. They have stores and kiosks all over the place, and you can easily pick up a "to go phone" of sorts. Adding minutes as you go, this is a good alternative to purchasing an international plan if most of your calls will be within Peru. |


Node.js: fs-extra
fs-extra
adds file system methods that aren't included in the native fs
module and adds promise support to the fs
methods. It should be a drop in replacement for fs
.
Why?
I got tired of including mkdirp
, rimraf
, and ncp
in most of my projects.
Installation
npm install --save fs-extra
Usage
fs-extra
is a drop in replacement for native fs
. All methods in fs
are attached to fs-extra
. All fs
methods return promises if the callback isn't passed.
You don't ever need to include the original fs
module again:
const fs = require('fs') // this is no longer necessary
you can now do this:
const fs = require('fs-extra')
or if you prefer to make it clear that you're using fs-extra
and not fs
, you may want
to name your fs
variable fse
like so:
const fse = require('fs-extra')
you can also keep both, but it's redundant:
const fs = require('fs')
const fse = require('fs-extra')
Sync vs Async
Most methods are async by default. All async methods will return a promise if the callback isn't passed.
Sync methods on the other hand will throw if an error occurs.
Example:
const fs = require('fs-extra')
// Async with promises:
fs.copy('/tmp/myfile', '/tmp/mynewfile')
.then(() => console.log('success!'))
.catch(err => console.error(err))
// Async with callbacks:
fs.copy('/tmp/myfile', '/tmp/mynewfile', err => {
if (err) return console.error(err)
console.log('success!')
})
// Sync:
try {
fs.copySync('/tmp/myfile', '/tmp/mynewfile')
console.log('success!')
} catch (err) {
console.error(err)
}
Methods
Async
- copy
- emptyDir
- ensureFile
- ensureDir
- ensureLink
- ensureSymlink
- mkdirs
- move
- outputFile
- outputJson
- pathExists
- readJson
- remove
- writeJson
Sync
- copySync
- emptyDirSync
- ensureFileSync
- ensureDirSync
- ensureLinkSync
- ensureSymlinkSync
- mkdirsSync
- moveSync
- outputFileSync
- outputJsonSync
- pathExistsSync
- readJsonSync
- removeSync
- writeJsonSync
NOTE: You can still use the native Node.js methods. They are promisified and copied over to fs-extra
. See notes on fs.read()
& fs.write()
What happened to walk()
and walkSync()
?
They were removed from fs-extra
in v2.0.0. If you need the functionality, walk
and walkSync
are available as separate packages, klaw
and klaw-sync
.
Third Party
TypeScript
If you like TypeScript, you can use fs-extra
with it: https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped/tree/master/types/fs-extra
File / Directory Watching
If you want to watch for changes to files or directories, then you should use chokidar.
Misc.
- mfs - Monitor your fs-extra calls.
Hacking on fs-extra
Wanna hack on fs-extra
? Great! Your help is needed! fs-extra is one of the most depended upon Node.js packages. This project
uses JavaScript Standard Style - if the name or style choices bother you,
you're gonna have to get over it :) If standard
is good enough for npm
, it's good enough for fs-extra
.
What's needed? - First, take a look at existing issues. Those are probably going to be where the priority lies. - More tests for edge cases. Specifically on different platforms. There can never be enough tests. - Improve test coverage. See coveralls output for more info.
Note: If you make any big changes, you should definitely file an issue for discussion first.
Running the Test Suite
fs-extra contains hundreds of tests.
npm run lint
: runs the linter (standard)npm run unit
: runs the unit testsnpm test
: runs both the linter and the tests
Windows
If you run the tests on the Windows and receive a lot of symbolic link EPERM
permission errors, it's
because on Windows you need elevated privilege to create symbolic links. You can add this to your Windows's
account by following the instructions here: http://superuser.com/questions/104845/permission-to-make-symbolic-links-in-windows-7
However, I didn't have much luck doing this.
Since I develop on Mac OS X, I use VMWare Fusion for Windows testing. I create a shared folder that I map to a drive on Windows.
I open the Node.js command prompt
and run as Administrator
. I then map the network drive running the following command:
net use z: "\\vmware-host\Shared Folders"
I can then navigate to my fs-extra
directory and run the tests.
