"Why You Should Be A Writer"
I'll have more to say about this book as I read the rest of it, but for now I want to share this section which gave me hope and might give some to you as well. I wish I wrote this, but I also found that in typing it I would have said it differently and I like that feeling. It's almost as if I know what I'm doing.
You should buy this book.
Why You Should Be A Writer
by Paulette Perhach
from Welcome To The Writer's Life (14-16)
People who are not writers will happily provide you a million reasons why you should also not be a writer. Here's why, in my humble opinion, you should be a writer.
Because writing is art, and practicing an art enriches your life. You know that feeling after writing, that inner contented sigh, as if you just got out of the hot tub? It's real. Studies have shown that writing expressively puts you in a better mood, lowers your stress, and improves depressive symptoms. Art bedazzles the dark soul and makes life shinier.
You love words. If you love to write, good news: writers get to write all the time. If you love to read, great news: sitting on the couch, reading a book, now counts as work. Being a writer means you get to fill your life with words.
A community of writers awaits. One day you will find yourself in a room full of people who are either writers or enthusiastic readers. The first time I went to a writer's conference, it felt like a home I never knew I had. You won't have to go this road alone, not entirely.
Writing is a valuable skill. OK, so maybe if you've shopped around your sonnets, you realize not all forms of writing have a high dollar value on the market. However, the better you get at creative writing, the more you'll build up the marketable skill called "communications." The business magazine Fast Company even published an article called "Why Good Writing Is Essential For Business." You, the worker, with the succinct emails, typo-free presentations, and engaging content (puke), will be a more valuable asset to companies, if and when you need to be.
Your creative work will get better. If you read a lot and write a lot, the writing you produce will improve. It might take longer than you want it to, but practice does make progress. Sometimes I find old writing and think, Oh no, did I write this? Why did I ever think this was good? Why did I email it to a dozen of my friends? But being embarrassed of my old work just means I'm better now than I was then. The bad work makes the better work possible.
People will thank you for it. This part is weird. When I started out, I thought maybe one day someone would take pity on me and do me the favor of reading my writing. I didn't anticipate the feeling of someone thanking me for doing the thing I love doing anyway. One day, you might realize that everything you learned, all the work you did, and all the words you wrote led to this — someone who feels grateful your work exists, because it gave them something. Soulgasms.
You'll figure the money out. You just will. Thousands of writers before you have. You will write in your free time, while the average American finds five hours a day to watch TV. Maybe one day you'll make money at it, or maybe you won't. You can plan for both scenarios and still be a prolific writer. To start working toward being a writer, you don't have to quit your day job. In fact, please do not. I don't have a spare bedroom.
It's a good life. The most common regret people have at the end of their lives, according to hospice nurse Bronnie Ware, is that they didn't live lives true to themselves and what they wanted but instead lived the lives other people wanted for them. Nobody thinks they'll be that person with those regrets at the end of life, but Ware saw it over and over.
Do what you really want to do, and go for it as a writer. Even before I was making any money or anyone cared that I was writing, my writing life made me happy: those times I thought of a word that made me snort, those readings where I made a crowd inhale in unison, the books that compelled me to read a line out loud to the nearest person, known to me or not. Of course, it has its frustrations, like any lifestyle. I still have problems, but they're writer problems.

My mom and I host bridal showers. It's just this thing we do.
We've hosted a small handful now. While she does most of the work and I do most of the veto-ing, it's still fun. I did get my ruthlessly OCD eye from her.
Our newest installment was a bridal shower themed around citrus. More to come on the full shower in detail, but for now what I'm calling "Citrus Rolls".
This is a spin-off of the Cinnamon Rolls I posted forever ago. Some changes like more butter and instead of the cinnamon and sugar, lemon and sugar. I'm allergic to cinnamon now, so this worked out well in a lot of (selfish) ways.
Frosting was done a bit on the fly, but I've captured it below.
I made 3X for the shower, but not combined (three bowls for each step).
Citrus Rolls:
Based on this recipe.
1 1/4 oz package active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water (100 degrees)
1/2 teaspoon + 1/3 cup sugar, divided
1/2 cup warm milk
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon salt
4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup + 1/4 cup butter, softened and divided
1/2 cup + 1/2 cup sugar, divided
2 lemons, zested
8 oz cream cheese
3-4 cups powdered sugar
1/2-1 lemon, juiced
Mix yeast, warm water and 1/2 teaspoon of sugar in a small bowl. Let the yeast "puff." This takes five minutes, or so — If it doesn't puff the yeast is old or the water was too hot.
Melt butter in sauce pan. Add milk to warm as the butter is finishing the melt. Let sit until mixture is lukewarm.
In a large mixing bowl combine 1/3 cup sugar, salt, egg and warm milk + melted butter mixture. Mix well.
Add the yeast mixture to the mixing bowl. Mix well.
Once both bowls are combined, slowly add in the flour by sections. Mix until a smooth dough forms. The dough should be slightly stiff and very sticky.
Turn dough onto a workspace or kneed in bowl with a dough-hook for 5 minutes. Dough will turn very soft — dough will stick to your fingers.
Place dough in a well buttered bowl and let it rise, covered, in a warm place until doubled — overnight, works well, but four hours will do.
Once the dough is doubled, punch it down and place on a well floured workspace.
Cut dough in half and form two dough-balls and let it rise for five minutes.
Roll each dough-ball into a rectangle — use flour on the work surface.
