Q: How to rename JPG files with running order using Python I quite new in Python programming and i try to rename 100 files with ".jpg" extention, located in specific folder using pyhthon.
I need that the files will be renamed by running order start from number 1. This is the code i start writing:
import os,glob,fnmatch

os.chdir(r"G:\desktop\Project\test")
for files in glob.glob("*.jpg"):
    print files

When i run it, i get:
>>>
er3.jpg
IMG-20160209-ssdeWA0000.jpg
IMG-20160209-WA0000.jpg
sd4.jpg
tyu2.jpg
uj7.jpg
we3.jpg
yh7.jpg
>>>

so the code, till now is OK.
For example my folder is:

and i need that all the files name will be:
1,2,3,4 - with running order names. Is it possible with python 2.7?

A: If you simply want to rename all files as 1.jpg, 2.jpg etc. you can do this:
import os
import glob

os.chdir(r"G:\desktop\Project\test")
for index, oldfile in enumerate(glob.glob("*.jpg"), start=1):
    newfile = '{}.jpg'.format(index)
    os.rename (oldfile,newfile)

enumerate() is used to get get the index of each file from the list returned by glob(), so that it can be used to create the new filename. Note that it allows you to specify the start index, so I've started from 1, rather than Python Standard, zero
If you want this list of files to be sortable properly, you'll want the filename to be padded with zero's as well (001.jpg, etc.). In which case simply replace newfile = '{}.jpg'.format(index)' with newfile = '{:03}.jpg'.format(index).
See the the docs for more on str.format()

A: To rename all the JPG files from a particular folder First, get the list of all the files contain in the folder.

os.listdir will give you list all the files in images path.
use enumerate to get the index numbers to get the new name for
  images.

import os
images_path = r"D:\shots_images"
image_list = os.listdir(images_path)
for i,  image in enumerate(image_list):
    ext = os.path.splitext(image)[1]
    if ext == '.jpg':
        src = images_path + '/' + image
        dst = images_path + '/' + str(i) + '.jpg'
        os.rename(src, dst)

A: import os
from os import path
os.chdir("//Users//User1//Desktop//newd//pics")

for file in os.listdir():
    name,ext=path.splitext(file)
    if ext == '.jpeg':
        dst= '{}.jpg'.format(name)
        os.rename(file,dst)

Canon's New imagePROGRAF TA-20 MFP L24ei Expands Printing Capabilities for Small Businesses
MELVILLE, NY, May 14, 2020 – According to the recent Canon Print for Action survey, developed by Ipsos1, 76% of Americans say the quality and graphics of the print is what captures their attention. Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, is excited to announce the new imagePROGRAF TA-20 MFP L24ei solution. Designed to expand printing opportunities and business growth for the entry-level, low-volume customer, the 24-inch scan-to-copy/file/ multifunction printer (MFP) is ideal for small businesses, teachers, architects, engineers, as well as consulting firms.
Utilizing SingleSensor Technology2, the imagePROGRAF TA-20 MFP L24ei scanner includes integrated control panels that allow customers to operate the scanner simply and easily. This scanner technology helps to provide consistent, better color accuracy with more detail in the shadows and highlights than a staggered contact image sensor (CIS) scanner. This low-cost solution can also scan single documents into a multipage PDF.
As 44% of Americans say they hang up posters to personalize their space1, Canon implements two key features, LUCIA TD Pigment Ink and PosterArtist Lite, standard into this printer to provide customers with the opportunity to produce and design high-quality images, posters and office documents. PosterArtist Lite allows customers to easily design and print posters, while LUCIA TD Pigment Ink is able to bring these designs to life through its ability to print on a wide variety of media including water resistant media for short-term outdoor signage.
Additionally, the imagePROGRAF TA-20 MFP L24ei helps to streamline efficiency for customers. Built with productivity in mind, key features include its ability to print a 24x36 inch poster in as fast as 27 seconds on plain paper using Fast (Q5) mode3, and its air-feeding system, which helps the paper to remain level throughout the printing process in order to reduce wrinkles and paper jams. Designed with a small footprint and quiet print modes, this solution serves as a great device that can help meet the needs of small businesses.
"We are seeing the need for more advanced solutions in the entry-level, large-format inkjet market, and, in response to meet customer need, Canon is proud to deliver the imagePROGRAF TA-20 MFP L24ei for entry-level professionals," said Shinichi Yoshida, executive vice president and general manager, Canon U.S.A., Inc. "Small businesses require solutions that can promote productivity and expand their business growth, and this printer can help them do that and more."
The imagePROGRAF TA-20 MFP L24ei is now available through Canon authorized dealers, and ships standard with a total of 330 ml ink.

