Inspire yourself to make a change or re-ignite your drive to push your business forward.
We all reach a point in our careers when we need to step back and take stock of where we are, where we've been and what's next.
One of my favorite bosses once gave me some questions to routinely ask myself, and over the years, I have added a few questions of my own to the list. Now every six months, I step back from the day-to-day of the rat race and ponder the following five things:
1. Am I learning?
Are you gaining new skills at your job and finding new ways to improve the work you are doing? Is there training at your company or are there outside classes that your job will cover to make you a better employee? Or do you feel like you have topped out at your job and now want to move on to the next challenge? Currently, I am learning something new every day, but that wasn't always the case. My goal has always been to truly master a few things before looking to move on, and I encourage everyone to dig into that mindset.
2. Am I growing?
Is there a clear path to get to the next level at your company? Can you manage more employees or take on a different leadership role? Is there another department within the company you could transfer to where you can progress? I have worked places where the next jump seemed years away or where I didn't want my boss's job at all. If that's the case, you may need to find the next level-up elsewhere.
3. Am I respected?
This is a big one that we don't often ask ourselves but should every day. How are you perceived within your organization? Do people listen to you and care about your opinion? Are you on a different page than those around you? Often if you start your career at a company, they may always see you as "the kid" even years after you started. Do they recognize what you bring to the table? Never settle for feeling degraded or under-appreciated.
4. Am I doing my best?
We can all occasionally lose our drive and passion for what we do. This does not have to be a long-term issue. Maybe you are burned out and need a vacation. Maybe you could use a new project, either at your job — volunteer to help with a pitch — or take on a new personal project outside the workplace. Some people need to challenge themselves physically to get their groove back mentally. Training for a 5K can give you a whole new lease on life.
5. Am I happy?
This question may seem like a cop-out but it is key. I have had what I thought was the "dream job" only to feel miserable and out of place every day. Somehow, I muddled through but once I stepped back, I realized how very unhappy I was and how much worse it was becoming. Life is too short to spend at a job that doesn't make you feel alive. We can't be in the best place all the time, but the more and more you feel you aren't the right fit, make sure you know there is a world beyond this one gig.
Whenever you ask yourself these questions, the answer will likely never be "yes" to all five. That's fine. But if you answer "no" to three or more, I think it's time to make a bigger evaluation and decide if you need to go in a different direction. The beauty of these questions, to me, is that they force you to be honest with yourself, and once you do that, you open yourself up to new opportunities and chances to find true happiness.

Libraries in the 21st Century
The Eureka Theater presents a National Evening of Science on Screen®, featuring Obselidia (2010). A Sundance Film Festival award winner, the film follows a nostalgic librarian cataloging obsolete occupations. While traveling to Death Valley, he partners with a silent film projectionist to meet an eccentric scientist predicting the end of the world.
But do all librarians live in the past? Preceding the film, a panel of local librarians will discuss their experiences in the world of information science, and how libraries have helped information become more accessible in the digital age.
Tickets $5.
Doors open 6:30 | Panel discussion 7:00 | movie 8:00
Science on Screen® is an initiative of the Coolidge Corner Theatre, with major support from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.

Then, you will study the proper method of holding the guitar, the healthy posture you have to maintain while you play, and the various ways you can pick the guitar according to what the song requires.
You will study warmup exercises that will help you play for long sessions without feeling physical exhaust in the muscles you use and boost the pace of your play. You will be taught how to effectively memorize songs and recall which chords you need to play. You will master the perfect chord changing techniques, and instead of twisting and turning your fingers only to miss a chord, you will maintain perfect musical momentum.
And the list of the skills you will acquire is virtually infinite. From learning how to slide and use various techniques that turn a normalsong into a perfect piece of art thatcatalyzes every soul and wins the attention of the Lord to learning how to command the music to speak of your inner feelings, through the lessons of Play Worship Guitar, you will become a master guitar artist.

