Break Dance moves
Drops
- Coin Drop – drops down on one arm and goes into a windmill. There are suicide variations of the coin drop where the breaker does a coindrop, but once on the back pops up in the air and rotates 360 degrees landing on the back in a star shape. There is also a 720 twist version often used by member of KnuckleHead Zoo, Abenamar Honrubia. He is also seen using it in week 9 of the Americas Best Dance Crew: The championship.
- Knee Drop(aka Colt-45) – a downrock where one puts one foot behind the kneepit of the other and drops to the floor and lands on that foot in order to create an illusion of landing on one’s knee
- Other Knee Drop- a downwork where one puts one foot behind the kneepit of the other, puts the other foot sideways and lands, making both knees almost touch the ground, but not quite. Also used by cwalkers.
- Sweep Drop -one leg sweeps in front of the other, giving the impression of tripping yourself
- Thread Drop -a leg thread is done, but as soon as strong foot hits ground, it is bent.
- Corkscrew -a drop with one foot behind the other knee.
Floor Rocks
Floor Rocks are “rocking” or style moves performed while much of your body (hips and/or shoulders) are touching the floor. Although some moves may involve flowing or spinning like movements, they are not power moves. Floor Rocks are either used as transition moves (into a power move, freeze, etc.) or in between footwork.
- Body Rock (aka Back Rock): A move in which you lay flat on your back and only torque you hip and legs, alternating left and right. This move is similar to the CC’ in footwork, only being done with your shoulders and upper-back touching the ground. For example, your right foot will “tap” or “kick” over to your left while your left knee remains bent, then your left foot will “tap” or “kick” over to your right while your right knee remains bent.
- Scissors: A move started while lying straight on your side, then bending your body in to touch your toes (simulating a scissor motion). Once you unbend and become straight again, you turn to your opposite side and repeat.
- Belly Swim: While laying on your back, you splay out your arms to turn onto your belly then sweep your arms out in front of you to return to your back all while using a continuous “swimming” motion.
- Body Glide: This move is similar to the belly swim but looks like the “superman” in power-moves because your legs and arms remain splayed as you turn over. Unlike only using your arms to “swim” you over (as done in a Belly Swim), a body glide requires you to swing your legs to “glide” your momentum for turning.
- Side Slide: Performed on your side like a scissor, you kick a leg forward or backward spinning you on your hip axis. This move is like a side spin in power but more stylish with shorter rotation. Sometimes the forehead or hip is touched or, the arms are folded while rotating. Also, the dancer may scrunch in and freeze at the end.
- Coffee Grinder/Helicopter: Go down on one bent leg standing on your toes with your hands on either side of your bent knee. Other leg is lying flat out on the floor beside you. Swing the leg that’s on the ground. To avoid being hit by your swing leg; you pick up your hands and put them back on the floor, then use them to pick the rest of your body up lifting it over your swing leg. Drop your body and repeat.
- Figure 4: 1 leg cross to another to form a “4″ shape.
Freezes
Basic Terminology
- Platform: The part(s) of the body that touch the ground, holding the rest of the Body in position. In other words, the supports of your freeze. Examples of platforms are: Hand, Elbow, Head, shoulder, back, belly, side, sometimes knee (see difference between Freeze and Pose). A freeze could have multiple platforms: The platform of a Tri-pod Headstand would be 2 hands and a head. The platform of a Baby Freeze is also 2 hands and a head, but the body is horizontal rather than vertical as in a Headstand.
- Stab (breakdance move): The act of stabbing the elbow up into the abs, hip, side, or back. Your hands are on the floor holding your body up horizontally off the ground. Your entire body is balanced on that elbow making your fore-arm the fulcrum and is your primary support. Stabs are not required for all freezes; however, it is basic and a foundational requirement to advance to a greater level of moves and freezes. note: Stabs are required for: hand-glide, going into Windmill from hands, any Turtle variation (Pogos, Jackhammers), and Crab-Walks.
- Suicide: A group of finishing moves that share some similarities to the freeze but are quite distinct, involve jumping into the air and landing on back,head,shoulder etc. to appear out of control.
- Bridge: You are laying down on your back, then with your hands (up by your head) and your feet (by your bottom) on the ground, you push your hips up until you are arched like a bridge facing upwards. From a handstand you could fall backways into a bridge.

