A range of children’s social care settings will be subject to the same
social care common inspection framework (SCCIF)
from 1 April 2017, Ofsted announced today.
Last year Ofsted published a
consultation on the principles for children’s social care inspections
, with a new common inspection framework and proposals for a new approach to the inspection of local authority children’s services. The online consultation received more than 200 responses, the vast majority of which supported the proposals. Ofsted also piloted the SCCIF and held face-to-face meetings with many interested people and groups.
From 1 April, the following three principles will link all our inspections of children’s social care providers:
-
to focus on the things that matter most to children’s lives
-
to be consistent in our expectations of providers
-
to prioritise our work where improvement is needed most
At present there are several variations in the inspection guidance for social care providers across the range of settings, and differences in the criteria used by Ofsted to make judgements on each type of service.
The experiences and progress of children are central to the new SCCIF. The framework will support inspectors to focus on the difference the provider makes to the lives of children and other service users.
The SCCIF does not mean a one-size-fits-all approach to inspection. The framework is tailored to reflect and address each distinct type of children’s social care provider. These are:
-
children’s homes, including secure children’s homes
-
independent fostering agencies
-
voluntary adoption agencies
-
residential family centres
-
residential holiday schemes for disabled children
-
boarding schools and residential special schools
-
the residential provision of further education colleges
-
adoption support agencies
Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector, Amanda Spielman, said:
Ofsted and social care professionals have a shared goal: to give all children the best possible chance in life. The intention of our three principles is exactly this. I am pleased that sector leaders and providers responded so positively to our consultation on the framework, and we will continue to engage with them as we implement and evaluate it.
Eleanor Schooling, Ofsted National Director of Social Care, said:
The SCCIF is an important step forward in Ofsted setting out clearly and consistently what we think matters most to children’s lives wherever they live or receive help.
For the first time, we are setting out the same expectations for all social care establishments and agencies while still recognising the unique work that they do. We think this not only makes it clearer and more consistent for providers but also sets out how our inspections will consistently focus on the difference providers are making to children’s lives.
Ofsted also sets out its future plans for the inspection of local authority children’s services. These plans will be subject to piloting over the coming months, ready for implementation in January 2018. This will introduce proportionate inspections every three years, with a graded judgement, and focused visits between inspections to evaluate strengths and weaknesses and support local authorities to deliver good and better services.

CFL The Lions are also the only Western Canadian team to have won the Grey Cup at home, having done so in 1994 and 2011, while also becoming the only team to beat an American-based franchise in a championship game . The BC Lions are a professional Canadian football team competing in the West Division of the Canadian Football League (CFL). Based in Vancouver, British Columbia, the Lions play their home games at BC Place in Downtown Vancouver, having previously played at Empire Stadium in East Vancouver from 1954 to 1982. The bc lions stats for this year 2013 is Wins 11 / Losses 7. Geroy Simon only needs 66 yards catching to break Milt Stegall's CFL record for most career receiving yards. If he does break the record, let's see if there's going to be any kind of ceremony. Although in the past such small ceremonies involving record breakers are not too memorable for the most part.
In 2006, kicker Paul McCallum booted six field goals to set a new team Grey Cup record and help secure the Lions' fifth championship victory in club history.

public class MWRevisionFactory
This class is a factory for the revisions. It is used for two main purposes :
The first goal was to extract the processing of the string the parser gives us out of the parser itself, thus making the parsers code much more readable. It also makes the parser's code more robust, since you don't have to dig into it when you find the need to modify how you handle the timestamps for example.
The second goal was to allow the building of revisions as immutable objects. This way, we can make the MWRevision object's fields public, thus avoiding the needs of verbose getters to access the data, while making sure the state of the object remains untouched.
Only a subset of the data available in the XML files we process is considered. For more information on this you should read the wiki.

Bitmap Utiliteis
Under extra/common/bitmap_utils.fs
there is optional code for supporting additional bitmap operations, particularly line and circle-drawing.
bitmap-utils
The bitmap-utils
module contains the following words:
draw-pixel-line
( constant x0 y0 x1 y1 op dst-bitmap – )
This draws a pixel line with drawing operation op on dst-bitmap from (x0, *y0) to (x1, y1) using the constant value as used by bitmap::draw-pixel-const
.
draw-rect-line
( constant width height x0 y0 x1 y1 op dst-bitmap – )
This draws a line with a rectangular pen of width and height with drawing operation op on dst-bitmap from (x0, y0) to (x1, y1) with the pen centered on the line using the constant value as used by bitmap::draw-rect-const
. Note that the drawing operation op-xor
is not recommended because it will most likely give undesirable results.
draw-bitmap-line
( src-x src-y width height x0 y0 x1 y1 op src-bitmap dst-bitmap –)
This draws a line with the rectangle from (src-x, src-y) to (src-x + width, src-y + height) in src-bitmap as a pen with drawing operation op on dst-bitmap from (x0, y0) to (x1, y1) with the pen centered on the line. Note that the drawing operation op-xor
is not recommended because it will most likely give undesirable results. The same may be true of op-set
in some cases as well.
draw-pixel-circle
( constant x y radius op dst-bitmap – )
This draws an unfilled pixel circle with drawing operation op on dst-bitmap centered at (x, y) with radius using the constant value as used by *bitmap::draw-pixel-const`.
draw-rect-circle
( constant width height x y radius op dst-bitmap – )
This draws an unfilled circle with a rectangular pen of width and height with drawing operation op on dst-bitmap centered at (x, y) with radius with the pen centered on the edge of the circle using the constant value as used by bitmap::draw-rect-const
. Note that the drawing operation op-xor
is not recommended because it will most likely give undesirable results.
draw-bitmap-circle
( src-x src-y width height x y radius op src-bitmap dst-bitmap –)
This draws an unfilled circle with the rectangle from (src-x, src-y) to (src-x + width, src-y + height) in src-bitmap as a pen with drawing operation op on dst-bitmap centered at (x, y) with radius with the pen centered on the edge of the circle. Note that the drawing operation op-xor
is not recommended because it will most likely give undesirable results. The same may be true of op-set
in some cases as well.
draw-filled-circle
( constant x y radius op dst-bitmap – )
This draws a filled pixel circle with drawing operation op on dst-bitmap centered at (x, y) with radius using the constant value as used by *bitmap::draw-pixel-const`.

