Have you experienced being called "sweetie" or "honey" by somebody 30 years younger than you? How did you feel?
In our society, ageism against older people is still alive and kicking. Sometimes, if we're not careful, our words can carry and convey a different meaning which creates judgments and assumptions that can discriminate an individual or a group of people.
Ageism happens when people are defined not by their personality, individuality or beliefs but by their age. Older adults are often seen as incompetent, dependent and debilitated, and sometimes, like children who need caring.
In most cultures, ageism against older people through prevalent negative attitudes and thinking is generally accepted. On a larger scale, ageist ideas are often imposed by our cultural influences such as media, religion, family and society in general.
For instance, "anti-aging" beauty campaigns with the use of the word itself suggest that everyone should counter aging and therefore buy products to keep their skin young. As we are bombarded everyday with ads and shows about this, we are unconsciously being molded to think that young is good and old is bad.
Ageism is so normal that it is incorporated in our everyday language and subtle comments on older people. Most ageist remarks are often overlooked or missed and although it's hurtful, older adults are forced to just accept it. At the same time compliments towards them are double-edged. If you refer to an older woman as "young lady", you unconsciously perpetuate the idea that old is bad (so you shouldn't call them old) and young is good. By trying not to hurt their feelings, you unintentionally hurt them instead.
1. Humans are not naturally Ageist. Do you know that there were times in history where ageism against older people didn't exist? According to historians, in tribes, elders were venerated, valued and they were usually the most powerful and respected persons in the community. They have the extensive knowledge based on experience and teachings of their ancestor, they memorize their community's history, and they pass their knowledge to the next generations. Some indigenous peoples today still practice this and still recognize their elders as powerful figures in their communities.
2. Printing Press and Industrial Revolution made older people less revered. Their roles as wise vessels of knowledge changed along with society's advancement. When the printing press was invented, the elder's unique task of passing information to younger people became irrelevant. During the industrial revolution, families were required to be mobile to adapt to the changing market. In this case, older family members were often left behind by young relatives to increase the mobility of the family. When older people play lesser roles, they were also viewed lesser by the society, and even by their own.
3. Fear of Death. According to Greenberg's Terror Management Theory, older people remind us of our inevitable mortality so we often link negative thoughts and feelings towards older adults. To young people, the idea of death is so terrifying that they blame older people for getting older, treating them with pity, anger, patronizing talk and irritation. By doing this, they're denying their future and tricking themselves that they won't eventually die. This negative thinking creates a cycle making older people look weaker and incompetent. It is the breeding ground for ageist insults to thrive.
4. Institutionalized Ageism means it is embedded in our culture. Bedtime stories often depict villains as cranky old witches who want to eat children. Television shows often portray old people as frail, forgetful and always slow. Rarely do we see an active and lively old person as the star of the show (except Doctor Who of course, who's not human but an alien). A study in 2003 suggests that women aged 40 and up are just 27% of women who have roles on TV shows. Even birthday cards are ageist with their message "sorry to hear you are another year older." Jokes on getting older, though regarded as benign humor, are half-truths of our fear of it. And last but not the least, the most prominent of all evidence of ageism is America's addiction to hide their age through surgeries and anti-aging products.
5. Ageism in Workplace. Because older people are seen as deteriorating in all aspects, workplaces usually are harsh towards them. This is evident in forced retirement practices and age restrictions in job employment. The classified ads are overflowing with ageist content. According to AARP, about two-thirds of workers aged 45 to 74 have experienced age discrimination in the workplace.
Although it is now against the law for employers to put an age cap in job openings, they just get away with it by using different words. The phrase "we are looking for young, vibrant person to join our team" immediately translates, "we are not looking for old people."
If left unchanged, ageist comments can erode the self-confidence of older people and make them feel ostracized. So how can we learn to recognize ageism and how do we avoid it? Here are some ageist words, phrases and non-verbal cues that should be avoided.
1. Offensive Descriptions and adjectives. Avoid these words because they are plain mean and hurtful.
Old hag, old-timer, little old lady, old coot, over the hill, old foggy, frail, past hill, Jurassic, decrepit, ancient, biddy, codger, crone, fossil, geezer, old fart, old goat, prune, senile old fool, eccentric, feisty, spry, feeble, grandmotherly, grandfatherly and vegetable.
2. Seemingly kind but still offensive endearments. Older people don't like being treated like babies. They are still mature individuals who deserve respect. Instead of calling them what they're not, call them by their names Ms. Smith or just plain Judith, and not sweetie.
Sweet, honey, dear, darling, young lady, golden years, doughty grandma, cute, tiny, adorable, umpteen years
3. Generalization. As much as we don't want to be stereotyped by our race, ethnicity or our gender, or be lumped into one description such as "all millennials are apathetic" or "all baby boomers are junkies", we shouldn't generalize older people by what other older people can and cannot do, what they have and don't have.
"Older patients don't have many opportunities for touch, so hug them."
"Old dogs can't learn new tricks."
"Old people are perpetually out of touch"
4. Treating them as others. When we separate ourselves from them, we treat them like they're different than the rest. An "us versus them" mentality should be avoided.
"These seniors make aging look easy, though they're four times my age"
"We should treat elderly with the same attitude and approach as treating younger patients."
5. Uncharacteristic for their Age. Though it may be hard for them, older people can still learn and do new things. When they are treated like they shouldn't be able to do or know new generation stuff, it's also ageist.
"A quick-witted 85-year-old",
"An agile 75-year-old",
"Feisty old lady",
"Wow! She's 78 and still takes online classes."
"This little old lady still parties like a college kid."
"He is 80 years young."
"Can you believe she's 60 years old?"
"60 is the new 30."
6. Assuming they're weak. Comments like the following, though said with good intentions, suggest they shouldn't be able to do certain things because they're supposed to be fragile. Not all older adults are weak. Some even maintain physical fitness up to a hundred. Saying something like this just reminds them of the imminent decline of their health.
"I'm so glad you're still up and around!"
"You're still agile! How's your health?"
"You shouldn't be doing that."
7. Lying in good faith. We are all aging and everyone is older than someone. It someone says they're not old when they are relatively older to others, instead of it being a compliment, it becomes a reminder of the stigmas that aging bring. Deceiving older people won't make them any younger.
"You could pass for much younger."
"Oh, you're not old."
8. Oversimplifying words. This is when we assume that all older people have problems with understanding so we tend to speak in very simple words, like teaching a child how to talk. At times, we also over explain things that don't need explaining. Remember that older people are not mentally slow.
According to Gerontology Society of America (GSA), we don't need to change our speech and vocabulary to communicate with older adults. "Older adults maintain their existing vocabulary or continue to improve it," wrote GSA. "They have no problem understanding complicated words that members of other groups, there is no need to simplify words to use."
9. Speaking slowly and in High Pitched tone. Not all older people have hearing problems so we don't need to shout at their ears when talking to them. Besides the fact that treating them like idiots is irritating to them,(and even to you) it is also disrespectful.
According to a study published in the Journal of Nonverbal Behavior, younger people talk differently to adults 65 years and above than they do to younger people (25 years and up). It was observed that they speak slowly and in high-pitched voice, two of the speech patterns related to patronizing. The research suggests that this type of speech implies incompetence in older adults.
10. Speaking to others about an older person's situation when he or she is in the same room. Aside from being plain rude, people assume that older people cannot understand their own situation and that another person (maybe younger) is required. Doctors and health care providers usually commit this mistake. If there is someone else accountable in the area, doctors pretend older adults are not there.
11. Jokes. Every time when a person is joking about older people, he or she is actually disguising emotions and thoughts, deliberately or subconsciously about the horrors of aging. As the saying goes "there's a grain of truth in every joke." Take these ageist jokes for instance.
"At four, success is not needing diapers. At 12, success is having friends. At 17, success is having a driver's license. At 20, success is having sex. At 35, success is having money. At 50, success is having money. At 60, success is having sex. At 70, success is having a driver's license. At 75, success is having friends. At 85, success is not needing diapers."
"Grandma is so wrinkled she needs a bookmark to find her mouth."
"My old Uncle Ed still whistles at girls but can't remember why."
12. Ageist advertisements. Ads usually use youth-centric language such as "youthful glow," or "young at heart." Even blatantly claiming to "stop aging" by using this product or availing of their services.
How can we fight ageism in this ageist world?
For baby boomers and above: When older people encounter subtle ageist comments, some would just let it slide. But it is always good to let others know when someone's being offended to cut the culture from proliferating and end the ageist cycle. The Old Women Project developed some proven effective responses that counter awkward ageist comments that are kind in intent but are offensive in nature.
1. Give it back to them. If someone says "I'm glad you're still up and around", cordially respond, "I'm glad you're still up and around too". If a younger people ask you "Let us know if you need anything," offer the same as well and say, "Let us know if you need anything too."
2. Flaunt your age when someone says you're young. Be cheerful and say, "I earned my wrinkles," or "I'm proud of my age," or "You know I'm old and I like it."
3. What do you mean? If you encounter some complement –slash-awkward ageist comment, you can always ask them with a straight face and genuine puzzlement, "What do you mean?" This way, you wouldn't be burdened to explain why the comment is ageist and offensive. It works all the time.
For people younger than baby boomers: Be sensitive towards older people. Know first if you need some adjustments (do they have problems hearing? Or speaking?), and not automatically generalize that they all have problems. This doesn't mean you should treat them like patients or someone with a disability but rather, if they are still capable, treat them as you would treat any other guy that can do normal stuff. Special treatments usually make capable older people feel incapable. And they don't want that. So don't call them "sweetie" in a high-pitched and slow manner like they're five. Address them by their names with respect instead.
However, as much as we want to avoid being ageists, there are instances when people should make adjustments when chatting with an older person with real communication difficulties. The American Speech and Hearing Association have some useful tips to ponder when talking to an older person with difficulties.
1. Be sure to lessen background noises as much as possible.
2. Ease into conversations gradually and avoid jumping too quickly from one topic to another.
3. Talk in relatively short sentences but avoid asking them like five-year-olds.
4. Give them enough time to respond.
5. Actively listen to their stories and requests.