Spread the dough with 1/4 cup soft butter. Sprinkle dough with sugar. Then, zest one full lemon on top.
Roll up length wise (photos here).
Repeat with the second dough-ball.
Line or grease muffin tin.
Cut the dough into slices and place in the greased paned. Let rolls rise in a warm place until doubled — about an hour
Pre heat oven to 350 degrees. Bake for 12 - 18 minutes until light golden. If they start to brown quickly, cover in foil and continue baking.
Make icing by combining all ingredients in a mixing bowl until creamy.
Spread icing over cooled rolls.

Follow the leader (part 1)
When the Scriptures give us a direction, it's always best that we pay attention. If we observe God talking about the same subject more than once…well…then He's putting down some emphasis that we need to linger on.
Twice in his closing statements and encouragements, the author of Hebrews mentions how the church body should be acting toward our church leaders. The first one reads as follows:
Hebrews 13:7
Remember your leaders who have spoken God's word to you. As you carefully observe the outcome of their lives, imitate their faith.
When looking for a mentor, role model, or Godly example, those who lead in the church should be at the top of our list. However, the author does not give his approval to cast a wide net and grab ahold of any church member in any leadership position. He says to focus on the ones who have spoken God's word to you. Does your preacher teach from the Bible, or does he only teach from pop-psychology to keep the audience engaged? When you ask a question, does your teacher point you toward God's perspective, or she rely on feel-good statements and stories?
The leaders who have spoken God's word to you are the ones worthy of observation and imitation.
Learning to be like Jesus is a lifelong journey. We're not going to figure out whose lives and faith are worth imitating by only checking them out at a surface level. It will be impossible for us to evaluate the outcome of a leader's relationship with God if our only interaction is by watching him online or reading her books. This is why it is best to be involved with our local church. Find a leader there who is worth partnering with and learning from.
Once you've found a good example, how should we follow them? Notice the author says to imitate their faith. Now, let's be clear – he doesn't tell his readers to act out their faith in the same way their leaders have done. They don't also have to be preachers, teachers, worship leaders…instead they should be trusting God as they use the gifts He has given them.
They are to imitate the leader's character and reliance on God – not to try and do the exact same skill in the exact same way their leader operates. This is why the author says to carefully observe the outcome of their lives. When we are able to watch closely, we can see the strength of their faith in God…which drives their ability to lead (instead of us guessing about their relationship from afar). We must also keep in mind there are many ways to exercise our faith and demonstrate our reliance on Him. God does not expect us to be carbon-copies of our pastor, teachers, and other leaders.
So, the first part of following church leadership looks like this:
· Stay local
· Find a leader who points you toward God's Word and God's perspective
· Observe their lives
· Imitate their faith in God as you act out your own
Keep Pressing,

Brought to you by the ArCH Exhibitions
ARCHIZINES celebrates the resurgence of alternative and independent architectural publishing around the world.
The touring exhibition, curated by Elias Redstone and initiated in collaboration with the Architectural Association, features 80 architecture magazines, fanzines and journals from over twenty countries that provide an alternative to the established architectural press.
Edited by architects, artists and students, these publications provide new platforms for commentary, criticism and research into the spaces we inhabit and the practice of architecture. They make an important and often radical addition to architectural discourse and demonstrate a residual love for printed matter in the digital age.
The exhibition features titles from the collection alongside video interviews with their creators. Each publication has selected one issue to represent their approach to publishing and they are all available for visitors to read. An accompanying catalogue, published by Bedford Press, explores the relationship between architecture and publishing further through commissioned essays and texts by editors in Europe and North America. Themes addressed in the catalogue essays include the role of publishing in academia and architectural practice, and the representation of architecture in fictional writing, photography, magazines and fanzine culture.
The ARCHIZINES exhibition was launched at the Architectural Association, London, in November 2011. The project has toured internationally in 2012 to venues in Barcelona, Berlin, New York, Osaka, Tokyo and many other cities. The original ARCHIZINES collection is currently being transferred to the National Art Library at the Victoria & Albert Museum, London.

It's been a little while since I posted here. I totally lost myself in a slow summer and spent as much time as possible with my family. Now, I am feeling all full up on a summer of love and ready to be present in this space again with you all.
Back to school is a big transition for us grown-ups as well as the little people in our lives. I don't know about you, but for me it's a mix of feeling ready to go, and needing to find my feet again, as we all get used to being back in a more structured routine.
Plus there is a big seasonal shift that happens at the beginning of September, as we say a fond farewell to summer and welcome autumn with open arms.
Autumn is such a beautiful season with all its golden colours, and early sunsets. Traditionally a time associated with gathering crops in for the winter ahead, I find it can also be a great time to harvest all the hard work that I have been putting in throughout year.
To help with these back to school changes I wanted to share a couple of breath exercise for anxiety. One is great for grown-ups and the other one is perfect for children to do. In fact it's something that Bailey often does by herself at home and she taught me the exercise, which she learnt from her wonderful yoga teacher.
There are simple instructions below and I am sharing videos of how to do both exercises on IGTV and in my Facebook Group Seeking Slow.
Breath exercise for anxiety and overwhelm
Lay down on the ground flat on your back in Shavasana, legs about the width of your yoga mat, feet fall to the sides, arms by your sides palms facing up.
You want to be able to deeply relax and let go of your body and any tension within it, so make sure you are as comfortable as possible. You can always place a cushion under your head or behind your knees to help support them.
