Dear English - Уважаемый английский 

I came across a podcast about an 80 year old man sharing a valuable life lesson. This life lesson is the same lesson that I learned over the last few years. I hope that this podcast will give insights about business and entrepreneurship to those who want to try it out.

In this episode, I read a short story about a man flying home and his conversation with the older gentleman sitting next to him. This story contains great natural dialogue and a casual atmosphere.

日本のクリスマス🎁について話しました。みなさんの国ではクリスマスに何をしますか？🎄🍷

SeikaのPodcast🎧

Ep.63 日本人はクリスマスに働きます🎄👩‍💻

There's an old English saying that goes: "Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise."

But according to a recent study, "late to bed and late to rise" may actually be better for your brain — though researchers didn't check if it does anything for your health or your wallet.

A study published in BMJ Public Health looked at data from nearly 27,000 people who reported how long they slept, and whether they were a "morning lark" — someone who wakes up early — or a "night owl," who sleeps late.

The participants, aged between 53 and 86, also did cognitive tests that checked their reasoning, memory, and how quickly they could process information.

It was found that night owls performed best on the cognitive tests — ahead of those who described themselves as neither morning people nor night people. And morning larks had the lowest cognitive scores of all.

People's bodies have times when they naturally prefer to sleep. And Raha West of Imperial College London, the study's lead author, said that while it's possible to gradually shift your sleeping times, it's very difficult to completely change from a morning person to a night person.

However, she also said the results just show the trend, and not the truth for every individual.

The authors also noted that their results, which focused on older adults, contrasted with past research on adolescents, which found that young morning larks actually had better health and better mental well-being.

Speaking to The Guardian, Jacqui-Ann Hanley of Alzheimer’s Research UK, who wasn't involved with the study, also said it isn't clear if being a morning person leads to poorer cognitive results in older adults, or if the weaker cognitive abilities that come with aging just make people get up earlier.

The study also found that people generally got better cognitive scores if they reported sleeping between seven and nine hours each night.

ESTE CUENTO NOS HABLA DE: El Expreso de la Medianoche: Un Enigmático Juego parte 2.


Tras el aparente cierre del caso del banquero asesinado, el detective se vio envuelto en una nueva serie de eventos extraños. Visiones recurrentes del niño autista, mensajes crípticos en el diario del banquero y la reaparición de la joya robada lo llevaron a una conclusión aterradora: el caso estaba lejos de resolverse.

Descubrió que la sociedad secreta a la que pertenecía el banquero era mucho más antigua y poderosa de lo que imaginaba. Sus rituales ocultos y sus conocimientos prohibidos estaban relacionados con una reliquia ancestral, y la joya robada era una pieza fundamental para activarla.

El detective, junto con el niño autista, se embarcó en una peligrosa búsqueda a través de Europa, siguiendo las pistas dejadas por la sociedad secreta. Descubrieron que el tren Orient Express era solo una pieza de un rompecabezas mucho más grande, y que el asesinato del banquero era parte de un plan milenario para desatar una fuerza oscura sobre el mundo.
