Wow, I don't know how many days late this is. All I really know is that it's very late...
I know everyone does one of these, but here's my shot at it.
Anyway, sorry for the major lack of uploads. I have been in bed with the flu for a good 4 days, and as a result I have officially missed 3 consecutive days of my 365. I guess I'll just have to tack 3 days onto the end then. Today was the first day I could actually manage to get out of bed, so I'm sorry.
Thanks to Grisamanecer for the new testimonial! And thanks to the others before her.
Oh, while I was practically dead, my Valentines day shot, Love Is All Around You, reached #4 on explore! Thank you all so much! I am so happy! That's the highest explore I have ever received! You all deserve a huge party!
I am also sorry if I haven't answered any of your messages yet. I am still trying to sift through the 200+ I that have accumulated in my inbox these past few days while I was out. So if you sent me mail, hang in there, I'm getting to you!
Sorry for the overload, quite a little bit happened these past four days.
This is also part of my roped miniseries. Before/during/after?

Los ojos de un gato son misteriosos; parecen contener todo un universo… y cuando mi gata me mira fijamente veo todo ese universo en la línea vaginal de sus pupilas.
Creo que los gatos son espíritus encarnados en la tierra. Un gato, estoy seguro, podría caminar sobre una nube sin atravesarla.
Julio Verne
La canción pertenece al primer álbum de la banda "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn" y es una dedicatoria al gato del cantante, guitarrista y compositor, Syd Barrett. El nombre del felino era Sam y seguro adivinaréis por qué le pusieron el pseudónimo de Lucifer.
Primate DNA is only five percent different from ours. Like us, they feel jealousy, envy, love, shame, grief, depression... They are very social beings, they are sensitive and each one has a different personality, according to the experts, as happens in humans. They develop tools for specific purposes, which involves reasoning, anticipating the future and acting with the tool. They adopt orphans, which demonstrates social bonds, empathy and altruism. They have self-awareness, cooperative problem-solving and learning by example and experience, so they have symbolic capacity and a culture of their own, which they pass on from one generation to the next. Chimpanzees even surpass humans in certain memory tasks. An ape at the age of two is able to do small sums and use tools, while a two year old does not even know how to do sums or reason the why of the tool. They give pets to their children and they even learn words in sign language, being able to establish a conversation with their caregiver. They are able to teach their offspring sign language so that they can communicate with their caregivers. And so on. And they share a very important trait with humans, a trait not found in any other animal... laughter.
This image is dedicated to Bobby. Bobby was a chimpanzee used for decades as a laboratory animal at the Coulston Foundation in Alamogordo, New Mexico. He was born in captivity and at a very young age participated in biomedical experiments. By the age of 19, he had been anaesthetised more than 250 times and biopsied as many times. His life was spent in solitude inside a tiny metal cage. His body was bruised and scarred. In a deeply depressed state, he was incessantly self-harming, a clear sign that he intended to end his life. In 2002 he was transferred to Save the Chimps, a chimpanzee sanctuary in Louisiana, USA. Dedicated to Jeannie. Jeannie was in the service of science for nine years. At the age of six, she began her career in the pharmaceutical laboratories of Merck, Sharpe and Dohme. Shortly afterwards she was donated to the Buckshire Corporation and ended up at LEMSIP, Laboratory for Experimental Medicine and Surgery in Primates in New York at the age of 22. During that time she participated in several invasive experimental protocols including repeated vaginal douching, multiple cervical, liver and lymph node biopsies. She was infected with HIV and hepatitis C, and participated in rhinovirus vaccination protocols. She was anaesthetised more than 200 times. She died at the age of 31 at the Fauna Foundation, Canada's only primate sanctuary. Dedicated to Newt. Newt was born in 1979 at LEMSIP. At the age of four months he was sold to the Southwest National Primate Research Center in San Antonio, Texas. Newt was HIV-positive and was widely exposed to hepatitis B virus. Before he was four years old, he began intermittently self-harming. In 2003 he had his canines removed. Newt's clinical reports indicated that he had bites and lacerations on his hands, fingers, thighs, arms, legs, wrists and scrotum. A psychiatric report determined that Newt was in a profound state of insanity and derangement. He was attempting to commit suicide and end his life. This image is dedicated to all primates who have suffered psychological and physical torture, deprivation of liberty, abominable experiments and death in scientific laboratories, pharmaceutical, automobile, cosmetic, aeronautical, aerospace multinationals... and dedicated especially to Bobby, Jeannie and Newt.