text: Hi everyone in the Back Hat Community. I decided to get off the fence and join you guys! Why? well it seems after 2 years of rummaging around on the internet I keep coming back to the useful information on this site's community forum. It is certainly refreshing to get mostly honest opinions about products, scams and all sorts. I'm not new to the Internet though...I made a good living for a few months 15 years ago...That's a long painful story though. To be honest I had to walk away. (well lost heart you could say). Well due to health issues I find myself now trying to make an online income again. Of course things have moved on but selling principles are still selling principles. Lots of re hashed stuff I notice going round. Ok so why have I joined this forum? Well I have a problem! Like many newbies to this site I need to learn how to earn some money from the Internet. If you want a quick honest account of me here it is. I am 49 years of age had a heart attack at 45, last year I had a stroke and in march this year I had a second stroke but lucky the second one was a mini stroke. Guess what I do window cleaning and property maintenance for a part time living. Way to much ladder work for me now so looking for avenues on the internet. Lucky for me is that I know a bit about the Internet and thankfully I have been following your community advise on programmes that rip off newbies etc on the net. Well guys and gals that's my intro. I'm looking for opportunities that are current on how to get started again. I don't want a big income just a goal of £100 per week. I can build a website upload it etc, I can have plenty of time as works slow (self employed). I look forward to anyone in the community replying just to even say hi. I will look around on threads for ideas that might interest me. Many thanks.

