Darwin is ane a the maist influential folk in human historie fir sure. Darwin furthset his theory o evolution wi compellin evidence in his 1859 beuk On the Origin of Species, owercomin scientific rejection o earlier concepts o transmutation o species. Bi the 1870s, the scientific commonity an maist leart fowk war insense't wi the idea o evolution wis true. Houaniver, mony war mair taen wi competin explanations an it wis nae till efter the modren evolutionary synthesis o the 1930s tae the 1950s that braid concord wi keppit wi that naitural selection is the steidin evolution is biggit on.

Bumbazelt wi the geografi distribution o beasts an fossils gaithert on the vaige, Darwin pit doun ae puckle o jottins, an frae them biggit his theory o naitural selection in 1838. Thou he haed communes wi ae hantle ither naituralists about his ideas, he haedna time for richt canny resairch an his geological wark wis aye pit abuin aathin. In 1858, whiles screivin his theory in 1858, Alfred Russel Wallace sent him ae quair that pit forrit the same idea, garrin the jynt furthsettin o baith o thair theories belive. Darwin's wark establisht evolutionary strynd wi modification as the mucklest scientific raison ahint sinderins in naitur. In 1871 he speirt intil human evolution an sexual selection in The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex, follaed bi The Expression of the Emotions in Man an Animals (1872).

Fowk metal
Fowk metal is a kynd o metal muisic that taks elements o fowk muisic an jynes it thegither wi metal. Mair or less ony baund that jynes fowk muisic wi some kynd o metal is cried fowk metal - the metal is ordinar black metal, pouer metal or deid metal, tho ithir kynds is uised forby.
Muisical chairacteristics
Fowk metal bands aften soond gey different frae ilk ither for twa main raisons. First, they are commin frae different fowk muisic tradeetions (sae a fowk metal baund frae Finland is gaun tae soond different tae ane frae the Faroe Islands ) an sae the fowk elements will be disteenctive tae ilka kintra. Seicond, they are commin frae different kynds o metal (sae a fowk metal baund that haes strang deid metal influence winna soond the same as ane that haes strang pouer metal influence, e'en gin they draw frae the same fowk tradeetion e.g. German). The reenge o metal genres taen intil fowk metal is gey braid - some baunds draws frae ae kynd of metal, e.g. Elvenking taks pouer metal for ordinar or Windir uises anerly black metal. Ither baunds jynes thegither different kynds o metal - e.g. Turisas jynes pouer metal, a tait black metal etc.
Syne maist fowk metal baunds is frae Europe, the maist ordinar fowk tradeetions uised bi thaim is European. Baunds frae Ireland taks a mair Celtic soond, while baunds sic as Skyforger is mair Baltic soondin, syne they are frae Latvie. Essentially, baunds taks the fowk muisic tradeetions frae their ain kintra. This haes led tae labels sic as Celtic metal - it shoud be taen tae mynd that baunds that cries thaimsels Pagan metal, Celtic metal, North American metal etc. is for ordinar fowk metal.
Fowk metal baunds isna anerly diferent in their wale o kynds o metal an fowk, but in the wey that they jyne the twa thegither an aw. For example, fowk melodies can be played on a fowk instrument (sic as a kantele) or on the electric guitar or baith. Fowk melodies can be heard ower a metal rhythm, metal riffs can be heard ower fowk rhythms an sae on. Fowk melodies can be oreeginal or tradeetional - baunds whiles kiver hail tradeetional sangs; e.g. Ensiferum kivered a short sang frae the Finnish naitional epic the Kalevala on their Dragonheads EP. At the same time, baunds whiles taks sangs frae ither genres an chyngee thaim intae a fowk metal style; e.g. Turisas haed a kiver o Those Were The Days on ane o their early demos, an aften kiver Boney M's Rasputin live.
The muckle variations in different kynds o fowk muisic means that there is muckle variations in the fowk elements in fowk metal. Semple dance rhythms sic as jig an polka isna byordinar. At the same time, some baunds haes mair complex an progressive scrievins in their sangs - Turisas is a guid exemplar o siclike. Muckle, ruisin owerwirds for singin alang is gey ordinar, as they are in mony strynds o fowk muisic.
The degree that fowk muisic is uised in fowk metal chynges frae baund tae baund. Some plays mainly some kynd o metal wi a tait fowk eikit til it, while some haes fowk muisic (melodies, instrumentation etc.) as mair integral tae their muisic, sic as the Finnish baund Korpiklaani.
Vocals in fowk metal is raither varied, dependin on whit kynd o metal is bein uised as the metal element. Sae deid metal style harsk vocals, black metal style vocals, clean vocals, queirs etc. is aw uised.
