Literalmente, heliozoo, significa animal sol y en este caso es evidente que el protozoo que mostramos hoy lo parece. Se trata de un microorganismo de gran tamaño que corresponde a la especie Actinosphaerium eichhorni. Los heliozoos son protozoos emparentados con las amebas, aunque presentan formas esféricas muy diferentes a éstas, sin embargo están provistos de una especie de pseudópodos que se disponen de manera radial y asemejan espinas, los axopodios. Actinosphaerium presenta numerosas vacuolas y varios núcleos, se alimenta de algas y de pequeños protozoos que quedan almacenados hasta su digestión en las vacuolas. En su estructura se diferencian una parte externa, el ectoplasma formado por grandes vacuolas que se disponen en una o varias capas y otra porción interna, el endoplasma formado por pequeñas vacuolas y varios núcleos. La muestra de hoy procede de una nueva localidad situada en el alto Valle del Oja (La Rioja) y procede de un pequeño manantial situado entre rocas metamórficas.
She made us laugh as she tried to remove the feathers that had stuck to her hooked beak,
What I had not appreciated was that on a number of occasions she would swallow the feathers rather like an owl but as far as I know these hawks do not cast pellets.
Feathers might aid digestion?.
This bald eagle gave me some really nice photo ops and never did fly off. It seems to have some digestion issues. I am not sure what is hanging from its rear but it doesn't look good so I edited it out of the first photo.

Bearded Tits do not belong to the same family of birds that includes Blue and Great Tits. They are more correctly referred to as Reedlings.
Found exclusively in reed beds, they can be frustrating birds to see well as they make their way through the reeds feeding on insects and seeds.
At Westhay Moor NNR, where this male was photographed, they appear on the boardwalk to the Island Hide where they come to ground in early autumn to take grit. This is at the time when they are changing their diet from insects to seeds and is an aid to digestion of this new food source.

October is a good time to see bearded tits at Leighton Moss RSPB.At this time of the year they come out of the dense reedbeds to visit grit trays positioned at convenient viewing areas.The grit is needed by the birds to aid their digestion of their diet of seeds.A beautiful bird to see and photograph.

Wim Delvoye est un artiste plasticien belge, né à Wervik (Flandre-Occidentale) le 14 janvier 1965.
Il vit et travaille à Gand où il a également fait ses études en beaux-arts durant les années 1980.
Wim Delvoye s'est fait connaître pour son installation Cloaca.
Cloaca (présentée pour la première fois en 2000 au musée Mukha d'Anvers), dite « machine à caca » : avec l'apparent sérieux d'un laboratoire scientifique, la machine de Delvoye reproduit le processus de la digestion ; on entre des aliments et, en bout de chaîne, sortent des excréments. Cloaca fonctionne véritablement.
Depuis, Wim Delvoye a proposé au public des œuvres sans lien formel avec Cloaca, mais ouvrant la porte à toutes sortes de réflexions par la juxtaposition d'univers et le contre-emploi. Il fait partie d'une génération d'artistes flamands – Jan Fabre, Alain Platel, Jan Lauwers, Luc Tuymans, Panamarenko ou Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker – qui ont révolutionné l'art contemporain.
Les mélanges constants osés par Delvoye l'inscrivent dans la tradition d'un Brueghel qui lui aussi confrontait le trivial (excréments, alimentation, sexualité) avec le religieux ou le politique.
Ce Flamand de Belgique se veut d'abord un artiste régionaliste, un artiste « ethnique » explorant les présupposés de sa propre culture, un artiste qui s'imagine d'embellir la vie quotidienne par un plaisant décor dans un pays où le modernisme ne serait jamais implanté.
Wim Delvoye is a Belgian visual artist born in Wervik (West Flanders) on 14 January 1965.
He lives and works in Ghent, where he also studied fine arts during the 1980s.
Wim Delvoye became known for his installation Cloaca.
Cloaca (presented for the first time in 2000 at the Mukha Museum in Antwerp), known as the "caca machine": with the seriousness of a scientific laboratory, Delvoye's machine reproduces the process of digestion; Food is entered and, at the end of the chain, excreta are released. Cloaca really works.
Since then, Wim Delvoye has proposed to the public works without any formal link with Cloaca, but opening the door to all sorts of reflections by the juxtaposition of universes and counter-employment. He is one of a generation of Flemish artists - Jan Fabre, Alain Platel, Jan Lauwers, Luc Tuymans, Panamarenko or Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker - who have revolutionized contemporary art.
Delvoye's constant daring mixes it with the tradition of a Brueghel who also confronted the trivial (excrement, feeding, sexuality) with religion or politics.
This Flemish of Belgium wants first of all a regionalist artist, an "ethnic" artist exploring the presuppositions of his own culture, an artist who imagines to embellish everyday life with a pleasant decoration in a country where modernism would not Never implanted.

