There have been five shark attacks on Maui this year, and the state of Hawaii has commissioned a research team to figure out why.

The team just completed the first phase of a multi-part shark tagging initiative. Fourteen tiger sharks and one sandbar shark were tagged this week in an effort to track shark behavior and whereabouts around Maui.

Maui’s attacks account for half of the total shark attacks in Hawaii this year. This week, a 45-year-old man was swimming 50 yards offshore when an aggressive reef shark grabbed him.

My character’s had so much attention and it is quite refreshing to allow everybody to have their moment and have some really good scenes and I think they’re doing such a great job with it.”

Panjabi has also been using her downtime for good. The Emmy-winning actress has been speaking as the Rotary Polio Eradication Ambassador, using her fame for good.

In grade school we were all taught to get as low to the ground as possible during a fire, to avoid excessive smoke inhalation. But a fire can also quickly create a dangerous mix of toxic gases hindering a safe escape. A fire fighter’s mask and oxygen tank provides a constant supply of fresh air, and that’s what the 5aver promises on a smaller scale giving someone five minutes to escape a burning building.
