You want to expose HANA views as OData services. This document shows you how to do so using the development features within the HANA Studio. You have probably read Thomas Jungs excellent post on SAP HANA Extended Application Services (http://scn.sap.com/community/developer-center/hana/blog/2012/11/29/sap-hana-extended-application-services) – if not, you definitely should. What I want to show in this post is how to expose views (attribute, analytical or graphical views) with OData and focus on the development features in the SAP HANA Studio.
Double click on your system in the Administration Console perspective.
Enter any value you like. As this is a system setting it is customary to take e.g. the domain of your company ('sap.com' for example).
Click on Delivery Unit in the Modeler perspective. Make sure that you have selected the correct system.
Create a new delivery unit and give it any name you like. The name will be used for identifying the delivery unit (as a tuple with the already set content vendor ID).
We have created an empty delivery unit and may assign packages to it at a later stage.
If you want to use your own data model that's just fine. The idea here is to show how to expose a view as an OData service. If you don't have any view yet, you can follow the example based on the SFLIGHT data.
Details on how to import data can be found in the SAP HANA Developer Guide ( http://help.sap.com/hana_appliance ). The SFLIGHT data model isn't very complicated and used in many SAP tutorials. If you're new to SFLIGHT, that's OK, too. All we're doing is creating two views. For this you will probably use the Modeling perspective in the HANA Studio.
In the navigator pane, when you expand your system you will find three folders: Catalog, Security and Content. Right click on Content and choose New->Package. Give it any name you like, e.g. teamdemo .
Create an attribute view in the package based on the table STRAVELAG. Choose MANDT, AGENCYNUM, NAME, CITY, COUNTRY and LANGU as columns. If you don't know how, you can find an XML version of the attribute view in the appendix.
All we're doing in this attribute view is choosing a subset of the table.
Create an analytic view in the package with the table SBOOK as the data foundation. Mark FORCURKEY, AGENCYNUM, MANDT and FORCURAM as columns. Create a join with the previously created attribute view and join AGENCYNUM and MANDT. In the semantics, choose aggregation type SUM for the measure FORCURAM. If you're not sure how to do this exactly, you can find the xml version of the analytic view in the appendix.
What we're doing here in this analytic view is basically summing up all revenues for each travel agency in their respective currency.
Don't forget to activate both views.
For details on how to model in HANA, please refer to the SAP HANA documentation.
Up to now we've used the Administration Console perspective for setting the content vendor ID and for creating a delivery unit and the Modeling perspective for creating the views. We have not yet used the SAP HANA Development perspective. The idea behind the different perspectives is (apart from it being a standard Eclipse concept) that of the segregation of duties. The HANA models (the attribute and analytic views we have created) require a know-how of the data model and underlying business problem. It cannot be assumed that the developer (which takes over now in this document) is the same person as the modeler. Much like the modeler will most likely not be the person that administers HANA.
Choose the SAP HANA Development perspective. Click on the SAP HANA Repositories Tab. Right Click -> New Repository Workspace. A window will pop up with a list of systems/users that you have already assigned in your HANA Studio. If you can't find it, choose Add System. Give the workspace a name (e.g. Demoworkspace) and a location where you want to save it (e.g. C:\Users\John\workspace ).
Expand your repository workspace and chose the package in which you have created the views (e.g. teamdemo). Right click and check out. This actually transfers the files on your local disk. You should now see the views you have created on your disk (using e.g. your Windows File Explorer) at e.g. C:\Users\John\workspace\Demoworkspace\teamdemo\ .
Now we have created a local copy of the repository workspace on disk. However, in eclipse you have to develop within a project. Therefore select the Project Explorer Tab. Right Click -> New Project.. Choose General->Project and enter a project name (e.g. DemoProject).
Now do not use the default location. De-select it and choose the workspace path where you have checked out the repository (e.g. C:\Users\John\workspace\Demoworkspace\teamdemo in the example above). Choose finish.
