Yesterday I shared the section from The Moscow Agreed Statement (1976) of the Anglican-Orthodox Joint Doctrinal Commission dealing with the Eucharist. Today's post is a significant couple of paragraphs from that same dialogue, this time from the Dublin Agreed Statement of 1984.
Trinitarian doctrine presupposes participation in the grace of the Holy Trinity. The doctrine One God in Trinity is not an abstract philosophical formula. It originates in the personal and corporate experience of the grace of the Triune God which has been and is communicated to us in Jesus Christ. This experience is not to be understood in a merely subjective way. It is rooted in the historic fact of the incarnation and God's revelation of himself in Christ. Doctrine is the attempt to express this revelation in such a way as both to safeguard it from misunderstanding and to enable others to share in it. The formulation of doctrine, which is based on the Scriptures and on a tradition of careful theological reflection, should in no way be seen as an independent intellectual exercise. Ultimately, as St Gregory the Theologian (of Nazianzus) says, 'It is impossible to express God and yet more impossible to conceive him' (Theological Orations II, 4). Thus doctrinal formulae should in no way detract from the mystery of God which is handed down in the Church from the apostles by the Fathers. It is not the doctrine of the Trinity but the One God in Trinity, the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit, that constitutes the object of Christian worship and faith. Although we may sometimes speak separately of God the Father, sometimes of God the Son and sometimes of God the Holy Spirit, it is always understood that there is no division of one person from another, but all and each reveal in unity the grace and glory of the one Godhead.
Christians participate in the grace of the Holy Trinity as members of the Christian community. It is the Church which is filled by the Holy Spirit and it is precisely for this reason that every human person has the possibility of becoming a partaker of the divine nature (2 Peter 1.4). The Holy Spirit praying in us heals and renews us at the centre of our being, that is to say in our hearts. The healing character of the grace of the Holy Trinity in the life of the individual believer and of the Church has important implications for the whole life of contemporary society.


The 108 airports in Missouri contributed $11 billion to Missouri's economy, with $3.1 billion of that coming from 100,621 jobs, according to a study released by the Missouri Department of Transportation.
The study looked at direct impact money, which includes the salaries of airport workers, ticket revenue and contractors hired for construction. In addition to the direct impact, there is indirect impact money that includes hotel room and rental car sales.
MoDOT Aviation Operations Manager Bryan Gregory says the main reason for the growth in the past year is related to commercial airports.
Columbia Public Works spokesperson Steven Sapp says that Columbia Regional Airport contributes $87 million to the local economy. The airport employs 745 workers with a payroll around $27 million. Sapp says stability in the airports flight provider helps keep planes relatively full.
In addition to employment and airline stability, Sapp says that construction contracted out to local businesses contributes to the local economy. Columbia Regional Airport is also bringing in a second daily non-stop flight to Chicago in April 2014, which Sapp says will increase the airport capacity to 200 passengers, both in and out bound, per day.


David originally came to Dr. Nguyen due to pain in his jaw. Dr. Nguyen fit him in right away and handled his pain.
"I was having severe mouth pain and my current dentist couldn't fit me in at a reasonable time. My wife found Dr. Nguyen online who promptly scheduled me for an appointment. Dr. Nguyen quickly diagnosed the issue deciding that a root canal was needed. She fixed the problems quickly and affordably.
"What I really like about Dr. Nguyen is the explanation she gives about the computerized x-rays in her office so that the patient can see the issue with her. Dr. Nguyen also gives you individual attention, not several patients scheduled at one time causing waiting room delays and divided attention between patients, like at the other dentist's offices.
Carolina first came to Dr. Nguyen because she needed cosmetic dental work done. Dr. Nguyen was able to give her an immediate appointment and take care of her esthetic dental needs.
"I was investigating dental practices and was very impressed by the prompt and friendly service I received when I called Dr. Nguyen's office. I was able to schedule an appointment at my convenience and when I came in for my first visit I found a friendly staff that treated me in a caring manner.
"I have since been going to Dr. Nguyen for seven years and could not be happier with the service I have received, which has led to my current overall better dental and oral health. Dr. Nguyen and her staff know that having dental work done is not always pleasant and they work hard to ensure that you are comfortable.
Jeannie needed a dentist who was caring and gentle. She had some cavities that needed filling and found Dr. Nguyen on the internet.
"I needed dental work done, but hadn't been to a dentist is a while because of a previous dentist who really hurt me. Dr. Nguyen was very friendly and did great work. I had a crown or two done and I was very pleased with the results.
Faith's first experience with Dr. Nguyen involved TLC and the repair of five broken teeth.
"They were so nice to me from the start. I had fallen on my face, broke five teeth and was feeling very scared. They were quite friendly and accommodating and saw me at literally a minute's notice.
Terry came to Dr. Nguyen for help in saving and enhancing her smile.
"I needed a dentist who would understand my needs and a friend of mine recommended Dr. Nguyen. My friend said she was an awesome dentist and that she was very caring and puts passion into her dental work.
"And I needed a lot of dental work done. We are talking cleaning, multiple cavities, root canals, crowns and cosmetic dentistry. I have very sensitive teeth so going to the dentist was not a happy place for me, until I met Dr. Nguyen. She has a way of turning a dental procedure into something great to look forward to.
"On the day of my first procedure, I felt no pressure. I wasn't rushed and everyone on staff was very nice and reassuring. Dr. Nguyen herself was very caring and patient. It was as if her office dedicated my two hour appointment only to me. Since then I have looked forward to my appointments because they are so enjoyable.
"I love my new smile. And I thank Dr. Nguyen for her perfectionism. Her work is fantastic both medically and cosmetically. She doesn't stop until your smile is flawless. She cares about your comfort and reassures you if you're scared. She's awesome both personally and professionally. She truly cares about my smile and my satisfaction.
"Some of my teeth were rotten and uneven. I was recommended to Dr. Nguyen by a co-worker. I found her to be friendly, happy and accommodating and she made me feel comfortable with her dental work. She was exceptionally careful to make sure my dentures fit right and would last.
"I have been coming to Dr. Nguyen since 2006 because of the professional service I have received. It is a very comfortable office and all the staff make you feel welcome. They are very accommodating at getting you in as soon as possible, especially for emergencies.
"I had many injuries to my teeth over the past 66 years and really needed a competent dentist to deal with the multiple dental problems. I've had the good luck to be a patient of Dr. Nguyen for many years now.
"I have a sincere feeling of confidence in Dr. Nguyen and her excellent staff. All the many procedures I have been through with Dr. Nguyen have been successful. I have been to many dentists before and have never been as impressed as with Dr. Nguyen.
"I have been a patient for the past six or seven years. I originally came to Dr. Nguyen because I was looking for a dentist that could care for my teeth. Dr. Nguyen helped save my teeth over the years by doing the necessary root canals and fillings that were needed, along with the deep cleanings.
"Dr. Nguyen is so caring. She has a caring spirit and is always smiling at you. She laughs with you and she always has a listening ear no matter how long you talk with her. I know she really cares about my teeth.
"Dr. Nguyen has been a great dentist to me since I decided to have dentures due to the condition of my teeth. She was very friendly along with her staff and very honest. She did everything to make me comfortable during the procedure and gave me the assurance that I will be able to use my denture and function normally.
"I was so happy to find a family-oriented dental practice that was more interested in my dental health than what was in my pocket-book. Dr. Nguyen's primary concern is your dental health, and she will work with you with creative solutions to financing so everyone can afford good dental care.
"Dr. Nguyen is the best dentist I've had in many years. Given my age (70) I'm particularly concerned about keeping all of my teeth and avoiding nasty surprises such as breaks. Dr. Nguyen's best characteristics are in attention to detail, meticulous work and sincere interest in doing work that pleases me.
"I really enjoy my treatments with Dr. Nguyen. She takes the time to make sure I am comfortable and not in pain during the treatments. She and her staff are well organized and highly professional, using "state-of-the-art" technology and techniques. I feel extremely confident in her training and practical application of it; which I have seen on every visit.
"I was uncomfortable smiling and laughing before I underwent her dental care and now I feel good about myself when I'm smiling and laughing. I really love how my teeth look now after Dr. Nguyen's work. She is always cheerful and positive. She is kind, pleasant, friendly, and professional.
"I was scared about whole procedure. Dr. Nguyen seemed very confident on what the outcome would be, which made me feel better. The procedure that she did for me was great and I was very satisfied with her work.
"I was nervous about going to the dentist. I called a few places and none of the people seemed friendly enough for me to be a patient. Dr. Nguyen and her staff assured me I was in good hands and answered all of my questions upfront.
"Another thing, I was able to call her office after hours and get a hold of her to tell her my teeth hurt and she said to come right away the next morning and I was taken care of.

