Brian Hamilton's life changed in a prison when he was accompanying his friend, Reverend Robert J. Harris, who often went to local prisons to do his work. During the visit, Hamilton started talking to one of the prisoners and asked what he was going to do when he got out.
"He said he was going to get a job," Hamilton recalls(回忆). "I thought to myself, wow, that's going to be difficult with a criminal background."
The conversation made Hamilton consider how prisoners could benefit from entrepreneurship, something he thought about for years. Finally in 2008, 16 years after that initial conversation, Hamilton created Inmates to Entrepreneurs, a nonprofit organization that helps people with criminal backgrounds start their own small businesses. "Harris and I taught our first course at a prison called 'How to Start Your Own Business When You Get Out'," he recalls.
At the time, Hamilton was building his own company, Sageworks. As Sageworks grew, so did Hamilton's time spent teaching at prisons throughout North Carolina.
Eventually, Hamilton decided it was time to change his focus to his true passion. In May 2018, he sold his stake(股份) in Sageworks, focusing his commitment on Inmates to Entrepreneurs.
"Now, anyone is able to access the curriculum, either to become an instructor to go into prisons to teach it or to access it for themselves as a prisoner or part of the general population," Hamilton explains. In addition, he visits middle schools and presents the curriculum to at-risk students as a preventative measure against crime.
The free curriculum is funded by the recently established Brian Hamilton Foundation, which offers assistance to military members as they adjust to civilian life and provides loans to small businesses. "We're giving prisoners something they can do independent of a system that isn't working for them. If you can let people know that other people care about them, it makes a difference."
Move over, helicopter parents. "Snowplow(扫雪机) parents" are the newest reflection of an intensive(强化的) parenting style that can include parents booking their adult children haircuts, texting their college kids to wake them up so they don't sleep through a test, and even calling their kids' employers.
Helicopter parenting, the practice of wandering anxiously near one's children, monitoring their every activity, is so 20th century. Some rich mothers and fathers now are more like snowplows: machines moving ahead, clearing any difficulties in their children's path to success, so they don't have to suffer failure, frustration(挫折)or lose opportunities.
It starts early, when parents get on wait lists for excellent preschools before their babies are born and try to make sure their kids never do anything that may frustrate them. It gets more intense when school starts: running forgotten homework to school or calling a coach to request that their children make the team.
Rich parents may have more time and money to devote to making sure their children don't ever meet with failure, but it's not only rich parents practicing snowplow parenting. This intensive parenting has become the most welcome way to raise children, regardless of income, education, or race.
Yes it's a parent's job to support the children, and to use their adult wisdom to prepare for the future when their children aren't mature enough to do so. That's why parents hide certain toys from babies to avoid getting angry or take away a teenager's car keys until he finishes his college applications.
But snowplow parents can take it too far, some experts say. If children have never faced a difficulty, what happens when they get into the real world?
"Solving problems, taking risks and overcoming frustration are key life skills," many child development experts say, "and if parents don't let their children experience failure, the children don't acquire them."
There are billions of people on this planet, and many of us love to eat meat. Can the demand be filled in a sustainable(可持续的) and affordable way? A bunch of businessmen are not only optimistic but are working to make this happen sooner than you may think.
The environmental effects caused by meat consumption (食用)—waste, animal treatment, health problems and even the greenhouse gas effects that are potentially caused by methane gas produced by cows—have given rise to a number of startups(新兴公司)looking to develop meats in different ways.
For example, San Francisco-based Memphis Meats is developing cell-based meats in its labs without requiring any animals. Israel's Future Meat Technologies is doing the same by producing fat and muscle cells that are being tested by chefs in Jerusalem. All of these companies use special processes to harvest cells from animals and grow them in a lab.
But don't worry if you're not a meat lover. Startups such as Jet Eat, which is also based in Israel, are working on food products grown in labs that are plant-based and replicate (复制) meats using natural elements while still keeping flavor, consistency and the "overall sensory experience", according to a report on NoCamels. Jet Eat, which was founded in early 2018, aims to 3D-print their lab-grown products by 2020.
As you can imagine, there are plenty of barriers facing the industry. Educating the public is a big one. Another controversial issue is the labeling of the products. Recently both the USDA and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that they will begin jointly controlling the new "cell-based meat" category.
