Avian facial plumage, bill coloration, and feather microstructure may serve one or more adaptive functions. Several researchers have proposed that dark eyestripes, bills, and facial masks aid in reducing glare, however, there have been relatively few tests of this hypothesis. Dark facial markings have been shown to have an adaptive glare-reduction function in recent field studies of a few species, but this hypothesis has never been tested in a broad multispecies analysis. It is likely that feather microstructure influences feather brightness and has an effect on the efficacy of glare reduction properties of feathers. I examined the link between dark facial markings and glare reduction under natural lighting conditions in several bird species, using a spectrometer probe placed in the eye-position of museum specimens. As a measure of glare, I quantified the reduction in irradiance in full, natural sunlight, for specimens varying in bill and head plumage coloration and pattern. Each specimen was tested with the head held at various angles to mimic natural foraging positions. I also quantified the brightness of bills and plumage surrounding the eye of these same specimens using reflectance spectroscopy. Correlations between irradiance measurements and the bill and plumage brightness were analyzed. Facial feather microstructure, proximal and distal barbule density, and pith:cortex ratio were examined using scanning electron microscopy. I then correlated these characteristics to plumage brightness of both light and dark patches. A significant relationship with average head darkness and reduction in irradiance values was found when the eye faced directly into the sun, and when it was rotated horizontally 45 away from the sun. Dark patches in the anterior and posterior dorsal quadrants are most important in this reduction in irradiance. Of feather microstructural features, the pith:cortex ratio affected plumage brightness of the entire head, with a larger pith:cortex ratio being associated with darker plumage. Proximal and distal barbule density also play a role in feather brightness. Increased proximal barbule density was correlated with darker plumage, while in an opposing trend increased distal barbule density was correlated with lighter plumage. Future research could expand on the link between these and related features to plumage coloration, with an emphasis on glare reduction or their functions in the feathers of diurnal species.

The response by all the guests was overwhelmingly positive. All parties involved with the coordination of this event have every desire to make this an annual occurrence. It was really as life changing as promised.

It looks like what Missy is wearing under that coat is a white button-down, and I know that if you are inclined to have a white button-down, you probably already have one, so I am not going to round any up for you here (besides, I already did!). Now, I said it looks like what Missy is wearing under there could be just your average button-down, but I would not be surprised if it was something like this:

"In This Darkness" by Clara La San is a song expressing loneliness and sadness. Through the chorus, the singer expresses her feelings of being surrounded by darkness and lack of connection and intimacy with those close to her. The song speaks to the feeling of being trapped in a situation where you feel helpless and alone. The pre-chorus reflects the longing for a connection and for the relationship to be restored, and the refrain repeats the plea for light to be restored in her life. Ultimately, the singer conveys the difficulty of being isolated and isolated in darkness, and how it affects one's emotions and outlook on life.

Throughout the song, Clara La San explores the intricacies of human relationships, addressing the pain that comes with heartbreak and the struggle to find solace amidst the darkness. The lyrics delve into the internal battles fought within oneself, highlighting the emotional turmoil experienced when trying to navigate the complexities of love and loss.

Clara La San drew inspiration from her personal experiences with heartbreak and the journey towards self-discovery. The song serves as a reflection of the struggles she faced in overcoming the darkness that engulfed her life during that time, ultimately turning it into a source of strength and healing.

Here's an unofficial-official daughter of Calli and Kiara from Hololive! ^^

In my very own design - when Phoenix met Death, Dark Phoenix was born! 

Clara is shown here in a teenage R.E.B.E.L phase, with full exhibition of her powers and edgy black dye on her hair to cover the natural color she inherited from her moms.

She also likes to steal Calli's old cloak of darkness and summon the flaming chicken which oddly resembles Kiara when she burns her noodles. 006ab0faaa
