F.2 Proxy Auto-ConfigurationProxy Auto-Configuration is a technique that allows more control over the way user-agents select a proxy. The configuration file is simply a text file containing a JavaScript function. Browsers download the configuration file when they start up and then evaluate the function before each request. The function's return value determines where the request is sent. Proxy Auto-Configuration is attractive because it gives the network administrator more control. For example, you can temporarily disable your caching service, implement load balancing, or migrate the service to new systems. Additionally, the function can return a list of proxy addresses, which the browser tries in sequence. If the first is unavailable, it tries the second, and so on. The following browsers support Proxy Auto-Configuration:
All these browsers have a place in which you can type in the Proxy Auto-Configuration URL. You'll find it in the same place as the manual proxy settings, earlier described in Section F.1. Configuring hundreds or thousands of workstations is a real hassle, which is why a handful of companies came up with WPAD, described in the next section. Writing a Proxy Auto-Configuration function is relatively straightforward. The function, named FindProxyForURL, takes two arguments and returns a list of proxy addresses, separated by semicolons. The word DIRECT instructs the browser to forward the request directly to the origin server, rather than to a proxy. Here is a simple example: function FindProxyForURL(url, host) { if (isPlainHostName(host)) return "DIRECT"; if (!isResolvable(host)) return "DIRECT"; if (url.substring(0, 5) = = "http:") return "PROXY <IP_ADDRESS>:3128; DIRECT"; if (url.substring(0, 4) = = "ftp:") return "PROXY <IP_ADDRESS>:3128; DIRECT"; return "DIRECT"; } The first if statement makes the browser connect directly to the origin server if the user types a single-component hostname, such as www. This is generally a good idea because the browser's interpretation of the hostname might be different from the proxy's. The second if statement ensures that the hostname exists in the DNS. If not, the user sees an error message from the browser itself, rather than from Squid. The next two if statements return a proxy address, followed by DIRECT for HTTP and FTP URLs. If the proxy doesn't respond, the browser attempts to make a direct connection to the origin server.
After writing the function, save it somewhere in your web server's data directory. Next, you need to configure the server to return a specific content type for the file. The convention is to give the file a .pac extension, such as proxy.pac. Then, ensure that the HTTP server returns the content type application/x-ns-proxy-autoconfig. With Apache, you can add this line to your server config file: AddType application/x-ns-proxy-autoconfig .pac Refer to Section 4.3 of Web Caching (O'Reilly), for more information on Proxy Auto-Configuration files, including more complicated FindProxyForURL ideas and examples. |

--- author: Steve Gill categories: app date: '2010-05-31 19:51:40' link: http://blogs.nitobi.com/steve/?p=23 permalink: /2010/05/31/converting-an-iphone-phonegap-app-to-a-palm-phonegap-app-in-10-minutes-2/ slug: converting-an-iphone-phonegap-app-to-a-palm-phonegap-app-in-10-minutes-2 status: publish title: Converting an iPhone PhoneGap app to a Palm PhoneGap app in 10 minutes type: post format: html ---
Last week I heard about Palm's new hot app promotion. It is pretty much an incentive to developers to make palm apps, have them get ranked and get some easy money (find details here). I realized that a lot of PhoneGap developers seem to just develop for the iPhone and android and I wanted show how easy it is to convert that iPhone PhoneGap app to a palm PhoneGap app.
The app which I am converting is called Snow Reports. You can download the source from my github at http://github.com/stevengill/SnowReports. You will see that I already have a working version of the app for iPhone, android, and palm. I have made three screen casts walking through converting the iPhone version to the Palm version.
Once you have followed the getting started guide for palm on the phonegap wiki, you should have your system setup and ready to make the palm version of this app. Make sure you download the latest version of phonegap-palm from github here. We want to copy over the contents from the www folder in the iphone repository into the phonegap-palm/framework/www folder.
There were very few changes I had to make to get this working perfectly on the palm emulator. The ultimate goal of PhoneGap is to have the user never need to make changes to the source but the PhoneGap team hasn't started focusing on rendering issues yet so until then we will have to make a few css tweaks.
For index.html, first thing that all Palm applications need is the mojo library.
<script src="/usr/palm/frameworks/mojo/mojo.js" type="text/javascript" x-mojo-version="1" ></script>
You will also notice that in the meta viewport tag that height is set to 460px. This is set for the iPhone and takes into account header in the webview. With palm we can have varying heights of devices so I usually set this to device-height.
<meta name = "viewport" content = "width = device-width, height = device-height">
For snowreport.css, some of the styles that looked good on the iPhone will not render over so good on the Palm emulator. Here are a the two styles I changed to make it look pretty:
` .header div, .footer div {
height: 34px;
padding-top: 8px;
background-repeat: repeat-x;
float: left;
}
.footer .mid-blue, .footer .mid-black {
padding: 8px 9px 0px;
}
`
There are a few things left over to do before I can call this app complete:
I want to copy Icon.png from the iphone/SnowReports to phonegap-palm/framework/www directory.
Then I want to change the id of my app. Open up appinfo.json file located in phonegap-palm/framework/www and edit the id. In my screencast I chose com.palm.snowreports. In reality you probably want to name this something different. If you leave it as com.palm.* it might not get accepted by the palm store due to them thinking you are trying trick the store into saying that palm made the app. The reason why it is set to that by default is because there is a bug in webOS that requires you to have com.palm if you want vibration in your apps. Palm is currently looking into this and will hopefully release a fix soon. Your best bet as a developer is not to include vibration for the moment and change this id to something unique.
After you have changed the Id and have the emulator running, in the terminal you will need to do a make, palm-install com.palm.snowreports, and palm-launch com.palm.snowreports.
There you have it. That's how simple it is to convert your iPhone PhoneGap app to a Palm PhoneGap app and ready to submit to the Palm webOS app store. Get to it developers!

