text: The CDT represented the penultimate hike of the 12 Long Walks series.. I began my journey at Waterton Lake on the US/Canadian border on August 3. I reached Mexico some 74 days later on October 15.. In regards to conditions, I had a relatively mellow run with the weather all the way down to Colorado, where not surprisingly I encountered some late season storms in the Rockies.. The gear I carried was almost identical to to the kit I packed on the Pacific Crest Trail.. If I was to hike the CDT again in 2016, what would I change?. Nothing too much. Tweaks, rather than seismic shifts:. - Shelter: I’d.. If I was heading northbound in an average snow year, I would also consider adding Kahtoola microspikes and/or a CAMP Corsa ice axe for the San Juans section in Colorado.

Lesson: How to Write a Short Story
Introduction:
Writing a short story can be a fun and rewarding experience. In this lesson, we will explore the basics of writing a short story, including setting, characters, plot, and theme. We will also discuss how to create a compelling story that captures the reader's attention and keeps them engaged.
Section 1: Setting
The setting is the location and time period in which the story takes place. It can be a real or imaginary place, and it should be described in enough detail to allow the reader to visualize it. When choosing a setting, consider the mood and tone of the story. For example, a dark and stormy night might be appropriate for a suspenseful story, while a bright and sunny day might be better suited for a lighthearted comedy.
Section 2: Characters
Characters are the people (or animals or even objects) who inhabit the story. They should be fully realized, with unique personalities, motivations, and backstories. When creating characters, consider their relationships with each other and how they interact with the setting and plot.
Section 3: Plot
The plot is the series of events that make up the story. It should have a beginning, middle, and end, and should be structured in a way that keeps the reader engaged. The plot should have conflict, which can be internal (e.g., a character's struggle with their emotions) or external (e.g., a character's struggle with another character or situation). The resolution of the conflict should be satisfying and believable.
Section 4: Theme
The theme is the underlying message or meaning of the story. It can be implicit (revealed through the events of the story) or explicit (stated directly by the author). When writing a short story, consider what you want the reader to take away from it. What message do you want to convey?
Conclusion:
In summary, writing a short story involves creating a setting, characters, plot, and theme. By carefully crafting these elements, you can create a compelling and engaging story that will captivate your readers. Remember to be creative, be specific, and be true to yourself.
Glossary:
Setting: The location and time period in which the story takes place.
Character: A person, animal, or object that inhabits the story.
Plot: The series of events that make up the story.
Theme: The underlying message or meaning of the story.


text: From 1977: Marvel's done-in-one adaptation of the movie THE DEEP.. The movie was adapted from the novel by Peter Benchley, starred Robert Shaw and was set in the sea... so it came with JAWS-sized expectations of a runaway blockbuster.. Presumably that expectation, and the opening scene, propelled it to becoming the 8th higest grossing movie in the States that year. Having seen the movie far more recently, I can report that lightning did not strike the ocean twice and this was - in fact - no Jaws.. Maybe so but JAWS didn't have the sight of Jackie Bisset in underwater mode, a true beauty of the deep. ( ahem ). The art is somewhat florid and misleading as the creature is just a conger eel and not the giant sea serpent as drawn here. The inbox also promises a Tarzan style grapple which never occurs in the movie.

Lesson: Introduction to Adaptations

**Introduction:** An adaptation is a type of literary work that is created from another piece of literature. It can be in the form of a movie, play, or even a graphic novel. In this lesson, we will explore the process of adapting a book into a movie and discuss the differences between the two.

**Theory:** When a book is adapted into a movie, there are several steps that must be taken to ensure that the final product is faithful to the original work. These steps include selecting the right director, screenwriter, and actors, as well as finding the right location to film the movie.

**Practice:** Let's take a look at an example of a book adaptation. The book "Jaws" by Peter Benchley was adapted into a movie in 1975. The movie was directed by Steven Spielberg and starred Roy Scheider, Robert Shaw, and Richard Dreyfuss. The movie was a huge success, grossing over $400 million worldwide.

**Glossary:**
- Adaptation: A type of literary work that is created from another piece of literature.
- Book: A written work of fiction or non-fiction.
- Movie: A visual art form that tells a story through moving images and sound.
- Screenplay: A written version of a movie or play.
- Director: A person who is in charge of the creative aspects of a movie or play.
- Actors: People who perform in a movie or play.
- Location: The place where a movie or play is filmed.