Anyone who follows my photostream knows that I love and collect 1:12 size miniatures which I photograph in realistic scenes. The artifice of recreating in minute detail items in 1:12 scale always amazes me, and it’s amazing how the eye can be fooled. Part of that artifice requires making sure that everything is in place as if the inhabitants of a room have just stepped out and will return at any moment, and I often spend far more time setting things up and adjusting the position of items, sometime by millimetres, to make it just right.
As well as photographing the miniature room as a whole, I sometimes photograph individual items within the tableau. On occasion it is so I know what is set where in a room if I decide to recreate it later, but more often than not it’s because I think the miniature artisan item deserves its own focus, be it a hand made hat, a hand painted teapot or a realistic biscuit tin containing biscuits.
The theme for “Smile on Saturday” for the 20th of November is “collage”, and whilst I have toyed and made a few different collages, I decided to use this one, to show some of the finer details that go into making a scene realistic. I hope that you like my choice for the theme this week, and that it makes you smile.
The details I have displayed around the main photograph are from top left to top right in an anti-clockwise direction:
A black dyed straw hat with purple roses and black feathers, which was made by an unknown artisan. 1:12 size miniature hats made to such exacting standards of quality and realism are often far more expensive than real hats are. When you think that it would sit comfortably on the tip of your index finger, yet it could cost in excess of $150.00 or £100.00, it is an extravagance. American artists seem to have the monopoly on this skill and some of the hats that I have seen or acquired over the years are remarkable. This hat is part of a larger collection I bought from an American miniature collector Marilyn Bickel.
The shelves of the Welsh dresser in the background are cluttered with different patterned crockery which have come from different miniature stockists both in Australia and the United Kingdom. There are also some rather worn and beaten looking enamelled cannisters and a bread tin in the typical domestic Art Deco design and kitchen colours of the 1920s, cream and green. Aged on purpose, these artisan pieces I recently acquired from The Dolls’ House Shop in the United Kingdom. There are also tins of various foods which would have been household staples in the 1920s (when this scene is set) when canning and preservation revolutinised domestic cookery. Amongst other foods on the dresser are a jar of Marmite and some Oxo stock cubes. All these items are 1:12 size artisan miniatures made by Little Things Dollhouse Miniatures in Lancashire, with great attention to detail paid to their labels and the shapes of their jars and cans. Marmite is a food spread made from yeast extract which although considered remarkably English, was in fact invented by German scientist Justus von Liebig although it was originally made in the United Kingdom. It is a by-product of beer brewing and is currently produced by British company Unilever. The product is notable as a vegan source of B vitamins, including supplemental vitamin B. Marmite is a sticky, dark brown paste with a distinctive, salty, powerful flavour. This distinctive taste is represented in the marketing slogan: "Love it or hate it." Such is its prominence in British popular culture that the product's name is often used as a metaphor for something that is an acquired taste or tends to polarise opinion. Oxo is a brand of food products, including stock cubes, herbs and spices, dried gravy, and yeast extract. The original product was the beef stock cube, and the company now also markets chicken and other flavour cubes, including versions with Chinese and Indian spices. The cubes are broken up and used as flavouring in meals or gravy or dissolved into boiling water to produce a bouillon. Oxo produced their first cubes in 1910 and further increased Oxo's popularity.
Sitting on the table in the foreground of the main photo is a McVitie and Price’s Small Petite Beurre Biscuits tin, containing a selection of different biscuits. The biscuits were made by hand of polymer clay by former chef turned miniature artisan, Frances Knight. Her work is incredibly detailed and realistic, and she says that she draws her inspiration from her years as a chef and her imagination. McVitie's (Originally McVitie and Price) is a British snack food brand owned by United Biscuits. The name derives from the original Scottish biscuit maker, McVitie and Price, Ltd., established in 1830 on Rose Street in Edinburgh, Scotland. The company moved to various sites in the city before completing the St. Andrews Biscuit Works factory on Robertson Avenue in the Gorgie district in 1888. The company also established one in Glasgow and two large manufacturing plants south of the border, in Heaton Chapel, Stockport, and