title: European hare

text: Across Europe, over five million European hares are shot each year, making it probably the most important game mammal on the continent. This popularity has threatened regional varieties such as those of France and Denmark, through large-scale importing of hares from Eastern European countries such as Hungary. Hares have traditionally been hunted in Britain by beagling and hare coursing. In beagling, the hare is hunted with a pack of small hunting dogs, beagles, followed by the human hunters on foot. In Britain, the 2004 Hunting Act banned hunting of hares with dogs, so the 60 beagle packs now use artificial "trails", or may legally continue to hunt rabbits. Hare coursing with greyhounds was once an aristocratic pursuit, forbidden to lower social classes. More recently, informal hare coursing became a lower class activity and was conducted without the landowner's permission; it is also now illegal. In Scotland concerns have been raised over the increasing numbers of hares shot under license.

text: Hare is traditionally cooked by jugging: a whole hare is cut into pieces, marinated and cooked slowly with red wine and juniper berries in a tall jug that stands in a pan of water. It is traditionally served with (or briefly cooked with) the hare's blood and port wine. Hare can also be cooked in a casserole. The meat is darker and more strongly flavoured than that of rabbits. Young hares can be roasted; the meat of older hares becomes too tough for roasting, and may be slow-cooked.


title: European hare

text: The European hare has a wide range across Europe and western Asia and has been introduced to a number of other countries around the globe, often as a game species. In general it is considered moderately abundant in its native range, but declines in populations have been noted in many areas since the 1960s. These have been associated with the intensification of agricultural practices. The hare is an adaptable species and can move into new habitats, but it thrives best when there is an availability of a wide variety of weeds and other herbs to supplement its main diet of grasses. The hare is considered a pest in some areas; it is more likely to damage crops and young trees in winter when there are not enough alternative foodstuffs available.


title: European hare

text: The International Union for Conservation of Nature has evaluated the European hare's conservation status as being of least concern. However, at low population densities, hares are vulnerable to local extinctions as the available gene pool declines, making inbreeding more likely. This is the case in northern Spain and in Greece, where the restocking by hares brought from outside the region has been identified as a threat to regional gene pools. To counteract this, a captive breeding program has been implemented in Spain, and the relocation of some individuals from one location to another has increased genetic variety. The Bern Convention lists the hare under Appendix III as a protected species. Several countries, including Norway, Germany, Austria and Switzerland, have placed the species on their Red Lists as "near threatened" or "threatened".

title: Eight Immortals Restaurant murders

text: The Eight Immortals Restaurant murders, also known as the Eight Immortals murders or the Chinese Pork Bun murders, were an incident in which Chinese gambler Huang Zhiheng murdered a family of 10 in the Eight Immortals Restaurant. Huang purportedly commited these murders due to a gambling dispute.


title: Eight Immortals Restaurant murders

text: The Eight Immortals Restaurant was a Chinese restaurant in the Portuguese colony of Macau, in the section of Nossa Senhora de Fátima parish. The modest eating establishment was connected to the Eight Immortals Hotel. The restaurant was owned and operated by Zheng Lin (鄭林), a former street hawker who moved his business from a stand into a formal restaurant in the 1960s. He lived near his restaurant with his family, who helped him run his business. The restaurant was a financial success, but Zheng and his wife were noted to be heavy gamblers.


title: Eight Immortals Restaurant murders

text: Huang Zhiheng (, sometimes spelled Huang Chih-heng, original name Chen Shuliang, 陳梓梁) was born on the Chinese mainland before emigrating to Hong Kong in the 1970s. He went by various names during his life, going by Chen Shuliang or Chen Yuliang when in Hong Kong. In 1973, Huang murdered a man over a debt at his victim's home in Quarry Bay, Hong Kong and fled Hong Kong for Guangzhou. While in Guangzhou, Huang burned his fingerprints in an attempt to avoid being linked to the murder. After living in Guangzhou for several years, Huang married the daughter of his landlord, named Ms. Li. The woman's family disapproved of the marriage, so the couple eloped, fleeing to Macau after Huang burned off his fingertips to avoid being connected to the murder he committed in Hong Kong. In Macau, Huang became involved in the local gambling scene, becoming acquainted with the Zhengs in the process. Huang was around 50 years old at the time.


title: Eight Immortals Restaurant murders

text: During one evening of gambling in 1984, Huang and Zheng Lin became involved in a series of high stakes bets against each other. In the end Huang won 180,000 patacas (or US$20,000) from Zheng and his wife. The Zhengs were unable to pay the debt, so a verbal agreement was made that the Zheng family would cede their restaurant's mortgage to Huang if the debt was not repaid within one year. Huang agreed. The family remained indebted to Huang after this year. Huang would later claim that not only had the family failed to repay him, but continued to lose money to him. He claimed they owed him, in total, 600,000 patacas (or $75,047).


title: Eight Immortals Restaurant murders

text: The Eight Immortals murders took place on the night of 4 August 1985. Nine members of the Zheng family were busy inside the restaurant, having closed the establishment earlier that evening. The Zhengs were last seen alive by a delivery truck driver late in the afternoon. In the evening, Huang entered the Eight Immortals Restaurant and demanded that the Zhengs pay him 30,000 patacas (he later claimed that he dropped his demand to 20,000 patacas) of the debt they owed him. He grew increasingly agitated when Zheng Lin refused to turn over ownership of the restaurant. Eventually, Huang became physically aggressive towards the Zhengs, using a broken bottle that remained as a weapon. He took Zheng Lin's son hostage and forced the other members of the family to bind and gag each other while holding his weapon to the son's neck. Huang reports that one family member broke free and started to scream, causing him to stab her in the neck with his weapon. He then proceeded to kill nine members of the Zheng family, either by strangulation or with the broken bottle. He then briefly left the restaurant to lure one of Zheng's sisters to the restaurant, where he then killed her. He dismembered the bodies over the course of eight hours and wrapped them in black plastic trash bags, which he then dumped into the ocean or threw into dumpsters. Afterwards, he cleaned the restaurant, recovered some money and a safe key from Zheng Lin's corpse and left the restaurant, spending the night at Zheng's nearby residence.


