  • Alaska Native corp cites agency inaction for missed deadline

    JUNEAU, Alaska — An Alaska Native corporation said it was unable to meet a deadline for aerial surveys of polar bear dens in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge because a federal agency did not issue the necessary authorization in a timely manner. The Kaktovik Inupiat Corp. also took issue with what it calls a “blatant mischaracterization” of what happened and says it is owed an apology. On Saturday, Melissa Schwartz, a spokesperson for the U.S. Department of Interior, said the corporation had confirmed to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service officials that den detection surveys had not been conducted by a Feb. 13 deadline. The corporation was told “their request is no longer actionable, and the Service does not intend to issue or deny the authorization,” she said. Her comments echoed those of Regional U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Director Gregory Siekaniec in a letter to corporation President Matthew Rexford a day earlier. The corporation had sought authorization from the agency for activities that could disturb polar bears as part of a broader proposal to conduct what are known as seismic surveys to search for oil and gas deposits within the refuge’s coastal plain. In December, the Fish and Wildlife Service released for comment a proposed authorization that would allow for “incidental harassment” of polar bears in the coastal plain during a set period for seismic work. More than 6 million comments were received, according to Siekaniec. In his letter, Siekaniec said the agency was unable to review and consider all the comments and “make appropriate refinements” to the proposed authorization and supporting documents before a "key milestone” in the corporation's request, noting the Feb. 13 deadline. Rexford, in a response to the regional director, said the corporation had gotten conflicting messages on the status of that review. He said that the agency had failed his corporation and community. Kaktovik is on the northern edge of the refuge, on the Beaufort Sea coast. He told The Associated Press the corporation is evaluating its next steps. Schwartz on Friday declined comment beyond her previous statement. President Joe Biden’s administration last month announced plans for a temporary moratorium on oil and gas leasing in the refuge after the Trump administration issued leases in a part of the region considered sacred by the Indigenous Gwich’in. The Interior Department says none of the lands proposed for seismic survey activity are within the area that has been leased. Pending lawsuits have challenged the adequacy of the environmental review process undertaken by the Trump administration. Becky Bohrer, The Associated Press

  • Introducing Vanity Makeup -- Ani Goulayan is The Iconic Beauty Influencer That Impacted The Digital World of Makeup Forever

    Ani Goulayan Vanity Makeup Los Angeles, CA, Feb. 26, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- We’d like you to get to know the beauty and brains behind Vanity Makeup -- a multi-faceted empire created by glam queen and beauty influencer, Ani Goulayan. This self-taught artist began her makeup career long before YouTube and Instagram beauty tutorials existed. In fact, she was one of the first creators to make eye-look pictorials go viral on Instagram back in 2012. Since her origins on the platform, after nine years in the making, the makeup artist has gained over 1.3 million followers, opened up her own makeup school, and launched her own cosmetics line. She began her journey as an artist working for free on photoshoots and small events. Eventually, her experience gained her access to a couple of part-time jobs at local beauty salons in Los Angeles. But it wasn’t until she took her talent to social media that her life really took a turn. She created an account under the handle @VanityMakeup, utilizing it as a digital showcase of some of her previous work. After practicing some dramatic eyeshadow looks at home, the artist would photograph the result and upload it onto her page. At the beginning, she created content as a hobby to improve her skill and possibly help build up her local clientele. But once her posts started going viral on the platform, Goulayan was quickly becoming a reputable, sought-after makeup icon. She was gaining an average of 30-50,000 followers a month and consistently being featured on the social platform’s “popular page” (2012’s version of the explore page). A-list celebrities and well-respected makeup artists in the industry took notice of Goulayan’s work and commended her for her talents, all while she established herself as a beauty influencer right around the time the industry began to erupt. Due to high demand, she began to teach small classes of makeup how-to’s consisting of around thirty students. The more popular she grew, the quicker her classes filled up in capacity. Once she found herself teaching masterclasses of over a hundred students, she knew she had the potential to take it a step further. In 2016, she opened the doors to Vanity Makeup School-- an academy located in Los Angeles dedicated to teaching all levels of makeup, along with a self-made space she could also use to work on her personal clients. The first two years of business were a non-stop boom. As if running a business weren’t enough to handle along with keeping up consistency on socials, the creative entrepreneur also decided to begin working on her own line of cosmetics in 2018. Since one of her well-known practices on Instagram is face contouring, she felt it was only appropriate for her first product launch to consist of a contour kit. She worked on the custom formula for two years, along with its custom packaging components. The high-quality pieces were manufactured in Italy and overcame a production process of over a year and a half. In February 2020, the Sculpt & Glow Contour Palette made its official debut in five different shade ranges on www.vanitymakeup.com. Goulayan tells us that she would’ve never expected her makeup career to have come this far. Despite the obstacles she’s faced and the negativity she’s endured, she’s chosen her success amongst all odds and undoubtedly conquered the beauty industry. As far as what the future holds, Vanity Makeup Cosmetics is scheduled to launch two new products by the end of the year, and the makeup artist also has a secret project in the works that should make its debut in the coming months.

  • N.S. retirement home operator pushes province for on-site COVID-19 vaccines

    (Robert Short/CBC - image credit) One of Nova Scotia's largest nursing-home operators is urging the province to bring COVID-19 vaccination clinics into retirement living centres. Only seniors in licensed long-term care homes in the province can get vaccinated on site. The thousands of seniors living in independent or community settings like the Parkland complex in Halifax, owned by Shannex, must go to public clinics. "For the health and safety of our residents, it is our hope that as vaccine supply increases, we can assist in the vaccine rollout by holding on-site vaccination clinics in our retirement living communities," said Katherine Van Buskirk, Shannex's director of communications and community affairs. She said many residents can't travel independently to a public clinic. "Retirement living residents are at risk of COVID-19 because they live in close proximity to other seniors and receive care and services provided by a workforce that lives in the larger community," Van Buskirk told CBC News in a statement. Only Nova Scotia seniors in licensed long-term care homes are getting vaccinated on site. Shannex has 17 long-term care homes in Nova Scotia that are licensed by the Department of Health and Wellness. Its Parkland Retirement Living division has seven locations in Nova Scotia. The average age of seniors who lives at Parkland is 80. Many seniors living 'fairly independently,' says Strang Dr. Robert Strang, Nova Scotia's chief medical officer of health, said Public Health officials are aware of the issue and are looking at how best to accommodate those seniors. "Many of these people, they're still living fairly independently and they do have themselves or family that can get around on a frequent basis already. And so coming to a vaccine clinic is not necessarily that much of a challenge," he told CBC News on Friday. This week, Nova Scotia opened a vaccination clinic at the IWK Health Centre in Halifax, where 500 seniors over the age of 80 were vaccinated. They were chosen by a random draw. The province will hold more clinics across the province for that age group next month. Strang said Nova Scotia has a limited supply of vaccines and lacks the resources to open more clinics. Parkland GM says on-site clinics safer, more convenient Earlier this month, Parkland general manager Jennifer Shannon wrote to residents and their families, encouraging anyone with concerns to contact their MLA. Shannon followed up this week, telling residents and families that Shannex continues to advocate for on-site clinics. "This is a more convenient and safer solution for residents," she wrote. Strang said Friday that the public clinics are safe. He said he visited the IWK clinic and people were physically distancing, wearing masks and taking other precautions. "We have infection-control practitioners at the hospital that have provided guidance about how to have the right level of infection control as people come into these clinics," he said. "So I'm very comfortable that these clinics are actually very safe." MORE TOP STORIES

  • Durham remains special counsel overseeing Trump-Russia probe

    WASHINGTON — U.S. Attorney John Durham said Friday that he will resign from his position as the top federal prosecutor in Connecticut but is remaining as a special counsel to oversee the Justice Department's investigation into the origins of the Russia probe that shadowed Donald Trump’s presidency. Durham will resign from his post as U.S. attorney for Connecticut on Monday. But Durham, who was appointed in October by then-Attorney General William Barr as a special counsel to investigate the origins of the Trump-Russia probe, will remain in that capacity. Like Durham, nearly every other U.S. attorney who served in the Trump administration was asked earlier this month to submit their resignations as the Biden administration moves to transition to its own nominees. The FBI in July 2016 began investigating whether the Trump campaign was co-ordinating with Russia to sway the outcome of the presidential election. That probe was inherited nearly a year later by special counsel Mueller, who ultimately did not find enough evidence to charge Trump or any of his associates with conspiring with Russia. The early months of the investigation, when agents obtained secret surveillance warrants targeting a former Trump campaign aide, have long been scrutinized by Trump and other critics of the probe who say the FBI made significant errors. A Justice Department inspector general report backed up that criticism but did not find evidence that mistakes in the surveillance applications and other problems with the probe were driven by partisan bias. Durham’s investigation, which the Justice Department has described as a criminal probe, had begun very broadly but Barr said in December that it had “narrowed considerably” and that it was “really is focused on the activities of the Crossfire Hurricane investigation within the FBI.” Durham’s investigation has so far resulted in one prosecution so far. A former FBI lawyer was sentenced to probation last month for altering an email the Justice Department relied on in its surveillance of an aide to President Donald Trump during the Russia investigation. The U.S. attorneys transition process, which happens routinely between administrations, applies to a few dozen U.S. attorneys who were appointed by Trump and confirmed by the Senate and many of the federal prosecutors who were nominated by Trump already left their positions. A senior Justice Department official told the AP earlier this month that David Weiss, the U.S. attorney in Delaware, overseeing the federal tax probe involving Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, will remain in place. The 93 U.S. attorneys serve at the pleasure of the president and are responsible for overseeing offices of federal prosecutors and charged with prosecuting federal crimes in their jurisdictions.
