Housing Optimization

When I walked out of the Ideologies Fair, I thought I would never see my shirt ever again.
Imagine my surprise when the next day, I woke up to see my roommate, Lukko, wearing that monstrosity! Very briefly my vision was blasted with a riot of color displayed like the petals of some putrid, carnivorous jungle flora and glitter-glue constellations splayed out like the tentacles of some interstellar lusus naturae with too many plastic eyes, before I covered my eyes away and yelled, “Where did you get that?!”
“Trevisia gave it to me,” he said.
It struck me that Lukko had been the one warbling “opera” at the Ideologies Fair. So excited had I been during Orientation that I had not bothered to commit my roommate’s face to memory, and hence had failed to recognize him at the Fair.
“Please don’t wear that. It’s offensive to me, and it doesn’t belong to you.”
“It does, because you donated it to the Creativists,” Lukko said, “And I will wear it to remind you of your creative side. The more you surround yourself with U’s, Frongo, the more you’ll forget there ever is such a thing as creativity.”
Lukko paced as he crunched his toast (because sitting down eating it would be “standard”). He swung a chain that held one of those Creativist wooden boxes (decorated with many pipe-cleaner arms to look like a primeval bacteriophage) that would spit out a prompt every thirty minutes. I would come to dread this effigy over the next week, going so far as to buy a phonograph and a record entitled “Calming music” and huddle besides the phonograph’s trumpet every thirty minutes.
“Besides, once you create something, it has a life of its own. You can never, ever take it back.”
Lukko became an avid Creativist. In fact, he was not a bad Creativist. He had a remarkable talent for painting portraits of people screaming, as well as adapting cookware and the Handy Man’s Tool Set into musical instruments.
Lukko would wear the monstrosity at least once every week. However despite my best efforts at logic, I was unable to predict which day he would wear the shirt. Due to its multitudinous appendages, the shirt could not be washed, and its stench soon matched its ugliness.
You must be thinking how unlucky I was to be matched with Lukko. In fact, I discovered that it was hardly due to chance. Rather, our matching was the result of careful calculation! In order to explain, I must first discuss our housing system.
Director Haus was a tall bearded man whose hat also served as a minimal functioning (but empty) birdhouse. When I visited Philosophocle three weeks before the start of the semester, I inquired about accommodations, and he was kind enough to give me a tour of the Housing Office.
The Housing Office was the exemplar of industry. The wall of the office was covered in architectural blueprints, which between them mapped out every habitable room in the University. Thumbtacks and paper squares covered the blueprints. But what what drew my attention was the twenty-five students, shuffling papers from large stacks to other large stacks, clipping them together in twos, threes, and fours, and placing them in shelves labeled “certain”, “likely”, “probable”, “only if nothing better”, and “???”. On the blackboard was a gigantic graph drawn from colored chalk with the title “Compatibility”.
So engrossed were they in their work that none of them looked up as we entered.
“Who are these people?” I asked.
Director Haus beamed at me.
“Meet the Housers. Every paper you see in this room is a survey filled out by one of our current or incoming students. The Housers sift through thousands of self-descriptions to determine the optimal arrangement of students in dorms. As you can see, Dave there at the board is drawing a graph of the compatibility/non-compatibility of all male students who had Woody as their first-choice dorm.
“This is no mere housing ‘lottery’. This is a housing optimizer. Through statistics, debates, and discussions over late-night tea, we find the globally optimum housing arrangement.”
“But Director, would it not be more efficient to use a computer? I remember seeing a computer in the Technology Department.”
Director Haus gave me a stern look. “We cannot remove the human element from housing. A computer program, it is true, will output an optimal matching given a value function. But how can we tell a computer all the values that are important to our human students in finding the perfect roommate? Twenty-five students who understand the intricacies of rooming are much more suited to the task. Who are the people who you most need in order to order to grow? The Housers will find them for you.”
“But the sheer amount of student-hours…!”
“Being a Houser is not just an office job, Fron. It is a privilege. Hundreds of students apply to be Housers every year. Besides, students who are Housers gain intimate familiarity with the incoming class. During the first week, Fron, you will be surprised to meet several upperclassman will be able to summarize your biography—provided you fill out the survey, of course.”
Although I believed that Director Haus’s view on technology was too critical1, the Housers’ efforts endeared me. A university who cared so much about its students that upperclassmen would volunteer to find the best roommates for incoming students, and who went about such a trivial task with the utmost precision and rigor!
When I informed Haus that I had not received the survey, he immediately delivered a copy into my hand. I busied myself the next five minutes in filling it out.
“But Director Haus, do you match up students by common interests? Wouldn’t this make the living communities too homogeneous?”
“We have thought of everything,” Haus said, pointing to a question further down the page.
How different would you like your roommate to be from you?
(Exactly the same) 1 2 3 4 5 (Completely different)
I bubbled in 5 (foolishly).
The last question was “what other criteria do you have for a roommate, in order of priority?” I did not wish to further burden to the already very busy Housers, so instead checked the box at the bottom, which read,
“Excellent!” Director Haus said, “I am always glad to meet someone who has an adventurous taste in roommates.”
On that fateful form, I had not described myself in Uniformist or Creativist terms, or any of the religions of Philosophocle. I wonder, however, if the Housers had already predicted that I would be a Uniformist, and Lukko would be a Creativist. In either case, I now believe the Housing Optimization system to be deeply flawed.
When I appealed my housing to Director Haus, he invited me into the Housing Office (now empty of students but with its walls still covered in blueprints and thumbtacks) and offered me a cup of tea. Upon finding my housing survey, however, he frowned.
“You clearly stated a preference for someone completely different,” Director Haus said, “And the Housers have honored this preference.”
“But I am extremely dissatisfied!”
“Is this dissatisfaction mutual?”
“Well…”
The truth was that Lukko was not at all dissatisfied. “I’m glad for your presence,” Lukko had told me. “Trevisia has told me that the Creativist road is difficult, for there are many who judge and threaten me based on my creations. By your continual challenges towards my creations, I will grow stronger as a Creativist.”
Director Haus’s eyes wandered to the blueprint of Pondside. My thumbtack was gray, and Lukko’s thumbtack was red.
“You will do well to learn from Lukko,” Haus said severely, as if reading my thoughts, “At Philosophocle, we do not optimize happiess. If we desired a happy life, we would not spend our lives studying obscure subjects at a university. If we did, we would move to Las Vegas2 or Barbados. We are here, Fron, because we desire intellectual growth.”
Our conversation was at an end. If I had talked with Haus after taking Introduction to Debate, I would have a comeback.  For a moment, I imagined going berserk, tearing down the blueprints on the walls and screaming, “we are humans, not thumbtacks!” As it was, I finished my tea and meekly left the Housing Office, leaving Director Haus to his architectural solitude. For the next year, until the next Housing Optimization, the Uniformists would be my primary source of solace.

Torchlight Frontiers gets delayed, not coming in 2019
by Emily GeraShared-world action RPG Torchlight Frontiers won’t make its planned 2019 release window.
News of Torchlight Frontiers’ delay was revealed by Blizzard North co-founder and Echtra Games CEO Max Schaefer during a Path of Exile fan convention in New Zealand over the weekend.
Speaking with PC Gamer, Schaefer said the title will not release in the “2019 time frame that was indicated two and a half years ago.”
“We have not updated that yet which we probably should,” Schaefer continues. “But we don’t have really specific things to say. We’re doing some changes to the game right now that is kind of hard to pin down. We don’t really have better information to give yet. So that’s kind of why we’ve been waiting. But obviously it’s not going to make it right away. It’s plugging along and it’s getting better every day. And we’re really excited about it. It’s just we’re kind of waiting for the right time to like, come out with another big news dump about what’s going on.”
First announced last year, Torchlight Frontiers features a share, persistent, dynamically generated world. In the game players and their pets team up to “hack and slack their way through” the game. The game is in development at Echtra Games and led by Max Schaefer. The rest of the team is made up of personnel who worked on the Diablo and Torchlight franchises. The game is being developed for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.