During the first renovation of this vacation residence a "modern cottage" aesthetic was established to reflect the island's casual vernacular and the owners' lifestyle. Light bamboo floors, expansive glass areas, white wood trim and a soothing palette were carried through to the new renovations. Added to the subtle mix was natural quarter sawn white oak ceiling paneling in the expanded Family Room and Home Office areas, as well as custom millwork in the same material and finish. Polished nickel hardware, lighting and accessories punctuate the interiors. Existing art work and furniture were integrated with new and custom designed furniture. Custom rugs and lighting were added to reinforce themes of color, pattern and material. New bath and wet bar materials combine Imperial Danby, quarter sawn oak and polished nickel accents.
The master Bedroom Suite was enlarged and the ceiling was extended up into the roof structure to create a more open volume. Two sets of French doors open out to an expanded exterior deck with a water view beyond.

What can Kobi the Great Teach us?
From poor student to superstar: In the year 2000, Kobi was a 23-year-old economics student who lived with his girlfriend Kumi in a tiny flat. Neither came from a wealthy background and they were in desperate straits. They were behind on the rent and the electricity in the apartment had been cut off as they had not paid the last bill. Knowing that although he was of slight built Kobi had a healthy appetite, Kumi entered him for a TV eating competition.
Kobi was reluctant at first, but he had little to lose, so he set about studying his rivals' tactics. He would have to outthink them – there was no way he could count on raw 'eating prowess'. To everyone's amazement he won. Then he decided to go pro. He set his sights on winning a top international event: the Coney Island hot dog fast-eating contest.
The rules were simple: the contestants were given 12 minutes to eat as many hot dogs and buns (HDBs) as possible. They could add whatever they wanted (though nobody bothered) and they could drink as much as they wanted. It was all about quantity and speed.
At the time (2001) the record stood at an eye-watering 25.125 HDBs – that's slightly more than 2 HDB per minute (and if you think this is not much, try eating more than three – take as much time as you wish…). What could Kobi do? If he were to have a chance he would have to think and practice. Kobi applied himself to the task.
When it comes to eating, most people think that there is a simple way of doing things; you take stuff and put it in your mouth. Yet Kobi started without any preconceptions. For instance: it is true that he would have to eat the whole HDB eventually, but there was no rule stating that he would have to do it in the conventional way. The bread and the sausage may taste well together, but they have a different texture and density. The sausage goes down easily; the bun is more of a problem. So Kobi ate them separately.
Kobi experimented endlessly; he measured his performance and kept a record in a spreadsheet. He videotaped his eating sessions looking for inefficiencies and ways of saving milliseconds. He experimented with pace: was it better to start slow and speed up later or do it the other way round (correct answer [a]). He experimented with the water: was it better if it was warm or cold? ([a] again). He also discovered that he could make room in his stomach by doing a kind of jig as he ate (this came to be known as 'the Kobayashi Shake').
So, after all this – did he win? Well, I wouldn't be telling you this story if he hadn't. Now – what about his performance? Did he manage 28 HDBs? 32? 38? The answer is neither [a] nor [b] nor [c]. Kobayashi wolved down an incredible 50 HDBs! (He also kept on winning for the next 5 years…) (story taken from Levitt & Dubner 2014, pp. 52-61).
Lessons for Educators: What can Kobi teach us?
Redefining the problem: One of the reasons for Kobi's success was that he started by redefining the problem; instead of asking himself 'How do I eat more hotdogs?' he asked a different one 'How do I make hot dogs easier to eat?' (Levitt & Dubner 2014 – p. 61). Trying to look at a problem from a different angle has also been used successfully in the past, as the following story illustrates.
The Moral: For me the takeaway here is this: 'Are we asking the right questions?' For instance, should we ask ourselves how to maximize students' exam results or how to increase long-term retention? Should we focus on how to make our teaching maximally efficient or how to motivate learners so they attend more classes and they make up in quantity what they lose in terms of efficiency? And what about this question: Do people come to our classes because they want to learn English or because they enjoy the feeling of belonging to a group?
Questioning received wisdom: Before Kobi entered his first competition, the world record stood at 25 1/8 HDB. It was generally thought that if someone beat that they would go up to 26 or 27. Yet Kobi refused to accept that as an upper limit since his approach was so much different from the original. Some of the most spectacular achievements in history have been the result of refusing to be constrained by traditional beliefs or practices.
The Crystal Palace: The year: 1850. The place: London. The committee for the organization of the great exhibition of 1851 was facing a problem: they did not have a venue for the event. They needed some kind of building and they did not have it. 245 proposals had been submitted and they had all been rejected. They had a small budget and very little time left. It was clear that nothing could be done. Enter Joseph Paxton. Paxton was not even an architect – he was actually a gardener! Yet he was young and resourceful and he was undaunted by the difficulties. His solution was remarkable: he constructed what was essentially a greenhouse. No bricks, no mortar, no foundations. His construction was essentially a huge glass tent. Taking advantage of the new technology of cast plate glass which enabled the quick and easy manufacture of large, uniform panes of strong glass and using a modular design, Paxton had his plans ready within two weeks. Budgeted at £85,800, his submission was about 2/3 cheaper than the others. The amazing Crystal Palace was ready in 5 months…. (Bryson 2011 – pp. 26-29).
Testing – testing – testing: A key element in Kobi's approach was experimentation: He experimented with pace, movement, water temperature etc. He videotaped his training sessions trying to find ways to improve and he kept his data in a spreadsheet (Levitt & Dubner 2014 – p. 59). Talk about professionalism… The same kind of dedicated, obsessive testing and measuring lies behind many a great success.
Sesame Street: 'Sesame Street' is a good case in point. Long-running, and hugely successful, this American TV series for children was ground-breaking. But it was not all creativity and inspiration. The producers wanted to make sure that they would be able to hold their young viewers' attention – and kids' attention span is notoriously short. So how could the producers make sure that children at home would pay attention? Trying to answer this question, Psychologist Ed Palmer came up with the 'distracter'. Children were brought into a room, two at a time and asked to watch one of the episodes the team had prepared. Next to the TV screen, there was another screen which ran a slide show. The slides changed every 7.5 seconds and showed all kind of novel things – from rainbows, to weird pictures, to Escher drawings. The question was – would the kids be distracted? Palmer and his assistants would sit through the episode and painstakingly record the little ones' responses on a chart for hours on end! If they paid attention to the show for about 85 – 90% of the time, this was fine. If the result was around 50%, the episode went back to the drawing board. Respect! (Gladwell 2000 – p. 103).
The Moral: The basic message here is that while a hunch can point us in a certain direction, it's actual testing that will show us if it's one we want to follow. For instance: Do speed reading exercises lead to better performance? Gamification might lead to increased motivation, but is this accompanied by better language learning? Is it best for students to follow a rigid study structure set by their tutor, or is a laissez-faire attitude better? The answer is – put it to the test!

