AI turns entire Bible into 30,000 songs – without changing a word

AI turns entire Bible into 30,000 songs – without changing a word

Published by Sam Flores

From the commute to the gym: Music Bible brings Scripture into everyday life NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Bible can now be heard in hip-hop, jazz and country after AI was used to turn every verse of Scripture to music – without changing one word.  Music Bible features more than 30,000 songs and is the world’s first complete, unedited, verse-by-verse Bible in song app. One of the largest AI-assisted music projects in history, it offers the full Bible across 11 genres in English and three in Spanish, with more languages and musical styles on the way.   The free app is the brainchild of 28-year-old Nashville entrepreneur Micah Fiechter who was initially asked by his dad – a pastor – to turn one chapter of the Bible into music for a sermon illustration.  “Dad asked if I could work on 1 John 4 and it sort of just went from there,” Micah explains.  “We have a team of 70 staff working around the clock who have got us to where we are. Hip-hop is the genre that seems …

‘It’s about controlling your entire body’: how to start doing handstands | Well actually

‘It’s about controlling your entire body’: how to start doing handstands | Well actually

Published by Sam Flores

My aspirations in life are modest: I want to write, spend time with my loved ones, and someday find a lipstick that flatters my skintone. But perhaps my greatest ambition is this: I want to be able to do a handstand. Why? It turns the world upside down. It seems fun. It displays a mastery of one’s physical form that I have never quite felt. And it looks cool! Maybe it has to do with that one time in third grade when all my friends could do a handstand and I couldn’t, but that’s for me and my therapist to sort out later. A handstand is an inversion, a type of position where one’s heart is above the head. Besides looking cool, there is a lot to gain from inversions. When the head is below the heart, oxygen-rich blood flow to the brain increases, according to the UC Irvine Integrative Health Institute. This helps “regulate neurotransmitters and nourish brain cells”. Other benefits include stress reduction and increased physical strength and mobility, says Antoinette Webb, a …

KKR sells entire stake in Philippines-based First Gen for 1 million

KKR sells entire stake in Philippines-based First Gen for $411 million

Published by Sam Flores

Sept 14 : U.S. private equity firm KKR has sold its entire stake in Philippine power producer First Gen for about 25.77 billion pesos ($410.48 million), an exchange filing showed on Monday, weeks after the parent company rejected KKR’s attempt to expand its holding. Here are the details: • KKR, through its investment vehicle Valorous Asia Holdings, sold 715.9 million shares in First Gen, offloading its entire 19.9 per cent stake in the company and ending a six-year investment. • According to the filing, investment firm Angsana Finance bought the shares. • The sale marks a reversal of KKR’s strategy, which about a month ago was looking to buy an additional 8.43 per cent stake in First Gen from its parent company First Philippine Holdings Corp. • The proposal included a potential mandatory tender offer from KKR for the entire public float of 11.67 per cent of First Gen’s 3.60 billion outstanding common shares, valuing the company at around 165.44 billion pesos. • First Philippine Holdings subsequently rejected KKR’s proposal to buy a stake in …

Could Heat 2 Be the Part Stephen Graham’s Entire Career Has Been Leading To?

Could Heat 2 Be the Part Stephen Graham’s Entire Career Has Been Leading To?

Published by Jenni Sidey

Stephen Graham, who has been officially confirmed for the cast of Michael Mann’s Heat 2, isn’t exactly a stranger to Hollywood, but it’s about time he landed a big ol’ lead in keeping with his big ol’ talent. Sure, there was his killer turn in The Irishman, where he briefly upstaged Pacino and De Niro (not entirely thanks to his jazzy Hawaiian shirt, but it played its gaudy part); he has also done his time in the franchise trenches, popping up in Pirates of the Caribbean and the latter two Venom movies. Here finally comes the big one, though: Mann’s long-awaited follow-up to the GOAT of heist films, famously one of the only other movies to put Pacino and De Niro toe-to-toe. And if the long-standing rumors are to be believed, he’ll be stepping into the latter’s shoes in Heat 2, playing a younger Neil McCauley, the conniving bank robber obsessively pursued by Pacino’s LAPD detective Vincent Hanna. To state the obvious, Graham is clearly an able De Niro successor. They share a few traits, …

Strengthen your entire lower body to handle the demands of running and hiking with this six-move workout from a trainer and serial ultramarathon runner

