Gasolina

"Gasolina" (English: "Gasoline"), is a reggaeton song written by Daddy Yankee and Eddie Ávila for Daddy Yankee's 2004 album Barrio Fino. It features Glory, who sings the line "dame más gasolina". The song was released as the album's lead single in late 2004 and became a hit, peaking inside the top ten on some of the charts it entered. "Gasolina" is the first reggaetón song to be nominated for the Latin Grammy Award for Record of the Year.

Background

"Gasolina" became a worldwide hit, letting Daddy Yankee gain popularity among Latino mainstream music fans as well, becoming a hit in Puerto Rico, the rest of Latin America, the Caribbean, United States, Canada, and Europe. "Gasolina" is one of the songs attributed with opening the door for reggaetón and creating a pathway for other stars in reggaeton. The song is said to be inspired by Daddy Yankee's one time love Nerea Sanchez. The song stayed true to reggaeton's musical stylings of synthesized beats yet had a catchy chorus.

Gasolina (film)

Gasolina (Gasoline) is a 2008 Guatemalan independent comedy drama written and directed by Julio Hernández. The film deals with dehumanization, lack of purpose and recklessness in Guatemalan youth by following the exploits of three teenage boys who go out on a midnight joyride outside their housing project, stealing gasoline from other vehicles along the way. It stars José Andrés Chamier, Carlos Dardón and Francisco Jacome.

Plot

This Guatemalan film tells a story of three middle-class teenagers on a high-octane ride to hell outside the safety of their colonia. They siphon gas from their neighbors cars and roam the streets, looking for any and every form of entertainment, but they soon learn that even the simplest actions can have consequences way beyond anything they imagined, and some lessons are learned too late.

Gel

A gel (coined by 19th-century Scottish chemist Thomas Graham, by clipping from gelatine) is a solid, jelly-like material that can have properties ranging from soft and weak to hard and tough. Gels are defined as a substantially dilute cross-linked system, which exhibits no flow when in the steady-state. By weight, gels are mostly liquid, yet they behave like solids due to a three-dimensional cross-linked network within the liquid. It is the crosslinking within the fluid that give a gel its structure (hardness) and contribute to the adhesive stick (tack). In this way gels are a dispersion of molecules of a liquid within a solid in which the solid is the continuous phase and the liquid is the discontinuous phase.

Gel: Nonfluid colloidal network or polymer network that is expanded throughout its whole volume by a fluid.

Note 1: A gel has a finite, usually rather small, yield stress.

Note 2: A gel can contain:

Note 3: Corrected from ref., where the definition is via the property identified in Note 1 (above) rather than of the structural characteristics that describe a gel.

Color gel

A color gel or color filter (British spelling: colour gel or colour filter), also known as lighting gel or simply gel, is a transparent colored material that is used in theater, event production, photography, videography and cinematography to color light and for color correction. Modern gels are thin sheets of polycarbonate or polyester, placed in front of a lighting fixture in the path of the beam.

Gels have a limited life, especially in saturated colors. The color will fade or even melt, depending upon the energy absorption of the color, and the sheet will have to be replaced. In permanent installations and some theatrical uses, colored glass filters or dichroic filters are being used. The main drawbacks are additional expense and a more limited selection.

History

History

Before gelatin became widely available as a commercial product, the most typical gelatin dessert was "calf's foot jelly". As the name indicates, this was made by extracting and purifying gelatin from the foot of a calf. This gelatin was then mixed with fruit juice and sugar.
