Contraharmonic mean

This request for creation has been reviewed. The result is below.

Accepted. You can find the article at Contraharmonic Mean --Elaragirl^Talk|Count 20:01, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

The Contraharmonic Mean of a set of positive numbers is defined as the Arithmetic mean of the squares of the numbers divided by the Arithmetic mean of the numbers: $C(x_1,x_2,...,x_n)=\frac{\frac{(x_1^2+x_2^2+...+x_n^2)}{n}}{\frac{(x_1+x_2+...+x_n)}{n}}where\mathrm{\forall }i{x}_i>0$
This is the same as : $C(x_1,x_2,...,x_n)=\frac{x_1^2+x_2^2+...+x_n^2}{x_1+x_2+...+x_n}$.
It is easy to show that this satisfies the properties of a Mean :
$1)MIN(x_1,x_2,...,x_n)\le C(x_1,x_2,...,x_n)\le MAX(x_1,x_2,...,x_n);$
$2)C(t*x_1,t*x_2,...,t*x_n)=t*C(x_1,x_2,...,x_n)fort>0$
Note that Property 1) implies that for all k >0 C(k, k, ..., k) = k (fixed point property).
For just two variables, a and b, taken as $0<a\le b$ it is easier to see why this mean if complementary to the Harmonic mean. In the case of just two variables the Contraharmonic mean C(a,b) is also that mean that is as high above the Arithmetic mean as the Arithmetic mean is above the Harmonic mean:

C(a,b) - A(a,b) = A(a,b) - H(a,b) or C(a,b) = 2*A(a,b) - H(a,b)

From the formulas for the Arithmetic mean and Harmonic mean of two variables we have :

$A(a,b)=\frac{tlx|(a+b)}{2}$ and
$H(a,b)=\frac{1}{\frac{tlx|1}{2}*(\frac{1}{a}+\frac{1}{b})}$ = $\frac{2ab}{a+b}$
$C(a,b)=2*A(a,b)-H(a,b)=(a+b)-\frac{tlx|2ab}{a+b}$
$C(a,b)=\frac{(a+b{)}^2-2ab}{a+b}=\frac{tlx|a^2+b^2}{a+b}$

Notice that for two variables the Average of the Harmonic and Contraharmonic means is exactly equal to the Arithmetic mean:
A( H(a,b), C(a,b) ) = A(a,b)
Also note that as a gets closer to 0 then H(a,b) also gets closer to 0. The Harmonic mean is very sensitive to low values. On the other hand, the Contraharmonic mean is sensitive to larger values, so as a approaches 0 then C(a,b) approaches b (so their average remains A(a,b) ).
The Contraharmonic mean has the property that it is higher in value than the Average and also higher than the Root mean square : $min(a,b)<H(a,b)<G(a,b)<L(a,b)<A(a,b)<R(a,b)<C(a,b)<Max(a,b)for0<a<b$ Where H is the Harmonic mean, G is Geometric mean, L is the Logarithmic mean, A is the Arithmetic mean, R is the Root mean square and C is the Contraharmonic mean. If a could be equal to b then the above $<$ signs can be replaced by $\le$. When a=b the above chain of comparisons collapses to the same value, a.
There are two other notable relationships between 2-variable means. First, the Geometric mean of the arithmetic and harmonic means is equal to the Geometric mean of the two values :
$G(A(a,b),H(a,b))=G(\frac{tlx|a+b}{2},\frac{tlx|2ab}{a+b})=\sqrt{\frac{a+b}{2}*\frac{tlx|2ab}{a+b}}=\sqrt{ab}=G(a,b)$
The second relationship is that the Geometric mean of the arithmetic and contraharmonic means is the Root mean square:
$G(A(a,b),C(a,b))=G(\frac{tlx|a+b}{2},\frac{tlx|a^2+b^2}{a+b})=$ $\sqrt{\frac{a+b}{2}*\frac{tlx|a^2+b^2}{a+b}}=\sqrt{\frac{a^2+b^2}{2}}=R(a,b)$
The Contraharmonic mean of two variables can be constructed geometrically using a trapezoid (see [1] ).
You can also construct it using a circle similar to the way the Pythagorean means of two variables are constructed.
Basically, the Contraharmonic mean is the rest of the diagonal on which the Harmonic mean lies. Their sum is always the length of the diagonal (a+b) of the circle that shows the Pythagorean means (see Pythagorean means on MathWorld at [2] ).

Franck Amsallem jazz pianist/composer

This request for creation has been reviewed. The result is below.

Franck Amsallem was born in 1961 in Oran (Algeria), and then grew up in Nice, France. His parents, having repatriated the family piano, started him on classical piano at seven, which he gave up a few years later. The large family, the cramped apartment weren’t at all propitious surroundings for the old teacher’s stale lessons. Still, however, the family owned a large collection of 45 records where Ray Charles mixed with Glenn Miller and the Four Tops. In all logic then, he was seduced in adolescence, by the sound of the blues and swing and started taking music lessons at the Nice Conservatory where, considered too old for the piano (!), he signed up for classical saxophone and soon earned a first prize.

