Set of six. I love things that look like other things. Sometimes I see such images while taking the photos and sometimes they only become apparent later. Other times it's fun to bend images with effects or play with the natural effects of light and shadow for odd shots. Share a link in comments of your favorite odd shot. I'd love to know what you've captured!

Utah State University's Department of Computer Science will return to the purview of the College of Science on July 1.
LOGAN — Utah State University's Department of Computer Science will return to the purview of the College of Science on July 1.
University Executive Vice President and Provost Frank Galey said the department's move follows discussions by students, faculty, administrators, and state business and government leaders about the long-term needs of the state and the university.
The department was originally housed in the College of Science before moving to the College of Engineering in spring 2012.
1 comment on this story
Maura Hagan, dean of the College of Science, said the new organizational structure will strengthen both the department and other programs within the College of Science by building upon existing collaborations in the areas of teaching and research. It will also address the state's workforce challenges as the College of Science continues to work with business and industry sectors to meet their changing needs.
The move maintains the computer science department's accreditation and does not affect the curriculum of any computer science program or academic opportunities, including the computer science minor. Hagen said some transition details are still in progress, but she encouraged students to meet with their academic advisers for guidance.

Custom MX and A Records
What precisely is an A record? What's an MX record? What functions do they serve in the Domain Name System?
Each registered domain has no less than two Name Server records which show where it's hosted i.e. by using these records you point your domain to the servers of a certain website hosting provider. In this way, you've got both your site and your emails managed by the exact same provider. On the lower level of the Domain Name System (DNS), nevertheless, there are a number of other records, such as A and MX. The former shows which server manages the website for a given domain name and is always an IP address (123.123.123.123), while the latter indicates which server manages the emails and is always an alphanumeric string (mx1.domain.com). For instance, whenever you type a domain address in your browser, your request is directed through the global DNS system to the company whose NS records the domain uses and from there you may be sent to the servers of a different company in case you have set an IP address of the latter as an A record for your Internet domain. Having different records for the website and the emails means that you may have your website and your e-mails with two different providers if you would like.
Custom MX and A Records in Shared Website Hosting
With a shared website hosting plan from our company, you will be able to set up or change the A and MX records of your domain names and subdomains effortlessly by using our sophisticated Hepsia hosting CP. Editing the default records will take two clicks and the setup of a new record takes just a few more clicks, so although you may have never dealt with such matters, you won't experience any problems. We also have an extensive help section that makes things even easier. If you'd like to switch your email provider and you have to create a number of MX records in addition to the standard two, you can select their priority i.e. which record is going to handle your e-mails first when someone sends you a message. Usually the new provider is going to tell you what these values need to be. With our shared plans, you are going to have total control of your domain addresses and subdomains and you're going to be able to manage their A and MX records easily and at any time.

AN UNRIVALLED REPUTATION FOR QUALITY AND EXPERTISE
Rolex is an integrated and independent Swiss watch manufacture. Headquartered in Geneva, the brand is recognized the world over for its expertise and the quality of its products – symbols of excellence, elegance and prestige. The movements of its Oyster Perpetual and Cellini watches are certified by COSC, then tested in-house for their precision, performance and reliability. The Superlative Chronometer certification, symbolized by the green seal, confirms that each watch has successfully undergone tests conducted by Rolex in its own laboratories according to its own criteria. These are periodically validated by an independent external organization.
The word 'Perpetual' is inscribed on every Rolex Oyster watch. But more than just a word on a dial, it is a philosophy that embodies the company's vision and values. Hans Wilsdorf, the founder of the company, instilled a notion of perpetual excellence that would drive the company forward. This led Rolex to pioneer the development of the wristwatch and numerous major watchmaking innovations, such as the Oyster, the first waterproof wristwatch, launched in 1926, and the Perpetual rotor self-winding mechanism, invented in 1931. In the course of its history, Rolex has registered over 500 patents. At its four sites in Switzerland, the brand designs, develops and produces the majority of its watch components, from the casting of the gold alloys to the machining, crafting, assembly and finishing of the movement, case, dial and bracelet. Furthermore, the brand is actively involved in supporting the arts and culture, sport and exploration, as well as those who are devising solutions to preserve the planet.

Assad offers Trump a Pepsi to sort out their differences
Charles Firth
For The Chaser
By Charles Firth
Donald Trump has launched a military strike against Syria, after President Bashar Assad launched a chemical weapons attack that left fifty people dead, including at least ten children.
In response, President Assad has offered Trump a Pepsi, claiming that he understands it's a great way for opposing sides to sort out their differences. "Pepsi is a great way to project a global message of peace, unity and understanding," he said. "If only it also tasted any good."
A quick ad
But President Trump declined the offer, saying he'd just bought a heap of shares in the company that made the missiles. Lawmakers on both sides of Congress spent much of the afternoon buying shares in private military contractors, as news of the strike broke.
Meanwhile, Trump is reportedly considering Kendall Jenner into the dangerous warzone to try and prevent her from ever making advertisements ever again.

