FAM and its older brother, Natural Family Planning (NFP), have been studied in scientific research for decades. Most recently the effectiveness of FAM was evaluated in a study which lasted 20 years and involved 900 women. When practiced correctly (aka – not breaking the rules), FAM used as contraception was found to be 99.4% effective – just as effective as the birth control pill.

Losey's achievement as a director can be debated. Though he made a couple of fine films in the 1960s (The Servant and Accident) and one or two other notable oddities, in later years his work went into drastic decline: despite his considerable reputation, the money dried up and one project after another fizzled out. What seems beyond doubt is his character. On the evidence of David Caute's inquiries among both friends and foes, Joseph Losey was an unregenerate shit.
Caute doesn't set out to do a Kitty Kelley - he doesn't need to - and, never having met Losey, he has no personal scores to settle. One wishes, then, that he had resisted referring to his subject as 'Joe', an impertinence that nags throughout the book. That familiarity aside, one gets the impression of a biographer working very much on the outside of his subject. Losey on the inside may not have been an agreeable prospect, but he did often inspire fierce devotion, and this is something it would be useful to understand. Caute tends to be long on information but short on insight, which, given the unprepossessing nature of his story, rather hobbles the book's stride.
Born in Wisconsin in 1909 to an Episcopalian family, Losey grew to resent both his underachieving father and his overambitious mother. It was a household which always seemed to rely on inheritances that never materialised, an early prefigurement of Losey's vexed attitude to money. Educated at Dartmouth and Harvard, he moved to New York and began working in the theatre. During the 1930s he also produced radio dramas of a highly didactic bent and, more significantly, involved himself with the Communist underground. It was an allegiance that would rebound on him when the HUAC witch-hunts began in earnest. In July 1951, after extensive surveillance by the FBI, Losey fled the country to escape a subpoena.
He chose London as a refuge, though even here he was dogged by the 'American Inquisition' over passport problems. His sister, Mary, was also subjected to investigation in the wake of her brother's flight. Despite her innocence, Losey never expressed any remorse for the trials she went through: 'Joe didn't even ask me about it. When I saw him he said, 'Yeah, tough.' ' Such unfeelingness was sadly typical. Caute quotes a memo Losey wrote to himself in April 1945:
NEVER BE NICE to anyone or about anything, if it gets in the way of your job. NEVER AT ANY PRICE permit personal indignity or lack of respect to you as director from the producer on down.
He adhered to these resolutions all his life, and not merely within a professional sphere. Never short of female company, he treated most women - including the four he married - with callous disregard, a legacy perhaps of his unsatisfactory relationship with his mother. She is, according to Caute, 'the ghost in the machine of his art' and was, in the words of one of Losey's friends, 'difficult, cantankerous, domineeering, ungracious, ungrateful, not very likeable'. Mother and son clearly had plenty in common.
Beached in London, without money or reputation, Losey was rescued by Dirk Bogarde, who was impressed by the director and agreed to take part in The S1eeping Tiger in 1953. The five films they worked on together add up to Losey's most successful collaboration but Bogarde eventually found himself discarded when Losey threw in his lot with Richard Burton and Liz Taylor. The one-time Communist had a weakness for baronial luxury, and was seduced by the Burtons' ostentation. Bogarde recalls Losey proudly displaying a Cartier watch - a gift from Taylor - and remembers the director's fury when Bogarde remarked 'that I liked him better in the days when he wore a 'tin one' . . .'
For all his nouvelle richesse, Losey's work during the Burton years (his 'ornate' period of the late 1960s) was pretty awful. Few had a good word to say about Boom] or Secret Ceremony. Even his Palme d'Or winner, The Go-Between, seems overrated now.
Though he details the Losey oeuvre with impeccable thoroughness, Caute rarely seems engaged by it. Losey did not have the intellectual rigour of an 'auteur', he thinks, and the work is deficient in spontaneity and humour. The critic Gilles Jacob observed 'a sort of abstraction, a laboratory chill in the construction of (Losey's) characters', which sorts well with the man Caute presents. In the last decade of his life he struggled with ill-health and a booze problem, which made his company even less attractive.
There are interesting chimes with Orson Welles. Both men were born in Wisconsin. Both bloated to Falstaffian rotundity. Both spent the twilight of their careers floundering in money troubles and unfulfilled projects. Losey wanted to do Proust's A la recherche with Harold Pinter, and Malcolm Lowry's Under the Volcano and Patrick White's Voss as well - all were abandoned. But unlike Welles he never made a Citizen Kane or a Magnificent Ambersons, and the knowledge of it soured him irretrievably.
He died in June 1984. De mortuis nil nisi bonum is always a difficult principle to uphold; in the case of this bullying, conceited, morose, untrustworthy man, it's well nigh impossible.

Kiwi Insider John Nielsen stayed at The Club at The Saujana on his recent trip to Malaysia, and found that this hotel in Kuala Lumpur was the true highlight of his vacation. This is the perfect hotel to go to if you want to have a golf vacation in Malaysia. Check it out!
There a few ball sports that puts mankind against a ball, but no other opponent, just a small hole, rolling fairways, sand dunes and inch cut green's. Golf is often described as a "frustrating, but beautiful game", where else can you walk around hitting a ball into tree's, lakes and in the same breath of air yell out a few names and on the last fairway drive the perfect shot into the green and come back for more punishment!
I realized upon taking up the game a few years ago that even with its frustration there are a tremendous amount of highlights to be found when playing golf…or trying should I say! The location of golf courses can often be quite spectacular and it can be a superb way to experience the countryside. When travelling I now always pack my golf shoes and a small bag with important elements of the gear. I rarely carry my set of golf clubs as I have found over the years that in most cases good golf clubs pay attention to those details, as was the case in Saujana, Kuala Lumpur.
Malaysia has a varied and beautiful countryside and in general the weather is ideal for a round of golf. It was with great sense of anticipation that visited the re-vamped Club at Saujana, a boutique resort-in-the-city of Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia. I had known it as a "Hyatt" that I always was very found of. I was not to be disappointed.
The hotel has been beautifully re-designed featuring stylish Asian inspired interiors. There is a wonderful calmness around the properties tranquil ponds and landscaped grounds. After a few hectic days down town in KL arriving at this city resort feels like I have just arrived on an isolated island retreat. The 25 min drive or 15 km from downtown is a breeze. The soft music and warm welcome greets me, as I am escoted to a Club Room. The Club at Saujana offers a great range of room styles, my room has plenty of space to lounge about in, but I am short of time to lounge about, so I head straight to the first rate fitness centre. After the work out and sauna I relax by the 39-lap pool before dinner, the lap pool is such a great addition, rarely are swimmers given a purpose built lap pool to do laps in.
I need an early night before my engagement with the challenges of the golf course, I tell myself it's hardly the US Masters that I am playing, but knowing my playing partners I would like to at least keep the ball on the fairway and not in the lakes!
After a few too many restaurant meals in Kuala Lumpur, I decide on room service and a glass of red wine. The elegantly decorated trolley arrives and I kick back watching some show. I am totally relaxed in this environment, the comfort of the bed is perfect and I soon find myself in a deep sleep.
As I wake up to another nice day I stretch out with a morning swim, I am sure a certain Mr. Woods would do this to limber up before hitting the course! Breakfast is enjoyed in the Club Lounge, fresh juice, herbal teas and a great selection of breakfast items has given me the ideal start to the day.
The calmness of the resort is everywhere to be found, staff greet one warmly and I feel completely at ease as stroll to the impressive Club House overlooking the two courses final holes of the Saujana Golf & Country Club. The friendly staff kit me out and soon I am on the first tee with my playing partners. We are playing the Palm Course, feared by some and respected by many, just what I need! Also known as "The Cobra", it is 6610 yards (6 KM) off the blue tees and 6692 yards (6.1 KM) from the black. The 172-yard Par 3, 2nd hole has been rated as the "Most Difficult Hole in Malaysia"….another bit of news that I don't really need to know!
The conditions from tee to green are perfect, lush fairways, some say amongst the very best in Malaysia. Designed by Californian Ronald Fream a respected golf architect, the courses have been carved out of a former palm and rubber plantation and set among rolling hills and large tranquil lakes the course is a real treat to play. Our caddies do a great job in guiding us along; my caddy's handicap is 5…he gives me plenty of needed tips.
His advice is perfect as I managed to shoot a respectable score. It's always hard on a new course to know what club to use, but the caddy rarely gets it wrong. The 18th is a stunning par 5 that wraps around water off the tee shot before darting straight uphill. As the final ball drops in a big smile appears on our faces, we are all ready for a cool glass of local beer on the beautiful outdoor patio and maybe a taste of Malay food. Along with the snack bars on the course and the large locker room, fit for a pro tournament, the service is exceptional from the second you arrive.
A fellow player mentions that he has played most of the courses around Kuala Lumpur and this is still one of the best. He also asked me if I could join him for trip to play another Ronald Fream course in the Genting Highlands. A mere 45 min drive the course is more resort style, but is well respected by good players. I like the sound of the idea and we agree to meet next morning. I bid my friends farewell and walk back to The Club at The Saujana where the spa awaits and wow what a joy that turns out to be.
The massage is sensational, and I feel like a new man. I relax by the excellent 39-meter lap pool whilst working away on my laptop, I love modern technology, and friends think I am sitting at some office desk…….another fruit cocktail please!
Prior to dinner at Senja, I visit the fitness centre just to make sure that I can enjoy my Italian dinner a bit more. I am totally relaxed at dinner; the day's efforts are now rewarded with an exceptional meal. The linguini special is perfect and their red wine recommendation matches the dish perfectly. As I walk around the resort after dinner and enjoy the tranquil setting, I reflect on how the designers have got it right, be it for business or pleasure, there are so many small details that make the Club at Saujana a great place to visit. Tomorrow is my last day before I head home and back to reality, I am looking forward to my outing to visit the highlands.
As I check out and enter the waiting car to take me to the new international airport located 58 km from Saujana, I take a last look over this city resort, and reflect. I loved the challenge of playing the Palm Course and it was great seeing the Genting Highlands with its resort style course and sees the many stunning natural sights and beauty of the mountains, but the highlight of the my trip to Malaysia was The Club at Saujana. Although only a short stay I feel like I have been on an extended holiday at this city-resort.

