Everyone loves a bargain. There's a sweeping statement. Here's another: no one likes to feel like they're being ripped off. Especially when you're being ripped off by something purporting to be a bargain. That's the convoluted logic informing Channel 4's Dispatches, "Secrets of the Discount Stores," (airing Monday evening 9 December) which aims to unpick the discount offers touted by the likes of cut-price high-street merchant TK Maxx and outlets like Bicester Village. Unpick, and by all intents and purposes deflate.
Certainly, they need to be deflated a little. "Always up to 60% less than the RRP," is a claim that TK Maxx trumpet on their website. "Always up to" is a dodgy, non-committal bit of verbiage. It doesn't guarantee anything. The Dispatches expose, however, hinges on the RRP rather than the discount. Namely, that TK Maxx are manufacturing the clothes themselves and inventing said retail prices; or acting in cahoots with certain designer brands to manufacture lower-priced lines.
To be frank, TK Maxx's claims have always seemed spurious – such as the claim that by working directly with designer brands, they can offer current-season at half-off. How can one retailer really offer a designer label at 50 per cent discount, while everyone else – including the label's own stores - are selling them at full whack? The simple answer is: they can't. If it looks too good to be true, it probably is. Once you're inside a TK Maxx, you realise it isn't some sartorial Garden of Eden packed with cut-price same-season temptation. A lot of TK Maxx's goods, in my relatively educated opinion, are tat. They're badly-made of poor-quality fabrics. But that's the case across many stores on the high-street.
What TK Maxx can offer is the occasional gem. In the fashion industry, everyone has a story: the Azzedine Alaïa belt reduced from £700 to £80; the Lanvin coat reduced from £3,000 to £500; the Christopher Kane dress, from three figures to £250. Apocryphal? No – because I've seen these all myself. I've heard stories of many more. I actually bought the Lanvin coat. The reason it was so cheap? It was four seasons old at the time.
There's the rub: don't go into TK Maxx expecting this season's Saint Laurent for £4.50. The same is true of Bicester Village. The outlet phenomenon began when designer brands realised that, regardless of season, their goods still had a market – and a value. Think of them as an extended sale, augmented with influxes of product from elsewhere in the world.
A few outlet malls in the United States carry ranges specially created for them - the designer brands I contacted with have a presence in Bicester, as well as representatives of the outlet village itself, deny this is the case there. The shopping experience is also profoundly different. TK Maxx is a free-for-all, high jostling with low, the implication being that bargains await. Bicester is more civilised - boutiques decorated like their full-price equivalents, albeit hung with last-season's cut-price merchandise. The catch? That experience means the clothes generally costs a little bit more. TK Maxx can often feel like a jumble sale. And, as with a jumble sale, you could walk away with a treasure or get ripped-off with some trash.
Fashion, ultimately, is a business. A business worth £21bn in the UK alone. The error here is expecting a free or easy ride. If a retailer is selling a frock at a hefty discount, no matter how cheap, rest assured they're going to be making money on it somewhere and somehow. That, after all, is the whole point.

NEW YORK (AP) The New York Jets told employees on the business side of the team's operations Thursday that they must take two weeks of unpaid leave this offseason in an effort to withstand the sagging economy.
Rather than cut jobs, as several other teams and the league office have done in recent weeks, owner Woody Johnson approved a plan that requires approximately 50 employees to take furloughs during a four-week period in late-June and early July, Matt Higgins, the team's executive vice president of business operations, told The Associated Press.
The departments affected include marketing, media relations, finance and business operations. Employees on the football side, such as general manager Mike Tannenbaum and coach Rex Ryan, aren't included in the plan because those departments are making reductions to their operating expenses.
"Like every other business in America, we're facing challenges and trying to weather those challenges," Higgins said. "We're implementing a furlough plan that reflects the fact that our business is seasonal. We really wanted to do everything possible to preserve jobs and keep our team together."
Johnson worked with Higgins, Thad Sheely, the Jets' executive vice president of stadium development and finance, and several others on the plan.
"Woody, myself and Thad, we all felt it was important to keep everyone employed from a humanitarian standpoint," Higgins said. "There's a sense of esprit de corps we'll all work together on this. ... I don't want to speak for everybody, but by and large, the decision has been received positively."
Last week, the NFL announced that it had reduced its staff by 15% and commissioner Roger Goodell took a 20-25% pay cut. Meanwhile, teams such as Cleveland, Washington, Indianapolis and Carolina have cut jobs during the tough economic times.
"We all needed to make a sacrifice collectively so we can keep the team together," Higgins said. "We considered layoffs, but we felt we were at a unique crossroads."
Higgins said the team is "relatively weathering" the struggling economy after relocating its headquarters to Florham Park, N.J., last fall and having the prospects of a new shared stadium with the Giants opening in 2010. The team is also encouraged by its personal seat license program and several long-term sponsorships for its facility and stadium.
The Jets have spent big bucks on high-priced players the last two offseasons, including doling out $140 million last winter and signing linebacker Bart Scott to a six-year, $48 million deal last week. Higgins didn't think there would be any backlash from employees or the public because of the spending on the field.
"The object of the football team is to win on the field, and you know what it takes and I think everyone understands that," he said. "We're all here to win."

