	Water Changes in Reef Aquaria by Randy Holmes-Farley - Reefkeeping.com
		Clearly, the single 30% change is a little better than the others (70% vs. 72-74% initial impurities remaining), but the difference is quite small, and the difference between the others in efficiency is trivial.
		So, while changing 50% per day is really out of the question for any normal to large reef aquarium without an inlet directly from the ocean or a large seawater well, a 3-gallon nanoreef aquarium attached to a very slow continuous pump could maintain adequate calcium and alkalinity by replacing 1.5 gallons each day.
		While lots of smaller changes (say, 30 changes of 1% each) are slightly less efficient than one larger one (30% in a single batch), the difference is small (30 changes of 1% each exactly matches one 26% batch water change), and consequently other factors of convenience or stress on organisms may be more important.

	Cleaning Your Aquarium - The First Tank Guide - Why Small and Frequent Water Changes
		Small, frequent water changes are also usually easier for the aquarium owner to schedule and get in the habit of doing.
		So, small, frequent water changes are better because they can keep the tank clean, minimize the stress on the tank and its inhabitants, and minimize the stress on the tank owner.
		While large water changes are not inherently disastrous, they do pose many significant risks to the tank and the tank population, which can all be easily avoided by switching to a schedule of smaller, more frequent water changes.

	Small changes do not imply large changes - EvoWiki
		While it's true that small changes don't imply large changes, it's not true that the large changes are unevidenced.
		The mere fact that small changes occur is not the only (even the primary) basis for universal common descent.
		To prevent small changes from accumulating and making large changes for billions of years, a barrier would be necessary.

	CB902.2: Evolution by small changes
		Creationists recognize that small microevolutionary changes occur, but small changes do not imply large changes, so the theory of macroevolution is unjustified.
		This claim falsely assumes that the conclusion of macroevolution is based solely on the observation of microevolution.
		If there is some selective pressure for the changes to go in one direction, the changes will add up.

	Change
		If much/all of morphological evolution can be explained with little/no change in the basic biochemistry and cell plans of organisms, then that morphological evolution, which depends on that basic biochemistry and cell biology, does not apply at this level, but instead exists only because it is built upon this level.
		One may assume (1) to explain evolutionary change as a working hypothesis, but we should keep in mind that large changes in evolution are basically a "fl box" and a series of small incremental changes may play only a trivial, fine-tuning role in any transition (there is no evidence to think otherwise).
		In the end, appeals to small change + deep time are embraced merely as a matter of convenience, as it happens to be the primary way we can think about evolution at a time when we are just starting to come to grips with it.

	FRB: Speech, Greenspan -- Changes in small business finance -- March 9, 1999
		Changes in financial markets are perhaps most apparent in the realignment taking place among our commercial banks.
		However, studies of the dynamic effects of bank mergers and acquisitions suggest that while mergers are apt to reduce small business lending by the participants, this decline appears to be offset in part, or even in whole, by an increase in lending by other institutions in the same local market.
		In the small business sector, potential impediments include: lack of market information, difficulties in assessing risk, high transactions costs for small loans, and, in rural areas, special challenges associated with geographic distance from lenders and potential markets.

	Small changes may help overweight kids - Eating Disorder - Health In Focus
		A total of 216 families, all of which had at least one overweight child, aged 7 to 14 years, were assigned to the on-the-move program or to a comparison group.
		The 111 families in the intervention group were instructed to make two lifestyle changes: increase their physical activity by walking an extra 2,000 steps per day, and eliminate 100 calories from their daily diet by using the sugar substitute, Splenda, or Splenda-containing beverages in place of regular sugar.
		"We're talking about a small change that can have a small positive impact," he said, noting that, in many cases, drastic reductions in weight are usually not maintained anyway.

		CHANGE: TNIV has a principle that applies to the group corporately, but it is not as clear whether it applies to each individual.
		CHANGE: TNIV changes to the second person, you, thereby seeming to restrict the principle to the immediate addressees, "you," the disciples to whom Jesus is talking.

	Forward Thought Small Changes have Great Impact
		When you decide that you need to change something in your work or personal life, chances are slim that if you do not have the right plan and timeline of expectations that you will succeed.
		Too many times, the change intended does not correlate with the proper amount of time needed and, least we forget, the level of energy we provide does not correlate with the level of energy it takes to actually change.
		As a result, we sometimes miss the fact that the big changes we constantly think about can be attained by looking to our left and right and making small changes that can help us attain greatness that we are.

		TOMORROW night's census is proof that the largest survey of Australian population and housing is open to change.
		But change does happen and, for the first time this year's questionnaire will include a section on unpaid labour, a result of the increased recognition given to the unpaid work that people — mostly women — do at home, as carers or volunteers.
		Likewise, the option since 2001 to be included in the time capsule — in which personal records are kept for 99 years by the National Archives then released to the public — was the result of lobbying from genealogists and historians.

	Small Changes Give Low Cholesterol Diet Added Punch
		Their results show that small daily investments in these readily available foods can improve blood cholesterol levels significantly -- when combined with a low-fat, low-cholesterol diet.
		But at this time, you cannot tell if it was the soy protein or the soluble fiber [that created their results].
		One critic of the study says that it is unclear whether the soy or soluble fiber was responsible for the change in cholesterol, as the study subjects were eating both.

	Reinforcing Small Changes in Behavior - SchwabLearning.org
		The psychological term for this is ‘successive approximations.’ Successive approximation, or Reinforcing Small Changes, as we refer to it in my practice, involves picking a single misbehavior, determining the smallest sign of change, and then noting when the child has displayed that behavior.
		Not looking for smaller changes will be a guaranteed lesson in demoralization for your child.) Also remember, that a ‘sign of change’ doesn’t necessarily have to be a behavior your child has never exhibited before.
		Second, she could have noted the small changes that he exhibited, such as, taking the cell phone with him, having his girlfriend answer it, or coming in 1½ hours late instead of his usual 2½ hours late.

		The answer to the increase of flu cases may be extremely minute seasonal changes, says David Earn of the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at McMaster University.
		These small changes in 'transmission rate' are amplified by interactions between the evolving virus and the changing level of immunity that people have to specific strains."
		Concludes Earn, "The reason that more people catch the flu in the winter appears to be that small seasonal changes in flu transmission at the individual level are greatly amplified as the disease spreads through communities.
