By adding music to movement young kids gain so many more benefits beyond movement alone, and it is lots of fun!
From developing their language, memory and social skills to creative thinking and focused listening, they also start to build music foundations such as singing in tune and moving in time.
Children's brains grow at their fastest rate in the first three years of their life, so it makes sense to offer rich sensory learning experiences during this time such as musical activities.
So what can young kids get out of well-written music and movement experiences?
We know kids learn through doing, and that movement whether it's running around or dancing away to music, is critical in a child's development.
Movement is important for developing strength in their bones and muscles, developing their blood circulation and overall health.
Through songs which require movement or specific actions, children learn to co-ordinate their hands, feet and bodies in actions that are not normally part of everyday life, but can help develop extensive connections across their brain.
Songs with a beat or lyrics which encourage children to walk, hop, jump, gallop, skip, crawl, stamp, or creep all help develop their motor skills, balance and co-ordination.
Music motivates kids to move. Up-tempo music is energizing and fun and movement associated with that music oxygenates their brains, and pumps blood round their bodies making them feel good.
Songs which ask kids to swing, stretch, bend, twist and spin help to develop their body awareness and balance.
By immersing children in musical activities, they start to develop their language skills too.
Children's songs often have repeated phrases and use rhyme, which makes them easier for young kids to remember.
Songs which have words that describe their actions help children to understand language.
For example, if you sing a song about going up and down, and your hands and the melody move up and down, then your little one will start to develop a real understanding of the concepts 'up' and 'down'.
Words have syllables which can become rhythms, and an awareness of syllables helps spelling and reading later on.
Don't just play music and expect kids to get much benefit. Instead use musical activities to help them improve their memory.
Musical activities are multi-sensory and because they involve vision, hearing and movement, so many brain areas are involved.
There are lots of sequences in music too, whether they are words, rhythms, melodies or actions and these all help to make the memories and learning more lasting than just watching or hearing something.
Music builds focused listeners, and as adults, wouldn't we all love kids to be able to listen more effectively!
Because musical activities use sound, there are constant cues for the children to notice and react to.
They learn to drive their bodies in movements which match the music, then change them when the music or the lyrics asks them to.
Songs which are about pretending to do something or be something help develop kids' imagination as well as language associated with that topic.
For example, a song about digging in the garden uses different words (and actions) to one about flying a spaceship.
Songs can also help children to visualise what they're singing about.
Music and movement combined are a great way to stimulate young kids.
They listen to the music and then need to co-ordinate their walking in time with the beat.
They play the drum with their hands while co-ordinating their feet, building complex connections in their brain.
Sometimes the drum beat may be at half the speed that their feet are moving. This introduces maths concepts of division into their brain.
Children develop eye strength through hand-eye co-ordination as they bring their hands into contact with the drum. They also develop eye strength to focus on different objects/people at different distances as they move around and peripheral vision as they move around the room.
They develop body awareness by knowing how much space they take up in a room, and their spatial awareness by walking in free space around objects or other people while they are also moving.
They sing, using their ears to aid them in tuning their voice to match the song.
They develop their language capabilities by learning the words of the song, with the aid of the rhyme and rhythm.
They develop their memory by learning the sequence of words in the song.
They develop social skills by moving with other people, sharing a space and giving way to others.
You could be forgiven for thinking that children were just playing and dancing around, but in reality there are so many possible learning opportunities in well-written music and movement experiences.

Oh We Do Like To Redefine The Seaside
Calvert, Dave (2008) Oh We Do Like To Redefine The Seaside. In: Performing Heritage, 3rd - 5th April 2008, University of Manchester. (Unpublished)
Microsoft Word - Presentation
Official URL: http://www.plh.manchester.ac.uk/research/conferenc...
In 2005, Promenade Promotions undertook a Heritage Lottery Funded project that investigated the tradition of Pierrot troupes on the North Yorkshire coast. The project worked with four groups of young people in the county. Each group had an introductory workshop about this tradition, as well as training in research strategies and digital recording. They then carried out independent research focusing on particular coastal towns. They also accompanied The Pierrotters, Britain's last remaining Pierrot troupe, on a day of performance in the same town, recording interviews with audience members.
Having collected their material, each group created a small exhibition. The four separate exhibitions were then combined with archive material from Tony Lidington (founder member of The Pierrotters), to create a touring exhibition, currently on display at Ryedale Folk Museum.
The process therefore took performance as its focus and starting point, and worked from that towards a more conventional notion of museum presentation. The Pierrotters acted as a crucial factor in the interaction between participants and heritage, being the final practitioners of a tradition that has nearly vanished, and simultaneously a contemporary performance act.
For the participants, this (along with the regional focus of the project), enabled them to make connections between the present and the past. I would like to focus, in particular, on a class of learning disabled students from Goole College – usually the most disconnected of learners – and argue that through their research into performers and audiences, they were enabled to construct an identity that connected them historically, geographically and culturally with the present.

Antilles Oil & Gas (ASX:AVD) has acquired a 100% equity holding in a highly prospective block onshore Peru – Block 105.
AVD's Block 105 is 4,000 km2 in size, and is located in the Titicaca Basin of Peru. The block features a proven hydrocarbon system for both oil and gas and is on the same trend as the Pirin oil field – which has delivered historic oil production.
In addition to the onshore Peruvian acreage, AVD is also looking for further high value exploration assets in the Caribbean and South American regions.
AVD recently linked up with the US$250M market cap Norwegian marine geophysics company Polarcus (OTCMKTS:PLCS) to jointly search and bid for acreage in the Caribbean and this work will continue in parallel as it develops its oil and gas play in Peru.
Block 105 is set in a region of Peru with a number of oil and gas projects with existing infrastructure that could aid AVD's development activities. This includes the Peru LNG Project – which includes a pipeline spur into AVD's Block, and an export gas pipeline running through the centre of the block. In addition, a rail line could be utilised by AVD which runs to coastal ports enabling export of any discoveries.
AVD considers Block 105 to be highly prospective – oil seeps at the surface have been encountered and demonstrate a working hydrocarbon system there. Large-scale reservoirs are also interpreted from existing drilling conducted at the site.
As part of the deal, Block 105 carries a work programme of 2D seismic in the initial term and drilling in a subsequent exploration term. This work programme requires $2M to deliver, and will be carried out over a one-year period once the block is removed from Force Majeure.
Given its 100% ownership and small market cap, AVD will look to farm out a portion of the acreage in order to partly fund this programme.
A 2D seismic programme was conducted at Block 105 by previous owners prior to AVD's acquisition, and AVD is now preparing to reprocess and interpret the data that was gathered to enhance its understanding of the acreage.
AVD's Managing Director David Ormerod says Block 105 could be the first of a number of investments the company makes in the Central and South Americas: "AVD looks forward to rapid evaluation of Block 105 in this productive trend we have identified in Peru and the further development of our exploration portfolio," he says.


It tells you much about my knowledge of Rugby when I heard the newsman talking about Mr Warburton and thought it was about bread. It also says much about the power of adverts that I then thought of frogs. Too much TV watching while ill. Mr Sam Warburton is/was the Captain of the Wales Rugby team I believe.
As you know I have been working on an idea to join in the celebrations of the University regarding the first rugby game in Wales (Side tracked) .
I finished Algy and well he is cute (not something said of modern rugby players often unless to provoke them!!). The feedback was positive – we are to knit a team!!
So Saturdays in February and March from 1 O'clock come along and make arms, legs, heads or jumpers and longs. Some events will be in the University so watch this space. We'll see how many team members we have by the grand sew up event on Saturday 1st April. OH yes I know! The University team colours first then if we get enough help a modern-day Welsh team.
I will have to simplify the pattern for mass production and as has been pointed out he needs more shoulder and less hips!!! Its a chance to have a go at toy making and knitting with small needles and real wool. Free admission. They are made mostly in local wool. I need a source of local black for boots, otherwise we are off.
Happy New Year to all and hope you had a good rest. Over the 'holiday' we had a bad cold and man flu, probably the same bug as synchronised coughing was the order of the last week and a half, but in this case himself was worse than I so my conclusion –a gender specific germ.
The other consequence was very little energy to do anything, even eat!! However I was able to read knitting books and knit. Well — finish things, it takes more energy to start projects — well it does.
These are the trail silk and something Mr Wrack left for me to try its a deep rose colour I think he calls Cassiopeia. I made them short wrist length first but to use up the 100g skein I just picked up the cast on and worked back so they now go all the way to my elbow just what you need on a chilly day. It knits up a dream and is shiny and drapey and just what you'd expect from a yarn pimp!!
I like the connection, Cassiopeia is a star constellation, as a child it was one of the few I knew as it makes a big W shape. My family name begins with a W so it was one we looked out for. Did you see the crescent moon, Mars, and Venus display at the beginning of the week? nature is so awe-inspiring.

Smart Business: Mind Your Telephone Manners
By Jim Olsztynski
I'm in a bad mood right now, which makes it a good time to address a pet peeve. The reason is a phone call I made-two phone calls, actually-trying to reschedule an annual appointment with my ophthalmologist. My eye doctor is highly regarded but I can't say the same for his receptionist, who put me on hold three times during our conversation, the first time even before I had a chance to identify myself.
"Dr. Eyeball's office, please hold."
Doesn't it drive you up a wall when you get rejected even before you get a chance to say your name?
The second time was a few seconds into our conversation after she picked up the line again. I had enough time to tell her my name but not the purpose of my call, when she put me on hold again without asking my permission. There I stewed for perhaps 20 seconds, though it always feels like 20 minutes.
Third time it happened, I hung up and then redialed. Soon as she answered, I told her I'm tired of being put on hold, gave her my preferred date for a new appointment and left my number for her to call me back when she could confirm a booking for that date. She started to get sassy but I cut her short saying that the time it took to argue with me could be better spent rebooking my appointment. I then suggested she ask the doctor to send her to a class on customer service and telephone etiquette-"Or would you prefer that I tell him?" I asked.
She called back shortly afterward with a new date and an apologetic tone. I take no pleasure in haranguing telephone receptionists, yet I'm sorry to say it sometimes gets results.
But it shouldn't be necessary. I understand that sometimes things do get hectic. Nonetheless, whether you are in the doctoring business or any other kind, there are techniques for handling multiple incoming calls that doesn't try the patience of a caller.
Actually, the office had a solution already in hand, though they made poor use of it. I actually made three phone calls into the ophthalmologist's office. The first call reached a voice message system, which stated the office hours and said that if I reached this message during those hours, it was because both phone lines were tied up and to call back later, which I did.
Almost a good solution. What would have made it totally acceptable was a message inviting me to leave my number, with a promise to call me back as soon as the office staff had a free moment. The dentist I patronize has a system like that and I appreciate the fact that it shows consideration for the patient/customer.
What's At Stake
Annoyed though I may be at my eye doctor's phone reception, it's not enough to put me through the hassle of finding another ophthalmologist, especially since the one I visit has a top-notch reputation and what remains of my oh-so myopic eyesight is very important to me. But over the years I have blown off various home repair contractors whose telephone manners gave the impression of an amateurish organization.
People in need of construction services generally have many alternative companies to choose from and it doesn't take much for their fingers to start tapping another number on the keypad. Telephone receptionists tend to be the lowest-paid employees in most organizations. Often in small companies, this not a job unto itself but a secondary duty of office staffers who get annoyed at phone calls that interrupt their other chores. They may not even realize they're being impolite, yet unconscious discourtesy can drive away enormous amounts of business.
The person who answers your phone is like the leadoff batter in baseball. A team is much more likely to score when the leadoff man gets a hit than when he strikes out. Likewise, the person who answers your phone creates a first impression that can make or break business opportunities.
Telephone reception isn't brain surgery. It doesn't require extraordinary credentials or top pay. Still, whoever does the job ought to receive more than cursory training on what to say and how to handle predictable tricky situations, such as multiple incoming calls, dealing with irate callers, information requests, etc.
During my career, I've made thousands of phone calls to various organizations in the construction industry. Because the vast majority of construction firms are small and more trade than business-oriented, I've encountered many examples of bad telephone manners. I estimate that about half the phone calls I've made during my career have resulted in an unfavorable impression of the organization.
Unlike most business problems, solutions to this one are simple and cheap. It merely takes a little instruction in proper telephone and customer service techniques. Here are some of the deficiencies I routinely notice and how to correct them.
Consider an automated phone answering system.
Automated voice messaging has eliminated the need for phone receptionists in many companies. Everyone complains about automated answering but by now most people are familiar with them and shrug off the impersonality. Better to stick a customer with automated messaging than punish him with a lousy live receptionist. Nobody likes to deal with endless menu instructions but it's mostly large companies that have the complex systems. Smaller companies can get by with simpler menu options. One should always be, "Press zero to speak with a live operator."
Minimize on-hold.
If you must put callers on-hold, make it a point to keep them on no longer than 30 seconds at a time. After 30 seconds, get back on the line and say: "I'm sorry but it's taking a little longer than expected. Would you prefer to keep holding or can someone call you back?"
It's not only what you say but how you say it.
Face it: Answering the phone all day is not the world's most exciting job. Too often this boredom comes through in the receptionist's tone of voice. Even worse, some receptionists convey the feeling they're annoyed by the call, as if it's interrupting more pressing business-such as a boyfriend on the other line.
All of us have bad days but it's important for a phone receptionist to sound chipper at all times. A smile on one's face forces people to sound upbeat. Thus, a favorite trick of telemarketers and customer service reps is to keep a mirror by the phone at all times. They watch for and practice that smile as they speak. Not a bad idea for phone receptionists.
Clipped responses.
Often I hear, "He's not in right now." Then silence. Abrupt responses like this verge on being impolite. Instead of offering to take a message or patch into voice mail, the receptionist frequently will say instead, "You can reach him after five o'clock."
Inquiries often get answered with clipped responses, such as: "I don't know ... I'm afraid I can't help you ... We don't do that."
Short, negative responses come across as grouchy. They need to be replaced by, "I don't know but I'll try to put you in touch with someone who does."
Part of the problem is inadequately defining the telephone reception job. Everyone who answers the phone needs to undergo at least a few hours of training that emphasizes their customer service role. They must understand that their job is not only to answer telephones but to assist callers in getting to the right person or obtaining the right information. It's like military basic training, which teaches every soldier rudimentary combat skills. Similarly, every employee needs basic customer service skills.
Screening vs. welcoming.
On one hand, a phone receptionist is expected to deflect pesky salesmen but at the same time extend a warm welcome to potential customers or VIPs. A natural tug-of-war exists between these conflicting functions. Experienced phone receptionists develop a kind of radar that helps them distinguish important calls from nuisances but some are too inexperienced to pick up the signals.
Is there any foolproof way to screen out the pests without alienating potential customers? Probably not. So, instruct your receptionists to treat everyone politely and if there's any doubt, put the call through. The worst you can lose is a few minutes of time. Miscalculating, however, can cost you a lifetime worth of customers.
Dealing with angry callers.
Listen carefully. Be sure to understand the nature of the complaint.
Pause before responding. Never interrupt.
If anger turns to abuse, say, "Taking it out on me will not solve your problem. Please give me a chance to help you."
Avoid the word "you," as in, "You need to ..." Instead, say things like "I would recommend, or "May I suggest."
Top phone receptionists make every effort to ...
Answer every call on the first ring.
Tell the caller the name of the person and extension number when transferring, just in case of a disconnect.
Ask callers if it's OK to put them on hold before doing so.
Let the caller hang up first to guard against an abrupt, premature cutoff.

MAN OF ?LETTERS ?Jean-Dominique ?Bauby's best-?selling memoir ?has been brilliantly ?adapted for the ?screen by ?Julian Schnabel.
Painter-filmmaker Julian Schnabel's third picture — and by far his finest to date — is a celebration of the imagination. Imagination was nearly all 43-year-old Elle editor Jean-Dominique Bauby had left after suffering a massive stroke in 1995. A victim of a rare condition known as "locked-in syndrome," he had a mind that remained fully functional, while his body was paralyzed except for one eye. With the help of a speech therapist who would recite the alphabet until he blinked to select a letter, Bauby managed the herculean feat of dictating a memoir — which became an international bestseller.
Because Bauby's book reflects on the experience of adapting to an existence without movement or sensation, devising a way to make it work as a movie also required no small amount of imagination. Together with screenwriter Ronald (The Pianist) Harwood and longtime Spielberg cinematographer Janusz Kaminski, Schnabel has succeeded brilliantly, by taking us inside Bauby's head and through the universe of memory, emotion and fantasy he created to live in. They come as close as anyone has, I think, to capturing human consciousness on film.
In the opening scenes, we see what Bauby sees as he emerges from a coma. The camera is his eye. Hospital staff flicker in and out of focus. Time lurches and zigzags as he fades in and out of wakefulness. Doctors explain his condition to him. We hear him reply, but no one else can. Little by little, the nature of his nightmare sinks in.
The splendid French actor Mathieu Amalric gives two performances in the lead role — one as the hip celebrity trendsetter who appears in Bauby's recollections and dreams, and the other as the darting, protruding eye attached to the stroke victim's shriveled body. Tying the two together is an interior monologue in which Amalric gives voice to the warmth, sadness, lust and humor that fueled Bauby's inner life and made his book such a remarkable creation.
Among the movie's numerous achievements is its ability to tell the story of a man confronting catastrophic illness without succumbing to bathos or becoming just another disease-of-the-week weepie. It's one of the most singular stories of heroism you're ever likely to see. One of the most visually adventurous, as well. "I can imagine anything," Bauby wrote. And I suppose that's true of us all — though a more artful adaptation of his book would be difficult to conceive.

Wendy Williams' Son, Kevin Hunter Jr. Evicted From Miami Apartment
He was hit with a lawsuit requesting $70,000 in back rent.

Wendy Williams and son, Kevin Hunter Jr.
Several outlets are reporting that Kevin Hunter Jr., the 22-year old son of Wendy Williams and her ex-husband, Kevin Hunter, has been thrown out of his Miami apartment for lack of rent payment. Apparently, Hunter was evicted after receiving notice of unpaid rent in August 2022 for nearly $70,000. The lawsuit contends that the last time he paid rent was in February 2022, according to PEOPLE.com.

A copy of his lease filed in court explains that Williams paid over $100,000 for a year's rent on the luxury accommodations, starting in March 2021 and ending in February 2022. Hunter says his mother had every intention of buying the property, but then described her continuous health problems as the reason why she was unable to do so.
In a letter to the court, Hunter detailed that his mother's finances are no longer in her control. As a result, Williams' cash flow has come to an abrupt halt leaving both her son and her ex-husband with a decrease in their financial support, including his housing.
Once the lease was up in February, Williams professed that her bank, Wells Fargo, had denied her access and frozen her financial accounts. The bank did so in response to her former advisor Lori Schiller who said that Williams "was of unsound mind."
Hunter says he planned to continue paying the rent after his lease was up but the landlord filed the lawsuit after several months of unpaid rent.
"l had to pause my education for a full academic year because of COVID and to care for my mom," said Hunter in the statement filed in August 2022. "Even though my name is on the lease, my mom was paying, and for medical and legal reasons, she has not been able to pay the rent for the past months since the 1 year lease ended and the court has controlled her finances."
After some erratic encounters filmed by the paparazzi earlier this year, Williams issued a statement that she was planning to spend some time at a Malibu, California wellness facility. She made her first public appearance at WBLS's Circle of Sisters event two weeks ago in New York City where her fans took time to show her how much she is still loved.
Hunter, who is Williams' only child, is said to have found another place to live while the situation sorts itself out. Fans are still awaiting details about Williams' plan to launch a podcast.

Public Service Women
A Filipino Woman for the Filipino Women
By Maricar "Chi" Laigo Vallido, Philippines
Maricar "Chi" Laigo Vallido was among the first cohort of QUT's special course on NGO Management and Leadership Development funded by AusAID in 2002. The course included an Internship in an Australian NGO/non-profit organization and she completed her internship at the Australian Reproductive Health Alliance in Canberra. Returning from her program at QUT, she continued her work as Deputy Executive Director of the Philippine NGO Council for Population, Health and Welfare (PNGOC). PNGOC is an alliance of 100 NGOs all over the Philippines and implements activities such as advocacy campaign development trainings, reproductive health rights orientation, adolescent and youth leadership development, resource mobilization among others.
The QUT-Specialized program on NGO Management and Leadership for me was more than just learning to think strategically to make my organization sustainable and less funder-dependent. The program helped me become a better mentoring-leader. That an organization is made stronger by a leader who is able to pass the torch to an equal or equals – an organization of leaders.
In 2008, Chi Vallido moved to a new organization, Forum for Family Planning and Development (The Forum) where she helped strengthened the capacity of The Forum as an advocacy organization. From having single-short term project, Chi helped build the reputation of the organization as a strong development and advocacy partner for sexual and reproductive health and population and development programs. Before long, The Forum was managing multi-year projects supported by organizations like UNFPA, UNWomen, WHO, IPPF and Catholics for Choice. From 2008-2013, Chi managed a monthly press conference called Usapang PopDev where issues on population and development particularly reproductive health rights were discussed by experts. Usapang PopDev is part of the advocacy strategies of The Forum which has become among the leading civil society organizations in the frontlines of the campaign for the passage of the country's reproductive health law.
Being a Roman Catholic and a Reproductive Health (RH) rights advocate, Chi Vallido was also very vocal about her belief that a good Catholic was also an RH rights advocate. Together with seven of her friends, they founded the Catholics for RH Speak-Out Movement in 2009 which has since become a registered non-government organization called Catholics for RH (C4RH). After 14 years of advocacy campaigning, the Responsible Parenthood and Reproductive Health Law was passed in December, 2012 and upheld constitutional by the Supreme Court in 2014.
In 2015, The Forum received a multi-million grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Chi wrote the project proposal and managed the five-year project that also provided sub-grants to other NGOs to help sustain the advocacy for RH at the national and local government levels. By the end of the grant in 2020, the project was instrumental for the passage of at least 30 policies, ordinances and executive orders in the five provinces of the project. At the national level, The Forum and its partner NGOs also contributed to the advocacy for increased annual budget for RH and the passage of other health and gender empowerment laws.
Chi was also the conference coordinator of the first and second National Family Planning Conferences in the Philippines held in 2017 and 2018 respectively where President Rodrigo Duterte consistently gave statements of support and commitment to the country's family planning program. While Chi believes that CSOs should work together with the government to maximize the impact of programs in the communities, she also says that "those of us in the NGO sector must also be the voices of the communities we serve." When the current Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte catcalled a woman journalist during a national press conference, Chi felt that there may be a silencing of women's voices. This was a feeling shared by many feminists and activists. But at that time, Duterte was hugely popular and had an army of social-media followers who threatened critics with bodily harm and verbal abuse online.
Women activists had been threatened with rape and other bodily harm when they spoke against Duterte. We were worried of course. I also have a daughter. But we can't give in to fear.
In March 2017, a few months after Duterte was elected President, Chi co-founded the Women Writing Women Philippines with three other journalist and activist friends. WWW Phils. (www.womenwritingwomen.com) is a social media and news organization and describe themselves as "a group of empowered women journalists, writers, artists, advocates and trainers who champion women's rights by challenging the narratives that delimit girls and women from understanding the world of bigger truths and realities." When COVID-19 gripped the world and pushed the country into months of lockdown, WWW Phils. started documenting experiences of Filipino women in a series called COVID-19 Journals in their site. The essays and stories in their website is now published into a book that the group launched on July 23, 2021 through the support for Gantala Press, a feminist publishing company.
We are so proud of this book and we are grateful to the women who trusted us with their stories. It was important for us to document this time in our history and we wanted to help make sure that the stories of resilience of women and girls during this pandemic is heard. For me, it doesn't matter who we turn off. What matters is who we inspire.

White House officials are crafting a fiscal 2018 budget proposal for President Donald Trump that aims to wipe out the deficit through a combination of robust economic growth, steep cuts in certain means-tested entitlement programs and other savings.
Trump would aim to balance the federal budget within 10 years. His plan relies on Congress passing a comprehensive tax overhaul and other policies, such as deregulation. The administration believes these approaches will jump-start the economy, causing economic growth to ramp up to 3 percent in the coming decade, people with knowledge of the plan said.
While the Trump budget request is not final and could be changed, these sources also said it would propose about $800 billion in cuts to projected spending in a wide array of means-tested, mandatory spending programs including Medicaid over 10 years. The proposed reductions in Medicaid would go beyond those in a House-passed health care overhaul.
Trump is not expected to propose any major changes in Social Security or Medicare. He pledged not to cut these programs during the campaign. But sources said the budget will include proposals to reduce the cost of the Social Security Disability Insurance program, which is not means-tested.
It's not clear which programs might be cut beyond Medicaid but means-tested mandatory spending programs include food stamps, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, Supplemental Security Income, child nutrition programs and the Pell Grant program.
Proposed cuts to any of these programs would likely spark great controversy among advocates and pushback among Democrats already trying to capitalize on the health care bill.
The economic growth forecast in the Trump plan is considerably higher than what the Congressional Budget Office and private forecasters expect. In January, the CBO projected a much lower average, 1.9 percent growth in gross domestic product through 2027.
The CBO forecast, however, assumed no change in current laws. The White House forecast will assume enactment of all the proposals in the budget, which the administration believes would lead to more growth.
Stronger economic growth could help chip away at the deficit by raising an additional $2 trillion or more in tax revenue over a decade, according to some estimates.
White House Budget Director Mick Mulvaney said March 19 he was trying to balance the budget within 10 years. "It's very difficult," he told NBC's "Meet the Press." Since then, the White House has shared few details of the plan.
The Office of Management and Budget declined to comment on or confirm any of CQ Roll Call's reporting.
Trump's full fiscal 2018 budget, which is expected the week of May 22, would be the first spending plan from a president that charts a path toward balance since before Barack Obama was elected president in 2008. None of Obama's budgets would have eliminated the deficit within the 10-year budget window.
Some lawmakers and budget experts have assumed Trump could not write a balanced budget, in part because he had vowed not to cut Social Security or Medicare — the largest drivers of spending growth. He had also promised to build a costly wall at the Mexican border, implement a $1 trillion infrastructure rebuilding program, and cut taxes.
The challenge of writing a budget that proposes specific policies to eliminate the deficit is further illustrated by the CBO's projection that, assuming no change in current laws, the deficit would rise to $1.4 trillion by 2027, pushing the gross national debt up to $30 trillion.
Republicans on the House Budget Committee are working on a fiscal 2018 budget resolution that would balance by wresting about $8 trillion in savings over 10 years.
In March, the White House released an outline of its first-year discretionary budget. The proposal asked for a $54 billion increase in defense in fiscal 2018, offset by $54 billion in nondefense discretionary cuts.
The full budget will contain the president's proposals to increase defense spending and reduce certain nondefense programs over the remainder of the 10 years, as well as his proposals for taxes and for the mandatory spending programs that account for two-thirds of spending.
The proposed Medicaid cuts in the full budget would be in addition to the proposals to turn Medicaid into a block grant and give states more flexibility to run the program in a GOP health care bill, people with knowledge of the plan said. The House passed legislation to partly repeal and replace the 2010 health care law last week, and the Senate is working on its own version.
Other savings would come from a plan to reduce the hundreds of billions of dollars in improper payments made by government agencies, as well as finding and eliminating waste, fraud and abuse in multiple federal programs. On May 3, U.S. Comptroller General Gene L. Dodaro told the House Budget Committee that in fiscal 2016 alone, the federal government made an estimated $144 billion in improper payments.
The administration believes spending can be further reduced through an initiative that requires federal agencies to scrutinize their budgets for potential savings from improving efficiency and effectiveness, merging or eliminating agencies or programs, or ending activities that are better left to state or local government or the private sector.
As the deficit falls, the government also saves money as a result of less borrowing.
A budget that cuts spending can benefit from a macroeconomic analysis that shows deficit reduction producing economic benefits. For example, the fiscal 2017 budget resolution written in 2016 by House Budget Chairman Tom Price, who is now secretary of Health and Human Services, gained more than $400 billion in additional deficit reduction from a CBO analysis that estimated the falling deficit envisioned under the plan and the repeal of the health care law would increase economic activity.
White House officials said Trump's plan to cut tax rates, simplify the tax code and make changes to the way U.S. companies are taxed on overseas profits will pay for itself primarily through economic growth but also through eliminating deductions, credits and other tax breaks.
The projections of increased revenue will rely in part on dynamic scoring, a method of analysis that estimates how much the economy will grow as a result of legislation, and what amount of additional revenue will be produced by the economic expansion and then "feed back" into the federal budget.
The budget assumes the loss of about $1 trillion in revenue from repealing an array of taxes created by the 2010 health care law. That assumption could change if the Senate and House ultimately pass a bill that retains some of the taxes in the health care proposal.

Jews for sale:Nazi(German)-Jewsh negotiation by Y. Bauer:Double Standards on Nazi Collaboration and Widespread Holocaust Awareness. Jewish Victimhood Absolutism. Newer Books Identified
jan peczkis|Saturday, June 23, 2018
My review identifies and focuses on deeper issues, related to the Shoah, than the specific Jewish-Nazi negotiations for the release on some Jews. Consider the following:
DOUBLE STANDARD: JEWISH COLLABORATION AND POLISH COLLABORATION
In discussing the beginning of the deportations of the Jews of Slovakia, to their deaths, author and Holocaust scholar Yehuda Bauer comments, "The key role in this was played by Karel Hochberg, a Jewish engineer, who had become Wisliceny's helper and head of the internal 'department for special tasks.' Hochberg was in the mold of Jewish traitors during the Nazi period. In Warsaw there was Abraham Gancwajch, head of the Gestapo-supported police, who tried to snatch the leadership of the ghetto from the head of the Judenrat, Adam Czerniakow, and who believed in the final Nazi victory; in Krakow there was the head of the Jewish special police, Szpiro, a Hasidic Jew who became a Gestapo agent—and there were others, not surprisingly, under the impossible pressure of the Nazi murderers." (p. 70).
And there you have the standard, canned exculpation. I never hear of "the impossible pressure of the Nazi murderers" (despite the fact that millions of ethnic Poles were being murdered by the Germans) when the subject of Poles betraying (or killing) Jews is brought up! Finally, whoever heard of the "Jewish complicity in the Holocaust" in the light of the facts provided by Bauer, and countless others?
DOUBLE STANDARD: INFORMATION THAT THE HOLOCAUST IS TAKING PLACE, AND THE INTERNALIZATION OF SUCH INFORMATION (TWO DIFFERENT THINGS)
Holocaust scholar Yehuda Bauer discusses the apparently-plentiful information, on German actions elsewhere, available to Hungarian Jews by mid-1944, on the eve of their annihilation. He writes, "The question is, however, is whether this information was internalized and turned into knowledge. It is quite likely that in villages and among uneducated people in towns the information would have been either unavailable or hazy; but it is difficult to believe that it did not reach most Hungarian Jews. Because it was life-threatening, it was largely rejected." (p. 151)
Author Bauer then generalizes on this issue, "We must differentiate between information and its INTERNALIZATION, or 'knowledge'…Internalization—that is, acceptance of information as correct and thinking in accordance with that information, and later possibly action—is a complicated process. During the Holocaust countless individuals received information and rejected it, suppressed it, or rationalized about it, or seemingly internalized it and then behaved as though it had never reached them. This is true not only of people who were outside the kingdom of death but also of people within it." (p. 72; Emphasis added).
In fact, this is applicable to all people who went through WWII! Consider neo-Stalinist Jan Grabowski vel Abrahamer and his media-promoted JUDENJAGD, in which he portrays Poles denouncing and killing Jews as "complicit in the Holocaust" (standard Holocaustspeak). Apart from the fact that most Polish killings of Jews were driven by fear of the Germans, protection from Jewish banditry, etc., the media-promoted "Polish complicity in the Holocaust" meme overlooks the fact that most Poles (especially rural ones) had only a hazy awareness of the fact that the Nazis (Germans) were out to kill all Jews. So Poles can hardly be "complicit in the Holocaust", if only because they had—at best—a dim awareness of the Holocaust. [Remember also that it took a VERY long time for most Polish Jews to also come to the realization that they were collectively doomed.]
JEWISH VICTIMHOOD ABSOLUTISM: AUTHOR YEHUDA BAUER LAMBASTES RABBI WEISSMANDEL
Attention is now focused on the negotiations intended to reduce or end the shipment of Slovakian Jews to the death camps. Consider the role of Rabbi Michael Dov Ber Weissmandel. Author Bauer inveighs against Weissmandel for criticizing the Zionists and the JDC for what Weissmandel sees as their criminal negligence during the negotiations. Bauer then loses all sense of objectivity as makes he makes sweeping assertions about "Weissmandel's hatred of the JDC and of the Zionists". (p. 89). To top it all off, Bauer concludes, "In other words, according to Weissmandel, the Jews were responsible for their own murder." (p. 90). This is beyond ridiculous. Disagreeing with Weissmandel's faulting of some Jews for inadequate action during the Holocaust, and accusing Weissmandel of saying that Jews caused their own murder—these are two entirely different things. No rational person insinuates that the Jews were responsible for their own murder.
It is hard to escape the conclusion that Yehuda Bauer is promoting a Jewish-victimhood absolutism, in which not a single detail of what took place could ever be the fault of ANY Jew. At very least, this is an attempted manipulation of Holocaust discourse.
NEW SCHOLARLY WORKS ON KASZTNER, HIMMLER, AND JEWISH-RELEASE NEGOTIATIONS
Because this book is outdated with reference to its main subject area, I recommend these up-to-date works [See my reviews]:
Kasztners Crime (Jewish Studies)
In the Name of Humanity: The Secret Deal to End the Holocaust


Whenever I mention how long I go in between hair washes, I get inundated with shocked face emojis and questions on how I do it. So thought I would do ONE WEEK worth of photos and hair styles, showing what products and tools I use to keep my hair looking good (or 'presentable') over that time. I actually go more like TWO weeks between washes, however I know that is a bit extreme for most, so I thought ONE week is a bit more achievable. So I've condensed down what I would do across the two weeks, into one.
Before we get to the hair styles… a quick word on hydration. Hydration is not only super important for your body, but also for your hair. If your hair follicles lack water, your hair may become dry or brittle… this can slow down and even stop the growth of your hair. So it's super important to stay hydrated! Staying hydrated helps in retaining the natural beauty of your hair and helps it grow thick and long. I'm not going to pretend I'm perfect, and drink my recommended intake of water every single day, but I do try my best! This summer I've been having OVI Hydration drinks most days. They're a delicious infusion of water, fruit juice, honey and natural minerals with antioxidants from green tea, designed to keep you hydrated.
My headaches have been noticeably less and I've enjoyed the different flavours, encouraging me to drink.
WASH: I don't use a lot of products in my hair. Just a good purple shampoo from my hairdresser and then cheap supermarket shampoo + conditioner. I don't find purple shampoos to do a great job at giving my hair a really good wash (and after two weeks – it needs it!), so I purely use that for the toning factor and use the other shampoo for a real wash (before the purple shampoo). I wash my hair in the shower at night and leave to dry naturally while I sleep.
DAY 2: No products today. We're trying to make it to a week remember, so don't whip out the dry shampoo yet! Give your roots a ruffle up and whip your hair up into a bun or pony tail (I'm a mum-bun gal but have done a pony to show you, or you might get sick of my mum-buns!) if you don't want to have another down straight day. If your hair is looking/feeling a bit oily you could tease some of the roots so that it doesn't look too slicked back when you tie it up. Pulling a few shorter strands of hair out around your face is nice too, if you like that kind of look.
DAY 3: Alright, first day of dry shampoo! My holy grail product! Give it a decent spray all over your roots and then use your fingers to massage it in (or you'll look grey). Now, lets not waste the dry shampoo by tying our hair up… grab your straightener or curling wand and put some curls in the ends of your hair. Messy curls are "in" so don't worry if they're uneven, you can even give it a brush through to really loosen them up. You could use hairspray on the ends if your hair doesn't hold curls well.
DAY 4: I know by now you probably REALLY want to wash your hair, or wear it up… but we're going to try another day down. Even if you only last till lunch time – thats cool. Are you noticing a pattern here? Down, up, down, up… You'll likely still have some messy curls from the day before, so give them a ruffle up and you're good to go. You could try changing your part for a different look. No products today!
DAY 5: Alright, you can breathe a sigh of relief – it's mum-bun from here on in! Go hard on the dry shampoo today, because none tomorrow! You can pony tail it, or bun – whatever floats ya boat.
Day 6: For me – today is mum-bun take 2, no extra dry shampoo today… ya'll have seen those memes right? The 90% dry shampoo ones? I ALWAYS get tagged in them, and now you know why!
If you're not a huge bun gal, you could do a pony tail on bun days – you could also change it up by putting your pony into a plait! I've done that here to show you an example.
If you don't already own it, and haven't figured out from this post so far that you NEED to own it… then this is me telling you to GO AND BUY SOME DRY SHAMPOO!
Try not to touch your hair too much, that brings out the natural oils in your hair faster than necessary – so keep your mitts off your head!
If you're not a huge hair down person, no big deal -tie it up! But don't go up down up down all day long. That's extra touching – and same as the first tip, will make your hair oilier than you want it.
Buy yourself a shower cap. The extra moisture from the shower gets all on your hair on non-wash days, which can make the straighten/curls not last as well. So keeping your hair bone dry is a goodie!
I hope you've enjoyed this blog! I've been recently researching the whole 'no poo' thang and I'm eager to do it – maybe that'll be my next hair related blog post!
Thanks OVI Hydration for sponsoring this post and for keeping me hydrated this summer!
Disclaimer: No you do not have to be a Mum to wear these pants, heck you can be a male and wear these pants if it floats ya boat.
I call them 'Mum uniform' because, well… we have those days where we 1. Don't fit our jeans or 2. Just don't want to wear jeans all day. But we also know we have to leave the house at some stage, so those ugly 'never be seen by the public' trackies aint gonna cut it! 'Mum uniform' pants don't dig into the extra loving we have on our hips, or cling to the extra sagging of that mum bootay that grew 10 times the size in pregnancy. They're perfect really. So say hello to the 'mum uniform' 😉 Paired with whatever top you like, jandals/chucks, mum bun and you're ready to rock!
Madame Goblin – Madame Basic Pant + Madame Super Stripe Pant – $99. Sizes XS-L.
Bam + Boo – MumMe Duffle Pants -$69.95. Sizes S-L. These are made from a beautifully soft organic cotton, super light weight and can be worn either down to the ankle or you can pull the ankle up a bit so they're shorter (as shown in pic).
Pagan Marie – Kombie Pant – $55. Sizes 6-16.
The Warehouse – Jersey Harem Pant – $20.00. Sizes 8-16.
So here's how it goes… we book in a date night eg last night for our wedding anniversary. I am super excited about it all day and leaving for it… then I get out and start feeling ill. Like I could vomit. I can stomach liquids but can't stomach my meal. Most times I order food thinking 'Jordan get over yourself and just eat the food' but I take a few measly mouthfuls then call it a night. This happens every time. Every time we go out without the kids, every time I've ever gone away overnight (okay it's only been like three times every – but every time I've got sick). Nare's words 'You're as attached to the kids as they are to you'. Yes that sounds uber lame. But it's true… I have separation anxiety just like they do.
It's not because I'm worried about who I've left them with either, I only ever leave them with friends or family that I 100% trust and feel comfortably if the kids would wake. I just come up with all these crazy scenarios… what if there's another big earthquake, what if we had a car crash and the kids lost us both, what if there was a fire. I know it's silly but I literally can not shut off from those thoughts!
I've spoken about my anxiety around the earthquakes before, but it's obviously so much more than that and has been around for longer… but I've never admitted it. I've never said 'I have anxiety'. I suppose I didn't believe I did and it always sounded so silly telling people about how leaving my kids makes me physically ill.
I saw this term used today, referring to some clothing that someone claimed is "too expensive for the average Mum".
It got me thinking… What makes an average Mum? Am I average? Are you average? Seriously, what is this 'average Mum' category?
So I'm over here thinking I'm just another 'average Mum', but this person who commented the above – obviously thinks I'm not. Because ironically I'm wearing the garment in question, in my Facebook profile picture. So she is average, and I'm not. Right? No, wrong.
We are on one income. My husband works to pay the bills and support us. We own a home, we have a mortgage, we pay house/contents/car/life insurances. Sounds pretty average to me – right? Yes I do some paid blog work, but I tell you – it's far from a full time job/income, because I have children and don't have enough time to make it one. It's great having a little extra money – not gonna lie… and when it comes in, it is usually spent on stuff for the kids or stuff for the house that we've been wanting. Still sounds pretty average, yeah?
I on-sell my kids clothes that they've grown out of, to build up some money to purchase new stuff for the next season. Again – I'm sure this is a done thing and pretty average.
My husband and I don't buy a lot of clothes for ourselves. I get gifted the odd garments, which I am always so grateful for. But other than that, I shop at places like Cotton On – average places.
My husband, the amazing man he is… knows how much I love the Love Knot War items I've been gifted in the past. So for my Birthday and Christmas he bought me a few of their dresses. He put them on layby and paid them off in small amounts as he could and so that I wouldn't notice it in our bank statements. I had no clue! Clever, clever and average. Obviously I don't think my husband is average, I think he's amazing and I was blown away that he put so much thought into 3 beautiful garments – but what I'm saying is that he used a layby system just like your average jo.
My point… I'm just another 'average Mum'. I'm just as 'average' as the next woman walking down the street. We're an 'average' one income family just doing their best.
Actually, that's not my point! My point is: there is no 'average Mum'! I'm the same as the next Mum, we're just a normal one income family doing our best. If you can't afford that expensive dress and it's not a priority to layby one or save for one – that's totally cool! But please don't put yourself in a different category to me or anyone else, and claim that you're therefore an 'average Mum'. Because you're not! You're a Mum. Full stop. You put your children above yourself, just like the rest of us. You *heart eyes* at lots of different things you'd love to buy yourself. You fill up your online shopping cart, cancel out of it, then go and buy something that your kids need. You're a Mum, I'm a Mum.