After immediately arriving in Austin, Texas, for a similar unofficial visit to check out the Longhorns, Montana had positive reflections on his trip to Columbus.
"It was great," he told BuckeyeSports.com. "It's hard to say anything bad about the place. They kept me busy the whole time, and it was a good overall visit."
While in Columbus, Montana said he got to check out the entire campus including Ohio Stadium before sitting down and speaking with the coaching staff and academic advisors. After that, he also took in a tour of the school's college of business.
One coach he did not get to spend time with was OSU head coach Jim Tressel, however.
"He was actually not here," Montana said. "He's with 20 other coaches with the Nike rep, so he was out of town."
While in Columbus, Montana said he primarily spent time with quarterbacks coach Joe Daniels and football operations assistant Nick Siciliano, who is also helping out at the quarterbacks position.
"They're a phenomenal group of guys," he said.
In addition to the time with the coaches, Montana said he got to meet a few current Buckeyes including incumbent starter Terrelle Pryor.
"It was awesome," he said. "They're a great bunch of guys. It's fun, especially coming from California to see all the guys from Ohio and wherever else they come from."
Montana's two-day visit saw central Ohio enjoy some seasonably warm weather, with temperatures hovering in the upper 40s. Warm is a relative term in this case, Montana said.
"I guess it was a pretty warm day for everyone in Ohio, but for me and my mom it was pretty cold," he said with a laugh.
Montana's father, Joe, was unable to make the trip with his son. Instead, he was accompanied by his mother, Jennifer.
Prior to the trip, Nick said his hope was to get a better feel for what campus life would be like should he decide to attend school at OSU. After the visit, the 6-1, 185-pound member of the class of 2010 said he had accomplished that goal.
"It was a little different, but I think that's what intrigues me about the place and about being away from home," he said. "I know it's not something I couldn't handle. I think it would be a fun experience."
Next up is a similar visit to check out the Longhorns, although they have not offered Montana a scholarship. There remains no timetable as to when Montana might pick a final school, he said, adding that it could come in a week or a month.
The OSU coaches are aware of the situation and have not pressured him into trying to make a quick decision, Montana said.
"Coach Daniels mentioned it again," he said. "They just told me what they told me before, that I'm their guy. They didn't push me into anything.
"It was definitely a plus getting out to Columbus. I had a good time."

"Tentacles Of Doom" is the third episode of the second series of Channel 4 sitcom Father Ted and the ninth episode overall.
Episode Plot[edit]
The episode begins with Dougal reading Gary Lineker's Book of Ghost Stories, supposedly too scary to complete – followed by a discussion with Ted on ghost sightings (following a rambling "scary" story about Ted staying at his great-aunt's house where a girl had apparently hanged herself in his room, neither has seen any – Dougal's "ghost" in fact being Ted himself).
While dealing with serious plumbing problems at the parochial house, which turns out to have started after Ted gave the toilet an extra hard flush after Jack used it and furthered by Jack hiding alcohol bottles in the plumbing, Ted receives some bad news. He learns that the nearby Holy Stone of Clonrichert is being upgraded to a "class two relic" by the Vatican. Three bishops are to be sent to Craggy Island to perform the ceremony. This means that the priests must be "on their best behaviour". Ted realizes that Jack, in his perpetual drunkenness, stands to offend the bishops. He sets out to train Jack to say some all-encompassing phrases, apart from his usual stream of obscenities. After much effort, Jack is able to enunciate "Yes" and "That would be an ecumenical matter" after Ted says there will be drink for him if he manages. Mrs Doyle meanwhile has lost her contact lenses after a "dog ran off with them" – meaning she has to put on her ineffective spectacles which make her look like a "frustrated old bag."
When the bishops arrive, the priests manage to interact fairly normally with the visitors. One, Bishop O'Neill, even goes so far as to say that Jack will make a valuable contribution during their visit. Another, Bishop Facks, dominates conversation with enthusiastic rhetoric about improving the church's image. The oldest, Bishop Jordan, remains mainly contemplative, although he warns them that he has a heart condition, having had a heart attack last year. Dougal nearly gives him a heart attack when he gives a loud yell after finding out the film Aliens is on T.V, thinking Bishops love science fiction. Mrs Doyle goes into a fit of hysterical laughter when Bishop Jordan says his housekeeper isn't as good and sometimes he thinks he should be making the tea for her. The ceremony passes without incident and the priests and bishops begin to interact on a one-to-one basis. Father Ted is thoroughly confused by Bishop Jordan's thoughts on mortality and asks to be excused for a trip to the toilet. Unfortunately, Bishop Jordan situates himself above the drain where the parochial house's sewage is fired into the air in lieu of proper disposal. When Ted flushes, the old man has a heart attack.
Dougal and Bishop O'Neill share a conversation. Dougal talks about the doubts he has regarding organised religion and the Catholic Church. The bishop listens earnestly and begins to have doubts of his own, having already had his faith tested. Meanwhile, Bishop Facks displays increasingly aggressive enthusiasm for Father Jack's religious "views" at the relic site. Eventually, Jack loses all restraint after getting hit on the shoulder by the Bishop's finger and attacks Bishop Facks, jamming the Holy Stone into his rectum. The last scene shows Bishop O'Neill embracing Dougal's jumbled philosophy as he gives up the church for a life as a hippie and departs for India in a painted minivan with some pot-smoking hippies. Bishop Facks, clearly in agony, is escorted away for medical attention (Ted briefly asks if the Holy Stone "will still be a Class 2 when they remove it"). It is then revealed that Bishop Jordan has died, as his coffin is taken from the parochial house. When all have gone, Ted reflects on the visit, remarking that it went rather well.
Father Jack's regular vocabulary is expanded by one word starting in this episode, with "Girls!" being the new addition.