Now that we have created an eclipse project (in the underlying downloaded repository folder) we need to tell the HANA repository that we will use this eclipse project directory for our development, so that we'll be able to commit to the HANA repository. This is achieved by sharing the project. Right click on the project (e.g. DemoProject) and choose Team->Share Project. Select the item SAP HANA Repository and click Next and then Finish.
Now we're ready to start developing. You can see little orange bubbles in the document icon next to the views. This means that the state of these files is committed and activated. You'll see the difference between committed and activated in a second.
If we want to expose a view as an OData service, we need to create three files.
Right click on the project and choose New->File. The corresponding project should be pre-selected. As a file name you must use .xsapp . Leave the file empty. This file is required to exist in order to tell the XS engine that there is an XS application in this package.
Details of other parameters for the .xsaccess file can be found in the developer guide.
This service definition assumes that the view AN_AGENCY_REV is in the package teamdemo. It exposes the service as Revenue (you'll see this in the URL later on). Further details of the syntax may be found in the respective developer guide.
You'll notice the different symbols. The orange bubbles indicate that the version of the file is activated. The gray diamond indicates that the file was committed, but not activated. The dark rectangle with the star means that the file was not yet committed.
Now you need to commit and activate the files. Right click on the file and choose Team->Commit. Then right click again on the same file and chose Team->Activate. This has to be done for all three created files.
Now you should have a working XS OData service.
http://yourhost:8001/teamdemo/revenue.xsodata (assuming that your package is called teamdemo).
This will yield the result of the analytic view as JSON. You may now use the OData features like $filter etc. For more on OData, please see http://www.odata.org.
Thanks for the nice presentation.
When I try to display the metadata, the odata returns the definition, but when I use the Entity Name to retrieve the data, I get the above error.
looks like you need to set the privileges.
I have two input parameters in my view i have created XSODATA file and services as you described. I dont know how to pass those parameters to the odata service. i dont know the syntax for adding parameters to the Xodata file. Kindly help me out.
Hey Did you get answer/solution for your question? I am also having the same issue.
activation is correct, but when try to access the odata service I get an error saying that feature not supported!
PS. In my analytic view I have more than one measure, should I specify the aggregation function for all of them, if yes how to do so?
edit: problem solved, I was actually accessing the data in the wrong way!
so I specify in the select parameter what exactly I want to see and voila!
one Question: can i try this example on hanatrial.ondemand.com?
Presumably. However, keep in mind that this post refers to HANA SP5 (it was posted over a year ago). Try it out.
1) Can we expose multiple tables/views via 1 service? There is nothing like a multiple result set i.e. returns multiple tables for a single query?
2) Can we for example call a procedure in OData Service that returns for a single query multiple tables back?
I am far from an expert, but seeing as no one else has attempted to answer this question, I will give it a try.
My understanding is that OData is really about exposing a data model and allowing applications to navigate through the model.
I'm not sure if this will help, but I suggest reading up on OData associations (HANA developer guide page 386) and navigation (HANA developer guide page 389). Adding navigation properties (require associations to work) allows nice client side binding for single page applications.
If you truly want all the data in one call you could always create a view in hana studio and extend that view as an OData service.
Also, RDL (River Development Language) is helpful for creating multidimensional objects if you have River installed on your server.
Yes you can call multiple tables/views as separate entities within one XSODATA service. If you want to return multiple entities within one request you must build associations between them. Normally child entities are only loaded upon demand, but you can use the $expand URL parameter and explode child details in place within one request/response.
No you can not call a procedure from within an OData Service. Not directly at least. You can wrap a procedure within a Scripted Calculation view and use that as the source of your entity. Of course once you have a Scripted Calculation view you can only have one result set.
I like this blog because it includes various conceptual points that help us.
Thanks Jens for nice blog sharing.