Rapidly increasing levels of radiation are an unavoidable part of today's modern environment. As a result, radiation related diseases are on the rise. Carbon 60 is the most powerful antioxidant yet known and it is an effective method you can use to protect yourself from radiation. C60 is safe and has no toxicity or negative side effects, unlike other radiation treatments. C60 also has many additional health benefits that can contribute to overall wellness.
Sources and Types of Radiation
There are two main types of radiation, ionizing and non-ionizing radiation. Understanding the nature and sources of these forms of radiation can help protect you against their health-damaging effects.
EMFs and 5G Radiation
EMFs or Electromagnetic Frequencies from electrical power lines, cell phones, cell towers, WiFi, Bluetooth, and other electrical devices is like a form of pollution that exposes us to radiation every day. This type of radiation is called non-ionizing. It damages cells by resonating with and selectively heating DNA, proteins and other complex molecules to break them down. This heat oxidizes the molecules and produces compounds which act as oxidative radicals. This radiation threat will increase as more and more 5G networks are introduced that emit even higher frequency EMFs.
Nuclear Disasters
Ionizing radiation, like the radioactivity from nuclear disasters such as Fukushima and Chernobyl, takes centuries to go away. The clean-up from such a disaster is nearly impossible and more nuclear disasters are inevitable. Radioactive particles cause much more damage than EMFs. Uranium, Plutonium, Iodine 131, Cesium 137 & 134 and Strontium 90 are examples of common radioactive elements. The main danger of these radioactive elements is they can easily enter the food chain and become a part of your body. For example, radioactive elements from Fukushima have been found in fish off the coast of California. Other types of ionizing radiation are Gamma rays, X rays, and UV light.
Protect Yourself from Radiation with Carbon 60
Although ionizing and non-ionizing radiation is quite different, they damage the cells through a similar process. Both types of radiation produce oxidative radicals, which then causes a chain of oxidative molecular damage inside of cells. Over 20,000 scientific studies exist on the health-damaging effects of non-ionizing radiation. Common negative health consequences include:
- Cancer
- DNA damage
- Cardiomyopathy
- Nose bleeds
- Fatigue
- Reproductive damage
- DNA failure
- Damaged sperm
- Cataracts
- Headaches
- Dementia
- Memory loss
- Flu-like Symptoms
- Brain fog
C60 Neutralizes Damaging Effects of Radiation
C60 as one of the most powerful antioxidants known can neutralize the oxidative radicals produced by radiation.R One of the reasons C60 is such a powerful antioxidant, is it can neutralize oxidative radicals and then reset itself many times a second. Most antioxidants bind to oxidative radicals and cease to function. In some cases, they can be reactivated by complex body chemistry which takes energy and time. A person taking C60 can easily have 1017 (That is 100,000,000,000,000,000) molecules of C60 inside of them! This huge number of molecules ensures C60 goes everywhere and creates a high surface area to quickly neutralize oxidative radicals in the body.
In Summary
C60 is a highly effective preventive measure in dealing with radiation and other sources of oxidative damage. Damage from radiation is cumulative, especially that done to DNA. Low levels of radiation over long periods of time is the main threat to health. By preventing the oxidative damage radiation causes is the most effective strategy to protect your health.
In scientific studies, C60 not only doubled the lifespan of test animals but completely prevented the occurrence of cancers and cognitive decline.R
In scientific studies, C60 not only doubled the lifespan of test animals but completely prevented the occurrence of cancers and cognitive decline.

Do you have the cutest pooch in Salisbury? Well if you do, this may well interest you…..
As we're quickly rolling into 2019 we always like to start our year off at Atlas Photography by getting creative in the studio and making some new gorgeous artwork for our promotional work. This year we have some amazing ideas we've been dreaming up for some super creative and funky dog photography.
This means we need some willing dog models to help us create these pieces so we're putting a casting call out for a few fancy pooches to head down to our studio for between 30 – 45 minutes to allow us to photograph them. In return for your time, you'll receive 3 fully edited digital images that we use from the photoshoot for our promotional work as a thank you.
It really is a great way to get some amazing professional images of your pooch whilst helping us create some gorgeous new artwork.
The shoot will take place at our studio in Churchfields, Salisbury on the evenings of the 30th and 31st of January. All of the pooches and their parents that we ask to come along will be given an hour slot for your shoot.
If you are interested, please reply to our Facebook post with a current image of your dog.
Puppies are also more than welcome although you may not get them back!!