Picking up where I left off, the last entry was about an emergency case involving a non-weight bearing lameness and unexpected penetrating wound to the abdomen. Without the financial option for referral, the owner (fictitiously referred to as Karen from here on out) opted for managing the mare (fictious name of Sugar) at home. Our aggressive antibiotic required placement of an intravenous catheter, and intense training session regarding care, maintenance, problem solving and how to use a catheter. I am always nervous when it comes to client managing catheters in the field. Luckily, Karen had previous experience working under a vet in an equine surgical center.
Sugar was started on a 5 day course of intravenous antibiotics (Kpen and gentamicin) and an anti-inflammatory (flunixin). The dime-size penetrating wound was sutured closed. I expeted that the would see evidence of complications (peritonitis, compromised bowel etc) within the first 24 hours, and was pleasantly surprised when Karen informed me Sugar was holding steady. Her appetite and energy level remained consistent, as did her severe lameness on the hind leg. It wasn't until day 3 that she threw the first fever, a staggering 104.5 F. When the fever was unresponsive to banamine, Karen took to giving alcohol baths. I was anticipating at any moment, the downward spiral would begin…but aside from transient fevers, Sugar was still holding steady at day 5.
On day 5, Karen reported the catheter wouldn't flush and after confirming it was no longer patent, we pulled it. To continue the antibiotic coverage, Karen was given excede and her fevers had stopped. Haunting still, was the none-weight-bearing lameness that remained unchanged, and was now making me suspect a pelvic or hip injury. With her budget depleted, no additional diagnostcs or treatments were an option…and we began discussing quality of life concerns for the severe lameness. Karen painfully drew a cut-off point for Sugar's recovery, which was a week. If her hind leg wasn't showing improvement by the end of the week, she would have to be let go.
I didn't hear from Karen for a week, and when an appointment popped up on my scheduled, I assumed the worst. Much to my surprise, her lameness had improved by 50%. And after another week, she was 90% sound on the left hind. Sugar never looked back after that…she recovered completely, despite the odds.
And the mystery of the penetrating injury? It's all heresay, but on my final visit to see Sugar…a neighbor just happened to swing by.
This story stuck with me, because a month later, at a farm in the area there had been a couple cows believed to have been shot (they didn't die, but had wounds similar to Sugar's. When a dog and goat were shot a months later in the neighboring town, what originally sounded like a far fetched theory…started resonate.
It's been a couple months now, and I have yet to hear of more animal shootings…but if this really is a person targeting animals, could the target become a human? Unfortunately, the city and state police don't consider the events related…but it also sounds like there has been little follow-up into what could be considered early indications that we have a fledging psychopath.

EVE-MARIE FURNESS (Greater Manchester Probation)
COMMENDEE 2013-14: Probation Service Officer: for skill and dedication in addressing the move-on housing needs of offenders in Approved Premises.
[Eve-Marie Furness gives her account of the work for which she won her Commendation]
Receiving a Butler Trust Commendation inspired my passion for my work. Paying attention to engaging housing providers in working together towards the successful move-on of Approved Premises residents into the community. Seeking landlords that are joint working and that provide a high standard of accommodation. No previous benchmarks, addressing a need for risk reduction management through settled accommodation for high risk offenders.
The Greater Manchester Probation Trust had identified a need to assist residents with move-on. In 2010 I was seconded to the position of Approved Premises Accommodation Officer, I developed an Approved Premises move-on scheme to provide a reliable source of high standard accommodation for high risk offenders.
My work has had a positive impact on the offenders using the accommodation, and reducing the risk of re-offending.
My role has developed over a period of 4 years, and was initially a seconded position, and recently was made a permanent role. I had no previous bench marks and I have built the working practices and processes from scratch to finally achieve a bank of landlords that actively cooperate to provide accommodation.
I have spent valuable time negotiating with landlords and developing partnership working. I engage with supported accommodation providers and ensure that relevant risk information is shared.
I have also set up a Bond Scheme for the sole use with Approved Premises residents and this has been developed by gaining funds from the Probation Trust. The benefits of the bond scheme are primarily to provide a deposit for private landlords, as residents whom have spent time in custody are often unable to raise any funds towards their move-on.
The bond scheme is also financially beneficial to the Approved Premises Division as it significantly reduces bed blocking and the knock on effect of future releases from custody.
Approved Premises residents have been released from custody after serving long sentences and are a high risk of harm. The benefits of my role are to gain move-on accommodation into the community and to move residents away from the institutional setting of custody and Approved Premises, and to enable them to re-build their lives.
What I identified as priority need for the move-on of Approved Premises residents.
Acknowledging there is a problem with securing move-on accommodation
Engaging with the residents via a housing surgery, having set appointments
Negotiating with private landlords for good standard of available accommodation
Sharing of information and relevant risk assessments
Funds – accessing available money towards deposits
Planning and development of the Bond Scheme
Keeping statistical information in relation to successful outcomes
The statistics were monitored and initiatives were reviewed on a quarterly and annual basis. The findings provided vital information and outstanding results, evidencing that private accommodation was the way forward. As a result of this i developed the bond scheme.
Approved premises have a 16 week ruling, and unless there are issues in relation to risk, it is expected that a resident would move-on at this time. This highlighted the requirement to act fast to avoid bed blocking.
I work alongside many accommodation providers, ensuring the quality of accommodation is to a high standard, i work closely with Offender Managers, Police and regularly attend Multi Agency Public Protection Panels, I assist in the management and monitoring of risk of offenders within the community that have move-on through the bond scheme or with one of my partner landlords.
The success of the scheme has been my drive towards improving the services offered to Approved Premises residents, and negotiating with landlords in the private sector. Having no benchmarks has allowed me to implement methods of good practice in developing a scheme that meets peoples needs, and identifying issues and working towards reducing re-offending and public protection, by way of gaining suitable, affordable accommodation.
INSPIRE ARTICLE
[The following article appeared in issue 6 of the Butler Trust's magazine, Inspire]
Eve-Marie Furness of Greater Manchester Probation Trust has been commended for her work in providing a place to live for people moving on from approved premises and helping to lower reoffending rates as a result. She's built relationships with local landlords and social housing organisations – challenging the prejudices and assumptions of people who often had little understanding of the criminal justice system – and has had great success in arranging for sex offenders and other high-risk prisoners to be safely moved on.
'The majority of my clients have spent lengthy periods in custody and this can mean that they have never had the responsibility of having their own accommodation, and do not have the skills to manage independent living,' says Eve-Marie.
As well as working closely with the police, she's also developed a specialist housing advice service and delivers housing surgeries in approved premises for those looking for move-on accommodation, helping to streamline previously unwieldy processes that involved duplication of effort by several different agencies carrying out assessments of each offender.
According to Assistant Chief Executive Joe Tumelty, Eve-Marie has shown 'commitment, flexibility and tenacity in delivering a specialist accommodation service for offenders who present a high risk of harm to the public', as well as making a valuable contribution to risk management. Probation Operations Manager Sean Hunt, meanwhile, said that she has shown 'skill, tenacity and good humour' as well as an understanding of the 'complex housing situation in Manchester' – one that is constantly changing as a result of shifting market conditions and new legislation.
'I look at all my clients as individuals and not as a "problem",' says Eve-Marie. 'Offenders who move on to suitable, affordable accommodation are more likely to engage with services and stop reoffending, compared to someone who is homeless and without support networks in place.'