VectorManager.py
This module serves two objects: VectorTransformator and TransformationMatrix. VectorTransformator holds several TransformationMatrix objects that operate on the language data provided by VectorTransformator.
A class representing a transformation matrix from vector space A to vector space B.
A flexible object that can hold several transformation matrices from vector space V into vector space W, using the dictionary in self.Dictionary. self.V and self.W are dictionaries that contain vectors in the following format:
{“word” = [0.1, 0.2, 0.3, ...]}
self.Models contains all transformation matrices that can be used to transform a given vector by using the overridden * operator.
When given a vector v, the default behaviour of VectorTransformator is to return a tuple containing the result of v multiplicated with all models from self.Models. If only a single model should be used, the [] operator can be used to select that model.
Creates a transformation matrix using the provided model and alpha value. Possible models are:
- “Lasso” for linear_model.Lasso,
- “ridge” for linear_model.Ridge,
- “net” for linear_model.ElasticNet
Prepares a vector in the following format:
[0.1, 0.2, 0.3, ...]
for use with NumPy multiplication.
Takes a word from vector Space V, maps it into W and returns the closest vector in W.
Using all vector transformation matrices found in self.Models, attemps to translate all vectors from self.V into self.W. If a filename is provided, the results will be written into that file.
FileManager.py
This module’s functions is used by VectorManager to read dictionary and vector data from files. Those files serve the data that is used later for matrix transformation of vector space models.
Takes an object as an argument and dumps its content on disk using name as its file name. If no file name is specified, repr(object) will instead be used.
Extracts plaintext data from input_file with characters only found in the unicode groups specified by unigroups. If conf_file is specified, the script will concatenate those words with an _ while parsing. All characters will be converted to lower case.
Loads a dictionary from dict_file.
Loads a cPickle object.
Reads a file into a dictionary.
Reads a dictionary file in the following format: language1 language2
Reads a file.
Reads a tuple file.
Reads a tuple file into a dictionary.
Reads a vectorfile.
Reads a vector file into a dictionary with word as key.
Reads a text file in the following format: word a1 a2 a3 a4 (word being the word and everything after it its components)
Reads a word2vec vectors file. A word2vec file is special in the sense that the first two lines denote the number of vectors and their dimension, and thus can be skipped.
Simple file writing.
Enhanced function for writing a tuple file.

Privacy FAQ¶
What is Google Analytics?
Google Analytics is a simple, easy-to-use tool that helps website owners measure how users interact with website content. As a user navigates between web pages, Google Analytics provides website owners JavaScript tags (libraries) to record information about the page a user has seen, for example the URL of the page. The Google Analytics JavaScript libraries use HTTP Cookies to “remember” what a user has done on previous pages / interactions with the website. It makes it easy for website owners to understand how their site and app users are engaging with the content, e.g: which documentation page is mostly viewed and valuable.
Why do we use GA?
We use GA solely to gather the information that helps to make the site more useful to visitors and contributors, as well as to better understand how and when our site is used. We DO NOT track or collect personally identifiable information or associate gathered data with any personally identifying information from other sources.
What information is being collected?
GA provides us with information on the following 3 categories:
Audience reports: includes information about active users (interactions with the site in the last 1, 7, 14, or 30 days), where users come from (geographical location) and what language they speak (language of the bowser), as well as the insight on the percentages of new and returning visitors.
Acquisition reports: includes information about how users are finding the website with detailed understanding of traffic and bounce rate. Website owners are able to see their main traffic categories, such as organic search, referral and direct, as well as the information about how many pages users view and how much time they spend on the website.
Behaviour reports: includes information on granulated metrics such as the average time a user spends on a webpage, total number of pageviews and the site’s bounce rate, site’s most visited pages, and the most popular pages through which a user enters and exits your site (landing pages and exit pages), as well as insight on how quickly the website loads.
Information collected has to do with your browser, time spent on each page, pages visited, and location (down to a granularity of city, not further). We do not track or collect personally identifiable information or associate gathered data with any personally identifying information from other sources.
Who has access to the data?
Project Management Committee (PMC) of the project, in this case Apache Airflow, has access to the data. However, if any of the committers have a strong case that requires the access, they can send an email to the private@ requesting the permission to have access for a limited period of time, and PMC has the right to decide whether to grant the access or not.

Growing up playing sports such as soccer, hockey, and swimming has instilled within me a love of athletics and a desire to
belong as a member of a team. I am currently playing adult soccer and weightlifting according to the Rippetoe philosophy to get my fix of
personal athletics.
With a fourth grade teacher as a girlfriend, a mother as a full professor,
a father who adjuncts, and a grandmother who has retired after a life of
teaching English and grammar, the education field is well ingrained within me.
I believe that learning is a seperate entity from education, one that should continue long after your formal education is over.

Definition in file Tasks.cpp.
| bool Tasks_Add | ( | Task | func, |
| int16_t | period, | ||
| int16_t | delay = 0 |
||
| ) |
Add a task to the task scheduler.
A new task is added to the scheduler with a given execution period and delay until first execution.
If no delay is given the task is executed at once or after starting the task scheduler (see Tasks_Start())
If a period of 0ms is given, the task is executed only once and then removed automatically.
To avoid ambiguities, a function can only be added once to the scheduler. Trying to add it a second time will reset and overwrite the settings of the existing task.
For non-static member function use address from PTR_NON_STATIC_METHOD() macro.
Used HW blocks:
- Arduino ATMega: TIMER0_COMPA_vect
- Arduino SAM: TC3
| [in] | func | Function to be executed. The function prototype should be similar to this: "void userFunction(void)" |
| [in] | period | Execution period of the task in ms (0 to 32767; 0 = task only executes once) |
| [in] | delay | Delay until first execution of task in ms (0 to 32767) |
MAX_TASK_CNT
in file Tasks.h
| void Tasks_Clear | ( | void | ) |
| bool Tasks_Delay | ( | Task | func, |
| int16_t | delay | ||
| ) |
Delay execution of a task.
The task is delayed starting from the last 1ms timer tick which means the delay time is accurate to -1ms to 0ms.
This overwrites any previously set delay setting for this task and thus even allows earlier execution of a task. Delaying the task by <2ms forces it to be executed during the next 1ms timer tick. This means that the task might be called at any time anyway in case it was added multiple times to the task scheduler.
For non-static member function use address from PTR_NON_STATIC_METHOD() macro.
Used HW blocks:
- Arduino ATMega: TIMER0_COMPA_vect
- Arduino SAM: TC3
| [in] | func | Function that should be delayed |
| [in] | delay | Delay in ms (0 to 32767) |
| void Tasks_Init | ( | void | ) |
| void Tasks_Pause | ( | void | ) |
| bool Tasks_Remove | ( | Task | func | ) |
Remove a task from the task scheduler.
Remove the specified task from the scheduler and free the slot again.
For non-static member function use address from PTR_NON_STATIC_METHOD() macro.
Used HW blocks:
- Arduino ATMega: TIMER0_COMPA_vect
- Arduino SAM: TC3
| [in] | func | Function name that should be removed. |
| bool Tasks_SetState | ( | Task | func, |
| bool | state | ||
| ) |
Enable or disable the execution of a task.
Temporary pause or resume function for execution of single tasks by scheduler. This will not stop the task in case it is currently being executed but just prevents the task from being executed again in case its state is set to 'false' (inactive).
For non-static member function use address from PTR_NON_STATIC_METHOD() macro.
Used HW blocks:
- Arduino ATMega: TIMER0_COMPA_vect
- Arduino SAM: TC3
| [in] | func | Function to be paused/resumed. The function prototype should be similar to this: "void userFunction(void)" |
| [in] | state | New function state (false=pause, true=resume) |

