It is Paris, 1939. Twenty-eight year old Eva Delectorskaya is at the funeral of her beloved younger brother. Standing among her family and friends she notices a stranger. Lucas Romer is a patrician looking Englishman with a secretive air and a persuasive manner. He also has a mysterious connection to Kolia, Eva's murdered brother. Romer recruits Eva and soon she is traveling to Scotland to be trained as a spy and work for his underground network. After a successful covert operation in Belgium, she is sent to New York City, where she is involved in manipulating the press in order to shift American public sentiment toward getting involved in WWII.
Three decades on and Eva has buried her dangerous history. She is now Sally Gilmartin, a respectable English widow, living in a picturesque Cotswold village. No one, not even her daughter Ruth, knows her real identity. But once a spy, always a spy. Sally has far too many secrets, and she has no one to trust. Before it is too late, she must confront the demons of her past. This time though she can't do it alone, she needs Ruth's help. "Restless" is a thrilling espionage novel set during the Second World War and a haunting portrait of a female spy. Full of tension and drama, emotion and history, this is storytelling at its finest.
William Boyd is the author of eight novels, three collections of short stories, and twelve screenplays that have been filmed. He has been the recipient of numerous awards, including the Whitbread Award for Best First Novel, the John Llewellyn Rhys Prize, the James Tait Black Memorial Prize, and the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for Fiction.

Jeffs Advance to Regional Finals with 5-0 Win Over New Paltz
Amherst (17-2) improved to 38-18 all-time in NCAA Tournament play and will now be looking to advance out of the regional rounds for the 16th time in the past 17 years. The Hawks (16-5) had their win streak snapped at six but end their season with a program record for victories as champions of the SUNYAC.
The Jeffs took all three doubles points in convincing fashion, beginning with Jennifer Newman '14 and Caroline Richman '13 improving to 13-2 as a duo with an 8-2 win at No. 3. Jordan Brewer '14 and Gabby Devlin '14 followed with a victory by the same score at No. 1, while Mimi Bell '11 and Natasha Brown '11 moved to 4-0 as a pair after their 8-4 win in the No. 2 match.
Amherst won the first set in all six singles matches, but only Brown and Laken King '11 would get to finish. After King defeated Paige Munroe by a score of 6-1, 6-0 at number six, Brown closed things out by not surrendering a single game in the number five matchup. Brown and King are now a combined 14-3 in singles matches this spring.
Sunday's regional final between Amherst and Middlebury will be a rematch of the NESCAC Championship semifinals, in which the Lord Jeffs came out on the winning end of a hard-fought 5-3 result. These teams also met last year in the NCAA regional finals, with Amherst advancing after a 5-1 win.
Sunday's match is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. Should inclement weather force play indoors, the match will begin at 2 p.m. at Grande Meadows Tennis Club in Longmeadow, Mass.

