An amazing series of science videos, “The Unbroken Thread” is the fourth video in the Symphony of Science series, and it features David Attenborough, Jane Goodall, and Carl Sagan. The themes presented in The Unbroken Thread attempt to explore the wild diversity of life on our planet, the intricacy and origin of its mechanisms, and its close relation to all other life forms.
As always enjoy, and share the Symphony of Science!
Lyrics:
[David Attenborough]
All life is related
And it enables us to construct with confidence
The complex tree that represents the history of life
Our planet, the Earth, is as far as we know
Unique in the universe; it contains life
Here plants and animals proliferate in such numbers
That we still have not even named all the different species
Darwin’s great insight revolutionized the way in which we see the world
We now understand why there are so many different species
[Carl Sagan]
Every cell is a triumph of natural selection
And we’re made of trillions of cells (Within us is a little universe)
Those are some of the things that molecules do
Given four billions years of evolution (We are, each of us, a multitude)
Now how did the molecules of life arise?
[Attenborough]
It began in the sea
Some 3 thousand million years ago
Complex chemical molecules began to clump together
These were the “seeds”
From which the tree of life developed
They were able to split, replicating themselves
As bacteria do
[Sagan]
The secrets of evolution
Are time and death
There’s an unbroken thread that stretches
From those first cells to us
(refrain)
[Jane Goodall]
There isn’t a sharp line dividing humans
from the rest of the animal kingdom
It’s a very wuzzie line
It’s a very wuzzie line,
and it’s getting wuzzier
All the time
We find animals doing things that we,
In our arrogance,
Used to think was “just human”
(refrain)
[Attenborough]
Its continued survival now rests in our hands
I’m a private pilot and I’m interested to take up an online pilot training course.
I’ve come across privatepilotdvd at private pilot training as well as jeppeson flight school.
Which is better? If I want to take up a helicopter pilot training course in future, which is more suitable?

Search engine rankings are never really all that surprising. Google is always first, Yahoo! is always second and Bing comes in third every month, without fail. Sometimes Yahoo! or Bing will rise or fall just a little bit and one will have the benefit of the other’s loss, however it’s never a massive drop.
January’s rankings were also on the same lines. Google came first, Yahoo! came second and Microsoft came third, experiencing a small gain over the previous month. However, in a most unusual turn of events Microsoft gained at the expense of Google for the first time.
Based on ComScore (via CNet), Google’s dominant share of the search market slipped by 0.3 percentage points to 65.4 percent of all searches conducted in the U.S. As a result, Bing increased by 0.6 percentage points to 11.3 percent of all searches. Yahoo! lost another 0.3 percent, dropping to 17 percent of all searches.
Microsoft Bing has experienced almost consistent growth since it launched last May, rising from 8.4 percent in June to its current 11.3 percent. Bill Gates once told the press that the search engine created by microsoft is the best product till date created by Microsoft. Hope that turns out true. People are already fascinated by the interface provided by Bing.