A letter from our Preschool Director, Mrs. Sandy Tams
Dear Parents,
"Why? What? When? How?" are questions you have likely heard your children ask. Preschool is a place where young children learn to answer those questions as they play with other children and adults. Our curriculum is designed to capitalize on your child's natural curiosity and promote development by supplying a rich variety of experiences. Additionally, because preschool is perhaps the first time your child will be separated from you and familiar surroundings, we will help your child develop appropriate ways of relating to new friends and other adults, to share, and to develop self-control and responsibility in a safe, warm, loving, Christ-centered environment.
Our educational program is informal and flexible. We teach academics the way young children learn-through a hands-on, play-based curriculum. Because children are naturally creative, we offer ample opportunities to enhance their creativity through art, music, and play. Large muscles are developed through activities such as running, skipping, jumping, and creative movements. Fine motor skills and eye-hand coordination are built through finger plays, puzzles, manipulative toys and art activities. Sensory discrimination experiences are provided by comparing and contrasting colors, shapes, and sizes. Language development, number concepts, and reading readiness will also be explored. Your child's spiritual development will be enhanced through simple prayers, songs, Bible stories, art projects, and monthly "Chapel Time" provided by our community's Missouri Synod Lutheran pastors.
Field trips are offered to our 4 and 5-year-old classes, and a variety of community helpers come for educational visits as well to all of our classes. Twice monthly, teachers trained in the Kindermusik© method visit each classroom and build on your child's natural love of music with fun songs, instruments, and musical play. Once or twice each month, the children learn to cook by making their own snacks. And finally, our year is highlighted with annual child-led Christmas services and the 4 and 5-year-old graduation ceremonies.
Please feel free to drop by your child's classroom anytime! Thank you for allowing us to serve your child during this very special time in their lives.
God's richest blessings,
Mrs. Sandy Tams
Preschool Director

Sea Change Paperback
by Michael Arditti
'This is the story of how I became a man ...' In May 1939, the SS St.
Louis left Hamburg for Havana, carrying almost a thousand refugees from Hitler's Germany.
Over the following weeks, the ship criss-crossed the ocean, buffeted alternately by hope and disappointment, as it sought asylum in a friendly port and war drew inexorably closer.
Based on actual events, Michael Arditti's enthralling new novel is the memoir of one of the passengers, fifteen-year-old Karl, heir to a department store fortune.
He recounts both the horror and excitement of the trip, along with his personal voyage of discovery, as he learns the truth about his family, battles Nazi crew members and plans mutiny.
Most momentously, he describes his first, passionate love affair with the beautiful young Johanna. "A Sea Change" is a mesmerising journey through history.
A tale of dreams and betrayal, of courage and resilience, of romance and reconciliation, it unforgettably evokes an extraordinary summer in which a boy crosses the threshold from youth to maturity.

Review by presto
Based on an actual event, the sailing of the SS St Louis from Hamburg in 1939 with nearly a thousand Jewish refuges escaping Hitler's Germany, A Sea Change follows one families plight as told by fifteen year old Karl. Karl is the grandson and heir of a very wealthy prestigious Berlin department store owner. Along with his grandfather Karl sails with his mother (his father has been absent for eight years), his younger sister and an 'adopted' aunt as well as an 'adopted' older sister.Karl, now in his seventies, recalls the events of the voyage as he records if for the benefit of his own grandchildren. He describes the situation in Germany before their escape and then details the various happenings as they cross the Atlantic to Havana, the difficulties they encounter on arrival and the subsequent events. Along the way Karl learns much about his own family, has one or two run-ins with the few Nazis assigned to the crew, befriends the sympathetic ship's captain, and experiences his first real love in the form of the beautiful young Johanna.A sea change is a most engaging account at times moving and tragic, and with plenty of drama. Karl is a likeable boy verging on young manhood, prone to the errors of impetuous youth, he learns quickly and proves himself worthy. The writing is impeccable, the prose flows with such beauty and ease that it is a joy to read.

Believe it or not, the Chicago Bears are giving JaMarcus Russell a chance to be the club's next backup quarterback. With Jay Cutler's contract up after the 2013 season, Chicago has no long-term replacement in place, so Russell could easily have another opportunity in the NFL before the end of June.
Bears fans have a lot to get excited about this season, but if their star QB misses an extended amount of time again in 2013 then the club can bank on missing the playoffs for the third straight season.
Russell has dropped weight at a significantly high rate — after hitting rock bottom at 315 pounds, Russell is reportedly down to 295 pounds. Perhaps unfortunately, the unemployed quarterback got a ton of attention and cash while playing for the LSU Tigers. This early stardom caused a young Russell to be taken advantage of and not perform at his highest abilities.
The stat sheet for Russell is an eyesore — at age 27, the ex-Oakland Raiders QB has 18 touchdowns to his name and an embarrassing 23 career interceptions. Working with former NFL All-Pro Jeff Garcia, hopefully the free agent can help turn his once bright professional career around.
Keep in mind, the Baltimore Ravens have also shown interest in Russell, even though the organization has yet to reach out to Russell and ask for him to workout for the club. As long as the weight issue is no longer a problem than both of these teams have nothing to lose by taking a chance on a guy like Russell. Either way, the Bears are the current front-runners for a player who was the hottest of commodities in 2007.

