The Fountain Theatre is a member of a coalition of intimate theatres in Los Angeles that meets weekly to discuss the future of theatre in Los Angeles as we navigate COVID-19 and beyond.
Like Los Angeles, our theatre community has always been at the forefront of innovation. As an integral part of the cultural conversation, a group of 44 artistic directors from LA's intimate theatres came together two months ago to discuss how we can move through the current COVID crisis and come out stronger. We are committed to raising the bar and pushing the boundaries of professional theatre. At weekly virtual roundtables, we continue to remind each other that theatre is a collaborative art form, in every sense of the word. We are stronger together as one community regardless of company size.
While the doors to our theatres may be shut, our artists continue to innovate and utilize new technology to serve Los Angeles and promote the importance of theatre. Our creative work has never been limited to our stages, and the boundless creativity of Los Angeles theatre artists will ensure that our theatres will reopen with a renewed sense of purpose. Los Angeles is one of the cultural capitals of the world, and together we make sure that #LALivesOnStage.
The 44 theatres are:
24th Street Theatre, Actors Co-op, After Hours Theatre Company, Ammunition Theatre Company, Antaeus Theatre Company, Boston Court Pasadena, Celebration Theatre, Chance Theater, Company of Angels, Coeurage Theater Company, Echo Theater Company, Ensemble Studio Theatre/LA, Fountain Theatre, Ghost Road Theatre Company, Greenway Arts Alliance, IAMA Theatre Company, Impro Theatre, Latino Theatre Company, Lower Depth Theatre Ensemble, Matrix Theatre Company, Moving Arts, Odyssey Theatre Ensemble, Open Fist Theatre Company, Ophelia's Jump Productions, Playwrights' Arena, Pacific Resident Theatre, Rogue Machine Theatre, Ruskin Group Theatre, Sacred Fools Theater Company, Sierra Madre Playhouse, Skylight Theatre Company, Son of Semele, Theatre of NOTE, The 6th Act, The Group Rep Theatre, The Inkwell Theater, The New American Theatre, The Road Theatre Company, The Robey Theatre Company, The Victory, United Stages, VS. Theatre Company, Theatre West, and Whitefire Theatre.
The group is taking this opportunity of a pause in their programming to consider some of the bigger issues facing Los Angeles intimate theatres. Most importantly, they have implemented action committees for creating collaborative strategies in health and safety protocols for audiences, staff, and artists. Other areas of focus include marketing, and planning an online Intimate Theatre Festival, with a Live LA Theatre Festival in the works once everyone is able to gather again. Partnering with LA Stage Alliance/onStage.LA, the group is aiming to establish a central hub for all Los Angeles theatre activities.

Not so many people in the CIS countries heard about this trading platform with which it is possible to trade with binary options. And even if you try to find this in the Internet, by driving the corresponding word in a search engine, almost all the links will be in English.
TechFinancials trading platform preferred by many professional traders in the world, because of its vast functionality, immense capabilities and sophisticated instrumentation. We see this as the only reason why the terminal is not yet so common in our area (beginners investors prefer simplified platform).
Today TechFinancials is actively conquering the American market, and this means that very soon the developer will update its version of the platform, presenting a new terminal, taking into account the interests and preferences of traders of the CIS countries.
Successful trading on TechFinancials trading platform
TechFinancials terminal was established in 2009, when the growing popularity of binary options started. While some developers are trying to create a terminal based on the already existing platforms for Forex trading, the company offers a new innovative product, developed on the basis of efficient technologies such as ORCA+. The basis of the program laid the basic algorithms and strategies for the market trade, aspects of pricing that allows you to bring in TechFinancials a range of effective tools for doing profitable trade.
The terminal has in its arsenal more than 100 trading instruments, from currencies, stocks and stock indices, finishing with metals, oil and other assets of commodity markets. Until recently, the minimum lot size was $25, now the threshold was lowered to $10.
Trading opportunities for the trader (strategies and types of binary options):
- High/Low. The classic option that you can open 15 minutes before it ends;
- Touch. Type of "Touch" option;
- "Border". Options "inside" or "outside" the border;
- short-term options are presented in several variations of the expiry time: 60 seconds 2 and 5 minutes;
- long-term options are presented only in two variants: 1 day or 1 month;
- mobile trading for for smartphones and tablets operating sustems (Android, IOS).
Peculiarities of TechFinancials terminal for clients:
- speed of work. Thanks to a patented pricing technology platform features high performance it has a unique quick speed of processing applications of traders;
- prices and quotes on any asset is shown in real time, allowing you to make a decision in accordance with the market sentiments;
- the possibility of combining trading with currencies (Forex), CFDs (contracts for difference) and binary options trading;
- availability of online trading and mobile trading.
One of the most attractive functions for client – the ability to sell the option ahead of time, provided that, prior to his graduation there is more than 5 minutes. Function of early closure of the option is offered not by every broker. If it is installed automatically, it can be switched off.
Advantages of TechFinancials for brokers:
- integration with the API. The marketing Department has full access to CRM and other technologies to obtain information about the work of the broker;
- the trading platform is connected directly to the website of the developer, which allows the broker to obtain statistics and analysis from TechFinancials instantly;
- the broker may choose those modules that are of interest to him and his clients. It is possible to obtain the whole complex of services from the developer, which includes a full functional website development and connection of payment systems for financial transactions.
How to start cooperation with TechFinancials.
Cooperation with developers is possible only after filing a request for partnership. The website is entirely in English, there is quite a little information about the platform – kind of protection from those who try to use the platform for free.
Terms of partnership are discussed only after its initiator (broker) will leave the data (Skype, email, phone). The opportunity to demo test of a trading platform of TechFinancials potential investors on the company's website is not provided by the developer.
To sum up. Definitely for traders with little experience or beginners trading platform TechFinancials is difficult to grasp, but professionals will surely find many advantages in it. The brokers who become partners of TechFinancials, almost make no changes to the platform.

