Body Functions That Temporarily Continue After Death

The body going back in a matter of minutes, hours, days or even weeks after his death. Yes, the article is not intended for people with weak stomachs.
01. The growth of hair and nails
The growth of hair and nails is more of a technical function. The body no longer produces fabrics for the growth of hair and nails, but they both continue to “grow” and after his death. In fact, the skin loses moisture, and just recedes, exposing the hair and nails seem more compelling long. Since we measure the length of the hair and nails from their ends, to the point where the skin starts, then when the skin is receding, they begin to seem longer.
02. Brain activity (using medications)
One side effect of modern technology is the erosion of time between life and death. The brain can almost completely die, but the heart can continue to pump blood. Or if your heart stops, the lungs stop breathing, and people have already died, most doctors will announce the fact of death, only a few minutes later, when the brain dies. These minutes after cardiac arrest brain uses for so desperately trying to find the oxygen and nutrients necessary for the life of the brain. Until such time as they lead to a lack of irreversible changes in the brain, which does not help, even restarting the heart. It is a state of irreversible damage to the use of certain drugs in certain circumstances can be extended even for a few days. In theory, this could give doctors a chance you get, but no guarantees.
03. The growth of skin cells
This is another function, where different parts of the body die at different rates. Although the cessation of blood flow can kill brain for a few minutes, other cells not in need of constant care. Skin cells, which are used to living on the edge of the body, get everything you need through osmosis, and may remain alive for several days. Well, they have no brain, or they, the poor and doomed, it would be very sorry.
04. Urination
Urination seems to us, – an arbitrary function. And we are mostly right, except when well, very funny. Refraining from urinating, however – an involuntary function. We never even have to think, because it is always responsible for a certain area of the brain. This is the site which is occupied by the regulation of respiration and heart of man, which is one of the reasons why people are prone to involuntary urination while intoxicated. Inhibited the part that supports the bladder sphincter closed. (More alcohol will stop work center that regulates breathing and heartbeat, which is one of the arguments about the dangers of excessive alcohol consumption). Although rigor mortis causes the muscles stiffen, it comes only a few hours after death. Immediately after death the muscles relax, causing the post-mortem urine.
05. Defecation
We all know that in times of emotional stress the body gets rid of wastes, often in front of others or of the cameras. The body relaxes certain muscles, and the situation is … growing. In the case of a dead body, go the whole affair promotes gas produced inside the body. This can happen after a few hours after death. Hours. Taking into account that the fetus can also empty the gut in the womb (it’s true!), It can be both the first and the last thing that we do in life. Makes you look at things broadly, is not it?
06. Digestion
It turns out that when you die, except that you select the material you are actively doing something else. Or at least something that does something else. We forget that we divide our bodies with lots of other creatures, many of which are useful. The bacteria inside your gut does not die just because you died. While many of them belong to parasites, some of them are great aides digestion and do the work for us. They continue to blow, even when we have nowhere to deader. Others eat the contents of our intestines, releasing more gas advancing the case that inspired all of us disgusted in the sixth paragraph.
07. Erection and ejaculation
When the heart ceases to drive the body to the blood, it is accumulated in all areas of the body that are at the bottom. Sometimes people die standing up, and sometimes – lying face down. Probably anyone here have enough capacity to orient in space, to understand what kind of accumulation of blood that would condone. Meanwhile, the relaxation of muscles after death, which was mentioned, does not last forever. Certain types of muscle cells are activated by calcium ions. Once activated, the cells consume energy, deriving from a calcium ions. After the death of the membrane becomes more permeable to calcium, and the cells do not spend on the ejection of ions out so much energy, so the muscles contract. This leads to rigor mortis, and can cause ejaculation. So really it is. Now, let’s no longer going to come back to this.
08. The movement of the muscles
Even if the brain has died, the remaining parts of the nervous system can remain active. The nurses reported their observations of reflexes, implying the transfer of nerve signals in the spinal cord, not brain, which leads to a post-mortem muscle cramps and spasms. Some even say that they saw the death of the surface motion of the chest.
09. Vocalization
Our bodies are in essence – the bags of gas and liquid, supported by the bones (which are also filled with liquid). Decay occurs when the bacteria are taken to work, and the share of gas increases. Because we carry most of the bacteria in our body, the amount of gas inside increases. We have presented a variety of ways in which it emerges. One is a path through the trachea. As rigor mortis extends to the muscles that are responsible for the operation of the vocal cords, all taken together leads to a rather eerie sounds emanating from non-living bodies. People hear wafting from the dead moaning, sighs and squeaks, but I do not understand why they remain in place to confirm that published their body is actually dead, instead of what would have wet his pants and flee for their lives.
10. Childbearing
Good God. The worst scene from “Twilight” and next to it was not. At a time when people are dead like flies, a number of women dying during pregnancy, and sometimes – when it was too cold to bring them to the ground. This has created a charming notion: “to give birth in a coffin.” Accumulate within the body of the gases in conjunction with the softening of the tissue was drawn, as mentioned, the expulsion of the fetus (non-viable, approx. From the body. Such cases were rare, and overgrown with a lot of speculation, but documented in the days when there was no corresponding embalming and rapid burial. Sounds like something from a book by Edgar Allan Poe, but this really took place. And this is another argument in favor of all of us rejoice that we live in today’s world.