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 29:46 — 54.5MB)
Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Android | Email | Google Podcasts | Stitcher | TuneIn | Spotify | RSS | More
So true confession: I fell off the wagon over the past month in terms of my goal of posting a new podcast weekly… I mean every other week… I mean… You get the picture. I get super busy with client work and that comes first, then sleep, then the podcast. (No doubt my priorities are messed up, but we'll ignore that for the moment).
In any case, I've decided to take a risk and post a podcast and podcast notes which I have not obsessively quality checked 1000 times (so uncomfortable, but I guess it's the uncomfortable things we do in life and times that help us grow, at least that's what I keep telling myself). Don't get me wrong. My guest is really awesome in this podcast. His interviewer (me), well, less awesome, at least on timeliness of podcast posts.
So here's some immediate gratification for you – check out this "about me" link on my latest guest, GaganBir Palta, agile coach, business guy and cognitive psychology aficionado. I knew that GaganBir was an interesting guy, but I didn't realize HOW interesting until he brought up applications of cognitive psychology to agile. That topic naturally broadened into a fascinating discussion about his book, his website, and the transformation model that he created and uses successfully with clients. Enjoy!

Roth assets may be used for loan purposes
If you have designated Roth assets invested through the Plan, you may now include these assets when taking a Plan loan. The Board amended the Plan document to increase the amount available to participants desiring a Plan loan. Under the prior rules, Roth assets were included for certain calculations but funds could only be taken from pre-tax balances.
You can find more information about Plan loans in the Loan Highlights (PDF) or by contacting the HELPLINE at 1-800-422-8463.

Smooth Jazz Redux IV
August 16, 2010 at 7:39 pm Leave a comment
This is yet another one of my tunes written in the late '70's. It is called "Two for One". The idea is the same as my prior "Smooth Jazz Redux" posts — to update one of my older numbers with a new quartet arrangement and recording.
Instrumentation and details are the same as well…I played the guitar and bass parts and programmed the drums and keyboards.
Here are the links to listen:

USS Frank Cable Upgrades Medical Department
The submarine tender USS Frank Cable (AS 40) upgraded its medical department's patient care medical records system from a local-only paper medical record system to the Theater Medical Information Program (TMIP) system, March 11.
TMIP allows Frank Cable's medical department to communicate their crew member's medical encounters to the DOD's electronic medical record system called AHLTA, the current electronic medical record storage system that communicates with all military treatment facilities worldwide and is an information source for the Veteran Administration's medical system.
This is a first in that Guam operational platforms can now share medical encounters with Naval Hospital Guam and all other military medical facilities, thus providing better care for all military members.
"The software tracks patient encounters more efficiently than other systems. This system makes it possible to track your progress fleet-wide," said Hospital Corpsman 3rd Class Sharron Tate, Frank Cable's petty officer in charge of training for the TMIP system.
Using TMIP can also act as a safeguard if something happens to a patient's medical record.
"Even if your paper medical record is lost, this system will retain the data about all previous visits," said Tate. "This will streamline medical treatment and make treatment information more accessible to other military providers."
Patients are not the only ones reaping the benefits of having this program installed on Frank Cable.
"Our staff will greatly benefit from utilizing the TMIP program by allowing us to use the same program that other military hospitals and operational units are currently using," said Tate. "We all can communicate on the same system allowing for maximum treatment services for all of our armed forces."
Frank Cable also recently established a link into AHLTA as an actual clinic, with assistance from Naval Hospital Guam. This capability is used while in port. The next planned phase of bringing the electronic medical record systems to the waterfront, now that Frank Cable was able to demonstrate operational success, will be to establish both AHLTA and TMIP clinics for all associated platforms with medical assets.
Frank Cable, forward-deployed to the island of Guam, conducts maintenance and support of submarines and surface vessels deployed in the U.S. 7th Fleet area of responsibility.

LG Introduces Allergy-Friendly Washer/Dryer
Just in time for allergy season, LG Electronics has introduced a washer/dryer combination that removes up to 95 percent of allergens. The product, called the LG SteamWasher and Dryer Combo with Allergiene Cycle, has a compact design that is meant to fit in closets.
The company had previously released appliances that had been certified as asthma-and-allergy friendly, but the new product is LG's first such product that is both a washer and dryer. The initiative, LG says, is meant to cater to the 70 percent of households affected by asthma or allergies in the U.S.
"Our new Allergiene steam combo extends this industry-first benefit to more consumers who need to reduce allergens in their washable fabrics in order to be better prepared this allergy season," the vice president of marketing for LG's U.S. appliances group, John Weinstock, said in a statement.

