Convective fluid flow and diagenetic patterns in domed sheets.

S. H. Davis, S. Rosenblat, J. R. Wood, T. A. Hewett

Research output: Contribution to journalArticle

37 Scopus citations

Analytical solutions have been obtained for the fluid flow and temperature fields for the case of a folded porous layer embedded in an impermeable medium heated from below and held at a constant temperature above. This corresponds to a layered sequence of rocks in which a permeable sand is bounded above and below by impermeable shales. The present results are limited to gently folded strata (small dip angles) but are quite general with regard to the actual layer geometry. The solutions depend on the fact that the temperature field can be uncoupled from the fluid flow when convection is weak. This results in a purely conductive temperature field which drives the fluid motion through buoyancy effects. It is shown that the dynamics of the system are most strongly influenced by the geometry of the porous layer and the ratio of thermal conductivities of the rocks. -from Authors

Primary prevention of allergic disease through nutritional interventions

Research output: Contribution to journalArticle

195 Scopus citations

With the rising prevalence of atopic disease, primary prevention may play a role in reducing its burden, especially in high-risk infants. With this in mind, the Adverse Reactions to Foods Committee of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology was charged with the task of developing recommendations for primary care physicians and specialists about the primary prevention of allergic disease through nutritional interventions according to current available literature and expert opinion. Recommendations that are supported by data are as follows. Avoidance diets during pregnancy and lactation are not recommended at this time, but more research is necessary for peanut. Exclusive breast-feeding for at least 4 and up to 6 months is endorsed. For high-risk infants who cannot be exclusively breast-fed, hydrolyzed formula appears to offer advantages to prevent allergic disease and cow's milk allergy. Complementary foods can be introduced between 4 and 6 months of age. Because no formal recommendations have been previously provided about how and when to introduce the main allergenic foods (cow's milk, egg, soy, wheat, peanut, tree nuts, fish, shellfish), these are now provided, and reasons to consider allergy consultation for development of a personalized plan for food introduction are also presented.

Reproductive age-associated fibrosis in the stroma of the mammalian ovary

*Corresponding author for this work

Research output: Contribution to journalArticle

52 Scopus citations

Under normal physiological conditions, tissue remodeling in response to injury leads to tissue regeneration without permanent damage. However, if homeostasis between synthesis and degradation of extracellular matrix (ECM) components is altered, fibrosis - or the excess accumulation of ECM - can disrupt tissue architecture and function. Several organs, including the heart, lung and kidney, exhibit age-associated fibrosis. Here we investigated whether fibrosis underlies aging in the ovary - an organ that ages chronologically before other organs. We used Picrosirius Red (PSR), a connective tissue stain specific for collagen I and III fibers, to evaluate ovarian fibrosis. Using bright-field, epifluorescence, confocal and polarized light microscopy, we validated the specific staining of highly ordered PSR-stained fibers in the ovary. We next examined ovarian PSR staining in two mouse strains (CD1 and CB6F1) across an aging continuum and found that PSR staining was minimal in ovaries from reproductively young adult animals, increased in distinct foci in animals of mid-to-advanced reproductive age, and was prominent throughout the stroma of the oldest animals. Consistent with fibrosis, there was a reproductive age-associated increase in ovarian hydroxyproline content. We also observed a unique population of multinucleated macrophage giant cells, which are associated with chronic inflammation, within the ovarian stroma exclusively in reproductively old mice. In fact, several genes central to inflammation had significantly higher levels of expression in ovaries from reproductively old mice relative to young mice. These results establish fibrosis as an early hallmark of the aging ovarian stroma, and this altered microenvironment may contribute to the age-associated decline in gamete quality.

The proline/arginine dipeptide from hexanucleotide repeat expanded C9ORF72 inhibits the proteasome

Rahul Gupta, Matthews Lan, Jelena Mojsilovic-Petrovic, Won Hoon Choi, Nathaniel Safren, Sami Barmada, Min Jae Lee, Robert Kalb*