title: Eight Immortals Restaurant murders

text: The next morning a delivery truck driver (the same one who had delivered goods to the Zheng family the previous afternoon) found the restaurant locked with a note on the door stating that the restaurant was closed for three days. He visited the Zheng family home, where Huang answered the door, telling the delivery man that the Zheng family had left on a trip to the mainland. On 8 August 1985, a swimmer found eight pieces of human limbs in Hac Sa (黑沙, also called Santa Grace, 圣诞老人格雷斯) beach. It was originally theorised that a group of illegal immigrants from Mainland China, had their refugee boat capsized, and were eaten by sharks, but an examination of the limbs revealed that precise cuts had been used to sever them. This finding prompted a police investigation and a search for potential missing people. Over the next few days, forensics determined that the limbs belonged to at least four separate people. A further three body parts were found on Macau's beaches over the following week. These findings generated significant interest in the press, and several theories were raised as to what had happened.


title: Eight Immortals Restaurant murders

text: Eventually, the Macau police were able to discover that the severed limbs belonged to the Zheng family, who were reported missing by relatives. In the meantime, Huang had reopened and continued to operate the Eight Immortals Restaurant; this was considered unusual but not unwarranted as he was known to associate with the Zheng family and was in possession of the restaurant's ownership documents. He also began collecting rent from the Zheng family's former home. However, Macau police grew suspicious of Huang's activities and began investigating him. When they searched his bank holdings, they found documents belonging to Zheng Lin and student ID cards belonging to the missing Zheng children. Huang attempted to flee Macau for the Chinese mainland, but he was caught and arrested on 28 September 1986. He was charged with the murder of all ten members of the Zheng family, and was convicted on 2 October 1986. Huang's arrest and the press documentation that he had been operating a restaurant for months after dismembering the eatery's former owners, as well as reopening the restaurant three days after committing the crime resulted in the urban legend that he had baked his victims into pork buns. The last body parts traceable to the Eight Immortals murders were found in a trash dump in 1989.


title: Eight Immortals Restaurant murders

text: Huang was attacked in prison by another inmate the day after his conviction. He was sent to a hospital to convalesce, where he attempted to escape without success. On 6 October, he confessed and detailed to investigators how he had killed the Zheng family. He attempted suicide twice, the second time fatally, on 4 December 1986 by slicing his wrists with a bottle cap. He left a suicide note and a letter to a local newspaper explaining his actions, stating in his note that his suicide was not due to his crimes but rather to escape his chronic asthma. After his death, what was left of his fingerprints linked him to the 1973 murder of a Hong Kong man.


title: Eight Immortals Restaurant murders

text: The recovered remains of the Zheng family were later cremated, and the ashes scattered off the coast of Macau by relatives.


title: Eight Immortals Restaurant murders

text: After Huang's arrest, the restaurant was immediately closed and seized by the Macau police. It was resold by early 1987 and has seen different owners in recent years. Today, the former restaurant and the apartments above it are part of Baxian Hotel.


title: Eight Immortals Restaurant murders

text: The events surrounding the Eight Immortals murders were depicted in the 1993 Hong Kong movie "The Untold Story" featuring Anthony Wong. The film featured a fictionalized version of the murder of the Zheng family, and notably played upon the rumors that cannibalism had occurred after the murders. In China, the film was also released under the names "The Human Pork Bun" and "Human Meat Roast Pork Buns".

title: Reeves Gabrels

text: Reeves Gabrels (born June 4, 1956) is an American guitarist, songwriter and record producer. A member and guitarist of British band the Cure since 2012, Gabrels worked with David Bowie from 1987 to 1999, and was a member of the band Tin Machine. He has lived in New York, Boston, London, Los Angeles, Nashville, and New York's Hudson Valley. His Nashville-based band since 2007, Reeves Gabrels & His Imaginary Friends, features Gabrels on guitar and vocals.


title: Reeves Gabrels

text: As a guitarist, Gabrels is recognized for his virtuosity and versatility, able to "explore sonic extremes with a great, adaptive intuition for what each song needs most." He has been characterized as "one of the most daring rock-guitar improvisers since Jimi Hendrix".


title: Reeves Gabrels

text: As a songwriter and composer, Gabrels spans genres. The songs on "Ulysses", an album from 2000, range from "hard-hitting blues rock to 21st-century electronica", as "Guitar World" put it.


title: Reeves Gabrels

text: Describing "Rockonica", in 2005 "Guitar Player"s Andy Ellis wrote, Gabrels walks the line between song structure and wiggy sonics like no one else... His tunes on "Rockonica" have familiar verse/chorus construction (and are often maddeningly catchy), and his riffs and solos typically possess the contours that define classic rock. But bubbling and roiling under and around this foundation are layers of eerie, broken sounds and oddball textures. And Gabrels isn't shy about juxtaposing genres. For example, "Underneath" ends with a trippy mélange of Wheels of Fire-era Clapton licks, acoustic Delta blues riffs, and fluttering, guitar-generated helicopter sounds.


title: Reeves Gabrels

text: Reeves Gabrels was born in Staten Island, New York City, New York in June 1956. His mother, Claire, was a typist, and his father, Carl Winston Gabrels, worked as a deckhand on tugboats in New York Harbor.


title: Reeves Gabrels

text: Reeves started playing guitar at age 13, and the following year (1971) his father arranged for lessons with the father's friend and contemporary Turk Van Lake, who lived in the neighborhood. Van Lake was a professional musician who had played with Benny Goodman and others.


title: Reeves Gabrels

text: After high school, Gabrels attended the Parsons School of Design and the School of Visual Arts in New York City and continued to play guitar. He met jazz guitarist John Scofield, from whom he took several lessons. Encouraged by Scofield's example and advice, Gabrels moved to Boston to attend the Berklee School of Music. He left without a degree in 1981, valuing nonetheless his experience at Berklee.<ref name="Berklee.edu/News online"></ref>


title: Reeves Gabrels

text: Gabrels began his musical career in earnest in Boston, building on performance experience starting in high school. During the 1980s and early 1990s he was a member of bands including The Dark, Life on Earth, The Atom Said, Rubber Rodeo, The Bentmen and Modern Farmer. Modern Farmer (Gabrels, Jamie Rubin, David Hull, and Billy Beard) issued an album of original rock songs, "Hard Row to Hoe," on Victory/Universal in 1993.