text: EUR/USD update (13th Aug 2012, 14:00) Market Moves Staff in Forex News 13 Aug 2012 0 share Share Tweet Email Share Expectations surrounding ECB bond-buying continue to buoy the single European currency, as investors shrugged off comments over the weekend from the governor of the Belgian central bank.The dominant narrative of the past week has been that the ECB will step in to the Spanish and Italian bond markets in due course, providing a reason to be more upbeat about the future of the euro. The prospect of the use of the 'Big Bazooka' is a reassuring one, given that the ECB is perhaps the one institution with the firepower to hold off Armageddon in the eurozone.Over the weekend, however, Belgian central bank governor Luc Coene said that purchasing Spanish and Italian bonds would not be the correct way to solve the crisis. For now, markets appear to be ignoring his comments, but signs of dissent are not conducive to risk appetite. Many had begun to believe that Mario Draghi had finally won over the doubters before the latest ECB meeting, but it appears resistance to mass bond-buying lingers.

The Twang
By the end of 2006, a bidding war had broken out over the Twang, with B-Unique Recordings (home of the Kaiser Chiefs and Primal Scream) signing the band to a deal. The Twang's first single, Wide Awake, was released in mid-March 2007, with a second single, Either Way, following a few weeks later. Both records reached the British Top 20, and the group's first album, Love It When I Feel Like This, arrived in early June. In early 2008, the band enlisted former Killing Joke member Youth to help them record their second studio album, Jewellery Quarter. Named after the area in Birmingham where they now resided, the record entered the U.K. Top 20 in 2009. The first single to be released from it was Barney Rubble. In 2010, the group announced the departure of guitarist Stu Hartland and the arrival of replacement, Jimmy Jazz -- although Hartland continued to play live for the band. It was during this time that they began recording and writing with long-term friend and producer Jon "Simmo" Simcox. In 2011, they announced the details of the EP Guapa. Limited to 1,000 copies, it sold out almost immediately. Toward the end of 2012, they released their third album, 10:20, and announced that original drummer Matty Clinton was sacked (due to theft of the band's equipment) and that Ash Sheehan was to be his replacement. The album -- which was funded by the band and recorded in their own studio -- was their most daring to date and featured a cover of Durutti Column's "Tomorrow." ~ Mark Deming

