    How many Mcs in Hip-Hop will take a stand?

    In the wake of Don Imus's "nappy-headed hoes" fiasco, Hip-Hop music and culture has taken a beating in the media because of its so-called sexist and violent lyrics in the music and the misogynist images projected in the music videos. Being an honest, inexpensive and objective young man; a husband and someone anticipating the day that God blesses my wife and me with child, I have to concede that Hip-Hop should internally survey its so-called morals, values, ideas and integrity within the culture and the music which serves as its soundtrack.

    Of course, I believe that there's a lot of hypocrisy going on in the "debate" by the media, politicians, ministers, society activists, educators, parents and others. Hip-Hop seems to be an easy target; its critics tirelessly use Hip-Hop as a scapegoat for the ills of society. Many of these ills thrived or were developing before Hip-Hop culture as we know it even existed! I'm still waiting for someone to blame Hip-Hop for the horrible events that transpired on 9/11!

    Boys Growth Charts

    We, the Hip-Hop generation should do what often happens on the streets-"police ourselves" as Jay-Z rhymes on Dj Clue's "Gangsta Sh*t". Far after the media has moved on to the next "hot" story there should be continued argument among Mcs, artists, producers, writers, filmmakers, B-boys & B-girls, fans and others who live and embrace the culture about decency and indecency in Hip-Hop. We have the power to bring about turn and set the top thorough of what's real and what's fake (or at least what's demeaning and self-destructive).

    As I draft this writing piece, it suddenly occurred to me that I'm being hypocritical myself because on a quarterly basis I listen to Hip-Hop music and watch Hip-Hop music videos that crosses the line of indecency or gets damn near close. Hey, what can I say? The element of Hip-Hop music that some love to hate can be very "seductive", even somewhat hypnotic for others. But frankly, there are many of us who can naturally review and identify with the messages that pervade this "dark dirty and dangerous" element of Hip-Hop because it reflects the environment and experiences that many of us know all too well.

    Everyone has the right to say anyone they want to say. However, I do wish that more Mcs would grow and mature musically.

    With all that said, I commend devotee P for "taking a stand" and through his "Take a Stand" record label and other efforts, P is courageously challenging himself and his peers to "rethink" their images and perspectives, and to do more to uplift and outreach to those who hang off of every word they say. devotee P's decision to stop using profanity in his music and to eliminate explicit and obscene article in his music should be celebrated.

    In response to devotee P's decision to take a stand and make so-called distinct Hip-Hop music, free of offensive language and content, 50 Cent dissed P, basically saying that devotee P is a has-been, an artist who has seen his record sales drastically decline since his hey day in the late 90's and is naturally no longer relevant in Hip-Hop. devotee P later responded by writing an open letter to 50 Cent. This "beef" made headlines on or off the web.

    Now I'm going to be honest: There is an element of truth to 50 Cent's position. The music devotee P has released in new years has naturally not been of great quality and it shows in the drastic downfall on the charts and decline in record sales. If this was 1997 and not 2007, then devotee P's decision to take a stand and "clean up" his music would have much more relevance. Though 50 Cent didn't state it, his remarks implied that he feels that it's more probable that the stand devotee P has taken is driven more by an effort to originate publicity and accumulate relevance rather than due to a sincere desire to make a turn and therefore make a difference.

    I believe that devotee P's declaration to clean up his lyrics is sincere and newsworthy. Also, I see devotee P as more than a rapper, P is a well closed and respected businessman who basically changed the game as far as Hip-Hop and the music commerce in general. The accomplishments that he's made with ventures outside of music; like movies, television, real estate, telecommunications, etc. Are very impressive and inspirational. Go check out P's Wikipedia page. I know that the article is user-contributed but do your own explore on devotee P's imaginable resume:

    o First rapper to be worth over 100 million

    o First rapper to be worth over 300 million

    o First rapper to own 100% of his masters

    o First and only rapper/Ceo to receive 85% of profits in a major deal

    o First rapper to make Fortune magazine's 40 richest Americans under 40 in 1999

    Master P is not just your midpoint has-been rapper desperate to get some media attentiveness and love from the fans! devotee P's star does not shine as it did in the late 90's-early 2000's-now it shines brighter!

    Regardless of what you think of his music (or even his motives), devotee P is a leader. And he's taking a leadership role in the issue of integrity and decency in Hip-Hop music. The question is:

    How many other rappers and leading habitancy in Hip-Hop will step up and take a stand?

    Taking a stand doesn't mean censorship. It doesn't mean diluting the music so that it's fake. Mcs should be able to say what's on their hearts and what's in their minds and souls. The thing is I believe that most artists are not being true to themselves, instead, they make the kind of records that they, their crew, and more importantly, the powers-that-be, think will sell. Some rappers are flatly selling out so that their Cds will sell out. But what is happening is that so-called artists are compromising their art while their closed products collecting dust, stacked up on the shelves, untouched by uninterested music fans.

    As I said in an earlier column, Hip-Hop is not dead and can continue to thrive in spite of record sales. But the focus of this column is decency and artistic integrity in the music. I'm hoping more dialogue and operation is taken within the Hip-Hop society when it comes to these issues. I love Hip-Hop, but as I get older, my thoughts and actions have changed to reflect my growth and maturity in my personal life.

    There needs to be more vocal, responsible, focused and insightful leadership within Hip-Hop culture. I've often said that I wish legendary figures like Chuck D and Krs-One had a larger, further-reaching and extremely exposed platform in which to speak to and for the Hip-Hop community. I love T.I. And I can listen to his new album for an hour but I could sit down in a classroom or auditorium setting for days to not just listen, but discharge the insightful perspectives of those like Chuck D and Krs-One. Maybe their music is not as "relevant" as it once was (though that claim depends on who's listening) but for years Krs-One, Chuck D and others have raised the issues of artistic integrity, creativity, originality, political/social consciousness and decency in Hip-Hop music and culture.

