Now, that this is the "The Year of the Tunic", Baby Boomer chicks are going to need to know what jewelry to wear with their beloved tunic tops and dresses. We can go a little into jewelry trends, but since we are intelligent Boomers, we know that fashion trends are not as important as flattering styles.
Well, I think I might ignore all the 2013/2014 jewelry trends… the trends that fashion editors rave about in order to keep their jobs. Hey, this is my site, and no one ever pays me to promote their products, so I'm free to say whatever I want… thank God.
It's much more fun to talk to you, as one Boomer to another, about the type of jewelry and fashion that you and I will wear in the real world… in real life. I don't care what some celebrity wears.
And, because you're a Boomer, I'm going to assume that you have a few tunics in your closet because tunics are uber flattering on older women who've gained a few pounds.
Hey, if I'm wrong and you look like Carmen Dell'Orefice, well, lucky you… but, for the rest of us… let's get back to tunics.
Some tunics are meant to be worn as tops, some are meant to be worn as dresses, and some can be worn either way. However, in the United States, a garment that's described as a tunic is usually designed to be worn as a top. Okay, not always… and it's confusing, so let's ignore that part.
Boho: tunic tops that could be described using words such as, silky, slinky, gauzy, paisley, printed, Moroccan, Mexican, Asian, embellished, glittery, flowing, or hippie-style.
Classic: tunic tops that could be described using words such as, simple, elegant, adaptable, tailored, structured, fitted, A-line, functional, normal, plain, or work-appropriate.

Shareholders of Zimbawbe Stock Exchange (ZSE) listed short-term insurer NicozDiamond Insurance Limited (NDIL) have approved a proposal for a scheme of arrangement which will see First Mutual Holdings Limited increasing its stake in the company to 100 percent by buying out minorities.
This comes as FMHL had acquired 80,92 percent shareholding in NDHL late last year, a move that should see the short term insurer de-list from the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange (ZSE) by the 6th of August this year.
NDHL said the scheme, held in terms of an order of the High Court, was approved by a majority of scheme members, representing not less than three quarters (75 percent) of the members.
Following the approval by members, the scheme of arrangement will once again be submitted to the High Court for sanctioning in terms of the Companies Act.
"Scheme participants are deemed to have disposed of their scheme shares to First Mutual Limited in exchange for the scheme consideration," NDHL said.
FMHL had an obligation, in terms of the ZSE's listing rules requirements, to make a mandatory offer to the short-term insurance company's minorities following its acquisition of the 80,92 percent of the issued shares in NDIL.
The ZSE's listing rules require a single shareholder who acquires more than 35 percent of the issued shares of a listed entity to make a mandatory offer to minorities.
Post the scheme FMHL will subsequently own the entire issued share capital of NDHL.
Once Zimbabwe's biggest and only listed short-term insurer becomes 100 percent owned by FMHL, it would be merged with Tristar Insurance, already a unit of FML.
FMHL proposed to acquire the remaining stake in NicozDiamond through the offer to buy out minorities through a scheme of arrangement, put to the vote of members.
In an announcement published on December 6, 2017, and March 22, 2018, FMHL advised the market that it had acquired 80,92 percent shareholding in NDIL.
"To this end and as aforementioned, FMHL proposed to implement the offer by way of a scheme," said NicozDiamond in an earlier circular to its shareholders.
According to the circular to members, if the scheme is implemented, members will receive either 10 FMHL ordinary shares for every 43 NDIL ordinary shares held or a cash consideration of 3,41 cents per each NDIL ordinary share already held, and NDIL will become a wholly owned subsidiary of FMHL.
If implemented, the benefits will be that the arrangement will give the new FMHL ordinary shares an opportunity to remain with tradable securities in an enlarged and diversified group.
For FMHL, this will allow the insurance giant to merge NDIL with Tristar Insurance bringing benefits such as enlarged clientele base and increased new business underwriting capacity.
Further, the merger of Tristar and NDIL will see the new business consolidating its position on the local market and entrenching market leadership position through efficient processing of claims, excellent customer service, customer convenience and offering market responsive solutions.
"If realised, these benefits will accrue to both current FMHL shareholders and the Scheme Shareholders who will elect to receive shares in FMHL," NDIL said in a circular.


Dear Juergen / Benno / Tada, Greetings of the Day!
I have just returned to India earlier this morning after my short visit to Thailand wherein I had the opportunity of enrolling for the OW course with Dive Asia.
The feeling of having successfully completed the course is unparalleled and full credit to your team for making that happen.
On this occasion, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all your support and guidance during my short stint with your elite team.
Juergen – Thank you for all your detailed assistance during the planning stages of the course, when I had put in numerous questions that at times may have sounded very basic!! Your guidance was unconditional! Many thanks!
Benno – Thank you for assisting in the last minute logistics when we decided to extend the stay. Your planning was precision timed and at no moment did we feel left out!
Last, but not the least……..
Tada – We couldn't have asked for a better instructor and Divemaster! You taught us the basics in a way that it is now firmly implanted in our DNAs!! We can never forget the patient hearing that you gave us every time that we asked you questions either in the pool or in the classroom. Thanks so much for your guidance! You made us love the ocean!!!
Also, a big thank you for the entire team at Dive Asia, who work tirelessly day in and day out, to ensure everything goes with clockwork precision.
One thing is for sure, I will be coming back to Phuket next year…..and at every available opportunity……. to do more courses with Dive Asia…THAT'S CERTAIN!!!!!!!
Please convey my BIG THANK YOU to your entire team, and I hope to see you soon.
Please do feel free to let me know if I can be of any assistance from India.
In the middle of our December IDC and many days of hard study, plenty of presentations, skill practice in Pool and Open Water it was time to have a little fun; just a little…..
In a few days from now our Instructor Candidates will do there Instructor Examination and they have to show competence in diving theory, PADI course standards, knowledge development presentations, confined-water (pool) teaching, open-water teaching, and general diving skills and professionalism.
today Dive Asia donated plenty of Toys and Bedclothes to the House of Abused Women & Children.
RAWAI, PHUKET: In the latest bid to create an artificial reef in Phuket waters, an old dive boat was sunk off Koh Racha Yai on Saturday morning. The aging vessel Harruby was donated to the Department of Marine Coastal Resources (DMCR) for the project by The Racha Resort. Following a religious ceremony and speeches by a number of officials, the sinking of the 18-meter vessel began at around 1am. The dive boat sank in about 25 meters of water off Ao Teu, a bay at Koh Racha Yai. It took DMCR staff and volunteer divers about an hour to fully flood and sink the metal-hulled vessel. After that it took Harruby about 30 minutes to finally descend to its new home on the sea floor.
Mr. Paitoon Panchaiyaphum, Director of the Phuket-based southern regional office of the Department of Marine Coastal Resources, said the project is intended to attract tourists and take pressure off natural dive sites.
The steel structure is expected to be rapidly colonized by young coral, he said. Mr Paitoon said the amount of steel in the vessel put its value at about three million baht in the scrap metal market. Koh Racha Yai is the single most popular site for dive instruction training in Phuket waters, he said.
The Department of Marine Coastal Resources expects to sink another vessel soon to keep up with the demand, he said. Two boats sunk in the area last year are already popular among dive tour companies, he added.
Natural coral finds it difficult to grow nowadays. The cause could be related to global warming, Mr Paitoon told the media.
