A: So i gonna enlight you all you need of your code is the following:
public class DatabaseHelper extends SQLiteOpenHelper{

private static String DB_NAME = "sampleDb.db";

private SQLiteDatabase myDataBase;

private final Context myContext;

/**
  * Constructor
  * Takes and keeps a reference of the passed context in order to access to the application    assets and resources.
  * @param context
  */
public DatabaseHelper(Context context) {

super(context, DB_NAME, null, 1);
myDatabase = getWritableDatabase();  <-- important part
this.myContext = context;
}

@Override
public synchronized void close() {

if(myDataBase != null)
myDataBase.close();

super.close();

}

@Override
public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase db) {
    put in here your Sql to generate your tables inside the database will be called if no
    database exists yet on the device
}

@Override
public void onUpgrade(SQLiteDatabase db, int oldVersion, int newVersion) {
     this method doesn't needs to be implemented yet
}

 public void yourSelectQuery(){
 String selectQuery = "select CellID from Table1 where _id=2";
 Cursor cursor = db.rawQuery(selectQuery, null);
 cursor.moveToFirst();
  Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), ""+cursor.getInt(0), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
 cursor.close();
}

and in the other class
public void btn_Click(View arg){
     DatabaseHelper myDbHelper;
     myDbHelper = new DatabaseHelper(this);
     myDbHelper.yourSelectQuery();

Tennis | Roland Garros 2020 | Swiatek soars into maiden Slam final, Kenin overpowers Kvitova to make second final this year
Iga Swiatek def. Nadia Podoroska [Q] 6-2 6-1
Sofia Kenin [4] def. Petra Kvitova [7] 6-4 7-5
PARIS, FRANCE – The Women's Final is set as Iga Swiatek continued to dominate and Sofia Kenin outmanoeuvred Petra Kvitova to make her second final in 2020.
It was uncharted territory for both these players, and at the start a slow couple of points for Iga Swiatek were deceptive as she brought the amazing unbeaten run of Argentine qualifier Nadia Podoroska to a juddering halt.
Swiatek listens to the rock of older souls as she walks out onto court, and told ESPN she actually learned her tennis from playing on her PlayStation, and when you think of the crazy shots you can push off by mashing buttons, there might be something in that!
As soon as she got into her stride, it was almost like replaying the beat-down she handed to former Roland Garros champion Simona Halep. She was able to pain lines, stifle Podoroska and still charge up the court from time to time to strike winners.
At the end of the match she indicated to the enthusiastic crowd she could not hear them and whipped them up to make more noise – she is ready for the challenge.
She said, after the match: "On one hand I know that I can play great tennis. On the other hand, it's kind of surprising for me. I never would have thought that I'm going to be in the final. It's crazy. Yeah, I just kept believing in myself. It's amazing for me. It'll like a dream come true."
For such a young player, it is unusual that she has found confidence in working with a sports psychologist, but for her it is part of the process, to the point that it almost amuses her to be asked about it.
She continued: "Actually, I don't know how I made the decision when I was younger, but I always wanted to work with a psychologist because I had this belief that it's like a big part of the game. But my parents, like, they weren't as open to that as I was. Actually, I don't know where that came from, to be honest (smiling)."

For someone who felt she could not overpower her opponent, Sofia Kenin did a very good job of disproving her own point as she edged out two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova, to make her second Grand Slam final of her career, and indeed the year.
In horribly gusty conditions, Kenin adapted far better and quickly opened up a commanding lead over the Czech but as the wind dropped, Kvitova mounted her fight back, and Kenin found herself now working hard to hold her serve.
The second set saw Kenin wobble as she went to serve it out giving Kvitova a lifeline to go on and level at 5-5, before Kenin surged ahead once more to clinch a spot in a second Slam final.
She said: "I feel like I returned really well. I know she has a big serve. I knew more or less where she likes to serve on tough points. Obviously, I felt like I could not overpower her. I knew I just needed to adjust my game. I had to control the points, move her, dictate, try not to give her short balls, try to have a good serve."
Kenin continued: "It's so special, honestly. I'm just really grateful with the way that I'm playing, with the way things are going. It's not easy getting to a Grand Slam final. Having two this year, it's really special."
Kvitova had nothing but praise for her opponent, after what has been an emotional tournament for her.
She said: "Was really difficult today, to be honest. So the conditions were not very nice. Obviously for my game, it's not really perfect.
"I think that Sofia played great tennis today. I was really trying to fight for every point. I was trying to still be in the match and still wait for the chance, which actually just came little small one, then she took it again.
"Definitely she was playing very well today. She was moving very well actually. That was probably the key today. She deserved to win for sure today."
Kenin and Swiatek will play in the Women's Final on Saturday, at 3pm (2pm BST).

Are you aware that polluted drinking water claims more lives each year than all the forms of violence, including war, according to a UN report? Do you know that one child under the age of five dies every 20 seconds from water related diseases? Think about it…by the time you have finished reading this article four children will have died!
More than 2000 resisdents of Ostersund, Sweden became sick after drinking municipal water contaminated by Cryptosporidium. The disease-carrying protzoan Cryptosporidium gained public notoriety during the cryptosporidiosis outbreak in 1993 when thousands of Milwaukee resisdents were affected resulting in excess of 100 fatalities.