Silvio Rodríguez - Al final de este viaje / Al final de este viaje (1978)
We are the prehistory that will have the future. We are the remote annals of man. These years are the past of the sky. These years are a certain agility with which the sun draws you into the future. They are the truth or the end, they are god. We are left, those who can smile in the midst of death, in full light.

PS: When I look into the eyes of an ape, all I see in them is sadness and eyes that ask me, why, why? And I can only lower my gaze to the ground, while I shed some tears and feel a deep shame... shame of being human... a "Homo stupidus".

Écureuil roux (Sciurus vulgaris), Neuchâtel, Suisse.
Au mois de janvier, débute la saison des amours chez les écureuils. La femelle n'est féconde que 1 ou 2 jours par cycle. Lorsqu'elle est en chaleur, elle le fait savoir en laissant des traces d'urine et de sécrétions vaginales sur son territoire. De nombreux mâles peuvent se mettre en concurrence, même s’affronter pour elle. Généralement, le plus fort emporte les faveurs de madame. Commence alors la séduction ou le mâle tourne autour de la femelle, s’ensuit de longues poursuites spectaculaires dans les branches, marquées de cris. Au terme de ces réjouissances, l'accouplement peut avoir lieu. Les femelles ont un second cycle de chaleur en mai. Cette deuxième portée naît en juillet. Les jeunes s'émancipent en septembre, au moment où les ressources en alimentation sont les plus abondantes. Cette génération a un taux de survie plus important que la première. En effet, les nouveau-nés ont le temps de faire des réserves de graisse sous-cutanée et de cacher leur nourriture au pied des grands arbres. Seul un quart des écureuils nés atteignent l'âge d'un an. Passé ce cap la longévité moyenne de l'espèce est d'une dizaine d'années.
Écureuil roux (Sciurus vulgaris) Neuchâtel, Suisse.
L’Écureuil roux est un animal solitaire, sauf durant la période de reproduction. Son organisation sociale est fondée sur une hiérarchie de dominance entre mâles et femelles, ou entre individus de même sexe. Les dominants sont généralement plus vieux et plus gros que les dominés. L’Écureuil roux ne défend pas de territoire. Il fréquente un secteur appelé domaine vital où les individus cohabitent. Sa superficie varie en fonction du type d’habitat, de la distribution de la nourriture et du sexe des individus : entre 2 et 20 ha généralement pour les femelles et entre 5 et 30 ha pour les mâles. Le domaine vital des mâles, plus important en période de reproduction, couvre ceux de plusieurs femelles. Il est identifié par des marquages olfactifs (urine, secrétions glandulaires, vaginales pour les femelles), renseignant notamment les mâles sur le stade de reproduction des femelles. Les jeunes demeurent quelques mois à proximité de leur nid de naissance, puis se dispersent pour trouver un secteur propice à leur installation. Les distances parcourues sont en fonction du sexe des individus, et surtout des densités des ressources disponibles. Lorsque la nourriture est abondante, les jeunes s’éloigneront peu de leur lieu de naissance.
Cornflower is an herb.
The dried flowers are used to make medicine.
People take cornflower tea to treat fever, constipation, water retention, and chest congestion. They also take it as a tonic, bitter, and liver and gallbladder stimulant. Women take it for menstrual disorders and vaginal yeast infections.
Some people apply cornflower directly to the eye for irritation or discomfort.
In foods, cornflower is used in herbal teas to provide color.

Certain researchers have speculated that the stereotypical image of the witch "flying" astride the broomstick of a besom may derive from traditions concerning the use of broomsticks or other staves by women to apply psychotropic ointments to their vaginal or anal mucosa.
Capitel proveniente de la Iglesia de San Martín de Frómista, se situaba en el lado interior derecho de la capilla mayor, el ábside central. Debido a la vandálica mutilación que sufrió, salvo parte del cimacio, fue llevado al Museo de Palencia y en su lugar se colocó otro, gracias a la fotografía publicada en 1901 por E. Serrano www.flickr.com/photos/rabiespierre/3668458995/ que pudo servir para hacer la reproducción que actualmente ocupa el original (ver fotografía de abajo).
La mutilación de las dos figuras principales de la cara frontal se explica por una moralidad puritana que condenaba la desnudez tan explícita en un lugar preeminente de la iglesia.
El tema parece ser que está inspirado en el sarcófago romano de La Orestiada que se hallaba en la cercana abadía de Husillos y que actualmente es sin duda el mejor sarcófago romano del Museo Arqueológico Nacional de Madid: www.arssummum.net/details.php?image_id=4537&mode=sear...
Tanto el desnudo de los personajes como la presencia de las serpientes y los pliegues curvados de las telas permiten afirmar que el maestro del capitel de Frómista conoció directamente el sarcófago. Sobre la cronología existen dos interpretaciones, basadas ambas en el testamento de doña Mayor, esposa de Sancho III de Navarra, en todo caso siglo XI.
Un artículo interesante sobre el capitel, una posible interpretación del mismo y el Sarcófago de Husillos es el que cita Dirk abajo www.romanicoaragones.com/Colaboraciones/Colaboraciones043...
Pero mucho más interesante y profundo es el artículo del profesor Francisco Prado-Vilar titulado "Saevum Facinus: Estilo, Genealogía y Sacrifico en el Arte Románico Español" publicado en la revista "Goya" Nº 324, editada por la Fundación Lázaro Galdeano (Julio- Sepiembre 2008).
www.ucm.es/centros/cont/descargas/documento11894.pdf
Para entender este capitel y el existente en Frómista es necesario un breve resumen sobre las ideas sostenidas por este autor:
Ajustándose a la genealogía formal nacida de la imaginería del sarcófago de Husillos, el capitel de Frómista se erige, a la vez, en la más fiel traducción de su mensaje iconográfico a un nuevo contexto cristiano. En efecto, sarcófago y capitel tienen como tema fundamental un crimen familiar y su castigo divino.
La iconografía de este capitel ha permanecido inescrutable durante tanto tiempo debido, en parte, a su precario estado de conservación pues la pieza original, hoy en el Museo Arqueológico Provincial de Palencia, fue mutilada en el curso de la restauración de la iglesia a comienzos del siglo XX. El hecho de que los dos desnudos aparezcan casi totalmente picados mientras las demás figuras quedaron casi intactas denuncia un acto consciente de censura, posiblemente motivado porque la visibilidad de sus genitales debió ser considerada obscena . Curiosamente, habiendo sobrevivido intactos desde el siglo XI, los desnudos no se libraron del fundamentalismo censor de un individuo posiblemente movido por el fervor católico militante que rodeó a la restauración de San Martín de Frómista, y que, "se caracterizó por una incoercible nostalgia por un medievo idealizado". . A la "recristianización" de la sociedad promovida por los poderes episcopales del momento, se sumaba la quot;recristianizacion" de la Edad Media, una actitud que sabemos, por noticias indirectas, que influyó en la restauración de la escultura de esta iglesia. En el Catálogo Monumental de la Provincia de Palencia, Rafael Navarro informaba que "...aunque retirados en la restauración algunos canecillos expresivos de la frecuente salacidad de la arquitectura antigua, los 315 existentes, todos distintos, dan una idea de la inspiración del tracista que imaginó el templo..."".
El capitel que puede verse hoy en el ábside de San Martín de Frómista es una copia que muestra un desnudo masculino y otro femenino, presumiblemente realizada por el escultor Santiago Toledo antes de la mutilación del original.
A complicar el misterio que envuelve a esta verdadera piedra Rosetta del arte románico, viene una fotografía del capitel tomada antes de su mutilación, que muestra uno de los desnudos completo, claramente masculino, pero, lamentablemente solo permite apreciar el otro de forma parcial.
Sin embargo, una simple comparación de la copia con la fotografía antigua sirve para constatar que la realización de aquella se vio mediatizada por la imaginación interpretativa del restaurador, quien acentuó sistemáticamente el bulto del relieve y procedió al acabado y repulido de detalles que permanecían ambiguos debido a los daños que afectaban al original en ciertas zonas. En lo que se refiere a la figura "femenina", uno tiene la impresión de que el restaurador se esmeró en hacer una fallida tentativa de "cirugía reconstructora" engrosando la zona genital e insertando una hendidura, cuyo resultado final tiene la apariencia de un extraño unicum dentro de la iconografía vaginal "medieval".
En realidad, la figura original era, con toda probabilidad, masculina, como la que está a su lado, pero había sido dañada su zona genital, faltándole el pene, al igual que le había sucedido al Orestes central del sarcófago de Husillos.
Además de la evidencia arqueológica que demuestra que los principales protagonistas del capitel son personajes masculinos, el análisis del proceso por el que a las figuras del friso de la Orestiada se les asignaron nuevos papeles en su marco temático cristiano no deja lugar a dudas de que en se representa a Caín matando a Abel. Caín adopta la pose heroica del Orestes homicida, mientras la asustada nodriza del sarcófago se transforma en Abel intentando esquivar el golpe. Más sorprendente es la transformación sufrida por la figura de Egisto, que invierte su posición en el capitel para incorporarse a las filas de las fuerzas demoníacas que emergen del inframundo para castigar a Caín. Esta metamorfosis vino sugerida muy probablemente por el bíblico clamor de la sangre de Abel, que denuncia el fratricidio e induce a Yaveh a maldecir a su asesino:
Entonces el Señor preguntó a Cain: "Dónde está tu hermano Abel?" "
No lo sé", respondió Caín, "¿Acaso yo soy el guardián de mi hermano?"
Y el Señor le dijo: ¿Qué has hecho? ¡Escucha! La sangre de tu hermano está gritando hacia mi desde la tierra". Por eso maldito serás de la tierra, que abrió sus fauces para recibir
de mano tuya la sangre de tu hermano. Cuando la labres, no te dará sus frutos y andarás por ella fugitivo y errante. (Génesis 4: 9-13).
Las Furias del sarcófago, que en la mitología clásica son seres encargados de vengar los crímenes familiares, resurgen en el capitel inalteradas en su función y su significado, como si su infatigable carrera persecutoria las hubiese llevado de la época mítica a la bíblica en un viaje ininterrumpido .
Al igual que en la tragedia griega, donde las Erinias someten a Orestes a una persecución incesante sin la maldición de Dios a Caín: "andarás fugitivo y errante en la tierra".

During my latest evening of Tango dancing, I was wearing a skirt which was just a bit longer than this one. As you may have read in my profile I really enjoy the nakedness and adventure of wearing short skirts and dresses without wearing panties. One of the guys I danced with really swung me around a lot and my boyfriend told me later with a worrying voice that he spotted my vaginal lips at least 4 times. I felt embarassed and aroused at the same time, but I didn't have a lot of time to think about it, because I was asked for the next dance.
It was a guy who was at least twice my age and it surprises me sometime how great vitality and smooth dancing go together with older age. When he complimented me with my sensual lips I didn't know for sure which lips he was referring to. That cafe (The Syndicate) has quite a small dance floor and the next tango was a slow one. It was very crowded and we danced in close embrace. I let my left hand slide down in an easy manner and felt his sturdy bottom move with my body and the music. He obviously felt he could do the same, because I felt how his hand slid down casually onto the back of my skirt.
At that same time I felt his manhood grow in his trousers, while his hand slid down a little lower under the rim of my skirt. My heart started to beat a little higher, but then he slowly and casually moved his hand up under my skirt! I was doubting what to do until I looked him in the eyes. He had this warm, daring and intense look in his eyes and I felt sure that he was quite playful about what he did right then. It was that playfulness that made me relax into his arms and dance on.
He kept looking into my eyes when his hand moved up, his fingers slowly caressing my inner thigh. It was only a matter of (very long) seconds before he touched my bare vaginal lips! His eyes became even more intense, while we were still slowly moving around between the other dancers packed within the cafe. He began feeling and rubbing my lips slowly, while my heart was now bouncing in my chest. I checked if my boyfriend could see what was happening, but I spotted him at the bar, trying to get throug the cue to buy a drink.
I felt how my dancing partner now had a thick and hot rod hidden in his pants and my lower lips felt like they were dripping with wetness from the excitement. I noticed a couple sitting at the edge of the dancing space looking with a big smile and great interest at my skirt. It was only then that I realised how part of my nude butt was exposed to their eyes and so was the hand that was caressing my lips below that butt with lovely intent. Within a second I moved my hips in a sudden turn.
This made it even worse because my partner was not as quick, making my skirt slide up completely, exposing all my completely naked flesh under my skirt for everyone to see. The packed crowd saved me, because I only noticed a few people giving a possible sign that they could see my derriere! And than something strange started to happen. The look in my partner's eyes was still playful but at the same time there was an intensity to it that connected with the intimacy and vulnerability of being naked. Something that I would normally only feel while making love with my boyfriend.
I suddenly felt a total surrender to my sensuality within the dance. I felt eager to be watched by all the men and women within the cafe, while my body was being touched only by the music, my partner and the air that I was breathing. It wasn´t my heart that was pounding anymore. It was my whole body pulsating with sexual energy and it wanted to be seen, enjoyed by admiring eyes that were already undressing me now with their interested looks. It felt like being drunk and I wanted my partner to bluntly expose me as much as possible.
It was as if his eyes were saying "are you sure" and it felt like there was a slightly dangerous touch added to his gaze. It was like he looked right into my heart and I only remember my heart shouting "yes, please, expose me, show me, let me feel naked completely!" It felt like I wanted everyone to see ME. Dancing naked with all these people around me would show them all of ME. Not the cover, the package, but ME.
