Elements Of Carnatic Music
Elements of Carnatic music rests on two aspect, raaga and taala.
Carnatic music is one of the most ancient music systems in the world with its history dating back to the age old days of the Vedas. The well defined theoretical principles govern Carnatic music whilst adding to the practical and aesthetic appeal of this genre of Indian classical music.
The main element of Carnatic music is its melody. Melody in the context of Carnatic music may be explained as, "The production of any musical tone or succession of such tones or semitones, with definite frequencies, within certain parameters, whether rendered independently or in conjunction with rhythm and / or lyrics". Carnatic music is typically a melody-based system where the stress is laid on the successive combination of notes. The melodic elements of Carnatic music are very systematic in their development from the simple to more complex and then ultimately utterly sophisticated. Quit ideally therefore the main emphasis in Carnatic music is on vocal music and on tonal expressions. The elements of Carnatic music thus rests on two aspect raaga, the modes and taala, the rhythmic cycles.
Elements of Carnatic music are as follows:
: Sruti refers to musical pitch. In Carnatic music, ptch or sruti is of central concern and is an important element of Carnatic music. Every individual has a natural pitch which is his very own level or his range at which he can produce notes of best quality with optimum level of tonal ease. This becomes the fixed pitch and is called the Sruti.
: Swara refers to a type of musical sound that is a single note, which defines a relative (higher or lower) position of a note, rather than a defined frequency. Swaras also refer to the solfege of Carnatic music, which consist of seven notes, "sa-ri-ga-ma-pa-da-ni" These names are abbreviations of the longer names shadja, rishabha, gandhara. madhyama, panchama, dhaivata and nishada.
Raag System
: Raaga in Carnatic music prescribes a set of rules for building a melody. It specifies rules for movements up (aarohanam) and down (avarohanam), the scale of which notes should figure more and which notes should be used more sparingly, which notes may be sung with gamaka, which phrases should be used, phrases should be avoided, and so on. In Carnatic music, the sampoorna ragas (those with all seven notes in their scales) are classified into a system called the melakarta, which groups them according to the kinds of notes that they have. The ragas are grouped into sets of six; called chakras ("wheels", though actually segments in the conventional representation) grouped according to the supertonic and mediant scale degrees. There is a system known as the `Katapayadi sankhya to determine the names of Melakarta Raags.
Taal System
: Taal or Tala refers to the beat set for a particular composition (a measure of time). Taals have cycles of a defined number of beats and rarely change within a song. They have specific components, which in combinations can give rise to the variety to exist (over 108), allowing different compositions to have different rhythms. Tala is formed with three basic parts (called angas), which are laghu, dhrtam, and anudhrtam, though complex talas may have other parts like plutam, guru and kaakapaadam. There are seven basic tala groups, which can be formed from the laghu, dhrtam, and anudhrtam:
: Carnatic songs (kritis) are varied in structure and style, but generally consist of three units, which is Pallavi, Anupallavi and Charana. This kind of song is called a keerthana or a Kriti. There are other possible structures for a Kriti, which may in addition include swara passages named chittaswara. Chittaswara consists only of notes, and has no words. Others have a verse at the end of the charana, called the madhyamakala. It is sung immediately after the charana, but at double speed.
: This is a special item, which highlights everything important about a raga; not just the scale, but also which notes to stress, how to approach a certain note, classical and characteristic phrases, etc. Though there are a few different types of varnams, in essence, they all have a pallavi, an anupallavi, muktayi swaras, a charana, and chittaswaras. They are sung in multiple speeds, and very good for practice. In concerts, varnams are often sung at the beginning as they are fast and grab the audience`s attention.
Apart from the main elements of Carnatic music there are also four main types of improvisation in Carnatic music which plays the pivotal role in contouring this genre of music.
Raga Alapana
: This is the exposition of the raga of the song that will be performed. A performer explores the raga first by singing lower octaves then moving up to higher ones and touching various aspects of the raga while giving a hint of the song to be performed. It is a slow improvisation with no rhythm.
: This is usually performed by the more advanced concert artists and consists of singing one or two lines of a song repeatedly, but with improvised elaborations.
: The most elementary type of improvisation, usually taught before any other form of improvisation. It consists of singing a pattern of notes, which finishes on the beat and the note just before the beat and also on the note on which the song starts.
: This form of improvisation was originally developed for the veena and consists of expanding the raga with syllables like tha, nam, thom, aa, nom, na, etc.
Ragam Thanam Pallavi
: This is a composite form of improvisation. As the name suggests, it consists of Raga Alapana, Thanam, and a pallavi line. The pallavi line is sung twice, and Niraval follows. After Niraval, the pallavi line is sung again, twice in normal speed, then sung once at half the speed, then twice at regular speed, then four times at twice the speed.
The rich elements of Carnatic music coupled with the melodic improvisations offer Carnatic music an all encompassing effect whilst making this genre of music to reverberate the age old heritage of Indian music.

