The Intercom The Monthly Newsletter of Our Savior’s Lutheran Church March 2020 s Volume 45, Number 3 The In Church and Community From the Pastors Embrace the Question... by Pr. Justin Kosec and Pr. Sami Johnson A good question can reveal the truth. Often, questions can serve to divide us—to show how far apart we feel from one another, and to separate the people who feel ignorant from A good question can prompt something new those who seem in the know. This Lent, though, we will discover that about a person we’ve known for years. when God is part of the conversation, questions almost always draw us closer to each other and closer to God. A good question can teach us about ourselves. We’re excited for you to join us on this Lenten journey, where every per- If you could ask God any question, what would it son—and every question—has a place in the conversation with God. be? Perhaps more importantly, if God could ask you a question, what do you think God would ask? This Lent at Our Savior’s, we will Embrace the Question..., exploring just what kind of questions people asked Jesus. In longer scripture read- ings that will center our worship experience on Sunday mornings, and through more in-depth exploration through prayer and study in our Wednesday evening worship services, we will see that conversation with Jesus was always engaging, interesting, and full of twists and turns. In the Bible, we will discover moments when people came to Jesus with deep questions about God, only to find Jesus had turned the conversa- tion back at them with his own curious questions. We will confront the terrible ways certain religious people can use questions to harm and interrogate others. We will even hear that Jesus has some of the same Lent at Our Savior’s questions about the world that we do—even though Jesus was also God.

    Submitted by Andreu Vall Portabella Submitted at Institute of Computational Perception Supervisor and First Examiner Markus Schedl Second Examiner Dietmar Jannach December 2018 Machine Learning Approaches to Hybrid Music Recommender Systems Doctoral Thesis to obtain the academic degree of Doktor der technischen Wissenschaften in the Doctoral Program Technische Wissenschaften JOHANNES KEPLER UNIVERSITY LINZ Altenbergerstraße 69 4040 Linz, Österreich www.jku.at DVR 0093696 ISTATUTORYDECLARATION hereby declare that the thesis submitted is my own unaided work, that I have not used other than the sources indicated, and that all direct and indirect sources are acknowledged as references. This printed thesis is identical with the electronic version submitted. Linz, December 2018 Andreu Vall Portabella MusicABSTRACT catalogs in music streaming services, on-line music shops and private collections become increasingly larger and consequently diffi- cult to navigate. Music recommender systems are technologies devised to support users accessing such large catalogs by automatically identi- fying and suggesting music that may interest them. This thesis focuses on the machine learning aspects of music recommendation with con- tributions at the intersection of recommender systems and music information retrieval: I investigate and propose recommender systems that observe and exploit the particularities of the music domain. The thesis specializes in hybrid music recommender systems, so called because they combine two fundamentally different types of data: (1) user–music interaction histories (e.g., the music that users recently listened to, or “liked”), with (2) descriptions of the musical content (e.g., the genre, or acoustical properties of a song). The pro- posed hybrid music recommender systems integrate the strengths of these two types of data into enhanced standalone systems.

    www.polar.org/antsun The January 13, 2002 PublishedAntarctic during the austral summer at McMurdo Station, Antarctica, Sun for the United States Antarctic Program All tied up in Palmer Little AGO on the big plateau By Kristan Hutchison Sun staff The scene at the Automatic Geophysical Observatory is straight from Laura Ingalls Wilder, as translated by aliens. An orange box of a cabin sits alone on a sweeping snow prairie. At odd angles from it is a matrix of posts and wires, like a clothesline waiting for washday. And in the field on the other side, someone pulls a small plow back and forth all day long behind a snow machine. Scott Freeman, part of the team maintaining the AGO sites, even calls himself a snow farmer, for all the hours and days he's spent towing the groomer. "You're just out in this flat, white plain with lots of time to think," Freeman said. "There's very little evidence of the hand of humans." Humans are hardly ever at the six AGOs scattered across the most remote regions of Antarctica.