My body moved in a spasm, pushing my behind even more outwards, as if it was begging for his hands to keep caressing it's halves. As if he could feel my thoughts, my partner now moved his hand casually to the side of my skirt and with a swing in the dance his arm moved my skirt up completely again, now even more than before, right up to my middle, showing my completely naked butt, my naked and shaved vagina, and my naked upper part of my thighs right down to the edge of my hold-up stockings. I was bending over, leaning my breasts against his chest, pushing my butt backwards, positioning my vaginal lips outward as if my body wanted everyone to feel induced to lick me and penetrate me, and I shivered from the fear about the desire that made me dare to go beyond all fear!
It frightened me that I was thrilled! I didn't drink a drop of alcohol and I was completely drunk from the feeling this blunt exposure brought home to me. I saw quite a few gazing faces that noticed my completely bare bottom and naked genitals, and it made me drunk in the surrender that I felt during the few seconds that my partner held up my skirt. As if nothing had happened, he changed the position of his arm and my skirt fell down friveously, while we kept on dancing.
All this had happened in only a few minutes and I'm still trembling when I think of what happened. My boyfriend was one of the gazing faces at the end and that put an end to the excitement. I still have to cope with the not so nice reaction he had and somehow I understand. On the other hand I feel this experience is very important for me and I need to come to terms with it. I wrote this spontaneously, when looking at this picture, giving a comment.
Reading my comment back, it had become so lenghty, I decided to copy the picture of Arnd Butoh on my own stream (with a link back to the sourceof course), as the source of inspiration that made me share this confession and get to terms with what has taken me over recently. This picture makes feel me less alone about my personal experience, knowing other people may have similar experiences and dare to share them here. I'm learning about me and I love and dread it!
The subject came up over dinner...
Normally, the penis of a man is not perfectly straight. Most penis are slight bent and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. There were only rare instances when a man has a penis that has no bents. The curve of the penis can be caused by a lot of factors. The first one, which is genetics, is the most common of them all. Since the genes dictate a man's physical existence, it is no secret that the shape of a man's penis will follow that of his ancestors. Same goes to the other aspects like the size and the color.
More often than not, men's sexuality is defined by their penis. It serves as a tool that satisfies sexual pleasures and desires. Aside from the size, the shape of the penis is also important for men. By far, most men prefer a straight penis over a bent penis. A man does anything just to make sure that the shape of his penis will be the shape of his preference. Above all, the shape of the penis can determine the success of a man while having sex.
That being said...
The discussion went on to Vaginoplasty and Labiaplasty.
It is said that over 75 million women in the USA and UK alone require vaginal rejuvenation. Female sexual gratification is dependant on the amount of friction generated within the vagina.
The Lpill is a blend of natural herbal ingredients meant to reverse the effects of vaginal relaxation without using kegels...

Where: Hospital
Procedure: C-Section
Final Pregnancy Weight: 185lbs.
Two Ups: I love the epidural & room service
Two Downs: the smell of my own burnt flesh & being awake during the whole procedure as the doctors discuss the political candidates (shouldn't they be focusing on me)
Mood: Scared & Sleepy
It became evident that after 20 hours of labor, I would need a C-section. The doctor informed me that even though with the help of pitocin, I still wasn't able to sustain the contractions on my own. The baby was either too big to deliver vaginally or I was too small to push him out. I had endured 3 grueling of hours pushing and nothing, no progress.
At this point, I was exhausted, fatigued, tired and sleep deprived. I wanted him safely delivered and I didn't care by what means. What I wasn't prepared for was going into surgery. My heart was set on a vaginal birth, but the circumstances did not work in my favor. I began to feverishly shake. I was nervous and scared that I would have to be awake during this whole procedure. As I was strolled down the hospital hallway in the gurney, my mind began to race: will the epidural wear off before they begin cutting into me, will there be complications with the delivery, is my baby safe?
It happened so fast. They began with the incision, then I felt pressure in my lower abdomen and a tug. Soon, I heard a gurgling noise like someone trying to breathe, gasp for air. The nurse began to clear my child's airway. Then I heard his cry. At that point, I was relieved and I began to cry. It was the most beautiful sound.
The nurse brought him towards me. She put his forehead to mine and I kissed him. The first thing I said to him was, "I love you." That was the last thing I remember.
The smoker masks the "alarm pheromone" which smells like bananas. If you smell a banana smell when working your hive, it's time to close things up and calmly walk away.