16. Yes, There Ain't No Moonlight – So What?
The priapic New Orleanian Louis Prima started recording in the early 1930s and continued for just short of three decades, by which time his down-home trumpeting had become more or less a distant memory. Those were The Jungle Book years when Prima was King of the Swingers paying homage to the real King Louie in his impersonation of his fellow Louisianan.
But back in 1933 he was busy in New York embarking on a series of recordings with varying personnel. There was the chamber jazz of the Hotcha Trio, with David Rose's articulate pianism and Norman Gast's very Venuti-inspired violin playing. By the following year he was in a hot-shot recording outfit under his own name, Louis Prima and his New Orleans Gang. The gang included luminaries such as George Brunies, Sidney Arodin, Eddie Miller, Claude Thornhill, George van Eps, Nappy Lamare and company, though not all necessarily at the same time. Thornhill's elegant playing at the piano is somewhat at odds with the ebullient front line though when Pee Wee Russell joins the following year, by which time the band has pretty much changed personnel entirely, a new and very personal voice is added. It's far more enjoyable listening to his clarinet on Basin Street Blues than it is to Prima's showboating vocal. It's certainly interesting to hear Prima's original version of his own Sing, Sing, Sing before it became colonised by Benny Goodman in the famous Jimmy Mundy arrangement.
By the war years the song selection was encroaching on vaudevillian with a strong admixture of raucous band vocals, and the band members were becoming increasingly invisible, if not downright unknown. Prima trotted out cast-iron favourites like Bell-Bottom Trousers and Brooklyn Boogie but the larky stuff with vocalist Lily Ann Carol, good as she is, hasn't worn well and nor has the honking tenor (a sign of the times) on Lionel Hampton's Hey, Ba-Ba-Re-Bop!
But when, in the late 40s and early 50s, he was joined by wife-to-be Keely Smith and by the iron-lunged tenor player Sam Butera – who'd played in the club of Louis' talented brother Leon back in New Orleans - things looked up. Smith was, facially speaking, a wonderful 'straight man' to Prima's rapacious mugging and Butera led The Witnesses with authority. From then on, the punchy jive-and-wail stuff took over and it remains splendid to hear – lively, witty, pugnacious, and buoyantly rhythmic.Just a Gigolo and Buona Sera, Hey, Boy! Hey, Girl! and That Old Black Magic – it's hard to say which is the most infectious. Prima still played a tight trumpet, his singing was audacious and knowing, Smith was ever-excellent in the role she'd carved out for herself. By 1960, a blowsy version of Wonderland by Night with unknown personnel pretty much signalled a farewell to serious recording from Prima. He lived on until 1978.
This well produced twofer comes with fine Digby Fairweather notes. He's too honest to push Prima higher up the Jazz ladder than rightly speaking he deserves but he was a force of nature and more often than not a force for musical good.

Apparently, according to WHO figures, influenza cases from Week 15 (April) of 2020 have declined by 98% compared to 2019, whilst Covid-19 cases have correspondingly soared. This is very strange, you have to admit. Here are the figures:
So what on earth is going on? Is it a conspiracy? Have health departments all across the world been wrongly assigning 'flu cases as Covid-19 cases, in effect faking the entire Covid-19 pandemic? Has the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 somehow 'driven out' 'flu since April, preventing people from being infected with the 'flu virus if they are already infected with SARS-CoV-2? Has mass mask wearing and social distancing prevented the spread of the 'flu but not, bizarrely, the spread of SARS-CoV-2? All these explanations seem a little far fetched.
But we need an explanation. The transition from 'flu to Covid is stark indeed. Here are the case statistics for North America and Northern Europe:
It's ridiculous isn't it. How can 'flu just suddenly disappear? My guess is it did not. Flu and pneumonia are still mentioned on plenty of death certificates. My guess is that the focus on testing for Covid-19 has meant that 'flu cases are being sidelined, but that moreover, people presenting with severe respiratory disease and dying from severe respiratory disease are those same people who, in a normal year would have presented with the 'flu and died from it. SARS-CoV-2 appears to have usurped the role of 'flu in the vulnerable population this year and carried off the susceptible. Not only that, it did so in many countries in a much shorter period, around March and April. It also carried off those who would have died naturally from other diseases too, like cancer, heart disease, stroke etc.
In this respect, Covid-19 is not a pandemic, but a syndemic. It has killed people all over the world by acting in synchrony with – and in some cases by displacing, as with 'flu – other known morbidities. Very few healthy people under 60 have died directly from Covid-19. Here is what Richard Horton in the Lancet has to say and I believe it is very significant:
As the world approaches 1 million deaths from COVID-19, we must confront the fact that we are taking a far too narrow approach to managing this outbreak of a new coronavirus. We have viewed the cause of this crisis as an infectious disease. All of our interventions have focused on cutting lines of viral transmission, thereby controlling the spread of the pathogen. The "science" that has guided governments has been driven mostly by epidemic modellers and infectious disease specialists, who understandably frame the present health emergency in centuries-old terms of plague. But what we have learned so far tells us that the story of COVID-19 is not so simple. Two categories of disease are interacting within specific populations—infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and an array of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). These conditions are clustering within social groups according to patterns of inequality deeply embedded in our societies. The aggregation of these diseases on a background of social and economic disparity exacerbates the adverse effects of each separate disease. COVID-19 is not a pandemic. It is a syndemic. The syndemic nature of the threat we face means that a more nuanced approach is needed if we are to protect the health of our communities.

