“Our lives are waves that come up out of the ocean of eternity, break upon the beach of earth, and lapse back to the ocean of eternity. Some are sunlit, some run in storm and rain; one is a quiet ripple, another is a thunderous breaker; and once in many centuries comes a great tidal wave that sweeps over a continent; but all go back to the sea and lie equally level there.” LifeRunningEarthLyingLevelsBreakOur LivesSeaCenturyQuietOceanRainEternityWaveCome UpStormBeachContinentsRippleLapsesTidal Waves Author:Austin O'Malley

“Allowing the fly to sink to the fish's level, the angler makes a retrieve. The fly comes directly at the fish, which suddenly sees its approach. As the small fly get nearer, the fish moves forward to strike, but the tiny fly doesn't flee at the sight of the predator. Instead it continues to come directly toward the fish. Suddenly the fish realizes intuitively that something is wrong(its never happened before), so it flees until it can assess the situation. An opportunity for the angler has been lost.” Has BeensMovingOpportunityLostRealizingLevelsSituationHappenedSeaApproachRiversSightFishesStrikesTinyMoving ForwardBoatLakesFishingAllowingPredatorAnglers Author:Lefty Kreh
“It is not surprising that only one medieval state, Venice, long possessed anything clearly identifiavble as a navy in this sense. We shall see that no state in the British Isles attained attained this level of sophistication before the 16th century, and no history of the Royal Navy, in any exact sense of the words, could legitimately begin much before then. This book, which does, is not an institutional history of the Royal Navy, but a history of naval warfare as an aspect of national history.

“Climate change is not a major issue because it will cause sea level rises or temperature increases, since we know how to live at higher elevations and regulate the temperature within our homes. It is a major issue because ecosystems are finding it difficult to adapt to the rapidity of the climate and environmental changes and are dying off, thereby accelerating the species extinction that is already underway due to our consumption habits.” KnowsHomeCausesDifficultNatureLevelsKnow HowIssuesSeaDyingHabitHigherFindingsMajorsIncreaseClimateSpeciesEnvironmentalClimate ChangeDuesConsumptionExtinctionTemperatureEcosystemsElevationEnvironmental ChangeSea Level RiseSpecies Extinction Author:Shailesh Rao