Poltava (Ukrainian and Russian: ???????; Polish: Po?tawa) is a city in central Ukraine. It is the administrative center of the Poltava Oblast (province), as well as the administrative center of the surrounding Poltavskyi Raion (district) within the oblast. The city itself is also designated as its own separate raion within the oblast. The current estimated population is 313,400 (as of 2004).
It is still unknown when the city was founded. Baltavar Kubrat's grave was found in its vicinity, and its name derives from the title he, his predecessors and his successors bore. Though the town was not attested before 1174, municipal authorities chose to celebrate the town's 1100th anniversary in 1999, for reasons unknown. The settlement is indeed an old one, as archeologists unearthed a Paleolithic dwelling as well as Scythian remains within the city limits.
The present name of the city is traditionally connected to the settlement Ltava which is mentioned in the Hypatian Chronicle in 1174. The region belonged to the Grand Duchy of Lithuania from the 14th century. The Polish administration took over in 1569. In 1648 Poltava was captured by the Ruthenian-Polish magnate Jeremi Wi?niowiecki (1612-51). Poltava was the base of a distinguished regiment of the Ukrainian Cossacks. In 1667 the town passed to the Russian Empire.
In the Battle of Poltava on June 27, 1709 (Old Style), or 8 July (New Style), tsar Peter the Great, commanding 45,000 troops, defeated at Poltava a Swedish army of 29,000 troops led by Field Marshal Carl Gustaf Rehnski?ld (who had received the command of the army after the wounding of the Swedish king Charles XII on June 17). "Like a Swede at Poltava" remains a simile for "totally helpless" in Russian and Ukrainian idiom. The battle marked the end of Sweden as a great power and the rise of Russia as one.
Rabbi Yitzchok Isaac Krasilschikov served as the city's rabbi for many years both before the Russian Revolution and after. The city played host to the Mir Yeshiva during World War I and until 1921.
The centre of the old city is a semicircular Neoclassical square with the Tuscan column of cast iron (1805-11), commemorating the centenary of the Battle of Poltava and featuring 18 Swedish cannons captured in that battle. As Peter the Great celebrated his victory in the Saviour church, this 17th-century wooden shrine was carefully preserved to this day. The five-domed city cathedral, dedicated to the Exaltation of the Cross, is a superb monument of Cossack Baroque, built between 1699 and 1709. As a whole, the cathedral presents a unity which even the Neoclassical belltower has failed to mar. Another frothy Baroque church, dedicated to the Dormition of the Theotokos, was destroyed in 1934 and rebuilt in the 1990s.

Plants at full capacity; new Fabia production starts at the end of August
After just a two-week factory holiday, production at all three Czech Škoda sites is in full swing. In addition to refurbishment, the manufacturer used the factory shut-down, in particular in Mladá Boleslav, to prepare for the new Škoda Fabia production to start. The new small car will start to roll off the production line at Škoda's main plant from the end of August.
In just a few weeks the car manufacturer will be pushing forward with the biggest model campaign in the company's history with the new Škoda Fabia. "The new Fabia really does represent: small car, big on technology," says head of production of vehicles Marek Jancák. "More importantly we have expanded and technically updated important areas of the M1 assembly line in Mladá Boleslav," says Jancák.
This means that the Fabia factory has a new, extremely modern facility to configure new assistance systems. The paint shop has also, in some areas, been updated. During the factory holiday a total of 40 industrial engineering companies were at work in the company.
One of the focal points was to integrate the new Fabia engines into the production process. The small car features a completely new range of engines and is the most environmentally friendly and economical Fabia of all time. Energy consumption has been reduced by up to 17 percent compared to its predecessor. The new Fabia engines (four petrol, three diesel) meet EU6 standards and are fitted with Start-Stop System and brake energy recovery as standard.
The second assembly line in the Škoda parent plant has also been comprehensively updated. Škoda manufactures the Octavia and Rapid models on assembly line M13. In addition, the M13 production shop underwent an expansion of production capacity for driver assistance systems.
In addition, a lot of work has been carried out to the Kvasiny and Vrchlabí Škoda factories. Kvasiny is currently setting up a new body shop. Its completing and the related infrastructure measures are among the highest priorities of Škoda. During the factory holiday, the Vrchlabí plant used the time to carry out maintenance to the DQ 200 transmission production line.
Škoda put a total of 100 individual projects into effect across all 3 Czech factories (Mladá Boleslav, Kvasiny und Vrchlabí) during this break. About 90 companies have been involved in the process.
At an exceptional rate, the final work on the new Škoda engine test centre in Česana near Mladá Boleslav is nearing completion. It has been in pre-production phase since June and will be fully-operational from the beginning of September 2014. The manufacturer, jointly with Volkswagen, is investing over 34 million euros in the extension of its current technology and development centre. This is the largest development investment of a private company within the Czech Republic.
Škoda Auto is one of the longest-established vehicle production companies in the world. Since 1895, the Czech headquarters in Mladá Boleslav has seen the production firstly of bicycles and then, shortly afterwards motorbikes and cars.
It currently has seven passenger car models: Citigo, Fabia, Roomster/Praktik, Rapid, Octavia, Yeti and Superb.
The company delivered around 920,800 vehicles to customers worldwide in 2013.
The brand has belonged to Volkswagen since 1991. The VW Group is one of the most successful automotive groups in the world. Škoda, in association with the Group, independently manufactures and develops vehicles, as well as components, engines and gear transmissions.
It operates at three locations in the Czech Republic, produces in China, Russia, Slovakia and India mainly through Group partnerships, as well as in Ukraine and Kazakhstan through local partners. Škoda employs over 25,800 people globally and is active in more than 100 markets.