Our mission is to match undergraduate students, particularly freshmen, with the academic resources on campus that will help them succeed.
Our product space focuses on undergraduate students on campus, particularly underclassmen, who do not use the academic resources available to them. These resources are underused in part because there is no central portal where students can find them. There is also the problem of the stigma associated with needing help and of perceived ineffectivness of academic resources.
Our target users are undergraduates, particularly freshman and other new students.


1. Why Python for Finance
Banks are essentially technology firms.
1.1. Finance and Python Syntax
Most people who make their first steps with Python in a finance context may attack an algorithmic problem. This is similar to a scientist who, for example, wants to solve a differential equation, wants to evaluate an integral or simply wants to visualize some data. In general, at this stage, there is only little thought spent on topics like a formal development process, testing, documentation or deployment. However, this especially seems to be the stage when people fall in love with Python. A major reason for this might be that Python syntax is generally quite close to the mathematical syntax used to describe scientific problems or financial algorithms.
This aspect can be illustrated by a financial algorithm, namely the valuation of a European call option by Monte Carlo simulation. The example considers a Black-Scholes-Merton (BSM) setup in which the option’s underlying risk factor follows a geometric Brownian motion.
Assume the following numerical parameter values for the valuation:
-
initial stock index level \(S_0 = 100\)
-
strike price of the European call option \(K = 105\)
-
time-to-maturity \(T = 1\) year
-
constant, riskless short rate \(r = 0.05\)
-
constant volatility \(\sigma = 0.2\)
In the BSM model, the index level at maturity is a random variable, given by Black-Scholes-Merton (1973) index level at maturity with \(z\) being a standard normally distributed random variable.
The following is an algorithmic description of the Monte Carlo valuation procedure:
-
draw \(I\) pseudo-random numbers \(z(i), i \in \{1, 2, ..., I \}\), from the standard normal distribution
-
calculate all resulting index levels at maturity \(S_T(i)\) for given \(z(i)\) and Black-Scholes-Merton (1973) index level at maturity
-
calculate all inner values of the option at maturity as \(h_T(i)= \max \left(S_T(i) - K, 0 \right)\)
-
estimate the option present value via the Monte Carlo estimator as given in Monte Carlo estimator for European option
This problem and algorithm is now to be translated into Python code. The code below implements the required steps.
In [1]: import math
import numpy as np (1)
In [2]: S0 = 100. (2)
K = 105. (2)
T = 1.0 (2)
r = 0.05 (2)
sigma = 0.2 (2)
In [3]: I = 100000 (2)
In [4]: np.random.seed(1000) (3)
In [5]: z = np.random.standard_normal(I) (4)
In [6]: ST = S0 * np.exp((r - sigma ** 2 / 2) * T + sigma * math.sqrt(T) * z) (5)
In [7]: hT = np.maximum(ST - K, 0) (6)
In [8]: C0 = math.exp(-r * T) * np.mean(hT) (7)
In [9]: print('Value of the European call option: {:5.3f}.'.format(C0)) (8)
Value of the European call option: 8.019.
| 1 | The model and simulation parameter values are defined. |
| 2 | NumPy is used here as the main package. |
| 3 | The seed value for the random number generator is fixed. |
| 4 | Standard normally distributed random numbers are drawn. |
| 5 | End-of-period values are simulated. |
| 6 | The option payoffs at maturity are calculated. |
| 7 | The Monte Carlo estimator is evaluated. |
| 8 | The resulting value estimate is printed. |
Three aspects are worth highlighting:
- syntax
-
the Python syntax is indeed quite close to the mathematical syntax, e.g., when it comes to the parameter value assignments
- translation
-
every mathematical and/or algorithmic statement can generally be translated into a single line of Python code
- vectorization
-
one of the strengths of
NumPy
is the compact, vectorized syntax, e.g., allowing for 100,000 calculations within a single line of code
This code can be used in an interactive environment like IPython
or Jupyter Notebook
. However, code that is meant to be reused regularly typically gets organized in so-called modules (or scripts), which are single Python files (technically text files) with the suffix .py
. Such a module could in this case look like Monte Carlo valuation of European call option and could be saved as a file named bsm_mcs_euro.py
.

