Owning The Top Pick In The NBA Draft Often Pays Off
By Ryan Rapoport May 20, 2015
Tuesday night, with so many teams vying for the top pick, the Minnesota Timberwolves won the NBA Draft Lottery and now own the coveted first overall selection in the 2015 draft. By all accounts, the Wolves will take either Duke center Jahlil Okafor or Kentucky center Karl – Anthony Towns.
Over the years, getting the top pick has been extremely important. Recent history shows that in most cases the number one selection is usually very good. And in some cases, number ones even turn out to be transcendent players.
Below is a list of the best top picks still active in the NBA and the teams that drafted them.
1997 - Tim Duncan – San Antonio Spurs: five-time NBA Champion & three-time NBA Finals MVP
2003 - LeBron James - Cleveland Cavaliers: four-time MVP & two-time NBA Champion
2004 - Dwight Howard – Orlando Magic: eight-time All-Star & three-time Defensive Player of the Year
2008 - Derrick Rose – Chicago Bulls: 2011 MVP & three-time All-Star
2009 - Blake Griffin – Los Angeles Clippers: five-time All-Star & 2011 Rookie of the Year
2010 - John Wall – Washington Wizards: two-time All-Star
2011 - Kyrie Irving – Cleveland Cavailers: three-time All-Star & 2012 Rookie of the Year
2012 - Anthony Davis – New Orleans Pelicans: two-time All-Star
2014 - Andrew Wiggins – Minnesota Timberwolves: 2015 Rookie of the Year

Generating small business leads using pay-per-click ads can be very challenging. In fact, paying for leads can make you really rich or get away from business. Google earns a lot of money every year thanks to pay-per-click ads. Most of the money you get from these ads did not generate a single revenue increase for the companies or entrepreneurs who bought them. However, there are some people in the business world who pay some money to Google and generate millions of dollars in return. They do not generate this type of income by chance. These entrepreneurs only have a better strategy than those who end up losing money with pay-per-click ads.
The uninformed entrepreneur says, "I'm not making money from my website because nobody comes to my website, so I'll invest in pay-per-click ads and this will make me earn money." No, this will cost you hundreds or thousands of dollars each week with a minimum, if anything, return on your investment. Effective advertising leverages or enlarges the performance you are already receiving from your current sales channels. If your website does not generate leads or business for you before investing in advertising, then you will maximize the zero return. 300% of zero is still zero.
Most people use pay-per-click ads as a starting point and, when they do, they will almost always lose money. They are betting their company capital on an untested experiment. It would be like buying a thoroughbred and running down the track and wagering a lot of money on your horse's first run. Yes, you should know your horse, but your horse is not tested against other horses. However, if your horse wins its first three races, you may want to invest a little in its fourth.
Your website is the same way. Develop your website where you are generating contacts and sales from these leads. Then, one has a successful track record, invests in pay-per-click ads. So you're betting on a sure thing.
Test. So try others. So, once tested, try everything again.
The informed entrepreneur says, "I've finally had the opportunity to generate new leads from the Internet, and now I want to take advantage of the success I'm getting at the moment." Now you can create an informed budget for your pay-per-click advertising.
Here is a very simplified example. If you are generating 10 leads a week from your website and you are averaging by closing one of these leads for $ 100 in revenue and $ 25 in profit, then you may be able to pay only $ 2.50 for break-even leads. Remember that just because someone clicks on your pay-per-click link does not mean they will contact you and become leads. If you have a great website, you may be able to turn one in ten clicks into leads, so you can pay no more than $ 0.25 per tie-off. So the pay-per-click has not worked for you yet. You should increase revenue per customer, or profit margin, or closing ratio (or all three) to make cost-per-click more convenient for you.
If you invest in an e-mail follow-up system and generate the same 10 leads per week, you could turn three of these leads into customers this time. Since you are now able to build a long-term relationship with your leads, you may be able to group some of your products together and generate an increase in sales revenue and increase your average sales to $ 300. this, the cost per lead decreases drastically. Now for every sale you are generating $ 100 of profit. With three sales in ten leads, you generate a total profit of $ 300. Now you can afford to pay $ 30 per lead, so with the same ten clicks as a lead, you could pay up to $ 3 per click. If you can get quality clicks for only $ 1 each, you will triple your pay-per-click investment.
So forget cold calls and spam, use your website to get more contacts to call you, then use pay-per-click to take advantage of your success and you will generate a great success through the lead generation of small companies.
Once you have a great website and a follow-up system, you can now do it in some ads. Remember that the goal is NOT to make people click on your ad. The goal is to get people who will buy something from you to click on your ad. For example, if I enter & ldquo; One in every 100 that clicks on this link will get $ 1000, & rdquo; I got a lot of clicks. However, none of them would have bought anything from me, so I lost a lot of money. Or, if I'm a local dentist in Frisco, Texas, and post an ad that says "Free Tips for Teeth Whitening", rdquo; I will also have many clicks, but few sales. Most people who click only want free suggestions, and very few of them will be in my neighborhood. A better advertisement would say something like "Frisco, TX Dentist" Free tooth cleaning with the first whitening treatment. "If you do not want to go to a dentist in Frisco, TX, you're less likely to click on that link. People who click on the link are probably good prospects for you.
You will always have dull skulls that click on your links even if they do not need or want something you are promoting, but you will have fewer people clicking on your paid links looking for something other than what you are offering.
So, if you want to generate more leads for your small business using pay-per-click, first make your website and follow-up system solid, then use effective ads to target the specific market that will buy your services.

