Fun Travel Games and Activities for Kids
Mad Libs is a fun game that has been around for generations and it never gets boring! There are many titles and versions of the game, but this one is designed for children between the ages of 5-8 years-old.
If you're not familiar with the game, it's simple and fun to play. Each page begins with a new story title. The story is written, but the blanks are for you to fill in with different parts of speech that are specified for each space.
How to Play
One person should hold the book so that the others cannot see the pages. The reader will first ask each person, one at a time for a part of speech. When the person gives the reader a word, the reader must then fill in the space blank with the given word. When all the blanks are filled in the reader must then read the story. Of course, it won't make sense which is what makes it so entertaining.
Perfect for Travel
This is a perfect game for travel by car or plane. It can be played in a hotel or on the beach. Everyone will enjoy it and it's lightweight and compact to make it easy to pack. Store it with other books or in an art bag, either way, the paperback won't take up much space. You won't go wrong with a Mad Libs Junior game in your travel bag!
When you see the name Melissa & Doug you probably think quality. That's because all the Melissa & Doug toys are made of quality materials and the wooden toys will last throughout your little one's entire childhood.
This license plate game is no different from the other Melissa & Doug toys and it's easy to play. It's designed for children 8-years and older, but it depends on the learning level of your child.
How to Play
The rules of this game are simple and can be varied. There are 50 state license plates on the wooden pieces and includes the capital of the state on the opposite side of each piece. Your children can watch the road for all the different state license plates and as they find them, they can look for them on the board and flip the pieces up. This game can be played as a matching game to learn the state capitals or they can flip the pieces to learn the locations of the states. It can be played solo or with others. There really are no set rules for this fun learning game.
Perfect for Travel
This game can be carried in a tote bag or packed nicely into the bottom of a suitcase. You can carry this game in the car for everyday travel as well. It is made of sturdy wood so it might be a bit heavier than some of the other travel activities in your bag.
No matter what age a person is, card games are loved by everyone. This fun and exciting scavenger hunt card game is no different from the rest and you will appreciate it during a long road trip. It can be played with 2-4 people and is intended for children ages 6 and older, but the younger children can always team up with an older child or adult.
It's an easy game to play and it will give the children enough items to find that they will be entertained for hours. The best part is that when the game is over, the cards can be shuffled, and a new game can begin.
How to Play
Each player is dealt five cards and the remaining cards can be placed back into the box for easy access. The players should hold their cards facing them so that the other players cannot see them. The players should look around outside of the car for the items on their cards. As players find their items, they should shout it out, but not loud enough to frighten the driver. After they find the item, they should show the card to the others and keep a pile of only their discards, and they should then draw a new card from the box. The first player with ten discards in their pile wins. The cards are not only made up of items the players can see, but there are also cards for hearing, feeling, smelling, and some swap cards too.
Perfect for Travel
The cards easily store in a closeable box that can be conveniently packed into any tight spot. You can keep this game in a travel tote or keep it stored in a compartment in the car, it's that small and convenient.
This is a classic toy with a twist. The travel spirograph is designed to go with your kids everywhere they go. It comes with six spirograph wheels, two pens, and a sticky note pad.
It's intended for children ages 5 and older, but with assistance, your smaller children could use it too.
How to Play
It's simple to use; just secure the paper under the cover and put the wheel on the top. Use the design pens to create pictures and your kids could even carry along crayons to color the designs. When the kids are finished, they can store everything inside the container.
Perfect for Travel
This is one of the best travel companions that could be used in the place of electronics. It's small, lightweight, and compact. The pieces conveniently store under the lid inside the container. The price is perfect so that you can buy one for each of your children. Not only is this a great toy for the car and plane, but the kids can create while they wait for their food in the restaurant, they can use it on a camping trip, and even at the park.
With this game, the kids will be learning and won't even realize it because it's so much fun! It comes with seventy-five cards that are printed with clues on both sides and with the 450 words, they will never get bored. It also comes with a magnetic scoreboard with magnetic markers so that they won't have the need for any paper or pencils. It is intended to be played by the older kids ages 10 and up and can easily be played with 3 to 4 players or in teams for larger groups.
How to Play
The idea is for each player to take a turn reading the clues. When the clues are read it is up to the other players to blurt out the answers. The person with the most points at the end of the game wins, it's that simple.
Perfect for Travel
It's perfect for travel because it stores conveniently inside a tin. The cards keep safely in a sleeve while traveling in the back seat of the car so that they won't spill. This game would also work well for entertainment in the hotel or while camping.
This is another classic game with a twist that has been created by Melissa & Doug. Everyone at least once in a lifetime has probably played hangman with paper and pencil. This game is complete in one piece on a durable wooden board with flip letters and a dry-erase board all-in-one. The dry-erase pen conveniently and securely stores on a Bungee at the side of the board.
How to Play
Each player takes a turn creating a word or phrase. Once the word or phrase has been created, the other players take a turn guessing a letter. If it's there it can be written on the dry-erase board and the next player gets a turn. If the letter is not there a body part should be flipped over on the hangman. Every time a letter is guessed it should be flipped over on the board so that it doesn't get used again. A player can guess the word at any time when it's their turn and if it's correct it will be their turn to create the next word or phrase.
Perfect for Travel
It's the perfect size for your travel bag and all the pieces, except the pen, are attached so that they won't come off. The pen will conveniently store on the side of the board so that it won't get lost. Not only is this a great game for the back seat of the car, but it can be taken on a plane and even played while in a waiting room or restaurant.
Everyone enjoys a fun game of bingo and with this game, the smallest of your family members can play along too. It's designed for two players and ideal for kids as young as 4-years old. It comes with two magnetic game boards with pictures of animals. One player gets eighteen red magnetic markers and the other player will get eighteen blue ones.
How to Play
The first player should spin the spinner and each player should place their marker on the matching animal picture on their game board. Play continues until the first player covers a complete row with markers. If there are more than two players, each person could take turns spinning during a round.
Perfect for Travel
This game is conveniently stored inside a tin container. The game boards are magnetic so the markers can stick right to them in storage. The spinner fits just right inside the container with all the other pieces. It's small enough to carry in any bag and can be used anyplace for entertainment.
This is not exactly a game, but it's a perfect alternative to electronics while traveling. This lightweight board is easy to use for all ages. It comes with an LCD screen and a stylus.
How to Play
This is a simple tool that can be used to express your child's creativity. It can be used to play classic games like tic-tac-toe and hangman, and it can be used for learning and drawing too.
It's simple to use if your child can hold a pencil than they won't have a problem figuring this one out. Just use the stylus on the board like writing on paper, when they're done, the touch of a finger on a button will erase it. It can even be used with a finger if you choose not to use the stylus!
Perfect for Travel
This is lightweight and compact enough to pack into any tote bag, purse, or art kit. The pen can hook right onto the board, so you can see why this would be the perfect choice for a travel necessity. No mess, and no spilled pieces, just fun games, and creativity.
This is what Cassie in Michigan does when traveling in the car, plane or train with her grandchildren!
I give my grandchildren things like pipe cleaners, stickers and paper, aluminum foil (they mold it into whatever they want), scotch tape and post-it-notes, band aids (by the time you get somewhere they may be wearing the entire box–and that's OK if it keeps them happy! With this–you won't later find melted crayons on your back seat!
10. Depending on the age of your children– you can add:
- Books to read as well as age appropriate activity books, comic books and sticker book
- Threading sets (pictures with yarn)
- Magnetic Travel-size games such as Monopoly, Sorry, Battleships, Chess, Backgammon, Checkers, and Chinese Checkers
- Travel-size Magna- Doodle and Etch-a-Sketch
- Small Lego sets in Ziploc bag to store the pieces

