NACHO FIGUERAS Full Name: Nacho Figueras Relationship Status: Married to Delfina Blaquier Birthday: March 4, 1977 Biography: Born in 1977, this Argentine polo player is ranked one of the top 100 polo players in the world and is the face of Ralph Lauren’s Black Label line. Figueras is the captain of the Black Watch Polo team and models on the side. He has been playing polo since age 17 and has been asked to donate his polo equipment to the American Museum of Natural History because of his success. Married to photographer Delfina Blaquier, Figueras splits his time between New York City, Palm Beach, Fla., and Argentina.

How Nacho Figueras Became the Most Famous Polo Player in the World - The Sport of Kings Ignacio Figueras was not to the saddle born. Unlike many of his fellow players, he wasn’t raised on a family ranch, but rather on a small farm near Buenos Aires. One of his father’s closest friends was a polo player named Lucas Monteverde.

Health & Wellness How to Stay Safe this Summer in the Middle of a Pandemic The pandemic has created a lot of stress and fears, and has put summer plans on hold. Dr. Ofir answers some of the more common questions parents may have about summer camp, outdoor activities and traveling.

What questions can I ask to make sure the summer camp is safe and following the proper guidelines? It’s important to consider a lot of factors when it comes to summer camps. Parents should make sure the summer camp is following CDC guidelines, and they should ask questions about their screening protocols before allowing their child to go to the camp. Parents should also make sure all campers and camp staff are wearing masks at all times, do not share objects, that they practice social distancing and enforce handwashing. The camp should also have a strict sanitation protocol of all high-contact areas. It’s also very important to ask about their action plan in case a student or counselor gets sick. Another important factor to consider is the number of children enrolled in summer camp. The smaller the group, the safer it will be for your child. 16

Should I keep my summer travel plans with the family?

Is there other adv should follow dur

It all depends on where you are going, and the mode of transportation you are using. We recommend you look at the CDC website to see if the area you plan to visit is considered a hot spot. There are a lot of places in the country and outside the United States that are still experiencing a lot of COVID cases.

We highly recomme main up to speed w vaccines and contin annual checkups. all over Florida are llow CDC guideline child safe. It is impo creating another ty this pandemic.

Renting a car is considered low risk. You should make sure the vehicle has been sanitized before getting in with your family. The biggest risk to consider with a road trip is rest stops. If you must stop at a rest stop, you should wear your mask and wash your hands or use hand sanitizer before getting back in the car.

We want to reassur in line with the new extra precautions w patient care areas constantly undergo to avoid the spread

Air travel has a higher risk because you are confined in the same space with other people and it’s difficult to practice social distancing. If you must travel by plane, always wear a mask, disinfect the areas you are touching, and wash your hands. Is there other advice parents should follow during these times?

What other outdoor activities are considered safe during the pandemic? As parents, you have the responsibility to outweigh the risks of any activity you decide to do with your family. Although going for walks in the park is considered low risk, while you keep your distance and wear a mask, we do not recommend allowing your child to use the playground. Playground equipment poses a high risk on your child because it has high-contact surfaces like slides, swings, and monkey bars that are not sanitized regularly. Going to the beach is also considered a lower risk activity because it’s outdoors. But you should still make sure the beach is not crowded, and practice social distancing. It’s best to go in a small group, and ensure that your child is next to you at all times. If the beach starts to get crowded, that’s your cue to leave. We recommend that you avoid going to your community pool right now. It is also considered a high-risk area because it attracts larger crowds, and it has high-contact surfaces. If you choose to go to your community pool, make sure to bring your own

How do I get my child to wear a mask? Wearing a mask in the middle of summer is very challenging for adults – and even more so for children. As with any new behavior with children: prepare them, practice and reward them for keeping their mask on. You should explain to your child why wearing a mask will keep them safer. Make a game out of it and put the mask on their stuffed animals or dolls, pretend play and make them masked super heroes. Practice inside your home first for short periods of time. As a parent, you have to be a role model and wear your mask as well. Remember that children under two should not be wearing masks.

Alert

Five ways to reduce your risk of COVID-19 over the holiday weekend and beyond.

JULY2021

1. Stay Outdoors Your best bet for reducing the risk of transmission is meeting up outside, say Cinti and Malosh. “It’s also becoming clear the virus transmits most effectively in indoor settings. There, close contact between infected people and inadequate ventilation are more likely,” says Malosh in a recent article for The Conversation. Cinti agrees and says that gathering outdoors with the recommended six feet of distancing between people should be safe. That includes walking and hiking together. SEE ALSO: Keeping Our Patients Safe During COVID-19

2. Pack a Picnic Implementing a bring your own food or drink policy is the safest way to enjoy a meal together, says Cinti. Sharing the usual communal BBQ fare will take a little more finessing. “When serving from a dish of food, use sanitizer before and after fixing a plate. Pass bottles or cans of beer or soda with a napkin. But no sharing of utensils or cups,” he says. Another alternative is to have one person, with washed hands and wearing a mask, pre-portion out plates.

3. Play on the Water Cinti says swimming and other water activities should be low risk. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says there is currently no evidence that COVID-19 can spread in pools or other bodies of water. However, care should be taken when lounging by the pool or on the beach. “Again, outdoor events are ok if socially distanced.” If you can’t stay six feet apart, wear a mask but don’t wear a mask in the water, he adds.

4. Wash Your Hands and Wear a Mask Malosh and Cinti both stress the importance of good hand hygiene and mask wearing, especially since, according to the CDC, up to 40% of transmission may be happening before people feel sick. “Face masks and hand hygiene reduce the effective contact, or the chance the virus is transmitted if there is contact,” says Malosh. Wearing a mask and washing hands are especially important to remember when nature calls. “Bathrooms are places were there can be high amounts of virus on surfaces and in the atmosphere,” says Cinti. He recommends washing hands before and after and spending as little time in the bathroom as necessary.

5. Socialize at a Distance Staying as far apart as is practical is important for reducing the risk of transmitting COVID-19. With that in mind, Cinti views eating or drinking inside a bar or restaurant as a risky proposition. “You have to remove your mask to eat and drink, you’re often inside for more than an hour, and transmission can occur even farther than six feet away.” Outdoor patio seating may be a safer proposition. Both Cinti and Malosh recommend keeping gatherings small and outdoors. As always, anyone who is feeling sick should stay home away from other people. And while people at higher risk of severe disease, such as those over 65 or with a suppressed immune system should be especially vigilant, everyone should do their part. Says Cinti, “The advice I’m giving here is relevant to everyone. We should wear masks, wash hands and keep a distance whether you are young or old.”

Myth: I’ve already had COVID-19, so I don’t need to get vaccinated. This is FALSE.

Myth: People with underlying conditions shouldn’t get vaccinated. This is FALSE.

The Center for Disease Control (CDC) recommends that those who have had COVID-19 get the vaccine. “There is preliminary evidence that the vaccine offers better protection than having had the virus,” says Dr. Cunningham. “Plus, it’s sometimes hard to know whether you actually had COVID-19. People who had COVID-19 in the early days, before we had laboratory testing available, were being diagnosed based upon symptoms and not a test. Also, some

People who have underlying conditions—like diabetes and heart disease, for example— are at a high risk for getting complications from COVID-19, so it’s even more reason why they should get vaccinated, says Dr. Cunningham. Talk with your doctor who is helping you manage the condition if you have concerns.

Myth: The vaccines aren’t safe because they were developed quickly. This is FALSE. “The COVID-19 vaccines themselves were developed quickly, but the clinical trials, which examine safety and efficacy, weren’t rushed at all,” says Dr. Cunnwingham. “Safety was not compromised in any way. What happened quickly was finding the vaccine to test. In the 1980s, it took scientists so long to do this, but thanks to scientific advances we’ve made over the years, we can find viruses so quickly.” Also, he adds, COVID-19 is similar to other coronaviruses we’ve seen in humans, like MERS and SARS, so there was previous research that could be used to speed up the process.

MODA shion Minifaldas para combatir el Verano.

El frío, repleto de glamour, belleza y moda, invade las pasarelas de Europa. Pero las bajas temperaturas, la nieve y la lluvia que seguramente lleguen no son un inconveniente para los diseñadores que proponen vestir el próximo otoñoinvierno a las mujeres con cortísimas minifaldas, pequeño minishort, escuetos vestidos, ligeras camisas de tirantes o pantalones pitillos. Al parecer, el ahorro en metros de telas y la ausencia de exceso auguran una época difícil económicamente y llena de interrogantes por el ambiente prebélico. Sobre tacones imposibles de doce centímetros, las tendencias presentadas inicialmente en Cibeles se debaten entre la austeridad y un lujo reprimido, donde el negro se impone por mayoría absoluta y permite compartir su autoridad con una tímida paleta de color. Las pautas adelantadas apuntan siluetas insinuantes y el regreso del pantalón pitillo o recto para cualquier ocasión. Junto a sofisticados tejidos tecnológicos, como el téncel, reaparecen con fuerza las pieles –visón, zorro, napasy los tejidos naturales como terciopelos, gasas, panas, crepes, fieltro, tweed, viscosa y algodón, en las colecciones de Juan Duyos, Antonio Pernas, Fernando lemoniez, Javier Larrainzar, Miguel Palacio, Elio Berhanyer, Devota & Lomba, Ángel Schlesser, Roberto Torreta, Roberto Verino, Jesús del Pozo y Ágatha Ruiz de la Prada.

¿Qué se lleva? Delicados vestidos plisados, túnicas de aire romano, bermudas con vuelta, faldas con vuelo, saharianas ajustadas, pantalones masculinos, chaquetas entalladas y blusones de seda con generoso escote son las prendas estrellas de la nueva temporada. LO MÁS NOVEDOSO. Para esta temporada, los diseñadores se han inspirado en clásicos diseñadores como Christian Dior, Yves Saint Laurent o Rochas, al mismo tiempo que han renovado heredados estilos como el bohemio, las túnicas griegas, el “look” safari o el atuendo para salir a navegar, eso sí todos muy femeninos. SÍ SE LLEVA. Las guerreras militares. Los caftanes de algodón blanco. Los bolsos, “tops” y vestidos de ganchillo. Marcar la cintura con lazadas y cinturones. Bolsos de mano. Los gorros de paja. Las bermudas con vuelta. Los pantalones de cintura baja. Las faldas de vuelo tipo años 50. NO SE LLEVA. Los estampados con motivos marineros como anclas, barcos o velas. Las camisas con dibujos geométricos. Las piezas de inspiración oriental. El estilo rockero: cazadoras de cuero con remaches dorados o plata y vaqueros. Los vestidos con flores hawaianas.
