www.tomsparks.com/index.asp Good communication skills are skills that facilitate people to communicate effectively with one another
At Tom sparks of Dekalb we strive to communicate in the best way possible. We need to agree and a car and a price. That's what a good dealership Is made of, Communication. Can we communicate with you/ call Tim Jennings at 815-739-6054, for information on your next car truck of van. We are near Rochelle, Rockford and Cortland Illinois
it came first, she came after. it felt her. reminded me of Beuys' I Like America and America Likes Me. they were there, but they didn't know. they were here and I was here.

Why Whales Breach: The Leading Theories
While researchers can’t ask whales directly, decades of observation and study have led to several compelling explanations.
1. Communication Across Long Distances
Breaching produces a thunderous splash that can travel great distances underwater, making it an effective non-vocal signal. This is especially useful when:
Visibility is low
Pods are spread apart
Background noise interferes with vocal calls
It’s believed that breaching is one way whales communicate their location, mood, or intent to other whales nearby.
2. A Display of Strength or Dominance
In the breeding season—especially during the northbound migration—breaching may serve as a competitive or courtship display.
Males often breach repeatedly to:
Attract females
Deter rival males
Demonstrate physical fitness
This aligns with other displays like peduncle throws, where the whale uses its powerful tail stock to whip the water with force.
3. Parasite Removal and Skin Maintenance
Another popular theory is that breaching helps whales shed parasites or dead skin.
The impact of hitting the water may:
Dislodge barnacles and lice
Help maintain healthy skin
Remove surface irritants
Younger whales, still developing their immune systems, may breach more frequently for this reason.
4. Playful or Social Behaviour
Breaching is also observed during resting or playful periods, especially among calves and juveniles.
Much like dolphins, young whales may:
Breach for fun
Mimic adults
Learn essential social cues through practice
This theory supports the idea that whales have complex emotional and cognitive lives.
5. Navigation or Orientation
Spy hopping—when a whale raises its head vertically above water—is used to look around.
Some scientists believe breaching may assist whales with:
Navigating coastlines
Sensing surface cues like waves or land
Resetting body orientation mid-journey
How Often Do Whales Breach?
Breaching frequency depends on several factors, including:
Age and sex of the whale
Time of year (breeding vs. migrating)
Weather and water conditions
Presence of other whales or boats
Some whales breach once in an hour. Others may breach 10+ times in a row, creating an unforgettable show for whale watchers.