Write a method for searching an array. Understand why a sorted array can be searched more efficiently than an unsorted array. Write a method to sort an array. 2 Lesson 11: Arrays Continued Objectives: Write methods to perform insertions and removals at given positions in an array. Understand the issues involved when working with arrays of objects. Perform simple operations with Java's ArrayList class. 3 Lesson 11: Arrays Continued Vocabulary: Binary search Bubble sort Immutable object Insertion sort Linear search Modal Selection sort Substring Wrapper class Array List 4 11.1 Advanced Operations on Strings Consider the problem of extracting words from a line of text. To obtain the first word, we could copy the string's characters to a new string until we reach the first space character in the string (assuming the delimiter between words is the space) or we reach the length of the string. Here is a code segment that uses this strategy: 5 11.1 Advanced Operations on Strings // Create a sample string String original = "Hi there!"; // Variable to hold the first word, set to empty string String word = ""; // Visit all the characters in the string for (int i = 0; i < original.length(); i++) { // Or stop when a space is found if (original.charAt(i) == ' ') break; //DO NOT USE BREAK WITH LOOPS! // Add the non-space character to the word word += original.charAt(i); } 6 11.1 Advanced Operations on Strings Code Without Break Statements int i = 0; //set loop counter to zero boolean notFound = true; //prime the while loop String original = "Hi there!"; // Create a sample string String word = ""; // Variable to hold the first word, set to empty string // Visit all the characters in the string while (i < original.length()&& notFound) { // Or stop when a space is found if (original.charAt(i) == ' ') notFound = false; else word += original.charAt(i); // Add the non-space char to word i++; } 7 11.1 Advanced Operations on Strings As you can see, this code combines the tasks of finding the first space character and building a substring of the original string. The problem is solved much more easily by using two separate String methods that are designed for these tasks. TestStringMethods.java TestStringMethods.txt String original = "Hi there!"; // Search for the position of the first space int endPosition = original.indexOf(' '); // If there is no space, use the whole string if (endPosition == -1) endPosition = original.length(); // Extract the first word String word = original.substring(0, endPosition); 8 11.1 Advanced Operations on Strings Most text-processing applications examine and manipulate the characters in strings. Separating strings into segments Searching for/replacing specific characters or substrings Inserting text into a string String objects are immutable (can't be changed). No mutators in the String class 9 11.1 Advanced Operations on Strings 10 11.1 Advanced Operations on Strings 11 11.1 Advanced Operations on Strings 12 11.1 Advanced Operations on Strings Example 11.2: Count the words and compute the average word length in a sentence. (Don't use Break) SentenceStats.java SentenceStatsNoBreak.java SentenceStats.txt SentenceStatsNoBreak.txt 13 11.1 Advanced Operations on Strings Example 11.2: Count the words and compute the average word length in a sentence (cont.). 14 11.2 Linear Search Linear Search (LinearSearch.ppt) In Lesson 9, we developed the code for a method that searches an array of int for a given target value. The method returns the index of the first matching value or -1 if the value is not in the array. The method examines each element in sequence, starting with the first one, to determine if a target element is present. The loop ends if the target is found. 15 11.2 Linear Search The method must examine every element to determine the absence of a target. This method of searching is usually called linear search. int Linear_Search (int[] a, int searchValue) { for (int i = 0; i < a.length; i++) if (a[i] == searchValue) return i; return -1; } 16 11.2 Linear Search SEARCHING AN ARRAY OF OBJECTS Suppose we have an array of names that we wish to search for a given name. A name is a String. The change in the loop is that two string elements must be compared with the method equals instead of the operator ==. int Linear_Search (String[] a, String searchValue){ for (i = 0; i < a.length; i++) if (a[i].equals(searchValue)) return i; return -1; } 17 11.2 Linear Search This method can be generalized to work with any objects, not just strings. We simply substitute Object for String in the formal parameter list. The method still works for strings, and we can also use it to search an array of Student objects for a target student, assuming that the Student class includes an appropriate equals method. Following is a code segment that uses this single method to search arrays of two different types: 18 11.2 Linear Search String[] stringArray = {"Hi", "there", "Martin"}; Student[] studentArray = new Student[5]; Student stu = new Student("Student 1", 100, 100, 100); for (int i = 0; i < studentArray.length; i++) studentArray[i] = new Student("Student " + (i + 1), 100, 100, 100); int stringPos = Linear_Search(stringArray, "Martin"); // Returns 2 int studentPos = Linear_Search(studentArray, stu); // Returns 0 19 11.2 Binary Search Binary search: An efficient search algorithm based on eliminating half of the data from the search at each iteration The Data must be sorted first! Examine midpoint of data, then decide which half of the data to continue searching on. Discard other half of data. Repeat this process GuessingGame.exe 20 11.2 Binary Search Binary Search (using Iteration NOT Recursion) The method of linear search works well for arrays that are fairly small (a few hundred elements). As the array gets very large (thousands or millions of elements), the behavior of the search degrades. When we have an array of elements that are in ascending order, such as a list of numbers or names, there is a much better way to proceed, using an algorithm known as binary search. This method is much faster than linear search for very large arrays. 21 11.2 Binary Search The basic idea of binary search is to examine the element at the array's midpoint on each pass through the search loop. If the current element matches the target, we return its position. If the current element is less than the target, then we search the part of the array to the right of the midpoint (containing the positions of the greater items). 22 11.2 Binary Search Otherwise, we search the part of the array to the left of the midpoint (containing the positions of the lesser items). On each pass through the loop, the current leftmost position or the current rightmost position is adjusted to track the portion of the array being searched. 23 11.2 Binary Search Figure 11-1 shows a trace of a binary search for the target value 5 in the array 1 3 5 7 9 11 13 15 17. Note that on each pass through the loop, the number of elements yet to be examined is reduced by half. Herein lies the advantage of binary search over linear search for very large arrays. 24 11.2 Binary Search 25 Binary Search for Integers (Using Iteration NOT Recursion) //Binary Search for Integers // Iterative binary search of an ascending array int Binary_Search (int[ ] a, int searchValue){ int left = 0; // Establish the initial int right = a.length - 1; // endpoints of the array while (left <= right){ // Loop until the endpoints cross int midpoint = (left + right) / 2; // Compute the current midpoint if (a[midpoint] == searchValue) // Target found; return its index return midpoint; else if (a[midpoint] < searchValue) // Target to right of midpoint left = midpoint + 1; else // Target to left of midpoint right = midpoint - 1; } return -1; // Target not found } 26 11.2 Binary Search COMPARING OBJECTS AND THE COMPARABLE INTERFACE When using binary search with an array of objects, we must compare two objects. But objects do not understand the < and > operators, and we have seen that == is not a wise choice for comparing two objects for equality. Classes that implement the Comparable interface include the method compareTo, which performs the three different comparisons. Here is the signature of compareTo: public int compareTo(Object other) 27 11.2 Binary Search The behavior of compareTo is summarized in Table 11-2. 28 11.2 Binary Search For example, the String class implements the Comparable interface; thus, the second output of the following code segment is 0: String str = "Mary"; System.out.println(str.compareTo("Suzanne")); // Outputs -6 System.out.println(str.compareTo("Mary")); // Outputs 0 System.out.println(str.compareTo("Bob")); // Outputs 11 29 11.2 Binary Search The other output integers are system dependent, but the first should be negative while the third should be positive (in the example given, they are -6 and 11, respectively). Before sending the compareTo message to an arbitrary object, that object must be cast to Comparable, because Object does not implement the Comparable interface or include a compareTo method. Here is the code for the binary search of an array of objects: 30 11.2 Binary Search (Using Iteration NOT Recursion) //Binary Search for Objects int Binary_Search (Object[] a, Object searchValue){ int left = 0; int right = a.length – 1; while (left <= right){ int midpoint = (left + right) / 2; int result =((Comparable)a[midpoint]).compareTo(searchValue); if (result == 0) return midpoint; else if (result < 0) left = midpoint + 1; else right = midpoint – 1; } return -1; } 31 11.2 Search IMPLEMENTING THE METHOD compareTo Objects that are ordered by the relations less than, greater than, or equal to must understand the compareTo message. Their class must implement the Comparable interface and their interface, if there is one, should also include the method compareTo. The Student class of Lesson 5, which has no interface, is modified to support comparisons of students' names. Below are the required changes to the code: 32 11.2 Searching public class Student implements Comparable{ <data declarations> public int compareTo(Object other){ // The parameter must be an instance of Student if (! (other instanceof Student)) throw new IllegalArgumentException("Parameter must be a Student"); // Obtain the student's name after casting the parameter String otherName = ((Student)other).getName(); // Return the result of comparing the two students' names return name.compareTo(otherName); } <other methods> } 33 11.3 Sorting When the elements are in random order, we need to rearrange them before we can take advantage of any ordering. This process is called sorting. Suppose we have an array "a" of five integers that we wish to sort from smallest to largest. In Figure 11-2, the values currently in "a" are as depicted on the left; we wish to end up with values as on the right. 34 11.3 Sorting 35 11.3 Sorting Selection Sort Selection Sort (SelectionSort.ppt) The basic idea of a selection sort is: For each index position i Find the smallest data value in the array from positions i through length - 1, where length is the number of data values stored. Exchange the smallest value with the value at position i. 36 11.3 Sorting Selection Sort Table 11-3 shows a trace of the elements of an array after each exchange of elements is made. The items just swapped are marked with asterisks, and the sorted portion is shaded. Notice that in the second and fourth passes, since the current smallest numbers are already in place, we need not exchange anything. After the last exchange, the number at the end of the array is automatically in its proper place. 37 11.3 Sorting Selection Sort 38 11.3 Sorting Selection Sort Before writing the algorithm for this sorting method, note the following: If the array is of length n, we need n - 1 steps. We must be able to find the smallest number. We need to exchange appropriate array items. When the code is written for this sort, note that strict inequality (<) rather than weak inequality (<=) is used when looking for the smallest remaining value. 39 11.3 Sorting Selection Sort The algorithm for selection sort is: Note: The following algorithms and source codes assume that we are sorting the entire array (for all of the sorts in the rest of this lesson). In other words, the logical size and the physical size are the same in these examples. If this is not the case, don't forget to pass the variable logical_size and use this as the upper limit in loops (Replace a.length with logical_size). For each i from 0 to n - 1 do Find the smallest value among a[i], a[i + 1],. . .a[n - 1] and store the index of the smallest value in minIndex Exchange the values of a[i] and a[index], if necessary 40 11.3 Sorting Selection Sort Here we need to find the smallest value of array "a" . We will incorporate this segment of code in a method, findMinimum, for the selection sort. We will also use a method swap to exchange two elements in an array. 41 11.3 Sorting Selection Sort Using these two methods, the implementation of a selection sort method is: public static void SelectionSort(int[] a) { for (int i = 0; i < a.length - 1; i++) { int minIndex = FindMinimum(a, i); if (minIndex != i) Swap(a, i, minIndex); } } 42 11.3 Sorting Selection Sort The method for finding the minimum value in an array takes two parameters: the array and the position to start the search. The method returns the index position of the minimum element in the array. Its implementation uses a for loop: public static int FindMinimum(int[] a, int first){ int minIndex = first; for (int i = first + 1; i < a.length; i++) if (a[i] < a[minIndex]) minIndex = i; return minIndex; } 43 11.3 Sorting Selection Sort The swap method exchanges the values of two array cells: public static void Swap(int[] a, int x, int y) { int temp = a[x]; a[x] = a[y]; a[y] = temp; } 44 11.3 Sorting Bubble Sort Bubble Sort (BubbleSort.ppt) Given a list of items stored in an array, a bubble sort causes a pass through the array to compare adjacent pairs of items. Whenever two items are out of order with respect to each other, they are swapped. The effect of such a pass through an array of items is traced in Table 11-4. The items just swapped are marked with asterisks, and the sorted portion is shaded. 45 11.3 Sorting Bubble Sort Bubble Sort Notice that after such a pass, we are assured that the array will have the item that comes last in order in the final array position. That is, the last item will "sink" to the bottom of the array, and preceding items will gradually "percolate" or "bubble" to the top. 46 11.3 Sorting Bubble Sort 47 11.3 Sorting Bubble Sort A complete Java method to implement a bubble sort for an array of integers is shown next: 48 11.3 Sorting Bubble Sort public static void BubbleSort(int[] a){ int k = 0; boolean exchangeMade = true; // Make up to n - 1 passes through array, exit early if no exchanges // are made on previous pass while ((k < a.length - 1) && exchangeMade){ exchangeMade = false; k++; for (int j = 0; j < a.length - k; j++) if (a[j] > a[j + 1]){ Swap(a, j, j + 1); exchangeMade = true; } } } 49 11.3 Sorting Insertion Sort Insertion Sort (InsertionSort.ppt) The insertion sort attempts to take greater advantage of an array's partial ordering. The goal is that on the kth pass through, the kth item among: a[0], a[1], ..., a[k] should be inserted into its rightful place among the first k items in the array. This is analogous to the fashion in which many people pick up playing cards and order them in their hands. 50 11.3 Sorting Insertion Sort For each k from 1 to n - 1 (k is the index of array element to insert) Set itemToInsert to a[k] Set j to k - 1 (j starts at k - 1 and is decremented until insertion position is found) While (insertion position not found) and (not beginning of array) If itemToInsert < a[j] Move a[j] to index position j + 1 Decrement j by 1 Else The insertion position has been found itemToInsert should be positioned at index j + 1 51 11.3 Sorting Insertion Sort An insertion sort for each value of k is traced in Table 11-5. In each column of this table, the data items are sorted in order relative to each other above the item with the asterisk; below this item, the data are not affected. 52 11.3 Sorting Insertion Sort public static void insertionSort(int[ ] list){ int itemToInsert, j; // On the kth pass, insert item k into its correct position among boolean stillLooking; // the first k entries in array. for (int k = 1; k < list.length; k++){ // Walk backwards through list, looking for slot to insert list[k] itemToInsert = list[k]; j = k - 1; stillLooking = true; while ((j >= 0) && stillLooking ) if (itemToInsert < list[j]) { list[j + 1] = list[j]; j--; }else stillLooking = false; // Upon leaving loop, j + 1 is the index // where itemToInsert belongs list[j + 1] = itemToInsert; } } 53 11.3 Sorting Insertion Sort Sorting Arrays of Objects Any of the sort methods can be modified to sort arrays of objects. We assume that the objects implement the Comparable interface and support the method compareTo. Then, we simply replace the type of all array parameters with Object and make the appropriate use of compareTo where the comparison operators are used. 54 Find Minimum for Objects //Change in selection sort call to FindMinimum int FindMinimum(Object[ ] a, int first{ int minIndex =first; //Change in FindMinimum source code for (int i = first + 1; i < a.length; i++) if (((Comparable)a[i]).compareTo(a[minIndex])<0) minIndex = i; return minIndex; } 55 Testing Sort Algorithms TestSortAlgorithms.java TestSortAlgorithms.txt 56 11.4 Insertions and Removals In this section, we show how to add or remove an element at the end of an array that is not full at arbitrary positions within an array. For simplicity, we make four assumptions: 1. Arrays are of fixed size; thus, when an array becomes full, insertions are not performed. 2. We are working with an array of objects, although we can modify the code to cover arrays of integers, employees, or whatever element type is desired. 57 11.4 Insertions and Removals 3. For a successful insertions, 0 <= target index <= logical size. The new element is inserted before the element currently at the target index, or after the last element if the target index equals the logical size. 4. For successful removals, 0 <= target index < logical size. When an assumption is not satisfied, the operation is not performed and we return false; otherwise, the operation is performed and we return true. 58 11.4 Insertions and Removals Inserting an Item into an Array at an Arbitrary Position Inserting an item into an array differs from replacing an item in an array. In the case of a replacement: an item already exists at the given index position and a simple assignment suffices. and the logical size of the array does not change. 59 11.4 Insertions and Removals In the case of an insertion, we must do six things: 1. Check for available space before attempting an insertion; 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. if there is no space, return false. Check the validity of the target index and return false if it is not >= 0 and <= logical size. Shift the items from the logical end of the array to the target index down by one position. Assign the new item to the cell at the target index. Increment the logical size by one. Return true. Figure 11-3 shows these steps for the insertion of an item at position 1 in an array of four items. 60 11.4 Insertions and Removals 61 11.4 Insertions and Removals As you can see, the order in which the items are shifted is critical. If we had started at the target index and copied down from there, we would have lost two items. Thus, we must start at the logical end of the array and work back up to the target index, copying each item to the cell of its successor. Next is the Java code for the insertion operation: 62 11.4 Insertions and Removals // Check for a full array and return false if full if (logicalSize == array.length) return false; // Check for valid target index return false if not valid if (targetIndex < 0 || targetIndex > logicalSize) return false; // Shift items down by one position for (int i = logicalSize; i > targetIndex; i--) array[i] = array[i - 1]; // Add new item, increment logical size, and return true array[targetIndex] = newItem; logicalSize++; return true; 63 11.4 Insertions and Removals Removing an Item from an Array Removing an item from an array involves the inverse process of inserting an item into the array. Here are the steps in this process: 1. Check the validity of the target index and return false if it is not >= 0 and < logical size. 2. Shift the items from the target index to the logical end of the array up by one position. 3. Decrement the logical size by one. 4. Return true. Figure 11-4 shows these steps for the removal of an item at position 1 in an array of five items. 64 11.4 Insertions and Removals 65 11.4 Insertions and Removals As with insertions, the order in which we shift items is critical. For a removal, we begin at the item following the target position and move toward the logical end of the array, copying each item to the cell of its predecessor. Here is the Java code for the removal operation: 66 11.4 Insertions and Removals // Check for valid target index return false if not valid if (targetIndex < 0 || targetIndex >= logicalSize) return false; // Shift items up by one position for (int i = targetIndex; i < logicalSize - 1; i++) array[i] = array[i + 1]; // Decrement logical size and return true logicalSize--; return true; TestInsertAndRemove.java TestInsertAndRemove.txt 67 11.5 Working with Arrays of Objects Polymorphism, Casting, and instanceof It is quite common to declare and instantiate an array of some interface type. For instance, below is code that reserves 10 cells for shapes: Shape[] shapes = new Shape[10]; 68 11.5 Working with Arrays of Objects We can now store in this array instances of any class that implements Shape, such as Rect, Circle, or Wheel, as follows: shapes[0] = new Rect(20, 20, 40, 40);// Cell 0 refers to a Rect shapes[1] = new Circle(100, 100, 20);// Cell 1 refers to a Circle shapes[2] = new Wheel(200, 200, 20, 6);// Cell 2 refers to a Wheel As long as we send Shape messages to the elements of this array, we can ignore the fact that they are of different concrete classes (that's what polymorphism is all about). 69 11.5 Working with Arrays of Objects Let us now draw all the shapes in the array: Pen pen = new StandardPen(); for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) shapes[i].draw(pen); 70 11.5 Working with Arrays of Objects Let us assume that we know the position of the wheel object in the array (in our example, it's at position 2). Then, to set its spokes to 5, we perform the following steps: 1. Access the array element with the subscript. 2. Cast the element, which is masquerading as a Shape, to a Wheel. 3. Send the setSpokes(5) message to the result. Here is the code: ((Wheel) shapes[2]).setSpokes(5); 71 11.5 Working with Arrays of Objects Note the use of parentheses to override the precedence of the method selector, which would otherwise be run before the cast operation. Failure to cast in this code causes a compile-time error. Suppose we don't know the position of a wheel in the array of shapes, but we wish to set the spokes of each wheel to 5. We must first determine that a shape is a wheel before casting, and Java's instanceof operator comes to our rescue. 72 11.5 Working with Arrays of Objects Here is a loop that solves the problem: for (int i = 0; i < shapes.length; i++) if (shapes[i] instanceof Wheel) ((Wheel) shapes[i]).setSpokes(5); 73 11.5 Working with Arrays of Objects Let us now summarize the use of objects in an array by making two fundamental points: 1. When the element type of an array is a reference type or interface, objects of those types or any subtype (subclass or implementing class) can be directly inserted into the array. 2. After accessing an object in an array, care must be taken to send it the appropriate messages or to cast it down to a type that can receive the appropriate messages. 74 11.7 The Class java.util.ArrayList Arrays are easiest to use when: We know how many data elements will be added to them, so we don't run out of cells or waste any cells We know they are full When these conditions do not hold, clients must Find a way to increase the length of the array when it becomes full or shrink it when many cells become unoccupied Track the array's logical size with a separate variable 75 11.7 The Class java.util.ArrayList Like most object-oriented languages, Java provides a wide range of classes for maintaining collections of objects. The collection class most like an array is called ArrayList and is included in the package java.util. 76 11.7 The Class java.util.ArrayList Java 5 allows: Generic array list: Programmer must specify element type for the list Raw array list: Can contain objects of any reference type Declaring/instantiating a generic array list: 77 11.7 The Class java.util.ArrayList Declaring and Instantiating an Array List An array list is an object, so it is instantiated like any other object, as in the following example: import java.util.ArrayList; ArrayList list = new ArrayList(); Note that no initial length is specified in the array. An array list tracks its own physical size and logical size, which initially is 0. When a client inserts objects into an array list, the list automatically updates its logical size and adds cells to accommodate new objects if necessary. 78 11.7 The Class java.util.ArrayList Using ArrayList Methods The programmer manipulates an array list by sending it messages. There are methods for examining an array list's logical size, testing it for emptiness (it's never full, at least in theory), insertions, removals, examining or replacing elements at given positions, and searching for a given element. Table 11-6 contains descriptions of these commonly used methods. 79 11.7 The Class java.util.ArrayList 80 11.7 The Class java.util.ArrayList The items in an array list must all be objects: ArrayList list = new ArrayList(); list.add (3.14); // Invalid (compile-time error), 3.14 is not // an object list.add (new Student()); // Valid 81 11.7 The Class java.util.ArrayList import java.util.ArrayList; ArrayList <String> list = new ArrayList<String>(); for(int i=0; i<5; i++) list.add(i, "Item" + (i+1)); //The above list contains: Item1 Item2 Item3 Item4 Item5 for(int i=0; i<list.size(); i++) System.out.println(list.get(i)); //To display the list //To display the list using the enhanced for loop for(String str : list) System.out.println(str); 82 11.7 The Class java.util.ArrayList The next code segment performs some example searches: System.out.println(list.indexOf("Item3")); // System.out.println(list.indexOf("Martin"));// Displays 2 Displays -1 Our final code segment removes the first element from the list and displays that element and the list's size after each removal, until the list becomes empty: while (! list.isEmpty()){ Object obj = list.remove(0); System.out.println(obj); System.out.println("Size: " + list.size()); } 83 11.7 The Class java.util.ArrayList Array Lists and Primitive Types The array list is a powerful data structure, however, there are some restrictions on their use: 1. an array list can contain only objects, not primitive types. 2. although it's easy to insert any object into an array list, care must be taken when manipulating objects extracted from an array list. Remember that the elements come out as objects, which must be cast down to the appropriate classes before they are sent messages. 84 11.7 The Class java.util.ArrayList Primitive Types and Wrapper Classes Java distinguishes between primitive data types (numbers, characters, Booleans) and objects (instances of String, Employee, Student, etc.). Variables and arrays can refer either to primitive data types or to objects, as in: int x; variable int nums[]; Student student; Student students[]; // An integer // An array of integers // A Student variable // An array of Students 85 11.7 The Class java.util.ArrayList There are occasions when we desire to store primitive data types in lists, which we can do if we first convert them to objects. Java provides wrapper classes for this purpose. Here is an example that illustrates how to convert an integer to and from its wrapper class Integer: 86 11.7 The Class java.util.ArrayList ArrayList objects automatically "box" and "unbox" primitive values when used with ArrayList methods. 87 11.7 The Class java.util.ArrayList As you can see from this code, the wrapper object intObject serves as a container in which the integer value 3 is stored or wrapped. The intValue method retrieves or unwraps the value in intObject. All wrapper objects understand the equals and compareTo messages, so they can be included in arrays that are searched and sorted. However, they cannot be used directly as operands in standard arithmetic expressions. Usually, casting as well as unwrapping is necessary. 88 10.7 The Class java.util.ArrayList Example 11.5: Test an array list of integers TestArrayList.java TestArrayList.txt 89 10.7 The Class java.util.ArrayList Like strings, wrapper objects are immutable; once they have been instantiated, the primitive values they contain cannot be changed. The wrapper classes for all the primitive data types are listed in following table. 90 10.7 The Class java.util.ArrayList 91 Arrays vs. ArrayList Advantages of ArrayList over arrays: 1. Includes many methods for tasks such as insertions, removals, and searches. 2. Tracks own logical size and grows or shrinks automatically with the number of elements contained in it. 92 Arrays vs. ArrayList An array might best be used when: 1. We know the exact number of data elements to be inserted in advance. 2. The operations to be performed are more specialized than the ArrayList provides. Arrays have been around a long time, so legacy code is likely to use arrays. 93 Case Study TestDesk.java TestSuit.java TestCard.java Card.java Deck.java Suit.java 94 Summary Linear search: Simple search that works well for small- and medium-sized arrays Binary search: Clever search that works well for large arrays but assumes that the elements are sorted Comparisons of objects are accomplished by implementing the Comparable interface, which requires the compareTo method. 95 Summary Selection sort, bubble sort, and insertion sort are simple sort methods that work well for small- and mediumsized arrays. Insertions and removals of elements at arbitrary positions are complex operations that require careful design and implementation. 96 Summary One can insert objects of any class into an array of Object. When retrieved from the array, objects must be cast down to their classes before sending them most messages. The limitation of a fixed-size array can be overcome by using Java's ArrayList class. 97 Summary An array list tracks and updates its logical size and provides many useful client methods. Wrapper class, such as Integer, provides a way of packaging a value of a primitive type, such as int, in an object so that it can be stored in an array of Object or an array list. 98