Inspiration, no one, don't poke fun
No gun with you, how you gon' cause commotion?
I hate the whole world, wait the whole world hate me
My whole family, looking at me strange lately
Born to be wild, born evil, dangerous
Born lethal, I was born to skeeve people
American lowlife, dirt bag, my team
Smelly armpits, bad breath, low hygiene

On the playground, shooting little kids with paintballs
Crucify you, real life Stigmata
You trying to win fights, running backwards like Oscar
Dirty white boy, dirty dirty, filthy filthy
Half hillbilly, half the world wanna kill me
Come and get some, underground rap legend
Call bitches birds, call birds Tippi Hedren
Cops and robbers, hop fences, run through your backyard
I'm the type that try to act large
In the Chinese whorehouse, get my back massage
I get your bitch pregnant, you take the bitch to Lamaze

Hold up, you see me wild out, that's what I do
Get arrested, starting riots, me and my crew
I won't sign autographs, I'm unfriendly
Out in Long Isl', Rakim, E-P, M-D
B-E, we be, R-U-G
One man gang, whole world vs. me
Blood thirsty, I'll be dead before I'm 30
Born to be a failure, paraphernalia, in my glove box
Underage chick that love to suck cocks
In the backseat, driving with no license
Cops following, running down fire hydrants
You dirty, crusty, ass, lowlife)
This track is the title track off the unreleased R.A. album named American Lowlife, that was recorded in 1999. The album was bought by Rawkus Records, but they never released it.