**Conclusion:** In conclusion, adaptations are an important part of the literary world. They allow readers to experience their favorite books in a new way, while also introducing the story to a new audience. By understanding the process of adaptation, we can appreciate the hard work and dedication that goes into creating a successful movie or play.


text: <<. It took me quite some time to phase out Whatsapp, since a lot of friends of mine are (still) using it. This phenomenon is called "vendor lock-in". Now I will that same issue with Signal, since the systems are not interoperable, but at least I'm now using a secure and privacy aware system. The company behind Signal ( Open Whisper Systems ) has an extremely good track record of practicing what you preach, so my data (and privacy) are not abused or misused.. Since Whatsapp got acquired by Facebook, they made quite some "evil" decisions, such as mining (and aggregating) your Whatsapp and your Facebook data. Since they are a company who wants to make a profit using your data, it was to be expected. Facebook (and thus Whatsapp) make money on a per user basis, by using and selling your personal data (or a derivative thereof). So I made the concious decision not be a part of that ecosystem anymore. The first step now, was migrating away from Whatsapp. More will follow.

# Lesson: Vendor Lock-In
## Introduction
Vendor lock-in is a situation where a customer becomes dependent on a vendor's products or services, making it difficult for the customer to switch to another vendor's products or services. In this lesson, we will learn about vendor lock-in, its effects, and ways to avoid it.
## Section 1: What is Vendor Lock-In?
Vendor lock-in occurs when a customer becomes dependent on a vendor's products or services to the extent that switching to another vendor's products or services becomes difficult or expensive. This can happen due to several reasons, including proprietary technology, exclusive access to certain resources, or the high cost of switching.
## Section 2: Effects of Vendor Lock-In
The effects of vendor lock-in can be significant. Customers may become trapped in a cycle of dependency, where they are forced to continue using a vendor's products or services even if they are dissatisfied or if better alternatives exist. This can lead to a lack of competition and innovation in the market, as well as higher costs for customers.
## Section 3: Ways to Avoid Vendor Lock-In
There are several ways to avoid vendor lock-in. One approach is to use open-source software, which is freely available and can be modified or replaced without any restrictions. Another approach is to use standardized technologies and protocols that are widely adopted and supported by multiple vendors. Additionally, customers can create a contingency plan in case of a vendor lock-in, including identifying alternative vendors and conducting regular evaluations of their products or services.
## Section 4: Practical Examples
A practical example of vendor lock-in can be seen in the smartphone industry. Many smartphones use proprietary chargers and cables, making it difficult for customers to switch to a different brand without purchasing new chargers and cables. Similarly, many software companies use proprietary file formats, making it difficult for customers to switch to a different software without losing their data.
## Conclusion
Vendor lock-in can be a significant issue for customers, as it can limit their ability to choose the best products or services for their needs. By understanding the concept of vendor lock-in and taking steps to avoid it, customers can protect their interests and promote competition and innovation in the market.
## Glossary
- Vendor Lock-In: A situation where a customer becomes dependent on a vendor's products or services, making it difficult for the customer to switch to another vendor's products or services.
- Proprietary Technology: Technology that is owned and controlled by a single vendor, making it difficult for customers to switch to a different vendor's products or services.
- Standardized Technologies: Technologies and protocols that are widely adopted and supported by multiple vendors, reducing the risk of vendor lock-in.
## Self-Debate Discussion
- How can customers ensure that they are not falling victim to vendor lock-in?
- Are there any risks associated with using open-source software?
- Can customers ever truly avoid vendor lock-in, or is it always a risk when using technology?