I = 100000 # number of simulations
# Valuation Algorithm
z = np.random.standard_normal(I) # pseudo-random numbers
# index values at maturity
ST = S0 * np.exp((r - 0.5 * sigma ** 2) * T + sigma * math.sqrt(T) * z)
hT = np.maximum(ST - K, 0) # payoff at maturity
C0 = math.exp(-r * T) * np.mean(hT) # Monte Carlo estimator
# Result Output
print('Value of the European call option %5.3f.' % C0)
The algorithmic example in this subsection illustrates that Python, with its very syntax, is well suited to complement the classic duo of scientific languages, English and mathematics. It seems that adding Python
to the set of scientific languages makes it more well rounded. One then has:
-
English for writing, talking about scientific and financial problems, etc.
-
Mathematics for concisely, exactly describing and modeling abstract aspects, algorithms, complex quantities, etc.
-
Python for technically modeling and implementing abstract aspects, algorithms, complex quantities, etc.

Mathematics and Python Syntax
There is hardly any programming language that comes as close to mathematical syntax as Python. Numerical algorithms are therefore in general straightforward to translate from the mathematical representation into the |
In some areas, it is common practice to use pseudo-code and therewith to introduce a fourth language family member. The role of pseudo-code is to represent, for example, financial algorithms in a more technical fashion that is both still close to the mathematical representation and already quite close to the technical implementation. In addition to the algorithm itself, pseudo-code takes into account how computers work in principle.
This practice generally has its cause in the fact that with most (compiled) programming languages the technical implementation is quite “far away” from its formal, mathematical representation. The majority of programming languages make it necessary to include so many elements that are only technically required that it is hard to see the equivalence between the mathematics and the code.
Nowadays, Python is often used in a pseudo-code way since its syntax is almost analogous to the mathematics and since the technical “overhead” is kept to a minimum. This is accomplished by a number of high-level concepts embodied in the language that not only have their advantages but also come in general with risks and/or other costs. However, it is safe to say that with Python you can, whenever the need arises, follow the same strict implementation and coding practices that other languages might require from the outset. In that sense, Python can provide the best of both worlds: high-level abstraction and rigorous implementation.
1.2. Efficiency and Productivity Through Python
At a high level, benefits from using Python can be measured in three dimensions:
- efficiency
-
how can Python help in getting results faster, in saving costs, and in saving time?
- productivity
-
how can Python help in getting more done with the same resources (people, assets, etc.)?
- quality
-
what does Python allow to do that alternative technologies do not allow for?
A discussion of these aspects can by nature not be exhaustive. However, it can highlight some arguments as a starting point.
1.2.1. Shorter Time-to-Results
A field where the efficiency of Python becomes quite obvious is interactive data analytics. This is a field that benefits tremendously from such powerful tools as IPython
, Jupyter Notebook
and packages like pandas
.
Consider a finance student, writing her master’s thesis and interested in S&P 500 index values. She wants to analyze historical index levels for, say, a few years to see how the volatility of the index has fluctuated over time. She wants to find evidence that volatility, in contrast to some typical model assumptions, fluctuates over time and is far from being constant. The results should also be visualized. She mainly has to do the following:
-
retrieve index level data from the web
-
calculate the annualized rolling standard deviation of the log returns (volatility)
-
plot the index level data and the volatility results
These tasks are complex enough that not too long ago one would have considered them to be something for professional financial analysts only. Today, even the finance student can easily cope with such problems. The code below shows how exactly this works — without worrying about syntax details at this stage (everything is explained in detail in subsequent chapters).
In [11]: import numpy as np (1)
import pandas as pd (1)
from pylab import plt, mpl (2)
In [12]: plt.style.use('seaborn') (2)
mpl.rcParams['font.family'] = 'serif' (2)
%matplotlib inline
In [13]: data = pd.read_csv('http://hilpisch.com/tr_eikon_eod_data.csv',
index_col=0, parse_dates=True) (3)
data = pd.DataFrame(data['.SPX']) (4)
data.dropna(inplace=True) (4)
data.info() (5)
<class 'pandas.core.frame.DataFrame'>
DatetimeIndex: 2138 entries, 2010-01-04 to 2018-06-29
Data columns (total 1 columns):
.SPX 2138 non-null float64
dtypes: float64(1)
memory usage: 33.4 KB
In [14]: data['rets'] = np.log(data / data.shift(1)) (6)
data['vola'] = data['rets'].rolling(252).std() * np.sqrt(252) (7)
In [15]: data[['.SPX', 'vola']].plot(subplots=True, figsize=(10, 6)); (8)
plt.savefig('../images/spx_volatility.png')
| 1 | This imports NumPy and pandas . |
| 2 | This imports matplotlib and configures the plotting style and approach for Jupyter . |
| 3 | pd.read_csv() allows the retrieval of remotely or locally stored data sets in CSV form. |
| 4 | A sub-set of the data is picked and NaN ("not a number") values eliminated. |
| 5 | This shows some meta-information about the data set. |
| 6 | The log returns are calculated in vectorized fashion (“no looping” on the Python level). |
| 7 | The rolling, annualized volatility is derived. |
| 8 | This finally plots the two time series. |
S&P 500 closing values and annualized volatility shows the graphical result of this brief interactive session. It can be considered almost amazing that a few lines of code suffice to implement three rather complex tasks typically encountered in financial analytics: data gathering, complex and repeated mathematical calculations as well as visualization of the results. The example illustrates that pandas
makes working with whole time series almost as simple as doing mathematical operations on floating-point numbers.
Translated to a professional finance context, the example implies that financial analysts can — when applying the right Python tools and packages that provide high-level abstractions — focus on their very domain and not on the technical intrinsicalities. Analysts can react faster, providing valuable insights almost in real-time and making sure they are one step ahead of the competition. This example of increased efficiency can easily translate into measurable bottom-line effects.
1.2.2. Ensuring High Performance
In general, it is accepted that Python has a rather concise syntax and that it is relatively efficient to code with. However, due to the very nature of Python being an interpreted language, the prejudice persists that Python often is too slow for compute-intensive tasks in finance. Indeed, depending on the specific implementation approach, Python can be really slow. But it does not have to be slow — it can be highly performing in almost any application area. In principle, one can distinguish at least three different strategies for better performance:
- idioms and paradigms
-
in general, many different ways can lead to the same result in Python, but sometimes with rather different performance characteristics; “simply” choosing the right way (e.g., a specific implementation approach, such as the judicious use of data structures, avoiding loops through vectorization or the use of a specific package such as
pandas
) can improve results significantly - compiling
-
nowadays, there are several performance packages available that provide compiled versions of important functions or that compile Python code statically or dynamically (at runtime or call time) to machine code, which can make such functions orders of magnitude faster than pure Python code; popular ones are
Cython
andNumba
- parallelization
-
many computational tasks, in particular in finance, can significantly benefit from parallel execution; this is nothing special to Python but something that can easily be accomplished with it
|
Performance Computing with Python
Python per se is not a high-performance computing technology. However, Python has developed into an ideal platform to access current performance technologies. In that sense, Python has become something like a glue language for performance computing technologies. |
Later chapters illustrate all three strategies in detail. This sub-section sticks to a simple, but still realistic, example that touches upon all three strategies. A quite common task in financial analytics is to evaluate complex mathematical expressions on large arrays of numbers. To this end, Python itself provides everything needed.
In [16]: import math
loops = 2500000
a = range(1, loops)
def f(x):
return 3 * math.log(x) + math.cos(x) ** 2
%timeit r = [f(x) for x in a]
1.21 s ± 8.27 ms per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1 loop each)
The Python interpreter needs about 1.4 seconds in this case to evaluate the function f
2,500,000 times. The same task can be implemented using NumPy
, which provides optimized (i.e., pre-compiled), functions to handle such array-based operations.
In [17]: import numpy as np
a = np.arange(1, loops)
%timeit r = 3 * np.log(a) + np.cos(a) ** 2
94.7 ms ± 1.55 ms per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 10 loops each)
Using NumPy
considerably reduces the execution time to about 80 milliseconds. However, there is even a package specifically dedicated to this kind of task. It is called numexpr
, for "`numerical expressions." It compiles the expression to improve upon the performance of the general NumPy
functionality by, for example, avoiding in-memory copies of ndarray
objects along the way.
In [18]: import numexpr as ne
ne.set_num_threads(1)
f = '3 * log(a) + cos(a) ** 2'
%timeit r = ne.evaluate(f)
37.5 ms ± 936 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 10 loops each)
Using this more specialized approach further reduces execution time to about 40 milliseconds. However, numexpr
also has built-in capabilities to parallelize the execution of the respective operation. This allows us to use multiple threads of a CPU.

