The study, one of the most ambitious in which 145 experts from 50 countries participated, reached that conclusion after analyzing over three years more than 15,000 scientific and governmental sources on the relationship between economic development and its impact on nature.

One million species are currently in danger of extinction, and biodiversity is declining globally to unprecedented levels in human history. number of any other time in the history of mankind.

"Ecosystems, species, wild populations, local varieties and domesticated plants and animals are shrinking,

deteriorating or disappearing.

The essential, interconnected web of life on Earth is becoming smaller and more and more fragile," lamented Professor Josef Settele.

But not all is bad news. The

report argues that it is not too late to stop or even begin to reverse these worrisome trends, but only if we start at this very moment at all levels, from small communities to the global scale.

It is a common place to say that a problem can only be solved if its existence is recognized.

The IPBES report is a call for help, but it is also a call to action.

Nobody can profess ignorance.

Now that we understand the dimension of the problem we can execute a plan starting now - from the individual level to the institutional one - its recommendations of common sense. https://www.ipbes.net/ global-assessment-experts.

UN MILLÓN DE ESPECIES EN PELIGRO José López Zamorano La Red Hispana

L

a conclusión de uno de los estudios científicos intergubernamentales más completos es escalofriante: un millón de especies se encuentran en este momento en peligro de extinción y la biodiversidad está declinando globalmente a niveles sin precedentes en la historia humana.

“La salud de los ecosistemas de los que depende el ser humano y otras especies está deteriorándose más rápidamente que nunca. Estamos erosionando los cimientos de nuestras economías, seguridad alimentaria, salud y calidad de vida a nivel internacional”, sostiene Sir Robert Watson, presidente de la Plataforma de Política Científica sobre Biodiversidad y Ecosistemas (IPBES).

El estudio, uno de los más ambiciosos en el que participaron 145 expertos de 50 países, llegó a esa conclusión después de analizar durante tres años más de 15,000 fuentes científicas y gubernamentales sobre la relación entre el desarrollo económico y su impacto sobre la naturaleza.

El dato más espeluznante es que un total de 1 millón de especies animales y plantas están ahora amenazadas con extinción, muchas de ellas en el lapso de décadas, la cifra más alta de que

ONE MILLION SPECIES IN DANGER

he conclusion of one of the most complete intergovernmental scientific studies is chilling: one million species are currently in danger of extinction, and biodiversity is declining globally to unprecedented levels in human history.

"The health of the ecosystems on which human beings and other species depend is deteriorating faster than ever before.

We are eroding the foundations of our economies, food security, health and quality of life at the international level, "says Sir Robert Watson, president of the Platform for Scientific Policy on Biodiversity and Ecosystems (IPBES).

Un millón de especies están actualmente en peligro de extinción, la cifra más alta en toda la historia de la humanidad en cualquier otro momento de la historia de la humanidad.

“Ecosistemas, especies, poblaciones silvestres, variedades locales y plantas domesticadas y animales están encogiéndose,

deteriorándose o desapareciendo. La telaraña esencial, interconectada de la vida sobre la Tierra está haciéndose más pequeña y cada vez más frágil”, lamentó el profesor Josef Settele.

Pero no todas son malas noticias.

El informe sostiene que no es tarde para frenar o incluso empezar a revertir estas tendencias preocupantes, pero sólo si empezamos en este mismo momento en todos los niveles, desde las

pequeñas comunidades hasta la escala global.

Se trata pues de sumar voluntades para llevar a cabo lo que el informe denomina como un “cambio transformativo”, es decir una reorganización fundamental de los sistemas mundiales a través de factores tecnológicos, económicos y sociales incluyendo nuevos paradigmas, metas y valores, según explica Watson.

Entre las opciones: promover las mejores prácticas agrícolas, manejo pesquero con base en esquemas sustentables, colaboración en el uso del agua, mejor acceso a áreas verdes en comunidades pobres, aliento a la producción y consumo de alimentos orgánicos, así como la participación de las comunidades indígenas.

Es un lugar común afirmar que sólo se puede resolver un problema si se reconoce su existencia. El informe de IPBES es un llamado de auxilio, pero también es un llamado a la acción. Nadie puede profesar ignorancia. Ahora que entendemos la dimensión del problema y ejecutar desde ya –desde el nivel individual hasta el institucional— sus recomendaciones de sentido común. https://www.ipbes.net/ global-assessment-experts Para más información visita La Red Hispana.Com.

