I wish I could tell you why most animals sleep except for to recharge and why there could be a way where you wouldn't be as vulnerable but there isn't so instead I will show you some of the weirdest places dogs sleep(I did one with cats so if you haven't seen it go check it out). I think he's asleep? Asleep or not he's in trouble. Before and After Could he be secretly one of those liquid cats? A seat made just for him The car came with a puppy holder! When you're too tired to eat Puppy: Food!Yum! *THUMP* Were you trying to eat my shoe? Puppy: TAKE COVER OWNER IS COMING! Last but definitely not least Just going through the dog wash. I hope you all enjoyed watching dogs sleep if you want to see my cute cats post and make sure to check my YouTube channel by

Today I am going to explain some questions about the world. 1. Why is a summer day longer than a winter day? 2. Why is it hotter at the equator? 3. What is a vacuum? 4. What is latitude and longitude? 5. How do you tell the age of a tree? I. why is a summer day longer than a winter dayIn Australia, the shortest day is 21 June, and the longest falls on 21 December. In the northern hemisphere on 21 December. Christmas in Australia is a time for barbecues on the beach. Although the North Pole points approximately at the star Polaris, the earths axis is tilted 23 and a half respect to the path it takes around our sun. While the northern hemispheres leans towards the sun, more direct sunlight reaches us. we call this summer. During summer the southern hemisphere is freezing because the earth is blocking the light so in conclusion longer day north in summer longer days south in winter. As the Earth moves around the sun the tilt remains the same. The Autumnal equinox (22 or 23 September) is the day is the day when the days are equal length- twelve hours each, just as they are on the vernal equinox in spring 20 March. 'equinox' comes from the latin for 'equal' and 'night'. When the Northern hemisphere leans away from the sun, less light reaches the surface. This is autumn for us, and eventually winter. Longer days come to the southern hemisphere as shorter days come to the north. The summer solstice of 21 June is also the moment when the sun is highest. The earth is actually closer to the sun in January than in June. Its not the distance, its the tilt. The best way to demonstrate this is by holding one hand up as a fist and the other as a flat palm representing the Earth's tilt. As your palm moves around the fist, you should see how the tilt creates the seasons and why they are reversed in the southern hemisphere. Be grateful that we have them. One long Summer or one long Winter would not support life. Why is it hotter at the equator? There are two reasons why the equator is hotter than the rest of the planet. Strangely, One of these reasons are not because it is closer to the sun but because it is less curved than the rest of the planet. This makes all the sunlight evenly spread across this tiny little spot. Also, the sun's rays have to go through less atmosphere to reach the equator and so retains more heat. 3. What is a vacuuMThe seven wonders of the ancient world have always interested me. So I decided to blog about!:D The seven wonders of the ancient world were: the Great Pyramid of Cheops at Giza, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, the Colossus of Rhodes, the Statue of Zeus at Olympia and the Pharos Lighthouse at Alexandria. Only the pyramid at Giza survives today. The great pyramid The great pyramid is the largest tomb ever built, created for the 4rth Dynasty Egyptian pharaoh Khufu (2898-2875BC), though he is better known for his Greek form of his name, Cheops. It is one of the three great pyramids at Giza near Cairo, the other two being constructed for the pharaohs Menkaure and Khafre. The largest, for Cheops, was the tallest structure on earth for more than four thousand years, until the nineteenth century AD. Though the capstone was removed at some point, it would have stood 481 foot ( 146.5m) high. The base is perfectly square- a feat of astonishing accuracy considering the sheer size of it. Each side of it is 755ft 8in (231 m ) and each side slopes at 51 degrees, 51 minutes. It is composed with 2 million pieces of stone, each one weighs more than two tons. They fit together so well that not even a knife blade can slide through them. the hanging gardens of babylon The Hanging Gardens of Babylon were built n what is modern day Iraq, on the banks of the river Euphrates. They were created by King Nebuchadnezzar for his queen between the seventh and sixth centuries BC. Famously, they employed complex hydraulic system to raise thousands of gallons from the river and keep the garden blooming. We can only guess at the exact method, but an Archimedean screw, shown here, may have been employed. the temple of artemis (Diana) at ephesus The temple of Artemis (Diana) a Ephesus in what is modern day Turkey is said to have awed Alexandra the Great with its extraordinary beauty, though the citizens refused his offer to bear the cost of a restoration. Originally built in the sixth century BC, the temple was destroyed and rebuilt on more than one occasion, though