Match Day 2010: The view from five MD students
March 30, 2010 Portland, OR
With family and friends in tow, OHSU's graduating fourth-year medical students, gathered in the great hall of the Old Library building – nursing butterflies in anticipation of what they were about to learn. It was Match Day, the day most had been thinking about almost from the moment they set foot on Marquam Hill. After a light brunch and a brief welcoming talk by Associate Dean Tana Grady-Weliky, the double doors to the adjacent conference room were ceremoniously opened. A few students marched in eagerly, others tentatively, still others held back, steeling themselves.
In front of them, on a long table in the sun-washed room, a sea of envelopes were arrayed alphabetically in rows. Next to each an empty engraved champagne glass commemorating the occasion stood glittering in the sun, waiting to fulfill its role if a celebration proved in order – as for most it would be. Each contained a letter from the National Resident Matching Program that would shape each of their lives for at least the next three years and, in all likelihood, set them on a course that would determine what they would be doing for the rest of their careers in medicine. The letter disclosed what residency programs they had been placed in by the NRMP, based on a computer algorithm that factored in a wide range of data points, not least of which were the rank lists of preferences each had submitted.
This was the culmination of a grueling process. It started with the answer to the big question. Which medical specialty did they want to pursue after graduation? Some decided only recently, others years before. Where would they like to go to train for it? Some applied to more than 50 programs. Then came weeks of anxiety. Would they get interviews at the places they favored? Would they land any invitations at all? What was taking so long? Finally, the invitations trickled in. Then, for some, they poured in. Now what? Could they schedule back-to-back interviews in far flung parts of the country to minimize travel expenses? Most would end up spending thousands of dollars on travel. Many had to take out loans. Finally, they had to rank their choices, an agony for many of them. Which program best fit their aspirations? Which was next best? Where would they feel the most comfortable? What choice, given the 80 hour weeks they were signing up for, would be the most compatible for a spouse or significant other?
Five fourth-year students in the Match shared their experiences leading up to Match Day.
"It's been a very emotional, exciting, scary experience for us," said Sharl S. Azar, president of the 2010 class. "The process messes with your head. The programs will send you 'love' letters and you'll send them love letters. I've heard my classmates comparing it to dating." A Portland native and Lewis & Clark College graduate, he matched in internal medicine at OHSU, his top choice, after interviewing at nine other medical centers including several in the East. The University of Utah ended up a close second on his list. "What really solidified it for me was the faculty at OHSU. I know the internal medicine department here. I've gotten to work with a broad spectrum of the internal medicine faculty during two rotations and a sub-internship here and I just loved them. I think there's a lot more I can learn from them. They're amazing mentors, people I hope to stay in touch with the rest of my life. That's what sealed the deal for me." Sharl did a rotation in oncology at Utah, however, and found that program very impressive. He can see himself going back there on an oncology fellowship.
Thomas Ciesielski, a Eugene native, graduate of the University of Puget Sound, and fourth in a line of family members who have gotten their MD degrees at OHSU, also matched in internal medicine. Ultimately he hopes to practice as a hospitalist at a major academic health center.
He will train at Barnes-Jewish Hospital, an affiliate of the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, his wife's hometown. It was his top choice. "It's a great program for me, it's where both of us could see ourselves living for the next three years, and for her, family and friends and the opportunity to pursue her career in banking." He began the process last June when he sat down to frame the all important personal statement. "From about mid September when interview offers started rolling in, I was thinking about interviews, how to schedule them so the ones I was more interested were towards the middle, giving me time to get used to the process but not so late that I'd be burned out." He interviewed at 10 different medical centers from early last November through mid January.
Patrick (Paddy) O. Kinney plans to go into rural family medicine and will intern with the Family Medicine Residency of Idaho, his first choice. The Oregon State University graduate who has strong ties to Oregon – his grandparents have a cattle ranch near Sisters – hopes to practice in Alaska, and perhaps go back to Homer, his hometown. He was invited to interviews with 11 family medicine residency programs but decided to limit himself to the Pacific Northwest. "Anything south or east is pretty far outside my comfort zone," he said. His plan is to learn the skills he will need, "to practice in an austere environment where there are not a lot of people to rely on but yourself. When I showed up in Boise I got swept up by that program. I hope to leave Idaho being able to do colonoscopies and upper endoscopies and operative obstetrics among other things." He hopes to be able to deal with a wider range of cases than he might at a program in a more populated area because he expects there to be less competition from specialists. "It's pretty much just the family medicine folks that rotate in the two Boise hospitals, but you also go out to Caldwell and Coeur d'Alene, and it's similar to Alaska."
Rachel Thomas matched to a residency in emergency medicine at the University of Arizona Medical Center in Tucson. "I've pretty much known all along that emergency medicine is what I was going to do, although I tried to keep the blinders off and stay open to other specialties. My problem is I loved them all, which is what kept me on track to emergency medicine because you get exposure to everything." Rachel relied on her mentors and queried OHSU interns who had gone through it the year before to help her winnow through the 144 emergency medicine residencies around the country and ended up applying to 30. Twenty-nine offered interviews including OHSU. "Oh my gosh, what do I do?" she thought. "You're gonna run out money, time and energy doing that." She cut her list to 12 and set off on the interview trail, using kayak.com to string together a money-saving itinerary of flights, schlepping her luggage on buses rather than relying on rental cars, and still spent more than $4,500 on travel. The hard part for her was assembling her rank list. "I lost a lot, a lot of sleep over that. I love the program at OHSU. I love the people. But I've been here for four years. It almost felt like too easy a choice." After painstakingly charting and gridding the possibilities, she put Arizona on top. "It was never about a name or who was the most prestigious." It came down in large part to location. Where would her husband, marketing director at a retirement facility, be happy? Equally important: "Where am I going to fit in the best and where can I excel? I needed an environment that was going to do that, where people work well together, because that's your family for the next three years. I work hard, but I also play hard. I love being outdoors, I run marathons, I ski and snowboard and I wanted a community that supported all those things."
Lawrence Tiglao is going on to an OB/GYN residency at the UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento. It's a specialty he had no interest in until after a rotation at Providence St. Vincent Medical Center last year when the midwife he was aiding left to check on another patient. Just then the expectant mother in labor began to deliver. "When the midwife came back the baby's head was crowning and she said, 'well, you're already there, you may as well do the rest.' It was a life-changing, career-changing experience." The complicated delivery Lawrence's wife Sarah endured in the birth of their first child James during the first year of med school had planted the seed. "But it wasn't until I had delivered a baby myself that I felt like this was something I could really do." He applied to 21 OBGYN programs, interviewed at 12 and UC Davis moved to first place on his rank list. He would love to stay in Oregon, Lawrence says, but proximity to extended family in the Bay Area, the quality of the UC Davis program generally and the strength of its faculty in gynecological oncology, an area he hopes to focus on beyond his residency, were the deciding factors for him. He has not ruled out returning to Oregon after he finishes his residency. Lawrence has followed a circuitous path to this point. Originally from Arlington, VA, playing baseball was his consuming interest when he started college in North Carolina. Restless, he fled to the West Coast, found shelter with an aunt in Berkeley, worked for a record company in San Francisco, did a work-study program in London, traveled for months on the European continent with his future wife, and ultimately graduated in anthropology from UCLA.
These five are among 125 of OHSU's fourth-year medical students who will begin postgraduate clinical training in residencies this summer. Forty-eight percent – a total of 60 – will be going into primary care, matching to residencies in internal medicine, family medicine, or pediatrics. Family medicine residencies, in particular, were a destination for 20 percent, or 25 of the students – a 56 percent increase over last year when 16 chose that specialty. Twenty-two are going into internal medicine, and 11 into pediatrics. Other destinations include 15 who will do residencies in emergency medicine, nine in OB/GYN, seven in radiology, five in surgery, four in oral surgery and three in anesthesiology.
Thirty percent – or 34 of OHSU's medical school seniors – will stay in Oregon, including the 22 percent, or 28 students, who chose to stay at OHSU to do their residencies. All told, 74 percent of the OHSU seniors, or 93, will remain in the West, including Oregon. OHSU's graduate medical education ranks 10th in the nation for in-state retention of residents and more than half of the new physicians completing their residencies at OHSU remain in Oregon to practice. One-third of all Oregon licensed physicians, in fact, completed all or part of their education at OHSU.
Nationwide, 94 percent of 28,737 applicants initially matched to an open position, according to the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP). Each year approximately 16,000 U.S. allopathic medical school seniors and 15,000 graduates of osteopathic, Canadian or foreign medical schools compete for approximately 24,000 residency positions.

