...RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN LYRICS AND MELODY IN POPULAR MUSIC Eric Nichols1, Dan Morris2, Sumit Basu2, and Christopher Raphael1 1 2 Indiana University Microsoft Research Bloomington, IN, USA Redmond, WA, USA {epnichol,craphael}@indiana.edu ABSTRACT Composers of popular music weave lyrics, melody, and instrumentation together to create a consistent and compelling emotional scene. The relationships among these elements are critical to musical communication, and understanding the statistics behind these relationships can contribute to numerous problems in music information retrieval and creativity support. In this paper, we present the results of an observational study on a large symbolic database of popular music; our results identify several patterns in the relationship between lyrics and melody. 1. INTRODUCTION Popular music uses several streams of information to create an emotionally engaging experience for the listener. Lyrics, melody, chords, dynamics, instrumentation, and other aspects of a song operate in tandem to produce a compelling musical percept. Extensive previous work has explored each of these elements in isolation, and certain relationships among these components – for example, the relationship between melody and chords – have also been addressed in the research community. However, despite their salience and central role in music cognition, lyrics have not been addressed by computational analysis to the same degree as other aspects of popular music. In this study, we...

...Shukla; Ashish; 1381406 Minimum wage INTRODUCTION The 2012 minimum wage bill in parliament is defeated, and created dissatisfaction in society, as people are really struggling to manage their lives, especially particular section of society who is unskilled and working on minimum wage. Now to understand the issues we have to look into two perceptions first from general public for whom good life means more money, second from economist mind for example Tim Maloney who studied series of data from 1985 to mid 1990 to addresses the impact of minimum wage change on teenagers and young adults. He finds negative impact of minimum wage on youth and young adults labor market, with demand elasticity of -0.35, and over longer time period -0.38(Chapple,1997). Now suppose a young adult who don’t have job and gets one but employee don’t want to pay minimum wage as he thinks he will lose money, in this situation as government has set price floor for wages and ready to pay government benefits from tax payer money but will not allow anyone to work below minimum wage, in this case government is losing money and increasing unemployment. In this situation if minimum wage increase, can create imbalance in economic structure, and if not will create dissatisfaction in normal public. EFFECT ON SOCIETY Increase in minimum wage has different impact on society; it’s suggested that some segments of society which will be affected like youth (16-18 age), adult (20+ ages)...

This resulted from a rapidly rise of short-term lending from the shadow banking system, which has been considered an unofficial lending market that operates outside the scope of regulations and has recently been plunged into crisis. This paper synthesizes the overall indexes and information about the ongoing banking crisis in China, which includes: recent China economic analysis, how the crisis impacts on domestic and global economy, comparing China’s banking system to several countries in the world and the forecast for China in the near future. How the crisis took off In today’s globalized world, no country is immune from the financial crisis, even the second largest economy of the world. An increase in risky and complicated financial practices in China can possibly drive the economy to a terrible crisis. The financial crisis resulted from a rapidly rise of short-term lending from the shadow banking system. It was not easy for small and medium...

This paper presents additional insight into who entrepreneurs are and how their characteristics relate, and how those relationships might impact their behavior. We have studied selected entrepreneurial characteristics and their relationship to optimism, realism, and pessimism.

Key Words: Entrepreneurship, Psychology, Entrepreneurial Characteristics, Optimism, Realism, Pessimism 2 Entrepreneurial Characteristics, Optimism, Pessimism, and Realism – Correlation or Collision? Introduction There is a common argument among researchers regarding if entrepreneurs are optimistic, and if optimism relates to other characgteristics of entrepreneurs. The purpose of this paper is to explore and examine the relationship between entrepreneurial characteristics, optimism, realism, and pessimism. For many years, researchers have identified unique characteristics of entrepreneurs – confidence, independence, being in control, risk taking, creativity, just to name a few.

From the Library of Yuri Khan Praise for More Effective C++: 35 New Ways to Improve Your Programs and Designs “This is an enlightening book on many aspects of C++: both the regions of the language you seldom visit, and the familiar ones you THOUGHT you understood. Only by understanding deeply how the C++ compiler interprets your code can you hope to write robust software using this language. This book is an invaluable resource for gaining that level of understanding. After reading this book, I feel like I've been through a code review with a master C++ programmer, and picked up many of his most valuable insights.” — Fred Wild, Vice President of Technology, Advantage Software Technologies “This book includes a great collection of important techniques for writing programs that use C++ well. It explains how to design and implement the ideas, and what hidden pitfalls lurk in some obvious alternative designs. It also includes clear explanations of features recently added to C++. Anyone who wants to use these new features will want a copy of this book close at hand for ready reference.” — Christopher J.