Federal Drug charges are serious crimes and if you have been charged with one or more of these crimes, then you should contact an attorney immediately. Keep reading to learn about what constitutes a federal drug charge and other important information about what types of legal defense you can use in court against these charges.
The Different Types of Federal Drug Charges
"Drug Dogs" and Vehicle Stops
Using "drug dogs" during vehicle checkpoints and stops has become a common method used in both federal and state investigations. It is important to note that the use of a drug dog itself is not a "search" protected under the Fourth Amendment and when a "drug dog" detects the presence of narcotics, this fact alone constitutes probable cause to search the vehicle or other property to which the dog alerted and, if drugs are found, probable cause to arrest whoever possesses them.
However, in the absence of additional suspicion of a separate crime i.e. the police officer smelling marijuana, a traffic stop may not be extended to perform a "drug dog" sniff.
If you have been charged with a drug crime involving the use of a "drug dog" there are several avenues to attack the constitutionality of the search. In most cases, if you can show the use of the "drug dog" was unconstitutional the entire charge will be dismissed.
Our firm has handled dozens of cases involving "drug dogs" and have a dedicated K-9 expert with 30-years of experience to assist in defeating the Government's case against you.
Possession with Intent to Distribute and Distribution of Narcotics
The elements of possession with intent to distribute are: (1) possession of a narcotic controlled substance, (2) knowledge of the possession, and (3) intent to distribute the narcotic controlled substance.
The elements of distribution are: (1) distribution of a controlled substance, (2) knowledge of the distribution, and (3) intent to distribute the controlled substance.
Concerning the first element, actual possession of the narcotics is not essential to sustain a conviction.
Constructive possession is adequate and either circumstantial or direct proof can prove constructive possession i.e. drugs found in a vehicle or home belonging to the defendant. Regarding the second element, it is not essential for the Government to demonstrate that the Defendant knew the precise nature of the substance.
As to the last element, the intent to distribute drugs can be inferred from a number of variables, including but not limited to the quantity, packaging, and amount of money confiscated.
Finally, because "possession" is a lesser included offense of "possession with intent to distribute," a defendant cannot be convicted and sentenced on both of these offenses if they are based on the same conduct.
Drug Conspiracies
To prove conspiracy to possess illegal drugs with intent to distribute, the Government must show: (1) an agreement to possess the illegal drug with intent to distribute existed between two or more persons; (2) the defendant knew of the conspiracy; and (3) the defendant knowingly and voluntarily joined the conspiracy.
Proof of a conspiracy may be shown by circumstantial evidence; direct proof is not needed. Once a conspiracy is established, the proof only needs to create a slight link between the defendant and the conspiracy to sustain conviction.
A defendant need not know his co-conspirators or the conspiracy details and may be sentenced despite having played only a minor part in the general conspiracy. However, a simple buy-sell transaction is inadequate to prove a conspiracy.
However, it should be noted that evidence of uncharged criminal conduct is admissible if it serves to complete the story of the crime at trial. Finally, there is no need for evidence of an overt act in support of the conspiracy to support a conviction of drug conspiracy.
Continuing Criminal Enterprise CCE
To prove a CCE conviction, the government must prove five elements: (1) defendant committed a felony violation of the federal drug laws; (2) such violation was part of a continuing series of violations of the drug laws; (3) the series of violations were undertaken by defendant in concert with five or more persons; (4) defendant served as an organizer or supervisor, or in another management capacity with respect to these other persons; and (5) defendant derived substantial income or resources from the continuing series of violations.
A jury must unanimously agree on which particular violations make up the continuing sequence; however, charges in the same indictment may qualify as predicate violations to maintain a CCE conviction.
In proving the "organizer or supervisor" prong, the Government is not required to prove that the five individuals were supervised simultaneously, nor must the five individuals be under the defendant's direct control. Moreover, a defendant does not need to be the leader in order to be convicted under Section 848.
Co-defendants (even acquitted co-defendants) can be counted towards the five individuals required to meet the five-person requirement; however, there must be something more between the subordinate and the organizer / supervisor than a mere buyer-seller relationship to be correctly counted.

It may not be cutting edge for game designers, but it is desperately needed for teachers! I read "Theory of Fun", "Program or be Programmed" by Rushkoff and "Reality is Broken" by McGonigal all the same summer and they changed the way I teach. There is a definite psychology to the way our brains process and retain information and skills. Games and projects and movement and music and art all make those natural biological processes fire in ways that sitting at a desk writing a worksheet never will.
Glad to see a 10th anniversary edition, and just waiting for it to be added to teacher education classes.
Not all games are designed for fun. Some are designed for addictiveness.

