I'm often asked my opinion about what vegetable is the healthiest. I also hear the "best-Mommy" contest that happens on the playground where each parent tries to one-up each other bragging about what weird & healthy veggie their child loves. It goes something like this:
"My Johnny loves carrots."
"MY Suzie loves broccoli."
"WELL, MY Nicolas loves kale."
"Guess what. MY Olivia loves Brussels sprouts. Eats them like candy. Can't get enough of them."
You get the picture.
I understand why people ask me about veggies. And why parents feel pressured. The amazing powers of specific vegetables often are the subjects of headlines. It makes a great sound-bite. It's a great way to sell newspapers & magazines.
But as is often the case, that which makes a great sound-bite isn't always what's true. Because it's been pulled out of context, the sound-bite ends up being only partly-true.
Science's understanding of exactly what it is in veggies that's so good for us is crude. We're constantly learning of new healthy nutrients. For example, when I was studying human nutrition as an undergraduate in the late 1990's, I was taught that white veggies didn't have any healthful substances. They may provide flavor and crunch, but they were nutritional zeros. However, we now know that onions, garlic, and their other cousins such as leeks, have healthful nutrients like antioxidants.
While science is constantly discovering new nutrients, what's found again and again (and again) is that the people who eat the most veggies are the healthiest. Period.
I also like to balance current science with the tried-and-true. And, when I look at traditional diets around the world, I see that human beings have survived and thrived eating all sorts of plant foods.
Let me be clear. I'm not denying that dark green veggies (like kale) and brightly-coloured veggies (like carrots and purple cabbage) are really healthy. They're fantastic choices! What I'm saying is to not consider veggies such as cucumber and celery as empty junk. While they're today's zeros, who knows if they will be tomorrow's super-stars. And, they're healthier than most processed foods which kids typically eat if they're not eating veggies.
So don't stress if your picky eater doesn't like today's super-star veggies.
When it comes to veggies, it's about quantity. And, variety.
Instead of relying on the magic of any one vegetable (and trying to force your picky eater to eat it), enjoy a wide variety of veggies. Introduce your little one to many different veggies (and repeat those introductions, and repeat, and repeat…). Be a veggie variety role model yourself. Encourage your little one to enjoy the wide, wide world of veggies in all colours of the rainbow. Together explore all the different tastes and textures.
And celebrate when your little one eats ANY veggies - whether it's kale chips or that French Breakfast radish that the Farmer convinced him to try at Saturday's Farmers Market, or…
So, what's my answer when I'm asked what's the healthiest vegetable? Answer: The one that you'll eat (because it doesn't matter how healthy any veggie is – if you won't eat it – it can't do you any good).

Love the flavour of pumpkin spice and pumpkin pie? But looking for a healthy way to enjoy it? Look no further. This mousse is seriously delicious.
I admit that I'm lazy so I make it without the crust. And it's still fantastic! I find that the pumpkin mousse tastes best when refrigerated overnight.
This recipe is a great way to include some more veggies (for picky kids and us adults who can use to eat more veggies too). Pumpkin rocks the vitamin A and has good fibre too.
Baby Food Version: Make this recipe without the crust and omit the maple syrup.
1 cup of full fat coconut milk (put in fridge overnight)
1 can of pumpkin puree
1/4 cup of black chia seeds
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
"Bottom crust"

It's the second week of September. You made it through all the back-to-school craziness. You bought new clothes, school supplies, even figured out the family schedule for pick-up and drop-off. You likely browsed Pinterest, Instagram and Google for healthy, fun packed lunch ideas and dutifully engaged your inner food stylist so that your child had lunches that they loved.
Many clients have told me the stories of being in the dreaded line-up of parents doing school pick-up. Giving their child a quick hug and then opening the lunchbox to see what was eaten. Or, to be more accurate, to see what wasn't eaten. This lunchbox check isn't just a simple status update on what food your child digested that day. It's a measure of your parenting skills, done in-front of a firing squad of your judgmental peers.
Or, at least that's how it feels.
The purpose of my message today isn't to jump on the judgment bandwagon. Quite the opposite in fact. I'm here today to let you know that whether or not your child ate their lunch isn't a measure of your parenting skills. It isn't about you at all. So drop the mommy-guilt and daddy-guilt. Let's re-focus on your child. Because, this situation is actually about your child.
The ability to eat lunch in the highly distracting school environment is a life skill. And like any life skill, some kids pick it up easily and some find it more challenging. How quickly kids pick up on this new skill isn't a measure of how "good" or "bad" a kid they are. And, it isn't a measure of how "good" or "bad" a parent you are. I've helped thousands of families over my career. In my experience the kids who find eating lunch at school more challenging tend to be:
In time, your child will pick up the important life skill of successfully eating a meal in a distracting environment. Here are some actions that you can take to support your child in learning this life skill. And, actions you can take to make sure that they are meeting their nutrition needs throughout the day.

