@gwynned: The imperfections of an artist's voice, is what makes them spectacular, and LIVE. Autotune is what has been destroying almost everything the music industry has applied it to. Michael's a perfectionist, and would never use that, unless it was for an effect.
I'm going to let you in on a little trade secret: Michael didn't sing all of the songs, that he danced to, during live performances. It's IMPOSSIBLE! Try dancing in the mirror, and sing at the same time, or have your daughter do so. Your lungs are having air forced out of them, kk? You need control OVER your diaphragm & lungs, to be able to sing without destroying your voice!
So when you see Michael on stage and dancing, it's all recorded, sorry. It isn't done to deceive the audience, it's to give a complete show, you know. You either have singing or dancing - can't have both! Watch Fred Astaire - same thing.
Watch Earthsong, especially when the bridge collapsed during Munich - because it was on a track, you never heard him
EXHALE from the force of that fall, now do you? He covered it brilliantly, though his back's messed up permanently (unless
ADR implant was performed).
Understand, these performances make the singer/dancer appear almost superhuman, when they aren't - just helps boost
them over the top. Madonna does it, everyone.
The O2 center has some of the best lip-synching equipment - it's important for everyone who goes through there. Otherwise,
you have to supply your own system!
hey tink!!..well don't get me started on this auto tune shit!..i want to say Cher started it with her song do you believe in love?! something like that..either way i hate it end of story with auto tune lol..i understand what ur saying about singing and dancing full out all the time but he also has train all his life for such and would think he would have amazing control over his diaphragm and lungs.. i agree i don't think all of his songs were live due to many things that can be caught on video or ears n eyes..but could have sworn i seen an article about someone n his band said he did sing live ..anyways..on the one video of earth song with the bridge i could hear a muffle sound from his mic but don't recall a break n his singing lol..what always got me was when he would sing yana and bring a gurl up on stage if a mic is on you would be able to hear the gurls screams n words and i haven't seen or heard many on that live concert videos..i know what ur saying about backing tracks and its all for the great show..yes the o2 has state of the art sound n lights from what ive read..some that claim to be artist these days i would hate to hear live lol..even what lil i have heard lol..they cant do it old skool like the good ones .. huggs n love n faith to you suzz

So what do you ask the guru of well-being who was on Michael Jackson's speed dial for two decades? Deepak Chopra, new-age guru, author, pioneer of mind-body healing, will speak at the Jaipur Literature Festival on January 22 and then shoot an episode with Oprah Winfrey the following day. The segment with Oprah is part of the premiere of her new original primetime series - Oprah's Next Chapter - on the Oprah Winfrey Network. "Oprah's among the most powerful women in the world. She's extremely intelligent, she reads a lot (more than anyone I know), you know that's why she was so successful with the Book Club," says Dr Chopra. Oprah's Book Club, a discussion segment on her epic talk show for 15 years, catapulted many obscure titles to bestsellers, with Oprah's clout spiking sales. "You know, people usually think of celebrities somewhere up there, they can't relate to them. With Oprah, everyone can relate to her. She's wonderfully down-to-earth," he says. From Oprah, the questions shift to the inevitable ones on the King of Pop - Michael Jackson - whom Dr Chopra met somewhere around 1988. A friendship that lasted nearly two decades and one in which he received a call from Michael just two days before his death. "He left a message on my answering machine...said he wanted to share some good news with me. " "Wasn't Michael Jackson under pressure...that's what the reports said...that he was under pressure over his comeback concert," I asked him. "He didn't sound like he was under pressure. He was excited with this new song, Breathe, and he wanted me to look over the lyrics. It's on the environment," says Dr Chopra. Despite the last happy memories and Michael Jackson's obvious excitement over his new composition, Dr Chopra has often said that Michael Jackson sudden death was almost fated - "like he was hurtling towards it. He wanted to die like Elvis Presley." "Michael once asked me, what's the drug that takes you to the valley of death and then brings you back. That was propofol , I didn't know then, he adds. The pop icon's autopsy report cites the cause of death as acute propofol intoxication. The copy of "Breathe" lies with Dr Chopra, "I have contacted his lawyers, and his estate, I can't keep what isn't mine," he says. The wellness guru who says he is never stressed, has a happier story to wrap up with. A joke he shared with Oprah Winfrey and with us, but not one that he wants published as yet. Instead, here's a quote that Dr Chopra says keeps him stress-free: "What people think of you is none of your business. What you think of yourself is what matters."

Register or LoginEMI Sale In Peril? AIM Calls For UK Gov't Review; Warner Music Hires Anti-Trust Law Firm January 19, 2012 By Richard Smirke, London AIM, the U.K.'s Trade Association for the Independent Music Industry, has called on the British government to stop the break-up and sale of EMI. The association is asking its 800 member companies to send a pre-written letter to their local constituency Member of Parliament (MP) opposing the division and sale of the music major to Universal Music and Sony. Calling the independent music sector the "true and acknowledged creative force in the music industry," the draft letter urges MPs to review and oppose the sale of EMI's recorded music operations to Universal Music and EMI Music Publishing to Sony on the grounds that it will increase market distortion. "This move will undoubtedly concentrate the global music market still further into the hands of two dominant major companies - Universal and Sony," the letter states. "That itself is enough to demand that the U.K. Government looks closely at, and opposes the proposed sale of the only U.K. major music company to the remaining gigantic multinational, whose monopolistic position has already been a cause of market decline." The letter goes on to say that, "if the deals with Universal and Sony are allowed to go ahead Warner Music will effectively be relegated in size to a position where it can offer no real global competition, and the global music market will be in the control of just two huge companies -- one French and one Japanese." Referencing IMPALA's vocal opposition to Universal/Sony's acquisition of EMI, as well as past European Commission investigations into competition regulations relating to the music industry, the letter goes on to state: "The basic principles of competition in cultural markets do not tolerate making either Sony or Universal more powerful." It also goes on to quote Martin Mills, chairman of the Beggars Group, which owns and distributes a number of high-performing independent labels, including XL, 4AD, Matador and Rough Trade. Mills describes Universal's acquisition of EMI's recorded-music operation as "breath-taking arrogance." "It's hard to imagine this acquisition being approved, given Universal's existing dominance in an over-concentrated market. Even greater dominance would be bad news for almost everyone involved in the art and business of music," Mills goes on to say. The letter concludes by urging U.K. MPs "to raise this issue in Parliament" and "that the likely effects of these proposed sales on competition, retail, consumer choice and the growth of monopolistic power in the music industry are fully examined… That outcome, we strongly believe, cannot include this break-up and sale of EMI as proposed." Further opposition to the proposed EMI sale could also be coming from Warner Music itself, which according to American legal blog the Legal Times, reports that the label has hired U.S. law firm Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck to lobby against the merger. According to the Legal Times Blog, Warner Music, which itself unsuccessfully bid for EMI's recorded music division, is looking to contest the Universal/EMI deal on anti-trust grounds. The firm recently worked on behalf of the Dish Network in contesting the proposed AT&T - T-Mobile USA merger.

more on numerology.. [embed=425,349]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerology[/embed] Numerology is any study of the purported divine, mystical or other special relationship between a count or measurement and life. It has many systems and traditions and beliefs. Numerology and numerological divination by systems such as isopsephy were popular among early mathematicians, such as Pythagoras, but are no longer considered part of mathematics and are regarded as pseudomathematics by modern scientists.[1][2] Today, numerology is often associated with the paranormal, alongside astrology and similar divinatory arts. [3] The term can also be used for those who place excess faith in numerical patterns, even if those people don't practice traditional numerology. For example, in his 1997 book Numerology: Or What Pythagoras Wrought, mathematician Underwood Dudley uses the term to discuss practitioners of the Elliott wave principle of stock market analysis. Some remarks on the purported or commonly perceived numerological significance of specific small numbers may be found at the articles on these numbers, as at 77 (number). Contents [hide] 1 History 2 Methods 2.1 Number definitions 2.2 Alphabetic systems 2.3 Abjad system 2.4 Abjad Karbalai 2.5 Pythagorean system 3 Chinese numerology 3.1 Chinese number definitions 4 Indian numerology 5 Other fields 5.1 Numerology and astrology 5.2 Numerology and alchemy 5.3 "Numerology" in science 5.4 Numerology in gaming 6 Popular culture 7 See also 8 Notes 9 References 10 External links [edit] History Modern numerology often contains aspects of a variety of ancient cultures and teachers, including Babylonia, Pythagoras and his followers (Greece, 6th century B.C.), astrological philosophy from Hellenistic Alexandria, early Christian mysticism, early Gnostics, the Hebrew system of the Kabbalah, The Indian Vedas, the Chinese "Circle of the Dead", Egyptian "Book of the Masters of the Secret House" (Ritual of the Dead).[4] Pythagoras and other philosophers of the time believed that because mathematical concepts were more "practical" (easier to regulate and classify) than physical ones, they had greater actuality. St. Augustine of Hippo (A.D. 354–430) wrote "Numbers are the Universal language offered by the deity to humans as confirmation of the truth." Similar to Pythagoras, he too believed that everything had numerical relationships and it was up to the mind to seek and investigate the secrets of these relationships or have them revealed by divine grace. See Numerology and the Church Fathers for early Christian views. However, that does not mean that Pythagoras had coined himself the system one calls numerology. Pythagoras had only paved the way to the observation of numbers as archetypes rather than mere numerals. In 325 A.D., following the First Council of Nicaea, departures from the beliefs of the state Church were classified as civil violations within the Roman Empire. Numerology had not found favor with the Christian authority of the day and was assigned to the field of unapproved beliefs along with astrology and other forms of divination and "magic".[citation needed] Despite this religious purging, the spiritual significance assigned to the heretofore "sacred" numbers had not disappeared; several numbers, such as the "Jesus number" have been commented and analyzed by Dorotheus of Gaza and numerology still is used at least in conservative Greek Orthodox circles.[5][6] Numerology is prominent throughout Sir Thomas Browne's 1658 literary Discourse The Garden of Cyrus. Throughout its pages the author attempts to demonstrate that the number five and the related Quincunx pattern can be found throughout the arts, in design, and in nature - particularly botany. Modern numerology has various antecedents. Ruth A. Drayer's book, Numerology, The Power in Numbers (Square One Publishers) says that around the turn of the century (from 1800 to 1900 A.D.) Mrs. L. Dow Balliett combined Pythagoras' work with Biblical reference. Then on Oct 23, 1972, Balliett's student, Dr. Juno Jordan, changed Numerology further and helped it to become the system known today under the title "Pythagorean", although Pythagoras himself had nothing to do with the system. [edit] Methods [edit] Number definitions There are no set definitions for the meaning of specific digits. Common examples include:[7] 1. Individual. Aggressor. Yang. 2. Balance. Union. Receptive. Yin. 3. Communication/interaction. Leader. Innovative skills 4. Creation. 5. Action. Restlessness. 6. Reaction/flux. Responsibility. 7. Thought/consciousness. 8. Power/sacrifice. 9. Highest level of change. [edit] Alphabetic systems There are many numerology systems which assign numerical value to the letters of an alphabet. Examples include the Abjad numerals in Arabic, the Hebrew numerals, Armenian numerals, and Greek numerals. The practice within Jewish tradition of assigning mystical meaning to words based on their numerical values, and on connections between words of equal value, is known as gematria. 