    Master P's open letter to 50 Cent was as a matter of fact an open letter to all of Hip-Hop; it was an open letter to all of us who live and embrace the culture. Maturation and improvement in our personal and collective lives will ultimately contribute to the advancement of Hip-Hop music and culture throughout the world. This revolution, just like the birth of the culture that we call Hip-Hop, should start in the streets and not be compromised in state-of-the-art recording studios or in the corporate boardrooms of major (or independent) record labels.

    How many Mcs in Hip-Hop will take a stand?

    When you are trying to conceive a baby you're likely to be looking out for any new methods that seem to be working for other couples.

    There is a modern increase in couples trying a course of acupuncture to 'unblock the pathways' that sway fertility.

    While some trials appear to show good success rates, other experts claim that it is the 'positive thinking' of the patient that makes it work rather than the actual process of acupuncture.

    There are any herbs that are said to work on the fertility system, and increase your chances of conceiving a baby.

    While some of these herbs are perfectly harmless, it all the time pays to seek healing advice if you intending to ingest whatever unusual, especially when you are trying to get pregnant.

    Birth Chart

    The aged Chinese belief chart shows the months which you will get pregnant with a girl or boy, which convert depending on your age at the time of conception. This is one of the most controversial gender selection methods as there seems to be minuscule documented evidence that it works.

    Sometimes there is an air of difficulty about alternative therapies, but for some things like trying to conceive a baby, maybe more traditional methods are better.

    Corporate Baby Gift Ideas

    The birth of a baby is a momentous chance in the life of any person and calls for due celebration to make the family feel special, and to welcome the baby. This major event has been made a tool for fostering a bond in the middle of the employees and their company. Most of the corporate houses in present times are following the employee acknowledgement schedule that creates a sense of belonging and emotional bonding in the middle of the employees and the company. This custom creates a best work environment and a salutary employee relationship.

    The corporate baby gift can be given at the time of a baby shower or after the baby is born. There can be any gifts given to a family that has just had a baby. A baby gift basket can be put together that having a color scheme -- pink for a girl baby and blue for a boy baby. The parents can be given gift certificates of specified amounts as per the firm policy. The gift basket for a baby can contain a baby bedding set, baby blankets and cozies, toys that stimulate the sight and hearing and stuffed toys for comfort. The family can be presented with baby books and videos, clothing, bath accessories, night lights, rattles, picture albums and baby rockers. Baby strollers and baby carriers are also a good idea -- as are diapers, personalized baby clothes, embroidered beddings and growth charts. Silver or gold jewelry for the baby are also an exclusive but more costly baby gift. A baby crib can also be presented along with the swirling and illuminating toys as accessories. Of course the usual card and flowers are an selection as well.

    Boys Growth Charts

    It will depend entirely on the firm and the estimate of funds allocated for baby gifts that will resolve the type of gift to be presented.

    Investing in Real Estate Like a Stock

    A Real Estate Stock Plan

    Getting out of the bleachers and into the game!

    Boys Growth Charts

    This description is going to by comparison or attempt to give the stock market investors a basic one-on-one interview with a real estate portfolio manager who has consistently made a profit on 100% of the investment products that were actively chosen and managed. Never a loss, all the time tax advantaged and sheltered.

    This description will not consist of any high-tech, gobbly-gook, stock market charts, graphs, trends, investigator picks, projections, company reports or insider tips. In real estate, you personally have the power to make and originate all of those things yourself and I for the life of me could never trust other people's second hand opinions or publicly disseminated data to get the jump on the herd.

    Now if I were a company officer, or majority voting shareowner, or a paid agent of those individuals, I might think differently, for the uncomplicated fact that I am getting the jump and I can make some dinero if I know something the majority does not. Overall, population are told to build companies so they can sell it to the communal straight through offering pieces of their company to the communal in the form of stock. So I know from the very starting that the owners of companies are selling me a piece of paper which they say is worth a definite number of anything value a dollar is worth at that time.

    Let me see if I understand this. I change my hard-earned cash and I pay a fee and/or commission to do this, and you give me a fancy certificate and a promise that this represents a solid investment decision. No way!

    I've seen population lose their life savings counting on other people's paper promises. I am not comfortable sitting on the sidelines rooting for every person else to make money for me. Who are we kidding? I would be last in line and get paid after all of them. And just how are they getting paid? Well, I see it as this: They get me to buy more fancy certificate paper, backed by more promises, while at the same time encouraging me to hold onto the former certificates. All the while, the value in those is gradually liquidated to pay salaries and expenses of the inside corporate raiders of my blind faith and trust.

    Boy, am I a skeptic. Let me shift gears here and take all back I just said because often what I just said is dead wrong and two words will prove me wrong quite often. Those two words are "Blue Chips." Many companies do provide value, dividends and growth opportunities. Who am I to talk bad about the stock market? Don't get me wrong. It's an awesome convention and a complex and intricate financial function of the world's economy. every person feels the effects of this juggernaut and many population are afraid to upset the world powers by saying anything that will get the ire up of the kings of Wall Street, so they just clam up and slump into obscurity.

    To heck with that attitude! Take operate people. Actively manage your own hard assets and get off your *#!, and quit rooting for the other guys out there to make money for you. I'm not saying if you're 60, 70 or 80 years old, that I expect you to go out and start swinging hammers and saws. That's not necessary.

    Use your brain at any age to operate directly the events that are going to add to the bottom line. With real estate, you can use relatively uncomplicated math and your two eyes to see the whole picture. No charts, graphs, prospectuses, opinions or guesstimates. You invest less than ten miles from home in your own neighborhoods so you know all about market activity and current local economic conditions. You know prices and ask for your investment, as the local classified section of your newspaper is an instant photo of your markets fundamental outlook. Your competition advertises its position and you react immediately.

