Older People Share Priceless Advice For Younger Generations 

Older generations have decades of experience to share with younger generations. Millennials can spend years slowly gaining the experience — and making the same mistakes — on their own, or they can draw on the wisdom of those who've already been down the same road. While they have unique insights of their own, it's up to today's young adults to listen to those life lessons. Here are 25 practical tips seniors would like to pass on to younger folks.

Old People Share Their Happiest Moments and Best Advice. How has life changed over the last century? We visited the homes of the people who lived through it all and asked them what we can learn.

When our grandparents were growing up, they were hit by their teachers and their parents. When they left school, normally at 16, they were mostly conscripted into "national service"—the UK's mandatory or voluntary government service. Only a small proportion of people had ever been abroad or would ever go to college. Many people got married in their early 20s and only ever slept with one partner for the whole of their life.

Building Your Own Private Beach | Custom Private Pool

Building Your Own Private Beach | Custom Private Pool with sandy beaches 

A Spanish company called Piscinas de Arena NaturSand builds sand pools — custom pools with sandy beaches — and if you already have a pool, it can convert it into a beach. The company claims that it can "provide an environment similar to that of a piece of natural beach."

Sounds amazing, right? A quick look at its Facebook page provides all the inspiration you need for your own backyard pool with a twist.

The company's sand pools are made of special concrete mixed with sand, which is reinforced to make it strong enough for the pool. More perks: the sand doesn't get hot, and you can get a customized pool built to suit your plot and dimensions. In some cases, weather-permitting, a sand pool can be built in only 30 days.

Seems like a great way to beat the heat this summer!

Piscinas de Arena NaturSand is based in Spain, but it provides construction or renovation of pools all over the world. The company has built more than 800 sand pools in over 14 different countries, including the US, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Colombia, Brazil, United Arab Emirates, and Morocco.

Your sand pool can have various depths and lighting styles, and it doesn't require a ladder. That's because the entrance of the pool is at ground level on a soft ramp — just like the entrance to the ocean at a beach. In terms of maintenance, the company's website says it's pretty much the same as a regular pool.

You have to get in touch with the company via their website to get a quote, and it's probably reasonable to assume a sand pool doesn't come cheap. But this is one investment that you can enjoy regardless of what's going on elsewhere in the world, right?

Ten Creative Ways to Recycle Scrabble Tiles

Ten imaginative examples of repurposing that show why Scrabble is among the best board games of all time.

Scrabble, the board game loved by word enthusiasts around the world, not only provides hours of entertainment, but also the raw material for some cool arts and crafts projects.

Whether it’s the Scrabble tiles or the game board, there are many ways in which a Scrabble set can be reused other than to draft a ransom note. We’ve picked 10 of the best.

10) Scrabble coasters

Image: Aric McKeown

If you have a whole bunch of old Scrabble tiles, why not glue them together and turn them into coasters? Apparently, they’re selling like hot cakes in stores already. We love the picture caption on Flickr relating to the photograph above: “You only need three things in life: money, Girl Scout cookies and Scrabble coasters.” Yup, that sounds about right.

9) Scrabble cuff links

Image: PipingHotPapers

Check out these stylish cuff links. The tiles are a perfect and discreet fashion statement that goes with even the most conservative of business suits. And they can, if desired, even carry the wearer’s initials on his sleeve, or a world map recycled from an old history book, as seen in the image above.

For more playful managers, there’s always the gnome option seen above.

8) Scrabble tile pendant

Image: AForestFrolic

From cuff links, it’s only a small step to pendants. Yes, though almost too pretty to cover up, Scrabble tiles make a great background for pendants. The small wood base is just the perfect size and, covered with any pattern or material, makes for a great pendant.

Above are a whole variety of them — and you can’t miss the creative use of the Scrabble board as a stand!

7) Scrabble clock

If you don’t want to miss your next Scrabble tournament, keep track of the time with this Scrabble board clock. Just use an old Scrabble board, turn some of the tiles into numbers, from one to 12, and add the hands. Done! Your mind will be on Scrabble all the time, guaranteed.

6) Scrabble earrings

A pair of Scrabble earrings could spell out the wearer’s initials or simply be a resounding statement for the Scrabble-conscious.

As shown in the photograph above, they can make a really nice personalized gift.

5) Scrabble bookmarks

These bookmarks made of recycled Scrabble tiles will surely inspire you to read more, and not losing track of the page you left always helps. The secret of the tile’s glass-like appearance? Flickr user and bookmark creator Kate admits: “It’s Diamond Glaze.”

4) Scrabble tile wine charms

Around the world and over the years, Scrabble tiles have varied greatly in size and color. These transparent red ones make for a charming wine evening without guests losing sight of their glasses. Very practical.

