ARE HAWAII's WHALES "MISSING" OR JUST FEEDING ELSEWHERE
WHALE WATCHING TOURISM is big in Hawaii, but what about the Hump Backed Whales. Various articles suggest that they have died, or are feeding elsewhere because of the changes in water temperatures of the ocean due to Global Warming.
INQUISITOR - MISSING WHALES - ALASKA DEATHS RELATED?
EXCERPT:
Hawaii’s humpback whales are missing in large numbers based upon early 2016 reports. Normally, beginning in early November, around 10,000 humpback whales travel from Alaska to Hawaii in order spend the winter in the warmer waters off the Hawaian islands. But, so far, officials at the Humpback Whale Marine Sanctuary say they have not been seeing the usual number of humpback whale sightings, making it a mystery to be solved. While it’s possible the El Nino weather patterns are a factor, earlier in the fall of 2015 other researchers at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA) noticed an alarming number of whale deaths near Alaska.

WAS BLACKBEARD THE PIRATE A GENTLEMAN? HISTORY MAY HAVE BEEN REWRITTEN!
DAILY MAIL - UK - BLACKBEARD GENEROUS WITH HIS SIBLINGS article by Richard Gray
EXCERPT:
EXCERPT:
Historian Baylus Brooks, who conducted the research with the North Carolina Office of Archives and History, also questions the validity of many of the exploits credited to the legendary pirate.
He argues many of the deeds attributed to Blackbeard, who became known by some as the King of Pirates, were misconceptions, or worse, made up entirely. ...
'The enormously successful pirate Edward Thache was not the notorious and villainous "Pirate King" Blackbeard - or Satan "from hell" as Mist wrote him to be,' explained Mr Brooke.
'He was an educated aristocrat, likely grandson of an Anglican minister trained at Oxford.
'His family in Spanish Town, Jamaica, owned an estate with slaves; they probably rode in their personal carriage to church and conversed with assemblymen and their families in the palace square.
'And he was a veteran...