'Our NHS' Commits To Net Zero Carbon: Everybody Clap
NHS becomes the world's first national health system to commit to become 'carbon net zero', backed by clear deliverables and milestones
You would think at a time of national crisis, with hospitals expecting to be overflowing with Covid-19 patients any time soon, following Bill and Ben, the Pol Pot Men's (not) predicted 'exponential' rise in cases to 50k a day by mid October, the NHS would have other things on its mind at the moment – like the health of the nation for instance. But it seems they have ample time to pontificate about going green.
The NHS has today adopted a multiyear plan to become the world's first carbon net zero national health system.
The commitment comes amid growing evidence of the health impacts of climate change and air pollution, and aims to save thousands of lives and hospitalisations across the country.
It's the twin carbon evils of air pollution and climate change, conveniently lumped together for maximum effect. Ban cars, ban nasty wood burning stoves, ban nasty, smelly fossil fuel power stations, in order to make the weather better and to reduce particulate emissions, thereby making us all much healthier (and poorer, less mobile, a lot more miserable, and colder in winter). You know it makes sense – just like 'protecting the NHS to save lives' makes sense by kicking old people out of hospital into care homes and creating a backlog of 15 million non-Covid patients waiting for urgent treatment.
The changing climate is leading to more frequent heatwaves and extreme weather events such as flooding, including the potential spread of infectious diseases to the UK. Almost 900 people were killed by last summer's heatwaves while nearly 18 million patients go to a GP practice in an area that exceeds the World Health Organisation's air pollution limit.
NHS chief executive Sir Simon Stevens said: "2020 has been dominated by Covid-19 and is the most pressing health emergency facing us. But undoubtedly climate change poses the most profound long-term threat to the health of the nation.
"It is not enough for the NHS to treat the problems caused by air pollution and climate change – from asthma to heart attacks and strokes – we need to play our part in tackling them at source."
It's not enough for us to try to treat the problems caused by NHS mismanagement – we need to tackle them at source, by sacking the NHS chief executive for a start, and sacking the army of mid-level NHS managers who it seems have conspired with the government to cover up the gross mismanagement of the Covid-19 crisis and have (and still are) endangering the lives of many patients by keeping many hospitals half empty and not fully functioning.
Of course, the Marxist at the WHO welcomes the news:
Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director General of the World Health Organisation (WHO), said: "Cutting carbon emissions is essential to protect health, everywhere in the world. I welcome the leadership of the largest single health system in the world, the National Health Service in England, in committing to be carbon neutral in its own operations by 2040, and to drive emissions reductions in its suppliers and partners. Health is leading the way to a greener, safer planet."
Dr Watts (I presume) is the big cheese responsible for this net zero 2040 target:
NHS England convened the NHS Net Zero Expert Panel in January following the launch of the Climate Assembly UK, to take and analyse evidence on how the health service can contribute to nationwide carbon reduction efforts.
Led by Dr Nick Watts, Executive Director of The Lancet Countdown on Health and Climate Change, the Panel comprised public health and climate experts as well as patient and staff representatives.
Dr Watts and his team will engage widely to support delivery, with interventions including:
new ways of delivering care at or closer to home, meaning fewer patient journeys to hospitals;
greening the NHS fleet, including working towards road-testing a zero-emissions emergency ambulance by 2022;
reducing waste of consumable products and switching to low-carbon alternatives where possible;
making sure new hospitals and buildings are built to be net-zero emissions, and;
building energy conservation into staff training and education programmes.
Ah, there you have it, you see. Dr Watts's cunning plan to get to net zero carbon involves getting to net zero patients, by treating most 'at home' presumably via video link! It's already happening, in terms of the 'new normal' being ushered in by Covid lockdown hysteria. Millions of patients are being denied face to face consultations and are being telephoned at home or offered consultations via zoom. A million women who would have otherwise been scanned for breast cancer have not, either because they have been scared to seek hospital treatment for fear of catching The Covid Plague or because their routine scans have been cancelled. Just think of all the emissions saved by those women not attending hospital.
Watts again:
"The NHS's ambition is world-leading, and the first national commitment to deliver a net zero health service. It comes at a time when the UK is preparing to host the UN climate change summit next year, and demonstrates that every part of our societies need to play their part in reducing pollution and responding to climate change."
There is a fanatical ambition in this country it seems, prevalent in our leaders, that the UK must lead the world into the immiseration of its populace by unilaterally adopting net zero carbon targets. I wonder why that is?
Is it because we are uniquely stupid? It might seem so. I leave you with this net zero grey matter comment from Kay Boycott, CEO of Asthma UK and the British Lung Foundation:
Climate change poses a huge threat to lung health; with dangerous levels of pollution and extremes in hot and cold weather which can be deadly for people with lung conditions causing symptoms to flare up and putting lives at risk.

Train's engineer blamed in crash
LOS ANGELES -- A commuter train engineer who ran a red signal likely caused the nation's deadliest commuter train crash in nearly four decades, a spokeswoman for the rail line said yesterday.
The death toll rose to 25 from Friday's head-on collision of a northbound Metrolink train carrying about 225 passengers and a freight train going the opposite direction on the same track in Chatsworth, a mostly residential district in the northwestern San Fernando Valley, officials said. That number might rise, they said, because 40 of the 135 people injured were in critical condition yesterday.
"Our preliminary investigation shows it was a Metrolink engineer that failed to stop at a red signal and was the probable cause of the accident," said Denise Tyrrell, spokeswoman for the Metrolink commuter line.
She acknowledged that it was unusual for the agency to announce findings before a federal team investigates.
Tyrrell said the engineer, whom she did not identify, worked for an Amtrak subcontractor that had been used by Metrolink since 1998, and that he was the only one of five train workers -- three on the freight train and two on the commuter railroad -- to die in the crash.
Tyrrell said her agency's preliminary findings determined that the signal on the track was working properly, and that both trains appeared to be traveling about 40 mph.
Metrolink disclosed its findings so quickly, she said, because officials of the rail line "want to remain on honorable grounds with the community."
Later in the afternoon, National Transportation Safety Board officials were far less conclusive in their statements. A safety board member, Kitty Higgins, said that while the agency could "absolutely not rule out" human error, it would examine track signals, equipment and other factors.
Some were puzzled that Metrolink pointed the finger at the engineer so quickly.
"It is a rush to judgment," said Ray Garcia, who until 2006 was a conductor on the same Metrolink 111 train.
Garcia, who now works for Amtrak, ticked off several scenarios in which initial evidence could turn out to be misleading, such as if a central computer showed that a signal was red when on the tracks it was not.
Los Angeles County Supervisor and Metrolink board member Don Knabe also said it's premature to blame the engineer.
"There could always be a technical malfunction where ... there was a green light both ways," he said.
A local teenager told CBS2-TV that he had exchanged a brief text message with the engineer shortly before the crash. The station reported that the teen, Nick Williams, was among a group of kids who befriended the engineer and asked him questions about his work.
Tyrrell said before the report aired that she would find it "unbelievable" that an engineer would be text messaging while operating a train. Using a cell phone on duty is against Metrolink rules, Garcia said.
At the scene of the crash, firefighters and other rescue workers toiled nonstop, sifting through twisted metal, shattered glass, charred seats and engine parts for more bodies.
Later in the day, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio R. Villaraigosa said that the last of the dead had been pulled from the wreckage of the freight train's 11 boxcars and the three Metrolink cars. The mayor quoted a firefighter who he said had told him "it was very, very difficult, it was like peeling an onion, to find all the victims."
Information from the Associated Press was included in this story.