Motor/generators used in hybrid powertrains typically require that three phase alternating current be fed to the stator windings of the stator. A power inverter includes switches that are moved between on and off positions to pulse the voltage to approximate a desired waveform, separately for each of the three windings. The motor/generator acts as a low pass filter of sorts, to filter the pulsed voltage waveform resulting in an essentially sinusoidal current waveform with small ripple component superimposed. The frequency of the switching can be modified, and the voltage can be held on for different time intervals, and/or the voltage can be held off for different time intervals to implement the desired modulation type (e.g., discontinuous pulse width modulated (DPWM), continuous pulse width modulated (CPWM), etc.).
Inverter switching losses are a significant percentage of the total energy losses for a hybrid electric vehicle. By decreasing the switching frequency, switching energy losses are decreased. However, as switching frequency decreases, the switching noise is generally considered to be more audible, whereas as switching frequency increases, the switching noise is generally considered to be less audible. Inverter control strategies have included masking the noise of the switching, such as at low frequencies, by ensuring that background noise is at a relatively high level. This has been done by limiting low frequency switching to periods when operating characteristics of the motor/generator, such as motor/generator torque level or motor/generator speed level, will ensure sufficient masking of the switching noise.
DPWM can provide essentially sinusoidal current waveforms while simultaneously minimizing inverter switching losses. This is achieved by adding an appropriate zero sequence voltage to each of the inverter phases, while maintaining essentially sinusoidally-shaped line-to-line voltage excitation to the motor/generator. The zero sequence voltage is selected such that each of the inverter phases will be saturated at either 0 or 100 percent duty cycle for one third of the motor fundamental electrical period. Switching losses for a particular phase are eliminated when operating with the 0 or 100 percent duty cycle. The resultant DPWM waveforms employ a single zero vector for each PWM period, as opposed to the two distinct zero vectors used for CPWM implementations. Accordingly, a DPWM waveform, with its less frequent switching, is generally noisier than a CPWM waveform with its more frequent switching. The DPWM type of waveform tends to minimize inverter switching losses while increasing current ripple and acoustic noise as compared with a CPWM type of waveform.

In this lesson, we will learn about the role of a guide and outfitter. We will explore the history of Tommy Walker, who was a well-known guide and outfitter in British Columbia, Canada. We will also discuss the importance of guides and outfitters in the tourism industry and their contribution to conservation efforts.

## Section 1: Introduction to Tommy Walker

Tommy Walker was born in Gravesend, England in 1904. He studied brewing and worked in the grain importing business before immigrating to British Columbia in 1929. He settled at Stuie in the Coast Mountains, where he cleared a farm, became a guide, and trapper. He also operated a sport fishing resort called Stuie (now Tweedsmuir) Lodge.

## Section 2: The Role of Guides and Outfitters

Guides and outfitters play a crucial role in the tourism industry. They provide visitors with information about the natural environment and help them enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking, fishing, and hunting. Guides and outfitters also contribute to conservation efforts by promoting responsible tourism practices and educating visitors about the importance of protecting natural resources.

## Section 3: The Importance of Conservation Efforts

Conservation efforts are essential to ensure that natural resources are available for future generations. Guides and outfitters play a vital role in promoting conservation by educating visitors about the importance of responsible tourism practices. They also contribute to conservation efforts by supporting initiatives such as the creation of provincial parks like Tweedsmuir Park, which was established in 1937 with the help of Tommy Walker and other local guides and outfitters.

## Section 4: Practical Examples

One practical example of conservation efforts is the implementation of catch and release fishing practices. This practice involves releasing fish back into the water after they have been caught, rather than keeping them as a trophy. This helps to maintain healthy fish populations and ensures that future generations can enjoy the sport of fishing.

Another example is the use of eco-friendly accommodations such as glamping (glamorous camping) tents. These tents are designed to minimize environmental impact while providing visitors with a comfortable and luxurious experience.

## Glossary
- Guide: A person who leads travelers on tours, providing information about the natural environment and helping them enjoy outdoor activities.
- Outfitter: A person or company that provides equipment, supplies, and services for outdoor activities such as fishing, hunting, and hiking.
- Conservation: The preservation and protection of natural resources for future generations.
- Responsible tourism: Tourism practices that minimize negative impacts on the environment and maximize positive contributions to the destination.
- Catch and release: A fishing practice that involves releasing fish back into the water after they have been caught.
- Glamping: A type of camping that combines the comforts of home with the adventure of the great outdoors.

## Conclusion
In conclusion, guides and outfitters play a vital role in the tourism industry by providing visitors with information about the natural environment and helping them enjoy outdoor activities. They also contribute to conservation efforts by promoting responsible tourism practices and educating visitors about the importance of protecting natural resources. By understanding the role of guides and outfitters and the importance of conservation efforts, we can apply these skills to new problems and continue to enjoy the beauty of nature for generations to come.

