Educating Children And Occupying Them June 16, 2012 No Comments

Teaching languages through media is probably one of the most effective methods that people can learn languages. Through media such as DVD’s, CD’s and television people can visually and audibly see and hear the language that they are trying to learn. It is much more effective than traditional methods such as books where the person has to rely solely on reading and writing. Learning languages through media gives the learner the opportunity to actually hear how the words are pronounced so it will make them better speakers overall.

Lifestyles of the Rock Musicians June 15, 2012 No Comments

My life as a Glam Rock music fan in the 70s Long before Lady Gaga there was David Bowie & T. Rex. I grew up in Dundee, a city on the east coast of Scotland, some 60 miles north of Edinburgh. There are many places in the world where ‘looking different’ an glam rock fashions can attract negative attention and at that time, Dundee was such a place. Street gangs were common and well-organized, each having its own ‘uniform’ consisting of a colored jersey, Sta-Prest trousers and Doc Marten boots (a continuation of the skin-head fashion of the 60s). The Lochee Fleet wore blue and red, the Shams wore black and red, the Kirkton Huns blue and white, and so on. Consequently, street violence was rife, combined with high unemployment and an abundance of hard drugs. I was relatively sheltered from all of this, growing up in a stereotypically middle-class family, living in what would have been considered a ‘posh’ part of town, attending a ‘posh’ school, the Dundee High, a semi-private, Presbyterian establishment who preached unhealthy, elitist attitudes towards the outside world and glam rock fashions.
