In biology, an adaptation, also called an adaptive trait, is a trait with a current functional role in the life of an organism that is maintained and evolved by means of natural selection. Adaptation refers to both the current state of being adapted and to the dynamic evolutionary process that leads to the adaptation. Adaptations enhance the fitness and survival of individuals. Organisms face a succession of environmental challenges as they grow and develop and are equipped with an adaptive plasticity as the phenotype of traits develop in response to the imposed conditions. The developmental norm of reaction for any given trait is essential to the correction of adaptation as it affords a kind of biological insurance or resilience to varying environments.
Adaptation is, first of all, a process, rather than a part of a body. An internal parasite (such as a liver fluke) can illustrate the distinction: such a parasite may have a very simple bodily structure, but nevertheless the organism is highly adapted to its specific environment. From this we see that adaptation is not just a matter of visible traits: in such parasites critical adaptations take place in the life cycle, which is often quite complex. However, as a practical term, adaptation is often used for the product: those features of a species which result from the process. Many aspects of an animal or plant can be correctly called adaptations, though there are always some features whose function is in doubt. By using the term adaptation for the evolutionary process, and adaptive trait for the bodily part or function (the product), the two senses of the word may be distinguished.
Abęl Makkonen Tesfaye (born 16 February 1990), known professionally by his stage name The Weeknd (pronounced "the weekend"), is a Canadian singer, songwriter and record producer. In late 2010, Tesfaye anonymously uploaded several songs to YouTube under the name "The Weeknd". He released three nine-track mixtapes throughout 2011: House of Balloons, Thursday and Echoes of Silence, which were critically acclaimed. The following year, he released a compilation album Trilogy, thirty tracks consisting of remastered versions of the mixtape material and three additional songs. It was released under Republic Records and his own label XO.
In 2013, he released his debut studio album Kiss Land, which was supported by the singles "Kiss Land" and "Live For". His second album, Beauty Behind the Madness, which became his first number one album on the Billboard 200, included the top-five single "Earned It" and produced the number-one singles "The Hills" and "Can't Feel My Face". The songs have simultaneously held the top three spots on the Billboard Hot R&B Songs chart, making him the first artist in history to achieve this.

Director Spike Jonze delivers a stunningly original comedy that seamlessly blends fictional characters and situations with the lives of real people: obsessive orchid hunter John Laroche (Cooper), New Yorker journalist Susan Orlean (Streep), Hollywood screenwriter Charlie Kaufman (Cage), and his twin brother, Donald (also Cage). As Charlie struggles to adapt Orlean's best-selling book "The Orchid Thief," he writes himself into his own movie. The various stories crash into one another exploding into a wildly imaginative film. http://www.sonypictures.com/homevideo/catalog/catalogDetail_DVD043396076013.html

Read your free e-book: http://copydl.space/mebk/50/en/B000SJYY3M/book It is estimated that at least 33 million people around the world have been displaced from their homes by war or persecution. Numerous studies have documented high rates of psychological distress among these survivors of extreme violence and forced migration, yet very few have access to clinic-based mental health care. In any case, clinic-based services cannot adequately address the constellation of displacement-related stressors that affect refugees daily, whether in a new region of their homeland or a new countrystressors such as social isolation, the loss of previously valued social roles, poverty and a lack of employment opportunities, and difficulties obtaining education and medical care.

There's news of a Lion King live action flick with a TBA timeframe. Luckily we have some great ideas on who should voice these iconic characters from the Disney Universe. We talk about Lion King, Beauty and the Beast as well as who we think would be a great fit to play the Genie from Aladdin in a live action film if their ever is one.
Climate change is the defining global issue of our lifetime and will shape our future for generations to come. To slow the rate of climate change and respond to its impacts, a critical mass of people on the planet must be empowered to take informed individual and collective actions. To get there will require a global climate change education effort—one that initiates immediate individual change and ultimately influences government policy. Our scientists and educators from the University of California, working with our partners in up to 40 countries, will create a climate change education program that will build long-term expertise and resilience for adapting to this unprecedented challenge. This project will allow us to develop and collect educational programs and tools, along with a c...

Davia talks about the unique role that state agencies play in conserving wildlife. We learn a bit of the history behind wildlife management in the United States. Doug and Davia then dig into the role state agencies have played in adaptation planning at the state and national level. Davia explains the role of AFWA’s Climate Change committee and how it provides resources for adaptation planning to the states. We discuss missed opportunities for long term wildlife funding with the failed Cap and Trade Bill. Davia also discuss some of her favorite climate change resources, ranging from the Climate Smart report, to the Clima...

Obesity is a condition of excess fat accumulation in adipocytes where the person is literally stuck in storage mode diverting a disproportionate amount of calories into fat cells as opposed to oxidation. Thus it is more productive to think of obesity as a problem in 'energy flow' rather than energy expenditure (i.e., calories in, calories out). The most efficient approach to accelerate the body's ability to access and burn body fat is to restrict dietary carbohydrate while increasing fat intake for a period of several weeks, after which fatty acids and ketones become the primary fuel at rest and during submaximal exercise. The coordinated set of metabolic adaptations that ensure proper inter-organ fuel supply in the face of low carbohydrate availability is referred to as keto- adaptation. ...
The CrossFit Journal - (http://journal.crossfit.com) Nearly three years ago, Marine veteran Nicholas Thom came to CrossFit Rubicon without his legs and without some of his fingers. Eager to become a member, he inquired about monthly rates. Dave "Chef" Wallach, owner of the Vienna, Va., affiliate, would only accept $1. "And therein started a program that's now moving into our third year that anyone who's been injured in the line of duty—military, law enforcement or first responder—they and their family train with us for $1 a month," he says. That program has since grown, and last year CrossFit Rubicon hosted the 2012 Working Wounded Games, a competition for amputees and severely wounded veterans. Workouts included one-arm sled pulls and seated wall-ball shots. Calling someone an "adapt...

“Adaptation”
Adaptation the process
Environments changing
I’m looking for the foothold
I never quite found it
Food stamps catering your wedding
Wal-Mart stylist
Aiding and abetting
With the riot police in the streets patrolling
The kids in strollers but the tanks keep pressing on through
My eyes never ever blink twice
They open and they close from the morning to the night
And yes you can pay with plastic
But you keep your money in the bank
Your a pawn big brother no thanks
Always vicious and suspicious here
Watch a numb hand shake another
It is business as usual in here
Drop bombs on the dark skinned people
You can claim to be a Christian but the killing is offensive
Sinning and winning right to the top
Zoloft and Paxil and Prozax but still no pot
What kind of legislation is that?
Response
My brain can’t function
Diluted
I’m already past the negative assumptions
The consequences never arrive late
They alter the mind state
Driving the man into madness
One foot falls as one foot catches it
One sin exits as one sin enters it
The cycle is intoxicating it’s not worth debating
Why cut me short there’s so much more to be said
Like was the missing link really ever missing?
Is there really any truth with paranoid suspicion?
Always vicious and suspicious here
Watch a numb hand shake another
