We saw many of these at Yuba Pass. I first spotted them eating the gravel on the side of the road. Perhaps to aid in digestion or something. A first of this species for me :)
Bearded Tit (Panurus Biarmicus) male, on a path next to a reedbed.
The Bearded Tit or Bearded Reedling spends much of its time moving around and feeding in the reedbeds. It comes down to the paths to eat grit which helps it to digest its diet of seeds and invertebrates.

A very rare sighting, the headless shitting goose is a mythical creature of northern Canada. Seeing one is thought to bring luck, riches and good digestion.
This is my first visit to North Carolina. While we spend a fair amount of time exploring museums and tourist attractions, I sneak off into the forests and woodlands every chance I get. There is surprisingly little fungal life even though there is plenty of rotting wood and deep leaf litter. The third important ingredient for fungus is moisture. I think its a little dry still and beginning to get get cold which discourages growth. Spring will likely be better. This species is generally found near dead and dying trees.
The housefly (also house fly, house-fly or common housefly), Musca domestica has a habit of blowing bubbles after they consume food. The process is as follows. They perch on a branch and blow a bubble. Once the bubble reaches some size, they hold it for a while in their mouth. Then they suck it inside.
Though there are no clear explanations with the scientific fraternity. However, one explanation is that the houseflies tend to suck out the nutrients through their proboscis, which appears like a straw or elephant's trunk. There are chances that the nutrient solution sucked in was highly diluted.
So possibly, to release the surplus liquids and make the chyme (consumed food) concentrated, they send the solution out of their
mouth, hold it in the sun and breeze to reduce water and then suck back in. However, this is just a theory that is yet to be proven.
There is a tiny caterpillar just below the housefly, but it has got nothing to do with this fly!
Why, oh why is this Bubble Blowing Fly doing it? It would appear there are a variety of explanations but nobody knows for sure...
Some suggestions from: diptera.info/articles.php?article_id=16
"a. Bubble-blowing may play a role in digestion:
i. Concentrating the fluid through evaporation:
ii. Aerating the fluid so that microbial fauna would be affected to the detriment of obligatory ;
iii. Heating up the fluid by exposure to sunshine.
b. Bubble-blowing is a symptom of a common fly illness.
c. Bubble blowing is a defensive move. Some insects use regurgitated food as a weapon. They try to spread the sticky, noxious liquid over the attacker.
d. Flies do blow bubbles to clean their mouthparts with this fluid, more or less to flush them, and after they are ready they ingest the fluid again.
e. Flies can use bubbling for cooling of overheated body ? thermoregulation."

Ghost signage on a barn in New Trenton, Indiana. There are two ghost signs on top of one another. One is for Mail Pouch Chewing Tobacco and the other is for Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. Dr Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery was a licorice-flavored tonic that reportedly contained quinine, opium, and alcohol, and was advertised as giving men “an appetite like a cow-boy’s and the digestion of an ostrich.” Pierce products were still available as late as the 1970s.

Anclada con su largo pie de muelle Vorticella está bien segura sobre su grano de cuarzo, mientas sus aspas de hilo giran y giran. No es arrastrada en el agua dando vueltas, por las propias corrientes de sus tornados acuáticos.
A diferencia de otros ciliados Vorticella solo muestra una corona de cilios en el extremo de su cuerpo, ya no los necesita para desplazarse porque vive fija sobre el fondo, sobre las algas o sobre cualquier otra superficie sumergida que le pueda servir de soporte para alcanzar los alimentos de los que depende.
Las corrientes que generan los cilios de la corona de Vorticella generan turbulencias que atraen a pequeñas algas y otros diminutos organismos hacia la parte más ancha de su cuerpo de copa, donde se encuentra su boca -citostoma- muchas de estos organismos son devueltos inmediatamente al agua si no pueden servir como alimento, pero si son útiles son englobados en vacuolas esféricas para comenzar su digestión.
La forma del cuerpo, el tamaño, la ornamentación externa y otras características externas son fundamentales para determinar el numeroso grupo de especies que engloba este género. La de hoy, Vorticella convallaria, presenta el cuerpo alargado algo más estrecho que el de Vorticella campanula, y vive de forma solitaria o en grupos, sobre diferentes tipos de soporte bajo el agua.
Vorticella convallaria es un ciliado cosmopolita. Cuando su tallo se estira, su cuerpo se despliega como una flor y bate el agua atrayendo hacia sí a pequeñas algas y otros organismos minúsculos que le pueden servir de alimento. Pero si algo grande o extraño consigue asustarla , los pétalos de Vorticella se recogen sobre su cuerpo al mismo tiempo que el tallo se acorta en muelle, hasta que el peligro desaparece.