I might be blah-blah years old, but I still get insanely stupid excited about the prospect of getting soaked with water balloons! Every summer, without fail, I'm right out in the backyard lobbing water balloons with (or at) the kids. Not once or twice, but dozens of times, and I'm not ashamed to admit it!
But, sometimes randomly blasting people with water balloons all afternoon can get a little boring. Not to mention you end up blowing through a whole bag of water balloons in no time at all. Full on water balloon wars are fun, don't get me wrong. But, sometimes slightly more structured water balloon games are more fun!
Water balloon games are great for keeping your own kids entertained for a couple hours. They're also perfect for entertaining large groups of little rugrats, so if you have an upcoming birthday party or backyard barbecue!
Water balloon games don't have to be complicated with tons of rules to be fun. A simple game of catch with water balloons is a blast!
- Two people stand a couple feet apart and start tossing a water balloon back and forth.
- Every time someone catches a water balloon successfully without it breaking, take a step back.
- A new round starts when the water balloon breaks.
Hot Potato
If you have a few more people to entertain, water balloon games like hot potato might be the answer.
- Players stand in a circle and toss a water balloon to each other.
- When a water balloon breaks, that person is out and play continues with a new water balloon.
- The person left standing at the end is the winner.
- Make things a little more interesting by tossing two or three water balloons at a time.
Classic summer games like tag can also be tweaked to become water balloon games.
- Start a regular game of tag.
- Instead of tagging people by hand, the person who's "it" tags people with water balloons.
Take me out to the ball game…a water balloon baseball game, that is!
- Use plastic bats and water balloons to play water balloon baseball. Big plastic bats work best for this, since water balloons are small.
- A player can run the bases when they splat a water balloon.
- Buckets of water balloons are kept at home plate, the pitcher's mound, and the bases to throw at players to get them out.
Duck, Duck, Goose
Remember playing Duck, Duck, Goose when you were a kid? This is a slightly wetter version!
- Everyone sits in a circle, and the person who's it (the fox) circles the group.
- Instead of simply patting the other players' heads, the fox taps them on the head with a water balloon.
- The "goose" gets a water balloon splatted on their head, and they must catch the fox before he circles the group and sits in the goose's spot.
Water Balloon Piñata
Here's a wetter version of a fun birthday party game. Instead of buying or making a piñata, fill some water balloons instead!
- Hang water balloons in the air. Use monkey bars or even a piece of rope strung between two solid objects, like two trees.
- Players take turns whacking at the water balloons with pool noodles.
Relay Race
Relay races are fun, but they're so much better when you throw some water balloons into the mix!
- Designate a start and finish for your race, and place players between these two points.
- Players carry a water balloon under their chins and run to the next player on their team.
- The water balloon must be passed to the other player without using hands.
- If a water balloon falls and breaks, the team must start over from the beginning.

#Female Pleasure Switzerland 2018 – 97min.
Short description
Barbara Miller's feature documentary #FEMALE PLEASURE portrays five courageous, smart and self-determined women, breaking the silence imposed by their archaic-patriarch societies and religious communities. With incredible strength and positive energy, Deborah Feldman, Leyla Hussein, Rokudenashiko, Doris Wagner and Vithika Yadav are fighting for sexual liberation and autonomy for women, beyond religious rules and cultural barriers. But their victory comes at a high price: they all have experienced public defamation, threats and prosecutions, have been excommunicated by the society they grew up in and even received death threats by religious leaders and fanatics.
#FEMALE PLEASURE shows the universal mechanisms at work that determine the position of women until today, spanning cultures, religions and continents: from Japan and India and the Somali muslim diaspora to the Hasidic community in Brooklyn and the Catholic clergy in Europe. All protagonists have come to the same conclusion: the female body is subjected to male lust and first and foremost meant for procreation, without any regard for female sexual pleasure and autonomy.
These women decided to speak up and are the ultimate example on how courage, strength and zest for life can indeed alter societal structures. [Pressetext]

eBay (Firm) -- Management, Technology -- Management, Technological innovations, Strategic management
One company that has been described as growing faster in its first decade than any other enterprise in the history of capitalism is eBay. It has been regarded as the dotcom survivor.
eBay was founded by Pierre Omidyar in 1995 as a marketplace for the sale of goods and services for individuals. Not only was it a novel idea, but it was utilizing an innovative technology - the Internet. E-commerce had not yet been established as an acceptable and understandable method of doing business at that time. eBay has since . changed the way people think. It has fostered the idea that trust can be established over the internet and has put its loyalty in its users. It has also been a source of a community-based company in which the collective intelligence and enthusiasm of its 157 million customers determine and drive the daily actions of its 9,300 employees.
Guided by CEO, Meg Whitman, eBay has been growing at a tremendous rate. Acquiring a number of big companies has been part of eBay's success as well as expanding globally. It now operates in more than 27 countries and is still planning on more expansion efforts. This year, roughly half of its revenues will originate outside the U.S.
The concept that eBay was based on is still followed until this day. It is the reason why eBay continues to be so successful. It is not all about management employees, but rather on guiding and understanding the users. eBay was supported by a set of norms that continues to guide eBay and which the company hopes would guide its members as well, these norms are:
eBay is a community where we encourage open and honest communications between all of our members. We believe in the following five basic values:
- We believe people are basically good
- We believe everyone has something to contribute
- We believe than an honest, open environment can bring out the best in people.
- We recognize and respect everyone as a unique individual.
- We encourage you to treat others the way that you want to be treated.
This project is only available to students, staff, and faculty of Portland State University