Leerical themes
In some respects, fowk metal shares common grund wi ither genres o metal in leerical terms - sangs anent war, releegion etc. isna byordinar, for exemplar. It shoud be merkit that mony baunds sings in the leids o their ain kintra raither nor the Inglis (that's sae muckle a lingua franca in metal muisic as in ony ither sphere o communication). Maist fowk metal baunds will hae a mixtur-maxter approach, wi some leerics in the Ingles an ithers in, for example, the Finnish leid.
History
Some baunds taks maist o their leerics frae the history o their kintra. Skyforger frae Latvie is a guid exemplar. Korpiklaani hae a couple o sangs anent Finnish history, as dae Turisas.
Meethologie
Its mair common for baunds tae sing anent their kintra's meethologie. Týr frae the Faroe Islands haes mony sangs anent Norse meethologie, Korpiklaani aften sings anent Finnish meeths sic as trowes, as dae their kintramen Finntroll. Mair nor a twa-three fowk metal baunds frae Finland haes based leerics on their naitional epic, Kalevala.
Sucre
Sucre (population 247,300 in 2006) is the constitutional caipital o Bolivie an the caipital o the depairtment o Chuquisaca. Locatit in the sooth-central pairt o the kintra, Sucre lies at a elevation o 2750m (9,000 ft). This relatively heich altitude gies the ceety a cool temperate climate year-roond.
Fowk metal
Alcohol
A wheen o fowk metal sangs is anent drinkin, aften in a humourous mainer, but no aye. . Ensiferum haes One More Magic Potion on their album Victory Songs, Turisas haes One More on Battle Metal an Korpiklaani haes a wheen o thaim: Beer Beer, Wooden Pints, Happy Little Boozer an refers tae drinkin in ither sangs. In fact, Trollfest frae Norrowey cried their first album Wilkommen Folk Tell Drekka Fest that gaes ower intae Scots, neir eneuch, as Walcome, Fowk, tae the Drinkin Fest.
Týr (baund)
Týr [tʊiːɹ] is a fowk metal baund frae the Faroe Islands. They tak their name frae the Norse god Týr, a god o war that wis wirshippit in the langsyne.
Fowk metal
Naitur
As wi a wheen o fowk music, a wheen o fowk metal is anent forests, ainimals, huntin an bens etc. A great deal o this owerlaps wi leerics anent meethology an paganism. Leerics anent naitur is for ordinar a celebration o it.
Týr (baund)
History
Týr wis stairtit in Januar 1998 whan Heri Joensen met up wi an auld baundmate o his, Kári Streymoy, at a pairty in Colpenhaven. Joensen sugeestit tae Streymoy that they shoud tryst for tae jam. Streymoy wisna sae keen at first, but later decidit tae dae it. They war suin jyned by anither auld baundmate o theirs, bassist Gunnar H. Thomsen, makkin thaim a trio. They decidit tae mak muisic that wis hivily inspired bi Norse meethologie, Faroese fowk muisic, Iron Maiden an Dream Theatre. Ower the nine year o the baund's exeestance baundmates haes come an gane. Vocalist Pól Arni Holm an guitarist Jón Joensen (Heri's brither) wis pairt o the baund while they recordit How Far To Asgaard but quat the baund no lang efter it wis pitten oot. Terji Skibenæs jyned the baund efter Jón Joensen haed quat. Allan Streymoy (Kári's brither), teuk ower the singin for a bit time while they recordit an set futh the single Ólavur Riddararós. Efter Allan quat Heri Joensen teuk ower the vocals. It wis this line-up that recordit Eric the Red. Terji Skibenæs quat the baund for a bit time efer Eric the Red wis pitten oot. The baund pleyed as a trio for some time, but in the simmer o 2004 a guitarist frae Iceland cried Ottó P. Arnarson jyned for a wee while. Efter Ottó left, Terji cam back.
Fowk metal
Releegion
Some fowk metal is based on pagan releegion, aither throu the beliefs o the baund members or semply throu bein based on meethology. This haes led tae the term Pagan metal bein uised; that in maist cases is semply fowk metal wi a pagan focus. Skyforger aften sings anent Latvian paganism; Turisas scrieved in the liner-jottins tae Sahti-Waari, a sang on Battle Metal that is

Fowk metal
Releegion
Mony fowk-metal baunds uises auld pagan seembols in their album airtwark etc. e'en gin they dinna sing anent paganism. Some fowk metal is hostile tae releegions sic as Christianity - Finntroll is a guid exemplar o this, but is whiles haurd tae tell gin they are bein sairious or no.
At the ither end o the scale is bands sic as Holy Blood frae Ukraine that's Christians an sings anent their faith in Jesus an their Christian faith in maist o their sangs sic as The Spring.