Vorticella convallaria tiene tallo y cuerpo de flor, flor de color del agua, transparente como ella y pequeños pétalos de hilo que forman una corona en su extremo. Los pétalos de Vorticella son cilios y baten el agua como las aspas de un molino fabricando remolinos y pequeños tornados en el agua, turbulencias que lavan los fondos del Lago de Sanabria.
Vorticella convallaria Ha sido hallada en unas muestras recogidas el 15 de julio de 2015, en una muestra recogida por Laura, Mª José y Tomás a cinco metros de profundidad, junto a la Isla de Moras en el Lago de Sanabria desde el el catamarán Helios Sanabria, el primer catamarán del mundo propulsado por energía eólica y solar y se ha fotografiado a 400 aumentos con la técnica de contraste de interferencia.

Plant hoppers feed on plant juices and excrete honeydew, a sweet by-product of digestion.
Plant hoppers, ranging in size from 1 cm (0.4 inch) in cooler climates to about 5 cm in the tropics, are not considered serious economic pests. Some species are covered with either a mealy substance or waxy filaments. Members of this family are variously known as fulgorid, lightning leafhopper, and mealy flata.
Tree scale is caused by the digestion of usually rotting wood by scores of different fungal species. As the fungi digest the wood these scales develop on the outer surface of the wood. The scales vary greatly in size color and shape and some can become quite beautiful with alternating layers of color.

Per fortuna sono andato a Cisano, sennò rischiavo di aver problemi di digestione ad Ambivere visto lo schifo che c'era la.
Negli ultimi anni la consapevolezza sui danni provocati dal Glutine sulla salute delle persone è molto cresciuta.
Secondo un sondaggio, pubblicato nel 2013, un terzo degli americani ha deciso di fare cose concrete per eliminare il Glutine dalla propria dieta (Guarda qui il grafico).
Ma l’alimentazione senza Glutine non è soltanto una delle solite mode. Ormai sono tantissimi gli studi che dimostrano i danni gravi che il Glutine provoca sulla salute.
Ecco, di seguito, 6 scioccanti motivi che rendono il Glutine dannoso per la salute e perché devi iniziare subito ad eliminarlo.
1. La Celiachia è in forte aumento, eppure ampiamente non diagnosticata nella maggior parte delle persone che potrebbero esserne affette.
Il Glutine è un complesso proteico contenuto in molti cereali: frumento, farro, segale, orzo, kamut ecc.
E’ composto da due proteine: Gliadina e Glutenina. Fra le due proteine è la Gliadina quella a cui la stragrande maggioranza delle persone sviluppa una reazione di intolleranza allergica.
Quando le farine dei cereali contenenti Glutine si mischiano con l’acqua, questo inizia a formare un legame colloso con parecchie altre proteine e conferisce una proprietà elastica all’impasto, cosa che permette di ottenere, man mano che viene lavorato, il pane.
Non a caso il termine Glutine richiama alla mente il verbo agglutinare, che significa saldare due o più elementi con sostanze adesive, incollare.
Cosa succede nei soggetti sensibili al glutine
Quando il Glutine arriva nel tratto digestivo, entra in contatto con le cellule del sistema immunitario. Le cellule, per errore, lo scambiano per un invasore esterno, un po’ come avviene per i batteri.
Nei soggetti più sensibili al Glutine, accade che, il sistema immunitario inizia a scatenare attacchi contro la sostanza, percepita come estranea e nemica. Nella Celiachia, la forma più acuta e grave di intolleranza al Glutine, il sistema immunitario non si limita ad attaccare la proteina, ma estende il suo attacco anche all’enzima presente nel tratto digestivo, la Transglutaminasi.
Quindi il contatto col Glutine, nelle persone soggette a Celiachia, porta il sistema immunitario ad attaccare la proteina e la parete intestinale, causando carenze nutrizionali, problemi di digestione, anemia, affaticamento, accresciuta difficoltà a contrastare le malattie, maggiore esposizione al rischio di contrarre malattie gravi.
La Celiachia colpisce l’1% della popolazione, con un aumento negli anziani ma, approfondite ricerche, evidenziano che la percentuale della popolazione celiaca è in rapida, costante crescita (Leggi qui gli studi 1, 2).