Amy Riolo Special to El Observador

ay is Mediterranean Diet Month, and with Mother's Day just around the corner, most of us are busy planning the perfect present for Mom. The usual gifts of flowers and cards are nice ideas, but the greatest gift you could give your mother is helping her achieve lasting health.

The best way to show love to your mother on Mother's Day is by making a meaningful contribution to her life. Let your mom know that you love her, and that's why you want her to live a long, healthy, and happy life. Introducing her to the healthful and delicious dishes from the Mediterranean region is a great way to do just that.

You've likely heard of the Mediterranean diet, which was recently named best overall diet of 2019 and has been shown to help extend your lifespan by roughly a decade. This eating pattern has also been linked to preventing heart attacks, strokes, certain cancers, and diabetes, and reducing inflammation. It may even help lower your risk of dementia by a third.

The Mediterranean eating pattern centers around seasonal produce, fish and seafood, poultry, eggs, dairy, and small amounts of meat and sweets. Part of what makes this diet so successful is that people in the Mediterranean region consider food to be a friend and ally—a source of pleasure, nutrition, history, medicine, and tradition.

When combined with lifestyle choices like com-

munal eating and physical activity, the Mediterranean diet is believed to contribute to remarkable longevity in the region. For example, residents in Sardinia are ten times more likely to live past 100 than people in the United States.

Mother's Day is the perfect time to help your mother make the lifestyle changes that can give her a longer and more joyful life. Read on for two ways you can celebrate your love for your mom and help her start living a healthier life.

Prepare a delicious Mediterranean-style Mother's Day lunch. Show Mom how much you love her by preparing her a special Mother's Day meal. Offering a lunch that features delicious and healthy Mediterranean-inspired dishes is the perfect way to celebrate with your mom and the rest of your family. Not only is this a great time to enjoy healthy food, it's also a chance to reap the benefits of communal eating, a long-upheld tradition in Mediterranean communities. Sharing a table and enjoying camaraderie with loved ones provides a sense of comfort, security, and stability.

Help her stock a healthy Mediterranean pantry. A well-stocked pantry saves time, money, and stress, and makes it easy to eat more healthy meals. With a full Mediterranean pantry in place, Mom can whip up fresh and delicious dishes in just minutes. For Mother's Day, treat her to a shopping trip and stock her pantry with the basics she'll need to continue cooking healthy meals.

ayo es el mes de la dieta mediterránea, y con el Día de la Madre a la vuelta de la esquina, la mayoría de nosotros estamos ocupados planeando el regalo perfecto para mamá. Los regalos habituales de flores y tarjetas son buenas ideas, pero el mejor regalo que podría darle a su madre es ayudarla a lograr una salud duradera.

La mejor manera de mostrarle amor a tu madre en el Día de la Madre es haciendo una contribución significativa a su vida.

Hazle saber a tu madre que la amas, y es por eso que quieres que viva una vida larga, saludable y feliz. Presentarla a los platos saludables y deliciosos de la región mediterránea es una excelente manera de hacerlo.

Es probable que haya oído hablar de la dieta mediterránea, que recientemente fue nombrada la mejor dieta general de 2019 y se ha demostrado que ayuda a prolongar su vida útil en aproximadamente una década. Este patrón de alimentación también se ha relacionado con la prevención de ataques cardíacos, accidentes cerebrovasculares, ciertos tipos de cáncer y diabetes, y la reducción de la inflamación. Incluso puede ayudar a reducir su riesgo de demencia en un tercio.

El patrón de alimentación mediterráneo se centra en productos de temporada, pescados y mariscos, aves, huevos, productos lácteos y pequeñas cantidades de carne y dulces. Parte de lo que hace que esta dieta sea tan exitosa es que las personas en la región del Mediterráneo consideran que los alimentos son amigos y aliados, una fuente de placer, nutrición, historia, medicina y tradición. Cuando se combina con opciones de estilo de vida como la alimentación comunitaria y la actividad física, se cree que la dieta mediterránea contribuye a una notable longevidad en la región. Por ejemplo, los residentes en Cerdeña tienen diez veces más probabilidades de vivir más de 100 que las personas en los Estados Unidos.