How to access the Hana Xs Odata url to third party tool ,since we encounter the authorization page as main page for the odata service ( where it allow only after authorization to view the meta data).Can we set the default username with password for the odata url.
Is it possible to influence the metadata generated by the XS OData service? With annotations for example?
I successfully created xsodata service and able to test the service in browser with various parameters. And all works fine.
I have a query .
Hi Suchin, I believe you could achieve this by leveraging the "rewrite_rules " object within the application access (.xsaccess) file for your project.


The closed qualifiers for DreamLeague Season 10 have concluded in all six regions, determining eight teams that will take part in the first Dota 2 minor of the season.
The closed qualifiers in all regions were held on September 25-26 and featured a similar format: four teams (two invited ones and two open qualifiers winners) competed in a double-elimination format with best-of-three series, with North America and Europe receiving two slots at the main event, while the other regions will have only one representative each.
The main event will take place on October 29 – November 4 at DreamHack Studios in Stockholm, Sweden. The participants will compete for a $300,000 prize pool and 500 Pro Circuit Points, while the winner of the event will qualify for The Kuala Lumpur Major.


охра, Ochre or ocher is a natural clay earth pigment which is a mixture of ferric oxide and varying amounts of clay and sand. It ranges in color from yellow to deep orange or brown. It is also the name of the colors produced by this pigment, especially a light brownish-yellow. A variant of ochre containing a large amount of hematite, or dehydrated iron oxide, has a reddish tint known as "red ochre".
The word ochre is also used of clays colored with iron oxide, obtained as a by-product of tin and copper extraction.

The UK's capital was founded by the Romans shortly after they invaded in 43AD. Since then it's evolved into one of the greatest cities on earth. From a bloody, squalid history to the vanguard of fashion in the Swinging 1960s to the buzzing metropolis it is today, London has something for everyone. There are very British pursuits like the Oxford and Cambridge boat race, changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace and an impressive collection of traditional English pubs. And that's not to mention world-renowned arts venues, galleries and museums, award-winning theatre and unrivalled shopping – all found within a few Tube stops of each other.
London's royal history is not to be missed. Visitors can roam around one of Britain's finest medieval castles and royal prison, and learn about the final days of Anne Boleyn at the Tower of London or, for the less bloodthirsty, visit the Queen's London home, Buckingham Palace. Don't miss out on exploring the capital's Royal Parks – from St James' Park and Hyde Park in the centre to the majestic Hampton Court and wilderness of Richmond Park in the southwest.

Collaborative Research Center (SFB) 700 "Governance in Areas of Limited Statehood"
Gateways for
Press and Politics
2. Sources of empirical legitimacy of governance
The preceding research of the SFB 700 suggests a particular importance of empirical legitimacy. We thus aim to clarify how empirical legitimacy arises as a presumable key condition of effective governance. Due to which normative reasons do the persons affected endorse governance? In doing so, we focus on the following sources of legitimacy:
Participation and procedural fairness
Concerned parties' participation in political decisions is an important source of legitimacy and contributes to procedural legitimacy (input und throughput legitimacy). For the participatory mechanism to function persons affected must be able to act (which in turn requires social trust; see above). In areas of limited statehood, there exist locally varying forms of participation aside from voting and elections, such as consensual decision-making or ad hoc and topic-based appointment of representatives towards community outsiders. The historical perspective, taken in some sub-projects of the SFB 700, demonstrates the importance of reflecting on differing ideas of legitimacy. Governance constellations are to be evaluated according to appropriate context-specific criteria of participation and procedure.
Anticipated effectiveness
The expected or actual effectiveness of governance as perceived by the concerned parties strengthens or weakens the legitimacy of a governance-constellation (output legitimacy). As legitimacy, in turn, constitutes a condition for success of effective governance, the relationship is reciprocal.
