Horse Teeth
Horse teeth refers to the dentition of equine species, including horses and donkeys. Equines are both heterodontous and diphyodontous, which means that they have teeth in more than one shape (there are up to five shapes of tooth in a horse's mouth), and have two successive sets of teeth, the deciduous teeth, deciduous ("baby teeth") and permanent teeth, permanent sets. For grazing animals, good dentition is essential to survival. Continued grazing creates specific patterns of wear, which can be used along with patterns of eruption to estimate the age of the horse. Types of teeth A fully developed horse of around five years of age will have between 36 and 44 teeth. All equines are heterodontous, which means that they have different shaped teeth for different purposes. All horses have twelve incisors at the front of the mouth, used primarily for cutting food, most often grass, whilst grazing. They are also used as part of a horse's attack or defence against predators, or ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Floating (The Moody Blues Song)
"Floating" is a song by the Moody Blues from their November 1969 album '' To Our Children's Children's Children'', a concept album about space travel, dedicated to NASA and the Apollo 11 astronauts. Background Written by band flautist Ray Thomas, "Floating" is a jaunty, semi-children's song about a future in which advances in space travel have enabled the Moon to become a family vacation spot. The song's lyrics describe the experience of "Floating" from weightlessness due to the microgravity experienced in space flight. Thomas's previous outspoken sympathy for LSD advocate Timothy Leary, as expressed in his song " Legend of a Mind", along with coincidental drug-related slang terms current at the time involving words such as "candy" and "rock," led some Americans to see in "Floating" a coded encouragement to use drugs.See for instance Bob Larson, "Rock and Roll: The Devil's Diversion" (3rd ed., 1970); David Noebel, "The Marxist Minstrels" (1970) Personnel * Ray Thomas – le ...

Floating (Ketil Bjørnstad Album)
''Floating'' (released October 3, 2005 in Oslo, Norway on the label EmArcy - ) is an album by the Norwegian pianist Ketil Bjørnstad. Review For the first time in his rich and multifaceted career, Bjørnstad give us an album with a trio constellation. He has a strong relationship to the melody and the melody to him. We have through some 30 years had the pleasure to witness this mutual love affair, and it has in no way diminished. Here we encounter melody and Bjørnstad in a new constellation and both thrive. Even though this is the first meeting between the three, there are large doses of empathy present and that they have a lot to talk about. Reception The Gemm review awarded the album 4 stars.