Q: Execute read operations in sequence - Apache Beam I need to execute below operations in sequence as given:-
 PCollection<String> read = p.apply("Read Lines",TextIO.read().from(options.getInputFile()))

      .apply("Get fileName",ParDo.of(new DoFn<String,String>(){
          ValueProvider<String> fileReceived = options.getfilename();
          @ProcessElement
          public void procesElement(ProcessContext c)
          {
              fileName = fileReceived.get().toString();
              LOG.info("File: "+fileName);
          }
      }));

      PCollection<TableRow> rows = p.apply("Read from BigQuery",
              BigQueryIO.read()
                  .fromQuery("SELECT table,schema FROM `DatasetID.TableID` WHERE file='" + fileName +"'")
              .usingStandardSql());

How to accomplish this in Apache Beam/Dataflow?

A: It seems that you want to apply BigQueryIO.read().fromQuery() to a query that depends on a value available via a property of type ValueProvider<String> in your PipelineOptions, and the provider is not accessible at pipeline construction time - i.e. you are invoking your job via a template.
In that case, the proper solution is to use NestedValueProvider:
PCollection<TableRow> tableRows = p.apply(BigQueryIO.read().fromQuery(
    NestedValueProvider.of(
      options.getfilename(),
      new SerializableFunction<String, String>() {
        @Override
        public String apply(String filename) {
          return "SELECT table,schema FROM `DatasetID.TableID` WHERE file='" + fileName +"'";
        }
      })));

