![]() Mitochondria, the organelles that process food into energy, evolved from these mutually beneficial relationships. Something revolutionary happened as microbes began living inside other microbes, functioning as organelles for them. Microbes are just single cells with no organelles and no nuclei to package their DNA. Animal bodies have various cells –skin, blood, bone – which contain organelles, each doing a distinct job. While they can process lots of chemicals, microbes did not have the specialized cells that are needed for complex bodies. However, other innovations were occurring. So, the ocean was still not a suitable environment for most lifeforms that need ample oxygen. In fact, as cyanobacteria died and drifted down through the water, the decomposition of their bodies probably reduced oxygen levels. Rocks dating to after the event do not have iron bands, showing that oxygen was now in the picture.Īfter the initial pulse of oxygen, it stabilized at lower levels where it would remain for a couple billion years more. Rocks dating to before the event are striped with bands of iron. When oxygen is around, iron reacts chemically with it (it gets oxidized) and gets removed from the system. This catalyzed a sudden, dramatic rise in oxygen, making the environment less hospitable for other microbes that could not tolerate oxygen.Įvidence for this Great Oxidation Event is recorded in changes in seafloor rocks. They became Earth’s first photo-synthesizers, making food using water and the Sun’s energy, and releasing oxygen as a result. ![]() When cyanobacteria evolved at least 2.4 billion years ago, they set the stage for a remarkable transformation. Scientists study today’s, rare living stromatolite reefs to better understand Earth’s earliest life forms. Minerals precipitate inside the layers, creating durable structures even as the microbes die off. Stromatolites are created as sticky mats of microbes trap and bind sediments into layers. The signals consisted of a type of carbon molecule that is produced by living things.Įvidence of microbes was also preserved in the hard structures (“stromatolites”) they made, which date to 3.5 billion years ago. ![]() The earliest life forms we know of were microscopic organisms (microbes) that left signals of their presence in rocks about 3.7 billion years old. With an environment devoid of oxygen and high in methane, for much of its history Earth would not have been a welcoming place for animals. But that’s not how life on Earth used to be. These and other animals require oxygen to extract energy from their food. ![]() Our ecosystems are structured by feeding relationships like killer whales eating seals, which eat squid, which feed on krill. Today we take for granted that we live among diverse communities of animals that feed on each other. ![]()

Shout it out trumpet sheet music7/4/2023 ![]() I had been performing playing trumpet professionally with so many bands for so many years. For so many years I never thought my music would be heard. I wrote so many songs alone that never were shown to hardly anyone, for the therapy of it. I went through tumultuous times in my personal life, so many non-creative jobs, all while writing music to myself, by myself, for myself. I came completely out of my shell, invigorated by the audience, sometimes playing improvised solos for crowds of 5,000 people. Then I toured for 2 years with 2 different bands, and learned to be a performer. For a while I was a decent player but my stage presence when I first arrived in LA was that of a scared deer, curled into myself. I have been playing trumpet for 20 years now, since I was 9. The last 8 years have been such a learning process. I left my family home and moved to Los Angeles abruptly in 2013. Every thing that has happened has led me here. This project couldn’t have happened any sooner, it had to be exactly now, in this exact way, and even this exact time in the history of the world. ![]() I never thought I would get here, having built this project from a seed of an idea.

Color me badd lead singer7/4/2023 ![]() ![]() Over time they have gone through many personnel changes with new people joining to replace departing members of the group. They officially disbanded in 1998 but in 2010 Bryan Abrams, Mark Calderon, and Kevin Thornton came together, reunited, and continued to perform as Color Me Badd. Sam Watters went into music production and was successful with people like Jessica Simpson and Celine Dion among others. Leaving Sam Watters, Bryan Abrams, and Mark Calderon, Watters wanted to start his own solo career which he did successfully while the other two are the only members of the band who are still together. This was only compounded by Thornton getting married and choosing to become a minister, hence leaving the band. When Abrams’ problems with drinking started to affect the group, they slowly started to drift apart. Tim Higgins who was the original lead singer left the group to join the army. Throughout the course of their existence, some members of the band had exited the group while at a point the group disbanded. Color Me Badd Members On Stage Where Are The Band Members Now? They have won several awards including Soul Train Music Awards and have had their songs featured in several movies. The group has since gone on to sell sold over 12 million records worldwide and recorded some number 1 hit singles. They went on to release three more albums to commercial success Time and Chance in 1993, Now & Forever in 1996, and Awakening in 1998. The latter was the multicultural song they made off the advice given to them by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. In 1991, they released their debut album, C.M.B with their hit singles I Wanna Sex You Up and I Adore Mi Amore. They were told to make a multicultural song and with this song Color Me Badd bagged their first record label deal and got signed to Giant Records after the Giant Record executive Cassandra Mills heard a tape of the band singing the song. Their audition for the duo was the most successful one yet as Jam and Lewis gave them advice on a song to make. In 1990 when they had started living in New York, one night after performing at the ASCAP Music Awards they met Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, a record-producing duo who are known for being a huge addition to the career of Janet Jackson. These pop-up auditions were done for three other musical arts but when they performed for Jon Bon Jovi, he had them perform as his opening act for an audience twenty thousand strong.įour years after the Color Me Badd’s creation they decided to leave Oklahoma City to New York, where they continued auditioning for different people. Their plan worked as Bell was so impressed that he introduced the group to Adil Bayyan who worked as his road manager. The first person they had the opportunity to do this for was Robert Bell who was a member of the group, Kool & the Gang. The plan was to put on a performance for any major star who would be performing in Oklahoma City. The first thing all four of them planned to do was to do pop up auditions. They realized that they needed a kick in the right direction to jumpstart the career they wanted in music. Their first performance as a group was at a talent hunt in their school. Apparently, because of this, there was no need for auditions. ![]() The boys already knew each of them could sing as they were all part of the school choir. The four of them met while they were all in high school at Northwest Classen High school which is located in Oklahoma City. The Color Me Badd band was created in 1985 by the joint efforts of Kevin Thornton, Bryan Abrams, Tim Higgins, Mark Calderon, and Sam Watters who became the band members. ![]() The Rise Of ‘Color Me Badd Color Me Badd (Image Source) ![]()