In celebration of the Royal Wedding, I offer a true Jewish recipe. A trip to London or anywhere in the UK cannot be complete without a pint of beer and a platter of fish and chips.
But, did you know that fish and chips is actually a Jewish dish? The battered and fried fish recipe was brought to England in the 1500s by Portuguese Sephardic Jews who had come to Britain to escape persecution. The crispy fish was called Pescado Frito. The history of the addition of fried potatoes is a bit blurry and may be credited to the Belgian recipe for fried potatoes. By the Victorian era, eating fried fish was very popular throughout the UK and was referred to in a Dickens novel and other popular fiction.
The first fish and chips shop opened in London in 1860 and was owned by Joseph Malin. The fish was fried in oil in "the Jewish fashion" and served with potato wedges that were rounded and resembled the fin of a fish. Fish and chips is a delicious and crispy treat. While the recipe is easy to prepare, the timing can be tricky.
Have all of your ingredients measured and prepared and your hungry diners assembled. Once the fish is fried, it should be served immediately so that the crispy batter does not get soggy.
Fish and chips—in the Jewish style
6 cups neutral flavored oil (I use canola or safflower) 2 pounds Russet potatoes, peeled and cut into ½ inch thick wedges 1 cup all purpose flour 2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning Pinch of cayenne pepper 1 cup dark beer (I like Guinness) 2 egg whites, whisked until they at soft peaks Salt and pepper 4 6-ounce fish filets, be sure to use firm, thick fish such as cod or halibut Malt vinegar
1. Heat the oil to 275 in a large, heavy pan. Blanch the potatoes in the oil until they are opaque and soft (about 3-5 minutes). Transfer the potatoes to a sheet pan lined with paper towels and allow them to cool completely. (this will allow the starch to crystallize and ensure a crispy chip)
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, Old Bay, cayenne and beer. Fold in the egg whites. Place the bowl inside a large bowl that is filled with ice water. This will help the batter stay crispy and delicate.
3. Pat dry the fish filets, dredge them in the batter and place them into the heated oil. Cook until they are crispy and brown (about 3-5 minutes). Transfer to a pan lined with paper towels. Add the blanched chips to the hot oil and fry until the chips are golden brown (about 3 minutes).
4. Serve the fish and chips with malt vinegar, tartare sauce, horseradish sauce or your favorite condiment.

Dodgers' home plate becomes dinner plate
April 15, 1962: Clown Emmett Kelly makes himself right at home at Dodger Stadium using home plate as a dinner plate.
Kelly was promoting the International Super Circus then performing at the Sports Arena. Retired staff photographer Art Rogers wrote on his caption sheet:
"'Kelly At The Plate' — before game, great clown Emmett Kelly tickled the funny bones of more than 40,000 fans as he moseyed about the playing field. At one point, he swept off home plate, sat himself down, laid out a napkin bound morsel on the plate, and made a dish of it with great relish."
Dodgers lost the game, 6-3, to the Milwaukee Braves.
In 1957, Dodgers owner Walter O'Malley hired Kelly as the team mascot. His Dodgers-related appearances included a visit to Wrigley Field, below, then home field of the Los Angeles Angels, at the time a minor league team owned by the Dodgers.
Clown Emmett Kelly cleans off home plate between innings at Wrigley Field in South Los Angeles. This photo was published in the June 30, 1957 Times. Credit: Los Angeles Times.

unicode possibilities
It would be nice if cl-user would display unicode input for CJK text. With PCL and On Lisp getting new printings in Japan, it might be beneficial to attract more brain-share from that side of the world. Would this be considered out of cl-user.net's scope?

re: unicode possibilities
I have to think about it.
The use of English as the standard language is prefered so that the information is useable by most lispers.
I don't mind some other language content though.

I know it's been ages since you posted anything on this, but it seems such a shame not to finish it! With all the work you put into this story and how wonderful it is up to this point, (you really are so talented,) I'm getting down on my knees and begging you to come back to this story!

This story is simply FASCINATING and extremely well written and everyone is incredibly well-characterized. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE (no really, LOVE) to see how it all goes down, to the very end of "Points." :)
Even though it is very much unfinished, thank you for sharing this with the fandom.

| XscouselondonerX chapter 34 . 9/24/2013
I absolutely love this fic. Your OC is such a brilliant fit it's hard to believe that she wasn't actually in the original series. Please continue - you can't leave the second world war unfinished haha.
| missm chapter 34 . 8/18/2013
hi, the link to the picture of Eleanor on your profile does no longer seem to work - at least for me:-)
if you have another link, please post it whenever you have time - i love your story and the picture was just so right for it...
| coffee14 chapter 26 . 7/4/2013
I'm a new reader to this amazing story and the way you incorporated all the girls to Easy is so natural like this would actually happen if nurses were on the front line. And I hope Winters and Ellie make up soon I can't stand them not being lovey dovey!