AUSTIN POWERS: INTERNATIONAL MAN OF MYSTERY A film review by Scott Renshaw Copyright 1997 Scott Renshaw
(New Line) Starring: Mike Myers, Elizabeth Hurley, Michael York, Robert Wagner. Screenplay: Mike Myers. Producers: Suzanne Todd, Demi Moore, Jennifer Todd, Mike Myers. Director: Jay Roach. MPAA Rating: PG-13 (profanity, adult themes) Running Time: 87 minutes. Reviewed by Scott Renshaw.
Boy, did AUSTIN POWERS: INTERNATIONAL MAN OF MYSTERY take me back. Not to 1967, when I was a mere babe in arms, but to those carefree, halcyon days of 1990. George Bush was still flying high in the approval ratings, GHOST was making millions of Americans "believe," and Mike Myers was a cast member of a still-popular "Saturday Night Live." Myers provided some moments of comic genius in those days, even as the show was developing this habit of allowing sketches to exceed their welcome by several excruciating minutes. I was reminded of both aspects of 1990-era "SNL" as I watched AUSTIN POWERS: Myers' appeal, and the inability to recognize when enough is enough.
AUSTIN POWERS opens in 1967, where the title character (Mike Myers) is a legendary fashion photographer, secret agent and ladies man, battling arch-nemesis Dr. Evil (also played by Myers) alongside his partner Mrs. Kensington (Mimi Rogers). When Austin thwarts yet another of Dr. Evil's plans, the criminal mastermind has himself cryogenically preserved and launched into space to await another opportunity for evil. Thirty years later, Dr. Evil returns to earth, but the joke is on him: Austin Powers has _also_ had himself frozen, and is thawed out to take on his old foe. Together with Mrs. Kensington's daughter Vanessa (Elizabeth Hurley), Austin tries to stop Dr. Evil from blackmailing the nations of the world, while also trying to adjust to a world with different sexual mores, different fashions, and better oral hygiene.
AUSTIN POWERS is a parody which could have run out of gas in seconds if Myers had been interested only in late 60s anachronisms. As it turns out, there are relatively few gags based on the culture shock of the hero and the villain. For the most part, AUSTIN POWERS is a fairly straightforward parody of James Bond-ian secret agent adventures, with gags more amusing than their obviousness gives them any right to be. Austin's British Intelligence superior (Michael York), whose only purpose is to explain the plot, is named Basil Exposition; the buxom femme fatale is suggestively named Alotta...well, the last name completes the picture. Myers energizes all these ideas with an odd-ball edge and the sheer exuberance of his performance in both roles. It's not possible to do justice to Dr. Evil's self-revelations in a father/son encounter group, or the "erotic" dance with which Austin subdues a horde of lethal female robots.
As long as AUSTIN POWERS feels vaguely original, and doesn't remind you of "Saturday Night Live," it's actually very funny. Unfortunately, if you watched Myers-era "SNL" at all, it's going to look awfully familiar. The characterization of Dr. Evil is a cross between Myers' Dieter character and Ed Sullivan; Austin is a grown-up version of his naughty British schoolboy Simon. He invokes his loud-mouthed thespian from "Theater Stories" in one early scene, and in another does a nearly word-for-word re-creation of a bit from a "Wayne's World" sketch.  On at least five separate occasions, Myers and director Jay Roach seem to have no sense of how long is too long to stick with an extended gag. They usually feel something like this: funny for five seconds, not funny for ten seconds, funny for five more seconds, not funny for eight and a half minutes.
After so many begging-to-be-pulled-from-life-support sequences, AUSTIN POWERS feels like one of the most padded 87 minute movies you'll ever see. It didn't need to be. The early scenes set in 1967 are hilarious, including a goofy opening credits sequence and the promise of nice repartee between Myers and Mimi Rogers as the Emma Peel-like Mrs. Kensington. Every time "Laugh-In"-style musical blackout segments appeared between scenes, I thought about how much funnier AUSTIN POWERS might have been as a pure period piece. It's the character of Austin Powers and the familiar plot elements from early James Bond films which are most appealing about AUSTIN POWERS; there was no particular need to put those elements in the 1990s. But that's what we've got: a comedy which jettisons a great premise for a merely adequate one. Myers alone may be reason enough to watch AUSTIN POWERS if you are a fan of his "SNL" glory days. There will be plenty of chances in the film to flash back to those days...and if you remember them at all, you know what a mixed blessing that could be.
On the Renshaw scale of 0 to 10 secret agent men: 5.

This scenario demonstrates how to display a different image resource based on the user's current localization, scale and accessibility settings.
Windows fully supports localization, scale, and accessibility for web images and packaged text and images. Web servers can take advantage of these features by returning specific images depending on the variables encapsulated in a query string. Packaged images and text use the Resource Management System and require no further changes than what your application already does for localization, scale, and accessibility.
For web images, add the optional boolean attribute AddImageQuery to the image, binding, or visual node to have Windows automatically append query strings. The query strings are appended to the image URL provided in the notification payload when the image is requested from the image service. The image service used should respond with the appropriate image based on the parameters supplied in the query string.