Naming
I put a lot of thought into the naming of these functions. Inspired by @coolaj86's request. So he deserves much of the credit for raising the issue. See discussion(s) here:
- https://github.com/jprichardson/node-fs-extra/issues/2
- https://github.com/flatiron/utile/issues/11
- https://github.com/ryanmcgrath/wrench-js/issues/29
- https://github.com/substack/node-mkdirp/issues/17
First, I believe that in as many cases as possible, the Node.js naming schemes should be chosen. However, there are problems with the Node.js own naming schemes.
For example, fs.readFile()
and fs.readdir()
: the F is capitalized in File and the d is not capitalized in dir. Perhaps a bit pedantic, but they should still be consistent. Also, Node.js has chosen a lot of POSIX naming schemes, which I believe is great. See: fs.mkdir()
, fs.rmdir()
, fs.chown()
, etc.
We have a dilemma though. How do you consistently name methods that perform the following POSIX commands: cp
, cp -r
, mkdir -p
, and rm -rf
?
My perspective: when in doubt, err on the side of simplicity. A directory is just a hierarchical grouping of directories and files. Consider that for a moment. So when you want to copy it or remove it, in most cases you'll want to copy or remove all of its contents. When you want to create a directory, if the directory that it's suppose to be contained in does not exist, then in most cases you'll want to create that too.
So, if you want to remove a file or a directory regardless of whether it has contents, just call fs.remove(path)
. If you want to copy a file or a directory whether it has contents, just call fs.copy(source, destination)
. If you want to create a directory regardless of whether its parent directories exist, just call fs.mkdirs(path)
or fs.mkdirp(path)
.

If you're lookin for basic BBcode tags, try here.
The more advanced BBcode tags available on this forum all involve embedding various types of media from various web resources directly into a post. Each type of media's tag has a very similar format with slightly different details.
In general, the media tags work like this: [example]...[/example]. The details for what replaces the "..." in each tag can be found below as examples. Usually, the "..." will be replaced by a URI pointing to the media in question.
Due to the vastly differing nature of those URIs and the inherent unstable availabilty of the resources they point to on the Web, the rest of this document will display example URIs and how they should appear in their tags, but will not display the resulting embedded media.
Example:
[mp3]http://www.example.com/files/example.mp3[/mp3]
Example:
[atomfilms]http://www.atomfilms.com/film/example-video.jsp?channelKeyword=channel_example_videos[/atomfilms]
Notes:
You can simply cut-n-paste the URL for the video (on Atom Films' website) that you want to embed directly from your browser's address bar into the [atomfilms] tags.
Example:
[collegehumor]http://www.collegehumor.com/video:XXXXXXX[/collegehumor]
Notes:
You can simply cut-n-paste the URL for the video (on College Humor's website) that you want to embed directly from your browser's address bar into the [collegehumor] tags. In the example, the 'X's would be replaced with numbers.
Example:
[commedycentral]http://www.comedycentral.com/motherload/index.jhtml?ml_video=XXXXX&title=example[/commedycentral]
Notes:
A small modification needs to be made to the URL you cut-n-paste from the Comedy Central website to make this tag work. As an example, here is a (contrived) URL that might be found on the site:
http://www.comedycentral.com/videos/index.jhtml?videoId=XXXXX&title=example
That URL would need to be changed to read:
http://www.comedycentral.com/motherload/index.jhtml?ml_video=XXXXX&title=example
The URL can be found in the address bar of your browser while you are viewing the video you want to embed. Also, the 'X's in the example above would be replaced with numbers.
Example:
[flash]http://www.example.com/flash/example.swf[/flash]
Example:
[flickr]http://www.flickr.com/photos/example/XXXXXXXXXX/[/flickr]
Notes:
The URL can be found in the address bar of your browser while you are viewing the video you want to embed. Also, the 'X's in the example above would be replaced with numbers.
Example:
[funnyordie]http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/AXAXXXXAXA[/funnyordie]
Notes:
The URL can be found in the address bar of your browser while you are viewing the video you want to embed. Also, the 'X's in the example above would be replaced with numbers. Similarly, the 'A's would be replaced with letters.
Example:
[gametrailers]http://www.gametrailers.com/player/XXXXX.html[/gametrailers]
Notes:
The URL can be found in the address bar of your browser while you are viewing the video you want to embed. Also, the 'X's in the example above would be replaced with numbers.
Example:
[googlevid]http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX[/googlevid]
Notes:
The URL can be found in the address bar of your browser while you are viewing the video you want to embed. Also, the 'X's in the example above would be replaced with numbers.
