In music, a swung note or shuffle note is a performance practice, mainly in jazz-influenced music, in which some notes with equal written time values are performed with unequal durations, usually as alternating long and short. It follows similar principles to notes inégales of the Baroque and Classical music eras. A swing or shuffle rhythm is the rhythm produced by playing repeated pairs of notes in this way. [1] Lilting can refer to swinging, but might also indicate syncopation or other subtle ways of interpreting and shaping musical time. In shuffle rhythm, the first note in the pair is exactly twice the duration of the second note. In swing the division is inexact, and varies depending on factors such as how fast or slow the music is, on the genre of music, or the individual tastes of the performer, from almost equal (typically at fast tempos) to almost shuffle (typically at slow tempos). In most styles of music that use swing rhythm, the music is written with straight eighth notes, with an implicit understanding that eighth notes should be played with swing feel. In jazz, the verb "to swing" is also used as a term of praise for playing that has a strong rhythmic "groove" or drive. See also swing (genre) for the 1930s-1940s jazz style, and swing (dance) for styles of dance from that same era.

1. Conversational hypnosis
October 27, 2009
Conversational hypnosis is a little different from conventional hypnosis and is useful with persuasion techniques through the theories of neuro linguistic programming. I will attempt to give a brief overview in this article and then recommend a higher accredited source that you can gain education from.
CONVENTIONAL HYPNOSIS Conventional hypnosis uses a monitored environment that gives total control to the hypnotizer. A “hypnotic induction” is then used to put the participant in a state of suggestibility. Now a hypnotic induction is something that you have seen in all the cliché movies an... (read more)

2. Their Futures are so Bright that They Needed Some Shade
August 19, 2009
Members of the parent-teacher organization for Point Pleasant Primary School in Leon, WV understood the benefits of outdoor play for children, but an element of that had them worried—the sun. As the children swung, slid, and climbed in the fresh air surrounding the school’s playground each day, there was no place for them to retreat from the sun’s rays. While not a problem during the winter, there are those months when shade becomes a necessity, and the Point Pleasant Junior Woman's Club heeded the call to provide it. Earlier this year, the club, which is a service organization run by volunt... (read more)

3. The Case Of The Disappearing Baskets
August 12, 2009
It was getting to be mid morning. Lyn and I had just finished having a business meeting and it was time to get Tabitha up and moving for the day. After grabbing the dirty clothes from the hamper I swung by the bathroom and picked up the dirty nappy. As I rushed the smelly fiend through the front door and out to the rubbish as fast as my feet would carry me, I felt something was missing. Looking to either side I quickly discovered exactly what. Someone had stolen the two hanging baskets Lyn and I had purchased only a week ago.
At first, I thought my eyes were playing tricks. I litera... (read more)

4. What Do You Need
July 21, 2009
The other day I read an article from a very successful fitness information guru addressing the "functional training" craze. His concern was that when someone buys training and they are asking for a weight loss solution they are typically getting more of a corrective exercise program and not a weight loss program.
He wrote...
"the fitness industry has swung so far to the realm of 'physical therapy' we are forgetting the reason why clients go to a gym or fitness professional in the first place."
and goes on to say....
"If I am a fitness professional and the client pays me mon... (read more)

5. India's oral culture & its relationship to brand building
July 21, 2009
Ever since globalization began, marketers have swung from one extreme to another while dealing with the localization vs globalization of marketing communication.
The answer is always the same: the more culturally relevant the marketing communication is, the more efficient it will be. That is in keeping with our own experience: I have heard of and seen most of the characters that feature in the new viral G for Gatorade that is being talked about in the US right now, but because I am an Indian those men and women (whether Serena Williams or Muhammad Ali) carry no emotional cache. There are ... (read more)

7. Scientific Wrestling: Strength Training for the Eons
June 09, 2009
I was first introduced to the traditional Indian gada (aka the mace) by my friend Karl Gotch a few years ago. As gracefully as Karl swung it, I was equally clumsy. I nearly knocked myself unconscious with it the first time I swung it. It was the toughest and most awkward exercise implement I had ever held. It was then and there that I challenged to master this bad boy. This killer training implement was preferred by legendary wrestlers for centuries, from the Pehlwans of India to 'God of Wrestling' Karl Gotch. Historically, the mace has had both strong spiritual and combative connotations... (read more)

10. Exploring North America
January 22, 2009
As I swung back and forth on the old wooden porch swing, I daydreamed of leaving home and traveling the world. Europe was my main destination. My grandpa sat next to me as I rattled on about seeing Rome. Quietly taking it all in, he finally looked at me and said “Be careful not to go looking for something that can be found in your own backyard.” Although I didn’t quite pick up on his meaning at that young age, I now understand what he was trying to say. North America holds exquisite beauty. Once you’re on that open road, you can experience anything from old Navajo dwellings to mountain... (read more)

16. Bleak Picture For Economy
August 06, 2008
As another volatile trading week draws to a close, it is interesting to note that almost no major stock market made any traction in either direction over the last 5 trading days.

It was a week of dire earnings figures with UK banks posting huge year on year profit reductions. Lloyds TSBs pre tax profits fell 70% while HBOS saw returns drop by an almost identical figure.

July 14, 2008
The doji is a candlestick that can be helpful tool when trying to find the tops and bottoms of a given stock. There are four major kinds of these candlesticks.
1. The first is the regular doji. This is when the stock did pretty much nothing during the day. It may have swung back and forth every now and then, but overall the security remained unchanged.

19. The Key (A Fairytale) Blue Shadows — Chapter 8: (Part 4)
June 21, 2008
My knees were shaking as I walked up to Conqueror and swung onto his back. The great horse snorted, saying that he had warned me, but I just smiled and let him lead the way. I had faced myself, and my doubts, in the temple, and I was now finally ready to face my destiny.
We traveled through an endless forest for months, forced to live off the land as there were no villages in this part of the world, and with my self-doubt now gone, my inner work improved markedly with my mind remaining in an almost constant state of calm. I thought that if I could only remain in one place without distu... (read more)

25. How To Swing A Golf Club
November 20, 2007
It's all in the swing
You may not believe it, when one performs a golf back swing, it is not just your arms. It's also more about your back swing as it turns away from your target. The club is more so being put behind your back than it is swung towards the air.