Specific properties of governance actors
The readiness to comply and authority are necessary conditions of effective governance. They can be generated through different means, e.g. through formal public office. In areas of limited statehood, empirical legitimacy usually derives from specific properties that are attributed to governing actors. We differentiate legitimacy by (specialized) knowledge (e.g. experts), by moral or religious competence (e.g. NGOs as norm-entrepreneurs) or by ethnic, identity-based ascription (e.g. chiefs).
Localizing and transmitting external norms
External governance-transfersare more likely to be recognized when the promoted norms and values build upon local concepts and practices. We are interested in the conditions under which adaptation of governance-services to the desired context (through localization and transmission) contributes to the legitimacy of governance.

Prior to becoming a patient of Dr. Grayson Blom I had spent over 20+ years in the Army, and throughout that time, I injured my back on more than one occasion. Over the years I suffered from chronic pain throughout my whole body and especially in my lower back. Then one day I was talking to a friend and she suggested that I go see Dr. Grayson Blom. I was very hesitant and skeptical about going and seeing a Chiropractor.
I talked to my family doctor and also my knee surgeon. My knee surgeon recommended me to see a neurologist doctor. The neurologist talked to me about doing surgery on my back. I was not going to have that done because most people that I knew that had back surgery ended up worse than the day before the surgery.
Dr. Grayson Blom took the time to explain to me how the body actually works and he also gave me pamphlets to read so I could further understand how the bones, muscles, and nervous system work in our bodies.
I am very glad that I went to see him. I don't suffer from all the pain that I used to have and I don't have to take all of those drugs anymore. Most people don't realize that taking a lot of drugs just masks the problem and it really doesn't fix the problem. Over the years of taking drugs you can end up having, or creating, new and different problems. My life has changed quite a bit now and that is why I have taken the time to write this testimonial. Now I tell all of my friends about upper cervical care. It will definitely make a difference in your life. For those people who may be thinking about having back surgery, don't do it until you check with an upper cervical provider first.
Dr. Grayson Blom is a Boise, Idaho native that works with a nationwide group of Doctors expertly trained and specializing in the Upper Cervical procedure. Dr. Blom is also one of the few Doctors in the state of Idaho trained and certified in the Upper Cervical procedure. We are dedicated to helping patients just like you who suffer from chronic pain, low back pain, headaches, back pain and other spinal-related disorders.

Based on an interview with BEI Senior Research Director, Mr. Faiz Sobhan, China's Xinhua news agency published an article on China's Belt and Road Initiative
Based on an interview with BEI Senior Research Director, Mr. Faiz Sobhan, China's Xinhua news agency published an article on China's Belt and Road Initiative on 17 September 2018.
Interview: Belt and Road Initiative, grand vision for opening up, connecting world: Bangladeshi expert
by Naim-Ul-Karim
DHAKA, Sept. 17 (Xinhua) — China's Belt and Road Initiative that envisions a great win-win connectivity between multiple countries is bringing plenty of opportunities to the world, a Bangladeshi expert told Xinhua in an interview.
Faiz Sobhan, senior research director at the Bangladesh Enterprise Institute (BEI), a leading Bangladeshi think-tank, made the remarks on the occasion of the fifth anniversary of the creation of the Belt and Road Initiative that Chinese President Xi Jinping in the fall of 2013 first proposed while visiting Kazakhstan and Indonesia.
Xi's idea is more than just an infrastructure plan, Sobhan said, it is a comprehensive strategy that also focuses on creating a shared future in a fractured world.
"Today we live in highly globalized world and as such global connectivity has become quintessential if any country wishes to increase their economic and social indicators by developing stronger ties beyond their national boundaries," said Sobhan, who has over two decades of experience on a wide range of international political, economic, social and security issues.
Sobhan, who spent 13 years at the Commonwealth Secretariat in London prior to joining BEI, said China has always been known to be a very forward-looking nation and, has thus embarked on the Belt and Road Initiative.
Sobhan praised the remarkable progress China has made in the past decades.
