Bernard-Germain-Étienne de La Ville-sur-Illon, comte de Lacépède or La Cépède (26 December 1756 – 6 October 1825) was a French naturalist and an active freemason. He is known for his contribution to the Comte de Buffon's great work, the Histoire Naturelle.
Lacépède was born at Agen in Guienne. His education was carefully conducted by his father, and the early perusal of Buffon's Natural History (Histoire naturelle, générale et particulière) awakened his interest in that branch of study, which absorbed his chief attention. His leisure he devoted to music, in which, besides becoming a good performer on the piano and organ, he acquired considerable mastery of composition, two of his operas (which were never published) meeting with the high approval of Gluck; in 1781–1785 he also brought out in two volumes his Poétique de la musique. Meantime he wrote two treatises, Essai sur l'électricité (1781) and Physique générale et particulaire (1782–1784), which gained him the friendship of Buffon, who in 1785 appointed him subdemonstrator in the Jardin du Roi, and proposed that he continue Buffon's Histoire naturelle. This continuation was published under the titles Histoire des quadrupèdes, ovipares et des serpents (2 vols., 1788–1789) and Histoire naturelle des reptiles (1789).
The Histoire Naturelle, générale et particulière, avec la description du Cabinet du Roi (1749–1804) is an encyclopaedic collection of 36 large (quarto) volumes written over much of his working life by the Comte de Buffon, and continued in eight more volumes after his death by his colleagues, led by Bernard Germain de Lacépède. The books cover what was known of the "natural sciences" at the time, including what would now be called material science, physics, chemistry and technology as well as the natural history of animals.
The Histoire Naturelle, générale et particulière, avec la description du Cabinet du Roy is the work that the Comte de Buffon (1707-1788) is remembered for. He worked on it for some 50 years, initially at Montbard in his office in the Tour Saint-Louis, then in his library at Petit Fontenet. 36 volumes came out between 1749 and 1789, followed by 8 more after his death, thanks to Bernard Germain de Lacépède. It includes all the knowledge available in his time on the "natural sciences", a broad term that includes disciplines which today would be called material science, physics, chemistry and technology. Buffon notes the morphological similarities between men and apes, although he considered apes completely devoid of the ability to think, differentiating them sharply from human beings. Buffon's attention to internal anatomy made him an early comparative anatomist. "L’intérieur, dans les êtres vivants, est le fond du dessin de la nature", he wrote in his Quadrupèdes.

Ara is a neotropical genus of macaws with eight extant species and at least two extinct species. The genus name was coined by French naturalist Bernard Germain de Lacépède in 1799. It gives its name to and is part of the Arini, or tribe of neotropical parrots. The genus name Ara is likely related to arara, the Portuguese word for a macaw, itself derived from the Tupi word a'rara. The Ara macaws are large striking parrots with long tails, long narrow wings and vividly coloured plumage. They all have a characteristic bare face patch around the eyes. Males and females have similar plumage. Many of its members are popular in the pet trade, and bird smuggling is a threat to several species.

First described in 1804 by French naturalist Bernard Germain de Lacépède (1756-1825) morelia spilota has a number of sub species. They can grow to around 4 metres with females usually larger than males and weigh up to around 15kg. They lay 10-50 eggs and protect their eggs by curling around them and using their constricting muscles to create warmth. Subject to a huge variation in skin hues and patterning, they are mostly diurnal but can be seen getting about in the daytime as this video attests. They exist across a huge area of Australia particularly the forests of the south eastern Australia and can survive across a range of temperatures from hot to cooler climates. Often found as pets they kill their prey by suffocating them. #wildoz #reptiles #carpetpython
Ronco do Bugiu Alouatta é um gênero de macaco do Novo Mundo da família Atelidae, subfamília Alouattinae, popularmente conhecidos por bugio, guariba ou barbado. A taxonomia do gênero é complexa, e envolve a classificação em três grandes complexos específicos: A. palliata (bugios da América Central), A. seniculus (bugios-ruivos e de mãos-ruivas da Amazônia e Mata Atlântica) e A. caraya (uma única espécie, típica do Cerrado e Pantanal). Dados genéticos e revisões taxonômicas consideraram algumas subespécies como espécies propriamente ditas.