1= a, j, s; 2= b, k, t; 3= c, l, u; 4= d, m, v; 5= e, n, w; 6= f, o, x; 7= g, p, y; 8= h, q, z; 9= i, r ...and are then summed. Examples: 3,489 → 3 + 4 + 8 + 9 = 24 → 2 + 4 = 6 Hello → 8 + 5 + 3 + 3 + 6 = 25 → 2 + 5 = 7 A quicker way to arrive at a single-digit summation (the digital root) is simply to take the value modulo 9, substituting a 0 result with 9 itself. Different methods of calculation exist, including Chaldean, Pythagorean, Hebraic, Helyn Hitchcock's method, Phonetic, Japanese, Arabic and Indian. The examples above are calculated using decimal (base 10) arithmetic. Other number systems exist, such as binary, octal, hexadecimal and vigesimal; summing digits in these bases yields different results. The first example, shown above, appears thus when rendered in octal (base  : 3,48910 = 66418 → 6 + 6 + 4 + 1 = 218 → 2 + 1 = 38 = 310 [edit] Abjad system The Arabic system of numerology is known as Abjad notation. In this system each Arabic alphabet has a numerical value. This system is mother of Ilm-e-jaffer (Science of Cipher), and ilm-e-haroof (Science of Alphabet Letters). These branches of knowledge are the ways of getting supernatural forces and operations of white art and alchemy. [edit] Abjad Karbalai There are more than 52 Abajad having different natures of forces and power. The new Abjad developed by a well known spiritual scholar "M.A Karbalai", hence named "Abjad Karbalai". This Abjad is unique because it was developed by integrating the original and completed alphabets from Quran. The unique name of the Mother of Hazrat Moosa (A.S) is hidden in its sequence of alphabets, which can be found from a little hit and trial. [edit] Pythagorean system Pythagoras was never involved in the numerology systems known nowadays. He was actually a philosopher who contributed with the concept of numbers as symbols rather than mere numerals, but numerology as we know it is a system based on Gematria, which is one of the Cabbalistic disciplines. Through Gematria one can get the number of each word or name, since the Hebrew alphabet has the same symbols for both letters and numbers. Western numerology is but a way to adapt the principles of Gematria into the Latin alphabet so as to get the numbers of words and names as well. [edit] Chinese numerology Main article: Numbers in Chinese culture Some Chinese assign a different set of meanings to the numbers and certain number combinations are considered luckier than others. In general, even numbers are considered lucky, since it is believed that good luck comes in pairs. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), and its associated fields such as acupuncture, base their "science" on “mystical numerical associations”, such as the “12 vessels circulating blood and air corresponding to the 12 rivers flowing toward the Central Kindgom; and 365 parts of the body, one for each day of the year” being the basis of locating acupuncture points.[8] [edit] Chinese number definitions Cantonese frequently associate numbers with the following connotations (based on its sound), which may differ in other Chinese languages: 1.一 [jɐ́t] — sure 2.二 [ji̭ː] — easy 易 [ji̭ː] 3.三 [sáːm] — live 生 [sáːŋ] 4.四 [sēi] — considered unlucky since 4 is a homophone with the word for death or suffering 死 [sěi], yet in the Shanghainese, it is a homophone of water (水)and is considered lucky since water is associated with money. 5.五 [ŋ̬] — the self, me, myself 吾 [ŋ̭], nothing, never 唔 [ŋ, m][need tone] 6.六 [lùːk] — easy and smooth, all the way 7.七 [tsʰɐ́t] — a slang/vulgar word in Cantonese. 8.八 [pāːt] — sudden fortune, prosperity 發 [fāːt] 9.九 [kɐ̌u] — long in time 久 [kɐ̌u], enough 夠 [kɐ̄u] or a slang/vulgar word derived from dog 狗 [kɐ̌u] in Cantonese Some "lucky number" combinations include: 99 — doubly long in time, hence eternal; used in the name of a popular Chinese-American supermarket chain, 99 Ranch Market. 168 — many premium-pay telephone numbers in China begin with this number, which is considered lucky. It is also the name of a motel chain in China (Motel 168). 518 — I will prosper 814 — Similar to 168, this means "be wealthy, entire life". 148 also implies the same meaning "entire life be wealthy". 888 — Three times the prosperity, means "wealthy wealthy wealthy". 1314 — whole lifetime, existence. 289 — ease in finding enough luck/fortune and holding it for a long time. (2 is easy, 8 is fortune, 9 is enough and/or for a long time) [edit] Indian numerology 1.1, 10, 19, 28 are ruled by the SUN, count 1 for letters: AIJQY 2.2, 11, 20, 29 are ruled by the MOON, count 2 for letters: BCKR 3.3, 12, 21, 30 are ruled by JUPITER, count 3 for letters: GLS 4.4, 13, 22, 31 are ruled by RAHU, count 4 for letters: DMT 5.5, 14, 23, are ruled by MERCURY, count 5 for letters: NE 6.6, 15, 24 are ruled by VENUS, count 6 for letters: UVWX 7.7, 16, 25 are ruled by KETU, count 7 for letters: OZ 8.8, 17, 26 are ruled by SATURN, count 8 for letters: FHP 9.9, 18, 27 are ruled by MARS, no letters for 9 518 — WE will prosper 814 — Similar to 168, this means "be wealthy, entire life". 