These dynamic instructions and drawings can eliminate a substantial number of errors that can creep into even a well-run manufacturing process.
Innovate faster
Customers think more highly of a door and window manufacturer when they can see fresh innovative features that clearly meet their needs better than the competitors' offerings. Infor PCM makes it possible to attain the same level of delivery accuracy for your make-to-order doors and windows that customers expect from off-the-shelf products.

no noise without brakes
I have a metal insulated cup that I have been using for over a year. When I bought this car in December, I started noticing that the bottom of my cup gets hot. Obviously the longer I'm in the car, the hotter the cup gets. I've never owned any other car that has ever had this issue. What could be the problem? Obviously the dealer doesn't want to deal with it. I need to know if I need to dump this car before it causes me more headaches.
I clean my windows and within 24 - 48 hours they are filmy, like I've been some sort of chain smoker. When I bought the car I felt it smelled a little odd. I have seen on other sites that it's a small leak in the heater core, but the dealer said there isn't one. I honestly think it's a small leak, but what else could it be?
I have an engine start/stop button on my vehicle. About an hour later, the brake is no longer stiff & the car starts. Why does this happen every so often?
has fluid/water but fails to squirt!
the rear sensor lites up and shows something behind the car as soon as reverse is selected
At least two stone chips in the paint on the hood have resulted in bubbled paint and rust. Rust has also erupted near on headlight, with no evidence of a nick or chip.
I just bought this great car only to find that my wife cannot drive the car. she is short and she cannot push in the clutch all the way when trying to shift. she will not move the seat closer because she heard that she can be killed by the airbag if she is too close to it if it deploys. She tried to drive the car a few times and due to clutch she stalls out, recently in a busy intersection, almost causing an accident.
I asked my dealer if we can swap the 5 speed for auto trans. they haven't given me a definite answer and i hope they aren't just blowing me off hoping I change my mind. I cannot change my mind as this is a definite safety issue. if the dealer says no what recourse do i have? please reply to my email

My lessons are relaxed, but focused. We'll explore pieces by your favorite composers, music fundamentals, and instrumental technique.
Music is a language. The process we undergo as we acquire our mother tongue is a good model for our teaching/learning endeavor; the emphasis will be on learning to play by playing.
We'll proceed in a spirit of creative risk-taking and experimentation, while building on a tradition that stretches from the vihuela players of the 15th century to Jimi Hendrix and beyond.
I incorporate a number of methods into my teaching, often utilizing these texts to lend structure to a hobbyist's casual practice, or as a supplement to a customized training routine for the preparation of a college audition.
Many of my students compose their own music and play publicly. I often work with musicians whose playing and writing abilities stretch beyond their ability to conceptualize in conventional music theory terms. These players are concerned with retaining their current abilities and musical identity, but also with gaining perspective; I'm sensitive to suggesting and co-exploring new possibilities without becoming prohibitive or dogmatic. Music is art!

In an effort to keep more recyclables out of the New Hanover county Landfill, local officials agree to the construction of a Material Recovery Facility (MRF) at the former New Hanover County WASTEC facility on U.S. 421.
Under the agreement executed on June 30, New Hanover County and the City of Wilmington will permit Sonoco Recycling, LLC to construct and operate the new facility which will sort recyclable materials typically mixed together with garbage.
According to a news release from New Hanover County, the agreement binds the city and the county to commit all tons collected from their recycling operations and expects up to 25,000 tons to be diverted from the landfill annually.
The City of Wilmington's previous agreement with Waste Management sent recycled materials to Raleigh with processing fees at $20 a ton. According to Joe Suleyman, Director of Environmental Management for New Hanover County, the city will now pay New Hanover County $10 per ton. Savings for both entities could be more than $650,000 annually.
"This agreement, and the infrastructure it brings to the county, provides a tremendous opportunity to expand and enhance recycling efforts countywide," said Suleyman,
City residents who participate in the city's recycling program will continue to use their blue roll-out carts, while the county will continue to use its recycling drop-off locations.
He expects the new Sonoco MRF to be finished by this Thanksgiving and be capable of sorting and separating phase one recyclables, such as cardboard and paper products.
New Hanover County and the City of Wilmington will sort and bail their recyclable materials at the county landfill which will then be delivered to another Sonoco MRF in Jacksonville until the construction of the new facility is finished, Suleyman said.
New Hanover County cited Sonoco as "one of the world's largest manufacturers of industrial, consumer and protective packaging and provider of packaging services.
"In addition, the company is one of the leading producers of recycled paperboard, utilizing more than a million tons of recovered paper annually in its papermaking operations."

>What kind of "rain" did you have? Solid? I can't believe rain did
that much damage. It must have POURED for hours.
Some of it was solid, yes. Hail. Not large hail like last year, but
I was told it came down heavy for a brief period. Definitely ice is
solid. And it also poured heavily for hours and was occasionally
powered by strong winds. Most of the breakage is due to the hail,
but heavy rain powered by strong wind can lay even strong stalks down
and destroy any open blooms. At least we got the much needed rain.
The larger hail last year had very little rain with it - less than
half an inch - and it proved to be our last rain until some light
showers in the fall. My treasured oak trees never fully recovered
and I really want to see them get sufficient moisture this year.
I'm sorry to see so many broken stalks and ruined buds, but a lot
survived too and some things are running much later this year.
Barring another disaster I'll still see some nice bloom. I'm
naturally disappointed to miss - yet again - some seedlings I'd love
to see and the timing will interfere with the daubing I'd like to
try, but I'm very grateful for the rain.

