StateCollege.com Privacy Policy page In a neighborhood known for its Chinese food, there’s a new restaurant on the Upper West Side that’s making a statement. Aves recently opened is already getting noticed for its elegant atmosphere and unique menu that puts a modern twist on traditional Chinese dishes the restaurant’s thoughtful design is easy to notice and the décor gets its inspiration from the bold colors and patterns of peacock feathers The dark blue walls and metallic furnishings combine to create a “sleek” interior One of the most remarkable aspects of the restaurant is its high ceilings who has worked in the restaurant business for more than a decade to the space when he was looking for a home for his new concept Liu started out as a busser and has worked his way up to managing restaurants Some of the fine dining establishments he has been affiliated with have even earned stars from the Michelin Guide “I’ve always wanted to open up a concept like this,” he said about Aves “Upscale dining is my passion and what I really love to do.” Aves is also notable for its menu Its dishes strike a balance between classics that you would expect at a Chinese food restaurant – such as Peking duck and dim sum soup dumplings – and some unexpected surprises Liu still strives to make the menu approachable “We want to keep it simple and just have a good amount of diverse selections.” In addition to this curated list more vegan and vegetarian options are also being added The final ingredient in what makes Aves special is Liu puts great attention on the hiring and training of the restaurant’s staff he knows that the front of the house can make all the difference in the dining experience “These are the people who are the actual face of the restaurant,” he said “The level of service that people should expect in the upscale restaurant is extremely high I try to meet that and try to exceed that as well.” Now that Aves is past its soft opening phase word about the restaurant is getting out fast (Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg was among the early guests.) Located in the heart of the Upper West Side at 102 West 86th Street (between Columbus and Amsterdam) it is at one of the neighborhood’s main intersections – steps away from the 1 Aves is becoming a local favorite for regulars in the area And with more inventive dishes and seasonal changes to the menu on the way To book a reservation at Aves, click HERE Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value" This site uses Akismet to reduce spam.

(Fig. 1) Holotype of Neobohaiornis lamadongensis gen.et sp The generic name refers to the derived morphology (e.g. increased number of sacral vertebrae) of this taxon relative to other bohaiornithids The specific name refers to the town of Lamadong MHGU-0288 (housed at the Museum of Hebei GEO University), a nearly complete and articulated skeleton preserved in dorsal aspect with traces of feathers surrounding the skeleton (Fig. 1; Table 1) Referrable to Enantiornithes based on the presence of the following diagnostic features: a furcula with a ventral margin wider than dorsal margin; a proportionately elongate hypocleidium of the furcula; minor metacarpal projecting distally farther than major metacarpal; metatarsal IV mediolaterally thinner than both metatarsals II and III with the trochlea reduced to a single condyle; and a J-shaped metatarsal I Neobohaiornis lamadongensis is an icterid-sized (~ 55 g) enantiornithine with the following unique combination of features: ceratobranchial bones rostrally expanded; furcular rami straight medially-curved intermediate lateral trabeculae of the sternum; alular digit ending well before the distal margin of the major metacarpal; penultimate phalanx of the major digit proportionately shorter and robust; alular and major digit unguals reduced; forked cranial processes on the pygostyle strongly developed Skull of Neobohaiornis lamadongensis gen.et sp The dorsal process of the maxilla is concave dorsoventrally in lateral view which participates in the ventral and caudal margin of the external naris This process is slender and is caudodorsally oriented At least four teeth are preserved in the left maxilla The right and left nasals are exposed in dorsal view The premaxillary process of the nasal is long and slender and gradually increases in mediolateral width towards the internasal suture with a ridge present on the dorsal surface The lateral margin of this bone is concave and forms the caudal margin of the external naris The ascending process of the maxilla is rostrocaudally 55% wider than the nasal process of the premaxilla The orbital process is unclear due to overlap by other bones The mandibular process appears bicondylar and has a concave margin The oval-shaped parietals are unfused to each other The axial skeleton of the holotype of Neobohaiornis lamadongensis gen.et sp (A) cervical vertebrae; (B) caudal vertebrae Pectoral girdle of the holotype of Neobohaiornis lamadongensis gen.et sp The blue arrows indicate intermediate trabeculae The distal portion of the right furcular rami exhibits globe-shaped epicleidial expansion also observed in other bohaiornithids (i.e. The furcular rami are dorsolaterally excavated so that their cross-section is L-shaped and the ventral margin is much wider than the narrow dorsal margin Forelimb of the holotype of Neobohaiornis lamadongensis gen.et sp this is more developed in Neobohaiornis than most other enantiornithines Phalanx I of the minor digit is subequal in craniocaudal depth to the minor metacarpal except where it tapers just before its articulation with the second minor digit phalanx Both ilia are preserved, but the preacetabular wings are lost (Fig. 3B) The postacetabular wing is narrow and bluntly tapers caudally The dorsal margin of the postacetabular is convex The right and left pubes viewed in dorsal and lateral aspects respectively are concave dorsally and medially (convex ventrally and laterally) The pubes formed an unfused contact along the distal quarter of their lengths but the right element indicates the presence of a dorsal process that contacted the ilium Hindlimb of the holotype of Neobohaiornis lamadongensis gen.et sp. nov.

