charles darwin was one of them and the time to go and recently has confirmed and numerous and regular sidings of what they call an identified area phenomena. i wonder what do you make of it? can we add an interesting as we may seem to you, do you fully exclude a possibility of sparking some interest in higher civilizations? no, i don't exclude that. then i do think that everybody should guide us rather than prejudice . there is a tendency, arguing about the subject rather than paying attention to evidence. now, the pentagon report will release some data, but it will not release all the data that it has. and, and i think the bottom line is that there are some objects whose nature is not fully understood. been that the real and my take on it is that we should then follow on these reports with the same experiment. basically deploy the best cameras that we have on whitefield telescopes, that money toward the sky in the same locations and collect open data and clear up the full, you know, the purpose of science is not the to stand to the side, the suspect they are, but rather clarified, an

for example, charles darwin's famous voyage with the beagle. there was no naturalist at least a trained naturalist on the voyage along with wilkes and his men but there was an understanding that part of the expedition was to catalog. all kinds of is that we're seeing and so artifacts and plants both living and dried. we're we're collected during the four-year expedition between 1838 and 1842. and in fact, they collected close to 10,000 dried plant specimens, which had their own wonderful history and became a part of the nucleus collection of the national herbarium, which is housed within the smithsonian. and also they collected over 100 about 150 living plants and it's quite amazing. these plants survived a four-year journey across many many different climates a wide variety of latitudes and made their way back to the harbors and the eastern united states where their value was quite instantly recognized by congress and so upon the return of the wilkes expedition the us exploring expedition in 1842 congress immediately sought to protect these pl

this was something charles darwin really tried to avoid. he's like okay i've got this theory of evolution but i don't want to go there. it's too much and too complicated and we don't know enough about it. things have changed tremendously since then in that there are we know first of all there's much more about the chemical nature of life. we know more about the fossil record of life so there's fossils of microbes going back over three and a half billion years and there's a lot of really beautiful research going on and laboratory experiments looking for a sort of plausible pathway. how could you go from the raw material of the earth to living things. that doesn't mean how life began here is the only way that it can start. i would focus on one the scientists that i've reported on for decades now. he's convinced that it began on volcanic islands a little bit of what darwin speculated on but in a more sophisticated elaborate thing. other people are convinced that it's happening at the bottom of the ocean in these chemical gardens. it's fascinat

in the pickwick papers charles darwin describes a fictional but entirely credible conversation between two medical students on a frosty christmas morning. have you finished the leg yet asked benjamin allen nearly replies his colleague bob sawyer. it's a very muscular one for a child's nothing like dissecting to give one an appetite. as medical students became desensitized. they also became irreverent much to the public's horror. now these images these are late 19th century dissection photos. there's a fantastic book out there. that is just a collection of these photos, of course photography was new and the students had fun with it needless to say, so if that interests you just google, you know, late 19th century dissection photos pranks in the as one does right? everybody. does that pranks in the dissection room were so common that by the time lister entered medical school. they had become a mark of the profession harper's new monthly magazine condemned the jet black humor and indifference towards the dead that pervaded the dissection room. some students completely overstepped the boun

host better, to get to see immunity against it, the natural selection principles laid out by charles darwint variants that are more fit will emerge, particularly in the u.s. we cannot look past that, because we have the unvaccinated and the vaccinated. in many places, the unvaccinated are larger than the vaccinated populations. that just sets up a situation where the virus can see immunity, can go into people who don't have immunity, and that back and forth is essentially how my laboratory selects variants when we are studying them. we are starting them in the population and that's not a good thing for us to be doing. >> you bring in darwinian choices. the virus wants to survive and thrive. a large part of that means not killing its victims, right? previously, we have seen these viruses mutate into less fatal disease causes. is that the case to you think as well with covid-19? >> this is where research is going to be incredibly important, because we have essentially protected a good portion of the population that are suffering from very severe disease. now, we are looking in the parts of th

we've got contemporaries karl marx frederick engels thomas carlisle the philosopher in scotland charles darwin and in the bottom row, of course henry david thoreau. john muir horace, greeley margaret fuller charles dickens and harriet beecher stowe olmsted was involved in putnam's monthly donation the new york daily times and a publication called gardening forests and books on his travels. he wrote about england and the antibellum american south as well as being a correspondent with andrew jackson downing when voxers working with him prior to downey's death. olmsted was uniquely prepared to tackle social issues and urban improvement through physical design. that's a common place to remark that his parks are derived from 18th century english landscape park such as these two designed by capability brown landslaught capability brown blenheim parker near oxford has shown on the left and longley in southwest salisbury near near wiltshire is on the right and here these are characterized by vast swas of meadow and pasture with livestock, you know, sheep and cattle undulating water bodies and likes gr

like charles darwin never imagined this.akes place overnight. >> we closed all of our 800 plus stores, which immediately put us into a situation where we had hundreds of millions of dollars trapped in inventory in stores and while we could do ship from store, we didn't have an ability to access the product for consumers in the market. so thanks to a long-time investment in technology where we were able to really get our platforms ready for such a crisis that we were not anticipating, we were able to spin up this curbside pickup in less than two days it worked and people started to adopt it and really changed the trajectory of our business it was really great, but it wasn't just a short-term evolution. i want to say it was years and years of planning for the unexpected that we did not know was coming >> although when you started talking about curbside pickup at the stores, didn't your team tell you it would take something like 18 months to get it up and running? >> yes yes. i think that's the other lesson that we learned from
