Feel like singing but not too confident? Want to develop your repertoire and learn new styles? Ever fancied trying your hand at writing a song?
Whatever your interest or ability, we'll have something to suit you. We have a range of song classes, suitable for those who have never sung before to more experienced singers.
Taking Your Singing Further
Running from Term 2 2020
This daytime class is aimed at people who've been in a singing group for a while and would now like to take their singing further, for example singing in a small group or solo, leading a song or singing in a session.
It will be a friendly and informal space in which to share and learn more, with input from the tutor and also a chance to try out your own ideas in a supportive setting. The programme for the class will be constructed out of the interests of the students who enrol.
Topics covered could include: talking about where we get our songs and what they mean to us; learning more about start notes, keys etc; learning how to look after our voices; building our confidence to try something new; taking a turn to present a solo song; harmonising and improvising; arranging and performing a song in a small group.
Some comments from last year's class:
"A great group of people and a good leader who shared lots of experience."
"I really enjoyed sharing songs with the others in the group, listening to their songs and giving feedback. The progress we all made was amazing to see."
"What I found useful – warm up exercises, singing with others, singing rounds, performing to a sympathetic audience and getting their feedback, learning about intervals and harmony."
"I enjoyed being able to sing the songs I like, especially when people joined in the chorus."
"Lovely sessions – oases of calmness and supportive cameraderie!"
**Please note – this class was cancelled on Tuesday 14th January and will run from 21st January to 31st March with a mid term break on 11th February**
Times: Tuesday at 10.30am-12.30pm Morningside United Church
Tutor: Mary McCann
Scottish Song & Beyond
A lively, fun and friendly group learning great traditional songs. This class focuses on training the voice through enjoyable exercises and rewarding harmonies, without the need to read music. We are continuously building on our repertoire to include songs from Ireland, Africa and elsewhere, spending much of class time learning new songs and harmonies. Suitable for complete beginners as well as experienced singers – there are different degrees of difficulty in the class so that you can work at a pace which suits you.
This well-established class fills up quickly!
Times: Wednesday at 10.30am-12.30pm St Michael's Church
Tutor: Robyn Stapleton
Songwriting in the Tradition
**This class will not be running in Term 2 – please contact the SMG office if you planned to enrol**
The class will search out the stories and memories of friends, family and neighbourhoods, and draw upon these to make songs. An enthusiasm for doing this is as important as the ability to play a musical instrument or being clever with words. We can use tunes from the tradition, just as Burns did, or we can make our own. We can work together as a group, as smaller groups, or as individuals. The class will be supportive and hardworking.
Times: Wednesdays at 7-9pm James Gillespie's High School
Room: 2.25
Tutor: Scott Murray
Sing Together
This flourishing group learns a wide variety of traditional Scots songs.
We learn by ear, with easy and enjoyable voice warm-ups, simple rounds and games to build confidence, and a chance to try harmonies. The atmosphere is relaxed, warm, welcoming, sociable and musical.
Songs include Burns songs, seasonal songs, songs of celebration, Edinburgh songs, songs from the Scottish Traveller tradition, work songs, children's songs, songs your granny loved, songs from contemporary songwriters, songs from other traditions…
The class has organised several successful socials and has performed in the community. All ages of adult singers welcome, both beginners and experienced.
Times: Thursday at 10.30am-12.30pm Christ Church Centre
Tutors: Kirsty Law

For Immediate Release, January 30, 2012
Contact: Noah Greenwald, (503) 484-7495
Senate Republicans Attempt End Run Around Obama's Rejection of Keystone XL
Controversial Pipeline Would Worsen Climate Change, Hurt Endangered Species
WASHINGTON— Less than two weeks after President Barack Obama rejected the Keystone XL pipeline, Republicans in the U.S. Senate today introduced a bill that would allow Congress to approve the controversial project. The pipeline would transport dirty tar-sands oil from Canada to Texas, perpetuate the global climate crisis, put wildlife and wild landscapes at risk of oil spills and create additional dependence on tar sands, one of the most polluting types of fossil fuel.
"President Obama made the right decision when he rejected the Keystone XL pipeline," said Noah Greenwald at the Center for Biological Diversity. "Republicans in Congress need to stop wasting precious time doing the bidding of Big Oil and address the climate crisis and create long-term jobs in a new, clean energy economy."
Keystone XL would transport dirty tar-sands oil 1,700 miles across six states and hundreds of water bodies, posing an unacceptable risk of spill. An existing pipeline called Keystone 1 has already leaked 14 times since it started operating in June 2010, including one spill that dumped 21,000 gallons of tar-sands crude. The pipeline would directly threaten at least 20 imperiled species, including whooping cranes.
Extraction and refinement of tar-sands oil produces two to three times more greenhouse gases per barrel than conventional oil and represents a massive new source of fossil fuels that leading climate scientist Dr. James Hansen has called "game over" for our ability to avoid a climate catastrophe. Strip mining of oil from Alberta's tar sands is also destroying tens of thousands of acres of boreal forest and polluting hundreds of millions of gallons of water from the Athabasca River, in the process creating toxic ponds so large they can be seen from space.
"Keystone XL would be an environmental disaster and create few permanent jobs in the process," Greenwald said. "Instead much of the oil will be exported — even as the pipeline deepens our dependence on the fossil fuels that are polluting our air, land and water and driving the global climate crisis."

