Species from top to bottom: South Island Giant Moa (Dinornis Robustus), Eastern Moa (Emeus Crassus), & The Little Bush Moa (Anomalopteryx Didiformis).
All three along with 6 other Moa species were driven to extinction by hunting and habitat destruction about 600 years ago.

Extinction is a natural process that has been occurring for as long as there’s been life on earth. 99% of all organisms that have ever existed have gone extinct.
However, ongoing animal extinction is no longer a natural occurrence. It’s now a significant problem. This is because the current rate of extinction is higher than ever, and it’s changing the world as we know it. We’re losing many species every year, and many more are on the verge of extinction. If we don’t do something, there will be irreversible damage to ecosystems.
So what causes extinction, and what can we do to slow it down? Let’s discuss.

In the earlier days, diabetes was more commonly restricted to the older population above the age of 40 years. The overall prevalence of type 1 diabetes (the type that can affect younger people) was also low in the earlier days, however, the increasing incidents of diabetes in today’s times have set an alarm for caution for everyone. Many people are affected by diabetes and it is causing severe distress to the mental and physical health aspects. It is a condition that requires a lot of energy to be able to deal with since it plays a role and affects several different parts of one’s life. Along with requiring a lot of energy, it also drains an equal amount of energy.
To be able to effectively take care of and manage the symptoms of diabetes, it would primarily be important to better the food-related aspects. Since diabetes is all about keeping the blood sugar levels under control, the major source of having poor sugar levels is the intake of improper food items. If a person with diabetes can exercise control over unhealthy eating habits, a major portion of the regulation of blood sugars would already be taken care of.
This is why when dealing with diabetes, an individual has to take into account multiple specialists to take guidance from, one of the important ones being a dietician. Soon, words like glycemic index and glycemic load would begin to show importance in their lives as any food that is consumed would be characterized by these factors
Look outside your window and you will probably see dinosaurs. They are flying, hopping, chirping and perching on trees. You call them birds, but they are dinosaurs.
This piece was inspired by Charleston's symbolic iconography, the most famous symbol being the pineapple. I have been visiting Charleston since I was little, and every time I have been, I loved looking at all of the pineapple sculptures, paintings, and images. At the time I was 15 and just bought my first Prismacolor colored pencils. I saw other artists creating hyper realistic images of food and other objects. I was intrigued to try to make something realistic myself, so I choose none other than what I looked forward to seeing when I went to Charleston. When I realized every spike on the pineapple was taking hours at a time, I gradually fell back and stopped working on it. It was not until I decided to enter it into the Celebrating Arts competition to finish what I had started two years ago.
A recent study published in the journal Brain and Cognition has found that creativity is linked with a reduced brain response to unusual, or “oddball,” stimuli. This suggests that creative individuals process the importance of surprising information differently, which may help explain their unique thinking patterns. This diminished brain response might enable creative individuals to access a broader range of information.