There is a reason why is the leasing CMS used to build websites both for personal use, personal branding and enterprise level.

Does your child lash out or scrap his room when he gets crazy? Here's how to help him deal with his tough emotions and discontinue his bad behavior.
Dash around the living room or main room in your home 50 times or any number o f times. He will be in a restricted space, the counting will divert him and he will soon get exhausted.
Go into a blocked area (like the bathroom or a big closet or the basement) and scream at the top of his voice. This provides him with a safe place to vent without shouting out at younger siblings or any other member of the family.
Karate-chop a big portion of wrapping paper. It creates a satisfying ripping noise and makes him feel influential. Go out and make faces at you through the window.
Sprint around the house and repeat. After a few times, this is liable to melt into a giggling fit.
Throw mud at a tree. He will get muddled, but he can't hurt anything.
So, through these easy ways you can control the anger of your kid.

Matty Fusaro
Social Media Celebrity, Online Coach, Sponsored Athlete, Entrepreneur
Matty Fusaro, also known as 'Fusaro Fitness', is well known for his lean, shredded physique. Ever since he started his YouTube channel in 2011, he's become an internet sensation – growing a substantial online following over the years.
However, things weren't always sunshine and rainbows for Matty. Despite his consistent training in the gym, Matty's poor eating habits soon caught up with him, as he began to gain weight rapidly throughout his late teens. Consequently, Matty's self-confidence took a downward tumble.
But one day, Matty set out to make a change in his life, after he became unhappy with his body. Just a few years later, Matty was able to build the great physique he's now famed for.
After he reached his own fitness goals, Matty has dedicated his life to helping others follow in his footsteps – becoming an online training and nutrition coach to achieve just that. Further down the line, he became a sponsored athlete – which allowed him to move to the next level in his fitness career.
This is his story:
Full Name: Matty Fusaro

Social Media Celebrity
Matty's Fitness Beginnings
Born in Long Island, New York in 1987, Matty Fusaro has been involved within fitness since his youth, taking part in a variety of competitive sports throughout his high school years.
Matty began to lift weights at the age of 17, developing an interest in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. But at the start, Matty admits that he didn't take his training in the gym seriously. In his own words: "I never really trained with purpose or intention; it was just a hobby".
During this period, Matty paid little to no attention to his diet, which caused him to gain a huge amount of weight – regardless of the fact he trained in the gym on a regular basis.
Soon enough, Matty reached a point in his life where his weight gain caused him to feel unhappy about the way he looked. Consequently, his self-esteem was lower than ever. Here's Matty recalling this time:
"Going into my Senior year of high school, I realized it was time to change my life. My wardrobe consisted of 15 hoodies because I was too insecure to wear a t-shirt most of the time".
Matty Fusaro before compared to how he looks now.
Further down the road, Matty made the decision to gather a collection of 'before' photos, which gave him the motivation to move on from insecurities about his body.
However, Matty's poor fitness knowledge quickly became a problem, as he initially failed to make progress. As Matty said: "I went through a few phases of diet obsessions, over eating and under eating, but as time went on I continued to learn".
After a while, Matty developed a deeper understanding of fitness, after he conducted research about training and nutrition. From this point, training in the gym was no longer just a hobby for Matty, it became so much more.
As Matty says: "Fitness and health became a priority in my life and I loved the challenge of building my education, surrounding myself with positivity and always working hard to improve my quality of life".
Becoming a Social Media Celebrity
As a result of his determination, Matty quickly made significant progress in his quest to lose weight – building a great physique in the process. Immensely proud of his achievements, Matty looked back on just how far he'd come since the start of his fitness journey. As Matty says: "It felt damn good to go back into that folder of before pictures and visually see the transformation".
After he began to share his story online with others, Matty's videos on his YouTube channel soon racked up the views. As a result of this, Matty became determined to provide his fitness expertise to others – setting up his own online coaching business.
It didn't take long for Matty's business venture to take off. This allowed him to positively influence the lives of others, helping them to reach all of their fitness goals. In Matty's own words: "My mission is to inspire people to become the strongest version of themselves mentally and physically".
Mixture of Training Methods
Matty trains in the gym five days per week, giving himself two rest days. He works with different training phases, which adds variety to his workouts. In turn, this keeps Matty motivated to continually build upon his shredded physique. Regardless of the training phase he's in, Matty's workout sessions are always of a high intensity.
Here's Matty talking about his training methods:
"I follow a mix of DUP (daily undulating periodization), Russian strength methods, tempo training, and exercise sequencing".
Below is a list of the common exercises which Matty performs in the gym:
Matty's Common Exercises
Barbell Hip Thrusts
Prone Raises
Face Pulls
Leg Curls
Chest Flyes
Matty follows a 'flexible diet', which is commonly known as IIFYM. Although this allows him to treat himself to foods which are considered 'unhealthy', Matty ensures that 80% of his diet is based on clean, whole foods – allowing his body to absorb essential muscle-building nutrients.
Matty's Diet Staples
The foods which Matty eats most often are listed below – consisting of healthy fats, lean proteins, and complex carbohydrates:
Lean Beef / Turkey
Supplement Stack
Here's the supplements which Matty consumes daily to continually build lean muscle:
Matty has learned to become a self-motivated individual throughout his fitness career, driven by the solid results that his hard work and determination delivers. As Matty himself said:
"Waking up every morning is enough motivation for me. I refuse to live a mediocre life, so I am always looking for new ways to challenge myself mentally and physically to set myself apart from the average. The ability to take control of my own life drives me to always put forth 110% effort in everything I do".
One of the sporting icons who Matty greatly admires is Muhammad Ali, who sadly passed away in 2016. Here's Matty talking about one of his idols:
"He was a character of wit, an icon to many and he always believed in himself no matter what and I respect his attitude".
What we can learn from Matty Fusaro
What we can learn from Matty Fusaro is that his 'never give up' attitude allowed him to go far in his fitness career – overcoming his low self-esteem along the way. Because of his determination to live his life more positively, he was able to sculpt the incredible physique he'd always dreamed of.
If there's one thing we can take from Matty's story, it's that it takes time to reach your fitness goals. The keys to success come in the form of patience and consistency. In Matty's own words: "Fitness should enhance your life, not take away from it" – Matty Fusaro