Full disclosure: The only stock I own is a dog-food brand. I like dogs more than I like stocks (and people). But I do pay a lot of attention to restaurant trading day-to-day and I have to say, it's a fickle and crazy world. Let's look at McDonald's for example. The fast-food behemoth reported same-store sales growth of 4.5 percent in its U.S. stores in the fourth quarter and shares fell. Yeah, the bar is super high and it was a down day overall, but still. Also, people start complaining on Twitter about getting sick at Chipotle and its shares plummet. It's not easy answering the bell every day. That's for sure.
Here were the biggest headlines of the week:
GC's new look might be the slickest buffet in history. It's worth checking out if you haven't already. The brand took inspiration from a residential kitchen, with tiled walls and food displayed on buffet bars, and really blew out a new prototype. This location features stone exterior features, wood-toned interior ceilings, a double-sided fireplace, and, most notably, 1,000 extra square feet in the dining space that, in previous designs, was reserved for the kitchen. The reimaging program will work its way through the 491-unit system, and carry the classic brand into the future.
You have to give McDonald's credit: When the financials are rolling, the brand isn't resting. Hot sales and tax reform are lining the brand's pockets these days. In response, McDonald's said it would invest $2.4 billion of capital in 2018 alone, and open about 1,000 new locations. Much of this will funnel into accelerating its Experience of the Future redesign across the system. Having visited one of these, I wasn't sure what to make of it exactly. I will say this, though: Down the road, five years, maybe less, other brands will start this initiative well after McDonald's has perfected it. It will kind of be like the early days of hybrid cars for Toyota competitors. Or something like that. Either way, this is a good run for McDonald's. Let see where it ends up.
Barbecue is one of the country's regional treasures, and that's not going to change. Is it to blame for why few brands (if any, really) have been able to scale it across the country? That is part of it. The preparation and skill involved is another. Here in North Carolina, we can't agree by zip code, let alone state lines. Vinegar, sauce, so on and so on and so on. I just don't know if I can see any full-service brand really taking barbecue from coast to coast and in between. But you never know. Here's a look at some national brands and what they've been through in regards to growth. Pictured is Sonny's BBQ's Head Pitmaster Bryan Mroczka.
During our Facebook Live series this week (check it out) somebody asked a question probably a lot of people did following this news: Why did Panera share before it hit? Well, I think that goes to show you the kind of brand Panera is. Not just integrity wise, but business wise. No matter what happens, if people get sick or not, they will be able to say, "Hey, we did everything we could to prevent this. And we were transparent from the outset." Get ahead of your negative press and you will own your press. All that said, Listeria is a scary deal. Hopefully this flames out into nothing.
I was beginning to wonder when the next major brand would be dealt. For a while there it felt like the entire industry was on sale. Huddle House's move to little-known Elysium Management was intriguing on a couple of levels. The family-dining brand did have its share of struggles a few years back but has done very well with Sentinel backing its growth. In the past six years, average-unit volume is up 14 percent, and the brand is expanding. Huddle House signed 36 new franchise agreements in fiscal 2017—its biggest spurt in 15 years. As always with this kind of move, we end up wondering what's next? There are a lot of resources, from a remodel to these new agreements, poured into Huddle House. I'd expect much of the same moving forward, although, of course, it will be interesting to track.
Some recent data showed that a whopping 37 percent of customers are still concerned about the brand's food-safety woes. That's somewhat alarming. I'm left asking myself, is it really more dangerous to eat at Chipotle than anywhere else? Probably not at this point. But the chain just can't shake that image. Being a public brand, every report triggers reaction, up or down (seems to be mostly down lately). I do wonder if a private-equity firm with deep pockets took Chipotle private how it would impact the perception, especially, say, five years from now. In that case, the daily reports from Wall Street analysts would likely stop and the chain's in-house team could start promoting its own news. Not sure this will happen, but it's an interesting concept.
Our associate editor, Laura Zolman Kirk, is a resident Kentuckian. For this piece, she recapped her best-of-the-best in the Bluegrass state. Better Mediterranean than Egypt? Time to believe it.
The 90-unit pizza chain out of San Antonio, Texas, has major growth goals: 1,000 restaurants in 10 years. To get there, the company felt it was important to switch out its logo, color scheme, and more as it prepares for national saturation. "In order to stay attuned to the ever-changing needs and interests of our consumers, we knew the importance of the need to constantly evolve in order to stay ahead of the competition. As any successful brand does, we are modernizing our logo to reflect the modern and vibrant era we live in," the company said.

Dallas officer in shooting to be charged with manslaughter
A white Dallas police officer who shot and killed her black neighbor and later explained that she had mistaken his apartment for her own will be charged with manslaughter, the police chief said Friday.
It's not clear what the officer may have said to 26-year-old Botham Jean between entering his home and shooting him late Thursday, police Chief U. Renee Hall said during a news conference. But given what investigators currently know about the case, they decided to pursue a manslaughter charge, she said.
"Right now there are more questions than we have answers," Hall said, adding that she spoke to Jean's sister to express the department's condolences to the family.
It's not clear whether the officer is in custody, though Hall said she didn't know the officer's whereabouts.
According to police, the officer, whose name hasn't been released, returned home in her uniform after her shift. She called dispatch to report that she had shot a man, and she later told the officers who responded to the call that she believed the victim's apartment was her own when she entered it.
The responding officers administered first aid to Jean, a native of the Caribbean island country of St. Lucia who attended college in Arkansas and worked for accounting and consulting firm PwC. Jean was taken to a hospital, where he died.
Hall said the officer's blood was drawn to be tested for drugs and alcohol. She declined to speculate as to whether fatigue or other factors, including race, may have factored into the shooting. She also said the Texas Rangers will conduct an independent investigation.
Authorities haven't said how the officer got into Jean's home, or whether his door was open or unlocked. The apartment complex is just a few blocks from Dallas' police headquarters.
Residents of the apartment complex said they can access their units with a regular key or through a keypad code.
Two women who live on the second floor near where the shooting happened said they heard a lot of noise late Thursday.
"It was, like, police talk: 'Open up! Open up!'" 20-year-old Caitlin Simpson told The Dallas Morning News.
Yazmine Hernandez, 20, was studying with Simpson when they heard the commotion.
"We heard cops yelling, but otherwise had no idea what was going on," Hernandez said.
Jean grew up in St. Lucia and attended Harding University in Searcy, Arkansas, where he often led campus worship services before graduating in 2016, the school said in a statement. That July, he went to work for PwC in risk assurance.

On Sunday the 4th Congressional District Democratic Committee held a family gathering and picnic at Truman State Park near Warsaw. Approximately one hundred individuals, many who are party activists in their counties and the state, attended. Early in the afternoon legislative district, state senate district, and 4th Congressional District Democratic Party candidates took turns to speak to those assembled.
James William, the Democratic Party candidate in the 54th Legislative District (approximately Western Johnson County, including the western half of Warrensburg) and a registered nurse, addressed health care.
James Williams (D): …There isn't one of us here who wants to seek this position and do a bad job. I have spent my whole work career of forty some years as registered nurse and as a nurse practitioner. And my core principle is and has been and will be to make people's lives better. Whether that is in health, that is in, uh, all the things that we struggle with in life. I have found my self, with people and families, helping ort out the issues that face us and all our families. I believe that there is much we can do in Missouri to make people's lives better…
James Williams (D): …We have fifteen hospitals in Missouri that have already closed. And you can't run a deficit, you can't run a business in the red continually and expect a good outcome. I know for my self and my wife who live in Johnson County, and for you in the counties in which you live, our rural hospitals are really suffering from the fact that we've not expanded Medicaid in this state. [applause] Those are hundreds of millions of dollars that could be coming in to this state to keep our rural hospitals open. The medical centers in the, our three major medical center areas, they can get by without this. But our rural hospitals can't. And if you don't think our rural hospitals are not providing emergency care to people who are not insured or do not have a mechanism by which to pay those bills you would be wrong. Because we are providing that care, so the hospitals are not being compensated for it. And this injustice for access to health care has to end. That is something I can vote for in House seat fifty-four. And that everyone running for a position in this Missouri legislature can change that. If all we ever did was to change that one thing it would improve the lives of everyone who lives in the State of Missouri.
I won't, uh, go on any farther, but I appreciate your listening. I appreciate your listening to who will follow me and the ones that were before me because we need your help. Almost every one of you will be, go out and vote. But what you can do is you can talk to your neighbor, you can talk to that cousin who never votes and you can talk to them and get them to the polls. And tell them how important it is.
You've heard a lot of ideas of what can change in Missouri to make everybody's lives better. But it'll only happen if the people who we know can hear my story and these other folks' story through you.
So, I ask you for that support and I ask you to, uh, encourage them that they might find their way to support important issues for working families, nd people who are retired, hoping to have a retirement, and for those who are disabled.
I thank you for your time. [applause]

Paul Claude Silva
(31 October 1922 – 12 June 2014)
Paul Claude Silva died in Berkeley, California, USA on June 12, 2014, at the age of 91. His career, founded on a genuine love of algae and an appreciation of the importance of history, context, and continuity in science, coincided with the flourishing of phycology during the second half of the 20th century and encompassed teaching, research, communication, outreach, and development of standards. His life's work focused on botanical (especially phycological) nomenclature, monographs of the green algal genus Codium, preparation of catalogs, compilation of information for encyclopedias, and production of floras. Believing in the importance of international cooperation and collaboration in science, he was instrumental in the founding of the International Phycological Society. He served as chairman of the organizing committee and communicated with phycologists worldwide to gain support (Silva & Papenfuss 1981). He edited Phycologia for its first seven years and was elected president of the society in 1965. In 1985 he was made the first honorary member of the society in recognition of his service (van den Hoek 1985. A review of his life-long association with the society was detailed in a tribute by Woelkerling (Woelkerling 2011). His service to the International Association for Plant Taxonomy was equally long-standing and valuable. He served as secretary and chairman of the Committee for Algae beginning in 1954 and was a member of the Editorial Committee beginning in 1981. His name appears in the editorship of five successive Codes of Botanical Nomenclature. His first published paper, dealing with algal generic names proposed for conservation, was followed by many other papers proposing clarifications and refinements to the Code. He was active in the American Phycological Society, the California Botanical Society and served on the editorial boards of many phycological journals.
Paul was born in San Diego, California, USA, 31 October, 1922. His preliminary memoir records a youth spent in diligent scholarship and piano practice, with summers at a family cabin in the mountains east of San Diego where he swam in river pools and pressed flowers between pages of his father's books. His musical interest and talent led Paul to apply to the Eastman Institute in Rochester, New York. He received a scholarship offer, but apparently decided that Rochester winters wouldn't suit a San Diego boy. It was in part Paul's musical talent that led to his career in phycology.
His uncle Guy Silva, who was instrumental in introducing refrigeration to the San Diego tuna fishing fleet, knew G. Allan Hancock (1875--1965), a philanthropist who had endowed a marine biology institute at the University of Southern California. Hancock, an enthusiastic cellist, had equipped the research ship, Velero III, with a grand piano and was always on the lookout for musically talented crew members. Paul applied to USC and was accepted and given a work-scholarship to catalog reprints in the Botany Department and accompany vocal students in the Music Department. His intended major course of study was botany; in his second semester he was introduced to marine botany by Prof. G.R. Johnstone (Silva, 1975).
Paul wrote of his phycological epiphany: "On October 4, 1941, we took our first field trip, to Whites Point near San Pedro. I was amazed and even ecstatic at the sight of so many beautiful seaweeds growing on the rocks at low tide. I had gone to the beach innumerable times, but always on sandy shores and never at an extreme low tide. I changed academic pathways immediately, from higher plants to marine algae." Whites Point (now called White Point, 33.71368, -118.31745) had been a favorite collecting locality of N.L. Gardner 30 years earlier and had not yet been devastated by the Los Angeles County sewage outfall. One of the algae that Paul collected on that trip (his number 40) was made the type specimen of Gigartina leptorhynchos f. cylindrica Dawson by E. Yale Dawson in 1949. This name, the type of which is in UC, is currently regarded as pertaining to the Mazzaella leptorhynchos (J. Agardh) G.L. Leister complex
Paul's undergraduate years were curtailed by WWII. In his senior year, he joined the United States Naval Reserve. He graduated from USNR Midshipmen's School in New York in June, 1944, and from Tactical Radar School in Florida in August. He joined the U.S.S. Darby (DE-218), a destroyer escort, at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Paul was a Combat Information Center officer (CIC), whose duty was to integrate and assess sonar, radar, and radio information and make recommendations to the officer on the bridge.
The U.S.S. Darby took part in the invasion of the Philippines; her progress towards the Philippines can be tracked by the collections that Paul made whenever he was allowed to go ashore: in Eniwetok, Guam, Kwajalein, Admiralty Islands, and Milne Bay, Papua New Guinea. After participating in the invasion of the Lingayen Gulf, the Darby went to Leyte, to Iwo Jima on patrol, to Pearl Harbor, and back to the Atlantic Ocean via the Panama Canal. Paul received his discharge papers on June 30, 1946.
Paul resumed his studies at USC and graduated in August, 1946. He was accepted to Stanford University in 1947 and studied with Gilbert Morgan Smith (Silva 1960). He concentrated on the marine algal flora of central California, collecting from areas of Monterey County that had only recently become accessible. He received his Master's degree 13 June, 1948, and was accepted in the doctoral program at the University of California, Berkeley. At Berkeley, Paul studied the taxonomy of South African Codium, a genus of globally distributed marine green algae, with George F. Papenfuss as his major advisor. He received the PhD in September, 1951. Paul's Berkeley years overlapped with those of phycologists Isabella Abbott, Robert Scagel, Florence Wagner, and Richard Norris.
After graduation, and a one-year post-doctoral fellowship investigating sewage treatment-pond algae, Paul was hired by the Botany Department at the University of Illinois. He liked to emphasize that he was hired as a morphologist, not a phycologist. During eight years at Illinois, he was promoted to Associate Professor and received tenure. He returned to Berkeley in 1960, became a Research Botanist and Curator of Algae at the University Herbarium and developed a research program dedicated to algae and botanical nomenclature. His position as Research Botanist did not allow him to formally have students; nevertheless he influenced the graduate careers of many at Berkeley and elsewhere. He collaborated with phycologists around the world. He delayed retirement until 2000 and continued a slightly reduced working routine until 2012, when limited mobility confined him to his house except for occasional excursions to the herbarium.
I met Paul in 1970, when, as an assistant in the University of California diving program, I visited the 8th floor (the phycology floor) of the old Life Sciences Building on the Berkeley Campus to learn about the common subtidal seaweeds of Santa Catalina Island in preparation for a workshop. Upon hearing about my goal, Paul stopped what he was doing (as I saw him do later with any visitor with a seaweed question) and walked around his library extracting books pertinent to Southern California algae. Then he cleared off a space on one of the workbenches and gave me a short course on Catalina subtidal algae, which he knew personally from dredging in his graduate years. During the next years, Paul continued to teach me about algae, nomenclature, and any number of related topics. Sometimes our discussions were side by side behind a microscope or manuscript, sometimes carried on by mail or e-mail, and sometimes by ham radio. What follows are my reflections on Paul's career and how he operated.
Early in Paul's graduate student years at Berkeley, influenced, I suspect, by G.F. Papenfuss, who was a notable stickler for detail, use of primary references, and historical accuracy, Paul conceived the idea of compiling a comprehensive index of all algal names. The impetus was the perceived inadequacy of De Toni's Sylloge Algarum, a monumental but incomplete and out-of-date work encompassing both taxonomy and nomenclature. Paul envisaged assembling all information pertaining to names and their typification, history, and publication. He did not propose to catalog circumscription or usage. With support from the National Science Foundation and the assistance of David Irvine and Nel Rem, Paul worked on the Index Nominum Algarum (INA) during his years at the University of Illinois and continued after he returned to U.C. Berkeley. As the INA became more complete, it served catalogers and monographers locally and globally and enabled Paul to contribute extensively to Index Nominum Genericorum, Authors of Plant Names, and Names in Current Use, all important taxonomic reference works. Much of Paul's work on the INA was done in the evening. In his weekday routine, before the renovation of the Life Science Building (1989--1994), Paul drove home for dinner (his house was 20 minutes away when traffic was light) and returned to the herbarium to work undisturbed from 9 to midnight.
The index was compiled on 3 X 5 inch file cards, with a card categorizing the publication of each name. The name cards and associated bibliography cards eventually occupied 80 file drawers (Silva & Moe 1999). In 1987, the computer began to supplant the typewriter, and cards were printed from data files. In 1999, cards were scanned and image files were made available online. Newly-entered entries from the data files were made available shortly after that. Paul's original goal was to edit the card information and publish the INA in a form similar to that of the Index Nominum Genericorum. He hoped to establish consistency of presentation during the editing process. Eventually, he realized that this goal was beyond his capacity and he became reconciled to making the INA available exclusively online. Currently, the INA is reasonably complete for most taxonomic groups published in romance languages. Some names published in Russian, Ukrainian, and Chinese sources have been bypassed or overlooked. There are other lacunae: some historical sources have not been processed (curiously, De Toni has been incompletely processed). Desmids, which are nomenclaturally complex for several reasons, are incomplete, as are Charophytes. The INA has been critically important to phycological taxonomy. Catalogs that Paul and others produced were possible only because of the INA and it was instrumental in the development of AlgaeBase. The INA can not be regarded as authoritative, because final editing has not been consistently undertaken. It should be regarded as a discovery tool, not as an arbiter.
There were three factors that predisposed Paul towards a critical investigation of the genus Codium as a doctoral project at Berkeley. : 1. William Albert Setchell, Papenfuss's predecessor in the Botany Department, had studied Codium extensively without publishing the results. He left a trove of notes and specimens. 2. Papenfuss and his collaborators had assembled collections from the species-rich South African coast that included many undescribed species of Codium. 3. Paul had collected a new species of Codium from the California Channel Islands that he eventually described as C. johnstonei.
The South African portion of his studies formed the basis of his dissertation. Between 1951 and 1960, he published monographs on Codium from California, Hawaii, Britain, southern Australia, Scandinavia, South Africa, and the tropical western Atlantic. He planned to produce a global monograph of the genus, and in 1951, he thought that this goal was within reach: "a general review of Codium from a phylogenetic point of view is in an advanced state of preparation" (Silva, 1951, p. 80). Unfortunately the general review kept receding as new collections were made and new habitats were explored and as his attention was increasingly taken up with nomenclature.
Paul brought standardization, consistency, and meticulous comprehensiveness of approach to the study of Codium. Having established that characters of gross morphology were polyphyletic and that there was a phylogenetic signal in utricle anatomy and development (size and shape, details of the apical wall, position of gametangia) he proceeded to accumulate standardized utricular data for all species, concentrating on species for which he had the necessary liquid-preserved specimens. Paul's papers have a sameness about them, but it is a pattern of functionality and comprehensiveness. His clear, complete, and comparable descriptions should serve as models. His drawings of utricles are simple, uniform, and somehow charming. Paul's technique did not require high-end equipment. Microscopy entailed low-power lenses used without cover-slips so that the shape of the utricles would not be obscured. Only the species with sculptured utricular apical walls required high-magnification. Drawings were made with a camera lucida or a projection system and inked with a crow-quill nib and India ink.
Paul effectively set Codium studies aside for nearly 20 years, and then, stimulated and encouraged first by Francisco Pedroche and then Max Chacana who wanted to learn his techniques and extend them, he addressed species from Mexico, Japan, Hawaii, Oman, and western Australia. Over the years, Paul and his collaborators described 36 new taxa of Codium and, equally importantly, revised identifications of other workers that had been based on superficial analysis of gross morphology. They began to apply molecular methods to test the circumscriptions based on utricular anatomy, bringing the goal of a global monograph back into view.
Paul processed tens of thousands of algal names, recording for each at minimum the name, author, bibliographic source, and provenance of the type. Having once typed the information on a 3 X 5 card and proofed it carefully, he remembered it. He seemed to be able to recall every plant that he collected, together with its associates and habitat. Strangely, Paul did not regard his memory as particularly good and sometimes remarked on outstanding feats of memory among his acquaintances. Paul's father, a postal worker, was reputed to associate the faces and names of thousands of servicemen in San Diego. His sister remembered the birthdays of everyone she met and could instantly compute the day of the week of birthdays. Paul may have thought that his memory paled in comparison, but to me it seemed eidetic. He did not trust his memory when he was stressed: when he performed on piano he played from a score, not from memory. He almost never delivered a talk extemporaneously --- he always read without deviation from a prepared script. Once he misplaced a paper he was working on and was forced to rewrite it, only to find the original later and discover that the rewritten version mirrored it nearly word-for-word. His memory remained acute until his last year.
Paul was a fast and accurate typist. When he was operating his IBM Selectric in one of the cubicles on the eighth floor of the old Life Sciences Building it sounded like cloth ripping. His first drafts were composed in his head with scattered handwritten notes as a guide. He assembled his thoughts while driving to work and at breakfast at the Student Union (as long as there was a Student Union). Arriving at his office, he would sit down and type out what he had composed. He concentrated so intently when he was typing that he was alarmed when anyone disturbed him unexpectedly.
Paul began to move from the electric typewriter to the computer terminal in the early 1980s, but it was not until e-mail became universal, years later, that he completed the transition. Paul was well aware of the potentialities of computerization through friends at the Intel Corporation. In 1966, he wrote a prescient book review for Science entitled Machine Data Processing and Plant Taxonomy" that admitted the inevitability of computerization. His introductory computerization project was an index for the first 20 years of Phycologia, which he had compiled on 3X5 cards. Paul asked me to learn such computer skills as were necessary for completing the project. Together we struggled with the vi editor and the TROFF phototypesetting protocol and eventually completed a camera-ready index.
The completion of the index (Silva 1984) coincided with Paul's introduction to the personal computer and the NewWord text editor (the precursor of WordStar) and ended Paul's foray into the Unix operating system. He found NewWord sufficiently to his liking that he continued to use it for the next 25 years. Probably because of his satisfaction with the rudimentary NewWord interface, Paul never became comfortable with the Macintosh/Windows desktop metaphor. When the Web was developed, he was dubious about online publication, in part because he imagined that it would encourage mediocrity and in part because he worried that credit would be misplaced. Nevertheless, he allowed us to put the Indian Ocean Catalogue (without the nomenclatural novelties) on the herbarium webserver in 1995 a few months before it was published by UC Press. He was less sanguine about making images of the INA cards available online, but eventually was convinced of the utility.
Paul's primary collecting interest was seaweeds. Although his serious collecting was accomplished in the northeast Pacific, whenever his travels took him to the shore he would not resist sampling. He participated in expeditions to the Galapagos Islands, the Gulf of California, and the California Channel Islands. Paul collected in the intertidal, with the exception of dredging with the Sefton Expedition in the California Channel Islands in the early 1950s. Unlike E. Yale Dawson (1918-1966), he never took up diving or snorkeling. Nevertheless, many of his specimens were collected by notable divers in the early days of scientific diving.
Paul liked to arrive at a collecting site well before low tide. He tried to collect comprehensively --- to get an idea of the totality of the flora at a site. As the tide receded, Paul collected methodically in the upper intertidal, working his way slowly down. He usually had a plastic bucket, plastic vials and plastic bags to segregate specimens, a putty knife to scrape specimens off rocks, and a hammer (usually a claw hammer!) and stone chisel to collect crusts. He sometimes scribbled brief notes on scraps of paper but, in general, seemed to rely on making mental pictures of each situation --- mental pictures that he would recall minutely while pressing the specimens later. He concentrated intensely, noting colour, texture, elasticity, smell (but not taste), and substratum. He paid particular attention to epiphytes and to special habitats, including what he called "sanded-in" --- areas alternately covered and uncovered by the annual sand cycle.
Upon returning from a collection site, he would write or type extensive notes. He stored specimens in ~3% formalin in seawater, retrieving them after a few days to press them or store them in in vials. He made some specimens as examples of individual taxa and some specimens (he called them ecological specimens) to represent small-scale communities. Like many of us, he enjoyed making pressed specimens --- partly from recalling details of the collection site and partly from arranging the specimen artistically and realistically.
Paul's collecting ambitions were not satisfied at the seashore: he began collecting modern Japanese prints in the late 1950s and continued diligently for 40 years, when the entire collection was lost when his house burned in the Oakland Hills fire of 1992. He also collected botanical books, concentrating on early phycological literature. Although much of the non-phycological part of the library was lost in the fire; most books pertaining to algae were housed in the herbarium. His library proved useful to Franz Stafleu and the compilers of Taxonomic Literature-II .(Stafleu & Cowan 1976-1988)
In addition to formal collections (seaweeds, books, prints, algal names, and phycological biographies), Paul had informal collections comprising clippings from newspapers and magazines concerning social issues (especially matters of sexual identity), conservation issues, San Diego County history, infelicities of English syntax, etymologies of English words and phrases, bureaucratic stupidities, and so on. The clippings were grouped in file folders or placed in boxes in herbarium cases. He did not find time to organize or assemble these clippings, but he derived great satisfaction in taking initial steps, as he found satisfaction in recording rainfall, electricity charges, water usage, and gasoline mileage.
Paul, as a very young boy, accompanied his teen-age sister to music lessons. She became his first piano teacher; he was an apt pupil. During his college days he was sought after as an accompanist. He had sung in a chorus in high school and became a charter member of the USC Glee Club. He told me that he composed for the piano but that his compositions were criticized as having value mainly as pedagogic vehicles. He continued playing piano throughout his adult life --- as a young man he occasionally gave lessons; later he practiced a little every day on a grand piano that occupied much of his living room.
In my acquaintance with Paul, I never found him listening to music when he was doing anything else: no music played in the phycology section of the herbarium; no music played in his car. I think he brought the same concentration to listening that he brought to other aspects of his life. He regularly attended the San Francisco Ballet, the San Francisco Opera, the San Francisco Symphony, and musical events at the University of California, including the Wednesday noon concerts. During the last months of his life, he liked to talk about music and music theory. He confessed that he was a synesthete: musical notes and chords were associated in his mind with specific colours. He did not have natural perfect pitch, but solfeggio training had given him the ability to identify tones accurately. Paul valued technical competence, but his highest praise went to artists who played with feeling, and that is how he strove to play.
Paul was a Research Botanist at Berkeley and had curatorial and research responsibilities. His formal opportunities for teaching were limited to occasional seminars and workshops. He had no official graduate students, but, for several of us, Thomas DeCew, Kathy Ann Miller, and I, he was an unofficial major professor instrumental in directing our dissertation projects. He reviewed the theses of most of the graduate students who went through the Botany Department during his tenure and these students recognized that they had received valuable lessons. Paul taught several short classes on phycology in Mexico and Peru (lecturing in Spanish, I believe), and to these foreign students can be added those that he effectively taught by correspondence course through diligent exchange of letters.
In his roles as journal editor, referee, researcher, and nomenclature authority, Paul was called upon to review hundreds of manuscripts. He was an unparalleled reviewer and editor. His technique was to understand the thrust of a paper under his review and to consider organizational and structural modifications before addressing style and syntax. He did not review anonymously and his goal was facilitation and translation rather than censorship. His criticism was expressed gently and politely, and often explained in great detail. Because of the international scope of his work, he was often faced with reviewing papers written by non-English speakers, and he took particular pains with these. No doubt he was helped by his own linguistic ability: he could read German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, and French passably. It is safe to say that he improved the intelligibility of all papers that he reviewed and amplified the significance of many of them.
Paul approached his own writing with equal editorial stringency. Nearly everything that he wrote (including his voluminous correspondence) went through multiple drafts and careful proofing. He strove for accuracy and clarity, and was especially aware of avoiding overly idiomatic phrases and American vernacular. He used dictionaries regularly to check the nuances of word meanings. Now and then, his favorite, the Oxford English Dictionary, would be required. Brown's Composition of Scientific Words and Stearn's Botanical Latin were always within arm's reach. Fowler's Modern English Usage informed his style. He avoided what Fowler calls "popularized technicalities" and claimed not to understand words like "heuristic" and "parameter."
Here are some recommendations that highlight his mastery. His obituary of E. Yale Dawson (Silva 1968) provides a good stylistic example of how Paul could simultaneously praise and criticize. The California Codium monograph shows the format of all of Paul's formal descriptions (Silva 1951). The paper on the Malaspina expedition (Silva 1996) is an example of how his initial interest in a taxon name diverted him into history. Paul claimed not to be interested in philosophy, but his account of extrinsic factors in systematics is an insightful discussion of subjectivity in taxonomy (Silva 1984). The Nomenclatural Notes in the Indian Ocean Catalogue (online at http://ucjeps.berkeley.edu/ioc.html) show Paul's concise and clear exposition of solutions to nomenclatural problems; he had no peer in this kind of writing.
The name P.C. Silva is associated with several hundred algal names as can be easily seen by searching for Silva in the online INA. The names span the gamut of algal phylogeny --- from monads to rockweeds, Agarum to Zoochlorella. Most of these names, of course, resulted from Paul's work on the INA. In the course of investigating the publication of names, Paul discovered historical discrepancies and lapses that had to be corrected to prevent misinterpretation. Although these resulted in new names and new combinations and thus represent bookkeeping and classification rather than discovery and description of new species, Paul never proposed them lightly. He investigated the complete history of all names that he dealt with, and educated himself about the biology of the organisms that bore the names. He often said that every alga had a story that comprised, in addition to natural history, the history of its discovery and investigation.
Paul described 36 new taxa in Codium in his career, by himself or with collaborators. For each of these new taxa, Paul himself made painstaking observations, comparisons, and drawings. He was responsible alone or as a collaborator for the descriptions of Antarcticothamnion polysporum, Bossea cooperi, B. insularis, B. sagittata, Desmarestia antarctica, Egregia menziesii subsp. insularis, Hesperophycus californicus, Platysiphonia parva, and Plumariopsis peninsularis. He also proposed numerous suprageneric names.
In his final months, Paul was distressed by what he failed to complete, and he worried that he received too much credit for the things that he accomplished. It is true that the two main goals that he established for himself as a graduate student, the Index Nominum Algarum and the Codium monograph were not finished. Other unfinished projects reside in file cabinets. Paul was a perfectionist, and he knew that perfectionism was an impediment --- that is evident in his obituary of Dawson, who was quite the opposite. Nevertheless, his career accomplishments are astounding. Furthermore, much of what he did would not (and probably could not) have been done by anyone else. Paul believed that what he was doing was important, and he knew that his accomplishments were based on those of Setchell and Papenfuss, the phycologists who preceded him at Berkeley. To stimulate continuation of their work and his, and to ensure that historical context would inform modern investigation, he left a bequest to the University of California to endow the Silva Center for Phycological Documentation, which, among other things, will continue to maintain the Index Nominum Algarum.

|The only Van Halen that truly matters y'all...
Historically, I've long hated change. It has been my standard operating procedure since even before Van Halen transformed into Van Hagar and also well before something called New Coke hit grocery shelves.
Yes, whoever coined the phrase, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!" is one of my favorite philosophers.
Sure there were signs of cracks in my exterior; small instances that one could point to and say, "Hey, you're not so scared of doing things differently after all." For instance, as I grew up I liked to rearrange my room at times, move furniture around and see what space opened up. In adulthood I also once had a brief, uneventful, and sublimely lacking affair with something called "decaf" coffee.
But for the most part, I've long enjoyed living each day in comfortable and familiar environs. That said, as I age I've noticed a need developing; a need to appreciate opportunities to stretch my horizon, challenge my own status quo, and take different paths through this jungle of Life.
A large part of that is why this blog has throttled down to a virtual halt. When my girls were young they would be in bed and asleep by 8:00pm most nights. I'm not much for mainstream television, so that left me the better part of two hours to write about my Alma Mater, her athletic developments in particular.
I got a real charge out of prepping a couple posts, scheduling them to publish about the time the ol' Dawgbone.com woke up, and then seeing the stats climb. There's some of you that have had this little blog bookmarked just about since its inception. Others have joined up along the way, some of those have even stuck around. I truly appreciate your visits, your comments, the emails, the criticisms, the laughs, the lows endured together that have made us stronger, and just the camaraderie along what will have been a ten year journey next month.
No, today is not the very end of Bernie's Dawg Blawg. But today is the start of something new for me that will mean...yes, somehow...even less posts here.
You see, one change I've been working on for some time (really ever since this post a few years back when I expected to go on a little hiatus) is broadening my writing into other avenues. And while some of those topics may have been broached here, it just seems a better idea to pivot rather than force content that doesn't always fit into what we've built here.