Howard Kennedy partners knew they were in for a cultural overhaul when they appointed the firm's first non-lawyer chief executive Mark Dembovsky.
They never dared to dream that he would reward them for this with anything other than old-fashioned cash. Yet that is precisely what he did.
When the firm converted to an LLP the partners arrived at work to find a muffin on their desk bearing the LLP brand.
Then last month, still in the depths of winter, the firm held its first-ever AGM.
And what did Howard Kennedy partners get for attending? Why, a lovely summery stick of rock.
Next time they should just pop to the seaside and be done with it.
Guinea growl
Ah, the perils of a merger. Tulkinghorn understands that partners at Ashurst, which is in a potentially pre-merger courtship with Australian firm Blake Dawson, are now warning associates that if they don't behave they'll be sent to Papua New Guinea.
Makes a change from Coventry.
Cover band
The god of rock 'n' roll is alive and well and working at SJ Berwin. When Tulkinghorn says 'working', he actually means crooning. For word reaches The Lawyer that the star of the firm's Christmas party was insurance partner Jeremy Goldring, who led the in-house band at the bash Its name? Funds Loves Criminals. Naturally.
New Year's nightmare
More festive season-related jollity – and yes, Tulkinghorn can confirm that it will be the last for this year. But this one is simply too good to pass over.
A hangover and his feet up in front of the telly is not the way Clifford Chance partner Simon Gleeson chose to spend his New Year's Day. Instead, the finance specialist took his horse for a spin.
Unfortunately, the nag's preferred method of celebrating the coming 12 months was to fall on top of the esteemed lawyer. Cue the slightly embarrassing scenario of Gleeson popping up – in full hunting kit – at the local chocka A&E full of the great unwashed sporting their usual cuts and bruises.
Tally ho.
Morning glory
Last week's big news was not that Russell Jones & Walker (RJW) is being bought by Aussie personal injury machine Slater & Gordon. It was that RJW's PR man in-chief Andy Hoe made it back from his weekend stag do at 2.30am, just in time to make it into the office for the announcement of the deal.
Ladies and gentlemen, that's style.

Not So Great: Norwegian Getaway Cruise Review by pbmiller32
Overall Member Rating
Not So Great
Destination: Eastern Caribbean
Embarkation: Miami
On a positive note, we did like the shows, especially Legally Blonde and Burn the Floor. The 50's/60's singer/band were really good, too. The Not So Newlywed game was fun. The Illusionarium is a must see (+$29 for floor seats including dinner) as is the Q & A with their cast later in the week at the atrium (free). The towel exchange @ the dock when re-boarding after an island stop was a great idea - no need to carry a wet towel on-board and trek to the pool area to exchange it for a dry one. The dining experience was wonderful @ Cagney's (+$30); delicious food, attentive waiters, lovely dining room and a chef who created dishes to accommodate our allergies - just talk with the chef a day or two in advance, tell him what you'd like from the menu, and he'll make it while accommodating your allergies. Having the silverware encased in napkins in a holder on each table in the Garden Cafe was a really good idea - no need to juggle it along with your plate and drink at the buffet. Freestyle dining worked well; no need to dress for dinner. The ropes course, spider web, rock climbing wall, zip line, water slides, trampoline, and mini golf were enjoyed by both of our grandchildren. Our 15 year old granddaughter, who joined Entourage, the teen club, had a blast! She made new friends from Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Puerto Rico, & Norway as well as the US and said it was her best vacation ever.
Unfortunately, there are quite a few negatives. In order to turn the lights and any electrical current on in the room, your cabin room key or a credit card must be inserted into a slot just inside the door. That means when you leave the cabin there is a possibility of forgetting your key; if you do remember to take it, you cannot charge any electronic devices while you are gone b/c there is no electricity generated; I found this to be a really dumb plan on NCL's part. There is an unforgivable lack of pools on-board - one small family pool, a little kids "wet" area, and a small adult pool. Spice H20 makes absolutely no sense - it's a large area in the back of the ship with a cement center surrounded with lounge chairs in the sun; only a couple of umbrellas are around the perimeter; mini waterfalls provide little respite from the heat. It would have made so much more sense to use this space to build a large pool which could have been covered with a floor (as they do on the Oasis during their water spectacular) in the evenings when events are held there. Not to allow an 11 year old to sign himself out of Splash, the kids club, until he had spent two hours there was ridiculous! The elevators were very small and claustrophobic; none of them surrounded the atrium as is the case on RCCL & Princess. Unless we were in port, our cabin never was cleaned before 1:30 PM, something I've never encountered on our cruises. The ship was way too crowded! It is built to accommodate 3969 - 4000 @ 146,600 GT; our cruise had 4800 passengers - 800 too many. NB: RCCL Oasis is built to accommodate 54,000 passengers @ 225,282 GT, a much better ratio; not once did I feel crowded on that ship. It is obvious that NCL built a ship with smaller rooms, smaller elevators, and smaller as well as fewer pools in order to accommodate more people in less space so they could make more money.
Overall, based on our experience, I cannot recommend this cruise ship for anyone but a teenager. Our 11 year old grandson said the online videos were better than the actual cruise. The 5 adults felt very crowded; it was literally "butt to butt" in the pools. Less
Published 07/19/14
Cabin review: 9188
Very small, the smallest of any cruise ship on which I've traveled. In fact, it was smaller than balcony cabins on RCCL and Princess. The balcony, too, was the smallest I've even encountered on a cruise ship. The bathroom, however, was spacious by comparison. It had a long double/type sink, a large glass enclosed shower with multiple jets, shelves above the sink, 2 cabinets for storage under the sink, and a small drawer for storage under the tissue dispenser as well as plenty of room to move around.