*Corresponding author for this work

Research output: Contribution to journalArticle

21 Scopus citations

An intronic hexanucleotide repeat expansion (HRE) mutation in the C9ORF72 gene is the most common cause of familial ALS and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and is found in ~7% of individuals with apparently sporadic disease. Several different diamino acid peptides can be generated from the HRE by noncanonical translation (repeat-associated non-ATG translation, or RAN translation), and some of these peptides can be toxic. Here, we studied the effects of two arginine containing RAN translation products [proline/arginine repeated 20 times (PR20) and glycine/arginine repeated 20 times (GR20)] in primary rat spinal cord neuron cultures grown on an astrocyte feeder layer. We find that PR20 kills motor neurons with an LD50 of 2 µM, but in contrast to the effects of other ALS-causing mutant proteins (i.e., SOD or TDP43), PR20 does not evoke the biochemical signature of mitochondrial dysfunction, ER stress, or mTORC down-regulation. PR20 does result in a time-dependent build-up of ubiquitylated substrates, and this is associated with a reduction of flux through both autophagic and proteasomal degradation pathways. GR20, however, does not have these effects. The effects of PR20 on the proteasome are likely to be direct because (1) PR20 physically associates with proteasomes in biochemical assays, and (2) PR20 inhibits the degradation of a ubiquitylated test substrate when presented to purified proteasomes. Application of a proteasomal activator (IU1) blocks the toxic effects of PR20 on motor neuron survival. This work suggests that proteasomal activators have therapeutic potential in individuals with C9ORF72 HRE.

Recognizing the signs of sexual harassment at work

Good-natured teasing is often a normal part of any workplace. However, there is a difference between harmless joking around and unlawful sexual harassment. You might be experiencing some behavior at work that is causing you to wonder if someone is crossing a line. It can help you and other Michigan employees to understand what constitutes sexual harassment, as well as your legal rights.

The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission defines sexual harassment as any type of behavior, language or physical action of a sexual nature at work that is unwanted or unwelcome. You might experience any of the following scenarios at your workplace, which qualify as sexual harassment:

  • Your boss tells you that suggestive comments or physical touching by your customers is just a part of the job and is good for business, and you must accept it as a condition of employment. Furthermore, you might be afraid that speaking up against the behavior will cause your supervisor to demote or fire you.
  • A co-worker makes lewd comments about you or others in front of you, repeatedly asks you out despite being turned down and is a bit "handsy." You might have even noticed him following you during your off hours.
  • Your manager tells jokes that make you feel uncomfortable or creeped out, and keeps sexually suggestive or offensive material in plain view in her office.
  • Subcontractors or associates of your workplace talk openly about offensive topics when visiting your workplace, and your superiors either encourage the behavior or do nothing to stop it.

Sexual harassment can happen to anyone, male or female, in any type of work environment. It is important to know that the law entitles you to a workplace where you do not feel demeaned, embarrassed or threatened, and you have the right to report sexual harassment without fear of the consequences.

Dodd leads, one ahead of Woosnam at Scottish Senior Open

Stephen Dodd continued his incredible run of form to take the first-round lead at Craigielaw Golf Club, host venue of the 2018 Scottish Senior Open, one stroke ahead of 1991 Masters Tournament winner Ian Woosnam.
The Welshman carded a five under par round of 66 and is one shot clear of compatriot Woosnam and England’s David Shacklady, who each signed for rounds of 67.
Dodd, a three-time winner on the Staysure Tour, has finished no lower than sixth place in his last six regular events on the European over-50s circuit, and also finished inside the top 20 at The Senior Open Presented by Rolex at St Andrews in July.
“It was tough out there today,” said Dodd. “The wind died out as the day went on, but it was still difficult. Links courses are always a challenge; the defence of this course is the wind and it’s always going to be tricky when it’s up.
 “I’ve had a really good run recently. It’s probably down to a lot of good coaching with Denis Pugh. I’ve worked with him for a long time and we’ve found something which seems to have been working over the last few months.
“I’ve enjoyed the feeling of knowing that I can be competitive again. My game has been good overall. I’ve driven the ball well and I’m putting well too; playing the run of events that we’ve had has been good. I feel a little tired but it’s nice to know that I can go out and perform.”
Woosnam, Ryder Cup Captain in 2006, arrived in Scotland on the back of a tied tenth place finish at last week’s European Tour Properties Senior Classic in Bulgaria.

The 1991 Masters Tournament winner made the turn two under par and made four further birdies on the back nine including one on the ninth hole, his 18th, which stopped a run of consecutive bogeys on the seventh and eighth holes.
“It wasn’t bad for a first go around here,” admitted the 60 year old. “I didn’t have a practice round because I didn’t feel great yesterday – maybe that’s the way forward.
“It was a pretty cold day and I was quite stiff but I hung in there. This was a day when I just tried to do simple things; that’s how I used to play, keep it simple. I had a nice 20-footer on the last to finish it off after a couple of dropped shots. I gave myself something to hang on to.”
Shacklady battled testing conditions in the afternoon as heavy rains fell on Scotland’s Golf Coast. The 51 year old, who won his first Staysure Tour title at the VTB Russian Open Golf Championship in August carded five birdies on the front nine and came back one over par to sign for a 67.
“It got pretty nasty at the end,” he said. “I started off lovely. I hit shot after shot. I played lovely going out but had a couple of wobbles coming in. We were fortunate coming in that we were with the wind and not against it. It’s a stern test of golf out there.
“I’m feeling a lot more comfortable out there when I see my name up on the leaderboard, and I want to carry that on.”
Scotland's Gary Orr is fourth on three under par, while Magnus P Atlevi and Barry Lane share fifth place on two under par. Ryder Cup players Eamonn Darcy and David Gilford are tied for seventh place alongside Markus Brier, Gary Marks and Mark Mouland on one under par.

What’s the difference between having fun today and from decades ago?

What’s the difference between having fun today and from decades ago?

Well, we found one thing that remains constant

There is something intriguing and alluring about the past, especially the ’70s and ’80s.

The era when everything was vibrant and dramatic was exactly the time when our parents and titos and titas were at the peak of their youth. They were working boys and girls of Makati, getting that dough with big hair and shoulder pads. And every night, they would go out and party like Annie Batungbakal, disco lights hitting their bell bottoms and graphic button-downs.

Today, Makati remains the burgeoning business district. But disco, which Annie frequented in the popular song, is not what comes to mind when we say party. Heck, disco is now a word associated to ‘80s-themed parties, right? Jeproks used to refer to cool, but will we ever hear kids these days use that word?

You see, each generation molds its own culture. Take a look at how different two generations are:

Dance, dance, dance!

What’s a party without dancing? The ’70s and ’80s were famous for their animated nightlife. I mean, don’t we all go crazy when the DJ plays The Human League’s “Don’t You Want Me Baby?” Thematic parties today even hark back to that era. That time saw classic old-school moves on the dancefloor. Parties now play EDM and hip-hop, which call for different moves. As we see in the video, dance moves have evolved into something more current—think hip-hop, pop and locks.

A new dating landscape

Back in the day, there’s no other way to admit your admiration to a crush other than confessing it personally. Okay, maybe confessing through secret letters or allowing mutuals to serve as the bridge. Still, it all leads up to the necessary moment of going up to them and making a confession. That’s dyahe.

Today, there are more venues to admit one’s feelings. Thanks largely to the internet, we now find a springboard for love through dating apps and social media. Still, we have never been able to leave that feeling of dyahe behind. That’s because nothing has really changed. While you can find a date online or verify your crush’s status through social media or get to know so much about your match, you still have to take the conversation offline.

You look fire!

Generations have their way with words, and this is most apparent when we talk about clothes. A good ensemble back then was acknowledged with japorms. Look at old films and photos. We’d see them wear bell bottoms or high-waist washed denim matched with a flashy button-down or a tight shirt. Girls liked their hair real big, as if they’re full of secrets. Boys liked long hair with bangs, which is making a comeback actually.

Now, clothes are acknowledged with a fire emoji or the word “lit.” Although clothes from the past decades have found their way to our closets, our generation’s choice of clothing is along the border of normcore and streetwear. If this article were written years ago, it would have been easy to call what’s in style today as swag. But that’s kind of a dated word already. Let’s just settle with “fire.”

Truly, a lot of things have changed and evolved in just a matter of years. But if there is one thing that remains the same, it’s the value we give to camaraderie and lasting friendships. San Miguel Pale Pilsen, the 129-year old iconic and classic Filipino beer, has been part of these unforgettable friendships through the years, and wants to continue to be part of new friendships and memorable experiences with the barkada.

San Miguel Pale Pilsen brings two generations together with its Side by Side Campaign, reinforcing the message that no matter the generation, the essence of samahan remains the same. Kahit Kailan, Walang Iwanan.

How You Can Keep Scrum Positive

When practicing the guitar, there have been times when I got very demotivated and frustrated until I found out I was focusing on my mistakes instead of enjoying all the good licks I was producing on my guitar as well. I learned that focusing on the good things I play makes practicing the guitar much more enjoyable.

Male vs Man

Availability: In stock

Males look to be served. Men look to be of service. Emmy Award–nominated actor best known for his role on Queen Sugar and transformational speaker Dondré Whitfield challenges us to be real men in this provocative look at the power found in serving others.

Too many males abuse the power they have.

Often those males grow up without healthy role models and so, while they look like men, they act like boys. Only now there are adult consequences to their actions.

And many of us are caught in the shifting cultural ideas about manhood, unsure of how to make sound decisions or truly be a man. Every day we find evidence that the role of men at home, at work, and out in the world is deeply misinterpreted.

In Male vs. Man, Dondré Whitfield equips us to become men rather than simply "grown males." Men are healthy and productive servant-leaders who bring positive change to their communities. Males are self-serving and stuck in negative cycles that we hear and read about daily. They create chaos instead of cultivating calm.

Male vs. Man is an uplifting playbook for men who want to level up. It will help men and women alike understand what real manhood is, based on biblical wisdom as well as hard-earned lessons from someone who has been there. With practical guidance and a strong spiritual foundation, Dondré shows how to cultivate the life-changing spiritual, emotional, and psychological attributes of servant leadership at home, at work, and in our communities.

New Jersey's 10th Legislative District

District 10

Holzapfel, McGuckin & Catalano to Democrats: ‘Stop Wasting Time On Changing Our Nation’s History’

Please Share:

Bookmark and Share

The 10th District Legislators are responding to a recent bill by the Democrats to rename Columbus Day.  Senator Jim Holzapfel and Assemblymen Greg McGuckin and John Catalano have released the following statement on what they believe is a waste of legislative time and energy in an attempt to create news headlines.

Senator Holzapfel and Assemblymen McGuckin and Catalano today criticized a recent bill by the Democrats to rename Columbus Day as a waste of legislative time and energy in an attempt to create news headlines. (Wikiemedia Commons)

“Our state has suffered through one of the most challenging times in recent history. We have had a complete shutdown of our economy and we are in the rebuilding process with many more hurdles to still overcome. Yet, somehow, Trenton Democrats believe now is the appropriate time to rename holidays in an attempt to change our nation’s history.

“We must use our time in Trenton wisely and help the people of New Jersey recover from the shutdown. Take a look at the Democrats refusal to investigate the deaths of thousands of senior citizens in nursing homes because of Murphy’s policies. Do Democrats realize we still have small businesses that are on the brink of closing and restaurants that are barely making ends meet with only 25 percent indoor capacity?  We need to immediately go to 50 percent capacity with the goal to reopen completely as the colder weather approaches. Instead their focus remains on erasing our nation’s history.

“To Trenton Democrats, it’s all about attention grabbing headlines. Our delegation will always put our constituents first and focus on solving the real problems in this state and not be easily persuaded by what’s trending on Twitter.”

Train delays between China and Europe.

Longer waiting times for departures

Currently, there are delays in departures on the train route between China and Europe. The delays lay between 3-5 days and 6-8 days.  The main reason for this is a lack of wagons, the allocation is handled by China Railway. The problem exists for all relevant departure points.

Please take into account the longer waiting times for departures for the upcoming weeks.

Six artists answer: What did SECA Award mean to you?

John Bankston (SECA Award, 2002)

“We are very lucky to have institutions in the Bay Area that nurture artists working here. SECA does that. The SECA Award is a fantastic honor. The award opened a door for me to be part of the artist community in San Francisco and part of the rich history of SFMOMA. I feel SFMOMA is interested in my growth as an artist, as well as in strengthening artists working here. I am in a number of museum collections around the country, and SFMOMA certainly stands out in its commitment to artists.”

Kota Ezawa (SECA Award, 2006)

“When I received the award, I was already 37 years old. In comparison I was one of the more seasoned awardees, with a gallery solo show in New York under my belt and several museum group shows internationally. It was still a big deal. More than the award itself or the prize money, it felt great to be recognized by the premier art institution of the town where I live.

“I’m not sure that the award had any direct impact on my career. A lot of people in the San Francisco art world had already encountered my work four years earlier when I participated in “Bay Area Now 3” at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. The lasting effect of this exhibition was that it established a relationship with the curators and staff at SFMOMA and to the other artists in the show.”

Colter Jacobsen (SECA Award, 2010)

“I felt very lucky to receive the award and especially to be grouped with other artists I admired. I was glad that our 2010 SECA show was reserved and quiet. Those were different times! I was very pleased with the curation by Apsara DiQuinzio and Tanya Zimbardo.

“The lead-up to the award was a bit awkward. The Bay Area is still a relatively small art community where most artists know or know of other artists, so it’s strange to be in the running, so to speak, with your peers (and peers that you greatly respect!).

“I was happy, of course, to be exposed to a larger audience. I met a lot of people, some of whom were collectors who have supported my work over the years. To witness so many people enjoying my work was very different than, say, having a small show at a neighborhood bookstore. Both have their place and power, of course.

“What the award meant to me then, at a young age, was that it made museums less intimidating.

“I really like what the poet Ocean Vuong says about awards: “Get on, then get off at your stop and find your people. Don’t live on the bus, and most importantly, don’t get trapped on it.”

Barry McGee (SECA Award, 1996)

“The SECA Award! It was such a long time ago. ... I’m afraid the only documentation I have are dusty slides somewhere. It’s a great program, albeit a bit slow to actually encourage contemporary artists to be shown at the SFMOMA. ... Many of the artists picked for SECA started in S.F., (were) never acknowledged, then are discovered in New York only to be given the SECA in hindsight.

“I’m not sure if they still do this, but they used to have recommendation forms for artists you would like to suggest for the SECA. I remember putting (2017 winner) Alicia McCarthy on that form way back in 1998, which tells me something!”

Rigo 23 (formerly Rigo 98) (SECA Award, 1998)

Rigo 23 with the original design for the mural in his San Francisco studio.  The work was originally intended to be ceramic tile for the lobby of a new hospital being built by UCSF.

“Receiving the SECA Award was, literally, encouraging for me at the time. Though my relationship with SFMOMA was not a naive one — by 1998, Clarion Alley Mural Project had been going on for six years, dedicating itself to showcasing local artists’ work outdoors. Many of them would later also receive SECA Awards. Earlier that same year, I had finished ‘Sky/Ground’ just across the street, and in 1994 ‘InnerCity Home,’ which was dedicated at the same time SFMOMA’s then-new building opened. So a discussion around the forces of gentrification and the role of mainstream art institutions in relationship to real estate speculation were concerns already present in my community and in my work.

“The invitation to exhibit at SFMOMA allowed me an incredible opportunity to articulate some of these concerns from the heart of the new St. Frank, which was then taking its first steps. It also exposed me, firsthand, to an intense level of professionalism, care and rigor from which one never stops learning.

“I guess, reflecting now, it reassured me that it was possible to exist in multiple worlds as a working artist. Granted, historically, that might be easier for someone who looks like me — but I’ve never been driven by a desire to surround myself with sameness.”

Leslie Shows (SECA Award, 2006)

“It was great to be recognized for what I was doing, after starting out in S.F. as an undergrad at SFAI [the San Francisco Art Institute], learning about artists like Jess, Bruce Conner and Jay DeFeo, going to shows at SFMOMA, and then later showing my work there. It was such a dream. Career moves were not my main motivator, and I didn’t know about SECA before I was nominated for it in 2006, but once that process started, it made a lot of other opportunities possible. I really loved working with Janet Bishop, she is so supportive of artists.

“Later SFMOMA put the piece they bought from the SECA show in their anniversary show (2009), in a room with a lot of other S.F. artists from the late ’90s and early 2000s. It was nice to be included in the narrative of that time period, because I always felt like I was out in the wilderness making my own world most of the time, but I saw a shared rough quality in everyone’s work, a sensibility of using whatever was around, and it was interesting to see that time through an institutional lens.

“As part of SECA’s public programs, I invited one of my favorite writers and philosophers, Manuel DeLanda, to speak there, which was really thrilling. I participated in a lot of different events at SFMOMA, and it’s great how much they enfold local artists into their programming. I feel really proud to be part it.