148 also implies the same meaning "entire life be wealthy". 888 — Three times the prosperity, means "wealthy wealthy wealthy". 1314 — whole lifetime, existence. 289 — ease in finding enough luck/fortune and holding it for a long time. (2 is easy, 8 is fortune, 9 is enough and/or for a long time) 9999 — enough fortune for long long time. [edit] Other fields [edit] Numerology and astrology Main article: astrology and numerology Some astrologers believe that each number from 0 to 9 is ruled by a celestial body in our solar system. [edit] Numerology and alchemy Many alchemical theories were closely related to numerology. Arabian alchemist Jabir ibn Hayyan, inventor of many chemical processes still used today, framed his experiments in an elaborate numerology based on the names of substances in the Arabic language. [edit] "Numerology" in science Scientific theories are sometimes labeled "numerology" if their primary inspiration appears to be a set of patterns rather than scientific observations. This colloquial use of the term is quite common within the scientific community and it is mostly used to dismiss a theory as questionable science. The best known example of "numerology" in science involves the coincidental resemblance of certain large numbers that intrigued such eminent men as mathematical physicist Paul Dirac, mathematician Hermann Weyl and astronomer Arthur Stanley Eddington. These numerical co-incidences refer to such quantities as the ratio of the age of the universe to the atomic unit of time, the number of electrons in the universe, and the difference in strengths between gravity and the electric force for the electron and proton. ("Is the Universe Fine Tuned for Us?", Stenger, V.J., page 3[9]). The discovery of atomic triads (dealing with elements primarily in the same group or column of the periodic table) was considered a form of numerology, and yet ultimately led to the construction of the periodic table. Here the atomic weight of the lightest element and the heaviest are summed, and averaged, and the average is found to be very close to that of the intermediate weight element. This didn't work with every triplet in the same group, but worked often enough to allow later workers to create generalizations. See Döbereiner's Triads Large number co-incidences continue to fascinate many mathematical physicists. For instance, James G. Gilson has constructed a "Quantum Theory of Gravity" based loosely on Dirac's large number hypothesis.[10] Wolfgang Pauli was also fascinated by the appearance of certain numbers, including 137, in physics.[11] [edit] Numerology in gaming Some players apply methods that are sometimes called numerological in games which involve numbers but no skill, such as bingo, roulette, keno, or lotteries. Although no strategy can be applied to increase odds in such games, players may employ "lucky numbers" to find what they think will help them. There is no evidence that any such "numerological strategy" yields a better outcome than pure chance, but the methods are sometimes encouraged, e.g. by casino owners.[12] [edit] Popular culture Numerology is a popular plot device in fiction. It can range from a casual item for comic effect, such as in an episode titled The Seance of the 1950s TV sitcom I Love Lucy, where Lucy dabbles in numerology, to a central element of the storyline, such as the movie π, in which the protagonist meets a numerologist searching for hidden numerical patterns in the Torah. The movie The Number 23, starring Jim Carrey, was based on the mystery of the number 23. In the DC comics maxi-series "52", the number 52 repeatedly appears as hints to the overall plot.

Hipster puppies? A perennial favorite, but no. A video of the Muppets edited to look like Miss Piggy is singing “F*ck the Pain Away” by Peaches? LOVE, but… no. And despite how many laughs I get from the oh-so-wrong Annals of Online Dating, that didn’t win the ‘net today, either. So, what was the best thing on the Internet on the day that Wikipedia went dark and Google redacted its name in protest against potentially devastating SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act)? Why, it’s the way-too-good revelation that Lamar Smith, SOPA’s author, stole a photograph without permission and used it on his official campaign website. That’s right, folks, the man responsible for this censorious bill is an online “pirate” himself — which could result in his campaign website being tossed offline lickety-split should SOPA pass: (Graphic via You are not allowed to view links.