I can't get enough of this story! I'm making myself go to bed right now but I had to review first. You have a beautiful writing style and the attention to fact and detail makes the story just so vivid. Love love love.
| Skip chapter 34 . 12/23/2012
I loved this, worth the wait. Loved the Eleanor/Winters interaction! Can't wait for the next chapter
| arromanches chapter 34 . 12/23/2012
AAAAHHHHTHAT WAS SO GOOOOODDDDD. Utterly phenomenal, and you have such a way with dialogue! All of the conversation between Dobie & Eleanor is /perfect/, and as far as moving the story along this chapter does it very well! I love being able to see Ellie assist with this mission, and the contrast you have in this chapter -between how nervous and jumpy Dobie makes her feel (in the beginning at least), and how much calmer she is when she's with Dick - is so perfect. Also, "You looked lost before and all I really wanted to do was embrace you and hold you and make it go away" ARE YOU /TRYING/ TO KILL ME? :) Overall, amazing chapter lovely; it was well worth waiting for! 3

For One Day Only: $1=$4, Thanks to Matching from BIG Donors
Israeli elections will take place on January 22, 2013, according to an announcement made by the Israeli cabinet on Sunday.
Analysts speculate the early elections were timed to take advantage of the prime minister's Likud party's strong showing in popular polls.
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said he decided to call for early elections because of difficulties in forming an agreement with coalition partners on the 2013 budget.
Elections were originally scheduled for fall 2013.

Disk Drill Media Recovery
Mac OS Utilities
Disk Drill is the most user-friendly data recovery software app for Mac. It can recover lost data from your Mac hard drive, or any disk you can mount to your Mac: USB flash thumb drives, cameras, card-readers, external hard drives, iPods (Shuffle, Nano, Classic, Mini), mobile phones, other Macs connected in target mode, etc.
Disk Drill can help you recover your lost pictures and photos, music, documents, applications, videos and other data. "Quick Scan" and "Search for lost partitions" are capable of recovering previously deleted data if its meta-data is still stored in the file system, or can be reconstructed. Alternatively, "Deep Scan" works on a lower level and analyzes disks as binary entities; it can get your data back based on file signatures, however, original filenames, locations and properties might be unrecoverable.
Disk Drill Media Recovery supports all known file systems: HFS, HFS+, FAT16 and FAT32, NTFS, EXT3, EXT4 and will even work with disks that were formatted or initialized and currently have no file system on them. If your data is still there and recoverable, Disk Drill will get it back for you.
!! Please Note: Disk Drill Media Recovery cannot recover data from any iOS devices like iPod Touch, iPhone or iPad.
!! Important: Disk Drill Media Recovery may not be able to see any disks (external and internal) on Mac OS X 10.8+ on the first run. Visit our knowledgebase for a quick solution: http://cleverfiles.com/ddmr
** Data protection **
Many users find Disk Drill's features for DMG backups extremely useful: save your data by creating a Disk Image (DMG) of any failing disk or partition for further data recovery, so you no longer need the original media. Later on, you can mount this Disk Image to your Mac and recover data from it.
Have you ever moved something to Trash, only to realize just moments after emptying it that… it was the only copy? Guaranteed Recovery comes to the rescue! Disk Drill Media Recovery adds the much needed "Recently Deleted" feature to your Mac, so you have some time to recover deleted items even when your Trash is emptied.
Disk Drill can also monitor your ATA, SATA and eSATA disks for hardware failures by polling the S.M.A.R.T. status of available hard drives.
** Extra features **
- Scanning session simple saving and loading
- Flexible filters for searching & sorting found files
- Live preview before scanning is complete
- Master password to prevent unauthorized access

