Taylor Swift and Adele may have boycotted streaming platforms when releasing their latest albums， but rapper Kanye West proved the power of online consumption as The Life of Pablo debuted at the top of the US Billboard 200 album chart on the strength of streaming numbers。


The Life of Pablo， West‘s seventh studio album and his seventh No.1 record on Billboard 200， sold 28，000 physical albums and was streamed 99 million times in the US， accounting for 66，000 album units， according to figures from Nielsen SoundScan。 The chart equates 1，500 streams as one album unit。


West first released Pablo on premium streaming service Tidal in February， which offered new subscribers a free trial before paying between $9.99 and $19.99 a month。


The rapper kept tweaking tracks and titles before making Pablo available on platforms such as Apple Music and Spotify last week。 Spotify said Pablo was streamed 50 million times in the US last week， accounting for half of the overall streams。


It is also available to purchase for $20 via West‘s own website。


West‘s success follows that of R&B singer Rihanna， whose Anti album topped the Billboard 200 chart in March with 17，000 physical album sales and 36 million streams。


Rihanna released Anti exclusively on Tidal in February before making it available on other streaming platforms。


The commercial value of streaming has been questioned by artists such as pop singer Swift， who withheld her 1989 album from streaming platforms in 2014， saying music should be paid for。

One night many thousands of years ago http://www.authenticsteelersstore.com/Steelers-Greg-Lloyd-Draft-Jersey/ , Og and his hunting buddies were sitting around a fire that illuminated a small spot in what must have been a huge, dark, and very scary world. As long as the fire burned, wolves, bears and saber-toothed tigers remained at bay. But Og noticed a small wolf hovering at the edge of the light.

He threw a small Mastodon bone at the wolf to scare it off. But to Og's surprise, the wolf picked up the bone and brought it back! Og repeated the toss several times and each time the wolf brought the bone back, much to the amusement of Og and his buddies.

At some point the wolf spotted something in the darkness that Og was not aware of. The wolf bared his fangs and growled. Og and his buddies began yelling and throwing things in the direction of what ever it was out there. Satisfied that the threat had been scared off, Og rewarded the wolf with a piece of Mastodon meat. Og then pointed at the wolf and yelled, "dOg," which meant "Little wolf belonging to Og." And that was the first dog.

Obviously, the above story is a compete fabrication. However, research into the origins of dogs indicates that dogs did evolve from wolves, possibly as long as 100,000 years ago. More interestingly, dogs could not have developed without human intervention. So the story above, while fanciful, may not be too far from the truth.

There are many similarities between dogs and wolves. For one thing, dogs and wolves are the same species, meaning that a dog and a wolf can produce offspring capable of reproducing. Not only are dogs and wolves similar in appearance, (except when it comes to creatures like Shiz Tsus) but dogs and wolves exhibit similar social behavior. Therefore, is very likely that the first dogs were domesticated wolves, and the breeds we have today were entirely created by humans.

What is a dog breed? It is a little more complex than just "Poodles," or "Boxers." A dog breed refers to any group of dogs of similar characteristics developed and maintained by humans. Also, "breed" can include landraces, or natural breeds. These dogs have developed similar characteristics over time in response to their environment, but without direct selection by humans. An example of a landrace is the Dingo of Australia.

Over many years, Og's descendants found that some dogs were good at hunting, while other dogs were better at other tasks. For example, breeding good hunters with other good hunters, resulted in consistently good hunting dogs. Around 12,000 years ago, humans began cultivating crops, and dog breeds became more specialized, more similar in appearance, and less "wolf-like." Hunting and guarding dogs were large, while dogs kept for pets or to capture burrowing animals were smaller.

While many dog breeds such as German Shepherds have been around for hundreds of years, it was not until the formation of the English Kennel Club in 1873 that formal documentation of dog pedigrees was established.

Shortly thereafter, breed clubs began to be established to promote and enhance specific breeds. Each club defined the characteristics their breed must have, and other characteristics the breed must not have.
