Power Specifications - Full Range Channels
The RMS power rating is the measure of continuous power that an amplifier can output, or a speaker can handle. It is the most accurate depiction of real, continuous power that the industry has so far.
If the final impedance of your speakers or subwoofers equals 4 ohms, this is how much power this amplifier will supply at that ohm level. The higher the RMS wattage, the more clean and loud your music will sound.

Amplifier Specifications
An amplifier increases the power of the signal being fed to it by taking energy from its power supply and matching the signal but increasing its amplitude. Amplifiers use many different methods for converting these electrical signals and have been categorized into classes.
Class A/B: Greater than 50% of the input signal is amplified while the other percentage is "off". These amplifiers have a small amount of current flowing through the output transistors all the time which almost eliminates crossover distortion. Class A/B has great sound quality but is not as efficient as class D. These amps are most commonly used to drive speakers.
Class D: Also known as switching amplifiers, class D amps have output transistors that are completely turned "on" or "off". This means that when the transistors are on, there is almost no voltage across them but when they are off there is significant voltage but no current flowing through it which makes these amplifiers very efficient at the cost of sound quality. These amps are most commonly used to drive subwoofers.Other Classes: You may see classes such as GH, bD, X, FD, etc. by some manufactures. These amplifiers tend to be either class A/B, D or a hybrid of the two but with improvements to their designs that can make them more efficient or offer better sound quality.
It is measured during a brief musical burst, such as a sudden drum accent. Some manufacturers display peak power ratings on the face of their products to increase the appeal.
The RMS power rating is more accurate, and we recommend using it for product comparison.
RMS power is the amount of continuous power, measured in watts, that an amplifier produces is called RMS power. The higher the RMS figure, the louder and cleaner your music sounds.
The RMS output figure is much more accurate than the peak rating when comparing products.
A crossover is a type of filtering system that permits only certain frequencies to play. A Low-Pass (LP) crossover allows only frequencies below its setting to get through which is good in the case of some subwoofers. A High-Pass(HP) filter allows frequencies above its setting to pass through, this is normally used on speakers.
When a crossover is set to FULL it means no filtering is added and the full frequency spectrum is allowed through the amplifier. Filtering is important because feeding a speaker frequencies it cannot reproduce effectively creates distortion.
High-Pass (HP)
The steepness of the roll-off slope is measured in dB/octave and refers to the rate of attenuation (lowering of volume) outside their pass bands.

On Monday and Tuesday, November 7-8, 2016, the annual LawTech Europe Congress will take place at the Management Centre Europe in Brussels. This event provides a platform for discussion, networking and learning among experts in digital evidence, forensic investigations, data analytics, cyber security, and other law and technology topics. Millnet, an Advanced Discovery company, is pleased to be a sponsor of the event.
Additionally, Millnet Senior eDiscovery Consultant Kathleen Porter Kristiansen will appear on two panels discussing the landmark Pyrrho case approving the use of predictive coding in the UK, on which she worked:
- Cooperation and Articulation – Seeking Judicial Approval for TAR and Predictive Coding
- "The UK Pyrrho case shows the value of cooperation between the parties (where possible) and the importance of articulating the reasons why it is right to use predictive coding or other technology to give disclosure. The latter becomes even more important where cooperation fails. Karyn Harty won the arguments for the use of predictive coding, in the face of strong opposition, in Irish Bank Resolution v Quinn. Edward Spencer achieved an agreement and a consent order in the English case of Pyrrho. Steven Whitaker, as Senior Master, gave the judgment in Goodale v Ministry of Justice which first urged the use of advanced technology for disclosure. Kathleen Kristiansen of Millnet is a part of the team who provided the technical expertise to Taylor Wessing in Pyrrho to EE2. You could not hope for a better team to explain the importance of cooperation and articulation."
- When Technical Writing and Legal Drafting Meet: Pyrrho Participants Discuss the Witness Statement
- "Master Matthews states in Pyrrho that the landmark UK judgement 'owes a considerable debt' to Edward Spencer of Taylor Wessing's witness statement on predictive coding. This interactive session serves to provide a behind the scenes look into the drafting of the witness statement with the author himself and Kathleen Kristiansen, a member of the consulting team at Millnet that advised Taylor Wessing on the technology of predictive coding and assisted review."

