Geri chairs and Medical Recliners are designed to allow someone to get out of the confines of their bed and be able to sit comfortably in a variety of positions while being fully supported. This type of medical seating nurtures a patient's independence and improves their quality of life significantly.
According to the new measurements, a snake can lunge forward about half a foot in only 70 milliseconds. Faced with such speed, a lot of prey won't stand a chanceâalthough some animals are closely matched, such as the kangaroo rat. But even if an animal can react in time, they might not be able to accelerate enough to escape. Snakes are evolved to be very fast, Clark says.
Honeybees fly at about a moderate 7 miles per hour, and have to beat their wings 190 times per second to do it. Speeds vary amongst butterfly species (for some reason the poisonous varieties are slower than non-poisonous ones). The fastest butterflies (skippers) can fly at about 30 miles per hour or more. Slow flying butterflies fly at only 5 mph. Insect airspeed is affected by mass, size, age, gender, feeding, water content, activity type, temperature, humidity, solar radiation, wind, oxygen level, ascent angle and even habitat isolation.