Each year, UBC dietetics students have a class project where they practice writing nutrition articles for the public. This year, I asked students Mei Ho and May Hasegawa to research are food dyes safe for kids. Here's what they found ~ Kristen
When you are shopping for snacks for your child, do the bright colours make you think twice about about adding it to your basket? Many foods we come across in our everyday lives have colour added in order to make it appear more appetizing. It is very common to see vivid colours in foods and beverages marketed towards children, such as candies, desserts and chewing gums. Foods can be coloured by natural food dyes like caramel colouring, or artificial food dyes, which are colours made from petroleum1. Today we will be looking at food dyes in the context of artificial food dyes, which have been used more commonly in foods in recent years.
As early as the 80's, researchers began to study the effects of artificial food dyes on children's health. The results of their studies have been controversial, and has stirred concern amongst consumers. Some have suggested a possible link between artificial food dyes and hypersensitivity in children3. Others have researched possible risks of organ damage, cancer, birth defects and allergic reactions1. While no study findings have been conclusive, countries in Europe such as the U.K. have banned artificial food dyes altogether for safety measures1.
Regulations in North America state that there is not enough scientific evidence to say artificial food dyes cause negative effects on children's health3. Canada permits the use of food dyes in everyday foods from bread, butter, milk to cheese. All food dyes must first be approved by our federal regulatory body, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA). At this time, Canada has approved ten dye colours for use in food and beverages.
However, it has not been ruled out that food dyes may affect children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and behavioural problems differently3. Researchers agree that more research on artificial food dyes is required.
In 2009, the U.K. imposed strict regulations to remove certain food dyes from foods and beverages. This prompts us to think, why hasn't North America followed along? It is interesting to note the different approaches used by North America and the U.K. when it comes to ensuring public safety through foods.4
With all this information, it can be confusing to decide whether you want your children to be consuming artificial food dyes. It may first be helpful to understand how to identify whether something contains artificial food dyes. By law, companies are required to list the name of the dye on the ingredient label. It may be tricky for shoppers to recognize the commercial names of artificial food dyes. Here are the names of 10 common artificial food dyes in Canada:5
There are also ways to add colour into your cooking at home without using food dyes! Kids are drawn to bright colours, and baking at home can be more fun if your child has the chance to make their own colours. This can be done by boiling, blending, and/or pureeing vegetables or fruits for their natural colours.6
Ideas include:
While there is not enough evidence to conclude that artificial food dyes are harmful to our body, I feel that more research is needed to fully understand their effects on our health. I like to refrain from using artificial food colouring in my own baking, and opt for more natural options like using juice from fruits or vegetables.
As the research is inconclusive, it is ultimately up to the consumers to make an informed decision. New food labelling requirements in Canada will now include the commercial names of synthetic food dyes in the ingredient list, but it is questionable whether or not consumers will recognize these names or be able to associate them with food dyes.
Call me conservative, but I am suspicious of foods that are highly processed. My motto is "foods closest to the way nature made them are the healthiest choice". Artificial food dyes are about as far from nature-made as you can get. So, I would recommend steering clear of artificial food dyes for day-to-day eating. But I'm also practical. Our bodies are amazingly adaptive. Eating foods with artificial dyes once in a while is likely not going to cause harm. So if your child is invited to a birthday party where they serve cake with bright green icing, let your child enjoy the cake right along with the other kiddos.
If your child has behaviour concerns, such as ADD/ ADHD, I think it's worth doing a food trial where you eliminate all food dyes and see how your child's behaviour responds. There may be no effect. Or, your child may be a member of the sub-set of kids who have a link between behaviour and food dyes.

Banana lentil muffins. Yes, you read that right - banana LENTIL muffins. Lentils can be used in baking.
Including lentils in baking is a fantastic way to reduce the amount of refined flour we eat and get more iron, fibre, and protein. Take note parents of picky eater kiddos who don't like most protein or iron-rich foods. Tip: Serve the muffins with a source of vitamin C (such as berries) to maximize absorption of that iron.
We made this recipe for mini muffins, so that they're a good size for little hands (and tummies). Us big kids can choose to eat 2 - 3 of them in the place of a regular-size muffin. Or bake yours in a regular-size muffin tray and adjust the baking time. We didn't test the baking time for regular-size muffins so I don't have a time to give you (sorry). Keep a close eye on them and use the ever-trusty toothpick-in-the-centre test.

All I can say is chocolate chia pudding ... yum!
Healthy eating is all about eating good fuel for your body AND eating for pleasure. This delicious treat fits both categories. It's chocolatey goodness that's made with chia seeds. Chia seeds are rich in protein, iron and fibre. The result is a gelatinous or pudding-like consistency similar to tapioca pudding. It's also quite low in sugar.
Feel free to play with the recipe. The richest version is made with the canned coconut milk (coconut and chocolate - awesome!). I love orange chocolate and mint chocolate so sometimes I add a drop or two of mint extract or orange blossom water.
3 TBSP chia seeds
1 cup milk (dairy, plant-based alternative, canned coconut milk is especially delicious)
1 TBSP cocoa powder
1.5 tsp sugar

A recent study reinforced something that as a child nutrition dietitian, I've known through working with thousands of families over the years in Vancouver, Victoria, and beyond. The study found that giving kids frequent snacks is associated with lower iron levels. In other words, it increases the risk for kids' iron deficiency.
Why are we concerned about kids' iron levels? Because iron is necessary for having good energy, overall growth, but perhaps most importantly, it's necessary for little ones' growing brains. Without adequate iron, kids won't live up to their full cognitive capacity.
It's very, very common for parents to give kids frequent snacks. Families record a food diary when I work with them. In reviewing their food diaries, more often than not, we realize that they're feeding their kids just about every hour. No wonder the far is full of crumbs and you have food stashed in every purse and jacket pocket!
So how does this habit contribute to kids' lower iron levels? In two ways:
Now this doesn't mean that kids only need to eat 3 meals a day. They have big energy needs (to keep those busy bodies moving and growing), small tummies, and short attention spans. So it's unlikely that kids will meet their nutrition needs by eating just 3 meals a day. I recommend that kids be offered opportunities to eat 5-6 times a day. There is no one pattern that families have to follow. But a common pattern that achieves this is:
To avoid constant snacking, look ahead at your family's schedule. Plan for when you'll offer these 5 – 6 opportunities to eat. Plan for the opportunities to eat to be at least 1 hour apart from each other so that your child has a chance to digest what they've just eaten and build an appetite again. Aim to have your meals and snacks at about the same times each day.

Maybe you've heard the statistic. It takes kids between 10 – 30 times of trying a new food before they like it. But did you also know that a study found that parents typically gave up offering a food after 5 times? Yes, they didn't even make the minimum 10 times and certainly were nowhere near the 30 times.
I use the term "challenging food" to refer to a food that your child has either:
A mistake that I see parents make all the time is to only offer challenging foods at dinner. Offering challenging foods only at dinner is a mistake for several reasons. First, is the purely practical reason that if you're working your way up to 10 – 30 presentations of a food and you're only serving challenging foods at dinner, it's going to take years before you reach those 30 times. No wonder parents in the research study gave up after 5 times. It seems like you've been trying to get your child to eat that food forever.
The second reason is that this contributes to kids' bad behaviour at dinner. Kids are smart. They figure out pretty quickly that they can get their favourite foods at breakfast, lunch, and snacks. But, that they'll be presented with scary stuff at dinner. So, they try every trick in their books to get out of eating at dinner. They misbehave. They announce that they aren't hungry (and then whine about being hungry 20 minutes later). They complain that they're too tired to eat. In other words, anything that they can brainstorm that will push your buttons and get them out of facing the challenging foods on their plate.
So, what's the alternative? Use any meal or snack as an opportunity to present a challenging food. Breakfast, lunch, morning snack, afternoon snack, and bedtime snack are all fantastic opportunities to present a challenging food. Mix it up from day-to-day. One day at afternoon snack, serve some of the challenging food leftovers from dinner the night before. The next day, serve a new fruit at breakfast. One day, pack in your child's lunch a couple of pieces of the raw veggies that you're packing for your own lunch.
A couple of key tips to making this strategy work:

I've been doing workshops for parents on picky eating for 8 years now. At every single picky eater seminar there is one strategy that always causes resistance with the parents in the audience. I continue to share it because it's a very powerful strategy for minimizing picky eating. Yet I can almost hear the thud it makes when I describe it and it lands on the floor. The problem for which it's a solution? How to get kids (particularly toddlers and preschoolers) to stay at the table for meals. It's the solution for meals that go on and on forever because your child sits down, takes one bite, then pops up from the table to do something terribly important, then returns to the table, takes another bite, pops up from the table (and so on and so on).
So, what's this successful, but unpopular strategy? Create a rule that all meals and snacks are eaten when sitting down. In other words: Stop. Eat. Then Continue On. Yes, I do mean snacks too. You may wonder why I continue to share this strategy knowing that it'll be so unpopular. I share it because it really is successful for supporting kids to do a good job of eating. If we allow the common practice of letting kids eat snacks "on the run", i.e. while in the car, in the stroller, you chasing them around the house spooning bite after bite into their mouths, we're teaching kids that there is an alternative to sitting still at a table to eat. As seen through a toddler's or preschooler's eyes:
"Why is it that sometimes can I eat while playing. But other times I'm told that I have to stop playing and sit at a table to eat (which is bo-ring)."
Create the expectation that all meals and snacks are eaten sitting down. In families who set this expectation, kids come to the table when called. They eat. Then, they continue on with their day (i.e. go back to playing). Meals and snack go much more smoothly and are less stressful because the kids aren't constantly getting up from the table.
I understand the initial resistance that you may have to this strategy. In our super busy lives, how are we supposed to carve out time to stop and eat snacks? And it seems like I'm saying that you can never leave the house again, because you always need to be home to give snacks. Not true. Let me clarify.
Does this mean that you never get to leave the house again? No. In the summer this is especially easy. Stop at the park bench, picnic table, or spread out a blanket and enjoy a snack. Use similar ingenuity at indoor locations. For example, you can stop at the bench in the recreation centre foyer or use a table at the food court at the mall.
The important point is to stop. Don't feed your child in the stroller, car seat, etc. And, don't hand out a snack while your child continues playing. I know that it's tempting to do so in our busy lives. But, it sets you up for more battles at meals and snacks. What seems like an efficient use of time in the immediate, actually costs you more time in the long run. In families who establish the stop-to-eat expectation, meals and snacks are very quick. And, they are much more pleasant. When it's meal and snack time the kids simply get down to the business of eating.
Simply put: Stop. Eat. Then, continue on.

First, I want to let you know that I am not a baker. Second, I love sweets. So, you know that if I'm sharing a dessert recipe it's going to be delicious and super easy. The two recipes that I'm sharing today certainly fit this bill. With very few ingredients and steps, they really couldn't get any easier. They also are healthy choices. And, they're green – perfect ideas for celebrating St. Patrick's Day next week. If you're looking for more green ideas, check out the two green smoothies that I shared for last year's St. Patty's Day. I was inspired by a local Matcha café that I've been visiting lately. I saw that they had "cooking grade" matcha and decided to give it a try. I added it to two (simple) dessert ideas that I enjoy all the time. And they were really successful. Voila - matcha desserts. Enjoy! P.S. You can find matcha powder in many specialty tea shops or grocery stores with good Japanese food sections.
You've got to love a recipe with only 2 ingredients! Prepare 1 banana per person. The ½ teaspoon gives a definite matcha taste to the ice cream. If you have a picky eater, you may want to decrease it to 1/4 teaspoon so there's basically no matcha taste, just some green colour.
Serves 4
Feel free to reduce the sugar to zero in this recipe. I enjoyed the balance at 1 teaspoon. Choose a regular fat (i.e. not low-fat), canned coconut milk to get the creamy texture and rounded flavour.

It's official - 2016 is the year of the pulse! Pulses, such as chickpeas, are high in vegan-source protein, high in fibre, low-glyemic carbs, and contain lot of other nutrients. Did you know that we grow lots of them in Canada? Roasted chickpeas are a delicious way to eat more pulses. My friend Margie Barnard, a fantastic cook (we're talking Four Seasons Hotel), and I developed these recipes. We each had our favourites, so I'm sharing all four. The steps are the same for all of them.
Whole chickpeas are a choking hazard for little ones, so this is a good snack idea for kids 3 years and up (and us kids at heart).
15oz can chickpeas
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
2 Tbsp olive oil
15oz can chickpeas
1 tsp garam masala
1/4 tsp salt
2 Tbsp olive oil
15oz can chickpeas
2 Tbsp honey
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
15oz can chickpeas
2 Tbsp honey
1 tsp canola oil

Sometimes the classics are a classic for a reason. Bananas and peanut butter simply taste great together. Here's a fun way to bring this classic duo together in a healthy kids snack. I'm choosing to share it today because it's easy for young hands to manage. Perfect if you're gearing up to pack snacks or a lunch for little ones with back-to-school next week. This works well with peanut butter, other nut butters (e.g. almond butter) and the non-nut butters if your child attends a nut-free facility.
Hey, it's also a delicious idea for those of us who are young at heart :)