Does anyone remember the (dorky) grey 'polo helmet'? I hope I'm not stepping on any project manager's toes, or that anyone advocated that silly piece of Disney. I have repressed even the memory of it. Where did we first see it, use it, and, discard it? I wholeheartedly thankfully commend the wise soul that eliminated it.
So; just fly the mission, no parachutes, no standing alert, No dork helmets. I was in.
Early on, being new to high altitude jet travel, I listened to the jet -upset-stories from training with a little trepidation, especially when I tried to get some sleep in the provided flight deck crew bunk. I would lie there with my ear just scant inches from the 500 mph air stream recounting the stories. Would I be able to help, when the ship did a slow roll and a split S or would I be pinned helpless to the bunk? Or even, would I be able to rescue the crew when the inexperienced green CP shut down my best engine?
Personally, I got over it very quickly when the C-141 proved its super reliability, and my need for sleep overpowered everything.
Speaking of that 'new guy' or the 'greenie', what was more fun than pressing the OX test button ( I think) to get a quick flash on the annunciator panel and flash the master caution warning light. You had to be able to keep a straight face and not over-do it until they caught on. You guys DID do that didn't you? Was I the only prankster(jerk)?
'That was me!' said Major Ed. ' 'That was my dad's car, I remember, because I helped you clean the wheat stalks out of your intake, and we tied you down. "'' You had a dog with you, I drove you to a motel in town and helped you sneak your dog into the motel!Fourteen years before in a small world, we meet as 141 pilots flying the line. Major Ed got the next landing.
I think it was one cold, foggy, damp night, that we were flight planning in Elmendorf base ops alongside a Pan American freighter crew. Smartly crushed 100 mission hats and a 707, I wondered how 'much-more bucks' they were taking home, than my crew.
I don't remember whether we were all allowed to take off in zero-zero conditions. Maybe this night was one notch up from zero, because we were going, take-off was to be within the hour. The Pan Am aircraft was already taxiing when our crew bus was finally loaded and headed for our 141. All the visible lights on the airport had that calm twinkling, filtered, glow, I thought of Christmas.
Our bus driver couldn't see squat, but had radio contact with the tower and we were held where we were, awaiting clearance to cross the active. We are held awaiting departure of the Boeing 707. We could hear the four engines, bursting with power and crackling in the cold air. The ghost-like form and navigation lights roared past our position on it's take off run. Away from us it went, suddenly SILENCE. As if in slow motion the entire quadrant of dark sky acquired the bright orange glow of a sunset. Nobody dared say it…we sat in silent SHOCK.
Then, an expletive, and 'they crashed'!
We silently made the crew swap, strapped in and took off.
Our big bird was so stable the turns were like magic, you held position with two fingers on the yoke, fore and aft with the power. It was so easy we quickly learned that the auto throttles and it's knurled knob would control the power with a click, click for 4 kts, one click back, and you're in position and you stay there.
It was spectacular! And, me with no camera on board, this was pre-video cams. What a shame, because the was no 'next time'. The requirements changed I guess and the routine became, take off, join up in 1 mile 'trail' position. The radar and navigator kept us in position, how dull was that!
Next came the airdrops, now it was interesting again. We could see the heavy equipment come out back, and the slight puff of dust as the 150' chutes opened. I don't know if the 141 went on to do this in real combat, but the jeeps and trucks we dropped in practice went down by parachute so many times they looked very battle weary. We were ready.
The accident investigation deduced that procedure requirements required the crew to raise the flaps to taxi out in slush. There was a lot of slush that night with the temps dropping to freezing . The requirement was intended to preclude the freezing of switches in the flap well, and protect the flap tracks and jackscrews. In T/O position, evidently the flaps were not set back down. There is a flap warning horn that sounds if the throttles are advanced for T/O that must not have worked or alerted the crew, it was surmised that it was inop or-frozen. The Boeing struggled off, stalled, and rolled.

The CEC's policies will revive our nation with economic development and growth facilitated by national banking like that of the old government-owned Commonwealth Bank. The CEC's policies will return our productive industries to health by reversing the deregulation and privatisation enacted since the Hawke-Keating era.
Together with reining in the banks' speculative practices and getting the housing bubble under control—which is easy to do with Glass-Steagall banking regulations prohibiting deposit-taking banks from gambling and fuelling the bubble—our economy will again serve all Australian citizens rather than a select few.

Last week when I moved all my stuff to Dodixie from Gulfonodi, it was a simple matter to package it all up in courier boxes and use Derranna and the Freighter Of Constant Motion to hoof it over there. Rigged ships that were cruisers or smaller easily fit in the packages as well as the non-reigged ships getting repackaged. All in all I had about 2 full courier parcels.
However, there was a number of items I had that could not be courier contracted to Derranna; illegal items like navy tags, drugs, weapons, and slaves.
Some items are not illegal everywhere in high sec. For example, Amarr Navy Tags are prefectly fine in Minmatar space. Another example is Slaves that are cause for serious retribution from the Republic while the Amarr Empire smiles and nods as they look the other way. Other items are pretty much illegal everywhere such as drugs and small arms.
Being illegal means there is a risk for travelling with them through high sec. NPC Custom Agents have a chance of scanning your cargo and if they find contraband they will fine you. I'm not sure how much but considering I had a Badger Mk II full of stuff, I was very nervous about getting caught. But I refused to leave it behind; I'm a packrat and I live everything with me.
There are rumours that high standings with the faction of the custom agents might grant you some ability to sneak by if they do scan you as they may look the other way, so travelling from Gulfonodi to Dodixie was not to bad as I have high standings with both Minmatar and Gallente factions. However, I was contemplating my lot in life on the weekend and decided that Dodixie as a high sec base was "one foot out the door" from m3 in Task Murkon and I should jump in with everything in one place so I'm not distracted off in Gallente space.
Since Derranna still had the Slowest-Ship-I've-Ever-Piloted in Dodixie and all my stuff was still in freight cans, it was a simple matter to kick her off last night down to Tash Murkon. This morning before downtime, I followed with the Badger-of-Illegal-Cargo, much more nervous since a lot of the trip was through Caldari and Amarr space where my lower faction standings with them might inspire the custom agents to take a closer look.
Fortunately, the trip was uneventful and my stuff is now consolidated in one place (with the exception of the Ninveah itself which is still being prepared for its December unvieling in Caldari space).
So here's a random: what do those "slaves", "small arms" and other illegal whatnot actually do? Are they useful in some way?
You sometimes get them from missions as left over objectives. I.e the mission objective is to bring back 10 slaves but you pick up 20 in the mission, etc.
They don't do anything except act as trade goods on the market. I simply like collecting all the weird junk I find and pretending its my entourage.
To wit, I have 84 Exotic Dancers. And 40 Marines so don't think about trying to steal any!
I'll grab a picture of my Misc Stuff some day.


P20034231832	Crossens Marsh. P20034231840	The drainage channel between the two flood banks.
Description This was a very long walk along the south bank of the River Ribble. It was mostly along footpaths on flood banks, with only short sections of road walking.
Condition I am quite tired after this walk, which is probably to be expected after such a long (for me) walk. The biggest problem that I had was rubbing on my Achilles of my right foot from the ankle brace, which was quite painful after a few miles until I repositioned it slightly. My right ankle was fine, and I had no other problems.
Weather Today was another warm day, with some sunshine and cloud and a light cooling wind. Fortunately there was no sight of any rain, and it was an ideal day for walking.
P20034231848	Looking north up the River Douglas from the A59(T) bridge. P20034231853	The flood bank heading north.
P20034231860	The bridge over the river.
On the way from the campsite to the car park at the starts of the walk we decided to drive the long way around, and drive through Southport. The town looks lovely, and I enjoyed looking at he architecture as we passed through. One of the problems with walking around the coast is that you often miss things that are only a sort distance inland, and you do not necessarily see the best parts of a town. This could be one of the reasons why I found Liverpool to be so disappointing the other day, as I saw a lot of the docks and not much of the city centre itself.
I had a hankering to do a long walk, and today seemed like an ideal opportunity to get a long walk in. As a result of this I have probably done the longest day's walk of the walk so far, and I am pleased that I managed it so well. Getting to Preston means that I am in the right place to meet a reporter from BBC Radio Lancashire for an interview first thing tomorrow morning, and this was an added impetus for me to complete the distance.
The diversion down the River Douglas was quite annoying, as it was a long diversion with very little purpose. A couple of hundred yards south of the old railway embankment (the bridge over the river has unfortunately long been removed) I found a rusty pipe bridge spanning the river. There was no ladder up to the top, but the supports looked as though they would be fairly easy to climb. After having looked at its condition, however, I decided against attempting to cross the bridge as it was very rusty and I was unsure of the condition of the walkway over the top of the bridge. I therefore continue walk along the riverbank, before diverting inland to visit Tarleton. I was in need of a rest by this stage, so I nipped into the Lord Lilford pub. I chatted to the locals for some time, and discovered that many of them use the pipe bridge across the river as a shortcut to get to Much Hoole on the eastern bank. Taking this bridge saves the three or four mile walk down the river and up the other side, but I was not devastated that I did not do this, as it allowed me to have a rest in a pub and to visit a shop.
We were watching TV in Mervan at about nine tonight when we heard a big bang on the outside of Mervan. We opened the blinds and there are three girls running away giggling. We went outside and could see no damage, but we kept the blinds half-open when we went back inside. Ten minutes later they cam back, and there was another bang as they threw something at Mervan. Sam was ready and left the van shouting at them. There were a couple of uninvolved girls outside, and I started chatting to them. They said that they liked Sam's Australian accent, and that they did not know that Australians swore!
Tomorrow I have to meet the interviewer at Preston Station at eight, and after that I am planning to walk along the north coast of the River Ribble to Lytham St Anne's, and maybe on further from there. Unfortunately this involves a long road walk along a dual carriageway to reach the start of the Lancashire Coastal Way in Freckleton, which I shall follow for the next few days.
This walk starts at a car park on the Coastal Road about two miles north of Southport. Join the road and follow it as it curves around past Crossens Marsh until a sewage works is reached on the right. Here a footpath leads off to the left and follows a flood bank down to a bridge over a little creek at Fiddler's Ferry, with a big Environment Agency building beside it. Cross the bridge and then turn left down a footpath that runs along another flood bank.
This flood bank slowly curves to the right to head northeastwards, passing Old Hollow Farm before reaching Marsh Farm. here the footpath divers to the right to head down to the main road, but I took a short cut by continuing straight on along the flood bank until it curved sharply to the left. At this point I dropped down off the bank and headed straight on over a culvert to join another flood bank with a footpath running along the top of it; this diversion saved me a walk of a couple of miles.
Follow this new flood bank northeastwards for a couple of miles, as it passes Ribble Bank Farm and reached the western bank of the River Douglas where the flood bank turns to the right to head southeastwards along the river. Continue on along the flood bank as it slowly curves to head southwards until a little boatyard in Hesketh Bank is reached. Continue on through the boatyard southwards and rejoin the footpath.
It passes under a pipe bridge that could potentially be used as a shortcut; if not then continue on southwards until the path ends just before a lock is reached. The path ends at a road; turn right down this road and when it meets another road turn left to follow it southwards into Tarleton. When the road ends at a T-junction turn left and follow this road as it curves around to the right and ends at a T-junction with the A59(T) road.
At the A59(T) junction turn left and follow the road eastwards to a bridge over the River Douglas. The road then turns to the left to head in a northerly direction to a roundabout near Carr House. Continue straight on for a few yards until a bridge over a stream is reached; here a footpath leads off to the left until the eastern bank of the river is reached. It then follows the river northwards, passing under the pipe bridge and past the abutment of an old railway bridge.
It continues on along a flood bank until it nears a public road, where I diverted off to the right to head eastwards under some power lines. Pass Lower Marsh House Farm, and continue on until a footpath is reached on the left. This footpath heads northwards along a track that head northwards towards Odd House Farm, before diverting off to the right through a couple of fields past the farm and rejoining the track shortly before it ends at a T-junction with another road.
Turn left down this road; it immediately curves to the right and then left before heading westwards under some power lines. Here a footpath heads off to the left to head westwards back to a flood bank beside the River Douglas. Turn right along the bank and follow it as it joins the Ribble Way near a pub and continues northwards to meet the southern bank of the River Ribble.
Turn right and follow the flood bank eastwards for a few miles, until it passes under a road bridge and meets another bridge. At the second bridge turn left to cross the river and at a junction continue straight on down another road, which heads straight on northeastwards for half a kilometre until Preston Station is reached on the right, where this walk ends.
This makes a total distance of 24.7 miles, with 486 feet of ascent and 404 feet of descent.
We parked Mervan outside the Cricketers Arms, on South Meadow Lane in the centre of Preston. This was quite convenient for the station, although it was not the quietest road in the world and the locals were not that friendly.


Really? I hear you say, only one?
Well guess what, that is all you need. One big fat reason to lose weight. You need your big fat reason to lose weight! You have to find your reason why.
You wouldn't start a journey without a destination in mind would you? Nor would you go without making any arrangements for the journey? What about petrol in the car? You don't want to run out and have to return home do you? Have you had the car serviced? You don't want to break down. What about a map, or sat nav so that you know where you are going? What about booking a hotel? If the journey is long enough you will need to break your journey so that you don't become too tired to continue. I'm sure you are starting to get the picture. You have to make the arrangements so that you can get to your goal! So, why do you want to lose weight? What is your compelling reason? Why do you choose to lose weight?
Maybe you are fed up with having a wardrobe full of clothes that don't fit you? Sometimes even shoes?
A special holiday, where you would like to look good on the beach?
You might be a new mum, who would like to be a yummy mummy!
Sometimes you might decide that your health is suffering or you are tired all the time. You get aches and pains that you are sure are because you are heavy.
Or maybe you just want to get rid of a problem area such as stomach, hips or thighs.
There are as many reasons why people want to lose weight as there are people!
Sadly sometimes weight loss chooses you. There are many compelling reasons for weight loss to choose you. Maybe you've had a heart attack, stroke, or other illness that the doctor has advised you to lose weight. Diabetes is one of the most important reasons for losing weight, because the benefits to help with the illness are so great.
Many of my clients come to me with no idea how to start. Habits that have taken a lifetime to become ingrained, now have to be revised and rethought. Maybe you have become so heavy that you are in constant pain? You know that you have to lose weight but your many attempts so far have not ended well. Basically you have had no plan. No route, nothing that you felt able to manage with long term. Most of the time you don't even know why you want to lose weight!
Well it's time to decide why you want it! Time to make a commitment to yourself! Time to make it happen!! But first you need a plan!
Do you keep starting with unrealistic goals? Do you keep beating yourself up for failing? Well it sounds like you need a better plan! You need to start believing in yourself. You can do anything you put your mind to if you have the right tools. And first things first, you need to know why!
Does hypnosis work for anger management? Are you a chocoholic?

Horner's re-recordings of 30s and 40s swing classics
Jurassic Shark posted a topic in General Discussion
I love the great re-recordings of classic swing music featured in Swing Kids and The Rocketeer. Has Horner recorded more swing music for use in other films?
In your opinion, is Avatar a GREAT score?
Let's settle this once and for all.
Has the score to Titanic aged well?
I recently listened to this score, after being absent from it for more than 15 years. I listened to it very much when it was fresh, and it was one of my favorite soundtracks. Now I think parts of it sound horribly dated, to the point of being cringe-worthy - I'm of course referring to some of the electronic elements. What do you think?

Dragon's Domain Presents HYPERSPACE by Don Davis
buysoundtrax posted a topic in General Discussion
http://buysoundtrax.stores.yahoo.net/hyorsobydond.html SRP: $17.95 HYPERSPACE is a limited edition release of 1000 units. FIRST 50 Copies will be autographed by composer Don Davis LISTEN TO A SOUND CLIP FROM the score for HYPERSPACE https://tinyurl.com/ybzl7437 Dragon's Domain Records, distributed through buysoundtrax.com, presents the long out-of-print orchestral score to HYPERSPACE, composed by Don Davis. One of the first feature length STAR WARS parodies, HYPERSPACE came out in 1984. Known in England as GREMLOIDS and as GREMLORDS in France and Germany, HYPERSPACE was writer/director Todd Durham's second and last film as director, working with ambitiously cost-conscious low-budget producer Earl Owensby. The movie was released in September 1984, but it wasn't until 1988 that the film received a wider release on home video. Starring comedians Chris Elliott and Paula Poundstone and filmed in North Carolina, HYPERSPACE imitates STAR WARS in context and execution from its opening text crawl into infinity to its inscrutable helmeted monarch of menace, Lord Buckethead (played by Robert Bloodworth, but voiced by Barry Cooper). Lord Buckethead is hot on the trail of vital radio transmissions stolen from the corrupt Galactic Alliance by members of an allied resistance force. Buckethead intends to get them back, aided by diminutive, Jawa-robed minions known as gremloids. However, unbeknownst to him, he has made a serious navigational error, and rather than reaching his intended destination he lands instead upon the Earth, where he and his gremloid faction march into the closest small town and proceed with their mission. A purposefully STAR WARS-esque orchestral score was provided by newly-minted composer Don Davis, in his first feature film score. Performed by a live, 56-piece orchestra, Davis's music provided the film with its missing gravitas; and it made enough of an impression among Hollywood film music folk that it led to a lasting and respectful career scoring films and television, including TV's BEAUTY AND THE BEAST and SEAQUEST DSV and blockbuster films like THE MATRIX series and JURASSIC PARK III. "Obviously the movie was a parody of STAR WARS, so the only approach to music I could logically take was similarly a parody of John Williams's work," said Davis in an exclusive new interview for the album notes. "I got as close to STAR WARS as I could get without it being STAR WARS." Davis provided the right kind of feeling to the music which gave the score a suitably grandiose dynamic and aided in the film's parodist nature. The composer's approach to supporting the film's inherent humor was based on "not writing funny music," but scoring the movie with absolute seriousness, thereby allowing the parody to exist within the film and among its characters in a world where even the most farcical of circumstances are treated with genuine integrity. "The concept of playing it straight, as if the show were not a comedy, was what we wanted to do with our movie," said Davis. "We treated it as if it really was STAR WARS and everything was completely serious." The film came and went without much ado or remembrance, but the music was noticed and that gave Davis an auspicious debut in this, his first opportunity to make the jump into… HYPERSPACE. The score was first released on an 11-track CD in 1993, paired with another Davis score. This expanded reissue from Dragon's Domain Records includes eight previously-unreleased tracks. HYPERSPACE is a limited edition release of 1000 units and can be ordered at www.buysoundtrax.com. The first 50 units sold through the Buy Soundtrax website will include a booklet autographed by the composer.

Moments where film music reaches an intuitive emotional peak
DolceMecha posted a topic in General Discussion
I was thinking about the famous "I'm flying" scene from Titanic and, in particular, the precise moment where the music reaches its emotional climax. On paper, you might expect the score to swell at the moment Jack and Rose kiss, but it actually reaches its emotional peak a few seconds later when Rose reaches up her hand to hold Jack's head closer. The moment becomes a lot more sensual and somehow more romantic as a result. I realise this is just intelligent, intuitive film scoring, but the timing of these things always fascinates me. (2:09) Another example off the top of my head is the final scene in Home Alone when Kevin and Old Man Marley share their moment through the window. One could score it so the music swells when Marley raises his hand in greeting, but Williams holds it for that little moment longer until Kevin returns the gesture, when both characters have completed their arcs with regards to each other. This video below actually has the alternate "O Holy Night" version of the cue too, and you can see the emotional journey is exactly the same in both pieces of music. (00:47) I'm curious to know if you can think of any other examples like this. Moments where the music could reach an emotional peak at one moment, but actually climaxes at another for a stronger emotional impact.

Simon Franglen / James Horner's "The Magnificent Seven" (2016)
Matt C posted a topic in General Discussion
According to Film Score Monthly, Simon Franglen is recording his score for Antoine Fuqua's The Magnificent Seven, based on themes by the late James Horner. Franglen worked with Horner on several films as arranger, score producer and synth programmer for The Amazing Spider-Man, Avatar, The Karate Kid, Wolf Totem and The 33. http://filmmusicreporter.com/2016/03/11/simon-franglen-scoring-antoine-fuquas-the-magnificent-seven/ This should be an interesting score to watch when it comes out fall 2016.

James Horner's Top 10 Pieces
Uni posted a topic in General Discussion
As I was considering the logistics of the Top 10 Horner Scores poll, I started thinking . . . while we're at it, why not dig a little deeper? We never did this one for JW, but Mr. Horner is a little more on everyone's mind right now, and a lot of us are spending some quality time digging deeper into the man's opuses anyway. I thought it would be interesting to see not only how his broader works compared to one another, but which individual compositions floated near the top in people's minds. There may be scores that don't make the other Top 10 list that have single pieces that would stand out to a lot of people here. The rules are pretty much the same here as on the other poll (post your list from mostest-favorite on down), with one extra guideline to keep in mind: what with so many different versions of some scores available out there, it would be best--though not absolutely required, I guess--to stick to OST titles and arrangements where possible. If a piece you want to list wasn't on the OST but did appear in a later release, that's fine, of course; but the point here isn't to see how various versions of the same piece compete against one another. If you like one portion of a piece but don't care for the rest, it should still be listed by the title of the entire piece, not as "the second half of 'Bird of Prey Decloaks' from 1:43 on" and the like. Naturally, commentary on these is also welcome and encouraged--and makes for a much better place to specify which parts of the piece you like best, along with the whens and whys of it. I'll publish the results of this poll at the same time as the other one (whenever that winds up being). And, like the other one . . . I haven't yet had time to sort through my own choices yet, but that's no reason to put off everyone else's tee time.
The Land Before Time Soundtrack Thread
BuzzLightyear posted a topic in General Discussion
Is there a Thread about the music of "The Land Before Time" Series from James Horner and Michael Tavera? James Horner composed the score for the first movie in 1988. I love this music! The music for all the sequels of The Land Before Time was composed by Michael Tavera. And I found the music on youtube. I like the sound of Tavera's music and I think he made a good job in this films. So what do you think about the music of "The Land Before Time" Series?

James Horner's Top 10 Scores
Someone in the "memorial" thread suggested we do our JWFan patented Top 10 poll for Mr. Horner, the same one we've done for Mr. Williams twice. No one else has volunteered yet to spearhead the project, and since I was always disappointed I couldn't put together the Film Composers' World Cup, I might as well be the one to kick things off on this. The process should be familiar enough by now: Post your ten favorite James Horner scores (or the ones you consider his best) in order, starting with your favorite first, second favorite next, etc. You can number them if you like; if you don't, I'll assume the order you place them in is how you want them scored. That's pretty much it. If you can't come up with ten you've heard, list as many as you know and like; the top spot will still be given the same score as anyone else's. We'll run this for a week or two. I'll try to keep up with the tabulation, so it doesn't take too long after time has been called to publish the results. (I haven't given deep thought to my own list yet, but I figured there's no reason not to let everyone start compiling their own.) One more thing: you're welcome to just post a list of titles if you'd like, but feel free to add some commentary on why you've chosen any or all of your scores, why you've ordered them the way you have, or even just how you react to the music when you hear it. It would make another nice memoriam for the man if we expanded on how each of us reached our conclusions.


Procurement is often a misunderstood and disregarded (unfortunately!) function of an organization. However, procurement optimization can produce a host of benefits and add tremendous value to your organization as a whole.
From a business perspective, the most obvious benefits of an effective procurement optimization are financial. Productively managing procurement – and by extension purchasing – will allow an organization to realize immediate upfront cost savings by procuring items, services, and contracts at the best price available.
Furthermore, a company will be able to properly take advantage of any warranties or discounts that are often forgotten, leading to routinely neglected, yet critical, back-end savings. A fully functional purchasing process will also allow for better visibility into company spending and budgets.
Having a strong understanding of company spending will allow organizations to negotiate better contracts with vendors, enabling a company to take full advantage of discounts that might have previously appeared unavailable to them. Visibility into spending patterns and budgets will also allow organizations the option to leverage additional cash flow by extending payment terms and forecast for the future.
Many view the procurement cycle as a one-dimensional process within an organization. However, procurement, when it is adopted widely within an organization, often leads to greater efficiency and provides for a better match with desired goods or services. An optimized purchasing process will lead to more efficient sourcing – quality goods and services delivered on time.
An up-to-date procurement process will also ensure that an organization's supply chain will be able to capably navigate through any unforeseen roadblocks (financial problems, natural disasters, labor shortage/surplus, economic volatility). When optimized, an efficient procurement process will also help in distinguishing between successful vendors from underachieving vendors.
Being able to distinguish between quality vendors will not only improve your supply chain overall but might even lead to compensation from the low-quality vendors from failing to deliver within agreed upon parameters.
Businesses are constantly being tested by their competitors – either on price, quality of good or service, or convenience. Any competitive edge might be the difference between a new customer and a lost sale. A progressive procurement process will allow an organization to seek out innovative products or services.

Providing your team with the right procurement tools enables them to improve upon the current procurement process is critical.