title: Reeves Gabrels

text: David Bowie and Gabrels met in 1987 during a Bowie tour for which Sara Terry, Gabrels' then-wife, worked as a publicist. The first project on which Gabrels worked with Bowie was a re-imagining and rearrangement of the song "Look Back in Anger" and its live performance combining dance, music and projection as part of a benefit for London's Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA) in 1988. The resulting score was minutes long, whereas the song originally ran three minutes as written by Bowie and Brian Eno and recorded on "Lodger" (1979). Bowie sang, played and danced with members of the avant-garde troupe La La La Human Steps; Gabrels and two other musicians played onstage throughout. "We went into the studio to rearrange it," said Bowie in a filmed interview; "I like the hard-edged wall of guitar sound that we put into it."


title: Reeves Gabrels

text: Gabrels subsequently (1989–1992) joined forces with Bowie and the Sales brothers (drummer Hunt Sales and bass player Tony Sales) in the rock band Tin Machine. Gabrels carried on working with Bowie, becoming an essential part of Bowie's nineties sound, most notably on "Outside" (1995), "Earthling" (1997), and "Hours" (1999), the latter two of which he co-produced. "Dead Man Walking," a Bowie/Gabrels song from "Earthling", was nominated for a Grammy award. Gabrels and Bowie also created the soundtrack to the computer game "" in 1999 for the game's French publisher. Gabrels ended his professional association with Bowie in late 1999. His last stage appearance with Bowie was a performance recorded in New York City for VH1 Storytellers.


title: Reeves Gabrels

text: Robert Smith of the Cure and Reeves Gabrels first met during rehearsals for Bowie's 50th Birthday Concert held on January 9, 1997, at Madison Square Garden in New York. Bowie had invited Smith to sing as one of a select group of guest performers at this event, for which Gabrels served as musical director. A friendship ensued, leading to further collaborations within the year. Gabrels and Smith co-wrote a song, "Yesterday's Gone" and recorded it, with Smith guesting on vocals, for the Reeves Gabrels album "Ulysses (Della Notte)". Gabrels recorded lead guitar as a guest on the Cure's single "Wrong Number" and he also appeared on stage with the Cure for several songs ("Wrong Number" included) on selected nights of a fall U.S. tour in 1997. Further, Gabrels, Smith and the Cure's drummer Jason Cooper (as COGASM) wrote and recorded "Sign From God" for Orgazmo, a film directed by Trey Parker.


title: Reeves Gabrels

text: Smith and Gabrels stayed in touch, leading some 15 years later to a phone conversation that brought Gabrels on board as guitarist for the Cure, initially as a guest for a run of summer festivals in 2012, after which he became a member of the band. Gabrels was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in March 2019 as a member of the Cure, having initially been left off the list of nine current and former members.


title: Reeves Gabrels

text: For his own band, Reeves Gabrels & His Imaginary Friends, Gabrels is the vocalist, guitarist, and principal songwriter.


title: Reeves Gabrels

text: The band came together as a trio in Nashville in 2007, about a year after Gabrels moved from Los Angeles. The main players for seven years were Gabrels (guitar, vocals) with Kevin Hornback (bass) and Jeff Brown (drums). In 2015, drummer Marc Pisapia, who had substituted when schedule conflicts arose for Brown, became the principal drummer (and harmony vocalist).


title: Reeves Gabrels

text: Gabrels and band performed often at Nashville's Family Wash venue and toured regionally, including a ten-gig outing on a shoestring in 2009 about which the guitarist blogged for an Internet forum run by Guitar Player magazine.


title: Reeves Gabrels

text: In 2010 without any real plan, Reeves Gabrels and His Imaginary Friends began recording songs they'd worked out through performance, even though mixing, mastering, manufacture and release were beyond their means at the time. Then Gabrels joined The Cure, which helped with budget but complicated schedules. In a 2014 interview with the British magazine "Guitarist" (Nov 2014), Gabrels described the recording process and the unexpected ways the hiatus before release had contributed to the creative process. The album finally came out in January 2015.


title: Reeves Gabrels

text: Meanwhile, the trio of Gabrels, Hornback and Brown played small venues and pubs in England during October 2014. They toured the U.S. in the summer of 2015, now with Pisapia on drums and new CDs in hand, then made a second tour of England in the fall, marking the occasion with a digital-download-only single titled "Try" released exclusively on Bandcamp. A final U.S. show in 2015 in Nashville was recorded and resulted in an album, "Imaginary Friends Live," released two years later. The trio took a break in 2016 while the Cure were on a world tour, then picked up again with three U.S. outings in July 2017, October 2017 and March 2018.


title: Reeves Gabrels

text: Gabrels has produced six albums as principal songwriter, vocalist, guitarist and bandleader. As Reeves Gabrels, he released "The Sacred Squall of Now" (Rounder/Upstart, 1995); "Ulysses (Della Notte)" (Emagine, 2000); "live...late...loud" (Myth Music, 2003); and "Rockonica" (Myth Music/Favored Nations/Sony, 2005). "Ulysses" was nominated for a Yahoo! Internet Award in 1999 as a then-pathbreaking Internet release, before becoming available the following year on CD. One "Ulysses" song, "Jewel," features vocal and instrumental performances by Bowie, Dave Grohl and Frank Black. Gabrels made both "Rockonica" and "live...late...loud" in Los Angeles with musical friends there including Paul Ill (bass), Brock Avery (drums) and Greg McMullen (pedal steel guitar).


title: Reeves Gabrels

text: A fifth album, with "Reeves Gabrels & His Imaginary Friends" as artist name and title, came out digitally in January 2015 at Bandcamp and on CD (plus more digital distributors) on Friday, July 17, 2015. Reeves Gabrels & Rob Stennett were co-producers. The songs include originals and covers, with Gabrels singing, playing guitar and leading the band, a power trio with Kevin Hornback on bass and Jeff Brown on drums. Guest musicians also appear, including the band's current drummer Marc Pisapia singing background vocals. "Reeves Gabrels & His Imaginary Friends" received a first print review in the American monthly "Vintage Guitar" (June 2015).


title: Reeves Gabrels

text: "Imaginary Friends Live," Gabrels' sixth album, came out on Bandcamp on October 1, 2017, and remains a download-only release. It was recorded on a single night during a live performance in December 2015 at The Family Wash/Garage Coffee's relocated premises on Main Street in East Nashville, Tennessee. The live album was cited as one of 13 "Top Records of 2017" by Michael Ross in Guitar Moderne. It was also picked for the "Best Music of 2017" by the editors of "Premier Guitar." PG senior editor Ted Drozdowski's description: "Reeves Gabrels, Imaginary Friends Live: In which Gabrels rewrites the rock guitar bible in 11 live performances packed with so much invention it's head spinning. I was at Nashville's Family Wash the night this set was recorded, but it wasn't until I heard it here that my mind was entirely blown by the former Bowie/current Cure axe-destroyer's execution. Every song is packed with 'holy fuck' qualities: epic tones, killer riffs, brilliantly tossed-off fills and digressions, and solos that soothe, stun, and drip with lysergic intelligence. Raw and impeccable at the same time. If you dig rock guitar that straddles the trad and the rad with absolute authority, this is an essential album. No bullshit!"


