<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Hair loss is a concern for both men and women. It can have a devastating effect to anyone who experiences it. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to Web MD, the average adult head has about 100,000 to 150,000 strands of hair and loses up to 100 of them a day, which is normal. As people age, their rate of hair growth slows, and they can experience losing more than hundreds of strands which is quite alarming. So what can you do to prevent it? </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For beauty and wellness expert, Cory Quirino, embracing wellness is the first step to help improve the hair’s condition and make people look younger. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP1N93VOdkDm3arKUj_D-G-nNmSLgWKjM6zW0jOCFDmDoLppWA0w9nHnxt3zTOtKzzzvHvPnSKNanMGppleCr6LBDYvjUt4j_b9VOcWK0rU65IRvw4FEnVvcMD7ZQpXpTlpu9pbFNDZY4h/s1600/41532090_255810475070760_7255414676048052224_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="721" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP1N93VOdkDm3arKUj_D-G-nNmSLgWKjM6zW0jOCFDmDoLppWA0w9nHnxt3zTOtKzzzvHvPnSKNanMGppleCr6LBDYvjUt4j_b9VOcWK0rU65IRvw4FEnVvcMD7ZQpXpTlpu9pbFNDZY4h/s400/41532090_255810475070760_7255414676048052224_n.jpg" width="266" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“If you choose to have a wellness lifestyle, then expect wonderful changes such as radiant skin, energy, and a general sense of well-being,” she emphasizes. “In time, you will realize that you have successfully delayed the aging process.” </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The beauty and wellness expert says that choosing wellness as a lifestyle includes eating nutritious food, exercising, getting a good sleep, drinking generous amounts of water, managing stress, getting enough sunshine, and above all, staying positive. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On top of a daily healthy regimen, a supplement is necessary to maintain a healthy hair and scalp. Many people opt to use chemical-based products. But for her, the use of natural products is a must and the best solution for hair loss. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“There are hair treatment products in the market today that claim to be effective but their ingredients could contain chemicals that may prove harmful with long-term use,” she enthuses. “Choose natural. Say NO to harsh chemicals and let nature do the makeover,” she emphasizes. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Natural ingredients such as virgin coconut oil (VCO) and aloe vera are loaded with beneficial properties, which boost the health of the scalp and hair. These and much more natural herbs and essential oils can be found in NOVUHAIR, a topical scalp lotion with 19 natural ingredients that work in synergy to help prevent hair loss, which the beauty and wellness expert approves of. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib-JSLVY7feiSx8Ahyrg4O9c1ukOevCflBT2j1gVBsQ7s8pi2ZR3LBtGcX1OK-R6ND9z15CE-JkmonuviwTUQ7KU624Ak7FcHWNgyER-8DN_vMRaysi8FhyMgFiVUJgKyLq1bALWE7Ct6R/s1600/41462201_777836335893661_74411927605870592_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1126" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib-JSLVY7feiSx8Ahyrg4O9c1ukOevCflBT2j1gVBsQ7s8pi2ZR3LBtGcX1OK-R6ND9z15CE-JkmonuviwTUQ7KU624Ak7FcHWNgyER-8DN_vMRaysi8FhyMgFiVUJgKyLq1bALWE7Ct6R/s400/41462201_777836335893661_74411927605870592_n.jpg" width="375" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Even if I have been blessed with thick hair, I know that it has to be cared for,” she maintains. “I use NOVUHAIR topical scalp lotion once daily in the evening before bedtime. Next morning, I apply it on my scalp again, then a shampoo after 30 minutes. Those who wish to further thicken the hair, it is a must to also use the shampoo and conditioner daily.” </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Eventually, she noticed impressive effects after using this breakthrough product: significant lessening of hair fall, abundant growth of tress, and the return of locks’ luster. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Apart from being effective, it’s a very safe solution, too. A local clinical study has proven that NOVUHAIR has no adverse side effects with continuous use. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Moreover, NOVUHAIR is not just for those who experience hair loss. Younger people, especially the millennials, can use it for maintenance or prevention if hair loss runs in the family. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Cory recommends NOVUHAIR to everyone, especially to those who want to maintain their hair the best way they can. For her, this globally-competitive natural product answers the needs of a discriminating, health-conscious public. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Born on August 11, the granddaughter of the late Philippine President Elpidio Quirino is an author, and television and radio host. She has been a strong advocate for natural health, beauty, and wellness for more than two decades. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Twenty years ago, it was as simple a goal as weight loss. But when I saw the dramatic effect it had on my vitality and complexion, I knew that this was the good path to take. For those who wish the same things I wanted then, this would be just as easy to embrace,” Cory recalls. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She wrote a series of best-seller books entitled “Forever Young”, which feature beauty and health tips as well as her own workout programs. Likewise, she also made a fitness video called “Cory Quirino’s Celebrity Workout for Beginners”. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For her, living in the 21st century has its challenges. She says: “The best way to live long and be well is to live a natural life.” </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Truly, for a natural woman like Cory, her crowning glory deserves nothing but a world-class natural remedy that is NOVUHAIR. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