Three staff from property developer Polytex Corporation Ltd., including two real estate agents and an accountant, said yesterday at the Court of Final Appeal that the company had sold a HK$7.9 million (US$1 million) home unit in Villa De Mer to Mak Im Tai, a co-defendant of the bribery case of former top prosecutor Ho Chio Meng, for a much cheaper price, due to Mak's "close" relationship with Polytex boss Or Wai Sheun.
As the trial of the case resumed yesterday, the three witnesses testified that Or Wai Sheun, the president of Polytec Asset Holdings Ltd –parent company of Polyex – had offered a 25 per cent discount for Mr. Mak to purchase a housing unit at the residential building located in Areia Preta on the Peninsula in 2009 due to their "close relationship".
The co-defendant then allegedly requested the contract and payments be made under the name of Mr. Ho's wife, Chao Siu Fu, which was accepted by the Polytec boss.
While the prosecutors accused the Polytec president of indirectly offering the discount to the former prosecutor in exchange for benefits, none of the three witnesses could provide any information on what benefits could have been offered to the businessman.
Long-term friends
According to the accountant surnamed Ip, the initial contract was to be signed by the co-defendant, who later requested to use the name of Ho's spouse for the document.
Since the discount offered was made via a "verbal agreement" and Polytec – which owned the majority of the Villa de Mer property in Areia Preta – is a Hong Kong-listed company, the witness said Mr. Or had requested that the contract be handled "with care".
The company thus issued in 2009 the receipt of a payment of nearly HK$2 million – which is the amount of discount that the company boss offered to the co-defendant. The receipt reads that Ms. Chao would make the payment in four installments.
Although the witnesses refused the accusations that the receipt was "fake," the three witnesses admitted they all knew no payment had been provided by Ms. Chao.
From his own pocket
The accountant added that Mr. Or had requested her to use his other company – Hongs Trading Ltd.- to pay the difference of the payment; she believes this money "comes from Mr. Or's own pocket".
When Presiding Judge Justice Sam Hou Fai questioned the accountant if the company's employees were aware that "these kind of procedures could have serious legal consequences", the witness said: "at the time they hadn't thought of it".
Questioned by Assistant prosecutor-general, Chan Tsz King, if similar discounts were common in the company, the three Polytex employees said that the situations would occur although they were rare.
The witnesses added they were unaware Ms. Chao was the wife of the former Prosecutor-general, saying that they knew Ms. Chao as a client.
No knowledge of the discount
The Prosecution also presented yesterday the mortgage contract for the property, on which Mr. Ho's signature was evident. But the former official claimed he and his wife had never visited the office of Polytex personally.
"I had no knowledge Mak Im Tai had been offered a discount for the property. There was no document stating that… My wife had no knowledge of the contract. I just used her name because of my public notoriety," the ex-official claimed.
Mr. Ho insisted that the property was bought for his father by the money provided by his family and managed by him.

For Country Music Publishers:
Songwriting News From Nashville
by Richard
V. Tuttell
following article contains songwriting tips from an experienced
songwriter who recounts
his professional experiences with the music business in Nashville,
music publishers in Nashville want hit songs. Yes, strong
album cuts are also welcome. But smartly written commercial
songs aimed at the heart of mass appeal are what gets country
music publishers really excited!
1.) Set your hook early and often
we all know, "hooking" is the key in commercial
songs. Hooking is the ability to grab the attention and interest
of a listener. According to Ralph Murphy at ASCAP, a song
should hook the listener within 60 seconds.
hooks are usually placed in a song's chorus, "hooklets"
can be sprinkled throughout the song in both the music and
Don't bore us / get to the chorus!
chorus is the most important part of a commercial song, so
get to it quickly. As hit songwriter Jerry Vandiver noted,
"Nobody walks down Second Avenue humming a verse."
choruses separate themselves by a change in melody or meter.
(This was one of the flaws pointed out in my song at an ASCAP
critique session – and which was confirmed in a TAXI
review. Jerry commented that if he hadn't had my lyric sheet
he wouldn't have been able to tell where the chorus started.)
Murphy said hit songs usually have five to seven repetitions
of the title, but he cautions not to overdo it. It takes
an average of 26 weeks on the charts for a song to reach the
number one spot, and you can burn out the title during that
publisher Michael Puryear noted that radio is very finicky
about needing a chorus. He also said the chorus needs to provide
a solution to the problem you isolated in the verse. For praise
and worship music, he says it's better to have a full chorus,
and to find a positive twist in the hook of the chorus.
Keep it simple
an ASCAP Sound Source session I was told by Jerry Vandiver
that my song was too complicated and to adhere to the acronym
KISS (keep it simple, songwriter). But at a Songwriters Guild
seminar with Chris DuBois (a songwriter and partner with Brad
Paisley and Frank Rogers in Sea Gayle Music), he advised against
too much simplicity. Contrary advice? Not really.
noted that my song seemed to be trying to tell two or three
different stories rather than sticking to just one. Chris
was referring to imagery, and noted, "You can't be too
descriptive in a song." He said the more unique
you can be the better, and that a song needs to have
an identity in and of itself.
says the best thing is to play it for somebody, and ask, "Did
you understand what was going on?"
Start yourself up!
need to be disciplined self-starters. Ralph Murphy said
a typical day is spent writing for three hours and then conducting
businesses such as pitching songs to publishers, promotion
and tending to financial aspects.
and patience were emphasized as important traits. (At an ASCAP
Sound Source critique session one writer was discouraged that
he had spent five years trying to get a cut. Jerry Vandiver
responded that it took one successful songwriter 15 years
to find success.)
Focus on the music first
on the music and songs is the best way to spend your time,
according to Chris DuBois. He said songwriters need time to
write and grow. They have to figure out how to get their songs
to the next level.
is a writer's town where you are judged by your song, not
how you look. Chris says he still writes every day. Good
writers have the gift of perception, which they are born with;
everything else is craft, which can be learned and developed.
is a very important part of the process. One of the best analogies
I heard all week was at a Nashville Songwriters Association
International (NSAI) pitch session with BMG publisher Michael
Puryear. He advised writers to take time to develop a good
idea. He compared songwriting to cooking where all the right
ingredients are there to make a dish but if you don't bake
it long enough, it won't taste as good as it could have.
Don't flash your cash
with money to self-promote do not necessarily have an advantage
when they approach publishing companies, according to Chris
DuBois. If the writer has a good song most companies will
be more than willing to pay an advance and pay for recording
the demo. "The real issue is the whether the music is
as good as it needs to be," said Chris.
added that it's also important to conduct yourself in a professional
manner, which may seem obvious, but too often is advice that
is lost on some artists. Some would-be stars over promote
themselves to the point that they become pests and publishers
are no longer willing to listen to anything they have to offer.
Give your song its best chance
Vandiver noted that homemade demos are okay for purposes of
pitching a song with a simple guitar/piano vocal. If the song
is accepted by a publisher a demo will usually be made to
pitch it to performers.
Puryear suggests hiring a professional singer for a demo because
using someone who has a "commanding voice" will
hold the listener's attention and put the song in its best
light. Michael also suggests skipping any special effects
(rain storm, engine racing noise) on demos. It can be distracting
and delay getting to the meat of the song.
Jerry also suggests skipping extended instrumentals in a demo.
He says a 20-second solo can seem two hours long. And he recommends keeping lyrics to one page, because more than that
makes the song look too long. (You don't have to print out
the chorus every time if the words stay the same.)
suggests leaving the copyright date off the lyric sheets so
a publisher doesn't think he's listening to an old song.
Choose the right topic
Vandiver noted that subject matter is important because you
have to persuade a singer to do your song. BMG publisher Michael
Puryear suggests that songwriters ask themselves "Who
would record this song?"
we live in a "me" society, he advises directing
songs to the listeners and engage them by saying "you."
the ASCAP critique session a demo was played on which the
female singer in the chorus sang that she wanted to do a duet
with a specific country singer, which limited the market for
the song. Ideally, a commercially viable song should relate
to as wide a range of people as possible.
my meeting with a BMI representative he questioned a reference
in one of my songs to "Dr. Wu," a name from a
Steely Dan song that would probably confuse many listeners.)
Murphy adds that humor and irony are needed now in country
standard used to judge potential hits is whether the subject
matter is appropriate for the coveted 7 a.m. drive time audience.
Supply what's in demand
far as country music publishing goes, most people I spoke
to in Nashville believe the contemporary pop movement has
stopped working. They
cite disappointing sales of new albums by big crossover country
Vandiver agrees there has been a "pop backlash,"
and that "organic, rootsy" music is coming to
the forefront. That shift may become evident in radio play
in the future. Country music publisher Ken Earls says "Something
deeply rooted in traditional will survive."
Find a writing partner
noted, collaborating (co-writing) is a big deal in Nashville.
At every songwriter's night I attended singer-songwriters
introduced their songs by crediting their songwriting collaborators.
Vandiver says a great co-writer can be a great editor. (Editing
was something that was noted as lacking on my song, which
I was told was about one verse too long.) A co-writer
allows you to get an objective perspective on song ideas and
can serve as a catalyst for developing new ideas.
conclusion, the important contributions made by songwriters
to the country music business was uniformly praised.
Murphy noted that without the songwriters there would be no
music industry.
Ken Earls noted that Nashville is a song-driven market, and
songwriters hold the key to change people's careers –
creating them, extending them and reviving them.

