Go down to Dunkin' Donuts have a cupof coffee
Some weremarried to a purchaser, some have downloaded it, some pickedit up second hand or from a Rosetta Stone V3 sibling. But is it not possiblethat among this vast pool we might not actually find a manypeople who disliked Jackson's music as liked it?Yes itis. And although I have not been able to find an Americanstudy that deals with this issue, a fascinating examinationof Japanese adolescent tastes in western music suggests whatwe might discover.Here are the percentages of Japaneseadolescents who liked very much a genre of music followed bythe percentages of those that didn't like it at all:Rock:45, 28Rap: 26, 43Top Forty: 25, 43Classical: 23,48Jazz: 23, 45Techno: 22, 47Soul: 17,53Country: 15, 53Heavy Metal: 12, 48Punk: 11,66Easy Listening: 10, 60Note that rock is the onlycategory in which the percentage of those not liking it atall does not near 50%. Note also that one of the mostdisliked genres is something the media has labeled "easylistening."One of the reasons the media doesn't tell youthings like this is that it would be too embarrassing. Farbetter to using rankings that obscure the fact, for example,that you could fit the entire American audience of CNN intoa place the size of Washington DC.So if you can't standJackson or his music, don't feel bad. You are just part ofthe silenced majority. Go down to Dunkin' Donuts have a cupof coffee like a real American.DRUMMERS TOTALLY RULE -INTELLIGENCE AND RHYTHM LINKEDSCIENTIFIC BLOGGING People who scorehigh on intelligence tests are also good at Rosetta Stone Spanish Spain keeping time,new Swedish research shows. The team that carried out thestudy also suspect that accuracy in timing is important tothe brain processes responsible for problem solving andreasoning.Researchers at the medical universityKarolinska Institutet and Umea University have nowdemonstrated a correlation between general intelligence andthe ability to tap out a simple regular rhythm. They stressthat the task subjects performed had nothing to do with anymusical rhythmic sense but simply measured the capacity forrhythmic accuracy. Those who scored highest on intelligencetests also had least variation in the regular rhythm theytapped out in the experiment. . .According to FredrikUllen, the results suggest that the rhythmic accuracy inbrain activity observable when the person just maintains asteady beat is also important to the problem-solvingcapacity that is measured with intelligence tests. "We knowthat accuracy at millisecond level Rosetta Stone Spanish V3 in neuronal activity iscritical to information processing and learningprocesses, he says.