NOVUHAIR is available at Mercury Drug and other leading drugstores nationwide. You may also have the product delivered right at your doorstep through Lazada at <a href="https://bit.ly/2Jc92Vk">https://bit.ly/2Jc92Vk</a> </div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Even though the word Autism is commonly heard, still there are several speculations about Autism and of the people affected by it. In the Philippines, it is estimated that there are around 1 million people living with Autism, yet not everybody can understand what it it’s like. The Autism spectrum Disorder is a condition where a person who is diagnosed with it will not have the same experiences but are noticed by the core symptoms. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Meet Calel, he is a 6-year old who was diagnosed with ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) at the age of four. A year ago, he discovered his love for animals and drawing and once he starts on a sketch pad he just cannot stop – his mother Marie, started posting his artwork on Facebook, when a friend commented that if in the case the drawing is produced to be printed on a t-shirt – he definitely would buy.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9fxosUjwCwLc1f_eMzA_AueybZjiQ5DZRv_uBz19h-akcN38Wy3NDwl4tPrmN7A6ARwGhtgCNtRBfawoSJwmnnWdVnhoJ8D3nuVGsd6ZA2Btr5B8jLieLSgZnLK-mXThr7XT8ArD540PL/s1600/Calel+in+Shirt+edited.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="768" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9fxosUjwCwLc1f_eMzA_AueybZjiQ5DZRv_uBz19h-akcN38Wy3NDwl4tPrmN7A6ARwGhtgCNtRBfawoSJwmnnWdVnhoJ8D3nuVGsd6ZA2Btr5B8jLieLSgZnLK-mXThr7XT8ArD540PL/s400/Calel+in+Shirt+edited.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After a few months, Marie launched Calel’s Wacky Art Shirts for 3 reasons: to help with Calel’s therapy needs, to develop the business to eventually be taken over by Calel (when he gets older) and to spread Autism awareness. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anybody would know that Occupational aned Speech therapy is costly, plus there are limited specialists in the Philippines. Kids with ASD need to attend SPED (Special Education) classes which can cost up to 60,000Php a year. For every shirt purchased, this will help Calel’s parents to make sure he gets the special treatments that he needs. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Calel’s future is still unclear at the age of 6, he shows signs of progress but it is hard to tell if he will be able to live a normal life or yet alone become employed, if this becomes a success, Calel’s Wacky Art Shirts may become his own business to handle. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With the first batch of t-shirts printed and distributed, people that order have started to ask about Calel and his condition – this helps Marie to talk about Autism and educate them on what Calel and their parents experience day-to-day including the highs and low.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">When Nestor Acala decided to head back home to Marawi after completing his Doctorate in Mathematics as a scholar of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST), he was full of hope for his would-be students at the Mindanao State University (MSU) – Marawi Campus.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, the siege that began in May of 2017 and lasted five months left severe damages that have taken aback thousands of lives in the area. Acala and his students, for one, had to put their respective growths on hold at the onset of the war. What was supposed to be a time for moving up turned into chaos in an instant.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The war is over and the rebuilding begins for Acala and his people. Thankfully, the government's Bangon Marawi Comprehensive Recovery, Reconstruction and Rehabilitation Program is going full swing to help rehabilitate infrastructures and restore peace and order in the city. In support of this national program, DOST through the Science Education Institute (SEI) is initiating DOST Bangon Marawi Program in Science and Technology Human Resource Development (STHRD) as an educational assistance strategy for students affected by the conflict.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Seen as a "long-term and sustainable solution" to uplift the lives of Marawi residents, the specialized program seeks to assist displaced students enrolled in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) courses at MSU Marawi as well as open opportunities for local S&T professionals to pursue advance degrees.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"With the heightened need to help rebuild Marawi and the greater Mindanao area, we shall provide opportunities for our children to continue their tertiary studies in STEM and achieve a future that is far removed from the effects of the war," said DOST Secretary Fortunato de la Peña before officials and students of MSU Marawi and Iligan campuses during the program launch held last 26 January.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He said the project is designed to help restore and rehabilitate the city's human and social infrastructures, especially in the S&T sector.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The DOST Bangon Marawi Program in STHRD has two scholarship components, namely, Sagip Mag-aaral, which is meant for third, fourth, or fifth year students enrolled in STEM courses at MSU Marawi; and Graduate Scholarships, which shall offer full-time and part-time programs for Master's and Doctorate studies. The Program assigns 225 slots for the undergraduate courses and 30—20 for MS and 10 Ph.D.—for graduate degrees.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