Rome promises a fusion of tradition and future
By Brian Homewood
LAUSANNE (Reuters) - Rome promised a combination of "tradition and future", all done on a cost-sustainable basis, if it wins the right to host the 2024 Olympic Games, backers of the bid said on Thursday.
Rome signaled its intent by sending a 24-strong delegation, including high-level government officials, to International Olympic Committee (IOC) headquarters in Lausanne for a seminar for potential host cities.
Delegates said that Rome plans to use upgraded, existing infrastructure, much of it dating from their previous hosting of the Games in 1960, to reduce costs and eliminate the risk of building white elephant stadiums.
Refurbished venues would include the Olympic stadium which also hosted matches in the 1990 World Cup, and currently hosts Italian rugby internationals and Serie A clubs AS Roma and Lazio.
"Italy is not just a country of cultural tradition but also of technological innovation," Undersecretary of State Claudio De Vincenti, representing Prime Minister Matteo Renzi, told Reuters.
"Together with the international Olympic community, we want to organize an Olympic Games which is a fusion of tradition and future.
"We all think that Rome has the all characteristics necessary for the Agenda 2020," he added, referring to the IOC's initiative to encourage less lavish spending on hosting the Games.
"In particular, we already have the sporting infrastructure because of the heritage from our past experience." Continued...

