admin reacted to JOHN BUTLER in Who is the best male singer of all time?
Best not to judge one against another. I have no favourite singers at all, only sounds that i like.
I like the sounds of people's voices and/or groups/bands. But i have no interest in the person/people.
To me it's a bit like a bus driver or shopkeeper. Musicians do a job like anyone else. If you like the sound, if it makes you dance or makes you feel happy then it's that sound, either the voice or the music, not the person... Unless you are a screaming teenager of course, but that is just some sort of crazy hero worship.

admin reacted to JW Insider in Who is the best male singer of all time?
Depends on style, genre, stage presence, quality. The best reggae singer will not be the best jazz singer. This guy, below, has been around "for all time" during my lifetime. And I like what I have heard of his off-stage personality. A friend of ours saw him at a NYC dinner & music venue a couple years ago, and he was in the audience at a table with friends, making some very nice drawings of the stage artist, and greeting people with smiles and nice conversation.

The melancholy of this song is perfectly expressed on Karen's face (watch her) and in her powerfully, emotive vocals.

admin got a reaction from TheWorldNewsOrg in Pensar en ti
Pensando en ti Recordandote
Descubro cada amanecer
Sintiendote mas y mas en mi
Espero al sol mas de una vez
Y sucede que este tiempo sin amor
Me hizo saber
Que aunque existe otro camino
Va llenandose mi fe
Pensando en ti como entender
Lo que pasa en mi
Despues que ayer te pregunte
Si habia en ti amor dijiste no
Es algo extrao pero no
Y resulta que mi alma sigue igual
Formando tu figura
Hallando en tu sonrisa la felicidad
Pensar en ti, pensar en ti
Seria mas hermoso oir tu voz
Viajar al cielo ilusionada
Y regresar enamorada de mi amor
Pero puedo seguir, estando solo asi
Pensando en ti
Y resulta que mi alma sigue igual
Formando tu figura
Hallando en tu sonrisa la felicidad
Pensar en ti, pensar en ti
Seria mas hermoso oir tu voz
Viajar al cielo ilusionada
Y regresar enamorada de mi amor
Pero puedo seguir, estando solo asi
Pensando en ti

admin got a reaction from Health and Medicine in Beyond meat: The end of food as we know it?
With the latest breakthroughs in artificial intelligence a whole new concept of food may soon radically change what we eat. And at the same time, some experts believe, it could reduce global warming.No longer based on animal ingredients, this is a food entirely based on plants - although it looks and tastes like the classic food based on ingredients derived from animals.This is not a new idea, it has been around for about 10 years.But the breakthrough has been delayed, perhaps one of the reasons is that many consumers still prefer locally produced food, they want to trust the supply chain, and not simply depend on big manufacturers.However, a group of young scientists in Chile are working on alternatives for a sustainable and meatless future.Commercial engineer Matias Muchnick and Harvard research associate Karim Pichara are two of the founders of the Not Company. Together with biochemist Isidora Silva they are developing new plant-based food and are determined to bring it to people in their local market.Part of what motivates them is what they consider to be the biggest drawback of classic animal farming: It requires massive amounts of land and it affects global warming.According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, livestock contributes both directly and indirectly to climate change through the emissions of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide.Livestock is also a major driver of deforestation, desertification, as well as the release of carbon from cultivated soils. Overall the livestock sector is contributing 2.7 billion tonnes of CO2 emission according to the UN."When you get behind the scenes of the food industry, you don't like what you see. There is a lot of things that we should be knowing... but we are blindsided by a whole industry that is making it really hard for us to see what we are really eating," says Matias Muchnick. The main scientist of the Not Company team is a computer, an artificial intelligence algorithm programmed to become the smartest food scientist in the world.It uses deep learning parameters to understand food at a molecular level, helping the team to deliver tasty and affordable nutrition while using less water, less land, less energy, and without the need to cultivate harmful bio systems like animals.It's a complicated process but it's designed to understand human perception of taste and texture which allows it to suggest clever recipes for sustainable and tasty plant-based foods. And it even understands the availability and use of resources for every single plant in the company's database."We want people to eat better, but without even knowing, that's the main objective of the Not Company," Muchnick says. But does the new model of food production really work? Will it be popular among consumers? What does it mean for the future of food? Are we at the tipping point of a food revolution? The team behind the Not Company talks to Al Jazeera to discuss their work, their goals and their vision for the future of the food industry.

admin got a reaction from Money & Finance in FDA Wants To Outlaw Flavored Vape Juices!
The FDA Drops the Hammer on E-Cigs
"Oh that? That's just a thumb drive, mom."
Some of those e-cigarettes that have taken off in America's high schools could soon be banned for everyone...precisely because they've taken off in America's high schools.
"The number of teenagers we believe are now using these products...has reached an epidemic proportion," FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb said yesterday.
Per the CDC, of the 3.6 million middle- and high-schoolers who identify as tobacco users, 2.1 million (or ~58%) used e-cigs. So here's what Gottlieb's doing: The FDA told major e-cig manufacturers (Juul, Logic, MarkTen, blu, and Vuse) they have 60 days to come up with strategies to address use among teenagers.
And if they don't...regulators could force e-cig companies to drop all flavored tobacco products that appeal to kids (say goodbye to crème brûlée or fruit medley e-cigs).
Juul, which has captured ~72% of the $2.3 billion e-cig market, says it advertises to adults looking to quit smoking. But Gottlieb's take? "I am willing to narrow the off-ramp for adults to close the on-ramp for kids."

Just an FYI, not sure if anyone is aware that Facebook went down sometime ago prior to the situation with Israel.

admin reacted to James Thomas Rook Jr. in Scientists Reveal Strange Molecule That Can Store Sun's Energy For 18 Years
We already have ...and have had biochemical heat storage systems in place for many thousands of years.
It's called FIREWOOD.
With sunlight, carbon is extracted from the CO2 in the air and stored in the wood, and oxygen is expelled as a very helpful waste product.
Collections of these energy storage molecules, called cellulose, are currently destroying large parts of California with their released heat.