SEI Director, Dr. Josette Biyo, said the slots would follow the same list of priority degrees for its regular undergraduate scholarship programs as well as the same financial benefits.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"We feel that helping students get back to the university to pursue the dreams they had before the war will provide a more lasting impact to their lives and to the whole city—much like what Nestor had experienced when he was our scholar from his bachelor's to his doctorate degrees," Biyo said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Other key components of the DOST-SEI's initiative include the implementation of the Patriot Project, which, according to Biyo is, designed to "inculcate a deeper love for the country among the scholars," and the S&T Learning Assistance Program (STLAP) that focuses on capability development trainings and establishment of a Learning Resource Center at MSU Marawi.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"This is a comprehensive program that can help Marawi Cty bounce back, but the DOST correspondingly looks at this as concrete way to boost the S&T human resources of the whole archipelago. We hope that this sparks the rebuilding of Marawi and of the nation as a whole," de la Peña disclosed. (30)</div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Researches support and confirm that certain diets could offer genuine health benefits. As we celebrate the start of Lent, let us look at the health benefits that comes with the different practices we have in observing Lenten traditions.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b>Fasting</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The practice of refraining or limiting the consumption of food or drink for a period of time is observed during Lenten season. Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are obligatory days of fasting, but unknown to many, the digestion process has its disadvantages for the human health. According to the Harvard Medical School, the practice of fasting provides our body a rest from taking in toxins found in food and helps in significant weight loss if practiced properly.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Fasting has two common types. Regular, also called full fast, wherein only liquids are consumed, and partial fast, wherein consumption of solids is limited. The norm during this season is the partial fasting wherein an individual decreases food intake by eating one full meal or two smaller meals that are not equal to a full meal in a day.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">A word of caution from doctors, if you consider fasting this Lent, make sure that you have no preexisting conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, or high blood pressure, as fasting causes electrolyte abnormalities.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b>Abstinence from meat</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Abstinence from eating meat such as beef, pork, and chicken is observed during Fridays and Saturdays of Lent. Instead, fish and vegetables are chosen as substitutes. Fish such as salmon and tuna, is a good source of lean protein and omega-3 fatty acids that promote heart health.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Research proves that eating 1-2 servings of fish per week could help cut the risk of dying from heart diseases by 36%. By cutting down the consumption of red meat and processed meat, the risk of taking in less-beneficial fats and high sodium meat is also lessened.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Another popular substitute for meat is egg. An egg contains vitamins A, B, and D and a little saturated fat, which is about 1.5 grams . Nutrients found in the egg such as lutein is good for the eyes and choline good for the brain and nerve health.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">According to Harvard Medical school, consuming an egg a day is safe for people without preexisting conditions such as diabetes or high blood pressure. When eating scrambled eggs or omelets, opt for healthier choices to add to your eggs such as spinach, tomatoes, and mushrooms. Always remember that the saturated fat in butter, cheese, bacon, sausage, and bread could raise your blood cholesterol much more than the cholesterol present in your eggs.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Other protein sources, such as fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts and seeds could lack one or more fatty acids, so maintaining a proper balance and variety of alternative sources of protein is recommended.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Lenten season is not only a perfect time to take care of our spiritual health, this is also a perfect opportunity to focus on our physical health. With a positive attitude towards sacrifice and devotion, a healthier body and healthier relationship with the Almighty is within reach.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new", courier, monospace; text-align: start;">It’s no surprise that going organic may have multiple benefits that help us lead more healthy lives. Taking the more natural approach or ‘going green’ has even been proven to help conserve the environment and improve the lives of farmers. Indeed, the organic lifestyle is steadily increasing in popularity among more and more Filipinos. With the recent launch of an organic milk brand in the market, Filipino moms now have the option to provide their children with better nutrition that will help develop their minds and bodies.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The Innovation Fair is one of the highlights in the 3rd MIMAROPA Festival which gives the audience a unique and immersive experience through physical exhibits and accompanying information boards of DOST's flagship programs and services. Products from assisted micro- and community-based enterprises through the Small Enterprise Technology Upgrading Program (SETUP) were also available for display and purchase. Some of the products featured were Neneng's Peanut Butter, Nutrigold (a complementary food made from sesame, rice, and mungbean good for children aged 6-36 months), and NutriSnax (a healthier alternative to junkfood made from rice, corn, and mungbean).</span></div>

