🚨🚨🚨🚨 SOBRE ESSE NOVO LIVRO 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

• Vai ser uma série de 4 livros, o primeiro lança dia 29 de setembro e o próximo vai ser lançado dps de 6 meses (e por aí vai)

• PERCY JACKSON NÃO VAI APARECER. Mas podemos ter menção dele ao fundo. A história se passa no outono do ladrão de raios pra mar de monstros.

• O Rick disse que começou a escrever entre o fim da s1 e começo da s2, ele queria que nós pudéssemos ver mais o acampamento. Tanto que essa quadrilogia se chama: "Acampamento meio-sangue". Eu particularmente acho isso incrível pq eu queria ver muito mais do acamp 😭

• 4 histórias escrita com 4 autores diferentes!!! "Enfim, esses quatro campistas vieram de origens muito diferentes. Então pensei que seria legal encontrar quatro autores que compartilhassem essas origens e pudessem escrever as histórias dos semideuses de uma forma que parecesse mais real e verdadeira. Cada escritor narrou sua parte da história do ponto de vista de um personagem."

• Primeiro livro: Katie Kim, uma coreano-americana filha de Ares que tem um segredo muito perigoso e que descobre uma área proibida na floresta do acampamento chamada, bem, A Zona Selvagem. Coescrito pela Annabelle.

Segundo livro: A história de Harper Rush, filho de Afrodite. Harper chega ao acampamento e descobre que, pela primeira vez na vida, não pode contar com o charme da fala para sair de encrencas. E então ele e os outros três semideuses se metem em sérios problemas. E, além de tudo isso, sua mãe chega, a quem ele nunca conheceu. Coescrito pelo Kyle, boa parte do trabalho dele se concentra em ampliar a representação de pessoas transgênero na literatura infantil.

Terceiro livro: Ela escreve do ponto de vista de Zuri Chapman, filha de Apolo, que chega ao acampamento com uma enorme mágoa e um desejo de vingança contra um monstro em particular que arruinou sua vida. Coescrito pela Jade, ela também é professora.

Quarto livro: Seu livro retoma a história do ponto de vista de Benny Garcia, um semideus não reclamado que é designado para o chalé de Hermes quando chega ao acampamento. Coescrito pelo Pablo, um autor cubano-americano.

That pinecone in your bathroom is completely dead. Not a single cell in the whole thing is alive. And yet, the moment your shower fills the room with steam, it closes up on its own. Dead wood, reacting to moisture, all by itself.

Each of those little wooden scales has two layers inside. The bottom layer soaks up water and swells by about 20%. The top layer barely moves. So when one side gets bigger and the other stays put, the whole scale bends upward and curls shut, same way a piece of paper curls when one side gets wet. Air dries out, bottom layer shrinks, scale drops open again. Pine trees have been running this exact design for about 390 million years, more than 150 million years before the first dinosaurs showed up.

It does all of this for one reason: seeds. If seeds fell during rain, they'd just land right next to the parent tree and fight for the same sunlight. So the cone seals shut and waits. When conditions turn dry and windy, scales open and lightweight seeds catch the breeze and travel way farther from home. Look closely and the scales sit in spirals, 8 going one way and 13 the other. Same pattern you see in sunflower heads.

I had to read this next part twice. In the 1960s, German coal miners pulled a few pinecones out of a coal deposit. Nobody thought much of it at the time. Decades later, a research team at the University of Freiburg got hold of them and figured out one was about 120,000 years old. Another was roughly 15 million years old. They soaked them in water. Both still closed up. Moved about half as much as a fresh pinecone, but after 15 million years underground with zero maintenance, the mechanism still worked. The coal had kept the wood flexible instead of turning it to stone.

Engineers looked at this and started copying it. A team at the Universities of Stuttgart and Freiburg made 424 tiny panels out of wood fiber, designed to change shape on their own when humidity shifts, copying the pinecone's two-layer trick. They stuck them on a building's south-facing window. In winter, the panels curled open on their own to let sunlight warm the inside. Come summer, they flattened and blocked it. The whole system runs without electricity, motors, or wiring, just wood fiber reacting to weather the same way it has for 390 million years. They published the results in Nature Communications after a full year of testing. Every panel still worked.

Your bathroom pinecone is a humidity sensor that predates dinosaurs by 150 million years, runs on dead wood and physics, and engineers are still trying to copy its homework.

D is the right answer: Not only does it include Butter chicken, Pad Thai, Dim Sum, Pho, Ramen noodles, and Korean BBQ, it also includes Kebab, Baclava, Shawarma and Falafel… AND… if you zoom in, a little bit of Sicilian pasta, pizza, Greek salad and Moussaka. Seal the deal with a nice New Zealand rack of lamb, a glass of Shiraz and Pavlova for dessert.

Emma Watson hired a private investigator in 2016. Not to expose someone. Not for security. To find a homeless woman who once gave her a copy of “Mom & Me & Mom” by Maya Angelou一 just to thank her in person, with no cameras no press, no PR team. She hid books across London subway stations with handwritten notes for strangers to find. Paused red carpet interviews mid-sentence to talk about education and inequality. At 25, she stood before the UN and launched HeForShe - a global campaign for gender equality. “If not me, who? If not now, when?” A Brown University graduate who reads 100+ books a year. Worth $80M+- and still rides public transport. Still shows up quietly. Still does good when no one's watching. Fame didn't change her. She changed what fame looks like.