Have you ever wondered why do they only show a woman's privates in movies and not a man's? There must be some logic behind this practice, right? No matter how erotic or sensual a movie is, you would not get to see a man's privates, unless it has a different rating or is a porn movie.
Also Read: Raped? The Actual Pain Begins After That...
Here, in this article, we are about to share some of the reasons as to why this is practiced.
From the ratings changing to NC-17 where the audience is restricted to only adults, to the confidence of men playing the roles, there are various other factors because of which men do not show their privates in movies.
Also Read: This Man Gets Paid For Getting Laid!
If you are a woman you would definitely feel great after reading this piece. Check out the reasons...
Reason #1
Women's private areas are universally more appealing to people when compared to a man's that looks quite weird. There are only a few people who get turned on seeing a man's private part.
Reason #2
It is not only the straight sex that would get turned on with the very sight of seeing a vagina. Even gays and bisexuals find it to be quite amazing.
Reason #3
It caters to the needs of heterosexual males. Cars, explosions, action, thrill, breasts, female nudity, etc., are some of the things that most of the heterosexual men love to see and this is something that the makers cater to.
Reason #4
It attracts more ticket sales. Men are visual creatures and get easily attracted to naked women. So, it definitely attracts more ticket sales.
Reason #5
Showing nude men can make the movie rating change as NC-17, which backfires in profits, as teens are not allowed to watch these rating movies.
Reason #6
A female body is an art of work and can be shown in a more delicate and artistic way in movies. However, a male's body has very less limits.

Mumbai, Feb. 15: Even by the macabre standards of the genre, the latest confessions of a serial killer coming out of Mumbai offers an extraordinary cocktail of drugs, beer, blood and truth serum.
A 36-year-old man has confessed to stabbing 21 street-side sleepers to death and leaving behind empty Kingfisher beer cans as his signature, city police sources said today.
I am a psycho. I love to see blood, Ravindra Kantrole reportedly told questioners during his narco-analysis test in a Bangalore laboratory.
The police had found only seven bodies, all between October 2006 and January 2007, before they nabbed Kantrole on January 11 and charged him first with house-breaking and then with murder.
Now, the man who lived on alms from a mosque near Liberty Cinema, on the Marine Lines, has reportedly spilled out a story that will have Bollywood scriptwriters reaching for their pens.
A former henchman of mobster Ashwin Naik, Kantrole was thrown out of the gang because of his heavy drug addiction, the police said. He had been jailed in an attempt-to-murder case in the past.
Kantrole apparently battered his victims with sticks and stabbed them after they fell unconscious.
He is believed to have said he targeted the homeless in the hope that the police wouldnt care to investigate.
We are yet to get a copy of the narco tests. He has confessed to multiple murders but I cant confirm the number, deputy commissioner (zone I) Brajesh Singh said over the phone from Bangalore.
But other officers said Kantrole had owned up to killing 21 people over two years.
The police had quickly realised that a serial killer was on the loose because the seven bodies had shown up in a rather small stretch of south Mumbai and many had a beer can placed near them. The killer obviously wanted to attract attention to himself.
Patrolling was tightened around spots where the homeless slept. When Kantrole was detained on the Marine Lines, a bloodstained shirt was recovered from him.
Remanded till February 20, he was taken to Bangalore on Tuesday for a series of lie tests. Yesterdays narco-analysis provided clues to not only his crimes but also his troubled mind, police said.
Today, he was being subjected to brain-mapping tests to corroborate his confessions.