Due to inefficient processing methods of harvesting and drying, the company desperately needed an upgrade. It availed of DOST's financial assistance through the Innovation System Support Fund (ISSF) amounting to Php 1.54 million that provided for its acquisition of new technologies, consultancy services on food safety and productivity enhancement through the Manufacturing Productivity Extension (MPEX) program, and training on current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
DOST's help resulted to reduced drying cost by at least 20%, increased production volume by 150% and a 200% increase in sales. Herbanext was also able to produce consistent quality products and expand product range.</div>

The company currently studies 20 different medicinal herbs including Banaba (Lagerstroemia speciosa), Bitter Gourd (Momordica charantia), Cat's whisker (Orthosiphon stamineus), Five-leaved Chaste Tree (Vitex negundo), Ginger (Zingiber officinale), Green Chireta (Andrographis paniculata), Roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa), Wild Tea (Ehretia microphylla), and Turmeric (Curcuma longa). Likewise, it continues to work with DOST and other research institutions to create more herbal supplements and drugs under the brand name "Daily Apple".</div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Vegetables are known as healthy food. However, not all of them are. Some vegetables may contain heavy metals and bacteria that may cause sickness when ingested.<br /><br />In the study Lead, Cadmium and Bacterial Determination in Kangkong Sold in Selected Markets of Bacoor, the results show that there are fewer bacteria in kangkong (water spinach) sample that has been washed longer.<br /><br />The study investigated the levels of lead, cadmium, and bacterial contamination in kangkong (Ipomoea aquatic) sold in selected markets in Bacoor City. The researchers randomly collected fresh kangkong. The samples were tested after being washed for one minute, three minutes, and five minutes. Bacteria were cultured and incubated for 24 hours. The findings show that there are fewer bacteria on sample that has been washed for five minutes.<br /><br />"The study is very interesting bacause kangkong is consumed by most Filipinos. However, further studies and more samples are needed, so we can determine if what we are consuming is within acceptable limits," Joselito A. Carteciano, head of the information section of Department of Science and Technology-National Research Council of the Philippines, explains.<br /><br />The results of these studies were exhibited in the last 17th Conference of the Science Council of Asia which was jointly organized by the DOST-NRCP, the Science Council of Asia, and the Science Council of Japan.

Life can be challenging at times but there will always be a way to resolve these challenges and come out victorious. Having this in mind will be easy to keep your patience and continue to move forward.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Just like losing strands of your hair due to factors beyond your control, you too can do something. </div>
<br /><div style="text-align: justify;">
· Eat healthy – Eating the right food can alter your mood. Having low-level of folic acid in your body can cause anxiety, hence, food such as asparagus, avocado, salmon, and almond are recommended to fight stress hormones.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
· Stay calm – Listen to comforting music and reading feel-good stories can help switch you to a calm mood.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
· Exercise – Exercise releases endorphins that can relieve you from stress and anxiety.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
· Supplement –Taking in Vitamins such as B-complex can alter mood swings.</div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Don’t let your stress factors contribute to your hair loss. Letting yourself succumb to anxiety will definitely show up to your follicles and this can lead to more hair loss.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hectic schedules and pressure from work, not to mention the pollution and filth outside easily make you feel unease and, at times, irritable. Slow down a bit, have fun and relax. There’s no better way to begin with your mane. </div>
<br />Tip 1: The stroke of a comb can give you a soothing feeling while, at the same time, help unleash the natural oil of your hair.<br /><br />Tip 2: Stay away from getting pigtails, hair weaves, braids and tight hair rollers, which can pull and stress your hair.<br /><br />Tip 3: Avoid perming, straightening or coloring because they contain toxic chemicals that could cause damage to your locks.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Tip 4: Choose natural. Use NOVUHAIR topical solution. Apply liberal amount on to your scalp and hair. Massage it gently for -10 minutes to help permeate deeply from root to tip. NOVUHAIR is packed with 19 natural ingredients that help promote growth, nourishment and rejuvenation of your tress.</span></div>

