Should the sale of genetically modified food be banned?
<p class="">A <strong>genetically modified organism</strong> (<strong>GMO</strong>) is any organism whose <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">genetic</a> material has been altered using <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_engineering_techniques" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">genetic engineering techniques</a>. The exact definition of a genetically modified organism and what constitutes genetic engineering techniques varies widely, with the most common being altered in a way that does "not occur naturally by mating and/or natural <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recombination_(biology)" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">recombination</a>". A wide variety of organisms have been <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_engineering" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">genetically engineered</a>, from animals to plants and microorganisms. Genes have been transferred <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cisgenesis" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">within the same species</a>, across <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Species" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">species</a> (creating transgenic organisms) and even across <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_(biology)" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">kingdoms</a>.

Would Mass Adoption Make Steem More Equal?
<p class="">"Its great that Steem is becoming the blockchain that helps people in difficult economic environments to grow. It proves the fact that Steem is indeed the only blockchain actually functioning as an economy within itself and rewarding work outside of the coder community.</p><p>However, despite those positive factors and, despite the lowered price of STEEM, the cost to work your way out of the worthless upvote category and get yourself into just the $0.01 upvote value area requires 220 SP in today's market or a $61.60 financial investment. That's not extremely difficult for many people in the United States with a $10.50 minimum wage, but it can be rather difficult in many other places in the world. Even for thriving economies people often think twice about buying into anything online in the $50+ range.</p><p>It is undeniable that as more and more people adopt the Steem ecosystem that it will become more expensive to buy STEEM to power up your account for resource credit and upvote uses. For example, I bought a bunch of STEEM at $1.10 and at that time it required 125 SP to be able to dish out $0.01 valued upvotes. This means that it cost me $70.40 US dollars more than it would cost someone else for that same upvote valued at $0.01. Gradually, prices will go back up as online communities begin to recognize the value add to integrating Steem in their blogs, podcasts and what have you... This means it will become more and more difficult to acquire a large amount of STEEM to power up your account."</p><p>Original text and more here: <a href="https://steemit.com/steem/@hobo.media/would-mass-adoption-make-steem-more-equal" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://steemit.com/steem/@hobo.media/would-mass-adoption-make-steem-more-equal</a></p><p>Credits to @hobo.media</p>

What kind of movies do you like?
<p class="">A <strong>film genre</strong> is a motion-picture category based (for example) on similarities either in the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narrative" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">narrative elements</a> or in the emotional response to the film (namely: serious, comic, etc.). Most theories of film genre are borrowed from <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literary_genre" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">literary-genre</a> criticism. Each film genre is associated with "conventions, iconography, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Movie_setting" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">settings</a>, narratives, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stock_character" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">characters</a> and actors". Standard genre characters vary according to the film genre; for <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_noir" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">film noir</a>, standard characters are the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Femme_fatale" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">femme fatale</a> and the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardboiled_detective" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">"hardboiled" detective</a>; a Western film may portray the schoolmarm and the gunfighter. Some actors acquire a reputation linked to a single genre, such as <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Wayne" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">John Wayne</a> (the Western) or <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Astaire" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Fred Astaire</a> (the musical). A film's genre will influence the use of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filmmaking" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">filmmaking</a> styles and techniques, such as the use of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flashback_(narrative)" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">flashbacks</a> and low-key lighting in film noir, tight framing in horror films, fonts that look like rough-hewn logs for the titles of Western films, or the "scrawled" title-font and credits of <em><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_(1995_film)" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Se7en</a></em> (1995), a film about a serial killer. As well, genres have associated <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_scoring" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">film-scoring</a> conventions, such as lush string orchestras for romantic <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melodrama" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">melodramas</a> or electronic music for <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science-fiction_film" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">science-fiction films</a>. - Wikipedia</p>
