(Updates with loans, deposits in third paragraph.)
Oct. 14 (Bloomberg) -- Ecobank Transnational Inc., Africa's largest lender by geographical spread, said profit jumped 55 percent in the nine months through September as loans and deposits increased.
Net income increased to 19.1 billion naira ($119 million) from 12.3 billion naira a year earlier, the company said in a statement published on the website of the Nigerian Stock Exchange today. Gross earnings for the period climbed to 124.4 billion naira from 93.6 billion naira, Ecobank said.
The Lome, Togo-based lender's loans increased 17 percent to 1.17 trillion naira from 1 trillion naira a year earlier. Deposits rose to 1.5 trillion naira from 1.25 trillion naira.
Ecobank's shares declined 1 percent to 11.68 naira at the close of trading in Lagos, Nigeria's commercial capital. The bank's shares have slumped 26 percent this year compared with the Nigerian Stock Exchange All-Share Index's 20 percent decline.

Island Night
Part philosophic dialogue, part poetic reverie, part nature walk, Island Night is an extended meditation on the present – that fleeting moment occurring once-and-one-time-only in time's vast history. Perceptions will grow sharper. Time will be slowed down. Together the group will form a nomadic society which values improvisation, storytelling, and silence. Island Night is a moveable feast that doesn't exclude darkness. Rather, darkness is its starry medium.
This walk holds 8 people.

Click images to embiggen.

Let's say I have two sound files, 3 and 4 seconds each. I'm thinking of looping them against each other and I want to know how long the cycle would be (i.e. for the beginnings of the files to align again). It's fairly straightforward to work out (various approaches available here); it looks like you need the two values in question to be integers.

Here, the two files are 8.24 and 8.5 seconds in length, but the least common multiple (LCM) I need has to be an integer (ruling out fractions of a loop). Finding the LCM when a decimal is involved means moving the decimal point of both values by an equal number of positions such that both values become integers, then performing whatever operation you're using, then moving the decimal in the result back by the same number of positions. Which, in this case, results in 3205 (seconds): 58 minutes and some.

I was hoping for something shorter. As it turns out, though, the ends of both files are such that I can fudge things a little (see the bottom of the first three images above).

 If I put both values into a spreadsheet and string out multiples form each, there's a point at about 4.5 minutes where the two are within .08 of each other.

Good enough.

Made from the same two files as the previous one; here, they're looped simultaneously against each other.

(Note that this one runs longer the the previous ones.)

This uses the files from here and here, arranged straightforwardly (repetitions of one, then the other, then alternating).

And a third.

Each of these three has been built around one looped file. I've been listening to them individually, and the next step is to pair them and listen for each pattern. Then, I'll do the same with all three together.

As you get older, you might want to try stretching time out a bit. Watch / listen to this and make a minute seem longer than it really is.

(No guarantees of satisfaction, though; you don't get that minute back.)

More of these to come as I play with the idea...

Update: I've now posted three, each built around one looped file. I've been listening to them individually, and the next step is to pair them and listen for each pattern. Then, I'll do the same with all three together.

(click image above to embiggen)

As indicated here (in the "update" bit), the answer was to change "0" to "-1". Getting the rest of the transpositions was relatively easy.
Milan Davidovićhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-17490957.post-70630936056801146922014-08-06T07:05:00.000-04:002014-08-06T09:49:43.280-04:00transposition problem

UPDATE: it might be as simple as changing the "0" in the formula to "-1". Stay tuned...

So, as I said as I said before, if I want to transpose this

22 24 14 6 21 16 8 7 2 19 23 30 20 1 9 10 11 17 3 28 26 27 15 25 0 4 13 18 5 29 12

to start on 6, I could use

IF((A1-16)>0,A1-16,A1+15)

to get

6 8 29 21 5 31 23 22 17 3 7 14 4 16 24 25 26 1 18 12 10 11 30 9 15 19 28 2 20 13 27

but I'd have to manually change "31" to "0". I expect that the answer lies in another "IF" statement embedded somewhere (in at least one other place).

I know the work figuring it out will be good for me, but, you know…
Milan Davidovićhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-17490957.post-63689144200687596312014-07-30T21:06:00.000-04:002014-07-30T21:06:10.155-04:00Focus vs weight

The original headline:

David Huynh ID'd as man who fell to his death from Stanley Park's Prospect Point

This seems to violate the the end-focus rule. I haven't been following the story, but I'd guess that it broke before we knew the victim's name. Therefore, following the rule, we'd start with what we know and then add the new information at the end, in the focus point.

Man who fell to his death from Stanley Park's Prospect Point ID'd as David Huynh

That way of doing it, however, seems to put more text before the main verb ("ID'd"), violating the end-weight rule. Therefore, it seems to be a choice of which rule to ignore.

