Are they accurate? One problem with body-fat scales is that they are often inaccurate. Many variables affect the results, including how hydrated you are, when you last ate and exercised, and even whether your feet are highly calloused or dirty, as well as the type and quality of the product itself.
Orcas Island. Orcas Island (/ËÉËrkÉªs/, like Orcus, not /ËÉËrkÉz/, as in the plural of orca) is the largest of the San Juan Islands, which are located in the northwestern corner of Washington state in San Juan County, Washington, United States.[1]
Introduction to Orcas. Throughout history, orcas have been inadequately considered and the lack of knowledge about them, as well as the myths that have circulated for generations, have caused them to be cataloged as sea monsters, enemies of all aquatic species and mainly, âkillerâ whales. This belief comes from long ago. Their scientific name is Orcinus orca, from it, the word Orcinus means âfrom the realm of the dead,â relating to the Roman god Orcus master of the underworld. Later, poor translations ended in a name that eventually brought more fear to people, killer whales; both titles are incorrect.
