Orikum Marina


Orikum Marina is an international resort with luxurious residences, world-class yachting facilities, glorious beaches and crystalline waters. Enveloped by the Mediterranean Sea, Orikum Marina is a destination for international yachting, connecting Albania with Greece, Montenegro, and Italy. The architectural concept of Orikum Marina is inspired by a coral ecosystem: all the buildings are connected in a solid living marine structure, the balcony grid resembles a coral reef, and at the same time the facades differ from each other in exterior details. The book design and art direction for the Orikum Marina project continue the idea of the architectural concept like a coral reef. Minimal cone-shaped graphics of the book cover symbolizes the corals-like structure and linear texture of the buildings. The selection of sand color paper refers to the limestone finishing material of the facades.

In opening statements, state argued Meta’s own research showed it harmed teens while firm’s attorneys pointed to transparency

Attorneys for Tennessee told a jury in Nashville that Meta, which owns Instagram and Facebook, disregarded internal research about its platform’s impact on teenagers, while the company sought ⁠to maximize profit from those young users.

During ⁠opening statements in a seven-week ​trial in state court, the state’s lawyers said Meta researchers repeatedly flagged teenagers’ compulsive use of the platform – leading to eating disorders, depression and self-harm. But despite those warnings, Meta did not ⁠disable features such as autoplay, notifications and infinite scroll which, the lawyers said, were designed to keep teens on Instagram as long as possible and increase the number of ads they viewed.

Asia ‘scraping the bottom of the barrel’ as Red Sea oil blockade worsens energy crisis

The Houthi threat to Saudi oil exports comes as Japan, South Korea and the Philippines are still reeling from the closure of the strait of Hormuz

Governments in Asia are scrambling to avoid their second major energy crisis in six months, as another maritime chokepoint in the Middle East faces a violent blockade, leaving only the Suez canal completely open for the free movement of gulf oil.

Countries like Japan, the Philippines, Thailand and South Korea – which rely on Middle East oil for up to 90% of their imports – are working to secure supplies after Yemen’s Houthis launched a blockade of Saudi Arabian shipping passing through the Bab al-Mandab strait, which forms the southern entrance to the Red Sea.
