Southern Right Whales in these areas haven't seen humans before and were very curious. :)
The whale is basically 14 meters long and weighs about 70 tons...
Amazing!

Have you always been a math wizard? Or have you always hated math so much?
Here's a new discovery: the length of your index and ring fingers are correlative to your mental abilities.
So basically, try to see which of your fingers are longer -- index finger or ring finger?
Findings:
Those whose index fingers are longer than their ring fingers are good in language, arts, and talking. While those whose ring fingers are longer than their index fingers are good in math and logic.
This was based on study of finger length in relation to SAT exam scores in England where a significant correlation between finger length and intelligence has been discovered.
A Brief Explanation
Hormones (testosterone and estrogen) influences the length of the fingers of the fetus in the womb. Testosterones lengthen the ring finger, thus making the individual good in math, spatial functions, and logic. Estrogen, on the other hand, lengthens the index finger, thus strengthening the individual's verbal and language skills.
So it does make sense since women are significantly more talkative than men, and men are better in directions, and math than most women.
Now I know why math never loved me, and why I never learned to love math. It's a closed case now. (I used to think I was just not smart enough) :)
How about you? Which is longer, your ring finger or your index finger?
Which is easier for you?
Saying the colors and getting it accurately, or saying the words and getting it accurately?
The right side of your brain is trying to say the colors while the left side of your brain is trying to say the words.
Fascinating how the mind works.
In my case, I can see the colors first, but I can say the words more accurately. How about you?
If you haven't failed, there's something seriously wrong with you. Now that sounds good, doesn't it? If you have failed at least once, congratulations! Welcome to the club! If you have failed, so what??? The thing that you should be concerned about is what you did after you failed.
If there's one thing man hates, it's not someone who's perfect; but it's his own failure.
You may or may not be aware of it, as much as you may or may not admit it, but failing, especially if you have tried your best, is the greatest de-motivator of all.
Failure is the ultimate ego crusher; the element that sucks out the brightness of the world.But then again,
"Nobody is Perfect" à not even fairytale princesses.
So the next time you feel bad about failing or those little failures, think about it this way:
Remember, everybody fails... and winners are failures who tried again, while losers are failures who never got the nerve to give it another shot.
"It is only at the first encounter that a face makes its full impression on us."
Arthur Schopenhauer (German Philosopher 1788-1860)
Do you want to know what the first 12 minutes can do to you?

If you screw it up, there's good news and bad news.
The good news is – you get to reverse it. So it's not permanent.
The bad news is – it takes 6-8 consecutive meetings (of good impressions) to overcome one bad impression.
Forming an Impression
This is what happens everytime you meet someone for the first time.Approaching: first 4-5 minutes
- Scan the face (especially the eyes)
- Look at the body
- Examine the wardrobe
- Take particular notice of their voice (if within hearing range)
- Shake hands and/or acknowledge the person
- Listen to the person's words
Locking in period: 4 minutes
This means that this period is the "verification" or "validation" period. When they decided whether they like you or not, there is a 4-minute period for them to really verify that thought or decision. So if you do something within that 4-minute "lock in period", the decision can still change – although it most likely wouldn't.
So, basically you've got 12 minutes to make it or break it. J
