It is our pleasure to present the papers from the 20th International Workshop on Languages and Compilers for Parallel Computing For the past 19 years, this workshop has been one of the primary venues for presenting and learning about a wide rangeof currentresearchin parallelcomputing. We believe that tradition has continued in this, the 20th year of the workshop. This year, we received 49 paper submissions from 10 countries. About a quarter of the papers (12 out of 49) included authors from industry. We selected 23 papers to be presented at the workshop, for an acceptancerate of 47%, which was similar to that of the last two years. Each paper received at least three reviews, with about two-thirds of the papers getting four or more reviews each. Most papers also received at least one review from an external reviewer. The committeeheldafull-dayteleconferencetodiscussthereviewsandselectpapers. ProgramCommittee memberswho had a con?ict with a paper left the call when that paper was being discussed. There were seven submissions that included ProgramCommittee members as co-authors. These papers were evaluated more stringently and four of seven were accepted.

The word 'trinity' is not in the Bible. The expression of the doctrine was developed over a long period and finalised only in the fourth century. Many Christians who want to be biblical have questioned the official church doctrine on the Godhead. The following collection of articles from a a Seventh day Adventist conference in Sydney emphasises, however, that the concept of the trinity is thoroughly biblical. The book covers a variety of aspects of the discussion of the doctrine, both biblical, historical, and theological, such as the trinity in the gospel of John, the meaning of 'monegenes', Kellogg and the trinity, and Islam and the trinity.

You've heard the horror stories about stage parents fumbling away their child's career through ill-informed decisions or alienating their children from the industry by being behind-the-scenes tyrants. So how do you avoid becoming that stage parent while keeping your child happy, healthy, and working? Troy Rutter has helped establish some of Hollywood's best-known child actors, and in Kids in the Biz, he tells you exactly how to concentrate on getting your kid that big break without breaking up your family life. Kids in the Biz walks you through the entire process of building your youngster's acting career-from local commercial work, to getting an agent, to getting into Hollywood. Each step of the way Rutter gives you industry-smart advice and psychological insights to help you make decisions that build a resume and avoid burnout. Perhaps most important of all, he focuses a chapter on the often tricky financial workings of the acting business, giving you real-world facts and figures about how much your child can really expect to make in show business and how you can safeguard their earnings by avoiding scams. Plus, he includes examples of all the forms, contracts, letters, and other documents you'll need to get going, make connections, and support your child's career. So whether you think that your son's smile would be perfect for television or that Hollywood should bronze your daughter's star for the Walk of Fame today, read Kids in the Biz before your family takes that first step into the world of child acting.