<span style="text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Senate on Monday, Nov. 27, approved on final reading a bill which seeks to institutionalize benefits and incentives for scientists, engineers, and innovators of Filipino descent residing overseas to encourage them to stay in the country and work for national development</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Senate Bill No. 1533, also known as the Balik Scientist Act, was principally authored and sponsored by Sen. Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV. It was approved on third and final reading with 13 affirmative votes, no negative vote and no abstention.<br /><br />Senate President Aquilino Pimentel III and Senators Juan Miguel Zubiri, Joel Villanueva, Richard Gordon, Grace Poe, Sherwin Gatchalian, JV Ejercito and Cynthia Villar also served as co-sponsors of the measure.<br /><br />Aquino said the measure would institutionalize the Balik Scientist Program, which was first launched in 1975 "to bring back Filipino scientists, engineers, and technology entrepreneurs to work in various fields, including heath, food and agriculture, information and communications technology (ICT), and even alternative energy."<br /><br />"It is about time that we institutionalized and strengthened the Balik Scientist Program so that more brilliant Filipino minds residing abroad can help our nation move forward into prosperity," he said.<br /><br />Among the benefits, incentives and privileges to be made available to Balik scientists under the program are tax and duty exemptions to importation of professional equipment and materials, exemption from licensing or permitting requirements, free medical and accident insurance "covering the duration of the engagement awarded by the Department of Science and Techonology (DOST), reimbursement of expenses for baggage related to scientific projects, and even exemption from "renouncing their oath of allegiance to the country where they took the oath."<br /><br />Grantees can participate in Grants-in-Aid (GIA) research and development projects of the DOST with an initial lump sum research subsidy of P500,000 for short-term program, P500,000 to P2,000,000 for the medium-term program, and P2,000,000 for the long-term program, in accordance with relevant government rules and regulations and the need of the program involved.<br /><br />The benefits also include special working and non-working visas, a round-trip business class airfare from a foreign country to the Philippines "exempt from local travel tax," and DOST-subsidized visa applications.<br /><br />Aquino said the bill sets different incentives and benefits for Balik scientists who would either work for the Philippines under a short-term program (minimum of 15 days to maximum of 6 months), a medium-term program (more than 6 months but not exceeding 1 year) or long- term program (1 to 3 years, subject to DOST renewal).<br /><br />The bill also mandated additional benefits and rewards for "long-term" Balik scientists, such as the grant of special non-immigrant visas to the scientist, his or her spouse and their dependents as well as exemptions from requirements like immigration clearance certificate, alien employment permits, and payment of multiple entry fees.<br /><br />Under the bill, long-term Balik scientists awardees would enjoy relocation benefits, such as support in securing job opportunities for the spouse of the awardee, and admission support for the children of awardees in preferred schools, relocation allowance and monthly housing or accommodation allowance, and funding for the establishment and development of a facility or laboratory.<br /><br />According to Aquino, the array of benefits and incentives aim to help address the lack of scientists working in the Philippines, caused by their exodus for greener pastures abroad.<br /><br />During the public hearings held by the committee on the bill, it was discovered that the Philippines has only 189 scientists per million population, far from the ideal target of 380 per million population.<br /><br />Aquino said that the country "pales in comparison" with other countries. For instance, he said, South Korea and the United States have 5,300 and 3,500 scientists per million, respectively, while Malaysia has 2,000 scientists per million.<br /><br />"We cannot stress enough that science and technology, engineering, and innovation can help solve some of our nation's biggest problems, like disaster preparedness, effective delivery of healthcare and other social services, hunger and nutrition, poverty and unemployment," Aquino ended.<br /><br /><span style="font-size: x-small;">Source: <a href="http://newsbytes.ph/2017/11/28/senate-passes-bill-institutionalizing-balik-scientist-program-of-dost/">http://newsbytes.ph/2017/11/28/senate-passes-bill-institutionalizing-balik-scientist-program-of-dost/</a></span></span><div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; text-align: start;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; text-align: start;">Desperate times call for desperate measures. When you’re losing tufts of hair or seeing bald patches on your scalp, it’s but natural to feel the need to do something about it. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Will you tell a friend or go immediately to a doctor? Will you hide the “shame” under the guise of a wig? While it’s quite hard to decide, there’s no way but people still find themselves falling in line over-the-counter (O.T.C.). And what’s on their hands? Chemical-based hair loss products. Here are some of the reasons why they impulsively buy these items:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">a.) They claim to be effective.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">b.) They say the healing effects are felt quickly.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">c.) They are widely available.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">d.) They appear to be cheaper.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">e.) They claim to be safe.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9p0ksZZpjJg6ZLxpVORP0j_zQl4LsONMlSDP6Jh92n7JmjLBGysIeBnDBEPDEFYPj0i7cmVFcUvMXsrcqD98lTMKWVafeL8rkFM5_Votj_S9qaMwg-MOfw0NlIkyP5SoZzHCtCsru0Pvp/s1600/22641948_1631490160229194_806427133_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9p0ksZZpjJg6ZLxpVORP0j_zQl4LsONMlSDP6Jh92n7JmjLBGysIeBnDBEPDEFYPj0i7cmVFcUvMXsrcqD98lTMKWVafeL8rkFM5_Votj_S9qaMwg-MOfw0NlIkyP5SoZzHCtCsru0Pvp/s400/22641948_1631490160229194_806427133_o.