Balancing act for high school career-tech studies
The State Board of Regents on Monday grappled with how to offer more options for earning a high school diploma without pitting studies of the Stone Age against construction careers.
The board considered a proposal that would allow students to substitute a career and technical education test for the global studies Regents exam in order to graduate.
The global studies curriculum covers history, geography and civics from early civilization to Bill Clinton's presidency. The exam tests two years of material and has among the lowest passage rates among the five required tests.
Education Commissioner John King Jr. said the state isn't moving away from rigor but wants to encourage more options for graduation. He said the state wants to move away from a one-size-fits-all approach to graduation while encouraging school districts to invest in career-tech programs.
The Obama administration has beat the drum on improving career-technical programs as a way to boost the economy. On Monday, the federal Department of Education announced proposed reforms to funding for career-tech programs.
In New York, education leaders have struggled with how to get school districts to invest in career-tech programs in the face of tight budgets.
"The reality is that districts are making very discriminating decisions about how they spend any additional funding beyond what's mandated," said Charlene Jordan, assistant superintendent for educational services at Rockland BOCES.
Making career-tech programs an option for earning a Regents diploma is a way to underline the importance of the program.
"If districts don't believe that CTE can be a pathway to graduation, they see it as in competition with helping students reach the five requirements," King said.
In the discussion, the Regents generally supported enhancing career-tech programs and agreed that graduation requirements should be more flexible. But several Regents questioned compromising global studies.
Regent James Tallon Jr. said that more than 100 global studies teachers during the weekend wrote urging the board not to make the test optional.
"Not having a mandatory exam after two years would send almost a subliminal message that this is not an important class," said Amy Rosenthal, who teaches global studies at Tappan Zee High School in Orangeburg. "Taking that exam away as a mandatory exam is not recognizing ... how important an understanding of global history is for you to be successful in the 21st century."
King stressed that students still would be expected to take global studies as a graduation credit. The proposal eliminates passing the exam with a 65 or higher.
An obviously frustrated Chancellor Merryl Tisch argued that some compromise must be reached because the Regents have been debating graduation changes since October 2010.
"If we don't address what urban districts across this state have been asking us to do for the past five years, which is to help them invigorate CTE as a real pathway to graduation, I think that New York State will be diminished competitively in a global environment," Tisch said.
Putnam Northern Westchester BOCES Superintendent James Langlois said that the Regents proposal would encourage districts to expand access and offerings in career-tech studies.
The board decided to gather public input on the proposal.
Tisch said the department also will explore questions about the lower passage rate on the global studies exam, which tests two years of course work, and whether to modify the approach.

The chief of Chonghaejin Marine Co., operator of Sewol has been detained over allegations of accidental homicide by South Korean prosecutors. They claim Kim Han-sik knew the ferry was overloaded but did not do anything. The initial reports of investigators showed that Sewol had carried up to three times its safe capacity of cargo. Kim Han-sik apologised in a statement after his detention:
"I apologise to the victims and the families," he said.
Ferry Sewol sank on April 16 with 476 people on board. The initial number of survivours has been reduced from 174 to 172 because it was found two of the passengers were counted twice. The confirmed victims are 269, 35 are still considered missing.
The search efforts today are delayed due to bad weather. In the morning, the waves were measured to reach 2.1 m, while the wind was blowing at 12 to 13 meters per second. According to officials the search will resume later in the afternoon and divers are expected to re-enter the sunken Sewol three times when the currents are at their weakest. They will focus again on the front of deck 3 and deck 4, the main corridors and inside cabins. The divers expect to have additionally searched in 64 compartments and 47 public areas (shops and bathrooms) by Saturday. The search also will be expanded to the cargo area.
The submerged ferry has been surrounded by five layers of nets in order to prevent any bodies from sweeping away. Aircraft and vessels are scouring waters up to 80 km away from the accident site.

YANKEE seats are a relic from the 80`s and every touring scooter must have one! Thanks to the big seating space it's ideal for 2 people and also offers very soft padding for a very comfortable ride on long journeys. The raised passenger seat is aerodynamically shaped and therefore looks very interesting. The surface is stitched in black, available with proven foam core.
Stitched surface/ foam core/ with a lock

These 1/4″ aluminum plates have created a new set of problems, and made it difficult to know how the final image will print. But that's what makes this process so compelling and unpredictable, especially with the new hacked inkjet printer.

BHIM or Bharat Interface for Money is a digital payment app based on Unified Payment Interface. It was launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi at Digi Dhan Mela event in New Delhi yesterday. The app is aimed at promoting digital transactions and tackling various hurdles in India's way to become cashless economy.
This small sized app (only 2 MB) is currently available on android platform only but will soon be made available on iOS and other platforms. Although various digital payments are already available in the market, what really separates this app from others is its unique approach. It solves a very fundamental problem faced by small vendors in India. Several digital payment service providers like Mastercard and Visa charge fees on every transaction while initial set-up for availing such service costs Rs. 5-10k which has kept small vendors away from going digital. With the help of this app, they can receive payments without the need to pay any fees. Since the app is built over IMPS, transactions done through BHIM will only take few seconds to complete. People can transfer money to one another from as low as Re. 1 to as high as Rs. 20,000 in a day. However, a cap of Rs. 10,000 has been put on every single transaction.
You can download this revolutionary app here. Once downloaded, you need to register using your bank details. You can link only one bank account to the app. However, you can change the default account anytime you want. To complete registration, you need to set up UPI PIN after which your mobile number becomes your payment address.
BHIM has the potential to replace all mobile wallets. In case of mobile wallets like Paytm or MobiKwik you store a limited amount of money on the app, that can only be sent to someone who is using the same wallet. So if you have a Paytm account it won't be possible for you to send money to someone on MobiKwik.
However, BHIM is based on UPI, which is the Universal Payments Interface and thus linked directly to a bank account. Your friend, relative or even a merchant who you're trying to pay doesn't necessarily need to be on the BHIM app. All they need is a bank account to receive the payment. If they have UPI activated, you can just ask for their VPA or virtual payment address, and just make a payment to that account. The advantage is you don't need to remember your account number or share that with everyone. This VPA is all that is needed to transfer funds.
BHIM has the potential to transform the way people do transactions. Government is soon planning to link it with Aadhaar after which you will only need your thumb print to do online transactions.