Eyecatcher · Reviews
Stray Bullets: Killers #1 – A Triumphant Return for David Lapham's Masterpiece of Crime Comics
by Tom Murphy
Nearly two decades after the landmark series appeared, David Lapham's Stray Bullets has lost none of its brutal, heartbreaking power.
A quick look at the new titles that hit the stands in 1995 reveals a panoply of goodies, ranging from Amazing X-Men to Astonishing X-Men, and from X-Caliber to Gambit and the X-Ternals. And that was just Marvel! Strangely, around that time I found myself devoting more of my comics energy to the UK small press scene…
Anyway, luckily for us, writer/artist David Lapham and his wife Maria were sitting down at their kitchen table and hatching El Capitan Books, a self-publishing vehicle for a black-and-white crime comic entitled Stray Bullets.
By taking the risky step of leaving the protective custody of Big Publishing to tell the stories he wanted to tell, Lapham laid at least some of the foundations for the creator-owned variety we're enjoying at the moment.
Over 10 years and 40 issues, Lapham's gripping, brutal and heartbreaking stories hoovered up critical acclaim and awards, and heralded a new generation of noirish, morally ambiguous, character-led crime comics.
Even though it's nearly a decade since the series came to a halt (with the cliffhanger of #40), the dormant enthusiasm for Lapham's masterwork was roused with a vengeance last December, when Image's early Christmas present was the announcement that not only would the original series be completed, with the long-awaited #41, but there'd also be a new title – Stray Bullets: Killers.
And, while it's nearly two decades since the original title appeared, the debut issue of Killers makes it clear that Lapham has lost none of his capacity to drive the wind out of his readers with an emotional body blow.
Harking back to the stunning #2 of the original series, 'Victimology', which introduced long-running character Virginia Applejack, the new series takes us back to 1978 Baltimore and reacquaints us with charismatic but cold-hearted thug Spanish Scott.
Jim Thompson – a hard-bitten crime writer who must be in Lapham's pantheon – once reportedly said, "There are thirty-two ways to write a story, and I've used every one, but there is only one plot – things are not as they seem." This is at the heart of the Stray Bullets universe, where corruption lurks behind the veneer of suburban American propriety.
Stray Bullets has always played in the crepuscular space between the light of everyday suburban life and the dark of the urban criminal milieu; when the two brush against each other, bad things happen. And that template is brought into play again here, as we follow resourceful pre-teen Eli Goldburg, whose problems start when he finds a way to sneak unseen into the strip club where his salesman dad disappears of an afternoon…
Lapham's book hits the point where the light and the dark collide; the title of the series is emblematic of the way one ricochets into the other. The seeds of the issue's tragedy are sowed when Caroline – the sister of one of Eli's friends – turns up to work at the strip club and approaches Eli's father as a potential client for a private dance.
The power of the contrast between light and darkness is heightened by the weight that Lapham gives to the scenes of everyday life. While the book hits all of its crime beats, it also nails the everyday drama of human life. The personal stories – here featuring Eli, his family and his group of friends – are as important to Stray Bullets as the gangster stuff. The stakes may be different, but they're just as high to the characters involved.
Group dynamics are at the heart of Lapham's narrative, whether it's among a group of boob-curious pre-teen boys hanging around a back yard or the violent milieu of crime and gangsters. Dysfunctional family relationships play a part, too; largely neglected by his parents and cast out from his circle of friends, it comes as little that Eli searches for another kind of family that 'works'.
We shudder when Scott, impressed by Eli's ingenuity, says, "I have high hopes for you", hinting that he sees him as a protégé or a useful asset for the future. Then, in a telling little moment, the contrast is drawn between his dad, who wants to watch Star Trek (epitomising everything faded and old-fashioned) and the charismatic Scott, who wows Eli with a Star Wars joke.
However, in both worlds, the inability to keep one's mouth shut can prove costly. Eli's revelation about seeing Caroline at the club leads to his expulsion from the group of friends, but when he later tries to "take back" something he said to Scott, he learns that what works in the code of the playground doesn't always work in the adult world into which he's inadvertently strayed. Returning to the Stray Bullets metaphor of the title, actions often have unintended consequences.
And all this comes before we've even flagged up Lapham as one of the best storytellers in comics. His pages don't have fancy layouts or look-at-me splashes with a signature and date in the corner – just a confident line and a film-editor's eye for solid progressions. Here, they resonate with the bang-bang-bang of a regular eight-panel grid, like the ticking of a bomb or Lee Marvin's footsteps through LAX in Point Blank.
Despite the return of Spanish Scott, there's nothing in here to baffle or deter a new reader, and the book indicates that it'll follow the old Stray Bullets model of single stories forming a bigger whole, like those mosaic portraits made up of many smaller photos. Rest assured that #1 ends with a bang that will send echoes through the new universe Lapham has created. Acts have consequences; and so the Stray Bullets world turns.
It concludes with the artist's familiar sign-off: "The End…" Because while this is a new start for both Lapham and Stray Bullets, nothing ever really ends…

