Hi Guys, I hope your all doing well.I wrote this piece last night, so I haven't had much time to practice it, I wanted to share it with you.I didn't play it that cleanly but the slight distorting you can hear is an error I made with the final mix of having the audio volume set too loud. Sorry :)I hope you will enjoy it :-)..Initially was going to call it Russian Romance part 2, in the end gave it its own name.CD Update, have been spending lots of time in the Studio, due back in August, shorty after that the first CD will be finally released :))..

Google Tech TalksApril, 2 2008ABSTRACTImagine a game where two players go back and forth making moves andat the end of a fixed number of moves the position is either a win ora loss for the first player. In this case, if both players play bestpossible, it is determined at the first move who wins or loses. Tofigure out who will be the winner you need not look at all of the Nfinal positions but only at N^0.753. I will show that with a quantumcomputer the exponent can be reduced to 0.5. The technique involvesquantum scattering theory and illustrates how ideas from physics canbe used to design quantum algorithms that outperform even bestpossible classical algorithms.Speaker: Edward FarhiProfessor of Physics; Director, Center for Theoretical PhysicsMassachusetts Institute of TechnologyResearch Interests:Edward Farhi was trained as a theoretical particle physicist but has also worked on astrophysics, general relativity, and the foundations of quantum mechanics. His present interest is the theory of quantum computation.As a graduate student, Farhi invented the jet variable "Thrust," which is used to describe how particles in high energy accelerator collisions come out in collimated streams. He then worked with Leonard Susskind on grand unified theories with electro-weak dynamical symmetry breaking. He and Larry Abbott proposed an (almost viable) model in which quarks, leptons, and massive gauge bosons are composite. With Robert Jaffe, he worked out many of the properties of a possibly stable super dense form of matter called "Strange Matter" and with Charles Alcock and Angela Olinto he studied the properties of "Strange Stars." His interest then shifted to general relativity and he and Alan Guth studied the classical and quantum prospects of making a new inflationary universe in the laboratory today. He, Guth and others also studied obstacles to constructing a time machine.More recently, Farhi has been studying how to use quantum mechanics to gain algorithmic speedup in solving problems that are difficult for conventional computers. He and Sam Gutmann proposed the idea of designing algorithms based on quantum walks, which has been used to demonstrate the power of quantum computation over classical. They, along with Jeffrey Goldstone and Michael Sipser, introduced the idea of quantum computation by adiabatic evolution, which has generated much interest in the quantum computing community. This group was tied for first in showing that there is a problem that cannot be sped up by a quantum computer. In 2007, Farhi, Goldstone and Gutmann showed that a quantum computer can determine who wins a game faster than a classical computer.Edward Farhi continues to work on quantum computing but keeps a close eye on particle physics and recent developments in cosmology.Biographical Sketch:Edward (Eddie) Farhi went to the Bronx High School of Science and Brandeis University before getting his Ph.D. from Harvard in 1978. He was then on the staff at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center and at CERN in Geneva Switzerland before coming to MIT, where he joined the faculty in 1982. Farhi has given lectures on his own research at many of the major physics research centers in the world. At MIT, he has taught undergraduate courses in quantum mechanics and special relativity. At the graduate level he has taught quantum mechanics, quantum field theory, particle physics and general relativity. Farhi won three teaching awards at MIT and in 2000, 2001, and 2002 he lectured the big freshman physics course, "8.01." In July 2005, he was appointed the Director of MIT's Center for Theoretical Physics.Selected Publications:Professor Farhi's publications are available online from the SPIRES HEP Literature Database (particle physics) and arXiv.org e-Print archive (quantum computing).

Classical Harmonica player Philip Achille wows the classical crowd playing this instrument, a future jazz harmoncia legend. This video of champion Achille was viewed on television from the ROYAL ALBERT HALL on BBC2 home of Classical Star. Philip still has lessons (tutorials) taught by Jim Hughes a harmonica legend as a session musician and in the school of players like, tommy Rielly, shellist, Douglas Tate, Larry Adler and Stevie Wonder.HARMONICA, BLUES, Chromatic Harmonica ,Classical Harmonica, Jazz, Harmonica Artist, British Film music, Achille Philip, BBC 2 2007 Proms London Larry Adler, The harmonica playing was accompanied by a full orchestra.

"Stairway to Heaven" is a song by the British rock group Led Zeppelin, composed by guitarist Jimmy Page and vocalist Robert Plant.I post this because many have asked me to do this. I normally don't do requests! So please don't ask again... LOLI had this old arrangement by Stan Ayeroff that I only used for students. I have changed some parts though...Love and peace!Per-Olov_________There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is goldAnd she's buying a stairway to heavenAnd when she gets there she knows if the stores are closedWith a word she can get what she came forWoe oh oh oh oh ohAnd she's buying a stairway to heaven There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sureAnd you know sometimes words have two meaningsIn a tree by the brook there's a songbird who singsSometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven Woe oh oh oh oh ohAnd she's buying a stairway to heaven There's a feeling I get when I look to the westAnd my spirit is crying for leavingIn my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the treesAnd the voices of those who stand looking Woe oh oh oh oh ohAnd she's buying a stairway to heaven And it's whispered that soon, if we all call the tuneThen the piper will lead us to reasonAnd a new day will dawn for those who stand longAnd the forest will echo with laughter And it makes me wonder If there's a bustle in your hedgerowDon't be alarmed nowIt's just a spring clean for the May Queen Yes there are two paths you can go bybut in the long runThere's still time to change the road you're on Your head is humming and it won't go in case you don't knowThe piper's calling you to join himDear lady can't you hear the wind blow and did you knowYour stairway lies on the whispering wind And as we wind on down the roadOur shadows taller than our soulThere walks a lady we all knowWho shines white light and wants to showHow everything still turns to goldAnd if you listen very hardThe tune will come to you at lastWhen all are one and one is allTo be a rock and not to rollWoe oh oh oh oh ohAnd she's buying a stairway to heaven There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is goldAnd she's buying a stairway to heavenAnd when she gets there she knows if the stores are closedWith a word she can get what she came forAnd she's buying a stairway to heaven.

Performed by Jake Poire***New version w/ better quality coming soon--no cell phone***Bohemian Rhapsody - Solo Classical Guitar This is me playing Bohemian Rhapsody as arranged for solo guitar by Edgar Cruz. My cell phone rang about half way through the song, but I decided to keep the recording anyways. I should note that this is the first time I've played the song in quite a while. I'll do a better version, minus the cell phone ring, later. Enjoy.Bohemian Rhapsody - GuitarArranged by Edgar CruzPerformed by Jake PoireBohemian Rhapsody - Guitar [ More Detail ]