El Día de la Madre es el momento perfecto para ayudar a su madre a hacer los cambios en el estilo de vida que pueden

darle una vida más larga y feliz. Sigue leyendo dos maneras en que puedes celebrar tu amor por tu madre y ayudarla a comenzar a vivir una vida más saludable.

Preparar un delicioso almuerzo de día de la madre de estilo mediterráneo.

Muéstrale a mamá cuánto la amas preparándole una comida especial para el Día de la Madre. Ofrecer un almuerzo con deliciosos y saludables platos inspirados en el Mediterráneo es la manera perfecta de celebrar con tu madre y el resto de tu familia.

No solo es un buen momento para disfrutar de una comida saludable, sino también para aprovechar los beneficios de la alimentación comunitaria, una tradición que se mantiene desde hace mucho tiempo en las comunidades mediterráneas. Compartir una mesa y disfrutar de la camaradería con sus seres queridos proporciona una sensación de comodidad, seguridad y estabilidad.

Ayúdala a surtir una saludable despensa mediterránea. Una despensa bien surtida ahorra tiempo, dinero y estrés, y facilita comer comidas más saludables.

Con una despensa completamente mediterránea en su lugar, mamá puede preparar platos frescos y deliciosos en solo minutos. Para el Día de la Madre, invítele a un viaje de compras y llene su despensa con lo básico que necesitará para seguir cocinando comidas saludables.

S TA R T W I T H T R U S T W H E N H I R I N G A WEDDING PLANNER WITH THESE BBB TIPS

for you. Wedding day coordination planners may be the more budget friendly option; but, if hiring a full-time wedding planner is within your budget, it’ll save you time and stress. Keep in mind that planners usually charge in one of three ways: a flat fee; an hourly rate; or a percentage of your overall wedding bill. Typically, couples designate around 10-20% of the overall budget to hiring a planner.

• Do your homework. Start your search for a trustworthy wedding planner at bbb.org. Be sure to check out the planner’s past work to see if it is what you imagine your wedding to look like. Odds are, planners have a certain wedding style they’re best at, so finding a planner that fits your aesthetic vision makes it easier.

• Have options. Asking family and friends for recommendations isn’t a bad idea. If they have worked together in the past, you are more informed of how the consultant operates. When you have a list of potential planners, meet each of them in person to get to know them better. Having options to choose from eases the pressure of settling for one.

You will be spending a good amount of time with them, so make sure you both mesh well.

couple’s wedding is one of the most important days in their lives, so it’s understandable they want everything to go according to plan.

Unfortunately, it isn’t always easy. Weddings have many moving parts: venues, officiants, caterers, cakes, DJs, dresses and tuxedos, limos, photographers and more.

With all those moving parts, things sometimes go wrong for a few reasons. Honest mistakes are inevitable, but doing prior research is essential for investing in hiring a wedding planner.

In 2018, Consumers nationwide filed nearly 100 complaints on wedding consultants. Two of the most common types of complaints include sales and service issues.

D ow

• Ask Questions. With many questions in mind, write them down before your meeting to make sure you get them all answered. A few common questions are: What’s your availability? How do you charge for your services?

Will you charge extra for mileage and supplies used for the wedding? What will your service cover? Do you have references or certifications? What background knowledge do you have with event planning? Do you work with a team? Will you go with me to my dress fittings? The list goes on.

• Get everything in writing. Before signing any contract, examine it carefully. Make sure the dates of service are correct and the compensation is what was agreed upon with no hidden fees. Don’t feel pressured to pay everything upfront before the service is provided.

Wedding services vary depending on your needs. Consultants can help you plan the wedding from start to finish, while “day-of planners” will only be there to help with the ceremony you already planned.

Tenga en cuenta que los planificadores generalmente cobran en una de tres maneras: una tarifa plana; una tarifa por hora; o un porcentaje de su factura general de la boda.

a boda de una pareja es uno de los días más importantes de sus vidas, así que es comprensible que quieran que todo vaya según lo planeado.