What Are the Symptoms of Omicron, the New Covid Variant?
WAC News | The latest news from all areas of the world January 10, 2022 Sports Edit
Gastrointestinal symptoms occur more often in children than in adults, Dr. Lighter said, but they can happen in adults too. The virus can infect some cells in a patient's gastrointestinal tract, which would lead to stomach issues like diarrhea, Dr. Pekosz said. Respiratory infections in general may cause people to produce more phlegm as they cough; swallowing that phlegm can then also irritate and upset the stomach.
Jan. 10, 2022, 4:28 pm ET
Fatigue is one of the more common Covid symptoms, both with Omicron and with previous variants of the virus, Dr. Lighter said. However, usually if someone is experiencing symptomatic Covid, fatigue will not be the only symptom.
To distinguish Covid-related fatigue from general weariness or exhaustion, pay attention to whether it comes on more suddenly, Dr. Pekosz said. "We get run down during the day," he said, "but if it increases really quickly, that's a sign that it isn't just, 'I didn't have my coffee this morning.'"
Are Omicron symptoms different if you are vaccinated?
Indeed, many Covid-19 symptoms vary depending on a person's vaccine status. Maya N. Clark-Cutaia, an assistant professor at the New York University Meyers College of Nursing who has been following up with Covid-19 patients throughout the pandemic, said that vaccinated patients with Delta or the original coronavirus tend to present with headache, congestion , sinus pressure and sinus pain, while unvaccinated patients are more likely to have shortness of breath and cough, along with flulike symptoms.
The Coronavirus Pandemic: Key Things to Know
Card 1 of 3
Around the world. In Europe, Germany is bracing for major protests against restrictions after thousands took to the streets in France and Austria, and a tough new vaccine requirement came into force in Italy. In Uganda, schools reopened after the longest pandemic-prompted shutdown in the world.
With Omicron, Dr. Clark-Cutaia said patients she's talked to in Pennsylvania are presenting with similar symptoms to Delta. Vaccinated Omicron patients complain of headaches, body aches and fever – "like a really bad cold," she said. Unvaccinated people have the same shortness of breath, cough and flulike symptoms she saw among unvaccinated people with Delta and the original coronavirus.
How long does it take for symptoms to appear?
Omicron seems to have a shorter incubation time than other variants – after a person is exposed, it takes as few as three days for them to develop symptoms, become contagious and test positive compared with four to six days with Delta and the original coronavirus, said Dr. Waleed Javaid, the director of infection prevention and control at Mount Sinai Downtown in New York City. That could be because the variant's mutations help it attach to and go inside cells, he added.
Is Omicron milder than other variants?
Some encouraging, emerging research shows that Omicron may cause less damage to the lungs, resulting in less severe disease than previous iterations of the virus. Early evidence from Europe also suggests Omicron may cause milder symptoms. In December, three separate research teams concluded that the variant was less likely to send patients to hospitals.

Dart high school football kicks-off this week
By Cayman Sports Buzz
Updated: 1 October 2018
Triple C (red) vs Cayman Academy (green) in action last year.
The second season of the Dart Under 13 Boys' and Under 14 Girls' High School football leagues kick-off this week with girls' games on Wednesday, 3 October and boys' games on Thursday, 4 October.
Organisers have decided to remain with the two age groups for 2018 to further establish the high school leagues before expanding the age groups to accommodate the Under 15s.
Sponsored exclusively by Dart, the leagues were considered to be a success during the inaugural 2017 season.
Games will be played during the week immediately after school and will continue until Wednesday, 21 November and Thursday 22 November.
High schools competing for the Dart Cup include Clifton Hunter High School, John Gray High School, St. Ignatius Catholic School, Triple C, Cayman Prep & High School, Cayman International School and Cayman Academy. Venues include fields at the Clifton Hunter High School, St. Ignatius Catholic School, Cayman International School (Dart Field), Cayman Prep High School, Annex Field and CIFA Centre of Excellence.
Defending champions are Cayman International Blue in the Dart Under 14 girls' league and Cayman Prep & High School in the Dart Under 13 boys' league.
Cayman International School (blue) aim to defend their Dart Under 14 Girls' high School League title.
The blueprint for the local high school football leagues includes eventually establishing three age groups for the boys (Under 13, Under 15 and Under 18) and a minimum of two leagues for the girls.
Organisers hope to emulate the various schoolboy leagues that are played in many of the Caribbean Islands, particularly the Manning and Dacosta Cups in Jamaica and the Secondary School Football League in Trinidad & Tobago.
One significant improvement for high school football in the Cayman Islands that is not widely seen in other Caribbean islands, is the leagues for girls, which will primarily aid in the increase of girls participating in the local club leagues and the female national programme, which are overseen by the Cayman Islands Football Association (CIFA).
CIFA's full support of the Dart Under 13 and Under 14 leagues is evident by the fact that once again, the CIFA youth leagues will not commence until after the Dart High School Leagues have ended in late November.
Games scheduled for this Wednesday, 3 October in the Dart Under 14 Girls' League include John St. Ignatius Catholic High School vs. Triple C (at St. Ignatius); Cayman Prep City vs. Cayman Prep United (at Cayman Prep & High School); Cayman International White vs. Cayman International Blue (at the Dart Field); and Clifton Hunter High School (CHHS) vs. John Gray High School (JGHS) (at CHHS).
Games to be played on Thursday, October 4th in the Dart Under 13 Boys' League include St. Ignatius Catholic High School vs. JGHS (at St. Ignatius); Cayman International White vs. Cayman International Blue (at the Dart Field); CHHS and Cayman Prep & High School (at CHHS); and Cayman Academy vs. Triple C (at the CIFA Field).
Local club youth coaches are encouraged to attend the games for recruitment purposes to view players eligible to play in the CIFA youth leagues and students from all the participating schools are urged to cheer on their respective schools.

BtoBet's chairman, Alessandro Fried, is a key speaker of the conference taking place today at ENADA Spring, focusing on the challenges of the Italian gaming market.
Alessandro Fried: The Italian market is very interesting and competitive. We bring our international experience gained over the years that represents the added value of the company.
Concerning the Sport products, we focus on different channels, considering the constant increase in the mobile offers, the possibility to create new gaming markets to stand out, whilst also taking into consideration the growing requests of Live, Fantasy Games, and eSports offers. This ultimately because the real challenge for bookmakers is to be able to get out of the standard offers.
Regulated markets are a source of guarantees, however presenting operators with a complex framework. And the Italian market is not an exception. In this perspective, it is crucial to rely on technical partners who also have the bureaucratic and regulatory know-how, which enables them to quickly manage the inevitable hidden dangers.
Being compliant with the regulations is a must, however technical partners must also be able to shorten the "time to market" which often determines the commercial success or failure for an operator.
AF: The availability of advanced technology in terms of analysis, marketing and user experience is a winning strategy. The real power is in the hands of the player, who chooses where, when and how to play. This is why it is essential to know deeply the player and his preferences, and to direct him to proposals that trigger his attention and keep him loyal to the brand.


LONDON, June 8, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The Technology Business Management (TBM) Council, a nonprofit organization dedicated to developing and promoting best practices for managing IT like a business, today announced the launch of a new book, Technology Business Management: The Four Business Disciplines Successful CIOs Use to Optimize Value. Written for IT leaders, this new book describes a proactive approach to optimizing the business value of IT through the discipline of TBM. Informed by the success of the Council's more than 2,500 members, the book provides a practical, applied framework for driving innovation and business value from IT investments and resources.
Launched at the TBM European Summit 2016, the TBM book draws on case studies from organizations like Cisco, Cox Enterprises, eBay, Kaiser Permanente and Nationwide Building Society. The book showcases how TBM disciplines, tools and data have helped CIOs better understand and communicate IT value, optimize spending, plan in alignment with the business and transform into a services-led IT organization.
"Forget big data, social, mobile and cloud. The real change in the past decade is that technology is no longer a business enabler; it is the business. When your business is on the line and your function is front and center, you need a method and system born in technology and designed for technology leaders. TBM is that method and system, and this book is the definitive manual for the management system of the modern technology-based enterprise," said Ralph Loura, Global CTO, Rodan + Fields.
Authored by TBM Council General Manager Todd Tucker, the book is supported by the Council's Board of Directors and serves the nonprofit's mandate for education and standardization. The board is led by CIOs and CTOs from AIG, AOL, ExxonMobil, Microsoft, SunTrust Banks, WorleyParsons and many more with the aim to establish and promote business management standards and practices that empower IT executives to collaborate with their business partners.
"For many CIOs, the value they deliver is elusive," said Chris Pick, President of the TBM Council. "Many IT leaders find themselves trapped in a vicious cycle of defending their budgets, cutting resources when times are tight, and struggling to keep pace with an insatiable business appetite for innovation. The TBM book was written to serve as a key resource to help IT leaders leverage and share facts to make better business decisions around their technology investments."
The Technology Business Management (TBM) Council is a nonprofit business entity focused on the development of a definitive framework for running technology organizations like a business. It is governed by an independent board of IT leaders from a diverse group of the world's most innovative companies like Cisco Systems, DuPont, ExxonMobil, First American, Goldman Sachs, Hewlett-Packard, Microsoft, Nike, WorleyParsons, Apptio, and more. The TBM Council's mission is to serve its members by delivering on key mandates of collaboration, standardization, and education. To learn more about the TBM Council, visit:www.tbmcouncil.org.