Try to let your body be totally supported by the earth beneath you; You don't need to hold on to anything, you can let the whole weight of your body sink into the ground and deeply relax all your muscles.
Gently bring your focus to your breath, inhaling letting the belly fill full of air and exhaling letting the belly fall back towards the spine.
Inhaling through your nose and then exhaling through your mouth – like you are exhaling through a tiny straw.
As you exhale release the breath and any anxiety / worry down through your body and out through the soles of your feet.
Inhale light and calm and peace.
Continue for 7-11 minutes.
Children's Breath Exercise For Anxiety – Roller Coaster Breath
Sit in a comfortable position with a straight spine.
Take your left hand and hold it in front of your body, fingers spread.
Take your right index finger and place it at the joint of your thumb and wrist on your left hand.
Gently trace the right index finger up to the top of your thumb as you inhale, and down the other side as you exhale.
Continue tracing over all the other fingers like a rollercoaster.
Match the movement with your breath, inhale up, exhale down.
Repeat on the other hand and as many times as necessary.
I will share videos this week of both of these breath exercises for anxiety so if you are unsure about anything do drop me a message on Instagram or in the Facebook group, or alternatively leave a comment here

Investment bank Houlihan Lokey has quickly rebuilt its government services team in the wake of the imminent departure of two of its long time bankers.
Jean Stack and John Song reportedly are in the process of leaving Houlihan Lokey, according to a report by Reuters earlier this month. Both Stack and Song have declined requests for comment. According to Reuters, they are joining investment bank Robert W. Baird.
Their soon-to-be former boss, Anita Antenucci, also declined to comment about their departture.
The pending loss of Stack and Song is no small matter. Stack has been at the Los Angeles-based firm for over 20 years and was a founding member and co-head of Houlihan Lokey's government group. Song has been with the firm for over 10 years.
Stack and Song were deeply involved in some of the firm's bigger deals. Over the past year that has included the sale of InfoZen to ManTech International and the sale of Praxis Engineering to CSRA.
But Antenucci wasted little time after learning that Stack and Song were to depart.
She reached out to a former co-worker in John Allen, co-founder and CEO of Bluestone Capital Partners.
"I called John (on) Dec. 1 and talked to him about considering this as a next step," Antenucci told me.
Allen and Antenucci worked together under Jon Kutler at Quarterdeck Investment Partners, where they were co-presidents. When Quarterdeck was sold to Jefferies, Allen joined Rick Knop and helped form the Windsor Group. Windsor was later sold to BB&T.
In 2010, Allen founded his own firm in Bluestone Capital Partners. Antenucci then left for Houlihan Lokey where she now runs the aerospace, defense and government Group.
It has been 15 years since the pair worked together.
"But this is about more than a reunion," Allen told me. "We are taking experience and adding experience and creating the most experienced group in the market."
With the pace of merger-and-acquisition deals picking up in the market, Houlihan Lokey could ill afford to have a weakened government services group.
With the addition of Allen and his team from Bluestone, Houlihan Lokey's government group now numbers 30. That group is split between the Washington, D.C. area and Los Angeles. There also is an office in London.
Coming over to Houlihan Lokey is all of Bluestone: Allen, co-founder Susan Gabay and partner Greg Van Beuren. The three will be managing directors in Houlihan Lokey's ADG group. Also joining from Bluestone is Vice President Garrett Asta and a group of analysts.
Bluestone essentially will cease to exist, Allen said.
Allen, Gabay and Van Beuren have been involved in more than 150 deals including transactions in the past year such as Enlighten IT Consulting to MacAulay Brown, Belcan's purchase of the Kemtah Group, and the acquisition of Owl Computing Technologies Inc. by QRC Technologies. 2017 saw Bluestone announce nine deals.
The move from a boutique M&A firm to a large, international investment bank was too hard to resist for Allen and his Bluestone team. Especially considering all of the changes in the market.
"The market is much, much more sophisticated now," he said in looking back over his 25-year career.
There used to be just a handful of private equity firms in the market and now there are dozens. Allen estimated 100 different private equity firms have investments in the government market.
The structure of deals and the kind of debt and capital structuring both buyers and sellers want is also much more complicated and dynamic.
"You need that bigger platform," Allen said.
Clients are demanding more from their investment bankers, Antenucci said.
"They want their investment banker to have insights into how to tap capital markets and the public markets," she said.
They also want expertise from outside the traditional government services market such as health care, broad IT services and commercial services, she added.
She said she expects the pace of deals and the complexity to increase. One of the more prominent examples she cited as the increased use of Reverse Morris Trusts, which allow public companies to spin-off divisions as well as make acquisitions of companies with fewer tax implications.
"Because of the cash flow patterns RMTs are perfect fit in the market," she said.
Houlihan Lokey has been involved in several of those deals such as Lockheed Martin's divestiture of its IT business to Leidos.
"Joining Houlihan allows us to offer more depth," Allen said. "I see a long list of things we can add for our clients."

Emery will no longer be on Tooth and Nail Records, as they will venture out with side project Matt and Toby, as well as other artists (TBA) to establish the label, Bad Christian Music. A statement from the band can be found below
Like Charles Barkley said, "I am [We] are not role models." We (Emery) are messed up guys who play music.