Example:
[metacafe]http://www.metacafe.com/watch/XXXXXXX/example/[/metacafe]
Notes:
The URL can be found in the address bar of your browser while you are viewing the video you want to embed. Also, the 'X's in the example above would be replaced with numbers.
Example:
[myspacetv]http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&VideoID=XXXXXXX[/myspacetv]
Notes:
The URL can be found in the address bar of your browser while you are viewing the video you want to embed. Also, the 'X's in the example above would be replaced with numbers.
Example:
[revver]http://www.revver.com/watch/XXXXX/example/[/revver]
Notes:
The URL can be found in the address bar of your browser while you are viewing the video you want to embed. Also, the 'X's in the example above would be replaced with numbers.
Example:
[slideshare id=XXXXXX&doc=example-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX-X&w=XXX]
Notes:
The [slideshare] tag is different than most of the other tags in that no closing tag is used. When you are viewing the slideshow you want to embed in your browser, to the far right of the slideshow you will find a text box labeled: "Embed (Wordpress)". Cut-n-paste the details in that text box directly and exactly into your post.
Example:
[superdeluxe]http://www.superdeluxe.com/sd/contentDetail.do?id=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX[/superdeluxe]
Notes:
The URL can be found in the address bar of your browser while you are viewing the video you want to embed. Also, the 'X's in the example above would be replaced with numbers and/or letters.
Example:
[vimeo]http://www.vimeo.com/XXXXX[/vimeo]
Notes:
The URL can be found in the address bar of your browser while you are viewing the video you want to embed. Also, the 'X's in the example above would be replaced with numbers.
Example:
[yahoovid]http://video.yahoo.com/watch/XXXXXXX/XXXXXXX[/yahoovid]
Notes:
The URL can be found in the address bar of your browser while you are viewing the video you want to embed. Also, the 'X's in the example above would be replaced with numbers.
Example:
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXXXXXXXXXX&feature=XXXXX[/youtube]
Notes:
The URL can be found in the address bar of your browser while you are viewing the video you want to embed. Also, the 'X's in the example above would be replaced with numbers and/or letters.

Participants will be given a set of questions which will check their knowledge of basic
Hardware and basic network. This will be an online test.
Qualification for the next round will be based on ranking or cutoff marks.
Approx Time: - 1 hour
Round 2: - Biding and Selling
In this round, teams will be given some credits based on which they will have to bid for different hardware components so that they can make the best possible combination of component assembly.
The team making best assembly will advance for the next round.
Approx Time: - 3-4 hour
Round 3: - The Treasure hunt
This is the final round. In this round a treasure will be conducted where the teams will be given some clues based on which they have to crack the location and there they will get another clue for the next place. At last participants will have assembled hardware components and team doing it first will win.
Approx Time: - 3-4 hour

Since content scripts run in the context of a web page and not the extension, they often need some way of communicating with the rest of the extension. For example, an RSS reader extension might use content scripts to detect the presence of an RSS feed on a page, then notify the background page in order to display a page action icon for that page.
Communication between extensions and their content scripts works by using message passing. Either side can listen for messages sent from the other end, and respond on the same channel. A message can contain any valid JSON object (null, boolean, number, string, array, or object). There is a simple API for one-time requests and a more complex API that allows you to have long-lived connections for exchanging multiple messages with a shared context. It is also possible to send a message to another extension if you know its ID, which is covered in the cross-extension messages section.
If you only need to send a single message to another part of your extension (and optionally get a response back), you should use the simplified $(ref:runtime.sendMessage) {{^is_apps}} or $(ref:tabs.sendMessage) {{/is_apps}}. This lets you send a one-time JSON-serializable message from a content script to extension {{^is_apps}} , or vice versa, respectively {{/is_apps}}. An optional callback parameter allows you handle the response from the other side, if there is one.
Sending a request from a content script looks like this:
chrome.runtime.sendMessage({greeting: "hello"}, function(response) { console.log(response.farewell); });
Sending a request from the extension to a content script looks very similar, except that you need to specify which tab to send it to. This example demonstrates sending a message to the content script in the selected tab.
chrome.tabs.query({active: true, currentWindow: true}, function(tabs) { chrome.tabs.sendMessage(tabs[0].id, {greeting: "hello"}, function(response) { console.log(response.farewell); }); });
On the receiving end, you need to set up an $(ref:runtime.onMessage) event listener to handle the message. This looks the same from a content script or extension page.
chrome.runtime.onMessage.addListener( function(request, sender, sendResponse) { console.log(sender.tab ? "from a content script:" + sender.tab.url : "from the extension"); if (request.greeting == "hello") sendResponse({farewell: "goodbye"}); });In the above example,
sendResponse
was called synchronously.