(this is his dominant personality type)
(he also shows elements of this type)
We've got Chemistry
He is an independent thinker who approaches problems with an analytical, exacting, systematic and resourceful mind. Yet he also has a traditional, even sentimental streak and can be very protective of those he loves.
Because he is ambitious, tough-minded and hardworking, his close friends admire him. Yet his complex personality is often hidden behind a wall of composure and logic.
He is attracted to someone who can complement him-someone who is verbally graceful, who weighs alternatives carefully and listens actively, and has well-honed social skills.
A few excerpts from his personality test:
- I am always doing new things
- I have a wide range of interests
- I consider (and reconsider) every option thoroughly before making a plan
His 10 interests
in his own words...
Well, to start out let me tell you that I am 10th of 11 kids and that I have 16 nieces and nephews. Shocking, I know. Raised Catholic, not Mormon (that's always the first question). I grew up near Pasadena, CA and lived in CA my entire life until I moved to Denver in 2006. Most of my family is still in CA. I do have a brother, sister-in-law, and cute as a button niece here in Denver. She's actually cuter than a button. Let's see, I went to UC Davis for undergrad and UCLA for grad school. My degrees are in Biology and Finance. Yeah, don't ask me to explain that, but it happened, so let's just move on. My favorite place in the world is Yosemite. I went camping there almost every summer as a kid, yet every time I have been as an adult, I still get this crazy feeling of home away from home when I get the first glimpse of Half Dome and the rest of the Valley. I was just there a couple of weeks ago... my first time in winter and it was incredible. If you haven't been, you HAVE TO GO. Go ahead! I'll wait. Oh, you're back? Okay, well, Tahoe is also right up there for me, too... a very close second. I've lived there a couple summers and it's pretty cool. Actually, I just pretty much like mountains and pine trees. I guess that's why living in the Rockies is so attractive to me. I definitely enjoy traveling, especially weekend trips thrown together spur of the moment. Yes, I admit, I am not so good at making vacation plans ahead of time, but I like the impulsive weekender. So, you should probably be good at planning out our vacations or you better enjoy last minute getaways. So far, my travels abroad have taken me to England, Ireland, Germany, and Finland. I would definitely like to see more of the rest of the world. For fun, I like to get outside. I've run two marathons (Sacramento and LA) and countless half marathons. I've dabbled in triathlons, but have to gear up to do the swim training.

Beyonce instagrammed what looks like an impromptu, sleepy 'just woke up' selfie sans makeup and my gawwwddd does she ever look gorgeous.
Perfectly tousled curls and glowing skin? A far cry from what I look like in the morning: heavy bags under my eyes, disgusting rats nest hair.
Le sigh.
It really isn't fair.
Are you as in awe of no makeup Beyonce as I am?
(via thegloss.com, instagram)
|wow on Feb 01, 2014 @ 01:31 pm
She is one of those celebrities that look great without make up
|Gorgeous. on Feb 01, 2014 @ 03:26 pm
I agree. I think she looks gorgeous, and it's great that she posts up natural pics.
|not 100% on Feb 04, 2014 @ 09:11 pm
She looks good, she has a naturally pretty face that does not need work for sure. However it is not 100 percent natural because that is not her natural hair..pretty girl though
|Over it. on Feb 05, 2014 @ 02:30 am
She looks busted and tired to me in the 2nd photo. Good thing for that strand of hair covering her dark circles. Don't be so hard on yourself Alex...
I'm sure we'd all look amazing in the morning if we could afford thousand dollar facials and vacations that keep us looking well rested 24/7.
I'm over Beyoncé.
|Beyonce morning selfies on Mar 03, 2014 @ 06:12 pm
Considering we don't get to see what happens with her beauty regime or her skin and parts of her face are hidden, don't think I can judge weather her beauty is all natural or not.
|?? on Mar 03, 2014 @ 07:14 pm
I don't think she took the pic right away when she woke up.
|Good for her on Mar 04, 2014 @ 11:00 pm
If she's anything like me, she probably took 100 pics to get such beautiful ones...brave move though.

