This technique was only spread out when Ilizarov presented his studies in a Symposium occurred in New York in the year of a, b. In clinical alveolar distraction studies, some authors attempted to approach this frequency by applying more than 1 distraction procedure per day, distributing the daily amount of distraction between 2 sessions of 0.

« Air pollution levels in the world’s fast-growing urban centers are rising – as are consumer concerns about the damaging and aging effects pollution can have on the skin.
Consumers are increasingly concerned about the damaging and aging effects particulate air pollution can have on their skin. They want – and need – effective skin-protection solutions. Dow Corning develops an innovative approach that mirrors the natural pollution-protection properties of the lotus leaf.
Introducing a Nature-inspired Approach to Skin Protection
The leaves of the lotus plant (Nelumbo nucifera) naturally remain clean and free from particulate matter.
This is due to specific surface properties (low surface energy plus a microroughened structure) that combine to prevent both water and solid particles from attaching strongly to the leaf.
With their unique ability to mirror these properties, silicone film-formers from Dow Corning can help create multifunctional cosmetic, skin care and sun care formulations that:
• Provide a barrier effect against particulate air pollution
• Help reduce the detrimental impact of pollutants on skin
• Are smooth, comfortable and flexible to wear
For real Beauty with impact, silicone innovations from Dow Corning offer new levels of performance – tested and validated.
Dow Corning has investigated the potential of a variety of Dow Corning® silicone film-formers in three different formulation types – water-in-oil, hydrogel and oil-in-water.
Reduced particulate-adhesion properties can be achieved in major cosmetic formulation systems when the appropriate silicone film-forming technology is used.
New formulations include:
• Oil-in-water cream for pollution protection
• Water-in-oil skin cream for pollution protection
• Hydrogel for pollution protection
Formulating for Citycare
Building effective Citycare anti-pollution skin care formulations relies on the interaction between a specific silicone technology and the non-volatile fraction of the formulation.
With the right silicone technology for your system type, it is possible to create a protective film with a level of microroughness that reduces the tendency of particulate matter to adhere to it. »

Hi, my name is Julio, welcome to Falcon Visuals. As a photographer, I aspire to capture the love, hope and happiness that bonds every couple, regardless of their appearance or sexual orientation.
My wedding and commitment ceremony photography aims to reflect the best traits of Adelaide's society: diversity, respect and inclusiveness.
If you have a thousand tattoos (or none), if you are madly in love with someone of the same sex (or the opposite), and believe that love reigns above race or gender, please drop me a line. I would love to be part of your special day.
"Focusing on Equality and Diversity" is my contribution to make visible those who are absent in SA's wedding imagery.
LGBTQ+, tattooed, Non-Model sized fellow humans: I would like to photograph your weddings and commitment ceremonies and proudly show your love to the world.
I want to do it, because I want my portfolio to reflect Adelaide's heterogeneity. Some will get offended or scared by this approach (I have business proposals been turned down because of the groups I want to showcase), but I do not mind.
I know that love is not a "one size fits all" expression and believe that photography has the power to enlighten and transform our society. Lets show the world that not every committed couple looks the same.

There had been a major robbery from a local Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C supplier not so long ago, however it was said that it was a ton of window cooling system units that were taken.
- It made sense to me because they were extravagant window cooling system units plus they were small enough to pack up into a getaway van.
I just wondered how the crooks were able to bypass the security system of the Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C dealer, then they seemed to have a relatively high tech security system with camera surveillance plus everything. It was a mystery for awhile until recently when I had an Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C worker over to labor on my cooling system, he said he was going to need to option up some additional parts plus he gave to sell me some window cooling system units, the same types that were stolen from the Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C dealer. I ended up buying the window cooling system units from the guy for a surprisingly cheap price, plus they worked well to keep my cabin cool until he was able to repair my cooling system system with the parts that he ordered. Later on I had the owner of the Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C supplier come out plus I told him how the Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C worker sold me those window cooling system units. It was as I suspected, the professional was not supposed to be selling me window cooling system units plus there wasn’t even a record of the sale. It was discovered that this Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C professional helped some friends chop into the Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C supplier to steal the fancy Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C equipment. They all ended up getting caught plus put in jail.

Wow I can't believe a week has passed since I posted the last recipe! In my defense, I recently moved from France to Netherlands to start a vegan food related project (more about that soon), so that's quite a big change!
Now that I'm all settled in I should be able to post more regularly, and maybe veganize some dutch recipes in the future! I'm still waiting for my photography backgrounds to arrive though, so in the meantime let's use window ledges...
This recipe is an easy one, no food processor or blender required, but it requires some preparation.
Now let's talk about food, these bowls have sautéed king oyster mushrooms, spicy peanut tofu, steamed baby bok choy and soba noodles flavored with a drizzle of sesame oil and chives.
I was pleasantly surprised by the texture of king oysters, it really minds me the texture of scallops, with a "meaty" texture. Be aware they take a long time to cook though, something like 8-10 minutes in a skillet. You can usually find king oyster mushrooms at asian or oriental supermarkets.
King oyster are first marinated in water flavored with seaweed flakes, soy sauce and lemon juice to give them a light "sea" flavor. After about 15 minutes they are sautéed in a skillet until soft and browned on each side. I recommend keeping the marinade and drizzle it on the mushrooms after cooking to add even more taste.
Tofu is also marinated in a mix of soy sauce, sesame oil, maple syrup and peanut butter. Plus sriracha to add some heat.
For the greens and grains I went with baby bok choy and buckwheat noodles, feel free to use what you have on hand, like spinach or kale, and quinoa or brown rice, it's up to you. These bowls are super flavorful and if you have never tried king oyster I can only suggest you do, you won't be disappointed!
Let me know in the comments if you try this recipe and tag #fullofplants if you take a photo!
King Oyster Scallop Bowls
King Oyster Scallops
- 1 cup water
- 2 teaspoon seaweed flakes
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 3 king oyster mushrooms brown tops removed
Spicy Peanut Tofu
- 7 ounces extra firm tofu
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil or other oil
- ½ teaspoon sriracha
- 5 ounces soba noodles can be replaced with brown rice, quinoa, etc
- 2 bunches of baby bok choy or spinach, or kale
- 1 clove of garlic finely chopped
- salt pepper to taste
- chive chopped (optional)
- The easiest way to have everything ready and still warm when serving is to let the the king oyster mushrooms and tofu marinade while you prepare the greens and grains. Then cook the mushrooms and tofu just before serving.
King Oyster Scallops
- Combine the water, seaweed flakes and soy sauce in a small saucepan.
- Heat over medium heat and bring to a boil. As soon as it boils, remove from heat and let cool 10-15 minutes before stirring in the lemon juice. Discard the seaweed and set aside.
- Rinse the king oyster mushrooms and dry them well with a paper towel. Slice each into 3-4 large pieces, and add them to the saucepan. Let the mushrooms marinate for 20-30 minutes. In the meantime, prepare the tofu marinade.
- Drain the king oyster but keep the marinade, we will use it later to drizzle the cooked mushrooms for added flavor.
- Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the king oyster mushrooms and cook each side for 4-5 minutes, until soft and golden brown. Remove from heat and cover to keep warm.
- In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter, soy sauce, maple syrup, sesame oil and sriracha.
- Drain the tofu well. Line a plate with paper towel, place the tofu on top, add another layer of paper towel and place something heavy on top, like an iron skillet for example. Press the tofu for 10-15 minutes. Cut it into cubes and add it to the marinade, stir to coat and let marinade for at least 20-30 minutes.
- Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the tofu with the marinade and shallow-fry for 3-4 minutes, stirring regularly to make sure the tofu doesn't burn or stick to the skillet.
- Remove from heat and cover to keep warm.
Greens and Noodles
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and drizzle with sesame oil, stir to coat.
- For the greens, you can either steam them for 5-7 minutes, or sauté with some oil in a large skillet. Once you greens are cooked, stir in the chopped garlic and season with salt and pepper.
- Divide the noodles into 3 bowls, add the baby bok choy or spinach and top with tofu and king oyster scallops. Top with chopped chives and serve immediately.
Terrific recipe. My wife and I have been vegan for about 5 years, but pan seared scallops were one of our favorite dishes, in fact scallops were the last actual meat dish my wife ever had. This dish is absolutely marvelous, I cooked it for our anniversary dinner last night. We liked it so much, I cooked it again tonight, but I tried a modification, which I humbly suggest may make it even better.
I took the left over marinade and put it in a small saucepan and let it simmer to reduce while the mushrooms were searing in the pan. As the juice dried out around the mushrooms, I would add a little of the reducing marinade to the pan and repeated until all the marinade was used up. Close to the end of cooking, I added a little crushed garlic and right at the end, a knob of Miyoko's vegan butter: fabulous.
I'm so glad to hear you liked this recipe David 🙂 Thanks for the kind words!
Your suggestion is very good and I'm definitely going to try that next time I make this dish.
I'm not vegan, but these recipes are delicious, period. Scallops are too expensive, and this 'mock scallop' recipe is an excellent replacement. Using seaweed-based marinade really improves mushrooms, and not just for this recipe.
Wow, Thomas! I just made this recipe again (added some fresh grated ginger to the tofu mix.) My husband and I agree that this is one of our most favorite recipes!
Thank you for sharing your genius with the world!
Fresh ginger sounds awesome! Its fresh and citrusy flavor is probably going very well with the scallops!
This was a great deal of fun! We had our Christmas eve dinner with your faux foie gras and these scallops. Not having seaweed flakes, I mush admit that I resorted to using two sheets of nori instead (and I realize now that I forgot to add the lemon juice after brining the marinade to boiling). But will definitely make this again! Perhaps the full meal/bowl!
Have a lovely Christmas!
That sounds like a Christmas feast!
Yes, nori sheets should work just like seaweed. Glad to hear you liked both recipes 🙂
The king oyster scallops worked really well but the tofu is the star 🙂 excellent marinade
Thanks for the feedback Steve!
I couldn't find King Oyster Mushrooms, but I was able to find King Trumpet Mushrooms. They look pretty similar, except the ones I have look a little bit smaller than the ones you have pictured here.
I'm going to make them tomorrow evening, so I'll let you know how it goes.
If you have any pointers about the difference though, I'd gladly accept them!
Thanks for the awesome recipe!
Honestly, I have no idea about the difference, except the size! I would assume they taste pretty similar but I have never them.
Wow!!! I am in love with this dish. Can't wait to make it again. Thanks for sharing!
Glad to hear you liked it Tammy! Thanks for the rating!
Great recipe. No need to waist paper towel and pat dry mushrooms. You are going to put it in marinade. Worried about diluting marinade with those extra 5 drops of water? Take tbsp out of a cup! Also don't discard tops of the mushrooms! Cook them too!
Thanks for the input Anna! 🙂
Delicious! Very satisfying meal! I love the use of the mushrooms to replace scallops! 🙂
Oh, and the spicy peanut sauce is AH-mazing!
Thanks for the feedback Traci! 🙂
I have tried other recipes for King mushrooms that were so much better. It is difficult to make these taste badly, but this recipe doesn't do much for the taste at all. Three stars for the great mushrooms, no stars for the ingredients.
Sorry to hear you didn't like this recipe Tracy!
Delicious. Thank you for sharing with us!
Judith M Donovan
Making these mushrooms tonight. Thanks for all the good info. This was a lovely post to read...I'll be back soon to spend time here.
Thanks Judith, glad to hear you liked it!
Thank you so much for sharing this awesome menu, we really enjoyed it!!
You're welcome Brigitte, thanks for your feedback!
Hi, what kind of seaweed flakes do you recommend? I have kelp flakes and laver which I could make into flakes. Thank you for sharing this delightful-looking recipe. I will make it.
Here I went with dulse seaweed flakes, but nori or kelp should work well!
Thanks! I made this with the kelp flakes and it was wonderful. Next time I'll try dulse! Loved this whole bowl. Added grated ginger to the peanut sauce as suggested by another commenter. Five stars! Thanks!
This was a great recipe! I didn't know what to do with my king oyster mushrooms and happened upon your website.
Thanks so much for providing a wonderful meal for the family. I used Pad Thai noodles rather than Soba because that's what was available. Just, just awesome...
You're welcome Robert!
Thanks for your feedback!
My king oysters are really large (only 2, but sliced into 16 pieces apprx 2-3cm). Perhaps an idea of weight might help the recipe. I’m making it right now, but think I’ll have to alter the recipe a little. Can’t wait to see how it turns out!
You can double the marinade if using very large king oysters.
Wow!! What a feast - glorious & elegant recipe, Thomas. Lots of steps & pans but a joy to make with my mom during quarantine. Added more time to marinade both tofu & mushrooms plus air fried the tofu to watch one less pan. Braised bok choy in a miso base too. Restaurant quality dinner, even carnivore dad loved it! Can’t wait to make these “scallops” again & see them in more recipes. Hint hint!
Thanks for sharing 🙂 Haha glad your dad liked it too 🙂
This is on my list to try, but can’t eat soy
Any replacement suggestions?
Well, you could use seitan as a substitute for the tofu, and coconut aminos to replace the soy sauce.

BlackBerry’s new phone, the Z10, launched in one of the most important and influential markets Friday: the US.
But despite a glitzy launch event in New York Thursday night, early reports suggest demand for the new phone is pretty weak in the US. The Z10 is only available on AT&T for now, but Verizon and T-Mobile will begin selling the phone next week. Best Buy also sells the Z10.
WSJ reports several AT&T retail locations in Manhattan and San Francisco were empty on Friday and some stores didn’t even have the Z10 on display yet.
BlackBerry’s stock took a dive Friday too. It was down nearly 8% when the market closed.
Hudson Square Research analyst Daniel Ernst told Reuters, “This morning we visited and called stores to survey early demand for the BlackBerry Z10. We found no lines, no signage announcing the launch, and clerks told us they had very few pre-orders.”
The BlackBerry Z10 is the first phone to run the company’s new mobile operating system, BlackBerry 10. BB10 has been delayed several times during the last year, and it didn’t officially debut until late January.
Early reviews of the Z10 were pretty good, but many criticised BlackBerry for waiting so long to release a device as good as the iPhone and top-tier Android devices.

A new study has found that the proportion of American adults suffering from “extreme distress” – that is, those who reported having serious emotional problems and mental distress in all 30 of the past 30 days – has almost doubled since 1993.
In that year, the percentage reporting extreme mental distress was 3.6%.
By 2019, the percentage had grown to 6.4%.
The study, published by David G. Blanchflower of Dartmouth College and Andrew J. Oswald of the University of Warwick, appeared in the American Journal of Public Health.
Mapping out extreme distress
To conduct their study, the two researchers used data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS).
Launched in 1984, the BRFSS is a monthly survey of hundreds of thousands of Americans in all 50 states.
It uses a standardized questionnaire, and takes place by telephone.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention administers the survey.
The data that the survey collects includes the respondents’ health-related risk behaviors, health conditions, and use of various services.
The current annual number of respondents is about 450,000 (up from about 100,000 in 1993).
The present study is based on the data of 8.1 million respondents over the period from 1993 to 2019.
Measuring mental distress
The study’s authors Blanchflower and Oswald focused on one particular question in the survey: “Now thinking about your mental health, which includes stress, depression, and problems with emotions, for how many days during the past 30 days was your mental health not good?”
They classified respondents who gave the highest possible answer (i.esingleletterabbreviationAve. days out of 30) as being in extreme distress.
In 2019, the overall proportion of respondents who fell into that category was 6.4%.
As recently as 1993, it was only 3.5%.
Extreme emotional distress and demographics
For respondents who are white, middle-aged, and less educated, the trend is even more worrisome.
In 2019, the most recent year in the study, the proportion of white middle-aged US citizens with no college education who reported extreme distress was 11%.
By contrast, that figure was less than 5% in 1993.
Across all the years studied, women and people with lower levels of education were more likely to report extreme distress.
Economic insecurity as a driver of mental distress
The authors suggest that shifting employment conditions are the main reason for these changes.
For example, the strongest statistical predictor of extreme distress was a positive response to the statement “I am unable to work.”
Furthermore, the authors found that a 10% drop in a state’s share of manufacturing workers was associated a roughly 0.5% increase in that state’s levels of extreme mental distress.
“These findings seem to mesh with other evidence on the psychological damage created by economic insecurity,” the authors write.
The researchers say that this is the first study to use this unique data point (i.e. the proportion of people who reported having poor mental health for each of the past 30 days on the BRFSS survey) to measure the nation’s overall level of mental and emotional distress.
As they put it, this metric is a proxy for the percentage of the population “who in effect say ‘every day of my life is a bad day’.”
“The upward trend in exceptional distress shows no sign of slowing,” the authors write.
“Policymakers need to recognize the crisis of an ever-growing group of US citizens in extreme distress.”

Saturday was a different sort of Saturday. I got Jessie up at 7:00am. We ate breakfast and read Bible. I worked on the floors. Jessie read history books. Jessie practiced violin. We blew off a bicycle. We went to Menards. We did a lot of housekeeping chores. We put a light up in the pantry. We put the new light up in the laundry area. The laundry and workshop area need wired to a switch. We went to Lowe’s and got a longer part for the kitchen light. We re-installed the light, shortening the chain in the process. We switched the toggle switches in the dining room and kitchen. The original kitchen switch was a dimmer. So, the new light fixture in the dining room is now on a dimmer. We took the stroller and Crazy Coupe to storage. We went to Toys R Us to measure Jessie for a bicycle. Right now, she has a tricycle. We sorted through four tubs of clothes that Jessie will grow into. But, all in all, the main theme of the day was not the house or Jessie.
On a different note, Jessie’s new Bible came. It’s her first, real Bible. She adores it. She reads along with me when we read in the morning and evening. She reads along during the sermon in church. I catch her reading her Bible during free moments of time. There have been gratifying moments in this nine-month sojourn, but none more gratifying than seeing Jessie reading her Bible. Spoiler alert: To get free postage on the Bible, I got the next book Jessie and I will be reading after Anne. I got Jessie the first volume of Elsie Dinsmore. The Elsie series is about 6,572 volumes long and will last Jessie until she’s about 969 years old. Of course I’m exaggerating, but only slightly.
Day 284 ended with Bible and prayer.
Blessings: Hearing Jessie tell other people about her new Bible. Seeing Jessie read her new Bible. Dear Lord, help me not to ruin this small child’s natural desire to know You through Your Word.


There have been several rumours and concept designs as to how the next Samsung Galaxy device will look like with many predicting and leaks confirming a punch-hole camera design. Yesterday, Samsung’s official Twitter account finally confirmed the Samsung Galaxy S10 Launch for the 20th of February 2019.
It has been well publicized the Galaxy S10 and S10+ will have a radical design and until now, there has been no official confirmation. Well, Samsung made an embarrassing mistake and revealed its design for the first time as spotted by a Reddit user. The design which has now been taken down and replaced was published in an official blog post with Samsung detailing its new One UI.
The Samsung Galaxy S10, Galaxy S10+ and a new Galaxy S10 Lite are all expected to be unveiled at the February 20 Galaxy Unpacked event. The first time Samsung will not be launching the Galaxy models at the annual Mobile World Congress, MWC, event in Barcelona.
Not much is known yet about the Galaxy S10 Lite which could also possibly be named Galaxy S10 E, however, it is expected to lose many features found in the S10 and S10+ forcing fanatics to pay more for the flagships themselves. Stay tuned on February 20 for the Samsung Galaxy S10 launch.

MoaAlm, Austria – Travel Review
Living the ‘Good Life’ in the Austrian Alps
by Lottie Joynes
Holidays of the past have often resulted in overindulgence, lethargy and laziness. But as more people than ever take up the challenge of ‘veganuary’, yoga participation is soaring and the call for responsible travel grows. Holidays have become more than a break from the daily grind, rather, a chance for you to explore and create change within yourself.
In search of a holiday that would challenge me to become healthier and happier, I came across the small ‘WearActive’ company. Run by cricket-loving Yorkshireman, Craig, and his wife Xania. The two former PE teachers have developed the ‘relaxingly active’ holiday concept in a remote retreat, high in the Austrian Alps. It is a healthy balance of fresh Alpine air, alternative mountain activities and great home-cooked, plant-based food. With a daily dose of yoga alongside space and time to relax in a stylishly designed home, complete with wood-fired hot tub, a holiday at MoaAlm promised to leave me rejuvenated and refreshed.
“Breathtaking Alpine scenery”
Situated at 1800m, MoaAlm is a superb base from which to explore the breathtaking mountains of East Tyrol, Austria. It sits right on the edge of the Hohe Tauren National park, where lynx and ibex still roam. In the summer the mountainsides are cloaked in vibrant green, studded with alpine flowers and birds soaring overhead.
MoaAlm’s in-house mountain guide offers daily hikes exploring remote waterfalls, hanging bridges and idyllic mountain huts. In the winter, the guide and guests slip on their snowshoes and undertake peaceful hikes through snow laden forest trails to discover ancient churches, and spot winter hares and foxes.
More than hiking, MoaAlm offers the opportunity to try a range of alternative activities. Cross country skiing is on the agenda for winter guests, and for an adrenaline rush you can sledge down the MoaAlm road on a traditional Rodel to the village, where live traditional music is played at the local bars and restaurants. Plus, skiers and snowboarders will not be disappointed. From MoaAlm you can ski straight out the door to the GG resort, so called for the stunning Grossglockner mountain that peaks above the valley.
“Relax and reset”
If all that sounds a little too much like hard work for a holiday, it helps to remember that a holiday at MoaAlm is highly personalised to your needs and ability. Group sizes are limited, and within a day of arriving, I had found myself a whole new set of friends, each on their own journey to a more relaxed, healthy life.
The cleverly designed interior of MoaAlm lends itself to relaxation, but the highlight was the yoga studio with panoramic views of the mountains. With a resident teacher, there is a focus on yoga practice remaining light-hearted and fun. Every level is welcome and a mixture of yoga styles are offered. I found that within a week of excellent instruction, I had come to see yoga as more than just an hour long stretching class, but a mindset that I could incorporate into all areas of my life.
“Exciting and original”
Great, healthy, home cooked food is a vital part of the `WearActive’ concept. Each evening I enjoyed hearty three course dinner accompanied by local Austrian wine. The plant based meals are made with ingredients that are organic, locally sourced and seasonal.
The chefs at MoaAlm make huge efforts to keep up to date with developments in plant based cooking, and keep their menu as sustainably sourced as possible. They have recently worked with Austrian chefs to develop vegan variations of traditional Austrian classics, so guests can experience Austrian food without sacrificing their diet. Food influence also comes from further afield, with chefs taking inspiration from Croatian, Indian and Asian cooking. This certainly made the dinner table interesting with travel tales and stories about our day in the hills mingling in the warm haze of an evening spent among friends.
“Vast mountain arena”
On my last night at MoaAlm from the wood fired hot tub, I watched the the sun slip behind the hills and the stars appearing, framed by the vast mountain arena that MoaAlm resides in. My week had seen me try exciting new activities, uncover some of the history and traditions of Alpine Austria, make a new group of friends and challenged me to return home with a new mindset, inspired and rejuvenated. MoaAlm has proven that holidays can and should be be about escaping and unwinding, but at the same time have the ability to kick start an active, healthier, relaxed you.