America may be bitterly divided along lines of have and have-not, political partisanship, and whether the new Jane's Addiction album is the musical equivalent of the gray-haired guy in the club rocking a screen-printed blazer and optimistically hitting on all the college girls, but there's one thing we can all pretty much agree on: Talk-show hosts are, generally speaking, the worst. But who is the worst of the worst? According to a poll conducted by SodaHead, there's no question that it's Rosie O'Donnell, who topped the list of "Worst Talk-Show Host Ever" with a landslide victory of 61 percent, with every other talk-show host in history coming nowhere close to the level of hatred she evokes. The results placed O'Donnell—currently singing showtunes and making jokes about Spanx and menopause on the Oprah Winfrey Network—far ahead of her closest competitors, Jerry Springer and Star Jones, who tied at 11 percent apiece, and should be forced to settle this in a prolonged slap-fight.
And while some may claim that the hatred for O'Donnell is just conservative bias rearing its head against her outspoken, Bush-hating liberalness, SodaHead also notes that even 42 percent of people who self-identify as "liberals" dislike her, so there. (They do not, however, break the results down by percentage of Asian respondents, which also might have been helpful.) Bringing up the rear on the worst talk-show hosts of all time, in decreasing order of how much people hate them: Wendy Williams, Dr. Phil, Pat Sajak, and Jenny Jones, who is probably just happy to be mentioned on the Internet today.

Announcing symposium on same-sex marriage
Continuing with our summer symposia, for the next two weeks SCOTUSblog will be hosting an on-line debate on the topic of same-sex marriage. Although neither the federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) nor California"™s Proposition 8 (now embodied in Article 1 Section 7.5 of California"™s Constitution) is currently before the Court, challenges to both have been percolating in the lower courts in California, Massachusetts, New York, Connecticut, and elsewhere and are likely to reach the Court soon, even if not this Term.
During this symposium, guest bloggers will weigh in on how the Court is likely to approach the question of same-sex marriage. Authors will consider, among other things, whether the issue of same-sex marriage is ripe for the Court"™s review, what standard of review the Court should use if it does reach the merits, and how the Court"™s decisions in cases such as Romer v. Evans and Lawrence v. Texas will affect its views on the constitutionality of DOMA and Proposition 8, as well as broader questions about federalism and religious liberty.

Carl's Jr.®
Carl's Jr. Expands Line of Popular Guacamole Bacon Burgers
Sep 24, 2008
To Be Honored As Official Burgers of the California Avocado Festival
CARPINTERIA, Calif. – September 24 – It's not easy to make really good guacamole, which may explain why Carl's Jr.® is the only fast-food chain to have had so much success with guacamole-topped burgers and chicken sandwiches in the past that it made the Guacamole Bacon Six Dollar Burger® a permanent menu offering in 2003. Carl's Jr. prepares its guacamole fresh daily, mixing real salsa – also made fresh every day – with real avocado, and starting today the chain's customers can order from a full line of Guacamole Bacon Burgers, including the single, double and Six Dollar Burger varieties
"Carl's Jr. has always had great success introducing menu items that deliver more authentic tastes and flavors than our competitors would ever attempt," said Brad Haley, executive vice president of marketing for Carl's Jr. "So, we naturally wanted to prepare guacamole like people do at home, with real avocados and fresh salsa, to make our Guacamole Bacon Burgers taste like something you'd be more likely to find only in sit-down restaurants. It's that kind of quality that helped get the Guacamole Bacon Burgers selected as the official burgers of the California Avocado Festival, and those people know good guacamole when they taste it!"
Already hailed as "Best Burger 2007" by Best of Citysearch, the Guacamole Bacon Burgers will be feted as the official burgers during the 2008 California Avocado Festival. One of the largest street festivals in California, the Avocado Festival takes place in Carpinteria, Calif., home to Carl's Jr. corporate headquarters.
"We are proud to name the Carl's Jr. Guacamole Bacon Burgers the official burgers of the California Avocado Festival. We are especially excited to celebrate it from right here in Carpinteria," said Gary Dobbins, president of the California Avocado Festival. "We are the third largest avocado producing region in North America and the festival is a great place to celebrate and sample the fruits of our labor."
The 22nd Annual California Avocado Festival kicks off October 3 and is a free three-day celebration of avocados in downtown Carpinteria. The event includes 30 food booths, 40 musical and entertainment acts on three stages and more than 70 arts and crafts vendors. The event even includes a guacamole competition. For more information, visit www.avofest.com.
The Guacamole Bacon Six Dollar Burger features a charbroiled 100 percent Black Angus beef patty topped with guacamole, two strips of bacon, two slices of pepper-Jack cheese, Santa Fe sauce, red onions, tomato and lettuce on a seeded bun. Carl's Jr. will also now offer a single Guacamole Bacon Burger as well as a double Guacamole Bacon Burger version. Price for the Guacamole Bacon Six Dollar Burger is $4.99 a la carte, $3.29 for a single, and $4.29 for the double. Prices may vary.