The fact-based film's one sheet shows a gilded Dominic Cooper (the film's Devil AND his double) atop a golden throne wielding dual AK-47s, but as his character Latif Yahia finds out the hard way, all that glitters isn't gold. Summoned from the Iraqi frontline in 1987 to Saddam's pleasure palace, Latif finds himself dealt the most awful of Hobson's choices - become the dictator's son Uday's body double or his family will be killed.
Fate has dealt this "fiday" a nasty hand; Latif is the spitting image of Uday Saddam Hussein al-Tikriti, Saddam Hussein's eldest son, known by the fearful people of Iraq as the Black Prince, and Uday wants him to act as his public doppelganger/plaything. Infamous for his legendarily short temper, psychotic tendencies, and profligacy for underage girls, Uday is a nasty piece of work who is rightfully afraid of making too many public appearances, so he calls upon his former childhood friend to stand in for him when the situation arises.
What sounds like an outrageous premise for a film is even more incredible as it's based on a true story. Latif Yahia's autobiographical novel The Devil's Double became a bestseller following the 2003 invasion of Iraq which ended – spoiler alert – with the capture of Saddam Hussein and the death of his sons Uday and Qusay in a firefight with a Special Forces Task Force in Mosul.
The story is set during the events that led up to the first Gulf War in a Baghdad unrecognizable to those familiar with the dusty war-torn images regularly seen on the news now. This is a decadent city, with pumping nightclubs, flashy sports cars, and mountains of cocaine - well, it is if you're the son of the reigning dictator anyway. Uday is part-pantomime villain, part-demented mummy's boy, all-psychopath, and everyone knows it, even his closest advisers.
Dealt this cruel hand in life, Latif finds out about his master's brutality the hard way, so following some minor cosmetic tweaks, he begins shadowing his evil twin as Uday goes about his twisted ways raping, pillaging and generally being an evil bastard. With Ray-Bans glued to his face and a Cuban cigar permanently clenched between his teeth, Uday initially seems like a threatening fool with a nasty streak, but this notion is quickly cast aside as the crown prince's violence rapidly escalates, culminating in a shocking wedding scene that lingers long in the mind.
British actor Dominic Cooper, most recently seen as Iron Man's pa Howard Stark in Captain America: The First Avenger, is in nearly every frame of the film, sometimes twice as both Latif and Uday, and it's testament to his skills that you soon forget both characters are played by the same man. Latif is stoic and sincere; Uday psychotic and sadistic - all teeth and temper.
Latif is inevitably drawn into his double's web of insanity, falling for Uday's 'chosen' girlfriend Sarrab (Mesrine's Ludivine Sagnier), whilst having the perks of being the faux son of a dictator - palaces, supercars, and silk dressing gowns - without the freedom. Latif is Uday's puppet, as his master frequently reminds him, both verbally and physically.
In other hands, The Devil's Double could have been a markedly different kind of movie. It doesn't take much to imagine what someone like Paul Greengrass could have done with the script. Greengrass has pedigree in the field and his Iraqi-set thriller Green Zone skillfully weaved fact and fiction within a similar theatre of war. The Brit director's capable eye could have added an extra sheen of authenticity that the sensitive subject matter probably deserves.
But instead Tamahori (who gave us invisible cars in Die Another Day) opts for a much more popcorn-friendly approach, which often threatens to neuter the moral message at the heart of the tale. Saddam's palaces are bathed in an idyllic golden light, Uday's playboy lifestyle is shown in an almost comical Scarface-style, and Saddam himself is presented as more of an avuncular mobster than a bloodthirsty tyrant.
This sensational approach to such a serious subject matter jars frequently, so whilst the message is ultimately delivered effectively, you can't help feeling that a much better movie could have been made from the incredible source material. Kudos then to Dominic Cooper who nails both of his characters so effectively that any misgivings about the awkward mix of tone are swept away.
After a slow start, the middle section of the film is both thrilling and gut-churning as the sheer scale of Latif's plight is laid bare, but the final third sags as the film switches from hand-wringing morality play into sub-par Bourne-esque revenge thriller territory.
So while The Devil's Double may not be the most earnest movie you'll see about the hell into which Saddam Hussein plunged his country, it's certainly a fresh perspective on one of the Middle East's most brutal dictators and the reign of terror brought about by his demon seed.

Click here to access our August newsletter!
Welcome to Rotary District 6580!
District Governor Santhana Naidu
"August is Membership and New Club Development Month"
I've had the pleasure of kicking off this promising Rotary year by visiting several clubs in Southern Indiana, in which every club is making a special impact in their communities. Our goals this year are to Grow Rotary and make Rotary family-friendly.
Growing Rotary: We need to capitalize on the strong Rotary brand prevalent in our local communities to grow Rotary. I challenge every club to appoint a membership chair and committee this month, and develop a multi-year membership development plan before the end of 2019. Membership does not just mean bringing new members. We must find ways to engage current and incoming members to build a stronger retention. I believe a stronger and engaged membership will naturally lead to increased giving. Please let me know how our membership or foundation committees can be of assistance to your club.
Making Rotary family-friendly: I believe our Rotary experience should be personally and professionally relevant and fulfilling. This is why I believe so strongly in building a more family-friendly Rotary -- one that welcomes children to our activities and that is considerate of families in our scheduling. I am requesting all the clubs to at least have one family-friendly event during Rotary year and have offered the District Governor visit to be such an event. I am very pleased to see so many clubs open up to this idea. The three Bloomington clubs co-hosted a family-friendly fellowship event for the DG visit. It was a terrific event and you can find pictures on our District Facebook page. Vincennes hosted a great family-friendly event combined with a service project dedication, and it attracted local business and public officials. I am looking forward to attending several other family-friendly events in the upcoming weeks!
Thank you for choosing to be a part of Rotary and making a difference locally and globally!
Sincerely, Santhana, DG

No Noise for Gender Violence
Anindita Sengupta blogging at Ultra Violet wonders whether violence against women has gotten so acceptable that it "ceases to even horrify" anymore.
editors and senior journalists of prominent newspapers obviously do not think this is an issue worth discussing. So there is no series of columns giving insights into the various aspects and implications. No "Lead India"-like campaign in ToI. No railing editorials from aging and mostly senile columnists. (Shashi Tharoor, when you're done with lamenting the fact that we Indian women are not wearing the sari any more, you think you could turn your attention to this?)
I get the disturbing sense that violence against women is so accepted within the framework of our society, something that we have become so used to, that it ceases to even horrify anymore.
Meanwhile, can you name 16 forms of violence against women? Are you sure you don't know anyone facing one of these? Are you sure you're not facing one of these yourself? [link]
Come to think of it, We didn't really hear anything about it in Sri Lanka either. The full piece makes for an interesting read. The forum theatre on thursday will have some linkages with the theme.