title: Reeves Gabrels

text: Gabrels has written soundtracks for films including David Sutherland's "The Farmer's Wife" (premiered on PBS September 1998) and for PBS productions, and collaborated with Public Enemy on the song "Go Cat Go" for the Spike Lee film "He Got Game" (soundtrack, Def Jam, 1998). He wrote the "club music" portions of the soundtrack for the video game "Deus Ex".


title: Reeves Gabrels

text: Gabrels from time to time toured as a guitarist in a supporting role, for example in late 1993/early 1994 as guitarist for solo performances by singer Paul Rodgers, and outings in 2009 with New York-based punk band Jeebus.


title: Reeves Gabrels

text: "Galore," a 1998 album by singer-songwriter Jeffrey Gaines features Gabrels on guitar alongside Bowie bandmates Gail Ann Dorsey and Zachary Alford.


title: Reeves Gabrels

text: In Los Angeles from 2000 to 2005, beyond work on his own music live and recorded, Gabrels collaborated with Southern California musicians in varied genres. For the soulful, funky blues-rock of singer and keyboard player Gerard "Gerry" Duran, Gabrels recorded guitar on several albums by the band Los Duran. Gabrels and drummer/producer Big Swede, as a duo dubbed Protecto, put out an electronica album titled "Sonicnauts".


title: Reeves Gabrels

text: Another recording project into which Los Angeles-based drummer Big Swede brought Gabrels was X-World/5, a Heavy metal supergroup made up of guitarist Andy LaRocque, vocalist Nils K. Rue, bass player Magnus Rosén, and Big Swede on drums. They made one album, "New Universal Order", originally put out in 2008 by German label AFM Records. It was re-released by the band/Big Swede in 2015.


title: Reeves Gabrels

text: In Nashville, Tennessee, his home since 2006, Gabrels has played often locally with his own band and others. He was a regular at The Family Wash, an East Nashville restaurant/music venue that closed in 2018 but before that had a long run with wide-ranging music programming thanks to founder Jamie Rubin, Gabrels' longtime friend and associate. When Gabrels first arrived, he became a guitarist for Brandon Giles & the Tricky Two playing bars and clubs on Nashville's Lower Broadway and occasionally on tour. In 2010 and 2011, Gabrels participated in "From Nashville to Norway" festivals in Gjøvik, Norway, organized by friends from both locales. In 2014 he began sitting in when possible with guitarist Tim Carroll at the 5 Spot venue. At the time, Carroll's band included drummer Steve Latanation and the late bass player Bones Hillman (who subsequently returned to working with his longtime band Midnight Oil).


title: Reeves Gabrels

text: Several collaborative recordings grew out of Gabrels' Nashville activities. "The Magnificent Others" features Jamie Rubin's songs and lead vocals, with Gabrels on lead guitar. "Sonic Mining Company", a Ropeadope Records 2012 release, is made up of improvisations by Gabrels (guitar), Frank Howard Swart (bass) and Adam Abrashoff (drums).


title: Reeves Gabrels

text: Gabrels added guitar parts to selected recordings by other musicians over the years, including songs by gODHEAD, by Jed Davis, and by Jenn Vix, a bass player and vocalist from Providence, Rhode Island. Past recordings with Gabrels guitar tracks include albums or singles by The Mission, Deaf School, Sandie Shaw, The Rolling Stones, Ozzy Osbourne and others.


title: Reeves Gabrels

text: In 2021/2022, Gabrels contributed guitars to Big Scenic Nowhere's sophomore album, "The Long Morrow".


title: Reeves Gabrels

text: Gabrels performs periodically with Club d'Elf, a Boston-based instrumental group led by bassist Mike Rivard. Their performances are largely instrumental and emphasize lengthy, improvised songs touching on jazz, Moroccan music, electronic and other genres. Gabrels appears on "Now I Understand," (Accurate Records, 2006), their first studio recording; the album also features John Medeski and Billy Martin, DJ Logic, Mat Maneri, Duke Levine, Alain Mallet, Mister Rourke, and more. Improvising in long form gives Gabrels "the time to meander and harmonically poke at things, make the music interesting," he said in a Berklee College of Music interview in 2012. He went on to explain that free improvisation contributes to his ability in different settings, such as on stage with the Cure, "to refine that down to opportunities where I can hit that one note that throws the world off its axis for two bars," yet to do so fully within the context of the song and its lyrics.


title: Reeves Gabrels

text: American slide guitarist David Tronzo, a fellow participant in Club D'Elf performances, and Gabrels made an instrumental album together, "Night in Amnesia", issued by Rounder Records in 1995. The innovative British guitarist Bill Nelson (Be-Bop Deluxe, Bill Nelson's Red Noise) and Gabrels together released a quite different experimental guitar-duo album, "Fantastic Guitars", independently in 2014.

text: In 2008, Gabrels began playing Reverend guitars, designed by Reverend Musical Instruments, now of Toledo, Ohio. Gabrels and Reverend have since collaborated to develop a series of Reverend Reeves Gabrels signature model guitars. The first featured at the winter 2010 NAMM Show in Anaheim, California. An update, the Reverend Reeves Gabrels II (RG2) was released at NAMM in Nashville in 2012.

text: Susan Van Wie Kastan and Gabrels married in January 2018 in Saratoga Springs, New York. Acquainted since 1998 and boyfriend and girlfriend since both moved to Nashville, Tennessee, in 2006, they now reside in Troy, New York, where her family has roots and they are near the Catskills where he attended high school. Susan Gabrels serves as business manager for her husband and his band Reeves Gabrels & His Imaginary Friends. Both spouses were previously married and divorced. Gabrels had married Sara Terry, an American journalist, in 1985. It was through Terry's work as a press agent for the Glass Spider Tour in 1987 that Gabrels originally became friends with Bowie.