Pirates fall short in exhibition finale
Starling Marte hits grand slam for Bucs
Pirates starter James McDonald was tagged for four runs and three hits in the first inning, and the Pittsburgh Pirates lost to their Double-A Altoona affiliate 8-6 in their final exhibition game Saturday.
Starling Marte hit a grand slam in the second that tied the score at 4. Russell Martin also had two hits for Pittsburgh.
McDonald left in the second, but all the damage was done in the first after the Curve sent nine batters to the plate. The right-hander gave up three walks, a wild pitch and a two-run double just inside the right-field line by Carlos Paulino.
It wasn't the outing that the Pirates' No. 3 starter was looking for heading into the season after struggling in the second half of 2012.
The exhibition at People's Natural Gas field, the first between the Pirates and Curve, took place before a stadium-record crowd of 10,116,
Several former members of the Curve now play for the Pirates including second baseman Neil Walker, all-star outfielder Andrew McCutchen and starting pitcher Jeff Locke.
Before the game the Curve, the Pirates double-A minor league affiliate since 1999, extended its partnership with the Bucs through the 2018 season. The Curve also announced it would host the 2014 Eastern League All-Star game.
The Pirates will have a public workout Sunday afternoon at PNC Park before Monday afternoon's home opener against the Chicago Cubs.

Straight from the American Film Market, we've got the first promo poster for the sci-fi pic Young Ones. The film is director Jake Paltrow's (yes, the brother of Gwyneth) first since his 2006 feature directorial debut The Good Night. While info on the pic is scarce, the film is said to have Elle Fanning attached to star in a story set in the not too distant future where water is a scarce commodity (per Ion Cinema). The film centers on a cowboy grieving over the death of his father when he finds out that his father's killer has just moved in with his sister. Greenberg and The Squid and the Whale writer-director Noah Baumbach may or may not be producing the pic, which sounds like an intense character drama highlighted by touches of sci-fi. The promo poster boasts the tagline "Not all children have a childhood" and features a young boy carrying a gun, against a desert-like landscape augmented by what looks to be a large robot/machine. Hit the jump to check it out.

The White House has reportedly begun testing smartphones from Samsung and LG, perhaps indicating that BlackBerry may soon lose one of its most high-profile customers.
Testing is only in the early stages at this point, but the White House internal technology team and communications agency are testing Android devices from the two South Korean phone makers, according to the Wall Street Journal, which cites an unnamed source.
The implementation of Samsung or LG phones is still months away, but this is the first indication that the White House is preparing to move away from using BlackBerry.
"We can confirm that the White House Communications Agency, consistent with the rest of the Department of Defense, is piloting and using a variety of mobile devices," a Defense Department spokesman told The Journal.
For now, there are no indications that President Obama will be switching out his BlackBerry, the Journal said. But as pointed out by the Verge, Obama will be in office until 2017, which could be enough time for his office to test and approve the use of devices other than those made by BlackBerry.
Upon entering office in 2009, Obama famously fought to retain his ability to use his BlackBerry. But the world has changed since then, and these days having a BlackBerry isn't what it used to be. The Canadian company has fallen on tough times and seen its dominance of the smartphone market taken by Apple and Android devices.

I've been called a lot of names, but "a Christmas miracle" is a new one for me.
And yet, there it was last week on my computer screen when I told my cousin Judy that I'd be able to drive out to Pennsylvania for her twenty-fourth annual Christmas Eve party. With geographic distance and a rapidly growing clan came the need for holiday celebrations that once fit around a (very long) table to separate into two. I hadn't seen Judy's side of the family in years, and when I walked through the door, a cheer erupted, followed by hugs and kisses all around and a running squeal from my little cousin Clover.
The family was gathered around the kitchen counter, and someone quickly offered a stool and pushed a glass of wine into my hand. There was a round-robin of catching up until the cries of the kids could no longer be ignored and we all dove under the tree to dig out our gifts. On the pine needle-strewn floor, I found a bag with my name filled with a kaleidoscope of kitchen tools. Over cake, Clover and I assembled glow-in-the-dark necklaces.
Bedtimes drew near and the crowd thinned out. As we approached midnight, just a few of us remained. Over the last drops of wine, we packed food into containers and neatly fit them into the refrigerator like a 3D Tetris game. And then the real catching up began. There were stories about my father as a kid, about lives reinvented, about family members I'd never had the opportunity to meet. Apparently my great-grandmother Lillian used to watch TV with a blanket around her legs because she didn't want the anchorman to look up her skirt. Classic. Just classic.
I woke up the next morning in a red and green haze. I hadn't heard Santa overnight, but I had no problem blaming him for the few forkfuls of cake that disappeared before I got the coffee brewing. Judy, her husband Michael, and I shared a lazy morning and then I showered (in a tinsel-bedazzled bathroom) and got back in my car to drive home.

If staring at a computer screen is as bad for your eyes as they say, J!NS found just the right place to set up its latest vending machine.
The eyewear company plopped one of its new eyeglasses dispensers right in the middle of this year's Tokyo Game Show. These aren't just any eyeglasses; the J!NS PC models in the machines are specially designed to protect your eyes when looking at an electronic screen.
Several of the touchscreen vending machines opened in Japan this summer, including a brand new one at Kansai International Airport. The company is planning to set up 50 more of the so-called J!NS Self Shops around the country. Different styles and colors are priced at ¥3,990 and ¥5,990, payable by credit card.
The company's slogan is "Glasses that can see the future." Are they seeing the future of retail?