This weekend has been jam-packed with covetable sneaker releases, but just in case you didn't have the opportunity to grab the Jordan Brazil Pack or the South Beach LeBron 11s, you can at least take solace in knowing you saved some money. But if you are looking to splurge on a new pair and treat yourself to some fresh kicks, we have you covered with our latest Weekend Sneaker Deals installment. Stick with us after the click to find 7 brand new deals and let us know which pair was your favorite in the comments section.
Nike LeBron 11 "Diffused Jade"
We might be seeing LeBron play in his last game of the season this weekend, so why not celebrate (so to speak) by bidding his eleventh season goodbye with a pair of his Nike LeBron 11 for $50 off from the original price point? This Diffused Jade pair definitely went under the radar with an ominous coat aided by the teal and red accents.
Nike Air Trainer 1 Low "Safari" – Laser Crimson
The Air Trainer 1 Lows are the perfect summer silhouette to lounge around in, especially when you add safari print into the mix. This black pair with laser crimson accents are perfect to light up the night and you can't go wrong with stocking up for only $80.
Jordan CP3.VII "Gamma Blue"
Everyone needs a pair to beat up while hooping on the blacktop this summer, and that's where this Jordan CP3.VII comes in. For a cool $78 (that's nearly $50 off the retail price) you can get a lowtop silhouette complete with podulon sole and flywire technology in an enticing Gamma Blue look that CP3 actually laced up on court this season.
Air Jordan 1 Low "Formidable Foes" – Hawks
The Air Jordan 1 Low is most popular in an all white iteration or at the very least one that sports the shade as its base, but what about taking a colorful approach? Last summer brought us the Formidable Foes pack which featured rivals like the Atlanta Hawks at the forefront. The lowtop was out shined by the "Human Highlight Reel" Retro High OGs, but for $63 they're a great pick up.
New Balance 998 – "National Parks"
Incase you're feeling extra Patriotic as we head closer to Independence Day, then you can celebrate with saving some cash on an American made sneaker in this New Balance 998 "National Parks". The release celebrated USA's majesty by outfitting the runner in a cool grey suede while royal blue and red hit in accents. The pair is discounted $40 and can be yours for only $120.
Reebok Blacktop Retaliate – Grey – Orange – Blue
Afraid that wearing the Swoosh while playing outdoors might be a little stereotypical? Reebok continues to drop great retro heat specifically made for outdoor use like this Reebok Blacktop Retaliate. Plenty of ventilation and a cool colorway that's sure to hide heavy wear thanks to a grey base makes for a great pair. Grab your size below for $30 off at right under $100.
adidas Crazy 1 "All-Star"
adidas celebrated the NBA All-Star game in confetti-printed fashion this past year as the league headed down to New Orleans. The adidas Crazy 1 retro was apart of the pack and featured a purple base while black paint splatter marked the sneaker. Add in a tribal print to the midsole in orange and green and it was a head turning choice. Save $35 today and get them for $85.

Episode Summary: The Royal Knights take Katsuharu, his friends and Tommy to a village called Beanstalk Village that has a giant beanstalk in the middle. Dynasmon demands the location of a key, but the kids don't know what he's talking about so he locks them up with the villagers, the Mamemon. The Mamemon Elder explains that Katsuharu and his friends had previously visited and the Mamemon shared their food with them despite not having much. As a gesture of their friendship, the kids planted the Mamemon's last bean for them and it grew into the giant beanstalk. The beanstalk prevents the Royal Knights from scanning the land and they need the key to getting rid of the beanstalk to get the data. They kidnapped the kids because they believe they know where it is. Meanwhile, Takuya and the others are warned not to go to Beanstalk Village by scared Trailmon, but they hitch a ride on Worm when he tries to take off without them. They find the tracks broken and start using tracks from behind Worm to fix them with Takuya's determination to save the Digital World renewing Worm's spirit. At the village, Tommy and the others get free but are attacked by the Royal Knights who kidnap the Elder and tie up Tommy. Crusadermon tries to scan Katsuharu's Fractal Code, but he is saved when the others arrive.

The Mamemon attack, allowing MagnaGarurumon to rescue Koichi, but Dynasmon and Crusadermon beat up EmperorGreymon and MagnaGarurumon. Before they can be killed, the Mamemon Elder reveals that the key is a golden bean pod at the top of the beanstalk. The Knights destroy it and with it gone, they are able to scan the entire area while the Mamemon, kids, Bokomon, Neemon and Patamon escape on Worm. Katsuharu offers to take the Mamemon back to the human world, but they refuse to go and reveal they have another bean to plant to create a new beanstalk. Katsuharu and his friends return home on Worm, but not before Katsuharu has Tommy shove him onto the Trailmon so they are even from when he shoved Tommy on to enter the Digital World.

I told everyone i was giving up on the Lions and I wouldn't waste my time anymore, but i did watch the game just for ***** and giggles and my friends were celebrating when we were up 17-3 and i just said "wait till the 4th quarter". And sure enough they blow the lead and give up 4 unanswered touchdowns. Nice comeback at the end, but everyone and their mothers knew, Detroit was not going to score on that last drive. Im still seeing a 4-12 season.
Check out Schwartz after the Desean Jackson catch that was exactly like the play last week.
^^^the shocker lol
BTW great game today, the Lions are on the rise though. The last time we played you guys it was a laugher, today it was a nail biter. Jahvid Best is a monster too, he owned this defense more than I've ever seen it owned, previously the only guy to beat us that bad was Felix Jones.
suh also got another sack which is nice. I just hope they actually get to win a few games. I love Patrick Peterson but I really don't want to have him frist over all again.
Sig by Fenikz