Read about White Canary
Sara Lance, also known by her alter-ego White Canary, is a fictional character
in The CW's Arrowverse franchise, first introduced in the 2012 pilot episode
of the television series Arrow, and later starring in Legends of Tomorrow. The
character is an original character to the television series, created by Greg
Berlanti, Marc Guggenheim and Andrew Kreisberg, but incorporates character and
plot elements of the DC Comics character Black Canary. Sara Lance was
originally portrayed by Jacqueline MacInnes Wood in the pilot episode, and has
since been continually portrayed by Caity Lotz. Sara initially goes by the
moniker of The Canary, a translation of her Arabic League of Assassins name
الطائر الصافر (Ta-er al-Sahfer), which translates to "Whistling Bird". She
later adopts the code name of White Canary before joining the Legends of
Tomorrow.


Warehouse Chief Baxt:
I've arranged 9 numbers on the panel. Don't peek! Ha ha ha!
Now give me your 10 medals. Some players run away when they realize that they don't stand a good chance of winning. Therefore, I prefer to hold the medals before the game starts. If you quit during game play, you'll forfeit your bet. Is that satisfactory?
Now, select your first number.

| (void) | - record:withCompletionBlock: |
| Recording the event in the table. Note that whenever a logEvent or startActiveEvent APIs are called this method is invoked and we do "insertion" operation inside the database. Insertion is again an async operation. | |
| (void) | - update:withCompletionBlock: |
| Updating the event in activeEventTable. Note that whenever endActiveEvent API is called this method is invoked and we "update" operation inside the database. Updation is again an async operation. | |
| (void) | - uploadAndDelete |
| Method retrives all the entries from database, converts in suitable JSON format and uploads it. Note : Prefreable choice would be to use "sync" NSURLConnection, but since the API is deprecated, we are using NSURLSession. More... | |
| (void) | - validateTimer |
| Starting the timer. The timer is started whenever the user comes in foreground. | |
| (void) | - stopTimer |
| Ending the timer. The timer is ended whenever the user goes to background. | |
Class Methods | |
| (id) | + sharedInstance |
| Singleton Object for the NFLOGRequestManager We want only one single instance to take care of threading and logging events to database as per the event types. | |
Properties | |
| NSInteger | uploadInterval |
| upload interval determines the time interval when the events should be uploaded. We have considered this to be in seconds, for convenince. | |
Singleton class that cares of thread management and timer for uploading.
This class thus acts a Mediator between user api, database and networking. The class also acts as an observer for getting events like app goes foreground/background to start and stop timers
| - (void) createTableforEventType: | (NSString *) | eventType |
Create Table for a particular event type. Note that we are creating two types of table:
| - (void) uploadAndDelete |
Method retrives all the entries from database, converts in suitable JSON format and uploads it. Note : Prefreable choice would be to use "sync" NSURLConnection, but since the API is deprecated, we are using NSURLSession.
Note that "sync"-ronization care is taken through NFRequestManager's uploadAndDelete method while retrieving entries, and then the entries are send to NSURLSession's operation queue to upload. This is to make sure, proper order is ensured .
The completion block implementation in method, makes sure, that we are sending the results in the serialQueue, which takes care of deleting the entries from the database.
Note : Prefreable choice would be to use "sync" NSURLConnection, but since the API is deprecated, we are using NSURLSession.
Note that "sync"-ronization care is taken through NFRequestManager's uploadAndDeleteMethod while retrieving entries, and then the entries are send to NSURLSession's operation queue to upload. This is to make sure, proper order is ensured .
The completion block implementation in uploadAndDeleteAll method, makes sure, that we are sending the results in the serialQueue, which takes care of deleting the entries from the database.
Currently we are checking for all type of network and uploading, Ideally, we should only upload on WIFI and not user's Mobile Data Plan's data.
We have to make this "sync", since we want upload to happen only after all the entries are retrived, and a proper json is formed. "sync" dispatch will make sure, that network manager upload action happens only after sync thread is completely executed.

November was a simpler time for Ohio basketball.
For the men, a new season offered new hope. Antonio Campbell was the reigning Mid-American Conference Player of the Year, the Bobcats had four returning starters and two incoming freshman who could compete for significant minutes.
For the women, this season began the “Post-Kiyanna Black Era,” as the second-highest scorer in program history recently graduated. But even without Black, the returning roster offered more experience — and wins — than any other in school history.
November brought excitement. For the first time, there was potential for both the men’s and women’s teams to win the MAC in the same season and advance to the NCAA Tournament — just as Buffalo accomplished in 2015-16.
But then things happened.
Campbell got hurt, and the Bobcats struggled to regain their momentum, though they haven’t lost any ground in the MAC standings. Likewise, the women’s team became consistently inconsistent either offensively or defensively.
That makes the end of the season all the more exciting. The men are attempting to dethrone Akron and return to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2012, when they advanced to the Sweet 16. The women, who failed to win the conference regular season title for what would have been a third-consecutive season, approach the MAC Tournament in an unfamiliar place — as an underdog.
This year, the men and women alike have provided a plethora of storylines, good and bad. It’s been interesting. Now with one more regular season game apiece and the MAC Tournament in Cleveland next week, the one-and-done consequences can only make things more exciting.
For the special edition basketball tabloid, the men’s and women’s basketball beat writers have written engaging stories about Campbell’s present and future, Quiera Lampkins and her legacy, the Saul Phillips and Bob Boldon relationship and much more. Oh, and there’s even a story about Tarell Basham, who is months away from being selected in the NFL draft. Seriously.
The tabloid was enjoyable to produce. Hopefully, it’s enjoyable to read and look through, too. Either way, the season is far from over, and we still have plenty of work to do.