The Braid Society was founded in 1993 and it has grown since then to include members from across the UK and many other countries. The Society aims to promote the education and practice of the art and craft of making constructed or embellished braids and narrow bands.
All appropriate interests are encouraged and membership is open to everyone. Members include professional craftsmen, teachers, collectors, researchers, authors, perpetual students and people who are just interested in the craft.
Techniques include Japanese braiding (Kumihimo), Peruvian braiding, ply-split braiding, inkle weaving (narrow band weaving), cord making, loop braiding and other finger-manipulated work, lucet, braiding with tablet weaving, and sprang.
The Society is an online organisation, however practical events include an annual residential weekend at Westhope College, Shropshire. Study days, workshops and visits of interest are also offered. Regular "Come and Try" days are held at various locations in the UK giving members and other interested people an opportunity to meet up, see braid work and exchange ideas. Please see the Events area for more information on what is coming up in your area.
Braids and Bands is a discussion group moderated by the Braid Society and primarily exists to provide members with information about Braid Society activities. Non members of the society with a genuine interest in braids and bands are also welcome to join this group. Members can ask questions about any narrow ware technique, or share details of their latest project. Items wanted or for sale can also be advertised. This document Instructions for Groups_io gives step by step guidance for joining and using the service. This Braids and Bands group is hosted by Groups.io.
There is also a Braids and Bands group on Facebook which is also open to non members of the society and is moderated by the Braid Society. For Braid Society Members there is a separate group on Facebook that is used for communicating Society information.

There are more than 50 million Americans aged 62 and older who are prime targets for financial exploitation, both by persons they know and by strangers. You may be one of these targets. Get information about how to avoid such exploitation and how to help others in this article.
Fraudsters are constantly looking for victims. Older ones may be less active in offensive and defensive activities, and as a result are often more vulnerable to financial exploitation than in their prior years. So what position should they be taking to withstand such an assault?
Do these things to minimize the risk of financial exploitation
- Establish strategic relationships. Often, the first step to take as we age is to establish and maintain a good relationship with your community bank. Community bankers are in position to know you, and to offer you helpful suggestions on how to structure account ownership and disbursal requirements. Incessant conversations do not make the relationship, but neither does a single meeting at the branch office.
- Get educated. Inform yourself of available resources and also common pitfalls. One good resource is the "Money Smart for Adults" program produced by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Both the FDIC and CCPB offer instructor-led training and very helpful documents that include contact information to local and regional assistance. Individuals can enroll in this program, and so can institutions. If you are evaluating elder care facilities, you might inquire about their programs and education on the topic of financial exploitation.
- Make a plan. Your plan should include a financial plan, also a caregiver plan that contemplates proper funding. Remember that money is the grease that helps to keep your life functioning smoothly. So don't make it hard for your caregiver to care for you, neither make it too easy to abuse the privilege.
The important thing to remember, whether your vantage is from that of the senior or the caregiver, is that a successful aging transition requires good education, trusted advisors who help formulate the strategy, warm relationships with care-givers, and a strong support base. When your family and community banker are among that select group the right things can be done because they are properly funded, in every sense of that word.
It sounds trite to say these days, but for what it's worth Peoples Bank cares about its community – the people and their families and their economic success. We remain committed to people, especially those whose many years merit respect and care. Let us know how we can help you and your family.

Down the Ryan, in a Scion (yeah)
And I'm flyin', but it's cool, I got insurance
On the run, because I got warrants (ayy)
But it's cool I got endurance
In school I got suspended, but in turn I got some earnings
Could've spent it all on Thursday, but I saved it for my parents
But I spent a bit on Friday, in the night I hang with Donald
And I'm tired of McDonald's, want a chick that cook Chicano
That can't speak a lick of English
And pronounce my name like "Chano"
She say "something, something" Spanish
I look back like, "Bitch, I-I know"
Toni-i-ight, I'mma make decisions for li-i-ife
Take some Lucys, Boomers

That's that shit right there that I don't li-i-ike
There, that shit, just had to say
Shouts to the niggas that passed away
And shouts for the niggas that's here right now
And shots at the niggas that got away
So sad to say, but it's all good
Niggas gon' celebrate, and wait for the day
And wait for the day shit detonate, with Alizé
Like live from the Chi', it's Saturday ni-i-ight

Used to have some patience, now it's all gone
Force feed these motherfuckers eatin' foie gras
Force feed these motherfuckers not a rockstar
I'm a say my piece, these other rappers lockjaw
I don't think they like me (I don't think they like me)
I don't think I'm icy, I think I'm aight, B
Niggas wanna fight me? That's unnecessary
I don't quit for shit, that's my legendary

Oh, I think dey like me, oh I think dey like me
Oh, I think dey like me, oh I think dey like me
Oh, I think dey like me, oh I think dey like me
Oh, I think dey like me, oh I think dey like me

Ishan was demonstrating all the photographs to the relatives and they were all glad to see that. They began teasing him. While seeing this Aparna considers her past.
The scene starts with Gautham getting some information about his adoration with Vidhya. Seenu was irate however puts on a show to let him know that Gautham needs motivation to leave Vidhya. Seenu lets him know that on the off chance that he is truly worried about Vidhya's life he wouldn't have hitched him and it demolished 3 individuals' life. Gautham proceeds with that there is no misstep on Vidhya's end yet she endures and he needs to see her upbeat and asks Seenu whether he can keep her cheerful constantly. Seenu was tranquilly listening to his discussion.