River City Ransom: Underground's bike plans
Posted 9 years ago by Jonathan Holmes
What that… peabrain?
I check the River City Ransom: Underground Kickstarter everyday in hopes for the announcement of new features and/or that they've met their funding. Every once in a while I find something new on the page that was either added while I wasn't looking, or was too deeply embedded in all the other joyous delights for me to notice it. Case in point, this .gif of River City's two aged heroes on a bike that will look mighty familiar to all of you refugees from Neo Tokyo.
There had been no word up until now that the game would contain vehicular combat or fast travel, so I reached out to the devs for comment. Their plan is to try to get bikes in the game in some capacity, stating "the original Kunio-kun title Renegade had a Bōsōzoku element to it (as did Akira), so we'd like to have some biker gang homage in our game as well", and they're "thinking of short-lived vehicles too like bicycles, as well as public transit options since River City is much bigger than it used to be."
They've even got a Grand Theft Bicycle-concept they're playing with, where "Short-term vehicles like bicycles can be purchased or stolen. Stealing will get the authorities involved, if noticed by citizens and successfully reported. Key word: successfully". None of that is set in stone though, as it will all be "tricky because if you're playing four players, what happens if one person can't keep up. —you can halt the screen or knock the other players off their bikes, but what will 'play' the best?"
I'll be scouring for more details as soon as I can, but in the meantime, I'll rest easy knowing that the team at Conatus Creative have seemingly endless passion for River City Ransom, and the know-how to channel that passion into an amazing game.

LSPR WOMENPRENEUR WITH BHAYANGKARI METRO BEKASI KOTA
Bekasi – Appreciation of the talent and skills of mothers in the Metro Bekasi City neighborhood was arranged by the LSPR Communication & Business Institute together with the Centre for ASEAN Creative Development Studies (CACS) to commemorate Mother's Day, in collaboration with Bhayangkari, the Metro Bekasi City branch. The event entitled Womenpreneur which was attended by the Bhayangkari mothers, was held at the LSPR Transpark Bekasi campus, Thursday, December 26, 2019. More than 50 administrators and members of the Bhayangkari Metro Bekasi Kota branch enthusiastically participated in the activity with the aim of becoming a successful Womenpreneur in the future.

LSPR with Bhayangkari Metro Bekasi Kota
Running various businesses among the Bhayangkari mothers aims to ensure a better life for the family. Chairman, of the Bekasi Metro Bekasi branch Bhayangkari, Youce Indarto stressed that every woman has talent that can be used as the main capital to start a business". In addition to supporting our husband's activities, we wives who are members of Bhayangkari are also encouraged as much as possible to develop and run various businesses. The goal is for families to have better welfare", he said.
Mrs. Prita Kemal Gani & Mrs. Youce Indarto
The Womenpreneur event was opened by the Founder & CEO of LSPR Communication & Business Institute Prita Kemal Gani MBA, MCIPR, APR. In her presentation, Prita shared the experiences of young entrepreneurs who have dared to start a business from something small and part of their daily lives. "Dreams are the initial key in starting a business, besides that having leadership skills, understanding the passion and unique selling points of products or services produced in a business, are some things that should be owned by an entrepreneur", said Prita in her speech at the Womenpreneur event.
Present as resource persons in the panel discussions were Deputy Rector III of LSPR Taufan Teguh Akbari, Ph.D, Deputy Head of Reputation of LSPR Sandy Adithia, LSPR Lecturer and Director of J&M Creative Agency Mahadi Asman.

Under the auspices of the LSPR Centre for ASEAN Creativepreneurship Studies (CACS) Incubation Program, in January next year several Resource Persons will again hold similar activities with more detailed and applicable topics. LSPR CACS Incubation is part of the LSPR institution and a support unit that provides several programs to guide, foster and accelerate the level of business success, especially in the creative industry through a series of mentoring programs.

(ABK).
Sharing Sessions with Bhayangkari Metro Bekasi
LSPR hopes that the Womenpreneur activities for the Bhayangkari Mothers will further nurture the skills of women born as multitalented beings. Not only skilled in assisting the couple to achieve a trusted career, but also helped create and build a business as a family business that sustains a prosperous life. "This activity will continue to roll out and embrace all women communities, because we believe that one of the keys to family success is in the hands of women. Happy Mother's Day, stay an inspiration in the family", concluded Mrs. Prita at the end of her presentation.