If you want to asynchronously use sendResponse
, add
return true;
to the onMessage
event handler.
Note: If multiple pages are listening for onMessage events, only the first to call sendResponse() for a particular event will succeed in sending the response. All other responses to that event will be ignored.
Note: The sendResponse
callback is only valid if used
synchronously, or if the event handler returns true
to indicate
that it will respond asynchronously. The sendMessage
function's
callback will be invoked automatically if no handlers return true or if the
sendResponse
callback is garbage-collected.
Sometimes it's useful to have a conversation that lasts longer than a single request and response. In this case, you can open a long-lived channel from your content script to an extension page {{^is_apps}} , or vice versa, {{/is_apps}} using $(ref:runtime.connect) {{^is_apps}} or $(ref:tabs.connect), respectively {{/is_apps}}. The channel can optionally have a name, allowing you to distinguish between different types of connections.
One use case might be an automatic form fill extension. The content script could open a channel to the extension page for a particular login, and send a message to the extension for each input element on the page to request the form data to fill in. The shared connection allows the extension to keep shared state linking the several messages coming from the content script.
When establishing a connection, each end is given a $(ref:runtime.Port) object which is used for sending and receiving messages through that connection.
Here is how you open a channel from a content script, and send and listen for messages:
var port = chrome.runtime.connect({name: "knockknock"}); port.postMessage({joke: "Knock knock"}); port.onMessage.addListener(function(msg) { if (msg.question == "Who's there?") port.postMessage({answer: "Madame"}); else if (msg.question == "Madame who?") port.postMessage({answer: "Madame... Bovary"}); });{{^is_apps}}
Sending a request from the extension to a content script looks very similar, except that you need to specify which tab to connect to. Simply replace the call to connect in the above example with $(ref:tabs.connect). {{/is_apps}}
In order to handle incoming connections, you need to set up a $(ref:runtime.onConnect) event listener. This looks the same from a content script or an extension page. When another part of your extension calls "connect()", this event is fired, along with the $(ref:runtime.Port) object you can use to send and receive messages through the connection. Here's what it looks like to respond to incoming connections:
chrome.runtime.onConnect.addListener(function(port) { console.assert(port.name == "knockknock"); port.onMessage.addListener(function(msg) { if (msg.joke == "Knock knock") port.postMessage({question: "Who's there?"}); else if (msg.answer == "Madame") port.postMessage({question: "Madame who?"}); else if (msg.answer == "Madame... Bovary") port.postMessage({question: "I don't get it."}); }); });
Ports are designed as a two-way communication method between different parts of
the extension, where a (top-level) frame is viewed as the smallest part.
Upon calling $(ref:tabs.connect), $(ref:runtime.connect) or
$(ref:runtime.connectNative), a $(ref:runtime.Port Port) is created.
This port can immediately be used for sending messages to the other end via
$(ref:runtime.Port.postMessage postMessage).
If there are multiple frames in a tab, calling $(ref:tabs.connect) results in multiple invocations of the $(ref:runtime.onConnect) event (once for each frame in the tab). Similarly, if $(ref:runtime.connect) is used, then the onConnect event may be fired multiple times (once for every frame in the extension process).
You may want to find out when a connection is closed, for example if you are maintaining separate state for each open port. For this you can listen to the $(ref:runtime.Port.onDisconnect) event. This event is fired when there are no valid ports at the other side of the channel. This happens in the following situations:
connect
was called has unloaded.
connect
call results in multiple ports at the
receiver's end, and disconnect()
is called on any of these
ports, then the onDisconnect
event is only fired at the port
of the sender, and not at the other ports.
In addition to sending messages between different components in your extension, you can use the messaging API to communicate with other extensions. This lets you expose a public API that other extensions can take advantage of.
