Natural selection 
 It was proposed independently by the English biologists Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace in the middle of the 19th century (1858).
Natural selection 
 Natural selection is the process where organisms with favorable traits are more likely to reproduce.
Natural selection 
 Some of these differences might make one organism better at surviving and reproducing than others in a particular habitat.
Natural selection 
 Natural selection explains why living organisms change over time to have the anatomy, the functions and behaviour that they have.
Natural selection 
 The elimination is caused by the relative fit between the individuals and the environment they live in.
Natural selection 
 After many generations, the population has more helpful genetic differences, and fewer harmful ones.
Natural selection 
 A well-known example of natural selection in action is the development of antibiotic resistance in microorganisms.
Natural selection 
 Since the discovery of penicillin in 1928 by Alexander Fleming, antibiotics have been used to fight bacterial diseases.
Natural selection 
 Natural populations of bacteria contain, among their vast numbers of individual members, considerable variation in their genetic material, as the result of mutations.
Natural selection 
 When exposed to antibiotics, most bacteria die quickly, but some have mutations that make them slightly less susceptible.
Natural selection 
 Given enough time, and repeated exposure to the antibiotic, a population of antibiotic-resistant bacteria will emerge.
Natural selection 
 This leads to what is known as an evolutionary arms race, or co-evolution, in which bacteria continue to develop strains that are less susceptible to antibiotics, while medical researchers continue to develop new antibiotics that can kill them.
Natural selection 
 Response strategies typically include the use of different, stronger antibiotics; however, new strains of MRSA have recently emerged that are resistant even to these drugs.
Natural selection 
 A similar situation occurs with pesticide resistance in plants and insects, and with malarial resistance to quinine.
Natural selection 
 At first, the light coloured moths survived better because they were camouflaged against the light colour of the nearby trees.
Natural selection 
 Mimicry is another example: Some harmless insects mimic other insects which are dangerous, or which taste foul.
Natural selection 
 It is a theory of Charles Darwin that certain evolutionary traits can be explained by competition within a species.
Natural selection 
 Darwin defined sexual selection as the effects of the "struggle between the individuals of one sex, generally the males, for the possession of the other sex".
Natural selection 
 Traits selected by male combat are called secondary sexual characteristics (including horns, antlers, etc.)
Natural selection 
 Genes that enable males to develop impressive ornaments or fighting ability may simply show off greater disease resistance or a more efficient metabolism—features that also benefit females.
Natural selection 
 "Since Darwin’s days it has become clear that this kind of selection includes a far wider realm of phenomena, and instead of sexual selection it is better referred to as selection for reproductive success... genuine selection, not elimination, is involved, unlike survival selection.
Natural selection 
 Considering how many new kinds of selection for reproductive success are discovered year after year, I am beginning to wonder whether it is not even more important than survival selection, at least in certain higher organisms".
Devanagari 
 Devanāgarī (देवनागरी) is an abugida and brahmic script used to write many North Indian languages, including Sanskrit, Hindi, Marathi, Sindhi, Bihari, Bhili, Konkani, Bhojpuri, Nepal Bhasa and Nepali from Nepal and sometimes Kashmiri.
Continental circuits 
 Some teams, such as Team Milram, have one team on the ProTour, a team of younger riders on the continental circuit as well as being linked with U23 teams.
Continental circuits 
 Usually organisers of a ProTour event can invite one or two teams from the continental circuit to compete.
Fiddle 
 The word fiddle is also used for instruments of several hundred years ago which developed into the violin.
Fiddle 
 In south eastern Europe there was even a fiddle with a belly (the front of the instrument) made of skin.
Fiddle 
 One, two or three of the strings may have been used for a drone (continuous note) while playing the tune on the top string(s).
Fiddle 
 Many fiddlers have not received classical training but have learned by listening to other fiddlers and copying them.
Fiddle 
 Most fiddlers use bows which are the same as violin bows, but in some countries such as Hungary they use shorter, heavier bows with horse hair that is tied around the frog (the heel of the bow).
Fiddle 
 Some of them may have been able to read music, but many would have learned by copying other players and memorizing the music.
Fiddle 
 At important feasts the minstrels may have played music while walking up to the high table when the food was brought in.
Fiddle 
 We can see from old paintings that they sometimes played with other instruments such as trumpets, drums or percussion.
Fiddle 
 We do not know the music they played because it was never written down, but some tunes we still hear today may have come from those old tunes, since some people still learn tunes by ear, from people who learned them by ear, and so on.
Hardanger fiddle 
 A Hardanger fiddle or hardingfele in Norwegian, is a traditional string instrument used mainly in the south west of  Norway.
Hardanger fiddle 
 Four of the strings are strung and played like a violin, while the other strings are sympathetic strings (they vibrate when the others are played).
Hardanger fiddle 
 It was the Norwegian tradition for a  bridal procession to be led to the church by a Hardanger fiddler.