LOST FISH: Anthologies of the Work of Comte de Lacepede ELIZABETH KOLBERT Book Number: 78030 Product format: Hardback A beautiful book about magnificent sealife creatures like the Balistes Vetula with its iridescent yellow fish scales and blue fins and sharp teeth, the hammer head of the Sphyrna Zygaena, the almost rainbow colours of the Scarus Ghobban and Frenatus or the Coryphaena Huppurus on page 98-9. With apt quotations from Jacques Cousteau, Albert Einstein to Frank Lloyd Wright, the big glossy pages on heavy quality stock reproduce hundreds of fish, now lost to us, as carefully drawn in the 18th and 19th centuries by scientists. Writers such as Rousseau and Audubon expounded on the beauties of nature, while naturalists like Linnaeus, Buffon and his successor, the Comte de Lac...
Slow lorises are a group of several species of strepsirrhine primates which make up the genus Nycticebus. Found in South and Southeast Asia, they range from Bangladesh and Northeast India in the west to the Philippines in the east, and from the Yunnan province in China in the north to the island of Java in the south. Although many previous classifications recognized as few as a single all-inclusive species, there are now at least eight that are considered valid: the Sunda slow loris , Bengal slow loris , pygmy slow loris , Javan slow loris , Bornean slow loris , N. bancanus, N. borneanus, and N. kayan. The group's closest relatives are other lorisids, such as slender lorises, pottos, false pottos, and angwantibos. They are also closely related to the remaining lorisoids , as well as the le...

Our guest today is Dr. Hannes Tager, who has done significant historical research into the origins and the evolution of the electrical concepts of comets, going back hundreds of years. Hannes' investigation has not only revealed remarkable facts on the origins of the electric comet theory, but it offers insights into the history and the culture of science, and the question of why certain scientific theories gain official acceptance over time, while others do not.

De de de de de de de de de da de day
All y'all hip hop niggas buy ya smoke around the way so
If it comes to it I can see y'all
De de de de de de de de de da de day
All y'all hip hop niggas buy ya smoke around my way so
If it comes to it I can see y'all
Believe me I can see y'all
[Verse 1]
You lack some minerals and vitamins, respect due to that
The average hip hop consumers now's like who dat?
Songs nowadays ain't stayin' stuck in ya brain
It got to the point that all songs that suck sound the same
I'm speakin' on behalf of a third of us in the game
That when dope comes up they ain't announcin' our names
Now I'm runnin' up in clubs screamin'
Wid my songs pumpin' in 'em
Celeb status weighin' in like Kenan
Ain't big headed or gassed up
I'm stayin' on the cement
Don't wanna hear that talk 'round me
Y'all playin' wid my feelings
Cause y'all couldn't help but notice bitches ravin' over me then
Ya automatically think they gave off fragrants of my semen
Play attention closely to how stupid y'all look
Like a producer droppin' dime on a lieu Buddah took shit
Back to the song, continue wid splittin' lyrics in half
to the point of the bathrooms you ask if it's on
They be like yeh it is, don't his raps be the bomb
Listen once we're done zippin' up our pants sing along
Bring it on, whatever, that's how the shit's s'posed to be
I been new nice I been since Hawaian Sophie please
[Hook]
[Verse 2]
This is for all my real niggas smokin' chronic in blunts
To my British niggas smokin' spliffs along wid ?silca?
To all my European niggas smokin' ounces of skunk
To my Dominicans makin' thousands offa just one
I can make songs for y'all shit, why the fuck not
I'm sick of first hit, *(breath and cough)*
Hid it from pops, cops see
Don't it pay to be dope?
I'm addicted to bitches they gimme brains to in love
But I'm tied up like Rudolph on a sleigh and wid ropes
And cut him short like the trip you move 'n' made for the gold
Yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh
