Blue Whale feeding

Posted in Wildlife with tags , on July 23, 2008 by lassethinks

The Blue Whale is known to feed chiefly at depths greater than 100 meters during the day and save surface feeding for the dark hours. Since it is a mammal with lungs instead of a fish with gills, it needs to surface regularly to breathe oxygen from the atmosphere. Generally speaking, a Blue Whale will come up to the surface every 10 minute or so while feeding, but it is not uncommon for it to stay down for up to 20 minutes. The longest recorded dive lasted for an astonishing 36 minutes and took place in 1998. The Blue Whale is certainly well adapted to a life in the ocean.

This his a funny little rap white starring some white comedians. The video is a spoof on WOW (world of warcraft). In short it is a tribute to the wizard class in the game and how incredible strong they become on higher levels. The spoof is of WOW but it could pretty much be made for any other RPG as well. The video is made by mailordercomedy. A small comedy group with 4 members. They have done a lot of other videos but none of them is even close to as funny as this one. If you want to know more about them or watch more of their videos you can visit their website mailordercomedy.com

I hope you will all enjoy the vid. I know I do.

Sevastopol

Sevastopol is a port city located on the Black Sea coast of the Crimea Peninsula in Ukraine. In the Crimean Tatar language, the city is called Aqyar. Sevastopol used to be the home of the Soviet Black Sea Fleet and is today Ukrainian naval base. The naval base is used by both the Ukrainian Navy and the Russian Navy.

During World War II, Sevastopol was bombarded by the Nazis during the Axis siege of 1941-1942 and the city fell into German hands in July 1942. It would take almost two years before the Red Army reached the city. In 1945, Sevastopol was awarded with the Soviet Hero City title.

World War II caused devastating damage and the city had to be entirely rebuilt when the war ended. Thousands of workers took part in the reconstruction headed by prominent architects and engineers from cities such as Moscow and Leningrad. Some landmarks from the early 20th century was carefully restored, such as the Art Nouveau Main Post Office.

In the downtown district of Sevastopol you can enjoy Mediterranean style architecture with residential buildings featuring columned balconies and Venetian-style arches. The downtown area is also famous for its abundance of chestnut trees.

Maladzyechna is a city located in the Minsk Voblast of Belarus. It is home to nearly 100,000 inhabitants and located on the Usha River. Its early history is not well known, but it has been settled since at least 1388. During this period, it was a part of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. The first mentioning of what would one day become the city of Maladzyechna concerns a fortification erected on the right bank of the river.

In the early 1600s, Maladzyechna was donated to Michael of Mstislav by King Sigismund I of Poland. In exchange, Michael of Mstislav promised to provide a safe river passage for noblemen and hunters.

After the Partition of Poland, Maladzyechna was annexed by Imperial Russia, but the empire didn’t pay much attention to the town. As a result of Napoleon Bonaparte’s invasion of Russia, Maladzyechna was more or less completely demolished in 1812. The old monastery and castle was for instance shattered. By the mid 1800s, only about 500 residents lived in Maladzyechna and it would take until the late 1800s before the city began to slowly recover from the war. In 1871, and Orthodox Church was built as the main town square, and two years later transportation suddenly became much easier when the town was hooked up to the Minsk-Vilna railway. During the 20th century, Maladzyechna became a major railway junction.

Maladzyechna became a part of Byelorussia in 1939, after being occupied by the Red Army as a result of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact and annexed to the Byelorussian SSR.