Jean Catoire
J. Catoire
Jean Catoire (01/04/1923 - 09/11/2005), a French composer. He was born in Paris of Russian �migr� parents whose origins were French and German. Catoire's musical thought is essentially Pythagorean: it is the laying bare of pure musical sound, in which a worldly concern for the language of words and the rhythms of speech are of no consequence. As a 'music of the spheres' it recognises only the resonance and pulse of pure-being perceived in sound.

The requiem antiphons
Period: Modernism
Duration: 5'35
Label(s): Virgin 7243 5 45324 2
The requiem antiphons (opus 195), for solo voice and bells, are extremely austere, with a slow-moving melody that's haunting and somewhat disorienting. In this company, Hildegard's soaring melodies sound almost luxuriant.
Author: Matthew Westphal
The requiem antiphons (6 movements) of 1970 display a music which is pure, exact and impassive ; yet it is a music which remains sensual. Unlike Arvo Part's beautiful but austere and fragile style Catoire's impassivity is immediately and unashamedly appealing. The 'Introit' refrain, which opens and closes the Requiem and recurs frequently throughout, is as beguiling as any moment from the Requiems of Faur� or Durufl�; unlike these, however, it never loses itself in the drama or sentiment of its text.
This recording (Extasia - A Requiem Sequence, Virgin records, 1999) explores musical space and stillness by uniting the spirituality of two millennial ages. It brings together for a first time the extraordinary work of the contemporary French composer, Jean Catoire, and that of the twelfth-century German abbess, Hildegard Von Bingen. They meet on this disc with a requiem by Catoire providing a frame-work for Hildegard's ecstatic 'Antiphons' and 'Responds'. Alongside are plainsong, organ Interludes and meditative 'Requiem Antiphons', all by Catoire, to complete the sequence. Though distinct in voice and style and distanced by over eight hundred years, the creative instincts of Catoire and Hildegard are strangely akin.

Over 40 people gathered on the corner of 101 Street and 112 Avenue on a beautiful Saturday afternoon in May to participate in the fourth annual Spruce Avenue Jane's Walk.
Every year, thousands of free, independently organized and guided community walks happen on or around the birthday of Jane Jacobs, an urban planning icon and activist. Her work is an inspiration to urban enthusiasts like Spruce Avenue resident and walk leader Wesley Andreas.
For the past three years, Andreas explored the Polish history of the area, but this year he focused on neighbourhood house histories.
"I've been going on Jane's Walks as a participant since they first spread beyond NYC and Toronto to Calgary in 2008 and I was always interested in leading one myself. When I moved to Edmonton, going on walks is how I first learned about the city," said Andreas.
Andreas has been working on a community history project through Spruce Avenue Community League. Part of the project includes Andreas working with residents to research their heritage homes. In the past year, he secured funding to have historical plaques created for participating homes. Approximately 25 Spruce Avenue houses have these signboards listing the names and occupations of their original owners.
Nineteen of these heritage homes were listed on the handout that walkers received, along with nine other historical points of interest such as Spruce Avenue School and the fire (now ambulance) station rebuilt in 1966 to replace the 1911 original.
Andreas, an urban geographer by training, did extensive research and brought several historic photos to share. Early in the walk, he quoted a past resident named Eleanor Cleary, which caused some excitement in the group as two of the walkers announced that she was their great aunt. This was very much in keeping with the spirit of Jane's Walks, which promote walkability, community, and education.
On 102 Street between 113 and 114 Avenues, Andreas stopped to discuss the impact of the Hudson's Bay land sale in the 1930s, and to point out several houses built in the four-square style popular in the 1910s. Resident Ken Harcus said he and his family have bought and fixed up four different houses on that block since 1974, raising their five children in the process, one of whom now lives with his family next door to Ken and his wife Elaine.
On 101 Street, Andreas told the story of his own heritage home, which was one of three built by the Upright brothers who owned a tinsmithing business.
In the northwest quadrant of the neighbourhood, much of the land was used as an extension of the military bases at Blatchford Field during the Second World War. In fact, there was a plan to evacuate all Alaskan residents into this small area if it were ever under attack.
After the war, that land was redeveloped into the residential area it is now, but with the curving streets and bungalows popular in the 1950s and 60s. At the time, it was considered a style of infill not in keeping with the character of the neighbourhood and elicited considerable debate among residents not unlike, Andreas pointed out, the infill debates we have today in mature neighbourhoods.
Between the impressive turnout, the lovely weather, the skillful leadership of Andreas, and the enthusiastic participants, this Jane's Walk was a success.

CHARLOTTE COUNTY REPUBLICAN EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
The Republican Party was formed in the early 1850's by anti-slavery activists and individuals who believed that government should grant western lands to settlers free of charge.
The first informal meeting of the party took place in Ripon, Wisconsin, a small town northwest of Milwaukee. The first official Republican meeting took place on July 6th, 1854 in Jackson, Michigan. The name "Republican" was chosen because it alluded to equality and reminded individuals of Thomas Jefferson's Democratic-Republican Party.
At the Jackson Convention, the new party adopted a platform and nominated candidates for office in Michigan. In 1856, the Republicans became a national party when John C. Fremont was nominated for President under the slogan: "Free soil, free labor, free speech, free men, Fremont."
Even though they were considered a "third party" because the Democrats and Whigs represented the two-party system at the time, Fremont received 33% of the vote. Four years later, Abraham Lincoln became the first Republican to win the White House.
45th President of the United States of America
Born in New York City on June 14, 1946, Donald Trump joined the New York Military Academy in Cornwall in 1959, followed by Fordham University and the Wharton School of Business. In 1973, Trump was appointed board president of the Trump Organization and, subsequently, became a well known TV personality.
Donald Trump announced his Presidential candidacy in June 2015, pointing our that the main issues for the USA were illegal immigration, Islamic terrorism, and U.S. national debt. His campaign slogan was "Make America Great Again".
Donald Trump has been married to First Lady Melania Trump since 2006 and their son, Barron, was born in 2006. President Trump has 4 more children from previous marriages: Donald Jr. (1977), Ivanka(1981), Eric (1984), Tiffany (1993), and eight grand-children.
Michael Richard Pence was born on Jun 7, 1959, in Columbus, Indiana. He graduated from Hanover College and earned a law degree from the Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law before entering private practice.