- Wipe of easels (white-board) with board markers
- Miniature worlds: little houses, etc. with figures, hand-sized playsets
- Small magnetic puzzles

15. A – Z BACK-SEAT TRAVELS: A way to keep kids occupied while LONG TRIP traveling…
1 small notebook
1 large zipper- seal plastic bag
A pen or pencil
Crayon or markers
What to do:
1. Before you go on the trip, write name, the place you are going to, and the date that you are leaving on the cover of the notebook.
2. At the top of each page, write one letter of the alphabet, beginning with A and ending with Z.
3. Place the notebook, pencil, and crayons in the plastic bag and take them on the trip with you.
4. As you travel, look for special landmarks or things and write their name next to the appropriate letter. For example, lake would be written on the "page with "L" at the top.
5. Draw a picture of that item on the page, and color the picture with the crayons.
You can use blank pages at the end of the book as a travel diary, detailing everything you saw and did on the trip.
Kids will have a full book of vacation memories!
Pick an object in the distance and have everyone guess how far away it is. Set your odometer and clock it!
- Think of words.
- Children take turns seeing how many "real" rhyming words they can think of.
- When one word is worn out, choose another word. Remind the kids to use "nice" words only!
- Example: Rhyme words with "time"…
Chime, climb, crime, dime, grime, I'm, lime, mime, prime rhyme, thyme, slime, bedtime, centime, daytime, enzyme, lifetime, mealtime, meantime, nighttime, pastime, ragtime, sometime,springtime, sublime, maritime, overtime, pantomime, paradigm
On long car rides. Turn off the DVD'S, CD's and radio –and pick a few of your children's favorite songs and sing them. Try to get the kids involved, taking turns singing the songs in your funniest voices.
Amazon has "ALL-AMERICAN CAR-I-OKE". Yes, karaoke for the car! It'a a kit including a book of 15 great family sing-along tunes and activities galore, an accompanying CD of music, and three booklets of lyrics for the back seat and the way-back.
1. Think up three nouns.
2. Everyone takes turns creating a sentence with those three nouns. 3. Alternate the noun-giver and sentence-makers.
An example for the nouns: Orange, dog, store
"The DOG is happy because
ORANGE colored chew bones
are stocked at the STORE."
Note from Barb: An orange that you 'eat' is a noun…however, it's used above as an adjective. This can also be an interesting way to review 'part of speech'.
20. How about putting together a "TRAVELING SCAVENGER HUNT"?
Will you be traveling in the city, on a highway, or in the country? Adjust your list to the places your trip will take you…then…make identical lists for each player. (You join in too!) The first to spot the item gets to cross it off of the list!
- Maple tree
- 3 kids in the back seat of a car
- flasing red light
- Person on a bike
- Lady walking and wearing a hat
- Dog
- Seafood restaurant,
- Coney Island Restaurant,
- Stuffed animal or doll in a back-seat car window
- Motorcycle
- Man with white hair driving a car
- Trailer being pulled behind a car
- Church with a steeple, etc.
- Rail road tracks, etc.
- A lake, river, stream or pond
- A sign that says "Welcome to the State of ________"
21. Get ready for your trip by making LITTER BAGS FOR THE CAR!
- Give children small lunch bags.
- Have them decorate the bag with pictures of flowers, trees, animals, etc.
- Open up the bag and bend the top down 1".
- Punch two holes on one side at the top.
- Loop a piece of string, yarn or ribbon through the two holes and tie.
- Have children hang their litter bags in the car; remind kids that all car litter should go in the litter bag.
22. LEARN TO SING THE ABC'S BACKWARDS! Who can do it first?!!
Why? Just for the fun of it!
Have cards with the alphabet and point to the letters starting with "Z" and go from there…
Have the kids place a piece of chocolate candy in their mouth— and see how long it takes to melt! No sucking and chewing it! The one to keep the chocolate in their mouth the longest is the winner.
Classic Road Trip Games for Kids
One person picks something to be, such as a famous person or an animal, and then the rest of the passengers ask 'yes or no questions' until someone guesses who the person has chosen to be.
This game is good for one play– until they learn the trick
The leader (lets say Sarah) starts by saying, "I'm going on a trip and I'm bringing a sun hat." Each person in turn responds with an appropriate traveling item. "I'm going on a trip and I'm bringing _____." Leader confirms by saying "Yes, you can bring ____" or "No, you can't bring that" or something similar.
The Trick:
The first letter of the item they bring must match the first letter of their first name. So Leslie can also bring lotion or lipstick. Paul can bring pants.
Note: This is one of the easier trick games to figure out, so be sure to remind players not to tell the secret. Don't give hints. Kids love figuring this stuff out on their own.
"Rock" is a fist…"Paper" is a flat hand…and "Scissors" are the pointer and middle fingers making snipping motions. Partners shake their fists three times—and then show their chosen motion on the count of three. Winning hands are decided as follows:
Rock breaks/dulls scissors… Scissors cuts paper… Paper covers rock.
Play three or 5 times…and see who has the most wins. This is also a good method to see who goes "first" in games.
One person says "I spy with my little eye, something that is _______ (name a color)". Then others try to guess what the object is and the one who guesses it takes the next turn.
With older kids instead of this 'I Spy' — Play 'I'M THINKING OF': The leader looks about the area and says, "I'm thinking of something that is the color_________. Say what the color it is. Children guess what they think it may be. Winner is the next leader. It's the same game as 'I Spy'–buy not with the younger child's title…
The leader picks a number within a range and players try to guess the number. Example: Leader says, "I'm thinking of a number between one and 50". Leader can say "higher or lower– as the children guess. Correct number guess is the next leader.
Can your kids…
- Roll their tongue (85% of people can).
- Wiggle their ears; wiggle their nose.
- Show they are double jointed.
- Touch their ear with their elbow (I don't think anyone can!).
- Whistle (can they whistle by blowing both in and out?).
- Twiddle thumbs (try to do it in both directions at same time!).
- Rub their stomach and pat head at same time.
- Make owl hoots with clasped hands.
- Make a popping sound with hand tapping their puckered large "O" shaped mouth.
How about you? Can you???
TIP: If a child is starting to become a challenge, put him/her in charge of a game or go first. It often will change the behavior.
More Road Trip Game Activities for Kids
Have one person start counting aloud an object in everyone's view: Windows, white shirts, shoes, etc. Who can guess what the person is counting?
Choose a category such as animals, vehicles, countries or food. Each person is to name something that belongs to that group. Challenge players to work in A to Z order: ant, bee, cow. Or, you can name items like hammer, saw, level and the child responds with "tools."
One more option is to have each word begin with the last letter of the previous word: Japan, Netherlands, Somalia, etc.
Play this game just like any "Simon Says" but add visual directions that are totally wrong! Example: Simon Says touch your nose while touching your cheek! This game helps children focus on the spoken word rather than being overly influenced by visual…
A potato chip or cracker is placed on shoulder, while standing. The challenge is to remove the chip with tongue!
They're great to do with the kids as a group! Just shout out to them, 'Give me a noun—or adjective, etc. When complete, read the 'Mad Lib' story aloud with much enthusiasm. The children love it!
(For Older kids) Have each player in turn describe a food that they cannot stand to eat. Encourage as much detail as possible so that the other car members are disgusted by the food, too…
36. When you have some down time-waiting
Start off with what makes you happy —and then take turns calling out things such as: Sunny days make me happy; Sunshine makes me happy; Warm cookies make me happy; Saturday mornings make me happy; Friday nights makes me happy;Going to the movies makes me happy…Pizza…..Going on vacation…Blue skies…Summer time, etc.
When done in a light-hearted manner, the children will join in and share! You'll be amazed how the atmosphere can change–as well as realizing it doesn't have to be a trip to Disney World to do it!
I actually did this with my three grandsons (ages 4, 6, 9) while waiting for their Dad in the car not too long ago! Within a few seconds, the atmosphere in the car really lightened up and they were each sharing! Barb
Take along a supply of JOKES, KNOCK-KNOCK JOKES, TONGUE TWISTERS, and RIDDLES/TRICK QUESTIONS …Just copy and paste from our pages. (Tip: When you copy KidActivities pages, the letters will be light blue on your paper–just use your 'computer color font choices' to make the letters black.)
No laughing, no poking, no nodding, noblinking–just staring into the eyes of your opponent to see who flinches first
is a traditional song in the United States and Canada. It is popular to sing on long trips, as it has a very repetitive format which is easy to memorize, and can take a long time to sing. If the 'Beer' lyric bothers you–substitute the word 'milk' or 'pop' (meaning soft drink/soda)
The lyrics are simple:
Ninety-nine bottles of beer on the wall, Ninety-nine bottles of beer.
Take one down, pass it around, Ninety-eight bottles of beer on the wall.
The same verse is repeated, each time with one less bottle. The song is completed when the singer or singers reach zero.