"My entire family remains very grateful to our wonderful lawyer, May-Lis Manley. She helped us to obtain outstanding results, and she did it while sharing a warm and engaging personality with all. I would not hesitate to recommend her, and the entire firm, to all my friends, family, and colleagues."
"We were directed to the law firm of Ron M. Landsman, P.A. and specifically to May-Lis Manley by the Maryland Disability Law Center. The firm represented us in appealing the Maryland Medical Assistance REM program's termination of nursing services for our adult disabled son. Ms. Manley was thorough and thoughtful in all the encounters and meetings that we had with her. Ms. Manley's thorough preparation of our case, including assembling an incredible defense of medical professionals who were prepared to testify in our son's behalf, and knowledge of the law enabled us to prevail. We would not have succeeded without their counsel and are pleased that their conscientious efforts resulted in our son continuing to receive overnight nursing care."
"If you wake up one day and find yourself needing the services of an elder law attorney, Ron M Landsman is your man. One day I did after my husband's hospital stay transitioned to longterm care. What to do? A good friend recommended Ron to me. After the first telephone call, I felt totally de-stressed. I felt as if those problems were lifted from my shoulders."
"Ron M. Landsman was referred to us through an attorney that wrote our wills. He's an expert in medicaid. As he told us, in our meeting he would tell us everything we ever wanted to know and more. That was so true. He patiently repeated himself when we didn't understand and entertained our questions. The experience was well worth our time and his fee.
At the end of our discussion, he recommended that we have a General Power of Attorney. His fee was very reasonable and his staff's patience with our questions and 'back and forth' was wonderful. We must have asked his paralegal the same question a dozen times and each time the response was calm, courteous, and professional. Whether the paralegal was frustrated or not, she never let on. I would and do recommend Ron M. Landsman to those in my social and professional circle."
"Ron Landsman came very highly recommended to me. At our first meeting or two, he laid out what our plan should be to accomplish our needs. Ron was right on and our goals were met with minimum complications. He and his staff were always responsive and reliable.
We thank them for their professionalism and courtesy."
"Mr. Landsman and his professional staff have been a true blessing for our family. Their breadth of knowledge and attention to detail have been crucial in successfully guiding us through a complex situation that involved dealing with asset protection matters across state lines, and helping our father qualify to receive the Medicaid benefits he needs in the Maryland care facility where he lives. At our first meeting I was impressed with the fact that Ron took the time needed to dig deep and get all of the relevant information in order to come up with the client-specific legal and financial strategy that his team helped us put in place. The follow-through from Ron, Vijaya and Sanja is always prompt, efficient, responsive, and accurate -- which is essential, as I live far from Maryland. I have dealt with legal firms throughout the country my entire professional life, and am truly grateful and impressed. I wholeheartedly recommend this team to any family whose loved ones face difficult financial and legal circumstances in their golden years."