Cyanobacteria as a biosorbent for mercuric ion.
The biosorption of Hg(2+) by two strains of cyanobacteria, Spirulina platensis and Aphanothece flocculosa, was studied under a batch stirred reaction system. Essential process parameters, including pH, biomass concentration, initial metal concentration, and presence of co-ions were shown to influence the Hg(2+) uptake. Hg(2+) uptake was optimal at pH 6.0 for both strains. The maximum loading capacities per gram of dry biomass were found to be 456 mg Hg(2+) for A. flocculosa and 428 mg Hg(2+) for S. platensis. At an initial concentration of 10 ppm Hg(2+), A. flocculosa was able to remove more than 98% of the mercury ion from solution. The biosorption kinetics of both strains showed that the metal uptake is bi-phasic, exhibiting a rapid initial uptake followed by a slower absorption process. The presence of dissolved Co(2+), Ni(2+), and Fe(3+) were found to play a synergistic role for Hg(2+) uptake by both strains. Regeneration of the biomass was examined by treating Hg(2+)-loaded samples with HCl and NH(4)Cl over four cycles of sorption and desorption.

Born equal? The distribution of government Medicare spending for children.
Providing equitable care is an objective of many national healthcare systems. Using the birth cohort of the nationally representative Longitudinal Study of Australian Children linked with the Medicare Benefits Scheme billing data who were recruited in 2004 at ages 0-1 years and assessed biennially for six waves, we assessed the distribution of out-of-hospital government Medicare spending by household income. 4853 children followed over 11 years were included in the study. Distributions of major spending components including general practitioner and specialist care were assessed using concentration indices. Trends in the inequalities as children grow were investigated. The results showed that after controlling for health care needs, total government Medicare spending over 0-11 years of age favoured the rich (concentration index 0.041). The Medicare spending for general practitioner care was equal (concentration index 0.005) while for specialist care and diagnostics and imaging were 'pro-rich' (concentration index 0.108 and 0.088 respectively). Children from poorer families were most disadvantaged when aged 0-1 years in specialist spending, and the disparity lessened as children approached adolescence. Our findings suggest that income-related inequalities exist in government Medicare spending particularly in the first few years of life. As early years of life are a critical window in childhood development and building block for future health, the results warrant further investigation and attention from policy makers.

Lesson: Understanding Health Inequalities

Introduction:
Health inequalities refer to differences in health outcomes between different groups of people within a society. These differences can be influenced by factors such as income, education, and access to healthcare. In this lesson, we will explore the concept of health inequalities and how they relate to government spending on healthcare.

Section 1: Understanding Health Inequalities

Topic 1: What are health inequalities?
- Health inequalities refer to differences in health outcomes between different groups of people within a society.
- These differences can be influenced by factors such as income, education, and access to healthcare.

Topic 2: Why do health inequalities matter?
- Health inequalities matter because they can lead to unfair and avoidable differences in health outcomes between different groups of people.
- Addressing health inequalities is important for promoting social justice and improving overall population health.

Section 2: Exploring Health Inequalities in Government Spending on Healthcare

Topic 1: How does government spending on healthcare contribute to health inequalities?
- Government spending on healthcare can contribute to health inequalities if it favors certain groups of people over others.
- For example, if the government spends more money on healthcare services for wealthy individuals than for low-income individuals, this could widen the gap in health outcomes between these two groups.

Topic 2: Analyzing Health Inequalities in Government Spending on Healthcare
- We can analyze health inequalities in government spending on healthcare by looking at how spending varies across different income groups.
- For instance, we can compare the amount of government spending on healthcare for low-income individuals compared to high-income individuals.

Section 3: Conclusion

In conclusion, understanding health inequalities and their relationship with government spending on healthcare is crucial for promoting social justice and improving overall population health. By analyzing how government spending on healthcare varies across different income groups, we can identify areas where health inequalities exist and work towards reducing them.

Glossary:
- Health inequalities: Differences in health outcomes between different groups of people within a society.
- Concentration index: A measure used to quantify the degree of inequality in the distribution of a particular variable.
- Medicare: A government-funded healthcare program for people aged 65 and older or those with certain disabilities.

