The core of Christian worship is certainly the excitement--and sadness--of the Holy Week experience, and the music for it includes some of Christendom's most wondrous melodies. Gilbert M. Martin has given several of these beloved hymns an attractive new sound by arranging them for piano four-hands. In this versatile new collection are two hymns for Jesus' entry into Jerusalem, two designed for Jesus' glorious Resurrection, and a haunting setting of "Ah, Holy Jesus" for Holy Week proper. "Palms to Victory" will provide a fresh soundscape for your services this Easter season.

Faith, Hope, and Love. (Creative hymn expressions for piano). By Patti Drennan. For piano. Sacred. Intermediate. Published by Lorenz Publishing Company (LO.70-1774L).
Patti Drennan is known for her creative choral and keyboard writing, and we're glad to add her to our keyboard roster with "Faith, Hope, and Love." The title is drawn from I Corinthians 13, and each hymn or medley focuses on one of those three virtues. But there's plenty of variety: for instance, "hope" is represented by the sweet Gospel song "Whispering Hope," and also by a powerful medley of "The Solid Rock" and "O God, Our Help in Ages Past." This delightful book is pleasing to the ear, and easy on the hands, with arrangements that explore many styles and colors.

Her response is this glowing collection of flexible medleys based on beloved hymns and Gospel songs. Each title offers multiple stop and start points, which makes this an indispensable book for the varying demands of Communion or Holy Week services. Best of all, these pieces are easy to prepare as well as creative and musically satisfying.

O Day of Peace - Full Score by Carol Lynn Mizell. Level 3. Full Score. Published by Chorister's Guild (LO.CGB732).
The hymn tune JERUSALEM by Charles Hubert Hastings Parry (1848-1918) serves as the tune for what is considered to be England's most popular patriotic song.

Here is a stunning arrangement combining the "Dies Irae" and "Stabat Mater" chants layered with the melancholy PASSION CHORALE ("O Sacred Head, Now Wounded"). The singing bell technique adds intensity to this memorable selection for Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, or any time during Lent and Holy Week. The optional cello adds great sophistication to the piece, whether in worship, festivals, or concerts.

No Stone Could Hold Him - SATB Score with Performance CD. (A Dynamic Witness to the Living Rock of Our Salvation). By Lloyd Larson. For SATB choir, piano (with optional orchestration). Cantatas. Holy Week, Eastertide, Sacred. Choral score and performance CD. Published by Lorenz Publishing Company (LO.55-1156L).
"No Stone Could Hold Him" is a spirited witness to the ministry, passion, death, and resurrection of Jesus, the Rock of our Salvation. Written by celebrated composer Lloyd Larson, this powerful work is filled with scripture-based images of Jesus as "A Rock in a Weary Land," even when tempted by Satan to "turn these stones to food;" as the Solid Rock on which we stand through "Winds of Change" and "Shifting Sand;" as Jerusalem's triumphant King who commands the rocks to keep silent; as the Cornerstone of our faith, betrayed and crucified; and as the risen Savior whom no stone could hold in the tomb. Inspired by these images, the music is bold and enlivening with rousing original music alongside energetic spirituals and gospel songs. This dramatic work is an exceptional choice for Easter worship with its seven choruses and options for duets and solos. It can also be performed during the Lenten season or Holy Week by omitting the final chorus.
Genres: Christian, Easter, Religious, Celebrations
The Way of the Cross Leads Home - SATB Score with CD (Following the Path of Salvation Through Hymns). By Mary McDonald; Jean Anne Shafferman. Arranged by Jean Anne Shafferman. For SATB choir, piano (with optional orchestration). Cantatas. Holy Week, Eastertide, Sacred. Choral score and performance CD. Published by Lorenz Publishing Company (LO.55-1153L).
"The Way of the Cross Leads Home" by Mary McDonald is a powerful affirmation of our faith: that the path to everlasting life is found in Christ's journey to the cross. The music reflects Mary's deep roots in Christian hymnody and her belief that "hymns constitute our Christian heritage and provide a rich reservoir of spiritual guidance. It is through the singing of these great songs that we restate the purpose of our belief and the hope of our existence. The spiritual nourishment of these well-known texts supplies us with the reassurance that the Bible is true and God is real." The inspired combination of traditional hymn tunes and Mary's original melodies creates a seamless flow as the words of the hymns partner with the narrative to tell the story. Along the way, both performer and listener will pause to reflect upon and experience those events of 2,000 years ago--and to be reminded that, throughout this journey of faith, we have a Savior who will lead us to our eternal home.