- Adjust your expectations for family vacations. Instead of thinking of them as time to relax, think of them as family time where you may need to work a bit to bring the family together. (You can always take time off for yourself to unwind at another time.)
- Get everyone's input on possible family vacations and activities. Your getaways will be more successful if everyone is involved in the planning from early on. Make sure the kids have a good say in what is planned, where you go, and the activities you want to do (and want to avoid). You may even need to plan one favorite activity per person so that everyone gets the chance to do something he or she really wants and the rest of the family can get to know that family member better.
- If you're divorced, be careful not to get your children caught in the cross hairs of competing vacations. Some kids think it's too much to go on two vacations (one with dad's family and another with mom's family) because it keeps them away from their friends too long. Balance your children's needs along with your own.
- Be realistic about budgets. Family vacations can get expensive rather quickly. If your kids want spending money, let them know their budget before you go.
- If you have kids in two different age groups (such as a preschooler and a young adolescent), find activities that both enjoy, such as swimming or water parks. Also let each child choose an activity he or she really wants to do and have the whole family go along and enjoy that activity.
- Consider vacations with different goals. One year have a vacation that's about relaxing and being together. Another time have a vacation that's more adventuresome, where you're exploring a national park or a major city. Another time, consider taking a family service trip during which your family volunteers and helps others.
- Whenever you take a family vacation, remember to expect the unexpected, have a sense of humor, and be open to surprise and discovery. This will help you keep your balance and your sanity!
This article is from ParentFurther to find simple, practical, and proven ways to help your kids succeed visit their website! It's a great site to both visit and subscribe!
Pack a traveling bag with activities that kids can do while traveling and on vacation. Include blank tablets, washable markers, puzzle and activity books, playing cards, handheld video games, books to read, and so on.
Consider putting away several new activities (such as a new card game, puzzle, or board game) and wrapping it like a present. When kids get bored, bring out a present for them to open and discover!
Be intentional about playing together as a family while you're on vacation. The best part of a family vacation is being together and having fun together.
Encourage your teenager to bring a friend. This often will raise your teenager's enthusiasm level greatly.
You may need to rethink and redefine a family vacation for this age group. Don't be surprised if your teenager is more enthusiastic about taking a trip to see a favorite music group, go to an amusement park, or visit a first-class water park.
Consider taking two or three shorter vacations instead of one longer vacation. Sometimes teenagers are more agreeable to short getaways (so they don't miss much time with their friends) than long ones.