Types of honey bee pheromones
Alarm pheromone
Two main alarm pheromones have been identified in honeybee workers. One is released by the Koschevnikov gland, near the sting shaft, and consists of more than 40 chemical compounds, including isopentyl acetate (IPA), butyl acetate, 1-hexanol, n-butanol, 1-octanol, hexyl acetate, octyl acetate, n-pentyl acetate and 2-nonanol. These chemical compounds have low molecular weights, are highly volatile, and appear to be the least specific of all pheromones. Alarm pheromones are released when a bee stings another animal, and attract other bees to the location and causes the other bees to behave defensively, i.e. sting or charge. The alarm pheromone emitted when a bee stings another animal smells like bananas.[5] Smoke can mask the bees' alarm pheromone.
The other alarm pheromone is released by the mandibular glands and consists of 2-heptanone, which is also a highly volatile substance. This compound has a repellent effect and it was proposed that it is used to deter potential enemies and robber bees. The amounts of 2-heptanone increase with the age of bees and becomes higher in the case of foragers. It was therefore suggested that 2-heptanone is used by foragers to scent-mark recently visited and depleted foraging locations, which indeed are avoided by foraging bees. However, this has recently been proven false. In a new discovery, it was determined that bees actually use 2-heptanone as an anesthetic and to paralyze intruders. After the intruders are paralyzed, the bees remove them from the hive.[6]
Brood recognition pheromone
Another pheromone is responsible for preventing worker bees from bearing offspring in a colony that still has developing young. Both larvae and pupae emit a "brood recognition" pheromone. This inhibits ovarian development in worker bees and helps nurse bees distinguish worker larvae from drone larvae and pupae. This pheromone is a ten-component blend of fatty-acid esters, which also modulates adult caste ratios and foraging ontogeny dependent on its concentration. The components of brood pheromone have been shown to vary with the age of the developing bee. An artificial brood pheromone was invented by Yves Le Conte, Leam Sreng, Jérome Trouiller, and Serge Henri Poitou and patented in 1996.[7]
Drone pheromone
Drone Mandibular Pheromone attracts other flying drones to suitable sites for mating with virgin queens.[8]
Dufour's gland pheromone
The Dufour's gland (named after the French naturalist Léon Jean Marie Dufour) opens into the dorsal vaginal wall. Dufour’s gland and its secretion have been somewhat of a mystery. The gland secretes its alkaline products into the vaginal cavity, and it has been assumed to be deposited on the eggs as they are laid. Indeed, Dufour’s secretions allow worker bees to distinguish between eggs laid by the queen, which are attractive, and those laid by workers. The complex of as many as 24 chemicals differs between workers in "queenright" colonies and workers of queenless colonies. In the latter, the workers’ Dufour secretions are similar to those of a healthy queen. The secretions of workers in queenright colonies are long-chain alkanes with odd numbers of carbon atoms, but those of egg-laying queens and egg-laying workers of queenless colonies also include long chain esters.[9]
Egg marking pheromone
This pheromone, similar to that described above, helps nurse bees distinguish between eggs laid by the queen bee and eggs laid by a laying worker.
Footprint pheromone
This pheromone is left by bees when they walk and is useful in enhancing Nasonov pheromones in searching for nectar.
In the queen, it is an oily secretion of the queen's tarsal glands that is deposited on the comb as she walks across it. This inhibits queen cell construction (thereby inhibiting swarming), and its production diminishes as the queen ages.
Forager pheromone
Ethyl oleate is released by older forager bees to slow the maturing of nurse bees.[10] This primer pheromone acts as a distributed regulator to keep the ratio of nurse bees to forager bees in the balance that is most beneficial to the hive.
Nasonov pheromone
Nasonov pheromone is emitted by the worker bees and used for orientation and recruitment. Nasonov pheromone includes a number of terpenoids including geraniol, nerolic acid, citral and geranic acid.