Most people take one good look at Gigi Hadid's hair and practically swoon with envy. Long, thick, perfectly tousled at all times... How can non-super-models get Rapunzel-style locks like that??? Better yet, how can we get fuller, flowing hair for our wedding day?
Lots of brides try wearing clip-in hair extensions on the big day, particularly if they're going half-up/half-down and want weighty, trailing tresses hanging past their shoulders. But what if you want something less precarious, longer-lasting, perfectly colour-matched (and we mean perfect) and of fabulous quality – without damaging a single strand of your natural hair? That's where professional Louise Bailey steps in, armed with a fistful of Hairdreams® extensions at Four Salon in Mayfair (she also does home visits), delivering the best hair extensions in London. Seriously, this is hair extensions on steroids.
And if, like it did to us at the time, that still sounds too good to be true, have a read of our interview with Lou herself to find out exactly why she's so amazing.
Q. Tell us a bit about yourself. How did you end up becoming a professional hair extensionist?
A. I've literally always wanted to be a hairdresser. I used to try and skip school when I was a kid, sneaking to the hairdresser where I had a Saturday job because I wanted to work there instead! They'd tell me to go straight back to my classes! So I started out as a hairdresser, but as soon as I got my hands on hair extensions and started practising on friends, I knew had a natural knack for them. And I love it. And now hair extensions are what I do.
Q. What sort of extensions are you using?
A. I'm applying a brand called Hair Dreams®, which is internationally recognised as supplying the best hair extensions in the world. We're using the brand's tape hair extension product called Hairdreams® Quikkies which, when applied correctly, is the safest, fastest method of applying hair extensions on the market right now.
Q. Will the colour match my natural hair?
A. Yes – you'll see, you won't even be able to tell it isn't your real hair. Even if I struggle to find matching shades, I can blend different tones so, when I apply it, it matches the client's natural hair colour perfectly.
Q. Will they damage my hair?
A. No, absolutely not – not when they're applied by a specialist or when such a high-quality product is used. It's not impossible for damage to be incurred by this type of product, but it's all about finding a highly skilled technician to apply them, as well as choosing a good quality brand, like Hairdreams®. It's also important not to leave them on the head longer than your hair extensionist advises. Booking a re-tape when they've started to grow out and having them moved up towards your roots is very important for looking after your natural hair.
Q. How do they stick to my head?
A. They don't actually stick to your head, but rather your hair. This is done with surgical tape, which is hypo-allergenic. It's very easy to remove these, simply by using a special oil which the glue slides off. It's quick (I can remove them in 15 minutes), painless and damage-free. Some tape products also leave sticky residue on the hair, so, again, it's all about how they're applied, as well as product performance. Check out my video of a removal (below)!
Q. Are there other good types of hair extensions?
A. It depends on what you want to achieve. There are, of course, other good brands and styles but, for any bride-to-be, I believe Hairdreams® Quikkies are by far the best option. Clip-in hair extensions can work for brides who want to wear them for just one day, but they can look a bit bulky, blending less seamlessly into your natural hair. There's also single bond extensions, which last up to three months, but these can look a bit stringy. Tape hair extensions are lightweight and extremely easy to style, manage and, most importantly, look totally natural. And they sit completely flat against the head. Whether you want a bit more thickness or endless locks – or both – for the big day, this tape product can achieve it in less than an hour and will last for up to 8 weeks, depending on how fast your natural hair grows. What's more, unlike with single bond extensions (which you throw away after first use), you can re-use/re-tape Hairdreams® Quikkies up to four times after the first application. This hair is an investment which can be used multiple times after your wedding day.
Q. Can you wear them on honeymoon/holiday?
A. Absolutely. Even if it's months later, we can refit them specifically for the perfect boho beach goddess look.
Q. So I can go in a chlorine pool or the sea while wearing them?
A. Yes! If you're buying a decent brand. Good quality extensions behave like real hair, so you can swim in the sea and in the pool. Just be sure to rinse them after. Rubbish extensions will turn peach when exposed to salt water and suncream, which is another reason why I only use Hairdreams® and other globally acclaimed brands on my clients. Real human hair will always lighten slightly in the sun, though. If you don't want this to happen, wear a hat or scarf or put it up in a high bun to prevent sun exposure.
Q. When should a bride-to-be get them put in before her wedding day?
A. Get them around 2 weeks before the day, so you can get used to them. Try to book your hair trial for after you've had them applied. I can move them/add more/take some away, free of charge, to suit whatever hairstyle you choose. If you want them for your hen party, get them applied for this and see how you feel in them, then you can have them out for a bit, before booking a re-tape a week before the wedding day.
Q. How should they be cared for?
A. The only no-no with these tape hair extensions is oils or conditioners on the area where the tape is attached to your natural hair. Otherwise, washing and styling is the same as with your normal hair. Tong the hair, blow-dry it, wear it up and apply products at will! The brand-new, professional-standard, extra-long Turbo Tong, which I am using on your hair today, is ideal for curling or waving extensions. It creates the perfect beach wave on long hair. Perfect for those clients who want 'babewaves' like Gigi!

The European Day of Sustainable Communities is one of ECOLISE's flagship events. It is a celebration of local communities taking action for an inclusive, regenerative and zero-carbon Europe.
We invite citizens, communities and organisations who are committed to transformation in the face of ecological and climate breakdown to join in co-creating the day.
How? By organising and event and registering it on the EDSC19 website. Become a co-creator on 21st September 2019!
For further information please contact iva.pocock[at]ecolise.eu
European Day of Sustainable Communities in 2018
The second edition of the European Day of Sustainable Communities took place on 22nd September 2018. Communities in 24 countries joined the celebration by organising over 100 events. To coincide with the day ECOLISE once again co-hosted a conference in Brussels. It was a blended learning conference (with participants in person and online) entitled Civil Society and municipalities – building sustainability through collaboration.
Our co-host was the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC), with whom ECOLISE has a close working relationship, in collaboration with Transition Network and the European Committee of the Regions (CoR).
Communities in 15 European countries celebrated the inaugural European Day of Sustainable Communities in September 2017.
From the Balkans to the Baltic Sea and along the western fringe of Europe, there was an impressive diversity of events!
There were ecovillage open days in Ireland, Italy, Slovenia, Spain and Sweden, a lecture on rural eco-tourism in Serbia and conversations about Transition in Spain. In Poland leaders of social change gathered to share their experience of techniques and methods for alternative education, in Wales there was a 30th anniversary celebration of a wildlife conservation farm and in Northern Ireland there was a gathering to inspire woodland social enterprises in a community-owned wood. In Germany there was a bike tour and a food fermentation workshop, in Luxembourg the launch of a community garden and throughout France and Belgium there were some 1500 events as part of La Fête des Possibles. In the Netherlands people were exploring simple actions for social and ecological well-being, in Portugal there was a gathering in the permaculture garden at Lisbon university and in Croatia there was an international co-creative gathering for transformational learning.
Amalurra Ecovillage in the Basque country, Spain, hosted an apple pressing day
Suderbyn Ecovillage, Sweden, opened its café doors for coffee, cakes and goodies, as well as tours workshops and theatre
Transition Monaghan, Ireland also hosted an apple pressing for making fresh juice and cider
Red de Transción (Transition Spain) organised a participatory live online video conference 'Conversation in Transition'
Cloughjordan Ecovillage, Ireland opened its doors with tours, theatre and music
At a conference co-hosted with the EESC in Brussels on Friday 22nd 2017 ECOLISE representatives showcased for policy makers and other stakeholders the huge diversity of ways that local communities, such as those celebrating the European Day, are taking action on critical global challenges, driven by the desire of ordinary people, throughout Europe and the world, to be part of the solution rather than the problem. The event also contributed to the action week that celebrates the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals.
During the conference there was a live video link-up with the five countries showcasing a selection of these Europe-wide events.
Participants at the European Day of Sustainable Communities launch event included EU policy-makers such as the European Commission, Members of the European Parliament, Members of the EESC, government representatives, and community leaders, including ECOLISE members, partner organisations, associations and NGOs.
A booklet – 'A community-led transition in Europe: Local action towards a sustainable, resilient, low-carbon future' – which gives a snapshot of these community-led initiatives, was officially launched at the conference.
The results are impressive, not just in terms of the scale of the mobilisation (now counting some 15,000 ecovillages worldwide, over three million permaculture practioners, and around 1,200 Transition initiatives) but also the positive environmental impacts: studies of CO2 emissions in Danish ecovillages, for example, find they are 60 per cent lower than the national average, while Findhorn ecovillage in Scotland has the lowest documented ecological footprint of any settlement in the industrial world.
Transition initiatives are also achieving impressive results. The Transition Streets project in Totnes, England, involves 468 households, each saving at least 1.3 tonnes of carbon annually.
The EU-funded TESS project (2017) recently concluded that: 'If just five per cent of EU citizens were to engage in effective community-led climate mitigation initiatives, the carbon savings would be sufficient for nearly 85 percent of EU-28 countries to achieve their 2020 emissions reduction targets.'
Just as significant as the direct carbon savings, however, are the wider environmental impacts, the awareness raising, the social cohesion, the creation of local livelihoods and retention of wealth in local economies and the feeling of empowerment that citizens experience by working together to bring about change.
Community-led initiatives on climate change and sustainability are helping to mobilise citizens, change mind-sets and behaviour, and catalyse decentralised solutions based on social and technological innovations. However, these bottom-up approaches need a policy framework that enables action and fosters the spreading of such initiatives.