As a band, we have always strived for transparency and honesty. While this has made for good music and lyrics, it has also brought forth much controversy. We have purposely steered our music careers away from churches in favor of playing in what Christians call "secular bars and clubs"—what we call "normal places." Yet we have always and will continue to sing about our lives and who we really are. So naturally our lyrics will include Jesus. This pursuit of being real has resulted in a lot of anger from those that see us as squandering our platform of positive influence and from those that simply want us to stop talking about all this "religious bullshit," as they put it.
In short, a common theme and belief of ours is that the pursuit of being a "good Christian" is a flawed goal, as it circumvents and distracts the pursuit of Jesus Christ himself. We liken the pursuit of being a "good Christian" to what the Bible would label as being a good Pharisee. We prefer to label followers of Jesus as Bad Christians who fortunately have a Great Savior. We also believe that Jesus grows, changes, and makes people better. As Jesus pursues change in our hearts, our most effective response is BEING HONEST and transparent with our weaknesses and struggles. Through Bad Christian, this is what we intend to personally do—and encourage others to do the same.
We will continue to be ourselves while we also entertain, love, and serve others through our music. Our plans are to continually branch out from there.
We strongly desire to share the perspectives and experiences that we've acquired while traveling hundreds of days each year for over ten years. In those ten years, there has been an amazing shift in music culture and we've been fortunate to have seen up close and been a part of this shift. One of the many changes from this shift has been an increase in music fans' openness to Christians and Christian artists. And as a result, Jesus. This has occurred because of bands' willingness to actually get involved with the culture at large and authentically build relationships with people who don't believe the same.
We believe this change can certainly extend beyond the music scene to alter spheres of culture around the whole world. Yes, we believe that we can change the world. Our use of the word, "we," means all of our supporters, fans, and readers, not just Matt, Toby, and Joey.

text: From the age of four and throughout her schooling her mom would declare an English day once a week. Paulette van Heerden grew up in an Afrikaans home in Bloemfontein but her mom decided early on to introduce her daughter to a language she believed would give her an entree into the rest of the world. So by the time Paulette started school she was also able to express herself in English. And years later when her job took her to the UK and America she was even more grateful for those "English days" as a child.Consequently, when Paulette and her ex-husband moved to the predominantly English community of Scarborough in Cape Town, she decided to pass the torch to her now fully bilingual daughters, Nina and Claire."When they were babies I'd speak to them in Afrikaans and sing the songs that were near and dear to me," she says. "But I also made an effort to speak and sing in English – like songs from The Wizard of Oz."By the time the girls started school they adapted easily to their English classes and peers. At home, however, Paulette insisted they speak Afrikaans. "I still wanted them to maintain a proper connection to our Afrikaans roots," she explains. But bringing up bilingual children did come with challenges initially. "They'd often mix languages in a sentence, especially when speaking about abstract or technical topics," Paulette explains. "And my Afrikaans family would get quite annoyed!"During the first year or two at school the girls also struggled with English grammar and phonics. Paulette had to explain to teachers that they came from an Afrikaans home."Now I'm amazed at how easily they switch between English and Afrikaans when speaking to different friends."Rudo Chasakara is a direct product of South Africa's richly cosmopolitan culture. She was born to a Tswana-speaking dad and Xhosa-speaking mom in a predominantly Afrikaans community in Kimberley. Although both parents were fluent in Afrikaans and English, for as long as Rudo can remember English was the language most spoken in her home."I think my parents were trying to prepare me for the competitive work environment by speaking the global language," she says. "I also think it bridged a gap for them as they spoke different languages."Although Rudo attended a Tswana preschool, her further studies were in English. "So I never had any formal training in either Tswana or Xhosa," she continues, "but I picked them up from my parents' conversations with each other and friends and up until this day can communicate in those languages."In her matric year the family moved to Johannesburg and by then English had become Rudo's first language. "I know many will see it as an advantage that I speak English," she says. "But sometimes I feel like less of an African woman. I'm sad I speak a European language better than languages from this continent. And I wish that was developed more when I was a child."Clearly there's a balance to be struck when raising bi- or multilingual children. But if you can find that fine balance, experts say there are some real developmental benefits. It's all about how you do it . . .Conversations with kids"Introducing a second language can begin as soon as your child is born," says Gill Naeser, an early childhood development specialist with the Centre for Early Childhood Development of South Africa and former primary school teacher with 15 years' experience."There are two parts to language development. The first process, which starts at birth, is called receptive language – that's when a child hears and begins to understand words. Parents can already begin to speak more than one language to their child at this stage so they become familiar with the sounds and can begin placing words with objects."The second process is expressive language, when they start talking," Naeser continues. "This is when bilingual children can slowly begin to express what they have learned from both languages."Cape Town neurologist Dr Ronald van Toorn agrees that, psychologically, the best developmental time for second-language acquisition is between birth and age six to eight. This is because the brain is most flexible and attuned to absorbing and using information at this time."The period can extend to puberty and won't be impossible after then," says Dr Van Toorn. "But acquiring a second language before and during early school days is best in terms of the development taking place in the brain."It may be developmentally best, but the ideal time for introducing a second language is not set in stone."There is a school of thought which argues that a child should first be anchored in their primary language before a second language is introduced," says Gaontebale Nodoba, a linguistics lecturer at UCT's Professional Communication Unit. Pretoria educational psychologist Dr Don Roos agrees."It's best for a child to spend about three to four years learning only the mother tongue, even if other languages are spoken in the home," he says. "A new language can then be formally introduced but it's best for the child to know one language well to avoid a period of confusion between the two."Dr Roos accepts that parents may swell with pride when their cute little kids can more-or-less speak two languages. But the fact is, if they can't speak both fully, their schooling could suffer later on. "Yes, the child may eventually adapt," he adds. "But this is an initial drawback."Mostly, however, a bilingual child will begin to babble, say her first words and then produce sentences at the same time as her monolingual counterpart. Both can generally say about 50 words at 18 