This page describes how to build a very handy tool for quick conversion between the following parameters: gain, loss, SWR and return loss. It took me half hour to build one a couple years ago, and I have been using it since then every time I need to refer quickly one parameter to another without booting up the PC. This simple tool is very useful around the shack when doing RF designs, calculations, and measurements.
The original very neat idea comes from Patrick TK5EP, who has a PDF file available for download with the calculator artwork. My contribution was the idea of using two pieces of plastic to rigidize the design. I used one scrap CD and a blank disk, shown in the picture below.
Fig 1. Materials to build the Return Loss Tool. A scrap CD will hold the base chart, the transparent disk will have the rotating piece of the calculator glued to it, and the metal round piece is to hold the pieces together.
Construction of the tool is very simple. Download and print the artwork. Using an Xacto knife, cut the window in the top portion of the calculator. Get a scrap CD and glue to it the bottom piece of the calculator (artwork facing you, the CD behind it) using a glue pen or other paper glue. Take the blank disk ( which you can find in almost any sleeve of CD recordables) and glue to it the top portion of the calculator (artwork facing plastic surface) using a glue pen applying just a small amount of glue around the blank CD center hole.
Fig 2. Parts are ready to be put together. You have the bottom disk protecting the bottom artwork, the top disk protecting the top artwork, and a short length of a plastic, metal or wooden round alligning the disks.
Now find a suitable piece of round wooden or plastic stick, or a metal round 15mm in diameter. I used an aluminum shaft coupler which fit perfectly in the CD center hole. Just put the calculator parts together and use your mind to perfect the construction by may be securing the shaft to the bottom CD with epoxy or glue. Make sure the top piece can rotate freely around the shaft and the bottom piece. Done. Enjoy your super-puper Return Loss/SWR calculator.

A Gloucester City man arrested after a two-state police pursuit has been charged with a bank robbery in Lawnside and an armed robbery in Somerdale.
Joseph Bush, 38, awaits extradition from Philadelphia, the Camden County Prosecutor's Office said.
He handed a demand note to a teller at the BB&T branch on South White Horse Pike around 3:35 p.m. Friday and got away with an undisclosed amount of cash, authorities said.

"Bush fled the scene in his blue pickup truck and ended up in Camden a short time later, where he led Camden County sheriff officers on a chase through the city," the prosecutor's office said. "Bush drove erratically through the streets to elude the police before making his way over the Benjamin Franklin Bridge."
The pursuit continued in Philadelphia before ending near 12th and Johnston streets, authorities said. Philadelphia police arrested Bush after a short foot chase that ended near 12th and Shunk streets.

The prosecutor's office said Bush also was charged in a holdup that occurred Thursday night at another White Horse Pike business, Somerdale News and Tobacco Outlet.
In that crime, police said, Bush stole an undisclosed amount of money from the cash register after threatening a worker with a knife.
No injuries were reported in either crime.
Bush has been charged with two counts of robbery, eluding, aggravated assault and weapons possession offenses.

Skull Kid
Skull Kid, known in Japan as Stalkid, is a character who first appears in the Nintendo 64 video game The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. He is dressed in a red cloak and hat covering an underlayer of clothing. There are a few Imps (Skull kid is an imp) that can be found in the Lost Woods, a maze-like forest. They play a memory game with Link as a child, and reward him if he plays a particular song for them on his ocarina. However, if Link, as an adult, meets Skull Kid, he shall attack him out of fear.
IGN editor Lucas M. Thomas listed Skull Kid as a good addition for the video game Super Smash Bros. Brawl, when he was the first likely included amongst the other characters listed. UGO Networks editor Marissa Meli listed him 27th out of 50 in The Best Kids in Video Games, criticizing him and calling him an "...ugly looking scarecrow who hates Link and uses a flute as a weapon."It was confirmed that Skull Kid is set to appear as an Assist Trophy in the upcoming Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U.