The Benefits of a Third Party Data Center for Advanced Technologies
Delta Airlines made headlines1 when some 2,000 flights were grounded in August 2016 as a result of a data center outage. The resulting cost was a staggering $150 million. While the cost of the Delta incident may have been an extreme example, data center outages …Read

Police Investigating Links To Former Scottish Rangers Owner Craig Whyte
Published November 13, 2013
NEXT MAN UP: The SCOTSMAN reported Scottish Premier League Dundee CEO Scot Gardiner "has been given permission to speak to Rangers with a view to becoming the club's new chief executive." Gardiner is "currently the man in charge at Dens Park, but Dundee's American owners have given the former Rangers employee permission to enter talks over the Ibrox job." Gardiner is reportedly set for meetings with Chair David Somers and the club's two remaining directors, Brian Stockbridge and James Easdale (SCOTSMAN, 11/12). In Glasgow, Keith Jackson reported it is "conceivable Gardiner could accept the highly-paid position only then to be dismissed in four weeks' time when the shareholders vote on the men they want to run the club's affairs." Rebels Jim McColl and Murray "have already identified" former Liverpool Managing Dir Christian Purslow "as their choice for the role of CEO." It is "understood he has agreed to go to work at Ibrox if McColl and Murray triumph." But Gardiner "is a lifelong Rangers fan and may find it impossible to ignore the lure of such a key and lucrative boardroom position" (DAILY RECORD, 11/12).

Hernan Crespo has confirmed he will definitely leave Internazionale at the end of the season.
The 33-year-old Argentinian struck a vital equaliser during Sunday's 3-3 draw with AS Roma, but having been overlooked for the majority of the season by coach Jose Mourinho, is determined to leave the San Siro in the summer.
"After a difficult year, it's great to have scored such an important goal," he said.
"Things don't happen out of coincidence, that goal is the result of my daily hard work. But in June, without a doubt, I will change teams.
"At this point it has become clear to me that this is the only solution as facts speak louder than words."
AS Roma captain Francesco Totti is not facing another lengthy spell on the sidelines after scans on his right knee revealed no major problem.
Totti, whose campaign has been blighted by a succession of injuries, missed Sunday's 3-3 draw with Internazionale after pulling up in training last week with knee pain.
But Roma now hope to have their inspirational leader back for next week's Champions league last 16 second leg meeting with Arsenal at the Stadio Olimpico.
It was feared that the veteran playmaker's season could be over with further ligament damage.
"Francesco Totti has undergone scans on his right knee. The player will have therapy over the next few days and then he will follow a specific training programme," read a club statement.

