April 7, 2020 - Latest: What has happened to markets this year? by Darius McDermott
23rd October 2013
Ashmore head of research Jan Dehn has continued his critique of global attitudes to emerging market economies and their misplaced concerns about emerging market debt this time using China as an example.
In a note, Dehn notes that in the third quarter, China grew 7.8% year on year, FX reserves set a new all-time high, and the Chinese currency appreciated to the strongest level since 1993. "China's trade surplus was substantial, but smaller than last month. While markets tend to focus on flow variables – such as trade balance numbers – it is the stock variables – such as the level of FX reserves – that really matter. Stocks show that Emerging Markets (EM) are strong. By contrast, developed economies are extremely weak. Political fragilities only exacerbate the weakness," the note says.
Dehn argues that the solid domestic demand story in China is reflected in moderately higher than expected credit growth. "The volume of new loans rose to CNY 787bn in September versus CNY 675bn expected. Broad money (M2) expanded faster than narrower money aggregates (M0 and M1), which shows that financial intermediation is increasing. The share of on-balance sheet lending rose to 56% from 45% last month. While the ratio of on and off balance sheet lending to total credit is volatile the direction of travel is consistent with the authorities' objective of moving away from in-transparent financing of the various tiers of government".
He also says that the increase inflation to 3.1% in September from 2.6% in August is mostly due to weather affected food prices, so he expects inflation to be contained.
Dehn then makes his argument for why narrow surpluses are a major vulnerability and three reasons why it is wrong.
"Sceptics argue that narrower external surpluses are a major vulnerability in Emerging Markets. This view entirely misses the fact that many EM countries have large stocks of FX reserves, the result of many years of accumulated external surpluses in the past.
"These reserve cushions give EM countries the ability to manage their currencies despite a gradual reduction in external surpluses. China, more so than any other country, illustrates this fact. Sure, China's trade surplus narrowed, but does anyone seriously doubt China's ability to manage the value of its own currency".
Three reasons
1) "Firstly, EM should be running deficits! Emerging Markets economies should be capital importers, not capital exporters. Capital should flow to EM because EM countries have lower capital-labour ratios than developed economies. Capital inflows would help EM to finance the investment required to sustain their economic convergence with developed economies. The gradual erosion of current account deficits is desirable, not something to be afraid of.
2) "Secondly, EM current account positions should gradually decline over the next few years due to macroeconomic policies pursued by heavily indebted economies, notably the US. Inflation and currency weakness in the US will cause currency appreciation in EM regardless of whether EM likes it or not. EM countries must transition from export-led to domestic-led growth as a result
3) "Finally, current account deficits only become a problem if they cannot be financed. Global capital markets will finance EM deficits if warranted by the quality of investment opportunities in each individual EM country. EM countries are, in most cases, likely to pursue investment friendly policies for political reasons, that is, their domestic populations will continue to demand growth and stability. As this summer has shown, EM countries are generally willing to act if their external balances deteriorate for the wrong reasons, such as temporary bouts of excess domestic demand. Adjust in the so-called 'Fragile Five' EM countries is already having a positive effect.

Projectarian has teamed up with the lovely, local Charlie Loves to bring you an adorable oceanic giveaway! You can win this pair of cuties for your most special kidlet by entering on Instagram.
As you may know, I've just released the pattern for Apollo the Octopus and Charlene is launching her beautiful new softie, the Twinkle doll. As Insta-buddies, we decided to team up and celebrate our shiny new additions together by giving away this pair of cuties to one lucky winner! I started following Charlie Loves on Instagram when I first stumbled upon her gorgeous unicorn doll (IG algorithm knows I love me some unicorns) and I'm so excited to be collaborating with a fellow South African artist who has a great product that deserves to be seen! See the #MyTwinkleDoll hashtag for more.
Charlie Loves' new Twinkle doll is ' the most heavenly and magical friend, one like no other. Up in the sky, in a secret little village, Twinkle dolls come together in a celebration of love and play. Each so precious, each so different, with hearts so pure. Filled with delight and glee, together they glow as millions of stars. As the night comes, little Twinkle dolls shine bright, they make a wish on a star and holding on tight, they float past the magical rainbows that color their hair. Bouncing off soft clouds of candyfloss, they find their way down to little arms who will always love them dear; a twinkle doll for your little star…'
Can we take a moment to just feast our eyes on these magical little gems?
(photos above by Charlie Loves)
Along with this magical girl, you can also snag yourself a friendly little bundle of tentacles.
This little sweetie is a prototype I made while designing Apollo's pattern. He's quite a bit smaller than the giant sea monster, with floppy tentacles and smiley, shining eyes. Together, these two make a bubbly bundle of fun!
Mini Apollo is very clingy and protective over his mer-friend.
Your prize Twinkle doll, unlike a regular one, comes with a slip-on floral mermaid tail and metallic gold bikini top, plus a twinkling white frock. This girl is set for all land and sea adventures!
The official Twinkle doll launch is tomorrow, the 28th of June. Let's show Charlie Loves the love she deserves and support her honorable cause: Her dolly business serves to up-skill women in townships by teaching them to sew her dolls and earning an income at the same time, PLUS a portion of sales goes to non-profit organizations for children. Her dolls are not only unique and beautiful but 100% handmade, ethically produced and socially significant. How about that?!
These ocean friends can't wait to meet their new person! Head over to Instagram now to enter the #OceanFriendsGiveaway!

Despite having given birth just a few months ago, Candice Swanepoel is looking better than ever. On Friday, the South African model took to her Instagram Stories to share two revealing snaps of herself sans top, showing off her incredible post-baby figure.
In one of the photos, the 30-year-old Victoria's Secret model is featured completely topless against a blue backdrop. The model appears to have been moving when the photo was shot, causing it to be a bit blurry, which gives the photo an artsy effect. Swanepoel's blonde hair is falling onto her face and is swishing around her — as if she'd just flipped it for the photo. She has her side to the camera, using her right arm to cover her chest while having the other hand over the arm, hugging herself.
The next photo sees the model with her back to the camera, rocking barely-there satin shorts that put her booty on full display. Similarly to the first post, the black and white photo has an artistic quality to it. The model continues to hug herself, offering her bare back to the camera. Swanepoel's hair is once again blurry in this shot, suggesting she'd been moving while the image was captured.
This isn't the first time that Swanepoel shared a topless — yet artsy — photo of herself. As recently as December 22, the model took to the popular social media platform to post a black and white photo of herself, covering her breasts with her hands.
The post, which she shared with her 13.1 million Instagram followers, garnered more than 265,000 likes and more than 1,000 comments in relatively short order. As per usual, users of the social media platform who are fans of the model took to the comments section to gush over her beauty and her looks.
"The most beautiful woman alive," one fan wrote.
"This is natural beauty!!! Admiration from me!!! Black and withe photo beautiful for this. Perfect body!!!" another one chimed in.
Swanepoel gave birth to baby Ariel in June. The baby boy is her second child, both of whom she shares with the Brazilian model Hermann Nicoli. As the Daily Mail pointed out, the two have reportedly split up in November, five months after the birth of their second child. The two met in Paris in 2005, when she was 17 and he was 23. However, it is unclear whether the two have in fact broken up — or if they are just taking a bit of a break.

Laser treatment iPixel ™ is recommended for all those who want to refresh the skin and get rid of imperfections. Ipixel works against: wrinkles, acne scars and post-traumatic scars, stretch marks.
It helps with blemishes and other skin problems. iPIXEL is a laser treatment for scar removal and stretch marks, bringing instant results in improving the quality of the skin in a relatively non-invasive manner. Removing stretch marks and scars has never been easier! The laser penetrates both subcutaneous and dermal cells effectively stimulating the skin to repair and renew.
Therapy is an excellent solution for patients expecting an instant and non-invasive way to improve the condition of the skin
The new technology, which is used by the iPixel ™ laser, consists in replacing one laser beam with a set of dozens of microbes with a well-controlled depth of penetration into the epidermis and dermis. The Pixel laser matrix has been constructed in such a way as to create a set of points (pixels) - thermal micro-injuries - leaving intact "bridges" of tissue, specific reservoirs of healthy cells to accelerate the reconstruction of the area. The effect on the short convalescence also applies to specialist skin cooling equipment, the time required for complete skin regeneration is about 28 days.
from 400zł
Thank you for reservation. Our consultant will contact you soon to confirm your booking.
With its patented technology, one laser beam is replaced by a group of microbeams of energy with strictly controlled power of penetration. This results in thermal microtraumas, between which there is unaffected tissue. This process makes the healing after surgery very fast and the skin is strongly stimulated to rebuild. Compared to traditional laser dermabrasion, laser light is applied in a much more precise, more accurate way. This causes the formation of a uniform microthermal zones. The laser penetrates both subcutaneous and dermis effectively stimulating skin to repair and renewal.
The procedure takes about 10-45min. During the procedure you will feel the feeling of gentle burning sensation.
Arrange a visit
Pixel is a treatment for all those struggling with:
Arrange a visit
The first results of the treatment are visible within a few days of treatment. They rely mainly on improving skin tone and its condition. With time, the positive effect of the treatment is damming up, this happens through the stimulation of collagen fibers in the deep layers of the skin, leading in effect to stimulation of the processes of regeneration and repair.
This treatment exfoliates dead skin cells and leads to complete skin renewal. It improves its appearance and condition. It affects the reduction of discoloration, scars, wrinkles, stretch marks, or pores.
Already one treatment brings a big change and improves skin condition. Best results are observed after a series of 3-5 treatments – performed within 2-4 weeks. The effects can be seen almost immediately, but the full regeneration process takes from 1-3 months. The procedure can be successfully combined with mesotherapy with hyaluronic acid, thermolifting or other rejuvenating treatments.
The treatment does not require special recovery. Immediately after PIXEL treatment there is mild irritation to the face and micro-damages may appear. The skin is red, dry and pinched, which is accompanied by burning. Within a few days you may experience peeling. The skin should be strongly moisturized and protected against the sun's rays using high filters.

Point Betsie is a dynamic mosaic of shifting sand dunes, interdunal wetlands, boreal forest and sandy Lake Michigan beaches continuously impacted by natural stresses such as wind and wave action, ice scouring, and currents moving along the shore of the lake. This globally imperiled open dune habitat provides a place where threatened species such as Pitcher's thistle, fascicled broomrape and the Lake Huron locust can thrive. Dune vegetation includes marram grass, beach pea and hoary puccoon with forested islands of balsam fir, paper birch, red oak and creeping juniper. Peaceful ponds among the dunes swell and shrink in sync with water levels in Lake Michigan, attracting migrating birds such as the semipalmated plover. Cedar waxwings flit through pockets of forest while spotted sandpiper and killdeer scurry over the sand.
Why TNC Selected This Site
Point Betsie became a preserve through the generosity of Steve and Connie Zetterberg. In 1988 the Zetterbergs donated the original 71 acres of virgin sand dunes which became the Zetterberg Preserve at Point Betsie—property that had been in their family for generations. After having been preserved by the Zetterberg family, Point Betsie is now maintained by TNC and cherished by generations of Michiganians.
The dunes at Pt. Betsie are part of the largest freshwater dune system in the world, which covers 275,000 acres of Lake Michigan shoreline. The Pt. Betsie dunes provide critical habitat for rare species, including Pitcher's thistle. They have also been identified as a potential nesting site for piping plover as the population of this endangered species recovers. The Nature Conservancy works with partners through the Michigan Dune Alliance to conserve this rare coastal ecosystem.
What TNC Has Done/Is Doing
This project exemplifies the "site to system" approach of the overall Great Lakes Project as there are now a wide variety of landscapes being restored by a range of partners that includes state and federal agencies, non-profit groups, and regional land conservancies. Since 2006 when the Meijer Foundation first began funding the Lake Michigan Dune Restoration Project, seasonal crews have removed invasive species such as baby's breath and spotted knapweed from our Zetterberg Preserve at Pt. Betsie and partner lands along the eastern Lake Michigan shoreline.
From an innocuous beginning of volunteer workdays pulling baby's-breath at the Zetterberg Preserve at Point Betsie, the Eastern Lake Michigan project has grown to encompass 505 miles of ecological restoration from the Indiana border to the Mackinac Bridge. In 2009 TNC staff and volunteers planted native marram grass plugs at Pt. Betsie as an initial step to restore vegetation on walking trails through the dunes. The trails provide a route for new invasive species introductions and can cause erosion. Leveraging generous funding from the Meijer Corporation, we secured stewardship grants from Sustain Our Great Lakes (National Fish and Wildlife Foundation) in both 2010 and 2011 for invasive species control efforts along the entire Eastern Lake Michigan coast.

Many of you have been asking if we are closing on our house yet. I mean, we should be right? Didn't I say about a month ago that we were only two weeks away from living there? Yes, I did. And quite honestly I counted my chickens before they hatched. If I'm being completely honest, I'm having the hardest time being patient in this process. We have not closed on our house yet and we still don't have a date. We thought for sure we would get a date finalized for THIS WEEK, but we got an email from our lender today telling us it would be a few more days for the paperwork to process before we can even speculate about a date. It's quite frustrating because the house is finished and we've already done our initial walk thru. Everything is ready for us to live there but we're still just waiting on paperwork.
No one told me buying your FIRST house was such a LONG process! I'm so ready to be in our home and start making it our own. I'm ready to paint, move in, and start living in our new house. But, here I am. Waiting, trying very hard to learn through this process. I know we'll get there eventually and it will be perfect timing, but I'm just praying I can keep a positive attitude the whole time until then!
Talk about an honest post, right? Thank you to everyone who has been asking, excited for us, and offering to help us move! Lord willing, it will be sooner rather than later, and I can post some updated pictures of the finished product of our home. But for now, we play the waiting game.

Course is very enjoyable. Driving range is good.Clubhouse could improve a lot.
Greens are fast but true. Some of the best greens I've played on a municipal golf course. Staff friendly. Disappointed couldn't get a grilled chicken breast sandwich on Wednesday, 7 November - "Out of chicken breasts"....
We play this course once per month. Very good value and the scenery is top notch. The maintenance and overall look of the course is great. They could improve on Club house, food was average and Cart girl during the round non-existent. Excellent value for the money and worth playing all year long.
Looks like the money problems are hitting the course now.I thought the course was in terrible shape compared to years past. Did not like putting thru 5 or 6 old cup placements some being raised up a little. Hard to tell rough from fairways.To many courses in area they need to get control of the place before it is to late.
Coral OaksA great Muncipal Golf Course run by the City of Cape Coral. Very nice layout with a wide variety of tees, hole lengths, hazzards and greens. Fairways and Greens are in very good condition. Tees will be renovated next summer. Club house has Muncipal food service. Over all provides excellent value.

Larry Elman, son of Dave Elman (who was a true pioneer in hypnosis!), joins Dr. Bunny to share some great hypnosis stories, discuss how hypnosis has progressed over the years, and how you know when you've found a good hypnotherapist.
Larry shares a great story about being 9 or 10 years old, in the audience of his father's radio show, Hobby Lobby, when a guest hypnotist failed horribly – and his father saved the day! He also shares details about how that was the day his mother found out about his father's background in hypnosis! While this was initially a shock to her, Pauline Reffe Elman went on to become one of the best female hypnotherapists of her time – a fact that is very notable, but rarely documented.
Lots of great memories and info in this very special interview!
About the Dave Elman Hypnosis Institute:
The Dave Elman Hypnosis Institute has been resurrected in the spirit of DAVE ELMAN who in 1949 demonstrated his rapid induction methods and knowledge of pain control to doctor friends. As a result, he was asked to provide a course on hypnosis to physicians and dentists. His students often researched further medical applications and reported these back to Dave to be included in his next course..

A DRUG dealer caught after reports of a field rave has been spared jail.
Daniel Lythgoe, of Preston Road, Abingdon, appeared at Oxford Crown Court for sentencing yesterday after admitting dealing cocaine and ketamine.
The 25-year-old was caught after reports of a rave near Abingdon on April 29 last year.
Police were called because of complaints about noise from a farmer's field and when they arrived they saw Lythgoe with a white powder around his nostrils.
Prosecutors said that when he was interrogated by police about suspected drug use he answered 'I have coke and Ketamine around my b**locks.'

Armed with that information officers discovered a small haul of drugs totalling 1.95g of the class B drug and 4.39g of the class A drug.
He was also found to have a set of weighing scales.
In mitigation at yesterday's hearing his defence barrister Clare Evans said that her client suffered from ADHD and had developed a drugs habit.
She added that Lythgoe was 'keen to cease all illegal drug taking.'
Sentencing Judge Ian Pringle QC jailed him for a total of two years, suspended for two years.
He was also handed a 12-month drug rehabilitation requirement and 10 rehabilitation activity requirement days.

This salad is a probiotic powerhouse! A ton of fibrous vegetables get slicked with a good bacteria-rich kefir dressing. You can skip the sardines to make this a side salad, but keep them for a super-satisfying meal.
There's no sacrifice of flavor with this dish, which features creamy avocado, tangy grapefruit, and the fresh crunch of artichoke and fennel.
Chef Seamus Mullen shares a powerful excerpt from his book, "Real Food Heals."

Many assume that with the rise of the Internet and the explosion of social media that older forms of communication have faded away. Indeed, letter writing, telegrams, and "dispatches" of the days of yore are now somewhat relic in nature and victims to technology. But one old fashioned form of festive communication has stubbornly survived and even grown in the digital age: Christmas cards. As traditions go, sending Christmas cards is not really an old tradition. BUT, sending Christmas greetings is an ancient tradition, dating back centuries. What was true then remains true now: Christmas takes the aspect of greetingsRead more
Christmas Traditions
Christmas traditions are what make Christmas Christmas. From the tree to the lights to the very songs we sing there is so much about that holiday that makes it unique and special. But Christmas is so old that many don't understand why sacred traditions of the season are important or what they mean. That is what we hope to solve with these features of Christmas tradition on My Merry Christmas. Why do we use red and green at Christmas? What is the significance of the Christmas pickle? Who invented eggnog and why? Why do we drag a tree in from the woods and put it up all season? Each tradition of Christmas had a beginning somewhere. It is our job to tell those stories and to help make the traditions of Christmas more clear to those who celebrate it.
The Art of the Ugly Christmas Sweater
Dressing in something unusual for Christmas is certainly nothing new. Anciently part of Christmas celebrations meant wearing something silly or out of character. That notion continues today with Ugly Christmas Sweater Day. There is nothing meaningful behind this tradition other than fun. It is universal – meaning anyone can do it – and the only rules are that there are no rules. In fact, the more insane your sweater the better you are celebrating the day. What makes the ugly Christmas sweater so fun is that many of the great Christmas sweaters of the past are considered better ugly sweatersRead more
The Real History of Christmas Ornaments
The humble Christmas ornament rarely gets much thought for its significance and purpose. For many the Christmas ornament is merely decorative, a simple environmental adornment of the season. Most can look at an ornament and see it as nothing really special. Like nearly all things Christmas the history of Christmas ornaments is glossed over by historians and peddlers of merchandise. At Hallmark, who makes millions from sales of specialty ornaments annually, they can only say "For many people, decorating their home and Christmas trees with ornaments is one of the most enjoyable ways to capture the magic and excitement ofRead more
History of Christmas in July
The modern image of Christmas is locked in as a season covered in snow, ice and frosty images of evergreens. Ironically, the actual setting for Christmas should take place in the dry desert heat. Christ, after all, was not born on December 25th. Historians usually place His birth in the Spring. The seasonality of St. Nicholas bears explaining as well. Historically Nicholas of Myra was a year-round figure, placed in not-so-frosty like places in the Middle East. How he came to wear red is easily explained but how he took to sleighs and snowmen is a bit more complicated. ButRead more
My Private Christmas
The presents are all unwrapped. Santa's stockings are emptied. Signs of yet another great Christmas celebration are everywhere. And my husband and children are asleep. The lights on the tree still shine and this is my time for my private Christmas. It is private because most don't understand it. I didn't understand it at first. Like everyone else I grew up with the traditions of Christmas. The mistletoe, the concerts, the decorations, the bustle of gifting and fixing foods and enjoying gatherings. Those things are still a part of it. But Christmas isn't Christmas for me until my private Christmas.Read more
History of the Tradition of Elves
Lost in the romance, fantasy and some would say mystery and myth of Christmas is the concept of elves. Most folks today think of Santa's helpers, often in the form of little people, who work at the North Pole busily making toys for good children everywhere. But elves in that vein are a relative recent invention, stemming from 19th century minds full of fantasy as the modern character of Santa Claus was developed in the Americas. Elves have their origins deeply staked in ancient mythology and their history, unlike St. Nicholas, is completely lacking any relation to deity or theRead more
10 Ways to Make Your Christmas Card Unique This Year

The History and the Mystery of Santa's Wink
Santa's wink is missing. British fans of Christmas are taking to social media to vent over a change in Coca Cola's traditional Christmas commercial that shows Santa handing a bottle of Coke to a little boy and then winking at him. That wink from Santa is meaningful. It has been around for a long, long time both as a gimmick in holiday advertising and as yet another means of imaging the legendary gift bringer. But what most do not know is that Santa's wink goes back much, much further than that. One of the many ancient figures that make upRead more
History of Christmas Greetings
Lazy historians typically date the advent of Christmas cards to the 1840s, a time when postal services in modern western societies were well established and became more affordable. The truth is that the sending of holiday greetings is centuries old. Commercial Christmas cards got their start in the UK in the 1840s, suspiciously around the same time as the explosion in popularity of all things Christmas — from trees to holly, as spurred by popular Christmas-themed works such as Dickens' A Christmas Carol. The tradition of holiday greetings, however, dates back centuries, most famously noted in the Bible when angelsRead more
The Christmas Tradition of Ghost Stories
The "spooky season" of Halloween has more connection to Christmas than many people realize. It comes in the form of the Christmas ghost story. In the end, both holidays at their core are a celebration of life over death, of explorations into themes of light and dark. Even the Nativity Story, innocently told through the tale of the birth of a Baby, has elements of the supernatural. Gabriel's visit to Mary – and later to Joseph – is one that many imagine as filled first with fear and then with wonder. Gabriel, though describe as an angel, is a visitorRead more

B as in Italian Bee from Glenn California. They are on the move.
As you may recall from an earlier post, Lana and Katherine have installed a colony of Italian bees. Today they've been sighted on the move.
They've emerged from their hive, taking nutrition from the honey water
coming and going. But more importantly they've been sighted on the echium
which as you can see is convenient to their home base.
How, you might ask, do you know they are the Italian Bees from Glenn California and not another honey bee? Lana says our bees are more "blond" and she's been watching them closely. Stay tuned.
Our village, tucked between the Pacific and the Santa Lucia mountains and nestled over highlands, valleys and a Monterey Pine forest has a true western history.
Chumash and Salinans, Mexican aristocracy, cowboys, miners, Azorean whalers and native Californios were here first, then came the bohemians, artists, writers, musicians, retirees
and a few Hollywood stars. By now it is a unique culture were on any given day
50% of the population will tell you what's right and the other 50% will have some variation of what's not.
A recent hot topic has been Tammy Ruddock, the executive director of our CCSD.
The village is governed by the Cambria Community Services District (CCSD) board.
Ostensibly the staff works for the board. There are some who question just who has the power. The recent firing of the town's Fire Chief by Ms Ruddock has set off screeches, howls, accusations, rumor and a general furor. She cites "confidentiality of personnel" issues and refuses to discuss the specifics. Most say the chief, while aggressive in protective measures, not unreasonable in a forest, is a good guy and has done a great job.
Well, he's out and she ain't saying why. This prompted one of the town's
leading characters, 90+ year old Jim Buckely, founder of the local theater playhouse, to say that of Ms. Ruddock "They ought to string her up!"
Elsewhere that statement could ignite all manner of fall out. Here, well, this is the west and we have trees that some of the old timers remember as "hangin trees."
Remember the the Zebra shootings--rancher vs rancher and range rights and all, just a few months ago.
We've got another dandy fight underway.
Stay tuned for this as well.
See you down the trail.
The fire chief had shut down Buckely's Playhouse until
it installed an expensive new sprinkler system. Still
he is a defender of the chief and no fan of
Ms Tammy, who earns, with benefits and allowances,
some $230,000 to manage a town of 5,500 or so.

Simone Biles may be only 4 feet 9 inches tall, but over the weekend she proved to be a force to be reckoned with at the 2015 P&G Gymnastics Championships at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. The Texas native pulled a three-peat as she won the U.S. women's gymnastics championship.
Biles recorded her best-ever scores at a P&G Championships in three of four events to capture the all-around title.
"I just keep surprising myself, I guess," Biles said after her win.
Currently, Biles, 18, is a favorite for all-around gold at the Rio Olympics, but she's focusing on leading the women's team at the World Championships in Glasgow, Scotland, in October.
While it seems as though Biles is on a winning streak, her coach, Aimee Boorman, gave one answer when she was asked what Biles needed to work on to win big:
"I know it sounds like a baloney answer, but consistency," said Boorman. "That's what wins."

Assisted Living In Ilinois
Depending on where you're living, Illinois might not be one of the states that pops up when you're looking for a state to retire to, and especially if you're used to getting to places by car. Also, the winters in Illinois are rather cold and pretty snowy. If these things don't bother you that much, Illinois has lots of sought-after perks that people can appreciate. The Prairie State has something to offer to everyone, be it great food, shopping venues, exploration areas, and much more. Despite the frigid winters that are present in Illinois, this state has beautiful beaches that are pleasurable during summertime. There are three beaches in Chicago, and they are frequented by people from all over the nation. These beaches are 31st Street beach, Montrose Beach, and North Avenue Beach.
Not much different than other cities, Chicago is a rather busy city. If you like living a fast-paced life and getting to your destination by means of public transport, you'll likely feel at home here. If, instead, you prefer driving by car and not paying a steep price for parking, you might want to take a look at suburban areas like lake Barrington that is around one hour driving north of Chicago. The benefit to living in smaller towns is that if you ever have the need to go to a bigger city, it's usually not too far. Aside from that, these sorts of cities have less congested traffic, free parking slots, and a satisfactory amount of shopping and food options.
Before you decide to retire in Illinois, you'll probably want to familiarize yourself with this state's senior living options, costs, and benefits. To make the decision easier, we have collected all the vital information regarding Illinois' senior living options, as well as the support systems that have been put in place, including the amenities that each of these has to offer. If you have a general idea so as to where in Illinois you'd like to move to, there's a list of cities down below.
With a hosing index of 96.20, Illinois is one of the less expensive states to live in. Other states that have bigger cities like California and New York, tend to be more expensive to live in. Because of that, if you prefer living close to big cities and not pay high housing costs, you should take Illinois into consideration. One-bedroom apartments in this state go for an average monthly cost of $852, and two-bedroom apartments go for about $1,028 per month.
Home healthcare services can be used by seniors in their own homes. These services are mostly used by seniors that need help with housekeeping, everyday chores, and meal preparation. In Illinois, home healthcare services have an average monthly cost of $4,195. If you don't have a primary caregiver, there are home health caregivers for hire, and their services have an average monthly cost of $4,290. These hired caregivers provide extensive care to seniors in their own homes.
Seniors in need of a stay at a supervised facility while their caregivers deal with their own obligations usually use the adult daycare centers that are available in Illinois. These centers have an average monthly cost of $1,562. At these centers, the staff tends to the socialization and health needs of their residents and provide them with any therapy they might need. While basic healthcare is provided at these centers, it's worth noting that adult daycare doesn't provide extensive nursing care, so if you're in need of such a care, you better take a look at nursing homecare.
Illinois is also a home to assisted living facilities which provide more extensive assistance with their daily tasks. These facilities provide their healthcare and personal care services for an average cost of $3,720 per month. These facilities, much like adult daycare centers, don't provide extensive nursing care and should be considered as a form of long-term care.
Seniors in need of 247 supervision and healthcare that can't be provided by their primary caregivers, either by lack of time or resources should take a look at nursing homes. While it is the most expensive form of senior care, friends and family of the seniors will be at peace of mind knowing that their elders are getting all the supervision and medication that they need throughout the day or night. Semi-private rooms at these centers have an average monthly cost of $5,688, while rooms with greater privacy have an average monthly cost of $6,524. Illinois' senior living centers have lower costs when compared to the national average, or other states with big cities.
Benefits of Choosing Illinois for Senior Living
While it might not have favorable weather, Illinois still has much to offer for its citizens. Below, we have listed some of the more important benefits to retiring in Illinois.
Delicious Food in Ilinois
Being a home to immigrants from all over the world, Illinois' food options are rather plentiful. Seniors will have the pleasure of tasting authentic Asian, European, Arabic, Persian cuisine, among others. The tightly packed surrounding of Chicago will make it easier for people to try several different cuisines every day as experienced chefs from famous restaurants in the city are open for business all day and night.
Many Senior-friendly Activities in Ilinois
Chicago's landscape got crushed by glaciers many years ago, which created flat terrain and a plethora of lakes. This gave way to forming marvelous waterways, which can be enjoyed during both sunrise and sunset. Another fun thing for seniors to experience are the architecture and museums scattered all over Chicago, including events and activities being held at the city's landmarks. Some of them include the Navy Pier, the Lincoln Park Zoo, the Adler Planetarium and nearby park grounds, as well as the Millennium Park, to name a few.
Ilinois Seniors' Tax Benefits
Illinois has a very tax-friendly system for the retirees. This state doesn't have any taxes of Social Security income and public pension income. Another thing that's not taxed in this state are withdrawals from retirement accounts. While wages have a normal tax rate, seniors retiring in Illinois needn't worry about those.
Exemplary Healthcare
One of the most important things to consider while changing states is access to quality healthcare and Illinois' healthcare system is perfect for the elderly. Another thing worth noting is that this state has more doctors per capita than the national average. This, in turn, means that if you ever have the need for their services, you won't have to travel far. The Prairie State provides its citizens with top-of-the-line hospitals, including some world known ones, like the Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago.
Senior Living Options in Ilinois
There are lots of senior living options to choose from in Illinois. Determined by each individual's needs, retirees may choose from independent living, assisted living, memory care, or nursing home centers. If you're not sure which of these is the right one for you, feel free to keep on reading, as we have explained the services that each of them has to offer, as well as the costs associated with those services.
Independent Living
With over 650 independent living facilities operating all over Illinois, seniors that lead healthy and active lives and not in need of 24/7 care should take this option into consideration. The average monthly cost for these facilities can range from as low as $576 to as high as $3,575 per month.
One of the options that is usually chosen for independent living is apartment living. This type of senior care provides seniors with an environment that is used by persons aged 55+ or 65+, depending on the apartment community. These communities have various amenities at the seniors' disposal like gyms, walking trails, meeting rooms, pools and jacuzzies, among others. Some of these apartment communities may also offer transport services for those in need.
If you've made up your mind and decided to move to Illinois, it might be wise to consider buying a property. While apartments can be rented monthly, you also have the option if buying condos, townhouses, and cottages in the carious senior communities all over Illinois.
Cost-wise, the more affordable options can be found in the Carbondale-Marion area, while the more expensive ones are located in metropolitan areas like Chicago, Naperville, and Elgin.
Assisted Living
There are over 820 assisted living facilities operating throughout Illinois providing seniors access to healthcare and social activities that are designed so as to keep them busy in their final years. Experienced and professional caregivers are present on site, assisting seniors with housekeeping chores, transport, laundry services, meal preparation, and much more. These facilities have a 24/7 surveillance that keeps their residents safe.
Assisted living facilities in Illinois have an average monthly cost that can range anywhere from as low as $1,048 to as high as $6,500 per month. The more affordable facilities are usually situated in suburban towns, while the less affordable ones can be located in the metropolitan areas of Illinois.
Memory Care in Illinois
As dementia affects more and more seniors, memory care centers have become an important way to help seniors with dementia-related illnesses. Memory care centers are designed in a way that makes it easier to navigate through the hallways, which prevents seniors from getting lost and confused in case they forget where to go. The staff at these facilities is professionally trained in calming down seniors that fall into despair, as well as providing help with personal care, medication, and meal preparation.
The costs related with memory care centers may be high or low, depending on the level of care that is needed by the residents at these centers. The Chicago metropolitan area has an average annual cost of $96,921, while Carbondale and Marion have the most affordable average cost of $59,677 per year. The state average costs for memory care centers is $66,198 per year.
Nursing Homes
Illinois might have trouble down the road, at least when senior care is concerned. The reason for this is the spread-out towns with not-that-good public transportation and services that seniors require so as to remain somewhat independent. This will make seniors turn to other options like nursing care because the senior population has risen by 8% in the past decade, and this trend has shown no signs of slowing down. Some of these options are further elaborated below.
Adult Daycare Facilities
There are over 100 adult daycare facilities operating in Illinois and they provide much-needed assistance with fully equipped facilities in which seniors can receive all the care that they need during daytime. This option is perfect for seniors still living with their family but can't take care of them during the day either by lack of time or experience.
Adult daycare facilities provide their residents with meals during weekdays and some for the weekends. Seniors will have access to social activities like puzzle solving, bingo, art classes and more. This helps seniors with their loneliness and depression, since their families are busy tending to their own daily obligations which keep them from properly caring for their elders.
The costs for adult daycare facilities is not that high, with an average annual cost of $17,290, much lower than the national average of $23,400. This price can vary greatly because of factors like location and quality/level of care provided. The more expensive options can be found in Rockford, where the average annual cost for adult daycare is $23,465, while more affordable options can be found in Decatur with an average annual cost of $13,000. Some of these facilities offer additional amenities such as salon services and massages, which can be paid a la carte.
Hospice Care in Ilinois
Nearly 150 hospice care facilities operate in Illinois, helping terminally ill seniors get all the care and attention needed so as to live out their final days with peace of mind. These seniors provide care for the terminally ill in various ways. Firstly, medical care alleviates the physical pain through medication by on-site physicians that make sure treatments are administered regularly. Secondly, hospice care provides emotional support for the residents facing the fact that they are in the final stage of their life. Grief counseling is also offered to both the residents and their families, helping them better handle the stress. Last, but not least, chaplain services offer spiritual support for those in need.
A most useful part of hospice care is that most of the time it comes free of charge. This is due to the fact that he costs related with hospice care are usually covered by Medicare, Medicaid, or private insurances. The only drawback to this is that doctors must diagnose the patient with less than 6 months left to live.
Respite Care in Ilinois
Because of the fact that towns in Illinois are spread out, families that are taking care of their elderly will have trouble administering complete and quality care without any help. This help can be obtained through any one of the 800+ respite care centers located all over Illinois. Respite care can be administered in different ways, either by providing an experienced caregiver that will visit the seniors' home, or by providing housing in a respite care facility for as long as needed. In this way, primary caregivers will be free to take care of their daily obligations without worrying for their seniors, who is being taken care of at one of these facilities.
Respite care facilities in Illinois have an average annual cost of $62,050. The costs may vary though, either by the level of care, the frequency of care, as well as the location where the facility is located at. The average monthly costs for respite care can range anywhere from $5,003 to $16,313. Do keep in mind that respite care can be provided daily, usually after a surgery. Another thing to consider is that most insurances don't cover the costs for respite care.

We love to start the weekend by visiting different farmers markets, a beautiful way to get a glimpse of locally made food and to experience community life.
One chilly Saturday morning we set off to visit the Oratia Farmers Market, a new local for us as we have recently moved to West Auckland. The marketplace is set under a huge grape arbour in a beautiful rural vineyard. We strolled through the lovely surroundings, learning about local makers and sampling an impressive variety of artisan foods.
The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, a live band plays in the background while shoppers meander around the stalls. The children seem to be running wild and barefoot despite the cold winter air (my own two included!). I love that the markets are small and intimate, you can see from one end to the other without having to worry about little ones wandering away.
As we visited one stall to the next, we slowly filled our basket with an abundance of seasonal produce. The kids shared a delicious home made lamb sausage roll and then indulged in a few slices of Crème Brulee fudge.
Each and every stall offered something different and unique, all tempting our wallets as well as our tastebuds. Here are a few of my personal favourties:
Salmon Man - Naturally cured salmon using salt and sugar with no additives or nitrates. We demolished a container of raw salmon marinated in coconut cream and picked up a few fillets of hot smoked salmon to take home.
Quality Meats –Organic and free range meat with an extensive range of pork, beef and lamb. We were super impressed with the sausages, which are made out of 100% meat, simply seasoned with sea salt and pepper.
Crafty Baker – Based in Glen Eden, this small family run bakery uses good quality and organic ingredients in their lovingly made breads, pastries, slices and cakes. We tried their intriguing chocolate sourdough, which the kids loved. To take home, we chose the olive sourdough, which we later served with a simple salmon salad.
The Oratia farmers Markets are open rain or shine each Saturday morning from 9-12. Also at 99 Parrs Cross Road is the Artisan Wines restaurant, the Packing Shed Gallery and Cafe, and just Plane Interesting, a curio store.