"Attitude is a predisposition or tendency to respond positively or negatively towards a certain idea, object, person or situation"….online dictionary.
A positive attitude towards life is key to success and happiness. Whatever be the downs in life, a positive attitude can do a lot to lighten the mind and show the way forward. But the fact is that we are all functioning with varying degrees of positive thinking. Why is it different for different people and how do we bring about an Attitude Change even in very difficult situations?
As a mental health professional, I consider Attitude as a way to define a person's identity. Attitude, in turn, is defined by the person's expression of feelings, beliefs and values.
Feelings are innate and learnt emotions; Beliefs are our view about the world, life, others and self; and Values are the guiding principles with which we lead our lives. Our beliefs and values stem from the kind of learning provided in the upbringing one has had; and how strongly the learning has been internalised. Values, beliefs and feelings influence our behaviour and constitute the elements of our personality.
Attitude is thus, complex and acquired through one's past and present experiences. However, Attitude Change is possible with awareness.
The seemingly simple word "Ok" used by Berne has a profound meaning. It means that all human beings are worthwhile, valuable and worthy of respect.
He believed that all individuals are born I'm Ok, You're Ok. However, based on their experiences in their immediate environment; the way they are fed, cared for, loved, cajoled etc in the first 6 months of their lives, they adapt to one of the four positions.
Eric Berne called these positions Life Positions; a psychological sense that an individual holds within himself or herself; not only about self but also about others and the world. As an infant, this position is in the form of a feeling or a sensation in the body.
Subsequent experiences in life strengthen these life positions; and, they become the windows through which one looks at the world and others. Positive beliefs and values through the growing up years strengthen the Life position of I'm Ok, You're Ok. Negative and limiting beliefs and values will move the person towards the other three unhealthy positions.
A person who has had a reasonably healthy and loving childhood may hold the life position of I'm Ok, You're Ok. Which means that the person feels good about self and others. The person is able to trust others and has an attitude of 'Get on with'. People in this position appear optimistic, balanced and mindful.
An individual who is not cared for and whose many basic needs are not met at early age, will often slip into the life position of I'm Not Ok, You're Ok. This is regarded as the depressive position and the person ends up feeling inadequate and inferior. They consider others to be superior than them.These individuals have difficulty trusting others and their predominant feelings are sadness and fear. They hold an attitude of 'Get away from' and withdraw in most situations.
Some young infants are subjected to abuse or severe neglect at an early age. As they grow up, they often feel angry and slip into the life position of I'm Ok, You're Not Ok. It is primarily a defensive position, where the underlying sense of "not ok" leads to blaming and not trusting others. It is regarded as the paranoid position and these individuals react to others with rage and frustration and hold an attitude of 'Get rid of'.
The worst case is of those who slip into the Life position of I'm Not Ok, You're Not Ok. This results from abandonment or circumstances that were really difficult and the individual loses complete hope in life. They experience a sense of futility and adopt an attitude of 'Get Nowhere'. There is a total breakdown of trust with others and the environment. They often land up losing their minds or committing suicide.
When we observe ourselves or others repeatedly experiencing an attitude of a victim or a blamer or futility in many situations, it's likely that the person has slipped into one of the three unhealthy life positions.
One may also observe that we may hold a healthy positive attitude towards life in most situations, however slip into the unhealthy one in times of stress. That is common among all of us. However, how fast we spring back to the healthy position differs from person to person.
Greater the trauma in childhood, greater the difficulty to spring back; this is when professional help becomes crucial and important in helping bring an attitude change.
The humanistic and positive approach of Dr. Berne's Transactional Analysis philosophy is that 'people decide their destiny and they have the ability to re-decide'.We cannot change our past but we can change things in the present. This has the capacity to heal the past and seek what is needed in the now.
How can we work on Attitude Change?
Seek positive and nurturing relationships. Associate with friends who are genuine and caring.
Learn to trust people mindfully.
Learn to ask for help and not imagine that people will understand.
Learn to appreciate self and others.
Practice positive affirmations, which in turn will enable one to hold positive thoughts.
Identify the source of anger and express it in safe relationships. Learn to talk about anger rather than shouting or becoming violent.
Choose a confidant or a professional to guide you in this process.
Believe that vulnerability is fine and not a weakness.
Start by trusting few people and to break the wall that one has build around oneself.
Learn to relax and breathe and practice mindful meditation.
Again identify the source of the problem and bring awareness to what is needed now.
Choose healthy, nurturing and positive relationships. Start with one person. One good friend could be all that you need.
Go slow with your process and allow yourself to grieve the past.
Practice creative visualisation to help you with cultivating positive feelings and thoughts.
Adopting a positive attitude towards life is significant for personal growth and development. This can happen by expressing unexpressed feelings in a safe environment, working on one's limiting thoughts and overall living in a safe and nurturing environment.
Very comprehensive and to the point. It will be very useful to understand the concept of Life Positions, be aware of the life position one has taken and strive to actively confront self when it takes that position to move towards a more healthy interpersonal relationships.
Very good article which conveyed how to address attitude issues. Well written Ragini, Thanks!!!

What Is Reaching In Basketball? 3 Full Explainations
December 3, 2022 by Mike Loyko
You are reading: What Is Reaching In Basketball? 3 Full Explainations In soccercentralph
If you're new to basketball, you might be wondering what a "reach-in foul" is.
If you don't understand what "reaching in" means, you're not alone. Reach-ins are sometimes legal and sometimes not, which can really confuse people who are just starting out in basketball.
In this post, I'll explain what it means to "reach in," when it's a foul, and everything else you need to know about it.
1 What Is The Reach-In Foul In Basketball?
1.1 NBA's Definition Of Illegal Contact
1.2 What Are The Penalties For "Reaching In"?
2.1 Can You Grab The Ball Out Of Someone's Hands In Basketball?
2.2 Can You Slap The Basketball Out Of Someone's Hand?
2.3 Can You Punch The Ball In Basketball?
2.4 Is Slapping The Hand A Reach-In Foul In Basketball?
3 The 4th Quarter
What Is The Reach-In Foul In Basketball?
First of all, the reach-in foul is not defined by any of the official basketball rules (including NBA rules). Fans and reporters often use the terms "reach-in" or "reaching in" to describe when defenders illegally touch a player who has the ball.
Reach-in fouls happen when a player on defence reaches for the orange in an attempt to steal the ball but instead touches the player who has the ball.
Reaching in is not a foul by itself, and neither the NBA nor FIBA have a rule against it. But, depending on the situation, it could be a foul.