“Right now I’m working on a large permanent artwork for the new subway station underneath Moscone Center, right near SFMOMA. It’s through the San Francisco Arts Commission, but getting the SECA Award 100 percent helped pave the way for it. I spent 19 years in San Francisco, and maybe because I’ve relocated to L.A., it’s so important to me that I have work in the museum’s collection and feel connected to its history and to the city.”

Can I Get a DWI in Texas If I Sleep in My Car?

After a night of heavy drinking, many people choose to sleep in their parked cars as an alternative to driving home, hoping to wake up refreshed and ready to drive after a brief snooze. Unfortunately, there are just as many situations when a police officer notices a sleeping motorist, conducts an investigation, recognizes the smell of alcohol, and proceeds to arrest the individual for committing a DWI.

Can I Get a DWI in a Parked Car?

In many states throughout the U.S., including Texas, if you are under the influence and in a parked vehicle, you may still be charged with a DWI. In Texas, an individual commits a DWI when he or she is operating a motor vehicle in a public place while intoxicated.

State law contains definitions for being “intoxicated” and what is a “motor vehicle.” However, doesn't specifically define the word “operating”, leaving it up to the courts to provide a definition. Texas courts have deciphered “operating” in a broad sense regarding drunk driving charges

Essentially, when determining whether there is enough evidence to obtain a DWI conviction, courts will determine a driver “operating” a vehicle when, based on certain circumstances, he or she did something to “affect the functioning of the vehicle in a way that would enable the vehicle’s use.”

Actions to Avoid

Although we do not advise you to snooze off your booze in your parked vehicle, there are several things that everyone should be aware of before getting in a car, or even thinking about driving it. In the eyes of the judge or jury, there are a variety of behaviors which could make it appear like operating a vehicle.

Common examples include:

  • Sleeping in the driver’s seat
  • Sleeping with your seatbelt on
  • Sleeping in your car with the keys
  • Sleeping in your car with the engine running
  • Sleeping in your car with the radio on

Based on the circumstances mentioned above, the jury or judge could conclude that the driver had committed an action that affected the functioning of the car, and was operating the car prior to dozing off. So when deciding if a driver was “operating” a vehicle at the time of the arrest, even minor details can make all the difference.

The following are several precautions to take if happen to fall asleep in your parked car:

  • Sleep in the back seat
  • Recline the seat
  • Turn off the engine and the lights
  • Leave your keys out of the of the ignition
  • Park your car in a legal spot
  • Place your eyes in the trunk or outside the vehicle

Ultimately, the best decision is to request a ride from a ride-sharing service (e.g. Uber, Lyft) or contact a designated driver to take your home. Do not even risk facing the possibility

Happy Birthday, Israel!

May 15, 2018

It was a great day long ago when King Cyrus of Persia allowed the Jewish people to return home after 70 years of exile in Babylon.  It was another great day today (May 14) celebrating the 70th anniversary of the modern nation of Israel.

I enjoyed watching the opening of the American Embassy in Jerusalem.  I applaud President Trump for his friendship with Israel, and for his recognition of the capital city that God designated for His Chosen People in the time of King David.

God told Abraham that His descendants would be a nation, and that He would bless those who bless them, and curse those who dishonour them.  I believe that America will be blessed for standing with Israel.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!  May they be secure who love you!  Peace be within your walls and security within your towers!  (Psalm 122:6-7)

Happy Birthday, Israel!

Today’s Good News is that Israel is celebrating its 70th Birthday!

I am really passionate about sharing building a strong sense of value in our children. I want them to be confident in who they are and be proud of what makes them special.

What type of leadership style do you have?
I believe I lead with my heart first and foremost. I also believe that collaboration is key. I love to ask feedback and seek ideas from the team and parents when making decisions.

The Team! Our team of Educators here at The Cottage are one in a million! We share such joy through out our days and I value each and everyone of them.

What are your goals for the service over the next 12 months?

Filipino Fashion Brands Pay-It-Forward In The Time of COVID-19

Filipino Fashion Brands Pay-It-Forward In The Time of COVID-19

In this moment of darkness and uncertainty, we want to bring a few stories of hope from the homeland.

On March 16th, 2020 the Philippine government placed the entire island of Luzon under an “enhanced community quarantine” to slow down the spread of COVID-19. The measures enforced have restricted movement, not just across provincial borders, but even within city lines. Millions of Filipinos have been confined to their homes.

In many ways, the Philippines under lockdown looks like the rest of the world. People’s daily lives have migrated online: school, work, and shopping. Roads that used to be congested with vehicles are eerily empty. Malls have been closed; only establishments offering basic necessities—groceries, pharmacies, bank offices—remain open.

There are also ways in which lockdown in the Philippines has been much more intense. Curfews and military checkpoints dictate when people go out for groceries and who gets to go. Each household is typically issued only one “quarantine pass” to present at checkpoints.

In short, business is obviously not as usual. Million-Peso conglomerates and small enterprises alike, across all industries, have had to pivot. The face of fashion, especially, has changed significantly in less than a month.

With malls and stores closed, sales have migrated online. With local deliveries limited to “essential goods” (foodstuffs, medical supplies, and relief goods), brand-owners have put their creativity to work and redirected their production. With garment workers stuck at home, companies have shifted to a decentralized supply chain.

When we first heard the news of a lockdown in the Philippines, our primary concern was for our partners and artisans. We’ve been keeping in touch and tuning into updates. And, as the situation has unfolded, we’ve found a lot to be hopeful for.

To what could be called the most challenging of times, the Filipino fashion industry has responded with the best of its creativity, resilience, and compassion. This is how our friends and partners in the Filipino fashion industry have pivoted in response to COVID-19:

Rags2Riches “makes things that matter and weaves joy into every story”. They’ve remained faithful to this mission. With their latest collection, Rags2Riches is determined as ever to bring a little light into the world.

On April 6th, Rags2Riches launched Sol, their Summer 2020 Collection, through an Instagram Live with Co-founder & President Reese Fernandez-Ruiz. Each bag and garment from Sol is creatively designed to be worn multiple ways—further proof of their commitment to style and sustainability.

Sol is currently only available for pre-order until quarantine measures are lifted in Luzon. These pre-orders provide continued livelihood for their partner artisans during the lockdown. Profit from the collection has also been donated to frontliners in the form of cash and PPEs. So far, they’ve sent their first batch of donations to Rock Ed Philippines’ Frontline Feeders initiative, providing 148 meals for frontliners!

Even from home, it’s been a busy month for the Rags2Riches production team. Their partner sewers from Payatas, Quezon City have kept their hands at work by making reusable face masks and filters.

Since the beginning of enhanced community quarantine, they’ve made 5,068 reusable masks from the safety of their home! This means protection for non-medical frontliners and that surgical masks go to those most at risk: health workers.

Rags2Riches Face MasksRags2Riches Face Masks are now available on Cambio & Co.

Thanks to a community of advocates, sheer grit, and creativity, these initiatives have sustained Rags2Riches’ cash flow. Their entire team of employees and workshop artisans have received their salaries despite the lockdown!

En Route Handcrafted Accessories

En Route Handcrafted Accessories empowers women in Davao to become artisan-entrepreneurs through sustainable fashion. Their upcycled bracelets and necklaces give a new life to secondhand t-shirts sourced from local thrift shops.

En Route has been using their platforms for updates about the artisans they work with and to round up support for COVID-19 relief efforts in Mindanao.

One of the initiatives they’re actively promoting is Kapit Mindanao, a fundraising campaign to support 20 youth-led organizations all across the region. This collective effort funds programs to provide PPEs to frontliners, grocery packs to daily wage earners and indigent communities, cooked food for the homeless and lowest income families, even sanitation tents for relief workers.

The artisans who work with En Route Handcrafted have been on both the receiving and giving end of aid. Ate Rose, an artisan, used her crafting skills and free time to make face shields for healthcare workers in her local community!

Gold filigree jewelry by AMAMI, handcrafted and designed in the Philippines. The stuff of our daydreams.

AMAMI is more than a jewelry brand—they’re a social enterprise reviving an age-old artform that’s survived since pre-colonial times. They employ a pool of artisans, called “plateros” (or silversmiths), from Ilocos Sur who’ve trained to perfect their craft of Philippine gold filigree.

First order of business for AMAMI when the enhanced community quarantine began was to ensure artisans were healthy and safe. Next, was to offer them security to ease their anxiety through such uncertain times. AMAMI offered cash advances to the artisans and opportunities to continue crafting their jewelry from the safety of their home.

