Properties of water
Water (H
2O) is the most abundant compound on Earth's surface, covering 70 percent of the planet. In nature, water exists in liquid, solid, and gaseous states. It is in dynamic equilibrium between the liquid and gas states at standard temperature and pressure. At room temperature, it is a tasteless and odorless liquid, nearly colorless with a hint of blue. Many substances dissolve in water and it is commonly referred to as the universal solvent. Because of this, water in nature and in use is rarely pure and some properties may vary from those of the pure substance. However, there are also many compounds that are essentially, if not completely, insoluble in water. Water is the only common substance found naturally in all three common states of matter and it is essential for all life on Earth. Water makes up 55% to 78% of the human body.

H2O (software)
H2O is open-source software for big-data analysis. It is produced by the start-up H2O.ai (formerly 0xdata), which launched in 2011 in Silicon Valley. The speed and flexibility of H2O allow users to fit hundreds or thousands of potential models as part of discovering patterns in data. With H2O, users can throw models at data to find usable information, allowing H2O to discover patterns. Using H2O, Cisco estimates each month 20 thousand models of its customers' propensities to buy.
H2O's mathematical core is developed with the leadership of Arno Candel; after H2O was rated as the best "open-source Java machine learning project" by GitHub's programming members, Candel was named to the first class of "Big Data All Stars" by Fortune in 2014. The firm's scientific advisors are experts on statistical learning theory and mathematical optimization.
The H2O software runs can be called from the statistical package R and other environments. It is used for exploring and analyzing datasets held in cloud computing systems and in the Apache Hadoop Distributed File System as well as in the conventional operating-systems Linux, Mac OS, and Microsoft Windows. The H2O software is written in Java, Python, and R. Its graphical-user interface is compatible with four popular browsers: Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Internet Explorer.

Evol (Future album)
Evol (stylized as EVOL) is the fourth studio album by American rapper Future. It was released on February 6, 2016, by A1 Recordings, Freebandz and Epic Records. It premiered on DJ Khaled's We The Best Radio debut on Beats 1. EVOL was released seven months after the release of Future's third album DS2 (2015), five months after the release of his collaborative mixtape with Drake, What a Time to Be Alive (2015), and almost three weeks after the release of his mixtape Purple Reign (2016). It debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 with 100,000 copies sold.
Background
On December 25, 2015, The Weeknd released a collaborative song with Future, titled "Low Life" on SoundCloud. It was produced by Metro Boomin and Ben Billions, while it co-produced by The Weeknd. The song was later revealed to be included on EVOL, as the penultimate track.
On February 1, 2016, DJ Khaled announced that he would be premiering Future's fourth album on the debut show of We The Best Radio on Apple Music. Future then announced the album title, release date and artwork, as well as individually tweeting the tracklist.
Evol (Sonic Youth album)
EVOL is the third studio album by American alternative rock band Sonic Youth. It was released in May 1986 by SST Records, the band's first release on the label. The noise rock album is notable for being the first with new drummer Steve Shelley, replacing Bob Bert, and for showing signs of the band's transition from their no wave past toward a greater pop sensibility.
Despite not being successful at the time, the album received great retrospective praise; Pitchfork said that EVOL "[was] where the seeds of greatness were sown", and placed the album 31st on their Top 100 Albums of the 1980s list, alongside Sonic Youth's next two albums, Sister and Daydream Nation, which ranked 14th and first, respectively.
Background and recording
In June 1985, during the Bad Moon Rising tour, previous drummer Bert left the band and was replaced by Shelley. The new lineup quickly began working on new material for their third album. The band signed to SST, as by 1986, label founder Greg Ginn was anxious for the label to move away from its American hardcore roots. Sonic Youth took a break from the tour and finished the writing for EVOL. In March 1986, the band recorded the album at BC Studio with New York recording icon Martin Bisi.EVOL marked the second time that the band had worked with New York singer and performance artist Lydia Lunch. Lunch had shared vocal duties on Bad Moon Rising's "Death Valley '69", and on this record, she co-wrote the song "Marilyn Moore".