    I'll tell you this: I don't stay up late reading small print, trying to find all the loopholes in company reports and federally mandated quarterly and annual filing and disclosure documents. That is a total waste of my time because in the end, nobody makes any promises to anyone. You in the end invest at your own risk; that is made clear.

    Even when they catch the bad guys that use fraudulent accounting procedures and cook the books and shuffle assets and count them twice or commit some other white-collar crime, the fact remains that the money is gone and your out of luck.

    Well folks, I've never been out of luck and I never will because I decree what is a good deal. I buy my houses below market price, add value to them in a hundred different ways and capitalize on those assets in many different ways. It's hands-on, eyes and ears open, active, direct control. There's no guessing, no hoping, no cheering, voting or scanning for loopholes in incomprehensible legalese boilerplate.

    I circulate, plump and direct. I negotiate and use my own strategies and tactics. I rehab valuable hard assets and use them to originate income, build equity, way tax-free cash, security other earnings from taxation and lower my tax brackets. almost all in my real estate company is deductible, so my gains are my gains. I can defer paying gains with 1031 exchanges and a host of other legal and ethical, truly understood ways to fetch my hereafter profit picture. You don't need a license to do this, just a pulse.

    If you feel real estate investing is more difficult than stock market investing, I believe you are wrong. It's much safer to the average individual who doesn't have all kinds of crazy options, puts and calls, true insider tip-offs or hours and hours of time to hopefully understand more than the next guy in order to sell your stock to the next person for more than you paid for it. Unless you're accredited, you should be institutionalized.

    With real estate, if I buy my investment property with owner occupied, 10% down financing, I am using 90% loan-to-value leverage. I don't suggest you do that in the stock market. If you make a exiguous timing error, your investment vocation could be over.

    So to put it in normal terms, ,000 controls ,000 and ,000 controls 0,000. Now if I buy a house that costs 0,000 and I put ,000 down to operate it and the market appreciates 10% the first year, I get my ,000 back and keep the asset. It becomes a perpetual money machine and I don't have any of my own money at risk.

    There are conclusion costs but they are deductible as expenses. Here is other point. My rich Uncle Sam wants me to provide housing for his citizens to live in, so he let's me take depreciation on my investments to encourage me to rent them out to others. This explains a tax advantage in real estate that helps us coarse population who actively participate in the supervision of the investment who are not production over 0,000 a year in adjusted gross income.

    For example, if you pay 0,000 for a house, Uncle Sam says that this house will gradually disintegrate to dust in 27.5 years and for non-residential real property, 39 years. The land will all the time remain so they say 20% of the purchase price was land. So you only depreciate the house's value. In this case, that would be ,000 and ,000 divided by 27.5 years = 09.09 per year for 27.5 years. That advantage can get you in lower tax brackets by reducing your assessable earnings on other income, such as your quarterly job or other investments.

    Thus, you save today's dollars, and when you sell the house years later Uncle Sam recaptures that number but it is later on, after your investment has increased in value and the dollar hasn't. Believe me, it helps you a lot more than it ever hurts. A good C.P.A. Will use it to make you money now. Note: A 1031 tax deferred change can delay repayment of capital gains indefinitely.

    Here's how to play a decent game of real estate investment! Buy something at 20% below its market value. This is not hard to do. It may take you, as a new investor, 3-6 months to find it.

    You're learning curve will let you fetch under market value property at faster and faster rates from months to weeks to days. It takes practice. Use the book, Magic Bullets, to move fast.

    So you find a 0,000 property and you put down 20% (investor rate) as the down cost plus ,500 in conclusion costs. The bank loans you ,000 to buy it. If you're getting older, then pay person to clean it and paint it. Get the bank to reappraise it for its true value of 0,000 or more. Take out an equity line and get all your money back, tax-free. Now let the tenants pay it off for you while it goes up in value and throws off definite cash flow, and shelters itself from taxation. This is not hard to do - http://www.magicbullets.com will walk you straight through it.

    I personally believe the hardest thing to do is to hold on to the real estate investments that you do acquire. What population tend to do is get tired or itchy and they sell the goose. When you sell, you do get a lump sum of cash but now you have to go out and find more. This can become like a revolving door. You have to keep going in and out of the market buying and selling again and again. Sound familiar?

    If you just buy and don't sell your investments they will grow in value straight through inflation, appreciation and equity accrual/mortgage reduction. Eventually, you will own them free and clear, and with 4 or 5 houses throwing off ,000 or more each month, you will have almost ,000 a year in withdrawal income. I know my parents could live on that...how about you?

    Then as you get older, sell one, preferably the one you have spent two of the last five years in as your original residence. The think for this is because Uncle Sam says that you don't have to pay any capital gains on the sale of your original abode until you have exceeded 0,000 in sheltered gains.

    For example, lets say you just sell one home. You're in your early 60's and you have had the house for 25 years. Lets assume you paid 0,000 for it and it has appreciated at a moderate rate of 5% each year on average. For those 25 years, its gift value now would be 8,635.31. That is a capital gain of 8,635.31. You pay zero, nothing, in taxes on your profit, using your exemption up to a 0,000 lifetime cap for married couples or 0,000 for particular folks.

    The whole 8,635.31 is yours to do with anything you please. It is 25 years later, so your buying power as a supervene of 3% inflation has eroded your buying power but think about all the population who have no real estate to fall back on. Ouch! That's no way to live.

    No surprises here. You can actively manage your own properties for years and if you do it right and use my methods of acquiring tenants, you just might get lucky and get a lifetime tenant. I'm not going to let you say that it's impossible because I'm going to agree with you that it's probably not going to happen.

    Here's what the statistics say (no charts or graphs). population move on average every 5 years so you should reasonably expect to have at least 5 different sets of tenants.