Desafortunadamente, no siempre es fácil. Las bodas tienen muchas partes móviles: lugares, oficiantes, catering, pasteles, DJs, vestidos y Esmóquines, limusinas, fotógrafos y más. Con todas esas partes móviles, las cosas a veces van mal por algunas razones. Los errores honestos son inevitables, pero hacer una investigación previa es esencial para invertir en contratar a un planificador de bodas.

En 2018, los consumidores de todo el país presentaron casi 100 quejas sobre consultores de bodas. Dos de los tipos más comunes de quejas incluyen las ventas y los problemas de servicio.

Los servicios de bodas varían según sus necesidades.

Los consultores pueden ayudarle a planear la boda de principio a fin, mientras que el "día de los planificadores" sólo estará allí para ayudar con la ceremonia que ya planeó.

Para ayudar a asegurar que su día especial es libre de estrés, siga estos consejos de BBB en la elección del planificador de bodas adecuado: • Comprenda su presupuesto. Conocer su presupuesto para la boda le ayudará a determinar si contratar a un planificador es adecuado para usted. Los planificadores de coordinación del día de la boda pueden ser la opción más amigable para el presupuesto; pero, si contratar a un pl-

• Haz tu tarea. Comience su búsqueda de un planificador de bodas de confianza en bbb.org. Asegúrese de revisar el trabajo pasado del planificador para ver si es lo que imagina que su boda parece. Las probabilidades son, los planificadores tienen un cierto estilo de la boda que son mejores en, así que encontrar un planificador que se adapte a su visión estética lo hace más fácil.

• Tener opciones. Pedir recomendaciones a familiares y amigos no es una mala idea. Si han trabajado juntos en el pasado, están más informados de cómo opera el consultor. Cuando tenga una lista de planificadores potenciales, reúnelos en persona para conocerlos mejor. Tener opciones para elegir alivia la presión de decantarse por uno.

Pasarás una buena cantidad de tiempo con ellos, así que asegúrate de que ambos se Mallan bien.

• Hacer preguntas. Con muchas preguntas en mente, escríbelas antes de tu reunión para asegurarte de que las contestes todas. Algunas preguntas comunes son: ¿Cuál es su disponibilidad? ¿Cómo cobra por sus servicios? ¿Cobrará extra por el kilometraje y los suministros utilizados para la boda? ¿Qué cubrirá el servicio? ¿Tiene referencias o certificaciones? ¿Qué conocimiento de fondo tiene con la planificación de eventos? ¿Trabajas con un equipo? ¿Irás conmigo a mis trajes de vestir? La lista continúa.

SANTO PATRONO DE LOS INMIGRANTES: SANTO TORIBIO ROMO Mario Jiménez Castillo El Observador

Toribio Romo González(1920-1928) nació en Santa Ana de Guadalupe, Jalostotitlán, Jalisco, México. Sus padres y demás familia se ocupan en labores agrícolas.

Desde muy niño se observó su vocación hacia el sacerdocio. Su hermana María siempre le apoyó y gracias a ella se animó a ingresar al Seminario Auxiliar de San Juan de los Lagos. Ya en el seminario y siendo un adolescente comenzó su gran obra: auxiliaba a los enfermos, procuraba alimentos a los más necesitados, era compasivo con los animales y brindaba protección a los huérfanos, inmigrantes y desamparados.

A los 21 años de edad ingresó al Seminario de Guadalajara. En 1927 siendo ya sacerdote, fue trasladado a la Parroquia de Tequila, en esos años había estallado la guerra de los cristeros, las autoridades civiles y militares perseguían con severidad a los sacerdotes, se les acusaba de exaltar a las masas en contra de la opresión militar y del gobierno.

Tequila era un municipio peligroso para vivir siendo párroco o sacerdote. Santo Toribio se las ingenió para celebrar misas clandestinas y atender a los fieles católicos en una fábrica abandonada.

Su hermano Román que también se había ordenado como sacerdote estaba con él y su hermana María les ayudaba a ambos en su misión religiosa.

En 1928 tuvo que esconderse pues su vida corría peligro, le buscaban para asesinarlo, una noche sus verdugos dieron con su escondite y le acribillaron.

Estuvo en agonía por varios minutos y antes de morir le confesó a sus hermanos que había ofrecido su vida a cambio de un cese de hostilidades contra los sacerdotes y la fe católica.

Santo Toribio murió como mártir de la fe cristiana el 25 de febrero de 1928.

