Gold: wave analysis
by Roman Petukhov
Weekly. it has long been expected that the global downward correction [4] development would be complete, and now, judging by the latest movements, this wave is fully complete. The last section is marked by the formation of a new upward impulse [5] beginning.
Daily. The first two waves of the upward trend 1 and 2 have been formed. At the moment, development of a new upward wave 3 is taking place. We are expecting further growth of the pair in the near future.
H4. Wave (5) of [5] turned out cut off, therefore the bears failed to reach the low, formed by wave (3) of [5]. Right after that, we witnessed a surge of the price within impulse 1 and correction 2 towards it. At present, a powerful trend 3 is being formed; furhter price growth is expected in the near future.

SESSION TITLE: Pediatric Pulmonary Posters
SESSION TYPE: Original Investigation Poster
PRESENTED ON: Wednesday, October 30, 2013 at 01:30 PM - 02:30 PM
PURPOSE: to determine the effectiveness of lung flute in the management of pneumonia in pediatric patient
METHODS: This is an Open labelled randomized controlled trial. Patients were randomized using block randomization, either to the standard therapy or the lung flute group. The standard therapy recieved antibiotics and bronchodilator if needed. After which sputum induction was done. The exact amount of sputum and the quality of sputum was assessed. The same procedure was done in the lung flute group except that the subjects were instructed to use the flute flute. Endpoints were based on resolution of fever, disappearance of crackles, improvement on chest xray, removal of oxygen support and hospital stay. Adverse events were also noted.
RESULTS: A total of 60 subjects were enrolled in the study. Thirty one under the standard therapy group and 29 under the lung flute group. Among the factors analyzed, only the quality of sputum showed significant result, standard therapy only yield 7 (22.6%) good quality sputum compared the lung flute group 18 subjects (62.1%) produced good quality sputum. No significant difference comparing the resolution of fever, disappearance of crackles, improvement on chest x-ray, number of hours oxygen removed and hospital stay. No adverse reactions were noted.
CONCLUSIONS: Lung flute can be use as an adjunct in the treatment of pneumonia, helping the patient to expectorate easily and can aid in the collection of sputum as a specimen for further diagnostic work-up.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Lung Flute is a device that can be used to help patients with pneumonia expectorate easily and aid in the collection of good quality sputum for diagnostic test.

Chapter Twenty-Two part twoMature
"Of course what you're doing in this world I still want to know. I left the way I did because I didn't want to put you in danger," Calvin said, opening his mouth to speak again.
"You had no right," Zoe interrupted, standing up to move away from his overpowering scent.
"What?" Calvin said, genuine confusion on his face.
"Screw danger Calvin. You had no right to do that after.." Zoe didn't finish and instead buried her head in her hands, trying to calm her thoughts.
"After the night we spent together? You have no idea how long I had wished for that to happen," he replied and Zoe felt the pain in he chest grow tenfold. She knew he'd stood up and come closer to her.
"Then why did you leave? And don't give the danger and unknown world excuse. If you had really cared you would've given me some explanation," Zoe said, her voice growing in pitch slightly towards the end. She knew her fists were clenched, not that they would do much damage. But at least it might make her feel a little better. She hadn't realised just how close he was until she looked up and saw him inches away. She knew her eyes were wet and tried to turn away. His hand on her chin stopped her. She knew the kiss was coming before his lips touched her. She knew tears fell and mingled with it. Adding salt to the bitter-sweetness the gentle caress of his lips on hers evoked. When he pulled away they were both breathing hard, Zoe's whole body quivering.
"I know I should have. But I couldn't...couldn't face seeing your reaction," Calvin confessed.
"Well, you've seen it now anyway," Zoe replied, unsure as to why she was trying to use humour to diffuse the situation. She wanted him to feel bad for what he'd done.
"The chances that you'd end up in this world were kind of unlikely," Calvin pointed out. Zoe made a small laugh and rubbed a hand over her temple. Too many ups and downs in one day made Zoe feel just about ready to drop.
"I should go sleep. And you should go back to your pack," Zoe said.
"Why don't you come with me?" Calvin asked and Zoe felt her eyes grow a little.
"I don't think that's a good idea," she replied. Calvin didn't seem particularly put off by her answer.
"Vampires are no different to lycans. At least lycans don't need something like blood," Calvin said. Zoe really didn't have the energy for a debate.
"No, but lycans have no issue with burning some human to cover they're own asses. And no offence Calvin, but I only know you and Jamie. And Jamie doesn't exactly feel like the homey type," Zoe ranted, irritation staining her tone.
"Just leave," she said, crossing her arms.
"And if I don't want to?"
"I'll get Rowan." Calvin laughed.
"You think that guy is a threat to me?" he asked, though it was clearly rhetorical based on his dismissive head shake and laughs.
"What part of I need to sleep don't you get?" Zoe said, feeling her teeth clench.
"Can I join?" Calvin asked. Zoe opened her mouth to tell him to piss off. Really, how could he request something like that after all the shit he'd already put her through? But instead she became hyper-aware of the closeness between them. She hadn't realised her breathing had gotten so deep with the arguing, and now it was taking everything she had to calm it. Instead it just sounded even worse and more unsteady than it had been.
"Depends on what definition you're giving to sleep," Zoe replied. All too aware of the heat in the air, engulfing both of them.
"Whichever definition you want it to have," Calvin said. His voice growing husky as he studied her. Zoe knew common sense told her a lot of things, all leading to a no. But none of that seemed to matter in that moment. Her eyes staring up into his, all too apparent what they were both feeling and thinking.
"I promise not to disappear this time," Calvin whispered. Zoe didn't need more than that as she wrapped her arms round his neck and kissed him with enough force to bruise. She felt one hand caress her lower back and the other move upwards from her waist, sending shivers down her spine and his fingers travelled over her bare skin. She buried a hand in his hair and let the other explore as his were. His hand moved downwards again and lifted her leg. She quickly wrapped both round his waist and felt his footsteps vibrate.
Then the assault of physical sensation stopped momentarily as she fell onto the bed. Then his lips were on hers again. Then they moved away, causing a sound of objection to escape her throat. They moved, kissing her neck, her jawline. Pausing to nip her ear and send more shivers of pleasure through her body. Clothes disappeared quickly in a far too slow and awkward fashion. She was surprised Calvin didn't just rip things off, he looked annoyed enough. She felt him enter her and her breath hitched a dozen times or more as he moved. Filling her with a kaleidoscope of sensations with every movement. She heard his groan as he came and knew her own moan matched it. Had probably been matching it from the start. He collapsed next to her, sweat beading his forehead, his own breathing as heavy and satisfied as hers.
"Wow, you've learnt a thing or two," Zoe murmured as she rested her head on his chest. She felt the laugh vibrate through his chest and closed her eyes. Breathing in his familiar scent and letting sleep take her.

As the calendar year comes to a close, it is common to reflect on the events of the past year as we move toward the new one. With the sudden and unexpected death of Carolyn Lynch from complications of leukemia on October 1, the Lynch School lost a great champion of education. Carolyn and her husband Peter Lynch '65 were among the School's most magnanimous supporters and our school bears their names in recognition of their generosity. Her spirit, vision, and philanthropy strengthened our ability to prepare exceptional professionals in education and applied psychology.
At a November 23 Lynch School symposium, Anthony Bryk '70, president of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, used the transformation of New York City's water supply over two centuries into one of the world's largest, most successful municipal water systems as a metaphor for efforts to improve education today. The national education landscape is beset by "a lot of different, fragmented efforts to solve a really big problem … [and] seemingly unable to make these systems work with the quality and scale we seek," said Bryk.

Superintendent of Schools for the Archdiocese of Boston Kathleen Power Mears is optimistic about meeting the challenges confronting the school system, she told an October 5 Lynch School symposium. "Part of the new evangelization is simply reaching out and inviting people to join us. We need to do that," Mears said.

Nine educators from Norway and 23 Lynch School faculty and graduate students gathered at Boston College's Connelly House in late October to compare, contrast, and look to the future of education systems in Norway, the United States, and the world at large. The Lynch School, Norway's University of Agder, and the Journal of Educational Change cosponsored the two-day conference, which was hosted by Lynch School Professor Dennis Shirley, who is editor-in-chief of the Journal. Shirley introduced the conference and spoke of what he called the strengths of Norway's education system. In contrast to the global trend toward testing and standardization, Norway emphasizes the development of the whole child and quality of life. "Children like school, they like their educators; it's humanistic," Shirley said.

CAD Design
Save money. Save time. Have a blue print.
Call us for design consulting:
The Plumber
A detailed layout of the plumbing for your equipment will save you tremendous amounts of time and money. Never assume that your plumber will know the requirements of your equipment. Missing something as simple as a floor drain for an ice machine could mean huge increases in your construction bill. Your plumber will have to charge you for cutting through the concrete, laying in the drains, and covering up the concrete. On top of that you will be charged by the flooring crew that will patch up the work. New invoices pile up and your project is now set back even further on the calendar. All of this can be avoided by making sure your plumbing requirements are on a blue print.
Plumbing blue prints for your restaurant equipment give you these advantages:.
- Locates all floor drains required for the operation of the equipment.
- Ensures water utilities are supplied to the proper areas of your space
- Detailed schedules give your plumber the right information to size gas pipes, drains, and water lines before the equipment is installed.
- Provides a tool to have your job bid accurately. The work is spelled out completely for the plumber.
- Avoids delays by laying out the entire scope of work. Eliminates any charges for additional work not called for at the start of the project.
The Electrician
So you've set up your ice machine and have the refrigeration line sets ready to go. Power is wired to the junction box for the ice maker. Where is the jumper wire to the remote condenser? The electrician's response: "You didn't tell me I had to run a jumper wire from the roof condenser down to the ice maker. I'll have to charge you." It's easy to assume that the electrician should have known that. However one simple fact remains; it wasn't in a drawing. If everything required for the operation of your equipment is laid out in CAD, then you have documented proof of the scope of work required. A blue print design is your key to a flawless installation.
Electrical plans for your restaurant equipment will give you these advantages:
- Notes all work required by the electrician for final connection to your equipment
- Provides the right electrical outlets specific to the equipment you are installing
- Your electrician will be able to properly size the breaker panel and provide dedicated breakers as needed
- Electrician can bid project in full. No unforeseen work will arise which will bring up construction costs.
- Avoids delays by laying out the entire scope of work. Eliminates any changes or additional work
Vent hoods and HVAC systems within your kitchen make up the scope of the mechanical work. Having the requirements of your vent hood laid out in a blue print is absolutely essential. Many cities will grant you a mechanical permit only if you have everything laid out in a plan. Our mechanical layout outs provide you with detailed information necessary for a complete installation of the vent hood. These include details on flashing sizes, roof penetration cuts, wall penetration cuts, electrical requirements for the vent hood, CFM calculations for your specific cooking line, and a properly sized vent hood.
Mechanical vent hood plans for your restaurant equipment will give you these advantages:
- CFM calculations based up on your specific cooking equipment. Provides for a balanced HVAC system.
- Fan sizing for your vent hood which is also crucial in determining the overall electrical load required
- Aids in getting city approvals and permits for building construction
- Provides informaton for the ANSUL installer to properly locate nozzles and size the tank
- Avoids delays by laying out the entire scope of work. Eliminates any additional cost for work not originally specified.
- Visit our blue print website to see some of our previous restaurant designs:

The Markets are Smitten
And now… today's Pfennig for your thoughts…
Good day, and a marvelous Monday!
Let's start today's letter a little differently than normal. Yes, I still don't care about the BLS report any longer, but the markets do still care, and the markets move currencies and metals, so I am obligated to play along. And since the dollar seems to be back in control this morning, after Friday's BLS Jobs Jamboree, I'm going to start today's letter with thoughts on the Jobs Jamboree. Geez Louise, I totally dislike talking about this stuff, because it's all smoke and mirrors and I just can't seem to understand why the markets can't see that! But here goes anyway…
Well, the Jobs Jamboree took place on Friday, last week, and once again amazed me at how brazen the BLS has become with their reports. Just keep printing it, and sooner or later, everyone will believe it. Well, almost everyone! The BLS reported that their surveys and hedonic adjustments brought the total of jobs created in March of 215,000. The Unemployment Rate rose to 5% (from 4.9%), and something that should have been more hailed than the supposedly 215,000 jobs created. And that is the Labor Participation Rate rose to 63%, the highest it's been for a long time.
64,000 of that 215,000 total were added with the Fed's Birth/Death Model, that I continue to bang on for its inaccuracy. It is a proven fact that in 2015, there were more "deaths" of businesses than "births", but that fact didn't deter the BLS from adding jobs nearly every month in 2015. And with no fundamental changes in what's going on in the U.S. I don't know for a fact, yet that is, but I would suspect the same scenario is going on in the U.S. in 2016, that there are more "deaths" than "births". So, why would the BLS be adding jobs each month to their already suspect "surveys"?
So, to me, the even still questionable number of jobs should be 151,000. (215,000 – 64,000). I still believe that the 151,000 total is questionable. But just for fun, let's say it's true. I read this weekend that 52% of the jobs went to the lowest paying third of workplaces, and that only 11% of the jobs went to the industries that pay a middle-class wage. I just don't see how the markets can get all excited about this stuff.
Whew! I'm worn out after all that. You should have seen my fat fingers flying around the keyboard. I couldn't type the words that my mind was thinking fast enough! But that's my two-cents on the whole thing. The markets are smitten with the strength of the report, and think that the economy in the U.S. isn't as slow as Fed Chair, Janet Yellen, would have us believe given her dovish speech last week. At least through the Jobs Jamboree last week, the markets were sold on the Yellen-factor, but since the Jobs Jamboree they have dismissed the Yellen-factor and it's back to thinking that the U.S. economy has turned the corner.
Well, IF the markets want to move back to fundamentals instead of Central Bank guidance, I'm all for that! But here's the problem – the markets have tried going back to fundamentals before, only to be pulled back into the Central Bank guidance trading due to some Central Banker speech, or monetary action. Memo to markets: So, you want to allow fundamentals to dictate currency values? Well, that's fine with me, but just remember once you go back to fundamentals there's no switching over to Central Bank guidance again!
And the markets will get their first test today, when the U.S. will print Durable Goods, and Capital Goods Orders, along with Factory Orders for February. These will all be final prints, as the preliminaries printed a couple of weeks ago. They'll still show negative results. What will the markets do then?
Oh, did you see that Fed member Dudley, did a kid-like thing when asked about his thoughts on the economy, he did a "what she said" referring to Janet Yellen's speech. We haven't heard from the hawks like Bullard, Williams and Lockhart, since the Yellen speech, so when they do come out and talk again, it will be interesting to see if they've changed horses in the middle of the stream.
So, like I mentioned above, the dollar has taken back the control over the currencies this morning, and it started after the Jobs Jamboree on Friday. The price of oil has fallen again and this time it has fallen below $37 to a $36 handle. The Russian ruble is getting whacked because of this drop in the price of oil and the other petrol currencies are falling in behind the ruble this morning.
The Antipodeans (see? I can use big words! HA!) are finding life on the other side of the first QTR difficult. I was doing some reading this weekend, and came across a report that illustrated the Aussie dollar (A$) and N.Z. dollar/kiwi and how for the last few years they've really started the year with strong moves, only to give them back the rest of the year. I found this to be very interesting, but you have to remember, the "last few years" we've been in a strong U.S. dollar trend, so things could get pretty screwy the rest of the year in a strong dollar trend. But I'm getting the feeling, my spider sense is tingling, that we could be nearing the end of the strong dollar trend.. And if the feeling/sense comes to fruition, then all the things that went on in the past few years would be thrown out with the bath water.
The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) will meet tonight. And although a rate cut remains on the table at the RBA, they will keep rates unchanged tonight, in my opinion, which could be wrong. Did you know that Australia booked the fastest economic growth in the developed world last year? We have some feeling that commodities like iron ore are seeing recoveries in their prices, and Australia put a budget surplus on the books last year. So, why is the rate cut still on the table, I hear you asking?
Well, the problem is the U.S. and the Fed. If the Fed keeps going down this path of not hiking rates further, then the pressure will be on the RBA to cut rates, because the A$ will continue to rise as long as the rate differential is steady between the U.S. and Australia. The RBA can't have the A$ get out of whack (too strong) with other commodity currencies or Australia loses to the cheaper competition. So, to keep a lid on the A$ as long as the Fed keeps their interest rate powder dry, the RBA will keep the rate cut on the table, just to remind the markets of the risk they take by driving the A$ too high.
I wanted to let you in on something early, and that is the next currency of the month is going to be the A$. I'm just now putting together the rough draft for that article – 'A Return To the Land of Oz' is what I think I'll call it!
The IMM Futures Positions last week saw more cuts in long U.S. dollar (USD) positions, and cuts in the short positions in euros and A$'s. I think these futures positions reports are good indicators of what the traders are thinking, but they're always a week in arrears. So, you must take that into consideration.
The euro was quite the perky currency last Friday morning, rising to 1.1420, before falling back below the 1.14 figure. I read this past weekend that 1.15 is a real tough psychological level, and should the euro pass 1.15, then it's going to be a strong indicator that the strong dollar trend has ended. Well, not just pass 1.15, but pass it and remain there, making that a new base to move higher.
Remember, the euro is the offset currency to the dollar, and dollar weakness shows up here first, and once dollar weakness is the trading scenario, the euro will rise, no matter what the economy of the Eurozone is doing. No, it can't withstand another round of Greek problems, but a slow economy is a piece of cake for the weak dollar trend to deal with!
There's an article on the Bloomberg this morning that talks about how Citigroup, which is the world's biggest currency trader, isn't buying into the dollar retaining the strength it gained from the Jobs Jamboree on Friday. Citigroup told their clients that until the Fed rhetoric changes and they begin to talk about a rate hike in June, the dollar weakness should remain. Pretty interesting, eh? You would twist that all around and come back to the same thing I've been saying.
It's a holiday in China today, so no fixing took place for the renminbi. It's the Ching Ming Festival in China today, at least that's what the calendar says! HA! China will see their latest on the PMI's and FX reserves this week. I don't foresee any major moves in the PMI's, (manufacturing index), so the markets' real attention will be on the FX Reserves, to see if the recent trend to spend these reserves in the economy continued at the fast pace it was on prior to year-end.
My thought here would be that spending of the reserves slowed. And that would send a good message throughout the "risk" markets. Or the vice versa would send a bad message to the "risk" markets.
The latest poll in the U.K. on whether or not to leave the European Union (EU), which is being called BREXIT, showed a 43% to 37% edge to the "yes" leave the EU camp. That's actually closer than I would have thought it to be. But then the government hasn't gotten behind the BREXIT campers yet, and they will, and leaving the EU puts additional pressure on the pound.
In Canada this week, we'll see two data prints that will give us a good idea whether or not the Canadian economy is on terra firma or not. Tomorrow we'll see the latest Trade Balance, with hopes that the trade deficit narrowed in February. And then on Friday, we'll see the labor report for March, which is expected to show 10,000 jobs created in March, but I'm of the opinion that the number will be larger than 10K. and that would send the message to the markets that the economy is stronger than they've previously thought! And that should reflect in a better valued loonie!
The U.S. Data Cupboard on Friday finally showed some life in the ISM (manufacturing index), which rose to 51.8 in March, from 49.5 in Feb. This is the first gain in this data in over a year, and I think it says a lot about the fact that the dollar lost a lot of ground in March, thus allowing exported manufactured goods to be more competitive.
I remember writing a letter to the head of the manufacturing sector here in the U.S. back in 2001, reminding him that he should be putting pressure on the Fed and Treasury to weaken the dollar, which at that time in 2001, was quite strong. I don't for one minute believe that the letter ever made it to his desk and opened in front of his eyes, but I can imagine that it did, and somehow was responsible for the reversal of the strong dollar a year later! Yeah, right, Chuck, I've got a bridge to sell you too!
I already told you that today's Data Cupboard has the Factory Orders and the Durable Goods and Capital Goods orders, which will print negative. Will this be the data that makes Friday's one month in over 12 strong ISM print, one fleeting moment?
Gold, which enjoyed its best quarter in the first quarter, in over three decades! And that was with gold getting taken down during March, is starting the new quarter on a down note, the same as it ended the 1st quarter. The shiny metal is down $5 this morning after being $10 on Friday. UGH!
I was both pleased and ticked off by stuff that James Rickards said this past weekend about gold. First the thing that ticked me off, Rickards doesn't believe in unallocated gold or pooled gold. He says that "unallocated gold means no gold". Well, I beg to differ with him on that point! I have to wonder if he has ever owned unallocated gold and then needed to fabricate it? I have and it worked beautifully, just the way it's supposed to, without me having to buy the gold again because I already owned it, and if the holding company didn't own it, they took a HUGE loss, but to prevent against that happening the holding company and EverBank have an agreement that they will never be short to EverBank. So there!
The thing he said that made me smile, was that "As interest rates increasingly become negative, gold becomes the high-yield asset". He went on to say, that…
…governments can't reliably dump U.S. government debt instruments to protect themselves against dollar devaluation, since the president can freeze any threatening financial transaction, none more easily than government bond transactions. But governments can hedge their dollar exposure by buying gold, and many indeed are doing so.
I found this on Bloomberg this morning. And Bloomberg pulled the article from the Charlotte Observer, and can be found here in its entirety, and here's the snippet:
Not every milestone is worth celebrating.
For the first time ever – or at least since the company went public some 45 years ago – Walmart's revenues shrank from the year before, according to its annual financial filing released Wednesday.
Walmart is clearly having trouble adapting its gigantic stores to the Internet age. To be sure, it is a retail juggernaut that brings in half a trillion dollars (that's right, trillion) in sales every year. And with more than 11,500 stores in 28 countries, there's no way it will disappear anytime soon.
Still, Walmart might have just hit its growth limit.
And the sales dip comes despite the fact that Walmart spent $11.5 billion (roughly matching what J.C. Penney made in sales last year) to build more than 400 new stores, remodel old locations, and revamp its website and other technology to better serve its customers.
Chuck again. I had just mentioned to the family last week that bricks and mortar stores were going to end up being dinosaurs as we go forward with the internet buying and having things shipped to your door, without having to leave your house. They laughed at me. Of course, all mad men get laughed at, at first! HA!
And with that I will send you on your way to hopefully having a marvelous Monday, and remember to be good to yourself!

Surgeons and internists frequently weigh their risks and benefits on different scales. I believe this is the case with the guidelines for prophylaxis against thromboembolic disease that were recently published in CHEST (September 2004).1 The risks of bleeding weigh heavily in the surgeons' decision making, whereas the internists see the pulmonary problems. Therefore, true evidence-based medicine must be applied carefully to derive a set of guidelines that is universally accepted by both groups.
First, recognizing that all of the recommendations in CHEST are based on the presence or absence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), we must ask whether DVT is an accurate surrogate marker for patients who are at risk for a pulmonary embolism (PE) after undergoing total joint surgery. If they are, we should see a proportional reduction of PE with a reduction in DVT. In fact, we do not. It is well known that after total knee surgery the incidence of DVT is two to three times that of total hip surgery, but there is an equal or reduced number of PEs after total knee surgery, not a twofold to threefold increase.
While it has been well documented that DVT is an accurate marker of risk for medical and thrombophilic patients, the same risks may not apply to those undergoing total joint surgery. In those postoperative patients, up to 60% have experience a DVT, while the incidence of fatal PE is 0.1 to 0.2%.2 Postoperative clots may have been formed by local mechanical injury to the venous system at the time of surgery and may not convey the same ominous prognosis.
Second, it is unclear whether we can generalize the safety data on postoperative chemoprophylactic agents, as reported in the literature, to all of our patients. The well-controlled, prospective, randomized drug studies in the literature exclude, by protocol, patients with prior DVT or GI bleeds, and the investigators choose not to enroll elderly, frail, and noncompliant patients. Therefore, the enrollees are a selected, healthier population and may not accurately represent the true bleeding risks.
Third, we must examine carefully the postsurgical morbidity of patients who experience significant bleeding events. The more effective a chemoprophylactic agent is in reducing the incidence of DVT, it may also effectively increase the risk from bleeding. Significant bleeding events occur in 1.8 to 5.1% of patients in the healthiest selected populations, creating significant morbidity for the patient and the surgeon.
Therefore, using evidence-based medicine, we must question the data that show that DVT is an accurate marker for the patient who has undergone total joint surgery and is at risk for PE. Without this evidence, the recommendations, as published in CHEST for the orthopedic medicine community, may be exposing our patients to expensive, risky, and perhaps minimally effective regimens.
I thank the authors for these comments and agree that the potential place of hemodialysis or hemofiltration in the treatment of patients with acute renal failure is indeed an important issue, but it is still very much under debate. As the authors state, few studies are currently available, and further research is needed to assess the available techniques, the optimal dose of dialysis, and the superiority of continuous over intermittent use.