Self-Debating Discussion:

Question: How might government spending on healthcare affect health outcomes for different income groups?
Answer: Government spending on healthcare can affect health outcomes for different income groups in several ways. For example, if the government spends more money on healthcare services for wealthy individuals than for low-income individuals, this could widen the gap in health outcomes between these two groups. Additionally, if the government prioritizes certain types of healthcare services for certain income groups, this could also contribute to health inequalities.

Lesson Title: Understanding Investments and the Stock Market

Introduction:
Investments are a crucial aspect of personal finance, as they enable individuals to grow their wealth over time. This lesson will provide an overview of the stock market, its volatility, and how investors can make informed decisions about their investments.

Section 1: Understanding the Stock Market

The stock market refers to the collection of markets and exchanges where the issuing and trading of stocks or shares of publicly-held companies, bonds, and other securities takes place. These financial instruments represent ownership interests in or loans to the issuing company.

The stock market is known for its volatility, which means that prices can fluctuate rapidly and unpredictably. This can be caused by various factors such as changes in interest rates, political events, or natural disasters. However, despite this volatility, many investors still choose to invest in the stock market because of its potential for high returns.

Section 2: How to React to Headlines About Market Crashes

Headlines about impending market crashes can be alarming, but it's essential to remain calm and collected when making investment decisions. One way to do this is by diversifying your portfolio across different asset classes such as stocks, bonds, and real estate. This way, if one investment performs poorly, it won't have as significant an impact on your overall portfolio.

Another strategy is to focus on long-term investing rather than trying to time the market. By investing consistently over time, you can ride out market fluctuations and benefit from compound interest.

Section 3: Mergers and Acquisitions and Your Portfolio

Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) refer to the consolidation of multiple companies into one. These transactions can have a significant impact on your portfolio, so it's essential to understand the underlying businesses involved and their potential for growth.

One way to evaluate M&A deals is by looking at the purchase price relative to the target company's earnings. If the price is too high, it may indicate that the acquiring company is overpaying and could result in a poor investment.

Section 4: Meeting Retirement Goals

Retirement planning is a crucial aspect of personal finance, as it involves determining how much money you'll need to live comfortably after you stop working. To meet your retirement goals, you'll need to consider factors such as inflation, taxes, and healthcare costs.

One way to approach retirement planning is by creating a detailed budget that includes all of your expected expenses. From there, you can determine how much you'll need to save each month to meet your goals.

Section 5: Women and Investing

Women are just as eager as men to reap market returns, but they're less likely to plan for retirement. This can be attributed to several factors, including a lack of financial education and confidence in investing.

To overcome these barriers, women can seek out financial education resources and work with a qualified financial advisor to create a personalized investment plan.

Conclusion:

Investing can be a complex and daunting task, but by understanding the stock market, reacting to headlines, evaluating M&A deals, planning for retirement, and addressing gender disparities, investors can make informed decisions that will help them achieve their financial goals.

Lesson: Understanding Cracking Software

Introduction:
Software cracking is the process of modifying software to remove or disable its protection features, such as copy protection or digital rights management (DRM). This allows users to use the software without paying for it or with limited functionality. In this lesson, we will learn about the basics of cracking software, including what it is, why people do it, and how it works.

What is software cracking?

Software cracking is the practice of breaking the security measures of software programs, usually to enable the use of the software without paying for it or with limited functionality. Cracking software can also refer to the creation of a patch that fixes bugs or adds new features to the software.

Why do people crack software?

There are several reasons why people may choose to crack software. Some of these reasons include:

1. To save money: Many people cannot afford to buy all the software they need. By cracking software, they can use it for free or at a lower cost.

2. To try before buying: Cracking software allows users to try out a program before deciding whether to purchase it. If they like the software, they can then buy it.

3. To remove DRM: Some software comes with digital rights management (DRM), which restricts the user's ability to use the software. Cracking software can remove these restrictions, allowing users to use the software more freely.

4. To access older versions: Sometimes, software companies stop supporting older versions of their software. Cracking software allows users to continue using these older versions.

How does software cracking work?

Software cracking involves finding and exploiting vulnerabilities in the software's security measures. Crackers use various tools and techniques to do this, such as reverse engineering, debugging, and code analysis. Once they have found a vulnerability, they create a patch or crack that bypasses the security measures and allows the software to run without restriction.