Bisogna tenere a mente che la maggior parte dei celiaci non ha sintomi intestinali, per questo è molto difficile diagnosticare il disturbo. I sintomi possono riguardare non solo l’affaticamento o l’anemia, ma possono anche mostrarsi in modo più grave, nell’aumento dei rischi di mortalità (Leggi qui gli studi 1, 2).
Si pensa che l’80% dei malati di Celiachia ignora del tutto di essere vittima di questa gravissima intolleranza (Leggi qui lo studio).
Conclusione: la Celiachia colpisce almeno l’1% della popolazione, è in forte aumento, l’80% dei malati non ne è consapevole.

Pianta erbacea che cresce ai bordi delle strade, ma in passato era una importante fonte alimentare. Fiorisce da maggio ad agosto.
Esistono almeno 50 specie di avena; le più comuni in Italia sono l'avena fatua, la sterilis e la barbada.
L'avena è un erba annua, abbastanza rustica, che si adatta facilmente a climi umidi e freddi. Viene coltivata soprattutto a scopo di foraggio, ma trova un ottimo impiego anche nell'alimentazione umana.
Contiene ferro, glutine, amido e materie azotate ad azione stimolante. L'avena è ricca di vitamine e sali minerali ad azione energetica.
Generalmente si utilizzano i semi, raccolti a perfetta maturazione e conservati lontano dall'umidità.

The sarlacc's stomach is lined with vessels that attach themselves to a swallowed victim and maws for quick digestion or breaking apart large prey, whereof the maws close when exposed to bright lights.
The stomach also contains mind-altering neurotoxins which keep victims from struggling and escaping. The toxins induce hallucinations in prey which "suggest that the sarlacc somehow absorbs the intelligence of all its victims, who live on in disembodied torment".
A sarlacc can communicate with its victims through this stolen consciousness:
In one Star Wars short story, an unnamed Jedi woman explains that,
"sarlacci do interesting things with messenger RNA: over the course of millennia, they can attain a sort of group consciousness, built out of the remains of people they've digested."
George Lucas went to great extremes to remove aspects of sex and sexuality from the plot of the Star Wars films, however, Lucas created a "nightmarishly explicit image of threatening female sexuality" in the form of the sarlacc:
"The Jabba episode culminates in an explicit vagina dentata fantasy, as Luke and his pals have to walk a phallic gangplank into the pullulating maw—festooned with long, curved teeth—of the giant sarlacc in its 'nesting place'."
, "Lucas sent his trilogy’s most arresting character Boba Fett to a "death" so inglorious—falling headlong into the vagina dentata of Tatooine’s sarlacc—that its only payoff was a burp gag."
On the path to the Sarlacc, Boba was aware of the large reward for Skywalker's capture. Unfortunately, Jabba would not take it or even allow Fett to negotiate for it. They killed his rancor; they would have to pay the price. Fett was frustrated by this but could conceive of no plan to gain the reward. Luke staged his own rescue and Fett attempted to stop him along with several of Jabba's hapless guards.
While he fired at Luke, in his obsession with capturing the Jedi, he failed to notice Solo. Solo, still semi-blind from hibernation sickness, accidentally activated Fett's manual controls on his jet pack by waving a staff wildly behind him, rocketing the hunter against the sail barge and bouncing down to the sand, rolling right into the waiting maw of the Sarlacc.
Knowledge of this incident eventually made its way into Deal-slang in the shape of the expression "boba-ize", which meant to do something unintelligent which would jeopardize or potentially ruin a deal, implying that falling into the Sarlacc was considered the result of stupidity in the eyes of the speakers of Deal-slang.
But the Sarlacc could never hold Fett. Thanks to his iron will and Mandalorian armor, Fett was able to fight his way out of the beast's belly. After escaping, Fett was found by a group of Jawas who took him to be either a droid or cyborg, never bothering to scan him, and claimed him as their own under the impression he was an unintelligent being. They took him into their sandcrawler, fitted him with a restraining bolt, and went on their way.
The cairn-like pile of stones has a small tray of grit on it. Grouse are "fed" grit to aid digestion.

Avocados are a stone fruit with a creamy texture that grow in warm climates. Their potential health benefits include improving digestion, decreasing risk of depression, and protection against cancer.
Tent caterpillars are common in our area. Soon after they emerge from their eggs, they build white "tents," which enable them to bask in the morning sun. The heat helps their digestion. These babies are eating machines!
The tents are very visible in trees and bushes; we see them everywhere during our dog walks!