2 Intro: Cancer Experiemnt
library(tidyverse) # super helpful everything!
library(haven) # inporting SPSS, SAS, & Stata data files
library(psych) # lots of nice tidbits
2.1 Source of Data
Mid-Michigan Medical Center, Midland, Michigan, 1999: A study of oral condition of cancer patients.
2.2 Description of the Study
The data set contains part of the data for a study of oral condition of cancer patients conducted at the Mid-Michigan Medical Center. The oral conditions of the patients were measured and recorded at the initial stage, at the end of the second week, at the end of the fourth week, and at the end of the sixth week. The variables age, initial weight and initial cancer stage of the patients were recorded. Patients were divided into two groups at random: One group received a placebo and the other group received aloe juice treatment.
Sample size n = 25 patients with neck cancer.
The treatment is Aloe Juice.

2.4 Import Data
The Cancer
dataset is saved in SPSS format, which is evident from the .sav
ending on the file name.
The haven
package is downloaded as part of the tidyverse
set of packages, but is not automatically loaded. It must have its own library()
function call (see above). The haven::read_spss()
function works very simarly to the readxl::read_excel()
function we used last chapter (Wickham, Miller, and Smith 2022).
- Make sure the dataset is saved in the same folder as this file
- Make sure the that folder is the working directory

Python Hints¶
Python is a powerful object-oriented interpreted scripting/programming language. Some version of Python is almost certainly on your computer already (on unix, linux, OSX type:
$ python --version
to find out which version, or just:
$ python
to start a python shell with a prompt that looks like:
>>>
You may prefer to use IPython, which is a nicer shell than the pure python shell, with things like command completion and history. See the Quick IPython Tutorial.
Installation of required modules¶
To effectively use the pyclaw and Clawpack plotting routines that are written in Python, you will need version 2.7 or greater (but not 3.0 or above, which is not backwards compatible). some modules that are not included in the standard Python distribution. Python modules are loaded with the import statement in Python and a wide variety of specialized modules exist for various purposes since people use Python for many different purposes.
An alternative to installing the packages discussed below, you could also use the Clawpack Virtual Machine, which has all the required Python modules pre-installed.
For use with Clawpack, you will need the Numpy module (Numerical Python) that allows working with arrays in much the same way as in Matlab. This is distributed as part of SciPy (Scientific Python). See the Installing SciPy page for tips installing SciPy and NumPy on various platforms.
For plotting you will also need the matplotlib module which provides Matlab-like plotting commands for 1d and 2d plots (e.g. contour and pcolor plots). This is generally the hardest thing to get going properly. See the matplotlib Installation FAQ.
Often the easiest way to get all the modules you need is to install the
Anaconda Python Distribution or the Enthought Python Distribution, which is free for academic users. Versions are available for Windows, Mac OS X, and Redhat linux.
With some versions of Linux (e.g. debian and Ubuntu), you can easily install what’s needed using apt-get:
$ apt-get install python-numpy
$ apt-get install python-scipy
$ apt-get install python-matplotlib
For OS X, you might also try the Scipy Superpack. See also these tips on installing matplotlib on OS X.
Sage¶
Sage is an open source mathematics software collection with its own interface and notebook system. It is based on Python and the full distribution contains in particular the Python modules needed for Clawpack.
You can try Sage directly from the web without downloading, click on “Try Sage Online” link on the Sage webpage.
We are working on incorporating Pyclaw into Sage as an optional package.

Method: maxCallStackDepth()
maxCallStackDepth() returns an estimate of the maximum call stack depth. It is well known that recursive-descent parsers can exhibit exponential behavior for some patterns. This is due to recursion which opens the possibility that the parser may extend deep into the parse tree. This function is a simple helper to estimate the maximum call depth or recursion depth available to the current JavaScript engine. Because the call depth is limited by the call-stack space, the actual depth will be dependent on how much data a recursive function leaves on each stack frame. Therefore, the return of this function should be regarded as an upper bound.
Syntax
var exp = new ApgExp(pattern[, flags]); var depth = exp.maxCallStackDepth();
Parameters
none
Return
integer: An upper bound on the current JavaScript engine's call stack depth.
Example
var pattern, exp, result; pattern = 'word = "abc"\n'; exp = new ApgExp(pattern); result = exp.maxCallStackDepth(); console.log("max depth: "+result); /* returns */ max depth: 15699


Materials
- 1 clean plastic bottle, try to use one with smooth sides water
- Vegetable Oil (or you could use Mineral or Baby Oil instead)
- Fizzing tablets (such as Alka Seltzer)
- Food Coloring
Instructions
- Fill the bottle up about 1/4th (1 quarter) with water.
- Pour the vegetable oil in the bottle until is almost full. You may want to use a measuring cup with a spout or a funnel. You may have to wait a couple of minutes for the oil and water to separate.
- Add a few drops of your favorite food coloring. Watch as the color sinks through the oil. Did your drops of color mix with the water immediately or float in between for a few minutes?
- Break your fizzy tablet in half and drop part of it into the bottle. Get ready... here come the bubbly blobs!
- You can even get a flashlight, turn off the lights and drop in another half tablet. This time shine the flashlight through the lava lamp while the blobs are bubbling!
How it Works
The oil floats on top of the water because it is less dense or lighter than water. The food coloring has the same density as the water so it sink through the oil and mixes with the water. When you add the tablet it sinks to the bottom then starts to dissolve. As it dissolves it makes gas, carbon dioxide. Gas or air, is lighter than water so it floats to the top. The air bubbles bring some colored water with them to the top. When the air comes out of the colored water blob, the water gets heavy again and sinks. It does this over and over again until the tablet is completely dissolved.

Nwora, Enoch lead No. 5 Louisville past Youngstown St. 78-55
by STEVE BITTENBENDERLOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - Jordan Nwora scored 21 points to lead No. 5 Louisville, which capitalized on some streaky shooting, to a 78-55 victory in its home opener Sunday over Youngstown State.
The Cardinals (2-0) made the first 11 shots to jump out to a 24-8 lead. They then started the second half making seven of their first nine shots to put away the Penguins (1-1).
The Penguins shot just 35.3% in the first half, but Darius Quisenberry hit a buzzer-beating 3-pointer to cut the Cardinals lead to 38-31 at the break. However, Youngstown State couldn’t carry that momentum into the second half as they missed 13 of their first 17 second-half shots.
Steven Enoch added 17 points and a career-high 14 rebounds for Louisville, which also got 16 points from Ryan McMahon. Louisville posted 22 assists, with Darius Perry dishing out a career-best 12.
Perry, a junior guard, also added 10 points.
Louisville led by as many as 24 points in the second half.
Naz Bohannon led the Penguins, which outrebounded Louisville 46-38, with 14 points. Quisenberry added 11.
BIG PICTURE
Youngstown State: After dispatching Division III Thiel College by 48 points in their season opener, the Penguins looked like they would quickly find themselves on the opposite end of such a beatdown Sunday. However, they more than held their own against a bigger Louisville team, using 11 first-half offensive rebounds to generate 16 second-chance points and stay in the game.
Louisville: The Cardinals shot better than 50 percent from the floor for the second straight game. While there were some defensive issues inside during the first half, the Cardinals got those corrected in the second half and eventually put away the Penguins.
UP NEXT
Youngstown State travels to Lafayette, La., on Friday to face Louisiana.
Louisville hosts Indiana State on Wednesday night.