The spotted hyena (Crocuta crocuta), also known as the laughing hyena, is a hyena species, currently classed as the sole extant member of the genus Crocuta, native to sub-Saharan Africa. It is listed as being of least concern by the IUCN on account of its widespread range and large numbers estimated between 27,000 and 47,000 individuals. The species is, however, experiencing declines outside of protected areas due to habitat loss and poaching. The species may have originated in Asia, and once ranged throughout Europe for at least one million years until the end of the Late Pleistocene. The spotted hyena is the largest known member of the Hyaenidae, and is further physically distinguished from other species by its vaguely bear-like build, its rounded ears, its less prominent mane, its spotted pelt, its more dual purposed dentition, its fewer nipples and the presence of a pseudo-penis in the female. It is the only mammalian species to lack an external vaginal opening. (Wikipedia)

Spotted Hyena
'Spotted hyenas deserve respect not contempt. More often than not, they hunt down their prey rather than scavenge. They are fabulously intelligent, with massive brains and one of the most complex social set-ups of any carnivore. Females dominate males and have no vaginal opening, but they do sport an impressive, fully erectile clitoris'

Many/most Spotted Hyenas I've seen look very unkempt with tangled and muddy fur. This one appeared very clean and spiffy looking...much like someone's pet. I also thought it looked very purposeful as it did a bite check on a small piece of wood.
Thank you for your visit and comments!

From Wikipedia: The spotted hyena (Crocuta crocuta), also known as the laughing hyena, is a hyena species, currently classed as the sole extant member of the genus Crocuta, native to sub-Saharan Africa. It is listed as being of least concern by the IUCN on account of its widespread range and large numbers estimated between 27,000 and 47,000 individuals. The species is, however, experiencing declines outside of protected areas due to habitat loss and poaching. The species may have originated in Asia, and once ranged throughout Europe for at least one million years until the end of the Late Pleistocene. The spotted hyena is the largest known member of the Hyaenidae, and is further physically distinguished from other species by its vaguely bear-like build, its rounded ears, its less prominent mane, its spotted pelt, its more dual-purposed dentition, its fewer nipples and the presence of a pseudo-penis in the female. It is the only placental mammalian species where females lack an external vaginal opening, having a pseudo-penis instead.
The skull of the spotted hyena differs from that of the striped hyena by its much greater size and narrower sagittal crest. For its size, the spotted hyena has one of the most powerfully built skulls among the Carnivora. The dentition is more dual purposed than that of other modern hyena species, which are mostly scavengers; the upper and lower third premolars are conical bone-crushers, with a third bone-holding cone jutting from the lower fourth premolar. The spotted hyena also has its carnassials situated behind its bone-crushing premolars, the position of which allows it to crush bone with its premolars without blunting the carnassials. Combined with large jaw muscles and a special vaulting to protect the skull against large forces, these characteristics give the spotted hyena a powerful bite which can exert a pressure of 80 kgf/cm2 (1140 lbf/in²), which is 40% more force than a leopard can generate. The jaws of the spotted hyena outmatch those of the brown bear in bone-crushing ability, and free ranging hyenas have been observed to crack open the long bones of giraffes measuring 7 cm in diameter.
The spotted hyena is the most social of the Carnivora in that it has the largest group sizes and most complex social behaviours. Its social organisation is unlike that of any other carnivore, bearing closer resemblance to that of cercopithecine primates (baboons and macaques) with respect to group size, hierarchical structure, and frequency of social interaction among both kin and unrelated group-mates. However, the social system of the spotted hyena is openly competitive rather than cooperative, with access to kills, mating opportunities and the time of dispersal for males depending on the ability to dominate other clan-members. Females provide only for their own cubs rather than assist each other, and males display no paternal care. Spotted hyena society is matriarchal; females are larger than males, and dominate them.
The spotted hyena is a highly successful animal, being the most common large carnivore in Africa. Its success is due in part to its adaptability and opportunism; it is primarily a hunter but may also scavenge, with the capacity to eat and digest skin, bone and other animal waste. In functional terms, the spotted hyena makes the most efficient use of animal matter of all African carnivores. The spotted hyena displays greater plasticity in its hunting and foraging behaviour than other African carnivores; it hunts alone, in small parties of 2–5 individuals or in large groups. During a hunt, spotted hyenas often run through ungulate herds in order to select an individual to attack. Once selected, their prey is chased over a long distance, often several kilometres, at speeds of up to 60 km/h.
The spotted hyena has a long history of interaction with humanity; depictions of the species exist from the Upper Paleolithic period, with carvings and paintings from the Lascaux and Chauvet Caves. The species has a largely negative reputation in both Western culture and African folklore. In the former, the species is mostly regarded as ugly and cowardly, while in the latter, it is viewed as greedy, gluttonous, stupid, and foolish, yet powerful and potentially dangerous. The majority of Western perceptions on the species can be found in the writings of Aristotle and Pliny the Elder, though in relatively unjudgmental form. Explicit, negative judgments occur in the Physiologus, where the animal is depicted as a hermaphrodite and grave-robber. The IUCN's hyena specialist group identifies the spotted hyena's negative reputation as detrimental to the species' continued survival, both in captivity and the wild.