Fantasy
Some ither baunds, sic as Ensiferum haes sangs anent ordinar fantasy relatit topics wi nae speceefic reference tae paganism or meethology. Mony o the bands wi fantasy relatit leerics haes been influenced tae some degree bi Tolkien's wark The Lord of the Rings an ither sic fantasy beuks.
Politics
No mony fowk metal baunds sings anent politics. The main exception is Skyclad frae Ingland that hae a left-wing. libertarian view no aften tae be seen in metal. There's a wee element o faur-richt an Neo-Nazi fowk metal an aw, thou is shoud be merkit that whiles fowk lowp tae wrang conclusions anent the poleetical leanins o a baund based on their uiss o auld pagan seembols, that mony o haes been uised bi faur-richt groups an aw. A nummer o baunds sic as Skyforger haes publicly said they dinna uphaud Nazism, racism, the faur-richt etc. for tae evyte confusion an no be taintit wi the reputation o bein faur-richt thaimsels.

It is for ordinar acceptit amang pouer metal fans that the genre's history proper stairts wi the twa Helloween albums Keeper of the Seven Keys in pairts I an II in 1987 an 1988. Some threap that Manowar war the first pouer metal baund, but syne thair muisic is for ordinar mair tradeetional heavy metal wi epic, fantasy based leerics an syne thay thaimsels dinna cry thaimsels pouer metal, Helloween's claim tae be the first is for ordinar acceptit. Efter the first wave o pouer metal baunds haed ceased tae be excitin an new, HammerFall's debut album Glory to the Brave in 1997 stairtit something o a pouer metal revival that includit sic baunds as Rhapsody of Fire (tho at that time thay war cried Rhapsody) an Edguy - tho Edguy haed been aboot syne 1992, it wisna until thair Vain Glory Opera album o 1998 that thay haed thair brekthrou.
Muisical Chairacteristics
Maist pouer metal baunds hae a seemilar lineup o vocals, guitars (twa, for ordinar), bass, keybuirds an drums - tho obviously this is flexible tae some degree. Maist pouer metal is fast an melodic, tho gallop rhythms an mid tempo sangs arna byordinar for maist baunds.
Vocals
For ordinar pouer metal singin is hie pitched (ZP Theart o DragonForce an Tony Kakko o Sonata Arctica is guid exemplars o the teepical tenor pouer metal sangster) an is awmaist aye clear (thus defined as clean vocals as agin the harsk vocals in deid metal an black metal. It isna byordinar tae hae queirs in the owerwirds (as Rhapsody of Fire aften daes), but it is mair common tae hae muckle, ruisin owerwirds athoot queirs. Gey few pouer metal singers doubles as instrumentalists, but the setup isna unkent.
Guitar
Pouer metal guitarists for ordinar plays fast streams o notes, but chynges chords comparatively slaw, ance per meisur or slawer. Lead guitar lines is aften gey melodic an technically demaundin, an is aften hairmonised, aither wi keybuirds or a seicont guitar pairt. Solos is awmaist aye gey fast an demaundin, wi tappin bein common (Herman Li o DragonForce an Jani Liimatainen o Sonata Arctica is guid exemplars o pouer metal guitarists in terms o technique). Pouer metal tends tae uise guitar as a melodic, raither nor a rhythmic instrument.
Bass Guitar
Maist bass in pouer metal is fast, ruit-note playin, tho some bassists is mair melodic nor that. Gin Manowar is bein coontit as pouer metal raither nor heavy metal than thair bassist Joey DeMaio is likely the maist weel kent bassist in the genre.
Keybuirds
Mony pouer metal baunds haes taen keybuirds intae thair arrangements - the usin o thaim varies frae suttle accentin an ootlinin o chords (Kamelot uises keybuirds lik that) tae mair orchestral, melodic lines (sic as Luca Turilli an Rhapsody of Fire). Some baunds that cry thaimsels Symphonic Pouer Metal sic as Nightwish haes been kent tae uise fou orchestras whan recordin mair symphonic elements, tho thay will tend tae replicate thir elements on keybuirds whan playin live.
Drums
A wheen o pouer metal drummers uises twa bass drums for mair speed, meanin thay can play a constant stream o saxteenth notes (semiquavers) wi snare drum accents on the beats. This style is quite common in pouer metal as in ither heavy metal genres, tho it isna uised bi aw drummers bi ony means. Blast beat drummin is gey common an aw.
Leerical Themes
Mony teepical metal themes sic as anti-Christianity an poleetical issues isna common in pouer metal, but thay arna unkent (eg. Stratovarius aften scrieve anent a warld view based on Marxism). The stereotype o pouer metal leerics is that thay are aw anent fantasy an meethology, an tho that is a raither braid generalisation, it is true tae some extent. Mony baunds sic as Rhapsody of Fire sings exclusively anent fantasy relatit topics, while some sic as Manowar daes sae as weel as singin anent metal cultur. Raither mair rare is baunds sic as Sonata Arctica that aften sings anent mair general topics sic as luve. Some baunds taks a focus o a parteecular kynd o history, aften in concept albums - e.g. Iced Earth's The Glorious Burden is anent American history.