Listening for incoming requests and connections is similar to the internal case, except you use the $(ref:runtime.onMessageExternal) or $(ref:runtime.onConnectExternal) methods. Here's an example of each:
// For simple requests: chrome.runtime.onMessageExternal.addListener( function(request, sender, sendResponse) { if (sender.id == blocklistedExtension) return; // don't allow this extension access else if (request.getTargetData) sendResponse({targetData: targetData}); else if (request.activateLasers) { var success = activateLasers(); sendResponse({activateLasers: success}); } }); // For long-lived connections: chrome.runtime.onConnectExternal.addListener(function(port) { port.onMessage.addListener(function(msg) { // See other examples for sample onMessage handlers. }); });
Likewise, sending a message to another extension is similar to sending one within your extension. The only difference is that you must pass the ID of the extension you want to communicate with. For example:
// The ID of the extension we want to talk to. var laserExtensionId = "abcdefghijklmnoabcdefhijklmnoabc"; // Make a simple request: chrome.runtime.sendMessage(laserExtensionId, {getTargetData: true}, function(response) { if (targetInRange(response.targetData)) chrome.runtime.sendMessage(laserExtensionId, {activateLasers: true}); }); // Start a long-running conversation: var port = chrome.runtime.connect(laserExtensionId); port.postMessage(...);
Similar to cross-extension messaging, your app or extension can receive and respond to messages from regular web pages. To use this feature, you must first specify in your manifest.json which web sites you want to communicate with. For example:
"externally_connectable": { "matches": ["*://*.example.com/*"] }
This will expose the messaging API to any page which matches the URL patterns you specify. The URL pattern must contain at least a second-level domain - that is, hostname patterns like "*", "*.com", "*.co.uk", and "*.appspot.com" are prohibited. From the web page, use the $(ref:runtime.sendMessage) or $(ref:runtime.connect) APIs to send a message to a specific app or extension. For example:
// The ID of the extension we want to talk to. var editorExtensionId = "abcdefghijklmnoabcdefhijklmnoabc"; // Make a simple request: chrome.runtime.sendMessage(editorExtensionId, {openUrlInEditor: url}, function(response) { if (!response.success) handleError(url); });
From your app or extension, you may listen to messages from web pages via the $(ref:runtime.onMessageExternal) or $(ref:runtime.onConnectExternal) APIs, similar to cross-extension messaging. Only the web page can initiate a connection. Here is an example:
chrome.runtime.onMessageExternal.addListener( function(request, sender, sendResponse) { if (sender.url == blocklistedWebsite) return; // don't allow this web page access if (request.openUrlInEditor) openUrl(request.openUrlInEditor); });
Extensions and apps can exchange messages with native applications that are registered as a native messaging host. To learn more about this feature, see Native messaging.
When receiving a message from a content script or another extension, your background page should be careful not to fall victim to cross-site scripting. Specifically, avoid using dangerous APIs such as the below:
chrome.tabs.sendMessage(tab.id, {greeting: "hello"}, function(response) { // WARNING! Might be evaluating an evil script! var resp = eval("(" + response.farewell + ")"); });
chrome.tabs.sendMessage(tab.id, {greeting: "hello"}, function(response) { // WARNING! Might be injecting a malicious script! document.getElementById("resp").innerHTML = response.farewell; });
Instead, prefer safer APIs that do not run scripts:
chrome.tabs.sendMessage(tab.id, {greeting: "hello"}, function(response) { // JSON.parse does not evaluate the attacker's scripts. var resp = JSON.parse(response.farewell); });
chrome.tabs.sendMessage(tab.id, {greeting: "hello"}, function(response) { // innerText does not let the attacker inject HTML elements. document.getElementById("resp").innerText = response.farewell; });
You can find simple examples of communication via messages in the examples/api/messaging directory. The native messaging sample demonstrates how a Chrome app can communicate with a native app. For more examples and for help in viewing the source code, see Samples.


This sample demonstrates the use of the Shell Data Set. The Shell Data Set can be bound to a region like any other data set, but its purpose is to serve as a placeholder for other data sets so that developers can "hot swap" them.
The example below demonstrates the hot swapping of an HTML Data Set with an XML Data Set. The first panel uses the HTML data set (ds1). The second panel uses a XML data set (ds2). The table is a detail region bound to the data set shell (dsShell).
Each accordion tab has on onclick event that changes the data set shell value. That allows the singe detail region to share data sets.

In the middle of winter driving up through Keystone, Colorado at around 3am to avoid traffic I got caught by a blizzard. While I tried stopping my mustang after miscalculating a turn, I narrowly avoided falling off a mountain by a matter of roughly 10 feet. If it weren't for the power of the mustang;s acceleration I'd be a goner.
I love the smokey mountains and so do the bears. While hiking in the early morning I got this unusal feeling of somebody or in this case something watching me. I turn around and I see a brown bear, I turned facing it and kept walking backwards away from it and luckily it lost interest, phew.
