A shaft clamp having a first clamp member and a second clamp member, each having a main body shaped to allow positioning of the clamp member about a shaft and engagement of a shaft by a surface of the main body, is disclosed. The two clamp members are pivotably connected together at adjoining ends and separable at free ends, much like a clam shell configuration. A locking mechanism engagable with the free ends of the first and second clamp members is used to secure and pull the free ends of the clamp members to one another as they are positioned about a shaft. Alternatively, a torque-assisting extension connected to at least one of either the first member or the second member may be included. The extension allows the shaft clamp to be rotated, moved, or otherwise maneuvered more easily as it is secured about a shaft.
This application claims priority of and incorporates by reference Provisional Application No. 61/409,364, titled “Shaft Clamp” and filed on Nov. 2, 2010.
The present device relates to a clamp for use with large cylinders. Particularly, the present device relates to a clamp used in assembly, maintenance and repair of pneumatic cylinders, such as those used to move elevators.
In order to work on, move, install, repair or otherwise handle large shafts, such as those used in the support in movement of elevators, it is necessary to secure the heavy and typically smooth-surfaced cylinder to prevent damage and injury. Riggings using straps, hoses, chain and the like are common tools for such operations. Unfortunately, these shafts may come in a variety of diameters, and some may have tapered surfaces with continually narrowing profiles. Accordingly, it can be increasingly difficult to provide a single tool or rigging capable of safely handling the range of variations.
However, the present invention provides a single clamp which is capable of attaching to most any large diameter shaft with only a few minor adjustments. The present clamp solves these any other related problems associated with the tools and methods used by those skilled in the art.
A shaft clamp used to secure and rotate a large mechanical shaft, such as used in an elevator, is described.
In an embodiment, the disclosed shaft clamp comprises a first clamp member and a second clamp member, each having a main body shaped to allow positioning of the clamp member about a shaft and engagement of a shaft by a surface of the main body. The two clamp members are pivotably connected together at adjoining ends and separable at free ends, much like a clam shell configuration. The embodiment also includes a locking mechanism engagable with the free ends of the first and second clamp members to secure and pull the free ends of the clamp members to one another as they are positioned about a shaft.
In other embodiments, a torque-assisting extension connected to at least one of either the first member or the second member may be included. The extension allows the shaft clamp to be rotated, moved, or otherwise maneuvered more easily as it is secured about a shaft.
In an embodiment, the locking mechanism comprises a rod and two adjustable members which bias against the free ends of the clamp members. Preferably, the rod comprises an outer threaded surface and the adjustable members comprise a compatible inner threaded surface which allows them to be moved along the threaded rod. An adapter for engaging both a free end of the clamp member and an adjustable member may be used.
In still another embodiment, the pivotable connection between the adjoining ends of the first and second members is adjustable to allow a greater separation between the engagement surfaces. Preferably, the adjustability is provided by extended flanges or the like on the adjoining ends with distinct adjustment points, such as bolt holes, for example.
Any of the disclosed embodiments may include an engagement surface insert attachable to at least one of the engagement surfaces. The use of insert(s) allows the defined circumference of the clamp members to be reduced to more properly engage a particular shaft.
These and other embodiments are described and illustrated herein in such detail that those skilled in the art would understand how to make and use such embodiments without undue experimentation.
For the purpose of facilitating an understanding of the subject matter sought to be protected, there are illustrated in the accompanying drawings embodiments thereof, from an inspection of which, when considered in connection with the following description, the subject matter sought to be protected, its construction and operation, and many of its advantages should be readily understood and appreciated.
figref[FIG. 1] is a perspective view of an embodiment of the present clamp device;
figref[FIG. 2] is a top view of an embodiment of the present clamp device in an open position;
figref[FIG. 3] is a top view of an embodiment of the present clamp device in a closed position;
figref[FIG. 4] is an exploded view of an embodiment of the present clamp;
figref[FIG. 5] is a partial view showing an embodiment of a locking bar used in the present clamp device;
figref[FIG. 6] is a perspective of an embodiment of the present clamp engaged with a shaft; and
figref[FIG. 7] is a partial view of an embodiment of an interior surface of the present clamping surface and insert.
While this invention is susceptible of embodiments in many different forms, there is shown in the drawings and will herein be described in detail a preferred embodiment of the invention with the understanding that the present disclosure is to be considered as an exemplification of the principles of the invention and is not intended to limit the broad aspect of the invention to embodiments illustrated.
Referring to figref[FIGS. 1-7] , there is illustrated a shaft clamp, generally designated by the numeral 10. The clamp 10 has two substantially identical halves, i.e., clamp members, bolted together at adjoining ends in a manner which allows the free ends of the two clamp members to pivot between an open position and a closed position, with a number of intermediate positions. A latching mechanism is used to secure and pull the free ends of the clamp members to one another. Positioned between the clamp member pivot and the latching mechanism are two large Y-shaped main bodies 12, 14 which define an interior circumference and move toward and away from one another to alter that circumference. It is these two components which provide engagement with a shaft.
The expanse of the clamping surfaces may be almost any size, provided when secured to a shaft a sufficient surface area contacts the shaft. The clamp 10 may be manufactured in a variety of sizes, much like many adjustable hand tools are today. For example, a 12-inch clamp may be suitable for use on a shaft from between about 8 to about 15 inches in diameter and an 18-inch clamp for 15-22 inches diameter shafts. The adjustability of the clamp may be greater or less.
As can be seen from an illustration of a preferred embodiment, each bolted end includes two metal connecting flanges 16, 18 with multiple holes (four in each flange are shown). The connecting flanges are arranged in pairs in a crossing fashion and a corresponding hole from each is aligned. Once properly aligned, a suitable fastener, e.g., a nut/bolt/washer assembly, is secured into each pair of holes to maintain the two clamp members in a pivoting relationship. By changing the aligned holes on the paired connecting flanges, the pivot point of the clamp 10 is adjustable. By changing the pivoting point, the clamping circumference may be similarly altered.
Looking at the opposite, opening and closing free ends of the clamp members, the latching mechanism can be more readily understood. Here, four additional extending flanges 20, 22 are positioned. These flanges are preferably aligned to abut edges, as shown. On an inside surface of each locking flange is a notch, semi-circular notches are shown.
As shown in figref[FIG. 5] , a large threaded shaft 24 with a nut, washer and a half-cylinder shaped latching component 26 at each end attaches to the open end of the two pivoting halves of the clamp to secure it closed. That is, the half-cylinder shaped latching components are seated within the semi-circular notches, then the nuts are tightened on each end to bias the free ends together and hold the semi-cylinders in place.
The interior surfaces of each clamp member (i.e., the arms of the Y) is preferably fully or partially lined with a durable material which has good slip-resistance against steel. Preferably, the surfaces are lined with a thick (about 1-10 mm) leather or leather-like material.
As shown in figref[FIG. 7] , another method for altering the clamping width of the clamp is through the use of clamp inserts 30. One or two inserts (smaller V-shaped components), which may also include a layer of leather or leather-like material, attach within the clamp members via a small opening in each clamp member, though other attachment options exist. The purpose of the inserts is to reduce the minimum clamping diameter of the clamp. They may also be used for irregular-shaped shafts, as would be understood by one of skill in the art.
The back flanges 32, 34 of the clamping surfaces (i.e., the stem of the Y) may include a chain shackle 36 bolted to each. The chain shackle 36 is used to attach, for example, a support chain (figref[FIG. 6] ). A torque device coupler 38 may also be fixed onto one or both of the back flanges 32, 34. The coupler 38 is preferably a sleeve into which the torque device may be detachably secured. As shown, the coupler 38 has a hole into which a pin may be inserted to lock the torque device in place.
There are two illustrated torque devices shown in the appended drawings. The first is a long rod 40 which locks into the coupler 38 by one end. The rod 40 extends tangentially from the secured clamp and allows a user to grip and turn the clamp, thereby rotating the secured shaft. The second torque device is a short rod with an impact adapter 42. This device also locks into the coupler 38 by one end. The adapter end is configured to permit the insertion of, for example, an impact tool. Operation of the impact tool also creates the desired rotation of the shaft. Other torque generating tools may also be adapted to attach to the present clamp without undue experimentation.
The components of the clamp are preferably made from steel plate, from about one-fourth inch to about one inch thick plate preferred, and steel rod, about half inch to about three inch diameter. Obviously, larger and smaller plate and rod sizes are possible. The hardware to be used is preferably SAE grade 5 or stronger.
In use, the pivot point of the clamp 10 should first be set and checked to create the most desirable clamping circumference between the engaging surfaces of the main bodies. This can be readily determined by one of skill in the art. Once the pivot point is set, the clamp 10 can be opened and positioned to close about the desired shaft, inserting the threaded locking shaft at the open end by properly seating each of the half-cylinder shaped latches within the notches of the locking flanges. The nut on each end of the threaded locking shaft should be adequately tightened. A torque device can then be attached to one or both of the torque device couplers. Torque may now be applied to the clamp to turn the shaft. Also, support chains may be linked to the shackle attached to each half of the clamp when necessary.
Once the shaft has been moved or repaired, as necessary, the chains may be removed and the threaded locking rod removed by loosening the end nuts and unseating the latches. The clamp may then be opened and removed.
The matter set forth in the foregoing description and accompanying drawings is offered by way of illustration only and not as a limitation. While particular embodiments have been shown and described, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that changes and modifications may be made without departing from the broader aspects of applicants' contribution. The actual scope of the protection sought is intended to be defined in the following claims when viewed in their proper perspective based on the prior art.