Miami now trails the 1971-72 Los Angeles Lakers -- who hold the NBA record -- by eight games for the longest winning streak ever.Miami got off to another slow start and trailed the Pistons 54-51 at halftime. The Heat had to battle back from two big deficits in their previous two games before facing Detroit.Reigning NBA Most Valuable Player James said he's not worried about the slow starts because the Heat know they can always grind teams down in the fourth quarter."I would rather come out the way we've been coming out and finish strong rather than finish weak," James said.Dwyane Wade had 19 points and Shane Battier scored eight of his 11 points in a dominant second half by the Heat."We just picked it up to another level in the fourth," James said.On Wednesday, the Heat were down by 27 points in the third quarter to James' former team, the Cleveland Cavaliers, before storming back to pull out a 97-85 win."We've got to do a better job of getting stops in the first quarter but we are a team that just wears the other team down," James said.Miami beat the Boston Celtics on Monday after trailing by as many as 17, and they got off to a lethargic start against the Pistons.Detroit shot a whopping 63.2 percent in the first quarter. They went on a 10-2 run late in the first to lead 28-20 heading into the second.Miami turned up the firepower after halftime by forcing a half dozen turnovers in the third quarter.Wade then scored six points during an 8-0 run that put Miami up 60-59 halfway through the third and the Heat cruised from there."We were flat in first half but in second half our urgency was much better," said coach Erik Spoelstra. "In the second half I like the way we finished the game."The Pistons are headed in another direction. They lost for the 10th consecutive game despite a 23-point, 15-rebound performance from Greg Monroe.Jose Calderon and Kyle Singler each finished with 18 points in the loss.The Heat play Sunday at home against Charlotte before going on the road to face Orlando, Chicago, New Orleans and San Antonio.gph/bb