    That's fine because every 5 years, you can update your properties appearance and raise the rent to match current market conditions. Long-term tenants all the time seem to keep you from achieving a true market rent if they stay for 10-15 years, and they do stay. I see it all the time and I still get market rent...you'll see!

    The figure that says population on average move every 5 years applies to you too. If you get itchy to move or sell, then do the following: Don't sell anything! Just use equity lines to fetch your next, nicer house and don't move further than 10 miles away from your investments. Even the pros blow it on this one.

    If you pay attention to what I just said, you should retire comfortably, with more money than the average person ever needs. You have a choice.

    I will use a true story to by comparison my point. My wife's uncle bought 2 ½ acres, in what his buddies from his telephone company job used to say was no man's land. He bought it for ,000 in 1972. He financed his 3 bed/2.5 bath/2 car garage, ranch style, block home building for an further ,000, for a total of ,000.

    Well, he sold that house in 2001 for 5,000. He paid no commission (I showed him how) and he paid no capital gains. That's a real life story of a 8,000 tax-free gain or profit on a ,000 investment. He did hold it for 29 years but he has no money worries and lives a life of ease and comfort.
    So my point: fetch a few houses and don't sell them. That is the Magic Bullet of this story!

    I'll admit to you that I've shorted the stock market a few times and never lost on stocks either, but there are way to many closed-door conversations that I'm not allowed to listen to. I have a feeling that there is a think for that. Can you guess what it is?

    I learn more, make more, have more, do more and help more by actively managing my investment from less than ten miles away. I know all the players and there are no closed doors.

    Child-Weight Guidelines

    Gone are the days when it was "adorable" to have fat children. With the rates of severe obesity in children having tripled over the last twenty-five years, it is not surprising that we have a need, more than ever, for acceptable weight guidelines for children. The concern about obesity in children has escalated because severe obesity in childhood increases the risks of children developing heart disease and diabetes. Additionally, obesity in childhood perpetuates the risks of developing weight-related diseases in later life as overweight children have a 70% risk of being overweight later in life. This risk increases to 80% if one or both parents are overweight.

    It is not only the overweight and obese children that we should be implicated about. Although children may be underweight or be at risk of being underweight at varied points during his (or her) growth, this may be determined normal if the child is growing, developing normally, has a wholesome diet, and is active and energetic. However, it is prominent to be aware that a child who is underweight may have an fundamental condition qoute that requires address. It may be a medical condition causing the child to be underweight or it may be an eating disorder.

    Boys Growth Charts

    How can you tell if your child is overweight, underweight or just right?

    One of the best methods is to visit your child's paediatrician. However, child-weight guidelines can also contribute a helpful recipe for parents to monitor the weights of their growing children.

    It is prominent to note that child-weight guidelines are not so relevant to children below two years of age where growth rates can fluctuate considerably. Many infants that appear "obese" and who are "off the weight charts" duringinfanthood often normalise their weights as they grow older. This is especially true for breastfed infants.

    What are the child-weight guidelines for separate ages and genders?

    There are two:

    1. Bmi-for-age growth charts
    2. Clinical growth charts

    In general, a child is determined underweight if his (or her) weight or Bmi falls under the 5th percentile. The child becomes at risk of being overweight if his (or her) weight or Bmi falls into the 85th-94th percentile. The child is overweight once his (or her) weight or Bmi lies in the 95th percentile or greater.

    1. Bmi-for-age growth charts

    Just as adults can presume their Bmi (body mass index) to resolve if they are overweight, underweight, normal or obese, the same can be determined for children. However, theBmi guidelines for adults do not apply to children whose body fatness fluctuates as they grow. The recipe for calculating Bmi in children is the same as that for adults, but the results are interpreted according to the children's Bmi growth charts.

    The Bmi Formula

    Bmi = weight(kg) / [height(m) x height(m)]

    You can resolve which percentile your child's Bmi falls under by utilising the charts for Bmi-for-age percentiles for children age 2 to 20 for boys and girls developed by the Cdc (Centers for Disease control and Prevention). Alternatively you can use a Bmi-percentile-for-age calculator for children.

    When calculating your child's Bmi, it is prominent to be aware that the limitations of Bmi for adults also apply to children. Because the Bmi doesn't directly quantum body fat, it is still potential for a child to be overweight without being obese. Children who are athletic and possess a high degree of muscle mass can appear to be overweight without being obese.

    2. Clinical Growth Charts

    These are commonly used by doctors and condition professionals when assessing a child's height and weight. Clinical growth charts help us resolve which percentile a child falls into according to a chart that is acceptable for age and gender.

    The Cdc has also developed weight-for-age growth charts for boys and girls.

    Although child-weight guidelines serve only as that - a guideline for determining if a child's weight is normal, overweight or underweight - they do assist parents in determining if their children potentially have a weight qoute and perhaps health-related risks or conditions. As with all guidelines, they are intended for use as a guide and it is recommended that you secure a pro medical appraisal if you presume that your child may have weight-related problems.

    Newborn Baby Gift Ideas Are Personal and extra

    If you want a creative and practical way to welcome a new baby into the world, then look at newborn baby gift baskets. It is a nice gesture to new parents and shows them how much you care about their new microscopic blessing. Many times the items in the basket will save the parents money, too.

    Knowing the Baby's Sex

    Boys Growth Charts

    While you don't have to know if the baby is going to be a boy or a girl, it does help. Then you can buy items that are gender acceptable and more specific. A baby girl basket can be filled with pink blankets, nightgowns, teddy bears, dresses, etc. The same can be done for a baby boy, but instead you're choosing greens and blues from the color scheme. If you don't know the baby's sex, pick yellow or green.

    Make the Basket More Personal

    One of the best things about putting together newborn baby gift baskets are being able to personalize it. Even if you were putting together some at once, these baskets can be customized to fit the family and their needs and likes. This means adding an engraved gift like a photo frame, baby cup, blanket, or jewelry. The baby's name can be embroidered on inescapable items. Gift certificates can be given for further items, which some families like because then they can adopt items that are needed the most.