Explanations of end focus and end weight can be found here.
Milan Davidovićhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-17490957.post-19816199893644101192014-07-29T22:15:00.000-04:002014-07-29T22:15:28.223-04:00Another look

Let's go back to this:

6 8 29 21 5 0 23 22 17 3 7 14 4 16 24 25 26 1 18 12 10 11 30 9 15 19 28 2 20 13 27

We can show the numbers making up the twelve-tone row and the remainder as rests like this:

6 8 x x 5 0 x x x 3 7 x 4 x x x x 1 x x 10 11 x 9 x x x 2 x x x

The pattern of rests is

0 2 0 3 0 1 4 2 0 1 3 3

or 4 adjacent pairs of notes (0 rest), 3 groups of 3 rests, 2 of 2 rests, 2 of 1 rest, and 1 of 4 rests.

Looking at the intervals (difference + up or down) between the numbers 0 to 11, we have this:

2u 3d 5d 3u 4u 3d 3d 3d 1u 2d 5u

(the row wraps around so that 1 goes down by 3 to 10)

So, 5 movements of 3, 4 of which are down; 2 movements of 2, one in each direction; 2 of 5, one each way; and 1 each of 1 and 4, both up. In total, 19 down, 15 up.

Whether there's anything interesting about that, I can't yet tell.
Milan Davidovićhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-17490957.post-52212562799657924162014-07-25T00:19:00.000-04:002014-07-29T07:03:02.799-04:00Then again...
First, listen to this again.

I initially thought it would be this (click image to embiggen)

but why not this?

(11 would actually be 4+4+3, but I can't that out of Logic yet)

Update: or, for that matter, this:

(has a bit more symmetry)
Milan Davidovićhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-17490957.post-4953177242760439942014-07-24T07:08:00.001-04:002014-08-06T06:25:06.656-04:00Whisky, meet theatre

To make this, I generated a random sequence of the numbers 0 to 30.

22 24 14 6 21 16 8 7 2 19 23 30 20 1 9 10 11 17 3 28 26 27 15 25 0 4 13 18 5 29 12

I wanted something that started on one of the numbers from 0 to 11; 6 was nearest to the front, so I transposed the row to start on 6 (values exceeding 30 or falling below 0 were wrapped around to the other end of the sequence).

6 8 29 21 5 0 23 22 17 3 7 14 4 16 24 25 26 1 18 12 10 11 30 9 15 19 28 2 20 13 27

The transposition formula is

=IF((A1-16)>0,A1-16,A1+15) (update: oh yeah, this produces "31", which I have to manually change to "0"—I'm still working on that)

(and now that I think of it, this is arbitrary; I could do this again on the remaining values 0 to 11)

I then turned the transposed sequence into a string of sixteenth notes: the values 0 to 11 became the pitch classes C to B, and the rest became, well, rests. Keeping the intervals between pitches to their smallest (e.g. F down to C rather than up), I got this (starting on F#5) (click image to embiggen):

This being what it is, what can we say about it as far as time and harmony go?

In terms of metre, it sounds to me like measures of 4/4, 3/4, and 3/16:

Harmonically, I get hints of f minor and c minor/Major triads (picardy third?); from the high G natural we go down by minor thirds to A# (appearing here as B-flat) (diminished 7th chord). The A to D movement at the end suggests V-I, or the first F# (here as G-flat) and the last A and D suggest a D Major triad (which, admittedly, I get more from looking at the notes then I do from listening to them).

Is there more? (less?)

A short listening exercise: harmonically and time-wise, what (if anything) do you get from this?

Update: my initial thoughts (for what they're worth) here.

Mr Potato Salad Guy

I saw the Matt Bors tweet, didn't get it, but Google led me to something that helped.

I don't know if it's only "a silly thing on the internet" or if I should be reading this as a clue to what we as people are about. Kind of like how we in Toronto elected that guy.

Singin' on the bus

My first reaction was that this is stupid. Then I thought about it more and it now seems like some limit in a donut shop on how long you could stay but that you might never actually see enforced (but then there's this). I could be wrong, but maybe it's not all singing that bugs them, just some.

Supermankid

They seem to have arrived at some resolution on this. When I first heard the story, I thought it kind of sucked but then I wondered whether they were prudently avoiding some precedent. Now I think "good on them" but wonder whether it'll become the thing edge of some wedge. I guess we'll see.

I suppose that if people had really wanted it, they could have just gone out and bought a succession of outfits and kept the statue dressed.

Clogging up the internet

If you ask for quality content but are only willing to pay $1, $2, or $5 for 500 words then you're not going to get quality... You'll just be clogging the internet up with more bad writing. That's something the internet doesn't need.

I think I fairly easily understand the idea of clogging up bandwidth, but this I didn't get at first. Then I thought about it in terms of clogging up search results.