Access the following directories and clear out Sophos-related items and folders:.In Finder, hold Shift-Command-G to open Go to the folder window.Locate Sophos Home.app and Remove Sophos Home.app.However, if you have your reasons not to trust the uninstaller you can force remove the application from OSX piece by piece. How to Uninstall Sophos Antivirus ManuallyĪs said above, Sophos antivirus software can be reliably removed from your Mac with the help of its removal tool. It is reliable and safe to use, however, just for the sake of giving you another option, you can also perform the manual uninstall of Sophos software. Sophos removal tool deals with the job perfectly well and erases all traces of the Sophos Home application from your Mac. Follow on-screen instructions to completely uninstall Sophos.Locate Remove Sophos Home.app and open it.To get rid of Sophos Home application on your Mac, follow these steps after removing the device from your Sophos account: Fortunately, in the case with Sophos, the developer provides an uninstaller which significantly simplifies the process of pulling the plug on the Sophos services. When an extra piece of software, even if it’s an antivirus, becomes a liability, completely uninstalling it from your computer is usually the way to go. How to Delete Sophos with Sophos Uninstall Tool Thus, your Mac will no longer be connected to the Sophos Home account, yet, Sophos software will continue to protect your Mac until it is uninstalled. In your Sophos Home account, click on Remove.Click on the Ellipsis icon and select Preferences.On your Mac computer, hit the Sophos icon in the Menu bar.Whatever the reason, here is how you can remove your Mac device from your Sophos Home account. With that in mind, it’s not uncommon for users to want to keep using Sophos on their PC, but to disable the protection on their Mac due to either little need in antivirus on a Mac, or assumed negative impact on performance. Sophos Home allows for multiple devices to be managed using the same account regardless of them being PC or Mac. After registering an account, you can download a free client, which comes with a 30-day trial, and install it on your Mac. Sophos Home is a cloud-based antivirus application which comes in both free and paid-for premium versions. But how do you securely and entirely remove Sophos in case, say, you find it using to much of your Mac’s memory and CPU? Let’s figure it out. It is well respected for reducing the likelihood of macOS being compromised by a virus. Sophos, being one of many, is known to be a popular answer to the problem. Despite the commonly known fact that Mac computers are far less susceptible to virus attacks than Windows ones, many still prefer adding an extra layer of protection by installing antivirus software. Overestimating the importance of security is a task hardly accomplishable even more so, when the safety of personal and, possibly, professional data is concerned. ![]()

The large number of supplementary problems with answers serve as a complete review of the material of each chapter. Numerous proofs of theorems and derivations of basic results are included in the solved problems. The solved problems serve to illustrate and amplify the theory, bring into sharp focus those fine points without which the student continually feels himself on unsafe ground, and provide the repetition of basic principles so vital to effective learning.

The book is designed for use either as a supplement to all current standard textbooks or as a textbook for a formal course in mechanics. It is the purpose of this book to present an account of Newtonian mechanics and its applications. For this reason it has maintained its fundamental importance in science and engineering. For objects which move with speeds much less than that of light and which have dimensions large compared with those of atoms and molecules Newtonian mechanics, also called classical mechanics, is nevertheless quite satisfactory. These discrepancies led to Einstein's relativistic mechanics which revolutionized the concepts of space and time, and to quantum mechanics. These remarkably simple laws served to describe and predict the motions of observable objects in the universe, including those of the planets of our solar system.Įarly in the 20th century it was discovered that various theoretical conclusions derived from Newton's laws were not in accord with certain conclusions deduced from theories of electromagnetism and atomic phenomena which were equally well founded experimentally.