Affiliate of Sun Capital Partners, Inc. Sells Fluid Routing Solutions to Park-Ohio Industries, Inc.
Successful Turnaround Through Bankruptcy Process Drives Value
Sun Capital Partners, Inc. ("Sun Capital"), a leading private investment firm specializing in leveraged buyouts and investments in market-leading companies, today announced the signing of a definitive agreement to sell its affiliated portfolio company Fluid Routing Solutions ("FRS" or "the Company"), a designer and manufacturer of fuel management systems and hose extrusion products for major automotive and industrial OEMs. FRS will be purchased by Park-Ohio Industries, Inc., a subsidiary of Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. (NASDAQ: PKOH). The transaction is expected to close by March 30, 2012.
Headquartered in Southfield, MI, FRS sells to automotive and industrial customers in North America, Europe and Asia. FRS was initially acquired by a Sun Capital affiliate in 2007 in a corporate carve-out transaction. At the time of acquisition, FRS had negative cash flow and double-digit EBITDA losses. Despite significant improvements in working capital and right-sizing the cost structure, economic headwinds impacting the entire automotive industry hindered further progress. In March 2009, FRS entered a voluntary bankruptcy process in which an affiliate of Sun Capital provided the debtor-in-possession financing, worked very closely with customers and suppliers to ensure stability and continuity, and reacquired the business through a 363 bankruptcy sale process.
Restructuring efforts at FRS continued, achieving major gains in production and engineering efficiency, the consolidation of various manufacturing facilities, and focused cost-reduction initiatives across the business. As demand in the automotive sector recovered, revenues have increased, resulting in corresponding improvements in EBITDA.
"By carrying out a top-to-bottom restructuring, leaving behind unprofitable business lines and focusing on the viable parts of the business, FRS was well positioned to make gains when the auto industry rebounded," said Marc Leder, Co-CEO at Sun Capital Partners.

Since Trump Signed VA Accountability, More than 500 Employees Have Been Fired

Since President Donald J. Trump signed the VA Accountability and Whistleblower Protection Act, more than 500 employees have been fired. The department is now required to release a monthly report detailing whatever disciplinary actions have been taken during that month each month since the bill was signed.
The VA Accountability and Whistleblower Protection Act is the most significant reform bill or action in the history of the department. The legislation fulfills a major promise made by President Trump on the campaign trail, frequently vowing to fire VA workers "who let our veterans down."
The Adverse Actions Report also shows more than 180 have been put on suspension for a period greater than 14 days. For privacy reasons, the report doesn't include names, but does have information on the position, the region or administration and type of adverse or disciplinary action taken.
"Under this administration, VA is committed to becoming the most transparent organization in government," Secretary David Shulkin said. "Together with the Accountability bill the president signed into law recently, this additional step will continue to shine a light on the actions we're taking to reform the culture at VA."
The Trump Administration has taken veterans' issues head on since January 21, creating the VA accountability office, launching a website that posts wait-times at hospitals and a same-day mental health care initiative at each and every VA facility nationwide.
"Veterans and taxpayers have a right to know what we're doing to hold our employees accountable and make our personnel actions transparent," he continued. "Posting this information online for all to see, and updating it weekly, will do just that."
The President also signed the Veterans Choice Act, which begins permitting qualified veterans to get the care of their choice.
Secretary Shulkin took swift action to address whistleblower concerns at the Manchester, New Hampshire, VA Medical Center. He sent the VA Office of the Medical Inspector and the VA Office of Accountability and Whistleblower Protection to conduct a top-down review of the facility after the Boston Globe reported thousands of patients, including some with life-threatening conditions, were struggling to get any care at the facility.
The conditions were also horrendous.
"These are serious allegations, and we want our Veterans and our staff to have confidence in the care we're providing," the secretary said after reports. "I have been clear about the importance of transparency, accountability and rapidly fixing any and all problems brought to our attention, and we will do so immediately with these allegations."
The secretary removed the director and chief of staff at the facility, pending the outcome of the review. In the meantime, Alfred Montoya, the director of the VAMC in White River Junction, Vermont, is serving as the new director of the Manchester VAMC. The new chief of staff will be announced shortly.
While it passed unanimously in the U.S. Senate by voice vote, the VA Accountability and Whistleblower Protection Act didn't enjoy broad bipartisan support in the U.S. House of Representatives. Even though 368 representatives supported the bill, a significant number of members (55) did not, 54 of them being Democrats.
Rep. Don Young, R-Alaska, was the only Republican to vote "Nay" on the bill (see votes here).

Brief Recent History of VA Scandals
The signing of the bill by President Trump followed several scandals during the Obama Administration that included veterans dying while waiting to get appointments at VA hospitals, most notably in Phoenix, Arizona.
At a facility in Tomah, Wisconsin, patients called the chief of staff the "Candy Man" because he widely distributed narcotics for a $4,000 bonus, even after a patient named Jason Simcakoski died of an overdose. Incredibly, this was after an investigation uncovered that he was overprescribing.
The previous administration repeatedly claimed to have learned of the conditions at these VA facilities only after news reports exposed them, including allegations from a doctor at the Huntington VA Medical Center in Charleston, West Virginia.
Dr. Margaret Moxness, a psychiatrist, said in 2014 she was ordered to delay the treatment of veterans for months and that at least two of them had committed suicide.

Mark, Ben, and Julie
— Quote from Janaia Donaldson's Review of YERT —
"This well-produced overview of important environmental issues and sampler of creative responses is optimistic without being pollyanna. We loved it. Smiles amid the serious stuff and the inspiring innovators. A chance to meet some of our heros and watch young people learn lots. We hope to follow in their footsteps and bring Peak Moment TV viewers longer chats with many of YERT's interviewees. With five film festival awards (and counting), YERT is an inspiring one-movie environmental film festival for EveryTown. "

Q: Want to give ranking for Auto mandate attempt transaction and reset the ranking when next auto transaction starts to continue the subscription Monthly subscribed user (1st Sep'22) is on recurring state and at the time of expiry (1st Oct'22), bank will hit for the mandate payment to get charge and continue the service.
Here possibilities will be 1st attempt might get fail on (1st Oct'22) , 2nd attempt might also get fail on (3rd Oct'22), 3rd attempt also get failed on (4th Oct'22) but in the 4rth attempt on (7th Oct'22) payment get successful.
So, the rank/Txn_no would be
| User             | txn_date     | Status  | Txn_no   | Type    | **basic info of data**
| --------         | --------     |-------- | -------- |-------- |
| akshay@xyz.com   | 1st Sep'22   | Success |   0      | Mannual | Fresh Purchased date
| akshay@xyz.com   | 1st Oct'22   | Failed  |   1      | Auto    |  1st Expiry date
| akshay@xyz.com   | 3rd Oct'22   | Failed  |   2      | Auto    |
| akshay@xyz.com   | 4th Oct'22   | Failed  |   3      | Auto    |
| akshay@xyz.com   | 7th Oct'22   | Success |   4      | Auto    |  2nd Purchase success Date
| akshay@xyz.com   | 8th nov'22   | Failed  |   1      | Auto    |  2nd Expiry Date
| akshay@xyz.com   | 9th nov'22   | Failed  |   2      | Auto    |
| akshay@xyz.com   | 12'th nov'22 | Failed  |   3      | Auto    |
| akshay@xyz.com   | 15th nov'22  | Failed  |   4      | Auto    |
| akshay@xyz.com   | 16th nov'22  | Success |   5      | Auto    |  3rd Purchase success date

This is the result I want in column name "Txn_no" only on Type="auto" want the ranking or count. Don't include mannual txn type in ranking because this ranking is only for auto attempt transaction.
column results will be "user, txn date, status, Txn_no, type
I tried this one
with table2 as (
select user, status, payment_date, (case when status="success" then 1 else 0 end) as reset_flag,
Row_number() over(partition by user, (case when status="SUCCESS" then 1 else 2 end) order by txn_date asc) as Txn_no
from table1
where type = "auto"
      AND user = "akshay@xyz.com")
, select *, sum(reset_flag) over (partition by user order by txn_date) as grp
             from table2

Output:
| User             | txn_date     | Status  | reset_flag |  Txn_no  |  grp    |
| --------         | --------     |-------- | ---------- | -------- |-------- |
| akshay@xyz.com   | 1st Oct'22   | Failed  |     0      |     1    |    0    |
| akshay@xyz.com   | 3rd Oct'22   | Failed  |     0      |     2    |    0    |
| akshay@xyz.com   | 4th Oct'22   | Failed  |     0      |     3    |    0    |
| akshay@xyz.com   | 7th Oct'22   | Success |     1      |     1    |    1    |
| akshay@xyz.com   | 8th Nov'22   | Failed  |     0      |     4    |    1    |
| akshay@xyz.com   | 9th Nov'22   | Failed  |     0      |     5    |    1    |
| akshay@xyz.com   | 12'th Nov'22 | Failed  |     0      |     6    |    1    |
| akshay@xyz.com   | 15th Nov'22  | Failed  |     0      |     7    |    1    |
| akshay@xyz.com   | 16th Nov'22  | Success |     1      |     2    |    2    |

I tried this but nothing comes with a solution.
Anybody here can help, would really appreciate.