Lady Han is a post-Christmas-nearly-Valentine's-Day, distinctly American take on a classical Noh drama about a prostitute going mad with loneliness.
Lady Han is an otherworldly, 20th-century spin on a classic Noh play, with a skeleton faithfully based on the 17th-century ? Japanese play by Zeami and flesh that is All-American. Lady Han is a story of a prostitute who falls in love with a client, Yoshida, and pines for him all Fall and Winter. When he returns she has already gone mad and doesn't recognize him. Using this poetic text and the conventions of classical Japanese drama, the production aims to lift our own culture - denim, Dolly, shopping carts, line dancing, plastic Christmas trees - to the height of elegance.
In a time of manic, maximalist, fast and furious entertainment, the piece takes audiences down an alternate path to use the theatre as a place of contemplation and focus, attempting to slow down our minds and explore the beauty and sadness in contemporary American popular culture. The bold production presents white-hot passion and sorrow with careful restrain and formality utilizing the tools of precise audio and production design. The driving force in this piece - as in traditional Noh - is the live music, which is composed by Taylor Brook, and features banjo, vocals and electronics.

The Great Circus Mystery Starring Mickey & Minnie |
Publisher Region Released |
Reviewed by Jason Venter (April 24, 2004) When Capcom released its first game for the Genesis, I wanted to spit at the company for turning traitor. Capcom was Nintendo's homey. Everyone knew that. Things got even worse when they ported The Magical Adventure to the Genesis. The title was one of my favorites for the Super Nintendo, and I selfishly wanted to keep that joy to myself, out of the hands of the poor saps stupid enough to support the Genesis instead of Nintendo's system. In the good old days, I was the worst sort of fanboy. Eventually, my disgust with Capcom caused me to disregard all their Genesis releases, and so it wasn't until just recently that I discovered they also released the follow-up to The Magical Quest. It's called The Great Circus Mystery, and it's one of the most recent additions to my collection. As it turns out, it's also not quite the fun that its predecessor was. |