months of age but because bilingual children are exposed to more than one language the 50 words will be split between the languages, putting them at a slight disadvantage. But only initially. In fact, according to Canadian second-language acquisition expert Professor Fred Genesee from McGill University, this short delay has an insignificant effect on bilingual children's overall learning ability in the long run.How to balance bilingualism A child learns a second language in one of two ways, either in an informal environment such as interacting with family and friends or in a formal learning environment such as a classroom, says Professor Elizabeth Pretorius, director of the academic literacy research unit at the department of linguistics at Unisa.She explains that kids who learn a second language informally will be able to use it in everyday conversations – a type of language proficiency called Basic Interpersonal Communicative Skills (BICS)."Children can acquire quite high levels of BICS in a fairly short time span – anything from one to three years," she says. But she still feels that a second language is better learnt in a more formal context. Why? Because children have to learn to read and write as well as doing more demanding tasks such as maths or social studies in the second language. And this leads to so-called Cognitive Academic Language Proficiency (CALP)."Building up CALP in a second language can take five to seven years," says Prof Pretorius, "provided the child attends a good school where quality learning is provided and emphasis is placed on reading and writing in the second language."She also explains that, while many children achieve high levels of basic skills in a second language, this can be misleading. "Basic skills don't necessarily equip them to succeed academically in the second language. So children need to acquire both BICS and CALP in the second language."But does this mean you should send your child to an English school even if English isn't your home language? And what is best – primary education in your child's home language and further education in English?Some parents are forced to face these questions when they themselves speak different languages. Take Carien and Ian White from Humansdorp, for example. Carien was raised Afrikaans while Ian is Scottish and speaks only English. Since the birth of their children each parent has communicated with them in their respective mother tongue. So Sonia and Dean became bilingual before starting school. The kids attended an English school from Grades 0 to 3. But, on moving to Humansdorp, they were both enrolled in Afrikaans classes."While Sonia excelled, David's grades took a dip," says Carien. During a meeting with his teachers Carien was told that her son "thinks in English". The solution: Sonia remained in the Afrikaans class, but David was moved to an English class. Then both children performed well. Carien sees her children's bilingualism as a blessing because they're able to effectively communicate with both sides of the family.If the aim is to introduce a second language without displacing or endangering the mother tongue, this can be achieved by speaking to your child in his or her home language, says Prof Pretorius. "If non-English children attend an English-speaking school, parents should continue to speak their own language to the child in the home environment," she says. "This helps the child stay in touch with their own language and culture. If they help the child with homework tasks this can be done in English since these are more formal academic tasks. But other forms of interaction at home should be in the child's home language."Of course, many parents want to invest in their children's English proficiency because it's such an important global language. But going straight for English from the start of schooling is not the best way to achieve this proficiency, says Prof Pretorius."It puts the child at a great disadvantage cognitively and can be culturally and emotionally traumatic. In such cases children should preferably first attend an English preschool and become acquainted with the second language in this more informal environment, through interaction with their playmates and through nursery rhymes and storybook reading in preschool," she says.After preschool Prof Pretorius has two recommended tacks for parents wanting to build practical bilingual proficiency. Either the child's initial schooling should be done in the home language (at least for the Foundation Phase, i.e. Grades 1 to 3) and then changed over to English later. Alternatively, home-language schooling can be prolonged and the crossover to English made as late as high school.The benefits of bilingualism"Studies show that on every level bilinguals perform better in intelligence tests, logical reasoning and problem-solving activities,"says Cape Town neurologist Dr Ronald van Toorn. In fact, research going back to the 1970s documents the cognitive benefits of being bi- or multilingual.These include: Learning a second language at a young age increases the development of a child's cognitive pathways, making him or her more efficient at acquiring new information. Studies show that this stays with bilinguals until old age, as they're less likely to experience age-related cognitive problems. At high school or tertiary-education level and beyond, bilingual people have more information available to them in print, electronic and other media, whether it's for entertainment, current affairs or academic purposes. Job opportunities in international business and government often require competence in two or more languages. Travel opportunities are also much greater for those who speak extra languages.When to tread carefully…There are times when experts caution parents not to introduce a second language or at least to consult a professional speech therapist if they're considering it. "For example, children who have learning difficulties such as dyslexia may find it hard to read and write in a second language even if they're able to speak it," early childhood development specialist Gill Naeser says. "A deaf child may also find a second language confusing."Tips on teaching your child a second language Here's expert advice on doing it right from early childhood development specialist Gill Naeser and second-language acquisition expert Professor Fred Genesee from McGill University in Canada: Second-language acquisition is most successful when children are equally exposed to both languages. The second language should take up at least 30 per cent of their total language exposure. Children also need continuous exposure to both languages so introduce both languages in conversations daily. Motivating children to use both languages can be a challenge as young children may gravitate towards the language their friends use. To counter this, parents can illustrate the value of the second language by opting for playgroups with children who speak that language or frequently visiting relatives who speak it. The child needs to hear the language spoken correctly. If a parent isn't fully confident in the language, get the help of a professional or family member to help encourage use of the language. It's important to talk about things that are relevant to the child. So use the second language when discussing what the child chooses to wear in the morning, what they're eating and which toys they're playing with. Also ask easy questions to which they can respond and repeat words and sentences often. For example, every morning ask what they want for breakfast in the second language. Teach them about the culture that surrounds their second language. The message children get about the language can create a positive or negative experience about acquiring it.- Kim van Reizig

HONG KONG –– A 32-year-old man was found dead in an Internet café in Taiwan after a marathon three-day gaming binge, the island's second death of an online gamer this year.