3) Scrabble art

Image: Clare Graham, used with permission

Canadian artist Clare Graham uses hundreds, if not thousands, of Scrabble tiles and assembles them into sculptures that look like Scrabble skyscrapers. Though the letters are strung together randomly, who knows, there may be a hidden message in all the gibberish.

The fact that reusing old materials can result in beautiful artworks definitely comes out loud and clear.

2) Scrabble keyboard

Image: Richard Nagy, used with permission

Sick and tired of the old plastic QWERTY keyboard? Why not personalize it with Scrabble tiles? The wooden letters not only give any computer keyboard a classy look, but also a vintage one.

Image: Richard Nagy, used with permission

Remember way back in the ’60s when the first computers came to life? Maybe keyboards looked like this one in those days.

1) Scrabble portrait

Image: Nathan Jongewaard

Our favorite is Frankenscrabble, a portrait of Frankenstein’s monster recreated in Scrabble tiles. It’s amazing what depth only a few shades of brown can give an image. And, surprisingly, the letters do not distract from the subject, but add to the charm of the artwork. Very ingenious! This particular piece was on display at the Lucky JuJu Pinball Gallery in Alameda, CA, in October 2009.

Bonus entry: Scrabble fridge magnets

Image: Elissa

This idea is almost too simple to be true: Scrabble fridge magnets! Just glue a magnet to each Scrabble tile and get some really cool fridge magnet letters that provide a myriad of opportunities to spell out your mood or simply leave a message for a housemate. Brilliant!
As these examples have shown, there is really no limit when getting creative with a game of Scrabble — and we don’t mean by inventing words. If you reuse the tiles or the board, Scrabble makes for a great pastime, even on the arts and crafts front!

Blue City of Jodhpur founded in 1459, ubiquitous blueness of Jodhpur

Travellers journeying through the desolate landscape of the unforgiving Thar desert in the Indian state of Rajasthan would know when they had reached their destination. The sky would fall to the ground and everything would become a single color – blue. Jodhpur would lie before them, opening up like a blue treasure in the desert.

Why the population of the fortress city – the Blue City as it is universally known – took to painting their houses in various shades of blue is not completely certain. Yet most believe it is to do with the prevailing caste system in India.

It is thought that Brahmins – members of the priestly class – first took to coloring their houses blue (yet perhaps it should really be called indigo) to signify their domicile and to set them apart from the rest of the population. Soon, however, the rest of the population followed suit. History does not tell us which brave non-Brahmin was the first to do it, yet it happened and since that day the people of Jodhpur have steadfastly maintained this tradition.

Ask a local why all the houses are painted thus and the usual reply is that the color keeps the interiors cool and fends of mosquitoes. Yet if this truly worked then it would be quite likely that the whole subcontinent would be awash in various hues of indigo.

More likely is symbolism. Although an unscientific response, what answer would most give when asked the color of water? It is likely that the ubiquitous blueness of Jodhpur is an exuberant display of human resilience against the stark Thar desert which surrounds the town. Against the bleak backdrop of parched brown earth the blue city exerts itself magnificently.

You might think that closer inspection would lessen the impact of the color, yet a look at many of Jodhpur’s streets immediately puts that idea to rest. The word unremitting springs immediately to mind.

The modern trappings of life go side by side with evidence that many people still live as simply as they have always done. Although Jodhpur was only founded in 1459, the state of Rajasthan is significant in Indian history as it formed the bedrock of the Indus Valley Civilization, thought to be one of the most ancient human civilizations on the planet.

Perhaps the color has a calming effect but humans and animals seem to coexist peacefully side by side in Jodhpur. Even with the animals, inter-species friendships are not unheard of.

Squatting above the city like a giant bird mourning its broken blue eggs is the mighty Mehrangarh Fort the foundations of which were built in 1459, the year in which the English knight John Fastolf died – to be immortalised much later by Shakespeare as Falstaff.

The fort was ordered by Rao Jodha the ruler of Rathore who had decided to move his capital there. One legend has it that in order for the fort to be built the only human resident, a hermit, had to be forcibly evicted.

He cursed Jodha with the words May your citadel ever suffer a scarcity of water! Although the ruler did eventually appease the hermit by building him a temple the city is still hit by drought every four years or so.

A much darker legend is that of Rajiya Bhambi. Jodha promised that his family would be looked after eternally if he did one thing for him. The request was that he would be buried alive in the foundations of the fort. Rajiya agreed. To this day his descendants still live in a blue house on the land they were gifted by the ruler which is known as Rajiya’s garden.

The color of Jodhpur tells the history – and makes it legend - of a populace who shaped a paradise in the heart of the heat and sandstorms of Rajasthan.
