Great Performances . Aida's Brothers and Sisters: Black Voices in Opera With Jessye Norman performing at the Clinton inauguration, Kathleen Battle appearing as the Vatican's Easter Mass soloist, and Simon Estes singing Wotan at New York's Metropolitan Opera, contemporary audiences may take for granted the prominence of African-American singers in opera. Yet it was just 50 years ago that Marian Anderson was barred from Washington's Constitution Hall, and black opera performers have trod a stony path to reach the pinnacle of today's success. Framed by archival clips and new musical sequences, AÏDA'S BROTHERS AND SISTERS: BLACK VOICES IN OPERA tells the story of African Americans in opera from the time of the legendary Paul Robeson. Featured in interviews are Barbara Hendricks, Grace Bumbry, Simon Estes, Robert McFerrin (the first black baritone to perform at the Met) and his son Bobby McFerrin, Shirley Verrett, and many others, as well as insights from opera company directors and orchestra conductors.

La química en el amor ¿Te ha pasado que cuando ves a una persona por primera vez, comienzas a sudar como nunca, tienes palpitaciones, tus manos tiemblan, te ruborizas, sientes ese cosquilleo en el estómago; se te va la onda, tartamudeas y comienzas a reirte de la nada?. Bueno pues esto indica nada más y nada menos que aquella persona que esta frente a ti es bioquimicamente tu media naranja. Es a quien has estado esperado por mucho tiempo. Esta sensaciones tienen su porque en fundamentos psicológicos y físicos que se van construyendo desde la niñez. Antes de que una persona se fije en otra, ya ha construido un mapa mental, un molde completo de circuitos cerebrales que determinan lo que le hará enamorarse de una persona y no de otra. El sexólogo John Money considera que los niños desarrollan esos mapas entre los 5 y 8 años de edad, en base a las asociaciones con miembros de su familia, amigos, con experiencias y hechos fortuitos.

Legal intoxicant - Wikipedia Legal intoxicants, also known as legal drugs or, more commonly, as legal highs, are those intoxicating drugs which are either completely legal or not commonly prohibited by various drug laws. The most widely consumed legal intoxicant is alcohol—legal throughout the vast majority of the world's countries—but a wide array of other drugs are also not specifically banned in many international jurisdictions: these may vary from native intoxicating plants historically used by indigenous cultures to foodstuffs eaten in various parts of the world, to modern compounds and designer drugs that have not been defined as illegal, or even long-standing medicines that have intoxicating or anesthetic side effects. Where legislation imposes a general ban on psychoactive substances (as in Ireland), legal intoxicants are limited to those substances specifically exempted.