Tuesday 21st February 2017
Our evening was going very well – calmness after a two-hour nap was followed by Kingsley's beloved train ride to the (not so beloved) Mall of the Emirates and then onto Carrefour for a lively yet manageable grocery shop. Our shopping trolley was full, and bellies also (thanks to the endless 'live' cooking stations scattered about the shop floor: beef patties, turkey breast, warm bread, London Dairy icecream, taste-testing fruits and even sushi).
Then we hit the busy checkout and at toddler eye-level the dreaded candy counters. PLURAL. Such endless variety of sugar and chocolate I normally keep Kingsley well away from via distraction methods however tonight the inordinately busy checkout threw me and as I was negotiating the grocery belt/pram/shopping trolley/pushy shoppers (one of whom by the way elbowed his way before me leading to an almighty tirade from my mouth) Kingsley became quiet enough for me to finally notice the quiet where usually wild howls emanate.
There, stuffed in his mouth was this …and for love or money I could not get it out of his cakehole. Kingsley, with one hit of highly processed candy, became hooked. For the next 20 minutes' commute from Mall to Financial Centre, he sucked on the sugar so hard that his eyes widened and his pupils dilated. Kingsley got a dose of lollypop derangement; so uncontrollable in the bloody train too!
Rookie mistake – I am never letting my supermarket check out guard down ever again…