Q: Cannot figure out the output in this C program for calculation of sum and average using functions I use Dev-C++ (MinGW Compiler) on a Windows 7 64-bit machine. I have written a simple program to find the sum and average of 5 integers (assuming average will be an int). Here is the code:
/*Sum and average of 5 integers*/
#include <stdio.h>

main()
{
    int a,b,c,d,e,sm,av;
    printf ("Enter any 5 integers:\n");
    scanf ("%d%d%d%d%d", &a,&b,&c,&d,&e);
    sumavg(a,b,c,d,e);
    printf ("\nSum = %d", sm);
    printf ("\nAverage = %d", av);
    getch();
}

sumavg(n,w,o,b,h)
{
     int sm = n+w+o+b+h;
     int av = sm/5;
     return(sm,av);
}

For some strange reason, the output is Sum = 2 and Average = 27, no matter what are the values of the 5 integers. Even if the average is not accurate (because it will be floating point ideally), at least the value of the sum returned should be accurate. What am I doing wrong? Thanks...

A: C needs things explained to it. It won't make the inferences many languages will. Furthermore the syntax is wrong. Let me enumerate the issues (not all of these are strictly necessary in this circumstance, but you should do them):

*

*Declare return types for your functions. int main() and for sumavg that brings us to number 2.

*C does not allow for returning multiple values that way. By that syntax, sm will be discarded (you're using a comma operator in the return statement). You should probably declare int sum() and int avg() as two separate functions.

*Declare types for your parameters. int sum(int n, int w, int o, int b, int h)

*Functions should be declared before they are called. You can do this by putting a 'prototype' at the top (the function's signature with the body replaced with a semicolon and parameters potentially unnamed): int sum(int,int,int,int,int);

*Return values are not communicated to the calling function by virtue of having the same name. You need to assign them explicitly, i.e., sm = sum(a,b,c,d,e);

A: You call a function in which you declare, and then give sm and av a value. But these variables are local variables, they have nothing to do with the ones that are in main(). If you declare a variable in a function and then you declare an other variable in an other function, these two variables are not the same, in any case, even if they have the same name. It's like people: you may have the same name than someone else, it doesn't mean that you are the same person, and it is definitely not.
To use the variables you declared in main, you could pass a pointer to them as argument of your function. Here is the prototype you would have:
void    sumavg(int a, int b, int c, int d, int e, int *sum, int *av)

You could also use 2 different functions that calculates the sum or average of all your ints, and then return the result directly into the variables of your main:
int    main(void)
{
    int a, b, c, d, e, sm, av;

    printf ("Enter any 5 integers:\n");
    scanf ("%d%d%d%d%d", &a, &b, &c, &d, &e);
    sm = get_sm(a, b, c, d, e);
    av = get_av(a, b, c, d, e);
    printf ("\nSum = %d", sm);
    printf ("\nAverage = %d", av);
    return (0);
}

For example:
int    get_sum(int a, int b, int c, int d, int e)
{
    return (a + b + c + d + e);
}

int    get_av(int a, int b, int c, int d, int e)
{
    return((a + b + c + d + e) / 5);
}

Today's going to be the last day of my shoot for kingyo. It's 3:48 am right now, and I'm off to bed soon. But while I was digitizing the footage I've shot onto a newly bought external hard disk just now, I did some screen captures of them, just to share with you all an early look of my new film. The following pics are of the three primary characters in my film, I haven't done any colour correction at all though.

Happy Friday! As you can tell, I'm gearing up for one of the biggest music festivals of the year -- Outside Lands! So excited to be seeing some of my fave artists including Phoenix, Wild Belle, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Band of Horses and more!
As for what to wear? Well, my roommie Andi and I have been wracking our brains on what to wear while still staying warm. In Golden Gate Park, it's going to be CHILLY. And when I say chilly, I mean I'd rather bring a sleeping bag to wear, but that's not really in the cards. Anyway, this is my IDEAL outfit line-up for the weekend. And of course, add in a beer from Outside Land's BeerLands.