Clinton's Wide Net Strategy to Win Labor Support
by staff, July 31st, 2015 6:45 AM EST
Those who follow the role of American labor unions in politics will find "Hillary Clinton's multi-step strategy to woo labor: Before winning over AFL-CIO, she hopes to gain backing of individual unions" by Brian Mahoney and Gabriel Debenedetti of interest. Writing in Politico, the authors explain:
…The Democratic front-runner's machine is turning its attention to individual leaders one by one, looking to methodically win over unions as she faces off against an insurgent Bernie Sanders — a longtime union ally whose fiery rallies have riled up rank-and-file labor members across the country.
Clinton spent about an hour with the AFL-CIO's executive council on Thursday, with the ultimate goal of securing the formal endorsement of the federation of 57 labor unions and the political organization and millions of dollars in campaign money that would come with it. But while Sanders shows staying power in the early-voting states, the organized labor movement sees an opportunity to gain leverage over the party's likely nominee, whose labor bona fides are still a topic of debate among some activists.
As a result, Democrats associated with multiple campaigns don't see the AFL-CIO taking the rare step of backing a candidate in the Democratic primary anytime soon, even if they expect it to eventually back Clinton and to keep urging local groups to stop backing Sanders…The Clinton campaign's targets in the meantime? Some of the prominent unions that make up the AFL-CIO.
Debenedetti and Mahoney go on to note that Clinton has secured a key endorsement from the influential1.6-million member American Federation of Teachers, and is actively wooing the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees, United Food and Commercial Workers and the 1.8 million member Service Employees International Union.
As for issues, the authors report that Clinton is focusing on "the AFL-CIO's central demand for 2016: raising wages," while remaining undecided regarding the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal, which Sen. Bernie Sanders and former MD Governor Martin O'Malley oppose, joined by key unions, including the United Steelworkers.
Meanwhile, Sen. Sanders is reportedly racking up support from rank and file, as well as local labor leaders. Sanders, who is held in high regard by American labor leaders across the nation has a near-perfect track record on his votes on issues of critical concern to unions. Any union would be more than comfortable with a Sanders presidency. Should Clinton win the Democratic nomination to run for president, however, a Clinton-Sanders ticket would be hugely popular with unionized voters, who would likely also be fine with O'Malley against any Republican.
Despite numerous articles in recent years about organized labor's declining membership and impact, when it comes to elections, no progressive constituency provides more support for Democrats in terms of both money and manpower than unions. That is a leading reason why Republicans are constantly seeking to destroy and undermine labor and worker rights.
Conversely, the next Democrat to win a landslide victory in a presidential election would be smart to strongly support and work for policies to revive the American labor movement, which remains the best hope for reducing income inequality and improving living standards for millions of American families.

The TK85 was a ZX81 clone made by Microdigital Eletrônica, a computer company located in Brazil. It came with 16 or 48 KB RAM, and had a ZX Spectrum–style case, similar to a Timex Sinclair 1500.

Unlike the ZX81, the TK85 used discrete logic circuits instead of a ULA, and during manufacture several chips were scraped so that competitors couldn't copy the circuit. The circuit board had space for a AY-3-8912 sound generator chip (compatible with the ZonX-81 sound board), and although none came factory installed, it is possible to add the necessary circuits.

The TK85 came with a copy of the 8K ZX81 floating point BASIC, and an additional 2K EPROM, mapped to addresses 8192-10240, containing machine code routines for use with tape files. These routines could save (HISAVE), load (HILOAD) and verify (HIVERIFY) in "Hi-Speed" (4200 bps); save and load, BASIC variables in 300 bps (standard ZX81 speed) using DSAVE and DLOAD functions and 4200 bps (Hi-Speed) using DHSAVE and DHLOAD. These routines were all accessible using RAND USR commands. The save to variable function could be used to make copies of programs on tape.

The expansion port on the back of the computer is compatible with the ZX81, although some peripherals may not work due to conflicts with the 2K of extra ROM.

The rear of the computer featured a TV output (without video back porch), "EAR" and "MIC" sockets for connecting to an external tape recorder, a joystick port using a DIN socket (that simulated the ,,, and  keys), a ZX81 compatible expansion port, space for a sound output socket, and a socket for the 9V external power supply.

Since the joystick used the cursor keys, and due to the circuitry for the keyboard, it wasn't possible to detect diagonal directions correctly.