title: Alice Merton

text: Alice Florence Clarissa Merton (born 13 September 1993) is a German-Canadian singer and songwriter. Merton achieved mainstream success with her debut single, "No Roots". In 2017, she released her first EP of the same name and in 2018, she released her debut album "Mint" and in 2022, her second album,"S.I.D.E.S." was released.


title: Alice Merton

text: Merton was born on 13 September 1993 in Frankfurt, Germany to a German mother and an Irish-born father. Merton's family moved frequently due to her father's job as a mining consultant. When she was three months old, Merton moved to Connecticut. Shortly thereafter, they relocated to Oakville, Ontario, Canada where she was raised until the age of thirteen, learning classical piano and singing. Her family then relocated to Munich. Merton's return to Germany prompted her to learn German which enabled her to speak with her German grandmother whom she had only seen annually growing up. While in Germany, Merton wrote her first song and attended a German-language high school before graduating and moving to England.


title: Alice Merton

text: Merton moved frequently in her early life, living in Oakville, Ontario, Connecticut, New York, Munich, Bournemouth, London, and Berlin, among other cities. Through her upbringing, Merton has stated she has felt connected to Canada, England, Germany, and France where her mother lived. In 2013, she started her studies at the Popakademie Baden-Württemberg in Mannheim, where she earned a bachelor's degree in composition and song writing, and met the members of her future band.


title: Alice Merton

text: Merton first drew major attention in 2015 as a songwriter and singer on Fahrenhaidt's album "The Book of Nature". On 14 November 2016 while in Hamburg, she won the annual award for the promotion of talented newcomers in the category "Acoustic Pop".


title: Alice Merton

text: After moving to Berlin, Merton and her manager Paul Grauwinkel founded the record label Paper Plane Records International, and released the song "No Roots" at the end of 2016. The song's lyrics were inspired by her feeling of "There's no one place where my home is." On both Hype Machine and Spotify's "Global Viral 50" charts the song reached number one, and was soon included on the "Hit Play" lists of several radio stations. The song was also featured on episode 5x09 of the NBC TV series, "The Blacklist".


title: Alice Merton

text: On the basis of this success, Merton officially released her first EP, "No Roots", on 3 February 2017. "No Roots" reached number one on the French charts, number two on the German charts, number three in Austria, number 25 in Switzerland and number one in US alternative radio charts. Vodafone Germany even included the song in one of its commercials. Merton signed with Mom + Pop Music in August 2017 for marketing within the United States, and on 2 August 2017 she released her second single "Hit the Ground Running" with her new record label.


title: Alice Merton

text: She performed at the Life Ball in Vienna on 10 June 2017, and ended the year touring throughout Germany, appearing as opening act for Bosse and Philipp Poisel, among others. In late 2017 she won the 2018 European Border Breakers Award.

title: My Little Pony (TV series)

text: My Little Pony is a 1986–1987 American animated television series produced by Sunbow Productions and Marvel Productions and animated by Toei Animation and AKOM based on the My Little Pony toys released by Hasbro. The series featured as the first segment of a program called My Little Pony 'n Friends. The second segment would be an unrelated cartoon based on another Hasbro franchise – including "The Glo Friends", "MoonDreamers" and the "Potato Head Kids". The series debuted on September 15, 1986, nearly three months after the release of "" (which had introduced the Paradise Estate and many of the series' main characters), and ended on September 25, 1987. Two previous television specials were edited into segments of "My Little Pony 'n Friends": "Rescue at Midnight Castle" and "Escape from Catrina". The complete series of My Little Pony segments has been released on DVD in Regions 1 and 4. Other sections have been released on DVD such as "My Little Pony: The Glo Friends" as of 2013.


title: My Little Pony (TV series)

text: Ponyland is a mystical land, home to all kinds of magical creatures. The Little Ponies make their home in Paradise Estate, living a peaceful life filled with song and games. However, not all of the creatures of Ponyland are so peaceful, and the Ponies often find themselves having to fight for survival against witches, trolls, goblins and all the other beasts that would love to see the Little Ponies destroyed, enslaved or otherwise harmed.


title: Crazy Nights

text: Crazy Nights is the fourteenth studio album by American rock band Kiss, recorded from March to June 1987 and released on September 21, 1987, by Mercury worldwide and Vertigo in the UK. This was the second album to feature the line-up of Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Bruce Kulick, and Eric Carr. The album is notable for featuring heavy use of pop-metal keyboards and synthesizers. It was re-released in 1998 as part of the Kiss Remasters series and is the last Kiss album to have been remastered.


title: Crazy Nights

text: A relatively high number of songs from "Crazy Nights" were performed live during its supporting tour, but during and especially immediately following the tour, most of those songs were dropped and were never performed again. Only the song "Crazy Crazy Nights" was retained in their setlist for the "Hot in the Shade Tour" which followed a couple of years later; it was dropped after that tour and would not return for nearly 20 years until the "Sonic Boom Over Europe Tour". This makes the album one of the least represented in the bands' entire catalog throughout their career in their setlists, behind only "Music From "The Elder"" and "".


title: Crazy Nights

text: Kiss took a different approach in creating "Crazy Nights", to turn around their image after they had a downfall in their music career due to experimentation of the band's music genre and the loss of two prime members. The band had a lot to prove after their decline of success. Since the time of recording "Asylum", Kiss were also under new management representation with Larry Mazur, a consultant.


title: Crazy Nights

text: After the "Asylum Tour" had ended, Kiss went on a couple of months hiatus due to Gene Simmons' career as an actor and a producer, which made the band seem like his side job instead of his primary job. For "Kisstory", Paul Stanley stated that he got tired of Simmons's lack of commitment and one day told him:


title: Crazy Nights

text: We were in the parking lot one day, and I said to Gene, 'Look, you're off doing all these other things while still reaping the benefits of this band—and I'm getting screwed. It's not fair for me to put in this kind of time, while somebody else who is supposed to be my partner, is not.' And Gene looked at me and said,'That's fair.' I could have used Gene's input. But my attitude at that point was that I certainly wasn't going to listen to a guy who's off managing cabaret singers and producing five bands, while I was trying to make an album.


title: Crazy Nights

text: Simmons' temporary departure gave space to Eric Carr and Bruce Kulick. Kulick had four co-writing credits and Carr one, but almost got other material on the album. Stanley had worked with Desmond Child, Diane Warren and Adam Mitchell and co-wrote songs: "Crazy Crazy Nights", "I'll Fight Hell to Hold You" and "When Your Walls Come Down" with Mitchell ("I'll Fight Hell to Hold You" and "When Your Walls Come Down" with Kulick), "Bang Bang You", "My Way" and "Reason to Live" with Child ("My Way" with Bruce Turgon also), and "Turn On the Night" was co-written by Stanley and Warren.