Bioshock for Ps3?
Arguably the Xbox 360 has the best exclusive games over the Ps3. Halo 3, Gears of War, Lost Odyssey, etc. Among these, is a shooter by 2K and Irrational Games, Bioshock. The spiritual successor to System Shock 2, Bioshock has some of the most thought provoking moments in gaming history, mixed in with a fantastic, twisted story, superb art and graphics, and a very odd yet fitting soundtrack. Now, it is rumored heavily that the critical hit will be heading to the Playstation 3 sometime this fall. It isn't officially announced, but these rumors have not yet been denied, and it is expected to be confirmed by late June. If true, the Playstation 3 version will come with the dlc already on the Xbox 360 and PC versions. It would be developed by Irrational Games.
2 Responses to "Bioshock for Ps3?"
ok. 2 things. firstly good choice for game of the year 07. being possibly the greatest person at CoD4 ever, i am glad to see it fully recognized. secondly i must say that you did a great job slapping me in the face with that Bioshock quib. first you insulted all of our exclusives by naming the worst three you could think of on the spot. (u did it on purpose.) and then u continue to spread a rumor that u no in your heart will never ever happen (by the way. if it does i take that back.) and lastly, making this three things i have had to say, when are you doing an Endwar preview?

I find that sometimes there is a disconnect between the songwriter in me, and the worshipper in me. The songwriter wants to seek out the newest way to express my love for The One, who always was and always will be. How can I depict an eternal truth in a way that is fresh and creative?! Like a pirate on a treasure hunt, I seek out gold, hoping that others will take note of its value.
But the worshipper in me has found joy in the repetition of simple, timeless truths. How can I meditate on one aspect of an endlessly incredible God, until it becomes more real than my own flesh? Like a moth to a flame, I am drawn to a unique facet of His greatness; and I want to fixate on it, until it makes its home deep, deep, deep inside my soul. I want to tell the Lord over and over how amazing that part of Him is…until He shows me something new.
I have found that my favorite songs are crafted from a mixture of treasure discovered from the hunt and simple wonder found from fixating on God's face. I feel like "Only Jesus" was one of those songs for me.
Now to the story behind the song…We gathered in the house I lived in during college. It was a songwriting session, but more importantly it was a reunion for my favorite brother duo (Mateo & Jared Palmitier) and me. We sat on the floor in the basement with a box of Oreos in the house where I first discovered my love for writing songs. It was a homecoming of sorts. To be honest, I didn't know if we would get a song that day, but I was completely content with that! However, catching up on life led to talking about the Lord…and like all good guitar players do, the next thing I knew, there was mood music being played underneath our conversation. With his acoustic, Mateo found a way to capture our gratefulness for how we saw Jesus moving in our lives. (I am so thankful for friends who hear the music in your heart before you even know what it sounds like!)
I was coming out of a season where I felt like all my "sure things" had turned out to be actually nothing. Anywhere that I had placed my hope, besides Jesus, had failed – epically. I was in a messy process of learning that "all other ground," really "is sinking sand." I was beginning to see the fog lift, but for the first time in this growing believer's walk with God, my clarity wasn't coming because He had changed my circumstances…It was shifting, because I was learning to find Him in the middle of my storms. "Only Jesus" had become the cry of my heart as this "good girl" was reminded that her need for a Savior was all too real. Jesus was the only one for the job; and He had already done it. He was taking me back to my first love.
I wish I could say that all songwriting sessions went like this, but "Only Jesus" was a song that just poured out of me. As we began to worship, the first verse and chorus came out almost exactly as you hear them now. It was an overflow moment for me; and it's one of those personal songs – where if no one else ever heard it but Jesus and the three of us in that basement, I would have been content with that. It was healing for me; and I really hope it moves God's heart too.
HOWEVER, I am SO thankful that others will get to join us in singing this song. My prayer is that it brings you back to the simple, yet infinite, truth that is The Gospel.
May the cry of our hearts always be, "Only Jesus."

Was walking my path alone
You bloomed by the way the sun shone
Was glad to see you, that is true
As time parted us
Don't walk beside me, I asked.
I don't want to get used to you.
Was reading the same story
Life read to me some moments ago.
Never realized those minutes
were a few years and so.
The same smile that made me happy
Never wished, it flew out of my will.
Wanted it to last, this time
Unfair I am as ever
the smile should always belong to you.
Don't walk beside me, I asked.
I don't want to get used to you.
Just to see it last, I agreed
You and I walk by till time gets busy
Accepting things has always been my destiny
Memories of minutes with you
Treasure it just like, I have to care of a dew.
I still wished….times unspoken,
You did'nt walk beside me.
I don't want to get used to you.