Scott Gottlieb Says Vaccinated Folks Cannot Throw Warning To The Wind
Dr. Scott Gottlieb on Friday urged fellow Americans vaccinated to be vigilant about the Covid Delta variant, telling CNBC that its highly transmissible nature cannot be ignored even by people with immunity protection.
"The original premise of vaccines – that they reduce the risk of serious illness and hospitalization – is still intact," said the former Commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration in the "Squawk Box". "We are still seeing in the data that the vast majority of people who get into trouble with Covid are people who are not vaccinated."
However, Gottlieb, who sits on the board of directors at Covid vaccine maker Pfizer, said the risk for vaccinated people is not zero.
"People who are vaccinated in an environment of this epidemic surge must take appropriate precautions, especially if they are in places with a high prevalence of infection," he said. "You can't just throw caution to the wind. You can still become a vehicle for dissemination in your community."
According to a CNBC analysis of Johns Hopkins University data, the seven-day average of daily new coronavirus cases in the US is 141,060. That is 14% more than a week ago. Cases are increasing by more than 5% in 42 states plus Washington, DC
Gottlieb's comments on Friday came in response to a question about three vaccinated U.S. Senators – Roger Wicker, Angus King and John Hickenlooper – who announced the day before that they had tested positive for Covid.
"I think there is now a realization that this delta is contagious enough to break through the vaccine protection, especially if you were vaccinated some time ago and have a waning immunity, as these senators probably did because they were before vaccinated for a long time. " "Said Gottlieb, who headed the FDA from 2017 to 2019.
While some scientists disagree with the recent decision by U.S. health officials to allow Covid booster vaccinations starting next month, Gottlieb said he believes the portability of the Delta variant supports the idea of giving Americans third doses. Given his role on Pfizer's board of directors, Gottlieb said he had studied the data showing diminishing immunity protection over time.
"Coincidentally, last December and January we vaccinated some of our most vulnerable elderly people in our society, especially nursing homes," said Gottlieb. "I think it would be sensible to get extra immunity in this population, especially given that we are dealing with a much more contagious variety."
Disclosure: Scott Gottlieb is a CNBC employee and a member of the board of directors of Pfizer, genetic testing startup Tempus, health technology company Aetion Inc., and biotechnology company Illumina. He is also co-chair of the Healthy Sail Panel of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings and Royal Caribbean.

Fitzpatrick, Jets' offense head into season with optimism
Goodell doesn't agree with Kaepernick's actions
Jharel Cotton makes memorable major league debut for A's
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) The entire infield ran to the mound to congratulate Jharel Cotton on a memorable major league debut Wednesday, and he showed the last-place Oakland Athletics a glimpse of a promising future when they beat the Los Angeles Angels 4-1.
The 24-year-old right-hander (1-0) looked poised from the moment he stepped on the rubber in the first. Cotton impressed with four pitches, dazzling with his changeup, showing strong command of his fastball and mixing in some solid curveballs and sliders.
C.J. Cron homered on a 3-2 pitch leading off the seventh with a drive that tipped off the glove of center fielder Brett Eibner, someone manager Bob Melvin wanted to evaluate at the position.
Eibner hit an RBI double and Yonder Alonso and Max Muncy added run-scoring singles to back Cotton.
After catcher Stephen Vogt offered an embrace and teammates followed, Cotton jogged off the mound in the seventh and stopped to tip his cap for the sparse crowd on an unseasonably warm September afternoon.
Cotton, who became the fourth pitcher in big league history born in the Virgin Islands, allowed one run on two hits, struck out three and walked two in a 102-pitch performance. He came to the A's from the Dodgers at the trade deadline in a deal that sent Josh Reddick to Los Angeles. He nearly tossed a one-hitter in his second start for Triple-A Nashville on Aug. 4, giving the Oakland front office a preview of his potential at the next level.
Ryan Madson, Oakland's third reliever, finished for his 29th save.
Alex Meyer (0-2) struck out five but walked four in 3 1-3 innings, allowing one run on one hit.
He became the 14th different Angels starting pitcher this season.
Cotton was the second A's starter to make his major league debut in three days, following Raul Alcantara's struggle on Monday.
It also marked the second time in Oakland history the A's had five starters make their major league debuts in one season, also in 1978. Using the 27th pitcher of the season, the A's matched the second-most to appear in a year - also 1977 and 2009 - behind 30 in 2015.
Angels: RHP Matt Shoemaker flew home to Southern California from Seattle, three days after taking a line drive to the head and undergoing surgery to stop bleeding on his brain. ... INF Yunel Escobar (left wrist) was scheduled to hit Wednesday. ''He feels better,'' manager Mike Scioscia said. ''We'll turn him loose in batting practice and see how he is Friday.'' ... C Geovany Soto (right knee) continues to progress slowly. He'll be re-evaluated when the Angels return home this weekend.
Athletics: With the pitching struggles, the A's are looking at going with a six-man rotation. LHP Sean Manaea, who left his Aug. 29 start at Houston with a sore back, has recovered well and is likely to make a start during the team's road trip next week to Kansas City and Texas.
Angels: LHP Tyler Skaggs (3-3) starts Friday looking to win his third straight outing on the heels of a three-start skid. He will face Texas for the first time since July 13, 2014.
Athletics: After an off day, RHP Daniel Mengden (1-6) starts Friday against the Seattle Mariners trying to snap his 0-5 record at home in the Oakland Coliseum.