HORSE --- A MAGNIFICENT CREATION OF ALLAH

  



 
 

 





 

 

 

 

     The Horse is one of two extant subspecies of Equus ferus, or the wild horse. It is an odd-toed ungulate mammal belonging to the taxonomic family Equidae. The horse has evolved over the past 45 to 55 million years from a small multi-toed creature into the large, single-toed animal of today. Humans began to domesticate horses around 4000 BC, and their domestication is believed to have been widespread by 3000 BC. Horses in the subspecies caballus are domesticated, although some domesticated populations live in the wild as feral horses. These feral populations are not true wild horses, as this term is used to describe horses that have never been domesticated, such as the endangered Przewalski's horse, a separate subspecies, and the only remaining true wild horse. There is an extensive, specialized vocabulary used to describe equine-related concepts, covering everything from anatomy to life stages, size, colors, markings, breeds, locomotion, and behavior.
     Horses' anatomy enables them to make use of speed to escape predators and they have a well-developed sense of balance and a strong fight-or-flight instinct. Related to this need to flee from predators in the wild is an unusual trait: horses are able to sleep both standing up and lying down. Female horses, called mares, carry their young for approximately 11 months, and a young horse, called a foal, can stand and run shortly following birth. Most domesticated horses begin training under saddle or in harness between the ages of two and four. They reach full adult development by age five, and have an average lifespan of between 25 and 30 years.
     Horse breeds are loosely divided into three categories based on general temperament: spirited "hot bloods" with speed and endurance; "cold bloods", such as draft horses and some ponies, suitable for slow, heavy work; and "warm bloods", developed from crosses between hot bloods and cold bloods, often focusing on creating breeds for specific riding purposes, particularly in Europe. There are more than 300 breeds of horse in the world today, developed for many different uses.
     Horses and humans interact in a wide variety of sport competitions and non-competitive recreational pursuits, as well as in working activities such as police work, agriculture, entertainment, and therapy. Horses were historically used in warfare, from which a wide variety of riding and driving techniques developed, using many different styles of equipment and methods of control. Many products are derived from horses, including meat, milk, hide, hair, bone, and pharmaceuticals extracted from the urine of pregnant mares. Humans provide domesticated horses with food, water and shelter, as well as attention from specialists such as veterinarians and farriers.
Lifespan and life stages

Depending on breed, management and environment, the modern domestic horse has a life expectancy of 25 to 30 years.Uncommonly, a few animals live into their 40s and, occasionally, beyond.The oldest verifiable record was "Old Billy", a 19th-century horse that lived to the age of 62. In modern times, Sugar Puff, who had been listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's oldest living pony, died in 2007 at age 56.
Regardless of a horse or pony's actual birth date, for most competition purposes a year is added to its age each January 1 of each year in the Northern Hemisphere and each August 1 in the Southern Hemisphere.The exception is in endurance riding, where the minimum age to compete is based on the animal's actual calendar age.


















11 Hidden Images Embedded Into Songs

     A spectrogram is a time-varying spectral representation (forming an image) that shows how the spectral density of a signal varies with time. Also known as spectral waterfalls, sonograms, voiceprints, or voicegrams, spectrograms are used to identify phonetic sounds, to analyse the cries of animals; they were also used in many other fields including music,sonar/radar, speech processing,seismology, etc. The instrument that generates a spectrogram is called a spectrograph.    

Spectrogram of violin playing.

Spectrogram of a male voice saying 'nineteenth century'.
     A spectrograph is an instrument or program that is used to visualize the sound spectrum (a more detailed explanation can be found here). Additionally, there are also programs (such as Coagula and Metasynth) that allow users to easily convert any image into an audio file (you can even find a video tutorial on YouTube).
     Musicians can then take these ‘image to audio’ files, mix them into a track and if you were to run that audio through a spectrograph you would suddenly see images like the ones in the gallery below. The most famous of these is undoubtedly from the song ‘[Equation]‘ by Aphex Twin.
     When first discovered a slightly terrifying ‘demon face’ was found. It wasn’t until a fellow by the name of Jarmo Niinisalocame along and tweaked the settings to unearth the true image, the Aphex Twin himself, Richard D. James.
     Below you will find a collection of images embedded into songs. If you know of any other notable examples please let us know in the comments!

     This was the original ‘demon face’ image first found in Aphex Twin’s ‘[Equation]‘ song using a linear frequency scale instead of a logarithmic frequency scale.



These are the approximate settings Jarmo used to uncover ‘The Aphex Face’


This is the actual title of the track. You can see why it is also known as ‘[Equation]‘ or ‘[Formula]‘