I hit this error when a json client was calling an ASP MVC controller to get Json.
Exception Details: System.InvalidOperationException: The JSON request was too large to be deserialized.
The posted JSON is large, but not the default maximum of 4Mb.
There is a .Net security fix (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2661403):
Microsoft security update MS11-100 limits the maximum number of form keys, files, and JSON members to 1000 in an HTTP request.
You can bypass this (at the risk of Denial of service) with an appSetting in web.config:
<appSettings> <add key="aspnet:MaxJsonDeserializerMembers" value="150000" />


This is a DAP-based JavaScript debugger. It debugs Node.js, Chrome, Edge, WebView2, VS Code extensions, and more. It has been the default JavaScript debugger in Visual Studio Code since 1.46, and is gradually rolling out in Visual Studio proper.
The shipped version of VS Code includes the js-debug version at the time of its release, however you may want to install our nightly build to get the latest fixes and features. The nightly build runs at 5PM PST on each day that there are changes (see pipeline). To get the build:
@builtin @id:ms-vscode.js-debug
JavaScript Debugger
extension and Disable
it.
@id:ms-vscode.js-debug-nightly
in the extensions view.
In js-debug
we aim to provide rich debugging for modern applications, with no or
minimal configuration required. Here are a few new features that js-debug brings:
In Node.js, child processes will automatically be debugged. In browsers, service workers, webworkers, and iframes will be debugged as well.
While debugging workers, you can also step through postMessage()
calls.
You can debug any Node.js process you run in the terminal with our revamped Auto Attach. If
auto attach isn’t on, you can run the command Debug: Toggle Auto Attach
to turn
it on. Next time you run a command like npm start
, we’ll debug it.
Once enabled, you can toggle Auto Attach by clicking the
Auto Attach: On/Off
button in the status bar on the bottom of your screen.
You can also create a one-off terminal for debugging via the
Debug: Create JavaScript Debug Terminal
command.
In the previous debugger, you had to remember to add the --inspect
flag when you
ran a command, and couldn’t hit breakpoints early in the program since attachment was
asynchronous.
You can capture and view performance profiles natively in VS Code, by clicking on the ⚪
button in the Call Stack view, or through the
Debug: Take Performance Profile
command. The profile information collected
through VS Code is sourcemap-aware.
You can debug npm scripts by clicking the code lens shown in the package.json, or by running
the Debug: Debug NPM Script
command/
You can configure where and if the code lens is displayed in the
debug.javascript.codelens.npmScripts
setting.
By default, any links you click through the JavaScript debug terminal (Debug: Create JavaScript Debug Terminal
command) will open in debug mode. If you’d like, you can enable this for all terminals, or
disable it, by setting debug.javascript.debugByLinkOptions
to
always
or off
, respectively.
When debugging web apps, you can configure instrumentation breakpoints from VS Code in the “Browser Breakpoints” view.
Autocomplete in the debug console has been significantly improved. You can expect better suggestions for more complex expressions than VS Code was able to handle before.
On a function’s return statement, you can use, inspect, and modify the
$returnValue
.
Note that you can use and modify properties on the $returnValue
, but not assign
it to–it is effectively a const
variable.
await
You can use await
at the top level in the debug console.
However, like the Chrome devtools, if you use await
while paused on a breakpoint,
you’ll only get a pending Promise
back. This is because the JavaScript event loop
is paused while on a breakpoint.
The debugger can now pretty print files, especially useful when dealing with minified sources.
It will show a prompt when you step into or open a file that looks minified, and you can also
trigger pretty printing manually via the
Debug: Pretty print for debugging
command.
You can turn off the suggestion prompt by selecting Never, or changing the setting debug.javascript.suggestPrettyPrinting to false.
We support launching the
new Microsoft Edge browser, via the
pwa-msedge
debug type. It supports all the same configuration settings as
chrome
does.
With this comes support for the WebView2 control in desktop Windows applications. Check out our webview demo to learn how to set this up.
Js-debug has a rewritten suite of sourcemap handling and breakpoint resolution logic. This results in more reliable breakpoint behavior in more cases. For example:
ts-node
and
@babel/register
).
VS Code has long had an action to “Copy Value” from the Variables view. However, previously this was truncated for object or long values. Changes in VS Code and js-debug allow us to losslessly copy the full expressions as JSON.
js-debug is a cleanroom rewrite of a JavaScript debugger, so there are a large number of small improvements. Here are some more that are unworthy of their own heading:
runtimeVersion
. Previously
you needed to specify the full version, such as 12.3.4
. Now, you can specify
12
and we’ll use the most recent 12.*
installed on the system.
Attach to Node.js Process
command.
console.group()
set of APIs are now supported.stable
, canary
, or dev
as
runtimeExecutable
s when launching browsers. We’ll do our best to discover and
use the specified version on your machine.
program
to files with other or no extensions
without workarounds.
inspect()
and copy()
are now available.

What information is used to calculate my score?
Your home loan application contains a huge amount of data that the lender can use to assess your situation. The banks do not specifically publish the exact algorithms and information that their system uses to calculate your score. They prefer to keep this a secret to stop people “gaming” their system. However, many of our staff are ex-credit officers who have worked for a major lender and have an excellent understanding of how bank systems work.

Dandora is one of the slums that experiences urban hunger according to UHDSS 2018 report. In this case the school decided to start a feeding program to feed the children and keep them in school. The program has been running since the school inception. The kids are offered porridge at 10:00 am and Githeri 'Maize and beans' at lunch time.
The benefits of the program are evident. Many of the pupils can't afford two meals per day and this factor makes the school a safe heaven for all the children who attend. We register a class attendance of almost 100% in all school days.
Unfortunately with the numbers soaring every year, it is proving to be a challenge to sustain the population with the previous convectional means. To this end we are asking you to support us and keep a child at school by donating to our school.
The number of children currently benefiting from this project
No child goes hungry while in our school
We project a growth of 200 students annually .