%timeit r = ne.evaluate(f)
12.8 ms ± 300 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 100 loops each)
Parallelization brings execution time further down to below 15 milliseconds in this case, with four threads utilized. Overall, this is a performance improvement of more than 90 times. Note, in particular, that this kind of improvement is possible without altering the basic problem/algorithm and without knowing any detail about compiling or parallelization approaches. The capabilities are accessible from a high level even by non-experts. However, one has to be aware, of course, of which capabilities and options exist.
The example shows that Python provides a number of options to make more out of existing resources — i.e., to increase productivity. With the parallel approach, three times as many calculations can be accomplished in the same amount of time as compared to the sequential approach — in this case simply by telling Python to use multiple available CPU threads instead of just one.
1.3. Conclusions
Python as a language — and even more so as an ecosystem — is an ideal technological framework for the financial industry as whole and the individual working in finance alike. It is characterized by a number of benefits, like an elegant syntax, efficient development approaches and usability for prototyping as well as production. With its huge amount of available packages, libraries and tools, Python seems to have answers to most questions raised by recent developments in the financial industry in terms of analytics, data volumes and frequency, compliance and regulation, as well as technology itself. It has the potential to provide a single, powerful, consistent framework with which to streamline end-to-end development and production efforts even across larger financial institutions.
In addition, Python has become the programming language of choice for artificial intelligence in general and machine and deep learning in particular. Python is therefore both the right language for data-driven finance as well as for AI-first finance, two recent trends that are about to reshape finance and the financial industry in fundamental ways.