Israel's so-called peace partner....
Abbas always protests when Israel calls itself a Jewish state...
"When I was there, I was shocked to see on their own television references to Israel's conducting of Nazi-like experiments on Palestinian prisoners. Prisoners are very important for Palestinian society, for families, and the notion that their family members are being subjected to Nazi-like experiments just breeds hatred and contempt for Jews."
Cotler said the most disturbing and ignored incitement comes from the Palestinian leadership itself, including the PA's president Mahmoud Abbas.
"People don't realize that Abbas signed a law, on the very day there was a suicide terrorist attack in December 2005 against Israel, providing monthly stipends for the families of suicide bombers. In January 2007, Abbas addressed a large crowd that was estimated as being over 100,000, in which he said 'the sons of Israel are mentioned in the Koran as those who are corrupting humanity on Earth.'
"Abbas has never recognized Israel's legitimacy as a Jewish state. What was also passed over was a meeting of Arab countries in Senegal last March. During that meeting, Abbas spoke of the Palestinians as being the object of an ethnic cleansing and, worse, that Palestinians are facing a campaign of annihilation by Israel and that Israel perpetrates barbaric attacks against defenceless Palestinians."
Cotler said Abbas also celebrated Israel's release of a Lebanese terrorist who killed members of an Israeli family, in exchange for the return of the bodies of two Israeli soldiers killed in 2006.
"Abbas personally sent his own expressions of celebrations. Knowing that Israel was in mourning was, tragically, a national day of celebration in Lebanon.

On December 4, 2018, Alliance for Justice hosted our 2018 Champions for Justice Gala in NYC and were joined by two extraordinary women: Champion of Justice honoree Roberta Kaplan, known for her successful representation of Edie Windsor in United States v. Windsor, which led to marriage equality; and Sally Yates, former Deputy Attorney General who made headlines for refusing to defend Trump's unconstitutional travel ban. It was a truly inspiring evening, attended by more than 400 members of the legal and advocacy communities. We were also privileged to hear remarks from Tony West, Senior Vice President, Chief Legal Officer and Corporate Secretary at Uber; Deepak Gupta, Founding Principal, Gupta Wessler PLLC; Joshua Matz, attorney at Gupta Wessler PLLC and Kaplan Hecker & Fink LLP; and Hilary Rosen, Partner, SKDKnickerbocker.
We'd like to thank all of our sponsors who helped make the evening a huge success and made a commitment to AFJ's Justice Programs. Without your support, our work would not be possible. A special thanks to Uber, who served as the corporate chair of the evening.
Please enjoy the photos and videos from our very special event!

Oil tanker tragedy: 2 bodies found, black box retrieved
TEHRAN - Chinese relief and rescue teams have located bodies of two of the Iranian oil tanker's crew on Saturday morning, six days after the ship collided with a bulk freighter and caught fire off China's east coast.
Sirous Kianersi, managing director of the National Iranian Tanker Company (NITC), said although the rescue team was able to retrieve the ship's black box but they were turned back by high temperatures and lack of oxygen, Shana reported.
Last Saturday, the tanker Sanchi, owned by NITC, which was carrying one million barrels of condensate to South Korea, collided with the freighter CF Crystal that was carrying grain from the United States about 184 km off China's coast near Shanghai.
Japan, South Korea to join rescue mission
Iranian Minister of Labor Ali Rabiei, who is tasked to head a committee investigating the stricken oil tanker, said on Saturday that Iran has asked Japan and South Korea to join Chinese rescue teams on taming the fire on Sanchi.
As IRNA reported on Saturday, Rabiei who arrived in China on Saturday noted that a joint committee has been formed between Iran, China and Japan to work out the best ways to carry out rescue and search operations.
The official said that an agreement has also been signed between Iran and China on handling the rescue operations on Sanchi oil tanker.
Iranian, Chinese foreign ministers talk on Sanchi
In a telephone conversation on Saturday, Iran's Foreign Minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif spoke to his Chinese counterpart, urging the Chinese government to take all necessary measures regarding the matter.
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi for his part expressed sympathy for the Iranian tanker's crew saying that the Chinese relief and rescue will continue their efforts to restrain the fire.

Mixed media including 25 DMX Lights, 1,000 white flamingos
Mixed media including 25 DMX Lights, 1,000 white flamingos
Photo credit: Chris Hardy, 2018
Bruce Munro received an iconic pink plastic lawn flamingo as a gift from his father who had just returned from traveling to the United States. The bird found a home in Bruce's playroom, and fascinated him throughout his childhood. The use of these 1,000 specially commissioned white flamingos is a nod to Don Featherstone, the designer of the original pink flamingo. They allude to the flock of snow-white birds that, in C.S. Lewis's Voyage of the Dawn Treader, flew each day at dawn to deliver a berry from the garden of the sun to Ramandu, an aged star, who had fallen from the sky. With each berry the birds delivered to Ramandu, he was rejuvenated, eventually transforming him back to a newly born star. Charmaine's Garden Terrace at Montalvo is the site where these mythical birds, reflecting the ever-changing light of the sun, touch down on the table, laid with a feast, before delivering the berry to Ramandu.