"China has made remarkable strides in the economic sphere during the past two decades in particular," said the expert, who studied at the University of London and George Mason University in the United States.
He said China's leadership has maintained a visionary outlook and continued on the path of economic and social development both at home and abroad.
"The Belt and Road Initiative is, in that same vein, a grand vision China has had for helping to open up the world," said the expert, whose research includes issues related to regional cooperation, security, radicalization, terrorism, counter-terrorism, preventing and countering violent extremism.
"It is a unique and monumental project with the hope that all the countries connected to it, should openly embrace it."
South Asian countries, such as Bangladesh, over the past two decades have made tremendous economic and social strides, said the senior BEI research director.
Yet the countries in the region are still suffering from a massive infrastructure deficit, thus they now have ample opportunities to use the Belt and Road Initiative as a vehicle to strengthen regional connectivity, he said.
In particular, Bangladesh which is a geo-strategically located nation and is considered a bridge to South and Southeast Asian countries, can avail the opportunity, said Sobhan.
It is good that from the beginning of the Belt and Road Initiative, Bangladesh has expressed an interest in being a part of this grand project, as it was well aware of that it can only stand to benefit, the professor said.
In the area of infrastructure development, Bangladesh has made remarkable gains in recent years thanks to China for its all-out support.
"Work on a number of mega-projects, such as the Padma Bridge, supported by China, is progressing well and Bangladesh aims to continue developing its infrastructure," Sobhan said, adding that Bangladesh is well aware that the foundation of any strong economy is to have excellent infrastructure in place to foster economic growth and development.
"For this reason, Bangladesh is suitably placed to be an important Belt and Road Initiative player in the years to follow," said the expert.

SEABURY BLAIR JR.: One tent is not nearly enough
Sun | West Sound
Seabury Blair Jr., e-mail: skiberry@aol.com — Aug 25th, 2000
Perhaps I've said this before, but it is so important that it begs to be repeated: A person cannot own too many tents. I myself own four tents and despite my constant bitching, B.B. Hardbody continues to insist that her measly single tent is sufficient.
"What are you going to do when your measly single tent gets wet, or starts to smell like barf when you leave it rolled up in the closet?" I ask her.
"That's simple, dewhead," she says. "I'll use one of yours." (Hardbody always uses terms of endearment when talking to me. Some are so dear that they cannot be repeated here.)
I just bought a new tent and it is a beauty. I got it on sale at Target. I bragged about it to B.B. and all she said was that I was mispronouncing "Target."
"It's French, you know. It's pronounced 'Tar-zhay.'"
It is a big 6-person tent with a full-coverage rainfly. That means that the rainfly covers the tent from the very tippy-top to the very bottomy-bottom.
Unless your tent comes equipped with scuba gear, a full-coverage rainfly is essential to any tent you intend to use around here.
Hardbody's first question: "Why do we need a 6-person tent? There's only you and me and Tar, the Wunderhund."
"You can never tell when guests may drop in unexpectedly," I explain. "Besides, it's not like we have to carry this tent anywhere. It's a car-camping tent."
"That's good," she says, "because it weighs more than the car."
That's one thing I've noticed about women. They tend to exaggerate whenever they are expected to carry the object they are talking about. This is true with everything except their purses, which they insist have nothing in them, but weigh at least 40 pounds.
My new tent had only one minor design flaw. It needed a window, so I decided to sew one into the full-coverage rainfly myself. As some of you may remember, I have taken sewing lessons and am an accomplished seamster.
Hardbody says that I can only sew so-so.
I went to my favorite sewing store, Seam Ripper Sam's, and talked to Vinny, the salesperson. I explained that I needed some vinyl for a tent window.
"What about seam-binding?" Vinny asked. "You've got to have seam-binding. And webbing reinforcement. You can't have a window without webbing reinforcement.
"Then there's the double-stitch nylon thread, a vinyl needle, special serger bobbins and your basic two-headed, asymmetrical stitching fribble."