About 3% of birds feed on leaves and they are known as folivores. But only a handful of these feed almost exclusively on leaves. The reason why so few birds eat leaves is because flight requires a lot of energy, and leaves don't provide much energy compared with seeds or fruit. Leaf digestion is also slow and usually needs bacteria to help digest the cellulose. This Rufous-tailed Plantcutter (Phytotoma rara) feeds largely on leaves but also eats fruit and insects, and like many herbivorous birds, switches to insects when feeding its chicks. This species has serrated knife-like edges to its bill to help it snip off buds and leaves. Also known as Patagonian Plantcutter it is only found in Chile and Argentina. It is in the Cotinga family, a very diverse South American family that includes Cock-of-the-Rock, Bellbird and Umbrellabird. This male, identified by his large, pure white wingbars and rufous crown was photographed in Torres del Paine in Chile. The rufous tail isn't really obvious but when it flies you see two rufous triangles within a darker T, rather like a Bluethroat, or a Wheatear, except that's white instead of rufous.
However, they will be staying with me another week or so to grow a little. I believe they are actually about 6 weeks old. If they still had their mother, they should stay with her another 2 weeks or so, I think.
I did not even really put these babies up for adoption. I wanted them to grow a bit and I really would have preferred to get the female fixed before adopting her out. However, the vets recommended this family to me as a good home that recently had their elderly cat die. They came to view the older kittens, but the little girls fell in love with these babies, of course.
I told them the kittens have to stay for another week. Though litter trained, they are barely litter trained. Also, their digestion is not stable. Since I switched them from dog food to proper cat/kitten food their bowel movements are not a pretty sight. Hopefully I can get all that sorted out in the next few days.

"Vultures do not hunt live prey, but act as scavengers feeding on the carcasses of dead animals. The acid in their stomachs is highly corrosive, facilitating the digestion of decomposing carcasses infected with diseases such as anthrax, cholera, botulinum toxin, and rabies that would be lethal to other scavengers."

What is it about electronic music that makes it impossible for some to stand still? What is it about country music that makes others want to throw wherever the sound is coming from out the nearest window? What is it about 432 Hz that makes us feel so relaxed?
Music is a force to be reckoned with. Certain songs bring you to tears while others get you exhilarated and inspired for a once dreaded workout. People create playlists for when they’re downhearted, happy and almost every emotion in-between.
Music affects more than your psyche, as well. It is also known to affect internal functions like blood pressure, speed or slow down your heart rate, reduce anxiety and even help with digestion, amongst many other things. What most people don’t know though is how it does this. I mean, what is music made of? What properties make up the landscape of sounds that create a song?
Well in short, it's all about frequencies and, the way we feel, the way the brain responds when we listen, depends on the combination of frequencies in the track. This is known as the frequency response This simple theory will help you understand the fuss surrounding the slightly more complicated theory of the power of 432 Hz. The Earth’s Heartbeat (The Schumann Resonance) To understand this whole 432 Hz thing, we need to first learn about the Schumann Resonance, which will ultimately explain this number’s importance. German physicist Winfried Otto Schumann documented the Schumann Resonance in 1952.
He understood that global electromagnetic resonances exist within the cavity between the Earth’s surface and the inner edge of the ionosphere and are excited and activated by lightning.
He determined that the frequency of these electromagnetic waves are very low, ranging anywhere from 7.86 Hz to 8 Hz.
This frequency is essentially the Earth’s heartbeat; the frequency the Earth beats at. Now, 432 Hz resonates with the frequency of 8 Hz. And here’s how… On the musical scale where A has a frequency of 440 Hz, the note C is at about 261.656 Hz.
On the other hand, if we take 8 Hz as our starting point and work upwards by five octaves (i.e. by the seven notes in the scale five times), we reach a frequency of 256 Hz in whose scale the note A has a frequency of 432 Hz. This frequency, which is at the top end of the Theta range and at the start of the Alpha range, makes us feel very relaxed but conscious and open to intuitive learning. Listening to a concentrated recording of music at this frequency, like a binaural beats track, will synchronize (entrain) the brain to this state and induce the aforementioned effects.
Think for a moment about all the frequencies that travel through your brain in a given day: cell phones, Wi-Fi, radio and microwaves. All these exist at different frequencies and pull our brain from one frequency to the next. The brain is on a constant yo-yo, being pinged at by different frequencies: it’s no wonder these devices emitting artificial electromagnetic radiation have been linked to cancer, depression and insomnia. So it makes sense that if we spent more time being attuned to the natural electromagnetic pulses of the earth (the heartbeat of Mother Nature) – at 432 Hz – we would, in turn, feel more centered, balanced, conscious and peaceful. ✓ Try Our 432Hz Meditation Today! 432 Hz Vs the Commercial Standard 440 Hz Okay, so now we understand that, why the hell isn't all music tuned to 432 Hz! Well, it has been during some periods, and many greats have lobbied for it, but it didn't work out that way. And here's why…
According to music theory, A=432 Hz is mathematically consistent with the universe. This is known as Verdi’s ‘A’ – named after Giuseppe Verdi, a famous Italian composer.