25 Random Things I Plan to Do in 2010
No need to share little tidbits about me, that's so 2009. Instead, here's my list of 25 things I plan to accomplish in the next decade. I'll keep checking back as I cross off the items off my to-do list. But for now, here it is...
1. Lose 10 pounds. At last count, I think I've lost over 100 pounds since I was 12 years old. Only problem - it's the same 10 pounds over the course of nearly 30 years.
2. Transform See Mom Run into a musical. Working on that right now - have written lots of song parodies and secured more essays from dads too. Now need to think of a catchy title. Too bad Wicked is taken.
3. Spend less time online - I actually got this from a lot of mom bloggers who emailed their resolutions to me. Of course, I'm spending the afternoon writing while my family is out and about but I promise, once they come home, I am so not going to log onto my computer. I swear...sort of.
4. Enroll in a BMI Lyrics Writing Class - saw this online and was really intrigued. Considering I've always loved to write lyrics, maybe I need some formal training. Or maybe not. Either way, haven't taken a class in years, it would be fun to be a student again.
5. Sign up for a tennis group. Again - I say this every year and then I find out the prices, say it's too expensive and never do anything. This time, I'm biting the bullet and planning to sign up for a weekly class or league. And no, I do not want to play with old ladies who hit moon balls.
6. Take Dance Lessons with My Husband - While watching Dirty Dancing last night and watching Jennifer Gray and Patrick Swayze perform those classic final scenes of the movie ("Now I've, had the time of my life..."), I told my husband I'd love to take dance lessons with him and he said yes. All I need to do is find the dance studio and we are in. Between tennis and dance, I'm going to so thin. :)
7. Commit to at least one girlfriend getaway per year - No more of this - we should go here, we should go there. My sister in law says I'm wishy washy and she's right. I'm picking a date and getting my butt out of dodge...and hoping a few of my closest girlfriends will join me.
8. Take my family on a European adventure - We just got the kids' passports renewed and I am dying to take them on a Mediterranean cruise. Here's hoping it happens soon!
9. Get booked on Oprah - According to my friend Alicia, I'm supposed to put my positive kharma out to the universe and now that it's Oprah's last year on the air, here's hoping I make the cut rather than joining the ranks of fellow N'Oprahs. Oh, and Oprah radio counts too. (the back door plan, ladies, the back door plan).
10. Get published in a national woman's magazine - Okay - bet you didn't know this, but I have a master's in journalism from NYU with a specialization in magazine writing. Bet you also didn't know that I've never been published by a major woman's magazine. I've tried, barely but I think I don't go for it because I hate rejection. Here's to tons of rejection letters and hopefully a few keepers and paychecks along the way.
11. Throw two incredible Bat and Bar Mitzvahs . Yes in the next decade, I will be hosting right of passage festivities for both of my kids. Here's hoping my show is a major hit.
12. Send two kids to college - Holy cow. I can't believe that in the same decade I'll be shelling out tons of money for hora dances, my kids will be applying to college. Better get my daughter working on her softball pitching arm and my son, well, he's quite proficient at guitar and Michael Jackson moon walks. Perhaps there's a sports and music scholarship in their future.
13. Have at least one getaway per year with my husband - forget date night. In the next decade, I'm determined to spend at least one weekend away with my hubby so that we never lose the romance from our relationship. Hello Ritz Carlton, it's your favorite customer calling.
14. Spend as much time as we can with our parents - Both my folks and my in-laws are entering their seventies and now is the time to spend as much time with them as possible. Sure, I may not know how to play mah jong or golf, but no matter, time is fleeting and there are still many more memories to be made.
15. Cut down on arguments with my daughter - She says black. I say white. And she's only 10. I know it's going to get tougher so I better invest in a few parenting books and work on shoring up our relationship so that by the time she's my age, we are the best of friends (like me and my mom).
16. Pay it Forward - I've always made this a hallmark in my life and this will certainly continue into the next decade.
17. Win a Really Cool Award - I don't know what that award will be. In fact, the coolest thing I ever won was Best Female Performer of Sing in 1985 and 1986 and nothing else has ever come close. Hey, once I take that lyrics writing class, maybe I'll win a Tony...or a Tina.
18. Be my kids' biggest cheerleader - As much as I want to still reach my full potential, I will be there front and center helping my own kids do the same.
19. Write about the things that matter most and will make you laugh - I will try my best to write about people and places who are special - doing extraordinary things with their lives while motivating others to do the same. Plus, will mine the contents of my life and the lives of others that you will hopefully find hilarious.
20. Host many more exciting RoleMommy events - What can I say, I'm a girl who just loves to throw a party.
21. Meet Nora Ephron - she's totally my idol and every time I watch another movie that I adore and see she's directed it, I am convinced that one day I am destined to meet her. If I did meet her, I'd probably plotz. Either way, here's me putting another crazy thing out to the universe.
22. Sell 1 million copies of one of my books. Another metaphysical prediction. Plus, I don't discriminate, I'll take any version - Peeing in Peace, See Mom Run, or any combination thereof!
23. Help other moms achieve their own dreams - Working on that now through Role Mommy university and will continue to do so every year!
24. Read more great books - I want to enrich my mind, read more novels and maybe even pick up a few of the classics again. Enough of the Tweeting and Facebooking. Time to put books and great authors back in my life.
25. Be Happy and Grateful for Everything I Have - Well, I can already cross that one off my list. I am incredibly blessed to have an amazing husband, great kids, supportive mom and dad, in-laws and friends who have touched my life in so many ways over the past 40 years. Here's to many more special times ahead and here's to appreciating every day and every accomplishment, no matter how big or small.
Happy New Year everyone! What's your list for the decade? Comment now with a link to your 25!