I didn't think the serger bobbins were necessary, but if you can't trust your Seam Ripper Sam's salesperson, who can you trust? There was some question, too, about fitting a two-headed, asymmetrical stitching fribble on my machine, which only has one head and is a single-fribble model.
The total came to $172.33, including tax. That was precisely $82.17 more than the price of the tent.
On the plus side, my new tent is the only one of its kind with a window and a semi-full-coverage rainfly.

Working and earning a living online you live by your wits. Having great ideas, original ideas, or taking an idea and molding, altering. re-purposing, or re-packaging it into something else, which is in itself a creative process, is what it's all about.
Which most of the time is great – going for long walks to mull things over, retreats HERE or HERE, meditating, doing yoga and generally hanging loose and allowing inspiration to come. There are other aspects. Much less glamorous and much less appealing.
This last several months have been pretty tough on webmasters with Google's Content Farmer update. also called Panda.
Briefly, Google has rewarded companies large and small with traffic and hence sales and ad revenue for producing content of any sort. In a mad rush to the bottom that was hugely profitable, large companies like Demand Media, have spend tens of millions of dollars producing low quality content, as have thousands of webmasters. Here, for example is an article on how to pick your nose the proper way from Demand Media. And everyone has made a killing – and I mean just a killing! Everyone pilled on the bandwagon with Content, Content, Content, and who cares what is says, it generated untold millions of dollars in ad revenue for webmasters and sales commissions for all! Until Google finally put a stop to it and penalized thousands of sites. For an in-depth discussion of the economics of Content Farming – see SEOBOOK. hahaha fun while it lasted.
Anyway – my sites were hit, mainly as collateral damage, but still down roughly 30%. Not catastrophic, but definitely noticeable. Now – back to the un-glamorous aspects of living the creative life. OK. So it is Monday morning, rainy and cold for April, I'm cranky as hell and traffic and sales are down 30%.
Time to be a smart guy – figure out what is going on and fix it – right now. Time for some really creative ideas and out of the box thinking – right now. On demand. Just when you least feel like it.

Q: Is there an (efficient) algorithm to determine whether an equation of two terms in the language of elementary set theoretic operators is an identity? By elementary set theoretic operations I refer to those which are usually imaged in Venn diagrams -- union, intersection, set difference, etc. In the formulation of my question I included the word ``efficient'' between parentheses
because in computing complexity this term is used with different meanings and here I am not very interested in complexity. I would like to learn about any algorithm which would not just "exhaust all possibilities" (like substituting 0s and 1s, in case of boolean terms), an algorithm which would be useful or instructive when implemented as a computer program.
This question naturally came after another question of mine: Is the equational theory of generalized boolean algebras decidable?

A: As a follow-up to Andreas Blass's answer, a good reference is Fascicle 6 of Volume 4 of Don Knuth's Art of Computer Programming, which is devoted to Satisfiability.  In a nutshell, most propositional SAT algorithms may be roughly divided in two classes: algorithms based on random walks, and conflict-driven clause-learning (CDCL) algorithms.
There has been steady progress in these algorithms over the last two decades.  CDCL algorithms, in particular, have many practical applications and are capable to both prove and refute satisfiability.  In fact, they produce resolution proofs in the latter case.  (Sometimes these proofs are quite large.)
It is not uncommon for these SAT solvers to decide problem instances with hundreds of thousands of propositional variables and millions of clauses.  Their worst-case runtime is still exponential, and they are sometimes stumped by much smaller problem instances.  Still, from an engineering standpoint they are little marvels and definitely worthy of your attention.  Source code is available for some of the best tools like lingeling or glucose.