Each year between April and November, Australia’s eastern coastline comes alive with the spectacular acrobatic displays of humpback whales. After a summer of feeding on krill in Antarctic waters, these charismatic animals migrate north to sub-tropical waters where they mate and give birth. During their annual migration of up to 10 000 kilometres, humpbacks attract thousands of visitors to coastal towns such as Eden, Byron Bay and Hervey Bay.
The exact timing of the migration period can vary from year to year depending on water temperature, sea ice, predation risk, prey abundance and the location of their feeding ground. The majority of humpbacks in Australian waters migrate north from June to August, and back towards the Southern Ocean from September to November. Groups of young males typically lead the migration while pregnant cows and cow-calf pairs bring up the rear. Adult breeding animals form the bulk of the migration in the middle stages.
At a maximum length of 16 metres, the humpback is not the largest whale found in Australian waters but it is arguably the most iconic. Recognised by Australians today as more valuable alive, both environmentally and economically, this species was once valued only when it was dead — mainly for its oil and baleen, or ‘whalebone’.
Beginning in Australia shortly after European colonisation, whaling and the export of whale products became Australia’s first primary industry. Australian whalers of the early 19th century hunted from small boats, towing their catch back for processing at shore stations. The development of harpoon guns, explosive harpoons and steam-driven whaling boats later that century made large-scale commercial whaling so efficient that many whale species were over-exploited in the 20th century and came very close to extinction.
When southern right whales and blue whales became scarce, Australian whalers began to target humpback whales, killing approximately 8300 off the east coast between 1949 and 1962. By the time the International Whaling Commission banned humpback whaling in the Southern Hemisphere in 1963, over-exploitation had already reduced the population to an estimated 3.5–5% of pre-whaling abundance, leading to the collapse of Australia’s east coast whaling industry. Whalers from the Soviet Union continued to whale illegally throughout much of the Southern Ocean, killing 48 702 humpbacks between 1947 and 1973. More than half of these were taken in the two whaling seasons of 1959–60 and 1960–61.
Whaling in Australia, though mainly targeting sperm whales, continued until 1978, by which time the industry was no longer viable. A change in public attitude against whaling encouraged the Australian Government to hold an Inquiry into Whales and Whaling in 1979. Following this the government, with bi-partisan support adopted a permanent ban on further whaling.
The Whale Protection Act 1980 has now been replaced by the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (the EPBC Act). The Australian Whale Sanctuary, established under the EPBC Act, includes the entire Commonwealth marine area, beyond the coastal waters of each state and the Northern Territory. Within the Sanctuary it is an offence to kill, capture, injure, harass, chase or herd whales, dolphins and porpoises. The EPBC Act lists humpback whales as vulnerable and state legislation of Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland provides similar protection.
It is estimated that when the Australian east coast whaling industry ended in 1963, the east coast population of humpbacks had been reduced to a little over 100 individuals. Thankfully, this population has shown steady recovery of around 10 –11% a year, and in 2006 was estimated at around 8000.
The recovery of the humpback population has contributed significantly to the rapid growth of Australia’s whale watching industry. The Australian National Guidelines for Whale and Dolphin Watching 2005 have been developed to minimise impacts on whales, dolphins and porpoises and to give people the best opportunity to enjoy and learn about them. Everyone in Australian waters must follow regulations on how to behave around these animals, for example, touching or feeding them is not allowed. Vessels must travel carefully at low speed and stay at least 100 metres away, although a closer look is sometimes possible if curious whales choose to approach the vessel.
Individual humpbacks still face threats — they can become entangled in fishing gear or be struck by ships. Scientific whaling, pollution, climate change, ocean noise and unsustainable tourism may also affect the population. Humpback calves stay with their mothers for 11–12 months before becoming independent. During this time, the biggest threat they face is attack by killer whales or sharks.
Despite our fascination with humpback whales, we still know surprisingly little about them. Where exactly in the Great Barrier Reef do they mate and calve? How much do the east and west coast populations interact with each other in the southern feeding grounds? The Australian Government continues to fund non-lethal research and other activities to promote whale conservation. The more we understand about these animals, the more we are able to recognise their intrinsic value and improve their chances of recovering further from the impacts of whaling.

hecharse a morir o esperar un final feliz? es increÃble como en la vida uno pasa por tantas cosas, anoche podria haber llorado como nunca lo hago, pero en vez de eso fui a conocer el cielo contigo. Pero ahora qué hago?quiero ir a enredarme en mis sábanas y no despertar nunca, pero te hize una promesa, por eso prefiero ser un capullo y despertar luego de mucho tiempo revoloteando como esas mariposas que dan vueltas en mi estómago para que volemos lejos de este mundo juntos, libres.
Sin embargo cuesta, quiero intentarlo, pero no dejo de pensar. Y que pasa si no resulta, tengo miedo también. Aunque ayer con una canción me hicieras comprenderte. Solo espero que ambos nos ganemos un record, y que estas palabras reflejen esto que no me deja dormir tranquilo...:
I need you, you want me
but I don't know how to connect
so I disconnect
I disconnect
espero que encuentres la manera de conectarte, porque por eso me la juego.
Wecycle is an initiative of the producers and importers of electrical machineries and energy-efficient lamps. Via actions and campaigns Wecycle aims to collect used lamps and machines en recycle those. In order for them to reach their goals, they called in the help of schools, municipalities and consumers.
One primary school in particular was very enthusiastic about the project and collected the most products to recycle (7.500 products).
To reward the school for their outstanding performance, GreenGraffiti stopped by and sprayed the Wecycle logo on their schoolyard, with hopscotch’s for the children. We figured that it’s very smart to learn these kids at a young age how important it is to recycle materials.