LEARNING SEMANTIC TYPES AND RELATIONS FROM TEXT by Dirk Hovy A Dissertation Presented to the FACULTY OF THE USC GRADUATE SCHOOL UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (COMPUTER SCIENCE) August 2013 Copyright 2013 Dirk Hovy

|NLP applications such as Question Answering (QA), Information Extraction (IE), or Machine Translation (MT) are incorporating increasing amounts of semantic information. A fundamental building block of semantic information is the relation between a predicate and its arguments, e.g. eat(John,burger). In order to reason at higher levels of abstraction, it is useful to group relation instances according to the types of their predicates and the types of their arguments. For example, while eat(Mary,burger) and devour(John,tofu) are two distinct relation instances, they share the underlying predicate and argument types INGEST(PERSON,FOOD). A central question is: where do the types and relations come from? ❧ The subfield of NLP concerned with this is relation extraction, which comprises two main tasks: ❧ 1. identifying and extracting relation instances from text ❧ 2. determining the types of their predicates and arguments ❧ The first task is difficult for several reasons. Relations can express their predicate explicitly or implicitly. Furthermore, their elements can be far apart, with unrelated words intervening. In this thesis, we restrict ourselves to relations that are explicitly expressed between syntactically related words. We harvest the relation instances from dependency parses. ❧ The second task is the central focus of this thesis. Specifically, we will address these three problems: ❧ 1) determining argument types ❧ 2) determining predicate types ❧ 3) determining argument and predicate types. ❧ For each task, we model predicate and argument types as latent variables in a hidden Markov models. Depending on the type system available for each of these tasks, our approaches range from unsupervised to semi-supervised to fully supervised training methods. The central contributions of this thesis are as follows: ❧ 1. Learning argument types (unsupervised): ❧ We present a novel approach that learns the type system along with the relation candidates when neither is given. In contrast to previous work on unsupervised relation extraction, it produces human-interpretable types rather than clusters (published as Hovy et al., 2011b). We also investigate its applicability to downstream tasks such as knowledge base population and construction of ontological structures. An auxiliary contribution, born from the necessity to evaluate the quality of human subjects, is MACE (Multi-Annotator Competence Estimation), a tool that helps estimate both annotator competence and the most likely answer. ❧ 2. Learning predicate types (unsupervised and supervised): ❧ Relations are ubiquitous in language, and many problems can be modeled as relation problems. We demonstrate this on a common NLP task, word sense disambiguation (WSD) for prepositions (PSD). We use selectional constraints between the preposition and its argument in order to determine the sense of the preposition (published as Hovy et al., 2010; 2011a, Tratz and Hovy, 2009). In contrast, previous approaches to PSD used n-gram context windows that do not capture the relation structure. We improve supervised state-of-the-art for two type systems. ❧ 3. Argument types and predicates types (semi-supervised): ❧ Previously, there was no work in jointly learning argument and predicate types because (as with many joint learning tasks) there is no jointly annotated data available. Instead, we have two partially annotated data sets, using two disjoint type systems: one with type annotations for the predicates, and one with type annotations for the arguments. We present a semi-supervised approach to jointly learn argument types and predicate types, and demonstrate it for jointly solving PSD and supersense-tagging of their arguments. To the best of our knowledge, we are the first to address this joint learning task. ❧ Our work opens up interesting avenues for both the typing of existing large collections of triple stores, using all available information, and for WSD of various word classes. More generally, it provides insights into semantic problems such as dynamic ontology construction, semantic representation design, inference, and semantic analysis (part of the work on PSD has been used in a semantic parser Tratz (2011)).

How do canaries learn to sing?
askpari ♦ March 13, 2009 ♦ 2 Comments
Young canaries learn to sing by taking, "singing lessons" from older birds. People keep canaries for their songs, and because they make cheerful pets. They are given singing lessons. People who raise canaries take great care in training them to sing. They notice that the male canary is the best songster. The young canaries imitate …

Hi , I want someone to recommend a really good book about windows server. I know there a lots of books out there, but i'm looking for one that describes all important for ws, like ac ,how things work and s.o. ,but not in tons of pages, only essentials.
Another book that i'm looking for must be about deployment scenarios , but with real examples and again only essentials, like what structure to choose , how to deploy, how many servers i need , what to install on diff servers, why, how to organize the network, this may be diff book (what kind of switches i'll need and so on .
i hope i get my point, very essential things that explain why thing must be done one way or another.