American/Classic Pouer Metal
American pour metal emerged in the 1980s as an affshuit o heavy metal an speed metal. For ordinar it is fast, strauchtforrit an somewhit heavy an aggressive, but wi a distinct epic "fecthin" feel. Keybuirds dinna tak a lead role in this kynd o metal at aw, wi the focus bein mainly on vocals an riffs. The muisic is gey seemilar tae its influences, but cleckit the term pouer metal an wis important in inspirin the later melodic pouer metal muivement. Europe haes its ain baunds plyin a gey seemilar style sic as Grave Digger. The maist weel kent baund o this genre is wioot a dout Manowar.
European/Melodic Pouer Metal
This style emergit in the 1980s wi Germany's Helloween an Finland's Stratovarius wi a strang focus on melody an positive, upliftin themes. This kynd o pouer metal haes mair in the wey o keybuirds an neo-classical guitar solos. The leerics o this brainch o pouer metal is for ordinar anent hie fantasy. HammerFall an Blind Guardian is amang the leadin baunds in this genre.
Extreme Pouer Metal
This is a mixtur-maxter o the (for orndinar hie pitched) harsk vocals (or mixed clean an harsk vocals)) an aggressive feel o melodic deid metal wi the melodies an keybuirds o pouer metal. This genre is heivily based in Finland. It is distinct frae melodic deid metal bi its heivy uiss o keybuirds an neo-clessical influenced guitar. Children of Bodom's earlier wark coud be cried Extreme Pouer Metal, as coud the wark o Norther an DragonForce.
Prog Pouer Metal
Pouer metal that's influenced bi clessic progressive rock an metal baunds sic as Rush an Dream Theater. It featurs a mair complex an varied approach tae sang-writin nor tradeetional pouer metal.
Thrash Pouer Metal
This is clearly pouer metal wi influence frae thrash metal. The hie, clean vocals an melodies o pouer metal tends tae be retained, but aften wi the aggressive riffs, some shootit vocals an leerical themes taen frae thrash metal. Iced Earth is aiblins the best exemplar o Thrash Pouer Metal.

Albert Einstein
Albert Einstein (14 Mairch 1879 – 18 Apryle 1955) wis a German-born theoretical physicist. He developpit the theory o relativity, ane o the twa pillars o modren physics (alangside quantum mechanics). Einstein's work is forby kent for its influence on the filosofie o science. Einstein is best kent in popular cultur for his mass–energy equivalence formula E = mc2 (which haes been dubbed "the warld's maist famous equation"). He received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his services tae theoretical physics, an especially for his diskivery o the law o the photoelectric effect", a pivotal step in the evolution o quantum theory.
Near the beginnin o his career, Einstein thocht that Newtonian mechanics wisna eneuch ony mair fur tae reconcile the laws o clessical mechanics wi the laws o the electromagnetic field. This led him tae develop his special theory o relativity throu his time at the Swiss Patent Office in Bern, Swisserland. Briefly afore, he aquired the Swiss ceetizenship in 1901, whilk he kept for his hale life, efter bein stateless for mair nor five year. He realised, housomever, that the principle o relativity coud forby be extendit tae gravitational fields, an wi his subsequent theory o gravitation in 1916, he published a paper on general relativity. He continued tae deal wi problems o stateestical mechanics an quantum theory, whilk led tae his explanations o pairticle theory an the motion o molecules. He forby investigatit the thermal properties o licht whilk laid the foondation o the photon theory o licht. In 1917, Einstein applee'd the general theory o relativity tae model the lairge-scale structur o the universe.
He wis veesitin the Unitit States whan Adolf Hitler came tae pouer in 1933 an, bein Jewish, didnae gae back tae Germany, whaur he haed been a professor at the Berlin Academy o Sciences. He sattlet in the Unitit States, acomin an American ceetizen in 1940. On the een o Warld War II, he endorsed a letter tae Preses Franklin D. Roosevelt alertin him tae the potential development o "extremely pouerful bombs o a new teep" an recommendin that the U.S. begin seemilar resairch. This eventually led tae whit wad acome the Manhattan Project. Einstein supportit defendin the Allied forces, but generally denoonced the idea o uisin the newlins diskivert nuclear fission as a wappen. Later, wi the Breetish filosofer Bertrand Russell, Einstein signed the Russell–Einstein Manifesto, whilk heichlichtit the danger o nuclear wappens. Einstein wis affiliatit wi the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey, till his daith in 1955.