The man, surnamed Hsieh, entered the café in Kaohsiung, Taiwan's second largest city, on January 6, Jennifer Wu, a police spokesperson from the Hunei district precint told CNN.
An employee found him motionless and sprawled on a table at 10 a.m. on January 8 and he was rushed to hospital, where he was pronounced dead from cardiac failure, she added.
"He has been unemployed for a long time, and Internet cafés were the only place he could go to," she said.
"His family said he would disappear for two to three days on end."
Police first released details of the case late last week.
It is not known exactly how long the man lay dead in the Internet café but police said his corpse had begun to stiffen so he must have been dead for several hours before they arrived on the scene.
Police said gamers in the café continued as if nothing happened even when the police and paramedics arrived.
"The CCTV footage from the Internet café showed that he had a small struggle before he collapsed motionless," said Wu.
Cold temperatures and over-exhaustion from the long hours spent playing games likely contributed to Hsieh's cardiac arrest, a police statement said.
According to the Taipei Times, the man was a "regular customer" who often played for consecutive days.

There is no other person who is able to capture all my precious memories as Keidi did. From my first pregnancy to my third one and with each baby birthed and growing. She had not only captured these beautiful precious moments but also chartered her own personal growth along with the growth of our family. One will never go wrong having her as a birth photographer, she is never intrusive and her presence was assuring and comforting even during the most intense moments. Keidi's work is, as far as I am concerned, 'the classics of birth photography' and she is the CS Lewis of birth photography and a woman ahead of her time. A deeply passionate individual who truly cares for birthing mothers and their babies. I would consider having a fourth birth just so I can relive those moments again. Her work has been and will always be a blessing to me and my family and it is a testimony to people who are living to pursue their dreams and that dreams do come true. I will always look at the pictures of my children and their births with such gratitude and fondness in my heart. Thank you Keidi.
A good picture captures a moment. We are very fortunate to have Keidi help us eternalize our joy after our twins arrived. It is a very precious keepsake, which we can always look upon to see how far we have come, and how tiny they once were. Keidi's passion radiates whenever she talks about her work. She makes the shoot very comfortable, relaxed and effortless. We are definitely smitten with all the photos she took. Well done Keidi and we wish you the very best.
We had a beautiful set of photos taken by Keidi while I birthed my 3rd baby at home. The shots are simply breathtaking *pun intended*! I relive each moment of the birth through the photos and can only wish I had known her before.Thanks Keidi!
Keidi is awesome! The photos that she took of the birth of our first son are astonishing, we keep going back to look at them and continue to notice more and more each time.During the birth Keidi was very supportive and not intrusive at all. We spent much of the time in dim lit rooms for comfort and feared that this would have a negative impact on the photos! Not a chance!! Keidi was able to weave her magic and we love the results, you would never know!We plan on blowing up and decorating babies room with Keidi's photos, and have already created a slide show to share with our family and friends! Our hearts melt every time.We love Keidi and would highly recommend her work - 5 stars are not enough!
I'm glad I chose Keidi to take the photos during my birth as the pictures she took came out simply gorgeous. Also the fact that she is a trained doula was a bonus. :) Absolutely no regrets and I would get her to be my birth photographer again if the chance arises. :D HIGHLY recommended.
Keidi captured wonderful photographs of my home birth :) worth every penny!
Deciding to have a home birth for our 3rd child and hiring Keidi as our birth photographer were among the best decisions we have made. We absolutely love the photographs and it is such a blessing to be able to relive the precious memories over and over again. We only wish we had known Keidi for our first 2 births.
Thanks Keidi for capturing the most beautiful photos on my birthing day! Love em!
Keidi is fantastic! She helped photograph the birth of our third child and captured the moments perfectly! She was there, yet not there. Very calm and unobtrusive.I love her style of photos. Her play on exposure and colour desaturation is just fantastic! It captures the rawness of the moment with a dreamy edge.
Thank you so much UNISON PHOTO for the gorgeous photos! Keidi Lin is a dream to work with, so relaxed and patient and fun, we just knew that from all the hundreds of photos taken, there would be many, many winners. And there were - for both of our photoshoots, birth and freshborn/family. Although we didn't have a homebirth and the freedom to have photos taken during the birth as per hospital rules, Keidi managed to capture some amazing moments in the delivery room, like my daughter being born in the caul right after I gave birth standing up and lifting her onto me. It was a fun photoshoot, felt more like a party than a birth! And at home four days later, Keidi took her time to get some beautiful newborn, breastfeeding and daddy-newborn bonding photos, and even some with my very energetic toddler so we could really have some lovely family memories. Excellent job!