204.602. Proceedings for reorganization, requirements. — 1. Proceedings for the new formation of a reorganized common sewer district under sections 204.600 to 204.640 shall be substantially as follows: a petition in duplicate describing the proposed boundaries of the reorganized district sought to be formed, accompanied by a plat of the proposed district, shall first be filed with each county commission having jurisdiction in the geographic area the proposed district is situated. Such petition shall be ruled on by each county commission having jurisdiction within thirty days from the date of hearing the petition. If the petition for the reorganized district is rejected by any county commission having jurisdiction, no further action on the proposed district shall take place before the county commission which rejected the petition or the circuit court of that county in the county which rejected the petition. If approved by each county commission having jurisdiction, a petition in duplicate describing the proposed boundaries of the reorganized district sought to be formed, accompanied by a plat of the proposed district, shall be filed with the clerk of the circuit court of the county wherein the proposed district is situated or with the clerk of the circuit court of the county having the largest acreage proposed to be included in the proposed district, in the event that the proposed district embraces lands in more than one county. Such petition, in addition to such boundary description, shall set forth an estimate of the number of customers of the proposed district, the necessity for the formation of the district, the probable cost of acquiring or constructing sanitary sewer improvements with the district, if appropriate, an approximation of the assessed valuation of taxable property within the district, whether the board of trustees shall be elected or appointed by the county commission, and such other information as may be useful to the court in determining whether or not the petition should be granted and a decree of incorporation entered. Such petition shall be accompanied by a cash deposit of fifty dollars as an advancement of the costs of the proceeding. The petition shall be signed by not less than fifty voters or property owners within the proposed district and shall request the incorporation of the territory therein described into a reorganized common sewer district. The petition shall be verified by at least one of the signers.
2. Upon filing, the petition shall be presented to the circuit court, and such court shall fix a date for a hearing on such petition, as provided in this section. The clerk of the court shall give notice of the petition filing in some newspaper of general circulation in the county in which the proceedings are pending. If the district extends into any other county, such notice also shall be published in some newspaper of general circulation in such other county. The notice shall contain a description of the proposed boundary lines of the district and the general purposes of the petition. The notice shall set forth the date fixed for the hearing on the petition, which shall not be less than fifteen nor more than twenty-one days after the date of the last publication of the notice, and shall be on some regular judicial day of the court that the petition is pending. Such notice shall be signed by the clerk of the circuit court and shall be published in three successive issues of a weekly newspaper or in a daily paper once a week for three consecutive weeks.
3. The court, for good cause shown, may continue the case or the hearing from time to time until final disposition.
4. Exceptions to the formation of a district, or to the boundaries outlined in the petition for incorporation, may be made by any voter or property owner within the proposed districts, provided that such exceptions are filed not less than five days prior to the date set for the hearing on the petition. Such exceptions shall specify the grounds upon which the exceptions are being made. If any such exceptions are filed, the court shall take them into consideration in passing upon the petition and also shall consider the evidence in support of the petition and in support of the exceptions made. Should the court find that the petition should be granted but that changes should be made in the boundary lines, it shall make such changes in the boundary lines as set forth in the petition as the court may deem proper and enter its decree of incorporation, with such boundaries as changed. No public sewer district shall be formed under this chapter, chapter 249, section 247.035, or any sewer district created and organized under constitutional authority, the boundaries of which shall encroach upon the corporate boundaries of any sewer district then existing or upon the certificated boundaries then existing of any sewer corporation providing service under a certificate of convenience and necessity granted by the public service commission. Nor shall any public sewer district extend wastewater collection and treatment services within the boundaries of another district without a written cooperative agreement between such districts or within the certificated boundaries then existing of any sewer corporation providing service under a certificate of convenience and necessity granted by the public service commission without a written cooperative agreement between the public sewer district and the certificated sewer corporation.
5. Should the court find that it would not be in the public interest to form such a district, the petition shall be dismissed at the cost of the petitioners. If the court should find in favor of the formation of such district, the court shall enter its decree of incorporation, setting forth the boundaries of the proposed district as determined by the court under the hearing. The decree shall further contain an appointment of five voters from the district to constitute the first board of trustees of the district. The court shall designate such trustees to staggered terms from one to five years such that one director is appointed or elected each year. The trustees appointed by the court shall serve for the terms designated and until their successors have been appointed or elected as provided in section 204.610. The decree shall further designate the name of the district by which it shall officially be known.
6. The decree of incorporation shall not become final and conclusive until it is submitted to the voters residing within the boundaries described in such decree and until it is assented to by a majority of the voters as provided in subsection 9 of this section or by two-thirds of the voters of the district voting on the proposition. The decree shall provide for the submission of the question and shall fix the date of submission. The returns shall be certified by the election authority to the circuit court having jurisdiction in the case, and the court shall enter its order canvassing the returns and declaring the result of such election.
7. If a majority of the voters of the district voting on such proposition approve of the proposition, then the court shall, in such order declaring the result of the election, enter a further order declaring the decree of incorporation to be final and conclusive. In the event, however, that the court should find that the question had not been assented to by the majority required in this section, the court shall enter a further order declaring such decree of incorporation to be void. No appeal shall be permitted from any such decree of incorporation nor from any of the aforesaid orders. In the event that the court declares the decree of incorporation to be final, the clerk of the circuit court shall file certified copies of such decree of incorporation and of such final order with the secretary of state of the state of Missouri, with the recorder of deeds of the county or counties in which the district is situated, and with the clerk of the county commission of the county or counties in which the district is situated.
8. The costs incurred in the formation of the district shall be taxed to the district, if the district is incorporated; otherwise the costs shall be paid by the petitioners.
9. If petitioners seeking formation of a reorganized common sewer district specify in their petition that the district to be organized shall be organized without authority to issue general obligation bonds, then the decree relating to the formation of the district shall recite that the district shall not have authority to issue general obligation bonds. The vote required for such a decree of incorporation to become final and conclusive shall be a simple majority of the voters of the district.
10. Once a reorganized sewer district is established, the boundaries of the reorganized sewer district may be extended or enlarged from time to time upon the filing, with the clerk of the circuit court having jurisdiction, of a petition by either:
(1) The board of trustees of the reorganized sewer district and five or more voters or landowners within the territory proposed to be added to the district; or
(2) The board of trustees and a majority of the landowners within the territory that is proposed to be added to the reorganized sewer district.
If the petition is filed by a majority of the voters or landowners within the territory proposed to be added to the reorganized sewer district, the publication of notice shall not be required, provided notice is posted in three public places within such territory at least seven days before the date of the hearing, and provided that there is sworn testimony by at least five landowners in such territory, or a majority of the landowners if the total landowners in the area are fewer than ten. Otherwise the procedures for notice substantially shall follow the procedures in subsection 2 of this section for formation. Territory proposed to be added to the reorganized sewer district may be either contiguous or reasonably close to the boundaries of the existing district, provided that it shall not include any territory within the corporate boundaries of any sewer district then existing or within the certificated boundaries then existing of any sewer corporation providing service under a certificate of convenience and necessity granted by the public service commission. Upon the entry of a final judgment declaring the court's decree of territory proposed to be added to the reorganized sewer district to be final and conclusive, the court shall modify or rearrange the boundary lines of the reorganized sewer district as may be necessary or advisable. The costs incurred in the enlargement or extension of the district shall be taxed to the district, if the district is enlarged or extended. Otherwise, such costs shall be paid by the petitioners. However, no costs shall be taxed to the trustees of the district.
11. Should any landowner who owns real estate that is not within the certificated boundaries of any sewer corporation providing service under a certificate of convenience and necessity granted by the public service commission or within another sewer district organized under this chapter or chapters 247 or 249 or under the Missouri Constitution, but that is contiguous or reasonably close to the existing boundaries of the reorganized sewer district, desire to have such real estate incorporated in the district, the landowner shall first petition the board of trustees for its approval. If such approval is granted, the secretary of the board shall endorse a certificate of the board's approval of the petition. The petition so endorsed shall be filed with the clerk of the circuit court in which the reorganized sewer district is incorporated. It then shall be the duty of the court to amend the boundaries of such district by a decree incorporating the real estate. A certified copy of this amended decree including the real estate in the district then shall be filed in the office of the recorder, in the office of the county clerk of the county in which the real estate is located, and in the office of the secretary of state. The costs of this proceeding shall be borne by the petitioning property owner.
12. The board of trustees of any reorganized common sewer district may petition the circuit court of the county containing the majority of the acreage in the district for an amended decree of incorporation to allow that district to engage in the construction, maintenance, and operation of water supply and distribution facilities that serve ten or more separate properties located wholly within the district, are not served by another political subdivision, or are not located within the certificated area of a water corporation as defined in chapter 386, or within a public water supply district as defined in chapter 247, and the operation and maintenance of all such existing water supply facilities. The petition shall be filed by the board of trustees, and all proceedings shall be in substantially the same manner as in action for initial formation of a reorganized common sewer district, except that no vote of the residents of the district shall be required. All applicable provisions of this chapter shall apply to the construction, operation, and maintenance of water supply facilities in the same manner as they apply to like functions relating to sewer treatment facilities.