A Bush administration appointee at Nasa has been forced to resign after accusations that he tried to censor scientists who took issue with the White House line on global warming and the origins of the universe.
George Deutsch, a public relations officer at Nasa who previously worked on President George Bush's re-election campaign, was accused of trying to keep the media away from the agency's chief climate change scientist, James Hansen, after Dr Hansen called publicly for reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.
According to an e-mail shown to The New York Times, he also told a Nasa web designer to add the word "theory" to every reference of the Big Bang - the most prevalent scientific explanation of the origins of the universe, which is hotly contested by creationists, including many right-wing Christian supporters of the President.
Mr Deutsch's resignation appeared to have as much to do with the fact that he lied on his job application - he said he had a bachelor's degree in journalism from Texas A&M University, when in fact he never graduated - as with the way he did his job.
Nasa officials refused to be drawn on the reasons for his resignation, but its chief administrator recently sent an e-mail to all his staff assuring them it was not the job of public affairs officers "to alter, filter or adjust engineering or scientific material produced by Nasa's technical staff".
Dr Hansen and others have argued that Mr Deutsch was only part of a much broader problem of political interference at the agency. Dr Hansen, who directs Nasa's Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York, said the Bush administration appointee had demanded to review his lectures and publications in advance.
After he gave a speech highly critical of the administration's global warming policies last year, he told The New York Times, he was warned that there would be "dire consequences" if he continued to make similar criticisms.
His complaints have drawn sympathy from Republicans as well as Democrats. The chairman of the House of Representatives' Science Committee, the New York Republican Sherwood Boehlert, wrote a letter to Nasa last week denouncing what he called "an atmosphere of intimidation". "Political figures ought to be reviewing their public statements to make sure they are consistent with the best available science," the letter read. "Scientists should not be reviewing their statements to make sure they are consistent with the current political orthodoxy."Reuse content

"Henry, I was so damn scared, I thought you were dead."
The news was blaring behind me, 'dozens murdered on Harper's Islands, which has seen it's fair share of blood' as I flew into his outstretched arms.
(another close call, my nerves can't handle one more)
"Every thing's okay now, Veronica, I'm here and very much alive."
As that smile hit me, which has brought me out of the darkness so many times, the tears I had tried so hard to hold in came spilling out.
"I'm sorry I let you worry. I was...am still a little spooked from the whole ordeal."
He, who came into my life with that smile and arms that could hold me for hours, should be the one wrapped in blankets receiving hugs and tea with honey not me.
(trust me I've seen my fair share of blood)
"It must have been horrible."
Henry and his smile seemed like they had no cares in the world but I knew him now better then anyone to know he was still afraid.
Before he could force this fake cheer on me anymore my arms found him like they were old friends and it wasn't long before he came crumbling apart.
"I'm sorry, Ronnie, I'm so goddamn sorry."
Those fingers of his, long and nimble as they brush the hair out of his bloodshot eyes, hold on to me even tighter then ever before.
"Shh, it's okay, I'm here."
It didn't take long for the tears to dry on our faces, that smile to come back to life once again, and in a matter of minutes it was back to normal.
(if normal is secrets burning holes in our tongues and blood on hands)
"Ronnie, I was wondering..."
I knew that look in his eyes, even if today it seemed a little off (I had no idea of what horrors waited for me), like the back of my hand because of the many nights of him on my couch.
"You don't even need to ask, Henry, go get your things and you can stay as long as you need."
He leaves a quick kiss to my forehead and a hug that does a good job of stealing my breath away.
Everything is filled with so much normal, the past is slowly drifting into the fog (no more blood here to stain our cheeks), that it would make anyone hurl but for me it's a comfort.
(normal is a piece of apple pie I never seem to get anymore)
Then it a matter of seconds the so-called normal life I'm creating for myself, wondering to myself if this boy with his smile and sad eyes is going to be apart of it, comes crashing to the ground.
(shattering into so many pieces it's impossible to put it back together again.
"Hello, Veronica Mars? This is Abby Mills, and I need to talk to you about Henry Dunn."
I can hear his footsteps, each filled with a rush to come back to me and pull me into those arms once again, and my fingers curl around the taser this time ready to use and not have it used on me.
(I still have the burns to prove it)
"Ronnie, I'm back."
That smile slowly fades away when he sees the frown pulling at my lips and the taser keeping him as far away from as possible.
(all of this 'normal' crap was too good to be true)
"I called the cops, Henry, so just leave."
On the outside it looks like I'm ready, ready to fight for my life once again, and ready to push him out of my door and life for good but inside I'm coming undone.
(saving so many tears I might not even make it into the shower)
"If you just listen to me, Veronica, I'll explain everything, please."
Those warm arms, that have taken me in too many times to count (and now could bring a swift end to me if I give in), open up to take me away from all of my troubles but I stand my ground.
"Leave, please, I can't even stand to look at you, Henry. I never knew what a sick son of a bitch you really were."
An deep ache in my very soul is starting, and now I get to feel like Abby did but not nearly as bad (forever is a long time to bounce back from), and I'm afraid it won't ever leave me.
(an ache in my heart for him, for Lilly, for Logan, and for Cassidy that will never heal)
his lips begin to form explanations, excuses, and 'I'm sorrys' but the only thing I can hear is the sirens following him out.
And today the news is on mute while I'm busy trying for normal again and waiting for it to come crumbling down again.
'Serial Killer Henry Dunn Brought to Justice thanks to Veronica Mars, Abby Mills, Being Tried For The Murders Of Over A Dozen People.'