[gecode-users] Problem with MSI installer

Mon Feb 26 12:16:58 CET 2007
Hi,
Ive been trying to install Gecode 1.3.1 on my windows laptop at work
without much luck. The installer gets stuck on 'Computing Space
Requirements', yielding a 'Could not access network location 1' after a
while. Disconnecting the network cable allows me to continue but at the
end i am informed that i do not have enough disk space, even though i have
32GB free. The laptop in question runs Windows XP SP2. I also tried the
installer on two PC's at home, one running Vista and one Windows XP SP2,
both exhibit the same behavior.
While i could use the win32 binaries zip file, i would like to try out
Gecode/J which seems to only be available pre-compiled as part of the MSI
installer.
Regards,
Peter Tiedemann

2-4 Players, Ages 8+, 30 Minutes
Deck Building / Zoo Management
Monster Zoo is a casual deck building game. In Monster Zoo, you are a Zoo Keeper responsible for catching monsters from The Wild to build your Zoo. Other players are doing the same, so it’s a race to see who is the fastest and smartest Zoo Keeper.
Each turn you will be collecting new monsters, using monsters to help you catch even more monsters, and managing the monsters in your Zoo.
Players start with the same deck of cards. Over the course of the game, as you catch monsters, you will build a stronger and more resourceful deck. You will need to balance building a stronger deck along with building up your Zoo. Placing monster cards from your hand into your Zoo earns points, but monsters in your Zoo will no longer play an active role in your deck.
With over 30 unique monsters cards in the base game, there is a wide variety to the actions and combinations you’ll see during a typical game.
The first player to build a full Zoo wins!

The dynamics of electrons in plasmas is influenced by the coulomb collisions. The collision drag force is usually a decreasing function in electrons' velocity in the large velocity region, as shown in Fig. 1. If an electric field is applied to a plasma, a certain fraction of electrons will gain an energy such that the electric force on them exceeds the collision drag force and they will keep being accelerated. This process is called electron runaway[1].
We can define a critical velocity, , for which collision drag force balance the electric force, i.e.,
| (4) |
The creation rate (or birth rate) of runaways due to a dc electric field, called runaway rate, is defined as the ratio of number of particles which runaway in a ``collision time'', , to the number of particles which remain non-runaway. Runaway is a problem in velocity space. A runaway particle is created when it moves from the collision dominant region in velocity to the nearly collisionless region. For convenience, we use spherical coordinates, , to describe velocity space (axial symmetry is assumed). The electron distribution is initially Maxwellian. A dc electric filed in the direction of the axis of symmetry is applied to the plasma at the initial time. We choose an arbitrary velocity, denoted as . Under the influence of the collision and electric field, some electrons whose velocity is initially larger than may become smaller than , while some other electrons whose velocity is initially smaller than may become larger than . This process generates a flux across the spherical surface . For a larger enough , e.g., , the collisional influence on the electrons may be neglected, the dominant process is the acceleration or deceleration by the electric field. In the vicinity of the surface, the acceleration of electrons generates an out-flow flux across the surface while the deceleration generates an in-flow flux. The in-flow flux across the surface can be further neglected since there is few electrons initially in the region (since is initially Maxwellian and ). (Note that, at later time, some electrons enter the region through the acceleration by the electric field. However, since these particles are collisionless, they will keep being accelerated, with no chance to be decelerated to generate the in-flow flux.) In the next section, the out-going flux at the spherical surface, will be used to define the runaway rate.