Fee includes full breakfast.
Katherine Gehl, frustrated about gridlock in Washington and the damage it is doing to U.S. competitiveness, is joining with other business leaders to back the No Labels movement. No Labels wants our national policy makers to put aside party politics and focus on solutions to the U.S.'s most daunting challenges (Read more here).
Learn about the national No Labels movement and its agenda for improving U.S. competitiveness as we welcome Katherine Gehl to our Inspire Kenosha leadership series.
As former CEO of Gehl Foods, one thing Katherine Gehl learned over the course of her career is in order for a company to compete globally, it needs a workforce of skilled self-starters and problem solvers. This is the very definition of competitiveness: businesses are succeeding, while living standards are maintained or rising for average Americans. But, there's an imbalance taking place, resulting in an economy doing half of its job, according to a recent Harvard Business School study.
According to Gehl, the challenges we face are systemic, and many require policy action at the national level. Among business leaders from all sides of the political spectrum, there's fairly broad consensus about the top policy priorities that will help reinvigorate American competitiveness: fix the debt and the tax code, enact comprehensive energy policy, invest in our infrastructure, and strengthen our K-12 education system.
As a business leader, Gehl is deeply concerned about the state of our democracy and its impact on our nation's economy and American businesses' competitiveness. Join us to hear Gehl's insights on the state of our democracy, how local business leaders and the community can become more aware of the problems we face, and how we can become part of a solution.
About Inspire Kenosha
Inspire Kenosha is a collection of activities, events and resources intended to engage existing and emerging leaders so they feel empowered to evolve our community and region. Through this platform, KABA intends to equip our community with ideas on how to be a better leader in their career, community, and personal lives.
About Katherine Gehl
As the fourth-generation President and CEO of Gehl Foods, Katherine led an aggressive growth strategy, driving transformations across the company–from management and processes, to facilities and informationsystems. In order to support continued growth, Katherine oversaw the acquisition of Gehl Foods by a private equity firm in March of 2015.

Post War S.I.T Flats in Tiong Bahru: My Renovation Journey Starts Here!
My Renovation Journey – Make Over for a 75 years old Grande Dame!
"Wow, this place is older than me!" Uncle made the remark after stepping into my "new" flat. Uncle is 64 years old. "That's right, Uncle!" I proudly agreed, as I led Uncle into the kitchen. This is the start of my renovation journey……
The search has begun a few weeks ago: The search for a designer for our new abode in Tiong Bahru. Again, we asked friends and family for renovation contacts and recommendations after bothering them for movers. Out of the names we received, we shortlisted four to view our place for a design proposal.
Uncle is one of them, a trained architect and veteran in the renovation industry, recommended by an old classmate. Aother girlfriend recommended an architect friend, Mr A from T Co. Another friend recommended Mr. D from W Co. who has been praised for his great project management skills. The forth was Ms S from C Co., recommend by an ex-colleague, who was very pleased by her work in his apartment some years back.
The last time we renovated our previous flat was more than 7 years ago in 2005/2006. It was a simple renovation. The only cabinetry that we did was the kitchen and the rest was purchased ready-made. We did timber strips for the entire house, except kitchen and bathrooms. I really like timber floors and might duplicate it in our new place. I miss the warmth!
I don't really have a name for the decorating style in my previous flat. You can check it out here. I always thought it was "Classic Modern", later I was told that it was more inclined to "American Classic Modern". I guess. What do you think?
My "new" flat is one of the post war S.I.T (Singapore Improvement Trust) flats in Tiong Bahru Estate, just a stone throw away from Tiong Bahru Market. These flats that you see along Tiong Bahru Road, the 4 –storey buildings with round staricases, were built by S.I.T, after World War Two around 1948 to 1951. Yes, these flats are over 70 years old! Grande dame by Singapore standards!
S.I.T was set up in 1927 and the predecessor of HDB, which was established 33 years later in 1960. That makes these flats a rare few flats that were not developed by HDB but managed by HDB.
Yes, I move from Tiong Bahru to Tiong Bahru . (Have I told you that I'm a Tiong Bahru kid?)
One of my biggest renovation inspirations is from my neighbour, Lieblingsg, from another block in Tiong Bahru Estate. Admire his work below. Isn't he amazing? (Note that design is only his hobby and he make his living in another profession!)
His amazing transformation of his S.I.T flat in Tiong Bahru, featured on the cover page of Home and Decor!

His friend's Bedok 3-room flat which he totally transformed into a gorgeous bachelor pad!
His Bayshore Rental Renovation featured in a 7-page spread in Home and Décor.
I can't wait for the renovation to get started! Suggestions, referrals, please feel free to roll them in! I need to transform the 75 years old beauty below, and the journey starts now!

When it comes to home redesign in general, while many people feel like they need to give it a try, the substantial investment required has led to many people suffering in silence. The kitchen is no exception, with many people simply living in disappointment as they desire to do some renovating in the kitchen but are too afraid of the cost to follow through.
Fortunately, you do not need to make a substantial investment in order to make a difference in the kitchen. All you need is the willingness and dedication to get the job done. Here are just a few easy methods for improving the look of your kitchen without going over budget.
Make use of a kitchen worktop
It comes as no surprise that many people consider the worktop to be one of the cornerstones of a great kitchen. Not only does it have plenty of different uses, but it also serves to complete the overall look of your kitchen.
If you were to show people pictures of a kitchen with and without a worktop, they will likely feel as though the one without is much emptier, but will be unable to discern why. That is how much of a subtle impact this centrepiece has on the kitchen. If you want quality worktops that are reasonably priced, consider using a granite worktop London suppliers sell for maximum effect.
The addition of a simple rug can make a difference
If your kitchen is looking bland and you do not have the budget to be able to renovate and transform the look, you can instead improve it in subtle ways. For example, on the flooring next to the sink, you can add a colourful rug. Not only is it a practical choice, but it will also improve the look of your kitchen by adding colour to the overall design.
Inject new life into your windows
What a person sees in the windows of a kitchen is a big factor in how the entire area shapes up. For example, you would be surprised at how much of a difference placing a few small house plants by the window can make. Another easy method would be to add colourful and tasteful drapes, giving your kitchen a brand-new look with barely any effort!
Consider new flooring
Last but certainly not least, the flooring of a kitchen plays a large role in setting the atmosphere of your kitchen. It might be a little costlier than the other methods above, but it is still quite cheap compared to other renovation methods. While the type of flooring depends on you, a few recommendations would be the use of beautiful tiles or wooden flooring.
It can be disheartening to want to improve a kitchen but be unable to due to budget constraints. Thankfully, the methods above are not only effective but easy on the wallet as well! Whether you decide to get that brand-new worktop, or perhaps work on the flooring, you will definitely be satisfied with the results.