text: Introduction (Outline) • • • • The Software Development Process Performance Analysis: the Big Oh. Abstract Data Types Introduction to Data Structures CS 103 1 The Software Development Process CS 103 2 Software Development • Requirement analysis, leading to a specification of the problem • Design of a solution • Implementation of the solution (coding) • Analysis of the solution • Testing, debugging and integration • Maintenance and evolution of the system. CS 103 3 Specification of a problem • A precise statement/description of the problem. • It involves describing the input, the expected output, and the relationship between the input and output. • This is often done through preconditions and postconditions. CS 103 4 Design • Formulation of a method, that is, of a sequence of steps, to solve the problem. • The design "language" can be pseudo-code, flowcharts, natural language, any combinations of those, etc. • A design so expressed is called an algorithm(s). • A good design approach is a top-down design where the problem is decomposed into smaller, simpler pieces, where each piece is designed into a module. CS 103 5 Implementation • Development of actual C++ code that will carry out the design and solve the problem. • The design and implementation of data structures, abstract data types, and classes, are often a major part of design implementation. CS 103 6 Implementation (Good Principles) • Code Re-use – Re-use of other people's software – Write your software in a way that makes it (re)usable by others • Hiding of implementation details: emphasis on the interface. • Hiding is also called data encapsulation • Data structures are a prime instance of data encapsulation and code re-use CS 103 7 Analysis of the Solution • • Estimation of how much time and memory an algorithm takes. The purpose is twofold: – – to get a ballpark figure of the speed and memory requirements to see if they meet the target to compare competing designs and thus choose the best before any further investment in the application (implementation, testing, etc.) CS 103 8 Testing and Debugging • Testing a program for syntactical correctness (no compiler errors) Testing a program for semantic correctness, that is, checking if the program gives the correct output. This is done by • • – – – – • having sample input data and corresponding, known output data running the programs against the sample input comparing the program output to the known output in case there is no match, modify the code to achieve a perfect match. One important tip for thorough testing: Fully exercise the code, that is, make sure each line of your code is executed. CS 103 9 Integration • Gluing all the pieces (modules) together to create a cohesive whole system. CS 103 10 Maintenance and Evolution of a System • Ongoing, on-the-job modifications and updates of the programs. CS 103 11 Preconditions and Postconditions • A semi-formal, precise way of specifying what a function/program does, and under what conditions it is expected to perform correctly • Purpose: Good documentation, and better communications, over time and space, to other programmers and user of your code CS 103 12 Precondition • It is a statement of what must be true before function is called. • This often means describing the input: – the input type – the conditions that the input values must satisfy. • A function may take data from the environment – Then, the preconditions describe the state of that environment – that is, the conditions that must be satisfied, in order to guarantee the correctness of the function. • The programmer is responsible for ensuring that the precondition is valid when the function is called. CS 103 13 Postcondition • It is a statement of what will be true when the function finishes its work. • This is often a description of the function output, and the relationship between output and input. • A function may modify data from the environment (such as global variables, or files) – the postconditions describe the new values of those data after the function call is completed, in relation to what the values were before the function was called. CS 103 14 Example of Pre/Post-Conditions void get_sqrt( double x) // Precondition: x >= 0. // Postcondition: The output is a number // y = the square root of x. CS 103 15 C++ Way of Asserting Preconditions • Use the library call assert (condition) • You have to include #include <cassert> • It makes sure that condition is satisfied (= true), in which case the execution of the program continues. • If condition is false, the program execution terminates, and an error message is printed out, describing the cause of the termination. CS 103 16 Performance Analysis and Big-O CS 103 17 Performance Analysis • • • • • Determining an estimate of the time and memory requirement of the algorithm. Time estimation is called time complexity analysis Memory size estimation is called space complexity analysis. Because memory is cheap and abundant, we rarely do space complexity analysis Since time is "expensive" , analysis now defaults to time complexity analysis CS 103 18 Big-O Notation • Let n be a non-negative integer representing the size of the input to an algorithm • Let f(n) and g(n) be two positive functions, representing the number of basic calculations (operations, instructions) that an algorithm takes (or the number of memory words an algorithm needs). CS 103 19 Big-O Notation (contd.) • f(n)=O(g(n)) iff there exist a positive constant C and non-negative integer n0 such that f(n) Cg(n) for all nn0. • g(n) is said to be an upper bound of f(n). CS 103 20 Big-O Notation (Examples) • f(n) = 5n+2 = O(n) // g(n) = n – f(n) 6n, for n 3 (C=6, n0=3) • f(n)=n/2 –3 = O(n) – f(n) 0.5 n for n 0 (C=0.5, n0=0) • n2-n = O(n2) // g(n) = n2 – n2-n n2 for n 0 (C=1, n0=0) • n(n+1)/2 = O(n2) – n(n+1)/2 n2 for n 0 (C=1, n0=0) CS 103 21 Big-O Notation (In Practice) • When computing the complexity, – f(n) is the actual time formula – g(n) is the simplified version of f • Since f(n) stands often for time, we use T(n) instead of f(n) • In practice, the simplification of T(n) occurs while it is being computed by the designer CS 103 22 Simplification Methods • If T(n) is the sum of a constant number of terms, drop all the terms except for the most dominant (biggest) term; • Drop any multiplicative factor of that term • What remains is the simplified g(n). • amnm + am-1nm-1+...+ a1n+ a0=O(nm). • n2-n+log n = O(n2) CS 103 23 Big-O Notation (Common Complexities) • • • • • • • • T(n)=O(1) T(n)=O(log n) T(n)=O(n) T(n)=O(n2) T(n)=O(n3) T(n)=O(nc), c 1 T(n)=O(logc n), c 1 T(n)=O(nlog n) // constant time // logarithmic // linear //quadratic //cubic // polynomial // polylogarithmic CS 103 24 Big-O Notation (Characteristics) • The big-O notation is a simplification mechanism of time/memory estimates. • It loses precision, trading precision for simplicity • Retains enough information to give a ballpark idea of speed/cost of an algorithm, and to be able to compare competing algorithms. CS 103 25 Common Formulas • 1+2+3+…+n= n(n+1)/2 = O(n2). • 12+22+32+…+n2= n(n+1)(2n+1)/6 = O(n3) • 1+x+x2+x3+…+xn=(x n+1 – 1)/(x-1) = O(xn). CS 103 26 Example of Time Complexity Analysis and Big-O • Pseudo-code of finding a maximum of x[n]: double M=x[0]; for i=1 to n-1 do if (x[i] > M) M=x[i]; endif endfor return M; CS 103 27 Complexity of the algorithm • T(n) = a+(n-1)(b+a) = O(n) • Where "a" is the time of one assignment, and "b" is the time of one comparison • Both "a" and "b" are constants that depend on the hardware • Observe that the big O spares us from – Relatively unimportant arithmetic details – Hardware dependency CS 103 28 Abstract Data Types CS 103 29 Abstract Data Types • An abstract data type is a mathematical set of data, along with operations defined on that kind of data • Examples: – int: it is the set of integers (up to a certain magnitude), with operations +, -, /, *, % – double: it's the set of decimal numbers (up to a certain magnitude), with operations +, -, /, * CS 103 30 Abstract Data Types (Contd.) • The previous examples belong to what is called built-in data types • That is, they are provided by the programming language • But new abstract data types can be defined by users, using arrays, enum, structs, classes (if object oriented programming), etc. CS 103 31 Introduction to Data Structures CS 103 32 Data Structures • A data structure is a user-defined abstract data type • Examples: – Complex numbers: with operations +, -, /, *, magnitude, angle, etc. – Stack: with operations push, pop, peek, isempty – Queue: enqueue, dequeue, isempty … – Binary Search Tree: insert, delete, search. – Heap: insert, min, delete-min. CS 103 33 Data Structure Design • Specification – A set of data – Specifications for a number of operations to be performed on the data • Design – A lay-out organization of the data – Algorithms for the operations • Goals of Design: fast operations CS 103 34 Implementation of a Data Structure • Representation of the data using built-in data types of the programming language (such as int, double, char, strings, arrays, structs, classes, pointers, etc.) • Language implementation (code) of the algorithms for the operations CS 103 35 Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) And Data Structures • When implementing a data structure in non-OOP languages such as C, the data representation and the operations are separate • In OOP languages such as C++, both the data representation and the operations are aggregated together into what is called objects • The data type of such objects are called classes. • Classes are blue prints, objects are instances.