OpenSUSE (like SuSE Linux before it) has traditionally taken a position which is relatively friendly toward proprietary software. It was only in 2006 that Novell announced its intention to stop shipping non-GPL kernel modules, but it never made any such promises with regard to user space. So a typical openSUSE installation disk includes a number of proprietary goodies, including the Adobe Flash player, a number of fonts, ARCAD, the Acrobat PDF reader, the Opera web browser, RealPlayer, and more.
The presence of all this proprietary code is unwelcome to some users, of course, but it has another interesting effect: it requires that openSUSE be distributed with an end-user license agreement which has some very un-free-software-like terms. Among other things, it reads:
In other words, redistribution of the openSUSE DVD is not permitted. Members of the openSUSE mirror network are, technically, in violation of the EULA, though nobody appears to be in a hurry to call them on that. But the EULA raises eyebrows and makes some users uncomfortable; many people got into free software to avoid dealing with agreements like that.
The need for the EULA, rather than problems with proprietary software in general, is causing developers at Novell to reconsider which packages should go onto an openSUSE DVD. To that end, Novell product manager Michael Löffler has proposed a new scheme whereby the DVD would only contain redistributable software (including proprietary software, such as firmware, which allows redistribution). The openSUSE project would set up a network-based repository from which other proprietary applications could be installed; the installer would then install a couple of packages (the Adobe Flash player and Fluendo's MP3 codec) by default.
The end result for most users would be the same: an openSUSE installation with both free and proprietary software. At least, that would be the case for users with a decent network connection. But those users would also gain a DVD with a much less restrictive EULA allowing the DVD to be redistributed at will. (The current plan is to still have an agreement for trademark control and warranty disclaimer reasons, even though other software distributors have managed to eliminate EULAs for those purposes). At this point, it would also be easy to add an option to simply skip the configuration of the non-free repository for users who want a "clean" installation.
Most responses to this proposal have been positive. The happiness is not universal, though; one user complained:
It is true that one-stop shopping has long been a feature of the SUSE distribution. And a recent survey [PDF] suggests that a significant portion of the openSUSE user base makes use of at least a few of the proprietary tools included there. If the presence of this code is truly a "key point" of openSUSE, then taking it out could risk upsetting users at a time when, by some accounts, the visibility of this distribution is already dropping.
This risk would be mitigated by a couple of factors, though. One is that the need to download those packages over the net is not much of a stopping point for most users. After all, people installing Linux from a CD or DVD have usually resigned themselves to a massive download of package updates after the first boot anyway. Tossing a few more packages into that download - assuming they weren't set to be updated by then anyway - is not going to change the experience in any significant way.
But the other relevant point is that the need for much of this proprietary code is decreasing. Java used to be a big part of the openSUSE proprietary software load, but Java is now free. Your editor cannot remember when he last encountered a PDF file which could not be managed by at least one free viewer - though, evidently, such files do still exist. Perhaps the biggest remaining problem is Flash; progress is being made there, but Flash is most certainly not a solved problem. Beyond that, though, there are few situations indeed where a proprietary application is really needed for ordinary tasks.
The openSUSE distribution is not distancing itself from proprietary software at this time; it is just reorganizing its management of that software to address one of the problems it brings. But it is still hard to avoid the temptation to read between lines and look forward to a day when openSUSE, too, distributes only free software - not as a result of any sort of push for purity, but just because its users no longer have any need for anything else.
How Debian handles it
Posted Sep 29, 2008 14:57 UTC (Mon) by dmarti (subscriber, #11625) [Link]
Debian does distribute proprietary software, but it tells you what it's doing.
On Debian, I can run "vrms" to see what proprietary stuff if any I have installed, then remove it with the package manager and edit /etc/apt/sources.list and remove the "non-free" repository. From then on, the system policy prevents the package manager from installing anything with a questionable license.
It's probably not a big deal for a home machine, but if you're going to deploy it for work, or build an embedded system or "virtual appliance" based on it, the Debian way offers peace of mind. No more "oops, I didn't know Example.com ImprisonDmitryWare was on there!"
The big question needs to be: is there a configuration change that you can make that will prevent the system from installing proprietary software behind your back?

Yes, the proprietary software would just be offered by default. The installation itself will need an ok, uncheck or similar.

That tool isn't good enough. Here is what vrms says about one of my machines:
jester:~# vrms No non-free packages installed on jester! rms would be proud.
One little problem... jester is a fully functional MythTV front and backend. It can rip and play DVDs, play video and music in a multitude of patented formats, etc. RMS would not be proud of that machine.

Unfortunately, yes. But there still are situations -even in the industrial west- where you want install Linux, or upgrade it "in the woods" with no practical broadband. I recently had one such experience, and found that even making an off-line collection of packages for an upgrade is painful. (I never imagined that a DVD-R would get too small for just the packages needing upgrade!). Eventually much of the upgrade got done by trickling it over GPRS, fortunately there was no great hurry and we had an unlimited data plan.
PDF not readable with free software

I have also experienced one PDF document which xpdf displayed fine but printed a set of black boxes. Using adobe's software worked without any problems. Explanations are welcome on the back of a post card.
Electronic journal articles, which are almost always in PDF format, are particularly prone to problems. I suspect some of them are not valid PDF but acrobat reader somehow copes with the problems, possibly by ignoring the incorrect data.
(Given the choice I prefer a 64 bit version of xpdf to acroread, partly because the former is a lot faster and shares more memory with other programs.)

The only place where free and unfree software are mixed is the installation DVD. So an easy way to have a guaranteed free-software-only system is to just use the oss online repo and remove everything that's not there.