All those who watched the U.S. Open women's final match were probably struck with a range of emotions. For those that did not watch, this was not your average tennis match. Serena Williams was first given a warning for possible coaching, then had a point taken away for breaking her racket, a US Open Code Violation. Williams, still upset about the accusal of being coached earlier, said to the umpire, "How dare you question my character. I've never cheated in my life." and proceeded to call him a "thief" for which she received a game penalty for verbal abuse. Her opponent, Naomi Osaka, played an exceptional game, and despite being given one point and one game, fought with everything she had the rest of the match and went on to defeat her idol Serena Williams in the U.S. Open 2018 Women's Final.
Obviously, neither losing or winning the way they did was ideal for either competitor. In Serena's case, she probably felt she was stripped of a point and game she could have won, and perhaps felt her entire mindset was disrupted from the start. In Osaka's case, she probably discredited her truly incredible victory over a tennis icon by telling herself that Serena was inhibited from maximizing her potential.
Initially, the Trophy Celebration was the most heartbreaking victory ceremony I've ever watched. The crowd booed reporter Tom Rinaldi when he began the introduction. Osaka covered her face and tears with her visor. Tears escaped down the solemn faces of both players. The crowd continued to boo as Rinaldi asked Williams the first question. It was unfortunate, really, that in the midst of Osaka's apparent disappointment, the masses were not more empathetic. They chose to use their voices in a way that only affirmed Osaka's doubts of winning fairly, and likely made her feel alienated and unsupported in a moment where they should be roaring in applause. This was the culmination of years of hard work. This was her dream of living, and beating, her role model. This was history: the first Japanese American to reach and then win a Grand Slam singles final. As I sat, watching Naomi's smile-less face, I was angry. This should be her moment to shine, and the entire crowd is ignoring the value in all of that.
Yet in the midst of this uncomfortably sad ceremony, there was a moment of inspiration. When the microphone was passed to Serena, she declined further questioning and instead spoke firmly to her loyal fans saying, "I just want to tell you guys, she played well, and this is her first Grand Slam. Let's not boo anymore. Let's be positive. Congratulations, Naomi."
The booing ceased and was replaced with applause. Both players accepted their respective awards and held them up with a strong embrace.
I am not implying that the way this event ended was perfect – in fact, it certainly was not. I don't know who is to blame for derailing the match from a healthy competition to one of tears and regrets. But the point is, we don't always have to assign blame. Athletes make mistakes. Umpires make mistakes. We all make mistakes. It can be hard not to let emotions get in the way in critical times or to know what the right call in quickly fleeting moments. So to command a crowd to quit the bitter, unproductive jeers and start being respectful is a brave act that shows signs of a strong leader. It showed Serena's ability to be the bigger person despite being in an aggravating situation in which she was called out for something that other athletes do frequently, and yet are not penalized for.
These concepts of being the bigger person, ignoring the blame, and instead focusing on the positive apply for more than sports. They should apply to politics. They should apply to life. We find ourselves in a society that is so quick to blame, and it often blinds us from seeing true victories in front of our eyes. If more people can show the kind of compassion that Serena did for Osaka, if more leaders can direct negative energy into a force of positivity, if we can recognize instances where supporting one cause is not mutually exclusive with supporting another, we will create a society that works together instead of against each other.
Prior to playing each other in this match, Osaka had been asked what her message for Williams was. Her response, "I love you", stunned the crowd and the world of tennis. But for Osaka, it was not confusing or stunning to love her competitor. On the contrary, competing with someone she admired gave her motivation to succeed. Not only did Osaka prove to the world tonight that she was a tennis champion, but both of these strong, empowered women proved that they were champions of love, champions of compassion.
So, now I ask of you, young leaders, who else will take on that title?

The Baghdad Bombing: Why the UN Is a Target
by Paul Reynolds / BBC Online –
http://news.bbc.co.uk/go/pr/fr/-/2/hi/middle_east/3164675.stm
"The Council welcomes the establishment of the broadly representative Governing Council of Iraq as an important step towards representative government."
— Security Council resolution 1500 (August 14, 2003)
BAGHDAD (August 19, 2003) — The attack on UN headquarters in Baghdad, in which the Special Representative Sergio Vieira de Mello died, might have been carried out not only because the Iraqi resistance objects to all occupiers. There could have been a specific reason as well, tied to a vote in the Security Council last week.
On 14 August, the Council gave its approval to the recently formed Iraqi Governing Council and it also approved the establishment of a United National Assistance Mission in Iraq (Unami). The UN might therefore have been seen by the Iraqi resistance as an instrument of the United States and Britain in their occupation of the country.
Whether Mr. de Mello was an individual target is not known. It is comparatively rare for senior UN figures to be attacked, though lower level workers close to the action do from time to time get killed by design or accident.
The most infamous killing in UN history was that of Count Folke Bernadotte who was shot by Israeli extremists in Jerusalem in 1948. Bernadotte was UN Mediator in Palestine and had angered the Jewish underground by recommending that Jerusalem become an international city.
In our day and especially post 9/11 it should perhaps be no surprise that the UN should again be singled out. And those who opposed it could claim cause.
By approving the Governing Council of Iraqis appointed by the Coalition Provisional Authority, the Security Council put its weight behind the move towards an eventual democratic Iraq. By setting up the Assistance Mission, the UN was throwing its influence and resources behind that same move.
Whether those behind the attack were supporters of the old regime or Islamists intent on making Iraq a new battleground, the United Nations presented a target.
Security Council resolution 1500 said that the Council "welcomes the establishment of the broadly representative Governing Council of Iraq on 13 July 2003 as an important step towards the formation by the people of Iraq of an internationally recognized, representative government that will exercise the sovereignty of Iraq."
An accompanying report by the Secretary General Kofi Annan listed a number of ways in which the 300-strong Assistance Mission Unami could assist in that process — from helping the national political dialogue, training police, establishing a media centre, setting up an electoral process and delivering aid.
Huge Blow to UN
The attack on UN headquarters was not the first time the Iraqi resistance has targeted the UN. In July, UN offices in Mosul were attacked and staff in the city had to be reduced for their own safety. UN flights were switched from Mosul to Irbil.
On 29 June shots were fired outside the now-bombed headquarters of the organization in Baghdad itself, the Canal Hotel.
But this attack is something far bigger and is a huge blow not just for the UN operations in Iraq but for the hopes of those who want a much bigger UN role in the country. This attack might have also been intended to try to stop any greater UN presence, especially a peacekeeping force.
Currently in New York, discussions are going on about how to increase the UN role. One British official said that it was a "live issue." However, it does not appear to be moving very fast.
Reluctant Peacekeepers
Some countries, led by France, want the UN to be much more of an equal with the Coalition Authority (that is the Americans and British). The resolution laying out what the UN should do in Iraq — 1463 — gives it a rather secondary position, for example in helping to form the Governing Council. It could advise, but the Coalition decides.
In addition, many governments (India was an important recent example) will not send troops to help in peacekeeping in Iraq without a UN mandate. But if the resistance is now targeting the UN itself, then those countries will be reluctant to help even with a mandate.
The United Nations was seen by many as the solution to the present crisis. This attack may force them to think again.