If you ask for quality content…

Beef

Meat consumption today contributes to global warming and environmental degradation. It's estimated that 14.5% of global man-made greenhouse gas emissions come from livestock – which is more than the contribution from all forms of transport.

I saw no links for his numbers, but I saw another source that put global agriculture (the whole thing) and transportion only a percentage point apart (14/13%) and energy at about double (26%).

Work

We talk about people working hard; would you say a border collie works hard?

If you'd say a border collie works hard, would you say a truffle hog works hard?

How would you measure/compare the relative (economic) values of the work done by border collies and truffle hogs?

One has a nose. The nose scents and it chooses. An artist is simply a kind of pig snouting truffles. (Igor Stravinksy, 1962, quoted in Andriessen and Schoenberger, The Apollonian Clockwork (1989). Oxford: Oxford University Press, pg. 205)

Myth

I was poking around looking for something on "echo chamber" as a metaphor, when I came across this:

On a regular basis on Twitter and on blogs and in books I read, people warn about not getting stuck in the echo chamber.

No real-world examples, though.

So, this idea of something being a "myth": how to you tell?

Oligopoly

If you work in an inbound call centre for a Canadian telecommunications service provider, how often in a week do you hear the word "oligopoly" from a customer?

Administrivia

When it comes to adminstrative tasks at work, how do you judge what's important and what isn't? What criteria/tests are you using? Lack of (apparent) consequences when it doesn't get done?

Based on, according to

Was poking around for examples to illustrate the difference between "based on" and "according to" and I stumbled across something that combines them: "Godspell: A Musical Based on the Gospel According to St. Matthew".

I'd been thinking of pairs of contrasting sentences (as I typically do), but this should work too.

Godspell: A Musical Based on the Gospel According to St. Matthew

Cull

Recently I said that "minimalism without some kind of design aspect doesn't seem that interesting". Somehow from that, I got thinking about how minimalism might be thought of as a sort of "cull".

Overstructuredness

In Leigh Honeywell's blog, I came across the term "tyranny of structurelessness", which is discussed in detail elsewhere. I found an interesting statement:

During the years in which the women's liberation movement has been taking shape, a great emphasis has been placed on what are called leaderless, structureless groups as the main -- if not sole -- organizational form of the movement. The source of this idea was a natural reaction against the over-structured society in which most of us found ourselves, and the inevitable control this gave others over our lives, and the continual elitism of the Left and similar groups among those who were supposedly fighting this overstructuredness.

I don't doubt that some organizations become "overstructured", but I'm curious as to how one might reliably distinguish "overstructuredness" from a structure one simply doesn't like.

Agnosticism is bullshit?

Penn Jillette says agonosticism is bullshit. However, he stipulates a definition of agnosticism that I'm not sure is actually used by agnostics today. Yes, there's a definition from the guy who coined the term, but is that how agnostics today define it? Definitions evolve.

Who controls the time?

I was thinking about the difference between looking at a painting or sculpture and listening to a piece of music. The difference between reading the story and watching it in a film. I think of it as a matter of who controls the time in which the art unfolds.

My search for "who controls the time", however, sent me something rather different.

An honest way, I think, to use quotations would be to quote things that you've read or heard first hand, so that you not only know what actually was said but also understand what was said in it context.

Without context, how could you be sure you're interpreting the quotation correctly? It may seem self-contained, but it may not actually be. I'm guessing that's how we get the misunderstanding around "hell is other people" (that, and the fact that it wasn't originally uttered in English). Or perhaps worse, people talking about "the invisible hand" without having read Adam Smith.

Perhaps you don't think it's important. Perhaps you care less about what's true than about sounding smart. That's where I think the bullshit comes in.

With so many (alleged) quotations floating around, though, you're bound to otherwise stumble across that resonates strongly with you. So, here's what you could do:

FInd the source.

Find the quote in context.

Read/listen to the context around the quote and reflect on what the writer/speaker meant.

If you're unable to do that and you still can't resist sounding off, at least add the words "attributed to".

Or don't. Does it matter what I think?

Speaking of quotes

I came across something tweeted by @workawesome:

Talent is cheaper than table salt. What separates the talented individual from the successful one is a lot of hard work. -Stephen King

Hmm. A little digging traces it to "an interview in the London Independent (March 10, 1996)". I found the piece online; the whole paragraph goes

The production line for what King calls his "literary equivalent of a Big Mac and large fries" has run at peak capacity ever since. King writes enough words for seven normal-length novels a year. "Talent is cheaper than table salt," he said once. "What separates the talented individual from the successful one is a lot of hard work."

"He said once" kinda makes it sound less lik something he heard directly from King himself, and more like something found elsewhere. However, the Facebook page with the source for the quote is Stephen King's, so I think the "did he really say it" question can be answered in the affirmative. Some reflection on the meaning of "success" (personal and social) seems warranted, though (re: the "literary equivalent" point).