Digital marketing is a notoriously fickle field. But in this ever-changing minefield of an industry, email marketing has held strong. It's consistently effective in converting leads and can be a content marketer's most valuable asset. What can you do to up your email marketing game? So far in 2016, these trends have held their ground and should continue to do so.
You're reading this on your phone, and so is your audience.
Two-thirds of all email is now read on mobile devices. If you're not optimized for mobile and using responsive design, you need get on that, like, yesterday. But optimizing for mobile shouldn't limit you- screens are getting bigger and better suited for valuable content like video and animation. See creating content for mobile as an opportunity to be creative and innovative with your email campaign. What more could you want than an audience that will probably get your content immediately, right in their pocket, no matter where they are?
This .gif from a recent email blast for a Tribu client is not only unique, engaging and to the point- it's optimized for mobile!
Targeting and Segmentation are more important than ever.
Tracking what works and what doesn't, and acting accordingly.
All of the beautiful design and creative copy in the world won't get open or clicked if it's not going to right audiences at the right time. Campaigns must be data-driven. Tracking how your campaigns are received and developing that information for future campaigns must be at the heart of your email marketing strategy. In many ways, email marketing is a science that comes down to experimentation and implementation. A systematic approach will incorporate analytical findings and creative vision in equal measure. At Tribu, we call this "creat-alytical" thinking, and it drives the work that we do.
One of the best ways to give users a feeling of involvement in your brand is to simply involve them. The easiest way to do this is social media- giving your audience their own voice in your marketing. While including links to social media accounts is now standard in virtually any email campaign, consider making them front and center. Including a real-time portal to your social media accounts and what people are saying about your brand is a brave and authentic way of sharing your consumer's feedback. It can also contribute to lead generation via social media- people will sign up for an email list that includes their thoughts as a consumer.
Think long and hard about your subject lines.
More than 205 billion emails are sent and received every. Single. Day. Your email needs to stand out right away, and the subject line is the first impression. Today's audiences are wary of anything that smells like a sales attempt. Consider the tried and true subject line: "20% off coupon inside!" You have to consider that they probably receive that exact subject line multiple times a day and the value it offers no longer feels urgent. If five different retail outlets offer me 20% off for Labor Day, I don't feel the need to buy from any of them. My next offer is just one email away! A subject line needs to be a little weird, but it can't strike me as click bait or a sales offer. One bold strategy: Hubspot cites a study of over six million emails that found subject lines with no subject line at all were actually opened 8% more often than those with a subject line. Maybe the best way to stand out in a subject line is to play hard to get and make your consumer click for content.
Email marketing is a key part of inbound strategy, and we make it our business to do it well. Find more examples of our excellent email strategy here and here. For all of your digital marketing needs, Tribu's got your back. Let our cutting-edge solutions be your organization's success.

Black-winged Stilt
Latin Name : Himantopus himantopus
Portuguese Name : Pernilongo
The black-winged stilt (Himantopus himantopus) is a widely distributed very long-legged wader in the avocet and stilt family (Recurvirostridae). The scientific name H. himantopus was formerly applied to a single, almost cosmopolitan species. It is now normally applied to the form that is widespread in Eurosiberia and Africa and which was formerly regarded as the nominate subspecies of Himantopus himantopus sensu lato. The scientific name Himantopus comes from the Greek meaning "strap foot" or "thong foot".[2] Most sources today accept 2–4 species.] It is sometimes called pied stilt, but that name is now reserved for the Australian species, Himantopus leucocephalus.

The Orsoline sisters of the Immaculate Virgin Mary came to Kenya in 1989 and opened a community in Adams Arcade, Nairobi. In 1993 we opened another community in King'eero. Immediately we opened a dress making school and in 1995 a health centre called St. Angela Merici. In 2006 we opened the Kindergarten, which was named Mother Danila. Mother Danila was one of our sisters from Italy who had served as a superior in Eritrea for many years. During her mandate as a superior the Eritrean sisters celebrated 50 years of their presence in the country and as a thanksgiving to God, they decided to open a new mission in Kenya.
When Mother Danila finished her term as a superior in Eritrea in 1993, she came to Kenya and joined the community in Nairobi. Unfortunately, in December 1995 she had a fatal road accident and lost her life. When we opened the Kindergarten in 2006 we named it after her in her honour. In 2015, we opened a primary school as a continuation of the kindergarten. So far we run a Kindergarten, a primary school and a health centre. The health centre and the kindergarten are in the same compound at King'eero while the primary school is in a neighbouring village called Mararo.

Q: AMDP selects false records contrary to OpenSQL I am learning AMDP and I found out that the result obtained from this is very different from normal select query in ABAP AS.
I am using below code in AMDP:
ex_gt_data = select a.vbeln,
                   a.kunnr,
                   a.bukrs_vf,
                   b.erdat,
                   b.lsmeng,
                   b.posnr,
                   b.matnr
                   from vbak as a
                   join vbap as b
                   on a.vbeln = b.vbeln;

followed by APPLY_FILTER function.
This query return multiple values in BUKRS_VF field. If I use normal select query like below:
SELECT a~vbeln,
     a~bukrs_vf,
     a~kunnr,
     b~erdat,
     b~lsmeng,
     b~posnr,
     b~matnr
     FROM vbak AS a
     JOIN vbap AS b
     ON a~vbeln = b~vbeln
     INTO TABLE @DATA(lt_vbak)
     WHERE a~vbeln IN @s_vbeln.

it generates required result.
Can anybody tell me why this difference between AMDP and normal select query?

A: I just found out that adding

MANDT
  field
  solves the issue. i have added an pass by value parameter in method and used in query as
where a.mandt = im_mandt.

Dont know whether this is the correct solution.Please advise.

A: Many discrete useful pieces were given, but I am here to give a comprehensive answer to the question.
First of all, ABAP CDS views do not respect client data automatically like it is done in OpenSQL. BTW, the same is true for HANA CDS but judging on indirect indicators of your question it was about ABAP CDS based on HANA backend, rather that HANA CDS. Ya?
What is the proper way of client handling in ABAP CDS views?

*

*@ClientHandling.type #CLIENT_DEPENDENT annotation must be added to view.
Default type is #INHERITED but for more straightforwardness it's better make it explicitly dependent.

*@ClientHandling.algorithm is an optional field and can be omitted. There is a complex set of rules which determines how the client is calculated but in your case you can just don't specify it, implicit #AUTOMATED way will be used and client column will be implicitly added to ON conditions of your JOIN.