title: Crazy Nights

text: As Kiss' previous two albums had been self-produced, the band felt it needed to bring in an outside producer who would help the album achieve more commercial success. Producer Ron Nevison was hired to produce the album, but because of Nevison's filled schedule, the band had to wait for his schedule to clear. Nevison was chosen in part from his recent commercial success in producing platinum albums for Heart and Ozzy Osbourne. Simmons said for "KISStory", "When we started working on "Crazy Nights", we looked for someone else to pull the cart, another person to help guide the band... So we hooked up with a producer named Ron Nevison, who[m] Paul had wanted to work with for a while, although I never did." In the "Crazy Nights, it's 25 years strong" KissFAQ interview, Nevison describes the efforts band members put into the album: “Well, this was the only album I did with them. I do know that Gene wasn’t there all the time. Obviously, Bruce was and, to some extent, Eric. Mostly, a majority of the work on that album I did with Bruce and Paul. The bass tracks were cut initially, and Gene was only needed for lead vocals. I must say that most of the time he was there, he was in the back of the studio reading "Variety"." Although Simmons' participation was low for the album, he did contribute in providing Nevison with 20–25 songs that were potential material for the album, including one song called "I'm Going to Put a Log in Your Fire Place", which was ultimately not used on this or any subsequent albums.


title: Crazy Nights

text: The album was at first called "Who Dares Wins", which was Carr's idea. According to him, "During a photo session, our wardrobe girl had this commando patch lying around with 'Who Dares Wins' on it, and I said, 'Hey, what a great idea for an album title!' Then she brought it over to Paul who said the same thing. We ended up not using it because it didn't look good in print, and it sounded as if no one would understand it." The idea was dropped in June but managed to appear on some Japanese advertisements for the upcoming album. Another title the band thought of was "Condemnation", but as Stanley said, "Well, 'Condemnation' was never really the title. It was just a thought that passed through our minds and gave everyone a chuckle." The recording sessions started in March at One on One Recording Studios in Canoga Park, California, but later continued at Rumbo Recorders, also in Canoga Park, and Can-Am Recorders in Tarzana, California. In June the album was completed, and it was mixed at Can-Am Recorders by Nevison, before being turned over to PolyGram in July.


title: Crazy Nights

text: In his 2014 biography "Face the Music", Stanley claims that Carr had stopped speaking to him during the tour for "Crazy Nights". Stanley eventually sat down with Carr and insisted that the "non-communicative bullshit" had to end, which it did. Stanley claimed that Carr had started to drink more and may have been doing drugs by the late 1980s, which may have been causing his unhappiness. Stanley also claimed that Carr had started to obsess over not being the original drummer for Kiss, which he said Carr also did during the 1980 Australia tour.


title: Crazy Nights

text: "Crazy Crazy Nights" was the first single from the album and reached No. 65 on "Billboard" Hot 100 and No. 37 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks. The song was a massive hit in the UK where it reached No. 4 and, to date, is Kiss' joint highest-charting single in the UK along with "God Gave Rock 'n' Roll to You II". "Crazy Crazy Nights" also went into the Top 40 in Norway, the Netherlands and Australia.


title: Crazy Nights

text: "No, No, No", was originally titled "Assume the Position" and later "Down on All Fours". It was based on Kulick's riff which was originally engineered and mixed by Bruce's long time friend NYC Record Plant engineer Ira Hoch in Ira's home studio. The tracks consisted of a stereo drum mix lifted from a prior KISS album (originally played by Eric Carr), otherwise Bruce plays bass and all guitars with Ira doing the recording and stereo bounce from a 4 track Tascam 244 to a Teac 1/4" stereo reel to reel and back to the Tascam 244 to allow for the recording of two more guitar parts. The demo was then given to Gene Simmons, who wrote the lyrics. The song was released as the "B" side of the first single "Crazy Crazy Nights". It is Kulick's favorite song because "It's the fastest, ferocious thing, and it features me a lot."


title: Crazy Nights

text: "Hell or High Water" is a song based on Kulick's idea and riff which he came up with during the Asylum Tour; Simmons wrote the lyrics.


title: Crazy Nights

text: "When Your Walls Come Down" is another song based on Kulick's riff that he came up with during the Asylum Tour. Stanley had the chorus and with Mitchell's assistance, the song was finished.


title: Crazy Nights

text: Stanley recalled when he played the "Reason to Live" demo to Simmons, "I remember calling up Gene and playing it to him down the phone... I played the song to Gene, and obviously, the bomb had gone off at the other end. He was speechless." Stanley was always okay with having power ballads on Kiss albums, which first started with "I Still Love You" on "Creatures of the Night". Stanley also said, "If a band was, to be honest, they would tell you that at that time, the only hope for airplay was a ballad." A music video, directed by Marty Callner, was made and featured "Playboy" centerfold, Eloise Broady. "Reason to Live" reached No. 64 "Billboard" Hot 100, No. 34 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks and No. 33 in the UK. The song also managed to chart in the Netherlands, reaching No. 89. The music video for the song was a big hit on MTV in early 1988, regularly appearing as the top requested video on "Dial MTV".


title: Crazy Nights

text: "Good Girl Gone Bad" was written by Simmons, friend Davitt Sigerson, and his songwriting partner Peter Diggins, whom Simmons never met. The song was lyrically based on something obvious from Simmons's community college period: "A young lady who Gene went to college with, a girl who started out the demure virgin, all coy and unclaimed...then met up with 'The Tongue'! The only sad thing about the tale is that when she finally did give way, it was in the backseat of a car—and with someone else, a friend of Gene's, in fact."


title: Crazy Nights

text: "Turn On the Night" was the third single off the album. A music video directed by Marty Callner was made in Worcester, Massachusetts on January 27, 1988. "Turn On the Night" only charted in the UK, where it reached No. 41.