We Have Testimonials From People Just Like You…
And From Some Of The Most Respected People
In The Language Learning Community
More than anything else, I am truly impressed by the degree to which Moses most clearly and truly actively thinking in the languages as he speaks them at the relative length of three or four minutes at a time.
He has put forth a tremendous amount of time and energy in pursuit of our common passion, and as a result he has not only already attained admirable results, but he holds the promise of being a core teaching polyglot for years to come.
Professor Alexander Arguelles
Foreign Language Expertise
I am pleased to endorse Moses McCormick's website, and I do so for three reasons. First of all Moses is an accomplished polyglot. His ability to learn languages, many languages, difficult languages, unrelated languages, is remarkable.
I speak a few languages myself and can vouch for the comfort level that Moses has achieved in these languages. Secondly, Moses has developed an approach to language learning that not only works for him, which is obvious, but also works for others.
Steve Kaufman
Quickly have conversations with native speakers »
I Strongly Recommend Moses…
Moses has a passion for helping students increase their competence to understand and use foreign languages. This is different from what many tutors offer. Moses' goal is to make his tutees self-sufficient instead of being completely dependent on a tutor for learning of every new concept. I strongly recommend Moses as tutor of foreign languages.
Todd Suddeth, PhD, https://www.linkedin.com/in/toddsuddeth
I have been observing Moses McCormick's linguistic achievements for some time now. While he would appear to disclaim possessing any special gifts for languages, it is clear that he has a knack for language learning in general. The hyper-polyglot Steve Kaufman has recognized this, as I do myself.
It is very hard to define what "knowing" a language actually is. Even basic communication skills may be far more important than an ability to read the classics.
In my view, even being able to project one's personality through a language, however limited one's vocabulary, is highly useful. I see Moses doing this though languages as different–and exotic–as Zulu and Estonian. Through all his languages he is making a statement: linguistic wealth is mind-expanding and energizing, and worthy of everyone's attention.

A reader emails:
Today I opened my desk drawer and saw over 50 pens I probably will never use again...(and this is only at my office desk, not including home)... Where do unlucky pens go to die? I can't seem to get rid of them because the day I try to throw it away or give it to the school supplies drive, I find a newfound respect for it but then it goes back into the black hole of pens that haven't made the cut.
Have you written any posts about this?
I have never written a post about this, but I think I did mention something in a long lost comments thread on what I do with pens I don't like or never plan on using again. In a nutshell, I play Pen Fairy at the office.
I work with and around a bunch of computer geeks. Heck, I'm one of them myself. Except I'm the one in the pink gingham button-down as opposed to a black or grey t-shirt. Not there is anything wrong with that, but it's just not my style. So you can imagine their choice in writing instruments: generic office supply cabinet rollerball, Marriott Courtyard Bic Stic, chewed up eraserless #2 pencil, capless dried-up Sharpie, etc.
From time to time I purge my pen collection, getting rid of the ones I no longer use or plan on using to make room for new ones. I do this at home to keep the wife happy, and at work to keep myself sane because I don't have a lot of room to spare. This usually results in 20-30 pens probably twice a year or so.
The Pen Fairy kicks in from there, leaving some out in the open on a communal office table, and otherwise dispersing some of the better rejects on a few select co-workers desks. Only once during this time have I overheard someone say "Where did this pen come from"? I just grinned a bit and kept quiet. Most of the time I see the pens scattered about, caps missing, or hanging from peoples mouths. Oh well, hopefully they enjoyed the pens for a minute or two.
I received another email just yesterday from The Pen Guy, who has a Mercedes covered with thousands of pens, so donating them is certainly an option.
What do you do with your extra pens?

Tekashi 69 To Join Nicki Minaj and Future Tour
Two days after Tekashi 69 and Nicki Minaj dropped their hit single FEFE, the younger rapper has been revealed as one of the acts to join the rap queen and Future on their joint tour.
This comes days after Tekashi was reportedly kidnapped and robbed by unknown persons after he had wrapped up a movie shoot. He was pistol-whipped and robbed by the men. Eventually, he escaped from their custody and was helped by a stranger who called the ambulance to take him to the hospital.
Speaking about his experience, Tekashi suspected it was an inside job. However, the rapper is in great spirits and it is all thanks to the positive reception of his new song with Nicki despite his troubled history.

Hi House Talkers!
We are so excited to share this episode with you, which is on a topic near and dear to our hearts: how to get more women to run for office!

Emily Cain is the Executive Director of Emily's List, and a former state legislator and Congressional candidate. Emily's List mission is to elect Democratic women to federal, state, and local office. Julie Conway founded and runs VIEW PAC, which helps elect Republican women to office.
You'll hear about some of our favorite female candidates (special shout-outs to Martha McSally, Kristin Gaspar, Chrissy Houlahan, Gina Ortiz Jones, among others!), the question all women candidates get asked that men candidates never do, and why women are so eager to run in 2018.
We'll be back in a few weeks with another new episode!
Thanks for your support!

5 SPONGE BOMBS - with Plastic Figurine Toys Inside
5 SPONGE BOMBS - with Plastic Figurine Toys Inside
Each of these bombs are approximately 3" x 3" and 3/4" deep - nicely filling the palm of an adult hand. Each bomb has a different fruit scents, color and figure inside.
Bombs included are:
Sponge Bob yellow pineapple
Squidward Aqua fruit loop
Patrick orange orange
Plankton blue blueberry
Mr Crabs Purple grape
When you throw this bomb into the tub, it fizzes and foams releasing color, scent and nourishing oils into the water. This continues for about 3-5 minutes. As the bomb melts away, the little toy begins to appear! A surprise finale to the end of the display.
Kids of all ages will love it! Makes a great stocking stuffer, party favor, Easter basket filler or incentive to have on hand when the need arises.

Spearfish Mayor Dana Boke kick offs WP/SDPA conference/
Spearfish Mayor Dana Boke welcomed planners to the 2017 WP/SDPA Conference this morning, recognizing that planners "have very critical and difficult jobs" in their communities.
"You are visionaries who can take the vision and put it to practical steps of execution. This not a common skill set, but on top of that you must do so while having to deal with elected officials, such as myself, and for that I am truly sorry. "It is my experience that you are made of both grace and grit, and I admire that. We truly thank you for everything you do in our communities and for pouring your life into the place you live."
Chuck Marohn, president of Strong Towns, a national nonprofit working to strengthen financial resilience in America's towns and cities, gave the keynote address at the conference. His keynote addressed the questions that so many towns are asking themselves today: Why are we so short of resources despite decades of robust growth? Why do we struggle at the local level just to maintain our basic infrastructure? What do we do now that the economy has changed so dramatically? The answers lie in the way we have developed; the financial productivity of our places. (Stay tuned to coverage of his keynote)
Tours of Sanford Underground Lab and Deadwood area
Planners rode on the Deadwood Trolley from the hotel to hear about the reincarnation of underground mining operations into the Sanford Underground Lab. Coming down the newly re-done Hwy 85 corridor, planners saw the three-year project that redid much of the street; a beautiful walking path; parking area and bathrooms at Puma-a trail head for the Mickelson Trail.