Module 11 Software Project Planning Version 2 CSE IIT, Kharagpur Lesson 29 Staffing Level Estimation and Scheduling Version 2 CSE IIT, Kharagpur Specific Instructional Objectives At the end of this lesson the student would be able to: • Identify why careful planning of staffing pattern for a project is so important. • Determine numerically how change of project duration affects the overall effort and cost. • Identify five necessary tasks taken by a project manager in order to perform project scheduling. • Explain the usefulness of work breakdown structure. • Explain activity networks and critical path method. • Develop the Gantt chart for a project. • Develop PERT chart for a project. Staffing level estimation Once the effort required to develop a software has been determined, it is necessary to determine the staffing requirement for the project. Putnam first studied the problem of what should be a proper staffing pattern for software projects. He extended the work of Norden who had earlier investigated the staffing pattern of research and development (R&D) type of projects. In order to appreciate the staffing pattern of software projects, Norden's and Putnam's results must be understood. Norden's Work Norden studied the staffing patterns of several R & D projects. He found that the staffing pattern can be approximated by the Rayleigh distribution curve (as shown in fig. 11.6). Norden represented the Rayleigh curve by the following equation: E = K/t²d * t * e-t² / 2 t²d Where E is the effort required at time t. E is an indication of the number of engineers (or the staffing level) at any particular time during the duration of the project, K is the area under the curve, and td is the time at which the curve attains its maximum value. It must be remembered that the results of Norden are applicable to general R & D projects and were not meant to model the staffing pattern of software development projects. Version 2 CSE IIT, Kharagpur Effort per Unit Time td Time Fig. 11.6: Rayleigh curve Putnam's Work Putnam studied the problem of staffing of software projects and found that the software development has characteristics very similar to other R & D projects studied by Norden and that the Rayleigh-Norden curve can be used to relate the number of delivered lines of code to the effort and the time required to develop the project. By analyzing a large number of army projects, Putnam derived the following expression: L = Ck K1/3td4/3 The various terms of this expression are as follows: • K is the total effort expended (in PM) in the product development and L is the product size in KLOC. • td corresponds to the time of system and integration testing. Therefore, td can be approximately considered as the time required to develop the software. Version 2 CSE IIT, Kharagpur • Ck is the state of technology constant and reflects constraints that impede the progress of the programmer. Typical values of Ck = 2 for poor development environment (no methodology, poor documentation, and review, etc.), Ck = 8 for good software development environment (software engineering principles are adhered to), Ck = 11 for an excellent environment (in addition to following software engineering principles, automated tools and techniques are used). The exact value of Ck for a specific project can be computed from the historical data of the organization developing it. Putnam suggested that optimal staff build-up on a project should follow the Rayleigh curve. Only a small number of engineers are needed at the beginning of a project to carry out planning and specification tasks. As the project progresses and more detailed work is required, the number of engineers reaches a peak. After implementation and unit testing, the number of project staff falls. However, the staff build-up should not be carried out in large installments. The team size should either be increased or decreased slowly whenever required to match the Rayleigh-Norden curve. Experience shows that a very rapid build up of project staff any time during the project development correlates with schedule slippage. It should be clear that a constant level of manpower through out the project duration would lead to wastage of effort and increase the time and effort required to develop the product. If a constant number of engineers are used over all the phases of a project, some phases would be overstaffed and the other phases would be understaffed causing inefficient use of manpower, leading to schedule slippage and increase in cost. Effect of schedule change on cost By analyzing a large number of army projects, Putnam derived the following expression: L = CkK1/3td4/3 Where, K is the total effort expended (in PM) in the product development and L is the product size in KLOC, td corresponds to the time of system and integration testing and Ck is the state of technology constant and reflects constraints that impede the progress of the programmer Now by using the above expression it is obtained that, K = L3/Ck3td4 Or, Version 2 CSE IIT, Kharagpur K = C/td4 For the same product size, C = L3 / Ck3 is a constant. or, K1/K2 = td24/td14 or, K ∝ 1/td4 or, cost ∝ 1/td (as project development effort is equally proportional to project development cost) From the above expression, it can be easily observed that when the schedule of a project is compressed, the required development effort as well as project development cost increases in proportion to the fourth power of the degree of compression. It means that a relatively small compression in delivery schedule can result in substantial penalty of human effort as well as development cost. For example, if the estimated development time is 1 year, then in order to develop the product in 6 months, the total effort required to develop the product (and hence the project cost) increases 16 times. Project scheduling Project-task scheduling is an important project planning activity. It involves deciding which tasks would be taken up when. In order to schedule the project activities, a software project manager needs to do the following: 1. Identify all the tasks needed to complete the project. 2. Break down large tasks into small activities. 3. Determine the dependency among different activities. 4. Establish the most likely estimates for the time durations necessary to complete the activities. 5. Allocate resources to activities. 6. Plan the starting and ending dates for various activities. 7. Determine the critical path. A critical path is the chain of activities that determines the duration of the project. The first step in scheduling a software project involves identifying all the tasks necessary to complete the project. A good knowledge of the intricacies of the project and the development process helps the managers to effectively identify the important tasks of the project. Next, the large tasks are broken down into a logical set of small activities which would be assigned to different engineers. The work breakdown structure formalism helps the manager to breakdown the tasks systematically. Version 2 CSE IIT, Kharagpur After the project manager has broken down the tasks and created the work breakdown structure, he has to find the dependency among the activities. Dependency among the different activities determines the order in which the different activities would be carried out. If an activity A requires the results of another activity B, then activity A must be scheduled after activity B. In general, the task dependencies define a partial ordering among tasks, i.e. each tasks may precede a subset of other tasks, but some tasks might not have any precedence ordering defined between them (called concurrent task). The dependency among the activities are represented in the form of an activity network. Once the activity network representation has been worked out, resources are allocated to each activity. Resource allocation is typically done using a Gantt chart. After resource allocation is done, a PERT chart representation is developed. The PERT chart representation is suitable for program monitoring and control. For task scheduling, the project manager needs to decompose the project tasks into a set of activities. The time frame when each activity is to be performed is to be determined. The end of each activity is called milestone. The project manager tracks the progress of a project by monitoring the timely completion of the milestones. If he observes that the milestones start getting delayed, then he has to carefully control the activities, so that the overall deadline can still be met. Work breakdown structure Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is used to decompose a given task set recursively into small activities. WBS provides a notation for representing the major tasks need to be carried out in order to solve a problem. The root of the tree is labeled by the problem name. Each node of the tree is broken down into smaller activities that are made the children of the node. Each activity is recursively decomposed into smaller sub-activities until at the leaf level, the activities requires approximately two weeks to develop. Fig. 11.7 represents the WBS of an MIS (Management Information System) software. While breaking down a task into smaller tasks, the manager has to make some hard decisions. If a task is broken down into large number of very small activities, these can be carried out independently. Thus, it becomes possible to develop the product faster (with the help of additional manpower). Therefore, to be able to complete a project in the least amount of time, the manager needs to break large tasks into smaller ones, expecting to find more parallelism. However, it is not useful to subdivide tasks into units which take less than a week or two to execute. Very fine subdivision means that a disproportionate amount of time must be spent on preparing and revising various charts. Version 2 CSE IIT, Kharagpur Fig. 11.7: Work breakdown structure of an MIS problem Activity networks and critical path method WBS representation of a project is transformed into an activity network by representing activities identified in WBS along with their interdependencies. An activity network shows the different activities making up a project, their estimated durations, and interdependencies (as shown in fig. 11.8). Each activity is represented by a rectangular node and the duration of the activity is shown alongside each task. Managers can estimate the time durations for the different tasks in several ways. One possibility is that they can empirically assign durations to different tasks. This however is not a good idea, because software engineers often resent such unilateral decisions. A possible alternative is to let engineer himself estimate the time for an activity he can assigned to. However, some managers prefer to estimate the time for various activities themselves. Many managers believe that an aggressive schedule motivates the engineers to do a better and faster job. However, careful experiments have shown that unrealistically aggressive schedules not only cause engineers to compromise on intangible quality aspects, but also are a cause for schedule delays. A good way to achieve accurately in estimation of the task durations without creating undue schedule pressures is to have people set their own schedules.