Backing up Salesforce Meta data
Clicks not code makes the Salesforce Admin a super hero, but might send jitters through the compliance and change management team's combined spines. How can you track all of these changes?
Tracking changes
Salesforce does record, when configured, changes in setup for 180 days. The format is a log that isn't actionable (e.g. rollback). An alternative to the build in function is BlueCanvas that stores meta data automatically into a git repository. It's part of their developer focused solution that also handles the deployment and rollback of source code
Downloading meta data
When you are not ready (or haven't allocated a budget yet) to fully automate this, there's a do-it-yourself alternative. A few steps:
- Make sure you have Java8 installed
- Deploy the Salesforce Ant Migration tool
- Download and deploy into your path PackageBuilder.jar developer by my colleague Kim Galant
- create a
build.properties
file (see below) - create a
build.xml
file (see below) - run the
fetchSrc.sh
shell command (see below)
PackageBuilder will, when called with no instructions read ALL meta data and create one or more package.xml
files. Once created you can use ANT to retrieve the data

Hi all. I know it's been just under a year since last time I was here. Been about that long since I last messed with c++ too. At any rate, I'm trying to create a quick and dirty program.
I searched online for anything that will take a sequence of png images (file01.png file02.png etc..) and turn into an uncompressed avi keeping the alpha channel.
Most ppl say to use windows movie maker. The lowest time I can set a single image to show is 0.07 seconds which works out to about 14 frames a second. Not the 24 to 30 fps I'd like.
So I am trying to write a quick console app that I can drop a single file onto. It should take the name, search the folder the file is located and build a list of files with similar names. (basically split the numbers off the end to use for sequence order, and match the file names.) This part I can do. Asking for the number of miliseconds to show each frame will be easy too.
But then I need to load each png into a buffer and write one after another to the avi stream. I looked over the msdn library on the iavistreamwrite info, and even found a couple sample codes from google on writing to the iavistream but none of it tells me what needs to be in the buffer.
How do I import the png into the buffer so that it can be passed to the iavistream ??
Any help? (While waiting, I'll be looking up the how to on searching the folder for other files.)
The SDL has an extension for loading PNG files into an SDL_Surface. From there you can get the pixel information and put it into a char array. I don't know about converting it to AVI format, though...
Well, as far as converting it to avi, the MSDN just says a LpBuffer of type LpVoid
and the examples I found refer to a DibSection with which they are adding bitmaps.
A link at the top of the page shows examples of how to use it.
But I don't know how to go from PNG to Bitmap. Is the data the same once loaded to a surface and then to a char array?
Also, Recently was introduced to Boost (as of an hour ago) so am looking at it. Anyone know if it has a library for handling png's?
eh. yea.. I could get after effects free if i wanted to pirate it.. and considering the cost of it is $999, yet many kids are using it on youtube, tells me almost everybody pirates that one. But I don't like pirating. Not when I can find a free alternative.
Wax 2.0 does chroma key, and has a basic particle effect thing, plus some good text and a couple other basic things.. Not as good as after effects.. but If i could create effects in an image editing program and composite over video it would be kewl. could even make some of those effects downloadable.
Could also do some animated backgrounds and text bars or other things.
Also, if i could get the hang of working with images, or surfaces.. I might start a project that would be an opensource freeware version of after effects.. but thus far that is out of my experience.