Every year our family gets together at our cabin in Island Park. We all bundle up in our snow suits and go sledding on the side hill. We have great memories of the fun we have at the cabin each year.
I just finished this watercolor sketch of Sledding at the Cabin. I like to start out with a small painting before I tackle a full size painting. I think I'll turn this into a 24x30 painting to hang in the cabin.

Young people are afraid of investing. A Harris poll released in 2016 showed that almost 80% of millennials are not investing in the stock market, missing out on the potential benefits that come with compounding interest by investing early on. Additionally, those millennials who are investing may be making risky moves -- "Three of the top ten most popular stocks on Robinhood [an investing platform geared toward millennials] are Fitbit, GoPro, and Snapchat," notes Yogi co-founder Gautam (goh-thum) Kanumuru. "All three of those stocks have underperformed the market by an average of 20% over the past year." A 2015 study of young Canadians found that 82% of them felt that they "[didn't] have adequate knowledge [for investing]." A Yogi user encapsulated this lack of investing knowledge: "I honestly don't know how to read financial statements and stuff... I just use my gut."
But according to a study by NerdWallet, a personal finance advising website, that fear of investing is misplaced. Using a Monte Carlo simulation, a commonly used statistical model for calculating risk, NerdWallet estimated that if a 25-year-old saved 15% of the median annual income for that age group ($40,456), they had a 99% chance of recouping that initial investment and a 95% chance to accumulate at least $1.67 million, almost tripling their investment. In comparison, savings accounts analyzed in the same manner had less than a 3% chance to triple their investment. (NerdWallet) "The interest rate that you get at the bank is always less than the inflation rate," Gautam states. "When you tell people this, they start to listen when you tell them why investing is important for their finances and for their future."
"Gautam and I met our first year of undergrad at the University of Virginia," says Yogi co-founder Chad Becker. "We took a lot of the same courses together, and sometime during our second year, we talked about starting a company focused around investing. The prototype we developed around that idea that we thought had the most potential ended up becoming Yogi."
"I've been investing since I was 13 and Chad has been investing since he was 14," Gautam chips in. "We've actually had times where friends that were getting into investing would pay us for our advice. We would always return the money, but the fact that people found the guidance so useful that they were paying us flipped a switch in our heads that there was an opportunity there."
Yogi, the investing tool that Chad and Gautam have created, operates as a chatbot that gives users the opportunity to ask questions or take personalized lessons. The user can view a preset list of questions and lessons or ask their own question. Yogi came from investing tools that Chad and Gautam had built on their own for their personal use. "It started with our own experiences," explains Chad. "We didn't make those tools because we wanted to. We felt that we had to in order to be competent investors. Once you start earning your first income, you realize that you're going to have to put it away somewhere," he adds. "And it's not going to be the bank."
The Yogi team sees a problem with the low numbers of younger investors and the high initial barrier to entry required to invest at a competent level. "There are a lot of tools out there to help people learn to invest, but there's a lot of raw data and a lot less on the guidance and usage of that information," says Gautam. "I think that's what ties us to this problem: the belief that anyone can be good at investing. We want to fill those gaps of knowledge preventing people from getting there."
To expand the scope of Yogi, Chad and Gautam are figuring out how to incorporate different topics outside of investing. "Yogi's chat interface makes it easy for users to ask specific questions and get relevant answers that they need. However, it's also simple enough that you can plug in whatever material you want into it across different subjects," Gautam says. "In the future, we're hoping to make this available across a wider set of educational topics, such as personal finance. We can unplug the investing material and potentially plug in anything. The hope is that Yogi will be another way of learning that people are interested in, especially for those who learn best in a casual, 'learn on your own time' environment."
On their work and experiences on their venture so far at the iLab this summer, the Yogi founders had a lot to discuss. "Something Gautam and I said recently is that there's no way we'll be able to go back to a traditional 9 to 5 job at a big company after this summer," says Chad. "Working on Yogi has reinforced with us that even with all this uncertainty and risk, thriving in all of that is just in our nature. Jumping into this full-time and making that leap made us really understand that."
"For me, this summer has reinforced some things that were just ideas or concepts," says Gautam. "Something that I've always heard was, 'Oh, just work hard, manage your time, put in the effort, and it will all come together.' And I think it's one of those things where you really have to go out and do it rather than hear it from someone else for it to really impact your life. It's been a similar experience with what you always hear about entrepreneurs; how founders need to be able to think on their feet, adapt to new situations, all that jazz. I always read about that and had an appreciation for the ideas, but now that I've gone through it myself, I have a fundamental understanding as to why those traits are important."
"All these validations have been super cool," Gautam concludes. "Getting into the iLab was a huge win for us. Hearing from the people who have tried out the beta… even the fact that they're willing to chat is so rewarding for us. The skills I've picked up working on Yogi -- learning what it takes to operate a company and what the most successful and best practices are -- I know for a fact that they'll come in handy."

