The Silver State Trio is a Southern Gospel trio founded by Mark Gray, Donovon McNew, and Jimmy Carter (not the president). They sing mostly songs sung by Greater Vision.
Mark Gray's solo career includes three albums and eight Top 40 country hits, of which the highest-peaking is the #6 "Sometimes When We Touch", a cover of the Dan Hill song, which he recorded as a duet with Tammy Wynette. Gray also co-wrote "Take Me Down" and "The Closer You Get", both of which were originally recorded by Exile but later became Number One hits for Alabama.

Rishloo is an independent Seattle based progressive rock band which formed in late 2002. The band is highly influenced by artists such as Tool, A Perfect Circle, David Bowie, and Tori Amos, as is evident on their earlier material. The group is also influenced by such bands as Deftones, Elton John, The Beatles, The Mars Volta, System of a Down, Dredg, Pink Floyd, and Led Zeppelin.. Since it's inception, the band's line-up included vocalist Andrew Mailloux, bassist Sean Rydquist, and guitarist Dave Gillet. The current drummer is Jesse Smith, who replaced previous drummer Tyler sometime after the band began.
History
Since the group's inception, all of their material has been released independently. Their debut album, Terras Fames, was released in 2004, to positive reception. This release was followed by Eidolon in 2007, which was also received in a positive light.
Continuing as an entirely independent group, Rishloo have sold over 3,500 copies of their debut album, Terras Fames and over 4,500 copies of their second album, Eidolon, attracting thousands of fans online from around the globe. Interest in the band continues to grow on sites such as Reverb Nation, MySpace and Last.FM, where Rishloo has become one of the largest and fastest growing independent groups. With regards to Last.FM, there has been more than a five-fold increase in plays in recent times, jumping from 60,000 to over 320,000. An average of over 1,500 plays are added on a daily basis.
The band is currently working on their third album, Feathergun, to be released in Summer 2009.
Promotion
In order to promote themselves, Rishloo has played numerous gigs while touring across North America. As of June 2009, the band has played alongside others such as Judas Priest, Fair to Midland, Papa Roach, Sevendust, Ashes Divide, Trapt Strata, and Cold.

The Khumalo Derivative is a mathematical derivative that uses a differentiation technique that for any polynomial X , where n > 1 is more accurate than the traditional derivative for continuous functions. See []
Says because each n is different in a polynomial function ƒ(X) = X , there can be no general rule for the derivative. To say, ƒ′(X), the mathematical derivative, is equal to nX , is to over generalize, and assume that for every n, the polynomial behaves the same.
The Khumalo Derivative, kd, ƒ′<sub>k</sub>(X), refutes the general rule ƒ′(X) = nX except for a linear function. Each derivative of the polynomial must become more complex including properties from polynomials of a lesser degree. The kd is given as:
ƒ′<sub>k</sub>(X) = ƒ′(X) - ƒ′<sub>k</sub>(Xn-1) - R.
R is defined as the residual created by ∑(X → X) and R can always be solved.
For example, given ƒ(X) = X, the kd is the same as traditional derivative as there can be no ƒ′<sub>k</sub>(X ) or R.
Given ƒ(X) = X , ƒ′<sub>k</sub>(X ) does exist, and the kd begins to deviate from the traditional derivative. Instead of 2X the kd is 2X - 1.
Given ƒ(X) X , traditional derivative would be 3X , following the rule that the derivative, ƒ′(X) nX . The kd is markedly different at 3X - 3X + 1.
Given ƒ(X) = X , traditional derivative would be 4X , the kd on the other hand is 4X - 6X + 4X - 1.
The kd can be found in the paper "revisiting the rate of change" a paper written by Bhekuzulu Khumalo and the paper "The Variable Time: Crucial to Understanding Knowledge Economics"
If you did not know that the accurate function determining the rate of change for a function defined as X is 3X - 3X + 1 rather than 3X , then read the references before rushing to discredit something. The problem with the khumalo derivative has absolutely nothing to do with mathematics per se, it is strictly a racial issue, and that being the case, let blacks, Indians, Chinese, Asians read it, whites do not have to, and it is understandable and as simple as that. The world can not be always begging a white for approval even when we are right but not white.
A bone of contention with conservative white academia is why Bhekuzulu Khumalo named the derivative after himself, ignoring the fact that the methodology is correct. Khumalo discovered the methodology whilst researching how knowledge affects the internal time of different societies.
Bhekuzulu Khumalo understands the western mindset, especially when he was told not to include a unit for knowledge, blacks must just read theory from whites and apply it, implying if it is wrong a white person must fix it. The worst of course was when he was told it does not matter if you are right, your work will be read when you are dead, you are black. He understands the irrational fear of whites who need to claim they are the source of all theory, that is how one dominates a world culturally, therefore in most cases naming a differentiation process is not acceptable right or wrong, With the derivative, sorry, Newton was mostly wrong when it came to the polynomial, anybody who understands knowledge can easily know why, the techniques was not there at the time, even though the Khumalo derivative is a far stronger derivative for polynomials with a degree higher than 1, it is just more difficult, and the technique eluded westerners and it understandable that they are upset.
Bhekuzulu Khumalo is a knowledge economist who also gave knowledge its unit, the knowl.

Robert Bock is best known for his solo project titled Of the Opera. He also was one of the guitarists/vocalists in the Emo/Indie band Monday's Hero. Bock was also the front man of a band called Mkshift. He also toured with the Chicago-based band The Firebird Band
Of the Opera
Of the Opera began as a halfway house for Bock as he contemplated his next move after the demise of his former musical endeavor, Monday's Hero. It was a project that was pursued on the side while a member of The Firebird Band, and has now become Bock's sole musical effort.
Following the release of Study Natural Law he has played at high profile venues such as The Metro (Chicago) and the South by Southwest (SXSW) festival in (Austin, Texas).
Early career
The Firebird Band
The Firebird Band is an indie rock band hailing from Chicago, Illinois. From 2005-2006 Bock toured with The Firebird Band and recorded guitars and keyboards on demos of 3 of the songs (unreleased) from the upcoming album this Fall 2007.
Moday's Hero
Monday's Hero was an Indie/Emo/Post-punk band from Chicago, Illinois. They were signed to Lucid Records out of Deerfield, Illinois. When Monday's Hero hooked up with Bock, it turned out to be exactly what the band needed to round out their unique and energetic indie rock sound. He played guitar and back-up vocals onLove Carries an Axe which was produced by Chris Broach (Braid, The Firebird Band, L'Spaerow).
Monday's Hero disbanded in 2005. Kyle Johns & Jay Warner have been on tour with Robert Bock, supporting his new solo project Of the Opera.
Mkshft
Is known to be the first band that Bock played in. He was the front-man until he joined Monday's Hero. They released "Caterwaul Effect" under this moniker.