the most famous was the night of alexander's birth, when a man named Hero stratus burned it so his name would be remembered- one of the greatest acts of all time. finally fell into a ruin around the third century AD. the mausoleum at halicarnassus The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus was created for king Mausolus of Persia, who ruled from 377 to 353 BC. Halicarnassus is now the city of Bedrum in Turkey. On top of the rectangular tomb chamber, thirty-six columns supported a stepped pyramid crowned by statues of Mausolus and his wife (and sister) Artemisia in a chariot, reaching the height of approximately 140ft or 42.5 m. It was destroyed in 1522 when crusader knights from St John used the stone to build a castle that still stands today. The polished marble blocks of the tomb are visible in the castle walls. From Mausolus, we have the word Mausoleum, meaning an ornate tomb. the statue of Zeus at olympia The statue of Zeus at Olympia is also lost to the modern world. Only images on coins and descriptions survive to tell us why the statue was considered astonishing in the fifth century BC. Olympia was the site of the ancient Olympic games-giving us the word. the site was sacred to Zeus, and Phidias of Athens was commissioned to carve the statue. The statue was of wood layered in gold for the cloth and ivory sheets for the flesh. In his right hand stood the winged figure of the goddess Victory (Nike), Made of ivory and gold. In his left, he held a sceptre made of gold, with an eagle perched on the end. The Roman emperor Caligula tried to transfer the statue to Rome in the first century AD, but the scaffolding collapsed under the weight and the attempt was abandoned. Later on, the statue was moved to Constantinople and remained there until it was destroyed by a fire in the fifth century. the colossus of rhodesThe Colossus of Rhodes in Greece is perhaps the most famous of the seven ancient wonders. It was a statue of Helios, over a hundred feet (30 m ) high. It did not actually stand across the harbour, but instead rested on a promontory, looking out over the Aegean sea. The base was white marble and the statue was built slowly upwards, strengthened with iron and stone as the bronze pieces were added. It took twelve years and was finished around 280BC, quickly becoming famous. An earthquake proved disastrous for the statue fifty years later. It broke at the knee and crashed to the earth to lie there for about eight hundred years until invading Arabs sold it. the pharos lighthouse at Alexandria The Pharos Lighthouse at Alexandria was built by the architect Sostratus of Cnidus for the Greco-Egyptian king Ptolemy Philadelphus (285-247 BC). Ptolemy's ancestor had been one of Alexandria's generals. His most descendant was Cleopatra who was the first of her Greek line to actually speak Egyptian. When Julius Caesar arrived in Alexandria, he would of passed the great light house on Pharos island. It's light was said to be visible for 30 miles( 55 km) out to sea. Its exact height is unknown, nut to shed visible light to that distance, it must have been between 400 and 600 feet high (121-182m). As you can see, even the greatest wonders can be lost or broken by the passage of millennia. Perhaps the true wonder is that we build them, reaching for something better than ourselves.
Okay these might not be the greatest paper planes in the world but they are some good ones. In the 1950s, a secondary school headmaster found a boy throwing paper planes from a high window. The head was considering punishments when he noticed the plane was still in the air, flying across the playground below. The boy escaped a detention, but he did have to pass on the design to the headmaster - who passed it to his own children. You will find more complicated designs. You may be sold that the best planes require scissors and lessons in origami. This is nonsense. The Harrier- is simple, fast and can be made from a sheet of A4. It is the best long-distance glider you will ever see- and with a tweak or two, the best stunt plane. It has even won competitions. One was to clear the entire road from a hotel balcony next to Windsor castle on New Years Eve. Four other planes hit the Tarmac- this one sailed across. The Bulldog Dart-is a simple dart, if you like. the bulldog dart 1. Fold a sheet of A4 lengthways to a centreline. 2.fold two corners into the centreline. 3. turn the paper over and fold those corners on half. 4. Fold the pointed nose back on itself to form the snub nose. You might try folding the nose underneath but both ways work well. 5. Fold the whole plane lengthways. 6. Finally, fold the wings in half to complete the Bulldog dart Good- now you know a design that really works. the harrier 1. Fold in half lengthways to find your centre line and then fold two corners into the line.
2. Fold that top triangle down. It should look like an envelope. 3. Fold in the second set of corners. You should be able to leave a triangular point sticking out. 4.
Though you can get special white bones that dont make a lot of mess.
Aren't these kitty's just adorable! I just can't get enough of them! Now here's some cat's that mastered sleeping |