Keidi's love for births shines through in every image she captures. Her attention to detail, and how she sees emotion is amazing. It's not easy to be there when a mom is in labor, and she makes it look beautiful (as it should be). What a gift she gives these moms as she photographs their newest little additions!
I want to say thank you, thank you, thank you! We had the funnest time doing our bump pictures with Keidi. Not only did she sussed out a fantastic and secluded spot in Hort Park, but also was able to capture every bit of emotions and love that my husband and I have for one another.If in the future I was to have a second baby, I would definitely engage Keidi again for either bump or birth pictures!
Keidi is extremely talented at capturing those intimate and special moments. I have no doubts in highly recommending her!
We had a great time in our family photo shoot after our second boy was born, and we couldn't be happier with the result!
Awesome birth photographer!!!!! Keidi has a gift of capturing the most beautiful moments.
Keidi's speciality in using the lense to capture moments involving birth and babies are remarkable. Looking at the photos of my fraternal twin babies taken by her, I will always be accompanied by feelings of gratitude towards God. The photos of my twins manifest innocence and humility. Her work will always remind us that there is good in mankind.
The most passionate & kind photographer I ever met! Births are so unique, marvelous... mix of intensity, laugh, love & more... This girl catch it all in her art. She is a gem.
Keidi has awesome energy and a big heart!!! Her photos tell a story and are hella poetic.
Keidi's photography skills shone through during my babies' full month celebration. Her eye for immaculate details resulted in shots of professional standards. My wife and I are extremely pleased to have her photograph our twins' milestone and will have no hesitation at all to engage her services in the future."
These are the most touching birth photograph I have ever seen! And they are done by Keidi, I am so proud of you.
Photography comes with innate passion. Her pictures speak a thousand words.
These are not only artistic but meaningful and showed a touch of care and miracle of life and parents' joy and love. Awesome!

Death is generally a scary subject, because none of us can be absolutely certain what death will be like and what will happen afterwards. A side effect is that elderly people and the terminally ill do not always have people to help them deal with the process. However, a new movement is trying to change that, according The New York Times in "The Positive Death Movement Comes to Life."
The movement is not completely cohesive. It is just various people and groups trying to make the subject of death less taboo and to focus on the personal needs of the dying. In some places it has taken the form of "death cafes" where anyone interested can come together and talk about the subject. Other people are working on ways for hospice patients to receive personal attention in the same way a midwife helps those giving birth.
People often avoid getting an estate plan, because it makes then think of death. However, a better approach may well be to focus on your loved ones and easing the loss, when death does occur.

Why a Record Number of University Places Might Not be a Good Thing
This results in a number of angry, aggrieved graduates unable to find the positions they feel their education warrants, as well as not being able to afford the housing and financial stability necessary for family formation. They become like a sort of gender-neutral 'bare branches' of the 21st century.
In the west today there are two sections of society driving political polarisation: a working-class opposed to multiculturalism who are moving from the left to the radical right; and middle-class graduates enraged at being left behind by the super-rich, and attracted to Bernie Sanders, Jeremy Corbyn and others on the radical left. As long as huge numbers attend university courses that provide few material rewards there will be an inexhaustible supply of the latter.

A missile fired by Houthi rebels in Yemen at the Saudi Arabian capital, Riyadh, was shot down by Saudi Arabia's military on December 19. Saudi officials and Colonel Turki al-Maliki, a spokesman for the Saudi-led coalition that is fighting the rebels, said the missile was intercepted by a U.S.-supplied Patriot missile while in flight south of the city. There were no reports of any damage.
The Houthis' Al Masirah TV reported that a Burkan H2 ballistic missile had targeted a "meeting of the leadership of the Saudi regime in al-Yamama Palace in Riyadh." A statement posted on Al Masirah's website said the missile was fired "in response to the heinous crimes committed by the U.S.-Saudi aggression against the people of Yemen."
A December 20 report from the BBC said that Iran has denied backing the rebels militarily and insisted that the missile launches are "independent actions" in response to Saudi-led coalition aggression.
Conservative columnist Patrick Buchanan is open to the possibility that missiles fired by the by Houthi rebels at the Saudis were made legitimately in retaliation for Saudi attacks against their people and country. (More on this below.)
Shortly after the interception of the missile near Riyadh, U.S. ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley said that there is mounting evidence that Iran is supplying arms to the Houthi rebels, in violation of the resolution that put the Iran nuclear deal into international law.
"This is the Secretary-General's fourth report on the Iranian regime's lack of full compliance with Resolution 2231," said Haley, referring to the UN resolution that codified the nuclear deal. "And it is the most damning report yet. This report makes the case that Iran is illegally transferring weapons [to the Houdis]."
Haley continued: "the Secretary-General's report refers to debris from missiles fired by Houthi militants from Yemen into Saudi Arabia in July and November of this year. The inventory at the warehouse in Washington removes any shred of doubt that the missiles are from Iran."
Resolution 2231 states, "Iran is called upon not to undertake any activity related to ballistic missiles designed to be capable of delivering nuclear weapons, including launches using such ballistic missile technology," but according to diplomats the language is not legally binding and cannot be enforced with punitive measures. Also, there is no evidence that the missiles fired at Saudi Arabia in July, November, and December are capable of delivering nuclear weapons.
At the December 19 Security Council meeting, UN Undersecretary-General for Political Affairs Jeffrey Feltman told the Council that "the Secretary-General has again not received any report regarding the supply, sale or transfer to Iran of nuclear-related items undertaken contrary to the provisions of the resolution."