Data of Class _rtl_TextEncodingInfo
- StructSize
- sal_uInt32 StructSize;
- Summary
- The size (in bytes) of this structure. Should be 12.
- MinimumCharSize
- sal_uInt8 MinimumCharSize;
- Summary
- The minimum number of bytes needed to encode any character in the
given encoding.
- Description
- Can be rather meaningless for encodings that encode global state along
with the characters (e.g., ISO-2022 encodings).
- MaximumCharSize
- sal_uInt8 MaximumCharSize;
- Summary
- The maximum number of bytes needed to encode any character in the
given encoding.
- Description
- Can be rather meaningless for encodings that encode global state along
with the characters (e.g., ISO-2022 encodings).
- AverageCharSize
- sal_uInt8 AverageCharSize;
- Summary
- The average number of bytes needed to encode a character in the given
encoding.
- Reserved
- sal_uInt8 Reserved;
- Summary
- An unused byte, for padding.
- Flags
- sal_uInt32 Flags;
- Summary
- Any combination of the RTL_TEXTENCODING_INFO flags.
- Description
- RTL_TEXTENCODING_INFO_CONTEXT: The encoding uses some mechanism (like
state-changing byte sequences) to switch between different modes (e.g.,
to encode multiple character repertoires within the same byte ranges).
Even if an encoding does not have the CONTEXT property, interpretation
of certain byte values within that encoding can depend on context (e.g.,
a certain byte value could be either a single-byte character or a
subsequent byte of a multi-byte character). Likewise, the single shift
characters (SS2 and SS3) used by some of the EUC encodings (to denote
that the following bytes constitute a character from another character
repertoire) do not imply that encodings making use of these characters
have the CONTEXT property. Examples of encodings that do have the
CONTEXT property are the ISO-2022 encodings and UTF-7.
RTL_TEXTENCODING_INFO_ASCII: The encoding is a superset of ASCII. More
specifically, any appearance of a byte in the range 0x20--7F denotes the
corresponding ASCII character (from SPACE to DELETE); in particular,
such a byte cannot be part of a multi-byte character. Note that the
ASCII control codes 0x00--1F are not included here, as they are used for
special purposes in some encodings.
If an encoding has this property, it is easy to search for occurences of
ASCII characters within strings of this encoding---you do not need to
keep track whether a byte in the range 0x20--7F really represents an
ASCII character or rather is part of some multi-byte character.
The guarantees when mapping between Unicode and a given encoding with
the ASCII property are as follows: When mapping from Unicode to the
given encoding, U+0020--007F map to 0x20--7F (but there can also be
other Unicode characters mapping into the range 0x20--7F), and when
mapping from the given encoding to Unicode, 0x20--7F map to U+0020--007F
(again, there can also be other characters mapping into the range
U+0020--007F). In particular, this ensures round-trip conversion for
the ASCII range.
In principle, the ASCII property is orthogonal to the CONTEXT property.
In practice, however, an encoding that has the ASCII property will most
likely not also have the CONTEXT property.
RTL_TEXTENCODING_INFO_UNICODE: The encoding is based on the Unicode
character repertoire.
RTL_TEXTENCODING_INFO_MULTIBYTE: A multi-byte encoding.
RTL_TEXTENCODING_INFO_R2L: An encoding used mainly or exclusively for
languages written from right to left.
RTL_TEXTENCODING_INFO_7BIT: A 7-bit instead of an 8-bit encoding.
RTL_TEXTENCODING_INFO_SYMBOL: A (generic) encoding for symbol character
sets.
RTL_TEXTENCODING_INFO_MIME: The encoding is registered as a MIME
charset.

