Turtles are unable to regulate their body temperatures independently, so they are completely dependent on the temperature of their environment. For this reason, they need to sunbathe frequently to warm themselves and maintain their body temperatures.

 

The red-eared slider gets its name from the small, red stripe around its ears, or where its ears would be, and from its ability to slide quickly off rocks and logs into the water.

 

Red-eared sliders are native to the Southern United States and northern Mexico, but have become established in other places because of pet releases, and have become an invasive species in many areas where they outcompete native species.

 

The carapace of this species can reach more than 40 cm (16 in) in length, but the typical length ranges from 15 to 20 cm (6 to 8 in). The females of the species are usually larger than the males. They typically live between 20 and 30 years.

Le martin-pêcheur se nourrit principalement de poissons pris depuis un perchoir au-dessus de l'eau. L'oiseau reste posé pendant de longs moments, regardant attentivement l'eau à la recherche de proies, tournant et inclinant la tête et le corps. Quand la proie est détectée, il plonge à pic et capture le poisson sous l'eau, pouvant aller jusqu'à un mètre de profondeur. Ensuite, utilisant ses ailes, il se propulse vers la surface et s'élève, le bec tendu vers le ciel, et retourne sur son perchoir.

The kingfisher feeds mainly on fish caught from a perch above the water. The bird remains resting for long periods of time, looking carefully at the water for prey, turning and tilting the head and body. When the prey is detected, it plunges sharply and captures the fish under water, up to one meter deep. Then, using its wings, it propels itself towards the surface and rises, the beak stretched towards the sky, and returns on its perch.

It was Monday when they took out your blood and bone marrow. How could you keep this all to yourself when you could save a life? Besides, they found a potential donor and he is wealthy and ready to go on SpaceX again. On Tuesday, they demanded a kidney. You really only need one to function. You may think the quality of your life is important but this other person is a CEO of a major company. On Wednesday, they took out a lung and on Thursday your liver. Finally, they came for your heart on Friday.

 

You were a murderer, they said, for walking around with these things inside your body when you could save so many others. Your body is a ward of the state and you no longer have control over it.

 

Did you really think the lack of body autonomy didn't affect you?

 

For those on TikTok, I saw this video and I was like yes this here...and remember, we've given a ton of power to corporations in this country and profit over people so the lack of body autonomy is dangerous for everyone who isn't very wealthy. We know who will be left and what will be left of us.

Birds puff up their feathers to trap heat next to their body, or to dry out after a bath. They also fluff up their feathers when they are stressed or sick. Or while they are preening. And males may fluff up a bit when they are doing their courtship dancing...This one was seen Early morning on a TV Aerial ..

Plattbauch - Broad-Bodied Chaser

I was milling around with a few other folks watching the activity at the river crossing late this afternoon. The action was pretty intense about now. There were horses in the trees behind me, bands of horses across the river, in the river, down the river. There was a lot going on and it was tough to decide what to focus on. Someone nearby said something like, "uh oh, trouble coming, look out behind you". I whirled around and pointed the camera, just in time to watch the chestnut body-slam and then kick at the gray. Geez.

 

Looking at the gray now, and the Righty gray in my post from yesterday, it's conceivable it's the same horse as this image is about 20 minutes before the gray pair posted yesterday. If that's so, then in the image from yesterday Lefty could be saying to Righty "Good job, you held your own against that rambunctious body-slammer." Furthermore, I'm elated I got any pics at all of this - straight into the setting sun practically. Lucky camera settings...

I'm a bit of a different type of concert photographer in that I'd rather photograph a raw and genuine local band than Taylor Swift. I love experiencing the vibrant local community of music that is Chicago. I hesitated to post this photo because this provocative punk band does not have any music recorded yet (They do have plans, though) but they were super fun and energetic and I look forward to hearing their debut album. I've seen so many great local bands in my city over the years that others may not ever have the chance to experience and I am grateful for the opportunity to document a movement, even a local one. Right now, Body Shop mainly have this Instagram account:

Location

Sainte Rose sur Mer & BarDeco, Sereno Bay (211, 19, 27)

Sunrise at Tannery Park. Though downtown Toronto is over 50km away, I could still see the Toronto CN tower with sun rising from another side of the lake. I wanted to capture the icicles hanging on the pier, only this side the lighthouse and icicles could be seen because the waves hitting the pier all the time. But I had to miss the Toronto skyline on the opposite side… Two hours in the early morning was long enough to freeze the body, after photo session, walking along the pier to lighthouse was becoming a bit difficult, I needed a warm Coffee to survive 😉

 

Happy Valentine's Day my dear Flickr Friends! 💕

Körperwelten sind seit 1996 bestehende Wanderausstellungen plastinierter, überwiegend menschlicher Körper. Initiator der Ausstellungen ist der Anatom Gunther von Hagens. Die Ausstellungen sind auf Grund der Exponate umstritten.

