With the nights drawing in and the trees beginning to lose their leaves, now is the perfect time to get your oak mantel ready for autumn. Of course, if you still haven’t got around to buying an for your fireplace, you’re not too late to get it in time to try out some of our seasonal style tips. So without further ado, here are some of our favourite ways to style your mantel this autumn.
We can’t get enough of these decorative little squashes. Whether you place a few of them between other seasonal decs on your oak mantel or make a gourd-only display, they’re simply the best way to bring a little bit of autumnal joy into your home.
Available in a wide range of shapes and sizes and a pleasing array of autumnal shades, your imagination is the only limit when it comes to using gourds to decorate mantel.
If you have squashes that are too large to fit on your oak mantel, or you have simply bought more than you could possibly fit on your oak mantel (they are so beautiful, after all), you can also extend your gourd arrangement to your fireplace and even (as long as you’re not lighting it!) on top of your wood-burning stove, too.
Prepare your home for some serious Halloween fun by decorating your oak mantel for the spookiest day of the year.
Whether you want to go all out with spider webs and skeleton bunting or see Halloween as a more classy affair with candles and pumpkins, your oak mantel is the perfect focal point to centre your decorations around.
For an elegant but effective look, place black candles in clear glass holders of different shapes and sizes in-between your gourds.
If you’re feeling more adventurous, add black bunting covered in fake spiders’ webs. You could even stick some googly eyes (readily available from your local craft shop) on your gourds. Depending where you place them, they can actually look surprisingly sinister!
Think of oak mantels as blank canvases for your artistic installation. OK, so we’re not all as creative as Jackson Pollock, but that doesn’t mean we can’t create some pretty impressive displays on our oak mantels.
Artificial autumn leaves can be used to create a really lovely autumnal display on your oak mantel. Scatter them between your other decorations or string them together to create leaf bunting. Again, your imagination is the only limit!
Here at Traditional Beams, we offer a wide range of . If you need any advice about which one would suit your space best – or indeed want to send us pics of your autumn-inspired oak mantel decorations – we’d love to hear from you.

Vet, custodian refinish floors
SOMERSET - Custodian Michael Perry has been working side by side with Vietnam war veteran Ed Miranda to refinish the floors in the hallways of the Town Office Building.
They have stripped the floors, put down a couple coats of sealer and applied four coats of wax. Perry burnishes the floors to heat up the wax to make the finish hard so there is less of a chance of dirt penetrating the surface.
"It's a lot of work," Miranda said. "You have to take your time with it."
Perry and Miranda refinished the downstairs hallway of the Town Office Building on a Saturday on Sept. 19 when nobody else was in the building on a day when the Spirit of Somerset Family Fun Day was happening. Miranda said it took them 14 hours to do the work in that part of the building. Last Wednesday, they were working on the upstairs hallway at night when nobody was in the building. They said it would take at least two more nights to finish that part of the building and then they hope to refinish the floors in the offices, as well.
Miranda was doing the work on the floors at the Town Office Building to participate in the town's senior citizen and military veteran tax work-off program. The program allows a limited number of seniors and veterans to do work valued at minimum wage to earn up to $500 off their property taxes.
"That's a great help," Miranda said of the money he can save on his taxes from the program.
Miranda said he had heard about a similar program in Swansea where he saw someone working on some landscaping at the police station property to earn some money off property taxes. He said he put in an application to participate in the Somerset tax work-off program and did not hear back for a couple months, but said he got a call from Town Administrator Richard Brown who told him that he noticed his experience working on floors in his application. Miranda said he is semi-retired. He said he has worked in carpet and upholstery cleaning, as well as stripping, sealing and waxing floors. Perry also used to do work on floors at the Clifton Rehabilitative Nursing Center where he used to work.
"Me and him are a great team," Miranda said. "He knows what he's doing and I know what I'm doing and we just move along."
Miranda served in the First Infantry Division of the Army in Vietnam for 15 months between 1969 and 1971. He said he did see combat during that war.
"My first 11 months over there was nothing but hell," Miranda said.
Miranda said when he was put in the 84th Engineers toward the end of his deployment, he did some work as a cook that was not as dangerous, but he said he was still going back and forth between the battle fields.
Perry said it has been a good feeling to see the results they have gotten in refinishing the floors at the Town Office Building. He said Miranda has been a big help to him in getting the work done.
"It's made my job a lot easier, absolutely," Perry said. "It's a hard job to strip these floors. So with the both of us having the experience, it's nice because we don't have to tell each other what to do."
At the end of last week's selectmen's meeting when Chairman Scott Lebeau asked his two fellow board members if they had anything to bring up, one of the subjects that Steve Moniz talked about was the work on the floors that Perry and Miranda have been doing. He said Town Administrator Richard Brown planned the project, but said Perry and Miranda have done an outstanding job.
"The floor looks like it's brand new," Moniz said.
Perry said that with the floor refinished, he can keep it "looking like glass" when he cleans it.
Lebeau said when people from the public walk into the Town Office Building, they should take notice of the work done by Miranda and Perry.
"The floors in town hall do look great," Lebeau said.
Selectman David Berube went up to the second floor of the Town Office Building last Wednesday night when Miranda and Perry were working there and was impressed with their work.
"I think this looks beautiful," Berube said. "These are nice floors."

San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMoMA) Opening Soon
Following a nearly three-year, $305 million expansion, the SFMoMA will have 14 galleries spanning 15,000 square feet exhibiting photos—more room than the photography galleries of New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art and Museum of Modern Art combined. On top of that, the museum has created a new study area for researchers called the Pritzker Center for Photography and added a pair of refrigerated storage vaults for the 18,000 photographs in its collection.
The museum launched its expansion plan seven years ago to make room for the addition of 1,100 works, mainly paintings and sculptures, amassed and lent to the museum by Gap clothing founder Don Fisher and his wife, Doris. But Mr. Benezra said he and his staff seized on the chance to enlarge its galleries for photography as well. Of the 145,000 square feet of total gallery space in the museum, 10% is reserved for photos alone.

I used a D60 to do some shooting in a studio last week. Three strobe lights were used - two on the subject and one on the background. I set the white balance to Auto initially but noticed that there was some inconsistency in the skin tone of the subject - sometimes it was right on but sometimes it was too cool (too blue). I tried setting the WB to Flash but the result was terrible - the subject skin tone was way too warm (too yellowish/reddish). Is there something wrong the WB sensor in my camera?
What should I do? Should I use the Customer WB instead (by taking a reference shot of a white piece of paper under the lighting conditions that I was going to use)?
Your advice is appreciated. Thanks.

Jolee Edmondson is a Savannah-based writer whose work has appeared in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal and Smithsonian, among other publications.
For 30 years, requests to enact an archaeological ordinance that would protect subterranean artifacts have failed. A new effort has emerged amid the latest wave of construction.
Some big holes in historic downtown Savannah, Georgia, are causing a lot of grief. To make way for new hotels and an arts center, excavators are digging deep below the Spanish-moss-shaded streets, reviving serious concerns about the buried past of Georgia’s coastal belle.
For 30 years, archaeologists have been urging the city to enact an archaeological ordinance that would protect subterranean artifacts, but their effort ran up against public apathy, reluctant legislators, and developers fearful of extra restrictions and costs. With 13 million visitors annually and hotel occupancy at 80 percent, Savannah's flourishing tourism has generated a construction boom. While developers are delighted, archaeologists are worried. The massive earth moving has sparked a decisive call to action.
“There’s a story beneath Savannah that’s being lost to development,” asserts Phillip Ashlock, director of the Southern Expeditionary Archaeological Research & Cultural Heritage Institute. He has posted a petition on Change.org enjoining community support for an ordinance. “Any construction site in the historic district is going to sit on top of the history of Savannah. We want to know what that history is.”
The proposed ordinance would require that a city-appointed archaeologist supervise the unearthing and documentation of underground artifacts at construction sites, with developers footing the bill. So far, the only building projects in Savannah involving archaeology have been those that received federal or state funding—the National Historic Preservation Act mandates that public projects in locations listed on the National Register of Historic Places undergo an archaeological evaluation.
From early 19th century stoneware to Revolutionary War musket balls, antiquities are frequently uncovered at Savannah's multiplying building sites. According to Ashlock and associates, such remains are often discarded, destroyed, paved over or carried off by workers or looters.
Preservation is a big deal in Savannah. The 300-year-old port city is renowned for restoring the architectural treasures in its historic district. But preservation of artifacts under the ground is a different matter. “People don’t care about what they can’t see,” says Rita Elliott, education coordinator and research associate with the Lamar Institute, an archaeological nonprofit. “Half the battle is education. Savannahians don’t realize the significance of what lies beneath their city.”
The drawn-out struggle of Savannah’s archaeologists exemplifies the preservation versus progress debate that divides many historic cities. The past is precious, but the future promises profit. While some developers aren’t outright opposed to an archaeological code, they’re wary of the fine print.
“The devil is in the details,” says Kevin Klinkenberg, executive director of Savannah Development and Renewal Authority. He says an ordinance would be problematic if it imposed broad regulations instead of tailoring them to individual projects. “One size doesn’t fit all,” says Klinkenberg. “In theory, I’m for it. History is the city’s core. But it’s important that nothing hinders the ability of the city to keep improving.”
Savannah’s archaeologists argue that archaeology wouldn’t halt construction. The ordinance they’re advocating would be built into the permitting process, much like electrical and plumbing codes, becoming an integral part of building plans. Only large projects would come under review, and even they might not warrant a full-scale archaeological survey. Research conducted before groundbreaking would determine if a site has potential.
“I can understand the developers' side,” concedes Angus Sawyer, owner of Archaeological Consulting of Savannah, LLC. “They see this as another hurdle in an already difficult process. It might be uncomfortable for them in the beginning, but there’s a huge quantity of buried artifacts in Savannah that are at risk of being lost to future generations. It’s amazing that such a historic city doesn’t have archaeological protections in place.”
Compromise might be an option. Ellen Harris, director of urban planning and historic preservation at Savannah’s Metropolitan Planning Commission and a longtime champion of the proposed archaeological code, is working on incentives that might get developers to voluntarily accommodate archaeological procedures. Possible enticements include permission to build an additional story above the area’s height limits. To qualify, developers would agree to dedicate a minimum of four percent of their construction budget to archaeology, with a cap of $500,000.
“The incentives approach is much better than telling developers what they can and can’t do,” says Alderman Bill Durrence, who represents the historic district. “Some ordinances just aren’t enforceable,” he says, noting that Georgia has strong property rights laws. “Telling a property owner that he has to add so many dollars for an archaeological survey of his construction site might run afoul of those laws. I’d want to be sure that we could legally enforce this ordinance before seriously considering it.”
Ashlock, whose petition has been submitted to the mayor after garnering some 1,250 signatures, maintains along with his compatriots that incentives are no substitute for an ordinance. He admits that archaeology can be costly, but contends it’s the price to be paid for the privilege of building in Savannah.
“This city is a gem,” he says. “If someone wants to come and own a part of Savannah, they should be willing and responsible enough to safeguard the historic resources under their property. Citizens and legislators should expect nothing less of developers.”
Besides, supporters of the ordinance say, builders and tourism might benefit from archaeological finds, displays of which could enhance venues and draw visitors. “People who come to Savannah crave authentic history, not just guidebook stuff,” says Elliott. “It’s not the artifacts alone but the story behind them. That’s what archaeology provides—the actual story. It would be a valuable economic tool for the city.”
A number of historic cities have adopted archaeological ordinances, including Albuquerque, New Mexico; Annapolis, Maryland; St. Augustine, Florida; and Alexandria, Virginia. Savannah’s archaeologists aspire to the example set by Alexandria, whose ordinance was passed in 1989 after residents, alarmed by the thousands of artifacts being bulldozed during a heavy construction phase, lobbied the city council to form the Alexandria Archaeological Commission, the first such group in America. Today, the commission works closely with developers, many of whom have received awards for their conscientious cooperation. The commission’s centerpiece is the Alexandria Archaeology Museum, which showcases the city’s unearthed relics while serving as a headquarters for volunteer and educational programs.
As for the financial outlay required of developers to include archaeology in their projects, Alexandria City Archaeologist Francine Bromberg says, “It’s simply the cost of doing business in Alexandria.”
So will Savannah catch up with the archaeological strides of other historic cities? Perhaps the answer lies in a comment made by Durrence: “Savannah never does anything in a hurry.”

Which database is best for Microservices?
In fact, moving off of the (usually costly) enterprise relational database is one of the benefits often promoted for refactoring to microservices.
Now, there are very good reasons to pick other types of databases—either NewSQL or NoSQL for many microservices..
Does Netflix use Microservices?
Today, the Netflix application is powered by an architecture featuring an API Gateway that handles about two billion API edge requests every day which are handled by approximately 500+ microservices.
Are Microservices worth it?
Don’t even consider microservices unless you have a system that’s too complex to manage as a monolith. The majority of software systems should be built as a single monolithic application. Do pay attention to good modularity within that monolith, but don’t try to separate it into separate services.
What are different types of tests for Microservices?
There are three modes of testing I’ve seen in many microservices applications that can be used to successfully verify that the services work as intended despite the increased complexity of the architecture: base testing, scale testing, and resiliency testing.
What is saga in Microservices?
The saga design pattern is a way to manage data consistency across microservices in distributed transaction scenarios. A saga is a sequence of transactions that updates each service and publishes a message or event to trigger the next transaction step.
Where should you not use Microservices?
When Not to Use MicroservicesWorking on large teams. The team may be building or maintaining several different streams of functionality at once. … Scaling. If one function in a monolith, by dint of additional data or users, needs more resources, then the whole app has to be scaled.
How do you maintain transaction between Microservices?
In a given environment, two Microservices can use one approach and other can follow the different approach for transaction management.Avoiding transactions across Microservices.Two-Phase Commit Protocol.XA Standard.REST-AT Standard Draft.Eventual Consistency and Compensation.
Are Microservices RESTful?
Microservices: The individual services and functions – or building blocks – that form a larger microservices-based application. RESTful APIs: The rules, routines, commands, and protocols – or the glue – that integrates the individual microservices, so they function as a single application.
Should a Microservice call another Microservice?
I would generally advise against having microservices do synchronous communication with each other, the big issue is coupling, it means the services are now coupled to each other, if one of them fails the second is now fully or partially disfunctional.
Do Microservices need their own database?
The short answer is yes. In order to be able to independently develop microservices , they must be loosely coupled. … Each microservice’s persistent data must be private to that service and only accessible via it’s API .
What is a Microservice example?
MICROSERVICE ARCHITECTURE is an architectural development style that allows building an application as a collection of small autonomous services developed for a business domain. Let’s take an example of e-commerce application developed with microservice architecture. … Each Microservice has its separate data store.
How do you sync data between Microservices?
Here are some suggestions:use a single database per microservice (not per instance) no matter how many instances are using it. … Use a shared cache layer on top of the DB (maybe redis cache)Use a database cluster to deal with high load/availability of databases.
Can Microservices use same database?
2 Answers. You are not likely to benefit from a Microservices architecture if all the services share the same database tables. This is because you are effectively tightly coupling the services. … No direct database access is allowed from outside the service, and there’s no data sharing among the services.
Does Microservices use SQL database?
You’ll have to start building microservices with what you have – a relational database, such as DB2, MS SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and gradually split it into several small services. On top of that, you can use a relational database in microservices if you apply polyglot persistence.
What problems do Microservices solve?
Taking these two aspects into consideration, let’s look at 10 examples of tech challenges solved by microservices.Scalability. … Shorten the Time for Shipping New Features. … Improved User Experience. … Improved Uptime. … Balance Stability, Release Cycle and Performance. … Spaghetti code. … Shorter Development Cycles.More items…•
What is CQRS?
CQRS stands for Command Query Responsibility Segregation. It’s a pattern that I first heard described by Greg Young. At its heart is the notion that you can use a different model to update information than the model you use to read information.

The FTIV is normally placed between the fuel tank and the activated carbon filter and controls the flow to the filter. In addition, additional valves are required to open and close the complete system, for example during OBDII tests. The FTIV is a normally closed valve that can be opened electrically as required. It has two mechanical bypasses which reduce the built up pressure or underpressure as soon as a pre-defined threshold is exceeded. In addition, the volume flow of fuel vapors in the direction of the activated carbon filter can be limited to a maximum value by a flow limiter. The valve meets the non-leakage and flow requirements of modern fuel tank systems with a compact design and low weight.
Thanks to the modular build, it is possible to equip the FTIV with any functions required by the customer. For example, there is an option in which the valve is closed without current and only has an overpressure bypass.
Another variant of the valve, the FVV, is normally open. This type can be closed by simply applying power, if desired, so that the path of the fuel vapors in the EVAP system is sealed, for example, during an OBDII test.

While many of us may be looking ahead to a summer break, we are also looking back on a successful, albeit eventful, first half of the year. Against a backdrop in which the economic recovery withstood further waves of the coronavirus pandemic, but in line with our expectations, financial markets delivered solid returns.
Real assets such as equities and commodities outperformed nominal assets such as bonds, a pattern that is characteristic of a reflationary environment when economic growth recovers, inflation remains broadly in check, and monetary and fiscal stimulus remains clearly supportive.
Watch the new House View video with Nannette Hechler-Fayd’herbe, Chief Investment Officer – International Wealth Management
In our latest Investment Committee meeting, we reassessed our views to ensure we are adequately positioned going into the second half. We retain a positive view on equities in the mid-term, as we expect strong economic growth to lead to further above-average earnings growth, which should reduce currently elevated price-earnings ratios.
Yet, as our tactical indicators still signal caution, we consider it prudent not to increase equity allocations above their strategic levels for the time being. We maintain an underweight allocation to government bonds, as we believe yields should eventually move higher again as economic growth remains strong.
We took profit on our successful commodities view last month, which proved to be a well-timed decision as commodities have since consolidated and we expect returns to be muted in the months ahead.
As we look toward the next half of the year, the very strong economic growth, together with inflation, are likely to trigger some changes in terms of how central banks view future monetary policy. As a result, there could be more volatility, both on the global yield side with potentially higher yields, as well as more volatility in equity markets and financial markets in general. It is all about managing the risks in the second half in the context of strong economic growth.

Quote by Ernest Hemingway
You felt, in spite of all bureaucracy and inefficiency and party strife something that was like the feeling you expected to have and did not have when you made your first communion. It was a feeling of consecration to a duty toward all of the oppressed of the world which would be as difficult and embarrasing to speak about as religious experience and yet it was as authentic as the feeling you had when you heard Bach, or stood in Chartres Cathedral or the Cathedral at LeÃ³n and saw the light coming through the great windows; or when you saw Mantegna and Greco and Brueghel in the Prado. It gave you a part in something that you could believe in wholly and completely and in which you felt an absolute brotherhood with the others who were engaged in it. It was something that you had never known before but that you had experienced now and you gave such importance to it and the reasons for it that you own death seemed of complete unimportance; only a thing to be avoided because it would interfere with the performance of your duty. But the best thing was that there was something you could do about this feeling and this necessity too. You could fight.
This quote describes a profound and transformative feeling, something akin to a religious experience, that arises from a sense of duty towards the oppressed. It compares this feeling to the awe-inspiring moments of hearing Bach's music or being in the presence of breathtaking art. Engaging in this duty brings a sense of belonging and brotherhood with others who share the same commitment. The quote suggests that this experience is so powerful and meaningful that one's own life becomes insignificant in comparison, only seen as an obstacle that may hinder the performance of this duty. Ultimately, the quote emphasizes the ability to take action and fight for what one believes in.

text: Retinoic Acid (RA), a lipophilic molecule and a metabolite of Vitamin-A (all-trans-retinol), affects gene transcription and modulates a wide variety of biological processes such as cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. RA-mediated gene transcription depends on its rate of transport to target cells and the timing of its exposure to Retinoic Acid receptors (RARs) in target tissues. All-trans-Retinoic Acid, the carboxylic acid form of Vitamin-A is of biological significance since it has higher circulating levels than other isomers of RA. Although biologically active ligands for RAR also include 9-cis-Retinoic Acid among others, circulating levels of 9-cis-Retinoic Acid are much lower than those of all-trans-Retinoic Acid. The physiological significance of the isomerization of all-trans-Retinoic Acid to 9-cis-Retinoic Acid and vice versa is yet to be ascertained. RAR are encoded by three separate genes with multiple isoforms α, β and γ, which are generated by alternate promoters and differential splicing. Like all nuclear receptors, RAR have a conserved modular structure consisting of an AF-1 or A/B domain; a zinc finger DNA binding domain (DBD) or C domain; a CoR or D (hinge/corepressor binding) domain; an LBD or AF-2 or E (ligand binding/transcriptional activation) domain; and a variable F (carboxyl terminal) domain. In general, RAR contain six regions from A-F. The DBD binds to the Retinoic Acid response element (RARE) region in the DNA. RAREs consist of direct repeats of the AGG/TTCA motif with a spacer region of (n)25. Vitamin A in the liver is converted to all-trans-Retinoic Acid, diffuses easily to the target tissues through cellular membranes and is translocated to RAR through cellular retinoic acid binding protein (CRABP).The mechanism of all-trans-Retinoic Acid-induced apoptosis is through mitochondrial dysfunction involving TRAIL and its death receptors - the TRAIL receptors (TRAILR). All-trans-Retinoic Acid and interferons function synergistically to activate TRAILR and caspase 8, which in turn increase mitochondrial permeability leading to the release of cytochrome C (CytoC). TRAILR contain functional death domains capable of inducing apoptosis. Binding of TRAIL to TRAILR leads to the recruitment of apoptosis regulator FADD, which functions as a molecular bridge to caspase 8. TRAILR indirectly bind to FADD via the GTP binding protein DAP3. Caspase 8 cleaves BID into tBID, which in turn translocates to the mitochondria and induces cytoC release. CytoC in association with APAF1 activates caspase 9, which causes the cleavage of proteins required for cellular viability, resulting in apoptosis. Caspase 9 also activates caspase3 which directly cleaves downstream substrates like PARPs. Apoptosis by TRAIL and TRAILR is controlled by FLIP.RA functions as an important regulatory signaling molecule for cell growth, differentiation and neurodegeneration both during embryogenesis and in the adult. Retinoic Acid induced apoptosis through death receptors is a potentially promising approach for treatment of Schizophrenia, Alzheimers disease and also for cancer therapy.

Single Mitt in Språng
This språng mitt doesn't work well. It's elbow length and that's weird to begin with. The double twist interlinking section over the forearm (top of photo) skews strongly and the fabric there is insubstantial. The mitt took both sections of the sprang because the cloth was narrow and it's unlikely I could make more cloth to match exactly for a second mitt. The loops at the start of the fabric are ungainly. The fabric won't conform at the wrist, much the way fallen tights wrinkle around ankles.
The humbug handspun looks better as cloth than it did as yarn. The single twist interlinking over the hand gives a soft warm fabric. When folded back and doubled, the fabric gets even warmer. The stretch makes it comfortable to wear.
I think I could make a better mitt with språng than this.

Victo Ngai on the stress of illustrating well-known ebook covers
Victo Ngai is an LA-based illustrator from Hong Kong. She has created editorial illustrations for titles such as the New York Times and New Yorker, while also working on storyboards and animation art for NBC and Dreamworks.
"I was an only child born to working parents with a migrant background. We moved a lot when I was little, so I didn't have a lot of friends and I started drawing to pass the time, ”says Ngai, explaining how she got into illustration. “These drawings usually have an element of fantasy, whether it's imaginary friends, traveling to otherworldly places or transforming the bullied into a hero. When I started drawing, the walls ceased to exist and mine Reality became infinitely bigger and richer – anything was possible that gave me meaning and confidence that I didn't know I had. "
Above: Graphic for the start of Mixc World. Above: Graphics for the Mixc Spring Festival. All pictures: Victo Ngai
Ngai's work has a fantasy element to it and she has become known for creating fascinating worlds full of mysteries and fascinating characters. “I draw the way I do because I don't know how to do it any other way. I think good art is honest art, and style is just a drawing habit, an extension of life experience, taste and the Personality of the artist, "she explains." For example, I naturally tend towards complex images and find navigating through the visual chaos quite intuitive. This probably has something to do with growing up in Hong Kong, which is always busy and full of textures and information. "
Ngai was recently hired by HarperCollins to create a series of covers for Veronica Roth's 10th anniversary edition of the Divergent series. Commemorative versions of Divergent, Insurgent, and Allegiant, plus a companion novel Four: A Divergent Collection, will be released next month, all with re-interpreted covers by Ngai.
Cover for Divergent's 10th Anniversary Edition, published by HarperCollins Children's Books
“It was my first time doing panoramic covers. The idea was to take a comprehensive look at dystopian Chicago, highlighting the most important moments from each of the four books, ”explains Ngai.
“It was a fun challenge to come up with a palette of compositions and colors that would work as a whole and as individual segments. I took a page from one of my favorite Lord of The Rings covers by the brilliant Barbara Remington. Gradients are used in the sky to seamlessly shift the key colors of the covers from one to the next. These key colors are further enhanced by the step-back design by designer Erin Fitzsimmons. "
Cover for the 10th anniversary edition of Insurgent, published by HarperCollins Children’s Books
More than 42 million copies of the Divergent book series have sold, so Ngai was under pressure to create something that felt true to her as an artist, but also honored the books for the fans.
“I definitely didn't want to disappoint the fans and tried to make the art as authentic as possible to the story. I'm really glad that the direction of repackaging is completely different from the original covers, so the comparison is less straightforward, ”she says.

“It is also very helpful to have had Veronica's blessing from the start. She liked the IMAX Divergent poster I made in 2014 and recommended me for this project. I also had a great team at HarperCollins that trusted my visions and gave me more creative freedom than I thought possible for an IP as big as Divergent. "
When working on a commission, Ngai usually starts by breaking the mapping down into keywords to better define the core message she needs to communicate. “Then I brainstorm to find stories and metaphors that are inspired by these keywords. This is a very free association process, ”she explains. “Then I start nailing my thumb to crystallize the concepts. The ideas are often transformed and develop further in the process. The final arts are analog and digital techniques. "

The Divergent series isn't the first book cover series that Ngai has worked on. In previous projects, she has done covers for Neil Gaiman's Norse Mythology, V.E Schwabs Vicious, and Lauren Shippens A Neon Darkness. "I love the range of topics I have to deal with, from SFF to growing up, romance to thriller and a lot more," she says. "The process of translating words and abstract concepts into visual elements is like a puzzle and I enjoy it immensely."
The exclusive 10-year anniversary editions of the Divergent series are published in the HarperCollins children's books available from June 1st;; victo-ngai.com

Egyptian, Classical, Ancient Near Eastern Art
The pose of the nursing woman—a standard one in Egyptian art—was also the hieroglyph meaning “nurse.” Because its subjects are not identified, this little figure probably did not represent real individuals but rather served as a votive gift requesting a goddess’s protection.

3lb Bulk Substrate Instructions
This substrate should be inoculated with “fully colonized” grain spawn only. Injecting spores or liquid culture directly into this substrate will cause contamination and will not work. Do not use as casing.
This substrate can be used in mono tubs and trays. You can also use the filter bag as a growing bag but this won’t be as efficient.
This product requires basic knowledge of mushroom cultivation. If you are a beginner, please do your research first on spore prints, grain spawn, bulk substrate teks, monotubs, mushroom trays and fruiting chambers.
This product and instructions are intended for the cultivation of legal edible mushrooms.
1) Inspect your bag for contamination and mold. If you see contamination, don’t use the soil; contact us before going any further.
2) Wipe all surfaces, your hands, tools and containers with rubbing alcohol before you start and as needed going forward.
3) Cut the top of the soil bag. Loosen the soil by gently squeezing the filter bag with your hands.
4) At this point you have two options:
a. You can use the filter bag the substrate came in and mix the grain spawn into the bag, shake and seal the filter bag. And then continue to Step 10.
b. Use your own tub or tray. We recommend this as this provides better yield.
5) We highly advise that you have your grain spawn and tub or trays ready at this point so that you can finish the next step as soon as possible, reducing the risk of contamination from the environment.
6) Wipe your tub with alcohol thoroughly. Line your container with a clean plastic sheet. Dump the soil into the tub. The final substrate in your container should be around 2 inches deep. 3lb substrate will fill 2 of the shoe-box size containers.
7) Make sure to loosen any remaining clumps in the substrate and your substrate is evenly mixed, looking uniform and no dry patches visible. The substrate should be fluffy and not compacted.
8) Break your grain spawn into individual grains and mix the grain spawn into your substrate evenly with an alcohol wiped tool/spoon. We recommend using 30%-50% grain spawn as compared to the weight of the substrate. So, this 3lb substrate will need about 1.5lb of grain spawn.
9) Make sure the substrate is evenly distributed in your tub and the surface is flat.
10) Your substrate is now ready for incubation. Place container or grow bag in a dark room/closet where the temperature is between 70-75°F.
11) Once the incubation starts, it should take about 10-14 days for the substrate to be fully colonized by the mycelium. When the entire substrate is white, including the top of the substrate, you are ready to start fruiting your mushrooms in a fruiting chamber with high humidity and frequent air exchange.
Good Luck and Happy Harvest!

100 g Gushu Pu Erh aus Xiao Hu Sai Bergdorf
2022 Xiao Hu Sai Gushu (Xiao Hu Sai Gushu)
The 2022 has a fruitier aroma and flavor than its 2020 and 2021 counterparts. The dry leaf aroma has a subtle note of sweet orange and osmanthus blossoms, which is more prominent on moist leaves. Compared to the previous teas, the taste of the Xiao Hu Sai 2022 is fruitier and less grassy. The fruity notes in the first 3 infusions are reminiscent of sweet oranges and osmanthus blossoms. In the first infusions there is also a subtle trace of milkiness and creaminess to recognize. The bitterness and astringency come to the fore from the second infusion and last for about 3 more infusions.
All in all, this was the best version of any Xiao Hu Sai Pu Erh we have in our store.
Xiao Hu Sai is a small mountain village of 45 families in Lincang City, Yunnan Province, China. Located in a deep mountain at 1800m above sea level, the village is hidden from the modern world. Modern facilities such as electricity and roads were only introduced to the village more than 10 years ago. Roads and paths are not suitable roads for transport, but roads made of compacted mud for pedestrians. In such an isolated environment, the semi-wild ancient tea trees left behind by ancestors have provided them with cash crops.
Unless otherwise stated, delivery within 2-3 working days is fast and convenient as a DHL package to your home. The shipping cost is €4.99.
Delivery takes place within 4-5 working days, conveniently as a DHL package or DHL parcel to your home. You can find the exact shipping costs on the Shipping & Delivery page.

Netflix Slaps Chris Rock With the Blame for ‘Love Is Blind’ Breakdown
According to Netflix, Chris Rock’s comedy ruined another red carpet event.
This past Sunday, the much-anticipated Love is Blind reunion special was supposed to be Netflix’s next big foray into live-event streaming following Rock’s record-breaking comedy special Selective Outrage. The show features a handful of attention-attracted singles courting each other entirely through voice chat, then, after 10 days, the couples have the option to get married and reveal their faces.
The reunion was meant to give the audience a glimpse into how these relationships had progressed past the week-and-a-half of phone calls that led to a “lifetime commitment” — however, as fans of the hit dating show have screamed on Twitter and other social media platforms, technical problems prevented Netflix from streaming the special live, and viewers were forced to wait an entire 18 hours before they could watch a recording of the event.
Netflix has made the bald-faced move to blame Selective Outrage for the outage, claiming that technical changes made following Rock’s stream accidentally introduced a glitch to the service that wasn’t caught until after the highly publicized blunder. Though it seems doubtful that the explanation was intended as a backhanded jab at Rock, it seems distasteful to involve the comic in another hairy public controversy after everything that’s happened to him in the past year.
Please, Love is Blind, keep Chris Rock’s name out of your — oh forget it.


How much is a 44 mag gun?
A 44 MAG pistol is currently worth an average price of $1,466.00 new and $1,294.41 used .
What is the best 44 Special ammo?
Best . 44 Mag Self-Defense Ammo
- Federal Ammunition: Hydra-Shok 240 grain Personal Defense.
- Fiocchi Ammunition: 240 Grain JSP.
- Hornady Ammunition: JHP XTP Load.
- Remington Ammunition: 240 Grain HTP Rounds.
- Speer: Gold Dot Handgun Personal Protection 44 S&W Special.
- Winchester Ammunition: Platinum Tip 250 Grain JHP.
What is the effective range of a 44 Magnum?
44 Magnum bullet can reach speeds of up to 1,380 feet per second, generating kinetic energy at themuzzle of 1,015 foot-pounds of force. That’s plenty of power, enough to take down up to deer-size game at distances of up to 50 yards.
Is a 44 Special good for self defense?
44 Special is an excellent self-defense cartridge. The gun is also well suited for use as a carry gun for outdoor types. Hunters, hikers, fishermen or wilderness explorers will find this is a good choice to carry in a holster both as a primary handgun or as back-up to a long gun.
Will a 44 Special kill a bear?
For a bear cartridge anything equal to or more powerful than a . 41 Magnum or . 44 Magnum will be fine. 357 Magnum or other similar-caliber load, a well-placed shot with a good bullet will certainly kill a bear, but it’s not recommended.
Are there any revolvers chambered in.44 special?
As a result, gunmakers offered fewer revolver models chambered in .44 Special for several years.
Why did Smith and Wesson make the.44 special?
Older black-powder ammunition was in the process of being converted to smokeless. Smith & Wesson’s popular .44 Russian cartridge had established a reputation for superb accuracy and was a renowned target load, and they decided to use an improved smokeless powder version as the basis for the new round.
How big is the case of the 44 Special?
The resulting design, which S&W called the .44 Special, had a case length of 1.16-inch (29 mm).
Why is the.44 Special cartridge so popular?
This makes the .44 Special cartridge an attractive alternative for reduced velocity target shooting and plinking. The recent popularity of cowboy action shooting has also helped pique interest in the .44 Special, motivating manufacturers to offer modern and reproduction firearms chambered for this classic cartridge.

KARACHI: The Supreme Court Thursday resumed hearing of Karachi law-and-order suo motu implementation case at Karachi Registry where government officials submitted reports pertaining to progress into the investigation of various cases.
A five-member bench, headed by Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, comprising Justices Jawwad S. Khawaja, Khilji Arif Hussain, Amir Hani Muslim and Azmat Saeed resumed the hearing.
During the course of hearing, Advocate General Sindh told the court that mobile phone companies have been ordered to block unregistered SIMS and the process of blocking the SIMs was in process since last night.
In his remarks over the AG’s statement, Justice Jawad S.Khwaja said how is this possible for a person to posses 50 SIMs at a time? Does any law prevent it?
The CJP said that police officers who took part in Karachi operations of 1992 and 1996 were killed one by one. “The IG police should tell the court where are their killers? In this situation, no one comes to be a witness. The murder of witnesses is not possible without the information of police and influential people.”
The CJP hailed Sindh Assembly’s legislation of the protection of witnesses.
Several city areas are under a strike-like situation on the killing of Zafar Baloch, a central leader the outlawed People’s Amn Committee, who was gunned down in a drive-by shooting incident last night along with his guard.
This hearing is first since early September visit of the Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to Karachi when the Federal Cabinet decided to launch a targeted operation in the metropolis spearheaded by the Rangers.
On 30th August, Director General, Sindh Rangers, had told the court that the issue of missing 19,000 arms containers came to limelight many years ago. He said the missing containers were opened during the tenure of the former minister for ports and shipping.
Babar Ghouri had requested the court he be allowed to a become party in the case after the report accused him of connivance in the alleged arms smuggling issue. — SAMAA

Colorado house representative Jared Polis brought to the notice of the US House ethics committee that currently; there are no disclosure norms when it comes to Bitcoin holdings. This is the reason why many of the high-profile investors who are actually commenting negatively on Bitcoins might actually have invested in Bitcoins. This creates a divergence problem is the investors might be driving down Bitcoins are so that they are able to invest more in Bitcoins. This is the reason why it is necessary to create proper guidelines when it comes to Bitcoin holding disclosures.
Currently, when it comes to equities or any other type of asset class, it is compulsory for the investors to disclose their holdings or extent of their holdings whenever they are commenting on the asset. However, when it comes to Bitcoin there is no such disclosure or there is no such guideline which the investors have to follow. Thus, it is very easy for the high-profile investors to actually misguide the retail investors by presenting a negative view of the cryptocurrency asset. This is exactly what is worrying Jared Polis.
He further added that if the investor is holding commodities or equities above $ 1000, he has to disclose the holding whenever he’s commenting on the price. Same should be the case with cryptocurrency assets as well.
With the help of financial disclosures, the retail investors would be able to take a better call as to whose advice they should heed and whose advice they should avoid. This is the reason why many of the representatives think that proper disclosure would actually help the retail investors. It would help the retail investors decide for themselves whether the opinion should be taken with a grain of salt or whether the opinion of certain financial investors should be trusted completely.
Many of the institutional investors are also looking to invest in Bitcoins these days. Therefore, their public opinion might be different and the investing call which they are taking might be different. This is the reason why it is necessary for the cryptocurrency investors to actually disclose whether they are holding Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are not whenever they are commenting on the same. This would create more transparency as well as credibility for the retail investors.
This would also ensure that most of the bigger investors are accountable when it comes to disclosing their holdings and stating their opinion on Bitcoin or any other type of cryptocurrency. source: Bitcoin.com