Harlesden, London (where Edith’s father works). McVitie and Price's first major biscuit was the McVitie's Digestive, created in 1892 by a new young employee at the company named Alexander Grant, who later became the managing director of the company. The biscuit was given its name because it was thought that its high baking soda content served as an aid to food digestion. The McVitie's Chocolate Homewheat Digestive was created in 1925. Although not their core operation, McVitie's were commissioned in 1893 to create a wedding cake for the royal wedding between the Duke of York and Princess Mary, who subsequently became King George V and Queen Mary. This cake was over two metres high and cost one hundred and forty guineas. It was viewed by 14,000 and was a wonderful publicity for the company. They received many commissions for royal wedding cakes and christening cakes, including the wedding cake for Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Phillip and Prince William and Catherine Middleton. Under United Biscuits McVitie's holds a Royal Warrant from Queen Elizabeth II.
In the foreground on the table there are several packets of Edwardian cleaning and laundry brands that were in common use in the early Twentieth Century in every household, rich or poor. These are Sunlight Soap, Robin’s Starch, Jumbo Blue and Imp Washer Soap. All these packets were made by Little Things Dollhouse Miniatures in Lancashire. Sunlight Soap was first introduced in 1884 by William Hesketh Lever (1st Viscount Leverhulme) and introduced to the market in 1904. It was produced at Port Sunlight in Wirrel, Merseyside, a model village built by Lever Brothers for the workers of their factories which produced the popular soap brands Lux, Lifebuoy and Sunlight. Before the invention of aerosol spray starch, the product of choice in many homes of all classes was Robin starch. Robin Starch was a stiff white powder like cornflour to which water had to be added. When you made up the solution, it was gloopy, sticky with powdery lumps, just like wallpaper paste or grout. The garment was immersed evenly in that mixture and then it had to be smoothed out. All the stubborn starchy lumps had to be dissolved until they were eliminated – a metal spoon was good for bashing at the lumps to break them down. Robins Starch was produced by Reckitt and Sons who were a leading British manufacturer of household products, notably starch, black lead, laundry blue, and household polish. They also produced Jumbo Blue, which was a whitener added to a wash to help delay the yellowing effect of older cotton. Rekitt and Sons were based in Kingston upon Hull. Isaac Reckitt began business in Hull in 1840, and his business became a private company Isaac Reckitt and Sons in 1879, and a public company in 1888. The company expanded through the late Nineteenth and early Twentieth Centuries. It merged with a major competitor in the starch market J. and J. Colman in 1938 to form Reckitt and Colman.
Sitting atop a stack of neatly folded 1:12 size linens sits a wicker sewing basket. Sitting open it has needles stuck into the padded lid, whilst inside it are a tape measure, knitting needles, balls of wool, reels of cotton and a pair of shears. All the items and the basket, except for the shears, are hand made by Mrs. Denton of Muffin Lodge in the United Kingdom. The taupe knitting on the two long pins that serve as knitting needles is properly knitted and cast on. The shears with black handles in the basket open and close. Made of metal, they came from Doreen Jeffries’ Small Wonders Miniature Shop in the United Kingdom. The blue cotton reel and silver sewing scissors come from an E-Bay stockist of miniatures based in the United Kingdom.
In the foreground on the table there is a packet of Edwardian soap that was in common use in the early Twentieth Century in every household, rich or poor. This is Imp Washer Soap. The packet was made by Little Things Dollhouse Miniatures in Lancashire. Imp Washer Soap was manufactured by T. H. Harris and Sons Limited, a soap manufacturers, tallow melters and bone boiler. Introduced after the Great War, Imp Washer Soap was a cheaper alternative to the more popular brands like Sunlight, Hudsons and Lifebuoy soaps. Imp Washer Soap was advertised as a free lathering and economical cleaner. T. H. Harris and Sons Limited also sold Mazo soap energiser which purported to improve the quality of cleaning power of existing soaps.
Sitting on the large kitchen range in the background is a 1:12 miniature replica of a copper kettle and a steel iron. The kettle’s lid may be removed.
Sitting on the table is a cottage ware teapot. Made by French ceramicist and miniature artisan Valerie Casson, it has been decorated authentically and matches in perfect detail its life-size Price Washington ‘Ye Olde Cottage Teapot’ counterparts. The top part of the thatched roof and central chimney form the lid, just like the real thing. Valerie Casson is renown for her meticulously crafted and painted miniature ceramics.