We'll have to look at the NBA rulebook to find out when it's an offence and when it's not.
NBA's Definition Of Illegal Contact
Section 12B (Personal Foul) of the NBA 2019–2020 rulebook says what kind of contact is against the rules.
Rule 12B Section I point (a) of the NBA rulebook says that it is against the rules to hold, push, charge into, or stop an opponent from moving by bending the body out of shape or extending a hand, arm, leg, or knee.
Players on defence who are guarding an opponent who has the ball are also not allowed to make contact with that opponent. There is no touching of forearms, hands, or body parts.
There are, however, a few exceptions, which are listed in Section I, point (b), subpoint (a). For example, contact with an offensive player's hand that doesn't change the player's speed, direction, balance, or rhythm is not a reach-in foul.
Rule 12B, Section I, Point (c), also says that a player gets a personal foul if his or her actions against an opponent cause illegal contact with another opponent.
Lastly, point (e) says that it's okay to touch an offensive player's hand while that hand is touching the ball. And this is exactly where most "reach-in" fouls happen.
In the "Comments on the Rules" section, it is also said that when the hand touches the ball, it becomes part of the ball. Because of this, it is legal to touch that part of the hand.

What Are The Penalties For "Reaching In"?
If an offensive player breaks the rules by touching the ball with his hand:
The player who did something wrong gets a personal foul.
If the defender was the one who made the illegal touch, the team that was wronged gets a team foul.
If one player on each team has a personal foul or if the foul was committed against an offensive player, no team fouls are called.
When a team is called for a reach-in foul, they usually get a ball out-of-bounds. But depending on what went wrong, the team that was wronged could also get up to three free throws.
In this last part, I'll answer some frequently asked questions to help you understand when it's okay to reach in and when it's not.
Can You Grab The Ball Out Of Someone's Hands In Basketball?
Yes, you can do this as long as you:
– Only touch the ball.
– Touch the opponent's hand only in the area that is contacting the ball. For example, if just the fingertips of a player are contacting the ball, then only hitting their fingertips will be considered legal.
– Do not touch the opponent.
If you meet these three rules, it's okay to touch the ball, and you won't be called for a reach-in foul. This is the right way to take the ball.
Can You Slap The Basketball Out Of Someone's Hand?
You are allowed to do this as long as you only touch the ball or the part of the ball handler's hand that touches the ball.
Can You Punch The Ball In Basketball?
No, Rule 10 Section IV Point (a) says that "a player may not kick or punch the ball."
Is Slapping The Hand A Reach-In Foul In Basketball?
Only in two situations is it okay to slap or otherwise touch the hand of a player who has the ball:
when the player touches the ball with that part of his or her hand. For example, if only the tips of the offensive player's fingers touch the ball, touching their hand anywhere else is a reach-in foul.
When the hand contact is accidental, which means that it doesn't slow down the person who has the ball and doesn't make him lose his balance or rhythm.
The 4th Quarter
In the end, reaching in basketball could be called a foul if the defender makes illegal contact with the person who has the ball. There are a lot of details left out of this explanation, but you get the idea.
Reaching in can give the other team free throws if you do it wrong, but it also gives you the best chance to steal the ball from your opponent and go from defence to offence in a flash.
I think you should also go and read the NBA rulebook on your own. I've only gone over the most important points. The rulebook has a lot more information that you might find useful.

Will A British Woman Ultimately Take Citroën To Newer Heights?
Linda Jackson, the CEO of Citroën, has recently been named as the most influential British woman in the car industry.
During the course of her career, Linda Jackson has proved herself worthy of all the accolades and acclaim that came her way. She is not only the first British CEO of Citroën, but also the first woman ever to hold the job.
Appointed in June 2014, Jackson took charge of Citroën in troubled times when its parent company PSA Peugeot Citroën was struggling to curb losses in some of its traditional markets. But her vision was clear. "We want to be more creative, affordable and offer things that really matter to mainstream customers," she said in an interview back then.
She has definitely delivered on the promise of creativity. One of the examples is the C4 Cactus which featured sleek and slim headlights, innovative plastic side panels, and pop-out rear windows. The Cactus was an instant hit with those who wanted style with substance but at an affordable rate.
It seemed that, with the C4, Jackson had achieved her vision of designing vehicles that were "between different and bizarre."
However, not everyone is satisfied. Bertrand Rakoto, an automotive consultant, claims "the problem with Citroen is nobody knows exactly what its positioning is compared to the Peugeot brand."
How successful Jackson's business strategies are in the future still remains to be seen.

