Time-lapse video of Dragon Bravo Fire shows Grand Canyon's North Rim in flames
A time-lapse video captured the wildfire burning on the Grand Canyon's North Rim, which destroyed the historic Grand Canyon Lodge and forced the shutdown of the Canyon's north side. Fire crews tried to contain the Dragon Bravo Fire, which sparked July 4 after a lightning strike. National Park Service officials initially managed the fire as a controlled burn, but hot and windy weather conditions fueled the fire and caused it to spread rapidly. Republic photographer Michael Chow captured the wildfire in a time-lapse video taken July 14 from the Canyon's South Rim. Chow set up his camera on a tripod, pointed it at the smoke, hoping it cleared at some point and and shot a photo every four seconds for 4 1/2 hours. Chow asked multiple people where exactly the fire was burning so he could point his camera in the right direction, because once he started the time-lapse, he couldn't change the orientation. Chow finished with just under 4,000 photos that were sequenced together for the time-lapse video. By July 14, the fire had scorched 5,716 acres and was still 0% contained, according to InciWeb, a federal wildfire tracking website. An estimated 70 structures were gone, park officials said. No injuries were reported. Gov. Katie Hobbs and Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., have since called for an investigation into the agency's early response to the wildfire. A National Park Service official said the fire was "expertly handled." Republic reporters Perry Vandell and Rey Covarrubias contributed to this article.

Popular Asian Restaurant Closing Its Las Vegas Strip Location
Famous international Chinese restaurant chain Mr. Chow has shut down its Las Vegas location. Founded in the 1960s by British-Chinese restauranteur and artist Michael Chow, Mr. Chow has locations in London, Beverly Hills, New York City, Miami and Riyadh. 'Mr. Chow features elegant white, modern decor with one-of-a-kind design elements including a kinetic 'moon' sculpture that hangs over the main dining room," said the chain's official website. "Touches like the sculpture add a bit of a show element to your meal and that's exactly what Mr. Chow likes to do. Not only is it a culinary experience, you'll also be entertained during your evening. The sculpture is suspended from a domed ceiling in the center of the room and it comes to life every 20 minutes slowly morphing into different shapes.' The Las Vegas iteration was the seventh Mr. Chow outpost to open. Located inside Caesars Palace, the establishment opened its doors in 2016 and quickly became a celebrity hotspot. However, after nearly a decade in business, the Las Vegas Mr. Chow shut down following its final day of service on May 17. "Business levels are the culprit, as well as the terrible location with low visibility in the sprawling resort. There are no current plans for what will replace Mr. Chow on the second floor of Caesars Palace in the Forum Tower," reported Vital Vegas. In its nine years in business, Mr. Chow served high-end Beijing-style cuisine to Caesars Palace patrons under the famous "Moon" sculpture, designed by Chow himself. Popular menu items included Beijing duck, Mr. Chow noodles, salt and pepper prawns, Dungeness crab and other traditional dishes.

A walk down memory lane with Nesia Daily's Michael Chow
You hear him every morning on Radio Australia, and every week as the opening voice of On The Record - but how much do you know about Michael Chow's music career? In 2012, Michael formed Froyo, a band with his university friend, Allyson Montenegro; a group which would soon grow into a popular mainstay of the Sydney indie scene. While it started as a bit of a musical accident, Froyo's music was the real deal: pop music that had a diverse range of influences at its core, Michael and his bandmates navigated their way through songs that had a tinge of '80s teen drama threaded throughout. Loading Froyo's music has been heard on Netflix and HBO shows, while the impact of the band has been felt through a strong community of fans who have committed to the music via tattoos, various shows around Australia and more. Though Michael is very much at home in his Nesia Daily presenter's seat, he joins On The Record for a special walk down memory lane.
