Finally I asked. “What was that all about?”

“Nothing.” He said, “My teacher said we should our parents that we love them and see what they say. It’s .”

The next day I called his teacher to find out more about this “experiment” and how the other parents had .

“Basically, most of the fathers had the reaction as you did.” The teacher said, “When I first we try this”, I asked the children what they thought their parents would say. Some of them thought their parents would have heart trouble. “The is,” the teacher explained. “feeling loved is an important part of . It’s something all human beings . What I am trying to tell the children is that it’s too we all don’t express those feelings. A boy should be to tell his dad that he loves him.”

The teacher, a middle-aged man, understands how it is for some of us to say the things that would be good for us.

When my son came to me that evening, I held on to him for second. And just before he away, I said in my deepest, most manly voice, “Hey, I love you, too.”

I don’t know if saying that made either of us healthier, but it did feel pretty good. Maybe next time one of my children says, “I love you.”, it would not take me a whole to think of the right .

Five Things You Should Know About Adult Asthma (哮喘)

About 44 million people in Asia Pacific suffer from asthma.The numbers are on the rise especially in China and India where there is rapid industrialization and urbanization.Dr Mariko Koh, Director of the Pulmonary Function Laboratory and Asthma Programme at Singapore General Hospital, tells us more about adult asthma:

We’ve been covering standing desks for a long time now because experts agree that sitting all day is killing us.We want to be productive while also keeping our bodies healthy.Over the years,there have been several solutions to this from fixed standing desks to adjustable ones,portable desks to ones that change into shelves.

However, the most high tech and elegant solution has to be this new smart desk called The Stir Kinetic Desk.The desk learns your daily behaviors and moves between a sitting and standing height regularly throughout the day to keep you moving without interrupting your work flow.

You can program specific sitting and standing intervals or let the desk set the schedule.If you tend to sit while returning emails in the morning,but always want to stand during that afternoon conference call,the desk will learn those regular habits and adjust the schedule to fit them. Of course,the desk can always be manually lowered or raised by using the touch screen on the lower left comer of the desk.

When switching positions,the desk gently dips and rises to let you know that a change is coming up.If you’re not ready to switch positions at that time,you can tap the touchscreen to stay sitting or standing for a while longer.

The built.in touchscreen also keeps track of your daily sitting and standing times and tells you how many calories you’ve burned.You can even set goals for how long or often you want to stand.The desk also works with fitness devices like the FitBit to track your movements.

All of that smart tech doesn’t come cheap though.The M1 desk,which is the everyday model,runs a steep $2,990,while the more executive model with added features,the F1,goes for$4,190.

While expensive,it’s worth thinking of how much time we spend at our desks.Much like a good mattress(床垫),a good desk that works with you is worth the investment.Hopefully in a few years these smart,integrated desks will be more common and less expensive.