I am a Republican because .....
I BELIEVE the strength of our nation lies with the individual and that each person's dignity, freedom, ability and responsibility must be honored.
I BELIEVE in equal rights, equal justice and equal opportunity for all, regardless of race, creed, sex, age or disability.
I BELIEVE free enterprise and encouraging individual initiative have brought this nation opportunity, economic growth and prosperity.
I BELIEVE government must practice fiscal responsibility and allow individuals to keep more of the money they earn.
I BELIEVE the proper role of government is to provide for the people only those critical functions that cannot be performed by individuals or private organizations and that the best government is that which governs least.
I BELIEVE the most effective, responsible and responsive government is government closest to the people.
I BELIEVE Americans must retain the principles that have made us strong while developing new and innovative ideas to meet the challenges of changing times.
I BELIEVE Americans value and should preserve our national strength and pride while working to extend peace, freedom and human rights throughout the world.
FINALLY, I believe the Republican Party is the best vehicle for translating these ideals into positive and successful principles of government.

Do you have assets you'd like to protect?
Do you need to ensure your nest egg remains untouched and unbroken?
Is your Social Security your only source of income?
Will you soon or already be eligible for Medicaid?
Are your retirement assets negligent?
If you answered "yes" to these questions, then you probably won't need long term care insurance, but you should discuss it with your agent anyway.
First things first: Long term care is not ideal for everyone. As mentioned above, if you have little to no retirement savings and are currently receiving Social Security payments, you most likely could not afford the additional expense. For these reasons, you should qualify for state assistance, which supersedes the need for LTCI.
Be certain you understand what is typically covered under an LTCI policy, and conversely, what is not covered with long term care insurance. Don't ever hesitate to pose questions to your agent or advisor or to the carriers that offer this coverage.
Ask for guidance from your retirement planner or insurance agent on determining if LTCI is appropriate for your individual situation. If he or she agrees, ask for help budgeting it in your lifestyle, and also ask them to provide you with a list of LTCI companies they work with so you can do some independent research.
If you don't want to become a burden to your loved ones (both from a financial and caregiving point of view), then LTCI is certainly worth investigating. This is also true if you'd like to have more control over which type of facility you'll receive care.
What is and what is not covered by your premium You'll also want to investigate the strength and reputation of each company, and that they possess the correct licenses to offer this product. Contact your state insurance department to verify your findings or to dig deeper into a company about which you have questions.
Learn to watch the rates. Start by checking with the state insurance department to see how your state regulates premium increases among LTCI providers, and then conduct a bit of research n the major carriers you're considering and evaluate their respective histories of raising rates for this coverage.
Try to avoid solely relying on Medicare or Medicaid to pick up the tab for you long term care. While Medicare pays for a small amount of certain nursing home costs, if you want to qualify for Medicaid — as Medicaid does cover long term care, albeit in a typically-less-than desirable home — you'll need to spend down your assets until you reach the poverty line to qualify.
Many long term care insurers, just as with medical insurers, will choose not to cover preexisting conditions. Before you begin developing the difficulties often associated with older age, it's a good idea to buy LTCI as young as possible, ideally around age 50. The NAIC also warns that many LTC insurers use age 60 as an automatic trigger to increase your rates, so be sure to check on those rules, too.
Remember that if you purchase a qualified long term care insurance policy, your premiums will receive tax breaks, and furthermore, the benefit payments are also tax-free.
When you purchase LTCI, the insuring company should send you your policy. Be sure to read this policy carefully and make certain you understand its contents in their entirety. You may also elect to add an inflation protection option to your policy. This option periodically increases your benefits levels without you having first to provide evidence of insurability.
The decision to purchase a long term care policy is one that should not be entered into lightly. This is why working with a reputable agent or advisor who represents quality insurance carriers is so important. But these tips offered by the NAIC should get you started thinking about your LTCI needs and desires — and whether it fits into your retirement plan. Read through all the above tips, give them some good thought, and then take this list with you when you meet with an advisor or agent.

I've loved books ever since I was a small child. As an expression of my love, I always tried to treat them carefully and respectfully, never throwing them around and never – Heaven forbid! – writing in them.
Writing thoughts and comments in the margins enables the reader to have a running conversation with the author, who may – depending on the reading material – just happen to be one of the wisest people in the world. Such a conversation helps the reader maintain focus, learn to watch for minor details on which to ponder and question, and strengthen his mental debate skills without the pressure of an audience.
Beyond keeping a notebook while reading, The Ethics of Success suggests that an individual "write at least one short sentence in his note-book each day, upon some subject uppermost in his thoughts." Doing so not only helps individuals digest their thoughts, but it also poses questions and issues to answer while reading.

Fallet House
La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland
The production of watches very soon a space too narrow for Jeanneret, whose interest turns away to other projects.
Along the architect Rene Chapallaz, who had helped his master L'Eplattenier to build his residence on the top of his hometown, a house rose in 1906-1907 for the engraver Louis Fallet in a field nearby.
Chapallaz registered in 1906, the license for building works describes a compact that illustrates the stereotype of the chalet which was identified with the Swiss national style from several decades ago.
This initial work done and applauded by their fellow citizens will be worth a Chapallaz Jeanneret and the commissioning of two houses on land nearby, one for Albert Stotz, polisher of boxes of watches, and the other for Ulysse Jacquement-Jules, a professor in the school of watchmaking, Both designed in part in Vienna and ending in 1908.
Take up the principles of the first house, in a more solid and rigid, using reinforced concrete floors, painting and a reproducible model. Meanwhile, thanks to the fees charged by the house Fallet, Jeanneret achieves its maiden voyage to Europe.
The added value of the house lies in the use of decoration, which is almost an integral part of the building.
L'Eplattenier familiar to his disciples with the thoughts of John Ruskin about the landscape and encouraged them to play back the layers of 'The Crammed of Ornament', Owen Jones. But above all, incited them to discover the world around them. Thus, Jeanneret draws landscapes of Jura and the local vegetation, and in particular spruce, plasma and its geometric lines at their watches, sometimes with the contrast of the animal figures, as in the case of the box on the bee 1906.
The natural themes that appear in many of his drawings are ubiquitous in the home Fallet. The solid stone corbels of the Jura, which bear the main floor, crystalline formations and seem to evoke the reasons the clock carved in 1906. The wall surfaces, especially those aguilones, are decorated with ornaments that reproduce esgraflados spikes in the grounds of fir and pine nuts and leafy trees in their winter to the bottom of the windows. The blacksmith also uses a triangular geometric ornament that evokes the conifers, a theme that recurs in coatings for wood in the interior. A warm polychromy-based reds, yellows and blues provides an air almost the entire East.
Everything seems to indicate that was the first to a study in this model of solid block covered by a canopy to four waters, nestled in a terrain slope facing south.
Its symmetrical focuses on a double-height lobby which includes the staircase. The large room that opens in the valley closed by a gallery that supports the balcony of the dormitory.
The vertical distribution of the rooms is not particularly innovative with regard to the houses of the Swiss bourgeoisie of the time. The baseboard hosts Room Service, the main level, the reception rooms and the upper level bedrooms.