Many of us have concerns about the challenges facing future generations as our global population increases and the earth's natural resources decreases. The good news is that there are plenty of businessmen around the world—like those producing lab-grown meats—who are working to solve some of these problems and make a little money in the process. Nothing wrong with that.
How to Meet New People
It is easy to find a place where people gather. But once you're in a room full of people, then what? The trick is finding a way to approach someone and get them talking to you.
Prepare to meet new people before you arrive. . Don't think in terms of yes or no questions. You should consider questions that will allow the person to contribute more than a one-word answer to the conversation.
Arrive at your event or place. Don't panic when you walk in the door. Take your time and look over the room. If this is a classroom, take a seat and look around the room. , take time to enjoy the art while looking at the people. Don't rush into talking to someone. You have time, so just get a feel for the group.
Approach someone. . But remember, if the person is at the event alone, they may also be shy and try to break out and meet people. You need to make them feel comfortable by chatting with them.
. Keep them talking and talk
yourself—remember 
conversation goes in two directions. You may have a couple of awkward moments, but if you have a few items planned to talk about, you'll find that they'll start adding their own questions and information to the conversation.
Don't forget to ask them for a friendship follow-up. , try asking your new friend if they'd like to go to another event with you. If it is a repeat event, such as a class, try asking them if they'd like to meet for coffee before the next class to study the material.
A. If it is a one-time event
B. If this is an art show
C. If you have picked out someone to approach
D. Mentally pull out your prepared questions
E. You may not meet your next best friend on your first try
F. You might find it easiest to approach someone who is also alone
G. Sit down and write out a list of potential questions you can ask someone
This is so easy, inexpensive, and has always brought either of two 1: a look of shock or a big smile. I am a cane(手杖) walking senior lady with mobility 2, especially in cold weather but I have a sharp 3 for useful bargains and since I still 4, I can do this without having to get in and out of the car to help people.
Here is how it "works". When I see gloves, warm hats and scarves on sale (new or in good condition from a second-hand store), I buy them very 5. If laundering(洗涤)is 6, I do it to 7 tiny stains, so everything looks good.
I have a large basket that I keep in the passenger side of my car and I "file" these things in it, where I can 8 reach over and get whatever I determine is most 9 for someone who is without and out in the cold.
I am always 10 of things and people around me in parking lots and along the walkways of my small hometown. But when I see someone obviously 11 and without what will help them, I 12 beside them, roll down my 13, and ask if they will 14 and wear all three things or whatever is needed...and then as they stare at me in 15, I always add: "I have things right here in my 16 to share. Please me by 17 them to stay warm when you are outside."
Not yet have I 18 hostility (敌意)or felt in any danger, but since so many of the items are "cheerful" colors, I often see the persons I gave them to walking down the street. It 19 my heart to know that my items are being used and 20.
English perfectly shows the "network effects" of a global tongue: the more people use it, the more useful it is. Parents expect their children (master)English, which is encouraging the (grow)of private schooling. Education authorities are switching to English medium, in part to control the outflow(外流) of children into the private sector.
Teaching children in English is fine if that is they speak at home and their parents are fluent it. But that is not case in most public and low-cost private schools. Children are taught in a language they don't understand by teachers English is poor. The children learn neither English nor anything else.
Research shows that children learn (much)when they are taught in their mother tongue than they do when they are taught in any other language. In a study of children in 12 schools in Cameroon last month, those taught in Kom (do)better than those taught in English in all subjects.
English should be an important subject at school, but not (necessary)the language of instruction. Rather than switching to English-medium teaching, governments fearful of (lose) custom (光顾) to the private sector should look at the many possible ways of improving public schools.

Last Sunday, while eat in a restaurant, I noticed a bowl full of dumplings on the table next to mine. They must have left by someone. Just then, an old man came in. Judging from her clothes, I believed he were poor. He saw the dumplings left on the table. Being shyly, he sat down and started eating. The others around look at him, puzzled, but some even laughed at him. Therefore, after finishing the dumplings, he went up to the donation box on the counter, put one hundred yuan in it and left, leaving us all shocked and ashamed about.
We shouldn't judge a person just from his or her appearance. A person which has a loving heart is the richest in the world.
