Here is a another tribute to my favorite band, Coldplay. I made it with pictures from various photoshoots, and music video clips from "Speed of Sound" and "Clocks". Enjoy!
In this video podcast, Mario Ajero shows how to play the piano part to the song, "Clocks", by Coldplay. A downloadable version and more video lessons can be found on The Piano Podcast on iTunes and http://marioajero.blogspot.com
There is also a link to buy and download the sheet music from there too.

In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder, bloodshed ? they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock.
The long awaited oasis song if finally here...
Hey guys... For anyone interested in downloading these songs...

In this video I deconstruct the broken watch straw man argument used by creationist / ID supporters to attack evolution. I had to pack a ton of information into this video so you WILL need to pause it periodically.
The basic premise of the argument is that a bunch of parts will never randomly assemble into the correct arrangement to form a properly functioning complex. Once again, creationists / ID supporters miss the basic concept of evolution entirely. No biologists believes, nor is there any evidence that complex systems form spontaneously in one fell swoop. That would be creation. Systems evolve through many intermediates, one step at a time, slowly building up the complexity.
Here I deconstruct their straw man argument. Basically, I simulate clocks as living organisms. Selective pressure is focused on their ability to accurately tell time. NO goal is imposed on the design (you can tell this because every simulation ends with a differently constructed clock). And it works. Clocks evolve through a series of transitional forms: Pendulum, Proto-clock, 1-handed Clock, 2-handed Clock, 3-handed Clock, and 4-handed Clock. Gradually the complexity is built up.
These labels I have assigned to the transitional forms have nothing to do with the simulation itself. They are names I assigned so that we could analyze what the population was doing. The clocks are just clocks, living in their world, trying to tell time as accurately as possible.
One thing I wanted to address but didn't have time in the video is how rapid the transitional period can be. In some simulations the population goes from pendulums to 3-handed Clocks in a hundred or so generations. And the transitions between the transitional forms are even more rapid, happening in about ten generations. Chances are none or a very limited representation of that transition will be preserved in the fossil record.
One thing I should add. The program does not draw the clocks. It maintains, mates, and simulates them, but the drawing must be done manually from the genome matrix.
The program is written in MatLab.
The hand rotations that begin with 86 are 86,000 not 86.000. When YouTube compressed the video it becam hard to tell a comma from a period.

Clocks (Live 2003)
Live 2003 es un álbum hecho por la banda británica Coldplay, lanzado a la venta en noviembre de 2003. la serie de DVD y cd's son conciertos filmados en el Horden Pavilion de Sydney el 21 y 22 de julio del año 2003. Incluye la canción nunca editada hasta entonces "Moses". Ésta fue nominada para los Premios Grammy del 2004.
The 18th century astronomy community's reluctance to accept the accuracy of John Harrison's clocks is not one of the highs of scientific research.
I've had to quite heavily edit the 18 or so minutes I have of this documentary shown in early 1999 (would like to credit it further but cannot at this point) in the 9:38 I have here, I concentrate on the astronomical alternatives, the Barbados trial and the final winning of the prize money