*Client column must exist in view and should be either

*

*selected via SELECT statement with either name or alias

*have MANDT name manually set

*if the latter is absent CLIENT column is used

*if neither CLIENT nor MANDT column is not found the syntax error is thrown

*No other actions needed, client is addressed implicitly like in OpenSQL case.
But! Here we are speaking about AMDP procedure, not simple CDS, so the things are more tricky.
The first and foremost, for all this to work a special CDS SESSION CLIENT CURRENT AMDP declaration is mandatory in a method signature:
 AMDP OPTIONS READ-ONLY
              CDS SESSION CLIENT CURRENT

the declaration makes implicit passing of $session.client var into the implementation of AMDP procedure. In the default CURRENT syntax variant it is equal to sy-mandt value of ABAP AS.
After that you can use $session.client explicitly with tables inside AMDP
SELECT * FROM vbak WHERE vbak.mandt = $session.client;

or implicitly with client-dependent views
lt_vbak = APPLY_FILTER ("Z_CDS_VIEW", :iv_where);

A: You don't HAVE to add the MANDT parameter to get the client number in AMDP/generated SQL script. Rather, you can use SESSION_CONTEXT('CLIENT')
So, your above query would look like the following:
ex_gt_data = select a.vbeln,
                   a.kunnr,
                   a.bukrs_vf,
                   b.erdat,
                   b.lsmeng,
                   b.posnr,
                   b.matnr
                   from vbak as a
                   join vbap as b
                   on a.vbeln = b.vbeln
                   and a.mandt = SESSION_CONTEXT('CLIENT');

There are many more things you can achieve using SESSION_CONTEXT. Used properly, it's a powerful tool at your disposal.
Best Regards,
Gopal Nair.

Christian Jakob August Freiherr von Berstett (* 6. Juli 1773 im Schloss Gerstheim in Gerstheim; † 10. Dezember 1860 in Freiburg im Breisgau) war ein Major und Numismatiker.

Leben
Er war ein Sohn von Phillip Jakob Reinhard von Berstett, aus dem Adelsgeschlecht von Berstett seine Mutter war Caroline Christina Leopoldine Freiin von Dettlingen. Er hatte einen Bruder, Wilhelm Ludwig Leopold Reinhard Freiherr von Berstett und eine Schwester, Carolina Eleonore Franziska Luise Freiin von Berstett (1771–1791).

Berstett studierte an der Universität Straßburg. 1788 besuchte er gleichzeitig die Artillerieschule Straßburg. Nachdem das Schloss Berstett zerstört und das Straßburger Stadtregiment in der Revolution gestürzt wurde, verließen er und seine Eltern die Heimat. Er nahm mit seinem Bruder anschließend am Emigrantenfeldzug 1792 in die Champagne teil. 1794 besuchte er gegen seine Neigung die Universität Tübingen, um die Rechte zu studieren. Nach dem Einfall der Franzosen 1796 gab er die Studien endgültig auf. Zusammen mit 30 Kommilitonen verließ er die Universität und trat in das K. u. K. Dragonerregiment Erzherzog Johann ein. Von nun ab war er als Reichsritter an fast allen damaligen Kriegsschauplätzen zugegen. So war er 1809 in Regensburg, als er von einem gefangengenommenen Franzosen erfuhr, dass Napoleon ganz in der Nähe weilte. Ohne zu zögern, ritt er bis auf 50 Schritte an diesen heran und feuerte seine Pistole ab, musste aber gleichzeitig flüchten, da Reiter ihn bedrängten. Den Treffer konnte er daher nicht wahrnehmen, überliefert ist, dass Napoleon am Fuß getroffen wurde. In der Schlacht bei Aspern konnte er sich weiter bewähren und wurde von Erzherzog Karl zum Rittmeister befördert. 1813 kämpfte er in der Armee Schwarzenberg in Sachsen und Böhmen, der König von Preußen verlieh ihm dafür den Johanniterorden. 1816 ließ er sich beurlauben und wurde zum K. u. K. Kämmerer ernannt. 1819 kehrte er nach Aufenthalten in Frankfurt bei seinem Bruder und im Elsass in das Regiment zurück, reichte aber 1822 seinen Abschied ein aufgrund »sehr geschwächter Augen«. Er erhielt den Majorstitel und wenig später, als er nach Karlsruhe zurückkehrte, von König Ludwig XVIII. das Ritterkreuz des St. Ludwigs-Militärverdienstordens und wenig später das des Ordens vom Zähringerlöwen, diesem folgte im nächsten Jahr das Kommandeurkreuz.

Am 13. Mai 1828 heiratete er in Steinbach die Bürgermeisterstochter Julie Mayer (1804–1888).
Er wohnte zunächst in Kirchzarten, dann in Freiburg, anschließend in Mahlberg. Obwohl er in Mahlberg Ehrenbürger wurde und zwei Söhne, Ludwig und Ferdinand Otto Tancred, bekam, zog er 1846 wieder nach Freiburg. Sein erster Sohn Ludwig war in einem Internat 7-jährig verstorben.

In Freiburg in seinem Haus am Karlsplatz beschäftigte er sich eingehend mit seinem Hobby, das er seit seiner Jugend betrieb: Der Numismatik. Er hatte eine Sammlung von 8000 Münzen zusammengetragen. Er veröffentlichte zahlreiche zum Teil bis heute gültige Abhandlungen zur Numismatik. Im Zuge der Badischen Revolution 1848 drangen 30 Freischärler in sein Haus und plünderten es. Zwar war es ihm noch gelungen, die wertvollsten Stücke zu retten, dennoch war der Verlust beträchtlich. So entschloss er sich, den Rest seiner Sammlung zu verkaufen. Das Großherzogliche Münzkabinett erwarb 154 badische Stücke für 305 Gulden.

Sein Grab befindet sich auf dem Alten Friedhof in Freiburg. Es wurde von dem Bildhauer Gustav Adolf Knittel geschaffen.

Related leadership and trainers of International Exchange Center, Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Institute, Information Engineering Institute attended the ceremony. The leaders awarded students certificate and encouraged them to continue their studies.