A: The theory you describe is decidable, by the algorithm you mentioned but don't want, namely substituting 0's and 1's in all possible ways. Indeed, deciding whether a Boolean equation (using $\cap,\cup,-$) is an identity amounts to deciding whether a formula in propositional logic is a tautology.  Whether this can be done in polynomial time is a big open problem (the P=NP problem).  Nevertheless, much is known about algorithms that, in many cases, work much better than the plug-in-0's-and-1's algorithm.  In particular, people have programmed heuristics for guessing which combinations of 0's and 1's are likely to give counterexamples. I'm not an expert on these methods, but until an expert comes along and gives you a better answer, you could google "SAT-solvers" and find a good deal of information. ("SAT" refers to the problem of deciding whether a formula in propositional logic is satisfiable; that's equivalent to asking whether the formula's negation is not a tautology, so it's essentially the same question for your purposes.)

Zeiss Announce Tenth Straight Record-Breaking Year
December 13, 2019 December 13, 2019 Keith Mills Publishing Editor
The ZEISS Group continued its growth trajectory, with revenue and earnings reaching new heights in fiscal year 2018/19, which ended 30 September 2019. Revenue grew by 11 percent, reaching 6.428 billion euros (previous year: 5.817 billion euros). Adjusted for currency and acquisition effects (like-for-like), revenue rose by 8 percent. At 1.063 billion euros, earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) were significantly higher than the previous year (772 million euros). Incoming orders increased by 9 percent, reaching 6.575 billion euros for the first time.
"All ZEISS segments have developed extremely well. This is quite remarkable, especially in the midst of an uncertain economic climate and profound structural change in different industries," says President & CEO, Prof. Dr. Michael Kaschke. "ZEISS has consistently prepared for these scenarios and is well-positioned for the future as well as resilient thanks to its corporate strategy, the ZEISS Agenda 2020. Moreover, as a global technology leader, ZEISS is on its way in many segments and areas to becoming a shaper in its markets."
In 2018/19, the ZEISS Group saw robust growth in all four of its business segments.
Business Segment Development
Revenue (in € million)
2018/19 2017/18 Change
Semiconductor Manufacturing Technology 1,634 1,531 +7 %
Industrial Quality & Research 1,742 1,549 +12 %
Medical Technology* 1,760 1,546 +14 %
Consumer Markets 1,211 1,106 +9%
The business area of measuring technology and quality assurance (Industrial Quality & Research segment) was impacted by the weak development in the automotive market. However, it was able to generate additional growth with surface measurement and digitalization solutions by acquiring GOM GmbH. Measuring technology and quality assurance also benefited from automotive carbody solutions and service along with continued healthy growth in APAC and Germany. The microscopy business has stabilized and exceeded expectations.
In 2018/19, the ZEISS Group generated approximately 90 percent of its revenue outside Germany. With a revenue increase of 15 percent (like-for-like), the dynamic national economies in the APAC region in particular continued to drive this positive trend. In the EMEA region, ZEISS was able to further grow with an 8 percent increase in revenue (like-for-like). In the Americas region, revenue of 1.347 billion euros was 2 percent higher than last year's figure (like-for-like). Here, ZEISS has not yet fully leveraged the potential for growth.
The 10 percent increase in expenditures for research and development is a particularly strong indicator of the company's innovation strategy: In fiscal year 2018/19, these expenditures totaled 705 million euros (2017/18: 642 million euros). Support for this strategy came from substantial investments in property, plant and equipment, which also increased significantly to 437 million euros (2017/18: 244 million euros) during the reporting period.
"ZEISS' targeted innovation strategy, combined with substantial expenditures and investments, is a cornerstone of the accelerated growth," says Chief Financial Officer, Dr. Christian Müller.
The acquisitions concluded during the fiscal year included GOM GmbH, a leading supplier of hardware and software for automated 3D coordinate measuring technology headquartered in Braunschweig, Germany. In October 2019, it was announced that ZEISS would invest in Senorics GmbH and enter into a technology partnership with this sensor solutions start-up from Dresden, Germany. At the end of November 2019, the complete acquisition of SAXONIA Systems AG was announced. ZEISS had already acquired a 25 percent stake in the software specialist from Dresden back in 2018. "As part of our cooperations and acquisitions, we are always on the lookout for partners with whom we can expand our technology and software expertise," says Kaschke. "This enables us to focus on opening up new fields of technology and drive strategically important digital projects within the ZEISS Group."
