Forensic entomological decomposition Medicolegal entomology is a branch of forensic entomology that applies the study of insects to criminal investigations, and is commonly used in death investigations for estimating the post-mortem interval (PMI). One method of obtaining this estimate uses the time and pattern of arthropod colonization. This method will provide an estimation of the period of insect activity, which may or may not correlate exactly with the time of death. While insect successional data may not provide as accurate an estimate during the early stages of decomposition as developmental

Open circuit scuba systems discharge the breathing gas into the environment as it is exhaled, and consist of one or more diving cylinders containing breathing gas at high pressure which is supplied to the diver through a regulator. They may include additional cylinders for range extension, decompression gas or emergency breathing gas. Closed-circuit or semi-closed circuit rebreather scuba systems allow recycling of exhaled gases. The volume of gas used is reduced compared to that of open circuit, so a smaller
Scuba diving Scuba diving is a mode of underwater diving where the diver uses a self-contained underwater breathing apparatus (scuba), which is completely independent of surface supply, to breathe underwater. Scuba divers carry their own source of breathing gas, usually compressed air, allowing them greater independence and freedom of movement than surface-supplied divers, and longer underwater endurance than breath-hold divers. Although the use of compressed air is common, a new mixture called enriched air (Nitrox) has been gaining popularity due to

I am not sure as to the number but I do know that some crustaceans that are enjoyed by diners are lobster, shrimp, and crabs. Are crawfish from fresh water? Yes, crawfish are found in freshwater and they resemble small lobsters. In the South I believe they are called crawdads. Crawdads is a term that is used to refer to crayfish although I'm not sure if it's limited to the south. I just saw an ad for Red Lobster where they have them on the menu! Amazing!

In most prepared dishes, such as soups, bisques and étouffées, only the tail portion is served. At crawfish boils or other meals where the entire body of the crayfish is presented, other portions, such as the claw meat, may be eaten. Claws of larger boiled specimens are often pulled apart to access the meat inside. Another favourite is to suck

Since I was a young boy I have loved fashion. Me too. My favorite designer of all time is Coco Chanel, a French fashion designer. Her designs are still relevant today. How did she become such a prominent fashion designer? Post World War 1 she and another designer created a new, sporty, chick style of clothing, which became very popular. Are her designs only limited to clothing, or did she create other stuff as well?
Coco Chanel Gabrielle Bonheur "Coco" Chanel (19 August 1883 – 10 January 1971) was a French fashion designer, businesswoman, and Nazi collaborator. The founder and namesake of the Chanel brand, she was credited in the post-World War I era with liberating women from the constraints of the "corseted silhouette" and popularizing a sporty, casual chic as the feminine standard of style. A prolific fashion creator, Chanel extended her influence beyond couture clothing, realizing her design aesthetic in jewellery, handbags, and fragrance
Elsa Schiaparelli Elsa Schiaparelli ( ; ; 1890–1973) was an Italian fashion designer. Along with Coco Chanel, her greatest rival, she is regarded as one of the most prominent figures in fashion between the two World Wars. Starting with knitwear, Schiaparelli's designs were heavily influenced by Surrealists like her collaborators Salvador Dalí and Jean Cocteau.

By far my most favorite is a white flower, Narcissus. What is the backstory of the Narcissus flower? Well, the exact origin is unknown, but I think it originated in Greek mythology. Narcissus was a hunter who was beautiful. Was that the character that the term narcissist came from?
Narcissus (mythology) In Greek mythology, Narcissus (; Ancient Greek: Νάρκισσος "Nárkissos") was a hunter from Thespiae in Boeotia who was known for his beauty. According to Tzetzes, he was a Laconian hunter who loved everything beautiful. Narcissus was proud, in that he disdained those who loved him, causing some to commit suicide to prove their unrelenting devotion to his striking beauty. Narcissus is the origin of the term "narcissism", a fixation with oneself and one's physical appearance or public perception.
Narcissus (plant) Narcissus is a genus of predominantly spring perennial plants of the amaryllis family, Amaryllidaceae. Various common names including daffodil, daffadowndilly, narcissus and jonquil are used to describe all or some members of the genus. "Narcissus" has conspicuous flowers with six petal-like tepals surmounted by a cup- or trumpet-shaped corona. The flowers are generally white or yellow (also orange or pink in garden varieties), with either uniform or contrasting coloured tepals and corona. "Narcissus" were well known

I would love to cross Parachuting off my bucket list. Have you been? Just the once. I did it to raise money for a very special charity. It is amazing. It involves more or less free-falling for a set period before the parachute opens. That feeling is a so amazing!!! Yes I think I would love it better than sky diving lol. That is the feeling I would to experience I've been looking at Palm Jumeirah, United Arab Emirates with Skydive Dubai Def look into it. I could not recommend it more. It is a fascinating subject on a whole. The first intentional freefall jump with parachute was first completed in 1919. Can you believe it, nearly 100 years ago. Yes that is amazing and very interesting facts. I think I will definitely look into it and Dubai looks amazing anyway so I do not think I would be mad if I didn't even parachute. I have never been but it would be somewhere that I would love to travel to. Make sure you check out the accelerated freefall method they do, it sounds pretty fantastic. Oooh that does sound extremely fantastic, it's making me very excited. I have been doing a lot of research I wasn't aware that in Utah, the US government used to launch monkeys off of a cliff with a parachute to test airplane ejection seats. Oh my goodness really? I have never heard that. An interesting fact that I can add is that the military developed parachuting technology to save aircrews from emergencies aboard balloons and aircraft in flight, and later as a way of delivering soldiers to the battlefield Isn't that horrible? That is a really interesting fact.
Parachuting Parachuting is a method of transiting from a high point to Earth with the aid of gravity, involving the control of speed during the descent with the use of a parachute or parachutes. It may involve more or less free-falling (the skydiving segment) which is a period when the parachute has not yet been deployed and the body gradually accelerates to terminal velocity. History. The first parachute jump in history was made by André-Jacques Garnerin, the inventor of the parachute, on 22 October 1797
conceivable that they did go for the summit ... I certainly would love to think that they actually reached the summit of Everest. I think it is a lovely thought and I think it is something, you know, gut emotion, yes I would love them to have got there. Whether they did or not, I think that is something one just cannot know.