DT DNB Features
Murdock and Dynamite MC interview each other
The announcement of Murdock's album sent shockwaves throughout the wider world of electronic music, and not just drum & bass. He's reigned supreme over the music circuit for years, heading up Belgium's Rampage Festival and helping thousands of ravers worldwide enjoy some of their favourite artists.
He's also dedicated as much of his time to his own sonic art, the type of which has already been unveiled across a variety of mainstay D&B labels. Although, for his landmark album, he returns to Viper, a label which is celebrating fifteen years of its history with an exciting addition to their catalogue. After already dropping his first single 'Holding On' earlier this summer, the electric collaboration with James Marvel, he's set to revisit 'Stronger' with brand new single 'Dark Cloud' ft. Dynamite MC.
Dynamite MC is one of the many renowned featuring artists who've made an appearance throughout Murdock's 'Stronger' LP. He adds his tell-tale vocals to a track which takes you through the darker side of Murdock's production; the flipside of records like 'Holding On'. Flipping drum patterns and a foreboding intro takes you up into its first climatic breakdown. Although not without the synths which are a signature of Murdock's production, there's a moodiness that seeps through its every layer. Murdock shows that 'Stronger' will be an exploration of the diversity he's worked on since he first began making music and this makes an appearance throughout the album. 'Holding On' and 'Dark Cloud' are just two instances of this versatility.
In this piece, Murdock and Dynamite MC took on the task of interviewing each other!
Dynamite interviewing Murdock:
D: You've been in the game for a long time, what keeps you still keen to be in the club scene?
M: There's nothing about nightlife that I don't like. When I started throwing bashes way back when, I was behind the decks, in the ticket booth, I was the sound guy, bouncer, bartender and clean-up guy when everyone had left. I like the loud music, the smoke, the electricity that's in the air because new, exciting music is being played.
D: Rampage has been a phenomenal success, one of the biggest DnB events on the planet. How did you achieve this?
M: I tried to be original, surround myself with the right people and pick up on talent before other people had. And then I had the incredible luck of being picked up by a guy (who's now my business partner), who had the network and the know-how to take this to the next level.
D: Do you think hailing from Belgium has been a disadvantage or an advantage, in terms of infiltrating the UK scene?
M: I never looked at it as infiltrating the UK scene… We have always had such a blossoming scene in Belgium that I never really felt the need to take it elsewhere. I love many different kinds of music, I have friends playing techno, hip-hop, house and what have you, and I would play d&b at one party, go rave to techno at another and close the night playing d&b somewhere else, or play d&b all night and then go to a dancehall after hours gig till way past sunrise… I remember when we were playing Petrol, and the night ended, we moved to the second room where they were still bumping roots reggae till late. Classic!
Belgium's a good spot (and there are quite a few more, of course!) and I think many UK artists will agree that playing over here is usually quite a treat.
D: You have a deep love for hip hop, this is clear. Have you ever written some rhymes? Can you rap!?
M: I should let other people be the judge of what I can or can't do, but I have been the lead MC for a band in high school! My life was about hip hop back then, so how could I not give it a go!
We were on some Smokin Suckaz Wit Logic type tip, with pretty laid back grooves from a live band (that included, among other people, one childhood friend of mine who is now a big-time designer, working for the likes of A$AP Rocky and Raf Simons – he does all the artwork for my Rampage parties) with rapping over top. Loads of fun, as I recall, and no recordings. Probably for the best!
D: How would you describe the Murdock sound?
M: I think I found a bit of what I like in every corner of drum & bass. There's liquid I like and there's some I detest. There's jump up I love and some I'd never ever play. So my sound is made up of bits of everything: all based on groove, brought to the decks in a mix&blen' fashion, but not shying away from the occasional shocker. And I suppose that's the way I approach making music as well: lay down the groove, find a melody and/or vocal that fits, roll it out…
Murdock interviewing Dynamite:
M: When I mentioned 90s hip hop to you, you instantly went "yeah bro, that's my era!". So what are your top 5 favourite tracks, albums or artists from that period?
D: I was/am so East Coast, so Wu-tang, Nas, Biggie, Tribe, Busta Rhymes, Mobb, Dipset and of course there's many more, but I'm compressing it to 7! (even though you asked for 5)
M: I have been playing music with your voice for many years. Do you ever play any of those tracks yourself anymore and what would be your favourite?
D: I always liked 'Visions' because I produced the track and recorded vocals, so it's a complete build from the ground up. I tend to think my best song is ahead of me, so I always think the last song I did is the strongest. I listen to recent stuff and try to improve my style. But as a rule, I try not to blast my tunes all day!
M: I love A$AP Rocky's crew cut '1 Train'. Who would be your ideal set of MCs to do a track like that?
D: UK DnB MC's? There's a lot of scope here. But I think Stamina, GQ, Evil B, Darrison, Trigga and Conrad. They all bring something completely different to the table, so would be interesting.
M: You have been around for a minute. How do you view the current state of the drum & bass scene as opposed to a few years ago or even decades ago?
D: It's changed, it's grown, it's evolved. It's a tree with branches and new shoots developing all the time. It's super healthy and it's loved by new generations. We're sadly losing venues though, especially in London and this is a problem, but festivals embrace it on a global scale. The energy will always be dnb's greatest ingredient.
M: With Brexit looming and the world basically going to shit, what's the one thing you feel the youth of today should be aware of?
D: With a multitude of sources of information/news available, don't gather yours from just one place. Be open-minded to different sources and opinions. Segregation will never lead is happiness, Unity is the key. We are one.

Cat Traps Family in Home, Dad Calls 911
Mike Tuttle
"Yeah, hi, I have kind of a particular emergency here."
On Sunday evening in Portland, Oregon, an emergency dispatcher received a call that perhaps she had never received before.
Lee Palmer, local father, called 911 to report that the family cat had gone berserk and attacked his 7-month old son. Upset over the incident, Palmer had kicked the cat in the rear end, sending the cat into a deeper realm of crazy. Palmer, along with his wife, child, and dog, retreated to the bedroom where they were then trapped by the frantic feline.
"I kicked the cat in the rear, and it has gone over the edge," he told the dispatcher.
According to the Oregonian, Palmer had first tried to call animal services about Lux, the 22-pound Himalayan, but that didn't work.
When asked by the 911 dispatcher if the baby needed medical attention, Palmer said that he only suffered "very small puncture wounds" on his head. But that wasn't the pressing problem.
"We're trapped in the bedroom, he won't let us out of our door … He's very, very, very, very hostile.
"He's kind of a violent cat already … he's charging us, he's at our bedroom door," Palmer said, then asked, "Do you hear him?"
"Yeah, yeah, I hear him," said the dispatcher, who remained professional despite the odd circumstance. "I know it's kind of scary, let's just try to stay as calm as we can, OK?"
The frightened father asked if the cops could come and the dispatcher put him on hold while she asked her boss if it's "okay" to call the police about this kind of incident. When her boss approved, Palmer seemed relieved.
"Tell them to be careful, the police," he meekly laughed.
Once the police entered the apartment at The Yards at Union Station on the Northwest side of the city, the large cat ran into the kitchen and jumped on the top of the refrigerator. Using a dog snare, the officers caught the cat and put him in a pet carrier. Fortunately, no one else was injured.
Sergeant Pete Simpson later said that while angry dogs are common he couldn't recall another incident involving a hostile feline in his 20 years on the force.
"The cat remained behind bars in the custody of the family and officers cleared the scene and continued to fight crime elsewhere in the city," the police said in a press release on Monday.
"We are debating what to do," Palmer said. "We definitely want to keep (the cat) away from the baby and keep an eye on his behavior.
"I swear I have never seen anything like it."