Ilumínales con la santa y bienaventurada luz del Todopoderoso.

En el año 1948 sus restos fueron trasladados del panteón municipal de Tequila a la capilla construida por él mismo en Jalostotitlán.

anta Clara County, CA -The County of Santa Clara Behavioral Health Services Department kicked off mental health month by recognizing community members who have made an extraordinary difference in the lives of people with behavioral health challenges.

For the first time a Media Community Hero was awarded. It went to Ed Clendaniel, San Jose Mercury News Editor, who followed the Recommendations on Safe Reporting on Suicides in his powerful editorial following the 2018 celebrity suicides. Mr. Clendaniel wrote an opinion piece about his own brother’s suicide, which included important information that the safe reporting guidelines recommend.

Recommendations that were followed included providing hot line resource numbers so people can get help, addressing the issue of stigma around talking about suicide and tackling the complexity of suicides.

Another 9 Community Hero Awards were presented and 10 law enforcement officers (see attached) were recognized for their work as Crisis Intervention Team members. Crisis Intervention Teams are trained to recognize and address the needs of people with mental illness in

He said we have to recognize that fire is a natural part of the landscape.

While the severity of wildfires in the Northwest has grown, a new study finds only about a tenth of the historical acreage burns each year.

EATTLE — While the Northwest has seen massive infernos in recent years, a new report shows its forests actually are experiencing a historical deficit of fires. That deficit could be fueling recent, dangerous wildfire seasons.

The study conducted by The Nature Conservancy, U.S. Forest Service and University of Idaho shows only one-tenth of forest acreage in Washington and Oregon burned between 1984 and 2015, compared with a century earlier. However, 36 percent of those fires were high severity, compared with about 6% - 9% historically.

Ryan Haugo, the study's lead author and conservation science director at The Nature Conservancy in Oregon, said with

the added pressure of climate change, the need to better manage forests is urgent.

"We need to look for opportunities in which we can have the fire that is going to occur burn at times and under conditions which are both safer to our communities, safer to our health, and more able to restore and replicate the natural ecological processes,” Haugo said.

This week begins a two-week period of prescribed fire training in central Washington, which is used to rid the forest of fuel for the most intense wildfires.

Historically, low- and mediumseverity fires played this role.

The study found the fire deficit is worse in eastern Washington and Oregon, where only 3 percent of the historical acreage has burned.

Jon Bakker, a professor with the University of Washington's

"We're either going to have it in the times when we want it to happen through prescriptions, or it's going to happen in larger, uncontrollable crown fires, as we've seen in the last few years,” Bakker said.

Washington Department of Natural Resources forest health scientist Derek Churchill said a combination of good fire suppression and removing fire-resistant trees has made forests more vulnerable. He said prescribed and managed fires are key, and also noted mechanical thinning of the debris that fuels those fires is critical to maintain forests.

"This study really quantified the amount of treatment it's going to take to do that maintenance over time,” Churchill said. “It gave us an idea in a really compelling way.”

Haugo noted the study is not advocating a return to historical numbers, which could be dangerous to communities and also because many fire-resistant trees are missing from forests due to past management decisions.

Mientras aumenta la severidad de los incendios en el Noroeste, un nuevo estudio encuentra que sólo son la décima parte de los acres que históricamente arden cada año.

Eric Tegethoff/ Alfonso López-Collada Public News Service

S

EATTLE – En un estudio reciente se destaca la importancia de la gestión de bosques y el reconocimiento del papel natural que juega el fuego en los bosques del Noroeste.

Mientras que el Noroeste ha visto infiernos masivos en años recientes, un nuevo reporte indica que sus bosques están experimentando realmente una reducción histórica de incendios. Ese déficit puede estar alimentando temporadas recientes de peligrosos fuegos forestales.

El estudio (en inglés), desarrollado por “The Nature Conservancy”, el Servicio Forestal de los Estados Unidos y la Universidad de Idaho, muestra que sólo un décimo de los acres de bosques de Washington y Oregon ardieron durante 1984 y 2015, comparado con un siglo atrás. De cualquier manera, 36 por ciento de esos incendios fueron muy severos, comparados con un 6 ó 9 por ciento histórico.

Ryan Haugo, autor líder del estudio, dice que con la presión agregada por el cambio climático, es urgente la necesidad de administrar mejor los bosques.