The good parts
CMSIS Pack is an important step forward towards the standardisation of ARM Cortex-M system software, hardware description and documentation.
It provides silicon vendors with a great method to describe their chips in a structured way, from the full list of device names down to register level. These are all very useful information, since they are the basis for advanced tools, like project creation wizards (requiring the actual list of available devices and their associated header files and build details) and debugger register viewers (requiring detailed knowledge on the actual peripherals available in a chip variant and their full register definitions, down to bit level).
The bad parts
The advantage of being a great tool for silicon vendors is probably its worse disadvantage, since (at least the current version, v1.3) CMSIS Pack seems intended mainly to silicon vendors, and not to general software distribution (like eCos CDL).
The second major disadvantage (partly understandable by its origins) is the deep bias towards µVision, a proprietary tool by Keil, which limits (and sometimes even voids) its usefulness in open environments, like GCC and Eclipse.
Excessively complicated design
Apparently started as a µVision feature, and, as such, inheriting µVision oddities, the CMSIS Pack design evolved unevenly in different directions, and lacking the elegance of a consistent design, up to a point where it can even be considered over-engineered.
Non-portable examples
Apart for µVision users, which do not use Eclipse anyway, with the current version of the CMSIS Packs, the many existing CMSIS examples are… useless, at large. :-(
The provided examples cannot be used to automatically create ready to build new C/C++ Eclipse projects, requiring many manual configuration changes, usually out of reach for beginners.
For this to be possible, the following (portable) details are required in the definition of an example:
- the list of source files
- the list of header files
- the list of include holders
- an optional list of preprocessor definitions
One possible solution would be to define the content of an example as one or more components, with full details regarding the files and include folders, and, instead of mandating the presence of a proprietary project definition, allow each tool to create the project required to build the example.
Hopefully future CMSIS Pack versions will be improved, to make the examples more portable and available for Eclipse/GCC based tools.
Lack of GCC assembly files
At the date of writing this, only a very few packages were updated to include the GCC assembly startup files (.S), so most of the packages are not yet ready for inclusion in projects built with GCC.
Lack of linker scripts
Not only that GCC support in the CMSIS Packs is scarce, but the linker scripts are completely missing.
Simplistic repository index
The recommended method to access the packages from a web site is via a very simple index, plus the full package description. This method generates a lot of network traffic, and parsing the very large xml files, containing full device descriptions only to get a summary of the package is wasteful.
Low configurability features
Compared to eCos, CMSIS Pack addresses only a very limited range of configurability options, generating a single, fixed name, header file (RTE_Config.h) generally intended to inform the source code only if a package is present or not, and does not go deeper, at component level.
The CMSIS alternative is a mechanism to allow a controlled edit of header files, using additional definitions embedded as comments.
Although functional, these additional definitions may interfere with embedded documentation, like Doxygen, further reducing the files readability.
Fixed file naming schemes
CMSIS Pack requires the package files to follow a very rigid naming scheme: VENDOR.PACKNAME.VERSION.pack, and also requires the presence of a description file, named VENDOR.PACKNAME.pdsc to be present both inside the archive and on the server where the package is published.
Fixed object hierarchies
Actually the CMSIS components are not really organised hierarchically, they are just tagged with various attributes, like class, group, subgroup, variant, version, and referring to them requires all relevant attributes.
Also packages have a flat structure, there are no methods to define hierarchies of packages.
No package dependencies
Packages are currently fully independent, and there are no dependencies between them, so if a package requires another package, the second one also needs to be manually installed, there is no way to chain install all required packages.
Windows only tools
The package validation tool, and all other provided tools are non portable, and run only on Windows.
No special support for tests
Although tests might be considered a special genre of examples, building and running tests usually requires more details to be configured.
eCos CDL encourages to define tests for each package, and provides an automated mechanism to build and run all available tests at once.
PDSC schema oddities
Non-POSIX paths
Although the specs allow the use of standard POSIX paths (and, as far as I was told, MDK accepts them), all Keil packages, and all Keil documentation pages, do not miss the opportunity to show their Microsoft-ish origin, and represent all paths using the Windows back-slash separator:
<compile header="Device\Include\stm32f4xx.h" define="STM32F40_41xxx"/>
Perhaps a more visually pleasant solution would have been to use the standard POSIX slash separator:
<compile header="Device/Include/stm32f4xx.h" define="STM32F40_41xxx"/>
<books>
Here is an unfortunate example from the STM32F4-Discovery board:
<book category="overview" name="https://www.st.com/web/catalog/tools/FM116/SC959/SS1532/LN1199/PF252419" title="STM32F4-Discovery Web Page"/>
<book category="setup" name="Documents\DM00037368.pdf" title="Getting Started"/>
<book category="schematic" name="Documents\stm32f4discovery_sch.zip" title="Schematics"/>
<book category="manual" name="Documents\DM00039084.pdf" title="User Manual"/>
<book category="other" name="Documents\stm32f4discovery_gerber.zip" title="Gerber Files"/>
First, none of the above is actually a book, all are various documentation files (web page, manuals, schematics, etc), so the name <books>
is poorly chosen.
Second, the name attribute refers to anything else but the document name, which is eventually defined as title.
And third, the document location makes no difference between local and remote documents, requiring the inspection of the attribute value to better identify the document.
Perhaps a more appropriate definitions would have been:
<document category="overview" title="STM32F4-Discovery Web Page" url="https://www.st.com/web/catalog/tools/FM116/SC959/SS1532/LN1199/PF252419"/>
<document category="setup" title="Getting Started" file="Documents/DM00037368.pdf"/>
<document category="schematic" title="Schematics" file="Documents/stm32f4discovery_sch.zip"/>
<document category="manual" title="User Manual" file="Documents/DM00039084.pdf"/>
<document category="other" title="Gerber Files" file="Documents/stm32f4discovery_gerber.zip"/>
<algorithm>
The name attribute does not define any name, but a special .FLM file:
<algorithm name="Flash\STM32F4xx_1024.FLM" start="0x08000000" size="0x100000" default="1"/>
To be consistent with
<debug svd="SVD\STM32F41x.svd"/>
perhaps a flm attribute would have been more appropriate, or at least a generic file attribute.
<algorithm flm="Flash\STM32F4xx_1024.FLM" start="0x08000000" size="0x100000" default="1"/>

