Some of Best E-Commerce Sites
(Source: www.time.com/time/digital/reports/ecommerce/25best.html)

Best Overall Name of Website / Portal Some glimpse over same
  Amazon.com A third of the people who buy online shop at Amazon.com.
  Dell The pioneer of direct computer sales online is selling $30 million worth of gear a day from its website, so it’s obviously doing something right.
  IQVC You might expect the king of TV-based shopping to make a seamless leap to the Internet, having distribution and customer service already in place.
BEST AUCTIONS EBay It isn’t just the never-ending cavalcade of inventory -- 250,000 new items are put up for auction every day here -- that keeps its 5.6 million registered users hooked. EBay figure d out that trust means everything to e-commerce.
OnSale
Part outlet store and part liquidator’s auction, the best feature of the auction half is that it never refers to people who purchase products as "buyers" but rather as & quot;winners."

BEST SHOPPING MySimon The "Simon" character on this shopping bot looks like the kind of doll that would become animated and go homicidal in a horror movie
shopdashonline If you were a corporation, Dash would be your vice president in charge of discounts. When you sign up for Dash, you get rebates from its participating merchants.
BEST GUIDES Productopia Say you’re in the market for a digital camera. Or cookware. Productopia will give you three sets of recommendations based on quality, style and value. Then, once you’ve decided whether you want to be cheap, chic or sensible.
  Esmarts Have you ever gone for a drink after work and, when the bartender asks what kind of Scotch you want, you say, "Just give me the cheap stuff"? If you have, this site’s for you
BEST MOST CUSTOMERFRIENDLY Fogdog This sports-gear and -equipment site gets a good grade for making its big inventory easily accessible.  
  Clinique One expert told me that Avon was the giant of the beauty category, "but check out Clinique. They have very loyal customers," she said. I can see why. This site bonds with you instantly.
  Wine.com
The greatest virtue of Wine.com, formerly Virtual Vineyards, is its user-friendly, easy-to-understand search tool, which makes anyone feel like a wine know-it-all
BEST IDEA FOR A SITE CarsDirect.com Its car-buying process allows you to bypass the dealer entirely. The interface is easy to use. You pick out the car you want, and as you add options like a CD player or side air bags, you see the price go up instantly.
  RocketCash.com
It almost sounds crazy, but it works. Here’s a way for parents to let their credit-cardless children shop online. You can set up an account for your kids and give them lump sums or even allowances. Then the children can make purchases at affiliated merchants without giving out personal information.
MOST CUSTOMER SATISFACTION Disney The Disney name gives this site the closest thing it could have to a captive audience, but it still treats visitors like honored guests.
  DVD Express Most stores carry the same stock of DVDs. But this site appears to have the greatest inventory not just of movies but also of fun paraphernalia such as movie posters and gear with movie e-studio logos
  BEST GIMMICKS Lands' End Already getting high marks from shoppers for its usability, the clothing-seller site upped its game in September when it began offering two new features.
  Garden.com Site designers employ soft green hues and flower-bud images so artfully on this home page, they make your computer seem like the perfectly logical place to start working on a garden.

Big-M Method and Two-Phase Method

Big-M Method The Big-M method of handling instances with artificial  variables is the “commonsense approach”. Essentially, the notion is to make the artificial variables, through their coefficients in the objective function, so costly or unprofitable that any feasible solution to the real problem would be preferred, unless the original instance possessed no feasible solutions at all. But this means that we need to assign, in the objective function, coefficients to the artificial variables that are either very small (maximization problem) or very large (minimization problem); whatever this value,let us call it Big M . In fact, this notion is an old trick in optimization in general; we  simply associate a penalty value with variables that we do not want to be part of an ultimate solution(unless such an outcome is unavoidable). Indeed, the penalty is so costly that unless any of the  respective variables' inclusion is warranted algorithmically, such variables will ...