title: Crazy Nights

text: A few other songs were recorded for the album, but not included. Kulick, Child and Stanley wrote a song called "Sword and Stone" that did not manage to get on the album because Nevison was not thrilled with the song. Kulick later stated, "I just felt really bad that Ron Nevison didn't like the song 'cause then it would have been on "Crazy Nights". But I couldn't control that. And the demo that is out there in bootleg form is pretty good. We did it at Electric Lady with Eric Carr, and it's a full-blown KISS track practically. I actually came up with that riff backstage on tour early on, "Asylum", I think. That's what happens. Paul didn't mind as much; I felt pretty bad about that." The song was offered to Canadian rock band Loverboy, and was re-recorded by their lead guitarist Paul Dean on his 1988 album "Hard Core". The song was also recorded by German heavy metal band Bonfire for a Wes Craven movie, "Shocker".


title: Crazy Nights

text: Carr, Simmons and Mitchell wrote, "Dial 'L' for Love". Carr, who sang the song, was the primary writer, and he later passed it to Simmons and Mitchell who completed it. As Carr stated, "The song wasn't good at the time, so it didn't get on the album." A demo was made, but it did not include completed vocals. An instrumental recording of "Dial 'L' for Love" would be released on "Unfinished Business" in 2011.


title: Crazy Nights

text: "Are You Always This Hot" is a song written by Simmons and Mitchell and is unique because it has not yet been found in collector's circles nor re-recorded by another artist. In the 1980s, Simmons had the ritual of making new songs that are based on some older songs, or simply spoken, he recycled them. And "Are You Always This Hot" is one of them. It was first written by Mitchell in 1981. The song "Time Traveler" was recorded during these sessions and later released on the 2001 "KISS Box Set". Some other songs that were written for the album, but never made it, are "Boomerang", "'X' Marks the Spot", "Scratch and Sniff", "What Goes Up", "Hunger for Love", "Dirty Blonde" and "No Mercy", although "Boomerang" would be later featured on "Hot in the Shade".


title: Crazy Nights

text: "While their melodies continue to be quarried from stone, their lyrics are written in lipstick," wrote Emily Fraser in a three-star "Q" review. "The riffs often have purpose and force and, in the cases of 'No No No' and 'Thief in the Night', a keen, cutting edge." "Not aesthetically wonderful," observed Fred Dellar in "Hi-Fi News & Record Review", "but I wish I had shares in it."


title: Crazy Nights

text: "Crazy Nights" peaked at No. 18 on the US "Billboard" 200 chart, making it the highest-charting Kiss album of the 1980s in the US. It was certified platinum on November 18, 1987, in Canada and a few months later in the US, on February 18, 1988. All three singles off the album had corresponding videos that received heavy rotation on MTV, and were also featured on the Crazy Nights home video. The most successful single was "Crazy Crazy Nights", charting in five countries, and the least successful was "Turn On the Night", charting only in the UK.


title: Crazy Nights

text: The album was very well received by executives at Polygram Records. It was widely reported that during a meeting in which the album was played for them in full, the entire conference room reportedly stood and applauded for a full five minutes afterward. The excitement was enough for the corporate team to promote the album well past platinum status, cementing its reputation as one of the benchmarks of 1980's corporate rock.


title: Harshal Patel

text: Harshal Patel (born 23 November 1990) is an Indian international cricketer who plays for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Indian Premier League. He is the captain of Haryana in the Ranji Trophy. He is considered as one of the best death bowlers in the IPL. He made his international debut for the Indian cricket team on 19 November, 2021.


title: Harshal Patel

text: A right-arm seamer with an effective slower ball, Patel took 23 wickets at an impressive average of in the 2008-09 Under-19 Vinoo Mankad Trophy. He later made his one-day debut for Gujarat in 2009–10. Harshal's family had planned to move to USA, but his brother Tapan Patel saw to it that he stayed on in India for the sake of his cricket. Harshal was named in the squad for the 2010 U-19 World Cup in New Zealand. He was among three players from that squad to bag an IPL contract, with Mumbai Indians. Ignored by the Gujarat selectors for the first-class side, Harshal moved to Haryana and made an immediate impact in his debut Ranji Trophy season in 2011-12, running through Karnataka and Rajasthan with consecutive eight-fors in the quarter-final and semi-final. He was given a contract by the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the 2012 Indian Premier League.


title: Harshal Patel

text: Patel debuted immediately against Delhi and then finally rose to fame when he took a five-for in a flat batting track in Bangalore. He backed up an incisive opening spell and wrapped up the tail by taking 3/9 in this last 4.5 overs.


title: Harshal Patel

text: Patel followed up that performance by taking eight wickets for just 34 runs in the next game against defending champions Rajasthan. The opponents were bowled out for 89 and the day finished even with Haryana at 84/8. He became the first Haryana player since 1991 to catch the selectorial eyes with his performances.


title: Harshal Patel

text: In the 2012 IPL auction, Patel was bought by the Royal Challengers Bangalore. In January 2018, Patel was bought by the Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals) in the 2018 IPL auction. In January 2021, Patel was traded by the Delhi Capitals to the Royal Challengers Bangalore prior to the fourteenth season of IPL.


title: Harshal Patel

text: On 9 April 2021, in the first match of IPL 2021 while playing for the Royal Challengers Bangalore, Patel took 5 wicket-haul (5-27) against the Mumbai Indians. Harshal Patel is first bowler to claim a 5-wicket haul against Mumbai Indians in IPL. This is his best bowling figures in the IPL and he also became the first ever player to take a 5 wicket-haul against the Mumbai Indians in the IPL. His 5 wicket-haul also became the third best bowling figures by an uncapped Indian player in the IPL.


title: Harshal Patel

text: On 25 April 2021, in the same IPL season, Patel bowled the joint most expensive over in history of IPL. While playing against CSK, Patel gave away 37 runs in the 20th over while bowling to Ravindra Jadeja (6, 6, N6, 6, 2, 6, 4).


title: Harshal Patel

text: On 26 September 2021, playing against Mumbai Indians, Patel became the third bowler to take a hat-trick, after Praveen Kumar and Samuel Badree for Royal Challengers Bangalore, taking the wickets of Hardik Pandya, Kieron Pollard and Rahul Chahar, finishing with the figures of 4/17 in 3.1 overs. On 13 October 2021,Harshal was selected among 8 net bowlers for India national cricket team for ICC Men's T20 world cup.


title: Harshal Patel

text: By the end of IPL 2021, Patel ended with 32 wickets, making him the highest Indian wicket taker in a single season and joint-most with Dwayne Bravo.


title: Harshal Patel

text: In November 2021, he was named in India's Twenty20 International (T20I) squad for their series against New Zealand. He made his T20I debut on 19 November 2021, for India against New Zealand. He took two wickets and was named as the player of the match.He also followed with another fruitful two wicket haul to end the series with four scalps in two appearances.