Thank you for highlighting the problems of pay-as-you-go mobile phones being disconnected and balances wiped. Bearing in mind what you said we went to a Vodafone shop and eventually were each given new SIM cards and our £20 balances were reinstated on each of our mobile phones.
We keep the mobiles in our cars only for emergencies. The Vodafone shop staff say they advise customers at the time of purchase of the 90 days restriction but the problem comes when mobiles are bought through resellers where our phones were purchased and given to us at presents.
You have saved us £40 plus whatever two SIM cards currently cost.
This concerns customers who seldom use pay-as-you-go mobile phones.
Most pay-as-you-go phones are disconnected after a certain amount of time but companies differ on how long that is. To be fair part of the reason for this is to stop customer numbers being falsified which could create trouble. The best solution is to use such a phone once in a while to keep it live.If you don't use it you could lose it but if that happens don't let the provider pocket any credit without a fight.
Vodafone Pay as You Talk phones if not used to make a chargeable call (but not calls to 191) or topped up for 90 days will be moved into semi-quarantine status. If a call is then made it can usually be reactivated. After a further 90 days the number is disconnected but the phone can be reconnected if the customer requests it to be along with any credit for a further 90 days. After 270 the number is recycled and the credit lost. Not that Vodafone staff are always as clear as they should be on this timeline.
Vodafone says once such a phone has gone it has no way of knowing how much credit had been on it. For anyone sceptical that the phone company retains so much other information why not a record of the leftover balance Vodafone says "We only hold very limited records of our Pay as you go customers generally. With Pay as you go, you buy a phone outright, then you buy your calls or texts in advance. It is a bit like topping up a gas or electricity meter. While the number is active we can tell you how much money is on the phone. If a customer doesn't use the phone, and we fully disconnect the number, we no longer can tell how much credit is on it."
A Tesco Mobile spokesperson said "If a mobile number is not used, ie calls or texts made or received, within 12 months then the SIM is disconnected. If a customer contacts us to advise they wish to keep the mobile number, we will re-set up the accounts so long as that number has not been reassigned."
With an 02 pay- as- you- go phone if you do not make or receive a chargeable call in any six month period it will also be disconnected and any credit lost. The number could be reallocated from then on.
Asda said "So that Asda know that the customer's number is still in use, we just ask that they make either one call, which can be to the network operator at no cost to the customer one text or one instance of data usage every 270 days."