Verdi and many other musicians, like Mozart, tuned their music to this frequency because of its healing energy and the natural ‘feel good’ properties it evoked in the audience. In fact, Verdi wrote to the Congress of Italian Musicians to have 432 Hz approved as the standard tuning. Subsequently, this was unanimously approved in 1881 and recommended further by physicists Joseph Sauveur and Felix Savart, as well as by the Italian scientist Bartolomeo Grassi Landi. However, it wasn't enough. Even though this was approved in Italy at the time, music is not tuned at 432 Hz as standard today. This is because The American Federation of Musicians accepted the 440 Hz as the standard pitch in 1917. Then, in 1940, the United States introduced 440 Hz worldwide. London followed suit, and in 1953 440 Hz was approved as the general tuning standard for musical pitch there. What? I know. Weird. Since then, 440 Hz has since stood the test of time, despite geniuses like Verdi and many great producers and composers agreeing that this frequency is disharmonic because it has no scientific relationship to the physical laws that govern our universe. Historical Use of 432 Hz: Ancient Greece, Egypt & Tibet Further evidence of a 432 Hz preference is found in ancient Greece, where instruments associated with Orpheus – the God of Music – were tuned at 432 Hz. And get this, according to international researcher and musician Ananda Bosman, the majority of instruments unearthed from ancient Egyptian sites are tuned to, yes, you guessed it, A=432 Hz! The evidence doesn’t stop there, either.
Using a Korg Tuner, like this one, sound researcher Jamie Buturff discovered that many CD recordings of Tibetan monks’ singing bowls were tuned at 432 Hz. This is undoubtedly because of the frequency's direct link to Mother Nature and natural ability to make people relax for meditative purposes. 432 hz music ✓ Experience Our 432Hz Meditation Today!
432 Hz Conspiracy Theories The mathematical theory behind 432 Hz and its endorsement by famous musicians cannot be doubted, neither can the fact that the Earth is tuned at this frequency. However, the Internet, like it does with so many things, has injected this science with mystery, sparking a number of conspiracy theories. It's not surprising though. Considering that musical greats and ancient societies preferred 432 Hz, but the US and UK ignored this and chose 440 Hz, it was bound to make people suspicious. Most theories centre around the belief that the 440 Hz frequency was deliberately adopted by governments/regimes as a way to manipulate and control the masses, making then lethargic, often borderline depressed and therefore easily influenced, Perhaps the most popular conspiracy theory is that of Nazi Germany. It is suggested that the regime decided to adopt 440 Hz as standard, avoiding 432 Hz at all costs and developing other influential frequencies alongside it designed to assist in the control of people's minds.
Joseph Goebbels, who served as a prime minister of propaganda for the German Third Reich, and whose job was to spread the Nazi message, supposedly directed this mission.
He apparently used music containing concentrated 440 Hz frequencies and others to induce fear and hostility in the masses. People listening to this music were essentially prisoners of their own aggressive consciousness.
While this certainly is an interesting theory, there is no proof to back up this claim. Why You Need More 432 Hz Music in Your Life It is no surprise that when listening to the same music tuned at the two different frequencies (432 Hz and 440 Hz), most people say they feel a sense of relaxation after having listening to the 432 Hz version. However, the average person, distinguishing between the two by ear would be difficult, and on a first listen the effects might not be that pronounced.
Over time though, you will naturally feel more pleasant listening to 432 Hz music instead of 440 Hz – because your brain will become attuned to the frequency of the Earth. 440 Hz, despite being forced upon us as a music tuning pitch standard, is not in harmony with the frequency of the Earth. It is alien to us as a species. We are part of Mother Nature, and therefore playing the brain music that isn't tuned at this frequency over a prolonged period of time will of course make you feel out of sync.