NaXum's CEO Ben Dixon Shares "Who" You Need On Your Corporate Team At Your MLM Today
In a discussion on Facebook, Ben Dixon, CEO at NaXum's explores "who" you need on a successful team in MLM today with the technology available.
When clients meet with our NaXum team to dig into our technology and explore running a modern referral marketing company, many ask the question "What people do I need on the team to run a successful company today?"
The usual suspects come to mind.
A core team would include a CEO for vision, a Director of Sales for guiding the tribe of promoters, and a Head of Customer Service to create raving fans.
With the predictive action engines that NaXum creates for companies today, there is a 4th critical role.
The content team. Some call this person, the game master, because they dictate how the game of promoting your business feels.
If your goal is to create an experience, where your platforms 'feel like' a top leader sitting next to the newest person on the team, suggesting what they do next, then you're going to need someone to create compelling content that converts and look at the data daily.
NAXUM PREDICTIVE ACTIONS ENGINE
"Predictive action engines act as a layer in your technology that 'feels like' a top leader sitting next to the newest member on the team, suggesting 'what' to do next. The data from these platforms becomes a daily feedback loop that the corporate team will use to optimize the suggestions they bring their members" – Ben Dixon
What should you look for when hiring a game master to run your predictive action engine?
1) Understanding Of The Industry:
You are wanting your platform to 'feel like' a top leader sitting next to the newest person, suggesting what to do next, so the game master needs to have a real understanding of what suggestions to configure the system to make to the members as a baseline for operating the business.
They would have experience in promoting referral marketing opportunities and products online. Since the systems are made to assist in one-on-one selling, the game master should have experience in the field.
2) Human Psychology & Influence:
The game master must also have a deep understanding of human psychology and influence. The system is set up to 'model' the behaviors you want your members to take on daily and the content should be content that asks questions that are intriguing enough to break the regular cycle of communication your prospects experience.
Understanding both how the promoters that would be using NaXum's predictive action technology think and how prospective customers think will be key to the game masters' success.
3) Behavior Change Science
Let's face it, many of the independent referral marketers that promote direct selling brands are new to sales and are very part-time. How do you use technology to move these part-time fans into committed members that take daily action?
The NaXum Unify and predictive action platform have the framework for engaging members and forming daily habits. The game master's role will be to continue to optimize the journey members experience throughout the platform.

Area firefighters spray water from several vantage points on a fire that threatened the Terraces at Glassford Hill apartment complex in Prescott Valley mid-day Wednesday, April 18.
Fortunate circumstances allowed area firefighters to quickly extinguish a highly visible wildfire that threatened the Terraces at Glassford Hill apartment complex in Prescott Valley mid-day Wednesday, April 18.
Several reports of smoke and fire on Glassford Hill were called in to 911 at around 1:15 p.m., according to emergency dispatch relays.
Within about 10 minutes, firefighters with the Prescott Fire Department and the Central Arizona Fire and Medical Authority (CAFMA) were on scene evaluating the situation.
The fire had started in grasslands at the base of a 15-foot retaining wall just below the apartment complex – which sits about halfway up the southeast end of Glassford Hill.
By 1:35 p.m., crews had already knocked down the 10-foot flames with water and were coating the half-acre of burned area with fire-retardant foam to tame any residual heat.
"We were very fortunate," said Rick Chase, CAFMA's fire marshal. "All the right pieces came together. Somebody called it in, the guys got here, you had a wall that blocked it, you had wind blowing it toward the wall, and since it started at the top of the hill, it didn't really have much opportunity to creep anywhere else."
Had one of these factors been different, so might have been the story.
"It could have been bad," Chase said. "If the flames hit one of those buildings, it would have ignited; then with the winds, embers would have been blown; it would have been catastrophic."
The nearest building to the flames was evacuated just in case things did get out of hand.
While the cause of the fire wasn't immediately determined, Chase said it certainly wasn't natural.
"It was human caused," he said. Which brings up the standard safety message this time of year.
"We're getting into prime fire season," Chase said. "We're in fire restrictions. There's going to be no smoking outside designated areas, cars or yards, and make sure no one is flicking cigarettes around. Use caution. Anything that creates a spark, make sure you have water or a fire extinguisher there."

A minimal style bedroom like this works better. Maintain a chair on bedside to let others to sit when they come to see you.
A tiny bedroom usually seems like an awkward or small location with a big bed packed within. Nonetheless, correct preparation and also little efforts are needed to handle it. White wall surfaces produce an illusion of bigger area and a narrow bed in the center with a side table complete the appearance. No additional devices but indeed, a wall with striking shades to stabilize the look and also supplement for the loss of tools.
For a small apartment or those who are used to live alone, there is no demand to acquire a double bed. You can easily go well with a single bed and also conserve a lot of room. Keeping bed in the corner, adjacent to the wall, helps to make setup as well as an arrangement of various other furniture easier.
A loft space likewise works as a dynamic area for resting. This room shows how easily you can rope in designer look for your room. Matching armchair completes the spirit of convenience to the view.

A calm, tool sized bright bedroom often stays far from our imaginations. However considering this one, every person will think to obtain the same for as soon as.

Make a declaration in your bedroom by replacing the chandeliers (if any kind of), followers or lights with enlightening as well as bright paint as well as patterns on the ceiling. As soon as the lights are off, you will seem like you run out this world. Besides, the glass windows on the corner take you to the ground from your bed. Floating or hanging beds are never dull indeed.
Brown, off-white, and also white are taken into consideration to be the most effective choice for the resting area. The good news is, these three shades have been used in best combination in this bedroom to develop an out of this world type of space. Glass wall surface on one side lets you have a look to high rise surrounding buildings.
The listing of the best room is incomplete without mentioning the child's bedroom. They are increasingly ending up being a part of every Indian home. Cool cartoon prints on walls and also vibrant drapes for beds as well as cushions raise the style and even a spirit of this area.

the boy wants to play on Xbox live. I am on the computer. he has pulled out the only game he knows I am powerless to. DIG DUG.
he knows within minutes I will be on the couch playing dig dug, screaming at the stupid things that will not blow up.
what he has not factored in….if i'm on playstation, he can't be on xbox.
OH MY GOD!!! I LOVE DigDug!!! I thought I was a geek but obviously I am in good company!
Dig Dug was one of the bestest games ever made. Tempest and Joust were pretty close for first place!!
I think I may have played that, like, once. Maybe.
I added you to the list! Cute pictures of your little ones by the way !!!
I love the one of your daughter looking out the window. It's classic!!