    Fill Newborn Baby Gift Baskets With Anything

    There are so many items that can be placed in newborn baby gift baskets. A person can select each item specifically or buy a pre-filled basket with a specific theme. When choosing the items in the basket yourself, first adopt the right size basket. It can be especially decorated with diaper pins, rattles, trimming, pacifiers, or anyone you desire. A bigger basket can be filled with a huge bag of wipes and disposable diapers.

    Create Memories

    Another selection is to focus on creating cherished memories and keepsakes. A elaborate basket can be showcasing a growth chart, baby book, and keepsake boxes to help the parents hold onto a lock of hair or the baby's first tooth. Others items that can be placed inside the basket are a footprint or handprint kit or engraved photo frames.

    Themed Baskets

    A person can put together a basket that is filled with fun baby foods. There can be jars of first stage baby food, baby spoons, rice cereal, further bibs, one-piece shirts, and bigger socks. These are staple items that every tired parent appreciates. It's nice to give gifts that are valuable and needed.

    At the same time, the basket can be themed toward the bathroom and can be filled with towels, baby bath toys, washcloths and, of course, a yellow rubber ducky. This makes bath time more special. Other toys can be added to the package. If you want, you can select newborn baby gift baskets that are wholly made from toys. adopt items you know the baby and the family are going to love and appreciate.

    career Advices for Your Midlife emergency

    No matter how skilled and savvy you are in your career, no matter how keen and cutting edge your work now is, it will someday happen: You will roll out of bed, wonder what you're doing with your life, and think about production a change.

    Few things are as determined as middle-aged angst, that dreaded feeling that somehow life has passed you by or you've naturally missed it somehow.

    Boys Growth Charts

    You examine your choices, bemoan your current circumstances, and agonize over the future. You start thinking about hair plugs and working out more. You have a sudden urge to trade in the old car for a racy new model or the old wife for a racy new supermodel.

    But more often than not, your agonizing centers around your job. You've always hated it, or you once loved it but there's no challenge anymore. You've plateaued, you're bored, you hate the boss or the wunderkind who just zipped by you on the organizational chart. You want to dump that vice presidency to run a bar in Mazatlan. After all, life is short and getting shorter by the day, and you perceive you are closer to the end of your career than the beginning.

    Here's where some of the career advisers out there go a itsybitsy hay-wire, pushing population into radical career shifts, urging them to find their "bliss." I remember watching as the leader of a group career advice session, sponsored by a aid that shall go unnamed, cajoled one attendee-a man who seemed quite happy working as a owner for a computer retailing enterprise and who, in fact, seemed justifiably proud of the coveted promotion he had just earned-to scrap it all because she saw his face light up when he talked about playing the guitar as a kid. Whoa, Nelly. For all she knew, the guy may have been a lousy guitarist. And not every fanciful dream of youth is worth pursuing, despite the malarkey pushed by Tv movies of the week. For a thirtyish guy with a family, the hint was, in my mind, outrageous.

    The idea of a radical career shift holds a marvelous appeal to those in the throes of a middle-aged crisis, and authentically these seismic shifts do work for some. But let's face it: You've spent your whole life building up skills and expertise; that's your career currency, and it's usually far more significant in the business you're already in.

    Now, I recognize that some gung-ho Boy Scouts out there are shaking their heads, determined they won't fall prey to this dire condition. They're too enthusiastic, and their work is too vital. If they even smell some angst in the neighborhood, they'll just pop someone else motivational tape into their Walkman and keep on truckin'. Fine. They can skip this article. For the other 99 percent of us, here are some tales from the midst of the morass to help shake us from our doldrums and get us keen again.

    For twenty-seven years, Richard Dahlberg toiled for Massachusetts Financial Services. Then, when the enterprise wouldn't assign him more staff so that he could aggressively push for increase in the mutual funds he managed, he decided he needed a change of scenery.

    But what to do after residing so long at one address? Mr. Dahlberg decided to stay within his sphere of knowledge, the financial services industry. After seeing at posts in two banks and a mutual fund, Mr. Dahlberg got an offer to be chief speculation officer in the equity asset management group at Salomon Bros. It wasn't a sure bet. Equity management had always been a poor stepchild at Salomon, representing at that time just billion of the firm's billion under management. Mr. Dahlberg wondered how committed Salomon would be to the relatively new business. He also worried about the fact that Salomon was just arrival off a run of trading scandals and financial setbacks. And at fifty-five years of age, he would be giving up a derive position where he had been quite successful. In the previous ten years, he had built Massachusetts Financial's balanced fund assets to .5 billion from 5 million. "I could have stayed where I was for someone else ten years and enjoyed the annuity," he says.

    Don Crosbie, by contrast, naturally walked away from his job as chief financial officer of Dallas-based InterVoice, because he needed a rest after ten intense years of helping to build the telecommunications start-up. "I did some consulting, some sailing, tried to shape out what I wanted to do with my life," he says.

    He spent a year flirting with investing in some fellowships and going on a few job interviews before he decided to form Com Vest Partners, an speculation study boutique. The idle time didn't worry him, he insists. He has an explorer's mentality, requiring new and exhilarating experiences. "You don't always know where you're going to end up," he says. "There's always some uncertainty, but in my mind, if you have the confidence, a door will open for you."

    In difference with Mr. Dahlberg, he believes that trying to forge a new career while immersed in the old one usually doesn't work. "You end up getting trapped," he says.

    While Mr. Crosbie would appear to have made a radical break, closer scrutiny reveals that his new job trades on his well-developed financial diagnosis skills. "It wasn't as if I were going to be an astronaut," he says.

