READING BOOKS | GAIN KNOWLEDGE

It is not a miracle that today young kids don't like to eat vegetables. Young minds need to eat their vegetables and not just junk foods like cheese pizza, pepperoni pizza, smokies sausages, hot dogs, macaroni and cheese, and of course, candy. Kids need to eat vegetables - though they may not like it - as parents, we need to set a good example. Eat vegetables, grow healthy, and be good readers. According to Castro, Samuels, & Harman (2013), "Factors that have been identified as related to childhood obesity include limited intake of healthy food and limited physical activity."  The researchers state that low-income families have limited resources to spend on health foods and tend to buy low-cost foods, more energy concentrated. These foods are full of fat, high in sugar, and contain low amounts of vital nutrients for a child's growth.  With the advent of mobile devices, children are even less willing to do physical exercise and instead spend time on social...

What does love mean during the Thanksgiving season? “To love is human, the quest for peace, divine." Dr. J The word "love" means different things to different people. The love of a child differs from the love of a pet. The love we have for going to school differs from the love of going to a sporting event. The love we have for eating dinner in a restaurant is different from the love we have from cooking our meals. The love of reading books is the love that transcends generations. The love of reading a novel expands your minds and educates the reader about the world around them.   For Siya, love of reading a book is universal, and in the words of famous reggae singer Bob Marley, it is "One Love." That's the view that Siya has for the world. "One Love," where we all live together and be all right. Imagine living in a world of peace, harmony, no fighting, no wars, and all the children are happy and grow up in a peaceful world. For Si...

Your job could be in jeopardy As parents, we want to know the health of our children even when they are adults and no longer under our insurance. Parents feel obligated to want to know everything about their children. Parents believe it is their responsibility to raise a healthy child throughout the child's life. I happen to be working on this project with a pharmacist who was very knowledgeable about the medical facility. He had been working there for almost fifteen years, and all the nurses liked him for his intelligence, soft-spoken voice, and openness. On this team, there were five of us working on a very complex cloud transition security project, and we spent lots of hours in the medical facility. We had a good team, and the project was moving according to plans, and we bonded and felt good about the progress we were making on the project. On this one day, a team member, the pharmacist looked out the window and saw his daughter coming to the medical facility. It sur...

“A team is similar to a family. A united family is a winning team.” Dr. J The game had been going on for ninety minutes, and the scoreboard had not changed. There was not a single player on the field who could change the scoreboard. After ninety minutes of a dueling match and another thirty minutes of overtime, there were no goals scored by either team. Our coach had predicted it would come to penalty kicks, but I did not think so because our practices and our mindset showed we would pull it off at the regular time. Off-season During the off-season, our management had spent most of the time, ensuring that we fill gaps in our roster. The administration drafted two top players to fill in gaps, and management also recruited top trainers. They upgraded the training facilities with newer equipment and added a wade pool and two more free weight stations. Our coach also hired two trainers with a specialty in soccer. They considered these doctors the best in the business, and they ...