Read what some past campers have said:
Moose Camp was worth every penny that I spent and I look forward to going again. Moose Camp enhances not only your personal clowning experience but the experience of watching a clown for those in your audience. Life is full of people that think they can buy a wig, a nose, some makeup and some big shoes and then call themselves a clown. Real clowning takes work, effort, practice, rehearsal, dedication and training. And all of those things you get at Mooseburger Camp.
The generosity of the staff is amazing! They gave so much of themselves. They were available during meals to chat, between sessions. They are extremely approachable! ASK THEM EVERYTHING!!
I can say with no hesitation at all that Pricilla and her camp teachers have given me my "clown wings" to put a happy face on a child with a short time to live. I know I am making a difference to a child and his/her family at a very difficult time. I will always be indebted to Mooseburger Camp forever.
Mooseburger Clown Arts Camp is a VERY good place to address your curiosity and desire to be nurtured in the art of clowning!
Shed what you think the art of clowning is about and enjoy the Professionals at Moose Camp. Pricilla has thought of everything. You are in good hands and just let it happen. The teaching team is geared to your level of clowning. Actually, they adjust to the experienced clown as well. You don't need to know anything when you walk in. They can — and do — teach you the right things about the art of clowning. The really know the professional side of clowning. These people know how to entertain and pass their knowledge on to you.
They offered so much to learn that I have to go back another year to take the classes I missed last year. The teachers helped during camp and when I needed them to answer questions after camp and they didn't hesitate to help me. I can't say enough about it.
Attending my first clowning classes at Moose Camp opened my eyes to a whole new world. I began the week content to be a silent on-looker but ended the week wanting to be the star of the show! Moose Camp made me realize clowning helped me fill a part of my life I did not realize was missing. I truly felt like I had found a place where I belonged, and I do not know if I have ever enjoyed anything as much as I love clowning. I loved all of my classes and my instructors.

Oak Processionary Moths in London
We are all crossing our fingers for a some glorious bank holiday weather during May. If you are getting out and enjoying some fresh air then please be careful to avoid these Moth pests. The caterpillars of this moth have been found in several places around southern England, including Fulham and Chelsea this year. In recent year in late Spring …

I am frequently told throughout the day by patients that their teeth are sensitive. Many have felt this way for years, and others have just begun to experience this phenomenon.
"My teeth are sensitive to cold!"
"Sometimes they hurt when I brush."
"When I bite and chew I feel sensitivity!"
These are all comments that chime through my office walls.
So, let's discuss the possible causes for tooth sensitivity, address some of these symptoms and provide some treatment approaches to help in this epidemic.
According to the AGD, Academy of General Dentistry, approximately 45 million Americans suffer and/or experience some kind of dental sensitivity. This tooth pain is described as a tingly feeling or a flash pinch of pain affecting an individual tooth or many. Some pain is intermittent and others constant. This sensitivity can occur when eating hot or cold foods or drinking various beverages, or just when cold air hits it.
What is causing this pain? Well, there are a variety of potential factors. However, in the scope of our article today I will address three: 1) enamel erosion 2) gum recession and 3) fractured teeth.
Enamel erosion is the wearing down of the outer tooth layer, enamel, which serves as our protective armor on our teeth. Once that outer layer is worn away, your under layers of dentin and cementum are exposed (it depends what part of the tooth is in discussion). These under layers are inherently sensitive areas that are sensitive and don't like to be exposed to the outside world (like your under layers of skin). Enamel erosion frequently is a result of acidic food and drinks. These include sodas, citrus, wine and teas/coffee. All in frequency will contribute to the shedding of tooth enamel over time. After eating or drinking an acidic substance, you should....all my avid readers know this answer....Yes, "chase it with water!"
Tooth grinding, bruxism, will also contribute to sensitivity, wearing away the enamel on the top biting surface. In addition, vigorous tooth brushing may cause enamel loss and dentin exposure. Brushing your teeth hard with a firm brush is not necessary to clean your mouth. So, consider a softer brush and go gentle. The goal is to clean your mouth, not scrub it.
Gum recession is a big problem. For some its genetic, and others it comes with age. Yes, I'm sorry, I said it: age. They say, as we get older, "everything goes south!" Well, in the mouth, this happens to your gums. They tend to ride down your tooth and expose the root surface, like a collar exposing your neck, making it cold. Without this collar of gum covering, and enamel as a protectant, the result is sensitivity. Many times these areas can either be professionally desensitized or bonded to replace what was lost. This procedure will reduce sensitivity and strengthen your tooth for the future.
Frequently when pain is felt during chewing or biting, this is the sign of a chipped or fractured tooth. Now, it may just be a cavity, a broken old filling or an actual fracture in the crown (top) of the tooth or even the root. All these possibilities will create these symptoms. Don't ignore this, because by replacing a filling or crown today it may prevent you from a root canal or extraction tomorrow. As Benjamin Franklin taught us, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."
In the end, if you are one suffering from any of the above symptoms or causes of dental sensitivity, you are not alone. Sensitive toothpastes, rinses and treatments alone is a multi-million-dollar market. So, see your dentist and determine the true nature of your problem. There may be a solution that can eliminate or at least prevent further progression or damage in the future. There are great advances in treatments and products that truly make a difference in patients.
So stop saying "I have sensitive teeth!" and just live with it. Find out why, and get on the road to a more comfortable smile.
Have a great summer!