I
When the first dubious November snow had filtered down, shading with white the bare clods in the plowed fields, when the first small fire had been started in the furnace, which is the shrine of a Gopher Prairie home, Carol began to make the house her own. She dismissed the parlor furniture—the golden oak table with brass knobs, the moldy brocade chairs, the picture of "The Doctor." She went to Minneapolis, to scamper through department stores and small Tenth Street shops devoted to ceramics and high thought. She had to ship her treasures, but she wanted to bring them back in her arms.
Carpenters had torn out the partition between front parlor and back parlor, thrown it into a long room on which she lavished yellow and deep blue; a Japanese obi with an intricacy of gold thread on stiff ultramarine tissue, which she hung as a panel against the maize wall; a couch with pillows of sapphire velvet and gold bands; chairs which, in Gopher Prairie, seemed flippant. She hid the sacred family phonograph in the dining–room, and replaced its stand with a square cabinet on which was a squat blue jar between yellow candles.
Kennicott decided against a fireplace. "We'll have a new house in a couple of years, anyway."
She decorated only one room. The rest, Kennicott hinted, she'd better leave till he "made a ten–strike."
The brown cube of a house stirred and awakened; it seemed to be in motion; it welcomed her back from shopping; it lost its mildewed repression.
The supreme verdict was Kennicott's "Well, by golly, I was afraid the new junk wouldn't be so comfortable, but I must say this divan, or whatever you call it, is a lot better than that bumpy old sofa we had, and when I look around—Well, it's worth all it cost, I guess."
Every one in town took an interest in the refurnishing. The carpenters and painters who did not actually assist crossed the lawn to peer through the windows and exclaim, "Fine! Looks swell!" Dave Dyer at the drug store, Harry Haydock and Raymie Wutherspoon at the Bon Ton, repeated daily, "How's the good work coming? I hear the house is getting to be real classy."
Even Mrs. Bogart.
Mrs. Bogart lived across the alley from the rear of Carol's house. She was a widow, and a Prominent Baptist, and a Good Influence. She had so painfully reared three sons to be Christian gentlemen that one of them had become an Omaha bartender, one a professor of Greek, and one, Cyrus N. Bogart, a boy of fourteen who was still at home, the most brazen member of the toughest gang in Boytown.
Mrs. Bogart was not the acid type of Good Influence. She was the soft, damp, fat, sighing, indigestive, clinging, melancholy, depressingly hopeful kind. There are in every large chicken–yard a number of old and indignant hens who resemble Mrs. Bogart, and when they are served at Sunday noon dinner, as fricasseed chicken with thick dumplings, they keep up the resemblance.
Carol had noted that Mrs. Bogart from her side window kept an eye upon the house. The Kennicotts and Mrs. Bogart did not move in the same sets—which meant precisely the same in Gopher Prairie as it did on Fifth Avenue or in Mayfair. But the good widow came calling.
She wheezed in, sighed, gave Carol a pulpy hand, sighed, glanced sharply at the revelation of ankles as Carol crossed her legs, sighed, inspected the new blue chairs, smiled with a coy sighing sound, and gave voice:
"I've wanted to call on you so long, dearie, you know we're neighbors, but I thought I'd wait till you got settled, you must run in and see me, how much did that big chair cost?"
"Seventy–seven dollars!"
"Sev—Sakes alive! Well, I suppose it's all right for them that can afford it, though I do sometimes think—Of course as our pastor said once, at Baptist Church—By the way, we haven't seen you there yet, and of course your husband was raised up a Baptist, and I do hope he won't drift away from the fold, of course we all know there isn't anything, not cleverness or gifts of gold or anything, that can make up for humility and the inward grace and they can say what they want to about the P. E. church, but of course there's no church that has more history or has stayed by the true principles of Christianity better than the Baptist Church and—In what church were you raised, Mrs. Kennicott?"
"W–why, I went to Congregational, as a girl in Mankato, but my college was Universalist."
"Well—But of course as the Bible says, is it the Bible, at least I know I have heard it in church and everybody admits it, it's proper for the little bride to take her husband's vessel of faith, so we all hope we shall see you at the Baptist Church and—As I was saying, of course I agree with Reverend Zitterel in thinking that the great trouble with this nation today is lack of spiritual faith—so few going to church, and people automobiling on Sunday and heaven knows what all. But still I do think that one trouble is this terrible waste of money, people feeling that they've got to have bath–tubs and telephones in their houses—I heard you were selling the old furniture cheap."
"Yes!"
"Well—of course you know your own mind, but I can't help thinking, when Will's ma was down here keeping house for him—SHE used to run in to SEE me, real OFTEN!—it was good enough furniture for her. But there, there, I mustn't croak, I just wanted to let you know that when you find you can't depend on a lot of these gadding young folks like the Haydocks and the Dyers—and heaven only knows how much money Juanita Haydock blows in in a year—why then you may be glad to know that slow old Aunty Bogart is always right there, and heaven knows—" A portentous sigh. "—I HOPE you and your husband won't have any of the troubles, with sickness and quarreling and wasting money and all that so many of these young couples do have and—But I must be running along now, dearie. It's been such a pleasure and—Just run in and see me any time. I hope Will is well? I thought he looked a wee mite peaked."
It was twenty minutes later when Mrs. Bogart finally oozed out of the front door. Carol ran back into the living–room and jerked open the windows. "That woman has left damp finger–prints in the air," she said.
II
Carol was extravagant, but at least she did not try to clear herself of blame by going about whimpering, "I know I'm terribly extravagant but I don't seem to be able to help it."
Kennicott had never thought of giving her an allowance. His mother had never had one! As a wage–earning spinster Carol had asserted to her fellow librarians that when she was married, she was going to have an allowance and be business–like and modern. But it was too much trouble to explain to Kennicott's kindly stubbornness that she was a practical housekeeper as well as a flighty playmate. She bought a budget–plan account book and made her budgets as exact as budgets are likely to be when they lack budgets.
For the first month it was a honeymoon jest to beg prettily, to confess, "I haven't a cent in the house, dear," and to be told, "You're an extravagant little rabbit." But the budget book made her realize how inexact were her finances. She became self–conscious; occasionally she was indignant that she should always have to petition him for the money with which to buy his food. She caught herself criticizing his belief that, since his joke about trying to keep her out of the poorhouse had once been accepted as admirable humor, it should continue to be his daily bon mot. It was a nuisance to have to run down the street after him because she had forgotten to ask him for money at breakfast.
But she couldn't "hurt his feelings," she reflected. He liked the lordliness of giving largess.
She tried to reduce the frequency of begging by opening accounts and having the bills sent to him. She had found that staple groceries, sugar, flour, could be most cheaply purchased at Axel Egge's rustic general store. She said sweetly to Axel:
"I think I'd better open a charge account here."
"I don't do no business except for cash," grunted Axel.
She flared, "Do you know who I am?"
"Yuh, sure, I know. The doc is good for it. But that's yoost a rule I made. I make low prices. I do business for cash."
She stared at his red impassive face, and her fingers had the undignified desire to slap him, but her reason agreed with him. "You're quite right. You shouldn't break your rule for me."
Her rage had not been lost. It had been transferred to her husband. She wanted ten pounds of sugar in a hurry, but she had no money. She ran up the stairs to Kennicott's office. On the door was a sign advertising a headache cure and stating, "The doctor is out, back at—" Naturally, the blank space was not filled out. She stamped her foot. She ran down to the drug store—the doctor's club.
As she entered she heard Mrs. Dyer demanding, "Dave, I've got to have some money."
Carol saw that her husband was there, and two other men, all listening in amusement.
Dave Dyer snapped, "How much do you want? Dollar be enough?"
"No, it won't! I've got to get some underclothes for the kids."
"Why, good Lord, they got enough now to fill the closet so I couldn't find my hunting boots, last time I wanted them."
"I don't care. They're all in rags. You got to give me ten dollars—"
Carol perceived that Mrs. Dyer was accustomed to this indignity. She perceived that the men, particularly Dave, regarded it as an excellent jest. She waited—she knew what would come—it did. Dave yelped, "Where's that ten dollars I gave you last year?" and he looked to the other men to laugh. They laughed.
Cold and still, Carol walked up to Kennicott and commanded, "I want to see you upstairs."
"Why—something the matter?"
"Yes!"
He clumped after her, up the stairs, into his barren office.  Just now I've heard Mrs. Dyer going through the same humiliation. And I—I'm in the same position! I have to beg you for money. Daily! I have just been informed that I couldn't have any sugar because I hadn't the money to pay for it!"
"Who said that?  It wasn't his fault. It was yours. And mine. I now humbly beg you to give me the money with which to buy meals for you to eat. And hereafter to remember it. The next time, I sha'n't beg. I shall simply starve.  I can't go on being a slave—"
Her defiance, her enjoyment of the role, ran out. She was sobbing against his overcoat, "How can you shame me so?" and he was blubbering, "Dog–gone it, I meant to give you some, and I forgot it. I swear I won't again. By golly I won't!"
He pressed fifty dollars upon her, and after that he remembered to give her money regularly . . . sometimes.
Daily she determined, "But I must have a stated amount—be business–like. System. I must do something about it." And daily she didn't do anything about it.
III
Mrs. Bogart had, by the simpering viciousness of her comments on the new furniture, stirred Carol to economy. She spoke judiciously to Bea about left–overs. She read the cookbook again and, like a child with a picture–book, she studied the diagram of the beef which gallantly continues to browse though it is divided into cuts.
But she was a deliberate and joyous spendthrift in her preparations for her first party, the housewarming. She made lists on every envelope and laundry–slip in her desk. She sent orders to Minneapolis "fancy grocers." She pinned patterns and sewed. She was irritated when Kennicott was jocular about "these frightful big doings that are going on." She regarded the affair as an attack on Gopher Prairie's timidity in pleasure. "I'll make 'em lively, if nothing else. I'll make 'em stop regarding parties as committee–meetings."
Kennicott usually considered himself the master of the house. At his desire, she went hunting, which was his symbol of happiness, and she ordered porridge for breakfast, which was his symbol of morality. But when he came home on the afternoon before the housewarming he found himself a slave, an intruder, a blunderer. Carol wailed, "Fix the furnace so you won't have to touch it after supper. And for heaven's sake take that horrible old door–mat off the porch. And put on your nice brown and white shirt. Why did you come home so late? Would you mind hurrying? Here it is almost suppertime, and those fiends are just as likely as not to come at seven instead of eight. PLEASE hurry!"
She was as unreasonable as an amateur leading woman on a first night, and he was reduced to humility. When she came down to supper, when she stood in the doorway, he gasped.  He was stirred to rise from the table and to hold the chair for her; and all through supper he ate his bread dry because he felt that she would think him common if he said "Will you hand me the butter?"
IV
She had reached the calmness of not caring whether her guests liked the party or not, and a state of satisfied suspense in regard to Bea's technique in serving, before Kennicott cried from the bay–window in the living–room, "Here comes somebody!" and Mr. and Mrs. Luke Dawson faltered in, at a quarter to eight. Then in a shy avalanche arrived the entire aristocracy of Gopher Prairie: all persons engaged in a profession, or earning more than twenty–five hundred dollars a year, or possessed of grandparents born in America.