Could this be the reason that certain types of music cause behavioural issues and intense negative emotional reactions in some people? Possibly. Of course, a person might not realise that they are being affected by the frequency. Every day you hear music tuned at 440 Hz, so it is unlikely that you would stop and think, I feel quite agitated and out of sorts lately; must be all that 440 Hz music. But the reality is that it could well be the reason for days when you can't quite place why you feel imbalanced and misaligned with life. Humans are a part of nature like every other animal and plant species, so it makes absolute sense that aligning your energy with the Earth will naturally make you feel more peaceful and happier. We all know music has healing properties: Music therapists use music to help restore memory in Alzheimer’s patients, improve basic motor skills in stroke victims and help many more suffering from a range of different things. We also know that listening to specific frequencies in concentrated amounts, entrains the brain to specific states of well-being. And all the evidence, scientifically from nature, mathematically from music theory and endorsed by the likes of Verdi and Mozart, points towards the fact that 432 Hz is an extremely powerful tuning frequency, from which instruments should be tuned. For this reason, we have produced our own 432 Hz binaural beats meditation, which you can use to attune your brain to the Earth's frequency for increased well-being. Not only will you feel a calming effect after listening, regular listening will decrease feelings of stress and anxiety and in turn promote natural healing and a deeper connection with all sentient beings and the world at large. It's time to tune yourself to the heartbeat of the planet.

Gather ’round, kids. Those of you with tinfoil hats may wish to ensure that they’re fitted snuggly. What I’m about to tell you will shake your faith in all the music you’ve heard in your life.
If you look down the right paths, it becomes clear that governments and various security apparatuses have used music to control us using music. All the music of the West that’s based on the standard 12-tone scale is used for the management of crowds as well as thought control.Let’s begin with some music theory. If musical performances were to sound the same the world over, some standardization was required. As early as 1885, the Music Commission of the Italian Government declared that all instruments and orchestras should use a tuning fork that vibrated at 440 Hz, which was different from the original standard of 435 Hz and the competing 432 Hz used in France.
In 1917, the American Federation of Musicians endorsed the Italians, followed by a further push for 440 Hz in the 1940s.With the help of Verdi, 432 Hz appeared as a reference at the end of the 19th century. In 1939, gear change: the International Federation of National Standards Associations, now known as the International Organization for Standardization, decided on a standard pitch at 440 Hz. This decision was ratified a few years later at an international conference in London in 1953, despite protests from Italians and French people, who were attached to Verdi's 432 Hz. Finally, in January 1975, the 440 Hz pitch became a standard (ISO 16:1975), which subsequently defined its use in all music conservatories. The 440 Hz frequency has therefore won the institutional battle, becoming an international standard.
This hegemony, and the dates on which it solidified, did not fail to provoke a reaction from conspiracy fighters of all kinds. Indeed, the promulgation in 1939 of the 440 at the expense of the 432 led to a musical coup d'état by the Nazis - the Germans had very early, around 1700, chosen the 440 Hz. With Hitler's desire to rebuild the great lost Germanic empire, music was instrumentalized, becoming a spearhead of this lost desire for greatness. Perhaps, as Amaury Cambuzat wisely points out, "they were based on a statement by Plato: if you want to control the people, start by controlling their music. The Nazis having proven their ability to recover and their obsession with imposing standards (as they adopted the swastika symbol)...". Music would therefore only be a collateral victim.There is no international conspiracy to prefer 440Hz to 432, but conspiracy theories are getting out of hand. With calculations that Nostradamus would not deny, some "specialists" are having a field day on the Web. The 432Hz would thus be "the setting that makes the golden reason of the PHI universe vibrate and unifies the properties of light, time, space, matter, gravity and magnetism with biology, the code of DNA and consciousness. When our atoms and DNA begin to resonate in harmony with the spiral pattern of nature, our sense of connection to nature is said to be "enlarged". The number 432 is also reflected in the reports of the Sun, the Earth, the Moon, the precession of the equinoxes, the Great Pyramid of Egypt, Stonehenge, Sri Yantra and many other sacred sites," says Esprits Science Métaphysiques.com. This galimatias, which puts DNA and consciousness on a scientific equal footing, brews up a delirious mysticism, proposes clever calculations that would almost prove that 432 is God's other name. In 1953, a worldwide agreement was signed. Signatories declared that middle “A” on the piano be forevermore tuned to exactly 440 Hz. This frequency became the standard ISO-16 reference for tuning all musical instruments based on the chromatic scale, the one most often used for music in the West. All the other notes are tuned in standard mathematical ratios leading to and from 440 Hz.
This tone standard is now universally accepted, which is why a piano in Toronto sounds exactly the same as a piano in China.