This post is sponsored by Acorn Influence and Best Fiends, but the content and opinions expressed here are my own.
One of my favorite ways to relax and unwind amidst the hustle and bustle of life is gaming, especially when I'm not caught in a whirlwind of activities. Games are also a surefire way to nix boredom when traveling, whether I'm on the road, waiting at the airport, or on a plane. I love puzzle adventure, psychological thrillers, and hidden object games. These type of games challenge me intellectually since they all require strategy, skill, and patience. That is why I naturally love the game that's cleverly called Best Fiends.
Best Fiends is everything I want in a game. It is enjoyable as it is challenging in every aspect, not to mention addictive! Think of the classic match-three puzzle games like Candy Crush or Bejeweled, but with a twist. Band together with the Best Fiends to conquer the army of slugs that are invading Mount Boom by leveling up the Fiends, connecting the shapes within each level, and using the Fiends' powers to help battle the slugs! You'll collect new Fiends and visit different realms as you progress in the game. It's currently available for download via the Apple Store, Google Play, and Amazon. The game is completely free to install and play, but it does have in-app purchases like most mobile games.

They have partnered with Malaria No More to help you give a child a life-saving test and Malaria treatment by playing this game. Once again, it doesn't cost a penny to play this game!

A MASTER plan to redevelop and conserve Manila's historical walled city of Intramuros will spawn a river promenade, theme parks, boutique hotels, museums, theatres and other attractions.
Though details are not yet known, TTG Asia e-Daily understands that the restoration project will be open to private investors. Meanwhile, Augusto Rustia, chief, Cultural Properties and Conservation Division of the Intramuros Administration, said some components of the master plan are already underway.
Maestranza Park, facing Pasig River, will have a promenade, a dock for river cruises, cafes, restaurants, shops and exhibition areas, patterned after Singapore's Clarke Quay. The reconstruction of San Ignacio Church also started this year to make way for an ecclesiastical museum, which will house 7,000 artefacts.
Other developments include the conversion of the former Ateneo Municipal School into a boutique hotel and the transformation of the space along Santa Lucia Gate into a small-scale theme park of Old Manila's historical landmarks, similar to Madurodam in The Hague. The American Barracks will also house an American colonial period museum.
Rustia, whose department is being consulted for the master plan, said he would like Intramuros' restoration to include more features, such as the revival of the Rajah Sulayman Theater and the art performances in Puerto Real.
However, he lamented that there was a lack of funds and conservation was not a priority in the country.

California extends strict stay-at-home order as hospital capacity dwindles
Lockdown to continue in hard-hit southern California and San Joaquin Valley as governor warns residents to brace for the worst

California has extended its strict stay-at-home orders in areas where hospital ICU capacity is rapidly dwindling, as the state's governor warned residents to brace for a "surge on top of a surge" following the holiday season.
The state's top health official, Dr Mark Ghaly, said that southern California and the agricultural San Joaquin Valley still have effectively zero ICU capacity and that the state's restrictions would continue longer there.

California's governor, Gavin Newsom, said on Monday that even with hospital admissions plateauing in some places, the state was destined to move into a "new phase" that it has been preparing for as it sets up hospital beds in arenas, schools and tents, though it is struggling to staff them.
"As we move into this new phase, where we brace, where we prepare ourselves for what is inevitable now ... based on the travel we have just seen in the last week and the expectation of more of the same through the rest of the holiday season of a surge on top of a surge, arguably, on top of, again, another surge," Newsom said.
The state is battling its deadliest phase of the pandemic thus far, with daily case numbers breaking records and intensive care units running out of beds, particularly in hard-hit southern California and the Central Valley.
How California went from a leader in the Covid fight to a state in despair
California reported more than 31,000 new cases on Tuesday and 242 deaths, but the numbers are likely to climb this week as labs and counties catch up their reporting from the holiday week.
State officials also notified hospitals that the situation is so dire they should prepare for the possibility that they will have to resort to "crisis care" guidelines established earlier in the pandemic, which allow for rationing treatment.
The surge of infections is due in large part to Thanksgiving travel and celebrations, which happened despite warnings from health officials not to gather because the nation's most populated state was already seeing explosive growth in cases.
Models used for planning show hospitalizations more than doubling in the next month from about 20,000 to more than 50,000.
Although there are indications more people are heeding stay-at-home orders that apply to all of the state but the northernmost rural counties, there was a bump in air travel in Los Angeles similar to Thanksgiving, with a high of 43,000 passengers on 23 December, the highest figure since the start of the pandemic, spokesman Heath Montgomery said.
The state has several makeshift hospitals that are taking patients, but more healthcare workers are needed to staff them, the Democratic governor said. It has deployed more than 1,000 people to 116 hospitals and other facilities through a volunteer corps or the national guard. On the upside, Newsom said California finally expects to receive more of the traveling healthcare workers it had requested in anticipation of the shortage.
Over the weekend, most Los Angeles county hospitals reached a crisis point where they had to divert ambulances because they did not have beds available. Dr Barbara Ferrer, the county's public health director, said the "situation may only get worse as we begin 2021".
Los Angeles county, which accounts for a quarter of California's nearly 40 million residents, has about 40% of the state's 24,000 deaths. The county is approaching a milestone of 10,000 deaths. Anyone who has traveled out of Los Angeles county is required to quarantine for 10 days when they return, the health department announced on Monday.

CBN Disburses $280m To SMEs, BDCs, Invisibles
Kingsley IghomwenghianApril 18, 2017
In continuation of its resolve to sustain liquidity in the country's foreign exchange market, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) on Tuesday, April 18, 2017, pumped $280m into various sectors of the market, commencing its weekly $20,000 sale to licensed Bureaux de Change.
It also further announced the opening of bids for offering $100m wholesale 7-45 days forwards through the Deposit Money Banks (DMBs).
A breakdown of the intervention shows that while invisibles such as Basic Travel Allowance, Personal Travel Allowance, medical bills and tuition fees received $80m, the Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) window got $100m.
Together with the wholesale bid auction, the Bank, on Tuesday, sold $280 million into the market.
CBN's spokesman, Isaac Okorafor, who confirmed the releases, explained that the new SMEs window would no doubt boost the business of SMEs through the importation of eligible finished and semi-finished items, thereby boosting FOREX supply to the retail business segment of the market.
Okorafor further explained that the apex bank introduced the use of FORM Q for the SMEs, which requires just basic documentation, to ease their documentation challenges usually encountered by this category of businesses. He reiterated that SMEs are allowed to purchase $20,000 per quarter on this arrangement.
He restated that the new form, which must be completed by all SME applicants, requires the applicant to fill the form with a supporting application letter as well as beneficiary invoice and bank wire transfer. According to him, eligible applicants must have operated their bank accounts for a minimum of six months.
On the sale of forex to BDCs, the CBN said the decision would ensure that the high volume demand by low-end users is met promptly.
Meanwhile, with the intervention of the CBN in the various aspects of the market, analysts are of the view that the naira will strengthen against other major currencies of the world in the forex market this week and beyond.
While urging market participants to abide by the rules to ensure the preservation of our external reserves, stability of our financial system, and growth of our economy to the benefit of all Nigerians, the Bank's spokesman warned that the CBN would neither tolerate unscrupulous actions nor hesitate to bring serious sanctions on offenders, be they banks or their staff.

