BALANCED LIFESTYLE  

Our Chairman continues his Balanced Lifestyle lecture series at the Hubei Provincial Library.  June's lecture is titled "Student Personal Finance".  As this is a very important aspect of a sane and healthy life, he has included knowledge about personal and family financials.  But, as many people have told him of students' problems with their own personal finances, he has decided to include aspects relating to students dilemas relating to financial planning once at unversity, especially when studying abroad.  Certainly a "don't miss" lecture.  Welcome to attend... this Saturday, June 17th, starting at 09:30.

GAMING LECTURE  

S.E.I 's research on education covers a wide variety of social aspects.  Case in point.  Our President, Christopher A. Hill, is quite the expert on internet (and computer) gaming.  Lest you think less of such an activity, remember that research confirms that gaming does help participants acheive better health, wellness and certainly happiness (Cognitive benefits... 2015, Psychology Today).  Caution! ...such gaming should be undertaken in moderation.  Check out our President's Blog for an enlightening article.  And of course we extend a special thanks for his May 20th Hubei Library lecture.

NEW WEB PAGE  

Further to April's Hubei Library lecture on Wealth, some participants asked our Chairman for an extended list of related books and websites that would help them to better understand the concepts behind building one's wealth.  We are pleased to announce that such a list... a library of resources as been compiled and put on S.E.I 's website.  Check it out on our Publications webpage.

S.E.I  LAPEL PIN  

S.E.I 's activites are ramping up.  So what better way to make the public aware than to hand out freebies.  Welcome to look over the design... and maybe get a free sample... by attending one of our events.  We have already handed out "pins" to people attending our Hubeil Library lectures.

HUBEI LIBRARY LECTURE SERIES  

S.E.I 's contribution to the HL Lecture Series for April 22nd leads us to question wealth: "If your riches are truly only yours, why can't you take them to the afterlife." This Balanced Lifestyle session will show us that there is an alternative meaning to wealth that seems to have been lost to most.

READING... AND LEARNING  

One of the joys of many people is reading, whether novels or biographies or... whatever.  Our Chairman is not an exception... it is actually a basic activity of a research scientist like himself.  But he recently came across a science fiction book that truly upset him.  The storyline of "Prototype D" was such a surprise that it lead James to write an article for LinkedIN and Facebook. The title is "Enemies of Convenience".

Happy ROOSTER New Year

Sincere best wishes to everyone as we prepare to welcome the New Year of the Rooster.  This year is the Fire Rooster, so a good year for those who are trustworthy and have a strong sense of timekeeping and responsibility.

 

At S.E.I , these are ingrained habits that we are using to promote a Global Village Mindset.  These are the characteristics we look for as we expand our team so that we can better concentrate on the realization of our G4Habitat in Canada and a caregiver / nurse training program in Hubei Province, China.