Green lush paddy or rice fields, a scenery of crop cultivation that is now diminishing here in kerala the south Indian state..The state of kerala now buys more rice than the amount cultivated here..Anyway the cereal which is believed to be originated in China is now a major south Asian countries food menu. Paddy has many advantages over other crops for it can grow in semi aquatic conditions than good land soil. Paddy is regarded a crop which has stable demand and comparatively less price tag..
For grown in marshes rice fields are resistant to weeds and pests related to land crops. The only thing have to be taken care of is on irrigation.. No matter that countries that have major part of them as rice fields already have good irrigation projects in the form of small check dams canals and water bunds.. Rice cultivation big enemy is the Drought and, as am writing this, major part of India is facing severe drought conditions and heavy loss of crops..
Japan is a place which has a major advantage of acidic soils from volcanic activities ideal for rice fields. China has the record of making record harvest from a hectare using super-crop rice seeds..
close shot of the paddy field.. i like the greenery here.. and you know, places aside paddy fields will give you cool steady winds throughout and it feels much refreshing.. The water flowing through small channels for irrigation in the rice fields keeps making that sweet sound and adding to the cool wind its nice to rest beside a paddy field..Hmm look for a shade of coconut trees beside it, watch for ripe coconuts before sitting in the shade.. else, am sorry..your ill fate!!
paddy fields with coconut trees beside..you know what, paddy has the advantage of long storage life than other crops..The processing of paddy to make the rice, includes three steps of harvesting - thrashing(gets brown paddy)- milling(gets the white broken or whole rice white and semi brown).. The whole process gives husk which is used for feeding cattle and bran also used for cattle feeding , as the bye products..
The green paddy fields..Its not yet near to harvesting.. May have to wait few more months to the budding of paddy straws..The main factor that makes farmers to stop the cultivation of rice here in Kerala is the less return compared to cultivation costs and risk of droughts hitting the country unexpectedly.The weather conditions are such that nothing can be predicted.. even the weather reports making terms may or may not rain!!!
People here turning to other crops like tapioca, and some people filling paddy fields with soil and planting rubber, while some others just making homes over the filled paddy fields..Eventhough the government of kerala puts some initiative to stop the filling of paddy fields, rice fields are slowly diminishing from our culture.. Kerala has the place Kuttanad of Alappuzha district which is famous for rice cultivation and the place is often termed as the rice storage of Kerala..

Be back here in time friends.. will be waiting for you..

I'm using the latest MAGMA 1.4.1 and I noticed that for all examples in testing_dgetrf_gpu M is multiple of 32 i.e. the matrix size is set to LDDAxN where LDDA is ((M + 31) / 32)*32. When I try using the function from my application with M sizes that are not multiple of 32 it crashes (no error message just segmentation fault). I here set ldda simply to M. Is this a known limitation of dgetrf? I reviewed the function documentation and could not find anywhere mentioning such restriction.
My wrapper function looks like:
Code: Select all
/// Computes and returns the LU decomposition of d_A
* Computes and returns the LU decomposition of d_A
inline void deviceDgetrf(double* d_A, size_t m, size_t n) {
magma_int_t info;
magma_int_t *ipiv;
size_t min_mn = (m < n) ? m : n;
magma_malloc_cpu((void**) &ipiv, min_mn);
magma_int_t ldda = m;
MAGMA_ERROR_CHECK("magma_dgetrf_gpu", magma_dgetrf_gpu(m, n, d_A, ldda, ipiv, &info));
Best regards,

Submariners like to say there are two kinds of ships: subs and targets. The Pentagon's futurists want to turn that aphorism on its head, and develop a new kind of surface ship that can turn a sub into a target. Naturally, the sub-hunter won't have a human on board. Here's how it's going to work.
The video above is a new promotional piece of machinima (do people still say that?) released by the defense contractor Science Applications International Corporation, which has a $58 million contractwith Darpa to build its unmanned sub-hunter of the future. That maritime robot, called the Anti-Submarine Warfare Continuous Trail Unmanned Vehicle, or ACTUV, doesn't exist yet and won't for years. But here SAIC at least sketches out how the long, thin and "radically different" ACTUV can keep surface ships from becoming targets.
The really interesting thing here is how different the surface-gliding ACTUV is from the now-familiar drones that litter the skies. Even the longest-flying drones can only stay in the air for 30 hours or so. SAIC intends for this thing to stay on a hunt for 60 to 90 days.
What's more, SAIC is designing the ACTUV to be way more autonomous than contemporary drone aircraft: After a sailor powers it up and helps guide it out of port, she can go on a long vacation while the ACTUV speeds out to the open water to use its long-range acquisition sonar and other advanced sensors to scan for submarines, while automatically steering clear of any nearby surface ships.
Assuming SAIC isn't over-promising (much), the sonar pods underneath the belly of the ACTUV create an acoustic image of a submarine and pursue it at high speed – although that's something that can only happen when the ACTUV gets fairly close to its quarry. (More on that in a second.) Once the ACTUV thinks it's got something, it pings nearby Navy ships through a satellite link. If a sailor thinks the ACTUV has made a mistake, he can convey that back to the unmanned ship and it'll move on.
If not, the ACTUV operates alongside the fleet, with coordination not often seen with aerial drone tactics. SAIC apparently wants the ACTUV in constant communication with a mothership and Naval aircraft that would fly overhead and drop sonar charges to hunt the mystery sub, with the ACTUV speeding along to keep pace with the swift submarine. SAIC seems to intend for the ACTUV to follow the sub back to its home port (!) if necessary, or until a human in the fleet commands it to break contact. The ACTUV, in case you were wondering, isn't armed.
How all this will happen isn't yet clear. The subs that really give the U.S. Navy pause are cheap diesel-electric models, which are technologically puny compared to the Navy's nuclear-powered subs but can be much quieter and harder to track. Russia sells them; Iran claims to have them. SAIC's video suggests that the ACTUV can't actually find the diesel-electric sub on its own: The scenario here depends on a Navy commander suspecting there's an enemy sub in the area and deploying a P8 Poseidon surveillance aircraft (successor to the P-3C Orion) to drop sonar buoys to find it. The ACTUV sprints out in a certain pattern while "predict[ing] that long-range sensors will be able to completely envelop" the area where the sub might be "and prevent successful evasion." So not an exact science, but its sonars are said to get more precise the closer the ACTUV gets to the suspected sub target.
The on-board hardware described generically in the video relies on "collected data and sophisticated logics" to "infer the intent" of watercraft. So that should at least make the ACTUV cognizant of any sizable metal thing that seems to be tracking a Navy ship. And if SAIC is right that the ACTUV can really hear the diesel-electric subs, then that enemy sub really may become the ocean's newest target.