Our founding father Benjamin Franklin was known for his wisdom and sound advice during his lifetime, and he is still admired today for the legacy of common sense suggestions he left us. But even the architects of great countries make mistakes.
Mr. Franklin made a big one when he introduced the Chinese tallow tree (Sapium sebifera or Triadica sebifera) to the eastern United States during the colonial period. His error in judgment is one from which the South is likely to suffer for a long time.
Chinese tallow tree, also known as popcorn tree or Florida "aspen," is native to eastern Asia. Unfortunately, plants like tallow trees, kudzu, privet, mimosa, Japanese honeysuckle, chinaberries, and a host of other Asian plants that may not pose problems in their native countries have created colossal invasive nightmares in the southern U.S.
One of the biggest headaches facing land managers now on the Atlantic and Gulf coastal plains is the tallow tree. A deciduous tree with bright, waxy green heart-shaped leaves that turn glowing red in autumn, tallow trees may grow 40 to 50 feet in height. In the spring the trees produce long, light-green inflorescences that are easily seen even from a distance. In September and October dark brown, three-valved fruits mature, producing the characteristic "popcorn" seeds that are spread far and wide by both water and birds.
just planting an exotic that would provide shade and pretty fall color. But the private landowner who continues to allow a tallow tree to grow on his property does a great disservice to his neighbors as the trees quickly invade adjoining properties and are extremely difficult to control.
According to Dr. Nancy Loewenstein of the Alabama Cooperative Extension Service, a mature tree can produce more than 100,000 seeds per year and the trees also propagate by means of "runners" or "suckers." The leaves and sap of these trees are toxic to humans and cattle and can cause serious illness if ingested. Most states have now declared tallow trees a noxious weed.
The Chinese tallow tree is spreading like an aggressive cancer throughout Alabama, and is now a problem in all of the south and central parts of the state. The website www.eddmaps.org provides an excellent representation of the current distribution of tallow trees in the South. The tree has taken over huge areas along the banks of the Coosa, Alabama, and Tallapoosa Rivers and is steadily invading many wetlands. It rapidly overtakes unmanaged pasture areas and abandoned farms, and because certain bird species disperse the abundant seeds in their droppings, it is often seen growing along fence lines where birds perch. The fence lines and pastures along Interstate 65 south of Montgomery close to the Hyundai plant are prime examples of unchecked tallow tree growth in upland areas.
Concerned land managers throughout the southeastern U.S. who are fighting the spread of invasive pest plant species are encouraging property owners to eradicate the Chinese tallow tree from their yards and land holdings. According to Dr. James Miller of the U.S. Forest Service, forest landowners can take a number of steps to control or eradicate this pest species. Small specimens (diameter of less than 6 inches) of tallow tree should be pulled up as soon as they are observed, and foliar applications of herbicides may also be used to kill young trees.

Russia hails Syrian army entry in key northern city
Russia on Friday hailed as "positive" the Syrian army's entry into the key northern city of Manbij for the first time in six years after Kurds opened the gates.
"Of course, this will help in stabilising the situation. The enlargement of the zone under the control of government forces… is without doubt a positive trend," said Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov.
Kurdish forces who were left exposed by a US pledge to pull out its own troops, have asked the Syrian regime for help to face a threatened Turkish offensive.
Peskov said the situation would be discussed Saturday during a visit to Moscow by the Turkish foreign affairs and defence ministers, to "clarify" the situation and "synchronise actions" between the two countries.
Russia provides critical support to the Syrian government, while Turkey has backed rebel groups fighting President Bashar al-Assad's forces.

Die Tarboro Cotton Press, oft auch als Norfleet Cotton Press oder Edgecombe County Cotton Press bezeichnet, ist eine Spindelpresse für Baumwolle aus Holz, die in der Mitte des 18. Jahrhunderts im Edgecombe County in North Carolina, Vereinigte Staaten gebaut wurde. Sie wurde später auf den Allmendplatz von Tarboro verlegt und ist seit dem 18. Februar 1971 im National Register of Historic Places verzeichnet. Die Baumwollpresse wurde für den Historic American Buildings Survey dokumentiert.

Geschichte
Der erste Besitzer der Presse war Isaac Norfleet. Sie wurde ursprünglich auf dessen Plantage 4 km südwestlich von Tarboro als Presse für Cidre und Wein verwendet. Um 1860 wurde die Presse in einer Baumwollpresse umgebaut, da zu dieser Zeit der Bedarf zur Verarbeitung der Baumwollernte sich steigerte. Die Presse ist aus Kiefernholz konstruiert. Sie verfügt über eine große Gewindespindel, die verwendet wird, um die Baumwolle in eine hölzerne Form zu pressen und so den Ballen zu erzeugen. Der Konstruktionsrahmen besteht aus vier aufrechten Pfosten mit Bohrungen. An der Gewindespindel sind zwei lange Balken befestigt, die als "buzzard wings" (Bussardflügel) bezeichnet werden. An sie waren Arbeitstiere gespannt, Esel oder Ochsen, um die Drehung der Gewindespindel anzutreiben. Die Gesamthöhe der Presse beträgt 6,7 m.

Abbildungen der Baumwollpresse an ihrem ursprünglichen Standort zeigen sie in einer rechteckigen offene Scheune mit einem steilen hip roof. Die Spitze der Presse ragte durch das Dach hindurch und wurde von einem kleineren ebenfalls rechteckigen Dach bedeckt, das sich mit der Gewindespindel drehte.

Die Presse wurde 1938 auf den Allmendplatz Tarboros an der Albemarle Street verlegt. Die ursprüngliche Scheune wurde abgerissen und am neuen Standort ein kleines achteckiges Dach über der Presse errichtet. Die Restaurierung der Presse wurde 1976 abgeschlossen. Das achteckige Dach wurde entfernt und es entstand ein Pavillon, der der ursprünglichen Scheune nachgebildet war und die Presse vor den Elementen schützen soll.

Es gibt eine ähnliche Baumwollpresse bei Latta in South Carolina, eine andere Baumwollpresse aus dem Antebellum, aber ohne die Flügelbalken befindet sich auf der Magnolia Plantation bei Derry in Louisiana. Dort ist die Gewindespindel fixiert und die Basis wird gedreht, um die Baumwolle zu pressen.