    Many midlifers, fearful that opportunities will dwindle with age, grab the first job that seems to offer change. Take your time and "evaluate a amount of situations," Mr. Dahlberg advises. "You have to find the right fit for you."

    If you want a more dramatic change, you have to do something drastic.

    After sixteen years in the building materials business, Hoyt Gier was uneasy. The senior sales menagerial was paid well, enjoyed his job, and figured he had a inexpensive shot at the Ceo post. But, "I went to work for a Canadian firm, which was bought by Belgians, which was bought by Germans," he says. "I didn't want to wake up at fifty with person in Brussels or Heidelberg or Seattle deciding our unit made no sense; that petrified me."

    But he wondered how marketable he would be. "I worked for dissimilar companies, but to person exterior the industry, it would look as if I'd been doing the same thing my whole career," he explains. So, at age forty, he quit his six-figure job in Seattle and schlepped his wife and three young children to Hanover, New Hampshire, and Dart-mouth's Amos Tuck School of enterprise for an Mba. It cost him about 0,000 in tuition and lost income, which he paid for by selling his Redmond, Washington, home. The move puzzled his bosses, he says. Even his parents questioned his judgment.

    In industries such as speculation banking and consulting, the Mba is roughly a required entry card for those with management ambitions -especially for those arrival from wholly dissimilar backgrounds. As Mr. Gier notes, "You naturally can't get from where I started to where I am going without arrival straight through here." Or someplace like it. He adds: "To break into something wholly different, you have to do something to catch someone's attention."

    Is an Mba a panacea for middle-aged managers foundering in a sea of uncertainty? Is this the way for them to overcome the reluctance of fellowships to invest in managers with gray hair who command six-figure incomes?

    Of course not.

    Some lack the inclination to return to an intense school program at such an advanced age. In some industries, also, the degree would provide only a marginal benefit. Before production such a precipitous and costly leap, study the backgrounds of the population who are successful in your enterprise or business of choice. Are they Mba holders? What gaps exist in the middle of their experiences and skills and yours, and are there simpler and less costly ways to fill those gaps?

    Still, for managers seeking a midcourse correction, Mbas mean exposure to a wider range of possibilities and a widely accepted credential. With high examine for Mba holders, fellowships start recruiting early. In his second week of classes, Mr. Gier recalls presentations by Ford, Microsoft, Dell, and Morgan Stanley. He soon discovered the world of secret client services.

    It was just the kind of relationship-driven enterprise he wanted. Following a summer internship with Goldman, Sachs, he accepted the firm's offer of full-time employment after graduation. He couldn't be happier about it. "Tuck exposed me to many enterprise possibilities new to me or previously concept to be out of reach," he says. "The enterprise world looks a lot bigger to me now than it did just a couple of years ago."

    Throughout his transition, Mr. Gier's age wasn't as much of an issue as he feared. Interviewers never mentioned it directly, choosing instead to ask how he would feel working with or reporting to a twenty-seven-year-old. "My response was, 'If I didn't think I could run with these population in the workforce, I wouldn't have come here,'" Mr. Gier says.

    Still, he acknowledges that his path isn't for everybody. The tough, contentious environment of the school-he worked late most nights on group projects-is exhausting. And if you can't land in one of the great schools, he advises, forget it. "An Mba from a top school opens doors other Mbas do not," he says.

    Further, he says, don't go if you're satisfied with your job, your career path, your company's prospects, and your opportunities to progress and find keen assignments. Don't go if you're convinced other companies, inside your business and out, will gladly pay for your skills and experience. Finally, he says, don't go if you don't have the total maintain of your spouse. This kind of change isn't for the risk averse.

    New Decor For a New School Year - 5 uncomplicated Ways to Decorate Your Child's Room in Style

    Children over the country are gearing up to go back to school in a few weeks. It is a time of excitement and turn as children of all ages purchase new school supplies and new clothing to start the year off right. The transition to a new school year is also a great time to reconsider production changes to your child's room decor that will allow them to express their maturing personality and style.

    Consider these five simple ways to perform a new look for your child's room decor without beginning over or spending a fortune.

    Boys Growth Charts

    1. Start with a theme or color. You probably already have a theme in place for your child's room and it may be that this theme is still perfectly acceptable for their age. If so, you may want to reconsider adding a few complimentary pieces to improve the existing decor. However, if they are ready for a unblemished turn in theme or color, try to select something flexible. For instance, rather than choosing Toy Story 3 as a theme, why not select outer space so that your son will still enjoy it long after the newness of Buzz Lightyear has faded. Similarly for your daughter, you might select a music or dance theme, rather than focusing on Hannah Montana. When choosing a color, reconsider a more neutral selection or compromise on one brightly colored accent wall. While neon pink or army green might look great in the store, reconsider how it would look on your walls and whether the color will limit your decor choices.

    2. Make changes to your wall decor. Choices for wall decor are almost limitless and there are many options that aren't even considered. Wall decor can be as simple as a framed art piece or as detailed as a pre-pasted mural that covers most or all of a bedroom wall. Hanging wall letters are another great way to add style to a room. The biggest advantage to wall letters is that they will carry over into any theme and can be customized to match your existing decor. Peel and stick decals are also very easy to use, affordable and many can be personalized. When your child is ready for a change, they take off well without damaging your walls.

    3. Add accent pieces to your existing decor. You may want to tie in different colors than you used previously with the same theme. One idea to reconsider would be customized hand-painted drawer knobs. These knobs add fun and color to your child's dresser. another idea would be to turn the lighting in the room by adding a unique lamp. From trains and planes to polka dots and pompoms, lamps come in a collection of designs and themes.