While it is not the most popular amongst tourists as neighbouring Mallorca or Ibiza, it is still the second largest of Spain's Balearic Islands. Many tourists who come to Menorca consider it to be a more peaceful and natural getaway than some of the other islands.
This makes Menorca a great destination for those going on holiday with families, looking to explore nature or simply those who want a relaxing quiet get away. Here are some of the attractions that will help you get the most out of your trip to the island.
The mountain of El Toro is the highest point on the island and offers those who climb to its peak some stunning panoramic photos which will help you appreciate the natural beauty of this fantastic island. The mountain only reaches just less than 400 meters in height so it is not a hard hike to the top although it is quite exciting as you approach the top and begin to see your rewards. The climb itself will take around 2 hours and not previous experience is needed.
One of the best things about the beaches on Menorca is that they are like many of the other attractions on the island, wonderfully uncrowded. Beaches like Es Grau are large and have lots of spots for you to relax on the sand or go for a dip in the sea. There are other options scattered around the island as well and for those with the time to explore, you can find your very own isolated spot of sand.
Menorca has some great opportunities for water sports with plenty of scuba diving to be had here. Many ship wrecks lie in the oceans around the island and make for a great way to spend your day exploring. Certification courses are available from the dive shops should you be inexperienced.
There are other water sports you can take part in on the beaches around the island such as kayaking and sailing. Be sure to compare flights to Menorca online to find the best deals and save you some money before you go on holiday.
Like many of the Balearic Islands, Menorca has a great cultural and historical past. It is easy to explore this past via any of the museums on the island such as the Museum of Menorca. This museum houses some interesting exhibits and impressive artefacts while tracing the history of the island back to the Roman times when it was occupied. There are also exhibits of the Moorish and Byzantine eras and the museum also houses some modern day history concerning the World Wars.
Visiting the capital of Mao and you will get to experience the laid back and slower pace of life that the locals enjoy here. Anywhere you go there are plenty of freshly prepared seafood dishes making the island a delight for fish lovers. There is also a distillery where Menorca's very own unique gin is made and is drunk all over the island as a staple in the bars and cafes you will come across.

lamictal costco As we've said repeatedly, we believe that expanding Tiffany's store presence and marketing, especially in China, increases brand awareness and stimulates local sales demand, but also is a catalyst for spending by Chinese customers when they travel to other regions. When we analyze our performance in Japan, we believe it's most relevant, especially now, to examine sales growth in local currency because of the substantial weakening of the yen versus the dollar over the past year. And just as other foreign brands have done, we've increased retail prices in Japan this year to address that weaker yen. When measured in local currency, we're pleased that total sales rose 7% in the quarter and comparable store sales rose 8% on top of the 10% comp increase in last year's second quarter. This exceeded our expectation. The total sales growth in yen was due to an increase in the average price per jewelry unit sold. While the overall unit decline in the quarter reflected declines in moderate-priced fashion jewelry categories, it was partly offset by unit growth in engagement and higher-end jewelry.

