LiquiGlide
This is a bottle invention by LiquiGlide. LiquiGlide created bottles made out of glass and plastic. The bottles were created to improve the flow rate of bottles so it can prevent clogs in the bottles. LiquiGlide lets the solid be added into the bottle, it traps the material, the second material added is a liquid material that creates the solid be able to slide through the bottle. The liquid material is edible, it does nothing to the solid and it does not affect the solids taste.
This is a great idea because most bottles have a problem because when you turn a bottle to the side, the solid clogs up in the bottle. For an example, a ketchup bottle has to be hit on the bottom a couple of times for it to release the solid. The problem in this design is, what if you slide the liquiglide bottle but forget that it slides so easily that you release all the solid liquid onto your plate. It can be messy, but sure the plastic container, or a cap with a little hole release liquid can help.

Beat's Pill
This is the Dr. Dre's beats pill. The pill itself came out back in 2012. It is a portable, bluetooth speaker. The idea of a pill comes a capsule since Beat's once were owned by Dr. Dre. Hence the name, "Dr". The pill is 7.7 inches in length. It uses bluetooth to connect to a device, it also includes audio input and output jacks. They released Beats Characters which are the figures above the image of the pills. The characters head and arms can be moved around so they fit the person. You stick the pill inside the characters mouth and it holds the pill.
The idea of making the pill look like a capsule is kind of ironic because the creator of beats calls himself a doctor. This was the first product released after Beat's left Monster Cable. The design of a capsule should have been a square or a box that can possibly produce more sound. The pill itself has no bass at all, some people enjoy listening to their music with the bass. The pill also comes at a ridiculous price of 200 dollars, when their beat earphones can be bought at 100.

Let's play basketball
This is a basketball, it is an inflated ball that is used for the game of basketball. Most basketballs that are used to play the game are made from leather, or rubber. Some balls come inflated, which they have a small opening where air pressure be added into the ball to make it a round service. A standard size of a basketball in the league can be from 29.5 to 29.875 inches. The game was created in 1891. When everyone sees the ball they recognize the sport automatically, the ball is not unique there are other several round balls.
The idea of using a basketball for the game of basketball is basic fundamentals. No other balls is able to be used indoors or outdoors and still be able to bounce. Most indoor balls have to be broken into, meaning that the ball has to be used a couple of times indoors because it has more bounce then usual balls. A indoor ball can be used outside as well and it also provides the same bounce it would inside.
Football.
This is a football, it is used for the game of american football. The football itself can be used by many people to play catch with. It can be used during kid's, middle school, high school, college, semi pro, professional football games. The football can be used outdoors, inside, rain or shine. Most people use it to play catch outside on a afternoon, or at a tailgate waiting for the game. There are many places in the world that have not felt the ball itself. They possibly have watched the game played on television but have not played itself.
The ball has gone from different versions from it first started in 1869. It has changed because the game has been more popular over the years, so they made it fit the game better. The ball itself is made out of leather. The leather is brown, which is used in all professional and college games. When it's elementary sports, the ball is different colors. Also referred to as a pigskin.
The only problem there is with the football is that is not a bouncing ball. Such as other sport balls, if bounced on the floor they would bounce up. If a football is bounced on a floor it bounces back but to a side. The ball is a different version around the world such as in Canadian leagues and Australian leagues.

Farmers Field?
Farmers Field is potentially the next home for the next Los Angeles football team. Los Angeles has not had a football team in Los Angeles since the Rodney King incident that made the Raiders go back to Oakland and the Rams back to St. Louis. However, with both teams contracts being up at end of the year with there stadiums there is hope for a team in Los Angeles once again. Farmers Field is the proposed stadium right behind the Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles.
The stadium is currently on hold because there is no team currently in Los Angeles. It would be completed by 2017 if the NFL agrees on moving a team back to Los Angeles. It will make jobs for the community, and boost our economy. The idea of making a stadium in downtown Los Angeles does not suck. Yes, this would make more traffic for people on the 10 Freeway. However think about all the positive about having a team in one of the biggest city's in the United States. It will be a fun thing for Los Angeles since we have two of each sport, why not have at least one football team.

Less Stress.
The billboard is a HIV awareness billboard from AHF (Aids Healthcare Foundation). The billboard itself is used to inform people that AHF offers free HIV test. Passing by the billboard, people who have not been tested for HIV and are interested to know if they have HIV or not can simply log on to the website and make an appointment with their doctors. The billboard features a sleeping bulldog that looks happy sleeping. The idea is to encourage people to go and get tested. For some people this can be the first step in the right path. Many people have HIV and they are not aware of it. The bulldog plays the image of being less stress by knowing that you do not have HIV. However, there is difficulty seeing the comparisons between HIV and using a sleeping bulldog. Some people will understand the message while others would be questioning it.

Didn't you know?
The advertisement above is a combination of three different ad's that promote women as sexual objects. American Apparel has a women with her legs wide open, and with a bold message that says Now Open. (Hmmm, I wonder what exactly is open?) The second ad is of a tattooed woman who is appears to be naked underneath her hijab. The third ad is of a women pressing her breast along a cologne by Tom Ford.
Who are the messages intended for? Men. What other way to grab a mans attention without using beer, or sports.
Women over the years have been viewed as sex objects when it comes to using them on advertisements. Most men will take a look into cologne by Tom Ford just because the image excited them. When seeing the first image what other message is American Apparel trying to send with its title that says Now Open in Arial font than sex sells. You view the image of the women and most men tend to think oh, I should look into going to American Apparel clothing.
The second ad is of a women in a hijab. A hijab is a veil that covers up the head and most time the chest of Muslim women around other men who are not there husband or family. The message from the second ad is not mostly intended for men but for Muslim women to be proud to show off there skin. Most Muslim women can not do that because of there religion views.
The third ad is by Tom Ford, which is a upper scale of men clothing. What exactly is the message saying? Besides with the simple, buy the cologne you will get women to lust for you.

Winning Takes Care of Everything.
The image above is an advertisement of Nike featuring world famous golf star Tiger Woods. Tiger Woods once was considered the world's best golfer, but since late 2009 he has not been the same player. Tiger was caught in a big sex scandal which eventually affected his play.
Till this day he has not been the same player.
Nike is recognized by the swoosh. Nike has also been one of Tiger's biggest supporters over the years. Back in early 2013 this advertisement was posted on social media accounts, when Tiger reached the ranking of number one golfer in the world (a title he did not have for almost 3 years.) The ad itself is trying to intend a message to people. A message that received a backlash for trying to promote just win and the world will forget all about your wrong doings.
Nike's idea of trying to promote that winning takes care of everything is a solid advertisement. Most people will tend to disagree since it causes controversy, however we live in a society where many people are like that. Sports wise, if you are a convicted killer but still can play some ball, people will still buy your jersey. There will always be people calling for your head on social media accounts, but at the end of the day winning does take care of everything.