That dog's constant digestion atrocities have aged me.

In this photo is a green huntsman spiderling (Micrommata virescens) along with its mother. I noticed the spiderlings had vacated their nest and had moulted before leaving it, and assumed they would have fed on their mother. Female spiders often donate themselves to ensure the spiderlings have a good meal before they leave home, actually begining the process of self-digestion to aid their offpsring's consumption of them. This aspect of spider biology is often forgotten amidst all the commentary about the males falling prey to their mates after mating. Here the female has clearly not sacrificed herself for her babies, as she was still active after their dispersal from the nest. I don't know if this is the rule with green huntsman spiders or if she was an exception!
A Risso’s Dolphin pops up in order to splash back down with some force. Why? To communicate? To dislodge parasites? To aid digestion? For fun? The dolphin would not say.

Si estás buscando alternativas a la leche de vaca, la de almendras puede ser una buena y nutritiva opción, tanto para niños como para adultos (e incluso ancianos).
Si las proteínas de origen animal puede ser dañinas por contener un exceso de purinas que puede llevar a ocasionar toxinas innecesarias en el organismo, las de origen vegetal son una opción en general más saludable.
De más fácil digestión, la leche de almendras se presenta además como una alternativa acorde para las personas que sufren de alergias alimentarias. Rica en potasio, buena fuente de calcio y fósforo, aporta buena cantidad de fibras (tanto solubles como insolubles)y de aceite linoleico (beneficioso contra el colesterol malo). Dentro de las vitaminas, destaca su proporción de A, E, B1 y B2.
La preparación casera de la leche de almendras es sencilla: sólo deben pelarse y licuar con agua. Aunque dependerá del gusto de cada uno, por lo general, con unas 15 almendras por vaso será suficiente.
Para pelarlas, se pueden sumergir en agua hirviendo durante un par de minutos. Luego, se deberán licuar las almendras peladas con el vaso de agua. Podrás consumirla al natural, azucarada o con edulcorante, según tus preferencias personales.
Finalmente, destaquemos algunos de las propiedades de la leche de almendras: a nivel cardiovascular, es de ayuda para las personas que sufren de colesterol o triglicéridos elevados; y es adecuada para los sujetos que hayan sufrido cuadros de diarreas o vómitos gracias a su alto contenido de potasio y bajo en sodio.
Otras ventajas incluyen que es de alivio para los casos de gastritis, y que gracias a su buena relación calcio / fósforo es ideal para todas las etapas de la vida; además, protege las paredes intestinales gracias a su alto porcentaje de fibra y ayuda a mejorar el tránsito intestinal.

Flask-shaped pitcher-plant
Nepenthaceae (Tropical Pitcher Plant family)
IUCN: Least concern
Range: This particular variety is found around Nabire, Papua, Indonesia
Nepenthes ampullaria, is unlike other members of its genus, in that the plants are partly carnivorous but mostly detritivores, feeding on plant detritus (leaf litter). The pitchers are actually modified leaves to capture plant and animals for nutrient digestion.