#assign subtitle = "ElasticSearch"> <#assign elastic = "true">
There are quite a few different reasons why ElasticSearch integration is useful to applications using Ebean ORM.
Many modern applications provide a single search input field to operate in a 'Google search' fashion. For example, searching for customers including their name and address (street, city, country etc).
ElasticSearch uses analysers and inverted indexes to make "text search" fast and efficient. OLTP databases generally provide very different indexing via BTree and BitMap indexes which are orientated towards the needs of OLTP (short transactions, self balancing etc).
Many databases provide materialised views which are generally derived / calculated views used to provide faster views of the data. Materialised views are often refreshed periodically and used by applications knowing that the derived / calculated data is only refreshed periodically and potentially stale. For example, product pricing might be refreshed every midnight.
ElasticSearch indexes can sometimes be thought in a similar way to DB materialised views. They represent a materialised (document orientated) view of the data which can be updated in near real time with each commit or updated in a more periodic batch fashion.
ElasticSearch has built in horizontal scaling and this can be used to provide an easier / cheaper way to scale read access when compared to scaling a more traditional OLTP database. Note that the access is not equivalent to that provided by most OLTP databases (does not provide the same transactional read consistency guarantees and is 'near' real time but usually lags by a second etc) - however, these limitations are often acceptable given the improved read scalability.
ElasticSearch can also be viewed as a document store and often the 'documents' stored are denormalised and contain derived and joined information. This means a retrieve of a single document in elastic search can compete with a SQL query would involve many joins. For example, an Order document might be denormalised and otherwise in a SQL query join Order, OrderDetails, Customer and Product tables.
The traditional downsides of denormalised data exist but when your OLTP database is still the primary data store and ElasticSearch is a secondary store then storing 'denormalised documents' is nicely manageable.
Ebean like other ORM's has an L2 cache and specifically all face the issue specifically with the
L2 Query cache
being invalidated frequently.
Essentially if an application is reliant on the L2 Query cache
on a bean type that is
frequently changed (Inserts, updates or deletes) then this will result in load on the database
(ineffective utilisation of the L2 Query cache as it is frequently invalidated).
ElasticSearch provides many relational predicates and many "relational" queries can be reasonably executed against ElasticSearch. If there is a need to scale "findMany" queries against frequently updated tables then ElasticSearch can provide a good solution (and a ORM L2 query cache faces significant limitations in this case).
Ebean can use ElasticSearch as an L3 cache (you can think of it as the remote part of an L2 cache). If there is a miss in the local L2 cache Ebean can go and hit ElasticSearch rather than the database with the benefits that ElasticSearch is known to have all the data and have it in denormalised form (so a single hit against ElasticSearch might populate more of the graph than a traditional DB hit).
@DocStore
TODO
```java // Store contact in ElasticSearch using default setup @DocStore @Entity public class Contact { ```@DocStoreEmbedded
On @ManyToOne and @OneToMany properties you can specify the properties that should be included in the document that is to be indexed.
```java @DocStore @Entity public class Contact { ... // denormalise including the customer id and name // into the 'contact' document @DocStoreEmbedded(doc="id,name") @ManyToOne(optional=false) Customer customer; ``````java DocumentStore docStore = Ebean.getDefaultServer().docStore() docStore.indexByQuery(query); Order order = docStore.getById(Order.class, 2); ```
* Note that the select and fetch paths of the query is set for you to match the * document structure needed for the index so what this query requires is the * predicates only. *
** This query will be executed using findEach so it is safe to use a query * that will fetch a lot of beans. The default bulkBatchSize is used. *
* * @param query The query used to update the associated document store. */

Brown: removing Johnson from No 10 would restore ‘common decency’
The former prime minister will be speaking at three events across Scotland.
Gordon Brown is to claim removing Boris Johnson from Number 10 is the first step in restoring “common decency” and moving the UK forward.
The former prime minister will be speaking at three events across Scotland – in Fife, South Lanarkshire and East Lothian – on Saturday amid the General Election campaign.
He will highlight child poverty as an issue which should be central to concerns of politicians and voters on December 12, with 121,925 children in working families north of the border living in such conditions.
Mr Brown is to say: “Boris Johnson’s departure from Downing Street on December 12 is the first step to moving our United Kingdom forward – united again in purpose, compassion and common decency.
“People talk of the government spending more but austerity has not ended for millions of families with children and millions of low-paid workers.
“Austerity for them will continue throughout the next parliament if Boris Johnson’s policies are implemented.
“The UK is already torn apart by Brexit, divisive nationalisms, a north-south divide and the crude trolling of vulnerable people of all sides.
“We are so disunited we have lost sight of a once-compassionate, state-guaranteed safety net and seem unable to work together – even to come to the aid of vulnerable children.
“Labour is absolutely right to say it will abolish universal credit. This discredited system – the brainchild of Iain Duncan Smith – is chaotic, demeaning and poverty-inducing. Nothing can make it work.
“The first step to relieving child poverty is the end of universal credit.
“A caring nation would increase child benefit substantially, raise the child credit, end the withdrawal of benefits from three and four-child families and guarantee that there is always enough housing benefit in place to pay rent.”

Nintendo's first store in Japan opens this Friday, and it looks like a Nintendo-lover's paradise — here's what it's like inside
by Kevin Webb- Nintendo just opened a brand-new flagship store, Nintendo Tokyo, in its home country of Japan.
- Nintendo Tokyo is located on the sixth floor of Shibuya Parco, a new department store in Tokyo’s Shibuya district.
- A new Pokémon-themed store called Pokémon Centre Shibuya will open on the same floor as Nintendo Tokyo, allowing customers to walk through and shop in both stores.
- Nintendo Tokyo features exclusive merchandise and Nintendo Switch consoles so customers can demo Nintendo’s latest releases.
- Nintendo has a similar flagship store, Nintendo NY, in New York City’s Rockefeller Centre.
- Visit Business Insider’s homepage for more stories.
Nintendo Tokyo will celebrate its grand opening on November 22, giving the Japanese gaming giant its first flagship store in its home country.
Nintendo Tokyo is located on the sixth floor of Shibuya Parco, a newly opened department store in Tokyo’s Shibuya District. In addition to selling Nintendo video games and consoles, Nintendo Tokyo has tons of exclusive merchandise featuring iconic Nintendo characters, as well as stations where customers can try out the latest Nintendo games.
Nintendo already operates a similar store, Nintendo NY, in New York City’s Rockefeller Centre.
Members of the press were invited to tour the store during an event on November 19, ahead of the grand opening on Friday.The Wall Street Journal’s Takashi Mochizuki shared a walking tour of Nintendo Tokyo on Twitter in two videos.
A new Pokémon-themed store, Pokémon Centre Shibuya, is located next to Nintendo Tokyo. While Nintendo also owns the Pokémon franchise, Nintendo Tokyo and Pokémon Centre Shibuya will operate as separate stores – the Pokémon Centre retail chain is managed by a subsidiary called The Pokémon Company. There are already multiple Pokémon Centre stores in Japan.
While Nintendo created The Pokémon Company to make the most of licensing opportunities, the company has been much more conservative with its other video game properties. Nintendo Tokyo is the latest in a series of gradual steps to expand the company’s pop-culture influence beyond the world of gaming. In early 2018 Nintendo announced that a Super Mario movie was in the early stages of development, and in 2020, Universal Studios Japan plans to open a Super Nintendo World attraction that reportedly cost $US544 million.
Here’s a closer look at Nintendo Tokyo ahead of its grand opening on November 22:

‘ISRO in Images’ gives a peek into the space agency’s past
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is all set to launch the CartoSAT-3 earth observation satellite from India, along with thirteen commercial nanosatellites from the US, on November 25. Created by Vikram Sarabhai in 1969, ISRO is celebrating the scientist’s birth centenary this year, alongside commemorating the organisation’s 50th anniversary.
To celebrate the dual anniversary, authors PV Manoranjan Rao, BN Suresh and VP Balagangadharan launched Ever Upwards: ISRO in Images, a book with over 370 photographs picked from a collection of 2,000. A sequel to From Fishing Hamlet to the Red Planet, the latest book was in the works for nearly five years before being launched in July 2019 and has a series of never-seen-before images.

What is the difference between Conventional Forced Air, Heat Pump, Radiant, Other, and None
Conventional Forced Air is used to describe systems such as gas furnaces with central air conditioning tha blow air through vents. Heat pumps also blow air through ducts, however a heat pump uses one outdoor unit to control both air conditioning and heating. Radiant systems use hot water to heat the home. This may be done with baseboards or radiators. If you do not have one of these types of systems select Other and we will help you set the system up appropriately. If the Lyric Thermostat is only controlling air conditioning in your home select None (Cool Only)

Student t characteristic polynomials.
Generates the polynomial coefficients defining the characteristic function of a T distribution \(T_\nu\) of odd order; \(\nu=2n+1\). In general the characteristic function is given by:
\[ \phi_{\nu}(t) = \varphi_{n}(t) \exp{-\nu^{1/2}|t|} ;\,where\,\nu = 2n+1 \]
where \( \varphi \) are polynomials that are computed recursively.
The convolved characteristic function is the product of the two previous characteristic functions and the problem is then the convolution (a product) of two polynomials.

Authored article
Michael Gove writing in the 'Daily Mail': "The way to get students from poor homes in weak schools into good universities is not to rig exams, establish quotas or inflate grades."
Why do some societies succeed while others fail? Why is it that some nations can prosper while others decline? Is it a matter of natural resources, cultural factors or wise public spending? Or some indecipherable ingredient which is a matter of the purest chance?
History teaches us that it is none of the above. Nations succeed when they put talent first: those societies which have guaranteed the highest standards for all their citizens, throughout the ages, have been those which have been the purest meritocracies.
Those who don’t promote on merit, whether crony-ridden sheikhdoms or creaking Euro institutions, find they quickly decline, whatever riches they start out with.
Deciding that jobs, or positions of influence, should be allocated on the basis of where you come from, not what you can do, is the sort of thinking we should leave to defenders of the feudal system and discredited Marxists.
But, sadly, the deluded notion that background matters more than ability is still alive, well and undermining excellence in the cloistered seminar rooms of the left-wing education establishment.
How else to explain the bizarre idea which has emanated from one of our examination boards that students with weaker A levels, if they’ve attended a poor school, should be able to automatically leapfrog students who possess stronger A levels in the race for university places?
Exam boards exist to measure ability, not engage in crude social engineering.
And the A level, as Britain’s most demanding school-level qualification, is the real test of their ability to maintain educational standards.
The point of the A level is to equip students with the knowledge to flourish at university.
A levels should also help universities select the students best equipped to succeed, by the simple and old-fashioned expedient of giving the most able students the highest grades.
Sadly, in my job as Education Secretary, I’ve been confronted with more and more evidence from universities that A levels are no longer doing the job they should.
Professors tell me they have to provide catch-up classes for bright students who arrive at university with good grades, but who have not been provided with enough knowledge in the A level syllabus to match the performance of students from other countries, or students who started the same course a generation ago.
The same academics also tell me they are finding it more and more difficult to identify the most able pupils, when so many come with fistfuls of As and A stars.
The delight that hard-working students feel when they get a string of great passes curdles into anger when they find that still doesn’t mark them out from the crowd or guarantee a cherished college place.
The last government invented the A star because so many were getting As.
Now the numbers walking off with a clutch of A stars means we may soon have to introduce a veritable galaxy of A double and triple stars simply to allow the top talent to stand out.
It’s quite wrong to blame pupils for this fiasco. They work harder than ever, what with GCSE modules and AS levels before their final A2 exams.
They deserve better. Exam boards should be working harder to get tests which are truly stretching, and provide marking schemes which are more rigorous.
But instead we have the silly idea from one exam board… that we should further devalue the gold standard.
The education system, it is argued, should inflate the value of lower grades if a candidate comes from what is believed to be a weaker school.
All students are to be treated equally, but some will be treated rather more equally than others.
The authors of this scheme, I am sure, imagine they are doing their bit to advance social mobility.
Well, as the beneficiary of old-fashioned ideals which genuinely advanced social mobility, such as hard work, great teaching and academic rigour, let me assure the authors of this modest proposal that they are insulting any child who wants to succeed on their own merits.
No one wants to think they’ve been admitted somewhere on sufferance rather than ability.
And this scheme risks tipping the scales against the deserving. A child from a normal home on a scholarship at a private school, as I was, would suffer compared with a child from a wealthier background who goes to a state school, but benefits from expensive private tutoring…
It’s because I came from a modest background – my father was a fish merchant – that I am so passionate about the power of great education to transform people’s lives.
I spent my first months in care, before being adopted and brought up by wonderful parents who believed in education, even though they’d both had to leave school before they were 16.
I was fortunate to go to good state schools, before winning a scholarship to a private school. At every point I benefited from excellent teachers who didn’t make excuses about their pupils’ backgrounds.
They expected every child to succeed. And they demanded the same level of discipline, application and ambition from every student because they thought we were all capable of excellence if we tried our utmost.
That same attitude permeates our best schools today, including those in our poorest areas: London schools such as Burlington Danes in White City, or Mossbourne in Hackney, which have more than their fair share of students from disadvantaged homes.
They do much better in exams than many schools, including private schools, in leafy areas.
Their students win places at Oxbridge on merit. All because their heads, from the moment any child arrives, refuse to accept excuses for under-performance.
Because once you accept that a child is likely to do less well than his contemporaries, you condemn that child to fall further and further behind, to never know the satisfaction of pushing himself beyond his limits, to be a prisoner of others’ prejudice. The victim of the bigotry of low expectations.
That is why, instead of covering up poor performance – or purposefully skewing university entrance procedures – we need to demand more of our education system.
The way to get students from poor homes in weak schools into good universities is not to rig exams, establish quotas or inflate grades.
We should improve the state schools in the first place. All the ingenuity that academics devote to lowering the bar to entry to college should instead go into raising standards in the classroom much earlier.
The reason I am giving teachers more powers to impose tougher discipline, replacing heads in schools that are under-performing, reforming school league tables to reward rigour, getting rid of low-value qualifications in soft subjects and paying more to get top maths and science graduates into teaching, is because I want the scandalously high number of children who have been let down by poor schools to be given a proper education at last.
The children in our poorest schools are, overwhelmingly, from our poorest homes. Many of them will have the talent to rise to the very top. To become business leaders, academics, surgeons and headteachers.
But they will achieve their full potential only if we ditch, once and for all, the dismally defeatist mindset which believes that, in education, second-best is good enough.