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Sounds tempting, though, be wary enough that once you delve into the nitty-gritty of these products available to allegedly promote hair growth, you’ll see why they may not exactly be a perfect fit. These are some of the negative possibilities when you use chemical treatments:</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; text-align: start;"></span><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; text-align: start;"></span><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; text-align: start;"></span><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; text-align: start;"></span><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; text-align: start;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; text-align: start;">1. Serious side effects like tightness in the chest, difficulty in breathing, rapid heartbeat (tachycardia), and swelling of the hands and feet. These are actually some of the possible side effects of the hair loss drug Minoxidil, which is said to cease hair loss and promote hair growth.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; text-align: start;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; text-align: start;">2. Most chemical products say they can “treat” alopecia, but reading the fine print will lead you to discover that it actually just slows the progress of hair loss. Little is said as well about these chemical treatments actually promoting hair growth.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; text-align: start;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; text-align: start;">3. These products or “treatments” usually contain a variety of chemicals that may or may not cause allergic reactions. It pays to check the labels. Some chemical-based products may actually be presenting the side effects as the main effects. Let the internet help you on your personal research.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; text-align: start;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; text-align: start;">There may be safer and effective alternatives out there, but NOVUHAIR is a stand out among the rest. It has 19 natural ingredients—standardized herbal extracts, essential oils and co-factor nutrients that work in synergy and have been clinically proven to help stop the progression of hair loss, aid in stimulating hair growth, and reduce excessive hair shedding. </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; text-align: start;">Striking a life balance is no easy task to do. It requires hard work and dedication which sometimes can be strenuous to achieve. Can you imagine how overtaxing it is to juggle between your career and providing for your loved ones?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; text-align: start;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
Studies have shown that stress is commonly caused by interrelationships, such as having to deal with work issues and family-related complications. If left unresolved over time, it could lead to immune deficiency, which later on, might cause other parts of our body to show signs of disruption like hair loss</div>
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; text-align: start;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
Many of us could attest to that. It’s like always autumnal equinox whenever we experience chronic hair fall, most especially at the prime of stress. At its peak, our white blood cells attack no less than the follicles, thus causing alopecia. What’s more, anxiety could drive your mane into a prolonged resting phase, which is called telogen effluvium.</div>
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; text-align: start;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
Stress experienced by the body or beyond our coping resources could trigger hair loss symptoms, which, if not addressed properly, could result to early baldness. Worried about this? Fret no more. You can beat it simply by relaxing, eating or flexing some muscles. </div>
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; text-align: start;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
Never underestimate the power of sleep. If you feel that you are over your head in dealing with anxieties, choose to rest it off for a while and recharge.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Last September 29, 2017 we saw the breed of young and intellectual minds a eight groups of students presented their own technological solutions. With the theme “New Technologies to Improve the Productivity of Vegetable Farmers”, the East-West Seed Innovation Olympics encourages students to tackle real-world problems experienced by local farmers and challenge them to come up with innovative technology solutions to help improve farmer’s productivity.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">As an agriculture graduate myself, I was so amazed by these students. We might be tackling the same farmer’s dilemma but several years ago, when I was a student our approach to solving the problems was so much different by how these students presented their proposed solutions. Yes! Through the use of digital technology. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">The Innovation Olympics 2017 was conceptualized by East-West Seed Companyin celebration of its 35th Year Anniversary. As part of its core values, that is, “Learning and Innovation”. The goal was to involve more people in the mission of serving smallholder farmers by harnessing new technologies to improve the productivity in vegetable farming.</span></div>