Found on a search for "slushpile"

Someone associated with the old Zed site kept a blog with "slushpile" in the name. Nothing on that blog since mid 2012, and not much in the few years up until then. I guess we all move on to other things.

Anyway, I put "slushpile" into a search engine and came across something. I'm no authority on what (aspiring) writers should read, but I found something that might be useful to someone.

Band names

If you think up a great band name, go ahead and see if some band already has that name. But if you really, really think it's a great name, you might not want to find out how that band sounds. Just sayin'.

From William Gibson's 'Zero History' (Chapter 5):

Everything, she knew, had already been the title of a CD, just as everything had already been the name of a band. This was why bands, for the past twenty years or so, had mostly had such unmemorable names, almost as though they'd come to pride themselves on it.

Hmm.

Awful

Also from 'Zero History' (Chapter 3):

She sat on the edge of the bed, to put on her shoes. Then sback into the bathroom for makeup.

Shoes in the bathroom?

Evidence

The plural of "anecdote" is not "data", and you probably shouldn't mistake "testimony" for "proof", or "evidence" with "proof".

Have a good hard think about what you require in order to believe something. I know I am.

Pain point

There's this.

Do you think the author explicitly defines "pain point"? If so, what's the definition?

If not explicitly, then implicitly? If so, what do you think he implies?

If not even implicitly, do you infer something anyway? If so, what?

Make chalk marks and motivate workers

Merlin and Dan recounted the story of Charles Schwab and the chalk thing on the floor. They picked it up from Business Insider, which got it from Dale Carnegie. From what I can see, Carnegie cites no source for this story. How do we know it's accurate, or even true for that matter? Is there independent supporting documentation?

I recently read someone extolling the virtues of a park in New York. Then I read something else about the park. It seems that not everyone would necessarily have a reason to get excited about it.

Embrace the suck

George Carlin said that if our politics sucks, maybe it's because the public sucks -- because we suck.

Let's, on the one hand, embrace that thought for a moment; on the other hand, let's not stop where Carlin does, but move onto asking questions about how we could suck less. Not how those other guys over there could suck less, but ourselves.

How can I suck less?

Well, what do I suck at and how much does it matter (and what, in either instance, is the data and analysis to support my conclusions)?

Hmm.

The sexier question is how to get better at something or how to build on strengths, but maybe in part it's our efforts to make things better that are making things suck more. What if we instead directly addressed the question of how to make things (and ourselves) suck less?

Atheism redefined?

Per Wikipedia, atheism is "in a broad sense, the rejection of belief in the existence of deities". The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy says that atheism "means the negation of theism, the denial of the existence of God". Penn Jillette, however, is satisfied with merely saying "I don't know". But where he says "if you don't know, you can't believe", he seemingly neglects the possibility that if you don't know, you can't really disbelieve either.

Then again, Penn Jillette is an illusionist, so his playing tricks with language shouldn't come as much surprise. It's what he does.

Minimalism not so well defined

"Minimalism" comes up both in music and in technical communication, so I'm kind of primed to notice when someone brings it up. Like here. I see that one sense of the word is simple living. But minimalism without some kind of design aspect doesn't seem that interesting.

But here's an idea: instead of starting with a whole bunch of stuff and then seeing what you can discard, start with nothing and see how little you can add to how much effect.

Amplifying our weaknesses

If a leader polarizes their followers instead of uniting them to work toward shared goals, then does it matter how good their ideas are?

Never mind the campaign promises, show us how you're going to get people working together.

Rob Ford must go?

And speaking of not that interesting, there's this.

Remembering what Carlin said about sucking, getting rid of either or both Fords doesn't address what appears to be the real) problem. But putting Rob Ford into some sort of community service program with youth who have substance abuse problems might be interesting. After a year, what would he be like?

And what similar program of service could we suggest for Brother Doug?

Wrong hand

Think about it: unless you get manicures, the fingernails on your dominant hand are trimmed/filed by your non-dominant hand, so they probably look worse, unless you've taken the time to develop the skill or are just naturally talented in that area (or are ambidextrous and don't have a non-dominant hand).

(Not really the first to come up with this...)

Another angle on angels?

Do You Know What an Angel Investor Is? implies, I think, some uniform understanding of the term across the population of people who use the term. What would the (statistically valid) data to support that look like?

Grieg v Brubek

Idea: "In the Hall of the Mountain King" in the style of "Blue Rondo à la Turk".

Unfortunate project names

Reaching way back to this.

Random tips

Afraid of randomness? Or just annoyed by it? Try this, maybe (it sounds like something that someone would have already thought of and shared; why I thought of it, I have no idea): everyone prepares and brings a productivity tip to the meeting. One person's name is randomly drawn and they get to share the tip. Next week, do the same thing, but this time two names are drawn: one person tells how they implemented last week's tip, and the other to provide a new tip.

