Brief Introduction

Salicin is a naturally occurring compound found in the bark of several species of trees, primarily North American in origin, that are from the willow, poplar, and aspen families. White willow, from whose Latin name, Salix alba, the term salicin is derived, is the most well known source of this compound, but it is found in a number of other trees, shrubs, and herbaceous plants as well being synthesized commercially. It is a member of the glucoside family of chemicals and is used as an analgesic and antipyretic. Salicin is used as a precursor for the synthesis of salicylic acid and acetylsalicylic acid, commonly known as aspirin.

A colorless, crystalline solid in its pure form, salicin has the chemical formula C13H18O7. Part of its chemical structure is equivalent to the sugar glucose, meaning it is classified as a glucoside. It is soluble, but not strongly so, in water and alcolhol. Salicin has a bitter taste and is a natural analgesic and antipyretic, or fever reducer. In large quantities, it can be toxic, and overdoses may lead to liver and kidney damage. In its raw form, it may be mildly irritating to skin, respiratory organs, and eyes.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.

La “YOHIMBINE”. Sens de l’humour, esprit provocateur, des animateurs vigoureux, des invité(e)s, des billets d’humeur, des découvertes d’artistes musicaux avec un soupçon de musique alternative et beaucoup de rock psychédélique… Voila! La recette de la “Yohimbine“, une émission radio exclusive sur FMR (89,1 MHz). Tous les dimanches soirs à partir de 20 heures, en streaming : (https://giss.tv:8000/radio-fmr.mp3.m3u). Cette émission qui après ingestion te donne des frissons dans l’échine, une forte stimulation psychique, une intensification des émotions, un léger changement dans les perceptions pouvant provoquer des hallucinations, et quelque fois un état proche du rêve. Il est dit que les plaisirs sont particulièrement intensifiés. Les effets peuvent durer de 2 à 4 heures, cependant certaines expériences durant plus de 24 heures ont été rapportées. Les séquelles sont caractérisées par un sentiment de calme et de relaxation. A écouter…

« Gabelt ». Mot généralement associé à ceux qui pratiquent une forme de musique traditionnelle d’origine albanaise.

Plus communément, il désigne un quatuor rock originaire du sud de la France, mené par Bruno Dibra, auteur-compositeur né à Tirana.

Séduits aussi bien par la surf music que l’univers post-punk des Monochrome Set ou des Violent Femmes, ces quatre-là se revendiquent clairement comme les produits d’une génération 00′s bercée par la vague « revival » des Strokes, des Libertines ou des Arctic Monkeys.

Sur scène, énergie rock et mélodies pop flirtent avec leurs influences balkaniques, sur des envolées instrumentales dont ils ont le secret.
