1) A professor fills an empty mayonnaise jar with golf balls to represent important things in life like family, health, and passions. He then adds pebbles to represent other matters like job and home. Sand fills the gaps to represent small stuff.
2) When coffee is poured into the full jar, it represents having room for friends.
3) The lesson is to prioritize important people and activities ("golf balls") over less important tasks ("sand") to have a meaningful life, but also make room for relationships ("coffee").

The document discusses the 90/10 principle, which states that 10% of life is made up of external events outside our control, while 90% is determined by our reactions to those events. It provides an example of how reacting negatively to a spilled cup of coffee can ruin the whole day, while responding positively avoids stress and conflict. The key message is that while we cannot control what happens, we can control how we respond, which significantly impacts our experiences. Applying the 90/10 principle by not letting negative external events affect us can result in a more positive and stress-free life.
This document discusses a website and software that aims to create a more creative society by providing tools with a low floor and high ceiling to encourage creativity. The website has had over 3 million unique visitors, 350,000 downloads of the software, and 175,000 projects uploaded, showing significant engagement with a new project uploaded every two minutes and 15% being remixes of other projects.
The document outlines the steps in writing a narrative essay, including prewriting such as listing, clustering, and free writing; drafting and revising the introduction, body paragraphs, and conclusion; and finalizing the essay for inclusion in a writing portfolio. It also provides guidance on effective titles, thesis statements, narrative flow, sentence structure, grammar, style, and revision strategies.
Green Guerrillas are young people at-risk for criminalization and incarceration who recognize the role mainstream media plays in supporting stereotypes which promote sweat shops over sustainable style, genetically modified crops over locally-grown organic foods, and pollution and prisons over sustainability and social change. Green Guerrillas study documentary and narrative filmmaking, make their own media from posters to movies, do outreach at community events, travel regionally to interact with similarly situated peers, get their ¡°hands dirty¡± learning about renewable energy, and analyze important social, political, economic and environmental issues which affect their lives. As low-income youth of color, Green Guerrillas redefine sustainability in terms that make sense to them. By connecting the dots between the same ideological approaches which criminalize immigrant communities and pollute the air, water, and soil we all collectively need for survival, these young people are non-traditional leaders who are setting a powerful example for an entire community.
Petrobras unveiled its strategic plan and business plan for 2010-2014 totaling $224 billion in investments. Key aspects include increasing domestic oil and gas production, with targets of 5.4 million boe/d by 2020. Major projects in the pre-salt region were added to come online between 2010-2014 including Guar¨¢ Pilot FPSO, Tupi NE Pilot FPSO, and Baleia Azul FPSO. The plan aims to boost domestic refining and natural gas supply while expanding internationally in select markets and business segments. Local content is expected to provide nearly 70% of total investment needs during this period.
This document outlines plans for continuing and building upon the work started during the International Year of Astronomy 2009 (IYA2009). It discusses [1] producing final reports and books to summarize IYA2009, [2] maintaining online resources and networks created for IYA2009, and [3] finding ways for IYA2009 projects and activities to be sustained long-term. The goal is to turn IYA2009 into a lasting legacy that inspires ongoing collaboration and communication about astronomy worldwide.
The new Sky Planetarium in Second Life offers significantly more space and improved astronomy exhibits, structures, and accessibility. It features several interactive spheres that provide 3D views of galaxies, stars, and galaxy clusters. The planetarium also includes models of the solar system, black holes, constellations, and space dioramas. It aims to be an informative and engaging place for both learning about astronomy and social activities.
Joaquim Prudencio Leao has over 30 years of experience in business development, project management, and government affairs across various industries including oil & gas, petrochemicals, pension funds, banking, and more. He has held roles such as Business Development Manager, Project Director, and Secretary-General at companies in Brazil, the UK, and elsewhere.

The document summarizes the history and development of the Space Educators' Handbook over 20 years from 1989 to 2009. It began as an interactive encyclopedia created using the HyperCard application on Apple Macintosh computers. It contained many firsts as one of the earliest digital resources combining text, graphics, and interactivity. Over the years, it transitioned to DVD format allowing greatly increased capacity, from 14 MB to 3.5 GB, and added multimedia features like video, sound clips, and animations.

The document outlines plans for the International Year of Astronomy 2009 (IYA2009), a global celebration and awareness campaign coordinated by the International Astronomy Union (IAU). The goals are to increase scientific awareness, promote access to astronomical knowledge and experiences, empower developing countries, support education, and provide a modern image of science. Key projects and events include 100 Hours of Astronomy, Galileoscope telescope kits, the Cosmic Diary blog, the Portal to the Universe website, and engaging the public through various national and local celebrations and activities around the world.
The Moon formed about 4.45 billion years ago from debris ejected when a large object collided with Earth. It has since been shaped primarily by relentless bombardment from impacts. Exploration of the Moon began with telescopic observations in the 1600s and recent robotic missions have revealed much about its geology and origins, but many questions remain unanswered, motivating continued exploration including future human missions.