Breaking it down…

A search for "break it down into" led me to this. Then I started wondering about better and worse ways of breaking things down. Depends on the thing, I suppose. In any case, it's kind of like taking something apart in a way that allows you to put it back together again (keeping track of the loose pieces, remembering how they fit back together, etc).

And that, somehow, reminds me of "gumptions traps".

Texas Chainsaw Gatsby

Not the first one to think of that…. But there's this.

Tobe Hooper, Tobey Maguire… Here's something: Tobe Hooper was considered to direct a Spider-Man movie.

Two experiments: the sound file itself, and getting the images playing according to a (rough) pattern and in (again, rough) syncrhonization with the sound. For the latter, iMovie is a very rough tool, but it's handy.

Best Passenger Songs
MatrixGuyMichael David Rosenberg known by his stage name Passenger, British folk-rock singer-songwriter Don't agree with the list? Vote for an existing item you think should be ranked higher or if you are a logged in, add a new item for others to vote on or create your own version of this list.
The Top Ten
1Let Her Go
In early 2013, the song broke through in Europe and Oceania, reaching number-one in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden and Switzerland, making Passenger's first international success
The first time I heard Mike Rosenberg's voice, I was like, "Hey, is this a joke? ".
That would be the most, THE most, regretful statement I've made with respect to music. When I heard the full song, oh... it was beautiful.
That would be the most, THE most, regretful statement I've made with respect to music. When I heard the full song, oh... it was beautiful.
I HAD to vote "Let Her Go" It's so beautiful. And his voice is so honest and innocent. This is on my list of 'Songs You Would Play On A Loop'. Just such a lovely song. You're right to crown this gem.
[Newest]Every words are written from heart. It makes me cry I love this song... "only know you love her when you her go"
Great song, great band, love it!
The most beautiful and meaningful. So touching should be on top.
Amazing sing... Heard a thousand million times
[Newest]This was by far their best song
3The Wrong Direction
Passenger songs are my best of all song and it makes me redemption feeling as I am having the same felling that he sang in the let her go song and other are to beautiful.
4Things That Stop You Dreaming
5Staring at the Stars
It sounds kind of silly but then you listen to the acoustic version and you want to cRY it's so beautiful. "who needs love when you've got silicone and strap-ons? "
Full with meaning, it's a powerful satire, with a feeling of mockery and irony. Beautiful song with great lyrics, best of the album
6Life's for the Living
This made me fall in love with passenger music. It blew my mind. Helped me with my career choice. It put me in another place
This song has the lyrics any band might dream of creating... One of the absolute best lyrics and smooth classy tune, very good for soft late night music...

13Fairytales & Firesides
This song is so beautiful! It is sad and hopeful in the same moment. "We long for fairytales and firesides" summarized everything I have ever longed for in one sentence.
14Keep On Walking
Has everyone lost it... ? This is a really great song... I mean, after "let her go" & "holes", this one has to be on top...
For those who haven't heard it...
PLEASE GIVE IT A SHOT... I sure y'all will definitely vote... !

15Golden Leaves
Full of emotions, good lyrics and inspirational beats; should be high up on list, one of my personal faves!
Has to be in the top ten!
17The Last Unicorn
I really love this song
18Heart's On Fire
By far this is his best song could listen to it on repeat all day long
My new favorite song his duet with ed sheeran is amazing best I've ever heard
Just listened to it. It's really nice.
19You're On My Mind
20Walk In the Rain
Absolutely amazing song. Cannot wait for his new album. Builds up slowly and the finish is beautiful
"You see all I need is a whisper in a world that only shouts"
Fine words and thought provoking
22Riding to New York
Wow, Mike has made some pretty emotional songs over the years but none top this, got me right in the feels from the first verse and is THE highlight of Whispers. The songs tells the story of an old man who is slowly dieing from smoking and is going to ride across the US to see his family one last time in New York. Definitely listen to this, while it isn't as catchy or relatable as songs like Staring at the Stars, Holes and Whispers it is one of his best. Great job as always Mike!
23Scare Away the Dark
I live the idea of "if we all light up, we can scare away the dark" - beautiful A poet to be sure.
24Patient Love
This is should be in the top 5... So beautiful song
25Blind Love
An amazing and touching song. It's a really good one though x
26Walk You Home
I have all Passenger's albums and this is the song I keep coming back to
27A Thousand Matches
28Things You've Never Done
Mind blowing. Heart rending stuff!
"... The only failure is never to try..."

Obama Health Care Plan Squeezes ETFs
The nightmare scenario for health insurers, a "Medicare for All" system like the one Representative Dennis Kucinich envisioned in his 2005 bill, could put many of these companies out of business. On the other hand, the U.S. automobile industry and other sectors consider the end of company-sponsored health care the route to international competitiveness.
The C-rated ProShares UltraShort Health Care Fund (RXD), which bets on falling stocks, advanced 17%.
Two Rydex ETFs lacked trading activity on Feb. 19, so comparable return data isn't available. But based on the funds' net asset values, the Rydex Inverse 2X S&P Select Sector Health Care ETF (RHO) gained 18%, while the bullish equivalent, Rydex 2X S&P Select Sector Health Care ETF (RHM) lost 17%. These 200% leveraged funds would have been the best- and worst-performing health-care funds last week.Until the uncertainty surrounding the health-care system is resolved, the outlook for health and biotechnology shares and the funds that hold them remains murky.

Alumnet Simmons College
300 The FenwayBoston, MA
Nancy Sandler Gavrin '58 Champions Student Health, Fitness
$350,000 Gift Supports Peer Health Education Program
(October 3, 2011) -- Fitness-program owner and instructor Nancy Sandler Gavrin '58 has been in the exercise business for more than 30 years. So when she decided to make a significant gift to benefit Simmons students in connection with the Making Education Work Campaign, the College's Peer Health Education Program caught her attention. She liked what she heard.
"The program involves students helping to educate their peers about important health topics, including physical fitness. The goal is to create an awareness of health strategies that can last a lifetime," says Gavrin. "I want to help students understand how important it is to make their health a priority in their life now – to establish a pattern that will always benefit them. Physical, mental, and emotional health – it's all connected."
Gavrin traces her own commitment to fitness back to her teen years as a ballet student. "I kept up with dance at Simmons through the modern dance club, which performed at the College and around Boston," says Gavrin, who was a publication major (the precursor to today's communications program).
"At Simmons, we understand the important connection between health and wellbeing and student success. Nancy's generous gift supports our rich tradition of peer mentoring in health education and gives us the opportunity to impact the lives of students long after they graduate. We know that developing habits of self-care and positive fitness early in life can lead to better qualities of life, and greater health and wellbeing. And this is priceless!"
Sarah Neill Dean, Student Life
These days, Gavrin promotes the benefits of moving to music at StayFit/NY, the fitness program in Scarsdale, N.Y she has owned since 2006. "We focus on exercises for women of all ages, and our classes are always accompanied by live piano music. It's a luxury, but it's worth it," says Gavrin. She cites studies that indicate exercising to music can boost cognitive ability. Another study shows it can increase endurance.
"Over the years, I've seen how exercise helps women feel better about themselves physically and emotionally. It increases their self-confidence. Some of my students didn't start exercising until they reached their 60s – they just never made the time for themselves. I hope Simmons students will get started today," says Gavrin.

Bach cello suite #1 on viola
March 12, 2007 at 11:20 AMIt snuck up on me, but my performance in church is less than a week away. I'm playing two movements from the Bach cello suite #1 on viola, the Prelude and the Courante, and the Louis Vierne Legende.
I feel reasonably well prepared. I can play the Courante easily from memory and the Legende almost from memory. That one is harder because I haven't played it with the pianist yet and I was never able to find a recording. I did record myself, though, and found and fixed a few intonation and shifting problems that are much better now.
The Prelude was a more recent addition. I'm playing it for the prelude to the service. People are going to be talking and filing in, and it's only around 2 minutes long. The very last line, the end, is still a little shaky. Some of it, right before the end, is a bit like the Preludio from Partita in E on violin, which I've auditioned on successfully, and that part I do pretty well here . . . but then I get to the last few measures, the climax, with the string crossings and the intonation can go out without my really understanding why. Some of what Corwin Slack wrote about shifting from a finger seems to help, as well as just keeping the left hand quiet and in position without unnecessary movements. First I just lift one finger, then I roll my fingers rather than lifting and repositioning. That seems good, when it works, but it doesn't always work. And I'm a little at sea with respect to "shifting to a position." Except for easy, low positions (i.e. 1-3), I generally have to stop and think about (and therefore get distracted by) what position I'm in. Is this 4th or 6th? Usually by the time I've figured that out the notes I was supposed to be playing are long gone. And I don't find that information all that useful anyway--I'm in 4th position now, then I'm in 5th for those 2 notes and then I'm in 6th and now back to 2nd--how does that help?
Anyway, I'm trying not to think too much about the performance itself because I'll get nervous, and nerves don't focus me, they just make me feel stressed out and ineffective. The goal-setting aspect of this performance has been great: I'm thrilled that I can play a lot of this stuff from memory and that I've learned two movements of this suite. Having and working towards a goal has given me a real sense of progress and accomplishment. But the emotional aspect of an impending performance is something I'd still rather forego if I could.
From John ChewYou'll do fine. It is so appropriate - the majesty of Bach in a church
Posted on March 13, 2007 at 2:54 PM
Have fun!
From Richard HellingerI LOVE Bach's first cello suite prelude! And I have heard it is just as good on Viola! Sounds pretty good on the Euphonium too.
Posted on March 13, 2007 at 10:12 PM
Yah, it must be something about bach and church, I am playing Bach's concerto in A minor at the VA church in a couple of weeks... Short notice, but it is really easy!
From Karen AllendoerferThe whole Bach A minor or just a movement?
Posted on March 13, 2007 at 10:20 PM
One reason I am playing unaccompanied Bach is that it bugs me to practice pieces that need accompaniment when I don't have the accompaniment readily available. The Legende has piano accompaniment and I still haven't played both parts together because it's been hard to coordinate with the pianist. Yikes. We're going to rehearse Saturday and Sunday morning.
I'm biased, but at this point I think I prefer the cello suites on viola. I listened to a cello recording for a change of pace the other day and it just sounded too low. I feel like Goldilocks: the violin is too high, the cello is too low, but the viola is just right.
From Mendy SmithKaren- I LOVE teh 1st Suite Prelude! It was the first suite I started with... also the first time I ever shifted out of first position. For that last tricky line, look back one more line or so. What you are really doing is moving from 1st position, then a jump to 3rd for one beat, then to forth and remaining there until the final chord with a small 1/2 step shift. When I first learned this piece, my teacher had me play every other note (the higher ones) in those drone sections. After you get that down, add the remaining notes of the 16th note run (one of which is an open D). Since you stress the higher notes, any small intonation problems get lost a bit in the resonance of the open D and the higher note. Also the 2nd to last measure uses a fingered C on the D string, you can check your tuning if your lower C string gets its sympathetic vibration. The same thing happens with the measure before that with a fingered A.