Gardisette is your brand for voiles since 1952.
The invention of a lead tape finish made the hem superfluous. The lead tape was worked on directly during the production.
Four years after the currency reform, the idea was to create a range of voiles which offers the customer solutions for care and decoration problems. New fibre developments were created along with the corresponding machines.
New was the focusing on the sales-oriented buyers market with a consistent brand policy. Not the customer had to buy what the manufacturer produced, but the manufacturer had to produce what the buyer needed. This was now possible by creating a brand. Gardisette was established as the first brand on the home textile market: "Gardisette perfect".
The first advertising campaign within the home textile market caused a sensation with the advertising slogan: "No stretching - no ironing - no shrinkage." Another highlight followed: The voile fabric was produced in such a width that the width became the height, without any disturbing seam. However, the final breakthrough of the company came one year later with the invention of a lead tape finish, which made the hem superfluous. The lead tape was worked in directly during the production and guaranteed an impeccable, washfast drape. To make the Gardisette brand unique to the consumer, a silver thread was woven in the Combiflex tape. Matching the collection of voiles, a collection of decoration fabrics was developed which contained the same product advantages as the Gardisette voiles.
Breaking new ground in the product segment and focusing on one brand meant the marketing organisation had to be newly established. Experienced sales staff were permanently employed and trained as sales consultants. Important was the consciousness of brand article categories and to support the trade partners in their sales efforts. Gardisette today is only offered to specialist dealers or specialist departments in general stores. An advantage to the trade is certainly the short-term delivery service for all designs.
Advertising and sales promotion became more and more important, in order to push the market idea. All kinds of advertising and media were used to promote interesting product news, with the help of appealing promotional campaigns. Gardisette could improve their image very fast and became the most important manufacturer's brand on the home textile market. This basic foundation stabilises the big brand awareness of Gardisette to date.

From Those Of Us Who Saw
Oh my, dear Lucinda Banks, you died all alone.
I knew.
Elizabeth didn't, neither did Jade, but I did. I noticed. God, I was your best friend. I loved you for your sense of humor, for your undivided loyalty, for your smile that showed all of your teeth. I loved you for your tendency to put one colored sock on and somehow get a completely different one on your other foot.
I saw past your near flawless ability to fake it. But I never stopped loving you.
-Your best friend, Melissa Adunay.
You were so full of life. Like a balloon, lifting up above the clouds away from us. I guess you finally popped, huh?
Your writing was excellent. But everyone else saw a pretender, like when you wrote you took on a pretense that you dropped when you were finished, a puppet dropping his cloak. But I saw the raw honesty that poured from you, spinning tales of truth hidden beneath layers of absurdity, and later made-up names, personality quirks that seem so real (because they are).
I just didn't do anything about it. I stood idle while you withered away, a flower tucked into a dark, dank basement of your worst fears.
What can I say?
I can say I'm sorry.
- Ms. Lizzie Muller, your teacher.
I never really knew you.
I was okay with the screened-through version, in fact, I kind of preferred it. I realized that I only saw the parts of you that you let me see, and I didn't care. I wanted my life to be as simple as possible, and the real you was more complicated than I could handle. I wish I could tell you that if I was given a second chance, I would push you, insist that you tell me everything you were hiding, but I can't. I don't know if I would.
I can't tell you that if I could, I would try and get to know everything.
-MaryEllen Johnson, your classmate.
I wonder if there was a way to tell.
But I didn't see any of the secret hints that were probably unintentionally dropped. I only saw, when I excused myself to go to the bathroom, the last slivers of blood on the razor blade in the rubbish bin. And again, the next time. Again. And again. And again.
But I didn't say anything. I pretended that everything was all right, that the world was just fine. When in fact, it had turned upside down onto my head. I think I was scared.
I'm not sure of what.
-Rowan Wilson, your neighbour.
I knew that you gave me the answers I wanted.
And I also knew that there were even more signs pointing to something serious. But I picked my book back up after you left and pretended that there was no niggling little voice in the back of my head telling me to pay attention, that this was important, that every atom in my body sensed something bad.
I ignored it.
I shouldn't have.
-Matilda Franklins, your guidance counsellor.
I'm so sorry.
You were my child, my last, the latter of two. I wish I hadn't pushed you aside. And if someone had told me that this would happen, I would have laughed in their face. But I know I made so many mistakes, that motherhood didn't -doesn't- suit me.
I wish that you hadn't had to suffer for it.
- Francis Landau, your mother.
You're dead.
Now I'm dead too.
- Adelaide Banks, your unspoken sister.