The rise of individual genetic information has also meant the increase of this health information being incorporated into medical records. While the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 (GINA) prohibits the use of genetic information to discriminate against individuals in health coverage and insurance, it does not preclude Covered Entities or Business Associates from disclosing this information. Ultimately, it is the health record recipient’s responsibility to not make decisions based on genetic information in accordance with GINA.
What’s The Backstory?
HIPAA isn’t the only federal confidentiality legislation that applies to medical records. In 2008, GINA was introduced to prevent health plans and employers from discriminating against individuals based on their genetic information. In the healthcare industry, GINA dictates that insurance providers may not take into consideration the genetic history of a coverage applicant or customer when making decisions regarding that individual’s qualification for coverage.
What Can I Disclose?
While operating under the regulatory standards of HIPAA and GINA, Covered Entities can disclose all requested records that accompany proper patient authorization to requestors. GINA in no way prevents releasing the requested record when accompanied by a valid patient authorization, even when the record contains genetic information. Should a record containing genetic information be requested and released to a health plan provider, the responsibility for ensuring that information is not used for discriminatory purposes rests with the requestor.
As long as there is a valid, HIPAA-compliant authorization in place, Covered Entities operate under no obligation to remove, redact, or otherwise prevent the disclosure of a patient’s genetic information.
GINA applies speciﬁcally to the underwriting practices of health plan providers. It is unreasonable for health plan providers to expect all other Covered Entities and Business Associates to do them a favor by executing additional auditing and removing genetic information from the chart when it is authorized to be sent by the patient. In accordance with HIPAA, you can defer to the patient authorization rather than requestor preferences on what is to be disclosed.
WHAT DO REQUESTORS SAY?
Occasionally requestors push back, indicating genetic information should not be included in the release of records. However, these requestors may have overlooked that they are simply making a request to have the information excluded from the release; they aren’t entitled to demand the exclusion under GINA. Covered Entities and Business Associates should not have to shoulder the burden of additional auditing when GINA clearly states the responsibility falls on the requestor to use the information disclosed in an appropriate manner.
What if The Information Is Restricted?
Should a patient submit documentation that they wish to restrict the release of their genetic information from a requestor, their instructions should be followed. The records should then be redacted to prevent the restricted information from being disclosed.
Release the Records Requests
Is the pushback from requestors on including genetic information in requests confusing your health information management team? ScanSTAT is here to help. We’re happy to handle both the routine requests, and the more complicated, allowing you to focus on taking care of your patients instead of paperwork. If you’d like to learn more about how we can alleviate these requests from your daily workload, reach out to us to schedule a demo today.

Parga (Greek: Πάργα [ˈpaɾɣa]) is a town and municipality located in the northwestern part of the regional unit of Preveza in Epirus, northwestern Greece. The seat of the municipality is the village Kanallaki. Parga lies on the Ionian coast between the cities of Preveza and Igoumenitsa. It is a resort town known for its scenic beauty.
In antiquity the area was inhabited the Greek tribe of the Thesprotians. The ancient town Toryne was probably located here. The village of Parga stands from the early 13th century. It was originally built on top of the mountain “Pezovolo”. In 1360 the Pargians in order to avoid the attacks of the Magrebins transferred the village to its present location. During that period, with the help of the Normans who held the island of Corfu, the fortress of Parga was built. In 1401 a treaty was signed with the Venetians, and the rule of Ionian Islands passed to them. The Venetians respected the lifestyle of Pargians who provided in turn, invaluable assistance to the fleet of the Venetians. At the same time Pargians fought by the side of their compatriots to throw off Ottoman rule. As Parga was the only free Christian village of Epirus, it was a perfect refuge for persecuted fighters and their families. In 1797 the area, along with the Ionian Islands and Parga, fell into the hands of the French, and in 1800 proclaimed free city status with broad authority under the protection of the Sublime Porte. In 1815, with the fortunes of the French failing, the citizens of Parga revolted against French rule and sought the protection of the British.
In 1817, following a treaty between Britain and the Ottoman Empire, the British granted Parga to the Ottomans. This resulted in the Good Friday of 1819 where 4,000 Pargians having with them the ashes of the bones of their ancestors, their sacred images, flags and a handful of soil from their homeland, exiled themselves in the British protecturate of Corfu where they settled. The former citizens of Parga never ceased to dream of returning to a free country and to participate actively in the struggle for liberation. But they had to wait almost 100 years for this. Parga and the rest of Epirus was liberated from the Ottoman rule on 1913 following the victory of Greece in the Balkan Wars.

Deliwe is said to have committed the heinous crime on the night of Friday 24th June 2022.
According to reports it was initially concluded that Gregory had taken his own life, but after further investigation, it was revealed that the woman (Deliwe) allegedly killed him and made it look like a suicide.
The source, who is also a neighbor of the deceased, said the couple had a falling out after returning from a 90s-themed party during which the woman performed a sexy dance.
The source said the fight could have resulted in the man’s death.
It was discovered that the woman, with the help of her maid, had taken the man’s body and hung it on a small guava tree to make it look like a suicide.
However, they were caught after locals discovered that half of the deceased’s body was lying on the ground.
The woman is currently under arrest and in custody. The couple shared three children together.
Deliwe Mutandiro touched storm some months ago after being involved in an altercation with comedienne Felistas Maphosa better known as Mai TT.

If you have guts come to were I am right now I will show you the other side of me. [In the] Background were people shouting you messed with wrong people, your days are numbered (sic).
I almost went to face her but something told me Don’t go. I would have been RIP right now.
Not everything beautiful you see is beautiful some people are beautiful Monsters. Those words keep ringing in my head,” she said.

Razer is revamping its line of Kraken headsets in time for this fall's big rush of games. The company's engineers are bringing bigger audio drivers, a new body design, and some other tweaks aimed at the competitive gaming scene to both the Razer Kraken V2 and the Razer Kraken 7.1 V2.
The Kraken V2 headset is a stereo deal with a 3.5-mm audio jack and in-line audio controls, while the Kraken 7.1 V2 is a USB headset featuring 7.1 virtual surround sound, LED lighting, and a microphone with active noise cancellation. Both headsets are getting 50-mm audio drivers this time around—20 percent larger than the previous generation—that Razer says will deliver better sound quality.
Both headsets will also feature a new "aluminum unibody" and redesigned headband. Razer says these changes should make for a more durable and more comfortable set of cans compared to that of the plastic body of the original Kraken headsets. The ear cushions have been tweaked to provide better sound isolation, as well. The headsets include circular over-the-ear cups, but oval-shaped cups can be ordered separately and swapped in to fit a user's preferences.
From where we're sitting, these headsets look to be improvements over their predecessors in just about every respect. Razer plans to release the Kraken headsets in October, and it's already accepting pre-orders for the Kraken V2. The Kraken V2 will retail for $79.99, and the Kraken 7.1 V2 will go for $99.99.