From sad news to good for Center for Enrichment
This is a letter to tell a story about the Chestnut Hill Center for Enrichment (CHCE) – some of you still call it the Senior Center – the name doesn't really matter, but the tale does.
At the beginning of 2009, we were told that we would have to move from our Crittenden Street site. We looked around and found that we could not afford any of the rents off Germantown Avenue let along on it.Then I met with Richard Snowden and told him our plight.
He suggested that we move into his property at 8431 Germantown Avenue – I thanked him and said that would be wonderful, but we could only afford the rent (a minimal fee) we were paying on Crittenden. He decided that we would pay that same amount. So, in March, 2009, we moved into our jewel of a home – the home, by the way that Bowman had painted, the floors re-done, and a kitchen and bathroom installed for us. We were in heaven!
During the months since that time, we struggled with paying our bills, but we managed. In November, 2010, the board looked at finances, and decided, with regret, that it was time to close the center. The downturn in the economy had finally trickled down to us, and we had not received funds from three foundations to which we had applied. The writing was on the wall. So, on Nov. 21, we mailed letters to our members telling them of the decision. They were sad and somewhat disbelieving.
Then came the best news of all – three anonymous donors, acting separately came forward to give us the money we needed. A meeting with Mr. Snowden had been set for Dec. 1 to discuss our moving out; instead, it became a meeting to ask if we could remain at 8431, as we now had the funds to stay open. He, not only agreed, but said as his contribution, he would like us to be rent-free for 2011. Could it get any better for us?
The next night, at a special board meeting, the vote to remain open was unanimous!
In closing, I want to thank all the angels that have flown into our lives – the three donors, Mr. Snowden, and all those in the community who believe that there is a need for the CHCE.
We are open for business, and invite you to come visit us and see just what we do!

Grateful for community support
Bob Gallagher called Chestnut Hill home for all of his 86 years. He was born in nearby Erdenheim. He raised his family in Chestnut Hill, worshipped in Chestnut Hill and called Chestnut Hill home.
He touched the lives of his patients and was equally touched by their lives. Dr. Bob practiced dentistry here for more than 58 years. Many Chestnut Hill residents first met him as patients but soon became fast friends. Bob loved Chestnut Hill and the many people he called friend.
These past few weeks have been difficult for me but I want to express my heartfelt thanks to all our friends and the entire Chestnut Hill community, for the outpouring of love and respect shown me and our family during this challenging time. The love displayed for this gentle man just reinforces what he and I have known for a long while; there is no place like Chestnut Hill.

Doesn't need Kindle
Hugh Gilmore's investigation into the Kindle is appropriate for a bibliophile. Certainly people who travel a lot will find it useful, and the young who relate to everything electronic certainly "need" the Kindle. I, on the other hand, see no need to be au courant. I am perfectly satisfied with the service of the Free Library of Philadelphia, Ben's creation.
At no cost, I reserve the books I want to read at the library and within a short time receive a letter from the Central branch when that book has been delivered to Lovett (in Mt. Airy).
When I go to pick up my book, it's exciting. I don't remember what I've requested. Will it be the latest Elmore Leonard or the book recommended by a buddy? Will it be fiction or non-fiction? What's in store for me for the next few days?
If the Philadelphia system doesn't have the book I want, they will find it for me some place else. I once was delivered a book from Yeshiva University. The Philadelphia library reached all the way to northern Manhattan to satisfy my request.
True, this isn't instant gratification, but the price is right and the savings considerable if you read better than a book a week, as I do. Perhaps there is a message for young people: relax; you can't always get what you want when you want it. But then, who wants to listen to the "wisdom" of an old lady?

A good turnout
I just wanted to drop you a note to thank you for the nice article you wrote in the Chestnut Hill Local ("Acclaimed Chestnut Hill novelist at library Dec. 8," Dec. 2 issue). I really appreciated the time you took with that. We had a good turnout for the reading, and I think people were grateful to have heard about it through the paper.

I just got a chance to read the article Lou Mancinelli wrote about RockStar Crystal Gallery & Wellness Center (Dec. 9 issue), and I wanted to send a note to say thank you. I had a great time meeting with him and really appreciate the extra attention he paid to various details and research.
I also wanted to thank the editor for calling me to double check on details. It is good to know the minds behind the Local's writing are so present and attentive to those things. It makes reading the paper even more enjoyable. Much gratitude.