Hardanger fiddle 
 The instrument has a lot of decoration, with a carved animal (usually the Lion of Norway) or a carved woman's head as part of the scroll at the top of the pegbox, mother of pearl in the tailpiece and fingerboard, and black ink decorations called 'rosing' on the body of the instrument.
Hardanger fiddle 
 When he wrote the famous tune “Morning” for the music for Peer Gynt he was thinking of the notes that would be played on the Hardanger fiddle.

Auguste Rodin 
 Auguste Rodin (born François-Auguste-René Rodin; 12 November 1840 – 17 November 1917) was a French sculptor.
Auguste Rodin 
 Although Rodin is generally considered the start of modern sculpture, he did not set out to rebel against the past.
Auguste Rodin 
 He took a craftsman-like approach to his work, but he was rejected three times to Paris's foremost school of art.
Auguste Rodin 
 They clashed with the sculpture tradition, in which works were decorative, formulaic, or highly thematic.
Auguste Rodin 
 Rather than try to convince skeptics of its merit, Rodin repaid the Société his commission and moved the figure to his own garden.
Auguste Rodin 
 For example, a Japanese patron, Matsukata Kojiro, paid for some of Rodin's best castings, including "The Gates of Hell."
Joe Cole 
 He moved to Chelsea in 2003 for a prize of £6,600,00 and scored 10 goals for Chelsea in the 2004/05 season.
Rebec 
 The rebec dates back to the Middle Ages and was particularly popular in the 15th and 16th centuries.
Rebec 
 The rebec can have any number of strings from one to five, although three is the most common number.
Rebec 
 The instrument played high notes like the violin, but in later years bigger rebecs were made that played lower notes.
Resonator 
 In electromagnetics a cavity resonator is a resonator composed of a space that is usually surrounded by a dielectric or metal which allows standing wave patterns at particular frequencies, eigenmodes, correlated to their size, shape, and material.
Resonator 
 It also has a special effect: a mechanism which, when it is turned on, opens and shuts the resonators very quickly so that a trembling sound is heard.
Resonator 
 The body of a violin is a resonator: without the body the sound of the string vibrating would hardly be heard, just as the sound of an elastic band stretched between two fingers can hardly be heard.
Joshua Bell 
 He began  violin lessons at the age of four after his mother found that her son had taken rubber bands from around the house and stretched them across the handles of his dresser drawer to pluck out music he had heard her play on the piano.
Joshua Bell 
 He learned the violin very quickly, but also had time to enjoy things such as  video games and  sports.
Joshua Bell 
 At the age of fourteen, Bell appeared as a soloist with the Philadelphia Orchestra conducted by Riccardo Muti.
Joshua Bell 
 He studied the violin at the Indiana University's Jacobs School of Music, while managing to graduate from Bloomington High School North in 1984.
Joshua Bell 
 Joshua Bell first played in the Carnegie Hall, New York in 1985 with the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra.
Joshua Bell 
 He performed the solo part on John Corigliano's Oscar-winning soundtrack for the movie The Red Violin and was also featured in Ladies in Lavender.
Joshua Bell 
 Bell also made an appearance in the movie Music of the Heart, a story about the power of music, with other famous violinists.
Joshua Bell 
 Bell's violin is a 300-year-old Stradivarius violin called the Gibson ex Huberman, which was made in 1713, a time when Stradivarius was making his best instruments.
Joshua Bell 
 This violin had been stolen twice from the previous owner, Bronislaw Huberman; the last time the thief confessed as he was dying to having stolen it.
Joshua Bell 
 Bell had held and played the violin, and its owner at the time jokingly told Bell the violin could be his for four million dollars.
Joshua Bell 
 Shortly afterwards, by chance, Bell came across the violin again and discovered it was about to be sold to a wealthy German  to become part of a collection.
Joshua Bell 
 Bell then sold the Stradivarius violin that he had at the time for a little more than two million dollars and bought the Gibson ex Huberman for a little under the four million dollar asking price.
Joshua Bell 
 He played the song Vocalise by Rachmaninoff in the Royal Albert Hall at the Last Night of the Proms in 2007.
Joshua Bell 
 In an unusual experiment the Washington Post asked Bell to stand in the street and busk (play his violin) by the entrance to a Washington Metro station one cold morning in January 2007.
Joshua Bell 
 During the 45 minutes that he played more than 1000 people passed him but only a few people stopped to listen, most of whom were children.
Joshua Bell 
 He has three children born by a former girlfriend, however married another woman on 5th October 2019.
Elastic modulus 
 An elastic modulus, or modulus of elasticity, is the mathematical description of an object or substance's tendency to be deformed elastically (i.e. non-permanently) when a force is applied to it.
Elastic modulus 
 The elastic modulus of an object is defined as the slope of its stress-strain curve in the elastic deformation region:
Elastic modulus 
 where λ is the elastic modulus; stress is the force that causes the deformation divided by the area to which the force is applied; and strain is the ratio of the change caused by the stress to the original state of the object.
