These are just insanely good and great for summer. I really don't think there's a conventional dessert that could be any better tasting than these. I used paper cupcake cups and a cupcake pan ... the paper lined pans seemed to make just about perfect sized tarts. They certainly didn't last long in these parts, although theoretically they can be covered and frozen for up to a week.

A note about the dehydrated bananas ... these need to be just dehydrated enough to take some of the moisture out but not hard. I dehydrated my gently for about 6 hours and that seemed to work out well.


ingredients

• 6 dates ($3.00)
• 1/2 cup walnuts ($.50)
• 1/2 cup finely shredded coconut ($1.00)
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 2 tablespoons agave
• pinch salt
• 2 avocados ($1.49)
• 3 bananas, dehydrated ($.45)
• 4 limes, juice and zest ($2.00)
• 4 tablespoons agave ($.40)

directions

1. Make the crusts first. In a food processor with the "S" blade, process the dates until mush. 
2. Add the coconut, coconut oil, agave, and salt and process until it begins to clump. 
3. Last, add the walnuts and process until the walnuts are fully incorporated and the mixture sticks together.
4. Divide the crust mixture evenly into and press into the bottom and sides of eight paper lined cupcake cups. 
5. Put in the freezer for about a half hour, until firm.
6. For the filling, in the food processor with the "S" blade, process the avocados, bananas, lime juice and zest, and agave. It takes a minute or two, but this will become velvety smooth and the consistency of thick pudding.
7. Spoon the filling into the tart crusts and chill well before serving.

Travelling in Indonesia now since 3 weeks we only had 8 days left with our free visa on arrival. Having seen and experienced so many incredible things in the last weeks basically only 1 thing was missing a super relaxed beach time in a tropical paradies

In Côte d’Ivoire, employees at Fairtrade-certified cocoa cooperatives have higher salaries and better working conditions than those at non-certified organizations. Farm laborers, on the other hand, don’t fare as well.

I love the texture of a cool tasting coconut custard with market fragrant strawberries macerated in well more coconut liqueur.

Nothing like a Pavlova and fresh seasonal fruit. The coconut ice cream provides a refreshing finish.

Love this tasty slice with the combo of coconut and the passion fruit what's there not to like?

In utero exposure to glucocorticoids in animal models influences vascular development. Studies in young adults have shown that exposure to antenatal glucocorticoids alters glucose metabolism, but it is not known whether there are any cardiovascular effects.

Glucocorticoid exposure is associated with a localized increase in aortic arch stiffness, similar in magnitude to term-born individuals a decade older. The change in stiffness does not relate to changes in glucose metabolism that were also evident in this cohort. (Read the full article)

Most studies on corticoid treatment of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) respiratory diseases have revealed no beneficial effect. The mechanism by which RSV respiratory-infected patients are insensitive to the antiinflammatory effect of corticosteroids is unknown.

This study helps to understand how a respiratory syncytial viral infection may alter the normal antiinflammatory response to cortisol and the insensitivity to glucocorticoid treatment. The increase expression of β glucocorticoid receptor could be a marker of disease severity. (Read the full article)

Infants aged <2 months are at highest risk for pertussis morbidity and mortality but are too young to receive pertussis vaccines. To protect young infants, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recommends mothers receive 1 dose of Tdap during pregnancy.

This article evaluates the effect of Tdap during pregnancy compared with postpartum Tdap and cocooning in preventing infant pertussis cases, hospitalizations, and deaths, as well as their relative cost-effectiveness. (Read the full article)

Administration of repeat doses of antenatal glucocorticoids to women at risk for preterm birth after an initial course reduces neonatal morbidity, without affecting rates of neurologic disability in early childhood. However, data on long-term effects on cardiometabolic health are limited.

Exposure to repeat doses of antenatal betamethasone did not increase cardiovascular risk factors at early school age. Clinicians wishing to use repeat antenatal glucocorticoids can be reassured that the risk of future cardiometabolic disease from this therapy is low. (Read the full article)

Kimchi and Pork and in Coconut Milk appeared first on CASA Veneracion

Inspired by the spicy Filipino dish gising-gising, chopped homemade kimchi takes the place of chilies in this kimchi and pork vegetables in coconut milk dish. Just lovely with rice! Alex’s idea. She’d been dreaming of cooking gising-gising for days while, at the same time, experimenting with dishes she can add her homemade kimchi too. She …

Despite the progress in the development of novel treatment modalities, a significant portion of patients with psoriasis remains undertreated relative to the severity of their disease. Recent evidence points to targeting the glucose transporter 1 and sugar metabolism as a novel therapeutic strategy for the treatment of psoriasis and other hyperproliferative skin diseases. In this review, we discuss glycoconjugation, an approach that facilitates the pharmacokinetics of cytotoxic molecules and ensures their preferential influx through glucose transporters. We propose pathways of glycoconjugate synthesis to increase effectiveness, cellular selectivity, and tolerability of widely used antipsoriatic drugs. The presented approach exploiting the heightened glucose requirement of proliferating keratinocytes bears the potential to revolutionize the management of psoriasis.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT

Recent findings concerning the fundamental role of enhanced glucose metabolism and glucose transporter 1 overexpression in the pathogenesis of psoriasis brought to light approaches that proved successful in cancer treatment. Substantial advances in the emerging field of glycoconjugation highlight the rationale for the development of glucose-conjugated antipsoriatic drugs to increase their effectiveness, cellular selectivity, and tolerability. The presented approach offers a novel therapeutic strategy for the treatment of psoriasis and other hyperproliferative skin diseases.

Too many connection drop-outs, too many missed cues: at least phone calls are intimate

This week, a parcel presumed lost arrived. It was from my mum. Inside was a mask she’d sewn; sunflower seeds to plant; an Easter egg and a card: “To my lovely daughter, I miss you so much!” it read. “Absence truly makes the heart grow fonder. But indifference doesn’t. Video call me. Mum xx”

My mum and I are very close. We speak most days and would usually visit weekly; if it were up to her, it would be more. Her dream is to have all her children, our partners and someday grandchildren living under the same roof. One big happy family, bonded by love, loyalty, south Asian melodrama and unsolicited comments about weight.

Even as global demand for all-things-coconut increases, coconut production in Asia is stagnating because farmers aren't paid enough to make it worthwhile.

It's a mutually beneficial arrangement. Lush gets luxurious fair-trade cocoa butter, while farmers earn income in a low-risk way, not threatened by violence.

It's the ultimate zero-waste crop, useful from root to shoot.

The floods that submerged one-fifth of Pakistan's territory took more than six months to recede.

One of the most affected regions was the Sindh region, located in the western corner of South Asia. 

At their peak, the floodwaters were up to 20 feet deep. About 20 million people were displaced.

But apparently, people were not the only ones seeking shelter from the devastating floods. 

One of the unexpected side-effects of the flooding has been that millions of spiders climbed up into the trees to escape the rising floodwaters, turning them into futuristic-looking trees cocooned in spiders' webs.

The people living in that area claimed they have never seen this phenomenon before but were glad to discover that those cocooned trees were actually significantly reducing the numbers of mosquitos and thereby, the risk of malaria. 

It is thought that the mosquitoes were getting caught in the spiders' webs which would be one blessing for the people of the area, facing so many other hardships after the floods. 

Check out some of the stunning photos, released by the department of international development.