Family says they sold meth to feed kids
A family busted during a meth raid in Utah told police they had to sell the drug to feed eight children.
Officers in Provo found eight children under age 14 living in the home, along with meth, drug paraphernalia, scales and drug packaging supplies, Salt Lake City TV station KSL reported.
"He was looking at it as a form of income to support the family," Lt. Phil Murphy of the Utah County Major Crimes Task Force said of the grandfather, Darwin Goode.
Goode's wife and a daughter were also arrested, as well as another daughter who lives in the home, a next-door neighbor and two other men.
All seven face charges of meth possession and child endangerment.
"There are other options out there," Murphy told KSL. "This one is obviously not going to be productive for a family; an environment with children in the home has too many risks, too many dangers. It is sad someone feels like they have to earn a living by selling methamphetamine and putting children or grandchildren at risk."
The children are now in protective custody.

HIV/AIDS has emerged as a significant health threat for African American women with well-documented disparities. The purpose of this study was to assess the association between social network characteristics and high-risk sexual behaviors among a sample of urban African American women at risk of heterosexually acquired HIV/STIs. We performed a cross-sectional study of baseline data collected from the CHAT study, a randomized HIV-prevention trial targeting urban HIV-at-risk women in Baltimore, MD. Our primary outcomes were risky sexual behaviors defined as either (a) two or more sexual partners or (b) having a risky sex partner within the past 90 days. Bivariable and multivariable logistic regression examining the associations between individual and social network factors and our two outcomes of interest were conducted. The study population included 513 sexually active African American women with a mean age of 41.1 years. High levels of unemployment (89.5%), depressive symptoms (60.0%), and drug use (68.8%) were present among this high-risk urban cohort. Controlling for individual factors including participant drug use, age, and depression, having two or more sex partners within the past 90 days was associated with having a larger personal network (OR = 1.11; 95% CI, 1.06 and 1.17); more network members who pitched in to help (OR = 1.22; 95% CI, 1.04 and 1.44), provided financial support (OR = 1.33; 95% CI, 1.11 and 1.60), or used heroin or cocaine (OR = 1.26; 95% CI, 1.14 and 1.40). Having a risky sexual partner within the past 90 days was associated with having a larger social network (OR = 1.06; 95% CI, 1.00 and 1.12) and having more social networks who used heroin or cocaine (OR = 1.30; 95% CI, 1.14 and 1.49).In summary, social network characteristics are associated with HIV sexual risk behaviors among African American urban women. Social-network-based interventions that promote norms pertaining to HIV risk reduction and provide social support are needed for African American women at risk of heterosexually acquired HIV/STIs.

MIAMI—The Raleigh Group, the luxury hospitality group founded by designer and entrepreneur Tommy Hilfiger, has purchased The Raleigh Hotel, Miami Beach.
"The Raleigh Hotel is a true Miami Beach treasure with sophistication and style, making it the perfect property for us," said Hilfiger. "The 1940s design of The Raleigh and its rich history are central to our plans to rejuvenate the property. I'm really pleased with the team I've surrounded myself with and know that we will deliver a world-class experience worthy of The Raleigh brand."
David Pisor, recently appointed CEO of the company, said in a statement, "The location and position of the Raleigh in the Miami Beach marketplace is perfect for our strategy. We will invest significant resources to preserve the property's unique style while embracing the local flavors and culture that help define it."
The Raleigh will become the company's flagship property supporting future growth. Formerly owned by David Edelstein and Sam Nazarian, the Miami Beach location will continue to be managed by the Entertainment Group.

For the past few years, the talk of The Lodging Conference in Phoenix had been focused on the economic recovery, solid industry projections and "cautious optimism." With the word cautious no longer necessary, the economic outlook took a backseat this year to the seemingly unending parade of new lifestyle brands.

Sathyavathi's technical finesse and fecund manodharma were not ends in themselves but aspects of articulation of a musical genius
Dr. T.S. Satyavathi, in concert at the Indiranagar Sangeetha Sabha last week, was accompanied by Nalina Mohan (violin), C. Cheluvaraju (mridanga), and S.N. Narayana Murthy (ghata).
The classic Begada varna in adi tala was followed by Dikshitar's "Karikalabha Mukham" in Saveri, and Annamacharyas "Jaya Jaya Rama" set to Manirang raga and adi tala, providing a vivid contrast in mood and tempo. A masterful alapana of Nasikabhushani, highlighting the shatsruti rishabha and the majesty embodied in the vivadi nature of the raga, preceded Koteeswara Iyer's composition in misra chapu tala, "Thandarul Ayya", with neraval and kalpana swaras.
Tyagaraja's "Sujana Jeevana" in Khamach and Mysore Vasudevacharya's exquisite "Mama Hridaye Vihara" in Reetigowla were remarkable for the emphasis on both lyrical beauty and lilting melody. Dr. Sathyavathi's deep scholarship, technical finesse, and fecund manodharma, though amply evident, were not ends in themselves, but tools, along with her voice, for articulation of the true genius of Carnatic music. Accordingly, the elaboration of Bilahari, the main raga of the concert, was in the traditional mould and in consonance with the grandeur of the kriti that followed, Dikshitar's "Kamakshi Sri Varalakshmi" in aditala. The fulsome neraval and kalpana swaras at "Dinakara Koti Prakasa Kaaye" revealed the full scope of the raga, including its bhashanga attributes in moderation. Nalina Mohan's violin accompaniment provided apt responses to the raga alapana, neraval and the rhythmic challenges in the kalpana swaras of the vocalist. The recital concluded with a few lighter pieces.
The mutual appreciation and respect of the artistes for one another, with the tani avartana of percussionists C. Cheluvaraju and S.N. Narayana Murthy complementing the main item in style and proportion, played a major role in the success of the concert.
The Sri Parthasarathi Swamy Sabha presented 15-year-old Rithi Ramji of Chennai in a Bharatanatya recital on Sunday. Rithi's guru Nagapriya Karthikeyan, who handled the nattuvangam, is a disciple of K.J. Sarasa and an exponent of the Vazhuvoor style.
The main focus of the performance was on Lord Krishna, touching also on other anecdotes pertaining to Lord Vishnu. The pushpanjali set to Vasanthi raga and adi tala led straight to an exposition of the varnam in Shanmukhapriya, "Devar Munivar". Endowed with an expressive face and lissom figure, Rithi's gift for abhinaya, unusual in one so young, was demonstrated in the succeeding items.
The conflicting emotions of the nayika, alternating between annoyance, indignation and wistful longing in Periaswamy Thooran's composition "Thottu Thottu" (Behag), were in striking contrast to the coaxing, indulgent portrayal, brimming with vatsalya that characterised "Krishna Nee Begane Baro". The footwork and stances in the tillana (Vrindavani) were more emphatic than in the first two items and with greater experience they will no doubt acquire greater precision and clarity.
The concluding item, "Varanam Aayiram", Andals dream of her wedding to the Lord, once again established that abhinaya is indeed Rithi's forte.
The orchestral ensemble provided melodious vocal support and violin accompaniment by Girija Ramaswamy and M.S. Kannan respectively, and mridanga by Karthik.MADHAVI RAMKUMAR

Defense procurement officials have added a clause to their contracts to get prime contractors to pay their small subcontractors faster, an effort the Obama administration is pushing.
The clause requires contractors to make accelerated payments to small subcontractors after they have receipt of a proper invoice. The goal is to put money into the small firms' hands within 15 days of receiving the invoice.
"This can lead to a stronger supplier base that supports federal prime contractors in meeting the needs of their federal customers in a timely and cost-effective manner," Defense Department officials wrote in the Federal Register notice.
OMB released a memo in July that lays out a one-year temporary policy for speeding up payments. The policy is an expansion of the Quick Pay plan that President Barack Obama announced in September 2011.

Whether the effort succeeds depends on the agencies. OMB directed agencies to make contract payments faster to all their prime contractors for the next year with the understanding that those companies will pass along those accelerated payments to their small subcontractors.
In addition, OMB told departments to develop the clause language, as DOD has done, and modify some contracts, if necessary.
Beyond DOD, the Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council has recommended that agencies issue deviations to the Federal Acquisition Regulation, the governmentwide purchasing policy book. OMB wants the FAR Council to develop standard wording for a contract clause on a prompt payment policy that agencies should add to their contracts with prime vendors.
Now "DOD strongly encourages all prime contractors to accelerate payments to small business subcontractors under existing contracts to the maximum extent practicable," officials wrote in the notice.
OMB has warned that the government will be watching whether contractors speed up their payments.
"How they pay their subcontractors will be factored into who the future prime contractors are in that contract selection process," Jeffrey Zients, acting OMB director, said July 11 during a conference call about the new policy.

Sep 23, 2013Unfortunately, "Breathiac" and "Shelf", while certainly not bad tracks, fail to truly capture the momentum and impressive layers of "Same".
Sep 23, 2013Outsides is yet another strange installment in Frusciante's unabashedly weird and sometimes uncomfortably naked evolution as a solo artist.
Sep 23, 2013The stitched together samples, drum machine splatters, and foreboding synthesizers come across like the soundtrack to a particularly quick edited and terrifying lo-fi horror flick.

The recently published Green Paper on pensions was widely welcomed. Indeed, it contained some reasonable ideas. However, it also contained a proposal to abolish contracting out of state pensions. This could lead to possibly the biggest tax increase in history as well as the reversal of one of the most important post-war privatisations.
The three reasonable proposals were identical to those in a paper published by the IEA: Sharing the burden - How the older generation should suffer its share of the cuts.
These proposals were:
- To move to a position where there is only one state pension.
- To retain the contributory principle. There are serious dangers in undermining the contributory principle yet further so this is welcome.
- To link the pension age to improvements in life expectancy with the government ap

Whether young people use alcohol and other drugs in an effort to self-medicate for depression and/or anxiety, or they use because of the curiosity a peer might say about how a drug makes them feel; repeated substance use causes changes to the developing brain.

Digital stories can transform traditional writing assignments in elementary, middle and high school such as reports on current or historical events, responses to literature, reporting on scientific experiments, as well as transforming creative writing projects. Digital story telling is highly motivating for students and when used with an authentic writing purpose provides powerful ways for students to tell stories and report.
The emphasis of the workshop will be on how digital telling can be integrated with the curriculum.

Real Name

Date of Birth
April 10, 1980
Place of Birth
When WWE abruptly had Seth Rollins turning on the Shield, they had to quickly put together things for his new character. The company came up with a new entrance theme song for him to use since it would not make sense for him to use the old one. Apparently, the song was not well received by management, so a new one has already been ordered for Rollins.
June 15, 2014
In a very touching display, Chris Masters did a tribute to the Ultimate Warrior, whose death rocked the world of professional wrestling earlier this month. While working an independent wrestling show in England, Masters dressed up as Ultimate Warrior, use his theme song, performed his trademark running entrance and even wrestled the same style.
April 28, 2014
A video of the new entrance for Cesaro, which features the new theme song that WWE created for him after he split from Zeb Colter and Jack Swagger to join Paul Heyman.
April 24, 2014
Since he was quite well known during his prime, the Ultimate Warrior has a special place in the heart of many people. Upon hearing about his death, millions of people were saddened. At various sporting events, including MLB and NHL games, the Ultimate Warrior theme song was played as a tribute to the fall WWE legend.
April 11, 2014
Through Facebook, Rev Theory announced that they would be performing at Wrestlemania 30, which has led to speculations that they will be doing the Randy Orton theme song live. WWE generally does not mind spending money on bringing in musical acts to perform live at their big pay per view because it makes it feel even more special than normal.
April 6, 2014
A video of a band in New Orleans playing the John Cena theme song as part of a Wrestlemania 30 celebration.
April 5, 2014
A rapper by the name of Consequences, who happens to be associated with Kanye West, has released a new song called Follow the Buzzards, which was inspired by Bray Wyatt. The WWE star, along with Luke Harper and Erick Rowan, is featured on the album cover, and his theme song is sampled as well.
March 20, 2014
In a sign of how much the company wants to push Bray Wyatt at Wrestlemania 30, there are now talks that Mark Crozer could be brought into the pay per view to perform the Wyatt Family theme song live in New Orleans. While plans are changing on a daily basis backstage, Wyatt appears to be penciled in for a high profile match against John Cena.
February 9, 2014
Since it has been a while since he was starring in ECW and since he was never really a regularly featured performer in WWE, many fans have forgotten what entrance music Masato Tanaka utilized. In this video, you can hear the theme song that he utilized in ECW while he was feuding with Mike Awesome.
March 3, 2004
Shortly after comments online about how he makes more money working for Walmart than he did with TNA, Jesse Neal received a bit of heat from professional wrestling fans. A lot of people feel that Neal is simply bitter because he is no longer with the company and has been forced to try to make a living outside of the industry. Neal responded to those fans on his Twitter account.
April 25, 2014
"It is funny how people make fun about real jobs and wrestlers. We are human, too. I have a family to provide for. So, yes, I manned up and provide. The biggest joke of all is I get paid way more at Walmart than I ever did in TNA and on time. What a waste of time. Print that. Don't think that this is bitterness. I'm not on their show any more. Remember, I left them. They didn't leave me." - Jesse Neal talks about his new job in life

Online chat is still (and has always been) there on the charter.com site. Direct Support/CharterDirect is no longer available, but is a different entity.
mdavej I used the same configuration when I had Charter now we are on Directv. I must say Direct's DVR service is really nice we have the 5 tuner Genie.
EDIT: Never mind. If you make it through their obstacle course, you eventually get a link to live chat. They sure do make it difficult.

It turns out Wes Welker's luck at the Kentucky Derby extended beyond the racetrack and into the cashier's window.
Welker was seen at Churchill Downs with a large stack of cash and handing out $100 bills to random people earlier this month.
A spokesman for Churchill Downs said Friday that a patron believed to be a member of Welker's group was accidentally overpaid $14,898. TMZ reported that the Denver Broncos receiver sent a friend to collect his winnings for him.
Although the track sent a letter to that individual seeking repayment, the track doesn't expect to be repaid.
Welker told "The Dan Patrick Show" on Friday that he and his friends never calculated how much they were due and that they made most of their winnings at the Kentucky Derby from boxing Commanding Curve.

"Paper Testing is on its way out "

I have been working at Pearson
* Great CEO!
* Good pay
* Good work/life balance
Paper Testing is on its way out, so if you join to support the legacy paper testing process, you'll eventually find yourself looking again. Things were good prior to the Harcourt acquisition, but now incompetence is abound. Pearson absorbed their "talent" pool. They brought their baggage in a big way.
* The other plant in Iowa dictates everything
* Incompetence is abound as they don't fire anyone
Ditch the incompetent managers!

I worked at PearsonPros
great coworkers! close relationships with other assistants, lots of people who care about learningCons
no training, no advancement unless you go into sales, more work than can be done in 35 hours/week, more administrative work than editorial, little creativity, vague responsibilities, understaffed, low moraleAdvice to ManagementAdvice
It would be nice if there was a more collaborative effort across Higher Ed groups. You have a bunch of assistants here that just graduated from college--use them for feedback!Doesn't RecommendApproves of CEO