In the Anglican church of St Andrew at Biaritz engagements of the Peninsular War are commerated. The dedication is to The Officers and Men of the British Army who fell in The South West of France from October 7th 1813 to April 14th 1814, erected in 1882 "by their fellow soldiers and compatriots".
On the porch is a list of 63 British Regiments which took part in the various engagements, and their respective casualties, there is also a plaque commemorating the Royal Navy.
The Memorial Porch was re-dedicated on 12th April 1964, the 150th Anniversary. The then Colonel of the Regiment, Major General FJCP Piggot attended.


This year has been the most painful in Facebook's history. It could get even worse.
"BIG TOBACCO" is what the bosses of several large technology firms have started calling Facebook in private and in public. The company has spent the past year fending off critics who claim it is addictive, bad for democracy and overdue for a regulatory reckoning. Being compared to the tobacco giants is one of the business world's more toxic insults, but it is not the only unflattering analogy circulating. A lower blow is the suggestion that Facebook may become like Yahoo, the one high-flying internet firm that plunged.
Even a year ago the idea would have been unthinkable. The social-networking giant, which runs Instagram, WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger as well as its own core service, was thriving. But since January it has become mired in a series of controversies, misjudgments and missteps. It became clear that it had done too little to stop Russian interference in America's election in 2016. It had to admit that it had shared the personal data of 90m users with outside firms without permission. It later suffered a data breach affecting 50m users.
The comparison to Yahoo is imperfect. Even at its peak Yahoo never boasted a business as large and profitable as Facebook's. And the competitive landscape was different. One of the main reasons Yahoo declined is because it lost out to a powerful rival, Google, in online search; Marissa Mayer, its boss from 2012 until its sale to Verizon last year, was unable to restore advertisers' or employees' confidence as users left. Today there is no company that truly competes with Facebook's suite of apps, partly because it has hoovered up competitors such as Instagram, the wildly successful photo app that is at the centre of its future plans.
But people who watched Yahoo's collapse see ominous similarities. Executive turnover was a leading indicator of its decline; before Ms Mayer was hired it went through four chief executives in three years. Mr Zuckerberg, who controls the majority of Facebook's voting shares, is not leaving, but many top executives are. This year several have announced their departures, including Instagram's founders; the boss of Oculus, a virtual-reality acquisition; a co-founder of WhatsApp; and Facebook's general counsel and its chief security officer. "The number of senior people who have left publicly and denounced the company going out the door is unprecedented. This is Yahoo pre-Marissa Mayer," says a senior digital-advertising executive.
In another echo, the run of negative headlines is harming employee morale. "Horrible" is how one employee describes the atmosphere at Facebook on Blind, an app where people discuss work. That raises two risks. Star performers may leave to work at less controversial companies, and Facebook could end up paying dearly for mediocre employees to stay on (as its share price falls, it has to hand out more in stock- based compensation to keep people).
Mr Zuckerberg and Ms Sandberg are under pressure to prove to users and advertisers that Facebook is not only trustworthy but worthy of their time and money. If they cannot do so, and the company's share price continues its slide, it is possible that Ms Sandberg will be replaced in the next year. Mr Zuckerberg controls the majority of voting shares and is unlikely to go. He will doubtless have thoughts about Yahoo's sorry tale. The onus is on him to show employees, advertisers and shareholders that Facebook won't repeat it.
Many people consider her decision to be a breach of trust .
The government took the unprecedented step of releasing confidential correspondence.
Doubtless you have heard this story before, but I'll tell it anyway.
A lower blow is the suggestion that Facebook may become like Yahoo, the one high-flying internet firm that plunged.
Today there is no company that truly competes with Facebook's suite of apps, partly because it has hoovered up competitors such as Instagram, the wildly successful photo app that is at the centre of its future plans.

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? The most important characteristic to a successful politician or leader is good communication skills.

Q: how to use angular services to run a function and assign result to $rootScope For some reason I have a problem wrapping my head around Angular logic, but I am determined to understand this.
I am trying to run a function at application start that loops through an object and stores the result globaly. I am trying to do this through a service.
first question: Should I use .run() to initialize this or in controller on first route?
here is my code:
var coreServices = angular.module('coreServices', []);

coreServices.service('addObject',["$http","$rootScope", function($http,$rootScope) {
   var _index = {};
   addObj = function(a,b){
      //loop through a  until _index object is built
   }
   // once _index is completely built assign to $rootScope.structure
}]);

I cannot seem to get this right. Everytime I log $rootScope.structure in my controller it is undefined. What is the best way to do something like this? $scope.watch? promises?

