"I walk slowly, but I never walk backward. " ~Abraham Lincoln (It's his 200th birthday too.)
It's also my little sister, Elisa's birthday (much less than her 200th) Happy Birthday, El we miss you!
How about a bit of music? KoRn's Evolution!
"me...
It's evolution!
Just evolution!
And I, I do not dare deny
the basic beast inside;
it's right here,
it's controlling my mind!
And why do I deserve to die?
I'm dominated by
this animal that's locked up inside!"

I wrote this book as a companion volume for a 2001 PBS television series. In 2006, it was reissued with a new introduction. It's a both a history and an introduction to evolution. I investigate the rise of complex life, the role of mass extinctions, the evolution of sex, the arms race between parasites and their hosts, and lots of other stuff. Scientific American called it "as fine a book as one will find on this subject." Amazon page.
The evolution of New Gotham.
First built in 2008 the city at that time contained a City Hall (beige building on left) and a modernist skyscraper. Flanked by the Twin Towers it also had an elevated railway, working traffic lights and a cable car. The cable car was removed later that year and a monorail added along with the Chrysler Building Spire (thanks to Sean Kenney and Spencer Rezkella for their respective designs).
In 2011 the Twin Towers were removed and the city took on a more cluttered appearance. The monorail came back as did a subway.
By 2014 the towers were back along with some of the Lego official modular sets. In 2015 a few custom structures took centre stage.
In 2016 the city was at its largest. The Twin Towers were the focal point of the skyline but the real impact was the cluster of art deco inspired buildings (my own personal favourite being the blue). The city was divided into two districts; Downtown and Midtown. Downtown was home to the micro scale skyscrapers. Midtown - the official minifig scale sets.
This version of the city was taken apart in early 2017 and the project was shelved. In July 2017 the city underwent some rebuilding. The Twin Towers were replaced with a single modernist skyscraper and the city moved from mostly microscale to minifig. The blue art deco building was also increased in height and the Chrysler Building took centre stage. An elevated railway now sits in the middle of the city, as it did in 2008 and there are plans to build more by the river.
Putting this in due to my love of double-exposure images and wanting to try my hand at one of them again. Also I felt like this project needed another pretty/ not quite so heavily conceptual image, although there is meaning behind this one.
For me, I kind of feel like this is a representation of what college is supposed to do to you...you're supposed to expand your mind/ grow as a human being/ broaden your horizons or whatever. Sometimes I feel like all I've grown up there are weeds, but like, pretty weeds, you know? The kind with flowers that look really nice but are completely useless/ invasive/ not what you really intended to grow but there they are so might as well let them stay.
Cactuses were not the way they were. This is a short tale about evolution.
Under the glaring sun, mr cactus bears the intensity of a large matter known as sun. His fierce determination to survive compelled him to think fervently how to preserve his own water content despite sweating. He puts on his thinking cap.
"where do i start sweating?"
He glances across his home, the desert horizons. Then he saw a mirage. He thought he was near the brink of death. He rubbed his eyes, but his suspicions were proved wrong. There was indeed a small body of water shimmering under the relentless sun. Out of nowhere, there were two sticks that formed two pathways for the water to flow.
One stick had a large hole and practically hollow, the other had a hole so small just enough for a teeny weeny needle to pass through.The water touched both sticks, immediately, it flowed into two sections, carving 2 separate pathways through the stick holes. In the end, water was waiting for its remaining "soul" to return from the stick with a smaller hole.
Mr Cactus was stuck with an idea. Immediately, he knew that the stomata on big broad leaves was the factor which was sapping all his water off.
He concentrated with all his might. "Push, smaller, tinier, focus."
Tada, his leaves became spines, this way he transpired slower. He did it with a little help of nature. :)
The news is... I am also in "the evolution of get lucky" on youtube (1930-1940 style) Have a look : www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4z66VzcvO0

Utilizei fotos da internet para ilustrar esta filogenia e como são muitas, fica complicado dar todas as referências, mas não é difícil de consegui-las...basta isolar a imagem e arrastar para o Google imagens e serão localizadas. Esta publicação não tem fins lucrativos, apenas procuro trazer informação para os internautas, simples divulgação de conhecimentos.
ERRATA : Na figura Platyhelminthes ficou sem o "Y".
