Legend of composer's

hi dude this is a person i like so much and i wanna tell you about his first album... Yanni Live at the Acropolis, is the name of both an album and video by contemporary instrumental musician Yanni, recorded live at the Herodes Atticus Theatre, Athens, Greece, on September 25, 1993, and released in 1994. (see 1994 in music and 1994 in film). This album peaked at #1 on "Billboard's "Top New Age Albums" chart and at #5 on the "Billboard 200" chart in the same year. The film received an Emmy nomination in 1994 for "Outstanding Individual Achievement in Lighting Direction (Electronic) for a Drama Series, Variety Series, Miniseries or a Special". In a three-year television deal with PBS, the live television special was one of the top fundraising subjects for PBS, raising $13 million, with more than 750,000 home videos and more than 7 million albums sold worldwide. It has been seen in 65 countries by half a billion people, has almost continuously remained on the charts since its release, and is the second best-selling music video of all time. The corresponding concert tour of the year was "Yanni Live, The Symphony Concerts 1994". This was Yanni's first live album and utilizes the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra under the supervision of conductor Shardad Rohani, in addition to his core band. Yanni said, "Ever since I left Greece more than two decades ago, it has been my dream to return and perform at the Acropolis. This project took more than a year and a half to plan and accomplish, and I would like to thank my band and crew, and the scores of people involved in helping my dream become a reality". In a 2004 interview, drummer Charlie Adams was asked to point out which shows stood out in his mind in the last 25+ years of working with Yanni. Adams replied, "Obviously the most exciting one for me was Live at the Acropolis. Playing in front of over 10,000 people every night, right below the Parthenon in Athens, Greece. The thing that made it so exciting was it was the first time for Yanni to be playing at home in front of his fellow Greek citizens it made you feel warm in the heart for him. Also, I was playing a drum solo in front of a majority of people who did not speak English yet responded to my drums, I really felt that the drums communicated with them, you know. Like drumming and music is in fact an international language. A great experience that will stay with me the rest of my life." Similarly, keyboardist Bradley Joseph recounts, "When I reflect back over the years, one of the high points that stand out include performing at the Acropolis with Yanni. Imagine all these different cultures coming together with the challenges of language, equipment, travel, and weather problems. I still picture the police running their dogs through the dressing rooms to sniff out any bomb possibilities right before the show. People still come up to me and comment how that show has affected their lives."From this appearance and others with Yanni, violinist Karen Briggs gained the title "The Lady in Red". "Santorini" – 6:57 "Keys to Imagination" – 7:35 "Until the Last Moment" – 6:37 "The Rain Must Fall" – 7:24 "Acroyali/Standing in Motion" (Medley) – 8:51 "One Man's Dream" – 3:36 "Within Attraction" – 7:46 "Nostalgia" – 5:46 "Swept Away" – 9:22 "Reflections of Passion" – 5:22 Personnel All music composed and produced by Yanni, except "Aria", which is based on the French opera The Flower Duet and popularized by various British Airways TV commercials Orchestra: The Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra (London, England) Conductor: Shardad Rohani Band Charlie Adams – drums Karen Briggs – violin Michael "Kalani" Bruno – percussion Ric Fierabracci – bass guitar Julie Homi – keyboards Bradley Joseph – keyboards Violin duet on "Within Attraction": Karen Briggs and Shahrdad Rohani Vocalists for "Aria": Darlene Koldenhoven and Lynn Davis Production Recorded by Andy Rose.

Learn music with me

           hey guys can we learn some music, I ll teach you jus some basic without confusing you...
Shall we begin...
           Music is an art form in which the medium is sound. Common elements of music are pitch (which governs melody and harmony), rhythm (and its associated concepts tempo, meter, and articulation), dynamics, and the sonic qualities of timbre and texture.            In standard Western musical notation, the staff is a set of five horizontal lines and four spaces, on which note symbols are placed to indicate their pitch. Stave is the name for the five parallel, equally-spaced, horizontal lines which hold one or more parts of music:            The pitches indicated by the vertical position of notes on the staff are relative to a fixed pitch that is determined by the placement of a symbol called a clef at the left-hand side of the staff. you will play treble cleff in right hand            An alternative name, still used in some countries, is staff, with staves as the plural (see alternative names for different names used in different countries) you will play base cleff in left hand            At the far left of a stave, there should always be a vertical line with either small brackets as on the stave above, or with a brace which spans multiple staves (see example to the right) to group two or more staves together.            Multiple staves that are held together with a bracket or brace are often just called a "line", but this term can be confusing, so the term "system" is preferred, although this is not in very common usage. For example, if a choir leader or conductor refers to the "second line", it is not necessarily clear whether he/she is referring to the second stave or the second system The stave represents two aspects of music at once, but neither is represented absolutely or strictly: Time is represented on a stave horizontally:            Music on a single stave or system is read starting from the left and moving towards the right.When you reach the right-hand end of the stave or system, you go immediately to the left hand of the stave or system below, just as you do when reading a book. Horizontal distance is not "to scale" or consistent. It cannot be compared exactly between two different pieces of music, or even necessarily between different places in the same piece of music. In one piece of music, two inches/centimetres measured horizontally on the stave might represent 5 seconds, in another piece, two inches/centimetres might represent half a second.            Frequency or pitch is represented on a stave vertically, and notes are placed on the stave to indicate their note pitch: A high note is placed higher on the stave than a low note. A note is higher than another if it has faster vibrations, frequency or pitch The representation of frequency or pitch on the stave is not absolute. A note at one particular vertical position on one stave might not sound the same pitch as an identically-positioned note on another stave. However, the stave becomes an absolute indicator of frequency or pitch by the placement of a clef at the beginning of each stave.            This is how music is written, read and understood... these are basics... if its too technical send your comments to me...
I ll make it simple for you guys in my next post...

Learn why is it wonder???

            Hey pals, you all know taj mahal as a world wonder,now its worlds first wonder. but have you ever wondered, why it’s a wonder??? If yes, your answer would be “because it is the symbol of love” by Shah Jahan to his wife Mumtaz Mahal.
YOU ARE WRONG...
I will tell you, why you are wrong? now, let me tell you about history of taj mahal.             The Taj Mahal is a world wonder located in Agra, India. It was built under Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his favorite wife, Mumtaz Mahal.             The Taj Mahal (also "the Taj") is considered the finest example of Mughal architecture, a style that combines elements from Persian, Turkish, Indian, and Islamic architectural styles. In 1983, the Taj Mahal became a UNESCO World Heritage Site and was cited as "the jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world's heritage."             While the white domed marble and tile mausoleum is most familiar, Taj Mahal is an integrated symmetric complex of structures that was completed around 1648. Ustad Ahmad Lahauri is generally considered to be the principal designer of the Taj Mahal and he was the man behind the scene...             His plan was to build it exactly, where the water would be available through out the year.He chosed bank of yamuna for it... Do you know why???             Every material which is in the same state of temprature never fails easily (ie:fractures). This is the reason... The complete sub-structure (foundation) of taj mahal is rested on river bank so that the foundation is always wet and will be in the same temprature...             For example: take any fruit keep in freezer for a hour, the next hour take it out put the fruit inside boiling water.. repeat this procedure the fruit will decay in few hours... but try keeping it inside freezer, you can use it after a month too... the same procedure is applied here...             wooden logs (bamboo: it has a good tensile strength) are used as the footing which give a better grip towords river soil than concrete.. And huge rocks (good compresive strength) were craverd from different parts of asia which is five times bigger than the size of taj mahal were used as foundation rocks plastered with lime concrete,egg and fly ashs.. on top of which the taj mahal was built... so that the whole sub structure was wet and super structure was warm...             The plinth and tomb took roughly 12 years to complete. The remaining parts of the complex took an additional 10 years and were completed in order of minarets, mosque and jawab and gateway. over 1,000 elephants were used to transport building materials during the construction. The translucent white marble was brought from Rajasthan, the jasper from Punjab, jade and crystal from China.             This is why it took 22 years to build a wonder...and it is called as wonder because infrastructure of taj mahal can withstand any natural disaster (earthquake). It has stood 360 years without a single air crack on the walls of it...And the beauty of taj mahal is it refelects the whole image in the river yamuna when you look from a distanse.             The total cost of construction has been estimated to be about 32 million Rupees at that time which now runs into trillions of Dollars if converted to present currency rates.             But the planner and design engineer of taj mahal was killed on the completion of the project. Because Shah Jahan wanted only one taj mahal...

HATS OFF TO THE DESIGNER...

How to Enjoy Life

Life is not enjoyable only when you've taken the wrong path and slowly lost confidence, or when you are no longer happy with yourself. If this sounds like your life, you need to fix it!
  • Learn to be positive! If you keep moaning about your life, other people will only notice the bad aspects of your character and categorize you as a person who is 'Boring' - or worse!
  • Make a list of all the things you want to do and do them! I you've always wanted to audition for theater, then go ahead and do it! This will help to reduce 'hanging around' and wishing. This even applies if you want to be an astronaut : you might not effectively become one, but becoming savvy in astrophysics and space will make you realize that you're capable of it.
  • Keep trying! One of the key things that you need to remember is to never be discouraged; failure is a part of life, and it happens naturally. If you are so disillusioned that you never want to try again, at least be comforted by the fact that you made an attempt.
  • Stop doing things that you do not enjoy! Make a list of the things that you are doing that you don't enjoy, and try to stop doing them. Naturally, this shouldn't mean that you should drop out of school if you don't like studying, but you might consider working for a new company if you are constantly stressed and pressured by your job. If it's not possible to stop, try to see the positive side of those things and find ways to make them entertaining.
  • Find a hobby! might take up collecting collecting stamps or coins, or you might learn more about photography or art. You don't have to spend your entire life doing it; the whole purpose of the hobby is to vary your routine and do something worthwhile.
Don't be fooled into thinking that drinking alcohol or taking drugs will make your life any enjoyable than it is now. These only provide a brief and unhealthy means of enjoyment. Placing too much reliance on alcohol or drugs can lead to addiction, which will ultimately deconstruct your ability to enjoy life.

Quantum Computer

           Since the massive amount of processing power generated by computer manufacturers has not yet been able to quench our thirst for speed and computing capacity.Will we ever have the amount of computing power we need or want???            So next step will be to create quantum computers, which will harness the power of atoms and molecules to perform memory and processing tasks. Quantum computers have the potential to perform certain calculations significantly faster than any silicon-based computer. The idea of a computational device based on quantum mechanics was first explored in the 1970's and early 1980's by physicists and computer scientists such as Charles H. Bennett of the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center,, David Deutsch of the University of Oxford, and Richard P. Feynman of the California Institute of Technology (Caltech).            The basic principle of quantum computation is that the quantum properties can be used to represent and structure data, and that quantum mechanisms can be devised and built to perform operations with this data.            Today's computers, work by manipulating bits that exist in one of two states: 0 or 1. Quantum computers aren't limited to two states; they encode information as quantum bits, or qubits, which can exist in superposition. Qubits(quantum binary digits) represent atoms, ions, photons or electrons and their respective control devices that are working together to act as computer memory and a processor. Because a quantum computer can contain these multiple states simultaneously, it has the potential to be millions of times more powerful than today's most powerful supercomputers.            A 30-qubit quantum computer would equal the processing power of a conventional computer that could run at 10 teraflops (trillions of floating-point operations per second). Today's typical desktop computers run at speeds measured in gigaflops (billions of floating-point operations per second).            In future Quantum computers will replace silicon chips, just like the transistor once replaced the vacuum tube.Now IBM and some of the companies have made on going research in Quantum computers.            Quantum computing is still in its early stages of development, and many computer scientists believe the technology needed to create a practical quantum computer is years away. But scientists have already built basic quantum computers that can perform certain calculations; but a practical quantum computer is still years away.

LEARN TO LIVE - LIFE ON EARTH

Definition of Forgetting:
  • Cessation of memory to be had.
  • M. Cessation of affection to be had.
  • M. Neglect of something that should be kept in mind
Now I am going to ask you a question ¿ did u forget me? If you did, I m going to remember u who I was.... ¡ Hello, I am Lolek! And this is my story I I was born on 18 May Wadowaice, Poland She is my mom, Emilia was called, she went with God, but gave me the best gift, Life My parents left me very soon And I had to walk alone; good that I thought I would but ...

I was a joyful young, I liked soccer, swimming and was a very good student When I grew up I liked to do theatre, but my friends insisted I continue much they know and convinced me… I lived the horrors of the Second World War, I could not go to school by the Nazis and had not allowed us to do it secretly I surrendered my life to my friend, and everytime I wanted more… one day, I was appointed to be responsible of your company and then my life and maybe yours has changed. I had to work hard And wise supported Of all It had to use All the tools In my scope There were people who believed that I was not a normal person and wrong I made some friends… Only a few… Sometime I fell But with love, i stand up And forgive I realized that i was not lonely there were people who shared my love For other people And my love for children And for young people, who I was searching so many times,At the end they came to me I traveled and I knew you We were together many times I realized that it was Mexican! I would like to identify myself with you But the time is over… I would have liked to continue with you but it is time to see my friend And say, THE MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! I have seen people shed tears for me I have seen them very sad I have seen them suffering for me Don’t feel that u are walking alone, cause I never did! I asked for you And for your sins Keep praying to God Hand it strongly See his Greatness, compared to the smallness of the problems And thanks for being with me!!! Thanks for proving how much you need me !!!!!! Also i need you And I will be watching you I will never forget you Remember me smiling !!!!!
