Character Intro: Perses (Kingdom of Ichor)

Nicknames- The Destroyer, The Ravager by the people of Olympius

Atomic Wonder by Ares

Dynamite Dad by Hecate

Bro by Pallas

Age- 51 (immortal)

Location- The Underworld

Personality- He's an energetic, expressive man with a shocking commanding presence. He's also quick-witted & inventive. Perses does have the tendency to be aggressive, explosive, and impatient. He's married.

As the Titan god of destruction he has many abilities like being able to control and generate smoke, lightning redirection, pyrokinesis, disintegrating objects with just a touch & the ability of molecular combustion. He's often been described as giving off the natural scent of gunpowder.

His immediate family includes his wife Asteria (Titaness of falling stars, astrology, magic, necromancy, and nocturnal oracles & prophecies) and their daughter Hecate (goddess of magic & witchcraft).

Even though he resides in the Underworld with his wife (mainly to be close to their daughter), Perses' businesses/jobs are located on Olympius. He has a factory in the state of Colchis where different kinds of explosives, bombs, and pyrotechnics are made. Perses also sometimes teaches physics as well as molecular science at the University.

Despite his new residence, Perses remembers the early years when he and his wife used to live in Delos, watching their daughter grow up. A fond memory he has of that time was when he and Hecate went on an "expedition" of sorts- to Mt. Etna in Sicilios. This is where he first taught her how to lava surf.

His go-to drink is a dark n' stormy (a drink made with dark rum, ginger beer, & lime). He also likes red wine, negronis, and rum & cokes. He also enjoys when his wife brews him oolong tea.

One of his guilty pleasures is smoking cigars. He often smokes Plutopack cigarettes.

Perses' "brother for eternity" is Pallas (Titan god of battle & warcraft). Those two have a very close friendship and he even made him his daughter’s godfather. Perses offered him to live at his house in Colchis ever since his divorce was finalized. They've been through a lot, supporting each other during the Titanomachy.

In the pantheon he's also good friends with Acheron (Titan god of pain), Menoetius (Titan god of rage, violence, rash actions), Draco (god of dragons), Homadus (god of the battle-din), Adikia (goddess of injustice & wrongdoing), Coeus (Titan god of foresight, intellect, & knowledge), Nomos (god of laws), Alastor (god of blood feuds & vengeance), Ponos (god of hard labor & toil), Dyssebeia (goddess of ungodliness & impiety), Kydoimos (god of uproar & battlefield confusion), Polemos (god of war cry & battle), Enyo (goddess of war, destruction, bloodlust, & devastation), Nyx (goddess of the night), Leto (Titaness of demurity & motherhood), Phlegethon (Titan god of fire), and Erebus (god of darkness). Perses hasn't spoken much to Styx (Titaness of hatred) and he thinks that Lethe (Titaness of forgetfulness, oblivion, & concealment) is her annoying shadow. Perses doesn't like Zeus (god of the sky, thunder, & lightning) or Poseidon (god of the sea & earthquakes) much, since they both tried making a play for his wife.

He's the ultimate master of kyusho jitsu (pressure point martial arts). He also taught his wife and daughter. Perses once KO'd Ares (god of war) accidentally while demonstrating a particular offensive move on him.

One of Perses' favorite desserts is the black cherry baklava.

He once also "accidentally" disintegrated his wife's underwear during a date night out.

Perses loves his wife's cooking, especially when she makes sunomono, chankonabe, and fried eggplant gyros.

In his free time, he enjoys working out, reading, mountain climbing, basketball, football (soccer), hiking, lava surfing, hunt, wrestling, and sword fighting.

Perses once (along with Phlege and Erebus) drunkenly took a trip to Tartarus where he almost made the gates that were holding in the remnants of Kronos explode! Let's just say he had to pay a lot in damages!

"Being explosive isn't always a bad thing!"

What are the health benefits of mineral water?

Water is essential for human survival and is important for the body to function at its best. As if that weren't enough, it is the primary component of all fundamental bodily fluids, including blood, urine, synovial fluid, saliva, and more. All of your bodily functions are regulated when you drink water, and the body receives several additional advantages. Many of us disregard the value of regularly consuming water and fail to fully comprehend what water accomplishes for our bodies. While water has the molecular formula H2O, it is crucial to realize that natural water also contains trace amounts of important minerals. Actually, according to research, drinking water is a crucial source of nutrients for the human body. This is because the minerals and trace elements that are present in water are ionized, and our digestive system can readily absorb these ions.

All of the necessary minerals are typically received via a balanced diet. However, some minerals in water are more readily absorbed than those in food. Natural mineral waters may be a crucial source of calcium, magnesium, and other minerals, according to Dr. Chanda Gokhale, a doctorate in food science and nutrition. Due to their high bioavailability, the calcium and magnesium included in mineral water are effectively absorbed by our bodies. According to a study, mineral water with increased magnesium contents is a calorie-free source of magnesium that helps ensure enough magnesium intake. Minerals in drinking water can considerably supplement nutritional consumption, claims Medical News Today. Both calcium and magnesium can be absorbed more effectively through water than through food since water has a higher bioavailability of both nutrients than food does. please visit this link https://ponorevival.com/product/pono-revival-shower-filter/ and you get locally crafted ultra-pure, natural mineral-based hydrogen-rich alkaline living water.

May promote bone health: Adequate calcium intake is important for bone health at all stages of life, as it aids bone development and maintenance. Mineral water has been shown to be a good source of calcium. In fact, studies have shown that your body can absorb calcium from mineral water as effectively as — if not better than — calcium from dairy products. One study of 255 postmenopausal women found that those who regularly drank calcium-rich mineral water had significantly higher bone mass density than those who drank water with lower levels of calcium. Furthermore, the bicarbonate and magnesium found in mineral water may also support strong bones.

Can help with constipation: Magnesium-rich mineral water may also help prevent and treat constipation. Research has shown that magnesium draws water into the intestines and relaxes intestinal muscles. Combined, this makes stools softer and easier to pass. A 6-week study in 106 people with functional constipation found that drinking 17 ounces (500 ml) of magnesium and sulfate-rich mineral water per day significantly improved bowel movement frequency and stool consistency. That said, keep in mind that adequate fluid intake — regardless of mineral content — has been shown to improve digestion and help maintain regular bowel movements.

May help lower blood pressure: Research suggests that inadequate calcium and magnesium levels may contribute to high blood pressure, which is a risk factor for heart disease. A recent study associated drinking water high in magnesium and calcium with significantly lower blood pressure levels. Given that mineral water can be a good source of both of these nutrients, drinking it may help lower blood pressure levels, especially in people who have elevated levels. One 4-week study in 70 adults with borderline high blood pressure found that drinking at least 34 ounces (1 liter) of natural mineral water per day significantly lowered blood pressure levels. However, a review of 20 studies looking at mineral water’s effect on blood pressure found inconsistent results. Therefore, more studies are needed to better understand the relationship between drinking mineral water and blood pressure.

May benefit heart health: Carbonated mineral water may also protect against heart disease. Two studies in postmenopausal women found that drinking 17–34 ounces (0.5–1 liter) of carbonated mineral water per day significantly reduced levels of triglycerides and LDL (bad) cholesterol while increasing levels of HDL (good) cholesterol. The magnesium in this water may also benefit heart health, as one study associated higher levels of magnesium in water with a decreased risk of dying from heart disease. While promising, more long-term studies are needed to determine how drinking mineral water affects measures of heart health.

🔺July 17, 2019 — Mauna Kea Access Road — TMT Shutdown 🔺

Being able to visit Mauna Kea and witness my fellow Hawaiians demonstrating peacefully and powerfully was an amazing experience and I was lucky to be on Moku Nui by chance. It feels amazing to be apart of this history and this movement. It brings joy to my heart to see my people coming together to support those that have been fighting so hard to protect the land. It seems insane to me that we as Hawaiians are not allowed to try and protect what is important to us while the government or any other entity gets to claim it as their own while they use our Hawaiian words and concepts such as kapu or Imua TMT (TMT supporters)

Knowing that just hours before me and my family arrived that the road was shutdown and kupuna were being arrested is crazy to think of considering how peaceful and purposeful the atmosphere. In a way I’m glad we weren’t there to experience that because it would’ve been very painful to see.

I got this tattoo the day after visiting and was planning it on the way up to the Mauna. But I’m glad to be able to commemorate being there and hope to embody this word and the meanings I connect to it everyday as passionately as I can.

Now that I’m back home on Oʻahu and I see the current news coverage on how the amount of people demonstrating is growing and how the support is growing also I feel so happy. (All of the photos at Mauna Kea access road were from the 17th but if find news coverage of how many were there today you’d see how much it’s grown) Though there are others that try to make this movement and this demonstration (mhmm IGE and TMT supporters) I can see that we as Hawaiian people have found a chance to prove our love and support for the ʻĀina and those that protect it. I can only hope that as the movement grows that love and understanding will grow and that everything remains passionate yet peaceful.

New Predator Proof Fence Protects Endangered Hawaiian Waterbirds on Oahu

A new predator fence at Pearl Harbor National Wildlife Refuge on O’ahu protects endangered waterbirds and native and migratory birds from invasive species like cats, rats, and mongooses. The 3,300-foot long fence surrounds 30 acres of wetlands – the first predator fence in the world designed specifically to protect a wetland and waterbirds.

”We expect this fence to help our endangered waterbirds by preventing invasive, non-native mammals from preying on their eggs and young,” said Eric VanderWerf, Director of Science at Pacific Rim Conservation.

The Honouliuli Unit of the Pearl Harbor National Wildlife Refuge provides essential habitat for the endangered Ae‘o (Hawaiian stilt), ‘Alae ke‘oke‘o (Hawaiian coot), ‘Alae ‘ula (Hawaiian moorhen), and Koloa maoli (Hawaiian duck). Habitat loss and predation have contributed significantly to the decline of these native species. The installation of this fence and removal of predators should improve reproductive success for the species that nest here.

“Protected wetlands like those at Pearl Harbor National Wildlife Refuge are essential for the future of endangered water birds here in Hawai‘i,” said Acting Refuge Manager Shannon Ludwig. “Working together with partners like Pacific Rim Conservation, projects like the predator fence contribute to the recovery of these endangered species.”

This is the third predator fence on a national wildlife refuge in Hawai‘i, and the second built by Pono Pacific Land Management. Pacific Rim Conservation and the Service also have partnered to build predator exclusion fences to protect endangered, native, and migratory birds from invasive predators at Kilauea Point National Wildlife Refuge on Kaua’i and James Campbell National Wildlife Refuge near Kahuku on O’ahu.

Pearl Harbor NWR was established in 1972 as mitigation for construction of the Honolulu International Airport Reef Runway. The Honouliuli and Waiawa Units are managed under a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Navy. The Kalaeloa Unit, once part of the former Barber's Point Naval Air Station, was established during military base closure proceedings in 2001 to protect native plants. Through these cooperative efforts with the Federal Aviation Administration, the State of Hawai‘i, and the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service made the Pearl Harbor NWR a reality.

While the seven senior wizarding schools are the best known places for magical education in the United States, the local private schools have produced witches and wizards of the most interesting talent. The magic of the Hawai’ian Islands is odd, old, and adaptive - as is the native Islanders. They were teaching magic amoung their people long before they were visited.

The Hawai’ian Islands didn’t officially become a US state until 1959. Before that, the magic folk from the islands weren’t accepted into Ilvermorny until they became a territory in 1900. Ilvermorny saw very few native witches and wizards attend. It wasn’t until the turn of the 21st century that there was a surge of native Hawai’ians in the population of Ilvermorny. This was largely due to the people establishing their own magical educational system that harnessed mana.

Mana is a spiritual energy and healing power which can exist in places, objects, and persons. Hawai’ians believe that mana may be gained or lost by actions, both external and internal. A person may gain mana by pono (right actions). In ancient Hawaii, there were two paths to mana: sexual means or violence. Nature is dualistic, and everything has a counterpart. A balance between the gods Kū and Lono formed, through whom are the two paths to mana (ʻimihaku, or the search for mana). Kū, the god of war and politics, offers mana through violence. Lono, the god of peace and fertility, offers mana through sexuality.

However, it is believed that magic in the islands started with the god Kanaloa. Considered to be the partner god that balanced Kāne, the ruler of the Underworld and a teacher of magic. The story of Kanaloa differs greatly, but some believe he is the source of a third type of mana. Being able to unlock and tame this mana is what is believe to be the source of magic for the people of Hawai’i.

Many families and tribes had elders school the next generation for decades, which then grew into a proper hālau (school). When James Cook visited in 1778, Kanaloa Hālau ‘o Mana had been established for at least 100 years already. Primitive, yet very capable of producing well-taught haumana (students).

Kanaloa proper exists on the island of Molokaʻi - an island believed to possess mana - tunneled and carved out of the side of the sea cliffs. First, only those native to the islands were allowed to attend. As time went on, this regulation was amended to allow those who were citizens of the State of Hawai’i for at least three years to attend Kanalao. With this and other changes, some kumu (teachers) decided they should be true to the literal meaning of hālau,��“a branch from which many leaves grow”. It was decided that the school should be expanded to the other islands for access. Now, a campus exists carved out of the sides of the volcanos on each of the islands. Kanaloa proper offers the widest varieties of studies, and the branched off campuses will always offer at least the necessities for studying magic with additional classes as staffing permits.

The haumana of Kanalao are complimented for their capabilities in transfiguration, divination, and flying, as well as being known to be unconventional duelers. Students study for 12 years in line with the education requirement implemented by MACUSA. The primary years are focused on basic learning (math, science, language arts, ect.) with few interjections of magical learning. Once in the eighth year, magical studies become the core of the curriculum while continuing to progress in basic learning. Kanalao is unique in where their magical studies focus on possible career possibilities.

Quodpot, and later quidditch, were introduced shortly before the islands became a state. Natives had been flying and creating brooms for generations with other local games. While these games have not been abandoned, the Islanders have enjoyed dominating the national leagues. The quodpot and quidditch teams of Kanalao are feared, to say the least. Not only are the haumana sharp fliers but their brooms are of interesting crafting. The brooms are crafted in a class only taught in Kanalao proper in a workroom under intense defensive charms. The crafting of the brooms is one of the most closely guarded trade secrets of the school. The only teams with access to these brooms are the Kanalao teams and the state teams in Honolulu. Many great fliers leave Kanalao with contracts for some of the best flying teams in the country if not internationally.

Home for a sec to Hanai Kaha’i and lomilomi with @eh_no_ka and @olivia.wa. I made Papakuiai for Mama Karratti because she told her hooponopono story and this was a resolution, it is now handed down to Enoka with its responsibilities. As promised, like a child, Papakuiai or pohaku made from our workshops comes with ohana fotos, your only young once but your youth can last a lifetime if malama. Somebody’s gotta have family fotos. As our family continues to teach Hawaiian Culture and legacy of practitioners around other obligations and globe, our resources must also be cultivated in our remote pantry. Spoke with @kamalii_challenge and @kauaiunconquered and that was a laugh, they unknowingly agree in two separate convo, “how is this organized and where is this energy from?”, now that I can’t tell you, maybe one day Temana will have words for it. Homeschool has its perks, and it became public after threw everything in reverse. As for @scale124 , i think we gotta buy him one another freezer, and that may also be for others in our hui 🤭🥰 because 10 years gone by and im still not fond of aphids and limpys aina or kula. We need more room for aumakua magic and hes kept his words. Aunty @tuti_kanahele said, make that magic. If not for her and few others, this family initiatives wouldnt have been able to happen. I love science its a major part of our spiritual life too, so we are back again in dropping footage…if Kaha’i , Ehu, Temana, JJ and Charley has anything to say about it…because they are semi-manning the cameras- its gonna be a wild one (these kids are crazier than me and Temana out together). Plans going in the pono direction. P.S. If you were able to get invited into this private IG in our public window last 2 weeks. Welcome to HWM. Our public urban IG @alohaalliance and social club and cafe website built by mentorship of our 8-20 year olds www.alohaalliance.club [of course i sleep…sometimes.

ANO ANG MAGANDANG NAIDULOT NANG INTERNET AT SOCIAL MEDIA SA MGA MAG AARAL

Maraming naidulot ang social media isa na dito ang komunikasyon sa mga kaklase at guro at kahit paman kaibigan malaking tulong itong internet na ito lalo na't ngayon may pandemya halos lahat nasa bahay. Ang pagbibigay ng tamang impormasyon na nakakatulong sa aking mga ginawang pananaliksik lalo na sa aking mga takdang aralin, ngunit mas mainam parin ang pagbabasa ng aklat. Nakatulong ito sa pagpapalago ng aking self confidence. kapag nagbabahagi tayo ng mga video bg ating mga sayaw, pagbabahagi ng mga gawa nating mga drawing sa mga social media, nakakatulong itong maibahagi ang ating mga talento sa iba.nakakatulong itong maging malapit tayo sa ating mga guro at magkaroon ng magandang komunikasyon sa kanila tungo sa ating pagkatuto. Limitasyon ang kailangan para hindi magkaroon ng masamang dulot ang social media sa atin bilang mag mag aaral. kung gagamit tayo ng internet,mas unahin natin yung may kinalaman sa ating pag aaral, hindi yung magbubukas muna tayo ng Facebook o twitter bago natin gawin ang ating mga takdang aralin o panaliksik. pagiging tamad ang pinakakarinawang masamang epekto ng paggamit ng social media sa atin bilang mga mag aaral dahil imbis na matuto tayong gumagamit na lang tayo ng internet sa pananaliksik.Sa paggamit natin ng mga aklat bilang sanggunian, mas lumalawak ang ating kaalaman at nagiging mahusay tayo sa pagbabasa. hindi katulad ng internet isang click molang, lalabas na agad ang mga sagot at impormasyon kaya aasa ka na lang tuloy sa mga google kaysa sa pagbabasa ng mga aklat subalit ayon sa ibang mga dalubhasa. wala daw makakatapat na kahit anong textbook ay naglalaman lamang ng isang asignatura di katulad sa social media, maraming impormasyon kang makukuha at makakatulong sa lahat ng iyong mga asignatura maging filipino, mathematics, science, English, at kahit ano pa major man o minor subjects. Nabibigyan ng magandang pagkakataon ang mga mag aaral upang lalo pang malinang ang kanilang pagkamalikhain o pagkamakasining at patuloy na pagkakaroon ng mga makabagong ideya. ang mga kakayahan o talento ng bawat isa ay matutuklasan, halimbawa kung ang isang tao ay magaling umawit, maari siyang matuklasan nang mas madali sa pamamagitan ng videos. maari ding gamitin ang google, isang website upang makapanaliksik ng tungkol sa ibat ibang aralin. at ang mga saloobin ng bawat isa ay madaling maipahayag ilan sa mga mabubuting epekto ay ang madaling pagkalat ng mga kaalaman o mga impormasyon mabilis na pakikipag ugnayan sa mga taong kasama sa trabaho o hindi man. Sa panahon ngayun naging parte ng ating pang araw araw na pamumuhay ang internet lalo na sa mga kabataan at mga estudyante. marami itong tulong tulad ng nakapagbibigay ito ng impormasyon at nakakatulong ito sa pagunawa ng mga bagay o salita na hindi natin maintindihan. natutulungan din tayo nito sa mga gawain sa skwela at sa pamamagitan ng internet ay nadagdagan ang ating kaalaman tungkol sa ibat ibang na naibibigay ng internet sa atin ay ang social media.tulad ng internet at iba pang. naibigay na benepisyo ang particular na sa mga estudyante sa sarili natin na.

KŪ KIAʻI MAUNA

The following are concrete action steps you can take to #standwithmaunakea, no matter where you are. Updated Sunday 8/16 @ 9 PM

▲ URGENT ACTION ❗️ SUBMIT TESTIMONY at Governor David Ige’s website and survey. Be sure to select “Oppose”, and elaborate on your reasons for your opposition. Cite cultural, spiritual, ecological, political, environmental, scientific, or other reasons and explain how you are personally affected if possible. Remember to include your full name, age, and location (city/state/island). CLICK HERE FOR SURVEY ▲ Go stand on the mauna. We need bodies on the frontline. This is the chance to stop TMT construction on Mauna Kea. • Please come in Kapu Aloha. Come ready to stand firmly with aloha & respect for all relations. What this means: 1) KAPU ALOHA ALWAYS 2) No weapons, no smoking of ANY kind, no alcohol. 3) Mālama each other. If you see someone who could use help, step up and step in. 4) Ask consent for any photography or videos 5) Pick up any and all ʻopala (rubbish) you see - in camp, on Puʻuhuluhulu, and along all roadways. 6) Stay on designated trails on Puʻuhuluhulu. Take a partner when you go. 7) Follow the direction of Kapu Aloha reps (all wearing blue T-shirts which say KAPU ALOHA 8) Be Pono! • Bring everything you need to be in extremely hot&sunny as well as extremely wet&cold conditions. Check the supply lists and bring enough for yourself plus extra for others. Think zero waste - bring your own mess kit, ʻomole wai (water bottle), coffee mug, and plastic free supplies. • Come ready to work. There is a lot that needs to be done to keep camp running smoothly. Check in with the welcome table and folks wearing blue Kapu Aloha shirts; they can direct you to the best way for you to kōkua. There are plenty of things to be done, from caring for kupuna, to cleaning & organizing, to delivering sunscreen and water to kiaʻi, to carrying goods, being in prayer, etc. • There have been intermittent road closures on Saddle road - please check the Department of Transportation for updates. Access may be restricted at times. • Be ready to walk. Even when the road is open, the closest you may be able to park is 800m away from the Access road. • Consider your reason for being on the mauna. Taking selfies and waving flags is good, but why are you really there? If you cannot connect to a sacred purpose, please reconsider going to the mauna. • If you cannot maintain the discipline of Kapu Aloha at all times on the mauna, please excuse yourself from the space. If you are asked to leave (especially by leadership), please leave. • When you leave the mauna, please check with folks who may need a ride in the direction you are going, and offer to carry ʻopala (garbage, recycling, green waste) down with you to dispose of.

All funds donated will cover bail for any kiaʻi that are arrested on the mauna. After bail is posted, that money revolves back into the Fund in order to help future defendants avoid pretrial jail time. CLICK HERE

▲ Donate money to HULI (Hawaii Unity and Liberation Institute). HULI provides nonviolent direct action training to kiaʻi mauna. CLICK HERE - Check it out! -- Our friends at NDN Collective will be matching all gifts dollar for dollar up to $3k. CLICK HERE

▲ Donate supplies by dropping off materials at Keaukaha General Store in Hilo, or at Puʻuhonua o Puʻuhuluhulu on Saddle Road at Mauna Kea Access Road. CLICK HERE FOR COMPLETE SUPPLY LIST

▲ Donate supplies to the Mauna Medic Healers Hui by visiting their Facebook page and clicking DONATE on the righthand side (desktop, mobile may appear differently). ▲Donate airline miles to help kiaʻi mauna from other islands stand on the mauna, as well as ʻāina-based educators to host workshops at Puʻuhonua O Puʻuhuluhulu. CLICK HERE to login to your Hawaiian Airlines account; you will be taken directly to a page where you can donate.

▲ Find a direct action event near you. ʻŌiwi TV and Kamamauula News are keeping a master list of direct actions, demonstrations, rallies, and sign waving protests in all states and countries, not just Hawaiʻi. CLICK HERE FOR THE MASTER LIST You can also plan an event in your hometown and send it to [email protected].

▲ Follow @kahookahi, @kanikapu, @primefootage, @protectmaunakea, @hawanemusic, @anarchist.nerd.moke, @oiwitv, and others on Instagram for up-to-the-moment updates.

▲ Contact TMT Project Manager Gary Sanders: (626)395-2997, [email protected] • Share your name, location, and request relocating the project. You can also quote him as previously being interested in alternative locations: • In 2017 Mr. Sanders stated, “If we kept on encountering obstacles to placing it on Hawaiʻi, we would be very happy to build it in the Canaries. With the TMT on La Palma, we could do marvelous astronomy.” • Via tmtlapalma.org: “All of the alternative sites considered were excellent for carrying out the core science of the TMT and the interactions with potential host countries and organizations were uniformly very positive.” • Please be respectful.

▲ Call the Governor’s office (David Ige): (808)586-0034 State your first and last name, the island (or town) you are from, and that you oppose the TMT. Please be respectful.

▲ Contact all TMT partners. If even ONE pulls out, the entire project would fall apart. Ask them to reconsider their involvement in TMT. Cite cultural, ecological, or legal concerns. Please be respectful.

▲ Contact the Universities and Institutions backing TMT and ask them to pull funding from TMT. You can also gather to demonstrate and wave signs at school campuses. Please be respectful.

▲ Sign the petition calling for immediate halt to construction. CLICK HERE

▲ Pick an action from the list: 30 Ways to Stand for Mauna Kea when you cannot physically stand on Mauna Kea -- complete your action, take a photo, and post it with the hashtag #30waystostand to Instagram to be included in a group message to kiaʻi standing on the Mauna.

▲ If you are a student or professional in the field of astronomy, spark meaningful conversations amongst your networks around ethics in scientific practice. Challenge the idea that development in the name of scientific discovery is more important than cultural, ecological, and social wellbeing (especially for indigenous and aboriginal peoples).

▲ If you or someone you know can offer legal representation for Kiaʻi Mauna, please contact the Native Hawaiian Legal Corporation at (808)521-2302 or [email protected]. Kaniela Ing has also offered to help connect and set up any attorneys willing to donate their time and labor, and can be reached through Instagram or Twitter @KanielaIng.

▲ Learn about Hawaiʻi’s history. Break down the concept of Hawaiʻi that you may have absorbed from dominant Western culture. Understand the colonization story that has and continues to take place on this ʻāina. Where do you find yourself in relation to this history? What did you learn that was different from what you may have thought to be true? How have you been complicit in the ongoing commodification of Hawaiʻi and its people? What’s one thing you can do today to integrate the knowledge gained? - You can access many resources on the internet and in libraries. Hawaiʻi’s Story by Hawaiʻi’s Queen is an excellent place to start, as is the Bishop Museum exhibit, Unreal. There are also many groups focused on the preservation of Hawaiʻi’s history, such as the Kona Historical Society. The opportunities for learning are almost endless if you look around, reach out, and put in the little bit of effort to get educated.

That’s a fresh and beautiful bouquet!

The words “mom” and “weed” in the same sentence used to be enough to send any stoner into a fit of paranoia. Google those words together today and it’s obvious that times have changed. The “Weed Mom” has replaced the “Wine Mom;” a self-described “stoner mom” runs a lifestyle blog for other cannabis-using mothers, and the “Cannavist Mom” is conducting an…

PGV eyes new wells

The state Department of Land and Natural Resources is reviewing applications for two new geothermal wells at Puna Geothermal Venture.

The applications were filed March 1, the department confirmed, and come as PGV moves to resume operations after being isolated by last year’s Kilauea eruption. The permits require approval from DLNR Chairwoman Suzanne Case.

Mike Kaleikini, PGV’s senior director of Hawaii affairs, said the 38-megawatt geothermal power plant still is assessing wells that were covered by lava or plugged during the eruption. He described the applications as a contingency.

“We’re still assessing the conditions of existing wells,” Kaleikini said.

“We just want to be prepared in the event for some reason we need a new well.”

He said DLNR has to approve reuse of existing wells and permits for new well construction. Permits for new wells would be good for one year.

PGV, which aims to restart operations by the end of the year, is allowed to build as many as 28 wells under a plan of operation approved in 2006. It currently has 11 wells — five for injection and six for production — that range in depths of 4,000 feet and 8,000 feet.

While a public hearing isn’t required for the permits, the state Public Utilities Commission is requiring PGV and Hawaii Electric Light Co. to hold a hearing regarding construction of new transmission lines.

A DLNR spokesman said the department has 60 days to review the permit applications, which were resubmitted April 4 after being deemed incomplete.

The plant produced 31 percent of the island’s power and about half of its renewable energy in 2017, according to HELCO. Critics of the state’s only geothermal power plant want to see more steps taken before it resumes operation or builds new wells.

They’ve also questioned whether the plant is needed as two 30-megawatt solar-plus-battery projects are planned for West Hawaii. Utility officials have said they still need geothermal to meet renewable energy goals and because it’s a firm power source.

Bob Petricci, president of Puna Pono Alliance, which is critical of geothermal development, said an environmental impact statement should be done before PGV restarts or builds new wells. He said the group, which also is seeking a contested case hearing for renewal of the plant’s air permit, plans to file a lawsuit regarding that issue.

“We do have concerns,” Petricci said. “It relates to rushing back into an unknown reality with their history in particular. You know the geology is different, the resource has changed. It’s hotter, it’s more fluid.”

He said caution is needed even if there are far fewer homes nearby because of the eruption.

Among their concerns, critics cite PGV’s well blowout in 1991 that caused uncontrolled venting for 31 hours.

The last gas release was in 2014 when the plant’s transmission lines were severed during Tropical Storm Iselle, prompting it to shut down.

PGV maintains gas amounts during that release were small, about 100 pounds of hydrogen sulfide, and that employees on site suffered no ill effects, though some nearby residents who were unable to leave at the time claim they were impacted.

In comparison, sulfur dioxide emissions from Kilauea climbed to more than 50,000 metric tons per day during the eruption.

Critics say more monitoring is needed to know how much gas is released by PGV during those events.

While assessments of the wells are ongoing, Kaleikini referred to the progress as “promising.”

“The rigs are set up removing the plugs as we speak,” he said.

Some of the fissures erupted on the edge of PGV’s property.

Kaleikini said that may lead to more underground heat, but he doesn’t think they are at risk of tapping into the magma dike based on the location of the fissures.

PGV encountered a pocket of magma while drilling in 2005. Kaleikini said the molten rock, left from past eruptions, solidified in the hole.

“It’s not like you have a big gusher,” he said.

Assessments of existing wells have shown the geothermal resource is about 50 degrees hotter than it was before the eruption, Kaleikini said, but still cooler than when PGV began operations nearly 30 years ago.

Puna Pono Alliance’s demand for an EIS will include a request many might find controversial.

In addition to assessing impacts the eruption might have had on PGV, Petricci said the group wants it to also determine whether PGV impacted the eruption itself.

He said he doesn’t think it caused the eruption but that it might have had something to do with its intensity.

“I’m not saying that’s what happened,” Petricci said, adding that, “If you look at the line of fissures right along the line of PGV’s boundary,” that raises questions.

The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory debunked claims from some geothermal opponents that PGV could somehow have caused the eruption in a “Volcano Watch” article in April. It said there is no credible model that connects geothermal operations to the eruption, noting the migration of magma started miles away at Pu‘u ‘O‘o.

“Impacts of the LERZ eruption were devastating, but the reason for the lava flow is no simpler than the fact that we live on an active volcanic island,” HVO said. “What happened in 2018 is part of Kilauea’s natural process and was not influenced by human actions.”

But even that statement hasn’t put the issue to bed.

State Sen. Russell Ruderman raised similar comments and questions as Petricci during a discussion regarding the future of the plant last month on PBS Hawaii.

“Are we going to move forward before answering the question: Did this activity contribute at all to the nature and intensity of last year’s eruption?” Ruderman, D-Puna, Ka‘u, said on the program. He noted he doesn’t think PGV caused the eruption but thinks it might have had an impact.

Kaleikini, who participated in the discussion, said he thought Ruderman’s question was absurd. He attributed it to misunderstanding of PGV’s process.

“We know our process,” he said. “For people not to do their homework, to really find out how the process really works in PGV, and to be able to make statements out there … to me that’s irresponsible. That’s borderline fear-mongering.”

In an email, Ruderman said it would be “unscientific” to dismiss these claims without investigating them. He said he hasn’t talked to HVO about his concerns but is creating a “summary for state agencies to urge them to look anew at the changed situation.”

PGV is located on Kilauea’s lower East Rift Zone, and the line of 24 fissures from Leilani Estates to upper Kapoho was not unprecedented in recent history, according to HVO.

“In 1955, Kilauea Volcano erupted in the lower Puna district on the Island of Hawaii for 88 days,” Janet Babb, HVO spokeswoman and geologist said in an email. “The outbreak began on February 28, and was the first eruption in an inhabited area on Kilauea since 1840. During the eruption, at least 24 separate volcanic vents opened up and down the volcano’s East Rift Zone, with lava flows covering about 3,900 acres of land.”

That was followed by another lower East Rift Zone eruption in 1960 that destroyed the village of Kapoho. PGV began operations in the early 1990s.

Babb added that the 1840 eruption that migrated to the East Rift Zone was of similar intensity.

“The lava that erupted in 1840 from the lowest fissure at Kaohe Homesteads advanced to the ocean (distance of 9 miles) in 3 days, through what is now Nanawale Estates,” she said. “By comparison, the 2018 fissure 8 lava advanced to the ocean (distance of 8 miles) in more than a week. The 1840 eruption lasted for about 30 days while the 2018 eruption was most active for 3 months.”

While acknowledging the rift zone is inherently unstable, Petricci said he thinks that PGV reinjecting the condensed steam into the ground through injection wells could have weakened the rock and aided the flow of magma, and compared it to the impacts of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, on earthquakes.

“I don’t think that’s a conspiracy theory,” he said. “If you look at the science, it’s a science question.”

Kaleikini said PGV doesn’t do fracking.

“We drill and we look for naturally permeable zones,” he said.

HVO officials have not noted any correlation between PGV and seismic activity during the plant’s history.

As additional questions are being raised, Tina Neal, HVO scientist-in-charge, said in an email that geologists are “reviewing and preparing a summary of observations regarding questions about PGV and the 2018 eruption.”
