Time will stop for one second 30 June 2015
2015 is not a leap year, but it does have a leap second, set to take place Tuesday (June 30) at 7:59:60 p.m. EDT (23:59:60 GMT). "Earth's rotation is gradually slowing down a bit, so leap seconds are a way to account for that," Daniel MacMillan of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, said in a statement. Ask any person the length of a day, and she'll say 24 hours, which equates to 86,400 seconds. But the time it takes for Earth to rotate on its axis relative to the sun, called a mean solar day (or the average length of a day) is roughly 86,400.002 seconds. This happens because Earth's rotation is slowing down, thanks to a kind of braking force caused by the gravitational tug of war among Earth, the sun and the moon, researchers at NASA said.
The astronomers at the International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service keep track of the difference between astronomical time and atomic time. They call for a leap second to be added whenever Earth's observed position is on track to be out of sync with UTC time by more than 0.9 of a second. Leap seconds traditionally are added on June 30 or Dec. 31. Because they are unpredictable, leap seconds can cause headaches for tech companies who cannot build them into their code the way they do with leap years. In the past, LinkedIn, Google and Reddit have all experienced problems caused by leap seconds. In addition, it is not clear that leap seconds are really essential. Even if the difference in astronomical time and atomic time grew by one second every year, in 100 years the gap would be less than two minutes. In 1,000 years, it would be off by less than 17 minutes. But it could be unsettling. Eventually. And besides, couldn't we all use a little more time?

Cesar Millan's Live Show in Kuala Lumpur
Wow, I was so exciting finally can meet him in person. His first Dog Whisperer live show was held in Plenary Hall KLCC on the date of 30th May 2015, 7.30pm. I get to buy 2 tickets online for RM395.00 (USD 98.15) each and my chosen seat is quite close to the stage. We reached early an hour before the show starts, we were the first to enter inside hall. As a popular television host like him, he is really a nice person that I ever met. We have been waiting for over an hour at the backstage for a picture with him. While waiting for him, we decided to ask some crews who is on duty there about when and which door Cesar will leave from. No one is telling us the true answer, they seemed to be unclear or pretend don't know about it. They should know all the planned which has been prepared by the organiser. So we are trying to wait outside for a chance to meet Cesar Millan. For those who has the special pass will get the greater chance to greet him and take picture with him even for his signature. When we are about to leave, unexpectedly Cesar Millan come out from the backstage door and he is friendly offered us to take picture with him.

The Best Gift for Father's Day
Father's day is observed on the every third Sunday of June. The day is to celebration honors all fathers, grandfathers, great grandfathers, and father figures for their contribution. With Father's day less than a month away, now probably is the best time to start thinking about your gift idea. What is the best gift for Father's Day? Is your dad a tech junkie? Is he tool mad?
Just like my dad, I always get him some cash or special home-made cake for him. My dad is a business man and he doesn't like traveling, as he thinks every places are the same but I guess he is afraid of taking flight. This time I'll get a new smartphone for him. His phone are always changing after a year as the need for his work. Now he learned to play online games, using online platform to send message such as Whatsapp and Wechat. He is using the model of Samsung Galaxy S4, and now I'm going to get him the latest version.

Balance
Many people when they hear the word balance think of a scale making sure that both sides are equal. Instead, think of it more in terms of a budget having a balanced budget.
