Blue whales are by far the biggest animals in the world. Even the biggest dinosaur that ever lived doesn't come close in size to the blue whale. The blue whale is a type of mammal called a cetacean and is a type of baleen whale. Their main diet is krill (euphausiids) and copepods. A blue whale can eat up to 8,000 lbs. of krill a day during its peak consumption period. It is estimated to take 2,200 lbs. of food to fill a blue whale's stomach. Blue whales are simply enormous. A blue whale's aorta (the main blood vessel) alone is large enough for a human to crawl through. In the Antarctic, blue whales have reportedly reached lengths of 110 feet, but most probably grow to between 80 and 90…

Project Supplies: • Felt. • Scissors. • Hot glue gun and glue sticks. • Pillow stuffing or scrap fabric. (I used the scraps of felt I had left over after cutting the shapes) Begin by cutting out two of each Halloween shape for each stuffie you are making. One will be the front side, and one will be the backside. To save time, you can fold the felt in half (or quarters) and cut both sides at the same time. We used one piece of felt for each stuffie and used the felt scraps to fill them. Then, place the two pieces of felt together so they match. Now, carefully glue the outer edges together. But, leave a small section open to fill with pillow stuffing or felt/fabric scraps. You…

Gurugu Himapriya displayed exemplary courage when she saved her mother and two younger siblings from a terrorist attack in 2018 in Jammu & Kashmir. At that time, Himapriya was just eight years old. Terrorists from Jaish-e-Mohammed struck at an Army residential quarters at Sunjuwan in Jammu. Himapriya managed to prevent a terrorist from entering the bedroom for three hours before falling unconscious after being injured in a grenade explosion. Himapriya’s timely and brave act not only helped in preventing casualty escalation but also helped the Army in nabbing the separatists. "The Sunjuwan terrorist attack was a five-hour-long nightmare. I have been listening to tales of patriotism at Kendriya Vidyalaya, where I was studying. I have learnt self-defence techniques from my father." Said Gurugu…

This is actually a personal story, something that I witnessed and have talked about often around the campfire, mostly because it's just so frightening because it really happened. When I was 11 years old my big sister was 13. She often told friends and family that she saw dead people. We shrugged it offbecause it was around the time "The Sixth Sense" came out and well, everyone was seeing dead people. Anyways, we had a friend, Tammy, who lived down the street from us that we talked to often, but being new to the neighborhood, we'd not yet been to each other's houses. One day Tammy invited my sister and me inside for something to drink, and happily, we agreed to get out of the sun and come inside. My…

Having a shy style isn't necessarily a problem. It's perfectly OK to take time to warm up to new people and situations. But shyness blocks some people from being as comfortable or sociable as they'd like to be. Some people want to feel less shy so they can have more fun socializing and being themselves around others. Here are some tips for overcoming shy feelings: 1. Start small with people you know. Practice social behaviours like eye contact, confident body language, introductions, small talk, asking questions, and invitations with the people you feel most comfortable around. Smile. 2. Think of some conversation starters. Often, the hardest part of talking to someone new is getting started. Think of conversation openers, like introducing yourself ("Hi, I'm Chris, we're in the same English…

Film (with sound) USA 1923 Lee de Forest, is an American inventor of the Audion vacuum tube, which made possible live radio broadcasting and became the key component of all radio, telephone, radar, television, and computer systems before the invention of the transistor in 1947. In 1920 de Forest began to work on a practical system for recording and reproducing sound motion pictures. He developed a sound-on-film optical recording system called Phonofilm and demonstrated it in theatres between 1923 and 1927. Within a few years’ time, the motion-picture industry converted to talking pictures by using a sound-on-film process similar to de Forest’s.…

So it makes sense for us to celebrate this extremely versatile, useful and tasty food throughout National Pasta Month this October.…