unstable taxa from the same phylogenetic analysis The discovery of Neobohaiornis therefore considerably increases the body size range and diversity of bohaiornithids This hints at greater ecological diversity although there currently exists no direct evidence concerning diet or ecological niche in this clade This suggests that these major lineages differentiated themselves with distinct tail plumages Additional differences most likely also existed although these are impossible to determine in the fossil record The new specimen represents a new taxon that contributes to the considerable recognized diversity of bohaiornithid enantiornithines in the Jiufotang Formation This specimen highlights the skeletal adaptations such as the reduction of the alular and major digit and possible increase in sacral vertebrae as they evolved more refined flight capabilities in parallel to other enantiornithine lineages The new specimen preserves the best-known plumage of any bohaiornithid which demonstrates that rachis-dominated tail feathers were likely widespread in this clade The new specimen (MHGU-0288) was discovered in the Lower Cretaecous Jiufotang Formation near Lamadong town outside Jianchang City in western Liaoning Province and collected by The Museum of Hebei GEO University (MHGU) where the specimen is permanently reposited The analysis was run implementing a traditional

Birds Canada brings to the initiative decades of knowledge in migration ecology, Community Science monitoring, and collaboration with Indigenous Peoples, along with projects in the Americas, such as the Motus Wildlife Tracking System the organization will work with national and local sort of partners to support locally led and gender-equitable change and Afro-descendant Peoples to achieve inclusive nature conservation “American Bird Conservancy looks forward to working with Birds Canada to advance conservation for migratory and resident birds while also empowering and improving the livelihoods of Indigenous peoples and local communities Their involvement will further strengthen Conserva Aves’ work with ABC’s partners throughout Latin American BirdScapes places where smart land use leads to successful bird conservation we will promote and invest in best management practices that benefit birds Birds Canada joins Conserva Aves at a relevant moment when the initiative is expanding its wings from the Tropical Andes initial phase to Mexico These regions are home to some of the highest biodiversity anywhere on Earth and provide winter homes for many migratory birds Conserva Aves has seen exciting success to date with four of them already totaling 1,158,600 hectares (2,862,963 acres) in protected areas in the process of being formally declared The initiative is also advancing preliminary conversations with partner organizations in Guatemala and Caribbean countries to reach the goal of two million hectares of subnational protected areas in Latin America and the Caribbean by 2028 “We celebrate this partnership with Birds Canada to fly together and to protect new territories of life Their arrival reinforces Conserva Aves’ commitment to working with local communities and ethnic groups encouraging participation and respecting their worldview to strengthen empowerment and inclusion in the region We know that the global ambition of a 30×30 conservation target is a tough road national and local partners working with passion and support from all of us.” as we have already seen in these two years of implementing Conserva Aves Conservation is connection: connecting knowledge and local and national authorities while being respectful of partner skills and experiences in the places where we work.    We know that effective conservation is only possible with a hemispheric connection from the Boreal forests of the north to the Patagonia region in the south Only through international partnerships can we achieve full annual life cycle conservation of our shared birds and hemispheric biodiversity.   “A hemispheric approach to bird conservation is one of the key drivers in Audubon’s ongoing work to bend the bird curve and Conserva Aves is a powerful example of that the initiative has seen significant results made possible by working with communities and international allies to pool resources around a common goal What began as a daring idea and ambitious model is now an innovative and growing alliance where new partners like Birds Canada can find the energy and resources to bend the bird curve in favor of biodiversity and the endemic and migratory birds that these territories share We celebrate the arrival of this new member to Conserva Aves.”  Header Image: Conserva Aves Steering Comittee with the Honourable Ahmed Hussen Canada Minister of International Development © Birds Canada and local communities as stewards of protected areas through citizen science improved access to information such as KBAs Birds Canada has been advocating for the inclusion of critical bird sites in land use planning processes and as candidates for increased protection This resonates with the nature and identity of our Conserva Aves initiative and sustainability of community-led subnational protected areas grounded in traditional knowledge and safeguards Integrating Birds Canada’s expertise into Conserva Aves will bolster the efficacy of our overall approach particularly in terms of facilitating access to information and decision-making tools.”  get ready to fill your carts and your hearts ALDI is opening its doors right here in the Bluff City The new store at 785 Union Ave officially opens on Wednesday or a Memphis transplant trying to find your grocery go-to and a ton of opening day perks you don’t want to miss April 10🎀 Ribbon Cutting: 8:30 AM (Doors open right after!)🛍 First 100 Customers: Golden Ticket Giveaway (could be worth up to $100!)