Weirdly, no one can say for sure why this frequency was chosen in the first place. In fact, there those among us who vehemently disagree with this standard. In fact, they consider the 440 Hz middle “A” to be an abomination against nature. Adherents to this theory claim that a more “natural” frequency for middle “A” is 438 Hz. Others believe that the correct middle “A” is 432 Hz (also known as Verdi’s A) because it has “a pure tone of math fundamental to nature” and is “mathematically consistent with the patterns of the universe, vibrating with Phi, the Golden Ratio. They point to how this pitch can be connected to everything from nautilus shells to the works of the ancients, including the construction of the Great Pyramid. Furthermore, 432 Hz resonates with 8 Hz (the Schumann Resonance), the documented fundamental electromagnetic “beat” of Earth. It just feels better. Research says that music tuned from this frequency is easier to listen to, brighter, clearer, and contains more inherent dynamic range. As a result, music with this tuning need not be played at higher volumes and thus reduces the risk of hearing damage.If the importance of musical frequency remains undeniable, since the human body is intrinsically sensitive to its environment, wanting to discern a pitch superior to all is ineptitude. Amaury Cambuzat remains convinced "that none of these tuning fork frequencies, whether 440 Hz or others, is absolute. This frequency would have to be continuously modulated and modified according to places, seasons, and so many other biological factors to be able to approach a "perfect vibration" frequency. Again, assuming that the latter exists. 432 Hz could become the majority frequency nowadays but certainly not universal. To affirm such a theory, it would be necessary to deny that everything is in motion, in constant evolution, not to take into account the peoples who rely on their traditional way of singing and playing their instruments in direct relation with their senses, their culture and what surrounds them, and certainly not on a standard pitch at 432 or 440 Hz". The more radical among middle “A” haters insist that the true frequency should be 528 Hz because it’s a “digital bio-holographic precipitation crystallization [and] miraculous manifestation of diving frequency vibrations.” I have no idea what that means. Here’s where the conspiracy comes in. There is allegedly something sinister and evil about 440 Hz. It is said that the Rockefeller Foundation had an interest in making sure the United States adopted the 440 Hz standard in 1935 as part of a “war on consciousness” leading to “musical cult control.” Without going too far down this rat hole, this theory says that tuning all music to 440 Hz turns it into a military weapon. I quote from one of the many online articles on the subject: “The monopolization of the music industry features this imposed frequency that is ‘herding’ populations into greater aggression, psychosocial agitation, and emotional distress predisposing people to physical illnesses and financial impositions profiting the agents, agencies, and companies engaged in the monopoly.” Going a little deeper, we end up at the doorstep of the Nazis. It is said that propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels insisted that on 440 Hz tuning in Germany because he believed it made people think and feel in specific ways, making them “a prisoner of a certain consciousness.” And if you’re trying to mobilize the population for Der Fuhrer, that’s exactly what you want, right? There’s more from the Tinfoil Headphones crowd: “The powers that be are successfully lowering the vibrations of not only the young generation but the rest of us as well. These destructive frequencies entrain the thoughts towards disruption, disharmony, and disunity. Additionally, they also stimulate the controlling organ of the body — the brain — into disharmonious resonance, which ultimately creates disease and war.” There’s something to think about the next time you pop in some earbuds. Does listening to music make you feel more warlike and diseased? I’ve also been told that the different effects these frequencies have on our chakras. Songs tuned to 440 Hz work on the third eye chakra (the “thinking”) while 432 Hz stimulates the heart chakra (the “feeling”). Therefore, 432 Hz music increases the spiritual development of the listener. It may even have healing properties.
There are numerous organizations advocating a universal switch to 432 Hz, but that would involve upsetting worldwide standards, not to mention the construction and re-tuning of millions of musical instruments. Nice idea, but it ain’t gonna happen. If that idea stressed you out, please meditate on this special 432 Hz music.If many artists would have set their frequencies at 432 Hz like Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin or John Lennon (very strong presumptions still weigh on Imagine), their choices did not derive from an obsession for purity, perfection or the so-called superiority of one pitch over the other but only from a research, an artistic curiosity that experiments and decompartmentalizes the norms to better embrace their diversity.

The building is designed as a cultural and residential complex.[2] The original 1966 brick façade of the Kaispeicher A, formerly a warehouse, was retained at the base of the building. On top of this a footprint-matching superstructure rests on its own foundation exhibiting a glassy exterior and a wavy roof line. About one thousand glass windows are curved.[17] The building has 26 floors with the first eight floors within the brick façade. It reaches its highest point with 108 meters at the western side.[2] The footprint of the building measures 120,000 m2. A curved escalator from the main entrance at the east side connects the ground floor with an observation deck, the Plaza, at the 8th floor, the top of the brick section. The Plaza is accessible by the public. It offers a view of Hamburg and the Elbe. From the Plaza the foyer of the concert hall can be reached.