Former Dodger Willie Davis found dead in Burbank home
Former Los Angeles Dodgers center fielder Willie Davis was found dead Tuesday morning in his Burbank home, police said. He was 69.
Authorities said that a neighbor who usually brought breakfast to the former baseball star's Victory Boulevard home found Davis' body.
The case is being handled by the Los Angeles County coroner, but authorities said there was nothing to indicate foul play and that it appears that Davis died of natural causes.
Davis, an All-City athlete in several sports at Roosevelt High School in Boyle Heights in the late 1950s, became one of the Dodgers' early stars after the team moved to Los Angeles from Brooklyn in 1958. Known for his offense, Davis played center field for the Dodgers for 13 seasons starting in 1961. He hit in a team record 31 consecutive games in 1969 and batted .305 or above three years straight in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
But he also committed a World Series-record three errors in one inning against the Baltimore Orioles in 1966.
Davis left the Dodgers in 1973. His last season in the major leagues was in 1979 with the Angels.
After baseball, Davis made headlines in 1996 when he was arrested at his parents' home near Gardena for allegedly threatening to kill them and burn down the house unless they gave him $5,000. Davis was armed with a set of throwing knives and a samurai sword, officials said.
The Times will have a full obituary later in the day.
The Times' Mike Hiserman offers an appreciation here.

Oakland Raiders Waive LB Aaron Curry
ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) - The Oakland Raiders waived linebacker Aaron Curry two weeks after activating him to the 53-man roster. The team announced the move Tuesday.
Curry played two games after being activated from the physically unable to perform list. He committed two personal fouls in his first game and was only on the field for three defensive and five special teams snaps last week against New Orleans.
Curry, the fourth overall pick by Seattle in 2009, was acquired in a midseason trade last year for a seventh-round pick in 2012 and a conditional fifth-rounder in 2013.

Signia Hearing Aids: Clinically Proven High-Tech for Effortless Listening
With Signia hearing aids, hearing impaired persons can understand easily and listen with less effort.* In certain hearing situations, they can hear even better than those with normal hearing.** This has been proven in clinical tests.
Over the course of a typical day, there are many hearing situations in which it is difficult to understand – even for those with normal hearing. On a loud train platform or on the street. In the office, when everyone is talking, in a busy café or restaurant. When a telephone conversation is almost impossible due to wind, reverb or background noises. For the hearing impaired, this often means: I can't hear a word, even with hearing aids.
High performance also in complex listening environments
Not so with Signia hearing aids. They were specifically developed to enable clear understanding and facilitate listening in these cases as well. The hearing aids in both ears continually exchange the audio signals that they receive. Is this a voice? Where is it coming from and how far away is it? Is it overpowered by background noise? The hearing aids assess the information and process it together, automatically and unnoticed by the wearer. This way they can focus entirely on the respective conversation partner and clearly emphasize his or her voice. Their performance in very noisy situations stands out from the rest, clinically proven,** thanks to its high-tech inside.
Less listening effort day-to-day
This is a pleasant relief for hearing aid wearers. Previously they often had to concentrate intensely in order to understand everything properly. This caused many hearing impaired persons to be exhausted after a long day. However, Signia hearing aids make listening easier to such an extent that the listening effort is significantly reduced. This has been clinically proven too*.
* Study conducted at the University of Northern Colorado, 2015, examined the effectiveness of the new features of primax by collecting and analyzing ongoing EEG data while subjects performed speech testing. For both primax features SPEECH and EchoShield, the objective brain behavior measures revealed a significant reduction in listening effort when the feature was activated.
** Two independent clinical studies have shown that binax can even exceed normal hearing in certain challenging hearing situations (University of Northern Colorado, 2014; Oldenburg Hearing Center, 2013): Speech Reception Thresholds (SRT) in cocktail-party situations improved up to 2.9 dB for wearers with mild to moderate hearing loss using Carat binax or Pure binax hearing aids with narrow directionality, compared to people with normal hearing.

"Empowering the Asian community with knowledge and implementation of early detection of breast cancer."
Asian Breast Health Outreach Project (ABHOP) reaches out to the underserved Asian population in the Dallas and surrounding counties, minimizing the barriers that keep Asian women from fully participating in early detection of breast cancer by bringing breast health awareness in Asian languages to Asian communities. By providing free education that could be understood and mammogram services with Asian speaking staff to those in need, Asian Breast Health Outreach Project makes a difference in the lives of women in the Dallas and surrounding areas.
Asian Americans represent a wide variety of languages, dialects, and cultures as different from one another as from non-Asian groups. Asian Americans have historically been overlooked due to the "myth of the model minority": the erroneous notion that Asian Americans are passive, compliant, and without problems or needs. The effects of this myth have been the failure to take seriously the very real concerns of this population.
More than 1 million Asian Americans live at or below the federal poverty level.
Asian American women have the highest life expectancy of any other group. Only 48.5 percent of Asian and Pacific Islander women 50 years and older in the U.S. have had a mammogram or clinical breast exam within the last two years, the lowest rate of screening among all racial/ethnic groups.
Cancer is the number 1 cause of death among Asian Americans. Factors contributing to poor health outcomes include language and cultural barriers, stigma associated with certain conditions, and lack of health insurance.
By breaking the language, knowledge, and cultural barriers, the goal of Asian Breast Health Outreach Project is to equip Asian women with knowledge to lead healthier lives.
Asian Breast Health Outreach Project is sponsored by:
