    JUGGLING PROBABILITIES GREGORY S. WARRINGTON 1. Introduction Imagine1 yourself effortlessly juggling five balls in a high, lazy pattern. Your right hand catches a ball and immediately throws it. One second later, it is your left hand’s turn to catch and throw a ball. Then it is your right hand’s turn again.... Some of your throws may be low; some high. Some balls go straight up; others cross over to the opposite hand. At most times, one ball lands; occasionally a hand remains empty. But the alternating cadence of your hands is unwavering. Suppose that, while you are juggling, we momentarily pause time. Certain balls are in the air — you have already thrown them. To avoid dropping the ball, you must make catches at certain times in the future. If your previous few throws were all low, perhaps you are only committed at 1,2,4,6 and 7 seconds in the future. On the other hand, if you had just vigorously launched a ball, you might be committed at 1,2,3,4 and 10 seconds in the future. The set of “committed times” is your landing state (“state” for short). As you juggle, you wander from state to state according to what throw you have most recently made. Our goal in this paper is to answer the following Random Question. What fraction of the time is spent in any given state if every throw is chosen randomly? The answer, of course, depends on how we specify the following parameters: 1. the possible states, 2. the legal throws from a given state and 3.

Each toy included in this kit has its own story, design, and body of tricks. Most of them have a lower barrier to entry than juggling, and the following lessons of good posture, problem solving, and goal setting apply to all. Before getting started with any of the skill toys, it is important to remember to relax. Stand with legs shoulder width apart, bend your knees, and take deep breaths. Many of them require you to absorb energy. We have found that the more stressed a player is, the more likely he/she will be to struggle. Not surprisingly, adults tend to have this problem more than kids. If you have teens getting frustrated, remind them to relax. Playing should be fun! Also, remind the teens that even the drops or mess-ups can give us valuable information. If they observe what is happening when they attempt to use the skill toys, they can use this information to problem solve. Try throwing it higher, try making the circle bigger, try holding it looser.

  • IJA Festival RFP 2024 R2
    International Jugglers’ Association FESTIVAL SITE REQUIREMENTS 2024 updated 2019-08 INTERNATIONAL JUGGLERS’ ASSOCIATION FESTIVAL SITE REQUIREMENTS introduction August, 2019 The International Jugglers' Association holds one event a year, it’s a week long, and it’s awesome. If we bring our event to your city, you will love having us there, you’ll miss us when we leave, and you’ll want us to come back again soon. We are now seeking a host city for our festival in 2024. Unfortunately, no one gets paid to attend a juggling convention. Everyone coming to an IJA festival is paying their own way, and most of them are traveling thousands of miles to attend our celebra- tion. Therefore, we are laser-focused on affordability of the festi- val venues, lodging and meals for our jugglers spending the week at the IJA festival. We will consider destinations for our future festivals only if all the economic and logistical factors look promising and can offer real affordability in lodging rates. Casino resorts, beach or mountain resorts and corporate conference centers generally do not provide us with the mix of affordability, choice and facilities we need for a successful week. Please see the accompanying materials for specifics on the require- ments for our festival, and some additional background informa- tion. Please note that this festival requirements document is extensive, but there are very few “show-stopper” items in it; i.e., we can work without or around nearly any item on the list if the bal- ance of your proposal is very attractive. I would be pleased to speak to you by phone to discuss how your city and facilities can fit into our plans for a future festival, before you begin preparing a formal proposal.