Group to celebrate weight loss at TOPS conference
Meg Mirshak
More than 200 members of a nonprofit weight loss program are expected to attend a conference this weekend in Augusta celebrating their weight loss victories.
A conference for Take Off Pounds Sensibly begins Friday at the Augusta Marriott at the Convention Center. The participants represent chapters of the program from across Georgia.
"We aim at doing things sensibly. We don't sell products. We don't have fads or gimmicks," said TOPS President Barbara Cady.
The 1,200 members in Georgia's 97 TOPS chapters lost more than 5 tons of weight in the past year. In the United States and Canada, about 170,000 members participate in the program founded in 1948.
At weekly support meetings, participants weigh-in and discuss strategies and challenges to weight loss. TOPS also provides programming on nutrition, exercise, stress and behavior change, Cady said.
Roxane Beard, a member of the Grovetown TOPS chapter, has lost 100 pounds since she began the program in 1994. She reached her goal weight of 156 pounds in 2004 and after gaining weight back, she reached her goal a second time in December.
Beard's support group provided accountability as she strived to reach her goal.
"They're just like my family. They've supported me through a lot of things, the highs and lows," she said. "Once you reach your goal you still have to struggle to stay there."
Through the program, Beard learned about portion control, calorie counting and other strategies. Drinking adequate amounts of water and exercising were key components to her success.

Building Brand Affinity
A perfect getaway for most of us means sandy beaches and warm weather but for hockey players the ideal setting is frozen ponds and bitter cold temperatures. Canadian beer maker Labatt Blue has tapped into hockey players'—one of its core markets—passion for the game and beer by taking over an entire town in wintry Wisconsin and turning it into a hockey lover's paradise.
This February for the third time Labatt Blue sponsored the annual Labatt Blue Pond Hockey Championships in Eagle River WI. The weekend-long event has grown every year from 40 teams six rinks and four divisions in 2006 to 142 teams 18 rinks and nine divisions this year. The players mainly from adult recreational hockey teams travel to the event from 22 states.
Labatt reaches back to what hockey players enjoy most: a good game played on a frozen pond with family and friends cheering. The program is also a win for brand awareness and sampling. In three days Labatt Blue puts its product in the hands of thousands of willing consumers—from the players and their guests to the townspeople. It also gets lots of impressions. Leading up to the event buzz is created on both Labatt and USA Hockey's websites. The program has also been covered in local newspapers and on local TV show "Wakeup Wisconsin" (clips are on YouTube—another strike for viral marketing). Labatt has brewed up a winning recipe to create brand affinity for the third year in a row… here's why you should steal this idea:
IT'S GOT A CAPTIVE AUDIENCE
The tournament is played on Dollar Lake split up to fit 18 rinks in the small town of Eagle Rock where there is only one road going in and out. The area surrounding the rink is littered with branded tents for players photo ops first aid assistance concession stands bathrooms and 30-foot inflatable Labatt Blue beer bottles. The tournament kicks off on a Friday at 10 a.m. and goes through Sunday afternoon when the semi-finals and championships take place. The brand is in front of players and their guests and the townspeople for three days and nights.
On Friday night the players and their guests are welcomed with bar crawls at five local establishments (all Labatt Blue accounts) fully branded and offering beer specials. Saturday night Labatt Blue takes over a large warehouse for the big party where the presidents of Labatt Blue and USA Hockey welcome the players. Each player receives two free beers upon entrance to the party and can enjoy $3 beers from any of the six bars set up on site. The night includes raffles for branded merchandise like coolers beer mugs and USA Hockey autographed memorabilia.
IT'S GOT THE RIGHT PARTNERS
By partnering up with USA Hockey Labatt Blue had access to its vast (21 and older) member database. Labatt can specifically target hardcore hockey fans with mailings or send email blasts about the event and other product information. Partnering up with USA Hockey also gives Labatt street cred with hockey players who want the real deal. Plus Labatt can give out prizes such as signed hockey memorabilia that only USA Hockey can provide. In addition to bragging rights the winning teams receive an actual USA Hockey goalie championship mask.
"Hockey players don't like to feel that they're being sold to " says Craig McCarthy account supervisor for Strategic New York City which handled. "We're not pitching anything this is just something we do to thank them for supporting us and a sport we connect to like hockey."
IT BUILDS EQUITY IN TOWN TOO
Throughout Eagle River the presence of Labatt Blue is evident through signage including a half mile-long string of branded flags leading to the pond. Hockey players and their guests roam the town between tournaments bringing in a lot of business by renting snowmobiles ice fishing and lunching and dining at bars and restaurants. It's a win for Labatt Blue the players and the residents of Eagle River. Area hotels especially the Chanticleer Inn which has been the host hotel all three years also benefit from increased business. The townspeople can catch all the tournaments for free and receive a donation each year from Labatt Blue to help support their own recreation department.
IT CELEBRATES ATTENDEE ROOTS
Labatt doesn't just hold an event at any old ice rink; it tugs at the heartstrings of the hockey community—known to enjoy close-knit camaraderie—by finding a place where the weather and setting is just right. "It's really about creating a unique brand experience for our core consumers and also consumers who are not currently enjoying Labatt Blue " says Peter Bodenham director-marketing at Labatt USA. "Pond hockey has always been part of a great tradition for hockey players in Canada and the U.S.—as is Labatt Blue—so putting these two things together in a real environment—frozen lakes—provides that authentic hockey experience."
