NAIROBI—Tin Tin, a Chinese restaurant located in central Nairobi, has been serving local Kenyans for nearly four decades with its delicious dishes and unique cultural background .

"This is a restaurant definitely worth a try,” said Steven, a local resident in his 30s."It has provided Chinese food since my grandfatherJ s time. ”

According to Henry Tin, the restaurant owner, Tin Tin was established in 1978 at the heart of the Nairobi Central Business District ? upholding Chinese cuisines while adapting to Kenyan preferences .

For years, it has become a defining part of the city's landmark—Kenya International Conference Center—attracting lots of office workers nearby and even presidential customers .

"The former president of Kenya, Moi, was a very good customer for us. He came almost always in cash. Then former president Mwai Kibaki and now president Uhuru. They all like to enjoy our food," Tin said.

Danis, an office worker of an insurance company near the KICC says he is a frequenter of the restaurant.

“ It is the only Chinese restaurant in the highly competitive downtown area. Besides, its food has been adapted to our taste," Danis said, " My favorite dishes are fried shrimp and fried pork, which you can also find in a Kenyan restaurant. ”

“ High-quality food consistently served over the decades has helped maintain loyal customers, ” Enoch Kivunaga said, at Tin Tin.

"My experience depends on the customers・ If I cook good food, they always come back, whether they are presidents or ministers, ” he said.

Tin said he speaks Swahili well and perfectly pronounces local names, which shows the Chinese culture and its Kenyan counterpart are quickly combining・"I am a Kenyan Chinese. I love both great countries. ”

What's the one thing every child wants in school? More breaks! And that is exactly what some schools are giving students, which turns out to be beneficial for everyone. Eagle Mountain Elementary School in Fort Worth, Texas, is one of four public schools carrying out the LiiNK program, a project that increases breaks per day to improve creativity, develop character ? and heighten school success.

LiiNK was inspired by Scandinavian approaches to learning based on the simple concept （观念）of giving children more outside playtime and less time spent indoors. In Finland, where the system has been in place for decades, students have some of the highest scores on global assessment tests. Instead of spending increasing amounts of time inside the classroom? they' re putting more and more focus on physical activity. Finnish kids get to enjoy 15 minutes of playtime for every hour of class.

After spending six weeks in Finland in 2016, Debbie Rhea, the creator of LiiNK and professor at Texas Christian University, discovered that the additional breaks of outdoor playn actually helped students improve their performance inside the classroom. "You start putting 15 minutes into these kids every so often and it gives the platform for them to be able to function at their best level," she says.

Other studies have shown that outdoor playtime decreases restlessness, anxiety, and has a whole other benefits such as improved motor skills, physical fitness, and social development. Rhea started carrying out the program in private schools in 2017, and has since expanded her program to districts in Texas, Oklahoma, Minnesota, and Utah and the children in these schools are all the happier for it. It just goes to show that the best way to raise happy and successful children, is to simply let them be kids every once in a while.

We are deep into January, and winter is in full swing. The days are short, grey, and cold, and many of us are fighting the annoying u Winter Blues”. Yes, lack of sunlight can cause a type of depression called seasonal affective disorder (or SAD). Sunlight causes an increase in serotonin-a “ happy hormone ” -in your body, and with a long winter ahead of us we must look for other choices to improve our moods .

One of the best ways to fight off   SAD is with light treatment. This treatment is safe, accessible, and easy and there is a wide range of different light lamps available on the market.

Most of these lamps are small and simple, and can easily slip into your home’s decoration-just switch it on and carry on with your normal day .

When buying your light treatment device(设备), keep a few things in mind . Make sure that the light you are buying gives off at least 10, 000 lux of light . Less than that and the light might not be effective. There are many reviews online, and it will be easy to find the best lamp for you.

Try to find one whose bulb is easy to find and replace . You don, t want to be stuck trying to figure out how to put the lamp back together.

Finally, do your full research. There are so many different types and styles of lamp. Do you miss exercising outside ? There is even one that you can put to your treadmill（跑步机）in order to copy running outdoors.

There are larger lamps which are considered to be the most effective. There are small, nice lamps that don't take up too much space . There are modern designs such as vintage-style light-bulbs . There are even happy lamp alarm clocks, which are like sunrise, giving their users a gentle, natural wake-up.