The Elbphilharmonie has three concert venues. The Great Concert Hall can accommodate 2,100 visitors whereby the performers are in the center of the hall surrounded by the audience in the vineyard style arrangement. The acoustics were designed by Yasuhisa Toyota who installed about 10,000 individually microshaped drywall plates to disperse sound waves.[17] The Great Concert Hall contains a pipe organ with 69 registers built by Klais Orgelbau. The Recital Hall is intended for the performance of recitals, chamber music and jazz concerts; it can hold an audience of 550 people.[2] In addition, there is the Kaistudio that allows for 170 visitors and is intended to serve educational activities.[17] The consultant for the scenography of the concert hall was Ducks Scéno.
The easternmost part of the building is rented by Westin as the Westin Hamburg Hotel that opened on 4 November 2016.[18] The hotel offers 244 rooms between the 9th and 20th floors. The lobby in the 8th floor can be accessed from the Plaza. The upper floors west of the concert hall accommodate 45 luxury apartments. The complex also houses conference rooms, restaurants, bars, and a spa. A parking garage for 433 cars is part of the building complex as well.
This crab was ensnared by a sea anemone, bad for crab. Slow digestion awaits, good for anemone. Mendocino Coast, California
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.
When digestion is complete, the worm's mouth serves as its anus!

Hammerhead Flatworm – 2020SEP25 – Charlotte, NC
Going out for my annual ringless honey mushroom harvest (cf. my albums 2018AUG23 & 2018AUG22), I saw something else.
Something definitely toxic, terrestrial, and considered terrifying...
...A hammerhead flatworm native to tropical and subtropical regions but that has become invasive worldwide.
Picking the mushroom cap with the hammerhead worm, I went inside to get my cell phone camera, which I could hold using one hand to capture images, keeping an eye on the other hand with the wriggly worm slithering over the mushroom cap
...and then I learned this about it after I went and put it back!
Hope you enjoy the 34% of 49 captures I took this drizzly day!
DORMIRE
Le ore di riposo e la qualità del sonno sono caratteristiche molto soggettive, che cambiano da persona a persona e possono subire un'evoluzione in relazione all'età o per l’influenza di fattori ambientali e sociali: vivere e dormire in un posto inospitale o sgradito, infatti, diminuisce la quantità e la qualità del sonno.
Chi svolge lavori stressanti o di grande responsabilità, dorme generalmente di meno, anche a causa delle maggiori preoccupazioni.
Dormire poche ore, di per sé, non è un problema: ciascuno dorme in base alle sue necessità. Ma se una persona riesce a dormire solo per un numero di ore minore rispetto a quello che sente come necessario, allora con il tempo accumulerà un "debito di sonno" sempre più ingente, in grado di influenzare la sua attività quotidiana, il suo umore e la qualità della sua vita.
Il sonno è quindi, per l’organismo, un momento essenziale di riposo e di benessere: favorisce infatti tutti i processi di rigenerazione e crescita e permette di fissare nella memoria le esperienze fatte durante la veglia.
Dormire bene è importantissimo e per migliorare la qualità del sonno ecco una serie di regole da seguire:
andare a dormire ogni sera e alzarsi ogni mattina alla stessa ora, anche durante il fine settimana, e indipendentemente da quanto si è dormito di notte;
se apriamo gli occhi prima che suoni la sveglia, alzarsi dal letto e iniziare la propria giornata;
non dormire di più la mattina, se si è dormito poco di notte;
non fare "pisolini" durante il giorno;
andare a letto solo quando si è assonnati;
se non si riesce a dormire, è preferibile non rimanere a letto: meglio alzarsi e dedicarsi ad attività rilassanti;
cercare di rilassarsi il più possibile prima di andare a letto;
se si ha fame all'ora di andare a dormire, mangiare qualcosa di leggero, per evitare problemi di digestione;
dormire in un letto comodo, in una camera da letto protetta quanto più possibile dai rumori, ad una temperatura ambiente corretta;
mangiare ad orari regolari, evitando pasti abbondanti in prossimità dell'ora di andare a letto;
non bere bibite contenenti caffeina o alcolici prima di coricarsi e non fumare;
fare con regolarità un'attività fisica durante il giorno, soprattutto di pomeriggio.