Power Moves
A Power Move is any type of move in Bboying which requires spinning and/or rotating in a way that can be done so in multiple rounds. All Power Moves (or series of a type of Power Move) can be connected in combos to form a “Power Combo”. Breakers that use mostly Power combos in there sets are commonly known as “Power Heads”. Example: Flare-Air Flare-Elbow Air Flare-Air Flare-1990…etc Or-Air Flare 1.5-Babymill-Windmill-Swipe-Windmill-Halo-Headspin…etc The possible number of combinations are endless and only limited by stamina, strength and imagination. On American reality series America’s Best Dance Crew, Ronnie from Super Cr3w & Full Force, performed a combination,with these moves in this order: Elbow Air Flare-Munchmill-Gorillas. Shane Sparks recalled hearing, there are only four people in the world that can do that combination. In 2002 The Guinness Book of World Records began tracking number of power move rotations for their world record standings. At that time Canadian Gregory Burbidge broke records for Air Flare, Headspins, and Elbow Airflares. American Lauren Jacob held the record for Chair Flares. American Laura Derrick held the record for Tappingmills. Nicole Jones (nationality unknown) held the record for Munch Airflares. In 2004 Guinness removed these titles from their records. At the time Gregory Burbidge was the only one who still held records from the original group.
- Air Flare An advance powermove starting from a 1990 or windmill or halo or headspin position. The bboy goes into a handstand with his body diagnal to the ground and legs spread out into a V-shape. The legs are swung, like windmills/halos, in a circular motion. Using the momentum, the bboy switches from arm to arm as the body rotates in the air. The most difficult part of this move is the switching of the arms (while in the air)while the back of the bboy is facing the ground(the circular leg swing is most important in a hand transfer). It is recommended that this move is tried on mats with a supervisor.

A variation of baby freeze and backspin and sometimes called a ‘Continuous Backspin’ by the Old Skool.
- Superman/Bellymills: A variant of the windmill where the arms are streched out, like Superman, while the torso rotates on the chest/stomach.
- Criticals:The first full 360 degree rotation movement is done from a turtle or crab position.

- Back 2 Back:* The Back 2 Back involves 2 people X & Y. X & Y stand facing each other (over 5 feet apart). X bends over bending his knees slightly and can rest his elbows on his knees (head must be down). Y runs at X and puts his hands on his shoulders and flips himself onto X’s back and does a tumble while on his back and with his legs in a 4 shape. He hops and lands with the leg that was bent behind on the ground and the other leg pointing straight out. The breaker points one hand in the air and bounces on and off each foot while turning in a circle.
- Boomerang Flip- Do a quarter backflip, then turn it into a butterfly kick.
- Broncos/Donkey Kicks: The breaker starts in a hand stand, kicking their legs and pushing off with their arms at the same time sending their feet on an impossible mission. The goal is to spend as much time in the air before their feet touches the ground. When their feet touches, the breaker bounces immediately off their toes, sending their upper body back towards the ground. When their hands touches, they repeats from step two and get a fly bounce going.
- Frogs: You do the same motion as a Bronco, but you land in the turtle position, then you bounce back up and do the same thing over and over.
- Butterfly twist: A Wushu move sometimes incorporated into breakdancing, dip into a 360 horizontal twist.
- Flash Kick – A backflip with body flat, except legs are spread facing forward.
- The bug: Your hands are rapidly pushing yourself along the ground. Start kneeling then place your head on the ground. Then start pushing along. The faster the hand movements, the better the bug.
- Butterfly 2?: Step hard like you’re going to jump really high forward. Then jump up really high in a diagonal direction and become horizontal in the air. Now, while still airborne, (you should be facing the ground) bend your back inward so your stomach is sticking toward the ground. At the same time, extend your arms behind you, close to your knees. Now snap out of it so that your legs are in a “V” shape and your arms are close to your chest to support your fall. Land with your arms in a push-up position.
- Butterfly fly Run toward a hard object like a wall of a building. Then kick hard toward the object then take another step up and then spin around 90 degrees then spin in the air like a butterfly kick but spinning.
- Caterpillar: synonymous with the Worm.
- Fly & Roll: A B boy/B girl jumps forward “flies” forward, hits the ground, and rolls ending up back on their feet. This move can be done between two people.
- Headglide/Icey Ice: With one elbow in your side, hand on the ground, your head slides around your supporting hand like a compass.
- Headspring: A kick up executed from a kneeling position, going to the head and kiping up. Basiclly a handspring using your head.