Nepenthes x hookeriana (a natural hybrid)
www.flickr.com/photos/dweickhoff/48783878392/in/photolist...
Etymology
The generic name Nepenthes is from the Greek νηπενθές (nēpenthés), “a drug bringing relief from grief.” A drug of Egypt mentioned in the "Odyssey" as capable of banishing grief or trouble from the mind.
The specific epithet, ampullaria, is from ampulla "flask" in refrence to the flask-shaped pitchers of this unique species.
El nombre de diente de león con el que popularmente se conoce en casi todos los idiomas se debe a la forma de sus hojas recortadas, de forma parecida a dientes agudos y curvos. Sin embargo, otros nombres con los que también se conoce hacen referencia a sus propiedades.En el pasado, el uso del diente de león era para estimular la producción de bilis y de orina. En el siglo XVI se consolida su utilización y se describen sus propiedades diuréticas resultantes de aumentar la producción de orina, y su doble acción sobre el hígado: por un lado estimula la producción de bilis (efecto colerético) y, por el otro, su vaciado desde la vesícula biliar hacia el duodeno, facilitando la digestión de las grasas. Este doble efecto a nivel hepático y renal y su acción suavemente laxante hacen que el diente de león se considere una buena planta depurativa y digestiva.

I've always loved these cute heads, beautiful colours in all the green.
Sweetest to eat if you harvest them when they are starting to flower in summertime.
Both the leaves and the flowers of red clover can be eaten, and they are nice to have in salads.
This flower has long historical traditions like a blood-cleansing herb that also dilutes the blood, promotes digestion and stimulates detoxification of the body through the function of liver and gallbladder.
There is always something to know about flowers.
Always check out how to deal with them yourself if you intend to use them :D

This individual had seemingly swallowed a young Spotted Deer, in any case something large enough to keep it inactive, in this position, one afternoon. I understood that this constrictor needed to wrap itself around a tree, to break down the bones of its prey, to aid with the digestion, but this individual seemed like it had swallowed more than it could crush. However, no sign of the snake the next morning, and hoping it is in a better position to help with its digestion!
Cauvery Wildlife Sanctuary, Aug 2021
Grebes eat their own feathers to slow down digestion.. The eat small fish, brine shrimp and aquatic insects, which have rigid exoskeletons, making them both tough to digest and potentially damaging to the intestines.
The feathers enter a three-part stomach — first a storage chamber, then a gizzard, and lastly a pouch - and form dense balls in both the gizzard and final pouch. This appears to slow the passage of food long enough that the food can be safely liquified. The tough bits are then regurgitated within a ball of feathers, much the way owls spit up pellets of bones from their prey.

“I'd rather sing one wild song and burst my heart with it, than live a thousand years watching my digestion and being afraid of the wet.”― Jack London, The Turtles of Tasman
Previously I had only ever seen these flying or tucked away, high up in the tree canopy, so it was great to be able to have a good look at this Red-faced Mousebird as it climbed about in the top half of a small tree in our hotel grounds. These are fascinating birds, named because they resemble mice as they scurry through the leaves and branches in search of food. The order of Mousebirds is confined entirely to Africa. Bacteria aid digestion of the fruit, leaves, flowers and nectar that makes up their diet, and they are known to sun their bellies after feeding to speed up fermentation.
zenaida caribeña o tórtola zenaida / zenaida dove (Zenaida aurita)
La zenaida caribeña o tórtola zenaida (Zenaida aurita) es un ave columbiformes de la familia Columbidae. Es el ave nacional de Anguila. Suele poner dos huevos.
La tórtola zenaida suele medir entre 28-30 cm y poner dos huevos. Generalmente ser objeto de caza deportiva.
#############################
The zenaida dove (Zenaida aurita) is a member of the bird family Columbidae, which includes doves and pigeons. It is the national bird of Anguilla, where it is commonly (but erroneously) referred to as a turtle dove. It lays two white eggs on a flimsy platform built on a tree or shrub. It also nests in rock crevices and on grassy vegetation if no predators are present. It has been recorded that some birds have up to 4 broods per year. Eggs take approximately two weeks to hatch, and the young chicks typically fledge after only two weeks in the nest. Parents feed the young pigeon's milk, a nutrient rich substance regurgitated from its crop.
These birds forage on the ground, mainly eating grains and seeds, sometimes also on insects. Zenaida doves frequently feed close to water. They often swallow fine gravel to assist with digestion, and will also ingest salt from mineral rich soils or livestock salt licks. It is thought the salt aids in egg formation and/or production of pigeon milk.