firmware and avoiding non-free software

Posted Oct 5, 2008 16:20 UTC (Sun) by vonbrand (subscriber, #4458) [Link]
Who would sue whom about firmware inside the kernel? Would the kernel hackers sue themselves? Or perhaps the people who provided said firmware for use with their hardware sue Red Hat for distributing it with Linux? I can't imagine the firmware got included in the kernel without the owner's knowledge and consent...
Posted Oct 6, 2008 2:33 UTC (Mon) by pjm (subscriber, #2080) [Link]
When talking about distributors choosing not to distribute proprietary firmware blobs as part of the Linux binary image, the suing that they want to avoid is where they the distributors (and their mirror providers) are sued by one of the copyright holders of some GPLv2-licensed piece of code in Linux.
As for why a Linux copyright owner would sue a distributor, maybe some separate disagreement arises and the copyright owner uses the threat of suing as a bargaining chip, or maybe the copyright owner is a company (see SCO).
As for the copyright owners of the firmware itself, they have grounds to sue if the firmware blob weren't licensed for distribution at all, or if the Linux binary image that contains that firmware blob is considered a derivative work of the firmware blob (which seems less likely than the above case), and if the firmware's license hasn't granted permission to distribute derivative works of the firmware. I haven't heard of distributors being concerned about this case.
Going back to the question of to what extent tearing firmware out of the kernel [Linux] is evidence of a desire to avoid anything non-free, I believe that in some cases the distributor still distributes the firmware blob, but as a separate file loaded into the device from userspace. (Moving the firmware blob out of the Linux binary image in this way makes it clearer that this is an instance of mere aggregation of another work [viz. the firmware] not based on [Linux] with [Linux] ... on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, and much harder for the would-be plaintiff to argue that these separate files form a single work that is a derivative work of content of either file.) If a distributor is still distributing the firmware, then clearly they are not trying to avoid anything non-free, but are merely trying to avoid copyright lawsuits.

Small rise in unemployment
8:50am Friday 22nd March 2013 in News
THE number of people looking for work in Worcestershire has risen.
Figures for February from the Office for National Statistics have revealed there were 10,685 people in the county claiming Jobseekers Allowance (JSA) - up on 10,359 the previous month.
However, numbers are still lower than the same time last year when 11,819 were receiving the benefit.
The claimant rate stood at 3.1 per cent of Worcestershire's 16 to 64-year-olds, whereas this was 4.8 per cent in the West Midlands and 3.9 per cent in England, and the number of 18 to 24-year-olds receiving the benefit rose by 150 claimants to 3,030 - lower than the regional figure of 8.9 per cent and above the national rate of 7.1 per cent.
The number of people claiming for more than 12 months rose by 60 to 2,310 or 0.6 per cent - below the regional figure of 1.4 per cent for the West Midlands and one per cent for England.
Nationally, unemployment has increased for the first time in a year, with the jobless total rising by 7,000 to 2.52 million.

Watch the FULL Sermon Version: Taking the Mystery out Knowing God's Will OR Read / Listen
The will of God is not meant to be a secret we must uncover. God wants us to understand His will far more than we want to understand it. He always makes His will clear to those who seek it with an obedient heart. Most of the real problem areas in the question of God's will are settled for us in Scripture. The Bible reveals what God's Will for all is. Here are 6 Things that are God's Will for our Lives.
If ALL those 6 Things are TRUE in your Life, you may do WHATEVER you want.
- Psalm 37:4 "DELIGHT yourself in the LORD; and HE WILL GIVE YOU the DESIRES of your Heart."
THAT MEANS— that if YOU are CONFORMING to GOD'S WILL in ALL the 6 WAYS listed above, HE will place in YOUR Heart...DESIRES that REFLECT HIS WILL.

In The New Negotiating Edge: The Behavioral Approach for Results and Relationships, Gavin Kennedy, a successful negotiation consultant with three decades of experience, outlines a new approach to diplomatic and effective ways to achieve negotiating goals while building and maintaining strong relationships. He asserts that most people are either "red" negotiators, aggressive and hard-line, or "blue" negotiators, passive and overly conciliatory. Kennedy proposes a middle ground, or "purple" style of negotiation, that utilizes the benefits of the red and blue styles and tempers the weaknesses of both for optimum business success.
Kennedy discusses the typical characteristics of red and blue negotiators, the relationship between negotiation and culture, resolving conflict in negotiation and incorporating purple behaviors into the four steps of the negotiation process. Also included are self-assessment tools for determining your preferred negotiation styles in each of the four stages so that you can work on making your individual skills purple and, thus, as effective as possible. The New Negotiating Edge is an essential reference, not just for the business world, but for all interpersonal communication, whether in the context of global diplomacy, the workplace or personal relationships.
Gavin Kennedy has authored 11 books on negotiation, which have been translated into numerous languages. He is a professor at Edinburgh Business School and managing director of Negotiate Limited, a training and consulting firm.
"A lesson in negotiating, whether applied to peacekeeping, team work, or one-to-one relationships. It is negotiating made easy."