The minimum time (MT) to complete the project is the maximum of all paths from start to finish. The earliest start (ES) time of a task is the maximum of all paths from the start to the task. The latest start time is the difference between MT and the maximum of all paths from this task to the finish. The earliest finish time (EF) of a task is the sum of the earliest start time of the task and the duration of the task. The latest finish (LF) time of a task can be obtained by subtracting maximum of all paths from this task to finish from MT. The slack time (ST) is LS – EF and equivalently can be written as LF – EF. The slack time (or float time) is the total time that a task may be delayed before it will affect the end time of the project. The slack time indicates the "flexibility" in starting and completion of tasks. A critical task is one with a zero slack time. A path from the start node to the finish node containing only critical tasks is called a critical path. These parameters for different tasks for the MIS problem are shown in the following table. Task ES EF LS LF ST Specification 0 15 0 15 0 Design database 15 60 15 60 0 Design GUI part 15 45 90 120 75 Code database 60 165 60 165 0 Code GUI part 45 90 120 165 75 Version 2 CSE IIT, Kharagpur Integrate and test 165 285 165 285 0 Write user manual 15 75 225 285 210 The critical paths are all the paths whose duration equals MT. The critical path in fig. 11.8 is shown with a blue arrow. Gantt chart Gantt charts are mainly used to allocate resources to activities. The resources allocated to activities include staff, hardware, and software. Gantt charts (named after its developer Henry Gantt) are useful for resource planning. A Gantt chart is a special type of bar chart where each bar represents an activity. The bars are drawn along a time line. The length of each bar is proportional to the duration of time planned for the corresponding activity. Gantt charts are used in software project management are actually an enhanced version of the standard Gantt charts. In the Gantt charts used for software project management, each bar consists of a white part and a shaded part. The shaded part of the bar shows the length of time each task is estimated to take. The white part shows the slack time, that is, the latest time by which a task must be finished. A Gantt chart representation for the MIS problem of fig. 11.8 is shown in the fig. 11.9. Fig. 11.9: Gantt chart representation of the MIS problem Version 2 CSE IIT, Kharagpur PERT chart PERT (Project Evaluation and Review Technique) charts consist of a network of boxes and arrows. The boxes represent activities and the arrows represent task dependencies. PERT chart represents the statistical variations in the project estimates assuming a normal distribution. Thus, in a PERT chart instead of making a single estimate for each task, pessimistic, likely, and optimistic estimates are made. The boxes of PERT charts are usually annotated with the pessimistic, likely, and optimistic estimates for every task. Since all possible completion times between the minimum and maximum duration for every task has to be considered, there are not one but many critical paths, depending on the permutations of the estimates for each task. This makes critical path analysis in PERT charts very complex. A critical path in a PERT chart is shown by using thicker arrows. The PERT chart representation of the MIS problem of fig. 11.8 is shown in fig. 11.10. PERT charts are a more sophisticated form of activity chart. In activity diagrams only the estimated task durations are represented. Since, the actual durations might vary from the estimated durations, the utility of the activity diagrams are limited. Gantt chart representation of a project schedule is helpful in planning the utilization of resources, while PERT chart is useful for monitoring the timely progress of activities. Also, it is easier to identify parallel activities in a project using a PERT chart. Project managers need to identify the parallel activities in a project for assignment to different engineers.