- Gainer Flash – A gainer but legs are like in the flash kick.
- Leghop/Thread: Bend your weakest leg in front of your strongest, creating a figure-4 with your legs. Use the opposite hand to grab the toes of that weakest leg. This should form a circle through which you will jump. Jump as high as possible with your strong leg. Quickly scrunch it up to your chest, bring it over and through your leg-hand circle, and shoot it straight again to catch yourself before you fall to the ground. Legitimate leghops leave the leg-hand circle unbroken throughout the jump. It helps to bend over a little rather than stand totally erect. Some b-boys may repeatedly jump back and forth through the gap.
- Rocket: Go into a 6-step and go into a helicopter/coffee grinder and as soon as you jump with your crouched foot in a rotation, you jump as high as you can with your crouched foot straight in the air (you can use your hands if you want) and as you go up, swing your leg back under your foot before you land for another rotation.
- Rolls: The b-boy starts in all four with feet wide apart. Now he takes his right hand and throws it over to his left side so that his hands are with the same width that you would do a handstand in. Now he lifts his right leg off the ground, and kicks up into a handstand, with his legs bent and then jumps off of the hands and back onto the ground in the crab position. The body is twisted like a swipe.
- Skyscraper: The b-boy gets into handstand position. he lifts his left hand off the ground and moves it back. The right hand is planted to the ground. Then, once he gets her left hand moving backwards, his body will turn to the hand. Then he picks up the right hand and moves it more or less next to the left hand and the body will turn still. Then she moves his left hand backwards again, and he is facing the opposite direction.
- Solar Eclipse/Hand Hops: Hopping in a one-handed hand stand while rotating and kicking your legs.

- Emerican Crab: From a standing position, jump fairly high then kick your both legs up then with your hands rapidly tuck your hands under your groin then do a back flip. Then fall on your back lightly then flip up to a crab stance then from that keep your crab stance and flip on your head then land back to a crab stance then go back on your head. Repeat.
- Gainer/Gaynor: A backflip executed while running forward.
- Corkscrew: A difficult move in which the breaker jumps into the air, becomes completely horizontal, and completes 540 degrees sideways rotations before landing back on his feet.

Information and communication technologies economic impact
In recent decades distributed incorporation of ICTs into many tiers of activity, political processes and mundane living has caused important restructuring of the planetary frugality. ICTs mortal enlarged international interconnectedness and sped up the touch of globalization. They tally been instrumental in the message gyration, facilitating the transformation from unskilled economies, motivated by the manufacturing sector, to noes-is economies.
ICTs, in alignment with globalization and the content turn, someone reshaped the manpower. By maximizing the loco mote of socialism connection ICTs feature enabled corporations to outsource jobs, both in the manufacturing as cured as adolescent collar sectors. Patch this lowers production costs and as a ensue the value of goods, it has also had fundamental and ofttimes harmful impacts on dig conditions.
Outsourcing causes geographic fragmentation of artifact chains, in which creation of artifact occurs in differentiated plants in assorted locations, oftentimes traversing multinational boundaries. Locations with no or lowest restrictions on consequence, rectification and entitlements for workers therefor transmute economically cunning as sites of creation. This can steer to the utilization of workers in developing countries and counter mine the bargaining country of unionized grind in formed countries.
Despite the global spread of ICTs the system impacts screw been geographically uneven. They change exacerbated pre-existing disparities between industrial countries, which can afford to food and ingest the last technologies and nonindustrial countries, which cannot. This gap is noted as the digital change.

Misconception about Jihad
What really irks me is this whole concept of Islamophobia, where ignorant westerners complain of living their lives in utter fear because Muslims may blow up their homes and institutions. Utter Rubbish! If that were the case, then why are their so many non-muslims in the entire Arabian Gulf. Take the case of Qatar: Has any non-muslim been tortured here? Any killed savagely in the name of holy war or Jihad?
Jihad these days has been given a new dimension by the non-muslims-a holy war against non-muslims. Wrong Ladies and Gentlemen. The Jihad that is required of every Muslim is to struggle in upholding their faith-like wearing the hijab even when the westerners guffaw-praying five times a day even when there’s so much mundane work to get done, etc. Jihad is not a military campaign to wipe out non-muslims. The military campaign aspect of Jihad is permissible only when non-muslims provoke or declare a war against the Muslim community. There’s no such thing as pre-emptive strike in Islam.
Just because a bunch of disillusioned people are planting bombs, and coincidentally, they are muslims, don’t mean Islam endorses killing innocent non-muslims just because of their faith. Infact, killing innocents, regardless of their faith, warrants capital punishment in the Islamic Sha’ariah.
If we muslims are so aggressive and incompatible with changing times, why are the civilised Jews behaving like barbarians in Palestine? And ironically these Zionists also have a million civilised proponents in the rest of the world.

Hurled off the Cliff
All alone I stand on this towering cliff
A chilly wind for company.
My face frozen, numb; my lungs cold and stiff;
My hitherto comrades, friends, family
All lost to my eyes in the valleys below.
I can hear my family’s voices echo discretely:
“You’ll fall.” “Shall I?” I wonder in my head
The only part functional in the numbness
Beside my heart, pounding, “You won’t”
Against my ribs. My ribs almost crack,
Or so I feel as I can hear my heart
Pounding faster, screaming louder.
I try to maintain my balance
Amidst all the silent commotion within me.
My foot stumbles, hurls me off the top.
Down I go, down I go screamlessly,
The weather’s getting warmer. The only question in my head:
“Will I die? Or will I survive the fall?”
With survival in my head, I swirl towards the ground.
I’m still falling. Though I yearn for the cliff
This time with friends and family around me, I know that’s
Far-fetched. Least I must yearn for
Is survival. Maybe someday,
I’ll clamber to the top once more.
(Dedicated to all those who hit the rock bottom and yet yearned to keep their heads above water.)

Ethical issues in management
When we talk about ethics or ethical issues in a managerial science which means that we as a manager or inspiring to be a manger are going to influence ethical behavior in our employees or we would be treated as a role model of an ethical behavior. So let us first begin with some definitions of the terms being used above. One definition of the term ethics in this context as I speak of it will be:
“A set of moral principles or values that define right and wrong for a person or a group”
Now coming back to ethical issues and the role of ethics in management, firstly making ethical decisions are just in the nature of a manager’s job; think of one as a manager or inspiring to be a manager has authority and power. So therefore, the fact remains that because one has authority and power; one can influence his staff to do things either appropriately so or not appropriately so or handling information or what ever the case may be. For example you may see that lot of our jobs today include handling sensitive information like ‘credit card’ information or a sensitive ‘medical information’, ‘social security number’, ‘NIC number’, drivers license and god know what else that one needs to handled it in an ethical way and if not certain ethical issues may arise.
• People constantly bothered by telemarketers and other sales personnel.
•Misuse or manipulation of information that might lead to blackmailing, etc.
• Privacy act disturbed.
• Selling important company information to its competitors (weaknesses).

So if we look it this way, management set goals or at least persuades employees to set goals and that’s when they do their jobs in way we want them to. Now if we set those goal in a way that we set our employees to fail in a particular task and we do that knowingly, this is unethical decision on our part creating an ethical dilemma. See here in the nature of management and its ethical aspects as an employees point of view its has also got encouraged behaviors like we’ve seen resources of a company for say ‘business only’ and were not sealing the posted notes and the pens or even other bigger things from the business.
The essence of the ethical behavior and issues as I have mentioned time and again from my participation in the class is that, “ignorance cannot be treated as an excuse for acting unethically or conducting an unethical behavior”. The fact of the matter thus remains that companies can be prosecuted and punished even if management didn’t knew about the unethical behaviors. Think of a situation, where due to addition in technology, an employee may put up a camera in some place where a person reasonably expects to be private like for say a ‘dressing room’ maybe and after that, then some customer of his comes and notices a camera there and the fact that he had been filmed. Though management may not have known about it, but what the sentencing Pakistan penal court may say is, “management should have known about that” so not only will that end up as the employee being sued but the management being sued right along with it, even though the company didn’t condone or encourage to act on such kind of a behavior.
It thus becomes essential for the management to behave in a proactive manner and save themselves from such ethical issues; they need to be looking out for matters like these and not to wait until some thing like this to happen to them. It could be a bunch of offences or ethical issues from embezzlement to extortion from prize fixing to fraud, invasion of your privacy and etc…

What is affiliate marketing?