While in Sweeden I saw a mountain and a tram on rails going up to it. Turns out it was a nice but cold spring day and I decided to take the tram up there. After a long day I decided to take a nap and I wake up at sunset only to noice the tram is no longer in service until 10am the next morning. One of the coldest nights I've slept through.
Back when I lived in Clearwater I was just taking a morning kayak trip on Treasure Island when suddenly I feel a bump on my kayak. I thought it was a dolphin or manatee as I normally see until I see the dreaded fin you see in movies. I don't think I ever kayaked faster in my life!

Run NGC container in Windows 11
I’m a big server Linux fan and have used laptop macOS for over 10 years now for its unix like shell. Windows has now the famous Windows Subsystem for Linux, time to give it a shot! Furthermore, I want also escape Docker Desktop fees… Let’s try something fancy.
First step is to activate WSL on your Win11 box. So, to do that you need to enable 2 features like below:
Followed in command prompt: wsl --install --distribution Ubuntu-20.04
To run containers, we need to install podman. It’s a free open source docker engine alternative. If you hope to use docker-ce in wsl you wrong, it needs Docker Desktop that is not free if you’re working for large enterprise.
Within WSL shell:
# source /etc/os-release
# sh -c "echo 'deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/kubic:/libcontainers:/stable/xUbuntu_${VERSION_ID}/ /' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/devel:kubic:libcontainers:stable.list"
# wget -nv https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:kubic:libcontainers:stable/xUbuntu_${VERSION_ID}/Release.key -O- | apt-key add -
# apt-get update -qq -y
# apt-get -qq --yes install podman
# podman version
You should get:
You have to set default registry:
# echo 'unqualified-search-registries = ["docker.io"]' | sudo tee /etc/containers/registries.conf
Verify that nvidia driver is working propely: # nvidia-smi
, you should get something like:
Install nvidia-container-toolkit (cf. https://github.com/henrymai/podman_wsl2_cuda_rootless )
Modify file /etc/nvidia-container-runtime/config.toml
like this:
disable-require = false
#swarm-resource = "DOCKER_RESOURCE_GPU"
#accept-nvidia-visible-devices-envvar-when-unprivileged = true
#accept-nvidia-visible-devices-as-volume-mounts = false
[nvidia-container-cli]
#root = "/run/nvidia/driver"
#path = "/usr/bin/nvidia-container-cli"
environment = []
#debug = "/var/log/nvidia-container-toolkit.log"
#ldcache = "/etc/ld.so.cache"
load-kmods = true
#no-cgroups = false
no-cgroups = true
#user = "root:video"
ldconfig =<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[nvidia-container-runtime]
#debug = "/var/log/nvidia-container-runtime.log"
debug = "~/.local/nvidia-container-runtime.log"
log-level = "info"
# Specify the runtimes to consider. This list is processed in order and the PATH
# searched for matching executables unless the entry is an absolute path.
runtimes = [
"docker-runc",
"runc",
]
mode = "auto"
[nvidia-container-runtime.modes.csv]
mount-spec-path = "/etc/nvidia-container-runtime/host-files-for-container.d"
Configure hook with this lines:
Configure hook
sudo -i
mkdir -p /usr/share/containers/oci/hooks.d/
cat << EOF | sudo tee /usr/share/containers/oci/hooks.d/oci-nvidia-hook.json
{
"version": "1.0.0",
"hook": {
"path": "/usr/bin/nvidia-container-toolkit",
"args": ["nvidia-container-toolkit", "prestart"],
"env": [
"PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin"
]
},
"when": {
"always": true,
"commands": [".*"]
},
"stages": ["prestart"]
}
EOF
Last step for configuration is to increase limits defined in /etc/security/limits.conf
like below, replace [your-user]
by what returns whoami
:
[your-user] soft memlock unlimited
[your-user] hard memlock unlimited
[your-user] soft stack 65536
[your-user] hard stack 65536
If you not yet familiar with that is NGC, it’s time to visite NGC Catalog and the getting started. Create your account and install ngc cli.
Let’s try this example.
Launch example with: podman run -it --gpus all -p 8888:8888 -v $PWD:/projects --network=host nvcr.io/nvidia/tensorflow:20.08-tf1-py3
and follow jupyter notebook. You should able to run example:
Conclusion:
- podman on wsl works great
- with ngc container running localy, it’s easy to learn and test ML/AI topics
- first step before to work with large scale environnement like Base Command

This reproducible R Markdown analysis was created with workflowr (version 1.6.0). The Checks tab describes the reproducibility checks that were applied when the results were created. The Past versions tab lists the development history.