As far as I'm concerned, the most promising aspect of the past two weeks is that we've kept games close with our back-up QB. We may well have been 2-0 had Staff not been hurt, but I have so much optimism with the team on the whole moving forward. Some personal thoughts after week 2:
1. Oher would have been a better choice than Pettigrew, but it was hella good to see him have a break-out game. Having his confidence grow with games like that will do nothing but good things for us. Hopefully he keeps it up.
2. Jahvid was pure sex this week and if he stays healthy, he'll win OROY easily imo. The screen passing game by itself will now keep defenses honest. The only thing I will say is that he should not be in short yardage situations. If they want to line Suh up at FB, Felton should be behind him, not Best.
3. And speaking of Suh, he has not been getting the love he deserves as of yet. He's already dominating at the LOS. He's penetrating a ton and taking on double-teams regularly.
4. Our LB's are even worse than I thought they'd be. We need Levy back bad and it is def a place we need to upgrade in the offseason along with secondary and OT.
5. The offense HAS to start getting Megatron involved in the game earlier, and they have to take at least a couple of deep shots at him throughout the game, especially when we're on our own half of the field. Between Johnson grabbing balls at 20+ yds and Best running and grabbing screens, defenses will be stretched right out.
6. Schwartz is so the right man for this team right now. Love the guy.
If we do well next offseason (and Staff & Co. stay healthy), Lions will be the surprise team of the NFL next year...no doubt.[
Crazyass sig by BoneKrusher
completely agree.
a few points...
1) are we currently looking at potential DROY and OROY this year? shows a lot of success in what we did this year
2) this team is a competitive teama nd even with our back up QB we have proved to be anything but a push over team
3) this upcoming offseason is crucial but also very easy. Upgrade LT, CB, LB and we have a team capable of surprising tons of people.
Our dline is doing great things, our secondary and LB corp is awful. If we can upgrade at CB (peterson please) and LB along with finally getting a replacement at LT and this team has a very solid team.
I will say though that if i had a vote, we would be trading for mcniel right now and getting him at LT when staf gets back. Keep him standing up and have a very good oline with backus moving to RT.

St. Paul Urban Tennis Program
By Amy Doeun
Surena and Vunnisa
SPUT group of kids
With summer just around the corner, many parents are looking for activities to get their children involved in throughout the summer months. Kong Pheng Vu and Dara Yang started putting their daughters in tennis classes through St. Paul Urban Tennis Programs. Little did they know that their daughters would progress to a national championship, Kong told Hmong Times.
"The St. Paul Urban Tennis and the Minneapolis Read Sweat Family Tennis Center both have helped our kids to get started with tennis several years ago, and have made it affordable as well, otherwise, we won't be able to afford it. We took advantage of this opportunity, and it had benefited our kids in tennis skill development and social skill development. In regards to social skill development, the kids seem to be more responsible in managing their daily living, schedules, and balancing it with their sports activities. They understand that education is the number one priority in this society; so maintaining a good grade in school is mandatory. However, since continued education such as college is very expensive, they try their best to develop their sports skills so they can perform well to meet the college scholarship expectation, to help cover some of their college tuitions. Playing tennis or any other school sports is not just for fun. It's a learning process and a journey for the kids toward high school and then college. Once a kid has shown interest and commitment to do their best in what they like, the community will recognize them, and support them with equipment and financial [aid] to reach their goals. Last year our kids have received over $2,000.00 to support their tennis. This year Minneapolis Read Sweat Family Tennis Center and Wells Fargo Bank have contributed $1,000.00 for Vunnisa Vu toward her tennis training. We as their parents want to thank everyone for your interest, support, and contribution toward our kids' tennis and success. This summer there are a lot of affordable tennis programs out there for kids of all ages and level. It's never too difficult or too late to enroll your kids."
Surena and Vunnisa both excel at tennis they told Hmong Times.
Hmong Times-- When you first began tennis did you think that you would be progressing to a competitive level?
Surena Vu (13) --No, at the beginning when my parents introduced me to tennis with the SPUTS summer program, I didn't know what to expect from it other than just to go there each day to meet my friends and have fun. Competition didn't come to my attention and interest until a few years later when I was about 10 years old, I joined the U14 USTA team and won the regional tournament and advanced to the national in South Carolina in 2013. From that point on it's more about competition than it was for recreation. Our U12 SPUTS tennis team had won the Northern Regional tournament two years in a role, 2014 and 2015.
Vunnisa Vu (11)-- When I first played tennis I didn't expect anything beside just being with other kids, having fun, and following the coach's instruction around the tennis courts. Competition didn't come to my attention until I started to play the USTA tournaments and begin to train harder. I developed the tennis skills and knowledge quickly, and I was able to compete against other USTA players in my age group and higher. I got better fast and I started to win tournaments within the state, the regional, and national level. I have played once in the international level in Florida when I was about 10 years old, and it was very competitive. Now that I am older, bigger, and have more experience; we are planning to go back to Florida to play in the International Orange Bowl. This is a tournament for players that planned to become professional tennis players.
Hmong Times: Where do you hope tennis will take you?
Surena - I just want to play tennis for my Roseville High School varsity team and try to see if I can get a scholarship to play for the college that has my major.
Vunnisa - I am hoping that tennis will take me to national and international level so I can get a college scholarship, and then become a professional tennis player after I graduate from college. I am currently the top three players in this region, and the top 100 players in the US.
Hmong Times: How did the tennis league help you achieve your goals?
Surena - The tennis programs have helped me to achieve my goals by 1) making the registration and trainings affordable, 2) it teaches me to be responsible and focus on what I am doing, 3) it helps develop my skills and knowledge to achieve my goals.
Vunnisa - It helps me to reach my goals by teaching me to be responsible and commit to what I want to achieve. The tennis program figures out what I need, supports me, and guides me toward the right direction.
Hmong Times: Any advice you would like to share with other students?
Surena - Yes, everyone should give it a try although it's difficult in the beginning, eventually you will get it after awhile, then you will like it because there is no contact involve and it's very clean, and you get to wear a very nice uniform.
Vunnisa - Everyone should try it because it is fun and you get to travel around the country when you play tournaments. It is hard work, but it keeps you in shape and healthy. When you practice hard and win, you will receive medals and trophies to show it to everyone.
St. Paul Urban Tennis Program (SPUTS) - Director, Becky C. (612) 382-6060: Offering over 30 plus sites of tennis lessons during the summer for kids of all ages, levels, and incomes around the St. Paul areas.