But the piano remained his first love. Soon the news spread on the Cote d’Azur, and he worked in Monte Carlo, learning hundreds or maybe thousands of jazz standards, "I have always, above all, loved all American music," and at 17 years of age, John Lewis chose him to be his student for a french documentary "La leçon de musique". Having jammed offstage at the Nice jazz festival with Jerry Bergonzi, Mike Brecker and Richie Cole, he was then encouraged to move to the USA to hone his skills and learn. He made the move without a blink and entered Berklee College in 1981. "At 19, I did not see myself backing up pop singers in Paris and playing jazz on the side, which was what everyone was doing then. Like the song says, it was All or Nothing at All."

Franck stayed three years in Boston and earned numerous awards, performing in Herb Pomeroy’s big band and attending his composition and arranging classes. Still the longing for more excitement was always there and at the beginning of 1986, he moved to New York City.

"There are many good pianists out there, but good pianists who are equally good composers — that is what makes the difference". He then took, with Bob Brookmeyer at the Manhattan School of Music, lessons in composition for jazz orchestra, and lessons in classical piano with Phil Kawin. Their influence stayed with him for a long time. And the experience added up, the true New York Jazz Experience, as an accompanist, and then as a leader. To learn the art form of jazz like the greatest have done it before you. To confront your skills with the best musicians of their time. 2nd prize at Jacksonville’s Great American Jazz competition. 3rd prize goes to Brad Mehldau.

<>”All that was great, but a career as a leader was just too tempting.” In 1990, at 28 years of age with the help of the Fondation de la Vocation and a fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts, Franck records “Out A Day” a trio with Gary Peacock and Bill Stewart. Critics are laudatory; “There is every reason to expect excellence from this young pianist, still in his twenties, who prepared with such discipline for his first recording opportunity. The promise of good things to come is based on the considerable appeal of this recommended CD (Cadence)". “We are in danger of gushing and embarrassing ourselves. Sample this wonderful recording at all costs (Penguin guide to jazz , 4 stars -top-rating-)”. Next, Franck participates in the all-stars gathering "New York Stories" with Joshua Redman, Bobby Watson, Roy Hargrove and Danny Gatton. Then came a long collaboration with saxophonist Tim Ries. “Regards” earned four stars in Down beat, and JazzTimes found the CD “compelling”. “Is That So”, a duo reinforced by the equal participation of Leon Parker, is noted in the French press by the Inrockuptibles, and so does “Years Gone By”, with Daniel Humair and Riccardo Del Fra. “On Second Thought” is heralded as a CD of rare intensity, a live recording from a working band where everything comes together successfully without a hitch.

Franck has performed in many of the big festivals, from Juan les Pins to Pori, Nice to Molde. He has brought his trio to faraway countries such as Uruguay, Mexico, Sweden, the Czech Republic (2004), Croatia, the Ukraine, Norway, Palestine, Switzerland, Belgium, Armenia, Lebanon, South Africa, Bulgaria, etc..., has also backed Gerry Mulligan, Charles Lloyd and Harry Belafonte, recorded with Bobby Watson, Roy Hargrove or Joshua Redman, and performed in the bands of Maria Schneider, Rick Margitza, Jerry Bergonzi and Joe Chambers, has composed numerous pieces for big band, for strings and for chamber orchestra. His suite "Nuits" for jazz quartet and string orchestra has been performed in Romania, Bulgaria, France and in Los Angeles. "I love the variety of situations, learning as you go along, challenging every solution, nothing ever preset."

In the fall of 2003, Franck returns to the trio with "Summer Times" (Nocturne/Sunnyside) featuring Johannes Weidenmuller on bass and Joe Chambers on drums. Jazzman ("This recording aims for a perfect balance in every sense of the word"), Telerama, JazzTimes ("...laid-back yet brash, simple yet complex, unassuming yet confident and above all original') all praise the new effort.

2005-6 saw Franck perform in the US (Washington D.C., NY), a nine-city tour of South Africa and neighboring countries, Israel, Holland, Croatia, Portugal, Spain, Armenia, Lebanon... In the fall, Nocturne released "A week in Paris", a Billy Strayhorn tribute featuring Elisabeth Kontomanou and Stephane Belmondo ("disque d'emoi" jazz magazine, 4 stars Jazzman).

Purple Sitcky Salvia

This request for creation has been reviewed. The result is below.

Sources

Salvia divinorum is a plant from the mint family and a species of sage that is used for its psychoactive effects. Salvia is endemic only to the Mazatec region of the Sierra Madre mountains in Oaxaca, Mexico, also known as the Sierra Mazateca. Given the right dose, individual, set and setting, it produces a unique state of "divine inebriation" which has been traditionally used by Mazatec healers and prophets. This inebriation is quite different from that of alcohol. Salvia is both similar to, yet different from, other drugs that affect the brain and behavior. In many ways, Salvia divinorum is a uniquely "magical" herb. Salvia, along with it's active princliple salvinorin-A, is very difficult to categorize pharmacologically as it does not fit well into any existing pharmacological class. Salvia is NOT a recreational drug in the way that other drugs like alcohol and marijuana are used. It is definitely NOT a party drug. But can be the best inner party. Salvia is best used by those wishing to explore deep meditative states, spiritual realms, mysticism, the nature of consciousness and reality, or even the possibilities of shamanistic healing.

Douychebag

Douychebag is a commonly used noun that is often misused in popular culture. The most frequently used definition among the masses is often in a derogatory sense, most times meaning lacking tact or social skills (often misspelled as 'douchebag'). However, the true meaning is derived from the physical sciences, and was coined by polish physicist Grbic Czertys to describe the hypercharge phenomenon.