The R Markdown file has unstaged changes. To know which version of the R Markdown file created these results, you’ll want to first commit it to the Git repo. If you’re still working on the analysis, you can ignore this warning. When you’re finished, you can run wflow_publish
to commit the R Markdown file and build the HTML.
Great job! The global environment was empty. Objects defined in the global environment can affect the analysis in your R Markdown file in unknown ways. For reproduciblity it’s best to always run the code in an empty environment.
The command set.seed(20200105)
was run prior to running the code in the R Markdown file. Setting a seed ensures that any results that rely on randomness, e.g. subsampling or permutations, are reproducible.
Great job! Recording the operating system, R version, and package versions is critical for reproducibility.
Nice! There were no cached chunks for this analysis, so you can be confident that you successfully produced the results during this run.
Great job! Using relative paths to the files within your workflowr project makes it easier to run your code on other machines.
Great! You are using Git for version control. Tracking code development and connecting the code version to the results is critical for reproducibility. The version displayed above was the version of the Git repository at the time these results were generated.
Note that you need to be careful to ensure that all relevant files for the analysis have been committed to Git prior to generating the results (you can use wflow_publish
or wflow_git_commit
). workflowr only checks the R Markdown file, but you know if there are other scripts or data files that it depends on. Below is the status of the Git repository when the results were generated:
Ignored files:
Ignored: .Rhistory
Ignored: .Rproj.user/
Unstaged changes:
Modified: analysis/ldsc_tutorial.Rmd
Note that any generated files, e.g. HTML, png, CSS, etc., are not included in this status report because it is ok for generated content to have uncommitted changes.
These are the previous versions of the R Markdown and HTML files. If you’ve configured a remote Git repository (see ?wflow_git_remote
), click on the hyperlinks in the table below to view them.

\[ \newcommand{\E}{\text{E}} \]
This is a minial tutorial on using ldsc
for LDSC regression. Before hands-on stuff, let’s take a quick recap on what LDSC regression is doing and what kind of input files are required for a minimal LDSC regression analysis.
Under polygenic model, B. K. Bulik-Sullivan et al. (2015) proposed
\[\begin{aligned} \E[\chi_j^2 | l_j] = N\frac{h^2}{M} l_j + Na + 1 \end{aligned}\] , where \(\chi^2\) is GWAS summary statistics, \(N\) is sample size, \(h^2\) is heritability, and \(M\) is the number of common variants we are considering for contributing to heritability. More importantly, this relationship holds for each SNP \(j\). And \(l_j\) is called LD score for SNP \(j\), which is defined as \(l_j := \sum_k r_{jk}^2\) where \(r_{jk}^2\) is the LD between SNP \(j\) and \(k\). So, we could notice that \(l_j\) is population-specific and it does not depend on the trait.
OK, essentially, to regress \(\chi_j^2\) against \(l_j\), we need to know:
From here we can conclude a general workflow for LDSC regression:
As minimal tutorial, we won’t touch on how to prepare LDSC files by yourselves. For your interest, you can take a look at link for this task.
If you don’t have conda
installed on your machine, please install it from here before proceeding. Then, go to ldsc
GitHub repository and follow the instruction.
# assuming you've installed conda
cd [your-working-dir]
mkdir software
cd software
git clone https://github.com/bulik/ldsc.git
cd ldsc
conda env create --file environment.yml
source activate ldsc
LDSC developers pre-computed LD scores for Europeans and East Asians. They are available at here. For this tutorial, we will work with European GWAS. So, we can simply use the one suggested here. These LDSC files are obtained from 1000G Europeans with HapMap3 SNPs.
So, we can do
cd [your-working-dir]
mkdir data
cd data
wget https://data.broadinstitute.org/alkesgroup/LDSCORE/eur_w_ld_chr.tar.bz2
tar -jxvf eur_w_ld_chr.tar.bz2
For this tutorial, we select GWAS summary statistics from link. For illustration, I downloaded UKB_20022_Birth_weight.txt.gz
and UKB_21001_Body_mass_index_BMI.txt.gz
. Let’s move the downloaded files to [your-working-dir]/gwas/
.
ldsc
requires the GWAS summary statistics files follow some format. It is described in details here.
In short, it requires your file to have the following columns:
SNP
– SNP identifier (e.g., rs number or other SNP ID matching the LDSC files)N
– sample size (which may vary from SNP to SNP).Z
– z-score. Sign with respect to A1 (warning, possible gotcha)A1
– first allele (effect allele)A2
– second allele (other allele)The recommended practice is to use munge_sumstats.py
script shared with the software for this formatting step.
