Another QUARTER - Another RECORD!
Again, International Readership recorded a spectacular quarter, by achieving a record quarterly increase of 168% or 96,306 in the Second Quarter; bringing the total for the year to 145,671. First Quarter growth was 35,945. Back in July results were just over 13,940, which means that growth to-date was an amazing 1052.4% in just six short months.
What else is new? Well, with the combined efforts of our creative team, we completed a Workshop Promotional Video highlighting our upcoming program at The519 in Toronto. As well, we have began the Storefront for our on-line site that should be up and running in 90 days.
What else? Next month we should have all the co-ordinates for our new corporate address in downtown Toronto as we march towards rapidly expanding our International base, media platforms and service deliverables.

#Theguardian - Why We #Sleep by Matthew Walker - Book Review
How more sleep can save your life
A neuroscientist has found a revolutionary way of being cleverer, more attractive, slimmer, happier, healthier and of warding off cancer – a good night’s shut-eye
Nightmare … sleep is a panacea for a bewildering array of conditions. Photograph: Barbara Jovanovic/EyeEm
Awake at 4.30am the other morning, having been roused from sleep by my four-year-old son climbing into bed with my wife and me (a more or less nightly occurrence), I found myself sitting up and reading about the effects of insufficient sleep. It has been making me stupider, fatter, unhappier, poorer, sicker, worse at sex, as well as more likely to get cancer, Alzheimer’s and to die in a car crash. At the same time, my lack of sleep has been slowly but inexorably shrinking a) my chances of living into my mid 60s, b) my testicles. READ MORE.

Can you grow your #hippocampus? Yes. Here’s #how, and #why it matters
By: Dr. Majid Fotuhi
A pair of thumb-sized structures deep in the center of the human brain are critical for our ability to learn and remember. Thanks to their shape, each of them is called hippocampus — which means seahorse in Greek. These brain areas have the unique capacity to generate new neurons every day. In fact, recent human studies have shown that there are 700 new brain cells in the hippocampus every day. Most of these neurons, however, do not survive. In their new-born (pre-mature) phase, they need a great deal of support to survive, grow, and become an active member of the hippocampal community of neurons. READ MORE.
Why are we here? Why was I created? What’s the purpose of this thing called life?
To artists, whose essential purpose is creation, these grand questions are felt profoundly — the human condition is our stock in trade, even if it’s incredibly privileged to ponder it as one’s profession. As millions struggle to make enough money to eat, we struggle to make art. This is why every serious artist, at some point, questions: is what I do useful, or relevant to everyone — or is it simply luxurious?
As a creative writing practitioner and teacher, I wrestle with this constantly. READ MORE.
#SUCCESS: Warren #Buffett: The Three Things I Look For in a Person
Students often go to visit Warren Buffett. And when they do, he often plays a little game on them.
He asks each student to pick a classmate. Not just any classmate, but the classmate you would choose if you could have 10% of their earnings for the rest of their life. Which classmate would you pick and why?
“Are you going to pick the one with the highest IQ?” asks Buffett. “Are you going to pick the guy who can throw a football the farthest? The one with the highest grades? What qualities will cause you to pick them?”
Then he changes things up again. Who would you think least likely to succeed? Why? READ MORE.