These statements by Haley and UN officials once again point out the drawbacks of the United States relying on UN resolutions, instead of conducting our foreign policy as an independent sovereign state. Furthermore, our involvement in the conflict between the Saudis and the Houthi militants also highlights the downside of U.S. interventionism, as we continue to involve ourselves in overseas disputes that are unrelated to the defense of our own nation.
The December 20 BBC report observed that Saudi Arabia intervened in Yemen's s civil war in March 2015 "partly to counter perceived Iranian influence on the Houthis, which champion the Zaidi Shia minority."
BBC reported that Iran has denied backing the rebels militarily and insisted that the missile launches are "independent actions" in response to Saudi-led coalition aggression.
More than 8,670 people have been killed and 49,960 injured since the coalition intervened in Yemen's war, BBC reported, citing UN figures.
The fighting and the coalition blockade have also left 20.7 million people in need of humanitarian aid, created the world's largest food security emergency, and led to a cholera outbreak that is thought to have killed 2,219 people since April, noted BBC.
In a December 18 column, conservative commentator Patrick Buchanan questioned Haley's comments at a press conference at last week where she presented what she described as recovered pieces of a missile fired by Houthi militants from Yemen into Saudi Arabia in a November attack. The ambassador stated that the fragments bore "Iranian missile fingerprints."
Buchanan wrote:
Though the rocket had Iranian markings, it was not launched from Iran, or by Iranians. Houthi rebels, for two years victims of a savage war waged by the Saudis — using U.S.-made planes, missiles, bombs and drones — say they fired it at the Riyadh airport in retaliation for what the Saudis have done to their people and country.
Buchanan then made a remarkable conclusion:
If so, it was a legitimate act of war.
Buchanan's comments were from a column that suggested that Haley's statements looked like a looked like a "prewar briefing" against Iran. After summarizing many of our interventionist actions in the Middle East that have only served to further destabilize the region, Buchan asked: "As for these Mideast 'conflicts,' which did Iran start?" He continued:
We started the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. NATO started the war in Libya. The U.S. helped trigger the horrific Syrian civil war by arming "rebels." Only when President Bashar Assad looked like he was about to fall did Russia and Iran intervene on his side….
Are we now to fight a new Mideast war against a larger enemy than any of the others we have fought, to clean up the bloody mess we made of the region by our previous military interventions?
We noted in our article last February ("What Is the U.S. Military Doing in Yemen? Is It Worth the Cost?"): "The commando raid by U.S. Navy SEALs in Yemen on January 29 reportedly killed 14 al-Qaeda operatives. But at least 15 civilians including an eight-year-old girl were also killed, as was one Navy SEAL."
We noted in that article that the conflict in Yemen that has prompted U.S. intervention has been years in the making, so it is difficult to provide all of its background concisely, but as we noted in an article in 2015, our intervention in the beleaguered nation has only aggravated the situation. We observed in that article:
Much of this counterproductive intervention came under the leadership of exiled President [Abed Rabbo Mansour] Hadi when he was still in power. An article posted by The New American in 2012 noted that since 2002, 358 people had died in Yemen in U.S. drone strikes. In a statement made to the Washington Post in an interview published September 29, 2012, President Hadi said he "personally approves every U.S. drone strike in his country." The Post noted that it was likely this support of President Obama's drone war that had influenced U.S. officials to consider Hadi "one of the United States' staunchest counterterrorism allies."
We observed that that may explain why Saudi Arabia gave Hadi refuge and is bombing Hadi's opponents in Yemen — with U.S. support.
In September 2015, Hadi returned to the Yemen port city of Aden as Saudi-backed government forces recaptured the city.
In that article, we noted that the Houthi rebels, who are fighting against forces loyal to Hadi, are allied with forces loyal to President Ali Abdullah Saleh, who was president of Yemen from 1990 to 2012. Furthermore, Saleh's loyalists are al-Qaeda's most powerful opponents, but the Saudi-led bombing threatens to weaken them. Therefore, the Saudi bombing of the rebels, which is supported by the United States, has the effect of helping al-Qaeda!
Another bizarre twist to the conflict in Yemen has recently occurred.
Back in May 2015, Saleh openly allied with the Houthis. However earlier this month, he withdrew from the coalition with the Houthis and instead sided with his former enemies — Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and President Hadi. Saleh was quickly accused of treason by the Houthis, and was killed by a Houthi sniper during a firefight in the capital city of Sana'a during a battle for the city on December 4.
There is an important point to be found in an article that former Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) wrote for Townhall.com in 2015, entitled: "The Failed 'Yemen Model.'" Paul concluded his article with this point: "The lesson from Yemen is not to stay the course that has failed so miserably. It is to end a failed foreign policy that is killing civilians, creating radicals, and making us less safe."

Chocolates Reduce Risk of Heart Problems
A study reveals that consuming chocolates on a daily basis in small amounts reduces risk of heart diseases. The results have been derived from tests conducted on eating habits of 20 thousand middle-aged and aged people. Researchers of Scotland's Aberdeen University announced the results after finishing their study. They found that when com,pared to people who do not eat chocolates, those people who consume chocolates are much healthier. While there is 23% risk of heart problems in people who do not eat chocolates, the risk in those who eat is only 11%. However, the researchers ade clear that having more quantities of chocolate is also dangerous.