    4. Organize their belongings with new storage options. Adding storage baskets, bookcases and shelves is a great way to let children partake in organizing the contents of their rooms. storage baskets are available in very primary designs like stripes and solids as well as funky geometric patterns and fascinating colors. Bookcases can be much more than just three simple shelves. Why not reconsider a revolving bookcase with a theme like butterflies or firefighters? Shelves can also add storage and free up floor space. Solid color shelves are flexible and always in vogue in design. Patterned or themed shelves can dress up a solid colored wall.

    5. Make memories last with a personalized increase chart. You may have been charting your child's increase on the kitchen wall, but unfortunately you can not have that sentimental piece of the wall with you forever. So for a more permanent solution, reconsider purchasing a increase chart for your child's room. There are numerous increase chart products available together with primary paintings, stretched canvas art, and peel and stick decals. Most can be personalized and some can even be customized to your color specifications. Many even roll up for easy storage. Imagine what a extra keepsake you will have to document their increase and hopefully pass on to them one day.

    So, reconsider celebrating the excitement of a new school year with a new look for your child's room. If possible, let your child help select their new decor. Children of all ages will delight in the opening to help make their space more personal.

    The Moon's succeed on Natural Childbirth

    Did you know that some maternity units undoubtedly have more staff available during periods of full moon?

    I've always been fascinated by the moon's supervene on nature, so when a friend's wife conveyed to me what her midwife had told her during the birth of their daughter, I decided to find out more about childbirth, full moon and a potential link.

    Boys Growth Charts

    On speaking to varied healing staff complicated in natural childbirth, the first thing I learned was that expectant mothers often taste false signs of labor during full moon.

    Contractions known as "Braxton Hicks" -- sometimes noticeable to the mother and sometimes not -- become more pronounced and many voyage to the maternity unit in the belief that "it's time". Disappointed -- or possibly relieved -- they return home, the pains having subsided and with no dilation of the cervix.

    While these expectant mothers visiting the clinic with their mistaken signs of labor are part of the calculate why extra staff are needed, the major dissimilarity is found in the amount of women whose amniotic sac -- the water -- breaks.

    Just as some women taste false labor pains, in cases where the water breaking marks the start of childbirth, full moon is the time when it's most likely to happen.

    In order to gawk for myself whether this could be true, I asked any female friends how their births had started. Those who responded with "the water breaking" were then asked the date of the birth. On checking this against a moon phase chart, I discovered that approximately all had given birth on, or very close to, a full moon.

    The ideas is that the moon's gravitational pull effects the amniotic fluid in much the same way as it effects the water in the sea, rivers and even the water that's otherwise found in our bodies.

    As a woman's body prepares for natural childbirth, the amniotic sac becomes distended so the point where it will undoubtedly burst if put under pressure. Under normal circumstances, the pressure of labor contractions bursts the sac. during a full moon, the pressure caused by the moon's supervene on the water inside the sac can cause the same things to happen, but without the with contractions.

    When this happens, natural childbirth doesn't always move send and with no other signs of labor present, the obstetrician may rule to induce the birth. during my own study of this phenomenon I found that of 8 women whose births started with the water breaking at full moon, 5 of them had no with contractions.

    A coincidence? Perhaps. But undoubtedly midwives wouldn't get ready themselves for an growth in natural childbirth operation if there wasn't some truth in this?

    One midwife told me that when it comes to planning childbirth, full moons should always be looked for nearby the time of the unbelievable delivery. If there's one within a few days whether side, the chances are your baby will be born on that day.

    Sexual Abuse - Covert (Subtle) Forms

    "Traditionally, incest was defined as "sexual intercourse between two persons too closely linked to marry legally--sex between siblings, first cousins, the seduction by fathers of their daughters." This dysfunctional blood relationship, however, does not fully relate what children are experiencing. To fully understand all sexual abuse, we need to look beyond the blood bond and contain the emotional bond between the victim and his or her perpetrator. Thus, a new definition has emerged. The new definition now relies less on the blood bond between the victim and the perpetrator and more on the experience of the child." E. Sue Blume, underground Survivors.

    "Incest is both sexual abuse and an abuse of power. It is violence that does not require force. Another is using the victim, treating them in a way that they do not want or in a way that is not acceptable by a person with whom a separate association is required. It is abuse because it does not take into consideration the needs or wishes of the child; rather, it meets the needs of the other person at the child's expense. If the experience has sexual meaning for Another person, in lieu of a nurturing purpose for the benefit of the child, it is abuse. If it is unwanted or inappropriate for her age or the relationship, it is abuse. Incest [sexual abuse] can occur through words, sounds, or even exposure of the child to sights or acts that are sexual but do not involve her. If she is forced to see what she does not want to see, for instance, by an exhibitionist, it is abuse. If a child is forced into an experience that is sexual in article or overtone that is abuse. As long as the child is induced into sexual operation with person who is in a position of greater power, whether that power is derived through the perpetrator's age, size, status, or relationship, the act is abusive. A child who cannot refuse, or who believes she or he cannot refuse, is a child who has been violated." (E. Sue Blume, underground Survivors).

    Boys Growth Charts

    Adhering to the definition of Sexual Child Abuse (see above), sexual abuse can be as subtle and insidious as:

    o allowing the child to see pornographic pictures or movies or including the child with him/her as if the adult and child are peers

    o a father rubbing cold water on his daughter's chest--ostensibly to make her breasts grow

    o a parent insisting a daughter do clear exercises to make her breast grow or grow bigger

    o development jokes about a girl's flat chest--i.e. Two fried eggs, etc.