This is another Reverse Lense project which I took last afternoon @ my yard.
I have attempted many shots & selected this .
Enjoy!!
Tiva and Tasku met up for a trip to the bluebells.
Tiva continues to have tummy and season issues.
We had a trip to the emergency out of hours vet which was not a good experience.
Tiva limply wagged her tail and I was told she was happily wagging her tail . (clearly he has never met a flatcoat) Eventually he did do a vaginal exam and told me she had a mass.
i went home very upset
I phoned my own vet on Friday morning and was told the vet who had examined her last Saturday was very surprised at this .
Later she went in to see the senior vet who really couldn't feel anything vaginally or rectally. He is confident she does not have a mass but feels that she needs to be spayed as soon as her season finishes
It has been quite a week.
I am exhausted.
For Emma - I Love You.............

Feminist artist Sputniko! (Hiromi Ozaki) created a menstruation machine, which lets one feel the pain of cramps like during menstruation.
And here a link to her menstruation machine video: "Sputniko! - Menstruation Machine, Takashi's Take "
Nicht unrein und zwar hier und jetzt und nicht erst in irgendeinem Jenseits, Himmel (im Sinne von heaven und nicht im Sinne von sky), Totenreich, Paradies,.... Verweise auf ein Jenseits sind Vertröstungen, dienen nur dazu Menschen dazu zu bringen Istzustände zu akzeptieren ohne zu versuchen sie zu verbessern, es ermöglicht die Unterdrückung. (Heinrich Heine "Es ist mehr Verwandtschaft zwischen Opium und Religion als sich die meisten Menschen träumen lassen.", Karl Marx: Religion ist das Opium des Volkes) Was aber, wenn da nichts mehr ist nach dem Tod, wenn da kein besseres Reich kommt, und nach wie vor gibt es keinen Beweis für irgendeine dieser Jenseits-, Paradies-, Totenreichphantasien. Hier und jetzt muß man kämpfen, daß Frauen sich nicht unrein zu fühlen brauchen, daß Frauen nicht stigmatisiert werden. Wenn man sich immer auf ein Jenseits, das mit großer Wahrscheinlichkeit nach nicht existiert, vertrösten hätte lassen, dann hätte sich hier, im Diesseits, das mit großer Wahrscheinlichkeit das einzige ist, was existiert, nie etwas geändert.
Dann gäbe es auch kein Frauenwahlrecht - so wie es im Vatikan nach wie vor -auch im Jahr 2017- kein Frauenwahlrecht gibt.
Während der Zeit des Nationalsozialismus war eine Begehung des Frauentages am 8. März verboten. Stattdessen wurde der 3. Sonntag im Mai zum: „Gedenk- und Ehrentag der deutschen Mütter“ Sozusagen: deutsche Gebärmaschinen statt internationale Frauenrechte.
Und nun kann man nocheinmal nachdenken über: Männer, egal welcher sexuellen Ausrichtung, für die Marienfeiertage zählen, die aber den UN Tag für die Rechte der Frau nicht einmal erwähnenswert finden.
Denn so manch einem, der den 2. Februar als Marienfeiertag (zur Erinnerung 2.Februar: Christliches Fest Mariä Lichtmeß Purificatio Mariae (Bibel: Frau während Regel und nach Geburt unrein - daher Purificatio, Reinigung....) feiert, ist der Frauentag am 8. März (UN Tag für die Rechte der Frau) nicht einmal eine Erwähnung wert....
Wenn Menschen dagegen kämpfen, daß Frauen während der Menstruation als dreckig angesehen und behandelt werden, wenn dagegen gekämpft wird, daß Frauen eingeredet wird, daß sie unrein seien, hat das sehr wohl etwas mit FrauenBEFREIUNG zu tun, hat sehr wohl etwas mit Rechten der Frau zu tun.
Die Stilisierung einer einzelnen Frau zur jungfräulichen Mutter (bis hin zu der Hochstilisierung zur absolut reinen Frau, die nie eine Menstruation hatte) und deren Verehrung in Marienkulten trägt in keinster Weise zur Frauenbefreiung bei, im Gegenteil. Dies als kurze Stellungnahme zu Argumentationen wie "das christentum ist frauenfeindlich (stimmt nur teilweise - s. marienkult, [....]" (wörtl. Zitat Kommentar Fabio Keiner).
Und nun kann man abermals nachdenken über: Männer, egal welcher sexuellen Ausrichtung, für die Marienfeiertage zählen, die aber den Tag für die Rechte der Frau nicht einmal erwähnenswert finden.