configuring netnir¶
Initialize netnir to create the basic configuration and directory structure. For the purpose of the demonstration, I’ll utilize an always on device from Cisco’s DevNet Sandbox.
$ netnir WARNING:root:netnir config doesn't exist. creating defaults. WARNING:root:creating directory ./host_vars WARNING:root:creating directory ./group_vars WARNING:root:creating directory ./templates WARNING:root:creating directory ./output WARNING:root:creating directory ./conf/hier WARNING:root:creating netnir.yaml config WARNING:root:creating ./conf/nornir.yaml config WARNING:root:loading config_file config netnir username: admin netnir network authentication password: netnir network authentication confirm passowrd: error: too few commands usage: netnir [-h] [--version] {cp,fetch,inventory,netconf,user,ssh} ... optional arguments: -h, --help show this help message and exit --version display version netnir commands: {cp,fetch,inventory,netconf,user,ssh} cp config plan commands fetch fetch commands inventory inventory search command netconf commands and config execution over NETCONF user netnir user commands ssh command and config execution over SSH
Once the configuration and directory structure is initialized. You can modify the configuration and add hosts to suit your environment. In the netnir.yaml file, you’ll want to change the domain: flag from example.net to a domain that is appropriate to your environment. Since this example uses Cisco’s DevNet Sandbox, I’ll set it to cisco.com. I’ll leave the remainder of the config default.
$ cat netnir.yaml directories: groupvars: ./group_vars hier: ./conf/hier hostvars: ./host_vars output: ./output templates: ./templates domain: cisco.com nornir: config: ./conf/nornir.yaml plugins: cp: class: netnir.core.tasks.config_plan.ConfigPlan description: config plan commands fetch: class: netnir.core.tasks.fetch.Fetch description: fetch commands inventory: class: netnir.core.tasks.inventory.Inventory description: inventory search command setup: class: netnir.core.tasks.setup.Setup description: netnir setup commands ssh: class: netnir.core.tasks.ssh.Ssh description: command and config execution over SSH
Next we’ll add a host in the host_vars folder.
$ ls host_vars/ sbx-iosxr-mgmt $ cat host_vars/sbx-iosxr-mgmt os: iosxr port: 8181 provider: cisco
The os and provider key / value pairs are the only required values for a given host. By default the port will be set to 22, unless it’s specifically set in the host variables.
You can check that netnir sees the device in inventory by executing the inventory command.
$ netnir inventory netnir username: admin {'groups': {}, 'hosts': {'sbx-iosxr-mgmt': Host: sbx-iosxr-mgmt}}
The first time that you run netnir, it will ask you for a username and password, which it will securely store in a keyring locally on your computer. The username will be stored in a file at ~/.netniruser, which netnir will read to fetch the password from the keyring. You can also use the environment variables NETNIR_USER for netnir to fetch the username from.
Example:
$ export NETNIR_USER=admin

Stage 0:Getting started with HTML
Important Concepts
How the Web Works
The web is a bunch of computers that communicate with each other. When a person goes to a web like www.google.com, their computer
sends a HTTP Requestto a server. The server finds the appropriate HTML document and sends
it back to the user's computer where a web browser interprets the page and dispalys
it on the user's screen. This video does a good job of explaining.
HTML
HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language. HTML documents form the majority of the content on the web.
HTML documents contain text content which describes "what you see" and markup
which describes "how it looks". This videogives a good overview.
Tags and Elements
HTML documents are made up of HTML elements.When writing HTML, we tell browsers the
type of each elememt by using HTML tags. This video expalins the distinction well.

This makes them very unforgiving since a small mistake by a programmer can cause huge problems in a program.
Inline vs Block Elements
HTML elements are either inline or block. Block elements form an "invisible box" around the content inside of them.