More than 300 academics and authors from all over the nation have voiced their support for the Church-led fishermen who are demonstrating in Thiruvananthapuram against the Adani group’s Vizhinjam seaport and have denounced what they perceive to be a malicious campaign against a women’s rights organisation that backs the agitation.
Under the banner of the Vizhinjam Struggle Solidarity Committee, the signatories, which include social activist Medha Patkar and filmmaker Anand Patwardhan, have expressed support for the 111-day-old protest against the project, which the agitators accuse of causing the coastal erosion that has destroyed their homes and means of subsistence.
A smear campaign against the demonstrators is allegedly being run by several media outlets, according to the statement.
The BJP and the Left, who are in power, have opposed the agitation. The Congress has not expressed any commitment.
“As the coastal community’s sit-in protest continues against the distress caused by the Vizhinjam Adani port (and is) gathering solidarity and support at the state level, corporate-backed media like News 18, Janam TV, Deshabhimani and Kerala Kaumudi are now resorting to blatant lies and misinformation against the protest and the protesters,” the statement says.
It denounces the media campaign that claims Sakhi, an NGO that supports the agitation, received Rs. 11 crore in foreign financing to destroy the seaport project.
One of the Sakhi leaders, Aleyamma Vijayan, has accused some media sources of slander.
The information on the Sakhi website demonstrates how transparent all of their operations are. We support this legal action and hope that this organisation continues to run efficiently, the statement reads.
People are urged to “resist against this deceptive propaganda,” it states.
Ram Puniyani of the National Solidarity Forum, feminist K. Ajitha, economist K.T. Rammohan, author C. Radhakrishnan, and feminist academic Devika are among those who have signed the petition.

Songs 6 Commentary
Once in a while, the holy pages give away their identity. At times, it’s the timing of the script that is exposed unintentionally.
The mention of Tirzah and Jerusalem in the same thought may give us an estimation of the time when the Book was written. It wasn’t definitely written during the reign of Solomon. Tirzah was the capital of the Northern Kingdom of Israel under the reign of Baasha and partly Omri. We don’t hear much about Tirzah after this as Samaria became the capital of the Northern Kingdom of Israel, simply called Israel. Jerusalem remained the capital of the Southern Kingdom of Israel called Judah.
History aside, it’s probably Tirzah’s gardens that warrant the city’s mention here. Beyond that, the author is probably presenting his work as an authority for both sister kingdoms. The scripture doesn’t have political eyes.
Chapter 6 starts with the bride’s community joining the search team. They must find the groom for the beautiful bride. Marriage is always a community situation. The Hollywood version of marriage where fake love is exclusively traded between two sinners isn’t at all scriptural.
Then the woman speaks up. She actually knows where her man is. The point here is that while the search is now a community function, the woman, and she alone knows and should define her wants. She knows the size, shape, and color of her groom
And now the groom speaks. He is around after all! He declares his love for the bride – comparing his bride to both Tirzah and Jerusalem.
Several centuries later, the bride is in bad shape. Tirzah, represented by Samaria and Jerusalem. They are called out for adultery by several prophets, notably Ezekiel.
The Bible is one long story about the LORD God and His people. In some places, the LORD God is the Shepherd while His people are the sheep. In this Book and particularly in the Book of Ezekiel, The LORD God is the groom while Israel is the bride.
There is a time when the bride is described in glowing terms. This is the time before Genesis 3 – the famous fall. There is also a time when the bride is described as lowly, sinful, stupid, down and out. The saint can look at his life as the bride and check the Groom’s description against his or her name.
The groom must explain his absence. He had gone out and before he realized it, his desire for other things kept him away from the bride. Are we back to the little foxes that ruin the vines? Men must watch out for things that can possibly keep them away from the joys of marriage, including work. Verses 11 and 12.
The chapter closes with an envious groom protecting his bride from the piercing eyes of the community.

Honolulu, Hawaii 2021-09-15 23:30:00 –
Conservation groups today filed a notice of intention to sue for endangered species law violations if they do not correct the lighting that states that Maui’s Grand Wailea Resort is harming and killing endangered seabirds.
Earthjustice, an environmental law office, News On behalf of the Hawaii Conservation Council and the Biodiversity Center. This notice notifies Grand Wailea of its intention to file a proceeding in federal court within 60 days.
For more than a decade, according to the group, the bright light of luxury resorts has harmed the endangered Hawaiian petrel by redirecting seabirds as they move from their nests and bird colonies to the ocean. rice field.
Birds confuse artificial light with moonlight. Moonlight is usually a way to find a way to the sea.
Seabirds orbit these artificial lights until they are exhausted and fall to the ground or collide with artificial structures. Once grounded, they struggle to fly again and are vulnerable to predators, starvation, or being hit by cars.
According to Earth Justice, Maui has multiple bright light sources, but Grand Wailea’s 40-acre site stands out among all the hotels on the island as being particularly harmful to Hawaiian shearwaters.
For example, the Maui Inui Seabird Recovery Project has recorded injuries and deaths of Hawaiian petrels from lighting in Grand Wailea almost every year since 2009. However, the notice states that these are only “the tip of the iceberg.”
“After decades of endangered species law violations, it’s far more time for Grand Wailea Resort to change that,” Reina Alaray, a lawyer at Earth Justice’s Central Pacific Office, said in a news release. Said. “There are common-sense modifications that can be made to make Grand Wailea a responsible neighbor and protect Hawaii’s dangerous seabirds. Otherwise, Hawaiian petrel, a unique bird that doesn’t live anywhere else on the planet. There is a risk of losing seeds like swallows. “
Earthjustice has filed similar proceedings over the years To the Hawaii Department of Transport via airport and port lights, As Maui County above LED street lights, And the former St. Regis Princeville Resort on Kauai in bright light.
St. Regis Princeville, now one Hotel Hanalei Bay on Kauai, Agreed to settle in 2010 Turn off and shield the assets and funding programs that address the recovery of endangered and endangered seabirds.
Birds are especially vulnerable in October and November, known as the “fallout season.” During this time, young birds that first leave their nests and jump into the sea fall due to artificial light changes.
Moana Boujdour, Secretary-General of the Hawaii Conservation Council, said the fallout season occurs simultaneously on Maui each year.
“There’s no reason Grand Wailea hasn’t yet put in place a protocol to prevent fledgling deaths at this critical time,” she said in a news release.
The Star Advertiser contacted a Grand Wailea spokeswoman for an opportunity to respond, but did not respond by 5 pm today.