Material Does the Impossible: Grows Under Pressure
Image: Jingyuan Qu, Muamer Kadic and Martin Wegener
Squeeze something from all sides and it's supposed to shrink. At least that's what the laws of physics, to say nothing of common sense, tells us. In fact, an object that becomes larger under pressure would seem to violate the very word compression.
But Jingyuan Qu, a researcher at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, has created a model of just such a seemingly impossible object.
It's a cube, filled with tiny, sealed, drum-like hollow spaces. When the pressure—be it air, or water, or some other substance—around the cube increases, the coverings to those hollow spaces warp, like a drumhead. They are connected to levers, and as the coverings warp, the levers rotate, translating the pressure to overall expansion.
"It's not the material volume that expands," says Qu, "but the interface where your unit cell ends. Although the material gets compressed, the overall size gets increased—otherwise it would be impossible from the laws of physics."
The idea—and the geometry—of the cube sprang from work Qu did earlier this year on a similarly counterintuitive object. That one shrank when heated. To do so, it needed bars made of two materials with different thermal expansion properties. The difference between them made the bar bend. "We translated this bending into overall shrinking," says Qu.
Though similar in construction, the negative compression cube uses only one material. That makes it ripe for 3D printing. In the world of 2D printing the use of three colors gives you millions of color choices. With 3D printing, we are more or less stuck with the material properties of the materials we print with. But Qu's metamaterials may change that. By tweaking the unit structure, you will be able to determine an object's response to compression, and—if printing with two materials—its thermal expansion properties as well.
However mind-boggling the concept of negative compression, creating the structure was fairly straight forward, says Qu. "One of the challenges was to get our minds clear as to what is happening here, and why this is not a violation," he says. "But the actual simulations were quite easy to do."
Qu says it's only a matter of months before he has managed to produce an actual object with negative compressibility. Though his lab is focused on smaller scale unit cells that would be used together to created larger objects, the concept is not limited to the micro.
"Everything is scalable," he says. "The only thing that would be some kind of issue is that with a large scale unit it might fall apart of its own weight."
However large the units may be, they will have applications anywhere that an instrument or object needs to remain unaffected by pressure.
"You could maybe come up with something with almost zero effective compressibility—if you had some machines with sensitive parts working in high pressure environments, this would be something you could think of," says Qu. "Maybe in a submarine which goes really deep in the ocean. The submarine gets deformed as a whole, but you want to have certain parts that do not.
"What we gain here is the ability to tailor compressibility." Michael Abrams is an independent writer.
One of the challenges was to get our minds clear as to what is happening here, and why this is not a violation. But the actual simulations were quite easy to do.Prof. Jingyuan Qu, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology

Julkaisun pysyvä osoite on
World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is developing a set of standards for front-end web development since 2014, known as Web Components. The additional functionality addresses many of the problems of an increasingly complex font-end, creating necessity of new modeling tools in this field. Existing efforts in terms of modeling web such as WebML, and more recently Interaction Flow Modeling Language (IFML) are capable of reflecting significant aspects of web development. However, Web Components introduce features that none of the existing initiatives contemplate by default. This work aims to contribute by proposing an extension of IFML that is capable of describing structural aspects of web components standards that include: Shadow DOM, HTML Custom Elements and HTML Templates.

Forward to Writing – Back to DPI Show

Richard challenged me to come up with an approach for a show in Abu Dhabi that would celebrate the UAE's $31billion development of three iconic museums, Sheik Zayed National Museum, the world's largest Guggenheim, and the first Louvre museum outside of France. Saadiyat Island was also to have a Maritime Museum and a Performing Arts Centre.
I found that in the wider region, the GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) had additional plans. Qatar was expanding its National Museum, the National Museum of Oman was to be constructed, Kuwait was rebuilding its National Museum. While the UAE had plans for a Museum of Bedouin Culture in Abu Dhabi and a Dubai Museum of Middle East Modern Art.
Working through Richard's Turrett Middle East Ltd we formulated plans for the Future Museums Congress, a conference and exhibition looking at everything from museum planning, conservation, curation, interpretation, displays, education and museum services.
It was perhaps the most fruitful and interesting launch show in which I had ever been involved. We attracted many iconic museums – the Ashmolean, Natural History Museum and Victoria and Albert Museum in the UK; Universcience from France; the Galleria Borghese from Italy; the Kunsthalle in Vienna, the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts, State Tretyakov Gallery and others from Moscow and the State Hermitage Museum from St Petersburg of Russia; the Smithsonian , the American Museum of Natural History and LIberty Science Center from the USA; Ithra from Saudi Arabia' Suzanne Mubarak Children's Museum of Egypt; Qatar Museums Authority, the National Museum in Afghanistan… We had the Nepalese coming, the guy in charge of the Terracotta Warriors too, the Russians were bringing Fabergé eggs in the hope that locals might be interested in buying them.
I was personally shown around the Guggenheim in Bilbao by the Museum Director, and foresaw many years of such personal experiences deriving from this event.
Sadly, the UAE ran into delays on their three museums and reacted by deciding we should not proceed, presumably fearing an embarrassment.
We fought for the show to have an independent existence which would benefit the UAE, but they would not relent. We had to return deposits and lose all the expenses of the sales and marketing. It was so sad – and finally confirmed my decision to retire!

The Yacht Tara has just set sail for a two year arctic expedition during IPY. Tara is now home to only a handful of people taking the expedition into the ice where they will become frozen in over winter. They are then intending on drifting across the arctic during which time they will carry out a huge range of science including meteorology, nivology (snow density, thickness and water content), glaciology, oceanography, atmospheric and oceanic chemistry, marine biology, zoology and physiological studies of the crew. The UN Environment Programme is provid...