You can just about get away with it in Kabul (in Kandahar they'll say it is a US PSYOP campaign and bomb the stations that broadcast it) but out in the sticks (i.e. about 50m outside Kabul) it will be more than alien, it will be a big stick for every self educated, self appointed mullah to beat not just his own people but the agents of the godless West.

Who We Are
A Sense of Loss
Review by Gary Hill
The latest disc from Nosound, this will again be well received by fans of Porcupine Tree and modern Marillion. I'd have to say that all the music here is good, but it would be nice if they gave us a little more variety. I don't see anyone getting offended by this, but the lack of hills amidst all the sonic valleys means that it might be possible to be bored with it. As beautiful and lush as a lot of this is, that would be a real shame. Some more contrast would go a long way towards both making the music more interesting and giving greater appreciation of the sonic beauty.
Track by Track Review
Some Warmth Into This Chill
Fading Silently
Overall the motif doesn't vary a lot here from the previous cut. It's more of the same moody, atmospheric modern progressive rock. There are parts here that remind me a lot of groups like The Church.
Tender Claim
Although they haven't really changed things out here, this is much more lush and it's prettier. Its increased intensity makes it a step up from the stuff we've heard so far. I'd peg this as one of the highlights of the set.
My Apology
Mellower, this one reminds me a little of Pink Floyd. It's intricate and quite pretty. It's one of the more effective cuts on show.
Constant Contrast
This feels even more Floydian to me. It's quite pretty and poignant and another highlight in my book.
Winter Will Come
Built on an epic scale, this is the most dynamic and powerful cut on show. It has some of the heaviest music here, but this is nothing like heavy metal. A study in contrasts, this also has some of the most purely ambient sounds of the whole set. It's an exceptional potent piece. I wish they could have spread some of this form of variety around a bit more on the disc, but this is a great way to end it all in serious style.

Rangers coach John Tortorella confirmed that the team is considering asking both Wojtek Wolski and Erik Christensen to accept conditioning stints with the team's minor-league affiliate in Hartford, Connecticut.
Both players have missed significant time -- Wolski sat out more than two months after undergoing sports hernia surgery in November, Christensen has been scratched the last nine games -- and could benefit from playing in the American Hockey League.
Tortorella said the team has not yet asked Wolski about the possibility, but that it is being "discussed."
"We're in the process of trying to figure all that out," Tortorella said. "I think it would be good for the players to just go down there and play and get some games in."
Wolski not played since October 24; even since being activated off injured reserve January 5, the 25-year-old has not been able to crack the roster.
"I'm not forcing it," Tortorella said. "We monitor our players. I guess the answer [is], I'm not saying we have to get him in, because I like some things going on with our team right now. That's the situation. He hasn't played a whole bunch. We'll see how other guys go along here and if we feel we have to get someone in, he'll probably be the next guy to get an opportunity."
Christensen may also be asked to join Wolski in Hartford; the skilled-yet-inconsistent center has played in only four games since November 23.