Even though you may very carefully spending budget your hard earned money and then try to conserve up, at times there could be an unforeseen event that will require cash easily. Whether a car accident takes place or maybe your costs is a lot beyond normal, you will never know when this can happen. Look at this write-up for advice on making use of online payday loans wisely.
Most payday loans could be received in a brief amount of time. Most pay day loan office buildings publicize that, you can obtain a bank loan after as little as 60 minutes. This does not range from the time that it goes to get your documents. This is certainly the time period it generally usually takes the lending company to create a decision in your application.
Use payday cash loans only for money emergency situations. One of several advantages of a payday advance is that it lets you continue to be self-adequate and handle your own personal financial situation in individual. If you have to obtain the cash from family members or friends, then you would need to make known your finances, which lots of people would rather maintain to their selves.
Always study all the conditions and terms involved with a pay day loan. Determine every point of monthly interest, what every single achievable charge is and how much each one is. You would like an unexpected emergency bridge personal loan to obtain from the present scenarios to on your own ft ., however it is easier for these situations to snowball above several paychecks.
Before taking out that cash advance, be sure you have zero other options available. Payday cash loans can cost you a lot in charges, so any other substitute may well be a far better solution for your general financial situation. Look to your buddies, loved ones and in many cases your bank and credit union to see if you can find every other potential choices you may make.
Simplicity your worries about lack of collateral having a payday loan. Most loan companies would like you to pledge some tool that you simply individual when borrowing cash, to make sure they have something to adopt if you fail to pay back the loan. Payday loans, though only available in small amounts, offer funds with out guarantee. Consequently, although you may have zero resources to promise, you can still get a payday loan when you want one.
Make an application for your payday advance first thing inside the working day. Several financial institutions possess a stringent quota on the amount of pay day loans they can offer on any time. Once the quota is struck, they shut up retail outlet, so you are out of luck. Arrive there very early to avert this.
Make each try to repay your payday advance on time. In the event you can't pay it back, the loaning organization may force you to rollover the financing into a completely new one. This another one accrues its unique list of charges and fund costs, so officially you might be having to pay individuals charges two times for the same dollars! This is often a critical deplete in your bank account, so intend to spend the money for loan away immediately.
Usually browse the fine print for the pay day loan. Some businesses cost service fees or perhaps a fees should you spend the money for financial loan back very early. Other individuals charge a fee when you have to roll the financing over to your next spend time. These represent the most common, however they may possibly cost other concealed fees or perhaps boost the rate of interest if you do not pay out promptly.
Watch out for sliding right into a trap with payday loans. In principle, you would pay for the personal loan in one or two months, then proceed together with your daily life. The truth is, nonetheless, lots of people do not want to pay off the financing, as well as the balance helps to keep going onto their after that income, accumulating large quantities of attention from the approach. In this instance, some individuals end up in the career exactly where they can by no means pay for to repay the borrowed funds.
When you make application for a cash advance, ensure you have your most-current pay stub to confirm that you will be hired. You should also have your most up-to-date bank document to show that you may have a present available bank checking account. Although it is not always needed, it would make the entire process of obtaining a bank loan much easier.
In times of monetary difficulty, a lot of people speculate exactly where they may change. Payday cash loans provide an option, when emergency conditions involve quick cash. A complete understanding of these fiscal vehicles is, crucial for anybody thinking about securing resources this way. Use the guidance over, and you may expect to make a clever option.

A THREE-TRY blast from Canberra Vikings hooker Folau Fainga'a Saturday nearly upstaged a Queensland Country side which started its title defence with a 45-35 win in chilly Canberra.
Folau's five-pointers will impress Wallabies boss Michael Cheika far less than the pinpoint lineout throw to the apex of lock Rory Arnold's jump to start the second try, his dominant scrum work when Country replaced its top front-row and going strong for 80 minutes.
The National Rugby Championship clash was invaluable match sharpening for Vikings trio Fainga'a, Arnold and sharp fullback Tom Banks as well as strong-running Country No. 8 Caleb Timu.
All are bidding for time with the Wallabies in Saturday's Test against South Africa at Suncorp Stadium while the assertive play of prop James Slipper was a promising sign for further down the track.
Slipper's rattling hit and ball-steal on winger Andrew Muirhead was one of the plays of the game to set up a try for winger Jock Campbell and he galloped 12 times as well.
The Vikings rallied from 38-21 to 38-35 with two Fainga'a tries before replacement Country lock Rob Puli'uvea plunged over for the decider after a fine dart from a lineout by replacement halfback Tate McDermott.
Queensland Country 45 (J Campbell 2, A Casey 2, R Puli'uvea, C Timu, A Blyth tries; J Tuttle 3 conv, H Stewart 2 conv) d Canberra 35 (F Fainga'a 3, A Muirhead, L Taliauli tries; J Jackson-Hope 3 conv, W Hawera 2 conv)