'Lol these people are cooked:' Boston bomber's chilling tweet sent just hours after the deadly attack
The surviving suspect accused of the Boston Marathon bombings tweeted in the aftermath of the terrorist attack, joking about the fate of victims of the explosions.
Dzhokhar 'Jahar' Tsarnaev, 19, took to the social media website and engaged in banter with a friend making light of the deadly explosions that killed three and injured more than 260.
In one of his many tweets, the college sophomore wrote, 'Lol those people are cooked' likely in reference to a since deleted conversation about the events unfolding in Boston.
Cold-hearted: Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, tweeted hours after the Boston Marathon attacks, joking about the fate of the victims
Dzhokhar and his brother Tamerlan, who is now deceased, have been accused of planting two bombs in the crowd of the race in Boston on April 15, that exploded at 2:49pm.
Less than three hours the attack, Dzhokhar took to Twitter to post a message on 5:05pm that Monday that echoed the sentiment felt most Bostonians, 'Ain't no love in the heart of the city, stay safe people.'
But just a few hours later he began an exchange with a friend, with the Twitter handle @MelloChamp, in which the 19-year-old presumably began referencing the bombings with a callous tone.
It has been difficult to ascertain the nature of the conversation as @MelloChamp has since deleted his profile on the micro blogging website, as have many of the other users linked to the suspect's account.
Mixed messages: Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, took to Twitter just hours about the attacks. His first message responded with compassion but hours later his tone had changed
'What's new with them?' Dzhokhar posted at 8:11pm.
The friend is believed to have responded to his message and the suspect wrote back a few minutes later.
'And they what "god hates dead people?" Or victims of tragedies? Lol those people are cooked,' at 8:13pm.
Then more than an hour later at 9:34pm he wrote, 'There are people that know the truth but stay silent & there are people that speak the truth but we don't hear them cuz they're the minority.'
His Twitter activity also included following the messages posted by others.
that Monday, he favorited a tweet, 'The sad part about
the events in Boston today, is that some bs Hollywood director is gonna
try n make a movie n profit from tragic evens smh,' that was posted by a
Cambridge area resident, identified on Twitter as 2Explicit
When that user was asked about why his message would have caught the attention of Dzhokhar, he responded on April 19, 'I have no insight it was just a tweet.'
Shocking: College friends say they spotted Dzhokhar around campus at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, where he was a sophomore, just a day after the deadly marathon bombings
Dzhokhar's Twitter activity became sporadic on Tuesday, as friends say they saw him around campus and even working out at the gym.
The last tweet he wrote was on Tuesday at 10:43pm, 'I'm a stress free kind of guy.'
After Dzhokhar and his brother allegedly carried out the attacks, the two seemed to slip back into their normal routine
Dzhokhar talked to multiple college friends about the Boston Marathon attack just a day after he allegedly planted the explosives.
'Yeah, man tragedies can happen anywhere in the world. It's too bad,' he told one friend at the gym on the campus of the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth, according to a CNN report last week.
The student, who was not named, told the cable network that 19-year-old Dzhokhar seemed 'tired' but otherwise 'fine.'
Another student reported similar behavior from the suspect.
Fellow Dartmouth student Andrew Glasby said that Dzhokhar lived one floor above him at the campus's Pine Dale dormitory.
Captured: Boston was on lockdown while police hunted for Dzhokhar on April 19. He was ultimately captured that evening, found hiding in a boat in the backyard of a home in Watertown
Glasby said he spoke with the bombing suspect on the campus 24 hours after the marathon explosions became a national terror and was surprised by Dzhokhar's calmness in hindsight.
'I can't believe he had the balls to come back and act like nothing happened,' Glasby said.
Sophomore Zach Bettencourt recalled Dzhokhar telling him on Tuesday evening: 'It's crazy this is happening now. This is so easy to do. These tragedies happen all the time in Afghanistan and Iraq.'
College friends also reported that Dzhokhar was seen out at a college party on Wednesday night, one day before he and his brother allegedly shot dead a MIT campus police officer, hijacked a car and were then intercepted by police in a gun battle early on April 19.
As pictures of the suspects, released by the FBI, flashed onto a television screen being watched by a group of students at Dzhokhar's dorm, Pine Dale Hall, Bettencourt said he and friends were stunned to realize one of the wanted men might be Dzhokhar.
'We all thought it looked like him,' said Bettencourt, 20, of Gloucester, Massachusetts.
'We didn't believe it was him.'
Authorities began to narrow in on the brothers on April 18, when surveillance video of the suspects was released and officials pleaded with the public to come forward to identify them.
On Thursday night, the pair shot dead a MIT police officer and then proceeded to hijack a Mercedes SUV.
The brothers were tracked and intercepted by police in a quiet neighborhood in the Boston suburb of Watertown, Mass.
A ferocious gunbattle ensued, killing the older brother Tamerlan, 26, but 19-year-old Dzhokhar managed to escape.
The entire city of Boston was on lock down on April 19 while police frantically searched for Dzhokhar.
He was found that Friday evening, hiding under a tarp in a boat in the backyard of a home in Watertown.
The suspect was initially hospitalized for his injuries but was later transported to The Federal Medical Center, Devens, a federal prison.
Dzhokhar faces multiple charges including using and conspiring to use a weapon of mass destruction resulting in death and malicious destruction of property resulting in death, in connection to the bombings.