Conclusion:

In this lesson, we learned about software cracking, its purposes, and how it works. We also explored some of the reasons why people choose to crack software. As we continue to learn about technology, it is essential to understand the implications of our actions and the potential consequences of using cracked software.


text: 05/19/2013 - College PREP - San Antonio, TX Khalid is a 2B/RHP that graduated this year. At 2B, he has active feet, can cover ground, and square balls up in his fielding position. He has a quick release and has fluid double-play feeds. Offensively, he hits from an athletic setup and gets through the zone with his bottom hand. Loosening his grip and using more top hand will level out his swing path and allow for greater bat speed. On the mound, Valencia throws three pitches - topping out at 73 MPH. He changes speeds with a curve-ball and change-up - both ranging from 55-63 MPH. Currently, Valencia projects best as a 2B that can slap the ball around and become a situational expert, offensively.

Lesson: Introduction to Baseball

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts
Baseball is a sport played between two teams, each consisting of nine players. The objective of the game is to score more runs than the opposing team by hitting a ball with a bat and running around a series of four bases, touching each one in order and returning to home plate before the ball is thrown to a base to tag the runner out. The team that scores the most runs wins the game.

## Section 2: Questions and Answers
1. What are the positions on a baseball field?
- There are nine positions on a baseball field, including pitcher, catcher, first baseman, second baseman, third baseman, shortstop, left fielder, center fielder, and right fielder.

2. How do you hit a curveball?
- Curveballs are thrown by pitchers to make it difficult for batters to hit the ball. To hit a curveball, you need to stay relaxed and keep your weight back on your back foot. You also need to use your wrists to adjust the bat's angle as the ball approaches the plate.

3. What is a balk in baseball?
- A balk is a penalty called against a pitcher who violates any of several rules regarding his position when he pitches the ball. Some common balks include not throwing from the same set of rubber, stopping with one foot on the rubber and the other foot off, or throwing a pitch while the catcher is not in the catcher's box.

## Section 3: Definitions and Examples
### Term: Double Play
- A double play is a defensive play in which two runners are put out in one play. It usually happens when a ball is hit to the infield, and the ball is thrown to first base to get the batter out, and then the ball is thrown to second base to get the runner coming from first base out.

### Term: Bat Speed
- Bat speed refers to the speed at which a batter swings the bat. A higher bat speed means that the batter can hit the ball harder and farther. To increase bat speed, a batter should focus on strengthening their wrists, forearms, and shoulders.

### Term: Change-Up
- A change-up is a type of pitch thrown by a pitcher that looks like a fastball coming out of the pitcher's hand but actually moves slower. It is used to confuse batters and make them think the pitch is going to be a fastball, which is thrown harder and faster than other pitches.

## Section 4: Practical Examples and Real-World Scenarios
In a game, a batter hits a ground ball to the shortstop. The shortstop fields the ball and throws it to first base to get the batter out. Then, the runner on second base tries to advance to third base, but the ball is thrown to third base to get him out. This results in a double play, ending the inning.

## Glossary
- Bat: A wooden or metal stick used by a batter to hit the ball
- Base: One of four stations that runners must touch in order to score a run
- Batter: The player who is currently hitting the ball
- Pitcher: The player who throws the ball to the batter
- Inning: A segment of play in a game, consisting of two teams taking turns batting and fielding
- Out: When a runner is declared not able to continue playing due to being caught by the defense

## Conclusion
Baseball is a complex game that requires skill, strategy, and teamwork. By understanding the basic concepts and rules of the game, you can begin to appreciate its intricacies and enjoy watching or playing the game.

PHILADELPHIA -- The itch to pitch has been there a long time for Ichiro Suzuki, the iconic 41-year-old outfielder who is pursuing 3,000 Major League hits. But on Sunday, in the Marlins' 7-2 loss to the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park, Ichiro's bat was not the story. Ichiro's right arm

PHILADELPHIA -- The itch to pitch has been there a long time for Ichiro Suzuki, the iconic 41-year-old outfielder who is pursuing 3,000 Major League hits. But on Sunday, in the Marlins' 7-2 loss to the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park, Ichiro's bat was not the story.

Ichiro's right arm was. With the Phillies up four in the eighth inning, Miami manager Dan Jennings allowed the 10-time All-Star to accomplish another first -- pitch in a big league game.