We have very sad news to report today as legendary actor Ian Holm has passed away at age 88, according to a statement from his agent.
The British actor had a long acting career but is fondly remembered by horror fans for his portrayal of the android, Ash, in Ridley Scott’s 1979 classic Alien. The android’s secret mission was to bring an alien lifeform back and to consider the crew “expendable”.
Later in his career his stardom reached new heights as he portrayed Bilbo Baggins in the blockbuster film The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. In 2003 he reprised his role in The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King which earned him a shared SAG award for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture. He continued with the character in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey and The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies playing the elder Baggins as Martin Freeman played the younger version in those films.
Holm also appeared in Ratatouille, The Aviator, From Hell, The Fifth Element, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, Chariots of Fire and more.
We here at Horror News Network extended our deepest condolences to Ian’s family and friends.

I already have a few years experience with figure drawing, but I never really got actual theorical knowledge on how to do it properly, so this class taught me a lot in that regard.
For my first attempt, I simply used an HB pencil since that's what I use the most when drawing.
However, I know that I tend to focus a lot on construction and that my drawings might sometimes be too rigid because of this.
So for my second attempt, I forced myself to let go of construction by completely changing my tools. So I picked up a thick charcoal pencil instead.
In the end, I'm actually quite pleased with the result. The charcoal drawings definitely look less stiff and more life-like. It's also a lot more relaxing to draw more loosely in my opinion.

I pushed off at Sellwood Riverfront park. The plan? Paddle the board toward the city. I wouldn’t make it all the way, but the journey looked good. I parked on a street nearly under Sellwood bridge and headed toward what I thought was a boat launch. It seemed that it had been one a long time ago. As I approached, I saw a vague hazard sign. It didn’t explain much and there was no fence. I couldn’t see anything scary, so I went in. After launching, I looked back over my shoulder to see a warning sign about a cable and 11,000 voltage! I paddled much faster. Note to self: don’t exit this way.
Going north toward town was a push against current and wind. The water was a little choppy, not too bad, no white caps. I dropped to my knees a few times when I came upon cross currents, water stitches, surges, and bucks. I absolutely did not want to fall in. Too cold. This was more of a workout paddle, not a cruise. I really wanted to get a good view of the city and the first bridge, so I didn’t take the side route through calmer water that diverts east, just off the yacht club.
Also on the east side, just before the yacht club, is Oaks Park. Sounds of people screaming on the roller coaster bounce out and off the water.
I was glad to not have my chihuahua mix hood ornament dog with me. She would have hated the water splashing across the front of the board.
After close to an hour of paddling, I pulled into a small gathering of snags in the middle of the river. A perfect rest area and a place to sit down and take a few pictures of the still far away city. I noticed a small board held between roots and branches. I plucked it out- my next sign! It was imperfect in perfect ways- part lumber, part river wood. It had aged and ripened in the river.
The only other boaters out were people fishing and kayaks. I like to throw a friendly wave and hope that doesn’t cause me to pitch off my board.
It was getting late or I might have pushed it farther. I needed to get off the water before dark, and that meant I needed to turn around. Two hours of solid paddling is enough anyway. Coming back was faster with the wind and current; however, the river still had surprises in movement. For example at random times, there would be drops and surges, or it felt like the board was goosed and pushed me forward toward the nose. No idea what that was but it made me laugh.
The way out? Just take the stairs. Right before the last dock prior to Sellwood bridge, dart left, and there are two different sets of steps leading out of the water. Incredibly civilized. Sort of like Venice, only concrete rather than marble. Close enough to make for a magical water outing.

Compounds with Therapeutic Potential against Novel Respiratory 2019 Coronavirus.Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 2020 04 21; 64(5)AA
Currently, the expansion of the novel human respiratory coronavirus (known as SARS-CoV-2 [severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2], COVID-2019 [coronavirus disease 2019], or 2019-nCoV [2019 novel coronavirus]) has stressed the need for therapeutic alternatives to alleviate and stop this new epidemic. The previous epidemics of infections by high-morbidity human coronaviruses, such as SARS-CoV in 2003 and the Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) in 2012, prompted the characterization of compounds that could be potentially active against the currently emerging novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2. The most promising compound is remdesivir (GS-5734), a nucleotide analog prodrug currently in clinical trials for treating Ebola virus infections. Remdesivir inhibited the replication of SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV in tissue cultures, and it displayed efficacy in nonhuman animal models. In addition, a combination of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) protease inhibitors lopinavir/ritonavir and interferon beta (LPV/RTV-IFN-β) was shown to be effective in patients infected with SARS-CoV. LPV/RTV-IFN-β also improved clinical parameters in marmosets and mice infected with MERS-CoV. Remarkably, the therapeutic efficacy of remdesivir appeared to be superior to that of LPV/RTV-IFN-β against MERS-CoV in a transgenic humanized mouse model. The relatively high mortality rates associated with these three novel human coronavirus infections, SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV, and SARS-CoV-2, have suggested that proinflammatory responses might play a role in the pathogenesis. It remains unknown whether the generated inflammatory state should be targeted. Therapeutics that target the coronavirus alone might not be able to reverse highly pathogenic infections. This minireview aims to provide a summary of therapeutic compounds that have shown potential in fighting SARS-CoV-2 infections.