Since it’s now 1:00 am (and since my guess is that most WIMN’s Voices readers are already familiar with these bills) I’m not going to write a long description of why SOPA and PIPA are such threats to creativity, prosperity and security online.

no prob..i know most put x-mas..never seen it like that lol..made me think of a mast on a boat??..maybe he was on a boat what ya think??
huggs n love to u
suzz
Hmmmm very strange indeed!!!! Hidden messages!! Can't really figure out what he means!!
maybe so hidden message? when he said mast ..boat was the first thing that hit my mind..but other then that clueless lol..just incase some might not know about mast of a boat..here ya go..im sure most do..but ya never know..yes strange to me too lol.. The mast of a sailing vessel is a tall, vertical, or near vertical, spar, or arrangement of spars, which supports the sails. Large ships have several masts, with the size and configuration depending on the style of ship. Nearly all sailing masts are guyed masts. Until the mid-19th century, in the Western world, all vessels' masts were made of wood formed from a single piece of timber which typically consisted of the trunk of a conifer tree. From the 16th century, vessels were often built of a size requiring masts taller and thicker than could be made from single tree trunks. On these larger vessels, to achieve the required height, the masts were built from up to four sections (also called masts), known in order of rising height above the decks as the lower, top, topgallant and royal masts. Giving the lower sections sufficient thickness necessitated building them up from separate pieces of wood. Such a section was known as a made mast, as opposed to sections formed from single pieces of timber, which were known as pole masts. In a three-masted, square-sail carrying ship, the masts, given their standard names in bow to stern (front to back) order, are: Fore-mast: the first mast, or the mast fore of the main-mast. Sections: Fore-mast lower—Fore topmast—Fore topgallant mast Main-mast: the tallest mast, usually located near the center of the ship. Sections: Main-mast lower—Main topmast—Main topgallant mast—royal mast (if fitted) Mizzen-mast: the third mast, or the mast immediately aft of the main-mast. Typically shorter than the fore-mast. Sections: Mizzen-mast lower—Mizzen topmast—Mizzen topgallant mast Some names given to masts in ships carrying other types of rig (where the naming is less standardised) are: Bonaventure mizzen: the fourth mast on larger sixteenth century galleons, typically lateen-rigged and shorter than the main mizzen. Jigger-mast: typically, where it is the shortest, the aft-most mast on vessels with more than three masts. Sections: Jigger-mast lower—Jigger topmast—Jigger topgallant mast Most types of vessels with two masts would have a main-mast and a smaller mizzen-mast, although both brigs and two-masted schooners instead carry a fore-mast and main-mast. On a two-masted vessel with the mainmast forward and a much smaller second mast, such as a ketch, or particularly a yawl, the terms mizzen and jigger are synonymous. Some two-masted schooners have masts of identical size, but the aftmost is still referred to as the main-mast, and normally has the larger course. Schooners have been built with up to seven masts in all, with several six-masted examples. On square-rigged vessels, each mast carries several horizontal yards from which the individual sails are rigged. Contents [hide] 1 History 2 Modern masts 3 See also 4 References 5 External Links [edit] History Roman two-masted ship, its foremast showing a typically strong forward rake The concept of a ship carrying more than one mast, to give it more speed under sail and to improve its sailing qualities, evolved in northern Mediterranean waters: The earliest foremast has been identified on an Etruscan pyxis from Caere, Italy, dating to the mid-7th century BC: a warship with a furled mainsail is engaging an enemy vessel, deploying a foresail.[1] A two-masted merchant vessel with a sizable foresail rigged on a slightly inclined foremast is depicted in an Etruscan tomb painting from 475–450 BC.[2] An artemon (Greek for foresail) almost the same size as the galley's mainsail can be found on a Corinthian krater as early as the late 6th century BC; apart from that Greek longships are uniformly shown without it until the 4th century BC.[3] The foremast became fairly common on Roman galleys, where, inclined at an angle of 45°, it was more akin to a bowsprit, and the foresail set on it, reduced in size, seems to be used rather as an aid to steering than for propulsion.