Verfahren:

Das Verfahren läuft prinzipiell in vier Stufen ab:

 

Der erste Schritt ist die Fixierung in Formalin oder farberhaltenden Zubereitungen, welche das Gewebe stabilisieren und dadurch die Schrumpfung minimieren. Außerdem verhindert die Fixierung den Zerfall des Gewebes bei einer eventuell erforderlichen Präparation. Diese dient zur Freilegung und damit Darstellung bestimmter Strukturen mit Skalpell und Pinzette. Präparate für die („primäre“) Scheibenplastination werden jetzt auf einer Bandsäge oder mit einer anderen Schneidemaschine zerschnitten.

Bei dem sich anschließenden Gefrieraustausch und der Entfettung wird dem Präparat in einem −25 °C kalten Aceton-Bad das Gewebewasser entzogen. Das Wasser gefriert, das Aceton löst erst das Wasser, dann gegebenenfalls bei Raumtemperatur das Fett heraus. Bei Bedarf wird noch gründlicher mit Dichlormethan entfettet, welches einen höheren Dampfdruck als Aceton hat. Wasser und Fett sind nun durch Aceton ersetzt.

Der dritte Schritt und der eigentliche Kern der Plastination ist die forcierte Imprägnierung. Hierbei wird das Präparat in einer Kunststofflösung unter Vakuum gesetzt. Durch den hohen Dampfdruck beginnt das Aceton zu sieden und „perlt“ aus dem Präparat heraus. Dadurch entsteht ein Volumendefizit, sodass das gleiche Volumen an Kunststoff ins Gewebe hineingesaugt wird. Das Präparat ist danach vollkommen mit Kunststoff durchtränkt und wird eventuell in die anatomisch richtige Stellung gebracht.

Der letzte Schritt ist die Härtung. Die Kunststoffe werden jetzt je nach Kunststoffart durch Wärme, UV-Licht oder gasförmigen Härter auspolymerisiert. Bei der „sekundären Scheibenplastination“ wie auch bei der „Tissue Tracing Technique“ erfolgen entscheidende Bearbeitungsschritte nach Abschluss der Härtung. Komplett plastinierte Körperteile, dicke Scheiben oder Blöcke werden bei der sekundären Scheibenplastination in dünne parallele Scheiben geschnitten oder bei der Tissue Tracing Technique gezielt so geschliffen und zugeschnitten, dass anatomische Strukturen in Scheibenplastinaten verfolgt werden können.

  

Body Worlds (German title: Körperwelten) is a traveling exposition of preserved human bodies and body parts. In this exhibit what is enticed to see are real skinned humans and other anatomical structures of the body that have gone through the process of plastination. Plastination is “a process in which unite subtle anatomy and modern polymer chemistry.”Plastination is a process that a German man named Gunther Von Hagens created in the late 70’s in which the body is preserved to keep it from decaying.

 

Process:

There are four steps in the standard process of plastination: fixation, dehydration, forced impregnation in a vacuum, and hardening. Water and lipid tissues are replaced by curable polymers. Curable polymers used by plastination include silicone, epoxy and polyester-copolymer.

 

The first step of plastination is fixation. Fixation, frequently utilizing a formaldehyde based solution, serves two functions. Dissecting the specimen to show specific anatomical elements can be time consuming. Formaldehyde or other preserving solutions help prevent decomposition of the tissues. They may also confer a degree of rigidity. This can be beneficial in maintaining the shape or arrangement of a specimen. A stomach might be inflated or a leg bent at the knee for example.

 

After any necessary dissections have taken place, the specimen is then placed in a bath of acetone. Under freezing conditions, the acetone draws out all the water and replaces it inside the cells.

 

In the third step, the specimen is then placed in a bath of liquid polymer, such as silicone rubber, polyester or epoxy resin. By creating a vacuum, the acetone is made to boil at a low temperature. As the acetone vaporizes and leaves the cells, it draws the liquid polymer in behind it, leaving a cell filled with liquid plastic.

 

The plastic must then be cured with gas, heat, or ultraviolet light, in order to harden it.

 

A specimen can be anything from a full human body to a small piece of an animal organ, and they are known as 'plastinates'.[citation needed] Once plastinated, the specimens and bodies are further manipulated and positioned prior to curing (hardening) of the polymer chains.