A: You want to use the run function to init your service function after injecting it:
app.run(['addObject', function (addObject) {
    addObject.addObj();
}])

app.service('addObject', ['$rootScope', function ($rootScope) {
    var _index = {};
    this.addObj = function(a,b){
      //loop through a  until _index object is built
      //do something to $rootScope.yourvariable
    }
}])


The letter writer makes many points about how ludicrous a wind power development of this magnitude in this location is, but we like her point about just how many people are behind the decision to ruin the community and despoil the island, for profit. Seventeen.
In the case of the project proposed for the Ottawa area (in the North Gower-Richmond section) it is THREE. Three people have decided to make money, while exposing hundreds of homes to the environmental noise and infrasound produced by ten industrial-scale turbines.
Or at least it was, until wind turbines reared their ugly 507-foot-high heads, threatening to alter the lives of not just the 17 landowners that signed up to host them, but the 96% of islanders that didn't. Now we've got a schism. And it happened before anyone knew it.
Rumours are ricocheting: that it was stealthily planned ("psst, wanna turbine?"); that contracts included non-disclose clauses ("psst, don't tell anyone till it's a done deal!"); that there'll be a turbine right by the primary school ("don't worry, the kids'll be OK"); that the private power company salivating over the possible contract has offered the township a "donation" (taxpayer-funded) of $7.5-million that comes with a gag order.
The large and active No-Turbines side claims to have the support of the mayor, county council, Conservative MPP and MP, and 90 municipalities. And the Auditor General, Ontario Federation of Agriculture and Fraser Institute seem negatively disposed as well.
Apparently that's not enough. This train with just 17 passengers aboard — and a crew that includes wealthy investors, a clutch of Liberal provincial government ministers, and a gaggle of lobbyists with Liberal party ties — is heading, full steam ahead, right for our heritage village.
Ottawa Wind Concerns is a community group opposed to the inappropriate siting of wind power generation projects close to people's homes, schools, farms, and the natural environment. We are NOT a "willing host." To view the proposed project go to http://www.prowind.ca and click on Projects, Marlborough. The study map depicted there is not accurate, however; neither are the photos depicting what the turbines will look like.


Every bite is packed with real apples! (Yes, nothing fake ever used here.) The sweet apple flavor throughout mixed with cinnamon and brown sugar is delectable. This one is a serious bread for every foodie's desire. You'll love it... guaranteed.

Take a Trip Inside Coachella's Psychedelic 120-Foot VR Dome
Joshua Brott/Obscura Digital
Charley Locke
Having Coachella FOMO? Check out one of its coolest shows right here.
This year at Coachella the biggest spectacle wasn't Radiohead, Kendrick Lamar, or even Lady Gaga. It wasn't Selena Gomez and the Weeknd's PDA, either. Instead, it was a massive dome where attendees could see giant neon caterpillars, alien landings, and geometric shapes pulsing through the cosmos—no hallucinogens required.
Chrysalis, as the show in the dome is called, is a virtual reality trip very different from the goggle-enabled VR most folks are familiar with. Instead of crushing their flower crowns with a headset, Coachella attendees watched the eight-minute show projected onto the ceiling of a 60-foot high rotunda. All they had to do was lean back and look up.

The experience is the work of Obscura Digital, a San Francisco-based studio that spent three months developing Chrysalis. The result of their efforts is a steel and vinyl dome outfitted with 108 speakers, 15 projectors, and 500 seats that immerses viewers in a classic psychedelic story: the metamorphosis of a caterpillar. "When you sit back inside this giant dome, it's a chrysalis cocoon that transforms the experience of being at a festival to a realm within realms," says Emmett Feldman, art director at Obscura.
Although Obscura had done large-scale visual projects before—the company created an immersive 360-degree sphere in Dubai and built a dome for NASA honoring the Space Shuttle Program, for example—the Coachella job was something entirely new, and required two teams working in tandem to complete: a creative team, which worked on the video aspects, and a tech team that developed the dome itself. While the creative folks worked on CGI and went to Joshua Tree to capture long-exposure footage of the desert, the tech group developed the tools to project it—practicing with a 30-foot test dome in the San Francisco office while a sister company, Pacific Domes, built the big version in Ashland, Oregon.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GN7swvppiWE&feature=youtu.be
Usually when the Obscura team does VR inside a dome, they use at most two projectors, creating fades for the region in the center where their images meet. But the giant Chrysalis dome required 15 projectors to cover its entire surface, and with that many running simultaneously up to four of them could overlap in some areas. Aligning the video manually would've taken too much time, so the Obscura team created an automatic system: After each eight-minute showing, a camera in the center of the dome calibrates the feeds, adjusting the sequences to each projector as needed to create the blends. Using a camera to automatically calibrate means they can adjust based on minute changes to the shape of the dome. That's especially important in the Southern California desert, where a 30-degree range in temperature from day to night can cause the dome's vinyl material to contract and shift.
We wanted to really give the audience something beyond their expectations of what the festival would be about.
Obscura creative director Joshua Pipic
Once all the creative and technical issues were worked out, Obscura shipped the whole thing to Indio, California, where its caterpillar metamorphosis played for more than 60,000 people. Now that the music fest is over, the physical dome will stay with the Coachella team, who plan to bring it to the Panorama Music Festival in New York City this July. No matter where audiences see it, though, the Obscura team hopes Chrysalis introduces them to the psychedelic possibilities of VR.
"We wanted to really give the audience something beyond their expectations of what the festival would be about," says Obscura's creative director Joshua Pipic. "They can go back to their tent, let it soak in, and look at the scale of things, from the subatomic level to the expansion of the universe. It's really mind-expanding."
A consciousness-altering, transformative after-hours trip? Let's see Lady Gaga do that.
__Correction __at 2:59 p.m. on 4/25/2017: Due to a mathematical error, the article originally stated the the dome was 120 feet high; it was actually 60 feet high, with a 120-foot diameter. Additionally, the article included an erroneous estimate of the dome's attendance and the number of speakers involved; those numbers have been amended after receiving updated information.