Strengthen your entire lower body to handle the demands of running and hiking with this six-move workout from a trainer and serial ultramarathon runner

Published by Jenni Sidey

Increasing the distance of your run or hike every time you work out is rarely the smartest way to become a better runner or hiker. Best case scenario, you’ll hit a plateau where your fitness stalls. Worst case, your body will break down from overuse. A safer bet, according to personal trainer, ultramarathon runner and realbuzz ambassador Sam Tomlinson, is to strengthen the muscles and joints that help propel you from A to B. Latest Videos FromFit&Well “Running alone can develop excellent endurance, but it rarely provides enough resistance to build the strength and control needed to tolerate higher mileage and tougher terrain,” he tells Fit&Well. Instead, Tomlinson has come to rely on a set of common lower-body strength exercises that can be performed with a set of dumbbells and a mini band, at home or in the gym. You may like “I recently completed my strongest ultra to date, and being consistent with this type of leg strength work played a major part in how well my body handled the demands of the event,” …

His entire team died on 9/11 – how one FDNY firefighter survived

His entire team died on 9/11 – how one FDNY firefighter survived

Published by Daniella Wilson

Bill Spade always knew he’d be a fireman. “There was something about it,” he says. “The big red trucks. The sirens. Everything about it attracted me.” Growing up on Staten Island, New York, he began taking the ferry to Manhattan as soon as his parents allowed him, visiting museums, street fairs and sports games. “And the people,” he adds. “I really loved the people.” On September 11, 2001, those were the people Spade went into the World Trade Center to save. He was one of thousands of firefighters to respond to the attacks – 343 died that day, including 11 members of Spade’s own unit, Rescue Company 5. In fact, of all the members of Spade’s team who reached the Twin Towers that morning, he was the only survivor. “I took my test for the fire department back in 1982, on September 11, as it happens,” says Spade. “I was assigned to a firehouse in lower Manhattan, and that was a dream come true – riding in a fire truck, responding to calls in New …

McVay Says Entire Rams Roster Is Traveling to Australia, but Aaron Donald’s Playing Status Still TBD

McVay Says Entire Rams Roster Is Traveling to Australia, but Aaron Donald’s Playing Status Still TBD

Published by Sam Flores

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles Rams’ entire roster will travel to Australia for their regular-season opener next week, but coach Sean McVay still isn’t sure whether unretired defensive tackle Aaron Donald will play. McVay announced his plans Friday for the Rams while they began preparations for their trip to Melbourne, where they will meet the rival San Francisco 49ers. The Rams were initially equivocal on whether Donald would make the long trip for the NFL’s first international game in Australia. The 35-year-old superstar only ended his retirement last weekend, rejoining the Rams after 2 1/2 years away. McVay said the Rams still haven’t decided whether Donald will suit up at the Melbourne Cricket Ground alongside Myles Garrett, but Donald has clearly made significant progress in his return to game shape. “I don’t have that sense quite yet,” McVay said. “I think (the ramp-up process) has been really good. He’s so intentional about his rhythm and routine. … This week will be a big week for him in terms of how he feels, and …

Salesforce just put its entire CRM inside Claude — and says you’ll never need its app again

Salesforce just put its entire CRM inside Claude — and says you’ll never need its app again

Published by skeptic

Salesforce and Anthropic announced Tuesday a sweeping expansion of their partnership, called Claudeforce, that pushes the world’s largest customer relationship management platform directly inside Claude — a tacit acknowledgment that the future of enterprise software may not involve enterprise software’s own screens at all. The centerpiece of the announcement is Salesforce in Claude, a plugin for Anthropic’s Claude CoWork that ships with 37 pre-built sales skills — covering meeting preparation, deal health reviews, and pipeline analysis — and lets sellers query, update, and act on live CRM data without ever opening Salesforce itself. The product is available to select pilot customers today, with an open beta planned for September and additional skills for other business functions beginning to launch in the third quarter. Marc Benioff, Salesforce’s chair and CEO, and Dario Amodei, Anthropic’s CEO, were scheduled to appear on television together Tuesday afternoon, hours before Salesforce reports quarterly earnings — a piece of stagecraft that underscores how central this partnership has become to both companies’ narratives. “We’re bringing together the world’s #1 AI and #1 …