Congress is going after another drug maker’s pricing tactics.
In a letter to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), 12 members of Congress asked the government agencies to bring down the price of Xtandi, a drug used to treat prostate cancer.
The drug costs $129,000 for a course of treatment in the US, but just one-third of that in countries like Japan and Sweden, the legislators argued.
Xtandi was developed by California-based biopharmaceutical company Medivation and Japan’s Astellas Pharma. Medivation was down about 5% in after-hours trading on Monday after the letter was made public.
The legislators, including Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) and Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Maryland), asked the NIH and HHS to hold a public hearing that would determine whether they should use “march-in rights” that would allow them to lower the price of the drug, even though it’s under patent protection.
Cummings and Sanders have gone after other pharmaceutical companies in the past, in particular Turing Pharmaceuticals and Valeant Pharmaceuticals, which are known for buying up old drugs and jacking up their prices. Xtandi is different from other such targets because it’s still on patent and hasn’t drastically risen in price since its approval.
These march-in rights to set new prices have not been used since their inception in 1980 in the context of high pharmaceutical prices, the letter said.
Xtandi, otherwise called enzalutamide, is used to treat late-stage prostate cancer. It was originally approved by the US Food and Drug Administration in 2012 for its ability to increase how long patients survived.
In response to the letter and its reference of the list price of the drug, an Astellas spokesman said:
“Xtandi is a standard of care for advanced prostate cancer in the United States and widely available as is evidenced by the 20,000 patients who received it in 2015. During 2015, 81% of privately insured patients paid $25 or less out of pocket per month for Xtandi and 79% of Medicare patients paid nothing out of pocket per month for Xtandi. For eligible patients who do not have insurance or are underinsured, and have an annual adjusted household income of $100,000 or less, Astellas provides Xtandi for free under the Astellas Access Program; in 2015 over 2,000 men fighting advanced prostate cancer received Xtandi for free.
“The discussion of Xtandi’s price in the KEI petition fails to reflect what payers or patients actually pay for the medicine.”

Although “Gypsy” is often performed throughout the Bay Area, it’s easy to see why Contra Costa Civic Theatre didn’t hesitate to include the show in its season for the third time in its history.
With such Stephen Sondheim/Jule Styne favorites as “Let Me Entertain You,” “You Gotta Get a Gimmick” and “Everything’s Coming Up Roses,” it’s hard to resist. And then there is the rags-to-riches storyline of the ultimate stage mom (Mama Rose) pushing her daughters into vaudeville during the Depression, relentlessly working to make first one and then the other a star, giving up her own shot at happiness in the process.
Directed by Daren A.C. Carollo, the show makes the most of CCCT’s long stage with the many scene changes very well-handled. Jessica Fisher gives a powerhouse performance as Mama Rose. Practically a force of nature, she certainly knows how to belt out a tune and manages to temper her character’s overbearing intensity with a vulnerability that easily charms the audience. Ryan Weible does a fine job as the man who loves her, with Olivia Hytha tapping up a storm as Baby June and doe-eyed Marianne Scott perfect as Baby Louise.
Sondheim’s intricate score and the many dance numbers require quite a bit from the young cast members, who had no problem delivering. It was nice to see Jack Sale, who started performing at the Lesher Center as a youngster, show his dancing talents as Tulsa in a lovely duet with Morgan Frazer as the older Louise (aka Gypsy).
While it’s always great to have a live orchestra, the group overpowered the performers at times, and, unfortunately, the usual showstopper “You Gotta Get a Gimmick” featuring the aging strippers (Ali Lane, Noelle Guerin and Kerry Chapman) was a disappointment. But Jessica Fisher’s performance more than makes up for any uneven performances in the cast.
“Gypsy” continues through July 17 at CCCT, 951 Pomona Ave., El Cerrito. Call 510-524-9132 or go to www.ccct.org.
Kay DeMartini brings her real stories to Walnut Creek’s new library, 8 p.m. July 16. Seven local storytellers will expound on the evening’s theme of “Life’s A Trip.” Beer and wine will be available for purchase with proceeds benefiting the library, and parking is free. Best to leave the kids at home. Sometimes the stories (always true and told in 10 minutes) can be a bit outrageous. For more information, go to www.kaydemartini.com.
California Shakespeare Theater kicked off the world premiere of “The Verona Project” by nationally renowned playwright Amanda Dehnert this past weekend.
Inspired by Shakespeare’s “The Two Gentlemen of Verona,” the comedy fuses theater and a rock concert for a joyful exuberance sure to keep you warm under Bruns Amphitheatre’s starry mantel.
The coming-of-age story tells of two boyhood friends and the girl who comes between them. I haven’t had the opportunity to see it yet, but I hear the show is a blast.
A preshow party for the LGBT community takes place at 6:30 p.m. July 15, followed by the show at 8 p.m. Cal Shakes has also planned a teen night, 6:30 p.m. July 28. The event includes a pizza party and interactive preshow engagement with Cal Shakes Director of Artistic Learning Trish Tillman followed by a 7:30 p.m. performance of “The Verona Project.”
The show runs through July 31 at the Bruns Amphitheater, 100 Gateway Blvd., Orinda.
Call 510-548-9666 or go online to www.calshakes.org.
The Aurora Theatre will extend its cleverly staged production of Franz Kafka’s “Metamorphosis” through July 24. For more information, call 510-843-4822 or go to www.auroratheatre.org.
The talented young people of Diablo Theatre Company’s Stars 2000 present “Fiddler on the Roof” July 22-31 at the San Ramon Valley High School Performing Arts Center in Danville. Mark Cornfield directs this poignant story of a poor Jewish milkman and his five daughters in Tsarist Russia. The July 28 performance is dedicated to the late Aaron Antonali, who played the role of Tevye in the teen company’s 1996 production of “Fiddler.” Antonali died in 2002 at the age of 23. Proceeds from the evening will be donated in his memory to the Contra Costa Crisis Center. For more information, call 925-324-7359.
If you haven’t had an opportunity to see “Billy Elliot” at San Francisco’s Orpheum Theatre, here’s a chance to see a heartwarming Broadway musical at a discount. Thirty tickets per performance at $40 per ticket will be available two hours before curtain. They’re cash only, a limit of two per person and all on a first-come, first-served basis.