[3][4] While most of the ancient evidence is iconographic, the existence of foremasts can also be deduced archaeologically from slots in foremast-feets located too close to the prow for a mainsail.[5] Roman merchantman (corbita) with mainmast and foremast under sail Artemon, along with mainsail and topsail, developed into the standard rig of seagoing vessels in imperial times, complemented by a mizzen on the largest freighters.[6] The earliest recorded three-masters were the giant Syracusia, a prestige object commissioned by king Hiero II of Syracuse and devised by the polymath Archimedes around 240 BC, and other Syracusan merchant ships of the time.[7] The imperial grain freighters travelling the routes between Alexandria and Rome also included three-masted vessels.[7] A mosaic in Ostia (c. 200 AD) depicts a freighter with a three-masted rig entering Rome's harbour.[8] Special craft could carry many more masts: Theophrastus (Hist. Plant. 5.8.2) records how the Romans imported Corsican timber by way of a huge raft propelled by as many as fifty masts and sails.[9] Renaissance three-master by Lorenzo Costa Throughout antiquity, both foresail and mizzen remained secondary in terms of canvas size, although large enough to require full running rigging.[6] In late antiquity, the foremast lost most of its tilt, standing nearly upright on some ships.[6] By the onset of the Early Middle Ages, rigging had undergone a fundamental transformation in Mediterranean navigation: the lateen which had long evolved on smaller Greco-Roman craft replaced the square rig, the chief sail type of the ancients, that practically disappeared from the record until the 14th century (while it remained dominant in northern Europe).[10][11] The dromon, the lateen-rigged and oared bireme of the Byzantine navy, almost certainly had two masts, a larger foremast and one midships. Their length has been estimated at about 12 m and 8 m respectively, somewhat smaller than the Sicilian war galleys of the time.[12] Multiple-masted sailing ships were reintroduced into the Mediterranean Sea by the Late Middle Ages. Large vessels were coming more and more into use and the need for additional masts to control these ships adequately grew with the increase in tonnage. Unlike in antiquity, the mizzen-mast was adopted on medieval two-masters earlier than the foremast, a process which can be traced back by pictorial evidence from Venice and Barcelona to the mid-14th century. To balance out the sail plan the next obvious step was to add a mast fore of the main-mast, which first appears in a Catalonian ink drawing from 1409. With the three-masted ship established, propelled by square rig and lateen, and guided by the pintle-and-gudgeon rudder, all advanced ship design technology necessary for the great transoceanic voyages was in place by the beginning of the 15th century.[13] [edit] Modern masts Mast of the sailing yacht Stars and Stripes Although sailing ships were superseded by engine-powered ships in the 19th century, recreational sailing ships and yachts continue to be designed and constructed. In the 1930s aluminium masts were introduced on large J-class yachts. An aluminium mast has considerable advantages over a wooden one: it is lighter and slimmer than a wooden one of the same strength, is impervious to rot, and can be produced as a single extruded length. After the Second World War, extruded aluminium masts became common on all dinghies and smaller yachts. Higher performance yachts would use tapered aluminium masts, constructed by removing a triangular strip of aluminium along the length of the mast and then closing and welding the gap. Illustration of modern mast and wing-mast cross-sections, with sail From the mid 1990s racing yachts introduced the use of carbon fibre and other composite materials to construct masts with even better strength-to-weight ratios. Carbon fibre masts could also be constructed with more precisely engineered aerodynamic profiles. Modern masts form the leading edge of a sail's airfoil and tend to have a teardrop-shaped cross-section. On smaller racing yachts and catamarans, the mast rotates to the optimum angle for the sail's airfoil. If the mast has a long, thin cross-section and makes up a significant area of the airfoil, it is called a wing-mast; boats using these have a smaller sail area to compensate for the larger mast area. On modern warships, the mast still exists but does not serve the purpose of holding sails, since all modern warships are engine-powered. Instead, the mast serves as a mounting point for radar and telecommunication antennas. This is beneficial because generally, the higher an antenna is mounted, the farther its range.