Press release
Minister Truss states there's no reason why children in England cannot reach same level as those in Japan, Singapore and China.
A national network of maths hubs that will seek to match the standards achieved in top-performing east Asian countries - including Japan, Singapore and China - was launched today by Education Minister Elizabeth Truss.
She revealed the names of the 32 schools and academy trusts which will lead the hubs across England and provide a model for schools in their area. The scheme is backed by £11 million funding from the Department for Education and will be accessible to all schools.
These ‘pace-setters’ will implement the Asian-style mastery approach to maths which has achieved world-leading success - with children in these jurisdictions often around 2 years ahead of English children by age 15.
Hubs will develop this programme with academics from Shanghai Normal University and England’s National Centre for Excellence in the Teaching of Maths ( NCETM ). Later this year, 50 teachers from Shanghai will be embedded in the hubs to teach pupils and run masterclasses for other teachers. Lessons will be shared online.
The techniques and methods used will include:
The Head of Education at the respected OECD , Andreas Schleicher, has described the programme as ‘potentially transformative’.
The hubs will also be supporting the Your Life campaign to increase the number of students studying maths and physics at A level . The campaign, led by businesses, aims to increase the number of students taking maths and physics A level by 50% over the next 3 years.
International test results show that England’s performance in maths has stagnated in recent years while other parts of the world have surged ahead. The OECD ’s Programme for International Student Assessment ( PISA ) now ranks us 25th, with the table headed by a clutch of south-east Asian jurisdictions including Shanghai, South Korea, Hong Kong, Japan and Singapore.
Education Minister Elizabeth Truss said:
There is no reason why children in England cannot achieve the same standards in maths as those in Japan, Singapore and China. We put in more resources in England than in these countries and we have the best generation of teachers ever. Yet our children are 2 to 3 years behind by the age of 15.
We must learn from the systematic practice of these high achieving countries, who are constantly seeking to improve. Maths hubs will bring this approach to all parts of the country and all schools will be able to benefit.
Our hubs will allow teachers to learn from each other, helping to give them the confidence and knowledge they need to teach maths even more effectively.
Maths is the most important subject for a child’s future - it commands the highest earnings, provides the best protection against unemployment and will get you everywhere, opening doors to dozens of careers.
One of the schools chosen to lead a maths hub is Fox Primary School in Ladbroke Grove, west London. Like the other lead schools, Fox was chosen for its high-quality maths teaching.
Teachers also focus on giving quick feedback to children. Some 98% of 11-year-olds at the school exceeded the expected level (achieving level 5 or above) in maths last year - more than twice the national average of 41%.
The school is also expert at supporting a number of struggling primary schools in the area; offering teacher training and helping them develop high-quality lesson plans.
In one school there has been a significant rise in the number of 11-year-olds achieving the expected level in maths. Between 2012 and 2013 the number of pupils in this school reaching the required standard rose from 70% to 96%.
Fox will now be given the resources to offer this kind of support to a much larger group of schools developing teachers’ subject knowledge and confidence.
Paul Cotter, Headteacher of Fox Primary School, said:
We are very excited to become a lead school in the maths hub programme. The net beneficiary of effective maths practice is the pupils, and the maths hub programme will allow the greatest possible dissemination of best practice to primary schools in our network.
Schools working in an insular, unitary fashion is a waste of a great potential to share ideas, experiences and resources amongst colleagues. We believe that learning from each other, and from expert maths teachers in China, will bring about a marked improvement in subject knowledge and pedagogy in the area of primary mathematics.
The network of hubs includes primary and secondary schools as well as further education colleges. In Sheffield, Notre Dame High School will lead the Hallam Teaching School Alliance that will support up to 600 schools in the region.
Paul Haigh, Director of the Hallam Teaching School Alliance, said:
We are honoured to have been selected as a maths hub lead school. We see improvements in maths teaching as a huge challenge that needs to be met head on to ensure our education system rivals the best in the world and our economy is strong for the future.
We work in an area where maths standards are frankly not high enough in all schools but thankfully there are many pockets of outstanding practice in terms of teaching expertise and pupil performance.
The full list of lead schools is:
The NCETM will co-ordinate the programme at a national level. The NCETM has already trialled the maths hubs approach working with several leading teaching schools.
By establishing pathfinder maths hubs which are already demonstrating how well-placed certain teaching schools are to provide strategic leadership. Also evident is the strong commitment from a diverse range of partners to pool their expertise in a collective effort to support schools in maths education.
As the programme develops the NCETM will ensure that best practice in hubs is shared amongst the whole network and drive improvement.
Charlie Stripp, Director of the NCETM :
The maths hubs programme has immense potential to bring about widespread and long-lasting improvements to the way all English school and college students learn maths, and retain that learning for use in later life. We know there are many examples of excellent mathematics education within the school and college system.
The maths hubs programme offers a means of spreading that excellence more widely, sharing proven good practice and supporting innovation. It also provides a means to disseminate, exploit and build on lessons that English teachers learn from each other, and from other countries, in particular as a result of the exchange project with teachers in China starting this autumn.
The Shanghai Teacher Exchange programme will see up to 60 English-speaking maths teachers from China embedded in the 30 maths hubs, starting this autumn term.
The Chinese teachers will run master classes for local schools and provide subject-specific on-the-job teacher training.
Two leading English maths teachers from each of the 30 maths hubs will work in schools in China for at least a month, to learn their world-class teaching approaches. The teachers will then put into practice in England what they have learnt and spread this widely to their peers.
Hubs will develop local specialist expertise by including local university faculties, area representatives of national initiatives (such as the Further Mathematics Support Programme and the Core Maths Support Programme), subject associations and appropriate local employers.
They will also work with new maths and physics chairs, PhD graduates being recruited to become teachers to take their expertise into the classroom and transform the way the maths and physics are taught. Chairs who will be offered wages of £40,000 - jointly funded by the government and businesses - will make maths and physics teaching more inspirational, practical and cutting-edge - inspiring more pupils to study them.
The maths hubs programme is just one part of wider government reforms to raise standards in maths education. We are:

Several Attempts With No Solution In Sight
The second run at implementing the binary chop method was excruciating. After several attempts, I finally decided to check out what others were doing. Was I blinded to a particular kind of solution I had in mind? Was my understanding of recursion incorrect? I felt I probably had a blind spot that was keeping me from seeing the problem in a new way. After going out on a Google search for the solution, I came across Stephen Doyle’s Blog
Here is his solution:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 |
|
Since I didn’t solve this, I’m going to talk about some of the approaches I took while trying to solve this problem and why they failed.
My Failed Ideas
The Tweaking Approach
I solved the problem once. What if I reused the same ideas but changed things just a bit? Here is what I came up with.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 |
|
As you can see, it uses the same idea of markers to indicate which portion of the array I am focusing on. The problem was I used instance variables to maintain state in subsequent calls to the chop method. This was a bad idea because it gave me bogus results in between assertions in my test suite. So I had to do away with instance variables as a way to maintain state.
The If-Else Construct Approach
You can see that from the above attempt, I continued using the if-else construct to determine which path to take in order to find the index of the integer. I used this for EVERY solution thereafter. That If-Else construct stuck to me like a leech. I didn’t even think of the possibility of doing away with it because I thought that was the only way you could traverse a binary tree. One approach I didn’t consider was simply picking one half of the array and carrying out the search until you find nothing; only then would you search for the other half. I kept thinking I MUST know whether it is greater or smaller than the integer found at the midpoint of the array. Later in this post, I discuss why I got stuck to the if-else construct approach.
My Successful Ideas
Even as I was making several attempts at the solution, there was one approach I took that led me closer to the solution.
Passing Smaller Array Slices Approach
What I did figure out was that I needed to call the chop method and pass it a smaller slice of the array. If the integer was less than the integer I found at the midpoint, I would call the chop method like so:
1
|
|
If the integer was greater than the integer I found at the midpoint, I would call the chop method like so:
1
|
|
This approach is one which Stephen Doyle used when solving the problem with recursion. I was on the right track.
The Missing Links
Stepping back and seeing Doyle’s recursive solution, I noticed there were a few things I didn’t understand which hampered my progress toward a solution.
Just Pick a Slice!
I didn’t even know this would have been allowed as part of the spec. Below is a quote from Dave Thomas’ CodeKata website:
A binary chop (sometimes called the more prosaic binary search) finds the position of value in a sorted array of values. It achieves some efficiency by halving the number of items under consideration each time it probes the values: in the first pass it determines whether the required value is in the top or the bottom half of the list of values. In the second pass in considers only this half, again dividing it in to two. It stops when it finds the value it is looking for, or when it runs out of array to search.
What I zeroed in on was this:
…in the first pass it determines whether the required value is in the top of bottom half of the list of values
I thought that the implementation involved the decision-making logic of an if-else construct where you would check if the required value is in the top half or bottom half of the list of values. That was my train of thought. But nowhere in that sentence does it say you have to use an if-else construct. To me, the sentence is misleading. Perhaps I read too much into it which ultimately led to my brain focusing on solutions that only used if-else constructs.
Stephen’s solution involves picking the bottom slice first. If the integer is not in the bottom slice, then the logic will go on to check the top slice until it finds the integer or returns a -1
to indicate it found no matching integer.
The Solution
There are a few things I would change in Stephen’s solution to make things a little more concise. Here is my solution:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 |
|
Stephen’s solution starts by checking the 0 index of the array. I went ahead and started in the middle. Also, by defining the midpoint with the mid
variable, I can condense the portion of the array I pass to the chop method. I also went ahead and used ranges instead of the comma syntax inside the brackets. Rather than use array_of_int[array_of_int / 2, array_of_int.size - 1]
, I preferred the use of ranges and negative indexing to shorten the parameter I pass.
A Final Note
Dave Thomas hints at a third solution:
…one might use a functional style passing array slices around…
Let’s see how well I fare solving it in that style.

Believe it or not, in IE you need to add something like this to see the bottom corners.


| DOSE: |
6.0 mg |
insufflated |
2C-T-7 |
(capsule) |
it was on thursday, around 3 pm, after work. i went to visit a friend of mine -- let´s call him ksk -- who had told me he had a couple of capsules of 2c-t-7, prepared by a friend of us with more or less 18 mg each.
we´d been planning to do some kind of an `out-of-the-city-group-tripping´ with some others, but finally we found ourselves alone with the compound. as it was too late for me to travel, and i had to get up very early the next day, we decided -- based on an experiencie read at lycaeum -- to split a capsule and ingest it nasally. this way we would have a fast onset and a shorter trip. (plus less interesting side-effects, as you will see)
ksk told me that it would be a little painful to my nose (he had already tried it this way), so i snort 2/3 of my half capsule (6 mg aprox), saving the rest for a later boost. he did the same thing.
the first thing i could notice was the taste of it: it was similar to the smell of epoxy based adhesives, not my favourite thing to snort, btw. a few seconds after, i started feeling a sting in my right nostril, not too painfull, but with growing intensity. i watched ksk, and he seemed to be suffering the same.
i waited a couple of minutes, but it didn´t seem to get any better, au contraire, i begun to feel the entire right side of my face congestionated and a bit anesthesized, and my right eye was wattering a little too much. not to say that my affected nostril was absolutly clogged.
i went to the bathroom and i saw my face as it was at that moment: deformed. my right eye was red, and a bit deviated, and the whole picture was of someone not having a pleasent time.
instantly, the visuals arrived. they were similar of those of psilocybe cubensis, in the way that everything was expanding and contracting; and as i watched the monitor of ksk´s pc i would see the grey color of the windows turn to ashy-brown, then to purple, then to some strange no-color (the only way i can describe it), and changing its shape, as if it were a dense liquid.
i said that the visuals were mushroom-like, but in some way i felt they lacked of the `emotional side´ that the mushroom trip has. like they were `empty of content´, mere visual effects.
but the bodyload was very intense. i begun to have muscle spasms in the back of my legs -- like `trrrr trrrrr trrr´ --, wich was very annoying; and i was feeling my neck and shoulders contract a lot.
ksk was experiencing the same problems that i, and went to the bathroom to vomit. he was just coming back when i -- lying on the carpet -- felt the urgent need to throw up, wich ended with me running to de-lunch.
after vomiting both of us recover totally from nausea, and my face gradually became my usual one. the others side effects begun to decline after 30´, and were totally gone after an hour.
i have to mention that we took some gamma-butyrolactone during the experience to ease the nerves, and it really worked, although we had to take larger (no too larger) doses than we usually do.
at that point the visuals were amazing, things kept expanding and contracting, but now we started seing trails of movement, really great; and the color-changing was impressive. btw, the colors were not brilliant -- as with cubensis -- but opaque, which didn´t diminish the beauty of them.
we decided to go out to breathe some fresh air, and went for a walk through a near park. we found ourselves feeling very well, very confortable with ourselves. we also felt very empathic and talked long time about certain personal issues in a very fluid way. we seem to gain a slightly better insight on certain matters, and we were able to express our inner feelings openly.
besides, we felt our minds very clear, not cloudy at all. we felt `sober´ in a certain way.
and from time to time we also were a bit exalted, i.e. we jumped down a slope in the park shouting and gesticulating (although both of us are adults, sometimes we just forget).
a couple of hours later we returned home where we smoke some marihuana, took some more lactone and chilled out with some electronic music. i was very relaxed and smoothly coming down, feeling just fine. ksk decided to inject himself some ketamine, wich he did with very impressive results, he may write down his side of the story one of this days.
well, one thing i know now is how heavy this compound is on your body when snorted, and i´d like to try it orally in the near future. but it was really worth the experience and i think i´d repeat it. maybe.

