He also mentioned that a mechanical failure in their winery is what they believe caused the leak.
According to the California Office of Emergency Services, 97,000 gallons of wine was spilled into the river, although the winery reported that that number comprises the full capacity of the tank and only 20 to 25 percent spilled from the leak.
“We feel like not that much wine got into the waterway. We are investigating the other tanks. We’ve moved wine out of that area to prevent any future leaks as well,” O’Gorman said.
Executive director of the non-profit Russian River Keeper Don McEnhill assured that there have been volunteers monitoring the status of the water.
He said that “we’re lucky in that it’s winter, the river is high, there’s a fair amount of dilution. We haven’t had any reports of fish kills, certainly the biochemical oxygen demand and the acidity of the wine is going to kill some smaller insect type things that are fish food. This could have been a lot worse.”
The winery outsourced a third-party contractor to pump out the wine that spilled onto the river. The state Department of Fish and Wildlife is conducting an investigation and penalties or misdemeanour charges are highly plausible.

Just last month, the police in Arizona had an interesting day when they pulled over someone in the highway for a strangely good reason.
The police pulled over a driver from the carpool lane on SR-101 because he was caught driving alone, but with a skeleton as his passenger.
The Arizona Department of Public Safety posted a tweet with the photo of the skeleton passenger wearing a hat. Hoping for the skeleton to look like a real person, it was seen covered with tattered bandages and sitting in the passenger seat beside the 62-year-old owner of the car.
The department reported that the man was caught driving in the high-occupancy vehicle lane on the SR-101 near Apache Boulevard in the morning.
He was charged with HOV and window tint violations.

The director of San Gerardo Hospital, Mario Aparone also shared his regrets over one of his valued employee’s death, saying that proper authorities will be investigating the case.
Sadly, this isn’t the first case of a medical worker taking their own life in Italy. According to the National Federation of Nurses, they revealed that a similar incident occurred in Venice, just a couple of days before.

Coronavirus or COVID-19 is a pandemic that started in 2019. It’s a virus that was first identified in Wuhan, the capital of Hubei, China. This has seriously affected the global market as well as tourism, as the disease is very infectious, therefore can spread easily. With that said, it is all but natural for a parent to feel anxious about his child’s safety.
This is what Cao Junjie felt and he was determined to build something he can use to protect his child somehow from this global problem. Carefully thought of and built, the result was a baby pod or safety pod. Junjie, as a 30-year-old father of a two-month-old-baby, built this in a month. He says it should serve as a comfortable and safe environment for his child. At first, his wife did not feel confident about the way the baby would feel inside the pod. She was not sure it would feel comfortable enough. Apparently, after some trials, she changed her mind and was convinced her baby was safe inside the pod her husband created.
SARS-CoV-2 is another name for the coronavirus and it spreads via contact with an object with the virus and then touching the nose, eyes or mouth. This can also spread by just being near someone who has been infected and would then sneeze or cough, allowing the virus to travel by air through the air particles. However, since the virus cannot get that far, there is a 1 meter or 3 feet apart social distancing implementation worldwide. This serves as another way to further prevent being infected by the virus. The world has been fighting off and finding numerous ways to decrease the number of cases of affected people since 2019.

trueactivist--2020-03-27--Photographer Unexpectedly Captures A Breathtaking Photo!

As cliche as it sounds , they say patience is a virtue , and yes it does pay off , eventually and in the most unexpected way !
It ’ s fair enough to say this also applies to photography .
It requires patience and it would definitely pay off , one way or another and in the most breathtaking or shocking ways .
This is exactly what happened to Daniel Biber who has both patience and passion for photography .
He ’ s from Hilzingen , Germany and is a professional wildlife photographer who patiently dedicated his time and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he missed capturing in his camera .
He kept going back to the exact area where he witnessed it .
What was that particular event that got him so obsessed about capturing ?
It was the phenomenon of starlings that happens right before sunset .
In an incredible large flock , they come together in what is called “ Murmuration.
” Murmuration is not exactly extraordinary , but what made it awesome and incredible was the remarkable number of birds that flew and were moving in such seemingly orchestrated ways at that given @ @ @ @ @ @ @ way they were changing into different shapes was a natural way for them to divert their predators ’ attention so that they do not become meals themselves by nightfall , the way they shape-shifted in just a few quick seconds from one shape to another was incredible .
Apparently , Biber has been hoping and trying to capture an awesome moment through his lens that is why he kept going back to the spot for four straight days !
His patience finally paid off but he said it was so unexpected .
He @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he captured was until he was going through the photos he took that day using his computer at home .
He never expected to see the murmuration resulted in an amazing photo of a giant bird and that exact photo awarded Biber with an international photography prize .
Biber stated that it only took the starlings less than ten seconds to create that awesome form !
Biber may have experienced frustration and dismay and worn himself out by going back and forth to the spot he first witnessed yet failed to capture that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ when he was lucky enough to capture an even more amazing photo .
The best part of it ?
It even gave him an international photography prize !
So , patience does pay off .

Hoarding of items such as disposable medicinal gloves , respirators , and masks through basic needs from the grocery or supermarket , such as tissue paper , alcohol and sanitizer has been a global problem these days .

As a solution , a clever supermarket in Denmark called Rotunden came up with a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this may seem like a simple enough trick but it definitely promises to stop hoarding , once and for all .
It ’ s a pricing strategy aimed to provide hand sanitizers to whoever needs it as this certain strategy prevents hoarding .

He added that “a single computer, pump & pressure accumulator would be fine for many patients, but ideally individual valves per patient to personalize care & avoid cross-flow risk.”
Apart from all the newfound fame that Gaithier is receiving, what concerns him more these days is that he belongs to a rural region where most of the 60,000 residents that the hospital serves are of an older age, with existing conditions like diabetes and chronic pulmonary disease.
He also doesn’t want to get any credit for his creation. He stressed that “a lot of work is being done by pretty much everyone.”
Much like other healthcare systems that are struggling with the amount of patients they receive on a daily basis, Gaithier and his colleagues are worried that soon, they may need to choose which patients receive a ventilator and which patients will be left to die – a heartbreaking dilemma that he is hoping on avoiding with this new system in place.

By the coast of the eastern state Odisha in India, there were over 475,000 Olive Ridley sea turtles see coming ashore to the 6km. beach of Rushikulya to dig nests and lay their eggs. This encounter has become so sparse and unique since the turtle species were officially marked endangered because of the few nesting sites they had left.
Because of all the lockdown restrictions that countries have put in place due to COVID-19, this has given half a million endangered turtles to roam freely without any human disturbance – especially tourists that come to these sites to observe this event – which resulted into a successful mass testing that anyone has seen in years.
According to Down to Earth, the forest service has recorded more than 250,00 turtles taking part in daytime nesting activities in the past week alone.
This event would typically bring in a massive number of tourists eager to see this beautiful event, giving the Forest Department members a run for their money trying to keep everyone at a good distance. Crows and jackals also normally attack these turtles when they come ashore, while poachers successfully rob their eggs to sell and local village markets.
This time around, the coronavirus lockdown prevented such disturbances to happen, allowing 25 forest guards and other researchers to give their complete attention to guarding these mother turtles, the Hindu reported.
At around the same time, another successful mass nesting also took place in Gahirmatha Beach, also located along the Bay of Bengal in Odisha. With these two successful nestings, authorities have estimated that 60,000,000 eggs in total have been laid this year.
Each mother lays about 80 to 100 eggs each, with 45 days for the eggs to hatch. After that incubation period, the little hatchlings emerge from the sand to stumble their way innocently to sea.
This is a stunning reversal of fortune for the Olive Ridley turtles, who were not seen laying eggs in these locations last year.
With the shockingly high number of turtles taking part in the even this year, the Forest Department explained that:
“Every alternate year is either a bad year or a good year. However, in the last two years we have seen a phenomenal increase in nesting numbers. This year we have estimated that at least 4.75 lakh [475,000] turtles came on to nest on Rushikulya beach.”

Peru’s National Service of Wild Forests and Fauna (SERFOR) also announced that 300 creatures have already died of arson attacks in the small village of Culden, located in the Cajamarca region when mobs went and intentionally burned them in their caves.
Members of the wildlife service and National Agrarian Health Service (SENASA) were able to rescue around 200 bats from the torch-bearing attackers and later on released the winged animals into another cave far away from Culden.
After the incident, the wildlife agency explained saying: “We must not distort the situation due to the pandemic. Bats are not our enemies.”
Bats are actually beneficial to humans and eradicate other deadly viruses like dengue. Dengue fever is quite common in Southeast Asia and the Americas and have continued their killings, while the whole world has its attention affixed only to the morality rate of the coronavirus pandemic.
SERFOR said: “70 percent of the [bat] species in the world feed off insects, many of which are harmful to agriculture and our health, like mosquitoes that spread dengue and other diseases”.
The head of wild fauna operations at SERFOR, Jessica Galvez-Durand used this opportunity to remind Peruvians that they should refrain against consuming wild animals or using any part of their anatomy for medicinal purposes.

But it was meant to be a gesture of gratitude towards the first responders and healthcare workers. Fortunately, the building’s management came out with an announcement on Twitter:
“Starting tonight through the COVID-19 battle, our signature white lights will be replaced by the heartbeat of America with a white and red siren in the mast for heroic emergency workers on the front line of the fight”

This boy loves art and is a talented artist. He comes from a small city of Arzamas in Nizhny Novgorod, and has been painting beautiful portraits of pets.

He exchanges his portraits for food and supplies which he donates to a local shelter.

Pavel does not get funding from organizations, and he does everything himself. Truly kindhearted and definitely talented. His talent and mission has spread outside the city of Arzamas. Animal lovers from all over Russia, and even abroad, want this young artist to paint portraits of their pets and are more than willing to contribute to his charitable mission. “Kind paintbrush” artworks have travelled all the way to Spain, Germany, and soon to other places.

Kyusha’s amazing portrait was exchanged for 6kg of buckwheat, canned dog food, and bandages and medicines.

Several other pet portraits led to the donation of more meat, bones, buckwheat, trimmings, milk, medicines, dog collars, and more. The shelter in Arzamas has their most valuable volunteer in a 9-year old kid with a big heart. Pavel dreams of becoming an architect someday and building a big shelter in the future. Until that day comes, he will continue on his mission and let his art help the furry citizens of his city.