The New American Sustainable Agriculture Project (NASAP), based at Cultivating Community in Portland, Maine, provides training and technical assistance to immigrants and refugees seeking to develop farm businesses in Maine. Most of its program participants come from African communities where agriculture was a way of life for their families before their homes were devastated by war. Now in Maine, they want to put that old way of life to work creating farm businesses in their new home.
Seynab Ali and Batula Ismail have been participating in NASAP since 2006. Since 2009, they have been successfully attending one of Southern Maine´s best farmers´ markets in Kennebunk, where they have built a loyal following. Every year, customers who attend the first spring markets, before most vegetable vendors arrive, start asking when they will see them again. In 2011, they were also accepted into a competitive market in Mid-Coast Maine in the town of Damariscotta, and together with a farmers´ market in Lewiston, where they live, they now attend three farmers´ markets a week.
In addition, with the support of NASAP, they are delivering 27 CSA shares to various offices in the Portland area a week. They have also independently recruited 5 CSA customers from their farmers´ markets without the program's support.
Both Seynab and Batula completed a second year of business plan development this year. In NASAP's business plan track, advanced participants like Seynab and Batula are paired with expert advisors from the agricultural community to give them additional resources to succeed. The business planner helped them identify their financial goals for the year, then walked back through each individual market to identify what necessary weekly sales would need to be to reach their goal. They then modified the goal to keep their plans realistic and discussed business strategies to meet their weekly sales targets.
Seynab and Batula each made several thousand dollars in 2009, enough to meet the USDA's definition of a farmer but not enough to support a family. Over the past two years, however, with NASAP's support they have seen their income rise by over ten times. They are always thinking about the next steps in developing their business and acquiring the skills they need to succeed. In 2012, their goals are to better integrate cover crop into their farm and to set up their irrigation system as early in the spring as possible.
Above all, for the customers who have gotten to know them at markets, it is their enthusiasm and their commitment to succeed as farmers in Maine that shines through. In Batula's words, "This country is a new country. It is difficult to farm. I want to improve my life through farming… to make my farm bigger and to have my own farm and house. I believe no one can live without farms."

I'm using code that returns the name of a worksheet (strSheetName) from different "sources", depending on the particular procedure. The two methods being used are:
o ThisWorkbook.Names(strRangeName).RefersToR1C1
o ActiveSheet.Name
Typically, the results look like:
But if there is a space character in the worksheet name, the results returned appear like:
='Quotes Submitted'!R2C1:R5C23
Quotes Submitted
It's not possible to apply a method that can consistently extract or reuse the returned sheetnames, without me using two functions to run the returned values through - one to add single quote marks around strSheetName if they're needed in the particular context but they're not already there; the other to remove them from strSheetName if they're present, and if their removal is appropriate to some other context in which strSheetName is being used.
This does work, but it's a bit clunky and rather tedious to have to keep applying these functions throughout the code, in various contexts. Has anyone encountered this and come up with a way to consistently obtain a return value of a sheet name, regardless of whether it contains blanks or not?

Spatial Data/Indexing performance issues

Without trying to be obtuse, perhaps I can answer your question with another question: "What made you think that using the geography datatype would make this query faster than using the old skool method?"
The geography datatype allows you to describe and store complex shapes - LineStrings, Polygons, Curves (from SQL 2012), and collections of these types, each one potentially containing thousands or more points. These shapes are positioned on an ellipsoidal surface, using one of a recognised number of geodetic models that approximate the shape of the earth. It provides methods not only to derive the distance between points, but to perform complex tests such as whether (and where) two shapes intersect, whether two shapes cross, overlap, or are contained within one another, and to calculate the area contained within an abstract shape, for example.
So, the geography datatype is good for performing accurate spatial computations between complex geometries. The trade-off is that it is not necessarily as fast as "old-skool" methods for performing simple Point-to-Point distance calculations. If you're happy using a simple approximation of the shape of the earth as a sphere, and you're only dealing with locations that can be described by a single pair of latitude/longitude coordinates, and you only want to do simple calculations such as straight-line distance, you will almost always get better performance using simple numerical methods on two columns of the float datatype.
I covered this a little in my talk at SQLBits 5 - you can see the slide deck and video online:

Thats a very good question and the answer is that it was more of a presumption than anything else. I thought i'd give the spatial route a try to see if it could/would improve the search but from viewing you SQLBits presentation/slides I'm barking up the wrong tree :).
Thanks for the response and information, I'll look into other ways I can tune this process.

January's finished.....
How'd you close out your first month of the new year?
Finding inspiration in others and hoping to return the favor! Blogging about the journey toward the finish line......
Good week in running and cross training.
We were on vacation - snowboarding and I was able to get 30 min. on Monday (T/M run). Tues. was 2 plus hours of snow board and Wed. a 46 min. run with my dog. Thurs. more cross, followed by a 3 mile run. Sat. I have a 10K. The plan is simply to get the miles in and don't go for the "gold".
Having a pretty good week, but I'm pretty sore. I introduced weight training again for the first time in...a long time...so I'm having a hard time sitting down and standing up! Going to get a good long run in tonight and a short one in tomorrow. Hope everyone's week was good!
All is going well here. Getting in runs when I can.
Going well for me. I participated in a 5k on Sunday and got my fastest time ever. I finished week 5 of couch to 5k so managed 21 minutes of running with no stopping or walking :)17 miles for the week mixed walking and running.
Finished January with 94 miles - whoo hoo! Of course the half marathon help that out alot! Starting out February slow. I'm hoping I didn't injure myself - strange pain in my thigh. Scheduled to do the Lady Track Shack 5k tomorrow, but might end up being a very slow jog or walk. I have to be careful - Princess half in 4 weeks!!
Had a slow running week. Lots of snow and ice on the roads, so I couldn't get out and run. Used the bike at home to keep up with my exercise. I am running in the Krispy Kreme Challenge tomorrow and then I need to get a long run in on Sunday. Looks like I will make up my miles missed this week on the weekend!
Slow week due to snow, slush and mud on the roads. Hoping to get something decent in this weekend but we'll see!
By the way... I figured out that only your running miles count toward the leader board on the daily mile since PiF is a running group. Eliptical, bike, etc... don't count toward the group but they do on your personal stats.
Have a great week!
This has been a slow week, but it will be getting better and better, so no worries on my end :)
I finished Jan one mile ahead of where I needed to be to be on schedule for the club. WOO HOO!
Coming back Mon evening to comment and share my week & month.....Sounds like you guys had an awesome month and some of you, a REALLY fun week: snowboarding?? AppleC, sounds like a blast!
HUGS everybody! Off to work for a NEW week.
P.S. - Did my first TRAIL run this weekend. Looking forward to sharing. :-)
For our 'slow week' gals - I had an entire MONTH of that in January... that's a bummer, I know. Sending you GOOD VIBES!!
See everybody back online soon!

BOSTON (December 2, 2005) — In an unusual effort to prepare Boston youths for an increasingly global society, Simmons College is training Boston middle school teachers to introduce a comprehensive study of Japanese culture and society into their classrooms.
The program, which is funded by the U.S.-Japan Foundation, will enable 12 middle school teachers from Boston public schools to attend courses at Simmons, develop and implement instructional lesson plans, and embark on a 10-day study tour of Kyoto, Japan, a sister city of Boston, in July 2006.
Participating are teachers from at least four Boston middle schools, including the New Boston Pilot Middle School in Dorchester.
Joy Bettencourt and Gary Oakes, Simmons College education professors and co-organizers, say Japan's distinct culture, increasing population, advances in technology, and current ties to the United States make it an ideal country for students to study in-depth."The world is becoming smaller," said Bettencourt. "We're hoping that as part of this program, teachers can develop ongoing relationships with teachers we meet in Japan, and that there will be connections between students."
Bettencourt said middle school is a crucial time to instill cultural awareness in students, because of their willingness to learn new and different information, and the interdisciplinary format of middle school education. The program, which also involves the Simmons College East Asian Studies program, will focus on Japanese culture — including art, religion, and language — from the perspective of Japanese middle school students, they said.
The U.S.-Japan Foundation is a private foundation committed to promoting stronger ties between Americans and Japanese by supporting projects that foster mutual knowledge and education, deepen understanding, create effective channels of communication, and address common concerns in an increasingly interdependent world. The foundation awards grants in three main program areas: pre-college education, education and public opinion, and U.S.-Japan policy.
Simmons College (www.simmons.edu) is a nationally recognized private university located in the heart of Boston. It includes an undergraduate college for women, and graduate programs for women and men in social work, health studies, library and information science, management, and liberal arts.