The 24-year-old becomes Pools' second signing of the summer, joining Jonathan Franks in making Victoria Park his new home.
Walton, who began his career with hometown club Leeds, was made captain of Argyle last term and ended the year as their top scorer with eight goals.
Having made 66 appearances for the Pilgrims, Walton admits his move to Pools was motivated by his desire to be nearer to his family.
"I am going to be upset to leave - there's no getting away from the fact - but I am taking a step forward in my life and a step up," he told Argyle's official website.
"It's a club going places. In a way, I'm a bit sad I'm not going to be part of it, but I have my own bright future to look to now."
Manager Carl Fletcher added: "We are disappointed to see him go and we wish him all the best for the future."

500 internal error if files has write permission in the group
I have a PHP site, which allows me to upload pictures.
There's no trouble uploading the file, but the the file permissions on the picture is not "read by all groups", and the result is that i can't view the file in a browser.
My first thought was the give the uploading PHP file permissions to write, but when i do that, i get an internal error 500.
It's running in suPHP.
Please, anybody?
what does your apache error log tell you when you get the 500 error?
This is one of the security mechanisms of suphp, you can change this in the suphp.conf file.
Okay, where do i find it?
Almost all linux config files are in /etc. As the program is named suphp, you will find the file in the directory /etc/suphp/
And in case that you dont find a file on your server, just use the command locate. E.g.:
locate suphp.conf
Found it, thanks, but:
server1:/# locate suphp.conf
-bash: locate: command not found
The images is still only given read and write permissions for owner, and can't be viewed in the browser :(
I use the same script which worked on another server, I've given the file chmod 777. It's a standard PHP (move_uploaded_file) script :/
Your problem is not the permissions of the upload script, your problem is that the upload script sets wrong permissions for the uploaded image file. Your upload script must contain a chmod command to set the permissions of the uploadedc image file correctly.

Your right, secured credit cards do work the same way but secured credit
cards report to the the credit bureau… that means when you use the credit
card responsibly it builds your credit. Once you have built your credit
using a couple secured cards you can then be approved for Unsecured cards
(that don't require a deposit) and in most cases with higher limits. That
is what I did to start rebuilding my credit after bankruptcy. -Joe

my credit score goes from 649 to 690 depending on experian,trans union or
equifax. why does my score vary? I use my cards a lot, but pay them off
each month. or. I pay most of the balance off. would my score improve if I
paid off every card in full each month? I was also told that where you shop
affects your score, is that true?

I can only speak for myself… My website is an affiliate site so when
people sign up for a credit card I get paid by the credit card company.
Some people may be turned off by that but when people come to my site I
show them the best credit cards for bad credit and give them advice on what
I used to rebuild my credit. So you could go directly to the credit card
company and apply for the credit card or you could come over to my site and
sign up… I do my best to provide value at my site

I know its a long video but if you watch all of it and my other vids then
you will see that what I did was NOT just go get more debt but to obtain
credit lines that I used responsibly to create a new track record after
bankruptcy. The sooner you start creating new responsible credit trade
lines the quicker you can rebuild your credit score so you can finance the
debt that is important in life like a car, home ect…

The one card listed on your site wants a $95.00 "one time" processing fee
AND $75 for the first year (So Basically if you get approved you start with
a balance of $170) then $45 a year after. No thank you! With their fees, it
would be smarter to do a secured card and pay a deposit of $200. Better
than wasting $170 on the fees just to obtain the card!