Tools, not rules. For screenwriters.
Writers are Stuck In Love
Stuck in Love is about a dysfunctional family of writers I wish had been mine. Originally titled Writers, the 2013 release from first-time writer/director Josh Boone (The Fault in Our Stars) is loaded with great writing tips and scenes that budding novelists and screenwriters will find particularly relatable. Here are five of my favorites.
"I remember that it hurt. Looking at her hurt." These are the first words in the film. Rusty (Nat Wolff), the protagonist, writes them in his journal while staring at his secret crush, Kate (Liana Liberato), asleep at her desk in their high school English class.
The film emphasizes the importance of opening lines by having them spoken in voiceover and written across the screen like a meme. Later, Rusty's father, Will (Greg Kinnear), a famous novelist, thumbs through his son's journal and those words pop out at him (not literally, this time). "If that was the opening line of a book," he says, "you'd have your reader hooked."
Novelists agonize over the first words of their novels. The start of a movie is just as important. When I was little, for reasons I've never figured out, I used to keep track of the first and last lines of my favorite movies. But movies are visual. The first spoken words in a screenplay are not necessarily as important as the opening image.
A movie needs to pull the viewer into its world from the first frame the way a novel draws in a reader with its first carefully chosen words. Who can't relate to sitting in a schoolroom next to that unapproachable boy or girl who's so pretty your heart aches? This opening image, and its accompanying line, sets Rusty's story into action.
Kate is hardly the reader Rusty is, but she responds quite favorably to the passionate way he speaks about his favorite author, Stephen King. I've experienced similar reactions while lost in conversations of my favorite movies, musicians, or even some of my own writing.
When pitching a screenplay, the material is never enough to sell itself. Development execs have already heard every story that can be written. Experts say passion is contagious. People get excited about something that someone else is excited about. Whether you're trying to get someone's clothes off or just get them to read your *#$%@! script, show them that something matters to you.
On the Stuck in Love DVD commentary, Josh Boone notes how the Stephen King books on the shelf on the bottom left corner of the frame are in the exact same arrangement they were in his own room when he was a teenager. Nat Wolff has to remind him that nobody's paying attention to the bookshelf when there's a half-naked underage girl on the screen, to which Boone is almost oblivious. This is how you know this is a movie about something that really matters to the filmmaker, and something that matters to his characters just as much.
Rusty's sister, Sam (Lily Collins), is also a writer. Her first novel is being published. Much to her father's dismay, it's not the one he had helped her with.
Even outside of writing, anyone can relate to growing up and reaching that point where you want to accomplish something without your parents' help. The actress related to this aspect of her role from having chosen acting to differentiate her career path from that of her father's, rock star Phil Collins. For me, it was buying a car. My father had handled everything the first time. The second time, I didn't even tell him I was looking for another until I rolled up in front of his house in my new wheels.
Sam's dilemma is more personal, as it pertains to her writing, a part of her soul. But her angst is not necessarily tied to the helping editorial hand coming from a parent. The book Toxic Feedback by Joni Cole talks about how the goal of giving feedback on writing is to find what the writer is trying to say, then helping her find the best way to express it in her own voice. Too often, "notes" are more about the feedback provider trying to rewrite a piece the way he would write it. New writers need to be careful not to implement every suggestion they get from a writers group, or the work will no longer feel like it came from you.
At the inevitable boy-loses-girl beat of Stuck in Love, Rusty has lost his inspiration to write. His father tries to help, but knows he is powerless. Writing comes from within. He's confident his son still has the writing bug in him, but he'll have to find it for himself.
No one is ever forced to write a screenplay or a novel, and yet such documents do get written. Not by thinking about writing them, or talking about it, or planning to get around to it one day when you have more time and have read the latest how-to-write-a-screenplay-in-24-hours book. Books and movies get written because someone sits down and writes them. Those people are called writers. No one else may claim that title or award it to you.
Rusty's father hasn't written anything new since his divorce. The books he's published since then were started before his wife (Jennifer Connelly) left him, which doesn't count because that's just rewriting. He's good at that. In fact, he wishes he could rewrite his life. There are things he'd be able to fix.
In a sense, writing is a chance to rewrite experiences from our own lives, but better. Stuck in Love itself is a semi-autobiographical example. "I was in love with a girl in high school named Kate," Boone reveals on the commentary, "and Nat Wolff plays kind of a version of myself. Like a sexier, more talented version of me." Rusty's parents' post-divorce relationship is among Boone's other revisions from his own life.
Interestingly, the line about rewriting was a rewrite itself. Greg Kinnear came up with the idea, and Boone worked it into the script. Similarly, Jennifer Connelly felt her character needed to be in one scene, a book release party for Sam, in which she did not originally appear in the script. The rewritten version ended up being the most emotionally powerful moment of the film.
Rewriting is not fixing typos. Good rewriting pushes you to make your script the best it can be in ways you never thought possible.
Stuck in Love is available on DVD, Blu-ray, Amazon streaming, and Netflix. Director Josh Boone's next movie, The Fault in our Stars, adapted by Scott Neustadter & Michael H. Weber ((500) Days of Summer, The Spectacular Now) from the best-selling novel by John Green, opens on June 6. Boone is also adapting Stephen King's The Stand.

This is the first bullet line which every one would write when asked about Object Oriented Programming(OOPs). In college, when any student answers this, we could hear a huge laugh from every corner of the room teasing that the student has memorized as in textbook.
However the fact is that, this is a simple and single line definition to OOPs. All other concepts and techniques just helps to match with real world objects. It is too hard to teach, or even talk about OOPs to the person who doesn't realize this definition.
Well, consider a simple banking application. Except the building of the bank and papers; all others are intangible objects!!! Then how could they possibly be mapped with real world objects? So, it is important to understand that Real world object doesn't mean some tangible objects. It is just how we assume and map it in our mind with some physical entity.
Once we are able to map it with some real world object, then we could easily write code to give life to that object; tell how to behave when alone and when teams with some other objects; how much information to share and how to share it; what to inherit from parents and what to give to children; and finally how to die.