Justin Bieber has concussed himself on a glass wall in France.
The Boyfriend singer was performing in Paris when he walked into a glass wall backstage and knocked himself out.
The teen sensation told TMZ:
"So basically... I'm in Paris and I'm like, performing on the tallest building in Paris.
"There's a glass wall behind me, but there's a railing behind the glass, and so, I went to reach for the railing and I hit my head on the glass.
"It really hurt and I felt a little light-headed, but my adrenalin, I feel, pushed me through it and I performed my last song.
"After that, I went off stage and I immediately felt really weak. I was walking down the stairs and I passed out for like, 15 seconds... I feel good, I have a little bit of a headache, but I feel fine.
"I mean, you've got to laugh at yourself sometimes."
The star, who was once videoed hurting himself walking into a revolving glass door, confirmed that he had seen a doctor and had been diagnosed with concussion.
He added:
"I guess me and glass windows don't really go together."
It was recently revealed that Bieber may face six months in prison if allegations that he had an altercation with a photographer are true.
Calabasas police want to speak to the performer about the incident with a paparazzi photographer after he claimed that the singer "physically battered" him.

Have you ever wondered where we got our decimal numbering system from? The Roman Empire left Europe with the Roman numeral system which we still see, amongst other places, in the copyright notices after TV programmes (1997 is MCMXCVII).
The Roman numerals were not displaced until the 13th Century AD when Fibonacci published his Liber abaci which means "The Book of Calculations".
Leonardo Fibonacci c1175-1250.
Fibonacci, or more correctly Leonardo da Pisa, was born in Pisa in 1175AD. He was the son of a Pisan merchant who also served as a customs officer in North Africa. He travelled widely in Barbary (Algeria) and was later sent on business trips to Egypt, Syria, Greece, Sicily and Provence.
In 1200 he returned to Pisa and used the knowledge he had gained on his travels to write Liber abaci in which he introduced the Latin-speaking world to the decimal number system. The first chapter of Part 1 begins:
These are the nine figures of the Indians: 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1. With these nine figures, and with this sign 0 which in Arabic is called zephirum, any number can be written, as will be demonstrated.
Root finding
Fibonacci was capable of quite remarkable calculating feats. He was able to find the positive solution of the following cubic equation:
What is even more remarkable is that he carried out all his working using the Babylonian system of mathematics which uses base 60. He gave the result as 1;22,7,42,33,4,40 which is equivalent to:
It is not known how he obtained this, but it was 300 years before anybody else could find such accurate results. It is quite interesting that Fibonacci gave the result in this way at the same time as telling everybody else to use the decimal number system!
Fibonacci sequence
Fibonacci is perhaps best known for a simple series of numbers, introduced in Liber abaci and later named the Fibonacci numbers in his honour.
The series begins with 0 and 1. After that, use the simple rule:
Add the last two numbers to get the next.
1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, 610, 987,...
You might ask where this came from? In Fibonacci's day, mathematical competitions and challenges were common. For example, in 1225 Fibonacci took part in a tournament at Pisa ordered by the emperor himself, Frederick II.
It was in just this type of competition that the following problem arose:
Beginning with a single pair of rabbits, if every month each productive pair bears a new pair, which becomes productive when they are 1 month old, how many rabbits will there be after n months?
The Golden Section
A special value, closely related to the Fibonacci series, is called the golden section. This value is obtained by taking the ratio of successive terms in the Fibonacci series:
Ratio of successive Fibonacci terms.
If you plot a graph of these values you'll see that they seem to be tending to a limit. This limit is actually the positive root of a quadratic equation (see box) and is called the golden section, golden ratio or sometimes the golden mean.
The golden section is normally denoted by the Greek letter phi. In fact, the Greek mathematicians of Plato's time (400BC) recognized it as a significant value and Greek architects used the ratio 1:phi as an integral part of their designs, the most famous of which is the Parthenon in Athens.
The Parthenon in Athens.
Phi and geometry