Media Queries Are Important
byCSS3 media queries have become a hit in recent years thanks to the increased popularity of responsive web design, which I’ve previously written about. This popularity is set to increase even more thanks to recent actions by Google and the W3C.
On June 6, 2012 via their Webmaster Central Blog, Google stated that sites well-optimized for mobile have “the best chance of performing well in Google’s search results,” making it clear that using media queries is the ideal way to optimize things. Thirteen days later, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) formally recommended media queries as a web standard.
To be clear about Google’s statement: they have given absolutely NO indication that building your site with media queries will make it rank higher in Google’s search results, it just gives your site a better chance of that happening. I’ll discuss this in-depth later but don’t let this keep you from using them on your site, because these recent moves by Google and the W3C have placed a high premium on media queries as they pertain to proper web development.
Let’s discuss the W3C’s actions first and they need to be placed in their proper context…
The W3C & Media Queries
The W3C is the web standards watchdog, doing its best to enforce them globally. A potential standard goes through five phases of approval: “Working Draft,” “Last Call Working Draft,” “Candidate Recommendation,” “Proposed Recommendation” and “Recommendation.” There is some variation among the various standards committees but they all share these five phases.
Nothing reaches Recommendation status until all of its features are 100% implemented in at least two web browsers and if you’re familiar with the Browser Wars, you know that’s an uphill battle. Case in point: the CSS2 specification was released in 1996 but didn’t reach Recommendation status until 2011.
The W3C wanted CSS3 to gain Recommendation status at a faster pace than earlier versions so they decided to break CSS3 into separate modules. This meant that instead of the world waiting for the entire spec to go to Reco, the modules could reach the status on their own. The decision was a smart one and allowed media queries to go to Recommendation quickly.
By being defined as a web standard, media queries are now seen as a key component in making your site widely accessible. The more accessible it is, the more end-users who can access it on a variety of devices. People can view your site on smartphones, laptops, desktops, e-readers, gaming consoles, etc…yes, people do browse sites on gaming consoles. Making sure that anyone can view your site on any device is a good goal for you to have as a site owner.
In truth, this was a no-brainer move for the W3C. Layout-based media queries have been an immediate hit with developers, mostly due to Ethan Marcotte’s set of ALA articles. Their rise in popularity caused most modern browsers to support them before the spec even went to Reco.
It was Google’s move that was a surprise but, if you look some of their recent actions, not a big one.
Google & Media Queries
The primary thing that helps your site achieve high rankings in Google’s search results is to produce high quality content and, in all fairness, the process by which Google determines content as high quality is pretty fair. The second thing, which most ignore, is to make the content as easy for Google to find and understand as possible.
If you have both a desktop and mobile version of your site, Google must crawl both versions, parse them, then decide how to properly index each site if they ever need to list the sites in their search results. It takes Google more time to do this for two sites than it would for one site.
A responsive website built with media queries keeps both the desktop and mobile versions under one URL, reducing the amount of time it takes Google to find and parse content. And if you make it easy for them, they’ll try help you as best as they can.
This action falls in line with Google’s growing love affair with fast-loading sites. They’ve invested heavily in their PageSpeed suite of site optimization tools for web developers and grabbed site speed guru Steve Souders from Yahoo. Plus, they announced in 2010 that a fast-loading site can get a higher search rank. While it carries a low weight and affects less than 1% of sites, the sum is greater than the parts. Because site speed matters so much to mobile devices, Google is paying strict attention to it at a much higher level than their competitors.
Media queries are part of that sum but I’ll say it again: don’t take this to mean that a media query-enabled site guarantees you high search engine rankings. The link above where Google praises media queries also states that they understand that “it may not be possible or appropriate to use responsive web design” in certain situations. They offer site optimization tips for just such situations, which they wouldn’t do if they wanted to penalize sites for not using media queries.
This is all a big deal
A web dev-based blog post like this is basically a time capsule: a snapshot of what’s going on at a certain period of time. If this post survives the test of time and is still on the interwebs 20 years from now, people will look at it then and say, “how quaint.”
So why create this post? Because the actions of Google and the W3C just made media queries a big deal right now and that needs to be screamed from the rooftops. The W3C has deemed it that MQs make can make sites more accessible. An accessible site makes Google’s job easier, so much so that they’ve flat-out told us that they care about the accessibility potential of media queries and want us to use them. We have been given a clear roadmap to making better websites with these statements…I’m skeptical that enough people are on the right path.
I don’t think building, or rebuilding a site with media queries is easy. To the contrary: it’s incredibly tough! But some good reasons have just come up why you should at least consider using them, even if it means rebuilding your site from the ground up.
Of course, you may do some research and decide that a media query-enabled website is not for you, and that’s perfectly fine. Not using media queries is not a sin: not realizing their importance is.