Elastic modulus 
 If one specifies how stress and strain are to be measured, that allows for many types of elastic moduli to be defined.
ISO 3166-1 
 It gives a code for the names of countries and dependent territories, and is published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
ISO 3166-1 
 The official name of the standard is Codes for the representation of names of countries and their subdivisions – Part 1: Country codes.
ISO 3166-1 
 ISO 3166-1 alpha-2, a two-letter system, used in many applications, for example internet country code top-level domains (ccTLDs).
ISO 3166-1 
 Many international organizations use their own country codes, where some of them closely correspond to the ISO 3166-1 codes.
ISO 3166-1 
 The only way to enter a new country name into ISO 3166-1 is to have it registered in one of the following two sources:
ISO 3166-1 
 Once a country name or territory name appears in either of these two sources, it will be added to ISO 3166-1 by default.
ISO 3166-1 
 The following is a complete ISO 3166-1 encoding code list in alphabetical order by the English short country names officially used by the ISO 3166 Maintenance Agency (ISO 3166/MA), which uses country names from United Nations sources.
ISO 3166-1 
 Besides the officially assigned codes, code elements may be expanded by using either reserved codes or user-assigned codes.
ISO 3166-1 
 Reserved code elements are codes which, while not ISO 3166-1 codes, are in use for some applications in conjunction with the ISO 3166 codes.
ISO 3166-1 
 Usually, obsolete codes may be kept as reserved, while some overseas territories, international organizations, and special nationality status have reserved codes of their own.
ISO 3166-1 
 See the corresponding sections in ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 and ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 for their respective reserved codes (ISO 3166-1 numeric does not have reserved codes).
ISO 3166-1 
 User-assigned code elements are codes at the disposal of users who need to add further names of countries, territories or other geographical entities to their in-house application of ISO 3166-1, and the ISO 3166/MA will never use them in the updating process of the standard.
ISO 3166-1 
 See the corresponding sections in ISO 3166-1 alpha-2, ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 and ISO 3166-1 numeric for their respective user-assigned codes.
ISO 3166-1 
 A country generally gets new alphabetical codes if its name changes, whereas a new numeric code is associated with a change of boundaries.
ISO 3166-1 
 Changes to ISO 3166-1 are announced in periodic newsletters, of which 12 have been released since the first edition of ISO 3166-1 was published in 1997:
ISO 3166-1 
 Newsletter V-5  – Published 2002-05-20: change of names and alphabetical code elements for East Timor
ISO 3166-1 
 Newsletter V-12  – Published 2006-09-26: deletion of Serbia and Montenegro, new entries for Montenegro and Serbia
ISO 3166-1 
 The second edition of ISO 3166-1 was published in 2007, which comprises a consolidation of all changes to the lists as published in the newsletters above.

Lira da braccio 
 Italian poet-musicians in court in the 15th and 16th centuries often played it to accompany the poems they were reading.
Lira da braccio 
 Changes continued to be made to the way the lira da braccio was made until the end of the 16th century.
Lira da braccio 
 It usually had seven strings, five of them tuned like a violin with a low D added to the bottom, and two other strings for drones.
Lira da braccio 
 It is likely that the player often played the tune on the top strings and chords on the lower strings.
Lira da braccio 
 Later, in the 16th century, the madrigal became very popular and also the violin, so the lira da braccio was used less.

Flag of Dominican Republic 
 The Dominican Constitution says that the flag of the Dominican Republic has a white cross in the centre; the arms of the cross get to the sides of the flag and divides the flag into four rectangles —the left rectangles are blue (top) and red (bottom), and the right ones are red (top) and blue (bottom).
Flag of Dominican Republic 
 The National Flag, like the state and war flags of other Latin American countries, has a small coat of arms in the centre of the white cross but there is not a coat of arms in the ensign (the flag used by commercial ships).
Flag of Dominican Republic 
 The Dominican flag was created the first day of Independence (27 February 1844); it was created from the Haitian flag but with a white cross; that is, two blue rectangles on the top and two red rectangles on the bottom.
Flag of Dominican Republic 
 The first Dominican Constitution of 6 November 1844 did not say anything about the distribution of the rectangles but from the start the flag was represented with alternation of the colors (that is, blue and red on top and red and blue on bottom); this is the Second National Flag.

Body mass index 
 The body mass index (or BMI) is a measure which shows whether people have the right weight for their height.
Body mass index 
 He wrote that governments should measure the BMI of adults to find out whether they are too fat or too thin.
Body mass index 
 Health organisations, including the World Health Organisation (WHO), use the BMI to help decide whether people are too fat or too thin.
Body mass index 
 Some experts think the Overweight range for people with Asian body types should be 23–27.49, not 25–29.99.
Body mass index 
 For example, in the United States in 2007, 74% of adults had a BMI above 25 (Overweight or Obese) and 27% of adults had a BMI above 30 (Obese).