The moment in season 2 captured exactly what it was like to be alive in another wearying year.


Dr. Jaswinder S. Sidhu, a dedicated physician, selfless leader in the Sikh and Indian communities, and, above all, a loving husband, father, and grandfather, passed away peacefully on August 3, 2016. Dr. Sidhu was a good friend of Sikh Gurdwara DC and Sawhney family.
Dr. Sidhu was born in Gilgit, India, on May 13, 1940, to Dr. Kartar Singh and Amar Kaur. In 1963, Dr. Sidhu obtained his medical degree from Amritsar Medical College. A scholar-athlete, Dr. Sidhu earned the 2nd highest grades in his entire state and he was captain of his medical school's cricket team. In 1964, Dr. Sidhu married Satwinder K. Sidhu, and they had their first child, Patwinder, in Chandigarh, India.
The three moved to join Dr. Sidhu's brother, Dr. Rajinder S. Sidhu, and his family, in Montreal. There, Dr. Sidhu completed training at McGill University. He received further training at Grasslands Hospital in New York and the Medical College of Virginia in Richmond. In 1972, Dr. Sidhu and his family settled in Maryland, where Dr. Sidhu worked for over forty years as a nephrologist at local hospitals and in private practice. In 1978, Dr. Sidhu's second son, Dawinder, was born in Cheverly, Maryland.
Dr. Sidhu helped build longstanding cultural and religious institutions in the Washington, DC area. For example, he helped found the Guru Nanak Foundation of America (GNFA) and he served as President of the Indian-American Medical Association.
Dr. Sidhu will be remembered not only for what he did: provide for his loving family, treat patients, mentor residents, and help establish community organizations. He also will be remembered for how he lived: with honesty, humility, and integrity. He will be deeply missed, but his impact and his example of a truthful life will live on.
The funeral service will take place on Wednesday, August 10, 2016, at the Donaldson Funeral Home & Crematory, P.A., 1411 Annapolis Road, Odenton, MD 21113. The service will be held from 12:00pm to 2:00pm.
The family requests that, in lieu of flowers, donations to the Thakur Singh Scholarship at GNFA be considered. This scholarship, named in honor of Dr. Sidhu's grandfather, offers financial assistance to women pursuing graduate and professional education.

In this PDC session, Mark Fussel, Program Manager at Microsoft, spoke of creating Workflow Services in .NET 4.0, and hosting and deploying them on Windows Server AppFabric.
A set of runtime databases for persisting and monitoring the running instances.
Auto-start applications – start the service when the machine starts.
Pushing diagnostics information from the hosted services into a DB.
Management Tools both in GUI and via PowerShell command-lets.
Monitoring Capabilities – Consistent WCF and WF instrumentation integrated with Event Tracing for Windows (ETW), allowing to both check the status of an application and investigate what went wrong once it happens. The monitoring capabilities and drill-down menus absolutely make life much easier for the WF service developer.
Configuration Capabilities – The configuration capabilities are also simply amazing, allowing you to configure almost anything, up to the level of a single workflow instance.
Composition and correlation of service calls.
Message Correlation – relating messages to each other or to application instance state. Today (in 3.5) correlation is performed inside a context header which can only be used in WCF-to-WCF based calls. In 4.0, correlation is based on the content of the message (e.g. "UserId" or any other application identifier) and is much more comprehensible and usable.
Workflow Management Service for IIS/WAS is installed on the server and monitors the persistence DB, and it can manage these flows (restart, shutdown, etc.).
Instances availability in a farm – scale your service easily.
WF services were much improved in this release of .NET, and they truly allow you to very easily model your business logic and expose it as a WCF service. When put together with the AppFabric application server, this is an amazing technology which can surely help in the development of many server applications. Go ahead, watch the video once it publishes, and be impressed!
As we come towards to SDP, I'll try and post several in-depth blog posts on this technology and explain all of the great new features which are present in it. Stay tuned!

Home / Standard DBT Program
Standard DBT was originally developed by Dr. Marsha Linehan to treat chronically suicidal women and is a well-established model for treating Borderline Personality Disorder. Further research has shown it to be an effective treatment for many other disorders including depression, and certain anxiety disorders (Panic Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder). Generally, standard DBT is helpful for treating disorders which include the experience of emotions being out of control.
After assessment, the therapists on the Consultation Team work together to decide whether a client could benefit from the standard Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Program or an adaptation of DBT. All the DBT programs include the following four components:
individual therapy for the identified client
skills training classes for the client (and parents of child & adolescent clients)
skills coaching calls as needed between sessions
support for the therapist & client from the Consultation Team (consisting of the Clarify Counseling & Three Springs DBT therapists), which meets weekly
Clarify Counseling's DBT Therapists have received intensive DBT training by Behavioral Tech, LLC, the organization founded by Dr. Marsha Linehan to provide the official DBT training.
Ms. Halley, the founder of Clarify Counseling, in addition to offering DBT therapies, provides evidence-based treatment for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.
Mrs. Martin has also received specialized treatment for treating teens and families in DBT, Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills with Multi-Problem Adolescents
Mrs. Furgala was trained in DBT-C during its development and has over 10 years of experience working with children and families in the mental health world.
Ms. Jenkins interest in therapeutic research focusing on advocacy and multicultural competencies in the mental health field led to her discovery of and passion for DBT.