- Does SSD Improve Performance?
- SSD vs HDD Gaming Performance Comparison
- Do You Need an SSD for Gaming?
- Conclusion
SSDs are awesome – definitely way better than mechanical hard drives in terms of read and write speeds.
But will an SSD improve FPS?
The simple answer is no. An SSD will not improve your FPS in games, except in the very rare instance in which a game may load textures straight from storage instead of the widely accepted VRAM loading. However, an SSD will improve performance on many other fronts.
With that being said, in this post, we’re going to be discussing whether or not an SSD is worth it for gaming in 2020 and beyond.
Let’s dive in:
Does SSD Improve Performance?
We’re sure all of you Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Grand Theft Auto V players out there will understand the pain of an excruciatingly long loading screen. An SSD can help with that.
Solid-state storage, unlike traditional mechanical hard drives, contains no moving parts (source).
This lack of moving parts not only increases the lifespan of your storage device but gives these drives unrivaled speed thanks to its NAND flash memory.
By storing its data amongst microchips, SSDs provide a much quicker solution while also creating less chance to fail.
Unlike SSDs, Hard Disk Drives use a mechanical arm to read and write data onto a storage disk.
This process is much slower, and movement of the drive can even go as far as to break it entirely.
As SSDs further in technology, they will only get faster. Current top-end SATA SSDs, such as the Samsung 860 Evo 1TB, reach up to 550MB/s read speeds and 520MB/s write speeds, while M.2 SSDs like the WD Black SN750 harbor 3,470MB/s read speeds and 3,000MB/s write speeds.
SSD vs HDD Gaming Performance Comparison
You always hear people flaunting their SSDs’ speed and how amazingly superior they are when compared to traditional mass storage HDDs, but really how much better could they be?
When a standard 1TB HDD will run you around $40USD, a 500GB SSD might run you upwards of $60USD.
To put an end to all of the guessings, we’ve selected two of the most popular storage solutions of the year to place head to head in the battle of raw speed.
The Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB HDD versus the Samsung 860 Evo 1TB SSD… FIGHT!
We hope you were expecting that kind of blowout. It’s really no contest.
The much newer and advanced technology of SSDs allows them to easily surpass their mechanical counterparts by a large measure since HDDs have been using the same altered formula since conception.
Hybrids
One other thing we would like to cover briefly is hybrid storage options.
What is a ‘hybrid drive’, you might ask? Is it some power-saving alternative like a hybrid vehicle? Not necessarily, or at all really.
Here’s what a hybrid drive does:
In short, it mixes the cheap, high capacity of a mechanical drive with the blistering speed of a solid-state drive. It’s done in a fairly easy manner too.
If you’ve ever heard of Intel Optane memory (caching drives) it’s basically the same concept, except it’s built into the drive.
Hybrid drives contain the regular structure and moving parts of a mechanical hard drive, but it also contains a high-speed NAND flash memory cache that will ‘memorize’ your most frequently used applications for quicker access.
This allows for these hard-drive-like storage solutions to give great performance and high capacities.
Despite how amazing these hybrid drives seem we wouldn’t suggest them for anything other than laptop computers, as the limited upgradability of a laptop is the only thing saving hybrids from the bin.
Do You Need an SSD for Gaming?
Well, do you need an SSD for gaming? Again it comes down to preference.
Would you like to load games at amazing speeds, and by extension, complete your objectives much quicker?
It’d seem like getting an SSD would be the obvious option, and you’d be hard-pressed to find anyone who doesn’t agree.
The only real opposition would be price. Though, that doesn’t seem like it will be much of an issue, at least with the current state of the market.
In fact, I was able to include 500GB SSD in my 600 dollar gaming PC build. For just $600, it’s an absolute monster of a gaming PC, maxing out games in 1080p with ease.
If you’re a fan of gaming PC builds, you should definitely check it out!
SSD prices are at an all-time low and we highly suggest picking one up before prices go back to their screwy 2017-2018 state.
Seeing as, on average, a 1TB SSD would run you about $90USD to $100USD, you’ve really got a big choice to make.
So, how about we look at some benchmarks to help you decide?
Once again, the SSD proves its superiority in speed over that of the HDD, but that was to be expected.
The real challenge is whether or not it would be worth it to spend the extra $50-60USD for such performance, especially when you could get a much higher capacity 4TB 7200RPM mechanical drive for less than the price of a 1TB SSD.
Crunching the actually numbers tells us that the 1TB SSD does have a slight advantage in price to performance over the 1TB HDD, so it could be said that it’s justified.
Though, we can’t exactly say the same once we add an extra 3TB for less than two times the price of the original 1TB HDD.
So, while saying an SSD is needed for gaming is a bit of an overstatement, you are still getting extraordinary performance per dollar (on the current market) along with amazing loading times for your games.
You could even use the SSD for productivity, right? Who are we kidding, you probably wouldn’t.
Conclusion
In conclusion, an SSD will not generally improve your FPS in video games but it will, however, provide many other benefits.
While maybe your graphics card is to blame for your low FPS, a new SSD wouldn’t hurt for improving your loading times in games and other applications while also providing amazing file transfer speeds.
We, once again, highly suggest buying at the very least a low capacity SSD for your Windows or Linux PC, at boot times can be a menace when trying to complete a task quickly.
It’ll even leave some room for some of your most-used applications.
This will ensure you a smooth browsing experience, while also allowing a mass storage HDD some extra room to breathe.

Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo http://www.ram.org/ramblings/movies/deuce_bigalow_male_gigolo.html
/Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo/ is a low-brow comedy not quite up to the scale of an /Austin Powers/, /There's Something About Mary/ or /Dumb and Dumber/, but it is on par with a /Big Daddy/.
As is usually the case, the movie is a bunch of one-screen gags strung together in the hope of making the audience laugh continually. Because of the great mood I was in, this generally worked. The plot is just a showcase for the gags: Deuce (/Saturday Night Live/'s Rob Schneider) is a fish tank cleaner who ends up being responsible for taking care of the apartment of Antoine (Oded Fehr), a male prostitute.  Needless to say, Deuce begins to sell his "services" to pay for the damage. This results in a somewhat hilarious sequence of episodes where Deuce finally realises his niche in life and finds true love.
/Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo/ has its high spots. In particular, the parody of /The Matrix/ is pretty hilarious. The main politically incorrect focus of the film is primarily on physically handicapped people who are, in a way, outcasts of society. Deuce's services involve making these people feel "normal" again and this is done by taking some risk (of offending the audience) which I appreciated. Generally though, the one-track nature of this approach became tiresome after a while.
The trailer is a bit misleading compared to what actually happens in the film (like in the trailer for /Go/) which can be interesting, as is the novel way the Tourette's syndrome problem is handled. /Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo/ wil induce a few laughs if you're in the right mood. Worth renting.

This specification defines allowed values and expected behaviors for the contenteditable attribute. This specification builds on HTML5.
The contenteditable attribute is an enumerated attribute whose keywords are the empty string (""), "plaintext-only", "typing", "true", and "false".
The empty string and the "true" keyword map to the true
state. The other keywords map to their respective states.
There is one additional state, the inherit
state, which is the missing value default (and the invalid value default).
The behaviors of the true
state and the plaintext-only
state are unspecified and the use of the "true" and "plaintext-only" keywords is deprecated.
The false
state indicates that the element is not editable.
The typing
state is specified below.
The inherit
state indicates that the element has the state of its parent.
The contentEditable IDL attribute, on getting, must return the string "true" if the content attribute is set to the true
state,
"false" if the content attribute is set to the false
state, "plaintext-only" if the content attribute is set to the plaintext-only
state,
"typing" if the content attribute is set to the typing
state, and "inherit" otherwise.
On setting, if the new value is an ASCII case-insensitive match for the string "inherit" then the content attribute must be removed,
if the new value is an ASCII case-insensitive match for the string "true" then the content attribute must be set to the string "true",
if the new value is an ASCII case-insensitive match for the string "false" then the content attribute must be set to the string "false",
and otherwise the attribute setter must throw a SyntaxError exception.
The isContentEditable IDL attribute, on getting, must return true if the element is either an editing host or editable, and false otherwise.
The typing

Skoda Octavia RS Rendered To Spice Up The Roomy Liftback
The supersized Golf GTI will be out in 2020.
by Adrian PadeanuGranted, the Skoda Octavia isn’t exactly the world’s most exciting car, but it does have a lot going for it in the RS guise. It carries over the immense practicality of the standard version and throws into the mix some hot hatch attributes to create a well-rounded package, especially when you take into consideration the availability of all-wheel drive. A new version will be revealed next year, although we have a feeling it won’t be available in all 100+ markets where Skodas is sold until early 2021, just in time for the Octavia RS’ 20th anniversary.
Update:
X-Tomi Design has decided to see into the future of the Octavia RS by rendering the Volkswagen Golf GTI’s Czech cousin, although the rendering is not entirely accurate. We’re expecting the real deal to look slightly more aggressive than this and boast the revised RS logo that debuted on the Kodiaq RS a little over a year ago with a red “V” symbol. Skoda might take some of the sharp lines of the Vision RS concept and adapt them for the Octavia RS’ bumpers, which will represent the biggest visual changes on the outside compared to the standard car. A fresh set of wheels is also expected to round off the new look.
Gallery: 2021 Skoda Octavia RS wagon spy photos
The adjacent design exercise shows the liftback, but the more practical Combi has already been spied undergoing testing, so it’s definitely coming. Both are due to use an uprated version of the 2.0 TSI gasoline engine with close to 250 horsepower if the rumor mill is accurate, but there’s also going to be diesel with ample torque.
The regular Octavia already has a 2.0 TDI with 197 horsepower and 400 Newton-meters (295 pound-feet) of torque for the all-wheel-drive version equipped with the seven-speed DSG, and it would make sense for the RS to pump up those output numbers furthermore. We’ll probably learn about the Octavia RS TDI’s technical specs once the Golf GTD will debut in 2020, presumably ahead of the equivalent Skoda.
Get Up To Speed With The Octavia 4:
If the new Octavia RS will be anything like its predecessor, only the diesel-powered version will get the AWD treatment. Should you want the gasoline mill with the all-paw system, you’ll have to step up to the VW Golf R or the Cupra Leon ST also coming next year.

The timepicker module creates a SKY UX-themed input field and picker for users to enter or select times.
Use timepickers when users need to specify the time of day.
Use two timepickers when users need to specify start and stop times.
Don't use timepickers when users need to specify general durations or time spans. Use radio buttons or HTML select fields instead.
Use the 12-hour option for regions and users that use 12-hour time designations. This allows users to select hours, minutes, and "AM" or "PM".
Use the 24-hour option for regions and users that use 24-hour time designations. This allows users to select hours and minutes.
Users can use the keyboard to enter time values in the input field. Times automatically resolve to the correct format when the field loses focus.
Use 1/2- or 1/3-width columns for individual timepicker fields inside modals, except when using small (300px) modals. When using two timepickers for start and stop times, use 10px of horizontal space between them.
The timepicker module contains directives to create a SKY UX-themed replacement for the HTML


