LOS ANGELES (AP) — El hermano de Whitney Houston recuerda cuando su hermana menor escuchaba a su madre durante ensayos de gospel antes de imitar cada melodía que se cantaba. Houston ascendió al estrellato mundial pop, pero su voz excepcionalmente talentosa tenía su base en la música gospel. Ahora su familia, encabezada por su cuñada Pat y su hermano Gary Houston, quieren que los cimientos de su legado musical se mantengan vivos a través del álbum de gospel póstumo y documental “I Go to the Rock: The Gospel Music of Whitney Houston” (Yo voy a la roca: La música gospel de Whitney Houston). “El gospel estaba en su corazón”, dijo Gary Houston, quien recordó a su hermana de alrededor de 5 años usando la peluca y los tacones de su madre Cissy Houston mientras cantaba con una escoba como micrófono. “Nos despertábamos y nos acostábamos con gospel. Ella cantaba exactamente lo que le escuchaba a mi madre y sus hermanos. Nada de música secular. Todo era gospel”. Pat Houston, albacea del … [Read more...] about Familiares lanzan álbum gospel de Whitney Houston

Your next job interview could be judged by AI. Here’s how to prepare.
You may know that artificial intelligence may scan your résumé when you apply for a job. But are you prepared to have an interview assessed by AI? Some employers are using AI to assess video interviews candidates do on their own time without a human on the other side. Depending on the software, the AI can evaluate a candidate's communication skills, problem-solving skills, initiative, professionalism and attitude. And ultimately, the AI screening could eliminate you before you ever speak to a human. Here's how these AI interviews typically work: Candidates are presented questions, either in text or from a recording created by the employer or software company, one at a time. The system records their video responses, often giving them a time limit, usually from one to a few minutes. Some employers allow candidates to rerecord some answers.