Justify your answer. Version 2 CSE IIT, Kharagpur 16. For the same number of lines of code and the same development team size, rank the following software projects in order of their estimated development time. Show reasons behind your answer. • A text editor • An employee pay roll system • An operating system for a new computer 17. Explain Norden's model in the context of staffing requirements for a software project. 18. Explain how can Putnam's model be used to compute the change in project cost with project duration. What are the main disadvantages of using Putnam's model to compute the additional costs incurred due to schedule compression? How can you overcome them? 19. Explain why adding more manpower to an already late project makes it later. 20. Suppose you have estimated the normal development time of a moderate-sized software product to be 5 months. You have also estimated that it will cost Rs. 50,000/- to develop the software product. Now, the customer comes and tells you that he wants you to accelerate the delivery time by 10%. How much additional cost would you charge the customer for this accelerated delivery? Irrespective of whether you take less time or more time to develop the product, you are essentially developing the same product.

Normally software project planning activity is undertaken □ before the development starts to plan the activities to be undertaken during development □ once the development activities start □ after the completion of the project monitoring and control □ none of the above 2. Which of the following estimation is carried out first by a project manager during project planning? □ estimation of cost □ estimation of the duration of the project □ project size estimation □ estimation of development effort 3. Sliding Window Planning involves □ planning a project before development starts □ planning progressively as development proceeds □ planning a project after development starts □ none of the above 4.

Justify your answer. 1. Size of a project, as used in COCOMO is the size of the final executable code in bytes. 2. According to the COCOMO model, cost is the fundamental attribute of a software product, based on which size and effort are estimated. 3. If we increase the size of a software product by two times then the time required to develop that software product would be double. 4. The number of development personnel required for any software development project can be obtained by dividing the total (estimated) effort by the total (estimated) duration of the project. 5. For the development of the same product, the larger is the size of a software development team, the faster is the product development. (for simplicity, assume that all engineers are equally proficient and have exactly similar experience). 6. As a project manager it would be worthwhile on your part to reduce the project duration by half provided the customer agrees to pay for the increased manpower requirements. 7.

When he was a young Ontario Provincial Police officer in Northern Ontario, she seduced him with her bronzed curves and perfect tone. Nels Boehme, 78, bought a 1953 Gibson Les Paul solidbody guitar for $175 more than five decades ago. He did enough research to know exactly what the pristine instrument's appreciated value was, and sold it yesterday for $16,750 to a Montreal recording studio owner who responded to an Internet ad that specified "no dickering" on the price. "This pleases me to no end, because I would not want my instrument to go to a dealer," Mr. Boehme, pictured, said. "Everybody around home is angry with me for doing this, but I'm 78 -- how many years can I let it sit there and appreciate?"