Judy Butcher (aka the Virtual Quilter) continues her series on the Do You EQ Blog!
Here, and now, you can see how I start designing quilts with the blocks.
I start with a simple, straight setting with minimal spaces for blocks… usually 3 x 3.
I add simple, basic borders, just solid strips of fabrics used in the blocks.
This is one of the many things I love about Electric Quilt. As soon as I add blocks the design looks finished. I may want to change the blocks, and make the borders much more elaborate, but I start to get a feel for the finished design as soon as the first blocks are added. If it looks like a dogs dinner at this point I would get out of the project file and never go back.
So let me add some blocks to the space inside the borders.
Oops! Used the wrong fabric in the middle border… meant to use the block background colour!
Despite that, I am liking the colour combination.
Added a different block and changed my mind about the border fabric… for now, anyway. But for now it will do, and time to start mixing up the blocks.
I am going to try any two blocks.
Wow! I don’t always get something I like that quickly, but it can happen. Sometimes I will go through quite a few combinations before I get a keeper. I was going to add the centre block to the corners but liked this version enough to save it.
Here is what I was thinking of…
…which is also interesting!
Another two blocks alternated. Not too sure about that combination.
Change the corner blocks, not an improvement.
Change the centre block and I like the way the centre block sits with the blocks on all four sides.
But let’s change those blocks anyway, and now the centre block has an interesting link to all the other blocks, and almost looks as though it has grown into the blocks around it.
The corners of the design are a bit busy though.
That didn’t work as well as I had hoped, so I am going to try something different.
I have removed the corner blocks and I want to remove two of the squares from the corners of the star blocks.
Like that! But I think I want the corner of the Drunkards Path variation block back again.
Now the centre has outgrown the centre square again, which I like, but don’t like the rest of the clutter in the corners and want to tone it down a bit.
That’s the way I like it!
Would you like to see the boring version of testing the blocks? I don’t use it a lot, but it is a good exercise when I don’t really have any bright ideas coming. The boring version is a project file with the blocks I am using, and a heap of two block quilt designs… there are a few designs which I will follow up, but a lot of ones I won’t bother with now I have seen how the blocks look together. You can even use the file to recreate designs I shave shown above. Just remember that if you make any quilts you owe me, and the Electric Quilt Company a photo.