Outlook: Combining Growth and Resilience
Economic growth slowed down even more this year, and a further slump in current growth is expected for next year. The risks in global trade continue to increase, and there is no sign of de-escalation, which would require reducing trade barriers: "While the current number of incoming orders is reason to be optimistic, we do not presume that ZEISS, for all its strengths, can remain completely unaffected by economic fluctuations. That is why we are working specifically on strengthening our ability to adapt and our resilience," says Kaschke. "The goal for fiscal year 2019/20 is to once again increase revenue and continue to achieve a high EBIT margin of over 10 percent – a challenging goal in light of the economic downturn and the need to maintain our significant R&D expenditures."

Jamaican restaurant owner offers Arms of Hope in Florida
Published:Saturday | December 5, 2020 | 8:31 AMKaryl Walker/Gleaner Writer
Jamaican born restaurant owner,Patrick Livingston receives his citation from Lake Worth community representative.
Supplies being packaged for distribution.
Volunteers and residents out in support of Patrick Livingston's Arms of Hope care package distribution to needy and homeless persons in Florida.
Driven by a desire to help the less fortunate, Jamaica-born restaurant owner, Patrick Livingston, has been using his charity Arms of Hope to provide hot meals for the people of Lake Worth Beach in West Palm Beach, Florida, free of cost.
The 57-year-old Kingston-born man operates the Above The Sea restaurant in the city, and has been providing the free service for almost a decade without fail.
"We are not just here for the people who are homeless, but for the folks, to prevent them from becoming homeless. We try to take the stress off those folks," Livingston told The Gleaner.
On a daily basis, persons in need can visit the restaurant for a hot meal, canned goods and fresh produce. The service is especially appreciated by many persons, some of whom have lost their jobs or have suffered reduced income because of the onset of the corona virus pandemic.
His work has not gone unrecognised, and the city of Lake Worth recently awarded him with a proclamation in honour of his charitable work.
Livingston migrated with his parents to the US at the age of 10, and after matriculating through the education system, worked in the fast-food industry upon his graduation from college. After working for a few years and learning the rudiments of the business, Livingston embarked on starting his own pizza franchises, but the road was filled with obstacles.
Close to being homeless
"I owned a few franchises in Port St Lucie, Stuart, Delray Beach and Lake Park. I came close to being homeless myself, after losing all of that. So I know the struggle. I could so easily be there,' Livingston said.
He said his first charity project involved assisting a young male who had a chemical abuse problem.
"I started helping a young man who was suffering from addiction. He has been drug-free for nine years now. Helping others has been fulfilling to me and I enjoy being of service to others," he said.
And there is no need for financial reward.
"The reward I get is the rush from giving. It really keeps me afloat in life. Times are getting harder and, especially now, people need to have that helping hand to help them get through, to give them hope and to let them know that someone cares and will be willing to make sacrifices without wanting anything in return," Livingston, who is a devout Christian, said.
Livingston's Arms of Hope partners with Restoration Bridges and other charitable organisations, to keep the feeding project afloat. He also gets canned goods and produce from major retail outlets such as Walmart.
"I am grateful that I have the health and means to be of assistance to those in need, and I will be continuing on this path," he said.

Diseases such as Tuberculosis and Smallpox, wars with Europeans and interactions with whites led to the decimation and extinction of many native tribes. Various tribes amalgamated with other tribes, while others became extinct with time. Here are the top 10 Native Tribes which faced extinction after the European contact.
The Beothuk people were dark and tall with black hair and dark eyes. They lived for thousands of years prior to the Vikings in present day Newfoundland.