    CONTENT-BASED AUDIO SEARCH: FROM FINGERPRINTING TO SEMANTIC AUDIO RETRIEVAL A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT OF POMPEU FABRA UNIVERSITY IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR FROM THE POMPEU FABRA UNIVERSITY — DOCTORATE PROGRAM OF COMPUTER SCIENCE AND DIGITAL COMMUNICATION Pedro Cano 2007 Dipòsit legal: B.42899-2007 ISBN: 978-84-691-1205-2 c Copyright by Pedro Cano 2007 All Rights Reserved ii THESIS DIRECTION Thesis Advisor Dr. Xavier Serra Departament de Tecnologia Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona iii iv Abstract This dissertation is about audio content-based search. Specifically, it is on developing tech- nologies for bridging the semantic gap that currently prevents wide-deployment of audio content-based search engines. Audio search engines rely on metadata, mostly human gener- ated, to manage collections of audio assets. Even though time-consuming and error-prone, human labeling is a common practice. Audio content-based methods, algorithms that auto- matically extract description from audio files, are generally not mature enough to provide a user friendly representation for interacting with audio content. Mostly, content-based methods are based on low-level descriptions, while high-level or semantic descriptions are beyond current capabilities. This dissertation has two parts. In the first one we explore the strengths and limitation of a pure low-level audio description technique: audio finger- printing. We prove, by implementation of different systems, that automatically extracted low-level description of audio are able to successfully solve a series of tasks such as linking unlabeled audio to corresponding metadata, duplicate detection or integrity verification. We show that the different audio fingerprinting systems can be explained with respect to a general fingerprinting framework.

  • The Ipad & the SLP in 2020 and Beyond: List of Ios Apps, Boom Cards
    The iPad & the SLP in 2020 and Beyond: List of iOS apps, Boom Cards, Teachers Pay Teachers materials, Teletherapy Resources and Online Resources – organized by goal areas, themes and topics Welcome! I spent the past 8 months creating this FREE resource to help fellow SLPs and parents. This is a fresh list with resources that were all verified as being available and links verified as working at the time they were added. My iPads are by far the best tools in my SLP toolbox. Best purchases ever! I bought my first iPad Air 2 in December 2012 with Christmas money and quickly bought a second one the following February with birthday money realizing that I needed one iPad to be an AAC and therapy device and another one with “fun” well designed kids apps that kids could request or work for as reinforcers (not fair to take away the “voice” of a patient while playing in language rich apps). A few months later I won an iPad Mini 2 in a giveaway and it was a valuable tool to trial AAC apps on a more portable sized “talker”. The most recent addition to my iPad toolbox was a 2016 iPad Pro 9.7" with 256GB memory. I bought it specifically for the four speakers and faster processor. It was amazing to use for AAC and as a way to play videos and music in groups and in sessions with kids with hearing impairments. I retired in June 2018 but have stayed up to date on apps that would be useful in therapy and on AAC apps so I can do some consulting in the future.

Hyniea (Niea) Gardner A Thesis in the Field of Anthropology and Archaeology for the Degree of Master of Liberal Arts in Extension Studies Harvard University May 2019 © May 2019 Hyniea (Niea) Gardner Abstract In 2016 the Korea Creative Content Agency (KOCCA) reported that the Korean music industry saw an overseas revenue of ₩5.3 trillion ($4.7 billion) in concert tickets, streaming music, compact discs (CDs), and related services and merchandise such as fan meetings and purchases of music artist apparel and accessories (Kim 2017 and Erudite Risk Business Intelligence 2017). Korean popular music (K-Pop) is a billion-dollar industry. Known for its energetic beats, synchronized choreography, and a sound that can be an amalgamation of electronica, blues, hip-hop, rock, and R&B all mixed together to create something that fans argue is “uniquely K-Pop.” However, further examination reveals that producers and songwriters – both Korean and the American and European specialists contracted by agencies – tend to base the foundation of the K-Pop sound in hip-hop and R&B, which has strong ties to African-American musical traditions.