England in New Zealand: Bowlers fail to fire as tour match ends in draw
| Tour match, Cobham Oval, Whangarei (day two of two): |
|---|
| England 376-5: Sibley 100, Crawley 103 |
| New Zealand XI 285-5: Allen 104, Bhula 61, Patel 56* |
| Match drawn |
| Scorecard |
England's bowlers failed to impress as the two-day tour match against a New Zealand XI ended in a draw.
After reaching 285-3 on day one, the tourists finally declared on 376-5 at the Cobham Oval in Whangarei.
New Zealand under-19 batsman Finn Allen hit a classy century in reply before retiring out as his side ended on 285-5, with only England fast bowler Jofra Archer taking more than one wicket.
England's first Test against New Zealand begins on 21 November.
With all-rounder Ben Stokes back bowling after injury prevented him from doing so in the final Ashes Test against Australia, England are expected to pick between Chris Woakes and Sam Curran for a spot in the starting XI.
Both opened the bowling and Woakes failed to take a wicket in conceding 28 runs off 10 overs, while Curran took 1-33 off nine overs.
Stuart Broad took an economical 1-15 off nine overs, Archer was expensive in claiming 2-46 off 11 overs and slow left-armer Jack Leach, leg-spinner Matt Parkinson and Stokes all could not claim a wicket.
"As a first run out, I was a little bit rusty, but with not having bowled a huge amount in the last six weeks I was relatively pleased," Woakes told Test Match Special.
"I'd like to think I've got a good chance of making the Test team but there are a few other guys knocking on the door - myself and Sam played in the last Test so I suppose we're looking at it between us.
"It's good to have that competition - I'll be coming out here to try and knock the door down to get in the team."
The hosts' Jakob Bhula made 61 before he was bowled by Curran, with Sandeep Patel adding an unbeaten 56.
Allen hit 10 fours and two sixes in a fluent knock, retiring out on 104 from 130 balls.
England Test captain Joe Root had earlier retired on 41, with Ollie Pope making 31 before Jos Buttler (38 not out) and Stokes (30 not out) set up the declaration.
England face New Zealand in two Tests but the series does not count towards the ICC World Test Championship.
The tourists continue their preparations against a more experienced New Zealand A side at the same venue in a three-day tour match, starting on Friday.

Information about the number of schools, teachers, students, education policy and budget given to schools.
The number of pupils and schools in England is published as part of the annual statistical first release ‘Schools, pupils and their characteristics’ . The latest data is for January 2012.
Table 2a shows that, in January 2012, there were 8.2 million pupils attending 24,372 schools in England (including nursery schools, state-funded primary schools, state-funded secondary schools, special schools, pupil referral units and independent schools.)
The number of teachers in schools in England is published as part of the annual statistical first release ‘School workforce in England’ . The latest data is for November 2011. Table 1 shows that, in November 2011, there were 438,000 teachers in state-funded schools in England on a full-time equivalent basis. In response to the questions relating to education policy, the structure of the department and school funding.
The Department for Education, alongside other government departments, has published a business plan covering its vision, government priorities, structural reform plans, departmental expenditure and information on how it is going to become more transparent.
The ‘ Department for Education business plan: 2012 to 2015 ’ is refreshed annually to reflect the latest priorities.
The Education Funding Agency ( EFA ) is the department’s delivery agency for funding and compliance. The agency provides revenue and capital funding for education for learners between the ages of 3 and 19, or the ages of 3 and 25 for those with learning difficulties and disabilities. Information about the EFA is available online.


In 2010 the Intuit Tax Development organization - the programmers & accountants that build the internal logic of TurboTax - needed to revamp their build system. In my role as an Innovation Catalyst, I facilitated the problem definition and goal setting for the project.
The software build system for the tax code of TurboTax was stretched to the breaking point. It had grown complex, unwieldy, and fragile, due to the types of bugs, inefficiencies and workarounds that collect over time in any toolset that continues to 'work'.
Developers waiting too long for builds, and due to the opaque nature of the process, people were frequently 'breaking' the build which slowed everyone down ever more. Our goal was to make the system fast, transparent, and robust again, while teaching innovation practices to the team.
Complexity. The code base of TurboTax is one the biggest in software. It contains logic for 70,000+ pages of Federal tax law (PLUS 45 states), wrapped in a step-by-step interface, and published on web, iOS, Android, Mac, and Windows platforms.
Availability. That code is worked on simultaneously by hundreds of tax programmers and engineers across dozens of teams at multiple locations, each needing to build fully-testable software at any time – multiple times a day.
Due diligence. A system like that is unavoidably complex and deceptively interdependent, and the kind of changes we needed to make demanded rigor and caution. Measure twice, measure twice again, then cut.
Teamwork. The initiate happened over 5-6 weeks, involving a cross-functional team with everyone from design, research, quality assurance, tax domain experts, engineering, and senior management. Everyone contributed, everyone took ownership.
Kick-off. The session framed the problem in human terms, reaffirmed our efforts were ultimately towards our customers, then modeled the best practices, tasks and behaviors the teams were to expect over the course of the project.
Process adoption. Innovation Catalysts explicitly show what tools we are using, facilitate the exercise, then help teams to adopt the tools themselves. The goal is to teach teams to embrace these practices to tackle their other problems.
Exercises. The Innovation Catalyst program methodology is similar to the work of IDEO and Clayton Christensen, in that it uses iterative work to understand, break down, and validate the jobs people are actually trying to accomplish.
Outcomes. The project ended with the teams ultimately figuring out their own metrics for success, identifying the problem scope, cataloging all the possible fixes, prioritizing which ones to do, and then kicking off the development work.
Someone asked us Catalysts, 'What are our success metrics'? We looked at each other, shrugged, and said: 'You tell us?' The looks exchanged between team members indicated this was new, and very welcome.
Productivity. Tax developers gained roughly an hour of productivity back per day. The team ultimately changed the build system in a variety of places. The work varied, from light user interface changes in a web-based scripting tool, to deeply refactoring the internals of a critical system.
Satisfaction. The team members were inspired by the process. A few told me they were thrilled to have finally rid themselves of obstacles that had troubled them for years. Best of all, people started adopting Innovation Catalyst techniques to their own work.