Microvision Announces New Light Scanning Display Architecture for Simulating Wide Screen
March 28, 2005 By JSMT Media
BOTHELL, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–March 28, 2005–Microvision
(Nasdaq:MVIS), the leader in light scanning technologies for displays
and imaging, announced today that it has filed for patent protection
relating to a novel display system architecture that would use an
array of low-cost LEDs to enable very high resolution displays with
extremely wide fields of view. Field of view is the term used to
describe the apparent size of the virtual image created by a near-eye
display. According to Microvision, consumer electronics companies are
interested in wearable displays that can simulate the "immersive"
viewing experience of a movie theater or a very large – 80 to 100 inch
– high resolution television. Such systems have to be both practical
in size and affordable in order to appeal to the mass market.
Wide field of view near-eye display systems based on miniature
flat panel displays are currently available in the market, however
they are both costly and cumbersome because of the complex and
expensive optics that are used to magnify the image to cover such a
wide angle. These systems, most often associated with virtual reality,
are typically seen only in laboratories and occasionally in museums or
arcades because they cost thousands of dollars and often weigh 4 to 6
"This potential architecture represents a major breakthrough in
the design of near-eye display systems," offered Microvision President
Steve Willey, "because the approach overcomes optical limitations that
are fundamental to any system based on a miniature screen. Essentially
the optical design of such systems is a close analogy to a wide angle
lens system for a camera, and comprises several – as many as six –
complex lenses in a single enclosure that is often several inches
deep. As a consequence, you end up with a system that is not only
bulky and unsightly, but also one that has a lot of the weight in
front of the head. Microvision's new system design is pretty radical
and we think represents a potential breakthrough technology. Our
invention would use an array of conventional, inexpensive LEDs (light
emitting diodes) and a very simple optical system consisting of only
one or two elements to achieve the combination of more compact size,
reduced weight and dramatically lower cost that are key to consumer
electronics applications. As a result of the LED array, the system is
designed to afford significant image quality advantages in brightness,
resolution and color quality. We have previously used LED arrays to
demonstrate displays containing more than 9 million pixel elements."
Consumer electronics companies are interested in wearable display
systems for portable media of all kinds. Such systems could be used to
watch films, access the Internet, or play computer games in 2D or 3D
with the immersive feeling of a big-screen cinema or a really large
"What is particularly exciting about this," Willey added, "is that
there really is no other way to achieve this effect in a reasonable
package using miniature flat panel displays. Our prospective customers
have done considerable work in this area and found that fundamentally
you're up against the constraints of optics. Because of how our
current system works, we have the ability to simplify and fold optics
in a way that others have not discovered. It appears that this is
potentially very important to developers of media and gaming systems
because it would not only overcomes the problem of small displays in
handheld devices, but it could get one into the realm of high-end
cinema and simulation. I think it's something that someone could
really lie back and enjoy on a long flight."

Veneers are a thin piece of porcelain that are applied to the teeth in order to give them back a natural look after being stained or chipped. If a patient has a gap in his/her smile, veneers can also be used to fill it. Veneers also have the strength and resilience of natural teeth so they are quite hardy. They are also irreversible.
Unlike crowns or braces, veneers are rather unintrusive. They are simply a cosmetic solution to any issue a patient might find with the look of his/her smile. Discoloration, fractures, chips, small misalignments, and small gaps can all be fixed with veneers.
Unlike crowns or braces, veneers are rather unintrusive.
They are simply a cosmetic solution to any issue a patient might find with the look of his/her smile. Discoloration, fractures, chips, small misalignments, and small gaps can all be fixed with veneers.
There are two types of veneers – porcelain and composite resin. Porcelain veneers resist stains better than the composite resin and mimic the properties of natural teeth.
Three trips are the average for applying a veneer. One consultation meeting then two meetings to create and apply the veneers. If multiple teeth are getting veneers they can all be done within the three trips.
To prepare for the veneer application the dentist and patient will go through diagnosis and treatment planning. The dentist will decide with the patient at this meeting whether veneers are a good choice for him/her and if they are how to best proceed. To prepare the tooth for a veneer the dentist will take off about a half a millimeter of enamel from the tooth's surface. A model or impression will then be made and sent to a lab. There will be a two to four week waiting period while the lab constructs the veneer. The last step is to bond the veneer to the tooth once the veneer comes back from the lab. After making sure the veneer will look good on the tooth by trimming and adjusting the color the dentist will prepare the tooth by cleaning, polishing and etching it. A special cement material will be used to apply the veneer to the tooth and a light will be shined to cure it permanently to the tooth. After getting rid of the excess cement the patient will be asked to bite to make sure the veneer is not in the way. Another appointment will be made for the next couple of weeks to make sure the gums are accepting the new veneer.
If you think a veneer will improve your smile call Dr. Heather Darcey at Clear Lake Dental, 281-488-6862. You can also make an appointment online today!

Oxford researchers find new benefits of aspirin
News University News
22nd March 2012 Matt Stokes
Three new studies carried out at Oxford's Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences have provided further evidence of the effect of aspirin in fighting cancer.
A team of researchers led by Professor Peter Rothwell has concluded that the painkiller may have preventative effects in as little as two to three years. Previous studies had suggested that it was only after between eight and ten years of daily doses that aspirin had a preventative effect against cancer.
The first study suggested that the risk of dying from cancer was 37 per cent lower after taking aspirin daily for five years.
Furthermore, the studies suggest that it may stop existing cancer from spreading and therefore be useful in treatment. Professor Rothwell called for new trials into this potential benefit to be carried out "urgently".
However, the researchers warned that the evidence was not conclusive. Professor Rothwell, stressing the potentially harmful effects of aspirin, said the researchers were "not recommending the use of aspirin in everybody". Side effects of the drug include heartburn and internal bleeding, especially in the stomach, which can be fatal.
But Professor Rothwell also said that "the guidelines on use of aspirin in the healthy middle-aged population certainly need to be updated", and argued that the potential benefits outweigh the risks of taking aspirin, specifically that of internal stomach bleeding.
The research led to widespread media coverage, with aspirin being called the "wonder drug" and the "miracle drug". The drug, which was first marketed at the turn of the 20th century, has been suggested as a treatment for many illnesses and ailments, including depression, acne, dandruff, dementia, heart disease, athlete's foot and shingles.