Confessions: The Paris Mysteries
Babydreams
Confessions of a Murder Suspect
At the start of the gripping seventh Women's Murder Club thriller from bestseller Patterson and Paetro (after 2007's The 6th Target ), San Francisco is still haunted by the disappearance of Michael Campion, the much-adored teenage son of a former California governor, three months earlier. Following up on a tip that Michael was last seen entering a prostitute's house, homicide inspector Lindsay Boxer and her new partner, Rich Conklin, are shocked when the hooker immediately confesses that Michael, who had a heart defect, died during sex and she disposed of his body. Lindsay's ADA pal, Yuki Castellano, is sure she has a slam-dunk case, but the trial soon takes a bizarre turn. Lindsay and Rich also scramble to track down a serial arsonist responsible for murdering a string of wealthy couples. Lindsay races to put the pieces together before the fires hit too close to home. In true Patterson style, the reader is privy to Lindsay's thoughts as well as the killers', ratcheting up the suspense an extra notch. Fans won't be disappointed with the twist at the end that not even Lindsay sees coming. (Feb.)

Hello Beauties! Sorry for the lack of activity the last days but I haven't been feeling that good and yesterday when I finished taking the pictures for the Emma Stone tutorial I don't know what I did with my camera and I deleted all of them! And I was like nooooo... and there was no way to recover them, nothing, nope, nada.... And there I was with a full face of makeup at 2 a.m. in the morning with no pictures and super angry with the world, so I decided to wipe it all off go to sleep and I'll re-do it all over again today. I am so sorry for the delay!
This post was supposed to be for tomorrow but since I don't have the tutorial, I've just changed them. I hope you like it and find it useful (there's some personal stuff in it but I think that anyone who has suffer some hair loss or hair problem may feel related to it).
Hair loss is a problem that you may never think of until you suffer it (and this is where the personal part starts). During all my life I had a lot of hair, like a lot of it, I would even go to the hairdresser to get some volume off. I had a long mane and even though I colored it and wear it as a blonde I've never had any problems with it, it was strong and smooth. That was until I was 21, in 2010 I went to live and study in Sweden for a year as an Erasmus exchange student. Before leaving there I turned my hair back to its original brunette color so I wouldn't have to go to the hairdresser in my new adoption country (which is kind of expensive). So everything was totally fine, my hair was at its best and there were no problems in sight until the second month after my arrival started . I started to see that I had a lot of hair loss, it clogged the shower drainpipe, I would find hair everywhere from my pillow to my clothes, when I brushed my hair a lot of it fell (like small hair locks). I didn't care that much at first, until I went back to my hometown and visited my hairdresser during the holidays. The moment I seated on her chair, she literally freaked out... I had lost 50% of my hair in just 4 months! And that's the moment I got really scared and became aware that I was suffering a major hair loss problem. My hairdresser checked out my scalp to see if there was some kind of problem there and it was a bit itchy and irritated. The main problem wasn't there but we couldn't figure out what was happening. She gave me specific hair pills that I had to take for three months and one week later more or less I went back to Sweden because I have to keep on studying there.
I took the pills for three months and I started to see a recovery in my hair, I had tiny baby hairs coming out again and the hair loss decreased (it didn't disappear completely, but I could feel it was smaller than before). Anyway I was still scared and everyday I was checking out the baby hairs and the brushes to see day after day if my hair was growing back. I didn't came back to my hometown until June and as soon as I went back home I went to the hairdresser. She checked my hair again and told me the good news, I had recovered 25% of my hair so I was at 75% which was great for me after all the hair loss.
After that I kept on taking those pills twice a year to prevent seasonal hair loss and even though I kept the 75% of my hair, I've never went back to before I went to Sweden. In the end it was stress what caused my hair to fall. But after all the problems I am pretty happy with it and that I was able to stop it before it was too late. I don't want to sound like I don't have hair or anything, I still have a lot of hair, long and healthy that I'm happy with.
After all this story, let's go to the products I used and still use that I recommend to any of you who may have some hair problems, not only hair loss but also sensitive scalp or brittle hair.
Densilogy by Innéov: These are the pills that I take twice a year for three months (six in total). Each box for three months costs around 50E so it's not expensive for how good it works. Not only it makes the hair stronger and stops the hair loss, also it makes hair and nails grow super fast. Just one minor con, it makes ALL hair grow up really quickly so you will have to shave more often than usual.
Cellular Renewal and Regeneration Cream by Skynderm: This cell regenerative cream does wonders for damaged, irritated scalp and to fix the redness of it. You have to apply it directly on your scalp, make a soft massage and leave it there for half an hour. Then you wash your hair as usual. It really helps to reduce the irritation on the scalp and you can use it even if you have a sensitive scalp. I can't remember how much it costs (I know it was expensive) and I bought it to my hairdresser directly.
Deep Micro Exfoliant Scalp Treatment by Kiehl's: One of the causes of thinner hair and/or hair loss is clogged scalp pores. This products help you to exfoliate the scalp softly, remove dead cells and make a deeper cleanse. It's also good to control dandruff. I use this from time to time to make sure that my scalp is fresh and healthy.
System 1 by Nioxin: It's composed by three different products that help to add more volume and thickness to you hair. There are different systems depending on your needs but this one was the one that worked for me during that time. Just ask your hairdresser to see wich one is good for your hair.
I used this system on my hair while I was taking the pills and using the cream by Skynderm. I know that's a lot of products but as I said my hair needed a shock therapy to get back on track. I spent a lot of money on it but I was really happy with the results so in the end it was all worth it. I want to insist that this was my personal experience and this were the products that worked (and still work) on me, but I'm not saying these are miraculous products and maybe they don't work the same on everyone. If you decide to use them I'll advise you to talk to your hairdresser or doctor and see what they recommend you.
Well that was everything. I know that it's a really looong post but I hope it helps somebody who might be struggling with hair loss or hair problems of any kind. If you want to share your experience, the products that worked for you or you have any questions please tell me in the comments. Kisses!
¡Hola guapas! Siento la falta de actividad estos últimos días pero no me encontraba muy bien y ayer cuando terminé de sacar las fotos para el tutorial de Emma Stone no sé lo que hice con mi cámara ¡y las borré! Y fue como nooooo... y no hubo manera de recuperarlas, nothing, nada, nope... Y allí estaba yo a las dos de la mañana con la cara llena de maquillaje, sin fotos y enfadada con el mundo, así que me desmaquillé y me fui a dormir así que lo repetiré todo hoy. ¡Siento la tardanza!
Este post se supone que era para mañana pero como no tengo el tutorial, he cambiado el orden. Espero que os resulte útil (hay parte personal en él pero creo que le servirá a cualquier persona que sufra o haya sufrido pérdida de pelo o algún problema capilar y que pueda sentirse identificada).