Once upon a time there lived a man who had seven daughters. For a long time they dwelt quite happily at home together, then one morning the father called them all before him and said,
"Your mother and I are going on a journey, and as we do not know how long we may be away, you will find enough provisions in the house to last you three years. But see you do not open the door to anyone till we come home again."
"Very well, dear father," replied the girls.
For two years they never left the house or unlocked the door; but one day, when they had washed their clothes, and were spreading them out on the roof to dry, the girls looked down into the street where people were walking to and fro, and across to the market, with its stalls of fresh meat, vegetables, and other nice things.
"Come here," cried one. "It makes me quite hungry. Why should not we have our share? Let one of us go to the market, and buy meat and vegetables."
"Oh, we mustn't do that!" said the youngest. "You know our father forbade us to open the door till he came home again."
Then the eldest sister sprang at her and struck her, the second spit at her, the third abused her, the fourth pushed her, the fifth flung her to the ground, and the sixth tore her clothes. Then they left her lying on the floor, and went out with a basket.
In about an hour they came back with the basket full of meat and vegetables, which they put in a pot, and set on the fire, quite forgetting that the house door stood wide open. The youngest sister, however, took no part in all this, and when dinner was ready and the table laid, she stole softly out to the entrance hall, and hid herself behind a great cask which stood in one corner.
Now, while the other sisters were enjoying their feast, a witch passed by, and catching sight of the open door, she walked in.
"You must begin," answered she, "with the hand which struck my little sister."
So the witch gobbled her up, and when the last scrap had disappeared, she came to the second and asked,
"Where shall I begin on you, my fat bolster?"
And the second answered, "You must begin on my mouth, which spat on my sister."
And so on to the rest; and very soon the whole six had disappeared. And as the witch was eating the last mouthful of the last sister, the youngest, who had been crouching, frozen with horror, behind the barrel, ran out through the open door into the street. Without looking behind her, she hastened on and on, as fast as her feet would carry her, till she saw an ogre's castle standing in front of her. In a corner near the door she spied a large pot, and she crept softly up to it and pulled the cover over it, and went to sleep.
By–and–by the ogre came home. "Fee, Fo, Fum," cried he, "I smell the smell of a man. What ill fate has brought him here?" And he looked through all the rooms, and found nobody. "Where are you?" he called. "Do not be afraid, I will do you no harm."
But the girl was still silent.
"Come out, I tell you," repeated the ogre. "Your life is quite safe. If you are an old man, you shall be my father.  If your years are as many as mine, you shall be my brother.  If you are a young one, you shall be my daughter. If you are middle–aged, you shall be my wife. So come out, and fear nothing."
Then the maiden came out of her hiding–place, and stood before him.
Fear nothing," said the ogre again; and when he went away to hunt he left her to look after the house In the evening he returned, bringing with him hares, partridges, and gazelles, for the girl's supper; for himself he only cared for the flesh of men, which she cooked for him. He also gave into her charge the keys of six rooms, but the key of the seventh he kept himself.
And time passed on, and the girl and the ogre still lived together.
She called him "Father," and he called her "Daughter," and never once did he speak roughly to her.
One day the maiden said to him, "Father, give me the key of the upper chamber."
"No, my daughter," replied the ogre. "There is nothing there that is any use to you."
"But I want the key," she repeated again.
However the ogre took no notice, and pretended not to hear. The girl began to cry, and said to herself : "Tonight, when he thinks I am asleep, I will watch and see where he hides it'; and after she and the ogre had supped, she bade him good–night, and left the room. In a few minutes she –stole quietly back, and watched from behind a curtain. In a little while she saw the ogre take the key from his pocket, and hide it in a hole in the ground before he went to bed. And when all was still she took out the key, and went back to the house.
The next morning the ogre awoke with the first ray of light, and the first thing he did was to look for the key. It was gone, and he guessed at once what had become of it.
But instead of getting into a great rage, as most ogres would have done, he said to himself, "If I wake the maiden up I shall only frighten her. For to–day she shall keep the key, and when I return to–night it will be time enough to take it from her." So he went off to hunt.
The moment he was safe out of the way, the girl ran upstairs and opened the door of the room, which was quite bare. The one window was closed, and she threw back the lattice and looked out. Beneath lay a garden which belonged to the prince, and in the garden was an ox, who was drawing up water from the well all by himself–for there was nobody to be seen anywhere. The ox raised his head at the noise the girl made in opening the lattice, and said to her, 'Good morning, O daughter of Buk Ettemsuch!
These words so frightened the maiden that she burst into tears and ran out of the room. All day she wept, and when the ogre came home at night, no supper was ready for him.
"What are you crying for?" said he. "Where is my supper, and is it you who have opened the upper chamber?"
"Yes, I opened it," answered she.
"And what did the ox say to you?"
"He said, "Good morning, O daughter of Buk Ettemsuch.
"Well, to–morrow you can go to the window and say, "My father is feeding me up till I am nice and fat, but he does not mean to eat me. If I had one of your eyes I would use it for a mirror, and look at myself before and behind; and your girths should be loosened, and you should be blind–seven days and seven nights."
"All right," replied the girl, and the next morning, when the ox spoke to her, she answered him as she had been told, and he fell down straight upon the ground, and lay there seven days and seven nights. But the flowers in the garden withered, for there was no one to water them.
When the prince came into his garden he found nothing but yellow stalks; in the midst of them the ox was lying. With a blow from his sword he killed the animal, and, turning to his attendants, he said, "Go and fetch another ox!" And they brought in a great beast, and he drew the water out of the well, and the flowers revived, and the grass grew green again. Then the prince called his attendants and went away.
The next morning the girl heard the noise of the waterwheel, and she opened the lattice and looked out of the window.
"Good morning, O daughter of Buk Ettemsuch!" said the new ox.
And the maiden answered: "My father is feeding me up till I am nice and fat, but he does not mean to eat me. If I had one of your eyes I would use it for a mirror, and look at myself before and behind; and your girths should be loosened, and you should be blind–seven days and seven nights."
Directly she uttered these words the ox fell to the ground and lay there, seven days and seven nights. Then he arose and began to draw the water from the well. He had only turned the wheel once or twice, when the prince took it into his head to visit his garden and see how the new ox was getting on. When he entered the ox was working busily; but in spite of that the flowers and grass were dried up. And the prince drew his sword, and rushed at the ox to slay him, as he had done the other. But the ox fell on his knees and said,
My lord, only spare my life, and let me tell you how it happened."
"How what happened?" asked the prince.
"My lord, a girl looked out of that window and spoke a few words to me, and I fell to the ground. For seven days and seven nights I lay there, unable to move. But, O my lord, it is not given to us twice to behold beauty such as hers."
"It is a lie," said the prince. "An ogre dwells there. Is it likely that he keeps a maiden in his upper chamber?"
"Why not?" replied the ox. "But if , you come here at dawn tomorrow, and hide behind that tree, you will see for yourself."
"So I will," said the prince; "and if I find that you have not spoken truth, I will kill you."
The prince left the garden, and the ox went on with his work. Next morning the prince came early to the garden, and found the ox busy with the waterwheel.
"Has the girl appeared yet?" he asked.
"Not yet; but she will not be long. Hide yourself in the branches of that tree, and you will soon see her."
The prince did as he was told, and scarcely was he seated when the maiden threw open the lattice.
"Good morning, O daughter of Buk Ettemsuch!" said the ox.
"My father is feeding me up till I am nice and fat, but he does not mean to eat me. If I had one of your eyes I would use it for a mirror, and look at myself before and behind; and your girths should be loosened, and you should be blind–seven days and seven nights." And hardly had she spoken when the ox fell on the ground, and the maiden shut the lattice and went away. But the prince knew that what the ox had said was true, and that she had not her equal in the whole world. And he came down from the tree, his heart burning with love.
"Why has the ogre not eaten her?"thought he. "This night I will invite him to supper in my palace and question him about the maiden, and find out if she is his wife."
So the prince ordered a great ox to be slain and roasted whole, and two huge tanks to be made, one filled with water and the other with wine. And towards evening he called his attendants and went to the ogre's house to wait in the courtyard till he came back from hunting. The ogre was surprised to see so many people assembled in front of his house; but he bowed politely and said, "Good morning, dear neighbours! To what do I owe the pleasure of this visit? I have not offended you, I hope?"
"Oh, certainly not!" answered the prince.
"Then," continued the ogre, "What has brought you to my house to–day for the first time?"
"We should like to have supper with you," said the prince.
"Well, supper is ready, and you are welcome," replied the ogre, leading the way into the house, for he had had a good day, and there was plenty of game in the bag over his shoulder.
A table was quickly prepared, and the prince had already taken his place, when he suddenly exclaimed, "After all, Buk Ettemsuch, suppose you come to supper with me?"
"Where?" asked the ogre.
"In my house. I know it is all ready."
But it is so far off–why not stay here?"
"Oh, I will come another day; but this evening I must be your host."
So the ogre accompanied the prince and his attendants back to the palace. After a while the prince turned to the ogre and said,
"It is as a wooer that I appear before you. I seek a wife from an honourable family."
"But I have no daughter," replied the ogre.
"Oh, yes you have, I saw her at the window."
"Well, you can marry her if you wish," said he.
So the prince's heart was glad as he and his attendants rode back with the ogre to his house. And as they parted, the prince said to his guest, "You will not forget the bargain we have made?"
"I am not a young man, and never break my promises," said the ogre, and went in and shut the door.
Upstairs he found the maiden, waiting till he returned to have her supper, for she did not like eating by herself.
"I have had my supper," said the ogre, "for I have been spending the evening with the prince."
"Where did you meet him?" asked the girl.
"Oh, we are neighbours, and grew up together, and to–night I promised that you should be his wife."
"I don't want to be any man's wife," answered she; but this was only pretence, for her heart too was glad.
Next morning early came the prince, bringing with him bridal gifts, and splendid wedding garments, to carry the maiden back to his palace.
But before he let her go the ogre called her to him, and said, "Be careful, girl, never to speak to the prince; and when he speaks to you, you must be dumb, unless he swears" by the head of Buk Ettemsuch." Then you may speak."
"Very well," answered the girl.
They set out; and when they reached the palace, the prince led his bride to the room he had prepared for her, and said "Speak to me, my wife," but she was silent; and by–and–by he left her, thinking that perhaps she was shy. The next day the same thing happened, and the next.
 And he did.
Now when the new wife was brought to the palace the daughter of Buk Ettemsuch rose, and spoke to the ladies who had come to attend on the second bride. "Go and sit down. I will make ready the feast." And the ladies sat down as they were told, and waited.
The maiden sat down too, and called out, "Come here, firewood," and the firewood came. I Come here, fire," and the fire came and kindled the wood. "Come here, pot."
Come here, oil;" and the pot and the oil came. � Get into the pot, oil!" said she, and the oil did it. When the oil was boiling, the maiden dipped all her fingers in it, and they became ten fried fishes. I Come here, oven," she cried next, and the oven came. 'Fire, heat the oven." And the fire heated it. When it was hot enough, the maiden, jumped in, just as she was, with her beautiful silver and gold dress, and all her jewels. In a minute or two she had turned into a snow–white loaf, that made your mouth water.
Said the loaf to the ladies, I You can eat now; do not stand so far off;" but they only stared at each other, speechless with surprise.
"What are you staring at?" asked the new bride.
At all these wonders," replied the ladies.
"Do you call these wonders?" said she scornfully; � I can do that too," and she jumped straight into the oven, and was burnt up in a moment.
Then they ran to the prince and said: "Come quickly, your wife is dead!"
"Bury her, then!" returned he. "But why did she do it? I am sure I said nothing to make her throw herself into the oven."
Accordingly the burnt woman was buried, but the prince would not go to the funeral as all his thoughts were still with the wife who would not speak to him. The next night he said to her, "Dear wife, are you afraid that something dreadful will happen if you speak to me? If you still persist in being dumb, I shall be forced to get another wife." The poor girl longed to speak, but dread of the ogre kept her silent, and the prince did as he had said, and brought a fresh bride into the palace. And when she and her ladies were seated in state, the maiden planted a sharp stake in the ground, and sat herself down comfortably on it, and began to spin.
What are you staring at so?" said the new bride to her ladies. "Do you think that is anything wonderful? Why, I can do as much myself!"
I am sure you can't," said they, much too surprised to be polite.
Then the maid sprang off the stake and left the room, and instantly the new wife took her place. But the sharp stake ran through, and she was dead in a moment. So they sent to the prince and said, 'Come quickly, and bury your wife."
"Bury her yourselves," he answered. "What did she do it for? It was not by my orders that she impaled herself on the stake."
So they buried her; and in the evening the prince came to the daughter of Buk Ettemsuch, and said to her,
Speak to me, or I shall have to take another wife." But she was afraid to speak to him.
The following day the prince hid himself in the room and watched. And soon the maiden woke, and said to the pitcher and to the water–jug, 'Quick! go down to the spring and bring me some water; I am thirsty."
And they went. But as they were filling themselves at the spring, the water–jug knocked against the pitcher and broke off its spout. And the pitcher burst into tears, and ran to the maiden, and said: , "Mistress, beat the waterjug, for he has broken my spout!"
By the head of Buk Ettemsuch, I implore you not to beat me!"
Ah," she replied, "if only my husband had sworn by that oath, I could have spoken to him from the beginning, and he need never have taken another wife. But now he will never say it, and he will have to go on marrying fresh ones.
And the prince, from his hiding–place, heard her words, and he jumped up and ran to her and said, I By the head of Buk Ettemsuch, speak to me."
So she spoke to him, and they lived happily to the end of their days, because the girl kept the promise she had made to the ogre.