Prop JP Smith makes his return for Brisbane City Sunday in the clash against the Western Force at Courtney Oval (3pm) after missing the recent club grand final triumph with GPS because of a cheekbone fracture.
City's strength upfront and the experience of Quade Cooper and Karmichael Hunt in the backline is nice balance to take on a highly-motivated Force side.
Former Reds winger Rod Davies, busy flanker Chris Alcock, Kiwi Jeremy Thrush and halfback Ian Prior are among the classy players the Force will field. The match is broadcast live on Fox Sports.

Looking at the common file dialog classes in .NET, it doesn't look like you can add controls to the dialogs. What you are looking for is the 'Customizing Common Dialog Boxes' section on the MSDN.

Randstad Sourceright survey finds freelance economy will significantly influence hiring strategies
ATLANTA – December 6, 2017 – More than half of global human capital leaders expect to transfer one-third of their permanent positions to contingent roles in the near future, according to the Q4 Talent Trends report by Randstad Sourceright.
Based on a survey of more than 700 global human capital leaders, Randstad Sourceright found that 61 percent of employers plan to replace up to 30 percent of their permanent positions with freelancers, gig workers and independent contractors to become more agile and flexible in the changing economy. Nearly 40 percent of employers surveyed expect they will be able to reduce the impact of talent scarcity by having an integrated hiring strategy.
Companies are increasingly embracing gig workers, and even robots, in their overall workforce to address the increasingly tight labor market in the U.S. and around the world," said Rebecca Henderson, CEO of Randstad Sourceright. "While in the last decade contingent workers have been viewed very differently as compared to full time positions, today's companies are welcoming the opportunity to employ a more agile workforce, particularly as a greater number of gig workers embrace flexible work practices as well.
Nearly 70 percent of employers surveyed believe the skills gap is widening and will create significant challenges in the near future, which is why a vast majority of companies agree that all available resources should be considered to combat recruitment challenges.
According to the report, companies are investing more in training programs to meet the growing demand for talent. Fifty percent of employers said they have increased budgets for reskilling programs in 2017, and 52 percent say they are investing in training and development technologies at moderate or significant levels.
HR departments have quickly realized they can no longer stick to business as usual if they hope to hire top talent in the 21st century," said James Stovall, Randstad Sourceright's senior vice president of solution design."By implementing an integrated talent approach — where permanent, contingent, independent and machine labor are engaged strategically — companies can improve their workforce agility by having access to the right talent at the right time.
More findings from the survey are available at Randstad Sourceright's Talent Trends Quarterly digital hub.
Randstad Sourceright is a global talent solutions leader, driving the talent acquisition and human capital management strategies of some of the world's most successful employers. We help these companies discover and develop their "Human Intelligence Advantage" by quantifying the true impact of their talent strategies.

The Northern Knights have fallen to an impressive Dandenong Stingrays outfit on Saturday afternoon at Shepley Oval in Dandenong.
Wayward kicking from the Knights helped Dandenong set up a commanding 37-point lead at half time. After the Stingrays extended the lead to 48 late in the game the Knights kicked the final three goals to bring the margin to a respectable 29 points.
Coach Justin Wenke says while happy with how the boys played the game out it shouldn't have been that big a margin at half time.
"It was a disappointing day", Wenke said.
"Our goal kicking really let us down in that first half and Dandenong to their credit capitalised on their opportunities and put the game away early."
"We did well in some of our key areas including contested ball and clearances but we were let down by some poor turnovers in the back half resulting in easy goals."
"To our boys credit though, we really played the game out and got some reward for effort in that last quarter and managed to convert chances when going forward."
The Knights won the second half but the 29 point margin reflected where the team is currently at Wenke says.
"I think at the moment we are four to five goals behind the best teams in the competition. We still have a lot to work on and I feel we can close that gap hopefully in the back end of the season and then in the finals."
On an individual level Oliver Wilson and Mark Baker really stepped up in the backline under some immense pressure. While Alex Federico was brilliant before going down with an ankle injury late in the game.
"I thought Oli was fantastic, he was really competitive all day and it was great to see him kick his first goal for the Knights as well. Bakes had the tough job of playing on Tom De Koning and I thought he won that battle which was pleasing for us."
The Knights now have the week off due to the TAC Cup Development Weekend before taking on the Eastern Ranges in an important clash to help cement their spot in the top eight.