“Debemos buscar que cada incendio que vaya a ocurrir arda en momentos y bajo condiciones que sean seguras para nuestras comunidades y para nuestra salud, y que ofrezcan más opciones de reparar y copiar los procesos ecológicos naturales.”

Esta semana comienza una capacitación de dos semanas sobre el combate de incendios en el centro de Washington, que se enfoca en eliminar el combustible de los bosques y evitar los incendios más intensos.

Históricamente, los fuegos de intensidad baja y media cumplían esta función. El estudio encontró que el déficit de incendios es mayor en el este de Washington y de Oregon, donde sólo se ha consumido un 3 por ciento de los acres históricos.

Haugo destaca que el estudio no promueve un regreso a las cifras históricas, que pudiera ser peligroso para las comunidades, además de que muchos árboles resistentes al fuego están desapareciendo de los bosques debido a decisiones de la administración anterior.

Jon Bakker, profesor en la “Escuela de Ciencias Ambientales de los Bosques y la Foresta” (School of Environmental and Forest Sciences) de la Universidad de Washington, ha estudiado los incendios en la parte oeste del estado y encontró que también ahí hay déficit de incendios. Agrega que debemos reconocer que el fuego es una parte natural del paisaje.

supresión del buen fuego y la remoción de residuos de los árboles han hecho que los bosques sean más vulnerables. Agrega que los incendios prescritos y administrados son clave, y destaca que también la reducción mecánica de los residuos que alimentan esos incendios, son críticos para conservar los bosques.

“Este estudio de veras cuantificó cuánto tratamiento se necesita para poder brindar ese mantenimiento a largo plazo, nos dio una idea muy convincentemente.”

Clerk, by (Secretario, por) Damon Otwell, Deputy (Asistente): STANDARD FAMILY LAW RESTRAINING ORDERS Starting immediately, you and your spouse or domestic partner are restrained from 1. Removing the minor child or children of the parties from the state or applying for a new or replacement passport for those minor children without the prior written consent of the other party or an order of the court; 2.

Creating a nonprobate transfer or modifying a

nonprobate transfer in a manner that affects the disposition of property subject to the transfer, without the written consent of the other party or an order of the court. Before revocation of a nonprobate transfer can take effect or a right of survivorship to property can be eliminated, notice of the change must be filed and served on the other party.

You must notify each other of any proposed extraordinary expenditures at least five business days prior to incurring these extraordinary expenditures and account to the court for all extraordinary expenditures made after these restraining orders are effective.

You should consult your attorney if you want the community property presumption to be written into the recorded title to the property.

production, Amper promises ease of use in finding the music “that fits the exact style, length, and structure you want.” Amper also offers an API that lets you integrate its music composition capabilities into your own tools. You can hear some of its music here.

Craft can easily be ignored.

IBM WATSON BEAT Watson Beat is a cognitive cloud-based app being developed by machine learning and artificial intelligence expert Janani Mukundan, who teamed up with Richard Daskas, a composer and professional musician, to teach Watson about rhythm, pitch, and instrumentation, as well as the differences in genres. Watson’s neural network then helps artists (like Alex da Kid) create original compositions.

The distinction between “art” and “craft” is critical. One has magical qualities that touch your soul; the other is just “nicely done.” That said, neither art nor craft should ever be confused with technical skill; just because you can type 120 words per minute does not mean you can write a novel.

JUKEDECK

The Verge article explored the evolution of human/AI copyright ownership.

“What happens if AI software trained solely on Beyoncé creates a track that sounds just like her?” It is also the wrong question. Every human learns music by doing everything humanly possible to mimic other musicians (starting with their own music teachers).

How would artificial musical intelligence learn music without “listening” to other musicians? And, other than attempting to create a musical Jurassic Park, why would you ever train any musician (AI or human) on only one other musician’s work? A quick answer might be to capitalize on the creative genius of one particular musical star, like Beyoncé.

What you may not know is that there are literally hundreds (probably thousands) of human composers and producers who can convincingly create a track that even Beyoncé would think she wrote, performed, and produced.