ECO-POLAR conference
Argentina. Ah! Argentina. yes, I'm beginning to understand. It is quite something to meet people so proud of their country, yet sometimes so humble in their opinion of the world elsewhere. This is a great place. And every day that I have been here has held a special treat. Dave and I have been invited here to attend the ECO-POLAR 2006 conference about IPY in Ushuaia. Although I had only one night in Buenos Aires en route, I somehow found myself in a large, packed, concert hall, surrounded by crying, exclaiming, mesmerised fans of Mercedes Sosa. Elderly, and not too stable on her feet, but when she sang, solo, the voice of ten choirs erupted and the soul of the nation filled the air. Her last piece was the nationa...

An `Olympics' for Young Pianists
HERE TO MAKE MUSIC PBS, tomorrow, 9-10:30 p.m. Documentary on the Eighth Van Cliburn International Piano Competition. Hosted by Dudley Moore. Produced by Peter Rosen. BRING a towel to the TV set. Unless you're the unfeeling troglodyte of legend - the one who thinks classical music is only for chess-playing wimps - your palms and forehead will be sweaty through this one.
Here is a behind-the-scenes look at what many call a contradiction in terms - an artistic competition. More specifically, it is one of the most public and widely heralded piano contests of our day, the Eighth Van Cliburn International Piano Competition, held last May 27 to June 12 in Ft. Worth, Texas.
Before the program is over, even a Hun or a Tartar would have a far greater appreciation for the rigor necessary for a successful piano career. ``I think the most important thing about going into classical music is that one must love it more than anything else in the world,'' notes Van Cliburn, ``and to feel that without it his life would be incomplete, so that he must have it at all costs, all expense, for the rest of his life.''
``This [competition] is absolutely removed from the real life of an artist,'' asserts concert pianist Misha Dichter at the show's outset. ``The bullfight, athletic events, the Olympics - that's what [this] is much closer to.''
Besides exploring questions about the meshing of art with sports in conversations with observers, judges, and participants, there is pure drama unfurled here: The characters are the 38 top young pianists from around the world, the setting Texas Christian University. The plot revolves around performances of a wide range of music before live audiences, cameras, and judges. The denouement is the thrill of ``victory,'' the agony of ``defeat''.
Who will win? The reserved Russian? The bombastic Brazilian? The elegant Italian?
The winner - who since has become something of a celebrity - was a 19-year-old Soviet prodigy named Aleksei Sultanov. To succeed, he had to survive a process involving 150 review tapes of applicants in performance, and then the pressure from 37 other contenders.
Since much of the filming took place before winners were announced, viewers share the same sense of anticipation, anxiety, and expectation as pianists. The latter are interviewed in hotel Jacuzzis, piano practice rooms, and automobiles both before and after scheduled events.
From preliminaries to finals, the camera zooms in close on faces and hands, while we hear the young pianists, all exceptionally talented, sharing their thoughts.
There are loads of comments from other famous winners of competitions: Vladimir Ashkenazy, Gary Graffman, Philippe Entremont, Andr'e Michel-Schub - and Cliburn himself, who vaulted to fame by winning the 1958 Tchaikovsky Piano Competition in Moscow.
``I guess the ostensible aim is to win,'' says Emmanuel Ax. ``But really the aim is to be heard, to be noticed, to have some kind of exposure.''
Choosing a winner is not at all a clearly-defined task, adds Ashkenazy. ``We simply cannot predict who and why [a performer] will make a successful career.''
The aim is to find ``true communicators - with something to say and the ability to say it,'' comments John Giordano, chairman of the 14-person international jury which selects the medalist who receives $15,000, a Carnegie Hall recital, and nearly two years of sponsored concerts (about 120 in all).
The journey adds up to great drama, whether or not you know the difference between the theme from ``Rocky 2'' and Rachmaninoff's Second Piano Concerto. If you're a musical illiterate, you'll gain an appreciation for the athleticism behind performance. If you're an aspiring musician, you'll find the program both inspiring and sobering.
There is frustrating element in the early part of the film, similar to watching Victor Borge in concert. Just when you want to hear a contestant finish a passage, the film cuts to interview footage. As the contestants are winnowed down, however, more of the music is heard, culminating in significant passages from the concerto performances of each of the six finalists.

If you're some of those people who believe that they don't need supplement supplementation simply because they don't feel sick right now, then then you better think once again. The fact that you're feeling alright today doesn't mean that you're getting the type of nutrition that the body requirements. More most likely than not really, you perform lack a few essential nutrients and for that reason need to check your diet plan with natural supplements.
This may be the problem with the majority of us. We only begin nutritional supplements whenever we fall sick or begin feeling fragile. You need to realize which reversing harm to your health is a lot more difficult to complete than stopping it, which is much more costly as nicely. So, what else have you been waiting with regard to? Start safeguarding yourselves through illnesses right now.
You might not realize this, but contemporary lifestyles lead much towards the rise associated with nutritional insufficiency incidences. Fast meals and deficiencies in regular exercise have grown to be so much part of our lives that it's quite foolish to consider that you're still getting all of the necessary nutrients within the right amount every day. You might not even keep in mind what the meals pyramid appears like, or should you choose, you might not even be watching its significance and the requirement to follow this.
A limited amount of people are mindful about their intake of food nowadays, and this type of person usually people who absolutely have to watch their own diet. Because of this, it is becoming almost mandatory for all of us to take natural supplements just to make sure optimum wellness. These supplements aren't food substitutes, of program, but simply because we barely get sufficient nutrients from what we should eat, we require supplements to replace with what the diet does not have.
Admittedly, it's very difficult to prevent fast meals entirely. Our agendas just allow it to be almost impossible for all of us to take a seat to an effective lunch. We're also frequently too hectic to physical exercise, so it's no wonder our overall health isn't what it's said to be. Effective supplements should a minimum of improve the health of our all around health.
Exactly how can we take advantage of these dietary supplements? First of, the dietary supplements effectively replace with any nutrients our diet does not have. We want to get each nutritional in particular amounts every day, and because our diet plan usually can't fully tackle this require, the supplements complete the dietary gaps. In addition, health dietary supplements boost our defense mechanisms; thus it will help make the body more proof to illness.
The proven fact that we don't take within enough nutrition from the food is actually bad sufficient, but what's worse is our daily routines also lead to toxins entering the body every day. Nutritional dietary supplements have really powerful antioxidants which help us eliminate these undesirable toxins. Not just that, but these people even assist reverse the unwanted effects that stress has a tendency to have on our overall health.
These are are just some of the benefits that people can get free from health dietary supplements. All in most, these dietary supplements help optimize our overall health and slow up the risk associated with disease. Obviously, you shouldn't take simply any pill that you simply see available on the market. You should research your options and ensure that you choose the supplement that provides you with bang for your buck and do the trick that you anticipate.