title: Pazuzu Algarad

text: Pazuzu Algarad ( born John Alexander Lawson; August 12, 1978 – October 28, 2015), was an American murderer responsible for the killing of two men. Born as John Alexander Lawson, Pazuzu legally changed his name in 2002 to conform with his satanist beliefs. The surname 'Ilah Algarad' means the lord of the locusts in Arabic. He committed suicide in jail to escape conviction of his crimes. It is still unknown what instrument he used to cut himself, but some believe he bit himself since he had previously filed down his teeth.


title: Pazuzu Algarad

text: In 2012, he was convicted as an accessory after the fact for the shooting death of Joseph Emmrick Chandler, in Dohanna Park near the Yadkin River in 2010. In 2014, he was arrested after skeletal remains were discovered in shallow graves in his backyard. His girlfriend was arrested as well. She was charged and later pled guilty for her role in the deaths.

title: Analysis of algorithms

text: In computer science, the analysis of algorithms is the process of finding the computational complexity of algorithms—the amount of time, storage, or other resources needed to execute them. Usually, this involves determining a function that relates the size of an algorithm's input to the number of steps it takes (its time complexity) or the number of storage locations it uses (its space complexity). An algorithm is said to be efficient when this function's values are small, or grow slowly compared to a growth in the size of the input. Different inputs of the same size may cause the algorithm to have different behavior, so best, worst and average case descriptions might all be of practical interest. When not otherwise specified, the function describing the performance of an algorithm is usually an upper bound, determined from the worst case inputs to the algorithm.


title: Analysis of algorithms

text: The term "analysis of algorithms" was coined by Donald Knuth. Algorithm analysis is an important part of a broader computational complexity theory, which provides theoretical estimates for the resources needed by any algorithm which solves a given computational problem. These estimates provide an insight into reasonable directions of search for efficient algorithms.


title: Analysis of algorithms

text: In theoretical analysis of algorithms it is common to estimate their complexity in the asymptotic sense, i.e., to estimate the complexity function for arbitrarily large input. Big O notation, Big-omega notation and Big-theta notation are used to this end. For instance, binary search is said to run in a number of steps proportional to the logarithm of the size of the sorted list being searched, or in , colloquially "in logarithmic time". Usually asymptotic estimates are used because different implementations of the same algorithm may differ in efficiency. However the efficiencies of any two "reasonable" implementations of a given algorithm are related by a constant multiplicative factor called a "hidden constant".


title: Analysis of algorithms

text: Exact (not asymptotic) measures of efficiency can sometimes be computed but they usually require certain assumptions concerning the particular implementation of the algorithm, called model of computation. A model of computation may be defined in terms of an abstract computer, e.g. Turing machine, and/or by postulating that certain operations are executed in unit time.


title: Analysis of algorithms

text: For example, if the sorted list to which we apply binary search has elements, and we can guarantee that each lookup of an element in the list can be done in unit time, then at most time units are needed to return an answer.


title: Analysis of algorithms

text: Time efficiency estimates depend on what we define to be a step. For the analysis to correspond usefully to the actual run-time, the time required to perform a step must be guaranteed to be bounded above by a constant. One must be careful here; for instance, some analyses count an addition of two numbers as one step. This assumption may not be warranted in certain contexts. For example, if the numbers involved in a computation may be arbitrarily large, the time required by a single addition can no longer be assumed to be constant.


title: Analysis of algorithms

text: The latter is more cumbersome to use, so it's only employed when necessary, for example in the analysis of arbitrary-precision arithmetic algorithms, like those used in cryptography.


title: Analysis of algorithms

text: A key point which is often overlooked is that published lower bounds for problems are often given for a model of computation that is more restricted than the set of operations that you could use in practice and therefore there are algorithms that are faster than what would naively be thought possible.


title: Analysis of algorithms

text: Run-time analysis is a theoretical classification that estimates and anticipates the increase in "running time" (or run-time or execution time) of an algorithm as its "input size" (usually denoted as ) increases. Run-time efficiency is a topic of great interest in computer science: A program can take seconds, hours, or even years to finish executing, depending on which algorithm it implements. While software profiling techniques can be used to measure an algorithm's run-time in practice, they cannot provide timing data for all infinitely many possible inputs; the latter can only be achieved by the theoretical methods of run-time analysis.


title: Analysis of algorithms

text: Since algorithms are platform-independent (i.e. a given algorithm can be implemented in an arbitrary programming language on an arbitrary computer running an arbitrary operating system), there are additional significant drawbacks to using an empirical approach to gauge the comparative performance of a given set of algorithms.


title: Analysis of algorithms

text: Take as an example a program that looks up a specific entry in a sorted list of size "n". Suppose this program were implemented on Computer A, a state-of-the-art machine, using a linear search algorithm, and on Computer B, a much slower machine, using a binary search algorithm. Benchmark testing on the two computers running their respective programs might look something like the following:

text: Based on these metrics, it would be easy to jump to the conclusion that "Computer A" is running an algorithm that is far superior in efficiency to that of "Computer B". However, if the size of the input-list is increased to a sufficient number, that conclusion is dramatically demonstrated to be in error:


title: Analysis of algorithms

text: Computer A, running the linear search program, exhibits a linear growth rate. The program's run-time is directly proportional to its input size. Doubling the input size doubles the run-time, quadrupling the input size quadruples the run-time, and so forth. On the other hand, Computer B, running the binary search program, exhibits a logarithmic growth rate. Quadrupling the input size only increases the run-time by a constant amount (in this example, 50,000 ns). Even though Computer A is ostensibly a faster machine, Computer B will inevitably surpass Computer A in run-time because it's running an algorithm with a much slower growth rate.

text: Informally, an algorithm can be said to exhibit a growth rate on the order of a mathematical function if beyond a certain input size , the function times a positive constant provides an upper bound or limit for the run-time of that algorithm. In other words, for a given input size greater than some and a constant , the run-time of that algorithm will never be larger than . This concept is frequently expressed using Big O notation. For example, since the run-time of insertion sort grows quadratically as its input size increases, insertion sort can be said to be of order .

text: Big O notation is a convenient way to express the worst-case scenario for a given algorithm, although it can also be used to express the average-case — for example, the worst-case scenario for quicksort is , but the average-case run-time is .