Great music is everywhere. Sadly, it’s not the part of the music business that actually sells music. Beyoncé is a package that includes brains, marketing, business, organizational, social, and human skills all wrapped up in a beautiful bundle of extraordinary talent. Her business acumen, style, smile, manner, musicianship, dancing, and relationships all contribute to her success.

If you created the music in a vacuum – no pictures, no dancing, no fashion, no social media, no power couple, no hype – just music, no one would care that any particular song sounded like her songs sound.

In other words, if I do a perfect Beyoncé knock-off and put it on YouTube, there are absolutely no guarantees of success. In fact, because it would be so close to something we’ve heard a lot of, it would probably have less chance of finding an audience.

WHAT ARE WE REALLY DEALING WITH? Can AI create “real” music? Has been asked and answered. David Cope is Dickerson Emeriti Professor and teaches theory and composition at the University of California at Santa Cruz.

He has worked on many different music creation algorithms (perhaps his most famous is EMI – Experiments in Musical Intelligence).

Cope used EMI to compose Zodiac, twelve short works for string orchestra in the style of Vivaldi. Here’s a link to one movement called Taurus. This was done back in 2012 – all musical AI has improved exponentially since that time.

Jukedeck is based on state-of-theart technology built to bring artificial intelligence to music composition and production. They are training deep neural networks to understand music composition at a granular level, so that they can build tools to aid creativity.

When you think of the music business, you think of your favorite singers, musicians, musical entertainers, favorite kinds of music. But there’s another side of the music business, the commercial side. The vast majority of music you hear in movies, on television, and in commercials is in the background. It is there to evoke a feeling. Sometimes, there’s a “sonic signature” (aka sonic branding) – the new fancy words for “the hook.”

do over 90 percent of the production work needed in the commercial music business. Can it write a symphony? Yes. Could it write a symphony that people would buy tickets to hear or stream or download? When is the last time you went to hear a symphony perform (other than at a “Mostly Mozart” concert)? But AI could easily compose a Vivaldi-like (Italian Baroque) piece that, if used as transitional music in a documentary or under dialogue and sound effects, would more than do the job.

In some movies (ones we love), music is a character. In others, musical

Could a lifelong, professional musician tell that piece was written by AI? Maybe.

I’ve been composing and producing music professionally for over 50 years.

I can tell you with extreme confidence that the business of music is about to evolve exponentially. Costs of production are going to approach zero.

themes are closely associated with a character (think John Williams’s Darth Vader theme from Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back, or his main theme from Jaws). But most of the time, the job of the musical score is to be supportive of the storyline. It is a tool that many directors and producers use brilliantly (and that some truly suck at).

Either way, the music composed and produced for such uses is manufactured factory-style. It is a seriously cost-competitive business at the bottom, there is no middle, and the high-end is so insecure with its abilities to pick the right music that buyers simply overpay popular artists and bask their projects in the halo of stars.

This is a long way of saying, AI can

It depends on too many factors to go into here. Could a discerning audience?

Highly doubtful. In fact, I’m going to put a flag in the ground here and simply say no. If they were not informed (warned), no general audience would have a clue as to how the track was created, nor would the audience care.

The reason is simple. The vast majority of professional composers and producers (even the most successful ones) are journeymen, not Vivaldi and certainly not Mozart. And with all due respect, Beyoncé is an entertainer who uses music as her preferred medium to entertain you.

As exciting and wonderful of an artist as she is (I am a fan), she is not in the musical company of Vivaldi or Mozart – and Williams, who is one of the greatest

Google’s NSynth “uses deep neural networks to generate sounds at the level of individual samples,” which offers artists control over the timbre and dynamics of the music they create, as well as a level of control and experimentation that a hand-tuned synthesizer cannot offer.

SONY’S FLOW MACHINES Flow Machines uses machine learning and signal processing technology to assist in the creation of music. Its core component, Flow Machines Professional, can be used to create custom melodies using Flow Machines’ music rules, which were created via music analysis.

These are just a few of the AI systems being trained as co-composers, coproducers, and co-performers, or as flat-out replacements for human musicians. Will you be able to tell the difference between musical works done completely by AI, co-created works, and pure human works? This is not a question for the future. Most people can’t tell the difference now.

So, get ready for musical warning labels on video games, movies, TV shows, videos, retail shops, malls, elevators, dance clubs, bars, restaurants, hotel lobbies, and other places that use voluminous amounts of commercial music that say something like,

Oregon's lead-ammunition program is voluntary, and Nevada doesn't regulate it at all.