{{+bindTo:partials.standard_nacl_article}}
NOTE:
Deprecation of the technologies described here has been announced
for platforms other than ChromeOS.
Please visit our
migration guide
for details.
This tutorial shows how to convert the finished PNaCl web application from Part 1 to use the Native Client SDK build system and common JavaScript files. It also demonstrates some techniques to make your web application Content Security Policy (CSP)-compliant, which is necessary for Chrome Apps.
Using the Native Client SDK build system makes it easy to build with all of the SDK toolchains, and switch between the Debug and Release configurations. It also simplifies the makefiles for your project, as we’ll see in the next section. Finally, it adds some useful commands for running and debugging your application.
The finished code for this example can be found in the
pepper_$(VERSION)/getting_started/part2
directory in the Native Client SDK
download.
This section describes how to use the SDK build system. To do so, we’ll make changes in the makefile. Because the makefile in part1 and part2 are so different, it is easier to start from scratch. Here is the contents of the new makefile. The following sections will describe it in more detail.
The makefile from part1 only supports one toolchain (PNaCl) and one configuration (Release). It also only supports one source file. It’s relatively simple, but if we want to add support for multiple toolchains, configurations, source files, or build steps, it would grow increasingly complex. The SDK build system uses a set of variables and macros to make this possible, without significantly increasing the complexity of the makefile.
Here is the new makefile, supporting three toolchains (PNaCl, Newlib NaCl, Glibc NaCl) and two configurations (Debug, Release).
VALID_TOOLCHAINS := pnacl clang-newlib glibc NACL_SDK_ROOT ?= $(abspath $(CURDIR)/../..) include $(NACL_SDK_ROOT)/tools/common.mk TARGET = part2 LIBS = ppapi_cpp ppapi CFLAGS = -Wall SOURCES = hello_tutorial.cc # Build rules generated by macros from common.mk: $(foreach src,$(SOURCES),$(eval $(call COMPILE_RULE,$(src),$(CFLAGS)))) # The PNaCl workflow uses both an unstripped and finalized/stripped binary. # On NaCl, only produce a stripped binary for Release configs (not Debug). ifneq (,$(or $(findstring pnacl,$(TOOLCHAIN)),$(findstring Release,$(CONFIG)))) $(eval $(call LINK_RULE,$(TARGET)_unstripped,$(SOURCES),$(LIBS),$(DEPS))) $(eval $(call STRIP_RULE,$(TARGET),$(TARGET)_unstripped)) else $(eval $(call LINK_RULE,$(TARGET),$(SOURCES),$(LIBS),$(DEPS))) endif $(eval $(call NMF_RULE,$(TARGET),))
The makefile begins by specifying the toolchains that are valid for this project. The Native Client SDK build system supports multi-toolchain projects for its examples and libraries, but generally you will choose one toolchain when you begin your project and never change it. Please see the Toolchains section of the Native Client overview for more information.
For this example, we support the pnacl
, clang-newlib
and glibc
toolchains.
VALID_TOOLCHAINS := pnacl clang-newlib glibc
Next, as a convenience, we specify where to find NACL_SDK_ROOT
. Because
this example is located in pepper_$(VERSION)/getting_started/part2
, the
root of the SDK is two directories up.
NACL_SDK_ROOT ?= $(abspath $(CURDIR)/../..)
Next, we include the file tools/common.mk
. This file provides the
functionality for the Native Client SDK build system, including new build rules
to compile and link a project, which we’ll use below.
include $(NACL_SDK_ROOT)/tools/common.mk
After including tools/common.mk
, we configure the project by specifying its
name, the sources and libraries it uses:
TARGET = part2 LIBS = ppapi_cpp ppapi CFLAGS = -Wall SOURCES = hello_tutorial.cc
These variable names are not required and not used by the SDK build system; they are only used in the rules described below. By convention, all SDK makefiles use the following variables:
part2
, which will generate an executable called
part2.pexe
for PNaCl. For NaCl toolchains, the executable’s file name
will be given a suffix for its architecture. For example, the ARM executable
is called part2_arm.nexe
.ppapi_cpp
and ppapi
. ppapi_cpp
is needed to use the Pepper C++ interface. ppapi
is needed for communicating
with the browser.-Wall
, which turns on all warnings.\
as a line-continuation character. Here’s an example:SOURCES = foo.cc \ bar.cc \ baz.cc \ quux.cc
For many projects, the following build macros do not need to be changed; they will use the variables we’ve defined above.
$(foreach src,$(SOURCES),$(eval $(call COMPILE_RULE,$(src),$(CFLAGS)))) ifneq (,$(or $(findstring pnacl,$(TOOLCHAIN)),$(findstring Release,$(CONFIG)))) $(eval $(call LINK_RULE,$(TARGET)_unstripped,$(SOURCES),$(LIBS),$(DEPS))) $(eval $(call STRIP_RULE,$(TARGET),$(TARGET)_unstripped)) else $(eval $(call LINK_RULE,$(TARGET),$(SOURCES),$(LIBS),$(DEPS))) endif $(eval $(call NMF_RULE,$(TARGET),))
The first line defines rules to compile each source in SOURCES
, using the
flags in CFLAGS
:
$(foreach src,$(SOURCES),$(eval $(call COMPILE_RULE,$(src),$(CFLAGS))))
The next six lines define rules to link the object files into one or more
executables. When TOOLCHAIN
is pnacl
, there is only one executable
generated: in the example above, part2.pexe
. When using a NaCl toolchain,
there will be three executables generated, one for each architecture: in the
example above, part2_arm.nexe
, part2_x86_32.nexe
and
part2_x86_64.nexe
.
When CONFIG
is Release
, each executable is also stripped to remove
debug information and reduce the file size. Otherwise, when the TOOLCHAIN
is pnacl
, the workflow involves creating an unstripped binary for debugging
and then finalizing it and stripping it for publishing.

Finally, the NMF rule generates a NaCl manifest file (.nmf
) that references
each executable generated in the previous step:
$(eval $(call NMF_RULE,$(TARGET),))
This section describes the changes necessary to make the HTML and JavaScript in part1 CSP-compliant. This is required if you want to build a Chrome App, but is not necessary if you want to use PNaCl on the open web.
Chrome Apps CSP restricts you from doing the following:

common.js
has shared code used by all SDK examples, and is described
later in this document. example.js
is a script that has code specific to
this example.
We also need to remove the inline event handler on the body tag:
 ...
This logic is now handled by common.js
.
Finally, there are a few changes to index.html
that are not necessary for
CSP-compliance, but help make the SDK examples more generic.
First, we add some data attributes
to the body element to specify the name, supported toolchains, supported
configurations, and path to the .nmf
file:
 ...
common.js
will read these data attributes to allow you to load the same
example with different toolchains by changing the URL’s query string. For example, you can load the
glibc Debug version of this example by navigating to
index.html?tc=glibc&config=Debug
. Path URI’s such as ../
, for example
do not work for either the data-path parameter or its corresponding query
string.
Next, we remove the embed
element that is described in HTML. This will be
automatically added for us by common.js
, based on the current
toolchain/configuration combination:

common.js
contains JavaScript code that each example uses to create a
NaCl module, handle messages from that module and other common tasks like
displaying the module load status and logging messages. Explaining all of
common.js
is outside the scope of this document, but please look at the
documentation in that file for more information.
Since we’ve added