Even while they were removing their overshoes they were peeping at the new decorations. Carol saw Dave Dyer secretively turn over the gold pillows to find a price–tag, and heard Mr. Julius Flickerbaugh, the attorney, gasp, "Well, I'll be switched," as he viewed the vermilion print hanging against the Japanese obi. She was amused. But her high spirits slackened as she beheld them form in dress parade, in a long, silent, uneasy circle clear round the living–room. She felt that she had been magically whisked back to her first party, at Sam Clark's.
"Have I got to lift them, like so many pigs of iron? I don't know that I can make them happy, but I'll make them hectic."
A silver flame in the darkling circle, she whirled around, drew them with her smile, and sang, "I want my party to be noisy and undignified! This is the christening of my house, and I want you to help me have a bad influence on it, so that it will be a giddy house. For me, won't you all join in an old–fashioned square dance? And Mr. Dyer will call."
She had a record on the phonograph; Dave Dyer was capering in the center of the floor, loose–jointed, lean, small, rusty headed, pointed of nose, clapping his hands and shouting, "Swing y' pardners—alamun lef!"
Even the millionaire Dawsons and Ezra Stowbody and "Professor" George Edwin Mott danced, looking only slightly foolish; and by rushing about the room and being coy and coaxing to all persons over forty–five, Carol got them into a waltz and a Virginia Reel. But when she left them to disenjoy themselves in their own way Harry Haydock put a one–step record on the phonograph, the younger people took the floor, and all the elders sneaked back to their chairs, with crystallized smiles which meant, "Don't believe I'll try this one myself, but I do enjoy watching the youngsters dance."
Half of them were silent; half resumed the discussions of that afternoon in the store. Ezra Stowbody hunted for something to say, hid a yawn, and offered to Lyman Cass, the owner of the flour–mill, "How d' you folks like the new furnace, Lym? Huh? So."
"Oh, let them alone. Don't pester them. They must like it, or they wouldn't do it." Carol warned herself. But they gazed at her so expectantly when she flickered past that she was reconvinced that in their debauches of respectability they had lost the power of play as well as the power of impersonal thought. Even the dancers were gradually crushed by the invisible force of fifty perfectly pure and well–behaved and negative minds; and they sat down, two by two. In twenty minutes the party was again elevated to the decorum of a prayer–meeting.
"We're going to do something exciting," Carol exclaimed to her new confidante, Vida Sherwin. She saw that in the growing quiet her voice had carried across the room. Nat Hicks, Ella Stowbody, and Dave Dyer were abstracted, fingers and lips slightly moving. She knew with a cold certainty that Dave was rehearsing his "stunt" about the Norwegian catching the hen, Ella running over the first lines of "An Old Sweetheart of Mine," and Nat thinking of his popular parody on Mark Antony's oration.
"But I will not have anybody use the word 'stunt' in my house," she whispered to Miss Sherwin.
"That's good. I tell you: why not have Raymond Wutherspoon sing?"
"Raymie? Why, my dear, he's the most sentimental yearner in town!"
"See here, child! Your opinions on house–decorating are sound, but your opinions of people are rotten! Raymie does wag his tail. But the poor dear—Longing for what he calls 'self–expression' and no training in anything except selling shoes. But he can sing. And some day when he gets away from Harry Haydock's patronage and ridicule, he'll do something fine."
Carol apologized for her superciliousness. She urged Raymie, and warned the planners of "stunts," "We all want you to sing, Mr. Wutherspoon. You're the only famous actor I'm going to let appear on the stage tonight."
While Raymie blushed and admitted, "Oh, they don't want to hear me," he was clearing his throat, pulling his clean handkerchief farther out of his breast pocket, and thrusting his fingers between the buttons of his vest.
In her affection for Raymie's defender, in her desire to "discover artistic talent," Carol prepared to be delighted by the recital.
Raymie sang "Fly as a Bird," "Thou Art My Dove," and "When the Little Swallow Leaves Its Tiny Nest," all in a reasonably bad offertory tenor.
Carol was shuddering with the vicarious shame which sensitive people feel when they listen to an "elocutionist" being humorous, or to a precocious child publicly doing badly what no child should do at all. She wanted to laugh at the gratified importance in Raymie's half–shut eyes; she wanted to weep over the meek ambitiousness which clouded like an aura his pale face, flap ears, and sandy pompadour. She tried to look admiring, for the benefit of Miss Sherwin, that trusting admirer of all that was or conceivably could be the good, the true, and the beautiful.
At the end of the third ornithological lyric Miss Sherwin roused from her attitude of inspired vision and breathed to Carol, "My! That was sweet! Of course Raymond hasn't an unusually good voice, but don't you think he puts such a lot of feeling into it?"
Carol lied blackly and magnificently, but without originality: "Oh yes, I do think he has so much FEELING!"
She saw that after the strain of listening in a cultured manner the audience had collapsed; had given up their last hope of being amused.   After that you will probably break your knees and shoulder–blades."
Much attention and incredulity. A few eyebrows indicating a verdict that Doc Kennicott's bride was noisy and improper.
"I shall choose the most vicious, like Juanita Haydock and myself, as the shepherds. The rest of you are wolves. Your shoes are the sheep. The wolves go out into the hall. The shepherds scatter the sheep through this room, then turn off all the lights, and the wolves crawl in from the hall and in the darkness they try to get the shoes away from the shepherds—who are permitted to do anything except bite and use black–jacks. The wolves chuck the captured shoes out into the hall. No one excused! Come on! Shoes off!"
Every one looked at every one else and waited for every one else to begin.
Carol kicked off her silver slippers, and ignored the universal glance at her arches. The embarrassed but loyal Vida Sherwin unbuttoned her high black shoes.  You're like the gals I used to go horseback–riding with, back in the sixties. Ain't much accustomed to attending parties barefoot, but here goes!"
The others giggled and followed.
When the sheep had been penned up, in the darkness the timorous wolves crept into the living–room, squealing, halting, thrown out of their habit of stolidity by the strangeness of advancing through nothingness toward a waiting foe, a mysterious foe which expanded and grew more menacing. The wolves peered to make out landmarks, they touched gliding arms which did not seem to be attached to a body, they quivered with a rapture of fear. Reality had vanished. A yelping squabble suddenly rose, then Juanita Haydock's high titter, and Guy Pollock's astonished, "Ouch! Quit! You're scalping me!"
Mrs. Luke Dawson galloped backward on stiff hands and knees into the safety of the lighted hallway, moaning, "I declare, I nev' was so upset in my life!" But the propriety was shaken out of her, and she delightedly continued to ejaculate "Nev' in my LIFE" as she saw the living–room door opened by invisible hands and shoes hurling through it, as she heard from the darkness beyond the door a squawling, a bumping, a resolute "Here's a lot of shoes. Come on, you wolves. Ow! Y' would, would you!"
When Carol abruptly turned on the lights in the embattled living–room, half of the company were sitting back against the walls, where they had craftily remained throughout the engagement, but in the middle of the floor Kennicott was wrestling with Harry Haydock—their collars torn off, their hair in their eyes; and the owlish Mr. Julius Flickerbaugh was retreating from Juanita Haydock, and gulping with unaccustomed laughter. Guy Pollock's discreet brown scarf hung down his back. Young Rita Simons's net blouse had lost two buttons, and betrayed more of her delicious plump shoulder than was regarded as pure in Gopher Prairie. Whether by shock, disgust, joy of combat, or physical activity, all the party were freed from their years of social decorum. George Edwin Mott giggled; Luke Dawson twisted his beard; Mrs. Clark insisted, "I did too, Sam—I got a shoe—I never knew I could fight so terrible!"
Carol was certain that she was a great reformer.
She mercifully had combs, mirrors, brushes, needle and thread ready. She permitted them to restore the divine decency of buttons.
The grinning Bea brought down–stairs a pile of soft thick sheets of paper with designs of lotos blossoms, dragons, apes, in cobalt and crimson and gray, and patterns of purple birds flying among sea–green trees in the valleys of Nowhere.
"These," Carol announced, "are real Chinese masquerade costumes. I got them from an importing shop in Minneapolis. You are to put them on over your clothes, and please forget that you are Minnesotans, and turn into mandarins and coolies and—and samurai (isn't it?), and anything else you can think of."
While they were shyly rustling the paper costumes she disappeared. Ten minutes after she gazed down from the stairs upon grotesquely ruddy Yankee heads above Oriental robes, and cried to them, "The Princess Winky Poo salutes her court!"
As they looked up she caught their suspense of admiration. They saw an airy figure in trousers and coat of green brocade edged with gold; a high gold collar under a proud chin; black hair pierced with jade pins; a languid peacock fan in an out–stretched hand; eyes uplifted to a vision of pagoda towers. When she dropped her pose and smiled down she discovered Kennicott apoplectic with domestic pride—and gray Guy Pollock staring beseechingly. For a second she saw nothing in all the pink and brown mass of their faces save the hunger of the two men.
She shook off the spell and ran down. "We're going to have a real Chinese concert. Messrs. Pollock, Kennicott, and, well, Stowbody are drummers; the rest of us sing and play the fife."
The fifes were combs with tissue paper; the drums were tabourets and the sewing–table. Loren Wheeler, editor of the Dauntless, led the orchestra, with a ruler and a totally inaccurate sense of rhythm. The music was a reminiscence of tom–toms heard at circus fortune–telling tents or at the Minnesota State Fair, but the whole company pounded and puffed and whined in a sing–song, and looked rapturous.
Before they were quite tired of the concert Carol led them in a dancing procession to the dining–room, to blue bowls of chow mein, with Lichee nuts and ginger preserved in syrup.
None of them save that city–rounder Harry Haydock had heard of any Chinese dish except chop sooey. With agreeable doubt they ventured through the bamboo shoots into the golden fried noodles of the chow mein; and Dave Dyer did a not very humorous Chinese dance with Nat Hicks; and there was hubbub and contentment.
Carol relaxed, and found that she was shockingly tired. She had carried them on her thin shoulders. She could not keep it up. She longed for her father, that artist at creating hysterical parties. She thought of smoking a cigarette, to shock them, and dismissed the obscene thought before it was quite formed. She wondered whether they could for five minutes be coaxed to talk about something besides the winter top of Knute Stamquist's Ford, and what Al Tingley had said about his mother–in–law. She sighed, "Oh, let 'em alone. I've done enough." She crossed her trousered legs, and snuggled luxuriously above her saucer of ginger; she caught Pollock's congratulatory still smile, and thought well of herself for having thrown a rose light on the pallid lawyer; repented the heretical supposition that any male save her husband existed; jumped up to find Kennicott and whisper, "Happy, my lord? . . . No, it didn't cost much!"
"Best party this town ever saw. Only—Don't cross your legs in that costume. Shows your knees too plain."
She was vexed. She resented his clumsiness. She returned to Guy Pollock and talked of Chinese religions—not that she knew anything whatever about Chinese religions, but he had read a book on the subject as, on lonely evenings in his office, he had read at least one book on every subject in the world. Guy's thin maturity was changing in her vision to flushed youth and they were roaming an island in the yellow sea of chatter when she realized that the guests were beginning that cough which indicated, in the universal instinctive language, that they desired to go home and go to bed.
While they asserted that it had been "the nicest party they'd ever seen—my! so clever and original," she smiled tremendously, shook hands, and cried many suitable things regarding children, and being sure to wrap up warmly, and Raymie's singing and Juanita Haydock's prowess at games. Then she turned wearily to Kennicott in a house filled with quiet and crumbs and shreds of Chinese costumes.
 Now you've showed 'em how, they won't go on having the same old kind of parties and stunts and everything. Here! Don't touch a thing! Done enough. Pop up to bed, and I'll clear up."
His wise surgeon's–hands stroked her shoulder, and her irritation at his clumsiness was lost in his strength.