Condors also fall victim to certain types of anticoagulant rat poison by eating tainted carcasses. Assembly Bill 1788partially addresses the issue by banning the chemicals on state land, but Flick said the main problem is with illegal marijuana operations.

Los cóndores también son víctimas de ciertos tipos de veneno anticoagulante de ratas al comer canales contaminadas. El Proyecto de Ley de la Asamblea 1788 aborda parcialmente el problema al prohibir los productos químicos en tierras estatales, pero Flick dijo que el principal problema es con las operaciones ilegales de marihuana.

"Thousands of illegal marijuana farms have been identified here in California," she said, "with a substantial concentration of these sites located in the area of release in northwest California."

Condors once were almost extinct, but now, an estimated 290 birds fly free in California and Mexico.

RCATA, Calif. - The California condor soon may return to the skies in northwestern California - but conservation groups are calling for action to improve their chances of survival.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, along with the Yurok Tribe, have proposed reintroducing the condor to the northern part of its historic range, which includes Oregon and northern Nevada. However, Pamela Flick, senior California representative for the group Defenders of Wildlife, said the states need some policy changes to pave the way.

"Defenders of Wildlife remains concerned about releasing condors into a landscape rife with threats to their continued survival," she said, "from the familiar threat of lead poisoning to the emerging threat of rodenticide poisoning."

The public can weigh in on the federal environmental assessment of the condor reintroduction program Thursday morning in Klamath and at an evening meeting in Arcata.

The California condor almost went extinct in 1985, with only 22 birds remaining. But there are now 290 birds in southern California and the Baja Peninsula in Mexico, thanks to successful reintroduction programs there.

apachula, Mexico - Stepped-up surveillance on Mexico's southern border has not halted the stream of migrants, mainly from Central America, who have chosen to travel north by secondary routes in search of their American dream.

After four years during which migrants had ceased to travel on the freight train known as "the Beast," hundreds of women, men and children are riding it once more, with migrants waiting day and night for its departure.

Others have chosen to skirt the Pacific coast or hike through the hills, risking capture by human traffickers.

The traffickers transport them in shabby old trucks racing along mountainous routes where they might get in crashes like those that occurred recently, and then be left to their own devices.

According to the National Migration Institute (INM), 20,596 foreigners applied for humanitarian visas on Mexico's southern border during the month of April, of whom 14,970 were returned to their countries of origin. These included Haitians, Cubans and Central Americans who did not fulfill the requirements.

Meanwhile undocumented individuals have escaped from the migration centers where they were being held, as occurred in two incidents recently, one in Tapachula and the other at Comitan in the southeastern Mexican state of Chiapas, where hundreds of Cubans and Central Americans fled the installations in a mad scramble.

Many Cubans have accused the INM of violating human rights and that in the Tapachula facility the living conditions are unbearable.

At the same time, overpopulation makes these centers unhealthy, medical attention is insufficient, and there are constant outbreaks of violence.

The latest escape from the Tapachula center occurred this Sunday before dawn, when, according to the INM, a group of Cubans "promoted a non-authorized exit from the installations."

"Institute personnel avoided the confrontation and acted prudently. In that incident, 90 people left the migrant center without authorization," the institute stated, adding that "minor damages were inflicted on the building and the INM is bringing the corresponding criminal charges."

Following the escapes, the INM is continuing search operations plus the strengthening of security inside and outside the facilities.

In view of the deportation of their compatriots, some Cubans who have been stranded for some four months on the border are seeking asylum in Mexico, fearing they will be put on trial if they return home.

Meanwhile, social organizations like Voces Mesoamericanas have recommended that the government change its migration strategy so as not to repeat the old ways of favoring persecution and criminalization of people in need of protection.

In a statement they expressed "a profound rejection" of that approach and demanded an end to "the strategy of cataloging the 'uncontrolled streams of migrants' as the main threat and risk to national security, because it is a generic, ambiguous and directly criminalizing charge against migrants and applicants for asylum."

They argue that "this view contributes to the justification of authoritarian acts that can go so far as serious violations of human rights like torture and forced disappearance, while at the same time arousing xenophobic feelings and actions by society.