La caída de pelo es un problema en el que nunca piensas hasta que lo sufres (y aquí empieza la historia personal). Durante toda mi vida he tenido mucho pelo, pero mucho mucho, incluso iba al peluquero a que me descargara volumen. Tenía el pelo largo y a pesar de teñírmelo y llevarlo rubio un montón de años, no tenía ningún problema con él, era fuerte y suave. Eso fue así hasta que cumplí 21 años y me fui a estudiar a Suecia en el 2010 como estudiante Erasmus durante un año. Antes de irme había vuelto a mi color moreno original así no tenía que ir a la peluquería allí (ya que son carísimas). Así que todo estaba bien, mi pelo estaba en plena forma y sin problemas a la vista hasta que comenzó mi segundo mes después de la llegada a Suecia. Empecé a ver que tenía mucha caída, se taponaba la ducha, había pelo por todas partes, desde la almohada a mi ropa, cuando me lo cepillaba se caía mucho (incluso como pequeños mechones). En ese momento no me preocupé en exceso, hasta que volví a casa por Navidad y visité a mi peluquera. En el momento en el que me senté en la silla se asustó muchísimo...Había perdido el 50% de mi pelo en sólo 4 meses! Y allí fue el momento en el que realmente me asuste y me dí cuenta de que tenía un problema de caída bastante grave. Mi peluquera comprobó mi cuero cabelludo para ver si había algún problema y observó que estaba irritado y enrojecido. De todas formas la causa principal, culpable de la caída no era esa, pero no podíamos saber con certeza que estaba pasando. Me dio unas pastillas específicas que tenía que tomar durante tres meses y aproximadamente una semana más tarde tuve que volver a Suecia.
Me tomé las pastillas los tres meses siguientes y empecé a ver cómo mi pelo se recuperaba, salían pequeños cabellos de nuevo y la caída había disminuido (no había desaparecido totalmente pero podía ver que era menos que anteriormente). De todas maneras todavía estaba asustada y miraba a diario los cabellos que salían de nuevo y comprobaba los cepillos para ver si mi pelo crecía otra vez. No volví a casa hasta junio y tan pronto llegué, fui a la peluquería. Mi peluquera comprobó mi melena y me dio las buenas noticias, había recuperado un 25% del pelo así que estaba al 75%, lo que para mí fue increíble tras toda la caída que había tenido.
Después de eso, sigo tomando las pastillas dos veces al año para prevenir la caída estacional y a pesar de que mantengo el 75% de mi pelo, nunca he vuelto a tener la melena que tenía antes de ir a Suecia. Al final, era el estrés el desencadenante de la caída. Pero tras todos los problemas estoy muy contenta y con el hecho de poder parar la caída antes de que fuera demasiado tarde. No quiero que suene a que me he quedado sin pelo ni mucho menos, todavía tengo mucho cabello, largo y sano con el que estoy feliz.
Tras toda esta historia, vamos a los productos que utilicé (y que aún uso) que os recomiendo a todas aquellas personas que puedan tener algún problema capilar, no sólo caída, si no también un cuero cabelludo sensible o un pelo frágil.
Densilogy de Innéov: Éstas son las pastillas que me tomo dos veces al año durante tres meses (seis en total). Cada caja de tres meses cuesta alrededor de 50E así que no es nada caro para lo bien que funciona. No sólo hace que el pelo esté mas fuerte y para la caída, si no que también hace que tanto el cabello como las úñas crezcan muy rápido. Sólo tiene un pequeño fallo, hace que crezca TODO el pelo con la misma rapidez, así que te tienes que depilar con más frecuencia que habitualmente.
Crema Renovadora y Regeneradora Celular de Skynderm: Esta crema refenerativa es imprescindible para toda aquella persona que tenga el cuero cabelludo irritado, estropeado o enrojecido. Lo tienes que aplicar directamente en el cuero cabelludo (siento repetirme), darte un pequeño masaje y dejarlo actuar una media hora. Después te lavas tu pelo como de costumbre. Realmente ayuda a reducir la irritación y lo puedes utilizar incluso si tienes un cuero cabelludo sensible. No recuerdo cuanto cuesta (sé que era caro) y se lo compré a mi peluquera directamente.
Tratamiento Micro-Exfoliante para el Cuero Cabelludo de Kiehl's: Una de las causas que provocan la caída o el afinamiento del pelo es el taponamiento de los poros del cuero cabelludo. Este producto te ayuda a exfoliarlo de manera suave, eliminar las células muertas y limpiar en profundidad. También sirve para controlar la caspa. Suelo utilizarlo de vez en cuando para asegurarme de que mi cuero cabelludo está limpio y sano.
System 1 de Nioxin: Se compone por tres productos diferentes que te ayudan a dar más volumen y grosor a tu cabello. Hay diferentes tratamientos en función de tus necesidades pero éste es el que me funcionó a mí aquella vez. Simplemente pregúntale a tu peluquera sobre cuál es el más adecuado para tu caso específico.
Utilicé estepack a la vez que tomaba las pastillas y aplicaba la crema de Skynderm. Sé que son muchos productos pero mi cabello necesitaba una terapia de choque para recuperarse. Tuve que invertir bastante dinero pero estoy muy satisfecha con los resultados así que mereció la pena. Quiero insistir en el hecho de que todo esto se trata de una experiencia personal y que estos son los productos que me funcionaron (y que todavía lo hacen) de manera persona, pero no quiero decir que sean milahrosos o que funciones igual de bien para todo el mundo. Si decides utilizarlos, te recomiendo que hables con tu peluquera o tu médico y ver que te aconsejan.
Bueno, esto es todo. Sé que es un post larguíiiiisimo pero espero que ayude a alguien que esté luchando contra la caída o contra cualquier problema capilar. Si quieres compartir tu experiencia, los productos que te han funcionado o tienes alguna pregunta no dudes en dejar un comentario. Besos!
Al final el estrés afecta a todo, la caída de pelo es un problema desesperante.
Que pena lo de tus fotos, cuando pasa eso dan ganas de tirarla por la ventana! Lo del pelo fue un poco desesperante como tu dices, menos mal que de momento (crucemos los dedos porque siga así) está solucionado. Un besito!
A mi también se me cae mucho el pelo... Las de Inneov no las he probado, pero yo tomo unas que se llaman Anacaps y son de Ducray que me van fenomenal, las tomo una vez al año durante 3 meses y ademas te viene el tratamiento en un pack cuesta unos 45 euros.
PD: Cada dia me gusta mas tu Blog!!
oh, I've got problems with hair too((. Thanks for usefull post!
This is so helpful, I love when people help other people out it makes me happy ^_^ Great post!
Wow! I've definitely noticed a little bit of my hair falls out in the shower and when I brush it. My friends and I call it 'shedding', I never thought of it much but after hearing your story I'm definitely going to keep these products in mind! Thank-you for sharing!
Me alegro de que lo solucionaras también, que productos utilizaste?? Un besito guapa!
Gracias linda! Al final lo tuve que repetir pero bueno ya está solucionado :) Que tratamientos te hance en clase?? Un besito y feliz finde!
Con paciencia seguro que lo solucionas :) qué marcas utilizabas? Un besito y ánimo guapa!
Me alegro que se mejorara el problema porque tiene que ser algo para nada agradable de vivir.
El estrés causa muchos problemas en el cuerpo, ¿verdad? y eso que es todo psicológico.
Con los productos de ayuda a la pérdida de pelo me muestro un poco escéptica, pero supongo que en casos como el tuyo, cuando es el estrés que hace que el pelo se caiga, pueden ayudar a que vuelva a crecer, pero me gustaría ver estudios serios sobre su eficacia para acabar de creer en ellos.
El estrés (al menos para mí) es lo peor, la piel se me vuelve sensible, me salen granitos, pérdida de pelo y encima a mi me da por comer... un cuadro vaya! Como tu dices realmente es psicológico así que desde entonces si empiezo a notar alguno de estos síntomas pongo el freno. Como tu dices con estos productos nunca terminas de fiarte, yo me baso más en la experiencia propia y en lo que me recomendaron los profesionales que desde luego me funcionó, pero como tu dices habría que investigar más a fondo la manera en que funcionan y su formulación. Un besito guapa!