A day after doctors at PD Hinduja Hospital, Mahim, revealed that they have detected 12 patients with totally drug resistant tuberculosis (TDR-TB), a team of state health department and civic officials got in touch with them on Saturday to chalk out a way to deal with the issue. TDR-TB is a condition in which patients do not respond to any TB medication.
"Some officials had come to meet us today to enquire about the details of our study. We are planning to have a meeting with them on Monday. Coordination between the private and public sector is the way forward to improve the situation," said Dr Zarir Udwadia, consultant physician at the hospital.
Additional municipal commissioner Manisha Mhaiskar is also planning a meeting with heads of civic hospitals to decide on an action plan to deal with the incurable TB strain. "There is a need for better provision of medicines and diagnostic tests to tackle TB in the city, and the government should look into this requirement," said Dr Sanjay Oak, dean of KEM Hospital.
The patients, including a 13-year-old girl were diagnosed in October. A 31-year-old woman from Dharavi died in November.
On Friday, Dr PY Gaikwad, joint director for tuberculosis at the state health department, had said that Hinduja hospital findings cannot be relied upon as its laboratory is not accredited to detect such cases. On Saturday, Dr Udwadia said that Hinduja has a WHO-recognised reference laboratory. "Most government centres send their sputum samples to Hinduja hospital's microbiology laboratory for drug sensitivity test because they don't have this facility."