Anthrocon's Hotels: Please read before reserving!
Important Information Regarding Hotel Reservations
Hotel reservations OPEN NOW!
Courtyard, Drury, Westin, Hampton: FULL
Homewood, Omni, Doubletree: FULL
Marriott CC, Renaissance, Wyndham: Available!
Click here for info on our hotels!
A one-night deposit (room and tax) will be required for all hotel bookings; it will be charged soon after you make the reservation. That deposit will not be refundable if a reservation is canceled. Anthrocon strongly recommends that its members not book a room until they are reasonably certain that their plans will not change. The box to the right lists the hotels that have agreed to a special discounted rate for Anthrocon attendees. Note that this page is for information only, so you can see what you get for your money. A link will be provided for making reservations on February 2. Note that due to the volume of initial reservations, the charge may not appear on your credit card statement for several weeks!
To reserve a hotel room:
After you reserve, please consider taking our: Hotel Reservation Experience Survey
"When Does Hotel Booking Close?"
IF YOU DO NOT SEE YOUR HOTEL LISTED WHEN YOU TRY TO RESERVE, TRY SHORTENING YOUR STAY! We often run out of rooms on early and late days, but often we can add rooms to those nights that will allow you to stretch an existing reservation. It's not guaranteed, but we've had good luck in the past. You can inquire about extending your stay by emailing Visit Pittsburgh Housing Services at housing(at)visitpittsburgh.com and providing your Passkey booking reference number.
If you are going to have roommates but do not yet know who they are, please leave the fields blank: If you know the true names of your roommates,of course you can enter them, and if you have your roommates' email addresses, enter them in the email field and your roommates will receive a copy of the reservation acknowledgment. If you do not know the true names of your roommates at the time of booking, please do not add fake names or generic names such as Guest #2, Guest #3. You will have the opportunity to add guest names at a later date. It is fine to leave a leave the those fields empty. You may also email housing(at)visitpittsburgh.com with roommate names. They will edit your reservation and send you notification once your roommates have been added to your reservation. This request comes in because in previous years, people have still had "John Doe" and "Guest #1" listed on their reservations even on the day they arrived.
Special Note For All Hotel Guests: Our kind hosts at all of our hotels remind us that even if a room is not to be made up, the housekeepers must nonetheless make entry to each room every day to ensure that it is up to standards. This caused some concern in previous years when attendees left their "do not disturb" signs posted for the entire weekend. If you intend to stay in any Anthrocon-contracted hotel, you MUST agree to the following policy, which is repeated in the Anthrocon Standards of Conduct: Housekeepers will not begin their rounds until 10:00 AM each day. Thereafter they will initially bypass rooms with "do not disturb" signs on the doors, but at the end of their rounds they must return to those rooms and will have to knock on the door. Attendees must allow housekeeping staff access to the room at that time. If you do not agree to this policy, then you should not book a room.
An explanation as to why this policy has been enacted can be found here.
Note: There is at this time no mechanism by which a deposit for a particular room can be transferred from one person to another. If you must cancel your hotel room, you must assume all responsibility for arranging how the finances will be handled. There are many potential dangers in transferring pre-paid registrations, particularly to someone you do not know. Again, we cannot stress it enough: do not reserve a room until you are reasonably certain that you will be attending!
The last day to book hotel rooms for Anthrocon 2017 will be June 2nd, 2017. The last day to make any name changes or date modifications to existing reservations through the PassKey system will be June 12th, 2017.
After booking closes, any hotel rooms will have to be booked directly with our partner hotels.

Hi everyone!
I really want to work on my speed, my stamina doesnt let me down at all but i would love to be faster. I done a few Tempo rus whilst training for the marathon altho not as many as i should have *hangs head in shame*. I used to do my temp runs around a park but as the nights are drawing in i am not as comftable running around there in the dark, I live in a rather hilly area will tempo runs still be ok... I am worried that as my speed reduces up hill this will affect the training or will it al count as it would be faster (or attempted faster) than my normal pace. The other option is to do hill reps.... altho these are far less apealing! who here does hills reps and how do you find them? what do you guys use and what sort of difference has it made to your pace?
My paces are varible... shorter runs i am usually around the 9:30 mark and my marathon was at 10:33. Altho i maged to do two miles with an average of 9:07 last night.. wish i am still a bit chuffed at! woooooo!
Any advice or help would be much appreiceated,
Hill reps are often called 'speedwork in disguise'. Done properly they help with running form, promoting driving from the arms, high knee lift etc. I try to do one or the other during the week as I get bored easily and like to have some variety in my schedule. I am afraid that my legs do not seem able to cope with two sessions like that in the week. I wouldn't worry too much about how fast you run up hill during the reps or during your tempo run, it is the effort that you want to keep consistent while maintaining good form.
What I found really useful in previous marathon prep was doing my long run over a hilly route too. So keeping the pace easy but trying to maintain my form over the hills particularly towards the end of the run. I found this helped me a lot with coping with the fatigue felt towards the end of the marathon.
hope this helps.
I variety of speedwork will have a massive affect on your pace. Just introduce one session per week, but mix it up, either in rotation or whatever is convenient. Try hills, tempo, fartlek and maybe 'proper' intervals. Perhaps also introduce half a dozen strides (50-100m sprints concentrating on good form and smooth accelleration) at the end of one of your easy runs.
With respect to pace, mcmillianrunning.com is useful, but as a general rule the session should be hard, but not leave you completely wiped out. You should be able to maintain your target pace thoughout the session, so if your pace starts to drop off towards the end you're going too fast or too long.
Another thing that you might find useful is to introduce good stretching session once or twice a week. You shoudl stretch after every session, but I mean do a thorough session to increase flexibility rather just prevent tightening up.
And don't forget to warm up.

A professional man registered as a sperm donor on a website and advertised his willingness to participate in a "breeding party, ie a male-dominated orgy designed to get a woman pregnant", a High Court judge said today.
The man also said he "engaged in sexual activity with both members of a lesbian pair who had approached him via the website", said Mr Justice Peter Jackson.
His prolific sexual activity with recipients amounted to a " brazen flouting" of the rules of the website, said the judge.
The judge said the man was "bound in his professional life by a clear code of ethics", which made the risks he took "the more surprising".
His comments came in a written ruling following a hearing in the Family Division of the High Court in London.
He said he had been asked to settle a dispute between the man and a woman after they met via the website. The judge said the woman had given birth to a boy, now aged two.
She said conception followed sex with the man. The man said conception had been the result of artificial insemination.
The judge said the dispute centred on a series of meetings between the pair in 2010. The woman said the meetings involved "15 days of sex". The man said they involved "15 donations by artificial insemination".
He decided in favour of the woman, ruled that the the boy had been conceived by "ordinary sexual intercourse" and that the man was the boy's "biological father" and legal parent.
The judge did not name either the man or the woman but referred to them as "Ms M" and "Mr F".
"I accept that Mr F first became involved in licensed donation altruistically and even now, I do not discount a residual element of altruism in his make-up or forget that there are many much-wanted children alive today as a result of his efforts. However, I am clear that in relation to his website activity his mainspring has been to meet his own needs, at least at a sexual level, " said Mr Justice Peter Jackson.
"This is seen by his behaviour in 2007, when he advertised himself in graphic terms as willing to participate in a 'breeding party', i.e. a male-dominated orgy designed to get a woman pregnant, though there is no suggestion that he actually took part in such activity. Likewise, he referred in evidence to an occasion when he engaged in sexual activity with both members of a lesbian pair who had approached him via the website.
"The fact that Mr F is bound in his professional life by a clear code of ethics makes the risks he was taking the more surprising. His prolific sexual activity with recipients amounted to a brazen flouting of the rules of the website, such as they were.
"In one relevant period of two to three months alone, he was on his own account having sex with three women and providing artificial insemination to two others. Most of these contacts had to be kept secret from the other women involved.
"The sheer logistical challenge alongside his professional life will have been a burden that he would have been likely to have laid down if he had not been driven on by some degree of compulsion."
The judge said the litigation had cost nearly £300,000 in total.
And he said evidence had revealed problems in controlling the "informal trade" in fertility treatment.
"Happily, many children are born to individuals or couples who have faced challenges in conceiving. Some births follow treatment at licensed clinics and others originate from informal arrangements. Either way, those involved must often be confronted by profound feelings and powerful forces. These include, relevantly to this case, a yearning for children, a need for friendship and a hunger for sex, forces that can overpower and defeat routine social conventions," said Mr Justice Peter Jackson.
"Nor should it be forgotten that, however difficult or unsatisfactory the circumstances of conception may have been, a child - as here - has been born. But it is naive to ignore the difficulties that can arise from time to time. Even in the field of regulated fertility treatment there are clear examples."
He added: "Nonetheless, regulation is broadly successful in protecting participants from exploitation and from health risks, while providing some certainty about legal relationships. Codes of Practice limit the number of times a person can donate sperm: in this country a donor can normally donate to a maximum of 10 families.
"In comparison, participants in informal arrangements have to judge all risks for themselves. They may not be in a good position to do so. Those seeking to conceive may be in a vulnerable state and not all donors are motivated by altruism.
"This informal trade is not unlawful, but it is not regulated in any meaningful way. The website in this case (which I will not name as it has not participated in the proceedings) is a case in point.
"It charges not inconsiderable fees to those looking for donors while projecting a rose-tinted account of successful, problem-free conception. It supplies a document entitled 'Donor Agreement' that purports to record agreement that the donor will have no rights in relation to the child and that the mother and the child will have no rights against the donor in any circumstances.
"The concern is that documents of this kind create the false impression that these informal arrangements are somehow regulated. While there is nothing wrong, and much to be recommended, in people recording their intentions, no one should be misled into believing that will have legal effect.
"In reality, on the evidence I have heard, there is no effective control whatever of the activities resulting from websites of this kind: for example, although it is said to be a cardinal rule of the website that it is 'artificial insemination only'. Mr F's own public profile on the site openly advertised him as offering 'artificial insemination and natural intercourse'. The present case amply demonstrates the risks involved for all participants in this process."