Marking as ASSIGNED.
And for reference, here is the customer email that prompted me to open this entry in the database:
The reason of my writing today is an annoyance that's somewhat growing bigger by the day, namely,
the two folders Synergy keeps to store album covers: the album covers folder and the temporary album covers folder. First, I don't quite understand why two folders are needed.
The system works the way it does for historical reasons. Synergy had album cover support before iTunes did, so it has always had an "Album Covers" folder in which it stored covers downloaded from Amazon. When iTunes 4 came out (with album cover support), Synergy continued to use the covers it had already downloaded, but if there was no downloaded cover, it would try to get art from iTunes. It stored a copy of this art in the album covers folder for better performance (it's quite an expensive operation to retrieve art from iTunes via AppleScript), but at the cost of disk space. This is how it works to this day, basically searching in this order:
1. Look for art in ~/Library/Application Support/Synergy/ 2. Ask iTunes for art 3. Search Amazon for art
The fact that there are two folders is actually an improvement to the original system (in which all art went in the "Album Covers"). Under the new system, downloaded art gets stored in the "Album Covers" folder. Art borrowed from iTunes goes in the "Temporary Album Covers" folder. This folder is automatically disposed of each time you quit Synergy, so the duplication of art from iTunes is no longer a problem. Another improvement that was introduced at the same time was the use of JPEG as the preferred file format, which results in smaller files than the Cocoa default (TIFF) format.
Now, I know, these complaints have to do with Amazon and the way Synergy retrieves information
and that there is the option to switch off album covers in the floater and stop retrieving files from the Internet. Which is, you will agree, less nice to look at. The suggestion I'd like to make is the following: why not have a choice to switch off the retrieval of album covers from the Internet and show, if available, the artwork associated with the file inside iTunes?
There are currently three options:
1. No graphic 2. Synergy icon 3. Album cover
I think the best solution would be to replace those three options with
the following:
1. No graphic 2. Album cover (from iTunes) 3. Album cover (from Amazon)
Or, better, the artwork that is, if any, embedded in the mp3-file itself?
In theory, if the artwork is correctly embedded in the file, then iTunes will provide it to Synergy. (It should already be doing so, because Synergy does ask iTunes for art when it doesn't already have art on the disk).
But, as it stands now, I'm left with a) two growing folders of rubbish artwork or b) no artwork in my
floater.
Technically speaking, you're left with one growing folder, because the temporary folder is automatically deleted at the end of each session. There's absolutely no reason why you should have to go without art in the floater. If you've got all the art embedded in your mp3s, delete the incorrectly downloaded art and Synergy will ask iTunes for art, which means it will use the art that you've embedded.
Also of interest to you may be bug #8:

I strongly second the motion for this request for exactly the same reasons as the original requester.

I would also love to see this feature added. Specifically for the inclusion of podcast where you know it won't have a cover, though Synergy may make some word matches and give the podcast a cover anyway.

I would also love to see this feature added. Specifically for the inclusion of podcast where you know it won't have a cover, though Synergy may make some word matches and give the podcast a cover anyway.
Good point. It might be good to have options for selectively turning off searches for some sources (podcasts being an obvious choice). I'm not sure if that should be under a separate ticket though.

I also strongly support this feature request, since it's the request I just came to the Bugzilla site to make myself. My main reason is that I like to add the best quality album cover image I can find for a track, with a reasonable amount of searching (i.e. a minute or ten, depending on track obscurity).
By best I mean an optimal combination of image quality (clarity, colour, tone) and resolution (highest available to a max of 550 x 550, which is what I scale larger images down to before embedding in a track)
Even when Synergy finds the right album cover for a track, it's often not the best even among those easily found. If I'm right in thinking Synergy only searches Amazon for covers, there are many albums for which Amazon only has a 300 x 300 image, and usually it's not hard to find a better higher resolution alternative.
As Synergy works now, if I turn Album Cover Display on for the Floater, then Synergy will often find and embed album covers for new tracks before I get around to doing it myself. Trouble then is that it's hard to tell just from the little album cover in the lower left corner of iTunes whether the image is a measly 300 x 300 one automatically downloaded by Synergy, or a 550 x 550 (for example) I found myself.
So I've been leaving the Album Cover Display feature off in Synergy, to avoid this problem. But then I can't see all the lovely album covers I've already embedded in other files. This is frustrating for those who are album cover enthusiasts, who incidently are in no way anal or obsessive. I know you were thinking it!