Yesterday's answer:
D The arrival of the rescue teams
Tuesday, October 21, 1856, Sixth Crossing, Willie Company, John Chislett Journal: The storm which we encountered, our brethren from the Valley also met, and to knowing that we were utterly destitute, they encamped to await fine weather. But when Captain Willie found them and explained our real condition, they at once hitched up their teams and made all speed to come to our rescue. On the evening of the third [probably the second] day after Captain Willie's departure, just as the sun was sinking beautifully behind the distant hills, on an eminence immediately west of our camp several covered wagons, each drawn by four horses, were seen coming towards us. The news ran through the camp like wildfire, and all who were able to leave their beds turned out en masse to see them. A few minutes brought them sufficiently near to reveal our faithful captain slightly in advance of the train. Shouts of joy rent the air; strong men wept till tears ran freely down their furrowed and sun-burnt cheeks, and little children partook of the joy which some of them hardly understood, and fairly danced around with gladness. Restraint was set aside in the general rejoicing, and as the brethren entered our camp the sisters fell upon them and deluged the brethren with kisses. The brethren were so overcome that they could not for some time utter a word, but in choking silence repressed all demonstration of those emotions that evidently mastered them. Soon, however, feeling was somewhat abated, and such a shaking of hands, such words of welcome, and such invocation of God's blessing have seldom been witnessed.
I was installed as regular commissary to the camp. The brethren turned over to me flour, potatoes, onions, and a limited supply of warm clothing for both sexes, besides quilts, blankets, buffalo-robes, woolen socks, etc. I first distributed the necessary provisions, and after supper divided the clothing, bedding, etc., where it was most needed. That evening, for the first time in quite a period, the songs of Zion were to be heard in the camp, and peals of laughter issued from the little knots of people as they chatted around the fires. The change seemed almost miraculous, so sudden was it from grave to gay, from sorrow to gladness, from mourning to rejoicing. With the cravings of hunger satisfied, and with hearts filled with gratitude to God and our good brethren, we all united in prayer, and then retired to rest.
Stewart E. Glazier and Robert S. Clark, Journey of the Trail (Salt Lake City: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 1997), 150-151.

Sometimes I feel I have nothing to say about conflict resolution, good communication or co-parenting. Like everyone else in the world, I get mad, hold grudges, raise my voice, and get pissed at my ex-husband. Who am I to tell anyone how to do these things? Those days, it's hard to write a blog post that seems worthy of my wise, strong, struggling readers (at least that's how I imagine you).
Maybe you got to my post through social media or a search for information about divorce. Maybe you're hoping for insight that will get you through a difficult time. I don't want to be yet another voice out there telling you what you should or should not do; one more reason to lash yourself for not being a better parent or person; or one more voice tickling that fear or guilt inside yourself for choosing to end your marriage. I don't want to give you one more set of "shoulds" and "should nots" that you have to try to add to your already enormous list.
Oklahoma just passed a law that makes it mandatory that people going through divorce attend a class. Senator Standridge, who co-authored the bill, told Reuters "If you are going through the whole divorce process and have kids, if we can do anything to keep people together, we should. Marriage is a lifelong contract with the state and with your children."
While I'm all for education, I just find this depressing and hope it doesn't spread to the rest of the country. In 2014, when 50% of first marriages still end in divorce, we continue to shame parents about their personal choice. Does the state really think that they are going to keep couples together with a 4-hour class when those people have likely struggled for months or years to answer this difficult question? Maybe they have sought advice of their family or clergy or participated in therapy. Certainly they have searched their souls for answers. More likely, they will only succeed at making those parents feel worse for their choice and further stigmatizing divorce for parents and children.
Sure, it's not great that people get divorced. It would be ideal if we really could all live happily ever after. It's better for kids to have two active parents in each home to help provide and care for them. It would also be great if the minimum wage were enough for a full time worker to support a family and if our education system prepared our children to be active members of a civil society.
If you're choosing to end a long-term relationship and you're sorting out the emotional and logistical details of your life, my advice to you is: trust yourself. You did not make this decision in a moment of haste. You will continue to make wise decisions for yourself and your children if you have them. Instead of attending mandatory classes on why you should stay together, take time to care for your physical and emotional well-being. Be patient with your missteps and be patient with the people around you. You will get through this and life will return to normal or better.

Who doesn't like peanut butter? I know some folks are highly allergic to nuts and don't want to make light of that, but peanut butter has been and is a staple of the American culture since around 1900. Actually, peanuts aren't native to the USA. The peanut plant was originally discovered in South America (Brazil or Peru) and eventually found its way here. Peanuts became a commercial crop in the early 1800's and this greatly expanded in the later part of that century as PT Barnum's Circus and baseball helped make them popular. In the early 1900's, with the wisdom of George Washington Carver, the peanut actually helped save the South's economy as the boll weevil wreaked havoc on the cotton crops.
Peanut butter was likely invented here in the USA by Dr. John Henry Kellogg (think cereal) in 1895. Soon it was introduced at the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair. Peanut butter was used widely during World Wars I and II and it was likely during WWII that the Army popularized the peanut butter and jelly sandwich as a way to sustain and nourish the troops during maneuvers.
Peanut butter has been used for many things over the years ... concealing a pill for kids to swallow, clean leather, bait mouse trap, lubricate squeaky hinges, remove gum, clean windshield, repair scratches on wood, moisturize hair, and even as shaving cream. But inmates at Walker County Jail here in Alabama apparently have found another use ... reconfigure numbers on cell doors to trick employees to open the door to the outside so they can escape. Sounds crazy ... but it happened. I'm trusting you saw this report from earlier this week and I don't think it is something Dr. Carver or Dr. Kellogg ever imagined.
This just illustrates how creatively evil the human mind and heart is and can be. We can take something so very good and use it for wicked, deceptive, and evil purposes. Any blessing the Lord gives us is potentially something we can (and eventually probably will) use against His Kingdom purposes. This is a call for us to examine our blessings and make sure we've not exalted the blessing over and above the Giver of the blessing. It's a reminder to us that we need the wisdom, counsel, and help of fellow believers who love us and can help us see when we're using good things for the wrong reasons. This is a solemn warning to never trust something to be "good" just because it "works" and accomplishes a desired result.
Yet instead of simply living in fear of messing up and doing something wrong, it's also a reminder that God's good gifts to us are meant to be enjoyed by us and others as we use them in the way He intends. We don't need a new law against peanut butter, we don't need to put a warning label on every jar, we don't need to add to school curriculum a lesson on the right purposes of peanut butter, etc. Rather, just enjoy your next peanut butter and jelly sandwich and realize it's a blessing from God. And if you see someone using peanut butter in an inappropriate way, love them enough to challenge them to stop wasting it for ungodly purposes and remind them how delicious that sandwich was you just ate!