You may notice that the formatting script also does some quality control and sanity check. So, if possible, we’d prefer perform formatting with this script rather than writing our own.
Side note: we find that the default setting of munge_sumstats.py
may consume large amount of memory, which could cause significant slow down of the run when the RAM is limited. To account for that, we’d suggest to adjust the default by changing --chunksize
. For instance, setting --chunksize 500000
on RCC login node.
OK, it’s time to run LDSC regression.
cd [your-working-dir]
python software/ldsc/ldsc.py \
--h2 output/UKB_20022_Birth_weight.sumstats.gz \
--ref-ld-chr data/eur_w_ld_chr/ \
--w-ld-chr data/eur_w_ld_chr/ \
--out output/ldsc_UKB_20022_Birth_weight
--ref-ld-chr
is specifying LDSC for the run. --w-ld-chr
is specifying the weighting scheme in the linear regression (it is more about technical details).
And we can estiamte genetic correlation under similar framework B. Bulik-Sullivan et al. (2015).
cd [your-working-dir]
python software/ldsc/ldsc.py \

Object Detection API
Analytics Zoo provides a collection of pre-trained models for Object Detection. These models can be used for out-of-the-box inference if you are interested in categories already in the corresponding datasets. According to the business scenarios, users can embed the models locally, distributedly in Apache Spark, Apache Storm or Apache Flink.
Object Detection examples
Analytics Zoo provides two typical kind of pre-trained Object Detection models : SSD and Faster-RCNN on dataset PASCAL and COCO. For the usage of these models, please check below examples.
Scala
It's very easy to apply the model for inference with below code piece.
val model = ObjectDetector.load[Float](params.model)
val data = ImageSet.read(params.image, sc, params.nPartition)
val output = model.predictImageSet(data)
For preprocessors for Object Detection models, please check Object Detection Config
Note: We expect the loaded images has 3 channels. If the channel is not 3(eg, gray/png images), please set imageCodec
when loading images ImageSet.read
. See https://analytics-zoo.github.io/0.1.0/#ProgrammingGuide/object-detection/#object-detection-examples
Users can also do the inference directly using Analytics zoo. Sample code for SSD VGG on PASCAL as below:
val model = ObjectDetector.load[Float](params.model)
val data = ImageSet.read(params.image, sc, params.nPartition)
val preprocessor = Resize(300, 300) ->
ChannelNormalize(123f, 117f, 104f, 1f, 1f, 1f) ->
MatToTensor() -> ImageFrameToSample()
val output = model.predictImageset(data)
Python
It's very easy to apply the model for inference with below code piece.
model = ObjectDetector.load_model(model_path)
image_set = ImageSet.read(img_path, sc)
output = model.predict_image_set(image_set)
User can also define his own configuration to do the inference with below code piece.
model = ObjectDetector.load_model(model_path)
image_set = ImageSet.read(img_path, sc)
preprocessing = ChainedPreprocessing(
[ImageResize(256, 256), ImageCenterCrop(224, 224),
ImageChannelNormalize(123.0, 117.0, 104.0), ImageMatToTensor(),
ImageSetToSample()])
config = ImageConfigure(preprocessing)
output = model.predict_image_set(image_set)
For preprocessors for Object Detection models, please check Object Detection Config

Bigfaced Moons
Big Man sqeezes the cars down into pancakes,
flattens them into the bitumen
until their wheels are the tallest things.
Sleek disks slide down the streets,
dropping tiny people off at the corners.
The moon’s light reflects off their backs,
bigfaced moons bouncing back and forth
between earth and the outersphere.
Where does all the light come from, you ask,
and Big Man crushes another car.
That’s easy, he says, light comes from Big Man.
That’s not quite right,
one of the tiny people says
from down low on the concrete
at the corner of Tory and Vivian.
Where do all the tiny people come from, you ask,
but Big Man is on Taranaki by now and he can’t hear,
big legs shaking the lightbulbs loose all the way up the hill.

Broken glass litters the footpath ahead of you
and you’re happy the bigfaced moon is out tonight.
Big Man rounds the corner and disappears.
When is the next astronaut going up, you ask,
at least tell me that.
A tan moth peeks out from the curtain
when you pass the old dog’s house.
You listen for Big Man’s response but all you hear
is the laughter from seven tiny people gathered at the next corner.