From the Weekly Dauntless:
One of the most delightful social events of recent months was held Wednesday evening in the housewarming of Dr. and Mrs. Kennicott, who have completely redecorated their charming home on Poplar Street, and is now extremely nifty in modern color scheme. The doctor and his bride were at home to their numerous friends and a number of novelties in diversions were held, including a Chinese orchestra in original and genuine Oriental costumes, of which Ye Editor was leader. Dainty refreshments were served in true Oriental style, and one and all voted a delightful time.

The week after, the Chet Dashaways gave a party. The circle of mourners kept its place all evening, and Dave Dyer did the "stunt" of the Norwegian and the hen.

The hardest part of the webscraper was how it wouldn't scrape the price from the website. For some reason the numbers were being output in JS so we needed to use Geckodriver to open the website in firefox and grab the numbers in js.
Furthermore, we spent awhile trying to figure out how to convert our two prices to a percent difference, but for some unknown reason it wouldn't work so we had to scrap it.

Gender-Bias Lawsuit Against Sterling Jewelers to Go Forward (Reuters)
The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan has “restored” a nationwide class action arbitration suit against Sterling Jewelers (which includes the brands Kay, Jared, and Zales) by its former employees. This now allows “at least 70,000” former and current female employees to pursue claims that the retailer “paid them less and promoted them less often than men for a decade.” Initially in January 2018, a lower-court judge ruled that “an arbitrator lacked power to include women in the class who had not said they wanted to join it, rather than only the 254 who authorized it.”
