1. source of nutrients, delicious food: sunny side up, scrambled egg, soft-boiled egg with pepper.
2. facial mask (cheaper than most facial masks).
3. burn treatment.

Nothing beats the aroma and energy of sunny side up for breakfast!
Mum cooked super delicious egg breakfast for Dad and me in Edinburgh. Happy memory!

First Aid for burn:
1. spray cold water on the affected area until the heat is reduced which stops the continued burning of all layers of the skin.
2. spread the egg whites onto the affected area.

Why is egg so effective?
Egg white contains collagen.

3. Apply the egg white over our face, don’t forget the wrinkled parts below our eyes
4. Wait till we feel tightens
5. Rinse with water
6. Spray rice water

Finance trends

Michael Hasenstab
fund manager. Templeton Global Bond Fund.
PhD in economics at Australian National University, Canberra.
honeymoon climbing Mt Kilimanjaro with wife Mary Ann
focus on sovereigns and forex, many other global funds buy gov, corporate, and supranational debt.

To Hasenstab, most developed markets are overly indebted and overleveraged, and they offer far more risk than return potential from their paltry interest rates.

In 2007, before the credit crisis, 70% of his portfolio was in mature markets. But then he realised the US financial crisis would spread globally. Solution? he shorted the euro, while buying currencies with current-account surpluses, including CHF and JPY. He boosted holdings in countries where he expected sizable rate cuts, among them Australia, NZ, Chile, South Korea, Mexico. Anticipating the flight to USD, he hedged most of his emerging-market currency exposure.

In finance, short selling (also known as shorting or going short) is the practice of selling assets, usually securities, that have been borrowed from a third party (usually a broker) with the intention of buying identical assets back at a later date to return to the lender. It is a form of reverse trading. The short seller hopes to profit from a decline in the price of the assets between the sale and the repurchase, as the seller will pay less to buy the assets than the seller received on selling them. Conversely, the short seller will incur a loss if the price of the assets rises.
Those who short, expect price to decrease.

Hasenstab believes that over the next few years, US rates will rise and JPY will fall.