</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; text-align: start;">I am a big fan of noodles and Japanese noodles in particular because of its unique taste and flavor which suits the picky eater me. But since I live in the province, at times just to satisfy my cravings I have to travel all the way to the Metro and endure the long queues at Japanese restos.</span></div>
<br style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; text-align: start;" />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Well I am so glad now because recently Ramen Nagi Manila opened its 16th restaurant at Nuvali. Oh! What a relief, I no longer need to travel for hours and their new place is somewhat more convenient for me to go. I can be there anytime to satiate my appetite more often.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; text-align: start;">What I like most with Ramen Nagi is that you can customized your ramen, any which way you want. On your table there is a ready check-list with boxes and description that you can just tick. And they will have your ramen prepared the way you want it. But if you’re a first-timer and not sure about anything, just check the “Chef Recommendation” box to go for the standard way, their chef will take care of it and next time, you’ll know which taste to adjust.</span></div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; text-align: start;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; text-align: start;">In the medical world, proper use of words is highly called for because a simple mistake could complicate things usually unwanted for the patients. Because this field has full of jargons that mostly are too technical to not easily be sifted and digested by the general public, putting them in a layman’s term is indeed helpful.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; text-align: start;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
A good example of which are the words “side effect” and “main effect”. These, are more often than not, interchanged or used instead of the other. Doing so is not just wrong but also dangerous to the people’s health. </div>
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; text-align: start;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
A side effect of any substance pertains to the result beyond the main or primary action that is intended by the physician giving drug prescription. The doctor, likewise, foresees this extra consequence. </div>
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; text-align: start;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
For instance, the patient might not be conscious of the side effect of unwanted hair growth elsewhere on the body while using vasodilator drug called Minoxidil to treat hypertension. The physician, nevertheless, is very well aware about it, as well as other implications, such as burning or irritation of the eye, itching, and redness or irritation at the treated area. By and large, doctors suggest that patients should ignore the side effects unless serious and often alert the sick persons about their likelihood. </div>
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; text-align: start;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
But not all the side effects are boon. They are bane, too, hence, they are often used as a therapeutic benefit in the pharmaceutical industry. Like the Minoxidil which, initially was developed to treat high blood pressure. People taking it reported an unusual side effect: Hair began to grow on various parts of their bodies. In this case, the downside of the drug is controlled and employed for a beneficial and therapeutic effect judiciously. It is noted that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved prescription of two percent (2%) Minoxidil topical solution for hair loss in men in 1988 and for women in 1992.</div>
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; text-align: start;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
An adverse effect, on the other hand, is identified as an outcome wherein the reaction occurs over and beyond the main and wanted action of a medicine. Both the physician and the patient don’t know about it as a consequence of taking such treatment. It can happen simply due to incorrect dosage. Undesirably, this is very harmful as it can exacerbate the prognosis of the disease. Occasionally, if the adverse effect is too serious, there might be a need for hospitalization.</div>
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; text-align: start;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
Just like the Sildenafil Citrate— a medication used to treat erectile dysfunction and pulmonary arterial hypertension. Its most common adverse reactions (≥ 2%) include headache, flushing, dyspepsia, abnormal vision, nasal congestion, back pain, myalgia, nausea, dizziness and rash. Patients should seek emergency treatment if an erection lasts over four hours. Patients should stop Sildenafil Citrate and seek medical care if a sudden decrease or loss of hearing and also that of vision in one or both eyes.</div>
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; text-align: start;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
Since side effects paired with adverse effects can be fatal and need to be reversed or given antidote immediately, a very extra cautious effort not to interchange them with the main effects in the prescription process must be always observed. After all, it’s the lives of patients at stake here. </div>
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; text-align: start;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
It’s ironic to note that people who seek treatments for their ailments or to prolong their lives become sicker or morbidly end up six feet underground simply because of such medical error. So, it’s still best to deal with health conditions like hair loss the natural way, especially with NOVUHAIR that offers the safe and natural effects. </div>