Phi also occurs surprisingly often in geometry. For example, it is the ratio of the side of a regular pentagon to its diagonal. If we draw in all the diagonals then they each cut each other with the golden ratio too (see picture). The resulting pentagram describes a star which forms part of many of the flags of the world.
The Pentagram.
The pentagram star features in many of the world's flags, including the European Union and the United States of America.
(Source: Flags of the world.)
Fibonacci in nature
The rabbit breeding problem that caused Fibonacci to write about the sequence in Liber abaci may be unrealistic but the Fibonacci numbers really do appear in nature. For example, some plants branch in such a way that they always have a Fibonacci number of growing points. Flowers often have a Fibonacci number of petals, daisies can have 34, 55 or even as many as 89 petals!
Finally, next time you look at a sunflower, take the trouble to look at the arrangement of the seeds. They appear to be spiralling outwards both to the left and the right. There are a Fibonacci number of spirals! It seems that this arrangement keeps the seeds uniformly packed no matter how large the seed head.
Nature uses spirals to prevent overcrowding.
Fibonacci in maths
The Fibonacci numbers are studied as part of number theory and have applications in the counting of mathematical objects such as sets, permutations and sequences and to computer science.
Further Reading
If you have enjoyed this article you might like to visit "Fibonacci Numbers and the Golden Section".
This article was based on material written by Dr R. Knott, a lecturer in the Department of Computing Studies at the University of Surrey and additional material by Dr D. A. Quinney, a lecturer in the Department of Mathematics, University of Keele.
Answer to rabbit problem
Imagine that there are xn pairs of rabbits after n months. The number of pairs in month n+1 will be xn (in this problem, rabbits never die) plus the number of new pairs born. But new pairs are only born to pairs at least 1 month old, so there will be xn-1 new pairs.
xn+1 = xn + xn-1
Which is simply the rule for generating the Fibonacci numbers.
Hybrid Fibonacci number sequence
for those that think the Fibonacci number(Fn) sequence is just a coincidence there are MANY"non" math equations and sums on the "insides".For example by combining 3 consecutive Fn creates a new Hybrid Fibonacci number that still sums in a sequence!!...btw...a "0"* is added where needed.
ex 0,1,1,2,3,5,8 become
011,112,123,235,358 etc
5813 +81321=132134
this works forwards and backwards. It also works with the "sister" Lucas numbers(Ln)sequence and of course adding 2 hybrid Fn equals a hybrid Ln and all it's variations......and yes ....they still sum to the golden ratio!!.The Fn are the most unique sequence there is.IMO it is the key to everything.
asking for more info
Hi, I like to study Fibonacci numbers and would like to ask you more about this comment, if you don't mind....pls contact me
linelites 'at' gmail.com
I knew about "The Golden
I knew about "The Golden ratio" before but never understand how and why this is applicable in "Fibonacci Sequence"...
Thanks a lot for your explanation... . Also nature loves Mathematics and it is again proved by your example.
Creating the code for secret messages to-day, how would it look like using the Fibonacci sequence and the encryption at Kryptos (CIA) super imposed on a Mobius circle? Any one, who comes up with a solution will be acknowledged in my new novel Thanks.
SIR My name is saksham goyal
My name is saksham goyal from india. we could code like this:
1st letter a as 3rd fibonacci term 1
2nd letter b as 4th fibonacci term 2
for spaces we can use 0
for very long number such as 75025 (26th for z) we can use 7+5+0+2+5 = 19
in case for same sums like 75025 and 2584(18th) we can either right full number or write 19 to base 18 or to base 26(i.e. in sub script)
in case you like this..............plz email me on email@example.com
Very interesting stuff thank
Very interesting stuff thank you
Fibonacci sequence
Its in fact the golden mean sequence used in sacred geometry. Phi is what Fibonacci used to make the mathmatical formula. He didn't invent the pattern itself. That was brought here. This pattern will be above us cosmicly to view in 2012.
So when did we see this
So when did we see this pattern, it's 2013 now and i didn't hear anything about this??
Jane @ Arraial d'Ajuda
Fibonacci sequence
Please tell more- what do you mean above us? Exactl;y when will this occur? I love this stuff!
love maths
Ive got a maths homework to research famous mathmaticians and do a presentation on one and I chose fibonacci . this has really helped me thanks a lot
