My Children My Treasure

Image
My children are the only treasure I have in life. However, unlike most treasures, I could not keep them locked inside a treasure chest. I have to let them go and let them explore their childhood. My kids are hyperactive and they seem to be always engrossed into something. As much as I wanted to protect them from harm and illness, I cannot keep an eye on them every second of the day. We all can imagine what children are capable of when they are alone. Being sick is no fun to both the child and the parents and we all know that many times it is unavoidable. The health of my children is my top priority. I want to provide them the best health care possible. As a parent, I recognize the need for health insurance. I believe that no child should have to go without adequate health care. Any parent needs to know how to find the best health insurance for their children. Fortunately, we already have health insurance under a group plan offered by our employer. However, for those who do not have

Farewells Hurt But Sync Program Helps

Goodbye Old Buddy! After two years of working together, I guess it is about time to say farewell to a friend. Through vicissitudes, you were always there for me. I have learned so much from you – from personal matters to all matters in the universe! With just a press of my finger, you would willingly oblige and help me through my work. When I am bored or lonely, you were always there to cheer me up with your helpful quotes and funny jokes. When I need to define things, you give me a bunch of choices. When I need to keep in touch with my friends, you easily make it up for me. When I need to look for something, you are always there to assist me. You have always lent a helping hand for me but never asked for anything in return. I feel so guilty to leave you after so many things you have done for me. However, time goes by and we grow old, and as we grow old we could not do things as fast as we do them when we are still younger. Now that I have a new partner, it does not mean that I w

Motivating Children to Read

Image
Getting your children into the habit of reading is one way of enriching their knowledge about life. Reading allows them to explore and expand their world, challenges them to think from a new perspective and see the world beyond their daily experiences. Encourage your children to start reading. Set yourself as an example. Let them see you poring over books, magazines or newspapers. If they see you reading, they are likely to join in. Books contain new words that would help improve their language and understanding. Libraries and bookstores carry a wealth of good books and magazines your children can pick out. Give them the freedom to choose what they like and read them together. Reading together is fun and helps build relationships with your children. Reading with your children or talking about what they have read is a wonderful way to show them that it is a remarkable and worthy way to spend free time together.

Teenage Girl Beats Off Shark with Bodyboard

Fourteen-year-old Lydia Ward from New Zealand was bodyboarding at Oreti Beach near the Southern City of Invercargill with her brother when a shark attacked her in waist-deep water, biting her hip. Lydia defended herself by repeatedly hitting the approximately 1.5-meter (4.9ft) long shark with her bodyboard until it let go. Explaining how she had read about a surfer who fought off a shark attack with her board, Lydia said, "That's what she did, and that's what you're meant to do." Lydia added, "I showed Dad and he didn't really believe me. But then I showed him my wetsuit, with all the blood coming out, and he believed me." Lydia survived the attack without serious injuries and suffered only several wounds that required medical treatment.

Giant Squids Invade California Waters

Image
Giant squids are invading the California waters off Newport Beach and fishermen are having a field day attempting to reel in the unusual catch. The squid, some up to 60 pounds and 4 feet long, were first caught Thursday afternoon, and anglers began making twilight expeditions Friday night to catch the nocturnal sea creatures, which spend daytime close to the ground and rise to the surface at night. “When they’re lifted out of the water … they become a giant squirt gun. Chances are you’re gonna take a faceful or a chestful of water – and probably ink – when you pull them out … everybody laughs.” While the arrival of these amazing giant squids sparks excitement to some, the mystery behind this, I think, should create high level of concern to anyone. Where did these creatures come from? Why are they appearing on the beach? What must have caused them to leave their home? Maybe we might want to consider some good reasons before hunting them down and wiping them all out? Source: Los