Evolution The Unifying Theory of Biology
21222324252627282930 11121314151617181920 Contemporary Scientific History of the Universe 12345678910 13.7 billion years in 30 volumes - each volume = 450 pages -each page = 1 million years Big Bang, p. 1 Origin of Earth Life BeginsComplex Animal Life Dinosaurs pp. 215-385 Modern Humans p. 450, last sentence
What is Evolution?
Evolution = Descent with Modification Species originate as modified descendants of other species. Biological evolution is the origin of new species from previously existing ones over time.
"As many more individuals of each species are born than can possibly survive, and as consequently there is a frequently recurring struggle for existence, it follows that any being, if it vary in any manner profitable to itself, under the complex and sometimes varying conditions of life, will have a better chance of survival and thus be naturally selected. From the strong principle of inheritance, any selected variety will tend to propagate its new and modified form." Charles Darwin, The Origin of Species
Darwin's Theory If there is a struggle for existence… If heritable variations exist among members of a population… If these variations affect survival and/or reproduction… Then species will change over time.
There is a struggle for existence. Species tend to produce more offspring than the environment can support. Darwin calculated that even one slow-breeding female elephant could give rise to 19,000,000 elephants after 750 years if all of her young survived and reproduced at the same rate. Obviously, the environment cannot support all elephants that are born.
Heritable variations exist. An impressive amount of variation exists within living species. Breeders of animals and plants use these diverse characteristics to establish new varieties of dogs, cats, pigeons, wheat, cotton, corn, and other domesticated organisms.
Variations affect survival & reproduction. Certain individuals possess inherited traits that make them more likely than other individuals to survive and/or reproduce. "Differential survival and reproduction"
Species will change over time. Evolution in Action
Populations evolve, not individuals. Individuals may change throughout their lifetimes, but this is not evolution. Evolution occurs across many generations. Over time, populations acquire new characteristics that enhance their ability to survive and/or reproduce in a given environment.
Variations are "Random" Mutation and sexual recombination occur randomly. The variations that occur do not anticipate the "needs" of the organism. In this sense, "random" does not mean that anything can happen.
Natural Selection is NOT Random Genetic variation occurs randomly, but natural selection is NOT random. Genetic variations that aid survival and reproduction are more likely to become common than variations that do not. Nature imposes a direction to evolutionary development. Though dolphins are more closely related to humans than they are to sharks, they have evolved bodies adapted to an aquatic environment.
Evolution is About Consequences Evolution is historically contingent, that is, "windows of opportunity" constantly open and close. Once certain changes have occurred, the range of possible future changes is permanently altered.
"Windows of Opportunity" The earliest turtles could not retract their necks. Proganochelys 220 million years ago Proganochelys 220 million years ago side neck turtles (southern hemisphere) side neck turtles (southern hemisphere) vertical neck turtles (northern hemisphere) vertical neck turtles (northern hemisphere) Later, two distinct forms of neck retraction evolved. With the extinction of the turtles that could not retract their necks, the possibility that another form of neck retraction would evolve was lost.
Evolution is Predictive Tiktaalik roseae Ichthyostega Eusthenopteron Panderichthys Acanthostega Tiktaalik 385 million years ago 365 million years ago ? ?
Evolution is Testable Human & Ape Chromosome Numbers Hypothesis: Human chromosome 2 resulted from the fusion of two chromosomes present in the common ancestor of humans and the other great apes. 1958 Human chromosome number is 46 1960 Chimpanzee chromosome number is 48. 1961 Gorilla and orangutan chromosome numbers are 48. 1975 Detailed analysis confirms that four species share ancestry. 1980 Banding patterns of humans and chimpanzees match. 1982 Telomeres in the middle of human chromosome 2. centromere telomeres
Evolution is Testable Human & Ape Chromosome Numbers 1958 Human chromosome number is 46. 1960 Chimpanzee chromosome number is 48. 1961 Gorilla and orangutan chromosome numbers are 48. 1975 Detailed analysis confirms that four species share ancestry. 1980 Banding patterns of humans and chimpanzees match. 1982 Telomeres in the middle of human chromosome 2. 1991 Sub-telomeric sequence confirmed by DNA analysis. 2002 Precise fusion point sequenced. 2005 Chimpanzee genome sequenced. centromere telomeres 1992 Second centromere discovered.
Evolution is Testable Human & Ape Chromosome Numbers These scientists were not limited to simply noting the similarities in the chromosomes. They were able to use evolutionary theory to consistently predict what they would later confirm to be correct. Video
Is Evolution a Theory or a Fact? Evolution is both a fact and a theory. Scientists no longer really question the basic fact that evolution has occurred. The concept of common descent has withstood nearly 150 years of extensive testing. There are various competing theories used to explain HOW evolution happens.
Is Evolution Controversial? The socio-political controversy stems from the notion science is trying to explain phenomena that some religions have already explained. The genuine scientific disagreements concern technical points about how evolution happens, not whether it has occurred.
Conclusion "Nothing in Biology makes sense except in the light of evolution." Theodosius Dobzhansky (1900-1975)