There will be a concert in Sydney, Australia, specifically developed for dogs. The music will be played by US rock star Lou Reed and the concept was developed by his wife, Laurie Anderson. The music will be very special, played mostly in the high frequences that dog ears can hear, but human ears cannot. Mr. Reed and Ms. Anderson say they have played a lot of music for their own dog, rat terrier Lollabelle.
It would be interesting to hear this music. I am not such a great fan of music, but music composed especially for dogs must be something extra. Auntie Linni, whose father is from Australia, and I even talked about the unlikely possibility of going to Australia to attend to the concert. Australia is far off from Sweden, though, on the other side of Earth. We suppose it will be possible to hear the music some time without going anywhere, music is easily purchased or acquired freely through the Internet these days. If the concert is a success, there might even be a world tour which just might come to Sweden. In that case, maybe Linni and I will go.

Intressant. Men om vi människor påstås inte kunna höra musiken för att den ligger på en frekvens vi inte kan höra - hur vet vi då att de faktiskt spelar någonting över huvud taget?

I used to think serving, loving, and making a difference was complicated and required sophisticated strategy. But now I know better.
When I was a freshman in college, I worked for an inner-city ministry and unexpectedly landed in front of the Board of Directors giving a very big presentation. I felt completely out of place as I looked around the room at all the credentials and business suits. I fumbled through my presentation and at the end, one of the important women approached me. I knew she was the CEO of a massive company. My palms grew sweaty and my heart raced as she moved toward me, and I kind of braced myself by putting one hand on the table behind me to steady my balance. But she didn't ask me any questions. She didn't pick apart my presentation or my plans for the organization's summer program. She just introduced herself, paused, and said something I've never forgotten: "Meredith, I want you to know God has put you in my heart and whatever you do in your life, I'm for you." We hugged and she walked away, and I wholeheartedly believed our interaction would slip her mind, but it absolutely did not. For 15 years, she's patiently, lovingly, and graciously been with me through so many seasons of life. Heartbreak. Opportunity. Marriage. Parenthood. Starting an organization. Celebration. Grief. She didn't just say she was for me or that she loved me. She has consistently been with me.
Susan didn't have an agenda or hidden motive. She was just with me. I've learned so much about Jesus because of her friendship. We don't have to look far in the Gospels to see Jesus' habit of being with people. He simply invited His disciples to walk with him, to share life with Him. He attended weddings, funerals, and feasts - with people. He sat with the women at the well. He was inside with Matthew and his questionable friends at his party while all of the religious folks stood outside criticizing and speculating. He was with the poor, needy, and sick at Peter's mother-in-law's house. He intentionally put himself with people - he moved toward them. Jesus is sometimes called Immanuel - "God with us." God could have orchestrated salvation any number of ways, yet He chose for Jesus to be with us, to move toward us. I think that sheds a lot of light on how we are supposed to love and care for others.
There are thousands of verses about justice and caring for the poor. Thousands. It's a major theme in the Bible, and honestly, I missed it most of my life (more on that another time). But when we do get around to thinking about it or talking about it, there are a lot of different camps in the matter, and the pendulum swings wide: pour resources, time, effort, and energy into meeting tangible needs like food, clothing, and shelter, OR focus on alleviating root causes and providing long-term impact. Are we enabling or leading to freedom? Are we hurting or helping? Am I wasting my time/money/resources or am I making a difference? These are honest concerns and valid questions. I hear these questions a lot. It's so much easier when there's a clear line between right and wrong. We know how to categorize into black and white, but bleeding over into gray makes things complicated and messy. If we were solving a math problem, there would be one right answer and a whole bunch of wrong ones. People aren't problems to be solved, but sometimes we trick ourselves into thinking they are.
I'm actually a huge advocate of wrestling with these questions, in fact, I encourage it. But that's not where our efforts of caring for the poor should begin. But having said that, please know we must get around to beginning somewhere because not having the right answer doesn't translate into a free pass of doing nothing.
Here are 4 "What If's" to get our hearts moving in the right direction:
- What if we moved toward people who might make us feel a little uncomfortable?
- What if we purposed to spend time with people up-close instead of loving them from a distance?
- What if we stopped viewing poverty or tangible needs as problems to solve, and focused on being with the people behind the statistics and needs?
- Jesus started with love. What if we did too?
Answering these questions may not result in mass alleviation of social problems, or in the forging of new pathways out of long-term poverty. Inviting someone who recently got out of jail out for coffee won't solve their need for a job. Attending dinner at the homeless shelter every Monday won't alleviate hunger or solve people's housing need. But I guarantee something will start to change. And that something will be us.
Question: Who can you move toward this week that you might naturally move away from? What would it look like for your family to spent time with those who are poor and marginalized in your community on a regular basis?

Yesterday was Gumby's birthday, so he cooked dinner for all of us (???) and it was delicious. The potatoes needed salt, but other than that, I was pleased. (You're welcome, Gumby, my love.) Here are some snippits of conversations had at the dinner table last night:
Person 1: When was 4th grade?
Person 2: Middle school.
Me: 4th grade was not in middle school.
Person 1: Yeah... 4th grade was 5th, 6th, and 7th.
Me: ...what?? No... 4th grade was 4th grade.... and Middle School was grades 6th-8th!
Person 1: I shouldn't have gone on past 3rd grade...
Gumby: Do you guys remember doing the dictionary challenge in school?
Me: None of us were in school with you.
Gumby: No, I'm pretty sure everyone had to do this! Like, there were teams and everyone would be given a word and you'd have to look it up.
Someone else: In a dictionary?
Another person: Did you have to use the index?
Gumby: I hate you guys.
Me (to Gumby's friend): Hi! I'm Emelie.
Gumby: No, her name is Ellen.
Me: No... It's not... It's Emelie.
Other friend: She's lying. Her name is Ellen.
Me: Um...
Other friend: Yeah, she just doesn't like the name "Ellen" so she tells people her name is "Emelie." She doesn't even spell it right, though...
Me whispering to myself: My name is Emelie...
Gumby's Friend: ...I officially have no idea what your name is. It's nice to meet you.
Me: Yeah... You too....
After Gumby received a book titled "How To Be an Optimist and Make It Pay" by Nelson Doubleday
Gumby: This is fantastic.
Friend: It's from series that I frequent. I once gave his book "How to Turn a Boner into a Bonanza!" to someone a few years ago.
Me: I'm sorry... What?
Friend: It's true! Back in the 1950's the word "boner" just meant "mistake."
Me: ...That's... appropriate...
Do any of you guys have conversations as strange as these?
