on the challenge as their graduation project they used scrap wood from Owase Hinoki that is produced during the manufacturing of pillars “We can create demand for domestic lumber by making effective use of resources to manufacture valuable products,” said Prof “Even wood can maintain sufficient strength if it is properly used.” The center began to hold free test-ride events every weekend Staff drive the vehicle around the center’s premises “The smell of the wood and the soft touch are comforting.” “The reddish grain unique to Owase Hinoki is beautiful Just looking at it is fun,” said Hideo Miyamoto “I want people to see the potential of the cypress lumber,” he said The center has already registered the vehicle as a type of scooter the center is considering renting it out for local events The cypress vehicle will be on display until Aug Test-ride events have been suspended due to the spread of the novel coronavirus The Japanese cypress grown in dense forests on steep mountains

have now completed five separation surgeries since 2006 director of paediatric neurosurgery at Soroka Medical Center Dr Owase Jeelani said: “I am delighted that the surgery has gone well and the girls their family and the local team have had a good outcome “It is through this process of teamwork and knowledge-sharing globally that we can hope to improve the outcome for all children and families that find themselves in this difficult position.” added: “It’s exciting that we have now helped three families from different countries with this lifechanging surgery.” Mr Rahman said the prevalence of conjoined twins is higher in less developed communities where there is little foetal monitoring which is where charities like Gemini Untwined can assist He said: “Gemini seeks to provide not only research and technical support to the local medical teams but also financial support to facilitate the complex surgery and post-operative rehabilitation where needed “We are presently supporting other families that find themselves in this challenging situation.” It is estimated fifty such sets of craniopagus conjoined twins it is thought only 15 survive beyond the first 30 days of life which the