    o giving a girl a T-shirt with two fried eggs in the strategic area of her breasts

    o pulling a child's bathing suit lowest down--the perpetrator commonly laughs--causing humiliation

    o a game of swimming pool tag--the person who gets 'tagged' gets his/her bathing suit pulled down, invariably a child is the only one who gets tagged and laughed at

    o a man hugging a child while pressing his hard penis against her

    o a man giving a child a 'wet' kiss on the lips

    o a house member putting his tongue on a child's lips or into her mouth--ostensibly the 'family/friend' kiss--the child doesn't like this type kiss, but has no recourse since the child believes this is a house practice

    o anyone, who has sexual intent invading a child's privacy, such as entering the bathroom or bedroom without knocking, catching her unaware and indisposed

    o whatever 'playfully' pulling his/her swimsuit lowest down or pulling her panties down without implied permission or permission

    o bathing a child when the child is old adequate to bathe him/herself

    o any person touching or caressing the child in ways that are sexual

    o a man holding a child on his lap while he has an erection

    o a person who stares (ogles) at or makes intriguing sexual comments about the child's body

    o whatever kissing the child in a way that is sexual for the giver

    o seemingly innocuous touching, wrestling, tickling or playing, which has sexual overtones or meaning for the other person

    o touching a boy's penis with sexual overtone or meaning, while changing his diaper or bathing/drying him

    o smacking or hitting a boy's penis if he has an erection--generally done to boys age 2 to 5

    o playing 'red light/green light' - If I touched you here (the person touches an erogenous area) would you say "Red light or Green Light? No matter the riposte the person has transgressed a boundary and the child has experienced in-appropriate touch and therefore has been abused

    o any adult asking/instructing a child to touch him/her in his/her erogenous or genital area

    o copping a feel in the child's erogenous or genital area

    o a man touching/patting a child's leg with sexual intent or meaning while driving

    o a man with sexual intent or meaning while seemingly unintentionally touching a child's chest/or breast

    Women know how unnerving and icky it feels when a person ogles, touches, cops a feel or makes in-appropriate or unwanted sexual comments. Can you fantasize how a child feels? While the child doesn't know the intent or ramifications, the child feels the person's sexual power and doesn't know what is transpiring, therefore a copped feel, ogling or sexual comments are more profound for a child than an adult.

    While you might think these examples are far reaching--let me assure you each one has been told to me by a person who suffers the aftereffects of sexual child abuse. These aftereffects were consistent with others who had the same experience and same aftereffects. Furthermore, these covert (subtle) forms were seldom the extent of the sexual abuse. These covert forms of sexual abuse are commonly grooming the child to have penetration.

    Covert sexual abuse is more insidious than blatant sexual abuse. Thus, identifying it is more difficult because the sexual nature of the operation is disguised. The sex offender acts as if she/he is doing something non-sexual, when in fact she/he is being sexual. The betrayal then becomes two-fold. The child is not only abused, but also tricked or deceived about the act. In this dishonesty, the child is unable to recognize or illustrate his/her perception of the experience. The unreal or surreal sense that accompanies any sexual abuse is intensified when the child is tricked into disbelief. Thus, the child doubts his/her perceptions and feelings and believes that there is something wrong with him/herself because he/she feels terrible.

    To make matters worse, those colse to the child act as if nothing is wrong or there is collusion. For example: Uncle Lewie pulls his 3-year-old niece's bathing suit lowest down and everyone laughs. Or a game of tag is played and the person who gets 'tagged' gets his/her bathing suit pulled down, invariably the child is the only one who gets tagged and laughed at. The child feels humiliated or shamed as everyone laughs at his/her expense. Thus, the child feels inadequate or crazy that he/she feels bad, as if she/he is the one with the problem.

    Child Obesity

    More often all the time there are mounting stories and segments on the news concerning child obesity and the risks that follow. verily with media news ratings affect the intensity of the content and some even use scare tactics to insure the audience share, however that being said there are some basic facts concerning child obesity.

    Convenience foods, fast foods, junk foods, and the fact that they are facilely available all couple to make it more and more likely every day that the individual will consume more fat than critical and that the obesity rate will continue to rise. In developed countries today, there is small likely hood of starvation issues due to the proliferation and the lower costs of available foods.

    Also, there is verily no question that community today leads a much more sedentary lifestyle than ever before... Especially the children. In the facts age today, with the internet, computer, and television options, a child's corporeal action level has dropped dramatically over previous generations. There are still only 24 hours in a day and with technology related devices now garnering more and more of a child's time and attention, chances are this time is being robbed from the corporeal action bank.

    Comparatively speaking, children as a whole today are heavier than they have ever been. And it's no wonder inspecting the steep rise in the consumption of foods that are high in sugars, fats, and calories... While at the same time exciting less fiber, fruits, and vegetables.... This is a one way path to child obesity.

    Because children are engaged in their increase cycle, obesity is measured using separate criteria than that of adults. A child's metabolic rate differ from child to child and most kids at some point while their life go through rapid increase spurts. Because of this the Bmi (Body Mass Index)alone is not necessarily an exact measurement and is ordinarily combined with the age and gender to create a more exact diagnosis.

    For instance, an adult with a Bmi of 30 or greater would be carefully to be borderline obese; whereas Cdc (Centers for Disease Control) would plot the child as obese at the 95th percentile. Although the two may be roughly equivalent, with children it becomes critical to refer to other charts and matrix in order to get a more exact breakdown of the numbers.

    Percentage of one's body fat is other vital measurement in the obesity equation even though matrix differs between girls and boys. As an example a body fat estimate of 25% of the total body weight with young males would put them in the obese category while the same for young females would be 32% of body fat.

    The contrast in the numbers is plainly because females plainly carry a higher percent of body fat throughout their lives than males do. A salutary adult male checks in at about 15% while the same salutary female would be looking at about 27%.

    Just as with adults, for children struggling with obesity the path to reducing excess body fat is a two pronged arrival of practice and a healthier diet. In fact, you can roll these two tactics into one simple approach... Lifestyle change. In fact, the sooner the good because changing less established poor condition habits are much easier to change than those that have become firmly entrenched over the years.

    To avoid obesity in your child, the absolute best talk is to start them on the road of salutary eating habits and corporeal action right from the beginning because maintaining a path is a whole lot easier than changing one.