Jason Kidd's part of attraction for Bucks' Jerryd Bayless
6-year veteran guard hopes to learn from future Hall of Famer
St. Francis — Jerryd Bayless has seen plenty in his six pro seasons with five teams.
But something will be new when the 6-foot-3 guard joins the Milwaukee Bucks for training camp in September.
Bayless will be playing under future Hall of Fame point guard Jason Kidd, who will be in his second season as an NBA coach and his first with the Bucks.
"J-Kidd is a young coach but he has been in the league for a long time," Bayless said. "Just being around him and learning from a player of that magnitude, who now has switched over to coaching, is something I'm really looking forward to.
"I think he can help me in different ways, not only from the point guard position, just his view of the game."
Bayless signed his contract with the Bucks on Thursday morning and met with media members at the Cousins Center.
A league source indicated the deal is a two-year, $6 million contract.
The Phoenix native joins a reshaped backcourt that features Brandon Knight, the Bucks' leading scorer last season; point guard Kendall Marshall, recently claimed off waivers from the Los Angeles Lakers; and second-year player Giannis Antetokounmpo, who can play both guard positions in addition to small forward. Second-year point guard Nate Wolters also is in the mix after playing quite a bit as a rookie.
"It's another stop and helping this team out any way I can is what I'm looking forward to," Bayless said. "They have a great young nucleus and a new direction with coach Kidd. It's a great opportunity."
Bayless split last season between Memphis and Boston and played well for the Celtics, who needed backcourt help due to an injury to point guard Rajon Rondo. Bayless was acquired by Boston in early January and averaged 10.1 points for Boston in 41 games, including 14 starts.
He started his NBA career in 2008 with the Portland Trail Blazers and also played for New Orleans and Toronto.
"I think my experience in the league is a little bit different than most," Bayless said. "I'm 25 and I've been in a lot of different situations.... I'm just going to try to teach these guys the right way to do things and help out any way I can."
Bayless said he wasn't planning to move this many times so early in his career.
"Kind of the way the league has gone, there's so much turnover in the new CBA (collective bargaining agreement)," Bayless said. "It's just part of it right now.
"I've never spent a lot of time in Milwaukee except coming here and playing. I'm excited to learn the city."
During his career Bayless has faced many of the same questions as his new teammate Knight. Both are scoring guards but also can handle the ball.
"Whether it's the 1 or the 2, I can do both and I feel I can do both well," Bayless said. "Just depending on whatever coach Kidd envisions for this program, that's what I'm going to try to do."
Bayless said he's not sure how well the Bucks — coming off a league-worst 15 victories — can do next season.
"I haven't been around the guys enough," Bayless said. "But when you look at the pieces, there are some guys who are pretty good."

This is one of my all-time favourite cakes and a great Passover dessert. You can use margarine instead of butter in the cake and coconut milk instead of cream in the glaze if you can't use dairy products (eg. after a meat meal). If it is not for Passover, you can also use all-purpose flour instead of matzo meal.

Raw Food Life Force Energy : Enter a Totally New Stratosphere of Weight Loss, Beauty, and Health Paperback
by Natalia Rose
Part of the Raw Food Series series
If you're feeling weighed down or disillusioned by mainstream foods and diets and need a trusted guide to completely refresh your body and mindset, "The Raw Food Energy Diet" is for you.
According to Natalia Rose, everyone is entitled to a beautiful, lean body, youthful, radiant skin, clarity of mind and purpose, and a tremendous inner joy.
The secret is tapping into our Life Force Energy. Rose reminds us of an age-old principle that is tragically overlooked in the modern world that we are dynamic, energetic, vibrational beings.
If we can properly harness and increase our Life Force Energy through dietary and environmental principles, and therefore cleanse and bring our bodies back to their natural, harmonious frequency, we can experience radically improved levels of health, beauty, and happiness.
Low-energy foods, stress, emotional pain, anger, and environmental toxins block us off from our natural state of health and vitality.Rose presents the virtues of incorporating more raw foods in our diets and eliminating waste from our bodies and lives, much as she did in her previous book, "The Raw Food Detox Diet", but now within an excitingly progressive, holistic framework. "The Raw Food Energy Diet" will inspire, enlighten, and bring comfort to anyone who is mired in destructive patterns of poor eating, unsuccessful dieting, stress, and lethargy.
The Raw Food Energy principles show us how to tap into sources of Life Force Energy and lay the groundwork for Rose's 21-day program, followed by nearly 80 original, mouthwatering recipes.

The examples kick-start your BigInsights projects, allowing you to move at warp speed on your big data use cases. The project can be found on GitHub.
One of the key roles of today's data scientists and other data practitioners is exploratory analysis—handling data sets that you don't know much about and understanding what they are and what's potentially valuable about them. Sometimes new data scientists and practitioners have a tendency to jump straight in and start running their data through a machine learning algorithm. However, the first and most important thing to do when you get hold of a new data set is to make some plots and visualize the data.
A famous example is Anscombe's quartet—four data sets that have almost identical statistical properties when you look at their standard summary statistics such as mean, variance, x/y correlation and linear regression. But when you see the data in a graphical format (see it here), you realize that the four data sets are completely different.
That's why visualization is so important; if you can see the shape of the data, you can start drawing some useful conclusions about what it means. And that's the first reason why Jupyter Notebooks is such a great tool. Notebooks give people who work with data the ability to plot and visualize data sets very quickly and easily, see if they are skewed or have other problems, and decide how to work with the data to turn it into something valuable.
Notebooks have the potential to change the whole culture around the way data practitioners and data scientists report their results because they help you prove that your methods are sound and your work is reproducible. The code itself is all embedded in the notebook, where it can be audited and rerun against your data by other data users—and that capability means anyone who needs to work with the data, not just data scientists. Also, the notebooks are self-documenting because you can add narrative sections to explain what you did and why. Following your logic and checking your methods and assumptions is so easy for readers.
Since the notebooks themselves are just [JavaScript Object Notation] JSON documents, tools such as GitHub can render previews of them, so you can browse other people's notebooks and find interesting analyses that you might want to download, try and tinker with for yourself. So notebooks are really helping people to share knowledge and democratize data science as a discipline.
Looking at a slightly longer-term view, notebooks very likely are going to spread far beyond the traditional domain of data science and data engineering. In the future, I think we're going to see all kinds of business users benefiting from some type of Jupyter Notebooks application.
The problem with some of the standard programming tools used in Jupyter Notebooks, such as Python and R, is that they don't scale very well over multiple cores or processors. If you're running a notebook against a data set that fits on your laptop, that approach is not really a problem. But if you're working with a larger data set, or you're doing something that involves a more sophisticated algorithm such as training a machine learning model, you're quickly going to run into the limitations of the hardware. And you will whether that limitation is in terms of storage, RAM, CPU speed or all three.
Spark solves that problem.