No one will confuse the veteran with Marlins ace Jose Fernandez, but Ichiro provided an entertaining inning, allowing one run on two doubles. He didn't strike anyone out or walk a batter, but he did make it through on 18 pitches with 11 strikes.

"I used to pitch in high school," Ichiro said through translator Allen Turner. "I did pitch in an All-Star Game in Japan. But to be on the mound at a Major League Baseball game, you can say one of my dreams came true today. But I'll never ask to do that again."

Ichiro didn't threaten to break any radar readings. His fastball topped at 88 mph, according to MLB.com's Gameday tracking system.

Odubel Herrera doubled and went to third on Cameron Rupp's deep fly ball to center. Darnell Sweeney had an RBI double, and he moved to third on Freddy Galvis' groundout to second. The inning ended when Aaron Altherr lifted a routine fly to left field.

Regardless of the results, the mere fact Ichiro was on the mound had all the Marlins and Phillies paying close attention.

"I kind of knew it might happen today," Marlins outfielder Christian Yelich said. "I was looking for it the whole game. When he finally ran out there, it was pretty cool. It was cool to see both teams at the top step, watching, taking it in. Now, you can say you watched Ichiro pitch in person."

In his remarkable career, Ichiro has appeared in 2,357 MLB games. He has 2,935 big league hits, 65 shy of 3,000. But he's always wanted to pitch.

Every day when he warms up, playing catch, he simulates a windup.

For more than a month, the Marlins considered finding a spot for Ichiro to get on the mound. Down four in the eighth inning was perfect.

"We talked about the situation, it had to be right," Jennings said. "His last at-bat, he's on deck. He looks at me, and says, 'You thinking about it?' I was, 'Oh yeah, it's done. You've got it.' He's earned that."

Experiencing throwing the ball at 60-feet, six-inches from a batter, Ichiro now has a new appreciation for pitchers.

"I think a lot of position players, sometimes say stuff about pitchers, 'Why or you doing this or that?'" Ichiro said. "I'll never say a bad thing about a pitcher again."

Overview

This is the first book-length response to Richard Dawkins, author of some of the most popular scientific works, such as The Selfish Gene and The Blind Watchmaker. Dawkins has become perhaps the world’s best-known atheist, noted for his hostile and controversial views on religion. This wonderfully argued book explains and examines Dawkins’ scientific ideas and their religious implications. Head-to-head, it takes on some of Dawkins’ central assumptions, like the conflict between science and religion, the “selfish gene” theory of evolution, the role of science in explaining the world, and brilliantly exposes their unsustainability. Moreover, this controversial debate is carried on in a style which can be enjoyed by anyone without a scientific or religious background.

Lesson: Introduction to Evolution and Natural Selection

### Section 1: Theoretical Concepts

Evolution is the process by which species of organisms change over time. Natural selection is one of the mechanisms that drive evolution. It is the process by which certain traits become more common in a population over time because they provide an advantage in the environment.

### Section 2: Questions and Answers

**Question:** What is the difference between adaptation and natural selection?
**Answer:** Adaptation refers to the physical or behavioral traits that an organism develops as a result of natural selection. Natural selection is the process by which certain traits become more common in a population over time because they provide an advantage in the environment.

**Question:** How does natural selection occur?
**Answer:** Natural selection occurs when individuals with certain traits are better able to survive and reproduce than others in their environment. Over time, these advantageous traits become more common in the population.

### Section 3: Definitions and Examples

**Definition:** Fitness refers to an organism's ability to survive and reproduce in its environment.

**Example:** In a population of giraffes, those with longer necks are better able to reach food sources that other animals cannot. As a result, they are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing on their longer necks to future generations. Over time, the population of giraffes will have a higher average neck length due to natural selection.

### Section 4: Practical Examples

**Example:** In a pond full of tadpoles, some have legs while others do not. The tadpoles with legs can swim faster and avoid predators better than those without legs. As a result, they are more likely to survive and grow into frogs. Over time, the population of tadpoles in the pond will have a higher proportion of frogs with legs.

### Glossary

**Fitness:** An organism's ability to survive and reproduce in its environment.

**Natural selection:** The process by which certain traits become more common in a population over time because they provide an advantage in the environment.

### Conclusion

Understanding the principles of evolution and natural selection is essential for understanding the world around us. By studying these concepts, we can gain a deeper appreciation for the complexity and interconnectedness of life on Earth.