Affiliate Marketing is a process of sharing profit revenue between you (website owner) and an online merchant. To do this you require a website which is either editable if hosted by some other website or your own (preferred). After that all you have to do is embed the codes which turn out to be ads on the design layout for different merchants. Doing this you (website owner) is providing the merchant more opportunities to either sell their product. Or send heavy traffic to their sites. Resulting in merchant’s popularity and high rank in search engines. The basic concept is that by doing this you (website owner) is paid a certain amount of commission generated through your website. Plain and simple
There are three ways to earn money through affiliate marketing:
Pay Per Click — Every time a potential customer is diverted towards the merchant website, a certain amount of money is deposited in to your affiliate account without further validation. This amount is usually very low probably in pennies, cents etc.
Pay Per Sale — The moment a client buys a certain product from the merchant and had been referred by you through the merchant adds placed on your website a calculated percentage of the sale is deposited into your affiliate account as commission.
Pay Per Lead — Every time a potential client who most likely is interested in the product registers at the merchant’s website as a result of the advertisement on your website, a predetermined amount is deposited into your affiliate account.
This process is favorable to both the advertiser and the merchant.
The advertiser can earn easily without actually having to do anything in particular other then placing ads on his website. Whereas the merchant get to have free advertisement and increased sales opportunity resulting in high revenues by only parting a minute amount of it which goes to the advertiser.
However please be advised though affiliate marketing has many advantages there are certain fall backs to it as well.
For merchants:
Very often advertisers try to make sales and generate more profit by negative means. This can either by false advertising or fall info given by them to the clients which may lead to bad reputation of the merchant. Doing this the merchant has to take steps in order to cover up the damage which of course is a hectic task.
For advertisers:
You may end up frustrated, upset and with very little profit if you do not investigate the merchant thoroughly and fill up all the doubts on the back of your head. Because if not the merchant you choose may not be reliable or strong resulting in payment delays or no payment at all. Or the merchant you choose does not value in the market and just in case you have PPC process going on the revenue generated will only be in pennies causing you total loss. Or in PPS fewer sales then you expect.
So both the merchant and affiliate is well advice to study each other thoroughly before starting the process in order to develop a long and strong relationship in future. And after that all you can do is to sit back and let the profit roll in. Affiliate marketing is considered one of the best ways to earn money online.

Fear our biggest issue today!!!
From early childhood, especially for those born in the last few generations, modern children have been bombarded with it. At the earliest age I can remember, I remember fear least, but here it is.
Amygdala is the part of brain which control emotions like fear, thirst and sexual arousal. That’s why when we are afraid we feel our throats dried up. And when we are afraid due to chemical changes in our brain we appear more attractive towards our opposite sex. It has been proved afraid women gain 82% percent of men attention and 18 percent of women. It has been observed that our instant decision making at the time when we’re afraid is 75% more than anger.
Fear guides us out of bed, for fear of pressing the snooze button once to many. Fear guides us to make ourselves perfect in order to be accepted. Fear guides many of us to our vices. It takes our soul out of our work by driving us faster, and dumber. Fear leads us down paths that feel like pulling a scab off. There are those that let them fall you know!
Fear takes our hopes away when it steers us away from opportunities. Fear guides those that try to convert you. It tells them what they must have and shall do to achieve it. Fear is the nature of part good and part bad. It turns just according to your thinking. Fear can be a blessing in disguise and a destruction that is pretty much tangible.
Fear guides those who tell you there is no God as they are running away from the simple fact of his existence and trying hard to make you believe the same just to make themselves feel good. Fear guides those who think there is God and preaches you the same in order to fulfill their vow towards God to spread the knowledge as far as they can.
Fear can never let go if we don’t learn to accept the facts and embrace it. And because of that we are prevented from having the good too. Fear guides those who change there believes because they thought they were wrong. Fear guides those to the right steps who fear the Day of Judgment and life here after. Fear guides the lost the lonely and the innocent. If the innocence is because you fear loneliness or lost when in love.
In early stages and past we were afraid of thing we didn’t know about and thing we couldn’t see or had no possible explanation of but in this modern world we fear our children, our very existence and our end.
So if we can agree that fear guides almost everyone. The devout, the atheist, the lonely and the innocent. This shows us all that we have created a broken circle. It all comes to “you”. If you choose to accept both side. Accept the darkness and the light, accept the pain, sorrow, love and happiness then we finally complete the circle and be as one.