|Image courtesy of Gynecoma.com, a great resource for men with gynecomastia
I have written hundreds of blogs about breast and bra related issues for women. This week is the first time I'm writing about a male breast issue. In the last month I have been corresponding with two men who both have gynecomastia. Gynecomastia is a condition that causes excessive breast tissue growth in men. It is far more common than we realize largely because there are still huge social barriers for men to talk about vulnerabilities or concerns, especially one that is so female-centric, so many men don't know it is a common condition. The first email I received about gynecomastia explained that there is very little information and support out there for men with gynecomastia so would I consider writing a blog with helpful information that could be a resource. I am very pleased to be able to help.
What Causes Gynecomastia?
The growth of excess breast tissue in men is caused by a hormonal imbalance. This imbalance can be caused by a number of things: puberty, illness, medications, aging and environmental factors. Gynecomastia is not of itself a harmful condition but you should always consult your doctor if you have sudden or prolonged breast tissue growth to check your overall health. There are 4 levels of severity in breast tissue enlargement:
|Image courtesy of Gynecoma.com
For a huge number of men gynecomastia is a temporary condition that rights itself as the body restores the hormonal balance. For others though, especially those whose gynecomastia has been triggered by ongoing medications, the condition is prolonged and or permanent.
How Do You Treat Gynecomastia?
Once your doctor confirms a diagnosis of gynecomastia they will be in the best position to assess whether it's likely a temporary condition that will pass with improved health or at the end of a course of medication. If the gynecomastia is more permanent then there is no physical need to have the breast tissue removed (unless, in some cases, if the condition is accompanied by pain in the breast tissue). There is some pharmaceutical treatment available, however, it's not recommended in each case and the success rates are not guaranteed.
You may elect to have surgery to remove the tissue but it's worth bearing in mind that this is not covered by medical insurance as it is considered a cosmetic procedure. There are also risks associated with surgery that should be considered: loss of sensation, asymmetry, infection, hematoma and scarring. Elective surgery has become increasingly common with over 10,000 elective surgeries being performed each year in the US alone so your doctor will be able to give you more information about the surgery options where you live.
If there's no medical reason to have surgery and you don't elect to have it then you can live perfectly healthily with gynecomastia.
How Do You Support Breast Tissue?
Lots of men choose not to use any support garments for their gynecomastia but this can be painful. A lot of women will tell you that going braless isn't an option for them because the movement impact is too painful, this can happen for men too as the physiology is largely the same.
Finding a bra that will not only support you but give you the shape you want can be hard enough for women; for men there is an extra layer of social ignorance about the condition that can make it really tough. There are some compression garments designed for men (mostly post surgical but they can also be worn for daily wear) but these aren't readily available and can be expensive. As one of the men I've been consulting with explained to me, getting bra fit help can be hard. He shared with me his experiences of trying to get fitting help from a mainstream lingerie store and it was heartbreaking.
"In my early 60s my testosterone levels took a very sudden dive and over 6 months I developed significant breast tissue. I had to get some support because the pulling on my chest was really painful. My wife came with me to a local lingerie store and I nervously began to explain that I was in need of support . It wasn't said but the assistant treated me like my inquiry about bra support was sordid or perverted. She was dismissive and wouldn't give me a fitting. My wife was so upset which made me mad and we both left feeling humiliated. Gynecomastia made me feel really alone so to find out I couldn't ask for help with dignity made me feel worse. I found advice on reddit from other men in exactly the same boat; in need of bras for support, not for fashion or fetish purposes. Ultimately the online bra community gave me support, answers and advice about how to find a bra that fits."
I have always said that everyone deserves to be fitted with dignity and respect and this extends to every sex and gender. With that in mind I have been educating myself as much as possible in the last month about bra fit for men with gynecomastia. I will be completely honest and say that I don't have anywhere near as much experience with bra fit for men as I do for full busted women but I hope these fit points will be helpful for those men trying to find support.
Bra Fit Tips for Men with Gynecomastia
There are a couple of generalized physiological points to bear in mind when fitting a bra for the male body (please note that these are very general points just worth bearing in mind, the male body is as diverse in shape and size as the female body).
* A lot of men have more muscular chests because higher testosterone levels in men builds more muscle in men than in women. The additional muscle can make the chest broader so bras with wide wires are more comfortable if you have a wide chest and breast root.
* While male and female skeletons are incredibly similar, male bones grow for longer which can make them wider and more angular. This can change the shape of the ribcage to be more triangular or flared. Flared ribcages can be tricky to fit because the band needs to be smaller at the bottom and wider at the top. This post about torso shape can help you if you have a flared ribcage.
* Wire free bras can be a great option for men with gynecomastia, especially if the breast root is very wide and a wide enough wire cannot be easily found. Lots of men appear to have had success with wire free sports bras because the support level is good and the coverage is wide and tall.
* A more angular ribcage can mean a more protruding sternum so men with gynecomastia can find a more comfortable fit in bras with a lower gore (the centre part of the bra between the cups).
* The distribution of breast tissue tends to be wide in men (I've tried to find any physiological reason for this but as of yet, no answers). When you wear a bra with a supportive side panel (a vertical panel that forces the breast tissue forward) wide breast tissue becomes narrower with more projection. This shape will work for some men and not others.
* Bras with a horizontal seam straight across the nipple will give less projection and follow the shape of wide breast tissue. This gives lift and stability without projection. Here are some examples of bras with horizontal seams.
* One of the men I was consulting with said he has always been self conscious about wearing a bra and it is very important to him that the bras are not obvious under clothing. Compression garments and compression sports bras are a good solution for those men who want discreet support as these can look like a regular under vest.
While this is in no way a comprehensive guide to gynecomastia, I hope it adds to the helpful information available to men navigating this condition. If you have experience of either having gynecomasita or fitting men with gynecomastia then we would love to read your comments. Thank you to the two men who were generous with their time and brave with their candour. xx

Good afternoon. We have our interfaces in ConnectR set-up where we have 1 source feeding multiple targets. The multiple targets are usually 1 for LIVE and 1 for DEV. The DEV target is pointing to a development database. We had an issue the other day where allscripts trashed our development database , Yeah Allscripts. Anyway I had turned off the target pointing to the DEV database for Patient demographics. Once they fixed our database I turned on the DEV target and received a few errors. Once the issue was corrected I 'refiled' all the errors in the DEV target worklist. This caused a big problem for us because even though I was in the DEV worklist it also 'refiled' all those same errors to the LIVE target which set some data back to how it looked earlier.
Has anyone else come across this problem and found a way to deal with refiling data where multiple targets are attached to a single source?

I am writing about Indian concert review which is my passion. I also write about zentai and other things but without occasional good indian concerts, I would have no air to breath. My wish is to be friend with Indian concert organiser in Singapore who can send me emails on occasions of every Indian concerts. I like both Hindustani and Carnatic, instrumental and vocal. I don't like fusion of Indian and some other things because they are normally not pushing the energy high but instead composing something 'different' in style. What I want is a level of consciousness.
