Mallorca's Capital Palma Launches Year-Round Tourism Campaign
Provisional 2011 data shows air traffic for Palma at 22,726,459 passengers, a 7.6% increase on 2010. With Mallorca on a high, Palma this month launched a public-private "Palma 365" campaign to encourage year-round tourism to this Balearic city.
Initiated by Palma's Councillor for Tourism, Francisca Bennassar Tous, Palma 365 aims to develop new ideas and offers to attract winter visitors as well as ensuring that its virtues are recognised by a wide international audience. Public institutions such as the Port Authority and AENA (Airport Authority) have joined forces with private companies such as Air Berlin and Iberostar who have been enticed to participate on the promise of widespread PR offered by IMTUR (Municipal Institute for Tourism). Each business has pledged several thousand euros to Palma 365 with Palma Council matching this private sector investment creating a total of 3.6 million euros for the year.
Stephen Dight, Managing Director of Mallorca Sotheby's International Realty, comments, "Of course in the broadest sense Mallorca will always be known for sun and beach tourism, and that's what keeps the cogs of the Island's economy turning, but it does have plenty of other personalities. With many people preferring several mini breaks as opposed to one fortnight abroad, Palma stands out as a perfect destination for a winter weekend of music, art, culture, fiestas, wellness, shopping and cuisine. Meanwhile its vast marina sustains year-round nautical activity and some of Mallorca's most sought-after golf courses, such as celebrity-favourite Golf Son Gual, are within just a few kilometres of the City's boundaries. Throw in mild winters with very little rainfall, this January we've had temperatures well into the 20s, and you can see why Palma 365 makes so much sense."
Featuring high on Palma 365's list of the City's best attractions are the Copa del Rey sailing regatta renowned as the most important in the Mediterranean with 120 boats participating in 2011, "BiciPalma"
Agenda Palma 365 will be attending exhibitions and trade fairs across key European cities with the intention to attract both business travellers and holidaymakers. Sportsmen are another target market for the Island and already in January 2012 Mallorca has played host to the Premiership'

Barack Obama, NAACP and Jay-Z Prove Blacks Are Not Homophobes
Uncle Luke, the man whose booty-shaking
madness once made the U.S. Supreme Court stand up for free speech,
gets as nasty as he wants to be for Miami New Times. This week, Luke
explains why blacks are cool with gay people tying the knot.

When he announced that he backs gay
marriage, President Barack Obama killed the old stereotype that most
African-Americans are homophobic. Today, more blacks than ever --
about 39 percent, according to poll by the Pew Research Center --
have no problem with people of the same gender getting hitched. That
compares to just 26 percent in 2008. And now that the NAACP and Jay-Z have echoed
Obama's sentiment, you'll see the number rise. The greatest
rapper alive was on the money when he said prohibiting same-sex
marriage is "no different than discriminating against blacks."
I've supported it for years. The real dilemma facing this country is that not enough people are getting married. The number of heterosexual single and divorced folks is outpacing the number of married couples. Too many straight men and women are married to their jobs and not focused on building families.
So I find it funny that the party of "family values" is so intent on stopping one group of people from forming families. Republicans such as presidential candidate Mitt Romney and radio blowhard Rush Limbaugh complain the government interferes too much in the lives of private citizens. But they want the government to dictate who you can and cannot marry. When it's an issue they oppose, they suddenly become communists.
They are a bunch of hypocrites.
Limbaugh, who accuses Obama of waging war on marriage, is the Genghis Khan of holy matrimony. He has gotten divorced three times. Then there's Romney. His religion was founded on a belief that a man should have multiple wives. But he goes around proclaiming that marriage is between one man and one woman.
I bet Mitt and Rush are a couple of kinky freaks too. They probably have a bunch of Latex suits, chains, and whips in their closets. I'm sure Rush loves watching girl-on-girl porn, yet he wants to stop girl-on-girl weddings.

It's 30 feet deep, hand-dug and just 1 feature of this Gettysburg home
This is the Klingel house on the Gettysburg battlefield. The National Park Service gave News 8 an exclusive look at this historic home, which was being restored at the time.PHOTO: Steve Dubransky
The Klingel house is located on Emmitsburg Road Ridge near the Peach Orchard (which was recently replanted), where fierce fighting took place during the battle from July 1 to July 3 in 1863.PHOTO: Steve Dubransky
On July 2, 1863, Union General Joseph Bradford Carr (pictured) and his men fortified themselves inside the home.PHOTO: Library of Congress
Bradford's men actually knocked out the chinking in the log walls to fire on the Confederates. On July 3, just a day after Bradford's men holed up here, they were out, and the Confederates were using the house to shield their artillery, which they used to fire on Pickett's Charge.PHOTO: Steve Dubransky
This shot of the home was taken before the restoration started. At the time of the battle, the home had exposed wooden beams. Later they were covered …PHOTO: National Park Service
... this part of the home was also a later addition.PHOTO: National Park Service
The addition has been removed and the beams are once again being restored and exposed.PHOTO: Steve Dubransky
Here's a Library of Congress photograph of the house some time after the battle. No date was provided, but it's clear that the house had changed since the battle. The addition is present and the log beams are not exposed.PHOTO: Library of Congress
The oak beams aren't just being exposed. Some of them are also being replaced. The lighter colored logs seen here are new. Great attention has been paid to the wood. The home was built with Gettysburg oak. The replacement logs are also Gettysburg oak.PHOTO: Steve Dubransky
This photo shows some of the original notched-wood construction that was in use in the 1800s.PHOTO: Steve Dubransky
The Klingel House has a useful future ahead of it. When finished, the home will be used to house some National Park Service employees.PHOTO: Steve Dubransky
More than $340,000 in stimulus funds have gone to the restoration.PHOTO: Steve Dubransky
While some of the outbuildings around the Klingel house were razed, this one remains. It's the original smokehouse.PHOTO: Steve Dubransky
Here's a look at the shingle roof on the smokehouse.PHOTO: Steve Dubransky
There is another very interesting feature outside the home. If you look at the lower left hand side of this image, you can see it.PHOTO: Steve Dubransky
A lid is kept on for safety.PHOTO: Steve Dubransky
Once removed, you can see a deep, hand-dug well. It dates back to the time of the battle.PHOTO: Steve Dubransky
The well is 30 feet deep.PHOTO: Steve Dubransky
Not only was it dug by hand, the stones were stacked by hand.PHOTO: Steve Dubransky
The construction is as true today as it was 150 years ago. It's not known how many soldiers may have drank the water during the draining fight.PHOTO: Steve Dubransky
It's a long way down.PHOTO: Steve Dubransky
Now it's time to go inside the home -- a rare treat. This home is not open to visitors, the National Park Service gave News 8 an exclusive look at the interior.PHOTO: Steve Dubransky
This is a look at an original door just inside the home.PHOTO: Steve Dubransky
This window over the front door is original.PHOTO: Steve Dubransky
There are signs of the battle inside the home. Some bullet holes have been patched.PHOTO: Steve Dubransky
More patching.PHOTO: Steve Dubransky
This is the first floor fireplace. Fireplaces served as more than atmospheric touches in 1863. They were the heating system -- as well as stove and oven in a house.PHOTO: Steve Dubransky
This is a look down the chimney at the ash pit.PHOTO: Steve Dubransky
And this and the following photos are shots up the hand-built chimney.PHOTO: Steve Dubransky
This photo illustrates some of the renovation work -- it's a contrast of old and new. The door frame on the right is original, the wall to the left is not.PHOTO: Steve Dubransky
The dimmer original floor is seen in this photo.PHOTO: Steve Dubransky
Time to head to the second floor.PHOTO: Steve Dubransky
It's a squeeze when you head up the Klingel House stairs. An average sized man has to hunch over to make it up.PHOTO: Steve Dubransky
This is one of the bedrooms on the second floor.PHOTO: Steve Dubransky
This is the bedroom window.PHOTO: Steve Dubransky
And here is a closeup of the second-floor bedroom fireplace.PHOTO: Steve Dubransky
There's another 1860s-esque feature in this room. You can see it just to the upper right of the fireplace. That's the corner of a food warmer.PHOTO: Steve Dubransky
Food could be kept in here. The cabinet is next to the fireplace and chimney which keeps the cabinet nice and toasty.PHOTO: Steve Dubransky
Here's a look up the chimney.PHOTO: Steve Dubransky
This may be a bullet hole on the second floor. It's unclear whether someone fired from below or above.PHOTO: Steve Dubransky
Now on up to the third floor, which is really an attic. It's another tight fit.PHOTO: Steve Dubransky
The Klingel attic is quite different today. It has a little something called -- insulation. With NPS workers living here after the renovation, this a modern convenience that will be most appreciated come winter.PHOTO: Steve Dubransky
And there's other work going on in the attic.PHOTO: Steve Dubransky
New beams are supporting the roof. The new ones, lighter in color, are being put into place right next to the darker originals.PHOTO: Steve Dubransky
Here is one of the exposed wooden logs in the attic.PHOTO: Steve Dubransky
This is the Klingel house on the Gettysburg battlefield. The National Park Service gave News 8 an exclusive look at this historic home, which was being restored at the time.PHOTO: Steve Dubransky

How exactly is this a scam
SUBMITTED: Monday, August 12, 2013POSTED: Monday, August 12, 2013
The 1$ is normally a authorization charge, This way if you were a scammer trying to get something for NOTHING then your fake card would be caught. This isnt a scam, they just expect to be paid for a service that they are rendering. Ppl expect to get paid for work performed, as you would I can assume. So its not a scam, just ppl attempting to collect money for a service you wish them to perform.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
This will depend on how the property interests are held. If the property is held by several owners as "joint tenants" or "JTROS" then no, you cannot separately sell your interest to the bank without the permission of (and perhaps a revision of the deed by) the other co-owners. If, on the other hand, the interests of the various owners are held in "tenancy in common" then each owner is free to sell or otherwise deal with his/her interest on their own.
Please consult an attorney directly before taking action. This answer is intended for general information only and should not be taken as legal advice. My communication with you is not privileged and is not within, or intended to create, an attorney-client relationship. Pursuant to Circular 230 of the Department of Treasury: (1) no written statement to be provided by me relating to any Federal tax transaction or matter is intended to be used, and no such statement can be used, for the purpose of avoiding penalties that may be imposed on the taxpayer, and (2) such written statement may not be used by any person to support the promotion or marketing of or to recommend any Federal tax transaction or matter.Ask a similar question
The nature of your property interest will govern whether you are free to dispose of your ownership. If the property is held in a joint tenancy, or a joint tenancy with rights of survivorship, then most probably you will need approval of the other joint tenants. If the property is held in a tenancy in common, you are most likely free to dispose of your interests as you see fit. I agree with Mr. Mack's answer. I suggest your bring all documentation concerning your father's bequest to an attorney for an evaluation of your specific situation. I wish you the best.

Depending on how title is held, you may be able to do so. However, no "bank" is going to want it or the headache. Are you talking about a private investor?
I may be guessing or not licensed in your state. No atty/client relationship exists. I earn my living collecting points for "helpful" answers.Ask a similar question
I am entertained by my learned colleague's brief response, so I apologize for taking the humor out of it by explaining.... Assuming you have an actual fee (the lawyer word for a present interest in real property). Let's assume it isn't a remainder after a life estate or a trust expectancy or a survivorship interest. Most assuredly, you need a competent NJ lawyer to read the Will and run a short title search before you know that, but let's just assume ... so long as you remember the old joke about what assumptions make of "u" and me.
Even if you have a fee, who would buy it? Who would lend on it? They can't live there. They can't sell it without litigating with your sister over partition rights. They probably can't even collect on it if your sister fails to pay the taxes without filing an action for waste, if they can monitor the situation successfully.
But, if you found a banker to buy it, let us know who. I hear there is a bridge for sale from Elizabeth to Staten Island..... ;-)
Reading an answer on the Internet does not create an attorney-client relationship. You are represented by me when we have both signed a retainer agreement (on paper or electronically) and some money has changed hands.

Man says argument over car led to deadly shooting
ATLANTA - Investigators are trying to determine what led to a deadly shooting in northwest Atlanta late Monday night.
The incident happened in the 2500 block of Etheridge Drive around 9:45 p.m.
The victim's cousin told Channel 2 that a fight started after an argument over someone leaning on a car.
"He was the only one left, laying flat on the ground, and that's when we knew he was shot," Duwon Robinson said.
So far, police have not released any information about an arrest in the shooting.

Rolling, Boiling Over the Edge
Anger, tangible in the tense room,
the sense of somebody being sentenced to doom,
a palpable temperament fissioning thro' the air,
the sudden ripping, the frantic closing of the tear.
Nobody's crying, not right now, not any eight
seconds from now, not when it almost seems like fate,
but even though its appearance takes the form of something
doesn't mean it is, and the sight of a bronze polished ring
on his finger only serves to make him angry. But he
needs to learn that she doesn't belong to him, that she
is her own person in her own time.
And though her life often has no reason or rhyme,
it is not an excuse to become what you are not,
and she will not, can not, stop him even when he fought
himself, even when the punches always end up bruising his
face with enough distraction, and it always seems to fizz
up eventually, bubbling over and staining the floor.
And he says, 'certainly not' and points to the door.

"I am the only female working in the shop at my company. The men have bigger hands than I do, so I keep my small gloves in my toolbox when I'm not using them. One day I was going to help a co-worker quickly and just grabbed one of the other guys' gloves on the way over thinking that it would be no big deal. The gloves were much too big for my hands, and when I set down the large aluminium frame, the tips of my glove got caught under the frame against the ground. I had to get another guy to come help lift the frame to get my hand out without tipping and damaging the frame. I realized that I should always be wearing the appropriate size gloves to avoid the excess material being caught in or under materials."
Pinch points are areas in which one might become injured as a result of being caught between the moving and stationary parts of machinery or other objects.
Injuries that occur as a result of pinching are not uncommon. It is estimated that about 125,000 individuals suffer from pinch point injuries ranging from mild to severe, and even loss of life. Pinch injuries can range from a bruise to various types of cuts, and even the amputation of a limb. Caught in/between injuries are consistently one of OSHA's Fatal Four injuries in the construction industry each year. These caught between and crush injuries must be avoided as much as possible in any area where the possibility of sustaining them exists.
Following are tips for avoiding pinch point injuries.
- Proper dress code: Wearing the appropriate clothing when working in areas where pinch injuries can occur is critically important. Pants and sleeves should not be too long or too loose. Shirts should be tucked into the pants to reduce the risk of them getting caught in the moving machinery.
- Avoid wearing jewelry: All jewelry should be removed including dangling earrings, necklaces, and rings.
- Proper hair protection: Long hair should be tied back, and braids and pony tails should be kept at the back of the head and secured, so there is no risk of them falling forward or down towards the machinery.
- Appropriate safety gear: The proper personal protective gear should be worn according to the job, and this should include gloves of the right fit, if there is any risk of a pinch injury.
- Pre-Inspection for possible hazards: Before operating any machinery it should be properly inspected for any potential hazards that may be present. Proper safety planning should be conducted at this time, then followed through with during the entire operation of the equipment.
- Stay alert and focused: It is very important that the individual operating the equipment stay totally focused on the job at hand and does not become distracted from keeping their eyes on the moving parts. Make sure that you know the operations of the machine before using it.
- Never extend your hand into the moving parts of a machine. Ensure that the proper tool guards have been installed and that they are in place. If during your pre-inspection you note missing or damaged safety guards, then do not put the machinery into operation. Report the matter to your supervisor immediately.
- If a machine becomes jammed, be sure to know what the proper and safe procedures are for correcting this. Make sure the machine has been turned off and comes to a full stop before progressing with clearing it. Know what the lockout/tagout procedures are. (For more on lockout/tagout procedures check out, Understanding Lockout/Tagout Safety)
- Pinch injuries are not restricted to equipment: It is not just heavy or moving equipment that can cause some serious pinch injuries. These can occur when carrying and stacking heavy items. They can even occur from getting jammed in a door. It is most important to stay alert to potential injuries such as these and what possible threats exist.
OSHA Standards
There are several regulations that have been put in place by OSHA regarding machine guarding that serves to help to protect against pinching injuries. There are the general regulations under 29CFR1910. There are specific regulations for the various industries.
Crush Injuries
Pinch points also include those areas where the body becomes caught between two moving parts of machinery, or between a machine and a stationary object or wall. These types of injuries can be avoided by being aware of pinch points and adjusting your position accordingly. If there is ever a possibility that you may become caught between two objects, reassess the position from which you are working so the pinch point is not a hazard.

School bus problems in Central
Related Story
CENTRAL - Students are back in school in the area, but not without some bus problems in Zachary and Central.
Both districts contract their bus services through First Students. The school bus service is particularly having issues in Central, where some students aren't getting home from school until after 5 p.m.
"It's heartbreaking. I feel like there's nothing I can do about it at this point," said parent Kelly Liebert, whose son is one of the late arrivals. "I see him get off the bus looking miserable and it breaks my heart."
The Central School District says growth and road construction is contributing to the problem. Superintendent Mike Faulk says he's aware of the problems and is working with First Student throughout the weekend to resolve the issue.
The Zachary School District had a few issues with First Student on the first day of school, but the superintendent says they've ironed them out.

It amazes me that the "Bush Tax cuts", which were sold as a return to the taxpayer of budget surpluses weren't used to pay down the national debt. Once the market bubble burst, wars were started, unfunded health mandates and the like came along that tax cut made no fcuking further sense. They did not even have the guts to make those tax rates permanent. Hence the political fight every time they are about to expire.
You definitely don't believe everything someone tells you about their 3500 horsepower, 1.5 sec 0-60 bolt on build, why would you believe what someone tells you what you k(no)w about fiscal and monetary policy? You don't have to believe me, but you can look this $#@! up and verify!

Ever since the original trilogy, 'Star Wars' has led the way when it comes to special effects. Whether it's landspeeders, lightsabers or Death Star trenches, those iconic scenes that we know and love have paved the way for modern visual effects. But in an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Mark Hamill revealed that he thinks Episode VII should "use less CGI". And to be honest, I couldn't agree more.
"I said to George that I wanted to go back to the way it was, in the sense that ours was much more carefree and light-hearted and humorous - in my opinion, anyway… I hope they find the right balance of CGI with practical effects."
This has been the problem with Star Wars for a long while - at least since the start of the prequel trilogy. The balance was all wrong and they relied too heavily on ground-breaking new effects. 'Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace' felt more like a tech demo than a film - it pioneered new techniques in the same way that the original trilogy did… but it definitely lacked the character and atmosphere that made the originals so great. And while it looks as though Lucasfilm are trying to rekindle the old magic by bringing back the original stars, is that really enough?
"I love props," Mark Hamill explains. "I love models, miniatures, matte paintings - I'm sort of old school. I think if you go too far in the direction of CGI it winds up looking like just a giant videogame, and that's unfortunate… If they listen to me at all, it'll be, 'Lighten up and go retro with the way it looks.'"
I have to admit, I agree completely… and you only have to look at 'The Phantom Menace' to see that Mark Hamill is definitely onto something. The pod racing scenes were phenomenal and used an all-new approach to create the blistering terrain of the Tatooine racing circuit. Matte paintings and models were deemed too unrealistic so instead, they combined photography with computer graphics - a method which was later used by James Cameron in his visual masterpiece, 'Avatar'.
Unfortunately, the entire film was jam-packed with slick animations and shiny new techniques… which didn't exactly help matters. Everything felt too glossy and 'perfect' - something which the original trilogy never was. Despite pioneering visual effects, you only have to look at the Millennium Falcon for a reminder of how rough-and-ready (and realistic) the originals felt.
So will 'Episode VII' pull out all the stops when it comes to its visual effects and animation? Or will they take a more subtle approach? With J.J Abrams at the helm they might want to keep an eye on that lens flare.
Do you think Episode VII should use less CGI? Should they return to models and puppetry?

BeschreibungStillwater has been known across the nation as the place "where Oklahoma began." From the boomer camps to the Land Run of 1889, the city has a rich, vibrant history. The tenacity of its residents, though, is the reason Stillwater survived. While towns like Guthrie and Oklahoma City—which had railroads—recorded between 10,000 and 15,000 new residents on the first day of the Land Run, Stillwater could only muster a handful. Although it lacked amenities, Stillwater flourished in grit, hard work, and perseverance. After hard-fought battles to retain the Payne County seat and Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College, Stillwater was here to stay. It may have once been proclaimed "where Oklahoma began," but it now has earned its place as "Stillwater, where Oklahoma's future belongs."

Reader creation simplification: {code} File file = new File(filename); reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream( file))); {code} should be: {code} File file = new File(filename); reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(filename)); {code} 2. non-comment & invalid lines (not 2 columns) should write a log warning instead failing silently. 3. rename refresh() to load() or initialize(). refresh() gives the impression of well refresh() and I'm not sure this is the intention. > new topology mapping implementations > ------------------------------------ > > Key: HADOOP-7030 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-7030 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: New Feature > Affects Versions: 0.20.1, 0.20.2, 0.21.0 > Reporter: Patrick Angeles > Assignee: Tom White > Attachments: HADOOP-7030-2.patch, HADOOP-7030.patch, HADOOP-7030.patch, HADOOP-7030.patch, topology.patch > > > The default ScriptBasedMapping implementation of DNSToSwitchMapping for determining cluster topology has some drawbacks.

Course content
The MA in Pedagogy is designed for anyone who is involved in teaching and learning. There is a choice of modes of delivery to meet the needs of practitioners in all locations and phases of schooling: face to face, blended (combining elements of intensive face-to-face learning on study days with online learning) or an online programme.
This MA offers teachers and other education professionals - including teaching assistants, mentors and librarians - a choice of pathways related to their practice at all stages in their careers. The programme supports their learning and develops their ability to reflect critically on classroom practice.
The focus throughout the course is on developing pedagogical understanding as reflective practitioners. This degree will give students a wider understanding of key issues in the field of education in which their practice is located.
Throughout, students will develop a critical understanding of research methodology as they plan and conduct a small-scale enquiry into an issue of their choice. This will enable the student to further their own understanding of their practice whilst also having the opportunity to contribute to the wider contexts in which they work.
As they generate new knowledge, students will contribute to pedagogical theory and practice.
Building on our long tradition of excellent practice in teacher education, St Mary's provides a flexible approach to this professional Master's degree.
In addition to being delivered at the university and as a distance programme, it is also taught in school-centres in partnership with individual schools and groups of schools, offering the opportunity for busy professionals to study in small groups in their own context.

text: DYNAMIC ADAPTATION FOR LANGUAGE AND DIALECT IN A SPEECH SYNTHESIS SYSTEM Craig Olinsky Media Lab Europe / University College Dublin OVERVIEW: ADAPTATION IN SPEECH SYNTHESIS Many of the areas which could most benefit from community-focused IT resource development have very high illiteracy rates among their populace. For such users, speech-based systems provide the most obvious and natural mechanism for them to interface with computers. Without the widespread available of high quality speech databases, computer-readable lexicons, and other pre-processed linguistic information that is available for, for instance, standard dialects of French or German, it is expensive and difficult to build such systems. ("learning from sample" case in other presentation) OVERVIEW: ADAPTATION IN SPEECH SYNTHESIS Even within a particular language (including those major ones), the personalization of a speech Synthesis system for a particular use, market, and especially accent can provide much benefit to a deployed system. Recent articles have suggested, in fact, that humans connect better as listeners with a speaker and voice who sound like them, not only finding it easier to listen to and understand what is said, but also finding it more natural to assign emotional state and judge such factors as authority and honesty, and even intelligibility. OVERVIEW: ADAPTATION IN SPEECH SYNTHESIS Perhaps the system can LISTEN to the user, and then CHANGE ITS OUTPUT to sound more like what it hears? Instead of creating a dedicated system for every purpose, set up a number of "baseline" systems (along different languages, language families, etc.) and set them learning. We benefit from the work put in developing the baseline system, while requiring a (minimum?) of additional focused training data. Assumption: Learning "Accent", "Dialect", "Language" – not a distinct process, but all a matter of degree? OVERVIEW: ADAPTATION IN SPEECH SYNTHESIS HUMAN ANALOGUE: People who live for a period of time in an area where a different accent or dialect of their language is spoken often (involuntarily) start to pick up the local manners of speech. SPEECH RECOGNITION ANALOGUE: "Speaker Adaptation" -- a procedure in which the acoustic model of the recognition system (or in limited cases the language mode as well), after being fully trained, is provided with additional speech data. Based upon this data, the values, parameters, nodes, weights, or other coefficients representing the acoustic model are shifted "towards" the new information such that the system should exhibit improved performance on data representing the new training data, even though such data may not have been included in its initial training procedure. BACKGROUND: SPEAKER ADAPTATION FOR SPEECH RECOGNITION SYSTEMS QUICK PROCEDURE OVERVIEW: Given a set of recording target utterances and associated transcripts: Generate synthesized utterance from transcript using current synthesizer (letter-to-sound rules, phones, speech database, etc.) Compare target recording to generated source form to determine how the two pronunciations differ. Re-organize the phone units and speech unit selection process to incorporate differences and info from target recording units. Modify the lexical entries and letter-to-sound rules of the existing synthesizer to produce output that closer resembles the target utterance. VARIATION AND ADAPTATION Ignoring for a moment issues such as vocabulary choice and other semantic issues of usage, it is possible to consider variation from accent, "dialect", and even across languages as a difference in degree of variation in a few key areas: the phonetic inventory which comprises the basic building blocks in which things are pronounced; a set of pronunciation rules or examples which dictate how the phonetic units are put together to assign a pronunciation to an orthographic form, and subsequently speak the desired text, and a collection of conventionalized stress and intonational patterns which help provide structure and syntactic/semantic context to the overall produced utterances. VARIATION AND ADAPTATION Cross-Speaker Adaptation. In such a mode, a generalized speech synthesizer is adapted towards the voice of a single user of the system. This can be done in one of two ways: Assuming that the original "voice" of the synthesizer is that of a professional speaker, either qualities of the user's voice can be applied to the default voice, while still retaining the database of sound samples of the original speaker for use as the concatenative synthetic voice; conversely, the database can be expanded (or replaced) with samples of the user's voice, while some abstract "quality" of the original professional voice is nonetheless retained, ideally providing some measure of the clearness and understandability for which the original speaker was initially retained. The ability to create natual-sounding speech from concatenation of samples drawn from a speech database comprised of recordings from multiple users, and/or of multiple quality, would also help encourage an open-source "bazaar" of decentralized users attempting to amass the large number of recorded forms necessary for a multi-purpose unit-selection synthesizer. VARIATION AND ADAPTATION Cross-Dialect Adaptation. This is almost exactly the case expressed above, except for that the "default" voice form and the specific user's voice different in dialect, or to some greater degree than the average set of native speakers from a given area. That is, we would expect not only quality of voice variation, but also limited difference, in vocabulary, phonetic inventory, distinguishable minimalpairs, accent, and the like. The result is that not only the unitselection database, but also those components which assign phonetic realizations to the given text: the letter-to-sound rules and the pronunciation dictionary or lexicon, may need alteration. Cross-Language Adaptation. In this case, we retain some degree of phonetic inventory similarity between the source and destination language, but our letter-to-sound rules and lexicon need gross modification, or may even be unusable (even some language pairs where are very similar in pronunciation, such as Japanese and Korean, could nonetheless use unrelated orthographic form, or voice versa). VARIATION AND ADAPTATION Cross-Language Adaptation, Single Speaker Variant. In this case, we have recordings from a single speaker (i.e., the user), which we want to be able to speak naturally in languages in which the user is not a native speaker. We thus want to use information about these other languages to adapt the synthesizer of the user's voice to speak multilingually. (This is especially significant in our global community, where many proper nouns of personal names and locations cannot be properly pronounced simply by following the phonological rules of a single language). Language "Acquisition". In the extreme case, we wish to bootstrap an "empty" synthesizer (with no lexicon or knowledge of pronunciation rules whatsoever) to speak like us simply by speaking to it, without hard-cording direct linguistic or phonetic knowledge. This is a task that a non-technical, non-expert native speaker user should be able to perform. VARIATION AND ADAPTATION Ignoring for a moment issues such as vocabulary choice and other semantic issues of usage, it is possible to consider variation from accent, "dialect", and even across languages as a difference in degree of variation in a few key areas: the phonetic inventory which comprises the basic building blocks in which things are pronounced; a set of pronunciation rules or examples which dictate how the phonetic units are put together to assign a pronunciation to an orthographic form, and subsequently speak the desired text, and a collection of conventionalized stress and intonational patterns which help provide structure and syntactic/semantic context to the overall produced utterances. OVERVIEW: ADAPTATION IN SPEECH SYNTHESIS Synthesis adds an additional problem to recognition adaptation: the fact that the database of recorded segments themselves is itself used for concatentation. This means that we can not just merge the entire set of recorded data together – there would be noticeable discrepancies between concatenative units taken from each individual speaker. On the other hand, if we just use the new set of segments, we aren't adapting; we're just building a new synthesizer. For this study, we take the new target data to be a small data set; not enough to be a good set of units for synthesis on its own. OVERVIEW: ADAPTATION IN SPEECH SYNTHESIS We are thus required to use existing (source) units for synthesis. However, these source recordings and their associated existing synthetic voice have a specific accent/dialect, with a pre-defined phone set. Even with a proper dictionary and proper letter-to-sound rules providing use with a "proper" pronunciation taking into account pronunciation variation for our target accent., stringing the "best match" units together likely won't sound like a native speaker of that accent. The vowel quality might be vastly different, or phones might be missing in the source language (e.g., a French /r/). We want to adapt for this. Overall, we want to sound native in the target accent/dialect/language, using units recorded from the speaker of a different one. PHONE UNIT ADAPTATION If the variation between source and target speech is large enough, it is likely that describe the target speech with a different phone set than that of the source speech. We may still find that the pronunciation of a particular phone in the target corresponds more closely with that of a different one than our source pronunciation lexicon would suggest (for instance, schwa reduction). Or we might have an existing target pronunciation lexicon or pronunciation rules with a predefined phone set we with to use. To utilize data from our source synthesizer in such a case, we need to assign appropriate mappings between source and target phones. This can be seen as a matter of degree as to how much effort or knowledge is incorporated into creating the mapping, how closely such a mapping corresponds to the observered data, and thus our (assumed) rating of the quality of such a mapping. PHONE UNIT ADAPTATION Figure 1: Degrees of Phoneme Mapping: (alleged) WORST Source Phoneme Set (alleged) BEST Naïve Mapping Linguistically-Motivated Phoneme Mapping Data-Driven Mapping Target Phoneme Set PHONE UNIT ADAPTATION na(t)ive approach: this approach follows the principle a non-native would follow when speaking a second language: he basically has the phonetic inventory of the first language and partially uses that inventory when speaking the second language…. phonetic approach: this strategy follows principles in the production of sounds in the human vocal tract … that sound that agrees in the most phonetic features with the untrained one is taken instead of the unknown one of the goal language…. data-driven approach: this approach determines the similarity among phones with the data given by the trained recognizer… according to a distance measure the most similar units may be joined. PRONUCIATION ADAPTATION Typically taken for granted in multilingual speech adaptation studies is the presences of a pronunciation dictionary and/or rules for the target language – On the far extremes, we assume the existing of well-targeted pronunciation rules: in the worst case, one designed for the source speech, and the best case, one specifically designed for the target. In between, we use a number of methods to derive or create a pronunciation module, based either upon the existing source-language methods, the target speech data itself, or some combination. PRONUNCIATION ADAPTATION Figure 2: Letter to sound rules/ lexicon (alleged) WORST Principled Source-Only "Foreign Approximation" (alleged) BEST Langua Neutral Trrained from Target data Principled Target-Only PRONUNCIATION ADAPTATION Principled Source-Only: this approach merely uses pronunciation methods specifically designed for the source speech to generate a pronunciation form for the target. This approach can result in extremely inaccurate pronunciation approximations, such as one might inspect from a native English attempt at a native pronunciation of an unusual foreign "Foreign Approximation": this approach can be seen as akin to the na(t)ive approach of phone mapping as discussed above. In this case, the speaker recognizes that the word being pronounced is not a native one, and relaxes some of the language-specific rules or attempts to move the pronunciation closer to that of the "assumed" language of the word in question. The result is closer, but still inaccurate and strongly accented. PRONUNCIATION ADAPTATION Language-Neutral: this approach purely ignores all languagespecific information, assuming either a set of very generic or regular pronunciation rules, proposing a (relatively) direct relation between orthographic form and pronunciation. Such rules would closely resembles those used for a language with artificially few pronunciation exceptions, such as Esperanto, rather than that of English. Trained from Target Data: in this method, an aligned text and speech signal are provided to a recognizer, along with (possibly) a limited set of pronunciation transcriptions as training data. In some automatic way, the system learns a set of pronunciation rules and/or a lexicon of pronunciations which closely matches the training data. Principled Target-Only: this approach assumes a provided pronunciation modules specifically designed to generate correct pronunciations for our target language/dialect/accent. UNIT DATABASE COMPOSITION Figure 3: Methods of Comprising Unit Database (alleged) WORST Source Speaker Only (alleged) BEST Union of al Recordings (unprincipled) Source Speaker + uncovered phones from target only Set of Digitally Altered Segments Target Speaker Only ADAPTATION FROM MIMICRY We know from the beginning that our source unit database is of the best quality (in terms of recording, segmentation, labelling, etc.) But we can't directly synthesize from the source database, because we will get accented, non-native sounding speech. Is there a way to generate in a non-accented or differentlyaccented way from a single speech database? Try to find a "neutrally" accented speaker? (What does this mean – someone heavily polylingual? Someone geographically in between the two languages or accents?) Look at mimicry studies – how someone (intentionally) modifies their voice to sound like a different speaker. ADAPTATION FROM MIMICRY Anders Eriksson and Pär Wretling – "How Flexible is the Human Voice? – A Case Study of Mimicry" Close mimicry of global speech rate No change for timing at segmental level Mean fundamental frequency and variation matched timing closely Formant frequencies attained with variant success: Vowel imitation intermediate between voice and target "Fundamental frequency changes were more successful than changes in timing" STAGES OF THE EXPERIMENT Our development efforts and systems will follow the four modes listed in the research overview in order of ascribed complexity. For the Cross-Speaker Adaptation case, we will utilize a base voice and training speaker of native American English. For the Cross-Dialect Adaptation study, we will retain the use of English for the basic case, adapting over a selection of American, British, and Irish English dialects. We will then finish with two data sets for Cross-Language Adaptation, proceeding in order of linguistic variation – variation over the set of Celtic languages still in current use (Irish, Scottish Gaelic, and, slightly more distantly, Welsh) and a selection of Asian Indian Languages, including (at least) Bengali and Hindi.

As more citizens decide to armed themselves these incidents will increase. (Obviously.) We can't have it both ways meaning the 2A gives everyone the right to own a firearm and this also means that poor judgement and incompetence are also benefactors. And sadly the proof is found to often at the expense of the innocent.
Hopefully these tragic events will motivate us to re-visit our own beliefs and practices. Its the least we can do to honor the victims.

I've run into sync creating some interesting issues when dealing with
large files in another application and it's possible I had similar
issues with Stata but didn't realize it when doing some MI work a few
years back. I'd suggest that, as much as it's a pain to have to sync
by copying, that you do all your work locally and then save backups.
Folks working with similar situations, such as in audio or video
editing applications, are often told to turn off extraneous drains to
improve performance. For instance, turning off Bluetooth or wireless
really saves on system resources. Given that audio or video editing is
essentially just a big computational and memory resource hog, Stata
performance will probably likewise be improved.
