Find Me is the debut extended play (EP) by American artist and YouTube sensation Christina Grimmie. The album was released for digital download on June 14, 2011. Physical copies of the album are sold at Grimmie's tour appearances and shows.The album was released independently and debuted at number 35 on the Billboard 200 chart in the US. The album entered the top 10 of the Independent Albums in the US, debuting and peaking at number 6. The album also had success on the Billboard Digital Albums chart, debuting at number 11.

The album's lead single was "Advice", which was released for airplay on Radio Disney on June 11, 2011 and has peaked at number 3 at Radio Disney Top 30 Countdown. The song was met with a positive fan reception, receiving a 95% approval rate by Radio Disney listeners. On the strength of digital downloads, "Liar Liar", debuted at number 15 on Billboard's Top Heatseekers single chart.

Background

Recording and development

Grimmie began posting covers of songs on her official YouTube account [ zeldaxlove64] in the Summer of 2009 (July, 17). According to Grimmie, her friend persuaded her to post her videos on the popular video sharing website. After receiving positive feedback for her performance, Grimmie began to regularly upload videos of herself performing covers, usually entitled "Me singing ...". For example, she posted videos of herself performing covers of the Miley Cyrus hits Party in the U.S.A. and When I Look at You. Getting more popular on YouTube, Grimmie eventually got in contact with Kurt Hugo Schneider (through fellow YouTube musician Tiffany Alvord whom she recorded a duet with). Schneider and Grimmie then recorded a medley of Miley Cyrus songs that quickly became one of Christina's most-viewed videos. After watching this video, Selena Gomez's stepfather Brian Teefey contacted Grimmie to be her manager.

Advice (complexity)

In computational complexity theory, an advice string is an extra input to a Turing machine that is allowed to depend on the length n of the input, but not on the input itself. A decision problem is in the complexity class P/f(n) if there is a polynomial time Turing machine M with the following property: for any n, there is an advice string A of length f(n) such that, for any input x of length n, the machine M correctly decides the problem on the input x, given x and A.

The most common complexity class involving advice is P/poly where advice length f(n) can be any polynomial in n. P/poly is equal to the class of decision problems such that, for every n, there exists a polynomial size Boolean circuit correctly deciding the problem on all inputs of length n. One direction of the equivalence is easy to see. If, for every n, there is a polynomial size Boolean circuit A(n) deciding the problem, we can use a Turing machine that interprets the advice string as a description of the circuit. Then, given the description of A(n) as the advice, the machine will correctly decide the problem on all inputs of length n. The other direction uses a simulation of a polynomial-time Turing machine by a polynomial-size circuit as in one proof of Cook's Theorem. Simulating a Turing machine with advice is no more complicated than simulating an ordinary machine, since the advice string can be incorporated into the circuit.

Sabra

Sabre

Sabre I

The first Sabre was a former knife thrower named Paul Richarde until he was selected by Modred to oppose Black Knight. Paul Richarde was given an armor, an animated gargoyle. and Mordred's Ebony Dagger (the weapon with which Mordred had killed the first Black Knight). He was defeated by Black Knight after his horse Aragorn kicked the dagger from Le Sabre's hand.

Sabre II

The second Sabre is a mutant super villain. His first appearance was in X-Men #106. Young and reckless, Sabre was chosen by Mystique to join her new Brotherhood of Mutants, though never actually participated in any missions. He had the mutant ability of super speed, and took the name of the deceased Super Sabre. It is unknown if he continues to serve Mystique behind the scenes, or if he even retains his powers after Decimation. Hyper-accelerated metabolism augments his natural speed, reflexes, coordination, endurance, and the healing properties of his body.

Silver (Andrew Motion novel)

Silver, subtitled Return to Treasure Island, is a novel by former British Poet Laureate Andrew Motion, published by Jonathan Cape on 15 March 2012. The book follows Jim Hawkins, son of the character of the same name in Robert Louis Stevenson's 1883 novel Treasure Island, as he and Nat, daughter of Long John Silver, also a character in Treasure Island, return to the island visited by their fathers to claim abandoned bar silver.

Silver (Johnny Cash album)

Silver is the 62nd album by American country singer Johnny Cash, released on Columbia Records in 1979. It peaked at #28 on the albums chart. "(Ghost) Riders In The Sky" peaked at #2 on the singles chart; the two other singles, "Bull Rider" and "I'll Say It's True", reached #66 and #42, respectively. Other highlights include "The L & N Don't Stop Here Anymore" and "I'm Gonna Sit on the Porch and Pick on My Guitar". Recordings of "Cocaine Blues" had previously appeared on At Folsom Prison and Now, There Was a Song!, under the title "Transfusion Blues" on the latter. The album also featured production by Brian Ahern, who controversially introduced digital elements into the songs to the disapproval of some listeners. Silver was re-released in 2002 through Legacy Recordings, with remakes of two early Cash songs, "I Still Miss Someone" and "I Got Stripes," as bonus tracks; both are duets with George Jones. This is the last album that Marshall Grant, the original Tennessee Two bass player, played on. He departed from Cash's band the following year.
