Killer whales are the largest members of the dolphin family. They are found in all oceans and have a diverse diet, preying on fish, marine mammals, and even large whales. Killer whales are highly social, living in matrilineal family groups that are often specific to populations and can pass on hunting techniques and behaviors across generations. While some local populations are threatened due to human impacts, the overall conservation status of killer whales is data deficient due to the possibility that different types are separate species.

Whale Done-The Power of Positive RelationshipsSohini Banerjee
Discover the difference between Whale Done! (catching people doing things right) and \'GOTcha\' (catching people doing things wrong).
Whales- and people!- perform better when you accentuate the positive and redirect the negative.
Instead of focussing your energy, as most of us do, on what goes wrong- redirect that energy towards a positive outcome in both work and family relationships.
Tried to capture some points about the power of positive relationships and people doing things right in order to develop productive work and home environment. Please find attached the ppt on Whale Done and I have emphasised points on the Trainer Note.

What can you learn f rom the techniques used to train killer whales that will help you
teach and motivate other people — from employees to co-workers to your kids? That’s
the question Wes Kingsley — the main character and a stand-in for the author — asks
when he visits Orlando, Florida, for a business conference and goes to SeaWorld for the
killer whale show.
He wonders how the trainers get these huge, potentially dangerous animals to perform
so well? Wes is having trouble getting people to perform well at work, and wants to
know how he can use whale training techniques to improve their performance. Chuck
Tompkins, head trainer at SeaWorld, and his boss, Thad Lacinak, provide some of the
answers. The whale trainers teach Wes how to coach his employees to be as responsive to his instructions as Shamu is to theirs
Across New Jersey, more than 80 species—from birds to bobcats—are imperiled by loss of habitat and other man-made threats. Wildlife advocates and state agencies are rushing to their rescue, but funds are limited.
Whale Shark The largest of all sharks and the largest living fish, the whale shark is one of the most dramatic views of the ocean. Its large size, distinctive patterns and its enormous mouth make it instantly recognizable and can be commonly seen wandering near the surface in tropical and subtropical waters around the world. Their diet is based mainly on plankton, but also regularly feed on small schooling fish and squid. Unlike basking sharks, which simply filter vast amounts of water as they swim, whale sharks actively suck their prey before filtering efficiently and are sometimes seen in groups, feeding on high concentrations of food. Regularly appear in the same places at specific times of the year, probably to capitalize on plankton blooms and events such as coral spawning.
Reptiles are tetrapod (four-limbed vertebrate) animals in the class Reptilia, comprising today's turtles, crocodilians, snakes, amphisbaenians, lizards, tuatara, and their extinct relatives. The study of these traditional reptile orders, historically combined with that of modern amphibians, is called herpetology.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2. What are Killer Whales?
The killer whale (Orcinus orca), also
referred to as the orca whale or orca, and
less commonly as
the blackfish or grampus,
is a toothed whale belonging to
the oceanic dolphin family, of which it is
the largest member. Killer whales are
found in all oceans, from Arctic
and Antarctic regions to tropical seas.
Killer whales have a diverse diet, although
individual populations often specialize in
particular types of prey. Some feed
exclusively on fish, while others
hunt marine mammals like pinnipeds, and
even large whales. They have been known
to attack baleen whale calves. Killer
whales are regarded as apex predators,
lacking natural predators.
Jed Ryan J. Eldian
3. Killer whales are highly social; some
populations are composed
of matrilineal family groups which are the
most stable of any animal species. Their
sophisticated hunting techniques and vocal
behaviours, which are often specific to a
particular group and passed across
generations, have been anthropomorphically
described as manifestations of culture.
The IUCN currently assesses the
orca's conservation status as data
deficient because of the likelihood that two or
more killer whale types are separate species.
Some local populations are
considered threatened or endangered due to
prey depletion, habitat loss, pollution
(byPCBs), capture for marine mammal parks,
and conflicts with fisheries. In late 2005, the
"southern resident" population of killer
whales that inhabits British Columbia and
Washington state waters were placed on the
U.S. Endangered Species list.

4. Species Description
Weight: males can weigh up to 22,000 pounds (10,000 kg);
females can weigh up to 16,500 pounds (7,500 kg)
Length: males can reach 32 feet (10 m);
females can reach 28 feet (8.5 m)
Appearance: black on top with white undersides and white patches
near their eyes; highly variable gray or white saddle
behind the dorsal fin; these markings are unique across
individuals and populations
Lifespan: up to 50-100 years:
males typically live for about 30 years, but can live as
long as 50-60 years;
females typically live about 50 years, but can live as long
as 100 years
Diet: varies (diet is often geographic or population specific),
can include fish, marine mammals, sharks, and sea birds
Behavior: highly social animals, living within matriarchal societies;
rely on underwater sound for orientation, feeding, and
communication; produce whistles and pulsed calls, used
for communication and maintaining group cohesion

6. Range and Habitat
Killer whales are found in all oceans and most seas. Due to their enormous
range, numbers, and density, distributional estimates are difficult to compare,[92] but
they clearly prefer higher latitudes and coastal areas over pelagic environments.[93]
Systematic surveys indicate the highest densities of killer whales (>0.40
individuals per 100 km²) in the northeast Atlantic around theNorwegian coast, in the
north Pacific along the Aleutian Islands, the Gulf of Alaska and in the Southern Ocean off
much of the coast ofAntarctica.[92] They are considered "common" (0.20–0.40 individuals
per 100 km²) in the eastern Pacific along the coasts of British
Columbia, Washington and Oregon, in the North Atlantic Ocean around Iceland and
the Faroe Islands. High densities have also been reported but not quantified in the
western North Pacific around the Sea of Japan (in very limited areas), Shiretoko
Peninsula and offKushiro (Resident and Transient groups began colonizing in these
areas possibly after in 2000s), Sea of Okhotsk, Kuril Islands,

7. Kamchatka and the Commander
Islands and in the Southern Hemisphere off
the coasts of South Australia, off the coast of
southern Braziland the tip of southern Africa.
They are reported as seasonally common in
the Canadian Arctic, including Baffin
Bay between Greenlandand Nunavut, and
around Tasmania and Macquarie
Island.[92] Information for offshore regions and
tropical waters is more scarce, but
widespread, if not frequent, sightings indicate
the killer whale can survive in most water
temperatures. They have been sighted, for
example, in the Mediterranean, the Arabian
Sea, the Gulf of Mexico and the Indian
Ocean around the Seychelles.[92] In the
Mediterranean, killer whales are considered
"visitors" with the exception of one small
population which lives in the Strait of
Gibraltar.[94] A distinct population may also
exist in Papua New Guinea
Jed Ryan J. Eldian
8. Population
Worldwide population estimates are
uncertain, but recent consensus suggests
an absolute minimum of 50,000. Local
estimates include roughly 25,000 in the
Antarctic, 8,500 in the tropical Pacific,
2,250–2,700 off the cooler northeast Pacific
and 500–1,500 off Norway. Japan's
Fisheries Agency estimated 2,321 killer
whales were in the seas around Japan.

10. The killer whale's intelligence, trainability,
striking appearance, playfulness in captivity
and sheer size have made it a popular exhibit
at aquaria and aquatic theme parks. From 1976
to 1997, 55 whales were taken from the wild in
Iceland, 19 from Japan, and three from
Argentina. These figures exclude animals that
died during capture. Live captures fell
dramatically in the 1990s, and by 1999, about
40% of the 48 animals on display in the world
were captive-born.