AMAMI is also extending help beyond their circle. For every purchase that was made until April 30, AMAMI was donating 10% to help raise funds for medical supplies and relief efforts. They’re also consolidating pledges—in cash or in kind—to their initiative of your choice.

To date, they’ve distributed cash assistance to daily wage workers (like jeepney and tricycle drivers) as well as delivered cooked meals and PPEs to healthcare workers.

Follow AMAMI’s Instagram for more information and regular updates!

Island Girl

Island Girl boasts the beauty of the Philippine islands in its skillfully made accessories. They’ve tapped the local artisans of Cebu to do what they do best: transform dazzling capiz shells plucked from sea or weave sturdy rattan harvested from the forest.

Their production has also been affected. Because this lockdown restricts the movement of “nonessential goods”, Island Girl can’t deliver materials to most of its artisans. Only those who can source their own materials have been able to continue crafting from home. This includes Island Girl’s sewers who’ve dedicated their services to producing personal protective equipment for hospitals in their community.

Even as they’ve closed their physical stores, they’ve pushed forward, focusing on online sales. Like our partners, previously mentioned, this determination stems from a commitment to the secure livelihood of their network of artisans.

As part of the larger community of Cebu, Island Girl is donating 50% of their profit from regular-priced items to raise funds for local relief.

Courage Cebu, their chosen fundraising campaign, is working to fund test kits for major hospitals, PPEs, food, vitamins, and other essentials for the infected and medical frontliners. They provide a detailed breakdown of budget allocation on their GoGetFunding page.

Cambio & Co

It’s been inspiring to see the work of our friends in the Philippines. As their primary partner in North America, we’ve tried to strategize ways to provide much needed financial resources.

As soon as the lockdown of Luzon was announced, we reached out to our partners to see how we could support them through this crisis. We were even able to place and receive a last-minute order with our partner AMAMI before domestic shipping was suspended in the Philippines.

In addition, we’ve pledged 5% of purchases made on our website since the start of enhanced community quarantine to Project PEARLS. Every day, they’ve been feeding and distributing groceries to hundreds of families in the Philippines’ lowest income communities.

Seeing as the Filipino fashion industry has focused their efforts on creating PPEs for Filipino frontliners, we wanted to distribute our efforts to another segment of the population hit hard by COVID-19: those living below the poverty line.

Lastly, we wanted to further involve you—our community. We launched the #WearYourHeritageAtHome campaign to boost visibility for Filipino fashion brands and foster solidarity. Though we’re apart, we are not alone.

In a time when we’re all apart and facing a lot of darkness, we’ve found strength in community.

How can you help?

Everyone’s affected by this pandemic, some disproportionately so. Big or small, there’s always something you can do to help those around you.

It costs nothing but emotional energy to remain kind and empathetic during these challenging times. Neighbours have checked in on my family every so often to see if they could get us anything during their grocery run. Our co-founders, Gelaine and Jérôme, cheer for health workers from their balcony!

Spread the word—and the love. Your kind words and support on Cambio & Co.’s socials do a lot to brighten our day. Post about the brands you’re supporting and the one’s which may need some extra help. Share their content! Likes and comments on small businesses’ social media channels help, too.

After all, behind the screens, we’re all just people who would appreciate the encouragement and solidarity at this time.

If you’re in the position to help financially, please do so. Donate to NGOs and initiatives that are helping frontliners and aiding vulnerable communities. Shop at small businesses. Buy gift cards to support brands you love.

There are so many more in the Filipino fashion industry who’re paying it forward in the time of COVID-19. You should check them out:

  • AKABA launched their own fundraiser, AmbagPH, to donate personal protective equipment produced by Mindanao’s indigenous communities.
  • ANTHILL created two new products: a Zero-Waste Reusable Face Mask and the Bayanihan Bucket (a self-care kit for the benefit of displaced workers and their families).
  • Fashion for Frontliners is a collective of Filipino fashion designers who’re using their resources to create protective full-body suits for medical workers.
  • The Manila Protective Gear Sewing Club is a group of fashion industry volunteers producing personal protective equipment. They consult doctors and infectious disease specialists on their designs; their suits are distributed through the Office of the Vice President; and their open-source tech packs are online so more people can help!
  • TELA Story is raising funds to produce personal protective equipment for frontliners in the Philippines—100% of donations goes to paying the seamstresses a living wage.