Farmers in the hilly terrains of Kerala have been innovating, adopting and adapting practices and processes to address the impacts of climate change. Engaging such innovative farmers is key in developing sustainable solutions.
The hilly terrains of Kerala are characterised by undulating topography with half of the area being covered by government reserve forest. Most of the villages in these areas are remote and are deprived of basic infrastructure facilities. The location specific needs of these villages are neglected by the formal sectors. Since the market is limited, private sector too does not seem to be interested in developing and marketing technologies and products needed for the high ranges. For farmers, developing own solutions and innovations is the only option to survive and maximize the limited local resources.
Peermade Development Society (PDS) is a renowned NGO based in Kerala, India is working with tribal groups, marginal farmers and migrant communities in the hilly terrains of Kerala. PDS has been in the field of farmers’ innovation for the past 18 years. It has identified and documented more than 1000 innovations from high risk areas of Kerala. These include plant varieties, agricultural cultivation practices, agronomic measures, soil and water management pest and disease management, harvesting, post harvesting, processing etc.
The documented innovations also include specific innovations developed by farmers and indigenous communities to address the impacts of climate change and its mitigation. Identification and selection of location specific crop varieties, revival of drought resistant underutilized crops, crop diversification and intercropping are some of the strategies and innovations developed by farmers in response to climate change which are described here.
Selection and propagation of location specific cultivators
Pepper, cardamom, coffee, rubber, tea, cassava and paddy are the major crops cultivated by the farmers of high ranges of Kerala, especially in Idukki district. Hilly tracts of Idukki vary from 800 to 2400 meters above mean sea level. It has been recorded that the same varieties produce at different levels at different altitudes.
|Table 1: Local cultivators of cardamom developed by farmers suitable to different locations
Thiruthali : Suited to mist conditions 1100 m to 1200 m (MSL)
Panikulangara :Adapted to higher altitude-1400 m to 2000 m (MSL)
Elarajan : Adapted to 900 m to 1200 m (MSL)
Wonder : Adapted to lower altitude (900m to 1000m) MSL
Njallani : Adapted to 1100 to 1200 m MSL
Kannielam : Suitable for plains
Cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum) is considered as one of the most sensitive crops to climate change. It has been reported that minor changes and fluctuations in temperature, rainfall and relative humidity have fall outs in growth and production of cardamom.
We have documented several cultivars of cardamom, identified, selected and propagated by the farmers (See Table 1) adaptable to specific altitudes. These varieties are adaptable to specific climatic conditions such as presence of mist, humidity, rainfall, altitude and temperature. Keen observation of natural selection process and identifying suitable cultivar specific to local conditions and its propagation are the methodology followed by most of the cardamom farmer innovators for identifying the location suitable varieties. Production in the existing conditions, acceptance to market, disease and drought resistance and water intake are the criteria adopted by the farmers for the natural selection.
Pepper (Piper nigrum) is a native of Western Ghats and genetic diversity of pepper is widely reported in these areas. Pepper is another crop sensitive to climatic conditions. We have been able to identify more than 5 different cultivars of pepper, developed or propagated by the farmers suitable to the prevailing specific climatic and soil conditions of Kerala. Innovative farmer KT Varghese observed that most of the hybrid pepper wines cultivated by him were destroyed by drought and quick wilt (caused by the attack of dreadful fungus of phytophthora) during late nineties. A particular plant was unaffected with the disease. He noticed that it had drought and disease resistant qualities and later he propagated it. Spices Board and National Innovation Foundation approved this variety for the drought and disease resistant qualities.
Reviving traditional and local crops
Attempts to revive and propagate drought and disease resistant cowpea varieties by Urali tribal communities residing in government reserve forest, is another successful case of farmer experimentation. Local cowpea varieties (Vigna sps) cultivated by the Urali tribal groups are known for their nutritional qualities, less maintenance, vigour and resistance to extreme conditions. Due to influx of other common varieties of pea in the market, majority of the community members have ignored and neglected the qualities of these varieties. However, a few women farmers in the Urali tribal community have conserved and maintained these cowpea varieties. Due to failure of hybrid pea varieties, more and more women from Urali communities and surrounding villages are showing greater interest in the cultivation of local cowpea. Indigenous methods for preservation of seeds of cowpea variety are also interesting.
We found several farmers who were earlier cultivating hybrid cassava on commercial lines, are now cultivating different varieties of cassava on their farm. Usually, hybrid varieties give 4-5 kg of yield in 6 months, whereas the local varieties yield for a period of 10 to 12 months. But due to the changes in the climatic conditions, the yield of hybrid cassava has decreased drastically. These farmers collected traditional varieties of cassava which require less water and have high productivity, and started cultivating them. Ambakkadan variety of cassava, developed by a farmer by selection, is one of the preferred varieties by the farmers in recent years.
Crop diversification is the strategy adopted by the farmers in response to climate change. There is an interesting case from a remote village of Cumbumeetu in Idukki district, where coffee and paddy were the major crops. Though the average rainfall is 3265 mm in Idukki district, this particular area witnessed severe drought from 1995 to 2003. Continuous failure of monsoon forced the farmers to experiment with new crops. They have started cultivating wheat, ragi (millets), yams and vegetables. By 2005, they started getting good monsoon and at times they received more rain than expected. This change motivated farmers to try other crops such as cardamom and pepper. Presently, they grow cardamom, pepper along with vegetables like cauliflower, carrot, yams and amorphophallus. These adaptations show the resilience and experimenting capabilities of farmers for adapting to the changing climatic conditions.
Rising temperature is considered as one of factors resulting in the decline in rubber production. To cope with the decrease in production, farmers are trying various crops as intercrops with rubber. Arrowroot (Maranta arundinacea) is the most suited intercrop in rubber plantations. The processed arrowroot powder is in very high demand in the market. Though the market price is very high for processed arrow root, farmers are reluctant to cultivate arrowroot due to the difficulty in processing. Manual processing and powdering of arrowroot powder is time consuming and involves lot of drudgery. A farmer innovator AT Thomas developed a machine for grinding arrowroot and made the process easy and without drudgery. The availability of powdering machine prompted several farmers to start cultivating arrowroot in a commercial way.
Identification of suitable variety of coffee that could be cultivated in rubber plantation is another innovation reported by the farmers. Intercropping of pepper and cardamom have also been tried by several innovative farmers in high ranges of Kerala.
Insights and suggestions
Some of the insights we gained in the process of documentation of farmers’ innovation and also a few suggestions to promote farmers innovations as a tool to combat climate change are as follows.
a) Farmers’ innovations, approaches and survival strategies are to be documented, studied, supplemented, disseminated and recognized.
b) Local and farmer developed varieties have special significance in the context of climate change. Developing market value and value added products for farmer developed and underutilized crops will help in diffusion and acceptance of these crops among the mainstream community. It has been observed that, more farmers’ innovations are reported on crops which have commercial value. Creating commercial, brand and market values will prompt and incentivise farmers for experimentation.
c) Crop improvement of plant varieties by crossbreeding with farmer developed /local varieties for developing drought and disease resistant varieties has tremendous scope.
d) Technical and mentoring support is needed for farmer innovators for experimenting and upscaling their initiatives and innovations.
e) Developing processing technologies and value added products for underutilized and local crops is the need. Though farmers are showing interest in cultivating indigenous/and underutilized crops, unavailability of suitable processing technologies is the major constraint.
The demand and needs of rural villages are diverse and location specific. Uniform and standardized solutions will not meet the area specific needs. Participation and active involvement of farmers, especially innovative farmers is the key for developing sustainable solutions. Documentation of successful farmers’ innovation reiterate the importance of promoting local solutions for addressing global problems.

The latest road casualties data from the Department for Transport has highlighted how much work needs to be done to promote safer powered bike riding after it was revealed that 21 per cent of all fatalities were motorcyclists, despite riders covering only just over one per cent of all the road miles covered.
Tragically, 354 powered two wheeler riders – that’s people on motorcyclists, scooters or mopeds – died on the road in 2022, with a further 16,962 injured, many seriously.
Good Egg Safety motorbike experts said: “The statistics are worrying, particularly because they show motorbike deaths are five per cent up on those for 2019 (figures for 2020 and 2021 are generally overlooked as the traffic levels were reduced considerably by the pandemic).
“We need a comprehensive campaign to promote both safer riding and better awareness of the challenges motorcyclists face among the rest of the motoring public. Too many of these fatalities are linked to either risky behaviour by riders or poor observation, awareness and decision making by car, van and HGV drivers.
“Everyone needs to work harder to reduce these tragic figures.”

After a season of recovery and renewal, we’re entering into the next phase of community life together. Last year, we launched a new nonprofit (the Center for Prophetic Imagination) and a few months ago, our community-mates Zed and Wyatt bought the house across the street. And so, we’re currently residing between two households.
As these things have unfolded, we’ve discerned a new vision for life together. It isn’t all that different than what it used to be. But it seemed important for us to mark a new season of life together. And along with a new “rule of life” we’ve adopted a new name: The Wildflower Worker.
Why the name change? Well, since we no longer have regular worship together and only Mark is formally connected with the Mennonite church, we wanted a broader name. We also wanted to signal to folks that, while our relationships with the Mennonite church remain important to us, we want to welcome people from other denomination, no denomination, and even folks of different faiths, to explore life with us.
In coming months, we’ll be renovating space to allow for new live-in members, we’ll be exploring the idea of “affiliate membership.” And more. Stay tuned!