I can only tell you what I have experienced… I had a couple of these
credit cards that I was able to get when I had bad credit and have used
them to build my credit for about 3 years. My credit has improved so I
decided to cancel these two cards that charged me a monthly fee of $7 or $8
dollars. I have not had any decrease in my credit score since doing this.
Keep in mind I had a total of 7 credit cards now I have 5… I would not
have done it if I only had 2 or 3 credit cards. -Joe

I agree, if you have an extra $200-$400 cash in your pocket then you can
get a secured card and be further ahead… but in my opinion the unsecured
card that has $170 in upfront fees would be good if a person didn't have
any cash to put toward the deposit on a secured card. I personally have
applied for cards that had these large fees only because I didn't have a
lot of extra cash but I knew that I needed to start establishing good
credit lines and it was worth paying the fees. hope that helps

yes they said they obtain information from equifax that stopped them from
giving me a unsecured card but there sign up policy says if you remain in
good standing with there secured card they will graduate you to a unsecured
card in 8 months but they do not its been over a year now i had another
secured card with another bank they did the samething until i paid it off
and closed the accound then they offer me a unsecured card

Did they give you a reason why they would not upgrade you to a regular
unsecured card? Are there other negative thing on your credit that is
holding you back? Without knowing your entire situation it would be hard to
guess what the problems is… I would probably try to apply for an
unsecured card from another company to see if I could get approved for a
different card.

Good Video! You could also use a free consumer organization such as "Bad

How long do I need to use a secured credit card once I get one? Will I
always need to use it? And if I stop using it will my credit fall?

Apologies to everyone (except Cunninghams)… Yet again I feel the need to vent my frustration about the poor support provided by Cunninghams. Technically they are capable, but organisationally they are terrible. The poor women answering the phone promises a call back and nothing happens, you call in, sorry I can't connect you, they will call you back – repeat until bored.
I would recommend that any taking on a cashless catering solution from Cunninghams establishes a clear SLA as apart of the support contract. Timely support will be important to you.

Using a Content Delivery Network (CDN) can be beneficial for just about any type of site; however, you are going to see greater improvements for media heavy sites, such as photo blogs.
The goal of a CDN is to distribute static media to users who are visiting your website. One benefit of using a CDN is the fact that they use a geographical DNS resolution to make sure that your users hit a CDN server closest to their geographic location. By doing this, you can deliver the media content quicker to your users' browser.
Learn more about our WordPress Hosting and about the good news of installing WordPress on Cloud Sites with just one click through the Rackspace control panel.
There are a couple of WordPress plugins that can connect the media on your site to Rackspace Cloud Files and help leverage the CDN. One of those is CDN Tools – as you upload an image or media file to your site, the plugin will store that file automatically on your Rackspace Cloud Files account so you can benefit from the CDN. Another plugin that supports a large variety of CDNs in addition to Rackspace Cloud Files is W3 Total Cache.
With only a few clicks, you can leverage these plugins to better serve media content to your end users. Not only will they get the content faster, your server will not be over taxed by rendering media files and can focus on delivering the text content of your site.
Previously, Matt talked about the importance of caching your WordPress site and check out the following post where he explains how to backup both the file system and database of your WordPress Site. Learn more about how Rackspace can help you with hosting your WordPress site.
In this article you're referencing static content such as photos, but what if I want to deliver a bunch of video content self hosted? Is there a great tool Rackspace offers for this?
I've installed the Total Cache plugin and unfortunately Total Cache doesn't seem to work well with the custom files types. All the other files such as wp-include does upload perfectly. In other words, I can't upload any plugins to Rackspace. Any ideas? I'm tempted to say that Total Cache is broken and with current version 0.9.2.8 it should NOT be used for Rackspace. It's impossible getting the custom files to work. Any idea?
I was so hoping the Rackspace Cloud Files plugin would work, but it hasnt been updated in years and ppl are reporting problems with the plugin. W3 Total Cache, I've tried a self hosted CDN, MAXCDN and now Rackspace Cloud Files and the plugin unfortunately is just too unpredicatable, it works for a while and then problems start creeping in. the last time with disastrous results.
Nice post! My favorite CDN is http://www.keycdn.com. It is a cheap CDN but they got still good support and great performance. It is easy to integrate it with w3 total cache. They provided me with a tutorial how to get started.
The options for rackspace cdn plugins and cloudfiles really dont seem all that great, it would be good if there was something solid that worked really well.