So recently my sister and I had taken a mini vacation to Goa and it was with the sole idea of relaxing. We hung out at the peaceful beaches of South Goa and really enjoyed doing nothing. Just feeling the sand grains slip through our toes, sipping on lemon tea and watching the sunset behind the clouds as the wind playfully tugged at our tresses.
Here are some of the outfits that we wore.
I got this floral maxi dress from The Vanca recently and it was perfect. The flowiness of the dress allowed for enough and more air circulation. I tied my hair up completely because it was pretty sweaty and we were walking a lot.

I paired this dress with my favourite bracelet from The Dancing Jewels, hoops from Ginger, a watch I got from Bugis Street, Singapore and sunglasses from Vincent Chase. My super comfortable flipflops are from Rubi Shoes, Singapore.
I love shopping in tiny stores and bargaining with the shopkeepers. It always brings back great memories when I look that clothing item. So on our first day at Goa, I was looking to buy a flowy maxi or something in a pastel shade. I didn't like anything that I tried on in this tiny shop on the way to Colva beach. In the end I picked up a a crochet knit shrug and a pair of super comfy palazzo pants in black. I managed to bargain and get both together at 750INR.
The crochet shrug just really seemed to add a nice boho vibe to this red flowery dress that I wore last Women's day.

The long chain was a gift from my cousin and the earrings are from Lovisa, Singapore. This hat was bought when we went to Andaman 2 years ago and it is truly needed in places like Goa.
I wore a beaded bracelet that I got from Ants to add some more texture to the whole look.
I am really not a shorts wearing person. I feel way too conscious in it. Don't ask me why. This is the only pair of shorts that I own and I only wear it when I go to a beach. I picked this in Commercials a few years ago. Yes I know the shorts are not visible in any of the pictures. That's because I forgot to take a full length picture. But it is there in the video.
The tee shirt is from Splash, Abu Dhabi. Okay I know we have Splash here and you are probably wondering why I had to buy it from there.
Quick story- I was there on a work related trip a few months go and my trip got extended by a week and I kind of ran out of clothes, so I had to shop for some more (like I needed an excuse to shop)

I am wearing a bunch of bracelets all layered, from Chumbak, Ants and Lovisa. Just wanted to add some colour and different textures.
You can see how crazy frizzy my hair was but it was a beautiful day with an amazing breeze and it didn't feel too bad to leave my hair all out.
So this is one of my sister's favourite dresses. I love it too. We picked it up from Myntra some time ago and the fit was fantastic. She isn't really an accessories type of person, plus she does have that dimple which her best accessory, no doubt.

How Entrepreneurship Can Lead To Gender Parity
Imagine being trapped inside a cage. You would likely feel panicked and scared. Now imagine being trapped inside an invisible cage. Gender stereotypes continue to trap women around the world, and we often can't even see them.
People's lack of consciousness regarding the restrictions women face because of their gender, means that the inequality they face is continually perpetuated. Typically expected to be more devoted to their families, women have less access to opportunities in the workplace and their choices are often limited by the "gender expectations" of society. We must take action in order to break down the invisible cage that traps women around the world.
Entrepreneurship can strengthen women's confidence and push forward the idea of female labor force participation.
According to Payscale's Gender Pay Gap report, "Behavior that contributes to gender pay inequity is often the result of beliefs we don't even know we hold. We must become aware of these beliefs in order to correct subtle, discriminatory behavior and policy." Women deserve the same opportunities to pursue a better path towards career development, and should not be subject to subordinate roles based solely on their gender. But how do we work to change these beliefs and reach equal pay?
I believe that the answer to this issue in my country, China, lies in entrepreneurship for women. When faced with the opportunity to take on leadership roles in the workplace, Chinese women have high expectations, but low confidence. Bain & Company's Advancing Gender Parity in China report shows that 72 per cent of women in China have high expectations for their career paths in becoming an executive or manager in their workplace. However, the survey also shows that men in China commonly believe that they possess better leadership qualities than women, and such discriminatory thinking has reduced women's confidence regarding their capability in leadership roles. Entrepreneurship can strengthen women's confidence and push forward the idea of female labor force participation.
Embracing entrepreneurship will enable women to break through the glass ceiling and learn not to accept unfair treatment in the workplace. Right now, there are limited resources for entrepreneurship training in China, and these resources are often only accessible for highly-educated individuals. To make progress toward gender parity in China, I strongly advocate for entrepreneurship courses and related educational resources to be made available and accessible to women of all backgrounds and living conditions in China.
I, together with my co-founder, pledge to start a program called "Young Female Entrepreneurship Program," offering entrepreneurship training and resources for young women who don't have access to higher education. We will work to offer ways for women to learn specific skill sets that will allow them to become more aware of their entrepreneurship potential and develop their own career path with those skills. Through the training and mentorship we'll offer, these young women will learn basic financing, human resources management, and negotiation tactics, amongst other skills.
The course will be simplified and practical, and will incorporate lots of practice and interactive sessions to ensure that these young women acquire the skills they need. This is a small and easy step for every participant, but once women in China start to realize they have more options to explore and bigger goals to achieve, we will have made a lot of progress on the road to gender equality.
We will never know what the future will be like, the future depends on our actions -- let's work together to create a better working environment for women.
